Up Next: Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder Talc Ovarian Cancer Lawsuits
This content has been accessed 8742 times.
After the goverment of India discovered Johnson & Johnson was using a banned method of sterlizating talc because it leaves a residue known to increase risk of ovarian cancer, women in US start the next round of US lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson: Baby Powder
Keywords: Johnson and Johnson, Johnson & Johnson, baby, powder, cancer, lawsuit, 71 million, sued
Date Created/Edited: 2016, February 23
No stranger to poisoning babies for profit with formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane in their baby 'care' line of shampoos and soaps, Johnson & Johnson is again under the gavel for talc baby powder that dramatically increases the risk of women developing ovarian cancer. While only 3% of women's reproductive cancers, ovarian cancer is almost undetectable until it has spread to the uterus. Ovarian cancer has the highest death rate of all reproductive cancers, and is often refered to as a 'silent killer' since there are often no symptoms until after the cancer has spread throughout a woman's reproductive organs.
Back in 2013, a whistleblower in India exposed the fact that Johnson & Johnson was using a sterilization process that leaves behind a carcinogenic residue. The government of India took action against Johnson & Johnson by banning sales of some of their higher profit products, and many of their cosmetic products. The women of India were very angry and demanded that Johnson & Johnson stop treating women like guines pigs. Uh, the guinea pigs were how Johnson & Johnson found out the process increased the cancer rate. If they know it increases profitable cancers, we're no longer guinea pigs, but Cash Cows, eh?
The fight against harm by Johnson & Johnson baby powder has come home to the United States. Currently, there are over 1,200 lawsuits filed against Johnson & Johnson regarding ovarian cancer caused by the use of their baby powder and other products that contain talc. The first round in 2009 was a winner, although no damages were awarded. This second round was also a winner for the victim, Johnson & Johnson slammed with $72 million for killing a woman. I don't know about you, but that is NOT enough.
The worst part is, this toxic talc is still on shelves in stores in the United States. Johnson & Johnson is still promoting the use of toxic talc on their web site, without any warning to parents not to use on the genital area of baby girls because of the increased risk of the silent killer later in life, ovarian cancer. Literally getting parents to poison their own daughters with their usage instructions, "For baby, use after every bath and diaper change. For you, use anytime you want skin to feel soft, fresh, and comfortable." Wow. Just wow.
I seriously doubt our US Senate HELP Committee is going to act on this either. They are too busy profiting from the increased money made from increased ovarian cancer, somewhere around $200,000 each case. Wow. Just wow.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HERE: Johnson & Johnson Lost Talc Powder Lawsuits TWICE and Offered to BRIBE Victim New information on this developing situation as Johnson & Johnson lost TWO ovarian cancer trials, tried to bribe a victim and FDA in India gets involved and has Johnson & Johnson products tested for safety and compliance.

Equivalent charges have been leveled against Elon Musk, another appointee to the Trump's Strategic and Policy Forum and yet another guest at the Technology Summit. Methods to meet them are technology options, such as integrated suites, very best of breed systems, and platforms-and-apps. Some insurance coverage companies pay a set amount of cash per year for adaptive equipment or assistive technology. I have given these away as gifts for my household and close friends and I suggest you do the very same!
My beliefs do not match in a box because of my intrinsic motivation to know a lot more about what I speak about and think in. Technology has helped me form opinions but in the end I think it is the person's efforts combined with their desires to know that will type their ultimate belief program.

Technology has also become element of many curriculums, even outside of personal computer and technology classes.

