Student awarded PhD at 92
=== <begin quote> ===
An Adelaide man will today become what is believed to be the oldest person in the world to receive a PhD.
Ron Fitch, 92, will receive his doctorate from the University of New South Wales, for his research on the South Australian railway system.
Mr Fitch is already the author of two books on the subject, written after he retired as South Australia's railways commissioner in the 1970s.
He says he hopes his PhD will show age is no barrier to completing further education.
"I suppose when you're a bit of an enthusiast it helps a lot," he said. "I'm fortunate enough to keep very good health indeed.
"It might be an incentive to somebody else to say 'well, if this bloke could do it, why can't I?'"
=== <end quote> ===
Why can't I? Why can't you?
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANHATTAN COLLEGE’S SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION CONTINUES WITH THE LECTURE ON: AN ACADEMIC IN WASHINGTON: THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS ESTABLISHING FEDERAL PRIORITIES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
RIVERDALE, N.Y. -- Manhattan College’s sesquicentennial celebration continues with the lecture An Academic in Washington: The Best of Both Worlds Establishing Federal Priorities in Science and Technology on Thursday, November 14 at 4pm in the Leo Engineering Building located on Corlear Avenue, near 240th Street. Duncan T. Moore, Rudolf and Hilda Kingslake professor of optical engineering at the University of Rochester will speak. Admission is free.
During his talk, Dr. Moore will share a variety of personal experiences and anecdotes gathered from activities ranging from his participation on the commission overseeing the initial repair of the Hubble Space Telescope to his serving as associate director of the Office of Science and Technology in the White House.
Dr. Moore will use his broad experience in correlating national public policy with existing and projected levels of science and technology to discuss how various priorities in the United States affect the budgeting of science and technology projects and how this greatly impacts the citizenry of the Country.
By using current topics such as nanotechnology and information technology as examples, he will show how these priorities can significantly affect innovation. Further he will illustrate how various barriers to innovations, for example, shortages in the intellectual and technological workforce and government-imposed regulations, can shape and too often impede the priority-setting and innovation processes. Dr. Moore will conclude his talk with a look into the future and describe the science and technology policies being set into place for 2010 and beyond.
Reservations are required to attend the lecture. For further information, please contact 718-862-7281.
An Academic in Washington is part of Manhattan College’s sesquicentennial celebration. The College believes there is much to gain by examining the relevance of its intellectual tradition to 21st century life. So, throughout the 2002-2003 academic year, Manhattan College is bringing to its Riverdale, New York, campus an impressive array of special guest speakers – thought leaders in such fields as religious studies, education, engineering and the arts.

Hi John,
I'm happy to report that I've just recently gotten married to Nina Dadlani of Oakfield (& NYC), New York. We're both working in London but managed to fly back to Hoboken, NJ for the wedding. After that it was off to Italy's Amalfi coast for a weeklong honeymoon.
Nina works for Sanford C. Bernstein and I'm currently employed with The Transportation Group, an investment bank focused on structured finance within the transportation industry.
As always thanks for all of your efforts on Jasper Jottings.
Best Regards,
Tom Shaw

[JR: Great news. Sounds like a whirlwind wedding. Thanks for the report and the update. I'll buy you a beer then next time I'm in London. Nothing like having an ezine with an international distribution. My efforts really depend on the readers sending me stuff. It's very "thin", unlike me, when there's no participation.]

