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 MSNBC Story
http://www.msnbc.com/news/292233.asp?0dm=N238N
caught my eye.
As a young man he was diagnosed with a crippling muscle disease and told he had only a few years to live. All the more reason for …
…
… world-famous cosmologist Stephen Hawking to go all out to celebrate his 60th birthday.
We need to not let other’s “predict” us, or our own prejudice that others are right in how they label us, prevent us from making the contribution that we are intended to make. I for one will try to ignore the limits placed on me by others and by my “ignorant” self. I hope you all will do the same.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MICHAEL J. BURTON, EXECUTIVE DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF NYC’S DEPARTMENT OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION TO DELIVER COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS AT MANHATTAN COLLEGE
RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Michael J. Burton, executive deputy commissioner of New York City’s department of design and construction (DDC) and a 1984 graduate of Manhattan College, will deliver the keynote address for the College's 160th Undergraduate Commencement on Sunday, May 19. During the ceremony, he will receive an honorary Doctor of Science degree.
A resident of Chappaqua, New York, Mr. Burton is currently leading the public-private construction team responding to the World Trade Center disaster. At Ground Zero, he is responsible for the cleanup, site stabilization, infrastructure repair and reconstruction preparation.
The Engineering News Record recently honored Mr. Burton with their 2002 Award of Excellence, stating that "For his grace under fire in carving order from chaos at Ground Zero, for guiding his team to a so-far safe and successful conclusion despite so many obstacles, for being both a tough and compassionate decision-maker and for allowing the construction industry to prove its mettle, the editors of ENR choose Michael Burton the 2002 Award of Excellence."
At the DDC, Mr. Burton is responsible for the day–to–day operations of the agency that designs and builds the majority of New York City’s public buildings, roads, water and sewer projects. In addition to creating policy, setting goals, and assuring that the agency’s mission is fulfilled, Mr. Burton takes a “hands–on” approach to managing the agency’s critical high–profile projects. This spans the spectrum of acting as project executive and on-site project manager on several emergency projects, including management of the World Trade Center disaster site. Mr. Burton currently manages a staff of 1,300 design and construction professionals overseeing 1,249 projects.
After graduating from Manhattan College in 1984, Mr Burton received a master’s degree in business administration from Fordham University. He began his career with the New York City Department of General Services, and subsequently went into the private sector, working for Spartan Engineering as project manager, supervising the construction and renovation of residential apartment buildings. In 1988 he became construction contracts manager for ICF Kaiser Engineering, and in 1990, he was named project manager for O’Brien Kreitzberg. In 1996 he returned to municipal work as deputy commissioner of the structures division and was named to his current post in 1999.
Manhattan College will award over 520 undergraduate degrees in over 40 major fields of study from its five schools in arts, business, education, engineering and science. Graduation day begins with a Baccalaureate Mass at 10:00am followed by brunch on the Quadrangle prior to the Commencement ceremony at 1:00pm in the College's Draddy Gymnasium.
During the ceremony there will also be a tribute to the 20 members of the College’s alumni body who were lost on September 11.
Manhattan College is an independent, Catholic, co-educational college in the Lasallian tradition. Founded in 1853, Manhattan College is located in the Riverdale section of the Bronx.

