The right jacket or blazer is so much more than a short-lived fashion statement or something to keep you warm. Whether zipped, buttoned or belted, a good jacket is timeless - a daily essential that can add the perfect finishing touch to your outfit throughout the year.
New York fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar identified seven jackets that every fashionable woman should own. Create the rock chick look with that cult classic, the biker jacket, or choose traditional tweed for high-class elegance. The army jacket completes a uniformed style, while nothing says casual chic like the denim jacket, which looks just as good with a floaty summer dress as it does with a trusty pair of trousers.
Our stylists have taken inspiration for our collection of jackets and blazers from classic styles and this season's latest trends. Which will be the perfect match for your own unique look?
When you're choosing your plus size jacket or blazer, you might be wondering whether jackets should be a size larger so that you can fit other layers of clothing underneath them. The answer is no - they're designed for you to wear over other clothes, so just order your normal size. That said, sizes do vary from one designer to another, so you may need to try a couple of different jacket or blazer sizes before finding the right fit for you. Take a look at our handy size guide for more help on what size to order.
If you're in need of some inspiration for how to wear jackets, it all depends on the kind of jacket we're talking about. One thing applies to them all, and that is that finding a jacket that fits you properly is vital for looking and feeling fab. For an edgy twist to a feminine outfit, pair your plus size leather biker jacket with a floral top and jeans, or even a pretty dress and boots. Style up a casual jeans and t-shirt outfit with a stylish open front blazer for days out, and in the evening you'll find that a plus size lace jacket is the perfect finishing touch to complete a sophisticated look for nights out on the town.
The elegant silhouette created by a tailored blazer will flatter your figure and help you highlight your curves, while looser plus size jacket styles are more forgiving. If you're looking for something a little different, why not try a Japanese-inspired kimono jacket? A collarless style is perfect for creating the androgynous look, while bold prints add a fun touch to any outfit. A plus size white jacket is a wardrobe staple that will go with pretty much everything, while a velvet jacket evokes old-world elegance and adds a touch of luxury to your outfit.
We're sometimes asked whether jackets shrink, and the answer is that it depends on the fabric; some materials are more prone to shrinking in the wash than others, but usually only if they're washed or tumble dried at too high a temperature. To prevent your new jacket or blazer from shrinking, simply make sure you follow the washing and drying instructions on the label carefully, as some jackets may require special care, such as dry cleaning.

If you've ever been caught speeding in North Mississippi, you might know Horace Kitchens, South Pontotoc High School's soccer coach.
Kitchens worked 24 years with the Mississippi Highway Patrol before retiring in 2009. In 1998, he was honored as Trooper of the Year for his work patrolling the state's highways.
This year, Kitchens has been honored for directing traffic on Northeast Mississippi's soccer fields. The coach who led his team to the Class 1A-2A-3A state championship match has been named the 2013 Daily Journal Coach of the Year in girls soccer.
"Coaching high school soccer has been one of the important things in my life," he said. "I love it. I love being with the kids."
Kitchens began his coaching career 10 years ago when the school entertained dropping boys soccer because they didn't have a coach. His son, Chance, was a player.
"I was working as a public affairs officer when I started coaching," he said. "My supervisor cleared the way. He told me as long as it didn't interfere with my job, I could coach. He knew I was helping kids."
Kitchens, with help from the school, community and parents, built the school's soccer field. They named it, much to his surprise, in his honor.
"I tell people it's 'in honor of,' not in 'memory of,' " Kitchens said, then laughed.
Both his teams, boys and girls, reached the postseason this year. The girls finished 14-6 overall with a loss to Hattiesburg Sacred Heart in the title match.
Two of his daughters, Breanna and Tristan, played for him this season. His oldest daughter, Karley, is a former Lady Cougars player.
"I thought we were capable of winning our division," Kitchens said of his expectations for this year's team. "We had a shaky start, but I knew we had a lot of talent and depth.
"We played good teams, which makes you better. I tell the kids to play your best every day. I believe in praying, but not praying to win. I pray for them to play their best."
They didn't let him down.

Publications Tagged: French Policy
- Added September 01, 1994
- French Policy Toward NATO: Enhanced Selectivity, Vice Rapprochement. Authored by Dr. William T. Johnsen, Dr. Thomas-Durell Young.
- The authors of this report explain how French policy toward NATO has changed since 1992. Importantly, they discuss how these changes have been effected. However, certain key elements of French external policy have not changed. In effect, therefore, the authors argue that while France may wish to cooperate with NATO, this does not imply that there will be a more cooperative French attitude toward the Alliance.

What defines the "typical" college student of today? It's difficult to apply a label. For instance, what percentage of undergraduates do you think have followed the conventional trajectory of coming straight from high school? Ninety percent? Eighty? The National Center for Education Statistics puts the figure at seventy percent. That means that almost a third of all undergraduates were doing something else first.
Chances are, they've been working. Perhaps they've gotten married and are raising a family. After taking one of life's detours, they may enroll in college on a part-time basis, bent on blazing their own unique path to success. They're not typical. And that's exactly the kind of student the College of Lifelong & eLearning specializes in.
For George Heudorfer — working, married, and about to start a family — the College was the perfect fit:
Heudorfer majored in business administration, which dovetailed perfectly with his position in sales for a business-to-business direct marketing company. "As a working professional who was continuing my education, I had the ability to apply newly acquired knowledge to my workplace almost every day. I became more valuable to my colleagues, clients, and community," he recalls.
The faculty members in the College also impressed Heudorfer, thanks to their ability to relate "real life" work experiences with traditional university coursework. "This helped me connect the dots from the classroom to the boardroom," he said.
Having found a good thing at UNH, Heudorfer chose the University for his graduate studies, earning his master's degree here. In large part, he made his decision to stay at UNH based on the University's strong international reputation and the mix of students from all over the world. The graduate program also gave him the opportunity to spend two weeks in China, a life-changing experience that gave him a greater understanding of that global power.
His M.B.A. opened more doors and opportunities for him. Today, he is Director of Sales for Logic Technology, a global eCommerce company, and interfaces with industry leaders and innovators from around the world. His final thought on his time at UNH? "The international connections I made at UNH are priceless assets in a global economy. They've helped me shape a business network with worldwide reach."
For the College of Lifelong & eLearning, Heudorfer's success story is one in which we're proud to have played a part.

