Our disruptive landscape is driving companies to evolve with the result that Merger & Acquisiton (M&A) activity is currently at record levels with worldwide deal-making up by 32% from 2014*. Multi-nationals and big companies are battling to cope with the competition from niche developments and start-ups that have the ability to scale quickly and efficiently. They need to make important decisions if they are to continue to hold a dominant share of the market.
JLL research has revealed that real estate can create value for companies in four major ways throughout the M&A lifecycle: mitigate risk, optimise costs, accelerate strategy and ensure successful integration.
If you consider that corporate real estate represents one of the largest asset classes and is often the second-biggest cost on a corporate balance sheet, it is clear that it lends powerful implications to a business' strategic, financial and operational goals. For any company considering a merger, an acquisition or a divestiture transaction, they should bring in their CRE teams early on in the discussions to unlock the value in their real estate portfolios. According to JLL research, 76% of companies involved in a merger or acquisition over the past five years consider real estate an important or critical factor of success
Comprehensive data and insight can be used to determine assets vs liabilities – a portfolio can be positively impacting earnings or restricting future expansion and agility- a more robust business case can be built in the due diligence phase to get the process right.
Whatever the M&A strategy, the fact is it will come with enormous challenges and changes. If you elevate CRE into the confidential layer of the strategising process, you stand a far better chance of highlighting the opportunities and mitigating the risks. From portfolio benchmarking to more accurate valuation and forecasting, there is a range of tools available which will benefit all the risk, cost, operational and integration elements. This is key for businesses looking for speed of integration, speed to market, risk mitigation and cost optimisation.
The current pace of M&A activity is fuelled by a fast evolving and volatile global economy. With a fully aligned real estate masterplan, your business will be primed to act when the time is right. For instance, where organic growth is not possible, it can make sense to divest the underperforming business to focus on the core business and drive profitability. To this end, JLL has assisted global companies to identify their most profitable and productive assets and dispose of their non-core assets. Maximising the value of real estate in the M&A process and selling off assets can unlock capital gain and reducing the burden of large investments in year one. A real estate strategy can identify consolidation opportunities between two company portfolios, highlight financial and operational liabilities, business synergies and economies of space with the aim to increase efficiency, productivity and performance.
In emerging markets particularly, corporate investors are employing M&A strategies to steer their plans for rapid growth. CRE is the vehicle that will ensure these acquisition plans run smoothly. Integration is critical and a professional CRE capability can improve the speed, efficiency and effectiveness of the process. It can also ensure commonality across quality standards, company brand and values, working styles, and let's not forget- the people.
Global M&A activity hit a new high in 2015 and 2016 maintained this with more global mega deals recorded. The 2017 outlook doesn't show any sign of this activity decreasing. This forecast is underpinned by healthier corporate balance sheets, renewed confidence and attractive financing conditions, CRE may expect a boost in M&A activity, posing the opportunity to maximise the value of real estate throughout the M&A process. Technology and sophisticated data analysis definitely underpins the M&A process. It is the key to unlocking better value and determining likely success, and is essential to the due diligence process. With strong CRE-based analytical insight you can make the right decision to buy, sell or merge.
I will be attending the CoreNet Global Summit in Amsterdam from 14-16 September 2016. This year's theme is "The Bigger Picture". I look forward to attending the joint JLL and client presentation on the 16th: M&A – A Big Deal for Corporate Real Estate!

I'm back in Toronto, but I won't be heading over to the Dome tonight. I'm hitting the road again in a few days for the playoffs, so I figured I'd take this night off to have a nice evening out with the misses. So, my trusty associate Gregor will be fillin' in for me on jays.com
How about these playoffs races? It looks like a safe bet that Boston is going to wrap up the East title, barring some Mets-like collapse. But the league's best record is still up for grabs, which is reeking havok on postseason schedule plans. But at least it's decided who is in for the American League.
I don't think anyone wants to clinch ANYTHING in the National League. Well, the Rockies sure do, winning 11 in a row. Nice timing, huh? I listened to the Rox-Dodgers game last night on the radio and, I've got to say, I'd love to see them sneak in to the dance. That'll be a big season-ending series with the D-backs, who still have the West and the NL's best record in their sights.
When the season ends, I'll also be posting my picks for the award winners in both leagues. The AL Rookie of the Year, AL Cy Young, NL Rookie of the Year, and NL MVP have quite the collection of candidates. The others seem pretty straight forward, if you ask me. I'm sure you guys can debate me on that.
As for those Jays, they're back in Toronto to wrap up this rocky 2007 season. Probables for the Blue Birds for the three games are RHP Dustin McGowan, RHP Jesse Litsch and RHP A.J. Burnett. Don't expect Doc to take the ball on Sunday, even though he said he'd love to. On Saturday, the Jays are set to officially announce the coaching changes.
Not sure where I sit on dismissing hitting coach Mickey Brantley. Working with a injury-riddled roster this season certainly didn't help his situation, though the offensive numbers were flat-out horrendous. He's saying the explanation he was given was that the players "aren't responding to him." From talking to a lot of the players, you're hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't have praise for Brantley's efforts. But, no one ever said this game was fair…
I'll be back at the blog on Saturday…
BREAKING EVEN…Toronto needs just one win over its final three games to finish the season above .500.

