Похоже крупно залетели Алекс Филд и Игорь Фишкин -  вот  бы не подумал - в Чикаго Трибюн написали, что могут получить аж до 30 лет - это серьезно. И наверняка все заберут, включая рестораны. Когда-то Филд с Фишкиным выкупили у Яши "Cпирит Кафе' переделав его в ресторан "Версаль' а году так в 1998 Филд хотел выпускать газету на русском языке, чтобы убить "Рекламу' но проект этот так и не был осуществлен.

5 charged in North Shore mortgage fraud scheme By Tribune staff

10:40 AM CDT, June 3, 2011

 
The U.S. Justice Department today said federal charges were filed against five people from the northern suburbs who are accused of engaging in a $15.7 million residential mortgage and construction loan fraud scheme.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago said the people charged caused lenders and a title company to lose more than $8 million, in part by using loan proceeds to make “lulling interest payments” in several residential mortgages.

In addition, interest payments were made on a $26 million loan used to finance the acquisition of 14 acres at Dundee Road and Skokie Boulevard in Northbrook for a proposed mixed-use development, which prosecutors say “ultimately fell into foreclosure.”
 
Three of the people charged in the scheme are former executives of the now-defunct EAG Capital Holdings, Inc. (EAG) They are Edward Renko, 49, of Glenview; Alexander Field, 42, of Northbrook; and Gary Fishkin, 54, of Glencoe.

Renko faces two counts of wire fraud and one count each of bank fraud and making a false statement to influence the action of a bank. Field faces  three counts of wire fraud and one count of bank fraud, while Fishkin faces two counts of wire fraud and one count of bank fraud and making a false statement to influence the action of a bank.
 
Also charged were Kalliope Shaykin, 51, of Chicago, the former president of Schaumburg-based Absolute Title Services, Inc. She faces seven counts of wire fraud and one count of making a false statement to influence the action of a bank. 41-year-old Tatayana Furman, of Northbrook, a former loan officer and mortgage broker at American United Mortgage Co., was charged with seven counts of wire fraud. American United was half-owned by EAG.
 
The U.S. attorney's office said the defendants fraudulently obtained more than $8 million in residential loan proceeds "by repeatedly obtaining mortgages secured by residences owned by Renko, Field and Fishkin" in Northbrook.

Rather than use the loans to pay off existing mortgages, they allegedly converted them to their own uses, including personal expenses and interest payments on the $26 million loan for the proposed "Center of the Northshore" in Northbrook.
 
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said the 11-count indictment only contains charges “and is not evidence of guilt.” They each face prison sentences of up to 20 years and a $250,000 fine, but because most of the counts involve financial institutions, the prison penalties could be up to 30 years.

Glencoe doctor charged in Skokie home invasion

Glencoe doctor charged in Skokie home invasion


By Mike Isaacs and  Irv Leavitt


A Glencoe doctor has been charged with home invasion with a firearm after police said he broke into a Skokie residence last week and battered a man who had a relationship his wife, police said.

Skokie police said just after 9 p.m., May 17, Sergei Shushunov, 59, of 469 Madison Ave., Glencoe, entered the a Skokie man’s residence on the 9200 block of Central Park Avenue. The Skokie resident was in his bedroom on a cell phone talking to Shushunov’s wife when Shushonov entered the room carrying a handgun, police said. The front door had been left unlocked, they said.

According to police, the man gave his name as “Sergei” and ordered the Skokie man to “leave my wife alone.” He pointed the gun at the victim’s abdomen and repeatedly punched him in the face, police said.

Police said Shushunov also took the man’s iPhone before leaving the home in an unknown direction.

The left side of the Skokie man’s face appeared swollen, according to police.

When they determined Shushunov’s address, police said, they requested assistance from Glencoe police, and they arrested Shushonov before 10 p.m. that same night outside his home.

Police said Shushunov’s wife was in the process of divorcing him. While the man said he had been “courting” Shushunov’s wife, the wife said she had ended the relationship, but they still remained friends and regularly talked on the phone.

Glencoe police said they removed Shushunov’s considerable cache of firearms from his home the day after his arrest at the request of his wife. Glencoe Police Chief Michael Volling said they took away rifles, shotguns and handguns.

“He has some kind of sporting goods business, and he likes to go hunting in Russia,” Volling said.

Shushunov is a licensed physician in Illinois, according to the state Department of Professional Regulation, which lists no disciplinary actions against him.

