There will be a hiatus for two weeks while I go abroad on a business trip for the first week in July. There probably will be a backlog in material in the weeks following. I’ll try to keep the disruptions to a minimum.

The news after this comment.

Poll says most Germans want rid of euro
ALLAN HALL In Berlin
"THE party is over for the euro in Germany. A
majority of the country which more than any other embraced the concept and
birth of the single currency now longs for the return of the deutschmark."
There is an old proverb that says something like "be
careful what you wish for, you just might get it." So to we fallible humans must be very careful about the
"grass being greener on the other side of the fence". For example,
look how we have butchered what the dead old white guys gave us -- the American
experiment -- the Constitution. It was more than Prohibition that was an oopps. One could make a case for the Fourteenth being a good
one, but, most are bad, some disastrous.
I hope that I am always wise enough to understand the ramification
of what I ask for -- like more Jasper Jottings readers. There is nothing like
making a fool of oneself in front of lost more people at once. On the other
hand, the added "subscription revenue" would be nice too. I'll just
have to watch what I, and my favorite Congress critters, ask for to see if it a
wise request. They say God answers all prayers; it just that the answer is
sometimes "no".
I hope all our prayers are answered. I know one wish that can't possibly be wrong -- "Donna nobis pacem" -- as quoted from "Father" Mulchay MASH the TV show.
That’s probably the best way to celebrate Memorial Day!
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 CANDIDATES
Six candidates are vying for two at-large seats: Incumbents Ruth Kaleko and Roy Lester are running against Patrick Gallagher, Lynn Gergen, Michael Robinson and Joe Sinnona.
<extraneous deleted>
Joe Sinnona
BACKGROUND: Sinnona, 33, is a licensed real estate broker and the president of Joe Sinnona Realty in Long Beach. He has lived in the district for almost two years. A graduate of Manhattan College in Riverdale, he is a former city school teacher in that community. Sinnona is single. As president of the Long Beach Sons of Italy from 1995 to 1997, he established a junior Sons of Italy club for Long Beach high school and middle school students and lectured frequently on Italian culture and awareness in the schools. Sinnona sponsors Morning Madness, an all-night alcohol-free post-prom party. He is a member of the district Parent Teacher Student Association. This is his first run for the school board.
ISSUES: Sinnona said, "The single most important issue facing the Long Beach school district today is the stability of our high school." He said that the district "must continue to hire the best teachers and administrators." He said that achieving this goal "will involve consistent hard work and perseverance of our parents, teachers, administrators and alumni." Sinnona said that as a board member, he would like to put a "spotlight on the accomplishments of the Long Beach schools," which include the increasing number of graduates who go on to colleges or universities. He would like the district to re-evaluate the high school guidance counselors to see whether they are encouraging enough students to apply for college scholarships.

BYLINE: Joe Haberstroh
It's a fortunate thing when there's an Eric Forsyth for a
Bob Bennett.
Bennett, of Sayville, is a 44-year-old Computer
Associates executive who needed a serious break from the corporate world.
Forsyth, 70, of Brookhaven hamlet, is a wickedly devoted
sailor who just happened to be planning yet another epic sailing journey aboard
his trusty 42-foot yacht, Fiona.
Now Bennett has signed on as crew for Forsyth, and, with
their 15-month circumnavigation scheduled to depart from Patchogue next month,
it appears both men will get what they need. He quit his job though CA has told
him it will welcome him back. Still, Bennett is prepared for the possibility
that the 30,000-mile voyage could lead to fresh directions for his life.
Forsyth gets a crew member who can help him take Fiona on its most challenging
journey to date - a trip that will take the boat from Patchogue and around the
Cape of Good Hope (South Africa), Cape Horn (the southernmost tip of South
America) and Cape Leeuwin (on the southwest shores of
Australia).
<extraneous deleted>
A third crew member, David Pontieri,
22, of Patchogue, is scheduled to graduate Sunday from Manhattan College with a
degree in education. The youngest in the three-man crew, Pontieri
also has virtually no sailing experience. He has operated power boats, however,
and has worked with variety of tools as a maintenance worker at the Fire Island
National Seashore.

