File ? Students sit in the gym at Crossville Elmentary School in Crossville, Ala., on Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2011. Despite being in an almost all-white town, the school's enrollment is about 65 percent Hispanic. Both English- and Spanish-speaking residents say they are awaiting the outcome of a federal court hearing on Alabama's new law cracking down on illegal immigration.
- Filed Under
An incident at a Montgomery public school was cited Monday in a U.S. District Court case as a reason Alabama's new immigration law will have a chilling effect on whether children of illegal aliens attend school.
A Montgomery public school teacher asked a fourth-grader whether she was a legal resident, and later asked about the immigration status of the girl's parents, the girl's mother, an undocumented alien, said in an affidavit filed Monday. The woman said it occurred Friday.
Alabama's new law requires schools to collect information on the immigration status of students when they ...

Less than half of Greece's international creditors had agreed to a vital €206bn (£172bn) bond swap on Wednesday night, leaving Athens dangerously exposed to default.
The Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays and HSBC joined 30 European banks and institutions in declaring their acceptance of the deal – but the tally was still far short of the 95pc needed to avoid being officially declared in default.
The International Institute of Finance (IIF), the body that has negotiated with the Greek government on behalf of bondholders, put out several announcements on Wednesday, counting the proportion of the vote as it inched up. The latest statement said bondholders "amounting in aggregate to €84bn, or 40.8pc of the €206bn total eligible debt" would support the deal.
The regular updates coincided with provocative comments from Germany's finance minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble, who said he had discussed with Greece's finance minister Evangelos Venizelos whether it would be better for the country to leave the euro.

*** New ideas for 2014 can be found here***
We have been brainstorming various activities we could do during the week to follow the 2013 "Come Follow Me" Curriculum to reinforce Sunday lessons. I thought I would share what we came up with in case anyone else is looking for ideas. I don't have a lot of ideas for the last months, but as we brainstorm more, I'll continue to update this page. We are using some of these, but not all of them, so if you try these, please let me know how they worked for you.
January: The Godhead
- Faith Walk
- "What will I be like in 5 years" party (Dress up as they will be in 5 years from now, and come prepared to talk about that person and act like that person.)
- Jeopardy Game with questions about the Godhead
- Visit an Art Museum and talk about paintings of Christ

If someone on the court needs help, they need to ask for it, and the back up player will enter the game. (prayer)
- Feather Tennis: This is a game the Pioneers played. Put a string across the room like a volleyball net. Then, use a feather instead of a ball. Rules are similar to volleyball, but they have to blow the feather. The feather can be blown as many times as necessary to get it over the "net". We played this and then sat down and each of the girls told us how the atonement was a type to the game we played. Several of the girls had more than one idea. This was a fun night.

I walked out of my house this morning and found myself in the midst of a pitched sparrow fight. At first I thought I was being attacked by a whole pack of the beasts. But there were only two birds in the flurry, and neither of the combatants actually touched me, but I decided that retreat was the safest option for all involved.
Now, these were not the scruffy English Sparrows that have become a plague on this continent, spreading disease and outright killing our native birds. These were North America's signature sparrows, sparrows with a huge breeding range stretching from the frigid northland to ...

