2012-Oct-21JEMAIL: Jablon, Ken (MC1962) defends the moral center of agnostics or an atheistsJohn,Relative to your Endnote: why do you believe that an individual can have "no moral center" if he/she does not belong to an organized religion or even is an agnostic or an atheist. These individuals can be as moral or more moral than those who profess religious beliefs. Ken Jablon '62 # - # - # My point was that there are two big effects of this finding: (1) that children are being indoctrinated with a "different region" "Secular Humanism" and (2) without the organizational label, one can NOT assume a common body of dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) or experiences or beliefs or tradition or … We don't have anything in common. So what is a "moral center" in today's world? What does it mean to be "moral" with that organizational component? CINO's are disgrace and imho examples of what you say about "profess". Pro-life and First Amendment arguments will be much harder to make when there is no common ground. # - # - # - # - # 2012-Oct-21 @ 11:28 |

It’s supposed to be uncomfortable and most people would rather take a nap instead. SoulCycle is exercise in disguise. It takes an aggressive form of exercise and makes it fun. Turning a difficult workout into an enjoyable experience can be a great motivating tool, but for some it can be a problem. Indoor cycling, otherwise known as spinning, has been around since the early 90s, but in 2006 a spinning company called SoulCycle entered the workout scene. Picture a dark room lit with candles and 50-plus stationary bicycles packed closely together, full of people you see so often it feels like a club. The doors are closed. Upbeat music blasts over the surround sound speakers. Riders aren’t just spinning; they are pedaling on beat almost as if they were dancing. *** and *** SoulCycle is meant to be an all-encompassing experience. Alexandra Brunetti, 19, a student at Manhattan College spins six times a week. The fervent SoulCyclist says it frees her mind and when the instructor gives motivational speeches it applies to more than just the bike. “I remember the last song (during my last class) was ‘Fix You’ by Coldplay. The instructor made us close our eyes and ride at our own pace,” she says. “When we were at the top of the third hill, it wasn’t about the bike anymore, she talked about what we wanted to be on and off the bike,” Brunetti says. *** end quote *** Brunetti, Alexandra [MC????] [JR: Maybe "ours"? ] # - # - # - # - # 2012-Oct-21 @ 12:49 |

Mr. Connor was born Sept. 13, 1931, in Queens, N.Y. A native of Forrest Hills, N.Y., he graduated from La Salle Academy in New York City and Manhattan College in the Bronx, N.Y. While at La Salle, Mr. Connor played four years of varsity baseball. Upon graduation from Manhattan College, he served as troop information and education specialist in the U.S. Army Signal Corps at the conclusion of the Korean War. Mr. Connor decided to "make a difference in corporate America" and began a 40-year career in marketing and sales management in the packaging industry with Reynolds Metals Co. and Jefferson Smurfit Corp.

An avid tennis player with a strong serve, he enjoyed memberships in tennis clubs in Manhattan, Amagansett, N.Y., and New Milford. His first love, however, was baseball. He had a love for the game's subtleties and nuances, which he maintained throughout his life and passed on to his sons. He was also a member of the St. George's Society, the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick in New York City and the New Milford Historical Society. Mr. Connor was an ardent patron of the arts. As a member of the National Arts Club, he and his artist-wife, Rosemary, enthusiastically supported museums, galleries and benefits throughout the U.S. and Europe.

In 2009 Mr. Connor published his autobiography, "John V," for his family. The book exemplified his extraordinary writing skills, as well as his excellent sense of humor, passion for life and love of family.

He was raised in Manchester, N.H., attended Manhattan College , received his master's degree from the City University of New York and earned his doctorate in education from Fordham University . He served with the Brothers in New York City before setting off on a career of teaching and coaching beginning at Tappan Zee High School in Piermont. Although he had a short coaching career, because of a promotion to assistant principal, Moran took the Tappan Zee boys basketball team to a PSAL title in 1957-58 and earned Coach of the Year honors two years in a row. As an educator, Dr. Moran was appointed the Valley Central principal in 1963 before taking over as superintendent of Valley Central schools only one year later. Bill would remain in this position for nearly 20 years. Under his leadership, the district grew in terms of facilities, students and curriculum to the point where it was once the fifth-largest school district in the country.

He would go on to serve as the executive director of both the Mid Hudson School Study Council and state School Boards Association in Albany, representing the interests of kids and teachers across the state. With his passion for athletics and the value of competition never far from his mind, for 16 years (1983-1999) Dr. Moran served as Section IX's first executive director and was widely regarded as its most influential director. He would also serve for 17 years on the state Public High School Athletic Association Executive Committee, working tirelessly at ensuring leagues in his section teamed up to rewrite the section constitution and bring fair representation in athletics. In 2008, he was inducted into the state Public High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame. Survivors include his wife, Carol (nee VanWyck); a daughter, Judy Mottola and her husband, John; three sons, Bill and his wife, Patricia, Mike and his wife, Tracey, and Bob Moran; eight grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

2012-Oct-27ENDNOTE: A future Nobel Prize winner was "far from satisfactory"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/09/nobel-prize-winner-got-po_0_n_1952172.htmlJohn Gurdon, Nobel Prize Winner In Physiology Or Medicine, Wasn't The Best Science Student 10/09/12 12:48 PM ET EDT AP *** begin quote *** LONDON -- Teacher knows best? That doesn't appear to be the case for one teacher who called a future Nobel Prize winner's dreams of becoming a scientist "quite ridiculous" in a scathing report card. John Gurdon's future success was almost nipped in the bud in 1949 when a schoolmaster at elite Eton College wrote on his report card that pursuing science would be a waste of time. "His work has been far from satisfactory," the teacher wrote. "If he can't learn simple biological facts he would have no chance of doing the work of a specialist, and it would be sheer waste of time, both on his part, and of those who have to teach him." The teacher said that the teenage Gurdon had gotten into trouble several times and didn't listen. The scientific community could argue it's a good thing he didn't. *** end quote *** LOL! And you wonder why I'm not big on "teachers". My literary career, if any, was short circuit by a teacher's ridicule. Maybe we should try a different paradigm or meme! Self education, home schooling, or inet teaching. All cheaper that Gooferment Skrules. # - # - # - # - # |
