Dear Jaspers,
705 are active on the Distribute site.
This month, we had 121 views on 9/23 and 5,123 over the last month. I happened to check Google and Yahoo search and both are returning Jasper Jottings in the first page of results.

=========================================================
In a prior issue, I inadvertently “collected” something that one reader took issue with me including in the distribution. So, to prevent that from happening in the future, I’m instituting two new RULES:
(1) Anything sent to me that is NOT for publication must be marked “NOT FOR PUBLICATION” in the subject line and the first line of the message.
(2) Anything sent to “distribute-jasper-jottings at yahoo.com” or my “jasper jottings” email address (JXYMXU7SN5HO9D at Comcast.net) is ASSUMED to be for distribution.
I apologize for any trouble that I have caused. If anything makes me quit this hobby, it’s this type of reaction.

http://news-info.wustl.edu/news/page/normal/5785.html Byrnes to retire as dean of engineering on June 30, 2006 Sept. 21, 2005 — Christopher I. Byrnes, Ph.D., dean of the School of Engineering & Applied Science and the Edward H. and Florence G. Skinner Professor in Systems Science and Mathematics, has announced his intention to retire as dean after 15 years in the position, effective June 30, 2006, according to Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton. "Chris Byrnes has made lasting contributions to the
School of Engineering & Applied Science, "He has broadened the awareness of the school's academic prowess and strengthened ties with alumni and friends everywhere he goes. He has done so with his trademark enthusiasm, wit, sincerity and commitment. He has been a tireless advocate for the university as a whole and worked very effectively to build resources for important academic initiatives. "Chris is responsible for leading one of our most important and successful efforts associated with the founding of the Department of Biomedical Engineering," continued Wrighton. "Further, Chris has made remarkable progress in faculty recruiting while also maintaining an exceptionally productive and high-quality research program of his own." In announcing his plans to step down, Byrnes said, "I could not be more proud of the faculty and students in the School of Engineering & Applied Science, and I am grateful for the generous support of alumni, parents and friends who have contributed to the success of this program." The chancellor will soon appoint an advisory committee to recommend successors. Byrnes will continue as a faculty member of the School of Engineering & Applied Science. He will have a sabbatical leave for the academic year 2006-07. Byrnes, who became dean of the engineering school on July 1, 1991, oversees approximately 1,100 undergraduate students, 750 graduate students and 85 faculty members. He joined the faculty as professor of systems and control and chair of the Department of Systems Science and Mathematics in 1989. Byrnes is only the eighth dean the School of Engineering & Applied Science has had since 1870 and the third longest in tenure. He succeeded James S. McKelvey, Ph.D., senior professor of chemical engineering, who was dean from 1964 to 1991. As dean, Byrnes has ushered in many innovations and strengthened ties and activities with alumni. Undergraduate applications climbed from 1,400 in 1994 to nearly 3,400 in 2005, at a time of declining national enrollments in engineering. The school has developed an internationally recognized
research program in networking and telecommunications and started a very
popular and highly renowned Department of Biomedical Engineering in 1997. In
2000, the interdisciplinary Environmental Engineering Science Program was started at In 1993, the UMSL/Washington University Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program was begun. At the time, the innovative program was the only known partnership between a public and private university to offer an undergraduate engineering degree to nontraditional students who are place-bound. The joint program appeals to a broad range of students who normally would not pursue engineering for lack of time and/or resources. Byrnes' field is systems science and control. Among his research interests are feedback design in automatic control, nonlinear dynamics and control, and estimation and filtering. He has applied his research over two decades in aerospace, electrical power systems, signal processing and speech synthesis, among other areas. Byrnes is a native of He joined the Byrnes was awarded an honorary doctor of
technology by In 2001, Byrnes was installed as