The Sixth Circuit Reverses On A Terry Stop: or, Even Appellate Judges Feel Bad For People Who Are So Scared They're Shaking
We may be seeing a revolution in the way Terry stops are reviewed by the courts of appeals.
The Fourth Circuit, long a bastion of conservative unpublished opinions, has recently published a series of opinions affirming a robust right under the Fourth Amendment to be free from suspicionless Terry stops. (see coverage here, for example).
Now the Sixth Circuit has joined the action in United States v. Beauchamp.
Mr. Beauchamp
Mr. Beauchamp was walking down the street, minding his own business, at 2:30 a.m. in a neighborhood where the police had received a "ton" of complaints about drug dealing.
A police officer saw him and approached. Mr. Beauchamp walked away without making eye contact. The officer radioed to another officer about Mr. Beauchamp, saying that Mr. Beauchamp looked suspicious. At a hearing later, the officer didn't explain why Mr. Beauchamp looked suspicious.
The second officer saw Mr. Beauchamp. He drove up next to him and parked his car very close to where Mr. Beauchamp was walking. Mr. Beauchamp walked around a wrought iron fence away from the officer.
The officer got out of his car wearing his uniform. He told Mr. Beauchamp to stop. Mr. Beauchamp stopped. He told Mr. Beauchamp to walk back to him. Mr. Beauchamp did.
Mr. Beauchamp was shaking. The officer said that he looked "wide-eyed" and "scared." After some inconclusive questioning, the officer searched him for weapons. He didn't find any. He asked Mr. Beauchamp if he could search him. Mr. Beauchamp, still visibly terrified, said yes.
Eighteen rocks of crack cocaine were found in a plastic bag in between Mr. Beauchamp's "butt cheeks."
Mr. Beauchamp Goes To Court
Mr. Beauchamp was charged with possession with intent to distribute. He filed a motion to suppress the search. The motion was denied. He entered a conditional guilty plea - it allowed him to appeal his suppression issue and otherwise plead guilty - and the Sixth Circuit reversed.
When Is Mr. Beauchamp Seized?
The appeals court held that Mr. Beauchamp was seized the minute the officer told him to stop. It held,
A reasonable person in Beauchamp's position would not have felt free to leave when, after walking away from the police two times, an officer targeted Beauchamp by driving up to him, instructed him to stop, and then instructed him to turn around and walk toward the officer.
The court noted that,
Just as officers are afforded the benefit of information or directions received from other officers when we consider whether the detaining officer had reasonable suspicion, an individual's prior encounters with other officers should be taken into consideration when determining whether an encounter was coercive or consensual.
Was The Seizure Justified?
The court of appeals then determined that the police did not have a reasonable articulable suspicion for stopping Mr. Beauchamp. It held that,
Nothing about the conduct at issue in this case suffices to transform a permissible walk away from a police officer into a suspicious act. Beauchamp also did not make eye contact with the officer. But what if he had and then looked away? His behavior may then have been described as "furtive" or "evasive." The ambiguity of Beauchamp's conduct may be susceptible to many different interpretations, but that does not render it suspicious.
I'm not sure when a few appellate opinions turns into a trend, but it feels like this is coming close.
Judges Talk About Central Park
As a closing note, there's a lovely fight between the dissent and the majority opinion about the facts in the case. The dissent accuses the majority opinion of "appellate factfinding" and includes this burn:
Appellate factfinding is a rare and exotic animal, and often seems out of place too. Its appearance warrants explanation in the manner that, say, a rhinoceros in Central Park does. But there is no explanation for the majority's factfinding here.
Not to be outdone, the majority drops a footnote, and some knowledge of Central Park, back on the dissent:
The dissent mischaracterizes our analysis of whether Beauchamp's compliance with the officer's "asking" actually constituted a consensual exchange, noting: "Appellate factfinding is a rare and exotic animal, and often seems out of place too. Its appearance warrants explanation in the manner that, say, a rhinoceros in Central Park does." Dissent at 20. But there was no appellate factfinding here, only fidelity to the de novo standard of review. And it is noteworthy that our de novo analysis need no more explanation than the appearance of the dissent's rhinoceros in Central Park, since there is a zoo in Central Park and if one went to the Central Park Zoo one could expect to see a rhino. So too, when the court conducts a de novo review, it literally looks at the totality of the circumstances "anew."
Though I always wondered why they don't take this kind of exchange out of the majority and dissenting opinions.

