Signing off for this week.
An American has sat on the United Nations Commission on Human Rights since its inception in 1947. Not so this year, when the U.S. was ousted via a secret ballot in favor of such human rights bulwarks as Cuba, Togo, Sudan, Sierra Leone, China, and Saudi Arabia. Nah, that's cynical. Or is it?
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

ZANTAZ Appoints Two Senior Executives With Broad Financial Services/Technology Experience to Drive Continued Growth and Momentum
Frank M. Siskowski Joins as Senior Vice President and CFO; Kirk Deininger Named Vice President of Sales and Business Development
SILICON VALLEY, Calif., May 9 /PRNewswire/ -- ZANTAZ, a pioneer in Smart Storage Solutions(TM), today announced the appointments of two seasoned executives with broad financial services, technology and general management experience. Frank M. Siskowski was named senior vice president and CFO, and Kirk Deininger was appointed vice president of sales and business development. The two executives are charged with helping to drive ZANTAZ' continued strong growth in providing cost-efficient outsourced services that enable brokerage firms and other regulated companies to capture, archive and instantly retrieve electronic messages and attachments.
A 30-year veteran in finance, Siskowski previously served as CFO of E-LOAN, the leading online consumer debt management firm. Deininger has over 20 years of experience in sales and business development, most recently serving as vice president of corporate sales at E*TRADE Group, Inc.
``Frank Siskowski and Kirk Deininger bring tremendous depth of experience and world-class capabilities to ZANTAZ, particularly within the financial services market, which comprises our current customer base,'' said Steve King, president and CEO of ZANTAZ. ``This is an exciting time for ZANTAZ, as we just launched our new French joint venture with Caisse des Depots Group (CDC), a partnership which represents a strong validation of ZANTAZ' technology and business model. Our momentum and growth help us attract executive talent like Frank and Kirk, who bring the right mix of business-building experience, leadership skills and passion that I'm confident will help propel ZANTAZ to a new level of achievement and financial success.''
As CFO of E-LOAN since 1998, Siskowski led every aspect of the company's financial activities, including managing its IPO, investor relations, structuring joint ventures and completing major financings. Prior to E-LOAN, he served five years in a number of senior finance roles at Visa International, most recently as senior vice president, controller and assistant treasurer. Siskowski has also served in senior finance positions at MCI Corporation, PepsiCo and PricewaterhouseCoopers. A New York native, Siskowski has an MBA from Fordham University and a BBA in Accounting from Manhattan College.
At E*TRADE, Deininger was responsible for increasing corporate sales revenue by more than 500 percent during a two-year period. Prior to joining E*TRADE, he held a number of key positions, including vice president of strategic partnerships, and director of sales at Information Access Company, a Thomson Corporation company. His sales expertise was instrumental in the launching of successful pre-IPO technology companies, including SandPoint Corporation, where he was regional vice president of sales. Deininger earned his MBA degree from Lake Forest School of Management. He holds a NASD Series 7 securities license.

[JR: Here’s why it is so difficult for small private schools to compete with State Schools. Why is the State of New York in the education business. My mom’s taxes in some part subsidize the competition to a schools she likes. Now maybe people will understand why from my point of view there is no difference between the two “major” parties. Why doesn’t the State get into competition with McDonald’s? Because people wouldn’t tolerate it or they could make us eat vegiburgers. ]

