Story highlights
- You want to feel comfortable asking your pediatrician questions, doctor says
- Switch pediatricians if you doctor doesn't follow through or rushes exams
- Most doctors' offices should transfer growth charts and vaccinations records at no charge
When Jennifer Aaronson, 41, a magazine editor and mom to two in Manhattan, was pregnant with her first child, she did what every baby book tells you to do: she interviewed doctors and found one she thought was a good fit.
"We knew we were having a boy, and my husband wanted a male pediatrician. So we found this guy who was the head of whatever, had an impressive resume and seemed totally fine in the interview."
But it wasn't long before Aaronson left her doctor visits feeling the doctor was "brushing us off like 'you silly first-time parents.'"
When Aaronson's son Gio was just nine months old and had a constant cough, she knew something was wrong. She brought him in before a trip away from home, and her doctor said, "He's fine, it's just a cough."
On the trip Gio ended up in the ER and was sent home with a diagnosis of pneumonia. When they got back, Aaronson showed her pediatrician the X-rays and got the brush off again.
"He said, 'I don't think it's pneumonia.'"
Then it happened again. Aaronson took her sick son in, was told she was overreacting and went home, only to end up in the ER days later with a diagnosis of pneumonia. And that was it: "He kept brushing us off as first-time parents, but two different emergency rooms told us he had pneumonia, so we said, enough with that."
Aaronson switched pediatricians and never looked back.
For Aaronson, it wasn't so much that her doctor missed pneumonia two times. After all, she says, maybe it wasn't pneumonia when he saw it. For her, the problem was feeling belittled. Wendy Sue Swanson, M.D., a pediatrician at Seattle Children's Hospital who writes the Seattle Mama Doc Blog, agrees.
"You want to feel comfortable asking your pediatrician questions, and you want to trust the answers," says Dr. Swanson. If you don't, it's time to find a new doc.
"It's a really normal and common thing to switch a doctor," says Dr. Swanson. Whenever your instinct is telling you to look for someone else, you should trust your gut. Physicians are there to provide a service to you. If you're not getting the service you think you need, you should go elsewhere."
5 signs it's time to switch
1. You can't get a word in edgewise. If your pediatrician runs the show at your visits and you don't have time to ask the questions you came with or respond to what she's saying and ask follow-ups, "that a real red flag," says Dr. Swanson. As your child's advocate, you need to know that your concerns are heard and addressed.
2. Your doctor doesn't follow through. If your pediatrician says they will do something (like call you back in two days, for instance), and they don't, it's a sign the office is overwhelmed and not looking out for your best interests.
You are going to follow through on the directions they give you, and, in turn, you should expect the office to make good on the promises made to you.
3. Your doctor is a pushover. The whole reason you go to a doctor is "to have access to science and data that you wouldn't have without going to medical school and through residency," says Dr. Swanson.
So if you head to your doctor's office dead-set against a vaccine, it's his responsibility to fill you in on why that may not be the best choice for your child. A doctor who just caves to your desires does not have your child's best interest in mind.
"Your doctor should have opinions," says Dr. Swanson, "he just shouldn't be paternalistic about them. He should be able to come together with a parent and elegantly come up with a plan that makes the most sense for your child."
4. Your doctor rushes through a physical exam. "One of the great benefits to well visits is getting your child checked head to toe," says Dr. Swanson.
These days you might be able to get really detailed and accurate medical information online, but "you can't have your child looked over head to toe on the Internet. It's one of the really incredible and beautiful things about having a partnership with a pediatrician. We really do find things on the physical exam that we wouldn't otherwise."
So make sure your doctor is spending a good portion of the visit actually examining your kid.
5. Your doctor is not board certified. Believe it or not, there are pediatricians practicing without board certification from the American Board of Pediatrics. Before you even make an appointment to interview a physician, go to the board's website and use their Verification of Certification search tool to find the pediatrician you're interested in.
One concern to leave behind: Nobody likes to wait for the doctor. But the occasional long wait, in and of itself, is not a reason to make a change. In fact, says Dr. Swanson, it can be a really good sign.
"A lot of the time, I am not on time, because I am giving a child the care they need or answering the questions a parent needs to ask," says Dr. Swanson. And that can be really hard to fit in when the medical profession forces doctors to schedule so little time for each patient.
"I'm really thankful when parents are willing to wait for me, because when they need the extra time, they will get it," says Dr. Swanson.
If you find yourself waiting for long stretches at every visit, it could be a sign that it's a poorly run clinic, says Dr. Swanson. But often a wait just means that your doctor is being thorough, and that's what you want when it's your time to walk through the exam room door.
When it's time for a change
How to find a better fit
Unfortunately, some doctor's offices will not schedule an interview appointment when the prospective patient is an older child. In that case, Dr. Swanson recommends setting up a visit for a legitimate health concern you have. (Maybe it's those bedwetting questions you never got answered at your old pediatrician's office.)
"Make an appointment to solve a health problem, and let the new physician show you how they can partner with you," says Dr. Swanson.
Rather than searching online for lists of questions to ask prospective docs, she recommends personalizing your questions to problems you've had in the past, so you know they won't be repeated in the future.
For instance, "if you've had problems with doctors listening to you in the past, ask them if there is a way you can set the agenda at the beginning of the visit," says Dr. Swanson. Most of all? "Don't be shy." This is your time to make a new start for you and for your child's health.
Aaronson was thrilled with the new pediatrician she found. "We liked her right away. She followed through on everything. She listened to us, and addressed our concerns, and she even had this holistic approach, which I was looking for."
How to tell your old doc
"Don't worry about your doctor's feelings getting hurt. All doctors have had a patient leave them at one time or another. We don't need an apology," says Dr. Swanson.
If you do want to provide your pediatrician with some constructive feedback, but feel uncomfortable addressing her directly, call the practice manager, clinic head, or even the receptionist and, as kindly as possible, explain what you were unhappy with and why you are leaving.
"If there really was a concern about the quality of care, physicians should get that feedback," says Dr. Swanson, "but I don't think you are obligated to tell them."
Aaronson thought leaving her doctor would be a bigger deal than it was. "You feel like you sign up for life with these people. But, you're the parent, you're the one in control, and I think you can forget that."
Getting your files transferred
According to Dr. Swanson, most doctors' offices should be willing to transfer growth charts and vaccinations records at no charge to a new doctor's office. If the office's policy is to charge for anything more than that, have your new doctor's office request your child's files, which should then be provided to them for free. "Don't hesitate to ask your new partner to advocate for you," says Dr. Swanson. After all that's why you made the switch.

