Grounded: Millionaire John Gilmore stays close to home while
making a point about privacy
He's unable to travel because he refuses to present a government-approved ID
Sunday, February 27, 2005
By Dennis Roddy, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
=== <begin quote> ===
The gate agent asked for his ID.
Gilmore asked her why.
It is the law, she said.
Gilmore asked to see the law.
Nobody could produce a copy. To date, nobody has. The regulation that mandates ID at airports is "Sensitive Security Information." The law, as it turns out, is unavailable for inspection.
What started out as a weekend trip to
In post 9/11
At the heart of Gilmore's stubbornness is the worry about the thin line between safety and tyranny.
"Are they just basically saying we just can't travel without identity papers? If that's true, then I'd rather see us go through a real debate that says we want to introduce required identity papers in our society rather than trying to legislate it through the back door through regulations that say there's not any other way to get around," Gilmore said. "Basically what they want is a show of obedience."
As happens to the disobedient, Gilmore is grounded. He is
rich -- he estimates his net worth at $30 million -- and cannot fly inside the
"I think of myself as being under regional arrest," he said. Even with $30 million in the bank, regional arrest can be hard. He takes the bus to and from events at which he is applauded by less well-heeled computer techies who flew in from around the country after showing a boarding pass and one form of government-issued photo ID and arrived in rental cars that required a valid driver's license and one major credit card.
<extraneous deleted>
That night, he caught a ride home with a friend. The night before was more to his liking. On a bus running through San Francisco to Haight-Ashbury, a multimillionaire sat alone in a seat next to a woman who appeared to be homeless. Neither knew who the other one was. All John Gilmore had to show to get on board was a $1.25 fare. That's how he likes it.
=== <end quote> ===
Now here’s fellow with the courage of his convictions. I’m not sure that I could do it. My response is to not fly. Frau and I drive to our vacations. At some point, we have to say “No”. What is your point? Do we all have the courage to speak up when something is wrong? We learned at MC about doing the right things, regardless of the cost. Ethics and self-image guide us. The little voice inside tells us to do the right thing is even when no one is looking. At a young age, I remember a nun telling me that I should act in every regard such that I could accurately report to my mother what I had done. She opined that if I could tell my mom what I did with pride, then there was no better standard. I’ve used that standard in life and I have never been disappointed with the results. I hope we can all meet that standard, a different one, a better one, or at least one that we can defend at the Final Judgment. I hope I can meet anyone of them. Are we allowed to mix and match the most liberal parts of each standard at the final Accounting? I shoulda went to law school.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

The South End via U-Wire University Wire Jim Matthews, the author of "Beer, Booze and Books ... a sober look at higher education," came to speak to Wayne State University students Wednesday night in the Bernath Auditorium in the David Adamany Undergraduate Library. Armed with a PowerPoint presentation and witty one-liners, Matthews got serious about students and alcohol use. Matthews, who has toured about 190 campuses throughout the United States, is the coordinator of Health Education at Merrimack College in Massachusetts. For 13 years, he served as assistant to the vice president for alcohol and other drug programs at Keene College in New Hampshire. He has a bachelor of science degree from Manhattan College and a master's degree in education from Queens College in New York City. Among his many accomplishments, he has appeared on various TV and radio shows educating people about alcohol and drug abuse and prevention. More than 90 students showed up to hear Matthews spew information about the biology of drinking, advertising schemes and college alcohol use. Throughout his presentation he shifted between sobering statistics and amusing anecdotes, covering everything from liver functions to beer googles. Matthews used graphics and video to show how alcohol affects the body and why it's a bad idea to drink on an empty stomach, among other things. He explained the four times students should avoid alcohol, using the acronym HALT: "When you're hungry, angry, lonely and tired," he said. These are times that alcohol can have greater affects than students might expect, he said. Oksana Valniuk, 20, a biology major at Wayne State, said she came to hear Matthews speak because she was curious. "It's not an issue you talk about in front of your friends," she said, "I liked the presentation though. He was entertaining as well as educational." With spring break coming up, many students are planning trips that are bound to include some form of drinking. In his book, Matthews writes, "Spring break is a college ritual long associated with excessive alcohol or other drug use. But at what cost?" According to the book, researchers found that the daily consumption of five to nine drinks per day [at a moderate rate] for just eight days by non-alcoholic subjects resulted in some signs of liver damage. Mathews asks, "How much damage is taking place in Florida, the Caribbean, and Mexico during spring break?" Matthews also explained that one-third of college students drink and drive. "That means two-thirds of you aren't drinking and driving," he said. However, it is the thing we "hear about most when reading the papers." Matthews believes that this negative attention, along with the influence of media advertising, makes college students look worse than facts would suggest. But just what is the media saying? "If you are an average 18- or 19-year-old entering college, you have been viewing nearly 1,000 beer, wine and liquor ads in the mass media each year," Matthews said. He demonstrated this by showing a 30-second clip of a car race that aired on TV. In just 30 short seconds, the viewer is bombarded with at least 25 images of just one beer company's logo. It was everywhere from the cars, to the mechanics, to the racetrack itself and Matthews wonders, what message are they trying to send? Along with copies of his book for the first 25 guests, Matthews advertised key chain breathalyzers that have an infinite shelf life as described on his Web site, www.beerboozebooks.com. On the site students can find a message board for comments and questions to Matthews himself, as well as a section devoted to helping parents prepare their children for college.