Technical Analysis Trading
Technical Analysis Trading vs Fundamental Analysis Trading/Investing
Technical Analysis (TA) is the study of charts and reoccurring patterns within charts to identify and trade with market trends. Fundamental Analysis is the study of companies and market's fundamental values and trading or investing in these shares or markets based upon your valuation model.
The problem with fundamental analysis of markets is that markets are irrational, reasonable valuations can become completely meaningless when greed and fear start to drive a market. All assets are valued on what someone will pay for them, this price is a by product of supply and demand. Demand can be based on a true need for a product, but as is often the case with the markets, demand is simply one trader or investor believing that the asset or market will go higher than the current value. This artificial demand can drive prices to extraordinary heights, not necessarily inline with a 'true' value. This inefficient pricing is the main reason why fundamental analysis is inherently flawed. The below graph highlights the phases of a market and the emotions that drive the market at that point.
This graph highlights the phases of an emotional market – the bottom of the market, the start of an uptrend, a blow off top and finally a falling market. Note the emotions associated with each phase of the trend. These emotions are what drive markets day in and day out.
Technical analysis (TA) is the process of trading markets based upon identify these constantly reoccurring emotional patterns – primarily greed and fear. The objective is to identify the prevailing trend and trade with that trend. Hype and fads can be a powerful force, often driving prices well beyond a 'true' value. Identifying these trends and trading with the rising tide is the key to Technical Analysis. Once people start to realise that the market is in fact over priced, and selling pressure becomes the driving force, they will start to bail out on mass, accelerating the sell off – fear will have taken over. Short selling offers some very rapid trading opportunities, again identifying the capitulation phase of a market can be very profitable.
I have watched these patterns play out thousands of times of a variety of time frames, across a variety of markets – stocks, currency, commodities, indexes. I used to be a firm believer in the fundamental pricing model, but time and experience have taught me that this is a fools way of playing the markets, the only thing that drives markets is people irrationality both positive and negative. A stock that rationally and reasonably can be valued at $1 could very easily become hyped, this leads to greed fueled trading could drive the price to $20, this doesn't change the fact that the stock is still reasonably worth $1, simply the 'demand' has become increasingly strong. Conversely this same stock could be driven down by fear fueled traders to 10c, again the stock is still reasonably worth $1, now the 'demand' is incredibly weak. Fundamental value generally does has a link to the rough pricing range of a market, however emotional trading will always push and pull markets well outside there true fundamental worth. Therefore the key to successfully playing the markets is the ability to read these patterns and ride the tide.
The other key to successful trading is not being stubborn in your opinion, often your analysis will be wrong – have an exit plan. Ensure that you ALWAYS set stop loss limits, these are your lifeline in the world of trading. I personally have more trading losses than wins, but i limit my losses with tight stops, while letting my correct trades run, moving my stop up behind them to ensure any gains are locked it. A good understanding of technical analysis and a disciplined trading plan will ensure your trading path is a successful one.

November 28, 2015
HARRODSBURG, Ky. (WKYT) - On Wednesday morning family members were powerless..to watch their home and everything they owned...go up in flames.
It started Tuesday night when emergency crews were called to help David Pinkston...who lived here with his wife, adult children...and a 7 year old granddaughter.
"For some reason....somehow..he caught his legs on fire," said Dustin Williams, Pinkston's nephew.
Paradmedics and relatives rushed to get him help, but relatives say when they returned home two hours laters the home was engulfed in flames.
This morning the fire re-kindled itself but with everything already lost....they just watched it burn.
"I hate this for my family,I hate it for my uncle ...wish none of it happened," said Williams.
Relative say David Pinkston is a decorated war veteran and that he served several tours of duty in Vietnam, and earned several purple hearts
Investigators say they don't know if the fires are related.
Little is left of the home that relatives say has been in their family for generations.
"My great-grandfather....gave it to his son, he then gave it to my mother, my mother gave it to me. I moved out, my uncle and aunt moved into it," said Williams.
Other than David Pinkston no one else was hurt in the fire.
The fire is under investigation by the Harrodsburg Fire Dept. and the Ky. Fire Marshal.

