With watershed citizens' intensifying interest in corn production and ethanol markets, with one corn ethanol production plant in the permitting process just outside the watershed boundary in Janesville, MN, and another proposed in Bridgewater Township of Rice County, CRWP staff, board, and members have begun informing themselves about water and natural resource topics related to the production of biofuels. The topics are many, varied, and interconnected. The production of biofuels raises all the questions related to any type of energy production, from site development for a production plant, to source material procurement, to emission and sequestration of greenhouse gases.
Inspiring words from 'Hotel Rwanda' heroSubmitted by Lauren Fischer on Thu, 03/01/2007 - 8:43pm
As I entered the newly renovated Boe Chapel on Tuesday evening, I was amazed at the number of people already in their seats. Although I had arrived twenty minutes early, every seat and pew was filled. Luckily I found a place to squeeze in with some friends.
Anticipation filled the chapel while everyone wondered, 'where is this extraordinary hero?' A young PAC (Political Awareness Committee) member took to the microphone and finally introduced the man half of Northfield was waiting to see.
Paul Rusesabagina confidently walked across the pulpit, while sporting a tan suit and yellow tie he took his place behind the altar. There he waited for the applause to fade and started his speech, "Hotel Rwanda: A lesson yet to be learned."

Hotel Rwanda hero to speak at St. Olaf TuesdaySubmitted by Lauren Fischer on Mon, 02/26/2007 - 12:56pm
Paul Rusesabagina, the Rwandan hotel manager who sheltered more than 1,260 Tutsis and moderate Hutus from being slaughtered by Interahamwe militia in 1994, will speak at St. Olaf College Tuesday, Feb. 27, at 7 p.m. in Boe Memorial Chapel. The event is free and open to the public.
Rusesabagina, who is of Hutu and Tutsi heritage, was the acting manager of the Hotel des Mille Collines when the genocidal conflict erupted in his country. It was through a combination of diplomacy, flattery and deception that he was able to hold out with the refugees for 76 days. In his speech, "Hotel Rwanda: A Lesson Yet to Be Learned," he will tell his personal story about what happened 13 years ago.

Snow fizzled but Winter Stomp rocked the houseSubmitted by Doug Bratland on Sat, 02/24/2007 - 2:52pm
My wife and I were two of the hundreds of dancers who kicked up our heels at last night's fantastic Winter Stomp at the Northfield Armory. Susie Nakasian sent us a great report on the evening, along with a link to a great set of photos from the event (just click on the image to see them all), taken by Mark Heiman.
Here are Susie's notes from the evening:
"It was a lot of fun! ... more than even I expected (and I have always had a confident sense of the potential "fit" of this particular tradition for Northfield).
The attempt at a count (before the dance started moving) was 240 people but those who tended the door said that another 35 or so came in after that! We really would have had a hard time squeezing another dancer onto the Armory dance floor..
The two things that people commented on (besides the exceptionally good musicians - they really are superb) were: 1. the mix of people from Northfield—people from St. Olaf, Carleton, and Northfield townsfolk, and the interesting cross-section among the latter; and, 2. the successful inter-generational mix (and the fun that the little kids were having watching and mimicking and simply gawking at the spectacle of the dance in that beautiful wide-eyed way that kids take in the world).

The most hilariously tragic breakup stories the Internet has ever seen (except for yours).
Nobody likes getting dumped. It's humiliating and sickening to be rejected by the one person who you thought wasn't going to reject you. But life goes on, and there are surprising benefits. For one thing, your breakup might become a horrifying, weird, or sad story that you can tell on Reddit. These people traded romantic bliss for viral fame and never looked back:
1. Poor BartokTheBat realized that food and relationships are both seemingly wonderful things that are actually loaded with poison.
One guy broke up with me after he'd been cheating on me for 6 months. He took me to a restaurant to try and "mend" the relationship. I was hospitalised with food poisoning a day later. The day after that I woke up at 6am - still in this hospital - to a text that said "I just don't want to be your boyfriend." He then called himself my best friend and phoned me at 6pm that night to see how I was "coping" with the break up. Asshole.
2. As this story from lipstick_dipstick proves, camping just isn't romantic.
Broke up with a guy after a few weeks. He decided to pitch a tent in my backyard until i took him back. Said he was gonna stay there until I loved him again. Ya, nope. That lasted half an hour. Step dad chased him off the property so fast.

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Pulaski County; the Hon.
RICHARD E. RICHMAN and the Hon. DOROTHY W. SPOMER, Judges,
This is an appeal by the plaintiff, Deweese Scruggs, from an order entered by the circuit court of Pulaski County denying certain relief, requested by her petition for rehearing, from a divorce decree awarded plaintiff, which provided for child support and lump-sum alimony.
On December 1, 1971, the plaintiff filed a complaint against the defendant, James Scruggs, praying for: (1) a divorce from the defendant, (2) custody of the minor children "and reasonable child support for said minor children," (3) alimony, (4) defendant to pay plaintiff's attorney fees and court costs, and (5) a property settlement to be made. Defendant, in response thereto, filed an answer and a counterclaim on March 17, 1972. On April 4, 1972, plaintiff filed an answer to defendant's counterclaim and an amended complaint. The prayer contained in plaintiff's amended complaint reiterated the provisions embraced in the prayer of plaintiff's original complaint with the exception of provision (5), which was amended to read: "That a property settlement be made and the Plaintiff be awarded one-half of the real estate and other property accumulated by the parties." In neither plaintiff's complaint nor in her amended complaint did she assert any special equities or contributions in support of her request for a property settlement.
