POSITRACTION: Saving a humpback whale

[JR: 8 minutes of joy. You have to admire a bunch of folks who spent a hour of hot, hard, and dangerous work to save a whale. Admirable! Heroic. And, strangely human.]

[JR: LinkedIn has stopped giving me new, or updated, Jasper profiles. Unless it restarts or I figure something out, those LinkedIn items will dry up.

Pope’s prayer intentions for August 2011
July 29, 2011
*** begin quote ***
The Vatican has released the prayer intentions of Pope Benedict XVI for August 2011.
The Pope’s general intention is: “That World Youth Day in Madrid may encourage young people throughout the world to have their lives rooted and built up in Christ.”
His missionary intention is: “That Western Christians may be open to the action of the Holy Spirit and rediscover the freshness and enthusiasm of their faith.”

[JR: I find this interesting in that the Head Man can communicate his thoughts around the globe at amazing speed at virtually zero cost. Thus demonstrating the “flattening effect” of the internet on hierarchies. We now returning you to our regular broadcast. See what happens if you don’t write stuff in. I “pontificate”. Pun intended.]

Then it was explained to me by a very smart lady in the admissions office that these were really MC ads. Parents of high schoolers would read these and know the person and compare to their child. Then, MC would get expression of interest from that area. Free advertising. So let's help, if you know anyone in Reading, then forward it along. Create buzz. It's all about butts in the seats. imho]

A recent study shows that most “poor” have multiple TVS ( we didn’t get one for many years), refrigerators, cellphones and many other gadgets. I’ll forward the study if I can find it.

Let her give the child up for adoption if she doesn’t want to keep the child. A woman does have the right to control over her own body. I have a question for you. How did she get with child? Did she lose control? After losing control, does she now want to reassert it at the cost of the life of the child. Before you bring out your trump card regarding rape or incest, let me ask you if you support capital punishment for rapists and those who commit incest? If not, why among the three do you chose to kill the most innocent?
(2) You bought food for your fellow man? You gave to the least of your brethren? You BASTARD! Do you realize you could be putting a bureaucrat out of work? How can we survive as a nation without the waste, fraud, and mismanagement? You are a cruel, cruel man.

Stebbins #2
Dear Jasper Stebbins. With regard to Hitler, may I remind you that he was the head of the National SOCIALISTS, he wasn’t a conservative, nor a capitalist. He did abolish the unions, only to replace them with his union. He banned private ownership of guns. Once he consolidated power, he was a dictator. By the way, he was able to come to power because the German government couldn’t stop printing money.
With regard to Fannie and Freddie, it took a whole chapter in my book to lay this out, including refuting your cherry picked remarks. I won’t bore the readers with that kind of recap. For those who are interested the book is called Liberty’s Lifeline. Your position is akin to saying that building a wall of separation between the FBI and the CIA had nothing to do with 9/11 because no one from the FBI or the CIA were riding on the planes.

[JR: A nuance of difference, between my thoughts and O'Connell, Bill (MC1976), is that I don't want to empower the Gooferment to kill women and doctors who abort babies. I'd rather have them all be persuaded by us having all sorts of better ways to deal with "unwanted issues". We should have a national registry of childless couples who would gladly take these babies. Sigh! There are so many better ways to deal with all sorts of things than giving the Gooferment, politicians, and bureaucrats guns to initiate force on those unfortunate enough to fall afoul of their diktats. Abortion is an interesting topic because the DoI says "right to life". (Was Jefferson inspired?) So when does a human being get those rights that we all agree that they have?]

York, Pa. – For the second time in a week and for the eighth time since spring training began, the York Revolution is losing one of their top contributors to a Major League organization. The team has announced the contract of left-handed starting pitcher Chris Cody has been purchased by the Atlanta Braves.
*** and ***
Originally drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the eighth round out of Division I Manhattan College in 2006, 2011 is Cody’s sixth professional season. A trade from Detroit to the Milwaukee Brewers in 2007 saw him ascend as high as Triple-A Nashville in Milwaukee’s system. Coming into this season, Cody’s career ERA stood at an excellent 3.03 in 104 games and 94 starts, and his career strikeout to walk numbers are even more impressive, with 525 punch-outs against just 151 free passes through Saturday. This season, Cody struck out 78 batters and walked only 18 in 18 starts for the Revolution.

