Old MacDonald Had a Penthouse
By CHRISTOPHER MASON
Published: August 12, 1999
''WHAT'S astounding to people is my Silver Queen corn,'' Barbara Schwartz said, pointing to a bumper crop -- 10 teeny ears -- growing 16 stories up on the terrace of her Park Avenue penthouse.
So exotic is the spectacle of espaliered apples, wild strawberries, blueberries, sweet potatoes, purple basil, runner beans, garlic and cabbages thriving in containers amid Manhattan skyscrapers that visitors invited to admire Ms. Schwartz's contemporary art often reserve their gasps for her over-the-top rooftop cornucopia.
Immaculately manicured in keeping with its owner's daunting standards for esthetic perfection, this vegetable patch in the sky is tended by Jon Carloftis, a landscape designer, who also set up a drip irrigation system, which kicks in at 5:30 A.M., and it is harvested daily by Ms. Schwartz's housekeeper, Beatrice Murry.
''My garden has to be as perfect as my living room,'' said Ms. Schwartz, a decorator and art consultant, whose collection of vegetables vies for glory with works by Ross Bleckner, Cindy Sherman and Julian Schnabel. ''I can't stand to have anything that's not fresh. I'm always out here pruning and deadheading before I go to work,'' she added, pausing to garnish a glass of iced tea with a fresh sprig of pineapple mint as she led a visitor on a summer tour of her potager. ''We have to clean the drains every day to avoid clogging.''
Call it living off the land, penthouse style.
In a city with 11,788 retail food stores, 18,500 restaurants and 43 farmers' markets to support, scarcity of fresh produce is hardly the motivation for New Yorkers to cultivate their own trophy rooftop vegetables, from professionally tended Upper East Side orangeries to walk-ups in Brooklyn where water is hauled up rickety ladders to nourish minor forests of tomatoes and basil.
Folks in New Jersey may be siphoning bath water for their lawns, but no such drought measures have reached this city, whose reservoirs are close to normal capacity despite exceedingly dry conditions. Some Manhattan vegetable gardens continue to thrive on a 150-gallon-a-day habit, the equivalent of flushing a toilet 94 times. If the situation changes, penthouse dwellers who run hoses full blast may just have to resort to truckloads of Evian.
While the likelihood of roof crops being devoured by groundhogs or deer is somewhat slim, achieving a plentiful harvest is far from easy. Vigilant watering, pruning, sweeping, fertilizing and monitoring for blight and hungry insects -- let alone contending with co-op restrictions on weight and watering -- are just a few of the unscintillating chores for the aspiring rooftop farmer. And those who lack the time or inclination to cultivate their own crops soon discover that paying others to do it for them can be wildly expensive.
''I tell them it costs them $100 a tomato,'' said Tim Du Val, an owner of Plant Specialists, a garden design company in Long Island City, Queens. He cautions clients to avoid what he regards as the folly of penthouse agriculture. ''Most vegetables need a lot of room, and they can suffer very easily if they go one day without water,'' he noted. ''And they come into season when you can buy them anywhere.'' The going rate for rooftop garden maintenance in New York City ranges from $35 to $40 an hour for basic labor to $50 to $75 an hour for a head gardener. Elaborate penthouse vegetable gardens might need 5 to 20 hours of attention a week in summer, a per-gardener cost of some $700 to $4,000 a month.
''It's a lot cheaper to go to Balducci's, but people really love it,'' said Mr. Carloftis, who tends 24 rooftop gardens in Manhattan, six of which are resplendent with fruits, vegetables and herbs. ''It's about a basic human instinct,'' he added. ''There's nothing like going out and eating a fresh tomato off your own vine.''
Even so, he conceded, people who spend top dollar on rooftop maintainance are usually more interested in gazing at blooming trees than in growing their own lunch.
For those with the means and the imagination, New York rooftop gardens can yield an astonishing variety of delicacies. On the three-greenhouse terrace of George Gund's Fifth Avenue penthouse, he cultivates 34 types of vegetables, herbs and fruits, including figs, blood oranges, kumquats, key limes, papayas and guavas.
''I'm kind of proud of it,'' said Mr. Gund, an itinerant entrepreneur and philanthropist, calling from his private jet. ''I'd like to grow more but the building seems to object,'' he added, alluding to the management at his co-op, which has also forbidden him to install a drip irrigation system. Consequently, each plant and tree has to be hand-watered by his gardener, Marie-Jose Guepin, who spends about 12 hours a week toiling on the terrace.
So far, Mr. Gund noted, his papaya and guava trees refuse to yield fruit, but he is hopeful. ''If someone tells me something won't grow, it just makes me more determined, he said. ''I thrive on adversity.'' His dream is to grow mangoes on Fifth Avenue.
On a brief trip to New York last month, he seemed elated to discover that a kumquat tree in a south-facing glasshouse on his terrace is outproducing those he grows at his estate in Palm Springs, Calif.

