Established by Norman Foster as Foster Associates in 1967 shortly after leaving Team 4, the firm was renamed Sir Norman Foster and Partners Ltd in 1992 and shortened to Foster & Partners Ltd in 1999 to more accurately reflect the influence of the other lead architects.[1]
In 2007, the private equity company 3i took a stake in the practice. This was bought back by the practice in June 2014 to become wholly owned by the 140 partners.[2]

CriticismEdit
In June 2008, The Guardian published an article highly critical of planned real estate development in a pristine seacoast area in Bulgaria which is currently under EU environmental protection. The paper cited environmentalists' concerns over the impact of the planned 15,000 inhabitant resort facilities. The Bulgarian partner, Georgi Stanishev, is the brother of Sergei Stanishev, Leader of Bulgarian socialist Party, Prime Minister of Bulgaria between 17 August 2005 and 27 July 2009 Sergei Stanishev.[22]

Why the Choctaw People Sent Their Meager Funds to Ireland
An incredible act of generosity sparked a 171-year bond between two peoples.
by Natasha Frost March 21, 2018
'Kindred Spirits' Sculpture
A tribute to the incredible generosity the Choctaw Nation showed the Irish people during the Great Famine.
A 19th-century photograph shows a group of Choctaw people. Public Domain
The Choctaw people had been in Oklahoma less than two decades before news spread about an all-consuming famine in Ireland. Having been ousted from their ancestral lands in Mississippi, they were slowly making a new home for themselves, when, on March 23, 1847, members of the struggling tribe were asked to make a donation for those starving strangers, thousands of miles away.
Seventeen years earlier, the Choctaw had been given a terrible choice. They could retain their autonomy if they were prepared to relocate thousands of miles to Oklahoma, or they could remain in their homes and cede their sovereignty to the United States. The 15,000 people who signed the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek and left, walked thousands of miles to get to their destination, with as much as a quarter of their people dying en route. Conditions were bleak: In one 1849 account, a Choctaw man described how, since coming to Oklahoma, they had had "our habitations torn down and burned, our fences destroyed, cattle turned into our fields, and we ourselves have been scourged, manacled, fettered, and otherwise personally abused, until by such treatment some of our best men have died."
Yet amid it all, in a meeting in the stone and timber Agency Building in Skullyville, Oklahoma, they were asked to dig deep for a group of people they had never met. And, incredibly, they did.

Between 1820 and 1870, around 2.5 million people moved from Ireland to America—more than a third of the U.S. population in 1810. Indeed, the parents of President Andrew Jackson, who had put pressure on the Choctaw people to sign the treaty in 1830, had come from Northern Ireland in 1765. The blight, therefore, received extensive coverage in the American press, as émigrés worried about the friends and family they had left behind. As noted by James M. Farrell, a professor of communications at the University of New Hampshire, in early November 1845, many American papers reported that "a failure of the Irish potato crop"—on which around a third of the country relied—was "now too painfully certain," with "a famine among the Irish people … apprehended." Later that year, the Southern Patriot reported, "There is now no part of the country that is not visited by the blight" and "the loss is tremendous."
The tone of coverage grew more frenzied—the next year, the Ohio Statesman warned Americans of "SIX MILLIONS OF HUMAN BEINGS in Ireland and England, are within eight weeks of STARVATION!" Appeals followed. The general public was asked to give donations of money and ship tickets, and relief committees and charitable societies in churches and synagogues alike sprung up to help to support the starving men and women on the other side of the Atlantic.
It's impossible to know precisely how much was raised, though it's likely in the hundreds of thousands, with 118 shipments to Ireland valued at around $550,0000 in 19th-century dollars. Donations came from every corner of American society—even from those least able to give. Children in a pauper orphanage in New York raised $2, while inmates on a prison ship at Woolwich, in London, and at Sing Sing Prison also found ways to send money.

But when Major William Armstrong, an American "Choctaw agent" who represented their interests while implementing U.S. policy, approached them for money in 1847, writes the historian Turtle Bunbury, "he must have experienced mixed emotions." These were people with very little to give, who had been pressured to cede 11 million acres of their land. Many would still have been grieving the family members they had lost along the Trail of Tears: Though the treaty had been signed 17 years earlier, Choctaw people were still making their way to Oklahoma, arriving at their final destination disheveled, filthy, and exhausted.
"Many would have been destitute or ill," writes historian Anelise Hanson Shrout in the Journal of the Early Republic. "Most would have experienced enormous financial, emotional, and demographic damage as a result of removal. It is difficult to imagine a people less well-positioned to act philanthropically." Still, Armstrong took out a circular, produced by the "Memphis committee" for Irish relief, and read it aloud to a crowd of some white settlers—"agents, missionaries, traders"—and a large number of Choctaw Native Americans.
Exactly what happened in that meeting is lost to time. But the assembled group managed to put together $170—well over $5,000 in today's money. Most of this sum came from the Choctaw people. "It was an amazing gesture," Judy Allen, then-editor of the Choctaw newspaper Bishinik, told the American-Statesman Capitol on the 150th anniversary of the gift. "By today's standards, it might be a million dollars." Bunbury explains it thus: "It is assumed that the Choctaw contributed because they felt immense empathy for the Irish situation, having experienced such similar pain during the Trail of Tears a little over a decade earlier."
At the time, however, white Americans took the tribe's generosity not as empathy but as a sign of the success of Christian evangelizing. The 1848 Report of the General Irish Relief Committee notes, on the donation, "The largest part was contributed by the children of the forest, our red brethren of the Choctaw nation. Even those distant men have felt the force of Christian example, and have given their cheerful aid in this good cause, though they are separated from you by many miles of land and an ocean's breadth." An editorial in the Arkansas Intelligencer saw it in even simpler terms: "What an agreeable reflection it must give to the Christian and the philanthropist to witness this evidence of civilization and Christian spirit existing among our red neighbours. They are repaying the Christian world a consideration for bringing them out from benighted ignorance and heathen barbarism. Not only by contributing a few dollars, but by affording evidence that the labours of the Christian missionary have not been in vain."

