Bulgaria shares borders with Serbia, Macedonia, Romania, Greece, and Turkey. Two mountain ranges and two great valleys mark the topography of Bulgaria, a country the size of Tennessee and situated on the Black Sea. The Maritsa is Bulgaria's principal river, the Danube also flows through the country.
Parliamentary democracy.
The Thracians lived in what is now known as Bulgaria from about 3500 B.C. They were incorporated into the Roman Empire by the first century A.D. At the decline of the empire, the Goths, Huns, Bulgars, and Avars invaded. The Bulgars, who crossed the Danube from the north in 679, took control of the region. Although the country bears the name of the Bulgars, the Bulgar language and culture died out, replaced by a Slavic language, writing, and religion. In 865, Boris I adopted Orthodox Christianity. The Bulgars twice conquered most of the Balkan peninsula between 893 and 1280. But in 1396 they were invaded by the Ottoman Empire, which made Bulgaria a Turkish province until 1878. Ottoman rule was harsh and inescapable, given Bulgaria's proximity to its oppressor. In 1878, Russia forced Turkey to give Bulgaria its independence after the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878). But the European powers, fearing Russia's and Bulgaria's dominance in the Balkans, intervened at the Congress of Berlin (1878), limiting Bulgaria's territory and fashioning it into a small principality ruled by Alexander of Battenburg, the nephew of the Russian czar.
Alexander was succeeded in 1887 by Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who declared a kingdom independent of the Ottoman Empire on Oct. 5, 1908. In the First Balkan War (1912–1913), Bulgaria and the other members of the Balkan League fought against Turkey to regain Balkan territory. Angered by the small portion of Macedonia it received after the battle—it considered Macedonia an integral part of Bulgaria—the country instigated the Second Balkan War (June–Aug. 1913) against Turkey as well as its former allies. Bulgaria lost the war and all the territory it had gained in the First Balkan War. Bulgaria joined Germany in World War I in the hope of again gaining Macedonia. After this second failure, Ferdinand abdicated in favor of his son in 1918. Boris III squandered Bulgaria's resources and assumed dictatorial powers in 1934–1935. Bulgaria fought on the side of the Nazis in World War II, but after Russia declared war on Bulgaria on Sept. 5, 1944, Bulgaria switched sides. Three days later, on Sept. 9, 1944, a Communist coalition took control of the country and set up a government under Kimon Georgiev.

Good Boots
"These are ok boots. They are still too wide in the ankles but the calves are more slender which is nice since I don't have the giant calves the rest of the boots are designed with in mind. I wouldn't pay full price for these but on sale, they are pretty good."

best boots ever!
"These are the most comfortable boots ever! I have no problem wearing them all day. They look great with a skirt and also with jeans tucked in. I bought my first pair last year in black and just bought them in brown. The brown is very dark."

"The boots are very comfortable. They look great as well! I ordered a size 7 1/2 (I'm a 6-6 1/2) because I thought I wanted to leave room for different types of socks but it turns out to be a bit large. Don't order a size bigger than you are, maybe just half a size would be fine. Other than that, they are very durable and easy to walk in. Definitely should get this if you're looking for a nice comfortable boots, especially for the fall."

Following's Sunday victory in the de facto NFC East championship game, Robert Griffin III and Tony Romo met near midfield for a postgame handshake.
NBC cameras showed a live shot of the meeting, which lasted longer than the shake-and-go exchanges usually seen after big games. It was clear RGIII was saying something to Romo. Most figured the 22-year-old rookie was giving words of encouragement to the 32-year-old veteran.
Audio captured by Inside the NFL confirms that, but shows that Griffin didn't stop there.
So what did RGIII say to Romo?
He lied. He lied directly to his face.
"You're a great quarterback, man and this game doesn't mean anything," Griffin said.
PHOTOS: Team-by-team MVPs
Ouch. RGIII's words undeniably came from the right place but, man, that must have been painful for Romo to hear. It's like your kid brother telling you on his wedding day that you'll find love one day, old man.
As for the first part of that sentence; we don't believe in kicking a man when he's down. Even the biggest Romo supporter would have a hard time throwing around the "G" word after Sunday night. The second part? Both RGIII and Romo know that's not true.

Winning wasn't going to erase the past for Romo-- not without a corresponding win against Seattle in the playoffs -- but it was a step in the right direction. Narratives can change quickly in sports: witness the arcs of the careers of LeBron James and Phil Mickelson after they finally won titles. A comeback win against RGIII, another win against Seattle and a divisional playoff upset in Atlanta and all of a sudden, Romo's a star again. Dallas loses, so now Jerry Jones has to give his QB dreaded vote of confidence. It changes that quickly.
And fair or not, unless Romo does something to change the narrative (ie, winning an NFC title or a Super Bowl) in the next few seasons, Sunday night will be one of his defining performances.
Griffin began his statement with a piece of advice.
"Hey Tony. I just wanted to say to you, don't listen to what anybody else is saying about you," he said.
That one, Romo might want to listen to.