Did you mean?Try your search again
My husband and I will be staying in Toronto for 3 days in June 2016. We would like to make a day trip to Niagara Falls but, as we don't have a car and we prefer not to hire one, we wondered what would be the best way to do the trip. We are happy to use public transport if that is a feasible option. Otherwise, we would do a tour but would like some recommendations on what company to use.
I will be visiting Hamilton coming from Niagara Falls but with one little problem. I don't own a drivers license so can only use public transport.
What i saw is that waterfalls like 'Webster' and 'Tews' only have bus 5 coming near it but still a 30 minute walk along a pretty big road without a sidewalk?
Albion Falls seems to be reachable easier what i can see?
Any tips on the must see waterfalls which are reachable by bus end of March?
Thank you in advance!
My husband and I will be travelling from Ottawa to Toronto in mid-June 2016. We don't have a car and don't want to fly, so thought we would either take a bus or the train. Both take a similar amount of time and cost around the same, so we thought we would ask for some advice on whether one option or the other would provide the best scenery on the way. Any advice would be most appreciated.
How long did you stay in Toronto?
where did you visit in Toronto?
I want to book a holiday in Toronto for June but I am not sure where it's best to stay.
I know that all the hotels state that the subway makes it easy to get around but I have looked at a few places down by the harbour (Westin, CN tower apartments mostly due to the views) but I have also looked at hotels more towards Midtown (Novotel and Holiday Inn) and near one of the parks.
Which area would be the best to stay in terms of area (I wouldn't have a clue if anything was placed in a not so nice area), getting to sights and shopping and food in general?
Thank you

Window Treatments For Hard To Reach Windows
- Cover high spots for additional privacy
- Consider light control needs on high windows
- Protect interior from UV rays and heat gain
- Versatile top down/bottom up to preserve view
- Add motorization for easier operation
A tall wall full of windows provides great views and plenty of light, but may let in damaging UV rays or unwanted heat. Hard to reach areas usually require custom made blinds for high windows. Determine how much light control you need and if you'd like your shade to be adjustable. If you don't plan on raising or lowering your shades, choose a cellular shade with light filtering qualities that fit your needs. For total control over your shade, we suggest motorization that will allow you to raise, lower, or tilt your blinds with a remote control instead of struggling to grab a hold of those hard to reach window treatments.

Mrs. Dash, Original Seasoning Blend, 2.5 oz (71 g)
By Mrs. Dash108 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Jun 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.24 lbs (0.11 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Im a vegetarian and is very hard to add new flavors to your meals after 15 years of cooking (i should probably go to cooking lessons :p ) but all the Mr Dash products help wonders to enhance the flavors of the veggies and add a new twist to everyday meals! We used this one for practically everything: salads, dips, stir frys, rice, etc...very good and NO SALT so simply awesome! and lasts a long time too! Please click YES if you liked this review :D
An old favorite I was happy to find recently at IHERB. Unique blend that goes with most anything.

I am running a server, and I would like to have a users dictionary, and give each user a specific number.
Dictionary<int,ServerSideUser> users = new Dictionary<int,ServerSideUser>();
The key represents the user on the server, so when people send messages to that user, they send them to this number. I might as well have used the users IP number, but that's not that a good idea.
I need to allocate such a number for each user, and I'm really not sure how to do so. Someone suggested something like
Enumerable.Range(int.MinValue, int.MaxValue)
.Except(users.Select(x => x.Key)).First();
but I really don't think it's the optimal way. Also, I have the same problem with a List (or LinkedList) somewhere else.
Any ideas?

