Ashton Jojo, 11-Year-Old Girl, Dies Of Electrocution While Playing Mini Golf In Florida

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A medical examiner says an 11-year-old New York girl was electrocuted while trying to retrieve a ball from a pond at a time-share resort's miniature golf course near Orlando.

Orange County deputies say Ashton Jojo cried out in pain Wednesday afternoon as she stepped into the 2-foot-deep pond, according to the Associated Press. Orange Lake Resort guest Christopher Burges of Alabama heard her screams and tried to rescue her. He was also injured.

The girl died shortly after arriving at Florida Hospital Celebration.

The resort released a statement reporting that a third guest was also injured, adding, "The miniature golf facility where the incident happened is closed and will not re-open until further notice. Our thoughts and prayers are with the guests, their families and friends during this time," Reuters reported.

A building safety department official told WKMG that the electrocution may have been caused by a possible faulty pump connected to the wrong circuit breaker.

The station also reported that the resort's golf course was connected to several electrical code violations.

Authorities say the Latham, N.Y., girl turned 11 on Friday. She was visiting Orlando with her parents and brother.

Next stop for Arizona immigration law: Back to the courts?

Damian Dovarganes / AP

Members of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles hold a rally in response to the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on Arizona's immigration law, outside the Los Angeles Federal Court building on Monday.

By James Eng, msnbc.com

The ?show me your papers? provision of Arizona?s immigration law that was left standing by the U.S. Supreme Court is likely to wind up in a familiar place ? back in the courtroom.

The nation?s top justices on Monday struck down three sections of SB 1070 but unanimously upheld the most-discussed provision: Section 2(B) requires police to check the immigration status of people they stop, detain or arrest for other legitimate reasons ?if there?s reasonable suspicion? the person is in the country illegally.

But exactly how local police will go about enforcing that provision is raising more questions than answers. Enforcement had been put on hold pending the Supreme Court decision; lower courts must lift the injunction before it can take effect.


Even the?Supreme Court justices hinted that they expect the?provision to be legally challenged again.

?There is a basic uncertainty about what the law means and how it will be enforced. At this stage, without the benefit of a definitive interpretation from the state courts, it would be inappropriate to assume 2(B) will be construed in a way that creates a conflict with federal law,? the high court said.

The Supreme Court declared three parts of Arizona's immigration law unconstitutional, but unanimously upheld the most controversial part. Now the high court is expected to make a ruling on "Obamacare" on Thursday. NBC's Pete Williams reports and NBC's Chuck Todd and Professor Noah Feldman weigh in.

?This opinion does not foreclose other preemption and constitutional challenges to the law as interpreted and applied after it goes into effect.?

The American Civil Liberties Union says it is exploring legal challenges to keep ?show me your papers? from ever taking effect.

?The Supreme Court vacated the injunction against it but took pains to point out the potential constitutional problems that are inherent in Section 2(B) and drew a firm line in the sand that the state cannot cross,? said Cecillia Wang, director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project. ?We are going to be in court bringing new claims and evidence to stop 2(B) again.?

Among the possible claims are that the provision violates the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures and that it invites racial profiling, ACLU officials say.

Joe Rubio, lead organizer for the Arizona Interfaith Network, a coalition of religious groups that opposed SB 1070, said the provision ?leaves a nebulous area? if it goes into effect.

MSNBC's Thomas Roberts talks to NBC News Justice Correspondent Pete Williams and Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County, Ariz., shown here, about the ripple effect of the Supreme Court's ruling.

?It?s going to be important that the state monitors very closely how police deal with immigrants during regular stops and make sure racial profiling does not occur,? Rubio said.

?I think we?re going to have a few months here where people are suspending judgment to see how it?s going to be implemented.?

Jim Gilchrist, founder and president of the Minuteman Project, an anti-illegal immigration group that recruits volunteers to patrol the U.S. border with Mexico, said the Supreme Court decision ?left vague? the fate of enforcement of immigration laws by local police.

?Police will be able to ask (about immigration status); however, that?s all they can do,? he said.

?Nobody?s really getting serious about this. Everybody keeps kicking the ball around the court.?