On September 26, 1972, the cause was called for trial and on October 19, 1972, a "decree" was entered by the trial court. This decree ordered, among other things, that the marriage be dissolved, and
"That the plaintiff herein desires no installment alimony payments and expressly herein refuses and relinquishes right to claim same, now and forever, but defendant will pay plaintiff as alimony in gross the sum of $10,000 within ninety (90) days from the date of the filing of the said Decree, * * * and it is ordered that neither the plaintiff or defendant will take any alimony, one from the other, now and forever, neither being entitled to same, one from the other, except herein stated."
On November 13, 1972, the plaintiff, after retaining new counsel, filed a motion to partially vacate the decree, and a motion for rehearing. This motion alleged that the property settlement was made by plaintiff's attorney without her consent. She moved to set aside all of the provisions of the decree except for the provision dissolving the marriage. On February 1, 1973, the trial court entered an order granting plaintiff's motion to partially vacate and plaintiff's motion for rehearing, on the basis of her previous attorney having no authority to enter into the property settlement.
On March 8, 1973, a hearing was held to determine the rights and obligations of the parties under the divorce decree. The majority of the testimony presented therein concerned the defendant's income, the value of defendant's business property, the defendant's debts, the plaintiff's contribution to defendant's business, the condition and value of various properties owned by the parties, the needs of the plaintiff, and the medical and educational requirements of the parties' unemancipated child, Jerry Scruggs. After hearing the testimony of the defendant, plaintiff, and Jerry Scruggs, the trial court took the matter under consideration.
On March 27, 1973, the trial court entered a "supplemental decree." Under this decree the defendant was ordered to pay $12,000 alimony in gross to the plaintiff, $20 per week for support of the son, Jerry Scruggs, the medical and educational expenses of said son, $500 to J.C. Mitchell (counsel for plaintiff), and $204 to Mr. Lorek (previous counsel for plaintiff) for costs advanced by him in the prosecution of plaintiff's claim. This decree also incorporated, "with the exception of Paragraphs 3 and 9 of the original Decree, and as otherwise modified in the foregoing Paragraphs of this Decree, Paragraphs 2 through 13, inclusive, of the original Decree * * *." The unmodified provisions of the "original decree" incorporated into the second decree included, among others, provision 5, which awarded the "homeplace" of the parties and the furniture and household goods located therein to the plaintiff, provision 6, which awarded three described pieces of real estate located in Mound City to the plaintiff, ordered the defendant to convey his interest in such real estate to the plaintiff by quitclaim deeds, and ordered defendant to pay the 1971 taxes on such real estate, provision 7, which awarded certain "property referred to as the Kinslow conveyance" to the plaintiff, ordered the defendant to convey his interest in such real estate to the plaintiff by quitclaim deed, and ordered defendant to pay the 1971 taxes thereon, provision 10, which provided that the plaintiff and defendant were individually and not jointly, responsible for any debts incurred after September 1, 1971, and provision 13, which ordered the plaintiff to convey any interest she may have in six described pieces of real estate, including the property on which the defendant operated an I.G.A. grocery store, to the defendant.
Subsequently, plaintiff filed a motion for rehearing. She alleged therein that,
"The alimony in gross awarded to Plaintiff by Defendant is, as a matter of law, less than that shown by the manifest weight of the evidence. Based upon the evidence in the record, said alimony in gross should not have been less than Twenty-Four Thousand Dollars ($24,000.00)."
She further alleged that the child support should not have been less than $40 per week, she should be given one-half interest in the "Real estate where Defendant's place of business is now located," the supplemental decree did not correctly award her the automobile (title of which remained in defendant's possession), and the defendant had another bank account of which she had just learned.
On June 26, 1973, the date set for rehearing, counsel for both parties argued in support of their cause. The argument of plaintiff's counsel with respect to the inadequacy of the alimony in gross award contained in the supplemental decree was based solely upon the insufficiency of the amount. In response to the plaintiff's claim of newly discovered assets, the defendant's counsel made the following statements; that the new bank account was an account held by the defendant and his second wife, that there were two accounts, that one account was a checking account of the second wife, and that the other account was a joint savings account where the second wife put her savings from the salary she received from the defendant's store. Impropriety of lump-sum alimony was not urged.
On August 14, 1973, the trial court entered an order directing the defendant to pay $30.00 per week in child support and also directing the defendant "to deliver title to said automobile to Plaintiff." The plaintiff's motion for rehearing was denied "in all other respects." The plaintiff appeals from this order.
The plaintiff raised three contentions in this appeal; first, that the trial court "abused its discretion in the establishment of the just alimony and support award" and, therefore, this court can, and must, reverse same; secondly, that it was improper for the trial court to award alimony in gross in lieu of periodic alimony under the circumstances here present; and lastly, that the trial court erred in failing to grant plaintiff an equitable interest in the business operated by defendant.
• 1 We shall first discuss whether the trial court's action in granting alimony in gross in lieu of periodic alimony was reversible error. Unless the circumstances justify a different course of action, the usual and proper practice is to award permanent alimony in such a manner that it will remain in the control of the court. (Schwarz v. Schwarz, 27 Ill.2d 140, 188 N.E.2d 673; Meighen v. Meighen, 307 Ill. 306, 138 N.E. 613; Hall v. Hall, 18 Ill. App.3d 583, 310 N.E.2d 186.) In Honey v. Honey, 120 Ill. App.2d 102, 256 N.E.2d 121, the court discussed various circumstances under which courts have granted alimony in gross and, then, found that the record before it was devoid of any similar circumstances which would justify the imposition of alimony in gross. Consequently, the court held that since periodic alimony was feasible the trial court, persuaded by plaintiff's counsel, adopted the wrong standard in determining the award of alimony, i.e., alimony in gross, and that aspect of the decree must be reversed.
