Radio Free Europe and the Pursuit of Democracy by George R. Urban
Radio Free Europe and the Pursuit of Democracy: My War Within the Cold War
by George R. Urban
Yak. 256 pp. $35.00
On a chilly December day in the last decade of the cold war, Emil Georgescu, a defector from Communist Romania and an employee of Radio Free Europe (RFE) in Munich, received a letter in his morning mail.
"Oh, Deformed One," the epistle began,
We have heard that you have begun to bark at us, you mangy Judas. While you were on the other side of the Iron Curtain, you devoured all you could. . . . Here you are howling against us; you have sold out to the Masons and the Jewish Mafia at RFE. . . .
If you don't shut your Jewish trap, we'll see to it that you will be gripping clay underground along with other contaminated monsters.
Be careful, viper, we'll be cutting off your venomous tongue.
The threats contained in this missive from Romania's secret police, the Securitate, were not idle. In July 1981, an attacker fell upon Georgescu on the staircase of his home, stabbing him 22 times. Georgescu (who as it happens was not Jewish) survived, only to succumb four years later to his injuries.
The Bulgarians, for their part, employed other lethal means—most notoriously, poison parasols. One victim was Georgi Markov, a Bulgarian defector and the author of scathing articles about political machinations in his homeland, where his broadcasts were heard regularly on RFE. In October 1978, as Markov was walking over Waterloo bridge in London, a stranger jostled him, poking him "accidentally" with an umbrella. He perished within days. When his body was exhumed weeks later for an autopsy, a pellet the size of a pinhead was found in his right thigh.
The USSR encouraged and assisted in the execution of such attacks, supplying, for example, the toxin—ricin—used against Markov and others. At the same time, it employed more pacific if not more subtle means. While infiltrating moles into the headquarters of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty (RL)1 to report back on internal deliberations and to stir dissension within the ranks, the Kremlin also spent millions jamming the airwaves in an effort to keep the proletariat from knowing up from down.
All this is powerful evidence of the extent to which the Soviet Union felt its grip jeopardized by Western broadcasting. But as we learn from this posthumously published memoir/analysis by the Hungarian-born intellectual George Urban, ill winds from the East were not the only foul weather the two radios were compelled to sail against. To Urban, who held a variety of posts at this key cold-war institution for over three decades, including a stint as RFE's director from 1983 to 1986, the peril to the radios from their Communist adversaries was in some ways less formidable than that issuing from the country paying the bills and setting policy: namely, the United States.
The primary difficulty was not what many might suspect—the fact that the reputation of the radios was undermined by close association in their early years with the CIA. To be sure, when knowledge of the spy agency's financial sponsorship became public in 1967, it did somewhat weaken support for them at home and diminish receptiveness abroad for their claim to be "surrogate stations," broadcasting only the kind of information and opinions that free media would have provided if the Soviet clamp had not been fixed in place. By the same token, however, in some quarters the CIA connection bolstered the authority with which the radios spoke, for, as Urban observes, "many in the Soviet domains liked to feel that the 'private' voices heard on the Western airwaves were expressing more than the nostalgia of exiles or undisclosed factional interests."
The more significant and persistent source of difficulties, in Urban's view, was the willful inability of those running and funding the radios (both before and after they had been disconnected from the CIA and turned over to a quasi-private, congressionally-funded board) to understand what Communism was about and how best to combat it in a war of words.
This inability arose from disparate sources at different times. One such source was the "vacuous pragmatism" and unrefined anti-Communism of many American leaders. In his capacity as a middle-ranking executive at RFE in the early 1960's, Urban wanted programming that would target the vacillating morale of Soviet and East European Communist elites. Through an on-air discussion of Marxist texts, he aimed to hit them "where it hurt"—in the zone "of moral conflict that we knew existed between their erstwhile idealism and their slavish yes-manship."
But to General Rodney C. Smith, the retired American military officer then running the two stations with exemplary efficiency, this Kind of approach was unacceptable:
He felt the use of unfamiliar [verbal] compounds and longish quotations from Communist literature was a flaw in our anti-Soviet credentials. Couldn't the unsuspecting listener take us for a Communist station through the jamming? Couldn't we, he asked, design broadcasts without quoting so many Communists?
But if such unvarnished anti-Communism could be troublesome, far more so was the well-polished anti-anti-Communism that increasingly came to the fore as the 60's wore into the 1970's. With distressing neatness, this soft-line orientation meshed with the hard-boiled strategic underpinnings of the Nixon's administration's attempt to forge a détente with the USSR. Where RFE and RL were concerned, the fusion of the two currents took the form of policy directives that kept distinguished opponents of Communism, including giants like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, off the air.
By the 1980's, the restrictions hamstringing the radios had descended from the merely droll to the manifestly absurd. As Urban complained at the time in a private letter he reprints here, "Many of the ideas President [Ronald] Reagan and Secretary [of State George] Shultz regularly incorporate in their articulations cannot be uttered as our own"—i.e., broadcast—"because they, too, would violate our Guidelines."
As ludicrous as all this may sound, the roots of the restrictions were not, it must be noted, exclusively ideological. A real question existed regarding the limits of what a government-funded institution should and should not say over the airwaves to the populace of a hostile power. This question was particularly acute for RFE because, as Urban explains at some length, a debacle in its early days had left a deep organizational scar. That debacle involved RFE's possible complicity in the catastrophe that befell Hungary in 1956, when an abortive uprising was brutally crushed by Soviet tanks.
Though Urban was affiliated at the time with the BBC, not RFE, he offers his own inquest into that particularly searing chapter of the past. According to the standard indictment, RFE was guilty of having incited the Hungarian revolt and encouraged it once it was under way; most damning of all, the radio was accused of having held out an unfulfillable promise of armed assistance from the United States, in this way helping to lead thousands of Hungarian patriots to futile deaths.
Plowing ground he has tilled in a previous book but making use of material from newly opened archives, Urban here rejects some, but only some, of the old charges. RFE, he shows, had nothing to do with igniting the revolt and never directly pledged Western military help; nevertheless, it made mistakes, mistakes with consequences measurable in blood. In particular, it ignored the way the advice it provided to the insurgents might, in the confusion of events and through the Soviet jamming, be misinterpreted by desperate men and women eager to believe American help was on the way. Urban's final judgment, harsh but convincing, is that in the midst of a great crisis, RFE's management lost control and permitted some "highly irresponsible" broadcasts.
This blot on the radios' history must, of course, be evaluated against the entire record of their works. Urban himself appraises that record highly. In support of his case, he notes, among other things, that the two European Communist countries to which RFE never broadcast during the cold war—Yugoslavia and Albania—were the only ones to descend into fratricidal violence when the old superstructure collapsed.
Whether or not Western radio broadcasts would have had a mellowing effect on the Balkans must remain an open question. What can be stated with certainty, however, is that RFE and RL did contribute mightily to the peaceful undoing of Communism in Eastern Europe and the USSR. As we know from countless testimonials, the stations, despite the jamming, were listened to by peasants and politburo members alike, and the truths they conveyed had a highly corrosive effect on a system built on lies, compulsory ignorance, and barbed wire.
If Radio Free Europe and the Pursuit of Democracy is not a complete or definitive history, it will prove indispensable for historians to come. George Urban, who died this past October at the age of seventy-six, deserves accolades for writing so engaging a book But Urban deserves to be remembered for other achievements as well, most notably the series of deep conversations he held with leading thinkers East and West that appeared over the years in the now-defunct British magazine Encounter.3 The "war within the cold war" in which Urban actively participated, a war in which words served as heavy weapons, contributed appreciably to the victorious outcome of our epic battle with a mighty and seemingly immutable tyranny.
1 The former broadcast to Eastern Europe, the latter to the Soviet Union.
2 The Nineteen Days (1957).
3 They have been gathered together in a number of volumes edited by Urban, including Detente (1976); Communist Reformation (1979); Stalinism: Its Impact on Russia and the World (1982); Can the Soviet System Survive Reform? (1989); and End of Empire: The Demise of the Soviet Union (1992).

