POSITRACTION: Pope Benedict XVI is getting his own channel on Google
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090117/D95OTDRO1.html
Pope to have own Google channel with video
Jan 17, 7:58 AM (ET)
*** begin quote ***
VATICAN CITY (AP) - The Vatican says Pope Benedict XVI is getting his own channel on Google.
It says the Vatican TV Center and Vatican Radio are collaborating with Google on the project.
The Vatican’s press office said Saturday that texts and video of
the pope’s speeches as well as news about the pontiff would be
posted directly onto the channel.
It says more information will be given next week.
*** end quote ***

[JR: Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, rest his soul, must be turning over. He
was excoriated for going on TV with Theology, outreach, and teaching.
Catholic school kids HAD to watch; it was on the test the next day.
That was unfair. But, the man understood the power of TV. His rebuke
led Holy Mother Church to abandon the medium to the secular
progressives. Interesting.]

To: Carbonaro, Richard F. (MC1997)
Subject: Thank you for your comment — too much time
Hi RC97:
Too much time! Definitely.
Please don’t send me anything that will make me jealous of the
youth. It’s give me too big a case of the “Shouldas,
wouldas, and couldas”. (At one time, I had great hopes. Now,
I’m just “coasting”.)
I do have about 25 google feeds that drop stuff in automagically. A few
RSS feeds tagged to anything or anybody Jasper. Makes it pretty easy.
I saw you using BLOGGER. Not the best choice imho. WordPress on a
service provider to capture some revenue might have been better.
I’m trying to move now. It’s much easier to start correctly
rather than migrate.
Yup, FOWG IT guru. Washed up. 62. Too young to retire (again); to old to be considered. Argh!
WRT to RSS 2 Facebook notes: Too many auto feeds make the S/N ratio
bad. You can’t get the message thru. That’s what the drive
for personal branding and relationship management is all about. A
consistent voice that can be heard.

[JR: Well, you have to go to IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and the various
other movie sites. Make a report. Perhaps even put it on Drudge! What
an insult. I assume that you blame Rudy for not reading the script. I
assume that he had script approval. But you're the Perry Mason. Could
they have done it without his approval and cooperation? How dumb a
mistake! Guess Hollywood worries too much about politics and causes to
get the facts right!]

Hi John:
Thanks for all the good work you do and especially for the link to “An Amazing Man.” It was truly inspiring.
Best regards,
Peter E. Dans ‘57
[JR: You're welcome. Anytime. But, I think we'll have to wait for the
'Final Judgement' to assess the "good work". I can see Brother Jasper
with a giant red marker and pages upon pages filled with red circles
saying "You put out THIS with MY CARTOON on it! Now where's Breen!"
ROFL. WRT Amazing, glad you liked it. I think, like the "Last Lecture",
these are works that give value, and to some extent forgiveness, to all
the trash on the internet. It's something that changes the watcher
viscerally. You think "... and I think I have problems?" I'm humbled to
be able to pass this and a lot of the other material along for
everyone's consideration. It's my small attempt at being useful. LOL.
As long as spelling doesn't count. I R an injineer.]

being retired and hung with pride in the Draddy gym.
It’s is a great idea, though late in coming.

MaryBeth? Further detective work yields a suspect: "Mary Elizabeth
Conway, Villanova '06, Ernst & Young". Congrats to both. And, I
hope we'll get a wedding announcement here in Jottings. More likely to
get "defriended" for being nosey. Hmmm, woner if it was supposed to be

