http://chrisvids.org/airwaves.html Regardless of how one feels about politics, the Who knows where this will all wind up? I sure don’t. But,
I am convinced that the “Gummamint” ain’t our friend! It ain’t always right.
It rarely tells the truth. Sometimes kills us when convenient like I’m ambivalent about a lot of things. But tonight, I will say and extra prayer for U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Daniel "Nate" Deyarmin. And one more for all the dogfaces in harm’s way at my behest. I still think that every street and every public building should be named for a dead dogface so that we are constantly reminded of the sacrifice and loss of our best people. I hope that all my fellow alums will join me in the Christmas prayer “dona nobis pacem”. |
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and
every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Cultured traveler ... yearning to experience other cultures. At ## http://news.newstimeslive.com/story.php?id=73917&category=Local Cultured traveler DiLillo, standing atop Christina "Homey" DiLillo plans to learn more about different cultures and religions by living in various parts of the world. She spent last year's fall semester in DiLillo grew up taking dance lessons, and they spiked her yearning to experience other cultures. At The style is inspired by African dance, and having a team dedicated to the step dancing at school was groundbreaking for the students involved, DiLillo said. "We broke the color barrier, in terms of dance, at our school," she said. Christina DiLillo taught local women about AIDS prevention
last fall in The dance, combined with her courses on world religions, government and conflict resolution, led her to want to learn more about the places she studied. Her first destination was "I always had a little thing for wanting to go. I've always been drawn to it. I like the idea. Their lifestyle seems so much more raw, real. I liked the dancing and the drumming, the richness of the culture," DiLillo said. So last August it was off to the There were classes in African dance and drumming along with ones in race and identity. Perhaps the most rewarding part of DiLillo's experience, though, was a chance to interact with the native people who live in the outlying areas, called townships. "These are the poor areas where the blacks live, like
the slums here," she said. In Nyanga township, not far from Christina DiLillo looks out at Capetown with a friend. The people there live in wooden huts and speak in both English and a tribal language, Isizhosa, spoken mostly the poverty areas, she said. The Now she is ready to go abroad again. This time her focus has shifted to east Through a program of They will be in Bodh Gaya, a place considered sacred. It attracts pilgrims from all Buddhist cultures because it was there, under the Bodhi tree, that the prince-ascetic Gotama became the fully enlightened Buddha. Even though "we take an academic approach, we live the lifestyle in order to experience it," DiLillo said. Africa, she said, was "a soulful experience,"
and she's expecting much the same feeling once in Even though her time in "The blacks still live in the poor areas. They live the way it was set up under apartheid. The people there are the most friendly I've ever met. The only thing I can compare it to is Southern hospitality, but it's even beyond that. I missed it a lot when I came home. It was amazing," she said. Her college major of peace studies prepares her for specialties like conflict resolution, though eventually she may choose to teach. But before that, "I'd love to do a series of small travels, just to get myself around the world, volunteer. I would like to live in all the different religions and I want to study dancing." DiLillo said she's seriously considering the Peace Corps once she graduates. In the meantime as she prepares for the next three months
in "When I first got to It also helped that both her parents, Irene Mardal, a massage
therapist, and Jim DiLillo, a Realtor, visited her in DiLillo, who has a brother, Tommy, 19, who is a student at NYU, is also close to her grandmother. "I burst with pride at what she has already accomplished at such a young age," said Angela DiLillo. DiLillo admits she's a little worried about the strict
lifestyle that awaits her in "I'm a little nervous about adjusting. I heard the food is very spicy and people get sick the first few days. Then they get used to it," she said. "But I'm excited. I always wanted to try this, but it's really hard to do here. It's like a giant cleansing." ## [JR: When I saw dance, I thought “marymount”. But “peace studies, maybe. And, there is a student in the directory by that name. No mcALUMdb record. But, she may be a graduate. I don’t know but I submit it for your consideration. ] |

