2012-Sep-02JEMAIL: Apoldo, Lou (MC1963) doesn't want to carry a copJohn, your Endnote about the senior citizen who helped to take out an armed bad guy with some excellent 165-yard pistol shots provides more proof of why more decent citizens should be allowed to protect themselves and their community with concealed carry permits. Gun laws only seem to help the bad guys who violate the gun laws anyway, by making unarmed decent citizens easier victim targets for the illegally armed bad guys.Florida proved this recently by relaxing concealed carry laws for decent citizens, and the number of gun crimes dropped to almost half of what they used to be when unarmed decent citizens were easy prey for illegally armed bad guys. Now it is the bad guys who are in fear for their own safety in case the former victim is also armed and could blow away the bad guy. It all seems to add credibility to the saying "I carry a concealed weapon for protection, because a cop is too heavy!" Lou Apoldo MCE '63 # - # - # [JR: Well, 165 yards shots are not going to be the norm anytime soon. Least not from me. I particularly like what I call my VD quote. (VD is the keyboard macro I have for it. I have about 300.) “Victim disarmament is the view that it is somehow better to see a woman raped in an alley and strangled with her own pantyhose, than see her with a gun in her hand.” — T.D. Melrose. Someday "We, The Sheeple" will wake up and realize the Dead Old White Guys were very smart and the Gooferment ain't our friend! Just an obese lazy bad servant that needs tight supervision.] Apoldo, Lou (MC1963) # - # - # - # - # 2012-Sep-02 @ 09:05 |

2012-Sep-04MTWITTER: Third Annual Cardinal Newman Lecture on Sept. 12https://twitter.com/MCNewsRoom/statuses/242638130442801152"MCNewsRoom" tweeting as "@MCNewsRoom" tweeted: Manhattan College hosts Cardinal Newman Lecture on Sept. 12 with John Churchill, secretary of Phi Beta Kappa Society. http://bit.ly/S2HpCh http://www.manhattan.edu/news/manhattan-college-hosts-third-annual-cardinal-newman-lecture-sept-12 Manhattan College Hosts Third Annual Cardinal Newman Lecture on Sept. 12 The Newman Lecture series continues at Manhattan College with John Churchill, Ph.D., secretary of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, the oldest academic honorary society in the nation. John Churchill, Ph.D., secretary of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, America’s oldest and most widely recognized collegiate honor society, will present at the third annual Cardinal Newman Lecture at Manhattan College on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 4 p.m. in Hayden 100. His presentation, Saving America From Efficiency: The Primacy of Meaning in Higher Education, is free and open to the public. Churchill attended Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn., where he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and graduated in 1971 with a B.A. He had the opportunity to study as a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford, receiving one of the highest and most celebrated international fellowship awards in the world, and was later awarded a Ph.D. from Yale University in 1978. Having previously served as vice president for academic affairs and dean of the college at Hendrix College, Churchill was also a professor of philosophy and twice interim president of the college. In the 1970s, he worked as an assistant American secretary to the Rhodes Scholarship Trust, and has been active since that time in the selection of Rhodes Scholars. The Cardinal Newman Lecture was launched at Manhattan College in 2010 to celebrate Cardinal John Henry Newman’s beatification, which occurred on Sept. 19, 2010, in Birmingham, England, at a ceremony presided over by Pope Benedict XVI. The goal of the lecture series is to reaffirm the significance of the liberal arts as the core of undergraduate education. Cardinal Newman’s The Idea of a University stressed the central place of the liberal arts in the Catholic intellectual tradition, as well as education in the professions. Manhattan College is one of 280 institutions in the United States with a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, which celebrates and advocates excellence in the liberal arts and sciences.

