NEW YORKIE VALUES

7

Mike Keefe / Cagle Cartoons

Raging Moderate by Will Durst

To taunt his rival and sow seeds of evangelical doubt, Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz informed Donald Trump that the rest of the country was concerned about his alarming New York Values, totally ignoring the greater danger of the real estate developer’s aerodynamic coif toppling over and knocking innocent supporters unconscious with its hard candy shell.

The jibe was designed as a sly, wink-wink, nudge-nudge attack resurrecting deeply buried stereotypes about urban areas that also managed to carry a faint whiff of racism and anti-Semitism. It’s a dog-whistle the size of the Louisiana Purchase on steroids.

This geographic schism has been celebrated in literature for centuries and elevated to a hoary trope by politicians in order to highlight their imagined connection to real rural folk. But if Cruz is the country mouse and Trump the city mouse, a lot of people are rooting for large herds of feral cats to make a speedy entrance.

It’s an age-old rivalry. The difference between paths and sidewalks. Simplicity and glamor. Open spaces or 24-hour supermarkets. Porches versus high-rises. Red and blue. Mosquitoes and muggers. Meadows and low-fat caramel macchiatos.

But is it fair to make sweeping generalizations solely based on longitude and latitude? Well, yes, it is. So, besides New York, what other clichés and prejudices do our little minds instantly make when presented with specific locales? Glad you asked.

New Yorkie Values involve a lot of yipping and the sound of toenails scratching on linoleum.

New Jersey Values are almost exactly like New Yorkie Values but with bigger hair.

New Mexico Values boil every question down to whether it goes better with red or green chilies.

New Orleans Values mean partying like there’s no tomorrow and encourages yesterday to bleed into tomorrow and the next day.

New Hampshire Values believe in not just the electric chair, but electric bleachers.

New England Patriots Values mean doing anything and everything to win, including the blurring of boundaries that lesser competitors might consider “the rules.”

New Balance Values take into account sneakers and sneaker accessories.

New Zealand Values revolve around sheep and sheep accessories including effluvium.

New Caledonia Values indicate the matrix that occurs when French culture meets the remote South Pacific. Think Tahiti without all the hustle and bustle.

New Delhi Values include not just the hustle and bustle but also cows and cow effluvium where you least expect them.

Washington DC Values are a mix of New Yorkie Values, New England Patriots Values and New Delhi Values.

Hollywood Values are reduced to, “Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me.”

Florida Values are indicative of folks who think just plain crazy is not giving it your all.

Texas Values mostly have to do with barbecue, guns and executing people, not necessarily in that order.

Wisconsin Values are totally measured by how the Green Bay Packers are doing. And cheese.

Arkansas Values are more family oriented, and totally understand that fathers can be uncles at the same time.

San Francisco Values are indicative of a tolerance for almost anything, except the intolerant. That we cannot abide.

Berkeley Values are not as restrictive as San Francisco Values.

Madison Values are similar to Berkeley Values but mitigated by snow and cheese and the Packers.

Maine Values are none of your business.

St. Mary’s Medical Center is Among Top 5% of Hospitals in Clinical Outcomes in Nation 

St. Mary’s Medical Center announced today that it has received the Healthgrades 2016 Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellenceâ„¢. This distinction puts St. Mary’s Medical Center in the top five percent of more than 4,500 hospitals nationwide for its clinical performance as measured by Healthgrades.  Healthgrades is the leading online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals. St. Mary’s is part of Ascension, the nation’s largest Catholic and non-profit health system.

“We are honored to be recognized among the top hospitals in the nation for our clinical performance and the care we provide to patients. This recognition by a respected organization like Healthgrades is a testament to the hard work, dedication and contributions of every St. Mary’s associate and member of our medical staff,” said Keith Jewell, President of St. Mary’s Health.  “We value the trust our patients and their loved ones place in us as we continue to deliver exceptional healthcare and a superior patient experience, the St. Mary’s experience.”

Nationally, 260 hospitals out of 1,485 eligible hospitals were recognized as recipients of the Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence Award. St. Mary’s is among the top five percent of hospitals in the nation with high quality care across at least 21 of 32 common inpatient conditions and procedures, as evaluated by Healthgrades. * In the Evansville, Indiana and Kentucky area, St. Mary’s is the only hospital recognized as a recipient of the Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence Award.

“When it comes to hospital selection, two of the most important questions to consider are where you are most likely to have a complication-free hospital stay and which hospital offers the best chance of survival, both during the hospital stay and in the weeks that follow,” said Evan Marks, Chief Strategy Officer, Healthgrades. “Selecting a hospital that has achieved Healthgrades 2016 Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence award is one way to be confident that you will receive the right care.”

The 260 recipients of the Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence™ stand out among the rest for overall clinical excellence across a broad spectrum of care. During the 2016 study period (2012-2014), these hospitals showed superior performance in clinical outcomes for patients in the Medicare population across at least 21 of 32 of the most common inpatient conditions and procedures —as measured by objective performance data (risk-adjusted mortality and in-hospital complications).

Justices: Officer Could Open Container Found After Pat-Down Search

Justices: Officer Could Open Container Found After Pat-Down Search

By Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com

A police officer did not commit an unreasonable search when he opened a pill container found following a pat-down search after a man was lawfully placed under arrest for driving without a valid license. The Indiana Supreme Court upheld the search under the state constitution.

An Indianapolis police officer made a routine traffic stop of Antonio Garcia’s car for driving without his lights on. The officer discovered Garcia only had a foreign identification card and placed him under arrest. Before transporting him, the officer conducted a quick pat-down search, in which he discovered a pill container in Garcia’s pocket. He opened it and found one narcotic pill. When it was discovered Garcia did not have a prescription for the pill, he was charged with possession of a schedule III controlled substance as a Class D felony. He was convicted on the charge, but the Court of Appeals reversed.

Garcia did not dispute that the search of his person was permissible as a search incident to his arrest, but contested the scope. While the pill container found could be seized, he claimed that the officer needed a warrant or reasonable suspicion of illegal activity to open the container.

“After consideration of the three Litchfield factors and federal precedent on this very issue, we disagree. In the present case, opening the container found on Garcia’s person during the course of a search incident to a valid arrest was reasonable under the Indiana Constitution,” Justice Steven David wrote.

David also cited United States v. Robinson, 414 U.S. 218 (1973), in which the U.S. Supreme Court held the authority to search incident to arrest does not depend “upon what a court may later decide was the probability in a particular arrest situation that weapons or evidence would in fact be found upon the person of the suspect.”

In Robinson, police conducted a traffic stop and lawfully arrested the driver for operating a motor vehicle after having his license revoked. During a pat-down search of the driver, the officer felt an object in a coat pocket, which was a cigarette pack. The officer opened the packet and discovered what was later determined to be heroin.

“Although the federal interpretation of reasonable searches under the Fourth Amendment is not binding upon this Court’s reasonableness analysis under Article 1, Section 11 of the Indiana Constitution, in the present situation, we reach the same conclusion. Under Article 1, Section 11, opening a container found on the person of an arrestee in the course of a search incident to valid arrest will not automatically be deemed unreasonable. In the present case, the search of the container found on Garcia’s person during the course of a pat-down search was reasonable under Article 1, Section 11,” David wrote.

Justice Robert Rucker concurred in result only in Antonio Garcia v. State of Indiana, 49S05-1505-CR-335.