It would be another five years before the potato famine came to an end. As the Irish people recovered, the Choctaw were drawn into the U.S. Civil War, where they sided with the Confederate States of America, believing that they were promised a state under Indian control if they won. In the century that followed, they continued to struggle with cultural isolation, bullying, underemployment, and an utter lack of political representation. Since the 1970s, however, they have managed to reclaim some of the rights wrested from them in the 19th century, first establishing their own tribal government with a constitution in 1984.
Over the last 170 years, the Irish have remembered this sudden gesture of generosity from distant strangers. Just before St. Patrick's Day 2018, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced an Irish scholarship program for Choctaw youth. As the BBC reported, Varadkar addressed the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma. "A few years ago, on a visit to Ireland, a representative of the Choctaw Nation called your support for us 'a sacred memory'," he said. "It is that and more. It is a sacred bond, which has joined our peoples together for all time. Your act of kindness has never been, and never will be, forgotten in Ireland."

GM, Duke Energy and ABB team on EV battery-to-grid research project.
What happens to that expensive lithium-ion battery in your electric vehicle when its useful life in your car ends? The anticipated growth of EVs and hybrids will result in tens or hundreds of thousands of used batteries in the coming years.
Do the batteries get thrown into a landfill? Recycled? Or can that battery pack find a second life on the electrical grid?
It's still early days for the role of electro-chemical energy storage on the electrical grid -- but utility Duke Energy, grid hardware giant ABB, and automotive manufacturer General Motors are deploying automotive battery packs to understand their usefulness on the electrical grid. Company spokespeople called this "the world's first research effort with EV batteries" for grid applications.
"Batteries located close to the customer will help integrate solar power" according to the Duke spokesperson. GM is providing five battery packs for this project. ABB adds an inverter, electronics, and integration to the bare battery. The Chevy Volt's battery will still have significant energy storage capacity, even after its electric vehicle life, according to GM.
The five used Chevrolet Volt batteries will be integrated into a system able to provide two hours of electricity for three to five typical American homes. This application is typically referred to as Community Energy Storage or CES and its economics and technological robustness remain to be proven. The system and the grid will have to be able to intelligently move power in and out of the batteries and do so in a way that benefits the utility and the consumer.
There are questions regarding this type of energy storage deployment and this type of collaboration can help to begin to answer these questions. If the price of energy storage and batteries has remained the obstacle, certainly the price of a ten-year old EV battery could change the economics of community-scale and grid-scale energy storage.

Howard L. Myers (geboren am 9. März 1930 in Tyrone, Pennsylvania; gestorben 1971, möglicherweise in Florida) war ein amerikanischer Science-Fiction-Autor.

Nach einer ersten Kurzgeschichte The Reluctant Weapon, die 1952 in dem SF-Magazin Galaxy erschien, folgten erst 15 Jahre später weitere Veröffentlichungen, meist in Analog und unter dem Pseudonym Verge Foray, durch die Myers eine gewisse Bekanntheit erlangte. Zu seinen Kurzgeschichtenserien gehört die Econo-War-Serie von 8 Erzählungen, die – teils unter Pseudonym – verstreut in Analog, Galaxy und Amazing erschienen. Darin geht es um eine ferne Zukunft, in der zwar alle materiellen Bedürfnisse befriedigt sind, die Menschheit aber herausfindet, dass es zum Fortbestand der Zivilisation der Konkurrenz bedarf und die daher einen endlosen Krieg veranstaltet, bei dem unbedingt vermieden werden muss, dass eine Seite gewinnt.

Nach seinem frühen Tod 1971 erschienen postum eine Reihe von Kurzgeschichten sowie Cloud Chamber (1977), der einzige Roman Myers, in dem es um Invasoren aus einem Antimaterie-Universum, Sex und die Wiedergeburt allen intelligenten Lebens geht. Sein gesamtes Werk erschien gesammelt in The Creatures of Man (2003, enthält alle Econo-War-Erzählungen) und A Sense of Infinity (2009, enthält Cloud Chamber) bei Baen Books. In deutscher Übersetzung erschienen nur zwei Kurzgeschichten in Anthologien des Heyne-Verlags.

Is Stoke old boy Eric Choupo-Moting guilty of the worse miss of all time? Well very nearly, it would seem.
The Cameroon international, a shock summer recruit for French giants Paris St Germain, needlessly deflected a goal-bound shot from team-mate Christopher Nkunku onto a post from point-blank range to prevent his side going 2-1 up against Strasbourg.
And with the game eventually finishing 2-2, it meant Choupo-Moting's interventional saw PSG miss out on a win that would have given them an eighth Ligue 1 title.
Stoke City fans were certainly quick to poke fun at their former striker, whose had put PSG ahead yesterday and seemingly on course for title glory a year after he was relegated with the Potters.
As it was, PSG were left struggling to claim an equaliser just to draw the game after injuries meant they were without star men Angel Di Maria, Edinson Cavani and Neymar, while Kylian Mbappe was on the bench.
But while the mega-bucks team will be left waiting at least another week to claim the French title, you suspect Choupo-Moting's embarrassment will take a little longer to be forgotten.

Q: How to set character per line limit in word or excel or any other program? I'm doing an application online and part of a section requires 7 lines of writing. However in each line it requires no more than 130 characters. I have done the 7 lines but some lines are over 130 characters and some under.
My question is using word/excel is there any way to automatically format the paragraph so that each line is 130 characters or less?
If another program is required please expand.
Thanks a lot :]

A: This is how I would achieve this:

Under Microsoft Word create a table that fits exactly 130 characters, then turn off the Automatically resize to fit contents options under Table Properties.
It's pretty hacky, but quick and easy to set up.

A: I am more familiar with Excel, you can use data validation in Excel.
see this article Apply data validation to cells: Restrict data entry to text of a specified length

Bride gets wedding day surprise from man who received late son's heart
July 11, 2017, 6:35 PM UTC / Source: TODAY
Becky Turney reserved an empty chair at her wedding last week in memory of the 19-year-old son she lost nearly two years ago.
But she had no idea she would literally feel her son's presence at the ceremony through a surprise guest: the man who received his heart in a transplant.
See the emotional moment a bride gets to meet her son's heart transplant recipient
Becky's groom had secretly flown Jacob Kilby from San Diego to Alaska and kept him hidden from the bride until moments before the start of their wedding ceremony.
Kilby, who was born with a heart defect, had received the heart of Becky's son, Triston Green, in a transplant on October 21, 2015. The two had since exchanged messages online and a phone call on Becky's birthday, but never met in person — until last Friday night.

