Employers should proceed cautiously in terminating the employment of an employee that they know will be imminently undergoing a major medical procedure and requiring time off work. Even if the medical procedure and time off are not the primary reasons for the termination, they may be found to be factors in the termination.
Timothy Pritchard began employment with the Commissionaires Great Lakes (the "Commissionaires") on March 10, 2008 as a Director of Professional Services.
Pritchard was diagnosed with severe arthritis. On May 6, 2010, he informed his employer that he would be having hip replacement surgery on June 16, 2012 and that he would require eight to twelve weeks off work to recover. Pritchard proposed that his time off be funded by 23 days of accumulated sick time, two weeks of accumulated vacation, and an advance on his annual vacation time.
On June 7, 2010, Pritchard was asked by a member of the Commissionaires' executive team to review a copy of his offer of employment. When Pritchard asked if his employment was being terminated, he was advised that it was not, but that his role was being reviewed at the next executive meeting.
On June 9, 2010, the Commissionaires advised Pritchard that his employment was being terminated effective immediately. As the Chief Executive Officer was away at that time, Pritchard did not receive a termination letter until June 22, 2010. In accordance with the terms of Pritchard's offer letter, the Commissionaires provided him with three months' salary in lieu of notice. Pritchard was not, however, paid out any sick days as, according to the Commissionaires' policy, sick days have "no monetary value" after the end of employment. Several months later, on September 28, 2010, the Commissionaires posted for a "Manager, Sale of Training" position, which was similar to Pritchard's position.
Pritchard brought a human rights application claiming discrimination on the basis of disability in the termination of his employment.
At the hearing, Pritchard questioned the timing of his termination, asserting that his direct manager and everyone around him knew his surgery was coming. Witnesses for the Commissionaires testified that when business declined, the Commissionaires needed to reduce overhead in the London region, where Pritchard was employed. The Commissionaires admitted that they were aware of Pritchard's hip replacement surgery and his need for time off, but denied that it was a factor in their decision to terminate his employment. Finally, the Commissionaires noted that the new position posted in September 2010 was for Toronto, not the London area.
Vice Chair Brian Eyofson of the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal held that Pritchard's medical condition, severe arthritis requiring a hip replacement and absence from work for approximately 2.5 months, constituted a disability under the Human Rights Code. The Tribunal also found that Pritchard's pending disability-related absence from work was a factor in the termination of his employment: the termination of Pritchard's employment occurred with considerable haste, five business days before his scheduled hip replacement surgery. The Commissionaires were aware of the timing of Pritchard's surgery and the time off he required. Moreover, while the Commissionaires paid Pritchard three months of salary upon termination in accordance with his offer letter, by terminating Pritchard's employment when it did, the Commissionaires avoided paying him the over four weeks of accumulated sick days that he would have received had he remained employed.
As Pritchard reemployed following the Labour Day weekend, the Tribunal ordered the Commissionaires to pay Pritchard the difference between his salary at the Commissionaires and his new salary from the date upon which he reemployed until the date that this new employment ended in January 2011. The Tribunal also awarded Pritchard $10,000 for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, citing the embarrassment Pritchard experienced when his employment was terminated, the stress of losing employment five days before hip replacement surgery, and the impact on his recovery from surgery of having to look for new employment.

Extremes: Great Deserts of the Southern Hemisphere
The temporary exhibition Extremes: Great Deserts of the Southern Hemisphere moved from concept to developmental phase during 2003-2004.
The exhibition will showcase the great deserts of the Southern Hemisphere, including the Namib and Kalahari (in Africa), the Atacama (in South America) and Australia's Red Centre. Following the Tropic of Capricorn it will take the visitor on a journey through the archaeology and landscapes of the southern deserts, showcasing the human histories of some of the harshest environments ever occupied by people. Extremes firmly positions the National Museum as a scholarly institution with connections to the world's leading archaeologists and earth scientists in this field.
