http://www.vestaldesign.com/blog/2006/07/heineken-beer-bricks.html Heineken Beer Bottle Bricks ***Begin Quote*** As the story goes, Heineken was strolling along by the sea
in ***End Quote*** As an injineer, I admire the simple ideas that can do the old pair of dimes (paradigm) shift. For whatever reason, the Universe didn't want poor people to be able to collect the litter and better themselves. But, I am sure that Jaspers can come up with even better ideas. I'm going to try just a little harder. |

The JOHN DAVID "CHIP" HARRIS On Thursday, July 13, 2006, an empty space was left on
earth. Chip was most proud of his family: Kathy, his wife; his
children, Todd, his wife, Kelly and their soon to be born daughter, Ryan;
Poppie and her fiance, Amos; Ryan (deceased); Andrew; Erin and his sister
Debbie and her husband, From the humble beginnings of a one room schoolhouse in Chip graduated Phi Beta Kappa from In addition to his successful law practice, Chip thoroughly enjoyed sharing his expertise and experience with a younger generation as a Professor of Law Adjunct at the Arizona State University College of Law teaching Trial Advocacy. He also accepted an invitation to become a judge for the Town of Paradise Valley where, in court, Chip may have occasionally deviated a bit from the law as it is known to others. Nevertheless, he was loved and admired by defendants, plaintiffs, staff and colleagues because he treated each with the respect and consideration they deserved. Chip also served in the Maricopa County Superior Court system as a Judge Pro Tem since 1988. In this capacity, Chip followed the letter of the law. Included in this position came the privilege of performing marriage ceremonies which Chip did with regularity and great enthusiasm. Chip's list of other professional memberships and honors is lengthy and admirable. As with his professional carrier, Chip was also an overachiever on the golf course, playing to a handicap of 2-at times. He was a student of the game of golf as he was the game of life. Anyone lucky enough to play in his foursome found a genuine friend, mentor and cheerleader. Anyone lucky enough to know Chip knew he played the game of life to its fullest. In his last days, Chip fought his cancer with tenacity, strength and courage maintaining a quiet dignity. Surrounded by his family, Chip died, graduating life with honors. A visitation will be held on Monday, July 17, 2006 from
6:00 - 9:00 P.M., at Brophy Chapel, GRAPHIC: JOHN DAVID "CHIP" HARRIS LOAD-DATE: July 17, 2006 http://pview.findlaw.com/view/2499570_1 {JR: Findlaw reports 1968! } |

The Journal News ( Track and field series offers kids chance to enjoy different events MONTROSE - The scene had to be as pure as any sport gets. A group standing at the starting line to race 50 meters, too young to be sure how far a meter is. "When I blow the whistle, I want you to run as fast as you can," meet director/starter Roy Arnesen said. "Try to run as straight as you can, and at the end you'll get a ribbon." That race, the 5-year-old and under 50 meters, kicked off
the 26th Westchester Summer Twilight Track and Field Series yesterday at No doubt the threat of heavy rain scared some folks away yesterday. There was a wonderful naivete of competition, where the greatest thing was that they didn't know any better: Run from here to that line over there. That's it. This is before the $100 Nike running spikes and showmanship replaces innocence. This before they realize that competing in four or five events in one day isn't that fun. Hen Hud track coach Marcia Bailey, who's been helping Arnesen organize the meet since 1987, encouraged kids to compete in as many events as they could after handing over their $6 entry fee. "Try as many as you want," she'd say to a number of kids. Duane Jackson, 11, competed in the 50-meter dash, the mile and the 100 hurdles, all in about 30 minutes, a feat that would have most adult runners searching for their cell phone to call an ambulance. Jackson, a Buchanan resident, won the hurdles and later competed in the 100 and 400, all on the word of his best friend, Chris Chiffeiller. They went 1-2 in their age group in the 100 and shared a Maurice Greene-Ato Boldon-type post-race hug. "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him," It was "This is awesome," Arnesen started the series in 1982, realizing that at the time there were virtually no local meets for both young and old. "This is to promote the sport to the kids and hopefully they come back," he said. "But it's for us (the older runners) too." orktown track coach Keith Smith has been with Arnesen and
Bailey since 1988. His star, Sean Cuevo, the 2005 100-meter state champ, won
the open 100, wearing a Flash Gordon T-shirt and his "This is nothing like running in college," said
Cuevo, who just finished his freshman year at That was the same idea for 40-year-old David Ryan of Cortlandt. He ran the leadoff leg of the open sprint medley with his wife, Kathleen, brother Sean and nephew Chris. Ryan's son Sean, 8, and daughter Kaitlin, 7, ran in the youth events earlier. "For us, it's a family thing," Ryan said. Most of the youth events were made up of competitors from
the Wings With Eagles track club, in it's ninth year under Nick Mitchell, who
also coaches "(The meets) are character builders and it teaches
discipline," said Mitchell, who competed at Roosevelt and was a
decathlete at {extraneous deleted} LOAD-DATE: July 13, 2006 {MikeMcE reports: I believe that Nick is a member of the Class of 1981. (Thanks, Mike.) } |

