The Manhattan College Alumni Database has had a change made that I as a user can see. It appears to be superficially marking who has "joined" but it may be useful to determine "active" Jaspers. You can also reset the "Lost / Deceased" indicator. So if you die, please update your database record promptly? Seriously, I find that concept sickly amusing.
===
As we come to the new year, does anyone have any suggestions for Jasper Jottings either content or format-wise, I am kinda pleased with it, but there is always value in thinking about it. I use the end of year as a signal to look at what I am doing on a routine basis to see if my habits are making me less efficient, effective, or just plain dumb. So if you have an idea, while I can't say for sure I'll implement it, I would like to hear it and think about it.

ALL BOILER PLATE is at the end.

Two stories celebrating real heroes who serve their country. The first sacrifices money; the second made the ultimate sacrifice:
NFL player Pat Tillman is turning down $3.6 million, and the glamour of professional football, to try out for a new job: Army Ranger, which pays $18,000 per year. (Last year, he turned down a $9 million, five-year offer from the Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams so he could stay with the perennially losing Cardinals for less money.) Perhaps best of all, Tillman has rejected all media requests for an interview about his decision to quit football to try to make the elite special forces unit.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,57192,00.html
Rocky Versace was a Vietnam prisoner of war who, under conditions of torture, still defied his captors: as a result of his resistance, the Viet Cong executed him on September 26, 1965. Versace becomes the first Army POW to be awarded the Medal of Honor for actions taken under captivity during the Vietnam War.
http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/07/08/bush.medalofhonor.ap/index.html
Doing what is right can be tough. That's why it is important to get in the habit when the stakes are small. Hope that when my time comes, I'm not found lacking.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

MANHATTAN COLLEGE RECEIVES GRANT TO STUDY THE CORROSION OF SEWER PIPES
RIVERDALE, N.Y. --- Manhattan College’s department of environmental engineering, in partnership with the engineering firm of Gannett Fleming, has received a $100,000 grant from the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.
The grant will fund a preliminary study on the corrosion of sewer pipes and its effects on the beneficial reuse of wastewater treatment plant biological solids for land application and fertilizer production.
The year-long study will be carried out in the College’s environmental engineering laboratory under the direction of Jersey City, New Jersey, resident Robert Sharp, associate professor of environmental engineering and Redding Ridge, Connecticut, resident, John Mahony, professor of environmental engineering.
===
SCIENCE AND ART MEET AT MANHATTAN COLLEGE
RIVERDALE, N.Y. -- Take billions of bacteria found in neon fish, place them in petri dishes and let them grow for 24 hours. As the bacteria grow, they begin to glow. The result is Bioglyphs, an interdisciplinary, interspecies exhibition on display at Manhattan College’s O’Malley Library, Saturday, December 7, 6-8 p.m.; Sunday, December 8, 6-9 p.m.; Monday, December 9, noon to 6 p.m.; and Tuesday, December 10, noon to 6 p.m. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
Working together to create a bridge between science and art, the exhibition is a collaboration among Manhattan College’s department of environmental engineering, the Center for Biofilm Engineering and the School of Art at Montana State University-Bozeman, and, of course, the ocean.
To create the bioluminescent paints, the bacteria are first placed on a petri dish. At first the bacteria act like an invisible ink. But then the microorganisms go to work; multiplying on the plates and producing a blue-green light within 24 hours. The biolumine scent paint lasts approximately 7 days as light production peaks and then begins to decline, as available nutrient is used up. The Bioglyphs exhibition allows viewers to have direct sensory contact with microscopic organisms that live in the remote depths of the ocean where they create their own light.
For more information about the exhibition, call (718)862-7276. Manhattan College is located at West 242nd Street near Broadway in the Riverdale section of the Bronx.

NEW YORK CITY RESIDENT ZELLA KAHN-JETTER NAMED LASALLIAN EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR 2002-2003 AT MANHATTAN COLLEGE
RIVERDALE, N.Y. -- Zella Kahn-Jetter, a New York City resident and professor of mechanical engineering at Manhattan College, was named Lasallian Educator of the Year 2002-2003 during the College’s annual Fall Honors Convocation.
A member of the Manhattan College faculty since 1988, Dr. Kahn-Jetter was honored during the ceremony with a citation that read in part, “Among your students, you are renowned for the energy you devote to your teaching, and for your generosity with your time, encouragement, and advice outside the classroom. Particularly noteworthy are your efforts to foster the growth and success of the increasing number of women who have chosen to make engineering their career; for them you serve as mentor and role model.”
Dr. Kahn-Jetter received her bachelor’s degree from Cooper Union, her master’s degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and her Ph.D. from Polytechnic University.
=====
RIVERDALE, N.Y. -- Manhattan College recently inducted 10 students into Chi Epsilon, the national honor society for students of civil engineering.