My awards are
R.O.Y.—A.L. Delmon Young–leads most rookies in all offensive categories, Pedroia will be right there. Personally I think Pedroia will win the award because he played in the Boston market!!!
Cy Young Josh Beckett over Sabathia.
M.V.P.—Come on now, do I even have to write his name. Let's say he'll be running around 3rd base and say " mine" and he is talking about the M.V.P.
Manager of the Year—Eric Wedge!!!
N.L.–Does anyone really care about the N.L.????
Roy-Definately Delmon Young over Petrolia, Young has the HR's and RBI's.
Cy Young-Beckett
MVP-One of the few years, I think, were 100% of the votes will go to the "mine" guy.
MOTY-Eric Wedge
National League
ROY-Troy Tulowitzki-now this is the short stop I wish we had-no offense JMac.
Cy Young-Jake Peavy
MVP-Prince Fielder or Matt Holliday-as a Blue Jays fan, I hope Fielder wins
MOTY-Clint Hurdle or Lou Pinella
I believe several postings ago I said Jays need to learn to play more small ball and I got a lot of flack for it . Now I read, several bloggers think the Jays need to learn to play more small ball …..hmmmmmmm , men are so fickle …..lol….GO JAYSSSSSSSSSSS.
I think Brantley is being used as a scapegoat . Unfortunately somebody always has to pay the price for a bad season and Brantley got hung out to dry . The offence was poor , too many injuries that certainly weren't his fault .
Just goes to show how powerfull a woman's influence is!
Besides we all thought if we posted like that-itd bring you back to the site.
That all it took was to get Indigo back was to mention " small ball "….
I don't know about Brantley whether he was any good or not.
It botherd me a bit though when Lyle Overbea gave Wells information on what he was doing wrong instead of Brantley.
On the other hand it bothered me more that Sal Fasano is the one who fixed Halliday and Marcum.
So who knows.
I would say for manager of the year in the N.L. would have to be Manny Acta.
Whoever can get the Nats to win any games is a genius in my mind!!!
Bosox-good luck tonight
well look how Hurdle has the Rockies playing
Have a good evening all
Behind every good man is a better woman ………..lol
I heard the Nats had fans in the parking lot trying out. There pitching is perhaps the worst I have ever seen.
I'm joking when I say Manny Acta as manager of the year.
I would lean towards Charlie Manuel.
Phillies have been banged up all year and there pen is almost toast but somehow they could win the division. Great job by Manuel.
Fielder has had a huge month in September. He is carrying his team.
Matt Holiday the best player that nobody hears of.
B.J. Upton would be on that list as well.
Question for Bosox:
What do you think about Buchholtz being shut down?
I think it's BS, Theo want's to coddle him and doesn't want there to be blamed if the Sox don't win the WS.
Now if they don't win it's "What if Buchholtz was healthy" as opposed to "What if Theo wasn't babying the kid".
I think Fielder is the youngest (at 23) to ever hit 50 home runs in a season. Im gaine how many he'll put on the board if he continues like this and stays healthy.
Could be the first non drugy hope to break the HR record.
It likely will get down to either Manuel, Pinella or Hurdle.
By the way nice win tonight by the Sox.
I think Francona was quite clear in the release, when he said that shutting Buckholz down was not the option he was hoping for.
I don't see any reason for him to lie.
Well, I'm sure after the season he's having this year, a lot of people will know Matt Holiday. .339 Ba, 36 Hr's and 133 RBI's tend to get attention.
The reason to lie is that they're scared to let him keep pitching cause the little baby might get a boo-boo.
Well, what they said was he was suffering from arm fatigue-that's a good enough reason to shut him down.
So I'm not sure where you think they're lying!
I think they are lying. Arm fatigue, that is a easy way out. If it was arm fatigue, they would be very worried.
Sox are 90 feet away from there first division title in a longgggggggg time.
I don't think he has arm fatige. That's my point.
This is an organization that was going to pull the kid from a no hitter, I wouldn't put it past them to shut him down just because they think he's thrown too many innings this year.
The Mest lost and Philly won.
So pathetic.
If it wasn't so funny I'd feel bad for Delgado and Co.
Of course they're full of it!!!
You can't believe too many things in sports. Arm fatigue!!!
Theo went to Yale, he could have come up with something better!!
I don't understand why you think it's a problem if the management decided to shut him down for that reason.
Personally, I think that's good management, not bad.
But I don't think that's the reason, I do think they would have liked to have him in the post season. Look at their starters-they ain't what they were at the start of the season.
I was thinking about you. Mora puts down a bunt and the Orioles win.
We were just talking about that last night!!!
Congrats to Boston, but I'm cheering for Cleveland.
I would expect we'll see some changes in the Mets
There you go bunting is a big weapon-I wish we had it. lol
It's only a problem if you're trying to win.
Oh wait?
Buchholtz could help them win, but they aren't willing to take the risk.
Theo's chicken.
Hernandez then of the A's now with the Orioles. He bunted against Boston back in the A.L.D.S. game 1. Extra innings, 10th I believe and he put down a perfect bunt just like Mora did tonight and the A's won and the Sox were shocked!!! I was like, I can't believe what happened. What a way to lose. Of course the A's blew the series. Shocking!!!
lol-hey as I said last night, Id have Ortiz bunting if the situation is right. In the end it's about winning, not how many HR's are hit
we keep this up and we'll get Indigo back here.
By the way congratulations to The Sox…
Did you see Baltimore got 20 hits off Yanks pitching? 3 off of Rivera
Cleveland lose
So Bosox, you still have to win 1 more or Cleveland need to lose one in order for you to have the best record.
I really don't care if Boston ends up with the best record. If they do that's nice. Winning the division was vital. They had a huge lead all year and you couldn't go into the playoffs as a wildcard. They led N.Y. by 14.5 games on May 29th.
Personally I think the Yankees will beat the Tribe and the Sox will take out the Angels. In that scenario, Boston has home field advantage anyway!!!
I'm not sure the Yanks will beat Cleveland, and I hope they don't. Cleveland has good starting pitching and home field atvantage which tends to make the difference is a short series.
Yankees will make there 2 top starters work for it. If Paul Byrd pitches at Yankee Stadium in game 3 or game 4, he will get smoked.
Yankees have the edge in the bullpen. Yankees bats will be alive and well. Not much experience on the Tribe roster. That to me is huge for the Yankees, they have seen it all.
Sox will take out the Angels. Lackey gets smacked around at Fenway. Beckett and Schilling going in the first 2 games. Dice K looked very sharp last night. If Boston has 3 starters that do well, they will be one tough team to beat. Papelbon awaits at the end!!

Feinstein floats assault weapons ban
Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Thursday rolled out a controversial piece of gun control legislation, a ban on assault weapons similar to the one that expired in 2004.
With stricter definitions of an "assault weapon," Feinstein is pushing to make the manufacture or sale of new guns illegal.
Story Continued Below
"If anyone asked today can you win this, the answer is we don't know, it's so uphill," Feinstein said. "We can win this, but it depends on America and it depends on the courage of Americans."
( PHOTOS: Will these guns be banned again?)
The proposal is already receiving pushback from some senators and the likelihood of it being passed by both chambers is deemed slim by supporters and opponents alike.
The ban is part of a slew of legislation introduced in the aftermath of the shootings in Newtown, Conn. and recommended by President Barack Obama. But even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has expressed doubt that the assault weapon ban could be approved by the Senate.
( PHOTOS: Hollywood and guns: A love story)
In an emotional press conference on Thursday, a number of Democratic members of Congress spoke in favor of the legislation, echoed by victims of previous mass shootings.
"These massacres don't seem to stop, they continue on," Feinstein said, with three display boards covered in assault weapons at her side. "Each gunman used a semi-automatic assault weapon or large-capacity magazine."
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) argued that limitations on assault weapons were well within the powers of Congress, likening assault weapons to screaming fire in a crowded movie theater.
"It comes down to this: Assault weapons were designed for and should be used on our battlefields, not on our streets," Schumer said. He added, "There is no inalienable right to own and operate 100-round clips on AR-15 assault rifles."
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), who represented Newtown, Conn. as a member of the House, made an emotional appeal for the ban.
"Kids would be alive today if the law we are proposing today was in place," Murphy said.
Rep. Elizabeth Esty (D-Conn.) told the story of a victim in the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting who called her husband minutes before to say the gunman was headed her direction.
"What does it take? What does it take for us as a nation to act?" Esty said. "I hope, I pray and I believe that this horror in the little town of Newtown, Conn. is our wake-up call. It is our call as Americans to act and to act now to save lives."
( PHOTOS: Stars call for gun control)
After the politicians spoke, a procession of shooting victims, from Tucson, Ariz., to Virginia Tech took the microphone to tell their stories and advocate for the law.
The unveiling of the assault weapons ban also drew quick opposition.
"Senator Feinstein has been trying to ban guns from law-abiding citizens for decades," the National Rifle Association said in a statement. "It's disappointing but not surprising that she is once again focused on curtailing the Constitution instead of prosecuting criminals or fixing our broken mental health system."

