I'm pushing more "stuff" off to the "back lot". FYI http://jxymxu7sn5ho9d.googlepages.com/ (No sense not using free space for things!) Open to suggestions. I'm thinking about effectiveness and efficiency leading up to the new year. Maybe we need a change? New paradigm, new tools, new thinking? |

Re:Consequence free by the Irish
Folk band I was listening to the Irish Folk music channel. (Hey it gets noisy at work and it helps me focus!) I have to laugh at the line about being "consequence free". Only a young person would imagine that life would allow that. Like, you can have it all! No, you get to make choices and those choices have consequences. Some choices are consequence free. MacDonalds has better fries. More serious, are the career choices. Chose to be an injineer and you are condemned to a rational life. Chose to be Arts guy and you get to debate endlessly how many angles are on that pin. Mutually exclusive. The other problem that we humans have is that you only go around once. No "do over". No finsey. No "oops". Life's not a roulette wheel where you get to bet over and over again. No, us humans are creatures in time with only consequences. Now my more learned fellow alums in the Arts might say we learned that back at MC in one of the ology courses. And, my more learned fellow engineering alums might say we learned that back at MC in the E+MC classes. To wit I reply, I played a lot of bridge and must have skipped that class. I think I was better off fat, dumb, and happy. Enlightenment brings its own consequences. Let's sing along. |

Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in
any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

From: Oefelein, Joseph C.
[MC1957] John It is my sad duty to inform you of the death of my dear cousin Sister Mary Rosaire Buckreis MA-71 Manhattan. == Published in the
Mass of Christian burial celebrating the life of Rosaire Downey, 68, Palm Coast, who died Saturday, Sept.
30, 2006, at her home, will be Wednesday Oct. 4, at 5 p.m. at St. Elizabeth
Ann Seton Catholic Church. Friends who wish may visit Tuesday, Oct. 3 in the
church from 5 to 8 p.m. and Wednesday, Oct. 4 from 4 to 5 p.m. Rosaire was born in ### ---1--- From: Reinke's Jasper (mc68alum) Persona Joe, I am very sorry for your loss, your family's loss, and what all the entire Jasper community has lost. Another Jasper. I'm just an injineer and not good at expressing condolences. What I try to be good at is actions. So, to that end, I have: shipped out an "actionable obit" on the Manhattan College Alumni Yahoo group, notified Ms. Grace at the Alumni Office to add her name to the memorial roll (that will get a whole lot of people praying for her soul), put her on my All Souls prayer card, and put the Obit in next week's Jasper Jottings. Have to review my checklist to see if I missed any possibilities to "action" this sad item. Nope, I think that is all I can do. Like the song "rainy days and Mondays", obits, while a fact of life, always get me down. It's hard to get the wake up call that everyone's time is limited. So, I'll get busy trying to do something meaningful in her memory. An extra act of charity. A prayer with my afternoon (dietetic "I'm gonna be thin some day!) tea. Kind thoughts in your direction. I would have like to have learned from your cousin, she seemed to have a lot of interesting experiences. After all, there is so little one can really "do" in these times. Be like Dylan Thomas, and rage at the "dying of the light". Why do I always think of Rodney Dangerfield recitation of this poem? Nah, I'll go nag some Jasper about Jasper Jottings. And, try to capture their stories, before their light flickers out. Sadly, just an injineer, but
thankful for the email, == Do not go gentle
into that good night, Though wise men at
their end know dark is right, Good men, the last
wave by, crying how bright Wild men who caught
and sang the sun in flight, Grave men, near
death, who see with blinding sight And you, my father,
there on the sad height, ---2--- {MikeMcE reports: Dear John, It appears that Rosaire received her Masters Degree in 1971. May She Rest In Peace, Mike (Thanks, Mike.) } |

brightened up my life," said Ceisler, who knew
Kenny for 20 years after meeting him at Mrs. Filacchione said that, according to an eyewitness, the cars that struck him might have been towncar livery cabs, but the NYPD said it has no firm description of the vehicles.

