Marrie curie
1. Born November 7, 1867, Warsaw, Congress Kingdom of Poland, Russian Empiredied July 4, 1934, near Sallanches, France), Polish born French physicist, famous for her work on radioactivity and twice a winner of the Nobel Prize. With Henri Becquerel and her husband, Pierre Curie, she was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics. She was the sole winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and she is the only woman to win the award in two different fields.
From childhood she was remarkable for her prodigious memory, and at the age of 16 she won a gold medal on completion of her secondary education at the Russian lycee. Because her father, a teacher of mathematics and physics, lost his savings through bad investment, she had to take work as a teacher and, at the same time, took part clandestinely in the nationalist free university, reading in Polish to women workers. At the age of 18 she took a post as governess, where she suffered an unhappy love affair. From her earnings she was able to finance her sister Bronis?awas medical studies in Paris, with the understanding that Bronis?awa would in turn later help her to get an education.
In 1891 Sk?odowska went to Paris and, now using the name Marie, began to follow the lectures of Paul Appel, Gabriel Lippmann, and Edmond Bouty at the Sorbonne. There she met physicists who were already well knownJean Perrin, Charles Maurain, and Aime Cotton. Sk?odowska worked far into the night in her student quarters garret and virtually lived on bread and butter and tea. She came first in the licence of physical sciences in 1893. She began to work in Lippmanns research laboratory and in 1894 was placed second in the licence of mathematical sciences. It was in the spring of that year that she met Pierre Curie.
Their marriage (July 25, 1895) marked the start of a partnership that was soon to achieve results of world significance, in particular the discovery of polonium (so called by Marie in honour of her native land) in the summer of 1898 and that of radium a few months later. Following Henri Becquerels discovery (1896) of a new phenomenon (which she later called radioactivity), Marie Curie, looking for a subject for a thesis, decided to find out if the property discovered in uranium was to be found in other matter. She discovered that this was true for thorium at the same time as G.C. Schmidt did.
Turning her attention to minerals, she found her interest drawn to pitchblende, a mineral whose activity, superior to that of pure uranium, could be explained only by the presence in the ore of small quantities of an unknown substance of very high activity. Pierre Curie then joined her in the work that she had undertaken to resolve this problem and that led to the discovery of the new elements, polonium and radium. While Pierre Curie devoted himself chiefly to the physical study of the new radiations, Marie Curie struggled to obtain pure radium in the metallic stateachieved with the help of the chemist Andre Louis Debierne, one of Pierre Curies pupils. On the results of this research, Marie Curie received her doctorate of science in June 1903 and, with Pierre, was awarded the Davy Medal of the Royal Society. Also in 1903 they shared with Becquerel the Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery of radioactivity.
The birth of her two daughters, Irene and eve, in 1897 and 1904 did not interrupt Maries intensive scientific work. She was appointed lecturer in physics at the ecole Normale Superieure for girls in Sevres (1900) and introduced there a method of teaching based on experimental demonstrations. In December 1904 she was appointed chief assistant in the laboratory directed by Pierre Curie.The sudden death of Pierre Curie (April 19, 1906) was a bitter blow to Marie Curie, but it was also a decisive turning point in her career henceforth she was to devote all her energy to completing alone the scientific work that they had undertaken. On May 13, 1906, she was appointed to the professorship that had been left vacant on her husbands death, she was the first woman to teach in the Sorbonne. In 1908 she became titular professor, and in 1910 her fundamental treatise on radioactivity was published. In 1911 she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, for the isolation of pure radium. In 1914 she saw the completion of the building of the laboratories of the Radium Institute (Institut du Radium) at the University of Paris. .....
2. Maria Salomea Sklodowska was born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7, 1867. At that time, Warsaw lay within the borders of the Russian Empire. Marias family wanted Poland to be an independent country.We shall refer to Maria from now on as Marie Curie her name after marriage because that is how she is best known.Marie Curies mother and father Bronislawa and Wladyslaw were both teachers and encouraged her interest in science.When Marie was aged 10, her mother died and she started attending a boarding school. She then moved to a gymnasium a selective school for children who were strong academically. Aged 15, Marie graduated from her high school with a gold medal as top student and a burning interest in science. .....
3. Two obstacles now stood in Maries way
Her father had too little money to support her ambition to go to university.
Higher education was not available for girls in Poland .....
Two Polish Girls in Paris
4. To overcome the obstacles they faced, Marie agreed to work as a tutor and childrens governess to support Bronya financially. This allowed Bronya to go to France to study medicine in Paris.And so, for the next few years of her life, Marie worked to earn money for herself and Bronya. In the evenings, if she had time, she read chemistry, physics and math textbooks. She also attended lectures and laboratory practicals at an illegal free university where Poles learned about Polish culture and practical science, both of which had been suppressed by the Russian Tsarist authorities.In November 1891, aged 24, Marie followed Bronya to Paris. There she studied chemistry, mathematics and physics at the Sorbonne, Pariss most prestigious university. The course was, of course, taught in French, which Marie had to reach top speed with quickly.At first she shared an apartment with Bronya and Bronyas husband, but the apartment lay an hour away from the university. Marie decided to rent a room in the Latin Quarter, closer to the Sorbonne.This was a time of some hardship for the young scientist, winters in her unheated apartment chilled her to the bone. .....
Top Student Again
5. In summer 1893, aged 26, Marie finished as top student in her masters physics degree course. She was then awarded industrial funding to investigate how the composition of steel affected its magnetic properties. The idea was to find ways of making stronger magnets.Her thirst for knowledge also pushed her to continue with her education, and she completed a masters degree in chemistry in 1894, aged 27. .....
6. For a long time, Marie had been homesick. She dearly wished to return to live in Poland. After working in Paris on steel magnets for a year, she vacationed in Poland, hoping to find work. She found out that there were no jobs for her.A few years earlier, she had been unable to study for a degree in her homeland because she was a woman. Now, for the same reason, she found she could not get a position at a university. .....
