Concerns Regarding the Placement of Transitional Roommates in RA Rooms for the Fall of 2012 This list raises the concerns of RAs at MSU. Many RAs work very hard for the Department of Residence Life and all RAs deserve to have their voices and concerns heard and addressed. This list has the potential to grow as more RAs connect and share their thoughts on the matter. 1. The extra stress an RA will feel will cause them to be less effective in establishing a solid community. The well being of the RA is particularly important during the first 6 weeks of the semester. Without their own space and privacy, the RA will burn out quickly which will result in unsuccessful floors and ultimately an unhappy MSU community. 2. The compensation for RAs is a single room and a meal plan. By assigning the RA a roommate, their compensation is cut, they are receiving extra work, and their privacy is taken from them. This will lead to very unhappy RAs which will lead to unsuccessful communities. 3. Last year Mentors were offered $100/week to have a roommate during a transitional period because a room is part of our compensation. Why is this different now? What will the RA receive if the roommate stays in their room a week? A month? A semester? 4. Transitional housing affects the residents in transitional housing. These effects have not seemed to be long lasting from the experience this past fall. Placing a transitional student in an RA room, however, will have negative effects on the entire community. This type of transitional housing will affect every student, not just those in the triple rooms. 5. Are students in single rooms being contacted and offered compensation for taking on a transitional roommate? 6. What priority will the RAs with transitional roommates be given in the breakdown of transitional housing? Will all triples be broken down before RA rooms are broken down? If RA rooms are first priority then why place residents in them? The stress this will cause for the resident and the RA is not worth having one less triple room. 7. How will RA rooms with transitional students be broken down? Who will get priority in this situation? This situation could cause resentment between RAs on staff and across campus who have their roommates moved out before others. 8. It has been stated that OCAT Aides will not host transitional students. This can likely lead to resentment between the RAs and Aides since the RAs will be very unhappy and uncomfortable. 9. RAs are expected to be welcoming and helpful to all residents as they move into their rooms. An RA will have a difficult time being helpful and attentive to their new residents if they are concerned about their roommate arriving and trying to move all of their things into the RA’s room, which will have already been set up for 2 weeks since the RA moves in early for fall training. 10. RAs have many responsibilities, but RAs are students and individuals too. They need to be treated fairly, and placing a resident in their room while still expecting them to complete their duties and be successful students is unreasonable. 11. Where would RAs go to resolve conflicts as they arise on the floor. During the first few days/weeks these are prevalent as people get settled. Conversations with a roommate would not be private and there aren't always options on the floor or even in the building for a private/safe space. There is also concern with lack of privacy in terms of disclosure. The roommate might not know why someone is coming to see the RA, but they will know someone IS coming to see the RA and who they are. This could cause rumors and drama on the floor, particularly among roommates if there's a conflict between them. Even if someone is going through something serious, now there's someone else who knows something is up. 12. RAs are concerned that residents (especially new ones that don't know the RA) will be nervous to come seek them out knowing that their roommate could very well answer the door, especially when something occurs in the middle of the night. Current residents have confirmed that this would discourage them from reaching out to their RA for help. 13. During the first weeks, RAs fill out resident info sheets, roommate agreements, and more. With a roommate, the RA cannot have any sensitive documents or those pertaining to their job specifically in their room, they must be kept in an office (for West Circle this could very well mean another building entirely). This doesn't make things easy if a roommate conflict or something comes up and the situation must be paused so an RA can run somewhere to grab the documents. 14. If the RA has any personal or confidential documents in their room and the roommate, the roommate’s friends, or other residents from the floor have access to these documents or personal information, what action can be taken? Personal property needs to be respected. 15. Not all RA rooms are the same...

