Awakening the Buddha Within at Lafayette College
I was excited to be able to address Lafayette College’s Class of 2010 on the topic of “Awakening the Buddha Within.” This very well might be the first time in Lafayette’s history that the Baccalaureate Sermon was rendered from a Buddhist perspective, so I was thankful for this unique opportunity.
The Baccalaureate Sermon has a long and proud tradition at Lafayette College. On June 16th, 1895, the Reverend Dr. John Balcom Shaw of the West End Presbyterian Church in New York delivered the Baccalaureate Sermon to graduating students there.

Students Poisoned At Queens Elementary School: Air Conditioning Fluid Sickens 74 Kids
NEW YORK (Associated Press) – Dozens of elementary school students were sickened Tuesday after they drank pink-tinted fountain water that was contaminated by a leaky air conditioner, city officials said.
Officials at Public School 20 in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens believe the chemicals came from a faulty central air system installed in a new wing. The chemicals are not highly toxic, officials said.

On This Memorial Day
On this Memorial Day I would like to honor the memory of two people who were not buried at Arlington. They were not soldiers. They were not even victims of religious fanatical terrorists. They were victims of economic freedom — freedom of Big Business to export the manufacturing base of America. To export the “arsenal of democracy” that provided victory in two world wars and one cold war and which would be badly needed by this country throughout the 21st century.
In February 25ths New York Times, three middle-aged men suffered heart attacks, two of them fatal, on the closing of a steel mill in New York State.

San Francisco Tops List Of Cities With Most College Degrees (CHART)
Recent John Carrol University graduate Rob Pitingolo was interested in finding out the “educational attainment density” (read: number of college degree-holders) in American cities. So he gathered the data and charted it — and what he found is visually revealing if not surprising. San Francisco leads the pack by a considerable margin with more than 7,000 degrees per square mile, followed by New York, Boston and Washington, D.C.
Pitingolo lays out the data and more on his blog Extraordinary Observations.

LeBron James: Cavs ‘Absolutely’ Have ‘An Edge’ At Signing Me
LeBron James is just one month away from free agency, and speculation about his destination is running rampant. One rumor placed him in a package deal with Kentucky coach John Calipari, while President Obama and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg have both lobbied for King James’ services. But it turns out his current team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, may have the best shot at holding on to him.
In an interview with Larry King, the CNN host asked James if the Cavs have an advantage at keeping him. The reining NBA MVP replied, “Oh, absolutely.”

‘The Outside Boy’: My Journey From Memoirist To First-Time Novelist
My editor once remarked that it was “interesting,” given my background in sales and publishing, that I chose to write about Irish gypsies in 1959 — not exactly the most commercial topic ever. But for me it seemed obvious: after writing my memoir, A Rip in Heaven, about my brother’s survival of a violent crime in which two of my cousins were raped and killed, I wanted to get as far away from writing about my life as possible. I’d had enough of ripping open the emotional scars of my childhood for other people’s examination. Or so I thought.
Writing about Ireland was a natural choice — I come from an American-Irish family. We were raised on a stern diet of Yeats, the Clancy Brothers, and skewed politics. I spent wonderful years living in Ireland, and then I moved to New York and found myself a west-coast Irishman to marry. When I started writing my novel The Outside Boy, I looked beyond the mainstream Irish tradition, and chose to set my story among Irish Travellers because I felt theirs was a community that was largely misrepresented. But I also chose them as my subject because they were so different from me, so foreign. I needed the comfort of that anonymity.

Turncoat Son, Death Behind Bars, Haunt Sonny Franzese
After running the clock out for nearly two years, the end game has begun for John (Sonny) Franzese. And it won’t be fun. The legendary Colombo family wiseguy will be the first New York mobster to have his son testify against him.
He is not charged with murder, but his stated expertise as a mob hitman – as well as the very real possibility of his own death behind bars if he is convicted – hang like a dark cloud over Sonny as he gets set for his final stint before the bar of justice. At 93, he is the oldest mobster to go to trial on racketeering charges.
