“It’s a tremendous experience. One of the things you want to have is success in life, and it’s even more gratifying when you enjoy people you’re around.” So says football player Aeneas Williams the title of the article, “For Williams, Dreams Do Come True”, says the rest.
Some times change is bad, some times it is good, but it always just is. Most of the management gurus tell us that the increasing pace of change is now a permanent fixture. So, I guess we have to just plan for it. In my IT architecture practice, I have learned that you minimize change by getting down to bedrock principles and unchanging standards. I tried to explain that to someone this week and all I got back was a blank stare. It was like I was speaking in Greek. Sigh. So I just moved along, and think of him as one of the many upper-management types who are so fixated on the tactical as to be unable to understand taking a strategic view. That’s how we ignore change: Keep looking at the ground as we are walking looking for pennies, miss the opportunities ahead, until we walk into the brick wall, that tells us that this is the end on that particular street. Akin to driving by looking at the rear view mirror. I am going to try to elevate my sights this week. Hope we all can do the same.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

HEADLINE: F.V. Salerno, Verizon CFO, Joins Board of Lynch Interactive; Oversaw
Bell Atlantic/Vodaphone Merger Into Verizon
DATELINE: RYE, N.Y., Aug. 20, 2002
Frederic V. Salerno, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ), the largest provider of wireless and wireline communications in the U.S., has been elected to the Board of Directors of Lynch Interactive Corporation (ASE:LIC). Lynch Interactive, based in Rye, NY, is a diversified holding company engaged in telecommunications, cable TV and broadcasting, personal communications and related wireless services.
"Having Fred Salerno on our board brings us 37 years of experience in virtually every aspect of the telecommunications industry," said Mario J. Gabelli, Chairman and CEO of Lynch Interactive. "Of equal importance in these times when confidence in executive integrity has flatlined, we have a man whose credentials in business, community affairs and education are beyond reproach. "He is an icon in his industry, a true renaissance man given the breadth and depth of his outside activities, and we are delighted to have him on our board," Mr. Gabelli said.
Mr. Salerno, a trustee of the New York Inner-City Scholarship Fund and former Chairman of the Archdiocese of New York's Partnership for Quality Education Campaign, joined New York Telephone in 1965. He was named Vice President in 1983 when he managed the divestiture of the firm from the Bell System; and became President and CEO of NY Telephone in 1987.
In the course of his career he served as Vice Chairman of Worldwide Services and Finance and Business Development for NYNEX Corp., and was lead negotiator for three of the largest U.S. mergers: the 1997 merger of Bell Atlantic and NYNEX; the Bell Atlantic merger with GTE; and the combining of the U.S. Wireless assets of Bell Atlantic and Vodaphone into Verizon Wireless.
Prior to the Bell Atlantic/GTE merger, he was Senior Executive Vice President and CFO of Bell Atlantic. He was a member of the Office of the Chairman, responsible for the company's planning efforts, business development and finance.
A graduate of Manhattan College and Adelphi University where he earned a Masters of Business Administration, Mr. Salerno in 1988 was named chairman by former governor Mario Cuomo of New York's Temporary State Commission on the Distribution of State Said to Local School Districts. In 1990 he was appointed Chairman of the State University of New York, a post he held until 1990.
He is a member of the American Society of the Sovereign Military Order of the Knights of Malta, and serves on the New York State International Business Council. In 1999, the National Italian American Foundation gave him its Special Achievement Award for Humanitarian Services.
Mr. Salerno announced that he would retire as Vice Chairman and CFO of Verizon at the end of 2002, and devote his time to other business interests, nonprofit activities and his family.
Lynch Interactive Corporation is a diversified company with subsidiaries in telecommunications and multimedia, and we actively seek acquisitions, principally in existing business areas. Our World Wide Web address is: http://www.lynchinteractivecorp.com.

Obituaries
Edward S. Gaffney
Edward S. Gaffney, 56, died peacefully in his sleep Tuesday, August 20, 2002 at his Akron home.
Ed, as he preferred to be called, was born in Wigan, England, the son of the late Nora and Ned Gaffney. At two years of age, he and his family moved back to Ireland where they lived until emmigrating to Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1955. 12 years later, Ed graduated from Manhat tan College with a degree in civil engineering and moved with his new bride, Dorothy, also from Brooklyn, to Wadsworth, Ohio to begin a career with Babcock & Wilcox in Barberton.