Back to Paris and Pierre
7. Marie decided to return to Paris and begin a Ph.D. degree in physics.Back in Paris, in the year 1895, aged 28, she married Pierre Curie. Pierre had proposed to her before her journey back to Poland. Aged 36, he had only recently completed a Ph.D. in physics himself and had become a professor. He had written his Ph.D. thesis after years of delay, because Marie had encouraged him to.Pierre was already a highly respected industrial scientist and inventor, who, when aged just 21, had discovered the piezoelectric effect with his brother Jacques. Pierre was also an expert in magnetism, and he discovered the effect now called the Curie Point where a change of temperature has a large effect on a magnets properties. .....
Scientific Discoveries
8. The Ph.D. degree is a research based degree, and Marie Curie now began to investigate the chemical element uranium. .....
Discovery of Polonium Radium and a New Word
9. Marie and Pierre decided to hunt for the new element they suspected might be present in pitchblende. By the end of 1898, after laboriously processing tons of pitchblende, they announced the discovery of two new chemical elements which would soon take their place in Dmitri Mendeleevs periodic table.The first element they discovered was polonium, named by Marie to honor her homeland. They found polonium was 300 times more radioactive that uranium.The second element the couple discovered was radium, which they named after the Latin word for ray. The Curies found radium was several million times more radioactive than uranium! They also found radiums compounds were luminous and that radium was a source of heat, which it produced continuously without any chemical reaction taking place. Radium is always hotter than its surroundings. .....
Tragedy and Progress
10. The money from their Nobel Prizes made life easier for Marie and Pierre. For the first time, they could afford a laboratory assistant. Pierre took the Chair of Physics at the Sorbornne. The university also agreed to provide a new, well equipped laboratory for the couple. In 1904, Marie and Pierre had a second daughter, Eve.And then their happy life together came to an end. In 1906, Pierre was killed when he was hit by a horse drawn carriage in the street.Although distraught over her loss, Marie accepted the offer from the Sorbonne to replace Pierre as the Chair of Physics.Again, she was breaking the mold she had been first woman to win a Nobel Prize, now she was the first female professor at the University of Paris. .....
Nobel Prize for Chemistry
11. In 1910, Marie isolated a pure sample of the metallic element radium for the first time. She had discovered the element 12 years earlier.In 1911, she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for the discovery of the elements radium and polonium, the isolation of radium and the study of the nature and compounds of this remarkable element.Again, Marie Curie had broken the mold she was the first person to win a Nobel Prize in both physics and chemistry. In fact, she is the only person ever to have done this. .....
The Coming of War
12. During World War 1, 1914 1918, Marie Curie put her scientific knowledge to use. With the help of her daughter Irene, who was only 17 years old, she set up radiology medical units near battle lines to allow X rays to be taken of wounded soldiers. By the end of the war, over one million injured soldiers had passed through her radiology units. .....
One of the Greats
13. Marie Curie was now recognized worldwide as one of sciences greats. She traveled widely to talk about science and to promote The Radium Institute which she had founded to carry out medical research.Marie was one of the small number of elite scientists invited to one of the most famous scientific conferences of all time the 1927 Solvay Conference on Electrons and Photons. .....
14. Marie Curie became aware that the rays coming from radioactive elements could be used to treat tumors. She and Pierre decided not to patent the medical applications of radium, and so could not profit from it.In her later years, Marie Curies dearest wish was to explore the use of radioactivity in medical applications. To do this, she established the Radium Institute.At $120,000 per gram, radium was horrendously expensive millions of dollars in todays money. Marie Curie could only afford 1 gram of it for use in cancer therapies at the Radium Institute.In 1920, Marie gave an interview about her work at the Radium Institute to the American journalist Marie Mattingly Meloney, who was usually called Missy.
Missy asked Marie how she could help the Institute. Marie said that American chemical companies had now isolated 50 grams of radium. Her Institute desperately needed one more gram for medical research, but could not afford it.Missy returned to the USA and became Chair of the Marie Curium Radium Fund, with the aim of getting Marie Curie her 1 gram of radium. Money was raised in small donations all over the country. The Standard Chemical Company of Pittsburgh agreed to supply the radium at the reduced price of $100,000.On May 20th, 1921, President Warren G. Harding presented Marie with the radium in a lead lined steel box at the White House.Since then, the Radium Institute (it is now the called the Curie Institute) has gone from strength to strength. Three of its workers have been awarded Nobel Prizes Irene and Frederic Joliot Curie won the chemistry prize in 1935 and Pierre Gilles de Gennes won the physics prize in 1991. Irene was Marie and Pierres daughter. She shared the prize with her husband Frederic. The Curie Institute continues to do important research work today. .....
15. Marie next decided to test all of the known many chemical ores to see if any others would emit Becquerel rays. In 1898, she coined the term radioactive to describe materials that had this effect. Pierre was so interested in her research that he put his own work aside to help her. Together, they found that two ores, chalcolite and pitchblende, were much more radioactive than pure uranium. Marie suspected that these ores might contain as yet undiscovered radioactive elements.
Several tons of pitchblende were donated by the Austrian government, but the space Marie was using for a lab was too small. The Curies moved their research to an old shed outside of the school. Processing the ore was backbreaking work. New protocols for separating the pitchblende into its chemical components had to be devised. Marie often worked late into the night stirring huge cauldrons with an iron rod nearly as tall as her.
Little by little, various components of the ore were tested. The Curies found that two of the chemical components, one containing mostly bismuth and another containing mostly barium, were strongly radioactive. In July 1898, the Curies published their conclusion the bismuth compound contained a previously undiscovered radioactive element that they named polonium, after Marie's native country, Poland. By the end of that year they had isolated a second radioactive element they called radium, from radius, the Latin word for rays. In 1902, they announced success in extracting purified radium.In June 1903, Marie was the first woman in Europe to earn a doctorate in physics. In November of that year the Curies, together with Henri Becquerel, were named winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics for their contributions to the understanding of atomic structure. The nominating committee objected to including a woman as a Nobel Laureate, but Pierre insisted that the original research was Maries. In 1911, after Pierres death, Marie was awarded a second Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium. .....