A group of ladies from Orangeville decorated a tree that was auctioned off at the Festival of Trees in Salt Lake City. The Festival ran from Dec. 4-7 and was held at the South Towne Expo Center. The group, consisting of Sara Grindley, Kathy Ockey, Bobbi Ockey and Dannette Waite raised $3,300 for Primary Children's Hospital.
During the summer, Bobbi Ockey's son was thrown from a horse. His injuries were bad enough to warrant being sent to Primary Children's Hospital. After his hospital stay and subsequent return to home, the parents were waiting for the bill to arrive. When none came, the Mom called the hospital to inquire about the balance left after their insurance payment. She was informed by Primary Children's Hospital that it had been taken care of. For families who have no insurance of those with insurance that does not pay the entire bill, the Festival of Trees Executive Board sponsors this fundraiser to help. The Festival has been in existence for 32 years raising money to help children in need. Last year, the Festival raised $1.1 million and this year these women from Orangeville will help to raise the total. This experience inspired Bobbi to come together with family and friends to do something extra for other children who may need help in the future. The women called on local businesses and were able to collect enough money to buy the tree and the decorations.
On the morning of Dec. 2, the doors to the center opened at 7 a.m. and the ladies had 12 hours to complete the display. Sara Grindley, who decorated the tree, reported the tree was auctioned off for $3,300. Every tree in the Festival must be named, so they called it "Sister to Sister" in honor of Toni Oliverson, a member of Orangeville Second Ward who is a breast cancer survivor.
The ladies have so enjoyed the experience, they decided to do a tree in the Festival every year in the future.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Mississippi State has a knack for creating turnovers, but so does Northwestern.
The No. 21-ranked Wildcats, who face MSU in the Gator Bowl on Tuesday, are plus-13 in turnover margin this season, which is tied for 10th in the country. They have created 25 turnovers and are especially adept at knocking the ball loose.
Northwestern has 16 fumble recoveries, which is tied for second nationally. It's recovered at least two fumbles five times this year and is 4-1 in those games.
The Wildcats drew inspiration earlier this season from Charles Tillman, a cornerback for the Chicago Bears who has recorded 10 forced fumbles this season.
Coach Pat Fitzgerald showed his defense some Tillman highlights, and it seems to have worked.
"You've got to think about it and do it in practice over and over again," said linebacker David Nwabuisi, who has two fumble recoveries. "It's repetition, really. When you constantly think about getting the ball out, you take reps and every time you get a tackle, you're trying to punch the ball out and rip the ball out."
That jibes with the approach Fitzgerald takes to creating turnovers. It's a full-time job, he said.
"I think a lot of teams have some nice clichés – 'Turnover Tuesdays' and all that crap. I don't buy into that," Fitzgerald said. "I think you've got to do it every day, every play."
No Communication
Communication breakdowns in the secondary were a recurring issue for MSU late this season, but the Bulldogs feel they've gotten that fixed.
Over its last five games, opponents are passing for an average of 273.4 yards with 12 touchdowns and four interceptions against State. In the Egg Bowl, Ole Miss had 294 yards and five TDs.
The Bulldogs have been working hard to communicate better.
"That's been our main focus," defensive back Corey Broomfield said. "Every play we want to make sure we're giving hand signals, we're talking and everybody knows the play before we get lined up. We feel like we're talented enough that nobody should get anything on us once we get lined up."
On the season, MSU ranks 57th in the country and eighth in the SEC in pass efficiency defense, and its 16 interceptions ties for 18th nationally.
What cowbells?
Two years ago here, Michigan used cowbells during practice to try and acclimate its players to the noise MSU fans would make during the Gator Bowl. There were no cowbells seen or heard at Northwestern's practice on Friday.
In fact, Nwabuisi acted as if he wasn't clued in to the Bulldog fans' dearly held cowbell tradition.
"What's the cowbells?" he said. "I probably won't hear them."

Dear Mr. Dad: My wife and I sometimes fight when our children, eight and ten, are present. We know we probably shouldn't argue in front of them but things are sometimes so tense that we can't stop ourselves (I recently lost my job and we're facing possible foreclosure). How damaging is it to argue in front of children, and how can we stop?
A: You're right: you probably shouldn't argue in front of your children. Some studies have found that kids whose parents fight a lot may become depressed, anxious, or withdrawn. They may also imitate their parents and pick fights with siblings, friends, and even other adults.
That said, it's completely unrealistic to think that you and your wife should never argue at all. Disagreements are a natural part of even the best relationships. In fact, not having any arguments might be worse than an occasional flare-up. Small quarrels are good for letting off steam—and given your precarious financial situation, you're producing enough steam to supply your whole neighborhood with electricity. Keeping it all bottled up will eventually lead to a huge explosion. Exposing your kids to small amounts of conflict—along with the same number of make-ups—demonstrates effective problem-solving skills and shows that fighting with someone you love is not the end of the world.
So your challenge isn't really to step arguing at all, but to find ways to handle your disagreements constructively. One excellent approach is to agree that when you see that an argument is in danger of turning ugly, you'll stop and give yourselves time to cool off. Come up with a secret word or phrase that either one of you can say that signals it's time for a break. If you're able to postpone the argument for a bit, chances are that one of three things will happen: You'll be able to discuss things more calmly, you'll realize that the issue wasn't as big a deal as you thought, or you'll forget what you were arguing about in the first place.
Of course, despite your best intentions, you're never going to be able to stop yourselves every time. Here are some things to do when your kids end up with front-row seats:
- Fight fair. No yelling, no swearing, no personal insults, no threats, no door slamming or vase throwing, and certainly no physical violence of any kind, ever.
- Damage control. Talk to your children about what they saw. Don't go into details or lay any blame. Simply tell them that you and mom disagreed and lost your tempers, but now you've made up and everything is okay.
- Don't pretend things are fine when they aren't. Your kids are old enough to understand that you'll all need to make some sacrifices for the good of the family. But don't panic them—they need to know that no matter what happens, you'll be there to care for them.
- Reassure. Children often blame themselves for their parents' conflicts. Let them know it's not their fault.
- Explain. If possible, tell your children how you resolved the issue. For example: "We disagreed on where to spend the holidays, but compromised by going to grandma's on Christmas Eve and to Aunt Mary's on Christmas Day."
- Have some fun, either as a family or in smaller groups. And make sure your kids see you and their mom are genuinely happy and in love.
Finally, if your fights become more frequent, more aggressive, or if either of you can't control or manage your temper, get some professional counseling.

"Purchased these shoes as a Christmas present for my daughter. The colors stand out and are more beautifu lthan in the picture. At first I thought the spin wheel on the bottom would bother her while walking, but the shoe was shaped perfectly so it isn't in the way at all! She wears them mostly everyday! Love this shoe!"

Very cute Skechers!
"I bought these shoes for my 4-year old daughter who loves sparkles and ballet moves and spinning around. I also like the darker color of these because they shouldn't show too much dirt and stay looking good for the long haul. True to the picture online, they are very sparkly and cute, and seem to have a good cushion to them. Also, the teachers at her preschool encourage the parents to have the kids wear shoes they can put on and off themselves, so the velcro closures fit the bill. She should grow into these and be wearing them in a few months - can't wait!"

Great shoes for your little dancer
"These shoes were a great fit for my daughter who often finds girls' shoes too narrow. They give her toes enough room without looking like a wide shoe. She loves the twirling piece on the bottom and doesn't seem to have any problems walking/running in the shoes even though the spinner is a little raised. She can sometimes fit in a size 1 in other shoes, but needed a 13.5 in these, so I'd say they run a tiny bit big."

