http://www.breitbart.com/article.php? Swiss Deportation Policy Draws Criticism *** begin quote *** The nationalist Swiss People's Party is proposing a deportation policy that anti-racism campaigners say evokes Nazi-era practices. Under the plan, entire families would be expelled if their children are convicted of a violent crime, drug offenses or benefits fraud. *** end quote *** Well, you have to laugh when politicians get it wrong. But there is something to say for familial responsibility. I remember when I was young, my Mom admonishing me that I had to “be good” because people would blame my Mom for my behavior. Frau Reinke’s Mom was equally concerned about “what would the neighbor’s think”. So good behavior was the standard! In today’s location-free culture, no one cares about what the neighbor thinks. No one cares what society thinks. When a pop idol can get up and gyrate (badly) in their underwear on national TV, you have to wonder where it’s all going. Ostracism is one’s ultimate weapon on bad behavior. That, and you can turn off the TV. While I don’t believe in prosecuting “victimless crimes”, it would be nice to change the justice system from “retribution” over to “restitution”. In the example above, maybe the families should have to pay restitution for what their family member breaks. It certainly would be an interesting experiment. I’m sure all my fellow alums wouldn’t want to have to pay for all the stuff I “break”. But there is no rumor of legislation to make alumni responsible for the failings of their fellow alums. Some would say reading Jasper Jottings is punishment enough for the Collector In Chief’s sins. Or was that sines and cosines. Or signs and bumper stickers. Or puns. … |

Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless. "Collector-in-chief" # # # # # |

JNEWS: O’Donnell, Kevin F. (MC1977) http://www.journalinquirer.com/site/printerFriendly.cfm? O’Donnell, Kevin F. (MC1977) ***Begin Quote*** 09/06/2007 MANCHESTER - Kevin F. O’Donnell liked his job as assistant principal of Bristol Central High School a lot, enough so that there was only one other job he would consider: Manchester High School principal. The 30-year Manchester resident, who left Bristol and started as MHS’s new principal a couple of weeks ago, said he saw the job as “an opportunity to serve in the community that I’d chosen to live in.” O’Donnell worked at MHS as a guidance counselor from 1979
to 1989. He grew up in He began teaching primarily in the department of religion
at a Catholic school in the After leaving Manchester O’Donnell was an administrator in the South Windsor and Stafford public schools, and for a couple of years he was the education coordinator at the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford. For the past seven years he was assistant principal of one
of During his time there, MHS is also on the government’s “in need of improvement” list, with large racial and economic achievement gaps and several subgroups falling below proficiency targets, especially in math, this year. O’Donnell arrives as the school is either finishing up or in the midst of several big changes, some easy to see and others not as visible. MHS this summer got itself off the New England Association of Schools and Colleges’ warning list, where it had been for four years, after making several changes that ranged from writing a mission statement to putting more books in the library to constructing the new $35.4 million freshman wing. NEASC evaluates high schools and gives them accreditation. The school is also in the midst of expanding its “proficiency project,” under which teachers have begun measuring students’ performance against set standards for each course. The project also requires teachers to continue working with students on concepts until the students understand them. Besides the new freshman wing, efforts to improve students’ first year of high school include putting them in teams for their core courses for the first time this year and assigning them in small groups to faculty advisors. O’Donnell said he has no plans yet to add any major changes of his own to all these, but will be examining areas of the curriculum to try to improve Connecticut Academic Performance Test scores, as well as preparing for NEASC’s next visit in 2009, which will require a lot of “self-examination.” “I’m really excited about coming back here,” O’Donnell said. ***End Quote*** # # # {MikeMcE reports: Dear # # # # # |

As the Federal government begins to pass regulations for tracking assets, people and shipments of materials into the country, the demand for wireless M2M solutions is growing at an exponential rate.

Prior to eTelemetry, Tarsia was the director of sales and marketing at LRW Digital, Inc., a wireless messaging and security software provider, where he was responsible for the development and execution of all sales, marketing and business development initiatives with an emphasis on the Federal and Department of Defense markets. “As a recognized leader in the wireless M2M market, I’m excited to build on KORE’s proven ability and help respond to the public sector’s demand for secure and reliable wireless M2M networks,” said Tarsia. “I’m looking forward to spearheading this new position to help broaden awareness and adoption of M2M solutions across the government market.” Tarsia has held a number of
sales and marketing management positions throughout his career in the