Modeling Organic Chemical Fate in Aquatic Systems:
Significance of Bioaccumulation and Relevant Time-Space Scales
Robert V. Thomann
Environmental Engineering Department, Manhattan College, Riverdale, New York
-------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract
The importance of aquatic food chain bioaccumulation of organic chemicals in contributing to human dose is derived. It is shown that for chemicals with log octanol water partition coefficients greater than about 3, the role of food chain transfer to fish consumed by humans becomes the more dominant route over drinking water. Modeling of aquatic food chain bioaccumulation then becomes necessary to accurately estimate dose of such chemicals to humans. The relevant time and space scales for groundwater and surface water also indicate a division of organic chemicals at a log octanol water partition coefficient of about 3. For chemicals greater than that level, groundwater transport is minimal, while for chemicals with log octanol water coefficients of less than about 3, detention times are long relative to surface water and biodegradation processes become more significant. An illustration is given of modeling the groundwater transport of two organic chemicals (BCEE and benzene) and a metal (chromium) at a Superfund site. The model indicates that after 10 years only a relatively small fraction of the chemicals had traveled in the groundwater about 300 m to the point of release from the site to surface water. On the other hand, steady state in the adjacent stream and lake is reached rapidly over a distance of 2000 m, illustrating the difference in spatial and temporal scales for the groundwater and surface water. -- Environ Health Perspect 103(Suppl 5):00-00 (1995)
-------------
This paper was presented at the Conference on Biodegradation: Its Role in Reducing Toxicity and Exposure to Environmental Contaminants held 26-28 April 1993 in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
This paper was prepared under a grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Basic Superfund Research Program to New York University School of Environmental Medicine with contract to Manhattan College. Special appreciation is also extended to Rosemarie Mueller, James Szydlik, and Bijay Panigrahi for their work in the model calculations of the groundwater site. Grateful thanks are also offered to my colleagues at Manhattan College: Dominic Di Toro, John Connolly, and Donald O'Connor for their continual challenging discussions.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO EXPRESS THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY UPON THE DEATH OF DR. LAWRENCE F. MCMANUS OF PROSPERITY AND TO EXPRESS THEIR GRATITUDE FOR HIS OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP, COMMITMENT, AND ADVOCACY IN THE CREATION OF THE GIFT OF LIFE TRUST FUND.
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were deeply sadden to learn of the death of Dr. Lawrence McManus of Prosperity, age sixty-one, on Tuesday, June 19, 2001; and
Whereas, Dr. McManus, born in New York City, was a graduate of Manhattan College and earned his medical degree from New York Medical College, interning at Walter Reed Army Hospital. While serving in the United States Army, he was Chief of Orthopaedics Surgery at Fort Jackson; and
Whereas, in 1973 he entered private practice with the Moore Orthopaedic Clinic in Columbia. He later owned the Newberry Orthopaedic Association and was associated with Midlands Orthopaedics of Columbia. He served as Chief of Staff at Newberry County Memorial Hospital from 1985-1986; and
Whereas, his leadership in the medical community included serving as Secretary-Treasurer and President of the South Carolina Orthopaedic Association and President of the South Carolina Chapter of the National Arthritis Foundation. He was an active member of the Transaction Council of the National Kidney Foundation, the United Network for Organ Sharing, and many medical societies and associations; and
Whereas, Dr. McManus was the state's most passionate advocate and the driving force behind establishing the Gift of Life Trust Fund for the promotion of organ donation and education; and
Whereas, he not only spearheaded the creation of the Trust Fund, but he also served as Chairman of its Board from 1996-2000, ensuring a solid foundation and strong beginning; and
Whereas, Dr. McManus will long be remembered for his role in the Gift of Life Trust Fund and for the lasting legacy of life he has given to thousands of organ recipients across the nation; and
Whereas, he was a faithful member of Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, Chapin, a founding member of St. John Neumann Catholic Church, and a devoted, former member at St. Joseph's, Columbia and St. Mark's, Newberry; and
Whereas, among the honors bestowed upon Dr. McManus for his many contributions were the South Carolina Organ Procurement Agency's "Legacy of Life" volunteer award, the South Carolina Lion's Club "Outstanding Service Award", and the Order of the Palmetto; and
Whereas, above all, Dr. McManus was the devoted husband of Kathleen O'Connor McManus, the beloved father of four children, and the loving grandfather of six grandchildren; and
Whereas, it is proper and fitting that the members of the General Assembly pause in their deliberations to note the passing of such a dedicated doctor, passionate advocate, and outstanding community leader. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, express the deepest sympathy upon the death of Dr. Lawrence F. McManus of Prosperity and express their gratitude and appreciation for his outstanding leadership, commitment, and advocacy in the creation of the Gift of Life Trust Fund.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the family of Dr. Lawrence F. McManus.

The Red Foxes also captured the men's crown with 64 points, six points ahead of second-place Manhattan. Fairfield finished first in the women's cup race by compiling 70 points, 12 points more than Marist and 15 points ahead of Manhattan.
Manhattan won six MAAC championships this year, including men's cross country, men's and women's indoor track, men's and women's outdoor track and men's lacrosse, in addition to qualifying for 11 other MAAC tournaments.

WENDELL ANDERSON NAMED TO ECAC ALL-STAR SECOND TEAM
CENTERVILLE, MA - Senior pitcher/outfielder Wendell Anderson (East Hartford, CT) was recently named to the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) All-Star Second Team by conference officials. Anderson is the first Manhattan baseball player to garner ECAC All-Star honors.
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 also compiled a record of 6-3 on the mound, and was third on the team with 70 strikeouts. Anderson was one of two Jaspers to start all 51 games this season.
His other accolades include being named to the 2002 MAAC Preseason Team and the 2002 All-MAAC First Team. Anderson was one of five players from the MAAC Conference to earn ECAC All-Star honors.

