Bodies Piled on Asian Coasts, Tsunami Kills 22,000
Dec 27, 10:41 AM (ET)
By Chamintha Thilakarathna
=== <begin quote> ===
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (Reuters) - Rescuers scoured the sea for missing tourists in Asia Monday and fears of disease grew as emergency services struggled with rotting bodies from a devastating tsunami that killed more than 22,000 people.
The disaster spared no one. Western tourists were killed sunbathing on beaches, poor villagers drowned in homes by the sea and fishermen died in flimsy boats. The 21-year-old grandson of Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej was killed on a jet-ski.
=== <end quote> ===
One can only say a prayer for the dead. But we can recognize how fragile life is and how unprepared we are when events overtake us. In the coming days and weeks, we’ll learn the true count, but sooner or later the events will fade from our attention. How many of us will use this to reexamine how we live? For my part, I am going pick up some more cans of Dinty Moore stew. My Y2K supplies have all dwindled down and could use a refresh.
Recently, out on the interstate, scores of people were stranded. No casualties as far as I have heard due to the fast action of local farmers. We all share the duty as “our brother’s keeper”. Maybe a prayer for all the rescuers around the globe is in order.
But, if you do give money, for any of the worthwhile demands for our attention and charity, watch out for the scammers. You know the human vultures who prey on any situation. And, it wasn’t just “little guys” who feathered their own nests at the expense of the helpless. Remember after 9/11, how some of the “big charities” were caught taking 9/11 donations and putting it in their general funds for “operating expenses” like salaries and perks. So remember the “rules” for effective compassion http://www.acton.org/publicat/books/transformwelfare/olasky.html and don’t be a good-hearted sucker.
Jaspers are an “easy touch” but we are from
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Of course.
Does she miss hanging out at clubs with friends on Friday and Saturday nights?
Yep.
Does she miss the convenience of the subway and bus systems that crisscross the city where she was born, making getting from one place to another simple?
Sure.
Does she miss the much smaller German schools where each day brings different classes?
Yeah.
But for the last four months -- and the next six -- DiSanto

"I enjoy my family," DiSanto says. "We do a lot of stuff together. They're so nice and they make me laugh always. We are very busy, and I enjoy it."

DiSanto also is playing organized sports for the first time,

"I've met a lot of friends from cross country," says DiSanto, who plans to join Clovis West's track and field team in the spring.

"She has brought so much to us," says Williams, a Clovis High teacher who first hosted a student last year. "She has brought the culture. She has brought a different way of life. She has brought love and joy."
DiSanto says she will have many stories to share when she
returns home in June, where she will have three more years of school followed
by four years at the university, where she hopes to study language or
computers. There will be stories of picking out an "American Christmas
tree," of eating Mexican food for the first time, of cooking pasta for the
Williamses and of enjoying all of the rides at
"I miss my friends and my family," DiSanto says. "I spend a lot of time with them and it's very hard to be separated from them. But on the other hand, I have a new family and new friends.
"On the one hand I'm very sad I have to leave in June, but I know my family and all my friends are waiting for me so that's happy. I know I will cry when it's time to go."

Slam Dunk Challenge:
By JOE LOMBARDI
THE JOURNAL NEWS
(Original publication: December 30, 2004)
The problem for the Tigers in the first quarter of the
teams' semifinal meeting yesterday in the Slam Dunk Challenge at the
But a defensive adjustment in the second quarter helped the Tigers (6-1) get the tempo in their favor and the result was a 53-35 victory.
White Plains will play the winner of the Peekskill-McQuaid Jesuit semifinal in the championship game today at 8 p.m. Iona Prep faces the Peekskill-McQuaid Jesuit loser in the third-place game at 4:30 p.m.
The game started with Iona Prep (2-2) able to play the way it did in pulling off the upset of the three-day tournament, a 48-44 opening-round win against PSAL power Grady of Brooklyn.
The Gaels took a 7-6 lead yesterday on a pull-up jumper from the top of the key by Miro Fain (team-high 11 points) with 1:20 to go in the first period.
After a basket by junior guard David Boykin (eight points)
gave the Tigers an 8-7 lead at the end of quarter,
"(The Gaels) executed their offense very well in the first quarter," Mayfield said. "They made the extra pass and were able to bring the ball up against our press. So we went from a man press to a zone press."
The result was a 6-0 run which started with the final basket of the first quarter, ending with a fast-break basket by senior guard Carl Bartley, giving White Plains a 12-7 lead.
"We didn't come out with that fire we always have," said Bartley, who finished with 12 points. "But in the second quarter, we took the game to them."
"They were trying to slow things up," Boykin said. "We knew we had to put more pressure on them and play our tempo."

