The news after this comment.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=27614
"We could start by equipping our warriors with a replacement for the piece of Beretta pistol junk that jams almost when you look at it. They also sorely need a new rifle, boot, flak jacket, web gear and a mechanized system to lighten their load. If the pols pushed away from the pork table, went out in field and checked out what our kids have to use while fighting for our country, they'd find out in a hurry that they now go into battle with basically the same kit their fathers and grandfathers wore and toted in Vietnam."
The politicians were turned away from their pork dinner by Rummy killing a neat but unneeded weapon. I can't give them a better pistol. Although my personal M1911 45 "urban youth discouragement device" does yeoman's duty and seldom jams. I have never had one jam on me in my very limited experience. When I was an armed escort to an officer carrying classified documents in Washington as a fill in, (My instructions were "Now for God's sake if you shoot something make sure it is yourself!"), there wasn't much need to fire. On the range, jams are mostly due to worn out equipment.
On Sunday night's "The Practice", the last scene shows Lindsey Dole -- the petite demure lawyer wife -- make good on her promise to a threatening serial killer who violates a restraining order and appears at her door threatening her. After some threatening chit chat, she draws her weapon, presents, and puts two where it will do the most good. The weapon appeared to be a M1911 class weapon. That's a big gun for a small framed woman. Everyone is shocked! Not me. I am appalled! We were taught don't draw unless you were prepared to fire; ok so far. But, then she only fired twice. We were taught to fire until the target was down. He was still standing when she stopped firing. (Plus two 45s in the "center" would have probably him into the NEXT apartment. And the holes were so small! And the noise so "quiet" -- at the range you better wear ear protection.) After he went down, she then proceeded to just place her weapon down, turn her back, and walk away. We were taught to always "safe" the weapon before we left it alone. That to me would have required her to drop the clip, eject the shell in the chamber, and lock the weapon open. But it's TV! If more woman would take care of themselves, then maybe restraining orders would have more clout. I would certainly make it "open season" on violators of restraining orders. I would never charge the woman for defending herself. If the order is 500 feet and the violator is shot within that zone, I would thank the woman for assisting the court in "enforcing" the order. If the body drops at 501 feet, then I would admonish the shooter to do better range checking next time.
As I say, I don't have much to say from a technical point of view.
On a political point of view, I will tonight write to the Congress-critters and ask them why some one would write this? If true, when was the last time they followed the author's advice. If not true, then why does it sounds so true?
I guess the only real thing that I can do is hassle the critters and say a prayer for their safe return. I urge all to do the same.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.
"Collector-in-chief" John

"The Lord is my light and my salvation: Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraidwait on the Lord: Be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I Say, on the Lord!"
Psalms 27:1 & 14
Vincent G. McAloon
March 4, 1910 - May 9, 2002
Vincent Ferrer Gerard McAloon, 92, died after a long illness on Thursday, May 9, in Dujarie House, Notre Dame, Ind.
He was born March 4, 1910, in Pawtucket, R.I., the son of Vincent J. and Mary Agnes McAloon, and one of three sons and two daughters, of whom he and a brother, Albert J. McAloon of Middletown, R.I., are the last survivors. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
He attended public and private schools in Pawtucket (St. Mary's Parochial School and St. Raphael Academy, Brothers of the Christian Schools), then studied at Manhattan College, New York City, Catholic University, Washington, D.C., and the University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Ind.
At Notre Dame, the generous-spirited Vince immediately absorbed the family atmosphere and became active at the request of Fr. John F. O'Hara, prefect of religion and later cardinal archbishop of Philadelphia, in organizing the St. Vincent Depaul Society and the Third Order of St. Francis on campus. After postgraduate studies in child-care work, Vince made Notre Dame his base and traveled on behalf of the Third Order and Catholic Action.
Vince was with the Army in Europe during World War II from 1943-45, and was among the first allies to enter Rome. He returned there in 1950, a Holy Year, having walked as a pilgrim from Fatima in Portugal to the Holy City. He then directed U.S.O. service clubs in Rome and Okinawa, once more returning to Rome in 1955 to join the teaching faculty at the newly established Notre Dame International School, conducted by the Brothers of Holy Cross. He remained in Rome for 36 years, working at the school and serving as both official and informal host for the Notre Dame Club of Rome. He greeted and otherwise entertained thousands of Notre Dame alumni and friends over the years, often from the Neapolitan restaurant, the Scogilo di Frisio.
In Rome, Vince became a true factotum and was known for being able to do or obtain almost anything needed. His service to the international school community was invaluable, including unlocking the mysteries of "the Roman way."
He was honored several times by the Notre Dame Alumni Association, and in 1976 he received the Sorin Award for voluntary service through his hospitality center.
Vince, a longtime member of the Third Order of St. Francis, was accorded full honorary membership in the Franciscan Order in 1971. In 1998, after retiring at the brothers' Columba Hall, Notre Dame, Vince was made an honorary life member of the Eastern Province of the Brothers of Holy Cross. Though a layman, he was as truly a brother as the religious with whom he worked and lived. His deep, habitual spirituality showed in everything he undertook to be or to do. While residing at Columba Hall, he served on the team of tour guides at Sacred Heart Basilica and the Log Chapel until poor health forced his move to Dujarie House, the brothers' infirmary.
Visitation will be held in Sacred Heart Basilica on the campus of Notre Dame beginning at 1 p.m. on Monday, May 13.
A Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated at 3:30 p.m. Monday, with burial to follow at Cedar Grove Cemetery, Notre Dame.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the St. Joseph Center Memorial Fund, 85 Overlook Circle, New Rochelle, NY 10804-4501.
The Kaniewski Funeral Home is handling arrangements.

