Adjacent segment disease (ASD) following spinal fusion is a well-described and much studied phenomenon.1 Efforts to mitigate the problem with total disk arthroplasty have not been very successful, with lumbar disk replacement falling out of favor and cervical disk replacement having mixed results in terms of reducing ASD. While ASD is known to develop at rates of 2-4% per year, risk factors for its development have not been clearly defined. As such, Dr. Mroz and his colleagues elected to retrospectively review 137 lumbar fusion patients in order to determine risk factors for developing ASD. They identified thirteen patients (9%) who underwent a revision surgery at an adjacent level (ASD group), with a mean duration to reoperation of 21 months. The 124 patients who did not develop ASD (non-ASD group) had a mean follow-up of 14 months. They performed both univariate and multivariate analysis in order to identify patient characteristics and surgical factors that affected the rate of ASD. The multivariate analysis revealed that antidepressant use (OR=5.4), degenerative scoliosis (OR=34.2), and undergoing L4-S1 fusion (OR=56.5) were all independent risk factors for developing ASD, while an increased sacral slope was protective. Previous studies had identified a decompression cranial to the fusion as a risk factor for ASD,2 but in the current study, none of the 13 ASD had a decompression above the fusion. Another study also suggested that a complete laminectomy at the cranial vertebra of the fusion also increased the risk of ASD,3 but that was not found to be a risk factor in the current study.
The authors have identified an interesting group of risk factors for the development of ASD following lumbar fusion. These factors include patient, disease, and surgical characteristics. While the paper represents a good effort to answer an important question—are there modifiable risk factors that predispose patients to developing ASD?—it has significant limitations that must be considered when interpreting the results. The major limitation was the small sample size and relatively short follow-up. While 137 patients were included, this is not sufficient to study an outcome that occurs at a rate of 4% per year if only 2 years of follow-up are available. Despite the fact that only 13 patients were in the ASD group, the authors did identify a few factors that were significant predictors of ASD. It comes as no surprise that degenerative scoliosis patients are at risk given that surgeons will frequently not include the entire curve in the fusion, which puts the adjacent, scoliotic levels at risk. Depressed patients frequently have less ability to cope with pain and may be more likely to seek surgical treatment for ASD. Having an L4-S1 fusion coverts L3-L4 to the most caudal lumbar motion segment, and this level seems particularly susceptible to ASD. While most of these factors are not modifiable, understanding how they play a role in ASD could affect how surgeons select their surgical procedures or counsel patients. Before drawing any strong conclusions that change practice, a larger study is needed with a higher number of ASD patients. Such a study would provide more power to evaluate the potential risk factors and yield much tighter confidence intervals around the odds ratios.

Cervical fusion for degenerative disk disease (DDD) and axial neck pain remains controversial. While some observational studies have suggested reasonably good outcomes with cervical fusion for this indication, others have reported high rate of persistent neck pain. There is scant literature comparing outcomes between DDD and radiculopathy patients following cervical fusion. To address this, Dr. Faour and colleagues from Case Western performed a retrospective cohort study using the Ohio worker's compensation (WC) database to compare return to work (RTW) rates between DDD and radiculopathy patients who underwent a cervical fusion following a work-related injury. They identified 2,208 patients in the database who had undergone a single level cervical fusion between 1993 and 2011 and carried a diagnosis of either DDD or radiculopathy. A large majority (n=1,927) had a diagnosis of radiculopathy, while the remaining 281 were classified as DDD. Over 99% underwent an anterior fusion, with a handful undergoing a posterior or AP fusion. The DDD patients were about 3 years older, more likely to have a psychiatric diagnosis, be on narcotic pain medication, be on permanent disability or to be out of work for over 6 months prior to surgery. The authors found that significantly more radiculopathy patients returned to work for at least a 6 month stint over the 3 years following surgery compared to the DDD patients (63% vs. 51%). Even after controlling for potential confounders (i.e. psychiatric diagnosis, narcotic use, etc.), DDD as a diagnosis remained a strong independent predictor of not returning to work (OR=0.61).They reported similar findings for RTW at 1 year. There were no differences in complications between the two diagnostic groups.
The authors should be congratulated for performing a high quality database study that provides some of the only data comparing outcomes between cervical DDD and radiculopathy patients undergoing cervical fusion. While the DDD group was much smaller than the radiculopathy group, the differences in RTW were very statistically significant, even after controlling for important confounders. This study confirms what most spine surgeons have suspected on this topic, namely that DDD patients who undergo cervical fusion do not do as well as radiculopathy patients. The major limitation was that the study did not report patient reported outcomes. However, RTW is a complex variable that is typically not sensitive for detecting differences in outcomes (i.e. in the SPORT disk herniation study, there were no differences in RTW between the surgery and non-operative groups despite markedly better patient reported outcomes in the surgery group1), so differences in RTW rate likely reflect a meaningful difference in the patients' outcomes. Depending on ICD-9 codes for classifying the indication for surgery is potentially problematic, however, if the misdiagnosis was random, this would obscure rather than amplify differences. The overall 3 year RTW rate of 60% following cervical fusion is not stellar, and patients need to understand they may not be able to RTW even after a technically successful surgery. Cervical DDD remains a questionable indication for fusion, particularly among the WC population. Future prospective studies should compare patient reported outcomes between cervical DDD and radiculopathy patients following fusion.