The young couple soon had their first child, Edward Jr., while Ed's career with Babcock & Wilcox was accelerating. While juggling a young family and work responsibilities, Ed also completed master's degrees in management (Case Western Re serve University) and engineering (University of Akron). After several years in Barberton and two addi tional children, Pamela and Patty, Ed was promoted to head the boiler division of Babcock & Wilcox's plant in Wilmington, N.C. The family moved from Wadsworth to Wilming ton, where they stayed until another promotion, this time to lead the nuclear equipment division of Bab cock & Wilcox in Akron, which brought them back to Ohio in 1980. With this promotion, Ed became the youngest vice president in the history of Babcock & Wilcox. While the family was in Wilmington, the youngest Gaffney child, Kathleen, was born.
In 1985, Ed was promoted to group vice president of McDermott Inc., the new parent company of Babcock & Wilcox. This promotion sent the Gaffney family to Singapore for several years, and then London, England for several more years. Another promotion and a final move with McDermott to Washington, D.C. brought the fami ly back to the United States.
Ed decided to leave the security of a big company in 1990 and venture into small business through the acquisition of Air Enterprises Inc. in Akron, a successful manufacturer of custom air handling equipment. This self-promotion moved the family back to Akron, where Ed was able to realize a lifelong dream of owning his own company and becoming deeply involved with a community he loved and could finally call home.
His dedication to family, compa ny, and community was felt by everyone. In addition to his position as CEO and former president of Air Enterprises Inc., as well as the chairman of Hudson Engineering, Ed was most recently nominated to serve as the president of the Sum mit County Chapter of the American Red Cross. Ed was also serving on the board of the Western Reserve Historical Society, Old Trail School, The United Way, Boy Scouts, ASH RAE, and the University of Akron School of Business. Ed is a past president of the Akron Community Foundation and Portage Country Club, and was serving on the board of directors for the Duracoat Corpo ration.
While an active marathon runner, having completed 16 mara thons in only 16 years, Ed enjoyed playing golf as well. He was the 1995 Pro-Am Winner at the NEC Golf Tournament. His love of sport was only exceeded by his love of life, a contagious spirit that will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
Ed is survived by Dorothy, his loving wife of 34 years; son, Ed Jr.; and daughters, Dr. Pamela Coffey (Dr. Christopher), Patricia and Kathleen. Ed is also survived by his two younger brothers, Thomas and Michael, with additional extended family throughout the world.
Mass of Christian Burial Saturday, 10 a.m., at St. Vincent Church. Interment at Holy Cross Cemetery. Friends may call at the Hummel Funeral Home, 500 E. Exchange St., on Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. and Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. Donations in lieu of flowers, may be made to the Western Re serve Historical Society, The Sum mit County Chapter of the American Red Cross, The Akron Community Foundation, and Children's Hospital of Akron.

SECTION: B; Pg. 6
HEADLINE: Runner improved his times; Edward S. Gaffney, 56, was passionately
dedicated to family, Akron-area charities, running marathons
BYLINE: Marilyn Miller Beacon Journal staff writer
Edward S. Gaffney was a man dedicated to his job, family and community.
He was a member of many charitable organizations, served twice as president of the Akron Community Foundation and was the most recent president of the Summit County Chapter of the American Red Cross.
He also was owner and chairman of Air Enterprises Inc. in Akron.
Mr. Gaffney wanted to give back to a community that he said was good to him. His passion, apart from his family, was running. In fact, he was in training for two upcoming marathons. He ran 17 miles just last Sunday.
His wife, Dorothy, fears the sport he loved may have contributed to his death. "I think he trained too much and put too much pressure on his body," she said. "He walked on air from his job and working with the community and he ran -- those are the things that kept him going."
Mr. Gaffney, 56, died Tuesday morning in his sleep.
He enjoyed running. He often ran the 26-mile marathons with his daughter or son. He was training for the Dublin, Ireland, marathon in October and the Disney marathon in Orlando, Fla., in January. He liked to run at least one marathon a year. He ran his first marathon in 1986 in Singapore.
Mrs. Gaffney said she hated his running. "In 1997 he ran six marathons in one year, and that almost killed him. I think the more I protested the more he ran. It wasn't for me, but he worked so hard, this was his outlet and he loved it."
The Gaffneys made Akron their home by choice. He was born in England, grew up in Ireland and immigrated to New York in the late 1950s.
