16th note hi-hat groove w/TD-3 + BFD2: Possible?
Hi All:
[Apologies if this has been discussed before; I searched the forums and came up empty, but maybe I used the wrong search terms?]
Anyway, I'm a beginner drummer and beginner v-drum owner with a noobish and simple question, namely:
Is it possible ot play a one handed sixteenth note hi hat groove with dynamics (louder beats, quieter offbeats) on a stock Roland TD-3 kit with stock hi-hat and pedal, triggering BFD2 on my computer?
This video shows the type of thing I'm talking about, starting at 00:50:
I know there are actually a lot of gear variables hidden in my deceptively simple description, but here's a little more about what I mean.
Leaving the rest of the kit out of the equation, when I stomp down on the hi-hat pedal and keep the pressure on (so the hat is 100% closed) and then attempt to get a one-handed groove going, there's just not much variation in velocity between my loud hits and my quiet (offbeat) hits. Instead of "DAH-dah-DAH-dah-DAH-dah-DAH-dah", I get "DAH-DAH-DAH-DAH-DAH-DAH-DAH-DAH-", if you catch my drift.
Anyway, I can't get the groove I want out of this setup, and I'm essentially wondering whether it's my equipment, or if it's just me. Anyone have any insight? Thanks!

iPad 3 Rumors Abound
If there's a lesson to be learned from the all the hype surrounding the release of the iPad 3, it's that it's probably not a good idea to pay much attention to hype. Take, for example, the post from iLounge that the iPad 3 will be a millimeter thicker to accommodate improved cameras and other hardware. According to the Taiwan-based DigiTimes, however, inclusion of IGZO panels will in fact make the iPad 3 thinner.
In order to remain competitive in markets that cater to users of the Amazon Kindle and the Nook, Apple will release an 'iPad Mini'. But of course, "most experts have eliminated the possibility" of an iPad Mini, because such a device "cannot express fully the software the device contains."
And incidentally, when will the iPad 3 hit the shelves? Well, Apple is probably going to release it on February 24th, to commemorate Apple founder Steve Jobs's birthday. Except that no, it'll probably be in March. Or late summer. Apple probably doesn't want to wait much longer than that, of course, seeing as how the iPad 4 is scheduled to be released six months later, in October 2012.
To recap: The iPad 3 will either be thicker or thinner, there will either be an iPad Mini or there will not, and it will be released either in February, March, or July.
It's enough to make you want to "defenestrate yourself."
Apple's culture of secrecy surrounding its own products is legendary, but given the wild turns the rumor mill has taken over the last few weeks, it's becoming clear that the secrecy is itself part and parcel of a business model that uses those rumors to supplement an already robust marketing campaign (we know, that's not exactly a news flash …). As we approach the actual release date, and if the hype begins to wane, perhaps we can bet on some mid-level Apple employee leaving a demo iPad 3 in a San Francisco bar.

Three Infants Dead One Brain Damaged
April 23, 2012- Two midwives have agreed to a $5 million settlement with a couple who sued them for medical malpractice after their baby suffered permanent brain damage at the Baby Place in Meridian, Idaho. Midwives Coleen Goodwin and her daughter, Jerusha Goodwin, reached the agreement to avoid a jury trial, said Eric Rossman, attorney for Adam and Victoria Nielson. The trial had been set to begin on Monday in Boise. Rossman said it's likely that the Goodwins will seek bankruptcy protection. Which of course means the Nielson may never see a dime to help with the life long costs of caring for their child.
The midwife licenses of these two midwives were finally suspended by the Idaho Board of Midwifery on March 23, 2012 leaving the Nielson's child with permanent brain damage and 3 infants dead, one in June 2010, October 2010 and August 2011.
These horrific outcomes were preventable. Two out of three of these midwife involved deaths will be counted as hospital deaths as the infants ultimately died in hospital.

BEWARE! Suspended midwives' birthing center gets new name

"The two women involved in the case, Coleen and Jerusha Goodwin, are no longer licensed to be midwives and are banned from working in Idaho.
The Goodwins, who worked at the Baby Place in Meridian, acted in "serious, unprofessional" ways and broke the rules of their profession, the Board of Midwifery said. It suspended the Goodwins in the spring of 2012, after claims that the women acted wrongly while overseeing births."

One Baby Dies, One has Cerebral Palsy
ASTORIA, Ore. – On August 4, 2009, Mindy and Phillip Bizzell were in the middle of a nightmare…… baby Henry was feet first, something the Bizzells say their midwife never checked for at any point. So in the middle of labor, Henry got stuck….
When they finally got to the hospital, it took a doctor three tries to extract Henry with forceps. After CPR, Henry's little heart starting beating again, but only for 3.5 more days.

"They didn't know if he'll be able to walk, they don't know if he'll be able to talk, they don't know if he'll be able to sit up, he can't do that now still."Andrews said she blames her midwives for ignoring warning signs during pregnancy and labor…The official diagnosis came a year later: cerebral palsy…"This is a lifetime of hardship for our son," said Andrews.

Saturday, February 24, 2007
… "A pediatrics resident wrote that at his NICU at any given time there are 2 or 3 babies with brain damage because of inadequate resuscitation at a home birth and asked the obvious question: How can you be responsible for the birth of a baby and not know how to resuscitate the child should something go wrong."
"…He had posted a moving description of a baby in his care, but has removed the post out of concern that it may be seen by the family and increase their grief. I am removing the quote also, but if you have already read it, you know that it provides a frightening glimpse at how easily things can spin out of control at a homebirth, and how the baby can end up with permanent brain damage.…."

The baby was born blue & unresponsive, was resuscitated, but showing signs of possible brain damage."
"…All of this leaves me with questions for the folks at ICAN who encourage women to take these life threatening risks:
Will you use Lori as a role model for VBA3C? Or will you wash your hands of her and pretend this never happened?

