Classic Car News
Leno on the Lotus Elan
Image: Katherine Tompkins, 2012
Talk show host and auto enthusiast, Jay Leno, has been producing an interesting series of YouTube shows about the various vehicles that he has in his collection.
The most recent of these deals is with the Lotus Elan, of which he owns a 1969 example, that has managed to cling onto its original paintwork over the years in spite of being modestly modified.
Leno reveals that he actually owned two Elans at one point and fell in love with the car because it helped to introduce him to the British fashion for producing lightweight, two seater drop tops, that were relatively affordable and offered bags of fun.
The 1969 iteration has undergone extensive restoration and its engine develops a healthy 160bhp, which is plenty of power, given that it does not weigh a great deal.
The second Elan that Leno owns is currently being restored itself, with engineers apparently adding a number of modern parts, to bring this classic up to scratch.
Some might be unhappy with the idea that vintage vehicles should be endowed with cutting edge components, although if you want to own a classic car that looks great and is also relatively reliable, this is a sensible move.

European Decorative Arts and Sculpture Cloister with Elements from the Abbey of Saint-Genis-des-Fontaines Made in Roussillon, France, Europe1270-80s, with medieval elements from southwestern France and modern additions Artist/maker unknown, French Marble * Gallery 204, European Art 1100-1500, second floor (Knight Foundation Gallery) 1928-57-1b Purchased with funds contributed by Elizabeth Malcolm Bowman in memory of Wendell Phillips Bowman, 1928 |
LabelAt the heart of every medieval monastery stood a cloister, an arcaded walkway surrounding a courtyard. The Museum's cloister is modeled after a thirteenth-century example at the Abbey of Saint-Genis-des-Fontaines in the Roussillon region of southwestern France, and includes sculpture originally from the abbey, contemporary elements from the province, and early-twentieth-century reproduction carvings. Medieval cloisters served both practical and spiritual purposes. Most were open air, often with a garden in the courtyard. A ninth-century architectural drawing known as the Plan of Saint Gall, which is considered a blueprint of the ideal monastic compound, features a large, centrally located cloister that would have been reserved for the monks. At Saint-Genis-des-Fontaines, the outer walkway held doors that opened into the dining hall, the chapter house (where the abbey was administered), and the church. In addition to functioning as a connecting space, the courtyard and its colonnade were used by the religious community for processions, services, and communal readings. The cloister also provided an area where individual monks could engage in private prayer and contemplation.Social Tags [?]european art 1100-1500 [x] period room [x] st-genis-des-fontaines [x] st-michel-de-cuxa [x] [Add Your Own Tags]* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons.

Hillary super PAC gearing up
'Ready for Hilary' website will go live in 2-3 weeks
As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton makes her exit from Foggy Bottom, there's a super PAC already waiting in the wings to support her in a potential 2016 presidential run.
While the group, "Ready for Hillary," won't go live with its website for another two or three weeks, its founders filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Friday.
"We want to be ready to help Hillary when Hillary is ready to run," explained Allida Black, the group's chair.
Black said the endeavor was started by seven Clinton supporters with an "extensive network" for fundraising and building grassroots support. While they want to be a "significant fundraising vehicle" at some point, Black said that's not their main focus now as they build the infrastructure of the organization.
The group's Twitter account, created a little more than two months ago, has nearly 50,000 followers. "And we haven't really done anything yet," Black said, sounding surprised at the turnout.
While Black and other founders have volunteered for Clinton, she stressed that she is in no way part of Clinton's close pack of advisers. "This is not a coordinated overture from 'Hillaryland.'"
For now the goal is to lay groundwork and generate grassroots support, but she didn't rule out spending money on favorable ad time for Clinton--even before the former senator and first lady makes her decision. "We'd love to do that," she said, though adding it depends on how much money the group takes in.
To say Black is an avid Clinton supporter would be an understatement. She said during Clinton's 2008 campaign she traveled to 14 states, knocked on 5,000 doors, made 15,000 phone calls, and went to 500 house parties. Black, who served as a Virginia delegate whip at the Democratic convention, made headlines when she helped lead efforts to push for a floor vote on the nomination.