The streak ended with a basket by senior star Devon Austin off a feed from Boykin on a fast break.
"We tried to speed up the game,"

Officiating troubles Jaspers coach

Box Score: UWM 88,
In that case, count the UW-Milwaukee Panthers thrice
blessed. They found not one, not two but three friendly- not to mention
familiar - faces awaiting them Thursday night at
Because this was a return match of the Bracket Buster game
last year in which officials from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference were
employed in
“It felt like a road game to me tonight,”
It’s little wonder that Gonzalez was scratching his head. His team outshot the Panthers 52.5% (31 for 59) to 40% (24 for 60), but lost the game at the free-throw line.
UWM (7-3) converted 35 of 40 free throws (12 of 12 in
overtime), compared with
“Are you kidding me?” Panthers coach Bruce Pearl said when asked about the foul situation. “I’m not even going to go there.”
With the Panthers struggling on offense, the 35 converted free throws were a godsend. But the re-emergence of Boo Davis, who scored a personal-high 22 points, was more important.
After a strong start at UWM, the junior-college transfer who
red-shirted last season had basically disappeared during the Panthers’ trip and
lost his starting point-guard job to Chris Hill against
“I just needed to settle down, make a few shots and get a
little more confidence,”
“You’ve got to trust what you know, not always what you
see,”
The player who benefited most from
McCants, who had just nine points in the first 40 minutes, scored 12 in the overtime period to check in with 21.

Mr. Reinke,
I don't know you, but periodically I do a search on my name on google to see what things are on the internet about me.
Needless to say, I was a little surprised to see my name in "Jaspers in harms way" in your 11/21/2004 publication.
As you can tell, I'm doing ok (still in harms way). I was wondering how you found out about my situation and the fact that I was in the military participating in operations overseas.
A little background on me -- graduated in 2000 with a BS in Chemical Engineering. I'm a consultant for IBM in civilian life. (I'm a member of the MA National Guard).

Dear Jasper 2LT,
Funny I do the same thing, search the inet for my name. I run several ezines -- Jottings - you found, Reinke "ramblings", a high school one, etc -- so I am into this stuff. Ever since I heard about the reporter who found his credit card number just doing a casual search, I check also.
I am pleased that you found us and even more pleased that you're safe. Your brother ratted you out. I pinged him with an invite to our "club", which you are more than welcome to receive as well, and he spilled the beans.
Since then you've had the prayers and good wishes of a mob of your fellow Jaspers.
I collect Jasper news and distribute it to a bunch of our fellow Jaspers. It's weekly and very "rough" since it is a near zero cost one man show that I've been doing for more than 5 years. So I do internet searches, augmented by my readers submitting stuff (like in your case), to compose what I think is a unique little weekly.
Best wishes for a good Christmas and keep your head down,