Patterson just ignores critics
Stripped-down style helps gets readers involved, he says
By JAY MACDONALD Special to The News-Press
As a kid, James Patterson wouldn't read.
As an adult, he writes books that kids can't put down.
He spent the 25 years in between parlaying his copywriting talent and marketing savvy into a distinguished career in advertising, becoming the youngest chief executive officer of J. Walter Thompson, North America, and serving as its chairman from 1990-1996.
It was a rather spectacular day job by writers' standards, and one that he is still asked to defend, as if his success at selling Whoppers and Kodak cameras gave him some unfair insider advantage on how to write books that capture the public's imagination. Critics contend that Patterson's fiction style owes much to lessons learned on Madison Avenue: fast-moving, straightforward plots, short chapters, stripped-down narrative, easily grasped characters and names that stick in the mind. Nothing unduly complex or deep.
Patterson contends his books serve a higher calling: turning nonreaders into readers.
"As a kid, I was a very good student and I hated to read. I still hate 'Silas Marner.' I think they gave us books at my high school that just were not turn-ons for us," he says by phone from his Palm Beach home. "You've got to start with rock 'n' roll and you may get to jazz. And if it stops at rock 'n' roll, that's OK, too. I'm more rock 'n' roll, and some people, that's what they like. It's a good place for a lot of people. It's escape."
Patterson happened upon his signature style quite by accident.
"I had written about 150 pages of a book called 'The Midnight Club' (1988) and I was planning to really flesh it out, and I just happened to read the pages and I went, you know, this is different and this is good," he recalls. "Then I started telling stories in a little more colloquial fashion, the way we tell stories orally; we don't put in a lot of excess detail. It would be terrible if all books were written this way but all books aren't and I think it's good that a few books are written this way."
He received all the encouragement he needed on book tours to continue in that vein.
"Four stops in a row on the last tour, a teacher brought in their high school class, the reason being that for a lot a kids, it's the first book that they ever read that they say that they liked. And because they like them they'll talk about them. When you can get kids to talk about books, then you can actually get them to learn about structure and characterization and all that stuff. But if they won't talk about them, it's hopeless."
Patterson grew up in Newburgh, N.Y., the son of an insurance salesman and a schoolteacher. He was a high school athlete, more inclined to play hoops than open a book. But a summer job unexpectedly turned him into a voracious reader.
"I moved up to Massachusetts and worked at the mental hospital that's in the movie 'Girl Interrupted' and I had a lot of time because I worked a lot of night shifts. I started going into Cambridge and just picking up tons of books and was reading my butt off," he says. "It was all serious stuff but I loved it. I also started to write then. That was a big dream."
He graduated summa cum laude in English from Manhattan College and earned his master's degree in English from Vanderbilt University before joining J. Walter Thompson as a junior copywriter in 1971.
Despite his daily copy chores, the writing bug wouldn't let go. Did he begin to envision a fiction career?
"Not really. I thought that it was presumptuous to think that I could be a writer. But I loved it. I got the job in advertising and I wrote on the side. My first novel ("The Thomas Berryman Number") was turned down by 32 publishers and won an Edgar, so go figure."
He published three novels in the '70s. These days, he is turning out three a year, triple the average annual output among thriller writers. Patterson estimates he turns out a draft a month writing in longhand. He has help from researchers and occasionally co-writer Peter De Jonge, with whom he wrote last summer's hit, "The Beach House" and the upcoming medieval thriller, "The Jester."
At present, he has eight books under way, including a third in his Women's Murder Club series, a second love story in the vein of last year's "Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas" and a ninth Alex Cross thriller.
Does he find the variety an effective cure for writer's block?
"That's definitely a piece of it," he admits. "So is doing a draft a month because if I get to a chapter and it's just not coming, I go, 'I'll get it on the next draft.'"
Is there a genre that he would like to explore next?
"Horror," he says without hesitation. "I really liked the early Stephen King and I don't find anybody doing stories like that anymore. They were real scary, tight stories. Even like 'Rosemary's Baby.' Most of them now, there's too much atmosphere for me, or they're just too goofy. I can't wait."
As far as his involvement with the marketing of his books, Patterson says he was hardly the first.
"I think if you go all the way back, a lot of very successful writers have been involved in the marketing. I think Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald were really involved in it. I think anybody who has half a brain goes, 'Wait a minute, I've written this thing, I want people to read it.' I think smart authors have always been involved."