Subject: Google Alert - “fjohn”
Private question. Can you outline how I get started with all this internet social networking?
# # # # #
[JR: I'm always open to helping my fellow Jaspers. I felt this answer was too good to allow to stay hidden.]
Hi {Privacy Shield Invoked}:
Social networking is all about making connections with people across
the internet that you can help and who in turn can help you.
There’s an adage I quote often: “first seek to help; then
be helped”. You can’t wait until you’re pounding the
pavement to start networking.
You might want to review the presentation I recently made to the MC Marketing Club @ http://docs.google.com/PresentationEditor?id=drn4mj8_74gwmpnff9
Or visit my “turkey farm: at http://tinyurl.com/lxu93.
Quick steps:
(1) Get your own domain with email, webspace, and a blog. I use
http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=9113251 (i.e., 60$/year; don’t over
pay).
(2) Begin to build your web presence. With your own domain, use that
email. Don’t use a free email service or your Internet Service
Provider.
(3) On your new domain, establish: a fun email account, a personal
email account, and a formal business email account. (No extra cost!)
(4) Establish a free account on LinkedIn with your formal business
email address, and build your online “resume”. Begin to
slowly connect with your best friends.
(5) Establish a free account on Facebook with your personal email
account, and begin to connect with your fellow alums (like me?).
(6) Seek to help people on LinkedIn and Facebook.
Before you know it, you’ll be a social networking expert. For a deeper dive, there are two great ebooks:
I’m on LinkedIn–Now What??? (Second Edition): A Guide to
Getting the Most Out of LinkedIn by Jason Alba (Paperback - Jan 7,
2009) and I’m on Facebook–Now What???: How to Get Personal,
Business, and Professional Value from Facebook by Jason Alba, Jesse
Stay, Lee Lorenzen, and Robert Scoble (Paperback - Feb 1, 2008)
{Disclaimer: I know Jason Alba from when he was just another turkey. And, I was an unpaid alpha reviewer of his first book.}
WARNING: Be circumspect about WHAT you post and the pictures you post.
Digital dirt is forever. And, virtually un-eraseable. You can
“bury” it but it’s still there.
If you have specific questions, I’d be happy to “help”.
Jaspers are forever,
fjohn68

Manhattan College Names Dr. Brennan O’Donnell as 19th President

Manhattan College Names Dr. Brennan O’Donnell as 19th President
Release: 02/17/2009
*** begin quote ***
RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Manhattan College has named Dr. Brennan
O’Donnell as its 19th president, effective July 1, at which time
Br. Thomas Scanlan, F.S.C., will step down from his position after
nearly 22 years of leadership.
O’Donnell will become the first lay person to serve as president
in the 156-year history of Manhattan College, a Lasallian Catholic
institution founded and run by the De La Salle Christian Brothers. The
Brothers’ history dates back to 17th century France and their
founder, John Baptist de La Salle, designated by the Catholic Church as
the Patron Saint of Teachers.
O’Donnell is currently dean of Fordham College at Rose Hill,
Fordham University’s oldest and largest school, a college of arts
and sciences with more than 3,200 students and nearly 300 faculty. He
brings to Riverdale the experience of running an academic unit close to
the size of Manhattan College.
“I’m honored and humbled by the faith that the Manhattan
community has placed in me to lead this great College in fulfilling its
mission,” O’Donnell says. “There is enormous strength
and potential here, and I look forward with excitement to continuing
and forwarding Manhattan’s long tradition of applying Lasallian
wisdom to contemporary challenges.”
“Dr. O’Donnell is blessed to be asked to serve a wonderful
student body and to lead a great team of administrators, faculty and
staff,” Scanlan says. “In turn, Manhattan College will be
blessed by Dr. O’Donnell’s strong commitment to Catholic
higher education and his promise to enhance the College’s
Lasallian heritage.”
Prior to assuming his current role in 2004, O’Donnell spent
nearly two decades at Loyola College of Maryland, where he was
professor in the department of English. He also served as director of
the honors program (1999-2004), where he oversaw a university-wide
interdisciplinary humanities program that enrolls about 200 students
under the instruction of more than 20 faculty members from seven
departments. His career began as a teaching assistant in the department
of English at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
(1983-1986).
O’Donnell has been a member of the board of Collegium, a national
organization of Catholic colleges and universities that supports
faculty seeking to deepen their understanding of the intellectual
tradition informing their institutions, and is currently a member of
the board of the Lilly Fellows Program, which seeks to strengthen the
quality and shape the character of church-related institutions of
higher learning for the 21st century.
He has experience in faculty recruitment and development, student
recruitment and retention, advising, budget planning and
administration, curriculum and program development and evaluation,
accreditation, strategic planning, fundraising, advertising and public
relations.
O’Donnell earned his B.A. in English at Penn State University
(1981), and received an M.A. and Ph.D. in English and American
literature and language from the University North Carolina at Chapel
Hill. He is the author of The Passion of Meter: A Study of
Wordsworth’s Metrical Art and Numerous Verse: A Guide to the
Stanzas and Metrical Structures of Wordsworth’s Poetry, as well
as numerous other journal articles and papers. In addition, he is the
recipient of various awards and honors.
“Dr. O’Donnell is a highly respected educator and academic
administrator,” says Thomas O’Malley, chairman of the board
of trustees at Manhattan College. “His natural leadership talents
coupled with a deep commitment to Catholic liberal education will
positively impact the College’s programs in science, engineering
and business, as well as in arts and science. These are among the many
factors that led the search committee to unanimously recommend him to
be the next leader of the College and for the board to elect him as the
19th president of Manhattan succeeding Brother Thomas.”
Scanlan, Manhattan College’s longest-tenured president, was
inaugurated on October 29, 1987. Prior to his appointment, he was vice
chancellor and chief executive officer of Bethlehem University,
Palestine, a private, independent institution sponsored by the Vatican
and directed by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.
Under Scanlan’s leadership, Manhattan College has undergone a
transformation that has it currently recognized as one of the premier
Catholic institutions of higher education in the nation. During his
time in office, the College has seen a 120-percent increase in
applications and a 100-point increase in SAT scores while achieving
accreditations by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of
Business and the Teacher Education Accreditation Council.
Scanlan has raised more than $225 million in two capital campaigns, and
the endowment increased tenfold. His leadership led to the construction
of the 24-7 state-of-the-art Mary Alice and Thomas O’Malley
Library featuring modern accommodations for study and research. Twin
residence halls Horan and East Hill were built to accommodate 1,250
students. A new multilevel parking garage was completed in 2008.
Founded in 1853, Manhattan College is an independent, Catholic,
coeducational institution of higher learning offering more than 40
major programs of undergraduate study in the areas of arts, business,
education, engineering and science, along with graduate programs in
education and engineering. For more information about Manhattan

