Today is the first day of Passover which coincides this year almost exactly with Easter.This is no accident since they are exactly the same holiday, or at least once were since almost all the first Christians and and Jesus himself were Jewish.The differences that have arisen since then are too numerous and harrowing to recount in detail but one of the major discrepancies is due to the different calendars lunar versus solar.

Seniority

Courts & Law What does the junior Supreme Court justice do? Kagan tells Gorsuch it starts in the kitchen By Robert Barnes April 9 at 6:29 PM ____________________________________________________ SENIORITY 'The Supreme Court is a place that runs on seniority' according to the the Justices --and they should know , but take it from me--though I'm hardly an authority-- in the outside world -- this is rarely so. Young women, of course, know this all too well and panic at the sight of a wrinkle or hair turning gray often spending fortunes on whatever others may sell to postpone their senescence for another day While politicians, too, at least as clever , will do almost anything to hang on to power but even they can not rule forever and eventually too must have their final hour. Ah, that the rest of us could just grow old without our being either bought or sold ! HzL, 3/10/17 ________________________________________ No one could have known it at the time, but at the end of last summer, Justice Elena Kagan gave Neil M. Gorsuch a face-to-face tutorial on what it means to be the Supreme Court’s newest justice. It starts in the kitchen. “I’ve been on the cafeteria committee for six years. (Justice) Steve Breyer was on the cafeteria committee for 13 years,” Kagan said at a Colorado event where she was being interviewed by Gorsuch and Timothy M. Tymkovich, chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. [Trump picks Colorado appeals court judge for Supreme Court] Gorsuch and Tymkovich both were on President Trump’s list of potential Supreme Court nominees at the time, and it just so happened that they asked what it was like to be the most junior justice. Kagan is a storyteller, and knows this is a topic that audiences usually eat up, so she played it for all it was worth. The junior justice has three unique responsibilities, she said. But in recounting them, she always starts with the fact that the newest justice is assigned to cafeteria duty and keeps it until the next justice is confirmed. [Gorsuch’s impact might be felt immediately] “I think this is a way to kind of humble people,” she said during the “fireside chat” at the elegant Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs. “You think you’re kind of hot stuff. You’re an important person. You’ve just been confirmed to the United States Supreme Court. “And now you are going to monthly cafeteria committee meetings where literally the agenda is what happened to the good recipe for the chocolate chip cookies.” The justices eat lunch together on the days when they hear oral arguments, Kagan explained. “Somebody will say, ‘Who’s our representative to the cafeteria committee again?’ Like they don’t know, right? And then they’ll say, ‘This soup is very salty.’ And I’m like supposed to go fix it myself?” You might guess it was not the first time Kagan has told the story. But, as she says, she’s worried about the cookies and the soup since 2010--her biggest contribution has been to install a frozen yogurt machine--so who would begrudge her?

Good MEDICINE may be bad ECONOMICS

Good MEDICINE may be bad ECONOMICS (From today's Wall Street Journal and MARKETWATCH in the articles cited below) "Hepatitis C drugs usually cure patients in a single course of treatment. That is great news for the patients; but is a different business proposition than for drugs for chronic diseases." Gilead has accumulated more than $45 billion in cumulative revenue since 2013 but patients are becoming fewer. ADVICE TO DOCTORS AND DRUG COMPANIES When you have expenses, I say discreetly, as well as too many bills to pay beware of curing your patients completely-- it's better if they'll return another day. So give lots of encouraging advice as well as comfy messages and perks but you'd better think at least twice before doing something that REALLY works. Of course, psychiatrists have known this for years, so they'll alleviate --but rarely dispel -- fears. However, if you can't avoid using a "breakthrough" drug that works too well, you should at least be quite sure to make it expensive as Hell.