Elijah Obade tabbed PSAC top defensive player
College Football Videos
Elijah Obade capped an outstanding career at Millersville University by picking up two big Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference honors this week.
Obade, a Charleroi graduate, was named to the All-PSAC East First Team and was also named the PSAC East Defensive Player of the Year.
Obade led the Marauders to the 19-11 campaign that included a trip to the PSAC Tournament where the Marauders were eliminated by West Chester, 73-62, in the quarterfinals.
Obade tormented the opposition with his shot blocking, charge drawing and rebounding prowess. The 6-9 center anchored a defense that surrendered only 65.3 points per game and ranked fourth in the PSAC in field goal percentage defense and third in 3-point field goal percentage defense.
Obade said he was pleased to be recognized for his hard work and dedication.
"It feels great to get some recognition for all the hard work I put in," he said. "I just hope to somehow be a role model for the guys coming back (at Millersville) next season."
Obade said he wasn't sure where his career would take him at Millersville, but that he tried to make the most of it.
"You start out somewhere and figure out your weaknesses," he said. "Then you go to work and target those weaknesses. You work hard and eventually end up a premier player in the conference. I think it shows that hard work does pay off."
One season ago, the Marauders ranked last against the three, but Obade's shot-altering presence on the interior allowed the Marauder guards to overplay and extend their defensive efforts.
Obade set in a single-season Millersville record with 72 blocked shots and led the PSAC in blocks, rebounding (11.1 per game) and double-doubles (13). The PSAC runner-up in blocked shots recorded 29 fewer than Obade and he averaged 1.2 more rebounds than any other player in the league. Obade pulled down at least eight rebounds in 25 of 29 games and recorded a career-high of 21 against Lock Haven on Dec. 1.
Obade spent the majority of the season at the top of the NCAA leaderboard in rebounding. He currently ranks fifth in the nation in rebounding, eighth in blocks and 11th in double-doubles. He is one of only two players in Division II ranks in the top 10 of both blocks and rebounds.
For the season, Obade averaged 11.7 points.
As a junior, Obade narrowly missed averaging a double-double as he averaged 11.5 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. He led the PSAC in rebounding and blocked shots and was 10th in the nation in rebounding as a junior.
As a sophomore, he started in 13 games and averaged 5.7 points and 5.0 rebounds.
Obade says he is hoping that his career will continue. He is debuting for a semi-pro team in Harrisburg on Sunday and said he has some hopes to play professionally overseas.
"I have a few connections and I hope to get a look overseas," he said. "We'll see what happens."
Joining Obade on the East First Team are east Stroudsburg's Whis Grant and Terrance King, Mansfield's Joe Bell, Kutztown's Micah Fraction and West Chester's Jon Breedon.
On the West side California University's Keith Lowe was a Second Team selection.
The West First Team includes Edinboro's Isaiah Prince and Bryan Theriot, Indiana's Mathis Keita, Gannon's Darrell Blanton, Mercyhurst's Luis Leao and Slippery Rock's Devin Taylor.
Cal U's Jake Jacubec was named West Freshman of the Year.
Obade is the son of Rachel Obade of Monessen.

Google settles haptic patent lawsuit with Immersion
updated 02:49 pm EST, Tue November 27, 2012
Settlement covers Google-branded, Motorola handsets only
Google has settled in a patent lawsuit with touch technology company Immersion over infringement of the latter's IP in haptic touchscreen technology. The lawsuit has taken nine months to close, and predates Google's ownership of Motorola, and has ended with the search giant licensing the patents in question, compensating for previous Motorola device shipments, and intending to pay for patent usage in smartphones developed by the company in the future.
The lawsuit, according to The Next Web, covers a total of six patents, and was filed with the district court in Delaware as well as the US ITC, which could have led to an import ban on Motorola devices if a guilty verdict was reached. Immersion CEO Victor Viegas called the settlement a "critical step in our overall strategy of enforcing and monetizing our intellectual property, including Basic Haptics."
The terms of the signed agreement allows Google-branded and Motorola smartphones to be covered by the license, but this does not extend to other manufacturers using Android, who may need to gain a license themselves. Immersion has also sued HTC over the same patent infringement claims.
An earlier version of this story stated that Samsung was also being sued by Immersion. This is incorrect and we have edited the story to reflect that. Electronista regrets the error.