Malcolm Pirnie Spends $150,000 On Its 2001 Internship Program Aimed At Increasing
Minorities In Engineering
Pirnie is first corporate
sponsor of nacme scholars program in environmental
consulting field
WHITE PLAINS, NY - Malcolm Pirnie,
Inc., one of the country's leading environmental engineering and consulting
firms, has added a second major scholarship initiative to its program to
increase the talent pool of African Americans, Latinos and Native American men
and women in the engineering profession. Raising its 2001 scholarship program
budget to $150,000, Pirnie has made a grant of
$50,000 towards the 2000/2001 scholarship campaign of the National Action
Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME).
To kick off this year's program, an orientation was held
last week in Pirnie's White Plains headquarters where
all 14 interns and some Pirnie mentors participated
in an interactive group session to meet one another and learn more about the
firm. Bill Dee, the firm's president, welcomed the scholars and provided an
overview of the company history and principles.
Pioneering Diversity Efforts in Environmental Consulting
With this grant, Malcolm Pirnie
has become the first environmental consulting firm to sponsor NACME's Scholars Program, a nationwide initiative to help
more minority students successfully complete their engineering degrees.
According to Dr. John Brooks Slaughter, President and CEO of NACME, Pirnie is "helping NACME expand the pipeline of talent
for today's and tomorrow's high technology workforce
and changing the lives of young people throughout the country. Your
contribution makes a difference."
Malcolm Pirnie has Been a Trailblazer in Proactive Diversity Programs
The Malcolm Pirnie/UNCF
Scholars Program was created in 1998 by the firm's late president and CEO, Dr.
Paul Busch, with William Grey, III, CEO of The United
Negro College Fund to help change the odds for African Americans in the
environmental and engineering professions. Pirnie
committed a quarter of a million dollars over four years to this program to
provide a combination of scholarship aid, real-world work experience via paid
summer internships, and individual mentoring.
In 2001, the Pirnie/NACME
Scholars Program is awarding a combination of up to $5,000 per year in
scholarships (administered by NACME according to GPA), paid summer internships
in Pirnie offices, and professional mentoring by a Pirnie staff member. College students majoring in
engineering, environmental sciences and related disciplines are eligible to
participate in these programs: the UNCF (United Negro College Fund) program is
open to entering college seniors, while the NACME internships targets students
entering their sophomore, junior or senior year. A total of 14 engineering
students are participating in Pirnie's combined NACME
and UNCF internship programs this summer.
A Diverse Group of Scholars
The 14 scholars are a diverse group who hail from
hometowns and colleges across the country. Eleven are civil engineering majors,
two chemical engineering majors and one majors in
environmental engineering Most scholars will spend their 8-week summer internships
at Malcolm Pirnie's corporate headquarters in White
Plains.
Four students are from the New York metropolitan area and
attend Manhattan College. Alexander Jimenez, from Haverstraw, NY, will support
the computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) design/drawing group. Winston
Peters, Jr., from Brooklyn, NY, will get hands-on experience in wastewater
treatment plant design; Wilson Nazario, a resident of
Puerto Rico who attends school in Riverdale, NY, will work with the firm's
hydraulic modeling experts. Anthony Jara, a New York
City resident, will work on contract documents and do field work at the Coney
Island wastewater treatment plant.
Other interns were drawn from colleges nationwide.
Alberto Prieto-Carrero, a junior at Texas A&M
University, will work with Pirnie's Federal projects
group, and Barrington IL resident, Katrina Ballado, a
junior at the University of Illinois, will provide design support on New York
City wastewater treatment plants. Another University of Illinois student, James
Buckle, Jr. of Chicago, will do geotechnical design with Pirnie's
landfill engineering group.
Verna Smith, from Shreveport LA, attends Howard
University and will be working in White Plains with Pirnie's
instrumentation and control group. Jasmyn Cleaves, an
environmental engineering major at Clark Atlanta University, will work on
Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Statements, along with Jenelle Kirk, a Baltimore resident studying at Morgan State
University. Leroy Covington, Jr., of Detroit attends the University of Michigan
at Ann Arbor and will be developing project management guidance manuals.
Three students will be interning in other Pirnie offices. Justin Peterson, a Tempe resident studying
at Arizona State University, will be working in Pirnie's
Phoenix office. Phillip Parker, studying at Mississippi State University, comes
from Moss Point, MS and will be working on water and wastewater design and
construction in Pirnie's San Diego office. LeMiracle Hendking, a Tennessee
State University junior, will have a unique experience -- stationed at Pirnie's Birmingham office and working in the offices of
the Birmingham Water Works and Sewer Board, a Pirnie
client.
In addition to internship and mentoring, NACME Scholars
also attend special leadership development conferences and enjoy opportunities
to network with interning students from other engineering disciplines and
schools. NACME, a not-for-profit corporation, is the nation's largest privately
funded source of scholarships for minority engineering students. Since 1974, it
has produced more than 7,000 African American, American Indian and Latino
graduates in engineering, technology and math and science-based disciplines who
have become leaders in industry, government and academia.
Malcolm Pirnie serves
governmental and industrial clients nationwide, providing comprehensive
services in water and wastewater engineering, solid and hazardous waste
management, air quality control and a broad range of performance enhancement
consulting services. A century-old firm with a staff of 1,400 in more than 40
offices, Malcolm Pirnie is fully committed to
diversity in the workplace, with a college recruiting program that includes a
strong focus on minorities and females and participation in local and national
programs for minority and women's advancement.