A holiday home on Waiheke Island with curving walls and secret doors has been named the Best House in New Zealand.
Nicholas Stevens and Gary Lawson of Auckland's Stevens Lawson Architects were awarded the $15,000 first prize at HOME New Zealand magazine's Home of the Year award function in Auckland last night.
Check out the winning home and the finalists in this gallery.
The Home of the Year 2013 is located on a prominent headland and is made up of three curved, timber-clad pod forms. The windows of the pods frame slices of a dramatic 270-degree panorama that takes in Onetangi Beach, a series of rocky headlands and a pohutukawa tree overhanging a sheer drop to the ocean. Architect Gary Lawson describes the home as having an "organic" layout resembling "pebbles scattered on a beach".
The pod forms are linked by a central living, dining and kitchen area that feels like a futuristic verandah. The rooms within the pods are accessed through "secret" doors concealed in the pods' walls.
"We wanted to create a bit of mystery," architect Stevens said.
"The judges admired the home's discreet presence on the headland, and its innovative approach to creating delightful spaces," said HOME New Zealand editor Jeremy Hansen, who convened the three-person Home of the Year 2013 jury.
"The home's warm, highly crafted interiors are unique, intriguing and deeply respectful of a remarkable site."
The 285-square-metre house has three guest bedrooms on a lower level that isn't visible from the beach below.
"It's a house that's surprising and engaging as a series of spatial experiences," Lawson said.
"It's a thrilling series of spaces to move through and engage the senses".
The Home of the Year was selected from a shortlist of 11 homes from an open entry process. The shortlisted homes were visited by jury members Jeremy Hansen, Lance Herbst of Auckland's Herbst Architects, and Cathleen McGuigan, the New York-based editor of Architectural Record magazine.
The five other finalists:
• A home near Nelson by Hugh Tennent and Sharon Jansen of Wellington's Tennent Brown Architects.
• A home in Whanganui designed and built by Ben Mitchell-Anyon, Tim Gittos and Sally Ogle of Patch Work Architecture.
• A home in Westmere, Auckland, designed by Jane Priest of Lochore Priest Architects for herself, her husband and their two children.
• A courtyard home near Wanaka designed by Dominic Glamuzina and Aaron Paterson of Glamuzina Paterson Architects.
• A renovation of a mid-century Ernest A. Kalnins home in Christchurch by Duval O'Neill of Herriot + Melhuish Architects.

Chapter 44
Joseph arranges to stop the return of his brothers to Canaan—Judah offers himself in place of Benjamin for their father's sake.
1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.
2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
4 And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
6 ¶And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
10 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
13 Then they
14 ¶And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they
15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
18 ¶Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old
21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest
24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our
27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is

33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.

Deal conserves scenic, ecologically important land and ensures popular camp will continue connecting children to nature
Scenic Hudson and Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, Inc. (GSHH) have partnered to conserve 353 scenic and ecologically important acres. Protection of this unusually large forested property in the lower Hudson Valley marks another major victory in Scenic Hudson's Saving the Land That Matters Most campaign.
Under the transaction, Scenic Hudson purchased a conservation agreement from GSHH to ensure the permanent protection of 113 acres on which the main facilities and activity areas of Camp Addisone Boyce—a popular Girl Scout camp—are located. GSHH will retain sole use of this land, meaning local Girl Scouts will continue connecting with nature at the camp, as they have for decades. At the same time, Scenic Hudson purchased 240 acres surrounding the camp from GSHH, including ridgelines that contribute to the Hudson Highlands' iconic beauty as well as wetlands and ponds.
The newly protected property shares a border spanning nearly 1.5 miles with Bear Mountain and Harriman State Parks. Parts of this land are visible from popular trails within the parks, including the Appalachian Trail, as well as the Hudson River. Scenic Hudson plans to work with New York State Parks to add this land to the adjoining parks, providing new opportunities for the public to experience the region's natural beauty.

I've been in communication with a handful of grammarians/linguists over the past year or two about the possibility of developing a sort of Working Papers project for students and perhaps also professors to have an opportunity to get broader feedback and comment on papers related to Greek grammar.
Working Papers are an extremely common in the field of linguistics. They're generally viewed as somewhere between simply a school paper and a full fledged journal article. One of the challenges for biblical studies students in writing papers on grammatical topics is a lack of access to expertise on the subject. Most Greek professors, while they do a fine job teaching exegesis and the basics of grammar and syntax simply do not have the background in the broader fields of grammar to give adequate enough support for papers on grammatical subjects.
1) Provide students and scholars with a broader group of grammarians and linguists to receive feedback on their work.
2) Contribute toward introducing those interested in grammatical study to the key texts and resources available as well as the specialized literature relating to the topic of their papers through peer-review.
3) Create a new outlet for the promotion of the study of the Greek language at an academic level.
1) Would there be enough students and professors interested in contributing to such a work?
2) Are there enough even places where papers on grammatical subjects are written for students to have enough contributions?
3) Would there be enough qualified people who would be willing to give feedback on such papers?
This project would be entirely online--perhaps with an additional electronic resource via one or more bible software companies. We have a location on the internet already chosen, but we're not prepared yet for moving forward. Minimally, we'd want to get in contact with professors who teach Greek and assign (or simply allow) for papers on grammatical subjects in their classes in order to gauge interest. Briercrest, Biola, Houston Baptist University, DTS, GIAL, TWU are all possibilities schools that have come to my mind, but if anyone could suggest others that fit the bill, I'm all ears. These three are all places where I know there's either a grammarian/linguist teaching or they provide a class that focuses specifically on "advanced grammar."
Any feedback anyone might have is incredibly welcome.

