A teen born with no hands is humiliated after being kicked off a roller coaster at SeaWorld - one she says shes been allowed to ride before.

According to the amusement park, 17-year-old Katie Champagne didn't meet safety requirements, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

My heart just sank, she said, explaining how a SeaWorld Orlando employee told her she had to exit the Kraken coaster.

I was like, Oh no, not again, she said.

While Champagne insists the park has allowed her to ride the coaster before, its not the first time safety rules have prohibited her from having fun. She recounted to the Sentinel being barred from Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure in December.

In both situations, Champagne was told she couldnt ride because of her disability. Without hands, she wouldn't be able to grasp the pull-down harness, employees stated.

Our policies regarding guests with disabilities were written in consultation with ride safety experts, said SeaWorld Orlando spokesman Nick Gollattscheck.



According to Tom Schroder, a Universal spokesman, the theme parks decision was correct, and aligned with years of experience in this area.

Still, the distressed teen and her parents are upset, and lobbying for the parks to change their policies.

They argue that Champagne gets along perfectly fine without hands. She is a co-captain on her high school equestrian team, an aspiring artist, and can use her arms to navigate her iPhone as quickly as any other teenager or to hang onto a coaster's harness.

But it might not be so simple.

Making exceptions opens theme parks to liability and park-goers to danger, said James Barber, a member of the National Association of Amusement Ride Safety Officials.

Safety rules aren't just put there arbitrarily, he told the Sentinel. They dont put those restrictions there to be mean.

Ron Paul On Donald Trump Endorsement: 'I Was The Only Candidate Who Didn't Kiss His Ring'
:clap:

It's happened 13 times since 1936. Call it the IBD January Incumbent Barometer.

An incumbent president faces a challenger ... and 13 out of 13 times the stock market picks the winner in January.

Say again?

Here's how it works: When the stock market scores a big gain in January about 6% or more the challenger beats the incumbent president every time, or as we shall see, almost every time. When the stock market goes up or down modestly in January 4% or less in either direction the incumbent wins almost every time.

This January the Nasdaq rose 8%, signaling a loss for President Obama, according to the IBD JIB.

You can write this off as wishful thinking by Obama's critics, fearful thinking by his supporters, a silly ham-on-wry exercise, or just a coincidence emerging from data mining.

But just as the January barometer for stocks supposedly signals the market's direction for the year, this political January barometer does the same for incumbent presidents with one catch.

The January barometer for stocks has sometimes been wrong. The last time the JIB missed was 1932. Since then, the JIB has been on a roll. Consider the record:

Nasdaq up 5.8% in January 1992, and challenger Clinton wins in November.

Nasdaq up 7% in January 1980, and challenger Reagan wins.

S&P 500 up 11.8% in January 1976, and challenger Carter wins.

In all three cases, the electorate was pining for a change, whether the aftermath of Watergate, the dismal economy of the late 1970s or President George H.W. Bush's failure to keep his "read my lips, no new taxes" promise.

Indeed, the stock market typically looks ahead and reacts before headlines become reality. So there may be more at work than an uncanny streak.

The JIB has been just as good with incumbent victories. In January 2004, the Nasdaq rose 3.1% and Bush won in November. (See table for the complete tally.)

The more modest moves in January signaled an incumbent victory. The big up moves in January signaled a challenger victory.

The exception was 1932. The Dow fell 1.7%, a modest move which should've been good for incumbent Herbert Hoover, according to the JIB. But FDR, the challenger, won.

If Obama is re-elected, he will be the first to beat the JIB since that Great Depression election. But if the JIB performs in its usual near-perfect fashion, look for a Republican victory in November.

The traumatized grandmother of an unarmed teen killed by cops as she looked on helplessly was reportedly held in police custody for seven hours after the killing.

Patricia Hartley said police threw her to the ground and stuck a gun in her face after Ramarley Graham, 18, was killed inside the bathroom of his familys Bronx apartment.

The weeping woman was also denied access to her heart medication, said Assemblyman Eric Stevenson (D-Bronx), who helped win her release from the 47th Precinct stationhouse.

I asked the district attorney a simple question: Is this woman being held against her will? Stevenson recounted Saturday. Within 10 minutes, she was released.

According to Stevenson, the 58-year-old woman was inside the apartment with her 6-year-old grandson when Graham burst inside Thursday afternoon.

She ran behind the cops, who chased her grandson into the bathroom of the Bronx home where Graham was fatally shot once in the chest, police said.