16. Marie continued to do research in radioactivity. When World War I broke out in 1914, she suspended her studies and organized a fleet of portable X ray machines for doctors on the front.After the war, she worked hard to raise money for her Radium Institute, including a trip to the United States. But by 1920, she was suffering from medical problems, likely due to her exposure to radioactive materials. On July 4, 1934, she died of aplastic anemia, a blood disease that is often caused by too much exposure to radiation.Maries was buried next to Pierre, but in 1995, their remains were moved and interred in the Pantheon in Paris alongside France's greatest citizens.The Curies received another honor in 1944 with the discovery of the 96th element on the Periodic Table of the Elements, which was named curium. .....
Marie Curie quotes
17. Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less.
Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.
One never notices what has been done, one can only see what remains to be done.
There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth.
I am one of those who think like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries. .....
School in France
18. It took six years, but, after Bronislawa graduated and became a doctor, Marie moved to France and entered the Sorbonne. During the six years Marie had read a lot of books on math and physics. She knew she wanted to become a scientist.Marie arrived in France in 1891. In order to fit in, she changed her name from Manya to Marie. Marie lived the life of a poor college student, but she loved every minute of it. She was learning so much. After three years she earned her degree in Physics.In 1894 Marie met Pierre Curie. Like Marie, he was a scientist and the two of them fell in love. They married a year later and soon had their first child, a daughter named Irene. .....
New Elements
19. Marie and her husband spent many hours in the science lab investigating pitchblende and the new element. They eventually figured out that there were two new elements in pitchblende. They had discovered two new elements for the periodic table.Marie named one of the elements polonium after her homeland Poland. She named the other radium, because it gave off such strong rays. The Curies came up with the term radioactivity to describe elements that emitted strong rays. .....
Tough Times in Poland
20. As Marie grew older her family came upon tough times. Poland was under the control of Russia at the time. People were not even allowed to read or write anything in the Polish language. Her father lost his job because he was in favor of Polish rule. Then, when Marie was ten, her oldest sister Zofia became sick and died from the disease typhus. Two years later her mother died from tuberculosis. This was a difficult time for the young Marie.After graduating from high school, Marie wanted to attend a university, but this wasn't something that young women did in Poland in the 1800s. The university was for men. However, there was a famous university in Paris, France called the Sorbonne that women could attend. Marie did not have the money to go there, but agreed to work to help pay for her sister Bronislawa to go to school in France, if she would help Marie after she graduated. .....
Postwar years
21. In 1920, for the 25th anniversary of the discovery of radium, the French government established a stipend for her, its previous recipient was Louis Pasteur (1822 95) In 1921, Marie was welcomed triumphantly when she toured the United States to raise funds for research on radium. Mrs. William Brown Meloney, after interviewing Marie, created a Marie Curie Radium Fund and raised money to buy radium, publicising her trip.In 1921, US President Warren G. Harding received her at the White House to present her with the 1 gram of radium collected in the United States.Before the meeting, recognising her growing fame abroad, and embarrassed by the fact that she had no French official distinctions to wear in public, the French government offered her a Legion of Honour award, but she refused.In 1922 she became a fellow of the French Academy of Medicine. She also travelled to other countries, appearing publicly and giving lectures in Belgium, Brazil, Spain, and Czechoslovakia.Led by Curie, the Institute produced four more Nobel Prize winners, including her daughter Irene Joliot Curie and her son in law, Frederic Joliot Curie.Eventually, it became one of four major radioactivity research laboratories, the others being the Cavendish Laboratory, with Ernest Rutherford, the Institute for Radium Research, Vienna, with Stefan Meyer, and the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry, with Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner. In August 1922, Marie Curie became a member of the newly created International Commission for Intellectual Cooperation of the League of Nations.In 1923, she wrote a biography of Pierre, entitled Pierre Curie.In 1925, she visited Poland, to participate in the ceremony that laid foundations for the Radium Institute in Warsaw.Her second American tour, in 1929, succeeded in equipping the Warsaw Radium Institute with radium, it was opened in 1932 and her sister Bronis?awa became its director.These distractions from her scientific labours and the attendant publicity caused her much discomfort but provided resources needed for her work.In 1930, she was elected a member of the International Atomic Weights Committee where she served until her death. .....
22. Marie Curie died aged 66 on July 4, 1934, killed by aplastic anemia, a disease of the bone marrow. It is likely that the radioactivity she had been exposed to during her career caused the disease.Scientists are now much more cautious in their handling of radioactive elements and X rays than they were in the first few decades after their discovery. Marie Curies own books and papers are so radioactive that they are now stored in lead boxes, which may only be opened by people wearing protective suits. .....

When Divorced Parents Disagree About the COVID-19 Vaccine
Published August 31, 2021 By Kimberly Anderson
Categorized as Child Custody
There is a lot of disagreement about vaccinations for children and the argument between parents with differing views on this subject is not a new one. Illinois family law attorneys representing parents in this type of disagreement have worked throughout the years to avoid the problem in its entirety by addressing the issue of vaccination in the parenting agreement, now called an Allocation Judgment. A prior agreement on how to handle vaccinations will give clarity as parents deal with the COVID-19 vaccine.
COVID-19 Vaccine Questions from Divorced Parents
What If the Other Parent Will Not Get the COVID-19 Vaccine?
Is There a Way to Ensure My Child Will Be Vaccinated?
When the Other Parent Will Not Agree to Vaccinate our Child, What Can I Do?
What If I Already Have a Parenting Agreement In Place And I Need the Other Parent's Permission To Vaccine and They Refuse?
I Have Heard of People Talking About Parens Patriae." What Is That?
There are a number of questions and co-parenting issues surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine. Here are five of the most frequently asked questions we are seeing in our Chicago family law practice:
We just saw a judge in Cook County strip a mother of her parenting time because she had not received the COVID-19 vaccine. The parents were before the court on a child support matter and the judge asked the mother if she had been vaccinated. When she replied that she had not, the court on its own volition ordered that custody be transferred to the father. In that particular case, I believe that the judge's ruling will be overturned because of what we call "subject matter jurisdiction." There was no motion pending concerning the child's best interests, they were in court about child support. But the father's attorney surely realizes this and is likely filing a motion as we speak to modify custody. Once the appellate court reverses the trial court's ruling, the trial judge will have the opportunity to rule that it is in the child's best interest to have a vaccinated parent. If the mother still refuses to vaccinate, she will likely lose custody of her child.
