Dr. Benjamin Carson
Cuba Gooding as Dr. Carson and the real Dr. Ben Carson
Dr. Keith L. Black
Sidney Poitier, Dr. Black and Quincy Jones
*** Legends ***
By Yussuf J. Simmonds
Managing Editor MEDICAL DOCTORS
Society is dependent on doctors to enhance the quality of human life on a daily basis. They serve the people, through caring, conducting research to produce medicines, combating diseases, and teaching, giving and sending others to continue their work extending the quality and the quantity of the human life. "Legends" is re-running the stories of Dr. Benjamin Carson and Dr. Keith Black; they are just a "small" sample of this exclusive club of medical practitioners.
"Neurosurgeon with Gifted Hands that Heal"
Dr. Ben Carson is a hero like no other; he inspires and motivates others to excel by using their natural talents. He was born Benjamin Carson, the younger of two children, and was raised by his mother, Sonya Carson. His mother and father were divorced when young Benjamin was just eight years old and that placed a heavy burden on his mother, who only had a third-grade education. Though Carson and his brother, Curtis lived in the bowels of extreme poverty, their mother was very determined to guide them out of that condition. Young Benjamin was an average student, with poor grades and an uncontrollable temper. However, he did get through elementary school and improved in high school, scoring high enough to achieve scholarship status that sent him to medical school.
During those years his mother worked long and hard as a domestic worker to provide her sons with what they needed. Since her work usually took her to wealthy people's homes, she was determined that her sons work benefit from her observations of the wealthy; she would also work two, and sometimes three jobs. (Later on in life, Carson would detail her trials and tribulations in his autobiography). Sonya Carson wanted his son to be a doctor, and he in turn wanted to be a missionary doctor. She deprived herself of the meager excesses she was barely able to afford and made some Spartan sacrifices included home tutoring, controlled television viewing, an array of extra-curricular activities to advance her children's future--especially young Benjamin's.
Though his grades were lagging, his mother's intervention and monitoring soon began to produce more acceptable results. She placed the brothers, Benjamin and Curtis on a strict regimen of reading and various other academic activities, designed to bolster their sagging grades. It worked, and within a year, Carson was at the head of his class. His mother's parental persuasion had taken hold of him and his hunger for knowledge became second natured; he would amaze his classmates and his teacher(s) with his newfound brilliance which he shrugged off casually. Much to her dismay, Sonya Carson, because of her lack of education, was barely able to read and was unable to participate in her children's academic work. But she compensated for that with her motivation, and discipline when needed.
Carson received his Bachelors degree in psychology at Yale University and his medical degree from the University of Michigan School of Medicine at Ann Arbor. His internship in general surgery and his residency were done at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Since then, his practice has taken him to many corners of the world. He has touched people from Germany, South Africa and has been in residency at the Sir Charles Gardner Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Medical Center in Western Australia.
Carson specialized in the pediatric neurosurgery and at age 32, he was appointed the director of the pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Hospital. One of his famous surgeries is the separation of a pair of Siamese twins. They were born, joined at the back of the head, and generally such delicate operations had a zero rate of success--usually one or both infants would die. The prognosis was that the twins shared a section of the skull, skin tissue and one of the major veins responsible for allowing blood from the brain to the heart. Carson undertook the operation with 70-member surgical team, and after reportedly working for 22 hours; he successfully separated the twins, allowing them to survive physically independent of each other.
His other surgical breakthroughs include the first intra-uterine procedure to relieve pressure from the brain of a hydrocephalic twin during the advanced stages of conception. And the removal of half of an infant's brain due to uncontrollable seizures by a procedure called hemispherectomy, thereby allowing the infant to utilize the other half of his brain in a compensatory way.
Despite the rigors of Carson's schedule, he still finds time to impart his knowledge of neurosurgery to others and to participate in many other academic activities. He is professor of Neurosurgery, Oncology, Plastic Surgery and Pediatrics at the John Hopkins University School of Medicine; and the co-director of the John Hopkins Craniofacial Center. He is a member of the Board of Neurological Surgery, the Pediatric Neurological Surgery, the Kellogg Company and the Yale Corporation, the latter being the governing body of Yale University. In 1997, Carson took a leave of absence from his medical duties to tour the country speaking and motivating groups of young people. He has authored over 90 neurological publications, and has written three best selling books: "Gifted Hands," "Think Big" and "The Big Picture."
"Gifted Hands" is Carson's story of his childhood struggles, being raised by a single mother, overcoming his under-achieving grade level status and becoming an A-plus student. He scripted his travels from the ghettos of Detroit to becoming the director of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins University Hospital, and how his motivational source came primarily from his mother. In "Think Big", he outlines the importance of education in achieving one's goals and aspirations in life and how the pursuit of excellence can produce the fullness of one's power and potential. And in "The Big Picture" he shows how his faith and vision were able to carry him through some rough times and produce what he eventually became--a master surgeon. He also reveals his philosophy and spiritual perspectives, and how they relate to his life, and his personal experiences with racial diversity, healthcare and education.
"Gifted Hands: the Ben Carson Story" was a movie about Carson played by academy award winner, Cuba Gooding. Critics said that no one else comes to mind for playing Carson with the passion he projects than Gooding. Torn between his loyalty to his skills as a surgeon, and a lack of faith in himself, are what made this film all the more realistic--very emotional & inspiring film!
Carson is married to Candy and they work together to keep his vision a reality.
To complement, his books and his lectures, Carson has also produced videos of his words and through his works. In addition, Carson and his wife, Candy, have set up the Carson Scholars Fund--in Maryland, Delaware, Washington, D.C., and other states throughout the country--to recognize and reward students who strive for academic excellence. He has also implemented the Carson Reading Rooms that have become studying oases among designated school's classrooms. He is truly a role model for all.