Leaked Tory document exposes façade of change [1]
Document encourages officials to "trick" activists into selecting more gay and ethnic-minority candi
Document encourages officials to "trick" activists into selecting more gay and ethnic-minority candi
by George Eaton [2] Published
I'm amazed that the leaked Conservative document advising local officials on how to "trick" grass-roots activists into selecting more female, gay and ethnic-minority candidates hasn't received more attention. So far the Daily Mail [3] is the only national newspaper to pick up the story.
The document, Action Plan for Candidate Selection in Safe Seats, encourages party officials to use "stealth" and to keep "quiet" over plans to diversify candidate selection. "Like a conjuror, we'll get more applause if the audience cannot see exactly how the trick is performed," it says.
It adds:
Most Tories loathe political correctness and positive discrimination. If one tries to be "in your face" about the fact that positive discrimination is taking place activists are much more likely to rebel; a version of "don't ask, don't tell" is called for.
A point which rather undermines the recent claim by Michael Gove, the author of the document, that opposition to David Cameron's modernising agenda is limited to "one or two backwoodsmen".
Unlike Tony Blair, who relished open confrontation with his own party, Cameron prefers to avoid direct challenges to the Tory grass roots. But as the Joanne Cash affair most recently demonstrated, he is only storing up problems for the future.

As of Friday, January 11, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
SNELLVILLE -- A spirited and contentious specially called meeting of the Snellville City Council on Wednesday ended predictably for those who have followed the group in recent months. Division among the mayor and Council members is very much alive.
In a series of events that began with a 4:30 p.m. press conference called by Mayor Kelly Kautz, and ended about four hours later at the close of the meeting, the day could be summarized in one of Kautz' statements during the meeting.
"Can we all agree to disagree?"
With Councilman Mike Sabbagh out of town on business, a series of motions and resolutions to establish confidence in attorney Tony Powell were decided by a 4-1 vote. Mayor Pro Tem Tom Witts and Council members Bobby Howard, Diane Krause and Dave Emanuel voted in favor of Powell as city attorney, and responsible for duties related to the job description, while Mayor Kelly Kautz voted against each action.
Last month, Kautz dismissed Powell as city attorney in part because of what she said were monthly legal fees that were over budget last fall. Kautz also said Powell has pushed for lawsuits instead of giving opinions on city matters. This is the fourth time since Kautz was elected in 2010 that she and a majority of the council have disagreed on a city attorney choice, and the second time Powell has lost his job.
But if Powell lost his job at all was a bone of contention throughout the day.
Also on Wednesday, Kautz asked a Superior Court Judge for an injunction against the Council to take votes at the meeting. But Kautz withdrew her request for a declaratory judgment against the majority of council about the meeting because she said Judge Timothy Hamil wasn't inclined to stop a public meeting with elected officials.
Kautz said Hamil instructed the parties to schedule a hearing date for the issue to be settled, which should be within the next 20 days.
Before the meeting began, Powell and Kautz had a disagreement about Powell sitting alongisde the Council members. After a discussion among the Council, Powell eventually sat in the first row of the audience.
Seated next to him were Karen Woodward and Nola Jackson of the law firm Cruser and Mitchell, who Kautz has appointed as interim city attorneys.
Woodward said her firm was hired to assist with a lawsuit involving resident Marilyn Swinney, who alleged that her civil rights were violated by Kautz in July. Witts confirmed that the lawsuit was settled for $15,000.
At the outset of the meeting, Kautz, Witts and Powell couldn't agree if proper notice of the meeting was established, especially about whether Sabbagh was properly notified. Witts said he left Sabbagh seven voicemails.
As Kautz called the meeting to order "under protest," she motioned to Woodward, who said, "I'm not sure what you want to call my status," before it was eventually clarified as interim city attorney.
The debate reached such a level that Kautz granted two recesses, including one where Kautz said, "we will reconvene at a later date." The meeting then resumed in about five minutes.
Witts and Howard were labeled "out of order" more than once during the meeting, and Howard replied after one exchange, "I have been there all night, I've got no problem with that," he said, which drew applause from the crowd.
The Council meets on Monday for a regularly scheduled meeting.

One just has to ask this,
Are the interim attorneys paid fees by the hour to attend these spectacles?
Strange, but it does offer homage of sorts to the area's British roots. The brouhaha began over legal fees being over budget, so of course the way to cut those expenses going forward is by approaching the courts for summary judgments and additional hearing dates. A page taken straight out of Gwinnett County BOC playbook….
Man, this stuff needs to be broadcast on Spike or WWE …
Snellville we're missing a REAL revenue stream opportunity here. You CHARGE a fee to attend, not PAY lawyers to attend. Personal seat licenses seem strangely appropriate; just call them the "Blank" Pass.

The Mayor asked for peace. She can't see through all the obstabcles that she creates that she is the only one that is creating the upset. It truly is a sight to watch her in action. She talks and talks and talks, not allowing questions or people to finish sentences, overruling anything that is contrary to her hallowed opinion. And then she can sit there with a straight face and say she is being bullied and she just wants everyone to work together. Honestly, I believe that some medication is in order.

Living in unincorporated GC but with a Snellville mailing address, I find this whole situation of Snellville politics to be an unbelievable embarrassment. Is there a way to change your address when you live so close to other towns? I could easily go to L'ville PO. Maybe if our entire neighborhood worked together? I hate it when someone says, "You live in Snellville, right?"
rocknroll 2 years, 6 months ago
So this is the same mayor who cut off a person trying to speak at a meeting. That wound up getting on all the Atlanta tv stations when it happened and last week when the city announced a $15,000 cost for settling a free speech lawsuit. Lord only knows how much she has cost the city by giving it a bad name. Now she's back yelling and screaming and giving the city a bad name again. Probably not gonna change until she gets kicked out. Look at the video. She acts like a spoiled little child who isn't getting her own way. This woman has serious psychological problems.
NewsReader 2 years, 6 months ago
I was just wondering...can you guys stream this for all of us. I could go get some popcorn, we could start a Snellville Drama Club, and watch hysterically as the drama unfolds during each and every episode. This whole power struggle is great entertainment.

