ACLU fights FBI request to keep mosque secrets LOS ANGELES (AP) — The ACLU of Southern California is protesting the U.S. government’s attempt to block information from being released in a lawsuit over the FBI’s monitoring of Orange County mosques. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice are trying to invoke the seldom-used state secrets privi- lege to avoid talking about how the FBI paid at least one informant to monitor mosques in 2006. They want the judge to toss the law- suit. The ACLU said in a statement Friday that lawyers have filed a motion urging the court not to dismiss the case until it has ruled on whether the state secrets doctrine can properly be invoked. In February, the ACLU and others accused the FBI of carrying out surveillance at mosques because the agency was target- ing Muslims. Woodrow Wayne Gilbert Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live even though he dies; and whoev- er lives and believes in me will never die. (John 11:25) Beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and un- Newspapers sue Calif. Assembly over cle, Woodrow Wayne Gilbert of Red Bluff CA went to meet the Lord on August 2, 2011.

Woodrow was born in El Centro, CA on Sep- tember 20 1939 to Woodrow "Woody" Gilbert and Zelma Lucille Tucker. He graduated from Red Bluff High School in Red Bluff, CA in 1957. He was a phenomenal athlete holding records that have yet to be broken. After receiv- ing a full scholarship to San Jose State University, Wayne left the university to marry Carolyn S.

In his younger days he was a Super Modi- fied race car season points champion at both the Silver Dollar Speedway and the Shasta Speedway, simultaneous - ly. After working his business for over 30 years he retired and traveled with his wife.

