This Blog Post will be short and to the point. I will basically give a quick summary of each resources and how it is available. The biggest share are available in a PDF on the net. I can explain the content and list the PDF name exactly. I think the names are exact but if not they are close enough for you to find them in order to obtain the resource yourself. I cannot by law copy them and give them to you. If I could I would copy them here and make them easily for you to copy The first PDF is titled “The Future of Children with Disabilities,” from http://www.futureofchildren.org. It is volume 22 Number 2 Spring 2012. It contains a number of articles within the PDF; ranging from and introduction on disabilities and the future to emerging technologies. My next pick to place in this mix is on self advocacy and determination. There is the National Gateway sight and resources; twitter handle @gatewaytosd, facbook is gatewaytosd and Utube GagewaytoSD. I can’t speak with certainty about Utube having videos on self advocacy and determination. However, I am pretty certain that Gateway has videos about this topic. The PDF title to look for on the net is 2011_issues1_selfd_selfa.pdf. It deals with advocacy and determination on many levels. The publishers are National Training Institute on Self Determination. As I stated before there are many other resources on the National Gateway and Self Determination site at http://www.ngsd.org/. Here I want to point out the great tool graphic organizers are for teaching to those that lean to the visual learning mode. They can be a great tool for many children tool. Look at these terms and places listed below or put in a search engine to reveal many free resources for graphic organizers. Many can make there own with the word processing software on their computer. The part that deals with accounting or graphic to make tables. There are those that say shapes that can be used to make your own graphic organizer to tailor your mapping of content. But see below for more; Freeology is a place where you can get free graphic organizers Rubistar or putt graphic organizers in any search engine to reveal more sources of free organizers. You may have sign up for a free newsletter but I consider that a small price to pay. It is up to you. I want to bring a term to you called Project Based Learning. See this site for a free article http://www.edutopia.org./user185983.edia/profile. Students basically are applying learning to real world applications or doing case studies. I think this is great for all students but specifically for students with disabilities. Grants from Youth Service America and Service Learning are available for teachers to apply as well as other nonprofits and areas. The next to PDF’s are a result of a ten year study by The National Autism Center’s National Standard’s Report. They deal with best practices in education in healthcare. The one on healthcare can be download by a family touched by autism I believe. The one one on education is free to teachers, educators and maybe homeschoolers. At least this is my understanding. Please read all the declarations and instructions on all the sites and follow the rules. And below are the exact PDF names of the reports: NAC EdManuel1_Finalpdf NAC NSPReport_FINPDF I know these will be of great to use to families, teachers, providers and others working with or associated with autism and special needs.

Our Role In Afghanistan

    So, according to reports, the US government is negotiating with the Afghan government with regards to the role of our military in their country. If you remember, over a year ago, the administration said that we would be out of Afghanistan, leaving a small contingent. Evidently, now they are trying to finalize the terms.

    The yet unsigned agreement calls for a contingent of American troops to remain in Afghanistan in a security and training capacity. The agreement says that although there may be a need to conduct missions against Al-Qaeda, Afghan officials do not want American forces to have the ability to arrest or search homes or other real estate properties.  They also want the troop numbers to be between 10,000 and 15,000 personnel, while the administration claims the number will be around 6,000 to 8,000.

    Current rules of engagement under which our men and women operate basically puts targets on their backs. Soldiers and Marines under fire must get permission to return fire. If insurgents are seen entering a building or home, our troops can’t fire on the structure until it is certain there are no innocents in the building. Unfortunately, the insurgents don’t operate under the same ROE. They don’t even care if they kill some of their own people during a firefight. In the end, they’ll blame it on the Americans.

    This plan will keep billions of taxpayer money going to fund and equip the Afghan military, which is thoroughly infiltrated by insurgents. It places the American troops mostly defending outposts, the positions of which are known by those insurgents. This agreement for all intents and purposes places our troops in the position of hostages to the Afghan government to ensure future payments and equipment, possibly indefinitely. This administration even helps the enemy by giving millions of dollars to companies to build in Afghanistan, even though they are known to fund terror groups.

