FAB: Features, Advantages and Benefits of Social Media in Healthcare
Having and effectively using an online presence—website, social media, etc.—is a primary channel for connections between patients and providers. It is the principal means for the newly empowered healthcare consumer to find and act upon authoritative information.
Just for starters, actively using social media in healthcare includes these points of value:
- Establish patient (and prospective patient) connections
- Engage a targeted audience and grow relationships
- Speak to individuals with common healthcare interests and issues
- Assess, manage and extend professional reputation and/or promote your brand
- Provide a friendly, low-key environment for timely interaction
- Demonstrate advocacy, thought leadership and professional opinions
- Facilitate service and not selling
- Solicit ideas and exchange timely information
- Showcase community activities and professional achievements
- Provide awareness and education about specialty and experience
- Attract, recruit, retain and train professional colleagues
- Promote a healthy lifestyle, compliance and personal health management
- Reach reporters, journalists and bloggers
- Facilitates emergency/crisis/disaster communications
- Fundraising information, as appropriate, for non-profit and foundation purposes
- Reveal the personalized, "people side" of healthcare providers and staff
- Leverage and extend your online presence for greater involvement and visibility
- Use success stories to illustrate capabilities
Additionally, embracing social media could help doctors reduce workloads by moving some interactions that are currently done by phone or in the office to faster and more convenient social media platforms. (Tell us what you would add to this list in the comment section below.)
It's no longer a matter of IF…it's all about the HOW…
Physicians and hospitals are personally well acquainted with social media and the Internet as a professional resource. But within the provider, hospital and healthcare sectors, there is a significant opportunity to extend the uses and effectiveness of social media.
Some of the key considerations in harnessing social media tools include:
- Focus on the dominant and most familiar SM platforms. The big names are the popular sites…and that's where you'll find most of the people.
- Identify the tools most favored by your target audience. With rare exception, your social media plan will primarily consider and use only a few—but mightily important—sites. (See the item above.)
- Don't begin more than you can consistently maintain. There is no initial cost for most social media sites (although most have an optional, paid advertising model). But there is an ongoing commitment to the time and attention to regularly update and refresh social media. A neglected social media presence can do more harm than good in the long run.
- Social media facilitates dialogue, not monologue. Incorporate active listening to hear the voice of the consumer and to understand what's important to (and needed by) the audience.

Although reasons for further pessimism abound, some big Hong Kong investors, such as Mark Mobius, the high-profile president of Templeton Emerging Markets Fund, believe that Hong Kong offers good value at the current lower prices.
Nevertheless most brokers are not prepared to stick their necks out and predict any sudden turnaround. Hong Kong shares may well be trading at giveaway prices, but there is no escaping the market's location in a region which is being deserted in droves by big institutional players.
Moreover, the very liquidity of the Hong Kong market and the fact that it has not lost all the gains made during the past year, make Hong Kong shares the target for sales by fund managers under pressure to raise cash. With investors queuing up to sell their South-east Asian funds, the managers need money to pay for the redemptions.
While this selling pressure lasts, Hong Kong's blue chip index, predominantly traded by institutions, will have a hard time making a recovery. However the rest of the market, which is dominated by local investors, is moving in a different direction.
While blue chips were losing almost 5 per cent of their value last Friday, China-related shares - the so called "red chips" heavily favoured by local investors - shed less than 1 per cent in value. At the same time, the index tracking medium-sized companies fell only 1.5 per cent and the broader all ordinaries index dropped by 3.8 per cent.
In these circumstances, blue chips are in the unusual position of increasingly trading at a discount to the rest of the market. Cheung Kong, the flagship company of Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's most influential businessman, is now trading on a price/earnings ratio of under 14. This is fraction of the valuation placed on most leading red chip companies, which would seem to reflect confidence that these groups will weather current storms.
Determined optimists may also take heart from the banking cartel's decision last Friday not to raise interest rates. The high level of overnight rates, caused by occasional pressure on the Hong Kong dollar, could have triggered a general rise in interest rates. However, while other Asian currencies have tumbled, the Hong Kong dollar has managed to preserve its fixed link with the US dollar without much fluctuation.
The aggressive market activities of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority have maintained this stability, but at a price in interest rate terms: on some days the overnight interbank rate, at which banks borrow from each other, has exceeded the rate of interest they are earning from prime customers.