Observer-Dispatch ( UTICA- Two days after a physically challenging win over
defending state champion New Hartford, the "I don't think that we played our game today,"
said "Our legs were a little heavy," Palladino said. "Some of it was from a hard-fought effort from the other night." Notre Dame (1-3, 4-3) was also affected by the physical condition of its players. The Jugglers were missing three players, including starting forward Pete Durr who has a leg injury. Notre Dame coach Greg Sacco expected to also be without leading scorer Angelo Reina who has been bothered by leg and back injuries. But the junior forward, who leads the team with 14 goals and four assists, was in the lockerroom and ready to play when Sacco arrived. Creedon scored the game winner against New Hartford with 2-minutes, 30 seconds to play. He didn't need that long against Notre Dame. Creedon scored his first goal about 1:45 into the game and the second one with about eight minutes to play in the first half to give him five this season. Creedon set up the goals by relying on his dribbling skills to control the ball close to the Notre Dame net. "He has very good possession," Debraggio said of Creedon.
"His second goal was excellent. He controls the ball well and keeps it
in possession."/p.Creedon's second goal came
about one minute after Notre Dame's Angelo Reina
just missed tying the game at 1-1. Reina had the
ball about 20 yards out on the wing to the left of the "I thought it was over," said Reina of his shot. "It dropped down." Reina, a junior forward,
continues the line of talented players from a well known
Notre Dame soccer family. Reina's oldest sister, The youngest Reina, Dana, is a member of the Jugglers' girls team, and was named to the all-tournament team after Notre Dame defeated host Dolgeville for the tournament championship. Like his sisters before him, Angelo's place on the field
needs to be accounted for at every moment. Reina's skills aren't limited to
scoring, and Reina had a good look at the net
on his first shot of the game with just under 14:00 to play. He got past
three or four "He's just an excellent player," Debraggio said.

in In tonight's opener, the Lions will square off against the red-hot Golden Hurricanes of Tulsa, a dominant team that has recorded nine wins, five of which were shutouts, against only two losses. Understanding the difficulty of facing an opponent she calls "very tough," Holmes is looking for her team to gain "more great experience." In the two games to be played on Saturday, the Lions face two teams that have both struggled to post victories this season. Host Loyola Chicago has yet to win a match in seven games this season. Holmes concedes that Loyola is struggling right now, but insists that the team will bring a strong and athletic lineup to what she believes will be a great matchup. The Light Blue will then take on "They're going to want to avenge that loss," Holmes said. "We're both really looking forward to playing each other." Weekend tournaments such as this one in "I'm very excited about this weekend," Holmes said. "We actually have the opportunity to build on more success." LOAD-DATE: September 16, 2005 |