(Author's note: This continues a series answering objections to the Christian worldview. A week or two ago I made a call for folks to send me their "best shot." For the other posts in the series, simply follow the links and the pingbacks in the comments section.)
See parts I, II, and III in this series.
When it comes to objections to the existence and goodness of God, the "problem of evil" pops up the most often. Sometimes it is merely a smokescreen to suppress the truth, but other times it is a real doubt in reaction to real pain.
It can be difficult to affirm the goodness of God if your fiance' perished on September 11.
Our hearts ached in reaction to the men and women who died in the Columbine massacre; many of these men and women were in the prime of their lives.
If a loved one died in the Tsunami in India, it all seems so gratuitous and undeserved.
With events like these, we quite understandably cry "why, God?"
I wonder: why do we never utter that cry when the evil makes us feel good? What about all the lies uttered on September 11? What about the affairs consumated the same day as the Tsunami? What about all the college students who cheated on their exams that semester, leaping over those who earned their grade by honest means? What about when we backstab others? What about when we ignore the pleas of the homeless? What about our deaf ears to the cries of the unborn slaughtered by a pair of forceps?
I don't see any "why God?" headlines when it comes to those things.
Despite the fact that some are honestly wrestling with this problem, we have a huge blind spot. There's a bit of hypocrisy in our questioning. The problem of evil, you see, is bigger than our objections; it includes what God objects to as well.
When seen in this light, it becomes clear that we, too, are outlaws. We are part of the problem. As C.S Lewis once quipped, "If God got rid of all the evil tonight at Midnight, where would you or I be at 12:01?"
To illustrate, consider my students. Every year about midway through, I give them a writing assignment: what do you think I need to do to improve the classroom? One of the most common answers goes something like, "don't tolearate the kids who disrupt. Kick them out of class." I am always amused at this answer, for many of the kids who write that are the clowns that are doing the disrupting. They can't conceive that I'd ever round them up too.
This shows that God is not unwilling or unable to deal with evil. Trust me, one day He will, and it will be a complete job. What keeps the hammer of His justice from falling is not callousness or aloofness, but patience. He is giving us time to repent and accept His solution, Jesus.
Also keep in mind that the picture of God we see in Jesus is of a God who is near. He does not stand at a distance, clucking disapproval or mystically staring into space. God, in Christ, has played the game of life by His own rules. As the book of Hebrews points out, Jesus is a High Priest that can sympathize with us in our weakness, because He has gone through it all, but without sin.
The shortest sentence in the Bible, "Jesus wept," demonstrates a profound truth: God, in Christ, felt pain. This is confirmed all over the Bible.
Countless brothers and sisters in Christ have entered into this truth in deep and mind-boggling ways. As they continue to praise God in the midst of intense suffering, their experience of Christ deepens. Their eyes often betray a love and intensity of relationship with Christ that cannot be had in a time of comfort. This is something they would not trade for the world.
I can only marvel at the lives of these brothers and sisters.
We also must take note that if the Christian worldview is true, evil and suffering is not the final answer. We experience in this age, but it's reign is only temporal. There is resurrection after the suffering of the cross. The hope of the empty tomb is a hope that is unique to the movement started by Christ.
I am convinced that outside of Christ, there is nothing but despair in reaction to evil and suffering. Without Christ, evil and suffering makes life utterly absurd. But praise God, literally, that Jesus is risen indeed!
The cross puts the Christian answer head and shoulders above the answer atheism gives to evil. Evil and suffering is a problem for *every* worldview, you know. Atheist Bertrand Russell once famously quipped, "how could someone speak of God at the bedside of a dying child?"
William Lane Craig's answer to Russell's question shows the stark contrast between worldviews: "what would the atheist say? Bum deal? That's the way it goes? Sorry, too bad?"
All the atheist has is, "bummer." It's all just DNA causing things and atoms colliding. There isn't even real evil on the atheistic worldview. It's such a polemical shot in the foot that I wonder why they press the issue so hard with Christians.
But Christians can speak of an empty tomb, and, as we will find out later, this is no placebo hope.
Elie Wiesel, in his holocaust memoir Night, tells of an excruciating execution he witnessed while encamped at one of the prison camps. Along with the other prisoners, he witnessed the hanging of three young men. The first two died quickly, but the third one, a particularly young boy, struggled in the noose, because of his light weight. Behind him in the crowd, Wiesel heard one prisoner utter the questions, "where is God in all of this?" Wiesel's answer? "He is there, hanging on the gallows."**
That was Wiesel's artful way of saying that was the moment when he lost faith in God…but I daresay that his words had a deep truth of which he was not aware.
In the cross and empty tomb, to paraphrase Ravi Zacharias, He has not conquered in spite of the dark mystery of evil; He has conquered through it.
Check out this very pertinent video of Ravi Zacharias treatment of the existential side of this issue:
Author note: in writing this post, I consulted Greg Koukl's excellent response to the problem of evil.
**Zacharias makes capital of this passage in many of his treatments of the problem.

818 - 272 - 7755
Experience: Over 300 events!
Ask me for samples of videos!
818 - 272 - 7755
1 - The Price
I am open minded about the price. I am not strict about it. I try to work with people's budgets. And I hate to lose a possible job because of the price. This is a second job for me and so I do this for both money and for fun. If you don't like my price, let me know what your budget is, and maybe we can work out a deal. Don't worry, you can get quality service and still make a deal. Call me before you get another DJ!
2 - The Music
I know Indian music and I try to be up to date on the popular songs for both Bollywood and Bhangra. I don't just play what I like, I play what is considered popular. I have done many events and I have a good idea of what people like. So it does not matter if you need a Bollywood DJ or a Bhangra DJ, I can handle both catagories. I also have about 2 hours of Garba music. And I have some English songs as well. But most of my collection is Indian.
3 - My Experience
I have done over 300 events. I have done weddings, wedding receptions, clubs, houses, corporate events, lounges and I DJed at the beach once. I have DJ-ed all over California. I have DJ-ed in Los Angeles, Orange County, Irvine, San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Simi Valley, Bakersfield, Fresno, and more. I have also done events outside of California. I have done Indian events, Pakistani events, Bengladeshi events, Nepali events, and American events. It does not matter if you have a wedding or a dinner party, I do different kinds of events.
4 - I interact with the crowd
I don't just play music. I interact with the crowd. I love to get involved. I get on the microphone and try to pump the crowd up. This is one of the things that makes me really different from some of the other Desi DJ's. I get involved when I DJ. I engage with the audience. And I love it. For me it is fun. I try to get the crowd going.
5 - My video samples
I have lots of video samples of people dancing when I DJ. So if you want to have an idea of how some past events have gone, I have video samples! For different reasons I don't put them on here, but I can send them to you if you like!
6 - I know how to mix
I understand the purpose of mixing. When to switch, how to match beats, what song to play, and of course going by the crowd. Some of the other Indian DJs don't know how to mix, but I do. And I mix properly. I used to work at a Los Angeles radio station, so I am actually mixing the right way.

First-Aid Kit Necessity
posted 8 years ago
As convenient as these pre-moistened pads are, Kwik Stop's Styptic Powder is a better deal. Hopefully, before you need 90 pads to stop the bleeding of your pets' quicks when cutting their nails, you will have learned to be a better nail trimmer.
My Kwik Stop Pads dried out, and I replaced them with Kwik Stop Powder. It's great to have on hand for the rare times I need it.
Pros: Stops bleeding quickly
Cons: Product dries out before used up

7 Things You Should Know About Clickers
Interaction and engagement are often limited by class size and human dynamics (a few students may dominate the conversation while most avoid interaction). Interaction and engagement, both important learning principles, can be facilitated with clickers. Clickers can also facilitate discipline-specific discussions, small work-group cooperation, and student-student interactions. Clickers—plus well-designed questions—provide an easy-to-implement mechanism for enhancing interaction. Clicker technology enables more effective, more efficient, and more engaging education.
The EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative's (ELI's) "7 Things You Should Know About..." Series provides concise information on emerging learning practices and technologies. Each brief focuses on a single practice or technology and describes what it is, how it works, where it is going, and why it matters to teaching and learning. Use ELI's "7 Things You Should Know About..." briefs for a no-jargon, quick overview, either for yourself or for colleagues who are pressed for time.

