POSITRACTION: Pray for the unborn during Advent

Cardinals invite world to join Pope in prayer vigil for unborn

Vatican City, Oct 1, 2010 / 10:01 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- To encourage a commitment and witness within the Church to love and life, a prayer initiative to be led by Pope Benedict XVI is being promoted by a pair of cardinals. All bishops of the world are being asked to invite the faithful to pray for the unborn during the prayerful season before Christmas during the prayerful season before Christmas.

# – # – #

[JR: Regardless of how "Catholic" a Catholic you are, one can "pray for the unborn during the prayerful season before Christmas". As a pro-choice pro-life anti-death penalty little L libertarian, who spent a lot of years in Catholic school, I can only wonder why we permit the various Gooferments of the world, including our own, to kill people. Men of good conscience can debate when exactly that the Right to Life, as cited in the DofI, inures to a person. It's hard to debate that the widespread use of abortion, as birth control and population control, has DRAMATICALLY changed the species. It's hard to imagine a more self-destructive meme. Morality aside, it's just stupid behavior. And, this sinner joins the bishops in their call to reflection on this self-inflicted genocide. Donna Nobis Pacem!]

JEMAIL: McEneney, Mike (MC1953) reports on Sandstrom, Fr. Philip (MC1957)

Dear John,

   On Sunday, Saint Barnabas Parish in the Bronx closed out it’s Centennial Year with a Mass and reception. Archbishop Dolan was the Principal Celebrant at the Mass. He was joined by a large number of Priests who had served in the Parish in years past. Among them was Father Philip Sandstrom, ’57 who is now stationed in Brussels, Belgium. Father is responsible for two English speaking Parishes in Belgium, one is St. Nicholas at the Bourse rue Tabora, B-1000 Brussels Belgium.

   Father is in the States for the next week or so at which time he will return to Brussels. If any Jaspers are traveling over there , I am sure that he would love to see them.

   Best,
    Mike

A Sad Day for Manhattan College

*** begin quote ***

Today we are sorry to have to report to you that at this meeting that took place yesterday we did not iron out the parameters of the election. Quite the opposite. Instead representatives from the College (Barbara Fabe, the College’s Vice President for Human Resources, and Shelley Sanders Kehl, the attorney whom the College has retained) informed us that the College intends to argue at the Labor Board that there should be no election scheduled at all, that adjunct faculty, indeed that all employees of Manhattan College are not entitled to even vote on the question of union representation.

The College’s position is that its employees are exempt from the National Labor Relations Act (the federal law that guarantees most employees in the private sector the right to organize and join unions) because of its identity as a Catholic college. Legally-speaking, the College is invoking the precedent of the “Carroll College decision,” a 2007 case where the DC Circuit Court of Appeals overruled a Labor Board decision in Wisconsin. It’s too complicated to explain the entire case here — though we’re happy to go through the details with any of you who are interested in learning more or you can check out this link for a good layperson synopsis http://www.aftface.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=496&Itemid=99999999

*** and ***

What do you think? Should the College respect its adjunct faculty’s right to decide the question of unionization in a democratic election?

Write and let us know. We will certainly keep you updated on future developments.

Questions? Concerns? Suggestions? Interested in volunteering to help us win the right for Manhattan adjunct faculty to participate in a union election?

*** end quote ***

[JR: imho, I haven't heard a grievance. Have a union, just to he a union? Seems like making trouble for no good reason. As a Catholic College, the College has a special duty to honor "Labor". I haven't heard them fail in such a self-assumed higher standard. Is this about Secular Progressives winning something like birth control / abortion benefits from a Catholic institution? Maybe I'm a suspicious fat old white guy injineer, but I smell a rat.]

JHQ: Sociology Major Offers New Concentrations and Minor

Manhattan College Sociology Major Offers New Concentrations and Minor

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Current or prospective sociology majors at Manhattan College now have even more course options than before with a new minor in cultural anthropology, and a concentration in immigration and global sociology. In addition, the crime, law and social justice and social services concentrations have enhanced curriculum requirements and feature fresh components and courses.

“The new immigration and global sociology concentration is the first program at Manhattan to exclusively analyze immigration and allows sociology majors to gain a greater understanding of the challenges facing immigrant communities and the larger social development implications of these issues within both national and global contexts,” said Ricardo A. Dello Buono, Ph.D., chair of the sociology department and associate professor of sociology.

