The filling is perfect for the season with a little nutmeg mixed in with the cinnamon, sugar, and browned butter. Now, for the topping I decided to change things up from the original recipe, which called for a butter rum glaze. As I'm not a huge fan of rum and I've been craving cinnamon rolls lately I instead went with the maple glaze from The Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls. In keeping with the browned butter theme I went ahead and browned the butter for that as well, which gave the topping a stronger flavor. I think I'll also use that trick from now on whenever I make those cinnamon rolls.

Now it's time for me to confess where I messed this up. In an effort to


Djerrkura to head home

NATHAN Djerrkura has retired from the Western Bulldogs, deciding to head home to the Northern Territory rather than play out the final year of his contract, and with the blessing of the club.

Djerrkura told teammates this week that, after 10 years in Victoria - at Scotch College, Geelong and the Whitten Oval - he planned to move back to the Gove Peninsula in Arnhem Land, feeling a sense of responsibility to the community he left as a schoolboy.

After struggling to break into the Geelong line-up following his drafting in 2006, Djerrkura has played 21 games for the Bulldogs over the past two seasons. He played 13 games this year - his most productive.

The 23-year-old, whose late father, Gatjil, was a former chairman of the Aboriginalfootball manager, said Djerrkura had made a strong impression in his two years at the club and they had mutually agreed to part ways.

''You could never have questioned his commitment, but he's obviously come to a point in his own mind where he thinks it's time for him to move home, and we respect that and wish him all the best,'' he said.

''I think it's played on his mind a bit. He always knew there would be a time when he would want to go back to his family and to give a little more back from a community and cultural point of view. He's not someone who makes rushed decisions, he's given this a fair bit of consideration and he was certainly very well regarded around the


footy club and very popular amongst the guys.''

The Dogs yesterday delisted another three players - former rookies Brodie Moles, James Mulligan and Andrew Hooper - and will wait until after the trade period before making any further changes.

Ryan Hargrave and Lindsay Gilbee have retired, meaning the Bulldogs, who are likely to upgrade at least two rookies, have six open spots on their list. The club, which holds picks five and six in the national draft, is well positioned to secure talented young West Australian midfielder Jack Martin by dealing with Greater Western Sydney for a choice in the final 17-year-old mini-draft.Pyeongchang 2018 President says excitement building for Winter Olympics and Paralympics

Pyeongchang 2018 President Lee Hee-beom excitement for the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games is building in South Korea, despite the political crisis in the country.

In a progress update, given prior to the “One Year to Go” milestone on February 9, Pyeongchang 2018 also stressed preparations for the first-ever Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games to be held in South Korea are in full swing.

Earlier this week, Lee admitted the political scandal disrupting all aspects of South Korean society is affecting promotional work and sponsorship revenue for the Games.

South Korean President Park Geun-hye is currently facing impeachment proceedings.

Technology giants Samsung, a key backer of Pyeongchang 2018 and a leading International Olympic Committee (IOC) TOP sponsor, have also been implicated in


connection with their alleged links to Choi Soon-sil.

Choi, the 60-year-old advisor of Park, who allegedly exerted “undue influence” on policy-making, despite having no official Government role, has been accused of having influenced the tender process for Pyeongchang 2018 venues.

Promotion and legacy plans were a hot topic during the IOC Coordination Commission visit in October, with Gunilla Lindberg warning organisers they must improve in this area to avoid harming the image of the Games.

Lee also revealed that a high-speed rail network linking South Korea’s capital Seoul with Pyeongchang will be ready for testing in the summer of this year.

The railway, a key aspect of South Korea’s successful bid for the Games in 2011, was the source of controversy in 2012 after the South Korean Government were forced to denyBlog

As some of you know or by now have guessed, I have written two series, one the Eden Paradox, a science fiction series, and the other a spy thriller series, under the name J F Kirwan. Having finished both series, the question I find both my 'halves' being asked, is what next?

Well, as with everything about writers, rather than a simple answer, there's a story. When I finished the Eden series with Eden's Endgame, I was pretty exhausted. That series started as a short story back in 2003 (called Trouble in Eden), which by 2008 was a manuscript, and it got published (The Eden Paradox) in 2011. But let's backtrack just a moment, because in 2008 I almost got a deal for the book with


third of the way through the book when the deal with HC came through, and so I had to shelve the fledgling novel.

So, to cut a long story short, I'm going to finish the 'Children' book before I do anything else. The premise is pretty dark, and it's single protagonist, so we get to see everything through the eyes of Nathan, a damaged American war veteran who did one too many tours in Afghanistan. It's intended to be a trilogy: When the children come, When the children return, and After the children. As with Eden, it is as much about us as it is about aliens, and about a possible dark future pathway for humanity. Set today, it will include some of the darkness already on our planet,to a
stop in front of Pierre and held out his arm. Pierre managed to stop just in
time, on the edge of a precipice, as they entered a cathedral-like chamber. Sharp
cracks stabbed the silence, as small rocks they had just pushed over the edge tumbled
to the bottom, landing within a couple of seconds. Tardy, deeper echoes told
him the vastness of this subterranean cavity, the torch beams dissipating
hopelessly in the dark void. Blake put down his rifle and extracted a stubby
pistol from his backpack. He lifted his arm and fired a magnesium spike flare upwards
into the middle of the cavern. It found purchase in the massive domed ceiling,
illuminating the cavern in a ghoulish twilight.

Pierre looked down below, across the plain stretching
out before them. "Eggs," he said, a hollow feeling in


his stomach;
eggs, as far as he could see. But they had been cruelly misled by the Hohash
image. It was almost a joke. Steal an egg, they’d decided. As if they could put
one in their rucksacks. Pierre recalled that when Blake had seen the Hohash
image, there had been no frame of reference. He gazed at the nearest row. Each
egg was twice the height and width of a man.

He switched into scientist mode, to
allay the welling-up of fear. He cleared his throat. "They must hatch
fully grown. Makes ecological sense for a predator."

Blake crouched on the solid-rock floor,
and tossed a pebble over the side of the small cliff. He pulled out a navcon from
his backpack and swept the surrounding area, before the light from the flare
dimmed. When it sputtered and died,upright. Of course he was seeing where they were, and
was assuming – hoping – that nothing was moving down there.

