Signing off for this week.

Anyone still doubting that the “government” is out of control only need to look here in the “people’s republic of new jersey”, where the local commissars in Edison are swapping property that they steal from a widow by “eminent domain” for a park. Perhaps, someone will take this to court like some one did for the lady in AC who didn’t want to sell to Trump. Sooner or later, when you tire of “renting” your house form the local politicians, … … what you think you “own” your house!?! … …  just try no paying your “property taxes” that pay for all those vital services like education. You’ll find out real soon who real owns what!

Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

[Announcement 1]

Monday June 25, 8:08 am Eastern Time
Press Release
SOURCE: SIGA Technologies, Inc.

Philip N. Sussman Joins SIGA Technologies as President and CEO

NEW YORK, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- SIGA Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIGA - news) today announced the appointment of Philip N. Sussman as President and Chief Executive officer of SIGA.

``It is important for emerging biopharmaceutical companies to combine cutting edge research and technology with professional management,'' said Donald G. Drapkin, Chairman of SIGA. ``I am confident that Philip Sussman's experience in licensing technologies and in structuring strategic alliances with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies will provide the necessary platform for SIGA's success.''

Mr. Drapkin, Vice-Chairman of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, Inc., explained that Mr. Sussman's appointment at SIGA was a direct result of the reconstitution of SIGA's management and board of directors in April 2001, at which time Mr. Drapkin assumed the position of Chairman of SIGA. Coincident with Mr. Sussman's appointment, Eric A. Rose, M.D., Chairman of the Department of Surgery and Surgeon-in-Chief of Columbia-Presbyterian Center of New York Presbyterian Hospital, relinquishes his position as Interim CEO of SIGA, remaining a director.

Mr. Sussman was previously Executive Vice President -- Corporate Development at Memory Pharmaceuticals Corp., a privately held biopharmaceutical company. From 1993 to 1999 he was an officer at Cadus Pharmaceutical Corporation, rising to the position of Senior Vice President -- Finance and Corporate Development & Chief Financial Officer. Prior to that he was Director of Strategy and Business Development at Ciba-Geigy Corp.'s (now Novartis Corp.) Pharmaceuticals Division.

Mr. Sussman is a member of the Review Panel for the Innovative Technology Research Grant Program, Center for Biotechnology, New York State Science and Technology Foundation. He is also an author of recent articles in Scrip Magazine, The Journal of BioLaw & Business, and Journal of Commercial Biotechnology, where he is a member of the Editorial Board. He holds an S.M. in management with a concentration in finance from the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an M.S. degree in Biotechnology from Manhattan College, and a B.S. in Physics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

SIGA is identifying and developing novel anti-infective agents based on its pioneering research in the field of bacterial surface proteins, structures used by bacteria to initiate and maintain an infection. Drug candidates that interfere with surface protein expression are expected to be effective against a wide range of disease-causing bacteria, including antibiotic resistant bacteria, by blocking the attachment of bacteria to human tissue, the first step in the infection process. By comparison, antibiotics available today act by interfering with either the structure or the metabolism of a bacterial cell, affecting its ability to survive and to reproduce. No currently available antibiotics target the attachment of a bacterium to its target tissue. Once prevented from attaching to and colonizing human tissue, bacteria are readily cleared by the body's immune system.

This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding the efficacy and intended utilization of the company's technologies under development. Such statements are only predictions and the company's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include the risk that potential products that appeared promising in early research or clinical trials to the company or its collaborators do not demonstrate efficacy or safety in subsequent pre-clinical or clinical trials, and the risk that the company or its collaborators will not obtain approval to market products emanating from such trials.

DATELINE: NEW YORK

SUDDENLY things are going badly for Wall Street, and they could soon get worse. As the market turns, business has dried up, especially the lucrative underwriting of initial public offerings (IPOs) of shares and advising on mergers and acquisitions. More ominously, in Washington, DC, politicians are sensing a growing appetite to punish somebody for the downturn, and Wall Street may be the ideal scapegoat, just as it has been before.