• 2, 3 Nevertheless, the court's ruling in Honey v. Honey is of little aid to the plaintiff in the instant case. The order appealed from in the instant case was the culmination of four separate hearings before two different presiding judges. As the record set forth previously demonstrates, at no time throughout any of these proceedings did either of plaintiff's counsel complain of the impropriety of alimony in gross. In fact, plaintiff not only acquiesced to alimony in gross but requested alimony in gross in her second motion for rehearing, complaining only about the amount of the award of alimony in gross previously entered by the trial court. Furthermore, plaintiff has accepted the quitclaim deeds tendered by the defendant pursuant to provisions 5 and 7 of the original decree, incorporated by reference in the trial court's supplemental decree and order. Section 18 of the Divorce Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 40, par. 19), provides, in part, that:
"The court may order the husband or wife, as the case may be, to pay to the other party such sum of money, or convey to the party such real or personal property, payable or to be conveyed either in gross or by installments as settlement in lieu of alimony, as the court deems equitable."
Since the preceding provision has been interpreted to mean that a court may not grant both periodic alimony and a lump-sum payment (Rodely v. Rodely, 28 Ill.2d 347, 192 N.E.2d 347; Overton v. Overton, 6 Ill. App.3d 1086, 287 N.E.2d 47), the acceptance by the plaintiff of the deeds tendered by the defendant as part of a property settlement further evidences the plaintiff's waiver of her "right" to periodic alimony. The plaintiff's apparent request for alimony in gross, her failure to raise any question relating to the impropriety of alimony in gross in any of the four separate hearings conducted by the trial court, and her acceptance of the defendant's tender of certain quitclaim deeds, which were part of the trial court's property settlement, lead us to refuse to consider this issue for the first time on appeal. See Hux v. Raben, 38 Ill.2d 223, 230 N.E.2d 831; Woman's Athletic Club v. Hulman, 31 Ill.2d 449, 202 N.E.2d 528; Hartman v. Hartman, 11 Ill. App.3d 524, 297 N.E.2d 199.
• 4, 5 Next, we shall address plaintiff's contention that the trial court abused its discretion in determination of the amount of the alimony and child support to be awarded. The measure of alimony is the need of the wife considered in connection with the husband's ability to pay. (E.g., Busby v. Busby, 11 Ill. App.3d 426, 296 N.E.2d 585.) No single criterion is controlling and each case will depend on the individual facts of that case. (Turns v. Turns, 96 Ill. App.2d 347, 239 N.E.2d 144.) As a general rule, the amount of alimony is within the sound discretion of the trial court, and the amount of alimony determined thereby will not be disturbed unless an abuse of discretion is shown. (Rodely v. Rodely, 28 Ill.2d 347, 192 N.E.2d 347; Sandberg v. Sandberg, 11 Ill. App.3d 495, 297 N.E.2d 654.) From the record before us, we are unable to say that the terms of the divorce decree, in particular the alimony award, were against the manifest weight of the evidence or that they were beyond the proper limits of discretion vested in the trial court.
The final contention of the plaintiff is that the trial court erred in failing to award her an equitable interest in the business operated by defendant. In support of this contention plaintiff cites Everett v. Everett, 25 Ill.2d 342, 185 N.E.2d 201, for the proposition: "For a court to exercise its equitable powers to adjust property rights of the parties, special circumstances and equities must exist." Plaintiff alleges that "her efforts and denial of the material benefits of life with reference to the growth and development of the grocery store of her husband * * * qualify as special circumstances and equities."
• 6 The trial court as the trier of fact is in a position superior to a court of review to observe the conduct of witnesses while testifying, to determine their credibility, and to weigh the evidence and to determine the preponderance thereof, especially where testimony is contradictory. (Schulenburg v. Signatrol, Inc., 37 Ill.2d 352, 226 N.E.2d 624; Smith v. Realcoa Construction Co., 13 Ill. App.3d 254, 300 N.E.2d 855.) The function of a reviewing court is to examine the factual determinations of the trial court to see whether they are supported by the evidence (In re Estate of Kas, 14 Ill. App.3d 729, 303 N.E.2d 201), and not to disturb those determinations unless they are against the manifest weight of the evidence (Brown v. Zimmerman, 18 Ill.2d 94, 163 N.E.2d 518). In the instant case the trial court, after hearing the evidence pertaining to the plaintiff's contributions to "the grocery store of her husband" and the plaintiff's deprivation of the "material benefits of life," much of which was contradictory, determined that no special circumstances or equities existed to justify the plaintiff's request for a one-half interest in the grocery store operated by the defendant and, therefore, denied plaintiff's request for such an interest. We cannot say, from the record before us, that the trial court's denial of plaintiff's request was against the manifest weight of the evidence.
Having found each of plaintiff's contentions without merit we affirm the order entered by the circuit court of Pulaski County denying paragraphs one, three and five of plaintiff's motion for rehearing.
Order affirmed.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,PLAINTIFF,v.N. HARRISON AVE., FRESNO, CALIFORNIA APN:407-751-08, DEFENDANT.
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO DISMISS (Doc. 12)REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6415
On February 22, 2011, the United States filed a complaint for forfeiture in rem against Real Property Located at 6415 N. Harrison Avenue, Fresno, Fresno County, California. (Doc. 1).
On May 2, 2011, claimants Bok Hee Ee and Judy Ee ("Claimants") filed a motion to dismiss. (Doc. 12). The United States filed opposition on May 27, 2011. (Doc. 15). Claimants filed a reply on June 3, 2011. (Doc. 16).