Addressing a raucous rally of thousands of supporters, Mr Bossi demanded commitments to federalism and free-market economics in return for entering government, and set a six-month deadline for their implementation. 'Within the new government we want two specific mandates for the League's ministers: a mandate to write a new federalist constitution . . . and a mandate to write an anti- trust law like they have in America,' he said.
Mr Bossi said the League would bring down the government and lead a northern breakaway if it did not get swift action. 'If changes do not come about quickly . . . we'll be back here in six months, having brought down the government, to say there is no chance of changing. Then the north will go its own way.'
The League teamed up with the Forza Italia party of media magnate Silvio Berlusconi and Gianfranco Fini's neo-Fascists in a right-wing Freedom Alliance, which emerged triumphant from the ballot box in last month's elections. But attempts at forming Italy's 53rd post-war government have been hamstrung by Mr Bossi's demands on federalism, and his veto on Mr Berlusconi becoming prime minister.
In Rome, Mr Berlusconi said yesterday he was considering setting up an independent trust to run his businesses while he was in politics. The tycoon, one of Italy's richest men, said a clear division had to be drawn between political life and private interests, and it was just a question of finding the most suitable method.
'I realise it is not enough just to declare oneself an honourable man . . . (we need to find) a solution that shuts out any kind of speculation, particularly on the part of the opposition,' he told a political rally.
He said he was considering establishing a blind trust, following a US example. Under a blind trust, a business is run by independent executives, often drawn from banks, and the owner is not party to any decisions.
Mr Berlusconi, who stepped down as president of Fininvest before the elections but remains its sole shareholder, said during the campaign he was ready to sell some of the business. But Fininvest executives have come out strongly against breaking up the group, which is Italy's second largest family-controlled company after Fiat.

The bones of 24 dismembered and decapitated bodies have been found in a mass grave in the ancient Mayan city of Uxul. Archaeologists were studying the water system when they came across the find, which lends credence to depictions of violence in the art of that time period. "After the 24 victims had been buried, the pre-Hispanic Maya covered the remains with a coarse layer of gravel and sealed it with a clay layer. Due to this sealing layer, the documented bones were found in an extraordinarily good state of preservation," said archaeologist Nicolaus Seefeld of the University of Bonn in Germany.

Welcome to ProMetro! ProMetro is Sustainable Cities' new podcast series where we interview members of our esteemed Advisory Board on current cities and urban issues-- SCC's version of 'Fireside Chats'.
The first of these talks is with board member Warren Karlenzig, founder and president of CommonCurrent, a consulting firm that works with organizations and governments to maximize sustainability. He's got an amazing list of credentials… check his profile out at the sidebar, or in any of his recent posts. Today Warren will begin to discuss the Shanghai Manual, a major "Best Practices" sustainability guide by the UN that he was integral in drafting. The manual is aimed at large cities, to help 'leapfrog' sustainable development learning curves. It's an amazing project to be released on Halloween.
Enjoy and please leave feedback!

Rick Rybeck says:
The Shanghai Manual provides a great overview of sustainability approaches. For example, high-quality transit can be very helpful. So public funds are spent creating high-quality transit. Then, land prices around the stations rise and additional public funds are spent so that low- and moderate-income people can live near the transit that they need. While this leads to greater environmental sustainability, it is not financially sustainable. The manual does provide some helpful policy suggestions, such as Policy 19 in Chapter Four- Transportation.
Encourage innovative financing mechanisms for sustainable transport infrastructure and operations through measures, such as parking levies, fuel pricing, time-of-day automated road user charging, and public-private partnerships such as land value capture, including consideration of carbon markets, wherever feasible
Some of these funding mechanisms not only raise needed revenues, but also can influence transportation demand and transit-oriented land use. For officials and practitioners who desire greater specificity, some suggestions and tools can be found in a report, "Funding Infrastructure for Growth, Sustainability and Equity."