Email01 |

From: McGann, Kevin [1989] I got your LinkedIn invitation. Thanks for the connection. Our prior connection was through your Jasper Jottings email. I forget how I first learned about it, but I was getting your Jasper Jottings emails for quite a while. I am not sure I am still getting it so I may have dropped off your list somehow. Background information on me for your LinkedIn: I am a partner at White & Case LLP (one of the world's largest international law firms - nearly 2000 lawyers). I practice in the litigation/intellectual property area with a focus on litigation and counseling. With my background in EE and experience in semiconductors at IBM, I like to focus in the high tech sector, but I work in areas of technology. If you want more information, you can find my very brief bio at: http://www.whitecase.com/kmcgann/ Regards, Kevin X. McGann = From: Reinke's Jasper (mc68alum) Persona Kevin, Any time. All though I am running out of LinkedIn invites. Unlike Gmail invitations, they don’t keep giving you more. Dumb system, but it’s is unique. I’ve been producing it weekly since 1999. I sent you an invite to rejoin. There’s also the last three years online at http://www.jasperjottings.com and there’s a search function. Fascinating stuff where people go and what they do after the
Jasper experience. My best friend Yell if I can be of any help. Fjohn68 {JR: Any Jasper, who is on LinkedIn, is more than welcome to connect to me. I have about 700 contacts. I was after the Alumni Office to "approve" a LinkedIn group, like Duke, Notre Dame, and others. I couldn't do it without them because you have to have official sanction to use the logo. Never was able to pull the teeth necessary to get it done. Sigh! (If I had a wish like Midas, I wouldn't wish for the "golden touch", I'd wish for the power to persuade. With that, you can get whatever you want.) So, look Kevin and me on LinkedIn. } |

I went straight to http://www.hofstra.edu/Academics/HCLAS/Engineering/index_Engineering.cfm You have a tremendous wealth of experience and experiences. Whew! I am currently continuing my pioneering work in developing a multimedia course for Freshman Design at Hofstra. I've been at it for 2 years now, and have taught the course twice (Fall 2005, Sp 2006). I'm spending most of my time this summer developing more course material. Here's some links about me: 1.