Pierre heard Blake remove his
goggles briefly, so he did too, flicking his torch on.

"Motion sensor," Blake said,
lobbing a small device back into the tunnel behind them. He then took out a
self-burying eye-bolt, placed it on the rocky floor, touched the two-second
primer, and stood back. With a sound like an underwater gunshot, it fired itself
into the stone with a reassuring thud. He attached the auto-feed wire system to
the eyebolt via a karabiner and replaced his goggles.

"Wait twenty seconds, then
follow."

He swung himself smoothly over the
edge and abseiled down.

Pierre counted to twenty, attached
his own auto-descent system to the wire, and replaced his goggles. He backed
toward the edge. He thought he heard something,


a distant rumbling, coming from
the entrance. Uselessly, he looked toward it, but of course the goggles could
show no movement. He leant back, bent his knees, and kicked off, propelling
himself away and down the cliff-face.

A shrill electronic whine, rising in
tone, made him misjudge his descent, and his knees smashed into the cliff face,
stinging with pain – the motion detector had sensed something approaching,
fast. The whine was drowned out by the creature’s roar, and it felt to Pierre
as if the whole chamber vibrated. He pressed the freefall button on his harness
and dropped faster, but was suddenly yanked upwards. Pebble-sized rocks
pummelled his head and shoulders.

"Cut the line!" Blake
shouted from below.

In disbelief Pierre looked upward
and saw nothing, then raked his goggles down and managed to switch on his torch
– the creature washauling him up. He could see its trapezoidal head, the blood
red breathing slits writhing on its black-blue face. The creature’s roar made
Pierre’s hands freeze, clinging to the cord.

"Pierre! CUT – THE – LINE!"

He rose rapidly in jerks, a metre at
a time, the creature’s forelegs feverishly pulling up the line, like a spider
reeling in a fly. Pierre could hardly breathe, as his right hand flailed behind
him groping for the knife. His head bashed against the cliff face knocking his
torch from his left hand as he tried to protect himself. He knew he had only a
few more seconds. His outstretched right hand fingers brushed across the hilt
and he gripped it with all his might. Another yank pulled him up almost to the
ledge. With a yell not far short of a


scream, he whipped the knife above his
head and severed the line, feeling a gust of air as a claw lashed past his
face. He freefell, hurling the knife sideways so he could lock his elbows
around his neck and head, the creature’s howl of fury chasing him as he tumbled
into the darkness below.

Following Israel killing over 50 Palestinians last Monday, the UN Human Rights Council special session condemned the wholly disproportionate and indiscriminate use of force by Israel and resolved to investigate all alleged violations and abuse of international law.

Australia and the USA stood alone in opposing the resolution.

While the resolution did call on all parties to reduce the possibility of civilian deaths, it rightly focused on the responsibility of Israel as the occupying power for their disproportionate and indiscriminate response to protests.

In the last six weeks of protests, over a hundred Palestinians, including children and journalists have been shot and killed by Israel, including several shot in the back of the head. Israel has also maimed thousands with ‘expanding bullets’, and some have suffocated to death from

En route to his first Daytona 500 win, Hamlin held off Truex by .010-seconds —the closest finish ever in the Great American Race. Busch, Kevin Harvick and Edwards rounded out the top five.

A massive fire in New York City that killed at least 12 people, including four children, at a five-story apartment building Thursday night was likely caused by a small child playing with a stove, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday.

De Blasio confirmed the death toll and said at least four other people were critically injured in the Bronx fire, the city’s deadliest in about 25 years. A 3-year-old boy sparked the blaze on the first floor, the mayor said.

The boy “had a history” of playing with burners on the stove, New York Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro added. When the child’s mother discovered the fire, she took the boy and a 2-year-old out of the building, but left the door

By Roz Kohls

The Economic Development Partnership of Wright County offers assistance to businesses interested in locating in Wright County.

The county and its 16 cities are organized to offer financing assistance, workforce development, site location, and other resources for businesses. Janice Severson of Cokato is on the board of directors for the partnership, as well as Wright County Commissioner Pat Sawatzke.

The expansion of Olsen Chain & Cable in Cokato, and the growth of Dura Supreme in Howard Lake, are examples of the strength of manufacturing in Wright County, according to the partnership’s executive director, Noel LaBine. They are thriving despite weaknesses in the housing and auto sectors nationwide, he said.

Olsen Chain & Cable, which employs 50 people, moved into a new


and bigger building at 310 1st St., in December in the industrial park on the north side of Cokato, according to company president, Dave Camp. The partnership intends to set up a tour in Olsen Chain & Cable after the move is complete.

Camp said the company, which manufactures hoists and tools, has been moving gradually so not to disrupt or delay its customers’ orders. He expects the move will be complete from its former location at 300 1st St. E., in mid-May, he said.

“Apparently, their product is in demand for remodeling jobs, because with the large decrease in new home construction, how else could you explain expansion in the demand for their product?” said LaBine in the partnership’s April newsletter.

The partnership has 345 individuals involved in networking withcommunity leaders from Wright County, developers, contractors, Realtors, and city representatives.

Upcoming events sponsored by the partnership are a “Retail Analysis of Wright County,” Wednesday, April 25 at 11:30 a.m. at the Cinemagic Theater of St. Michael; and “The Status of Industrial Park Properties in Wright County and the Region,” on Wednesday, May 16, at 11:30 a.m. in Rockwoods of Otsego.

Recent partnership events were a 2007 Area Job Fair March 20 at the Monticello High School, and a “Transportation Plans for Wright County” seminar at the Silver Springs Golf Course in Monticello.

The partnership achieved one of its goals March 27, to have the Wright County Board of Commissioners raise the cap on the enterprise loan fund. Eligible businesses can receive up to $50,000 for use of this fund, which

Hisame is a serious character in the Japanese version of Fire Emblem Fates, but was changed to have an overt obsession with pickles, possibly intended to be funny.

Harold and his child Lutz have been renamed to Arthur and Percy. The original names are from old European words related to war, which tied in to the theme of the game they appear in: Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest.

Effie's character was changed from a kindhearted gentle giant to a macho narcissist. She now has a fixation on her muscles.

Kana now speaks dragon at times, which is just gibberish like “rghhrrrrrgh grhh rrr.” It's a play on an old meme. The character has been made far more childish in North America than in Japan. Male Kana is also shotdown with by any character he proposes to in the North American version.