During the year the curatorial team completed the object and image lists, and draft text for the exhibition. As part of the research, Museum personnel travelled to Chile, Argentina, Namibia, South Africa and Botswana to work with local museum staff in those countries to select museum pieces for the exhibition, to collect supporting material from local craft agencies and to collect natural history specimens.
In September, with the assistance of the Australian Embassy in Santiago, Museum personnel met with Chilean government agencies in Santiago to secure high-level governmental approval for the loan and export of archaeological remains for the exhibition.
The exhibition now has strong support from a range of overseas museums, universities and government agencies.
During planning for the exhibition, the Museum worked with an Expert Advisory Group comprising academics and diplomatic representatives from Chile, South Africa, Argentina and Australia. The second meeting of the Extremes Exhibition Expert Advisory Group was held in July 2003.
Melbourne designers Cunningham Martyn/Beattie Vass were appointed as the exhibition designers in December 2003. The exhibition is scheduled to open at the Museum in December 2004.
Mirror Mirror: Reflections of Beauty
Work began during 2003-2004 to co-curate this exhibition with the National Gallery of Victoria. Mirror Mirror will examine the nature, history, appreciation, power and appeal of the human form. Its themes will be drawn from a range of disciplines, including social history, anthropology, art history and psychology. The exhibition will feature displays of fine art and historical objects together, and is expected to appeal to a diverse audience.
Mirror Mirror is scheduled to open at the National Gallery of Victoria in August 2005, and at the National Museum of Australia in December 2005.

The Times' kudos to European Petty Tyrants
Tibor R. Machan
In The New York Times of Monday, June 27th, an editorial heaps compliments upon the bureaucrats of many European cities who have imposed innumerable obstacles to their fellow citizens who want to use the automobile for transportation. This piece of cheer-leading in support of these would be tyrants is an embarrassment in a country that's about to celebrate its becoming independent of precisely such meddling European governments.
First of all, "cities" are people. They aren't some kind of supreme consciousness sitting atop the inert bodies made up of the rest, the serfs. So in fact the story should have begun as follows: "Some people in Europe want other people not to drive."
OK, but then so what? Why are these people privileged with power to have their desires imposed on their fellows? (Why not have an editorial about that very important issue?) "Cities" aren't some holy persons who know best and who are all virtuous. Cities--meaning the people who rule them--can be tyrannical as all get out. And too many people in Europe's cities are guilty of just this one-size-fits-all rule about driving. I say break it up, let folks discover their own best form of transportation.
So, you may say, but the roads are public spheres and require making all conform to a set of one-size-fits-all rules, isn't that the truth? No, it isn't As with everything else, a principled approach to governing, including governing cities, requires finding out and implementing policies that do not do violence to the principles involved. One may need to get to the grocery store quickly but it is not an option to trespass on the properties of one's neighbors. One may wish to have a constant companion but it is not an option to enslave some unwilling "partner." One may wish to spend more on amenities but it isn't an option to go into endless debt so one is able to do it, nor to rob one's neighbors so as to build up one's resources.
Of course, the people who rule cities in Europe and elsewhere, including sadly in the United States of American which is supposed to be the leader of the free world, are eager to forget all this and make the cities their own personal domain where they can impose policies that they prefer, never mind the rest of the citizenry. They have that typical governmental hubris of believing that their preferences trump those of everyone else.
It is perhaps time for prominent advocacy journalists such as the editors of The New York Times to affirm the principles of the American Declaration of Independence and promote liberty instead of all the bits and pieces of tyranny that pleases the meddling bureaucrats around the globe. How about teaching them a thing or two about why freedom matters, including the freedom to make use of whatever transportation one can afford? And if this doesn't appear feasible at this point, why not investigate the option of, say, private roads (one that has been laid out by several scholars, such as Professor Walter Block of Loyola University of New Orleans) instead of following the discredited and immoral practice of subjugating everyone to the methods of transport-imperialists.