Speaking at The Times CEO Summit yesterday, Willie Walsh, chief executive of BA's parent company, International Airlines Group, conceded for the first time that the Government's decision to cancel expansion at Heathrow had killed the prospect of a new runway for good.
"I agree the third runway will never be built at Heathrow," Mr Walsh said, responding to a speech by Boris Johnson, the Mayor

Jay-Z and Kanye West Come Under Fire Over 'Ni**as in Paris' Video
Jay-Z and Kanye West land in hot water due to their newly-premiered video for single "Ni**as in Paris". The two rappers are slammed by a U.K. epilepsy group for filling the clip with frantic-changing kaleidoscopic performance scenes, which could potentially trigger seizures. A warning included in it is deemed not sufficient enough by the group.
The group's campaigns manager Stacey Rennard additionally denied claim in the warning note that mentioned the video has been identified by Epilepsy Action. "Epilepsy Action was not consulted about this video, although we now know that watching it does pose a risk to people with photosensitive epilepsy," so Stacey said.
"We are pleased to see that a warning has been put in place to make people with photosensitive epilepsy aware that the video may be harmful. However, the warning does not go far enough and the video is still potentially dangerous. Many people with photosensitive epilepsy, especially young people, do not know they have it until something triggers their first seizure."
Stacey then scolded Kanye for continuing to make potentially-harmful video after he got similar complaint last year due to his "All of the Lights" clip. "We would like to see the music industry show much more responsibility by not commissioning videos that contain potentially dangerous imagery," she stated.
A spokeswoman for Epilepsy Action Louise Cousins additionally explained to MTV News, "Photosensitive epilepsy is most prevalent in those aged 7 to 19. Everybody has a 'seizure threshold,' but somebody may have a tendency to have seizures but not come into contact with anything that has so far triggered it in them [until they view the video]."

Bought this as a gift as I know the tea is great quality and the packaging is beautiful! Thanks iHerb for pricing this so competitively!!
Good, but the price is a little high for day-to-day
Posted by 5443123270177162055 on Jun 07, 2015
I liked it a lot, but the price is a little high for day-to-day - I might buy it again to have in the cupboard for days were something a little extra is needed. (Had the price been the same as, let's say, Twinings English Breakfast I would most definitely buy this one. I suspect the tin is part of the price-problem. The tin is absolutely lovely and you can re-use it, but still...)

New to Android and HTC One M8
Hi Everyone,
I've switched from iOS/iPhone after being on that bandwagon since 07. I'm loving the Android OS and my HTC One M8.
I'm just a little lost in how to customize.
I like the look of these theme but I don't know where to start on how to get that on my phone:

Re: New to Android and HTC One M8
It's been a few months since I've used MCS, since buying my iPhone.
When I used it, there would be a tutorial or setup video, along with links to things you would need to download and buy, eg. Nova Launcher Prime, certain icon packs, widgets, etc. You might be better off watching some of the beginner videos on the MCS YouTube account and then go from there.

I would suggest these:
[GUIDE] Getting Started with Android (2014), Part I: Intro, Homescreens, Settings
[GUIDE] Getting Started with Android (2014), Part II: Installing Apps, Managing Media
[GUIDE] Getting Started with Android (2014), Part III: Managing Contacts
Grab a good cup of coffee, read those over and maybe jot down a few notes. There is a wealth of information in there.