Photo by Amber Lautigar Reichert. On Monday, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright addressed a packed Miller Center Forum. Earlier in the afternoon, she was generous with her time and met with more than 50 students from politics, history, and other classes taught by Miller Center faculty and from the Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. She was pleased to see such a multi-disciplinary gathering, and remarked on the importance of aspiring leaders to have such a wide and diverse background of study. Today, we bring you some highlights from her exchange with the students. Albright began by noting that we are living in a very complicated time in which there are more forces that are less and less controllable and don't lend themselves to the tools of statecraft that we possess. The tools of statecraft that we possess – aid, trade, sanctions, threat of force, force, etc. – work in relations between states. But now we are dealing with non-state actors and they are both difficult and bring different forms of war. In a book she prepared for the president in 2008, she argued that there are five big umbrella issues the U.S. must effectively deal with: fighting terrorism without creating more terrorists. She noted that the death of Osama bin Laden was important, but we have to address the root causes of terrorism, including poverty, alienation and the remnants of colonialism. the proliferation of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. addressing the growing gap between the rich and poor energy, environment and climate change, and restoring the good name of democracy. Today, she would add a sixth issue to that list – the global financial crisis. The use of drones presents a tough challenge. Albright posited that they are are effective, but the decision making around their use is cloudy and this presents problems. Another significant challenge the United States and world faces is cyber war. For example, can a cyber attack trigger NATO's Article V protection of collective defense? How do we retaliate in case of an attack? Should cyber attacks be included as a tool of statecraft? When asked her thoughts on the relationship between the United States and Pakistan, Albright responded that is a crucial relationship, even if it is a country that has everything that gives you an international migraine – nuclear weapons, poverty, terrorism, in a bad location. Albright has spent some time educating Members of Congress on why would should continue to give aid to the country when the people actively dislike us. She noted that people in the country don't see the U.S. as a true friend and a variety of past policies, like automatic sanctions, have hurt the relationship. However, she advised that we need to give a certain amount of assistance and more attention will need to be paid to the country. Development and democracy go together, she argued, but this can be difficult to sell on the Hill where there are many questions about whether aid should be used as a tool. Albright also addressed a question on how Congress and the President will battle with the use of force. She noted that the Constitution is written as an invitation to struggle. Congress will need to get organized if it is to reclaim some of its war-making powers. The question is whether there will be debates about substantive issues or procedural issues. The public mood is also an important factor and the public is very tired of war after Iraq and Afghanistan. She noted there was very little in President Obama's Inaugural Address about foreign policy and it will be interesting to see what he has to say in the State of the Union. Albright also noted that Obama is looking for a different paradigm for American foreign policy and the nation's role in the world. In response to a question regarding the future of women as leaders, Albright said the last election demonstrated a good trend towards the inclusion of women. The strategy has been to get women in the system and move them up the political ladder from local and state work. She cautioned that not all women think alike and we shouldn't expect to see a women's group that always votes the same way. We also need to see how many women will be named to Obama's cabinet and how many will be appointed to the deputy and under-secretary levels. Other countries already have women presidents, we are not ahead on promoting women as leaders. In a related question on women's empowerment globally, Albright argued that societies are more stable when women are economically and politically empowered. Secretary of State Clinton has made this issue a priority and has moved it exponentially. More women need to get elected and we need to persuade those in power now to ensure job security for women. At the same time, Albright noted that we should be careful about mirror imaging what women everywhere want. We need to get women politically and economically empowered in the way that they want to be. Another challenge that Albright addressed was the growing lack of faith in institutions, including Congress, some state governments, regional governments and the United Nations. It's a an issue because some problems need institutions. One of the greatest challenges the UN faces is that it isn't completely representative in the way it should be. When she was Ambassador to the UN, she spent a lot of time attempting to expand the Security Council, but there was always opposition to efforts. Another issue at the UN is what she termed the "dictatorship of the alphabet," that is the situation in which countries like Libya under Qhadafi heading the human right council. And finally, there must be a way to increase the participation of important non-state actors, such as multinational corporations and non-governmental organizations. In a closing question, Albright was asked what she wished she would have known. She said everyone needs to understand politics because it helps illuminate how the system functions. But, studying politics academically is not enough. In practice, she has come to understand much better the continuum from domestic to foreign policy, which is often overlooked. Albright also advised gaining better understanding of the role of various groups in society, which she said have to be taken into consideration because of our democratic system. Politics are also dynamic and things change. We need to respect other people's views and listen more. Albright concluded, "Humility is important."

Anyone else excited for this film? I've been waiting for this movie to come out since it was announced 5+ years ago in Spielbergian fan sites that he was taking the book "Team of rivals" and making it into a film. Liam Neeson was originally contracted to be Lincoln, but for reasons I don't think were ever made known to the public he backed out - in fact the entire original cast, save for Sally Field (Mary Todd Lincoln), was recast and here finally we are!
It looks like it's going to be really good. Still not sure how I feel about Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln - but that's just based on the previews. Gotta wait and see the whole thing before I have a full opinion!
So far neither theatre here has gotten the go ahead from the distributers to show the film, though, so I might be out of luck till it's on DVD... but it's Spielberg, how could they not show it?!

Over the years, Au Revoir Simone and Aeroplane have been a formidable tag team, whether it's Aeroplane giving the remix treatment to the band or the girls lending their vocals to an Aeroplane original. Their most notable collaboration was the classic rework of "Paris" by Friendly Fires. This time around we have Aeroplane contributing a remix (with additional production & mixing by Martin Dubka) for Erika Spring, a solo project of Au Revoir Simone member Erika Forster. The remix is for the tune "Happy At Your Gate" and the result is another classic. The formula of deep electrodisco plus sultry, ethereal vocals is a winning combination…just like Vito + Erika.

