ALL BOILER PLATE is at the end.
Signing off for this week.
In a web article at http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/9/5/213432.shtml, David C. Solinsky provokes some thought with “If all human life isn't sacred, none is. Intermediate positions are weak and are being overrun one by one. Who deserves to remain alive then becomes merely a matter of opinion.” Scary as it sounds, one must think of the government programs of genocide. Bush’s stem cell decision was the first thing I have seen in long long time where principles were even considered. IMHO, we need to push our values like we learned at Manhattan before the situation worsens.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Although not me, it's definitely newsworthy to note that Class of 1996 Jaspers, Kristin Mohan & Richard Broderick, were engaged in August. They are planning an August 2002 wedding.
[JR: Well please extend to them our collective best wishes. It’s nice to see people observe the formalities of life. I remember when engagements were formal things with: a small party, pre-Cana that had an written exam which was just slightly better than one of Father Ritter’s “explain the <insert your favorite esoteric theological concept> in light of Danny Lou’s work” {I forget who Danny Lou was but he was in every quiz!], saving money for stuff, meeting all the relatives on both sides, planning the wedding, and especially being on one’s best behavior lest the Bride’s family decide that you weren’t in the girls best interest. It didn’t happen to me but I knew a couple of cases where it did. In today’s climate that seems to have all gone over the side. I wish them the best.]