Pawtucket
VINCENT FERRER GERARD McALOON, 92, of Dujarie House, Notre Dame, Ind., formerly of Pawtucket, a retired teacher and honorary member of the Eastern Province of the Brothers of the Holy Cross, died Thursday at Dujarie House, Notre Dame, after an illness.
Born in Pawtucket on March 4, 1910, he was a son of the late Vincent J. and Mary Agnes McAloon.
He was a graduate of St. Raphael Academy, Manhattan College, New York City, Catholic University, Washington, D.C., and the University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Ind.
Mr. McAloon was an Army veteran of World War II. He served from 1943 to 1945 and was among the first of the Allies to enter Rome. He returned there in 1950, a Holy Year, having walked as a pilgrim from Fatima in Portugal to the Holy City.
He then directed USO service clubs in Rome and Okinawa, returning to Rome again in 1955 to teach at the newly established Notre Dame International School, conducted by the Brothers of Holy Cross.
He remained in Rome for 36 years, working at the school and serving as both official and informal host for the Notre Dame Club in Rome. He was honored several times by the Notre Dame Alumni Association, and received the Sorin Award in 1976 for voluntary service through his hospitality center.
He was a longtime member of the Third Order of St. Francis and was accorded full honorary membership in the Franciscan Order in 1971. In 1998, after retiring at the brothers' Columba Hall, Notre Dame, he was made an honorary life member of the Eastern Province of the Brothers of Holy Cross.
While residing at Columba Hall, he served on the team of tour guides at Sacred Heart Basilica and the Log Chapel until poor health forced his move to Dujarie House, the brothers' infirmary.
He leaves a brother, Albert J. McAloon of Middletown, and several nieces and nephews.
A Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. in Sacred Heart Basilica, on the campus of Notre Dame. Burial will be in Cedar Grove Cemetery, Notre Dame.

HEADLINE: Cemetery buries floral tribute to son
BYLINE: Fred Lebrun
"Jimmy adored flowers," Anastasia Tunny said firmly with a half smile, as if this were the last word in an important argument.
Normally a timid woman, Tacy, as her friends call her, has found the nerve and heart over the past few of her 68 years to fight for what she fervently believes is a righteous cause.
Bringing living flowers to her departed son.
Jimmy was her first born. He was 34 when he died in 1992 of AIDS, in agony. He's buried beneath an inky black headstone with a Celtic cross in the family plot at St. Agnes Cemetery in Menands. The cemetery made famous in Bill Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, "Ironweed."
At first she was overwhelmed with grief, paralyzed. All Tacy could muster was to visit the grave every day and cry her heart out. Eventually, as the consuming pain of grief yielded to the dull ache of constant memories, Tacy knew what she had to do. Her first plantings in 1996 in front of the headstone were a few geraniums surrounded by sweet alyssum. A miniature white marble angel on top of the stone looked down appreciatively. As summer waned, she replaced those with a more elaborate arrangement of mums.
By the next year, the little flower bed was full of pink geraniums, ringed by blue argentum accented by red cedar mulch. Twin dwarf Alberta spruces stood knee-high on either side of the headstone in a compact memorial garden.
For four peaceful years, Tacy Tunny buried her sorrows with a trowel in the soft earth where Jimmy was buried. Once a week, she spent as much time as it took to tend every tendril.
Then came the letter Tacy had been dreading, certified mail. Rule number one at St. Agnes posted everywhere is "not permitted: plantings of any kind." She was given until the end of the season to rip it all out, which Tacy did except for the spruces. Then she began her campaign.
She entered into a spirited written dialogue with Andrew Linehan, the manager of St. Agnes; Rick Touchette, manager of diocesan cemeteries in the Albany Roman Catholic Diocese; Bishop Howard Hubbard; the bishop's liaison for the cemeteries, the Rev. John Connolly. They told her about uniformity, fairness to others following the rules, and how unkempt flower beds would be unsightly and a headache for the small staff.
She countered that some very large cemeteries allow plantings. Don't they have to maintain them? She suggested every plot holder be made responsible for any plantings. One strike and you're out. But St. Agnes didn't buy it. She did manage to get the cemetery board to review the existing policy. But all it did was confirm the rule.
Although it did offer to move her son to a new part of St. Agnes, where plantings will be allowed.
To which she responded, no thanks. But if you can allow plantings of real flowers in the new part, why not the old?
"Because the policy in the old part of the cemetery goes back at least 50 years. It wouldn't be fair to the other plot holders," Touchette says.
So on the one hand, those running the cemetery are arguing quite reasonably and respectfully the needs of the maintenance staff and rules.
On the other, a petite, fragile woman faces another Mother's Day at her son's grave.
Somewhere in the middle is the fading vision of why St. Agnes exists at all.
"I remember the night my son came home from Manhattan College, sat on the edge of his bed, and told me he was gay. It was like a knife in my heart. When he became sick, I felt so completely helpless. I loved him, I still love him. He was my son.
"All I could do was bring him flowers."

NAME: Edward Michael Carey

HEADLINE: Edward Carey, 85, Oil Executive And Brother's Campaign Backer
BYLINE: By PAUL LEWIS
Edward M. Carey, an oil industry executive who helped finance the political ambitions of his younger brother Hugh L. Carey, the former governor of New York, died on Sunday in Manhattan. He was 85.
After founding the Peerless Oil and Chemical Company with his father in the late 1930's, Edward Carey started the New England Petroleum Corporation in the early 1940's. It became one of the nation's biggest privately owned petroleum refining and marketing companies. The company specialized in supplying petroleum products to East Coast electrical utilities, but also had interests in shipping as well as in oil exploration and production in North Africa, the Persian Gulf and the North Sea.
New England Petroleum's success enabled Mr. Carey to become a big financial contributor to his brother's gubernatorial campaign, after Hugh Carey decided to end a 14-year career as a United States representative from Brooklyn and run for governor of New York. He served two terms, from 1975 to 1982, and now lives in Manhattan.
In 1968, Edward Carey joined forces with Standard Oil of California to establish the Bahamas Oil Refining Company, which built and operated a $60 million refinery in the Bahamas. The refinery processed low-sulfur oil from Standard Oil's Libyan concession. New England Petroleum then sold this oil mainly to utilities in the Northeast, which were under pressure from the environmental lobby to reduce pollution by burning cleaner fuels.
However, the Bahamas venture, which was largely financed by Standard Oil, got into difficulties after the oil-price explosion of 1973, when Libya also nationalized its foreign-held oil concessions.
The result was a falloff in oil supplies to the refinery, as Standard Oil contested the Libyan move and a series of disputes between Mr. Carey and the giant oil company were further aggravated by the complex regulations the United States put in force to deal with the effects of rising worldwide oil prices.
In a significant earlier offshore move, Mr. Carey founded the Commonwealth Oil Refining Company in Puerto Rico in 1953 under the so-called Operation Bootstrap development program for the island. The company ran a refinery and petrochemical plant at Ponce.
Despite predictions his business would fail as a result of the difficulties in the Bahamas, and accusations that he had used his brother's political influence in Washington to obtain favorable treatment for his companies, Mr. Carey struggled on until 1979, when he sold his remaining oil businesses to the Charter Company of Jacksonville, Fla.
Edward Michael Carey was born Oct. 12, 1916, in Brooklyn. He was a graduate of Saint Augustine's High School and attended Manhattan College and Saint John's University. In 1941 he married the former Elizabeth Ann Sullivan, who died in 2000.
He is survived by his son, Edward C. Carey of Point Lookout, N.Y., and his daughters, Diane Cunningham of Point Lookout, and Jane Haswell of Apex, N.C.