He operates Lev Laboratories, Ltd., also known as 4HealthyKids, out of his home and a Glencoe U.S. Post Office Box. The firm sells herbal remedies directed at children — treating colic, attention deficit hyperactive disorder and other relatively minor childhood conditions. The site identifies Shushunov as having been trained in pediatric critical care.

Shushunov is a principal in Russian Hunting LLC, a big-game hunting trip brokerage, operating out of the same post office box and an address in St. Petersburg, Russia, according to its website.

An operator at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center Wednesday said Shushunov was on staff at the Chicago hospital as a pediatric critical care physician.

The marital status on Shushunov’s facebook page changed from “married” to “it’s complicated” May 17.

Shushunov is scheduled to appear in court June 27.

Northwestern University defends after-class live sex demonstration

Northwestern University defends after-class live sex demonstration

BY KARA SPAK

Staff Reporter/kspak@suntimes.com

Last Modified: Mar 3, 2011 11:11AM

More than 100 Northwestern University students watched as a naked 25-year-old woman was penetrated by a sex toy wielded by her fiancee during an after-class session of the school’s popular “Human Sexuality” class.

The woman said she showed up at the Feb. 21 lecture in the Ryan Family Auditorium in Evanston expecting just to answer questions, but was game to demonstrate. The course’s professor on Wednesday acknowledged some initial hesitation, but said student feedback was “uniformly positive.”

And Northwestern defended the class and its professor.

“Northwestern University faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial and at the leading edge of their respective disciplines,” said Alan K. Cubbage, vice president for University Relations. “The University supports the efforts of its faculty to further the advancement of knowledge.”

The optional, non-credit demo followed psychology Prof. John Michael Bailey’s sexuality class. Nearly 600 students are in Bailey’s class this quarter, and most didn’t stick around for the after-class show, which featured four members of Chicago’s fetish community describing “BDSM,” or bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism.

“I didn’t expect to see a live sex show,” said Justin Smith, 21, a senior economics and political science major who was in the after-class session. “We were told we were going to have some people talk to us about the fetish world and kink.”

Smith said it took him awhile to process what happened, but he doesn’t object to the way the material was presented.

“It was for me academic like everything else,” he said.

He told his grandparents about the class.

“My grandma was like, wow, Northwestern is a little bit different then when I went there,” he said.

In a statement, Bailey said he hesitated briefly before allowing the public sex act.

“My hesitation concerned the likelihood that many people would find this inappropriate,” he wrote. “My decision to say ‘yes’ reflected my inability to come up with a legitimate reason why students should not be able to watch such a demonstration.”

After the demonstration, several students tried a different sex toy that gave a “titillating” but not painful shock, testing it out on their arms, said Ken Melvoin-Berg, who narrated the after-class lecture. Melvoin-Berg said the school paid him between $300 to $500 for his appearance.

Faith Kroll, the woman who stripped, was laying down on a towel when she was penetrated. When she arrived, she thought she just would be answering students’ questions and showing off sex toys they brought, including whips, paddles and a clown wig.

An “absurd, clinical” video and subsequent discussion about various aspects of female orgasm led Faith and her partner Jim Marcus, 45, to prove to the class that female orgasm is real.

Faith said she was not coerced in any way and students were repeatedly warned it was going to get graphic.

“One of the students asked what my specific fetish was and mine is being in front of people, having the attention and being used,” she said. “The students seemed really intrigued.”

In his statement, Bailey said student feedback was “uniformly positive.”

Marcus, a musician who said he has worked as a sex educator, said he thinks it is “smart and important” for students to be learn about sexuality.

“It’s really scary for young people who want to get involved in the BDSM community who don’t understand issues regarding consent and safety,” he said.

Melvoin-Berg said he met Prof. Bailey through a swinging couple who previously spoke to the class. Melvoin-Berg runs the “Weird Chicago Red Light District Sex Tour,” which has participants playing games like “spot the ho” as they travel the city looking for prostitutes. He also teaches “Networking for Kinky People,” a 3-hour version of the one hour lecture he gave at Northwestern.

Melvoin-Berg said the sex toy used was BDSM, but was “not like a pain thing...we wanted to make it poignant.”

“I did mention this was going to be the best money their parents had spent on their education,” he said.

Bill Yarber, a researcher at Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction and author of the textbook Human Sexuality: Diversity in Contemporary America, said he’s never heard of a naked woman being brought to orgasm in front of a class of students.

“The way you present it there is very unconventional,” he said. “There’s certain boundaries of things, I think, that are acceptable and that would certainly be pushing that.”