Mr. Gaffney met his wife in New York City through mutual friends at a CYO high school dance. They dated for five years and married six months after he graduated from Manhattan College in the Bronx. He took a job with Babcock & Wilcox. He worked there for 22 years.
B&W brought him to Wadsworth, and it also took him out of the country. The family moved to Wilmington, N.C., back to the Akron area and then to Singapore and London.
Later, he was a lobbyist in Washington, D.C., for B&W's parent company. Mrs. Gaffney described it as a cushy job -- a job he told her he could have stayed in for 10 years like his predecessor. "But he just didn't like it. He liked manufacturing and wanted to re-establish his roots."
She said he used to tell her that if he had to sit through another meeting where all they do is produce hot air, he would go nuts. The job lasted four months. He quit, went home one day and asked his wife where she wanted to move to next. They chose Akron. "We never regretted it."
In 1990 he purchased Air Enterprises, an Akron manufacturing company that provides special types of air equipment. "He told me, 'If I'm going to work that hard I'm going to work for myself.' "
His son Edward S. Jr., who attended Walsh Jesuit High School for two years then graduated from Singapore High School in 1987, said his father afforded the family with unique experiences. He said his father was totally self-made and he was amazed how his father was able to manage his full plate and still be able to get to his soccer games.
He said he and his three younger sisters learned by example. "My father never gave us a formula for life, but we were raised by a man who empowered us with tools of knowing what is out there. We learned that by hard work, honesty and integrity and treating people right you can do well, too."
Mr. Gaffney had the magical gift of leadership and had a passion for people.
"He was a good businessman and a hard worker. He was very well liked," said Jim Dowey, president of Air Enterprises and 12-year acquaintance of Mr. Gaffney. "He was a very good boss, really decent. He was open and personable. I could always talk things out with him. He would listen to you."
The two men served together on several professional boards.
Mr. Gaffney had an engineering background, but he loved learning about the artsy side of life by working with Hale Farm and Stan Hywet Hall. He liked sculptures and paintings.
Mr. Gaffney was active on many other boards, among them the Boy Scouts of America, United Way, Junior Achievement and Portage Country Club.
Mr. Gaffney organized annual fund-raisers for Children's Hospital Medical Center of Akron. "He would match whatever we, the employees, put in," said Terri Harris, a secretary for Air Enterprises. "And he raised quite a lot of money."
A 10 a.m. Mass will be held for Mr. Gaffney at St. Vincent's Catholic Church on Saturday. Calling hours will be 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday and 4 to 8 p.m. Friday at Hummel Funeral Home, 500 E. Exchange St.

Title: Ran towards WTC
From: John A. Bibas
Email: jbibas@ups.com
Date: 15-Aug-02 10:49 AM GMT
Talking about these events does help. Shortly after the attack New Jersey Ambulance Corps were called to mobilize. I left my job as Network Engineer at UPS in New Jersey and made it to our Ambulance Corps Building just in time to see the first Tower fall. No words can describe it. Corps were directed to go to Liberty State Park. There we treated people being evacuated by boat from NYC. We were told that they needed help with the evacuation on the NYC side, so my partner and I got on a Coast Guard boat and went. We truly didn’t know if we’d make it back home.
The terror in the faces of the people running to the boats really shook me. We were ankle deep in rubble and gray soot. A surgeon and two Jersey City Cops came off a boat and we tried to make it to the south Tower of WTC. We got a half block away and were told by the FD that their command post and triage centers were lost when the buildings came down. Then we all heard a jet plane above us, that scared all of us, but it was a US Jet Fighter. We couldn't get closer because you couldn't see past the smoke, etc.
We got on a CG boat and were taken to Chelsea Pier. We helped setup a Surgical and First Aid treatment areas…no patients came. There were hundreds of ambulances there waiting. My partner and I went to Manhattan College and helped setup a First Aid treatment area, mostly for the Police and FD personnel.
Then we made our way to Stuyvesant High School. There was a small treatment area and temporary morgue there. It was used to coordinate the search. The organized search didn't start until about 11:00PM. At that time we went to a building across the street the North Tower (AMEX). We saw the squashed police, fire, and EMS vehicles. The area was surreal.
It seems most of the people who made it to hospitals were from the area or early escapees. These people were mostly taken directly to hospitals. The miracles who were pulled from the wreckage were also taken directly to hospitals.