The defendant in this action is real property located at 6415 North Harrison Avenue, Fresno, Fresno County, California, APN: 407-751-08 ("the Property"), described as follows:
Lot 2 of Tract No. 3600, Craycroft Village, according to the map thereof recorded in Volume 42, Page 1 of Plats, Fresno County Records. APN: 407-751-08 The recorded owners of the Property are Bok Hee Ee ("Ee"), a widow, and her daughter Judy C. Ee, a single woman, as joint tenants. Bok Hee Ee purchased the Property in 1993. On or about January 23, 2001, Bok Hee Ee opened a Home-Equity Line of Credit ("HELOC") with Bank of the West secured by the equity value of the Property.
Ee married Kwan Yong Choi ("Choi") in October 2004. The complaint alleges that an investigation conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") from February 2009 to February 2010 revealed that Ee and Choi used the HELOC to launder funds from fraudulent investment schemes perpetrated by Choi. Choi was indicted on May 27, 2010 for money laundering in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1956 and 1957; Choi's criminal case is pending.
According to the complaint, Choi placed fraudulently obtained funds into a Bank of America business account number ***9021 ("9021 Account") and a personal Bank of America account number ***838 ("838 Account"). Choi used funds from the 9021 Account and 838 Account to fund checks deposited into the following accounts:
a. Hanmi Bank account number ***753 dba Trinity California Theological Seminary controlled by Choi;
b. Bank of America account number *** 575 in the name of Kwan Choi (hereafter "BoA575");
c. Bank of the West account number ***286 in the name of Bok Ee (hereafter "BoW286");
d. Bank of the West account number ***166 in the name of Bok Ee (hereafter "BoW166"); and,
e. Bank of America account number ***159 in the name of Bok Choi, the married name of Bok Ee (hereafter "BoA159").
Funds from these five accounts were used to service the HELOC.
Funds from the HELOC were then placed back into Ee's Bank of America ***159 and Bank of the West ***166 accounts.
Motions to dismiss in rem forfeiture actions are governed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b) and Rule G of the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions.
Dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6) is appropriate where the complaint lacks sufficient facts to support a cognizable legal theory. Balistreri v. Pacifica Police Dep't , 901 F.2d 696, 699 (9th Cir.1990). To sufficiently state a claim to relief and survive a 12(b) (6) motion, the pleading "does not need detailed factual allegations" but the "[f]actual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level." Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly , 550 U.S. 544, 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007). Mere "labels and conclusions" or a "formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do." Id . Rather, there must be "enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Id . at 570. In other words, the "complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Ashcroft v. Iqbal , --- U.S. ----, ----, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009) (internal quotation marks omitted).
The Ninth Circuit has summarized the governing standard, in light of Twombly and Iqbal , as follows: "In sum, for a complaint to survive a motion to dismiss, the nonconclusory factual content, and reasonable inferences from that content, must be plausibly suggestive of a claim entitling the plaintiff to relief." Moss v. U.S. Secret Serv. , 572 F.3d 962, 969 (9th Cir.2009) (internal quotation marks omitted). Apart from factual insufficiency, a complaint is also subject to dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6) where it lacks a cognizable legal theory, Balistreri, 901 F.2d at 699, or where the allegations on their face "show that relief is barred" for some legal reason, Jones v. Bock , 549 U.S. 199, 215, 127 S.Ct. 910, 166 L.Ed.2d 798 (2007).
In deciding whether to grant a motion to dismiss, the court must accept as true all "well-pleaded factual allegations" in the pleading under attack. Iqbal , 129 S.Ct. at 1950. A court is not, however, "required to accept as true allegations that are merely conclusory, unwarranted deductions of fact, or unreasonable inferences." Sprewell v. Golden State Warriors , 266 F.3d 979, 988 (9th Cir.2001). "When ruling on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss, if a district court considers evidence outside the pleadings, it must normally convert the 12(b)(6) motion into a Rule 56 motion for summary judgment, and it must give the nonmoving party an opportunity to respond." United States v. Ritchie , 342 F.3d 903, 907 (9th Cir.2003). "A court may, however, consider certain materials-documents attached to the complaint, documents incorporated by reference in the complaint, or matters of judicial notice-without converting the motion to dismiss into a motion for summary judgment." Id. at 908.
Pursuant to Rule G of the Supplemental Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims, a forfeiture complaint must "state sufficiently detailed facts to support a reasonable belief that the government will be able to meet its burden of proof at trial." Supp. R. G for Admiralty or Maritime Cl. and Asset Forfeiture Actions Rule E requires the complaint to "state the circumstances from which the claim arises with such particularity that the defendant or claimant will be able, without moving for a more definite statement, to commence an investigation of the facts and to frame a responsive pleading." Supp. R. E(2)(a) for Admiralty or Maritime Cl. and Asset Forfeiture Actions.
A. Statute of Limitations
Claimants assert that the United States' action is time barred. Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 1621, a forfeiture action must be "commenced within five years after the time when the alleged offense was discovered ." United States v. 874 Gartel Drive , 79 F.3d 918, 922 (9th Cir. 1996) (citing 19 U.S.C. § 1621). "The statutory period begins to accrue only upon discovery of the offense, not with the commission thereof." Id.
According to the complaint, the money laundering scheme underlying the United States' forfeiture action was not discovered until, at the earliest, February 2009, when the United States began its investigation into Choi and Bok Ee. (Compl. at 3). The complaint in this action was filed in 2011, within the five-year period proscribed by section 1621.
Claimants invoke the one-year statute of limitations set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 984(b). Section 984 applies:
[i]n any forfeiture action in rem in which the subject property is cash, monetary instruments in bearer form, funds deposited in an account in a financial institution...or precious metals.