Maybe the AG should be investigating this Mayor for corruption.

I'd love to talk to you about this situation of yours; I think it's not unusual. Can you call or drop me a line? Click on my name at the end of the article and it'll have my email address. -Nick
Truth Be Told, interesting points, would like to talk further. Please click on the byline to send an e-mail. -Nick
Woodduck99-- this was a quick post; longer story in the print edition tomorrow. If you click on the link below the post-- to "oregon health reform" -- you can backtrack on the detailed ongoing coverage we've had. Bill Graves had a great piece recently about saving money by keeping people out of the hospital. For you posters wanting to read about skepticism over the savings potential, you'll find articles about that, too. -Nick
The link Joe provided was an initial, online-only post. For what it's worth, the longer print article quoted two representatives of SEIU:
If you, Brian or anyone else has more detailed information, further thoughts or personal knowledge regarding the layoffs, please e-mail me.
-Nick Budnick
Eastcomom, regarding your three comments, no one in the article is suggesting that psychiatry be "scrapped," let alone a "mandate" to that effect. I think you may be confusing the push for more selective prescribing with the "anti-psychiatry" movement of years past. Cascadia is setting up a peer support system to augment its regular care, not replace it.
We named four of the seven because three were on the record with us, and the fourth has a pending whistleblower retaliation claim before the city. In it, he says his identity as a whistleblower has for years been widely known.

The agricultural portion of the LaRue County Fair is July 29 through Aug. 1, and it continues to feature livestock shows.
Livestock entries are generally open to the world, but must meet several requirements including Exhibition Health Requirements with a health certificate. Some livestock show classes require an entry fee and some do not.
The annual Wheeler/Gore Reunion was held Sunday, July 12, 2015 at Hodgenville Sportsman's Club and enjoyed by all. The reunion was well attended by about 70 friends and relatives.
On particularly stressful days I find myself needing to unwind and release anxieties that tend to build up. I walk through the yard and most often find myself in the garden. Shoes off, bare feet planted in the dirt, tools in my hand; my little way of getting a handle on life (no pun intended).
Former Hodgenville City Police Chief Steve Johnson was found NOT GUILTY of official misconduct relating to the dashcam footage released following the March 2014 DUI arrest of LaRue County Schools superintendent Sam Sanders. - Read more about the jury's verdict in this week's LaRue County Herald News.
Stockpiling fescue can be defined as growing pasture for later use. This typically means applying nitrogen to tall fescue pastures in August, letting them grow through the fall, and then grazing during the late fall and early winter.
The best pastures to target are those with the thickest stands of fescue. Fescue responds extremely well to nitrogen applications in late summer and has an amazing ability to retain its nutrient value through the winter. Phosphate and potash should be applied as needed.
The LaRue County Sheriff's Department arrested a Nelson County man for cultivating marijuana after a two month investigation.

Max and Eli Sussman's S'mores with Maple-Bourbon Marshmallows
Throw some bourbon and maple syrup into homemade marshmallows as Max and Eli Sussman suggest in This is a Cookbook, and you've got an excellent adult-style treat. The brothers take their marshmallows one step further by incorporating them into a year-round take on s'mores (with ganache instead of Hershey's). These are no girl-scout dessert--they're boozy, sweet, and the sheer size of the marshmallows will gleefully turn even the most resolute health nut on the path to diabetes--but they're totally worth it.

Fall, 2012: The Restoration Club was formed by two GES students seeking to foster a deeper relationship between society and nature through actions that work to heal the land, plants, waters and our souls.
October, 2012: The club promoted trail work in support of co-founder Kyle Rodman's honor's thesis. Visual trail delineations, rock cairns and rock steps were installed. These actions will help keep visitors on a single trail, prevading widespread degredation.
January, 2013: The club tabled next to the Green Action Fund and began fostering ways to have a bigger impact on campus. Seen here: Co-founder Kyle Rodman and former GAF Chair and Vice Chair, Nathanael Mooberry and Drew Johnson.
Sometime in between then: The club leaders met with Vice Chancellor Susan Szpyrka, faculty, rec center and risk management to discuss the incorporation of the bluffs trail system into the campus Master Plan.
A student research project for a Conservation and Public Lands course investigated the decommissioned road going up the bluffs from Alpine Village and found serious erosional and drainage issues. To begin addressing this issue, the students met again with the Vice Chancellors to discuss the trail future and how the Restoration Club could help.
Integrating their knowledge from working with a local land restoration organization with their classroom and field observations, the students devised a plan to begin restoration on the bluffs. They then arranged meetings with Faculty and Facilities to discuss the potential project techniques and sites.
Spring, 2012: The club requested funds from the Green Action Fund for materials to help restore vegetation to denuded areas on the bluffs. This vegetation would prevent soil loss and erosion, protecting the Bluffs ecosystem and saving Outdoor Services from removing sediment loads in our streets and parking areas. This project was an experiment of multiple methods to test for effectiveness for future projects in our local region.
Materials were purchased and a sign was made! A section up the trail from the Campus Services building was identified for treatment.
A section of the bluffs was chosen for 3 different treatment: soil amendments and grass seed planting, pine transplants and erosion control socks.
(left) Soil was acquired from C&C stone and delivered here by the project proposers. (middle) Volunteers then carried the dirt up the trail to it's resting place. (right) Soil ammendments, including compost and topsoil, was systematically made to determine the effectiveness of different treatments.
(left) Native Blue Gramma and Buffalo Grass seed was spread over amended and unamended soils. This area was then covered with erosion control matting made of aspen bark. (middle) Biodegradable stakes were hammered into the matting o help keep it in place. (Right) Dirt covered the edges of the matting to prevent deer from picking it up to get the seed and branches were spread over the matting to create microclimates forthe grasses to grow.
Step one complete!
5 Ponderosa transplants, graciously acquired by UCCS Outdoor Services, were planted. A birm was shaped on the downhill slope from the transplant and reinforced with rock.
Lastly, three erosion control socks, made of compost sourced locally, were installed in a drainage. These socks are intended to slow the flow of water, thereby preventing further erosion.
The two supervisors for the day approved!
Multiple visits to the site has occured in the time since restoration. For a full preliminary report on the effectiveness of the projct.