She also helped create WomenCount PAC, a pro-Clinton group that raised more than $443,000 during the 2008 campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
A human rights historian who worked with George Washington University for 20 years, Black said she's been following Clinton's career for three decades. Or as she put it, Hillary was the reason she first voted for Bill in 1992.
From health care to rural poverty to education, Black said Clinton has long advocated causes that are "near and dear" to her heart.
"I marched with Dr. King, but Hillary Clinton really is the leader of my lifetime," Black said.
Clinton has repeatedly brushed off the idea of running for office again, but she didn't totally nix the concept during her joint interview with President Obama that aired Sunday night.
"The president and I care deeply about what's going to happen for our country in the future, and I don't think, you know, either he or I can make predictions about what's going to happen tomorrow or... or the next year," she said in the "60 Minutes" interview on CBS.
For Black, she said she believes "public service is in (Clinton's) DNA" and it would be "biologically impossible" for her to say no.
But if she decides to pass on a second presidential bid, Black said she'll continue to support Clinton in whatever she does.
"I'll be bitterly disappointed, but I trust her judgment," Black said.

GeniusBy Ginger Shimp, marketing director-professional services industry, SAP AmericaRead more postsSPECIAL REPORTSearch marketing evolves into a multichannel playSOCIALStudy: Social media influences b2b tech purchasesMEDIA BUSINESSSpiceworks CEO Scott Abel details novel business modelMANAGEMENTDigital Edge focuses on content marketing, social mediaMANAGEMENTFelsenthal stepping down as BtoB publisherPrevious issues can be found in the BtoB archiveFEATURESGUIDESRESOURCESMEDIA BUSINESSABOUT US |
One of the least appreciated, and still relatively undeveloped, values of social media is support of channel partners. For large companies that rely on an array of resellers, social media can be an attractive two-way street.
"Original equipment manufacturers can't do social programs for their partners, of course, but there's a flip side," said Jeff Mesnik, president of content management company ContentMX. "If I'm Microsoft, for example, I can get benefit from my resellers who write original content about their customers' use of my products.
"Then, as the mothership, why wouldn't I promote my partners' content on my own blog and reward them with links back to their websites?" Mesnik said. "The power of social for channel partners is that they can establish more mutually beneficial relationships with their manufacturers."
One of the most active companies in support of its channel partners is cloud and virtualization computing company VMware Inc., which offers turnkey marketing campaigns, content and social marketing training to its 55,000 resellers.
"Most of our partners are solution providers who are ready to sell, not to market," said Toni Adams, VP-global partner and alliances marketing at VMware. "So what vendors typically struggle with is how to make it very easy for their channel partners who have little or no know-how—or time—to build a pipeline and convert customers. Social media is part of the portfolio of things we offer to partners."
VMware's partner-ready campaigns are offered through its platform, the VMware Grid. There, partners choose the topic they're interested in, their target audiences and other elements, and the campaign is preassembled for them. Content can be co-logoed, and materials are distributed through the platform.
VMware also offers Social Media Syndications for Partners, a platform through which participating resellers can receive up to 60 pieces of content for social distribution. It also sponsors "social media 101" webcasts for its resellers, among other initiatives.
Resellers that are active in social media can become quite valuable to their suppliers. Altico Advisors is a reseller of Microsoft Corp. customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning solutions. Marketing Director Marcia Doron, an active blogger on independent sites that focus on these products, has caught the attention of Microsoft.
"I belong to the CRM Software Blog and the ERP Software Blog, and these have become extremely visible to Microsoft," Doron said. "The company often goes to these blogs to get its own content. In fact, Microsoft has started mirroring some of these blog sites, republishing many of their posts."
Doron said Microsoft hasn't yet done much to supply Altico or other resellers with content and that her major social liaisons are with fellow resellers. However, if she thinks that one of her blog posts may be attractive to Microsoft, she'll send it to her partner account manager there, who might tweet it out.
"Channel partners represent an army of people who are online and marketing themselves," said Omri Duek, product marketing manager at Visible Technologies, a social media analytics company. "But they're also part of an OEM's sales pipeline. We're seeing a lot of companies taking interest in helping resellers leverage this army of people via social."