2012-Sep-04JHQ: Beyer, Shane [MC2016] High School Running Star Recruited for the Milehttp://manhattan.edu/news/high-school-running-star-recruited-mileHigh School Running Star Recruited for the Mile Shane Beyer ’16 will balance track, cross country and academics this year at Manhattan. As the oldest of four, Shane Beyer ’16 has always been a role model. Now, this star athlete is on his way to begin a college career running NCAA Division 1 track and cross country for the Jaspers. Shane BeyerBeyer was recruited for the mile during high school and is thrilled to improve his running at Manhattan College. “I heard that college running is an experience in itself, and I’m looking forward to that,” Beyer says. “My friend who also runs for Manhattan had such a great experience and told me while I was considering the College, ‘your teammates are going to be your best friends for the next four years.’” “I expect Shane to compete for one of our top seven spots on the cross country team this year. He has had a good summer of base training that will help him improve off a strong high school career,” says Dan Mecca, head coach of the cross country and track and field teams at Manhattan College. “I’m sure Shane will also be a help to the track program from the mile to the 5000-meter events both this coming indoor and outdoor seasons.” The avid runner is not only a running enthusiast but also a former high school soccer and baseball player. Beyer took his passion for sports and started a blog for the Orleans Firebirds of the Cape Cod Baseball League, a summer league with some of the top college baseball players in the country. The Brick, N.J., resident has spent many summer vacations in Cape Cod, and was inspired to start the fan blog in 2008 because the team did not have much online coverage. “Once Twitter became popular, I made an account for my blog online and that was how it really took off,” Beyer says. The success of his Orleans Firebirds blog resulted in an opportunity to write for Boston Sports U18, a website that covers all Boston sports and recruits writers under age 18. Thanks to this position, he had the chance to sit in the press box at Fenway Park while covering a game for the Orleans Firebirds. Beyer attended Brick High School, was a member of the National Honor Society and also involved in the Christian Surfers Chapter of Manasquan, N.J. Initially he considered studying sports journalism in college, but after taking Advanced Placement physics during his junior and senior years, Beyer decided to pursue civil engineering at Manhattan. He looks forward to learning more about engineering in the coming year and, in particular, his introductory course this fall. “I want to learn how physics and calculus come together in engineering,” he adds. As he begins the year, Beyer is also excited for the new freedom and responsibilities of living with four suitemates, and the chance to visit midtown Manhattan frequently. And there’s no doubt this new Jasper will be found running the hills of Riverdale and the trails of Van Cortlandt Park come this fall.

2012-Sep-04JNEWS: Remigino, Lindy [MC1953] interviewedhttp://articles.courant.com/2012-07-28/sports/hc-jacobs-lindy-remigino-column-0727-20120727_1_lindy-remigino-medals-olympic-podiumThere Was Nobody Faster In 1952 Than Hartford's Lindy Remigino July 28, 2012|Jeff Jacobs Holding two Olympic gold medals in his 81-year-old hands, Lindy Remigino breaks into laughter. The medals show their age. The stories do not. The stories never grow old. "Look at these medals, I don't even know which one is which," said Remigino, who won gold in 1952 in the 100 meters and the 4x100-meter relay as a 5 feet 6, 138-pound kid from Hartford.They came without ribbon lanyards in those July days 60 years ago, and there is nothing on them to identify the events. The boxes that once held the medals are gone, chewed up by his five children when they were little. And while there might be nicks and chips on the fading gold-plated medals, there is something Father Time and his kids' bicuspids could never take away. "Once you're a gold medalist," Remigino said quietly in the living room of his Newington home, "you're a gold medalist forever." {Extraneous Deleted} OK, forget the NFL. There would be a scholarship to run at Manhattan College, erasing his fears that his education would end with making cardboard boxes. So sure, Lindy Remigino knew he was fast, but Olympic 100-meter gold medal fast? By the time 1952 rolled around few were betting on him after he took a fifth place in the NCAA 100 at Berkeley. "But I also was second at the trials behind Art Bragg and I was beating everybody in the workouts leading into the Games," Remigino said. He had arrived in Helsinki a few weeks before the Olympics on a first class flight, compliments of the New York Athletic Club. When the world's athletes arrived, however, they found themselves in different camps. This was the first Olympics for the Russians since 1912 and the Cold War was never colder. A separate Olympic Village, surrounded by barbed wire, was set up for the Eastern bloc athletes. A huge portrait of Stalin hung from one of the buildings. *** end quote *** # - # - # - # - # 2012-Sep-04 @ 17:45 |