MFound: “Skyscraper” Alleyne’s Manhattan College connection
http://cny.org/archive/ld/ld8021209.htm
Catholic New York — February 12, 2009
Rice Graduate Reaches New Heights as Globetrotter
By SOCRATES PALMER Jr.
*** begin quote ***
Skyscraper was a three—time, first—team All—City and
All—State selection under head coach Maurice Hicks. As a junior,
he helped lead Rice to Catholic High School and New York State
Federation titles. As a senior, he averaged 21.0 points, 14.0 rebounds
and 5.0 blocks per game.
In 2003, he earned a scholarship to the University of Kentucky. The
Wildcats made the NCAA tournament during each season of
Skyscraper’s collegiate career, including a run to the Elite
Eight in 2005. Unfortunately Alleyne’s Kentucky years were not
his personal best statistically and in his senior year he transferred
to Manhattan College. As a transfer, he was forced to sit out his
senior season. He didn’t play a single game for the Jaspers
before entering the 2007 NBA draft. He was not drafted, but attended
training camp with the Philadelphia 76ers that year. Alleyne says that
playing for an NBA team remains a dream, but he feels that God has put
him in a great situation with the Globetrotters.
“I’m traveling a lot and seeing a lot of places,”
Alleyne said. “When I joined the tour we started at a U.S.
military base in Asia and then went to Japan, Guam and Korea.
Entertaining the troops is something very special to me and it is what
the Globetrotters are all about, putting smiles on people’s
faces.”
The Globetrotters play virtually all year round, but most of their
games are held throughout North America from the last week in December
through late April. During the rest of the year, the Globetrotters play
numerous games overseas and participate in other charitable activities.
The Globetrotters play a schedule of about 100 games in the
four—month peak stretch, including doubleheaders. Playing that
much basketball is fine with Alleyne, who first fell in love with the
game while emulating his older brother, Robert, his hero while growing
up. “I thought and still think that he was an incredible person,
and I wanted to be just like him,” Alleyne said. After watching
his brother play basketball for several years, Skyscraper took up the
sport at age 10.

Growing up with hate
Sabina Mohsin was born in Pakistan. “I grew up with that typical
understanding of this is us, and this is them. Kind of that dual
mindset,” she told the group. “I had a lot of anger inside
me and it really bothered me.”
She said she knew people in Pakistan who hated both Jews and Hindus,
but had never met a person from either background. And it was only when
she started dating an Israeli man during her senior year at Manhattan
College that her mind began to change.
“Getting to know them as people, slowly, slowly and slowly it
started to melt away,” she said, making it impossible to
“hate collectively.”
When she first heard of the group, she said, “I literally started
to cry…” She traveled from Queens to Riverdale for the
meeting on Sunday.