Vegetable passions of the next president
If you saw the front page of The Denver Post yesterday, you know that Coloradans — and most Americans — have gone mad, totally bonkers, for food gardening. Sales of fruit trees and vegetable seeds, subscriptions to CSAs and community gardens, calls to extension agents for gardening information — all have gone through the greenhouse roof this spring. (To read more, click here.)
Well, thought Roger Doiron, why shouldn't the next Eater in Chief have access to the same local, fresh, organically grown produce his citizens are lining up to grow? Doiron, founder of Kitchen Gardeners International, called his campaign "Eat the View" and is signing up folks here to urge the next president — whoever it is — to set an example of sustainability and honor White House tradition by planting a food garden. Doiron's not some green, counterculture, anti-political uber-left fringie; he's a married father of three. Here he is, walking his talk on the front lawn of his own white house in Maine:
I checked in with Roger while doing interviews for the Post's Wednesday page-one story.
DI: How did you come up with the idea for Eat the View?
Doiron: It's something I've sort of fantasized about while working on sustainability issues for years. And I have the privilege to work with Rose Hayden-Smith, a garden historian, and she got me thinking about the Victory gardens during the early half of the last century. One of the first things John Quincy Adams, when he moved into the White House in 1800, was plant a vegetable garden. And we're looking at a changed economy, with and $4-a-gallon gas. Suddenly, this idea, which might have been discarded at another time in our history, doesn't sound as weird or wacko as it might have before. This made sense in the past, and suddenly it makes sense again.
DI: How do you see this happening?
Doiron: Only if a lot of different people embrace it. We're talking about this as a producing garden on the White House lawn, with some of the produce going into the White House Kitchen. But there should also be some kind of outreach into the Washington, D.C. community, with, say, half of the produce going to a local food bank. We're facing a trend toward incredible urbanization, and we need to think about how we're going to live with that. Urban agriculture is going to play a larger role in the future than it ever has before.
DI: And this would be an organic garden?
Doiron: Why not set that as our objective? We have to set the bar high. I have yet to meet someone who's all charged up about gardening and wants to use a lot of fossil fuels and chemicals to do it. I can't imagine the Obama or the McCain family saying, "Let's do this using chemicals." This hearkens back to what groundbreaking chef Alice Waters called "The delicious revolution." Well, it's all well and good for the Alice Waters of this world to be eating this way — fresh and organic and local — but we need to be thinking about how to bring the delicious revolution to a broader population.
DI: You see this as a nonpartisan thing.
Doiron: What I think is important about the idea is that it really grabs people. It has the potential to do what all candidates say they want to do, which is appeal across boundaries. And I know that it's possible, because I happen to live in my own little white house. We're managing to meet half of our vegetable needs on a third of an acre in Maine, which doesn't have an ideal climate. With eight full-time gardeners on 18 acres, imagine what the White House could do.
DI: What's next for your website, Kitchen Gardeners International?
Doiron: It started with a single web page in 2003. It's evolved into a network of 6,000 gardeners from 100 countries. We're now finding ore ways to bring people in, and we've added a social networking aspect to bring more voices in. That's what I'm trying for in my life, is connecting the dots. We've had a video about making strawberry jam, then a book review, we've got instructional info, and food for thought. We want to inspire people to be involved in the process of food. To have you be able to say, "I can do some of this myself."
This lifts some of the pessimism about the food supply. It shifts the conversation. We're not talking about suddenly doing without; that's what scares people. We're not talking about scarcity; we're talking about abundance. I'm seeing abundance now, in little potato plants in my garden.

The anterior approach for
scoliosis surgery is done through an incision made in
the front or, more commonly, the side of the body. The anterior approach may be
used for middle or lower spinal curves.
This technique is better for severe curves, including rigid curves in
adults. But it has greater surgical risks than posterior surgery alone. Surgeons
often use both the anterior and posterior approaches when they operate on a
person who has scoliosis. Using this combination of techniques, surgeons can
remove discs in the spine and graft bone into the spaces. This is done to help
make the spine more correctable.
Other techniques done with an anterior approach use large metal
screws that are attached to each vertebra. Each screw has a large head with a
hole for the passage of a rod that is tightened at each level. A brace or cast
may be needed for about 6 months following surgery. This technique is not
recommended for children younger than 10 years because of the small size of
their vertebrae.
A new technique known as endoscopic spine surgery is being developed
and used. This involves making several small incisions in the chest or abdomen
and inserting a video scope and narrow instruments to operate. This method may
cause less discomfort and allow for a quicker recovery and a shorter hospital

The first lawsuit has been filed in the wake of the crippled Carnival Triumph cruise that left thousands of passengers in miserable conditions for days.
Texas resident Cassie Terry sued Carnival Corp. on Friday in Miami federal court. The suit seeks unspecified damages, saying Terry feared for her life or that she might suffer serious injury or illness because of the presence of raw sewage and spoiled food.
Carnival cruise ship tickets require that all lawsuits be filed in Miami. Maritime attorneys say it's difficult but not impossible to win a case unless the plaintiff can show actual injury or illness.
Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen said the company hadn't seen the suit and was not in position to comment. The Triumph was disabled Sunday by an engine fire.
Before the incident, the ship had earned high marks on its most recent inspection report issued by the Centers for Disease Control in July 2012. The Triumph scored a 96 out of 100 points in the agency's "Inspection Detail Report," available online via searchable database.

For all intents and purposes the MDX should be considered Acura's flagship vehicle in the US. Although Acura officially claims the RL sedan holds that position, the MDX consistently outsells it here in America, no doubt because it was designed for our country – and our once blazing premium SUV market. While that segment has cooled considerably in recent years, the trend towards smaller, higher efficiency SUVs creates the perfect opportunity for the redesigned MDX.
In 2010, MDX received a thorough revision to its powertrain that resulted in improved performance at the track and fuel pump. Clad in sharp, polarizing sheet metal, and graced with a rich, button-laden interior, it's no surprise the MDX drives more like a car than a traditional SUV. Although it has Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system, this three row SUV is suited for suburban exploration and only occasional off-road excursions.
It may lack V-8 power, serious towing and off-road ability, but this is by design. Acura is betting on the MDX's sporty, high tech appeal to win over consumers.
Body style: Sport utility vehicle
Engine: 3.7L V-6
Transmission: 6-speed automatic
Models: MDX; MDX and Technology; MDX , Technology and Entertainment; MDX and Advance; MDX, Advance and Entertainment
MDX received a comprehensive revision in 2010 that included the addition of the brand's controversial front grille and a stealthy, but substantial powertrain revision. Given these upgrades, the 2011 MDX receives no major changes.
Now bearing Acura's controversial front grille, the stocky MDX looks even more stocky and edgy. The hood, front/rear facias, and side sills were also tweaked in 2010, with revised taillights added to the rear end.
Premium leather can found throughout, along with sharp-looking gauges and a thick sport steering wheel with paddle shifters. Numerous optional tech upgrades include real-time weather and traffic info, 8-inch nav-screen, and rear-view camera system.
The paddle shiftable 6-speed transmission makes the MDX fun to drive, particularly when paired with the 300-horsepower 3.7 L V-6 engine. MDX is surprisingly fast and easy to drive – revised power steering and chassis reinforcements in 2010 increase cornering prowess, as do retuned optional magneto rheological shocks. Full size, three row SUVs, don't drive much better than this.
The MDX features loads of active and passive safety systems, including dual stage driver and front passenger airbags and side curtain airbags for all three rows. Advance Package offers blind spot detection and automatic collision-mitigating braking system.
All: 16 mpg city/21 mpg highway
Serious player in polarizing style

