Meet the most honest little kid in New York City: Brooklyn’s own Kemoy Gourzang.

The fifth-grader was walking through East Flatbush on the way to school Friday morning when he found a brown leather wallet on the sidewalk.

It was stuffed. There was at least $500 cash in there.

Kemoy knew what to do. He made a beeline for the school principal’s office and turned in his newfound treasure.

[JR: Nice to see honesty!]

Regarded as a pillar of St. Vincent’s Hospital
Cardiologist was always accessible to patients
Sunday, March 01, 2009
Staten Island Advance

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Dr. Thomas J. Quigley, 90, a pioneering Staten Island cardiologist known for his dedication to his patients, died Thursday at his home in Seaside Park, N.J., after a long illness.

Born in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan, he earned his undergraduate degree from Manhattan College. He graduated in 1943 with his medical degree from Georgetown University Medical School in Washington, D.C.

He completed his internship at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Manhattan. During World War II, he served as a captain in the U.S. Army Medical Corps. He met his wife while both were assigned to the 123rd General Hospital in Hereford, England. After the war, he returned to St. Vincent’s for his residency in cardiology.

In 1950, he was recruited by the Sisters of Charity at St. Vincent’s in Manhattan to come to the hospital’s West Brighton campus to begin a medical teaching program for young doctors.

Dr. Quigley was regarded as one of the pillars of St. Vincent’s, now known as Richmond University Medical Center. His leadership led to the establishment of the cardiology care and intensive care units, both pioneering efforts in the early 1960s. The concept of coronary care units was so new it required the drafting and enactment of new legislation in Albany. He was among a group that helped write the law.

He served as Director of Medicine for 15 years and was also president of the medical staff during his almost 50-year association with the hospital.

Dr. Quigley was a throwback to a family physician of another age in his availability to his patients, checking on their conditions long after scheduled hours, often in their homes.

“He represents the end of an era in medicine,” said his friend, Dr. Thomas Forlenza. “He was able to combine old-fashioned family medicine with academics and it was admirable.”

When he moved to the Island in 1950, Dr. Quigley lived for several years in Port Richmond, before moving to Castleton Corners, where he opened a private practice out of his Victory Boulevard home.

His office phone would also ring in his bedroom, so he was always available to his patients, even in the middle of the night.

“When you called, you never got an answering service, you got him on the phone,” said Dr. Thomas Vazzana, a fellow cardiologist and Dr. Quigley’s partner from 1991 until 1993.

“He knew all his patients, families, medical histories and medications off the top of his head.”

Dr. Quigley was a Knight of Malta and a life member of the Assumption Council, Knights of Columbus.

He was also a former president of the Richmond County Medical Society. He was a diplomate on the American Board of Internal Medicine and a fellow of the American College of Physicians and the American College of Cardiology.

He retired from medical practice in 1993, leaving behind a legion of doctors, nurses and medical students he had helped train, along with many patients who benefited from his care. He moved to Seaside Park last year.

“He was a wonderful person first, and a wonderful doctor after that,” said Dr. William Frederick. “He was a very, very capable physician and person and I’m going to miss him greatly.”

Surviving are his wife of 62 years, the former Eleanor Criswell; four sons, Thomas Jr., John, Mark and Kevin; two daughters, Judith Ruse and Lynn Richardson, and six grandchildren. The funeral will be Wednesday from the Harmon Home for Funerals, West Brighton, with a mass at 9:30 a.m. in St. Teresa’s R.C. Church, Castleton Corners. Burial will follow in St. Peter’s Cemetery.

Behrends chasing golden moments
By Mike Dougherty
The Journal News • March 1, 2009

*** begin quote ***

WHITE PLAINS - As the first game of a busy week at the County Center tipped off, Bill Behrends was already settled into a familiar seat, ready to watch the latest generation of student-athletes chase a golden moment.

It’s the highlight of his year, too.

The former Mahopac athletic director has served on the Section 1 boys basketball committee for 39 years, watching history and heartbreak unfold here. And when the buzzer sounds, Behrends gets to hand out the coveted hardware.

