Krotkov, Yuri
Krotkov, Yuri 1917–
Krotkov is a Russian novelist, dramatist, autobiographer, and screenwriter who defected to the West in 1963. He has utilized several literary genres to describe life in Russia: the documentary, as in The Angry Exile; the burlesque novel, as in The Red Monarch; and, most recently and most controversially, the documentary novel, as in The Nobel Prize. This last work tells the story of Boris Pasternak, fictionalizing the real events concerning the Nobel Prize he won, but was not permitted to accept. (See also Contemporary Authors, Vol. 102.)
The Times Literary Supplement
In September, 1963, Mr. Krotkov, one of a visiting delegation of Soviet film-workers, walked out of his hotel and down the Bayswater Road wearing his three shirts and two suits one on top of the other and asked for political asylum in Britain. [The Angry Exile] is an attempt to record the thoughts and experiences that brought him to this decision and at the same time to expose to the English-reading public the Soviet myth.
There is no doubting that Mr. Krotkov is a sincere man, and an angry man, as he reiterates. He was also a brave man…. But these qualities are not enough in themselves to make for a convincing denunciation of Soviet society…. Sometimes Mr. Krotkov is willing to repeat hearsay when his book's chief claim on our attention is that it is a record of direct experience; at other times he falls back on extremely vague general notions of what human nature needs but is denied by the Soviet system.
All this is a great pity, because in his experience there is the material for a very telling denunciation, had it been organized by a colder and more discriminating eye. Where he describes the endless and unpredictable procedures for obtaining an exit visa—in no way overdone—comment is not needed, and once or twice he touches, almost without realizing it, on the gravest of all criticisms of the present Soviet regime: many hardships can be justified if there is equality of sacrifice; but where a...

[I Am From Moscow] presents a simple, lucid, and convincing account of life in the Khrushchev era. (p. 138)
Much of the book deals with the petty concerns of daily life, commuting, shopping, negotiating with the bureaucracy. These themes once provided material for the satires of Zoschenko and of Ilf and Petrov, but in recent decades have been considered too serious for laughter. Krotkov deals with these subjects in incisive personal terms and also writes with complete frankness about the problems of sex and family life usually concealed by the "hypocritical puritanism" of the Communists. Thanks to a lively sense of humor he can present the funny as well as the sad aspects of his experience in the Soviet Union. (p. 139)

The Red Monarch is … a very funny book. Certain givens have been attributed to dissenting Soviet humor. First: that it must be, by chemistry, satiric. Second: (the direct corollary of Given #1) that it must be risky: therefore (sub-corollary) at least half-serious in intent. A monolith like Stalin attracts satire because any decent monolith will ascribe all truth to itself. But humor can't stand absolute truth: it revels in difference and not just the difference of dialectic. It has a Panurgic spirit. Every part of the Hegelian formula—thesis, antithesis, synthesis, and around again—is subject to its corrupting influence. Given #3: that, underpinning Soviet satire, there will be some kind of self-mockery: a bitterness or at least a dull resignation: Our government is ludicrous but still we put up with it and that's not so amusing. You can sense this uneasiness throughout Gulag. Every Russian satirist his own butt at last.
Not Krotkov. His "scenes" are lucid farce: the Josip and Lavrenti act will bust you up: Groucho and Harpo running a banana-peel republic. No wonder Stalin conned the Russians: they were expecting someone from a Chekhov play. The Stalin-Mao interview and the interview between Stalin and Stalin's double are pure totalitarian slapstick. I don't deny Krotkov his moments of poignance or shredding cynicism, but these are—unfortunately—familiar in dissident fiction. The joyous burlesque was new...

['The Nobel Prize' is about] the 1958 prize for literature bestowed on Boris Pasternak and renounced by him under extreme and vicious pressure from the Soviet authorities, who threatened him with lifelong banishment….
Mr Krotkov has been seized with the idea of turning the story of this conflict into a novel. He knew Pasternak and his family quite well; he had observed Khrushchev at close quarters; he knew something of the political background to the condemnation of 'Dr Zhivago' and the subsequent harrying of its author to a premature death. He knew more than most about the complex relationship between Pasternak, his wife Zinaida, and his mistress, Olga Ivinskaya (who was rushed off to a labour-camp as soon as he was dead).
But all this knowledge is wasted because, presented in novel form, it is mixed up with a great deal of non-knowledge; so that the reader has no idea of what is fact and what is not….
[To] build a whole fiction out of the living and recently dead, appearing in their own characters under their own names, [is] beyond the powers of the most supreme genius. This is what Mr Krotkov has undertaken to do, evidently not understanding that when a novelist introduces real characters and offers what purports to be their secret thoughts and private words and actions, the reader's disbelief can no longer be suspended.
And the reader is right to disbelieve. The novelist...

Important issues are debated by characters throughout ["The Nobel Prize"]. These include the dichotomy between freedom in the West and the crushing power of money, the notion that technology enslaves the individual, the pros and cons of capitalism vs. collectivism, the implications of the old generation giving way to the new, and, most important, the idea that in Soviet society, the individual is forced to compromise his or her integrity and beliefs to survive.
But "The Nobel Prize" is not simply a series of two-dimensional characters arguing pat ideological questions. Perhaps the most laudable quality in this excellent novel is Krotkov's ability to make his literary and historical figures human. Fedin, often portrayed as a literary mouthpiece for the party, is shown as having doubts about his convictions….
Similarly, Nikita Khrushchev, party head, is depicted as a thinking man, a leader with a conscience. Obsessed with dissociating himself from Stalin and a legacy of terror, Khrushchev discovers he is enslaved by his very position. Pasternak's award forces Khrushchev to face crucial issues, and the final picture of the leader is of a man helplessly trapped by his own human frailties and weaknesses.
Pasternak himself, labeled a "salon poet" and a "Narcissus" by the Soviet press because of his "coldness to social issues" and philosophy of individualism, emerges as a heroic figure, yet completely...