Formal and Office Attire
Your most pressing style questions answered
How do I tell if a suit fits properly?
While the prevailing silhouette is as tight now as it ever has been, suits still have to fit - stretching and pulling remain unflattering even if a jacket is cut like a second skin. Ideally the jacket will be as wide, but no wider, than your shoulders, the collar will sit flat against your shirt collar, the back will fall in a fairly straight line from the shoulder blades, the armpits will be quite neat (because otherwise the jacket will restrict arm movement), the buttoning point will be on the same latitude as your belly button, there will be enough shape to give you a waist, and it'll be close - but not tight - around the stomach.
I'd like to buy a suit that I can wear to work and in the evening. Shall I buy a black one?
The only black suit a man truly needs is a dinner jacket, although many choose to wear black for day and night. Unless the invitation calls for a dinner jacket or tuxedo, there's nothing wrong with wearing a blue or grey suit in the evening. Basic colours take on a subtly different appearance in mohair fabric, which is just shiny enough to stand out at night.
I wear a suit to work every day but I've got a job interview at a firm where everyone dresses casually. What on earth should I wear?
It's more important to feel comfortable than to slavishly follow the dress code so, if the thought of casual clothes fills you with dread, stick with a suit and wear it well. However, if you do have time to prepare I'd consider some neat chinos, navy-blue socks, brown loafers, a white shirt and a blazer. A knitted tie is an optional extra; it'll improve the outfit without making it significantly more formal.
I want to buy a jacket, and it will be a while before I buy another. Is there anything else for it but to buy a blazer?
There is a reason that the navy single-breasted blazer is ubiquitous. It has rightly been described as the little black dress of the male wardrobe, and that metaphor hints at how varied blazers can be. It is best to overcome your misgivings by finding a modern one, without brass buttons or padded shoulders. An alternative, for the colder months, is a tweed jacket in a broad grey herringbone.
I see men in very short jackets. Should I emulate them?
Short is where we're at, and the man to thank or blame is the US designer Thom Browne. His clothes seemed outrageous when they first appeared, but his influence has been huge. Any man remotely interested in fashion will want to wear jackets (particularly blazers or tweed jackets) far shorter than tradition dictates. However, clothes shouldn't look shrunken, because that leaves men looking like overgrown schoolboys, or simply fat. Regardless of body shape, it's probably best that your backside is covered.
Will I look like the Prince of Wales if I wear a double-breasted jacket?
Yes, but only if you wear a big, loose, old-fashioned one. Double-breasted jackets are very stylish, and contemporary versions, which are neat in the body and relatively short, are extremely elegant and bear little relation to what HRH wears.
I am newly single and I want to update my wardrobe. What should I be looking for and what should I avoid, with a female audience in mind?
Do not try to reinvent yourself, because it will probably be unconvincing. Instead concentrate on updating the classics for a fresh and contemporary look. Jeans, shoes, shirts and suits mustn't look outdated or worn out. Few girls notice the intricacies of how a man dresses, but they are likely to notice your watch and your shoes; either can be taken as an indication of your income bracket, so make sure you're happy to be judged on them. And it's obvious, but make sure you reload your underwear drawer.
Double-breasted jackets and suits look cool, but how do I make one feel cool in summer?
A double-breasted jacket is going to be warmer than a single-breasted jacket in the same material, not least because you really have to wear it buttoned up. However, you can mitigate against the heat by choosing a fabric that breathes. Lightweight high-twist wools (sometimes known as fresco cloth) made into unlined, largely unstructured jackets will be the breeziest option. There is a cloth called Solaro, available only in a tan colour with a reddish background, that is said to reflect the sun's rays, which you might consider for a bespoke commission. It's good enough for some of the best-dressed men in Italy (Luca di Montezemolo, Matteo Marzotto, Lapo Elkann), so it's good enough for us.
How long are suit trousers meant to be?
Right now they feel right anywhere between the shin bone (although this needs careful thought, good socks and beautifully tapered trousers) and the top of the shoe with a maximum of one break in the fabric. Any longer than that and your trousers will 'puddle' on your shoes, which looks juvenile and scruffy and makes your legs look shorter.
Are turn-ups cool now? All the trendy types roll up their jeans, but how does this translate to suits?
This is up to you and your inside leg measurement. Turn-ups are a very personal thing but what is universal is the fact that they shorten the apparent length of the leg; shorter guys may want to consider this fact. And, traditionally, they make a suit less formal than it otherwise would be, which is why dinner-jacket trousers never have them.
I find it uncomfortable to wear a tie. Is it OK if I just ditch it?
There are times when going tieless will impede professional or social success so, before you dump the silk, ask yourself where the problem lies. Physical discomfort is most likely to be caused by a shirt collar that's too small. Or is it just that you don't like your ties: might a woollen tie, a bow tie or a knitted silk tie redefine the item? If you remain unconvinced, how about some kind of neckerchief or cravat? If, however, you are set on this course do think about your shirt, because an open collar needs to stand up to look right.
I have to wear conservative clothes to the office but I like the idea of injecting some colour into my outfits. Where do I start?
It is possible to inject a lot of colour into a professional outfit without flouting convention. For Brits it starts with solid-coloured socks - scarlet socks go well with a navy suit and black shoes - whereas on the Continent they prefer patterned socks. Shirts can also make a difference; even blue shirts can be striped or checked rather than just a plain colour. Ties come next, in stripes, big spots or gingham checks, and that's before you introduce a pocket square in a contrasting colour, or an eye-catching watchstrap.

There has been a lot of speculation in recent years on the Theatre Royal Cinemas on what was going to happen with them. I am glad that there is an active group that are trying hard to renovate and re-open the cinemas - It's such a shame that the building is in private hands though. Hyde could do with these re-opening as cinemas as you have to travel to Ashton to watch a film now.

It will be such a shame if this building is allowed to deteriorate to such a state that it has to be demolished.