Google Alert for: "manhattan college" -"marymount manhattan college" -"borough of manhattan college" Flores eyeing an education Luis Flores had the minor misfortune of arriving on a Nuggets team with the two sturdiest point guards in the NBA. But the rookie also realizes he has the greater good fortune of being in the league, period. Earl Boykins has played in 207 straight games and Andre Miller 179 in a row - the sixth- and seventh-longest active streaks in the NBA and tops at their position. Still, on a Denver bench comprised entirely of NBA longshots, the supposed throw-in to the deal that landed the Nuggets Eduardo Najera and a first-round pick from Golden State said he believes he can fit in with his new team. "I feel like the team is composed of players that have earned their time," Flores said Wednesday after staying long after his teammates to keep shooting at the Pepsi Center. "They have earned their status. That's something that could rub off on me as a young guy." With Nene on the injured list, not a single Nuggets reserve is a former first-round draft pick. Six, including Flores, were second-rounders, while Boykins went undrafted. Having just arrived Friday, Flores still can't find the interstate that sits a few hundred yards west of the Pepsi Center. But he's accustomed to his current situation - trying to make a name for himself among a strong group of point guards. He is, after all, from New York. An immigrant who arrived in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood from the Dominican Republic at age 9, Flores started playing basketball at 11. As he approached college age, the city was agog over another trio of point guards - Andre Barrett, Omar Cook and Taliek Brown - who ended up at Seton Hall, St. John's and Connecticut, respectively. Flores quietly went to Rutgers, a lesser Big East light, then transferred to Manhattan College. He finished his senior year ranked fifth in the NCAA, averaging 24 points. "Just from the fact that I'm from New York, I feel like I'm a part of it," Flores said of his adopted hometown's age-old point guard tradition. "But I think I'm different from a lot of New York point guards. I didn't come up with all that hype." Flores said he knows he is in Denver primarily as a practice player, and that he is the obvious candidate to go on the injured list if, as expected, Wesley Person clears waivers and the Nuggets sign him today. Oddly enough, Flores' ability to soak up practice minutes should help Miller and Boykins extend their streaks and reduce his chances of playing by allowing the guards to rest. "He's (Flores) going to definitely make us better, him just being there and us knowing that," Miller said. Plus, coach George Karl said, "If Andre and Earl would get a two- or three-game injury, at least we'd have a backup player that would know the system and know the plays." But the rookie, taken 55th by Houston in June before being traded to Dallas, then the Warriors, before the preseason even started, is used to taking the longer route to success. He praised Boykins and Miller for staying healthy. "That's good, because I can learn from them, too," Flores said. "Andre and Earl, they talk to me a whole lot about running the offense and just about playing." Adam Thompson can be reached at 303-820-5447 or athompsonnospamatnospamdenverpost.com .

Within this pleasant, family-oriented setting, you can experience the intrinsic beauty and rustic charm of Rockland County and the surrounding areas, including more affordable options to the West and neighboring Northern New Jersey. Take in views of the Hudson River amid picturesque mountains, pristine lakes, as well as cultural attractions and historic landmarks. Palisades Center Mall, which is the nation's second largest mall, Woodbury Commons (the largest factory outlet mall in America), and a collection of rustic shops provide plenty of local shopping opportunities. Of course, with New York City within easy reach, you can always experience all of the culture, nightlife, recreation, and entertainment of America's largest metropolitan area. With this highly diverse combination of big-city attractions and small-town living options, you truly can do it all. Real Estate Considering the proximity of this relatively small-town area to metropolitan New York City and other nearby cities, there is a home to suit the lifestyle, budget, and preference of practically any individual or family. Regardless of income or dwelling preference, the lower Hudson Valley/Northern New Jersey area has a lot to offer prospective residents. Schools/Higher Education Many of the schools in the surrounding areas of the Hudson Valley and Northern New Jersey are highly rated and provide a variety of options for a strong public education. In fact, the public school system of Pearl River received a very special accolade in 2001: the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award. Four-year institutions of higher learning within a short drive include College of Mount Saint Vincent, NY; CUNY-Lehman College, NY; Dominican College of Blauvelt, NY; Manhattan College, NY; Nyack College, NY; and Saint Thomas Aquinas College, NY. Entertainment Living in the Hudson Valley/Northern New Jersey area puts you within reach of the entire range of cultural and recreational options. The local area is well within driving range of various opportunities for antiquing, hiking in the mountains, swimming and other water sports on clear lakes, fine dining, natural and national history sites, and museums. With New York City a short drive away, an entire world of arts and entertainment, professional sports, music, world-class museums, and much more is at your command. === [JR: Hmmm, using MC, as an allure, for jobs in Pearl River, for an advertisement in Pakistan?

Times-Picayune (New Orleans) While thousands of people made their way into Louisiana and stationed themselves around the New Orleans area for Mardi Gras, members of the Saint Paul’s Marian Players retreated to a seemingly less busy New York City. Leaving the campus at 3 a.m. on Ash Wednesday, the students arrived in "The Big Apple" that evening. Shortly after arriving, the group was met by actor/composer/director Ed Linderman, who was both a cast member of the original West Side Story and the original music director for "Godspell." Linderman led the Marian Players in a workshop giving advice and answering any questions the group had. "He really inspired us to treat every rehearsal like it was opening night and to be ready at all times to perform," senior Whitney Brown said of the workshop. After the workshop, they attended Ash Wednesday Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and a performance of the Broadway musical "Lion King." After the performance, they were able to go backstage and meet with some of the actors; there they learned about what went on during the show, and what it took to make the show a success. With the first day on the books, the students awoke on Thursday to a busy schedule. They visited the campus of Manhattan College, where they were joined by the head of admissions. Throughout the tour, he showed the students parts of the campus filmed in the movie "A Beautiful Mind" and talked with the students about what it was like to be a member of the student body at a LaSallian college. The Marian Players also learned about alumni of the school, including former New York Mayor Rudolph Guiliani and others who have moved on to become CEOs and actors. The group then spent some time in China Town and saw the Blue Man Group that night.