"Art is a discipline that is practiced with passion and science is a passion that is practiced with discipline"
The above words are a quote from Dr. Keith Lanier Black, who at 40, is one of the foremost neurosurgeons in the United States. He is the director of the Cedars-Sinai Neurological Institute after having been the head of Comprehensive Brain Tumor Program at the Medical Center in Los Angeles.
It may be remembered that in the movie "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," Sidney Poitier played the role of a "super" doctor, Dr. John Wade Prentice. When the father of his intended bride checked out his credentials, he found out that the man he referred to as a 'negro' was a 'super doctor.' In the real world, Dr. Keith Lanier Black is the real Mc coy--a stellar, real live version of Poitier's Dr. Prentice, and beyond. But not only is Black a famous neurosurgeon, he is a leading researcher specializing in brain cancer, and has published over 100 scientific papers. However, this does not preclude him from maintaining an active role in community affairs; he finds time to work with and inspire young people, and campaigns tirelessly for funding for cancer treatment.
He is intensely focused on helping others. For example, according to medical data, he usually performs approximately 250 brain surgeries a year, whereas most neurosurgeons perform about 15 during the same period. A list of Black's patients illustrates the depth and the quality of his work. Famed attorney, Johnnie L. Cochran was one of his patients. (It was a unique setting--the super doctor taking care of the super lawyer). Patients from all over the world still come to see Black after they've been told there is no hope; and he usually gives them the hope that was elusive in other practitioners.
During an interview Black was asked, "What is it like standing in the operating room with someone's brain exposed in front of you in a life or death situation?"
He responded thus, "You get into an entirely different zone. There's something extra that allows one to find a safe corridor, to sneak into the human brain in a way that the brain never realized you have been there."
Black's cutting-edge research has led to the development of a delivery method for administering chemotherapeutic drugs directly to the tumor, and the creation of vaccines to enhance the body's immune response. It's an innovative treatment that's buying valuable time for cancer patients, something that most of them have in short supply. It's also a combo of vaccines and chemotherapy that medical observers compare to be as close as humanly possible to be able to look at "God's art," the doctor's descriptive term for the mysterious and beautiful human brain.
But there are consequential drawbacks in many scientific fields of endeavor, and as Black has so skillfully defined and compared his profession to art as "a discipline that is practiced with passion, and to science as a passion that is practiced with discipline." To that end, he has consumed his research efforts to minimize the medical deficiencies that are obvious and apparent with the most important part of the human body--the brain. Furthermore, he adds, "I could not think of a diagnosis that is more devastating than the diagnosis of a brain tumor."
One of the medical discoveries that Black is best known for is a peptide occurring naturally in the body which was highly effective in opening the blood-brain barrier by causing capillary walls to be leaky, called 'bradykinin.' This creates a protective maze of blood vessels that slow the progress of medication traveling from the blood stream to brain tissue. To accomplish his findings, Black had to investigate other natural body compounds that induced swelling after injury and also made blood vessels leaky. In his conclusion Black explained, "The fantastic thing about 'bradykinin' is that it does not open the barrier to the normal brain--only to tumors." He patented his method of selective opening of abnormal brain tissue capillaries.
Another innovative method based on his research is geared towards strengthening the body's own immune response. It involved extracting the tumor cells during surgery; genetically modifying the culture cells; culturing the cells in the laboratory; and injecting the genetically engineered product into a patient as a vaccine.
Black was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, on September 13, 1957, the younger of two sons born to Robert and Lillian Black. At an early age his parents noted his interest in science and they encouraged him. After moving to Ohio, young Black began spending an inordinate amount of time at Case Western University. To help nurture his passion for science, his father once reportedly brought home a cow's heart for him to dissect. By the age of seventeen, he had developed the surgical ability to perform an organ transplant on a dog, and had written a scientific paper on the effects artificial heart valve damage on red blood cells.
After high school, Black attended the University of Michigan, where he did his undergraduate studies and also earned his medical degree in 1981. His immediate focus turned to research into the brain and human consciousness combined with a study of the world's religions which led him to his career mission to cure brain tumors. He did his internship in general surgery and his residency in neurological surgery at University of Michigan Medical Center at Ann Arbor.
He served on the faculty of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for 10 years where he was awarded the Ruth and Raymond Strotter Chair in 1992, and was head of UCLA Comprehensive Brain Tumor Program. From there he went to Cedar-Sinai Medical Center, where he remains as head of the Comprehensive Brain Tumor Program and has been the director of the Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute.
The institute is dedicated to advancing the field of neurosurgery, providing leading-edge, compassionate clinical care and conducting unparallel research for a full range of neurosurgical conditions. Under Black's direction the institute offers both children and adults medical, surgical and neuro-oncologic care a wide range of conditions including: achondroplasia, brain aneurysm, epilepsy, spinal deformities and tethered cord. And many of the procedures are done using minimally invasive neurosurgery techniques.
Black has been featured on the cover of a "Time" magazine special edition "Heroes of Medicine"; he was profiled on the PBS program, "the New Explorers" called "Outsmarting the Brain"; he was in the "Newsweek International"; he received the Essence Award; and was named "Esquire" magazine's one of the "21 most important people of the 21st century.
Black serves on the boards of the Neurological Research, Gene Therapy and Molecular Biology, Neurosurgery Quarterly and Frontiers in Bioscience. He is a member of numerous professional societies, including the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, Neurological Society of America, the Academy of Neurological Surgery, and is also a founding member of the North American Skull Base Society.
A devoted family man, he generally reserves his weekends for his wife, Dr. Carol Bennett, and their children, Keith, Jr. and Teal.