HEADLINE: AT STARPOINT: DOWN, BUT NOT OUT
BYLINE: JASON TORREANO; NeXt Correspondent
"I was watching the news at 11 and I just sat there. I was shocked. Then I got angry and really sad and upset."
Krystina Robinson, Starpoint student council co-president, pretty much summed up the feelings of many Starpoint High School students two weeks ago after finding out the school budget had been voted down for the second year in a row - this time by only nine votes! It's a story in the making. It's a story of how one school district overcame incredible obstacles last year, raising $400,000 to reinstate its sports program. It's a story of students saying, "We're worth it" to the community where they live. Now the small school with a whole lot of spirit has once again been thrown into the headlines - with students once again facing potential cuts of athletics, teachers, field trips and extracurricular activities. Last year, students and parents of Starpoint Sports Boosters were able to raise the $400,000 to keep the sports program going. But this year they have said they just can't do it again.
"I was surprised at how many people came together last year," said Matt White, co-president of the junior class, "and I guess that shows how tight-knit of a community we are.
An avid athlete, who participates in cross country, track, yearbook, Honor Society and Scholastic Bowl (and who worked on the school newspaper before it was cut under last year's contingency budget), White is now facing some difficult decisions. Scholarship opportunities are a major consideration, and many athletes are facing the decision about whether to find another school for their senior year or stay at Starpoint.
Last year, Starpoint lost sophomore track star Brittany Pryor to Niagara Falls after she decided that staying in the district would pose too great a risk to her future. This year, several athletes are again facing that decision. White, who will be entering his senior year this fall, has received attention for his sports ability from many colleges including the University at Buffalo, Manhattan College, and New York University. Now with only a year left, White is facing a tough decision: Stay in the district and potentially lose a possible scholarship or leave his classmates in order to stay in the running. "I've started looking at the rules (about enrolling in another school) - I guess they are pretty complicated regarding public schools, and the main Catholic schools don't accept seniors. I take a lot of pride in Starpoint as a school and community, but when it comes down to it, athletics is a huge part of my life and future, something I don't want to give up."

[JR: Dear Jasper Thomas: You are right about the hard work. I spend about 30 hours per week spread over 6 days to gather and format the weekly issue. What you call "politics", that I would call "seasoning", is my way of having a little fun while I do it. "Virtual Plato's Cave" remember. And, it sparks people's interest in participating. I draw out the lurkers and get at least five emails a week responding to this or that. Besides, It's the price of admission. Over the last few years, I've been labeled "right", "left", "weird", and even "kooky". (If I had to select a label, I'd pick "curmudgeon".) I have never censored anyone from responding. In fact, many readers think the exchanges are "entertaining". Some people, like you, think it should be just "Manhattan". I think that would be so flat as to be worthless. (I even got one now departed Jasper, may he rest in peace, in politics so aggravated that he actual said something like "don't tell me facts that differ with my opinions because I don't want to hear them". I had more fun and receive more kudos about that exchange than any other.) So, I have run this thing my way. I can't make you stay, but, I can ask you to write about what you think was so bad. Wasn't it the Supreme Court -- in one of the few things they got correct -- that said the antidote for "bad speech" is more speech not censorship? So this "space" is for French archers, Irish politics, Greek symbols analyzing the content of the Bible, organizing of Latin Jaspers, or just about anything that our fellow Jaspers want to say. No matter what. Just as in Plato's Cave, you could say any fool thing and get an audience. This is a new and evolving medium of exchange with its own texture and value. I thought perhaps it might become just an announcement channel, sort of like the weather channel on cable tv. And, just about as interesting. I'd like you to stay, but I can't make you. I can't change it but I am open to suggestions. Besides for the most part, just like the TV commercials on your video tape, can just scroll over the parts you don't like. Many people never read the sport section at all. But, they don't stop taking the feed because of it? Submitted for your consideration, CIC John]

Subject: DEAR JOHN
Dear John:
The only thing that allows me to read the jottings each week is I can usually pass on your political editorial comments. I've always viewed it as the price we have to pay for all the good work you do. As a civil libertarian (a pro bono attorney for the ACLU) I may not agree with what you say but I defend to the death your right to say it. Though I think you'd have fewer unsubscriptions if you did not (ab)use your platform with rightist political commentary.
BUT REALLY JOHN, the "article" from TKE? (what, pray-tell, is that?) suggesting what we needed on Flight 93 was more guns was over the edge. Even you should have realized it was laughable. I don't mean to start a dialogue on gun control; I find it's not useful to converse with the convinced on that issue, and I try not to argue unless I get paid, but your insert provoked even me.