Assessment of legal validity
You may be entitled to receive up to €600.00 per person.
European Union airlines must pay compensation for delayed flights unless the delay was caused by circumstances beyond their control, the bloc's highest court said.
Travellers should be recompensed for delays of more than three hours, the European Union Court of Justice ruled on Tuesday, reaffirming a right established three years ago in a case involving Air France.
The ECJ was ruling in one case involving German carrier Lufthansa and a second involving British Airways , easyJet, TUI Travel and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Passengers on flights operated by EU airlines starting or ending in the 27-nation grouping are entitled to 250-600 euros ($A315-$A764) for delays or cancellations under EU rules.
"The Court of Justice has confirmed its previous ruling that passengers whose flights have been delayed for a long time may be compensated," it said. It did not say what circumstances leading to a delay might be beyond an airine's control.
The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) said the EU's executive arm should do more to reinforce passenger rights.
"In the long run, the European Commission needs to set this and similar recent judgments in stone in its ongoing review of the regulation," said BEUC Director General Monique Goyens, referring to the 2004 EU rules.
"Keyhole surgery is needed, not dramatic reform. The main challenge is enforcing what already exists. They also need to withstand what is quite robust industry pressure to dilute the law."
Raymond Veldkamp, the owner of Flight Delayed which helps consumers seek compensation from airlines: said "We do not expect the ruling would make it any easier for passengers to get money from the airlines when their flights are delayed.
"Most of the time, passengers get fobbed off with vouchers for a free meal or a refreshment. While in reality they are legally entitled to a much higher compensation."
In the Lufthansa case, passengers sued the airline for compensation in a German court after a flight delay of more than 24 hours. Judges subsequently sought advice from the ECJ.
In the second case, British Airways, easyJet, TUI Travel and IATA, challenged Britain's Civil Aviation Authority after it rejected their request to be exempted from paying for flight delays. British judges also asked the ECJ for guidance.
Earlier this month, the ECJ told airlines to compensate travellers bumped off flights because of strikes, saying that was not a good enough excuse not to pay up.
Very fast and professional, got my claim just over a month but then again the airline did tell us we can claim and gave us leaflets.
Really simple to use, and didn't take very long for my claim to be processed.
I wasn't very optimistic about using this service, but the from the outset the communication was excellent and the instructions were clear. The claim is all handled via email and the online service portal. The team are very quick to answer any questions you have while the airline is assessing your claim. In my case, I was awarded 225 Euros compensation, better than nothing and so glad I took the time and effort to get this money back! Thank you Flight-Delayed for your fantastic service.
Very good service claiming a compensate after a long delay from airline and we got the out compensate. Thank you very much ...
Successful claim against Jet 2 ! Took a while (4yrs) but glad to finally won !!
This company provide a very fast and efficient service with no fuss and they took a fair amount of commission with no extra hidden charges. Extremely pleased with them.
i have had great help with the flight delayed trip thankyou very much to u and team
Very good Service for claming Money from Airline companies if you had a Problem like more than 3hrs delay, cancellations without reason. For my case, Airline rejected my Claim via customer Service but after i used this site it took only 4 weeks from Claim to confirmation for compensation. it's very easy to fill out the form to Claim and they answer/help right away. you should try with this even though Airline already refused to pay you with several reason.
It's taken 12 months to extract compensation from Ryanair, purely down to the pathetic customer service on the part of the Irish Airline. Will never use them again as they use every tactic in the book not to pay out, and even though they have now settled conversation rate 1.40, as opposed to commercial rate of 1,31. Many thanks to Flight-Delayed for their excellent support. Well worth 25% cut to get justice done. Highly recommended.
Just over three hours delay last year to Crete contacted this company, they sorted the claim and with in a few weeks Monet transferred into my account. fantastic service. Thank you
Didn't expect result But cash son it's way to.me. Thank you. Great company
What an excellent service , after trying for almost a year to claim compensation for a 5 hour delay in which we were kept inside the cabin with nothing to eat or drink i contacted this company and within 6 weeks I have recieved full compensation minus their 25% which I am happy to pay as I had given up. thanks again to the staff for all your communication and work to complete this. cannot recommend you enough
Just got our cempensation thanks to the team at flight delay very easy process, kept informed as to how the claim was going
Very good service to use for claiming money from the airline companies due to a long delays or cancellations for no reason or no explanation! I had no idea it is even possible, but I filled their forms and did not need to pay a thing for it. They claimed 800 euros for 2 passengers and all they took was their commission fee from the claimed price for their work which is the way it should be. They managed to get the money within a month or so.
My plane was delayed for over seven hours on a UK flight from Newquay to Manchester. I contacted Flight Delay and they quickly completed my claim without any fuss. I have received £195.62 minus a 25% charge, I actually received £145.07. All this took approx 5 weeks from beginning of claim to having payment into bank. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and thank you flight-delayed
Ryanair left us delayed at Knock Airport for over 4 hours. Not just inconvenient but annoyingly cost us an extra £23 airport parking which we could not reclaim. Although not a "serial complainer", saw the Flight Delayed Website and thought "why not?". So glad I did. Efficient and professional organisation that made it an easy process resulting in €300 for us and €100 for them and a "heads up" for Ryanair. Perfect.
What a nice surprise, cheque for delayed flight dropped through the letterbox. Asked flight delayed to do the work for me and a few emails and a few months later I received the cheque for over £600. Minus their 25% which I do not begrudge as if they hadn't done the work for me I would never have got anything. Also thanks to Martin Lewis for making me aware I could claim. Thanks delayed flights I will certainly recommend you.
Very helpful, I got a lot back. I also hope anybody who ever got flight delayed, don't lose your right! It didn't take me a lot of effort to submit the materials, they can help you.
Great service, very easy process and friendly team to deal with - answered questions quickly and through the online tool I was able to track the progress of our claim. Everything has been handled really well and I would happily recommend the Flight-Delayed team to help you with your claim.
My plane was over three hours late getting back to Manchester due to delays. I contacted Flight Delay and they got me £199 (minus 25% for their fee) for the delay. It took less than an hours work from me to fill out a form and give them my power of attorney. Six weeks later it was all sorted. Highly recommended!

Today: Tesla again establishes an all-time high closing price, though prices fall in late trading after much-hyped announcement turns out to be new financing model. Also: Goldman Sachs research notes are negative on Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), so-so on Apple (AAPL); stocks gain overall.
Tesla hits another record high, but shares dip after announcement
Tesla closed at an all-time high for the second consecutive trading session Tuesday and kept attention squarely on itself with an announcement after Wall Street closed for the day. Shares slipped in after-hours trading, however, after the announcement turned out to be a new financing model, an offering that didn't seem to live up to the week-plus of hype dating back to CEO Elon Musk's tweet teasing the event.
Tesla established record intraday and closing prices Monday after Musk announced that the company had completed its first profitable quarter thanks to increased Model S production. On Tuesday, Tesla did not manage to reach Monday's all-time intraday high of $46.68, but the Palo Alto electric car maker's share established a new all-time closing high of $44.34 thanks to a gain of 0.9 percent.
Monday's bump added to increases that began the week before, when Musk said on Twitter that he would be making a big announcement, which was eventually delayed until Tuesday. For many investors, however, the announcement of profitability was more exciting than what Musk eventually disclosed Tuesday: A new financing model that resembles a lease but allows consumers to eventually own a Model S.
"We want to eliminate the uncertainty" of owning an electric car, Musk said in explaining the new effort during a conference call Tuesday. Tesla will tie the resale value of its all-electric sedans to the popular Mercedes-Benz S Class line of automobiles, with Musk guaranteeing the value of the cars with his own cash.
Basically, Tesla will be loaning the sale amount to the buyer, who can sell the car back to Tesla at the end of three years, or pay off the remaining debt during the next two years to own the car. Unlike a lease, consumers have full rights to sell the car during that time as long as they pay off the remaining principal.
"When considering the savings from using electricity instead of gasoline, depreciation benefits and other factors, the true net out-of-pocket cost to own a midrange Model S drops to less than $500 per month," Tesla said in a news release, though doubts about those figures were immediately rampant.
Musk said he got the idea for the lease arrangement from Redwood City solar installer SolarCity, which was founded by his cousins and for which Musk serves as chairman. Musk said the SolarCity offerings have helped the company reach new customers, and "I anticipate a similar effect with Tesla."
Investors must not have that same vision, as shares fell as low as $43.20, a 2.6 percent decline, during the conference call, which ended about 2:45 p.m. Pacific time.
HP falls, Apple treads water after Goldman notes target Silicon Valley
Hewlett-Packard received a dose of reality from Goldman Sachs on Tuesday, with the investment bank downgrading the Palo Alto tech giant's stock to a "sell," sending shares down after a hot first quarter that saw HP stock gain 67.3 percent.
HP fell 5.2 percent to close at $22.10, its lowest closing price since mid-March, after a research note threw cold water on optimism that sparked the first-quarter turnaround. The note contended that Wall Street was giving too much credit to the turnaround plan authored by CEO Meg Whitman, which is far from being termed successful.
Investors are "attributing an unreasonably high probability to the turnaround's success and incorrectly assuming fundamentals have already bottomed," analysts wrote.
Apple also faced Goldman's sword, but it did not cut the Cupertino company as deeply. Goldman took Apple off its "Conviction List," which names the stocks Goldman has the strongest sentiment about, for the first time since December 2010. Analyst Bill Shope wrote that Apple's iPhone 5 sales were lower than he expected, leading to the change.
Goldman still suggests investors buy Apple, however, despite dropping its price target from $660 to $575.
"Even with the investor concerns that have mounted as of late," analyst Bill Shope wrote, "we believe most agree that the company has brighter secular prospects than typical value tech names," including Santa Clara chipmaker Intel (INTC) and Redwood City software giant Oracle (ORCL).
Apple stock traded close to flat Tuesday, gaining 0.2 percent to close at $429.90. That trading session could be deemed a success following three straight declines of at least 2 percent, capped by the company's 3.1 percent descent Monday after CEO Tim Cook apologized to Chinese customers for its warranty policy, which seemed to defrost tensions in the country. Apple stayed behind Exxon in the battle for highest market capitalization in the United States, a title the tech giant lost on Monday.
Google and Yahoo gain, Zynga and EA fall in good day for Wall Street
Stocks bounced back with an overall gain Tuesday, with all three major U.S. indexes advancing 0.5 percent or more. Silicon Valley stocks were not as successful, but did advance, with the SV150 index of the region's top technology firms gaining 0.3 percent.
Google (GOOG) had a strong day despite news that six European countries had ganged up to decide penalties for the company's privacy policy, which was revamped more than a year ago; the Mountain View search giant gained 1.5 percent to close at $813.04. Yahoo (YHOO), which battles Google in the digital-advertising realm, again hit its highest prices since 2008 as a report suggested it could bid for mobile rights to NFL games; the Sunnyvale company gained 1.2 percent to close at $23.78. Cisco (CSCO) (up 1.9 percent), Adobe (ADBE) (up 1.1 percent) and Oracle (up 1 percent) also gained on the day.
On the negative side, Zynga slid 2.9 percent to $3.07 after executive Dan Porter — who led "Draw Something" creator OMGPop before it was acquired by Zynga — left the San Francisco social-gaming leader. Redwood City rival Electronic Arts (ERTS) did not perform much better, dropping 2.1 percent to $17.55 as it continues to search for a replacement CEO after the announced departure of John Riccitiello. Some of Silicon Valley to performers in the first quarter — a list that also included HP and Zynga — struggled Tuesday, with Netflix (NFLX) declining 3.2 percent, SunPower (SPWRA) dropping 4 percent and LinkedIn declining 0.5 percent.
Silicon Valley tech stocks
Up: NetApp, Cisco, Google, Yahoo, Adobe, Oracle, Tesla, Symantec, eBay (EBAY), Workday, Gilead, Intuit (INTU), Apple, Intel
Down: HP, SunPower, Netflix, Zynga, EA, Advanced Micro Devices, SolarCity, Juniper, Nvidia, Applied Materials, Palo Alto Networks, Splunk, VMware, LinkedIn, Yelp, Facebook
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Up 15.69, or 0.48 percent, to 3,254.86
The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Up 89.16, or 0.61 percent, to 14,662.01
And the widely watched Standard & Poor's 500 index: Up 8.08, or 0.52 percent, to 1,570.25