UI Health Care News: Weeks of December 23 & 31, 2001
Fellows steps down, Campbell named as interim head of physiology and biophysics
Robert E. Fellows, M.D., Ph.D., who has served as head of
the University of Iowa Department of Physiology and Biophysics since 1976, will
step down from that position effective February 1, 2002. Kevin P. Campbell,
Ph.D., the Roy J. Carver Chair of Physiology and Biophysics, and Howard Hughes
Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator, has been named interim head of the
department. Fellows will stay on as a faculty member of the department.
The appointment was announced by Robert P. Kelch, M.D., dean of the UI College of Medicine and vice
president for statewide health services. The interim appointment also will be
effective Feb. 1, 2002.
"I am extremely pleased that one of our brightest
stars has agreed to accept an appointment as interim head of the Department of
Physiology and Biophysics," Kelch said.
"Dr. Campbell's work has played a major part in bringing the department to
national and international prominence."
Campbell is internationally renowned for his
neuromuscular disease research. His work has led to the identification of the
molecular and genetic basis of several forms of muscular dystrophy and has
provided a clearer understanding of the muscular dystrophy disease processes.
Campbell's findings have already greatly improved the diagnosis of muscular
dystrophy and point to strategies for developing therapies for these
devastating neuromuscular diseases.
"Kevin's research has brought great honor to the
college and to the university. He has proved himself to be immensely capable in
everything he has undertaken," said Allyn L.
Mark, M.D., interim executive dean of the UI College of Medicine. "I look
forward to working with Kevin in his new role."
David Skorton, M.D., UI vice
president for research and interim vice president for university relations
added, "I am delighted that one of the best scientists on our campus has
agreed to assume an important leadership role at a time when the College of
Medicine is poised for incredible growth. I have gained immeasurably from Kevin
Campbell's strategic thinking about a variety of science issues and look
forward to working with him in this new, important role."
Campbell received his doctoral degree in biophysics from
the University of Rochester and his bachelor's degree in physics from Manhattan
College. Campbell has been an HHMI Investigator since 1989, and in 1999 he was
elected to the prestigious Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of
Sciences. He also is a UI Foundation Distinguished Professor. Campbell joined
the UI faculty in 1981 and holds a joint appointment in the Department of
Neurology.
Kelch had high praise for
Fellows' tenure as head of physiology and biophysics.
"Bob Fellows has been a superb leader who has served
the college and the university with great distinction for the past 26
years," Kelch said. "Under his guidance the
department's research enterprise has grown immensely and outstanding faculty
and staff have been recruited. Bob has also been extremely committed to the
college's education mission, and students from many disciplines have benefited
from the department's excellent teachers."
Fellows earned his medical degree from McGill University
and his doctoral degree from Duke University. He spent 10 years at Duke
University teaching and conducting research as a faculty member of the
departments of physiology and pharmacology, and medicine before moving to the

