Keeping York healthy starts with access to medication
In recent years, pharmacies across Pennsylvania, including here in York County, have been closing at an alarming rate. A 2025 investigation found 800 licensed pharmacies have shut down in Pennsylvania since 2020, widening health disparities and reducing access to essential medication. These closures hit hardest in rural and underserved neighborhoods, where residents already face non-medical health challenges like transportation, financial constraints, and gaps in insurance coverage.

Wisconsin Badgers Football: Bye Week Edition – What Are We DOIN Here?!
If you’re like me and spend more time on ESPN’s website than you do on your work company’s intranet page – you may have looked at the AP and Coaches polls for college football this week. It’s not surprising to Wisconsin Badgers football fans that we’re not in the top 25 right now. But all things considered, Wisconsin has had a decent season through four weeks – with our only loss coming at Washington State, a team that is currently ranked 16th in the country.
Coolest Latin Legal Phrases
I can remember a week of depositions about 15 years ago in the basement of Bill Vine’s law firm. It was a large medical malpractice action with five different sets of defendants and about eight lawyers sitting around the table. We had been going on for about two days deposing family members of the injured Plaintiff and were finishing up with her father, who had been under examination for about 6 hours. The poor guy was exhausted.
Most Famous (Infamous) Trials
This month’s Top Ten List is the Top Ten Most Famous (Infamous) Trials in American History. Please remember these rankings are entirely subjective (if you want to disagree, write and submit your own column) Admittedly, important trials such as that of Claus von Bulow, the Nuremburg trials, and the court martial of William Calley, to name a few, did not make this subjective cut.
Worst Movie Lawyers
Last month I tried to list the top ten movie lawyers of all time. Shortly after DICTA went to print, I found myself up late at night re-watching, Judgment at Nuremburg. I could not believe that I failed to include Maximillian Schell, as defense counsel Hans Rolfe, on my list of best attorneys in film. He probably makes my top three. For those unfamiliar, is the semi-fictionalized account of the Judges’ Trial at Nuremburg in 1947 which sought to convict Nazi-era judges for war crimes.

Church Decline and Recovery During COVID-19, Part 2
Most of us are aware of the effects of COVID on our home church. Many of us have heard accounts of various other churches through conversations with friends and colleagues.

Church Decline and Recovery During COVID-19
“Are people going to return to church after COVID?” This question, on the minds of pastors everywhere, is at the heart of the National COVID-19 Church Attendance Project (NCCAP). Posed directly to one of us by his brother, a pastor himself, it served as the genesis for this project. Most of us are aware of the effects of COVID on our home church.

Easiest Way To Fail In SaaS
SaaS systems fail all the time. In fact, if a SaaS is run by an owner or company with no experience in SaaS, it is overwhelmingly likely that it will crash and burn. Often due to a single, simple problem. It’s so simple – which is why I’ve dubbed it the “easiest way to fail”.

A lot of people and companies who want to get involved in SaaS development are operating under a faulty premise: that SaaS is this sort of magical passive income source and that they can just build the product and start making money.

LETTER: State overstepped with hockey incident
By Jason Long Today at 7:00 a.m. To the editor: As a parent of a Mitchell Marlins varsity-JV player, I have remained subdued throughout this debacle, giving the process its due diligence and time.

This incident happened after practice was in a locker room between two consenting players. It is no different than if these boys squared up in a city park or a backyard.
How do we educate the next generation of emergency physicians: RCEM 50
The training needs of the next generation are based on the needs of the population they serve.1 These are the basis for curricula and each developed Emergency Medicine (EM) system has one.

This is happening in Australasian, Canadian and now UK EM education.

How to get keyhole gardens to fit my rectangular veggie patch?
posted 9 years ago Number of slices to send: Optional 'thank-you' note: Yeah, sounds like a dumb question but I'm very serious. But my veggie patch is about 25' x 50'. Has always been planted in rows. I've been reading the benefits of keyholes. I just can't get my mind to wrap around this one.
