http://evelynrodriguez.typepad.com/crossroads_dispatches/2005/04/throw_more_pots.html Throw More Pots In their book Art and Fear, authors David Bayles and Ted Orland tell a story that illustrates how lowered expectations encourage the repetition necessary for creative skill development. A ceramics teacher divided a class of novice students into two groups. One group was told that their final mark would be based completely on the number of pots they produced. More pots, higher grade. The other group was told that they would be graded purely on their ability to produce one perfect pot. The perhaps not-so-surprising outcome was that the best-quality pots were all produced by those who made the largest quantity of pots - those who, without attachment to the result, had set out to make as many pots as possible. They had learned how to make better and better pots. It seems that even when we are not deliberately trying to do so, we inevitably learn from our mistakes. Slowly it begun to
sink in: I had to be willing to keep at it, to learn from the doing. If I
wanted to learn how to write or paint or do any form of creative work, I had
to be willing to do it over and over again, even if the results were not what
I wanted. - The freedom and spaciousness allowed by "simply start - it's alright to do over...again and again" process yields the treasured pot. And not the paralyzing tension of "it must be perfect and innovative." There's a lesson here for business. ==== And, of course, there must be a lesson here for us as well. We only have one life. We have to use our talents wisely. Everyone has exactly the same 60 minutes in every hour. We don’t know if we have even the next minute, hour, day, week, month, year, decade, or eons. Someone once told me that if you are doing the right thing then you’d change nothing if you found out that tomorrow was the last day. If you’re not doing the right thing, then why are you doing it. Sigh. So maybe our “pots” are our days and as we get older we do better. I’m not so sure of that. So let’s all raise our expectations for ourselves and lower our expectations for others. I’ll try to do more and better. And, I hope that each of you do exactly what you intend. |
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Rocky Mountain News ( Dr. Stephen Cardos had some good breaks to make up for the bad ones when he was a kid. And he has spent most of his adult life paying back what was done for him. Cardos, 61, is the Minoru Yasui Community Volunteer Service Award winner for May, earning the honor named after the late community activist. This is his biography
in a nutshell - Cardos
is a pediatrician who was applying for a job in A car dealer made him a deal. "The man said pay me when you get the money," Cardos said. "I thought these people must be really So Cardos bought the car and settled in, opening a one-man practice that has grown to six doctors. When he's not practicing medicine, he's doing good in other ways. Cardos was instrumental in founding Almost Home, a shelter that helps the homeless and others who need a boost. He also served on When he saw a need, he'd gather some people, and they'd organize what needed to be done. "He was the mobilizer to make things happen," said Terry Moore,
director of Almost Home. " Almost Home started in a church basement. The need grew to include a food bank. Then Cardos helped get a 120-unit housing complex built. Almost Home helps people with rental assistance and transitional housing. "It's kind of a payback for my childhood," Cardos said. Cardos' father died when he was 7. His mom worked minimum-wage jobs to support her children. She remarried, but her second husband died. So she raised his three kids, too. "When we were young, we were poor. Local church groups would bring us turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas," Cardos said. "I was so appreciative. I always thought I would be paying those turkeys back, giving back to the community." He had asthma as a kid and was treated by two doctors who impressed him so much he decided he wanted to be like them. Cardos
went to school on scholarships - private high school, When he became a
doctor, he owed the government some service. So he enlisted in the Air Force
and served in "I'm blessed to do what I do, and to be able to do what I do," Cardos said. "I receive more than I give." LOAD-DATE: [MCalumDB: 1966 ] [JR: Wow. I’m embarrassed at how little I’ve accomplished when compared to this fellow. ] |

http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2005/052005/05282005/101917/printer_friendly Local young people offer up perspectives
on religion There are several reasons why Jonathan Watson doesn't go to church. He cites the Catholic sex-abuse scandal. Plus, he says people can be spiritual without joining a particular religious organization. Then, there's his desire for tangible evidence that there's one correct path. "Basically, I'm more of a practical person who needs proof," Watson said. "They say it's more of a leap of faith, and I couldn't make that leap." The 26-year-old Fredericksburg resident and engineer is among a sizable number of young adults professing an interest in spirituality, but not necessarily in organized religion, according to a couple of recent surveys. The studies by UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute and Reboot, a Jewish networking group, focused on college-age young people and how they see life's mysteries with and without participating in a religious institution. Watson, who was raised Catholic and went to Mass on a regular basis, was about 16 when he started wondering about the purpose of life and religion? At the time, a priest who served in his