Sophie was a little clumsy in the Japanese version, but the American localization plays it up and gives her silly lines that aren't present in the original.

Keaton is a werewolf in the Japanese version, but in the the NA release, his race are “Wolfskin.” They changed all of the werewolves into furries and made them fascinated by their animal traits. Dialogue between Keaton and his daughter was changed significantly.

Saizo and Beruka had an entire conversation cut and replaced by ellipsis. It was a fairly in depth conversation revealing a lot about the characters' backgrounds and reputations as feared assassins.

The list goes on and on, with references to the Simpsons (Wellity, Wellity, Wellity), Sonic (You're too slow!),


and urban dictionary terms (Slappyface!) spread throughout.

More than 60% of the vocal audio files in the game were removed. The voice actress for Azura was recorded telling people that Nintendo's secrecy on the project lead to voice actors knowing virtually nothing needed to do their jobs well. This would explain why the voice acting is of such poor quality and why many characters have reactions that don't fit what's actually happening in the game.

Coincidentally, shortly after the Niche Gamer ran this story, the video was taken down, with the uploader claiming "harassment" was the primary reason. The voice actress then said Niche Gamer had it wrong. Fortunately, Niche Gamer had a mirror of the video uploaded as proof of their claims.

St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka opened its new Northeast Wing this week, after several years of planning, construction, and delays.

Thirty-four patients were moved into the 100,000-square-foot addition, and the emergency department also opened.

"We're thrilled to be in there," said hospital spokeswoman Leslie Broomall.

Planning for the project started in 2000, and ground was broken in 2007. She said the hospital now has three "wings" -- one built in 1954, one in 1997, and the most recent. The new addition means the hospital's urgent care clinic will close in January, which has raised some concerns about higher costs for those seeking treatment for minor ailments.

The $145 million project is the result of


an unfunded state mandate requiring all California hospitals to comply with updated seismic laws by 2013. The original hospital -- built in 1954 -- was not compliant, necessitating the addition, Broomall said.

The seismic law for hospitals was passed by the state Legislature after the Northridge earthquake in 1994, said California Hospital Association spokeswoman Jan Emerson-Shea. Originally, those improvements were to be made by 2008.

"It became clear many hospitals weren't going to be able to meet the 2008 deadline," she said. About 40 percent of hospital buildings in the state had to be rebuilt, she said, and the total estimated cost was $110 billion. The deadline for hospitals was pushed back to 2013, with some extensions.

"Hospitals had to figure out how to pay for it on their own," Emerson-Sheaby visiting directly with Google at their headquarters and laying out elaborate statements on his website. After perusing the McCain website, the vast majority of his page on technology seems to involve broad statements about open trade and educating people about technology. He does support increased broadband penetration and intellectual property reform (both of which are badly needed in the United States), but he does specifically oppose net neutrality.

Whichever way you vote this year, remember that as a geek your vote may not only affect the economy, but also the way in which technology is treated here and around the world.

In very surprising news, a report today indicates that the Kings may propose moving to Virginia Beach, a resort town near the Hamptons in Virginia, to play in a new arena backed by Comcast.

Wait, what?

From Inside Business, The Hampton Roads Business Journal:

The owners of the Sacramento Kings, an NBA franchise, and officials from Philadelphia-based Comcast-Spectacor are expected to be in Virginia Beach Tuesday to propose moving the team to the resort city and for Comcast to help build and lease a new pro sports arena. A deal between the Maloof family, which owns the Sacramento Kings, and the city of Sacramento for a $391 million entertainment complex fell apart three months ago and it has been reported that the owners are looking for a city for their franchise.

The alimony was nice and it left me able to pursue my own passions in art as well as allow me to live in an apartment the city.

Shelly and I met at the gym where she was working as a personal trainer. She was super nice and quickly a friendship developed between us. Tom was cool enough but he was constantly gone on business, leaving his wife alone in their home. Several times, Shelly and I would hang out together at either hers or my place, getting drunk, complaining about men or just watchingin on. Shelly was lounging on the couch, her body barely covered by the silken negligee and matching panties that she was wearing. Normally, Shelly is a bit conservative with her dress. But here, I could see almost her entire body on display. The fabric that was covering her tits was soaked through with her milk and her bush was visible through the thin silk of her panties. My mouth went dry and I just stood there for a second, taking in the sight. Yes, I'd seen Shelly naked before, as she'd seen me, showering at the gym. But this was different. We were alone, in the privacy of her house. Not in public surrounded by other women. I resisted the strong urge to just run over there

She took my hand in hers and pressed it against her cheek, silently conveying gratefulness. I patted her face a couple of times before sitting on the recliner. We talked about things; my newest project, her recent trip to the OB, the redecorating going on when she let out this long moan and grabbed her breast.

"God, I can't wait for these two to arrive." She said, her voice strained. I asked her what was wrong and she said that she had foolishly left her breast pump in the other car, which was now parked at thethe other one and began to drink her dry. I started rubbing her belly, caressing her swollen stomach but she reached up and grabbed my hand. For a second, I thought she wanted me to stop rubbing her but instead, she guided my hand lower. To her pussy. I stopped suckling in surprise and looked at her. Shelly's eyes were closed and she was biting her lower lip. "Please." she said, not opening her eyes. "It's been so long since I've cum. I need your help Britt." Smiling, I lowered my head to her nipple and began suckling again. My fingers then began to fondle her pussy. The crotch of her panties were soaked through and I ran my fingers through her wetness. I started rubbing her engorged


clit and Shelly began to breath faster. I pinched her clit gently between my fingers, rubbing them back and forth. Shelly placed her hand on the back of my head again, holding me against her tit. I continued sucking, thoroughly enjoying the flavor of her tit juice. I rubbed my index finger around the entrance of her pussy before easing it into her. Shelly bucked her hips at that and I added my middle finger too. Curling them up, I tickled her g spot, causing her to let out a long moan.

I drained her tits dry before moving down to her vagina. It was spread open before my gaze, her hair matted with her juices. Bending down, I inhaled the sweet scent of her cum before placing mythe juices pouring out of her. She screamed again as another orgasm passed through her body.