18 U.S.C. § 984(a)(1). The United State's complaint does not seek forfeiture of the types of property identified in section 984(a)(1); the United States seeks only forfeiture of real property. By its own terms, section 984 does not apply to the instant action. Id . Section 1621 provides the applicable statute of limitations for the United States' forfeiture claim.
B. Claimants' Arguments Regarding Traceability
Claimants contend that "to forfeit property as direct 'traceable proceeds' the government literally has to trace the exact same identifiable assets from the tainting act into the res." (Motion to Dismiss at 9). Claimants cite no authority in support of their argument, which is contrary to Ninth Circuit law. Tracing of money for the purposes of section 981 does not require that the identical money be traced. E.g. , United States v. Check No. 25128 in the Amount of $58,654.11 , 122 F.3d 1263, 1264 (9th Cir. 1997). As the Second Circuit has explained:
Where the credit in a depositor's account represents the net results of transactions that include a deposit of drug money, there is a plausible argument to be made either that the account contains the "traceable proceeds" of the tainted deposit (so long as the balance has not fallen below the amount of the tainted deposit) or that any withdrawal (in excess of the tainted deposit) contains the "traceable proceeds" of such a deposit. Which approach reflects reality in any particular case will depend on the precise circumstances. For example, if a depositor placed a $175 check from his automobile insurer in payment of a damage claim into an account that contained $100 from a drug sale and the next day paid a $175 bill for car repairs, a fact-finder would be entitled to conclude that the $175 withdrawal did not contain "traceable proceeds" of the drug transaction but solely the "traceable proceeds of the insurance payment, with the tainted deposit remaining in the account. Obviously few cases will present facts that neatly match untainted deposits with withdrawals, and the real question therefore becomes which side bears the risk of the inevitable uncertainty that will arise in most cases. Congress has answered that question in the Government's favor by assigning it a lenient burden of proof in obtaining forfeiture of "traceable proceeds" of drug transactions.
United States v. Banco Cafetero Panama , 797 F.2d 1154, 1159-1160 (2nd Cir. 1986) superceded on other grounds by statute as stated in United States v. Contents in Account No. 059-644190-69, 253 F. Supp. 2d 789, 795 (D. Vermont 2003).
The only case cited in Claimants' motion concerning their
traceability argument is United States v. All Funds
Presently on Deposit at Am. Express Bank , 832 F. Supp. 542,
560 (E.D.N.Y 1993). The selective quotation from All Funds
provided by Claimants, however, is from a passage in which
the court was quoting a portion of the legislative history of section
984. Not only is All Funds inapposite, it does not
even stand for the proposition Claimants cite it for: that "when
proceeds are commingled in a bank account with clean money, the trail
of 'directly traceable proceeds' ends." (Motion to Dismiss at 8).
The complaint alleges facts sufficient to support a reasonable belief that the government will be able to meet its burden of proof at trial of establishing that the Property is derived, at least in part, from proceeds traceable to offenses identified in section 981. See, e.g., United States v. 3814 NW Thurman St., 164 F.3d 1191, 1196 (9th Cir. 1999) (increased equity value of real property traceable to tainted funds subject to forfeiture) ; see also United States v. 216 Kenmore Ave. , 657 F. Supp. 2d 1060, 1069 (D. Minn. 2009) (holding that real property was "traceable to" money laundering activity where monies were used to pay property taxes and conduct renovations). *fn1 Claimants' motion to dismiss the Government's tracing-based claims is DENIED, without prejudice.
C. Claimants' Arguments Concerning 981(a)(1)(A)
Claimants contend that the Property was not "involved in" the alleged money laundering transactions within the meaning of section 981(a)(1)(A). *fn2 Claimants aver that the fact that the line of credit was secured was merely incidental or fortuitous -- it did not make the underlying criminal offense "less difficult or more or less free from obstruction or United States v. Schifferli hindrance." , 895 F.2d 987 (4th Cir. 1990).
(Motion to Dismiss at 10). In Schifferli , the Fourth Circuit adopted the facilitation approach to determining whether property was "involved in" criminal conduct. See Schifferli , 895 F.2d at 990. Although section 981(a)(1)(A) does not contain the words "facilitate" or "facilitating," numerous courts have concluded that the phrase "property involved in" includes property used to facilitate an offense. E.g., United States v. All Monies In Account No. 90-3617-3 , 754 F. Supp. 1467, 1473 (D. Hawaii 1991); see also In re 650 Fifth Ave. & Related Props. , 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 34295 *92-94 (S.D.N.Y. 2011) (collecting cases). *fn3
Property need not be indispensable to the commission of an offense
in order to be "involved in" the offense. See, e.g.
, United States v. 3639-2nd St., N.E. , 869
F.2d 1093, 1096 (8th Cir. 1989). As the district court explained in
All Monies In Account No. 90-3617-3
Facilitating property is forfeitable if it makes the underlying
criminal activity less difficult or "more or less free from
obstruction or hindrance." There must be more than an incidental or
fortuitous connection between the property and the illegal activity,
but the property need not be indispensable to the commission of the
offense. Nor does the property need to be used exclusively for illegal
activity. 754 F. Supp. at 1473 (citations omitted).
