Join hundreds of fellow advocates, families, and colleagues in Annapolis to make your voice heard!
Developmental Disabilities Day at the Legislature is an opportunity to advance our grassroots movement for people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD).
Every day, tens of thousands of Marylanders with I/DD are impacted by the public policy decisions of Legislature– the amount of funding available for DD services and the Waiting Lists, civil rights issues like housing and transportation accessibility and the right to be free from unnecessary restraint and seclusion, the availability of free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment, and the protection of our waivers, are just some of the current issues affecting those with I/DD.
At DD Day, you will receive briefings on some of the more critical topics in disability policy this session, then you'll go to the House and Senate Office buildings to meet with your elected officials and their staff to share information, your experiences and tell your story.
DD Day is a very popular event and we sell out every year! Registration will close on February 4th or sooner if we reach capacity prior to that date. If you have any questions, please contact Luc Chausse at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (410) 571-9320. ASL and Spanish Interpretation will be provided for those who indicate a need for these services on the registration form. An accessible changing room will also be available upon request.
$20 for self-advocates, Direct Support Professionals, and family members, and
$27 per person for all others (organizational employees (except DSPs) and volunteers, professional staff, and government employees)
Please note: you must schedule your own appointments with your legislators. This is your opportunity to educate legislators about the important issues facing children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Please schedule your appointments as soon as possible as we are not the only group advocacy event/meeting in Annapolis on this date, and legislators' schedules will likely fill up.
You must bring a valid state issued ID to enter the Legislative Buildings.

Here's what else is on my radar this week:
the president and the Constitution– AGAIN. In nearly 3 years in office, president Donald
Trump has spend federal dollars not authorized by Congress,
Separated families and incarcerated children at the Texas-Mexico border in defiance of
a federal court order, pulled 1,000 troops out of Syria, ignoring a commitment to allies
and facilitated war against civilians there, and send 2,000 American troops to Saudi Arabia
without a congressional authorization or declaration of war. He has also criminally obstructed a Department
of Justice investigation into him but escaped prosecution because of the intercession of
an attorney general more loyal to him than to the Constitution—the CONSTITUTION. At the outset of his presidency, Trump took
the presidential oath of office promising that he would faithfully execute
his obligation to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. James Madison, the scrivener of the Constitution,
insisted that the word "faithfully" be in the presidential oath and that the oath
itself be in the Constitution to remind presidents to enforce laws and comply with constitutional
provisions whether they agree with them or not and to immunize the oath from Congressional
alteration. Can the president of the United States lawfully
enforce only the clauses of the Constitution with which he agrees and ignores those with
which he disagrees? In a word: no. The doctrine of the separation of powers,
which is the backbone of the Constitution, states that Congress writes the law, the president
enforces them, and the courts interpret them. It also offers that the government roles of
the three branches cannot be intermingled or traded without undermining the protections
for personal liberty that the separation of powers was intended to secure. If the president could pick and choose which
laws to enforce and which parts of the Constitution to ignore, he effectively would be deciding
what the laws mean– that's a judicial function – and which laws have vitality and which
do not – that's a congressional function. President Trump has become known for forceful
and often tasteless banter. He publicly calls people crude names, uses
foul language, and sends dog-whistles of lawless behavior to many of his supporters. All of that is a question of free speech,
personal taste, and political risk. But threats to ignore parts of the Constitution
are not matters of speech, taste or risk. They reveal character traits that question
the president's fitness for office. This is what it looks like when a Republican
decides to put country over party and not discard every shred of integrity in blind
deference to a corrupt president. And rest assured, Andrew Napolitano, Fox News'
senior judicial analyst, is no Democrat or liberal. In this same profile, Napolitano is actually
asked if he would vote to impeach Trump if he was a Democrat in the House, to which he
responded, "If I could modify your question to ask if there's a legal basis to argue
high crimes and misdemeanors, then the answer is yes. That's really beyond dispute … If I were
a Democrat in the House, which I am not and never will be, I would vote to impeach." And the fact that I even have to qualify his
party affiliation is a testament to just how far the GOP has fallen. That it's news that a Republican can manage
to admit that, oh I don't know, extorting a foreign country with legally allocated,
taxpayer funded military assistance for help in an upcoming election is NOT A GOOD THING
BUT A BAD THING goes to show exactly the state that the GOP is in these days. The only problem of course, is that Napolitano
isn't in Congress, where you would THINK that our elected officials on the right would
have a better sense than ANYONE about what's right and wrong. And yet they're so scared of the backlash
that would come from daring to criticize Trump that they would rather be on record DEFENDING
a president extorting a foreign country for personal help in the next election, DEFENDING
a president hiding incriminating summaries of his calls in secure servers, DEFENDING
a president blocking his officials from showing up to testify to Congress in response to legally
binding subpoenas. Republicans are on record pretending – literally,
pretending – that there's some equivalency between a debunked conspiracy theory about
Joe Biden and Trump's own ADMITTED criminal behavior with regard to Ukraine. They've come out and tried to muddy the
waters with claims that the whistleblower can't be trusted because he or she is a
partisan, despite not knowing who the whistleblower is; that you can't have second-hand information
in a whistleblower complaint, even though it's perfectly acceptable; that impeachment
is unconstitutional, even though it's in the Constitution; that Adam Schiff personally
counseled the whistleblower, even though he's never met the whistleblower and it was Intel
Committee staff who CORRECTLY advised the whistleblower to seek legal counsel and file
a complaint with the Intel Community Inspector General; that Democrats were holding secret
impeachment hearings in the basement of the Capitol, even though the entire process is
based on rules passed by REPUBLICANS in 2015; that quid pro quos are perfectly acceptable,
even though they are decidedly not perfectly acceptable. These are the hoops that Republicans are jumping
through to defend the indefensible. These are the ways that they're debasing
themselves and what they've claimed to believe in, all for what? To protect a president who can't even crack
50% approval? Who has presided over losses in deep red seats
in Kentucky, Virginia, Alabama, Wisconsin, Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Minnesota, Colorado, Texas, Iowa, Georgia, South Carolina, Illinois, Michigan, Utah,
Kansas, Nevada, Oklahoma, California and New Mexico? Who drove Democrats to the biggest victory
in the House in modern American history during midterms? I get that Trump's base is with him no matter
what, but is tearing up the Constitution really worth it to appease that 30% of Americans
who couldn't tell you the first line of the Constitution if their lives depended on
it? Is it really worth it to avoid an angry tweet
in Trump's twitter feed? So far, the really unfortunate answer, it
that apparently, it is. So rest assured, Trump will continue to break
our laws so long as he knows those charged with passing them won't have enough of a
collective backbone to speak out. He'll continue to refer to the emoluments
clause as phony so he can self-deal, he'll continue to extort and bribe foreign countries
so he can get a leg up in yet another election, he'll continue to obstruct justice so that
warranted oversight gets shut down. The fact is, if you're a Republican, you
can either be in favor of the rule of law or you can be in favor of protecting Donald
Trump, but you can't be in favor of both.