Who are The Skeptic Illuminati?
We were approached by a group calling themselves
The Skeptic Illuminati and asked to post the following, as several of the qualities they are looking for in members have been discussed on this blog.
An open letter to all who identify as Skeptics:
Wednesday, October 12, 2011
It was the best of times...
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us....

The small-minded find in skepticism a handy bludgeon. What a waste. Skepticism serves humankind best when used as a mirror.
--Steve Cuno
I'm going to print this out and tape it to my bathroom mirror, as a reminder of the importance of applying skepticism to myself. Thanks, Steve.

The Most Important Thing to Know...
Over the last few months, I have spent a great deal of time reading blogposts and comments on skeptical sites on the Internet, and one important fact has become readily apparent: that many in our community aren't aware of one of the most important things a skeptic should know.

The Wikimedia Foundation recently completed a massive fundraising drive and managed to raise some $16 million in donations from over 500,000 users of Wikipedia worldwide.
Wikipedia has a long-standing no-ad policy and the money raised through these donations would help the Wikimedia Foundation pay for all their staff and expenses and still remain ad-free for all of 2011.
Like most other non-profits, Wikipedia banks on donations to stay afloat but what happens if people don't donate in such large numbers. Will they then accept advertising or shut down Wikipedia?
When TIME Magazine asked this exact question to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, here's what he said:
While we've always said that we're opposed to having advertising on Wikipedia, we've never said "absolutely never."
According to Wales, if they're unable to raise sufficient funds through donations in future, they'll first look at cost-cutting measures and then may include ads in "some obscure locations" to keep Wikipedia alive. That's very unlikely though!

Step 1Lightly whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl. Fold in the brown sugar, then the corn syrup, cream, pumpkin, cinnamon and rum.
Step 1Heat the oven to 325 degrees.
Step 2Combine the flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut in the butter until it is the size of peas. Lightly knead the dough until it comes together in a ball. If the dough becomes too soft, place it in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Step 3Place the dough in a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Lightly flour your hands and press the dough across the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the pan. If the dough softens too much again, place the pan in the freezer for a couple of minutes.
Step 4Bake the crust until lightly browned, 20 minutes. Remove to a rack; cool.
Step 5Pour the pumpkin filling into the crust. Bake until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center, 25 minutes. Let cool on a rack, then cut into 24 bars.