Finally, she reached down and pushed my head away. I relented and raised up, looking at her face. Shelly's eyes were half lidded, a smile on her lips as her chest rose and fell with her labored breathing. I smiled at her, rose up and went to sit back down on the recliner. "God, it's been so long." she finally said. "Thank you."

"Um...my pleasure." I replied, not really knowing what to say to that. She laughed at my reply as she pulled the blanket back up, covering her belly but leaving her tits on display. "What do you mean 'it's been so long'?" I asked, a little curious by her words.

"It's been so


Britt. I mean, he's come home from one of his "business trips" more than once and I've smelled the perfume off of his clothes. I think he's fucking other women." I sat in silence at this revelation. I didn't think Tom would ever cheat on Shelly. I'd seen the way he looked at her and knew that he loved her deeply. I took a minute to gather my thoughts before replying.

"That could mean anything Shelly. I mean, he works closely with a lot of people. I'm sure you've smelled other men's cologne on him as well." Shelly laughed at that and I realized what I'd just said. "Okay, you know what I mean."

"Yeah, you're probably right. It's just...I miss him and wish he'd be intimate with me again."

I watched her as she slowly stuck her tongue out and gave her fingers a lick, tasting another woman for the first time. "Mmmmmm..." she moaned, taking another lick. "Britt, you taste amazing." I giggled at that.

"Well, why not a taste right from the source?" Shelly looked up at me and, after a second, nodded. I propped my left leg on the side of her head, bracing myself with my right one. Squatting down just so I barely touched her mouth with my cunt, I almost came when I felt her tongue touch my outer lips, licking them clean. She brought her hands up between


Doug Butzier, the Libertarian candidate in the Iowa race for U.S. Senate, was killed in a plane crash on Monday, Butzier’s wife confirmed to local Iowa TV station KCRG-TV.

The crash happened near Dubuque Regional Airport. Butzier was the sole occupant of the single-engine plane. The plane crash happened roughly one mile north of the Dubuque runway after taking off from the Ankeny Regional Airport, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Butzier served as an emergency room physician at Mercy Medical Center-Dubuque, according to the Dubuque Herald-Telegraph.

A Public Policy Polling survey of the Iowa Senate race conducted in late September found Butzier was pulling 2 percent of the vote among likely voters.

It seems that actor Columbus Short is truly a gladiator. A bar fight involving the Scandal staris being investigated after the man he allegedly fought was sent to the hospital.

On March 15, Short was with a group celebrating a couple’s engagement at Gabe's Bar and Grill in Los Angeles. During the celebration the Cadillac Records actor was involved in an argument at the bar with another patron. According to TMZ, Short was angered by the guy, who reportedly made the comment: "You might be richer than me but I get my girls to buy me everything I want, including your wife."

The expert group has examined the present state as well as the aims, scope and construction schedule of the fuel distribution network. The areas included in the study were electronic transport, fluid biofuels requiring a separate distribution, natural gas and biogas, alternative propulsion systems in water transport and hydrogen.

Possible means to promote the alternative fuels market could include new economic instruments, such as tax reliefs.

The expert group had representatives from central government administration, Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities and energy companies. The distribution network development will continue under the supervision of the Ministry of Transport and Communications.

Typically, drug delivery vehicles are formed as aqueous carriers, gels, polymeric inserts or particulates incorporating a pharmaceutical compound. Once the drug delivery vehicle is placed at the desired delivery site, the pharmaceutical compound is released from the delivery vehicle over a period of time. The time release profile of the drug is dependent upon a number of variables. Included in these variables are the release mechanisms of the drug from the drug delivery vehicle (typically either erosion, diffusion or both), the amount of drug incorporated into the drug delivery vehicle, the solubility of the drug in the surrounding physiological milieu and, in the case of particulate delivery vehicles, the


incorporated therapeutic or diagnostic compound, with any associated particulate carrier and with the intended physiological target environment. Generally, the liquid carrier of choice is a sterile water solution of the appropriate pH and osmolality. However, a problem with mixing and storing pharmaceutical compounds in aqueous carriers intended for an aqueous physiological target environment is that invariably the particles will break down or dissolve or the incorporated pharmaceutical compound will leach out into the aqueous carrier prior to administration. This may result in a significant loss of pharmaceutical activity following administration as any released or leached drug contained in the aqueous carrier will be flushed from the target site relatively rapidly as the carrier is drained through the lacrimal system.
This tendency to break down or leach into the carrierwill discuss their views of the future. This diverse panel of experts will discuss how you must change today to survive tomorrow.

This particular battle comes at a time that the state is also waiting on federal relief money to aid in recovering from Hurricane Harvey. The current proposal will allow for the state to make moves to fight and even prevent some flood damage (to an extent) by laying the groundwork for obtaining flood contracts, responding more efficiently to flood conditions, and preparing residents for future floods.

The area's structural weakness is exemplified by alternating periods of uplift and subsidence originating in the Late Precambrian, commencing with the Pan-African orogeny that consolidated a number of proto-continental fragments into an early Gondwanaland. Rifting commenced in the Early Cretaceous, peaked in the Late Cretaceous, and ended in the early Cenozoic, resulting in the triple junction within the basin. The Late Cretaceous rifting event is characterized by formation of a sequence of northwest-trending horsts and grabens that step progressively downward to the east; the Sirte Trough represents the deepest portion of the basin.

October 8, 1912: First Balkan War Begins

Serbian Generals/

On this date in 1912, Montenegro declared war on the Ottoman Empire, opening the First Balkan War and moving Europe one step closer to the conflagration looming in 1914.


Immediately after the declaration, Montenegrin armies crossed into the Sanjak of Novibazar – the narrow strip of Turkish territory separating Montenegro from Serbia – and advanced on Scutari (Shkodra), an important port city lying on the Adriatic Sea just south of Montenegro.

Montenegro only put about 45,000 troops in the field, but the little kingdom was merely the standard-bearer for the Balkan League, whose other members would join the war against the Ottoman Empire on October 18. Bulgaria would contribute over 350,000 troops, Serbia 230,000 troops, and Greece 125,000 troops to their combined military operation against the Turks. These forces, totaling around 750,000, faced Turkish forces totaling around 335,000 in Europe. The Turks could draw additional troops from their Asian possessions, but the Balkan League hoped to achieve victorybefore reinforcements arrived (the Greek navy would also help slow Turkish reinforcements by running interference against the Turkish navy in the Aegean Sea).