I noticed that is one of your main interests. I'm reading Also reading Steven Scott - "Simple Steps to Impossible Dreams" "The Richest Man Who Ever Lived" and will soon receive the "Master Strategies of Super Achievers" DVD Course In a few years (maybe even a few more) I hope to be able to develop a way to make my advances in multimedia course development simpler and easier so that more professors and other visual communicators will adopt it. Well - back to Flash development. Thanks for the invitation again. Ciao, = = = From: Reinke's Jasper (mc68alum) Persona Hi Mauro, Your welcome. Late is no big deal. I have an explanation for all my "new found friends". I am ALMOST embarrassed to admit this. But since I have no pride, common sense, or lots of other things. Here goes. The consensus from two smart people was that the original problem was an email from mysql that cced a ton of people. Evidently, my processes sucked it in, like birds on a runway into a aircraft jet engine, and, poof, unlike the jet engine producing gull burgers, I got a couple of hundred "instant friends". I assume that any Jasper addresses got vacuumed in as well. I love to tinker and automate stuff! So if you don't mind, we'll just pretend it wasn't my stupid mechanization, but something serendipitous. When you get lemons, make lemonade. As you might imagine, I got a ton of email from people saying "huh" like the Aflac duck. If you want to decline the LinkedIn invite, that's fine. I take rejection well. There is a mechanism now to request "de Vulcan Mind Melding". They probably had to mechanize it just for me. If you want to accept, or leave it in play, that's fine as well. Who knows what will come of anything we do? I see myself more as a puppy trying everything, trying to do everything, and just trying to live through technology. Sometimes I'm AM SURE I am a pia, but I wag my "tail" (i.e., my tongue a lot) and people seem to forgive or forget me. Until they need something, then they say who was that crazy whirling dervish! ;-) Just about everything I have is accessible thru my home page, and I blog of course. With Respect To Indexes, but what was your starting salary. I had the unique distinction to have BOTH the lowest graduating index AND the highest starting salary. That's an accomplishment to be proud of imho! I'll review your links at my leisure to see what I can steal. Did you ever play with a visual product called serious magic's visual communicator or some such. I made a demo. I'll see if I can find it and put up an url to it. Oh, have to run, someone just came in asking for help on the "Batline". Yes, I have a special email id, that alerts me in real time when email comes in. All mail on that email account is by definition "urgent". Yes, your's was routed in here as well. ;-) Ahhh, so many things to get into and so little time. Cheers, = = = From: Mauro Caputi >If you want to accept, or leave it in play, that's fine as well. Who I accepted the invitation yesterday. I did notice many new acceptees! >distinction to have BOTH the lowest graduating index AND the highest Yes! I noticed that, and told my wife about it last night. That was an extremely high salary for 1968. The starting ee job salary for 1981 was $22k. I went straight to grad school, so i have no data. But my first asst prof position in 1991 was not much higher than your 1968 starting salary. Woah. >Did you ever play with a visual product called serious magic's visual Yes. I have the pro product. We made some simple talking head Clips with it, with some lower third stuff. I had my dept head Talk about informed design as an expert (which he actually is). >Yell if I can help, THANKS JOHN! Ciao, {JR: Always good to feature the boss as the "talking head". :-) I'll see if I can find and post my demos. Maybe I can do a Jasper Jottings weekly news video? I know I am handsome, but may be there might be a more attractive ALUMNAE to do the talking. So many ideas; so little time! } |

The retreat starts with check in at the Passionate's Retreat House (formerly the Cardinal Spellman Retreat House) in Riverdale at 5 PM followed by dinner, and wraps up with Mass on Sunday at 11 AM. This year we have an interesting line up of speakers, including both the President of Cardinal Spellman High School and the President of Cardinal High School, two well regarded speakers. The weekend is monastic in approach (men only) but all Manhattan Men and their guests are invited. This is a great opportunity for an annual Spiritual check up. Love to see you there!