Increasing the value of care is a high priority in healthcare systems across the world. This can be accomplished by improving quality or decreasing costs while holding the other variable constant. In many situations, decreasing cost while maintaining quality is the easier route to increasing value. Much has been written about cost variation at the institution or regional level, with less literature focusing on physician level data. In spine surgery, many decisions that affect cost are made at the surgeon level, so using the surgeon as the unit of analysis is important to understanding and ultimately changing behavior that drives cost. Dr. McGuire and colleagues from Boston performed a cost analysis looking at variation among seven surgeons for ACDF, lumbar discectomy, lumbar laminectomy, and posterior lumbar fusions. Only one and two level elective procedures were included. They categorized costs as those associated with inpatient stay, operating room, supplies/instrumentation, anesthesia, or others. They performed unadjusted analyses looking at costs at the individual procedure level and also reported results from an analysis adjusted for patient and procedure characteristics across all four procedures. In the unadjusted analyses, costs varied among surgeons between 30% and 40% for ACDF, lumbar discectomy, and lumbar laminectomy. Greater variation was observed for posterior lumbar fusion, where costs varied over 80% ($12,000 for the least costly surgeon to $22,000 for the most costly). The adjusted analyses showed approximately 30% variation among the surgeons when all four procedures were combined. The mean procedure cost was $8,800, with the least costly surgeon accruing costs $1,400 less than the mean and the most costly $800 above the mean. Not surprisingly, instrumentation made up the majority of the cost for the fusion procedures. Inpatient stay and OR costs were the major contributors to the cost of the non-fusion procedures. The cause of variation differed across surgeons though tended to be related to either instrumentation or OR costs.
This study represents a novel approach to looking at spine surgery costs at the individual surgeon level. Given that most cost decisions are made at this level, it is a natural place to look to find targets for cost reduction due to unnecessary variation. The modest level of inter-surgeon variation was actually somewhat surprising given the much greater levels of variation reported in prior studies.1 This low level of variation may reflect previous standardization efforts at this institution, to which the authors alluded. While this paper looks at cost at a relatively detailed level, even more specific data like what goes into "OR costs" would be helpful. One can assume this is driven by time spent in the OR, but it would have been helpful to have this explained in greater detail. The greatest driver of cost variation seems to have been lumbar instrumentation. The authors could have performed an even more detailed analysis to determine if this was being driven by variation across implant manufacturers or across type of instrumentation the surgeon elected to use (i.e. interbody devices, percutaneous vs. open pedicle screws, etc.) The most modifiable factors that affect cost are likely instrumentation and inpatient stay. Instrumentation costs can be reduced by going to a single vendor or having the institution set price caps for different implants. Inpatient stay costs can be addressed by performing procedures like lumbar discectomy and single level laminectomy as outpatient procedures. The authors (and surgeons included in the study) should be applauded for being willing to look at cost at the surgeon level. We look forward to a follow-up study that reports on how these data was used to change specific behavior and reduce unnecessary variation in cost.