It takes lots of planning for the perfect wedding. The stress of a wedding can build up, especially as the big day gets closer. With good planning though, you can have confidence that everything will all work out, even though there may only be a couple small things that go wrong. Below are a few tips to help you plan this huge event.
Religion will play a big role not only in your wedding ceremony but in your marriage as a whole. It is important to talk openly about religion not only with your future spouse but also with both families.
Consider getting married outside of wedding season. The traditional season for weddings is May to September. It is at this time that wedding venues will cost the most. To help ensure you are able to book the perfect venue, plan well in advance.
Practice your walk for your wedding day. Be sure that this is done where the wedding will take place so the floor can be tested along with the footwear. Your walk will flow more smoothly when your special day arrives.
A wedding dress is a big expense. When you are shopping, try getting a dress that might not be traditionally thought of as one made for a wedding. You might even consider whether a dress designed for bridesmaids could meet your needs. Even if you think you would like to change it in some way, it should be less expensive than if you bought a wedding dress.
You should try to create a wedding that is extremely personal by having elements which encompass you, your fiance, and the relationship between you two. Pick a theme that symbolizes the time you two have had together.
Going online to purchase your wedding dress can save you a small fortune. However, you should make sure that you order it well before the big day in order to allow time for any alterations to be carried out should they be needed. Keep in mind that sometimes the alterations will cost more than the gown itself. Keep in mind any additional costs, and include it in your budget.
Brides who have issues with skin irritation or pimples can improve the appearance of her skin by changing her skincare regimen. Seek facial treatment aids that are soothing to the skin such as creamy scrubs, sea salts, rose and oatmeal proteins.
Personalize the wedding so that it reflects your personalities, and that of your relationship. Pick a theme that relates to who you are as a couple!
Be sure the disc jockey you employ for your reception knows which songs you want and which sorts of songs you do not want. An old song from your past may no longer be a favorite. Make sure that you inform the man you are marrying too.
Only place a few flowers in the centerpieces at your reception tables. Often, flowers interfere with guests being able to converse across the table. Some people attending your wedding may have pollen allergies, as well. To give the tables a romantic look, consider using non-scented candles as a centerpiece.
Keep in mind all things when considering a venue for your receptions, like having adequate dance floor space. Nothing is as bad as getting crammed into a tight area like sardines when the guests around you are dancing, so clear out any furniture necessary to give space to those wanting to groove.
Make sure the photographer you hire for your wedding is experienced. You don't want a photographer who disappoints. It is smart to look online for user reviews of photographers or seek personal recommendations from those you trust.
For any stylish and fashion forward bride, there is always the option to add some flare to a bouquet with a splash of diamonds, rhinestones or Swarovski crystals. This can be achieved through heat-fixed crystals, adding a little piece of jewelry or even using an heirloom piece. Make sure that it will match everything else in your wedding outfit by remaining consistent with the colors you choose, the cut, and also the size of your stones.
A multi-tiered wedding cake can set you back well over a thousand dollars. You can save money by serving cupcakes, small tarts, or cake pops. Their affordability, convenience and versatility make these arrangements highly desirable. Guests can serve themselves or even take one home as a party favor of sorts.
Midday is your best bet for planning a wedding reception. Doing this, people will likely drink far less alcohol and keep your bar tab lighter. Lunch receptions are often cheaper and will allow you to use more money toward other needs for the wedding.
Destination Wedding
You'll want to be able to dim the lighting at the wedding reception. This may seem like it's trivial, having the option to lower your lighting during the first dance will be nice, and then you can brighten it for the remainder of your event. Before giving the venue the thumbs up and your money, ask them about this detail.
Invite the whole family to the honeymoon when you're planning a destination wedding. This saves people money based on hotel discounts for guests that stay longer, and it also helps maximize the fun. You can make your destination wedding a vacation for your friends and family as well.
Even if you've chosen and bought your wedding dress, think about keeping it at the shop until your special day. When you put it in your personal closet, it may get stained or wrinkled. Leave it where it is, and it will look perfect on your wedding.
A great gift for your guests at a destination wedding is a basket that you have delivered to their room full of vacation goodies. Include useful items like sunglasses, a hat, tourist map, pamphlets and a disposable camera. Furthermore, a Zagat guide or other culinary guide is useful for any gift basket of this theme!
A sweet treat between meal courses is a great way to keep your guests happy. Sugary roses that match the wedding theme and colors are ideal.
You can have a special relative or friend become ordained online so that they can perform your wedding vows. This gives your wedding ceremony a personal touch, while also saving you money as you now do not have to hire an officiant. However, be sure to check all the required legalities before you opt for this.
If the couple enjoys traveling, use decorative elements which convey a sense of wanderlust when planning the wedding. You could also send out invitations that look like postcards or boarding passes, for instance. Distinctive props can be used to hold items for the wedding guests to see.
Offer sweet treats between courses to keep your guests amused. Consider sugar roses which match the wedding colors.
If you are going to be giving a wedding speech, make sure that you practice and plan appropriately. If you don't plan and practice your wedding speech enough, you risk all sorts of bad outcomes, from losing your audience to totally bombing the speech with stuttering and confused expressions.
When young children are in the wedding party, make sure they are dressed in clothing that is comfortable for them. Stick to soft fabrics that fit just loosely enough to not cause discomfort. If the children are going to be wearing new shoes, make sure they are comfortable, and let them walk around in them a bit so that they can get broken in. This may seem like a small detail, but attention to this will let the children focus on their duties for the ceremony instead of being uncomfortable and paying more attention to their outfits.
Plan every wedding detail, from all the events you are having down to the food. Your plan should be to provide every guest with the best experience possible.
Get more from a wedding planner by researching wedding material before meeting them. It is always recommended that you take some time to design what you can call your wedding board. This will contain photos, colored fabrics and anything else you wish to incorporate into your big event. These will serve as a blueprint to tweak and change in order to make your wedding everything you hoped for. Incorporate pictures, songs, magazine clippings and other details that will help your wedding planning really understand your vision.
Instead of forking over cash for fanciful floral arrangements, consider relying on potted plants to add a touch of green to your ceremony site. There are a number of options for decorative pots, ranging from glazed ceramic to terracotta. Consider adding custom details, such as ribbons or decoupage. The guests will be able to take the plants home with them as wedding favors or the lovely couple can use them in their new yard.
Have flowers with a cohesive theme. You'll want to be sure things are bright, nice looking, and showstopping in the way of flowers to make your wedding a wistful and nostalgic one. These may include peonies in yellow or pink, bright daisies, and red poppies.
Hire a photographer that doesn't just snap pictures. When you interview your photographer, ask them how they think the day should progress. Question their process for shooting weddings. You want to understand their style to make sure it meshes with your own.
To help add depth to floral arrangements, incorporate flowers of different heights throughout your arrangements. Use long-stemmed flowers with tall vases. Then use shorter vases around the taller ones, filled with big flowers like peonies or hydrangeas. The tall flowers should be in dark colors, and the short flowers should be light.
To make your wedding unforgettable, plan some activities for your guests. Instead of your guests simply waiting for you to come down the aisle, plan a contest or a game for your guests to partake in while waiting for the wedding to begin. There are all kinds of things you can do, contests or fun, or try something like volleyball. The wedding will be memorable in proportion to the amount of fun.
Practice the first dance with your spouse-to-be while wearing clothes similar to what you'll wear at the wedding. Dancing with your spouse-to-be is romantic, and in addition it will help you get used to each others' clothes so you won't feel awkward on your wedding day. You may already be comfortable moving about in long skirts, but your fiance may not be. This will help him adjust to dancing with you in your dress and prevent any awkwardness, especially if your gown is particularly full at the bottom.
Before you approach a prospective bridesmaid, it's best to know which dresses you will expect them to wear. The choice of dress can often lead to disgruntlement between bride and bridesmaid. Look for something affordable, goes well with the theme and will suit the bridesmaids you choose. This will help ensure that they are truly happy on your big day.
The most important part of the wedding is the marriage, and that means the two people getting married should be very sure to marry the right person. For this reason, it is important to plan the wedding in the most harmonious manner and avoid any disputes. With any luck, your wedding will be a memorable affair that brings you nothing but joy.
When thinking about a videographer, be certain to see clips from prospective candidates, and do a lot of interviews. Remember that the editing and sound quality are especially important. People used to get great VHS tapes of a wedding, but these days you'll want a digital video or DVD that will last you quite a while. Use your intuition when choosing a videographer, because after all, they will be capturing your most memorable day.

BOCA RATON -- A public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday to discuss the merits of allowing a controversial club to operate without a liquor license restriction.
Heaven nightclub, a sore spot among neighbors who complain of late-night noise, will ask the City Council to free it from a requirement that the business earn at least half of its income from food sales.
In February, Heaven attorney Robert Eisen asked the city for an emergency ruling, saying the club could lose $44,000 it has already paid for a quota license that allows unrestricted liquor sales if the council does not drop the requirement. Instead, the council agreed to make a decision on Tuesday after hearing from the neighbors.

The marketing environment consists of all factors external to an organization that can affect organization's marketing activities. As the concept of global businesses increases, stress is laid on adapting to different marketing styles of different nations.
Malaysia, with a population of around 21.7 million forms a racial and culturally diverse nation in the Asia-Pacific region, presenting business opportunities to variety of organizations to expand their global base. Malaysia differs from the United States over the marketing environment the country offers on several factors. These differences occur over culture, political environment, economic environment, legal influences, and so on. These differences from those of United States are:
Culture: Malaysia is highly diverse country with several cultural groups such as the Malays, the Chinese, and the Indians as well as several sub-cultural groups. Despite the diversity, people are closely connected and live like a community. This multicultural rich society presents numerous opportunities to foreign business firms. The main languages in Malaysia are Malay, Chinese, English, and Tamil. However, as the country developed, major emphasis was laid on promoting English as the international business language. But the main language still remains Malay. So, in order to do business, a firm would need to have knowledge of both Malay and English. This presents a challenge to businesses that want to consider the country as an investment platform.
For successful marketing in Malaysia, a marketer must learn that Malaysians are ...

