Laurie Sexton – Laurie is a very established and experienced administrative professional. For the past 18 years, she has worked for Randall & Roberts Funeral Homes. When she first began with the organization she focused more on providing customer service and working directly with the families. AS the company grew in size and added additional locations, the need for someone to focus full time on the administrative and organization needs became apparent. Laurie moved into this role. While she still does have some direct family contact and fills in when needed during various services her predominant responsibility is to handle the office needs of the company. A large piece of this is working with the owner and seven directors to manage the

Renee Heikamp, 19, and case worker from the Catholic Children’s Aid Society (CCAS), Angie Martin, were charged with criminal negligence resulting in the 1997 death of newborn baby, Jordan Heikamp. The charges were dropped shortly after Jordan’s death, due to a lack of evidence from the investigation of a 63-day inquest. (CBC, 2001). Renee Heikamp and her baby were residing at the Anduhyaun shelter that services Aboriginal women fleeing abuse during the time of his death. Jordan Heikamp had starved to death, weighing only 4 pounds, 4 ounces less than what he weighed at his pre-mature birth, in May 1997; a photograph shown to witnesses at the inquest revealed the corpse of the baby who was little more than a skeleton.
For this assignment, we learned that Maurice Clarett filed a case against the NFL where he argued that the NFL’s three-year rule acted as an unreasonable restraint in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Act. On the other hand, the NFL argued that its three-year rule was covered from the antitrust laws by the nonstatutory labor exemption. First, the case was reviewed by the district court which concluded that the NFL's eligibility rules violated antitrust laws by requiring the player to wait at least three years before entering the NFL draft and that the eligibility criteria was not immune from those antitrust laws. The court favored Clarett making him eligible for the 2004 NFL Draft.
When conducting research for my project, I came across a website that contained a few primary sources regarding the Salem Witch Trials. One of these primary sources was the photo of a legal document explaining the death warrant and reasons for execution of a woman named Bridget Bishop. Bishop was claimed to be a witch in Salem during the year 1692, and the document explaining her significance involving witchcraft resides in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. My thesis for this primary source is that the judge and jury believed they were seeking justice by executing Bishop, a woman whose death was truthfully based on her differences as a person rather than actual crimes she committed.
Ashley Smith was a young girl that was placed in a juvenile detention centre at age 15 for throwing apples at a mail man. Her short sentence quickly extended into a life sentence because of so many infractions within the prison system. Ashley suffered from extreme mental health issues and was place in a psychiatric prison facility, however this facility was shown in the documentary to be corrupt and their actions with Ashley were extremely illegal. Furthermore, Ashley wasn’t given the proper help and treatment that she needed, instead she was physically and verbally abused by guards in the prison, and she ultimately passed away in the prison. Her death is still being debated about whether

Abigail Fisher applied for admission to the University of Texas in 2008 and was denied. She was unqualified for the university’s top ten percent plan (Ten percent plan definition: guaranteed admission for any student in the top ten percent of their high school class (has to be in state of Texas)). For those who do not meet the requirements of the ten percent plan their applications are determined by several factors such as race. Fisher proceeded to sue the University, and claimed that utilizing race as a factor for the application process violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. She claimed that the University discriminated her for being white, but the district court claimed the admissions process constitutional. Then
I had the opportunity to read “Doctors” by Anne Sexton. My initial reaction to this text was that the poem is endearing, Sexton truly grasps the nature of not only doctors but also everyone who is involved with the care of a patient, from the doctors and RN’s all the way down to the CNA’s and Dietary Aids. All work with “herbs” whether it be a Doctor giving out painkillers or a Dietary Aid bringing a warm meal with a smile, all factors go into the “gentleness” and “do no harm” so that the patient will get better.
A video clip was upload on YouTube on July 1, 2014, recorded a California Highway Patrol Officer (Daniel Andrew) sitting on top of an African-American woman, later identified as Mrs. Marlene Pinnock (51) and consecutively hitting the victim in the face and head. According to the Associated Press, Ms. Marlene Pinnock was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and no medical treatment during 2-3 months before the incident. Officer Andrew said Mrs. Pinnock was self-endangering herself and other drivers and vehicles while walking on a sidewalk of the crowded moving highway in west Los Angeles, CA (ABDOLLAH, T, 2014).

Most of us accept the stories we were told as children were false, or at least romanticized. At some point, the illusion was shattered, and Santa, the Easter Bunny and Cinderella were characters we fondly remembered. But although we recognized these figures and legends as illusions, we held on to many of the sentiments the stories, without questioning their application to adult life. Anne Sexton often uses these innocent, childlike images juxtaposed with cynical but more realistic situations in order show that the lessons society teaches children, ones that children retain as adults, are illusions that do not properly illustrate the corrupt, violent world we actually live in.
The third decade of the twentieth century brought on more explicit writers than ever before, but none were as expressive as Anne Sexton. Her style of writing, her works, the image that she created, and the crazy life that she led are all prime examples of this. Known as one of the most “confessional” poets of her time, Anne Sexton was also one of the most criticized. She was known to use images of incest, adultery, and madness to reveal the depths of her deeply troubled life, which often brought on much controversy. Despite this, Anne went on to win many awards and go down as one of the best poets of all time.
In her current position, she is responsible for six RN’s, three licensed practical nurses (LPN), five CNA’s and two support staff members. They are currently looking to add several more positions to the payroll. Martinez joined this agency two...
People are inherently strong. With grit, will and courage, they file through life in a never ending cycle of living and dying. In “Courage” by Anne Sexton, a human’s life is put into perspective as it ages. Diction is used to pull on the reader’s heart strings. Similes are used to compare mundane objects to the intricacy of living. Ultimately, the poem tells the reader that dying, as well as living, takes courage.
"Anne Sexton was so special in so many ways, she was so ordinary- and yet, Sexton was far from ordinary."(Talabay 1978) She was a open-ended, intuitive, confessional writer that towards the end turned more dark and demonic. Anne sexton growing up was never a religious type of person but more of a rebellious child trying every way possible to undermined her parents every chance she got. Anne 's poetry inspired many to step up and face who they really are while they still can, but even though Anne 's poetry was considered a perfect entity of words her life was less than perfect. Over the years Anne 's poetry showed her depression and mental state spiraling out of control, but yet she had enough reality to turn those thoughts in her head that
