After a singer from Kazakhstan, two magicians, a giant children's choir, a spoken-word artist, a man who did tricks with dogs and more, LSU freshman basketball standout Flau'jae  Johnson took the stage Monday night on NBC's “America's Got Talent: All-Stars.” All were competing for one spot to move on to the competition finals. At 14, Johnson was originally on season 13 of “AGT,” in which she dedicated her performance to her father, a rapper named Camouflage who was murdered when her mother was pregnant with her. As she approached the stage, one of the judges turned to Johnson's mother, Kia Brooks, and said, “Are you nervous, Mom?” Brooks said that she wasn't nervous at all because she “created a beast.” Johnson performed her rap song confidently, the lyrics including a basketball reference to “making three” and her outlook on the promise of the future, “Ready or not, here I come.” Judge Howie Mandel told her that she was a beast to be reckoned with and that she was talented. Judge Heidi Klum also was a fan, as was Simon Cowell. However, Kodi Lee, a visually impaired singer-songwriter and pianist, won the episode. You can catch Johnson on TV tonight, in a different role. Her number four ranked LSU Tigers will be hosting Ole Miss at 9:00 PM on SEC Network. The Cobb Planning Commission unanimously denied the request from an organization affiliated with Kennesaw State University to open a Jewish student center in a residential area near KSU's Kennesaw campus. The commission's vote was 4-0, with Chairman Stephen Vault absent. At a December hearing, the commission tabled the request from Hillels of Georgia for a special land use permit to use a rented house on Frey Lake Road for a Jewish student center serving KSU students. Hillels of Georgia has rented the home since the start of the 2022 school year. Ten residents in the area were at Tuesday's meeting in opposition to the request. Phil Anzalone, a representative from the Pinetree Civic Association who spoke against the request in December, reiterated that his and other residents' opposition was not faith-based. Neighbors' concerns about the location included lack of available parking along Frey Road and noise that might come from the deck of the home during events. Commissioner Deborah Dance made the motion to recommend denying the request “based upon the opposition and based upon articulated burdens and impacts of this proposal upon a residential neighborhood.” Since the Planning Commission's decision is a recommendation for denial, the decision is not final. The Cobb Board of Commissioners will hear the case at its meeting on Tuesday, February 21 at 9 a.m. at 100 Cherokee St. Cobb Sheriff Craig Owens announced Monday that a deputy recruit has been fired and arrested following an altercation with a Cobb jail inmate over the weekend. Owens said during a press conference that Jacqun Brown of Austell, a recruit with the sheriff's office, was arrested at 3:15 p.m. Monday for his alleged role in the altercation. The altercation occurred on Saturday, as the 24-year-old Brown was attempting to move inmate Matthew Cubbage of Smyrna inside Lima Pod, Dorm 3, to deescalate a situation in which Cubbage had caused a disturbance, Owens said. According to a warrant for Brown's arrest, he repeatedly punched and placed Cubbage in a choke hold. Cubbage was being held at the jail for allegedly trafficking heroin, fentanyl and meth. Cubbage received cuts, bruises and scratches on his head, shoulders and lower back area, according to Brown's arrest warrant. The entire incident was captured on video inside the dormitory. More than a decade after the final Marietta-made Lockheed Martin F-22 rolled off the assembly lines, the F-22 program notched its first air-to-air “kill” this weekend as it shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon over the South Carolina coast. The balloon, which was spotted earlier in the week over Montana and Idaho, traversed across the U.S. last week before being hit with a missile off the South Carolina coast Saturday. A Lockheed spokesperson confirmed the fighter, stationed at Langley Air Force Base, was one of nearly 200 F-22's built at the sprawling Marietta plant. The F-22 pilot used a single AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missile to bring down the balloon, the Department of Defense said. As of Monday, the United States had begun to recover parts of the balloon from the Atlantic Ocean. Chinese officials have taken responsibility for the balloon, but claimed it was a weather-monitoring device, an argument rejected by U.S. military officials. China has criticized the U.S. shooting it down as a “clear overreaction.” The maiden voyage of the F-22 was in September 1997, when the first Raptor was flown out of Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta by then-51-year-old Marietta resident Paul Metz. Lockheed built 187 of the aircraft between 1991 and 2011, with the Marietta plant serving as the final assembly point for the plane. In 2005, at peak production, there were 5,600 employees working on the aircraft, 944 of them in Marietta. The Cobb Planning Commission approved a 21-home subdivision in west Cobb at its meeting Tuesday. The proposal from Brock Built Homes covers about 14 acres on Friendship Church Road, just down the street from Hillgrove High School. The request was approved 4-0 by the commission, with Chairman Stephen Vault absent. The rezoning request was for smaller land lots than what the area was previously zoned for, and the applicant also requested rezoning to an open space community, aimed at preserving greenspace to promote environmental sustainability in the development. The subdivision would have five acres of open space, according to the rezoning application. In other business, the commission approved a filmmaker's request to park a truck full of his equipment in the driveway of his east Cobb home. Roger Alexander said his request resulted from fear of “a coordinated crime ring” he said has been breaking into film studios around the Atlanta metro area and stealing millions of dollars' worth of equipment. For that reason, Alexander explained, he decided to move his gear into a box truck and park the truck in his driveway, behind a wooden gate. He was requesting a land use permit from the county to keep the truck in his driveway. The commission voted 4-0 to approve Alexander's request for up to 2 years. A former Osborne High School teacher received a three-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to having an illegal relationship with a student, the Cobb District Attorney's office confirmed Tuesday. Zachary Warren White, of Marietta, was first charged in 2021 after being accused of having sex with a student in his school office when he was employed as a graphic arts teacher. He was originally charged with two counts of sexual assault by a teacher. White pled guilty to one felony count of improper sexual contact by an employee or agent, per District Attorney Flynn Broady. In addition to his three years in prison, he will serve seven years on probation. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com            See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mabuting Balita | Enero 18, 2023 Miyerkules sa Ikalawang Linggo ng Taon Ebanghelyo: Marcos 3:1-6 Pumasok si Jesus sa sinagoga, at naroon ang isang lalaki na hindi maigalaw ang kamay, at may gusto ring isumbong si Jesus. Kaya nagmasid sila at baka pagalingin siya ni Jesus sa Araw ng Pahinga. At sinabi naman niya sa taong hindi maigalaw ang kamay: “Tumindig ka sa gitna.” “Ano ang ipinahihintulot sa Araw ng Pahinga, gumawa ng mabuti o gumawa ng masama, magligtas ng buhay o pumatay?” At hindi sila umimik. Kaya tiningnan niya silang lahat, na nagagalit at nalulungkot dahil sa katigasan ng kanilang puso, at sinabi sa lalaki: “lunat mo ang iyong kamay.” Iniunat nga ng tao ang kamay at gumaling ito. Pagkalabas ng mga Pariseo, nakipagtipon sila sa mga kakampi ni Herodes para masiraan nila siya. Pagninilay: Iunat mo ang iyong kamay! Isang makahulugang atas. Atas na nagpanibago ng buhay ng taong may patay na kamay. Maaaring hindi lang ng kamay kundi ng kanyang buong pagkatao. Kung siguro tayo ang witness ng nangyari, mapapa-OMG tayo. May kasama pang wow emoticon! Alam nyo, mga kapanalig, kapag bumababa ang sigla ng aking spirit, bukod sa prayers, nanonood ako ng American o British Got Talent. Marami doon na sumasali na may golden voicespero may pinagdaraanan sila na mabigat na problema. O kaya, may traumatic experiences na hindi pa nila na-oovercome. Halimbawa, bullying, mga frustrations sa buhay, o non-acceptance dahil handicapped. Pero sa pag-stretch ng kamay to reach the golden buzzer mula sa isang judge, at sa pag-ulan ng golden confetti sa kanilang kabuuan, nagkakaroon sila ng panibagong buhay. Katulad ni Simon Cowell, alam nyo ba na naging nightmare child siya? Sa kanyang mga kamay, kamuntik na niyang masunog ang kanilang bahay just to prove na walang Santa Claus. Ten years old lang siya, sa kanyang mga kamay sinira niya ang kotse ng father nya. Naghi-jack din siya ng isang bus. It was a pretend hijack na hawak sa kamay niya ang pretend gun. Kaya nakulong siya. Marami ang ginawa ng mga lito niyang kamay noong bata pa siya. Ngayong producer na completely changed na siya. Marami na siyang nabigyang buhay dahil sa golden buzzer. Tulad ni Kodi Lee, bulag na, autistic pa. Magaling ang bises. Mahusay mag-piano. Si Jane Marczewski noong nabubuhay pa siya. May taning na ang buhay niya noon dahil sa cancer sa lungs, sa spine at sa liver. Inilaban niya ang original song niya na “It's Okay.” Mula sa dating mapinsalang kamay ni Simon Cowell, na-transform sa nakakapagbigay-buhay. Inaamin ko na napapaiyak ako kapag hindi masukat ang tuwa ng nakakatanggap ng golden buzzer tulad ni Kodi, ni Jane. In watching that program para na rin akong nakakapanood ng live miracle. Ako rin, natatransform. Nagkakaroon ng buhay mula sa panghihina ng kalooban. Maraming Simon Powell sa atin ngayon. Mayroon din tayong pinagdaanan na “tigas ng ulo o tigas ng puso moments” pero may conversion experience din tayo. Sa pag-stretch ng kamay natin, nagiging golden buzzers na rin tayo. Dahil dito, nagiging-panibagong wangis tayo ni Jesus para sa iba. Kaya ngayong Bagong Taon, puspusin natin ng golden confetti ang kapwa natin. W.O. L.O. We only live once. Narito ang golden confetti Tanggapin at ibahagi ang buhay na galing kay Jesus. - Sr. Gemmaria dela Cruz, fsp | Daughters of St. Paul

Photo Credit: Matthew Cipican   I'm pained to open with the platitude that these are unprecedented times. We all already know that and belaboring it for the purpose of a proper opening paragraph seems to belittle the magnitude of the moment.   The truth is that I've been having a hard time coming up with the right place to start the next conversation on this blog. I had developed a publishing schedule for Making Special Education Actually Work just before the pandemic hit and the schools in California, where we are headquartered, shut down.   All of that went out the window the moment the shutdown started and I've since published some bits about how to respond to the situation based on what was known at the time of each publication, but how things have continued to play out, or not, from one school district to the next has been nothing short of pandemonium. Some of my kids have done so much better with distance learning that they never want to leave their houses again. Others have regressed so greatly since the shutdown started that it's going to take years to undo the damage that has been done and catch them up to the degree its possible to do so.   Each kid, as a unique individual learner, has experienced the shutdown differently, but all of them are experiencing the same procedural violation at the hands of their Local Education Agencies (LEAs): Failure to implement the Individualized Education Program (IEP) as written. Or, framed in the language of the regulations, failure of the education rendered to conform with each student's respective IEP.   In California, the State has already assumed that compensatory remedy will be due to most, if not all, of its special education students because of the shutdown. None of the laws changed. There are permissible, though narrow caveats, in the law that provide for extenuating circumstances.   While the implementing regulations of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandate the application of evidence-based science to the design and delivery of special education on a child-by-child basis, it is only to the degree that the application of the science is practicable. LEAs bear the burden of proving that the delivery of a special education service is not practicable before denying it and giving notice of such via a Prior Written Notice (PWN).   The real dispute, it seems, is over what is realistically practicable given the circumstances, but that first requires us to operationally define what we mean by practicable, and that's a problem. There is no legal authority or professional standard for what defines "practicable" within the context of 34 CFR Sec. 300.320(a)(4).   I know this because the operational definition of "practicable" was one of the burning questions I had when I went back to graduate school in 2011 and had answered by the time I graduated in 2013. The truth is that there is no operational definition in the scientific literature or the case law as to what is meant by the term, "practicable."   Even Perry Zirkel was stymied by this question and ultimately concluded that most courts interpreted the definition of "practicability" as something to be left to the discretion of local education agencies - meaning, really, top administrators and board members, who are all politicians - get to decide what is and is not practicable as a matter of local governance. In those LEAs, "practicable" just means "if the LEA wants to."   