Dead Thief's
Dec 16,
=== <begin quote> ===
KELCYRE,
The family gave the bell to dairy farmer Peco Ndoni, a devout Orthodox Christian from the village where the bell was stolen in 1997 and asked him to make sure it was returned to the church.
"They believed it was precisely because he brought down an object sacred to God that their relative was punished with the loss of his life," Ndoni said.
"They hoped that returning it would somehow relieve their sorrow for the loss of their relative and redeem him," he added.
Before it can take back its place at the church, the bronze bell needs work to restore a missing piece, cut out to see whether the metal mix contained gold.
Since the collapse of communism in 1990, Albanian treasure hunters have stolen bronze church bells thinking they contained gold, widely believed to make the bell ring louder into a longer distance.
Bells have also been stolen simply because they were old and worth a lot to antique collectors abroad.
=== <end quote> ===
Amazing. A family taking responsibility. What a worl it would be if we were responsible for what our family does. I’m not sure if that would be good. But, it might be better where people make children and depend on others to support them.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

"Peter Darbee's broad career experience, including his participation in the design and execution of the financial restructuring of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, make him the ideal candidate to lead PG&E Corporation," he added.
Darbee joined PG&E Corporation as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in 1999. Previously, he was Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Advance Fibre Communications Inc.

Earlier, he was an investment banker with Goldman Sachs, where he was Vice President and co-head of the company's energy and telecommunications group. He also held positions at Salomon Brothers and AT&T.
"It's an honor to lead the company as it begins a new

Many students have expressed a desire for closer bars, but there is little that can be done. In the past, Riverdale was home to more bars, but most were forced to close in recent years. The Student Life council here at Manhattan has attempted to ease some of this with monthly Happy Hours where students 21 and over may drink, but all students are welcome to come, as well as scheduling numerous events such as the Jasper Jingle and Senior Nights, but this still leaves some students with nothing to do on campus. Clearly, both administration and the student government work hard to bring events to campus, and the numerous fliers advertising these events are testimony to their work. However, this is not enough for many. Students' returning home on weekends has become a common sight, and this is due, in part, to the lack of things to do on weekends.
With no other real options, many students feel that it is

HEADLINE: NYU;
BYLINE: BY MICHAEL WEINREB. STAFF WRITER
Keeping heads in game;
Division I, Ivy League scholarships passed up by ambitious athletes who take basketball program to the top - and they're smart, too
A couple of Sundays ago, Chiene Jones pulled an all-nighter. "For a Spanish test," she said. "Not even an exam. Just a test. Because even the regular classes here aren't regular."
Jones, 22, is far from a regular college junior. But if
anyone exemplifies the eclectic nature of the NYU student-athlete, it's Jones.
She's a graduate of
"They're all the Bill Bradley types here," said NYU coach Janice Quinn, whose teams have won nearly 80 percent of their games in her first 17 seasons, winning at least 20 games a season since 1992, and taking a national championship in 1997. NYU is 6-0 and ranked No. 1 in the USA Today/ESPN poll this season. "That's the thing I'm most proud of, is that we're able to do it with those kinds of kids."
Quinn took this job at the age of 23, two seasons after finishing her own career at NYU. When she started in 1987, she had one part-time assistant coach; now she has three assistants. She spends as much time scouting and watching film and preparing practice routines as any Division I coach.
"And our kids are so smart," Quinn said, "that we can come up with some pretty sophisticated game plans."
On this year's team alone, there are applied psychology majors, experienced piano players, amateur models and aspiring investigative journalists. This is nothing new: In 1996-97, the season NYU went 29-1 and won the Division III national championship, the team had a grade-point average of 3.7; the GPA of the starting five alone was even higher. "One was going to be a brain surgeon," Quinn said. "Another one wanted to be a mechanical engineer."
Someone like Jones could have taken an easier route, of
course. Coming out of high school, Jones considered going to
At the Division III level - where a small group of schools tend to dominate the national scene - so much of a team's success relies upon the sales pitch. Why should any recruit pass up a full scholarship to come to NYU, where there are not only zero scholarships, but no special admissions preferences for student-athletes? Why should they pass up a chance to play in a mid-level Division I program to attend a school where many of their classmates aren't even aware the basketball team exists?
"The thing is, girls basketball has evolved," Quinn said. "I didn't even play full-court five-on-five until my freshman year of high school. Now I can go watch 9-and-unders play in AAU leagues. There are only 14 Division I scholarships at each school, and everyone in Division III started to realize there's a lot of talent out there."
Fortunately for Quinn, the school's academics and location sell themselves. All she has to do is find recruits with the grades and test scores to get admitted to NYU (she insists she has no pull with admissions), and then close the deal. And Quinn is a seasoned closer; she delivers her sales pitch with a certain caffeinated verve. All five recruits in next year's class have turned down either a Division I scholarship or an Ivy League admission to come to NYU.
This is how she keeps it going. And this is what keeps Quinn at NYU, despite offers from Division I and II schools and professional teams.
"I always challenge our recruits not to choose an institution they're going to outgrow in six months," Quinn said. "And I don't feel like I'm done growing here yet, either."
GRAPHIC: Photos By Patrick McCarthy - 1) Like many of her athletes, women's basketball coach Janice Quinn has chosen NYU rather than accepting offers from more prestigious institutions. 2) NYU's Chiene Jones, right, 3) and Rachel Wojdowski keep eyes on game and grades.

