PRAYERSREQUESTED: Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) shares some good news

Good Evening All,

We have good news from Owen Mckeon regarding their Niece, LIsa, who has been in our prayers. Lisa had gone into Cardiac Arrest on two occasions and had been at the right place at the right time to be cared for. Lisa is a Pharmacist who works at Hartford Hospital. She is doing great, is back to work and the Staff know where she is, just in case. A prayer of thanks is in order as we keep Lisa and her family in our prayers for her continued strong recovery. Thank you. God Bless.

Phil Colon

JBLOGGER: Dowd, Raymond J. (MC1986) called certain Museums “thieves” and enabling “tax cheats”

Nazi Looted Art and Cocaine: When Museum Directors Take It, It Call the Cops

*** begin quote ***

The Rutgers Journal of Law and Religion, as part of their Nuremberg volume, just published my article:  Nazi Looted Art and Cocaine: When Museum Directors Take It, Call the Cops.  Check out Volume 14 here.

*** and ***

As such, Nazi looted art should be treated as a contraband substance, like cocaine, and should be returned to its true owners under the common law precept that no one can take good title from a thief.

*** and ***

The article arguest that it is time for prosecutors to act and that the National Stolen Property Act gives them a weapon to do so.  They have the weapons and evidence, only the political courage to confront powerful museums with the evidence is lacking.  The article argues that museums, colleges and individuals who use technical defenses to keep stolen property as the Toledo Museum of Fine Art, the Detroit Institute of the Arts, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the MoMA and the Guggenheim have done bring only disgrace upon themselves and don’t clean title to the stolen goods.

*** and ***

The article further argues that this is not a victimless crime because the wealthy donors who have “donated” the stolen artworks to museums got a tax break for the “fair market value” of the artworks.

[JR: SO then, since the IRS has so much time to spend on "conservatives", they should go after the donors for tax fraud. That's what brought down Capone?]

Leinster’s old tricks enough to outwit inferiorStade, but familiar foes Ulster aren’t as easily fooled
Blues must stay on even keel after cakewalk with Pro12 decider looming large, says Neil Francis

Neil Francis – 19 May 2013

*** begin quote ***

Atonement? Probably not. Yesterday’s Heineken Cup was where Leinster wanted to be but as they bask in the post-coital glow of yet more silverware they can reflect on the notion that they are still one of the best sides in Europe capable of beating either of yesterday’s contestants.

*** and ***

My old buddy Gary Halpin, formerly of Manhattan College RFC, Wanderers, London Irish, Harlequins, Leinster, Esher and now Brecon, is a fantastic after-dinner speaker. He uses the same stories time and again because he moves around the place so often that nobody has heard his old jokes time after time. Leinster just looked at some of their old jokes, knew that Stade would not have been able to look back that far in their video analysis and cut them to pieces with a sort of surgical precision that they won’t get away with against Ulster because the men from the North know all their old moves and all their new moves.

JEMAIL: Nicholas, Douglas (MC1964) is on a roll

Hi John,

I’d just like to invite my fellow Jaspers to mosey on over to my website, which has a lot of information about my current novel, Something Red; the novel’s sequel, The Wicked; and four books of poetry.

Here’s the link:

http://scribe5.wix.com/something-red

More news: Simon and Schuster wants two more books from me–that would be the third book of what will be a trilogy, and a fourth book, as yet undecided.

Regards,

Douglas

[JR: Congrats. Jaspers don't "mosey"; stride forthrightly with courage or stagger during or after a hard night, but never "mosey". LAFF. Glad your doing well with these projects. So when will you pass Paterson?]