Puerto Rico
No. Puerto Rico statute prohibits marriage between same-sex couples.
All government employees are protected by the U.S. Constitution against irrational discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. In addition, some measure of protection already exists under Title VII based on gender, which has been held to include gender identity and expression.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and several courts have interpreted Title VII to protect transgender employees, and the EEOC has interpreted Title VII to cover sexual orientation discrimination. The Supreme Court has held that the EEOC's interpretations of Title VII are entitled to "great deference."
Not permitted. See Ex Parte A.A.R., 2008 WL 4673279 (T.C.A. Aug. 29, 2008) (denying same-sex second-parent adoption) (case pending before the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico).
Different-sex married couples adopting jointly, and unmarried (single) individuals, regardless of sexual orientation. There is no express prohibition on adoption by an LGBT individual. See Puerto Rico Civil Code, Annotated Laws of Puerto Rico Title 31, § 531 & Title 31, § 534; see also Perez v. Proc. Esp. Rel. de Fam., 148 D.P.R. 201 (1999) (only different-sex married couples may adopt jointly).

The house at 1841 Liddell Road in Deep Run was quiet Wednesday morning, except for the barking of one or two small dogs inside.
At the back steps, there lay a vinyl-coated cable dog lead — about 40 feet — and attached to the porch. But there was no dog.
The dog is quarantined at the Lenoir County SPCA, awaiting its fate at the end of 10 days after having bit a 9-year-old boy in front of the next door neighbor's house — a house about 50 feet from where the dog was tied up.
The leash appeared to be able to reach as far as the end of a white picket fence where the two neighbors' driveways merged into one and ran alongside the yard where seven youth were playing ball on Saturday.
The dog's owner let the pit bull out and attached its leash to the dog when the children were outside playing. The dog, more than a year old, ran toward the neighbors front yard and arrived without its collar. And it wasn't the first time the dog had gotten loose.
Nora Gearhart, the owner of dog, had the dog for about a year, Lenoir County Health Department Director Joey Huff said.
State law requires an animal that bites a person to be quarantined for 10 days in case it has rabies.
Gearhart signed the dog, which was vaccinated against rabies in February, over to the SPCA.
Leonard "Shorty" Spence, who lives at the home where his young cousin got bit, said he was told on Monday the dog would be euthanized after the quarantine period. But representatives from the SPCA and Lenoir County Animal Control say they did not make that decision.
The decision lies with the SPCA and is based on a determination of the personality of the animal, Shelter Director Lisa Wrzesinski said.
Wrzesinski said situations such as Saturday's incident can be avoided by dog owners.
"It's taking responsibility for your animals," she said. "If they're going to be outside, you need to be with them."
Joseph Echols, who heads up the Wayne County Pit Bull Rescue in Pikeville, agreed.
"I would say the owner of the dog should be more concerned with the children, knowing the dog was there," he said.
Amanda Boykin of Southern Belles Pit Bull Rescue in Wilson, agreed with Echols and said she was aware of the incident in Deep Run.
"That incident was clearly not the dog's fault and the dogs breed should not be an issue of any sort," Boykin said. "A Jack Russell would have reacted the same way."
Dog owners should acclimate their pets to being around other people, including children, and animals, Wrzesinski said.
"The most important thing is socializing your animal," Wrzesinski said. "They have to be introduced to other people, know how to interact from a puppy on up."
Most pit bulls are good-natured, but some have been bred to be aggressive, Echols said, adding owners, too, may be at fault by not teaching their dogs social skills.
"Bring them to the dog park — with a muzzle on — and let them get used to other dogs," he said.
Kinston has the Rotary Dog Park near the Neuseway Nature Center on N.C. 11/55 at U.S. 70 Bypass.
Wrzesinski said she owns several dogs, including seven pit bulls. She brings them out to pet stores, events, shopping and the dog park so they will be used to people of all ages.
"I have a house full of pit bulls and I can bring anyone inside," she said about her home.
It's never too late to teach a dog social skills, but caution should be used, Echols said. He suggests starting with a doll if it's an adult dog.
Pit bulls are "notoriously strong," he said.
Wrzesinski said any collar or the ring that connects the leash to the collar can break. She added, the dog enjoys playing ball and the children were playing with a ball outside.
"The responsible thing is if you know your dog doesn't like people, don't let your dog outside," she said.

Philsophical naturalism helds, that the natural world is all that exists. No supernatural power exists.
My initial question was ? what evidence is there for such a scenario ?
The evidence is simply this: The total lack of evidence for the supernatural.
Others do have ignored my patient answers as well. So ??!! Just because i do not agree with the answers, i am not serious. Is that right ?
'Others' may have, VeronicaS did not. Point by point the errors of the information/misinformation you are using to shore up your speculations have been shown to be misguided at best, totally wrong in the main. At no point have you contested the correction you have received, choosing instead to ignore or just assert without explanation that you don't agree. You are perfectly entitled not to agree, however, your lack of a coherent counterpoint suggests you are doing so based on an emotional attachment to your position, rather than one based on honest observation of the facts presented.
No , naturalism is a philosophic standpoint.
Sure is. One based on observable/testable events. So presenting convincing 'scientific' arguments for why its preferable to theistic 'explanations' is like saying: " When eating jelly explain why it doesn't taste of rocks". Answer: because jelly isn't made of stone.
This is why I suggested you explain what is so compelling about the theistic position based on science. There's actually a discussion to be had there.
because that is not the topic of this thread.
That's why I presented it as a suggestion.
the scientific facts we know already, are advanced enough, to make secure conclusions about the cause of all that exists. And that conclusion in my view is : the incredible intelligence that we do find in nature, its complexity, its beauty , the molecular machines , like the flagellum, the irreducible complexity as found in the cell, the information stored through dna, the fact that we do have conscience, and many other issues, do point clearly to a powerful creator. no further, new data needed, to make secure conclusion.
And here you are following my suggestion, so no need for the huffy ' that's not the thread' rebuke after all.
Please no ...noooo…not irreducible complexity aaargh i concede defeat!! Really? THE FLAGELLUM!! you have really never been on a non christian site before have you…all debunked many years ago.
If your conclusion is so secure where are all the " SCIENCE HAS PROVED GOD DID IT! " headlines?

