POSITRACTION: Major league baseball dream

Guilford Native Gets Second Chance at MLB
Guilford native was hit in the head during his first and only at bat in the major leagues.
By LeAnne Gendreau | Thursday, Sep 27, 2012 | Updated 10:09 AM EDT

*** begin quote ***

Adam Greenberg’s major league baseball dream came true on July 9, 2005 and ended moments later when he was hit in the head by a 92-per-mile per hour pitch.

But after a nationwide push, the 31-year-old Guilford native is getting one more chance. It will be with the Miami Marlins, the team he was batting against when he was hit. The team was then the Florida Marlins.

Greenberg, who now lives in Branford, spoke exclusively with the Today Show on Thursday and has been offered a one-day contract to play for the Marlins on Tuesday, Oct. 2 against the New York Mets.

[JR: Bad things happen; good things happen. I guess it all balances out in the end. Like that legendary story, about the Kings who asks for advice. "This too shall pass." Both bad and good. Have to surf the emotional waves. Nothing is SO good; nothing is SO bad. Just stay balanced.]

ADMINISTRIVIA: New "where is waldo" "feature".

Ever played where in the world is waldo in the newspaper?

Waldo, the beloved children's story character, (although I don't know why), is "hidden" in a picture of a grazillion look a likes. The child, or adult seeking to avoid Alzheimer's or boredom, is supposed to find Waldo.

In the Jasper Jottings version, I've found a tantalizing fragment of a Jasper, usually on LinkedIn, but unable to locate (usually quickly) the full public profile. (I have no reason to pay LinkedIn's subscription fees. This was not the deal when they first started. But they too succumbed to the financial pressure and changed their t's and c's. Any wonder I don't TRUST any free service. So many have gone the same way. Plaxo springs to mind.

SO rather than waste a good fragment. I'll post them under the category WALDO.

First person to discover the Jasper and places the "ppop" -- the name, the link, and how you found it -- in the comment field for the post wins a "J". Next time they win an "A". First person to spell out JASPER, I'll buy a beer at my convenience.

Jaspers, who work for LinkedIn, like Bart, or who are headhunters with the recruiter LinkedIn package at work, or work for MC with access to the "official" alumni database, can play but … really … what's the point. Like taking an exam, knowing the answers.

We should give applause to those who are innovative.

Care to play?

First one coming up.

Death Notice

Lenihan, Sr., William

William O. Lenihan, Sr., 79, of Delray Beach, FL and formerly of New Canaan, CT died peacefully on October 12, 2012 at Norwalk Hospital, surrounded by his children and grandchildren.

He was born on March 24, 1933 to Denis and Della Lenihan, in New York City, and grew up in the Inwood section of Manhattan. Mr. Lenihan graduated from Power Memorial Academy at the age of 16 and earned his B.B.A. from Manhattan College in 1953. He subsequently earned four more degrees, including an LLB, LLM and JD from Georgetown University Law School, where he was on Law Review, and an MS from Pace University. He was admitted to the bars to practice law before the court in New York State, the District of Columbia, U.S. Court of Appeals 2nd Circuit, and the U. S. Supreme Court. After serving a clerkship with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Mr. Lenihan served 23 years as Senior Vice President, Vice President, General Counsel, Treasurer or Controller at Grolier, Pfizer, Stauffer Chemical and Citicorp before starting his private law practice. He also served as a judge and lectured internationally. Mr. Lenihan enlisted in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War and served more than 30 years in the Marine Corps Reserves. He retired with the rank of Colonel in 1984 and received a Citation for Meritorious Service.

Mr. Lenihan and his late wife, Marion C. Lenihan, moved to New Canaan in 1971 where they raised their nine children over the course of nearly 40 years. An active member of the community, he was involved in coaching youth sports, the Senior Men's Club, the YMCA, and the Waveny Care Network. He was a fixture on the basketball and tennis courts and regularly played golf and racquet ball through his seventies. He competed in the Senior Olympics for many years, earning numerous medals in tennis, volleyball and basketball. He was a lifetime member of the New York Athletic Club and had been a member of Woodway Country Club since 1986.