Some people have compared the war in Iraq to the Vietnam war. I think the two wars are completely different, however there are some similarities. Now, as then, many good men and women are heroically answering the call to serve our country. Every day these brave soldiers of the past and present performed or perform deeds that most of us will not be asked of in our lifetimes. Unfortunately there are other similarities as well.
Now as then, politicians are trying to exploit this war's military and civilian losses. Congressman Murtha, a favorite of the Democratic Party, worries about "a slow withdrawal which makes it look like there's a victory." Murtha and many other emocrat politicians, who originally supported war in Iraq, now call for a rapid redeployment. He has publicly called the army broken. If this was true, and it isn't, he should work to correct the problem, not alert our enemy to our weakness.
In our country we are allowed to voice our opinions. We can support or oppose any policy. This support or opposition can be shown in the form of elections. The time to oppose war is before the killing starts. War is a serious business and once it begins we should unify in our support.
Like the Vietnam war the war in Iraq is a noble cause. Regrettably our country's leadership and some of the citizens at home let the people down who fought the Vietnam War. This time our leadership has not let the military down and we have a duty as citizens not to commit the sins of our past. We must be resolute in our support. We must not deny or delay the endorsement and gratitude that our brave military deserves.

Skip to comments.Howard attacks left intelligentsia
Posted on 10/03/2006 6:51:52 PM PDT by bnelson44
PRIME Minister John Howard has launched a scathing attack on Australia's left-wing intelligentsia, questioning its loyalty to the nation over the past decades.
In a speech delivered last night for the 50th anniversary of the conservative magazine Quadrant, Mr Howard said the left had a history of denigrating the nation and was now doing the same with the war in Iraq, describing Islamic terrorism as the new tyranny.
He said Australian universities were still breeding leftists and described pro-communists of decades past as ideological barrackers for regimes of oppression opposed to Australia and its interests, Fairfax reports today.
Mr Howard said the left was wrong in its view that the Cold War was an equal struggle between the ideologies of the United States and the Soviet Union.
It became the height of intellectual sophistication to believe that people in the West were no less oppressed than people under the yoke of communist dictatorship, Mr Howard said in his speech.
Mr Howard praised Quadrant for its record of countering stultifying orthodoxies and dangerous utopias that have, at times, gripped the Western intelligentsia.
(Excerpt) Read more at theaustralian.news.com.au ...
Howard continues to be a badly needed breath of fresh air.
Hear, hear!
Man, I dig this dude!
I wish I could vote for John Howard, instead of John Warner.
mr howard, please immigrate to the usa and run for president
Every time I rerad something about Howard, I like and respect him more! The West needs more leaders like him!
Where is our John Howard?
Hiding out somewhere because it's too scary out there....
Best we can do is (1) hope, and (2) thank God there is at least one Howard out there, somewhere, not here, but somewhere...
Spot on!
btw...for those not Australian...when you barrack for something it means cheering on like a sports team
Ok great, now I've got a place to move to when US society falls apart.
I think we have found our Republican 2008 candidate.
It would be a step up in countries.
He would plow through the garbage in Washington like a bulldozer through butter.
And he would get a better house.
Can we make the suggestion?
Well, I guess we're barracking for Howard.
It's refreshing to hear a conservative politician speak out honestly.
Leftists in this country don't hesitate to attack their enemies, but somehow or other Republicans just don't seem to think it's polite.
"He said Australian universities were still breeding leftists and described pro-communists of decades past as ideological barrackers for regimes of oppression opposed to Australia and its interests, Fairfax reports today."
Think an American leader would have the stones to say this? Not likely.
Outstanding. Truly wonderful.
If only our president could make ONE speech like this.
Thanks for posting. Hooray John Howard!
Wow. Send that man a ticket to the U. S. of A.
We were aware of the subversive strategy in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, but by the 1960s gave up caring and now the infiltration is complete.
Now that liberal intellectuals ARE the establishment, they don't want us to question authority anymore.
The proper spelling is "antilligentsia".
Good speech.
<< btw...for those not Australian...when you barrack for something it means cheering on like a sports team >>
Just as when an Aussie roots for the same team she likely has trouble walking for about a week.
Warts, economics illiteracy, gun-grabbing and all, I love John Howard.
And thank God for him!
A better house????
The Prime Minister's Sydney residence is a homestead overlooking Sydney Harbour!
I've been to the White House and, with due respect, I'd take Kirribilli House any day.
I'd take Kirribilli House any day.
Yeah, but it is in SIDNEY.
Right on! bump.
Wish we had more/some like him, here.
Ever been to Sydney? It has been almost 20 years, but from what I can tell, from our 10 day visit that my wife won on a game show, Sydney ROCKS! Just a great town.
I wish we someone like John Howard here--not afraid to say things that would upset the 'politically correct' crowd.
Friends who lived there 25 years ago who went back recently said that it is much different now.

Happy hour is at the Londoner Dallas, in the heart of the State-Thomas neighborhood in uptown. I'll arrive bespectacled in a monocle riding a unicycle. How will you get there?
If you ever come across someone from this City, expect to hit the pub and talk politics, where you'll order a guiness and they'll grab a bud heavy and proceed to discuss who they hate more than anybody you possibly could with an exquisite singularity of vision.
As they rant, your American conscious awareness drifts from the topic at hand to beverage of choice where you are struck by the irony, apparently indicative of their strong desire to americanize.
However, like any good copycat, they sought to mimic only what we did best:
- gutting core of their City for cars by way of parking garages;
- mindless if not potentially fraudulent commercial lending;
- and a rampant building spree marked by outward and upward growth completely independent of any demand.
We're selling the view. Just look at it.
Of course, that view is supplied by buildings shockingly disconnected from the scale of the rest of the City. While a certain measure of real estate development is dependent upon a "visionary" intuition, it also needs to be tempered by some restraint occasionally. Or just reality. That works as well.