Sarasota Herald-Tribune (Florida) When the new Braden River High opens its doors in August, the athletic program won't have time to catch its breath. Despite having only freshmen and sophomores, the school will field varsity teams in all sports except football and wrestling, said Bob Bowling, the school's athletic director. Bowling named his first two head coaches on Wednesday when he selected Danny Lee to lead the baseball program and Matt Nesser to be his boys basketball coach. Earlier in the week, parents and future students selected the school mascot to be a Pirate and chose maroon, black and silver as the school colors. Bowling and Jim Pauley, who will be Braden River's principal, decided after talking with parents, to field as many varsity teams as possible. "We felt that in the non-contact sports we would be better off playing better competition," Bowling said. "We also didn't think playing JV was fair to 10th-graders coming in, who would've been good enough to play varsity at their previous school." Braden River, located at S.R. 70 and Caruso Road, will have about 700 students when it opens. Most of the sophomores will be coming from Lakewood Ranch High and about a fourth from Southeast, Bowling said. The 45-year-old Lee worked in the baseball academy at IMG Bollettieri. He was an assistant with the Manatee Community College baseball team and then head baseball coach at Saint Stephen's Episcopal School until 2001. He is the founder and director of "Grass Roots Athletics," which trains baseball and softball players. Lee, a catcher who played at Seminole Community College and grew up in Northern Virginia, supported the decision to go immediately into varsity action. "I wanted to field a varsity team next year and it was something the parents really wanted," he said. "We will take some bumps and bruises, but in the long run it will help us." Nesser, a guidance counselor at Lakewood Ranch High, is a native of Rochester, N.Y. He holds numerous records at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa., where he played basketball from 1983 through '87. The 40-year-old Nesser holds the college's record in career assists (615), single-season assists (230) and single-game assists (15). He also played in a school record 110 straight games. From 1990 through 2000, he worked as an assistant college coach and was twice a head college coach. He spent one year at Division I Manhattan College as an assistant. For baseball and basketball, Braden River will be in a district with Booker, Palmetto, DeSoto County, Wauchula Hardee, Avon Park and Sebring. LOAD-DATE: February 25, 2005 |

Cavaliers clobber Manhattan
By Andrew Joyner
Daily Progress staff writer
Sunday, February 27, 2005
Virginia took it to Manhattan early and often Saturday afternoon.
The UVa men’s lacrosse team opened a 7-0 halftime edge en route to an 18-2 victory over Manhattan College at the University Hall Turf Field.
John Christmas and Matt Ward each had three goals and an assist for the Cavaliers (2-0).
Drew Thompson and Jack Riley each added two goals while Kyle Dixon contributed a goal and three assists for the second straight game.
The win was Virginia’s largest in terms of margin since a 21-3 decision over Butler in 2002. The two goals were also the fewest allowed by the Cavaliers since a 10-2 win over Towson in 2003.
“It was a good day overall. We all understand that our lives are about to become more difficult. This was a good experience for us to get the chance to put the uniforms on and get on the field and now we have some important games coming up,” Virginia coach Dom Starsia said.
Christmas was making his first appearance of the season after sitting out last Sunday’s game with Drexel because of what Starsia labeled a “team issue.”
“It felt good to get out and play. I was a little anxious,” Christmas said.
Christmas and his fellow attackman Ward and Ben Rubeor continue to be something of a work in progress as they adjust to each other but it was clear Saturday that Christmas’ sheer speed and athleticism will be an asset to that development process.
“There are not many people that can cover John 1-on-1 because of his speed. He causes all kinds of matchup problems,” Ward said.
Added Starsia: “He attracts so much attention. If I were an attackman, I’d really want to play with John Christmas. You almost have to put your first defenseman on him and that means your second guy is on Ward.”
Virginia led 3-0 after the first quarter on goals by Dixon, J.J. Morrissey and Christmas. The Cavaliers increased that advantage with four more goals in the second quarter. Rubeor was the main catalyst in the period as he contributed a goal and two assists.
Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Bud Petit made his first career start and registered three saves. Per Starsia’s set rotation in the cage, Kip Turner relieved Petit at the dawn of the second half. Turner had four saves and surrendered two goals in his 30 minutes of action.
“It felt good to get out there. It was nice to start and not have to come off the bench. I think that made me feel a little more comfortable,” Petit said.
Both goalies have done little to separate themselves from one another in the first two games and Starsia will likely maintain the rotation. That means Turner would start Monday against Denver with Petit playing the second half.
“I thought both the goalies played well. Bud played very well. He was asked to make some real saves while he was in there,” Starsia said. “These two guys don’t make it easy on me.”
The rest of the team just smirks when asked about the goalie situation.
“I’m just glad I’m not Dom,” said Christmas with a wide grin.
The halftime lead only increased for the Cavaliers as the Jaspers could offer almost no resistance. Virginia’s lead expanded to 13-0 after a six-goal third quarter that was highlighted by two goals each from Christmas and Ward. Thompson and Matt Poskay added the additional goals in the period.
Ward’s third goal came early in the fourth quarter and staked the Cavaliers to a 14-0 lead.
The only drama that remained in the game was to see if Virginia could notch the very rare shutout. Alas, Manhattan’s Justin Otto scored a goal with 11:28 left in the game to eliminate the possibility.
Greg Lewis later added another goal for the Jaspers but Virginia closed out the scoring with two goals from Riley and single tallies from Drew Garrison and Ryan Kelly.
The Cavaliers will have a quick turnaround as they host Denver on Monday at 3 p.m. That game is scheduled to be played at Klockner Stadium but could be moved back to the turf field because of inclement weather.
Early last season, Virginia traveled to Denver’s tournament in April and promptly lost both games to Denver and Air Force. Many feel the Cavaliers never quite recovered from that poor start as they finished the season 5-8.
“You know, you can’t hold anything against Denver because all they did was beat us in a game. I think though among our guys this is still a game that has been circled on the calendar for a while,” Starsia said.

If "the victory at Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eaton" and if Douglas MacArthur tells us ‘On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other fields on other days will bear the fruits of victory.’, Then hopefully we are learning. ]