Known for his bright mind, quick wit, commanding presence, and active involvement, Mr. Lenihan will be greatly missed. He is survived by his nine children and their spouses: Juneann and John Hooks, William O. and Kathleen Lenihan, Jr., Richard and Dorinda Lenihan, Robert and Carol Lenihan, Janemarie Lenihan, Gregory Lenihan, Linda and Peter Wood, Laura and Andrew Kenny, and Michelle Lenihan. He is also survived by his seventeen grandchildren.

JHQ: 16 Recipients of James Patterson Scholarships

http://www.manhattan.edu/news/manhattan-college-selects-16-recipients-james-patterson-scholarships

Manhattan College Selects 16 Recipients of James Patterson Scholarships

Eight juniors and eight seniors were selected as the 2012 recipients of scholarships created by award-winning author James Patterson ’69.

Since the establishment of 16 James Patterson Scholarships was first announced in May, thanks to the generosity of award-winning author and alumnus James Patterson ’69, Manhattan College has reviewed the applications of several hundred students. The College is pleased to report that eight juniors and eight seniors from various disciplines were recently selected to receive the scholarships for the 2012-2013 academic year.

Patterson started the scholarship program as a way to recognize and reward the academic achievement and leadership potential of Manhattan students. The 16 recipients were chosen based on merit, need and involvement in activities related to the College’s mission, and all exemplify hard work, determination and leadership in the classroom and within the campus community.

The scholarship recipients include:

Giuliana Addesso, junior, secondary education (Yonkers, NY)
Morgan A. Maclearie, junior, special and elementary education (Toms River, NJ)
Claire C. Miksad, junior, elementary education (Ridgefield, CT)
Maria A. Sanzari, junior, special and elementary education (North Haven, CT)
Eric Scattaretico, junior, special and elementary education (Yorktown Heights, NY)
Justin M. Vento, junior, chemical engineering (Lincroft, NJ)
Kathleen P. White, junior, history and peace studies (Keansburg, NJ)
Kathryn E. Wojtkiewicz, junior, philosophy and English (Lancaster, NY)
Walaa K. Abdallah, senior, chemical engineering (Yonkers, NY)
Marianna Belfiore, senior, elementary education (Howard Beach, NY)
Lauren M. Buckheit, senior, allied health (Bayport, NY)
Dimitri E. Mezidor, senior, finance and global business studies (Bridgeport, CT)
Clare E. O’Connell, senior, elementary education (Fairfield, CT)
Jeanette D. Settembre, senior, communication (Yorktown, NY)
Nicole M. Vacca, senior, communication (Bronx, NY)
Colleen E. Walsh, senior, secondary education (Baltimore, MD)

“The scholarship program will support students whose success thus far gives promise of extraordinary accomplishment, leadership and service,” Patterson said. “My hope is that this recognition will encourage these talented young men and women to continue their good work, and inspire them to go out after graduation to make a real difference in their communities.”

The scholarship program will support students whose success thus far gives promise of extraordinary accomplishment, leadership and service. James Patterson

In its first year, the scholarship program will award all 2012-2013 recipients with $5,000 each. During the 2013-2014 academic year, Patterson will increase the scholarships from 16 to 18, and recognize eight juniors and 10 seniors with awards. In addition next year, four of the senior scholarship recipients will be awarded $7,500 each based on essay submissions about their personal contributions made to the College throughout their junior year.

“The students selected as recipients of the new Patterson scholarships are our future leaders,” said Brennan O’Donnell, Ph.D., president of Manhattan College. “They are young men and women who are excelling both in their coursework and through their contributions to our community and our mission.”

In addition to the James Patterson Scholarships, Patterson currently funds the James Patterson Minority Scholarship at Manhattan, which started in 2006 and has supported the education of 25 students.

Patterson has had 19 consecutive No. 1 novels on The New York Times Bestseller List, and holds The New York Times and Guinness World Records for most hardcover fiction best-selling titles by a single author (76). His books include the top-selling detective series, Alex Cross featuring Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls, and the popular Maximum Ride, Daniel X and Witch & Wizard series.

As an author, Patterson is passionate about books and encouraging people of all ages to read. In fact, he launched the website ReadKiddoRead.com as a tool for adults to help find books for kids to read. He also rewards groups or individuals who use creative and effective ways to spread the joy of reading with the James Patterson Pageturner Awards, and makes regular donations of thousands of books to troops overseas.

Obituary

Golia, Peter Rosario

Peter R. Golia, former insurance company executive in New York City and past chairman of the Association of Average Adjusters in London, England, passed away Sunday, Oct. 14 in White Plains. He was 86.

