- Between the Covers: Altered Books in Contemporary Art
Maslow Galleries
Everhart Museum
February 5 - June 6, 2016
Scranton, PA
For the artists in Between the Covers: Altered Books in Contemporary Art, found and mass-produced books are their expressive medium of choice. Viewing themselves as collaborators with their source material, they transform them into sculptures and installations of all sizes and shapes. Beyond exploiting physical and sensorial properties, the artists improvise with content, both text and image. In answer to the looming demise of the printed publication, the exhibition argues that in giving books new life as unique works of art, the artists are opening up fresh possibilities of meaning and relevance. Between the Covers is exclusive to the Everhart Museum and is guest curated by Sarah Tanguy, who has selected a grouping from Kunstadt's Sacred Poem Series. http://everhart-museum.org/exhibitions/upcoming-exhibitions/

- Nina Katchadourian: New Sortings
Kleinert/James Center for the Arts
Woodstock Brydcliffe Guild
June 13 - July 19, 2015
Woodstock, NY
Internationally acclaimed artist Nina Katchadourian often works with a confined, pre-existing set of criteria or visual material, motivated by what she calls "curiosity about the productive tension between freedom and constraint." Nina Katchadourian: New Sortings will consist of three series from Katchadourian's ongoing Sorted Books project including a series on-site using the library of Alf Evers (1905-2004), owned by the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild. Coercing the arbitrary into fluent conversations or pithy statements, Katchadourian's book clusters reveal a potent hyper-literacy that is at once linguistic and graphic. New Sortings will include an interactive series titled Woodstacks, in which area organizations and businesses including the Center for Photography at Woodstock and The Golden Notebook, as well as local writers and artists including Carole P. Kunstadt, will create individual book stacks from their own collections. These will be constructed using the artist's Sorted Book process during the course of the exhibition; each individual or group will respond to stacks created before them. http://www.woodstockguild.org/event/nina-katchadourian-new-sortings-artist-talk-and-opening-reception/

When you place food on your plate...makes sure you can see your plate....
Eat naked in front of a mirror. I would bet anything you can't finish your plate!
I saw a book that shows how 1963 dinner plates averaged 9" compared to today's, which are 12" wide. I found 9-inch 'Food Network' "salad" plates at Kohl's that I use for dinner plates. The smaller plates make portions look bigger. Kohl's also has 1-cup ceramic bowls and Target has 2-cup cereal bowls. Now when I put something to eat into a bowl, I know how much I have without measuring.41
I have seen (heard and tried), using a smaller dinner plate, I also use a salad fork to eat with (and if you are on the run, those plastic folks are about salad size). You can't get as much on your fork, causing you to slow down (which was a big problem for me), if you are eating slower maybe it will be less! We still need 20 minutes for our brain to know our tummy is full.

Extending an unemployment hoax
Reinstating emergency unemployment benefits, as President Obama urges, would slow growth and impose unconscionable burdens on the working poor.
State governments provide a basic benefit averaging $300 per week for 26 weeks. During the Great Recession, Washington financed additional benefits for as long as 99 weeks.
With the recovery in its 55th month, the emergency is over. Another extension would make long-term benefits de facto permanent and create another entitlement. Republican leaders are correct to insist that Democrats identify equivalent spending cuts or new sources of revenue.
Advocates argue that the benefits provide the strongest economic stimulus because the unemployed spend whatever money they receive on necessities. But their supporting studies assume other federal programs are not cut or taxes are not raised to finance benefits.
Cutting other outlays, for example on roads and schools, would have an even greater negative impact on GDP and jobs than failing to again extend unemployment benefits because some of the latter would not be spent but rather be used to pay down credit cards and other debt.
Additional taxes to pay for more unemployment benefits would impose a terrible burden on the working poor — the very folks Obama constantly reminds need the most help.
Unemployment benefits are financed by federal and state payroll taxes, which, like the Social Security tax, cut off when a worker's wages exceed a cap established by the various states, according to federal guidelines. The average limit is about $12,000.
Although these taxes are generally paid by employers, economists argue that these taxes reduce the wages employers can pay low-income workers by a similar amount. Indeed, some of the extended unemployment benefits paid during the recession were financed by a special federal levy that hit low-income workers hardest of all, making extended benefits a cruel hoax on the working poor.
Unduly long unemployment benefits in an economy that the president says is picking up steam encourage many unemployed to postpone serious employment searches. From Wall Street to Main Street, white-collar professionals have delayed accepting lower pay and changing occupations by running down savings and collecting maximum unemployment benefits.
Most could easily earn multiples of those amounts even by accepting positions at somewhat lower status than their old jobs. It takes a rather twisted view of social justice to raise taxes on the working poor to pay professionals not to work, but that is exactly what federally-financed extended unemployment benefits do.
A recent study by the nonpartisan National Bureau of Economic Research indicates extended unemployment benefits caused most of the persistently high unemployment after the recession.
And extended benefits discourage workers from moving from high unemployment locations — for example, coal mining communities in West Virginia — to more rapidly growing states such as Texas and South Dakota, where the oil and gas boom is driving growth.
Like so many of Obama's well-intentioned policies, emergency unemployment benefits slow growth, limit jobs creation and curb incentives to work among many well-educated Americans. These place the greatest burdens on the working poor.

