I’m not going to gripe about how the victim disarmament fanatics lead us to this disaster. I’m not even gonna kvetch about the politicians are using this tragedy for their own purposes. I am going to say a quiet prayer for all those parents, and loved ones, whose lives are destroyed by this senseless act of a delusional person. I am going to reflect on the astonishing example of the Amish community who went and consoled their attacker’s family. That’s living your beliefs. Do we measure up? I know I don’t. Maybe you do.

JNEWS: A Rudy interview that’s interesting http://hughhewitt.townhall.com/g/ Rudy Re: Rosie: “I Never Thought Of Her As An Engineering
Expert” ***Begin Quote*** HH: Let me play for you a little Rosie O’Donnell on 9/11 looking back. RG: (laughing) HH: Have you heard this clip yet, Mayor? Have you heard her talking… RG: I don’t know. HH: Let’s play Rosie O’Donnell from a couple of weeks ago. RO’D: I do believe that for the first time in history,
that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics for the
World Trade Center Tower 7, Building 7, which collapsed in on itself, it is impossible for a building to fall the way it
fell without explosives being involved. HH: What do you make of that, Mayor? RG: I just never thought of her as like an engineering expert, but you’d have to go back to the people who studied that. And World Trade Center 7, if I recall correctly, came down around 4 or 5 o’clock in the afternoon. And my partner, Mike Hess, who was then my Corporation Counsel, was one of the last two people to get out of World Trade Center 7. He almost died there. And I was in a building that was pelted by…what really happened is World Trade Center 1 and 2 bombarded World Trade Center 7. And I was in a building next to World Trade Center 7, and we were trapped in that building for 20 minutes, and that building took a considerable amount of building. HH: But what do you make of public people… RG: It was a little further away, so… HH: What do you make of public people firing up this nutter conspiracy theory? Does that injure our understanding of what we’re in? RG: Well, I’ve always thought that conspiracy theories, and I’ve heard all the wild ones, you know, I’ve been subjected sometimes overseas, sometimes here, you know, kind of really wild ones. I won’t even repeat them, they’re so wild. I’ve always been very clear on September 11, and I don’t know why we have to have conspiracy theories, when we know who did it. (laughing) You know, we know that these 19 people took those airplanes and flew them into buildings in order to kill innocent people. They’re the ones responsible for it. None of this would have happened unless they did that. Everybody else, you know, everybody else involved, and it was doing the very best they could to save as many lives as possible. Some did it effectively, some didn’t do it as effectively, but they were all trying, you know? This idea of going back and trying to figure out what did the Bush administration know, what did the Clinton administration know in order to blame people is really unfortunate. If either anybody in the Bush administration or the Clinton administration had known about September 11, I think they would have done everything they could to stop it. What we do is, we just…when we do that, we displace the responsibility where it belongs. ***End Quote*** {JR: I don’t want to do “all Rudy all the time”. But this seemed interesting to me.} {JR: Note: I went to injineering school and, unlike Rosie, I wouldn’t think of opining on what is basically a complicated issue of “strength of materials” and “structural engineering”. If the experts that I trust say it went down due to the planes, then any conspiracy wacko has a high standard to impeach those experts. I don’t believe any story by anyone but you have to take experts at their word. Not politicians; real experts.} {JR: How DO you tell when a politician is lying? … } |