I am not sure what Yuri Krotkov was trying to achieve in [The Nobel Prize]. Was he paying his own tribute to the memory of a great poet, Boris Pasternak?…
Or perhaps—in fact more probably—Mr Krotkov intended to study the tragic dilemma of Pasternak vis-à-vis the state. The terrible position in which he found himself—knowing that acceptance of the Nobel Prize (and thereby standing up publicly for the freedom of the artist) would mean him being forced to leave his homeland—only brought to a head the struggle which had been going on in his conscience since the beginning of the Bolshevik era. Never had he betrayed his principles or his fellow-man; but … he had striven to see some good in Stalin and in the creation of a socialist state. The storm of abuse over Doctor Zhivago fell on a writer who could at least half-persuade himself that he was not anti-Soviet.
He faced, simultaneously, the evil of Russian society and the impossibility of his soul being able to live anywhere else. A tragedy of Greek proportions: and again Mr Krotkov is not capable of exploring it….
[We] are invited to imagine Pasternak's thoughts before going to sleep:
Pasternak lay awake for a long time. The last thought that flashed through his mind was the thought that Bernard Shaw had lived as an individualist, but had advocated socialism. So had Picasso, Sartre and...

Rather than a novel, I wish the author [of The Nobel Prize], Yuri Krotkov, had written a memoir on this subject which he knew at first hand, as a leading literary figure in Soviet Russia at the time and an insider to political circles…. Much of the detail I have no doubt is authentic: the houses and habits of life of Pasternak and Khrushchev, for example, I assume were as Krotkov describes them. Often he clearly departs from what he could have witnessed or reliably learned, but I'm willing to grant him this novelist's prerogative so long as he exercises it to good effect. Sometimes he does, as in the story he tells about the Khrushchevs's reading of Doctor Zhivago. The Soviet premier didn't bother to read the novel whose author he decided must be threatened, vilified, coerced by any means to renounce the Nobel Prize. Instead he had it read by Nina, who liked it, thought it too esoteric anyway to have much effect on the masses, and recommended that it be allowed to circulate: an opinion her husband peremptorily disregarded at the time—but came to agree with years later, when Nikita got to reading the book after Pasternak's death and his own deposition from power. Whether or not all this is true—and that last part especially is surely outside the province of Krotkov's knowledge—it seems in character with Nina and Nikita, and makes a nice novelistic irony. The Nobel Prize is Tolstoyan in at least one way: in the omniscience the...

The Lieutenant Governor announced the special order to be the fee and salary bill [S. 369].
Mr. BROWN moved to lay aside the special order and take up the bill [S. 298], concerning the re-location of County Seats.
Mr. BENZ saw no necessity to take this bill up; it is local in its effect and we have important measures before us. This bill only refers to Johnson County and he hoped it would not be taken up.
Mr. BROWN had asked no other favor of this kind, but many of his constituents desiring this bill he felt it a duty to ask the passage of it. It authorizes a change of County Seats on petition of 65 per cent. of the voters, and has provisions for appeal to Circuits and to Supreme Court, and carefully guards the voting.
The motion was rejected--yeas, 11; nays, 25.
Mr. MENZIES moved to lay side the fee and salary bill and take up the bill [H. R. 437] for the publication of the Revised Statutes of 1881. He said the fee and salary bill can not be acted upon and become a law this session. It has not progressed one step. He voted all the time yesterday to take it up, and if it could be passed this session he would vote for it. It is here, an obstacle to bills that have passed the House, and should be laid aside for more important matters.
page: 167[View Page 167]Mr. LANGDON understood his side of the House would make a reasonable effort to take up and examine the feel bill. It is understood that this class of legislation could not be taken until after the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment. In the past fee bills have been passed in a few hours; and now let us look into the bill and see how it conforms to the will of the majority, and if it is found impracticable it can be laid aside.
Mr. BROWN said the Senator concedes that there is no possibility of passing a fee and salary bill this session. This bill can not stand before a Justice of the Peace, it being contrary to the new amendment and to the Constitution. It is a cheat and a fraud which would represent the ignorance of the Legislature in basing compensation entirely upon population and not upon services rendered. It is as iniquitous a piece of legislation upon fees and salaries as ever was devised. He had heard no outcry in the State other than that Sheriffs have duplicated mileage in the serving of processf and Clerks charged constructive fees, but this Legislature passed a law yesterday remedying these evils. He could not repeat one-third of the important questions demanding action, and it shall go to the country that the Democratic party has not impeded legislation.
Mr. CHAPMAN cited among the chief business that should be done by this General Assembly the passage of a fee and salary bill. The complaint referred to by the Senator from Jackson (Mr. Brown) is but a mere bagatelle--but one in 10,000 of the complaints that have been made for years. To say there is not much complaint is to array the intelligence of the people against the voice of the many. The man who gets property by false pretenses is put in prison, and the party who gets of power under false pretenses should be remitted to the rear. Democrats as well as Republicans should be desirous of relieving the people from the burdens of taxation. If there is a desire and a willingness to pass this bill, there is oceans of time. Since its introduction there has been an abundance of time to perfect it. This is a strangely involved problem, it is said, to frame a fee and salary bill to conform to the Constitution. To this he filed a negative. This bill does not run below $1,000 and goes as high as $15,000, and the feelings of the average Hoosier are that a man who gets $1,500 a year gets pretty good pay. When this bill was introduced eleven days ago it was said we had not time to consider it--that the civil code and public expenses bills should be got out of the way. While not intending to belittle these bills he declared they were not one-tenth part of as much importance to the people. If a majority is opposed now to consider this bill it is due to the people that they should show their hands by voting for the motion to indefinitely postpone, for if not considered to-day it ought to be indefinitely postponed for this present session.
Mr. SPANN stood opposed to this bill because it is vicious and outrageous and can not be amended so as to be equitable and fair. He represented three of the smaller Counties in the State, and this bill destroys the value and the efficiencies of the County offices in two of these Counties. The Senator from Marion talks about consuming time. While Mr. S. ventured to predict, the Brevier Reports will show that no one has consumed more time on this floor than that Senator. We should vote to cut the head of this bill off by the shortest route, and should vote to indefinitely postpone such an unjust and unfair measure. Where is the work of this Legislature, if a fee and salary and other necessary measures fail? Shall the work of a Codification Commission, at a cost of $40,000, come to naught because we have not properly made use of the time? When a fee bill, just and right, and equitable, is put in proper shape, he should vote for it, but not for this bill.
Mr. COMSTOCK thought it not a question how much zeal and diligence has been shown heretofore, but the question is, how will the Senate vote to-day? These questions have to be met as they come up. If this motion passes, the matter of fees and salaries can not be taken up this present term. If the provisions of this bill are unjust and iniquitous, that is a reason it should be carefully and cautiously considered and perfected. There are some provisions in it, if he was properly informed, that are equitable and just. The people have sent us here with the expectation that fee and salary bill shall be passed by this General Assembly. The question is, shall we make an attempt in this direction at so late a day in this session? He favored going on with the work of codification, and was also in favor of considering the question of fees and salaries.
Mr. BELL said the record will sustain the fact that he has uniformly voted to forward this fee and salary measure. All Senators know it would be an absolute impossibility to pass this bill at the present session. In his anxiety to get a fee and salary bill before the Senate, as one of that Committee he consented to report this measure, though conscious it contains many objectionable features.
Mr. CHAPMAN stated that he had stood with the friends of this fee and salary bill on every vote yet taken.
Mr. MENZIES would not vote to indefinitely postpone that bill, because after measures further along in legislation may have been satisfactorily disposed of, he was willing to take up and consider the fee and salary bill as far as it can be considered this session.
Mr. WOOD said: We have only two or three days to pass bills. The fee and salary bill is one of the most important that ever came up before a Legislature. Why should a bill of so much importance be pressed now? It can not be considered well. Two weeks are required to perfect a fair and just bill. I am credibly informed that this bill increases the salary of Auditors and Treasurers 25 per cent. In Clinton County, about $800; in St. Joseph, about $1,900; in Vanderburg, about the same, and so on throughout the State, and the bill cuts down the Clerk and Sheriff nearly half, I am told. The salaries paid by taxation are increased, and those paid by fees arising from litigation are cut down too low. This bill may contain lurking features that would be unreasonable, and I do not propose to vote for it without any consideration. There are some bills that must be passed. We can not adjourn with honor without passing them. These will take all our time. We struck from the old bill all constructive fees, yesterday, and with that I am content.
Mr. CHAPMAN demanded the previous question, and under its operation the motion to indefinitely postpone the fee and salary bill was rejected.
The motion to postpone till to-morrow was also rejected.
Mr. BROWN made an ineffectual motion to take up the House message concerning the general appropriation bill.