Patients frequently ask spine surgeons about their likelihood of returning to work after undergoing a cervical or lumbar fusion, and surgeons frequently answer based on their anecdotal experience. Given that this is such an important topic to many patients, it would be nice to have firm data with which to answer the question. Dr. Bohl and his colleagues from Chicago retrospectively reviewed post-operative functional capacity examination (FCE) findings for 71 minimally invasive TLIF and 102 ACDF patients who had filed worker's compensation claims. They stratified patients according to pre-operative work demand (sedentary/light, medium, or heavy/very heavy) and then classified their outcome according to their post-operative work capacity according to their FCE after being declared at maximum medical improvement. Among TLIF patients, only 37% met their preoperative work requirements, compared to 54% of ACDF patients. Not surprisingly, the strongest predictor of meeting preoperative work requirements was the preoperative work demand. While 78% of TLIF patients and 92% of ACDF patients who had sedentary or light job requirements returned to at least this level of function post-operatively, only 26% of TLIF and 27% of ACDF patients with heavy or very heavy job requirements returned to this level of function. In multivariate analysis, age also predicted returning to one's preoperative work capacity for ACDF patients (younger patients were more likely to attain their preoperative work status), while no other factors were predictive for TLIF patients.
The author should be applauded for providing firm numbers to answer a frequently encountered clinical question. Their straightforward analysis now allows surgeons to have frank discussions with injured workers pre-operatively about their likely post-operative work capacity. It is important for patients with heavy work demands to understand that there is only about a 25% chance of them returning to that level of function following either a lumbar or cervical fusion. Conversely, patients with light work demands should be optimistic about being able to return to their previous level of work following surgery. Return to work after surgery is a highly complex outcome, with patient, employer, biomedical, and socioeconomic factors all affecting it. It was the essentially the only outcome in the Spine Patient Outcome Research Trial disc herniation study with no differences between the surgical and non-operative patients.1 Given the complex nature of returning to work, patients need to understand that they can have an excellent surgical result yet still not be able to return to their pre-injury work capacity. Workers with heavy work demands, especially those who are older, undergoing a lumbar fusion, or who have been out of work for an extended period of time, need to understand that they are unlikely to return to the same type of job. Setting appropriate expectations pre-operatively will lead to greater post-operative patient satisfaction and may also allow for an earlier transition to vocational rehabilitation. While the results of this paper represent the experience of a single surgeon in a single city, they do provide spine surgeons with firm numbers that can be conveyed to worker's compensation patients during a shared decision-making discussion.

The current opioid epidemic has raised awareness about the negative consequences of long-term narcotic use. Many patients who become opioid addicts were first exposed to narcotics following surgery or an injury. While opioids will likely continue to have an important role in post-operative pain control, ways to minimize their use need to be considered. The short-term negative effects of narcotics are also problematic for spine surgeons and their patients. With efforts to move spine surgery to the outpatient setting and minimize the length of inpatient stays, side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, ileus, and delirium all present impediments to rapid discharge. As such, interest in multimodal analgesia (MMA) has increased. This approach seeks to capitalize on the synergistic effect of different classes of pain medications, including local anesthetics, neuromodulators, muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatories, acetaminophen, and narcotics. MMA allows for the dose of each medication to be minimized, thus reducing side effects. It has been shown to be effective in total joint arthroplasty and lumbar surgery, though it may have an even larger role in outpatient or short stay procedures. As such, Dr. Bohl and his colleagues from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago recently published their experience with MMA for ACDF. While they initially attempted to perform an RCT, poor protocol adherence resulted in them deciding to abandon the RCT and perform an observational cohort study. They enrolled 239 patients undergoing ACDF by a single surgeon over a 5 year period. Patients were allowed to select their analgesia approach, with 23% selecting MMA and 77% choosing patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Both protocols were similar and included pre-operative oxycodone, pregabalin, IV acetaminophen, and a local anesthetic injection. The main difference was that the PCA group received a morphine PCA pump on post-op day 0 along with IV fentanyl prn, while the MMA group received tramadol, hydrocodone, and pregabalin on post-op day 0. Starting on post-op day 1, all patients received hydrocodone and cyclobenzaprine. Since this was not a randomized study, the groups were somewhat different, with the PCA group having significantly more comorbidities and a higher rate of smokers. The MMA group used significantly fewer oral morphine equivalents per hour while in the hospital (2.5 mg/hr vs. 5.8 mg/hr), had less nausea/vomiting (6% vs. 38%), and a shorter length of stay (27 hrs vs. 40 hrs). There were no differences in visual analog pain scores in the hospital or the rate of narcotic use at 6 or 12 weeks.
The authors have done a nice job reporting their experience with MMA for ACDF, an outpatient or short-stay procedure at most institutions. They demonstrated a 30% reduction in the length of stay, which may have been due to reducing the negative side effects associated with PCA use. While these results are promising, the reader must remember that this was not a randomized trial and that there were significant baseline differences between the groups that may have been driving the differences. The PCA group had more medical comorbidities and a higher number of smokers, which may have resulted in some of the observed differences (though some prior studies have shown a shorter length of stay for smokers, who want to leave the hospital to smoke). The other interesting result was that over three quarters of patients chose the PCA over MMA. Studies such as this one can be used as evidence to educate patients about the negative short-term effects of narcotics and possibly change their expectation to receive a PCA pump following surgery. As more spine surgery transitions to outpatient or short-stay procedures, the importance of effective analgesia without the side-effects associated with high dose narcotics becomes more important. Hopefully future studies on MMA will employ randomized designs in order to definitively evaluate the benefits of different analgesic regimens.