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard baseball team received two superb starting pitching efforts on Sunday against Dartmouth but the Big Green closed out the regular season with two wins against the Crimson by scores of 3-1 and 10-8 at O'Donnell Field.
Dartmouth (28-10, 14-6 Ivy), the Red Rolfe Division champs, will travel to Princeton (15-5 Ivy) next weekend for the Ivy League Championship Series for the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
In the opener, junior lefty Brent Suter overpowered Dartmouth batters to the tune of 11 strikeouts in the seven-inning game. Still, the Big Green took a 1-0 lead in an ugly first inning that saw Harvard commit three errors. A pair of clutch hits to center field in the second and fourth inning plated runs to account for the last two runs before Suter retired six of the final eight outs via strikeout.
All told, Dartmouth tallied seven hits.
Harvard was held to four hits and scored its run in the third on a single to center by Jeff Reynolds.
In game two, Ben Sestanovich was dazzling as he struck out five straight batters at one point and struck out the side in the second and fourth innings with eight punch outs through four. Dartmouth's lone hit was a wind-blown homer by Chris O'Dowd in the fourth.
Harvard scored runs in each of the first six innings; Reynolds had a long RBI double in the first; Tyler Albright had a two-run double to the wall in left in the second; Sean O'Hara unloaded a mammoth homer in the fourth; and Cole Arledge plated a run in the fifth and Jack Colton laced a two-run homer in the sixth.
Harvard took a seemingly commanding 6-1 lead into the sixth inning but a tiring Sestanovich was undone by a walk, error, 11-pitch walk and a seeing-eye single to right. The single made the score 6-3 and forced Sestanovich from the game.
Harvard's Dan Berardo got out of the jam after allowing a fourth run on a sacrifice fly but the bullpen provided little relief as Dartmouth scored five times in the seventh on four singles, a walk and two hit batsmen with the bases loaded. A solo homer by Joe Sclafani in the eighth accounted for the final margin.
Needing to win the game to have a chance at home field advantage in the playoffs, Dartmouth turned to closer Ryan Smith in the sixth inning with the Big Green trailing, 6-4. Smith was greeted by Colton, who took the first pitch he saw over the left field fence but was otherwise masterful, scattering two hits in 3.2 innings with no walks and two strikeouts to earn the win.
O'Hara and Marcus Way (2-2, HBP) were the lone Harvard player with two this in the game but the Crimson banged out 10 hits in recording the lone double digit hit outing for either team in the series.

"A Call to Compassion" will include an interfaith prayer vigil on Sept. 11th. It will feature the dean of the Cathedral, the Bishop of Washington, a rabbi, Buddhist nun and incarnate lama, a Hindu priest, the president of the Islamic Society of North America and a Muslim musician.

However, Southern Baptists, representing the nation's largest Protestant denomination, were not invited to participate - and neither were leaders from any evangelical Christian organization.
"It's not surprising," said Frank Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee. "There is a tragic intolerance toward Protestants and particularly toward evangelicals and I wish the president would refuse to speak unless it was more representative."
Richard Weinberg, the Cathedral's director of communications, confirmed that Southern Baptists were not extended an invitation to participate.
"The goal was to have interfaith representation," he told Fox News Radio. "The Cathedral itself is an Episcopal church and it stands to reason that our own clergy serve as Christian representatives."
He said the Washington National Cathedral serves as the "spiritual home for the nation" and as such, he said that "diversity was first and foremost" a factor in the planning.
"We certainly aim to appeal to as many in the country as possible and feel that our events are not any one slice that could ever represent the entire country -- but that we are doing our best commemorate the events as it fits with our mission," Weinberg said.
On Sunday night the Cathedral will host President Obama as he delivers remarks in a program called, "A Concert of Hope." At least five faith leaders will deliver prayers but those individuals have not been identified.
Weinberg said the president's event will be a "secular service," but said given the setting it will include an interfaith benediction.
Page said President Obama should cancel his appearance at the Cathedral.
"I think it would send a very strong and very positive signal to the left wing extremists in our country that the president ought not show up," Page said, calling their exclusion "purposeful."
The White House referred questions about the services to the Cathedral.
"First and foremost, the breadth of the programming aims to honor those who were most affected by the tragedy of 9-11," Weinberg said. "We also recognize as a Cathedral that this country has been engaged in two wars abroad and many, many service members, nearly six thousand, and of course that would count much more if we counted civilian lives lost."
"They are also a group that we want to keep in mind and lift up," he said.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told Fox News Radio the lineup was better suited for the United Nations than the United States.
"Three quarters of the American people identify as Christian and nearly a third of them are evangelical Christian," Perkins said. "And yet, there is not a single evangelical on the program."
"There's no doubt that this is clearly politically correct," Perkins told Fox News Radio. "It is historically inaccurate that in times of need or mourning that Americans pray to the Hindu or Buddhist Gods or the God of Islam. America is overtly a Christian nation that prays to the Judeo-Christian God - and specifically to Jesus Christ."
Page called political correctness the "elephant in the room."
"It is very clear that it is that it is not politically correct to include evangelical Christians," he said. "Obviously, tolerance is at work here. In a nation whose current God is tolerance, it is absolutely hypocritical that the major group to be excluded and be intolerant of - is evangelical Christians."