Liz joined the Duke Global Health Institute and the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics in March 2012 to collaborate with, and provide biostatistical support to DGHI faculty and affiliates. With a PhD in statistics from McGill University, Canada, followed by four years working as a collaborative biostatistician in the Department of Medical Statistics, Faculty of Epidemiology and Population Health of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Liz has extensive experience working in both epidemiological studies and randomized trials across a range of substantive areas in developed world and resource poor settings.
Thanks to her participation in multi-disciplinary projects, she has a great appreciation for the importance of good study design and data collection and is well aware that no fancy statistical analyses can save researchers from the scourge of bad data. Through those experiences and her teaching in different settings, including the UK, Canada, France and Tanzania, she is aware that statisticians and their collaborators sometimes "speak a different language". As a result, her approach is very much one of translation, pragmatism and collaboration. Her current substantive interests include malaria, disability and disease burden with an emphasis on eye diseases, cardiovascular disease and mental health, together with child health and education.
Starting in fall 2013, Liz will teach the MSc-GH core course Introduction to Quantitative Research Methods for Global Health Science I.
Biostatistics and Epidemiology for Global Health
Course introduces principles of epidemiology, including disease frequency measures; measures of association; observational, experimental, and quasi-experimental study designs; validity -- confounding, selection bias, measurement error; reliability. Course interweaves introductory biostatistics for continuous and categorical variables. Course has a data analysis lab section in which students walk through a guided data analysis on a provided data set, such as Demographic and Health Surveys.

Christmas Mystery and Wonder
"The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.'" Luke 1:35
The mystery and wonder of what we call the 'Annunciation' is central to the Christmas message. Jesus is God in the flesh conceived by the Holy Spirit in a virgin named Mary. Let this wondrous mystery seep into your soul and prepare your heart for the joyous entry of our Savior into the world of men.
Today marks the beginning of week #2 on the Advent Calendar. May God use this time to enrich your joy and gratitude for the gift we received from our Father.
Week #2: Personal Preparation
Light the second Advent candle as someone reads Isaiah 11:1-5 and Romans 3:23.
As we begin this second week of Advent, preparation through wonder is our focus. There is a reason Christ came as God in the Flesh. That reason is our desperate need for a Savior. Since the Fall in the Garden, man's heart is scarred by sin and a predisposition toward disobedience and rebellion. Let me say it again… we need a Savior!
Yet, does it not seem illogical that a holy God would choose to enter our world through the normal process of human birth in a manger with the express purpose of surrendering to a cruel death on a cross on our behalf? Who would come up with such a crazy plan? Surely the angelic host must have puzzled over this as well.
This is a time to stop and ponder this inexplicable mystery of God who entered our world by humbling Himself to save us because He loves us that much. The thought of it is so wonderous because it is so preposterous to our imaginations.
Three powerful symbols or images of the Christian faith encapsulate the glorious mystery of God's Incarnation and plan of salvation—the baby in a manger, the cruel cross, and the empty tomb. Yet, as significant as these are for us as believers, the visual image of the Christ child lying in a cow stall feed trough may be the most troublesome image for many people.
After all, how could the Creator stoop to such a low and unimpressive entrance into our world? This isn't how a king should come, let alone the King of kings! Yet, it is precisely this mysterious intervention of God into our world that compels us to fall on our knees in awe, wonder and amazement as we encounter God's nature and love for us—sinners in need of a Savior.
This was no human invention, but the intervention of a loving and merciful God. And He did it for us! Where do you stand on the 'awe and wonder' scale during this Advent season?
A Powerful Christmas Tradition
Might I suggest a Christmas family tradition that, if you are not already using it, might help elevate the wonder scale? It's a simple, yet profound way of expressing the wonder of God's entrance into our world.
- Remove the Christ child from your crèche or nativity scene and wrap it in a nice package with a gift tag marked: To: (Your family), From: God.
- Place it under the tree to be the last gift you open on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
- After opening this gift, replace the Christ child in the crèche as someone reads Luke 2:1-20. Follow up by asking for responses about the significance of the way Christ came.
In the meantime, prepare your heart for the wonder and awe of Christ's coming. This was the moment in which the angelic host sang in what must have been a glorious sound: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests." Maybe we ought to do the same?