home Hoping to find some spiritual answers,
Watson enrolled in He took three religion classes where he learned about Islam, Buddhism, Judaism and other religions. Watson said he believed in various aspects of each faith and concluded that all shared the same principles just different stories. That's when he decided to stop going to church. "I figured out spirituality is more of a state of mind," he said. "You can be spiritual in the sense of forming your own basis of thought and feelings toward other people and the human environment instead of going methodically to a church, synagogue or temple." College can be a crucial stage for many
individuals who are either holding onto their faith or questioning their
beliefs, said the Rev. Rhonda Nash, interim campus minister for the Baptist
Student Union at the Nash, who graduated from Mary Washington 26 years ago, said participating in the Baptist Union as a student was instrumental in her call to the ministry. Now, she helps those who are seeking a higher power. "I do believe this generation is one very interested in seeking spirituality whether they fall into that [survey] category or belong to a faith community," she said. Nash has also noticed that many students view their church "as a place of service" and are active in community ministries "as a way of living out their spirituality." Alex Engel, a rising senior at Mary Washington, said he understands why students would view themselves as spiritual instead of religious. "With religion it tells you how you need to react and approach certain things in life," he said. But spirituality allows an individual to rethink how one lives their life without being tied to a specific faith, he said. The 21-year-old Emily Taylor, a recent Mary Washington graduate, said people who say they are spiritual but not religious are somewhat misrepresenting their beliefs. The 22-year-old "Being Jewish to me is not about believing in everything in the Torah or not believing in the teachings of other religions," she said. Religion is "about spending time with family and friends and about remembering your heritage and culture." Others find strength in practicing their
faith. Vanessa Lantis, a 24-year-old "When you pray with other people with such strong faith, you can feel the love radiate from them," she said. "Knowing that something greater than you is watching over you makes life's problems a lot easier." -------------- Forwarded Message: -------------- From: Google Alerts <googlealerts-noreply= - ( a T ) - =google.com> Subject: Google Alert - "manhattan college" -"marymount manhattan college" -"borough of manhattan college" Date: Local young people offer up perspectives on religion The Free Lance-Star - ... sexual

The Though I've yet to see
the movie - it opens nationwide tomorrow - I suspect the remake of "The
Longest Yard" features more (Chris) Rock than rock pile. Adam Sandler as an NFL quarterback-turned-convict? Not a whole
lot of verite in that cinema. (At least Burt
Reynolds, who had Sandler's role in the original
film, played some college ball at So let me tell you about a real prison football team, just so you'll know the difference. Let me tell you about the team they had at Sing Sing from 1931 to '35. The Black Sheep, they called themselves. Prisons in that period
were just emerging from the Dark Ages, the era of corporal punishment and No
Talking Allowed and - the ultimate symbol - striped uniforms. Sing Sing, just north of The cells in the Old Block were 3 feet, 3 inches wide, 6 feet, 7 inches high and 7 feet long - "no bigger than a dead man's grave," in the words of one occupant. They had no windows and no plumbing (only "night buckets," which the inmates would empty each morning into an open sewer). A prison doctor described the environment thusly: "The walls are thick stone, which makes these cells look as if they have been hollowed out of solid rock. A prisoner confined to one of them for the first time invariably suffers an impression of crushing weight, closing in from all sides. Originally, the only light came from a series of small windows in the outer wall across the galleries from the cells, but some years ago this wretched condition was improved by cutting several large windows in the outer wall." Mercifully, wardens in the 1930s were moving away from the concept of all-punishment-all-the-time and toward the idea of rehabilitation. One of the many ways Sing Sing's enlightened leader, Lewis Lawes, tried to bring this about was by forming athletic teams that would play games against outside clubs. Through healthy competition, he figured, the prisoner "learns the necessity of rules, or laws, and cooperation with his fellows. He learns to subordinate his own desires to the good of the whole team, and learns, too, that he must play the game to win. He develops a sense of proportion and values and finds that there is no royal road, or loafer's route, by which a big score can be made." Tim Mara, owner of the
"Not only is my
name That said, Law claimed
to be "astonished" at how coachable the
players were. And talk about tough! One team member had lost three fingers in
a shop accident, but the coach hoped to have him available by midseason.