Stickies creates virtual Post-it notes that you can stick anywhere on your screen—a triumphant software answer to the thousands of people who stick notes on the edges of their actual monitors. This little program isn't quite as handy as the Stickies widget in Dashboard—you can't make it spring to your screen with a keystroke, for example. However, it's a lot more powerful.
You can use Stickies to type quick notes and to-do items, paste in Web addresses or phone numbers you need to remember, or store any other little scraps and snippets of text you come across. Your electronic Post-it Notes show up whenever the Stickies program is running (Figure 10-32).
Figure 10-32. In the old days of the Mac, the notes you created with Stickies were text-only, single-font deals. Today, however, you can use a mix of fonts, text colors, and styles within each note. You can even paste in graphics, sounds, and movies (like PICT, GIF, JPEG, QuickTime, AIFF, whole PDF files, and so on), creating the world's most elaborate reminders and to-do lists.

Panel: NO ACCESS: Young, Black and Positive
Sat Nov 18, 14:45
Panel, Hackney Showroom, Free
Partnering with BlackOut UK, PrEPster and The Love Bank to discuss the impact of healthcare inequality in London, the question of who gets to be on PrEP and what YOU can do to topple these institutional barriers.
with a screening of short documentary:
No Access: Young, Black, and Positive
dir. Adri Murguia / USA 2016 / 24'
Here in the UK there has been some good news in these dark days: Public Health England has announced a 21% decline in HIV in the UK. Accredited to good prevention campaigning, the increased prevalence of PrEP, testing and treatment, all thanks to the NHS. But although there are optimistic statistics, black gay men and trans people of colour continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV in the UK and around the globe.
In NO ACCESS: YOUNG, BLACK AND POSITIVE we visit Jackson, Mississippi, where up to 40% of black MSM are HIV positive and explore how racism, poverty and inequality contribute to these shocking statistics. In a country whose government believes healthcare is not a right, we see that prevention, treatment and support is far from God-given.
Panellists: Ramses Underhill-Smith, MD of Alternative Care Services; Anthony Hunte, Programme and Volunteer Manager, Spectra; Phil Samba, Writer and Activist.

Assaults on teachers and other school workers jumped 56 percent in Durham Public Schools last school year, according to the district.
The preliminary data shows there were 61 assaults on school personnel last school year, 22 more than the 39 reported during the 2015-16 school year.
"The increase in acts of assault on school personnel, although it concerns us, represents just a tenth of one percent of our entire student population," said Debbie Pitman, the district's assistant superintendent of student services.
"We are as committed as ever to implementing restorative justice, conflict resolution, and de-escalation strategies that can prevent incidents from occurring and keep our students in the classroom," she said. "However, we will not compromise on student, teacher, and staff safety."
Assaults are among the 16 criminal offenses school districts must report to the N.C. Department of Public Instruction (DPI) each year.
Overall, DPS saw a 17 percent increase of reportable offenses during the 2016-17 school year.
A state report showing reportable criminal offenses in each school district is released in the spring. DPS has shared its data early because of the Durham community's interest in school suspensions and the recent revamp of the district's Student Code of Conduct designed to reduce suspensions.
Bryan Proffitt, president of the Durham Association of Educators, said he hasn't heard teachers express concern about assaults.
But Proffitt said more children are coming to DPS from unstable home environments and require extra support from the district.
"As students come to our classrooms holding more and more trauma from poverty, deportations and violence in their own lives, they need more support than they ever have just to navigate their own emotions and mental and physical health," Proffitt said.
"At the same time, educators have fewer resources and more pressures than we've ever faced," he continued. "Those two factors together seem likely to produce increased conflict and it's one more way that the state legislature is putting educators and communities against each other when we are each others most natural allies."

Serious offenses
While the data for reportable offenses does not explain the thousands of suspensions that DPS principals handed out last year, it does put numbers behind some of the more serious offenses.
Possession of weapons increased 15.6 percent. There were 155 last school year, 21 more than the 134 reported the previous year.
Possession of alcoholic beverages increased 72 percent. There were 38 last school year, 16 more than the 22 reported the previous year.
Meanwhile, there was 175 reported incidents of possession of a controlled substance last year, one more than the 174 reported during the previous year.
Pitman said the top four reportable offense for DPS mirror those in other North Carolina school districts.
DPS has reported that short-term suspensions, those lasting 10 days or less, jumped 42 percent last school year when compared to the 2015-16 school year.
The top five reasons listed for short-term suspensions were fighting/physical aggression, non-compliance with directives (middle schools and high schools), serious disruptive behavior (elementary schools), serious disruptive behavior (middle schools and high schools) and non-compliance with directives (elementary schools).
Long-term suspensions, those lasting 10 or more days, jumped 33 percent, with 88 long-term suspensions being handed down last school year compared to 66 the previous year.
The top five reasons for long-term suspensions were assaults, possession of weapons, fighting/physical aggression, assault on school personnel and threat/false threat.
Task force
A 47-member task force co-chaired by Superior Court Judge Elaine O'Neal and Elizabeth Shearer, DPS' executive director of student support services, worked on revisions to the code for a year to give principals more alternatives to suspensions.
But suspensions have increased at many schools even though the revised code no longer mandates them for offenses such as plagiarism, dress-code violations, minor disruptive behavior or possession of cell phones or tablets such as iPads
Shearer told The Herald-Sun last month that behavior issues are often related to mental health and trauma students have experienced away from school.
"Mental health is a huge issue," Shearer said. "To bring that with them, they exhibit behaviors that are inappropriate, unacceptable, not safe, but they are the results of some very significant events and experiences in their lives. The mental health is huge."
School board member Xavier Cason, a retired teacher, called the increase in assaults on teachers and others"significant" and said such incidents cannot be tolerated by principals.
Cason said it will take more time for the changes to the Code of Student Conduct to help lower suspensions because a culture transformation must take place in some schools.
"Those things [assaults on teachers and other school workers] don't happen when the relationships are working," Cason said.
In the meantime, Cason said the district must work harder to reduce teacher and principal turnover.
"One of the biggest things is having less turnover in leadership and in classrooms," Cason said. "A consistent staff has a better chance at creating a consistent culture in schools."