    The Afghans want one more thing. They want an official apology from the President of the United States for anything they think any American may have done at anytime that might be construed as offensive to any Afghan. This is being considered by this administration. It is, after all, one of the few things Barack Hussein Obama does well; apologize for American Exceptionalism wherever it remains uncrushed by his administration!

    It is time (or way past time) for our troops to be pulled out of Afghanistan and let Karzai and his Afghan leadership sink or swim. There should be no further funding to their government or no other shipments of arms unless paid for by them. Let the Afghan government be concerned with winning the hearts and minds of their own people. The policy of the United States should be if we must send in our troops to help another country, they should be given the rules of engagement that allows them to win decisively, then come home!

    With regards to the apology, I’m an American and never have I apologized for that. I served in Vietnam and never apologized for that (nor will I ever). I served in the US Marines for 25 years and am proud of my service and have never felt apologetic for that service. I’m positive those who have served in Afghanistan, as well as Iraq, feel the same pride. The administration should never apologize for the men and women  who serve our Armed Forces. He should apologize TO those in the military. Perhaps he could start with the families of those he helped kill in Benghazi and those he helped kill during Extortion 17!

Pentagon Can’t Account For 8.5 Trillion Taxpayer Dollars

November 19, 2013 by Sam Rolley 

Pentagon Can’t Account For 8.5 Trillion Taxpayer Dollars
FILE

A recent investigation has revealed that the Pentagon has failed to account for $8.5 trillion dollars of taxpayer money Congress has allocated toward the U.S. Department of Defense since 1996.

According to the report, out from Reuters, the Pentagon has routinely cooked its books by failing to supply a clear monthly account of the money spent for Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS).

Via Reuters:

Linda Woodford spent the last 15 years of her career inserting phony numbers in the U.S. Department of Defense’s accounts.

Every month until she retired in 2011, she says, the day came when the Navy would start dumping numbers on the Cleveland, Ohio, office of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, the Pentagon’s main accounting agency. Using the data they received, Woodford and her fellow DFAS accountants there set about preparing monthly reports to square the Navy’s books with the U.S. Treasury’s — a balancing-the-checkbook manoeuvre required of all the military services and other Pentagon agencies.

And every month, they encountered the same problem. Numbers were missing. Numbers were clearly wrong. Numbers came with no explanation of how the money had been spent or which congressional appropriation it came from. “A lot of times there were issues of numbers being inaccurate,” Woodford says. “We didn’t have the detail … for a lot of it.”

The data flooded in just two days before deadline. As the clock ticked down, Woodford says, staff were able to resolve a lot of the false entries through hurried calls and emails to Navy personnel, but many mystery numbers remained. For those, Woodford and her colleagues were told by superiors to take “unsubstantiated change actions” — in other words, enter false numbers, commonly called “plugs,” to make the Navy’s totals match the Treasury’s.

The news agency revealed that for the fiscal year 2012, it is “impossible to determine” how much of the $565 billion Congress budgeted for the Pentagon was used for its intended purpose.

The report also reveals numerous examples of unnecessary military spending as well as about a half trillion dollars in unaudited contracts with private companies, meaning there is no way to tell whether goods and services were ever actually delivered to the Defense Department.

“The Pentagon can’t manage what it can’t measure, and Congress can’t effectively perform its constitutional oversight role if it doesn’t know how the Pentagon is spending taxpayer dollars,” Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said in an email response to Reuters. “Until the Pentagon produces a viable financial audit, it won’t be able to effectively prioritize its spending, and it will continue to violate the Constitution and put our national security at risk.”

Coburn and Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) have introduced bipartisan legislation to limit funding for new Pentagon programs and prohibit the purchase of new technology if the Defense Department is not ready for audits by 2017.

That the Pentagon is bad at tracking taxpayer money is nothing new. In fact, on the day before the terror attacks on 9/11 that lead to more than a decade of ramped up military spending, then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced, “According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 Trillion dollars in transactions.”

Rumsfeld went on to say that America’s “adversary is closer to home, it’s the Pentagon bureaucracy.”