"Three fingers don't mean much to a good player," he said. "I
knew a lad who played with Sing Sing's games were nothing like the inmates vs. guards bloodfest in the first (and presumably second) "Longest Yard." In fact, they were probably as cleanly contested as any in the country. The prisoners knew they had to be on their best behavior; otherwise, teams wouldn't want to play them. (Visiting clubs, meanwhile, minded their manners lest they incur the wrath of 2,000 convicts.) In many respects, they
were just like any other football games - except for the 20-foot walls and
guards with machine guns. Indeed, the Visitors were frisked as they entered the prison and had to pass through several security checkpoints before reaching the field. (Their exit was almost as painstaking, so worried was Lawes that one of his prisoners would escape.) Once inside, though, fans could buy hot dogs at the inmate-run refreshment stand, laugh at the home team's zany mascot (a pony painted with black and white prisoner's stripes to resemble a zebra), root along with the Sing Sing cheerleaders and be entertained by the ever-clever musical selections of the prison band - such as the Bing Crosby song, "Just One More Chance": I've learned the meaning of repentance. Now you're the jury at my trial. I know that I should serve my sentence. Still, I'm hoping all the while You'll give me ... Just one more chance. Julius Freedman, the Marv Albert of Sing Sing, did the
play-by-play of the games on the prison radio station. His listeners were
largely those laid up in the hospital - or awaiting their fate on Death Row.
A.J. Liebling, then a young reporter for the "Here comes Jim Egan, a great fellow. He replaces Moe Bernstein. No, wait a minute, he replaces Winkie Winkle. No, friends, sorry, I've got it wrong; he replaces - well, anyway, he is a great fellow." Sing Sing's games received surprisingly thorough coverage in the newspapers, at least in the beginning, before the novelty wore off. Sportswriters tended to type their stories with tongues planted in cheeks. The Times correspondent pointed out that the prisoners seemed particularly inspired in the opening quarter of one contest because "the prison gate lay in the direction of the goal they won on the [coin] toss." Another dispatch, in a not-so-veiled reference to Sing Sing's Hot Seat, began, "The Big House eleven electrified its cheering section of 2,300 inmates by ... defeating the visitors, the Poughkeepsie All-Stars, 18 to 6." Yet another recounted a strange scene just before the kickoff: A "gray-clad convict" was standing before the inmate grandstand with a megaphone, calling out a series of numbers. What on earth was he doing, an opposing player wondered, announcing the team's signals to the entire prison? "No," the player was informed, "he's calling out the numbers of men who have visitors out in the waiting room." Headline writers had their
fun, too, coming up with gems like "Sing Sing
Chisels Righteous Path to 20 to 0 Victory" and "Cop Team Fails to
Shear Wool of Black Sheep." Truth be known, though, the Sing Sing club was pretty good. It won many more games than it
lost against the likes of the Port Jervis policemen, the Danbury Trojans, the
One who did, two-sport
star Edwin " At first, baseball wasn't going to let Pitts, a convicted robber, into its noble ranks. Finally, commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, guardian of the game's honor, relented - but not before there was a lengthy public discussion about crime and forgiveness, about what was and wasn't owed a convict after he'd paid his debt to society. That was the thing
overlooked amid all the jokes about the "Galloping Cons of Sing Sing." The prisoners weren't just battling local
athletic clubs or semipro teams, they were battling
reactionary forces - such as "Jails were never meant for pity and learning but for punishment and justice," Kavanagh said in an op-ed piece for the Times. "All things which encourage mental and moral improvement are proper, but is moral improvement attained when a burglar rolls a college boy around in the mud at a football game?" Warden Lawes found baseball's treatment of Pitts lamentable but hardly surprising. "The public now has before it a vivid picture of what a man faces when he leaves prison," he wrote in the same newspaper. "If an individual is to be denied employment only because he is a former prisoner ... what incentive is offered those men to prepare for a law-abiding life?" The eye-for-an-eye crowd ultimately prevailed over the Sermon on the Mount contingent. In 1936, the state commissioner of correction, Edward P. Mulrooney, issued an order forbidding the charging of admission to prison events. This effectively killed Sing Sing football because the team depended on the dollar it received from each paying customer to buy equipment and cover the travel expenses of visiting clubs. (During the '33 season, the Black Sheep reportedly cleared a profit of $4,527.) Somebody should make a
movie about that sometime, the true story of an actual prison football team.