On Agency Accommodations and Least Restrictive Alternatives
Nadia N. Sawicki
Did HHS shoot itself in the foot by providing an accommodation to religious non-profits?
In holding that the contraceptive mandate imposed by HHS on Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood was not the "least restrictive alternative" for providing no-cost contraceptive coverage to women, the Supreme Court pointed to the accommodation HHS recently provided to religiously-affiliated non-profit corporations. Under the accommodation, "eligible organizations" such as religiously-affiliated hospitals and universities can avoid funding insurance coverage for contraceptives if they certify that they have a religious objection to providing such coverage. In such cases, the eligible organization's insurance issuer must exclude contraception from the organization's group health insurance plan, and instead provide a separate issuer-funded contraceptive plan directly to employees. Given that such an accommodation is already in place for some employers, the Supreme Court noted, "HHS itself has demonstrated that it has at its disposal an approach that is less restrictive than requiring employers to fund contraceptive methods that violate their religious beliefs."
One obvious problem with the Court's assertion, noted in Justice Ginsburg's dissent, is that the Court expressly declined to determine whether such an accommodation would in fact be permissible under RFRA. Given the challenges to the accommodation-by-certification requirement already brought by organizations like Little Sisters of the Poor, it is far from clear that the current composition of the Supreme Court would uphold this requirement if faced with a direct challenge.
A second, perhaps less obvious, concern about the Court's proposal that the eligible employer accommodation be extended to for-profit corporations is that HHS may now regret providing it – and as a result, HHS may refrain from making similar accommodations in the future, which would be a significant loss to defenders of religious freedom.
Sincerity and Religious Belief in Hobby Lobby
Nadia N. Sawicki
Courts evaluating First Amendment and RFRA claims have long held that they are in no position to evaluate the validity, centrality, or reasonableness of a claimant's sincere religious beliefs. And while there is room for courts to evaluate whether a claimant's beliefs are indeed "sincere," many courts shy away from doing so because of a perceived overlap between judgments about centrality and about sincerity.
In Hobby Lobby, the sincerity of the corporation's beliefs was not in dispute. Hobby Lobby asserted (and HHS accepted the claim) that it had a sincere religious belief that life begins at conception, and that this belief prohibited it from facilitating access to contraceptives that operate after that point.
But recent news reports have shown that Hobby Lobby has, in fact, been involved in activities that seemingly run afoul of this belief – including investing in pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the contraceptives they raise objections to in their lawsuit, as well as drugs commonly used for abortion; investing in insurance companies that cover abortion and emergency contraceptives; and actually providing coverage for emergency contraception in their own health plan until 2012.
While these facts were not raised before the courts hearing Hobby Lobby's RFRA claims, First Amendment precedent suggests that they would be relevant to a judgment about the sincerity of Hobby Lobby's religious beliefs. Surely a company that believes life begins at conception would have more difficulty demonstrating the sincerity of its beliefs when some of its conduct supports activities that are in direct opposition to this stated belief. This is not to say that a court would ultimately conclude that Hobby Lobby's religious beliefs were insincere – but rather, that a court could legitimately consider these facts without treading into the dangerous territory of judging the merits and centrality of Hobby Lobby's beliefs to the exercise of its faith.
"That's a Lot of Marijuana"
Nadia N. Sawicki
Earlier this month, the Drug Enforcement Administration issued notice that it would be increasing the 2014 production quota for marijuana from 21 kilograms to 650 kilograms – an almost 3000% increase. In the words of DEA spokeswoman Barbara Carreno, "That's a lot of marijuana." This step, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), was a necessary response to a dramatic increase in current and proposed marijuana research. Continue reading
How Medicine Learns About the Law
Nadia N. Sawicki
Many medical providers learn about the law the way kids learn about sex – whispers with friends, internet message boards, and media depictions of the most dramatic and unrealistic kind. And while both medical schools and junior high schools offer some type of formal education, it is quite limited, especially as compared to the information these students collect through other, less reputable, sources. As a result, many medical providers go into practice with a dark cloud over their heads – the "scared straight" model of legal education, if you will.
We've heard a lot about the practice of defensive medicine – ordering more tests and procedures than are medically necessary in an effort to protect oneself from potential liability. But fear of liability manifests itself in other, less dramatic, ways as well – for example, in overly-restrictive interpretations of HIPAA requirements that make it difficult for patients and their care providers to access needed medical information. In reality, however, much of the fear of liability experienced by medical professionals is unfounded.
"Sanitizing" Lethal Injection
Nadia N. Sawicki