HEADLINE: Thomas More acts after warning; Accreditors pointed to deficits
BYLINE: Ben L. Kaufman
SOURCE: The Cincinnati Enquirer
Hit with a warning by its accrediting agency, Thomas More College has reshaped some faculty responsibilities, raised tuition and redesigned its financial aid.
It should know by June 1 whether these changes offer hope for overcoming years of operating fund deficits.
An affirmative answer would allow the College Commission of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, when it convenes in December, to reconfirm the school's accreditation until 2010.
Meanwhile, Thomas More's accreditation remains in effect, and the college is basking in an overall evaluation as academically strong with bright, motivated students.
The 900-student Catholic liberal arts college in Crestview Hills was up for routine 10-year re-accreditation in December. Instead, SACS put it "on warning" for 12 months to repair weaknesses in planning, finances, faculty and paperwork.
"We've taken care of most of that stuff," the Rev. William F. Cleves, president of Thomas More, said in a recent interview.
Failure to meet accreditation criteria will lead to a second and final year on warning status, or suspension or loss of accreditation.
Students at unaccredited schools can't get government financial aid and rarely can get credit for the courses from accredited schools.
Father Cleves, a popular priest, teacher and campus leader, is the first to concede he was not a talented administrator. He was good at fund raising and for many of his nine years as president, helped create surpluses that paid off the annual deficits.
The probing self-evaluation required for Thomas More's 10-year accreditation renewal meant that the financial problems could no longer be treated as business-as-usual as the school focused on winning a rising reputation.
"I have total confidence in Thomas More College's bright future," said E. Joseph Lee, who succeeds Father Cleves on June 1.
"If I felt otherwise, I would not have considered making a move of this magnitude."
Dr. Lee, vice president of New York's Manhattan College, said that school was in worse financial shape than Thomas More when he was hired in 1990.
Central to his turnaround success was recruiting and retaining more paying students with a scholarship strategy similar to that being adopted by Thomas More.
Father Cleves said the accreditation process hastened the changes that veteran administrator Dr. Lee found reassuring.
"We self-reported the financial difficulties," Father Cleves said, and when the SACS evaluation team arrived, he asked them "to give us their wisdom."
Evaluators objected to three years of annual operating deficits of $ 300,000 to $ 600,000, according to John R. Parker, the new vice president for administration - finance and chief financial officer.
Those losses were covered from surpluses built up in previous years and unrestricted investment income.
Absence of a credible turnaround plan was another problem.
Thomas More's response is meant to resolve that issue, too, Father Cleves said.
Faculty administrative duties are being reduced to let more professors teach full time and to reduce the hiring of adjunct instructors.
Total scholarship spending is being reduced, but more paying students will share the grants to shrink the gap between Thomas More and public schools.
Also, adult education is being marketed aggressively.
Father Cleves said SACS rules bar him from speculating whether these changes will elicit renewed accreditation but he was confident Thomas More would measure up.
Dr. Gerald D. Lord, associate executive director of the SACS Commission on Colleges in Decatur, Ga., would not comment on Thomas More, although he is the staff person most closely associated with its case.
However, he said, "Many private church-related liberal arts colleges find themselves faced with a continually accelerating fund-raising challenge . . . It's a downward spiral once you get into the spiral. It's a common kind of thing."

MANHATTAN BASKETBALL COACH BOBBY GONZALEZ SIGNS EXTENSION
Contract Extended Two Years Through 2004-2005
RIVERDALE, NY – Manhattan College President Brother Thomas Scanlan and Athletic Director Robert Byrnes announced the extension of Head Men’s Basketball Coach Bobby Gonzalez’s contract on Monday evening. Gonzalez, who joined the Jaspers for the 1999-2000 season after having been an assistant to Pete Gillen at Virginia, Providence, and Xavier, added two years to his current contract which would have expired after the 2002-2003 season.
“Bobby has done a phenomenal job in a very short time,” commented Mr. Byrnes. “His teams play extremely hard, and his reputation as one of the best recruiters in the country has been upheld. The Program is headed in the right direction, and the College wanted to make sure Bobby was secure in his future at Manhattan.”
In his two years at Manhattan, Coach Gonzalez has been responsible for rejuvenating a basketball team that had won only five games in 1998-1999. In his first year, Coach Gonzalez led the Jaspers to a surprising 12-15 overall, 9-9 MAAC, record and a sixth place finish after being picked last in the preseason poll. This past winter, Gonzalez’s Jaspers continued to improve as they went 14-15 overall, 11-7 MAAC, and tied for fourth place in the conference only one game out of first. It was the first winning season in MAAC play for the Jaspers since the 1995-96 season. Perhaps more importantly, Gonzalez has now had three outstanding recruiting classes that undoubtedly have the Jaspers poised for success over the next few years.
“I am very pleased to sign this extension with Manhattan,” remarked Coach Gonzalez. “This Program is definitely going places over the next few years, and it is reassuring to have this sign of support from both Brother Scanlan and Mr. Byrnes. Manhattan has a tremendous history as a basketball power, and I am looking forward to leading this Program back to that level.”

TRACK AND FIELD SWEEPS MAAC OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. – The Manhattan College track and field teams swept the men's and women's team titles for the fourth straight year at the 2001 MAAC Outdoor Track and Field Championship Sunday at Rider University in Lawrenceville, N.J.