About 02:00AM my partner and I went back to the treatment area at Manhattan College and relieved a civilian worker. We treated PD and FD personnel.
At 07:00AM we went back to Chelsea Pier, still no patients. It was walking wounded or the dead. The rescue effort was underway and well organized. The police drove us to 42ndST. We got on a NY Waterways Ferry to Weehawken, NJ. I called a UPS co-worker of mine who lives in Edgewater and she met us at the dock. My cell phone was almost dead. We were dirty and tired. At 10:00AM were back in Oakland, it seemed like weeks had past. As luck would have it, an Ambulance call came in. As it turned out, only my partner and I were available to take the call. A woman with pain and numbness in her leg…somehow it didn't seem important. We went through the motions and did the call.
While driving home a neighbor stopped me and asked if I was at the WTC. I told her yes. Then my neighbor said thank you very much for going there. Her words really choked me up. Got home and took a long shower. I didn't want to watch TV, but I couldn't turn it off either. I went to work on Thursday, it helped to keep busy. Waves of emotion that are hard to control come over me from time to time. Since that time I have been back to the WTC twice, under calmer circumstances. The reality hits you when you see the debris, walls with pictures of the missing on them, and groups of Americans holding signs saying "Thank you" and "God Bless You".
I still think of the real heroes who ran in the buildings at the beginning to help evacuate and treat the injured, the building workers who assisted co-workers to get out, and the passengers who tried to retake the plane in PA.

Summer of 'Give and Get' for Professors at NASA Glenn
This month, 45 guest researchers from 28 colleges and universities around the country and the world will begin a summer of collaboration, research and learning at the NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH.
The guests, participants in the Glenn summer faculty fellowship program, will delve into diverse subjects -- from Earth science to rocket science. A few highlights of the summer activities are the fellows' work on improving the dissemination of satellite imagery of Ohio farmlands; a novel idea for sound suppression within a jet engine; a technique to make jet engines virtually emissionless, that is, very clean; improving the durability of ion rocket engine components; and developing testing techniques for new types of batteries.
Although most are engineers, the fellows include geologists, chemists, physicists and astronomers. Each fellow works with a Glenn professional peer and has use of Glenn's many research laboratories and facilities such as high-speed wind tunnels for studying jet engine performance at flight conditions and drop towers for Earth-based studies of low-gravity conditions. Weekly lectures on technical subjects and a several social events round out the summer program.
"The summer faculty fellowship program is tightly woven into the fabric of Glenn, and the research staff eagerly anticipates the arrival of professors each summer," said Francis J. Montegani, university programs manager and Glenn codirector of the program. "Their brief stays with us often develop into lasting professional relationships and long-term benefits to our programs."
The summer faculty fellowship program at Glenn is conducted by Glenn and Case Western Reserve University working through OAI (the Ohio Aerospace Institute), both of Cleveland, OH. The other program codirectors are Joseph M. Prahl, chairman of the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Case Western Reserve University, and Theo G. Keith, Jr., vice president for programs at OAI.
Since 1964, NASA and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) have supported summer fellowships for full-time engineering and science educators at U.S colleges and universities. The major goals of the fellowships are to improve engineering education in the United States by reinvigorating faculty with new knowledge and experiences and to infuse NASA research with fresh ideas and approaches.
The list of the year 2000 Glenn summer faculty fellows and their universities follows:

Local Researchers Recognized by Prestigious National Technical Societies
Three members of NASA Glenn Research Center's Research and Technology Directorate were recently recognized by two of the nation's technical societies. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) have bestowed the grade of Fellow upon the three employees, which places them amongst the ranks of other internationally-renowned subject matter experts.
Criteria for selection as Fellow are rigorous, including: significant achievements in one's field; contributions to societies and their related professions; authoring or contributing to technical publications or reports; and developing patents and inventions.
"This is the highest level that researchers can attain in a professional society and is a testament to their contributions to their respective fields," said Center Director Donald J. Campbell. "This is an indication of the outstanding caliber of researchers that we have as part of our staff."
Robert J. Boyle, aerospace engineer, Turbomachinery and Propulsion Systems Division, has been elected ASME Fellow. Boyle was chosen in part for his contributions to understanding the importance of transition to turbine heat transfer, and to the effects of turbulence and surface roughness on turbine heat transfer. He earned his bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Manhattan College, New York, NY and his master of science degree in engineering science from the University of Toledo, Toledo, OH. Boyle and his wife, Catherine, reside in Rocky River, OH.