Unlike other screw-lock shaky heads on the market, the Reaction Strike Porky's Revenge Shaky Head 5/0 is specifically designed to allow you to Tex-pose your baits, as opposed to using the standard Texas-rig method. This means the hook has far less plastic to penetrate for quality hooksets. Designed by FLW Tour pro, Sean Hoernke (also known as the "Hoern Toad" by fellow competitors), he used the Reaction Strike Porky's Revenge Shaky Head to win two FLW Tour Titles. Equipped with a 5/0 hook, the Reaction Strike Porky's Revenge Shaky Head 5/0 is perfect for larger diameter baits like 7-inch worms.

Not good for flat feet
"I was looking for shoes for zumba that would work with my flat feet. My running shoes for overpronators are great but not for lateral movements. I was hoping these shoes would fit the bill but they still hurt. I think they'd be great for people with moderate to high arches and would probably even be OK for walking but my flat feet are not a fan."

"These shoes are fine for everyday walking but horrible for any type of aerobic dance. I've never had a pair of shoes hurt like this. I thought they just needed to be broken in, but after several weeks of use in Zumba, they were no less uncomfortable.Because they are bulky and wide, they aren't even "painfully cute." In fact, in a size 10, they look quite masculine."

Beautiful shoes
"These shoes are beautiful. I ordered size 7.5 my usual size and they fit fine but my feet are slightly wide up front and they front part was digging in my feet which made it uncomfortable. I didnt want to return them because they are such pretty shoes but they front part was making it hard for me to walk in otherwise i would definietly recommend these shoes to people who dont have wide feet and they are true to size."

A reverent communication with God during which a person gives thanks and asks for blessings. Prayers are addressed to our Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ. Prayers can be either spoken aloud or silent. A person's thoughts may also be a prayer if they are directed to God. A song of the righteous may be a prayer to God (D&C 25:12).
The object of prayer is not to change the will of God, but to secure for ourselves and for others blessings that God is already willing to grant, but that we must ask for in order to obtain.
We pray to the Father in Christ's name (John 14:13–14; 16:23–24). We are truly able to pray in Christ's name when our wishes are the wishes of Christ (John 15:7; D&C 46:30). We then ask for things that are right and thus possible for God to grant (3 Ne. 18:20). Some prayers remain unanswered because they in no way represent Christ's desire but spring instead out of the selfishness of man (James 4:3; D&C 46:9). Indeed, if we ask God for unrighteous things, it will turn to our condemnation (D&C 88:65).
- Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord:Gen. 4:26;
- At the place of the altar, Abraham called on the name of the Lord:Gen. 13:4;
- Abraham's servant prayed for help in finding a wife for Isaac:Gen. 24:10–19;
- God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you:1 Sam. 12:23;
- The Lord heareth the prayer of the righteous:Prov. 15:29;
- Ye shall find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart:Jer. 29:12–13;
- Pray for them which despitefully use you:Matt. 5:44; ( Luke 6:28; 3 Ne. 12:44; )

The upcoming nuptial of British rockstar/comedian/weirdo Russell Brand and Katy Perry is going to be pretty hard to miss, despite the duo claiming they want to keep it a low-key affair. And that's just it, isn't it? When you act as goofy as Russell around the press, they're going to keep demanding more from their little dancing monkey-man. Maybe if the goth Willy Wonka stopped acting like he was Tom Cruise on Oprah every time the cameras started rolling, we'd pay less attention to him. Fame, she is a double-edged sword.

The Xerox Foundation
From its beginnings, Xerox has helped shape the idea of corporate social responsibility. Our efforts reflect our belief that a successful corporation must be an active participant in society. The Xerox Foundation is the hand that gives something back to the communities from which we draw our employees, our customers, and our freedom to conduct business.
Through our many programs, our people have given back to the communities in which they work and live for decades. We encourage employee involvement primarily through the following programs:
Xerox Community Involvement Program: XCIP provides the means to channel funds to local teams of employees to select and work on specific community projects that they identify in their communities.
Board membership: Many Xerox people, including our most senior leaders, offer their expertise and experience to the boards of national and international non-profit organizations.
United Way: Each year Xerox employees are educated on the benefits of the United Way programs and services. Xerox people can then choose to give, volunteer or advocate for the many organizations their United Way supports.
The Xerox Science Consultant Program: The Xerox Science Consultant program enjoys a rich history of nearly 50 years. Active in Monroe County, NY and Wilsonville, OR, the goal of the program is to improve student attitudes towards science, make it fun, interesting and accessible. Xerox Science Consultants deliver hands-on science lessons to students in grades 4-6 that "make science cool."
FIRST Robotics and LEGO League: Xerox's partnership with FIRST (For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) brings together students and Xerox scientists to build a programmed, fully functional robot — from a box of parts or bag of Legos®. The partnership has helped thousands of students channel their curiosity through a challenging and fun-filled program that shows "real-life" science and engineering concepts at work.
Additionally, Xerox contributed $13.5 million in 2016 in these focus areas:
- Education/Workforce Preparedness
- Science/Technology
- Employee/Community Affairs
- Cultural Affairs
- National Affairs
- Environmental Affairs
Policies and Guidelines
At Xerox, we believe that a corporation today has institutional responsibilities that go beyond its primary economic role. If you would like to submit a grant request to the Xerox Foundation, please review and follow the guidelines below. Please note that only those organizations receiving an investment from Xerox will be contacted.
Guidelines for Applying
No specific application form is used. Requests for grants/funding should be submitted in the form of a letter describing the project or program. The request should contain the legal name of the organization, the official contact person, tax- exempt status, a brief description of activities and programs, the purpose for which the grant is being requested, the benefits expected, plans for evaluation, projected budget and the expected sources and amount of needed funds. A copy of the latest annual financial statement should be included.
Please note:
- Grants are made only to organizations that have been granted exemption from Federal Income Tax under Section 501 (c)(3) and ruled to be publicly supported under Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
- Grant application reviews take place monthly and the Board of Trustees meet several times a year.
- Large grants may be approved for more than one year (multi-year grants).
- All organizations that have previously received support on an annual basis from the Foundation, must re-submit a request each year to be evaluated for continued support.