HEADLINE: MEET THE CANDIDATES FOR POQUOSON CITY COUNCIL
BYLINE: DAVE SCHLECK Daily Press
DATELINE: POQUOSON
Poquoson is the only Peninsula locality where voters next week will decide whom to put on their governing board.
Earlier this year, the Poquoson City Council received permission from the state General Assembly to move its local election from May to November.
City officials wanted the change to spur voter turnout and save time and money by having only one election a year. During the previous City Council election in May 2000, only 18 percent of voters showed up at the polls -- the lowest in recent history.
This year, six candidates are running for three open seats, two for each of the three precincts in Poquoson -- eastern, central and western. Council members are elected to represent the precinct where they live. They serve staggered four-year terms.
Councilman Chris Claud of the Eastern Precinct and Vice Mayor Roger Messier of the Western Precinct are not running for re-election, leaving Councilman Arthur "Binks" Holloway of the Central Precinct as the only incumbent in this year's race.
Most of the candidates have not run for public office in Poquoson before. They represent a variety of fields, including computing, education, military civil service, accounting and shipyard work.
All six candidates are expected to attend a forum sponsored by the Poquoson Exchange Club at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Poquoson High School auditorium.
The election is Nov. 5.
KEVIN V. BRENNAN - CENTRAL PRECINCT
* Age: 54
* Born: New York City; moved to Poquoson in 1991
* Family: Wife, Barbara Marie; daughters, Martina and Christi; son, Timothy
* Education: Bachelor's degree, St. John's University, New York City; master's
degree, Manhattan College, New York City
* Job: Joint training system support specialist, Joint Warfighting Center,
Suffolk
* Community service: Member, the Exchange Club of Poquoson; lector and
catechist, St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Church; English as a Second Language
(ESL) tutor, Refugee and Immigration Service
* What is the most important issue facing Poquoson? How would you address it on
the City Council? An increase in business-tax revenue is needed within the
community to defray the increasing cost of services. With school repairs
needed, as well as an increased compensation package to fire and police
personnel, the city needs to actively recruit businesses to provide both
services as well as tax revenue.
* Why should someone vote for you? A vote for me constitutes the continuance of
the superior quality of life that we currently enjoy as well as providing a
voice for the citizens. My pledge is to work for the people to have their
thoughts, ideas and wants made the cornerstone of all decisions made by
council.
* Do you support the one-campus project the school district is currently
proposing? Why or why not? Fundamentally, the concept is sound. However, the
final decision rests in the hands of the Poquoson citizens, as this is their
decision through referendum. There are clear benefits to the concept but not
without a large price. I think most favor the idea, but there are legitimate
questions about funding.

CANDIDATE FORUM
* Who: Six candidates for three open seats on the
Poquoson City Council
* What: "Meet the Candidates Night." Candidates will introduce
themselves and discuss a key election issue, followed by a question-and-answer

HEADLINE: Republican justice will be unchallenged
BYLINE: Blair Craddock, Staff The Journal News
Suffern Village Justice Matthew J. Byrne will face no opposition next week at the polls.
Byrne, a 36-year-old Republican, has held the part-time judicial post since 1994. He is a partner in the Balsamo, Byrne and Cipriani law firm in Suffern, and an adjunct law professor at Manhattan and Dominican colleges.
Byrne received an undergraduate degree from Manhattan College and his law degree from Pace University Law School.
He said this week that Suffern's court has grown busier in the past eight years, as the village's population and the traffic passing through Suffern on the Thruway have increased.
The court handles traffic cases, landlord-tenant cases, building and zoning violations and small-claims civil cases. It also handles criminal trials in misdemeanor and violation cases, and the early stages of some felony cases, Byrne said.
Because of the increased volume of cases, Byrne said, the court now holds five regularly scheduled sessions a month instead of four. One day a month is set aside strictly for building and zoning cases.
Byrne said he's interested in finding effective ways of dealing with juvenile offenders "in terms of sentencing, and creating an atmosphere where they don't want to come back again."
Suffern's justice court handles cases involving juvenile offenders from ages 16 to 18.
"You kind of get them at a point in their life when they can make a difference," Byrne said of the juvenile offenders. Sentencing options for the youths can include community service, work-release programs under the sheriff's supervision or probation.
The aim is to apply those options in persuading young offenders to stop breaking the law, Byrne said.
The village justice's term is four years and the annual salary is $22,968.