Worse still, Wall Street's political connections are weaker than they have been for years. During much of the 1990s Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin and Arthur Levitt, three Wall Streeters with long connections, oversaw the American--and arguably world--economy and markets, often chewing issues over during golfing outings. Mr Greenspan putts on, but otherwise the Bush administration is strikingly lacking in Wall Street contacts.

Wall Street is under fire in Congress for its role in the dotcom bubble. Several investment banks are being investigated for alleged abuses during IPOS, analysts are being criticised for acting as cheerleaders of worthless shares in Internet companies in order to win their firms new underwriting business. The issues, including the conflicts of interest potentially influencing Internet analysts such as Henry Blodget of Merrill Lynch and Mary Meeker of Morgan Stanley, are plainly set out in "The Pied Pipers of Wall Street". Benjamin Cole, a financial journalist, concludes that the Securities and Exchange Commission "has all but lost control of the game". Far-reaching regulatory reform may be needed.

There may be parallels with the 1930s, when, after the 1929 crash, politicians passed many of the Wall-Street-bashing, investor-friendly laws that govern America's markets today. Then, the public was outraged by the collapse of several investment pools that were aggressively marketed to novice investors, the most notable of which was the Goldman Sachs Trading Corporation. The investment bank that set up this fund made a fortune, but its reputation was damaged for decades.

It remains to be seen how badly Goldman will suffer in the clean-up after the dotcom bubble, in which it played its part. Strikingly, it became a public company at the height of the stockmarket excesses, ending more than 130 years as a partnership. Might the change to a public company have made it more focused on maximising its short-term value at the expense of its long-term value?

The Goldman story features in "The Last Partnerships", Charles Geisst's excellent follow-up to his earlier "Wall Street: A History". The author, a finance professor at Manhattan College, shows how Wall Street, after being chastened in the early 1930s, gradually turned aggressive again. The pressures of an expanding consumer society made their business structures increasingly obsolete, particularly their need to have more capital and to pay employees well without the long wait of becoming a partner. Indeed, most partnerships gave up before Goldman.

When the going gets tough, what better way to lift the spirits than with tales of heroes and villains past? There are plenty of both in "Wall Street People" by Charles Ellis of Greenwich Associates, a money management consultant. Many of the profiles have been published before and are rather old, though no worse for that. Among other surprises, it seems there was a time when George Soros was "reclusive" and "something of a mystery man".

Mr Ellis could usefully have provided more detail than his brief introductory notes to each profile, to help any readers not inside the Wall Street club. The new material he provides is generally fascinating--if only there were more of it. The colourful preface features a delightful cameo appearance by Helen Mann, of The Economist, and a description of a bored Ned Johnson, boss of the huge Fidelity mutual fund firm, floating wine glasses in the lighted pool in the middle of New York's Four Seasons restaurant. There are new profiles of Roy Neuberger, a brilliant investor who is still turning up at the office aged 98, and of John Weinberg and John Whitehead, the co-bosses of Goldman Sachs during its most admirable years.

On the desk of Mr Whitehead, who also trod the familiar path from lower Manhattan to Washington, serving as deputy secretary of state, sits a sign bearing the word "Excellence". This is something Wall Street could have used more of in the past and may soon need in abundance if it is to fight off those meddling politicians.

HEADLINE: (JOHN CLAYTON AT LARGE) Scrapbook is a treasure of sports history

I clean out my basement, I find old bottles and paint cans and cobwebs and clothing that went out of style during the Kennedy administration.

Herb Kopf Jr. cleans out his father's basement and he finds sports history.

Much of that history is contained in a brittle scrapbook.

It's more of a treasure chest, filled as it is with newspaper clippings and pictures and letters and telegrams and ticket stubs.  Most of the clippings are about his father, Herb Kopf Sr., but there's also stuff about his uncles and his aunts who, collectively, made up one of the more remarkable families in American sports.

Personally, I would have been satisfied telling you the story about how his father was the on-field messenger for the Cincinnati Reds.

The reason?  Mostly because he was there with the Reds at Comiskey Park when they beat the Chicago White Sox to clinch the 1919 World Series which, if you follow the game, put Herb Kopf Sr.  in the midst of one of the jaw-dropping stories in the history of American sports.