James Werts, Tallinn Estonia (originally from Detroit Michigan)
I started playing the bass guitar at the age of 12 years old. I started playing after a friend of mine who was 10 years old at the time (he played guitar and bass) taught me a few baselines lines to play. I also had drum lessons in Jr and high school.
My first impression when playing the SIRE Marcus Miller V7 bass guitar for the first time was I took it from the box and without trying it out at home, I took it without a backup bass guitar and I was in total shock. My reaction from the first note I played had me saying…."Oh, this is it".
Drums were my first bought instrument as a 11 years old kid. I saved up money from my summer job and bought a used set. Very durable set which came with 2 cymbals, hi hat, 2 toms, 1 floor tom, 1 bass drum and hardware.
I have 4 bass guitars. 3 electric jazz basses and 1 semi acoustic bass guitar. My first love was my special made "Pavel Jazz Deluxe 5" (3), then came my Fender MIM jazz bass (2) and now I'm in love with number 1, my SIRE Marcus Miller V7 jazz bass.
The MM V7 is my main "Go to" bass guitar now. Knowing what my other two electric basses can do, once I plugged in the MM V7, that warm vintage sound that I was looking for in the other high-end basses, the MM V7 provided just that. And the bass guitar SIRE didn't stop there, it also provided me with a great modern tone. Crisp high-end with a growl. And a passive mood is probably what every vintage jazz bassist imagine what they want and should have in their jazz bass(s) sound.
I virtually practice at least 5 days a week. Mostly at home and at night (headphones). And most of the time it's only me. As I tend to keep the practice time I have for myself. My practice time ranges from 2-3 hours a night. Mainly working on songs, chops. I am also performing at least 3 to 4 days a week as well.
New tunes (original, covers), semi hard tunes and various genres from Jazz, Funk, Pop, Hip hop, Brazilian, African, Gospel.
I perform in public. Our band tends to draw a large audience who are ready to dance and have a great time. We performed many concerts in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Egypt, Turkey, Sweden, Hong Kong and Russia. Am I famous in this country? Let's just say that they (the people) think I'm famous, I don't think so. I am known throughout Estonia and parts of Latvia, whether from TV, radio, magazine interviews in the music genre. :)
I don't make mistakes!!!! Hahahaha! I can cleverly disguise my mistakes, right! Hahahahaha!
Self taught. I've since learned to read musical notes. But I have the ear which comes first in learning new tunes. Just other than my good friend Jesse teaching a blues bass line in my early days.
It's not an over-night success for playing the bass. You have to dig in a start from the bottom in learning how to play the bass guitar. I suggest learning to read music as well. So be prepare to be hit with a lot of challenges in learning your bass guitar. And most of all, be sure this (bass guitar or any music instrument) is what you want. No regrets.
Jazz and funky jazz. Deep soulful R&B, groove tunes.
Cory Henry on keys, Marcus Miller on bass, Kenny Garrett sax, Chris Coleman drums
Still doing what I LOVE, music!
As well all know music is the ultimate language where most everybody understands. In every genre of music around the world, each and every one of us truly can talk through music.
Music means a lot to me. It fulfill my thirst, and I'm always thirsty for music. Whether playing before a large audience or before a small group of people or even in my home practicing, I get the joy of spreading the ultimate language to many people and myself.
Start working on getting a bigger work staff to compete with the influx of bassists inquiring to buy themselves a Marcus Miller V7 bass. There's a huge storm of bass guitarists coming, and they're readying to buy your beautiful made bass guitars and guitar. SIRE and Marcus Miller just up's the game!

I'm a playwright whose productions include 'Slummers' (Cardboard Citizens), '2066' (Almeida Theatre), The Invisible Boy (Tricycle Theatre), These Four Streets (Birmingham Rep), and the South Bank Show award nominated White Open Spaces (Pentabus Theatre). I was one of three playwrights selected for the inaugural Old Vic 12, and was also the 2018 Channel 4 Writer in Residence at the Orange Tree Theatre. I'm currently under commission to Kiln Theatre, The Coterie, Orange Tree Theatre, the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and National Theatre Learning.