Although the Balkan League ultimately won a huge victory over the Turks in the First Balkan War, they soon fell to fighting each other over the spoils in the Second Balkan War in 1913. The main dispute was between Bulgaria and Serbia, which both claimed former Ottoman territories in Macedonia; while they’d previously agreed to submit any disagreements to Tsar Nicholas II of Russia for arbitration, the mild-mannered autocrat and his indecisive foreign minister, Sergei Sazonov, were unable to come up with a compromise satisfactory to both parties, spelling even more trouble down the road.

Indeed, while the First and Second


Balkan Wars were confined to the Balkan Peninsula, they would have continent-wide ramifications foreshadowing the Great War to come. All four members of the Balkan League came out of the conflicts with increased territories and populations, which meant they could field bigger armies in future, making them more threatening to their neighbors. Serbia, in particular, emerged from the Second Balkan War with greatly enhanced power, prestige, and self-confidence.

Following the Balkan Wars the neighboring Great Powers, Russia and Austria-Hungary, also adopted more assertive foreign policies, increasing the risk of a much wider European war. By failing to mediate effectively between Serbia and Bulgaria over their competing claims to Macedonia, Tsar Nicholas II ended up alienating Bulgaria, leaving Serbia as Russia’s only ally in the Balkans; fromPakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, and beyond in spite of claims of "surgical” precision from former CIA director John Brennan in 2011.

In 2007, Wells Fargo & Co. received a foreclosure judgment on a $681,000 mortgage. Gary Longnecker filed to liquidate assets under Chapter 7 of federal bankruptcy law in February 2008, three weeks before the home was to be auctioned at sheriff's sale. The filing resulted in the cancellation of the sale.

Wells Fargo sought relief from the automatic stay that resulted from the bankruptcy filing, which a bankruptcy court granted. The home was rescheduled for sheriff's sale on Dec. 30, 2008.

Gary Longnecker filed to reorganize his finances under Chapter 13 of federal bankruptcy law 30 minutes before the sale was to begin. The handwritten petition temporarily halted the sale.

Wells Fargo assigned the mortgage to Deutsche Bank, which canceled the sheriff's sale. On Valentine's Day 2009, a judge


dismissed the Chapter 13 case on a motion by the trustee in the case.

A month later, Deutsche Bank received a court order for a third sheriff's sale. Less than an hour before that sale was scheduled to start, Gary Longnecker filed another Chapter 13 petition. The bank canceled the auction, and Longnecker moved to have his bankruptcy case dismissed.

Six days before the statute of limitations was to expire on the original foreclosure judgment, Deutsche Bank was granted a fourth special execution, and a sheriff's sale was set for Jan. 7, 2010. Deutsche Bank canceled the sale, claiming that there was a potential for a "short sale" with the Longneckers.

On May 20, 2011, Deutsche Bank purchased the Longneckers' property at a rescheduled sheriff's sale, and the sheriff filed thereturn of special execution satisfied. However, the case wasn't over.

Later that year, the Longneckers attempted to reclaim title to their home, claiming that Deutsche Bank had strayed outside the statute of limitations that started with Wells Fargo's 2007 foreclosure.

Polk County Judge Robert Hanson agreed, ruling that each bankruptcy filing pre-empted actions in state court to obtain the property, and that Deutsche Bank had not obtained the property inside the timeline that was established in 2007.

"While the Longneckers' actions of filing multiple bankruptcies and attempts to negotiate may have delayed the pending sheriff's sales, it was Deutsche Bank's cancellation of the sheriff's sale scheduled after the fourth execution which ultimately foreclosed its ability to execute on its judgment," according to the court ruling, which was upheld by the Iowa

The English language in America is not threatened. All evidence suggests that recent immigrants are overwhelmingly aware of the social and economic advantages of becoming proficient in English, and require no additional compulsion to learn the language.

American unity has never rested primarily on unity of language, but rather on common political and social ideals.

History shows that a common language cannot be imposed by force of law, and that attempts to do so usually create divisiveness and disunity. This has been the effect, for example, of the efforts of the English to impose the English language

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to the field of mechanical soil processing means of rotary implements and more particularly, it is concerned with an agricultural maching adapted to perform mechanical processing of the soil under conditions of very high productivity and flexibility insofar as different displacements and working requirements are concerned.
2. The Prior Art
Generally, such machines, commonly called "agricultural hoes" or just "cultivators" are combined, for operation, with agricultural tractors having a weight and power suitable to the dimensions of the machines and from which the machines receive the power necessary for their advancement as well as for rotation of the implements.
An important and substantial improvement in the machines of the prior art and in the agricultural field in general has been made byaction of the soil and a thrust in a forward direction, respectively. By suitably proportioning the overall weight of the machine, the distribution of weights on the axes of the machine as well as on all the rotary implements processing the soil, and the powers of the two energy sources, it has been possible to obtain very high production outputs and predetermined ranges of conditions of consistency of the soil to be processed and practicability of the soil by the machine (that is, the drag, irrespective of the fact that the thrust necessary to overcome said drag, is due to the reaction to the tilling effect or the power imparted to the bearing wheels).
These recent developments in the field have practically introduced a new and important methodology of


the assembly of rotary implements and wheels respectively, during operation. In fact, it has been found that on consistent soils (which require a considerable amount of energy for actuation of the rotary implements, in view of the drag that said soils offer to cutting, to their breakage into clods and their crushing) and that due to the fact that they are compact before processing, they are easily practicable by the machine (offering a small drag to advancement of the heavy equipment), practically all the energy available may be applied to the rotary implements, the thrust necessary for advancement being supplied, at times even in excess, by operation of the rotary implements themselves.
In order to hypothetically attain these objects and consequently impart to the machine a suitability or flexibilityResidents of a western Baghdad neighbourhood have said militant groups in the area are hunting down women and killing them, and have appealed to parliament to do something, a member of parliament (MP) said on 22 April, 2008.

€200 million EU funding for cross-border energy infrastructure

The European Commission is making €200 million of funding available for projects in the areas of electricity, smart grids, cross-border carbon dioxide network and gas infrastructure, as part of the first call for proposals under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Energy in 2018. The money is intended for projects that will strengthen the EU's internal energy market, enhance security of energy supply, and help make Europe’s clean energy transition a reality. The call for proposals will be open until 26 April 2018.