Of course, it is difficult to teach liberty when one refuses to practice it. And those at The New York Times have only one liberty they scream about all the time, namely, the liberty of the press. Which is, no doubt, a vital species of liberty but it ought not to function as a special privileges others may not enjoy because they want to be free not in writing and publishing but in using a great variety of transport. By making it appear that public roads are the only option, these champions of petty tyrannies give clear evidence of the famous insight William Pitt (the younger) who taught that "Necessity is the plea of every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves." (1783)

The drive to design network equipment with multi-service capable interfaces has dramatically increased the complexity of the timing subsystems. In addition to standard SONET/SDH rates, these new systems must now support a diverse set of line rates including 10G Ethernet, 10G fibre channel, as well as the associated forward error correction (FEC) rates. Support for these new data rates is forcing timing subsystem designers to develop timing sources capable of providing an expanded set of low jitter, high frequency (>=622MHz) reference clocks for use across the data processing chain from physical layer to backplane transceiver.Using traditional approaches, this frequency diversity is supported by implementing multiple different phase lock loop (PLL) circuits built around high frequency voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). The VCOs are discrete components based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) or high frequency fundamental (HFF) inverted mesa crystal resonators. Since these devices are only capable of operating within a few hundred parts per million (ppm) of a center frequency, multi-protocol support requires many different VCOs. The overall system implications include increased cost, board space, bill-of-materials (BOM) and supply issues. In addition, these crystal and SAW-based oscillators introduce various reliability issues including temperature drift and long-term aging. While the frequency control industry has made some progress supporting dual frequency applications by packaging multiple resonators in a single module package, this approach is difficult to scale past two frequencies, and it does not address the inherent frequency instabilities of high frequency SAW and HFF resonators.Today, advancements in fine-line CMOS technology have increased speed and computing power, making possible a DSP-based clock IC that enables a new class of high frequency, low jitter voltage-controlled crystal oscillators (VCXOs). This new approach combines a DSP clock IC together with a fixed, low frequency crystal resonator to realize the functional equivalent of a traditional high frequency VCO but with a user programmable frequency range from 10MHz to well over 1GHz. Jitter performance is comparable to the best SAW and HFF narrowband oscillators but frequency agility provides coverage for multiple services and the associated FEC frequencies with one device. In addition, the DSP IC at the core of the VCXO moves many functions into the digital domain enabling new features like programmable pull range and VCO gain with very high resolution. Finally, VCXOs using this new DSP clock technology exhibit superior aging and temperature stability characteristics when compared to tradition high frequency SAW or HFF-based VCO devices.In summary, a new class of frequency agile VCXO devices is now possible that will radically alter the timing system architecture of multi-service systems while improving overall performance and reliability. In these systems, multiple parallel PLL circuits based on fixed frequency SAW or HFF crystals can be replaced by one frequency agile VCXO based on a DSP clock IC technology. This technology promises to deliver significant improvements in cost, board space, reliability and supply chain management.

If the United States suddenly found its overseas oil supplies shut off, it could immediately tap its 1 billion-barrel strategic oil reserve -- right? Wrong.
Seven years after the first oil embargo that rocked the US economy, the strategic reserve contains only 92 million barrels of crude oil -- or less than 10 percent of what the experts say would be needed in case of another shutoff.
At present rates, it would take years to expand the reserve to the recommended level.
Fighting between Iraq and Iran -- two of the world's greatest petro-powers -- has put new urgency into the reserve program. Just this week, the federal government began pumping 100,000 barrels a day into the reserve -- the first new oil added since the spring of 1979.
Some members of the Senate remain skeptical that the US is prepared to deal with an energy emergency which might result from the Iran-Iraq fighting. "I can't say I'm totally reassured," said Sen. Charles H. percy (R) of Illinois this week.
The Energy Department reports that it is watching "very closely" the fighting between the neighboring Mideast countries, but that so far there has been no disruption of oil flowing from Iran and Iraq.
Together, the two export 3.5 million barrels of oil a day, about 13 percent of all OPEC exports. Most of that oil, 3 million barrels, comes from Iraq and goes to France, Brazil, Japan, and some Communist countries. The US receives only 37,000 barrels daily from Iraq, and none from Iran.