http://www.onelocalnews.com/prescottherald/ Author does things the old-fashioned way 2006/9 By LARRY McSHANE, Associated Press Writer Fri Sep 29, 3:53 PM ET In longhand. Page after page of penmanship, honed across year after year of Catholic education. Quinn‘s first book, "Banished Children of Eve,"
was set in Civil War-era New York, detailing the ethnic and racial tensions
surrounding the city‘s "Draft Riots." For its follow-up, he set
private eye Fintan Dunne investigating a homicide —
and subsequently the Nazis — in 1930s "Hour of the Cat" is almost two novels: a detective tale with Dunne running between Brooklyn and the Bronx, and a parallel piece played out in Hitler‘s Berlin. No surprise there, as Quinn majored in history at Manhattan College, received his masters in history at Fordham University and along the way became a devoted student of New York‘s past. Quinn, the son of a " "I said to myself, What if, instead of a single murder, what if he stumbled into the biggest murder plot in history?‘" Quinn said. "And then I said, I really can‘t write this without the other plot, which
was taking place in Until his recent retirement, Quinn spent more than two
decades as corporate editorial director for Time Warner — a job that followed
a stint as speechwriter for "He was so much better than people who were reading his speeches — including me — that it had to be difficult for him," Cuomo said. "He‘s one of the most gifted writers I‘ve ever met, and I‘ve met a lot of them." "Hour of the Cat" — the title refers to the
German officers plotting a coup against Adolf Hitler — boasted some big-name
boosters: Pulitzer Prize winners Frank McCourt and William Kennedy, and
veteran "A thriller on the highest level, with the best of good guys and the most thuggish of bad guys," read McCourt‘s rave. The kind words were nice, although Quinn said that was never his motivation in putting pen to paper. "In the end, if you‘re going to write, you‘ve got to write for yourself," he said. "If you‘re writing for the reward, you might not get it." Quinn, while writing his two novels, rose weekdays at 5:30
a.m. and worked for two hours before heading into his "It was just the knowledge that as hard as it was to get up at 5:30 a.m., living with the fact of not having written was harder," Quinn said. "Hour of the Cat" was released in paperback in August, and his publisher was so pleased there‘s already talk of a sequel following Dunne through World War II and beyond. Another book is due out next year: "Looking for Jimmy: A Search for Irish America," a mix of older and unpublished pieces. Quinn said moving between speechwriting and fiction was never a problem during his twin careers. "Don‘t forget," he said, "I was a speechwriter for politicians." # # # {MikeMcE reports: Dear John, I believe that Peter is a member of the Class of 1969. Best, Mike (Thanks, Mike.) } |

In order to qualify for a scholarship, applicants were required to show proof of acceptance and enrollment into an approved health care program at a university, community college or accredited technical college. According to the
Office of Minority Health, there is a nationwide shortage of bilingual and
bicultural professionals in the health care field. Specifically, the shortage
of Spanish-speaking personnel in nursing and other allied health professions,
coupled with the growth of the Latino population in the "Nationwide, many Latinos do not have access to culturally and linguistically appropriate care, and this has a far-reaching effect on their health and quality of life," said Russell Bennett, vice president of Latino Health Solutions at UnitedHealthcare. "Studies show that patients respond better when care instructions are delivered in their own language and their cultural background is taken into account. The academic excellence and passion for helping others exemplified by this year's scholarship winners we feel will make a tremendous impact in serving the health care needs of Latinos." Seventy-five
students across the country as well as from Puerto Rico and the The Freedom Award, established last year, is a $50,000 grant given annually in honor of individuals and organizations that, according to Bennett, "have demonstrated tremendous sacrifice and commitment to make a positive difference in our communities." This year, the Freedom Award winners were selected by a panel of renowned professionals from the health care, educational and publishing fields including: Elena Rios, M.D., president and CEO of The National Hispanic Medical Association and The National Hispanic Health Foundation; Dr. Leobardo Estrada, member of the AARP board of directors; Lupita Colmenero, president of the National Association of Hispanic Publishers and publisher of El Hispano News; Robert Bard, president and CEO of LATINA Style Magazine; Adela Gonzalez, Ph.D., MPA, vice president of Strategic & Institutional Affairs at the University of North Texas Health Science Center; Britt Rios-Ellis, Ph.D., director of the Center for Latino Community Health, Evaluation and Leadership Training at California State University, Long Beach; Xochitl Castaneda, director of the California Mexico Health Initiative, California Policy Research Center at the University of California Office of the President; and Lissette Freire, director, Multicultural Product Management, Ovations. "On behalf of all my colleagues on the Freedom Award selection panel, we were very impressed by the caliber and maturity of all the applicants," said Dr. Elena Rios. "As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we feel gratified that we have made a positive difference in the lives of these deserving youths who are beginning their journey toward realizing their academic and professional aspirations." Since the Latino Health Scholars Program was launched in 2003, more than $550,000 in scholarships has been awarded to deserving students.