O.C. graduation rate at 81.7%
Orange County's high school graduation reached 81.7 percent for the Class of 2010, with a dropout rate of about 14 percent, according to new figures released Thursday.
This was the first year graduation and dropout rates were calculated using the state's new California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System, which tracked student classes, or cohorts, over a four-year period.
Both figures represent a poorer performance than the 87.9 percent graduation rate and 13 percent dropout rate Orange County posted in 2009 under the state's older, less sophisticated tracking system, but officials say the switch in reporting tools means the two years can't be fairly compared.
Click here to see a database of graduation rates for all O.C. high schools.
Statewide, the graduation rate for 2010 was 74.4 percent, while the dropout rate was 18 percent.
Graduates are defined as students who earned a diploma with their high school class. Dropouts are students who didn't earn a diploma, stopped attending classes and have not re-enrolled to continue their education, state officials said.
Each year, some students fail to earn a diploma because of a lack of credits, or other reasons, but still continue working toward their degree. They are considered neither graduates nor dropouts.
State Superintendent Tom Torlakson said the new CalPADS tool is the most accurate measurement available for tracking graduation and dropout rates.
The system follows students in the same cohort or graduating class using a unique identification code as they begin as freshman and ascend through high school.
The system follows students when they transfer from one school to another, or move across the state. CalPADS does not track students who move out of state or to another country.
In previous years, districts often overestimated graduation figures by not calculating the students they lost track of, Torlakson said.
"For far too long, the discussion about graduation and dropout rates has revolved around how the results were obtained. Now, we can focus on the much more important issue of how to raise the number of graduates and lower the number of dropouts," Torlakson said in a statement.
However, the future of the CalPADS remains unclear with the ongoing budget crisis. Gov. Jerry Brown in May proposed eliminating the system, but later approved using $6.6 million in federal funds to keep it going. Some educators worry the system could once again face elimination if school funding is again slashed later this year, or next year.
Santa Ana Unified School District Trustee John Palacio said schools need more reliable dropout data, not less, and that even the new CalPADS tool has its limitations.
"The system is getting better in providing a much more realistic profile, but we still have a long ways to go," Palacio said. "The dropout rate still doesn't count those who don't graduate, but do finish 12th grade, such as those who don't have enough credits or don't pass the California High School Exit Exam. What happens to them? They aren't counted as a dropout, but they didn't graduate."
Locally, Irvine Unified School District's graduation rate of 96.8 percent was the highest.
Santa Ana had the lowest rate of 79.5 percent. (Fullerton Joint Union High School District had a reported graduation rate of 67 percent, but state officials said they believe there are some data errors in that district.)
Oxford Academy in Cypress and University High in Irvine had among the highest graduation rates, 98.6 percent and 97.2 percent respectively. Santa Ana's Saddleback High and Valley High schools' graduation rates of 64.9 percent and 67.2 percent were among the lowest for comprehensive high schools.
Garden Grove Unified School District had the highest dropout rate, 14.4 percent. Irvine's dropout rate of 2 percent was the lowest countywide.
Garden Grove Unified spokesman Alan Trudell said the district – Orange County's third largest – has a number of intervention programs in place to combat its dropout rate.
"This is a large district with a diverse population," Trudell said. "Our numbers as reported today are still significantly below the state average. But we make no excuses. We use a multi-faceted approach to keep kids on track."
Garden Grove schools have rolled out a number of intervention programs, including a school attendance review board to combat truancy, student study teams to identify struggling students, and community liaisons and outreach specialists that work with families of struggling kids.
"There is no acceptable number for dropouts," Trudell said.