RYAN VREDE reports on a breathtaking spectacle in which an impossibly brilliant defensive effort saw the Stormers beat the Bulls 19-15.
This had it all. Abrasive phase play? Numerous examples. Brutal collisions? There were plenty. Foul-mouthed exhortations to achieve a level of performance that transcends the expected? Check. An underdog that refused to accept that billing. You bet ya. This was a derby of epic proportions, one befitting a match of this importance. And ultimately the Stormers took Loftus off the back of one of the great defensive performances.
When viewed in the context of their dire situation with injuries to key players, the importance of the result, the opposition, the venue, and having a man yellow carded, the Stormers' performance was among the best and bravest they have produced in the history of Super Rugby.
The Bulls dominated possession and territory and that they scored just one try is a credit to the Stormers' defensive structure and the accuracy of their execution within that structure. The Bulls needed to play with a high tempo to seriously trouble them, but their ability to do so was stifled by uncompromising hits at the gainline and a rabid breakdown contest.
However, the Cape side's attack struggled and undermined their cause yet again. Credit to the Bulls, who themselves produced a tackle fight of appreciable strength and accuracy. The Stormers shelved their renowned kicking game in favour of ball-in-hand attack but their surges were often forced to go lateral as a pink wall advanced at them with pace and cohesion. Often the Stormers played well behind the advantage line and seldom threatened. There was a throwback moment from Bryan Habana in the 20th minute where the winger broke and made 40m. But that moment was birthed from a broken field situation. Their general play lacked innovation and precision, while the scrums were little more than adequate and lineouts an absolute shambles. But when it mattered they delivered, Habana, once a beloved son of Loftus, downing his former team-mates.
Morne Steyn and Peter Grant traded penalties before the Bulls crossed the whitewash, controversially so, as it appeared that Pierre Spies had grounded the ball on Deon Carstens' boot. Steyn missed the conversion but banked three points shortly thereafter. Grant landed a penalty of his own just before the break to leave his side trialling 11-9.
Defence dominated threafter, and with neither side able to get go-forward and the lines able to fan out, the attacking play was laboured and largely impotent.
Stormers prop Frans Malherbe complicated an already arduous task when he got himself sin-binned for a tip-tackle with a quarter of the game to play. But the Stormers redoubled their efforts and scored the only points in Malherbe's absence, Grant sinking a penalty to make it a two-point game.
Then the play that changed the game. The Stormers seemed to be venturing down another attacking dead-end when Quin Roux threw a speculative pass wide to Siya Kolisi. But JJ Engelbrecht was hesitant in closing the flanker down, allowing him to cut through a hole and pick Habana out with the most perfectly timed pass. It topped a masterclass from Kolisi. At only 20, his future is very, very bright.
The Bulls launched an almighty late assault but the Stormers held all the cards. It was the Stormers' primary strength against a desperate and disjointed Bulls attack. They never looked like folding.
What a match.

Odyssey Backstryke 2-Ball Putter
Product Overview
The Big Idea Is Back.
It's time for a revolutionary putter that could improve your stroke. It's time for a putter that's so good your mind will always be at ease. It's time for a putter that will change the paradigm forever. Odyssey has always pursued innovation and exploration to make products that are game changers. We've put our philosophy to use with the 2-Ball design, our insert technology, and progressively shaped putters. We bring an independent and rebellious touch to design and a focus on the science behind putting to create cutting edge putters that help golfers sink more putts.
Visible Face Alignment
Makes sure you can sink the put by giving you a clear line of sight to see if the face is square to the hole. Lining up putts on the target line has never been easier than it is with this unprecedented visual aid.
Forward Press Stabilization
Promotes an upward stroke with a hands forward position and no de-lofting. The leading arm also stays straight and stable because of the shaft position, which means the wrists will be less likely to break down. The club imparts topspin faster because of the ascending stroke pattern, which leads to a truer roll. The hand position makes for a long, low follow-through to increase consistency.
Stroke Balance
The putter is balanced on the axis of the stroke for a stable, fluid path that is more accurate and consistent for the best distance control.

