JFOUND: Fraser, Jessica [MC2000] a four-year point guard mentioned

FRASER: WHY LUPUL’S CATCH-AND-DROP GOAL WAS ALLOWED
2/7/2012 6:03:30 PM
KERRY FRASER

*** begin quote ***

With the airborne puck located behind Ferriero and Lupul in varying degrees they both had to twist and reach back to catch the puck. From this posture, with their skates already in motion and as they continued to move, it was a natural motion and reaction to twist forward and drop the puck to the ice onto their stick.

It would take a Michael Jordan manoeuver to bring the puck from behind the back or through their legs which would also involve a closing of the hand on the puck. As a matter of fact my daughter Jessica, a four-year point guard at Manhattan College in N.Y. could dribble two basketballs at one time, bringing both behind her back and through her legs. She of course wasn’t wearing hockey gloves at the time! Travelling in the modern game of basketball is pretty much non-existent as well.

What I’m suggesting here is that neither Ferriero nor Lupul could catch the puck and drop (or “place” it as the rule states) behind them nor would it be reasonable to expect that any player would do so.

*** end quote ***

?Fraser?, ?Jessica? [MC????]

[JR: Could NOT quickly find any such person? Maybe a different last name or it was a while ago. Have to rely on others to fix this. But I did love the "traveling non-existent" comment. So true. Especially in the Pros. Bball was a game of style and grace. Now it's push and shove. Mens and womens. All about offense to make an "exciting product" for the consumer. Never forget it's all about money! Argh!!!]

Dear John,

JHQ: Frechette, Nicole [MC2006] entertains the troops

2012-02-08 Frechette, Nicole [MC2006]

Manhattan Grad and Rising Country Star Returns to Nashville
Posted on February 06, 2012

*** begin quote ***

A. Book a gig. B. Hire a band. C. Get people to come.

It seems like a simple recipe for success, but a little more than five years ago, singer Nicole Frechette ’06 hadn’t crossed out any of the steps on her list.

Fast forward to 2012 and Frechette has not only conquered A through C dozens of times, but also has built her name as a rising star in the country pop circuit – making the trek from her home in Madison, Conn., to Nashville, Tenn., as often as possible.

Her most recent trip to the capital of country music in January felt different though, she explained, as if all of the puzzle pieces were finally coming together.

This time, 26-year-old Frechette arrived to find hosts of people eager to help her market her brand, produce her new album and mentor her song-writing process.

To those who know the humble songstress, it should come as no surprise that Frechette’s supporters are lining up to see her off to stardom. After all, she’s given them quite a lot to smile about in recent months.

After a friend left to serve in Afghanistan, Frechette was inspired to spend two weeks in July and August performing for American troops at Army bases in Germany and Kosovo.

“I love working with charities and those who deserve support and notoriety,” Frechette says, referring to the international tour as the glue that’s kept her year together. “It’s proof to me that there’s a nice way to do what I want to do, that I don’t have to resent [this lifestyle] ever. There are good ways to do things.”

JHQ: MC Prez visits Rwanda scouting opportunities for charity work

President Travels Around the World to Witness Global Catholic Work
Posted on February 06, 2012

Since Manhattan College was first established in 1853, it has been committed to an educational mission that puts service to others at its core. When Manhattan’s president, Brennan O’Donnell, Ph.D., recently received an invitation to travel to Africa to witness the work of Catholic Relief Services (CRS), he saw it as an opportunity to deepen the College’s connection with the U.S. Catholic Church’s preeminent global service organization.

“I hope that the college presidents who went with us on this trip, including President O’Donnell, got to see how we are all part of one human family, and how solidarity really can transform the world. I hope they also saw how we learn from those we serve,” says Ken Hackett, former president of CRS, who traveled with the delegation. “Finally, I hope they were inspired to find ways to collaborate with CRS to bring our experience on the ground.”

On Jan. 9, O’Donnell traveled from New York City to the city of Kigali in Rwanda, a nation that is still recovering from the 1994 genocide that killed approximately 1 million people. Accompanied by Mary Lyons, Ph.D., president of the University of San Diego; Sister Anne Munley, IHM, Ph.D., president of Marywood University; and Rev. Stephen Privett, S.J., president of the University of San Francisco; O’Donnell and the group began their trip throughout Rwanda and Burundi with CRS.

CRS is the official humanitarian agency of the U.S. Catholic community and is dedicated to assisting impoverished and disadvantaged people around the world regardless of their race, religion or ethnicity. The organization started its work in Rwanda more than 50 years ago and planned a full itinerary for the group to hear about the history, culture and progress CRS and its partners have made there.

[JR: It'd be "easy" to sit back on the campus and "coast". Although, if today's Jaspers are as "high spirited" as when I was there, there's probably very little "coasting". It takes physical courage to go to these strange places. Just being in that country, that continent, is a risk. Although I'm sure the CRS folks have a vested interest in "don't let the tourists get eaten by the hippos, else they won't allow their students to come help us." Still accidents happen. Applause is well deserved!]

Duty Calls: Army National Guard Brig. Gen. Genereux cited for nearly 40 years of service
By Terry Brown
Updated 10:37 p.m., Friday, February 3, 2012

*** begin quote ***

Brigadier Gen. Paul Genereux, assistant adjutant general of the New York Army National Guard, received a Distinguished Service Cross during his retirement testimony after nearly 40 years of military service.

Major Gen. Patrick Murphy, adjutant general and commander of the state’s militia forces, presented the medal to Genereux during the ceremony at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on Jan. 14.

Genereux received recognition for leading New York Army National Guard soldiers through the Army’s transition from the Cold War, through the Gulf War and into the new millennium’s overseas contingency operations in Iraq and Aghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the World Trade Center and elsewhere.

Joseph Zambito
Pursuing curiosity on the road to choosing a career
27, Project Engineer
AECOM
New York
Joseph Zambito has had a fascination with mechanical systems since he was a kid, spending hours in his grandfather’s garage taking things apart, reassembling them and learning how they worked. He says it was that curiosity that led him to pursue an engineering career. He attended Manhattan College, earning a master’s degree in mechanical engineering in 2010. Zambito currently works as a project engineer in his firm’s energy business department. His projects include work for the New York City Housing Authority’s Hot Water Heater Replacement program and the award-winning Wards Island Water Pollution-Control Plant. He was selected as a project engineer to work on his current project, the Rikers Island Cogeneration Plant. Zambito has traveled the United States under his firm’s contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, using his technical knowledge to mitigate damages and provide economic relief for communities ravaged by natural disasters. In 2008, while still in school, he worked closely with the Engineers-Without-Borders, New York Chapter, doing research in conjunction with Columbia University and traveling to Uganda. He has now been to Uganda twice with Columbia students to design and install engine components for agricultural equipment and rainwater harvesting systems for a war-torn school. AECOM has presented him with its Making A Difference award for exemplary work within the company.

Dear John,

This was taken down.

McEneney, Mike (MC1953)

[JR: Thanks, Mike. Much appreciated. Wonder why? "Taken down by the User"; never did figure out who "manhattancollege" was? I found it ... "hauntingly peaceful". Too bad! It was up when I reported it. I'll have to think about "capturing" videos and "stuff". I know that many of the political activists in NH "capture" videos to preserve them. Like about the City of Keene buying a tank for the police. Maybe everyone has to do the same thing. It was good.]