If you play in it, they will come.
The Long Island Exceptional Senior soccer games were held at Farmingdale State yesterday, and for players such as Seaford senior Joseph Neufeld, it was an opportunity to showcase his talent.
More than 60 men's college coaches from Maine to South Carolina roamed the sidelines as Neufeld made the most of his 80 minutes in the spotlight for Nassau Blue in its 2-2 tie with Suffolk Red in the early game.
"I just wanted to stay relaxed. I tried not to worry about all the coaches being there," Neufeld said. "I played as well as I could." The fullback was one of 236 soccer players, boys and girls, to take part in the 22nd annual event hosted by the Long Island Junior Soccer League. In all, there were six games with all-star seniors from Long Island and New York City private schools.
"A lot of college teams are just finishing up their season," Randy Vogt of the LIJSL said. "They haven't had a chance to think about next year. Now they can look ahead, starting with these great players."
A player's ability is always important, but many coaches look for qualities you can't measure in goals and saves.
"I'm looking to see if they're mature, coachable, and if they're aggressive," Southampton men's coach Andreas Lindberg said. "Most of all I like to get a feel of how they will actually fit into the program."
After the game Neufeld headed for the gym with copies of his academic and athletic resume. He scanned the rows of tables decked with team banners looking for schools with a finance major, and possibly some scholarship money.
"My older daughter is in Manhattan College and the next one coming along is two years behind him," his mother, Claire Neufeld, said. "So any help would be great."
Sarah Olechnowski probably crossed paths with Neufeld as she strolled around the gym. Smithtown's senior midfielder had just finished playing the girls early game, scoring a goal for the Suffolk Red team, which beat the Suffolk Blue team, 2-0.
"It's so important to play in a game like this because it's such a good opportunity to be seen," Olechnowski said. For Olechnowski, the game provided her with an opportunity to chat with different coaches at Division I, Division II and Division III schools. But for the coaches, it gives them one glance at a standout athlete.
"We've already heard about these players," said Oneonta women's soccer coach Tracey Ranieri, who added that 43 percent of her team comes from Long Island. "This is our opportunity to see them individually. We want to see how they play on a team that they aren't used to. We also want to see the player's personality and specific playing style."
Olechnowski, who played on the Suffolk Class A champion Smithtown team, said she became more intrigued after talking to Ranieri.
"You could really tell that they care a lot about soccer," said Olechnowski, who added that she is still undecided which college she will attend next year. "That's why I like this day."

ITHACA
There are a lot of new faces on the Little Red team, which has only five returning players and no seniors this season.
The most important newcomer could be coach Faye Young Miller, who brings a wealth of experience to the Ithaca program.
Miller, who played for Hall of Fame coach Kay Yow at North Carolina State in the late 1970s, was the coach at Manhattan College and an assistant at Georgia Tech, but she hasn't coached in eight seasons.
"I got out of the game to raise a family," said Miller, whose husband teaches mechanical engineering at Cornell University. "This is sort of my jump back into it."
Miller may need every bit of that experience as she inherits an Ithaca team that returns only one starter, junior forward Cindy McClain.
An all-league player last season, McClain scored a team-high 13.6 points per game last season. Junior small forward Lindsay Smith, who shares the captain duties with McClain, also will try to share the scoring load.
Three freshmen -- Casey Bangs, Aliya Feuer-Whittlesey and Sophie Lerdahl -- will all see significant minutes.

