First, because his birthday was May 26. Second, because Father’s Day is coming up, and third, because he was in the military, and though he wasn’t lost in battle Memorial Day always held such a reverent place in our household. *** and *** 38. When he died, we got an outpouring of emails from old colleagues and classmates who described him as a mentor, confidant, and dear friend. *** and *** 52. He wore two rings that he never took off - his wedding band and his class ring from Manhattan College. *** and *** I love you, Pappy, and I miss you.

When I read that I noticed that, but charged it off to I was always spelling it wrong. Is it "Merton"? Maybe someone lifted it from the Cardinal's prepared text. Interesting.

Mangone “greed” by Brown, James J. (MC1970)

2012-Jun-03JEMAIL: Stebbins, Donald M. (MC1961) almost unhittable split fingered fastballs rather than softballsfrom: Stebbins, Donald M. (MC1961)to: jasperfjohn68 date: Sun, Jun 3, 2012 at 12:56 PM subject: Softballs and Public Health Dear Jasper John, I can not see what "softballs" I have served you when you have to resort to mentioning Mussolini in a discussion of governmental efforts to improve public health. A rule of thumb in any argument is that the first person to mention Hitler loses - Benito M comes close enough in my opinion. As far as immunizations go I have to conclude that your younger (~7 years) age let you escape from the great fears us older folks had regarding polio. The day I received my first Salk vaccine shot is one I remember dearly - and I celebrated with my fellow students at Manhattan at the time I could make a long long list of the horrors human greed has led to, including numerous wars, plagues, famines etc. But I will discuss only your mention of the totally false "scientific paper" linking vaccinations with autism - a case which demonstrates the evil of greed rather splendidly. Surely the profit motive played a major role in the author's vast deception, which ended up causing a myriad of problems around the world see http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/01/05/autism.vaccines/index.html The article says in part: "The series of articles launched Wednesday are investigative journalism, not results of a clinical study. The writer, Brian Deer, said Wakefield "chiseled" the data before him, "falsifying medical histories of children and essentially concocting a picture, which was the picture he was contracted to find by lawyers hoping to sue vaccine manufacturers and to create a vaccine scare." According to BMJ (British Medical Journal) , Wakefield received more than 435,000 pounds ($674,000) from the lawyers. Godlee said the study shows that of the 12 cases Wakefield examined in his paper, five showed developmental problems before receiving the MMR vaccine and three never had autism. "It's always hard to explain fraud and where it affects people to lie in science," Godlee said. "But it does seem a financial motive was underlying this, both in terms of payments by lawyers and through legal aid grants that he received but also through financial schemes that he hoped would benefit him through diagnostic and other tests for autism and MMR-related issues."" To use the baseball analogy I think I have delivered some almost unhittable split fingered fastballs rather than softballs - something like J. Santana's last pitch the other night in his no hit game. BTW I used my slide rule from Manhattan (joke) to calculate that the chances of going 8020 games without a no hitter is about 0.0066. The Mets then have a 99.34 % chance of having another no hitter in fewer than 8020 games over 50 years. Unfortunately the chances of Citfield and the rest of Long Island being strongly affected by Global Warming during that time frame is in the same ballpark. Sincerely , Donald M Stebbins BS 1961 PS I used the statistically derived probability of any game being a no hitter ( 0.000625 ) to calculate the Mets' odds. # - # - # - # - # FJohn68 responds: I used the liberal New York Times' praise for Benito and the "trains running on time" as an analog for the Gooferment claiming all sorts of things as benefits it has delivered. The point was that even if you attribute every possible benefit to Gooferment, it is STILL: immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. I think there a dedicated human beings, who give us great things, motivated by GREED or their own self-image, REGARDLESS, or maybe IN SPITE OF, the "help" that the Gooferment "gives". I didn't assign any validity to MANY mothers' belief that there is vaccine autism link. All I pointed out is that the Moms' belief is causing a DANGEROUS backlash against vaccination. The conflict of interest between Big Pharma and Big Gooferment, as seen in GARDASIL, makes them rightly suspicious. I lost a cousin to polio. So when the Salk vaccine was first out, all the youngster in the family were herded in ASAP. I continue to RANT that the Gooferment isn't the MEME we should be using. That meme relies on force; humans always react badly to being forced to do anything. Even if it is "good" for them. Even if they might actually do it if left to their own choices. Even if the alternative makes no sense. Like kid being told to eat his spinach versus emulating Popeye. Argh! By the way, with respect to your paradigm (i.e., what you perceive as unhittable) needs a shift. And I'm also sure that the Mets think they are as big a winner as the Yankees. Another paradigm error. I also still have my MC slide rule. K&E. In case, after the global meltdown, TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It), I have to design a rope bridge and need the load on an Kat--In--Nary curve. ROFL! (I paid big bucks for that slide rule. It lasted better than the equally big bucked Thomas' calc book!) Yeah, manmade global warming. Akin to the flies on the horse's tail makes it run slower cause of the added weight! Throw some more. Summer is a slow news month. ;-) So it's always hard to meet my quota of 2 reportable items per day minimum. fjohn68 # - # - # - # - # 2012-Jun-03 @ 14:26 |