Editor's Report
A Jasper Tradition
By ANNE BUCKLEY
Manhattan College in the Bronx is noted for a number of things, not least enduring among them the invention of the seventh-inning stretch. That goes back to 1882 when the varsity was playing a semipro team and Brother Jasper, the first athletic director, noticed the students in the stands getting restless. He called time out and ordered everybody up to stretch. It worked, and it still does, having spread to professional baseball. As for the wise Christian Brother who came up with the idea 118 years ago--why do you think today's Manhattan College teams are nicknamed the Jaspers?
Recently, I heard another Manhattan College story which deserves to be enshrined. Almost every single graduating class has had a priest among its alumni. Cardinal Patrick Hayes was Class of 1888. His friends at Manhattan included George Mundelein, who became the first Cardinal Archbishop of Chicago; Austin Dowling, the future Archbishop of St. Paul, and Joseph P. Donahue, who became an auxiliary bishop of New York and Cardinal Francis Spellman's vicar general.
"In 1865 it was a sort of junior seminary," Manhattan's president, Brother Thomas J. Scanlan, F.S.C., remarked when I asked him about the vocation history of the college. "In the 1920s half the priests in the archdiocese were Manhattan graduates," he said. "I got here in 1987 and it's a point of pride."
How does it happen? "I wish I knew," Brother Scanlan said. "We'd do more of it."
The list is long of New York priests who were undergraduates there. A random sampling: Auxiliary Bishop Patrick V. Ahern, a student in 1936 and '37; Msgr. Peter G. Finn, Class of '60; Father Jefferson Hammer, '55; Father Jack Arlotta, '72; Father Lawrence Paolicelli, '80.
Father Eugene Hamilton, who struggled with cancer and was ordained on his deathbed in 1997, was Class of '94.
The truth is, there are not great numbers of young men choosing seminary after college these days. "Each year, there is at least one ordination of a graduate," Brother Scanlan said. And more often than not, he is a man who has had a career, maybe for 15 years, before answering the call to priesthood. This year there were two: Father Frank Bassett, Class of '70, who was an aviation engineer, and James Beegan, '71, who was a stockbroker.
Brother Scanlan is happy that there are men from St. John Neumann Seminary Residence, the archdiocesan preseminary program, who are students at Manhattan and are a quiet reminder of the priesthood vocation.
Manhattan College has a strong religious studies program and a tradition of imparting values to its students, he said. But he sees the need for a different approach now than in the past. "We struggle to educate and show the values to the generation that has been exposed to the culture of today for 17 or 18 years when they come to us," he said. "They are searching. They are not interested in institutions. They are interested in doing good. There was a time when we met them in church. Now we are finding students interested in service. We meet them there, and then move to reflection."
The campus ministry program is active and creative in providing opportunities for service under Brother David Lee, F.S.C. Recently he took a group to South Africa where they did carpentry for people, taught kids, built a Web site. They were doing good...and reflecting on the value of giving oneself.
"We're dealing with the mystery of God," said Brother Scanlan.
Manhattan's "chronology of vocations," he said, "is a wonderful mark of achievement for the college, a contribution to the Church."
Maybe there's a kind of seventh-inning stretch going on in the vocation picture these days. But the De La Salle Christian Brothers are determined to continue the action.

FIERRO'S FIREWORKS LIFT JASPERS TO 10-9 VICTORY OVER SJU
Manhattan Rallies From Four Runs Down For 30th Win of Season
JAMAICA, NY - Freshman Eric Fierro (Levittown, NY) lined a pinch-hit two-run single to right-center in the top of the ninth and threw out Anthony DeRosa at second base for the final out in the bottom of the ninth as the Manhattan College baseball team held off the St. John's Red Storm 10-9 at The Ballpark. Manhattan rallied from four runs down to earn its 10th win a row and 30th win of the season, marking only the second time since the program's inception in 1903 that a Jasper team has won 30 games in a single season.
Manhattan took an early 2-0 lead in the top of the first when Chris Gaskin (Rego Park, NY) singled though the right side, scoring Gary Diaz (Naugatuck, CT) from second. Frank Cappello (Pelham, NY) also came around to score from first on a throwing error by the rightfielder. St. John's cut the deficit in half in its half of the first on an RBI-single by Charlie Bilezikjian. The Red Storm would then proceed to score two runs in each of the next three innings to assume a 7-3 lead.
After a scoreless fifth for both teams, Manhattan rallied for three runs on four hits and three Red Storm errors to pull to within 7-6. Sal Candela (Brooklyn, NY) drove in a run with a double down the right field line and came around to score the fifth Jasper run of the game on a single to right by Jonathan Holzer (Brooklyn, NY). After Holzer moved into scoring position after a failed pick-off attempt by the pitcher, Diaz came up with a clutch two-out single to centerfield to score Holzer.
In the sixth, Phil Kuhner (Queens, NY) came in to relieve starter Wendell Anderson (East Hartford, CT), and gave up a leadoff double to Jason Kane. After Ray Downs fouled out to first baseman Gaskin for the first out of the inning, Blake Hershelman hit a drive to deep centerfield. Centerfielder Matt Cucurullo (Valhalla, NY) battled through wind and a pelting drizzle to make a spectacular catch at the wall to rob Hershelman of extra bases. From his knees, Cucurullo flipped the ball to the cutoff man who fired to second base to double-up Kane for the apparent third out. The St. John's coaches argued with the umpires that Kane had tagged up at second, and came around to score. After much deliberation, the umpires sided with St. John's, put up the eighth run for the Red Storm, and the inning continued.
Then in the bottom of the eighth, the Red Storm tacked on another run to take a 9-7 lead into the ninth inning. In the Jaspers' half of the ninth, Gilbert Fregoso hit lead-off batter Cucurullo and Anderson singled up the middle to put runners on first and second with nobody out. Gaskin advanced the runners on a groundout to second. St. John's brought in closer Vinnie Mannese, who walked Josh Greco (Kensington, CT) to load the bases. The next batter for Manhattan was Sly Gutierrez (Fresh Meadow, NY), who forced in a run on a groundout to the second baseman to cut the lead to 9-8. Fierro then came in to hit for Candela, and looped a 2-2 offering from Mannese into right-centerfield, which brought around Greco and Anderson for a 10-9 Jasper lead.
In the bottom of the ninth, Cucurullo robbed lead-off hitter Billy Graiser of a basehit with a sliding catch in shallow centerfield for the first out of the inning. DeRosa then singled to put the tying run on base. Ian Quinn (Catskill, NY), the fourth Jasper pitcher of the game, got Bilezikjian on strikes with a fastball on the outside corner for the second out, and Fierro gunned down DeRosa trying to steal second to end the game.
Offensively for the Jaspers, Anderson was 2-4 with a run scored, and is now tied with former teammate Mike Lorento, '01, for the school's all-time hit record with 195 career hits. Wilson Resto (Manhattan, NY) picked up his first win of the season, pitching 2.1 innings and allowing one run on one hit with one strikeout, while Quinn notched his second save of the year.
Manhattan closes out the regular season this weekend with an important three-game series with Fairfield at Van Cortlandt Park. The two teams will play a doubleheader on Friday, May 17, beginning at 12 Noon.