More about suspensions

After the way they started the season, it's hard to believe that Cincinnati is facing an important battle for the AFC North crown in Week 7. With a win in Pittsburgh this Sunday, Cincinnati, Baltimore and Pittsburgh would all sit at three losses (the Steelers, at 4-3 without having hit their bye yet, would still hold the lead).
The Bengals have a shot to assert themselves as a contender in the AFC with a strong performance this afternoon, in a 4:25pm EST time slot, on the road against their biggest division competitor. It's not a must-win game by any stretch, but there's a lot on the table for Cincinnati to take.

Notes on the latest in Titans news
Ranking the 10 biggest injuries of the 2017 NFL season (so far)
Injury Outlook
Cincinnati: Tyler Boyd (Out), Ryan Hewitt (Out), Adam Jones (Doubtful), John Ross (Questionable), Derron Smith (Questionable)
Not a lot here that should be particularly impactful on Sunday's game, but a few interesting notes regardless. Mostly the possibility that John Ross could return to the field for the first time since Ken Zampese coordinated the Bengals' offense. Whether he actually plays remains to be seen, let alone how he plays or how much he plays, but it's interesting to wonder what lies on the other side of that door.
The others names aren't nearly so. Adam Jones, the highest-profile name on this list, is no longer significantly ahead of the other corners on this roster. That doesn't mean he's bad now, just that his absence shouldn't be strongly felt, as with the other three names here.
Pittsburgh: Stephon Tuitt (Out), Marcus Gilbert (Doubtful)
Two players, both starters, with questionable availability for the Steelers. Tuitt has been strong this season across the defensive line from Cameron Heyward. Gilbert has been among the league's best right tackles for multiple seasons. Their backups — Tyson Alualu and Chris Hubbard — are good enough veterans. The units shouldn't suffer terribly in theory, but there's at least weaker points available if the Bengals can exploit them.
Bengals Offense
Bad news: Pittsburgh heads into Week 7 with the league's third-best total defense, and the first-ranked passing defense. They've played Cleveland, Minnesota, Chicago, Baltimore, Jacksonville and Kansas City this season, only allowing Chicago to score more than 20 points.
There's a chicken-and-egg question here, to be fair. Of those six teams: Kansas City's passing attack is largely set up off of run action (which Pittsburgh shut down), Minnesota was fielding Case Keenum at quarterback, and Cleveland is the only one of the other teams to average over 200 passing yards per game. Cincinnati has arguably the best aerial attack that Pittsburgh has faced this season, and the best wide receiver they'll have faced in A.J. Green (due respect to Tyreek Hill and Stefon Diggs, 2017 Green's been a different beast).
Unfortunately, the Bengals' uninspiring running game in 2017 significantly dampers their chances. Pittsburgh's losses to Chicago and Jacksonville had a lot to do with being gouged by Jordan Howard, Tarik Cohen, and Leonard Fournette, and as little as possible to do with anything resembling a professional passing game. Cincinnati has yet to win a game in that fashion, and it's hard to imagine they suddenly will with Joe Mixon's meager production and the team's well-documented line deficiencies.
Bengals Defense
Where Pittsburgh has the league's third and first in total and passing defense, respectively, Cincinnati ranks second in both categories. The same question regarding Pittsburgh's opponents could be used in reference to Cincinnati's, but it would still be surprising to see this turn out to be a high-scoring game.
The biggest question about this phase of the game is how well the Bengals can contain Le'Veon Bell, who's gained 470 yards from scrimmage on 99 touches in the past three games. After holding out through much of the offseason and starting the season with average production, Bell has come on as the workhorse for the Steelers' offense to carry them through despite Ben Roethlisberger's usual level of play not manifesting.
Another thing Chicago and Jacksonville have in common: top-tier talent in the front seven that can shut down opposing rushing attacks. Cincinnati has the ability to play to that level, even if their rushing defense has only ranked 19th in the league. Winning the turnover battle to the degree Jacksonville did would be nice, but that outing hardly seems replicable by any team.
Score Prediction
Bengals 20, Steelers 23
The Bengals are a good enough team to split with Pittsburgh, and having a bye week to prepare should be a significant advantage, but those things don't always come through consistently. Regardless of victor, this should be a close, defensively-dominated game — the final scores probably won't be more than 10 apart or over 50 combined.
Of course, a few plays either way for Antonio Brown could singlehandedly throw that, and Martavis Bryant may grind his personal axe in this game after he had to deny asking for a trade due to his offensive role.
Perhaps the Bengals have Ross established as a threat in this offense by their next match, but it would be dangerous to bet on a lot from him in this one. If he were already there, this prediction would likely swing the other way — the margin simply isn't that big.

Current Weight: 323 lbs
Total Loss: 26 lbs
Avg. Loss/Week: 4.3 lbs
- Body Weight %age: 7%
My wedding rings are starting to slip back on more easily than before and the Bermuda shorts I was talking about last week? Well I wore them to the farmer's market with Jordan on Saturday.
Last week I promised a list of reasons I want to try to get to a healthier weight so here it is:
- So I can cross my legs knee over knee like I've longed to as far back as I can remember
- So I don't have to start every dress search for "at or below the knee"
- So my wedding rings don't cut into my fingers leaving red welts
- So my bust can extend out farther than my tummy again
- So a world of store options open up to me
- So I don't have to worry about fitting in theater seats/chairs with arms
- So I can buckle the airplane seatbelt without an extender
- One word: shorts
- So my size 11 shoes fit me better (or at all)
- So necklaces will fit comfortably around my neck
- So I can see my toes when I look down
- So I can buy cute workout clothes (not from Old Navy or Lane Bryant)
- So I can stand up without having to pull down my shirt
- So I can sit on my husband's lap in that cute way girls do
- So my cankles can look like ankles
- So I don't have to worry about makeup contouring as much
- So I can lie side-by-side on the couch with my hubs
- So I can cut all my hair off if I want (looks better with a jawline)
- So I can talk to people both while I'm climbing stairs and once I'm up at the top of them
- So I can continuously play with kids without taking breaks
- So I don't feel the need to poke fun at myself before someone else does (a trick you learn early when you've always been big)
- So my husband can pick me up someday and carry me to bed
- So I can confidently take on adventure (kayaking, hiking, jogging) fearlessly
- So my wardrobe can consist of clothes I can actually wear (not "fat" and "skinny" clothes)
- So I can be lighter on my feet when I dance (and I LOVE to dance!)
- So I learn to eat when I'm actually hungry and not "just because;" it makes food taste WAY better
- So I can wear my mother's rings (ranging sizes 6–8)
- So I can wrap the towel around me (not a bath sheet)
- So my 2XL robe Jordan bought me for Christmas can reach around me and not gape in the middle
- So I can fit back into my "dating Jordan" clothes
- So I don't have to tug self-consciously at my shirt hoping it will hide my tummy better
- So I can have access to my entire stash of size 24 and 22 jeans and pants in my closet
- So that when I do yoga, my inflexibility stops me, not my own mass
- So I can get better at cycling and go fun places with my hubs
- So I can cross my arms across my chest fully
- So healthy meals can become a habit and not a culinary rarity
- So Jordan and my tummies aren't the very first thing that meet when we hug
- So that I can wake up in the morning and feel proud of what I see in the mirror
- So I could wear tights in the winter and be more comfortable in them
- So indulgent foods can taste even more amazing if they're not a regular part of my diet
- So I don't feel that anxious, gotta-have-it-and-all-of-it feeling when I'm eating something good
- So I can feel strong and able, not slow and sluggish
- So I can shop at Victoria's Secret (her secret is none of her sizes fit big girls)
- So I can end days feeling happy not guilty about what I ate or the exercise I didn't do
- So other people aren't always having to scoot in their chairs or stand up if I need to get by
- So when people who haven't seen me in a long while can be pleasantly surprised
- So I can become healthier than Jordan has ever seen me in my knowing him
- So I can weigh as much as I say I do on my license (could be a while...)
- So my phone exercise band can fit around my bicep and not my forearm
- Because if I'm going to die young of some shitty disease like the women in my family tend to do, it won't be because I'm obese
Some of these are really unflattering but I'm sharing them because if you've ever related to even one of them I want you to know you're not alone.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - Artists throughout Region 8 were able to present their talents in front of professionals Sunday.
The Congressional Art Competition was held in Jonesboro and whoever won first would get their art showcased at the US Capitol.
Congressman Rick Crawford held the event today at the Joey Glaub Photography Studio and he feels everyone should consider participating in it.
"It's just a lot of fun, it's a good experience for the kids and we sure do appreciate it", says Crawford.
Meagan Johnson is a 9th grader and was really happy when she placed first in the contest.
She agrees with the Congressman and says, "It's a great opportunity and I would do it if you are interested in arts so it's really fun".
If you were not able to attend the event there is always next year.
"What I hope is that folks will remember that this is an annual deal, we want as much as we can get and it really is the more the merrier", Crawford says.
You didn't have to place in the contest to receive recognition. Everyone who participated in the contest, were recognized at the event.