HEADLINE: CLARK, ST. PETER'S HAVE JASPERS FEELING SICK
BYLINE: BY SEAN BRENNAN DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER
KEYDREN CLARK noticed something was wrong with Manhattan's Peter Mulligan early on in yesterday's regular-season finale against the Jaspers.
Clark, St. Peter's junior guard, could see Mulligan was not himself. There was no aggression, few scoring chances and a general malaise on defense.
"I knew something was wrong when he came out and he wasn't aggressive, he wasn't looking for his shot," Clark said. "Something was wrong there. Then before he was taking a foul shot, I asked him and he said, 'I'm a little under the weather.' From there I knew he was out of the game mentally."
And soon the Jaspers were out of the game as well. With C.J. Anderson playing just nine minutes of the first half because of foul trouble and Mulligan sitting the final 11:51 of the game while fighting a losing battle with the flu, Clark and St. Peter's went for the jugular and ran the Jaspers right out of the Yanitelli Center in Jersey City yesterday with an 85-64 victory.
The win gave St. Peter's (15-12, 10-8 MAAC) a fourth-place finish and the final bye in the MAAC tournament this weekend in Buffalo, while Manhattan (14-13, 9-9) dropped to sixth. The Jaspers will face ninth seed Loyola Saturday night at 9:30 in a first-round matchup.
"We'll put this out of our minds," Manhattan coach Bobby Gonzalez said. "We'll try and turn the page quickly."
That might be a good idea, because besides Mulligan's illness, there was the poor foul shooting (14-of-26), three-point shooting (6-of-20) and overall accuracy from the floor (22-of-54, 37.5%). The Jaspers also were outrebounded 38-32 and turned the ball over 16 times.
"The same things that plagued us on the road all season plagued us again," Gonzalez said.
Then, of course, there was Clark to contend with. Clark didn't start yesterday, choosing instead to give up his spot to senior Derrick Hooker on Senior Day. But when he did enter 91 seconds into the game, it didn't take the nation's leading scorer (25.9 ppg) long to get on track. He hit his first shot at the 12:15 mark of the first half and had 17 by intermission. He added 16 in the second half to finish with 33 points and he did it with Manhattan's Jason Wingate, his former teammate at Rice HS, contesting almost every shot.
"You can only hope to contain him," said Wingate, who finished with a career-high 17 points. "It seemed like every time he took a shot, my hand was in his face and he hit it anyway."
"Once I got in the game, I got in a groove, got rolling and never looked back," Clark said.
It may be a good idea for Manhattan not to look back at this one as well.

HEADLINE: Virginia dominates Manhattan
BYLINE: By Walker Freer, Cavalier Daily; SOURCE: U. Virginia
DATELINE: CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
If the Manhattan Jaspers were expecting a hospitable welcome to accompany the warm weather during their trip south, they forgot to mention it to Virginia. Behind the return of senior attackman John Christmas, the Virginia men's lacrosse team beat Manhattan College 18-2 Saturday at the Turf Field.
Christmas, who did not play in last Sunday's win over Drexel due to a "team matter," scored three goals while adding one assist.
Unlike its previous contests this season, Virginia finally was able to put together a complete game on both ends of the field.
"I thought it was the best second half we played since the preseason started," Virginia coach Dom Starsia said. "We raised the level of our play in the second half, and we haven't done that yet, so that was a good thing."
For the Cavaliers, there were almost too many good things to count. There was the balanced offensive production with juniors Matt Ward and Kyle Dixon each adding four points. There was midfielder Jack deVilliers dominating the faceoffs, winning 12-of-15, and there was the stifling Virginia defense, which maintained a shutout well into the fourth quarter.
The Virginia offense took a quarter to get in gear, mustering only three goals during the first 15 minutes, but the Cavaliers scored four goals over a five-minute stretch in the second quarter which led to a 7-0 halftime cushion. Following the intermission, the attack began to work in sync with the unit of Christmas, Ward and freshman Ben Rubeor, providing a preview of things to come for Virginia fans over the rest of the season.
"[The attackmen] have to set the tone out there," Christmas said. "We have to be the quarterback. I felt we did a really good job today, all three of us."
Midway through the third quarter, Ward tallied the 100th point of his career at Virginia, a moment that was negated by his turnover-prone performance.
"For the past two games I've been a walking turnover," Ward said. "I just have to get it out of my head and keep playing hard. I would've taken back all my goals today for no turnovers."
Starsia shared Ward's view.
"Matt, he makes plays. He's that kind of player," he said. "But his game isn't quite there yet. He missed a couple of weeks early."
Virginia's pair of goalies continued their outstanding play against the Jaspers, allowing only two goals and recording seven saves. Michael Petit started and Kip Turner entered in the third quarter, maintaining the two-goalie system. While the goalies deserve credit, the defense limited Manhattan to just 22 shots overall, compared to 53 for Virginia.
With Denver University visiting for a game Monday, the Cavaliers had no time to savor win number two.
"We'll meet [Saturday night] and go over some stuff," Starsia said. "We're ready to go on Monday."
For Virginia's players, the memory of last seasons 9-7 loss to the Pioneers is still fresh in their memory.
"This is one we really want," Christmas said. "We want to take it to them."
Starsia echoed the players' sentiments.
"There are some situations in athletics where a group of athletes feels like they faced another group of athletes and they just didn't show them anything," he said. "I think amongst our guys, there's a feeling that this is a game that we've circled on the calendar for awhile."
If the first two games of the season have proven anything, it's that the Cavaliers will be firing on all cylinders against the Pioneers, ready to take revenge for a loss that wrecked their 2004 campaign almost before it even began.

