How The Odd Couple's Jack Klugman Helped Create The Biotech
Industry
Comment Now Follow Comments
*** begin quote ***
Jack Klugman, the actor famous as Oscar from “The Odd Couple” and
the crusading medical examiner from the socially conscious
“Quincy, M.E.,” died on Christmas Eve, according to The New York
Times. He was 90. It’s no exaggeration to say that in the latter
role he forever changed the drug business and helped set the stage
for the biotechnology industry that was just then emerging.
*** end quote ***
Now as a little L libertarian, I don't think that actors
testifying to Congress is something to be celebrated.
It's a flawed system. Recognizing that, using one's platform for
good, is a big positive.
Now I knew about this, but how many people did?
Not all our accomplishments will ever be known by others, but
aren't we taught to do "charity in secret"?
(On a personal note, I was sorry to read of his passing. Certain
friends and relatives think I modeled myself after him. Minus the
cigar, they might be right. I'm a slob at heart. But, then I know
my flaws. Oink, oink, oink.)

MOBIT: Father of Dandola, John (MC1970) passes
http://flinchandbruns.com/sitemaker/memsol.cgi?user_id=861417It is with sadness that I have to pass along some bad news. My "older" friend is Dandola, John (MC1970). His Dad passed away yesterday. His Dad was one of the few people I knew longer than my wife who wasn't a relative. He was a hard working family man. With a gruff side, and doted on his daughters. Always a character, he was always up for a good time.
Work permitting, and I can't see why not, I'm going to the funeral.
The details are in the above link.

Pete Krupp Least we forget Broadway a/k/a Joe's Pizza. Some great times were had there before and after the Greenleaf, Pinewood or Terminal. I didn't distinguish between locals or student establishments. A cold adult beverage was a cold adult beverage no matter the source. 72 - 76.

FJohn Reinke For this injineer, the Greenleaf was a required rest stop after Theoology with Father Bruce. With my head filled with "dannny lew" and the ways to know God, Teilhard de Cardin saying science leads us to God, and being called a blundering barbarian from down the hill to tortue the Arts Department, I needed to wash away my sins. Argh! Times were so much simpler then. I didn't patronize the Leaf when I was in High School, they checked proof; whereas the Terminal was content to over charge us for the 'water of life'. Argh! So much simpler.

John Butler ’86 leads his company to bring hope to hemophiliacs.
John Butler ’86 believes in people over profits when it comes to the pharmaceutical business.
The CEO of Inspiration Biopharmaceuticals, Butler has spent a great deal of his career caring for people with rare diseases who require medicines unique to their conditions, not the mass-produced drugs that earn companies their biggest profits.

After offering plans for Bronx Catholic schools to stay open, parents nervously await Archdiocese’s decision
Eight schools in borough are in danger of closure
BY CORINNE LESTCH / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 2013, 6:00 AM
*** begin quote ***
The Rev. Joseph Franco, who oversees the Northwest/South Bronx region for the Archdiocese of New York, will be put to the test in his first major decision as chair of the new board.
“I would love to see all the schools come off the chopping block, because we’re in the poorest congressional district here in the United States,” said Franco, of Sacred Heart parish in Highbridge, which is not in danger. “I don’t look forward to the final decision day.”
Some believe a verdict has already been reached.
“(The archdiocese) is not interested in helping schools,” said Kelvin Ramirez, an alum of St. Jerome’s whose son also attends.
“They’re interested in giving the illusion that there’s an option. Personally, I don’t feel very confident that they’re going to change their minds.”
*** end quote ***

Franco, Fr. Joseph [MC1997]
[JR: Hopefully, our fellow Jasper can demonstrate that it's a fair process. Catholic Education is a lot like the Titanic; it's going under. You can NOT compete with something the Government gives away "free". This battle was lot eons ago when the Gooferment got into the "education" biz. Which is another way of saying putting the State in place of God and indoctrinating the future voters so they can't conceive of being free. Argh!]

Obituary
SPETTER--Dr. Matthew Ies died peacefully at his home on December 30, 2012, surrounded by his family. He was 91 years old. Born in the Netherlands he participated in the Dutch resistance during World War II until his capture by the Nazis. He was imprisoned in several concentration camps including Auschwitz and Buchenwald. A witness at the International War Criminal Trials in Nuremburg, Germany, and a part of G2 and G3 American Intelligence, he was awarded the Resistance Cross by the Government of the Netherlands.
In 1951, Dr. Spetter and his family moved to the United States where he became involved in the Ethical Culture Society. He became a Leader of the Riverdale Yonkers Ethical Culture society for a period of 40 years and the Chairman of the Department of Ethics for the three Ethical Culture schools. He also taught at the Encampment for Citizenship of the American Ethical Union. Dr. Spetter worked for human rights, civil rights and international peace. He was an associate professor at the Peace Studies Institute and the Department of Religion at Manhattan College, a very active member of the community and a founding member of the Riverdale Clergy Council. As a Clinical Member of the American Association for Family Therapy, and as a therapist, Dr. Spetter understood the importance of mental health. He founded the Riverdale Mental Health Clinic in 1960, an important community resource today.
Dr. Spetter was also an author of numerous, annotated lectures regarding what matters about life, radio programs and publications including his books The Courage to Stand Alone, Man the Reluctant Brother and To Deny the Night. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him or simply heard him speak. The reach of his words and his work is vast.
Dr. Spetter is survived by his son Job, Job's wife Gina and their sons Chase and Job Robert, his daughter Ruth and step-children Connie Boykan, Rick Berke, Gary Berke and Wendy Berke Hall and their respective families. Dr. Spetter's daughter Sanne and wives Suze, Ina and Sylvia predeceased him.