"I lost my mind. I squealed like a little girl. I jumped up and down. It was incredible," Becky told TODAY.
The exchange was captured in a series of photographs that went viral immediately after being posted on the Facebook page of the wedding photographer, Amber Lanphier, owner of Love Adventured. One of the photos shows Becky listening to Jacob's heart with a stethoscope.

"There really are no words, and that's the coolest part because the pictures, they say it all," Becky said.
She expressed admiration for the ability of her groom and partner for the past seven years, Kelly Turney, to pull off such an act.

"I've never ever been surprised like that, like ever. I'm the girl who secretly unwraps all the Christmas presents under the tree and puts them back. So for him to pull this off was just incredible," said Becky, 40.
Kelly, 44, said the surprise took months of planning, along with "some trickery" to hide Jacob right until the moment he introduced the young man as his sixth groomsman.

He admitted there wasn't a dry eye afterward.
"I got yelled at quite a bit for messing up people's makeup," Kelly said.
For Jacob, 21, the transplant was his second. Born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, he had three heart surgeries before receiving his first transplant at age 2. But that heart began to deteriorate about two years ago. Instead of leaving for college around then, Jacob had a heart attack and was placed for the second time in his life on a transplant waiting list.
Ultimately, his October, 21, 2015, surgery went smoothly, as did his recovery.
"There has seriously not been one complication with the transplant. Everything's been golden," he said. "I surf, I go to the gym everyday, I do cardio. I'm back to my normal self."
Becky and Kelly declined to discuss details about Triston's passing.
"We want the focus to be on organ donation and the relationship and the healing that goes on between recipient families and donor families. That's our focus," said Kelly.

Jacob agreed, expressing gratitude for Triston's decision to sign up as an organ donor.
"I wouldn't be here without it," he said.
The recent flurry of media attention the story has received has been overwhelming for everyone involved but Jacob said he hopes it inspires not only more people to sign up as donors, but also communication between donor families and organ recipients.
"You never know what you're going to get," he said. "Here in Alaska, we've definitely created a bond that's unforgettable and very rare. By us sharing the story, it will hopefully encourage other people to do the same."

Triston's other vital organs saved four additional lives, including a lung recipient whose family has since reached out to Becky after seeing her story. She hopes to eventually connect with the other recipients.
"Those bonds that we're creating are priceless. They're healing," she said.
"Everyone has a legacy, but to see how Triston changed Jacob's life is just incredible...It makes you super proud."
Becky described her adventurous son as the kind of person who was "everyone's best friend."
"He made people feel comfortable in their own skin. He challenged them to face to world. He rooted for the underdog," she said.

Triston would have loved all the publicity he's now receiving, she said with a laugh.
"He would have eaten the attention up. He was always was the center of attention and the life of the party."

The raw materials of the traditional pipeline are made of non-renewable resources, such as petrochemical or ore, and the energy consumption of the production process is very high. Bamboo Winding Pipelines offers a solution with low cost and low energy consumption by innovatively utilizing the renewable bamboo resources. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing and most powerful plants in the world. Bamboo can be fully matured in 3 years, becoming a forest after one-time cultivation, and highly renewable after felling. There are about 22 million hectares of bamboo in the world. China takes up 1/3, as the country with most abundant bamboo resources.
Bamboo Winding Pipelines use bamboo as reinforced materials, processing the thin-walled and hollow bamboo into a continuous strip of sheet material. Bamboo winding pipe owns the advantage of high compression strength, anti-corrosion, outstanding electricity & thermal insulation performance, low cost, etc., and it meets the security evaluation criteria of distribution equipment for drinking water. It can replace most of welded steel pipe, PE pipe, prestressed steel tube concrete pipe and other traditional pipes in the market, widely applied to the municipal water supply and drainage pipe network, irrigation and other water transport areas, thus significantly reducing the use of plastic, steel, cement, etc. Beside pressure pipelines, Bamboo winding pipelines can also be used to make pipe racks and large storage tanks.
The energy consumption in whole production process of a unit length of bamboo winding pipelines only amounts to 1/4 of the welded steel pipe and 1/3 of the polyethylene pipe. Globally, if 20% of the welded steel pipe and 10% of the polyethylene pipe could be replaced by 2025, 63 million tons of CO2 emissions will be avoided annually.
This technology has been awarded as advanced Practical Technology in Water Conservancy Industry and included in Promotion List of National Construction Industry Science and Technology Achievements. It is also listed in List of Key Low Carbon Technology for Deployment (second batch), laying the foundation for large-scale promotion. At present, Zhejiang Xinzhou adopts the mode of technology export and brand management to accelerate the progress of industrialization promotion. The total production capacity is planned to reach 10 million tons in 2020.
Mr. Ye Ling, the chairman of the company and the inventor of the technology, has nearly 45 years of experience in R&D and management in non-metallic materials field. In 2006, inspired by bamboo's high axial tensile strength performance, he developed the Bamboo Winding Pipelines technology based on decades of experience in R&D of composite pressure pipe and containers. There are many outstanding and diligent talents in this company with specialty in pipes, composite materials, polymer chemical engineering, mechanical design, mechanical and electrical integration, financial accounting, marketing, etc.