I am surprised that there have not been more motions filed in court about one parent's refusal to vaccinate. I personally have had many questions posed to me concerning one parent's actions and refusal to wear masks and social distance. Early in 2021, since children seemed to be affected very little by COVID-19, I advised parents that I did not think the judge would do anything about a parent's refusal to social distance or wear a mask themselves. But now the COVID-19 vaccine is here and available and a parent's refusal to vaccinate is leading to a different result.
If you don't currently have a parenting agreement with the other parent, the drafting of this agreement will be very important when considering the COVID-19 vaccine for your child. Typically this provision will fall under medical decisions for the child and it is common that both parents have equal decision making when it comes to the child's medical needs. But spelling out exactly how each parent feels about vaccinations can be helpful to avoid future litigation. If you have the agreement written that vaccinations are considered "routine" decisions, then you would not have a violation of the agreement by getting your child vaccinated. You rarely have to make a joint decision about routine matters, you are allowed to do them unilaterally. But it is all in the drafting of the agreement. Major decisions will require the consent of the other parent, routine decisions do not.
On March 6, 2021, I discussed this exact problem regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. See https://www.instagram.com/tv/CMGHo1opjEn/. I have not seen a parent win the refusal to vaccinate their child argument in court. Everything before the court is based on the "best interests of the child" and in my opinion, there is very little disagreement amongst the justices on this issue. They always want the child vaccinated. Going down this slippery slope with the newest vaccine is not going to be treated any differently. The parents can vaccinate now, and once the children are allowed to be vaccinated, this argument will come front and center before the courts. I would be surprised if the justices decide that the parent refusing to vaccinate their child prevails. I do not think a change of custody will necessarily ensue, but I do believe the justices will decide that the parent wanting the vaccination will be allowed to vaccinate their child. Even against the wishes of the other parent.
If you already have a parenting agreement in place, and you need the other parent's agreement to vaccinate, the only thing you can do is file a motion to modify that provision in your agreement. Everything about the children will be decided in the best interests of the child, so if you can convince the court that the vaccine is in your child's best interest, then the judge will likely modify your agreement.
This is a doctrine that grants the state the right to protect people who are not able to act on their behalf. It is a very old doctrine, but one I still see argued in court. Once parents put their child in front of the judge, the judge is going to do what the judge feels is in the child's best interest. Sometimes over the objections of the parents.
But this is an issue that has very little middle ground. It is not like deciding if your pick-up time will be 9:00 AM or 10:00 AM. You and the other parent are either in favor or vaccination or you are not. It is hard to mediate that issue since both parents will have very strong feelings on the subject and it is hard to reach a compromise on the issue. If you cannot agree and it goes before the Court, I think the judge will rely on what the pediatrician has to say on the subject. If the pediatrician is stating that there is no reason for the child not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, then I believe the judge will rule in that manner and require the child to be vaccinated.

Should doctors be charged with murder when their prescriptions are linked to fatal overdoses?
It's one idea being considered in Central Florida as local officials and law-enforcement agencies wrestle with the prescription-drug epidemic sweeping the state.
"This is all about greed," said Orange-Osceola State Attorney Lawson Lamar. "These doctors prey on the weakness of these patients."
In the absence of clear direction — or action — fromTallahassee, "we've got to deal with this ourselves," Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation Director Phil Williams recently told a group made up of Orange County officials with a stake in the battle against the proliferation of prescription-drug abuse.
Unlike 35 other states, Florida doesn't have an operational database that tracks prescriptions doctors write for certain drugs, and those who are prescribed the drugs. Florida lawmakers adopted plans for one in 2009, but a bid dispute kept it from running.
It didn't help that Gov. Rick Scott was opposed to the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program for privacy reasons, prompting the White House and officials from other states to implore that he change his stance.
Florida lawmakers responded to the crisis this year by approving legislation aimed at cracking down on the state's so-called pill mills that was signed by Scott earlier this month.
It was a step forward, considering Scott had axed the state Office of Drug Control when he took office in January. Like the Orange County group, state leaders seem to be acknowledging the prescription-drug battle must be fought on several fronts.
"I truly see that this is not just a law-enforcement issue. It is one that our entire community, our entire society needs to embrace and understand," said Ken Tucker, assistant commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. "In order to deal with it, you have to take a multipronged approach. We can't arrest our way out of it."
When the Orange County work group met in April, it was the first time in Central Florida that law-enforcement, health-care, pharmacy and public-policy officials had gathered in one place to discuss their concerns.
Pharmacy representatives said they were frustrated by the lack of action taken against doctors who overprescribe, because they are the ones who come face to face with drugs addicts or traffickers looking to fill prescriptions after doctor shopping. Law-enforcement officials said they don't have the legislative tools needed to go after bad doctors or traffickers.
"I am impressed that we can bring together all of these different components of our community to solve a problem," Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs said. "I think we're absolutely on the right track."
Jacobs recently appointed her predecessor, Rich Crotty, to chair a new prescription-drug task force that will analyze Florida's new pill-mill law and also look at issues surrounding the county's moratorium on new pain-management clinics — a ban that will expire in December.
Jacobs said she wants to make sure that when the county's moratorium expires and the new state law takes effect, "that we're doing everything at a local level that we can to stop these pill mills — these clinics that clearly are not there to serve legitimate pain-management needs."
"We're not tolerating this in Orange County," Jacobs said. "It's not just a public-safety issue … this state, this community, cannot afford the continued reputation that we've developed in a very short period of time."
Though it will be significantly behind schedule, Florida's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is slated to debut in October. Supporters say it is one of the best tools for combating the prescription-drug epidemic.
Law enforcers say it will discourage doctor shopping and help officials catch doctors who overprescribe. The lack of one, until now, has fostered Florida's reputation as a state where dangerous, addictive prescription drugs are easy to come by.