RE: Michael Hennelly?? I am wondering if any of you out there are aware of the current contact information for Mr. Michael Hennelly (Arts & Sciences 1968 or '69, I think.....). He was my immediate supervisor (Senior Editor to my Assistant Editor) at Plenum Publishing Corporation prior to our absorption by Kluwer Academic Publishers. I've done a Google search but have not found him. Many thanks..... MaryAnn McCarra-Fitzpatrick (Arts & Sciences 1989) {JR: I don’t have anything on him other than the old Plenum address. Sigh. That’s why I push Plaxo and LinkedIn. } {JR: Not on LinkedIn! } # # # # # |

From: Bob Insull [1963] Even your musings (which, as you know from prior responses, sometime infuriate me ) are sought after on this end. As an old psychologist I particularly liked your reference this week to the somewhat forgotten Johari Window which reminds us that things (even ourselves) are not always what they seem. Keep it comin'. Bob Insull '63 S ===== ===== ===== {JR: Hi Bob: Thanks for those kind thoughts. With the all the copies that I send out and make available via different way, I'm always surprised that there's so little -- what I'll call -- participation. Maybe everyone's busy. Maybe that's just me looking through my particular pane of glass that keeps me from seeing value. Betcha didn't know an old injineer would even know about Joe and Harry! When I counsel FOWGs who are out of work, I'm always amazed how "heads down" they can be. Even in today's job market, where networking is vital to continued employment. As far as my rantings, remember that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger. And, the venue is always open for a different view. :-) Even if it's "wrong". :-) So I'm putting you down in the "more of same" category. Thanks for the feedback, fjohn68 } # # # # # |

May He Rest In Peace. Mike ===== ===== ===== From: Mike McEneney [1953] Dear I believe that Ed is a member of the Class of 1949, May He Rest In Peace. Mike [== {JR: Sorry, Mike, Dick beat you in fair and square. Who gets to take off on Saturday anyway? J Yes, I know anyone with a life. Thanks, Dick. Thanks, Mike. I need all the help I can get! } {JR: FWIW, Mike has been heroic in helping me with this “modest effort”. But it’s always good to keep the old Jaspers on their toes with some “youthful” competition. After all it’s not like we don’t have a few empty desks around the old Jasper Jottings Newsroom. It’s important to recognize that without Mike’s help and encouragement I’d have folded this a long time ago. So, thanks Mike. } # # # # # |

From: Sheryl Chung [1996] Hello Mr. Reinke, I had a very important question to inquire from you, Is
the paper accessible to any person that does a google
search or is it privitized for the Thank You, ===== ===== ===== From: Reinke's Jasper (mc68alum) Persona Sheryl: You’re wise to be circumspect about security. Yes, everything in Jasper Jottings is "findable" on the internet. That's why if you notice, I carefully sanitize all email addresses from the "paper" (as you call it). As well as some other information that might give too much away. Since everything in the ezine is publicly available anyway, (That's how I find it in the first place), there really is no security issues. (I was an information security officer in three brokerage houses in my career. So am well versed in the security and privacy issues of doing the alumni ezine.) If you go onto the Yahoo distribution group or the alumni group, which is private and doesn't "leak" out to the net, you can find email addresses. On my unofficial Jasper Jottings steering committee, I have a lawyer, a doctor, a ceo, and an HR type. So, in addition to me, there are a lot of "eyes" looking what we are doing. In fact, you are more likely to have your information exposed by the College (i.e., they have your SSN; I don't) than you are from Jasper Jottings. When they contracted with PlanetAll way back when, I was the first alumni to sign on and had a whole page of "suggestions" from what I found. I also have for the last 5 - 10 years (I forget how long I've been doing it) been serving on the MC Computer Governance Committee and advise Brother President on Information Security issues. So, you're right to be concerned, but I can assure you that it's "ok" (i.e., no added risk). Hope this helps, # # # # # |