Craig Smallegan, Trine sophomore civil engineering
Craig Smallegan is a long way from his Dalhart, Texas, home, and he says there′s never a dull moment or any down time at Trine – and he likes that.
"I′m considering getting my master′s here at Trine so I can continue to enjoy all that campus life has to offer," said Smallegan, a sophomore civil engineering major.
Smallegan is active with Christian Campus House, the American Society of Civil Engineers student chapter and the Trine Ski Club, and serves as a tour guide and freshman orientation leader.
"I have found that these organizations give you a great opportunity to connect to other students because just being in a few clubs has provided me with a large group of friends I greatly value," he said.
He also values Trine′s faculty and staff, the academic quality and the engineering school.
"Every single person on the faculty and staff at Trine cares about you as a person," he said. "I know and talk with all of my professors on a first–name basis and can walk into their offices at any time with any question."
He equates the smaller class size with academic quality because "the classes are small enough for meaningful personal interaction with professors. Also, the professors are knowledgeable and able to make their lectures both fun and understandable.
"A.J. Alnaser, Ph.D., my calculus II professor, has had the biggest impact. He helped me understand a difficult subject, and the importance of it as an engineer. He made a complex class fun and exciting and showed me how much potential I really have," Smallegan said. Alnaser is a member of the mathematics and informatics department.
Smallegan also has kind words for his department. "I love the Allen School of Engineering because all of the students and faculty in it are able to talk with me about the projects and classes I am working on," he said.
Smallegan didn′t say whether it′s his professors or study habits that have helped him land on the President′s List during his first two semesters at Trine. One thing is more certain: he′ll continue to make the best of his time at Trine.

This climb is right at the end of the approach trail. There is a slot here formed by a right and left facing corner. The right facing corner (left climb), is Rochambeau; the left facing corner (right climb) is Fuzz. The first pitch is a good warmup with solid jams and many ledges for the feet.
Mostly hands.
Take note: the top 35 feet of this is an entirely detached flake hinged on an 8 inch wide ledge. Body weight certainly isn't pulling it off, but you don't need a PhD in Gravitational Geology (er, something) to see that this thing is coming down on its own and soon (geologically speaking).
Fun climbing that is easier than it looks from the ground. There is a large chockstone wedged in the crack that won't be there forever. It's not too loose yet (as of 04/08).
Great climb, it would be a great first lead. It has a lot of rests. Good features outside the crack. It takes gear well.
Its not a gimme climb, you still have to motor in some spots. The climb is pretty good but it's not a very asthetic line and it was kinda sandy in there. Most of the rests are pretty good.
FA - D. Bloom 2002
the start was surprisingly difficult for the grade. this would be a good intro desert lead as there are a lot of good stances to work with. noted vince's point above. the rock sounds solid, but doesn't have much support. wouldn't be surprised to find this route 'missing' in the future.
There's a loose block about 8 feet up - not sure if it is what the previous poster was talking about. It's got an X on it. Easy to get around it, though.