lol yet another stocking question for the forum
okay so i have a 55 gallon thats on its way to being cycled so heres what i was thinking:
-1 convict
-2 blue acaras
-1 kissing gourami
-2 bristlenose pleco (or something else for algae suggestions?)
now if i have more room i was thinking in addition to the above:
-1 firemouth
- some kribs or something else i id like a group of smaller fish that maybe/probably wouldn't be eaten by the others
-maybe a bottom dweller or two get some action going on the bottom maybe something that'll eat fry the blue acara might push out cuz i have no space for them
any suggestions would be much appreciated thx all :0)
lol i forgot to phrase my question do i have enough room for these fishys? it seems to be ok based on stuff ive read online like that 55 gallon cichlid cookie cutter thing and such but theres some wacky stuff out there on the interweb soo...
Were it me, I would go with One Blue acara,One covict,One firemouth, One Bristlenose and perhaps a Rainbow shark. Would decorate with with rock formations and driftwood.
Plants would be Java Fern and Anubia attached to the rocks and wood with thread until the roots attached themselves to the rocks and wood.8-)
so how about 1 firemouth, 1 blue acara, 1 kissing gourami, 1 bristlenose pleco, and 1 rainbow shark? maybe 3 kribs or rams?

Alameda, California
Island Auto Movie Drive-in, Alameda, California. Opened 1950.
A storm in 1991 destroyed the screen at this theater. Oddly enough, after the expense and labor of replacing it, the theater never re-opened. The site continued as a weekend swap meet until 1995 when it was closed and abandoned. It was demolished in 1997, and a housing subdivision was built shortly thereafter on the site.

The AHL switched the first round of their playoffs from a best-of-seven to a best-of-five this year, but in the process they forced some higher seeds to make a very difficult decision. The OKC Barons will start their series, v. the #8 seed Houston Aeros, on the road, despite finishing first in the western conference. The Barons are one of five teams who faced this dilemma.

So far the first round of the playoffs have been even better than I expected. There has been everything from high to low scoring games, great to bad goaltending and some of the most physical hockey seen in many years.

Alex Plante started this hockey season with some question marks. His progression had been slow, the organization had traded for a very similar prospect in Colten Teubert and Plante was hindered by foot speed issues.

Well, my iphieons, early daffodils and miniature irises are blooming
which is normal for Feb. Oh, and the one crocus the squirrels missed.
But my species tulips and leucojums are blooming already and that is
quite early for them. Of course it's been Springlike for the past week
or two, so not surprising I guess.
Also the winter honeysuckle, regular honeysuckles, rosemary shrubs and
pansies are blooming like crazy too. I even have buds on my Wild Thing
salvias already - very odd.