Here's how the PDMP works: Anytime a prescription is dispensed for certain powerful, addictive pain and sedative medications, the doctor and the patient's name are entered into the database. Just the notion that the names and drugs are being tracked can serve as a deterrent, local and state officials say.
Scott's initial opposition to the PDMP outraged many across Florida and the nation.
"I, along with a host of national leaders, have expressed our continued frustration that an inordinate number of the drugs on Main Streets around the country are heralding from South Florida," said U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers, a Republican from Kentucky, the state that leads the nation in the nonmedical use of prescription drugs. "Florida's participation will be vital to the success of our nation in fighting this problem. We need to shut down this pipeline across state lines, and it is vital for Florida to move forward with its PDMP."
Many states — including Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee — have PDMPs; public officials there have lamented that their residents can come to Florida, where their drug purchases are not tracked.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, a former prosecutor elected to office in November, has championed the PDMP and tougher penalties for pill-mill operators and rogue doctors.
"The prescription-drug crisis is a tragic and far-reaching drug epidemic that Florida and many other states are facing," Bondi said. "Unfortunately, children and teenagers think that because these drugs are legal that they are not dangerous. Drugs like oxycodone … have surpassed illicit drugs in killing our youth."
Noting the rising death toll, some prosecutors across the country, including in South Florida, have charged doctors with murder when their prescriptions are linked to fatal overdoses. Prosecutors in some other states, including Nevada, have done this as well, though it is by no means a widespread practice.
It's a concept that Lamar said he would consider here — when he has the perfect case.
Central Florida law enforcement and the Medical Examiner's Office already know which doctors are associated with fatal overdoses.
When someone dies, the responding agencies gather clues — sometimes it's as obvious as a pill bottle or prescription. But the cases are complicated, and many thresholds have to be met before Lamar is willing to take that next step.
"It is murder," Lamar said. "These people don't die by a gunshot. They die by going to sleep."
Part 1: How did Florida become 'pill-mill' hotbed?


The Sacred Triduum is over, the voice is recovering, the dust is settling more serenely again in the abbey church and in the sacristy, the oil has dried on the confirmandi, a friend's welcome fleeting visit is now a pleasant memory, and the internet here is actually working today, so it seems timely to post.
Though it is a dreaded moment in many respects. The busy-ness of our Triduum has proved a welcome distraction from the Triduum as it unfolded in Rome. For in many ways the passing glances I directed Romewards dismayed me. No need to tell you why: the blogosphere has been abuzz with reactions to the papal Maundy Thursday Mass and mandatum in the juvenile penitentiary. What was there to react to? one might ask if still unaware of what transpired.
The very choice of location was both inspiring and dismaying. A juvenile prison is an apt place to find a Catholic pastor, even its Supreme Pastor. It was a striking reminder to us not to forget those at the margins of society and so easily forgotten, not least those young enough to be re-aligned to the right path in life. It was a striking reminder that Christ came to call sinners to repentance not to chill out with the saints, just as a doctor exists for the sick more than the healthy. That was inspiring – to see a pope wash prisoners' feet. But to go there for Maundy Thursday and the Mass of the Lord's Supper may be inspiring, but it is also problematic.
Whether he like it or not, Francis is Bishop of Rome, as he consistently reminds us; but for that very reason he is also pope. He is successor to Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and so is Supreme Pastor of the universal Church. A pope's role is not confined to the diocese of Rome, but encompasses, with varying degrees of intensity and activity, all the Church. It is possible to be a good Catholic without ever seeing the pope; it is not possible to be one without acknowledging his authority. Likewise, it is impossible to be a good pope without acknowledging ultimate earthly responsibility for the universal Church, whose servant the pope is.
So this brings us to why Pope Francis' Maundy Thursday evening was dismaying. He was not available to all the Church as he normally would be. His Mass was not, in any real sense, public, but private in the way Neo-Catechumenate liturgies are private: open only to a privileged few. There was no live coverage, and few photos (for obvious reasons of prison security and juvenile prisoner privacy). No one could have just walked in to attend the Mass, nor could anyone get a ticket for it. Even if one were to argue that such visibility to the universal Church is the recent product of modern technology, it still fails on a diocesan level. As Bishop of Rome Pope Francis did not lead his diocese in worship in one of the most important Masses for any diocese, one which celebrates the inauguration not only of the Blessed Eucharist, but of the ministerial priesthood. He was not available to his diocese even as he has been restricting his reference to his ministry to "Bishop of Rome". The argument that he had not yet taken possession of his cathedral (which I have been wielding in his defence) is a thin one: normally a new pope takes possession of the Lateran basilica within a few days of his inauguration. And he had three other basilicas to use!
It smacks of the the Jesuit preferential option for the poor. That in itself can be a noble posture. But it suits better a more unfettered Jesuit than a bishop, whose preferential option really must be for his diocese, and all its members. And it should be remembered that both Benedict XVI and Blessed John Paul II said Mass in the very same prison, though on days when they were free to celebrate anywhere, not on days when they were obliged to lead the worship in their cathedrals.
As it happens, the current Roman Catholic practice of performing the mandatum in parishes, even when restricted as it is to men, seem anamolous. Byzantine Catholics and the Orthodox restrict it to bishops washing the feet of 12 of their own priests. This, in fact, is the ideal way to commemorate the mandatum in its context of Maundy Thursday. It is possible, naturally, to perform the mandatum, outside the context of Maundy Thursday. In this freer context Pope Francis could wash anyone's feet, man or woman, Catholic or not, and in a far more public way. Indeed, as if to prove there is nothing new under the sun, "In the latter half of the twelfth century the pope washed the feet of twelve sub-deacons after his Mass and of thirteen poor men after his dinner" (Catholic Encyclopaedia). Could not Pope Francis follow this fine tradition?