Police say suspects released gas into house, appeared to detonate it with a microwave.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Prosecutors charged three people with felony murder charges Friday in the house explosion that killed two people and damaged more than 80 nearby homes in November.
Monserrate Shirley, whose Southside home exploded, killing two of her neighbors, was charged, along with her boyfriend, Mark Leonard and his brother, Robert Leonard. They were taken into custody early Friday, prosecutors announced.
Authorities say they released gas into the house and appeared to detonate it with a microwave oven. They had a failed attempted to blow up the house a week before the explosion.
STORY: Demolition of blast-damaged homes in Richmond Hill continues
Shirley had recently increased the insurance coverage on her house to $300,000, authorities said.
Police earlier had said they believed the explosion was caused by natural gas, detonated with a remote device.
Shirley's attorney, Randall Cable, didn't return messages left on his office and his cellphone.
Shirley's home and three others were cordoned off after the blast. Officials called the area a crime scene. The blast killed John "Dion" Longworth, 34, and his wife, Jennifer, 36. He was an audio engineer; she was a schoolteacher.
The explosion and subsequent fires damaged more than 80 homes, demolishing five. Prosecutors called it a "thoroughly senseless act."
Shirley, a 47-year-old nurse, told the Indianapolis Star following the Nov. 10 explosion that she and Mark Leonard were at a Lawrenceburg casino on the night their home blew up.
"Everybody's pointing a finger at me like I did something wrong," she told reporters last month during an interview at Cable's office. "I mean, I'm totally devastated like my neighbors are."
But the circumstances surrounding the blast had prosecutors focused on Shirley and the Leonards.
Shirley's daughter, who also lives in the home, was visiting a friend the night of the explosion and their cat had been boarded. The couple also had been in debt and struggling financially.
Last month, investigators announced the case was considered a criminal investigation. Investigators didn't identify a suspect, but at least 20 search warrants had been served. Robert Leonard's home was one of those searched.
Police also took a white van taken into custody after the explosion. The van belonged to Mark Leonard, who is the caretaker at a shuttered Southwestside hotel and convention center.
Some neighbors told police they had seen a white van in the neighborhood and in front of Shirley's house in previous weeks. They said it was a windowless work van, about 15 years old.
After the case was declared a homicide, Cable released a statement saying his clients had requested him to issue this statement "and then ask that they be left alone."
Authorities said the Leonard brothers had done research asking a store clerk about different types of gas. Mark Leonard had changed the thermostat from digital to a slide switch thermostat so that it would ignite a spark, they said.
"Monserrate Shirley and Mark Leonard watched in bewilderment the news report that the authorities are now treating the investigation as a criminal investigation as well as a causation search," the statement read. "The two remain horrified at the tragic events, destruction and loss of lives that occurred and have been cooperating with the authorities since their return to Indianapolis over the weekend."
"They have cooperated fully with various investigators and agencies on multiple occasions and have answered each and every question, including speculation as to whether they may have been targeted by anyone."
In 2007,Shirley and her then-husband, John Shirley, filed jointly for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Court records show they had liabilities of nearly $410,000 and assets of about $316,000.
Among their liabilities were two mortgages on the Fieldfare Way house, on which they owed $225,794. The house's value was listed as $230,000, according to court records.
The house was listed for $149,900 in late 2011 as a possible short sale, but it was pulled off the market in March at the request of the owner, according to real estate listings. The house had a gas furnace and a wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter, according to descriptions.
The couple divorced in February 2011. According to divorce records, Monserrate Shirley, an intensive care nurse, assumed full responsibility for paying the home's mortgage. John Shirley is required to pay $1,000 a month in child support.
Cable said that as far as he knows, Monserrate Shirley is current on her mortgage payments.
Shirley's bankruptcy attorney, John Steinkamp, told The Star last month that the couple lost bankruptcy protection when they prematurely stopped making payments to the trustee.
The case was charged by the prosecutor's office directly, without a grand jury.
There is still an ongoing investigation to see if any other individuals were involved.