HEADLINE: Sie on the set He escaped war-torn China to become Starz Encore CEO
and Denver art-film visionary
BYLINE: By Joanne Ostrow, Denver Post TV/Radio Critic,
BEFORE GIVING a speech at the dedication ceremony for his new 300,000-square-foot Starz Encore headquarters in Englewood, founder and CEO John Sie issued an urgent request: lemon-scented hand wipes. He wanted Gov. Bill Owens to enjoy the barbecue neatly.
'Micro macro man,' Sie says of himself, smiling.
The digital pioneer is famously hands-on. The pay-TV visionary, who hopes to change the cultural climate of Colorado by bringing art films and a higher level of film appreciation here, sees both forest and trees. Not many people can handle so much information at once, so inventively. Sie and his wife, Anna, are the benefactors of the Starz FilmCenter at Denver's Tivoli, construction for which is slated to begin in October, after the Denver International Film Festival. (Typically, the announcement of the FilmCenter was held until he personally edited the press release.)
The state-of-the-art FilmCenter, an educational facility with multiple theaters and screening rooms, aims to rival New York University and UCLA as a film-learning center. The couple gave $ 5 million to the University of Colorado and the Denver Film Society, and hopes to raise almost twice that toward the goal of making Denver a destination for the type of independent films that traditionally haven't reached here.
'I insisted and pushed,' said Anna Sie. 'I wanted Denver to have a Sundance,' referring to Robert Redford's film institute and festival in Utah.
Starz Encore, owned by John Malone's Liberty Media, buys the cable and satellite rights movies from Hollywood studios and makes them available to cable and satellite viewers on an array of channels. The company has overtaken Showtime in terms of cash flow. Sie's next challenge is China. But first, he plans to make Denver an art-film town.
'He's pretty amazing,' said Ron Henderson, director of the Denver Film Society. 'John is committed to his vision. He's the real deal.'
Mark Heckler, dean of the College of Arts and Media at the University of Colorado, could not agree more.
'He is a transformational person. I remember a conversation about what we're trying to accomplish with the creation of the FilmCenter and film school. John peppered people with lots of questions. Then everything changed. He got up and began to pace. He was imagining a future,' Heckler said. 'He drills down deep into an idea, then, boom! - he goes.'
Energetic boss
In the neoclassical Starz Encore offices in Arapahoe County, where 52 continuous streams of digital video leave the building en route to 28 million pay-TV subscribers, he conducts business in the elevators and halls, himself a continuous stream of energy. Sie personally designed the building's dome and atrium.
'He's very visual,' Heckler said. 'He has an appreciation for culture, he's firmly committed to advancing understanding of his Chinese heritage.'
Sie puts it this way: 'I can connect the dots.'
Connect these dots:
After his family fled China during the communist takeover in 1949, Sie taught himself English by copying the words on the chalkboard in high school, where he was mistakenly placed two grades ahead.
He supervised secret U.S. government research while an undocumented alien.
The amplifier he created rode the Vanguard mission to Venus and a model of it is in the Smithsonian.
He invented a way to cut diamonds with lasers en route to founding the nation's largest pay-TV movie provider.
'John, to me, represents the American dream,' says his spirited wife, who came here from Italy.
They met when John was separated and a father of three. Anna thought he was 'the smartest person I had ever met.' They embraced movies as windows on America.
'When you are an immigrant you watch a lot of movies,' she says, speaking from their home in Laguna Beach. That home, along with their newly renovated apartment on New York's Central Park and their newly remodeled home at Denver's Buell Mansion, is wired for two-way video conferencing.
Involved citizen
This week Sie, 66, will be honored as a global 'bridge builder' at the University of Denver Graduate School of International Studies annual Korbel fundraising dinner, (The event is named for Josef Korbel, Czech diplomat and former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's father.) Additionally, the Sies are on the boards of Chinese Children’s Charity and the Denver Art Museum.
He claims he wants to retire; his wife suggests this is not to be believed.
'As usual, she is right,' says University of Denver Chancellor Dan Ritchie.