Half Full
August 9, 2012 § 6 Comments
This morning after chores I set out for the most prolific of the half-dozen or so ridiculously prolific wild blackberry stashes that surround our home. Penny and I have a shared affliction which will not allow us to vacate a berry patch until all vessels are full, so I carried only a single one-gallon bucket: I couldn't spend the whole freakin' day harvesting fruit. It was cloudy, and it's been so damn dry that even the promise of rain felt refreshing. We've had maybe two inches of rain in the past five weeks, enough to keep things green, but only just.
The berries were absurdly abundant. Each cane was bent under the weight of ripe fruit, some the size of my thumb from the knuckle up. And I have pretty big thumbs. I picked the first two quarts in maybe 20 minutes, at which point rain began to fall, not hard, but steady. It ran down my face and soaked my shirt and stung the innumerable bramble scratches that criss-crossed my bare arms. I was cold, but to be wetly cold in the rain has been such a novelty this summer that I kept pickin'. Besides, my container wasn't full.
But soon it was, and I turned to leave. Before I did, though, I surveyed the patch and realized that, by rough estimation, I'd picked perhaps 1% of the available ripe berries, which totaled maybe a third of all the berries. There were so many still to ripen. So much fruit, so much food, so much abundance, and all for nothing more than the asking (well, that, and pair of sliced-up forearms).
I am just finishing my third book which, roughly speaking, is about money, a friend and his relationship to money, and my relationship to money. But even this is a fairly superficial description, because I found that when I started exploring this subject and these relationships, I uncovered underlying themes of abundance, scarcity, community, interdependence and, perhaps most profoundly, fear. I suppose I could explain what I mean by all of this, but then you wouldn't have to read my book. And I really would like it if you'd read my book.
Still, I don't think I'd be revealing too much to say that working on the book and spending time with my friend (who lives quite well on about $6000 annually, and is perhaps the most contented person I've ever known) has dramatically altered my perspective on abundance. I now view the world as being enormously, almost impossibly abundant; it is only our contrived fears and collective reaction to those fears that creates the perception of scarcity. The tragic irony, of course, is that our perception of scarcity is what drives the reality of scarcity for some, in a world where the essentials of day-in, day-out survival have been monetized and commoditized.
To view the world as abundant in an era of massive inequality and resource gluttony demands a shift of perception that is nothing short of life-altering. At least, it has been for me, and the fantastic truth is that the more I believe in it, the more I experience it. I doubt this is quantifiably true; I don't think that simply by putting out some sort of "vibe," I'm attracting more abundance to me, although what the hell… maybe it's true. In any case, I'm not preaching the prosperity gospel, here. Or if I am, it's a sort of prosperity that can only result from letting go of contemporary assumptions regarding the accumulation of so-called "wealth." To live a life that is subservient to these expectations is to live a life that is largely rooted in fear. It is a fear that is entirely convenient to the corporatized hand that feeds, because the more scared we are, the more we feel compelled to abate our fear with the accumulation of money and stuff. And the more we view the world – and each other – as being ungenerous.
If this is your view, come on over: I've got a certain blackberry patch to show you.
§ 6 Responses to Half Full
Wow! If this is the teaser I can't wait for the book to come out.
First, I have a six year old who would LOVE to check out your blackberry bushes! He never tasted a blackberry so delicious until about two weeks ago when they started to ripen and a farmstand up the road put them out to which he asked, "Please, Mama, please can we get blackberries?" and it has been love ever since. See, we moved to north central Vermont less than two months ago from Southampton, Long Island. We left some wonderful friends and a great community, but there was certainly an overabundance of overabundance. We did not want to raise our children, or ourselves for that matter, in a place where people had their second and third homes which are worth millions of dollars, yet are occuppied for one, maybe two months of the year. The overabundance never seems to be enough, the people never seem to be happy and our beautiful Mother Earth seems to pay the price most of all. I served lots and lots of these people in fine dining establishments and have been saddened and disgusted as I cleared mostly full plates from the tables. We fed each other and the cats, but so much of it wasted, thrown out, while so many have no food to put on the table for their children, themselves. So now here we are in Vermont, transitioning into a rural life, some see it as difficult for us suburbanites from Long Island, we are ready for the challenge. It may take us a little longer, but we are here to learn to provide for as much for ourselves as we can and to teach our children to be thankful for exactly what they have in this lifetime. The only fear I possess, not getting this message to our children.
Am enjoying having discovered your
blog, Ben.
inspiring words. I eagerly await the book!
:) em
Can't wait to hear that the book is available!