HEADLINE: Virginia overcome jitters
BYLINE: By Kyle O'Connor, Cavalier Daily; SOURCE: U. Virginia
DATELINE: CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
Virginia lacrosse coach Dom Starsia knows his players are tense. He knows what it feels like to put on a jersey early in the season and step from the safety of the practice field to the midfield line in front of hundreds of fans. He also knows that now is not the time to let those nerves take over.
"Some young players are tighter in games than scrimmages because they've never experienced that [kind of environment] before," Starsia said. "These games are more about the personality of your team than anything else, but you don't want to overlook their significance. All these games are important."
Though they may seem more like warm-ups before the heart of the schedule kicks in, Starsia has learned from experience what can happen if players take these early season games too lightly.
In 2004, the team came out flat, dropping four of their first five games to teams like Denver and Air Force. Though they eventually bounced back and reached the ACC title game, any loss of momentum early in the season can spell trouble.
"Last year, we didn't take care of business in early season games, and that hurt us later on," Starsia said.
Fortunately for Starsia, the team is coming off a dominant 16-7 win over Drexel -- a victory that helped alleviate some early season jitters.
Saturday, the team hopes to notch their second win in as many games against Manhattan College, a relatively unknown team from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
"We don't run across each other all the time, so we're going into this one a little bit blind," Starsia said. "It's one of those games where you tell the players the preparation is more about us than anything else. We'll try to bring some excitement and some energy that maybe we didn't have against Drexel."
Faced with the standard early-season dose of nerves and common mistakes, Starsia emphasized that he is not worried this soon in the schedule.
"I want us to be a little sharper, but you're not supposed to be perfect in February," he said.
Starsia did seem pleased with his talented crop of freshmen, a group he hopes will gain experience over the course of the year.
"We've got a terrific class," he said. "Three freshman middies are getting playing time, and there are a couple of injured guys in the class that we think are players. I see a bright future for all the guys in the freshman class."
One player making his notable debut Saturday will be attackman John Christmas. The senior, who was named a second-team All-American in Virginia's 2003 championship season, battled through injuries in 2004 and was eventually moved to midfield towards the end of the year.
"I'm pretty anxious to get back on the field again [against Manhattan]," Christmas said, "but we're going to treat the game like any other game."
Even though Manhattan might not be on par with some of Virginia's traditional rivals like Syracuse, Maryland and Johns Hopkins, Saturday's game is just what the team needs at this point in the season. With a group of freshmen seeing their first NCAA action, seniors returning from injury and a coach testing out the waters of a new season, the Cavaliers will take all the experience they can get.

The Canisius College women’s basketball team went 9-for-12 from the free-throw line in overtime to secure a 72-64 win over Manhattan College Friday night in the Koessler Athletic Center. The win improved the Golden Griffins to 17-9 overall and 13-4 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, while the Lady Jaspers slipped to 10-16 overall and 6-11 in league play. The Griffs’ 13th conference win sets a new program record for MAAC victories in a single season.
Canisius junior guard Becky Zak (right) scored four of her game-high 19 points in the extra session after draining four free throws. The Blue and Gold used a 7-0 run over the first 4:06 of overtime to take a commanding 68-61 lead. Manhattan went 1-for-9 from the floor and 1-for-3 from three-point land in the extra frame.
Canisius trailed 61-56 with 1:11 left in regulation time after Manhattan senior Donnette Reed went 1-for-2 from the free-throw line. The Griffs cut the Lady Jaspers’ hold to 61-58 after sophomore guard Jessie Lamparski scored a lay-up off a pass from Zak just four seconds later. After a Canisius timeout, Manhattan missed two jumpers at its end of the floor, but Reed was able to get back to the charity stripe after she pulled down an offensive rebound. Reed missed both of her tosses from the line, which set up the Griffs’ final attempt to tie the game and send the contest into overtime.
Canisius forward Megan Lyte missed her chance from just inside the lane, but she was able to grab her own rebound. Lyte zipped a pass to teammate Cheri Wittlieb, who fired a chest-high pass to Zak, who drained a three-pointer from the right corner to knot the game at 61-61 with 19 seconds left on the clock. Canisius forced a Manhattan turnover with 9.1 seconds left to play, but Lamparski’s shot to win the game in regulation rimmed out.
Manhattan was able to overcome a 55-43 deficit by using a 17-2 run over a 6:34 spurt in the second half. During that run, the Lady Jaspers shot 7-for-8 from the floor and a 3-for-4 from the free-throw line. Manhattan took a 60-55 lead with 2:10 left in the contest after senior Serra Sangar hit one of two free throws. Lamparski scored Canisius’ first point in 7:04 with a made free throw to make the score 60-56 with 2:05 left to play, setting up the Griffs’ final minute heroics.
The Lady Jaspers tied the game at 27-27 with the first basket of the second half before the Griffs went on a 14-4 run in the opening 3:30 of the second stanza. Canisius was able to drive its lead to as many as 11 points at 44-33 with 15:31 left in regulation, capped by a three-point basket by Wittlieb.
Zak led four Canisius players in double figures with her 19 points. She also dished out a game-high seven assists in the win to move into eighth place on the school’s all-time career assist chart. Wittlieb was good for 14 points after going 5-for-14 from the field, while Lyte posted her seventh career doubled-double with 13 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. Lamparski added 12 points, three assists and five boards in the winning effort for the Griffs. For the contest, the Griffs out rebounded the Lady Jaspers by a 54-39 count.
Sangar posted a team-high 18 points for Manhattan. Caitlin Flood had 11 points, eight boards and five assists with the freshmen dou of Joann Nwafili and Aubrie Dellinger registering 10 points apiece in the losing effort.
Canisius will close out the regular season Sunday, Feb. 27, with a home game against conference rival Siena. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m., in the Koessler Athletic Center.

Cavaliers clobber Manhattan

over Manhattan College at the University Hall Turf Field. ...

