MH370: Satellite images show possible crash debris in South China sea – live http://gu.com/p/3nfka

Fr. Jack Alexander, S.J.

Fr.. Jack Alexander, S.J. moderator of the Brooklyn Prep Alumni Association and beloved former teacher has died, 90 years of age, at Murray Weigel Hall, Fordham, Bronx, NY.  He is an exemplar of that rare breed of men who foresaking family for celibacy dedicated his life to the service of others - particularly boys like me at Jesuit high schools who will always be grateful for the respect we were shown and the example he set.- GWC

I'll take Manhattan and Marble Hill too

So before the ship canal was blasted (where the blue "C" for Columbia is painted on a rock opposite Baker Field) Marble Hill was a virtual island.  It was a hill surrounded by the marsh through which the Spuyten Duyvil Creek and the Haarlem Creek wound.  As the Times today reported the marsh was filled in, connecting Marble Hill physically and culturally to the Bronx when it was severed from the rest of the Borough of Manhattan by the canal dug in 1895.

It is severed from Manhattan by the ship canal.