From: Mike McEneney [1953] Dear This article has an interesting quote from Otto Obermaier, Esq. '57 who is a former US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and is now in private practice.
Best, == NY TIMES Friday, Sept. 16, 2005 p. C1, col. 2 How Long to Jail White-Collar Criminals? By ANDREW ROSS SORKIN On Monday morning, L. Dennis Kozlowski, the former chief executive
of Tyco International, will learn his fate. Mr. Kozlowski, who was convicted of grand larceny, falsifying business
records, securities fraud and other charges, is to be sentenced in New York
State Supreme Court in While recent lengthy sentences for white-collar crimes have been hailed by some as desperately needed deterrents after a deluge of corporate scandals, the sentencing of Mr. Kozlowski, 58, comes at a time when a number of lawyers, including former prosecutors, are questioning whether such sentences are justified. Bernard J. Ebbers, the former chairman of WorldCom who was convicted of masterminding an $11 billion accounting fraud that bankrupted the company, was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Because Mr. Ebbers is 63, some
have contended that the sentence amounts to a life term. Likewise, "You have to ask yourself whether the proof in these
cases warrants such a sentence," said Otto G. Obermaier,
a former Unlike Mr. Ebbers or Mr. Rigas – or indeed most other convicted corporate chiefs, who have been sentenced in the federal court system – Mr. Kozlowski, along with Mark H. Swartz, Tyco's former chief financial officer, who was convicted of the same set of crimes, is being sentenced in a state court. As a result, the judge in the Tyco case, Michael J. Obus, may have more latitude in his sentencing than federal judges, who have a strict set of guidelines to follow. The convictions of Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz also differ markedly from some other recent white-collar cases. While prosecutors are asking that Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz be sentenced to 30 years, Justice Obus has the flexibility to give them as little as one to three years in prison. Depending on the length of the sentence, both men could be incarcerated in a maximum-security prison like No lawyer is suggesting that white-collar criminals not serve time. Rather, lawyers and jurists are asking what the appropriate sentence is for white-collar crimes relative to punishments for other crimes in a post-Enron world. Jonathan Simon, a professor of law at the Noting that he considered Mr. Ebbers's sentence "draconian," he added that "25 years is more than most people would get for rape or a nonaggravated murder." Of course, the main argument for imposing lengthy sentences is that they serve as a powerful warning to other executives not to break the law. After Mr. Ebbers's conviction in July, Alan G. Hevesi, the New York State comptroller and court-appointed lead plaintiff in the WorldCom securities class action, said it was "important to send a strong message with a severe sentence" because of the billions of dollars and thousands of jobs that were lost as a result of the fraud. Yet Professor Simon, for one, said he had doubts about whether an especially long sentence worked as a significantly greater deterrent to potential white-collar criminals than shorter terms. "Deterrence is, in my view, highly contextual," he said. "If you live in a community where young people die all the time from stray bullets – whether they are gang-banging or going to school – it is pretty hard to deter anyone with threats of punishment. "In contrast, white-collar workers are extraordinarily sensitive to threats since their whole socialization and environment encourage calculation of future benefit and cost." Mr. Simon suggested that "it would be far more effective to impose a lot of short sentences on a wider group of offenders rather than the example model of harshly punishing a few celebrity cases while most potential offenders know that they are unlikely ever to be caught and punished." Still, some prosecutors and lawyers suggest that lessons that were supposedly learned during an earlier crackdown on corporate crime in the late 1980's did not stick, in part, because the sentences were too lenient. Michael R. Milken, for instance, was sentenced to three and a half years and served less than two. Lawyers for Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz are expected to stress on Monday how different their cases are from those at Enron, WorldCom and Adelphia, companies all forced to file for bankruptcy protection as a result of the crimes. Tyco never filed for Chapter 11 protection, and its underlying business was relatively unaffected by the crimes despite swings in its stock price. The two Tyco figures were convicted of stealing about $150 million by paying themselves unapproved bonuses and conspiring to keep the thefts secret. In addition to determining a sentence, Justice Obus, is expected to make Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz disgorge the money they stole. Prosecutors may also seek to have them pay hundreds of millions of dollars that they say shareholders lost as a result of the two executives' falsifying business records and hiding other information from investors, as well as millions of dollars in fines. It is unclear whether the judge will rule on how much money shareholders should be reimbursed because no definitive amount was established during the trial. He could decide to hold a hearing to determine the amount or he may leave that to the civil courts, which are overseeing lawsuits against the two men. Lawyers for Mr. Kozlowski and Mr. Swartz declined to comment. A spokeswoman for the ### [JR: Interesting in that one questions the whole concept of “white collar crime”. With all the hubris, I wonder how much gets back to the “little people”. Our taxes fund all this “law enforcement” yet it doesn’t appear to do any good. It would appear to me that “restitution” should be the objective of the judicial system. Punishment does little to benefit those hurt. And, it obviously doesn’t’ deter anyone. ] |

From: Lara, Angel (2002) I will be going to My email address "over there" will be <privacy invoked> Angel Lara [JR: I have added you to the list of the Jaspers for who I pray for a safe return. Please don’t go hunting medals or make any “news” over there. If you have some down time, we all appreciate a sitrep from you. Distributable or not, I’m interested. If there’s anything we can send, then let us know. Be careful what you ask for, us Jasper “injineers” are pretty literal. I’m not sure sending a girl in a box is legal. Tough on the girl too. Keep your head in the game because we all know there’s no reset button. Eons ago, when I was in, we were taught not to let our guard down, anytime, until we were back in the states. I’m sure some of those rules still apply. So no sightseeing or daydreaming. If you run into any of our fellow Jaspers over there, telling them that we’re worried about them. ] |

From: Jack Goll [1968] I noticed a reference to Rev Bruce Ritter I also had him for a theology course He was a great teacher I recall he had some problems later on. Any info on his whereabouts? Jack Goll 1968 [JR: He had some
trouble; the details were never fully made public.
He was forced from public view. He retired to some
ranch somewhere where he died a few years later. The problems were asserted to be sexual with a young man. I never saw
any expose on TV so I assume that there was no smoking gun for proof. He as
far as I know never made any public statement. I was impressed with what he
started Covenant House. I was a contributor until that incident. It really
hurt the effort. Never knew what really happened. Maybe some one else can shed
some light on it. |

At no time was your e-mail address revealed to this user. Hi I missed the 20050918 issue and I hope you just moved to another provider as opposed to something more serious. I've not contacted you before but I thoroughly enjoy your Ezine. Looking forward to many more issues. Joe Oefelein 57E [JR: Hi Joe: Thanks
for the kind words. It went out on schedule by email. The internet gods must
have ate it. The dog ate my homework? It's at http://www.jasperjottings.com/jasperjottings20050918.htm
and, in looking into it, I did notice that I mucked up uploading the index.
This week’s issue didn't show on the index page. But if you understand my naming convention http://www.jasperjottings.com and added this week's issue name
jasperjottings20050918.htm, it would have popped up for you. I'll try to do better in the future. I did last week's
issue, and will be doing this week's, from the road so I'm
not as crisp as when I'm home and in my routine. No
excuses; just explanation. I have attached this week's issue to this
email. Whatever is easiest for you. Thanks for the
question that helped me find the blown index. Enjoy, |