Best Place to Male-Bond St. Louis 2003 - Blues games
The Blues are deadlocked 1-1 with the Blackhawks in the second period, and the action is vicious, but the three beers in your bladder are leading you away from the game, to a men's room on the Savvis Center concourse. You enter the bathroom to find eight long lines of dudes, one for each urinal. You mutter a curse and wait your turn. Each guy is taking forever to expel his own respective three Buds, and you're afraid you're going to miss a goal or a good fight, trapped as you are in here. Then some guy yells out "Go Blues!" and the entire restroom erupts in response: "GO BLUES!" Another guy gets the idea and mimics the trumpet call from W.C. Handy's immortal "St. Louis Blues." Soon the men's room is a riot of drunken singing and you realize, in your fuzzy, hockey- and beer-induced glee, that you've made a connection with pissing strangers. Go Blues!

(AP) WASHINGTON - A protest group planning to stage a demonstration about unemployment at President Barack Obama's inauguration says it's being forced to scale down plans because it won't have much space on Washington's Freedom Plaza.
The ANSWER Coalition said Friday that the Presidential Inaugural Committee is taking over the plaza where protests have been held. Protesters will have a 10-yard-wide strip of sidewalk below the plaza.
ANSWER had expected to have bleachers with thousands of demonstrators. National Coordinator Brian Becker says there's a long history of reserving Freedom Plaza as a place for dissent.
In 2009, the group shared the space with inauguration organizers.
A National Park Service spokeswoman says the protest group applied for the space first but that the inaugural committee has preference under regulations that took effect in 2008.

Meet Nicole
What do celebrity photographer Matthew Jordan Smith, well-known stylist Susie Theodorou and the cover of Saveur magazine have in common? Each have featured the work of local gal Nicole Hill.
Nicole is a freelance and commercial photographer based in Utah County. There's no question that this girl knows what she's doing when it comes to the camera lens. And her sharp sense of style and warm personal charisma have a way of making themselves present in the images she captures—whether of a wedding or watercress.
A budding talent, Nicole has already taken noteworthy career strides and snapped handfuls of great images. But what we love about this Utah girl is her go-getter attitude and her knack for choosing fun and eclectic vehicles for realizing her dreams: ne'er afraid to make a capricious pit-stop or follow leads from Mr. Opportunity.
Her romance with the camera started when Nicole's (smart) parents gave her a Canon Rebel G for her birthday in 7th grade. By the time her first year of high school rolled around, she ended up co-teaching her school's photography class and shooting her first weddings.
After graduating a year early from high school, Nicole headed to the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California. When she realized she was more interested in capturing food than people, she traded the sunshine for the city and headed to culinary school in New York. "I thought that learning more about food couldn't hurt," she says.
While in the Big Apple, she interned with beauty and celebrity photographer Matthew Jordan Smith, and assisted food stylist Susie Theodorou for projects in Real Simple, House & Garden, and Gourmet. Last year's June issue had a steak she grilled on the cover. We like a girl who's good on the barbi.
After returning to Brooks to receive her bachelor's degree, Nicole traded coasts again and moved to Boston to intern with TV's "America's Test Kitchen" and Cook's Illustrated, where she worked directly with such heavy hitters as celebrity chef Julia Collin Davison. Then it was back to New York for a quick internship with Saveur magazine, where she styled a cover shot, and assisted with food styling for Real Simple and Quick & Simple.
Nicole planned a trip home to Utah, just for the summer, but ended up getting happily hung-up on a position as photo editor and photographer with a local stock photography company called Rubberball Productions, where she's been for a year. We daresay they're happy to have her. And so are we.
Check out Nicole's work at:
- Nicole Hill Photo
- Getty Images
- Rubberball Productions (perform an "advanced search," then "search by photographer")
Nicole has a fun-and-stylish blog playfully titled A Little Sussy, a great daily read. A new, all-cooking blog called Nicole Cooks is currently in the works. (We know the food featured there is gonna look fabulous.) In her spare time, Nicole also designs websites. But here's a chance to get a little more info than the blog might provide:
Name: Nicole Hill
Occupation: Photo Editor/Photographer
When I grow up, I want to be: A teacher, artist and mother
The best thing about growing up in Utah was: Four seasons! I loved my spring birthday, summers skiing at Lake Powell, horsing around in the fall and winters skiing in Deer Valley.
If/when I have 24 hours in Utah, I always:
1. Have "Sundee" dinner on the back porch with family and friends.
2. Eat at Cafe Rio
3. Eat homemade frozen yogurt
4. Talk (or cry) to my sisters and parents on their bed.
5. Play my piano
Utah has the best: Parking lots! They're huge!
Now I live in: Orem; just bought a home!
Five hearts:
- Homemade froyo
- Fresh herbs
- Eating on the back deck
- Pilates
- Rook
Five hates:
- Mortgage payments
- Mean people
- Running
- Early mornings
- Shopping on an empty stomach
I can't live without my: Computer
The last party I went to was: Hmm … I can't even remember one. How sad. I'm not cool.
Favorite product on your blog: I'm still obsessed with the Me & Ro diamond ring I found years ago that was just featured in Martha Stewart Weddings.
Favorite product on earth: Dead Sea Salt eye cream

The only threat is that the Spartans might slip on all that blue N yeller blood on the field.

Never mind UM's season last year was a mirage base on a cake sked and 8 (count 'em: 8!!) home games.

