Old Friend and New Memories

*** begin quote ***

I’m currently in the process of making many new memories with a dear old friend. It’s been an interesting month, or a bit more, to say the least. I’ve laughed more in this short time span than I have in a long time, and I have this individual to thank for that. I find myself eager to talk to this person, I look forward to emails, or text messages, and anything that makes for a new memory or brings a smile to my face. The memories go back to our days at Manhattan College, which really are so long ago. Some are clear as day, yet others need a little refreshing. It’s okay, though, because the stories that accompany those unclear memories leave me in stitches from all the laughing we do. I don’t believe anything happens by coincidence. I think there is a reason behind it all. And although I’ll never know the reason for any of what we go through in this life, good or bad, I think it’s time I stop questioning things, and really live in the moment…and maybe, just maybe, things will turn out differently. No matter what, I know I’ll always be grateful for having this opportunity with this person, and for all the happiness I’ve been brought thus far. I look forward to more laughs and new memories. Hugs to you, friend.

JEmail: Czaczkes, Michael [MC2010] disgusted about a Quad op-ed against gay marriage

I would like to public express my disgust for my alma mater Manhattan College for publishing an op-ed against gay marriage.

[JR: Haven't read the article. It's not on the web. I'd bet Jasper Czaczkes would be "disgusted" by my opinions, and maybe many others as well. The 1927 Whitney v. California opinion applies here (imho), "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence." Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis]

JFound: Cox, Lawrence H. [MC1968] Associate Director National Center for Health Statistics

Leadership

National Center for Health Statistics – ORM

Lawrence H. Cox, PhD (Associate Director)

Dr. Lawrence’s previous positions include senior mathematical statistician for the U.S. Census Bureau, senior mathematical statistician for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and director, Board on Mathematical Sciences, National Academy of Sciences. Dr. Cox holds a bachelor of science from Manhattan College and a Ph.D. from Brown University, both in mathematics. He is an elected fellow of the American Statistical Association, an elected member of the International Statistical Institute, and is active in a variety of professional associations.

Dr. Cox’s research has focused on the use of mathematical theory and methods, including mathematical programming to model and solve problems in statistical science. Such problems, arising principally in official statistics, tend to be computationally large and complex, necessitating a mixture of theoretical and algorithmic solutions. Much of his research has been directed at problems in statistical data confidentiality and disclosure limitation, including the development of theory and computational methods for controlled data rounding and perturbation, complementary cell suppression, and controlled tabular adjustment. His recent research examines the effects of disclosure limitation methods on the quality and usability of released disclosure-limited data, and development of new and enhanced quantitative methods to balance data confidentiality and data quality.

Cicuto, Sarah (MC2010)

“For shame, Manhattan College. Seriously? Read the Quadrangle.”

[JR: The Q is off-line. So we'll have to wait for someone to report the latest outrage. Bad food? Bugs? Or snow?]

# # # # #

Sarah Cicuto commented on her status:

“Maybe I should be more clear. For shame Manhattan College, for letting people be so uneducated about certain issues. The other guy, while entitled to his own opinion, should prooooobably reconsider insulting an entire group of people in a public manner. “

“Although I know it’s not MC’s fault (loveee you, MC), I’d like to think that there is a reason for people’s opinions to be so harsh. I know Just Peace tries it’s hardest!!”

[JR: All clear. Someone has an opinion that causes upset. (No surprise there. Wait till she reads my endnotes. She be convinced I never graduated. But I did. Surprise surprise. No as surprised as certain faculty members!)

MNews: a big foam representation of Brother Jasper

Posted on February 18, 2010 by | Comments Off

*** begin quote ***

School Spirit. Give the Manhattan crowd credit: They remained lively well into the second half even though their team was getting manhandled. (The sizable contingent of Stags fans, by the way, matched their enthusiasm and then some.) Manhattan doesn’t have a mascot — though we see no reason there shouldn’t be a giant foam representation of Brother Jasper of Mary, the university’s onetime baseball coach, prefect of discipline, and possible inventor of the seventh-inning stretch, for whom the teams are named — but they do have cheerleaders, a dance squad, and a band. In general, we were kind of astounded by how much of the goings on resembled a high-school game, and not just because of the layout of the venue: The softball team sold 50/50 raffle tickets to raise money, the dance team sold team calendars to raise money (they presumably got this idea from Zach Morris), and bunches of green and white balloons provided some low-budget décor. Score: 6/10.

Great Brother Jasper’s Ghost!!!

I think he’s onto something.

While a big foam representation of Brother Jasper might be fun, I’m sure the Brothers would see it as disrespectful. And, the crowd would be impacted, he was after all the Prefect of Discipline. Not a fan of rowdy or “edgy” students.

But, maybe we do need a “Jasper”, like the RU Scarlett Knight, or the WVU Mountain Man.

Now, what would a Jasper carry?

A beer and a slide rule?

LOL!

Maybe MC will commission Jerry to create one. Or, license Jasperman?

Many a true word is said in jest!

Bet a lot of alums would pay to see that!