Plumas County's programs to help former jail inmates and parolees reenter the community are gaining momentum and their success affects local residents in a number of ways — from public costs to the crime rate.
County officials charged with overseeing the process, the Community Corrections Partnership, learned about the successes of another small northern California county during their monthly meeting March 20.
The county's district attorney, sheriff, chief probation officer and a court representative listened as Lucy Hernandez, a representative from Glenn County, discussed how her county reduced recidivism rates from 100 percent to 20 percent. The statewide three-year average is 63.7 percent, according to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
"It's time to think out of the box," Hernandez told the audience, which also included the directors of social services and mental health.
Hernandez said the Glenn County effort began with $12,500 and has been leveraged to $700,000 using a variety of funding streams.
During Hernandez's presentation she identified two critical areas: housing and the first 72 hours after an inmate is released.
She explained that it's difficult for an individual to go from the "jail structure to no structure."
Hernandez asked rhetorically, "What is the purpose of AB 109? Embrace the individuals."
Assembly Bill 109 is the public safety realignment legislation that returns nonviolent parolees and prisoners from the state correctional system to the county level.
Without support programs, the chance of a successful re-entry is low.
"We need to give them hope and we need to make them a part of the community," Hernandez said. That's accomplished by finding housing and providing drug and alcohol counseling, anger management classes, education and work opportunities.
"We need to think of this as a business and consider the return on investment," Hernandez said.
A two-week empowerment class teaches finance, interview skills, entrepreneurship and health.
Hernandez described how two of her clients started their own small businesses — one in scrap metal and the other in woodcutting.
She has been creative in obtaining funding. Using state money from AB 109 as a match, she has secured grants both public and private, tapping such corporate sponsors as Land O' Lakes and Wal-Mart.
Because many of the newly released said education was a barrier to their success, the Glenn County Office of Education became involved.
She also touted her local probation department as a "critical champion," along with the sheriff for allowing them to work in the jail.
Hernandez said it's important to begin the re-entry process while the individual is still incarcerated.
Hernandez told the Plumas County leaders that they already have "a lot more resources than we do," and pointed to the county's day reporting center as a prime example.
Plumas plan gaining momentum
District Attorney David Hollister said that the Plumas program has "expanded beyond anything we could imagine," and gave much of the credit to Stephanie Tanaka, the county's alternative sentencing coordinator.
In a follow-up interview, Hollister said that before Tanaka took the position there hadn't been a person who was responsible for the overall scope of the work.
Tanaka has been developing programs for the inmates and parolees with various private and public partners, as well as working directly with the clients.
The Board of Supervisors recently approved hiring a part-time assistant to work with Tanaka and Hollister anticipates adding more help before the end of the year.
"We have to keep pushing forward," he said.
Classes teach life lessons
The corrections partnership group approved $7,224 to pay for four classes for four months: alternatives to violence, anger management, parenting and critical thinking.
The funding covers the cost of the teacher, books and materials.
Chief Probation Officer Sharon Reinert, the chairwoman of the corrections partnership, asked that the funding request be deferred because she recently learned that the county's AB 109 money was slated to be decreased next fiscal year — dropping from $350,000 to $270,000.
"We really need to look at the budget to see what's the most essential," she said.
"I feel that these services are vital," said David van Winkle, the program developer educator of Plumas County Literacy Second Chance.
The district attorney promptly agreed.
"Miss Tanaka is very much in favor of this, as am I," David Hollister said.
He added that the entire program is gaining momentum and these classes "are exactly what we need."
As for funding, Hollister said that if the loss is as large as anticipated, then the group would need to look at a structural change, not just eliminate some vital classes.
Sheriff Greg Hagwood also supported the classes. "I second what Mr. Hollister has offered," he said. "These course offerings are vital to the essence of what realignment is."
Public Defender Doug Prouty joined Hollister and Hagwood in approving the course funding in a 3-1 vote.

My friend and I have been coming here a few times a year for almost 15 years. The rooms are always clean and comfortable. The little kitchenette is perfect if you don't feel like going out...we often go to the grocery store across the street and get munchies for an evening in. There are BBQ pits too...although I've never used them....I have seen people who do and it looks like great fun. You won't be disappointed!!

All courses with current BACP accredited status are listed below.
We provide information on:
Delivery mode is listed like this: 3PT. The number indicates duration of the course in years and the delivery may be indicated as FT for full-time or PT for part-time.
All previously accredited courses are also listed At the end of the current accredited courses list, there is an 'X-Accredited Courses' section which lists all courses that have been accredited by BACP in the past. It also shows accredited courses that are due to close, not taking on new students or have since evolved into a different accredited course. If you graduated from a course whilst its accreditation was current, your status as an accredited course graduate is not affected no matter what the current status of the course is now. The dates for the accredited status appear in brackets after each course.NB some accredited courses delivered by national providers e.g. Relate are venue-specific, as shown.

Is it really BACP accredited? We receive enquiries about courses that have advertised as accredited but are not on the list below, or about courses that claim to be 'applying for accreditation', 'eligible for accreditation', 'teaching to BACP standards', 'approved' or 'recognised' by BACP. It's simple...if it doesn't show up here, it is not/has not been accredited by BACP even if you have been told by someone otherwise! Courses that are preparing/applying for accreditation are unable to guarantee the outcome of the assessment process. Organisational membership alone does not mean that the course is accredited by BACP or approved by us in any way. This is why the guidance for course accreditation states that...
Only accredited courses that have completed the accreditation process and received confirmation of their accredited status may include the words "BACP Accredited Course" in their publicity material or use the 'Course Accredited by BACP' logo. Other courses should not include in any publicity material their intention to apply or even that they have applied for accreditation. This can mislead potential and existing students and may lead to disappointment upon graduation or application for BACP membership/individual accreditation.
* There are different types or methods of counselling/psychotherapy
Courses at higher education sector universities are self-validated