The three sociology concentrations feature and target the following career paths:

   * Immigration and Global Sociology – This brand new concentration offers a variety of courses and is geared toward students with career interests in immigration policy and advocacy, local immigrant support services, and international cooperation and development agencies.

   * Crime, Law and Social Justice– Students focusing on a career in criminal justice, law, community activism or human rights advocacy pursue the criminal justice and sociology of law concentration, which offers new courses in Transnational Organized Crime.

   * Social Services – This social work concentration is for the student looking to obtain a social-service related career after graduation, and now includes the following courses: Social Service Practice, Practicing Empowerment and The Modern Metropolis (a new urban studies course).

Sociology students interested in minoring in cultural anthropology are required to complete 15 credits under a departmental adviser’s supervision. In addition to three required courses, cultural anthropology course options include: Urban or Visual Anthropology; Anthropology of Drugs; Societies and Cultures of Latin America; Workers and the Workplace; Culture, Health and Illness; and much more.

“The cultural anthropology minor and three expanded course concentrations launched this fall offer several new avenues for Manhattan students to explore,” Dello Buono added.

Manhattan College To Award Dr. Marybeth McCall ’74 With Honorary Degree

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Dr. Marybeth McCall ’74, vice president and chief medical officer for Excellus BlueCross BlueShield’s Central New York and Southern Tier regions, will receive an honorary Doctor of Science at Manhattan College’s Fall Honors Convocation on Sunday, Oct. 17 at 3:00 p.m. in the Chapel of De La Salle and His Brothers.

During the ceremony, more than 160 seniors will be recognized for their academic excellence and inducted into Epsilon Sigma Pi, the oldest college-wide honor society. Induction into Epsilon Sigma Pi is considered the highest scholastic honor that can be earned by a Manhattan College student.

McCall, a resident of Utica, N.Y., earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Manhattan, graduating magna cum laude, and completed medical school at Georgetown University and her residency in internal medicine at the University of Pittsburgh.

After finishing her residency, McCall was assigned active duty at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Neb., where she was promoted to major in the Air Force Reserves. In addition, she fulfilled a research fellowship in allergy/immunology at Creighton University before moving to Central New York.

Once returning to New York, McCall started at Slocum Dickson Medical Group in 1985 as an internal medicine primary care physician. Four years later, McCall obtained an added qualification in geriatric medicine in 1990, and launched her administrative career in 1995 when she became medical director of St. Luke’s Memorial Hospital.

McCall advanced her career further in 2001 after completing her master’s in medical management from Carnegie Mellon University. For the next four years, she was chief medical officer (CMO) at Crouse Hospital, and served as CMO at Rome Hospital prior to joining Excellus BlueCross BlueShield.

McCall also serves as a board member for the Boy Scouts of America Revolutionary Trails Council and the American Heart Association.

Hello John,

I hope that my advice an be of help.

<<My name is Kathy Altomari Cardinuto – I am reaching out to you regarding my daughter, Jean Altomari, who is a Pennsylvania State Trooper. She grew up in Rockland, graduated from Nyack High School in 1997, and moved to Pennsylvania just a few years ago. On November 18, 2009, she was on vacation on a Carnival cruise with an excursion in Cozumel, Mexico, and was involved in a horrific car crash – she is paralyzed from her chest down and she will be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. She needs so much help – on top of medical bills – she needs to renovate her house to accommodate her wheelchair and her needs, and special equipment is needed to help her with her rehabilitation. Some of her former classmates and teammates at Nyack High School have organized a benefit to help her with some costs.>>

She may want to contact the Boy Scouts. To get to Eagle, boy scouts have to do a project to help the community or someone in the community. Several Eagle scouts have built ramps for access to peoples homes as their Eagle Scout project. She should contact the local Boy Scout troops and see if they would consider having a fundraiaser and making some of the modifications to the home as one or more scouts’ Eagle projects. I hope that this helps.