HEADLINE: Westchester needs to hear more people of color
BYLINE: Warren Jackson, Freelance OK
Warren Jackson
The commentary of Warren Jackson, a former columnist for this newspaper, returns to The Journal News starting today. A recently retired businessman, he has been a resident of Westchester for 35 years. He is vice chairman of The Jackie Robinson Foundation's Board of Directors and recently retired from the Board of Trustees of Manhattan College.
It's been more than a decade since I last wrote a column for a Westchester newspaper. I guess you could say this commentary represents my journalistic comeback. Some comebacks, like those of Joe Louis going against Ezzard Charles, or Jersey Joe Walcott's second bout against Rocky Marciano, or Walter Mondale's most recent bid for political office, proved to be ill-fated. I'm hoping to pattern my return after the likes of Frank Lautenberg, who at age 78, came out of retirement to return to Congress as the esteemed senator from New Jersey. Or boxer George Foreman who, at age 45, bested his opponent to become world heavyweight champion and king of corporate pitchmen. Since my last column, I'm happy to say that Westchester has become an increasingly diverse community, making room for people with an array of ethnic backgrounds. Westchester looks a lot different than it did years ago and, with all the foreign languages you hear on the street, it certainly sounds different.
Still, the fact is that the people who live here are probably more alike than they are different. All of us are concerned about our jobs, our savings, terrorist threats, taxes, Indian Point and our kids' education. That's why it is disappointing to me to see what little progress we have made in the way of electing more people of color to official positions in our cities, towns and villages.
Part of the problem is that the number of ethnic individuals who volunteer to run and serve as elected officials is few and far between. The people of this county may have similar concerns, but their viewpoints and sensitivity to policy, events and situations in their communities are often unique. If people of color want their voices heard, then they have to be willing to speak. They have to be willing to run as candidates representing their communities. And they have to vote.
The political parties in Westchester could also do more to bring diversity to our body of elected officials. Cronyism not only excludes people from the political process. It prevents our county from getting the input and ideas we need from all segments of our society to improve everyone's quality of life.
It's clear, for instance, that if we are ever to integrate and elevate Yonkers public schools, we need some new voices and new ideas. To say that a generation of kids in that city have grown up and been shortchanged on their education while lawyers and politicians trade barbs and split hairs is not much of an exaggeration. It is, however, a disgrace, and the recent resignation of schools Superintendent Joe Farmer won't help.
Mount Vernon Mayor Ernest Davis could also use some support. He's done an admirable job of improving the city's sewers, drainage system and roadways, and in attracting businesses to the downtown area. He is, however, facing a financial crunch similar to Mayor Michael Bloomberg's in New York City, and money, while key, is only part of the problem.
Finally, the issue of housing is being raised all over Westchester. As rents and the prices for houses skyrocket, we are in danger of driving out the teachers, law enforcement officers, firefighters and others who enrich our neighborhoods. I don't know about you, but I would feel more secure knowing that the people who protect us and teach our children have vested interests of their own in our communities. We need more representation from these constituencies on how to maintain affordable housing.
Turner Catledge, a legendary editor at The New York Times, used to counsel his staff never to end a column on a negative note. Following his advice, I want to salute some of the individuals who care enough about bringing diverse voices to local government to run for office and serve our communities. In Greenburgh, there's Lois Bronz, the chair of the county Board of Legislators, Town Clerk Alfreda Williams and Councilwoman Eddie Mae Barnes; in Mount Vernon: Mayor Davis, Comptroller Maureen Walker, City Clerk Lisa Copeland, county Legislator Clinton Young, City Council members William Randolph, Lyndon Williams, Steve Horton and Karen Watts-Cave, and City Court Justice Brenda Dowery-Rodriguez and Family Court Justice Samuel Walker; New Rochelle: Councilwoman Beuenia Brown and City Court Justice Gail Rice; Ossining: Trustee Ernest McFadden; Peekskill: Councilmen Alonzo Undley and Melvin Bolden; White Plains: Councilman Benjamin Boykin and City Court Justices Rose Anna Washington and Barbara Leak; Yonkers: county Legislators Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Jose Alvarado, and City Council Member Symra Brandon, Supreme Court Justices Joseph West and Bruce Tolbert; and in Yorktown: Town Clerk Alice Roker.
As Mohandas Gandhi so aptly put it: You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

VOLLEYBALL DROPS 3-1 DECISION TO TEMPLE AT NCAA TOURNAMENT
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA (December 6, 2002) – Looking to exact some revenge, the Manhattan College volleyball team traveled to University Park, PA Friday evening for its NCAA first round match against the Temple Owls at Recreation Hall on the campus of Penn State University. Both Manhattan and Temple won their respective conferences, and met last week in Philadelphia in a last-minute preparation match before the NCAA Tournament. The Lady Jaspers lost the match 3-1, but just days later discovered they would get another shot at taking down the Atlantic 10 champions.
Despite winning the first game 32-30, the Lady Jaspers fell into a 2-1 hole and couldn’t put the Owls away, losing the match 3-1. The game scores were 32-30, 21-30, 15-30 and 31-33.
Manhattan ends its magical season with an overall record of 30-4, while Temple improves to 28-6 and advances to play the winner of the Penn State vs. Pennsylvania match tomorrow evening.
Junior Goedele “Luka” Van Cauteren (Oetingen, Belgium) led the Lady Jaspers with 17 kills, 16 assists, four blocks and two aces, while junior Jaime Pavel (Molalla, OR) paced the defense with 17 digs. Seniors Amy O’Dorisio (San Diego, CA), Lauren Belcher (Huntington Beach, CA) and Bridgett Geddes (Escondido, CA), all playing their last match in a Jasper uniform, put up solid numbers in the losing effort. O’Dorisio notched 13 kills and nine digs, Belcher tallied six blocks and nine kills and Geddes assisted on 34 kills on the night.
Manhattan won the most matches in school history with 30, which included a run of 22 matches in a row, the longest winning streak by any Manhattan team. The Lady Jaspers graduate five seniors, including O’Dorisio, Belcher, Geddes, Lauryn McKinney (San Diego, CA) and Jackie Leon (Miami, FL).