After graduating from Manhattan College, Schriefer got his start
working for two Republican House members, and was Mid-Atlantic

the 1996 presidential primary season, Schriefer did consulting work for
Robert J. Dole for president.[4]

Schriefer produced campaign advertisements for George W. Bush in the

aired in 2004 picturing Senator John Kerry windsurfing.[6] In 2007,
Stevens & Schriefer briefly served as one of Senator John

JEmail: Schlickenrieder, Warren (MC1942) reminds me where Bronxville is

Subject: Manhattan College location
John,
Manhattan College is not located in Bronxville (as was reported in JasperJottings Week 07 - 2009 Feb 15).
Bronxville is a community in Westchester County.
Manhattan is located in The Bronx, one of the five boroughs that comprise New York City.
I am sure you know this, but I felt that a comment on the information that was provided in JasperJottings was in order.

[JR: Absolutely correct. I tried to update the page that had that. It
purports to be a wiki, but doesn't allow updates. By putting the link
to them there and here http://plumbot.com/Misnomer.html,
I was hoping to get someone to look at their reference and fix it. No
luck. I guess it's just part of the "DEAD WEB". Up and running, but no
one cares. Lights are on, but no one home? Thanks, I should have been
more clear what I was saying.]

JEmail: Reinke, F. John (MC1968) recommends the NBC and CNN rejected commercial
Subject: Great pro-life commercial
Date: February 21, 2009 2:18:27 PM EST
To: My Fellow Jaspers
From: fjohn68

As you know, I’m always wishing that my challenges be little
ones. To match my minimal skills and abilities. Maybe I’ve found
one?
Now these folks have come up with a “killer commercial”. IT
guys always talk about the “killer app” that just
revolutionizes the industry, like Apple’s Visicalc or
Lotus’ Spreadsheet. Here’s a challenge that I’ve
embraced. I put this on my FACEBOOK profile. That will get the idea in
front of a lot of people. Maybe they might even watch. Maybe they will
“defriend” me! Even say bad things about me. (Like
that’s going to bother me!) That’s a chance I’ll
take. I’ll put it on my blog, “Reinke Faces Life”.
I’ll plant the flag and let people brand me as a reactionary
kook. (Actually, I think “Classical Liberal” might be more
accurate. All those Theology and Philosophy courses that MC made the
injineers take may have finally sunk in.)
We, as a society, using the guns of gooferment force, may have allowed ourselves to kill the future.
Abortion is the genocide of our society’s future. When you’re in a hole, it’s a good idea to stop digging.
I found this video to communicate the possibilities at a visceral
level. The mainstream media has an agenda; I’m not surprised they
surpressed it. It might make the sheeple (people who are sheep) think.
And as George Orwell pointed out that’s dangerous to the elite.
The suppressed commercial is here http://www.catholicvote.com/; it links to YouTube.
Take 45 seconds and see if it doesn’t move you to think.
(Don’t care WHAT you think. Just that you do THINK. The media
doesn’t want you doing any of that dangerous stuff! ROFL!
I signed up for Catholic Vote despite not being a saint. I urge you to do the same.
Here’s their response:
*** begin quote ***
Thank you for signing up to let your friends and family know about our
efforts to take back our families, our schools, our courts, and our
culture. Together at CatholicVote.org, we are building a movement of
people to stand strong to defend life, faith, and family.
*** end quote ***
Sounds pretty good to me.
But I’m just an injineer!

Comment on ENDNOTE: Catholic Schools get “captured”!
By Fix4RSO
*** begin quote ***
Yep - what’s even more tragic is the fact that Pelosi and the
Kennedys are still allowed to take communion. You really find out who
truly is Catholic … and you can tell the diocese just wants the
cash. It’s sad …
Our parish recently had to Sisters who became US Citizens. Their first
act of being a part of this great country: voted for Obama.
Uh-huh … it’s clear … your article is no shock to
me … I am far from being shocked as a post-Vatican 2 victim
…

ENDNOTE: Vatican confirms that Pelosi will have audience with the Pope

Vatican confirms that Pelosi will have audience with the Pope
Vatican City, Feb 16, 2009 / 11:55 am (CNA).- On Monday at noon in
Rome, the Vatican’s Press Office confirmed to CNA that Pope
Benedict will be receiving U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in an
audience at noon on Wednesday.
Pelosi, a self-proclaimed “ardent Catholic” who has sparked
significant criticism from fellow Catholics in the U.S. for her
pro-abortion views, arrived in Italy on Sunday for an eight-day
official visit.
[JR: Maybe we can pray that the Holy Father had a chance to explain the Church's position on abortion to this CINO?]