As of July 1 RV manufacturers who are selling into California should be purchasing hardwood plywood and composite core (HWPW-CC) that meets the .08 parts per million standard set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
They can, however, use HWPW-CC materials that don't meet CARB standards providing RVs sold after Jan. 1, 2011, have CARB-certified HWPW-CC materials.
"This is the sell-through period," said Bruce Hopkins, vice president of standards and education for the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA). "Manufacturers should be bringing in wood that is certified as soon as possible and selling the units that aren't certified by Jan. 1, 2011."
After that, all HWPW-CC material used to build RVs will need to be certified by an independent agency as meeting CARB requirements.
Although there are no federal standards for formaldehyde levels in RVs, RVIA last year adopted CARB formaldehyde standards as a membership requirement.
RVIA adopted CARB standards following a controversy involving travel trailers used in 2005 to house victims of the Gulf Coast hurricanes. A number of lawsuits are pending in federal court in Louisiana against RV builders by people who complained about health problems after extended stays in the trailers.
RVIA is treating California's strict new law as a national standard because the state is the nation's largest consumer of RVs. Trailers sold in all 50 states need to comply with the standards.
When fully implemented, manufacturers will be required to affix a label on their units certifying that they comply with CARB standards and that all contents, such as furniture and cabinets, also are compliant.
Manufacturers also are required to keep documentation on all wood products they buy and sell for at least two years in the event that CARB subsequently discovers any violation during its testing process, which begins at the retail level on dealers' lots.

A stroke off the pace heading into the final round, American Mahan sparked his sizzling run by knocking in a five-footer at the par-four 11th and effectively sealed the win at the par-five 17th, where he sank a slick 22-foot putt from above the hole.
He could afford the luxury of a bogey at the last, after pushing his tee shot into a tree line, chipping out and missing the green with his third, as he closed with a six-under-par 65 at Ridgewood Country Club to post a 14-under total of 270.
Stuart Appleby also signed off with a 65 in the opener of the PGA Tour's four-event FedExCup playoffs, finishing joint second at 12 under with fellow Australian Jason Day (68) and American Cameron Tringale (66).
Veteran American Jim Furyk, co-leader after the third round with Day, mixed five birdies with four bogeys on the way to a 70 as he slipped back into solo eighth place at 10 under.
Mahan, who was congratulated on the edge of the 18th green by his wife Kandi and daughter Zoe Olivia, was thrilled to clinch his first playoff event and end a title drought dating back to the 2012 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
"I haven't played my best this year so to get a win at an event like this, and the timing that it was (in the playoffs), feels unbelievable," a beaming Mahan told CBS Sports.
"I am extremely proud of myself right now. I've had some success the last couple of weeks, my game was starting to come around and I was making some putts, making some 20-footers, getting up and down here and there.
"I knew this was around the corner but to do it, and to do it today with a 65, feels great."
Mahan, whose previous best finish this season was a tie for fourth at the Phoenix Open in February, was taken aback by the unexpected but very welcome arrival at the course by his wife and daughter.
"It was great," smiled the 32-year-old American, who moved to the top of the FedExCup points standings with his victory on Sunday.
"There was a lot of going on in my head right there (on the 18th green), and I never thought they would be there but it's always great to see them. They make every day a little bit better."
Tringale, who last week disqualified himself from the PGA Championship for signing an incorrect scorecard, was in a buoyant mood after celebrating his 27th birthday on Sunday by shooting a final-round 66.
"It was a lot of fun out there," the Californian said after recording his best finish on the PGA Tour. "Being my birthday, I was going to have a great day no matter what and that's been my attitude all week.
"I really didn't feel nervous out there, I just felt comfortable, like I was in control of what was going on."
Overnight pacesetters Day and Furyk duelled for the tournament lead on the front nine before Mahan, Appleby and Tringale made their moves as prime contenders after the turn.
As both Day and Furyk faltered, Mahan was the first player to reach 13 under, sinking a 10-foot birdie putt at the par-three 15th, before birthday boy Tringale drew level by knocking in a six-footer to birdie the par-five 17th.
A superb approach by Mahan to three feet at the 16th set up his sixth birdie of the day and the tournament was all but over when he coaxed in his 22-footer on the 17th green.
Northern Irish world number one Rory McIlroy, who arrived here on a sizzling three-tournament winning streak that included major triumphs at the British Open and PGA Championship, ended his week with a 70 for a five-under total of 279.
Second-ranked Australian Adam Scott, who had been tied for the second-round lead at Ridgewood, finished at seven under after closing with a 68.
The top 100 players on the FedExCup points list after The Barclays qualify for next week's Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston where the leading 70 will advance to the Sep. 4-7 BMW Championship.