Sunday, February 27, 2005
Virginia took it to Manhattan early and often Saturday afternoon.
The UVa men’s lacrosse team opened a 7-0 halftime edge en route to an 18-2 victory over Manhattan College at the University Hall Turf Field.
John Christmas and Matt Ward each had three goals and an assist for the Cavaliers (2-0).
Drew Thompson and Jack Riley each added two goals while Kyle Dixon contributed a goal and three assists for the second straight game.
The win was Virginia’s largest in terms of margin since a 21-3 decision over Butler in 2002. The two goals were also the fewest allowed by the Cavaliers since a 10-2 win over Towson in 2003.
“It was a good day overall. We all understand that our lives are about to become more difficult. This was a good experience for us to get the chance to put the uniforms on and get on the field and now we have some important games coming up,” Virginia coach Dom Starsia said.
Christmas was making his first appearance of the season after sitting out last Sunday’s game with Drexel because of what Starsia labeled a “team issue.”
“It felt good to get out and play. I was a little anxious,” Christmas said.
Christmas and his fellow attackman Ward and Ben Rubeor continue to be something of a work in progress as they adjust to each other but it was clear Saturday that Christmas’ sheer speed and athleticism will be an asset to that development process.
“There are not many people that can cover John 1-on-1 because of his speed. He causes all kinds of matchup problems,” Ward said.
Added Starsia: “He attracts so much attention. If I were an attackman, I’d really want to play with John Christmas. You almost have to put your first defenseman on him and that means your second guy is on Ward.”
Virginia led 3-0 after the first quarter on goals by Dixon, J.J. Morrissey and Christmas. The Cavaliers increased that advantage with four more goals in the second quarter. Rubeor was the main catalyst in the period as he contributed a goal and two assists.
Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Bud Petit made his first career start and registered three saves. Per Starsia’s set rotation in the cage, Kip Turner relieved Petit at the dawn of the second half. Turner had four saves and surrendered two goals in his 30 minutes of action.
“It felt good to get out there. It was nice to start and not have to come off the bench. I think that made me feel a little more comfortable,” Petit said.
Both goalies have done little to separate themselves from one another in the first two games and Starsia will likely maintain the rotation. That means Turner would start Monday against Denver with Petit playing the second half.
“I thought both the goalies played well. Bud played very well. He was asked to make some real saves while he was in there,” Starsia said. “These two guys don’t make it easy on me.”
The rest of the team just smirks when asked about the goalie situation.
“I’m just glad I’m not Dom,” said Christmas with a wide grin.
The halftime lead only increased for the Cavaliers as the Jaspers could offer almost no resistance. Virginia’s lead expanded to 13-0 after a six-goal third quarter that was highlighted by two goals each from Christmas and Ward. Thompson and Matt Poskay added the additional goals in the period.
Ward’s third goal came early in the fourth quarter and staked the Cavaliers to a 14-0 lead.
The only drama that remained in the game was to see if Virginia could notch the very rare shutout. Alas, Manhattan’s Justin Otto scored a goal with 11:28 left in the game to eliminate the
possibility.
Greg Lewis later added another goal for the Jaspers but Virginia closed out the scoring with two goals from Riley and single tallies from Drew Garrison and Ryan Kelly.
The Cavaliers will have a quick turnaround as they host Denver on Monday at 3 p.m. That game is scheduled to be played at Klockner Stadium but could be moved back to the turf field because of inclement weather.
Early last season, Virginia traveled to Denver’s tournament in April and promptly lost both games to Denver and Air Force. Many feel the Cavaliers never quite recovered from that poor start as they finished the season 5-8.
“You know, you can’t hold anything against Denver because all they did was beat us in a game. I think though among our guys this is still a game that has been circled on the calendar for a while,” Starsia said.

From: Steve Mortillo [1980] John, My son Steve is back from Iraq. He'll be back in NJ for the Month of March for some R&R. Steve Iraq on February 22. He took a helicopter to Balaad and then a C-130 transport to Kuwait. From Kuwait he flew to Frankfurt Germany.Schwenfurt is his home base and he will be there a couple of weeks for some debreifing. The 3rd ID is replacing the first. Steve has completed 267 combat missions, 131 of which he has engaged the enemy. His platoon recieved the distinguished service award. They have had 3 KIA and 8 wounded, 4 RTD and 4 permanently disabled. His Captain Will, is in Walter Reed Army Hospital recovering from gunshot wounds to his right arm. He was shot right in front of Steve, when they were on combat patrol on December 18. So far he has had 7 surguries but is expected to recover with some use of his right arm. If you want to see the year in pictures, go to the 1st ID website.http://www.1id.army.mil/1ID/Mission.htm Steve took some videos of his combat missions too. Steve said all he wants to do when he gets home is sleep on the couch and watch TV. He said its hard to sleep in Iraq because of the automatic weapons fire, exploding IED mortar shells and car bombs. He'll be home for one month, and then he goes back to his base in Schweinfurt Germany until November 2005. His enlistment is up then, and Steve plans on leaving the army for good. I'd like to thank you John for posting Steve's name on the Jaspers sight and for all your thoughts and prayers during this very long year for our family. Steve [JR: Absolutely great news. Politics aside, I personally grateful when any of our men and women get home safely. The fact that there's a Jasper connection, pleases me even more. I look forward to that time when we beat the swords into plowshares. Til then, we rely on the young men, like your son, to do the nation's dangerous work as we and our leaders see it. Hopefully, God will grant us the wisdom to make those decisions. Not sitting in the nation's cockpit seat, it hard to grab the controls. So we'll just have to be content to ensuring that our collective eye is on the ball. And, that the leaders know we're watching. It's the Hawthorn effect applied to public policy. Glad for your and yours. Glad for us all.] |

From: McFadden, Michael J. (1973) I don't usually send in letters that get published, but I just had two out there that I thought were pretty cute... in their own weird ways.... Letter: Cutting cigarettes from welfare a silly proposal http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/Main.asp?SectionID=3&SubSectionID=94&ArticleID=18335 <snip> Sunday, February 13, 2005 Marty Seifert’s Jan. 28 column on welfare and smoking talks about welfare smokers who spend $1,200 a year on their bad habit and calls for an end to such “subsidies.” Funny thing about anti-smoking crusaders, they always seem to have a hard time juggling their numbers. $1,200 a year equates to $3.28 a day which I guess is the price of a pack of cigarettes. But Mr. Seifert fails to note that that includes 48 cents in state tax, 39 cents in federal tax, and about 50 cents in “Master Settlement” tax. If we wanted to reduce the subsidy of welfare folks for cigarettes, why not simply let the welfare folks stop subsidizing the rest of us with unfair taxes? That would cut that $1,200 a year down to $697 and save money. Of course the government would also be out of those taxes and the sales taxes they generate when they sell cigarettes, but anti-smokers never consider sales taxes when they do their magical calculations about the “costs of smoking” anyway. And while we’re correcting the dissolute lifestyles of welfare smokers, why don’t we go after welfare drivers and welfare drinkers? Think of all our tax money they waste tooling around in convertibles and knocking back martinis. Not to mention their despicable habit of wasting our hard-earned money eating at upscale places like McDonald’s. Beans. That’s the answer. Let them eat beans. And when PETA joins up with the anti-smoking crusaders and the anti-obesity police then we can all eat beans! And then we won’t have to worry about smoking and we’ll have “free gas”! MICHAEL J. MCFADDEN <snip> and one from last weekend's USA Today that's not online: Dear Editor, Feb. 14th's article, "Airport Air Unhealthy..." shows just how silly the Smoking Prohibitionists have become. The article claims "frequent fliers may be getting a dangerous dose" of secondary tobacco smoke. A “dangerous dose”? In an airport? An airport where hundreds of planes are freely spewing jet fuel fumes into the terminals’ air intakes?? Looking at just two of the emissions that jets and cigarettes have in common shows how ridiculous this is. According to the Surgeon Generals' 1986 Report on Environmental Tobacco Smoke, a cigarette puts out a total of 3 mg of nitrogen oxide (NO) and 40 mg of carbon monoxide (CO). The 1995 EPA study on airplane emissions cites a single 747 takeoff/landing at about 115 pounds of NO and 32 pounds of CO. That's 52 million mg of NO and 14 million mg of CO if you do the math. Doing a bit more math for a typical 500 takeoffs/landings per day shows us that the nice clean smokefree air being pumped into those terminals has the CO equivalent of over 160 million cigarettes and the NO of Eight and a Half BILLION cigarettes. All of which is being shwooshed right into the lungs of travelers who are supposedly receiving a "dangerous dose" from a few cigarettes being puffed in secluded and sealed off terminal areas and bars. This would be funny if it weren’t so sad. Michael J. McFadden [JR: It is interesting what people see as their "rights". ] |