By Chick Jacobs Staff writer
When it began, 40 years ago, Athenian Night was billed as "the gala winter event of Fayetteville."
Since then, it's been praised as "the best way to visit Greece without getting on an airplane."
It's still a great way for a taste of Greece. But it's also a great way for newcomers to sample life in Fayetteville.
The Feb. 16 salute to all things Hellenic is as much a tribute to members of the Greek community in the Cape Fear region as it is to their home country. The night of food, music and dancing taps deeply into their roots of community and charity.
"Athenian Night was started as a fundraiser for our organization and to raise funds for scholarships," said past president Ted Papadeas.
AHEPA (American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association) was formed to help immigrant Greeks assimilate into American culture, but also to show America the Hellenic heritage that the new Americans brought with them.
"This event is all aboutpanayiria- food entertainment, a good time for everyone," Papadeas said. "But at its heart, it is still to help those in our community in need."
The festival was created in the mid-70s by Fayetteville Order of AHEPA. In recent years, AHEPA was joined by the Sisters of Penelope, a Hellenic women's organization, and Sons of Pericles, Lafayette Chapter, a Hellenic youth group.
Over the years, Athenian Night has served as a coat-and-tie icebreaker for people new to Fayetteville to enjoy a small taste of culture shock.
"Some people think this is a party for Greeks only," said club President Steve Gooden. "Actually, more than 70 percent of the people aren't. They are our friends from the wider community who have come to embrace the celebration."
It's a heck of a celebration, too. Everything - food, drink, music - is covered in the cost.
"We like to say, 'Once you've paid for the ticket, everything is free,' " said event co-chairman John Bantsolas. "Even the belly dancing is free. And unlike a lot of things, the cost hasn't gone up."
All profits go to local and national charities, including Special Olympics, the Salvation Army and the United Way of Cumberland County. A limited number of tickets are available.
What: 40th annual Athenian Night
When: Feb. 16. Doors open at 6 p.m. Dinner is from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., followed by dancing and music until midnight.
Where: Hellenic Center, next to Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church, 614 Oakridge Ave.
Tickets: $70 per person
Information: 988-8198

The FTC's monthly newsletter for the Congressional community
It's the news you - and your constituents - can use.
Volume 5 - Number 9
September 2006
PUMP FICTION. The manufacturer of a magnetic device, who falsely claimed it would save fuel and reduce emissions, will pay $4.2 million for consumer redress to settle the FTC's false advertising charges. The settlement imposes a lifetime ban against Anthony Renda and International Research and Development Group on the manufacture, advertising, or sale of FuelMAX, Super FuelMAX, or any similar fuel-saving or emissions-decreasing product. The FTC has established a hotline --1-877-382-2020 -- with a recorded message for consumers who think they are entitled to a refund. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2006/08/savegas.htm
DO NOT CALL. The FTC has settled charges against Nomrah Records, Inc. and its president, Mark Harmon -- named defendants in the recent DIRECTV telemarketing case. Under the settlement, Harmon will pay a $75,000 civil penalty and both he and the company are barred from violating the Do Not Call (DNC) Rule and Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) in the future. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2006/08/directv.htm
CROSS-BORDER CALLS. A U.S. district court has ordered that two defendants in an FTC cross-border telemarketing fraud case be barred from engaging in deceptive marketing and pay $15,000 for consumer redress. The defendants, Mishele Wells and her company, Simax Corporation, allegedly targeted U.S. consumers with no credit or poor credit histories with promises of advance-fee credit cards, but never provided them. The FTC brought the case in November 2004 as part of a major multi-jurisdictional cross-border fraud law enforcement initiative. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2006/08/primeone.htm

HISPANIC FRAUD PREVENTION FORUM. The FTC, the United States Postal Inspection Service, the U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of New York, and the Manhattan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce will host a Hispanic Fraud Prevention Forum in New York City on September 27. The Forum will provide an opportunity for law enforcers and community leaders to learn about the nature and extent of consumer fraud targeting the Hispanic community in an effort to develop more effective strategies to address these problems.

The hearings will be held November 6-8 at the Lisner Auditorium of George Washington University and will be free and open to the public. On November 9, the FTC will host a non-public meeting of invited law enforcers and other government officials to examine the implications of emerging technologies on consumer protection in the coming decade. For more about the hearings: www.ftc.gov/techade. Press release: www.ftc.gov/opa/2006/07/techade.htm
TIP OF THE MONTH -- FINANCIAL READINESS: As Critical as Fully Charged Batteries
When a hurricane, flood, tornado, wildfire, or other disaster strikes, it might be safest to pack up and leave your home. The FTC says that when it comes to preparing for situations like weather emergencies, financial readiness is as important as a flashlight with fully charged batteries. Leaving your home can be stressful, but knowing that your financial documents are up-to-date, in one place, and portable can make a big difference at a tense time.
Here are some tips from the FTC for financial readiness in case of an emergency:
- Conduct a household inventory. A list of your possessions (documented by photo or video) could help if you're filing insurance claims.
- Buy a lockable, fireproof file box for your important documents. Keep the box in a secure, accessible location so that you can "grab it and go" if the need arises.
- Consider renting a safe deposit box for storage of important documents, for example, the deed for your home, title for your car, your will, birth certificate and passport.
- Choose an out-of-town contact. Ask an out-of-town friend or relative to be the point of contact for your family, and make sure everyone in your family has the information.
- Update all your information. Review the contents of your household inventory, your fireproof box, safe deposit box, and the information for your out-of-town contact at least once a year.

