I examined historical changes in the administrative powers of the Surgeon General, to explain what factors affect how a Surgeon General utilizes the office’s “bully pulpit,” and assess changes in the political environment and in who oversees the Surgeon General that may affect the Surgeon General’s future ability to influence public opinion and health.

  • The If/When/How of Disclosing to an Employer
    LOST IN TRANSITION: THE IF/WHEN/HOW OF DISCLOSING TO AN EMPLOYER BEGIN TRANSCRIPT GIHAN FERNANDO: Hello everyone. If you would take your seats, we're going to go ahead and get started. Thank you so much for joining us. I'm Gihan Fernando. I'm the Assistant Dean for Career Services at Georgetown Law. This is, I believe, the panel that is a little bit more career and job focused directly. But we will have elements, as we talk about things, about the state of the law, building on the prior panel, and then some of the practicalities and difficulties that students and attorneys with disabilities face in the marketplace. We will have, I hope, significant time for your questions about the particular situations you face as you counsel students or if you're students yourself. I know that there are students in the audience that have faced challenges going through the job search. Before we get started with the panel, I have a couple of announcements and shameless plugs. (Laughter) GIHAN FERNANDO: At Georgetown Law, we are one of the co- hosting schools for the Impact Job Fair. How many of you are not familiar with the Impact Job Fair? Oh good. This is good. The word is getting out. Impact is, I believe, one of the very few, if not the only, job fairs that is designed specifically for lawyers and law students with disabilities. And I just wanted to make sure that you all are aware of the next one that's coming up. It's August 7th, 2009 in Crystal City - at the Sheraton in Crystal City.

  • Voices of MLAC by John J
    Voices of MLAC By John J. Carroll, Esq. Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow, P.C. Access to Justice Fellow Project 2017-2018 PREFACE In his Access to Justice Fellowship with the Equal Justice Coalition, John Carroll interviewed leadership, staff, and other stakeholders in the Massachusetts legal services community. From these interviews, and using other historical resources, John authored the collection of narratives in this document, tracing the origins of civil legal aid in Massachusetts and detailing the vital services provided by the 14 programs funded by the Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation (a co-founding member of the EJC). These narratives will be translated into a variety of formats (articles, blog posts, fact sheets) for the EJC, MLAC, and civil legal aid programs to use in outreach, legislative advocacy, and other educational efforts. * Client names in this document have been changed to protect individual privacy. DEDICATION This project is dedicated to the men and women who work in, and have worked in the legal services programs described here. This year marks the 35th anniversary of MLAC’s existence. Over 30 current employees have been at their respective programs all that time. A special dedication to Lonnie Powers, who has been the Executive Director of MLAC since its inception. Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the inexhaustible energy of Catherine Rizos, Director of Communications at MLAC. Her skills in formatting, editing and project management were indispensable in bringing this work alive. Special thanks to Emily Spiewak and Sean Smerczynski at Meehan Boyle, who continually assisted in the drafting and editing process.

  • Frank, Barney (B
    Frank, Barney (b. 1940) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Barney Frank. United States congressman Barney Frank is known for his intelligence, his quick and acerbic wit, and his spirited defense of his social and political beliefs. He has been a leader not only in the cause of gay and lesbian rights, but also on issues including fair housing, consumer rights, banking, and immigration. Frank was born on March 31, 1940 in Bayonne, New Jersey, where his father owned a truck stop. As a youngster Frank developed an interest in politics. He did not, however, foresee a career in government for himself because he observed in politics a dismaying amount of corruption and an inhospitable attitude toward Jews. He had, moreover, realized at the age of thirteen that he was gay, which also seemed an obstacle to a political career. Nevertheless, Frank remained an avid student of politics. After receiving a bachelor's degree from Harvard in 1962, he entered the university's graduate program in political science. In addition to offering courses in government from 1963 to 1967, he worked as the assistant to the director of the Institute for Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government in 1966 and 1967. Frank left the graduate program in 1967 to work on Kevin White's campaign to become mayor of Boston. Following White's victory, Frank was his executive assistant for three years and then spent a year as an administrative assistant to Representative Michael J.

  • Carpenters and Allies Protest Across U.S. and Canada Against Costly Epidemic of Construction Industry Tax Fraud
    United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBC) Matt Capece Special Representative to the General President For Media Inquiries: Justin Weidner [email protected] For immediate release – April 16, 2019 Carpenters and Allies Protest Across U.S. and Canada Against Costly Epidemic of Construction Industry Tax Fraud Washington, D.C. – Regional councils affiliated with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBC) held over 100 events in the U.S. and Canada April 13 – 15, protesting against the costly epidemic of construction industry tax fraud. “But this isn’t just a problem for the construction industry,” said Frank Spencer, General Vice President of the UBC. “We’re exposing the growing problem of fraud in our industry because it impacts everyone.” The UBC’s best estimate, based on studies done at the state level, is that the underground economy (which includes the amount of wages paid to workers off the books) in the construction industry amounts to some $148 billion in the U.S. The lost state and federal income and employment taxes add up to $2.6 billion. According to Statistics Canada, the residential construction industry is the largest contributor to the underground economy there, accounting for just over a quarter of the total, or $13.7 billion. “During our Tax Fraud Days of Action, thousands of carpenters were joined by allies and elected officials,” said Spencer. “We all spoke in a unified voice to declare that basic employment and tax laws need to be enforced for the welfare of workers, responsible employers and all taxpayers.” “I’m sure most of us would prefer to see missing tax revenues properly collected and put to work building better roads, bridges and schools,” Spencer said.