# – # – #
The key paragraphs are:
The point of all this is not to argue that there aren’t people in this country living in poverty. There are. And those truly in need deserve a helping hand. But the good news is that the problem isn’t as widespread or as chronic as we’re led to believe. We wind up wasting money when we pretend otherwise.
In addition, we fuel the anti-American propaganda spread by countries such as Russia and China, who accuse the United States of human-rights violations. Why? Because they claim that the millions of Americans classified as poor are enduring a life of desperate poverty — “like a third world nightmare,” as the Russia Today TV network once put it.
The average poor household in the U.S. isn’t living the high life. But it’s also not the dust-bowl existence pictured in John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath,” or the dramatic “Two Americas” picture painted by John Edwards. As scholar James Q. Wilson notes, “The poorest Americans today live a better life than all but the richest persons a hundred years ago.”
# – # – #
[JR: My particular favorite is when some politician gets up and lectures "We, The Sheeple" on poor "now" and "ten years ago". They make the implication that it is the same people. Most economists point out that in the USA those populations are fluid. And, based on stats that were not taken for that purpose (i.e., household income). And, ignores the fact that in different stages of life, finances are very different. Argh! Donna Nobis Pacem ]

JOBIT: Corballis, Paul T. [MC1956 RIP]
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/stamfordadvocate/obituary.aspx?n=Paul-Corballis&pid=152856427Paul T. Corballis
PAUL T. CORBALLIS, age 77 of Danbury, died in Danbury Hospital, July 31, 2011.
He was born in Yonkers, N.Y. January 5, 1934 to Charles, a dentist and Anne (Sullivan), a homemaker and Yeoman F in the U.S. Navy during World War I. Paul was the youngest of four children. He attended Sacred Heart School in Yonkers until 8th grade. He was an altar boy at Sacred Heart as well as an Eagle Scout.
Paul graduated from Manhattan Prep High School and went on to Manhattan College with the aim of teaching math, but switched to business administration, earning a MBA at night school. He was a member of Sigma Beta Kappa Fraternity, serving a year as national president.
Mr. Corballis began his working career as house photographer with Johns Manville. In 1960, he joined Pitney Bowes and enjoyed more than 20 years there, eventually becoming Director of Personnel for the UK and Europe and was based in the English office from 1977 to 1982. After leaving Pitney Bowes, he went into partnership with member of Parliament (now Lord) Robin Corbett. Paul loved living in England and became the leading expert on the signage designating the name of pubs in England. He had a book published in the UK entitled Pub Signs. The book explored the beauty, history and artistry of these signs.
Upon his return to the U.S. in 1987, Paul ran Eagle Travel in Danbury until his retirement. His love of travel made this the perfect occupation for him and allowed him to continue his passion of traveling the world. His English experience led to a specialty in pub tours (possibly only groggily remembered by some participants). In his later years, Paul was heavily involved in the Kiwanis organization where he served as president twice. He was a hard worker and always gave his all to whatever job he was doing. Paul was a gifted amateur photographer and painter. He enjoyed restoring furniture and houses.
He is survived by four children, Laura Corballis of Bristol, UK, MeighanDutt of Newtown and Paul Corballis and Kieran Corballis, both of Charlottesville, Va. His is also survived by his big brother and best friend, Ben Corballis of Wilmington, Del; as well as four grandchildren, Emily, Colin and Jack of Newtown and Macie of Charlottesville. Additionally, he is survived by his dear friends and sometime chauffeurs, Bill and Joan Boehm of Danbury.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in St. Rose of Lima Church, 46 Church Hill Road, Newtown Thursday August 4, 2011 at 12noon. Interment will be private. Friends may call in the Honan Funeral Home, 58 Main Street, Newtown Wednesday from 5 to 8 p.m. Paul’s faith was central to his life. His family requests that no flowers be sent, but instead a small contribution in memory of Paul be sent to Covenant House, Times Square Station, P.O. Box 731, New York, NY 10108-0900 or www.covenanthouse.org. To leave an online condolence go to www.honanfh.com.