Jason Gregor
August 21 2013 12:11PM
Last November, Brandon Davidson received news that no young man wants to hear. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer. The former Regina Pat, and 2010 sixth round pick of the Oilers was devastated, but he didn't let it defeat him. Nine months later Davidson is feeling great, and I spoke with him about his ordeal, and how it has changed him.
Davidson joined Brownlee and I on my radio show yesterday to talk about the past nine months, and his plans for the future.
Jason Gregor: Quickly take us through when you first found out you had testicular cancer; and what was your reaction?
Brandon Davidson: It was tough to take at the time and very emotional and kind of an unsettling feeling going into the whole process. I was diagnosed on October 30th and shortly after November 1st we went right on the operation table and we had to remove the testicle. From there on out I basically had to recover and to do about a month and a half of chemo therapy, and that went very well.
Basically I'm all good now. It took a long time to get the strength and the energy back; it really takes it out of you. But I was happy to come back and play a little hockey at the end of the season.
Gregor: How did you find out you had testicular cancer?
Davidson: I wasn't feeling the greatest, but we just did a regular checkup with the team that we do at the beginning of the season. We found a lump and that's how it was discovered and how it was dealt with, basically after that we went to the doctor's and got it all checked out.
Robin Brownlee: It was really remarkable how quickly you did come back. Is this thing in the rearview mirror for you now, or are there still checkups?
Davidson: Basically it is in the rearview mirror now. There is a checkup that we do every three months, but for the most part it's just a standard checkup to make sure that nothing does come back. It's fairly standard that most cancer and most testicular cancer survivors have to go through. For right now, I'm as healthy as an ox and I couldn't be happier with the Oilers organization and the medical team that helped me get through that.
Gregor: You talked about your strength and that you are healthy as an ox now, but when you returned for games late last season, where is your strength then as compared to now?
Davidson: Then I was sitting at about 65, 70%. I didn't feel the greatest, but I did want to play and I did want to make an impact, especially it being my first year as a pro hockey player. It was a battle to just get back on the ice and then playoffs are a whole other level. It just was engrained on my mind that I needed a big playoff performance. I do want to be at the next level, the NHL, and I knew that the playoffs were very big for me so I pushed my body to the max, let alone it only being at 75, 70% sort of thing. Right now I feel 100%. I had a great summer in the gym and on the ice too. I believe it's definitely time for me to take it to the next level now.
Brownlee: Let me ask you about a couple of things; I remember seeing a picture of some and your OKC teammates, they did the head shave thing, the way that the team and the organization rallied around you and also one specific player, Taylor Fedun. There had to be some uncertain times for you just as there were for him. He's been through this with that badly broken leg, how important was the support that you received from around you?
Davidson: It was extremely important. It was the only thing that kept my mind busy and away from the cancer stuff. It was very huge just having everything at my disposal, from the Edmonton Oilers taking care of the medical part of things and getting me back to where I am today, and keeping my spirits up.
Taylor Fedun, he's my roommate, he's my brother, he's my best friend, and he's a good guy. He helped me through everything. He made things fun for me. He got things off of the top of my head, and had me thinking fun. It was a good effort from all of the guys, but just that little extra effort from him being around me 24-7 and really seeing the struggles that I had to go through. I couldn't have done it without him, he's a great man and my hat goes off to him.
Gregor: What did you learn about yourself going through testicular cancer?
Davidson: I really learned how far you can push the body and you can push the limits on things. There was a lot of down time and reflecting on stuff, but I always knew that I was going to get through this and that it was very curable and that when I come back that my new outlook on life was that everything would have meaning. And everything that I do now, even on the ice or with my family, everything has meaning now and there is a purpose to all of it. I put that little extra in all that I do, and I'm putting that little extra into hockey just trying to get to that next level.
Brownlee: You're a young man, 22 years old, training camp approaches, you say that you're healthy, strong as an ox. What's next for Brandon Davidson?
Davidson: You know what; I'm very excited for camp. We go to the rookie Penticton camp soon and that's a lot of fun and that's great. I can't wait to be there for that but I'm looking forward to main camp. I'm looking to make a great impression, to keep progressing and moving forward in my development and if my development has pushed me far enough to be on the Oilers then that's where I want to be. If it hasn't I want to be getting better down in OKC and just keep improving.
Gregor: What do you feel are your areas of strength, what do are your areas you need to improve the most on?
Davidson: My areas of strength are my defensive play, my ability to move pucks whether that be in the D zone or the neutral zone. The few things that I need to work on are just moving my feet and getting my pivots a little better. I feel I've come a long way though, and that they're right there with other players, but you've always got to be that much better.
Brownlee: When you look at this roster of players there is some depth on the blueline. Do you just put that out of your mind and do what you do, or do you have to be aware of who's going to camp?
Davidson: You know what, I always tell myself before even day one that it doesn't matter who's there. It's up to me to decide how far I'm going to go and how far I'm going to push myself. I don't care what the next guy is doing and I don't really look upon that as a marker, other than these guys are going to be my teammates. I want to be better for them so I'm going to push myself as hard as they would want to be pushed. In the long run the best man is going to come out on top, but these are my teammates and these are people that I want to be a leader among one day and look towards improving.