Money makes the world go 'round, even in sports Association, which has run the NIT since 1940. # http://www.maysville-online.com/articles/2005/08/22/sports/02money.prt Money makes the world go 'round, even in sports We learn at a tender age just how important money is in our society. In the sports world, we are bombarded constantly with reminders of how money makes the world go 'round. Recently, the National Collegiate Athletics Association spent a whopping $56.5 million to settle a suit filed by the schools that host the National Invitation Tournaments. Following is the AP report: "The NCAA bought the
rights to the pre-season and post-season National Invitation Tournaments in a
settlement that ends a four-year legal fight. In the deal announced
yesterday, the NCAA will pay $56.5 million to the five I have just one question to ask after reading that. What? The NCAA obviously has money to burn and it appears they were burned on this deal. But with the billions the NCAA receives from the television networks, I suppose they figure this was a bargain. Seems to me the NCAA should worry more about important things, like being politically correct about school's mascots and perhaps adding a few more rules to its gargantuan rulebook. Part II -- The Professional World of Sports Let's face facts: Sports is big business and getting bigger and more expensive each and every day. Salaries are escalating while more and more athletes hold out for an even bigger piece of the pie. Is there an end in sight to the greediness? No, of course not. It is now the American way to get as much as you can for as long as you can, as evidenced by the rash of annual holdouts from NFL camps. The holdouts that really tick me off are the ones who already have huge salaries, but want to renegotiate for even more money, such as the overrated Terrell Owens. If I owned the Philadelphia Eagles, I would tell T.O. to hit the road. He is a distraction and a disruption to the team and the Eagles can do just fine without him. Athletes are usually the ones that get blasted in the media for being greedy, but if the owners were not making huge profits they could not afford the exorbitant salaries requested by the athletes. It all comes down to those who pay the high ticket prices to watch these athletes perform. As long as they shell it out, it will continue. Most of us cannot afford to attend professional sporting events; therefore, teams now rely on corporate money for private suites. The bottom line is - going to NBA, NFL and Major League Baseball games on a regular basis is no longer affordable for the average fan. I prefer to watch high school sports because the young people participating are not getting paid; they play because they love the sport and for school pride. For the most part that is true anyway. The reason I say that is because ESPN is beginning to creep into high school athletics by televising powerhouse football and basketball programs. Naturally, if there is an audience and there is a dollar to be made, ESPN will be all over that opportunity. By and large, in Major League Baseball, the teams with the deepest pockets go the deepest in the playoffs, which earn them even more money. So, in the world of sports, just as in real life, the rich get richer and the rest of us, well... We simply try to get by. ## [JR: I think the author misses why the NCAA bought off the NIT – anti-trust. The assertion of a monopoly would bring the whole situation into view. The athletes play for the big schools for “free”. They don’t get educated. Remember that Razorback kid who graduated but couldn’t read. Like government education, this sport monopoly is created by the government. The government funds these publik universities at our expense. Baseball has the minor leagues; football and basketball have the kolloges. I have to laff when I compare the racial mix of a school’s team with that of the student body. Slavery is alive and well just slightly disguised! ] |

What $350 buys you The pursuit of a dream brought them to The TPX Top 96 Baseball Showcase, which is run out of On day one, Sunday, players were tested in skill sessions. They were timed in the 60-yard dash, took batting practice and had their throwing arms evaluated. Catchers were timed on throws to second and pitchers threw 10 pitches off the mound. Day two, Monday, featured controlled scrimmages. Each pitcher threw a half inning and faced six batters. Each batter got three at bats. Coaches came from 20 schools, like Holy Cross, Players were listed in a program book, with a bio, baseball stats, even grade point averages and SAT scores. Coaches paid attention to the GPAs and SATs. Really, they did. There were 138 kids playing ball for two days at Municipal Stadium. At 350 bucks a pop that's more than $48,000 funded by mom and dad. Did they get clipped? That depends on your perspective. One coach said that 25 players, maybe, had the skills to play at the collegiate level. The rest, I guess, were cannon fodder. Seth Martineau came all the way from "Guys who throw 92, 93 they don't need a showcase for someone find them," he reasons. "I throw 80. I mix four pitches, hit my spots, get guys out, but don't look spectacular doing it. For me, this is worth it. I just want to find a place where I can keep playing." One of Martineau's targeted schools is Skidmore. After a
Showcase that was held in Dreams really do live in this game. One local player in the mix was But is Dean merely Bachelor No. 138 in the showcase dating game? Will anyone notice? "I'm asked that all the time by parents," said
Joel Southern, an assistant at "These camps are good, but only if you don't do too many of them," Southern believes. Charlie Long, head coach at North Carolina Wesleyan, Div.
III national champions in 1999 with Long loves the camps. He looks at every video that comes across his desk, "But you can't tell much from a video tape. We sent a coach to look at a pitcher who looked great on video." The trip was a bust. That's why a showcase with dozens of pitchers is a better solution for all. Some kids will make it. Most won't. The camps work, as long as dad understands that he's probably paying for some other kid to get discovered. This is, after all, the stuff dreams are made of.