2012-Sep-08JNEWS: Conte, Rich [MC????] has his 911 story told; worth the readhttp://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2012309080004&gcheck=1&nclick_check=1A 9/11 survivor's long journey from Ground Zero Saved only by acts of fate, Rich Conte of Stowe still carries the legacy of his firefighter brothers 6:52 PM, Sep 7, 2012 Written by David Goodman Free Press Correspondent *** begin quote *** STOWE — 8:47 a.m., September 11, 2001. American Airlines flight 11 crashes into the North Tower, One World Trade Center between the 90th and 100th floors. One minute later, an alarm goes off in the firehouse of Engine Company 33 and Ladder Company 9 in the East Village in Manhattan. Firefighters from Engine 33 scramble to board the red fire truck. Ladder 9’s firefighters roll out moments later. Engine 33’s night shift driver — the “chauffeur,” in firefighter’s parlance — had just asked Rich Conte to cover for him so that he could leave early to drop off his kid at day care. Firefighters routinely cover for one another, and Rich took over with little thought. Conte normally rode “the back step” of the rig as a regular firefighter at Engine 33, but he had been a chauffeur in another FDNY engine company for eight years so he knew the job well. It was the first act of fate for Rich Conte that morning. Conte jumped behind the wheel and began rolling the rig. He paused to ask Bobby King, one of Engine 33’s regular chauffeurs, if he wanted to take over driving, but Bobby waved him off and told Conte to keep going – King would ride the back step on this call. Another fateful turn. Conte gripped the wheel and skillfully maneuvered his large truck through the growing crush of traffic around the World Trade Center. He reached the site within minutes. As he was about to turn the corner to drop his men at the entrance to the North Tower, Lt. Kevin Pfeiffer, Engine 33’s officer, ordered him to stop and let the men out. Conte was surprised — he assumed he would deliver his crew to the front doors of the North Tower a half block away. But Lt. Pfeiffer was one of the best officers in the department — “he was definitely going to be a captain one day” — and Conte did as he was told. He set up his rig a half block from the building and started hooking up hoses. It was a third act of fate in a span of just a few minutes. A mere 48 minutes after it was hit, the 110-story South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed. Thirty eight minutes after that, the North Tower vanished in a vortex of white dust. Three firefighters from Ladder 9 and seven from Engine 33 died in the Twin Towers that day. Rich Conte was the lone survivor of the Engine 33 firefighters who responded. *** and *** Rich Conte grew up in Brooklyn. His father was a wedding photographer and his mother worked as a manager for Avon, the beauty products company. After graduating Brooklyn Tech high school, he worked as a disc jockey in nightclubs while attending Manhattan College and Brooklyn College part-time. He considered moving to Colorado to be a DJ and teach skiing, which he enjoyed. But in 1978, he decided to take the test to be a firefighter, thinking it might be an interesting job. In 1983, he was informed that he had passed the test. “I liked to climb trees — I was a tree hugger since I was a little kid. Where could you go and get paid to climb?” he says At age 29, Rich Conte became a New York City firefighter. He and his wife moved to a town near Newburgh, New York, where they had two kids. Conte would commute about 90 minutes to the city, where he would pull several 24-hour shifts per week. For 15 years, he worked in Engine 18, eight of them working as a chauffeur driving fire trucks and running the pumps. His interest in nutrition — he is a vegetarian, “the smallest club in the fire department,” he jokes – led him to work for two years in the health and fitness unit at FDNY headquarters, where he helped other firefighters improve their diet and exercise. In 2000, he decided to return to working on the back step and joined Engine 33, which occupies a beautiful Beaux Arts firehouse on Great Jones Street in the East Village that it shares with Ladder 9. *** end quote *** # - # - # [JR: Wow, a stunning story.