Way too sweet, even for sweet vermouth
Steven A.
THEY SENT DRY NOT SWEET
You can tell its cheap. It tries its best to look like an Italian Vermouth but is made in NY. Sweet up front with a mineral almost metallic finish. Needs dilution to drink on its own and does alright in cocktails.
I drink the manhatten cocktail and this vermouth makes a great drink in combination with a cheap whiskey
Sorry didn't really like it I just like the regular vermouth
What is fortified wine?
Fortified wines are a category that have had distilled spirits added to them during the winemaking process. These include popular dessert wines such as vermouth, sherry, and port.
When should you drink sherry?
Our advice is always "drink it when you want to," but typically PX (Pedro Ximenez) sherry is enjoyed with dessert while oloroso, amontillado, and palo cortado can be served with main dishes.
How many types of fortified wine are there?
There are five basic types of fortified wine: sherry, port, vermouth, Madeira, and Marsala. Technically, however, any wine that has had neutral spirits added to it can be classified as a fortified wine.
What is the difference between fortified and unfortified wine?
Standard wine is produced from grapes through fermentation in a standard winemaking process, while fortified wines have had distilled spirits added to them either during winemaking or to the finished product. Fortified wines typically have a higher alcohol content than their unfortified counterparts.
How much alcohol is in fortified wine?
It varies by the wine, but most dessert fortified wines fall into the 15-24% ABV range, while unfortified wines have a typical average ABV of 11-16%.

To The framework regulations § 30
§ 30 Cessation plan
The plan that the licensee is required to prepare according to Section 5-1 of the Petroleum Act, shall be submitted to the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy and the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs with copies to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate and the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway.
In addition to documentation as mentioned in Section 44 of the Regulations to the Petroleum Act (in Norwegian only), the plan shall contain a description of
the risk during and following a possible removal,
planned methods in the event of removal, including refloating the structure,
planned analyses,
operations planned in the event of a possible removal,
consequences of potential removal as regards adjacent fields and facilities,
other matters of importance for prudent implementation,
measures, if any, to prevent pollution, cf. Section 20 of the Pollution Control Act (in Norwegian only).
This section applies to the onshore facilities insofar as they are covered by the scope of the Petroleum Act.
Section last changed: 17 June 2016
The provision clarifies Section 5-1 of the Petroleum Act and complements provisions regarding the same topic in the Regulations relating to the Petroleum Act, cf. Sections 43 and 44 (in Norwegian only). This section applies to the entire health, safety and environment area. This section entails no material changes in relation to current law, based on the Petroleum Act and the Regulations relating to the Petroleum Act, but provides a clarification of requirements evident from Section 44, second subsection, litera a of the Regulations relating to the Act relating to petroleum activities.
This section replaces other requirements related to cessation in the current onshore regulations in areas covered by the Petroleum Act. For a detailed description of the scope of the Petroleum Act, reference is made to the Guidelines regarding Section 27 No. 2.
For onshore facilities covered by the Petroleum Act, a cessation plan shall be presented in accordance with Section 5-1 of the Petroleum Act. This plan shall form the basis for the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy's disposal decision. As regards onshore facilities or facilities on the seabed that are subject to private ownership, the Ministry's disposal decision can only involve further use in the petroleum activities, cf. Section 5-2, seventh subsection of the Petroleum Act. The licensee shall therefore not discuss other disposal alternatives for such facilities.
Examples of operations according to this section's litera d include lifting operations, maritime operations and subsea operations.
Cessation of petroleum activities shall be reported to the Norwegian Environment Agency, cf. Section 20 of the Pollution Control Act (in Norwegian only). If the cessation plan according to the Petroleum Act is not sufficient in relation to requirements stipulated in or in pursuance of the Pollution Control Act (in Norwegian only), the Norwegian Environment Agency can require additional information and implementation of studies to map the risk of pollution in connection with and following cessation of petroleum activities, cf. Sections 49 and 51 of the Pollution Control Act (in Norwegian only). In addition, the Norwegian Environment Agency can stipulate which measures are necessary to prevent pollution, cf. Section 20, second subsection of the Pollution Control Act (in Norwegian only).