Duek recommends that OEMs focus on their most socially influentially channel partners and reward them with recognition.
"Social is ego-driven," Duek said. "When an OEM gets publicity via the channel, it can reach out to the reseller and say, "It's great to hear you're selling our gear.' And the reseller then will say, "Wow, we're getting attention,' and will retweet the OEM's post."

The Detroit Tigers won game one of the American League Championship Series Saturday night 6-4 over New York in an extra-inning game, but the Yankees lost more than the game.
Shortstop Derek Jeter fractured his left ankle, and is out for the rest of the season.
Jeter suffered the injury while fielding a ground ball in the top of the 12th inning, with New York trailing 5-4. He immediately went down in pain, staying face down momentarily.
Jeter was helped off the field, putting no weight on the ankle, with fans chanting "Derek Jeter!"
Yankees manager Joe Girardi confirmed the severity of Jeter's injury after the game.
"It won't jeopardize his career, but he will not be playing anymore for us this year," he said, adding it will likely take three months to recover from the injury.
Girardi said Eduardo Nunez will be activated to replace Jeter's spot on the roster. He added that third baseman Alex Rodriguez -- a former shortstop -- would not replace the Yankees captain at the position, citing that it's been too long since he has played there.
Detroit won the game 6-4. Game two is Sunday afternoon in New York.

On this ship it's all about choice, including the option to have no choice. When you book your cruise you pick either Personal Choice Dining or traditional dining (and you can even change your mind when you get to the ship). With the traditional dining setup, you eat in the International Dining Room (or Vivaldi, early seating only) at the same table and same time nightly with the same assigned tablemates.
Personal Choice Dining is more of a restaurant-type option; in this case you can eat in any of four, themed (no surcharge) dining rooms, and you can eat whenever you like and with whom you like. Want to have a table for two one night and a table for eight the next? No problem. Want to eat at 6 p.m. one night and 8 p.m. the next? No problem. The only catch is the themed dining rooms get filled up, and reservations are suggested.
One change made by Princess about a year after launch is that all restaurants, even the specialty dining rooms, serve the same menu (each menu does include a smattering of themed cuisine) but the rooms themselves still offer unique ambiences. The specialty restaurants are Santa Fe, Pacific Moon and Vivaldi (after 7:45 p.m. only). The former Sterling Steakhouse has been renamed the Savoy.
Added in the restaurant makeover was Princess' signature Sterling Steakhouse; it's located in an unused-at-night section of the Horizon Court buffet area. The space features a more elegant evening look -- and the same menu as the rest of the fleet's Sterling Steakhouses. Service charge is $25.
The International Dining Room is also open for open seating breakfast and lunch.
The restaurants offer a good selection of wine from $20 to $50 per bottle. You can bring your own, but may be charged a $15 corkage fee. There is a charge for espresso or cappuccino. Don't miss a chance to finish your meal with the Italian liquor limoncello.
Room Service is available 24 hours a day, but the menu is limited. The breakfast menu is limited to yogurt, pastries and bread, fruit, cereal, coffee and juice. The otherwise round-the-clock menu offers fare such as deli and club sandwiches, salads, soup of the day, grilled burgers and cheeseburgers, and a few dessert items. If you're entertaining there are canapes available for a fee; you can also order wine, beer and drinks, including full bottles. On all room service deliveries a tip (a dollar or two for the average order, more for party orders) is requested.
There is always something to eat at the Horizon Court buffet on Lido, which also offers a bistro menu with waiter service (for drinks) into the wee hours. Lunch in Horizon Court is pretty uninspired with your typical hot items and cold salads (we preferred to grab a burger or a slice of pizza by the pool). But breakfast here is better than in the dining room -- the buffet included fried eggs, eggs benedict, cereals, crispy bacon, corned beef hash, French toast with cornflake crust and fresh fruit. With the buffet areas on two sides, there was rarely a crowd. Seating is indoors and outdoors.
Don't miss afternoon tea, served daily in the Pacific Moon, with sandwiches, pastries, and warm scones with cream (tea connoisseurs will notice however that the pour Lipton).