“I do look forward to it, very much,” said Behrends, who is 82 years old. “I look forward to coming back here this week like hundreds of people do. Anybody who’s from Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess and now Rockland, the goal was always to be here.”

*** and ***

He was a baseball and basketball standout at All Hallows High School who enlisted in the Marines as World War II began to wind down. There was an opportunity to play basketball at North Carolina State, but he decided to stay closer to home and went to Manhattan College to play baseball.

There was a tryout with the Yankees, too.

Behrends sold accounting machines for 13 years before getting into teaching in 1965. He started out teaching fifth grade in Mahopac, and was eventually promoted to athletic director, and spent the next 15 years watching the program grow.

JFound: Matystik, Walter (MC1972 MCstaff) has insights into Google Apps

http://listserv.educause.edu/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0902&L=CIO&P=177022

Subject: Re: Google Apps for facuty/staff

Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 17:32:13 -0500

Manhattan College made the full transition to Google Apps over the January intersession for all students and employees. We’ve already avoided capital expenditures this fiscal year for server and storage upgrades we would have needed had we kept our in house system. I’ve also been able to cut next FYs capital budget that would have continued with those upgrades. And, with Google, we ramped up storage way beyond what we could have done on our own.

Our next move will be to add alum e-mail over the summer converting legacy account and transitioning the May graduates to an alum pool. Google apparently can’t yet segregate user groups so the alum accounts will initially remain free of ads (same as students/employees) until Google sorts that out.

The synchronization with PDAs/cells and the shared calenders have been appreciated and, overall, the transition has been well received so far especially by the students. We did have to deal with some of the same issues already addressed in Theresa and Ted’s responses. What helped was getting the proposal to make the move approved by our IT Advisory Board (comprising faculty, administrators, board reps & consultors).

I’m still a bit concerned over what will happen cost-wise down the road after the “free phase” expires and needed to make a strong financial case that any potential impact in the future would have been offset by years of savings. Time will tell.

JEmail: Reinke, Fjohn (MC1968) highlights Pro-Abortionist HHS Secretary

From: Fjohn68
Date: March 1, 2009 11:11:24 AM EST
To: My Fellow Jaspers
Subject: Don’t be surprised at the pro-abortion policies coming from DC …

I can’t say as I am surprised. We have so many CINO politicians in the District of Corruption. And, the campaign didn’t expose the new President as a supporter of infanticide. So why should we me surprised when he appoints a pro-abortion HHS.

No wonder it was announced on a Saturday to slip it in under the radar!

When do we vote and argue for the principle of Life? Sorry, but Rush Limbaugh is correct when he says “we can not check our principles at the door”.

This appointment doesn’t surprise me. It saddens me. The congress critters, politicians, and bureaucrats are going to make things worse in so many different areas at the same time.

President Barack Obama Names Pro-Abortion Kathleen Sebelius Health Secretary
by Steven Ertelt LifeNews.com Editor
February 28, 2009

*** begin quote ***

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Strongly pro-abortion Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has accepted President Barack Obama’s request to serve as the Health Secretary. Sebelius has one of the most radical pro-abortion record of any elected official and a longstanding relationship with a late-term abortion practitioner.

White House officials told the New York Times as late as February 18 that Sebelius had emerged as Obama’s leading choice for the position. Then, this week, they acknowledged that her pro-abortion record could cause problems for her nomination.

Obama’s decision to allow word of his selection to lead ot the media first on a Saturday is designed to play down news coverage of his selection of a hardcore abortion advocate to lead his health care reform efforts and to implement his pro-abortion agenda.

Dear John,

Those DOWGs weren’t too good on the rights of women and non-whites – so I wouldn’t be too sure what they thought about the unborn.

But I think we should support a totally libertarian view – that the government should stay totally out of what a woman does with her body.

