"Proving that persistence is the key to success, Steve Fossett, on his sixth attempt, finally becomes the first person to fly a balloon around the world. But he still has to get his aptly named balloon, the Spirit of Freedom, on the ground."
This week I'll try to do the things that I have always wanted to but have dropped by my own un-doings. Inspired by this example, maybe here is still hope for an inveterate procrastinator like me.. Maybe you'll do the same.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

BR. ALVARO RODRIGUEZ ECHEVERRIA, SUPERIOR GENERAL OF THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS TO BE HONORED AT MANHATTAN COLLEGE’S ANNUAL FALL HONORS CONVOCATION
RIVERDALE, N.Y. -- Br. Alvaro Rodriguez Echeverria, superior general of the order of the De La Salle Christian Brothers, will receive an honorary Doctor of Pedagogy degree from Manhattan College during the College’s Fall Honors Convocation on Sunday, October 20 at 4pm in the Chapel of De La Salle and His Brothers.
Brother Alvaro became the superior general on June 2,
2000; the 26th leader of the order founded in the 17th century by Saint
Born in 1942 in San Jose, Costa Rica, Brother Alvaro worked in Guatemala and Nicaragua during the 1970s and 1980s when there was, in effect, an undeclared war going on between the notorious Death Squads and the ordinary people of those countries, which resulted in thousands of deaths.
As a teacher, director of a Christian Brothers school, and provincial of the District of Central America, Brother Alvaro personally experienced the violence and the underlying tensions of these difficult years for the Brothers, their students, and families.
Brother Alvaro graduated from Universidad La Salle Mexico. He then joined the Central America District of the Christian Brothers and professed his perpetual vows in 1968. He has been a professor and has held various positions within the De La Salle Christian Brothers including director, auxiliary visitor, visitor of Central America district, and vicar general.
Recognizing the vital role teachers play at Manhattan College, five professors will receive a Lasallian educator award during the ceremony. Those being honored are: Alfred Manduley, assistant professor of marketing from the school of business, Zella Kahn-Jetter, professor of mechanical engineering from the school of engineering, Winsome Downie, professor of government from the school of arts, William Tramontano, professor of biology from the school of science and Karen Nicholson, associate professor of education from the school of education.
During the ceremony, more than 100 seniors will be inducted into Epsilon Sigma Pi, the oldest college-wide honor society on campus. Students who have earned a scholastic index of 3.4 for the first six semesters at Manhattan College are eligible for membership.
Celebrating 150 years of excellence in Lasallian education, Manhattan College, located in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, is an independent, Catholic, coeducational institution that offers more than 40 major fields of study in the programs of arts, business, education, engineering and science.

I think I might already have posted here about this, but what the hell. I don't remember the name of the electronic programmable printing calculator the Math Dept. had in the basement at Horace Mann School. It could be manually programmed with a sequence of commands (not keystrokes; you couldn't get it to memorize a number entered on the keypad), completely volatile, no storage once turned off. I think the limit was 64 such commands. It had 2 accessible registers, one of which would do +,-,X,/, and IIRC square root operations, and the other of which would do just + and -; in addition, * would clear it to 0 after the computation (as opposed to diamond, which would continue to accumulate), and 2 other memories. Printing the main register's contents was a command, but it would also print on a manual interrupt IIRC. It had no branching, but would loop from the last to the first command in a program. Mostly people used that feature to demonstrate convergence of an infinite series. Meanwhile I employed tricks such as forcing a halt by dividing by 0, and synthesizing a 1 by dividing a number by itself. By using every trick and almost all 64 command entries, I programmed a random number generator by the square-and-use-the-middle-digits routine. Marc Blank (later of Infocom) and Alex Citron used it for CWABL, the Citrablamatic Whizamadingy Automatic Baseball League, a type of fantasy baseball.
And that was AFTER we'd taken a trimester of Fortran II using our card punch and Manhattan College's computer.
Later someone brought in a toy whose name I forgot -- a plastic kit that allowed one to build a computer of about 4 bits that operated by crank. It could be programmed to play crosses & naughts.
The school also had an electric toy consisting of a breadboard & plug wires. On the board were some relays and a motorized rotary switch that could be used as a clock. Some of the plug wires included resistors and there were also capacitors on the board. You could make some flip-flops and have synchronous operation with the clock, or asynchronous operation using the other circuit elements. I/O (Why is there a slash there, indicating alternation rather than union?) was via push buttons, toggle switches & lights.
Then I found some analog device in a junk drawer in the Phsyics Lab. I don't remember what it was; maybe just a bridge. However, between that and some digital device I decided it was time to announce via the blackboard in the Chemistry classroom, "Visit the all-new, COMPUTERIZED HM Fizix Lab." Someone added, "on the 5th floor", one floor higher than we had.