Oklahoma's botched execution of Clayton Lockett has brought increased attention to an issue that I have been concerned with for years – the increased "medicalization" of legally sanctioned executions, and, in particular, the role that medical professionals and the scientific community play in this process.
Until the 20th century, most executions were conducted publicly – execution was a communal ritual that served as a means of catharsis. But the American execution process has, over time, become less visible, and, as a consequence, subject to less public oversight. I believe that the movement of the capital punishment process "behind the curtain," both literally and figuratively, should trouble death penalty opponents and supporters alike.
The standard lethal injection protocol used throughout the United States was developed in 1976 by Dr. Jay Chapman, Oklahoma's state medical examiner, and Dr. Stanley Deutsch, chair of the Oklahoma Medical School anesthesiology department. Without testing or research, they settled on a three-drug protocol for executing prisoners – sodium thiopental, a short-acting barbiturate; pancuronium bromide, a paralytic; and potassium chloride, which stops the heart. Until recently, this was the combination used in every state.
Things began to change when Hospira, the U.S. pharmaceutical company that manufactured sodium thiopental, stopped making the drug in 2011. Since then, European manufacturers of sodium thiopental and pentobarbital have limited the production of these drugs, and the European Commission has restricted their export to the U.S. for execution purposes. And just last year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled in Cook v. FDA that the FDA lacks authority to permit importation of these drugs, which, when used for lethal injection, are considered "misbranded" under the FDCA. As a result, many states, including Oklahoma, have had to resort to other alternatives.
Media Matters: Fetal Abnormalities in the Munoz Case
Nadia N. Sawicki
The tragic case of Marlise Munoz is finally at an end, now that John Peter Smith Hospital has, pursuant to an order by Judge R. H. Wallace, Jr., taken Ms. Munoz off life support and released her body to her family. A few questions about the media's role in this case linger in my mind, however; I will be addressing them in a series of posts.
In the days immediately preceding the court's ruling, media reports frequently mentioned that the fetus Ms. Munoz was carrying was "distinctly abnormal." My impression is that these reports were intended to strengthen the case, at least in the public's eyes, for withdrawal of life support. Maintaining a dead body on life support against the family's wishes in order to preserve the life of an able fetus is one thing, commentators seemed to suggest, but the case for doing so when the fetus suffers from hydrocephalus, heart problems, and deformation of the lower extremities is less compelling.
In the eyes of pro-life advocates committed to preserving the potentiality of life at all costs, however, the fetus' medical condition seems irrelevant. Unless a fetus is definitively not viable (which in this case the hospital finally conceded it was), a true commitment to the preservation of fetal life would not waver in the face of likely disability upon the child's birth.
The fervent media reporting about the abnormality of the Munoz fetus seems, at least to me, to reflect a disconnect between the public's perception of the significance of fetal disability in such cases, and its significance to disability advocates and advocates of pro-life policy. What lessons, if any, can we learn from this disconnect?
Standards of Care and Patient Advocacy in Religiously Affiliated Hospitals
By Nadia N. Sawicki
The New York Times reported today that the ACLU has filed a lawsuit against the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops on behalf of Tamesha Means, a patient at Mercy Health Partners in Michigan. The suit alleges that Means suffered physical and emotional harm as a result of the Conference of Bishops' ethical directives relating to pregnancy termination, which Mercy, as a Catholic health institution, is required to follow.
According to the ACLU press release and the Times article, when Means' water broke 18 weeks into her pregnancy, she rushed to Mercy Health, the only hospital in her county. According to medical experts, the fetus had "virtually no chance of surviving" and posed a significant risk to Means' health. Mercy physicians did not share this information with Means, and discharged her without informing her that terminating the pregnancy and extracting the fetus was the safest course of action from a medical perspective. Means returned to the hospital twice in the next two days, suffering from infection and extreme pain, but it wasn't until she miscarried that the staff at Mercy attended to her medical needs. An obstetrician at the University of Wisconsin Medical School quoted in the Times described Mercy's treatment of Means' condition as "basic neglect."
Rather than suing Mercy Health Partners, Means and the ACLU are suing the Conference of Bishops. They argue that by directing Catholic hospitals to avoid terminating pregnancies or providing referrals (even when a woman's health is at risk), the Conference of Bishops is ultimately responsible for the harms suffered by Means and other women in her position. According to Louise Melling, deputy director of the ACLU, "This isn't about religious freedom, it's about medical care."
There are a host of legal, ethical, and religious issues associated with the Tamesha Means case. But in this post, I'd like to focus on only one – the division of legal responsibility between health care providers and third parties when it comes to patient advocacy and quality of care.