Mr. Golia attended Manhattan College in the Riverdale section of the Bronx on the G.I. Bill of Rights, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in biology in 1949. He completed the marine insurance course of study at the College of Insurance, also in New York City, in 1952.

He began his insurance career as an ocean marine claims adjuster at W.J. Roberts & Co. in 1951 and went on to become an average adjuster and expert on marine insurance claims. He served as Assistant Vice President at Adams & Porter, Inc., and Vice President at Whitehall Brokerage, Inc. before returning to Adams & Porter as Senior Vice President, Average Adjuster & Manager of the Claims Department, marine and non-marine, where he retired from in 1991.

Mr. Golia was a life member of the Average Adjusters of the United States, as well as chairman of the Association of Average Adjusters from 1990-1991. In recognition of his expertise in the marine area, he was a made non-lawyer member of the Maritime Law Association of the United States in 1973.

Peter Rosario Golia was born on August 14, 1926, in New York City to Nicola and Josephine (DeTata). His father served in the U.S. Army in World War I. After graduating from high school, Peter joined the U.S. Army Air Force near the end of World War II and attained the rank of master sergeant, remaining in the United States.

A proud New Yorker, Mr. Golia was a life long fan of the Yankees and Giants; completed the NY Times crossword puzzle during his morning commute; and worked in the South Tower of the World Trade Center from the time it opened until his retirement.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Elizabeth; four children, Regina, Peter R. & wife Deborah, Annette & husband Martin, and Jean & husband Jeff.

Obituary

WINDHAM - Sister Angeline "Angie" Whidden (formerly Sister M. Benedicta), 86, a Sister of Mercy for 68 years, died Monday, Oct. 15, 2012, after a long illness.

Sister Angie was born in Natick, Mass., and was a resident of Manchester when she entered the Sisters of Mercy. She was the daughter of Charles and Annie (Doherty) Whidden. Sister Angie held a B.A. degree in English from Mount St. Mary College in Hooksett, an M.A. in English from the University of New Hampshire in Durham, and an M.A. in catechetical theology from Manhattan College in New York City.

For more than 25 years, she was a teacher at elementary and secondary schools in New Hampshire. She taught at St. Raphael School in Manchester, St. Patrick School in Portsmouth, St. Joseph School in Keene, and St. Mary School in Claremont. She also taught English at Bishop Brady High School in Concord, and theology at Trinity High School in Manchester. Sister Angie served in the Justice and Peace Office of the Diocese of Manchester, where she was director of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. She was also the executive director of New Horizons for New Hampshire. She was instrumental in starting the New Horizons Soup Kitchen.

In 1993, Sister Angie became the first director of development for the New Hampshire Sisters of Mercy, a position she held from 1993-96. For a time she served in the pastoral care department of the Mount Carmel Nursing Home in Manchester. In May 1993, Sister Angie received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Notre Dame College in Manchester. The citation noted her work on behalf of hungry and homeless people by participating in the founding of New Horizons Soup Kitchen, and her efforts as an advocate for those in need. She also received awards from the Greater Manchester Association for Social Service Agencies, and from the New England Catholic Council for Social Ministries. In November 1997, Sister Angie received an award from New Horizons for New Hampshire in recognition of her role in starting the soup kitchen. In 2000, a house that serves as a refuge for women seeking a better life was opened and named in her honor - Angie's Shelter. Also in 2000, Sister Angie was Grand Marshall of the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Manchester.

Family members include a sister, Annabel DeFreitis of Exeter, several nieces and nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. Sister Angie was predeceased by a brother, Roy Whidden; and three sisters, Marian Lalime, Ruth Sourdif, and Francis Davis.

JHQ: Harr, Lois (MCstaff) receives Lasallian Educator Award

http://www.manhattan.edu/news/manhattan-colleges-lois-harr-receives-lasallian-educator-award

Manhattan College’s Lois Harr Receives Lasallian Educator Award

Bronx resident recognized for outstanding work and dedication.

Lois Harr, director of Campus Ministry and Social Action at Manhattan College, will receive the annual Distinguished Lasallian Educator Award at the Huether Lasallian Conference, Nov. 15-17. The award honors educators for their outstanding work and dedication to exemplify the ideals of St. John Baptist de La Salle, patron saint of teachers.