Several courts have held that real property is "involved in" a money laundering offense if laundered funds are used to make payments toward purchase of the property and to pay for improvements. See In re 650 Fifth Ave, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 34295 at * 99 (citing United States v. Myers , 21 F.3d 826, 831 (8th Cir. 1994); United States v. 10.10 Acres Located on Squires Road , 386 F. Supp. 2d 613, 616 (D.N.C. 2005); United States v. Schlesinger , 261 Fed. Appx. 355, 36 (2nd Cir. 2008); and United States v. 216 Kenmore Ave ., 657 F. Supp. 2d 1060, 1069 (D. Minn. 2009) (tracing theory)). In Schlesinger , a defendant deposited the proceeds of a fraudulent scheme into the business operating accounts of companies he ran at the premises and then used funds from the operating accounts to pay the companies' monthly lease and tax expenses. 261 Fed. Appx. At 361. The Second Circuit affirmed the district court's finding that the premises "served as a conduit for the proceeds of illegal transactions," making the premises subject to forfeiture. Id . Similarly, in Myers , the Eight Circuit held that a farm was forfeitable because it was "involved in criminal activity" where a defendant made substantial payments on a real estate contract for the farm and paid for improvements on the farm with laundered funds.
Here, the complaint alleges sufficient facts to support a forfeiture claim under the theory that Property was the conduit through which a money laundering scheme was carried out. Absent the Property, Choi and Ee would not have had access to the ELOC, which facilitated numerous transfers of substantial amounts of money to and from accounts involved in the money laundering scheme alleged in the complaint. It cannot be disputed that the Property, through the ELOC, made the alleged money laundering scheme less difficult because it provided access to an apparently legitimate source of funds. Claimants' attempt to separate the ELOC from the Property is of no avail; absent the Property, the $70,000.00 equity line of credit would not have been available, and there would have been no source of apparently legitimate funds to deposit into the various accounts held by Ee and Choi.
Contrary to Claimants' repeated contention, the United State's
forfeiture claim under section 981(a)(1)(A) does not rely on the
"expanding drop of ink theory;" accordingly, Claimants citation to
United States v. $3,148,884.40 (Bital) , 76
F.Supp.2d 1063, 1067 (C.D. Cal. 1999) for the proposition that "the
'expanding drop of ink' or 'facilitating bank account'" is no longer
viable is of no avail. (Motion to Dismiss at 11). The United States
claim under section 981(a)(1)(A) is based on the contention that the
Property was used to facilitate money laundering, not that the
Property is subject to forfeiture because its equity value was paid
for in part by tainted funds (this theory is the basis of the United
States claims under section 981(a)(1)(C) and 981(a)(1)(D)). Claimants'
motion to dismiss is DENIED, without prejudice.
For the reasons stated, Claimants' motion to dismiss is DENIED, without prejudice.

Editors' Association of Canada
(The Editors' Association of Canada began using the name Editors Canada on July 1, 2015.)
The ad reads: BILINGUAL EDITOR WANTED1 – edit texts, correct proofs, research and write short texts in English and French . . .
Then there's another: BILINGUAL TRANSLATOR – undertake all in house or 3rd party communications for translation of internal and external documents from French to English and English to French.
Bilingual editors? With the ability to produce top notch professional work in both languages? Bilingual translators? With the skill to translate both to and from two languages at the same high level?
In the last year or so, there seems to have been an upsurge in the number of businesses looking for "bilingual" translators and, even worse, "bilingual" editors. The number of government agencies alone looking for bilingual translators and editors is worrisome. Of course, the reason is obvious: the bottom line. Employers feel they will be getting a twofer if they hire a bilingual communicator. Unfortunately, the reality is that their communications and messaging will pay the price.
The translation industry has one main commandment: "Thou shalt translate into none but thy mother tongue." Budding translators learn this lesson their first year in Translation 101 and continue to hear it in seminars and from colleagues and agencies throughout their careers. OTTIAQ (www) (Quebec association of certified translators, terminologists and interpreters) states, "Translators generally translate from their second or third language, into their mother tongue." In Europe, the French translators' association, SFT (www), runs a big red heading on its website: "Un traducteur professionnel travaille vers sa langue maternelle" (A professional translator translates only into his or her mother tongue), with the warning, "[TRANS] . . . always use a translator whose first language corresponds to the target language [because a native speaker] will have a better understanding of cultural and linguistic subtleties and adhere to typographical conventions." Translators who stray from this rule will, they declare, run the risk of overlooking criteria essential to a translation's quality.
Simply being bilingual, or even simultaneously bilingual (www), does not guarantee good translation skills. Translation consists in transferring ideas and information from one language to another and reproducing them in a grammatical and easily read text. There are very few people bilingual enough to deliver high quality work in both languages, certainly nowhere near enough to fill all the positions we see advertised almost daily. Unless translators receive all their primary and secondary education in a bilingual environment, go on to take full degrees in both languages, continue with professional development in both languages and orchestrate their lives to be immersed in two cultural realities, they are not going to be able to translate in both directions.
But surely an excellent command of English, even if it is your second language, is adequate to edit English texts?
Not according to the Editors' Association of Canada (EAC). EAC has published the bible of Canadian editing, Professional Editorial Standards, which lays out what editors need to do at the various stages of editing. EAC also runs a certification program (www) to officially recognize excellent editing knowledge and skills. Preparation for the three-hour certification tests in each of the various aspects of editing (stylistic and structural editing, copy editing and proofreading) is extensive: Experienced unilingual editors study for months using Meeting Professional Editorial Standards (www), a four-volume series that "covers the core editorial skills you will need to work as an editor."
And not all the English-speaking certification candidates, who work in only one language, pass the tests.
What does that tell us? It tells us that professional editors have to work hard to keep up their skills and stay abreast of current language practices in one language. It would be nearly impossible to consecrate the same amount of time and effort to updating and learning new skills in two languages.
The upshot is that when employers hire bilingual communicators, one of the languages will usually suffer, and a communications professional in that language will be out of a job, despite being more skilled. Our country is full of badly translated and poorly edited text in both languages; logic dictates that we are not acting as very good stewards of our bilingual heritage and should perhaps be a little more stringent in our hiring practices when it comes to language professionals.