Instead of choosing a context outside of the Mass of the Lord's Supper, Pope Francis has lamentably broken the clear liturgical law that only men's (viri) feet may be washed, and needless to say, these men should be Catholic. While the symbolic association of the mandatum with ordination at this Mass is an ancient tradition, it does not have the force of dogma. It is reformable. Pope Francis could have decreed that henceforth the mandatum were to be seen not as related to ordination, but to the lives of all who are admitted to receive from the altar of the Eucharist. Then, having abrogated the rubrics currently in force, he could legitimately have washed the feet of all and sundry, and been setting an unimpeachable example. Instead, he has set an example of breaking liturgical law without batting an eyelid or offering a justification for breaking the Church's laws. Even our Lord explained why he broke Jewish traditions (though I think the comparison with our Lord in this context is at best strained, and more likely plain invalid). A prominent canonist has argued along this lines from a canonical standpoint.
What made matters worse was the ham-fisted attempt by the Vatican Press Office to justify the Pope's actions after the event. You can read the statement and an analysis of it by Fr Z. In short the VPO attempted to argue that because the community was small and included women, and that majority would not have understood the traditional and legal way of performing the mandatum, then it was justifiable to do as Pope Francis did for these pastoral reasons. But our canonist unravels this line of argument very quickly and comprehensively: whether the gathering is large or small, the same legal principles apply – they are not determined by there mere size of a congregation; nor do principles only apply when everyone understands them fully; and that the dichotomy many try to erect between law and love, legalism and Christian liberty, is a false and dangerous one.
In the final analysis, for all its powerful symbolism of recognition of society's marginalised, the actions of Pope Francis had other effects and consequences, ones which are disturbing. One is that he effectively teaches that liturgy can be crafted and shaped ad hoc according to perceived didactic needs: the Mass as a teaching tool, and as belonging to each congregation. However, as the Church has always taught, the Mass is the property not a local community but the universal Church. It is by the common celebration of one liturgy (including its legitimate options) that the various local churches manifest their unity with each other and the universal Church. They do as the whole Church does, not as each would like to do any any given day.
in virtue of my ministry of confirming the brethren (cf. Lk 22:32) I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful.
Since the Church has no authority to ordain women, Pope John Paul II was similarly bound to accept that limitation (as is every pope after him). He had no authority to change it. Popes are infallible only in a strictly defined set of circumstances, pertaining to matters of faith and morals. Otherwise popes can, and have been, very fallible even in their Church governance. If they were not, how could so many saints in history (like St Catherine of Siena) have criticized them as the need arose? Yet, whether they speak infallibly or not, popes must be taken seriously in what they do and say. They cannot be lightly ignored. But sometimes they do get things wrong in the lower order of affairs. Lower or not, these can still be disruptive and unsettling. The pope is the Church's supreme lawmaker, but he is not thereby above the law. He might change a law, but until he does so he is no less bound by it than we are, despite what some prominent Catholic commentators might say to the press.
In his defence, Pope Francis is acting a way consistent with his practice as Archbishop of Buenos Aires. He is not suddenly playing to the cameras now that he has the international spotlight. What he must remember, though, is that he is no longer in Buenos Aires, but is Bishop of Rome, and the rules are very different now. He is even less free now to do as he pleases. All his actions must be ordered, first and foremost, to the ultimate good of the Church, and that ultimate good lies in heaven, not on earth.
Let us pray for Pope Francis that he righteous zeal might be more discerningly directed. And may God forgive my presumption.
Next Post **Blushes** I've been liebstered.
Is the Pope bound to the authority of the liturgical books? Yes, but remember that he also has the power of dispensation. There are things in the liturgy which are unchangeable–the use of bread and wine, for example–which not even the Pope can derogate from. But for the others–"merely ecclesiastical laws"–the Pope may dispense anyone from them. So, for example, before the Second Vatican Council, to say Mass a priest had to have use of his thumb and index finger to hold the host. The Jesuit Priest–now saint–Isaac Jogues had his fingers removed by the Mohawk Indians then living in Canada, whom he was trying to evangelize. The Pope at the time dispensed him from that liturgical law so that he might continue to say Mass.
"As a general rule, in the law one who has the power to dispense others has the power to dispense himself, unless explicitly prohibited from doing so. Here, the Pope clearly has the power to dispense from the rule that the washing of the feet be limited to men. In fact, he is the only authority with the power to do so, as the law explicitly reserves the regulation of the Sacred Liturgy to him. Since he has the power to dispense others, he can dispense itself.
Therefore, those who say the Pope somehow acted illicitly by washing the feet of women on Holy Thursday are simply wrong. He has the legal authority to do so, and such an action is completely legitimate.
I admire you for your stolid defence of Pope Francis, and indeed every good Catholic heart would seek first to defend the pope, whoever he might be. That has been my approach thus far, though I am finding it harder to maintain, as evidenced in this post.
However, I have to agree and disagree with you. Yes, the pope has the power to dispense even himself from merely ecclesiastical, and thus reformable, laws. However such a dispensation in such a case as this would have to be a public act of papal authority, and such is usually done in writing. There has been no public, specific act of dispensation, not even in word, let alone writing.
To dispense oneself on the fly, IF that is what the pope has done, seems almost to be an abuse, indeed a trivialization, of the power of dispensation. IF that is what he has done it is yet another area in which he needs to leave his Jesuit heritage behind and remember that he is now pope, and his actions count in more ways than he might realize.
If that be true, then I am afraid the Protestants might have a point!
"Whether he like it or not," Thanks for the subjunctive. Very good article which I will share, if you don't mind.
Thanks for this discussion. I cannot comment on the finer points of the theology, but I certainly think there is a practical issue here.
We need strong leadership from Pope Francis about the right way to do things, and also maybe we need an explanation of why it is the right way.
– open invitation for the foot-washing @ Maundy Thursday Mass, so some women did self-select and participate.
There is a strong focus on being inclusive and welcoming. No-one intentionally disregards the rules; but no-one seems to understand how important they are, or the theology which created them.
Everyone I spoke to was thrilled that Pope Francis had made such a powerful statement about being welcoming, inclusive and forgiving. None of us realised that he should have chosen a different Mass to make this statement.
Maybe it is ok for the Pope to change things to make a point. Probably he has reasoned, logical arguments for doing so.
But we actually need him to do things the right way; to lead by example and maintain unity.