JEMAIL: Stebbins, Donald M (MC1961) calls Acton “libertarian”
Dear Jasper John,Re Your Article on the Religious/Libertarian Acton Institute
Giving to an ineffective charity is a mortal sin? The Acton Institute article asserted that it was a mortal sin to give to a charity that was ineffective because it misdirected time, attention, resources, and behaviors. Good heavens does that mean that Catholics who gave money to churches that were covering up sexual abuses by clergy and using contributions to buy silence from victims were themselves committing mortal sins? It wasn’t bad enough to find that their donations had gone to cover up criminal behavior- now they are told they were involved in serious sin by not checking the soundness of the churches they were giving to.
It seems to me that the Acton Institute operates on principles yielding very strange results, They say it is fine to participate in an economy that gives millions to some and nothing to others, deprives many of decent wages and health care, and leaves many hard working people in poverty, but you’d better check your charities closely or risk your immortal soul if you give to the wrong one, like maybe the United Fund. Now I have seen everything.
BTW, the Acton institute appears to be quite selective when quoting Pope Benedict. The pope criticizes the ‘cruelty’ of capitalism In a 2007 book “Jesus of Nazareth”. Benedict XVI decries power of the rich over the poor and criticizes the ‘cruelty’ of capitalism and colonialism.
Sincerely yours,
Donald M Stebbins

[JR: Sigh. Just when I thought we were making progress.
<1> I don't thing that the Acton Institute is "libertarian". I think it is safe to say that all "libertarians" disavow the initiation of force. Since the Acton Institute advocates "government" to some degree, it ain't "libertarian". Like a CINO, advocating abortion, ain't "catholic".
<2> Yes, imho, if you do "evil", then that's pretty bad. Wasting the talents that the Lord gives you is serious business.
<3> Maybe, depending upon who knew what when. But that's far above my pay grade. The motes in my eyes are big enough for me to deal with. Public scandal by CINOs is too big to overlook.
<4> Too many people throw money and not give their time and attention to what is going on. When the first payoffs became public, there should have been riots in the streets. This scandal has (imho) killed the American Catholic Church and possibly the Irish one as well. And, it is fundamental in why the Church didn't fight the Gooferment killing Catholic education.
<5> The "economy" doesn't "give" any one any thing. The free market, which we don't have a lot of, allows free people to exchange goods and services. Helping each other. Cooperating due to "greed" (i.e., if I pursue my best interest, then in a perverse way I have to make you happy). We don't have "free markets" today; we have crony capitalism and Gooferment run amok. It's immoral to call those on the dole — corporate fat cats, politicians, and bureaucrats — "hard working". And, it's also immoral what Gooferments, here and abroad, do to real human beings. Under the guise of helping them. "Decent wages" is "Secular Progressive" code for "minumum wage laws" that deprive people of opportunity. "Health care" is "Secular Progressive" code for the Gooferment's finger in every aspect of human life from birth to death with suitable regulations and payoffs. Mother Teresa couldn't open in NYC because the building didn't have elevators; it's not about helping, but payoffs.
<6> I won't give to United Way because of it's high salaries to executives. Same as Red Cross. I'd rather write a check to HomeFrontNJ where, last time I checked, the three full time employees get less than 40k per year. And two of them are drivers.
<7> I'm not qualified on Papal writings; i'm just a fat old white guy injineer. But, the Church does seem to echo a lot of "social justice" from the "Secular Progressives". Unfortunately, I think they confuse what we have today with Free Market Capitalism which allows the division of labor and peaceful trade.
Sigh! ATDA.]