The Brothers of the Christian Schools, District of Eastern North America (DENA) notified Harr of the honor today, and she was selected along with two additional recipients.

“It is an honor and privilege, on behalf of the District’s Mission Executive Council, to recognize Ms. Lois Harr as one of our three Distinguished Lasallian Educators for 2012,” said Alan Weyland, executive director for mission and ministry at DENA. “In the context of this year’s Huether Lasallian Conference theme, Faith in Action: Global Engagement through Lasallian Education, Lois epitomizes the ideals of Christian service, especially to the poor. Lois’ tireless work for social justice and civic engagement, along with her unwavering faith and zeal, as educator, mentor and advocate, make her a most deserving recipient.”

Harr, a lifetime resident of the Bronx, has integrated faith with her profession to educate the Manhattan community on the importance of helping others. In addition to working as director of Campus Ministry and Social Action since 1998, she is the assistant to the vice president for Student Life and is an adjunct instructor of religious studies. In Harr’s Urban America and Catholic Social Teaching course, students are required to complete 25 hours of service-learning community work outside of the classroom and have partnered with a number of community organizations to make a difference.

During Harr’s time at Manhattan, she has organized a variety of service opportunities for students including blood drives, trips to the Part of the Solution (POTS) soup kitchen in the Bronx, and fair trade events on campus, which helped the College become the first Fair Trade Certified College in New York City.

She has also helped to plan many Lasallian Outreach Volunteer Experience trips (L.O.V.E.), and attended trips to Ecuador, Kenya and Rwanda. The program was created to further promote the College’s Lasallian tradition of expanding the pillars of service and social justice by building community, deepening spirituality and experiencing cultural immersion.

“Lois Harr is universally respected and admired by faculty, student life professionals, students, administrators and staff,” said Brennan O’Donnell, Ph.D., president of Manhattan College. “The award is much deserved, as she is without a doubt among the handful of people in our community whose work most strongly embodies the charism of the De La Salle Brothers.”

In addition, Harr’s commitment to foster the Lasallian mission is evident through her completion of the Lasallian Leadership Institute in 2003 and her participation in the Lasallian Social Justice Institute (LSJI) in 2004 and 2005. She was on the planning team for the third LSJI on homelessness in 2006 and was a facilitator/presenter for LSJI San Francisco during the summers of 2007 and 2008.

Harr graduated from Fordham University with a bachelor’s in political science and master’s in religious studies from St. Joseph’s Seminary.

Your ISP’s email is a trap to lock you in to their service. It can leave you high and dry at the most inopportune times. And, you can be forced to change if they get bought out or go out. Why risk it?

Change your ISP and you have to change your email address. Why? You can have your own domain and still use the ISP's services or Google's GMAIL. No one needs to know and no one ever has to change anything.

Argh!

When I get these I don't know if anyone wants me to do anything? Other than update my address bool.

ENDNOTE: Where is the moral center?

http://www.impactlab.net/2012/10/11/1-in-5-adults-in-the-u-s-have-no-religious-affiliation/

October 11th, 2012 at 8:35 am
1 in 5 adults in the U.S. have no religious affiliation
in: Analysis,Latest Trend,Spirituality

*** begin quote ***

One in five U.S. adults say they are not part of a traditional religious denomination, new data from the Pew Research Center show, evidence of an unprecedented reshuffling of Americans’ spiritual identities that is shaking up fields from charity to politics.

But despite their nickname, the “nones” are far from godless. Many pray, believe in God and have regular spiritual routines.

Their numbers have increased dramatically over the past two decades, according to the study released Tuesday. About 19.6 percent of Americans say they are “nothing in particular,” agnostic or atheist, up from about 8 percent in 1990. One-third of adults under 30 say the same. Pew offered people a list of more than a dozen possible affiliations, including “Protestant,” “Catholic,” “something else” and “nothing in particular.”

*** end quote ***

This has tremendous import to pro-lifers and First Amendment rights.

Very hard to connect moral arguments if one has no moral center.

In some ways the organized Churches share some of the blame as they fell under the spell of the Gooferment. 501c3 tax deduction is the path to how they are controlled.

And, what about the children? They are getting their "religious" education in the Gooferment Skrules. They learn "Secular Progressive", Social Justice, Earth worship, and that the Gooferment is the new "mother" and "father" to them.

Scary!