Christoph Waltz stars as a smooth-talking German bounty hunter in the incredible "Django Unchained." Conan was THISCLOSE to getting cast in the same role, but no dice.
Christoph Waltz stars as a smooth-talking German bounty hunter in the incredible "Django Unchained." Conan was THISCLOSE to getting cast in the same role, but no dice.
Rob Riggle returns in "22 Jump Street" as our favorite drug dealing high school teacher. Next to Bryan Cranston, of course.
"The Voice" finalist Chris Mann's new album is Roads We'll see if we can trick out Conan's chair in time for Chris' performance.
There's gonna be two redheads on stage & here's a simple way to tell them apart: One is a Broadway fanatic who can't stop humming showtunes & the other is Jesse Tyler Ferguson from "Modern Family."
The beautiful Teresa Palmer stars in "Warm Bodies" as the love interest of a zombie. We would say it's heart warming, except the zombie is pretty stone-cold dead.
The intensely silly and unrelentingly hilarious Baron Vaughn has a new comedy album out now, Raised by Cable. Stop reading this and buy it now!
The incredible Marion Cotillard stars in "Rust and Bone." If you need us, we'll be softly singing "La Vie en Rose" outside her dressing room.
Jim Jefferies is a born and raised Australian. Is it offensive if we stock his dressing room with Vegemite & stuffed koalas?
Minnesota-natives Trampled by Turtles are named after the most ADORABLE way to die. Their new album is Stars and Satellites.
"Mulaney" star Martin Short has given the world Ed Grimley, Ned Nederlander, & Jiminy Glick. As far as we're concerned, he's as big a hero as Jonas Salk, only with less needles.
After "Angel" and "Bones," David Boreanaz must be really used to coming to work and seeing a bunch of corpses.
The last time Jake Bugg was on our show, he was just an 18 year-old guitar phenom. Now he's 19, which practically makes him an old hand at this. His new album is Shangri La.

Soundgardenrock group
Born: 1984
Hiro Yamamoto (bass player) moved from Illinois to Olympia, Washington, to attend college in 1981. He started playing music with his roommate, Chris Cornell (drummer, lead singer). The duo was soon joined by Yamamoto's high school friend, Kim Thayil (guitarist), and the resulting trio christened themselves Soundgarden in 1984. Soundgarden became the first grunge band to sign with a major record label when it contracted with A&M in 1986. Their albums include Louder Than Love (1989), the Grammy-award winning Superunknown (1994), and Down on the Upside (1996). They broke up in 1997. Sometime members of Soundgarden included drummers Scott Sundquist and Matt Cameron, and bass players Jason Everman and Ben Shepherd. Yamamoto left Soundgarden in 1989 to go back to school.

You may contact the Jury Services office by phone at 530-225-5645 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you reach our voice mail system, you may leave a message including your name, telephone number and the juror badge number located on your summons. Your call will be returned as soon as possible.
If you have a temporary or permanent medical excuse, please fax it to the Jury Services office at 530-605-2794. To avoid a failure to appear, all medical excuses must be received by 5:00 p.m., the day prior to the beginning date of service.
Reasonable accommodations may be made for those persons who are disabled under The Americans with Disabilities Act. Please contact the Jury Services Personnel at 530-225-5645 for information.
Your jury summons instructs you to call for reporting instructions the evening BEFORE your beginning date. Reporting instructions may be accessed between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. at the following numbers:
You may access Reporting Instructions on the web by going to the reporting instructions link on this page.
The following persons are exempt from serving jury duty:
Only the following persons may be exempted from service based on undue hardship by the Jury Services Office pursuant to Shasta County Superior Court's Jury Procedures:
Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 204(a), no one shall be exempted from jury service by reason of occupation, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, economic status, or sexual orientation, or for any other reason except as allowed by law.
The date you have been summoned to perform jury duty may be inconvenient for you. Please contact the Jury Services Office at 530-225-5645 or by email at email@example.com PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING DATE OF SERVICE to make arrangements for a postponement. Those persons calling or appearing on their scheduled date of service to request a postponement may be denied that postponement. The court understands there may be circumstances that may temporarily make you unable to serve jury duty. Jury staff will be happy to work with you to make arrangements so that you may serve at a time which is more convenient for your schedule.
Shasta County Superior Court's Jury Procedures state that a prospective juror's service may be postponed to a date certain within six (6) months of the original date of service.
All eligible persons summoned for jury duty must serve when called upon to do so. Shasta County Superior Court maintains a one-day or one-trial service. If you report for jury duty and are dismissed from the Jury Assembly Room; if you report and are dismissed from a courtroom; if you are placed on telephone standby for up to five court days; or, if you serve one day on call, you have fulfilled your obligation for jury duty under the one-day or one-trial system. If you feel you have any reason that would stop you from serving jury duty for the minimum requirement, you must appear for service in the Jury Assembly Room on the first day and complete the orientation process that is required by California law. Jury Services personnel cannot excuse jurors for hardship.
Jurors are selected randomly for assignment to a courtroom. If selected, you will be given the opportunity to speak with the judge hearing the matter regarding your hardship excuse. The court will determine if you can be excused for hardship. Hardships may include vacation plans; work related issues; transportation problems; financial difficulties; or, childcare issues.
Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 191, jury service is an obligation of citizenship.
California State Rule of Court 2.1002, which became effective July 1, 1999, states that a person has fulfilled his or her jury service obligation for one (1) year when he or she has:
Once a juror becomes eligible to serve again they may or may not hear from our office. Names are selected randomly each year from a pool compiled from two different source lists.
Jurors should be aware that, according to statute, they could be utilized as a prospective juror on their first day of service for the entire business day. In Shasta County, this generally means that you may be at court from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If jury selection is close to completion, a jury panel may be held past 5:00 p.m. However, that is an exception rather than the rule.
Serving one day on call means that when you call for reporting instructions, you are directed to call back to the recorded message line at a specific time the next day to report within that same day. You can be asked to report to the Jury Assembly Room in a little as an hour's time. If you are not required to report that day, you will be considered completed for service for one (1) year. Until given a time to report while on call, you are free to go about your personal endeavors.
Telephone standby means that you may be requested to call back each night after 5:00 p.m. for reporting instructions for a day other than the beginning date shown on your summons. Trial weeks generally begin on Tuesdays, but individual trials may begin on a later day during the week. The date shown on your summons is strictly a beginning date. Until given a time to report within that five (5) day period, you are free to go about your personal endeavors.
Jurors are asked to dress appropriately for a courtroom. Business or casual dress is acceptable—jeans and t-shirts are okay. Jurors are warned that temperatures in courtrooms can vary widely (both cold and hot) and are encouraged to dress appropriately.
SHORTS AND TANK TOPS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN COURTROOMS. Wearing shorts or tank tops will not be used as a basis for excusing jurors. However, the judge may order that the prospective juror wear appropriate clothing if they must return for further service.
During the orientation process, it is asked that all cellular phones and pagers be silenced. The orientation is a requirement of state law and must be given to all prospective jurors.
Pursuant to Local Rule of Court 2.12, cellular phones and pagers must be turned off before entering courtrooms and may not be used in any of the courtrooms.
In the courtroom, please be alert and courteous. Listen to all information that is imparted and to all orders issued by the court. Do not leave the courtroom unless there is an emergency. If you must leave, please advise the bailiff. Please clear any medically necessary food or drink with the bailiff before use. You may be asked to leave the courtroom to take care of such situations. Reading material and handiwork may only be used while court is not in session.
If excused from a courtroom, please follow the trial judge's instructions. You will be told if you are free to leave and resume your private endeavors or if you are to return to the Jury Assembly Room for assignment to another trial.

