Oh so that's how it's done. Raise funds from the drop outs. Imagine what could have been if he had the tuition? Or, is it that he achieved his maximum by dropping out. That's the problem with time. No way to run it back and test other alternatives. The shouldas, couldas, and wouldas will kill you if you let them. Just try to make the best choices when choices are presented. Sometimes though, they don't come labeled with a big yellow sticky that says here comes a "choice". Sigh.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Colette Dans, 65, French teacher in
Baltimore County public schools
By Laura Barnhardt Sun Staff
October 25, 2004
Colette Dans, a retired French teacher in Baltimore County public schools, died of complications from breast cancer Wednesday at Greater Baltimore Medical Center. She was 65.
Born Colette Lizotte in Woonsocket, R.I., where many residents spoke French, she was the youngest of eight children. After graduating from Trinity College in Washington with a chemistry degree in 1960, she went to work in a laboratory at the National Institutes of Health, where she met her future husband, said her daughter Suzanne Dans of Bethesda.
Mrs. Dans and her husband of 38 years, Dr. Peter Dans, raised four children in Cockeysville, where Dr. Dans still resides.
In 1982, once her youngest child was in middle school, Mrs. Dans began substitute teaching and taking courses toward a bachelor's degree in French at the former Towson State University. She completed the degree in 1987.
She taught French from 1987 to 2002 at Johnnycake Middle School (now Southwest Academy) and Randallstown High School. She also taught French and math to fifth-graders in the French immersion program at Wellwood International School. Mrs. Dans retired in 2002 because of her cancer.
While at Randallstown High, Mrs. Dans formed a bond with one of her homeroom students who had a mental disability. They had the same conversion each Monday as he met her at the front doors of the school and talked about "resting" being important on the weekend, Suzanne Dans said. "My mom loved everyone," she said. "She was always looking out for the underdog."
Mrs. Dans also believed in having fun in her classes. Each year, she organized an "auction" in her classes, allowing students to spend their extra-credit points on novelty items. She also frequently teased students about her age, telling them she was 133 or 89 years old to see if they knew the words for the higher numbers in French, her daughter said.
"I always marvel at her ingenuity," said Suzanne Dans. "She was very clever."
An accomplished pianist, Mrs. Dans loved to play the works of Chopin, Joplin and Albeniz. She also enjoyed reading and gardening, her relatives said. She was a regular communicant at St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Community of Hunt Valley, where she and her husband counseled engaged couples.
"Colette was truly unique," said Ann Walsh, a sixth-grade social studies teacher at Deep Creek Middle School in Essex who met with Mrs. Dans and several other friends monthly.
"She was sensitive. She was real, very down to earth," Mrs. Walsh said. "She had so many interests - traveling, reading, music, gardening. ... She thoroughly enjoyed life.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. today at St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Community of Hunt Valley, 13717 Cuba Road.
In addition to her husband and daughter, she is survived by another daughter, Dr. Maria Dans of Redwood City, Calif.; two sons, Paul Dans and Thomas Dans, both of New York City; two sisters, Delores Plant, of Warwick, R.I., and Doris Plant, of Woonsocket, R.I.; and four grandchildren.
[JR: Doctor Dans '57 is the "medical advisor" to Jasper Jottings, a good sport for going along with us on this "jasper jottings" ride, and has a "quiet" history of helping the College. My prayers go out to him.]
[JR: I'm going to try a new section for "updates". These are changes that "pop" in from the various sources that are not really from the news. I thought it might be valuable to alert old friends seeking to reconnect or "youngsters" seeking a networking contact with someone who might have a unique viewpoint that they are interested in. This is a benefit of freeing up time trying to make email work by "outsourcing" the task to Yahoo.]

Local firm marks 15 years of innovation
Norristown Times Herald -
...
earned a chemical engineering degree at Manhattan College in 1973.
By: CARL ROTENBERG , Times Herald Staff
WHITEMARSH - An engineering firm that specializes in designing and building pharmaceutical facilities celebrated its 15th anniversary in June. Andrew A. Signore and Joseph A. Blanchard started Integrated Projects Services in a small Malvern office with $30,000 for office rent, furniture and start-up capital.
The central idea of the new business was to provide engineering and project management of complicated pharmaceutical buildings from one company, Signore said.
"We're engineers who build," Signore said. "We wanted to be a full-service provider to pharmaceutical companies. We thought we could do it faster and at less cost."
The two co-founders met when they worked together 19 years ago at Smith Kline Beecham in Upper Merion. Signore was the director of engineering there and Blanchard worked for him as the manager of pharmaceutical engineering support. In their first year in business, they attracted seven corporate clients and $2 million in sales. Some of their early clients were Smith Kline Beecham (now GlaxoSmithKline), McNeil Pharmaceuticals in Fort Washington and Merck & Co. Inc. in Upper Gwynedd.
Their first assignment was to design and install a tablet coater at McNeil Pharmaceutical's plant in Dorado, Puerto Rico.
"We're considered an alternative service to the national engineering companies," he said. "We're smaller, more cost effective and very service oriented." Although IPS works for many of the largest pharmaceutical companies on the East Coast, company officials are reluctant to talk about the details of many of their projects, Signore said.
Their client list includes Wyeth, Dupont Pharmaceuticals, Scherer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Centocor, Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson.
The company had gross sales of more than $103 million last year with half of the revenue coming from consulting and engineering work and half from construction and design work.
This summer IPS completed a $15 million design/build project at the Philadelphia Naval Yard for AppTec Laboratory Services of St. Paul, Minn. The 75,000-square-foot, single-story facility was built quickly because Liberty Property Trust had already built a shell building on the site. Twenty engineers and project managers from IPS worked on the construction project for one year.
IPS is working on the construction of a one-story, 100,000-square-foot packaging and warehouse building in the Allentown area for Sharp, a contract pharmaceutical packager. Construction will be completed in December.
IPS has grown to more than 300 employees with offices in Whitemarsh, New Jersey, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Maryland, Florida, Indiana, California and Puerto Rico. The corporate office at 2001 Joshua Road accommodates 150 workers.
During its growth period, the company moved to a Conshohocken office from 1991 to 1995.
Blanchard grew up in Philadelphia and earned a mechanical engineering degree at Penn State University in 1972. Signore grew up in New York City and earned a chemical engineering degree at Manhattan College in 1973.