Evergreen Technologies TherMagic Thermal Interface Material Review
If you think back a few years, then you'll probably remember all of the i486 upgrade kits that were going around. If you can remember those days, then I'm sure that you'll remember a company by the name of Evergreen Technologies leading the way with these processor upgrades. Their sole purpose was to make it economical for PC owners to get more power without having to do a major overhaul of our systems.
Well, Evergreen still makes different processor upgrades (as well as a number of other products), but they've gone a different route this time around. They have decided to tackle what is currently the Industry Standard in thermal interface materials. Yes, you heard me correctly. Evergreen has come up with a product called TherMagic and they are pitting it against the mighty Arctic Silver line.

Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

It was OK
Customer service is as important as the cost of any hotel.
It was not consistent and that grinds me down. Buffet restaurant was nice but its 60 euros for 2 ppl to eat all you can eat buffet, bar was nice, room was ok, just did not feel it here. We had to get a tram into the city center but that was fine, we managed to find our way about everywhere. Next time we will be staying in a hotel in the city, its a lot easier. Internet access was awful, kept going down all the time, so frustrating!

REGULATOR FILTER Filed March 11, 1947 v INVENTORQ GEORGE L. HAMMO/V BYQM ATTORNEY Patented May 22, 1951 2,553,763 REGULATOR FILTER George L. Hammo'n, National Welding Berkeley, Calif., assignor to Equipment 00., San Francisco, Calif., a corporation of California Application March 11, 1947, Serial No. 733,929 4 Claims. (01. 183-49) This invention relates to a gas filter for a pressure regulator designed to reduce the pressure of gas from a high-pressure to a lower working pressure.
The gas which issues from a cylinder of oxygen and from othercontainers passes into the regulator at a pressure of several thousand pounds per square inch. At this and other pressures small particles of dust can do a great deal of damage to the sensitive parts on which the regurator depends for its accuracy.
One object of this invention is to provide a filter arrangement at the inlet to the regulator which will remove foreign matter from the gas as it enters.
Another object of this invention is to provide a filter which can be readily installed as a replaceabl'e unit.
Another object of this invention is to provide a filter which will fit tightly into a regulator inlet in such a manner that none of the high-pressure gas can go around the filter, and at the same time to provide a filter which can be readily removed and replaced.
Other objects and advantages of th invention will appear from the following description.
In the drawings:
Fig. l is a plan view of a regulator with the inlet of the regulator in section to show the installation embodied in this invention;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the filter;
Fig. 3 is a side view in section of the filter; and
Fig. 4 is an exploded vie-w partly in section of the filter showing the component parts.
The regulator housing Ill has several openings around its periphery. The inlet I I, the outlet I2, safety openings I3 and I 4, and gauge openings I 5 and I 6 for the auges I1 and I 8 are illustrated. For the purpose of this invention it is unnecessary to describe the operation of the regulator except to say that the inlet I is attached by the pipe 2|! to a source of gas under pressure, such as a cylinder of compressed oxygen, and that th gas issues at the outlet I 2 after being reduced within the regulator to a lower working pressure.
The filter 2| is installed between the inlet fixture 22 and the adapter 23, the inlet fixture 22 being threaded into the inlet opening I I, and the adapter 23 being threaded into the inlet fixture 22. The pipe 20 from the source of high-pressure gas is threaded into the adapter 23.
The filter 2| has been designed to overcome the difliculties where a fine mesh screen has been used heretofore as the filtering means. At each end of the filter body 24 is a perforated plate or screen 25, 25, each with perforations fine'enough to prevent any large particles of dirt or "grit from entering the filter 2| and to prevent any of the filtering material 2?! from being forced out of the filter into the working parts of the pressure regulator. The filterin material 2'! is some such ma- 'terial as kapok, which will allow the gas to pass freely but will trap any particles of foreign matter and will not itself break up and be blown into the regulator.