Integrity, leadership key for Mars Area leader
Integrity and leadership are the two most vital characteristics the next Mars Area School District superintendent should possess, according to a recent survey.
More than 600 district residents, parents and staff members recently completed a questionnaire asking what they wanted from a leader.
According to the results, more than 60 percent of those who filled out the survey said they wanted someone who is an advocate for public education, skilled at communications and faculty/staff relations, as well as curriculum development and budget planning.
They said that a superintendent's ability to address student achievement and addressing safety and security issues were important.
Nearly 90 percent said that integrity was vital in a superintendent, with 87.5 percent saying leadership was vital.
Superintendent William G. Pettigrew is retiring no later than Dec. 1.
Vic Morrone, who is heading the superintendent search, said on Tuesday the district received 24 applications from superintendents and assistant superintendents.
Most of the applicants are from Western and Central Pennsylvania, Marrone added. He said he couldn't provide additional information on the individual applicants until he had a chance to discuss them with the school board this week. Interviews are scheduled to begin in early April.
Board president Dayle Ferguson said the board hopes to pick a superintendent by late April or early May, and have that person formally join the district in July. She said the board will use the survey feedback. The district covers Mars, Valencia, Adams and Middlesex.
According to the survey, there are nearly 14,500 residents older than 18 in Mars Area. The district has about 3,200 students.
"We have a very active and involved community," said Ferguson of the number of survey participants. "We have a lot of people who are interested and active in our school district. We have a community that cares about education."

Rosemount has picked yet another builder for a proposed assisted-living facility in the city's downtown.
The city council this week selected Apple Valley-based Stonebridge Cos. to carry out the long-awaited project, which city officials hoped would be up and running by now.
"We're confident the third time's the charm," said Kim Lindquist, the city's community development director.
When choosing Stonebridge, the council cited the city's previous working relationship with the company. Frisbie Architects of River Falls, Wis., was the other option.
In 2009, Stonebridge built Waterford Commons, an $18 million, three-story apartment and commercial development on downtown land the city's Port Authority acquired in pieces over several years.
"We have seen their work here in the city and are familiar with their projects around the metro," Mayor Bill Droste said Friday, March 22. "So they have a good proven track record."
The council previously pegged two other developers to build the senior housing facility at the former site of the St. Joseph Church School building along South Robert Trail. The city bought the three-acre site in 2004.
St. Paul-based Development Representation Associates was chosen in October 2011, but doubts about whether the company had sufficient financial backing caused the council to look at other options.
It then turned to Doran Cos. But last month, the Bloomington-based developer and property management company pulled out of the project after an updated feasibility study showed the market would not support as many housing units as it wanted to build.
Wally Johnson, president of Stonebridge Cos., did not return a call Friday seeking comment on his plan for the site.
Lindquist said it is unclear how many units Stonebridge hopes to build.
"I think (Johnson) is a little less concerned about the market study," she said. "He knows our market, and he thinks there is pent-up demand in Rosemount because we don't have anything like that now."
City officials say the project will fill a void. Although Rosemount has other senior housing options, there are no large ones that provide assisted-living and memory care.
The city bought the former St. Joseph's property for just less than $2.4 million after Dakota County committed to building a library on adjacent land. City officials have said the site would be a great fit for seniors because of its proximity to the library, downtown retail and Central Park.
City officials also would like to build a senior center on the site.

