INDEX2012-Jan-29POSITRACTION: Screaming at old folks may be neededhttp://tinybuddha.com/blog/everyone-in-your-life-is-you/Everyone in Your Life Is You by Julie Hoyle *** begin quote *** “You validate people’s lives by your attention.” ~Unknown When my husband and I lived in New Providence, the capital island of the Bahamas, we rented a charming wooden cottage with a sweeping vista of the ocean from a sweet, elderly man who was 88 years old. Our landlord Leslie lived alone in an elegant house next door to our cottage and I made it a habit to visit him each day, after arriving home from teaching at a local high school. Leslie was lonely and my heart would ache for him. Having lost his wife a few years earlier, he was a sad, wistful figure, who would spend the day sitting with the front door open, gazing out at traffic and wondering where all his friends had gone. While I felt sorry for his situation, I was acutely aware of why people had stopped coming by. Leslie could barely hear a word anyone said and, as a consequence, my visits would consist of raising my voice to the highest level possible, which would leave me hoarse and physically drained. One afternoon after making tea and settling down to attempt to communicate, Leslie started by labeling himself “a silly old fool” and then related an incident I will never forget. Over the years I have recalled it many times as a way of highlighting the importance of being attentive and present. As the story goes, Leslie flew to Grand Bahama Island to spend the weekend with his son Derek. When it was time to leave, Derek took Leslie back to the airport, checked him in, and said goodbye. In the departure area, Leslie was unable to fully hear an announcement. Rather than making inquiries, Leslie followed a group of people moving toward the gate and, relying on a steward to correctly check his ticket, he boarded the plane. However, much to his acute embarrassment and dismay, Leslie later realized the plane was touching down in Miami, rather than New Providence. At different times in my life, I have been each character in this story, deaf to what others have been trying to tell me, unable to articulate my needs, and woefully inattentive and distracted. *** end quote *** This story hit a nerve. My Maternal Grandmother RIP was too vain to wear ANY of the many hearing aids her daughters bought for her. Despite being badly deaf. She was over joyed when ever my late wife would come to visit. Frau Reinke would literally scream, using her basketball coach voice, if that's what was needed to have my Grandmother hear her. And, she knew when to turn up the volume because my Grandmother would just smile when a response was required or say some non sequitur. Frau Reinke put a lot of effort out to communicate with her. Funny story: we visited Grandma's sister, who looked like Grandma. During the visit, Aunt Marion went to the head, and I said to Frau Reinke that she didn't have to yell at Aunt. Her hearing was fine. When Aunt returned, Frau Reinke apologized profusely. Aunt laughed saying she absolutely understood and knew how hard it was to talk to Grandma. So when you visit with old folks, remember Grandma and being pridefully deaf. I'm sure my fellow alums don't need this instruction, but maybe the lesson is not to be too pig headed about vanity. At least, not to the point, where others have to scream at you. # - # - # - # - # |

NY officehttp://www.law.com/jsp/lawtechnologynews/PubArticleLTN.jsp?id=1202540384318&James_Georgetti_Named_Managing_Partner_of_DTIs_New_York_Office&slreturn=1 James Georgetti Named Managing Partner of DTI's New York Office Brendan McKenna Law Technology News January 30, 2012 Atlanta-based Document Technologies Inc. (DTI) announced on Jan. 25 that James Georgetti has been promoted to managing partner for the company's New York facilities, one of 27 in their network of offices. Before his promotion, Georgetti served as assistant managing partner at the company. He was vice president of Skyline Legal Technologies when it was acquired by DTI in 2007. He will now be responsible for oversight of DTI's New York-based initiatives, including its sales, consulting, and operations teams. DTI is an independent provider of facilities and discovery management services that works with both legal professionals and corporate clients. Its discovery services include data acquisition, e-discovery processing, hosting and review, as well as paper discovery, and it is a primary service provider for kCura. Last year, it purchased Bridge City Legal, expanding into the Pacific Northwest. One of the main professional challenges Georgetti will face in the coming year is the company's move to an upgraded New York office. The new space adds electronically stored information capabilities, as well as high-capacity servers and storage for more efficient data processing, in what he calls a "state of the art" server room. DTI also plans for an expanded secure forensics lab, for a total of 10,000 square feet in Midtown Manhattan. In addition, Georgetti will be responsible for overseeing several new hires in New York for DTI, including a new senior project manager that has 14 years of law firm experience, as well as two new account executives. Georgetti graduated from Manhattan College with a degree in business management. He got his start in the industry through a good friend that "was able to provide an opportunity in this very fast paced fun industry," he said via email. He took his first position thinking that it would be a stepping stone to something else, but he had, "no idea of the career track that was available in this industry until I was fully engaged in it."