MANHATTAN TO INDUCT EIGHT INTO ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME
RIVERDALE, NY (December 6, 2002) – On Saturday December 7, the Manhattan College Alumni Society will proudly welcome eight of its finest student-athletes into the Athletic Hall of Fame at the 24th Annual Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
The 2002 Hall of Fame class includes former track and field standouts Edward Bowes '64, Robert Mattis '64, Donald McGorty '59, Albert Novell '70 and Joseph Kearney '67, basketball star and founder of the Kellogg Tribute Charitable Trust Robert Otten '55 and women's basketball pioneers Bridget Robeson '88 and Susan Nangle Noe '86.
Bowes began running as a student in Bishop Loughlin High School and has been dedicated to the sport ever since. The only walk-on on Manhattan's Met IC4A Championship Cross Country Team in 1960, Bowes was selected as the Block M “Outstanding Athlete—Cross Country” in his junior and senior years. Since graduation, he has coordinated and directed numerous meets for high school students, including the largest indoor meet in America—Manhattan's own Interscholastic Meet for High Schoolers. Manhattan's meet brought nearly 10,000 runners from 1,500 high schools this year.
Kearney, who is being inducted posthumously, was a three-time All American in track and held nine Manhattan College records. Known for his leadership, Kearney was the first-ever person at Manhattan to serve as captain of the cross team as a junior. In his senior year, he captained the team again and also served as captain of the Indoor/Outdoor Track and Field Team. Always striving for victory, Kearney was known for running best when the Jaspers needed it most, sometimes winning several events in a single afternoon.
Mattis took three first place finishes at the Met Outdoor Championships in 1960-61 to give Manhattan's Freshmen Track Team a record-setting victory. Placing first in every outdoor race at the Mets throughout his college career, Mattis won five IC4A medals, including the last ever IC4A gold medal won under renowned Manhattan Coach George Eastment.
McGorty, who participated in three post-season basketball tournaments, was a key member of the Jasper team which defeated No. 1 West Virginia in the NCAA Tournament in 1958. McGorty, unselfish in the guard position, held the Freshmen scoring record in 1955-56 with 442 points and set the College's assist record on the varsity. Also a member of the track team as a javelin thrower, McGorty still holds the College record he earned at the IC4As in 1958 when he threw the javelin 229 feet 2 ½ inches at Villanova.
Nangle Noe played a key role in making the Lady Jaspers a team to be reckoned with on the court in the mid-1980s. Co-captain of the Lady Jaspers her junior and senior years, Noe was voted Most Valuable Player in the 1986 Wagner College Christmas Tournament and Manhattan's Player of the Year for Women's Basketball in the same year. As a junior, she became the third Lady Jasper to score 1,000 points, averaging 16 points per game. Noe, a starter throughout her college career, was also a member of several MAAC All-Conference Teams and the MAAC All-Academic Team in 1985.
Novell, a track walk-on, was a member of Manhattan's 1969 Cross Country Team which went undefeated with a record of 7-0. A two-time Metropolitan Champion, he is one of 16 NCAA Champions in the College's history—running the third leg of the 1970 Distance Medley Relay in 2:58.4. An All-American for Indoor Track, Novell held five school records.
Otten, known for his defensive skills on the court, was often given the formidable task of guarding the opponent's leading scorer. Otten's team made three trip to the post-season NIT. Remaining dedicated to Jasper sports after graduation, he chaired the committee for Manhattan's Junius Kellogg Scholarships, providing for economically needy Jasper athletes.
Robeson, a four-year starter for the Lady Jaspers, put Manhattan in the Top 20 in the nation when she led Manhattan to its first MAAC Conference Championship and first NCAA Tournament Berth (vs. Duke) for women in 1987. Breaking three tournament records, Robeson was unanimously voted MVP of the 1987 MAAC Tournament. The fifth Lady Jasper to score 1,000 points, Robeson was key offensively and defensively leading the Lady Jaspers in both scoring and rebounding during her junior and senior years.
Saturday's ceremonies will also feature a special tribute to Lindy Remigino ‘53, who was one of the inaugural inductees into the Hall of Fame back in 1979. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Remigino's brilliant gold medal performance in the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki.

HEADLINE: JASPERS TAKE OFF ON RAMS
BYLINE: By SEAN BRENNAN DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER
Manhattan coach Bobby Gonzalez took a look at David Holmes' numbers on the stat sheet and just shook his head.
"His line is ridiculous," Gonzalez said. "Twenty-four points and eight rebounds in 24 minutes. I don't know if I could ask him to play any better than that." For the first eight minutes or so of the second half, no one on the floor played better than Holmes as the junior forward scored 16 of his game-high total to help the Jaspers blow open a close game. Manhattan used the surge to race past Fordham, 85-57, last night in the annual Battle of the Bronx at Rose Hill Gym.
The victory gives Manhattan (3-0) a 48-47 lead in the series which dates back to the 1911-12 season.
"He was a force, a warrior," Gonzalez said. "When he has his game face on he's a tough guy to match up against. A tough, tough guy."
After a first half in which he played just six minutes due to early foul trouble, Holmes came out in the second half and dominated almost from the start.
He opened the half by nailing a three-pointer, added a pair of jumpers minutes later and continued his exploits as Fordham got further and further in Manhattan's rear-view mirror. By the time Holmes sank a pair of free throws with 12:35 to play, the Jaspers were up, 60-33, and the young Rams (1-4) were well on their way to their fourth straight loss.
"In the first half we didn't play Jaspers basketball," Holmes said. "But my teammates did a good job of getting me into a groove."
And Fordham had no answer for Holmes, or Luis Flores for that matter, as the MAAC Preseason Player of the Year finished with 22.
Fordham coach Bob Hill tried to be realistic about how the Rams' season may unfold.
"I'm not sure where to start," Hill said. "All the guys playing except for Michael (Haynes, 12 points) and Mark (Jarrell-Wright, 14 points) don't have a lot of experience. We'll have games like this all season long. We're going to make freshman mistakes all year long. We're young. This is on me."
The Rams have four freshmen, five sophomores and three juniors on their roster.