Ligonier Valley Rams girls basketball team on a winning streak
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The Ligonier Valley Rams girls basketball team won three Heritage Conference games to extend its overall winning streak to five games.
At Penns Manor on Feb. 1, the Rams faced a strong Comets team. Kyra Ludwig helped start Ligonier Valley off with eight of her team's 10 points in the first quarter. The Rams led, 10-9.
Taylor Rudnik scored seven in the second quarter and Maddy Grimm added six. Ligonier Valley was up, 27-22, at the half. In the third quarter, Grimm scored one basket, putting her at 999 points. Ludwig and Rudnik had the other eight points in the quarter, which ended with the Rams on top, 37-31.
The Comets scored the first basket of the fourth quarter to make it 37-33. But at the 7:19 mark, Grimm sank a 3-pointer to extend the Ligonier Valley lead back to seven and give the senior guard 1,002 points for her career. The game stopped briefly for a celebration of Grimm's accomplishment, which helps cement her legacy as one of the best athletes to ever attend Ligonier Valley High School.
The Comets kept fighting to get back in the game, but the Rams had answers, especially at the foul line, going seven-for-eight as a team in the final quarter. Ligonier Valley won, 56-49.
Grimm and Rudnik each had 17 points and Ludwig was next with 15. Amanda Ross and Stephanie Heming also scored for the Rams. Ligonier Valley won the junior varsity game, 31-14.
On Feb. 4, the Rams played host to the Northern Cambria Colts in a previously postponed game. Seven players scored in the first quarter, as the Rams went up 17-6. Over the course of the second and third quarters, Ligonier Valley outscored the Colts, 41-0. The game ended as a 75-9 victory for the Rams. Ludwig led the way with 13 points. Rudnik and Grimm each added 10. Grimm also contributed 10 steals and 10 assists for a triple-double. Helene Bloom, Heming, Ross, Gina McKlveen, Caitlin Michaels, Madison McLaughlin, Jamie Wynn, and Kari Kuhn also scored. The Rams won the junior varsity game, 29-14.
Ligonier Valley was home again on Feb. 6 with a game against the Saltsburg Trojans. Rudnik scored 11 of her team's 20 points in the first quarter to put Ligonier Valley ahead 20-5. She added nine more in the second quarter as part of a 24-6 onslaught that put the Rams up 44-11 at the half.
The pace slowed down in the second half as the mercy rule went into effect. Ligonier Valley won, 60-18. Rudnik finished with 22 points in all. Ludwig scored 12. Grimm was three statistics away from a quadruple-double with nine points, nine rebounds, nine assists, and 10 steals. Heming, Ross, Wynn and McLaughlin also added points. Ligonier Valley won the junior varsity game, 42-18.
The Rams are now 13-5 overall and 9-4 in the Heritage Conference. They played Feb. 8 at United and will wrap up the regular season at home this week. Ligonier Valley played host to Blairsville Feb. 13 and will meet Purchase Line Friday for senior night at the high school gym. The regional playoffs will begin next week.