This, of course, neglects the fact that 34 CFR Secs. 300.320-300.324 vests the authority in IEP teams, which include the parents, to make determinations as to what is educationally necessary and, therefore, the obligation of the LEA to provide to each given special education student. If that authority is vested in the IEP team, then no one from the LEA on the IEP team should have to go get the approval or permission of a superior outside of the IEP meeting, particularly when that superior has no direct knowledge of the student's unique needs or the IEP team's discussions about them. Whether or not something is practicable should be an IEP team decision, not an internal policy issue, yet the research that has been done suggests its a call to be made by top administrators, not individual IEP teams that include the students' parents.   Further, 34 CFR Sec. 300.321(a)(4)(iii) mandates that each IEP team include at least one LEA representative who is "knowledgeable about the availability of resources of the public agency." Usually, this is an upper-level administrator from the main office who not only knows what resources the LEA has, but has also been granted the authority to commit the LEA's resources to a student's IEP. This can come in the form of committing existing resources to the IEP as well as procuring those materials and services that are not already available through the LEA.   I've been in IEP meetings during which such an administrator fills out and submits online requisitions for use of existing assets, as well as online purchases and purchase orders through their LEA's internal automated workflow system, during IEP meetings as the team agrees to things that are needed but not already on hand. It's not that uncommon and it goes a long way towards doing it right the first time.   Again, there should be no going to someone else outside of the IEP process for permission or approval. In one fairly recent meeting I attended, the school district's administrator on the IEP team shared her screen with the rest of us so we could all look at our options on Amazon together as an IEP team and make the purchasing decision right there. Then, "click," it was ordered and the student had his accommodations the next day. Easy peasy.   The law does not provide for the IEP team's authority to be displaced by or shifted to an uninvolved third party. If no one on the IEP team from the LEA knows whether the LEA already has the necessary resources available or will need to purchase stuff it doesn't already have, it's not a real IEP team.   Because these decisions are IEP team decisions, and not the decisions of removed administrators who are motivated by factors other than the individual needs of each special education student, deferring to top administrators to determine what is or is not "practicable," opens the door for a litany of procedural and substantive errors that will quickly create due process claims against the LEA. It behooves no one for LEAs to play this game, but plenty of them do.   Competent people have no motivation to do sketchy stuff and lie about it, so when you encounter this kind of behavior, it's because you're dealing with people who don't know what else to do and/or are crooked through and through. What we are all now going through as a nation under the current presidential administration is a reflection of the crap I've been dealing with for nearly 30 years in special education local governance. None of this is new to me, it's just now happening on a national scale. Maybe everybody outside of the special education community will finally believe me about this crap, now.   More often than not, what is deemed by an LEA as not being practicable is likely better framed as being something for which the LEA is simply not willing to expend the necessary funds. While it is unlawful under the IDEA to use fiscal considerations to determine the contents of a student's IEP, it happens all the time. The language of IEPs are often deliberately kept vague and weak so that they are difficult to enforce or so that it is otherwise difficult to say that the education rendered failed to conform with the IEP.   I'm seeing this happen in a way with 1:1 behavioral aide support services, right now. I've got families barely holding it together, stuck at home with their severely impacted children who have serious behavioral challenges arising from their disabilities. They'd give anything for in-home 1:1 behavioral services, right now.   And, that's the thing: they should already be getting it under the existing laws. On August 24, 2020, (the day before this post), the California Office of Administrative Hearings, which tries special education due process cases within the State, issued an order making clear that students who require in-person services in order to access and benefit from their educations, including during distance learning, must receive such services according to medically acceptable safety procedures regarding COVID-19.   Behavioral services are medically and educationally necessary, the California Department of Education (CDE) has advised that in-home services during the shutdown may be necessary in order for LEAs to comply with their IDEA requirements under the law, and, now, OAH has ordered a school district to provide in-home services as a matter of stay-put during the shutdown. This is huge! This settles the argument once and for all.   I know of at least one student who is currently getting in-home behavioral services through his health insurance, which is the only reason he was able to participate in distance learning during the last half of the Spring 2020 semester. The same agency currently serving this student through his health insurance had previously served him as a Non-Public Agency (NPA) under his IEP in the public school setting. Same people, different funding source, different willingness to send personnel to his house for in-home, 1:1 behavioral aide services.   His school district has offered to provide an aide online during distance learning, like somehow that's going to produce the same educationally substantive outcome of getting him to engage in the online instruction in the first place and remain engaged throughout each lesson. The boy needs an in-person 1:1 aide in order to access the instruction at all. How is he supposed to access online aide support when he needs in-person aide support to access any kind of online services?   And, he's one of many students on my caseload with similar needs; he's just the only one I know of currently living the experience of having the in-person 1:1 aide support during shutdown and being met with educational success because of it. Everybody else is asserting the need for it, but not getting it, and due process cases are popping up everywhere now, including among my students for whom I never thought litigation would realistically come to fruition.   