The Post-Standard ( If student athletes get drunk and hold initiation parties
in In this digitally connected world of online photo albums and blogs, count on it. William Schut, a 37-year-old in Portland, Ore., started a blog four months ago that has identified photos of students from 40 colleges, including 12 in New York, that he says depict hazing. Schut, while sarcastic and
brash, has gotten results with his blog: www.NCAAhazing.com/. Ask Hank Nuwer, an assistant professor at "His rants have exposed more sports teams and their hazing since May than my reasonable, reasoned arguments and solid journalism have exposed in the last 10 years," Nuwer said. Last month, the State University of New York at "His site sure does point out the ability of a blog today to raise hell and to effect changes," Nuwer said. "Years ago he would have been reduced to writing letters to newspapers that certainly would have fallen short of the influence he's had today." On Sept. 14, Schut took aim at In anticipation of the derivative, tired correspondence
we'll undoubtedly receive from both media and some in the The Ithaca College Policy Manual defines hazing as: subjecting a person to treatment intended to put him/her in a humiliating or disconcerting position, is prohibited, and is cause for disciplinary action. It is not up for debate. Rules are rules, capeesh? Your opinion regarding the definitions of hazing does not matter. This was an initiation. So who is William Schut and why does he care what students are doing thousands of miles away? Schut said he is a private businessman who is about to launch a nonprofit organization that will serve as an NCAA watchdog. He would not name the organization. "We're a bunch of people working in college athletics or involved in athletics that want changes," Schut said. Schut worked for a year at the Schut was not known for a sharp tongue at UNLV, said Jerry Koloskie, senior associate athletic director. "He seemed to be more reserved and a quiet guy, not outspoken about much of anything," Koloskie said. "He's well studied with a very good professional demeanor. I could see him being the kind of guy who would do very well in pres-entations." Schut started his blog May 23,
insisting that the NCAA doesn't care about hazing and naming 30 schools that
he deemed the "dirty 30." Among them were six SUNY schools
including Many of the photos Schut found were on online photo albums sites, such as www.webshots.com Those photos, among millions of others, would have likely remained under the radar, except students added captions such as "rookie night" and "initiation" and included the name of their college and sports team. "It takes five minutes to get on the Internet and find them," Schut said. Ordinarily, college administrators say they don't devote time to browsing online photos to catch their students up to no good. "We don't go looking for this," SUNY Cortland President Erik Bitterbaum said. "It came to our attention because of this one gentleman who takes it on as a life mission." Schut did not hesitate to make
demands of We will continue to systematically post Typical shots on Schut's Web site include students dressing up in silly outfits, writing vulgar words on each other's bodies and drinking shots of liquor out of each other's belly buttons. Most would not fall under the state law that defines hazing as involving substantial risk of physical harm. However, colleges often define hazing as requiring illegal alcohol or drug use, the forced consumption of food or drink or, as Cortland's athletic code puts it, "requiring new members to perform public stunts of buffoonery." So far, local colleges' responses to Schut include: SUNY Cortland announced Sept. 11 it had disciplined its varsity women's lacrosse and women's softball teams and three recreational sports clubs - women's softball, women's rugby and women's lacrosse - for hazing violations. The women's lacrosse and women's softball teams will have some games cut from their regular seasons. Other sanctions included probation and community service. Fourteen recreational sports clubs were put on probation because of alcohol violations. "We want to eliminate some of the myths that students have about hazing," said James Scharfenberger, dean of stu-dent affairs. "Hazing isn't just an issue of forcing someone to do something. We're trying to indicate that it's much more than that." At McAree said the school has started investigating students whom coaches helped identify and will take action if vio-lations are found. Schut said he will shut down his Web site if the NCAA takes action against hazing. Anti-hazing consultant Rick Farnham said he thinks Schut is wrong and the NCAA already works to prevent haz-ing. Farnham is the former athletic
director at the The problem is that hazing is ingrained in the culture, he said. "We see students coming in from high school, junior high and youth groups with a background in this kind of be-havior," Farnham said. Rebecca James can be reached at {privacy invoked} or 607-277-1435. Possible hazing in These schools in

Here's what Yahoo reported to me: ***Begin Quote*** The following person would like to join the Distribute_Jasper_Jottings group: Email address: {privacy invoked} ***End Quote*** Otherwise, I just usually rubber stamp the application and move on. Since it is possible to steal email addresses, insert spam, and otherwise destroy the community, I'm fussy. Some Yahoo Groups have been literally destroyed by bad people doing such and worse. That's why most Yahoo Groups are run as by invitation only. It's amusing because Jasper Jottings is world wide web readable at http://www.jasperjottings.com. All getting into the group does for you is to receive it in your email on a weekly basis. :-) Based on your paternity to a Jasper Dad and a Jasper Uncle, I'd be please to approve your admission. (It really is NOT that exclusive.) Now, what can you tell us about your Dad and Uncle? We'd, I'd, most interested in a biography of both men. Seriously, I enjoy hearing how my fellow alums lives and what they accomplished. See us with few accomplishments and achievements need inspiration. Thanks,

ZFound (Jaspers Found on Ziggs http://www.ziggs.com)Ziggs harvested all the public personal pages as a search engine would. Using their free offering, I have identified ~700 possible Jaspers from it. I'm planning to share 10 "found on Ziggs" Jaspers each week in the coming weeks. The first group moves in this week's issue. I don't like to overwhelm the readership with too much of anything. Besides "harvesting" takes a lot of time. And, these folks thought they could hide from Jasper Jottings! |