WOMEN'S TRACK & FIELD TEAM TAKES THIRD, MEN FINISH FOURTH AT METROPOLITAN

HEAD SOFTBALL COACH SUSAN HANNON RESIGNS
RIVERDALE, NY - Susan Hannon announced today that she has resigned her position as Manhattan's head softball coach to pursue a professional career as a high school guidance counselor at Rye Neck High School in Mamaroneck, NY. Hannon served as the Lady Jaspers head coach for the past six years, compiling a record of 107-160-1, including a 15-27 record this past season.
In 1999, Hannon guided Manhattan to its first-ever Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship and an NCAA Tournament appearance. It was Manhattan's first conference championship in any sport other than basketball or track and field.
Under Hannon's direction, the team has been repeatedly honored at the national level for its academic success. According to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA), the 2000-2001 squad finished second in the nation in grade point average for all Division I schools. Hannon's teams have not finished lower than 11th since taking over the helm, including consecutive fourth place finishes in 1999 and 2000. For the 2000-2001, the Jaspers finished with an overall GPA of 3.53, including a 3.61 in-season GPA.

OLSEWSKI ANNOUNCES GOLF, SWIMMING SIGNEES
RIVERDALE, NY - Head men's golf and women's swimming coach Walter Olsewski announced that freshman golfer Tim Hand (Yonkers, NY) will receive athletic aid next year and four newcomers to the Jasper swim team will also receive aid for the 2002-03 academic year. This marks the first time in the program's history that swimmers will receive aid.
Hand has agreed to an athletic aid offer for the 2002-03 year. Hand was a walk-on to the team this past year, and was the Jaspers' No. 3 player at the 2002 MAAC Championship in Lake Buena Vista, FL. Hand also led the Jaspers to their first ever tournament championship at the St. Thomas Aquinas Invitational in October, with the lowest combined score of the tournament (148).
Olsewski also signed four swimmers for the 2002-03 academic year. Krista Skodack, a transfer from Division II Northern Michigan, will have three years of eligibility remaining after sitting out the spring semester. Skodack is from Oscoda, MI and attended Oscoda HS. The other signees include Heather Kennedy from St., Francis Prep, Lauren Sullivan from Bethlehem Central in Delmar and Bethany Karbowski from Seekonk HS in Seekonk, MA.

WENDELL ANDERSON NAMED MAAC PLAYER OF THE WEEK
EDISON, NJ - Senior outfielder/pitcher Wendell Anderson (East Hartford, CT) was named Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Week, conference officials announced today. Anderson led the Jaspers to a 4-0 week, including three conference wins.
Anderson hit .429 this week and earned two victories on the mound. On Tuesday, Anderson picked up a complete game victory over Albany, allowing only one earned run while striking out nine. Then, on Saturday, Anderson drove in two runs in an 8-2 victory over Canisius in the first game, and knocked in three more in a 15-8 Manhattan victory in the second game. In the third game on Sunday, Anderson came in to pitch a scoreless 13th inning, striking out two of the three batters he faced. Manhattan went on to win the game in the bottom of the 13th, 6-5, allowing Anderson to earn his fifth win of the season.
Anderson improved to 5-3 on the season and is second on the team in batting at .365. He is just two hits shy of tying the school's all-time hit record, and is already Manhattan's career leader in homeruns.
The Jaspers are 29-18 overall and 14-10 in the MAAC and travel to St. John's on Tuesday for a 7:00 non-conference game before returning home to close out the regular season with a three-game series against Fairfield at Van Cortlandt Park.