I'd like to advance an idea that would save Barnstable taxpayers millions.
Barnstable has five fire and water districts covering about 43,000 year-round residents. (For this discussion I will not use summer resident numbers or actual call numbers.)
These fire districts employ more than 140 full-time firefighter/EMTs plus eight chiefs and assistant/deputy chiefs. They use nine ambulances, 13 engines, four ladder trucks and numerous smaller vehicles.
Each district has its own fire commissioners and support staff. The town uses seven stations, more than any other town on the Cape.
Compare these numbers with the Falmouth Fire Department, which covers about 40,000 residents, employs more than 70 firefighter/EMTs plus one chief and two deputies, and uses five ambulances, six engines and one ladder truck.
The fire departments of Yarmouth and Dennis combined protect over 60,000 people with about 100 firefighter/EMTs, employ five chiefs/deputy chiefs and use eight ambulances, 10 engines and two ladder trucks.
I realize this comparison is not exactly apples to apples, but Barnstable should have one fire department with one chief, and one water department with one director. Every other Cape Cod town does this.
Reducing the number of water and fire department workers and all their retirement benefits, equipment, vehicles, prudential members and other duplicated services would save millions.

The Larry King victory lap for mediocrity including a session with Howard Kurtz, another one of the Washington examples of total conflict of interest. How can a media critic host a media show on CNN? But then again how could NBC News assign Andrea Mitchell to any political stories when she is married to former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan? But Larry King didn't create those conflicts. He just provided a safe haven for politicians to sell their wares on his show..

The Ab Fab Secret To Success? Turning Off Your Phone
The actress is certainly qualified to advise, having had a career that has spanned over four decades, after finishing her days of boarding school education (though she admits she was by no means a "model pupil"). She urged the girls not to solely obsess about grades, but instead, to take advantage of their surroundings to become "streetwise and savvy." Our favorite part though? Her advice that the girls "be beautiful, be brave, be kind, be clever, be happy." Seems she's got a good head on those padded '80s shoulders. (Daily Mail)

The Mapping of Love and Death: A Maisie Dobbs Novel (Paperback)
May 2010 Indie Next List
"To open a new Maisie Dobbs mystery is like checking in with an old friend. In this sixth book, Maisie has been asked to discover what really happened to World War I cartographer Michael, listed as missing in the trenches in France. The closer she gets to answers for Michael's family, the more she must deal with personal issues that will change her life. I can't wait to read the next installment!"
— Sue Richardson, Maine Coast Book Shop, Inc., Damariscotta, ME
August 1914. As Michael Clifton is mapping land he has just purchased in California's beautiful Santa Ynez Valley, war is declared in Europe and duty-bound to his father's native country, the young cartographer soon sets sail for England to serve in the British army. Three years later, he is listed as missing in action.
April 1932. After Michael's remains are unearthed in France, his parents retain London psychologist and investigator Maisie Dobbs, hoping she can find the unnamed nurse whose love letters were among their late son's belongings. It is a quest that leads Maisie back to her own bittersweet wartime love and to the stunning discovery that Michael Clifton was murdered in his dugout. Suddenly an exposed web of intrigue and violence threatens to ensnare the dead soldier's family and even Maisie herself as she attempts to cope with the impending loss of her mentor and the unsettling awareness that she is once again falling in love.

Glenn Beck's rally Saturday attracted a crowd that spilled past the National Mall. He asked the crowd to honor Martin Luther King's legacy and said "America today begins to turn back to God."
- Filed Under
I did not stick around to see Glenn Beck's extravaganza at the Lincoln Memorial, not out of protest but because I had work to do in Philadelphia. But I was more than satisfied by my memories of the earlier event at that site I'd covered for the old Washington Star, when the theme was civil rights and the speech of the day turned out to be the historic "I Have a Dream" oration by Martin Luther King Jr.
It's hard to imagine now, but there was a lot of tension then at the Star and in the rest of white establishment Washington about that gathering of African-Americans and their sympathizers. I had been on ...