The very best Towing Covers for Bailey Caravans
Front covers have never been better or simpler!
When you're towing on the road, the front of your caravan bears the brunt. It's inevitable that your tow car will throw up stones for your front panels and windows to catch – and you'll soon find exhaust fume residues, dust and dead bugs messing up your paintwork.
As any caravan dealer will tell you, chips and stains will adversely affect the resale value of your van, but despite this, many owners are put off towing protection by inferior covers that are fiddly and time-consuming to fit.
Fitting a towing cover can be easy and quick if you have the right model, and we're delighted to introduce an elegant solution: a range of Tow Pro towing covers tailor-made by our friends at Specialised Covers to fit our current and recent Bailey caravan models.
Specialised Covers and Bailey Caravans
Specialised Covers has been in business for 35 years and provides vehicle covers that satisfy the most demanding customers, from seasoned caravan tourers and doting vintage car owners to Formula One teams.
We've worked with the company to create our own, Bailey branded range of towing covers, which includes models tailored to fit all the current and recent Bailey caravans, including Olympus, Pegasus, Pursuit, and Unicorn.
A special edition Tow Pro cover is available for the Unicorn IV, featuring the Unicorn emblem and a custom fit for the new shape front.The Tow Pro standard model is already a big seller in our store and is now joined by the Tow Pro Elite, which was developed with Bailey Australia to withstand the rigours of touring in the Australian Outback.
Here's a quick overview of these tough but user friendly caravan towing covers.
Tow Pro features to look out for
The Tow Pro and Tow Pro Elite covers attach to your existing caravan awning channels - and thanks to the unique zipper and Quick Clip system, one person can fit the cover in about a minute. Simply slide into the awning channels, zip, clip and you're done.
Patented elasticated wings provide additional grip either side and allow you to make fine adjustments, while the Quick Clips attach to your caravan's valence to prevent any debris reaching your paintwork from below.
Clear perspex eyes align perfectly with your caravan's front lights to ensure you're road legal. In fact, every detail of these tailor-made covers has been given proper thought.
The products are handmade to the highest standards in the company's Yorkshire factory and carry a one-year warranty, along with the NCC's coveted verification mark. Both models come with a sturdy carry bag for stowing in the van when not in use.
Tow Pro tailored fit
The Tow Pro Standard is 100% waterproof, has a non-abrasive fleece lining and is made of durable, UV protected, breathable fabric that's well-padded and offers great protection, right up to the gutter line.
The Tow Pro fitting guide explains just how easy it is to cover your caravan safely and securely, with minimum fuss.
Introducing the Tow Pro Elite
If you want to take your protection up the maximum, we're delighted to introduce the Tow Pro Elite.
Made from unique 8mm thick foam body armour material with fleece lining, it was designed in partnership with Bailey Australia to withstand all that touring in the Australian Outback could throw at it.
It has the same Quick Clip, Zip and elasticated wing system, but sports some additional features, including a fold-down window panel, so you can enjoy the locker box opening and access to your grab handles – so you leave the cover fitted on a stopover or short stay.
The Elite also has decent thermal insulation properties, which is another great advantage if you're touring in colder climes.
Again, there are Elite models for Bailey's current and recent caravan ranges. They're made to measure for the roughest roads and harshest conditions.
See Tow Pro for yourself
If you'd like to see these excellent covers close up you can always drop in to our Bristol store for a free coffee and demonstration. Do please call ahead to check we have the correct model for your caravan in stock.

Adding a 'Debugger Users Group' during VS.NET install
I am having a problem with debugging in VS.NET 2002 Academic. The error is: "Unable to start debugger: The debugger is not installed properly."
I have reinstalled .NET Framework and Visual Studio.NET several times. Towards the end of the installation, it says you have to create the 'Debugger Users' group and add trusted users to it. I have done that. I have also manually registered mscordbi.dll. But, the error still persists. This error shows up for any type of application (Windows, ASP.NET, console...). Do I have to register any other DLLs or anything else? I really appreciate your help.
The only thing I can think of that you may not have done is add your account to the Debugger User's group. Another thing to try is to boost yourself to a member of the Administrator group and see if that helps.

My dad has given me some interesting advice in my lifetime.
Things ranging from "Always look at people's shoes, even in wheelchairs because that is how you can tell if they are faking" to "Date who you want…your Mother will be fine". But the most helpful advice came from my days making comic books, you see my Dad used to come with me to comic book conventions and help me sell my books. At one of these shows he explained to me that to really make a sale you need to make a connection with the prospective buyer and try to gain their trust…he then proceeded to catch the eye of an older man wearing a Hello Kitty shirt and proceeded to ask "So you like little girls huh?"
Needless to say he didn't get the sale but the advice was good.
I started thinking about this because of a blog post over at BLOGTO.com about the Death of High End Sneaker Shops in Toronto. While I am saddened by the fact that these shops are disappearing (I collect sneakers and and buy as many as 20-30 pairs a year) but I can't say I am surprised…ok I am surprised a little but not shocked and here is why.
As someone who is the absolute 100% target market for these products, when I do frequent these shops no one will help me, or talk to me or treat me special at all…and by special I don't mean kiss my ass, I mean take a look at my feet (I usually wear something special to shoe shop in) and notice I am a customer and treat me as such.
I can buy shoes online but choose to do so in real life so I can actually talk with like minded folks who share a same interest as me but always end up feeling like I am bothering people and am a burden. To me retail is less about selling merchandise and more about offering and selling an experience…and the experience you are selling shouldn't be one of exclusion.
So if you own a specialty store, especially a shoe store follow my dad's advice and "Always look at people's shoes, even in wheelchairs" because knowing if someone if a possible customer is half of the battle.
…and if you are a sneaker store and want some business I am searching high and low for these shoes in a size 12. Not looking for a freebie, just someone with a pair I can buy.

I say "I'm too junkie for that." It means that you are too cool for something or too hip. It's not a drug reference, though. I think I made it up about two months ago. People have to think about it for a minute. Like, if someone wanted you to go somewhere and you didn't want to, you could say, "No, I'm too junkie for that." The other phrase I say a lot is "so Kid Fresh." It's a reference to myself and it means something is cool; it's a big compliment if something is "so Kid Fresh."