The solution is simple: Hire two people, one in each language.
The ads are real, but information has been changed to protect the innocent. 1

Controversial US online TV service Aereo has confirmed that it plans to launch in Chicago on September 13th, giving consumers in the Windy City and surrounding areas access to free over-the-air television channels with a cloud-based DVR via Internet-connected devices.
Making the announcement at TechWeek Chicago, CEO Chet Kanojia said: "Consumers want more choice and flexibility when it comes to how they watch television and the enthusiastic response to our technology from people across the country has been humbling.
"At Aereo, we feel that we've built something meaningful for consumers and we're proud of the work we've accomplished. However, there's still much more to come as we continue our expansion into new cities throughout the summer and fall."
The expansion to Chicago will cover 16 counties across Illinois and Indiana, and follows the launch of Aereo in New York City, Boston and Atlanta. The service costs US$ 8 month for access to Aereo's cloud-based antenna/DVR technology and 20 hours of DVR storage.
Aereo remains locked in legal battles with the nation's major TV networks, who allege that it is infringing copyright by redistributing their free-to-air channels for a fee.

Pedophile Awaiting Child Porn Charges Murders Mother, Then Rapes Her 10 Year Old Daughter
I've seldom seen a better candidate for the death penalty than David Renz, the New York man who murdered a woman and raped her 10-year-old daughter last year. However, he was sentenced on Friday to life in prison without parole.
The judge said he hoped the sentence brought comfort to the victim's family, although it's hard to imagine that anything could.
A New York man has been sentenced to life in prison without parole Friday for raping a girl and killing her mother after cutting off his ankle monitor last year.
David Renz learned his fate in Onondaga County Court after a judge said he hoped the penalty would comfort the victims' family.
The 30-year-old had pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, admitting that he carjacked Liverpool librarian Lori Ann Bresnahan and her 10-year-old daughter March 14, 2013.
Renz stabbed and strangled the mother as she tried to stop him from raping her daughter.
He had been under federal monitoring on child pornography charges but cut off his ankle GPS.
Renz was sentenced earlier this year to 30 years in federal prison for possessing more than 11,000 images and 1,100 videos of child pornography.
On Friday, Renz remained motionless and wore a blank expression on his face as his sentence was being read.
Judge Thomas Miller had some harsh words for the defendant, whose behavior last March he characterized as 'despicable,' Syracuse.com reported.
'One day, you will face another judge. One day when you pass from this earth, another judge will impose a harsher sentence for the absolute evil you committed,' he said.
….The shocking murder of Lori Breshnahan – and the rape of her young daughter – occurred while Renz was awaiting trial for the child pornography charges, and was confined to his home and required to wear a monitoring device.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.2 /5 from 176 reviews
We've stayed at this property three different times over four years with our family. It's a very family friendly hotel, at least during the week of Thanksgiving (which is when we visit). The breakfast is excellent and I'm sure the dinner is a nice event, but we are never present to try dinner. If I had a complaint, it's the hotel gym. Two treadmills and one stairmaster are not enough (I'd love some free weights) but the equipment is in excellent shape and they have TV's built into the equipment which work well.
Bad experience with the lobby and the attitude
Room was great. I would most definitely come back to this place. Check in and check out was quick. Loved it
Room very comfortable. Upon arrival bathtub could have been a little cleaner but when I requested it to be cleaned again it was done promptly. Staff friendly and accommodating. Breakfast and evening snack was excellent. I would stay here again.
Stayed for one week. The room had everything we needed. Stovetop, microwave, full size fridge, dishwasher in the kitchenette. Also breakfast is provided every morning for free. And Mon-Thur there is a reception with food and beverages. Staff was very friendly, welcoming and super attentive. I would definitely stay here again!

Picture: Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard + bloodline. Netherlands.
Picture: Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard. Netherlands. Mitsubishi. Indonesia.
In 2012, Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard (the Queen of The Netherlands at that time; now abdicated) screwed up on a financial transaction which would have brought her family 3% of a $2.13 Trillion deposit in Asia, and the rest of The Netherlands people 2% of that $2.13 Trillion.
3% of $2,130,000,000,000 = $63,900,000 before tax.
2% of $2,130,000,000,000 = $42,600,000 before tax.
These are useful sums. But it is reported that Beatrix wanted the whole $2.13 Trillion for herself and her family, and nothing at all for the other people of The Netherlands.
She, her family, and the people of The Netherlands ended up getting nothing at all because of Beatrix's maladministration of the financial instrument involved.
The financial instrument concerned was (and still is) a Certificate of Deposit held at the Bank of Toyko Mitsubishi (Japan). The $2.13 Trillion deposited is owned by the depositor: the Asian Dragon Family. The lead signatory is Akihiko Yamaguchi. Unlimited Power of Attorney is held by Neil Keenan.
More detail, including pertinent documents, can be found downpage here (30.11.16). The document images, widely distributed on the web, are linked separately here, here and here.
Since November 2015, Neil Keenan has also been M1 Monetary Controller of the Global Collateral Accounts.
Beatrix is now said to be attempting, covertly, to extort big money out of Indonesia, which was formally a Netherlands colony called the Dutch East Indies. A new financial instrument has been unlawfully magicked into existence to help Beatrix to do this. It is being called a "Debt Repayment."
The idea here is that for some reason Indonesia, having been despoiled, raped and looted by the Dutch in colonial days, should now retrospectively pay The Netherlands for that service.
In contradistinction, others are suggesting that substantial colonial reparations should, in fact, be paid by The Netherlands to Indonesia to atone for their unilateral imperial pillage.