Get your baby buggies off the road and hid your collagen, everyone. Lindsay Lohan's out of rehab! All day it's been, will she or won't she? Lindsay Lohan and the Betty Ford Clinic are turning into the Ross and Rachel of the new millennium. Luckily for the curious, Dina Lohan officially confirmed her daughter's release, saying "It's a great day." Ah yes, those 24 hours before Lindsay has to go right back in are always the best.
On New Year's Day Lindsay tweeted some sobering stuff, possibly with her release in mind: "Today is the first day of the rest of my life. The future depends on what we do in the present.' -Mahatma Gandhi… One step at a time…" To be fair, Gandhi probably wouldn't immediately go on a shopping spree for fresh leggings or start drunk-tweeting Sam Ronson. However, since all us boring people get a fresh start with the new year, we guess Lindsay deserves one too. So good luck, Lohan! To everyone else: we weren't joking about that collagen thing.

Cooking and Baking
Preserved Oranges?
Right before I went on vacation in February, I was given a bag of fresh oranges. I didn't have time to bake or cook with them. In desperation, I preserved some jars. I cut the oranges into quarters and squished them into their own juices with salt between them (found the technique on Food52), figuring they'd keep like preserved lemons. Then I stuck the jars in the fridge and forgot about them.
Did I do the right thing? There's no reason oranges would act any differently than lemons, right? I haven't cracked open a jar yet. I'm kind of scared because I've never preserved anything before, so I have visions of dying of a horrible disease. How do I use them? Can they stand in for preserved lemons or will they taste weird?

Mallaebility, Amiability, subservience, group dynamics and leadership
Hello all
I'd like to start an open discussion on these 5 things as I've had some difficulties working with other people over the last couple of years and want to "man up" a bit now because my communication difficulties are making certain collaborations impossible. Not only that, i'd like to be a bit more professional in my approach to music.
I consider myself to be a competent drummer (although there's always room for improvement) and have had a lot of people wanting me to work in their bands over the last couple of years.
However I have a problem with feeling 'subservient' in a band. It seems like i quickly creep into this role. its almost like as a drummer i'm noty expected to have much influence over the musical direction - that i'm there to be malleable. I am quite an amiable person and i think people want me onboard because they like me as a person but also see "amiability" as an easy trait to deal with. I quickly get fed up of those in more of a leadership/ directive role. Maybe because i've been very patient with these characters in the past and my patience maybe beginning to dwindle..
As a side project i sing/play folk songs on guitar and banjo - traditional/original/contemporary and get more satisfaction from this because it allows me to make decisions, to explore my musical interests more freely and not to have to deal with the complications of group dynamics - it gives me the creative space i crave and somehow feels more spiritually fulfilling. But i can't help thinking i should be drumming because im good at it!
This outlook may be childish or naive. I may be letting my ego get the best of me and I'm aware that there's room for improving my attitude. I don't understand what's going on to be frank! But have posted this to see if there are other folk who've had similar experiences.