Prospective jurors are allowed to park in any parking lot marked with a sign saying "B" Permit Parking. Jurors are provided a Juror Parking Permit as part of the summons that was mailed to them. Jurors may also park along any of the local streets around the courthouse. Please ask for a replacement permit if you no longer have the original one sent to you. Please observe any posted signs. As noted on the parking map on the back of your summons mailer, there is abundant parking on Oregon Street next to the railroad tracks. Jurors are encouraged to park in that lot and walk one block to the courthouse.
The Juror Parking Permit does not override the parking meter. Citations are issued to violators who do not maintain their meter. Jurors are strongly discouraged from parking at metered spaces since it is unlikely you will be able to leave the courtroom to maintain the meter. Permits MUST be displayed on the vehicle's dash.
Prospective jurors can ride any Redding Area Bus Authority bus free of charge. Show the bus driver your summons when boarding. When you are finished with your jury service—retain the paper part of your juror badge (return the plastic badge holder to courtroom or jury personnel). If you are required to serve for more than one day, you will wear your juror badge daily for identification. Please show the bus driver the back of your badge each day for the free fare.
RABA runs routes to several outlying areas of Shasta County daily and provides Demand Response buses for those with disabilities who are unable to reach a regular bus stop and have made application to participate in that program.

All prospective jurors are to report to the Jury Assembly Room located at 1500 Court Street, First Floor - Room #117 in Redding. Map
The Shasta County Courthouse is a WIRELESS INTERNET HOT SPOT available for use by jurors, visiting attorneys and the general public. The primary focus of this service is to provide additional support for the summoned jurors while assigned to jury duty. You are welcome to bring a wireless device for your use when not in any court process. Laptops, PDA's or other devices are allowed while waiting to be assigned or during breaks. Please be advised that the Superior Court is not liable for any lost, stolen or damaged items and any malicious incursions while using this service.
All persons, packages, and bags entering the Shasta County Courthouse are required to be screened for weapons at the front door. All prospective jurors are required to go through the metal detector at the security screening station located at the main entrance of the courthouse. Any type of metal may activate the detector. Jurors are encouraged to leave any questionable items at home or in their vehicles before reporting to the Jury Assembly Room.
No weapons are allowed in the courthouse. That includes knives of any length, sharp items, pepper spray and any item which could be used as a weapon.. Any item that could be used as a weapon (i.e., knitting needles, scissors, etc.) may be confiscated by the Shasta County Marshal's Office and placed in an unsecured box at the security screening station. Owners will be able to claim their property when their business in the courthouse is finished.
All persons entering or leaving the courthouse must use the main entrance, which can be accessed via Court Street. Any attempt to use another entrance or exit will cause alarms to sound and Marshals to respond.
Only water is allowed in courtrooms. Medically necessary drinks may be an exception—please verify with the bailiff if you are assigned to a courtroom.
Smoking is not allowed inside the courthouse, nor within 20 feet of any building entrance.
The Jury Clerks will give any juror that must provide proof of completion of service a form verifying such service. These forms can be provided daily, weekly, concurrent to a juror's payroll period, or at the end of a juror's service. Proof of service for the first day of service will be provided during the orientation process in the Jury Assembly Room. After the first day of service, jurors may obtain these forms from personnel in the Jury Services office located in Room #117. It is the juror's responsibility to request a proof of service.
Effective July 1, 2000, jurors are paid a daily fee of $15.00 per day beginning with the second day of service. Payment shall continue for each day or part of a day a juror serves until released by Jury personnel or a judge. Jurors shall also be paid mileage at the rate of .34 cents per mile, one-way from the Jury Assembly Room to the prospective jurors' place of residence for every day they perform jury duty. The State Legislature sets, by statute, the minimum amounts jurors are to be paid.
A prospective juror may waive the mileage payment, the daily fee, or both. Please check with your employer to verify their jury payment policy. Employers are not required by law to pay an employee's wages while they are performing jury duty. They can allow an employee to use any available form of paid leave so that the employee will continue to be paid while away from work while performing jury duty.
Jurors serving on a trial are paid upon completion of the trial. Generally, jurors should receive payment within two to four weeks of completion of service.
Labor Code Section 230(a) states: "No employers shall discharge or in any manner discriminate against an employee for taking time off to serve as required by law on an inquest jury or trial jury, if the employee, prior to taking the time off, gives reasonable notice to the employer that he or she is required to serve."
By law, jury summons are required to be mailed ten days in advance of a juror's beginning date. As a courtesy, the Shasta County Superior Court Jury Services Division mails summons 21 days in advance. Please notify your employer you have been summoned to perform jury duty as soon as you receive your jury summons.
For those employers who have questions or concerns about their role in jury duty, an employer brochure is available in the Jury Assembly Room. Any employers with further questions are encouraged to contact the Jury Services staff directly at 530-225-5645 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com
If you feel you have been discriminated against or terminated solely because you served jury duty, there is a complaint process that can be used through the Labor Relations Department of the State of California. Please contact the Jury Services Office for further information.