About $6 million worth of beans and wieners for the Winnipeg Jets…blame Ray Charles for Jimmy Mann…the Shoe fits…hockey teams and their value…hot-buttered takes from The ROT…the missing Munster son…and other things on my mind
Monday morning coming down in 3, 2, 1…and don't think for a minute that I've given much thought to any of this…
Fergy
It was mid-June 1979 and John Bowie Ferguson had just examined the list of players available to him in the National Hockey League expansion draft.
He winced. Then scowled.
Fergy rose to his feet and trudged across the main room of his 13th-floor suite in the fabulous Queen Elizabeth Hotel. He stopped in front of a large window, stared at the splendor that is Montreal, and noted that Mary Queen of the World Cathedral was directly across the street.
"Well," I said, "I guess you have two choices, Fergy: You can go across the street and do some serious praying, or you can jump."
The Winnipeg Jets general manager did neither. He just grunted.
Tom McVie
Head coach Tom McVie, sitting in a nearby chair, smiled and cracked wise: "You know," he said, "there's enough talent available for us to win the Allan Cup. It might be seven games, but if we get home ice in the seventh game, we could win."
He was joking, but not far from accurate.
I don't know what $650 million will buy the Seattle Whatsits two years hence when the new kids on the block piece together their expansion roster of rejects, but I do know what $6 million bought Fergy and the Jets in mid-June 1979—sweet petite.
The NHL's existing 17 outfits, be advised, did not lean toward benevolence when they grudgingly agreed to accept les Jets, the Edmonton Oilers, Quebec Nordiques and Hartford Whalers into their shinny cartel. The plan was to first plunder the rosters of the World Hockey Association survivors—Winnipeg HC suffered the worst body count—then allow them to go on a dumpster dive for dregs.
Some interesting names were there for the choosing. Like Bobby Orr. Except the great No. 4 was crippled and retired. The Big M, Frank Mahovlich, was available, except he was 41 and, like Orr, finished. Fergy could have had former Jets head coach Larry Hillman, except Morley was 42 and hadn't played in three years. Yvan Cournoyer? The Roadrunner was out of gas. I seem to recall there also being a dead guy on the list.
It was so bad that Fergy didn't even bother to call out names on his final shout on draft day.
"Okay," he muttered in a tone that suggested both protest and resignation, like a kid being force-fed one more mouthful of Brussels sprouts before dessert, "Winnipeg Jets take the last two players."
Gene Carr and Hilliard Graves thus were added to a collection of misfits, mostly guys with marginal or diminished skills. Also some undesirable contracts. In sum, Fergy plucked 17 players that day: Peter Marsh, Lindsay Middlebrook, Bobby Hull, Al Cameron, Dave Hoyda, Jim Roberts, Lorne Stamler, Mark Heaslip, Pierre Hamel, Gord McTavish, Gord Smith, Clark Hamilton, Jim Cunningham, Dennis Abgrall, Bill Riley, Carr and Graves.
Still, combined with holdovers from the Jets 1979 WHA championship roster, that bunch easily could have won senior hockey's Allan Cup, but they failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs. They won 20 of 80 games, and just nine in their sophomore season.
We know the NHL has no plan to be similarly punitive with Seattle, because a $650 million sticker price demands that they get some sizzle with their steak. For the Jets, though, it was $6 million worth of beans and wieners.
The plundering of rosters and a player pool of ragged retreads weren't the only indiginities inflicted upon the Jets and their WHA brethren. In a penalizing departure from established practice, the NHL ruled that the four expansion teams would choose last, rather than first, in the amateur draft. By the time Fergy used the No. 19 shout-out to pluck Jimmy Mann (talk about cruel and unusual punishment), guys like Ray Bourque, Rob Ramage, Mike Gartner, Craig Hartsburg, Paul Reinhart and Mike Foligno had already been snatched up. Ahead of the draft, Fergy had said, "Let's face it, Ray Charles could pick the first-round drafts. We all know who they're going to be." So let's all blame Ray Charles for Jimmy Mann.
Being bad had its benefits for Fergy and les Jets. Their names were Dave Babych and Dale Hawerchuk, plucked in the 1980 and '81 entry drafts, respectively. With Babs and Ducky on board, les Jets soared from a nine-wins, 32-points season to 33 Ws and 80 points.
The Shoe
Nice to see Lars-Erik Sjoberg and Ab McDonald get the nod as the next inductees to the Winnipeg Jets Hall of Fame. Sadly, both have left us, but I'm sure there'll be a celebratory mood when some of the old boys gather to salute the two former captains on Feb. 26 at the Little Hockey House On The Prairie.
According to Forbes magazine, the Winnipeg HC franchise is now valued at $415 million, 27th among NHL clubs. Considering that Puck Pontiff Mark Chipman and co-bankroll David Thomson paid $170 million for their play thing, that's a handsome hike. Mind you, it's expected they'll also be required to fork over $170M to Patrik Laine by the time he's finished.
If you missed it, here's how Forbes lists the value of each Canadian franchise: Tranna Maple Leafs $1.35 billion, Montreal Canadiens $1.3B, Vancouver Canucks $735 million, Edmonton Oilers $540M, Calgary Flames $450M, Ottawa Senators $435M, Winnipeg HC $415M. And, yes, now that you mention it, I don't see how in the name of Cyclone Taylor the Jets can be worth less than the dysfunctional Senators. That's like saying a pack of smokes is a better buy than gym membership.
This from Bruce Arthur of the Toronto Star: "Not to overreact, but Auston Matthews is probably the best goal-scorer in the world. This isn't a hot take; it's maybe a take that you left in the microwave for like 15 seconds, long enough to soften butter but not melt it." Sorry, Bruce, but that's a totally hot-buttered Tranna take.
John Torotorella
Interesting to see loose cannon head coach John Tortorella adorned in a hoodie rather than a suit and tie behind the Columbus Blue Jackets bench last week. Apparently he was fit to be tied after the game, though.
When did women's curling become more interesting and more entertaining that the men's side? And does the curling season really begin before Vic, Cheryl and Russ are in the booth? No knock against Sportsnet's coverage of Grand Slam events, but it just sounds right when Vic Rauter, Cheryl Bernard and Russ Howard are making the calls on TSN.
Robin Munster
Is it just me, or does anyone else find TSN's UFC gab guy Robin Black kind of creepy? I think he might be related to the Munsters. Maybe a distant cousin to Herman or Lily. Or separated from Eddie Munster at birth. Black might know his stuff (although anyone who picked Conor McGregor to whup Floyd Mayweather is suspect), but do we really need to see him rolling around inside the octagon? I know I don't.
Paul LaPolice
Interesting that Winnipeg Blue Bombers offensive coordinator Paul LaPolice took his name from the Tranna Argonauts head-coaching hunt. Not surprising, though. I mean, working in The Republic of Tranna is the Canadian Football League equivalent of a witness protection program. The 50/50 draw is larger at a backyard barbeque in Fort Garry than at BMO Field in The ROT. I could see Coach LaPo defecting to B.C., but Tranna? Only on a dare.
And, finally, forestry and lands people have discovered a hole the size of a CFL field in a remote B.C. park. It's believed to be the biggest opening in North America now that Ondrej Pavelec has taken his five-hole back to the Czech Republic.