Manhattan 85 - Fordham 57
Last night's Fordham-Manhattan College basketball matchup was dubbed "The Battle of the Bronx."
Only problem was, Fordham left its weapons holstered, and got smoked 85-57 before a disappointed crowd at Rose Hill.
Before the season, Manhattan coach Bobby Gonzalez promised an up-tempo, running offense. Last night his Jaspers ran, all right - right over the Rams. Freshman guards Kenny Minor and Jason Wingate darted up and down the court, leading the transition game. And junior Luis Flores, who scored 16 first-half points, 22 in all, was rewarded for his hustle by getting six uncontested layups.
Eventually, the preseason MAAC Player of the Year grew tired of running and started raining jumpers on the break, including two 3-pointers.
"Luis is a special player," Gonzalez said. "You think you're right with him and then, bang, he goes right by you."
Flores' heroics almost overshadowed some others by Jasper junior forward Dave Holmes, who scored a career-high 24 points, pulled down eight rebounds, handed out two assists and recorded two steals.
"I usually don't let my players look at the stats, but Dave's line is astounding," Gonzalez said.
For his part, Flores refused to acknowledge his gem.
"We came prepared for this game and it meant a lot for us to win," he said.
Once the Jaspers (3-0), knew they had the game in hand, they slowed down the tempo but didn't let up. Their halfcourt offense was equally impressive. Wingate was able to penetrate at will, kick the ball outside for Flores or hand it off in the paint for layups.
Fordham tried to counter Manhattan's transition game by attempting to establish a post presence.
But the Rams (1-4), weren't able to get sophomore Glenn Batemon started. Batemon, a 6-foot-11, 340-pound monster in the paint, fumbled several entry passes and never became a factor, finishing with eight points.
"We're gonna have games like this all year long - it's gonna be one of those years," Fordham coach Bob Hill said.

HEADLINE: NORFOLK STATE NEVER HAD A CHANCE;
SPARTANS BOWLED OVER BY PITT, WHICH BUILT 54-15 LEAD AND NEVER LOOKED BACK
BYLINE: FRANK VEHORN THE VIRGINIAN-PILOT
DATELINE: PITTSBURGH
Elephants didn't fly, cows didn't jump over the moon, and almost as predictable, Norfolk State never had a chance against the nation's fifth-ranked college basketball team, Pittsburgh, on Tuesday night.
The Panthers (4-0) knocked the Spartans (1-2) back on their heels with an early bombardment of 3-pointers and rolled to a 96-51 victory in Petersen Events Center.
It was 54-15 at intermission with the Panthers shooting 63.6 percent from the floor and Norfolk State 24 percent. "I told my players in the locker room at halftime I had never been part of a team that gave up 54 points in the first half," Norfolk State coach Dwight Freeman said. "I think we played a lot better in the second half."
Indeed, by the 10-minute mark in the final half the Spartans already had scored more points than they had in the opening half.
"The first half we were a little tentative," said Chakowby Hicks, whose 10 points topped the Spartans. "I think we played harder in the final half after Coach gave us a nice little talk."
The Spartans also played the second half without starting guard Nick Byrd, who became sick in the dressing room.
Byrd, who was suffering from a migraine headache, was the leading scorer for the Spartans in the first half with five points.
The only disappointment for the crowd of 7,431 was that the Panthers failed to reach to century mark as they did in their only previous game against Norfolk State, winning it 102-78 on Dec. 1, 1999.
But, as did Freeman, Panthers coach Ben Howland played his bench most of the final 20 minutes.
The only time the two teams were even was before the game-opening tap, which Toree Morris controlled. Brandin Knight quickly knocked down a 3-pointer, followed seconds later by another from Jaron Brown.
In all, the Panthers made eight of 14 3-pointers in the first half.
"It didn't surprise me they shot that many, but it did surprise me that they made so many," Freeman said. "They shot the ball so well that we never really got into what we wanted to do."
Howland said the game was the best his team has played this season.
"It doesn't matter who we are playing, if we play the way we did in the first half we are going to beat a lot of people," he said.
"We had 21 baskets and 19 of them came on assists. The other two were on offensive put-backs. That is about as good as you can play."
Julius Page, who led the Panthers with 16 points, had criticized his teammates after last Saturday's 89-49 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff for not coming out ready to play against an out-matched opponent.
The Panthers didn't break that game open until the second half.
"We came out a lot more focused this time," Page said. "And I know it was hard for them (Norfolk State) to come into a ranked team's gym to play."
After making only six of 25 field goal attempts in the first half, the Spartans were 13 for 35 in the final half.
They scored the first two goals of the second half, by Hicks and Thomas Aladi, before the Panthers nailed a 3-pointer and went on another run to build their lead to 61-19. Pitt's largest lead was 88-38 with 5:16 remaining in the game.