[JR: I had the opportunity to attend the wake and met the family. He was indeed a rich man. Wish I could have trade places with him and went in his stead. (Like Tale of Two Cities.) If for no other reason than to spare his eldest grandchild the sorrow. The others were to young to understand. The grandchildren were are lot like I remember my classmate, polite even when they didn't want to be bothered. Without coaching from their Mom's, the introduced themselves like troopers. And, entertained the family friends buy answering a lot of really dumb questions. (I KNOW I wouldn't have had their patience at their age. Heck, I don't even know I'd have that much patience at this age. Correction, I know I would have that much patience. Probably would have used some nautical language. It was however an insight to how much they care for him. He was a "wealthy" man and I am a little jealous. What greater legacy can a man leave but good children?]

Good Afternoon All,A prayer of thanks for Francis, the Brother of a friend (Veronica) down here in Delaware. We have had Francis in our prayers as he went in for Open Heart Surgery. He has come through with flying colors, recuperating quicker than expected and getting ready to begin rehab. His Operation was just before Christmas and with the exception of his body having retained a great deal of water (which has been taken care of) there have been no complications. Veronica and their family thank you for your prayers.
Please keep Dave Maksomski in your prayers that all is found in good order as he meets today with the MDs at Columbia Presbyterian to decide the next steps to be taken. Thank you. God Bless.

Saturday, January 12, 5PM: Douglas Nicholas "Something Red"
Start: 01/12/2013 5:00 pm
From debut author Douglas Nicholas comes a haunting story of love, murder, and sorcery.
During the thirteenth century in northwest England, in one of the coldest winters in living memory, a formidable yet charming Irish healer, Molly, and the troupe she leads are driving their three wagons, hoping to cross the Pennine Mountains before the heavy snows set in. Molly, her lover Jack, granddaughter Nemain, and young apprentice Hob become aware that they are being stalked by something terrible. The refuge they seek in a monastery, then an inn, and finally a Norman castle proves to be an illusion. As danger continues to rise, it becomes clear that the creature must be faced and defeated—or else they will all surely die. It is then that Hob discovers how much more there is to his adopted family than he had realized.
An intoxicating blend of fantasy and mythology, Something Red presents an enchanting world full of mysterious and fascinating characters— shapeshifters, sorceresses, warrior monks, and knights—where no one is safe from the terrible being that lurks in the darkness. In this extraordinary, fantastical world, nothing is as it seems, and the journey for survival is as magical as it is perilous.
Join us for this exciting reading and book signing in our newly-renovated event space upstairs at The Golden Notebook!

Good Evening All,An update on Nancy Maksomski's Dad, Dave Maksomski. First off Nancy thanks you and is very appreciative for your continued prayers. Mr. Maksomski met with the MDs and he is currently not in afib. According to the EKG, he had two episodes last week but went right back into Rhythm and that is good. They want to see him in six weeks to see if another procedure is required. He is still experiencing shortness of breath but the MDs feel that if he pushes himself a little, that it will clear up. Please keep Dave in your prayers as we pray that he continues to improve. Thank you. God Bless.

Caitlin Anne Martin is the thriving child of Martin, Margaret (MC1998) and neice of Finch, Bernadette Kelly (MC1995). Readers may remember her battle with pre-B ALL type leukemia from 2007 until 2010. Any way, I'm happy to report she is selling Girl Scout cookies and I bought some. This is one of my happier experiences with leukemia; only had two and the other didn't end well. So, I'm happy when I read stories like this on Facebook. (Even though our two fellow alums accuse me of trolling Faebook. What is a bore poor fat old white guy injineer to do but troll and live vicariously.)

Hi there! You are so sweet to order some Girl Scout cookies from Caitlin and also give us a 'shout out' in this week's Jasper Jottings! =) The check should be made payable to the Girls Scouts of Greater NY and mailed to our home address at {Privacy Invoked}.

He spent the next 20 years in Boston working on multiple scale transportation projects, preparing traffic impact studies and performing traffic signal, traffic control and roadway design. Kopaskie moved to North Carolina in 2004 and spent five years working at a small engineering firm where he prepared more than 100 traffic signal designs in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. His most recent work includes preparing the PS&E packages for roadway improvement projects in Charleston, Barnwell and Richland counties. He served as project manager for the Horry County Five Bridge Replacement project in South Carolina and as the project manager for the North CHATS Area Traffic Signal Master Plan for SCDOT.
Kopaskie is involved in the community as a pit crew member for the Cuthbertson High School marching band and as a volunteer for other activities at the school. He is a member of the ITE and IMSA. He currently resides in Waxhaw, N.C., with his wife, Diane, and his three children, Alex, Andrea and Ben.

ENDNOTE: Coulter make an "outrageous" argument
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2013/01/03/coulter_why_cant_we_get_a_list_of_women_who_have_abortions.htmlCoulter: Why Can't We Get A List Of Women Who Have Had Abortions?
*** begin quote ***
Why, as that man just said, why aren't we getting names of recently paroled criminals? People with gun permits, by definition, do not criminal records. Why can't we get the criminal records? No, you can't get that. Why can't we get a record of women who have had abortions? They get money from Planned Parenthood, they get money from Medicare, from Medicaid. They're tax subsidies. I think, you know, mothers might want to know what other women on their street might be willing to murder a child.
*** end quote ***
It's an interesting question.
Privacy?
Why are somethings "private" and out-of-bounds?
Liberals want to embarrass and target gun owners. They take a different view of abortion!