James, it's "sneak peek" -- not "peak." -- ed.
The AAA spokesperson sounds like a typical do-gooder; can't wait to tell other people how to live their lives. The helmet law was repealed; the seat belt law should be next. People should be ENCOURAGED to act safely, not FORCED to do so against their will.
What we really need, Guv, is fiscal responsibility and a flat tax or better yet, a national consumption tax w/o any income tax; abolish the IRS and the tax code and put all those CPAs and tax attorneys, who contribute NOTHING to GDP, out of business and into productive lines of work. Worrying about collecting tax from out of staters is fiddling while Rome burns. Forest, meet trees.
You do realize, right, that no one watches any cable "news" programs? Go out on the street and find 100 people. Exactly ONE of them, statistically speaking, will have watched O'Reilly or Hannity the night before ONE out of 100. Like I said, virtually no one is watching that dreck.
watched the interview last night. Bernero was terrific (although admittedly, Romney is goofy and easy prey), and I found myself really wishing he'd won the Governorship. He's full of passion and fire and calls a spade a spade ... how refreshing for a Democrat, who usually tend to being a might wimpy.
Can you provide some specific examples to support your blathering? No? Not one? Didn't think so. Imagination isn't reality, son.
What are you railing about? Examples? NO? Didn't think so.
Is this garbage still on? When can we get rid of this swill, Jersey Shore, Kardashians, the Bachelor, Survivor and all the other horrible shows that appeal to morons?
Yep, beseeching a magical being to "hear" your thoughts out of the other 6 billion humans on the planet, then take time out of his busy day to attend to your petty needs, is obviously well worth the effort.
Naturally, the Republicans are at the heart of this tomfoolery; what's next, Magic Underwear Month? Linus and the Great Pumpkin Day? Hey, guys, how's about just doing your job and save your praying to Zeus or some other fictional being for your home, where you won't embarrass yourselves and our State?
Sumr, I hope you're kidding, but I suspect you are not. Do you want to live in a police state like the Soviet Union, where "men can't walk, or freely talk, and sons turn their fathers in"? -- Johnny Cash/The Wanderer
The First Amendment protects free speech for a reason; it's the most important civil liberty we have (go read the Federalist Papers for a better understanding); the "hate crime" laws are an affront to our Constitution and need to be snuffed out.
Since only a complete moron believes in curses -- and I mean a COMPLETE moron -- way to go, Calvin! Nice to see a Lion get some love.
He should've pled insanity. Slam dunk that he'd have walked.
All cogent posts for a change. Where are the usual nutso righty rants? Come on, guys, we know you're lurking out there with your inflammatory nonsense. Don't disappoint those of us who love reading your gibberish and getting our daily dose of belly laughs!
Caption this photo: "The 'winner' I just picked is more electable than Romney."

Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities, Other Events, Financial Statements and Exhibi
Stock Purchase Agreement - Delphiis, Inc.
On July 7, 2014, Auxilio, Inc. ("Auxilio") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Delphiis, Inc., a California corporation ("Delphiis"), certain stockholders of Delphiis (the "Stockholders"), and Mike Gentile, as seller representative ("Gentile"). By agreement of the parties, the effective date of the Agreement was July 1, 2014.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Auxilio acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the "Shares") of Delphiis from the Stockholders. The purchase price paid for the Shares consisted of three components: the Securities Consideration, the Cash Consideration, and the Debt Assumption.
- The Securities Consideration consisted of 930,406 shares of Auxilio common stock (the "Auxilio Stock"), which was the number of shares having an aggregate value of $1,250,000, with the price per share equal to the average of the closing price of Auxilio common stock on the OTC Markets for the 20 most recent trading days prior to the closing date, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares.
- The Cash Consideration was equal to $1,000,000 minus any Transaction Payments (defined as certain expenses of the Stockholders and certain expenses of Delphiis) to the extent such Transaction Payments in the aggregate exceeded $12,000.
- The Debt Assumption was equal to $463,722.96 which is currently owed by Delphiis to Gentile and two other parties. By way of background, of such amount, $363,722.96 is represented by certain amended and restated promissory notes (the "Notes") dated of even date with the Agreement, which bear interest at the rate of 4% per annum, and pursuant to which Delphiis was to make quarterly interest-only payments on the total principal amount outstanding at the end of each calendar quarter. The Notes have a maturity date which is 24 months from the date of the Agreement and contain no prepayment penalty. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, Delphiis will pay (i) fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding amount due under such Notes at such time as Delphiis achieves $1,500,000 of bookings measured from the date of the Agreement, and (ii) the remaining fifty percent (50%) will be paid at such time as Delphiis achieves $4,000,000 of bookings measured from the date of the Agreement, all as set forth in the Notes. Delphiis also agreed to pay the remaining $100,000 to Gentile and the other noteholders upon Delphiis's collection of $100,000 from accounts receivable outstanding as of June 30, 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement, Auxilio, as the sole owner of Delphiis, agreed to assume the obligations of Delphiis and to make the payments pursuant to the terms of the Notes.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Delphiis and the Stockholders agreed to deliver to Auxilio certificates representing the Shares; the corporate record books of Delphiis; the Escrow Agreement (described below); the Gentile Employment Agreement (described below). Auxilio agreed to deliver the Cash Consideration; the Securities Consideration; the signed Escrow Agreement; the signed Gentile Employment Agreement.
Escrow Agreement
In connection with the Agreement, Auxilio, the Stockholders, and Colonial Stock Transfer (the "Escrow Agent") entered into an Escrow Agreement, pursuant to which Auxilio deposited $100,000 of the Cash Consideration into an escrow to be held by the Escrow Agent to cover any indemnification claims made pursuant to the Agreement. If no indemnification claims have been made prior to July 7, 2015, the Escrow Agent will release the escrowed funds to the Stockholders.
Gentile Employment Agreement
In connection with the Agreement, Auxilio and Gentile entered into an employment agreement (the "Gentile Employment Agreement"), pursuant to which Gentile was employed to serve as Executive Vice President of Innovation and Security of Auxilio. The initial term of the Gentile Employment Agreement is for three years (unless sooner terminated), and automatically renews for subsequent twelve-month periods unless either party determines to not renew. Gentile's base annual salary will be $200,000, and Gentile will be eligible to receive incentive compensation. Gentile will also receive 400,000 shares of Auxilio stock, vesting as follows: 100,000 shares will vest 2 years from the date of the Gentile Employment Agreement; 100,000 shares will vest 3 years from the date of the Gentile Employment Agreement; 100,000 shares will vest 4 years from the date of the Gentile Employment Agreement; and 100,000 shares will vest 5 years from the date of the Gentile Employment Agreement.
The foregoing summaries of the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and the Gentile Employment Agreement do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is included as an exhibit hereto, as well as the Escrow Agreement and the Gentile Employment Agreement, which are included as exhibits to the Stock Purchase Agreement.
Issuance of Auxilio Common Stock as Securities Consideration
The Auxilio Stock issued as the Securities Consideration in the Agreement was issued in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, ("Securities Act"), and/or Regulation D, as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, based upon the following: (a) there was no public offering or general solicitation with respect to the offering of such shares, (b) each Stockholder was provided with certain disclosure materials and all other information requested with respect to Auxilio, (c) each Stockholder acknowledged that the Auxilio Stock was being acquired for investment intent and constitute "restricted securities" for purposes of the Securities Act, and agreed to transfer such securities only in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and (d) a legend has been, or will be, placed on the certificates representing each such security stating that it was restricted and could only be transferred if subsequently registered under the Securities Act or transferred in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Review, Relief, Reflection, and the other "R" Word
Review This last year and a half has been pretty crazy. I was like 52 weeks pregnant with Ev when E was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis. When Ev was 8 days old, Ell was put under to have a cortisone injection in her knee. Then the physical therapy began. A few months later she started taking injectable Methotrexate orally to try to reduce the inflammation in her right hand. Then the occupational therapy began. Soon we had to switch to {Read More}