The next day, however, the Trade Centers fell and talk about wasteful military spending was forgotten.

Anger, I am told is right below the surface; with lots of it.

Not, that I am wrong but a bit, “Way over the top!” By a long time doctor and sister.

Ground into my gut; while stuck in my throat.

Everyone’s got a say; a right to get my goat.

Right wasn’t how I was treated!.  Heck missed fractures, screwed with my professional life and all while I was either over or under medicated most of the time.

Fracked up I was. Locked into the extremely bad Doc’s  care ‘n’ of OKC Trauma Center; is my opinion.

Least I have a right to my opinion. Not fair these got to others to choose where my medicare was given to me.

Arranged were long IQ tests by yet a stupid intern; because I made a super lab test rat.

Really had no caring for sharing how to do it right! What it was all about!  Or, look up the drugs that given would surely drive all IQ’s to the gutter from any cluster!

Erase their mistakes or state them right; they were mistaken.

Sir, No sir! Not fair for me.  Never cared for my career. 

Supposedly, the public I would treat.

After all it is their duty to the public; asses forgot I was their patient and public too.

Fair is what I care.  Right I understand. Take care of the public with my interests at hand!

Tell the world about my secrets.

All the need to know is judgement by another pharmacist.

Ecclesiastics tells of a time for everything. 

Right will get you when God demands. Saying this to you and myself.

Mild brain injury! Sure if screwed with anger, that is mild.

Traumatic to me doesn’t describe the personal revelations of blank I must come to terms with and face.

Brain, I know I have the ability to achieve; heck work is the one place I still excel.

Injury, Imangine how you would feel actually having injuries; feeling crazy, turned around living here and there.

And, what else have I missed?

When is key in my career. A major incidental developmental occurred in a jump for my profession. Due to delay, I missed a chance.

Rounding which base now? Always I feel like I can never go home for me the old Sandra does not exist.

Exchange these years to go back to a different future. No that isn’t what I’m saying. Would have been nice to treated with some respect.

Calling this all what? I have to be compelled to answer; collections of my outbursts.

Klinging to the past? I am not either!

Amplify this

Now by

Going on Empty

Revolving in a door is surreal.

Now is the time to

Open the

Window and breathe to expel

as much anger as I can.

God please let me do so I can understand!

Days of Escape

Escape isn't real!

Or, will always be until,

Time breaks or crushes 

Upon us like a rash!

 

Itches or irritations

Life is filled.

Can escape,

Offer a Cure?

 

Some say, "Yes!"                "No!'             or      "Maybe."

If you replied, "Yes."           Heal bent                This group

What a mess!                     Everyone's to           Learns to live 

Not a cure, you a runner.     be unhappy             And survive.

 

Cruelty is part of life.

Seems that is the deal.

But inbetweens,

Can fly us almost to heaven!

 

Escape to be and act,

As an ape if you take off 

Your cape of ill will.

Get you going everywhere n every time!

 

Remember the movie

"Magic Jack?" 

It will improve

Activity in the sack!

 

Vacations unlimited, 

Short or long,

Escape is only a term.

For brief outlook or meditation of another form.

Made of course,

For those that stick it out

Run away does not deal

How selfish suicides are!

 

Still suicidal

Doesn't aggravate

Or Stagnate

I say choose your weapon!!!

 

So go ahead,

Escape the 

Drapes Plates

Parlor Time.

What does it matter? 

Done right you are dead in the scene. 

Poor little you!! 

This is the only true escape

Left no note,

No Idea this is for real   

This is deal. 

The only true escape

Think again,

Again and again,

A vacation escape

Is much smarter than you think.

Sides, God will 

Holler you name

When it is the time

Your doing fine!  Come home now!

I doubt they take this comment serious. I have no idea what political clout you have. But put your education where your mouth is. And educated person with doctorate degree wouldn't provide facts and examples.

You act like the very children on the playground that call names and bully. Calling names because they have no emotional maturity. Why should we believe this because you say it is so.

Again what makes you the Queen of the world? I welcome civil discourse that brings about innovative change. I do not welcome people that state things without backing them up. If you could have you should have.