2012-Feb-01MFOUND: Mentioning MC track coachhttp://villanovarunning.blogspot.com/2012/01/march-1980-si-profile-of-jumbo-elliott.htmlFriday, January 27, 2012 March 1980 Sports Illustrated Profile of Jumbo Elliott Nobody's Bigger Than Jumbo Sports Illustrated, March 10, 1980 Rick Telander *** begin quote *** After World War II, in which Elliott became a lieutenant commander in the Navy, his fee leaped to $2,500. For this he coached track, golf and cross-country and served as the trainer for the Villanova football team. "I got by fine," he says. "I'd found that in the heavy-construction business a lot of managers were in their offices at 6:30, 7 in the morning. By starting early I could make four good calls before the average salesman even got on the road. My territory was the Main Line, with two or three accounts in the city—nothing farther than 25 miles from Villanova. I never had any trouble making it to school by three in the afternoon." In the late '40s the young businessman's track teams began to be noticed. Jumbo's first stars were George Guida and Browning Ross, both of whom qualified for the 1948 Olympics—Guida in the 400, Ross in the steeplechase. In 1950 Elliott coached a witty, balding youth named Fred Dwyer, now the track coach at Manhattan College in New York, who ran a 4:00.8 mile. In 1954 Jumbo coached his first black runner, Jenkins—who would win two gold medals (4 x 400 relay and 400) at the 1956 Olympics while only a sophomore at Villanova. A dynasty was beginning, and Elliott decided it was time to look for on-the-job help. He went to the university to see about hiring an assistant. Money, as always, stood in the way. Undaunted, Jumbo went out and hired an assistant coach at $5,000 a year, double his own salary. The assistant, Jim Tuppeny, later became track coach at Penn. "I was making big goddamn bucks selling, then," Jumbo explains. "So I just paid the assistant myself. It was a tax write-off, nothing." *** end quote *** # - # - # - # - # 2012-Feb-01 @ 09:21 |

FIKES Posted: Thursday, January 26, 2012 2:30 pm *** begin quote *** Metastasis is one of the most frightening words a person with cancer can hear. A team led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute says it has figured out an important part of how metastasis takes place. A protein linked to metastasis called CDCP1 helps cancers spread only after it is broken up by enzymes called serine proteases, according to James P. Quigley, a Scripps research professor who led the study. "This cleavage triggers a signaling cascade in the tumor cell that blocks apoptosis," Quigley said in a Scripps press release about the study. A paper on the research was published last month in the journal Oncogene. *** end quote *** [JR: A great find of a great discovery.

