It's Almost 2010

It's almost another 2010 and the kick off of another year. I will start the year by turning another year older and hit the ground running looking at an awesome 2010. I have no idea what challenges 2010 will bring but if I am prepared and focused it will be good. I am going to spend the next few days brain storming and goal planning on finances, family, work, disability advocacy work and some health and fitness. I hope you all had a great Christmas, Hanukkah or Holiday season and while I have not been blogging allot I am going to try to get motivated again....if that pesky Facebook will let me be....

Peace Dude....

Governor Daniels set to cut more

Indy Star Article here

You know when Governor Kernan's revenue estimates came in low it was Candidate Daniels who commented " They are not bad people just bad at governing".

Mr. Governor does the same quote apply to your people? I know the economy is tough and it's not easy but you made the comment and it's now your team that can't forecast.

So now good hard working state employee's will get a pay freeze or laid off. But hey those so called high performers like Mitch Roob will get a increse and a bonus....remember his $50k increase from FSSA to Economic Development. Hmmm...

How about we cancel the contracts of all the high paid consultants that this administration relies on????

IDEA and Article 7

Attended an update class on the law yesterday. Was good for a refresher and some updated ideas and rulings I was not aware of.

Did you all know that IDEA will start it's reauthorization in Congress again next year? With all the talk about failing schools and the blame always headed toward special education what should we expect?

Are we willing to roll up our sleeves and get to work to make the law stronger?

More to come.

Peace Dude...

Hmmm, Now what....

Hello Everyone.

It has been way to long since I posted on The Tales. I have been facebooking quite a bit of late and has taken me away from my blog. Sorry about that.

I am trying to decide a direction to take the tales....politics, disability issues, Healthcare or all just stuff.......


More to come as soon as I figure out what I want to talk and rant about...

Erik Sean Nelson Article about Sarah Palin and the Retardation Platform

And now....


Erik Sean Nelson's wimpy apology

I read The Huffington Post quite often and if Ms Huffington does not take a stand on this and fire this goof ball right away then I will try my best to become a big headache to their company.

Fire him and make a donation to The Arc of The United States and The National Down Syndrome Society and let's get back to what is important.

This guy's lame excuse was he was trying to be funny......well my old line for years has been....there are a 100,000 comedians out of work and this dumb ass thinks he is funny......

Give me a break.....

Peace Dude.

Rare prenatal testing case raises ethical questions

by Aimee Green, The Oregonian
Saturday June 13, 2009, 9:45 PM
In the months before their daughter was born in 2007, Deborah and Ariel Levy worried the baby might have Down syndrome.
They say a doctor at the Legacy Center for Maternal-Fetal Medicine assured them that a sample of tissue taken from the placenta early in the pregnancy ruled out the developmental disability, despite the results of later testing that showed the fetus might have it.
But within days of the birth of their daughter, the Southwest Portland couple learned the baby did have Down syndrome. Had they known, they say, they would have terminated the pregnancy. Now they're suing in Multnomah County Circuit Court, seeking more than $14 million to cover the costs of raising her and providing education, medical care, and speech and physical therapy for their daughter, who turned 2 this month. The suit also seeks money to cover her life-long living expenses.

I will be very interested in your thoughts on this case folks. I for one think these people and their attorney are a joke.

WoofStock

We headed out yesterday to a fund raiser for the Hamilton County Humane Society called WoofStock. It was held at Deer Creek Amphitheater which I still call it instead of referring to it by it's corporate sponsorship name. WoofStock was a blast and I hope they raised alot of money for the cause.

Nash and Seger sure had a great time.