The Negron/Mazurek (Medical), Cannabis "Trafficking" trial Case No.15-9-02848-42 resumes April 17th 2016 at Cobb County Superior Court 6th floor courtroom 6200 I'm grateful for your interest, hope you will consider supporting my efforts at exoneration and accept my sincere intention to be a part of solutions & rational change for Georgia. If there is any further information needed, please do not hesitate to contact me. Excerpts from the Petition, article & statements: Essentially this criminal legal action seeks to use a questionable & problematic search warrant, to prosecute and imprison a seriously suffering and medically disabled medical cannabis patient & his caregiver. They are accused of growing an over exaggerated amount of medical cannabis for his various treatments. No evidence or even accusation of sales, no distribution, no scales, no money, no valuables, no monetary enrichment. The charge of "trafficking" is alleged simply on the technically arbitrary amount of plants seized by weight; that’s it. I write to you as a fellow American citizen in hope that you are an advocate of medicinal cannabis & will consider helping us to get their story in front of more people. Given the circumstance, we respectfully believe the State of Georgia has the wisdom, legal authority & discretion to make the decision not to prosecute. These are not the criminal traffickers the State has in mind when pursuing criminals. Here is further information in the form of a short bio links About the defendants: Scott is an ex-professional & volunteer, Firefighter/First responder medic & business owner. He has been repeatedly awarded & cited over the past 30 years for multiple "acts of Civic Heroism" both on the job and as a civilian, for intervening in accidents/fires & violent crimes on the behalf of other people at great risk to himself. He has done thousands of hours of volunteer & pro-Bono work starting in the 70's teaching basic computing to young kids at Montessori summer school in Santa Barbara. Here is his LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-negron-85411524 As he was raising his own son as a primary custody parent, he cared for his elderly grandparents through their struggle with Alzheimer's disease & dementia to maintain dignity in their old age for 12 years in his home as a custodial guardian, to keep them out of a nursing home until their death all while dealing with his own health issues & physical changes. He has worked hard, affected and saved many lives and served his community well. He is being painted as a criminal "with a history" because of several arrests (no convictions) on record and incredibly, his assistant/caregiver was being tried as an accomplice! David Mazurek, Born in Green Bay Wisconsin moved to Georgia in 1973 is a local resident. A graduate of Tucker High School & Georgia Tech. University with a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial & Aerospace Engineering. He worked in both Defense & Aerospace, held security clearances and (at 58 years old), has never been arrested, not even a misdemeanor traffic violation. He has never smoked, used or knowingly tried cannabis or any illegal narcotic in his life. In 2002 he went to work with Negron's small subcontracting business & eventually came to join their family, helping to care for "Jorge & Josephine", the grandparents as a live-in assistant caregiver. Jorge literally died in David’s arms & Josephine followed to the other side within months. After their deaths, Mazurek stayed on to help care for Scott's ever worsening medical disabilities. Despite never having used any illegal drugs in his entire life, both Mazurek & Negron were accused of "appearing heavily intoxicated with Cannabis". To sum up David’s culpability: an officer said: "there is no way he didn't know about it, so that means he was involved." There was also a misleading written accusation of violent assault being committed contained in and cited as probable cause on the application for the search warrant. This issue is about medical Freedom (of choice) or medical cannabis, illegal search & asset seizure. As Scott wrote: "We need your help and are asking, praying for help & calling on you, fellow citizens and friends: all Medical Cannabis advocates for desperately needed moral/vocal support." Statement from Negron: "I hope to convince you to take a minute to look into my case, sign & circulate this petition to support me, a fellow who is sick and now in mortal danger. You see, I have been extremely ill, plagued with severe paralyzing chronic pain, degenerative joints & even longer with debilitating digestive ailments similar to Crohn's disease. I've run the gauntlet of doctors, almost a dozen of them, pain management and watched other friends die from long term heavy pain medication. Steroid treatment for asthma helped kill my father at 50 years old. The acute, chronic pain started circa 2000, & by 2005 doctor prescribed pharmaceutical pain-killers/Pain management, ...