Defense Secretary Robert Gates endured nearly six hours of grilling from Congress Thursday, with the most combative questioning coming from — surprisingly — Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and a group of Senate hawks on the Armed Services Committee who support military intervention in Libya.
McCain expressed grave disappointment about the decision to have the U.S. military forces step aside and allow NATO to take control before Muammar Qaddafi has been toppled from power.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) asked why the U.S. couldn't simply bomb Qaddafi like President Reagan tried to do in 1986 when he sent cruise missiles into the Libyan leader's palace, killing one of his daughters, and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said rebel setbacks over the last two days have been "unsettling.""Hope is not a strategy," McCain said, repeating one of his favorite phrases, adding that the U.S. should not have drawn back its leadership role in the military mission until our policy goal of removing Qaddafi from power was met.
"I know the U.S. military has a heavy load on its back right now … but we must not fail in Libya, and I say this as someone who is familiar with the consequence of a lost conflict," he said.
Gates had endured a full session of grilling by the House Armed Services Committee over critics views that the White House is violating the War Powers Act by not consulting more closely with Congress and failing to seek a resolution to authorize force before launching air strikes. He was visually exhausted by the onslaught of questions and haltingly explained that the U.S. air forces are on "stand-by" in case it became "apparent" that the NATO coalition was not able to get the job done.
When it was Graham's turn to question Gates and Mullens, he said he was more "depressed than he has ever been" about the plan in Libya.
"When we called for a no-fly zone, we didn't mean our people," Graham said. "That we're grounded unless the whole place goes to hell … is just so unnerving."
Calling Gates and Mullen "friends," he warned the pair that they were on shaky ground with their Libya policy with many members of the Senate and even those who would normally be inclined to support military intervention in Libya.
"You need to come here a little more decisive," he said, "Or it's going to be really difficult to approve the plan as it is."
Noting that Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), the panel's chairman, was drafting legislation authorizing the military action in Libya, Graham asked what would happen if such a resolution would fail to win Senate approval.
"It would obviously send a negative signal to our allies and a positive signal to Qaddafi," Gates responded before Graham cut him off.
"It would be a disaster," Graham interjected.
Graham then pivoted to pointedly ask why the U.S. wasn't trying to bomb Qaddafi outright.
"President Reagan tried that…," Gates said.
"It doesn't mean we shouldn't try again," Graham retorted. "I don't think this man is the legitimate leader of the Libyan people. We are within our bounds to take the fight to him and his cadre of supporters."
"Who would be mad at us and why would they be mad if we dropped a bomb on Qaddafi?" Graham challenged. "Would anybody in Europe be upset if Qaddafi were killed?"
Since Graham didn't listen for a response, the question turned into more of a statement and an attempt to urge the administration to exercise the mission more aggressively.
Other Republicans and Democrats worried about the endgame in Libya, what the U.S. would do if Qaddafi manages to stick around for weeks and months on end, and whether the U.S. had any contingency plans for helping to build a functioning government in the heavily tribal North African nation if and when Qaddafi falls.
"Are we going to try to get him out of Libya and have him tried by the international criminal court?" asked Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME). "If he knows that's the consequences, he's never going to voluntarily leave anyway. How are we gong to bring this to closure … I just don't see how this ends."
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) showed up just before the hearing ended but asked the question likely on most people's minds who lived through the U.S. "regime change" in Iraq.
"Assuming that we're going to be optimistic here … and Qaddafi leaves quickly, has NATO talked about what happens in the interim?" she asked.
"Do we think the interim provisional council in Benghazi is capable of governing?"
Gates was terse but direct in his reply, but the answer was equally startling.
"Their governance capability is limited, if not non-existent," he said.

The $9.99/mo. Photoshop Photography Program returns
I'm delighted to say that it's back, and now anyone can get Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5, and Behance ProSite hosting for just ten bucks a month:
For a limited time, you can join a special Creative Cloud plan. It includes access to Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5, plus feature updates and upgrades as they are available, 20GB of cloud storage for file sharing and collaboration, and a Behance ProSite. And it's just US $9.99/month when you sign up for a one-year plan, but you need to join by March 31, 2014. Questions? See our FAQ and terms. [Notably: "This offer is available to anyone until March 31, 2014. There are no previous product ownership requirements."]
Hi John, this is a sweet deal, but Adobe needs a plan for educators ( I teach at California Baptist University) where students can purchase just a semester's worth of this deal. I already have students who struggle to buy a used camera for 200, so another $120 ( a years subscription) on top of books for many students takes this option off the table. What I need is a 3 month bundle they can buy a voucher for at the bookstore or online. Otherwise I'm left banging my head against the wall teaching my basic photo classes with Pixlr. It's a loose-loose situation that doesn't have to be!

Review Details
AlcoSense Excel Fuel Cell Breathalyzer
- Product Review (submitted on 13 July 2017):
- As with other reviewers was sent Alcosense Pro. Very easy to set up and use, intuitive and no need to check instructions after 1st use.Only gripe is that it only works with a PC and not a Mac so I can't update to the latest software version without returning to manufacturer. Works fine so not bothering to send back, will ask for upgrade when it's calibrated.

text: Krugman says we need to keep spending, and that we can afford the added debt: "According to the White House projections, by 2019, net federal debt will be around 70 percent of G.D.P. That's not good, but it's within a range that has historically proved manageable for advanced countries, even those with relatively weak governments." Healthcare reform, he says, is a key element of fiscal sustainability.