From: Fay, John C. (1986) John, Hello from Dublin. I know I've been out of the loop for a good while. I don't have a good excuse, unfortunately. Just lazy. Anyway, I thought I'd let you know that your link to your resume is missing the file extension (.html). When I clicked on that link I got the HTML code in text format rather than a web page. http://reinke.home.att.net/data/networking I was interested in your tips because I'm just beginning the process of rethinking what I'm doing and where I'm going in my career. I've allowed things to drift a little too long. I work for myself and basically by myself full time, but I don't really think that's for me. Or at least, the type of work I'm doing combined with my solo operation is not right. I need to force myself to make changes. I'm not afraid of change, but I'm a little murky about how best to approach this. That's why I'm keen to read tips from those who've been there and done that, etc. Still reading weekly, even if my contributions have been lacking. John F. === Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 3:16 PM Well hello to the old sod, > lazy Well I have be operating the sausage grinder, making sausage into pigs, just waiting for you. >missing dot html Works for me. I suspect that you might have taken an error in bringing the page back to your browser. A reload should show you a good display. If it is persistent, you may want to try it from a differnet browser. I have IE, Opera, and Firefox all on every machine I use. Some pages will render fine in one but not another. Or I can email it to you. >drifting Ahh, the fatal mistake. Even if you are "rowing" to the wrong destination, then you can always change course. When you drifting, think Niagra Falls. As you probably know, ever since my first go to the turkey farm, I have counseled out-of-work execs. You know the ones on the wrong side of forty, who have dated tech knowledge, that were drifting along fat, dumb, and happy. Then WHAMMM. Like the deer in the headlights, the proverbial Mack truck hit them. So I tell people that even if you're happy with where you are, you can't become complacent. Stuff happens. Businesses change. Ownership changes. Markets change. Tastes change. Loyalties change. Values change. Change changes. (Always accelerates; never slows.) And if you ain't changing, then you is dead meat just waiting for the Mack truck. My advice to anyone who will listen is invest in yourself, trust your self, develop your skills, and find your alternatives. Not that you are going to change jobs, but you must have plans. Financial plans. Personal plans. Professional plans. Family plans. Even if you don't think you'll ever change jobs, I tell people, that they should wake up on the first Saturday morning of each month, and after going to First Saturday Mass, think about what happens if you were fired yesterday at Close Of Business. How's your finances? Where's your roledex? What should you do next? I literally have seen grown men blanch at even the thought of being "out". For any youngsters that will listen, I preach education AND a skill. The model for my generation was you went ot a big company (T, IBM, GM, Sears), worked till you were 65, and retired with a good pension and social security. That worked for my Mom, my uncles, and others. I was lucky in that I have received several wake ups along the way. T paid me a year to leave. FB paid me to leave and I started my own business. MER paid me off. DTT paid me off. So I have had lots of practice. And I KNOW there is no loyalty any more. But, that model is broken for us now and future generations. (I have a friend at IBM who is trying desperately to hand on for another 7 years. I wish him luck. But, I think he is being overly optomistic. Maybe he'll be lucky.) We've become a nation of 5 year employees, for pension vesting, and consultants. I have four pensions when I turn 65. (Hey, I can play any game. You don't even have to tell me the rules. I'll figure it out. And, tell all my friends.) My experiences have led me to be a saver. Luckily, I have always had skills and the ability to sell them. Not everyone is so blessed. I know a peer who was out of work after being cut by company for 4 years. Lost his house. And, his health. His wife had to go to work to support them. I know I could retire tomorrow and live off my earnings from Jasper Jottings, modestly supplemented by my savings. Wouldn't want to, but could. I tell my nieces and nephews that they need an education, practical skills, and an entrepreneurial flair. I urge them to open their own businesses. But they don't listen. No sympathy from me will be forthcoming when they get the Mack truck treatment. I did a business plan for my niece that showed she could earn about 15k a year from a home-based craft business in her spare time. It would have required hard work, tech inovation, and attention to detail. Her answer was "only 15k". I went nuts inside. I pointed out that she would then have numerous alternatives to "monetizing the value proposition". (The current internet speak for cashing out, passing GO, or robbing the bank!) Teach other people to do it for a royalty. Expand from your craft that you do to other crafts that others do. Sell the concept to Ebay. You get the idea. As some non-christian religion guest speaker said to my class at the college, "awareness comes before enlightenment". In my mind, awareness all to often comes from a swift kick in the butt. Perhaps my tips can make you aware before the swift kick comes along, John'68