From: John Concado
Hey John,
I just read your mail that you sent some 2 weeks
ago. I had finals these past 2 weeks and
had isolated and prohibited myself from the outside world. Thankfully, it's over. I read all of your advice regarding "I
see" and "he doesn't see" philosophy, in regards to the consulting
world. I think it was interesting, but I'm
still trying to get at what you meant. I
know that I cannot assume that Mgt Consulting will be for me, but I think it is
something that will interest me more than, HR per say. I say this with confidence because I know
myself pretty well. I did work for Skadden, Arps in their HR dept
for 10 months after graduation and know that although I can do HR, I would
enjoy something new and different like consulting. Don't get me wrong, I know that I'm young and
relatively inexperienced, but I'm a very confident and at the same time,
stubborn man. Don't ever tell me that I
can't do something!
It just makes me want to do it that much harder!
Ok, John, I really have to go to bed. Thanks again for the help and advice. I would be honored if you would add me to
your list and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Take care.
John Concado, '01
ps:
I'm attaching my resume in case you want to look at it or do whatever magic it
is you do with resumes!
pps:
Any shot at getting an internship with Rudy's consulting firm???? That would be nice, don't cha think???!!!!
pps: I know this can't hurt, so I'll mention it anyway bc my HS has even more school pride than MC. I went to Archbishop Molloy HS in Jamaica, Queens. I know Stanners, as we're called, are always willing to help out fellow graduates. If I ran into a Stanner/Jasper I think that would only help me even more.

THREE BASEBALL PLAYERS NAMED TO MAAC ALL-ACADEMIC TEAM
EDISON, NJ - Sophomores Matt Cucurullo
(Valhalla, NY), Nick Carbone (Litchfield, CT) and
Josh Greco (Kensington, CT) were named to the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference All-Academic Team, conference officials announced today. Players
must have at least a 3.2 cumulative GPA to make the All-Academic Team.
Cucurullo, a business major,
had a breakout sophomore year as the team's starting centerfielder. Cucurullo finished second on the team with a .370 batting
average and, with 68 basehits this season, tied the
school record for hits in a single season. For the majority of the year, Cucurullo was also ranked among the nation's best in stolen
bases and finished with 25 for the season, setting a new school record. Cucurullo finished fourth on the team with 36 RBI and had a
slugging percentage of .462.
Also a business major, Greco was Manhattan's starting
catcher and part-time designated hitter. He hit .325 with one homerun and 37
RBI, third-most on the team. Greco finished second on the team with 14 doubles
and was fourth on the team with 64 basehits. Greco
posted a .970 fielding percentage and had 19 multi-hit games.
A secondary education major, Carbone
was a reserve in 10 games with one start. He drew two walks and scored a run in
a pinch-hitting role.
Manhattan finished the 2002 season with a 32-19 overall
record and 16-11 MAAC record.

STEVE TRIMPER NAMED MAAC BASEBALL COACH OF THE YEAR
Chris Gaskin Named MAAC Co-Rookie of the Year
EDISON, NJ - Head baseball coach Steve Trimper was named 2002 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
Coach of the Year and freshman firstbaseman Chris
Gaskin (Rego Park, NY) was named MAAC Co-Rookie of
the Year, conference officials announced at the MAAC Baseball Tournament
Banquet this afternoon. In addition, Gaskin along with senior rightfielder/pitcher Wendell Anderson (East Hartford, CT),
sophomore centerfielder Matt Cucurullo (Valhalla, NY)
and junior pitcher Ryan Darcy (Levittown, NY) were named to the All-MAAC First
Team.
Trimper, in his fourth season
with Manhattan, guided the Jaspers to an overall record of 32-19 and a 16-11
league mark. The 32 victories tied the school record for wins in a single
season, set in the program's inaugural year (1903). Manhattan missed the
playoffs by one game, but finished with the most MAAC victories in school
history. Under Trimper's direction, Manhattan has won
at least 20 games each of the last four years.
Gaskin, who shared the Rookie of the Year honor with LeMoyne's Mike Lewis, was a starter at first base in all 51
games for the Jaspers, batting .326 with three homeruns and 38 RBI. Also an
excellent defensive player, Gaskin owned a .986 fielding percentage at first.
Gaskin, who earned MAAC Rookie of the Week honors on April 2, had 19 multi-hit
games and posted a .453 slugging percentage.
Anderson was a four-year standout for the Jaspers, and
will leave Manhattan as one of the greatest hitters in the history of the
program. On May 17, Wendell broke the school's all-time hit record, and
finished his career with 201 career hits. He also holds school records in
homeruns, triples, runs and RBI. He led the team this year in batting with a
.385 average with six homeruns and 42 RBI. Anderson has also compiled a record
of 6-3 on the mound, and was third on the team with 70 strikeouts. Like Gaskin,
Anderson was a starter in all 51 games this season.
Cucurullo had a breakout year
as a sophomore and finished second on the team with a .370 batting average.
With 68 basehits this season, Cucurullo
tied the school record for hits in a single season, set in 2000. For the
majority of the year, Cucurullo was also ranked among
the nation's best in stolen bases and finished with 25 for the season, setting
a new school record. Cucurullo finished fourth on the
team with 36 RBI and had a slugging percentage of .462.
Darcy was the Jaspers' ace on the mound this season,
posting a record of 8-5 with a 3.71 ERA. Over 106.2 innings pitched, Darcy
posted 79 strikeouts while only walking 24. The MAAC Pitcher of the Week on May
6, Darcy threw five complete games and held the opposition to a .263 batting
average.