The interpretation of Section 2(B)?also could put law officers in a precarious bind. There are no written instructions on how long local police must wait for federal immigration officials to respond, for example, when they encounter someone they suspect is illegal.? And immigration checks could open police up to accusations of racial profiling.

"Talk about 'no win' - if they find the person is not in authorized status, what do they do? Hold them for ICE which doesn't want them? Charge them with some state crime?" said Margaret Stock, an immigration attorney who has?has testified before Congress on immigration, homeland security and military issues.

"If they make a mistake, they get sued. If they make too many mistakes, the rest of the statute gets enjoined as unconstitutional as enforced."

"We're going to get sued if we do. We're going to get sued if we don't. That's a terrible position to put law enforcement officers in," Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, whose territory covers much of southern Arizona, told The Associated Press.

Tucson police Chief Roberto Villasenor told the AP he estimates the statute will result in 50,000 additional calls a year to federal immigration authorities in his city alone.

Romney pledges immigration reform, wants more state 'latitude'

Suspects for minor crimes like shoplifting or vandalism, who would normally be released with a citation, must be booked into custody if immigration authorities "don't answer the phone, they never call us back after we talk to them or whatever," Villasenor said.

The Department of Homeland Security acknowledges that the provision raises the possibility that its offices might be flooded by calls for verification checks.

?The Court?s decision not to strike down Section 2?at this time will make DHS? work more challenging,? DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a statement.

Jon Feere, of the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington-based think tank that advocates for limited legal immigration, suggested that enforcement will ultimately lead to tougher immigration laws once Congress or the courts are forced to act definitively.

?There will now be an extensive record every time Arizona contacts ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) about an illegal alien detained by local law enforcement. When the White House inevitably refuses to take an illegal alien into custody, forcing Arizona to release the alien back out onto the streets, it will become a national story if the alien goes on to commit a serious crime. Lax federal enforcement of immigration laws will be to blame,? he wrote in a blog post.

Five other states have passed laws similar to Arizona?s --?Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah.

The ACLU says it has raised nearly $8.8 million in a special fund to challenge ?show me your papers? laws in Arizona and those other states. And it?s ready to go to court again.

?If state governments enact new immigration bills, we say bring it on, we will see them in court,? ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said Monday.

The Justice Department has set up a federal hotline for the public to report potential civil rights concerns regarding the Arizona law. The phone number is 1-855-353-1010. The email is: SB1070(at)usdoj.gov.

1)? Matching coffee mugs from Anthropologie ? I originally picked out this??T??mug for my husband as a souvenir from?Seattle?a?few weeks ago.? Then I decided to get the ?S? mug for myself so we could match when we have our morning coffee together?at the?breakfast table on the weekends.? Which almost never happens?? who has time to sit down and have coffee in our house?

2)? Drinking Green tea instead of Coffee ? While I was?on vacation?for two weeks, which included?traveling from Georgia to Seattle, I lost a lot of sleep (crossing three time zones in 24 hours) so I was drinking coffee every day.??Add in the extra sugary treats?and not so healthy foods I consumed on?vacation,?and I needed to detox!? Once I got home from vacation, I started drinking more?green tea instead of coffee which I enjoy both?hot and iced.

The inspirational quotes on the tea bags are just a bonus!

3)? Testing new recipes I find on Pinterest ? Last weekend I bought?a pint of freshly picked blueberries from the local farmer?s market.?A picture of a blueberry donut on?Jenna?s?blog made my mouth water and my creative juices start flowing.??Instead of making my predictable (but delicious) Blueberry Banana muffins, I was inspired to make my own donuts.??I found myself?clicking on over?to Pinterest to?search for recipes.? Two of them looked easy and appetizing, so I made two different batches for taste testing.

??DSC_0861

DSC_0864

The first recipe included cake flour, buttermilk, applesauce and fresh blueberries (of course).? While I did not make any changes to the batter recipe, I did switch out the orange juice for fresh squeezed lemon juice in the glaze.? Before the donut pan went into the oven, I?was worried because the batter looked thin but it ended up making beautiful donuts.??After cooling for about 10 minutes, I dipped the spongy donuts in the?sweet, lemony?glaze.? They tasted light, fresh and photographed beautifully.??