Eastman Kodak Co. late Tuesday afternoon filed its first quarterly financial results since emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Sept. 3.
Excluding reorganization items and discontinued operations, the company posted an adjusted net loss for the third quarter—which included two months operating as the old Kodak and one month as the new Kodak—of $155 million. That compares with a net loss of $312 million a year ago.
Including those items, Kodak generated net income of $1.99 billion in the quarter, the company said. The net income figure reflects $2.01 billion from the old Kodak in the first two months of the quarter and a loss of $18 million from the new Kodak in September.
Earnings attributable to common shareholders totaled $6.98 a share, compared with a net loss of $1.19 a share a year ago, on a continuing operations basis.
Revenues fell from $660 million to $563 million, chiefly due to the end of sales of consumer inkjet printers and the declines in motion picture film sales.
As of Sept. 30, the company had $839 million in cash and cash equivalents and debt of $679 million, down $1.44 billion compared with Dec. 31.
"We are pleased with our progress on earnings this quarter, with operational EBITDA on track with expectations," Kodak CEO Antonio Perez said. "Further, our customers are telling us they are impressed with our technologies, and increasingly ready to adopt and apply our solutions to help grow their businesses.
"Our strengths in imaging for business markets, including packaging, functional printing, graphic communications and professional services, position us well to move forward on our strategy with increasing momentum."
The company said favorable product/price mix in both of its business segments--Digital Printing & Enterprise, and Graphics, Entertainment & Commercial Films--contributed to an 8 percentage point improvement in gross profit for the quarter, confirming the company's strategy of focus on profitability.
Kodak stock (NYSE: KODK) closed Tuesday at $24.80, down 2 percent. The company released its results after the market closed.

|In response to Re: Installing a washer/dryer in an apartment-style condo
: Hi there-
: My husband and I are considering getting a washer and dryer for our condo (laid out like a traditional apartment). As we don't think it has washer hookups, we were wondering what options are available to us? Portable machine draining to the sink? Regular machine draining to the sink? Having hook-ups installed? As we are expecting our first child, we were hoping to go the least expensive route.
: Thanks for your help!

|In response to Re: Commercial carrier installation-need help fast
Why did the plumbing fail? Installing a wall mount toilet can be difficult if you do not know the proper routine. If it is installed improperly, the toilet can crack when it is mounted or when it is used. Why isn't the plumber doing the correction?
: I am an owner of a family entertainment center that was scheduled to open 2 weeks ago. We have failed our final plumbing inspection. We flushed the pipes and found no leaks. The walls that the carrier is on is green board drywall and they are not very straight. After pulling a couple of the toilets off, we noticed some of the seals were pinched. There are washers that did not come with the orginal order that the manufacture says should of came with. We need help fast, we have a $2 million dollar investment and can't open our doors. Any insite would greatly be appreciated.

2013 Sescal Ranger Dinner Reservation Form
Printed from the Fall 1990 Heliograph
When the Western Postal History Museum was established in 1960, one of its founding objectives was to organize an independent sponsoring society to finance and staff the museum. After a series of meetings between Albert Evans, Arthur Springer, Bill Alexander, and Omega Williamson, it was decided to call the organization "Arizona Philatelic Rangers". The name was derived from the famous 26 men who were the Arizona Rangers dedicated to restoration of law and order in territorial Arizona. A Constitution and by-laws were adopted at the end of 1960.
The four founders at that meeting became the executive board of the Arizona Philatelic Rangers with the addition of Walter A. Benz of New York who had been a special advisor and supporter in many matters relative to the museum.
With the consent of Pima County Sheriff Waldon V. Burr, it was agreed that members of the Rangers would be appointed either sheriff or deputy sheriff and would receive appropriate badges.
Dr. Ray Brandes was made Honorary Ranger Sheriff #1 for his untiring efforts as co-founder of the museum and supportive advisor. At the end of that first year, the Arizona Philatelic Rangers grew to 26 members, equaling the number of original Arizona Rangers. Soon Rangers were enlisting from all over the United States, Mexico, Canada, and overseas.
The museum prospered and, as Ranger membership and financial support grew, projects were added to the museum's activities. From 1961 to 1969, the Rangers raised over $120,000 from contributions and stamps donated by Rangers and philatelists all over the country.
At the outset, the Rangers and the museum were one and the same. The accomplishments of the museum were also the successes of the Rangers. There's no doubt that the early efforts of the Rangers' support and fundraising activities were the most significant element in the growth, stability and success of the Western Postal History Museum.
Museum co-founder and Arizona Philatelic Ranger #1 Ray Brandes recounted the story about the founding of the Arizona Philatelic Rangers:
A major rifle manufacturer was running an advertisement in the national magazines in 1960 showing a partial version of a picture of Arizona Rangers. The caption read, "Why doesn't one of these Texas Rangers have our rifle?" Ray, as assistant director of the Arizona Historical Society, recognized the picture as that of the Arizona Rangers and telephoned the company to point out their mistake. The company, red faced, turned their blunder into a major publicity event. They ran a new advertisement apologizing for misidentifying the Arizona Rangers as the Texas Rangers. They also had an "Arizona Apology Day" complete with festivities, hanging the corporate president in effigy on the grounds of the state capitol building, and a spectacular party in Scottsdale. Both Ray and Bill Alexander attended the party.
While all this was going on, Bill was sitting there drawing a picture of a little star - the badge of the Arizona Rangers. He said, 'You know, I think what I'd like to do is create an organization called the Arizona Philatelic Rangers.' That's how the Rangers began.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
A pictorial history of the U.S. Navy's mothball fleet, this handsome book takes a rare look at the so-called fleet behind the fleet, from the end of World War II to the present. Through photographs of the ships and shipyards where they were laid up and brief ship histories, it tells the story of how these ships were paid off and preserved, how some were reactivated, and how most left the reserve fleet to be broken up. Additional photos of the ships in action remind readers that forgotten though they were while in mothballs, many made their marks on history.
Year after year the warships lay quiet and lifeless, like boarded up old houses once full of activity that had outlived their usefulness. The row upon row of mostly now-anonymous vessels, hatches sealed shut, offer a bleak contrast to the drama of their wartime operations. You can almost hear the wind whistling through the masts and superstructures stripped of radars. Below decks there is only the sound of the dehumidifiers, removing moisture from the air, retarding the buildup of rust and deterioration. Berthing areas, repair shops and radio rooms have been frozen in time, looking exactly as they did when sealed decades before. Among them are such well-known ships as the Enterprise and the Midway, as well as little-known ones like the Fall River, and some that were laid up almost as soon as they were completed, like the Oregon City. Here too are the frigates and nuclear submarines of a later age. These are the ships of the forgotten fleet, built for war but resting at peace in coastal parking lots on both sides of the country, their story told for the first time.
Daniel Madsen is also the author of Forgotten Fleet: The Mothball Navy. He lives in Kenwood, California.