[JR: Well, they had their struggles as well. The slavery compromise was made to preserve the "union" against England. Personally, I'm surprised that the idealist Jefferson nor the pragmatist Ben Franklin didn't come up with the "slave buy out" idea. The rest of the world "figured out" slavery without a devastating "civil" war. So the DOWGs were pretty smart, but not infallible. They didn't have the concept of killing unborn children; thus, no idea what they would have thought. Depending if we could come to a national consensus on when life begins, then the government might have some small role in preserving the rights of its littlest citizens. We are so far from that point it's almost inconceivable. (But, an important principle!) The gooferment has totally screwed up education (condemning children to poverty) and foster care (condemning children to abuse). Instead of telling women and their doctors what to do, it should be working on unwinding their involvement in our lives. Instead, they are, like a parasite, worming in further. Argh! Yes, I trust women with these tough decisions more than any gooferment bureaucrat! I just shake my head. And, I don't want to pay for what I view as an immoral behavior (i.e., killing children)! Argh! ]

NCAA Player Blogs: John Geaghan on the Jaspers’ Pittsburgh trip

March 2nd, 2009 by Sean Burns

Our latest college lacrosse blog comes from Manhattan college senior goalie John Geagan, who brings us a recap of the week that was leading up to the Jasper’s trip to Pittsburgh to face Robert Morris and Detroit. Players and coaches interested in submitting blogs can email Info@InsideLacrosse.com.

*** begin quote ***

What’s up Inside Lacrosse, my name is John Geagan and I’m a senior goalie at Manhattan College.

Yes, it’s Division 1.

So I’m gonna blog to you guys about our road trip. We’re on the way to Pittsburgh, to play Robert Morris and Detroit (Editors Note: the Jaspers went 1-1). It was an interesting week, trying to get all the work done for Thursday and Friday classes that we were going to miss, and hand it in before hand. A bunch of guys had tests that they had to arrange with the professors to retake. We had an early 7 am practice, got our stuff together, then got on the bus. We’re about to get moving and senior Angelo Marrano is all jacked up because we have Capri Suns on the bus, and that brings him back to the old days when he didn’t have a beard or long hair. I’ll catch up later.

What’s up guys I’m in my room right now just got back from our team dinner, meeting and film session. We’re pretty pumped for the game and our scouting report seems right on. I’m gonna try to get some work done, I’m in a room with jr. defensemen Kyle “splinter” Ochwat, who’s bro is a freshmen pole at Ohio State. I’m gonna do some school work, review the scout and get some rest, catch up later. What’s up guys its friday morning just got back from a solid breakfast in our hotel props to the Holiday Inn for that, everyone seems pumped and loose for today, were about to get on the bus and get to Robert Morris, always there 2 hours ahead of time, but since I’m a goalie I do a lot of prep for the game so ill catch up after What’s up guys just got back from the game. We had them, but made some costly mistakes, lots of turnovers, and they capitalized on opportunities. We feel we should have won but give RMU props they pulled it out. Everyone is icin down in the hotel, showering, because the game was really rainy. Rumor has it our frosh attackmen Brian Hall only showers when he “has to.” All the guys are grabbin lunch n nappin, the other two captains and I are going to meet with our head coach, then head to dinner and meet for the Detroit scouting. What’s up guys just got back from dinner and scout we held a team meeting without the coaching staff where the majority of our team spoke their minds about how to improve as a team. Definitely think it helped. I’m going to watch some home improvement and get some sleep. Ill catch up tomorrow. What’s up guys were just gettin on the bus after a team breakfast, we checked out of the hotel, and we’re getting on the road right after the game. Heading over to Robert Morris now which is the neutral site for us. I’ll check in later. Hey guys were on the bus after the game on our way back to New York City. Its been a long weekend everyone seems excited to get back to school. Its been a great first road trip even though we didn’t play as good as we wanted. We have a long bus ride home and I need to string our sophomore goalies’ sticks. (They’re in trouble when I graduate). Hope you enjoyed hearing about how a weekend as an MC Laxer is.

Thanks for reading

Snow Day

*** begin quote ***

A snow day arrives today, Monday. Its beautiful outside my window right now. A nice blend of Bronx and white fog. Birds who came North too early are scrambling for shelter.

Perhaps the most perfect thing. After a weekend of running around, business, this day of resting is quite welcome.

Saturday morning I hit the slopes for the 3rd time this winter season. This time, headed to Hunter Mt. in the Catskills for a Senior Trip with classmates. This was cool because it was less about skiing, more about spending time together with Manhattan College friends. I did plenty of runs with friends on the more difficult slopes (im getting the hang of this skiing thing), then headed down to the bunny slopes to catch Julie picking up the sport pretty quickly. I was able to take her to the top of the mountain by the end of the day for a big run.