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) September 12, 2007 — World Talk Radio, the nations’ largest internet radio carrier serving over two million listeners has announced that starting Monday, September 17th at 7:00PM EST they will carry the award winning “Lawyers Who Needs Them” program featuring hosts Randal Simonetti and James Hartman Esq. The program originated on National Public Radio in Rochester in the early 90s and moved to Rochester’s CBS affiliate WHAM. During that period Simonetti and Hartman received the coveted New York State BAR Association Media Award for broadcast excellence. Simonetti and Hartman provide an informative, entertaining and often irreverent look at the law and those who practice it. The hosts explore the application and implication of the law in everyday life. Their discussions cover a wide range of related topics such as education, business, government, medicine, sports and entertainment. No one is safe from the law or Jim and Randal. Their humorous and out spoken approach to topics keeps listeners laughing and interested. They bring legal concepts down to earth. However, they are relentless and direct when it comes to those who abuse the law or manipulate it for personal gain. The hosts bring over 60 years of combined business, legal and academic experience to the subject and most importantly enjoy helping listeners who call with questions or seek guidance. The program’s rapid fire pace is complimented with visits from famous legal figures like English barristers Sir James Featherweight and Sir Randal Dishwater along with guests ranging from business, government and judicial leaders to some of Hollywood’s most famous actors and actresses. Each week, legal bunglers are eligible to receive the Simon-Hart Award given to people who abuse the legal system or use the law to take advantage of others. “We never know who is going to be on the other end of a call,” says Randal Simonetti. “Our objective is simple; we are there to take the fear and mystery out of our complex system of jurisprudence.” “Make no mistake about it,” explains Jim Hartman, “We challenge those who abuse the system while we advocate for common sense.” Randal Simonetti is the
President and CEO of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for Upstate New
York serving over 12,000 clients and their families. He is also the founder
and CEO of Ignition Consulting, Ltd., a full service management, marketing

JFound: Coppo, Joseph J. Jr. (MC1975 RIP) — A memory of a Jasper lost to us in the 9/11 disaster. http://stillunhinged.blogspot.com/2007/09/still-remembering-joe-coppo.html Coppo, Joseph J. Jr. (MC1975 RIP) ***Begin Quote*** “Two days before he died, my father told me that I should be disciplined, take pride in myself, stand up straight and hold my head up high,” Matt Coppo wrote in a college essay about his father, Joseph J. Coppo, Jr. Matt had been struggling emotionally with his size (he’d stood 6’3” and weighed 240 pounds at the time) when his father gave him this advice. “[H]e told me God had given me a great gift and that I should use it to my full potential.” Matt admitted that he took those words for granted at the time, but they came to his aid during his father’s funeral days later—when Matt towered over almost everyone else and was an easy-to-spot focus. “As I walked down the aisle at the end of [my father’s] service, I realized that everyone was looking straight at me. I tried to appear dignified and brave in the hope that my calm, tall presence would comfort my family and friends and give them the courage to make it through.” Five years ago on September 11, 2001, Joseph J. Coppo, Jr., went to work on the 104th floor of the “He was very demanding, but he was someone you always wanted to work hard for,” said his daughter, Kathleen, who played center field for him on a softball team. Kathleen also relied on her father’s insight and good advice, saying he was “[M]y best friend, the first person I turned to for anything.” Joe Coppo didn’t believe in war and Kathleen, a teacher of social justice at a small Catholic school, seems to share that belief. Even though she lost her father in a terrorist attack, Kathleen’s wasn’t one of the voices crying out for retaliation, and she believes her father would have been proud of her stance following 9/11. From what I have read in my research about Joe Coppo, he seemed to be the type of person who liked to be involved in his Community, especially if it had anything to do with baseball. He seemed to be the type of guy who easily inspired and led others—not because he was a big man, but because he had a big heart. Joe Coppo, I remember you. Although I wouldn’t have shared your love of baseball, I would have eaten a hotdog on the stands with you and listened to what you had to say. Patricia, Kathleen, Joseph, Matthew, and ***End Quote*** *** AND *** *** begin quote *** In the few short years that I knew Joe, I quickly came to realize how much I would learn from him. The veteran took the rookie under his wing. Always suggesting things in just the right way, not too forceful, but always firmly. As his catcher, I could see his ability to control any situation. It is my guess that this is how Joe was as a father and a husband. I will always remember the easy way and big smile. –Carlos Rodriquez, college teammate, *** end quote *** A memory of a Jasper lost to us in the 9/11 disaster. # # # {JR: http://jasperjottings-daily.com/about/911s-jasper-fatalities/ lists all the Jaspers killed on that fateful day.

think he wasn’t in the “Drug War” Ameirka! I don’t understand. Are voters stupid? Are taxpayers enjoying “the
show”? Do people is this neck of the woods not understand what is going on? 1920’s Prohibition! Ring a bell? Today’s drug war? Overflowing prisons. Collateral damage.
Pontificating politicians. And, we still have addicts. Drug addiction is terrible. Putting the gooferment in charge of the
solution is like giving a case of beer and the car keys to teenage boys! Sigh, how dumb are we. The answer? Easy. Just like what ended prohibition. Every juror on a drug case
votes “not guilty”. No explanations needed. All you say is “the state didn’t
prove its case”. When the gooferment can’t get convictions, the addicts will realize
not to plead guilty. Then we will solve the problem! And the gooferment will have no choice but to repeal all these
idiotic laws, regs, and diktats. Just like Prohibition. Just say “no” to gooferment! … |
And that’s the last word.