Regards,
Mark A. Mangone

WILLIAM FARKAS

Born: October 26, 1947
Died: October 15, 2010

William Farkas, 62, passed away on Oct. 15th, 2010 at a local hospital with his wife and brother –in-law Ken at his side in Hudson, Fl.
William was born October 26th, 1947 in Bronx, New York. He attended Saint Helena’s Catholic School and Manhattan College before joining the Military. Bill proudly served his Country during the Vietnam War as a member of the United States Army. He worked in the field of assembly, operation and maintenance of Nuclear and Conventional weapons. During a tour in Korea, he was injured in an unfortunate accident which kept him in the hospital for 3 years and left him with a medical honorable discharge. He went on to graduate from Engineering school and worked for Grinner Engineering. Linda and Bill were married in 1992 and lived in Embassy Hills, Leisure Beach, and Spring Hill. Together they have 5 children. It can easily be said that Bill “never knew a stranger” since he was never at a loss for conversation. He could talk about anything and he did love cars, especially his 1969 carousal red GTO and of course Cadillac’s. We can’t forget about the trains. From the time he was a small boy, his Father always bought him a Lionel train for a gift. He had trains running in his basement in the Bronx. To this day, he was still enjoying his trains, always had a vision of a super layout.

Bill enjoyed traveling to a new and different places and meeting with his favorite group of friends from ” Dunkin Donuts “. He could sit for hours enjoying a cup of coffee, had to be iced with French Vanilla, and a plain stick. He will be missed by all.

Survivors include his wife, Linda Farkas, Children, William Ralph Farkas, and Mary Kim Farkas, both from New York, Elizabeth Ann Farkas, from New Jersey, Aaron Detmar, Bill Detmar, from Idaho, and sister, Terry DiGralamo of New York, and grandson, Jakson Detmar of Idaho . A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, Oct. 23rd, 2010 at 10 am at St. Theresa Catholic Church, 1107 Commercial way, Spring Hill, Fl, 34606. A visitation will be held on Friday, Oct. 22nd, at Grace Memorial Funeral Home, 16931 U.S. Hwy. 19, Hudson, Fl, 34667 from 2-4pm and 6-8pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the charity of choice in William Farkas’s name.

[JR: Appreciate the thanks, Jack. Looking for a successor. I can't do this forever. I took the liberty of adding the links for the presences you mentioned. Can't expect old alums to know what to do. The Biz types can't "do" the tech of cut 'n' paste, and the Ingineers can't read to know what to "do"? Point and click. Then, no excuse. ROFL!]

NAME: GAVIN T. COSGROVE

Position seeking: Trustee on the Algonquin & Lakeshore Catholic District School Board in the Kingston and Frontenac Islands ward. I am a grateful product of this school system.

JHQ: MC Enhances Urban Affairs Program

http://www.manhattan.edu/news/news_releases/101910_1.shtml

October 19, 2010
Manhattan College Enhances Urban Affairs Program with Single Urban Affairs Major

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Manhattan College’s school of arts now offers an urban affairs major with a more concentrated focus on urban issues and no longer requires students to have a dual major.

“I’m looking forward to building on the past success of urban affairs and expanding into some new areas,” said Cory Blad, director of the urban affairs program and assistant professor of sociology. “In particular, the impact of globalization on urban space and the challenge of urban decline in former manufacturing centers.”

With the major comes an assortment of new courses, including: Street Art & the City; Urban Art and the History of Venice; Power and Conflict; the New York Skyscraper; Police and Society; and Social Class and Inequality. In addition, faculty members from other departments will add classes to count toward the urban affairs major.

Blad is also working to further expand the structure of the urban affairs program by increasing College and community partnerships and interactive public events, and displaying outstanding student contributions. For example, urban affairs students are working with LIFT’s Bronx chapter, which is a national organization designed to help alleviate poverty through support in job searches, résumé construction, tax filing and much more.

“One of the great things about an interdisciplinary program is the opportunity to really expand how you think about cities and urban life in general, and I am hopeful that we can continue to push those boundaries and grow this exciting program,” Blad explained.

Current and future students will still have the option of double majoring and minoring in urban affairs. For more information, please visit http://www.manhattan.edu/academics/arts/urban/index.shtml.

http://www.manhattan.edu/news/news_releases/102110_1.shtml

October 21, 2010
Rutgers’ Psychology Professor to Speak at Manhattan

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Rochel Gelman, Ph.D., co-director of the Center for Cognitive Science at Rutgers University and professor of psychology, will visit Manhattan College as part of the Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar program. During her two-day visit, Gelman will deliver a lecture entitled Early Cognitive Development and Beyond on Thursday, Oct. 28 at 5:00 p.m. in the Scala Academy Room in Leo Hall, and the event is free and open to the public.