From: Connors, Jim [JJ] [MC1975] Employed by Columbia Gas System for 35 years. Senior vice president, chief financial officer. {extraneous deleted} home {extraneous deleted} Jim {JR: Thanks, Jim. Your tenure there is one of the long ones in today's marketplace. I think we became a nation of Five Year Employees after the ERISA laws changed. After the "corporate values" changed, I think we then became a nation of temp, consultants, and contractors. Sadly, I'm not so sure those were changes for the better. Many of the turkeys (i.e., out of work old guys), that I counsel, didn't get the memo that the rules had changed. Even those that did, like me, still have attention span problems. Good to hear from you.} |

From: Castellano, Mark A. [LKDN] [MC1988] I saw the piece you wrote about me in Jasper Jottings - thanks very much, I'll let you know if anyone mentions it. BTW, I know Bill Z. fairly well (I used to work him a few years ago) and plan to call on him again soon, but I've lost touch with Bob LaBlanc. I wanted to LinkIn with him and get the ball rolling again (i.e. I have phone #s but no email for him), but I can't seem to find him. Is there a way you send me a link to him so I could ask him to Link? Thanks, Mark {JR: Mark, No

From wikopedia: A shidduch is often begun by a suggestion from close family members, friends or by people (men and women) who have made this process their hobby or even their vocation (a shadchan). A professional shadchan often gets a fee for his/her services. There are variations between communities concerning the agreements between the families of the prospective partners on the couple's future. … … So it's the BIG JASPER AMATUER SHADCHAN, although the wife calls me "a busybody". } |

From: Rudy Giuliani [1965] From the Desk of Rudy Giuliani July 19, 2006 Your gift of $500, $250, $100, $50 or $25 to Solutions America PAC will help us mobilize Republicans across the nation. Dear Friend, As the Mayor of New York City, I saw that putting Republican ideas into action improves peoples’ lives. We cracked down on crime, cleaned up the streets, cut taxes, and reformed welfare – all while turning a $2 billion deficit into a $3 billion surplus. The result was a city transformed into a place of greater civility and economic activity – a more vibrant and safe environment in which to raise children. I learned the virtue of strong Republican leadership when I had the honor of serving President Ronald Reagan in his Justice Department. His optimism helped inspire our nation as he led us to victory over communism. Today, President Bush faces a similar challenge. In the middle of a war on terror, we need to remain focused on furthering Republican ideas more than ever before. We can’t turn back now. That’s why I’ve been traveling across the country to support Republican candidates as we face the 2006 elections. And that’s why I am writing to you personally today to ask you to join with me in helping to unify and strengthen the Republican Party. I formed Solutions America to help Republican candidates
dedicated to finding common sense solutions to the challenges that Your gift of $500, $250, $100, $50 or $25 to Solutions America PAC will help us mobilize Republicans across the nation and provide the essential resources for protecting and strengthening the Republican majorities in the U.S. Congress and electing more Republicans at every level. Please let me hear from you today by clicking on SolutionsAmerica.com so that I can be on the forefront of helping our Republican candidates in these important 2006 elections. Sincerely, P.S. This is
your chance to stand up for what you believe in. Please make your most
generous financial commitment of $500, $250, $100, $50, $35 or $25. Thank you

http://evilnickm.blogspot.com/2006/07/premium.html Monday, July 10, 2006 Premium Its back. Finally. I have sat down, or had thoughts I wanted to put onto e-paper, and for 183,173 reasons I just have not gotten the job done over the last 6 months or so. So, perhaps I will write more regularly again, I certainly would like to. And away we go… This past weekend, Julia (gf) and I ventured down the We arrived in the middle of the day to a near empty
campus. It was almost as if we had called ahead and asked everyone to go
away. We wandered around the dorms, student center, and campus in general. I
went to What I didn’t anticipate was the sense of both accomplishment and like I was walking through a dream. Having spent most of 4 years there, coming back was very much like it didn’t happen but existed only in my mind’s eye. Does that happen to you? Does a place, person, or something else entirely trigger emotions, thoughts, or memories? I walked past Draddy Gymnasium and all those nights of pickup basketball games came back. Hour after hour. The student center brought back memories of those wonderful secrets that were the ingredients of our dinners. The Quad, the 8 trees symbolizing the 8 semesters. All the classrooms and hours of class and the work associated with it. Tests, reading, papers. Did it all really happen? It seemed to flash by in an instant. But thinking of the 120 credits and 4 years I felt a tremendous sense of pride for accomplishing that chapter of my life. But there I was, in a new chapter of my life poking around the past. Two worlds coming together. Julia was very happy to see where I was for school. She got to see all the little things that made up a big part of my life, and seeing how shes a big part of my life now, it was nice for two worlds to come together. {extraneous deleted} # posted by Evil Nick M : 4:35 PM {JR: Had to read the entire blog to uncover the author as Mauro, Nicholas (2003).