deposit to: Retreat Reservations, Of course John you would be welcome to observe first hand what a great weekend this should be! Best, [JR: Well I’m not the “retreating” sort. Never did get the idea. Besides, if I take a week end off who’ll do Jottings. And, work? I’m not one of the old rich guys who retire. I’m part of the “working poor”. If I don’t work, I’m poor! I look forward to the reports. ] |

From: Apoldo, Lou (1963) Hi Your passionate consideration of the long-withheld footage
of the A-bomb devastation in I do find it very upsetting however, that the same bleeding heart liberal media that resurrect these claimed "A-bomb attrocities" every August, are the same ones equating the schoolboy pranks played on some Abu Grabe captured terrorists a capital crime, while they suppress showing the barbaric beheadings of westerners by masked Muslim fanatics or the film of Americans jumping out the windows of the flaming WTC towers. Its about time we Americans wake up and stop thinking that
we are in a War on Terrorism. We are
really in a war against fanatical Muslim extremism (Islamo-facism) that plans
to kill anyone who refuses to follow their specific seventh century religious
beliefs. Since it is rare to hear any open
condemnation of these Muslim fanatics by the so-called "moderate" Muslim
believers of this "religion of peace", I suspect that there are a
lot more of these fanatics and their "shadow supporters" in Regards, [JR: Well, I would
never Monday Morning QB. But, I would observe that the concept of a “just war”
requires “proportional response”, “humane treatment”, and absolute honesty. I
would assert that there was so much CYAing, suppressing information, and
apparent collusion, that it is hard to reconstruct who did what to who when.

But the inet is a big place.] http://www.istus.org/istu/news/news.asp?page=1 A Brief Obituary of Frederic L. Lizzi Frederic L. Lizzi, Eng.Sc.D., died peacefully in his home
in Fred was Research Director at Riverside Research Institute since 1984, where he guided and inspired many younger colleagues. His most influential work, and that of which he was proudest, was his development between 1975 and 1982 of a firm theoretical basis for spectrum analysis of ultrasound backscatter. This gave traction to an entire industry of tissue characterization with ultrasound and led to his international recognition as an ultrasound pioneer. He was also a key researcher in ultrasound bioeffects, and developed the first FDA approved HIFU device, which was used to treat glaucoma. His latter years were spent laying the groundwork for integrating therapeutic and diagnostic ultrasound in order to provide more effective treatments. Fred had a special place in his heart for ISTU and greatly
enjoyed his trips to Fred will be remembered as a kind man, generous of spirit, who made everyone feel at ease and brought out the best in his colleagues with his keen intelligence and jolly laugh. ## [JR: And, this too. ] http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/~shira/asa/bubv.html Announcement of a Special Issue and Call for Papers in Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology In memory of Frederic L. Lizzi, Eng. Sc. D., and in celebration of his contributions to the field of medical ultrasound, you are invited to submit a paper for possible publication in a special issue of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology. Dr. Lizzi made contributions to many areas of medical ultrasound including tissue characterization, backscatter models of tissue, high-frequency ophthalmic imaging, high-intensity focused ultrasound, and radiation-force elastography. Thus, we would be pleased to consider a broad range of submissions inspired by and related to these areas of research. The deadline for submissions, which will be strictly enforced, is Dec. 1, 2005. All submitted papers will be subject to the normal peer review process.

http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=3828 The Security Pretext: An Examination of the Growth of
Federal Police Agencies ===<begin quote>=== Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, bureaucrats and special interest groups have been busy repackaging everything from peanut subsidies to steel protectionism under the rubric of "national security." Federal law enforcement agencies have also been expanding their power in the name of combating terrorism, whether or not such expansion has anything to do with enhancing security. One safeguard that exists to prevent such abuse is congressional oversight, but too many members of Congress are too often reluctant to challenge law enforcement officials. For freedom to prevail in the age of terrorism, three things are essential. First, government officials must take a sober look at the potential risk and recognize that there is no reason to panic and act rashly. Second, Congress must stop federal police agencies from acting arbitrarily. Before imposing costly and restrictive security measures that inconvenience thousands of people, police agencies ought to be required to produce cost-benefit analyses. Third, government officials must demonstrate courage
rather than give in to their fears. Radical Islamic terrorists are not the
first enemy that ===<end quote>=== I would suggest that we “help” our government by not going along with ANY infringement of our God-given Constitutionally-recognized rights. That means: (1) Not consenting to any of their silly searches even if it means personal inconvenience. (2) Speaking to our elected representatives forcefully and frequently that such behavior will not be tolerates. AND (3) Contemplating what will be “the straw that breaks the back of our particular camel”. The dead old white guys had the idea of “the consent of the governed”. Do you consent? I don’t |
