LIVE ON 15 MAY 2007 We’re now the equal of Notre Dame or Duke on LinkedIn. Yup, we have our own group on LinkedIn Announcing LinkedInJaspers. Now, you can network with like minded Jaspers on the largest business social networking site. And, like the secret decoder ring, you can “see” Jaspers where others can’t. The badge only displays when looked at by another Jasper. Way kool! So if you haven’t joined yet, and you look at my profile, the badge is invisible. When you do join, and look at my profile, you can see it. Do a search, and scan down a list of names, and you’ll see Jaspers “badged” for easy identification. How snazzy is that? So, if you’re trying to network into Comcast, and you search for “Comcast” when you page through the list, my entry has the badge. There are 5 other Jaspers here, but you won’t see them until they join. BUT, it does tell you that you have a potential ally and info source inside the “enemy camp”. You can also see all the Jaspers on LinkedIn and connect to them easily. No invites, pass a note, or spin a prayer wheel. You have access to your fellow alums. AND -- as if that wasn’t enough,
as the telemarketers say – you can automatically drop over to the LinkedInJaspers website which is a fully functional Yahoo
Group. I think that this can be an extremely valuable tool to Jaspers seeking to connect in the business world. There is an online Frequently Asked Questions FAQ at: http://jxymxu7sn5ho9d.wordpress.com/about/linkedinjaspers-faq-version-1/ (Dear Brother Jasper! Am I getting excited? The first innovation in a while. If you need some one to blame, blame MikeMcE. He encouraged me! It’s not my fault. He made me do it.) Of course, as always, I am open to your suggestions. This was made possible financially by MikeMcE53 and myself. Beta testing was done by EdMcE59, Paul Dolan82, and MikeMcE53. Of course, all the plumbing was done by yours truly. If the sink backs up, remember I was a EEE! NOTE: If you have questions, please reread the FAQ. If the question was NOT answered, then email the question to LINKEDINJASPERS at reinke dot cc. I will answer them as fast as I can. There’s only one of me. Questions sent to the wrong box will get answered, but I am giving the correct box a higher priority. I’ve preloaded what I can, it’s untested, and as such please be patient if you need a manual intervention. Remember I have a real job. |

Anyone that wants to attend should register very soon. Grace Feeney in the Alumni office needs a head count A.S.A.P.!

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/business/ May 6, 2007 ***Begin Quote*** I’M a pretty good baseball player and a really terrible guitarist. What I’ve learned from baseball has had a great impact on the kind of manager I’ve become, but it was the guitar that landed me my first technical job. We lived in Brooklyn when I was a kid, but I spent a lot
of time visiting my grandparents in the When I was about 10, my family moved to Delmar, just
outside Like lots of kids, I wanted to be a professional ball player. I drove my mom crazy — I’d be tossing a ball up and down when I was watching TV, or I’d be hitting pink Spaldeens against her walls. But I’d promised my dad, who died when I was 16, that I
would go to college. So I went to My younger brother, meanwhile, was a brilliant guitarist, and he taught me to play. I was never any good, but he’d let me sit in with his band once in a while. I took a job on Wall Street when I graduated in 1969, hoping they’d put me in a training program of some kind. But they relegated me to back-office chores, and I was bored. I left a few months later and found a couple of semi-pro leagues to play in. It was only then that I realized how much mobility I’d lost to that skiing accident, and gave up the idea of a baseball career for good. I drove a van for the Teamsters for a while, even worked some as a lifeguard. But I’d gotten married, and it was time to get serious. So I applied for a job at what was then the computer division of RCA. The interviewer asked if I played a musical instrument, and I said yes. He said that people with a musical mind usually make for good systems engineers, and he hired me. I guess I’m lucky that he never asked me if I played it well. I’d always thought of myself as a sales and marketing person, and I was astounded to discover I loved systems engineering. I was also pretty good at making presentations, and the sales people would often ask me to come along on calls. But it seemed so unfair — here I was, making maybe $12,500, the sales reps were making more than $30,000, and I’m the one they counted on to help them sell. I asked my boss to let me switch to sales. I did well and moved up the ranks but, to put it in baseball lingo, I felt like I was constantly getting traded. Less than a year after I joined, Sperry Univac bought my division from RCA. Then, in 1986, we were bought by Burroughs, which soon became Unisys. I haven’t left a job, yet I’m on my third team. After getting traded twice, it seemed time to make a switch on my own. So in late 1991 I accepted an offer from Wang Computer, and was part of the team that took it through bankruptcy and successfully got it out. In late 1999 EMC hired me as chief operating officer, and less than two years later I was chief executive. I keep seeing all kinds of analogies between business and baseball. There’s the need for teamwork, the need to read signals, to assess the other team. And a good leader has to know how to pitch and catch ideas. But the best chief executives are the ones who make sure the right talent is in the right spot, and who know what the competition can hit and what it can’t. So I guess we business chiefs aren’t like baseball players at all. We’re the managers in the dugout. As told to Claudia H. Deutsch. *** AND *** Joseph M.

Public comment is usually heard at the start of the stated meeting, but the board did not allow public comment at the meeting last night. School officials said there was no public comment because the two meetings were held back to back. Pat Puleo, president of the Yonkers Federation of Teachers, said she was disappointed because the union planned to send people to talk about the need for a new contract. The teachers’ contract expires in eight weeks. “I am concerned that there continues to be a lack of communication,” Puleo said. The board is not required by law to allow the public to
speak, said In other school board news, Mayor Phil Amicone is interviewing candidates to fill a vacant position on the nine-member school board. Pagliaroli works for the city as a special assistant to the mayor. Trustees are appointed by the mayor and serve without pay.

around the country, the handful of members distributed buttons and black
armbands, read the names of the soldiers and stopped students on their way to
class to try to recruit them to the campaign to end the war in “You can’t bomb a country on one hand and then say you
want to rebuild it on the other,” said Last semester, Ms. Schwabacher
and Jennifer Weppler attended a lecture at CSI
given by a Marine mother who opposes the war. The two then went to the
protest in Deciding there wasn’t enough action at CSI, the two established the Peace Club. “The Iraqi people need to have a conversation about what
they want their country to look like,” said Ms. Weppler,
a 23-year-old senior from In a few hours scattered throughout the week, their mission was the same: Get the campus community talking. They set up in the grassy patch around CSI’s Sept. 11 memorial, a pair of 10-foot, four-ton steel girders taken from the Towers, one bent by tragedy. Strung around the bushes of the memorial garden were the faces of the men and women killed in war. Photos of combat boots with their names and ages lined the grass. A bell tolled as each name was read. Over the three days they were out there, the Peace Club gathered more than 100 signatures appealing to the government to end the war. They plan to send the petitions to Congress. The Peace Club did what they set out to do this week. A conversation was started on campus with a few students joining the effort and a few debating it. During the protest, William Berkofsky tossed several yellow “Support Our Troops” magnets on the table as petitions were being signed. “You forgot how it feels to be attacked,” shouted the
21-year-old junior, who is studying international business, psychology and

When it was over, they shook hands and agreed it was a useful dialogue. “The thing I push most in class is civic action,” said Harry Cason, a CSI political science professor who has been helping the Peace Club get going. Though not part of his class, Samantha Comanda and Jennifer King heeded Cason’s advice about civic action. The two were eating in the student center with a friend when they were approached by Peace Club members. They left their lunch behind, headed over to the memorial, tied their jackets around their waists and began helping place the photos of the boots on the ground. “I feel like the war has been going on so long it doesn’t