GEORGETOWN ADVANCES WITH 12-7 WIN OVR MANHATTAN
James Amandola Stops 24 Shots for Jaspers
NEWARK, DE -- Georgetown senior All-American midfielder Steve Dusseau scored four goals and Trevor Walker and Walid Haij each added two goals and an assist as the No. 5 seed Hoyas advanced to the quarterfinals with a 12-7 NCAA men's lacrosse tournament first round victory over Manhattan Sunday at the University of Delaware's Delaware Stadium.
Georgetown, making its sixth straight NCAA Tournament appearance, improved to 12-2 on the season and will face defending national champion and No. 4 seed Princeton in a quarterfinal game next Saturday at Hofstra University. Manhattan, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference champion and a first-time NCAA Tournament participant, had an eight-game win streak snapped to finish the season at 11-6.
Eugene Tanner, the nation's fourth leading scorer, tallied two goals for Manhattan, which received an outstanding effort in goal from senior James Amandola who posted 24 saves as Georgetown outshot the Jaspers, 62-17.
"I give Manhattan a lot of credit," said Georgetown head coach Dave Urick, whose team won a first round NCAA game for the third time in the last four years. "They were well prepared. Amandola did a great job in goal and we got frustrated early. We had some chances early but just didn't execute and Amandola came up big when they needed him. It was a humid day and the weather was tough, but we have the luxury of going deeper in our lineup. We are pleased with the result. We got the win and we are moving on."
After Georgetown scored the first two goals of the game behind unassisted scores from Haij and Dusseau, Manhattan battled back to tie the game at 2-2 on scores by Justin Otto and Don Femminella, the second with 11:08 left in the first half.
But the Hoyas took control from there, shutting down Manhattan for the rest of the half and scoring four unanswered goals, two by Dusseau, to take a 6-2 lead into intermission.
After Manhattan's Rich Sauer scored in the opening minute of the second half, Georgetown again responded with three straight goals, including one by Dusseau, to go up 9-3, and never looked back.
Phil Vincenti added a goal and an assist for Georgetown while Neal Goldman handed out three assists. Georgetown won the faceoff battle by a slim 12-9 margin.
"We played very well," said Manhattan head coach Tim McIntee. "Georgetown did a great job defensively and our kids just couldn't get to the cage. I have to believe that was the best game that Amandola played for us. Even though we walk out of here with a loss, it was a win for us. We played the No. 5 team in the country and we played the tough."

MANHATTAN OUTLASTS CANISIUS IN 13 INNING THRILLER, 6-5
Jaspers Win Ninth Straight and 13th in a Row at Home
RIVERDALE, NY - Sophomore Matt Cucurullo (Valhalla, NY) hit a sacrifice fly to right field which scored Gary Diaz (Naugatuck, CT) in the bottom of the 13th inning to lift the Manhattan College baseball team (29-18, 14-10) to a 6-5 victory over MAAC rival Canisius College (4-35, 3-21) at Van Cortlandt Park. In a game that was moved up two hours to 10:00 AM, then delayed an hour and 20 minutes in the bottom of the ninth due to rain showers, the Jaspers found a way to pull out their 13th straight home victory in the bottom of the 13th inning.
Canisius jumped on the Jaspers early, plating three runs in the top of the first. The Jaspers got on the board in the bottom of the second on an RBI-double by Chris Gaskin (Rego Park, NY). The Griffs extended their lead to 4-1 in the top of the fifth on a solo homerun by Danny Conrad. Then in the bottom of the inning, the Jaspers rallied for a pair of runs to cut the deficit to 4-3. Frank Cappello (Pelham, NY) and Sal Candela (Brooklyn, NY) each drove in runs in the inning. The Griffs scored another run in the top of the ninth on a Jasper fielding error. Down two runs, the Jaspers loaded the bases with nobody out to start their half of the ninth. But the late inning dramatics were put on hold, as the heavens opened up and Van Cortlandt Park got hit with a huge downpour.
Head Coach Steve Trimper and his team scrambled for tarps and kitty litter to try and protect the field. Once the rain ceased, Trimper and the team worked feverishly to try to get the field back to a playable condition. An hour and 20 minutes later, the two teams resumed play. Cappello drew a walk to bring a across the Jaspers' fourth run, and Candela crossed the plate after Jon Lilley hit Cucurullo in the right ankle to tie the game at 5-5. But the Jaspers were unable to push across the winning run and left the bases loaded to send the game into extra innings.
Starter Mike Parisi (Lake Grove, NY), who had already pitched a phenomenal game, headed back to the mound to start the tenth inning. Parisi held the Griffs scoreless over the next three innings, while striking out four batters. The Jaspers however, could not capitalize at the plate either, and the two teams headed to the 13th inning, deadlocked at 5-5.
Wendell Anderson (East Hartford, CT) came into pitch the 13th, and set Canisius down in order on two strikeouts and a groundout. The Jaspers had the top of the order coming up in the bottom of the 13th, and Diaz reached on an error by the shortstop to lead things off. Cappello ripped a double down the left field line, which just skipped over the bag at third, but Diaz held up at third. Cucurullo stepped in and skied a 1-1 offering from the fourth Canisius pitcher of the day, Rowan Lam, into right field, which was plenty deep enough to score Diaz from third and win the game for Manhattan.
Cucurullo and Cappello each drove in a pair of runs in the win, while Gaskin and Candela also drove in one run apiece. Parisi threw an amazing 12 innings, with 14 strikeouts. Anderson (5-3) picked up the win, pitching one inning of scoreless relief.
The Jaspers return to action on Tuesday, May 14, when they travel to St. John's University for a 7:00 PM non-conference game.

BASEBALL SWEEPS CANISIUS IN MAAC DOUBLEHEADER, 8-2 & 15-8
Jaspers Extend Win Streak to Eight
RIVERDALE, NY - The Manhattan College baseball team (28-18, 13-10) swept a doubleheader from MAAC rival Canisius College (4-34, 3-20) this afternoon at Van Cortlandt Park. The Jaspers won the first game 8-2 and clobbered the Griffs in the second game, 15-8. Manhattan has now won eight games in a row, its longest winning streak of the season, and has won 12 straight home games.
In the first game, junior Ryan Darcy (Levittown, NY) had another strong outing, earning his fourth consecutive complete game victory. Darcy (8-4) scattered nine hits and struck out eight batters with only one walk in the win. The Jaspers got on the board first in the bottom of the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Eric Fierro (Levittown, NY), which scored Chris Gaskin (Rego Park, NY), who led off the inning with a double. Then in the bottom of the fifth, Manhattan sent nine men to the plate and scored five runs on five basehits. Josh Greco (Kensington, CT) doubled in a run and Wendell Anderson (East Hartford, CT) and Fierro each collected two-run basehits to push the Jasper lead to 6-0. Canisius scored its only runs of the game in the top of the sixth on a two-run homerun by Ishmael Cox. Manhattan plated two more runs in the bottom of the seventh for the final margin.
Fierro was 1-2 with three RBI, while Anderson went 2-4 with two RBI and a run scored. Greco and Sal Candela (Brooklyn, NY) also drove in runs in the victory.
The second game was a wild one, as the two teams combined for 23 runs on 23 basehits. Canisius struck first with two runs in the first inning on RBI-singles by Danny Conrad and Jesse Burdick. But the Jaspers countered with three runs of their own in the bottom of the inning on run-scoring singles by Anderson and Gaskin. The Griffs came right back and plated three runs in the top of the second to take a 5-3 lead. After giving up a leadoff single to Burdick in the top of the third, freshman Ken Gleason (Glendale, NY) was forced to make an early exit, giving way to relief pitcher Ian Quinn (Catskill, NY). Quinn (4-2) pitched the remaining five innings and allowed two runs on just three hits while striking out five and walking two for his fourth win of the season.
The Jaspers meanwhile, did their share of damage at the plate, scoring 12 runs over the next two innings. Anderson was 3-4 in the game with three RBI and two runs scored, while Frank Cappello (Pelham, NY) was 2-5 with four RBI and two runs scored.
Manhattan and Canisius close out the three-game series tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM at Van Cortlandt Park. The game time was changed from 12 Noon to 10:00 AM due to the threat of rain.