Gregor: Battling, and then beating cancer, taught you have how far you can push your body. Has that helped you in the gym, not stating that you didn't work hard before, but do you feel that you had more to give before and then battling and beating cancer helped to recognize that?
Davidson: To be honest with you I don't know if that's what ignited it, but that's the pivoting point and that's where I found that extra gear, and realized there was another level for me, and even more levels to go to. Just going through that whole experience and really taking a new outlook on life made me grab that whole other gear and made me push myself even harder. It was a big summer for me, especially trying to get my health back to 100% and I feel that it's there now. I felt like I've improved a lot and I have a lot to show.
Brownlee: What's your routine like now in terms of when do you get back on the ice, and are you bigger and stronger than you were last year?
Davidson: I'm 210 lbs, so I put on a few pounds this summer. 210 pounds is a good weight for me, but basically I have a trainer here in town and I work with guys like Devin Setoguchi, Chris Versteeg, Rob Klinkhammer, and numerous KHL and European players. We push each other very hard at our gym and we rent the ice. We don't do the Perry Pearn thing, but we have a guy named Mike Dyck who comes out and runs the ices for us and keep us in top shape. Also we've gone to Edmonton a few times and we work on things with Steve Serdachny (Oilers skill and skating coach). That's basically how I get ready.
After speaking with Davidson it is impossible not to be pulling for the young man. Just listening to him talk was inspiring and motivating. He's a guy who likely needs a few years of seasoning in the AHL, but after battling and defeating cancer, he's shown he's resilient, and I wouldn't rule him out a guy who will battle for a potential 3rd pairing spot in the future.
I wish him all the best.
All the props in the world to this young man! I hope he continues to improve and gets a cup of coffee in the NHL soon.
August 21 2013, 12:33PM
Dude sounds tough as nails.
This is the type of compete the oilers need in the lineup. (always striving for the next level) He's way ahead of the curve, hope he continues.
As always Gregor, excellent interview. You always think of good topics, and this was one of the best. I didn't know much of Davidson before this, but he sounds like a great young man. I wish him all the best. Thanks for the read.
August 21 2013, 01:07PM
Davidson > cancer
I'm very excited to see how he does in Penticton.
With all the negative stories that get so much attention about professional athletes lately, it is great to hear a story like this. It is hard not to root for a guy like Davidson (and also Fedun!)
August 21 2013, 12:48PM
Good for him!
Let's hope his story gets even better.
August 21 2013, 01:47PM
Congratulations to young Davidson. Seems like a humble and hard working man. I wouldnt want to bet against this kid.
August 21 2013, 02:00PM
Gregor, you always remind us about what's really important in life. Hockey is fun, and arguing about 3rd line centres or advanced stats is a great distraction, but life is about our relationships and making the most of our time between birth and death.
August 21 2013, 02:15PM
Davidson and Fedun are very admirable young men.
This is a very interesting year for the Oiler organization regarding their defense prospects. In a couple of years we could be dealing from strength that used to be a weakness. Bodes well for future trading options. Shutup DSF.
August 21 2013, 01:57PM
What can you say? The kid has faced something NOBODY wants to take on and has come out the other side with great perspective, work ethic and wisdom beyond his years.
Let's hope things fall into place for him hockey wise, too.
August 21 2013, 04:29PM
Big f---ing props to this young man! Now that's a warrior...
August 21 2013, 05:06PM
Way to go Brandon! Proud of you man. I had Lymphoma (non-hotchkins) cancer when I was 14 and now I'm 39 and still kickin! It's good to hear about other people kickin Cancer ass!
August 21 2013, 11:30PM
In the words of LT, this is one guy you cheer like hell for.
Kudos to this young man! Gotta love it. It takes all the courage in the world to face the harshness of reality and decide to tackle it. Kind of lets the rest of us computer-commandos take notice of where the bear actually does his business. I hope he goes further than his own expectations and beyond his nay-sayers.
August 21 2013, 05:41PM
His battle may not be over yet. He may very likely be okay for 5 or 10 yrs. Who knows what has metastasized in his bloodstream. He may live along fruitful life with cancer/under control, but it may be awfully premature to say he's beaten cancer.
Best wishes to Brandon Davidson, hope he gets all his energy back, and more. With Craig MacTavish in his corner/backing him, he'll get a real shot at making this club.
How can you not root for this guy to force his way into the lineup somehow? It would be a huge shock if it was this year, so I don't expect that, but I'm pulling for him and hope that in a few years he could be a household name.
Great attitude too, and sounds like a leader. Might be one of the hidden gems that isn't getting the hype he will likely deserve. He has good size and put up some great numbers in Regina. I don't put a lot of stock in +/-, but it's good to see him on the right end of that too.
His health scare seems to be in rear view mirror. That is great for him, allowing him to persue his dream of being an NHLer.
"It was very huge just having everything at my disposal, from the Edmonton Oilers taking care of the medical part of things and getting me back to where I am today, and keeping my spirits up."
Very fortunate to have a pro sport organization supporting him like he suggests......a very rare thing, ...take advantage of the help.
August 21 2013, 07:41PM
I just trashed a comment from November 17, 2007. Didn't read the comment but satisfying none the less.
August 22 2013, 07:31AM
Maybe it's just me, but damn Gregor you were missed while gone on your trip. Some damn fine radio that has lead to some damn fine write ups.
August 22 2013, 09:49AM
Hope things continue to work out, he and Fedun are on the list of people you would like to see play in the NHL one day. Great attitude, great work ethic and great role models for kids.
2015 - 2016 D lineup?
Klefbom Schultz Marincin Nurse Gernat Musil Fedun Davidson
I like it.
ps Petry was moved in 2014-2015 as a deadline trade that brought in a player that would help push for the playoffs
Smid was traded the following summer after a first round exit and spending much of the year on the IR (2nd round pick)
oops now I will get trashed but will assume it is not for the first comment, cause that would be rude.