He notes Sie has 'the largest involvement with China of any outside person in the world.' Sie is the only American allowed to export prime-time TV programming to China, through a deal with the state-owned Chinese Central TV. That entree has tremendous economic implications and, as important, gives Sie a platform for sharing democratic ideals about freedom and human rights with 1 billion Chinese viewers.
Sie launched an annual program to bring Chinese media executives to DU the past three years. And he gives a lecture at Harvard each summer on the subject of competition.
Daughter Michelle Sie Whitten, 35, says, 'We grew up knowing he’s a little different,' especially in terms of problem-solving. He had 'thought boards' in the basement 30 years ago, where he posted ideas like people will one day shop via television.
'He is 200 percent optimistic,' she said.
Sie regularly remarks on his good fortune. With a new corporate jet to shuttle between homes, and a newly adopted Vietnamese grandson to enjoy, it's apparent life has rewarded him.
But luck doesn't begin to explain it. Sie's personal history is like the art piece on his desk, the work of a noted Chinese horse painter. What appears to be a double-sided painting is actually silk embroidery, the result of intensely focused hard work.
'You can't see the knots,' he said.
Escaping two invasions
Sie was born in Nanking, China, in 1936, the son of a diplomat. He didn't come from humble beginnings, but his trajectory was interrupted several times.
His family crossed enemy lines to escape the city in 1937, just after the Japanese invasion. His father was in the Vatican, serving as Minister to the Holy See from China. The rest of the family lived under Japanese occupation, claiming he was away in the countryside.
'Not until two years after the war did he come back,' Sie said. 'I didn't know him. I was 10.'
The family returned to Nanking to attend school.
'The next wave was the communist invasion, the nationalists’ retreat. It was an interesting time,' he said in a moment of studied understatement.
In 1949, at 13, Sie saw men pushing wheelbarrows full of money through the streets as the currency changed and inflation skyrocketed. He recalls chaos, looting, dogfights in the skies.
'Remember 'The Empire of the Sun'? That was exactly my time. I even remember the colored parachutes coming down.'
John, his mother and brothers secured passage on one of the last boats to leave Shanghai for Taiwan before communist forces stormed the city. Sie rode steerage to San Francisco in 1950.
Sie and his older brother Charlie were given the choice of staying in America, in a Catholic orphanage on Staten Island, or moving to Europe. The brothers chose to stay, not least to avoid another long boat trip.
The pain of being abandoned to an orphanage still stings. On the surface, Sie reflects, his father made a financial decision.
'I would not have made that choice,' he said.
His grades improved with his English, and Sie won a full scholarship to Manhattan College.
'Willpower is much stronger than intellect, in my opinion,’ he said. 'The orphanage was a very good place for that. You either become a crook or a good guy.'
He credits the moral teachings of the priests and nuns, coupled with Chinese fables and legends, with giving him a good moral grounding, and refers to that grounding now when discussing the disgraced cable executives and others paraded in handcuffs across the nightly news.
'The CEOs and Wall Street lost their moral bearings,' he told the crowd at the Starz building dedication.
His mother and younger brother returned to the U.S., and in 1955, with their father in Taiwan, John and Charlie worked weekends to support the family. They lived in a $ 50-a-month Bronx apartment.
Sie was awarded an arts scholarship to Cooper Union but turned it down when his father urged him to be practical. Sie earned his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at Manhattan College, then got his master's from Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and was the 1958 recipient of RCA's David Sarnoff fellowship. Rather than pursue a Ph.D. like most of his Chinese friends, Sie became an entrepreneur.
His three-week transit visa had long expired, and Sie regularly feared deportation. Working at RCA's defense electronics lab, he oversaw secret government research projects while an undocumented alien. Even in 1960 when he launched his first business, Microstate Electronics in New Jersey, Sie lacked a security clearance and legal status in this country.
'I would design things, but I couldn't see the final product because it was secret.' He finally got his green card in 1963.
Colorado riches
The book 'Wired Nation' introduced him to the nascent cable industry. He met fellow electrical engineer John Malone in 1972, who hired him to work at Jerrold Electronics.
He was Showtime's head of business development and satellite operations in 1984 when he followed Malone to TCI. The story famously has Malone inviting Sie to come to Colorado and make some ‘real money.' Sie joined TCI, taking a 50 percent pay cut.
In 1991, Sie persuaded Malone to help launch Encore Media Group.
'We were born out of the digital world. It was very opportunistic. Got one channel, then we can do six and 10,' he said.