Alas, this isn't how Lawes anticipated as much all those years ago. "I knew," he said, "that some of our guests [at the games] - gentlemen of the press and others - would find here and there an inspiration for a comic strip." And so we have "The Longest Yard," warmed over. LOAD-DATE: |

defends 'ambush' In an online
play-by-play account with photos, a Each awkward moment was documented, from his unwelcome entry into the building, to his walk-in on a class being held by board President Bernadette Dunne, to the agitated efforts to get him out. For blogger Hezi Aris, the conclusion was clear — Dunne was holding her "That is absolutely incorrect. It is a figment of his imagination," said spokeswoman Jerilynne Fierstein yesterday. Fierstein
said the class was a special event so the "It's a wonderful opportunity and I know lots of universities around here that do that," Fierstein said. In Wednesday's incident, Aris refused to leave the building and dismissed threats to call police. He took a series of unflattering photos of Board of Education officials as they discussed how to deal with him. The whole incident was quickly posted on YonkersTribune.com and generated a flurry of responses, mostly expressing outrage at the Board of Education and praise for Aris' coverage. The incident highlighted the sometimes unconventional tactics bloggers use to obtain and present their information. As blogs continue to grow in the world of news and gossip, some critics worry about their independence, their unbridled text and the lack of oversight from a superior. Aris, though, said he has clear standards of conduct. "I don't answer to an individual," he said, "but I do compose myself as far as I'm concerned to the highest degree of decorum and follow a strong ethical code." Fierstein disputed that. She heaped criticism on Aris for entering the building under false pretenses by claiming he was in Dunne's class, and for being "rude." She said he did not ask district officials about the class and did not check whether it was a sanctioned activity. Aris said he was only doing his job. "It's a public building, No. 1. I didn't threaten anybody," he said. A constant presence at City Hall meetings, Aris has generally been a respectful and nonchalant reporter. "I view him and have come to know him as being a passionate man and someone who is extremely principled," said Councilwoman Dee Barbato. Some city officials have grumbled about his Web site and the often harsh reader comments, and have gone so far as to bar his Web site from City Hall computers — though Mayor Phil Amicone said employees are not permitted to view any Web sites unrelated to their work duties. In his work, Aris seems to take on the role of both reporter and activist, though he denies the latter. Asked about the conflict at the Board of Education, though, he admonished the board for not demanding rent. "We want to see payment," he said. "They can't afford to give it away and, maybe, that's advocacy." -------------- Forwarded Message: -------------- From: Google Alerts <googlealerts-noreply= - ( a T ) - =google.com> Subject: Google Alert - "manhattan college" -"marymount manhattan college" -"borough of manhattan college" Date: Blogger defends 'ambush' The Journal News.com -

From: June Trizzino [1975] This article was in
the "Ask Mr. KnowItAll" column of
the "What's the origin of baseball's seventh-inning stretch? The most colorful theory credits our twenty-seventh president, William Howard Taft. Legend has it that in 1910, the 300-pound chief executive was watching a ball game (and presumably ingesting large quantities of peanuts and Cracker Jack) when he began to feel constrained by his cramped wooden chair and stood up to stretch. The crowd, thinking Taft was leaving the stadium, rose out of deference. A few minutes later, Taft sat down. The crowd sat down too. And voila! - a sporting tradition was born. Perhaps. It seems the
first known reference to the seventh-inning stretch actually comes much
earlier: In an 1869 letter, Some baseball
historians attribute the custom to Brother Jasper, the first coach of Either way, it seems the Taft story is a bunch of hooey. On the other hand, the one about Taft getting stuck in a presidential bathtub and needing the head butler to pull him out? That one is true. A.J. Jacobs, Author of The Know-It-All" Have a safe holiday weekend. June Trizzino - '75 [JR: Thanks for a unique file. ] |

I wanted to expose your finding. So...I threw up a site on some other personal spare space. Can you try these three links and report results? To view the obit, you need that adobe viewer which is pretty standard stuff. Thanks, = From: JasperJottingsEditorial= - ( a T ) - =yahoogroups.com On