Because you say so doesn't mean it. I have a son that I care about. You say something but without stating where or what is unprofessional. Leads me to believe you can't back what you say. Which is at the crux of what people are doing all along the way. If you can prove it is wrong then do so. I am calling you on the carpet so to speak.

Some of us have careers and are not on this site every day. I offered you the specifics when I closed your hate speech in the other forum.

Your comments in my personal inbox show that your is an opinion that is fueled by hate. Your blog is riddled with nothing but attack for anyone who opposes your views.

My knowledge of Project SEARCH is deep as I ram a site in St Louis, there is no cost sharing; only opportunities for students to convert to intern status in their final year of high school as they are immersed in opportunities to benefit from being full time in the business site rehearsing the soft skills that most often impede young adults with autism or other IDEA addressed issues from being successful in the workplace. The partnerships with local community resources, the families and the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation are instrumental in preparing kids for life after IEPs.

I now ask you to cease and desist and i see any further comments such as these attacking me on this forum, or any other, including your blog, or any other format, I will report to the authorities and cite your for Cyber bullying as it will not be tolerated.

Autism- No Simple Answer Says Sandra “But here goes my try!”

Autism? Simple answers? No! Here is
Sandra’s try at an explanation.
Autism has good graces.
Visit upon us to bless upon.
Doesn’t mean one shouldn’t ask,
“Why? What? When? Where and how?”
God could have intended
You being intentioned in the unhinging of the process.
Vaccination’s that is the key!
Say many with adamation!
I agree for them it could be,
A factor, insult that hit on.
Pharmacist in me says, the study was too small to make it a hallmark.
Flip the coin, drug makers threw around money, plus shouted out!!
Next, a group says environment 
Causes problems no doubt.
Environmental insult.
Yep, that is why my child is shut into autism.
Remember here, environmental can be
From chemicals & diseases stalking inside to make their stand.
From, things like maybe Grandpa’s Agent Orange,
To a baby’s hospital stay due to RSV!
May yet wave
The Genetics Flag.
Throw into this mix, I will; smaller families, often an only child
That insists to be totally plugged into away from others.
Oh, how simple it would be
One answer, if could only twas or could be.
Yet, still I want to pose
Older parents, sperms and eggs as a contribution variable.
Not a reason not to conceive!
But to be aware more defects, mutations with age do occur.
Can one really say,
One cause is for autism?
Look at cancer! Common threads
There, still many different scenarios.
Genetics predispose, environmental assaults,
Turns on gene with a society that is ripe in culture and age of parents?
Yet, it matters!
No, it doesn’t matter!
Sound so crazy?
Yes, to help. No because we love and deal with it no matter what!
We learn what can and must be done.
But better realize the blame game must stop.
One answer might be cause in 1% of cases ( just me thinking),
Reality is autism is complex.
Complex, autism really is!
Yet, then is simple too.
Reaching out is what I want to do.
Remember right answers lead to correct therapy n treatments!
Wrong guesses and blame may only
Lead to burying data and wrong wizardly haphazard disasters.
Science, true keeps an open mind!
God is the first and Ultimate Scientist.
Together are we able
To do and can do n be our best.
In some ways the riddle of autism
Is not to be solved!
God means us to be 
Who we are as he made us!
Change is something 
All of us must do.
Adapting to you and others
Is being kind.
Let us not get behind
Stay in the forefront.
Doing out best to unlock the riddle
As much in prayer; God intends us to do!
I am sure by helping 
We learn God’s lessons.
Helping those with autism 
I bet could be a society improvement, God intends us to do.
No answer complete do I have;
Except my son is a blessing some may say  in disguise!
God we will accept your answers.
Thank you God! Amen!

Normally I don't blog about political matters. However, today I will break that silence. Why? Like many of you, I have become quite concerned with America and the direction in which it is heading. As Mark Levin says, we are now living in "Ameritopia."