Tegy has spent the last two years working feverishly as a volunteer for the Obama campaign at the grassroots level with such groups as Generation Obama New York City; London for Obama and DC for Obama. Tegy’s campaign experience began in 2004 when he worked in varied capacities for the Kerry-Edwards Presidential campaign and the Eliot Spitzer gubernatorial campaign. He also has served as an intern for Senator Jon Corzine (NJ) in 2004. Mr. Thomas has worked at Voter News Service; a consortium of major news networks which provided results for the 2002 United States Presidential elections. Before getting involved in the campaign world, Mr. Thomas began his career in the financial services sector holding positions with Datek Online Holdings Corp and Signature Bank and Securities both in the NY metro area. Tegy’s true passion lies in film and technology, while trying to fuse both disciplines in underserved and developing communities.

During his undergraduate years Tegy was involved in the health care sector with a specific focus in pharmacy and physical therapy. He worked for a health care administrator and gained invaluable experience while working with other allied health professionals in rehabilitation clinics, long term care facilities, and hospitals. To better understand the relationships of corporate social responsibility, education, and social impact, Tegy worked on a grassroots campaign initiated by Nike called P.L.A.Y. (Participated in the Lives of America’s Youth).

MFound: Manhattan College faculty member for Pro-Abortion Obama Pick?

http://www.catholic.org/prwire/headline.php?ID=6134

Catholic Professors Cheerleading for Pro-Abortion Obama Pick
3/3/2009 - 1:41 PM PST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MEDIA ADVISORY
Catholic PRWire

MANASSAS, VA (MARCH 3, 2009) - Half of the 26 Catholic activists, scholars and theologians who signed a statement publicly supporting President Barack Obama’s selection of pro-abortion Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius as Secretary of Health and Human Services are professors employed by Catholic universities, The Cardinal Newman Society revealed today.

“These professors are giving comfort and aid to those whose stated goals are to advance policies directly opposed to Catholic teachings on life issues, and they do it under the guise of fidelity to Jesus Christ,” said Patrick J. Reilly, President of The Cardinal Newman Society.

“Lauding pro-abortion Catholics such as Gov. Sebelius is an entirely individual action that does not necessarily reflect on their Catholic employers, but it does highlight the problem of Catholic universities being used as platforms for pro-abortion politics. Moreover, it speaks to the need for careful faculty hiring that considers the moral judgment and example of professors.”

The pro-Sebelius open statement, organized by the pro-Obama group Catholics United, cites Sebelius’ “successful efforts at reducing abortion.” Sebelius has said that she personally believes abortion is wrong.

However, Kathleen Sebelius vetoed pro-life legislation on four separate occasions as governor of Kansas. After she vetoed the pro-life Comprehensive Abortion Reform Act in April 2008, Bishop Joseph Naumann told the Los Angeles Times that she “should stop receiving Communion until she publicly repudiates her support of abortion.”

According to Robert Novak in a May 2008 article entitled “A Vice President for Abortion”, Sebelius was “allied with the aggressive Kansas branch of Planned Parenthood in a bitter struggle with anti-abortion activist District Attorney Phill Kline. There is substantial evidence she has been involved in laundering abortion industry money for distribution to Kansas Democrats. Kansas is the fiercest state battleground for abortion wars, making Kathleen Sebelius the national pro-choice poster girl.” Novak also writes, “In May 2007, Sebelius was featured at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in Kansas City, Mo.”

“Given Gov. Sebelius’s abortion record and the concerns of her own bishop, it is sad that some of her strongest supporters are speaking out from their platforms on Catholic campuses,” noted Reilly.

This is especially true given the important Catholic values that may very well come under assault by the Obama Administration. For instance, in an article published on the website of First Things, papal biographer George Weigel noted that the next Secretary of HHS will shape key policy on a number of questions:

“Will conscience-rights protection for pro-life physicians and health-care workers be sustained, amended, or eliminated? Will over-the-counter abortifacients in the guise of ‘Plan B’ contraceptives be available to minors without a doctor’s prescription or counsel? Will the government continue to sanction the sale and use of RU-486, the ‘abortion pill’ that has killed seven women since the Clinton administration rammed its approval through the Food and Drug Administration shortly before leaving office?”