Behalf Of Mike McEneney Dear The home page looks great and was a quick download. We are back at the Beach and are on dial up again. I waited a few minutes for the Obit to download but had to give up. I do have the adobe stuff on this computer. I will try again tomorrow. Best, Mike [JR: Thanks, Mike. Those pages appear to work. I will continue to use this as an "overflow" technique. I am seriously considering moveing to a new hosting vendor that will literally gives us 20x times the space at a lower cost. ] |

Sender Information: Not sure what is the right address for a reply to JJ. Just to let you know people are reading and fulfilling requests - I followed the links in your e-mail in the last JJ and they all worked fine for me. I read JJ through my e-mail program - MS Entourage on a Mac. Our brother, Jasper King had quite an interesting and impressive life! Thanks for all you do with JJ. mt === Hi Mike, Email received. For Jottings, you can use the way you did. I just push it over to the correct email box. Actually reinke= - ( a T ) - =jottings.com or JXYMXU7SN5HO9D= - ( a T ) - =comcast.net or reinkefj= - ( a T ) - =alum.manhattan.edu or Distribute_Jasper_Jottings-owner= - ( a T ) - =yahoogroups.com are really all equivalent. All of them actually self-sort into the correct email id. ;-) Thanks for the report. I am going to use that site as overflow for the odds and ends that are relatively large (since I am running out of space on the site where jottings is hosted). I have used it in the past but I "Front Paged" it so it was "ugly" to use or update. I am coming to a nexus with Jottings with respect to the space and pictures. Using Kodak Gallery for pics seems to work OK; ugly but ok enough for our purposes. . Space is the paradox. If I continue at the rate I am going in a month or two, I will have to decide (1) trim old content; (2) buy more space; or (3) rehost elsewhere to get more for the same cost. It was good of Mike to clip it. I tried to OCR it but the error rate was too high. It was just to good to not use it some way. I'm glad that you were able to read it. Ain't tech grand? .... ... when it works. Thanks really should go to the readers for reading else it'd be a dead end hobby. I'm just a glorified xerox machine. ;-) |

It is fitting that
Herman Agoyo comes from In his 70 years, Agoyo has been a star athlete, fought to go to college rather than vocational school and been a spiritual leader who brought his pueblo toward self-determination. He was recently chosen
by the Agoyo
also spearheaded placement in "One of the main
factors in his selection, is that he lives his
traditions," said Wayne Mitchell, of "It's easy to talk about traditions but harder to live them," Mitchell said. "Herman is a lead singer, a dancer, a storyteller, an individual who passes on the traditions." The first recipient of the award was Danny Lopez, a Tohono O'odham who worked for decades to preserve his tribe's culture and language. Agoyo
was nominated by George Blue Spruce Jr., of Surprise, a member of the Heard
Board of Trustees and also a Blue Spruce said Agoyo worked throughout his life to improve the plight of his tribe, promoting economic and social self-sufficiency. "He was always
the person in a leadership role for all the pueblos and became nationally known
for his involvement dealing with Congress. He put Agoyo
was born He remembers the freedom of growing up in the pueblo. "We would go to the river, go swimming, fishing, horseback riding," Agoyo said. He played a game with a ball made of deer hide and sticks of black willow bent like hockey sticks and painted in the colors of either the Summer People or Winter People. "It was intended to bless the homes, the people, the fields," Agoyo said. "The object was to break the ball on your field, so it would bless your family." Agoyo and his friends would catch hummingbirds and sell them for a nickel apiece to elders who would use their feathers for traditional ceremonies. He attended the "He was always a fantastic athlete," Blue Spruce said. And he continues in his 70s, winning medals in the senior Olympics, and continuing to lead traditional dances. Agoyo
earned an athletic scholarship and then a bachelor's degree from He served on the Eight
Northern Indian Pueblos Council, the All Indian Pueblo Council, as governor
of the He helped start a Head
Start program, a crafts cooperative, and the "I don't like to downplay any tribal leader of member who hasn't had a post-secondary education," Blue Spruce said. "But because Herman had a college degree, it was the key to open doors and assume meaningful leadership roles." Agoyo's
latest passion has been the placement of a statue of Popé
in National Statuary Hall in While attending the
first inauguration of President Bush, Agoyo found