Adam Smith was born on High street in Kirkcaldy across the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh, Scotland by Margaret Douglas posthumous to a Presbyterian church minister and lawyer of the same name in 1723 – a protestant family in the Whig party in an era that Scots and English union was forming with the Jacobite rebellion in earnest, and Americans were resisting taxation by Britain. Adam Smith is now most famous for his book The Wealth of Nations, for which he is wrongly called the father of economics as if he invented the subject. But his philosophical work in The Theory of Moral Sentiments is however more serious and less misunderstood.
Close friend of David Hume (author of A Treatise of Human Nature), and contemporary of Walter Scott, Smith was inclined to analytical notions, system's thinking and a scientific mind if only because he had enjoyed a technical training including mathematics, astronomy, classical works of Greek philosophers (Plato, Aristotle, Cicero), knew Latin and Greek and was very studious. Many of his terms reached us including manufacture – meaning hand-made, the invisible hand (implying providence or God), propensity and in deviation from the Greek oeconomy, spoke of political economy which was further popularised by John Stuart Mill (1806-1873). Mill introduced the notion of utilitarianism in his Principles of Political Economy, followed by Alfred Marshall (1842-1924)'s Principles of Economics.
As professor of rhetoric – art of persuasion, Smith sought the origin of language, wanted to give a few rules to connect human sentiments and passions, natural jurisprudence and politics, much as in physical science and chemistry at that time a few mathematical rules and ideas were found to explain gas behaviour, making the steam engine (fire engine) possible. He collected and estimated even if crudely in some cases, statistics to support what he called the arts that contribute to subsistence, accumulation of property and the political institutions concerned with commerce, finance and public establishments. Hence the term political oeconomy. Drawing on Hume's notion of the partition of employments which Smith called division of labour, both were aware of Plato's notion that quality and quantity is highest in a community when each person focuses on those tasks most fitted to his own nature – his specific aptitudes. To this Smith added the condition that the worker has to be free and not be enslaved in choosing his job. His reason is that cooperative self-interest is what drives men best. Smith's considerable volume of The Wealth of Nations reflects the encyclopaedic spirit illustrated by Denis Diderot's publication of the first Encyclopédie in 1756.
Turned down by his first love, Smith never married. Before following his father's footsteps as Commissioner of Customs for Scotland in his later life, Smith lived an academic life holding the chair of logic and rhetoric at the University of Glasgow, moving to Oxford University, tutoring the young duke of Argyll (member of the Order of the Garter, later Duke of Buccleuch) privately in a trip to France (Toulouse) where he met Voltaire, duc de La Rochefoucauld, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni, Francois Quesnay. The royal physician Francois Quesnay was the member of the economistes who circulated his Tableau Economique in 1758, a model elaborating on how national prosperity builds up from the productive classes of farmers and landlords and the unproductive classes of merchants and workmen. Smith built on this model by clarifying the sources of surplus in the classes.
Smith saw the Scottish union with England as a relief from the oppression by the Scottish aristocracy. The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), the Bank of Scotland and the Ayr bank were already well established, and the British East India company was bringing tea and cotton from India. For example its Coffee-House in London's Suffolk street near Charing Cross was an area popular among the Scots and such aristocracy in London.
In similar vein Smith was sympathetic towards American demand for free trade when Britain was building its imperial power. It is not unfair to say that moral concern about civic matters of that age were a prime force behind his life's work, and not money matters as such. For him political economics was a means for addressing civic morality because he sought an analytical relationship between the love of profit and luxury for the rich and the poor lives of the hardworking farmers and artisans on whose produce merchants prospered so well. He was conversant with Stoic principles and natural liberty and with the works of Hugo de Groot on the freedom of the seas.
Morality, according to Smith, derives from sympathy, giving us propriety – a sense of right or wrong according to the degree of congruence we feel with the actions or opinions of another, and in consequence also of ourselves. We let us be guided more by the merits of the motive behind an action than by the outcome, focusing on how we as individuals would have acted in similar situation. Smith distinguishes between praise and praiseworthiness; the one guides public judgement based on observation, the other guides impartial judges based on reasoning. Similarly, he distinguishes between blame and blameworthiness. Both could lead to differences in the severity of the punishment deemed appropriate in a situation. Conscience promotes praiseworthiness and has aversion to blameworthiness. As a result, conscience develops scruple – regard for propriety or morality in one. Hence scrupulosity expresses conscientiousness.
By inducing respect for wealth, riches establish social class and maintain subordination in society, often with regrettably little consideration of how one comes about the specific riches. Luxury in consumption seems to start when man ascribes values to qualities (often sensual such as colour, form or rarity) that have nothing to do with any superior advantage in meeting the wants of nature. Thus diamonds are valued more than ordinary pebbles simply for their shiny look.
Smiths greatest fallacy is perhaps his faith in the invisible hand that he supposes will distribute the necessities of life efficiently between portions of society. This ignores the inequalities that result from birth, prejudice, propensity to greed, and both physical and mental endowment, quite apart from the warping impact of government as powerful elites dominate or subjugate others. It was rather naive of Smith as a Scot to ignore this warping effect of the ruling classes, given his awareness of the feudal history of Europe and certainly of the English domination of British social opportunities. As a result of this oversight, the dynamics of division of labour in relation to reward, the role of money and the determination of prices were treated ineffectually by Smith, and in large measure till this day in 2010.
Consumption as word became popular from Adam Smith's term consumptibility used in 1763 as a replacement for comestibleness (comeasttibleness) coined by Mandeville from comestible or edible based on comedere Latin to eat. Mandeville used the term for the opulence or virtue of prostitutes above honest women offering the conveniences and necessaries of life. The idea is that anything of value derives its value from those conveniences and comfort it offers. In Mandeville's view, prostitutes offer the rich a certain comfort; in Adam Smith's view, treasures offer a value that can eventually be used up.
Smith conceived Political Economy as a branch of study as to how to provide plentiful subsistence or revenue for the people and generate enough revenue (tax) for public services. Such a study would rest not on mineral gemstones in the ground, nor on abstract princely or philosophical wisdom, but on the division of labour in the production system to multiply total possible output of the working community. The freedom to exchange goods and services, plus individual aptitudes would generate the value of the labour of each one – yielding the natural price of his product.
Rather ignorant of the real history of money, Smith assumed that the prices of all goods would move towards their natural prices. By underestimating the merchant's penchant for high profits, Smith relied on the invisible hand to make prices gravitate to their natural levels. Faced with the difficulty of explaining the role of resources before a production process yields actual output, Smith turned to the idea of capital – in the form of latent output worth in fixed assets, and in the form of cash outlay required for paying variable costs. In grappling with this, banking came to his aid, if only in explaining the need for savings (frugality) during periods of substantial yield, so as to provide for means on rainy days. He expects capital to flow to those uses which give the highest prosperity in society – a notion akin to opportunism and profiteering with little or no input.
Smith's concern was about imperial royal encroachment on individual economic freedom through restrictions on exports, shipping and trade in general. He ignored the potential for industrial or sectoral collusion. Yet he saw tax as an expression of liberty if collected on an equality basis, and preferably on luxuries rather than on necessities. Pioneering as his work was, Smith ignored the treatment of issues like population growth, innovation and the creativity of entrepreneurs in the original opportunist sense of go-betweens without adding to value. This last point puzzled him as to why paintings for example should cost much more than the objects painted.
Pro Whigs and less of a Tory, Smith benefited from the landed estate lost by a family for supporting James (Jacobian) feelings in 1715. Smith as Commissioner of Customs had the duty to enforce trade restrictions, despite his preaching the ideals of free trade. His Wealth of Nations might mention the corruption and tyranny of East India Company, but he showed little opposition to the prohibition on trade with France. Even as Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow shortly before his death, he saw the disposition to admire and almost worship the rich and the powerful as the great cause of corruption, the jet setter that makes vices fashionable and reduces solid virtues to ordinary contempt. By bestowing on the rich the respect by his equals, wealth brings not luxury but the strong desire for esteem irrespective of character.