Another must-do at least once during your cruise is the reservations-only specialty restaurant Sabatini's, named for the famous trattoria in Florence, and serving an inspired Italian menu (again, Princess does Italian well). The cozy venue, with Italian music playing and murals on the walls, is open daily for dinner and occasionally for lunch, and a fee of $25 per person is charged. They pile on the food here, so come hungry. We particularly enjoyed the extraordinary cannelloni.
When this ship was launched in winter 2004 we were impressed. On a return visit we were even more impressed. The Diamond debuted as the Princess fleet's biggest, at 116,000 tons (sister ship Sapphire Princess also holds that title) and the first cruise ship built in Japan in more than a decade. This is one of our favorite ships in the Princess fleet and here are some of the reasons why:
Personal Choice Dining. There is one main dining room featuring set seating at 5:45 and 8 p.m. for those who like traditional service; in response to demand, Princess recently expanded to include the Vivaldi restaurant (for the first seating only). For those who want more flexibility, there are four, intimate, themed venues where you can dine fee free any time between 5:30 and 10 p.m.
Club Fusion is all about high tech with big high definition TV screens and a state-of-the-art sound system and a decent dance floor, and really redefines the concept of secondary show lounge. It's also the perfect venue for games shows and a redefined talent show called Princess Idol.
Skywalkers Nightclub, the sky-high disco introduced on the Grand-class ships, has been expanded and redesigned here to include more space and a balcony overlooking the aft pool.
The huge Internet Cafe on Diamond has, count them, 29 computer stations with flat screens and a coffee/pastry shop. It's rare to have to wait for a terminal. And rates are 35 cents per minute, which is cheap by shipboard standards.
The large number of cabins with balconies -- 748. Even though some of the balconies aren't exactly private (mini-suites on Dolphin Deck are totally exposed; cabins on Caribe Deck are partially exposed) they provide a wonderful space for stargazing, smooching, intimate outdoor meals and smoking.
We are even fond of the atrium on this vessel, a proud focal point including Art Nouveau glass-and-brass designs on the atrium elevators. The ship's shops are located on two decks and the atrium also boasts bars including the ship's martini bar, as well as the purser's desk. At only three decks the space feels like an upscale Parisian shopping arcade.
The dining rooms and variety of lounges disperse the crowds and make you feel like you're on a much smaller ship. That said, there are times the Diamond does feel big, particularly at night when you find yourself at the wrong end of the hallway from your cabin. We saw more than one woman take off her heels to make the trek.
Diamond Princess, with its four pools, plus a kiddie splash pool, extensive children's center and cutting edge entertainment and programs, is particularly well suited to families, and that's probably why there were a good number of multigenerational groups onboard: grandparents traveling with their kids and the grandkids. But couples will find much to like on this vessel too, including the fact the restaurants have a decent number of tables for two.
Public Rooms
We've made no bones that we like the layout of this vessel, from the enticing Grand Plaza atrium, a warm, central spot for meeting up with pals, to the rocking Skywalkers on the very top of the ship. Only one tiny quibble is we often got lost looking for the various dining rooms.
At Crooner's martini bar in the atrium, you can order a 007 (traditional martini with Vermouth), watch passersby and just feel downright sophisticated. The Explorer's Lounge has our heart for being such an accessible space, and we like the Egyptian-inspired decor.
The Wheelhouse Bar is bigger than on other ships, but still has a nice, club-like ambience and nautical accents. We were very impressed with the bartenders here who will concoct original creations if you ask -- one made a cosmo-type drink and then took out matches and burnt an orange rind to add extra flavor. Club Fusion, a new entertainment lounge with dozens of high-definition TV screens and an energetic, high-tech vibe, is just plain cool and a perfect venue for "Princess Idol," the ship's takeoff on "American Idol" (it's also used for other game shows and dance events). The Wake View Bar underneath Club Fusion (you have to take the staircase in the back of the club) is a hidden spot with aft-facing portholes that serves as the green room for the Princess Idol show (with interviews from there broadcast in Club Fusion). We always drop our jaw at the spaceship-like Skywalkers, and here the trademark disco and observation lounge is bigger and even has an aft-facing balcony (for smooching and smoking) in addition to floor-to-ceiling windows. Princess' wonderful stage shows take place in the Princess Theater. Get there early, it gets full.
