‘An Educated man is the one who has so developed the faculties of his mind, so that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others.’ —— Napoleon Hill, the Author of “Think and Grow Rich” |
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18736741 *** begin quote *** *** end quote *** I don’t know about you but probably the second fantasy I remember ever having was when I was reading the Count of Monte Cristo and dreamed of finding a chest of gold. (First fantasy was that monopoly money was real. Little did I know that “real money” would become as worthless as “monopoly money” but I leave that topic for another day. As I will leave all subsequently later fantasies that took a decidedly different direction. But chest were involved.) I know that it’s supposed to be easier to get that proverbial camel through that “eye of the needle” gateway into the holy city, but it must be sure fun to try. Now I know my fellow alums have all the money they could ever need. Like the old joke, “I know I have had enough cause my Mom told me so”, the Universe gives us an abundance of what we focus on, so I have to be sure to focus on the important stuff – peace, abundance, and the supreme worth of every individual. My fellow alums probably don’t need the reminder, but I do. But every once and a while stories like this come along and distract me from my “prayers”. Donna nobis pacem. |

JNEWS: Theresa McGrath (MC????) http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm? Labrot, McGrath vie for Town
Clerk ***Begin Quote*** West Hartford Town Clerk Norma Cronin is stepping down this year, opening up the race for the Town Clerk position. Two candidates, Republican Theresa McGrath and Democrat Essie Labrot, are facing off for the job. Unlike the other elected offices in town, the Town Clerk
position is unique in that the winner becomes a town employee with a salary
and benefits. There have been only nine Town Clerks in the history of Labrot moved to Her campaign for the Town Clerk position is her first run at elected office after 15 years of actively campaigning for other Democratic candidates, local, statewide, and national. Labrot has been a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Policy wise, she is most interested in educational issues. Labrot said her skill set is a
combination of her business, operations, community, and not-for-profit
experience. She said the Town Clerk position is not political but does require
an extensive knowledge of politics in reporting to the state campaign
donations. She said her experience with absentee ballots, serving as a
moderator, justice of the peace, and treasurer of political campaigns, is
valuable hands-on experience that qualifies to become “I’m not necessarily a policy person,” she said. “I’m much more of a process person. People need to look at experience because whoever takes Norma’s place will have to hit the ground running since we have a presidential primary coming.” Theresa McGrath moved to As a candidate for Town Clerk, McGrath also brings together many skills. She said her ability to read state statutes is vital to the job when working with campaign finance laws. She said her administrative skills, leadership skills, and executive level experience leading the West Hartford Taxpayers Association will also be invaluable. Most of all, McGrath said, she is not beholden to a political party and will help those seeking information from the town. She wants to make information such as Town Council meeting minutes available to residents on the town’s Web site. “We need to make the process of government more open for people doing their research,” she said. “My opponent is partisan and a well-connected person politically. She has aligned herself with one party. I have been an advocate for issues. It is vital that the Town Clerk is non-partisan. The Town Clerk doesn’t answer to the town or the majority party.” ***End Quote*** McGrath, Theresa (MC????) # # # # # |

JNEWS: Mangan, John Jr. (MC1966) ***Begin Quote*** The Journal News ( This year’s election is only the second time in the history of the Rockland Legislature that the District 11 seat is guaranteed to go to a challenger. With longtime Legislator Theodore Dusanenko, R-Valley Cottage, not seeking re-election, voters will choose from three candidates who have never served on the Legislature: former Clarkstown Town Board member Ann Marie Smith, local business owner Frank Sparaco and John Mangan Jr., who already has run twice for the seat. The candidates have said they’re concerned about preserving the district’s community and lightening the load for taxpayers. {Extraneous Deleted} Mangan also listed road improvements as a priority as well as drainage projects. On the latter, Mangan said he’d work with town officials to get projects started so residents wouldn’t have continued flooding problems. When it comes to cutting county expenses, each had a different idea of how to save taxpayer dollars. Mangan suggested freezing executive and legislator salaries and controlling the amount of overtime paid to county employees. Even smaller efforts would help, he said, such as ensuring lights are turned off in empty rooms. {Extraneous Deleted} The district includes Congers and part of Valley Cottage. The term is for four years, and the current annual salary is $32,587. {Extraneous Deleted} {}The Mangan File {Extraneous Deleted} LOAD-DATE: October 30, 2007 ***End Quote*** # - # - # Dear John, I believe that John

JNEWS: Zugibe, Thomas (1975) October 30, 2007 Tuesday Rockland District Attorney Michael Bongiorno and Thomas Zugibe don’t agree on much as they wind down their testy campaign for the county’s top prosecutor’s job. Bongiorno cites statistics showing how his emphasis on drug dealers, violent offenders and repeat felons has produced record-low crime levels, increased indictments and tougher prison sentences. Zugibe tries punching holes in his opponent’s 12-year record and contends he can do better at reducing crime. He calls Bongiorno’s office “dysfunctional,” saying crime-prevention programs and corruption investigations exist more on paper than on the streets. He says plea-bargaining is overused to boost conviction numbers. Bongiorno counters that Zugibe is out of touch, since he hasn’t prosecuted a case in more than two decades, and now distorts the facts. Bongiorno says his office’s investigations are known to the public and when it comes to negotiated pleas, judges have the final word and his office sometimes agrees and sometimes it doesn’t. {Extraneous Deleted} {}Thomas Zugibe {Extraneous Deleted} LOAD-DATE: October 31, 2007 ***End Quote*** Zugibe, Thomas (1975) # # # # # |

But Henry Petroski, Aleksander S. Vesic professor of civil engineering, said he believes it is important for people to understand the everyday objects that surround them-toothpicks included. “Everything is designed and manufactured and sold to us,” said Petroski, who is also a professor of history. “By being able to look critically at those things, we’re better able to understand and appreciate them in a number of ways.” Petroski discussed the toothpick and its scientific and social evolution in “The Toothpick: Technology and Culture,” a book published Oct. 16 by Knopf. He has made a career out of explaining the significance of run-of-the mill tools in the 12 books he has authored, all of which have been published since he came to Duke in 1980. Other titles include “The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance” and “The Evolution of Useful Things.” Writing has long been a passion of Petroski’s.

If I can’t do it and they derive their powers from me, then how can they do it? The free market place in gambling would give the people the best deal.