This is what is sent to steam. "This is a on going issue and i hate to see it happen in the community. I was banned from Call Of Duty Modern warfare 2 for so called "cheating". The thing is i was penalized for confronting a hacker. I have explained this to steam a few times but haven't gotten a significant reply on any part or a reason why you guys went after me not the hacker. I was playing my normal Modern Warfare 2 when a "hacker" joins the lobby or i guess he had been the host since the beginning. Now the reason i came to Mw2 PC is because on the Playstation 3 the game is overpopulated with hackers and all sorts of "cheaters" and other people so i came here to play the game legit from level 1 to level 70 for youtube. Now seeing there was a so called hacker in the lobby i didn't like it because big flashy text came up on my screen saying modded lobby using Liberation v1(i don't know what the version was but it did say version), at this time i was everyone was thrown into a kinda restart match thing the map was changed to "Rust" and it sent me back into the Create a class menu, i then noticed me classes were changed and color modded(look at image for proof) I don't know if that was the name or the hacker or the creator because in game the hacker was flying and his scoreboard name was flashing colored letters. Anyways i confronted the hacker because i want the game to be legit he gave me infections like "slowness, and no gun" and things like that. After a short conversation of how he was destroying the Steam online PC community and making in Console-like i left and was brought back to the main menu where i noticed i was "Deranked" or set my levels back to level 1, very mad i got off the computer for a while. I then noticed the next time i came on i was banned....at first it said cheating detected and i thought because he changed my classes and colors i had to disable that so i did but it still didn't work so i eventually googled it and found out how i was screwed over and the hacker had one. I was punished for something that was not my fault. Why are you guys targeting me when there are hackers that are doing this in the first place. Yes i was "Infected" meaning some hacks were put on my like the slowness hack for arguing with the hacker himself and the color classes were on my profile for more than 24 hours because i though they had no effect. I the person trying to help the Steam community was punished violently and publicly for trying to help when the real hacker got away with everything. Your systems might have shown that i have had somehing on my profile thats cause i was infected and he hacked me with various things, infections stay with you until you log off. If i had the hackers name right now i would have reported him but like i said it was random numbers and color and i to this day wish i took more action like all i had to do was press shift and tab and look at recent players or click on his steam profile but at the time i didnt do anything except for confront him. I understand this VAC ban cant be lifted but i want you guys(valve) to learn from this and understand what had really happened and how to prevent it next time. Instead of jumping to conclusion you guys should maybe talk to them and ban them for a week or so until it gets cleared up and if further action needs to be taken then do it. Im glad you guys have the technology to find hackers but make sure your looking at the right things and right people now im not here to show you how to do your job but just saying why was I, the person trying to help banned for no reason but because a hacker toyed with a few in game addons. It has been 96 days since i was banned and i try to fight it every day i can. I believe this was unfair and un-right. I don't know if maybe someone was being abusive and if they read something they didnt like automatically thought it was their duty ti ban me for whatever reason or what. Please learn from this and help me repair what has been done. I understand you guys say you cant lift the ban but im sure there is something you guys can do like refund me(money is not really the problem here), lift the ban through a higher authority at valve, or even just hide the ban from my profile because its a stain. I am unable to do some many things with this ban like become a community moderator or translator i can almost speak fluent in Italian and am ok at spanish. Anyways my fans were upset i couldn't continue the series even thought it really never started i only had the game for maybe a week before i was banned. I would like this to be brought up to high level authority so some action can be taken. Feel free to reply maybe we can talk about this some more and crack down on who this hacker was. I will keep fighting this everyday until the right action is taken. I try to help as much as i can but it has been difficult lately because of the ban i hope we can fix this and if you have any more questions please ask because i hav...

There have been enormous cuts to the Department of Developmental Services, this year being the most profound and far reaching. For the first time, day program funding for 2016-2017 grads has been totally eliminated, VSP has been cut 60% and residential/home supports have also been drastically cut. There will be no hope of any residential services until the death of both parents or other profound crisis.
