JEMAIL: Moore, Kevin (MC1980) reports on Schreifer, Russ [MC1980] quote

Dear CIC,

In an article on the new Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, there is a quote from Russ Schreifer, a classmate from 1980 in the Weekly Standard, a magazine of political opinion. Russ is a political consultant for Gov. Christie. I am sure it can be accessed by going to www.weeklystandard.com.

The breadth of change proposed by Christie—“bold action now to reverse the direction we have taken for many years”—has surprised many New Jerseyans. He was less candid during the campaign, for a reason. Voters “wanted back then what he’s doing now,” said Russ Schriefer, Christie’s media consultant. “But he couldn’t do it now if he’d said it back then.”

JFOUND: Gallagher, Joe [MC1949] remembers the Prep

http://www.stmarystoday.com/News/SportsBeat032507.html

Bill,

Hugh Biens starred at Manhattan Prep, a small school located on one floor of De La Salle Hall on the Manhattan College campus. Biens led the Jasper Prepsters to either a NYC title or the CHSAA final four, quite an achievement. The scuttlebutt was that Manhattan College recruited Biens but Georgetown’s pitch included a scholarship to law school. I assume that was within NCAA rules ’cause the Jesuits wouldn’t cross the ethics line, would they? The Christian Brothers closed Manhattan Prep around 1971 as they were running out of Brothers to staff the faculty.

Veterans help NBA hopefuls

“I’d definitely go,” said Rico Pickett, the Manhattan College guard who after a season that included a disciplinary suspension has declared but doesn’t have an agent. “I’m hoping for a legit shot of going to try out for a team, showing what I can do. Hopefully, somebody has interest.”

The concern over the new ruling is it simply does not afford time to gather information for a proper decision. Teams cannot talk to or work out players until April 29. Then players without agents have 13 days to decide: stay in the draft or withdraw. Compounding matters are NCAA rules forbidding players, under threat of eligibility loss, from missing class to visit NBA teams.

Entering the weekend, 63 underclassmen had declared, roughly half without agents. Last year, 104 declared, 55 withdrew. The largest batch was in 2005 when 110 declared and 50 withdrew. Projections are for a record of underclassmen declaring this year. Some suggest fears of an NBA labor lockout next year are fueling the declarations this year.

[JR: Unfortunately for these kids, (more like children than men). the NCAA ain't looking out for them. It's a racket with "student athlete" lipstick. These kids are raw material into the shredder that's the NCAA. All to make money for the "schools". At least baseball is honest enough to have the minor leagues. Anti-trust?]

Water, Water News Magazine

Here is a link to the Civil Engineering article http://goo.gl/MiT6  on storm damage of water lines and wastewater systems. Dr. Deb walked the show through some surprising aspects of storm damage. She also shared some news about algae problems in China and how this radio show (“Water, Water Everywhere”) fits in the need for public education about our infrastructure.