Doctors who DREAM: Clearing up Confusion on Citizenship Requirements
Nadia N. Sawicki
Loyola University Chicago's Stritch School of Medicine recently announced that it is accepting applications from DREAMers – undocumented immigrants who are eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which grants qualified applicants a two-year, renewable authorization to remain and work within the United States. This news was met with predictable responses on both sides of the immigration debate – DREAMers applauded the decision, while critics of immigration reform derided the program as a "campaign by that elites who run higher education" who are insensitive to the program's effects on American citizens.
Media reporting on Loyola's new policy, however, has been unclear with respect to one issue – whether DREAMer graduates will ultimately be able to obtain medical licenses in the states in which they intend to practice. According to Geoffrey Young, senior director of student affairs and programs at the Association of American Medical Colleges in Washington, who was quoted in an article in Crain's Chicago Business, "They'll all be M.D.s, but whether or not they can practice legally in states is to be determined."
Under the best interpretation of current law, however, DREAMers who successfully graduate medical school cannot be barred from obtaining a medical license on account of their citizenship status. While some states' licensing requirements still include a citizenship requirement (New Jersey, for example, requires that applicants for a medical license be U.S. citizens or declare their intention to be a citizen; those who fail to gain citizenship within a set period of time will have their temporary licenses revoked), Supreme Court precedent indicates that withholding medical licensure based on citizenship status would likely violate the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Lethal Injection Drug Shortage Leads to Debate
Nadia N. Sawicki
A recent article in the New York Times ("Death Row Improvises, Lacking Lethal Mix") described the challenges that correctional departments in death penalty states face in obtaining the drugs needed for lethal injection. The manufacturers of pancuronium bromide and pentobarbital, for example, have refused to supply drugs for execution purposes, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of the District of Columbia recently ruled that the FDA cannot approve importation of sodium thiopental. States such as Missouri, Arkansas, and California are now struggling to decide how to approach the issue.
The article quotes death penalty supporter Kent Scheidegger, of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, who describes the legal challenges to lethal injection drugs as a "conspiracy to choke off capital punishment by limiting the availability of drugs." Also quoted is Robert Blecker, a professor of criminal law at New York Law School, who refers to the drug challenges as "an abolitionist tactic to gum up the works … It's just another tactic." Such comments do a disservice to those on both sides of the political spectrum who have legitimate concerns about the methods by which states execute death row prisoners. Not every challenge to lethal injection techniques is a subversive tactic to overturn the death penalty. In engaging in debate on this issue, commentators ought to look beyond their own political perspectives and consider that the arguments made by opponents are made in good faith and do not always reflect a predetermined political view.
While many opponents of lethal injection techniques are driven by a moral opposition to the death penalty, the arguments about the problems with these techniques are valid regardless of one's political position. Surely, even a supporter of the death penalty can believe that the methods used to execute prisoners matter – that lethal injection techniques ought to be effective and efficient, and ought to be designed to avoid the types of errors that have caused complications in the past. One's support for the death penalty as a penal tool should not negate human compassion for even the most hardened criminal's last moments on earth. While death penalty states may be eager to move forward with executions as quickly as possible, it is foolish for this motivation to drive the adoption of untested and unproven drugs.
While there are very real logistical challenges to testing new execution techniques, death penalty supporters are wrong to describe the arguments presented by opponents of the current system of lethal injection as merely conspiratorial tactics to "gum up the works." Rather, these arguments reflect legitimate concerns about the end-of-life experiences faced by the 40 to 60 prisoners who are executed every year. Commentators such as Scheidegger and Blecker, if truly committed to the death penalty, ought to find ways to satisfy critics' concerns about humane execution methods, rather than dismiss critics as politically-motivated obstructionists.
Is Paying For Medical Care Like Buying A Used Car?
Nadia N. Sawicki
Two recent publications prompt me to ask this question.
The first, forthcoming in JAMA Internal Medicine, is a study by Jaime Rosenthal, a student at Washington University in St. Louis. Rosenthal and her colleagues set out to obtain pricing data for total hip arthroplasty from 20 top-ranked orthopedic hospitals and 102 representative general hospitals (two from each state and Washington DC). Rosenthal, posing as the granddaughter of a 62-year old woman without health insurance, contacted each hospital numerous times to inquire about the total cost of the procedure. Only 45% of the top-ranked hospitals and 10% of other hospitals were able to provide a complete bundled price; price estimates were obtained at 15% of ranked hospitals and 53% of other hospitals by contacting the hospital and physicians separately. And perhaps most startlingly, the prices quoted for the procedure ranged from $11,000 to $125,798. The authors' conclusion is a modest one – that patients "may find considerable price savings through comparison shopping" – but I believe its impact is far greater. In part because of the way health care is financed in our country, the average American consumer has little awareness of how much any given medical procedure actually costs. But who can blame the consumer in this market, when those who provide the services themselves have no baseline against which to set costs?
This brings me to the second piece — Steven Brill's excellent article in Time Magazine, "Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills are Killing Us," which my co-blogger Patrick O'Leary blogged about last week. ). Brill spent half a year trying to understand why some nonprofit hospitals seem to function like prosperous businesses – with brand-new facilities, impressive executive compensation, and high profit margins. He approached this problem by analyzing patients' medical bills from hospitals, physicians, drug companies, "and every other player in the American health care ecosystem." Brill offers a scathing commentary on a system where patients are billed $18 per diabetes testing strip that can be purchased in boxes of 50 on Amazon.com for about 55 cents per strip. Another example: one patient was billed $7,997.54 for a CT scan stress test that Medicare pays $554 for; and $3 for a reusable pen that marked where an incision would go. These prices, Brill explains, are based on the chargemaster, a master document of prices kept by every hospital that is the basis for insurance negotiation reductions. Nearly every executive he spoke with said that the chargemaster prices are irrelevant because "nobody gets charged those prices," but Brill's research suggests the contrary. Those without insurance, as we in the health law and policy community have long known, are charged more that those who are covered by insurance. Brill's article also follows medical billing advocates who negotiate patient bills down dramatically for patients who are willing to pay their fees; however, not every patient is so lucky.
The findings in Rosenthal's and Brill's articles are startling. Few consumers, I would image, participate in the health care market with the understanding that the costs they might pay vary widely from institution to institution; that the prices they are asked to pay for a given procedure are far in excess of how much federal health programs believe the procedure is worth; or that they can "bargain down" their charges through skilled negotiation by someone with inside knowledge of the system. Readers of this blog might chafe at the comparison between the market for health care and the market for used cars, but perhaps it is the used car dealer who should feel offended. His customers, at least, can rely on the Kelley Blue Book.