The director of dolphin research at Baltimore's National Aquarium retraces the path by which science has come to understand dolphin intelligence.
A committed activist on behalf of dolphin welfare, Reiss provides an account of her personal journey and the history of the development of proofs of the creatures' high intelligence. The author chronicles the evolution of the field, beginning with John Lilly's groundbreaking work on their language and concluding with a description of her own experimental work that demonstrates that dolphins are creatures endowed with self-awareness. Reiss also discusses her struggle to get these important findings published in scientific literature. In her doctoral thesis, she proposed a series of rigorous experiments that laid the basis for documenting dolphins' ability to communicate with symbols, recognize their mirror image and even reflect upon their experiences. While involved in her scientific studies, she was also struggling to secure funding and protect the animals she was working with from being sold for commercial exploitation. Reiss movingly conveys her deepening relationship with the dolphins, and she documents how, through each step of the process, and with each new generation, there is a tremendous emotional pull built upon the establishment of communication and empathy between our different species. This has historical antecedents—reflected in classical mythology, as well as in the actual experiences of people rescued at sea by dolphins.Among the author's purposes in writing this engrossing scientific memoir is to build support to stop the annual massacres of dolphins in Japan and elsewhere.

Absence Management
What is Absence Management (formerly Aesop)?
Absence Management is an automated substitute placement and absence management system serving more than 4,000 school districts nationwide. Many Minnesota school districts use Absence Management.
Recording an Absence and Requesting a Sub
- If you are going to be absent from work, enter the absence into Skyward first.
- When putting the request into Skyward, check the box that has 'sub needed' next to it, and you will automatically be redirected to Absence Management to enter the sub request.
- All employees are responsible for entering their own leave requests into Skyward and Absence Management. In order to subs to be paid, all time must be recorded in both Skyward and Absence Management.
Since most staff are recording their absences through Skyward, what happens to the short- and long-term leave forms?
We have one leave form titled "Leave of Absence Request Form." This form should be used for medical leaves of more than four days (FMLA), jury duty, year-long leave, internal leave, etc. where additional documentation is required. The new form is available online under Quick Links and will be fillable so you can complete it and email it directly to your supervisor, if you wish. It will still be your responsibility to record this time off in Skyward and to request a sub if needed.

That's what little girls are made of.
When I found out that I was having a girl, I dreamed of cute little outfits, pretty accessories that she'd be wearing. I dreamed of Her Pretty Pinkness, of a docile, sweet little princess who would love playing with dolls, be very ladylike, and oh-so-adorable.
I got my Zoë.
So not into cute little outfits or pretty accessories (she would pull the clips out of her hair whenever we'd try to put them on).
Her Pretty Pinkness? She looks better in Dora-esque outfits --shorts and shirts and sneakers, --than in frilly dresses.
Docile? Not a chance. She cries out, "Zoë first!" when Josh tries to take something away from her. We call her Her Royal Feistiness.
Sweet? VERY! Hugs and kisses galore. She calls out, "Mommy?" and then gives me the sweetest of crinkly-eyes smiles ever. She rushes over to the tissue box when Josh sneezes, grabs a tissue, AND tries to wipe Josh's nose. She gives Josh hugs and pats him when he cries. She always squeals "Daddy!" as soon as Chris comes home and pumps those short little legs as she runs to hug him.
Playing with dolls. Yes, she loves to play with dolls and plush toys. She hugs and kisses them, feeds them, and carts them around in her little baby stroller.
Ladylike --not. But I kinda like prefer this way, I think. Time enough later for lipstick and such.
Oh-so-adorable --oh yes! Zoë is quite a character. She lights up my world with her bright gummy grins, with her squeals of delight, with her shouts of "Again, Mommy, again!" She makes us all laugh with her silly antics and she laughs along with us, saying, "Funny!"
Zoë is not what I dreamed of. She is so, so, so much more. :)