Potter won the 400-meter race in a MAAC record time of 48.0 seconds, the 200-meter race in a MAAC record time of 21.8 seconds and finished second in the long jump with a leap of 6.66 meters. Rose won the 400-meter intermediate hurdles in a MAAC record time of 52.39 seconds and placed second in the 110-meter hurdles in a time of 15.23 seconds.
Sophomore Stefani Allen (Levittown, Pa.) garnered the Women's Most Outstanding Performer by winning three races while setting three MAAC records in the process. She was victorious in the 100-meter hurdles in 14.80 seconds, the 100-meter dash in 12.20 seconds, and the 200-meter run in 24.10 seconds.
Cheryl Drechsel (Port Jefferson Station, N.Y.) won the long jump by soaring 5.21 meters and high jump with a record tying height of 1.74 meters.

Check out the engineer's view of the gold standard
Nice job, John
I think we have a Manhattan engineer who is certainly qualified to replace Greenspan!
John: Which show would you prefer, Bill O'Reilly of Neil Cavuto?
[JR: I’d only need to replace Greenspan for a week. On Monday morning, I’d peg the price of a current dollar to gold. IMHO, it would probably be about ( total dollars outstanding / gold inventory in ounces) $1,000 per ounce. I’d buy dollars at that price and sell dollars at half. Then, I have lunch. After lunch, I’d start firing people. On Tuesday, I’d call everything that was callable (i.e., bond-wise that is). On Wednesday, I’d bid the “Treasury Direct” operation to the street to wind it down. On Thursday, I’d bid out the rest of the Bond Market to the street. On Friday morning, I’d close down the buildings. After lunch, I’d cut a check to the Treasury for the proceeds. The following week, I’d be ready to start on the Treasury Department! Now would you like to hear my plans for “social security”? Ever heard of Chile?]
[JR: I really don’t like either. BO’R isn’t hard enough on the conservatives or the liberals. To me, he let’s them slide with too many namby pamby excuses. There really is very very little difference between them. NC is too optimistic IMHO. I steered clear around the dot com bubble by asking where are the earnings. When he reported that the market valuation of Amazon was five times that of GM, I knew it was time to head to the sidelines. With Greenspan pumping air in the market with interest rate cuts, I am probably 75% cash waiting for sanity to return. Money market returns of 5% and GNMA’s of 8% look down right “Solomon-like”. Triple B bonds in name companies with real earnings are about all the risk one can stand. I dabble in biotechs and pharmaceuticals as the next “tech”. Your mileage may vary.]

Dear John,
Here is an E-mail from a fellow who graduated from Manhattan College, and from my high school, Cardinal Hayes High School, in the Bronx.
Sincerely,
John Peter Rooney
MC '65 Engineering
Jose M. Serrano for City Council, 17th Council District
Dear Fellow Hayesmen:
I am writing to you to introduce myself.
My name is Jose M. Serrano and I am a graduate of Cardinal Hayes High
School, Class of 1990. I feel very
fortunate to have had the "Hayes Experience" and I feel that it has prepared me in so
many ways for the rigors of life.
After graduation, I attended Manhattan College in Riverdale and earned my B.A.
in Political Science. I have always had
a desire to be involved in community service, something that I learned at Hayes
as well as in my own home. My father is
Congressman Jose E. Serrano (D-NY) and he and my mother Carmen worked hard to
instill in me the understanding that there are few things in life as noble and
vital as giving back to the community in which we come from. With that in mind I have driven myself to be
as involved as possible. Currently, I
am Chairman of the Board for the Institute for Urban Family Health. The Institute is a non-profit community
healthcare organization that provides quality healthcare to our medically
underserved community. I am a member of
Community Board 4, a Member of the Board for
the Bronx Council on the Arts, a Member of the Board for the Henry
Street Settlement Campfire Scholarship Committee, and a Member of the Bronx
Young Democrats. I am proud of my
involvement on so many levels in my community, but I feel that I can do even
more. In the City Council I can bring
about a positive change on a much broader spectrum of issues.
I am writing to you to ask for your support.
My race will be a tough one but I feel that my positive message will
resonate throughout the 17th Council District (incidentally, Hayes
sits in the 17th Council District). There are ways that one can help my
campaign such as financial contributions and volunteering. Please respond to this email if you are
interested in > being a part of this positive change in the South
Bronx. Thank you so much for your
time. My committee information is
listed below.
Warm regards,
Jose M. Serrano
Hayes Class of 1990

JR: I’ve thought about advertising and sponsorship but it “felt” like I’d be betraying what I started. Any other opinions?]
Dear John,
Go for it, if you can find sponsor(s).