We've roped in another one! Nadia Sawicki started with us as a guest blogger this Fall and has decided to stay on indefinitely. We're thrilled to have her. Keep an eye out for her always insightful posts.
Google, Whole Foods, and … Big Pharma?
Nadia N. Sawicki
Google's informal corporate slogan is "Don't be evil." Whole Foods is a Fortune 500 company with a net revenue of 10 billion dollar that prides itself on a commitment to social responsibility. Both companies have pledged to do long-term good in the world, even at the expense of short-term gains, and both are wildly successful.
If corporations can be profitable as a result of their commitments to social justice and corporate ethics, why can't this doctrine be extended to the pharmaceutical industry? Someday, a company called GoodPharma might reach the Fortune 500 on the basis of a pledge to improve access to medicine, conduct international research trials in accordance with the highest standards of research ethics, engage in research on orphan diseases, publish negative research findings, promptly report information about adverse effects, and generally act as a model for ethical industry practices. If this business model hasn't been explored, it should be.
Good Science and Bad Verdicts
Nadia N. Sawicki
On Monday, an Italian court convicted six scientists and a government official of manslaughter for providing the townspeople of L'Aquila with "inaccurate, incomplete and contradictory" information about risk of a 2009 earthquake in which 309 residents subsequently died. The prosecutors in the case successfully alleged that the scientists, all members of the National Commission for the Forecast and Prevention of Major Risk (La Commissione Nazionale per la Previsione e Prevenzione dei Grandi Rischi), downplayed the risks to the town at a meeting in which they described the possibility of a large earthquake "unlikely" despite a series of minor tremors. Interestingly, the prosecutor in the case cited a 2009 ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana holding that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' negligent maintenance of a navigation channel contributed to the flooding after Hurricane Katrina.
The defendants were sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to pay $10.2 million in damages and costs, a result one of the convicted defendants, a physicist, has decried as "medieval."
The decision to criminally punish scientists for failing to predict a natural disaster that is inherently unpredictable is likely to have a chilling effect on critical research. More importantly, it may lead to reluctance on the part of the scientific community to collaborate with government agencies for the public good. Indeed, the Department of Civil Protection (Dipartimento della Protezione Civile), of which the National Commission is a part, suggested that the first consequence of the court's ruling would be a "paralysis of forecasting and prevention activities" (translation my own). "This is the death of public service on the part of professors and professionals," said Luciano Maiani, president of the National Commission, who, along with a number of colleagues, resigned his post on Tuesday.
Missouri District Court Dismisses Challenge to Contraception Mandate
By Nadia N. Sawicki
Litigation challenging the PPACA contraception mandate continues, and last week's decision by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri in O'Brien v. HHS brings the total number of decisions on the merits to two (three cases – Nebraska v. Sebelius, Wheaton College v. Sebelius, and Belmont Abbey v. Sebelius – have already been dismissed for lack of standing).
Judge Carol Jackson's opinion dismisses all the plaintiffs' claims, but focuses primarily on the Religious Freedom and Restoration Act (RFRA) claim. RFRA, which was passed by Congress in response to the Supreme Court's 1990 decision in Employment Division v. Smith, applies a stricter standard of scrutiny to burdens on religious exercise than is constitutionally required under Smith. A plaintiff who can demonstrate that his freedom of religious exercise is being substantially burdened by a law will prevail unless the government can prove that the law serves a compelling state interest using the least restrictive means possible.
With respect to O'Brien's RFRA claim, the District Court concluded that requiring a corporate employer to cover contraception in its health insurance plan does not impose a substantial burden on the entity's right to religious exercise. Or rather, the entity's hypothetical right to religious exercise – the District Court assumed for the sake of argument that a secular corporation can, in fact, "exercise" a religion. The court concluded, however, that whatever burdens exist on the plaintiffs' right of free exercise, those burdens are "too attenuated to state a claim for relief." Unlike other cases where plaintiffs have been able to demonstrate substantial burdens on religion, the PPACA contraception mandate would not prevent the plaintiffs in O'Brien from keeping the Sabbath, raising a family according to Scripture, eschewing contraception, or expressing an opinion to employees. Rather, the mandate merely requires indirect financial support of a practice with which the plaintiffs disagree – no different, the court suggests, than paying a salary to an employee who, through her own free will, chooses to purchase an objectionable product. While the court did not draw this connection directly, this reasoning is similar in kind to the reasoning used by courts in rejecting claims of conscientious objection by taxpayers.
When Is An Emergency Not an Emergency?
In 2010, Illinois issued an administrative rule requiring that pharmacies dispense all lawfully prescribed drugs, including emergency contraception, or face sanctions. Last week, an Illinois appellate court in Morr-Fitz v. Quinn held that Illinois' Conscience Act prohibits enforcement of the rule as applied to the plaintiffs, pharmacy owners with ethical convictions against distribution of emergency contraception.
The case was decided on state law grounds, and involved a rather thorough textual analysis of the Illinois Conscience Act and the administrative rule regarding pharmacies' obligations to dispense. The most interesting part of the court's analysis, in my opinion, was its discussion of whether the need for emergency contraception qualifies as an emergency.
By its terms, the Illinois Conscience Act does not relieve medical providers from their legal obligations to provide "emergency medical care." The state defendants in this case argued that "because 'every hour counts' in the effectiveness of Plan B contraceptives, the provision of emergency contraceptives falls within this exception." The court, however, concluded that emergency medical care necessarily involves "an element of urgency and the need for immediate action," and that a woman's need for emergency contraception does not fall within this definition. According to the court, unlike a ruptured appendix or surgical shock, "unprotected sex does not place a woman in imminent danger requiring an urgent response."