The legal authorities favor special education students on this issue, and school districts in California are now having to weigh the risk of litigation from unionized employees against the risk of litigation from parents of students with special education needs as this whole debacle clatters forward in the absence of unified leadership across the State's public education system. Many districts are still clinging to outdated paint-by-numbers procedures and fill-in-the-blank on standardized documents and forms, aiming for procedural compliance without thought to the substantive considerations ... like providing 1:1 aide support via Zoom to a student who needs in-person support in order to access instruction via Zoom in the first place.   It's like they think conforming with the IEP in any way complies with procedure, even if it entirely fails to meet the instructional purpose it's supposed to serve from a substantive standpoint. The real tragedy, here, is that these paint-by-numbers bureaucrats don't understand how to act according to the substantive needs of the student; they just want to know which form they are supposed to use.   This significant subset of the public workforce may have memorized many of the procedures for the job and can usually find the right form to use, but don't ask them to actually engage in deductive reasoning, creative problem-solving, troubleshooting, or solution-seeking. They simply can't. They don't think that way. And, the human resources department didn't recruit for people who can think for themselves on purpose.   The middle management jobs require drones who respond to authoritarian hierarchies of leadership and do not question the orders they are given, if the system is going to function according to its bigoted design. And, that is how it has been functioning for the last few decades following the passage of federal civil rights laws, including disability-related laws that first started passing in the early 1970s, up through the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990.   Those laws were necessary because the public education system, among others, was actively discriminating against children with disabilities, including denying them even enrollment. The public education system was already discriminating against students with disabilities or the laws would not have become necessary.   When the laws passed and the public education system was ordered to comply, those individuals who had been philosophically opposed to accommodating learners with disabilities were still employed by the public education system, by and large. They didn't all leave. Many stayed and have been sabotaging it from within this entire time. And, they recruit people who are too incompetent to realize they're being used and/or too afraid of losing their jobs to dare question what is really going on, so they can maintain positions of authority and control according to their own fascist belief systems rather than their mandates under the law.   One of the most powerful things to come out of the current state of affairs in this country is the cracks in the publicly funded systems that people like me have been squawking about to no avail for decades, but which can no longer be denied by the masses. As we move forward to rebuild a better America in the wake of the destruction currently happening all around us perpetrated by people with way more authority than they can responsibly handle, it is painfully obvious that we have a disturbingly large swath of the adult population that "pass" as competent adults but who actually are not.   These individuals occupy a great many niches of society, including in the public sector. Their approach to leadership, when they are allowed into offices that require more of them than what they possess, is destructive. It can ruin a child's future through educational malpractice at the local level or fan the flames of a global pandemic and domestic terrorism at the national level until it ravages the entire nation.   These individuals place cronyism over science because they are not smart enough for the science and, frankly, they're not smart enough to cover the tracks of their cronyism. They have simply had the power of money behind them and those without money have had to tolerate their malarkey as a matter of survival. But, now that tolerance doesn't even achieve survival for those without, so they aren't motivated to tolerate the malarkey anymore. Look out Marie; here comes the guillotine.   Society has finally had its fill of incompetent bullies acting like they are better than the rest of us to the detriment of us all and for no other reason than to stroke their own egos and line their own pockets. We have become aware that they are too dimwitted to realize the harm in what they are doing and too selfish to have any sense of compassion or empathy for the people they hurt.   These individuals are emotionally still children, trapped in their bodies for decades without maturing, thinking their chronological age and changing external appearance are all of what earns them respect as adults, and often unable to fully engage in adult-level problem-solving and critical thinking tasks, but able to develop academic and/or professional skills that can otherwise allow them to "pass" as competent.   These are high-functioning individuals with significant impairments in judgment who engage in intuitive rather than deductive reasoning. Intuitive reasoning is age-typical in young children. It's indicative of an impairment in adulthood. It co-occurs with egocentric thought, in which the individual is incapable of engaging in perspective-taking and appreciating the experiences and viewpoints of others.   An egocentric person is the center of their own personal universe. Everyone else is just an object in orbit around them who may or may not serve a useful purpose at times and is only accessed when the egocentric person thinks an individual is useful.   The egocentric person recognizes his/her/their own agency - that is, the ability to act upon the world to produce intentional outcomes - but they struggle to appreciate the agency of others. They tend to only perceive other people relative to their own thoughts and feelings and fail to consider that other people have their own thoughts and feelings that are each different from one person to the next.   Egocentric people tend to assume that whatever they are thinking and feeling is what everybody else is also thinking and feeling, and/or that everyone else's decisions are made with the egocentric person in mind. The egocentric person struggles with perspective-taking, which requires that they first understand the agency of others and that everyone is preoccupied with their own thoughts and feelings, not making the egocentric person the focus of their every decision.   Errors of omission and thoughtless, inconsiderate acts by others are perceived by egocentric people as deliberate efforts to cause harm or offense to the egocentric person. Because egocentric people assume that whatever they want and need is automatically understood by everyone else, which is because they assume everyone else is thinking and feeling the same things they are, if everyone else fails to deliver according to an egocentric person's expectations, the egocentric person attempts to force the desired response to present itself.   