Our very favorite spot for nighttime imbibing and chatting was tiny Churchill's, the ship's cigar lounge/sports bar, where we were as comfortable as if in someone's living room.
The ship's small library includes music listening stations. The wedding chapel doubles as a venue for religious services and computer classes. The Internet Cafe is huge and enticing, especially with its coffee bar (cappuccinos and the like come at a nominal cost, but the tasty pastries are free). Access is 35 cents per minute; wireless users can also get access for $10.50 per half-hour in the wired atrium.
There is a dedicated art gallery where you can buy reproductions and original art (more art is for sale, of course, in the frequent art auctions).
This ship specializes in affordable cabins with balconies (there are 748). More than 70 percent of the ship's cabins are outside. You get views, but you don't necessarily get a lot of interior space, or outside privacy. On Caribe deck, for instance, from the balcony you can see the balcony below and the people above you can see you. Inside cabins start at 168 square ft., and standard outside cabins are 183 square ft. Balcony cabins run 237 to 300 square ft. (and that includes the verandah). There are bigger mini-suites and suites, and the top Grand Suite is 1,329 square ft.
The decor is rather bland and includes mirrors (to give the illusion of more space). Bathrooms in standard cabins are tiny (but we like the Princess Eucalyptus bath products). Mini-suites and up have bathtubs. Nice bathrobes (waffle cotton) are available for use on request (you can also buy one to bring home for $45). Cabins have safes, refrigerators and hairdryers. In-cabin TVs offer in-house movies, CNN, ESPN, TNT, cartoons and Discovery Channel. You get chocolates at turndown.The ship has two connecting family suites and 27 handicapped-accessible cabins.
How good is the cabin service? Our cabin attendant called maintenance to replace a light bulb we didn't even realize was out.
Gratuities, which are automatically charged to onboard accounts, are $11.50 per person (including children), per day, for passengers staying in standard accommodations and $12 for passengers staying in mini-suite and suites. A 15 percent gratuity is added to beverage purchases onboard, including wine at dinner. Spa and casino staff members do not share in the gratuity charges -- if you use these services, tips are advised.
Fitness and Recreation
There are four pools including the popular Neptune Pool and the Calypso Pool with a sliding glass roof providing for all-weather swimming. Little kids also get their own splash pool. The pool near the spa is designated adults-only (there is nice private sunning space above this pool).
Golfers get plenty of attention with a virtual golf simulator on Sports Deck (Deck 16), $50 for 45 minutes. A golf pro runs the show and offers lessons (he also leads golf shore excursions). There's also a 9-hole putting green. Those who like to keep active will enjoy the jogging track, basketball and paddle tennis court, all on Sports Deck.
Relaxing comes easy at the Asian-themed Lotus Spa, where a reasonable $83 will get you a Couples Rasul Ritual, a treatment involving mud and based on a traditional Moroccan cleansing ritual. Look for lots of discounted day-in-port specials.
Some of the massage rooms have the basketball and jogging track above producing squeaking noises (the New Age music was turned up louder than usual to compensate). Still, the Blissful Hot Stone Massage ($175), delivered by a Swedish therapist, was one of the best we've had at sea.
The spa's Thermal Sanctuary Suite is a must-do, an oasis with heated mosaic lounge chairs, an Aromatic steam room, a refreshing mint/fog shower and other steam and sauna options. You can enter free with a spa treatment or pay a fee for a week's use.
A beef: The spa does not provide slippers (though they do provide robes), or even combs or hairdryers for those who take a shower.
The gym is a surprisingly narrow space in front of the ship with ocean views and dozens of implements of destruction (or construction as the case may be). It was less crowded than you'd expect with a California crowd, and rarely were the equipment signup sheets necessary. There are about a half dozen fitness classes per day, half for a fee ($10 for Pilates and SpinXpress).
Children and teens get an impressive amount of designated indoor and outdoor space (nearly 10,000 square ft.).
The little kids' Fun Zone is all primary colors and very kid-friendly. The Off Limits area is cool enough to impress even the most cynical of teens.