MNEWS:$1 MILLION DEFAULT PREVENTION GRANT US States News ***Begin Quote*** The New York State Higher Education Services Corporation issued the following news release: The New York State Higher Education Services Corp. (HESC) will award $1 million to 29 schools to help prevent student loan defaults, HESC President James C. Ross announced today. The grants, ranging from $4,800 to almost $50,000, will be awarded to competitively selected colleges and universities for their proposals designed to identify risks that contribute to student loan default and to develop and implement new programs which have the best potential to significantly reduce the dollar amount of defaulted loans. “The U.S. Department of Education encourages continued efforts to ? reduce default, minimize the volume of dollars that go into default each year, and prevent student borrowers from the individual tragedy of loan default,” said Mark Walsh, Acting Director of Default Prevention and Management at the U.S. Department of Education. “As many schools point to a lack of the necessary resources as an obstacle to engaging in proactive default prevention activities, the availability of grants enables more schools to become involved in this important work,” continued Walsh. “HESC is pleased to award these competitive grants
acknowledging the U.S. Education Department’s focus on default prevention and
to improve financial literacy among students across “The 54 default prevention proposals HESC received demonstrate the dedication of financial aid administrators as they help their students manage their student loans,” Ross continued. “The winning proposals represent the most innovative approaches to this difficult problem.” For example, The campus, located near the Ft. Drum Army base, has many military students in the population who are typically highly mobile and with whom losing touch is fairly common. Workshops and counseling will be targeted to these students and their families. Additionally, the proposal will link the workshops to a credit-bearing course, Personal Finance, to increase the number of students exposed to formalized instruction in personal financial management. The grant winners are: {Extraneous Deleted} {Extraneous Deleted} Grant recipients will be expected to report their progress after six months, with a final report due to HESC by March 26, 2008. HESC is the nation’s largest in-state student loan guaranty agency and provides more grant and scholarship money to college students than any other state in the nation. The state agency guaranteed nearly $7 billion in new and consolidated student loans in state fiscal year 2005-06 and provided $865 million through the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) to nearly 395,000 students in academic year 2005-06. HESC administers New York’s 529 College Savings Program, a nationally-acclaimed program which boasts more than $6 billion in assets, and also handles more than 25 state and federal grants and scholarships. HESC also provides training and technical services to financial aid administrators, high school counselors, and lenders. Contact: Ronald S. Kermani, LOAD-DATE: April 14, 2007 ***End Quote*** |

I personally think abortion is immoral in a number of different value systems, including mine. BUT I would never legislate anything on the topic. I would leave it to good people making tough decisions in a supportive environment. That’s a far cry from what we have here.

From: Darren Johnson [1997] John: My name is Darren Johnson and I am an alum of MC, '97. I have been using the blind address provided by the school for the past few years and in the last week or so have lost the ability to get mail forwarded from it. I saw some postings that you had written about a problem with the @alum.manhattan.edu email addresses in the past. Would you happen to know a POC at the school to talk to regarding this? I have emailed a few folks at the alumni office, but got no response. Thanks in advance- Darren ----1---- From: "Reinke's Jasper (mc68alum) Persona" Hi Darren, I'm not exactly sure if you are referring to an alum (@alum.manhattan.edu) or a student (.student@mahattan .edu) email address. (I think alum, but not sure. Probably alum but I never ASSuME any thing! Some times student addresses are left operational due to an oversight.) If you're referring to the @alum, I don't know what the current status of the offering. I know that at one time they actually gave alumni email service, then it was both service and forwarding, then it was just forwarding. I'm not a good test case because I have an account in conjunction with a committee that I participate on. Yup, I have several people who just LOVE to hear from me. Especially in my unofficial role of alumni ombudsman (Omm can we find out how to bund this loud mouth once and for all?) I have BCCed all my "buddies" at the College. Depending upon who sober, working, and / or who has nothing better to do, I'm sure one of them will "volunteer" to help solve this problem. What it will cost me in abuse I have no idea? So to sum up, and please correct me if I am wrong, your xxxxxxxx@alum.manhattan.edu or something like that has stopped forwarding? OK, ladies and gents on the bcc list, how does this get "fixed"? Fjohn68 cc: jasperjottings p.s., to speed things along, i tried to ping him via the mcALUMdb, (it feels like a directory issue) and got this back: *** begin quote *** The original message was received at Thu, 19 Apr 2007 11:24:19 -0400 from mailgate2.iac.alumlink.com [207.54.139.5] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- (reason: 550 5.1.1 User unknown) ----2---- From: Darren Johnson John: Thanks for the quick reply.
