Man pleads not guilty in shotgun shooting (2nd update)
SARANAC LAKE – Police have released the name of the local man who allegedly shot a woman in the hand with a shotgun during a domestic dispute early this morning in a home on McClelland Street.
Oleg Tchernytchenko, 35, of Saranac Lake was charged with first-degree assault, a class B felony, and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor. He pleaded not guilty during an arraignment this afternoon in village court.
Police Chief Bruce Nason said the incident took place in the living room of the home around 1:50 a.m. this morning. There were three children, between five months and 4 years of age, in the room at the time.
Nason said Tchernytchenko and the woman were arguing when he pointed a 12-gauge Mossberg shotgun at her.
"He was standing in front of her when he pointed it at her, she tried to push it away, and that's when it fired, striking her in the hand," Nason said.
The woman suffered what Nason described as a non-life-threatening wound to the hand. She called 911 to report the incident.
Nason said Saranac Lake ambulance personnel responded to what was initially reported as a person with a head injury. When they arrived on scene, they found the woman had been shot in the hand and contacted village police, who were already en route, Nason said.
The woman was initially taken to Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake and later transfered to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vt., Nason said.
"I didn't see the injury, but the reason she went to Burlington was to see if they could surgically repair her hand and save her fingers," he said. "The possibility existed that at least one or two were badly damaged."
Asked what the man and woman were arguing about, Nason said police were still trying to confirm that. He said either Tchernytchenko or his officers mentioned that he had consumed some wine that night, but no sobriety or blood-alcohol tests were performed.
Nason said his officers interviewed the woman at the hospital. She also gave police a handwritten statement before she was transferred to Fletcher Allen. Nason said the man has also given police a voluntary statement. None of the statements were immediately provided by police.
Village police were going door to door, interviewing neighbors, when the Enterprise visited the scene around 9:30 a.m. Three village police vehicles were parked on the street, yellow police tape was strung up around the house, and a large dog was barking in its driveway.
Franklin County Child Protective Services employees were talking outside John Farrington's home across the street, where police brought the three young children after the incident. Farrington spoke with the Enterprise as his daughter, Shannon, watched the kids inside.
"I didn't hear anything," Farrington said. "I talked to the neighbors, and I don't think anybody heard anything. I overheard that she was shot in the hand."
Farrington described his neighbors as "loners" and "a little mysterious.
"He would only come out and have cigarettes on the porch, wave at me and smile," Farrington said of Tchernytchenko. "I never heard much yelling. They'd talk loudly sometimes. I was not aware of any violence or anything like that."
The children were eventually taken into custody by child protective services. Nason said police had previously responded to reports of domestic disputes at the home, though offhand he didn't know how many. None of those prior incidents had resulted in any charges.
Police found 17 dogs of all ages found inside the home, which Nason said may have been home to an illegal kennel or dog-breeding operation. That could lead to more charges in the case, the chief said.
"The condition of the house – the place was covered with dog feces," Nason said. "They were pretty much living in the living room because the other rooms in the house either had dogs or they just couldn't – it was a mess."
The dogs were removed from the home by the village's dog control officer, Lena Bombard of the Tri-Lakes Humane Society.
"We haven't been able to have them evaluated yet because we've had so many," Bombard told the Enterprise. She said the shelter would gladly accept any donations to help care for and feed the animals. "We already had 23 dogs here, and we just took in a lot more. It's going to be ongoing. We have to get them vet care and take care of them."
After the dogs were all removed from the house, police carried out a search warrant. They found a slug from the shotgun lodged in a wall and also secured a .22-caliber rifle from the residence.
Tchernytchenko was held in the village police department lock-up until roughly 1:30 p.m., when he was arraigned on the charges before village Justice Ken McLaughlin. McLaughlin said Tchernytchenko did not have a lawyer present at the time and was given an application for a public defender.
Tchernytchenko pleaded not guilty and was remanded to the Franklin County Jail in Malone in lieu of $50,000 cash bail or $100,000 bond. The judge also said he issued an order of protection for the woman and the three children that runs through December.
State police investigators assisted with the probe, performing forensic work and helping village police conduct interviews, Nason said.
"I cannot praise our officers enough for their quick response, the state police arriving to assist us and the cooperation between the agencies," he said.