[JR: <1> Hi Bob, good to hear from you. Pro bono for the ACLU, good for you, and bad for you. They are the strangest group at the top in their selection of issues, but you know that from our prior spats. <2> Unsusubscribers are probably “liberal arts” guys, who can’t take the rough and tumble like us engineers from down the hill. Seriously, it’s a new medium and they leave with some valuable understandings that probably would have been very interesting and may even have been good stuff. I don’t think I really abuse the platform, but I’d be interested in what others think. <3> I would like to give this to the College. You probably remember I only started doing this because of the poor security in the MCOLDB and PlanetAll. Then, it just grew and tool on a :life: of its own. Taking some of my hide with it. <4> Very interesting your choice of words. I had to read it a few times. Does “I can usually pass on your political editorial comments” mean that you skip over them? Or, as I chose to read it, that you take them and send them along to others? Tricky stuff this language you lawyers use. ;-) <6> Your mistype “TKE” is TLE, “The Libertarian Enterprise”. An ezine I get. Vince S is an editorial writer for a Las Vegas newspaper and a very colorful writer. He is well read and admired in libertarian circles. There is some talk that he is going to run for VP with L Neil Smith, the science fiction writer. <7> As far as “gun control”, let’s leave that for another time. Us military types know that DIs use that term sarcastically to mean hit what you aim for. <8> At the risk of being political, I think the politicians have created some free fire zones for criminals. <9> Hope all’s well. Nice to draw you into the frey.]

Good Evening, John:
1. I know that you will be gone for two weeks, so bon voyage et bon chance.
2. Some dweeb blocked JJ because one of us used spook? What a PC jerk! Spook has mean Ghost long before it meant anything else. The secondary meaning of spy came along between the two world wars. Any other usage was foreign to me until I began to teach in the South Bronx and was told by several people to avoid certain areas which were considered Negro areas. One part of Stamford - US 1 - I was told to avoid. It was called "Spook Hill". (You should probably edit this if you are going to use it. Use blanks or asterisks? PC has become as bad as all the other freaks who try to control Americans...Hand Gun control, PETA, Animal Right’s people spraying fur coats, tree-huggers, etc. (By the way, my Lady saw a gentleman wearing a T-shirt which had the letters P E T A in large letters diagonally across his chest, with the small lettering eople ating asty nimals. People rushed up to him to congratulate him and recoiled with horror when they got close). I think this chap should get a medal of some kind. Would this same PC censor allow Irving's "Headless Horseman" to be published or spoken about on the net? The more the government and these busybody do-gooders interfere in our lives, the nearer we come to needing another American Revolution as our 'Congress Critters' as you call them aren't doing anything except trying to insure their reelection. Again, have a good trip. FNS sends

I particularly like one columnist’s idea that election to office should be more like jury duty. Pick one person at random to serve full-time for one year. House them in a jail-like atmosphere. Dress them in yellow jump suits. Heard them protected from influence buyers by armed guards. And at the end of the year free them to return to their homes, ineligible to ever serve again. Good idea, I thought. I’d rather one nut at random then this ongoing parade of career porkers.]

"Vote Republican, vote Democrat or don't vote at all it makes absolutely no difference in matters of lasting significance to the nation."
Agreed!
"The Second American Revolution, if it is to be successful, will depend on a resolute opposition to violence until the moment when the government, facing a crisis of confidence, betrays its true foundation in a manner so vicious that the scales will finally fall from the average American's eyes. Then, and only then, will it be time to raise the rattlesnake banner and remind our would-be masters of the lethal venom in the people's liberty teeth."
Agreed!!
We must oppose violence on all sides of any dispute -- include us. "Defense" is not "aggression". While we are searching old ladies getting on to planes, the borders are leaking like sieves. We must seal the borders and defend ourselves from ourselves. I, for one, will try to make a difference by being more "American".
And that’s the last word.