One feature of the filter 2| is in making it thicker than the recess in the fitting 22 into which it fits. Another feature is in having the filter body 24 made of a resilient metal such as brass so it is compressible in the recess. The screen 25 is held snugly by the rim 28 of the filter housing 25, the rim 28 being crimped down firmly. On the other hand the rim 29 which holds the screen 25 to the housin 24 is not completely crimped down and leaves 'the filter compressible. The creen 29 is held firmly against the shelf 32, but the rim 29 is left with a small angle of clearance 32 which leaves it compressible. When the adapter 23 is threaded into the fixture 22, the filter 2| rests between them. The depth of the recess 35 is less than the thickness of the filter 2|. Consequently, when the end 33 of the adapter 23 presses against the filter 2| and rim 29 is forced in and the ductile filter body is kept under compression. This assures that there will be no leakage around the filter 2| when the gas passes through the pipe into the inlet I Thus it will be seen that th filter 2|, when placed in a regulator with one edge deformed, is self-sealing so that the gas must pass through the filter 2| and cannot go around it.
Moreover, the filter 2| is of such a size, that it seals when the shoulder 36 of the adapter 23 rests against the shoulder 35 of the inlet fitting 22, so that there is a double seal to prevent leakage. This feature not only forces the gas to pass through the filter 2|, but also makes the attachanent of the regulator II] to the pipe 20 safer. Thus, when the adapter 23 is threaded into the inlet fitting 22 and the filter 2| is compressed, there are two leak-tight seals on the regulator inlet connections.
A preferred example of the invention has been described, and changes may be made in the size, shape, arrangement, and materials without departing from the spirit of the invention or from the claims below.
I claim:
1. In a pressure regulating device having an inlet fitting with an opening therethrough and an interior recess around said opening which terminates at its inward end in a flat shoulder, the combination therewith of a filter element adapted to fit snugly into said recess and against said shoulder, said filter element having a metal body at one end of which is a partially in-turned resilient circumferential flange, said flange projecting outwardly between a pulley axial and a pulley radial position so as to be compressible in against the remainder of said filter element; and means for securing said element in place in said recess and compressing said flange.
2. In a filter for filtering gases under high pressure, the combination of a metal body portion, a filtering element therein, perforated backing members on ach side of said element and held in said body portion by radially inturned fianges on said body portion, at least one of said flanges being incompletely turned in radially so as to form an obtuse angle with the axial wall of said body portion and so as to be resiliently compressible in toward its adjacent perforated backing member, whereby the compression caused by a tight fit is taken up by said flange instead of by said filtering element.
3. A filter adapted to fit tightly in a high-pressure gas conduit and to accommodate itself for variation in the spacing of its abutting parts, including in combination a housing of resilient metal, a filter mass therein, and radial perforated end plates on either side of said mass, said plates being held by end Walls of said housing turned inwardly from the axial side wall, at least one of said end walls being turned in intermediate a true axial and a true radial position so as to be axially compressible toward a true radial position, so that said filter may fit snugly between abutting members without further compacting said filter mass, said resilient end walls bending to take up the compression force.
4. In a regulator inlet, the combination of an 4 inlet fitting threaded into the regulator inlet opening and recessed interiorly on its opposite end and having a flat shoulder surrounding said recess; an adapter threaded into the feed line which conducts the compressed gas and having a fiat shoulder opposite the shoulder on said inlet fitting, so that when said adaptor is threaded into said inlet fitting said fiat shoulders abut to form a leak-tight seal; and a filter cartridge positioned in said recess between said fitting and said adaptor, said cartridge including a metal body and a filter mass in said body, said body having at one end a partially inturned fiange which is resiliently compressible axially toward its fully inturned position so as to form with said fitting and adaptor a second leak-tight seal and so as to be removable and to accommodate variations in manufacture of said fitting and said adaptor without causing any additional pressure on said filter mass.

Ford's (F) plan to offer pension buyouts to former workers could start as early as August, according to a company exec. The first wave of offers will be sent 12K to 15K workers, selected by random. Meanwhile, a GM spokesman confirms that the automaker is considering its own pension buyout initiative.