HEADLINE: Get ready for a Knights tale; Depth, experience make Hempfield heavy favorite
BYLINE: Jason Fulginiti
A dynasty seemed to be in the making.
Then Alyse Hoover showed up. And Aubrie Dellinger. And Amy O'Byle.
After sailing to four straight Lancaster-Lebanon League Section One titles from 1997-2000, Hempfield's seemingly-indestructible ship was suddenly capsized by Cedar Crest in 2001.
Fueled by the trio of Hoover, Dellinger and O'Byle, the Falcons went on to win the last four Section One titles, tacking on three L-L League titles, a District Three Class AAAA championship (2003), two appearances in the district final (2002, 2004) and a spot in the PIAA Class AAAA Eastern final (2004) along the way.
But with Hoover now playing at La Salle University, Dellinger playing at Manhattan College, O'Byle having joined her older sister Staci on the team at West Chester University, and Cedar Crest undergoing a reconstruction that would make Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon proud, the question is ... is it time for Hempfield to get back on the championship track?

Hi Paul,
First, its not you that's bouncing.
I can see a list of those that are bouncing but it just shows email address. I try to contact everyone bouncing by a repeat email via different ISPs (that gives a different route which often works).
If that bounces, and if I have any alternative addressing info (i.e., another email, usmail, phone, fax, or email via the MC alumni site db) I try contacting them. If I can NOT contact them for any reason by any method, then they are just sitting in bouncing status.
That's why I urge everyone to look for their email copy. I publish every week. If you don't receive it, then it's not for it not being sent. The problem with bouncing is that you may not realize it.
Now, while I think Jottings is the only reason to have email. Other may have a slightly lower opinion of its importance. Why it is really important is that email has "no guarantees" with it. I have had Jaspers tell me that they only way they knew about a problem was my nagging about Jottings. Email can suffer from different types of outages. Partial outages are common. And, sometimes SPAM prevention packages insert by corporations can be misconfigured, or all sorts of other "stuff" can happen.
Hope this explains it?