BOBBY GONZALEZ ANNOUNCES 2002-03 RECRUITING CLASS
RIVERDALE, NY - Head men's basketball coach Bobby
Gonzalez announced today that four touted recruits have signed National Letters
of Intent to attend Manhattan College and play basketball, beginning in the
Fall of 2002. The recruits include Kenny Minor (Baltimore, MD/Dunbar/Winchendon
Prep (MA)), Jason Wingate (New York, NY/Rice), Mike Konovelchick
(Litchfield, NH/Alvirne/New Hampton Prep) and Oktay Yilmaz (Istanbul, Turkey/Cavusoglu).
Minor is a 5-8 point guard from Dunbar High School who
averaged 19.0 points and 8.0 assists and led his team to a 28-1 overall record
in 2000-01. Minor and the Poets also won the City and State Championship in
2000-01. Minor was named the Baltimore City Player of the Year as a senior at
Dunbar and, for his career, tallied 12.0 points, 5.0 assists, 2.0 steals and
shot 75.0% from the line. During his fifth year at Winchendon Prep, Minor led
his team to a 23-4 record and advanced to the Final Four of the NEPSAC.
"We are very excited about the addition of Kenny
Minor," said Coach Gonzalez. "He is a high-energy player with a huge
heart. Kenny's a natural-born winner with a lot of charisma."
Wingate is a 6-0 guard from Rice High School who averaged
12.8 points, 7.3 assists and 4.2 steals per game. Selected to the All-CHSAA
Second Team, Wingate was part of the City and State Championship teams and
guided his team to a 29-2 season in 2001-02.
"Jason is also a great addition to this year's
class," said Coach Gonzalez. "He's a smart player who has all the
intangibles. Jason's a mature player with a lot of court-savvy who comes from a
high-profile school."
Konovelchick is a 6-5 small
forward from Alvirne High School and was named New
Hampshire Player of the Year in 1999-00 and 2000-01. At New Hampton Prep, Konovelchick averaged 18.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0
assists and 2.0 steals per game and was named First-Team All League. Last
season, his team won the NEPSAC Championship with a 27-3 overall record.
"Mike is a huge get for our program who brings the whole package," said Coach Gonzalez.
"He's a multi-dimensional player who can stick the outside shot. Mike's a
tough, athletic kid who also knows how to win."
Yilmaz is a
6-8 center, who won three High School Championships at Cavusoglu
High School. In 1999-00, Yilmaz was a member
of the Junior National Team in Macedonia, and played on the runner-up World
High School Championship Team. Two years ago, Yilmaz
was a member of the Under-22 National Team. Last year, as a member of Efes Pilsen, Yilmaz
averaged 14.0 points and 7.0 rebounds.
"We're very excited about Yilmaz
because he is the first foreign player to come and play for us," said
Coach Gonzalez. "He's a skilled, fundamentally-sound player who will help
us in many areas."

