JASPER HEADQUARTERS: http://www.manhattan.edu/news/news_releases/062207_1.shtml June 22, 2007 RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Dr. George B. Kirsch, professor of history at Manhattan College, is the author of Baseball in Blue and Gray: The National Pastime During the Civil War, and Baseball and Cricket: The Creation of American Team Sports, 1838-72, which were both recently released in paperback. In Baseball in Blue and Gray (2003), published by Princeton University Press, Kirsch examines the growth of baseball during the Civil War (1861-1865) and how the sport’s popularity had everything to do with the surging American nationalism of the period. He recounts stories of great players and introduces entrepreneurs who found new ways to invest in the sport. Kirsch also touches on the exclusion of blacks and shares stories of the rise of sports journalism. Baseball and Cricket (1989), published by “Baseball in Blue and Gray has been a big hit with Civil
War buffs and fans of old-fashioned baseball, and I am very pleased to see
Baseball and Cricket back in print, since it has been recognized as a classic

Dr. Michael Judge, associate professor of biology at The College will receive more than $181,000, including $106,599 from the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, to conduct a study to develop a tool that will improve the long-term survival of fish, shellfish and crabs by allowing resource managers to better determine and manage the amount of nutrients allowed in the open waters of Long Island Sound. The research will look at the different amounts of dissolved oxygen required to sustain juvenile and adult fish and shellfish. The project will draw upon the College’s expertise in
biological sciences and environmental engineering to address the lingering
problem of stressed oxygen levels in Long Island Sound attributable to excess
nitrogen primarily from sewage treatment plants in “The dynamic nature of the tidal flows in Long Island Sound when coupled with the variations in dissolved oxygen levels call for added complexity of fishery models,” says Judge. “We expect to produce biologically realistic water quality criteria by including explicit larval behaviors into our simulations,” Judge says. Among other benefits, the project will improve on the ability to pinpoint and protect important spawning habitat and to tailor nutrient reduction goals to improve propagation of fish and shellfish. The source of the funds is the Dissolved Oxygen
Environmental Benefit Fund for the Western Long Island Sound and “Long Island Sound and In addition to Contributing to the funds for all 12 projects are the

Protection, New York/New Jersey Baykeeper, New York

Kessel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Environmental Power Corporation, were officially named to the ISO New England Board of Directors, effective June 22. They replace board members Mary Sharpe Hayes and Richard A.

that Donald J Pace, '52 died within the last 2 weeks in Thanks, {JR: I scoured the net but could find anything. HELP?!? } # # # # # |
From: John O'Connor [1974] C in C I appreciate your observations. Gave me some things to revisit in my own mind. And the points of difference we both have are not likely ones either of us will ever be able to sway the other from. I will challenge one assertion you make and one alternative, and offer, not as a point of debate, but so you can consider my own thoughts. I believe, purely from a historical perspective (I
couldn’t handle Calculus with Br Andrew Codyre in
freshman engineering, hence my history poli sci degree and my masters in history) that from the War
of 1812 was a change from the founding fathers vision. IMHO the founding fathers always had a
vision of Empire on the North American continent, although I would agree that
in their vision, the continental dominance would have been more than
adequate. From the The Civil War was, I agree, clearly a watershed in the
American political experience, and established the dominance of the central
Federal government over the individual states. I recall (although I would be hard pressed
to find the research citation today) one of my professors in my Masters
program asserting that prior to the Civil War, the correct grammatical
statement was “… the United States are… but that after the Civil War, the
acknowledgement of the primacy of the Federal Government and the unity of the
nation as a single entity led to the phrasing used to this day “.. The On principle, I agree that the balance of central
government with the role of the states is offset far beyond where it was
envisioned. But I also look at the stumblings of the European Union that seems to be trying
to follow that role model that leaves the individual units with dominance,
and the whole EU experiment to me is amusing.
Living in The larger dilemma is what to do now and how to get
there. Spiking the guns and pretending it will all go away? Nice thought, but I doubt seriously that will preserve anything for anyone. We are now up to our 3rd vertebrae in gators, and the late analysis that we should have thought through whether we really even needed to drain the swamp has no bearing on what to do now You are not alone in your statement that you support our troops but would like to see them come home now. There are a number in my closer family who believe the same way. John, I do not doubt for an instant your sincerity in your statement of support. My last point is intended to share on observation from my son, Michael. He is the “rich white Colonel’s kid” as an E-4 Specialist with a reserve Combat engineer outfit just outside the gates of Ramadi. They have been lucky. 2 KIA, and about 8 WIA since last October. He is frustrated with how the war is going, from a grunts perspective. And he is probably 80% certain he will not re-enlist when his reserve hitch is up… unless his unit is called up again, and then he will go with is own “Band of Brothers”. But when he was home in late February on R&R and for his godfather’s wedding, he made a simple observation to his Aunt, who told him how much she supported him, but thought Bush was an idiot and all the troops should come home now, he said quite simply: (and this is my best recreation of his words: Thanks for
supporting me and praying for all of us.
But you know, once the debate started about pulling out and setting a
withdrawal date, the people in the villages, instead of waving at us or just
standing and watching, run and hide, and grab their kids so we can’t toss
them candy or toys or stuff. And it
makes me think. Even if you say you
are supporting me, if you say you want me to leave, it doesn’t make me or any
of our guys happy. But you know, I’ll bet you the hajjis (the GI term for all the locals,
good and bad, at least that’s how Michael uses it) are all happy every time
they hear on al-Jazeera the Congress wants to pull
us out. So you gotta
ask yourself, if what you say is really supporting me, why is it making the
bad guys happier than it is our guys? I have no doubt of most people’s sincerity who claim to support the troops and a pullout at the same time, at least those outside the DC beltway. In my Pentagon tour I spent too much time on Capitol Hill, and my esteem, or lack thereof, for most of them, will never recover. Joe Lieberman is probably the only one right now on any side of the aisle that I could say I fully respect. I believe we are in the first quarter Century of the Hundred Years War of the New Millennium. I have become disenchanted with much of the Bush policies. But in seeking alternatives, I see only worse choices. Given the choice again, I would still vote for Bush over Kerry, Gore, or any of the Democrats who want to be the candidate in 2008. And the crop of Republicans seem no better. No answers, so perhaps this is just a philosophical venting. Even if I feel where we are today is the wrong place with the wrong policies and the wrong political structure, and even if I could define an objective end state, there are authentic obstacles and challenges that must be traversed even if I were to reach that Holy Grail of the ideal state, whether it was a return to confederation and isolationism, or a stronger Federal Government with world empire objectives or whatever other alternative you can imagine. I don’t believe that we cannot get there from here… I just know it ain’t easy. ===== ===== ===== From: John O'Connor [1974] BTW, This was more of a one on one communication. It is not that I object to publishing in the Jottings, but I don’t see that as a forum for debates, and I rthink it might detract from the purpose of the Jottings.

some more. But, as my play time winds down, I think I can answer this one.