Direct: 416 436-3203
After the death of his mother, Bernard sought admission into the Cistercian order. "Three years later, he was sent to found a new abbey at an isolated clearing in a glen known as the Val d'Absinthe, about 15 km southeast of Bar-sur-Aube. According to tradition, Bernard founded the monastery on 25 June 1115, naming it Claire Vallée, which evolved into Clairvaux. There Bernard would preach an immediate faith, in which the intercessor was the Virgin Mary." In the year 1128, Bernard assisted at the Council of Troyes, at which he traced the outlines of the Rule of the Knights Templar, who soon became the ideal of Christian nobility.
On the death of Pope Honorius II on 13 February 1130, a schism broke out in the Church. Louis VI of France convened a national council of the French bishops at Étampes in 1130, and Bernard was chosen to judge between the rivals for pope. After the council of Étampes, Bernard went to speak with the King of England, Henry I, also known as Henry Beauclerc, about the king's reservations regarding Pope Innocent II. Beauclerc was sceptical because most of the bishops of England supported Anacletus II; Bernard convinced him to support Innocent. Germany had decided to support Innocent through Norbert of Xanten, who was a friend of Bernard's. However, Innocent insisted on Bernard's company when he met with Lothair III of Germany. Lothair became Innocent's strongest ally among the nobility. Despite the councils of Étampes, Wurzburg, Clermont, and Rheims all supporting Innocent, there were still large portions of the Christian world supporting Anacletus. At the end of 1131, the kingdoms of France, England, Germany, Castile, and Aragon supported Innocent; however, most of Italy, southern France, and Sicily, with the patriarchs of Constantinople, Antioch, and Jerusalem, supported Anacletus. Bernard set out to convince these other regions to rally behind Innocent. The first person whom he went to was Gerard of Angoulême. He proceeded to write a letter known as Letter 126, which questioned Gerard's reasons for supporting Anacletus. Bernard would later comment that Gerard was his most formidable opponent during the whole schism. After convincing Gerard, Bernard traveled to visit William X, Duke of Aquitaine. He was the hardest for Bernard to convince. He did not pledge allegiance to Innocent until 1135. After that, Bernard spent most of his time in Italy convincing the Italians to pledge allegiance to Innocent. He traveled to Sicily in 1137 to convince the king of Sicily to follow Innocent. The whole conflict ended when Anacletus died on 25 January 1138. In 1139, Bernard assisted at the Second Council of the Lateran. Bernard denounced the teachings of Peter Abelard to the pope, who called a council at Sens in 1141 to settle the matter. Bernard soon saw one of his disciples elected as Pope Eugenius III. Having previously helped end the schism within the church, Bernard was now called upon to combat heresy. In June 1145, Bernard traveled in southern France and his preaching there helped strengthen support against heresy.
Following the Christian defeat at the Siege of Edessa, the pope commissioned Bernard to preach the Second Crusade. The last years of Bernard's life were saddened by the failure of the crusaders, the entire responsibility for which was thrown upon him. Bernard died at age 63, after 40 years spent in the cloister. He was the first Cistercian placed on the calendar of saints, and was canonized by Pope Alexander III on 18 January 1174. In 1830 Pope Pius VIII bestowed upon Bernard the title "Doctor of the Church".

Oscar Pistorius vomits at murder trial
March 14 , 2014
Oscar Pistorius threw up once again during his murder trail when things got graphic. Photographs of Reeva Steenkamp after she was shot resulted in the vomiting this time and police commander Schoombie van Rensburg explained the situation at the athlete's residence following Steenkamp's death.
He stated that "the body was covered with towels and black bags" and Pistorius "was very emotional at that stage, and then I asked him what happened. He didn't answer. He was in tears."
Reports suggest that Pistorius contacted the daughter of the property manager and asked for help taking Steenkamp to the hospital and they used towels and bags to try and stop the bleeding.