Innovation in Substance Use Disorders and Mental Health Treatment
Today, the Office of National Drug Control Policy hosted a conference at the White House to highlight innovative technologies for substance abuse treatment, wellness, mental and behavioral health. Supported by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA), the Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), and the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the conference was kicked off by U.S. Chief Technology Officer Todd Park and Office of National Drug Control Policy Director Gil Kerlikowske.
Mr. Park previously served as Chief Technology Officer of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where he helped HHS harness the power of data, technology, and innovation to improve the health of the Nation.
Conference panelists presented on a range of innovative health technologies—from smartphone apps that help people stay sober to biosensors that can detect human emotion. You can find the full conference agenda online here and archived video of the conference will be available here.
During the conference, ONC's Jodi Daniel announced the winner of the Behavioral Health Patient Empowerment Challenge, the Hazelden Foundation's Mobile MORE smartphone app. We congratulate Hazelden and thank all conference participants for a lively, engaging day discussing some of the most forward-leaning innovations in behavioral health.

Rhinoceros cockroaches are usually solitary but adult males sometimes live with females that are almost mature.This rhinoceros cockroach lives in permanent burrows, which it digs using its spade-like forelegs.
Rhinoceros cockroaches are nocturnal, only leaving their burrows to forage for food or, in the case of adult males, to search for mates.
Unusually for cockroaches, they feed on dry plant debris such as dead leaves and the bark of twigs, which they drag down into their burrow and pack into the tunnel to feast upon at leisure. During the dry season of May to November they remain in their burrow feeding on the litter they have stored there.
Adults and large nymphs can hiss by expelling air from their last pair of abdominal spiracles (tiny breathing holes in the exoskeleton). They hiss when disturbed, when courting and when fighting. Fighting is commonest between adult males. Each male lowers his pronotum, the plate above his head, and then butt each other. The loser often gets turned over.

Whew, this year has completely flown by! I planned on blogging about my Common Core Weekly Reading sets along time ago. But, better late than never!
These resources have been a complete life saver for me this year. I have not had to worry about reading homework at all. And I know that what I am giving the students for homework is meaningful and common core aligned.
In each bundle (There is a 3rd grade bundle and a 4th/5th grade bundle), there are a total of 9 sets.
The sets focus on specific common core skills and can be mixed and matched to fit any pacing guide. Each set is broke down like this:
- 4 reading passages that focus on a specific Common Core skill(s) (1 passage a week)
- Options for daily assignments to use with the passages
- Thursday text dependent comprehension questions that allow for further practice of the focus skill (and other Common Core skills as well)
Let's take a look at this resource in action!
Here is the passage we used this week (from the Theme Set). The students use the same passage for a day, with a different daily assignment. This really supports close reading of a text. As you can see from the images, students have underlined and written notes on the passage as required by the daily assignments.
This next component is optional. My school does not have a copy limit, so I am able to copy a page for the students to record their daily assignments. In addition to marking the text, some of the assignments require written responses. If you are limited on your copies, a piece of notebook paper, the back of the passage, or even a notebook would work! Here you can see some of my students' daily responses:
Finally, each passage has a set of text dependent questions that require evidence from the passage, and the questions are common core aligned.
I currently have a 4th/5th grade combined set and a 3rd grade combined set.
You can find the bundled sets by clicking on the images!

2013 Diversity Conference: Our Differences, Our Strength
|Title/ Abstract
1) Speed Dating to Facilitate Near Peer Mentoring between RWJ Scholars
RWJ Foundation is interested in increasing diversity within nursing and provides scholarships to minority students .A hallmark of the RWJ scholarship program and The Uof Rochester School of Nursing is a commitment to leadership. A component of leadership is mentoring. Literature suggests that near peer mentors may be beneficial in assisting the transition from student to new nurse RWJ recipients are diverse, educated and many have previous leadership experiences. Eager to improve current student and new nurse success a plan was devised to encourage the formation of mentoring relationships between past and present RWJ scholarship using a speed dating format.