Inquiry Question
Reading 3: Aircraft Delivery Unit and Naval Air Ferry Command
Naval Air Station New York (Floyd Bennett Field) was at the heart of the stunning transformation of U.S. industry from production of civilian automobiles and planes to unprecedented mass production of high-performance military aircraft. Navy personnel flew planes from nearby factories to the naval air station, tested them for flight-worthiness, fitted them out for service, commissioned them into the U.S. Navy, and finally ferried them out, typically to the West Coast, for service in Navy and Marine Corps units bound for fighting in the Pacific theater of war. Floyd Bennett Field became the busiest naval air station in the United States during World War II. Personnel worked tirelessly to make certain that the airfield functioned as an efficient hub rather than a bottleneck.
Prior to 1941, manufacturers of airplanes destined for service in the U.S. Navy tested the planes themselves. Former Floyd Bennett Field pilot Giles Gianelloni explained that fleet pilots were sent directly from their carrier or home base to the factory to fly the new aircraft back to their ship or base. When Floyd Bennett Field became a naval air station, instructor pilots would split their time between ground and air training during the mornings and in the afternoons flying newly-built aircraft from the factories back to the station until dark. The planes would be placed in Navy hangers until pilots from the fleet came to fly them away.
By October 1941, aircraft production had risen to such a level that these procedures were no longer effective, so in response the Navy organized specialized Aircraft Delivery Units (ADUs) near aircraft manufacturers.¹ Hangar 6 at Floyd Bennett Field was home to one of the ADUs; between October 1941 and November 1943 it commissioned 20,000 aircraft and logged 5.6 million air miles in ferry service. Nonetheless, toward the end of 1943, it became obvious that as ever larger numbers of aircraft rolled off the assembly lines the job of the ADUs was getting much too large to be a responsibility of individual air stations. The decision was made to put all naval ferry activities throughout the country under one command.
On December 1, 1943, the U.S. Navy established the Naval Air Ferry Command under the Naval Air Transport Service, and located its headquarters at Floyd Bennett Field (NAS New York ). For the next two years, the Naval Air Ferry Command at Floyd Bennett Field developed the ever-increasing naval air ferry operations nationwide into a smooth functioning part of the war effort. The existing functions of the New York ADU were transferred to a newly-formed Air Ferry Squadron One (VRF-1) and a new Aircraft Commissioning Unit. Under the control of the Naval Air Ferry Command, three operating bases were designated: NAS New York, home to VRF-1 and VRF-4; NAF Columbus (Ohio), where VRF-2 was based; and NAS Terminal Island (Los Angeles, CA), home to VRF-3. At Floyd Bennett Field, VRF-1 grew quickly to become the largest naval aviation squadron ever assembled. In March 1944, 1049 pilots were assigned to VRF-1, which was based in Hangars 9 and 10. A squadron of seaplane specialists, VRF-4, was formed and operated from Hangar B. During World War II a total of 100,000 new aircraft were commissioned into service and delivered to training bases and embarkation points by the combined efforts of all naval air ferry delivery units and squadrons.
From Floyd Bennett Field, ferry pilots flew to the aircraft factories in transport planes, picked up the newly-built planes, and flew them to the Field. After the aircraft were tested, accepted and commissioned at Floyd Bennett Field, ferry pilots delivered the majority of these newly-built aircraft to the West Coast. Normally, transcontinental flights were composed of three planes in V-formation. The main transcontinental ferry routes were laid out so that there would be airports or airfields where the planes could stop; these fields included ferry service units that specialized in providing ground support for the aircraft being ferried. The ferry pilots returned to the East Coast either on commercial flights or by flying battle-worn planes or new planes produced on the West Coast.
In order to track the whereabouts of individual pilots and aircraft, the ferry command divided the country into an eastern zone and a western zone (divided by the Mississippi River). Individual pilots were responsible for the safe and expeditious delivery of the aircraft and for keeping ferry command informed as to the progress of the flight. There were four ferry command pilot designations: follow pilots, single pilots, lead pilots and senior ferry pilots. The pilot designation as "follow, single, lead and senior ferry pilot" reflected increasing levels of experience measured in terms of ferry trips or flight hours and pilot qualification in various types of aircraft. Joseph O'Brien, VRF-1 Association President, reported that: "new pilots to the squadron had to make five cross country trips as follow pilots before qualifying as a single pilot."² Single pilots were qualified to ferry a plane alone. Will Carroll, a former VRF-1 Association President, in his VRF-1 Squadron Official History, outlines some of the many questions that pilots and flight leaders had to keep constantly in mind while on ferry flights: "Do I know the quantity of gas and oil aboard? Do I have all necessary charts? Do I know how to operate the radio gear in this plane? Do I know the order of take off and point of rendezvous, the altitude to be flown, the preferred power settings for cruising, fuel consumption, destination for this hop, the traffic pattern at the point of intended landing, the tower frequency, the system for numbering runways, field conditions, break up, approach and taxiing procedures?"³
An article in Naval Aviation News from 1944 described 29 different types of aircraft which pilots needed to know how to fly; although individual pilots were not qualified to fly all types of planes, ferry pilots had to be familiar with multiple engines, ground procedures and plane checkouts. Pilots came from diverse backgrounds, not only commercial airline pilots, barnstormers and skywriters, but even plane salesmen and lawyers. Naval Air Station New York, maintained a "Glory Board" in the ready room listing pilots who had completed five transcontinental flights without accident (signified by gold wings) or 25 transcontinental flights (signified by the squadron's insignia stork).
U.S. aircraft production doubled between 1942 and 1943 increasing the need for combat pilots and creating a tremendous shortage of pilots for both the Navy and the Army Air Force. Women aviators were called upon to help fill the gap. In September 1942, the first 25 members of the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (WAFS) were organized at the Army Air Base at Wilmington, Delaware; in 1943 it was integrated along with the Women's Flying Training Detachment into the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), headed by the same Jacqueline Cochrane who had established aviation speed records from Floyd Bennett Field. Together with their male counterparts in the Navy and Army Air Force they helped to deliver the nearly 275,000 aircraft assembled by U.S. manufacturers between the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the surrender of Japan in 1945.
The aviation war in the Pacific theatre of World War II was fought in large part by naval aviators and their aircraft. From Naval Air Station New York, VRF-1, VRF-4, and their predecessors ferried 46,000 aircraft, over 80 million air miles, between December 1941 and 1945. Notable among the aircraft tested and commissioned at Floyd Bennett Field was the Grumman F6F Hellcat, which finally bested the Mitsubishi Zero fighter, and is considered by many to be "the plane that won the war in the Pacific." The Grumman TBF Avenger was to become an effective torpedo bomber against Japanese aircraft carriers. Marine Corps aviators flew the Vought-Sikorsky F4U Corsair using it with great success as a fighter plane and to provide close air support for ground troops. The quality and quantity of U.S. aircraft eventually helped to turn the tide of battle: at Midway and the Coral Sea; during the island hopping campaigns through the Solomon, Gilbert, Caroline, Palau, and Mariana Islands; in the Battles for the Philippine Sea and the Leyte Gulf; and through bloody battles from Guadalcanal to Iwo Jima. Naval Air Station New York, by insuring that the Navy and Marines were supplied with the fighter and bomber planes they needed, played a vital role in the victory of the United States over Japan.
Questions for Reading 3
1. The process used by the U.S. Navy to receive delivery of airplanes from manufacturers changed twice from 1941 to 1943.
2. What types of skills did ferry pilots (whether reservists, WAFS, or naval aviators) need to safely cross the country and deliver their planes on time?
3. Why was the stork was an appropriate emblem for VRF-1 and the pilots with the safest delivery records?
4. Calculate the percentage of World War II aircraft processed through Naval Air Station—New York (Floyd Bennett Field) using 275,000 (the conservative estimate of the number of aircraft produced by U.S. manufacturers) and 46,000 (the number of aircraft processed by ADU, VRF-1 and VRF-4 at Floyd Bennett Field). What does this tell you about the importance of Floyd Bennett Field to the U.S. victory in World War II?
Reading 3 was compiled from the National Park Service's brochure Floyd Bennett Field: WWII 1941-1945; Giles Gianelloni, Interview by James Van Westering, 10 August 2004; Joseph O'Brien, Interview by James Van Westering, 15 August 2004; "Ferry Command Delivers the Airplanes," Naval Aviation News, July 1, 1944; Will H. Carroll, Official History: Air Ferry Squadron One (VRF-1), Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn, New York, (VRF-1 Association, undated); numerous statistical and general references on naval aviation in World War II; and materials in the collection of the Floyd Bennett Field Task Force.
¹ Each ADU had two divisions: an Aircraft Ferrying Division (AFD) which flew new aircraft from factory to naval airfield ('in-flights') and delivered commissioned planes to their final destination ('ferry flights'); and an Aircraft Engineering Division (AED) which installed any equipment and weaponry required, ran a full check on the plane's systems and performed any necessary 'test flights'.

Growing a Garden on a Small Balcony
With planning, a small balcony can offer some of the same amenities as a garden in the ground: lush foliage, colorful flowers — even vegetables. A small balcony garden has plants up front and up close where you can appreciate it. Plants provide seasonal interest and a bit of privacy, and you still have room for outdoor dining and relaxing.
A balcony offers a host of gardening challenges — no soil, perhaps too much shade or too much sun, and difficulty in bringing water to the garden. Don't give up your gardening dreams, however. You can grow a balcony garden if you keep the following in mind:
- Create a focal point. The focal point in this plan is a small tree or standard (a shrub trained as a small, single-trunk tree). For extra color, underplant the tree with trailing spring or summer-blooming annual flowers (pansies, lobelias, marigolds, petunias, and so on).
- Use window boxes. Fasten window boxes to your balcony's railing, so that they're viewable from indoors or from outside. Use them to create more privacy or to frame a view. Change plantings in the window boxes seasonally by growing annuals in the summer and stuffing the boxes with greens and dried-berry plants for winter and the holidays.
- Grow container plants. Colorful pots of annuals provide surprising amounts of flower color at close range. Water draining from the containers can stain the balcony surface or drip on your neighbor below — keep saucers under the pots.
- Don't forget veggies. Squeeze herbs and vegetables into your balcony garden. To save space, train climbers, such as cucumbers and tomatoes, on teepees or in cages.
- Install an outdoor faucet. Consider installing an outdoor faucet to avoid the tedium of watering with a watering pot.
Size (not too tall or spreading) and maintenance (not too demanding) are your main considerations when making plans for a balcony garden. Also check on your sun and shade exposure throughout the day.
The following small trees and shrubs need sun most of the day and could serve as a focal point on a balcony garden:
- Camellia (needs shade in hot climates)
- Crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica)
- Hibiscus (standard)
- Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergi)
- Japanese maple (Acer palmatum)
- Palms (indoor/outdoor)
- Tree rose (Rosa)
