Judges use Obama’s own words to halt deportation amnesty

A federal appeals court said President Obama’s own words claiming powers to “change the law” were part of the reason it struck down his deportation amnesty, in a ruling late Monday that reaffirmed the president must carry out laws and doesn’t have blanket powers to waive them.

The 2-1 ruling by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals punctures Mr. Obama’s immigration plans and is the latest in a series of major court rulings putting limits on the president’s claims of expansive executive powers to enact his agenda without having to get congressional buy-in.

In an opinion freighted with meaning for the separation of powers battles, Judge Jerry E. Smith, writing for himself and Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod, singled out Mr. Obama’s own claim that he acted to rewrite the law because Congress wouldn’t pass the bill he wanted.

Frying food in LARD is healthier because vegetable oils release toxic chemicals

Frying food in lard is healthier because vegetable oils release toxic chemicals which can cause cancer, heart disease and even dementia when heated, new research has found.

Oils rich in polyunsaturated fats, such as sunflower oil and corn oil release high levels of aldehydes, which are linked to various diseases.

And while olive oil appears to be a much better option to avoid this, butter, lard and coconut oil outperform them all.

Governor Larry Hogan Announces Funding to Fight Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault

Over $2 Million in Federal Grants Distributed to 57 Agencies Statewide

ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Larry Hogan today announced that the Governor’s Office of Crime Control & Prevention has awarded a total of $2,290,583 in federal Violence Against Women Act grants to fund endeavors to help protect women and families from domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking crimes. This federal funding is from the Office on Violence Against Women at the U.S. Department of Justice, and is authorized by the Violence Against Women Act.

“Our administration is committed to protecting victims of domestic violence and sexual assault,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “These efforts and resources will save lives and give many families the ability to get the treatment and support they need to heal after the trauma of domestic violence and sexual assault.”
The Violence Against Women Act was reauthorized in 2013 and is a grant that allocates its funding to services, training, law enforcement officers, and prosecutors. Agencies are encouraged to forge lasting partnerships between the criminal justice system and victim advocacy organizations, and to look beyond traditional resources by partnering with community and faith-based organizations to respond more vigorously to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence. 

“The grant funding we are announcing today is vital to Maryland’s continuing efforts to combat domestic violence, sexual assault, and other violent crimes against women,” said Christopher Shank, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Crime Control & Prevention. “Organizations from every region in the state will use this funding for programs in Maryland courts, state’s attorneys’ offices, law enforcement agencies, and nonprofit organizations to hold offenders accountable, protect victims, and help families rebuild their lives.”

EAST CHICAGO COUNCILMAN RE-ELECTED DESPITE MURDER AND DRUG CHARGES

Police say Councilman found with 73 pounds of marijuana and more than $100,000 in cash

Despite being arrested on drug and murder charges, an East Chicago city councilman was re-elected to his office in Tuesday’s elections.

East Chicago 3rd District Councilman Robert “Coop” Battle cruised to re-election even though he is accused in the Oct. 12 shooting of Reimundo Camarillo Jr. That isn’t all. As The Munster Times reports, the councilman is also facing drug charges stemming from a traffic stop earlier in the year.

Police say that Councilman Battle was found with 73 pounds of marijuana and more than $100,000 cash during a traffic stop in Porter County, Indiana.

Even with all this legal trouble on his plate, no one filed to run against him, and he won re-election on Tuesday with his unopposed candidacy.

Class Clown Or Gifted Student? It's A Matter Of Perspective

Who doesn't love a class clown? That perfectly timed joke about the ancient Greek poet looking nothing like Homer Simpson is fun for everyone. Unless you're the teacher ... trying to teach a lesson about the Odyssey.

As a teacher, the class clown is often your nemesis. I know this from experience: I taught ninth grade last school year.

They derail lessons, steal the spotlight and, to make matters worse, sometimes they're actually funny. It's not easy enforcing class rules when you're laughing.

What if we looked at class clowns differently? What if, instead of seeing them as a nuisance, we saw them as gifted? A little misguided, sure, but still gifted.

That change in perspective can make a huge difference for some students and their teachers.

Lawrence Davis, a senior at Dover High School in Delaware, is the perfect example.

He's the quintessential class clown, overconfident and mischievous. But also genuinely personable. He had me laughing from the moment I met him.

According to him, every teacher loves him. "They enjoy me," he says. "I'm not gonna say I'm the life of the class, but I bring the class to life."

Non-American citizen arrested for voting in Texas — FIVE times – faces up to 20 years

A Texas woman, who is not a citizen of the United States, was arrested Friday for having illegally voted in Dallas County — five times.

Rosa Maria Ortega, 35, is presently a resident of the Tarrant County Jail, where she is being held on a $10,000 bond, according to the Dallas-Fort Worth NBC affiliate Channel 5 News, which reported:

Ortega is married to an American and is living legally in this country, but is not a citizen and therefore, not qualified to vote, said Harry White, who supervises public integrity and white collar crime investigations for the Tarrant County District Attorney.

Ortega applied to vote in Tarrant County and acknowledged on the application form that she was not a citizen, White said. The county rejected her application and notified her she was not qualified to vote.

Could A Nail Art Printer Be Girls' Gateway To The Tech World?

With all the talk about getting more women in technology, I'm always looking for female-run companies. Recently, I got an email from Preemadonna, which bills itself as a San Francisco-based company that focuses on using technology to provide lifestyle products for women and girls.

That sounded good. Then, I looked at the product.

It's called the Nailbot. And its premise is to instantly print art onto your fingernails using your smartphone.

Is this the cutting edge of women-centered technological innovation?

I asked CEO and Co-founder Pree Walia, and the way she laid it out, it was like the Nailbot was a gateway drug for girls to the world of technology: Preemadonna is trying to meet many young girls in a place where they can express themselves and have fun.

Laurel hospital to cease inpatient services, upsetting community

The last time a hospital closed in Maryland, Bill Clinton was president, Celine Dion was at the top of the music charts and Michael Jordan announced his retirement from basketball.

It was 1999 and Liberty Medical Center, New Children's Hospital and Church Hospital in Baltimore all shuttered their doors, blaming low occupancy, steep revenue declines and the challenge of competing as a small hospital.

Sixteen years later, Laurel Regional Hospital is ending its status as a full-service hospital — a move that has triggered outrage and protest from politicians, union leaders and residents.

"The whole situation has put a bad taste in people's mouths," said Laurel Mayor Craig A. Moe. "People are very frustrated. They are very concerned and don't know what is going on."

The dramatic changes at Laurel Regional, which has already shut the maternal and child health department, come as a new wave of hospital closures is hitting the country. Hospitals face increased revenue pressures from Obamacare, and in Maryland from a special agreement with federal government, pushing care out of hospitals and placing more focus on preventive medicine.

Szeliga, a Republican who represents parts of Baltimore and Harford counties, made the announcement at a news conference at City Dock in Annapolis. She said she will focus he campaign on three main areas: improving our quality of life, improving our security, and improving our education system.

“There was a time when Congress worked and provided the basic needs using the tax dollars we sent them and they protected our freedoms," said Szeliga in a statement. "The people we send to Washington have to roll up their sleeves, stop the fighting and work together on issues that are not political, not partisan, but personal to families across our state and our nation. Government has gotten too big and it’s infringed on our liberty and freedom.”