Because they lack the emotional intelligence to navigate many types of complex situations involving other people, whatever cognitive abilities they may actually have don't do them much good. They make errors in judgment when it comes to how they interact with other people; how well they can do math, design a building, or research historical biographies just doesn't matter in that moment.   When people like this become employed within the public sector and have to make policy decisions, they are incapable of putting themselves into the shoes of their constituents and engaging in legitimate representation and advocacy for services that meet the of needs of those they have been hired to serve. Because of their egocentrism, the job is a means to a self-serving end. Also because of their social/emotional developmental impairments, their ability to actually engage in adult-level problem-solving as required by their positions is equally limited.   Because they can't actually meet the performance requirements of the job, they find ways to socially engineer their ways to the top, including taking credit for the accomplishments of their subordinates while sycophantically leeching onto the coattails of those who have grifted their way up the food chain before them. They all keep each other's dirty little secrets about not actually being able to do their jobs and abusing their positions of authority to the benefit of the highest bidder, be the currency money, power, or both.   Eventually, an emperor emerges from the mix, some traveling salesmen weave him a in invisible robe from gold thread that, allegedly, can only be seen by competent people, and, as he's parading down the street in this magical garment, a child points out that he's actually just a naked guy played for a fool by a couple of con artists who have since skipped town with a fortune in gold thread. I'm paraphrasing the parable, here, of course.   The problem is that a public institution can become such a hopelessly dysfunctional system that it's really better to take it down the way the Attorney General (AG) of the State of New York is trying to take down the National Rifle Association (NRA), right now. When the corruption runs as deep in a public agency as New York's AG asserts is the case with the NRA, it's better to scrap everything and start over with all new people and a new method of operating that conforms to the appropriate standards.   Sometimes the well becomes so hopelessly poisoned that it's just time to dig a new well. I think America is at that crossroad in a very broad and general sense. We are at the tipping point of a crisis of conscience.   Who do we want to be? The cronyistic incompetents who stab each other in the back over superficial slights, engage in power grabs like reality TV show contestants, and are utterly detached from and incapable of living up to the responsibilities of the job? Or, the hard-working, methodical, responsible adults who understand and are humbled by the responsibilities before us, know that our efforts to do things right will pay off in the long run but we're going to have to struggle in the short term to clean up the messes we've collectively made?   So many people who came before us fought and died so that we could have the freedoms and legal tools to save our democracy, right now. I have been fighting this fight since the 1990s, but I have also lived the reason for this fight as a twice exceptional student who was never identified for any kind of services or accommodations for my processing disorder when I was a K-12 student. During the 1970s and 1980s, when Section 504 and what is now known as the IDEA were new, they were not being implemented by the overwhelming majority of public schools in the United States at the time, and certainly not in Louisiana and Arkansas, where I grew up.   I was briefly put on Ritalin in my early elementary years. But, who wasn't, back then? I was later diagnosed with "minimal brain dysfunction" in junior high as the result of a quest for a reason why I couldn't walk in heels (there was great social pressure on females in the Deep South at the time to wear pumps with everything, including jeans). I had to do physical therapy to stretch out my hamstrings and heel cords from all the years of toe-walking I'd done (which, by the way, toe-walking can be a neurological soft sign of autism).   My vestibular sense and my proprioception were jacked. My reflexes were/are abnormal. I can distinctly remember having visual processing issues that made it such that my brain couldn't piece together what I was looking at to make a picture of the world that made any sense. Abstract shapes would slowly resolve into a singular whole that then made sense, but I can remember having to wait for that visual resolution to occur at the brain level before I could start understanding what was happening around me. My eyes could see, but there was lag time between when I looked at something unfamiliar and my brain was able to put the shapes together in a cohesive way that I could understand. My last recollection of that happening to me was around 8 or 9 years old. I can remember it happening a lot prior to then.   I also had very bad vision, so it could have been that my brain didn't get the requisite practice at piecing together the parts of what I saw into a cohesive whole until I got glasses and could actually see everything clearly. I don't have ADHD; I have ADH - Oooh, shiny! I also have mild hearing loss due to a condition that runs in my family. My dad and many of my cousins have hearing aids. I haven't gotten to that point, yet, but it's coming, eventually and that's okay. Worse things could happen; hearing aides don't ruffle my feathers in the least. I'm just not spending the money until I have to.   The point is that I had a mixed bag of processing issues as a kid that was somewhat offset by my processing speed, but not enough to make me academically successful. I know what it's like to have my potential wasted by people who don't understand my needs as a developing child. The adults in my life cared, but were at a loss as to what to do because the science just wasn't that good or well known at the time, and certainly not where I grew up. They couldn't begin to abide by the relatively new civil rights and special education regulations; the science behind it was way beyond them. They didn't know any of that.   But, that was a long time ago. We don't have those same excuses, now. Adults like me who used to be those struggling students decades ago are everywhere now in public education advocacy, rights, and reform efforts. We know first hand why it's so important for the public education system to engage in person-centered planning for every student, not just those identified as having something "wrong" with them.   