iwas sitting on a black and white striped kerb under a street lamp in front of the dipped headlights of Ahmed's car. In my hand was a half- full bottle of Coca-Cola, and my ears were being assaulted by Brunei's musical equivalent of Ozzy Osbourne.
When the sets of headlights swept towards us, we turned to see a large group of men getting out of three cars. Twelve. I had counted them, and worked out that they definitely weren't friendly, even before two of them hurled Ahmed against the car.
Definitely not friendly.
One of the men came over, and stood above me as I sat on the kerb. I stood up balancing on the raised kerb edge. Trying to look taller and, of course, blonder than him. Sometimes it worked. He was wearing typical gang-gear. But it couldn't be too serious - he wasn't wearing cowboy boots.
He asked, in Malay, for my ID card.
"I only speak English. Sorry."
He repeated the order, in broken English. I insisted on seeing his first. He gave me his card. I looked at it, and tried to smile - the type of smile I imagined you're supposed to flash, in the company of 12 secret policemen. I didn't have my ID Card, I had been caught alone with an unmarried Muslim boy, and I was a young, European girl. This time, I was in Trouble.
Another policeman was writing in his notebook, after some consultation with the others. He was, I discovered later, busily describing the "soft lighting", "romantic music" and the "beer".
After much deliberation, they decided not to handcuff us. They shoved us into separate cars. I sat, squashed between two of the policemen - who were pressing against me as closely as possible - while the tubby young man in the passenger seat was telling me that I would probably be forced to marry Ahmed.
I went very quietly for the rest of the journey.
I stayed quiet in the local police station. Leaping up only when I heard Ahmed shout from a distant interview room. Handcuffs were waved at me and I sat down again.
They took me to "Another place, not here", and told me that Ahmed would not be following. Suddenly, I became frightened, rather than just angry and worried.
When we drove to the Central Police Station I was relieved. Relieved that I was, at least, being taken somewhere official. But then I remembered the rumours I'd heard about what went on in the cells there.
They wouldn't let me call my parents. Instead, I was taken to a tiny room and surrounded by plain-clothes policemen. One of them, leaning against some lockers, was sneering at me. "So?" he said.
So? "I want to call my parents," I tried.
"No. What were you doing with that boy?"
"I really think my parents should be here. We were talking."
"I don't believe you!" He was shouting, now. His English was surprisingly fluent. "Who is that boy?"
"He is a schoolmate. In the local school. I was there last year." "Schoolmate? I don't believe you! What is the name?"
"His name!"
"Full name?"
"I don't know. Abdul Ahmed something, I think."
"I don't think so. Not yet." I knew that Ahmed hadn't' gone to Mecca yet.
"What were you doing with him?"
"Talking. Please let me call my parents." I didn't like begging. But if it was what would get me out of this ...
It went on for a long time. He was shouting at me, and then moving closer. He was a lot bigger than I was. The others were watching. Most of them, I remember, were laughing. He was trying to make me cry, or something. But because I knew it, I wouldn't let myself get upset. He went on shouting the same questions over and over again. And then, finally, he asked for my home phone number.
I half whispered it, in relief.
He tried three times before I remembered the phone was left off the hook at night.
An escort took me to another part of the building. Ahmed was sitting on a bench.
"Did they ... do anything?" He had come because he had been worried.
"No, how about you?"
"No worries, lah. They said they are jealous because of you."
A uniformed policeman came over. He crouched down in front of me. I stared fixedly at the wall. He sniggered.
"I like the blue eyes," he said, and touched my hair.
Eventually, two policemen were dispatched to my parent's house. After a long delay - because he'd had a flat tyre on the way - Dad arrived to take me home.
The next day, the policeman who had shouted the most, rang me.
"Can I take you to dinner?"
As I put the phone down on this voice, I hoped that he wouldn't be giving evidence in court.
On the day, no one gave evidence in court. Ahmed and I were put in separate rooms, to write statements. In the huge, dirty, stuffy courtroom, which managed to look like it was modelled on the Western ones, there was a Khadi, a representative of the Religious Police; his assistant; Ahmed; my father and me. Six of us. A judge, two prosecutors, two defendants, and a helpless onlooker. It was several minutes before I realised that the defending lawyer I had, in my Western ignorance, anticipated, was non-existent.
They used the formal form of Malay, and I only knew a little street-talk. I still do not know if the statement that was read out in my name had anything in common with the one I had actually written. After these statements had been read, the Khadi summoned Ahmed to the stand, and barked several questions at him. And then, apparently, we were free to go.
When we left the court room, I frantically asked Ahmed what was to happen to us.
"Sorry. You didn't understand?" He was gentle. Caring.
"No. Nothing."
"The judge. The Khadi. He was kind. I am at school, and have no money. Because of this, we don't have to marry. But before we were inside he told me that if I wanted to be your husband, then he would force you! But I know you lah. I said no." He smiled, kindly.
"Thank you." I smiled too. "What else?"
"I have to pay a fine. Sudah. I already did that. Now I can't see you for two years."
"Anything else?" After all the drama, I couldn't believe that it was all over so easily.
"Maybe. If I go on the Haji. To Mecca. I will get it back. The money. That is all. It is OK now. No worries, lah."
No worries, lah. As we walked out into the street, the midday sunshine was reflecting off the river. It looked beautiful. And then I suddenly began to feel as though I was being watched. I turned around. Two men, in baseball caps, T-shirts and jeans were squatting in the delicate shade of a palm-tree. Two young, typical-looking Brunei men. Looking exactly the same as the secret police. I would never know. That feeling of being constantly watched stayed with me until I left.