From: Reinke's Networking Persona V2Y2 R0N2 7RHJ 6Y Hi AUJ, Hangin in. Job is tough. Have to elbow my way in I think. Progression is in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone wants to be the CEO. Can be the CEO. Or, should be the CEO. I would reframe the discussion about "value". You have to add more value than you cost. Trees, climbing the corporate ladder, senior versus junior, entry level, are all IMHO old pair of dimes, paradigms, old ways of thinking about the world. The new way is entrepreneurial. You gather some stuff (i.e., assets, resources, and people) and you transform input into valuable output via processes. A hierarchy, a tree, needs to be made into wood chips. Flattened. Leveled. What is the value proposition? Focus on what value you can create and don't worry about the "progression" discussion. Anyone asks about "level" or "senior" or such, launch into your value speech. For example, "Advance Tech", who cares what the magic box can do, we care about what does it enable, what is the value proposition surrounding its use, who cares if it is the "best" widget, what does it enable. Does it minimize assets, resources, or people required to deliver value to our Customers? {Note always upper case} Networking has to be done aggressively. I tried to never let referrals, when I am in "out" status as opposed to "in" status, age more than a day or two. I scheduled them as just below an interview in priority level. <extraneous deleted> Did you read Lucht's book? It's a great roadmap to stuff like this. Best wishes, [JR: I sanitized this since I didn't have the individual's permission to identify him or her. But, I thought it would be useful to other lurkers out there. From time to time, I have covered this topic a lot. Here's yet another installment of what frau describes as my "overpowering of people on a topic I feel strongly about". Like that's a surprise to this readership. Please take it for what it is worth. I am available for "private consultations", as well as wakes and weddings. But I don't do windows or tricks.]

Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 2:37 PM Ahoy "<privacy invoked>" who are you? I don't recognize the email address, so we need to do a little conversing before I can admit you. John'68 === From: Malvey, Thomas J. (1969) I just received an e-mail saying my request to join this Yahoo group was denied. ?? I graduated in 1969 from the School of Arts and Science, major in Economics. I was an editor of the Jasper Journal, vice president of Phi Rho Pi (Rudy Giuliani's fraternity), founding editor of "The Greek Letter", member of the Economics Club and the Gaelic Society. === Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 11:17 AM Hi fellow Jasper Malvey, Yup, I couldn't identify who you were. I just had the email address, other facts, but not your name. I sent you an email asking for that and when I received no response I pushed the "trap door" button. Spamers, MLMers, and other ne'er-do-wells try to "infiltrate" yahoo groups because it is a target rich environment. I do my best to keep it for the purposes that I created it for. Now that I know positively who you you are, I'll resend an invite ASAP and admit you at once. Sorry I have to be petty, but if I don't "recognize" who it is, then they don't get in. After you see that you have access to about 50 to 75 other alums, you'll realize why I stick to the "no strangers" rule. I have seen to many good yahoo groups spin, crash, and burn from intruders. I am sorry for the inconvenience, John '68 === From: Malvey, Thomas J. (1969) Thank you. My sister Mary also graduated from Manhattan. When we attended only a few women, mostly nuns, were students. I exhausted the Italian courses at Manhattan (Professor Cantatore) and took several at Mt. St Vincent - different world back then. [JR: Yup very different. Sigh! ]

=== <begin quote> ===
|
President Bush's call to allow Americans to take a portion of the money they pay as Social Security taxes to set up private retirement accounts has to be a good idea. Why? The more of what a person earns that's in his pocket and under his control, the better off he will be. At a later date, when the details of the president's plans are known, I'll address the various reform plans under debate. For now, let's look at some of the gross political deceit, lies and unkept promises that have become a part of Social Security. Here's what a 1936 government Social Security pamphlet said: "After the first 3 years -- that is to say, beginning in 1940 -- you will pay, and your employer will pay, 1.5 cents for each dollar you earn, up to $3,000 a year. ... Beginning in 1943, you will pay 2 cents, and so will your employer, for every dollar you earn for the next 3 years. ... And finally, beginning in 1949, twelve years from now, you and your employer will each pay 3 cents on each dollar you earn, up to $3,000 a year. ... That is the most you will ever pay." Had Congress lived up to those promises, where $3,000 was the maximum earnings subject to Social Security tax, controlling for inflation, today's $50,000-a-year wage earner would pay about $700 in Social Security taxes, as opposed to the more than $3,000 that he pays today. The next big lie is from the same Social Security pamphlet: "Beginning November 24, 1936, the United States government will set up a Social Security account for you. ... The checks will come to you as a right." First, there's no Social Security account containing your money, but more importantly, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on two occasions that Americans have no legal right to Social Security payments. In Helvering v. Davis (1937), the court held that Social Security was not an insurance program, saying, "The proceeds of both (employee and employer) taxes are to be paid into the Treasury like internal-revenue taxes generally, and are not earmarked in any way." In a later decision, Flemming v. Nestor (1960), the court said, "To engraft upon Social Security system a concept of 'accrued property rights' would deprive it of the flexibility and boldness in adjustment to ever-changing conditions which it demands ... " That flexibility and boldness mean Congress can constitutionally cut benefits, raise retirement age, raise Social Security taxes and do anything it wishes, including eliminating payments. If a private retirement company reneged on its promises, we could take it to court. If Congress reneges on its promises, there's no judicial course of action whatsoever. Vital to any Ponzi scheme, like Social Security, is the ability to recruit as many suckers as possible. <extraneous deleted> Isn't that great? These are the same politicians who are now resisting President Bush's call to allow Americans to take a part of their Social Security taxes to put into private retirement accounts. If they'd go to bat for those 5 million workers to remain out of Social Security, to avoid the adverse impact of lower rates of return and lost flexibility, why would they fight to deny tens of millions of workers a right to use a portion of their taxes to do the same? |

Well, I would disagree slightly with Professor Walter, in that, if an insurance company did what the Gummaminute did, then we’d be seeing executives being led of to jail. But, when politicians do it, nothing happens. They get their fat pensions and we get stuck with the bills. When a con man runs a Ponzi on some one, we yell “sucker”. When the politician does it, we yell “taxpayer” and reelect the thief. Yes, THIEF, because they are stealing our hopes and dreams of a better tomorrow. And in the process robbing us of our birthrights as the children of the Dead Old White Guys, the pioneers, and the Creators of the Great American Experiment. Were I doing the Final Judgment, I’d reserve a special seat by the fire for these thieves. |
IMHO!
And that’s the last word.