FAA, EASA Ground All Dreamliners
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is adopting FAA's emergency airworthiness directive (AD) issued Wednesday, ordering operators to ground their fleets of Boeing 787 Dreamliners following the latest incident involving the plane's battery.
FAA said the AD was prompted by the All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight that made an emergency landing Wednesday, after a problem with the 787's battery was discovered from an error message on one of the cockpit displays and an odor was reported in the cabin of the plane.
"The battery failures resulted in release of flammable electrolytes, heat damage, and smoke on two Model 787 airplanes. The root cause of these failures is currently under investigation. These conditions, if not corrected, could result in damage to critical systems and structures, and the potential for fire in the electrical compartment," FAA said in a statement.
Japanese manufacturer GS Yuasa Corp. produced the Dreamliner's lithium-ion battery for Thales, which provides backup power systems for Boeing aircraft. Officials are still unclear on what is causing the battery problems and what components of the 787's critical systems are malfunctioning.
United Airlines will be the only U.S. carrier affected by the AD, as it currently has six Dreamliners in service. The EASA order will impact LOT Polish Airlines, who operates two of the aircraft.
ANA, Japan Airlines, Air India and Chilean carrier LATAM Airlines have also grounded their fleets of Dreamliners until further notice.
"We are confident the 787 is safe and we stand behind its overall integrity. We will be taking every necessary step in the coming days to assure our customers and the traveling public of the 787's safety and to return the airplanes to service," Boeing said in a statement issued Wednesday. More

2013 Pan American Canoe Slalom Championships Recap
(Lokken accepts his gold medal.)
Canoeist Zach Lokken (Durango, Colo.) kicked off the 2013 season with a gold medal at the 2013 Pan American Slalom Championships in Union de Tula, Mexico, March 2-3. Kayaker Aaron Mann (Bethesda, Md.) added to the medal tally by claiming silver.
Lokken and Mann were joined by kayaker Rick Powell and Head Coach Silvan Poberaj.
Lokken finished ahead of 2012 Olympian Sebastian Rossi of Argentina and Canadian Cam Smedley. The competition was very tight between all C-1 athletes as they were switching places through both heats and Semifinals. Lokken started a little slower on the first run of the Heats. In the end, he improved from run to run and handled the pressure of starting last in the Final very well.
Rick Powell, 2012 U-23 World Championship Bronze Medalist, performed very well in the heats and won the heats with over 2.6 seconds ahead of the best Brazilian, Taques. Powell finished in sixth place.
On the Final day, Aaron Mann had one of his best performances of his paddling career. Mann was first after his Semifinal run, ahead of Argentine Bersinger Thomas. In his Final run, Mann was not able to improve his performance, however, and was passed by Thomas, who turned in an error-free run.
All in all, the event was well organized and well attended. In addition to Team USA's strong performance, Brazil, Argentina, andneighboring Canada are also becoming a force in slalom and already have a number of internationally very strong athletes.
The complete results are posted at http://panamchamps.com.

Carolina del Norte and the New South: Social Work Practice with New Latino Immigrant Communities
Over the past decade, the Latino population in North Carolina has increased 111%. More than half of North Carolina Latinos are foreign-born and most face issues related to immigration, acculturation, and often, discrimination. This article provides a brief overview of the historical context in which social workers engaged with immigrant communities, and argues that the profession brings strengths and unique skills to address North Carolina's Latino immigrant population, historically, and within the current context. Key social demographics of Latino populations, sociopolitical realities, as well as theoretical and methodological issues related to the complex needs of this diverse population group are addressed. Two examples of Latino vulnerability in North Carolina, HIV/AIDS and discriminatory local immigration enforcement practices, are discussed to further highlight the unique strengths and challenges social workers in North Carolina and the New South face when working with Latino immigrants.