JHQ: five-day We Remember series of events
http://news.yahoo.com/manhattan-college-commemorate-10th-anniversary-9-11-tribute-193606617.htmlManhattan College to Commemorate the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 with a Tribute – Sept. 7-11
Former Mayor Giuliani to speak at We Remember event on Sept. 9
Riverdale, NY (PRWEB) August 02, 2011
To mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Manhattan College is presenting a five-day We Remember series of events, Wednesday, Sept. 7 through Sunday, Sept. 11 to pay tribute to the victims of the tragic attacks. The events include: a memorial ceremony, a panel presentation by graduates of the College, a faculty teach-in, a campus-wide service day on Sept. 10 in honor of the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, an act signed by President Obama in 2009 officially designating Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance, and a memorial Mass. The College will also introduce an exhibition at the Mary Alice and Tom O’Malley Library during the week to commemorate the fallen Manhattan College alumni.
“On Sept. 11, 2001, the College lost 20 graduates and scores of relatives and friends of our extended community; in honor of them, their families and all of the other victims, the College is hosting the We Remember series,” said Brennan O’Donnell, Ph.D., president of Manhattan College.
On Sept. 7, the panel discussion and first We Remember event will be held from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in Smith Auditorium with Francis Lombardi, the former chief engineer for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, moderating the event. Michael Burton ’84, former executive deputy commissioner for the New York City Department of Design & Construction and current senior vice president and national operations manager for the LiRo Group; Eugene McGrath ’63, retired chairman and chief executive officer for Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.; George J. Tamaro ’59, former partner and current consultant for Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers; and Richard Tomasetti ’63, consultant for Thornton-Tomasetti; are among the featured panelists who assisted in the immediate constructive response in the aftermath of 9/11. The panelists will explain the challenges they and the city faced, and what that experience has meant to them over the past decade.
“The panel will help to inform our students, who were 8-12 years old on 9/11, of how knowledge, expertise, and professional training–as well as strength of character and dedication–helped to put the city and the nation on a course of rebuilding,” added O’Donnell.
The faculty teach-in on Sept. 8 will include Manhattan College faculty from multiple disciplines examining and presenting the impact of the events of 9/11 on certain aspects of American life from 4 to 5 p.m. in Smith Auditorium. Daniel Collins, Ph.D., director of the recently established Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) and associate professor of English, will moderate the event, which will analyze how various authorities, from politicians to media pundits, claimed that American culture and politics would never be the same after 9/11. In addition, the faculty will address the questions: what has changed; what has taken place over the last ten years, in specific areas of life, through the lens of particular academic specialties; and what have we learned and how have we grown?
The We Remember series continues with the commemorative service on Sept. 9 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Chapel of De La Salle and His Brothers with The Honorable Rudolph W. Giuliani ’65, former Mayor of New York City and chairman & chief executive officer for Giuliani Partners, as the featured speaker. In addition, two Manhattan College students will read from “The Guys,” an off-Broadway play by Anne Nelson about a writer working with a fire captain to draft eulogies for firefighters who perished in the World Trade Center. The names of the fallen Manhattan College alumni will also be read aloud.

JHQ: 2011 Men’s Retreat Weekend 9/16-18
http://www.manhattancollegeretreat.info/Main.aspx2011 Men’s Retreat Weekend
for alumni and friends of Manhattan College
Would you like to be joyful? Would you like to be blessed?
For most Christians, the answer would be a resounding ‘Yes!’ Well, you are in luck. This year’s retreat theme is The Beatitudes – An Everlasting Guide for the Christian Life. In the ‘Sermon on the Mount’ recorded in Matthew 5:1-12, Jesus teaches the crowd highlighting many categories of people who may be blessed – poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and He encourages us to rejoice and be glad.
Surely you fall into at least one of these groupings and should therefore ‘be joyful’. If you’d like to discover more reasons why you are blessed by God, please join us for this year’s retreat at the Bishop Molloy Retreat House in Jamaica Estates, Queens, NY. There you will have ample opportunities for fellowship with men like yourself, many of whom have been attending our annual retreats year after year.
In fact, 2011 commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Reality Retreat, which was started by a group of Manhattan College alumni and friends, many of whom worked in business settings in NYC, who were seeking a way of strengthening their faith and bridging that faith from Sunday Mass into the start of the workweek on Monday morning. This year also represents the tenth year anniversary of our 2001 retreat, which took place a mere week or so following the tragic happenings of September 11th. We will dedicate some reflection time to remember our brothers, friends, colleagues and family members who lost their lives on that infamous morning.
Our weekend will feature great speakers, delicious food, enriching fellowship and camaraderie, and opportunities to partake in the sacraments of Reconciliation, Anointing and the Eucharist. Past speakers have woven their personal witness stories together with the annual theme, inspiring our attendees.
Again, we hope that you will plan to join us at this year’s retreat.
September 16-18, 2011
(Friday 6:00 p.m. to Sunday 12:00 noon)
Bishop Molloy Passionist Retreat House
86-45 Edgerton Blvd., Jamaica Estates, Queens, NY 11432

Sowell: The Most Misleading Words Used In Politics
By Thomas Sowell August 3, 2011 6:25 am
*** begin quote ***
If there were a contest for the most misleading words used in politics, “poverty” should be one of the leading contenders for that title.
*** and ***
It is one thing to keep people from suffering from unforeseeable things beyond their control. But it is something else to simply subsidize their necessities so that they can spend their money on other things and leave a larger estate to be passed on to their heirs.

[JR: Doctor Dans, Thanks. Sowell is one of my favorites; he always seems to put a laser on issues. But you'll probably generate a lecture from Stebbins, Donald M (MC1961) about being "mean spirited" and "hard hearted". I just want everyone to be "wealthy" and that's in the eye of the beholder. Hard times are coming again due to the Gooferment, politicians, and bureaucrats. They make us ALL poor.]