World University Rankings 2015-2016 methodology
Change for the better: fuelled by more comprehensive data, the 2015-2016 rankings probe deeper than ever
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings are the only global performance tables that judge research-intensive universities across all their core missions: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. We use 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators to provide the most comprehensive and balanced comparisons, trusted by students, academics, university leaders, industry and even governments. The basic methodology for this year's rankings is similar to that employed since the 2011-12 tables, but we have made important changes to the underlying data.
The performance indicators are grouped into five areas:
- Teaching (the learning environment)
- Research (volume, income and reputation)
- Citations (research influence)
- International outlook (staff, students and research)
- Industry income (knowledge transfer).
Note on comparisons with previous years
Because of changes in the underlying data, we strongly advise against direct comparisons with previous years' World University Rankings.
Universities are excluded from the World University Rankings if they do not teach under-graduates or if their research output amounted to fewer than 200 articles per year over the five-year period 2010-14. In exceptional cases, institutions below the 200-paper threshold are included if they have a particular focus on disciplines with generally low publication volumes, such as engineering or the arts.
Data collection
Institutions provide and sign off their institutional data for use in the rankings. On the rare occasions when a particular data point is not provided – which affects only low-weighted indicators such as industrial income – we enter a low estimate between the average value of the indicators and the lowest value reported: the 25th percentile of the other indicators. By doing this, we avoid penalising an institution too harshly with a "zero" value for data that it overlooks or does not provide, but we do not reward it for withholding them.
Getting to the final result
Moving from a series of specific data points to indicators, and finally to a total score for an institution, requires us to match values that represent fundamentally different data. To do this we use a standardisation approach for each indicator, and then combine the indicators in the proportions indicated below.
The standardisation approach we use is based on the distribution of data within a particular indicator, where we calculate a cumulative probability function, and evaluate where a particular institution's indicator sits within that function. A cumulative probability score of X in essence tells us that a university with random values for that indicator would fall below that score X per cent of the time.
For all indicators except the Academic Reputation Survey, we calculate the cumulative probability function using a version of Z-scoring. The distribution of the data in the Academic Reputation Survey requires us to add an exponential component.