HEADLINE: EMC Dishes Out a Little More TLC
BYLINE: By Faith Keenan in Hopkinton, Mass.
As times get tough, the hard-driving data-storage outfit has been softening its sales approach
Kurt Wong never read EMC Corp.'s sales bids from front to back. The data- storage outfit's typical 50-page pitch was so much longer than other bids that Wong, director of storage engineering at Visa International, would skip to the last page, to the price, which was always two to three times as high as the lowest bid. When EMC realized that Wong was ignoring its marketing spiel, it started burying the figure in the middle of the proposals. Even more irritating was the accompanying arrogance. ''It was a take-it-or-leave-it attitude without directly saying so. Like: 'You're stupid if you don't take this,''' says Wong. Still, take it Wong did. At that time, EMC was miles ahead of its rivals in storage technology. Not anymore. Competitors IBM and Hitachi Data Systems are offering storage systems that are just as good as EMC's. And customers are only too happy to switch to rivals that can offer reliable storage for a reasonable price -- without the high-handed attitude. Wong, for instance, bought storage from IBM last year for the first time in several years. Big Blue now supplies about 25% of his storage systems, up from next to nothing a year ago, while EMC's share has dropped from 80% last year to 60%. Hannaford Brothers Co., a supermarket chain in Scarborough, Me., bought from IBM in December for the first time in eight years. ''[It] was less expensive, had better performance, and was easier to manage,'' says Bill Homa, Hannaford's chief information officer. ''[EMC is] facing real competition for the first time in years.''
The change couldn't have come at a worse time. With the collapse of many dot-coms and telecom companies, the storage market is expected to be flat this year, at about $ 30 billion, compared with 16% growth last year, according to market researcher Gartner Dataquest. That has EMC fighting off a growing number of rivals just as the market is stagnating. The double whammy is taking its toll: EMC, which had been growing at an average annual clip of 37% since 1995, posted its first year-over-year revenue decline in 48 quarters in the period ended June 30. Revenues slid 6% in the second quarter, to $ 2.15 billion, while net income dropped 75%, to $ 109 million. EMC's stock has plummeted to $ 17 -- off more than 80% since its September, 2000, peak.
Now, Joseph M. Tucci, who took over as chief executive from longtime CEO Michael C. Ruettgers in January, is shaking things up. His biggest challenge: getting a company that has a long tradition of going it alone to work more effectively with others, including its customers, companies that resell its products, and even its rivals. For example, he wants to sell more storage products through resellers to lower overhead, which ballooned to 31% of revenues in the second quarter, up from 24% a year earlier. That means the direct-sales force, which used to try to swipe business from resellers, needs to cooperate with companies such as Eastman Kodak Co., which sells EMC's storage to hospital X-ray departments along with Kodak imaging equipment. To accomplish that, EMC sales reps now receive fatter commissions than they used to get if they sell through a partner.
The cooperation won't end there. Tucci wants EMC services, such as consulting on storage systems, to increase to 20% of revenues in 2003, up from 7% last year. To get there, EMC will sell its services alongside tech consultants, such as Electronic Data Systems. And, in a dramatic break with past practices, EMC is starting to make software that will drive the storage gear of competing hardware makers for the first time. The first software program, which lets a customer coordinate storage cabinets from a variety of hardware companies from one control center, was introduced a few months ago. This initiative requires EMC programmers to work with rivals to make sure EMC's software runs on their hardware smoothly. FINE LINE. Tucci is trying to infuse EMC's culture with a dose of humility. He's coaching the sales staff and other employees to drop the smugness that alienated customers like Wong. He's also reducing the number of accounts salespeople handle and cutting their quotas to encourage them to spend more time with big customers. ''It's the old rule: Treat others how you want to be treated,'' he says. The company has even fired people who get too cocky. ''You've got to weed out the rotten ones,'' Tucci says. ''I hate arrogance. I just hate it.''
The trick will be to change EMC's culture just enough to hold on to its customers without losing the aggressive spirit that made the 22-year-old company the leader in the storage market. For example, EMC needs to walk a fine line between selling its software widely and giving away the technology that makes its products unique. ''On paper, it's the way to go,'' says analyst James D. Poyner Jr. of C.E. Unterberg, Towbin. ''Politically, it may be difficult.''
Tucci, who joined EMC in January, 2000, and became CEO a year later, may be just the person to revamp EMC. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., he graduated from Manhattan College and got an MBA from Columbia University. In 1993, he led Wang Laboratories Inc. out of bankruptcy and transformed the company from a hardware seller into a software and services provider. In 1999, he sold Wang to Getronics, a Dutch tech-services company, netting a cool $ 2 billion for his shareholders. Ruettgers spent four months recruiting him to EMC because Ruettgers felt no exec inside EMC had the experience to run the company. In his first 90 days, Tucci built the foundation for EMC's consulting business, which is becoming a substantial revenue producer.