Under the Obama doctrine, we live under authoritarian and an ever-growng bureaucratic rule. Congress--and that includes progressive Republicans--has fallen in goose-step line with him and his marxist agenda. So has the Supreme Court, thanks to John Roberts whose vote ordained the Obamacare law as "constitutional." (In truth, Roberts rewrote the law as a tax to satisfy those who promoted it as a penalty. Tax. Penalty. What's the difference?) It is amazing to me how a [unconstitutional] law, which no one in D.C. has ever read, can dictate to We the People what we can and cannot do in regard to our own health care.

Sadly, there's more--much more. As Dr. Levin contends, we live in a form of soft tyranny. This president has lied to us time and time again. Examples: Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS and NSA scandals. I never thought I would say this in my lifetime, but we live under the heel of a dictator whom the print media have embraced and who has with his snake-oil charm and propaganda duped the American people into voting for him twice. Very sad.

One of the things that really irks me about this bureaucratic government takeover of our liberties is the mistreatment of our military personnel, their families and our veterans. They are losing the very benefits for which they fought, and in many instances gave their lives. This is outrageous. A prime example of this abomination is the purposeful maneuver of the Veterans Administration of putting veteran benefits on hold. Many of our heroes have waited several years just for their applications to be reviewed. And what have our elected officials done to fix this problem? Nothing.

But I won't stand by idly. I will continue to do whatever I can, mostly through the net proceeds of the sales of my military novels, to financially help our disabled and homeless veterans. It is the best way I know to demonstrate my cause to help our military and veterans, all of whom gave so much so that I might live in freedom. Please join me in doing whatever you can in saving our great constitutional republic from the iron-fisted tyranny in which we now find ourselves. With God's help, we will win in the end.

God bless America!

rights< use them or loose them!

AMERICA!! The national safety agency is conducting random traffic stops asking for DNA, blood samples and breath analysis in 30 cities.  You DO NOT have to comply, they do not have legal authority to even pull you over without cause.  If you come across one of these stops and do not want to stop, in a courteous manner, tell the officer you do not want to stop, does he have cause for the stop, if not you are within your rights to proceed.  If you simply comply, against your will, you are accepting tyranny, treason and Marxist rule.  Always be courteous and respectful and know the Constitution as well as your rights, use your Freedom and Rights or loose them!

4063776293?profile=originalShould Gay Minister’s Marriage Be Allowed

                in Your Church?

There is something fundamentally wrong in American society when a minister can take the oath of office as a servant and shepherd of God and erect a wall hiding her hidden practices of deceit. This is exactly what Bishop Allyson D. Nelson Abrams, 43 of Detroit did, when she married a female bishop and hid her act from the church, according to the Detroit Free Press. Is this the type of church leadership you should expect from your minister of the flock?

Her church membership was rightly upset and shocked by their pastoral leader because she had attained a coveted leadership position at Zion Progress Baptist Church. Bishop Adams also held office as secretary to the nationally powerful Detroit-based Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and Vicinity. This religious leadership organization of several hundred ministers has been host to political powerhouse mayoral and Michigan gubernatorial candidates, and even candidates for President of the United States.

The Detroit Free Press also indicated that Bishop Abrams was the co-editor of the Progressive National Baptist Convention’s magazine. So in effect, Bishop Nelson had the ability to neuter or even eliminate, over time the long held conservative beliefs of the black church that same-sex marriage is against the teaching of the Bible.

Yet, this minister who did not practice what her moral biblical teachings demanded attempted to find biblical cover for her marriage to Diana Williams, a retired bishop with the Imani Temple African-American Catholic Congregation, located in Washington D.C. Bishop Abrams incorrectly claims that it was the very word of God that gives her and others the right to secure same-sex marriage vows.

Bishop Abrams explained to the Michigan Chronicle that her romantic and eventual marriage to Diana Williams was protected, because, “The references in the Bible that discussed ‘homosexual acts’ referred to popular male prostitution during that time,” said Abrams. “The men would have sex with the male prostitutes, often. This is what was discouraged in Scriptures.”