"Creditors have two decisions: whether to tender their bonds and whether to agree to the triggering of the CACs."
This is NOT true. Creditors can NOT AT ALL decide on the triggering of the CACs, but they vote for or against retrospectively putting these clauses into the bond conditions. That is why Greece cannot trigger the CACs if less than 66% of the bond holders do not approve putting these clauses into the conditions. Creditors can ONLY be forced to the debt swap deal if a 66% majority has before (actually at the same time) approved the "amendments". The alternative is an uncontrolled default of the country.
If they get the aid , shouldnt they pay at least 70% of what was owed ?

The Notre Dame Schools announces the formation of a new scholarship for Notre Dame Junior/Senior High students (grades 7-12). William Schoonover and Janet Peery Bowman have established The Schoonover and Bowman Endowment and Trust which will fund this new scholarship.
Mr. Schoonover, a 1969 graduate of Notre Dame High School, is establishing this scholarship in memory of his dear wife, Donna and her loving grandmother, Dorothy Hacker Gee. Mrs. Bowman, a 1949 graduate of Holy Redeemer, is creating the scholarship in memory of her dear son, Steve Bowman.
Donna Schoonover was a hospice nurse and her grandmother was a teacher. Steve Bowman worked in human resources and had his own business. Steve Bowman and Donna Schoonover both died from the same type of cancer. Janet's daughter has also suffered from cancer twice. William and Janet's hope is that this endowment will help discover a new and creative mind with the inspiration to crack the cancer code, develop a cure and end the misery and suffering from this disease for all future generations.
This endowment will make funds available each year in the amount of $6,000.00 to help students in grades 7-12 at Notre Dame Junior Senior High with tuition. The Endowment should last at least 25 years.
Guidelines and applications for the scholarship will be available on The Notre Dame Schools' website at www.notredameschools.com

Dog Videos
Dog Health & More
Friday October 24th, 2008
It was one of the biggest dog stories of 2007: Pit Bulls taken from Michael Vick's dog fighting operation escaped euthanasia--how seized fighting dogs routinely end their sad lives. Instead, the dogs were given a chance.
Breed experts visited the dogs and sounded out their sociability and fear levels. Dogs who fared well were sent to experienced rescue groups and foster families across the country for training, healing, and eventually, adoption.
It was a bold move, and a controversial one. Many people, including some animal rights groups, argued that fighting dogs are too damaged to ever be safe in a home.
So when DogTime learned that a few of those dogs were just across the bay from us under the care of BAD RAP, a local pit bull education and rescue group, we had to go see for ourselves. Last winter we watched, and videotaped, as four Vick rescue dogs strutted their stuff in a BAD RAP manners and obedience class. Like many, we were delighted and well, a bit surprised by the dogs. Although we're fans of the beleaguered Pit Bull Terrier, it was amazing to see that dogs raised in such cruel conditions were well behaved, eager to learn, and affectionate.
Three of those four dogs are now adopted into loving homes, a small miracle in a miserable time for the breed. Their adopters hope that by telling the dogs' stories, more fight bust dogs--and Pit Bulls in general--will get the chance to be judged by their own temperament and behavior, not by their breed or the hands they were unlucky enough to fall into.

Nashia Harrison, 34, accused of barging into home, stabbing ex-girlfriend
Bexar County sheriff's: Roommate answered knock on door and let Nashia Harrison into home on Oakchase Road
SAN ANTONIO - Nashia Harrison, 34, has been arrested after allegedly barging into a home on Oakchase Road and stabbing her ex-girlfriend Thursday morning. Harrison was taken into custody several hours after the 8 a.m. incident.
An arrest warrant affidavit stated that the victim's roommate opened the door to their home in the 7500 block of Oakchase Road after hearing continuous banging on the door and a window.
He told Bexar County sheriff's deputies that is when Harrison barged in and ran straight into the bedroom of her ex-girlfriend.
The affidavit stated that Harrison attacked the woman, screaming, "I told you I was going to kill you."
The roommate told investigators Harrison then began stabbing the woman in her chest and arms until he managed to push her off the victim and out of the home.
The injured woman was taken to a hospital for treatment, the affidavit stated.
Harrison was booked into jail on a charge of burglary with the intent to commit a felony.

The frita is a classic regional American burger created by Cuban immigrants in South Florida. While the standard is a thin, griddled patty with a spiced ketchup-based sauce, my take on it is a slightly larger version designed for the backyard grill with a boldly seasoned pork and beef patty, a creamier sauce, and more vegetables. The crisp shoestring potatoes that are the hallmark of a traditional frita remain the same. More

Serving burgers with Hollandaise is one of those ideas that borders on mad scientist territory. Kind of insane but pure genius.