The CEF provides EU funding for infrastructure projects. It supports energy projects that help to achieve the EU's broader energy policy objectives of increasing competitiveness, enhancing security of energy supply, and contributing to sustainable development and protection of the environment,A gravely mentally ill inmate at the Boulder jail has sued Sheriff Joe Pelle in federal court, claiming jail staff failed to stop the man from using his fingers to gouge out his own eyes after several prior attempts to do so.

Ryan Partridge, 31, sued Pelle and 21 other jail employees in U.S. District Court in Denver, claiming he blinded himself because they failed to note warning signs to treat his mental illness, according to the civil lawsuit filed Thursday by Denver civil rights attorneys David Lane and Kathryn Stimson.

Partridge, who is now blind and suffers from deep, severe schizophrenic psychosis, is seeking monetary awards for negligence, including compensatory damages for physical and psychological injuries including pain and emotional distress and humiliation. He suffers from auditory and visual


hallucinations, delusions and paranoia, the lawsuit says.

On Dec. 17, 2016, Partridge curled up in a ball in his cell with fingernails that hadn’t been cut for six weeks and plucked both of his eyes “completely out of his head,” the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit says jailers failed to respond to a series of precursor events in which Partridge said he would gouge his eyes out. In early 2016, he banged his head into his toilet, breaking seven teeth, the lawsuit says.

Six weeks earlier, while in the grip of a psychotic episode, Partridge had attempted suicide by climbing to the top railing on a second-floor tier inside the jail and diving headfirst into a metal table. He smashed his head on the table and then the cement floor. He survivedhead and vertebrae injury, broken teeth and ultimately, to his permanent blindness.”

Jail officers also “repeatedly used excessive force against an uncomprehending Mr. Partridge, regularly Tasing and punching him, leaving him bloodied, in pain, and tortured,” the lawsuit says.

The jail failed to properly train officers in how to care for a mentally ill inmate, the lawsuit said.

In 2014 and 2015, Partridge’s parents began noticing signs of mental illness, including irrational speech and tics. His father took him to a hospital for a 72-hour mental health hold. In 2015 and 2016, his parents repeatedly called police after Partridge had violent outbursts.

According to jail records, deputies noted that Partridge was off his psychiatric medications and showed signs of psychosis and bizarre behavior, the lawsuit said.

“Inmate Partridge is well known to the


Boulder County Jail staff and has a history of mental health issues, which has been deteriorating considerably, with each passing incarceration,” one deputy wrote.

In early 2016, Partridge told deputies that the CIA was telling him to “dig out his eyes” and he unsuccessfully attempted to do so.

On March 22, 2016, deputies saw Partridge trying to gouge his eyes out. He was also psychotic and chanting, the lawsuit says. He was taken to Boulder Community Hospital, where he again tried to gouge his eyes out during his initial evaluation, the lawsuit says.

Partridge had been diagnosed with schizophrenia in September after saying a judge could hear his thoughts and he wanted to make his mother into a puppet. He became manic that fall and at one time told a deputy:immediate attention and took no action, the lawsuit says. At 9 p.m., deputy Christian Berringer passed Partridge’s cell and noticed Partridge had dried blood on his face coming from the corner of his eye. His eyes were swollen shut and he had blood on his hands, the lawsuit says.

Later deputies entered the cell and again used a Taser on Partridge, and Smith slammed him to the floor, the lawsuit says.

After deputies had Partridge partially open one eye lid, they rushed him to a hospital.


Down at the far west end of the farm, scores of neatly planted and sprouting vegetables lay planted in simple, fenced-in rectangles. Several long rows had been completely uprooted, and sitting by the near fence-post of each row was a thatched basket filled with misshapen carrots, cucumbers, and beets.

With the help of several energetic lambs, Elsa combed through each basket and plucked out the ripest of the rejects.

Anna, meanwhile, hustled to the rear of the planting area with her burlap pack. There, she found a series of roughly-dug holes, and sniffed around each before offering a friendly chirp.

Hello Senators Goalie Graveyard.

But if you thought Ottawa Fury FC going out and signing a new top keeper was going to complicate things for the club with three keepers already under contract, the head coach doesn't see it that way.

Many were surprised Wednesday when Marc Dos Santos and the club announced the signing of French goalkeeper Romuald Peiser, who has spent the last six seasons in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. After all, Devala Gorrick played every minute in goal for Fury FC in the spring season.

"No, I don't see, for now, (any) complications"," Dos Santos said Thursday.

The coach has never been shy about saying he would make any necessary moves he believed would improve the club. While the coach said Thursday the club


hadn't actively been seeking another goalkeeper, he wasn't happy with the club surrendering 13 goals in nine NASL matches in the spring and promised he would work to remedy that. His first move was bringing defender Ryan Richter in on loan from Toronto FC, and when Peiser became available, Dos Santos said he was worried he'd regret not making a pitch for him.

"I want to make this team better every day," Dos Santos told the Sun after training at TD Place Thursday. "If the team is a six (out of 10), well for me that's not good enough. If I can make this club a seven, an eight or a nine, I'm here for that."

The transfer window opened in Europe Tuesday and a decision had to be madetrip to Toronto 15 years ago -- and said it was hearing about the team Dos Santos was building that made him decide to leave the Portuguese league.

"I'm very happy, it was a long trip to come here but I'm very happy to be (here)," said the native of Phalsbourg, France.

Peiser played more than 10,000 minutes in 112 games splits between Naval and Academico of the Primeria Liga, but wouldn't get into specifics about his expectations were for his role in Ottawa.

"I'm only part of the project, so the coach makes the decision," he said. "I'm (here) to work. If he thinks I'm ready to play, I play."

Dos Santos said he doesn't mind carrying four keepers for the time being.

"For now yes, but in the longer term no,


it's not something I want to do," he said.

HAMZA HEADED HOME

Dos Santos called the decision to release young Ghanain midfielder Hamza Elias "heartbreaking" but necessary.

The team had to free up a foreign roster spot and Elias only saw minimal action with the club in the spring season.

The midfielder was seen as something of a project this season, the one player the staff knew the least about. Without a reserve team to give him playing time, Dos Santos said he wanted to give Elias a chance to make the starting squad out of camp. But with that part of the pitch likely the team's strongest and deepest, that proved difficult.