Photographer Kari Greer Guest Speaker at Orange Night Reception. Kari Greer will be a guest speaker during Orange Night's reception on Nov. 17 at the White Mountain Annex. A wildland firefighter and contract photographer for the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, Greer is nationally known for the quality of her images, her ability to capture the life of those behind the lines and the capricious nature of fire itself. Greer will speak about her impressions of the Little Bear fire from both sides of the line.
A fire affected her hometown this year as well, so she is eager to share both experiences. Part of the frustration of being a firefighter, she explains, is that she rarely is able to interact with the people whose property she and her crew are protecting. The areas she documents are typically evacuated, and crews are reassigned to other fires before residents are allowed to return. She looks forward to coming back to Ruidoso to see the area and meet some of those affected by the fire.
The idea for Orange Night came after the fire and as people came together to talk about their experiences. Georgia Stacy, an organizer for the event, sees a way to express her feelings while contributing to a greater understanding of what the fire means to her, the community and the forest. "The night sky was the color orange for many of us during the Little Bear fire. Some know fire more intimately now. This is an opportunity to creatively express your feelings as a healing force for the community," she says.
"I am working on talking antlers. I was drawn to all the changes that will be taking place in the forest. The fire is creating shifts internally and externally, as things burned from inside out. The talking antlers are like some ancient scroll one might find to help understand what it was like from the animal's viewpoint."
Stacy emphasizes that Orange Night is a way not only for individuals to express themselves but for the community to come together as well in an act of healing and moving forward. She references Joseph Campbell: "There's another emotion associated with art, which is not of the beautiful, but of the sublime. What we call monsters can be experienced as sublime. They represent powers too vast for the normal forms of life to contain them. Another mode of the sublime is of prodigious energy, force and power."
Stacy and Judy Pekelsma will hang paintings, drawings and mixed media works at the White Mountain Annex beginning Oct. 31. The building will be open during business hours for viewing of the works. Anyone wishing to contribute is encouraged to contact ENMU Ruidoso Community Education at 257-3012. There is a $5 entry fee to cover the costs of the show and refreshments during the reception. All types of works are accepted, and the drawings of children on their feelings on the fire are especially encouraged.

Portnoy, Sheehan, Others To Tour
I say no.
But basically, drummer Mike Portnoy, bassist Billy Sheehan, guitarist Tony MacAlpine and keyboardist Derek Sherinian have revealed they will team up this fall for an extensive tour of Europe and Asia.
The virtuoso band will play an all-instrumental set consisting of material from each of their solo records and their previous collaborations as well as classic instrumental covers and extended solo spots.
All instrumental? You guys can't pull in a singer for a couple of tracks?
This sounds awful, no? Glad it's not coming to America.
The band will play one warm-up show in New York on November 18 at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill, though.
Tickets for that show are on sale now.