Catholic scholars who signed the statement, with their Catholic university affiliations, include:

A Reflection

Walter Ineson, our dear friend and colleague, was a charter member of the Boys from the 1st Hole Golf League which formed in 1992. For seventeen years, he served as the league’s official score keeper and as a member of the executive board. Engineers like Walter are highly skilled professionals who strive to make the world a better place. He was always able to use his organizational and planning skills to make our lives easier and more meaningful, whether he was golfing, fundraising for numerous charities, or enjoying the company of his loving wife, family, and friends.

Walter was well-known for his dedication, fairness, honesty, and rationality, especially when important decisions were needed in league or tourney play. Leading 36 or so diverse and independent peers in an amateur golf league is no easy task. Yet, leadership does constitute service to others and Walter was a wonderful leader who modeled essential values such as care, and concern, and connectedness, as well as an understanding of the common good.

Walter was also a superb golfer, committed to the process of excellence while stroking countless shots and putts on the Dunwoodie Golf Course driving range and putting green. He loved to learn and share new things about driving, chipping, and putting, always seeking better ways to play a game where winning is virtually impossible.

Much like the legendary Bagger Vance, he knew that golfers can’t beat a course or really win - we can only play the game, accept our own human shortcomings, and deal with the frustrating realities of sandtraps and undulating greens.

Most importantly, Walter was a man who understood love, affection, and camaraderie. He loved his wife and family, showed deep affection for his friends, and enjoyed spending downtime with his golfing buddies. He smiled easily, forgave quickly, tolerated and modified our egocentrism, and always volunteered to help one person or another without complaint or a need for recognition. His abilities were exemplary in the honored traditions of public discourse and storytelling.

In another month, league play will resume at the Dunwoodie Golf Course. When you get to the 18th tee which is high on a Yonkers hill, hit your drive well, remember Walter, and watch the ball as it gently flies toward heaven.

LOPSA-NJ - IPv6: The Final Frontier
Local/Affiliate
Start: 2009-04-02 19:00
End: 2009-04-02 21:00
Timezone: EST

Ironically, the title of this presentation is the same as that of an article published in Japan in 1996. Yet, since that time we have barely stepped into the IPv6 frontier. Internet Protocol, version 6, or IPv6 for short, has been “3 years away” since the early 1990s. It has received much interest in the academic and research communities and there are several experimental networks. But, there has been no “killer application”, as they used to say when IPv6 was first conceived, so IPv6 has not taken off commercially. But recent trends indicate it actually may take off, and soon.

Fears of IPv4 address space running out have been the primary reason that IPv6 has endured as a viable technology for over a decade despite nearly no acceptance in commercial networks. With “only” 4-billion addresses, the rapidly-growing Internet-based economy needs far more breathing room than IPv4 offers. The U.S. DoD, for example, envisions the deployment of address space thousands of times larger than the present-day Internet on each individual soldier. Those outside the U.S. are motivated to move to IPv6, partly because emerging technological powers like China have little legacy to preserve and strong government-mandated direction to implement leading-edge technologies.

IPv6 shouldn’t be expected to be a final frontier by anyone aware of the history of technology. But, IP networks are entering a brave new world with the maturing of this latest version of the protocol. Fortunately, IPv6 as a commercial reality is still far enough out that most businesses have plenty of time to plan and execute an orderly adoption. In addition to the history of IPv6, this presentation discusses real world pilot examples and gives tips on how to plan pilots and overall IPv6 adoption for your organization.

At the end of the session, participants will:
    * Understand the evolution, current status, and future direction of IPv6 deployment
    * Understand the drivers that have hindered IPv6 deployment and are now accelerating it
    * Learn what you can do to assess the immediate and long-term impact of IPv6 on your organization
    * Learn where to start experimenting with IPv6 equipment, software, and the existing international infrastructure
    * Learn what to do to be ready for IPv6 migration before it becomes an urgent need to do so