"We feel we have one of the best midfields in the league," said Dos Santos, adding the eventual return ofinjured midfielder Nicki Paterson would have knocked Elias further down the depth chart.

"For a foreigner to be the fourth or fifth choice -- yeah, he's going to come in for 15 minutes here and there, but it's not enough for a foreigner."

Dos Santos said had Elias been a Canadian-born player, he would have kept him on the roster. League rules permit only seven non-North Anericans per team.

"Our foreign players have to have a very good chance of starting," the coach said.

SIDELINES

Fury FC leaves Saturday to kick off the NASL fall season in Edmonton against the Eddies ... The club is confident somewhere in the neighbourhood of 13,000 people will attend the Fury's first home game July 20 against New York ... Dos Santos said the club is close


to signing a new goalkeeper coach to fill the position vacated by David Bellemare at the end of the spring campaign. The coach is hopeful the deal will be finalized by next week ... The Fury's visibility got a boost during a huge open house event at TD Place Wednesday night, thanks to back-to-back introductions of both the RedBlacks and Fury. Some people still don't seem to know there's a pro soccer club in town now ... Fury FC played an inter squad game Wednesday morning, which included up and coming Fury Academy player Jacob Schroeter. The young player didn't seem out of place alongside the NASL group.

The devil made him say it

The man who preaches to the pope today compared a few critical news stories about the Catholic Church's problems with perversion to the persecution of the Jews.Above is what the persecution of the Jews looked like.

But the pope's own priest, in the Vatican, on Good Friday, as the pope listened, said that stories about priests raping little boys, bishops covering it up and enabling the priests to rape again . . . and again . . . and again . . . and again . . . and whether the pope -- when he was an archbishop and a cardinal -- did enough to put a stop to it, that those articles are somehow so awful as to be compared


against priests in the past, and sought to focus attention on the church as the central victim.

In recent weeks, Vatican officials and many bishops have angrily denounced news reports that Benedict failed to act strongly enough against pedophile priests, once as archbishop of Munich and Friesing in 1980 and once as a leader of a powerful Vatican congregation in the 1990s.

Benedict sat looking downward when the Rev. Raniero Cantalamessa, who holds the office of preacher of the papal household, delivered his remarks in the traditional prayer service in St. Peter’s Basilica. Wearing the brown cassock of a Franciscan, Father Cantalamessa took note that Easter and Passover were falling during the same week this year, saying he was led to think of the Jews. “They know from experience whatis sufficient talk outside of here,” he said.

Disclosures about hundreds of such cases have emerged in recent months in Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and France, after a previous round of scandal in the United States earlier this decade.

A leading advocate for sex abuse victims in the United States, David Clohessy, called comparing criticism of the church to persecution of the Jews “breathtakingly callous and misguided.”

“Men who deliberately and consistently hide child sex crime are in no way victims,” he said. “And to conflate public scrutiny with horrific violence is about as wrong as wrong can be.”

The comments could cause a new twist in Vatican-Jewish relations, which have had ups and downs during Benedict’s papacy.

Sassy Girl Dancing to ‘Respect’ Is the Ultimate Child Star

Check out 6-year-old Johanna Colon, who has become a star for her performance while dancing to Aretha Franklin's classic song, "Respect" during a recent recital. The North Carolina girl has earned viral sensation status for showing off some serious diva-tude and confidently owning the routine. (And how about those poor girls dancing with her? Talk about being in the shadows!)

The video was initially uploaded to Facebook and has since been viewed an astonishing 35 million times.

Johanna's mother tells Today her daughter simply has no idea what all the fuss is about:

We told Johanna about it, and she's excited, but she really doesn't totally understand. She was more excited that she had her last day of school and that shecast, you cannot shake. Hillerman once said in an interview that the first time he pulled up to a trading post and saw elderly Navajos sitting on the bench outside, he felt “right at home.”

Like my actual great-uncles, he had served as an infantryman in World War II. And, like my uncles also, he had killed in combat, a fact about which he was taciturn and stoic.

He had been severely wounded, and often talked about traveling through New Mexico after the war with two fellow soldiers who were Navajos, and coming upon tribe members conducting an Enemy Way ceremony to cleanse another soldier of his service. These images stayed with him, influencing his work.

Yet it seems to me his direct experience of pain, of fear and suffering, of

Adefamation suit on January 4 against the government, Musa and Gani, for allegedly linking him with terrorist groups. He alleged that the statement by Musa, which he claimed defamed him, was made to prevent feelings of hatred towards the government and avoid racial conflict. According to the New Straits Times, the defendants have been claiming that the HINDRAF gathering on November 25 last year was held despite the police warning them not to do so. Musa claimed that Uthayakumar”’’s detention was lawful and done according to the Internal Security Act 1960. Gani also claimed that Uthayakumar is making up a story saying that his (Gani”’’s) statement published in a Malay daily on December 8 last year, referred to him.

Skywalker has up its sleeves.

The Rise of Skywalker is a mostly satisfying conclusion to an epic, galactic saga that spans decades. While there is nothing I strongly disliked about this film, I wanted more from the final battle. Perhaps I have been too spoiled by the likes of Avengers Endgame. Expectations set by the scene of Captain America standing poised to take on the might of Thanos alone, then hearing Sam's voice crackle in his com, and that sense of relief he feels accompanied by the portals opening from all across the universe.

The trailers for Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker teased that kind of moment, with a shot of the Falcon leading a fleet of Resistance ships, including The Ghost, to battle. This does happen in theeffective diffusion rate somewhat lower than the ideal.
Effective diffusivity also is decreased during loading of the surface of the sorbent with solute. This phenomenon has been explained as being due to occlusion of the entrance of the pore by adsorbed protein. As protein molecules begin to diffuse into the porous matrix, they are thought to sorb at the first sites encountered, which typically lie about the entryway of the pore. It is often the case that the dimensions of a macromolecular solute are significant relative to the diameter of the pore. Accordingly, after a few molecules have been sorbed, the entrance to the pore begins to occlude, and the passage of solute into the interior of the pore by diffusion is hindered. As a result of this occlusion

Trump advances controversial oil pipelines with executive action

The decision to advance the pipelines cast aside efforts by President Barack Obama's administration to block construction of the two pipelines, while making good on one of Trump's campaign promises.