To appeal a judgment from Conciliation Court, you do that in the District Court of the county where the Conciliation Court case was filed. Go to "How do you appeal a Conciliation Court judgment?"
Clerk of Appellate Courts Office
Court of Appeals Self-Help Center
Court Rules - Appeals in Civil Cases (see also Rules of Appellate Procedure)
Appeals Forms (Appendix to Court Rules)
IMPORTANT! It is very difficult to appeal a case to the MN Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals. Filing an appeal is not a "do over" of the case. Appellate Courts review decisions the trial court judge made about the law, but not questions about the facts. We strongly encourage you to talk to a lawyer to get advice on whether an appeal is the best option for you and how to write a "brief" and present an oral argument. Court staff cannot give you any legal advice.
If you already appealed your case to an appellate court and it was "remanded" back to the District Court, you would need to speak with the judge's clerk or the District Court Administration for questions about the next steps in the case.
If you are involved in a dispute with a Minnesota government agency (e.g., over proposed sanctions against a daycare provider license, the issuance of an administrative penalty order, etc.), you may be entitled to appeal the decision to the MN Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH).
OAH is part of the Executive Branch of government (not the Judicial Branch) and is limited in its jurisdiction. Appeals to OAH are initiated through the government agency that issued the license or penalty order. Some appeals are handled by the government agency and not OAH, such as unemployment compensation and human services benefit payments. For people representing themselves without attorneys, contact the MN Office of Administrative Hearings (651-361-7900) with any questions about OAH Forms and Procedures. See Guide to OAH Hearings video.

Muncie, Ind. – Just four months after taking home the Mid-American Conference Tournament title at Ball State, the RedHawks returned to the site for another successful showing this weekend at the Ball State Invitational. Miami walked away with four singles championships across the five total flights and one doubles championship in the consolation bracket.
In singles flight A, senior Christiana Raymond leaves Muncie with a first-place finish. Raymond won Friday 6-4, 6-3, she won Saturday twice by scores of 6-0, 5-7, 6-3 and 6-4, 6-3. Saturday Raymond wrapped things up with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Ball State's Courtney Wild in the championship round.
Freshman Andreea Badileanu won four matches as well over the course of three days to win the singles flight B. Badileanu won 6-2, 6-1 on Friday, 6-4, 7-5 and 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 on Saturday, and capped it off with a 6-4, 6-3 win against Katherine White of Notre Dame on Sunday.
Juniors Christine Guerrazzi and Ramona Costea met up against each other in the championship for singles flight D on Sunday. Guerrazzi only dropped one game, winning 6-1, 6-0 in the all-Miami final. Costea had not lost a set in the tournament prior to Sunday, winning her first three matches by scores of 6-2, 6-1 on Friday and 6-2, 6-4 and 6-3, 6-0 on Saturday.
Sophomore Chloe Heerden leaves Muncie without dropping a single set en route to her first-place finish in the singles flight E. Heerden won Friday 6-3, 6-0 and then dropped just two games on Saturday, winning 6-0, 6-0 and then 6-1, 6-1. Heerden won 6-0, 6-3 on Sunday over Megan Brdicka from Wright State in the final.
After losing their first doubles match on Saturday afternoon, sophomore Ana Rajkovic and Guerrazzi responded with three straight wins throughout the rest of the weekend to capture the doubles flight A consolation bracket.
"We did a good job competing this weekend," said Head Coach Anca Dumitrescu. "It was nice to see Chloe, Andreea, Christine and Christiana win their flights. It is a very positive start to the season and it gives us a lot of confidence as we move forward."
Miami returns to action next Saturday when it hosts the Miami Invitational. Admission to Miami tennis is free.