Hero Cabbie Testifies, but TLC Judge Is Unconvinced
By DAN ACKMAN
There is a scene in "The Verdict" where Paul Newman, playing attorney Frank Galvin, tells his lady friend that the idea of a court is not to dispense justice. The court, Newman says, exists to give people a "chance at justice." In this the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission has a problem, because, right or wrong, taxi drivers believe that in the TLC courts, they have no chance.
During the administration of Commissioner Diane McGrath-McKechnie, the TLC's administrative tribunals have been closed to the public. As a result, no one was able to evaluate the drivers' view, near universal, that they are presumed guilty and that their testimony is routinely ignored. Soon after State Supreme Court Justice Stanley Parness ordered that the TLC courts be open, I visited the court and happened on a case involving prominent fashion designer Jeffrey Banks and veteran cabbie Mamoun Hammouri.
The May 9 hearing was the third in the case. The first hearing was canceled because Mr. Banks had a scheduling conflict. Administrative Law Judge Anna Lewis presided over the second, but ordered it adjourned when a key piece of evidence was not in court. The issue was whether the cabbie had refused to serve Mr. Banks, who is black, "without reasonable grounds."
Last November, in response to a complaint by movie star Danny Glover, the TLC announced a crackdown on taxi drivers who refuse to stop for black or Hispanic passengers. While the vast majority of TLC cases are initiated by the NYPD taxi squad or the TLC itself, this complaint was brought by Jeffrey Banks. At the hearing, Mr. Banks said that he, like many black men, has been passed over by cabbies "more times than you'd ever want to know" and he wanted something done about it.
At the third hearing, Ms. Lewis was gone and replaced by Mr.
Mr. Banks testified that on January 11 at around
Mr. Banks, Mr. Stamberg, and Mr. Aferiot each admitted that they could not see the driver and made no eye contact, but that they were sure the cabbie saw them because of the way he came toward them and pulled up. They did write down the license number, and Mr. Hammouri did not dispute he was driving that cab that night. He did say that he had a passenger in the back seat already.
In his defense, Mr. Hammouri, a
native of
Mr. Hammouri offered his trip sheet into evidence. A record of trips and fares that cabbies are required to compile as they go about their work, the TLC collects the trip sheet from the driver's garage as part of what it calls its "pre-hearing investigation."
At the earlier hearing, Ms. Lewis noted that the trip sheet in the court file was for January 11, 1999, not January 11, 2000. Right date, wrong year. She adjourned the hearing so the agency could secure the right document.
The agency never did so, but Mr. Hammouri presented to the court his own copy, having obtained it from his garage himself.
The record indicated that at 7:22 p.m. Mr. Hammouri dropped off a fare at
Since he had no way of contacting the woman he drove to
Last March, Sister McCann hailed Mr. Hammouri
on
Mr. Hammouri did more than that. He also saved the woman's life.
After a few blocks, he looked in the rearview mirror and saw that the woman had fallen backward and appeared unconscious. “I could see something was really wrong,” he recalled later. “Her face was blue. I thought she was dead. I said ‘lady, lady,’ and tried to wake her. She said something, but not very coherent.”
Mr. Hammouri, pulled over, got into the back seat, and gave the woman mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Once she started breathing. Mr. Hammouri started again for the hospital. Before he got there, he administered CPR a second time.
At St. Luke’s, Mr. Hammouri called over a security guard and told him to get a doctor. He stayed with the woman and continued mouth-to-mouth until the emergency room medics took over. He stood there with tears in his eyes. “I thought she was finished,” he said.
Sister McCann had suffered a ventricular cardiac arrest. When she woke up in the hospital two days later, she testified, the doctors told her "that cabbie saved your life."
With documentary proof that he already had a fare and character testimony by a nun whose life he had saved, it is, perhaps, not surprising that Mr. Hammouri was judged guilty nonetheless.
In his handwritten decision, ALJ Dandola wrote that Mr. Banks and his friends had testified credibly that no one was in the cab when it passed them. Mr. Hammouri's testimony to the contrary was "not credible or convincing," the judge wrote. As for the trip sheet indicating a pickup at 7:22 p.m., the judge questioned its authenticity on the ground that the handwriting was "somewhat neater than the older one [1999 trip sheet]."
The judge concluded, "It is clear that the driver initially was going to stop for a single male passenger but refused to accept this fare when it became apparent to him that there were in fact three males about to enter his cab."
He acknowledged as "credible" Sister McCann's testimony as to "the driver's exemplary conduct in saving her life." But, the judge said, "the driver's good deeds on previous trips are not a defense," and he fined Mr. Hammouri $200.

So when the White House spokesman announces that he wants to borrow a few trillion to finance a new program that "will be a savings over the current system," look out. When it proves not to be, the people who put the system in place will be long gone.
A final prediction follows. Those of us who have followed this debate for 20 years have always known that once it came down to the reality of the financial costs of the transition—a subject the privatization people have struggled to avoid—this whole scheme would unravel. Young people won't pay the premiums. And not even the most reckless of lawmakers is prepared to blast a $2 trillion hole in the budget based on some far-flung 40-year plan.
Once this faux-privatization idea is out of the way, we can get back to doing what believers in a free society should be doing: working toward getting government not more involved in society, but toward creating the intellectual conditions that enable people to imagine a world where government leaves the choice over how to use resources to individuals.
If more choice is the goal, let people drop out of the system. Don't create another coercive system and tell people they are being liberated.