2) The UR Teen Health & Success Partnership: Connecting Rochester City Youth to Education and Health Career Opportunities
The University of Rochester Teen Health and Success Partnership was created to improve the Rochester City high school graduation rate, to improve urban youth college enrollment, to increase urban youth exposure to academic and health care careers and to collaborate with community partners to solve the Rochester City teen education crisis. Academic and health care employers rarely hire teens on a continuous basis. This program is not an internship or co-op, but rather a continuous employment opportunity. Teens are assimilated into the UR workforce and provided with the opportunities to access UR resources and employment advancement. This program collaborates with Rochester community agencies and uses UR employment as an incentive for Rochester high school students to graduate from high school and enter college or a trade school. The partnership provides long-term advocacy, academic resources, life skills development, and job training. The UR is proud to have among its workforce 100 motivated, productive and diverse young urban adults. Since its inception in 2009, the program has grown from 11 to 100 employed Rochester urban teens. 37 UR departments employ these Rochester teens. The students are actively contributing to the UR's daily operations while successfully achieving their academic and employment goals. The students enhance UR daily operations by providing excellent customer service, enhancing both the age and cultural workforce diversity, improving worksite spirit de corp with youthful energy, providing a budget efficient workforce, and by providing opportunities for adult staff to mentor and supervise. The high school graduation rate for UR employed teens is 100% compared to the 49% graduation rate seen in the Rochester City School District.

3) WiSTEE (Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Entrepreneurship) Connect
There are few women at the entry point of career path in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Entrepreneurship (STEE) and fewer of them rise to the top. WiSTEE Connect's vision is to build a regional organization to promote women leadership in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Entrepreneurship, increase cross-disciplinary connectivity and mentorship, intersect science and entrepreneurship, and forge collective advancement. WiSTEE Connect aims at providing a comforting female networking environment and concrete professional development opportunities, building informal mentorship and collaboration among members, and ultimately generating greater flow of women into the pipeline of STEM fields.

4) Faculty Perceptions of Diversity and its Importance within the Curriculum
A survey was created to assess faculty cultural competence and inclusion of diversity topics in the curriculum. The survey consisted of 26 questions that addressed experiences with various populations, interest in diversity topics, and how diversity is covered in the curriculum. Faculty reported that diversity topics are included in both required and elective courses and that there is interest to include additional topics in the future. Efforts outside of the classroom and suggested future areas of study were also described. Implementing this survey provided a snapshot of faculty experiences with diversity and also guided efforts for future initiatives.

5) The Impact of Supports on the Academic Success of Graduate Students of Color at Predominately White Institutions: A Literature Review
Graduate school can be a challenging, stressful and all consuming experience for students regardless of race and ethnicity (Gay, 2004; Ellis, 2001). For graduate students of color, especially those students who are enrolled at Predominately White Institutions (PWIs), additional factors can significantly impact their persistence, continued enrollment and academic attainment. Such factors include limited social support, financial hardship, a lack of adequate mentorship, racism, race-related stress, benign neglect from faculty, isolation and negative perceptions of their campus' racial climate. These factors may negatively impact their sense of self, their psychological well-being and cause students to engage in self-censorship, question their ability to succeed, stifle their scholarly endeavors and/or withdraw from the institution. Various on-campus supports, such as mentoring, support networks and both academic and social integration, have proven to be effective in building their academic success. Social support, including mentorship and peer networks, seems to be most effective in assisting students of color at PWIs obtain their academic goals.
|Atiya Smith
6) Social Network Analysis on Researcher Resilience through Multidimensional Mentoring
Underrepresented scholars participate in academia at rates far below their representation in the U.S. population. As a sub analysis of the project of Researcher Resilience through Multidimensional Mentoring study, we conduct Social Network Analysis (SNA) to understand how social network facilitates/supports protégés' academic productivity. We use the software Pajek (2005) to create a schematic of protégé-to-protégé and protégé-to-mentor academic networks among underrepresented protégés and their senior faculty mentor. By employing social network analysis to analyze co- publications and grant money awarded, we offer an innovative approach to evaluating and graphically presenting the strength of protégé-to-protégé and mentor-to-protégé networks.

7) Community-Based Doula Services for Underserved Populations
Community-based doula systems have been successful in improving maternal and child outcomes in underserved communities. In collaboration with the Doula Coalition and the Perinatal Network of Monroe County, a needs assessment survey was conducted using a Community-Based Participatory Research model. Grant money is being sought to begin implementation of a community doula program in Rochester.

8) Why International Students - An Ethnography Study on the International Graduate Students at Warmer School of Education
There are more and more international graduate students at Warmer School of Education. What does that mean? This research is an ethnography study on the international graduate students at Warmer. Qualitative research methodology is used for this study, including document study, participant observation, fieldnotes and interview. In addition to the researcher, there are other participants, the school administration and the international students from Indonesia, Turkey, China, Bangladesh etc. It is found from the study that it is strategic win-win from social, political and economic perspectives to both Warmer and the individuals of international students.

9) Teacher Educators for Social Justice: Anything But Complacent
In 1998, neo-conservative advocate Heather Mac Donald asserted that teacher educators taught future teachers about cultural sensitivity, social adjustment and self-actualization, but not about knowledge. In what she called an 'Anything But Knowledge doctrine', Mac Donald claimed teacher educators replaced, to the detriment of teacher candidates, 'plain old knowledge' with 'constructing knowledge' and 'contextualizing knowledge'. More recently, George Will called for the closure of all schools of education, adding that it was "the surest, quickest way to add quality to primary and secondary education" (Will, 2006). Will furthered his condemnation of teacher educators for their commitment to promote social justice, to be change agents, and to recognize individual and institutional racism. He suggested that such an emphasis came at a cost: A de-emphasis of teaching reading, writing, or reason. This paper examines these neo-liberal criticisms of teacher educators for social justice and examines what they have left out of their analyses: The connections between knowledge construction and literacy, between racism and student under-performance, and between multicultural education and academic success. The case is not that reading, writing, or reason are displaced by 'anything but knowledge', but rather through a process of anti-racist pedagogies, students develop critical reading, critical writing, and critical reasoning skills that form a more complex and more useful form of knowledge, an emancipatory knowledge.