Institution in Dr. Sharp, who has been called "the Clausewitz of nonviolent warfare," founded the Albert Einstein Institution in 1983 to promote research, policy studies, and education on the strategic uses of nonviolent struggle in face of dictatorship, war, genocide, and oppression. He holds the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in political
theory from He lived for ten years in Dr. Sharp is the author of various books on nonviolent struggle, power, political problems, dictatorships, and defense policy. His writings have been published in English in several countries and in twenty-seven other languages. These include Norwegian, German, French, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew, Tamil, Burmese, Karen, Thai, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. His The Politics of Nonviolent Action (1973) (Introduction by Thomas C. Schelling) was immediately hailed as a classic and the definitive study of nonviolent struggle. His Making Europe Unconquerable (1985) focused on the
relevance of civilian-based defense for His Civilian-Based Defense: A Post-Military Weapons System
(1990) examined how organized nonviolent noncooperation and defiance can
potentially deter and defeat internal takeovers and invasions. This book was
used in 1991 and 1992 by the new independent governments of A collection of political analyses, Social Power and Political Freedom (1980), included an Introduction by Senator Mark O. Hatfield. Gandhi as a Political Strategist, with Essays on Ethics and Politics (1979) carried an Introduction by Coretta Scott King, and the Indian edition (1999) contained additionally a Foreword by Frederico Mayor, then Director-General of UNESCO. His first book, Gandhi Wields the Weapon of Moral Power (1960) included a Foreword by Albert Einstein. Additionally, he is co-editor of Resistance, Politics, and
the American Struggle for A new book, The Power and Practice of Nonviolent Struggle, is in preparation in English. The earlier edition in Tibetan is being published with a Foreword by the Dalai Lama. Dr. Sharps recent shorter writings include From Dictatorship
to Democracy (English, Burmese, Spanish, Karen, and Indonesian). The Burmese
editions were repeatedly denounced by the Burmese military dictators, and the
Indonesian edition carried a Foreword by Abdurrahman Wahid, now President of
Indonesia. The Spanish translation circulates in Dr. Sharp has in recent years made major efforts to prepare simplified presentations on the nature of nonviolent struggle and its applications against dictatorships. He has conducted workshops and consulted on strategic nonviolent struggle in several crisis situations. He maintains that the major unsolved political problems of our time dictatorship, genocide, war, social oppression, and popular powerlessness require us to rethink politics in order to develop fresh strategies and programs for their resolution. He is convinced that pragmatic, strategically planned, nonviolent struggle can be made highly effective for application in conflicts to lift oppression and as a substitute for violence.

http://www.ncc-1776.org/tle2006/tle376-20060716-07.html ***Begin Quote*** In ***AND*** Meanwhile, in the nation's capital, where private guns have been illegally banned for decades, robberies are up 14 percent, armed assaults have jumped 18 percent in the past 30 days, and two groups of tourists were robbed at gunpoint on the National Mall, just hours after Washington's chief of police declared a "crime emergency" in the city in response to a string of violence that included the Georgetown killing, last Sunday, of British activist Alan Senitt, a volunteer for the potential presidential campaign of former Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner. ***End Quote*** Of course, I am SURE there is no connection! Armed citizens are peace officers. The police represent the citizenry. How many stories do we hear of citizens coming to the aid of the police? We have the example of NOLA after Katrina when all the law abiding people leave town then the police are helpless to maintain order. |