SENIOR CHEMISTS LEARN PRACTICAL SIDE OF PROFESSION — _ The senior chemists are back at school after having had a brief acquaintance with the practical side of the profession. The three members of the class were all fortunate! I enough to secure positions as bench , chemists at different sugar centrals ; throughout the State. Mr. Dauen- j ' hauer was employed by the Cedar! ; drove plantation, Mr. Jurgens by I j Sterling Sugars at Franklin, and Mr. I ■ Palmer by the Waterford Factory. All three were very glad" to have the opportunity of concluding their j study of sugar chemistry by becoming acquainted with the technique of manufacturing and the analysis employed by the Louisiana factories. This practical experience will con; elude the senior study of sugar chemistry, the rest of the scholastic year being scheduled for a study of other branches of industrial chemistry.While at the sugar refinery the Loyola party was under the guidance of Mr. Boyd, head chemist of the refinery, who explained to the visitors the apparatus and the, method of operation. LIBRARY Student Publications of Other: Universities in Reading Room An insight into the events occurring at other universities in various j parts of the country is afforded Loyola students who make use of the I exchange table in the university lij brary in Marquette Hall. On the exchange table may be found approximately fifty student publications which are received in the Maroon office and placed in the student reading room for the convenience of those who may wish to look through them. Among: the newspapers now available are those published at Oglethorpe, Alabama, Southwestern of Memphis, Indiana, Vanderbilt, Loyola of Chicago, Loyola of Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Louisiana Polytechnic, Catholic University of Washington, Tulane, Rice, Southwestern of Washington, Santa Clara, Louisiana State Normal, Marquette, Mercer, Mississippi College, Mississippi A. & M., Union, Miami, Centenary, Lombard, Villsnavo', Detroit, Springhill, Notre Dame, Georgetown, and many others. The exchange of these publications have been the result of the efforts of the editors to keep the student boiiy posted on conditions and activities outside* the immediate vicinity of local affairs. They enable the students to keep in touch with the latest occurrences in schools throughout the entire country. TROPHY CONTEST CONTINUES WITH PUBLIC DEBATE Frosh, Sophs To Argue The Question of Police Power Competition for the Hausmann' Trophy, emblematic of lower class athletic and scholastic supremacy, will continue on February 14 at 8 P. M., with a debate between members of the sophomore and freshman classes on the subject: "Resolved, that the powers should have complete disarmament for police purposes." The debate is the third of a series of six events between the lower classes lor the temporary poslession of the Housmann Trophy. This trophy has beeD# won by the present junior class for the past two years, both as yearlings and as second-year men. The other events which are yet to be held at different dates throughout the year include an essay, an oratorical contest, a basketball game and a track meet. The Tug-of-war. which was the first event scheduled, was won by the sophomore class. The class winning the majority of the events scheduled will have its class numerals inscribed upon the trophy, hs a sign of its superiority both in scholastic «nd athletic activities.FROSH ORATORS DEBATE DISARMAMENT The freshman class had ts weekly i session on Thursday, the 16th, in whieh the topic for the debate was: Resolved, That the powers of the world should have complete disarmament except for police purposes. Alfred Everett and William Calhoun upheld the affirmative. George Leppert and Carl Liuzza the negative. The latter combination won by a two to one decision. The affirmative banked its arguments On the natural tendency towards peaceful welfare and the inevitable exclusion of war when nations are disarmed. The negative argued that war could not bo done away with by treaties and that it will always exist. They also insisted on the greediness of selfish man. Leppert gave a humorous contrast between the mediocre way of waging war in Napoleon's day and our present way. "The horror of our death toll would make any nation think before going to war with another," remarked Leppert. Therefore, preparedness is necessary. The affirmative came back strong in the rebuttal and crashed many of the negative's arguments. The ease in which the speakers presented their discourses shows the progress which the Reverend de Monsabert has made with this public speaking class. PARTS ASSIGNED IN FRENCH PLAY; PRACTICE BEGUN 1 The French Club of Loyola University which has but recently reorganized, has perfected plans to present a play before the end of the ! year. Father deMonsabert, faculty * adviser for the organization, has announced that the parts in the play have been assigned and that active : work will be begun immediately. Those who arc- in the cast include Victor Choppin, Carl Buchmann, Carroll Montet, Marnell Segura, and j several others. The play will be a three-act comedy entitled "Cousin j Jeanne." The French CUb h:is but recently reappeared on the Loyola campus, this being the second year of its existence. Last year a play was given which proved a great success from every pont of view. Considering the greater amount of talent and the increased membership of the club, Father deMonsabert will have every opportunity of making the present appearance of his charges far eclipse that of his initial attempt at presentation of a drama. GLEE CLUB Rehearsals to Continue As Usual During ExaminationsRehearsal will not be postponed during examination week, but will i he held as usual, according to j Francis Achee, president of the Loy- I o!a organization. However, the meetings will be short in order to give the members time to prepare /or their examinations. It would scarcely be feasible to call off meetngs, since there is so little time remaining for the club to prepare for its coming concert. The Glee Club will entertain over the radio again within the next two or three weeks. Mr. Paul Jacobs, director and manager of the club's activities, has announced. The next activities, has announced. The exact date has not as yet been settled, but p I will probably be definitely known J with the next few days. Progress is being rapidly made in the addition of new songs to the organization's growing repertoire. ■ Many old favorites, such as "Mighty I lak a rose," "Me and my little ban, jo," "The world is waiting for the { sunshine," and "The Rosary." Be sides these, many new and popular selections have been chosen. These ! include "Painting the Clouds with , Sunshine," "You Were Meant for I Me," "Rio Rita," "You're Always in i My Arms," and other numbers from • the recent musical comedy hit, "Rio i j Rita." The latter numbers have been ( specially arranged for a mixed chorus by Mr. Jacobs. FATHER MCGRATH TO GIVE RETREAT FEBRUARY 4-5-6 Announcement was made by Father Hynes that Father Tom McGrath of the Jesuit Mission Band of the New- Orleans Province had Wen secured to give the annual three day retreat to the Loyola student body. In securing the services of this well known pulpit orator, Loyola is indeed fortunate. Father McGrath has charmed large audiences throughout the South and has recently been asked to conduct missions in some of the diocese of; the middle West. Perhaps I the student body will have a chance of hearing his finest lecture, "Can a Catholic Be a Good American?" The retreat will occupy three days, the 4th, sth and 6th of February. It comes just between the two semesters. The regents this year will insist on every Catholic student attending, and special sections will be reserved fur the various departments, so that each pupil will have a definite place assigned to him. Though Loyola has never endeavored to force religion on those who professed none, or those J who were not of the Catholic faith, ■ the authorities have taken the stand that they do not want any Catholic student who is not practical enough to show his allegiance to his church. Father McGrath is an able orator and is well known throughout the South for his work as a missionary. His lectures and instructions will be i both interesting and beneficial to all I who hear them, and his many interesting experiences will play an important part in keeping the students to the real object of the retreat which is to bring about an increase in the spirit of leadership among Loyola students. Freshman Rules to be Suspended During Exams According to an announcement by Gerard Rault, president of the Student Council, the freshmen rules will be suspended during examination week, but will be resumed immediately afterwards. The announcement, posted on the bulletin board last week, is as follaws:"Whereas the president of the sophomore class has petitioned the Student Council that freshmen rules be suspended during examinations; "Whereas the sophomore class has under its control the enforcement of the freshmen rules, the Student Council therefore orders that the freshmen rules be, and the same hereby are suspended until the FIFTEENTH OF FEBRUARY, inclusive."U.