When Daley, a public interest lawyer for District County 37, New York City’s largest public employee union, is not in court or the office, she travels to Columbia University’s Baker Field three times a week to train with the Central Park Track Club. She is currently preparing for the 2012 World Masters Athletics Championships Indoor in Finland. Commitment and passion are two of the traits that she portrays in the courtroom and on the track. Sometimes beginning her day as early as 5 a.m. to get to the gym for her biweekly weight lifting session, she then heads to lower Manhattan to represent city employees in family court. On the days she trains, Daley may not even walk in the door of her White Plains home until 10 p.m. “Lisa has been an outstanding track and field athlete at the world veteran level for many years, and it has been a pleasure for me to advise and work with her at this stage of her career,” says Joe Ryan ’81, assistant women’s track coach at Manhattan College. “She was my first female competitive 400-meter runner that I had recruited to Manhattan, and she helped to set the standard for future athletes.” *** end quote *** # - # - # - # - # Daley, Lisa [MC1993] # - # - # - # - # 2012-Feb-04 @ 10:00 |
2012-Feb-04JBLOGGER: Scarlata, Richard M. (MC1964) does a "food" bloghttp://theliteratechef.com/Everybody has a story. It is how these stories are conveyed that determines the ability of the storyteller to attract the attention of the listeners. The same may be said of food. Everybody is capable of preparing a meal, but it is how the food is prepared and presented that attracts those for whom it is prepared and whether or not it will be memorable. Certain foods frequently take us back through time to our childhood, or to particularly memorable moments in our lives. Many of those memories are associated with gatherings of family and friends and the anticipation and excitement of being together, eating delicious food, hearing new and often repeated stories, as well as the jokes and laughter that accompanied each anecdote. What we have attempted to do with theliteratechef.com is to entertain and share with you some of our memories while giving you some cooking ideas to introduce to your family and friends. Hopefully you will find them easy to implement and they will become part of your memories as well. We’ve recently added a new Category, For Moms on the Go. Of course Dads on the go are welcome as well! If you like what you see, why not subscribe for an e-mail notification of new postings and updates.

2012-Feb-04ENDNOTE: Sterilization, abortifacients, and contraceptives w/o deductibleshttp://www.mrc.org/bozellcolumns/columns/2012/20120127104648.aspxObama vs. Catholics So when to the TV networks notice that Team Obama has an ideological agenda against faith-based charitable organizations, most especially the Catholic Church? Across the country, Democrats have been pushing Catholic social workers out of government cooperation. By: L. Brent Bozell Tuesday, January 24, 2012 9:07 PM EST *** begin quote *** Take the order promulgated by Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services on Friday to require virtually all employers to offer insurance coverage of sterilization, abortifacients, and contraceptives without deductibles or co-pays in their employee plans by August 1. Churches are exempt, but not religiously inspired hospitals, schools, and other charities that hire outside their faith tradition. "The government should not force Americans to act as if pregnancy is a disease to be prevented at all costs," insisted Archbishop (and Cardinal-designate) Timothy Dolan of New York, head of the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops. “Historically this represents a challenge and a compromise of our religious liberty.” That’s putting it mildly. What it means is that the Catholic Church is faced with closing down its hospitals, universities, and charities – or committing mortal sin. *** end quote *** I know readers here think I'm a real tin foil hat. The Gooferment at war with the Catholic Church, Christianity, and organized religion? Impossible! Couldn't happen here. Remember Waco? So when are we going to stand up for our First Amendment rights? You only have the rights that you are willing to fight for. I'll go one step further. We should be pushing back with an Human Life Amendment. How about "With respect to the right to life, the word 'person,' as used in this article and in the fifth and fourteenth articles of amendment to the Constitution of the United States, applies to all human beings, including their unborn offspring at every stage of their biological development, irrespective of age, health, function, or condition of dependency." Now as a little L libertarian, I don't want to put the Gooferment in charge of woman's body, or insert anything between a woman and her doctor. By the same token, we are killing ourselves as a species. There has to be a middle ground. Let's go on the offensive? When "Secular Progressive" say that "the rich aren't paying their fare share", and Bill O'Reilly pushes back with "What's Fair?" and waits for a number. They wriggle like speared fish. Andrew Neapolitano does it even better: "Who gets to decide what's fair?" We need to push back. It's not about abortion. It's about when does life begin? When do those inalienable rights inure to "a person"? "Among these are the Right to Life, Liberty, and Property." So when is it? Certainly, we can all agree that it's some point between conception and the child's 21st birthday. So when is it? Let's stand up for OUR rights. If they can kill babies, American citizens without due process, or anyone who's unlucky enough to to be in the way of drone strike, then it won't be long before they will be killing us fat old white guy injineers because it's too expensive to care for us. So when is it? “…if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” -Churchill, The Second World War, vol. 1, The Gathering Storm (London: Cassell, 1948, 272, on the British guarantee to Poland in Spring 1939. # - # - # - # - # |