BASEBALL BEATS FAIRFIELD, 3-1, IN REGULAR SEASON FINALE
Jaspers Tie School Record With 32 Wins
RIVERDALE, NY - Senior Wendell Anderson (East Hartford,
CT) struck out 14 batters over eight innings for his sixth win of the season
and was 2-2 at the plate with two walks to lead the Manhattan College baseball
team to a 3-1 MAAC victory over the visiting Fairfield Stags at Van Cortlandt Park. The Jaspers end their 2002 season with a
record of 32-19, tying the school record for wins in a single season, set in
1903. The Jaspers also improve to 16-11 in the MAAC, marking the most
conference wins for a Manhattan team.
The win however was bittersweet for the Jaspers, who
learned that fourth-place Rider University came from behind to defeat Saint
Peter's, and thus clinched the fourth and final spot in the 2002 MAAC
Tournament.
Anderson allowed only two hits and one unearned run on
the day, while striking out 14 Fairfield batters, tying the Jasper season-high
for strikeouts in a single game. Also one of the most prolific hitters in the
program's history, Anderson finishes his career as Manhattan's career leader in
hits, doubles, triples, homeruns and runs scored. Sophomore Ian Quinn
(Catskill, NY) picked up his third save, working a scoreless ninth.
Manhattan struck first in the bottom of the second on an
RBI-single by Josh Greco (Kensington, CT). Then in the bottom of the fourth,
Anderson and Chris Gaskin (Rego Park, NY) led off the
inning with back-to-back doubles to put the Jaspers up 2-0. Fairfield scored
its only run of the ballgame in the top of the sixth, on an RBI-single by Ryan
Bittner, but the Jaspers tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the
seventh on a run-scoring single to centerfield by Frank Cappello
(Pelham, NY).
Another bright spot for the Jaspers was sophomore Matt Cucurullo (Valhalla, NY), who tied the Manhattan
single-season record for hits with his 68th hit on a double to right field in
the bottom of the seventh. Cucurullo tied former
Jasper, Mike Lorento, who set the mark in 2000.
Other Jaspers who broke single-season school records
included Anderson for runs scored (58) and RBI (42), Cucurullo
for stolen bases (25), Ryan Darcy (Levittown, NY) for wins (8) and innings
pitched (106.2), Mike Parisi (Lake Grove, NY) for
strikeouts (81) and Darcy and Ken Gleason (Glendale, NY) for complete games
(5).

Wolcott captures NVL title
Baseball crown 1st for school
Saturday, May 18, 2002
C 2002 Republican-American
WOLCOTT BB
By Mark Jaffee
WATERBURY - Whenever Andrew Roberts glanced around the
Wolcott High gymnasium, he couldn't help feel that something was missing.
There were Naugatuck Valley League banners in four girls varsity sports and three boys sports, with 22 titles
in all. Wolcott athletic director Joe Monroe strolled into the gym on Friday
afternoon, looking at the banners to confirm the number of NVL titles his
Eagles owned.
But a baseball banner was not among the list since
Wolcott joined the league in the 1987-88 academic year.
"It was a weird feeling not seeing a baseball banner
during workouts in the gym during the preseason," said Roberts, a junior.
"I hate being inside, but that's where you get the feeling to play. That's
where it all starts."
When Roberts begins practice for the 2003 season, he will
be proud to finally see a baseball banner inside the gym.
The Eagles captured the NVL crown Friday by topping
Kennedy, 6-4, at Municipal Stadium. The Eagles improved to 16-2 with just two regular-season
games remaining on the schedule. Ansonia, Holy Cross and Watertown all entered
the day with five losses.
"I've always wanted a banner ever since I was a
freshman," said Roberts, a right-hander who improved to 6-0 Friday.
"That was our goal from the beginning of the season. We worked really hard
and we finally got it."
The Eagles were considered a preseason favorite by many
coaches around the league. They boast senior pitcher Alex Narus,
four-year starting catcher Lee Guerrera and shortstop
Gary Miller. Narus, who sports a 6-1 record, is
headed to Division I Manhattan College and Guerrera
will attend Division III Marietta College.
"I knew that we had a shot to win the league title
because we had good pitching and defense," said Miller. "The offense
will always follow good pitching and defense. Everyone believed we could do
it."
Supporting roles helped the Eagles, too.
"The greatest thing about this team is that someone
new is always coming up and contributing," Roberts said. "It's not
the same guys."
That attribute was illustrated in the bottom of the third
inning Friday when senior leftfielder Ryan Andrade ran down Steve Smead's drive to the fence in left center.
As Andrade returned to the first-base dugout, the entire
Wolcott team greeted
him near the first-base line to congratulate him.
"That was a great feeling to have
your teammates support you like that," Andrade said. "It's
nice to know they are in the game all of the time. Everyone plays relaxed and
with confidence."
Though the Eagles lost to Staples of Westport, 2-1, in
the 2001 CIAC Class L semifinals, that experience helped prepare them for this
year.
"That loss gave us so much motivation," Guerrera said.
That unrelenting desire lifted the team as well, Roberts
added.
"We were not afraid this year," Roberts said.
"We were ready to play as soon as we got off the bus."
And because of this effort, the Eagles can raise one more
banner.