Manhattan's Graduation is on Sunday, May 20th. Has anyone suggested obtaining the email addresses of those grads who wish to keep in touch?
[JR: Any suggestions how to do that? Short of me going to graduation wearing a sandwich board.]

John,
In the words of little Oliver Twist, "Please Sir, may I have some more?" I made an error with my Outlook Express and inadvertently deleted the Friday, May 4th issue of "Jasper Jottings." May I have another copy? You can send it to me at <privacy invoked>.
Thanks,
Name withheld
Dear Name Withheld,
Here’s a copy.
You can also see it at:

I have it several places for recovery purposes. ;-)

Copyrighted material belongs to their owner. We recognize that this is merely "fair use", appropriate credit is given and any restrictions observed. The CIC asks you to do the same.
All material submitted for posting becomes the sole property of the CIC. All decisions about what is post, and how, are vested solely in the CIC. We'll attempt to honor your wishes to the best of our ability.
A collection copyright is asserted to protect against any misuse of original material.
Operating Jasper Jottings, the "collector-in-chief", aka CIC, recognizes that every one of us needs privacy. In respect of your privacy, I will protect any information you provide to the best of my ability. No one needs "unsolicited commercial email" aka spam.
Recognizing that Jasper Jottings uses a free Microsoft service and is hosted on a site outside of our control, we rely upon their security and privacy policies. However, the CIC of Jasper Jottings will never sell personal data to outside vendors. Nor do we currently accept advertisements, although that may be a future option.
This effort has NO FORMAL RELATION to Manhattan College!
This is just my idea and has no support nor any official relationship with Manhattan College. As an alumni, we have a special bond with Manhattan College. In order to help the College keep its records as up to date as possible, the CIC will share such information as the Alumni office wants. To date, we share the news, any "new registrations" (i.e., data that differs from the alumni directory), and anything we find about "lost" jaspers.
You may only subscribe to the list, visit the web site, read the archives, and submit items for publication only if you have demonstrated a connection to Manhattan College. This may require providing information about yourself to assert the claim to a connection. Decisions of the CIC are final. If you do provide such personal information, such as email, name, address or telephone numbers, we will not disclose it to anyone except as described here.
Should you wish to connect to someone else on the list, you must send in an email to the list requesting the connection. We will respond to you, so you know we received your request, and send a BCC (i.e., Blind Carbon Copy) of our response to your target with your email address visible. Thus by requesting the connection, you are allowing us to share your email address with another list member. After that it is up to the other to respond to you. Bear in mind that anything coming to the list or to me via my reinkefj@alum.manhattan.edu address is assumed to be for publication to the list and you agree to its use as described.
Should some one wish to connect with you, you will be sent a BCC (i.e., Blind Carbon Copy) of our response as described above. It is then your decision about responding.
We want you to be pleased not only with this service. Your satisfaction, and continued participation, is very important to all of us.
Please remember this effort depends upon you being a reporter. Email any news about Jaspers, including yourself --- (It is ok to toot your own horn. If you don't, who will? If it sounds too bad, I'll tone it down.) --- to reinkefj@alum.manhattan.edu. Please mark if you DON'T want it distributed AND / OR if you DON'T want me to edit it. Or, you can fax news to 781-723-7975 any time. Or, you can USMail it to me at 3 Tyne Court Kendall Park, NJ 08824.
Feel free to invite other Jaspers to join us either at http:// jasperjottings listbot.com or by an email subscribing to jasperjottings-subscribe listbot.com. There are public archives of all the jottings at http://jasperjottings.listbot.com for any member to see.
Report any problems or feel free to give me feedback, by emailing me at reinkef@jalum.manhattan.edu. If you are really enraged, or need to speak to me, call 732-821- 5850.
If you don't receive your weekly newsletter, your email may be "bouncing". One or two individual transmissions fail each week and, depending upon how you signed up, I may have no way to track you down, so stay in touch.