Being able to tell people that Herb's father was there in uniform for the "Black Sox Series" -- tainted as it was by gambling allegations against eight of the White Sox players-- would qualify as "holy cow" stuff.

But there's so much more.

"He saw a lot," said Herb Jr.  "He did a lot, too."

We were in the dining room of his house in Amherst.  The table was covered with folders and cuttings and dog-eared photographs, and just as we were surrounded by memorabilia, so too were we enveloped in the musty smell of storage.

I love that smell.

I love that smell almost as much as I love baseball and baseball permeates the Kopf family history.  Herb's uncle Willard pitched with St.  Paul in the old American Association.  His uncle Wally left Dartmouth for a cup of coffee with the New York (Baseball) Giants -- lifetime average: .333, but that was in three at-bats -- and the only reason Herb's father was in uniform with the Reds is because his uncle Larry was the shortstop for the World Champs.

Not a bad calling card.

Wonder if anyone in your family can top this anecdote.

It's May 2, 1917.  The Reds are playing the Cubs.  Fred Toney has a no-hitter after nine innings.  So does Hippo Vaughn, who's pitching for the Cubs.  In the 10th, Jim Thorpe puts down a bunt -- yes, that Jim Thorpe -- and Larry Kopf scores from third to win a 1-0 game that Sports Illustrated ranked among the best of the 20th Century.

They ranked it No.  9.

The cataclysmic 1986 Red Sox-Mets Game Six was No.  8.

If that's all there were in the way of memories in Herb's scrapbook, I could have walked away happy.  I could have fleshed out the family's baseball legacy with stories about how Herb's father had to change his name so he could play semi-pro baseball when he was in prep school, but something happened on his way to the Major Leagues by way of Washington and Jefferson College.

The college dropped its baseball program.

"So my father had to focus on football," said Herb Jr.  "His coach said it was the best thing that ever happened to the football program at Washington and Jefferson."

The only problem was that Herb couldn't tell his parents.

The guy weighed 153 pounds.  He had no business playing football, let alone starting at both offensive and defensive end.

He could have kept it all a secret too, except he caught this touchdown pass at Forbes Field to beat a local rival, 7-0 -- it was the University of Pittsburgh coached by the legendary Pop Warner -- which pretty much made headlines all across the country.

His parents forgave him.

It turned out to be quite a year for Herb Kopf.  Little Washington and Jefferson plowed through some major opponents like West Virginia and Lehigh and by the end of the season, the unbeaten upstarts had been invited to this little game out in California.

It was the Rose Bowl.

"My father was the first freshman ever to play in a Rose Bowl game," said Herb Jr.  "He weighed 153 pounds and he played every play.  They only played 11 guys the whole game.  They all played every play."

They played well.

Their opponent was the University of California.  A year earlier, the Golden Bears had crushed Ohio State 28-0, so the unbeaten "Wonder Bears," as they had been dubbed, were expected to crush the mysterious visitors from the east.

The game ended in a 0-0 tie.

Washington and Jefferson was the toast of the sporting press that off-season, and that single season could have stood as a crowning achievement, but Herb was just getting started.

Beginning his sophomore season, it was Herb, not the quarterback, who called the plays for W&J.  That same year -- here's a football footnote for you -- he scored the first non-kicking conversion in college football history.  It came at an opportune time, too, seeing as it lifted the Jeffs past Lafayette, 14-13, at the Polo Grounds.

By the time his time was up there, Herb Kopf -- all 153 pounds of him -- was a Walter Camp All-America pick.

"All his weight was brains," said coach Earl "Greasy" Neale.

Those brains took him to Georgetown Law School.  In between classes, he took a job as an assistant to football coach Lou Little.  They were together for 13 years, mentor and pupil.  They moved together from Georgetown to Columbia, where Herb got to revisit the Rose Bowl in a 7-0 win over Stanford, until he set out on his own as coach and athletic director at Manhattan College.

At Manhattan, Herb Kopf was the toast of the town.  He was a sportswriter's dream.  He was smart and funny and articulate and he could coach a little, too.  Besides, he let his son serve as the Jaspers team mascot, right down to the green jersey -- No.  1 -- with the silver satin pants and the helmet to match.