In December of 2011, the Prime Minister of Canada and President of the USA made a joint announcement regarding plans to implement a cooperative effort to improve security and efficiency at the ports of entry (including border crossings and airports) between the two countries. The effort has numerous facets, which may see RCMP and US police officials obtain jurisdiction on either side of the border, improved airport security, sharing of infrastructure between certain border crossings, harmonization of rules, sharing of information, and more.
The prospect of sharing of information has certain advantages and disadvantages to holders of Canadian work permits. A principal goal of the effort would be to have better information on the movement of temporary residents relative to their permission to stay in Canada. For example, there would be more knowledge of whether or not a given individual respected the conditions of a temporary stay in Canada, leaving or otherwise renewing status within the time permitted. If implemented, an individual who overstays could face negative consequences in the case of any future effort to seek admission to Canada.
In certain cases, work permit holders are constrained by time limitations associated with the issuance of a Canadian work visa. For example, intra-company transferees may be permitted stays of between five and seven years, but such time is assessed only against the duration of time actually spent in Canada. In such a case, better exit controls may serve the purpose of facilitating demonstration of the duration of the actual stay of such a work permit holder, permitting the maximum actual duration of validity of the immigration document.
It is not yet clear how or if this effort will be implemented. There are also differing accounts of the extent and purpose of information sharing. However, this could be a very important development for the two countries.

Marathon County government is committed to building our community. The work of community building spans a diverse array of policy issues. Some of the issues visibly touch residents' lives and others are not quite so visible.
The Community Connections newsletter began as a way to communicate policy issues that were before the Environmental Resources Committee of the Marathon County Board of Supervisors. It was originally targeted to municipal officials.

ViewsSouth Stack CliffsFrom Opus(Difference between revisions)
Revision as of 20:03, 11 February 2010
OverviewWith some of the most dramatic scenery in North Wales and containing important seabird colonies, this reserve is deservedly one of the most popular in Wales. Situated on the west of Holy Island, the westernmost headland of Anglesey, the habitat of this reserve consists of the high cliffs of South Stack and the lower cliffs of Penrhyn Mawr to the south. The cliffs are extensively eroded and there are many caves, stacks and gullies. Atop the cliffs is maritime heath with patches of scrub and in the north, the heather moorland on the slopes of Holyhead Mountain. BirdsNotable SpeciesBreeding seabirds of these cliffs include Common Guillemot, Razorbill and Atlantic Puffin, as well as Northern Fulmar, Shag, Kittiwake and other gulls. Another major attraction of the reserve is Red-billed Chough which breeds in small numbers on the cliffs in addition to Peregrine Falcon. The heath and moor have Stonechat and Common Whitethroat and the wetter parts of Penrhosfeilw Common, behind Penrhyn Mawr is a breeding site for Northern Lapwing and Common Redshank. This headland can produce good seawatching with regular Northern Gannet and skuas, large numbers of auks and Manx Shearwater. Sooty Shearwater is regular in autumn but Cory's Shearwater and Little Shearwater have also been recorded. This is also one of the best sites in Wales for Sabine's Gull. RaritiesA variety of passerine migrants can be seen here and rarities such as Greater Short-toed Lark, Rufous-tailed Rock Thrush and Ortolan Bunting have been recorded. In Oct 2001 a Gray Catbird was recorded here, the first British record and present at the same time was a Red-eyed Vireo. Check-listBirds you can see here include: Red-throated Diver, Great Northern Diver, Northern Fulmar, Manx Shearwater, Sooty Shearwater, Northern Gannet, Great Cormorant, European Shag, Hen Harrier, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Common Buzzard, Common Kestrel, Merlin, Peregrine Falcon, Eurasian Oystercatcher, Eurasian Dotterel, Northern Lapwing, Dunlin, Whimbrel, Common Redshank, Common Greenshank, Ruddy Turnstone, Pomarine Skua, Arctic Skua, Great Skua, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Herring Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, Black-legged Kittiwake, Sabine's Gull, Common Tern, Common Guillemot, Razorbill, Atlantic Puffin, Feral Pigeon, Stock Dove, Little Owl, Short-eared Owl, Eurasian Skylark, Tree Pipit, Meadow Pipit, Rock Pipit, European Stonechat, Northern Wheatear, Fieldfare, Redwing, Common Whitethroat, Blackcap, Goldcrest, Spotted Flycatcher, European Pied Flycatcher, Red-billed Chough, Eurasian Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Northern Raven, Common Starling, Chaffinch, Eurasian Linnet Other WildlifeThe area is also important botanically with two major rarities, Spotted Rock-rose Tuberaria guttata, confined to a few sites in Wales and Ireland and a maritime variety of Field Fleawort Senecio integrifolius which occurs only here. Other scarce species include Pale Heath Violet Viola lactea and Devil's Bit Scabious Succisa pratensis. The clifftop and heath are a colourful sight in spring with the bright yellow of Western Gorse Ulex gallii, pink Thrift Armeria maritima and the purple of three species of heather which dominate the heathland. Heath Spotted Orchid Dactylorhiza maculata is very common on the mountain. Silver-studded Blue is one of the commonest butterflies here and Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary, Gatekeeper and Grayling also occur. Adder Vipera berus are common on the heathlands and Common Lizard Lacerta vivipara is also present. Site InformationHistory and UseTo do Areas of InterestTo do Access and FacilitiesThe reserve is signposted from the town of Holyhead and can be reached on two minor roads, one of which leads to South Stack via Penrhosfeilw. There is a car-park and a series of footpaths covering the entire area and the RSPB has an information centre at Ellin's Tower (closed autumn-winter) which has an observation tower overlooking the cliff colonies.