The new SRC: Mapping the members' connections
In an effort to draw a richer picture of the members of the SRC, this map shows their past and present employment, recent local civic interests, and various affiliations, as well as who appointed them. It is thorough but not exhaustive, especially with regard to board service and past employment.
Wendell E. Pritchett
Chancellor, Rutgers-Camden University
Appointed by Mayor Nutter, September 2011
Pritchett, 47, has a longstanding connection to the mayor, including a stint as Nutter's deputy chief of staff and director of policy. He also has a long relationship with the University of Pennsylvania, where he has been a doctoral student, professor, and associate dean. Pritchett's wife, Anne Kringel, is a law professor there.
He has served on the boards of government agencies, such as the Philadelphia Housing Development Corporation and the Pennsylvania State Planning Board, and nonprofit organizations, such as Community Legal Services.
He now serves on several boards in Camden, including the United Way of Camden County. Pritchett has occasionally contributed to the campaigns of both local and national Democratic candidates, including $1,000 to Nutter in 2011.
Lorene Cary
Executive director, Art Sanctuary
Appointed by Mayor Nutter, September 2011
Cary, 54, is a celebrated author of six books, including the memoir Black Ice and the historical novel The Price of a Child, which was the first One Book, One Philadelphia selection in 2003.
In 1998 she founded Art Sanctuary in North Philadelphia, which "uses the power of Black art to transform individuals, unite groups of people, and enrich, and draw inspiration from the inner city." It has a gallery, trains teachers to use arts in their classrooms, and runs programs for young people. She is also a senior lecturer in English at the University of Pennsylvania.
Her husband, the Reverend Robert C. Smith, is the rector of the Memorial Church of the Good Shepherd, an Episcopal church in East Falls. She has made a handful of mostly small campaign contributions to Democratic candidates.
Pedro A. Ramos
Partner at Trujillo Rodriguez & Richards
Appointed by Gov. Corbett, November 2011
Ramos, 46, is in his second round of heading the District's governing body; he was president of the Board of Education from 1999 to 2001, when it was disbanded. Relationships he built with Republicans in the Ridge administration, many of whom now work for Corbett, led to his nomination.
A Central High graduate, he was the first in his family to attend college. He was city solicitor and then managing director under Mayor Street. He also served as chief of staff to the president of the University of Pennsylvania, his alma mater, and has worked at three local law firms.
He serves on many local nonprofit boards. His wife, Rafaela Torres, is senior operations manager at Philadelphia Futures. He is a Democrat who has given to mostly national and state Democratic candidates.
Joseph A. Dworetzky
Shareholder, Hangley Aronchick Segal Pudlin & Shiller
Appointed by former Gov. Rendell, October 2009
Dworetzky, 60, was a member of former Mayor Rendell's cabinet, serving as city solicitor. In that capacity, he represented the city in a Commonwealth Court case, arguing that the state's school funding formula discriminated against Philadelphia. He now specializes in bankruptcy law. He previously was a partner at Drinker Biddle and Reath.
For Mayor Nutter, he has served as the vice-chair of the city Task Force on Tax Policy and Competitiveness. Since 2004, he has been on the Pennsylvania Energy Development Authority board.
His wife, Amy Banse, an executive at Comcast, was recently named to start a new venture in San Francisco. They have moved there and he now commutes cross-country to SRC meetings. A Democrat, he has contributed primarily to Democratic candidates for Congress.
Feather O'Connor Houstoun
Appointed by Gov. Corbett, awaiting confirmation
Houstoun, 65, spent six years as president of the William Penn Foundation, overseeing a $64 million annual budget. She now advises the Wyncote Foundation, run by the Haas family.
She has done extensive government service in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. She was the secretary of public welfare in Pennsylvania for eight years in the administration of Gov. Tom Ridge and served for five years as chief financial officer for SEPTA. In New Jersey, she was the state treasurer under Gov. Tom Kean. She also worked 11 years for the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Houstoun's husband, Larry, now semi-retired, is an urban planning consultant. When confirmed, Houstoun will be the lone Republican on the SRC. She has given few contributions to political campaigns.
Disclosure: The Notebook has received substantial grant support from the William Penn Foundation before, during, and after Feather Houstoun's tenure there. Notebook staff members have attended conferences with support from the Wyncote Foundation, where Houstoun is now a consultant.

Project Intent: Create new American National Standard
Draft RESNA Standard for Assistive Technology for Air Travel – Volume 1: Requirements and Test Methods Related to Mobility Devices (RESNA AT-1)
Project Need:
Assistive technologies that have to be stored in the baggage areas on board aircraft are often damaged by the time they are returned to the passenger at their destination. Content for a standardized information card and checklist, labeling, handling procedures, and training are needed to improve the process for the storage and handling of mobility technologies that are required for passengers who are not ambulatory. Design guidelines are needed to encourage manufacturers to manufacture and to educate assistive technology providers, suppliers, seating and mobility specialists, and passengers about selecting mobility devices that have features specific for air travel. The features would make the mobility devices easier to handle during air travel and reduce the likelihood of damage.
Identify Stakeholders:
Airline carriers, Airline manufacturers, Wheelchair manufacturers, Passenger and boarding service providers and airline employees, Health Insurance providers and payers, Disability related consumer advocacy organizations, Government agencies, Wheelchair repair companies, Rehabilitation programs, and air travelers with functional impairments and caregivers
Scope summary
For efficient and safe handling and storage of many types of assistive technologies (AT) for passengers with mobility impairments (PWMI) on aircraft, the following will be created: a checklist of the dimensional, performance and instructional information to be physically and/or electronically associated with the AT; procedures and training for the handling of AT; labeling and design specifications for AT suitable for transport in commercial aircraft. Create and disseminate information for PWMI.