Whether the President of Indonesia, Joko (Jokowi) Widodo, and his government and advisors, are taken in by Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard's end-time machinations remains to be seen.

In Asia, at full moon on Wednesday 25th November 2015, Neil Keenan was elected M1 Monetary Controller of The Global Collateral Accounts. These accounts contain many quadrillions of gold and asset-backed securities ($93Q are said to have been audited). Most are owned by Asian depositors.
Keenan was the first person to be legitimately elected M1 since President Sukharno of Indonesia, who died in 1970. Since then there have been many impostors promoted as M1 by agents of the US Rogue Faction. In recent years there have been many unsuccessful attempts by agents of the US Rogue Faction to assassinate Neil Keenan.
In November 2016, after Donald Trump had won the US Presidential Election against the US Rogue Faction's Hillary Clinton, he and his transition team sought Neil Keenan's recommendations for executive consideration.
Keenan advised that immediate actions should include: (1) Cessation of Chemtrail spraying; (2) Cessation of the HAARP programs; (3) Curtailing of GMO/weaponised foods; (4) Curtailing of vaccination bioweapons; (5) Halting UN Agendas 21 & 30; (6) Stopping the administration of toxic agrichemicals; (7) Stopping the privatisation of water supplies; (8) Gold-backing the US Dollar directly through the US Treasury; (9) Taking legal action against the US Federal Reserve System (a private corporation); (10) Taking legal action against the US Inland Revenue Service (a constitutionally illegal foreign entity).
Much else of a technical nature to do with attempted élite heists of Asian gold and large denomination (trillion/quadrillion) bonds was also advised.
More detail of the Keenan ► Trump document and its background can be found here (19.11.16).
Picture: Under Donald Trump, will the US pivot to Asia & join the AIIB?
Under Donald Trump, will the US pivot to Asia economically and, with a post-Abe Japan, become a member of the China-based Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)?
Geopolitically, what is needed is not the UN 2030 Agenda (details here and here), benevolent though much of that élite PsyOp may appear on the surface.
Rather, a much bigger political, humanitarian, environmental and financial global reset is required, coordinated by a new, reformed, international body, with non-fiat, gold-backed funding. More than enough gold is ready in Asia and elsewhere to resource this.
The problem is that at the moment, the UN is known to be a corrupt US private corporation, serving as a money laundry for the global élite. This also goes for the 1944 Bretton Woods Institutions, such as the World Bank, the IMF, and the World Trade Organisation. These, like the UN, are said to be puppeteered for the benefit of the (now bankrupt) G7 fiat banking syndicate and its controlling bloodline oligarchs.
A new UN HQ is reported to have been built in China to receive a new, benevolent global organisation. This could be called the United Nations, once the old US UN corporation has been dissolved, or it could be called something else completely. Every sovereign nation on the planet would be a member by right, providing that it was not a creature of corrupt oligarchic or corporate governance.
The AIIB has a very clear and firm policy on Prohibited Practices. These include Coercive Practice, Collusive Practice, Corrupt Practice, Fraudulent Practice, Obstructive Practice, Misuse of Resources and Theft. More details here (pdf 17pp).
As a conduit, the AIIB and its BRICS associate organisations are considered to be better-fitted to take over the global management of large, benevolent, gold-backed fund flows than the outdated UN or Bretton Woods Institutions.
More current and ongoing geopolitical background can be found here (17.11.16) and here (19.11.16).
Picture: By the end of 2016, 1.6B Muslims will have a new Islamic Gold Standard.
By the end of 2016, 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide will have a new Islamic Gold Standard for the first time in modern history.
The new standard is expected to act as an internationally-recognised consensus on regular gold savings plans (gold accumulation plans), allocated and segregated gold bullion storage, gold certificates, physically-backed gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), some gold futures and gold mining equities.
The World Gold Council has stated that we can expect to see an additional demand for hundreds of tonnes of gold, once the Sharia gold standard has been approved. The requisite approval is expected to be given on Tuesday 6th December 2016, at the 23rd annual World Islamic Banking Conference in the Amwaj Islands, Bahrain.
If just 2% of the assets currently managed by Islamic financial institutions are invested into Sharia-compliant gold products, then we should expect to see over 1,000 tonnes of additional gold demand.
What will this Islamic financial reform do to the price of physical gold in the existing global markets after 6th December?
More here (17.11.16).
Picture: EU - Why does the ECB refuse to physically audit its gold?
The European Central Bank (ECB), creator of the EuroZone's new-fangled fiat Euro currency, currently claims to hold 504.8 tonnes of gold reserves.
These gold holdings arose from transfers made to the ECB by Euro member national central banks, mainly in January 1999, when the Euro was born.
At the end of December 2015, these ECB gold reserves were valued at €15.79 billion on the ECB balance sheet.
The ECB says that its gold reserves are stored across five international locations. It also says that it does not physically audit its gold, nor does it divulge a bar list or weight list of these gold bar holdings.
Why is the ECB being so coy? Are its gold holdings illusory? Are they based on fake certificates? Are they predicated on Asian-owned gold in the Global Collateral Accounts to which the ECB has no legitimate title? Exactly how fake is the financial underpinning of Europe's EuroZone currency?

text: Most of their employees are helpful. The customer service area employees always seem unhappy and miserable as if they hate the world. The female from last night was the icing on the cake. Her attitude and demeanor was totally inappropriate. My husband told her she needed to smile. She never responded. He said something again and she said I don't need to do anything. At one point she was raising her voice. I mean really this is your idea of customer service? She obviously needs to be reassigend to another area since she knows nothing about customer service let alone superior service like they promise. Never have these issues at Rosedale or Dundalk location. I will drive the extra distance to make sure that my family never gets disrespected by one of their employees again.
