In small-town community centers, schools, churches and a vast city
convention center, immigrant advocates are spreading the word about
President Barack Obama's plan to give millions of immigrants living in
the U.S. illegally a temporary reprieve.
The November announcement promising work permits
and protection from deportation made a splash, but lawyers say the
events are crucial to dispel rumors about eligibility, ward off fraud,
and help immigrants determine what they might need to apply.
In Los Angeles, advocates are hosting an
information session for as many as 10,000 people at the city's
convention center Sunday.

Nativity Scene at the Vatican
The Pope greeted three Mexican craftsmen from the state of Oaxaca who designed the Christmas decorations and Nativity Scene that decorate the Vatican. This craftsman made the Nativity Scene that now stands tall in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall. It is great, great, really beautiful!
Angelico and his son worked for months to come out with their unique design. "I didn't have a lot of time to design it... I finished it in 60. I had to work all night and day.”
Among other gifts, Mexican artists also gave the Pope other Christmas decorations for this tree. They also got to see Pope Francis in St. Peter's Square.
This group from Southern Mexico, brought traditional music and folkloric dances.

In 1908 an explosion in Tunguska blew trees outward from the epicenter and was seen and felt from miles away. Since a flash of light had been seen coming down to Earth, it was assumed on its face to have been a meteor explosion. But many witnesses saw no flash or an explosion and only felt tremors and heard noises like shot guns. These discrepancies were ignored.

The 17th-ranked Washington Huskies blocked 12 shots and held Eastern Washington University to a season-low shooting percentage to upend the Eagles Sunday (Dec. 14) at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle, Wash., in a non-conference men’s basketball game.
The Huskies held EWU to 36.2 percent shooting from the field and came up with big baskets down the stretch, using a 7-0 run to take its first lead in over 30 minutes with 1:27 left. A 3-pointer by Tyler Harvey helped EWU pull within two with 29 ticks left, but after pair of UW free throws, Eastern missed two shots in the final seconds.
“There is no moral victory, but we gave the No. 17 team in the nation all it could handle,” said Eastern head coach Jim Hayford.
Eastern is now 1-13 all-time versus the Huskies. Exactly 12 years ago to the date, EWU beat the Huskies 62-58 for the only previous victory for EWU over the UW.

—A South Lake Tahoe boy whose family reported him missing last week has been found dead -- and it appears he was killed by a 50-foot tree that fell during Thursday night's storm, police said.
The boy's parents told Reno station KRNV that Dejon Smith was 14 years old and a freshman at South Tahoe High School.
Dejon's body was found Saturday afternoon. Police said the boy vanished Thursday.
The teen was last seen Thursday afternoon at his home in the 1100 block of Wildwood Avenue. Officers said they took the missing person's report, followed up on all leads and came up empty-handed.
Then on Friday, police spoke with a witness who said he or she saw Dejon on Thursday evening in a wooded area behind the 3600 block of Rancho Way.
Dejon and the witness parted ways, and the witness described the wooded area's location to police.
Several South Lake Tahoe officers went out to the area to conduct a search, but never found Dejon.