Both the US and the rest of the world are in far better position to absorb oil shortages today than in past years because of a recent glut on the market of about 2 to 2 1/2 mllion barrels a day. John C. Sawhill, deputy energy secretary , spoke at a Senate hearing earlier this week of this "much-improved world stock situaton."
Mr. Sawhill reported that supplies in the US today are so high that they could carry the country through almost six months of shortages equal to those of the 1973-74 Arab embargo, when imports were cut by 1 million barrels a day. The Us currently imports about 6 million barrels daily.
But Senator Percy and Sen. Bill Bradley (D) of New Jersey have expressed concern that the nation's stockpiles of oil are still not nearly high enough.
The strategic petroleum reserve of 92 million barrels stored underground in hollowed-out salt domes in Louisiana and Texas could supply the country's needs for only 15 days. And additional stocks from private sources would add another 15 days.
Energy experts have projected that the US should have at least 1 billion barrels of oil on reserve, but so far filling the US strategic reserves has been a slow process. The supplies remained unchanged from spring 1979 until this week when oil began flowing into the domes, following congressional mandate to begin building the reserves again.
Storage for the oil reserves now can hold 250 million barrels. That capacity is expected to be doubled by 1986.
Dr. George Horwich, who recently left his post as senior economist in the Department of Energy's Office of Oil Policy to return to teaching, told the Monitor that to defend the country from oil shortages, "the best thing we can do is build a strategic reserve. It's something that I consider to be our greatest failure in the last four or five years."

Proceedings 2009
Weather—How Do We Do It?
Brian WilkesChief Meteorologist
Brian Wilkes is the chief meteorologist for WXIN FOX 59 a position he has held since July 1995. In addition to his on-air duties, Brian also provides "Drive-Time Weather Forecasts" for WIBC since 2006. Brian is a graduate of Columbia College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Science Communication. He completed a 2 1/2 year internship at WGN-9 (Chicago), under Meteorologist, Tom Skilling. His fascination with weather started early in fourth grade. Growing up on the far south side of Chicago, the blizzard of 1979 kept him out of school for two weeks! This sparked his excitement for weather which continues to this day. Brian is a member of both the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association. In August of 1996, he received his Seal of Approval from the National Weather Association. Brian began his career as the chief meteorologist at his first station WSJV-TV, now the Fox Affiliate in Elkhart, Indiana for their Six and Ten o'clock shows. During his time at WSJV, Brian produced, wrote, and hosted a documentary on the Palm Sunday tornadoes that ripped through South Bend in April of 1965. During his time in Indianapolis, he has been honored with numerous awards. Brian was awarded an Emmy from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in 1996 for his severe weather special "Blown Away" which he hosted and co-produced. He has also hosted two other severe weather specials "Ahead of the Storm" which won an Emmy in 2001. But it's not all serious business all the time. Brian showed his playful side in 2001, when he hosted and sang with his own orchestra during the "Singin', Swingin' Holiday Special", which featured several musical artists from around Central Indiana. Not only does Brian like to forecast the weather, he enjoys teaching. When he's not in front of the camera, Brian can be found visiting Central Indiana schools throughout the year. You'll also see him active in his community, often lending his time and talents to various charitable organizations.

Good for my worldbuilding, bad for my world
One tool for inventing an imaginary story universe in science fiction is extrapolating from the present into the future. Granting corporations lots of extra power as the Supreme Court did recently is very good for my worldbuilding. But is very bad for the world I actually live in.