HEADLINE: WAR PROTESTS SCANT AT CITY COLLEGES
BYLINE: By MAGGIE HABERMAN DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER With Micki Berman, Alex Ginserg,
Michael Woodsworth and Sondra Wolfer
An anti-war movement is gaining momentum on college campuses across the city - but professors and students predict it won't reach a fever pitch until the first bomb drops.
Flyers for teach-ins and rallies protesting a war in Iraq plaster student centers at New York University and Hunter College, and a growing number of students are turning out.
But so far, the activists are outnumbered by the apathetic. "It's ridiculous, the number of people not involved in this school," said NYU sophomore Rob LaColla, as he stood outside gathering signatures from students to take chartered buses to Washington for yesterday's anti-war march. While hundreds trekked to Washington, thousands more stayed home and are likely to remain there until the first military strike.
"I think if there was an attack, you would definitely see people" speaking out, said Columbia University freshman Lauren Ajamie.
"There's certainly not any mass activism that I can see. It's not particularly vocal or organized," said Eric Foner, an American history professor at Columbia. "If we really get to the eve of war, there will be a lot more activity."
A reason for much of the silence is that students no longer are faced with a draft, Foner said.
Initial apathy
And he pointed out that during the Persian Gulf War in 1991 - when major protests roiled across campuses nationwide - the military maneuvers were more clear-cut.
"[The war] is a little bit on the vague side right now," Foner said. "It's also important to remember that . . . these things take time. The protests against the Vietnam War took a good while to reach their large size."
Allen Hunter, a senior research associate at the NYU International Center for Advanced Study, agreed.
"It's often hard to mobilize people to prevent something from happening," Hunter said.
Many students said witnessing the attack on the World Trade Center had strengthened their resolve against more violence - but Sept. 11, 2001, is already receding into memory.
"I think people feel connected to it, but in a very removed way," NYU senior Lori Kolb said. "Those of us who were here had a very immediate reaction. And now, everything is so political."
But a groundswell of activism is starting, particularly at NYU and Hunter College.
Newspaper taking role
"More people are getting involved," said Sasa Garcia, 24, a recent Hunter graduate. "Mostly they are people of color because these are the people who get sent to fight."
Hunter's leading campus newspaper, The Envoy, added a supplement titled "Not In Our Name," modeled on a nationwide project that enlists people to take a "Pledge of Resistance" against the war.
There was a "die-in" when demonstrators lay down together on Columbia's College Walk this month. And on Oct. 16, eight NYU activists interrupted "Total Request Live" on MTV and tore off their street clothes to reveal T-shirts with "No War on Iraq" painted on them.
Those making their voices heard aren't only anti-war.
At NYU, flyers taped to the student center by the College Republicans read, "Save the Children . . . Bomb Iraq."
At Columbia, "a lot of the [pro-war side] is invisible," junior Andrew Kim, 21, said. "Most of the campus is liberal, so they're naturally anti-war. But I know a lot of people who also would support the war. They're not vocal, they're not large, but there's a good amount."
At Manhattan College and Fordham University, students said there has been little vocal or visible protest against or support for the war on their campuses.
And aside from the "die-in" at Columbia - a flash point during several other major social movements - there's little sign of campus protest, though many student groups participated in a Central Park anti-war rally of 20,000 demonstrators on Oct. 6.
"I don't know if people think they can make a difference against the American government," said Columbia sophomore Ben Hooberman, 19. "A lot of people feel like, 'I'm just a kid, what can I do about this?' "