New London - One day after the Board of Education voted 6-1 without explanation to not renew the superintendent's contract, four board members shed some light on their reasons for voting the way they did.
They said infrequent communication, intimidation and lack of respect for elected city officials were some of the reasons why they didn't renew Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer's contract beyond the 2013-14 school year.
But the chairman of the school board said Friday that it was "not such a big thing" that the board didn't extend the contract without an explanation.
"I don't know why they were shocked to hear nothing," Margaret Curtin said. "We did the same thing last year. I think more explanation would have to come if we were firing him. This is just a matter of maintaining the contract to 2014. It's not such a big thing. We're just not renewing. We're not firing."
Board member Liz Garcia Gonzalez said the board had planned to go into executive session to discuss the contract. The board held the discussion in open session at Fischer's request.
"In public, we have to watch what we say because of legal matters, so I had reservations about doing this in public and I would have preferred to talk in executive session, and then if needed, discuss in public," Garcia Gonzalez said. "I do respect Dr. Fischer. I have nothing negative against him, but the only thing was not receiving information on time. He was open to communication from board members, but at times when we would go to the meetings, we would have to learn some of the things as the public does, so it was getting frustrating."
Fischer's contract expires on June 30, 2014. Next year will be his fifth running the New London school system.
Fischer said on Friday that the board should have provided the public with answers Thursday.
"The reason why there is Freedom of Information and the reason why there are Sunshine laws is to try to prevent governing bodies from making decisions and not letting the public know why they made the decision," he said. "One of the reasons I wanted an open session was because I think it's important for the public to know the thinking behind each board member's decision and vote, and they didn't get it."
When the district's special master, Steven Adamowski - who wasn't at the meeting on Thursday - makes his status report to the State Board of Education in June, he could recommend either that Fischer remain as superintendent or be replaced. He could also recommend a reconstitution of the school board.
The state board has the discretion to choose how to intervene, if at all, after receiving Adamowski's report.
Bill Morse was the only board member who voted against the nonrenewal Thursday, saying after the meeting that he would have liked to extend the contract to 2015.
"My concern has always been student academic achievement. I was with the former administration, and it seemed to me the area that was critical was literacy," Morse said Friday. "When Fischer came on board, he asked each person what their highest priority was, and I said, 'Get the students to read.' He's done that. Our reading and math scores are up, and it's part of changes that have been pushed through the system from the top down."
He said to cut the contract short while the district is transitioning to an all-magnet school district and also working on a positive relationship with the state board is "reckless."
"I'm not voting on behalf of the board, I'm voting on behalf of the students," he said.
Member Jason Catala said the superintendent doesn't always work as a "team player."
"I know he says that he's approachable, but I also find that there are times where he's not the most approachable person," Catala said. "It's great that he has an open-door policy, but there were situations where some people felt intimidated by him. I'm of the team approach, we want someone who will work as a team."
He said a concerning display of lack of respect occurred when Fischer walked out of City Council Chambers last year because a council member was late to the meeting.
"Situations like that, where people are going to be giving us our bottom line dollars and he didn't hold respect for them," Catala said. "He's created what he feels he's created, and it's time for him to move forward and for us to move on with our success."
Board member Barbara Major said the thought of establishing a search committee for the next superintendent has "been in the back of the minds" of board members and that she personally would like the search to be nationwide.
"I would like a national search, not just of superintendents, but someone who's a chief operating officer. You need more business sense with the budget," Major said. "We're trying to do what we think will bring our district forward. We thank him for his service, but we're looking for a little something different. We wish him well."