Dark Heresy: Purge the Unclean- sessions 2 and 3Writing blogs is hard! Anyway, a round up of the last two sessions, as I forgot about the last one. The acolytes, having been fully prepared, headed to Lady Borella's party. After spending an excruciating amount of time talking to some npc s of little note, they managed to accomplish their main objectives of obtaining an invite to the Alabaster court, as well as learning more about the drug facrosia. They also were suspicious of Malene Trun, a middle hiver at the party, and Siprit Daneen, a curious gentleman who appeared to be investigating the choir himself.
The next day the acolytes went to meet Orday, who had turned up with the data- only to be shot down by a tech heretic of some sort, who left with some rapidity. The players attempted to pursue, but were set upon by several hired thugs who delayed them enough for the assailant to escape.
They did, however, manage to capture and interrogate one of the thugs. He knew very little, merely that he was a member of an organisation called Pressure point, and he worked for hire.
The next day some investigation was carried out at Pressure point, but thats to a rather inept line of attack, little was discovered. More was found by talking to Laurent Strophes, who knew a little bit about it- a contract mercenary house of some sort.
Enoch attempted to find out more about Malene Trun, but discovered fairly little, other than her being mostly well liked. Sadly the scary psyker failed to charm the middle hiver....
Meanwhile Mordecai had a mission of his own. He found an adeptus mechanicus outpost, where he met with technomancer Lagos, who agreed to help fix his mechandrite for free... provided the tech priest was willing to further the cause of machine god. Initially his mission would be merely to protect and attempt to deliver any tech found during his missions, but should Mordecai find himself in the Inquisition's favour... well then things might be different.
Their business concluded, the party went to the alabaster court. There they witnessed first hand a brutal incident of "spurring", which resulted in the death of an underhiver. Taking offence to this, Ravion ended up being challenged to a duel, which he won, but losing control of himself, caused a far more deadly wound than he might have intended. While this occurred, Trantor and Stilgar scouted the facilites. They didn't find anything particular, but did manage to confirm that farcosia probably wasn't being produced at that location.
The party proceeded uneventfully, until about an hour before midnight when the assailant before appeared, heavily robed to hide his modifications. Seeing this the party attempted to listen in on the conversation, but upon seeing them Theodosia pulled away in shock and began to speak angrily at Shoal. Shoal then let slip that there was something important located on Ambulon. Enraged, Theodosia pulled Shoal away from the party.
Both sessions went pretty well. The latter had much less progress than expected- the party had several good ideas about where to investigate which weren't really covered in the book. Some of these were false leads- they tried to track Orday, but realistically there was no way for them to find out anything. Other routes may have been more succesful, but blunders meant nothing was found. I was a little disappointed that the party failed to find anything particular at the Alabaster court. It wasn't vital, but it would have added to what they've already worked out and probably confirm most of their suspicions.
I enjoyed Mordecai's deal with the adeptus mechanicus, in character and enjoyable stuff, I shall have to flesh out Logos a little more, as he shall definitely play more of a part if this campaign goes on.
Rejoice is actually going at quite a fast pace- if this session had gone a bit faster we would have been done in 4, but as it is I'm pretty sure 5 sessions will do it, which is good.

Recap & Top Ten 30 for 30 Tips
51 comments
i thought I remembered you saying something about doing 30 for 30 in January... I'm thinking about linking up! But I might be too chicken... :)ReplyDelete
lynette marieReplies
I'm like Santa, your name's on my list and come January I'm gonna be peer pressuring the heck out of you. So not at all like Santa, just a crazy girl with a list :)Delete
I've always thought 30 for 30 was so cool! All of your outfits are classic looks with a unique twist that is always so interesting. I would love to try for January, but I might punk out!ReplyDelete
Maya F
Don't punk out, I know you can do it! It'll be so much fun I promise.Delete
Great tips! You are totally right, some outfits turn out great when you don't expect it and others are "poop salad." You sooooo crack me up! Where have you been my whole blogging life???ReplyDelete
Also, I'm totally in for a 30x30 in January. I'm up for the challenge and the fun too :)
YAY! I'm so happy!!! You're gonna have so much fun and I'm 100% there won't be any poop salad in sight ;)Delete
I love these outfits! I think you did a great job styling all this. Where did you get all those bright colored skirts?ReplyDeleteReplies
They're mostly J.Crew, but I find almost all of them on eBay! If you know your size and you're willing to do a little stalking you can get them for under $50 a lot of the time, which I think is good.Delete
This is amazing!!! What fabulous looks, xoxReplyDelete
Thank you so much! It was a ton of fun.Delete

I'd love a 30x30 link up! But I feel like I wouldn't really be able to truly do it because of the whole wearing a suit in court thing. I'd def participate on days I don't have to go to court though!ReplyDeleteReplies
I think you could so do it with suits! It'd be awesome.Delete
I would love a 30x30 link up too! Maybe it would help make me brave enough to actually try doing it :) Loved seeing all your cute outfits!ReplyDelete
Ohhh giiiirrrl now I'll be coming after you in January :) If I can do it I promise you can.Delete

XO, Gina
Girl you're too sweet. Methinks you should join me next time... ;)Delete
I am totes all over a 30 for 30 support group! You KILLED this challenge lady, and now I need to run out and get colorful pencil skirts so I can be cute like YOU!!ReplyDelete
Uhhh killing it? Let's talk about another certain 30for30er who kicked ass... ohhhh wait it's you. Next support group meeting is January 1st!!Delete
I love all your outfits! My favorites are the one with the red blazer and black pants (#9?) and the 2nd one on the bottom row :)ReplyDelete
I did two 30 for 30 challenges almost two years ago (one winter, one summer) and I've got to say, the winter one was a lot more fun than the summer one because of the layering. It's harder to be creative in the summer! I don't know if I'd ever want to do one again because though, even though it DID make getting dressed easy. I think I just hated having to take photos everyday :)Replies
Taking pictures every day was for sure the hardest part - which is why it took me way more than 30 days, because some weekends I was just NOT having it. I agree though, the summer one would be super hard.Delete
Wow, this is really impressive that you put together so many great outfits! I feel like I would get to day 4 and give up. =P Great job sticking to it!!ReplyDelete
Avec AmberReplies
No way girl! You'll get to day 4 and realize... holy crap, I could get dressed for three months with this stuff! It's so crazy.Delete
this is super impressive I don't think I'd ever be able to do it!ReplyDelete
xo Jackie
I bet you a dollar you could ;) You should try it!Delete
- AnonymousDecember 7, 2012 at 1:15 AM
So many great outfits! I love the colored pencil skirts... I tend to stick to neutrals and need to add one of those to my closet. Have a great day!ReplyDeleteReplies
Gray and tan and white are like my favorite clothes colors. Add some brights in there, if you're anything like me you already have a bazillion neutrals to wear with them, which is a bonus!Delete
Sam, I might consider doing this in February 28x28 -2 days less to beat my brain what to wear :-DReplyDelete
But I really need this app that comes with the cake, you know what I am talking about, huh? ;-) hahahahahaha
My favourite is the leather pants with the plaid shirt and the fur... We would call it glamourisish in my universe :-D
2nd price goes to the black and white pattern dress with the red blazer, so my style :-)
BUT you rocked all those 30 outfits so sassy nuggetly :-)
WUNDERBAR (wonderful)
I'll get you the cake if you play along with us in January :) YOU CAN DO THREE EXTRA DAYS FOR CAKE. Can you imagine how awful cake would taste if I mailed it from here to Germany? Maaaaaybe you should just move to the states. You'll have boyfriend, cake, and me. What more could a girl ask for? :PDelete
I love these tips! I'm totally trying to get used to wearing the same thing twice in one week. If it's layered, no one will even know!ReplyDelete
I thought I would feel so weird but it was normal, which makes me think I've been weird for NOT doing it. Seriously.Delete
Such a great recap and well done on making it through the 30 days in serious style! I was looking at the photos and trying to pick a favorite, but couldn't! :)ReplyDelete
And I love your tips too. Especially the one about wearing the same piece back-to-back. I do it all the time and haven't spontaneously combusted (yet!)