A GM's Carol: The Ghost Of Draft Schmaft
Pension Plan Puppets
September 09 2011 01:31PM
Wonderful images courtesy of Dirty Dangle
Jay Feaster, after a long night, had woken up to head to the bathroom to deposit the remnants of the liter of cola he'd had just before bed. Suddenly, his room started to fill with fog and a sense of lost opportunity washed over him.
"My name is Jay."
"Oh yeah, Jaaayyyyy, I'm the Ghost of Draft Schmaft"
"What do you want with me?"
"I'm going to show you the damage that Calgary's terrible drafting has caused."
With that the thickening fog dissipated and Feaster and the ghostly spectre have moved to a chilling scene.
There wasn't enough room to put Chris Chucko here
"What is this place?"
"This is the graveyard of players drafted by your Calgary Flames. This is but a small sample of the first round failures that your franchise have selected."
"Well, at least we didn't trade two first rounders for Phil Kessel!" *Chuckles to himself*
"No, you guys traded one first rounder for noted superstar Olli Jokinen and then moved your 2009 first rounder Tim Erixon for magic beans."
"Well, that was the last guy. He's the one that dug this hole."
"And it is a massive hole. The organization's prospect pool has been ranked 27th in the NHL by Puck Prospectus and 30th by Hockey's Future."
"Hmmm, that doesn't sound good."
"No kidding, under weaknesses they put 'lack of talent'. I think that's a bad sign."
"This is the team that drafted Al MacInnis, Gary Roberts, Paul Ranheim, Brett Hull, Gary Suter, Joe Nieuwendyk and Theoren Fleury! We must have picked up some good players since then."
"Sure you did. Look at this list of your draft picks. The Flames have drafted a lof of NHLers like Chuck Kobasew, Jarrett Stoll, and Kurtis Foster."
"I don't recognize those guys as Flames..."
"That's because they all made their names elsewhere. Although, I have to admit, those prospect rankings were a little unfair. They said that the Flames don't have any defencemen coming up through the system but that's not true. You guys drafted a couple of players that will staples on Hockey Night in Canada for the next decade."
"Oh fuck you old man!"
"Maybe you'd prefer a picture of Doug Gilmour?"
"That's it, I am out of here."
"You'll go when I'm good and ready to let you go and not a second sooner. Before I leave I want you to go through this spectacular NHL draft database in which all of the Flames' mediocrity over the past 17 years is laid bare. You can see how during Darryl Sutter's tenure the Flames drafted 47 players and have the fewest NHL points per drafted player. Flames fans will be able to work their way through it to see for themselves just how poorly their team has scouted, drafted, and developed their players."
"Please, stop it..." *weeps*
With tears streaming down his face at the horrors the three ghosts had shown him he looked around and the fog had dissipated. He was no longer in the graveyard of awful drafts past but was back in his room in a cement building in Calgary. Feaster raced to his window.
"Why, it's September 9th."
"So there's still hope..."
And with that Jay Feaster sat down to plot his team's future and plant the seeds of its resurrection.
What would YOU do to help arrest Calgary's decline?
September 09 2011, 01:52PM
This is the chapter whose comments I am most interested in reading. I've watched what bad drafting can do (my team traded down from Zach Parise to take Marc-Antoine Pouliot) and I'm curious to hear what Flames fans have to say on this matter.
September 09 2011, 01:53PM
And I got the first comment! Go team me!
September 09 2011, 02:28PM
Great work Trips. It's always tough for teams to rebuild, especially when they have a second half like the Flames did last year. Hopefully it's not too late for them.
What's to say?
When the Flames were the toast of the League and Cup champions we drafted and developed as well as or better than anyone.
Then we got rid of guys like Tom Thompson and Ian McKenzie and our drafting tanked and we didn't give a rat's arese about proper development and now we are where we are.
Anyone else see the correlation?
This is why the flames are scared to do a rebuild. they know they suck in those 2 areas and rather than address it adequately they figure it better to just bury their heads in the sand and 'hope' for another 2004 miracle (worst thing that ever happened to this team in some ways).
It's simply a vicious circle, our first and second round picks don't pan out, so we a/ either have to overpay and sign UFA's or b/ trade away future picks just to fill the ranks.
The result, the Flames can find mid level talent, but miss out on the high end / impact players. If you don't draft them, the cost of acquiring / signing a true high end talent is out of reach.
Trading for players or signing UFA's is also a gamble... you have no idea how the chemistry is going to work, or how well a certain player will react to say playing in another conference, or under another coaching style.
Having good draft picks to work into the line up allows you to see what you have, and to simply plan ahead.
That list of guys they drafted that Played over 1000 games is incredible. Who's in charge now (and recently) that they have done such a pisspoor job?
I don't know all the names now. Tod Button is still in charge though. The decline started when Flecther left and it never recovered.
I don't think all of the drafting was super-terrible, I think development also has a lot to do with it. Just listen to the Jason Bonsignore interview on Nation Radio. It blew me away. I'd have knocked Sather's block off.
To me, it's 100% drafting AND 100% development. We've haven't done our young players many favors over the years. Teams get desperate and just exacerbate the problem by rushing guys in. Then they don't perform and so the coach turns them into 3rd and 4th liners.
Short-sightedness soon turns into a viscious circle as Michael pointed out.
September 09 2011, 04:48PM
Ditto for the Oilers. Fraser did a pretty good job in '79, '80, and '81, but then there are drafts like '90 where things go horribly wrong. The comparison between recent Flames history and the Leafs is uncanny though. It seems odd that Fletcher, someone who had built teams through the draft, so casually tossed it aside in TO. Either way, the strategy of "mortgage the future for a slim chance of happiness today" seems to be applicable for both the Leafs and Flames organizations under Fletcher's and Sutter's watch, respectively.
Given the Flames close association with the WHL it's surprising that they haven't used those ties to improve their amateur scouting crew.
September 09 2011, 05:03PM
And I got the first comment! Go team me!
Your supposed to say "Fist!!" ;)
I have to admit that I think that the drafting has improved the last couple of seasons, but the philosophy of the draft needs to change. And maybe it has a bit since Darryl left. The draft cannot be a tool simply for finding players that can play in the NHL. Each summer you can find bottom six forward and bottom three defensemen on the free agent market or swing trades to bring in depth. The draft needs to be a tool to bring in the type of players that you cant trade for or sign without having to give up huge money or a big chunk of the future. The draft needs to be the biggest opportunity to add skill (elite caliber, top six forward/top three defensemen skill) to the organization. Every scout that goes to watch a game needs to be evaluating players based on what is their upside and do they have the raw talent to get there. I am not saying that character does not count, because skill without heart gives you Daigle. But heart without skill gives you Kostopoulos and these are not the type of players we need to be drafting.
I like the pick of Bartschi, Grandlund, and Gaudreau and was okay with Reinhart and Wahl and really liked Howse as a pick. Where I have a problem is when we use a second round draft choice on a player like Wotherspoon who is described as a potential 5-6 defenseman in the NHL. This to me is a waste. You can find 5-6 defensemen everywhere. I would rather have taken a look at St Croix or Lowry since they have top six potential.
The draft has to be about big plays. You need to swing for the fences and look for players that have that special skill and ability on the ice. You cannot teach somebody how to score goals or how to make great passes, those players just have that gift naturally. They can be taught defensive play and responsibility, so why draft players that only have those skill sets. A team of third and fourth liners is not good enough. You need as many draft picks as possible. You need to focus on talent.
I would double my scouting staff and would poach the best people in hockey and pay them what they are worth. And I would expect that from every second or draft there should be one top tier player drafted. You dont really need more than that. One high end level player every second year and you are a contender every year.
We are talking about a team that since Sutter took over could have a lineup with Green, Stastny, and Lucic. Let alone the pieces we could have still had if he had not been such an idiot at asset management. Keep track of scouts evaluations and promote, demote, or fire those scouts that just cant pick the players with skill.
Second is you need to improve the development programs for these players. They need more attention from the moment they are drafted about things like conditioning, psychology, and nutrition. Go out and find and hire a guy like Gary Roberts to show these guys how its done and what it means to be a pro. Hire guys that have just left the game as consultants to act as mentors to these kids. Guys that were skilled and guys that had to work their butts off to make the NHL. Teach these kids that its a tough, long road and that they are not guarenteed anything. Lastly, take your time with the prospects and put them in situations where they can learn, develop, mature, and excel. Having a skilled prospect playing five minutes a game on the fourth line does nothing but destroy them. Increased competition in practices and higher competition on the ice does not overcome the fact that the players are one not getting enough playing time, and two are not being used in situations that are going to hone and develop their skills. These prospects are better off spending their time playing top three/six mintues in the AHL than they are in the NHL. Let them grow and play the PP and PK along with last minutes of the game winning or losing. That is how they will develop into proper NHL players. In my opinion we should have seen a lot more from Lombardi, Kobasew, and Boyd than we did based on their skill sets. I think that we ruined them with our development (or lack thereof) system. And if they dont give Backlund opportunities to learn, grow, and develop they are going to stagnate him into a career third line player.
September 09 2011, 05:16PM
What would i do? wait the year till Jim Nill is available for negotiations then back the truck up to him and ask "HOW MUCH?" Give it to him and walk away. I believe he is a drafting and scouting genius. Fill the front office with hockey guys. Stock the shelves. Unfortunately Feaster is not a guy i would trust with scouting or drafting.
September 09 2011, 05:39PM
I agree with absolutely everything in here except for one small detail and that would be finding an impact guy every second year. Probably a little too ambitious, but you're right, the team that did it would definately be a perennial contender.
I've said before that even if Calgary had just found 1 impact player every 5 years they'd be well off. Think about it, that's 3 more superstars than they currently have since about the time Iginla came into the NHL!
Agree, swing for the fences within reason and get the difference-makers.
When you read a book like Future Greats and Heartbreaks it's amazing how poorly scouts are often treated and how egotistical GM's overrule a year and a half of player evaluation over 1 or 2 games where they either fall in love with or hate a player. Why have scouts at all then? Stupid.
Ergo, I love the idea poaching the best guys around the league, of treating them with respect, better pay, giving them something longer than a 1 year contract and not threatening them with their jobs every 2nd day.
Evaluate the talent of the talent evaluators and have more of them and pay them better.
The same should be done on the development side. It's a small drop in the bucket when you compare it to even one bad contract.
I agree that feast isn't the guy to do the scouting and drafting but he also isn't trying to either. The thing feaster is doing right is brining in people to do those jobs. I like the agm he brought on, im curious how that impacts the future. I liked what players we drafted this year.
The question to me is how does jay deal with trading and signing. I like what he did with the erixon mess, the regehr trade is tbd at best (and im leaning on the positive side because I think we over valued regeher in Calgary based on market conditions) and for signings we have seen the nmc/ntc for 3 players, and I can only hear an argument that two of them may of deserved it.
While the feaster era is still young, im reserving judgment for the year end. Its too early to tell in any capacity in my mind, but I think feaster will mire than likely be the GM who sets it up real well for the next guy