Even the most ardent burger purists, in my experience, will acquiesce once in a while to a lamb burger. Though beef accented with nothing but a little salt and pepper will always be king, there is something about the gamy richness of a lamb burger that is impossible to dislike. While turkey burgers and other healthy alternatives tend to pale in comparison, lamb actually holds its own. More
For best result, use freshly ground beef with at least 80 percent fat. Try this recipe for our Blue Label Burger Blend. Sliders can be cooked in a 12-inch cast iron or stainless steel skillet in batches of six if you don't have an electric griddle. More
This recipe will work with any aged, semi-hard cheese like Comté, Cheddar, or Tomme. More

David Crockett coach John Good and Science Hill counterpart Ken Cutlip left Viking Hall in a foul mood Saturday night.
Just when it appeared each's team had punched tickets for Tuesday's District 1-AAA championship game, Dobyns-Bennett's Makale Foreman and Tennessee High's Caleb Easterling forced overtime with dramatic 3-pointers after Crockett and the Hilltoppers elected not to foul.
Subsequently, the surreal back-to-back finishes left the Indians and Vikings paired up in the title game, and Science Hill and Crockett with the consolation of first-round road games in the regional tournament.
The endings were almost identical. Dustin Day hit two free throws to put Crockett up 71-68 with 8.7 seconds left. Calvin Songster hit two free throws to give Science Hill a 46-43 lead with 12.4 seconds remaining.
At this point, the dejected Cutlip and Good said afterward, they thought they should've instructed players to foul intentionally when the clock was near zero.
"Last Friday against Greeneville in a similar situation we were supposed to foul and, you know, we just didn't do it," Cutlip said. "But tonight, that's all on me. … I wanted to foul … and I didn't make the call right there. I didn't put our kids in position. I didn't tell them to foul until it's on the other end and I'm trying to get us to foul at the point when it gets down to three or four seconds. But I mean, our kids can't hear me at that point. … We should've fouled, especially when they took so long. ...
"I didn't take care of our team in that situation – take care of our players. So I'm highly disappointed in myself but extremely proud of our players."
Hindsight offers a better vantage point, of course, but even it doesn't always offer clear answers.
"I thought about it (fouling)," Good said, "but it's kind of iffy if they get it down too far and they're in the act of shooting and they, you know – you never know if we're gonna foul when we're supposed to. But that's on me. I should've – the kids didn't lose the game; I did."
What really fouled things up were the difficult shots Foreman and Easterling hit. Easterling hit a deep one from the left wing with 3.5 seconds remaining. Foreman beat the buzzer with a difficult shot beyond the top of the key.
"Instantly, I think, it was kind of like you go from elation to deflation," Good said. "But we shouldn't have been in that situation. That's on me."
Dobyns-Bennett coach Charlie Morgan and Tennessee High's Roby Witcher can empathize with Cutlip and Good, and they understand their waffling on any strategy or lack thereof. However, neither appeared convinced they would've done anything differently.
"John's a very good coach," Morgan said, "and we always second-guess ourselves as coaches."
Would Morgan have called a timeout after a free throw put his team up three points and given his players specific time/foul instruction?
Morgan was reminded how much he doesn't like calling timeouts while leading in the final seconds after Syracuse's buzzer-beating win against Pittsburgh last week. Pittsburgh hit two free throws to take a one-point lead with 4.4 seconds to play.
"The other night in the Pittsburgh game I debated that," Morgan said. "There was four-point something on the clock and I'm thinking no, I wouldn't call a timeout. I'm sitting there watching the game (thinking) I'm not gonna call a timeout.
"(Syracuse coach Jim) Boeheim didn't have a timeout. And then (Pittsburgh coach Jamie) Dixon calls that timeout, and all you need is that little bit of time. And I felt like it gave them (Syracuse) time to set something up. And they did, and they knocked it down."
The end of Tennessee High-Science Hill, Witcher noted, was an argument for not fouling.
Science Hill trailed Tennessee High 52-48 with 1.9 seconds left in overtime. The Hilltoppers' Kaden Wampler made the first of two free throws and Daniel Sweeney tipped in the second miss at the buzzer to make the final 52-51. Yes, it was anticlimatic, but nevertheless, it was three points in 1.9 seconds.
"You see what happens right there," Witcher said. "They made the one, missed it and tipped it back in."
Percentage-wise, the proverbial book says, you're less likely to lose from that scenario than you are letting a player shoot a 3-pointer in the final few seconds. But fouling late, especially when you factor in the possibility of it being ruled in the act of shooting, is far from an exact science.
Ticking clocks and racing minds wreck a lot of would-be wins.
Witcher watched the end of D-B and Crockett, and perhaps somewhat reluctantly, decided he would foul in the same scenario. Well, let's say he definitely might have.
"We were watching that game and you think about things like that," Witcher said. "But man, I hate to put somebody on the line with the clock stopped. I just hate to do it."
So if Tennessee High's up three against Dobyns-Bennett on Tuesday with five seconds or fewer remaining, will Witcher instruct his players to foul?
"I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna feel really good if we're up three with five seconds to go on D-B, and I'll have to think about that question between now and then," Witcher said through a smile. "But I want to have that decision to make."comments powered by Disqus

This is by far the best hot towel cabinet I have ever used. It is perfect in our shampoo area. I am able to store 16! hand towels on the top shelf alone, and we keep 4-6 neck wraps on the bottom half. The door closes tightly and easily and it maintains temperature extremely well. Very well made and thought out.

After Italian teams failed to reach the European semi-finals, clubs are asking to be allowed a third non-EU player.
The rules restricting how many non-EU players Serie A sides could sign per season were imposed after the 2010 World Cup to encourage more room for homegrown talent.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Lega Serie A – union of clubs – will ask the FIGC to relax the limits on non-EU players.
As the situation now stands, a club can sign two non-EU players per season, but must sell one in order to make room for another.

This was the last day of the show and the actors gave it 100%. I liked it better than the movie. It's very physical, Shari Watts as Violet was superb. I am so grateful to Goldstar for providing myself and friends to go to so many great events.

Samsung's new quad-core TVs are powerful enough to actually be 'smart' TVs January 8, 2013 at 3:15 pm
Attaching the prefix "smart" to a piece of technology normally signifies that said piece of technology has made some enormous leap from a previous standard. While smartphones have earned that prefix, smart televisions have not. Samsung recently announced that it'll be putting quad-core processors in some of its new televisions, perhaps making them powerful enough to actually earn that "smart" moniker.
Toyota, Audi showcase self-driving cars at CES – no sign of Google January 8, 2013 at 1:37 pm
The cars are self-driving, but Audi and Lexus would rather call the tech 'assisted' or 'piloted' driving. Judging by these cars being demoed at CES, it seems Google has some competition on its hands.