Congrats on the 30x30...it is great to see all of the outfits in a single shot.ReplyDelete
I'm still on the fence about trying this - I know that my organizational skills are on point...but my creativity may be lacking.
Maybe a mini-session in December to see if I'm ready for the full challenge in January -
I loved your outfits; You are so creative! I have always wanted to try 30x30 but have been too much of a chicken I guess. I will definitely do 30x30 in January, it sounds like a lot of fun. Lets link up :)ReplyDeleteReplies
FOR SURE. Keep an eye out later in the month. So happy you'll join!!Delete

I'm in! I am probably going to bend the hell out of those "guidelines" though... ;))) Not one for rules, but I'm definitely up for a challenge!ReplyDelete
Great job on your 30 x 30 - you totally rocked it and I learned alot along the way.
YAY!!! I don't care about rules, it's the thought that count! plus it's like insane fun, so I can't even imagine how much fun it'll be to do it with a bunch of people.Delete
I've often thought about doing this, but I worry I wouldn't do very well, since most of my wardrobe is made up of dresses! I see you used mainly skirts - do you think that's a better way to go than loads of dresses?ReplyDelete
I think you could do either, you'd just have to be better than I am at remixing dresses! Shirts under them shirts over them, skirts over them to wear them as tops, sweaters and boots and tights with them... you could do it for sure.Delete
SO doing this for the month of January! I am not one for too much color (I tend to stick with mostly neutrals) so mine might be a bit more boring but I still can't wait to start this fashion challenge :) I will be doing my 30x30 on my blog, which can be found @ http://wearablefunfashion.blogspot.com/ReplyDelete
Also, question! Did you include shoes & accessories in your list of 30 items? This is pretty essential info hehe ;)

Instead, the unsealed records revealed that the family signed a document stating that the family actually had no health problems that could be attributed to drilling operations, that they received $750,000, and now, in the final document, that the family continues to receive royalty payments on the property that they have cleared out from.
From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
The 17-page settlement agreement also includes the Hallowiches' previously reported payoff of $750,000, and notes they will continue to receive
oiland gas royaltiesunder the terms of a lease agreement entered into by the previous owners of their farm.
It prohibits them from objecting to any drilling under any new property or residence they may own, and details the lifetime nondisclosure and nondisparagement clauses preventing them from speaking publicly about the settlement or protesting or challenging any gas development activity or lease by the operators. The operators also agreed not to disclose the terms of the settlement nor to disparage the Hallowiches.
Before signing the agreement in August 2011, Stephanie Hallowich and her husband, Chris, had been vocal critics of the shale gas development that surrounded their 10-acre farm in Mount Pleasant, Washington County.
The settlement agreement states the companies denied their shale gas development activities caused any health problems, and Matt Pitzarella, a Range spokesman, has repeated that position in recent weeks when the Hallowich case has been in the news.
Read the whole article here."We are pleased that the public now has access to this information, which clearly demonstrates that there [are] absolutely no health, environmental or safety impacts from gas development," Mr. Pitzarella said in an emailed statement.The settlement included an admission by the family that it suffered no environmental, health or safety impact from drilling adjacent to their property.
And here is the last bit of unsealed records:

I'm wondering if Niantic did any sort of usability analysis themselves during the beta-period, considering some of the very basic issues you've touched upon.

As an addition to your list, I also think that the way pokemon at gyms are assigned is poor. After you defeat a gym, it takes you outside of it, & the gym is now grey - which means it has no allegiance & anyone can claim it as theirs. However, this has caused many people to lose control of a gym they defeated to people sniping it. This also happens frequently due to app crashes.

Ex: I, a Red player, defeat a Blue gym. I am taken outside to a "you won!" screen. In the time it takes me to exit out of that screen & reload the gym in order to place one of my own pokemon in it, a Yellow player has already done so, meaning my work as a Red player is nullified.

My proposal is that after defeating a gym, the player who defeated the pokemon is given the option immediately after to place a pokemon at the gym, which then returns that pokemon to full health (as a reward for winning.) Either that, or I can heal in that same screen & place it there. During the time period I'm given this option, no one else can claim the gym. However, I can still exit the screen should I choose not to place a pokemon there. This would make much more sense in my opinion.Meg Greenhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656111516959276084.post-26021573885424308742016-02-29T10:14:11.934-05:002016-02-29T10:14:11.934-05:00Wow, awesome information!

I'm Alon Karmi, Subaltern's UI designer. Thanks for writing the article and bringing us some interesting points to think about and a new perspective on the game's UI.

My main inspiration for the UI was games like Endless Space and Civilization, hence the placement of UI elements around the edges of the screen. After the Alpha release, we have realized this was a mistake, and we're now taking measures to make the UI more conventional.

Again, thanks for your article, and we're glad you liked the game!Alon Karmihttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2656111516959276084.post-49755248122075027022015-06-30T18:58:10.346-04:002015-06-30T18:58:10.346-04:00Thank you for your thorough review and feedback, K...Thank you for your thorough review and feedback, Kelsey.Brian Rosehttps://email@example.com

Iggy Azalea poses backstage while attending the 2014 Y100 Jingle Ball concert at the BB&T Center on Sunday (December 21) in Miami, Fla.
The 24-year-old rapper was joined on stage by her collaborator Charli XCX to perform their hit song "Fancy" and more. Iggy was seen at the airport in Ft. Lauderdale earlier in the day.
Iggy is facing some major threats from hackers who are threatening to release her alleged sex tape unless she apologizes to Azealia Banks, who she is in a feud with.
"@IGGYAZALEA, you have exactly 48 hours from now to release a statement apologizing to @AzealiaBanks and the protesters in NYC…" the now deleted tweets from @TheAnonMessage read. "You are guilty of misappropriating black culture, insulting peaceful protesters, and making light of Eric Garner's death…There's an X rated tape of you, we bet you'd certainly don't want public, are we right? @IGGYAZALEA….and this is nothing. Comply or else."
FYI: Iggy is carrying an Elizabeth and James sling at the airport.
Make sure to read the latest in Iggy and Azealia's very public feud.