How sad that some places such as your parish are regressing in to the bad old ways that did not work. I guess the problem is that too many will not see that they did not work, and in fact were highly detrimental to the life of the Church. Pope Francis has given such places and people a fillip, but it will not likely last long. Francis has some very un-PC ideas!
I agree that the Pope could change things to make a point; but the point is lost unless he explains it and justifies it. That is what we needed to hear. It is possible to honour church order and make a point. Early days, thank goodness, and he will learn how different the papacy is to being a normal diocesan bishop.
Fr. Hugh, thank you for this post. It is by far the best I have seen in the Catholic blogosphere on the subject. I also wonder Fr. if you know of if anyone knows if all those who had their feet washed also received the Lord in Holy Communion. It would be a very grave matter if they were allowed to do so or if any other non Catholics came forward to receive.
Thank you! You make me blush.
As to your question, I do not know, nor have I heard it mentioned. Footage of the Mass was quite restricted, so I am not sure if Communion fell under a camera's gaze. Certainly no one seems to have been complaining about inappropriate Communions, so I suspect the Pope kept to Church teaching on that one. We might allow ourselves to presume as much.
"pope" francis isn´t infallible, he isn´t even catholic, he´s a heretic.
Mmmm. I feel quite certain that Francis is not a formal heretic. Even if he were, I would be calm on a more general level because I know that Christ would not let any pope's peccadilloes lead the Church into error. This is one of those "bottom line" parts of the Catholic faith.
History shows that popes have been inadequate, some silly, some very imprudent, and some scandalously immoral. Yet we never have the right to do without them; the only Catholic response is to endure such popes, and to pray for them. Indeed I am convinced that when the Church is not zealous in praying for its pope, the papacy suffers.
Pope Francis has made so me decisions that are questionable certainly in terms of prudence, and unsettling in terms of policy. Yet he is a validly elected pope, and so pope he is. So we'd best be learning to live with him, and certainly to be praying for him.


In 2013, LargeNetwork built the concept, visual identity and promotional campaign for the CinéCivic competition, organized by the chancellery of Geneva to encourage young people to vote. Flyers, posters, and advertisements in theaters and on the Internet explained and promoted the competition to the public. The CinéCivic competition invited young people aged 18 to 25 to submit a film illustrating the importance of civic engagement. It is now renewed each year.

As part of our honeymoon trip to Vietnam, we arranged a 2-day bicycle tour of the Mekong Delta. We arranged it through one of Footprint Travel's (out of Ha Noi) managers named Son. Son and Footprint were wonderful, however, they outsource this tour to Sinh Balo (out of Saigon), so I will spend most of my time discussing Sinh Balo service. Our guide, Manh Ha, was wonderful. His English was great and he was very friendly.
The bikes were ok, I would call them commuter quality due to their age, though 100x better than what most of the locals were riding. They also said that the company just bought a bunch of new Trek 7000, so you may end up with something better. I would estimate that less than 5% of the ride had any car traffic at all, though motorbikes will go on any bicycle path. I felt very safe the whole ride.
Manh Ha picked us up at our hotel (the Park Hyatt in Dong Khoi) at 8am. First thing I noticed is that the Van had tons of cold bottled water. This made me happy. We then drove a few hours into the Mekong.
We biked along paths and a Meekong tributary for a while until we got to a "Factory". This was the only touristy place the whole 3 days (Manh Ha) warned us, but still appeared pretty authentic (just crowded with tours). We got to watch workers make rice paper, peanut brittle and poped rice. We then sat down for tea and candy (my wife's favorite part).
We then biked to an dock where we got on a private Asian motor boat that took us across the river to an Island where we immediately sat down at a nice riverside restaurant to whole elephant ear fish, fresh rolls, pork, rice and soup (food was included, drinks were about 15k dong). We then biked a while more and got on a ferry across the river to a bigger island and back on the van. Then back on the bikes where we biked over the Cần Thơ Bridge, the largest (by some definition) bridge in southeast Asia. We soon got on a little boat that took us to another island where they had arranged a homestay.
The homestay may have been the best part of the whole Honeymoon. The sign outside said "My Thuan". The host was three generations of a nice Viet family that was in the process of converting their small farm home into a rustic B&B. I believe they had four private guest rooms and one large room for groups. They also had showers (cold), western toilets (not always easy to find), a full size western mattress and mosquito netting. They made a total feast for us for dinner. We had two fried apps (they let us help cook them), elephant eat fish, lemongrass chicken and rice. They even remade the appetizer when my wife mentioned she didn't like pork.
Our host made eggs, bread and fruit for breakfast. Then we got on a boat around 7:30AM and headed to the big floating market.
The floating market was pretty interesting, though the best part was stopping to get pineapple on a stick. We then got back on the bikes for a little while. We biked by an 75-year old Viet man's house, Du Liem (the "Snake Man"). Our guide knew Mr. Lim and often stops when he is on a tour. We talked (translated by our guide) for a while and tried some of Du's homemade snake venom wine and some watermelon a Mr Lim. It was very interesting to hear Mr. Lim's perspective on the war.
The van then took us to Saigon (aka Ho Chi Minh) airport for our flight to Siem Reap. Note: I believe this tour may normally be 3 days, but we modified it to make a flight.

Online Mag Delivers Great New Writing From Israel
Review of Ilanot Review, Winter
Joshua Medsker
Cultural focus,
International,
The theme of this issue is "Foreign Bodies", and Ilanot Review explores this theme creatively and thoroughly. Ilanot Review is a new literary magazine out of Israel, publishing in English. My second favorite piece of the whole issue was a creative non-fiction piece (I hesitate to call it a story or a memoir) by Jennifer Bartlett, called "My Body is (the) Marginalia; The Sun Drawn a Saw Across the Strings". Creative is the key word here. Bartlett breaks rules of time, form, and whatever else she feels like... and the whole is more than satisfactory. It's a fractured and poignant personal story of dead friends, sexually questioning husbands, mentally ill parents, and much more--all packed tightly into few words. She pulls off the admirable trick of garnering sympathy without veering into excessive emotionality.