We also understand why it is so important to identify those who do have exceptional needs, and meet those needs, so these students have equal access to learning as that given to their peers without exceptional needs. We understand why it is so important to address the disabilities of our twice-exceptional students while simultaneously nurturing their gifts. Last year, Kodi Lee brought the point home to the lay public, which had not had any similar prior exposure to twice-exceptional people, and certainly not one so impactful.   No matter how impaired someone may present, the public learned to never assume that such a person's presentation accurately captures all of who that person is. Kodi humbles people in the kindest, most innocent, and inadvertent way, which is what makes him so powerful. He isn't trying to ram a message down anyone's throat. His existence is the message; he lives it for the rest of us to observe and copy.   Kodi is a powerful living metaphor to not judge a book by its cover, which has been a recurring lesson born over the last few years of these talent competitions happening around the globe that he simply drove home with an exclamation point. The cultural norms surrounding public opinion of people with disabilities have tipped strongly in the direction of inclusion by the display of capability and superior abilities by contestants with a wide variety of impairments in these competitions.   Leave it to the entertainment industry to be the agent of change. If we live in a shallow culture in which life imitates art, then art should model appropriate behavior, such as inclusion. I'll say this for Simon Cowell: he made inclusion marketable and profitable by allowing talented people to be defined by their acomplishments rather than their limitations. At the end of the video clip of Kodi Lee's first audition for America's Got Talent, after winning the Golden Buzzer, the judge who had awarded it to him, Gabrielle Union, told him straight to his face, "You just changed the world!" and she wasn't lying.   This is part of the brave new world that is to come as we rebuild our public education system to meet the needs of today's students in the 21st Century, including the flexibility to rapidly adapt to changing lifestyles, national emergencies, job market demands, and advancing technologies. All of these things will continue to collectively alter how we teach and manage the teaching process according to best practices, and continue to engage in ongoing research to continually improve those processes and their supporting administrative procedures.   Which circles us back around to the issue of stay-put and the recent stay-put order from OAH, linked to above. While the order is limited to California, it is germane to a federal district court case being tried in the Central District of California in which the plaintiffs, which include parents of children with extreme special needs who are not getting the 1:1 in-person services required by their IEPs, are suing the State over school shutdowns and attempting to get a federal court injunction that allows school districts to decide whether to reopen or not.   Not surprisingly, the case originates out of Orange County, California, which has a large extreme right population relative to the rest of the State and is, not coincidentally, also a COVID-19 hotspot within the State. COVID deniers abound and are having a deleterious impact on local governing decisions as they impact public health. For a lawsuit disputing the legality of school shutdowns over a legitimate public health crisis to emerge from this climate is not exactly a shock.   Not also surprising is the rampant special education violations and related scandals that have plagued Orange County for decades. Egocentrism is confused with personal civil liberties, and the welfare of others is beyond comprehension, resulting in extremist beliefs and behaviors. It is not shocking to me that school board members who have been actively violating special education and civil rights law convinced a bunch of parents who they were actively screwing over to join them in a federal lawsuit against the State to force the schools to reopen in order for their kids to access services.   If you read the plaintiffs' complaint compared to the legal authorities I've already cited previously in this post, it's plainly evident that these people don't know what they are doing. I spoke with the State's lead attorney on the case last week and shared the arguments I've now presented in this post with her.   While the judge has yet to decide the case, and, in fact, today is the filing deadline on briefs regarding the exhaustion requirements under the IDEA and the California Department of Justice (CADOJ) is on it, the nature of the questions the judge asked the parties to brief in his last minute order inclines me to believe that once those questions have been answered, we'll have a federal district court decision on the matter that will apply to every school district in California.   The CADOJ's arguments must naturally rely in part on the arguments I've asserted herein. The federal district court judge will likely defer to the OAH stay-put order that was just issued yesterday, given that OAH has the authority to try special education cases and is, therefore, authoritative on how the law applies to the rights of special education students, special education students must exhaust their due process rights through OAH before filing in federal court (generally speaking), and it is proper for the federal court to defer to OAH's judgment, which will mirror the arguments I've been asserting this whole time and which CADOJ will also be asserting. They are aware of yesterday's stay-put order, as well, just in time to meet their filing deadline.   Things are about to get a whole lot more okay for a lot of kids on my caseload. Whether their LEAs capitulate and provide the services or we end up going to hearing with the right kinds of legal authorities backing us up, either way, the rule of law is working slowly but surely and the application of the peer-reviewed research to the delivery of special education, now that reform is unavoidable, is about to enjoy a new era of advancement in the education of all students, not just our students with the most demanding needs.   It's always darkest before the dawn. An extinction burst of escalated behaviors always comes before a maladaptive behavior finally becomes extinct. We are riding out one heck of an extinction burst on the part of incompetent people whose cronyism and transactional relationships have defined their realities and ours, and who cannot function in a more advanced, emotionally intelligent society that is moving increasingly towards meritocracy in which actual ability and earned achievements promote social status. Hucksterism has become obsolete. The Patriarchy is now rightly seen as a pack of egocentric ghoulish caricatures, not as dignified elites worthy of worship by everyone else.   These moments will pass and we will have the power to make something new and better once we get to the other side. This latest stay-put order and, hopefully, the upcoming federal court decision, are incredible first steps in the right direction.