Tucci has proved his toughness in personnel matters too. In April, he moved Mike Ruffolo, the head of sales, services, and marketing, into an internal consulting job because Tucci felt the business wasn't clicking. He gave responsibility for sales and services to Frank M. Hauck, an 11-year EMC veteran who had never sold a storage box -- but had built up a world-class service network. Ruffolo left in July to join Akamai, an Internet company. ''When your team is not doing what you want it to do, you just make changes,'' says Tucci.
Changing the culture at EMC will take more than a little turnover in the executive suite. The company has fostered a hyperaggressive environment. One way it has done that is by filling its sales ranks with blue-collar men who played sports. Each year, the top execs pumped up the sales team at a pep kickoff in January. At one, the executive team showed clips from the movie Apollo 13. The scene: The chief NASA engineer puts a bunch of engineers in a room, hands them some parts, and gives them an hour to find a way to bring the astronauts home alive. The message became a mantra at EMC: Failure was not an option. ''If 6,000 people are being told failure is not an option, not an option, not an option right up to the end, they say: 'I'm going to figure out how to do this,''' says a former EMC executive. ''The culture just doesn't look at reality. It can't see reality.''
Some analysts suggest that that culture blinded management to the tech downturn and hurt its credibility on Wall Street. As other tech companies ran into troubles earlier this year, EMC execs remained upbeat about the company's performance. Back at the beginning of the year, they insisted EMC would boost revenues 25% to 35% from the $ 8.9 billion last year. In April, EMC lowered the revenue growth guidance, but only to 20%. It wasn't until July that the company conceded it didn't have a clue how it would do for the year -- months after other tech companies. ''They tend to have a view that there's no reason they shouldn't be able to cause something to happen,'' says analyst Laura Conigliaro of Goldman, Sachs & Co.
EMC insists that it's changing. Besides giving salespeople fewer accounts and lower quotas, managers are visiting customers with reps to help close deals. ''It's a little bit more teamwork,'' says Hauck. Customers are beginning to notice the change. Visa's Wong, for example, says he's getting more TLC from the company these days. EMC assigned him a special account manager so Visa doesn't have to compete for attention with other accounts. ''He's very good,'' says Wong, although he won't say whether he'll give EMC more business. ''CAN WE HELP?'' Stephen Bold may be a prototype of the more accommodating EMC sales rep. The avid golfer and weight lifter now drives his used Mercedes to just three accounts outside Boston, down from nine last year. The other six accounts have been passed to another member of EMC's 6,000-person sales force. Bold can't seem to do enough for his clients. A huge opportunity looms at telecom carrier CTC Communications Group Inc., based in Waltham, Mass.: a new data center the company will use to provide storage services for customers. ''Challenge us,'' he tells Jeffrey C. Lavin, vice-president for marketing at CTC. ''Just let us know what you need.'' The message is the same at Tufts Health Plan, another major client. ''Can we help?'' Bold asks one morning in August, as Robert Bimmler, a systems manager at Tufts, recounts how he's under more pressure to better justify tech spending.
Back at the office, Bold makes a phone call to arrange the catering for an upcoming Saturday softball game. Techies from EMC's Internet Services Group are playing their counterparts at Staples. Will EMC be nice and let the customer win? ''No,'' says Bold. ''We play to....'' He stops abruptly. But he clearly means to say win. EMC hasn't lost its drive. It's just toned down the swagger that used to go with it.
New Boss, New Plan
Tough times have forced storage giant EMC to change its ways. Here's how its new CEO, Joseph Tucci, is trying to overhaul the business:
LOSE THE SWAGGER
In the boom years, EMC charged more than rivals -- and treated customers as if they were lucky to get EMC gear. Now, as demand dries up, Tucci & Co. are pushing a humbler approach. They're coaching salespeople to be nicer and reducing the number of accounts that reps handle so they can offer better service.
USE THE CHANNEL
While EMC's direct-sales force used to compete aggressively against partners that sold EMC gear, Tucci now wants to emphasize selling through partners to lower expenses. But it's not clear that the resellers that got beat up by EMC's sales force for years will become strong advocates for the company.
SELL THE SOFTWARE
EMC used to sell its storage software only with EMC hardware. Now, Tucci plans to offer software to customers who will use it with hardware from rivals. The goal is for software to contribute more than 30% of revenues in 2003, up from 16% last year. Selling software alone, however, may erode EMC's competitive advantage.
BUILD UP SERVICES
Services, such as consulting on storage systems, made up 7% of EMC's revenues in 2000, and Tucci wants to boost that to 20% by 2003. To get there, he's upping the services staff by 50%, to 2,000, in the next year and is recruiting more partners to help offer a full range of services.

