Thomas Jefferson School of Law Students’ Efforts to Change the California State Seal Covered in Kansas City Paper


SAN DIEGO, CA, 3/15/18 – The efforts of Tamra Dicus (1L, in pink) and a group of Thomas Jefferson School of Law students to change the California State Seal were covered by The Call, a weekly newspaper in Kansas City, Missouri.

Ms. Dicus, a Kansas City native, began the campaign after learning that the seal was designed by a Confederate soldier. The soldier depicted the figure on the seal as a white woman.

Ms. Discus’s research, however, revealed that California was actually named for Queen Calafia, a fictional queen in a Spanish novel around 1500. Calafia, in the novel, is a Black warrior queen who rules over an island populated by Black women.

Ms. Dicus and a group of Thomas Jefferson students started a campaign called California Censored as a platform to petition the state to change its seal. Thomas Jefferson Professor Steve Semeraro notes that Ms. Dicus’s efforts are a “breathtaking example” of the impact one person can have on our understanding of history. The article is below.

New Orleans, LA Author Publishes Science and Faith Book

Brain, Mind, Soul, and Spirit, a new book by Mack E. Crayton III, Ph.D., has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

As both a Christian and a scientist, two entities that many consider to be opposite of one another, Mack E. Crayton III, Ph.D. explores the often-overlooked convergence between the science of the mind and the truths of the spirit. Inspired by his work in Genetics research, Dr. Crayton wrote Brain, Mind, Soul, and Spirit for three powerful reasons. He wants to prove that Biological science and Biblical Scriptures support each other much more than they contradict each other. He wants to provide a straightforward science reference book for the clergy that can be used to prepare sermons and lessons. Finally, he wants to pair Biblical Scripture with scientific data to ask whether modern and alternative interpretations of Scripture are warranted.

Many historical interpretations of Biblical Scripture have left people feeling marginalized when it comes to matters of the brain and mind as they relate to mental illness; determining when human life begins or ends; understanding our spirituality and sexualities; and the inherent powers of the human mind. This religious marginalization has caused millions of people to live unfulfilled lives, life without love, and have driven others to suicide or acts of terrorism. Complete with discussion questions at the end of each chapter, Brain, Mind, Soul, and Spirit invites you to a greater knowledge of God’s creation, a knowledge which will decrease fear and foster increased inclusiveness and love.

About the Author
Mack E. Crayton III, Ph.D. is the Founder and CEO of Crayton’s Services LLC (https://www.craytonservicesllc.com/), which provides educational and graphic design services. He has been a Christian since the age of eight and was reared in an African-American Southern Baptist Church. Currently, he serves as the lead Church Administrator of a non-denominational ministry in the City of New Orleans.

Dr. Crayton’s undergraduate and graduate studies were in Biological Science. He earned his doctorate degree in Genetics from the University of Connecticut, Storrs in 2003. He has twenty-five years of teaching experience on the college level and is a former Assistant Professor in Genetics and Molecular Biology at Xavier University of Louisiana. As a research scientist, he has peer review publications in professional science journals and research training from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories in Long Island, New York.

Brain, Mind, Soul, and Spirit is a 60-page hardcover with a retail price of $27.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-5221-8. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The VUE Announces Annual Fight for Air Climb to Benefit the ALA


The VUE, Charlotte’s premier luxury apartment community, will host its annual Fight for Air Climb on March 24, 2018. This annual event is a fundraiser for the American Lung Association, and it invites participants to climb the tower’s 50 floors and 883 steps to make a difference for those around the world who are impacted by lung disease.

As the tallest building in the region, The VUE is the logical place to host this exciting fundraising event. The VUE staff is pleased to be able to be the venue that supports the American Lung Association, and aims to make the climb an exciting day for residents and visiting climbers alike.

The Fight for Air Climb is a race upwards, rather than through the streets of Charlotte. Participants climb to the top of the tallest skyscraper between New York and Miami. While training for the climb, participants will raise money to support the American Lung Association. The Fight for Air Climb is one of the best fundraisers for the American Lung Association, and there are 52 events held across the country each year.

Each participant in The Fight for Air Climb, whether climbing as an individual or as part of a team, has a minimum $100 that they must raise to participate. Many raise far more than the minimum as they prepare for the climb, and matching gifts help increase these donations even more. The climb starts with Elite Climbers at 7:00 am, followed by general climbers and firefighters. A variety of awards for both athleticism and fundraising will be delivered at the end of the day.

Currently, participants in the climb have raised almost $40,000, putting the group at 44% of its $90,000 goal for this particular climb. Those interested in climbing still have time to register as individuals or teams.

The VUE is uptown Charlotte’s premier luxury high rise apartment community. With luxury resort-style amenities, modern apartment homes, expansive views and a prestigious location, the VUE has everything Charlotte residents need in a new home.

Los Angeles Car Accident Attorney Warns Uber Passengers to Get Legal Help


Los Angeles car accident attorney, Steven M. Sweat, APC, is warning consumers of the difficulties in filing compensation claims if you are injured as an Uber passenger. Uber, Lyft and other ride-share services have very specific insurance coverage issues and claims processes that are different from other types of motor vehicle collisions. California law now requires Uber and Lyft to provide insurance liability for up to one million dollars for passengers injured as a result of a crash. In addition, if a third party driver is at fault, claims may be asserted against that driver through their auto insurance company. If the accident causes serious bodily injury such brain trauma or spine damage and the third party’s insurance policy limit is not sufficient to pay for all present and future medical expenses and adequately compensate for pain and suffering, there may also be supplement claims made through Uber or Lyft for so-called “Underinsured Motorist” Coverage.

Given the intricacies of presenting the proper claims to the proper entities, it is always advisable for any Uber or Lyft passenger to seek the help of a qualified legal professional. Steven M. Sweat, APC is a personal injury law firm with its principal headquarters in Los Angeles and are attorneys representing accident victims throughout the State of California. They are familiar with presenting Uber rideshare accident claims and can provide a free legal consultation to advise any person injured as to their legal rights to monetary compensation.

Venetian Care and Rehabilitation Earns Prestigious Five-Star CMS Rating


(South Amboy, NJ) March 13, 2018 – Windsor Healthcare Communities is proud to announce that Venetian Care and Rehabilitation Center in South Amboy was awarded the highest possible overall rating of five-stars by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

The ranking is testament to Windsor Healthcare’s vision to be a leading provider of post-acute care while delivering quality services to their patients.

“CMS created their Five-Star quality rating system to help consumers and their families compare nursing homes easily and help identify questions for them to ask when making the critical decision in choosing a rehabilitation center where they will get the care they need to return to home safely after a hospital stay or surgical procedure,” Christina Fleming, Vice President of Marketing for Windsor Healthcare Communities explained. She added, “A five-star rating is considered to be significantly above-average, and we could not be more proud that Venetian has received such distinguished recognition.” Administrator Sally Awad said of the rating, “We always knew we had the heart, now we have the stars.”

Joshua Jacobs, Vice President of Windsor Healthcare said, “Medicare Star Ratings are trusted by thousands of consumers when making important healthcare choices, and now many more patients will be able to rely on the 5-Star rated Venetian for their post-hospital care.”