APPLE VALLEY � Detectives seized 90 marijuana plants, more than 30 pounds of processed pot and an AK-47 assault rifle from a property in unincorporated Apple Valley, authorities said Friday.
At noon on Thursday, detectives from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Marijuana Eradication Team served a search warrant at a single-family home in the 25800 block of Desert View Road. They found an outdoor marijuana cultivation on the 1-acre property, with the grow taking up a 100-foot by 50-foot area at the rear of the yard.
The cultivation was concealed in an area enclosed with a fence made of plywood sheeting measuring 8 feet tall. The top of the enclosure was covered with landscape netting, in a type of cultivation referred to as a "plywood grow."
Several suspects were identified but no arrests were made, authorities said. Reports will be submitted to the District Attorney's Office for review of criminal charges for cultivation, sheriff's officials said.
Anyone with information on the incident is urged to contact the Sheriff's Narcotics Division at (909) 890-4840. Callers wishing to remain anonymous are urged to call the WeTip Hotline at (800) 78-CRIME or leave information on the WeTip Hotline at www.WeTip.com.
The bust was the latest in a string of operations targeting local marijuana grows, with dozens arrested and large quantities of marijuana seized recently from properties in Helendale, Lucerne Valley and Newberry Springs.

Hi all!!!
Today was the day I had to run a HM in training. The forecast was for light rain when I checked last night but when I got up it was fairly heavy. I woke up early so I could have breakfast at 6am and leave home at 8am.
I got my dates de-seeded and broken in half so they would be easy to munch on when running. I was considering running without my Gore windstopper running jacket, but the rain kept coming so I decided to wear it for the first time.
My aim was to attempt to run in less than 2 hours but I wasn't sure how the weather would affect me, this was the first time I has run a longer run in these conditions. The first few kms were a bit difficult because my body hadn't warmed and loosened up. But I knew that I needed an average pace of 5:40 per km or faster to run sub 2 hours so I made sure I kept to this pace.
I followed JJ's advice and broke the run into smaller chunks. I set my Garmin up to show me how long was left in the current km and what my average pace within that km was. This allowed me to focus on sticking to my aim in smaller chunks and worked very well.
The rain probably made me run faster than I was initially aiming for because whenever I slowed a little I felt cold so I sped up a bit to stay warm.
There were massive puddles everywhere and I tried to avoid them but I stepped into a few massive ones and soaked my feet. The largest one was when I was crossing the A12 and realised that there was a mini lake covering half the road, my options were to either run in the road into traffic and run around the lake or wade through it, I thought getting wet feet was better than getting hit by a car!
I ate a date after about 45 minutes and then ate 2 more before I finished, they really help in giving an energy boost.
I found the pace comfortable until I got to the last 2.5km and then found it a but more difficult, but I was near the end then so I was able to keep the pace up to the end.
Per the Garmin a was not running for a total on 1 min, which was when I was waiting to cross roads, so I think it is realistic to run within 1:55 when I run my HM in 2 weeks time.
The photo is me when I got home, I was soaked through because I opened the jacket zip slightly because I was getting hot in the last 5km!
Here is a link to my run:

Heather Scavone recognized for exemplary civic engagement and social responsibility
Elon Law Professor Heather Scavone, director of the law school's Humanitarian Immigration Law Clinic, is the 2015 recipient of Elon University's Periclean Award for Civic Engagement and Social Responsibility.
The Periclean Award for Civic Engagement and Social Responsibility, along with Periclean Scholars and Service Sabbatical programs at Elon University, responds to the vision of Eugene M. Lang and the Eugene M. Lang Foundation to advance the level of civic engagement and social responsibility of the entire campus community. The Periclean Award honors those who provide exemplary role models for both students and for other faculty and staff.
Tim Peeples, associate provost for faculty affairs, presented the award to Scavone at Elon University's annual faculty-staff awards luncheon, saying that Elon and the broader community greatly benefit from her dedication to service.
"This year's recipient of the Periclean Award for Civic Engagement and Social Responsibility is a deeply committed public interest lawyer who has devoted her life to advocacy on behalf of refugees and asylum seekers," Peeples said. "She is an outstanding teacher who cultivates in her students the desire to increase access to justice for the most vulnerable members of society."
Personally and professionally, Heather Scavone, assistant professor of law and director of Elon Law's Humanitarian Immigration Law Clinic, embodies the values of civic engagement and social responsibility.
Prior to joining Elon, Scavone directed the statewide Immigration Legal Services program of Lutheran Family Services (LSF) in the Carolinas, which provided representation to hundreds of refugees and those seeking political asylum. When LSF announced plans to eliminate programs in the Triad, Scavone approached the university about adding the clinic to meet an overwhelming community need and to further the professional development of Elon Law students.
Since the clinic opened in 2010, more than 1,600 refugees and asylum seekers have been served under Scavone's leadership, and it is one of North Carolina's most prolific nonprofit immigration legal services providers.
"Through the inception of the of the Humanitarian Immigration Law Clinic, Elon was able to successfully dovetail the mutual goals of legal skills development and community service into a clinical program that simultaneously broadens the global perspective of law students, increases their post-graduation employment prospects, and serves the community," a colleague says.
Scavone says that Elon students who serve in the clinic benefit from "a perspective shift that is informed by their clients' suffering." Through the work at the clinic, students learn empathy towards others, and the experience creates in many of them desire to practice public interest law.
In addition to the clinic and the classroom, Scavone's commitment to civic engagement and social responsibility is clear. "Only a few weeks ago during March 2015, Scavone led a group of six law students on an alternative Spring Break trip to represent immigrant women and children detained in a South Texas immigration detention center. The trip, which was envisioned and proposed by the students, was funded exclusively through the fundraising efforts of Scavone and her students," a colleague says. She has since shed light on the obstructions to due process she encountered at this detention center, in interviews on National Public Radio programs "The State of Things" (WUNC) and "Charlotte Talks" (WFAE).
Scavone is the board chair of the New Arrivals Institute, a regional nonprofit that assists refugees. For the past four years, she has organized an immigration law seminar to increase opportunities for public interest lawyers, including Elon alumni, to receive immigration legal training. She has worked one-on-one with students to identify professional development opportunities during and after law school, and she has proposed and received approval for an interdisciplinary service-learning study abroad opportunity titled, "Ethiopia and Greensboro: Refugees and Human Rights."
Scavone is the 13th recipient of the Periclean Award for Civic Engagement and Social Responsibility. She received the award at Elon University's annual faculty-staff awards luncheon, where other faculty and staff were recognized for outstanding teaching, scholarship, service and mentoring.
