Gov.
Cuomo appointed two new trustees to the CUNY Board yesterday. The news is
mixed. First the good: Jeffery
Wiesenfeld has been replaced.
Wiesenfeld is best known for trying to deny an honorary degree to Tony Kushner.
Unfortunately he wasn't replaced by Kushner as some suggested. However, his
replacement has some positive aspects. Barry F. Schwartz is a business
executive, who manages MacAndrews and Forbes Holdings Inc., which is the
financial vehicle for the wealth of Ronald O.
Perelman, one of the richest men in America. Unlike, most
other CUNY Trustees, however, Schwartz has a background in higher education. He
serves as chairmen of the Board of Kenyon College, where he received his BA and
is on the Board of Visitors at Georgetown Law School, where he received
his JD. Interestingly, he’s also on the Board of Human Rights First, a major player
in the human rights world. Schwartz’s connection to Culomo is probably that
Cuomo’s former chief of staff is also an executive at MacAndrews and Forbes.
Less
encouragingly, Pataki’s Staten Island’s appointee, Kathleen M. Pesile, a financial
advisor and sometimes educator, was replaced by retiring Staten Island Borough
President James P. Molinaro. Molinaro is a member of the Conservative Party and
a Republican, who backed Cuomo in his election bid. This appears to be little more than a continuation
of two troubling trends. The first is the use of political appointments based
on patronage and political payback rather than any actual qualification to
manage the University. The second is Cuomo’s penchant for appointing right
wingers to important positions.
There
are two more mayoral appointees with expired terms, who could be replaced by
Mayor-elect de Blasio. This could be an
opportunity for a more substantial remaking of the Board, including the choice
of a new Board Chairman. Who do you think would make a good choice?
in order to balance the jeffery wiesenfeld/james molinaro appointments we need nelson mandela/jane addams.
ReplyDeleteProblem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.
ReplyDeleteI had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me. I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).
Reasons I chose them over the others:
1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.
How did they do it
1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.
My Experience I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very
different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!
