By the Way…Dr. Z Remembered

*** begin quote ***

The efficacy of Keynesian economics is being debated once again in both polite and impolite society. But rather than stake out a position on the demand side versus the supply side in this dismal science, I’d rather just wax nostalgically and recall a college professor of mine. We called him Dr. Z.

He was an adjunct professor filling in for an ailing instructor in a course called Intermediate Macroeconomics. The place: my alma mater Manhattan College. The year: 1984. Dr. Z was a very tall, dome-headed Egyptian fellow, who not only wore thrift shop threads that didn’t quite fit his gawky frame—ridiculously high waters and hobo shoes—every single day, but a sartorial selection at least thirty years past its prime.

JNEWS: Cain, Tim [MC1985] mentioned in a long story

Legendary Don Bassett built, presided over CCHS dynasty

By Kevin Moran The Record

*** begin quote ***

TROY — A flip-flop decision, perhaps a back-room deal. How Don Bassett became varsity basketball coach at Catholic Central High School is long forgotten.

*** and ***

The following season the Crusaders featured Fagan, Danish and the Foglia brothers, Rich and Nick, who transferred from CBA. They again rolled through the Big 10 and the Class A playoffs. CCHS had a matchup in the final with Shaker, which featured Sam Perkins, who went on to become an All-American at North Carolina and play in the NBA, and Tim Cain, a 6-foot-10 center who for a while held the scoring record at Manhattan College.

ADMINISTRIVIA: Creating a custom feed

Posted on June 20, 2010 by | Comments Off

For those of you who use feed readers like Google Reader, or use live feeds in web browsers like Firefox3, you can see subsets of “Jasper Jottings Daily” http://jasperjottings-daily.com / http://goo.gl/4eMb.

For example, http://jasperjottings-daily.com/tag/mc1993/feed/ will only “pull” stories tagged with “MC1993″. (Note the bold italic underline is to focus you on where the tag goes.)

For example, http://jasperjottings-daily.com/category/jhq-from-headquarters/feed/ will only pull stories from “headquarters”.

For example, http://jasperjottings-daily.com//feed/ will pull every story.

Basically any category or tag can be used to define a feed. You can see the categories and tags on the right side bar on Jasper Jottings Daily webpage.

If you have some specific question, I’d be happy to give you my best effort in response.

I can’t resist. For those that only want to read my rantings, “http://jasperjottings-daily.com/category/endnote/feed” will pull just those. ROFL!

Vilkelis, William (MC1993) http://goo.gl/wFKm http://goo.gl/LNPK

I graduated with a Masters in Environmental Engineering in 1993. I worked as an engineer for few years after that, but at present I work as a real estate broker in Manhattan and Brooklyn. You?

Adrienne (Roman) Nelson

Hi – I graduated with a BS is Sociology that same year. Wound up getting a MS in Counseling from Queens College and ran a few mental health programs for a social service agency as well as in a hospital in NJ. Now I’m working from home as a grant writer/fundraising professional for a social service firm in Queens.

Pasted into your favorite reader (GREADER?), or even some browsers (FIREFOX3), will give you all the past reports about 1993 alumni. Then, you’ll receive ONLY those updates going forward.

(Of course, I’m sure you want to read all the Jasper Alumni news I report! I can see you all rolling your eyes out there. It’s about 30 stories a week.)

Hope this helps? And, of course I welcome your participation in Jasper Jottings by reporting all your accomplishments and the “misdeeds” of all your classmates.

Sorry for the delay in responding, but I caught this on clean up. Better late than never.

ENDNOTE: And, the KoC won’t castigate CINO politicians either

Knights of Columbus refuse to allow suspension of members who promote abortion, gay marriage

RSS Facebook May 19, 2010

*** begin quote ***

Marrella went on to say that the K of C would not go further than the American bishops in taking public action against members whose public stands conflict with Church moral teachings. “If the public figure’s bishop has not excommunicated him for his public positions on issues relating to matters of faith and morals, it would be highly inappropriate for the Knights of Columbus to do so,” he wrote.