Spare the Manhattan College men's lacrosse team the boos, curses, phone calls and e-mails for making the 2002 NCAA Division I Tournament.
The Jaspers won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference title and received an automatic qualifier (one of six spots awarded by the NCAA) to this year's lacrosse championships.
Unseeded Manhattan (11-5) - this year's Division I men's lacrosse Rodney Dangerfield - faces No. 5 Georgetown (11-2) at noon today in a first-round game at the University of Delaware.
It is easy to make the David and Goliath comparison, but when you mention the Manhattan and Georgetown lacrosse teams in the same sentence, it's like a one-sided Celebrity Death Match: Pee Wee Herman facing Hulk Hogan, Tom Cruise vs. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Pamela Anderson against Joanie Laurer, the former female wrestling star Chyna (you get the picture). But listen: if any Division I men's lacrosse team deserves respect, it's the Jaspers.
One would be hard-pressed to find a program that does more with less than Manhattan. Heck, can any team in the tournament field of 12 boast (or want to admit) the following:
No practice field.
No locker rooms.
No full-time coaches.
A lacrosse budget in the neighborhood of $100,000.
Players, in many cases, buying their own equipment.
Coaches, on occasion, having to pay referees with their own money.
The stories, oh, the stories. Most of them can't be printed. Others get lost in the translation. It's a bond that links Manhattan lacrosse players; and situations, events and happenings that only a Jasper would understand.
Such as the time the Jaspers, who work out at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, had to move their practice because a Public Schools Athletic League (PSAL) cross-country race course ran right through where the Manhattan players were standing.
Then there's this.
"Some lady came by [practice] with two dogs," attackman Justin Otto (Chaminade) said. "One of the balls rolls away. We thought one of the dogs picked it up. Coach starts flipping out yelling for the ball back. She keeps walking and doesn't listen. Coach asked one of us to go get the ball, we all started laughing."
Alas, Otto is only a freshman, a mere novice when it comes to Manhattan lacrosse tales that sound more like they belong on Ripley's "Believe It or Not."
"Van Cortlandt is a New York City public park - imagine what you'd see there - you have all walks of life," senior goalie James Amandola said. "The fields are absolutely terrible. We have some lines there, but if it rains or snows, we're in the gym. And with basketball, we don't get great times. We're there early in the morning or as late as 1 a.m."
Still, the Manhattan players like to think the harsh conditions, ultimately, make them better.
"It would be great if we had the facilities to be able to have what the top D-I schools do, but they don't work as hard or get through what we do," junior defenseman Anthony Antonelli (Sewanhaka) said. "No matter what the conditions are . . . It really doesn't matter as long as we have a little grass on the field so we can run around the cages, we're all right."
Amandola added: "It's an uphill battle, but it's also the greatest battle ... a lot of us are here because we just like to play."
Now the Jaspers get to play on the biggest stage of all - the NCAA Division I Tournament - the crown jewel of lacrosse.
"We're a really loose team right now," Amandola said. "We're all happy for our great year and all that we accomplished, and we're excited to be playing on the same field as a team like Georgetown."
The play of Amandola is one of the reasons Manhattan, featuring seven former Long Island high schoolers and six underclassmen in its starting lineup, is in Delaware at all.
The former Patchogue-Medford star leads the nation in save percentage (.690) and is fourth in goals-against average (7.10). After missing the Jaspers' first three games while recovering from surgery to remove non-cancerous cysts from his jaw, Manhattan is 11-2, including eight straight victories.
But even the Jaspers, to a person, admit extending the streak to nine is a tall order against the likes of the Hoyas. "Obviously, we know we're the biggest underdog [in the tournament]," Amandola said. "All we can do is go out and play the best we can."
But the Jaspers playing lacrosse in May is as frequent as the Mets playing an error-free game these days. Plus, factor in that Manhattan is in the midst of finals this week, and the Jaspers' schedule has been hellacious.
"It's been pretty crazy, to say the least," said freshman attackman Eugene Tanner (Patchogue-Medford), who leads the team with 49 goals and 23 assists. "Everybody [in the lacrosse community] is mad at us [for being in the tournament]. They're mad because Hofstra didn't get in, and they say we should be playing in the women's [tournament]."
Even with all the criticism directed at his program of late, Manhattan coach Tim McIntee has his own unique spin on the Jaspers season.
"One day, we'll be the answer to a Trivial Pursuit question: The last time the NCAA [Division I] lacrosse tournament had 12 teams [was in 2002], name them," McIntee said. "We're one of the teams ... That's pretty amazing." MANHATTAN School founded: 1853. Undergraduates: 2,600. Record:10-5. How it got into tournament: Automatic bid by winning MAAC Tournament. Seed in tournament: Unseeded.

Wolcott right-handed pitcher Alex Narus, one of the premier pitchers in the Naugatuck Valley League the past three seasons, will attend Manhattan College.

BASEBALL NOTES
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Narus will join former NVL standouts Nick Carbone of Torrington, and Gary Diaz of Naugatuck, at Manhattan.
Narus went 11-2 with a 1.12 earned run average last season and is currently 5-1 with three saves for the Eagles this season. He has been instrumental in leading Wolcott (13-2) to the top of the NVL standings.
"The Manhattan coach (Steve Trimper) told me that I would be a spot starter in the middle of the week and a reliever for league games on the weekends," Narus said. "It feels good to have made the decision. I spoke to Nick and Gary, and I feel more comfortable listening to them and what they think of the program. They said going to Manhattan was one of the best decisions they've ever made."
Narus credited Wolcott catcher Lee Guerrera with making him a better pitcher.
"Lee always knows what pitches to call and where to put it," Narus said. "He has stopped a lot of pitches in the dirt and saved a lot of runs over the years."