This isn’t Bailey’s first brush with controversy. His 2003 book, “The Man Who Would Be Queen,” sparked hostile debate in the transgender community by claiming that there were more reasons for men to become women then simply that biology trapped them in the wrong body. Several transgender women who spoke with Bailey claimed they did not consent to being used for research and accused him of practicing psychology without a license.

Bailey said in his statement Wednesday that during the Feb. 21 after-class lecture, “I was not in a mood to surrender to sex negativity and fear.”

“Do I have any regrets?” he wrote on Wednesday. “It is mostly too early to say. I certainly have no regrets concerning Northwestern students, who have demonstrated that they are open-minded grown ups rather than fragile children.”

о чем говорят на русском радио

Включил вчера на пять минут  People's Wave и получил очередную порцию бреда на тему self-hating Jews. И ладно бы хрен с ним - пусть городит свою ахинею но тут он прошелся по самым уважаемым мною людьми назвав их нехорошим словом. Речь шла о профессоре политологии, авторе книги "Индустрия Холокоста"  Нормане Финкельштейне и одном из самых светлых умов человечества, ученом, которого цитировали еще в советские времена на моем факультете Ноаме Хомском. До интеллектуального уровня этих людей ведущему People's Wave - примерно как до самой отделенной звезды созвездия Альфа Центавра - поэтому остается лить грязь - сочные эпитеты, оскорбления и ни одного слова по сути вопроса.

А суть такова - Норман Финкуельштейн за свой выдающийся труд лишился работы профессора в местном чикагском университете De Paul в 2007 году, причем его увольнение сопровождалось выступлениями протеста со стороны студентов университета, которые даже организовали сидячую забастовку. Понятно, что ни студенты ни руководство университета где преподавал Финкельштейн не могло пойти против интересов могущественных еврейских организаций, или же просто не хотело лишних неприятностей.

Итак, о чем эта книга? Книга эта рассказывает о том, каким образом начиная с конца 60- начала 70-х определенными кругами была раздута тема Холокоста главным образом с целью выбивать из мирового сообщества деньги. Сразу скажем - Норман Финкельштейн, чьи родители прошли варшавское гетто, никоим образом не относится к так называемым отрицателям Холокоста. Его книга затрагивает совершенно другую тему - сам Холокост в ней не подвергается ни малейшему сомнению. Основной посыл книги таков - настала пора прекратить бесконечную виктимизацию еврейского народа, в которой заинтересованы определенные круги. Давайте проявим уважение к тем евреям, которые действительно пережили ужас Холокоста - большинства из них уже нет на этом свете.


На сайте Амазон книгу можно заказать здесь

Хочу обратить внимание на то что книга имеет высокий рейтинг - 143 отзыва, большинство из которых положительны. Кроме того, обращаю внимание на тот факт, что большинство разместивних на сайте свои отзывы - евреи. Отрицательных отзывов - единицы и их содержание наводит на мысль о социальном заказе со стороны какой-нибудь серьезной организации вроде антидиффамационной лиги.


Также рекомендуется еще одна работа Финкельштейна, посвященная теме злоупотребления понятием анти-семитизма.

Rahm Emanuel - новый мэр Чикаго!

2/22/2011

0 Comments

 
Сегодня свершилось то чего все ожидали - на состоявшихся выборах мэра Чикаго сокрушительную победу одержал бывший начальник по кадрам Белого Дома Rahm Emanuel, личность, во всех отношениях неординарная и даже, как считают некоторые, зловещая. Впрочем большинство считает, что именно такой человек как Рэм нужен сегодня городу в качестве градоначальника - человек, умеющий считать деньги в то время когда городские финансы что называется, поют романсы.

Светопредставление началось - Чикаго накрыло снежной бурей - как предупреждали с утра синоптики - самой ужасной за прошедшее десятилетие. Над озером Мичиган даже обещают редкое атмосферное явление - грозу с молнией. 
Доживем ли до завтра? Другие (синоптики) договорились до того, что подобной бури не было последние 50 лет.  Республиканские хардлайнеры продолжают уверять всех в том, что global warming - не более чем пропагандистская утка либералов. Говорить они могут все что угодно. Достаточно посмотреть в окно чтобы понять - The Day After Tomorrow уже не за горами. Во многих магазинах вчера наблюдалось столпотворение - люди запасались продуктами на случай длительной отсидки в бейсменте. И это - Америка. Кстати, по-поводу запасания продуктов на черный день чуть позже расскажу об одном разговоре с одним, как выяснилось, сумасшедшим американцем, имевшим место пару месяцев назад.