Jewish leaders have protested strongly in private over the timing of an address by Pope Benedict XVI to the Houses of Parliament.
They are angry that the event is due to end just before the start of prayer and fasting to mark Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the faith's calendar. Observant Jews are required to be at synagogue at sunset the night before Yom Kippur. Yet the papal address to 1,800 parliamentarians and faith leaders in Westminster Hall is due to end barely an hour before dusk on 17 September.
The timing will prevent the Chief Rabbi, Lord Sacks, and other Jewish leaders from being in the audience for the speech on reconciliation of faiths.
Attempts to soothe the row resulted in a compromise under which the Chief Rabbi would attend a lecture by the Pope earlier in the day. In a statement, Lord Sacks insisted that he did not regard the timing as a "slight" on the Jewish community.
However, The Independent understands that feelings ran high among Jewish leaders over the timing of the address. One source said: "They were not just angry – they went thermonuclear. There's an irony that the Pope is speaking about trust and reconciliation, but representatives of a major faith will be not there to hear him.
"No one is going to trust to luck with London Underground in the hope that they can get back home in time for sunset."

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. The house was beautiful and very large, definitely big enough for large family gatherings. Looks just like in the pictures. Had a small problem with double oven not being cleaned, but homeowner was super nice and came over immediately to clean it. We were lucky enough to have some of the basketball team over for a pasta dinner and had plenty of room to entertain them. We would definitely rent this house again!
It's a beautiful cozy home. Very friendly and helpful management. It was a perfect fit for a group of travelers. just wish it wasn't so far from downtown. Didn't get to enjoy the amenities in the home because we weren't there very much since it was too hard to travel back in fourth while spending most of our time downtown.
The setting is fantastic with beautiful views from all of the windows and the fireplace provided the perfect place for our family photograph.
We had bedrooms for all except one and he used an air mattress in the office. The kitchen is open and easy to work in as a group - so we could visit while cooking and doing the clean up.
This house was the perfect place for out family gathering!
Excellent accommodations! We were well taken care of by the owner/manager. Everything exceeded our expectations. Every bedroom has it's own personal bathroom. Our group ended up going to Grant Farm for a outing (which is reasonably close, inexpensive and entertaining). Our weekend together was relaxed, and Appolonia Estates lends itself fully to guests having a convivial time :-)
We loved our stay. The house was immaculate, the owner left detailed instructions on how to manage the home. We had plenty of space, an ample amount of supplies (towel, sheets, heaters, fans, toilet, dishes, toilet paper etc. The owner was always available for questions as well. I would definitely rent this place again.
Our family attended a reunion in St. Louis and rented this house so that the aunts, cousins, grandparents and kids can stay together. There was plenty of seating and everyone had a great time. Everyone marveled at the house and how nice and comfortable it was. There was one day where electricity went our for a few hours, but the owner of house was very easy to get in touch with. We would definitely consider renting again if we ever came back to MO.

Appropriately enough, given that these projects are the work of three of the eight health service managers in the group of 48 people graduating from Ashridge's part- and full-time MBAs this year, the degrees will be awarded by Alan Langlands, chief executive of the NHS. Many of the recipients have been supported through their one- or two-year programmes by NHS bursaries worth more than pounds l5,000 each because Ashridge is one of a small band of business schools approved for running career-development courses for health service managers.
One of the latest of the 22 health service staff who have studied for the MBA since it began nine years ago is Helen Glenister, nursing director of the Medical Devices Agency. Prior to joining the organisation that since 1994 has been charged with ensuring that products as varied as hospital beds and syringes meet safety, quality and performance standards, Dr Glenister worked at the Oxfordshire and Anglia Health Trust and the East Anglia Regional Health Authority. She says the MBA met her expectations of preparing her for the wider implications of a management role.
Similar aims were behind Ann Ingham's decision to study at the college in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. A trained nurse who moved into management at the time of the Government's health service reforms in 1990, she is executive director of Tameside Acute Services NHS Trust in Lancashire. "A greater awareness of finance, marketing and team-working skills, and the ability to understand `the vocabulary' of management was an invaluable result," she says.
This widening of horizons was also cited by Paula Friend, a senior manager with the Worthing and Southlands NHS Trust in West Sussex who added that the emphasis on strategy had helped her become more pro-active in relation to planning.
At the same time the participants - and their organisations - had gained specific benefits through having to complete projects that were essentially live consultancy programmesn