Cornell men's lacrosse's postseason structure
(U-WIRE) ITHACA, N.Y. -- It's the middle of a mid-week afternoon and at the Cornell men's lacrosse office, head coach Jeff Tambroni and his staff are gathered watching film in preparation for this weekend's season finale against Hobart. But despite a 9-3 record, a win over former No. 1 Syracuse, and a strong campaign in the formidable Ivy League, the contest with the Statesmen will be the last of the season for Cornell, barring a series of events beyond its control.
Meanwhile, Manhattan College lacrosse coach Tim McIntee is preparing for the Jasper's finale against St. Joseph's this weekend. Despite a mediocre 9-5 record that includes a trio of losses to Sacred Heart, Rutgers and Stony Break, the team will be assured of a ticket to the playoffs. Loyola, on the other hand, enters the weekend with a 9-3 record, a schedule that includes the likes of Georgetown, Syracuse, Duke and John Hopkins and is still considered a bubble team.
The seemingly illogical scenario is brought about by the structure of the NCAA men's lacrosse tournament. Currently, 12 of the 55 teams participating at the division one level are invited. Eight conferences are represented in the sport, six of which currently hold what is known as an automatic qualifier, meaning the champion of each of those respective leagues is invited to the tournament. This leaves only six other at-large bids.
Such a situation has made the notion of automatic qualifiers (AQ) a contentious issue among coaches and administrators. Ostensibly the rationale of the AQs is to provide an incentive for athletic departments to allocate increased resources to the sport of lacrosse. It is argued that with the potential to partake in the NCAA Tournament, lacrosse programs would proliferate. However, critics argue that the AQ's have created a situation where quality programs are left out of May lacrosse in favor of mediocre teams that captured weaker leagues.
Tambroni sees both the upside and downside of the system.
"Automatic qualifiers help the game to grow over time. It's a positive addition to the sport in that respect," he said, attributing some of the success of upstart programs like Ohio State, Notre Dame and Butler to the AQ system.
But Tambroni appeared cognizant of the downside of the system as well.
"You certainly will have a lot of teams from the top 25 that don't make the tournament. That's a difficult situation for a lot of coaches to handle. You work hard all season and think you deserve to be in the postseason."
Others, like Brown's Scott Nelson, are more critical of the AQ's impact on the game. The Bears's head man argues that the tournament should showcase "the best teams from the strongest leagues." While he considers the argument that AQ's lead to growth, he suggests that it is mistaken to think that teams who win bids based from automatic qualifiers do so because of increased resources from athletic directors.
"Programs can develop independently without an automatic qualifier," he said, citing the Metro-Atlantic Athletic Conference's Manhattan as a school that is limited to just four scholarship players a year, compared to the NCAA limit of 12.6.
All of this puts the selection committee in a precarious situation come early May.
"You're asking a lot of the selection committee with just six slots open, especially given the parity we have seen in the sport," Tambroni reasoned.
It appears, though, that after years of lobbying, a solution has come about that will hopefully allay some of the concerns over qualified teams being omitted from the tournament.
Next year's NCAA Tournament will feature 16 teams, a plan that is raising cheers from coaches and lacrosse fans across the country.
"With 12 teams, the problem is that the top 10 teams are very consistent from year to year. So if you loose even once or twice, with only six at-large bids, it becomes very hard to make the tournament," Tambroni said.
"Expansion is some of the best news we've had in college lacrosse in a long time," said Nelson, who argued that the sport was a prime candidate for expansion given its unique characteristics. He alluded to its consistent income stream and low costs associated with travel as features that made the sport an attractive candidate for expansion.
Financial concerns and bureaucratic snafus had kept the proposal from becoming a reality for several years. In order for the proposal to take hold, it must be voted favorably on at four levels of the NCAA: the championship cabinet, the budget subcommittee, the management council and the board of directors.
A confluence of factors made for the change of heart, but some form of alternation was going to be necessary for next year due to the new automatic bid for the Colonial Athletic Association -- the conference that is home to Towson and Hofstra. Such a situation would have made for seven automatic bids in a 12-team tournament a situation that violated a NCAA stipulation stating no more than half of the teams competing in the tournament may come from AQ's.
The key to the deal involved an agreement among men's hockey and lacrosse staff along with those associated with women's softball. These three sports were the only ones left in the NCAA wishing to expand, and when it was shown that by granting additional spots to all three sports, gender equity could be maintained, the NCAA bigwigs were hooked.
But coaches like Tambroni and Nelson are quick to point out that for years, the NCAA had been lenient in allowing for even 12 teams, given the relatively small number of overall programs.
Still the sentiment is resoundingly optimistic toward the new format.
Said Tambroni, "For the game of lacrosse, it is important to expand. This proposal not only leads to growth in terms of number of teams, it also means more coaching jobs and publicity for the sport."

Hey John,
I appreciate the info and any help. Although I like HR (and wouldn't mind an internship)what I really want to do is business consulting, for a consulting firm, ie: McKinsey, Booz-Allen, E & Y, Accenture. You get the point. I have a resume, but I don't know where to send it to for you to place it in the Jasper ezine. If you can send me your e-mail address, I'd appreciate it. I'll put mine down as well with the hope that 10,000,000 people won't see it! jjc2015@columbia.edu
Once again, thanks!