DSC_0869

DSC_0873

The second recipe?included all-purpose flour,?whole wheat flour, applesauce and almond milk.? That combined with the blueberry yogurt (or in my case, plain yogurt with added?crushed blueberries)?gave the second batch of donuts a?darker color.? This batter was THICK, which made it difficult to spoon into the donut pan without over filling.? I also thought the crushed blueberries in the glaze made them less visually appealing but they tasted more like a cake donut than the first recipe.?

My biggest mistake was not eating them all right away, when I woke up the next morning?my day-old glazed donuts were soggy and sad-looking.?

4) These cute little pumpkin shaped zucchini ? ?I bought at the local Farmers Market last weekend.? Their unique shape caught my eye and by the time I was forking over my three crumpled dollar bills, I was already dreaming up new recipes for them;?sliced and grilled, oven fried chips, sliced and layered in a lasagna? oh, I could go on and on.

DSC_0846

DSC_0849

5) Setting the table for one ? Personally I like my house to be peaceful, quiet and a relaxing environment for the entire family.??I have?yet to actually live in that house but it lives on in my fantasies.? So?last Sunday evening after?caring my for daugther who had?strep throat, cooking my Supper Sundays and looking?ahead to a busy week at work I decided to take a time out for myself.??Setting?just one?place mat, napkin, glass and fork on the round patio table in our backyard made the kids give me a ?mom?s crazy look?.? Luckily my husband knew this was a sign that mommy wanted some alone time and told the kids to go play in their rooms.??We enjoyed a relaxing ten minutes outside (I let my husband sit with me, I just didn?t make him a plate of food) then went back in to deal with the mess our kids had made in our absence.

6) My new double-insulated smoothie cup -?which inspired the return of Green Monster smoothies!??Part of the SWAG that I received from BlogHer Food a few weeks ago, this cup does not sweat on the outside even when it has a luscious frozen smoothie on the inside.? I blended 1 cup of almond milk, 1/2 cup of frozen mango chunks, 1/2 frozen banana, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, a large handful of?baby spinach leaves, a drizzle of honey and 5-6 ice cubes in the blender.? It makes a large serving so I?shared the smoothie with my 3 yr old son.? When my daughter came home?from a playdate, she saw the?blender on the?counter and a?little of?the smoothie left in my cup.? After stealing?my last few sips,?she asked me to make her?another?spinach and banana smoothie??that girl knows how to make her mommy proud!

DSC_0908

7) Coconut Palm Sugar -?Another?SWAG item from the BlogHer Food conference, this organic sweetener can be used as a substitute for brown sugar in baking or sprinkled on top of oatmeal, muffins or cereal.? I used it in a new recipe which leads me to #8?

DSC_0915

?8) Trying?MORE new recipes I find on Pinterest - like this baked oatmeal dish.? I?tweaked the ingredients a little by using regular rolled oats, substituting the coconut palm sugar for the brown sugar and omitting the fresh raspberries.? I also?poured the?wet ingredients into the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl, then folded the sliced bananas into the batter.??The aroma in the kitchen was similar to chocolate chip cookies so the kids felt like they were getting dessert instead of dinner.? Yes, I served them dessert for dinner last night.? They loved it and they did not go to bed hungry so it was a win-win for everyone.?

DSC_0920

DSC_0918

9) Recreating my favorite restaurant recipes at home -?like this Chicken Burrito Bowl which is inspired by Chipotle.? I love Chipotle.? My husband loves Chipotle.? However my wallet does not like to go to Chipotle as often as my stomach does, so I decided to?create my own chicken burrito bowls at home.??This time I even?prepared my own cilantro-lime brown rice, roasted fresh corn, seasoned the black beans and made fresh creamy guacamole.??My favorite jar of Texas salsa and leftover chicken breasts that my husband grilled the day?before completed?the Chipotle inspired chicken burrito bowl.

???DSC_0927

DSC_0933

Hopefully I left you with your mouth-watering!? I?ll be posting the recipe for these burrito bowls later this week!

What is one thing you are LOVING right now?? A new necklace, pair of shoes, refreshing summer drink or a new Pinterest inspired recipe??