HEADLINE: Emerson's image on ballot; Feuding must end, says the Democrat
SOURCE: North Jersey Media Group
BYLINE: DEENA YELLIN, STAFF WRITER
EMERSON -- Surrounded by an oasis of maple trees, strawberry plants, and a fish pond in his immaculately landscaped back yard, Democratic mayoral candidate Louis Lamatina is the picture of peace he hopes to bring to his borough.
"I don't want to see Emerson in the papers. I don't want us to be the butt of jokes," Lamatina says. "We've become well known by the judges of Bergen County for the stuff going on here. I want to bring quiet." Although an attorney by trade, the 45-year-old father of two aims to keep Emerson out of court. A former municipal prosecutor and public defender, he is a member of the County Early Settlement Panel, which tries to resolve divorce cases out of court. He hopes to do the same for Emerson. "A settlement is always better than litigation," he said. Some recent cases in Emerson were matters of "conflict escalating out of hand that should have been resolved."
In recent months, the borough or borough officials have been involved in litigation over land-use disputes, alleged harassment of a police officer, and anonymous postings on a Web site.
Lamatina noted he has a degree in economics and said a goal is to examine borough finances. He said he wants to take a close look to determine the exact cost of preserving the 19-acre Emerson Woods from development.
Lamatina also vowed to revisit some ordinances that have been passed since he left the council in 1997, such as one that makes it more difficult for homeowners to make additions. "A lot of people were upset by that," he says.
Stressing that he wants to be responsive to residents, Lamatina vowed to create an Internet message board for constituents' questions and comments. "I will get back to them within 24 hours," he promised.
But he reserves his greatest passion for his dream of revitalizing Emerson's deteriorating downtown. "I want to redevelop it and expand it, like Westwood, Oradell, and Closter, so that Emerson residents don't have to go to Paramus to shop or eat out." A more vibrant downtown, he adds, would help stabilize taxes.
Some Republicans question Lamatina on the downtown issue, saying that when he was on the council from 1995-1997, little progress was made.
"He never had a plan. I don't remember him saying anything," said outgoing Councilman Vincent Donato, who has clashed with both Democrats and the Republican establishment and said he will vote for neither in November.
Lamatina also stressed his decision in 1997 to abide by an non-binding referendum in which voters supported preserving the Emerson Woods. He voted against council efforts to re-zone the land to make it easier to develop. "You have to do what the constituents want you to do," he says.
He was defeated in a close race in 1997 by Gina Calogero and Jack Quigley, then allies on the Reform Republican ticket.
Since then, Lamatina has gained notice representing Emerson resident and Webmaster Stephen Moldow, who was sued by Calogero and others over anonymous and allegedly slanderous postings on his Web site.
Lamatina successfully argued that Web sites are protected by Congress and the courts as bastions of free speech. "We have people around the world running Web sites and sites may shut down if Webmasters are threatened by lawsuits," he said.
Lamatina's running mates are Jeanine Lamatina and Alan Bernstein, a computer supervisor at Valley National Bank.
Bernstein narrowly lost a council bid last year when four candidates seeking two seats were divided by 64 votes.
There is one Democrat on the council, and Republicans traditionally run government in the town - a point seized on by Democrats.
"Republicans have controlled the town for the past 20 years. Considering what has gone on in the past five years, the town is way overdue for a change in leadership," Lamatina said.
His wife, Jeanine, acknowledges that she has little political experience, save for a stint in student government at Manhattan College, where she met her husband. But she asserts that she can contribute a new perspective to the council. "I'm a mother, a volunteer at the schools, and a Girl Scout leader for the past six years. I know issues affecting children and parents. I can bring a different way of thinking to the council," she said. "I know what would be best for the children of this town."
But with all his plans for change in Emerson, he said the most important thing he can offer his constituents is his record. "The most important thing is that we have someone with experience who knows what to expect," he said.

VOLLEYBALL SWEEPS RIDER, 3-0
RIVERDALE, NY (November 1, 2002) – The Manhattan College volleyball team swept Rider University three games to none this evening in Draddy Gymnasium. The game results were 30-24, 30-17 and 30-23.
The Lady Jaspers advance to 23-2 overall and 5-1 in the MAAC, while the Broncs fall to 4-20 and remain winless in the MAAC at 0-6.
Manhattan and Rider exchanged rallies for most of the first game, until a kill by freshman Megan O'Dorisio (San Diego, CA) put the Lady J's up by six. A solo block by freshman Marija ‘Maggie' Pfeifer (Liberty, MO) sealed it for the win at 30-24. Manhattan led 28-11 in the second game before the Broncs pushed back for five points. An assist by Bridgett Geddes (Escondido, CA) to Allison O'Neill (Houston, TX) ended the game at 30-17. In the final game, Rider came out fighting taking a 6-0 lead. Manhattan rallied back and tied the score six times before a kill by senior middle hitter Lauryn McKinney (San Diego, CA) set the tempo for the Lady Jaspers. Manhattan then went on a 5-1 run to win the game 30-23.
The Lady J's were led by senior co-captain Amy O'Dorisio (San Diego, CA), who had 10 kills, one error on 19 attempts for a .526 hitting percentage. Freshman libero player Ashley Davis (Naperville, IL) led the defense with 10 digs, while Pfeifer totaled five service aces and four blocks.
Rider was led by Stefanie Lombardo, who had 11 kills for the night followed by Jaclyn Levi, who had a double-double of 10 kills and 10 digs.