In yesterday's post about the Game 3 starter, Moshe argued that Phil Hughes' drastic home-away splits should be considered when deciding whether to use him in the ALDS. Moshe put it well:
If the Yankees win the division, Game 3 would be on the road, while it would be their first home game if they end the season as the wild card team. Burnett has actually been a bit better at home, with a lower ERA and more strikeouts per nine than he has on the road. Conversely, Hughes has been stellar on the road while struggling at home. However, it is important to note that despite Phil's struggles at home, his numbers at Yankee Stadium are still as good, if not better, than Burnett's. I'd say that Hughes should be the favorite for a road Game 3, while this factor is not determinative if the game is at home.
It's true that Hughes has been a better pitcher on the road than at home in 2010. At home this season he's made 16 starts and thrown 94 innings, an average of 5.87 innings per start. In those starts, he has a 4.88 ERA and a 7.0 K/9. His strikeout to walk ratio is 2.43, and he's surrendered an astounding 19 home runs in the New Yankee Stadium. On the road it's a different story. Hughes has made 12 road starts and thrown 69 innings, averaging 5.75 innings per start. On the road his ERA is 3.52, his strikeout rate is 8.0 and his strikeout to walk ratio is an impressive 3.21 K/BB. Notably, Hughes has only given up 5 home runs on the road.
Thanks to the magic of the internet, we can look at the flight path of almost every single home run Hughes has given up at home. I say almost because Hit Tracker Online only has the data on 18 of 19 of Hughes' home home runs. By looking at each one of them, we might learn a bit about why Hughes has given up so many at home this year. Were they a bunch of fluky, just-cleared-the-fence homers? Or something else? Let's dive in after the jump.
Of the 18 available home runs Hughes has yielded at home, 3 of them were categorized by Hit Tracker Online as a No Doubt home run. These were home runs by Rick Ankiel, DeWayne Wise and JD Drew (the links take you to actual video of the home run, and I'd recommend watching them). Ankiel and Drew's home runs were impressive, especially Ankiel's. Wise's however actually hit the foul pole, just inches away from being a foul ball.
There are 15 remaining home runs, and 6 of them were categorized by Hit Tracker Online as "Plenty", meaning that they're better than Lucky but not as strong as No Doubt. The first one (reverse chronological order) was by were hit by David Ortiz, and this was as much of a no-doubter as Drew's above. The same holds with Russell Branyan, who apparently needs to DH for the Yankees next year, Jose Reyes, Adam Lind and Mike Napoli. All of these were hit to right field. The only Plenty that wasn't hit to right field was from Lyle Overbay, who blasted it straight to center.
So far we've looked at 9 of the 18 home runs Hughes yielded at home. 8 of them cleared the fence by a substantial margin and didn't appear to be the function of the ballpark or the weather per se. The other one by Wise was a few inches away from being foul but was well-struck nonetheless. This leaves 9 more to examine.
Vernon Wells' home run is classified as JE/UL, presumably "Just Enough/Unlucky", but watching the video shows that this ball could have easily been classified as a Plenty, and Hit Tracker indicates that it would be a home run in 21 parks. The next one was a home run from Scott Podsednik and was classified as a JE/L by Hit Tracker. Unlike Ankiel's home run in the same game, this was not an impressive home run. The video shows that it went to the shallowest part of right field and banged off the foul pole. A couple of more inches in any direction, really, and this would not have been a home run. Here is the flight path of this home run:
Weak. There are 7 remaining home runs, and Hit Tracker categorized them all as "Just Enough". Their definition of Just Enough is "Means the ball cleared the fence by less than 10 vertical feet, OR that it landed less than one fence height past the fence. These are the ones that barely made it over the fence."
The first Just Enough was a home run by Kevin Cash of the Astros during interleague play in June. The video shows that the ball was very well-struck but didn't clear the fence by much. The video also shows that it was raining at the moment of the home run, which means it was humid in addition to being hot, the two prime factors for maximum distance on fly balls. The flight path of the ball confirms that this home run just barely made it over the fence:
Kevin Cash "Just Enough" HR
The next home run was hit by Jose Reyes on 6/19, the same game in which he blasted a "Plenty". This home run barely cleared the fence. As the video and the flight path confirm, this was a Yankee Stadium Special:
Jose Reyes "Just Enough" HR
Next was a home run by Franklin Gutierrez on 6/29. Like the other two, this one just cleared the fence by a matter of feet. The flight path confirms it:
Franklin Gutierrez "Just Enough"
The next home run is probably the most annoying of all the home runs yielded by Hughes. As the video and flight path confirm, this ball just barely made it out of the park. And by "just barely", I mean "bounced on the wall and kicked into the stands".
Maicer Izturis' "You have to be kidding me" HR
The next one was hit by Miguel Cabrera, an unlikely candidate for a "Just Enough" home run. In fact, the video shows that this one appeared to be the most "legitimate" of all the "Just Enough" home runs, so much so that I wouldn't even consider it a fluky home run. Cabrera essentially muscled a good curveball into the RF bullpen. The flight path shows that the ball landed well within the bullpen, and the total distance on the home run was 405 feet..
Miguel Cabrera "Just Enough but not really" HR
This leaves two more home runs, both hit on 9/5 against Toronto. One was hit by Aaron Hill and the other by John Buck. These home runs were the second and third of the game given up by Hughes, the first one being the "JE/U" home run that Wells hit in the first inning. Hill's home run cleared the left field wall by several feet, and Buck's home run was surprisingly well-hit for a "Just Enough" and cleared the center field wall with relative ease. As "Just Enough" home runs go, these were solid.
Aaron Hill "Just Enough" HR
John Buck "Just Enough" Hr
This concludes the examination of all but one of Hughes' home runs yielded at home. Of the 18 home runs, I would venture to say that 6 of them (Wise, Podsednik, Cash, Reyes, Gutierrez and Izturis) were fluky home runs that could have just as easily been foul balls, bounced of the wall, or caught by an outfielder. This still leaves 12 solid home runs in 94 innings, which certainly seems high. Yet, it's hard to say whether this is something that Hughes will replicate going forward, and accordingly whether his seemingly high home home-run rate is something to fear in the playoffs. More work is needed to evaluate what a reasonable home run rate is for a right-handed fly-ball pitcher accumulating almost 100 innings per year in the New Yankee Stadium. If that rate is similar to Hughes' adjusted rate, then it's possible that his struggles at home should not be feared as much as they were at first glance.

