The daily site had 1,340 views last week; weekly site had 47. (Weekly site can replace Distribute!) 754 Jaspers are active on the Distribute Yahoo site. (Serves no purpose!) The site had 1,124 unique visits last week. 26 in LinkedInJaspers (http://tinyurl.com/yp6x2q). mcALUMdb is STILL off the air. # # # # # |

I’m renovating for the new year. If there’s something you like, speak up to keep it. Also, if there’s something you hate, now’s a good time to get rid of it. (Any way, I remain “your respectful chronicler of Jasper Achievement”, until replaced, or, stop reading --- which based on participation doesn’t seem very unlikely that you all have stopped reading!) |

http://jewishworldreview.com/1107/milkin_mamas.php3 Milkin' Mamas aid premature, ill
babies *** begin quote *** Now it's the latest business venture for Alice Toth and her 35-year-old identical twin sister, Keri Pommerenk. The inseparable duo that has done almost everything together - even pregnancy - launched a breast milk bank depot, called Milkin' Mamas Breast Milk Bank, this summer. The business links nursing mothers who want to donate their excess breast milk to mothers with premature or ill babies. *** end quote *** Sort of like giving blood! And, only a woman can do it. Humbling. We say we’re “pro life”. But, what actions to we perform. Talk’s cheap. As we come into the season of renewal, have to look closely at what we do! imho. |

No, the mcALUMdb itself is lost. To some extent no surprise. And, it’s discouraging. And, it puts a bigger load on MikeMcE who is supplying the “class look up function” for me. # # # # # |

From: Meg Root Message: Mr. Reinke, It is an honor that you wrote in to my father's guest
book. He always spoke of the fun and memorable times he had a Thank you again for your kind words about our father on
his guest book. The family and I wish you a happy and Healthy Best, # - # - # Dear Ms. Megan: Thanks for your kind, but very unnecessary words. Jaspers, seem to universally share a special spot for that
strange place call While I think one can't logically identify "the best years", that is merely the StarTrek Spock in me coming out. From an engineering, theology, and philosophy perspective, I "know" it is "wrong", but I too have the same feeling. It was my sad duty to pass the news along to our fellow alums. The Guest Book of your Dad, and those of all our fellow Jaspers, serve as both a reflection of their good works, and an inspiration to those of us left behind to emulate them. Personally, I try to ensure that I "collect" everyone as "Journal of Jasper Achievement". It's amazing to see common threads. I'm not sure if that is the MC training, or self-selection bias. But, I'm proud to be in such company. It's not the paper diploma that binds us together; it's the place, the common ideal, and the recognition of the value of each person. Thanks for the positive reinforcement that this effort is beneficial to my fellow alum's family. It's important that it's "bidirectional". As we come to the Holy Day season, I can only hope that we all find -- my favorite phrase "Dona Nobis Pacem" -- Peace. Best wishes to all,

McElhoney, who is set to graduate from Manhattan College in two weeks, is just 21 and finished 12th at his university’s regional cross country championship in 2006. “‘You know,’” Slinskey recalls telling McElhoney, “‘I’m trying to set this world record. If you kick my butt it’s not going to be good.’ There’s 18 years of youth on his side.” The two both competed in the Steamtown
Marathon in “Right now, if we were going to race head to head we’d be about the same,” said Slinskey. “I’m hoping I can get away from him pretty good.” ***End Quote*** McElhoney, Joseph (MC2007) # # # # # |

http://www.wsaz.com/news/headlines/10939086.html Reward For Mystery Lion *** begin quote *** If an African lion is roaming the mountains of
southeastern *** end quote *** And, I want to be young again. Given WVa tradition of guns, I’d say that I’d bet on “killed”. It is all well and good to feel sorry for a misplaced animal. It’s another thing to put people at risk to capture it. Sure all things being equal capture. But we are not talking about someone’s pet gerbil here. That lion maybe hungry and we look like lunch. So, I’d suggest the WVa-ers in the area carry their “lion discouragement device” at the ready. 30-06 should do nicely. Sorry, my sympathy is with the humans. ? |