MANHATTAN COLLEGE EDUCATION STUDENTS GAIN REAL-LIFE TEACHING EXPERIENCE IN AFRICA
RIVERDALE, N.Y. –– Eight Manhattan College education students recently returned from a two-week service trip to Windhoek, Namibia after teaching and helping to prepare future lesson plans for more than 120 children at an after school program. Accompanied by four faculty members, the students (six seniors and two juniors) applied skills they had received in their own education courses, and organized age-appropriate lessons and games to enhance the learning of children with limited resources and overcrowded classrooms.
“I think this experience increased our students’ confidence because their level of knowledge about what to do and how to approach things was tremendous, and everyone else was depending on them, asking for advice, watching them and seeing how well they were able to manage a classroom,” said Karen Nicholson, Ph.D., associate professor of education, and one of the faculty members who attended the trip. MaryBeth Gallagher, co-director of the Centre and a New York native, was also impressed by the students’ professionalism, and grateful because the students prepared lesson plans for when they left to facilitate a smoother transition for the children.
The group from Manhattan College departed on May 31 to travel to Namibia and volunteer at the Bernhard Nordkamp Centre, which in addition to academic enrichment and support, also provides athletic, cultural, social and craft opportunities. The Bernhard Nordkamp Centre is part of Catholic Aids Action and occupies premises in Katutura owned by the Catholic Church in Namibia. The Centre is committed to helping children enroll in school and thrive in the classroom as a way to combat the effects of poverty.
“The Manhattan College students also visited a Christian school and a public school during the trip, and were able to see firsthand the different academic experiences that Namibian students were receiving,” added Nicholson. “Since the country of Namibia is only 21 years old and the ministry of education is very young, the implementation and structure is evolving.”
“Volunteering in Namibia was the most incredible and humbling experience,” said Christina Ferrari ’12. “We were able to help Namibian children get excited about learning while being completely immersed in a different culture, and I don’t think any of us will ever forget those two life-changing weeks.”

Well, the debt crisis is all over for now. Still, it bears examining the lies and distortions of true Christianity by the so-called Christian Left in their attempt to hijack the Church in service to the socialist agenda to keep borrowing and spending into a black hole.
Check out Fr. Sirico, who understands actual Church Social Teaching better than the faux Catholic Left and their Jim Wallis allies do. He takes them apart.

Fr. Sirico in NRO: The Church as the Bride of Caesar
Posted on 29 July 2011 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf
National Review Online a couple days ago had a great piece by Fr. Robert Sirico of Action Institute.
The Church as the Bride of Caesar
July 27, 2011 4:15 P.M.
By Fr. Robert A. Sirico
It is telling that the Washington Post report on the religious Left’s Circle of Protection campaign for big government describes the effort as one that would “send chills through any politician who looks to churches and religious groups as a source of large voting blocs,” because, in fact, this is not an honest faith-inspired campaign to protect the “least of these” from Draconian government cuts, as claimed. It is a hyper-political movement that offers up the moral authority of churches and aid organizations to advance the ends of the Obama administration and its allies in Congress.

[JR: As requested. I led with the link so that folks could read it on their own. ]
[JR: Personally, I think this "Circle of Protection" is more ASTROTURF "barbara streisand". Like the psudo anti-war left of the Bush era. Where did they disappear to? Libertarians are staunchly anti-war and I was deluded into thinking that the anti-war leftists were really anti-war. Turns out, like the Clinton days, they are only anti-war when the wrong party is in the White House. Sorry, but fool me once. So like the anti-war, Gooferment "Charity" is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. And, the Gooferment redefining marriage so as it can pick winners and losers for wealth redistribution is a symptom of the mess we've gotten into. Frankly, the only way I see out of it is, like the USSR, is for it to break into smaller pieces and start over. Secession. Yes, and the big question is will the USA let go peacefully? In some NH conversations I had recently, secessionist were asking: "Would the Feds roll tanks into NH? And what would the Sheeple do?" Something is coming. We had economic malaise from the Sixties to the Eighties; looks like we are there again. Argh! ]

Art Law: Boston Museum of Fine Arts: Sues Heirs of Jews To Keep Stolen Property, Hides Evidence
*** begin quote ***
Let’s make it clear: just because a federal judge says heirs have no legal rights to obtain the return of property because the claims are time-barred, doesn’t mean property wasn’t stolen. To unpack that double-negative, if a judge says heirs can’t find out and prove that a painting was stolen because their claims are time-barred, the museum is granted a windfall: a potentially-stolen artwork that no one can reclaim.