[JR: Upon reflection, the “advice” has been passed on from past generations of Jasper vets. In the war movies, the “good guys” always get shot when they stick their head up. When I was in survival school a grizzled old instructor old me PERSONALLY that if I didn’t get my head out of my (can one really put it there?) that I was going to get myself or my buddies killed. This was shortly after I navigated us over a small cliff in a night navigation exercise. I am sure I’d have done better if I had my <expletive deleted> GLASSES which were taken away as having been lost when we “ejected” since they weren’t tied down. Like I was athletic enough to get out of a C135 spinning down. Right! (BTW, I never did get to ride on an Air Force plane and served my time next to a Navy guy who in 8 years had never been on a Navy boat. Yeah, ship. Go figure). So, I guess the better advice is to keep your head in the game since there is no reset button. That and if you give us an address, we can send you “CARE” packages. Need any paperbacks, food, flak jackets, armor for the humvees? I probably can strip a shotgun and send it. If I can’t I’m sure someone at my (gun)club can show me how. Sort of like the MASH episode when Radar sent home a Jeep in reverse. Wanna send us your humveee? ]

Scrooge Defended
by Michael Levin
=== <begin quote> ===
It's Christmas again, time to celebrate the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge. You know the ritual: boo the curmudgeon initially encountered in Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, then cheer the sweetie pie he becomes in the end. It's too bad no one notices that the curmudgeon had a point—quite a few points, in fact.
To appreciate them, it is necessary first to distinguish Scrooge's outlook on life from his disagreeable persona. He is said to have a pointed nose and a harsh voice, but not all hardheaded businessmen are so lamentably endowed, nor are their feckless nephews (remember Fred?) alwavs "ruddy and handsome," and possessed of pretty wives. These touches of the storyteller's art only bias the issue.
So let's look without preconceptions at Scrooge's allegedly underpaid clerk, Bob Cratchit. The fact is, if Cratchit's skills were worth more to anyone than the fifteen shillings Scrooge pays him weekly, there would be someone glad to offer it to him. Since no one has, and since Cratchit's profit-maximizing boss is hardly a man to pay for nothing, Cratchit must be worth exactly his present wages.
No doubt Cratchit needs—i.e., wants—more, to support his family and care for Tiny Tim. But Scrooge did not force Cratchit to father children he is having difficulty supporting. If Cratchit had children while suspecting he would be unable to afford them, he, not Scrooge, is responsible for their plight. And if Cratchit didn't know how expensive they would be, why must Scrooge assume the burden of Cratchit's misjudgment?
As for that one lump of coal Scrooge allows him, it bears emphasis that Cratchit has not been chained to his chilly desk. If he stays there, he shows by his behavior that he prefers his present wages-plus-comfort package to any other he has found, or supposes himself likely to find. Actions speak louder than grumbling, and the reader can hardly complain about what Cratchit evidently finds satisfactory.
More notorious even than his miserly ways are Scrooge's cynical words. "Are there no prisons," he jibes when solicited for charity, "and the Union workhouses?"
Terrible, right? Lacking in compassion?
Not necessarily. As Scrooge observes, he supports those institutions with his taxes. Already forced to help those who can't or won't help themselves, it is not unreasonable for him to balk at volunteering additional funds for their extra comfort.
Scrooge is skeptical that many would prefer death to the workhouse, and he is unmoved by talk of the workhouse's cheerlessness. He is right to be unmoved, for society's provisions for the poor must be, well, Dickensian. The more pleasant the alternatives to gainful employment, the greater will be the number of people who seek these alternatives, and the fewer there will be who engage in productive labor. If society expects anyone to work, work had better be a lot more attractive than idleness.
<extraneous deleted>
=== <end quote> ===
An excellent point! One doesn't usually become rich by luck. When you provide a valuable service to your fellow man, they give you these pieces of paper or equivalent to say thanks. The more thanks you earn, them more pieces of paper you have. When government or the do-gooders-with-your-money get the idea to "save the … whatever", look out below. The Lord Acton institute has long urged the personal involvement in charity is necessary to be effective, prevent waste, motivate the receiver, and reward the contributor. As with many economic fallacies, we ignore the hidden costs (i.e., a dollar taken in taxes to save the spotted owl is a dollar I don’t have to throw in the Salvation Army kettle outside WalMart), and the unintended consequences at our peril.
P.S.: You are shopping at WalMart and not Target after their bone-headed move to bar the SalvationArmy from collecting outside the Target stores?
Arghhh!
IMHO!
And that’s the last word.