Dear Curmudgeon,
As a fellow New Jersian, I too continue to be amazed at the apathy of my fellow citizens to the slick chicanery of these clubhouse political hacks in our "Garden" state. The Democrats here are hoping that Lautenberg can win on the sole basis that his name is known. No votors who would look beyond the name would vote for him because they would see the terrible voting record he had when he used to be their senator. That is why Lautenberg is dodging when it comes to debating Forester, for fear that it would bring his abysmal past voting record into public view, since the press has been complicit in keeping Lautenberg's voting record a deep dark secret. However, these days nothing surprises me when it comes to politics, as the rest of "Boobus America" is no more vigilant, nor concerned about being hoodwinked by corrupt politicians than the voters of New Jersey. For the past 50 years, these socialist Democrats have slowly drained all self-reliance and ambition out of the American public by weaning them onto government give-away programs and high taxes, to the point that the public is too busy working two jobs to pay these unconscionable taxes that they have not realized that they are being robbed by the very politicians who use these taxes to buy votes that keep themselves in power. Americans have traded their freedom for security. My biggest concern in New Jersey is that this latest illegal Democratic scheme is even more insidious than it currently appears. I fear that we will find that if Lautenberg is actually elected, the vague rumors of his increasing senility are true, and that soon after being sworn in as our senator, he will resign, thereby permitting Governor "McGreedy" to appoint Torricelli to this Senate seat. If such a travesty of the Law were to occur, we could only hope that there would be enough vigilant patriots in New Jersey who would then pick up their guns and drive every one of these rats out of our statehouse. Don't hold out much hope that the Republicans would prevent such a travesty from happening, since they too are more concerned with remaining in power, and have been prevented from doing the right thing for America by their fear of being demonized in the press
[JR: Agreed. I'll meet you down at the statehouse!]

John,
I was just up on campus and meeting with some folks today and Jasper Jottings came up. I just finished up an employment contract and I have begun my search for my next opportunity. It was suggested by Marjorie Apel, Director of Career Services, that I contact you to let subscribers know of my position and possibly spark some interest. If this seems like a reasonable suggestion, how should I go about it in terms of format, content, etc. Please advise.
I think Jasper Jottings is a great idea and I know we all are grateful to you for your stewardship.
Regards,
Bill O'Connell

Hi Bill: Jasper Jottings could serve as a way to let about a thousand of your fellow alums know what you are looking for in one swoop. Some people have just put up a straight resume and I know of at least 5 instances where that has sparked interest resulting in interviews. At the first NYC alumni club I personally matched four "sellers" and "buyers", although I never heard how that worked out.
You said "employment contract", and to me that could either mean consulting or nose-bleed level. So, I don't know how into this stuff you are. You might want to consider placing a "networking profile" as opposed to a straight resume. The difference is you'll be asking the readers for "leads" as opposed to "jobs".
As one of my spare time hobbies I counsel out-of-work execs, fat old white men who find themselves with the deer-in-the-headlights look and out of work. I have some stuff, which I shoot to them, that at least gets them moving in the right direction. I didn't respond with that because you might not need it, be ready for it, or have your own method.
Additionally, several Jaspers on the list are "head hunters", excuse me executive search consultants. You might want to talk to them.
Whatever I can do to help, I am willing. You may want to look at some past issues for some fell for how it runs. I have the last few issues stocked on a free web site at : http://ferdinand_reinke.tripod.com/
If you are interested I can add you to the weekly distribution.
Thanks for your kind words. It certainly seems to have a niche. I just collect "stuff", it's the reader's participation that makes it interesting. At least from my pov.
Let me know what I can do to help.