Bang on. This is exactly the legacy Sutter left behind. He then paid lengthy contracts to the likes of Bourque and Stajan. On the Flames roster there are not many homegrown talents. On any roster there are not many former Flame drafted players. This is the philosophy change that Feaster has talked about. I really like what he did with his first draft in terms of the type of player identified. We have enough grinders. This organization NEEDS homegrown top end skill. for the sake of showing that they can simply identify top talent alone. They need to invest in scouting especially European scouting. At some point Tod Button and his staff have to be held accountable. The tired excuse that it's 18 yr old kids and it's hard to see how they will develop can NOT be used anymore. All those draft busts and mistakes (ie not taking Mike Green) don't apply. What they show is a philosophical decision to go in another direction (Grinding winger Chris Chucko).
I want a scouting department that fights for the best talent to be drafted. Hopefully Feaster does too.
September 09 2011, 07:45PM
The trouble with comparing to the Leafs organization is that they came from totally different situations. Leafs came from huge (wasted) advantages, whereas the Flames had many disadvantages to overcome.
The Flames had a 15 year old problem that turned the corner about 4 years ago. You won't see most of the positive results for another 3 years. The primary issue is that our NHL roster desperately needed to improve over a complete cycle:
-1997 to 2003-BRUTAL, We weren't even close to making the playoffs. Other than a blue-chip Iggy and a young Regehr, we had a skeleton roster and a only a few prospects worthy of the NHL. We didn't have our own farm team. There is precious little to show for many years of top ten draft choices. On top of that, economics prevented the Flames from competing with other teams for free agents.
-2003 to 2007-RESPECTED, Out of necessity, we traded a lot of 2nd round picks to fill the roster. We built a strong roster that makes playoffs every year (one glorious cup final), but still left with very weak prospects pool. The picks we did make were mostly late-in-round picks, but the selections were still not good. The drafting strategy changed significantly in 2007 for the better. Less bias towards "WHL" power types and more emphasis on "Euro" skill types.
By 05/06, the economics and new CBA allow Flames to be competitive in the free agent market (for better or worse).
-2008 to 2010-CUP GREEDY/DESPERATE, Our drafting is sound, considering that the picks are still late in each round. While improving, we still do not have a full compliment of NHL prospects. The development of most players is slow, except for the few prospects that show themselves to be NHL ready.
But at this time the team opted to compromise on prospect-building in favor of loading up for the playoffs, in consecutive years. A perennial playoff team that still struggles in West Conference playoffs against Det, SJ and Chi. GM rolls the dice hoping to raise the team to a cup contender, trading picks/prospects for players that fail to make the difference. The team actually regresses to 90 points, missing playoffs and the GM is fired when the team fails to rebound (35pts in next 37 games).
-2011-LICKING OUR WOUNDS-The same team goes on a .670 clip over final 47 games. New GM's focus is "retool", but aging veterans and cap space are a concern. The prospects from 2007-onward are coming along, but few are NHL ready. New GM trades 2 of the 4 core veterans (both waived NTCs) for younger assets and clears cap space for future moves. Furthermore, the new GM has invested significantly in new resources to provide decision makers with more information and analytical tools.
We are now in position to keep our picks and build up prospects because our core roster is strong and deep enough to make playoffs. There should be no panic urgency to give away roster players that we like, to buy other teams prospects/picks. Stay on track with what we have. God forbid if we have one Leafs (re: bad) year in 2015 if our prospects take an extra year to develop. Then we get a top 10 pick (does Fata have any kids playing hockey?)
The team notably lacks an elite 1st line player to match the legit cup contenders in the West. The team has one year before 11 non-core contracts expire. The GM will determine if the .670 team can play at least .6oo hockey in the first half of the year. If it does he could take on a large contract to improve the team, either at the deadline or in the off-season as part of the retooling of a playoff team.
If the team does not perform well in the first half, GM can consider selling UFAs at the deadline to acquire a few additional picks or prospects.