Winnipeg Jets: A personal 'best of this and best of that'
I'm not fond of all-time greatest lists because they're too often compiled by people who are not all-seeing.
Take, for example, the recent anointing of Dave Keon as creme de la Toronto Maple Leafs. As someone who witnessed the wonder that was Keon, initially on the family's black-and-white TV with rabbit ears and then live and in living color with the New England/Hartford Whalers, I offer no quarrel with the salute to the diminutive, balletic centre-ice man. More to the point, I endorse it. Fully.
I wonder, though: How many among the 30 "experts" and 300,000 fans who gave voice to the Keon coronation actually saw him perform? How many can say they watched Syl Apps or Teeder Kennedy, who finished second and third, respectively, in balloting to select the greatest of the greats who have worn Maple Leafs linen in the past 100 years?
Syl Apps retired in 1948, two years before I was born. Teeder Kennedy hung 'em up in '57. I don't have the vaguest memory of him.
Time passed is the flaw in the all-time-greatest ointment, and it explains how a thug like Tie Domi can find himself on the same list as Dave Keon. I mean, seriously? Tie Domi belongs in the same company as Dave Keon? Ya, like I belong in the same ballet as Sophia Lee.
All of which brings me to the Winnipeg Jets. (Yes, I agree, the mention of Domi and ballet in the same breath serves as a rather odd, if not odious, segue to a discussion about the local hockey heroes, but work with me, kids.)
The creaky, old boys and the not-so-creaky Teemu Selanne will be back in town this week to participate in True North Sports & Entertainment's genuflection to the Jets' gloried past in the World Hockey Association and its limited achievements during the first go-round in the National Hockey League. Many of them, no doubt, shall arrive in River City greater of girth and with hairlines in rapid retreat, but hopefully old habits kick in when they take time away from the mirth and merriment of their reunion to play some pond hockey with the creaky, old Edmonton Oilers.
Slow-motion cameras won't be a requirement, of course, because the actual-time speed is apt to be in super slo-mo—save for Selanne—but I'm guessing the Alumni Game on Saturday has as much appeal power as the Heritage Classic featuring the present-day Jets and Oilers on Sunday. (For those of you inclined to place a friendly wager on Team Hawerchuk in the old boys' skirmish, be certain you get favorable odds because Team Gretzky has them out-Hall of Famed, 5-1, with one inductee-in-waiting.)
Anyway, this gathering of the clan puts me in mind of the best of the best, Jets version.
Many of my vintage can say we've seen them all, from the original Jet, Norm Beaudin, to today's current flavor of the month, Patrik Laine, and some of us can say we saw more than most because we had the good fortune of an insider's view home and away. That doesn't make me an expert. It simply means I saw the Jets from a different vantage point.
It's with that in mind that I submit some personal "best of" Jets lists…
My Favorites to Watch
1. Kent Nilsson: Pure magic. The most-talented player to wear a Jets jersey. Bar none.
2. Peter Sullivan: Silky smooth. I don't care if he was defensively deficient. He was dazzling with the puck on his stick.
3. Anders Hedberg: The Swedish Express. His acceleration off the right wing was unparalleled.
4. Teemu Selanne: Ditto what I said about Hedberg.
5. Alexei Zhamnov: Spectacularly subtle. Perhaps that's a contradiction in terms, but he was supremely skilled without a shred of flamboyance.
Most Grit
1. Ulf Nilsson: The punishment he absorbed and endured in the WHA was barbaric and criminal.
1a. Anders Hedberg: See above.
1b. Lars-Erik Sjoberg: See above.
1c. Ted Green: How he played so well in so much head pain is a mystery. I used to cringe watching the Seed hobbling on and off buses and airplanes, knowing he was in crippling pain.
3. Terry Ruskowski: He finished the 1979 WHA final with one arm.
Most Fun
Tom McVie: He'd always spice his interviews with comments like, "I've been fired more times than Al Capone's machine gun" or "If life made sense, it would be men who rode sidesaddle. Think about it."
Willy Lindstrom: The great prankster. He always made a pit stop at a joke store on our visits to Quebec City, then would toss stink bombs and sprinkle sneezing powder on our flight out of town.
Gary (Suitcase) Smith: Smitty seemed to take life with a wink and a nod.
Moments of Madness
1: Mike Smith: Comrade Mikhail, as I called the Jets GM, sold Kris Draper to the Detroit Red Wings for $1 (U.S. currency, one presumes) and used nine of his 12 selections at the 1992 NHL entry draft to claim Russians, the first of whom was the legendary Sergei Bautin. Smith's make-work-for-Russians project fell flat. Little wonder Dale Hawerchuk got out of Dodge a couple years earlier.
2. Jimmy Mann: The sucker punch that shattered Paul Gardner's jaw was every bit as bad as Todd Bertuzzi's assault on Steve Moore.
3. Tom McVie: Taking his teeth out and trying to fight coach Al MacNeil of the Atlanta Flames was comedy gold.
4. John Ferguson: Punching a hole in the wall of his bunker at Winnipeg Arena? Check. Dumping a bucket of ice on to the Buffalo Sabres bench? Check. Kicking a hole in a dressing room door? Check.
Most Frustrating
1. Andrew McBain: We called him "Fergy's son" or "Fergy's kid" because we couldn't think of any reason he was on the team, except that he must have been GM John Ferguson's illigitimate kid. Beaner fooled us, though, with 32- and 37-goal seasons before leaving the Jets.
2. Scott Campbell: Asthma did poor Scotty in. His was never able to tap his full potential.
3. Ray Neufeld: Not because he underachieved, but because I silently cheered for him to succeed more than any other Jet. He became a fan whipping boy due to the Dave Babych trade, and I wanted Neuf to be a star. Never happened.
Best Quote
1. Dave Babych: Always gave thoughtful answers.
2. Terry Ruskowski: Honest, emotional, passionate.
3. Dale Hawerchuk: Ducky was the face of the franchise for so many years and he always delivered the goods.
4. Andrew McBain: No matter how hard the media rode him, Beaner didn't balk on interviews.
5. Eddie Olczyk: I didn't talk to Eddie O a great deal, but I could tell he had a future in talking.
5b. Barry Melrose: Friar Nicolson and I called him Kelvington after his home town in Saskatchewan. He loved talking into a microphone or tape recorder.
He's Got Gonads
1. Tom McVie: Anyone who would bench Bobby Hull, one of the team owners, for arriving at the rink late has size XXXL gonads.
2. Morris Lukowich: A bantam rooster with a tiger in his tank. Luke never picked on anyone his own size, because they were all bigger than him.
3. Lars-Erik Sjoberg: Built like Barney Rubble, the Little General shied away from no man, not even Bad News Bilodeau and the rest of the cement heads who would run him through the boards in the WHA.
Good Guys
1. Laurie Boschman: So belligerent on the ice, so soft-spoken and genuinely nice off it.
2. Dave Babych: A big, friendly bear of a man.
3. Terry Ruskowski: A good Canadian Prairie boy.
4. Barry Melrose: Fun guy, always joking with Friar and I.
5. Jude Drouin/Pierre Hamel: They took care of me after I collapsed on a flight home from Toronto.
Curmudgeons Before Their Time
1. Randy Carlyle: Mostly it was an act (I think), but Kitty played the role of the two old farts on The Muppets.
2. Mario Marois: Forever bitching about the heat on the bus.
Most Underrated
1. Teppo Numminen: I think he was only appreciated in Winnipeg. Had he played in Toronto or Montreal, they'd still be talking about him.
2. Ron Wilson: Dawg: Subtly efficient.
(When they Drafted this Guy)
1. Sergei Bautin: Still hard to believe that comrade Mikhail Smith squandered a first-round pick on this pylon.
2. Jimmy Mann: Strike one against Fergy.
3. Hannu Jarvenpaa: Scored four goals in an exhibition game. Scored 11 the rest of his career.
4. Evgeny Davydov: Mikhail was kidding, right?
5. Ryan Stewart: Three games, one goal. Say no more.