Encore was knocked at the time for offering cheaper, older, middling titles, endlessly repeated. Critics tagged it 'The ‘Scent of a Woman' Channel.' Analysts questioned the viability of a third pay network; competitors predicted failure.
'Initially it was kind of skinny,' Sie allows. He hammered out exclusive deals with Universal, Miramax, Touchstone, New Line and other studios and proved the network a contender.
Next he created Starz's thematic channels: Westerns, romance, mystery, action, true stories, etc. More channels were added over the next few years, including the first movie channel for African-American audiences, BET Movies, relaunched last year as BlackStarz.
Now Starz Encore has access to 40 percent of Hollywood’s total output. Its 13 channels have more subscribers than Cinemax, Showtime and the Movie Channel, lagging behind only HBO.
The company has grown to more than 550 employees and $ 863 million in revenue, $ 313 million in cash flow in 2001. Analysts are upbeat: Richard Bilotti of Morgan Stanley forecasts $ 974 million revenues and $ 369 million in cash flow for 2002.
'Basically we want to set our sights so that in five years we will overtake HBO,' Sie says.
Audacious, he knows. 'Look at big names like Polaroid, Xerox, Lucent, Bell Labs. These are immutable, innovative smart companies.' And, he notes, each was eclipsed over time.
The future, according to Sie, is subscription video on demand (SVOD). He is convinced people prefer monthly subscriptions to individual transactions.
It's just a matter of connecting the dots.
'That's human behavior. If you remember, the cellphone was never successful until they had a flat rate. The only Internet company that's successful is AOL because they collect a flat monthly rate.'
Eventually, movie buffs might see any movie that's at least five years old for $ 15 a month, anytime, as often as they like.
'That's a good buy, right? Just imagine $ 15 without schlepping to Blockbuster.' While HBO and Showtime boast originals like 'The Sopranos' and 'Soul Food,' Sie isn't convinced he should enter that race.
'Everybody's doing original series. That's fine. That leaves the whole theatrical franchise to me. How lucky can I get?'
China next frontier
Now his business sights are set on China.
Encore International is already the largest U.S. exporter of TV programming to China Central Television. After broadcasting American TV to a prime-time Chinese audience for six years in a partnership with state-owned CCTV, Sie hopes to be the first Western company licensed to operate a cable channel in China.
That job falls to his daughter.
Michelle Sie Whitten is president of Encore International with offices in Beijing. It was her interest in China that prompted her father to revisit his homeland. The subject of China had been taboo during Michelle's childhood.
'Dad was not the most approachable,' she said. At age 12, she found a coffin-size box in the attic full of black-and-white photos of a 'tiny Chinese man in full regalia. It was my grandfather, the first time we knew he was an ambassador.'
When Michelle attended Beijing University in 1987, Sie took a ‘seminal trip,' opening doors to his past and future.
Now, her father says, 'Michelle has the toughest job of all of us.' There are 250 million TV households in China and billions of dollars in untapped advertising revenues. Not to mention the chance to export the American dream through movies.
'China is difficult,' Sie said. 'If we succeed, it will be bigger than everything we do here.'

HEADLINE: Two teens charged in assault on police officer
BYLINE: Danny Lopriore, Staff
Court date set for early September
By Danny Lopriore
Two Eastchester teens accused of assaulting a town police officer will appear in court again on Sept. 11, after their case was adjourned last Wednesday by Town Justice Domenick Porco.
Richard Russo, 19, and Nino Bosco, 17, were charged with second-degree assault, a felony, after a July 29 altercation with police officer Darin Farrell. Russo is alleged to have hit Farrell under the eye and then on top of the head with a bottle, causing a serious cut that required stitches. Bosco is accused of punching Farrell. Police said Farrell pulled over Bosco's minivan shortly after 11 p.m., while responding to reports of a disturbance on Main Street. According to the police report, while Farrell was talking to Bosco, Russo allegedly drove up in his Volkswagen and walked over to the passenger side of the minivan.
After being told several times by Farrell to return to his car, police said Russo pushed Farrell's hand away and punched him under his left eye while holding a bottle.
A struggle ensued, and police said Bosco pushed Farrell, allowing Russo to break free. Russo then is alleged to have hit the police officer on top of the head with the bottle, cutting Farrell's head.
Russo, who started to leave the scene, then returned and was sprayed with pepper spray by Farrell, police said. At that point, additional police officers arrived and took Russo, Bosco and another teen into custody. The third teen was later released without being charged.