Activity-wise, Princess Pelicans (3 - 7) get to do arts and crafts like painting their own t-shirts and have a bunch of games and movies to entice. Pirateers (8 - 12) get to do scavenger hunts and participate in science programs (such as learning about coral reefs). Teens get activities like the "Dating Game," disco parties and casino nights. There's a shipboard Olympics contest and karaoke for all kids. Little ones will also enjoy the outdoor play area and splash pool.
Group babysitting is available (private sitting is not) for $5 per hour, per child, from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. Pre-booking is required.
Fellow Passengers
Mostly an American crowd, from west of the Mississippi (although there will be some Easterners too). Lots of multigenerational groups (grandparents traveling with their kids and the grandkids). Children and teens although not in overwhelming numbers. Couples in their 30's to 70's. Some singles of various ages (mostly traveling with friends).
Dress Code
For a seven-day cruise, there are two formal nights and five smart casual nights. On formal nights, men wear dinner jackets or dark suits and women cocktail dresses, gowns or fancy pants suits. On smart casual nights there's no need for men to wear a tie, although some will wear jackets. During the day, resort casual wear is the norm. T-shirts and shorts are verboten in the dining rooms.
Princess knows entertainment and the stage shows are very impressive. On our cruise "Piano Man," featuring the songs of Billy Joel, Neil Sedaka, Barry Manilow, Liberace and Elton John, with a piano player and the six-piece as Diamond Princess Orchestra backing up the troupe of singers and dancers, drew raves. And we particularly enjoyed "Undercover" in its premier season, an entertaining show based on a spy theme: 007 to Austin Powers.
During our seven-night cruise we impressively had three wonderful comedians as well as a comic magician performing in both the Princess Theater and Explorer's Lounge. There was music virtually at every turn: live jazz in the Wheelhouse, a crooner at Crooner's, karaoke in Explorer's, quieter piano music or strings in the atrium, techno rock (or anything else you want to request) at Skywalkers. Second-run movies are offered in the Princess Theater or Explorer's Lounge. Club Fusion hosts Princess Idol, a ship favorite, basically a talent quest -- several rounds take place throughout the cruise -- based on American Idol (if the smoky-voice winner on our cruise had an album out I'd buy it).
The casino draws crowds to its clanging slot machines and lively tables, with frequent tournaments and contests (on the Diamond, bingo also draws a huge crowd as does wooden horse racing).
On the activities front there is nearly always something happening from line dancing classes and art auctions to napkin folding to shopping and beauty seminars. Princess' ScholarShip at Sea program offers courses in photography, computer technology, culinary arts and more (some for a fee). On this ship you can also create ceramics, with a studio located above the Neptune Pool (bring home a fish-shaped tray for $22). Lectures are on such topics as "What Makes You Tick,' conducted by a therapist, and "Makeover Madness," offered by giggling members of the spa staff. (Note: The makeover lectures included a big sales pitch for products.)
There were two wine tastings on our seven-day cruise. At the $7.50 per person tasting, Marius from Poland told us about the vin-ee-yard, and said the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc had a nice are-o-ma, "very winey." The separate gourmet tasting was $25 per person.
A nice touch one afternoon was a public interview session with the Captain, where he answered such questions as "If you're here who's driving?" Answer: "I have no idea."
Movies Under the Stars (M.U.T.S.), the big-screen outdoor theater that's proven so popular with the line's newest ships, will be installed aboard Diamond Princess in November 2010. Passengers can enjoy movies, concerts, sporting events and other special programming throughout the day and evening.

To the St. John's Law Community,
I am writing to provide the latest update on the storm recovery status at the Law School. I am pleased to report that the Law School will be open for regular classes on Monday, November 5.
Power Update: Last night, electricians from the University and the emergency contractor successfully connected a large diesel-powered generator to the Law School's electrical system. More than twelve hours later, the generator is functioning well and the building is running on full power. We are in the process of resetting elevators, resetting the HVAC system, and checking the computer network. It appears that all systems are working properly. If for some reason the generator fails, we have in place a contingency plan to hold classes in other locations on campus. I am optimistic that we will not need to implement that plan; but we are nevertheless ready. I want to thank and commend the University's Emergency Operations Team – especially the Public Safety and Facilities Departments – for their tireless efforts over the past week to get the Law School up and running. Crews have been working around the clock to restore power to the campus and to enable the University to resume educational operations. I am very grateful for their efforts.