Those teaching upper grade levels may solely focus on math, but elementary level teachers are responsible for teaching multiple subjects. Math con- cepts were connected to his- tory and literature as teachers talked about the number sys- tems form cultures, such as the Babylonians and Aztecs. Beyond this week’s session, teachers will continue to get one-on-one coaching from Marcellus and the three other coaches during classroom visits. Teachers will return in October for weekend work- shops, during which time their progress will be evalu- ated, Sandberg said. One of the last activities teachers did Friday was write a letter to themselves in which they described the concepts and goals they wished to accomplish in their classrooms. When they return in October, teachers will get their letters back and do a self-evaluation on attainment of those goals. budget info SACRAMENTO (AP) — The Sacra- mento Bee and Los Angeles Times have filed a lawsuit challenging the state Assem- bly over its refusal to release records about TOBY Continued from page 1A ication so that if one parent gives him medicine it noti- fies the other, which helps when they’re not home at the same time, she said. “We have to give him his meds at the same time every- day,” Drummond said. “Oth- erwise, it will throw him into a seizure.” Unable to feed himself, Toby also cannot hold any- thing bigger than a pen because he cannot grip things, she said. Toby has to eat a special formula and has visits from a dietitian once a month along with the three different thera- pists who come to the cou- ple’s apartment three days a week, she said. “Yesterday, he had eight pieces of corn, which was something new,” Drummond said Wednesday. Toby’s normal body tem- perature averages 101.8, which means it’s difficult to take him places and their home has to be kept at an even 66 degrees, Drummond said. To go places, the couple puts a vest made by TechKewl that has remov- able ice packs inside it so as they melt new ones can be put in. “He can’t take warm baths,” Drummond said. “It can’t even be lukewarm, but it can’t be too cold because it would cause him to go into shock. He’s a happy baby, but he can’t walk or talk except a few words in his own way. They’re very few and far between.” The couple has already gone to the University of California, Davis, Stanford, and the University of Cali- fornia, San Francisco trying to figure out what was wrong with Toby and will be return- ing to Stanford within the next two weeks for a second opinion on the Chiari malfor- mation, she said. “They’ve told us he isn’t expected to make it past age four,” Drummond said of a trip to UC Davis. “The prob- lem is (because of insurance) they won’t consider surgery until he’s on life support and only if his organs are still ok.” A private insurance would most likely cover the surgery, but Medi-Cal won’t, she said. “It’s scary because there’s a 40 percent chance of brain damage with the surgery, but I’d much rather prolong his life if we can,” Drummond said. Doctors have discussed putting a baclofen pump in to lawmakers’ current office budgets. The Assembly Rules Committee had denied requests from the newspapers to release the documents under the Legislative Open Records Act. The newspapers filed suit Friday, http://bit.ly/nzKCoP , the Bee reported. Legislative officers said the documents contain drafts, notes and memos that are exempt from disclosure and could include private information about employees. The newspapers argued in their lawsuit that the Assembly’s refusal violates the con- stitutional right of Californians to obtain information about government business. Assemblyman Anthony Portantino of La Canada-Flintridge initially requested the information July to support his claim that his budget was cut only because he was the sole Democrat to vote against the state budget. New law bans jurors’ texting, tweeting SACRAMENTO (AP) — A new state law clarifies that jurors are prohibited from texting, tweeting and using smart phones to discuss or research cases. The bill by Democratic Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes of Sylmar also clarifies that jurors cannot use electronic or wireless com- munications to contact court officials. Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB141 on Friday. The bill adds to existing jury instructions. It specifies that jurors consider only facts presented to them in court without doing their own research or communicating out- side the jury room. The system’s Judicial Council says jurors’ use of electronic devices has become ‘‘an increasingly significant threat to the integrity of the justice system.’’ The law, which takes effect in January, makes it a misdemeanor for jurors to use electronic or wireless devices to research or communicate with others. Calif. driver convicted of killing CHP officer SAN LUIS OBISPO (AP) — A San Luis Obispo County woman who killed a Cali- fornia Highway Patrol officer while high on methamphetamine has been convicted of second-degree murder. A jury on Friday also convicted 23-year- old Kaylee Ann Weisenberg of gross vehic- ular manslaughter while intoxicated in last year’s death of Officer Brett Oswald. The 47-year-old officer was standing next to his squad car waiting for a tow truck when Weisenberg’s Toyota Corolla crashed into him near Paso Robles. Prosecutors say the level of methamphet- amine in Weisenberg’s blood was twice the amount necessary for someone to be consid- ered legally intoxicated. She faces 15 years to life in prison when she is sentenced on Sept. 8. help Toby, however, in order to do that there’s a good chance they’d have to break his ribs to put it in, because his muscular structure isn’t strong enough, she said. Proceeds from the grand- parents booth help with some of the expenses of going down to the different hospitals. The couple also collects soda can tops and homemade pillowcases, which help with the cost of staying at places like the Ronald McDonald House. In addition to bringing tabs to the farmers market, which runs 7-11 a.m. on Sat- urdays and 5-8 p.m. on Wednesdays, buckets to col- lect tabs have also been put in businesses around Red Bluff. Locations include Tommy K’s 4-Alarm Yogurt, Main St., the jewelry store side of the Gold Exchange on Walnut St., Bud’s Auto Parts, Mercy High School, Sacred Heart School, and Vista School in the special education classroom, Drum- mond said. Buckets are also in the breakroom at Walmart and Raley’s, she said. ——— Julie Zeeb can be reached at 527-2153, extension 115 or jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.co m. ‘Yard Sale Map’ Updated Thursday afternoon – for weekend Yard Sales!

Red Bluff Corner of Antelope & Gilmore COUPON K-9 Continued from page 1A Drive in the Red Bluff area. At 10:15 p.m., while going east on Cody Drive, the passenger door opened and McNamara, wearing black pants and no shirt, exited the vehicle. At 10:19 p.m., California Highway Patrol Officers, who had pursued the foot- bailing McNamara a short distance to the 10900 block of Cody Drive, had him in custody, according to logs. A minute later, law enforcement also had Eusted in custody. Additional offi- cers from Red Bluff Police and CHP arrived on scene at Cody Drive to provide extra assistance. During a search of McNamara, deputies dis- covered two baggies with 9.4 grams of methampheta- mine and a set of digital scales, a Sheriff’s press release said. A search of the area where McNamara had fled turned up a baggy with 29.3 grams of crystal metham- phetamine. He was booked into Tehama County Jail. Eusted was taken into custody on Cody Drive without further incident. He was booked into jail on the charge of felony evading. A warrants check showed both men had outstanding warrants for parole violation and McNamara had an out- standing felony arrest war- rant for robbery. authorized retailer YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTERS IT’S FOR YOU Let us answer all of your mobile communication needs with great prices on the best phones. any phone or $20 off accessory* Check Out our online Yar Yar d S Classified a le Map d S a le Map