As he signed the documents Tuesday in the Oval Office, Trump also vowed to "renegotiate some of the terms" of the Keystone bill and said he would then seek to "get that pipeline built."

Trump also issued executive actions declaring oil pipelines constructed in the US should be built with US materials, streamlining the regulatory process for pipeline construction and shortening the environmental review process.

Trump during his campaign said he would streamline the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, which was stalled for years in the Obama administration until Obama denied approval forthe pipeline's construction altogether in November 2015.

And Trump said for the first time in December that he supported construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, which stalled last year amid protests opposing its construction on Native American lands. The Obama administration denied the company a permit it needed to complete the pipeline late last year.

Protesters of the pipeline projects quickly condemned the decisions Tuesday.

"President Trump is legally required to honor our treaty rights and provide a fair and reasonable pipeline process," said Standing Rock Sioux Tribe chairman Dave Archambault II in a statement. "Americans know this pipeline was unfairly rerouted towards our nation and without our consent. The existing pipeline route risks infringing on our treaty rights, contaminating our water and the water of 17 million Americans downstream."

Environmental groups


and activists were also quick to slam the decision, with Tom Steyer, the president of NextGen Climate, accusing the Trump administration of putting "corporate interests ahead of American interests."

"The pipelines are all risk and no reward, allowing corporate polluters to transport oil through our country to be sold on the global market, while putting our air and water at serious risk," he said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, a Democrat from North Dakota where the Dakota Access Pipeline is being built, welcomed the move, as did Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia.

"What this country needs is more jobs, and that is why I have always been a proponent of the Keystone XL Pipeline and was an original cosponsor of legislation approving the Keystone XL Pipelineabout a half-mile upstream from the Standing Rock tribe reservation border -- to complete the project.

The headsman council at the Oceti Sakowin camp, home to a large protest site during demonstrations last year, issued a call on Tuesday for "allies and people to stand up where they are" and engage in "mass civil disobedience as a showing of solidarity for Standing Rock."

Desiree Kane, who spent seven months at the Oceti Sakowin Camp as a media volunteer, told CNN she ready to answer the call.

"I leave tomorrow morning," she said in an email.

Organizers from 350.org, the Sierra Club, CREDO, and other groups have already planned a rally outside the White House at 5 p.m. Tuesday to protest the decision.

"The Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines would be a disaster


and Bonita Wright conducted by Columbia County Sheriff's Department Investigator Johnny Neal. Investigator Neal's inquiry into the Wrights' suspected drug activity began approximately two years before the searches now under scrutiny and focused on their residence as a possible illegal drug distribution center. Investigator Neal's inquiry drew upon informants, information obtained from other law enforcement officers, surveillance of the residence and individuals connected with the suspected drug operation, and a controlled buy of a suspected illegal substance at the residence.
Based upon his findings, Investigator Neal contacted Chief Columbia County Magistrate Huguenin in early 1992 seeking a search warrant for the Wright residence. After first hearing the investigator's oral presentation, Magistrate Huguenin reviewed the written search warrant application and supporting affidavit, then issued a search warrant for the Wrightresidence. On February 22, 1992, Investigator Neal and others conducted a three- to four-hour search of the Wright residence during which contraband, including approximately one pound of cocaine and one pound of marijuana, was discovered.
Following the February 22, 1992, search, Investigator Neal approached Magistrate Huguenin for a second search warrant to allow re-entry of the Wright residence. Investigator Neal supported that search warrant application by reciting, through oral and affidavit testimony, the circumstances and results of the February 22, 1992, search and by noting Assistant United States Attorney Leon Barfield's opinion that the first search overlooked certain documentary evidence. Also of note, it appears that sometime between the first and second searches, someone broke the investigatory seal on the Wright residence and entered.

Rav Yitzchak Zilberstein relates the following story about a tense week before Pesach. Yisroel Goldbaum bought an expensive diamond-studded ring for his wife Esther, as a present for the upcoming Yom Tov of Pesach. Esther was deeply touched and felt so special.

A week before Pesach, she noticed the ring wasn’t on her finger. She searched thoroughly and again came up empty handed. Naturally, she was very upset and began to cry. Learning that the ring was missing, Yisroel also got very upset and said, “How could you be so careless That was a very expensive ring.”

The tension increased over the next few days as the ring still had not turned up. Noam,Borderlands The Pre-Sequel Coming to SteamOS, 75% Off on Borderlands 2

RUMORS HAVE continued to swirl about the how and why of Washington State fifth-year senior receiver Kristoff Williams' departure from the program, but after two weeks of tr...

For starters, Williams says, the rumor that he was being pressured back onto the field by coaches after sustaining his fourth concussion in five years earlier this season is not true. Nor is the suggestion that he was told to clean out his locker when he informed the staff of his decision to medically retire.

“That’s not how it went down,” said Williams definitively.

There was confusion, however, in Williams' mind as to whether he would be introduced with the rest of the seniors at the final home game, the Apple Cup on Nov. 29. Initially back in October he said he hadthe impression he would not be allowed to, but WSU Director of Football Operations Antonio Huffman this week assured Williams he absolutely would be honored with the seniors. Williams said he's "very excited to be able to finish it out on a high note like that.”

Williams was expected to be a major part of the Cougar offense and kick return team this season, but he sustained a concussion in Week Two at Nevada and never returned.

“I had been trying to come back at multiple points during the year but the headaches kept returning,” Williams said about his lost 2014 campaign. “… After attempting to go through the protocol a couple times, the team doctor (Sunday Henry) was expressing some concern. She said being that it’s lasted this long,


an error by Josef Newgarden during his final pit stop. Newgarden ran over an air hose, tripping a crew member, and was penalized for hitting pit equipment. Tony Kanaan suffered another disappointment, spinning out in the first turn after nearly tangling with other cars at the start. He spun around, and collected Marco Andretti.

The points leader going into the race, Hélio Castroneves, suffered throttle problems on the grid, and joined the race four laps down, and finished a lowly 19th. Will Power departed the race as the new points leader by four points over Castroneves. Third in the standings, Ryan Hunter-Reay, was unable to make up much ground in the championship race after a penalty for speeding in the pits, and later spinning out into the tire barrier.