Men's Volleyball Hands Mount Olive First League Loss with 3-1 Road Win on Tuesday Night
March 26, 2013
MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. - Pfeiffer University posted one of their best hitting nights of the season picking up a 3-1 (25-20, 19-25, 25-18, 25-16) victory at Mount Olive in Conference Carolinas men's volleyball action on Tuesday night. The Falcons, who hit .433 as a team led by Caleb Brophy's 20 kills and .471 clip, improve to 14-6 overall, 12-3 in league play. The Trojans suffer their first league-loss at the hands of the Falcons falling to 21-4, 14-1.
Fabio Diniz would set the tone from the very first serve dropping an ace to give Pfeiffer momentum in addition to the first kills of the night by Micah Bortner and Brophy. A Pfeiffer service error would get the Trojans within two at 16-14 until Diniz extended the cushion back out to three with another kill for the Falcons. Brophy would add two more kills late in the set while a final Eric Edelman put down and service error by the Trojans iced set one 25-20.
Tied 15-15 midway through set two, one of Alex Rivero's 14 kills gave Mount Olive a one-point lead as the Trojans would pull away late to even the match at one apiece. Rivero would put down the final kill in set two for a 25-19 victory.
Set three saw the Falcons erase an early 8-5 deficit by racing out on a eight-point run gaining a 14-8 lead. Edelman secured two of those points with kills while David Specian put down a kill and assisted on a block with Edelman twice to provide the burst. Back-to-back aces by Brophy extended the lead to 18-11 while teaming up with Diniz to convert a pair of final kills allowing the Falcons to take a 2-1 match lead.
In the clinching fourth, another Brophy kill and combo block by Specian and Diniz put the Falcons up 10-7 before an Edelman kill and Specian ace pushed it out to 15-9. To help set the tone for a possible rematch in the Conference Carolinas tournament championship, final kills from Diniz and Brophy clinched the match with a 25-16 cruising in set four.
Brophy's match-high 20 kills was helped out by Specian's 45 assists. Pfeiffer would out-block Mount Olive 14 to 4.5 in the four-set win and hold the Trojans to hitting just .188 on the night.
Pfeiffer will stay on the road this Friday and Saturday traveling to Indiana to battle IPFW and Ball State. Live stats/video will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Online ad spending is expected to grow by nearly 14 percent to $51.9 billion in 2011, compared with a year earlier, according to Borrell Associates. That far outpaces the 5 percent gain expected in total ad spending.
Annual office rents should decline by another 2.1 percent in 2011 after falling 2.7 percent this year, says the National Association of Realtors. The group predicts commercial vacancies will peak early next year.
The average corporate travel budget is expected to rise by 4.5 percent in 2011 following a 5.5 percent increase in 2010, the National Business Travel Association forecasts. Rates on airfare, hotels, and car rentals are all expected to jump.
After two years of holding steady, IT budgets are poised to grow by 3.3 percent, according to the Corporate Executive Board. Nearly half of project budgets are expected to go toward business intelligence, collaboration tools, or customer interface.
The average health care premium increase for employers is expected to reach 8.8 percent next year, compared with 6.9 percent in 2010 and 6.0 percent in 2009, according to Hewitt Associations. The rise is the result of higher medical claim costs, an aging population, and changes brought on by health care reform.
Businesses budgeting salary increases expect to raise pay by 3 percent in 2011, following equally modest increases of 2.5 percent in each of the past two years, the Conference Board reports.
U.S. businesses expect full-time employment to inch up by a scant 0.7 percent over the next year, while temporary employment will increase by 0.8 percent, according to a survey by Duke University and CFO Magazine. That won't put much of a dent in the unemployment rate.

How does a Crankshaft work in a small engine? The crankshaft attaches to a piston by a connecting rod. During each cycle, the crankshaft rotates to push the piston up in the cylinder. Crankshafts rarely break, but if they do, it can cause serious engine damage. If you're doing an engine overhaul, don't forget to replace the crankshaft.
For preventative maintenance, many engine manufacturers recommend replacing the crankshaft and the camshaft at the same time. When you're repairing your small engine, Jack's has all the parts you need. We have replacement crankshafts from the major manufacturers, including Briggs and Stratton, Honda, Kawasaki, Kohler, and Tecumseh. Match your part or model number below. We also carry replacement camshafts.

Just Finished My Accounting Midterm
Hey reader/readers!
I just finished my accounting midterm, and I'm pretty sure I did well. I have to do some calculus homework tonight, but that's the only thing I absolutely NEED to do before thanksgiving break. I have plenty to do during the time I have off, but hopefully I can get a little less stressed, and maybe I can even catch up on sleep. I hope everyone else is getting through this crunch ok. Work was pretty easy today, but I may have to work this Saturday. I worked last Saturday to cover for a coworker who was with his girlfriend. I'm not usually supposed to work Saturdays, but my boss's boss sent out an e-mail saying we'll be open Thanksgiving Saturday (when the other people who work at the help desk are going to travel to their their distant homes to gorge themselves in a ritual feast). I will probably be eating a fairly ordinary meal at home, probably, but not necessarily, with something cooked in the oven. My brother's a vegetarian, so his thanksgiving meal will probably be even less traditional.
Hey, Dustin! Are you going to have a peanut butter sandwich or Grapenuts© for your thanksgiving meal this year? Maybe you should get some Quorn©.

Label Confusion: The Groucho Effect of Uncertain Standards
2011, Management Science
Rick Harbaugh, John W. Maxwell, Beatrice Roussillon
Labels certify that a product meets some standard for quality, but often consumers are unsure of the exact standard that the label represents. Focusing on the case of eco-labels for environmental quality, we show how even small amounts of uncertainty can create consumer confusion that reduces or eliminates the value to firms of adopting voluntary labels. First, consumers are most suspicious of a label when a product with a bad reputation has it, so labels are often unpersuasive at showing that a seemingly bad product is actually good. Second, label proliferation aggravates the effect of uncertainty, causing the informativeness of labels to decrease rather than increase. Third, uncertainty makes labeling and non-labeling equilibria more likely to coexist as the number of labels increases, so consumers face greater strategic uncertainty over how to interpret the presence or absence of a label. Finally, a label can be legitimitized or spoiled for other products when a product with a good or bad reputation displays it, so firms may adopt labels strategically to manipulate such information spillovers, which further exacerbates label confusion. Managers can reduce label confusion by supporting mandatory labeling or by undertaking investments to make certain labels "focal".

Potentially not safe for work.
Argo - 14 September 2012 11:18 AMhttp://www.theonion.com/articles/no-one-murdered-because-of-this-image,29553/
Potentially not safe for work.
I'm thinking that if a tenth century mentality is subsisting on a piece of arid, god forsaken sand, maybe the fervent belief in a vindictive god and an afterlife in which one will live in satiated bliss appears to be worth dieing for.