Russo and Bosco were released on $5,000 bail the next morning and appeared in court last Wednesday.
Farrell, who was treated for the cut at Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville, returned to duty last week but was assigned "light duty" by the department.
Eastchester Police Chief David Speidell said Farrell was still experiencing some headaches, and would not comment on the case or the investigation.
P.O. John Caliendo, who arrived at the scene of the incident to assist Farrell, reported that he found Farrell kneeling on one knee and bleeding at 9 New Main St. Caliendo proceeded to arrest Bosco, Russo and the third teen, and gathered the broken bottle as evidence, according to the police report.
If convicted of the assault charges, the defendants could face up to seven years in prison, according to Eastchester police.
"This is obviously a very serious matter and I don't think it would be proper to comment because the case is still pending," Speidell said. "We're hoping P.O. Farrell will be back on full duty soon. He's recovering."
Russo is a graduate of Eastchester High School and Bosco, who graduated in June, is expected to attend Manhattan College this fall.

HEADLINE: Immigrant overcomes the barriers to triumph in construction industry
BYLINE: shira j. boss
Daniel Liu knew the terrible odds people faced in trying to launch a contracting firm in the hugely crowded New York market. ''You don't have enough funding, can't get the bonding insurance, and don't have the relationships (that are key to winning private-sector contracts),'' Mr. Liu says.
None of that stopped him. The man who had immigrated from China with $50 in his pocket a decade earlier used his knowledge to sharpen his attack, targeting the market's most inviting flank-the public sector. Armed with a master's in civil engineering from Manhattan College, and a feel for the business that he gleaned from his rise to vice president of an interiors construction firm, he founded D&L Associates Inc. with only a secretary in 1993.
Mr. Liu made a beeline for the New York City School Construction Authority's Mentor Program, which is designed to help startup, minority-owned businesses. The program waives bonding requirements and offers technical assistance and fast-track payments.
Mr. Liu parlayed his initial contract to build a computer lab into a specialty of working on science labs. Four years after joining the Mentor Program, Mr. Liu soared through its ceiling, snaring a $750,000 contract and officially graduating to the open market. In 2000, D&L won a prestigious Minority Contractor of the Year award from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Mr. Liu's firm now boasts a headquarters on Fifth Avenue, 40 employees and $15 million in annual revenues. In the last two years, an increasing amount of revenue has come from private sector jobs, ranging from Manhattan office interiors to houses in Scarsdale, N.Y.
''With other contractors it can be a problem to make changes during the project, but he's very flexible,'' says Jay Wang, general manager of JWE Silk Inc., for which D&L built showrooms and offices.
Mr. Liu has mined the story of his fast march from immigrant-student to successful businessman in many inspirational talks to aspiring minority business owners, including this year's entering class at the SCA's Mentor Program.

Hi John,
I used to receive the regular Jasper Jottings but there was a changeover a year ago and I have lost touch. I had a bunch of my old Manhattan gang over to my home recently which reminded me that I wanted to see to drop you a note to see if your newsletter or others like it still exist. Please let me know when you get a chance.
I appreciate all you have done to date and recognize it takes a lot of personal effort.
Regards,
John Slevin (class of 1978)

Hi John,
Please change my e-mail address from <privacy invoked> to <privacy invoked>.
About a year or so ago, you published the method to subscribe to "manhattan.edu". I'd appreciate if you could reprint the information.
Are there any MC folks who are living in the Research Triangle Park, NC area? Or, are you aware any existing "MC Clubs" in NC?
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Mary Feerick-Pople (Arts '78)
[JR: <1> Done. <2> You can sign up to the alumni web site. I forget exactly the steps need but I’ll do some research. <3> There are 385 Jaspers listed in MCOLDB as in NC. I am not aware of any clubs. BUT, why don’t you start the ball rolling? Give me a call and we could kick around some ideas. A thankless task, but probably fun.]

I was listening to the radio today and I heard Red
Skelton’s broadcast about the pledge of allegiance in 1960. It said about the
“under God” phrase. He said something like it would be too bad if the inclusion
of these two words would make it a prayer and get it thrown out of school.
Prophetic! We should have listened to that “comedian”. And he didn’t even have
use bad language to make us laugh.
Curmudgeon
And that’s the last word.
