In an effort to assist incoming freshmen, the Manhattan College Mathematics department is offering a week-long intensive course in pre-calculus to 26 new students in the Schools of Science and Engineering. The students, who scored mid-range on their math placement exams, will have the opportunity to take a pre-calculus final at the end of the week. Those who pass will be moved up to Calculus I in time for the start of the fall semester, an essential step to graduating on time for students in majors with rigorous math components. *** end quote *** [JR: Shame that the students don't come out of high school with what they need to succeed in life.

Simpler WIFI connection and network names. Last year, major upgrades to the campus WIFI network were implemented. Along with the upgrades, a number of wireless networks with varying features and configuration were implemented to allow users a choice of how they connect to JasperNet WIFI. The feedback: K.I.S.S (Keep it Simple) In preparation for the Fall 2012 semester, ITS has simplified the JasperNet WIFI configuration. All WIFI deployments conforming to "JasperNet WIFI 2.0" standards (802.11n) will be universally accessible by the single network "JASPERNET" (note the ALL CAPS). A companion network, "jaspernet-guest" will also be universally available across all JasperNet WIFI 2.0 locations providing campus visitors with some access to the Internet. Please see our network map for these locations. We've already begun to weed out any of the confusing additional network names, however, we will continue to support local WIFI networks with additional security features (such as dls-secure or hayden-secure). Additionally, in areas where JasperNet WIFI 2.0 is not yet available, 802.11a/b/g access will be provided by the legacy network names of "jaspernet" or "Jaspernet" (note the lower case). # - # - # - # - # 2012-Aug-26 @ 09:13 |

James is a recent graduate of Manhattan College where he got a degree in Chemical Engineering. He will be finishing off his Master's thesis this fall and then he'll be starting law school Fall of 2013. How does a chemical engineer, future lawyer get in to fashion one would ask? Well James has no idea but if you do, he'd love to hear! While he firmly believe that it is what's on the inside that is most important, it would be ignorant to pretend that what you wear has no effect on one's life. His fashion philosophy is simple: find what fits, find what you love, and find it cheap. Being so close to the Mecca of the fashion world, New York City, the styles of Manhattan College are changing constantly and are always on the cutting edge of what will hit big next, it's a microcosm of the fashion world. While he hopes his passion for photography and style have an influence on his campus, he is sure that they have an impact on him. *** end quote *** Breen, James [MC????] http://about.me/jamesbreen # - # - # - # - # 2012-Aug-28 @ 09:26 |

The marriage is a love story that crosses the Atlantic. A decade ago, in September 2002, Martin attended his cousin’s wedding in Mullingar, County Westmeath, in Ireland. Before the wedding, his mother told him he needed to look his best because he might meet his future wife there. Sure enough, Emer spotted Martin as the American at the wedding because of his tan khaki pants and white socks. On their first date, Martin’s bicycle broke and he had to hitch a ride on a tractor to Rochfortbridge to meet Emer who was waiting in a car with her mother. Seven years later, the couple was engaged at a beach on the Jersey shore. Martin is the son of Riverdalians Martin Galvin Sr., a prominent criminal defense attorney and well-known member of the Irish-American community. Martin’s mother is Carmel Galvin from Tyrrellspass, County Westmeath in Ireland. She works in the liver transplant unit at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx. Emer’s parents are Joe Larkin and Angela Larkin, who reside in Rahugh, County Westmeath, where they have a cattle farm. Martin was born in the Bronx and grew up in Kingsbridge and Riverdale. He graduated from Fordham Prep, Manhattan College and Notre Dame Law School. He worked as a prosecutor at the Bronx County D.A.’s Office, as a law clerk to Judge Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick of the New York State Court of Appeals and as an adjunct professor of Sociology and Spanish at Manhattan College. He now works as a court attorney to Judge Ralph Fabrizio in Bronx County Supreme Court.

Media studies expert and seasoned journalist Joe Cutbirth has been named assistant professor of communication at Manhattan College and adviser to the College’s student-run newspaper, The Quadrangle. Cutbirth will also teach a series of classes and critique the journalistic work of recipients of the College’s Quadrangle scholarship. “The Communication department is thrilled to have Joe Cutbirth aboard and is thrilled that he chose to come to Manhattan College to begin this next stage in his exceptional career,” said Thom Gencarelli, Ph.D., chair of the department. “Joe is among that rare breed in our discipline in that he has both a Columbia J-School Ph.D. (as well as a substantial body of academic research) and professional experience — having worked as both a journalist and a communication director and media consultant in Texas state politics.” Cutbirth will oversee the journalism major within the Communication department, and is teaching Introduction to Journalism, Advanced Reporting and Quadrangle I and II during the fall semester. As a political blogger for the Huffington Post since 2007, he regularly writes about politics and examines the social impact of mass media. He was a recurring analyst for Politics Live with Sam Donaldson and Rick Klein on ABC News Now during the 2008 presidential election. Cutbirth also served as the former communications director for the Texas Democratic Party, and worked for Gov. Ann Richards’ 1994 re-election campaign and the Clinton-Gore 1996 Texas coordinated campaign. Prior to working as a communication director, he reported on government and Texas politics for more than a decade, mainly for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. His work also has appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, The Texas Observer, Education Weekly, DogCanyon.org and Northwest Magazine. He was a contributing writer to the politics section of The Lonely Planet Phrase Book and a co-editor of Beaches, Bureaucrats and Big Oil: One Man’s Fight for Texas. Cutbirth completed his Ph.D. in communications from Columbia University in 2011, and has researched and published an assortment of books, chapters and journal articles on the increasingly complex relationship between satire and traditional journalism in presidential politics. An international speaker on the topic, Cutbirth is cited as an expert by The New York Times, British Broadcasting Corp., Canadian Broadcasting Corp., CBC, CTV and The Globe and Mail. Recently, Cutbirth was a visiting lecturer in the department of Media Studies at the University of Virginia during the 2011-2012 academic year. In the past, he has also taught at the University of British Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism, Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, New York University’s Department of Journalism, The New School’s Department of Media Studies, Rutgers University-Newark’s Department of Journalism and Media Studies, and Marymount Manhattan College’s Department of Communication Arts. He graduated from Georgetown University with an M.A. in communication and a B.A. in journalism from the University of Texas. “The fight for industry leadership this decade will be won by newsmen and newswomen with the energy and vision to use technology to double down on journalism as a social practice,” said Cutbirth, when reflecting on the state of journalism. “Technology is how we gather, package and deliver news, but the fundamentals of telling stories richly and precisely, and of giving people information they need to govern themselves and prosper in a global society, are more important than ever before.” Posted on August 29, 2012 # - # - # - # - # 2012-Aug-30 @ 18:55 |