2012-Sep-08JNEWS: Nigrello, Bob [MC1977] NH candidate profiledhttp://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20120907-NEWS-209070362Jobs, economy top issue for Nigrello September 07, 2012 2:00 AM Name: Robert (Bob) Nigrello Age: 57 Address: 2 Pine Woods Road, East Kingston, NH 03827 Occupation: Lighting Sales for Osram Sylvania Education: Bachelor of Electrical Engineering, Manhattan College Public service/public office experience: East Kingston Planning Board- 3 years, East Kingston School Board- 5+ years, School Board Chair - 3 years SAU16 Joint Board - 5+ years. Compensation Committee Chair - 2 years Question #1: How would you restore civility to the Statehouse? Four hundred men and women are elected to apply their collective experience; knowledge and expertise to deliver meaningful legislative solutions. These solutions include; providing an environment for business to grow, efficient delivery of state services and excellent educational opportunities to all. In order to create real solutions, it is imperative that the members work towards common goals and go beyond both individual and party differences. I look forward to working with and learning from my colleagues to seek the best solutions. To quote Bill Belichick, "we need to do our jobs." Considering his theme and understanding that there cannot be civility without mutual respect, all members must be held to a "higher standard" and be fully accountable for their actions. Question #2: What is your opinion on expanded gambling in New Hampshire? The extensive final report from the May 2010 New Hampshire Gaming Study Commission suggests that New Hampshire would have a net benefit of $89 million in new revenue with an expanded gaming facility located in the southern part of the state. It is estimated that the construction of such a facility would take appromimately 18 months and the jobs created by this construction would result in a much needed "shot in the arm" to our construction industry. In addition once built it is estimated that another 2,100 new jobs would be needed to run the facility itself. Based on the Gaming Study I would support legislation to make VLT's or Casino Gaming a reality in New Hampshire. Question #3: What is the most important issue facing the Legislature this upcoming session and why? Jobs and our state economy in general must be the two priorities in the upcoming legislative session. As a primary goal for this session, the legislature must not only do everything in its power to reduce the state's current 5.2 percent unemployment rate, but it must also take measures to reduce underemployment. A healthy state economy provides jobs for our current and future work force and attracts the best and the brightest. It provides a work-atmosphere and job opportunities at all levels that will allow our young adults the opportunity to live, work and raise a family right here in New Hampshire. Question #4: What role could you play as a state legislator in improving the business climate in the state and restoring jobs for New Hampshire Citizens? Currently, New Hampshire is ranked sixth in the nation with an unemployment rate of 5.2 percent. In New England we have the second lowest unemployment rate, with Vermont at 4.7 percent unemployment rate being the lowest and Rhode Island's 10.9 percent being the highest. While there is no denying that we must still do better it is important to understand that New Hampshire continues to outperform most states in New England and the nation even in these tough economic conditions. Over the last six years we have seen the implementation of many new taxes —- followed by their reversal. It is imperative that the State legislature stabilize our tax structure and ensure that New Hampshire build on its "Business Friendly" image. By doing this business confidence will increase and business currently located in New Hampshire will be encouraged to expand and other businesses will be given another reason to move here. Since the unsustainable increases in the cost of health care continue to burden New Hampshire's economy and job growth, as a critical tie —in we must review all state policies related to health care, eliminate any that are unnecessary or duplicative, streamline those wherever possible and then do all that is possible to drive down health-care costs by fostering competition in all health related areas. # - # - # Nigrello, Bob [MC1977] # - # - # - # - # 2012-Sep-08 @ 08:46 |

2012-Sep-08ENDNOTE: Dolan's "dog whistle to all Catholics"http://www.irishcentral.com/story/news/periscope/cardinal-timothy-dolan-to-offer-closing-prayer-at-gop-convention-in-florida---- taking-sides-so-openly-in-presidential-election-is-not-a-very-smart-idea-167162855.html Periscope by Niall O'Dowd Cardinal Timothy Dolan to offer closing prayer at GOP convention in Florida -- Taking sides so openly in presidential election is not a very smart idea Posted on Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 08:06 AM *** begin quote *** Dolan claimed he was “speaking personally and not from a partisan point of view” and “not trying to be an apologist” for Ryan. He even praised Ryan’s “call for financial accountability and restraint and a balanced budget,” as well as his “obvious solicitude for the poor.” Dolan said, “I admire him. He’s honest. He’s refreshing. Do I agree with everything? No, but...I’m anxious to see him in action.” Dolan is the undisputed leader of the Catholic Church in America and this move puts that church squarely in the Romney camp in this election-- which is where they have no business belonging. This is a dog whistle to all Catholics out there to support the GOP candidates, Paul Ryan proposed budget cuts to the poor notwithstanding, which had been criticized by other bishops. Cardinal Dolan should really know better. *** end quote *** About time the clergy started to show some "huevos not so grand". On the Church's signature issue, abortion, which side should it support? And, Biden's a CINO! Why not stand for something? # - # - # - # - # |