Did a suicidal driver cause Torquay horror crash?
Posted: July 09, 2012|
Police are investigating whether a driver deliberately ploughed head-on into a family car to take his own life, killing a two-year-old boy and an unborn child and critically injuring their parents.
The young victim, named locally as Oisin Twomey, died and his father Con and mother Elber were critically injured in the crash on Friday while holidaying in Devon.
Police said they were still in critical condition in hospital on Monday morning.
The family, from Meelin, County Cork, were expecting a second child, which also died following an emergency caesarean operation at Torbay Hospital.

Police sources said a Polish man in his 20s was arrested at the scene of the crash on Hamelin Way, Torquay, on suspicion of murder, but later died in hospital.
It is understood concerns had been raised that he may have been suicidal, and his vehicle's details had been issued to officers. A police car had passed the Polish driver heading in the opposite direction and was turning to follow him when he was seen to swerve into the oncoming traffic.
Mr and Mrs Twomey both come from tight-knit families in Cork and their parents and siblings flew to the UK on Friday when the news broke.
Mr Twomey, 39, was taken by ambulance to Derriford Hospital, while Mrs Twomey and Oisin were taken to Torbay Hospital by air ambulance.
Both parents have undergone surgery.
"The male driver remains in intensive care in Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, and in a critical condition having undergone surgery," a police spokesman said at the weekend. "The 36-year-old woman, who was a front-seat passenger, was initially conveyed to Torbay Hospital but later transferred by land ambulance to Derriford Hospital, where she remains in a critical condition.
"The female casualty was pregnant and an operation was carried out to save the unborn child. However, the child did not survive."
The major crime investigation team and serious collision investigation unit are looking into the circumstances of the crash.
The force has referred the matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission as a matter of course. However the officer had not been in pursuit of the vehicle.
Assistant Chief Constable Paul Netherton said: "This was an extremely traumatic incident where emergency services were working on the family at the scene and subsequently in ambulances and at the hospital, and it has been traumatic on all those involved.
"It was a head-on collision at speed. The black Vectra was coming down the hill and appears to have swerved into the path of the oncoming car."
He added that the adverse weather conditions being experienced throughout the country did not contribute to the cause of the collision.
The road was closed for ten hours while the vehicles were recovered and forensic examinations took place.
Twenty-five emergency service vehicles attended the incident, along with three air ambulances, which helped to take all four occupants of the cars to hospital.

By: Christine VanTimmeren
The U.S. Olympic Committee says that Rochester has been named one of 35 cities they're considering for the 2024 Summer Olympic bid. The Olympic committee said they sent a letter to Mayor Tom Richards asking if he'd be interested in getting on board.
The letter says "We explore this exciting possibility, we are actively seeking to gauge the interest of U.S. Cities that may have the ability to host an event with the scope and scale of the Olympic games."
News10NBC called the USOC and asked why Rochester was chosen. They couldn't say, but what they did say is that the top 25 largest cities in the U.S. Were chosen first then the next were chosen because they "expressed interested."
But neither the mayor nor the county executive's office nor Visit Rochester said they were the ones who did it. So what if Rochester is chosen to bid on the 2024 Olympics?
News10NBC talked with former Olympic gold medal speed skater Cathy Turner. While Cathy agrees the idea caught her completely off guard and she's not sure our city could afford to create the infrastructure needed, she says, "Hey, why not?"
News10NBC also talked with Mayor Tom Richards. He says he didn't expressed interest to the Olympic committee, but he did receive the letter. He says a city our size probably couldn't handle it and couldn't afford it.
Mayor Tom Richards, City of Rochester, said, "I think that's nice but as a practical matter, we're not really in the running."
Cathy Turner, former Olympic speed skater, said, "I'm a 'never say never' kind of person, so 'hey, why not try'. And we have the surrounding areas. We have some good solid cities with Buffalo and Syracuse and surrounding areas. I think if we spread it out, it definitely is possible."
The deadline for any of the 35 cities to bid is a little more than two years from now. The USOC says they want to identify the city that has the right infrastructure and financial resources. The host city needs to have 45,000 available hotel rooms. Monroe County only has 7,265 rooms. They also need a workforce of 200,000. The entire population of Rochester is 210,000. They could put almost every city resident to work. We would have to create an Olympic village that sleeps 16,500 and has a dining hall for 5,000. And of course, we'd have to have public transportation to get to every single venue.

What human service agencies are assisted by Scottsdale Cares?
- Non-profit agencies that provide essential services to Scottsdale citizens are eligible to receive funding.
How many human services agencies are assisted by Scottsdale Cares?
- The number of agencies funded each year is based on the amount available (calculated from prior year donations) and the amount requested/funded for each agency. In order to be eligible for funding, programs have to:
- Promote the positive development of youth, adults, and/or seniors
- Strengthen the capability of families and the self-sufficiency of adults, and
- Assist Scottsdale citizens of all ages to address crisis needs
- Fiscal year 2014/2015 - (Click here for a complete list)
Why doesn't the City fund these programs?
- The City of Scottsdale funded $140,000 (FY 2014/15) to local human service agencies, but the need is far greater than what the City can provide.
Can individuals apply for assistance through Scottsdale Cares?
- No, only nonprofit organizations that serve Scottsdale residents may apply. However, the agencies funded provide a wide range of valuable services to youth, families, adults, and senior citizens.
Who decides how Scottsdale Cares' proceeds will be spent?
- Scottsdale's Human Services Commission reviews all applications with recommendations forwarded to the City Council for final approval.