Hey everybody! For this episode I talk to “The Riot” Kodi Lee! He tells about growing up watching wrestling and who some of his favorites were. What made him want to be a pro wrestler and how he found the school he trained at. He tells us a little about how his training went and what his first matches were like. He tells us who some of his favorite people to work with are and who have been some of the most supportive people for him in wrestling. Kodi is a guy who I think has tons of potential. The upside on him is ridiculous and I’m so happy he took the time to talk to me about his career so far. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aloneinthebasement/message

United in Song: Kodi Lee

"Would you ever think standing up and sharing your story could lead to raising 18 Million Dollars and save 15,000 children? That is the Power Of The Only in action." Today I'm going take you behind the scenes with Tony Robbins.  Last week my husband and I had the privilege of being a part of the host committee for Tony Robbins 60th Birthday celebration and benefit concert for Operation Underground Railroad - an organization that rescues children from sex trafficking. Some of you may a be a big fan of Tony's work, read his books or been to his transformational events or just know him as the self-help infomercial guy in the 80's and 90's, coach to the stars and 4 US Presidents, or the person that got Oprah Winfrey to walk on fire. He's all of these things and more. He's an entrepreneur, #1 NY Times best selling author, philanthropist and the nations #1 life and business strategist. For more than 40 years he's impacted more than 50 million people across the world… helping others create success and fulfillment. Last weekend we celebrated his life and legacy at the Microsoft Theatre in the heart of LA Live. While I'm going to share behind the scenes of this red carpet-celebrity filled celebration and benefit concert, more importantly I'm going to share the story of how the ripple effect of one single act can really create positive change. I'll share the true secret to living a full life, why sharing your story matters, how to open up to receiving, how to build community and influence, and I'll share what one celebrity host did that instantly created a deeper connection with the audience and how you can apply it to your communication. I'll also share the lessons and stories from that evening  that can help you in your business and life. The event was a benefit for Operation Underground Railroad led by former Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard. Together with his team of former CIA, FBI and law enforcement they rescue victims, help capture and prosecute the offenders, they also give local law enforcement the tools and strategies to dismantle the human trafficking networks. They also focus on the aftercare to reintegrate or rehabilitate the children. It's a dark issue that many don't want to see, but they are taking it head on and making a difference. There is more slavery today than anytime in human history and many of those trafficked are children-globally and here in the US. Since 2013 they've rescued more than 10,000 victims but now they can continue to save more lives. "In one night more than $18 Million was raised! That's saving the lives of 15,000 children Wow. I was in awe." - Angela Chee This all started just a few years ago when one woman stood up at a Tony Robbins' Business Mastery event and shared her story. Tony believes life is not just about business, it's about contribution and the secret to living is giving. They shared stories about causes they were passionate about, she said she wanted to help rescue girls and talked about the work of Operation Underground Railroad. This led to Tony learning about the organization and donating on the spot and it created a ripple effect where others started to donate and led to $500,000 being raised that day. Since then Tony has been passionate about the organizations' work and vowed to save more lives. "On his 60th birthday - his friends, family and hundreds of those he impacted filled the Microsoft Theatre to celebrate and fufill this mission." - Angela Chee From the evening's host Dr. Oz and Maria Menunous and a dance performance from Derek Hough (Huff) accompanied by Lindsey Sterling on Violin, performances by Melissa Etheridge, Leona Lewis, Andy Grammer, Pitbull and Actor Gerard Butler doing his best Tony impersonation with his signature baseball cap, black shirt and shorts. It was a beautiful moving evening. You can find videos of the performances and stories on Instagram under highlights-events. 18 million dollars means 15,000 lives saved. If you would like to find out more go to www.ourrescue.org. There's also a major Hollywood film about Operation Underground Railroad and the life of Tim Ballard coming soon starring Jim Caveziel called Freedom. I saw the trailer, it's really powerful! The reason I'm sharing this story is because I want you to know if you don't think you make a difference, you do. "What you believe in matters, what you share matters and what you stand up for matters." - Angela Chee Remember this: One woman sharing her passion at an event led to Tony's support and bringing more awareness, and the power of his community and influence because of his impact through the years will now save more lives and bring even more awareness. That is The Power Of The Only and Power, Presence and Representation in action.  