John,
How many pensions are enough for you?! Gosh, I hope four

a great role at CSC.
I haven't tried to get in touch with James Patterson. Too
chicken, I guess, to contact someone and say, Hi, I have this tenuous link with
you, do you want to help me out? But it's true; I
should get over my fear of rejection and exhaust all avenues, especially since
he did help another alum....
Thanks,

[JR: Can’t be too thin, too smart, to pretty, or in my case - since I can’t have the others – too many pensions. I figure I can collect maybe two more. ;-) Are you sure that you’re a Jasper? I never met any that were shy and retiring. Do you want me to make the contact for you? You know me, I’ll try anything in “networking”. I have found that the “higher up” the food chain and the busier the target is that is how nice and accommodating they are. This would put that “lesson” to the test.]

Nah, I "might" be able to collect one more.
It's either stay at CSC for ten, or if they nuke me (i.e., pay me to leave,
sometimes called severance) then I'd have a chance to collect one more. Can
never have enough or then you have to depend on social security. Now for your
generation, the rules are different. But, I am sure you can figure your
"rules" for yourself. The job may be good -- to early to tell yet.
Ah come on now, a Jasper that
isn't headstrong and pushy. I just read one of his books. It was pretty tricky.
I an a big believer in the self-help literature. They
always tell you is to picture the worst that can
happen. He hangs up the phone on you. Refuses to see you? Yells at you that you
are an untalented hack and why are you wasting his time! Hits you? Obviously, rejection
only bruises the ego. The only thing we really control is our own thinking. So,
do you want to do it? Or, do you want to wimp out. He may have the idea poor
that single piece of advice that can change your whole future?
He probably, based on helping that other alum, gets a big charge out of helping baby writers. The big
thing us old people try to do is create a "legacy". Something that is
bigger and better than we found it.

Subject: Klez explanation
Date: Sat, 18 May 2002 22:57:33 -0400
Subject is seeing Klez on
someone else's machine
Person A, gets the virus, and
his computer sends an infected e-mail to person B in the name of person C. At
this point several things can happen, all of which cost the users (and their
Network admins oodles of time). The most common is
that person B sends an angry e-mail to person C (whom they often do not know)
or worse, to person C's business & or domain. Non computer system admins want to know what person C is doing (and their
questions are more pointed when Klez uses a sexually
suggestive subject header). They look suspiciously at C, and at C's LAN admin,
who had certified that C's computer was patched and had adequate virus
protection.
Explaining the complexities of this worm to less than
computer literate admins often takes two or three
attempts, and even then I think some of them still think they should ding
someone. Person B has a server based e-mail viral scanner and sends a
notification of failure to deliver to C, who flips out, believing their
computer is infected. Again, the complexities of this worm are hard to
communicate, and much time is wasted trying to explain, and all the assurances
you have given them about how up to date an secure their computer is (and why
it is worth all the time and effort you put into antiviral and patches) suffer
a credibility hit. User C may even try to contact B's domain seeking an
explanation (and more time is wasted on all sides). This is in effect, a new
form of identity theft, and the time wasted in orientation (what is going on?)
and repairing perceptions and reputations can be substantial.
The risk? Too many e-mail users
still believe that 'from' header, unaware how easy it is to fake. As Klez forces them to understand this, they almost certainly
will over-react, which ultimately will undermine the efforts to make digital
signatures and online validation more common.