Can you really blame Button for those moves or lack of moves, or missed draft picks though when it was D. Sutter controlling the draft... rather than Button?
September 10 2011, 12:33AM
Great series! Really enjoyed reading them. I hope Jay-Fee can right the ship.
September 10 2011, 10:07AM
Your supposed to say "Fist!!" ;)
I would on ON, but different nation different rules. When in Rome.
Further to someone's comment about Nill, what he does so well that has gained him the reputation he has is that he is smart enough to realize the direction he wants to take and wise enough to know when to get out of his own way. He hires smart people and surrounds himself with them and values their opinion. Tambellini is trying to do the same thing here, hire good people who know how to do their jobs (MacGregor is a great example) and then get the hell out of their way. We'll see if that can spread to the rest of the organization, but that attitude is 180 degrees from Sutter's approach. I don't think simply hiring Nill is the right answer (don't get me wrong, it's still be a really good move) but instead getting in someone with vision, patience, and a free hand to work without the owners breathing down their neck about winning now.
While the Flames drafting has improved this year, I haven't seen enough to say that they have turned the corner. Reviews of their 2011 draft were mixed, as most felt they took Baertschi because that's where he was supposed to go and that, while committing to skilled forwards for a change, too often they were picking players according to where everyone else thought they ranked rather than using their own insight or making a bold "swind-for-the-fences" style pick. And don't bother saying that the Flames could have or should have Mike Green. There were 26 teams that passed on him. Looking through old draft records is fun sometimes but too often becomes a game of coulda, shoulda, woulda.
I would also like to add that, while maybe it's just the people posting here, over the last two months of summer I've noticed that fan opinion has transitioned from defensive optimism to pragmatic realism and desire for change. I'm not saying Flames fans have jumped on the rebuild bandwagon, but that it seems like more and more are asking for direction, any direction, rather than just the status quo. Tell me if you think I'm wrong, I would like to know if fans have noticed a change in attitude and whether it is due to the action/inaction of the team, or just because it's the off-season and emotions have begun to wane.

You could be right. I don't know how a GM controls a draft. What I sense is that Darryl would pick grit over skill. The philosophy was if two players went into the corner for a puck he'd draft the kid who he thought would come out with it ie the harder competitor. I think that's why a Mike Green wasn't drafted. He was available and a Calgarian but not a farm boy work ethic. That's why we drafted the Brandon Prusts, the JD Watts and the Matt Pelechs. The hard to play against identity over ruled everything. We need a hard to defend against identity now. Calgary is 6 years behind organizations who put a premium on skill. Obviously you have to skilled guys who work cause I don't want a bunch of Zheredevs either.

The draft history is full of scouts and GMs who out-thought themselves. As I understand it, how a draft is run depends on the organization, but for the most part a GM asks the scouts to identify players who fit a certain criteria, outside of the top-ranked players of course. Then the scouts go out and gather info about players who fit that description (D. Sutter = grit and two-way play). When the draft is being run some GMs prefer to be hands on, others leave it to their head scouts as a sort of reward for all the work they've done. When Tambellini made MacGregor the HS he placed a premium on finding players with size, skill, and character. He wanted players who would contribute to team chemistry. That selection criteria has been helped by their draft position, but nevertheless. Another example is Washington's commitment to taking Russian players, knowing that skilled Russians can often be available late in the first round Washington is willing to take a chance on them knowing that many will do whatever it takes to play with Ovechkin. My gut tells me Feaster is lookinf for skilled forwards, regardless of size (see Gaudreau, John) and that he is placing a premium on talent and offensive ability for the time being. That's just my guess based on whom the Flames selected this past year.

Fast Facts about this Product:
Designed for use in your car, truck, RV, or boat, this booster significantly improves your cell phone's performance and signal strength. It supports multiple cell phones and data cards simultaneously. You'll experience fewer dropped calls, faster data rates, and clearer reception.
How it works: The outside antenna picks up the cellular signal and sends it through the first cable to the amplifier. The signal is then boosted and sent through the second cable to the inside antenna, which rebroadcasts the boosted signal. All of your modems/phones within range of the inside antenna can benefit from the boosted signal wirelessly.
*Many factors will influence the actual coverage area you will see from a repeater, including layout/floorplan, construction, and original un-amplified signal strength. Depending on your situation, you may see more or less coverage than the estimates listed here. It is not possible to guarantee coverage area.