Subject: Jasper newsletter
Allow me to introduce myself. I am John Henry, Manhattan grad 1964 from the School of Arts. Since graduation I have maintained more than a passing interest in all things Manhattan from athletics to academics recruiting, to applications to admissions to building plans, etc. Even the so called minor sports have not escaped my scrutiny or interest. My outlook on life rises and falls to some extent on the successes and failures of the school, it's teams, recruiting or lack of it.
Through the years I have maintained friendships with many Manhattan men and attended a good number of games. My two best friends are Father Cullinane and Pierce Power. Father is the chaplain for the school and it's athletic teams Hardly a week goes by that we do not call each other to discuss Manhattan's activities, players, coaches and and analyze game results.
Pierce has been a friend as long as I can remember and we are talking decades. He recently told me about your newsletter and I am inquiring as to how I might get on your distribution list. Father does not have a computer so I would share whatever I read with him. He also knows and speaks with the coaches from time to time and gains some insights into what is happening behind the scenes which may be of some interest to you and your readers.
I am happy to learn of the newsletter and look forward to having an opportunity to read those that have already been published as well as those that are published in the future. Look forward to hearing from you at <Privacy invoked>.

[JR: <1> Hello. <2> “My outlook on life rises” I'll have to introduce you to my cousin, Pete Sweeney. He too lives on the rises and falls of Jasper basketball. I, on the other hand, am merely a collector of Jasper "findings". <3> “get on your distribution list” Well, thanks to him, I am glad you found us. I've put you on the weekly distribution. <4> “speaks with the coaches” Sure, you can be our sports reporter. <5> “read those that have already been published” You are more than welcome to see the weekly distribution but when the free service I was using went to "pay", I lost my archive that was kept for me. As soon as I have time, I am going to look into replacing it.]

Hi John,
Can you please put an announcement on your site that Career Services is holding their annual Career Fair on Wednesday, October 24th.? Since the job market may be very tight this year any participation by our Alumni would be just wonderful. Those interested in signing up should contact Pat Wallace at 71862-7421 or at pwallace@manhatan.edu
Also, we have now signed up with MonsterTRAK.com for posting our jobs on line. If anyone has positions for undergraduates and/or alumni they should be posted there. Just got to www.MonsterTRAK.com and follow the directions for posting a job.
Thanks.

Dear John:
1. Grolsch violations indeed !!! I wasn’t aware that Libertarians were punsters, also.
2. The attempted stabbing occurred because my regular Supervisor suddenly retired. Now, if this statement makes no sense, behold the machinations of the BoE, NYC: When the Special Education Supervisor of 30 years or so retired, she left no Assistant Supervisor because the BoE did not think one was needed. They had provided her with an Administrative Assistant, (Acting) which was a fancy name for a Secretary/Clerk. With the greatest of ease and insane leger-de-main, the School Chancellor (we do not have a Superintendent of Schools any more) appointed my supervisor’s secretary/clerk to be the supervisor of the Bronx Special Education establishment. Instantly, all the teachers in the Bronx began to get rid of their troublesome children by recommending that they be placed in Special Education classes. John was a ‘bad’, not a ‘sick’, if I may use short words for the big words describing these 2 young people. Howard did not do what John, a ‘hood’ trying to establish his own control over my class, told him to do. John picked up a screwdriver from the shop table and was in the process of attempting to remove Howard’s intestines. I was on the other side of the shop table and vaulted over same to prevent the colonectomy. As I cleared the table, my left knee struck the edge just beside the kneecap, temporarily paralyzing the leg – like striking your ‘funny bone’ in the elbow. I was able to reach John and shove him down, while falling over my knee and tearing it to shreds. Howard just stood there while John jumped up and bellowed at me that I had no right to interfere with him. In more than 34 years of teaching I never struck a child with a closed fist until that day. On one leg, I took aim and laid John out with a left hook. Since John was still waving the screwdriver around, I was merely defending myself against an assault. John was removed, my orthopod took pictures of my knee after injecting a dye which turned the inside of my knee white while the torn fragments of my knee wiggled around looking like black spagetti on a plate of white cream sauce. It took awhile to heal, as no operation was contemplated since no guarantee was forthcoming. My orthopod performed the same operation on a youngster on the BC football team some years later. You may have heard of him, his name was Flutie, I believe. John’s step-father was not amused by John’s actions and John ceased to be a problem. Some years later, I heard thar John was attending the Bronx HS of Science while Howard was still in a class for Emotionally Handicapped Children. Now you know why so many teachers don’t give a damn any more and why they have to hire non-English speaking teachers to teach in NYC these days. No one else is stupid enough to take the job !

[JR: <1> “Ls” can’t have a sense of humor? <2>Sounds like you were more at rtisk teaching than on the front line. At least, you expect to get it at the front. <3> Us L think it’s not the government’s job to educate children. Parents always have had that responsibility. Now, we might need time to transition back to that model. So, for a time, the state might pay something towards the education of children. But, run it! Amazing that we expect more from a McDonalds than we do a school.]

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.
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, 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. Fax can be accommodated but it has to be scheduled. Or, you can USMail it to me at 3 Tyne Court Kendall Park, NJ 08824.
Feel free to invite other Jaspers to join us by dropping me an email.
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.
A Final Thought
"People do not live in the present always, at one with it. They live at all kinds of and manners of distance from it, as difficult to measure as the course of planets. Fears and traumas make their journeys slanted, peripheral, uneven, evasive."