PVP Capital sues Deccan Chronicle promoters on aviation business defaults
In a fresh blow to Deccan Chronicle Holdings, one of its lenders PVP Capital has served a winding up notice to the group's nascent aviation business.
HYDERABAD: In a fresh blow to cash-strapped Deccan Chronicle Holdings, one of its lenders PVP Capital has served a winding up notice to the newspaper group's nascent aviation business for non-payment of dues.
This is the first time that a lender has sued DCHL's aviation business-Flyington Freighters-though several creditors have dragged the promoters to courts across the country on issues related to its media and cricket businesses.
Flyington Freighters is a closely held entity of the promoters of DCHL, which has been on life support for most of this year and owes its creditors at least Rs 5,000 crore. It had planned to enter the airline cargo business by developing an air-cargo hub in Hyderabad.
While Canara Bank, the lead banker of the lenders' consortium for DCHL, is doing a forensic auditing of the Hyderabad-based company's accounts to check for any discrepancies, companies like Karvy Stock Broking and state-run IFCI have charged the top management with fraud and forgery.
Flyington had in July 2006 reportedly agreed to buy four Boeing 777F cargo planes for about $1 billion (about Rs 5,500 crore now). But subsequently after getting a better offer from rival Airbus, it placed orders worth $2.4 billion with the European planemaker for 12 A330-200F aircraft.
However, Flyington could not commence operations because of excessive delays in getting the aircraft from Airbus, according to a complaint it filed with India's Competition Commission in April last year. In the complaint, Flyington accused Airbus of adopting discriminatory and onerous conditions for aircraft financing. PVP Capital-a part of the PVP Group-agreed to lend Rs 20 crore to Flyington and extended a loan of Rs 5 crore for which the promoters of DCHL stood as guarantors, said the person quoted above.
"We have served winding up notices and notices for cheque bounce," said PVP Group chairman Prasad V Potluri. "We will explore all the available options to recover our money."
PVP Group, one of the leading financiers and producers of movies in the south, had offered to buy Deccan Chronicle's cricket team for Rs 1,000 crore in September. However, the deal did not go through and subsequently the Board for Control of Cricket in India terminated Deccan Chronicle's ownership of the franchise in October. Chennai-based media conglomerate Sun Group later won the rights to the franchise after a fresh bidding process.
The DCHL promoters-Chairman Venkattram Reddy, his brother Vinayak Ravi Reddy and vice chairman PK Iyer-defaulted on payments of Rs 6.25 crore related to Flyington as on October 23.
Through an agreement dated July 25, the promoters had deposited the original share certificates of 80 lakh equity shares with PVP Capital. While Venkattram Reddy and his brother pledged 26.66 lakh shares each, vice-chairman Iyer pledged 6.66 lakh shares. Also, senior DCHL executive N Krishnan and Deepak Parasuraman, the managing director of Flyington Freighters, pledged 10 lakh shares each.
After the promoters failed to honour the cheques they issued, PVP Capital served notices to them under the Negotiable Instruments Act on November 3. Phone calls, emails and messages to the DCHL promoters remained unanswered.
As on March 2011, Flyington had Rs 10 crore of paid-up equity, Rs 92.73 crore of share application money and Rs 25.84 crore of liabilities. The company is yet to submit its latest balance sheet for March 2012 with the regulatory agencies.
After touching a new year-low of Rs 5.60, the Deccan Chronicle stock gained 5% to close at Rs 6.09 in Muhurat trading on Tuesday on BSE, the day that saw the exchange's benchmark Sensex losing 51 points to 18,618 points.

The most difficult section: Measure 53-61. It looks more difficult than it actually is though. The part is very similar to measures 45-52, but the left hand is more active.
Sustain Pedal: For most of this song, you should reset the sustain pedal whenever the left hand changes to a different chord. And to add some contrast, don't use the sustain pedal at all during measures 5-12.
To make this song easier: If you are having trouble with measures 53-61, you can leave them out and just play measures 45-52 two times in a row. It will mostly sound the same.

Wetsuits have barely dried since becoming the first people to swim the Minch, but the swim gr-eights are already eyeing a tougher challenge.
The eight-person swim team – with a slight team turnover – who swam into the headlines and earned themselves a Scottish Parliament motion last June – have now confirmed their plans to swim, relay style, from Horgabost, on Harris, to St Kilda, the dual World HeritageSite.
Swimming the Minch was a huge task, but compared to taking on the might of 60 miles of the Atlantic Ocean it is the equivalent of climbing Everest in flip-flops.
Unsurprisingly, swimming to St Kilda is a challenge which hasn't been attempted before.
However, the eight – Colin Macleod, Mark Maciver, Eilidh Whiteford, Chris Baker, Sandra Morrison, Douglas Forbes, John Dyer, and Alistair Glover – are taking the plunge to help raise the profile, and cash, for a trio of charities.
This time around, The Leanne Fund, The Fisherman's Mission and Yorkhill Children's Charity will all benefit from the monies raise by the daring swim.
Last time, the swimmers collected almost £24,000 for the RNLI through theMinch Swim, but team leader Colin Macleod is hoping that they will raise even more money this time.
Although the swimmers will be swimming solo in relay style through the ocean waters, they will be supported and steered in the right direction by three kayakers, with a support cabin cruiser also close by.
"It is a real challenge and one no-one has done before," smiled Colin, "and with a real chance of wildlife along the way."
The swim team expect to complete the challenge in around 60 hours when they take on the might of the Atlantic in late June or early July when the days are longest.
"There is a lot of determination in the team to do this.
"There is no doubt that it is a step up from the Minch swim, but we all can't wait to do it," continued Colin.
Fellow swimmer Mark picks up: "I think we learned a lot mentally from the Minch swim, which will help us this time. It cemented the team and we know what to expect, as so much of this challenge is a battle in your own head.
"The mental preparation is important, as physically we are all able to do it."
Meanwhile, this Christmas, you could have the St Kilda swim team in your stocking after they revealed plans for a fun festive calendar – complete with hilarious images of the team members decked in nothing but pairs of Harris 'Tweedos' (Tweed Speedos pictured inset) striking a variety of poses at some well-known island landmarks.
The 'Tweedos' were made up by Mairi Smith of the Harris Tweed Boutique especially for the charity calendar which is priced at just £8.
And with all proceeds boosting the team's charity pot, it could make the perfect addition to the pile of presents under your tree.
Available from Cameron's Chip Shop, online via the HebLife App and by contacting any member of the swim team, the calendar is on sale now.
The swim team would also like to thank Colin Cameron for taking the calendar photos, and also Midas Metallic and Sea Harris for their generous donations.