Symposium: Freedom of Choice at the End of Life, Nov. 16
Nadia N. Sawicki
New York Law School's Justice Action Center is hosting a symposium on elder law on Friday, November 16, titled "Freedom of Choice at the End of Life: Patients' Rights in a Shifting Legal and Political Landscape." A number of Bill of Health bloggers (myself included) will be speaking at this event, which will address topics including legal and practical impediments to honoring end-of-life wishes, the practicalities of drafting and using advance planning tools, pain management and palliative care, futility, and ethical dilemmas in end-of-life care.

9th Circuit: Prosecution of Women Seeking Illegal Abortions Likely Unconstitutional
Nadia N. Sawicki
In May 2011, Jennie Linn McCormack was charged with violating an Idaho law making it a felony for any woman to undergo an abortion in a manner not authorized by statute. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has recently upheld the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho's grant of a preliminary injunction restraining enforcement of the statute under which McCormack was charged.
McCormack's crime, according to prosecutor Mark Heideman, was that she used medication legally prescribed by a physician on the Internet to induce abortion. McCormack pursued this option because there were no abortion providers in the eight southeastern Idaho counties proximate to her home, and the cost of traveling 138 miles to a provider Salt Lake City, Utah was beyond her means.
Idaho's abortion statute is unusual in that it expressly permits prosecution of pregnant women who pursue illegal abortions, rather than being limited to third-party abortion providers. Hiedeman contended that his prosecutorial authority under the statute was valid, arguing that the health and safety justifications for criminalizing illegal abortions are just as relevant when the responsible actor is the pregnant woman herself. The 9th Circuit disagreed. It noted that abortion laws have historically been aimed at protecting women from unqualified abortion providers, and that most statutory and common law precedents exempt women from liability for actions taken in connection with abortion. Judge Pregerson supported the validity of McCormack's claim that prosecuting pregnant women for illegal abortion poses an undue burden on reproductive choice in that it requires women to police their providers' compliance with abortion laws.
Tobacco Labeling and the Ethics of Persuasion
The D.C. Circuit's recent decision vacating the FDA's graphic labeling requirements has prompted a flood of valuable commentary about compelled speech doctrine, including Richard Epstein's, below. While analysis of the First Amendment issues is important, I view the R.J. Reynolds case instead as an example of how emphasis on formal legal arguments may detract attention from the underlying source of public opposition.
My current research focuses on the state's use of emotionally-gripping graphic imagery in medical and public health contexts. I focus on two examples – the "fear appeal," exemplified by the FDA's graphic tobacco labeling requirements; and appeals to positive emotions, such as maternal bonding, exemplified by state laws requiring that women view ultrasound images and hear the heartbeat of their own fetus before consenting to an abortion.
Both types of appeals to emotion have faced constitutional challenges – as violations of First Amendment compelled speech doctrine, or imposition of undue burdens on reproductive liberty interests. But these formalistic constitutional tests do not, in my opinion, get at the heart of the public's concern about government persuasion using emotional imagery. Few contemporary commentators are willing to challenge requirements for scientifically valid textual warnings. Rather, it is the use of images – diseased lungs, cadavers, fetal heartbeats – that strikes a chord of concern among many critics. Whether designed to inspire fear, love, or disgust, the government's use of these images to persuade seems to run counter to the principles of democratic discourse.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and The Public Imagination
Friday, January 18, 2013
On August 28, 1963 Martin Luther King Jr. did what he'd done countless times before: he began building a sermon. And in his sermons King relied on improvisation, drawing on sources and references that were limited only by his imagination and memory. It's a gift — and a tradition — on full display in the "I Have A Dream" speech, but it's also in conflict with the intellectual property laws that have been strenuously used by his estate since his death. In a segment originally aired in 2011, OTM producer Jamie York speaks with Drew Hansen, Keith Miller, Michael Eric Dyson and Lewis Hyde about King, imagination and the consequences of limiting access to art and ideas.

A Chinese toy maker is set to release a Steve Jobs action figure next month, but Apple is hoping to halt the sales of the doll by threatening legal action against the manufacturer.

Brooke speaks to paidcontent.org legal writer Jeff Roberts, who says the rules protecting personality rights don't carry on after death in most places.

Hey Ladies,
I am trying to choose on OBGYN now, and I think I am leaning towards having ONE doc throughout pregnancy, however I will most likely have a random doc deliver my baby. Is it scary NOT knowing what doc will be delivering? I am asking since I heard most of the work in the delivery room is done by nurses (they are the most helpful).
I gotta say I'm a control freak, however my current Dr. practice rotating between 5 OBGYN''s doesn't delight me at all, since I don't even like 2 of the docs based on reviews form other people (poor bedside manner).

what is the use of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file in linux? is anyother way to change interface name in linux other than 70-persistent-net.rules?
This file associates your NIC's MAC address with an interface name that will be given to the NIC at startup. There are certainly ways to change the name at runtime but if you reboot, it's gonna be the contents of that file that count.
I guess you refer to the new interface names!?!
My DC technican strongly advised to change software / scripts instead of the adapter names. I do not have an explaintation for this yet, but i guess the new naming is more precise.
A few days ago i made this post after bugging with an "outdated script". http://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/30xukg/rip_eth0_say_hello_p1p1/