Awesome shoes
"I really love Keens, and I buy them for the whole family. I do order up a size, though, because length run short. Width is fine, however. Keen sandals are sturdy, cool, and made for all types of outdoor activities. An added benefit is that you can dress them up, relatively speaking--they look cute with a jean skirt or skort if going to a casual summer event."

Blending fit, feel, and fast in a lightweight racing flat with a bit of pronation support, the ASICS Gel DS Racer 9 offers moderate cushioning and a semi-firm ride.
The ASICS DS Racer 9 continues its tradition as a supportive and responsive racing flat. It has a modest amount of support to correct overpronation, and still retains the light, race-day feel that runners love. The DS Racer 9 now has a soft, close fitting upper that wraps comfortably around the foot, making it ideal for longer races and marathons.
Model Number:
Weight: 7.9 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (24mm), Forefoot (14mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The Gel-DS Racer 9 is a minimum feature, minimum support shoe designed for speedwork and racing.
Comments: To be honest, I bought these because of the low price was being offered after a 50% discount, however, for my surprise the shoes are just great. I am 6' tall and 205 pounds an the shoe is able to protect by foots nicely. Is a very fresh and light shoe and I have made my best times on 5k and 10k using these. This shoe has worked perfectly for me on 5k and 10k, but wont try half marathons. I prefer to go with my Spira Scorpius for longer distances. An advice is to order the DS 8 a half size bigger.
From: Luis Ramos, Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, USA
Comments: I bought these from Running Warehouse with the mind of using them mainly for racing and speed training. However, after my first run I am convinced that these shoes can be used for all kinds of training, walking, and casual purposes. These shoes are one of the best shoes Asics has ever made. Although they are advertised, marketed, and designed to be minimalist racing flats, they also have the cushioning that feels like more advanced shoes like the GT-2000. The support on these shoes are also surprisingly sufficient. If your feet pronate without the needs to wear motion control shoes, these may be adequate for your needs, without having to wear clunkers like the Kayanos. The most amazing thing about these shoes isn't the lack of compromise between it's weight-support-cushioning ratio. Rather, the most amazing attribute of these shoes is how responsive they are. The trusstic system makes these shoes bounce back on each stride, making them feel super quick without over exerting your precious energy. The DUO Density foam will also allow these shoes to last a lot longer than many supportive shoes without this feature. I have minimal supportive shoes that had its midsoles compress prematurely due to slight pronation during the end of my long distance runs. What I find conflicting between my personal experience and online reviews is that these shoes are not as narrow as what I read online. However, use the shoe fitr function on this site to have an idea of what size you should purchase. I have yet to use my trusty insoles in the DS Racer 9, but test fitting my insoles make these shoes even more comfortable and better fitting. Out of the box, these shoes are already amazing if you typically don't use insoles. In conclusion, these shoes are greatly underpriced for what you get.
From: Alex, Blaine, WA, USA
Comments: The best update to the DS Racer series since the ruby red DSR VII. These shoes are very light weight, offer a well cushioned and supportive ride (due to the structured upper and firm heel counter). The DS Racer 9 is the jack knife of running shoes and is versatile enough to tackle any race up to a Half Marathon. I set PRs in every race this year including a 16:19 5k and a 1:15 HM while racing in this flashy kicks. The fit in the toe box is tighter and I suggest using the ShoeFitr to dial in the correct size. This is THE racing flat for runners/triathletes training in traditional, supportive trainers (ASICS 2000 series/ Brooks GTS) who want to experience speed!
From: Nick, Philadelphia, PA, USA
Comments: Go half size to one size up. Very tight toe box compared to the noosa tri 7's.
From: Oz, Fort Worth, TX, USA
Comments: This racing flat is a fast one. Certain flats just feel fast. I had the Gel Bandito, and this is a much better shoe. The ride in the DS 9 is similar to the Saucony Fastwitch 4 (btw the 4 is competely different than the Fastwitch 5), but the DS 9 is more durable. As far as sizing, I wear a size 12 except for some Nike's like the Structure Triax 11 through 14 (sz. 12.5) I have a slender heel and a wider forefoot, C/D width. I ordered a 12 in DS Racer, and they are the good snug that a flat should be. These are tight in the heels. My only word of caution is that I don't think these would work for me in anything over a 10k. The forefoot doesn't provide enough protection for me. I am 6'3", 185#, body fat 8-10%(6:15 pace 5k, 6:45 pace Half). For the longer races, I use the Brooks ST Racer 5. They don't feel as fast, but they have a little more cushioning in the forefoot and more support overall. The open forefoot does retain small rocks, seeds, etc. I would recommend the DS Racer 5 for 5k and 10k races. Lighter runners may be able to runner Half and Full marathons in these.
From: Vence, Lexington, KY, USA
Comments: This shoe was a terrific purchase for me. I'm a 140lbs Masters runner, 40+ miles/wk and ~6:30/mi half marathon pace. The DS Racer 9 provides excellent feel of the road without beating me up. I use the shoe as a racing flat. Since I wear very rigid orthotics I have been hesitant to buy any kind of 'racing' shoe in the past. My previous racing shoe was the Mizuno Wave Elixer 5. They always felt klunky. The light feel of the Racer seems to make a real performance difference. I should have switched to the DS Racer sooner. I have a thin frame and feet. Others have complained about a cramped toe box in the DS Racer 9, but it is perfect for me even with the orthotics. My normal street shoe size is 10, and 10.5 for running shoes. Based on other comments I ordered an 11 in the DS Racer 9, and that was the right choice.
From: Mike, Charleston, WV, USA
Comments: I switched to the DS Racer 9 for a marathon after several pairs of DS Trainers, prior to significant changes in the latter. I tried several different racing shoes (Saucony Fastwitch, Brook Racer ST) and chose the DS Racer for the firmer sole, relatively more support, and great power that I got in each turnover. I'm on the larger side for racing shoes (6'3", 175 lbs), but the DS Racer was firm enough for me. I ran a PR and my feet and joints felt better than I recall with other shoes. As with others, I found the DS Racers to be snug throughout, particularly in the toes, and I felt that the upper lace holes could be placed better.
From: Zach, Atlanta, GA, USA
Comments: I attempted running in 0-6mm drop shoes for about a year before I finally gave in and found these. I had dealt with achilles tendonitis, soleus pain, and medial shin splints before. I must say that these shoes are near perfect for someone needing lightweight support. They feel fabulous on a run, just enough support to allow the calves to relax and move the heavy lifting of shock absorption and power generation to the hips where it belongs. The forefoot is soft, flexible, and relatively thin. This flexibility allows natural pronation when landing midfoot instead of the loud slapping of a stiffer sole. The softness allows you to feel some texture under the forefoot. Rocks, branches, cracks in the sidewalk, are not at all painful, but not numbed down to no longer exist either. The 10mm heel is just low enough to allow for a midfoot strike, but is well cushioned for a heel strike when going down hills. If you don't like the drainage holes underneath, they can be easily plugged with a small dab of epoxy or rubber cement. They are recessed enough so that such an operation would have no effect on the underfoot feel.
From: Sam, Durham, NC, USA
Comments: Not sure if its my training or these shoes or both but I was running like a cheetah with them
on. LIght with enough support, these shoes have made a huge impact on my PR. I ran my fastest triathlon sprint, olympic, and half ironman this year. Still wondering if I should try a full marathon or stick to my extra support asics kayano. I hope next year's model will be just as great with more colors to choose from.
From: Corey, Sunnyvale, CA, USA
Comments: Holy Cow! The second I put these awesome shoes on, I knew right off the bat I was going to be super fast or at least improve on previous run. Sure enough on race day, of course with my regular work outs, these shoes out perform and exceeded my expectations. I was jamming like a cheetah. I own several pairs of stability shoes for difference purpose. On race day this is my go to shoes. I highly recommend but wish there was more color to choose from.
From: Corey, Sunnyvale, CA, USA
Comments: The Gel DS Racer 9 is so snug that I wear a full size up in this shoes, incredible! I normally
wear a size 9 and I had to buy a size 10.
From: Joe, USA
Comments: Nice shoe, for me the DS 8 was too loose in the forefoot. I have run a 6 miler and a 20 miler in them. The DS 9 provides plenty of cushion for the long run and just enough support when you need it towards the end of the long run. Heel to toe transition is smooth as silk.
From: Don, WI, USA
Comments: I would say the short runs more short than tight in the forefoot but either way I had to go up a half size which I have not had to in asics in 20 years of running in them. The shape/fit of the shoe (even with the short fit) seems to mimic that of the ds trainer X, which was the best shoe ever. Will buy it again a bigger size and then review the performance.
From: Jane, Boston, MA, USA
Comments: These shoes are narrow in the forefoot. Gone is the comfortable fit of the DS Racer 8. My toes feel like they are being shoved into pointed shoes. Very unfortunate because they do look nice and feel like they have more support in the heel.
From: James, Phoenix, AZ, USA

(Another possible symptom: with just the board plugged in on its own, the TX light is now staying lit solidly except for when trying to load something, which is a bit weird. In normal operation of my setup I expect TX to flicker in response to inputs on A0-A7, and otherwise to remain off. Grounding the analog inputs makes TX go off. So there's some kind of unwanted interaction happening in there somewhere. *Sigh*)
Same problem, here. Went to a friend's place and successfully demoed the Uno and then tried the Mega. Nothing. The L13 led flashed slowly around once a second but never saw the TX or RX lights flash. Tried repeatedly and double checked the COM port.We purchased the Mega R3 from RS components for $60 recently and it appears genuine with the white screen printing on the back.
Problem with Mega2560 is huge. There are very many people with the same problem. Is there any official opinion yet? I'd really like to use my Mega2560 normally.

I agree with Dragonflame, even though I wouldn't be so aggressive (just kidding ), but I think there is a reason for the incredibly fast power-up of Naruto compared to Rufy's. The way the world in OP is made is different from Naruto's world, in Op the more you go on in the grand line the stronger opponents you fight, because only the strongest are able to go through the risks in the grand line, in Naruto it's about countries (fire country, wind, rock etc..), so you could end up fighting a strong opponent at the beginning and at the end fight a weaker opponent, because it's not like Op. This is why Kishi had to make Naruto so powerful in such few chapters and Oda can make Rufy grow stronger gradually. I didn't say I support Kishimoto, in fact I prefer Oda, but I don't think he is a person who doesn't know how to draw a manga
Anyway, I think Kubo has the best art and Oda has the best plot and best characters together with Kishimoto (even though I don't like the last ones in OP)
I hope the things I wrote are easy to understand (and of course without any mistakes )

"I bought these for working out. They don't have a lot of arch support or cushion, but I mostly work machines and the elliptical and like having the lighter shoe."