I go every Saturday or Sunday without fail. Growing up, my mom went once every 2 weeks. My father in law goes nearly every day! How about you?
Fun: How often do you go grocery shopping?
Posted 02/21/2013
Once a month to Costco. Once a week to Target and local grocery store (these days I'm buying more at Target because their prices are generally cheaper). I go to the grocery store on Wednesdays - this is supposed to be the best day to shop as stores have fresher produce and meat for the new sales ad.

Dove Lake, two island, ranging in depth with carp to 38lb and cats to 20lb+. Specimen Lake, a small island at the shallow end. Depths range for 3ft to 18ft with an average of 9ft. Commons to 51lb, mirrors to 54lb, Cats to 60lb. Cafe and Koi carp shop on site.
Flouro-carbon hook link with a strong size six hook. Heavy lead on a safety clip to produce a bolt rig effect. Fish a big trout pellet over a large bed of trout or other similar pellet. I also did well on assasin-8 and ace baits squid and garlic over pellets. The fish are fed by the fishery on trout pellets and these are available to buy on site. This is very affective. In the warmer months when people visit the cafe they throw food in for the fish to feed on the surface. I had one rod deep in this bay between the islands over pellets and one under the bridge over to the island. All rods were fished from the far bank. At night when the fish come around this island under the bridge and feed. This produced many fish through the night and the other rod during the day. Make sure you use pellets and a lot of them. The ticket may seem expensive but it is great fishing.

The National Weather Service of Northern Indiana has a dense fog advisory, remaining in effect until 11 a.m. this morning.
According to the weather service, a dense fog advisory means visibility will frequently be reduced to one quarter mile or less.
COLUMBIA CITY — Two Churubusco brothers appeared in Whitley County Circuit Court Monday for an initial hearing after a search warrant turned up drugs at their residence last week.
Benjamin, 30, and Andrew Greer, 28, were arrested on methamphetamine and marijuana charges after the Indiana State Police Emergency Response Team (ERT) searched their home at 7755 E. CR 150 N. on Nov. 15.
According to a case report by the Whitley County Drug Task Force, before the search, ERT officers witnessed Andrew throwing items out of the upstairs window onto a lower roof.
SOUTH WHITLEY — Like a fresh wound, the memory of Anthony Wagner's death is a sensitive and raw memory for Travis Leon — even after a decade has past.
Wagner, of South Whitley, and Leon, of Fort Wayne, were childhood friends and found themselves in the 293rd National Guard Division of Indiana in 2002.
Wagner joined the National Guard in 2001, a little more than a month after his 21st birthday. Leon was right behind him.
Private First Class Wagner received notice in October of 2002 that he had been activated and would be leaving the states to serve in Iraq.
COLUMBIA CITY — After taking a break to plan his retirement, newly elected Whitley County Consolidated School board member Bill Tucker said he is ready for a second go-around.
"I'm humbled by the support the community has given me, and I'm anxious to get back on the board," said Tucker.
Tucker first served as a WCCS Jefferson Township board member seven years ago, when he was approached by board members and asked to consider the job.
CHURUBUSCO — A Fort Wayne fireman was laid to rest at Churubusco's Riverview Cemetery Saturday, after he was killed in the line of duty last week.
Fireman Mark A. Haudenschild II, Washington Township (Allen County), was killed after the tanker he was driving flipped over en route to a grass fire.
More than 1,000 people attended the funeral — firemen and fire trucks from every department in Whitley County were in attendance.
COLUMBIA CITY — Christmas carols wafted through Indian Springs Middle School Saturday.
Members of Columbia City High School's show choirs, City Heat and City Lights, performed for patrons at their annual holiday bazaar, Yuletide Treasurers.
The event was a fundraiser for the choir program and featured a large assortment of vendors.
COLUMBIA CITY — Every two years, Whitley County bridges are inspected to ensure the existing structures are safe for use.
Currently, the county is working to hand over the plans for a bridge repair project located at CR 600 N. west of 450 E.
"It's the only one that we have left on the list that's fracture-critical," said Whitley County Engineer Brandon Forrester.
According to Forrester, the bridge is 23 and a half feet in length and width and nearly 40 years old.
COLUMBIA CITY — Eggnog, pumpkin pie, cookies and candies — it's enough to make anyone's mouth water. The holiday season isn't complete without the tasty treats that come with parties and get-togethers. However, the weight gained during the months of November and December can make some don more than their gay apparel.
To combat bulging bellies, Whitley County YMCA is offering a holiday edition of its annual challenge, Whitley Weighs In.
David L. Sleighter, 55, of Columbia City, passed away at 5:28 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16, 2012, at Parkview Whitley Hospital, Columbia City.
Born Dec. 18, 1956, in Columbia City, he was the son of David C. and Mary M. (Busz) Sleighter.
Surviving relatives include two daughters, two sisters, a half-sister, four grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and daughter, Janel Sleighter.
COLUMBIA CITY — After nearly a complete turn-around of last week's Columbia City girls basketball game — when the Lady Eagles had 38 turnovers and lost by more than 20 points to Snider — Columbia City came within two seconds of a win over Marion Saturday.
Despite Macie Hinen's comeback — scoring twice in the final minute to take a three-point lead — Marion scored twice in the final four seconds to win, 43-40.
Emily Whiteleather led Columbia City in scoring and rebounds with a double-double, 10 points and 15 rebounds.

This is the best 9.7 on the market. Bluewater Ropes are known for their safety, durability and most importantly their SOFT CATCH. I swear by these ropes and love the fact that Bluewater is an American Made, and Family Owned Company, which is a rarity these days! Also, Bluewater has the best quality control in the business and hand inspects every inch of rope that goes out their door. If you want one rope that does it all, look no further.