The Alzheimer's Disease International in Toronto in March was a special treat for me. I missed the last two meetings so were lots of ideas and hugs to share. Toronto is a wonderful city, and I am doing a part-time sabbatical at Baycrest -an internationally know complex of geriatric services for the elderly and brain research center affiliated with the University of Toronto. The focus of the sabbatical is innovation. perhaps I will describe more about this later but in the next three blog posts I want to summarize what I consider significant happenings at the March meeting. I continue to believe that the field is diverging with the flow diminishing in the biomedical arm (despite claims of perpetual breakthroughs and progress) and gaining force in the psychosocial and cultural tributaries. Several talks focused on new criteria for Alzheimer's which focus on biomarkers, i.e. brain imaging and spinal fluid measurements. Although these are research criteria and almost an ethical force is trying to push them into the clinic. researchers will admit that the biomarkers are not always reliable, have not been clearly linked to clinical symptoms, and bear unclear relationship to each other. For research continuing to do numerous markers and trying to study the relationship makes sense. For clinical practice we are not there yet. Despite this in the medical and scientific advisory panel when somebody from a less-developed country asked how they could afford to do the studies the answer was given the perhaps they could start off with spinal fluid tests because this is a procedure that can be done in any country. When reminded that the test themselves cost money to run after this I know fluid specimens obtained no clear answer was given. However I echoing many other people at the meeting pointed out that unless this person was in a research study in this country there was no need to worry about which test to do and who would pay for them. In other words the experts are trying to have their cake and eat it too -getting research grants to study the markers more intensively and creating hype that these technologies are destined to be introduced into clinical practice. This is my view is wrong.
ADI Toronto Report I- the head-long rush into clinically unproven biomarkers
Hi Peter,
Glad to hear you are still actively engaging the ADRD biomed science/community. And above you wrote:
"I continue to believe that the field is diverging with the flow diminishing in the biomedical arm (despite claims of perpetual breakthroughs and progress) and gaining force in the psychosocial and cultural tributaries."
Out here in Oregon, I, with my advocacy, graduate training, and perpetual focus on the latter, am still gainfully UNemployed…while all around me those in the biomedical arm seem to be thriving. So I wonder if you could elaborate on the specifics concerning a "gain in force in the psychosocial and cultural tributaries"?
In any case, I am constantly cheered and encouraged by your optimism! Please keep plugging for us…
~Charles Macknee, MA
Thanks Charles. The US in all of us is growing. Peter

BREWSTER — Allen Johnson Ward passed away peacefully with love surrounding him on Monday, Feb. 24, 2014, in Brewster, Mass.
BREWSTER — Allen Johnson Ward passed away peacefully with love surrounding him on Monday, Feb. 24, 2014, in Brewster, Mass.
He was predeceased by his beloved family: parents Marcus H. and Gertrude H. Ward; sisters Roberta Ward, Helen Ward, and Nancy Ward Maroni; brother-in-law Joseph F. Maroni; and his beloved partner of 52 years, William M. Baxter. Survivors include six nieces and nephews: Gail R. Pease (Tim), David Ward Maroni, Daniel J. Maroni (Susan), Marcia L. Kielb (John), Kay E. Neves (Jose), and Paul Allen Maroni; 13 great-nieces and nephews; and 6-plus great-great-nieces and nephews. His extended Cape Cod family consisted of many dear friends including Virginia Pena and the beloved Figueiredo family — Dario, Rachel, Arthur and Christopher. He also leaves behind several Baxter family members and many close friends.
Born in Orange, Mass., 90-plus years ago, Allen will be remembered for his wit, love, sense of humor, gentleness and generosity. A graduate of the former Orange High School, Allen began his working career at the L.S. Starrett Co. in Athol, Mass. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II in the Pacific Corridor.
After the war, he began his successful career as a highly respected interior design employee for Scalamandre Silks in Boston. In 1966 he and "Billy" relocated in Brewster, running Boxwood Inn until 1970, and William M. Baxter Antiques until their retirement in 1999. He did travel many places throughout his life with Bill and many friends including "Guppy" and Camie Ford but always enjoyed returning to his lovely home.
The family would like to thank all who cared for Allen during his later years. Allen requested there will be no services and burial will be private.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be sent to the Brewster Rescue Fire Fighters Association, 1657 Main St., Brewster MA 02631; or a charity of one's choice. Condolences will be kindly received by Allen's niece, Marcia L. Kielb, at 273 Ponders Hollow Road, Westfield, MA 01085.