I have about a three month "runway" before my eyes will be fixed in those headlights, but I am getting busy now. I will craft a "networking profile" as you suggested and let those who may be interested contact me for a resume if they are interested. I'll send that along under separate cover. Thanks.

I just completed a one-year employment contract as Chief Information Officer at a manufacturer of dietary supplements and I am now in the process of looking for lead to my next position. I have over twenty-two years of management and executive experience in Information Technology. I have worked in four different industries (Architect/Engineering, Telecommunications, Financial Services, and Manufacturing) and I have three different degrees (Bachelor of Engineering, MBA, and MS in Computer Science) that indicate that I learn pretty quickly and I have been successful in each of these industries. My greatest strength is in understanding business problems and finding ways of applying Information Technology in solving them to reduce expenses or grow the business. I am willing to relocate and I would like to explore the opportunities for a CIO position in any of the above industries or in the Health Care industry. If anyone can share some information or leads in these areas I would appreciate it. You can contact me at <privacy invoked> c/o jottings, if you have a lead, would like to talk, or would like to see a copy of my resume for more detail about my background.

HotJobs' JOB TIP OF THE DAY
BE OLD-FASHIONED
Many people think that blasting their resume is a great way to look for their next job. Yet resume blasting rarely gets interviews, never mind jobs.
I recommend that job seekers spend less time hiding behind technology like e-mail and do three things: Call, call and call.
The old-fashioned, personal call is the new way to go these days.
First, you need to find the right company and get to the right person.
Focus your research on identifying the companies most likely to hire you. Look for companies that either need someone with your expertise or are simply doing a lot of hiring.
Once you have a list of companies, write down everyone you know in your network and then call them. Networking is about action, which means picking up the phone and leveraging current contacts to develop new contacts.
Ask your contacts if they know anyone in your target companies that might be willing to talk to you or who could refer you to the best person to speak with. Not only will you have someone new to call, you'll also have your first contact's name to use as a referral and to make that next cold call a little easier.

He is widely recognized as an authority on global hiring trends and issues, having successfully placed hundreds of senior executives at Fortune 500 and high-profile venture-backed companies.
[JR: I am not so sure that this is great advice. Calling is labor-intensive, costly, time-consuming, and inefficient use of your network. I would suggest that there might be some better methods (i.e., Lucht's Job Changing at 100k+ Second edition). A networking profile is in vogue at the turkey farms now. As a three-time alumni, I can refer to it that way. The network profile would alert your network to what type of position you were interested in and the companies you're targeting. This advice tells you to call all the nodes in your net. The better model is to allow your net to alert you when something flies into the web. I can send anyone interested what I call my "executive – in-headlights" kit with samples.]

"Regardless of which major party prevails on November 5, the federal government will continue to grow and Americans' freedom will continue to shrink," said George Getz, Libertarian Party communications director. "Asking the who-will-control-Congress question is a way to hoodwink voters into believing that real differences exist between Democrats and Republicans."
A plague on both their houses. All they do is decrease our freedom, infringe on our rights, raise our taxes, debauch our currency, train people to trust government for "solutions", increase violent crime with ridiculous proven-to-fail drug prohibition laws, imprison harmless drug users, corrupt the political process with "contributions" that are nothing more than veiled transfers to big labor / big business / big trial lawyers from the public treasury, increase corporate welfare, kill innocent children both thru abortion and the "child welfare system", dumb down our society through "public education", … … ….
I could go on and on. I will be there on Election Day to vote. I hope that every reader does the same. I urge everyone to vote "liberty". Vote as if your life, and the lives of all the children, depends upon it, because it does. Vote like the "children" of the patriots who came before us, some of whom sacrificed everything to give us this chance. I especially commend Initiative Question #1 to the citizens of Taxachusetts. To my fellow citizens of New Jersey, all I can say is plan to move, the corruption is terrible.