Forty-seven years of Winnipeg hockey memories from a former rink rat
Forty-seven years. That's how long it has been, to the day, since I began a newspaper career that brought neither fame nor fortune but provided a fair bit of fun.
That's why I still scribble about sports to this day, 17 years removed from mainstream media—it's a hoot.
The pay as a freelancer/blogger isn't nearly as good, mind you. It's mice nuts. It isn't enough to keep me well watered and fed. I mean, I can't afford to make spaghetti and meatballs anymore. It's one or the other. But, hey, the payoff is the giggles I get by poking the bear, tipping sacred cows or tilting at windmills (I promise, no more cliches for today).
One would think that I'd have gotten the Winnipeg Jets out of my system by now. But no. Some habits are hard to kick, if not impossible. I just can't let the Jets go. And, to a lesser degree, the Blue Bombers.
I don't know how many hours I spent in the old barn on Maroons Road, but I do know that Winnipeg Arena was my home away from home for a good number of years. As were various other shinny shacks throughout North America, from the story-studded Montreal Forum to Jack Kent Cooke's Fabulous Forum in Tinseltown to the rickety Corral in Calgary to frost-bitten wooden huts that passed for hockey rinks in numerous Western Canada outposts.
And that's what I am remembering this morning…
I remember Frank McKinnon, a remarkable, special man and the person I interviewed for my first Winnipeg Tribune byline story in 1971. Frank, president of the Manitoba Amateur Hockey Association at the time, was one of those people I always thought I should address as "Mister," because he commanded such respect. But he would have none of it. "I'm Frank," he told me early in our initial conversation, "and I want you to know that you can call me any time." Frank and I talked often, but probably not as often as I would have liked.
I remember the night in Atlanta when Winnipeg Jets coach Tom McVie attempted to scale the glass partition separating the two benches so he could fight his counterpart with the Flames, Al MacNeil. Tommy took off his sports coat, took off his necktie, took off his wrist watch, partially unbuttoned his shirt—then took out his teeth! "When he took his teeth out and started undressing," said MacNeil, "I knew he was serious."
Muzz MacPherson and his Portage Terriers.
I remember riding a bus with coach Muzz MacPherson and his Portage Terriers during their successful 1973 Centennial Cup crusade. Muzz liked his hockey with an edge and there was nothing sissified about the way his lads played. So physical were the Terriers that Humboldt Broncos' coach Dr. Terry Henning took his puck and went home after five games rather than finish their playoff series with Muzz's Manitoba Junior Hockey League champions. "Can you believe it?" Muzz asked me. "They quit. The good doctor said my guys are too dirty. He says we're too mean and nasty. So he quit. I sure as hell wouldn't want him doing open-heart surgery on me—he'd walk out in the middle of the operation!"
I remember interviewing Vladislav Tretiak at a house on Elm Street in River Heights. I don't recall who owned the house or why I had to meet the great Soviet goaltender there, but he was in town to promote his book and we gabbed for about an hour at a kitchen table (rather, the interpreter and I chin-wagged for an hour). When we parted, Tretiak said something to the interpreter, who relayed to me that "Vladimir thinks you are a hockey expert." As photographer Jon Thordarson and I walked toward our vehicle, I said, "Imagine that, Tretiak thinks I'm a hockey expert…sure fooled him, didn't I?"
I remember being in Indianapolis with the Jets on American Thanksgiving Day and Racers coach Pat (Whitey) Stapleton inviting myself, play-by-play legend Friar Nicolson and Winnipeg Free Press hockey writer Reyn Davis to turkey dinner with his family. It was such a thoughtful gesture, but that's the kind of relationship media and hockey people sometimes had back then, especially in the World Hockey Association.
I remember Aime Allaire and his never-ending quest to bring Senior hockey's Allan Cup home to Winnipeg. Alas, Aime's St. Boniface Mohawks could never get the job done.
I remember the Jets' first visit to New York City, to play the Rangers. Friar, Reyn, Sod Keilback and I went for a stroll of Manhattan on game-day afternoon and we ducked into magnificent St. Patrick's Cathedral for a look-see. "I'm going to light a candle for the Jets," I said. "They're going to need all the help they can get against the Rangers." Sod greeted that notion with rude laughter. The Jets beat the Rangers that night, 6-4.
John Ferguson
I remember another trip to Manhattan. Our bus driver wanted to make a detour down a side street, but he couldn't navigate the turn because a Volkswagen Beetle was parked too close to the corner. General manager John Ferguson and the driver stepped outside to investigate. Fergy came back on the bus and shouted, "Jimmy! You and a few other guys come with me. We've gotta move this car." Fergy, Jimmy Mann and three or four other players lifted half the Volkswagen on to the sidewalk and away we went.
I remember Muzz MacPherson refusing to talk to me after a Winnipeg Clubs' game. "I'm too upset," the gravel-voice coach barked. "I don't want to talk. Just make up the quotes. You know me well enough by now that you know what I'll say." So, for the only time in my career, I made up quotes. The following day, Muzz called me and he was frothing at the mouth. "What are you trying to do to me?" he yelped. "I wouldn't have said all those things you said I said—I would have done a lot more swearing."
I remember talking to Ulf Nilsson the night the Jets whupped the Soviet national team, 5-3, and the great Swedish centre saying, "I'm proud to be a Canadian tonight."
I remember Friar Nicolson allowing me to do five minutes of play-by-play one night when Dave Keon and the New England Whalers were in town. It was a classical gas.
I remember watching the 1973 Belmont Stakes with Muzz and various hockey sorts who had assembled at the Viscount Gort for an annual chin wag. As the great Secretariat romped down the home stretch, about 30 lengths in front of the field, Muzz stared at the TV and shouted, "Don't break a leg! Don't break a leg!" Big Red didn't even break stride and became horse racing's first Triple Crown winner since Citation in 1948.
I remember Teddy Green's headaches. I often wondered how a man could be in such crippling pain and still go out and perform so admirably on the Jets blueline.