Nuclear Material On The Loose
"The Obama administration is warning that the danger of a terrorist attack with nuclear weapons is increasing, but U.S. officials say the claim is not based on new intelligence and questioned whether the threat is being overstated."
-Washington Times, April 14, 2010
I don't agree with President Obama on a number of things, but here's one we do see eye-to-eye on:
The threat posed by nuclear terrorism.
Consider recent events in the former Soviet Union. Desmond Butler of the Associated Press reported back on December 9:
Despite years of effort and hundreds of millions of dollars spent in the fight against the illicit sale of nuclear contraband, the black market remains active in the countries around the former Soviet Union. The radioactive materials, mostly left over from the Cold War, include nuclear bomb-grade uranium and plutonium, and dirty-bomb isotopes like cesium and iridium.
The extent of the black market is unknown, but a steady stream of attempted sales of radioactive materials in recent years suggests smugglers have sometimes crossed borders undetected. Since the formation of a special nuclear police unit in 2005 with U.S. help and funding, 15 investigations have been launched in Georgia and dozens of people arrested.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
And what of the years between 1991 (Georgian independence) and 2005? I shudder to think how much radioactive material might have found their way across the Georgian border and into the hands of the bad guys during those 14 years.
According to the piece, highly-enriched uranium has also recently been seized from smugglers in Moldova, another former Soviet republic.
From the Council on Foreign Relations website:
There have been no confirmed reports of missing or stolen former-Soviet nuclear weapons, but there is ample evidence of a significant black market in nuclear materials. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported more than a hundred nuclear smuggling incidents since 1993, eighteen of which involved highly enriched uranium, the key ingredient in an atomic bomb and the most dangerous product on the nuclear black market.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
That portion of the CFR website was last updated in January 2006.
While the Council said there have been no confirmed reports of missing or stolen nuclear weapons, the same can't be said of nuclear material. Butler added:
Russia maintains that it has secured its radioactive material — including bomb-grade uranium and plutonium — and that Georgia has exaggerated the risk because of political tension with Moscow. But while the vast majority of the former Soviet Union's nuclear arsenal and radioactive material has been secured, U.S. officials say that some material in the region remains loose.
"Without a doubt, we are aware and have been over the last several years that not all nuclear material is accounted for," says Simon Limage, deputy assistant secretary for non-proliferation programs at the U.S. State Department. "It is true that a portion that we are concerned about continues to be outside of regulatory control."
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
"U.S. officials say that some material in the region remains loose."
If smuggling is taking place and the whereabouts of the nuclear material is unknown, I wonder if the above shouldn't be changed to "some material from the region remains loose?"
Since illegal aliens and drugs routinely manage to find their way into the United States, it requires no stretch of the mind to envision nuclear material for a terrorist weapon also being smuggled in.
Butler's incredibly-informative piece be read on the Yahoo! News website here.

ALBANY, N.Y. (November 26, 2012)--An official in the New York governor's administration says Superstorm Sandy ran up a $42 billion bill and the state and New York City are making big requests for disaster aid from the federal government.
The official provided the new, higher total on the condition of anonymity because an announcement was scheduled for later Monday, The Associated Press reported.
The cost includes $32 billion for repairs and restoration and $9 billion for mitigation of damage and for preventive measures for the next disastrous storm.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo met with the New York's congressional delegation Monday to discuss the new figures.
The delegation, Cuomo and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will now draw up a request for federal disaster aid.
Bloomberg estimates the city's cost alone at $19 billion.

Ozzie Guillen has a bone to pick...with Sean Penn?
(Tribune photo by Phil Velasquez/Kris Connor, Getty Images)
You can add Sean Penn to the long list of people who have been called out by Ozzie Guillen.
The outspoken White Sox manager called Penn a "payaso" (clown) and "izquierdista estupido" (stupid leftist) on Twitter Friday for his praise of controversial Venezuela President Hugo Chavez.
"Oh my God, Sean Penn defended our President Hugo Chavez," Guillen, a Venezuela native, tweeted. "That's easy when you [don't] live in Venezuela and have money. LOL...shame on [you]."
Penn appeared on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" last week and was asked why he continues to defend Chavez.
"Every day this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it and accept it," Penn said. "And this is mainstream media, who should -- truly there should be a bar by which they -- one goes to prison for these kinds of lies."
Chavez addressed the Oscar-winning actor's comments during a televised rally in Venezuela's capital, Caracas (which has the highest murder rate in South America), on Wednesday.
"I was reading the declarations from our friend Sean Penn, the famous American actor," Chavez said. "Penn defended what he considers to be the truth."
Guillen, who received his U.S. citizenship in Jan. 2006, obviously disagreed.
"Oh God, you are very crazy," Guillen tweeted about Penn. "Go and move to our country. You will change your mind."