2012-Jun-08JNEWS: Yu, Michelle [MC2001] with a powerful quotehttp://www.examiner.com/article/legacy-and-tomorrow-meet-at-latest-sny-play-ball-grant-ceremony-1SNY Play Ball grant presented by Citibank June 8, 2012 Legacy and Tomorrow meet at latest SNY Play Ball Grant Ceremony Stacy Podelski New York Mets Examiner *** begin quote *** Yu, who has served as an SNY anchor and motivational speaker during the Citi Field Kids program, was on hand to share her experiences with the 6-12 year olds, who are continuing in a fine tradition of trailblazers. “It is wonderful to see that these girls are out here, it is a tribute to them. It already show me that they are young that they are trying to do better and trying to utilize the opportunities that they are being given,” Yu said. “When I was a kid I was given a similar opportunity, I didn’t play softball-but I did manage to learn how to play tennis.” Michelle continued to say about her playing career, “I was able to play collegiately (at Manhattan College) and was able to do that from a free community tennis program with the New York City Parks Foundation. It is a sport that still lives on with me, and that is why I think it is really important for little girls to get involved with sports, because it can be something that they can have with them for a lifetime.” Two traits that can be learned on the field are determination and mental toughness, which are vital characteristics in a world that can sometimes be filled with negativity. “I feel that in life you are going to have a lot of uphill battles and if one person tells you that you can’t do something you need to tell them to ‘Shut the front door’ because you are capable of doing anything you put your mind too,” Yu told Examiner.com as her message for those going after their dreams. “As long as you work hard and are determined you will persevere.” *** end quote *** Yu, Michelle [MC2001] [JR: Great Brother Jasper's ghost! We have some impressive and smart fellow alums. I'm humbled. And, I already had some much to be humble about.] # - # - # - # - # 2012-Jun-08 @ 20:55 |

2012-Jun-09ENDNOTE: Will the "values" vote?http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=D9vQt6IXXaMThis came in from a Jasper. I think. I'm a lousy clerk. It came in from an email account I think has a Jasper on the other side of the glass. "A great ad by the Roman Catholic Church." I asked for a confirmation. But, regardless of authorship, it makes an excellent point. Will "catholics" rally to defend the First Amendment? I'm no saint. I'm sure of that! I'm no patriot. I hope that, like brave men and women in history — Franz Jägerstätter comes to mine — I can stand tall when needed? I'm not even a good "activist". If I was, I'd be with the libertarian patriots in Keene NH working to create a "tipping point" in one small state. Regardless of how "pure" a "catholic" you are or you think you are, this is going to be big "tipping point" imho! # - # - # - # - # |