I remember riding the iron lung with Gerry Brisson and his Winnipeg Clubs on a junket that took us to Brandon, Regina, Swift Current, Calgary and Kamloops and back. Kevin McCarthy was on that team. He was the most-talented Junior I ever covered.
I remember covering an MJHL that included four Winnipeg teams—the Winnipeg Monarchs, St. James Canadians, St. Boniface Saints and my alma mater, the West Kildonan North Stars. (That's right, I played in the MJHL and covered it. I believe Doug Lunney is the only other person to do so.)
I remember taking pride in the championship work of Barry Bonni with his River East Royal Knights of the Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League, because his team represented my old 'hood.
Morris Lukowich
I remember Morris Lukowich barking at me after the Jets' initial NHL game, in Pittsburgh. Luke had been credited with the team's first NHL goal, tipping in a Peter Marsh shot. "Where did that shot hit you?" I asked him. "Friar and I never saw it change direction." He shot me with a stone-cold stare and said, "Are you calling me a liar?" I was doing nothing of the sort, of course. "No, Luke, I'm not calling you a liar," I said. "I have a game story to write and I need to know where the puck hit you so I can describe the goal accurately."
I remember being part of a media team for Schmockey Night. Ray Jauch was our coach and Eddie (Clear the Track) Shack, the clown prince of the National Hockey League, was my left winger. Jauch, head coach with the Blue Bombers at the time, wouldn't let Shack or I come off the ice in the final five minutes because we needed a goal to tie the game. Neither of us scored.
I remember wonderful conversations with hockey lifers Bruce Cheatley, Ed Sweeney, Bill Addison, Julian Klymkiw, Aggie Kukulowicz and Billy Robinson, who, along with Dr. Gerry Wilson, was responsible for bringing the first wave of Swedes to North America and transorming the Jets into a WHA power.
I remember defenceman Tim Watters buying Friar and I beer when he came in after curfew one night in Vancouver. "You don't have to do that, Tim," Friar told him. "We're not going to rat you out. You're good people." I never ratted out any of the Jets. Neither did Friar. What they did on their time was their business.
I remember covering the Jets rookie training camp in Sainte Agathe, Que., in 1979 for the Winnipeg Tribune, and Fergy asking me to play in the final exhibition game because Patrick Daley had pulled a groin during the morning skate. "Are you serious? You want me to play tonight?" I asked him. He did. So I did. Assisted on the first goal, too. All the players at Sainte Agathe moved on to the Jets main training camp in Winnipeg, then some were assinged to the Tulsa Oilers. I went back to the Trib with a grand total of one assist in my only pro game. And I never got paid.
I remember the Jets first visit to the Montreal Forum. Friar and I walked in with Fergy, who was still a hero in Quebec, and he directed us to the concession stands. "Troi chien chauds," Fergy ordered. He looked at us and said, "These will be the best hot dogs you'll ever eat." They were. To this day.
I remember bringing beer to former Soviet referee Anatoli Segelin, who was part of the U.S.S.R. traveling party for the 1981 Canada Cup. Upon his arrival at the Viscount Gort, Anatoli, who loved Canadian journalists, begged me to bring some beer up to his room on the second floor. I asked Stew MacPherson if he could spare a couple of 12-packs from the media hospitality room for Anatoli and comrades, and he agreed. Upon seeing me at his door with 24 beer, Anatoli flashed a smile as wide as Mother Russia and said, "Canada! Come! Come! We drink!" Segelin, myself and two other comrades did just that.
Willy Lindstrom
I remember Willy Lindstrom's pranksterism. Every time the Jets' travels would take us to Quebec City, Willy would visit a joke shop not far from the Chateau Frontenac and load up on stink bombs and sneezing powder. He would then unleash them on our airplanes. Go to sleep during a flight and it was guaranteed you'd wake up in a sneezing fit, because Willy would sneak up from behind and sprinkle powder on you. And the stink bombs were absolutely paralyzing.
I remember sitting in an airport, listening to Mike Smith deliver a 10-minute oration on the methodology of the Richter Scale after an earthquake hit the West Coast. As he spoke, I thought, "Man, this guy is a different head of lettuce." I didn't realize exactly how different Smith was until the day he drafted Sergei Bautin.
I remember going to the draft in Montreal the year Fergy chose defenceman David Babych second overall, ahead of Denis Savard and Paul Coffey. More interesting, however, was the fact Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran were next door, prepping for the Brawl in Montreal, the first fight in their boxing trilogy.
I remember feeling sorry for Ray Neufeld, a truly nice, young man who came to the Jets from Hartford in exchange for David Babych. It was recognized as Fergy's worst transaction and fans took out their frustrations on poor Ray. That wasn't fair.
I remember the first time I ever saw Peter Sullivan play hockey and asking, "How is this guy not playing in the NHL?"
I remember Jimmy Mann trying to convince me that he was "not an animal" after his sucker punch had shattered Paul Gardner's jaw into a dozen pieces. It wasn't me Jimmy had to convince…it was everyone else in hockey.
I remember Laurie Boschman's on- and off-ice personalities. He was such a nasty bit of business when they dropped the puck, yet so soft-spoken, sincere and genuinely nice once the final buzzer sounded.
I remember a pilot delaying takeoff from Atlanta when we realized rookie broadcaster Sod Keilback was AWOL. Turns out the big lug had gotten lost in the airport, which was larger than his hometown of Yorkton, Sask., and he heard some serious braying once Friar Nicolson had located him and brought him on board. Sod made a feeble attempt to explain his wandering ways, but we were having none of it. "You're just a big sodbuster," I said. The name stuck. He was known as Sod thereafter.
I remember my traveling partners in the WHA, Friar and Reyn Davis, two terrific guys. Both of them are in the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame, and rightly so. Sadly, both of them are also dead. I'm neither in the Hall of Fame nor dead, but it's only a matter of time before I arrive at the Pearly Gates (I probably haven't been good enough to get in there either).