Television: None. Home Record: Manhattan 1-0, Fordham 0-2. Away Record: Manhattan 0-0, Fordham 1-2. Neutral Record: Manhattan 1-0, Fordham 0-0. Conference Record: Manhattan 1-0, Fordham 0-0. Series Record: Series is tied, 47-47.
GAME NOTES: The Manhattan College Jaspers aim to remain undefeated on the young season when they travel across town to play the Fordham Rams. Manhattan has gained early season victories over Sacred Heart, 77-62 and Loyola-Maryland, 65-53. Last season, the Jaspers enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in the program's history, finishing with an overall record of 20-9.
The 2002 squad won the MSG Holiday Festival, defeated St. John's for the first time since 1976 and reached the National Invitation Tournament for the first time since 1996. For Fordham the season has not started off very well, as it has dropped three straight contests after winning the opener against William & Mary. Since then the Rams have fallen to Western Michigan, 70-51, Siena, 70-69 and at Northeastern, 99-75. The two teams have split the 94 previous meetings between the schools.
Luis Flores is pouring in 22.0 points and 4.0 assists per game to lead the unbeaten Jaspers. Justin Jackette is hitting for 15 points per game and is one of three Jaspers pulling in seven rebounds per contest. Sharing that rebounding mark is Jared Johnson who is chipping in with 10.5 points a game and Jason Benton who adds nine points per game. The leading rebounder on the team with eight boards a game is Dave Holmes, who is hitting for nine points a game as well. The Jaspers are connecting on nearly 43 percent of their total shots, but have struggled from the charity stripe hitting just under 70 percent. The Jaspers have done well on defense forcing 35 turnovers in their two games this season, and have blocked five shots.
Michael Haynes leads the Rams, scoring 17.8 points per game, and averaging 9.0 boards per contest. Mark Jarrell-Wright is putting in 13.8 points per outing, but has not handled the ball very well, committing 18 turnovers versus just eight assists. Jermaine Anderson is chipping in with 12.0 points per contest, and leads the team with 14 helpers. As a team the Rams are average shooting the ball from the field hitting a mere 43.7 percent of their total shots, but have been less than average from the foul line where they are just 52-of-81 for 64.2 percent on the season. On defense they have allowed their opponents to shoot nearly 48 percent from the floor and over 35 percent from downtown, although they have put pressure on the ball forcing 65 turnovers and blocking 13 shots.
These two bitter rivals are very close not only in proximity but in talent as well. The team that can stick to their game plan, successfully handle the ball and hit their open shots will be the one that embraces victory. Look for Flores to continue his hot shooting and lead the Jaspers to the win.

Dear John:
Enjoy reading your weekly e-mail. I might be joining the ranks of the jobless soon and would greatly appreciate your help.
After over twenty eight years of work in Information Technology for my current employer, I anticipate that I very well me be out of work some time in 2003. Staffing cuts of about forty percent of IT staff, numbering about forty seven positions, are in the works. Many of these positions have already been vacated through retirements, most taking place in September of 2002.
My most recent IT background is as a Systems Programmer for CICS. With staffing cuts, I have recently taken on additional duties in the areas of OS390 mainframe sysgen, RACF security administration, and IMS DB sysgen and maintenance. Also I have been picking up on VTAM and TCPIP definitions.
I have done extensive volunteer work for the past fifteen years as both a coach and also a parish program coordinator for CYO sports programs in soccer and in girls basketball. I have been a volunteer religious education teacher for many years as well.
At this time I would like to prepare my resume, or resumes, and decide what type of job or jobs I should look for. What jobs are available? I would be looking in New York City or Long Island. Should I continue in IT mainframe or is that an area with little future job prospects? What are the prospects in secondary education as a Math teacher or possibly in Athletics. I have taken some graduate level courses in Secondary Education. If I decide to teach what additional education would I need to obtain?
I have run the Adirondack marathon the past two Septembers and hope to repeat next September. Thinking about putting my name on the list for the New York City marathon. But I do not think that I could make a living running.
Thanks for any help and direction that my fellow Jaspers could send my way.