Monday Classes: We have been in touch with almost all faculty members, and I expect that all classes will proceed on Monday. If individual classes need to be cancelled, students in those classes will be contacted separately. We will be recording all classes, and storm-related absences will be excused this week. For those students who are without power at home, facilities are available on campus both for powering your devices and taking a hot shower. The coffee shop in D'Angelo is also open, as is the Fitness Center in Carnesecca. Although the Law School Library will not open until Monday, the building's wi-fi network is fully operational. (Personally, I can attest that it is a lot warmer and brighter here than it is at home!)
Make-up Classes: We are working on a plan to make up the missed week of classes, and we will announce the details later this week. I am optimistic that we will be able to make up all classes without extending the semester beyond the originally scheduled end date (the December 19 "snow day").
Mass Transit: As storm recovery efforts progress throughout the New York area, travel will continue to present some challenges in the coming days. Fortunately, the mass transit system is rapidly returning to normal. As of this morning, the NYC subway system is 80% restored, and it should be almost fully operational by Monday. The Long Island Railroad has restored hourly service on its four main lines, and buses in Queens have been running for several days. There are three different bus lines that run to campus (Q31, Q30, and Q46) and they connect with the LIRR at Jamaica Station, with the F Train at 169th St., with the E Train at Kew Gardens/Union Turnpike, and with the 7 Train (via the Q17 bus) at Flushing/Main Street. Mass transit directions to campus are available here: http://www.stjohns.edu/about/general/directions/directions/queens/transportation.stj. In addition, the University is developing plan for shuttles to and from area rail and subway stations. More details about that plan will follow tomorrow from the University.
Carpooling: Gasoline shortages should be easing within the next few days. In the meantime, we have created a TWEN resource to enable members of the St. John's Law community to arrange carpools. Please add the TWEN Course "Hurricane Sandy—Transportation Resources." There, you will find discussion forums arranged by county/region. If you are able to drive to campus, please add a message to the appropriate forum. Likewise, if you need a ride, please so indicate. For those unable to get to campus by car, mass transit may be a workable option. I know that when my gasoline supply runs out, I'll be taking the LIRR to the Q31 bus.
Facilities at Other Law Schools: The law schools in the New York metropolitan area are working together to provide support for one another during the storm recovery. To that end, faculty and students who may need to access library services, power, and wi-fi may use the resources for the next week at a partner law school that may be located closer to their homes. For information about accessing the facilities at other law schools, please contact Associate Dean Martin Cerjan ( email@example.com, 718-990-1578) or Associate Dean Larry Cunningham ( firstname.lastname@example.com, 718-990-7616). We will be providing similar services to students from other law schools.
Coming Together as a Community: Some students have already asked about what we can do to assist in the storm recovery effort. We have also received generous offers from students at Tulane Law to provide any assistance that we need (as we did for them after Hurricane Katrina). Now that Law School operations have been restored, we can turn our efforts to helping those in our community who need assistance. We will be working with the Student and Faculty Public Interest Committees to develop opportunities for the Law School community to assist those in need. We already know of two members of the St. John's community who have suffered devastating losses. Carol Laino, a long-time University employee and the former receptionist in our Admissions Office, lost her son Anthony, himself a graduate of St. John's business school, when a branch fell on their Queens home. Christine Sammarco, a 2009 graduate of the Law School, lost her father to flood waters in Staten Island. Please keep the Laino and Sammarco families in your prayers.
I know that the coming days will be filled with more bumps in the road – both at home (where many of us are still struggling with power outages and other storm damage) and on campus. I am grateful for everyone's continued patience, flexibility, and perseverance. We are determined to get our students' educations back on track, and to do so with compassion and understanding. I know that, working together, we can weather this storm.
I look forward to seeing you here on Monday.
Warm regards,
Michael A. Simons
Dean and John V. Brennan Professor of Law & Ethics