She weakly cites, St. Luke 7:1-10, which she claims shows that a male servant and his master had love for each other. It appears that Bishop Nelson may have been playing theological hooky that day when her ministerial studies class covered that chapter in St. Luke. If Bishop Adams had even bothered to re-examine her own teachings before she became entangled in this biblically forbidden liaison she would have understood the true meaning of her own erroneously chosen biblical defense.

Please help me distribute the linked below observations and questions that each person should ask their health care professionals and questions to consider. History is our teacher, the present is our test and the future will grade US. This is not our first time seeing this movie - it is a remake of FDR who exerted executive power and experimented with ideas which made private enterprise unable to predict and invest inflicting pain on the American working class - check the essay, The Forgotten Man by William Graham Sumner (1840-1910), a Professor of Political Economy and of Sociology at Yale    http://wp.me/pW1O1-1Y          which is the name of Amity Schlaes book describing an earlier version of this play with similar results.

mr. obama – TEAR DOWN THIS LAW!

mr. obama – TEAR DOWN THIS LAW!

Someone told me that with obummer , every morning is the dawn of a new error.

I don’t think so. Every morning is a new chance to continue his mission to transform

our Rebublic into a 3rd world communist cesspool.

He makes errors. Everybody does. But most of his actions are the result of cold, calculated, malicious,

plans to destroy America. The ACA is simply just one more of many other results he has gotten away with because nobody (at least way too few) in Congress have the fortitude to call him out.

 

Fortunately, the ACA has provided some Sunshine , that great disinfectant. The heat from obamacare

has finally awoken enough citizens that the DC gang is worried about their jobs.

 

obamacare  has been outed as the greatest job killer program ever perpetrated by the Gov’t. Ironically it finally reached the point of personal pain when it threatened the jobs of democraps; and precipitated yet another LIE from nobummer. His FIX, you see, is NOT a FIX for Americans with an insurance problem. His FIX is nothing more than a deception (very poorly veiled) to take some heat off those poor frightened democraps thru the 2014 elections. After that, his FIX is …. Back to losing your insurance.

He did make an error when he refused to negotiate over delaying the ACA. The Nation would have benefited if agreements were reached. However, those agreements would NOT carry the banner of “I/ME” did it. So he refused to negotiate and was later forced (by his own democraps) to apply the FIX.

The end result is that HE has been outed as a LIAR, regardless of oprah.

 

For that and many other egregious failures he needs to be Impeached, or likely better tried for treason or as a subversive. But the spineless, self-serving, gang in DC won’t do that.

The ACA , like prohibition and segregation, needs to be dismantled, unfunded, repealed.

If Ronald Reagan were alive today I sure we would hear………………..

mr. obama, tear down this law!

This just Pisses me off!

 

Why is it that when you try to impart what I term as " Turds of Wisdom" to someone, they continue to disregard your information. I realize that this may sound petty, but I have been through many situations throughout the 50 years of my lifetime, and have experienced so many different things and experimented with all types of solutions to solve the answers to problems that have been presented to me throughout my lifetime yet this Wisdom I have garnered throughout all of that is nothing to these people.

I have to quote from who I consider my mentors on the topics of which I speak of and that would be both Albert Einstein and Robert Heinlein. Now of course these men are both dead which means they can’t argue with me, but their words will live on forever….

"The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive. "

or

"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."

Or one you might find this one more appropriate to this blog tr y this from Robert Heinlein:

This reminds me of a message I sent to my Doctor’s secretary concerning some normal lab-work orders that I have been getting for the past 10 years…  please remember that most of the "cast" is the same and the orders are "Standing Orders":

I don’t doubt you at all I told the Admin.   As I said, the older ladies that I deal with at the front desk always tend to make an issue out of having to find an order that they say that they do not have; I have sat in that office for 3 hours sometimes, or Left and came back, or  just waiting for an order to arrive by FAX from the  clinic, but I think their Servers in the city aren’t Updating their remote office properly, and/or they do not know how to operate a FAX machine, or change the paper, or they are waiting  for the person that "Does" know how to change the paper in the FAX machine to get back from their break or some such thing. Either way… I know YOU sent the Orders….

History does not record anywhere a religion that has any rational basis.
Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help.
But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.