You didn't say who that employer was. But, is this a "feeling", or do you have some specific information.
> Staffing cuts of about forty percent of IT staff, numbering about
So it sounds like the management is managing its staffing levels by attrition. While not a good sign, (i.e., an organization should be growing not shrinking), it may not be the worst signal.
> My most recent IT background is as a Systems Programmer
Guess you haven't heard that the mainframe is "dead". Seriously, it is a cost effective platform for large computing problems. So, rumors of its death have been vastly overrated.
> I have done extensive volunteer work for the past fifteen years
So working with children has prepared you for work with "senior management". You know explain it over and over, short attention span, and some tantrums.
> At this time I would like to prepare my resume, or resumes,
Well, clearly you should always have your plan firmly in hand, written down if possible, and never ever let them catch you by surprise.
> What jobs are available?
You only need one. So first you must define your requirements. Just like programming. Try and get the user to state what they want!
> I would be looking in New York City or Long Island.
Do you like to commute? Where do you live? What do you like to do with your spare time? What does your family want from you.
> Should I continue in IT mainframe or is that an area with little future
I would suggest that prospects for mainframe jobs are just a good as ever. In fact, I would suggest that systems programmers are always "valuable" to any organization.
> What are the prospects in secondary education as a Math teacher or
I would think that if you have been earning a good living in Mainframe Computing, then you won't be pleased with the wages in "teaching". Here's some information in this Sunday's issue. You might want to talk to them.

I wasn't sure if this should be included in the weekly distribution. I can put it in next weeks. I have closed the books on this week's; Wednesday night I begin the process of compilation and editing. That's what I was doing when I caught your message.
May I suggest that you read the books on the reading list, prepare a networking profile, and develop your "requirements"? After you have done that, maybe we can meet for coffee and we can kick the ideas around a little.
It was interesting that you sent this in on Thanksgiving. I am concerned that you maybe misreading the situation. Holidays do sometimes put people on a tilt. So it is important to develop an action plan. Your feelings maybe sending you the warning signal that the ax is coming. Having been "axed" several times, my only rule is "be prepared; no surprises". You're not an "expendable human resource" so don't let them get you thinking that way. You have to think of yourself as the proprietor of "YOU, Inc.". You're the product (your hours), the salesman, and the marketer. Three different roles.
I'll send you the material to get started.
Good luck, and keep in touch.

Please change my address from <privacy invoked> to <privacy invoked>. I agree that using the alum.manhattan.edu is a good idea. Unfortunately, when I joined the Jottings I updated my profile which necessitated changing my password. Now none of my standard passwords works. Support has not helped after one e-mail request. I'll try again after the holidays.
Keep up the good work on the jottings. Your final word on gun control not having the desired effect is so true. About 7 years ago there was a crime spree in the local county, a very rural area. Breaking and entries went through the roof. The Sheriff wanted more deputies. The politicians called for reform, more state aid, etc, etc. Then the crooks broke into a farmers shed and then attacked him with his axe. The farmer unloaded his shotgun into the 2 crooks. End of crime spree. One dead and one in the hospital. Most of the missing goods were found in the home of the crooks. We went a couple of years before any real burglaries in the area. Vigilantism is not good but crooks will take the path of least resistance and if they know they might be shot they usually move on.

Hi:
Pardon the intrusion, but, I just joined DTT. Being at loose ends while things get organized, and as is my usual practice, I manually matched the Exchange Directory with the Manhattan College Alumni Directory. I found that there are 11 other alums here.
I took the liberty of creating the table below for everyone's use. If you are interested in a very informal "Jaspers @ Deloitte", then just give me a reply. If not, just let me know that as well and I will not bother you again.
For the last three years, I have been running a weekly ezine about Jaspers, (You are of course more than welcome to get the weekly distribution. I have a thousand "subscribers". It's free and just my hobby. No spam; easy off if you don't think it's useful.)
If you know anyone that I have missed I would appreciate knowing that as well. When I checked out the matching gift program, I found that Manhattan wasn't on the preferred list. I am checking into that. Additionally, I am looking to connect new and old alums, looking for work, with any vacancies here at Deloitte.
I've always found my fellow alums very interesting and I hope we can get acquainted over the coming months. Anyway that's all from my corner of the world, if you have a moment drop me an email, and "network".
Hope to meet you all some time,

=== <begin quote> ===
"Maryland (soon-to-be-gone) Gov. Parris Glendening ordered a ban this week on all outdoor shooting in response to the ongoing shooting spree in the nation's capital. So now, if encountered by a would-robber, Maryland citizens should both refrain from drawing their own gun in self-defense and also kindly remind the criminal that use of his weapon has been recently banned."
Of all the stupid responses, this one takes the cake. Probably right up there with the cop, who upon hearing fire, goes to the victim instead of the culprit. At least, he was making split-second choices. What is the Governor afraid of? Perhaps if the sniper gets lucky and fires on or near a club shooter, or even better a ex-Marine, then there might be some return fire. Nothing like leveling the playing field. There's nothing like return fire to shake up a criminal. But, then again, maybe the governor is right. Probably, if there was half-a-chance of a return volley, this person or persons unknown might have moved to an easier target-rich environment, like a school.
Remember the "red neck" bumper sticker. God made men and women; Sam Colt made them equal. Perhaps, we might consider the ramifications to many things. Guns prevent crime. That and "from my cold dead hands ... ...".

Let's get some equalizers in the hands of those that need them.