Efficient and economical lighting
Lighting accounts for much of the Biodôme's electricity use. In addition, different types of lighting are required for the office areas and the four ecosystems.
In office areas
Here fluorescent tubes were the rule. As they reached the end of their useful lives, they were replaced by more energy efficient tubes.
In the ecosystems
Huge Light bulbs are used to light the different ecosystems. Each ecosystem (Gulf of St. Lawrence, Laurentian Maple Forest, Tropical Rainforest, Labrador Coast and Sub-antartic Islands) requires a special type of lighting, because it is important to simulate the natural light in each environment as faithfully as possible for the plants and animals living there.
- Replacing outmoded equipment with more efficient technology has allowed the Biodôme to reduce its electricity use by close to 40%, with no effect whatsoever on lighting quality.
- Another benefit is that the electric hum from the old lighting system is almost imperceptible since September 2009.
Heat recovery and geothermal energy
One of the main energy challenges at the Biodôme is that its different climates are all together under one roof. Each ecosystem's climate must be maintained at all times, throughout the year, regardless of the season.
For instance,
- the Polar World requires air conditioning both winter and summer;
- the Tropical Forest has to be heated even in summer.
These varied and very distinct requirements mean that climate conditions must be precisely controlled to meet the vital needs of the plants and animals in each ecosystem.
Coming full circle: heat recovery
The energy-saving program identified the most inexpensive way of meeting all these demands: heat recovery. How does it work? Heat is taken from areas that require cooling and transferred to areas or ecosystems that need heating. This redistribution of available energy is an excellent way of optimizing resources. It also translates into major cost savings, since there is no longer any need to pay twice to cool certain areas and heat others at the same time.
Advanced equipment: a heat pump
To recover energy in this way, it takes a heat pump, which makes it possible to simultaneously chill a cold-water system for cooling and warm a hot-water system for heating.
How does a heat pump work? Think of the refrigerator in your kitchen. Thanks to a coolant that circulates through the piping, heat is extracted from the food inside and it is cooled. That heat is then evacuated outside the appliance. Put your hand behind your fridge and you'll see that it is warming up your kitchen, summer and winter!
Depending on the season and the outdoor temperature, it may be possible to meet all the heating needs of the different ecosystems with energy recovered from the cooled zones. At some points during the year, some additional heating will be necessary. The Biodôme can then rely on a geothermal heating system to meet these needs.
The water table, a heat source
The water table lies some twenty metres below the Biodôme. The water there remains at a stable temperature of about 12ºC all year long. A heat pump can draw on this heat source when the building's energy recovery system isn't up to the job. Only the energy in this underground water will be used, and all the water pumped from the water table will be returned there.
Ventilation and water filtration
New technology for optimizing motors.
Ventilation and water filtration: essential systems
At the Biodôme, air quality is a very important factor in maintaining each of the ecosystems.
- Many electrical motors are required to maintain healthy conditions in all the ecosystems and work areas. They distribute clean air through the building's different ventilation systems.
- Other motors are used to pump water through the many basins in the different ecosystems.
All these motors run full out all day long, consuming enormous amounts of electricity.
VSDs to the rescue
A new technology known as a VSD (variable speed drive) makes it possible to adjust the fan and pump motors to the specific needs of each ecosystem throughout the day, resulting in substantial energy savings.
VSD benefits
- The amount of fresh air needed inside the building depends directly on the number of people there at the time and the temperature level to be maintained. With VSDs, the electric motors can easily be adjusted to meet demand. They no longer need to be run at full speed all the time!
- In addition, the pumps used to circulate water in the ecosystem basis don't all do the same amount of work – it all depends on the filtration. By varying the power of the filtration pumps, the Biodôme can save valuable kilowatt-hours. Remember that these pumps work around the clock every day, to ensure proper water quality for the marine plants and animals.

Plato argues that wisdom based on truth and reason is at the heart of the just person and the just society. He divides the general population into three classes that correspond to the three elements of the individual soul - reason, appetite and spirit.
- the statesmen (reason - philosopher)
- the general civilian population that provides for material needs (appetites - pleasure seeker)
- the executive force - army and police (spirit - man of action)
This division is made on the basis of education provided for by the state, not by birth or wealth. Everyone is assigned to an appropriate rank through a process of examination. The state is just if it is ordered in this way, because each of the elements plays its own part and keeps within its boundaries. Such a society is a true aristocracy (rule by the best).
Plato considers aristocracy to be preferable to democracy (where people or the 'mob' rule), plutocracy (where the rich rule) or oligarchy (where a clique rules).

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon and other elections officials are calling on the Legislature to free up federal funds for election security.
The federal government has given Minnesota $6.6 million to bolster election cybersecurity. But the secretary of state can't spend that money until the Legislature passes an authorizing bill.
Simon said Wednesday that he's sounding the alarm because time is short, with the session heading toward a finish this weekend. A provision allocating the money is embedded in a broader bill that Gov. Mark Dayton has threatened to veto for unrelated reasons.
Simon called for lawmakers to send the governor a separate "clean" bill to free up the first $1.5 million installment.
Simon says Russians tried to hack the 2016 elections and he expects them to try again.