10) Transition Opportunities at the University of Rochester (TOUR)
The UR community will discover how a Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) has effectively engaged faculty and the wider campus community at the University of Rochester, and at three other local colleges. Students with intellectual disabilities are learning alongside UR students and peer mentors through campus clubs, courses, and internships. This partnership with Monroe 1 BOCES illuminates how colleges and school districts can provide meaningful opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities on campus.

12) Understanding and Preventing Relationship Violence in College
Technology is an ever-growing field, and with its growth relationships have changed. Connections are held constant between friends, relatives, and – important for this study – intimate relationships. Constantly connected worlds, however, present new forms of harassment and abuse, and for college students this presents an even more challenging experience due to close community living. Using a sample of 160 English-speaking undergraduates at a private university in New York, investigators examined college adjustment, students' experiences with intimate partner violence (IPV) and the use of technology for abuse.

13) Evaluation of Culturally Relevant Health Education Programs in an Outpatient Clinic in Roatan, Honduras
As part of a medical mission to Roatan, Honduras, three health education programs were developed and presented to patients in a rural community health clinic. Health programs included culturally sensitive health information on hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia. Bilingual educational pamphlets were prepared and distributed to patients with the disease states. Participants were asked to complete a voluntary six question survey containing Likert-scale and open-ended questions evaluating the program. Participants indicated that the programs assisted in their knowledge of the disease state and had useful application to their daily lives.

14) Trans*literate: Exploring the Experience of Transgender, Genderqueer, and Non-gender Conforming Individuals in Clinical Settings
Interviews were conducted to explore the range of experiences and emotions associated with seeking medical care as a transgender or genderqueer person. Areas of discussion included particularly positive or negative interactions with medical professionals, ways that offices can make transgender patients feel welcome and comfortable, and what are the areas of greatest concern as viewed by members of the transgender community. The experiences of transgender individuals varied dramatically with regards to medical provider conduct, training, and office setting. One person's doctor walked out of an appointment when he learned of his patient's gender identity, other people described medical professionals who were welcoming, non-judgmental, and if not initially knowledgeable about transgender health care, were committed to learning from their patients and from other resources.
|Margaret Grove
15) URMC's Transgender HealthCARE Conference: Transitioning, Transcending and Teaching our Community
Transgender individuals have unique health experiences and needs that are often unmet by the general medical community. To help address these disparities and enhance inclusion practices we organized a Transgender Healthcare conference with a goal of improving the overall health and well-being of transgender individuals in the Upstate New York region through the education of healthcare providers. By the end of the conference, participants perceived themselves as having developed necessary skills to implement strategies designed to improve and support gender variant accessible practices. We present the structure and topics of this ground-breaking conference as well as some feedback from participants.

18) Our Differences, Our Strengths: Rochester Youth Year Fellowship
The Rochester Youth Year Fellowship mobilizes recent graduates of Rochester-area colleges to expand the capacity of community organizations to empower urban youth and strengthen their communities. Founded in 2007, the program is a collaborative effort of seven bachelor's-degree-granting institutions in the Rochester area. The goals of Rochester Youth Year are to alleviate the effects of poverty on youth, strengthen communities, and promote civic engagement and community-centered leadership. RYY Fellows create lasting partnerships between the community, their host organizations, and their alma maters. Serving as role models and liaisons, they engage area colleges in substantial opportunities to engage with the the Rochester community.
|Glenn Cerosaletti, Jenna Dell, and Jennifer Moffit
19) The Human Library at the University of Rochester
A Human Library is a way for people to connect and share stories with individuals in their community with whom they might not normally engage. Participants have an opportunity during a planned event to borrow Human Books and to engage in conversation with the books. Human Libraries promote tolerance, celebrate differences and encourage understanding of people who come from varied cultural or lifestyle backgrounds. This poster will describe the organization of the Human Library event held in Rush Rhees Library on January 29th, 2013, including details on the genesis of the idea, our recruitment efforts, feedback and related press.

20) Fostering Cultural Intelligence Among Social Workers: Professional Development Recommendations
Cultural intelligence (CQ) is comprised of four distinct factors—motivational CQ, cognitive CQ, metacognitive CQ, and behavioral CQ—that represent a set of capabilities that can be influenced and are important for high-quality personal relationships and effectiveness in culturally diverse situations (Earley & Ang, 2003). Recommendations for fostering cultural intelligence among social workers include: (a) ongoing clinician self assessment of cultural intelligence to improve service delivery, (b) professional development that uses an experiential-learning approach, and (c) professional development activities that apply professional development best practices designed to enhance CQ capabilities.

14 March 2012
Directors UK CEO Andrew Chowns and members of the DUK Board and staff will be on the road in March with a series of meetings for members and non-members at venues throughout the UK.
These meetings will be an opportunity for directors to hear about our current Directors UK projects including the new Creative Rights Agreement with the BBC, the Film Policy Review and Film Directors Contracts, ITV pay negotiations and the UK Rights Agreement. It is also going to be an important opportunity for you to talk about the issues that are crucial for you and your nation or region.
Andrew Chowns says: "These meetings will help us to be sure that we listen to all our members throughout the UK and understand your concerns and aspirations. It's vital we communicate with all directors about the work we are doing and the policies that we are supporting."
Members will be given priority but non-members will be welcome to attend, space permitting.
Details of the date and venue are as follows:
Wednesday 14th - GLASGOW
Venue: BBC Scotland, Pacific Quay, Glasgow, G51 1DA
Time: 5-7pm
To book on this meeting please click on the link below. Or if you have any questions please email Andrew's assistant on firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you so much to Victoria, Tom and Andrew for organising and being at the meeting. It was the first one I have managed to get to and it didn't disappoint. Some great discussion topics and very well lead by Andrew, Tom and Victoria, sorry I had to dash off with out saying a proper goodbye and thank you. One of the main themes that came out of the evening was the sense and feeling that as Directors we didn't have a community in Scotland, something I agree with. If there is any interest in moving that on a little bit, i am very happy to try and organise an informal get together, with or with out a speaker. Let me have your thoughts. David