Regina's Riley Dixon runs away from Solon's Conner Wiseman on Sept. 6 in Solon.
- Filed Under
Regina won its 45th consecutive football game Friday but lost its leading rusher for what could be several weeks.
Senior Riley Dixon injured his left ankle late in the second quarter of Friday's 41-16 victory over West Branch. The X-rays were negative, but Dixon is not expected to play against undefeated Eddyville-Blakesburg on Friday.
"The good news is it wasn't broke or anything like that," Regina coach Marv Cook said. "At least that's great news. But it's going to take a little while to recover from the sprain part of it." ...

When it comes to the threads worn by staff, volunteers and torchbearers during the 2012 Olympics, Adidas is intent on making them as green as possible.
The sports giant and Olympics sponsor announced earlier this week that the 70,000 participants will all wear clothing (Buttons, polyester and cotton) made from recycled materials. There are also plans for special "recycled" shoes and the world's first 100% recycled water bottle. (Why do I find this hard to believe that one doesn't already exist? Really?)
In terms of the athletes, Stella McCartney is leading that charge and reportedly producing some spectacular stuff. "I have seen the prototypes already and I think what she is designing is truly phenomenal," said Adidas Chief Executive Herbert Hainer. No word yet on just how green the athlete uniforms will be, but if the volunteer threads are any indication, you can expect recycled materials are at the very least part of the plan.

The two largest economies in the Asia-Pacific region are bashing one another over a small archipelago in the South China Sea. Japan claims it owns the group of islands it calls the Senkaku Islands. China claims it owns the same group of islands it calls the Diaoyu Islands. So contested are the islands that some are suggesting the conflict between China and Japan could erupt into war, with the US caught in the middle.

PAUL, JAMES CHRISTOPHER (1852–1935). James Christopher Paul, Panhandle banker, son of James M. and Susan (Kiger) Paul, was born on September 19, 1852, in Fairfield, Rockbridge County, Virginia. He attended Illinois State Normal University at Bloomington and became a teacher at Waynesboro, Iowa, and at Nunda, Illinois, where on September 1, 1886, he married a student, Nina Darby. They moved to Wichita, Kansas, which was then experiencing a boom, and Paul engaged in the real estate and insurance businesses. The boom in Wichita collapsed, however, and in January 1888 Paul moved to the frontier town of Panhandle City, Texas. Panhandle City (now Panhandle) was the new terminus of the Southern Kansas (Santa Fe) Railway, which was intended to build onward through New Mexico. At the same time the Fort Worth and Denver City Railway was proposing to intersect the Southern Kansas at Panhandle City. The prospect of these rail connections, in Paul's words, "gave to Carson County a greater prominence than any other Panhandle county then enjoyed." Paul arrived in the small town as treasurer of the Southern Kansas. He held this position for the next twenty years, moving with the rail headquarters to Amarillo in 1900.
With the backing of Kansas friends and capitalization of $5,000, he opened the Panhandle Bank on May 6, 1888, in a two-story frame structure in Panhandle City. The bank and offices for lawyer Temple L. Houston occupied the ground floor, and the second floor served as the Paul home. Paul and his wife had two sons. At the time of Nina's death on December 27, 1892, the Paul family was living in the Square House, which became the central building of the Carson County Square House Museum complex. On April 28, 1904, Paul married Cora Bryant in Paris, Texas. In 1888, when Carson County was organized, he was elected the first county treasurer, a post he held for four terms. He was instrumental in selling $8,000 in bonds for the construction of a jail and courthouse. He studied law under Temple Houston and passed the bar but never practiced. In 1898 he was elected judge of Carson County and thereafter was known as Judge Paul.
In addition to founding the first bank of Panhandle City, Paul helped establish a number of other financial institutions and was active in promoting the banking industry. He was one of the organizers of the Amarillo National Bank in 1892 and was its president from 1892 to 1896. In 1893 he became sole owner of the Panhandle Bank. In 1896 he was a cofounder of the Panhandle Bankers Association and was named its first president. In 1906 Paul helped to organize the Amarillo Bank and Trust Company and then served as its first president. He and his son Howard organized the Paul Bank in Slaton in 1911. In 1917 they had it chartered as the First State Bank of Slaton and then sold it to other investors. Father and son purchased an interest in the Guaranty State Bank in Amarillo in 1919. They soon acquired a controlling interest in this bank, which the Paul family maintained until the 1970s. Meanwhile the bank itself evolved into the American State Bank and then the American National Bank. Paul was also one of the organizers of the First National Bank of Panhandle, which opened in 1926 in response to an oil boom in Carson and Hutchinson counties. The Panhandle Bank closed in 1942 and merged with the First National.
When the Francklyn Land and Cattle Company, for whom Paul had worked as a grazing-land leasing agent, began to sell its lands in the late 1890s and early 1900s, Paul was offered first choice as a token of appreciation for his services. On May 2, 1902, he selected four sections near the town of Panhandle. He also purchased land in Bailey and Lamb counties from the XIT Ranch, which he sold to his sons in 1911. Throughout his life he remained involved in ranching and farming in the Panhandle. When West Air Express (later Trans World Airlines) began transcontinental service to Amarillo, Paul and Fletcher Lusby, another pioneer of the Texas Panhandle, were the only passengers on the first flight from Los Angeles to Amarillo on May 29, 1929. Paul died in Panhandle on March 3, 1935, and was buried in Llano Cemetery, Amarillo.