You have no idea of the ripple effect of one single act. When you step up it can change everything. What are some of the other lessons from that evening? Being at LA Live brought back memories….I can't believe I covered the ground breaking ceremony back in 2005 when I was an LA reporter and this whole complex was just an idea. I remember sitting in the news van in front of the Staples Center looking at graphic of the development plans - they wanted it look like Tokyo…. with all the video screens…. A reminder that all things start with a vision. I was also inspired by so many moments that evening about the power of stories. The ones you tell others and the ones you tell yourself and their impact on your life and your success. From seeing blind and autistic singer Kodi Lee - winner of America's got talent play the piano and sing with such beauty and grace. To Melissa Etheridge sharing her story of how Tony impacted her life…. and what she learned. She said when you're reaching for your dreams you always think once you reach your goal then you will be fulfilled. You spend your life chasing this thing….whatever it is for you…… but then wonder why it's not enough - because fufillment doesn't always come with success or having it all. It comes from within you and stories you tell yourself. To listening to leaders like Peter Guber - Chairman of Mandalay Entertainment and owner of several sports teams from Golden State Warriors to LA Dodgers, and Paul Tudor Jones hedge fund manager and philanthropist talk about the power of mindset, and their transformations through the years. And Marc Benioff founder of sales force talking about giving and tackling the issue of homelessness in San Francisco. Singer Andy Grammer shared his joy and gratitude remembering his journey from starting as a street performer in Santa Monica to now. There's also lessons in receiving. Tony who is usually on stage for hours at a time leading the transformation was just sitting in the audience and listening. There was also another example of receiving……. His wife Sage who organized the event shared stories from last year when Tony had some health scares but continued to serve at his events and during that difficult time he also learned how to receive from his team and his audience. For those of you who are leaders and are usually giving and sharing it isn't always easy to stop and receive, but that can be powerful as well. And while The Power Of The Only is about inspiration and lessons from leaders it's also about how you can use your voice, power and presence to help you be a better communicator and leader. I also wanted to share a specific behind the scenes moment that will give you an inside look at what it was like hosting a show and what you can learn from Maria Menunos that may help your speaking and how you connect with an audience.  Tune into the podcast to learn how she turned her life's biggest challenge to a gift and what you can learn from her sharing her story. The power of sharing your story not only creates connection and helps you command your audience, but you never know who you may impact or what ripple effect you may create like it did for Operation Underground Railroad.

I am a sucker for talent shows.  The more dramatic the story, the more drawn in I am.  It is my “guilty pleasure” if you will.  But behind the production and the obvious emotional manipulation, are real people.  And these real people are willing to put themselves out there, in front of the world, to be judged on their talent, or their lack of it.  There is a lot to learn from their example.   “My heart breaks wide open when I see military return home videos, talent show videos, and random kindness videos – Mark J.

In this episode Sal will discuss how he has supported Kodi on his path to AGT.

Megan is a 27 yr old part time student at UC Clermont where she is just about to earn her Associate's Degree in Biological Sciences. She has two cats that live at her mom and grandmothers house (BW and Sunshine). Megan likes to write music, sing, dance, and watch movies with her husband.

Episode recorded at the Riffs Music School Studio with Guitar extraordinaire Jason Alan Moore. Jason is an American guitarist, songwriter, producer. Born in Southern California, raised in Thousand Oaks California. Took guitar lessons from Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio) and the world renowned, Ted Greene also known as ‘the chord chemist’ who is known for his 3 books Chord Chemistry 1-3. Ted thought Clapton, Van Halen, and many other world famous guitarists. Jason started writing songs and performing in bands at age 12, and played clubs like The Troubadour, The Whisky, and The Roxy in Hollywood while in the 10th grade. He formed a band called Seven’s Door that was signed to Capitol Records in 1998. Shortly thereafter he received a phone call from Rivers Cuomo from Weezer. Saying he was helping his buddy Kevin Ridel form a band and wanted to know if he was interested. After joining AM Radio, which was managed by Rivers, they were signed to Elektra Records and released ‘Radioactive’, which gained them national and international radio AirPlay, and their songs were placed in many feature films, television shows and video games. Madden 04 had Taken For A Ride by AM Radio, which plays every time you’re in the red zone about to score a touchdown. Some of the shows were The OC, Smallville, Wonderfalls, and the film The Girl Next Door. AM Radio toured extensively all over the US, Canada, and Japan, both as an opening act on arena tours as well as medium sized theaters and headlining club tours. Some of the bands they opened for were Weezer for three tours, Everclear, Third Eye Blind, The Vines, Rooney, Ben Kweller, Dashboard Confessional, Sparta, and many others. Later while AM Radio was on hiatus, Jason joined the alt-country rock band, Shurman on Vanguard Records, they recorded and released Jubilee and toured the US opening for Hootie and the Blowfish, Darius Rucker, Jim Lauderdale, Rodger Clyne and the peacemakers, and the then infamous and now famous Bob Schneider, who is one of America’s national treasures when it comes to songwriting and performing. They made a video for the song ‘Drowning’ which was directed by award winning Nathan Karma Cox and was seen on VH1 country, Music Choice, and all the other major video channels. Now Jason can be seen playing guitar with Midnight Satellites and Kodi Lee around Southern California and select tour dates around the US.

The guys open the show discussing a recent America’s Got Talent star (Cody Lee) who is extremely autistic but has amazing musical talents. This expands the discussion into teaching children the importance of “not judging a book by its cover.” The guys relate this story to triumphing through adversity and concurring the “edge of chaos.” The show takes a twist when Greg brings up the latest in conspiracy politics. They discuss the peculiar video Tweeted of AG Barr in a military plane and then the guys roll into conspiracies of JFK Jr. coming back on July 4th. Online conspiracies also raise the concern for Trump’s safety as the conspiracy community calls out correlations between Trump and JFK.Kodi Lee America’s Got Talent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDPdRYF7hTQAG Barr on Military Plane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNDSdJkJv-A