I have been practicing orthodontics for 22 years and it is still a thrill for me to see a shy young patient blossom into a confident person as his or her smile transforms throughout treatment. Being an orthodontist is the best job in the world other than a rock star and I am grateful every day for the patients who trust me to treat them. My Education I graduated Manhattan College with a Bachelors of Science in Biology and then went to Columbia University School of Dental Medicine where I graduated first in my class with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. From there I obtained my orthodontic degree at Eastman Dental Center. I have won several prestigious awards during my academic career, including the Alpha-Omega Fraternity Award for Academic Achievement throughout my four-year course of study at Columbia. After graduation I practiced general dentistry in Westchester, Orange, and Sullivan Counties before entering orthodontics. *** and *** Something Personal I am married to my beautiful wife, Mary, who is a nurse and a Certified Dental Assistant. We have four boys, one of whom will be attending dental school at the University of Buffalo. When I’m not in the office I enjoy weight training, bicycling, and fishing. I am also a youth soccer and football coach. *** end quote *** # - # - # Skrobola, Michael [MC????] # - # - # - # - # Dear John, I believe that John is a member of the Class of 1982, Mike McEneney, Mike (MC1953) [JR: Thanks, Mike.

Peter Sweeney,'64 wrote: "Phil, Am always particularly troubled when one of our own is called home at such an early age. Mariela's death is more personal because I had her as a student in her final semester last spring. Mariela had the courage to step outside her comfort zone and take a course in marketing and finance for engineers.

2012-Sep-01MNEWS: External review for the MC history departmenthttp://www.hws.edu/dailyupdate/NewsDetails.aspx?aid=15743Hood Reviews Manhattan College Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2012 *** begin quote *** Professor of History and Paulsen Chair Clifton Hood recently served as an external reviewer for the history department of Manhattan College in Bronx, N.Y. Hood's primary research focuses on urban history and New York City - its elites and its vast transit system. The depth of his knowledge on the area brought a unique prospective to the review process. Hood visited the campus, and met with history department faculty and students as well as the provost and deans. "I met with many people individually so as to gain the most accurate perception of the situation as possible," explains Hood. "The goal is to make a contribution to the school and be able to provide a different way of seeing the department devoid of the internal politics." At the end of the process, Hood will write a report assessing the department and making recommendations. Departments can suggest things that they want the reviewer to endorse, for example Manhattan College's history department was looking to hire an urban historian and was hoping for Hood's endorsement. *** end quote *** [JR: Wonder if it gets published?

2012-Sep-01ENDNOTE: A senior saves the responding police with 165 yard pistol shothttp://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/08/14/citizen-shooter-saves-officer-with-amazing-shooting/Tuesday, August 14th, 2012 | Posted by Jim W. Dean Citizen Shooter Saves Officer with Amazing Shooting A 66 Year Old Texan Vic Stacey Puts Four 357 Magnum Pistol Rounds into a Killer Rifleman at 165 Yards “Any man in combat who lacks comrades who will die for him, or for whom he is willing to die, is not a man at all. He is truly damned.” …author/historian William Manchester, USMC, Goodbye Darkness. …by Jim W. Dean, VT Editor *** begin quote *** Charles Ronald Conner got into a dispute with a neighbor about his dogs. By the time it was over, the dogs, the neighbor and his girlfriend were all dead, shot with Conner’s 9mm. Conner then grabbed a lever action, scoped 30-30 rifle and took up a position to add a few of the responding police officers to the bad day he was having. Sgt. Means, the first responding officer, despite his having an AR-15 was pinned down in a bad position. Despite the distance Vic Stacey knew he had to take the clear right flank shot that he had with his 5″ barrel 357 magnum. Vic estimated he was 165 yards out. But as you are about to hear, that was not a problem for ole Vic. "His first round got the double murderer in the thigh and put him down, but the guy amazingly chambered another round and got a shot off at Vic that almost got him. Vic fired four more times, got four more hits as the officer got the range and finally killed the shooter." *** end quote *** Wow. That's more than a football field and a half. I'm not sure that I could make that shoot with a scoped battle rifle. In the Seventies maybe fresh out of boot. He's year older. Five for five. That's some shooting. For those that don't understand that an armed citizen is "the police". They can put the bad guy down long before the police get there to write the report. I find this story just amazing. The shooting aside, the man engaged a better armed younger man at an extreme distance to protect "comrades" in a fight. Stunning! Of course, this will never be reported in the Leftist Main Stream Media. # - # - # - # - # |