"I went everywhere with my Dad," Herb Jr.  said.  "He had passes to the Yankees and the Giants and ringside seats at Madison Square Garden.  We went everywhere."

Including Boston.

That's where Herb's father went in 1944.  The National Football League placed a franchise there -- the Boston Yanks -- and Herb Kopf Sr.  was hired as the team's first coach.  The owner was Ted Collins, whose primary occupation was to manage the career of songstress Kate Smith.

"We were always afraid," said one player, "that Kate would get a sore throat and we wouldn't get paid."

Herb had more to worry about, like the meddling owner.  In his third season, he had a police officer forcibly remove Collins from the sideline. Soon thereafter, Collins removed Herb from the sidelines, but he had no regrets.

"My dad wasn't going to put up with it," Herb Jr.  said.  "He wasn't a limelight guy and Ted Collins was this famous radio and TV guy.  My dad had no use for that kind of flair.  He was used to dealing with Jesuits and kids.  All he wanted to do was coach."

And coach he did.  He took a job as an assistant, first at Boston College, later at Brandeis and he kept his family in the Boston area.

"Ted Williams lived right down the street," said Herb Jr.  "We used to go watch him tie flies.  Bill Callahan -- (as in the Callahan Tunnel) -- "lived next door to us.  My father used to drive all over New England doing coaching clinics.  We'd go up to Maine all the time with Johnny Pesky.  All those old coaches, they loved working with kids.  It was so different in those days."

Those days are alive in the scrapbook.

Herb's father passed away five years ago, but his spirit is still alive thanks to a book filled with clippings and pictures and notes from notables like Thomas E.  Dewey and letters from legends like Fiorello LaGuardia and Grantland Rice.

A book like that makes time stand still.

Herb Kopf Jr.  is thankful his father took the time.  So is his son, Herb Kopf III.  And one day, Herb Kopf IV -- who was born just yesterday -- will feel the same way.

PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM YOUR MAILING LIST ASAP!  

THANK YOU FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION!

[JR: Dear Jasper Marie, Please don't yell at me. I'm just doing the best I can. According to the listbot software, there is no "Marie Arace @ your address" on the list. Are you using a redirector or did you subscribe under a different name? May I inquire as to why you are leaving us? Thanks for your patience, John]

I'm sorry that I yelled, this was my second request!

I originally subscribed for Robert Petrocine; he would like to stay on the list. My E mail address is in lower case, please try that.

I am the assistant to Bob Petrocine and I will be able to veiw it through his E mail.

Thanks

[JR: You are NOT on the list in either Upper or Lower case. He is. Are you sure that the message is not being automatically copied to you on your end? ]

Subject: FOG

John,

Just read Tom Cahill's note about FOG.  Although I never considered myself a member, I often sat and talked with many of the FOG guys in the cafeteria in Thomas Hall.  It was quite an irreverent group, but we had lots of laughs.  I looked in the 1966 yearbook and on page 195 (it's unnumbered; you have to go to page 197 and count back) there is a photo and write-up on the group.

Of those in the photo, I recognize John and Jim Elliott, Gerry Armendinger, Dan Palese and George Auger.

It's interesting that you also went to Good Shepherd (along with Tom Cahill and me).  I attended grades 1-6 there from 1950-1956 and lived on the corner of Seaman Avenue and 207th Street, right across from the playground and just around the corner from the school.

On a personal note, I'm happy to report the birth of our grand-daughter, Olivia Paige Tyniec on May 2nd.

Keep up the good work; it's a pleasure to read Jasper Jottings every week.

Best regards,
Jack Tyniec A&S '66

[JR: Done but why?]

Why?

I get nothing out of it.

Lots of stuff I have no interest in and don't read.

I appreciate your effort, but I get too much email I do not read.

Something more directed to the class of 1964 Engineers, I might read.

Thanks again,
Vince Bello

COPYRIGHTS

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.

PRIVACY

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.

DISCLAIMER

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.

QUALIFICATION

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.

CONNECTING

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.

REQUESTING YOUR PARTICIPATION

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.

INVITING ANY JASPERS

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.

PROBLEMS

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.