Gelman focused early in her career on finding and demonstrating how preschoolers and even infants were conceptually more competent than assumed by existing theories. As a result, she went on to publish Preschool Pathways to Science, The Child’s Understanding of Number and the article “Language and the Origin of Numerical Concepts” in Science Magazine, as well as articles on both math and science education in Early Childhood Research Quarterly. She also has developed a Science-into-ESL program and preschool exhibits at the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia.

Prior to working at Rutgers University, Gelman taught at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California, Los Angeles. As an established expert in the study of preschoolers, Gelman has received awards from the American Psychological Association (Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award), the Association for Psychological Science (William James Fellow) and the Society for Research in Child Development (Lifetime Contribution to the Study of Child Development). In addition, she is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

“The Upsilon of New York chapter of Phi Beta Kappa is pleased to welcome Dr. Gelman to Manhattan College,” said Michael Judge, Ph.D., secretary-treasurer of Manhattan’s chapter, associate professor and acting chair of the biology department. “We are excited by her visit and look forward to stimulating conversations as we continue our tradition of a strong liberal education.”

The Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Program makes available each year a dozen or so distinguished scholars who will visit colleges and universities with chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. They spend two days on each campus, meeting informally with students and faculty members, taking part in classroom discussions, and giving a public lecture open to the entire academic community. The purpose of the program is to contribute to the intellectual life of the institution by making possible an exchange of ideas between the visiting scholars and the resident faculty and students. Now entering its 55th year, the Visiting Scholar Program has sent 577 scholars on 4,784 two-day visits since it was established in 1956.

Charles “Charlie” Bolz

Charles “Charlie” Bolz, 87, of Bradenton, formerly of Bowie, Maryland joined his Lord and Savior on October 21, 2010.

He is survived by daughters who adored him, Cebby McCarter and Charlotte Thielen, their husbands, Robert McCarter and Mark Thielen; grandchildren, Michael, Kevin, Matthew, Courtney, Elliott, Whitney; 9 great-grandchildren.

Charlie was born in New York in 1923. Because of economic times, his widower father, placed Charlie in a home for children known as Half Orphan and Destitute Home for Children. Charlie considered this experience as one of the many blessings in his life.

Charlie served as a navigator during World War II as a 1st Lieutenant in the Army Air Corps, earning the Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster and Air Medal. After the war, Charlie attended and graduated from Manhattan College. Charlie then joined the FBI in 1948. He was very proud of being an ‘FBI Official’ working on cases involving Jimmy Hoffa where he testified on behalf of J. Edgar Hoover, as well as the Watergate case. Jack Anderson, of the Washington Post, referred to Charlie as ‘The top fraud sleuth’ upon his leaving the FBI in 1972. At that time he joined the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Charlie then worked with the US House of Representatives, Appropriations Committee.

Charlie enjoyed fishing; playing golf, tennis, handball and poker. Once he retired, he and Jean traveled the country and the world. Charlie served his community by volunteering with the tax assistance program and Meals on Wheels.

The family thanks Charlie’s many friends at Freedom Village and his First In Care caregivers, also known as ‘Charlie’s Angels’, and Dr. Robert Koser. A Celebration of Charlie’s life will be held on Saturday, October 23, 2010 at 2:00 in the auditorium at Freedom Village followed by a reception at the Grapevine.

ENDNOTE: Divided from the “white” section by barbed wire

The Longoria Affair: A story worth listening to
Posted: 5th October 2010
By Jessica DeLugo

*** begin quote ***

The documentary tells the controversial story of Felix Z. Longoria J, a Mexican-American who was drafted and shipped out along with the 27th Infantry Regiment to Luzon, Philippines. He left behind his wife and four-year-old daughter.

While Longoria was out in the Philippines, he was killed in action. Although he died in 1945, his remains were not returned to the United States until 1949.

In his hometown of Three Rivers, Texas, the director of the only funeral town available would not let him be buried because he was Mexican. In addition to this controversy, the only cemetery of Three Rivers was segregated and Longoria had to be buried in the “Mexican” part of the cemetery, which was divided from the “white” section by barbed wire.

*** end quote ***

[JR: Speechless. How could Americans be so ... stupid. We need to see these lessons to avoid the same prejudices in the future. It a cemetery. Great Brother Jasper's Ghost!!! Are they afraid the residents will sneak over? Dumb, de dumb dumb!]