"I live in a residence hall," said Brother Thomas Scanlan, now in his fourth five-year term at Manhattan. "It's how I get to know the students."
"They must keep you awake," I said. "I'm a sound sleeper," replied Tom Scanlan, a diplomat as well as an educator.
This year, Manhattan celebrates 150 years of educating young New Yorkers. It began life in upper Manhattan (hence its name), and for its first century was largely Catholic, male and Irish.
These days, it's still Catholic, but there are only eight Christian brothers left. Half of the undergrads are women, 25% of the students are minorities, and two-thirds of the total are Catholic. Most qualify for some form of financial aid.
When I was at
Brother Tom and I lunched earlier this month to talk about the college's sesquicentennial doings, the spiffy new library, a pending evening (Nov. 12) with Manhattan alumnus Rudy Giuliani (class of '65), and the latest U.S. News & World Report ratings of colleges and universities.
"They do it very well," said Brother Tom, "and we get a high regional score."
But he thinks that as good as the ratings are quantitatively, they don't sufficiently weigh qualitative considerations.
Aside from alums like Rudy and former NYU prez Jay Oliva and best-selling author Jim Patterson, Brother Scanlan points out, "Manhattan has long had a specific mission and has an expertise in reaching out to first-generation college students. It's a challenge to them. There's no history of college in the family, and their SAT scores may not be the highest. So we'd score better if variables like that were considered."
Not that Manhattan has anything like an open admissions policy. "You do them no favor just to take them in and then have to drop them out," said Brother Scanlan.
He'd been in Washington the week before, attending a meeting of the American Council for Education. The agenda? "The Congress next year will be taking up funding, student loans, graduation rates and, of course, visas.
According to Brother Tom, "When a student changes his status in any way, we have to mail a postcard to the INS. By now, they have an entire warehouse of postcards."
And with Rudy in private life, does the college still have a friend in city government? Saintly Brother Tom gave me a grin. "Well, Ray Kelly is a Manhattan grad."

VOLLEYBALL HOLDS OFF LATE RAM RALLY
Lady Jaspers Win 3-1 for 15 Match Win Streak
RIVERDALE, NY (October 1, 2002) – The Manhattan College volleyball team held off the Fordham University Rams three games to one to win its 15 consecutive match tonight in Draddy Gymnasium. The game results were 30-23, 30-23, 25-30 and 33-31.
The Lady Jaspers advance to 15-1, while the Bronx rival Rams drop to 7-10.
Manhattan won the first game 30-23 after getting past a few errors. In the second game, the Rams and Lady Jaspers exchanged back-to-back points before the hitting power of junior setter Goedele ‘Luka' Van Cauteren (Oetingen, Belgium) and junior Krista Thorsen (New City, NY) put Manhattan on top. A block by senior co-captain Bridgett Geddes (Escondido, CA) and senior middle hitter Lauren Belcher (Huntington Beach, CA) sealed the game at 30-23. Fordham's Beth Crockett, who had 17 kills for the night, took complete control at the net in the third game to lead her team to a 30-25 win. In the final heart stopping game, two service aces by Thorsen brought Manhattan to a three- point lead. However, the Rams weren't finished yet and pushed back to regain the lead. An assist by Geddes to Van Cauteren tied the game at 30-30 and Thorsen's fourth ace for the evening sealed the win at 33-31.
Belcher had a season-high 17 kills for a .538 hitting percentage, while Van Cauteren also had 17 kills, 20 assists and nine digs. Amy O'Dorisio (San Diego, CA) led the team in digs with 21 and Geddes led in assists with 37 and in blocks with four. Fordham was led by Roxanne Hill who had 17 kills and 10 digs.

If it was my problem, (after carefully considering the implication of it being "my problem" and putting a young person in that type of situation, I would try three things: meet with the College's staff, find a local realtor, and drive up on a week end and ask around – local superintendents, the manager at the diner, local business guys, and the taxi drivers. But that would be my approach.]

Hi,
My name is Nat Bosco class of 77. I recently ran across Bill Gildea class of 62 who told me about a newsletter you distribute. I would be interested in receiving it. I don't know if you are distributing it electronically or on paper. If electronic, then please send it to the email address on this email. If snail mail then send it to <privacy invoked> Huntington, NY 11743
Thanks,
Nat Bosco
[JR: Electronic only because electrons are cheap and this is a near-zero budget operation. I hope you picked Bill up after you ran across him. In my experience, "Old" Jaspers have a hard time getting up by themselves, as opposed to us "young" guys. You're on the list. Advise if you have any problems.]

Dems 'Torch' Ploy a 'Game,' Says McGreevy
=== <begin quote> ===
New Jersey Gov. James McGreevy admitted on Friday that Democrats had been successful in getting the New Jersey State Supreme Court to replace Sen. Robert Torricelli on the ballot with former Sen. Frank Lautenberg because they knew how to "game" the system.
"That's the way the game is played," McGreevy told nationally syndicated radio host Sean Hannity. "Those are the rules of the game in a constitutional system."
"Clearly, in this particular case this will benefit the Democrats because Torricelli gets out (and) Lautenberg is a stronger candidate," the New Jersey governor noted.
But while he insisted that the court was acting in the interests of preserving the two party system in his state, McGreevy described his party's decision to petition the court as a winning tactic in a "game."
"The fact that the Democrats did it after 51 days - they subjected themselves to the equitable remedy of the court," he told Hannity.
"The court could have ruled 7-0 or 4-3 against us," McGreevy noted. "That's the way the game is played. Those are the rules of the game in a constitutional system."
=== <end quote> ===
Well it is up to the militia, the citizens of New Jersey to enforce the law. Unfortunately, the citizens of this country seem to be short of knowledge, initiative, and resolve. A society depends upon "civic virtue", which seems to be in short supply these days. Time will tell. Can Massachusetts repeal the state income tax? Can New Jersey rebuke Torricelli? Can America avoid another rentangling foreign war? Only time will tell if we are really on the road to the end of the American empire, Pax Americana, and a unique experiment in liberty.
Speak out, Vote, and Pray.
Curmudgeon
And that’s the last word.