Sunday, September 18, 2005 As New Orleans flooded and whatever civil society the city could lay claim to disintegrated, those left behind needed two things: a powerful will to survive and a gun. Hurricane Katrina might end up being the best friend the Second Amendment ever had. Gun dealers across the country are reporting increased sales. People who saw on television what happens when government can't deliver on the promise of protecting its citizens are buying firearms as an insurance policy against anarchy. That assurance of government-provided security has convinced individual Americans to gradually trade in their unrestrained constitutional right to bear arms. But for days, there was no law in
While the politically correct version of what happened is that desperate people looted stores for food and water, that's only part of the story. Bands of armed hoodlums roamed the city, smashing their way into businesses and homes, carting off jewelry, liquor, televisions and other goods that had nothing to do with survival. People were murdered, raped, stripped of their meager provisions. Those with the best chance of surviving were the ones who had shotguns, rifles and pistols stashed away in closets and drawers. Homeowner After looters poured into a nursing home and carted off the food, water and medicine, administrator Peggy Hoffman told the Associated Press, "we'll have to equip our department heads with guns and teach them how to shoot." Lots of Americans are thinking about shooting lessons today. The tiresome question, "Why does anyone need a gun?" now has its answer. Order can deteriorate in this country to the point where
nothing stands between the law-abiding citizen and the marauding mob except
blue steel. It happened in It will be harder now for the anti-gun lobby to convince Americans to dismantle even more of the Second Amendment. Of course, they'll try to spin this to say that were there no guns to begin with, the looters wouldn't have been armed and dangerous. But thieves, murderers and the rest of the rabble have always been more ingenious at procuring weapons than law-abiding citizens. No amount of gun control laws will keep the dark side of this society from arming itself for evil purposes. To twist the old bumper sticker, Americans will give up their guns when they can be certain all the guns have been pried out of the cold, dead fingers of all the bad guys. Until then, they'll prefer to keep a little heat in the house. Nolan Finley is editorial page editor of The News. Reach

Watch Nolan Finley on "Am I Right," 8:30 p.m. Fridays on == What have the dead old white guys
been telling you? When the mayor gave the evacuation order, the law abiding
militia (that unorganized group of citizens that backs up the police and
politicians with their support) left town. All that was left was the
criminals, the police (but I repeat myself), and the victims. Oh and one or two rugged individualists who stood at the breach.
Perhaps now the meaning of “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the
security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall
not be infringed." is driven home, made crystal clear, and defined per
se. We have the right to defend ourselves. I trust my fellow citizens to
defend the Lest anyone think these dead old white guys were out to lunch. They defined “well regulated” as meaning being able to hit what you aimed at as opposed to burdened with 20,000 laws and regulatons policed by a bunch a government slugs. Having seen some of the stats from police shootouts in terms of shots fired versus hits, one could legitimately question if the police are “well regulated” in the dead old white guys terminology. When we strip away the thin veneer of the civil society,
what we see is pure naked force. Criminals are cowards as evidenced above
when a few shots over their heads dispersed a gang. There is a reason that
criminals avoid houses when people are home. The crime rate in I particularly like the news report of the terrorist who was planning to shoot up an Israeli bus stop and got shot for his trouble. He was very upset because his masters never told him that the victims would shoot back. When We have to take up arms and then care for our fellow citizens. Our politicians and our government can’t protect us. So we have to do it ourselves and our neighbors. I’ll watch my neighbor’s back. So if you’re a criminal coming to my neighborhood, even if you don’t pick my house, you still might not be safe. Remember the new “old wisdom” – better to be judged by twelve than carried by six. Shoot and shovel. Or shoot and drag them back into the house. Or in this case, blame it on the flood! I’m a peaceful type but like the old joke about the mythical Quaker (Quaker hears a noise downstairs, picks up his gun, and investigates. He finds a burgler. He says: “Friend, I mean thee no hard but thou standist where I intend to shoot”). So criminals should not stand where the good guys intend to shoot. |
And that’s the last word.