HEADLINE: Workshop aims to help reading educators teach
BYLINE: Randi Weiner, Staff
A half-day seminar for people who teach or work with children will focus on practical techniques to help youngsters become better readers.
The ninth annual Rockland Literacy Extravaganza is set for 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at St. Thomas Aquinas College and will feature local and regional reading experts and a keynote speaker who has written books on how to teach reading to middle school children and in subjects other than English.
"We need to teach our children to be thoughtful readers and writers; they're the hope for the future. (Literacy) is being able to read critically and write critically, and it's the key for personal fulfillment in our lives," said Michael Shaw, an associate professor of education at STAC and one of the conference organizers. Shaw also is co-chairman of the International Reading Association's professional standards and ethics committee, and is the National Council of Teachers of English's liaison to the International Reading Association.
"The reason we have our conference is we need the most effective, the best prepared teachers who use the research that we have developed in reading and writing to translate that into practice with their students literally every day, throughout the day in all subjects," he said.
The importance of well-educated teachers who can pass their understanding on to students is incalculable, he said. Being able to read and understand is the foundation for anyone's future, he said.
Diana Johnson, 17, a senior at Clarkstown South High School and a member of that school's Future Business Leaders of America club, agrees.
"Literacy goes way beyond the classroom and way beyond English," she said. "Anything that you want to become, any knowledge about any subject - you need to be able to read."
Last year's conference drew 300 people, and Shaw said he expected at least as many people this year. The conference draws teachers, administrators, reading specialists, librarians and teacher education students from Rockland, Westchester, Putnam, Orange and Bergen counties, as well as New York City. Although geared toward professionals, it is open to the public.
The keynote speaker is Laura Robb, an educator and author of "Teaching Reading in Social Studies. Science and Math," "Teaching Reading in the Middle School" and the soon-to-be-released "Nonfiction Writing from the Inside Out."
Robb has been a teacher for 41 years and recently was appointed a member of the National Council of Teachers of English. She is on the editorial review board for the trade publication "Language Arts," and teaches eighth-grade reading and writing workshops in Virginia.
The workshops range from "The heart of a reading/writing workshop" to "Approaches that motivate adolescents to read" and include ways to help students with different learning styles understand key reading concepts.
"What we really hope people get - and we use this as a tagline - is 'you learn on Saturday what you can begin to apply on Monday,' " Shaw said. "The workshop presenters are the county's and region's best educators, real leaders in their schools."
The conference is jointly sponsored by STAC, the Rockland Teachers' Center Institute, the Rockland Reading Council, Manhattan College and William Paterson University.
Participation can be counted toward both New York City new teacher and New Jersey teacher professional development credits.