that He began a fight to have a statue of Popé, carved by Jemez Pueblo artist Clifford Fragua, installed as the state's second contribution. "It took six years to sell the idea," Agoyo said. "I guess it's the inability to hear the word 'no.' " Popé

http://www.hebookservice.com/BookPage.asp?prod_cd=C6663&sour_cd=HAE042901 21-year-old columnist
explains: How mainstream acceptance of pornography is destroying his
generation -- and our nation ===<begin quote>=== Pornography: it's
everywhere -- at the video shop, in your newspaper, in your inbox. And although
American society grows increasingly accepting of this state of affairs, porn
is unmistakably dangerous: it presents a warped image of sex and
self-satisfaction that ridicules the values of faith and family, mangling the
most sacred ideals of matrimony. In Porn Generation, Ben Shapiro explains
why. This book is about a generation of Americans lost in a maelstrom of
moral relativism in a culture obsessed with cheap, degraded, casual sex. It's
a powerful wake-up call outlining what we must do now to eradicate this
scourge and reclaim the values that made Shapiro, a 21-year-old orthodox Jew, syndicated columnist, and Harvard Law student, knows up close about the hypersexualization of American youth -- which has taken hold to a degree that astonishes even their Baby Boomer parents, despite the fact that their liberal attitudes toward sex caused it all. In this book he demonstrates that as societal standards and traditional values have declined, and the crassest elements of sexual deviancy and pornography have taken over the public square, it is the Americans of his own generation who have paid the price. Never in our country's history has a generation been so empowered, so wealthy, so privileged -- and yet so empty. He shows that legalized and all-pervasive porn is by no means trivial or marginal: it's an integral part of a sustained program by the forces of relativism, radical feminism, and nihilism to destroy our nation's moral foundations and replace moral standards with the idol of personal fulfillment. Porn Generation reveals: Why the "live and let live" societal model is a recipe for societal disaster -- and why the sanctioning and encouraging of immoral behavior by society hurts all of us How revisionist historians sold the cockamamie idea that obscenity is a right that the Founding Fathers sought to protect Ill-considered sex ed programs that teach nine-year-olds about condom use, push twelve-year-olds to make decisions about their sexual orientation, and expect fifteen-year-olds to be as sexually experienced as prostitutes How today's sex ed establishment is unalterably committed to amoral ideas of permissiveness and "tolerance" for all sorts of deviant behaviors Proof: non-abstinence-only education programs have been a massive failure <extraneous deleted> How Nudity on film: how it has become difficult to tell the difference between call girls and movie starlets The limitless sexual license of the porn generation: how it has led to pandemic spiritual desensitization, emotional alienation, and lack of commitment How liberals have
undemocratically imposed their amorality on Kinsey: how this secret pervert and sex maniac successfully convinced millions of Americans that almost everyone was a secret pervert and sex maniac <extraneous deleted> Why <extraneous deleted> How The Oscars: Play a gay man, receive an Oscar nomination. Play a lesbian, receive an Oscar nomination. Make a film celebrating homosexuality, receive an Oscar nomination "What's the big deal? President Clinton did it": how Slick Willie's widely publicized misbehavior -- and sleazy self-justification -- have contributed to widespread acceptance of oral sex among American youth Whore with a microphone: how the slutty pop star Madonna has used her fame to push a destructive message of societal amorality <extraneous deleted> But this anything-goes credo is killing us: corrupting our youth, fragmenting our families, and weakening our society. It is not right that children are dunked headfirst into the vat of garbage we call popular culture. If we don't fight back now, our culture will surely continue to disintegrate. Shapiro includes here a series of solid recommendations for how we can recover our values -- and why we must. Porn Generation: it's a vivid and shocking insider's report from one very troubled generation to the rest of us. ===<end quote>=== Sex sells. And sells. And sells. But not to me. I seek to exact a price on those entities that seek to or do drag us down. I won’t buy a Toshiba anything ‘cause they stole our propellers and sold them to our enemies. I’ll never pay to see a Jane Fonda movie because of what she did to us. Boycott French products, yup. Buy American, if I can. Shop at WalMart, occasionally. Believe politicians, never. |
And that’s the last word.