Hartley, although at best a witness to the slaying, was taken by cops to the Bronx precinct stationhouse and kept away from family, friends and a lawyer, her supporters charged.

It was unclear whether the NYPD was investigating the accusations, but Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Friday night that the story was worthy of an internal probe.

Obviously, its a very, very traumatic situation for the grandmother, Kelly said. She was present when this happened. And she certainly should have been shown a sensitivity to that issue.

Kelly added that he was unaware of the mistreatment complaints.

The Rev. Al Sharpton raised funds Saturday to help cover the cost of a funeral and burial for Graham with Grammy-winning singer Roberta Flack kicking in $500.

The money would also help fly the boys grandfather to New York from Jamaica.

Grahams parents joined Sharpton for his weekly Saturday radio program, although they declined to speak with reporters.

Graham died at Montefiore Medical Center after the officers chased him from the street into the apartment and then into the bathroom where his blood was spattered on the shower curtain.

Officer Richard Haste, who fired the fatal bullet, and Sgt. Scott Morris were both placed on modified duty for the duration of the investigation.

Both were stripped of their guns and placed on desk duty.

Although the teen was unarmed, one of the two officers was shouting, Gun! Gun! in the seconds before the fatal bullet was fired.

Graham ignored police orders to stop, setting off the deadly chase.

Maybe The Donald's endorsement isn't such a good thing for Mitt Romney, after all.

A sizable 41% of Nevada Facebook users say Donald Trump's recent endorsement of the Republican presidential candidate negatively affects their view of the ex-Massachusetts governor, according to a new poll.

That's in comparison to just 9.6% who say Trump's backing positively affects their view of Romney.

Meanwhile, according to the Facebook/Politico poll, roughly half 49% say the real estate mogul's endorsement doesn't matter either way.

The poll was released Saturday, the day of the Silver State caucuses, which Romney is expected to sweep.

Trump isn't the only GOP figure that has a negative effect on a candidate. According to a recent Pew poll, Trump tied Sarah Palin with 28% of respondents saying either of their endorsements would make them less likely to vote for a candidate they back.

The Politico poll surveyed 1,150 adult Facebook users in Nevada on Friday.

As the Bronx community met with the New York City Police Department on Saturday to talk about Thursday's shooting of 18-year-old Ramarley Graham, surveillance video that was released and first aired on NY1 shows the unarmed teenager entering his home moments before he was killed.

Authorities say Ramarley Graham fled from narcotics officers who approached him on White Plains Road and 228th Street in Wakefield at around 3 p.m. Thursday.

The officers put over the radio two separate times that they thought Graham had a gun. Police say they ordered the teen to stop but he went into his house on 229th Street.

Officers followed Graham into the house's second-floor bathroom, where the teen was fatally shot and found to be unarmed.

The pursuit was captured on surveillance video released on Saturday by the lawyer of the landlord of Graham's family.

In that video, Graham can be seen walking up to the house and entering through the front door. Seconds later, police officers are seen running up to the house. Some try to kick open the front door, while others search for alternate entrances.

Minutes later, the police entered the house through a first-floor entrance in the landlord's apartment and then opened the front door to let other officers enter.

"Clearly they were intent on getting into the house, they were intent on capturing this young man and they were intent on doing whatever they did. It's unfortunate, said Neville Mitchell, the attorney for Graham's landlord.

The officers then followed Graham to the second-floor apartment, knocked and then kicked open the door and found Graham in the bathroom, where he was shot moments later.

Mitchell said the officers had plenty of time to calm down before entering the house.

"They're outside for some time in the front. They go to the back, which is where we're standing, and for several minutes this young man is apparently inside the house. And for several minutes there, outside the house, I don't know what they're doing there in terms of communicating with their command, or if they are talking about what's going on," said Mitchell. "What's clear, though, is that there was enough time for them to reflect on what is happening and this tragedy should not have happened."

Graham's six-year-old brother and grandmother were in the home at the time and his little brother is seen on the video being consoled by officers.

Police say they found marijuana in the home and think Graham may have been trying to flush some down the toilet when police entered the home.

Meanwhile, the local community continued to react to the shooting and met with Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson and law enforcement on Saturday afternoon.

What I told the community was just an outline of how we handle these cases. The fact that our presence is there, from the day of the incident we had assistant [district attorneys] there, they were there again yesterday. They've been briefing the chief of the Homicide Bureau, said Johnson.

The NYPD is reviewing a copy of the surveillance video and is continuing to investigate. In the meantime, a police officer and a sergeant who were on the scene have been placed on modified duty.