Good Evening, John:
1.Amen on the UN. It really is
'un'...un-American, un freedom, un anyone who
disagrees with it or its funny members. (In case my usage of 'un' means against).
2. I guess my history lesson of last week struck home.
3. As far as "GW" and the FBI warning is
concerned, as a retired Naval Intelligence Officer, many items of 'information'
come through one's hands. Unless one has the key to the puzzle, all one can do
is relay them to HQ in hopes that more information is available there which in
turn can be gathered at the "terrorists" desk or desks. I have had
what I thought was important material ignored either because it "didn't
fit" or because it disagreed with the thoughts of the PTB.
4. My machine is acting up. I must have inadvertently pushed the wrong button.

It’s like say finding something in a library without the card index and the library was hit by a tornado. Then, you are given one page from Gone With The Wind, The Constitution, a Shakespear play, and Lincoln’s biography and you draw the conclusion that the Pope will attack Vicksburg next Tuesday. It’s an Art; not a science.]

Greetings, John! I
read with interest the news item #4. It
dealt with Manhattan's pride regarding the number of vocations that came out of
Manhattan. I noted that the only
vocations referenced are to the presbyterate. It would be interesting to note how many graduates
from Manhattan have been called to other ordained orders, e.g. diaconate or to the episcopate. What about those who pursued the religious
life, male or female. I would be very
interested in knowing how many other men from Manhattan are serving as Deacons
in the world today. Would this website
provide this information?
Thanks for your tireless energy in facilitating JAJO.

[JR: Whoa, slow down. Remember I are a engineer. Now you want to know how many graduates are Presbyterians? 13. Seriously, it was something that I was unaware of. I would bet that MC’s contribution to the Church in people power would be high because of the basic liberal (in the classical sense not political) education makes them both sensitive and qualified for the roles.]

How Much Will the Farm Bill Cost You?
Neal Boortz
Monday, May 20, 2002
"In 1996 the Republicans were trying to get
America's farmers off the taxpayers' dole. That was then, this is now. The
Republicans have absolutely no intention whatsoever of reducing the size and
cost of government at the present time. It's an election year."
In the past I describe the Democrats as the party of
"big government" and the Republicans as the party of "slightly
smaller big government". It appears that I am have
to change that definition. Needless to say, I told you that there was very
little difference between the two "major" parties. Hawks
and Doves, Welfare and workfare, Big versus Slightly Smaller Big government.
Arghhh!
"Last week President Bush signed one of the most hideous,
over-inflated spending measures in decades. The great and
wonderful farm bill. This bill is going to cost the taxpayers of this
country a minimum of $171 billion over the next 10 years."
Anyone who thinks that the Treasury isn't gonna be a printin' and a borrowin' and inflatin' the
greenback must be living in a different USofA! The
costs of guns AND butter has to be paid by someone. Who?
"But let's bring this down to your level. Down to the individual American household. We're using
household figures here, though a huge percentage of American households don't
pay federal income taxes."
Clearly that is a problem. Republican government relies on
protecting the rights of the minority and limiting the powers of the majority.
51% of the voters can't vote to take from the workers their sustenance earned
by the sweat of their brow. At least not in my America.
It's as if we are on an island like survivor and everyone eats off what one
person produces. I'd like to vote off the non-productive people. If I am to be
charitable, then it has to be of my own free will. Otherwise, I am just a serf
"working the land" for the pleasure of "my owners".
"So, how much? The $171
billion works out to $1,805 per household. That's just the taxes. You are also
going to have to pay more for things like milk and sugar. Up to three times the
going world price. That will cost your household another $2,600."
You can each figure out what this means to you individually.
This is on top of what they already are taking from you!
"What does it mean to farmers? The average farmer will
get $1 million in subsidies over the next 10 years. You might be interested in
knowing that the current average net worth of these farmers is around
$564,000."
Oh I see, we take from the poor
to give to the rich and buy the votes of the non-producers by letting them
steal from the producers. The dead old white guys must be turning over in their
graves. "Let the eat cake."
"It's all about vote buying."
No it's all about the producers being to
stupid to stop producing until the terms and conditions change back to a free
exchange.
And that’s the last word.