Diane Wakoski delivers a wonderful poem called, "Asking the Pizza Boy to Share a Cup of Gunpowder Tea". She likens poems to bullets of rolled-up leaves, and says, "Each leaf,/round as a tiny green pearl,/will explode/fresh in your mouth.". I suppose poetry bullets qualify as a foreign body!
Miriam Libicki weighs in with a really interesting series of non-fiction art pieces, "Strangers", the text of which was culled from a variety of sources. The pieces deal with Arab-Israeli relations and Middle-Eastern life, and are quite intense. The art is dreamy and makes good use of colors to convey the sense of lively, often chaotic lives. Very powerful and worth dipping into again and again.
Tamar Perla's "Babylove" starts out brutally, with the line, "Her ex calls again about their only daughter, the one they did not have," and gets more intense from there. I don't want to ruin the mystery for you, but the story is about a couple, and how their actual future turned out nothing like they had hoped.
The cornerstone of this issue, for me, was Annie Kantar's interview with Joy Ladin, a poet, memoirist, and professor at New York City's Yeshiva University, who discussed her struggles as a newly transitioned trans-woman teaching at an Orthodox Jewish university. While Ladin is not orthodox herself, she says she experienced a mighty backlash from the orthodox community, which although expected, still stung. She details this in her memoir, Through the Door of Life; A Jewish Journey Between Genders. She says that her talks and writings about her experiences have gone a long way to easing her pain, and giving comfort to others is a big part of her process.
She says a large part of the orthodox life revolves around community, and that that is a double-edged sword for trans Jews. She believes that this discomfort comes from human prejudices, rather than religious teachings, however. She says, "The Torah, of course, commands us to not only endure but embrace this discomfort, to 'know the heart of the stranger because we were strangers,' to love others as we love ourselves. Those are great ideals, but they run directly counter to the way communities actually work."
I can't even imagine struggling with such a life-changing decision, only to be shunned by your community. It's a testament to her thoughtfulness and inner strength that she continues to fight these misunderstandings and prejudices with such grace. Even more important, she takes her experiences and (in a way) attempts to universalize them through her poetry and other writings. I cannot say enough good things about this piece.
The editors did a bang-up job of picking their authors for this issue, and, as I said before, the theme of Foreign Bodies is explored in a variety of unique and surprising ways. The current version of Ilanot Review was founded in 2011, having previously only published student work at Bar-Ilan University. This is a tangent, but the only drawback I found with Ilanot Review is that the work was so intimate and interesting that on several occasions I wanted to have a paper issue to bend up, mark up, and huddle around a warm coffee with. Sometimes an electronic journal just isn't enough.

When Veterans request care right away, VA will assess the level of urgency and respond with any of the following steps: providing an in-person visit, providing a telehealth or video care visit, responding and sharing information by secure email, or scheduling a future appointment.
* For more information, other options for care, and how wait times are calculated click here.
How do we calculate wait times if you are new to the VA or new to a particular clinic?
If you are new to the VA, new to a particular clinic, or you are referred back to a particular clinic where you have not been seen in the last two years, then your wait time is equal to the number of days between the day that you request an appointment and the date of your appointment. For example: if you call to schedule an appointment for a new clinic on a Wednesday, and you are scheduled for an appointment on the following Tuesday, then your wait time is equal to 6 days.
How do we calculate wait times if you are not new to VA and need to be seen for a return appointment in a particular clinic?
How often is this wait time data updated?
This wait time data is updated weekly, based on a rolling 30 day average.
How and when do I receive a return appointment in a particular clinic?
You have the opportunity to discuss a return appointment with your provider prior to the end of your appointment. If a return appointment is indicated, then you and your provider request a date for the return appointment and you can schedule this appointment with the scheduler.
What types of clinics can I call directly to schedule my own appointment?
You may call to schedule your own appointment in primary care, mental health, podiatry, nutrition, wheelchair/mobility, amputee, audiology (for ear care), and optometry (for eye care) without a referral. For most other services, you will need a referral from your primary care physician. VA is working to increase the clinics where referral from Primary Care will no longer be needed.
Why is my actual wait time different from what is listed on this website?
Wait times reported on this map represent an average over the total number of appointments for a particular clinic specialty at a facility (either a medical center or a community-based outpatient clinic) experienced by patients over a rolling 30 day period. Because the number that displays on your map is an average, your personal wait time may be shorter or longer depending on day-to-day variation in availability of appointments.
Furthermore, in some cases, when a small number of new patient appointments occur in a given 30 day period, the average wait time for new patient appointments may be long due to a patient's preference to schedule their appointment into the future, rather than as soon as possible. This is another reason why the actual wait time may be different from what is listed on this website.
Patients are encouraged to double check directly with their clinic sites of interest to obtain the most accurate current wait time for an appointment.
What types of facilities can I get same-day services for primary care and mental health?
We are proud to offer same-day services in primary care and mental health at every medical center. Medical centers are full hospitals that have either emergency rooms or urgent care, many types of clinics, and allow patients to stay overnight in the facility if they are too sick to go home. Community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs) are outpatient clinics that may not have the full set of services that a medical center has. Same-day services are now also available at many CBOCs. Same-day services are not currently guaranteed for other specialties.
What exactly do you mean by "same-day services" for primary care and mental health?
Our same-day services guarantee for (for all medical centers and many CBOCs) says the following: "When you contact us, we will either address your need that day or schedule appropriate follow up care, depending on the urgency. We may address your health care need by providing a face to face visit, returning a phone call, arranging a telehealth or video care visit, responding by secure email, or scheduling a future appointment."
What does it mean when it says "No New Appointments" or "No Return Appointments" under Average Wait Time?
This terminology is used when there are zero "new" or "return" patient appointments completed in a given month.

Synopsis
The film has traditional popular melodrama plot elements, and includes performances of tango songs.
It depicts a family whose members are obsessed with the three national berretines (interests or hobbies) of tango, football and cinema.
(In the play the last berretín was radio.).
The family is middle class and makes its living from a hardware store.
The father complains that the hobbies lead the family to neglect business.