In a criminal case, most lawyers need to figure out what motions to file. A big part of this is to sit down with the government's evidence and try to figure out what parts of the government's case came from something that violated the constitution.
It's frustrating when some part of the evidence came from a search warrant - challenges to search warrants are tricky, because a judge already signed off on the warrant. It's not to say it can't be done, it's just different than challenging, say, if the FBI ran into a client's office and took a bunch of stuff without a warrant.
Sometimes you can challenge a warrant if the affidavit in support of the warrant clearly didn't establish probable cause to think there was going to be evidence where the cops searched.
The trouble with that is that normally the district court judge won't let you examine any witnesses to rule on the issue - if part of the point of filing pretrial motions is to learn more about the government's case and learn more about what their witnesses are going to be like, then this kind of a challenge to a warrant doesn't get you what you want.
Another thing you can do, though, is challenge the warrant because the cops lied or left something out of the application for the warrant that was really important. This is called a Franks challenge.
As the Seventh Circuit explained in United States v. McMurtrey,
In Franks v. Delaware, 438 U.S. 154 (1978), the Supreme Court held that when a defendant makes a substantial preliminary showing that the police procured a warrant to search his property with deliberate or reckless misrepresentations in the warrant affidavit, and where such statements were necessary to the finding of probable cause, the Fourth Amendment entitles the defendant to an evidentiary hearing to show the warrant was invalid.
So, when is it that a person bringing a Franks challenge has made that preliminary showing? That's the subject of United States v. McMurtrey.
But first, the Seventh Circuit explains what the district court's options are when a Franks challenge to a warrant has been made:
A district court that is in doubt about whether to hold a Franks hearing has discretion to hold a so-called "pre-Franks" hearing to give the defendant an opportunity to supplement or elaborate on the original motion. Though permissible, this procedural improvisation is not without risk, as the sparse case law indicates. In such a pre-Franks hearing, the natural temptation for the court will be to invite and consider a response from the government. However, the court should not give the government an opportunity to present its evidence on the validity of the warrant without converting the hearing into a full evidentiary Franks hearing, including full cross-examination of government witnesses. We emphasize that the option to hold such a limited pre- Franks hearing belongs to the district court, not the defendant. If the defendant's initial Franks motion does not make the required "substantial preliminary showing," the court need not hold a pre-Franks hearing to provide the defendant a further opportunity to do so.
I've never seen a district court order a pre-Franks hearing. Now I kind of want to see one - it looks cool. The government doesn't get to talk, but the defense lawyer does. Awesome. It's like the inverse of a grand jury proceeding.
In Mr. McMurtrey's case, there were two affidavits in support of the warrant. They contradicted each other. So one had to be wrong.
At least one.
So, Mr. McMurtrey made a sufficient showing to get a Franks hearing.
That's not quite what the district court wanted to do though.
As the Seventh Circuit explained it
Rather than hold a full Franks hearing, however, the district court held a truncated pre-Franks hearing. The district court permitted the government to offer additional evidence to explain the discrepancies in the affidavits. That evidence should have required a full Franks hearing, yet the defendant was not permitted full cross-examination on the government's new evidence. The court then relied on the untested government evidence to find that the defendant had failed to make a showing sufficient to obtain a full Franks hearing.
Indeed, the defense lawyer started to cross the cop on his affidavit but was shut down on the grounds that the district court wasn't having a Franks hearing.
Because the court didn't give Mr. McMurtrey his full hearing, the case was remanded and his conviction was vacated.