White Plains' Martin, Austin pick colleges
Former teammates likely will be future foes while at Manhattan, Saint Peter's
Quentin Martin and Devon Austin were teammates last season at White Plains. In college they will be conference rivals.
Austin, a senior at White Plains, and Martin, a White Plains graduate now at St. Thomas More prep school in Oakdale, Conn., each gave oral commitments to MAAC schools yesterday. Austin will play at Manhattan College, and Martin selected Saint Peter's.
"I'm going to have to wear two different hats," White Plains coach Spencer Mayfield said. "They both are going into a good situation where they are close to home and can both play right away."
Austin, a 6-foot-6 swingman, chose Manhattan over Iona, Fairfield and West Virginia. He had also recently attracted heavy interest from Georgetown, Pittsburgh, UMass, and Saint John's, but wasn't willing to wait for offers.
"I've felt like Manhattan was always the place for me," said Austin, who was offered by Jaspers coach Bobby Gonzalez after he saw Austin play for the first time this fall. "I like the players they have there and the coaching staff. I know big schools were recruiting me, but Manhattan has been really successful the last few years and I wanted to be a part of that."
Martin, a 6-6 forward, was being recruited by several mid-major schools including Rider, Middle Tennessee State, Canisius and Jacksonville State.
He will play this season at St. Thomas More and will enroll at Saint Peter's next fall.
"At Saint Peter's, I will be close to home and I will be able to play right away," said Martin, who expects to major in business. "I will be right near the city so I could get a good internship in a few years, and I will also be able to come right home whenever I want."
Martin missed time during his junior season because of academic troubles, which prevented him from being recruited out of high school. Since then he has concentrated on school and the doors have opened to him.
"I think it was a maturity thing," Martin said. "I realized what I had in front of me, the goals I could achieve, if I would only put my mind to it. And that is what I've done."
"He's really come a long way," Mayfield said. "You can just tell by talking to him that he's so much mature. I'm so proud of him."
Martin, a three-year starter, led White Plains with 16.1 points and 11.0 rebounds per game last season and guided the Tigers to the Class AA title game.
Austin averaged 14.4 points per game last season but really came into his own during the summer. He didn't play AAU, but made a significant impact while playing with his high school team at the Metro Classic and the Eastern Invitational.
At the Metro Classic, Austin, who's grown 2 inches since last season and has added a considerable amount of muscle, led the Tigers to an improbable championship, beating national powers St. Raymond's, Don Bosco Prep, St. Joseph's of Montvale (N.J.) and St. Benedict's along the way.
"He's a lot stronger and is really playing above the rim," Mayfield said. "There were times this summer where he didn't miss."

Copyrighted material belongs to their owner. We recognize that this is merely "fair use", appropriate credit is given and any restrictions observed. The CIC asks you to do the same.
All material submitted for posting becomes the sole property of the CIC. All decisions about what is post, and how, are vested solely in the CIC. We'll attempt to honor your wishes to the best of our ability.
A collection copyright is asserted to protect against any misuse of any original material.
Operating Jasper Jottings, the "collector-in-chief", aka CIC, recognizes that every one of us needs privacy. In respect of your privacy, I will protect any information you provide to the best of my ability. No one needs "unsolicited commercial email" aka spam.
The CIC of Jasper Jottings will never sell personal data to outside vendors. Nor do we currently accept advertisements, although that may be a future option.
This effort has NO FORMAL RELATION to Manhattan College!
This is just my idea and has neither support nor any official relationship with Manhattan College. As alumni, we have a special bond with Manhattan College. In order to help the College keep its records as up to date as possible, the CIC will share such information as the Alumni office wants. To date, we share the news, any "new registrations" (i.e., data that differs from the alumni directory), and anything we find about "lost" jaspers.
You may only subscribe to the list, only if you have demonstrated a connection to Manhattan College. This may require providing information about yourself to assert the claim to a connection. Decisions of the CIC are final. If you do provide such personal information, such as email, name, address or telephone numbers, we will not disclose it to anyone except as described here.
Should you wish to connect to someone else on the list, you must send in an email to the list requesting the connection and please address your email to connector--AT--jasperjottings.com. We will respond to you, so you know we received your request, and send a BCC (i.e., Blind Carbon Copy) of our response to your target with your email address visible. Thus by requesting the connection, you are allowing us to share your email address with another list member. After that it is up to the other to respond to you. Bear in mind that anything coming to the list or to me via "--AT-- jasperjottings.com" or my john.reinke--AT--att.net address is assumed to be for publication to the list and you agree to its use as described.
Should some one wish to connect with you, you will be sent a BCC (i.e., Blind Carbon Copy) of our response as described above. It is then your decision about responding.
We want you to be pleased not only with this service. Your satisfaction, and continued participation, is very important to all of us.
Please remember this effort depends upon you being a reporter. Email any news about Jaspers, including yourself --- (It is ok to toot your own horn. If you don't, who will? If it sounds too bad, I'll tone it down.) --- to reporter--AT--jasperjottings.com. Please mark if you DON'T want it distributed AND / OR if you DON'T want me to edit it.
Or, you can USMail it to me at 3 Tyne Court Kendall Park, NJ 08824.

Consider this interesting example of how concentrating on improving incentives rather than people is the best way to achieve noble outcomes. In the late 18th century prisoners were shipped from England to Australia, with ship captains being paid a specified amount for each prisoner who boarded their ships in England. Unfortunately, the death rate on these voyages was very high, with a sample from trips between 1790 and 1792 showing a death rate of 12 percent, and an appalling 37 percent on one trip. Most of the fatalities were clearly the result of overcrowding and poor nutrition, and many pleas were directed at ship captains, appealing to their moral obligation to provide humane treatment to their charges. But these pleas had no noticeable effect on the death rate. Finally someone (probably an economist) suggested improving the incentives instead of trying to improve the ship captains, by paying the captains on the basis of how many prisoners walked off their boats in Australia. The improvement was dramatic. Three ships carrying a total of 422 prisoners made the trip from England to Australia in 1793, and only one prisoner died in route. None of the ship captains became better people, but in response to better incentives they acted as if they had.

Perhaps when we think of "government", we should be looking at the "incentives". There must be some way to make this pig beautiful.
IMHO!
And that’s the last word.