By Libby A. Nelson
A proposal to merge the University of Louisville's teaching hospital with a Roman Catholic health system — which would prohibit the hospital from providing sterilizations, abortions and other procedures that go against Catholic beliefs — has provoked an uproar in Kentucky, where residents and lawmakers are questioning the role of religiously affiliated health providers in public medical education and health care.
The University of Louisville Hospital, the primary teaching affiliate of the public university's medical school, also provides most of the care for the region's poor. The merger would combine three hospital systems, including the university's, under the auspices of Catholic Health Initiatives, based in Denver. The merged hospitals would be required to follow Roman Catholic health directives, which prohibit abortion, sterilization, embryonic stem cell research and some other procedures.
While secular hospitals have merged with religiously affiliated hospitals in the past, with varying results, the merger of a public medical school's teaching hospital and a Catholic institution is unusual, perhaps unprecedented. The MergerWatch Project, which tracks mergers of religious and secular hospitals (and opposes them), has no record of a similar case, although mergers have presented issues for some medical school residency programs, said Sheila Reynertson, the project's advocacy coordinator.
More than 400 Louisville residents signed a petition against the merger, saying they fear it will limit access to vital medical procedures at a hospital that receives millions of dollars in public money. Much of the fear centered around family planning, especially sterilizations, and end-of-life care. "Both men and women will be dismayed to see their advance medical directives are not respected in a Catholic hospital," two Kentucky state representatives, Tom Burch and Mary Lou Marzian, wrote in an op-ed in The Courier-Journal. "Women should never have to question their doctor's allegiance, and providers should not have to worry that they will be dismissed for giving comprehensive care."
The medical school says its curriculum will not change as a result of the merger. Neither the university nor its faculty is a part of the merger: the hospital, a private, nonprofit entity, pays the university to use its land and facilities, but is governed by a community board.
"All procedures that are taught through the curriculum will continue to be taught," said Gary Mans, spokesman for the University of Louisville School of Medicine. Some will be taught at facilities that are not part of the merger, such as the medical school's clinic, and the institution is still working out details on how those issues will be handled, he said.
But despite those assurances, the prospect of the hospital no longer providing some reproductive services — such as a tubal ligation for sterilization after a C-section or delivery — has raised an outcry in Kentucky. The state attorney general said he will look into the merger, and the governor, Steve Beshear, has called for "additional discussion and transparency."
The state must approve changes associated with the merger, including leases of public land or facilities. "Each time I have spoken with University of Louisville representatives associated with this hospital merger, I have been repeatedly assured that University Hospital's public mission would continue in every aspect of care," Beshear said in a written statement. "However, it is clear there are growing concerns within the community about issues related to the hospital's future level of access to medical services."
Mergers or partnerships between public hospitals or medical schools and religiously affiliated hospitals have often foundered when strongly held beliefs on both sides clash, most frequently over reproductive issues, said Joanne Conroy, chief health care officer for the Association of American Medical Colleges.
"That issue becomes a lightning rod in whether or not these partnerships are successful or end up never coming to fruition," Conroy said.
For most universities, providing a thorough training in obstetrics and gynecology is paramount, including a "broad range of experience" in family planning, she said. Although medical schools are often used to dealing with conflicts between faith and medical practice with their own students and faculty, doing so with another hospital is far more difficult.
Accreditors could also present a problem, Conroy said: she said she expected there would be "some pushback" if a medical school were to stop training students for certain procedures.
"It strikes right to the core of both institutions," she said. "Some organizations feel very strongly that it's not something they support. Other organizations feel very strongly that that's the essence of education — not putting any barriers on the educational experience."
Secular hospitals merging with religiously affiliated ones in the past have dealt with the issue in several ways, including creating a "hospital within a hospital" that provides procedures that Catholic directives forbid. Some universities send their residents to other hospitals for training in procedures that Catholic hospitals do not offer, Conroy said, although that approach presents problems with paying them.
University officials say they are examining all options.
"Our dean has worked on this for more than a year and has talked with a number of people throughout the country who have been involved in similar situations," Mans said. "This can be accomplished and will be accomplished."