Hi John:
You’re welcome. As a hobby, from time to time, I counsel out-of-work "fat old white men". Having been there and done that, three times, I am very opinionated about the process. Like the typical Libertarian -- "don't give fish, teach fishing", I try to "give" these "deer in the headlights" executives the benefit of my "education" at the Hard Knocks University. I do so with the understanding that, like pay it forward, you do the same for the others you meet. Some one did it for me and I couldn't possibly repay him so this was the next best.
In the next two messages, I will email you my "standard invitation" and an issue of Jasper Jottings. If you decide you would like to read it on a weekly basis, then just let me know. Send me your resume at mailto:reinkefj@alum.manhattan.edu and I would be please to include it in the next available spot. (The economy must be getting better, at one time I had a six week backlog of resumes. I only put in one a week deliberately so people are not competing for attention.)
I have a reading list of books that I suggest, if you want it. The best, "if you only can buy one, buy this one" book is Lucht's "Job Changing at 100k+" and has a workbook. It can help your decide what you really want to do and the techniques to get there. I recommend it highly. And few others.
I would suggest that you need to do some networking meetings with an eye towards determining where your skills match the world's needs. HR is neither H nor R. And for sure, the last thing we need is yet another bad business consultant.
There is a psyc concept call the "Johari window" (Joe and Harry developed it). It says that everything is viewed thru a four pane window. What we can and can not see are two. What someone else can and can not see are the other two. So from your view point you see stuff; from my pov, I see stuff. There will be stuff that we can agree on. On other things, we have to rely on the other's view. AND, as Joe and Harry tell us, there is shit that neither of us see.
I think it is egotistical for me to sit here and say that you will be good at HR or MgmtConsulting. I think that you are looking thru the "I see + he doesn't see" pane. In my "I see + He doesn't see" pane, I have been an IT consultant for four years in my own business and I can tell you it is tough, rewarding, exciting, and scary. Trust me on that one.
So I would suggest that you take this for what it is worth, I don't think you have collected enough views of the world to "sight in" on your objective. Can we agree on that? (Thus putting it in the "We Agree" quadrant.)
As your loyal servant, I will of course agree with whatever you want to do. I can't tell you if that is right or wrong; just, what I see thru my own some what cloudy "frames".
Good luck, and let me know what you'd like me to do to help,
"yet another john" John

Captain Izzo,
Hough! I turned 29 three days into Basic Training and had to retire nine months later due to Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I re-enlisted four months shy of my 36th birthday. I originally hoped to be a commissioned officer am now striving to be my unit's mobility warrant officer. As I am the primary caregiver to my 72 year old parents, I am non-deployable. The only war stories I can tell are the four active duty days I served 9-11-01 to 9-14-01. I made two trips to Ft. Totten and was thanked - for deciding to join the military, I guess - by many people. I thank you, Sir for your service.

Dear John,
I've been an avid "lurker" of your Jasper Jottings for three computers now! Thanks for sending out the link to your web page! As a member of the class of '78, your weekly newsletter is the best form of communication that I receive about or from MC!
Please change my mailing address from <privacy invoked>. Jerry Pople (a Loyala alum from Chicago) and I were married on September 7, 2001, and were vacationing in Key West during the 9/11 attacks. Nothing like being under a state of emergency while hundreds of miles away from our North Carolina home... Trying to get through to my family in NYC was a nightmare; thankfully no one in the immediate family was a casualty, even though 5 cousins worked in the WTC.
So life is back to normal, or as normal as things ever are in this economy. I'm fortunate to still be riding the telecom roller-coaster at Lucent. Many of the MC alum took the early retirement package last July...
Thanks again, John, and keep up the good work!

Dear John,
Returning lost items to owners is the right thing to do. Don't stop doing it.
My own story is recent. I bought a new pair of glasses and within the first week left them on the tray I emptied into the trash at a McDonalds 50 miles away. The case had my phone number on it. The next day I received a call from a supevisor of trash collectors in the town that one of his people had found the glasses and turned them in to him. I arranged to have them left at the courthouse and picked them up two days later. I really appreciated getting them back.
Keep up the good work.

Hi John,
Thanks for restoring me to the Jasper Jottings address list. I will look forward to receiving the Jottings each week, and I missed them while I was temporarily off the list because my ISP changed my e-mail address. Fortunately, I visited your Archived Jottings site and was able to catch up on all the editions I had missed. I always enjoy your opening remarks each week, but I especially look forward to your "Final Thoughts". Your timely Libertarian messages are a refreshing viewpoint in these troubled times, when most of the American "sheeple" are looking for a bigger government to solve their problems. I guess it's the uncertainty of the times that makes them willing to trade their Freedom for Security. At least they won't be blaming the Libertarians when they finally realize that their poor choices have given them neither Freedom nor Security.
You were obviously one of the few Jaspers who were paying attention when the good brothers taught us how to think, rather than how to scheme. I just wish other Americans would wake up, and discover that "We" and not the Government have the real answers to our problems. But then what can we expect from the products of a "dumbed down" and "outcome-based" public education system that is producing successive generations of entitlement-dependent voters. Perhaps all the Liberals who are for a woman's right to "chose", may one day also let her chose the public school where her children can best be educated, and the resulting competition might save our declining public education system.
Keep up the good work.

Though some days I think I'm still recovering from about a decade of working too hard (topped by surviving the attack on 9-11), life is good for me right now as I shift my professional focus to freelance writing.

Dear John,
I noted with sadness in the recent passing of James J. Callahan (1970) which was reported in the MC newspaper.
Jim and I had gone to both grade school and high school together. He had a brilliant mind, a special talent for math and a great wit. He won full scholarships to both Regis HS and Archbishop Molloy HS and chose to attend the latter. In our early years at Manhattan, Jim, (Dr.) Rocco Marotta, John Caughy and I used to ride up to Van Cortland Park with Rocco's Uncle Carmine and then walk across the park to the school. "A walk in the Black Forrest" we used to call it; always an adventure, especially in winter.
Unfortunately, I lost track of all these fine people after graduation. I'd welcome any news from or about any of them.
My sincere condolences to Jim's family. He was a fine man and I was luck to have know him in my youth.

"It is increasingly difficult to understand why the United States must continue to placate and support this misguided organization."
"Despite some of the good the U.N. has done over the years, it is time for the United States to rethink its level of participation in it, if not the issue of its continued membership."
The dead old white guys had it right when they said "no entangling alliances". We seem to have lost the concept that this is the "American experiment". Our republican democracy is unique. There are very few other types of democracies around the world. One can name them pretty much on one hand. So here we have an organization that wastes our time, presents a platform for dictators to pontificate and dodge on, and takes up our parking places, never mind flaunts our laws.
I, for one, would consign the UN to the dust bin. We shouldn't fund it, we should tolerate its non-sense, and we certainly shouldn't take it seriously. I can't think of anything redeeming of the top of my head, and certainly can come up with a few negatives. In short, unless it admits only democracies, then its members don't have a moral claim to represent squat.
Nuke the budget item that keeps this morass afloat.