There are over 90,000 salaried retirees. Offers are only being made to them. Typical of the company, the union is excluded because as benefits for Salaried eroded since 1980, the savings gains were always used to subsidize Union benefits which never changed. Salaried employees have always been Ford's whipping post but folks, be sure to be a" team player" to ensure you're doing your part by accepting less than what they promised you when hired in! The offers are on top of the bigger offers to get rid of them 5 years ago. Great morale building.
badmustang .... Incorrect ... It is not only for retirees, but includes anyone who Ford has an obligation to, the obligation from Ford's defined benefit pension plans.
Ford is constrained by Union Contract to very specific terms for pensions, health care, and other defined benefits for Union employees. So offering a lump sum buyout is not an option - until the UAW leadership agrees to the specific terms, and the majority of UAW members agree to seal the deal. Probably won't happen before 2015 when the Contract comes up for renewal. If the current Contract offered a lump-sum buyout to pensioners and those considering retirement, then you can bet that Ford would be rolling it out. There is a small possibility of the Union agreeing to open the contract for renegotiation (as happened in 2009) if they feel there is something in their interest to discuss (as was the case in 2009).
Companies offer pensions in good (hiring) times in order to compete in acquiring the best available employees. In the non-unionized world of competitive salary pay and benefits, those companies that offer the best (or at least competitive) pay, pensions, health care coverage, and other benefits can attract the highly talented employees that are in demand and that they need.

7 Degrees and Loving It!
With winter in the Sierras comes cold temps and with a long lens, you can stay inside and warm while shooting the great outdoors. That's what I did yesterday in my never ending quest to find the uncommmon in the common. Yesterday, Sharon called out that the "love doves" as we call our pair of Morning Doves were in tree 4. So I stopped making scratch waffles and headed to the D4s / 800mm to shoot out the window. Because of the cold temps, 7 degrees, the doves were perched trying to stay warm. The pattern in the wing of the one above really caught my attention, its near circular shape is pretty uncommon cause from it being puffed up. Not everyone loves the cold like I do, that I know. But when you can make these simple kinda clicks, I'm shooting in 7 degrees and loving...Read More

Eudaimonist Virtue Ethics and Right Action: A Reassessment

My question in this paper concerns what eudaimonist virtue ethics (EVE) might have to say about what makes right actions right. This is obviously an important question if we want to know what (if anything) distinguishes EVE from various forms of consequentialism and deontology in ethical theorizing. The answer most commonly given is that according to EVE, an action is right if and only if it is what a virtuous person would do in the circumstances. However, understood as a claim about what makes particular actions right, this is not especially plausible. What makes a virtuous person's actions right must reasonably be a matter of the feature, or features, which she, via her practical wisdom, appreciates as ethically relevant in the circumstances, and not the fact that someone such as herself would perform those actions. I argue that EVE instead should be understood as a more radical alternative in ethical philosophy, an alternative that relies on the background assumption that no general account or criterion for what makes right actions right is available to us: right action is simply too complex to be captured in a 'finite and manageable set of…moral principles' (McKeever and Ridge, Principled ethics, Oxford University Press, 2006, p. 139). This does not rule out the possibility that there might be some generalizations about how we should act which hold true without exception. Perhaps there are some things which we must never do, as well as some features of the world which always carry normative weight (even though their exact weight may vary from one context to another). Still, these things are arguably few and far between, and what we must do to ensure that we reliably recognize what is right in particular situations is to acquire practical wisdom. Nothing short of that could do the job.

Using that green space across from the Library. Harold Washington was a big fan of public dog pee.
Find a neighbor's door you are not particularly fond of
Having portable wee-wee pads and throwing them down where you see fit
Waiting for the light to turn green, then crossing Michigan Ave. at your leisure
I have a listing in the building and can tell you that Michigan Ave. at that location is very easy to cross. There is a long traffic light there and the Avenue is not so wide at that juncture.
I don't think you would have a problem at all.
If and when you are in Chicago please feel free to give me a call. You can obviously do a "dry run" too when you're here.
Let me know of any other questions you may have and I'll be happy to answer them for you. Chicago is a great city and we'd love to have you!
G. Marie Leaner
Coldwell Banker Michigan Avenue
Anyway, on to business.....................
Did some research, and found out that pets up to 80 lb are allowed. Also, the nearest grass area without crossing Michigan is Printer's Row. (too far to walk just for a quick relief). But Grant Park is only one block away!! Once you cross Michigan, which is what you wanted to avoid, you will have a great place to walk your dog!! In my research I also found out that many of the owners in the building have dogs, and that is the common place for walking your dog.
As for the building itself, it looks beautiful. Along with the views.
If you need any more help, or have any other questions, please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to help you in any way I can.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Have a great day!