African lions live in plains or savanna habitat with a large prey base (mostly ungulates) and sufficient cover available. In these optimal habitats, lions are the second most abundant large predator, after spotted hyenas Crocuta crocuta. Lions can also live, with wider ranges, in most habitats except in tropical rainforests and in deserts. Lions can live in forested, shrubby, mountainous, and semi-desert habitats. They are capable of living at high altitudes. There is a lion population in the Bale Mountains of Ethiopia at 4,240 m.
Asiatic lions live in scrubland and teak forest in the small Gir Forest preserve of India. ("Asiatic Lion Information Center", 2001; Alden et al., 1998; Cat Specialist Group, 1996; Estes, 1993)

wow... fix that pls take our time with that. can kill what we all live on people.
"the energy they use for extraction will exceed the energy they get out" I have not heard that before. Please provide a source.
This probably all comes down to what TYPE of energy is used to extract these resources and the COST to the company of the type of energy used to extract these resources. Some forms of energy are cheaper than others - for example, natural gas is cheaper than oil, etc.
Check out this post about Paul Ryan and the environment: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/11/climate-change-and-paul-ryan_n_1768171.html?utm_hp_ref=elections-2012
I am waiting for someone to ask Ryan, "Sir, what do you think about climate change?" His answer will indicate how extreme his views are.
Marco; what did you think of my idea to: (1) Gov't. solar 30% tax credit used as down payment on solar system (home or business). Typical home solar for $28k; therefore $8k down. (2) Homeowner uses solar electric savings to pay off solar loan in 8 - 10 years. (3) Uses solar electric savings in years 11 & onward to pay 1/2 to government and 1/2 for personal use, like payment on a PEV? Michelle, Marco & Abelein: Clean coal is coal industry propaganda. It takes one more coal fired power plant of energy to trap the pollution of two existing coal fired power plants. And no one has ever done this; and what makes you think that the CO2 that's trapped by pumping it into the ground, won't simply escape and get back into the air and water? It's another hair brain scheme like fracking. Mountain top removal to mine coal destroys our land and the natural vegetation that covered it. Fracking makes huge cracks in the earth through the uses of huge amounts of energy, huge amounts of water, and huge amounts of poisonous chemicals. That messy and poisonous soup is then free to travel through those new fractures in our earth to poison subterranian streams and ultimately find its way into our streams and oceans. Meanwhile the oil is extracted and burned to pollute our air. Bio-fuels also take a lot of energy to produce oil substitutes that are also burned and in so doing, add more CO2 into the atmosphere. So-called natural gas is not much better than oil; although burning natural gas emits less CO2 than burning gas; it takes more natural gas to generate the same amount of energy as regular gas. To summarize, burning fossil fuels to generate energy for our cars, trucks, planes, homes, businesses, is simply living with an energy regime whose days are numbered. All of these fossil fuel energy generating techniques poison our air, earth and water. In turn, they are allowed to poison us. Every dollar we spend and every day we continue, is a dollar and a day that we could have used to take advantage of the sun, the wind, hydro and geothermal means of generating the energy we need to power our earth. As a society, we need a rational and timely way to transition. It's the only sensible thing to do.
michele, andrew and mark- nice exchange and i think where this is starting to go is a discussion around cost benefit and short-mid-long term planning to solve the problem of energy independence conjoined withe prudent economic (ie responsibile tax and spend policies) which n o one in government seems capable of because they are too focused on the short term fix and the accompanying vote to put them back in office. I do think think that the small loan solution though isnt the issue because we need larger solutions which requires more investment in bio-fuels, solar, gasification, clean coal and the like all with government incentivized reduction in usage. IT requires holistic solutions not stopgaps and we need to solve not just the cost per kilowatt hour but the impact on the environment.,
Abeilein, you have the answer to the question: fracking is a means to end - developing domestic sources of energy for profit. They are not concerned with the fact that the process takes larger amounts of energy than they can hope to extract, and they are not concerned with the destruction to the local environment. They will be long gone when the local water table comes up contaminated and the people have to resort to buying bottled water - hell, that's collateral economic activity. Hopefully the local governments are savvy enough to require fracking companies pay for the destruction of roads, etc., due to heavy truck traffic. there is a short term boost for local economies since the companies pay land owners leasing fees and employ able-bodied young men in the destruction, but this strictly short- term. MarkJaffe has it below: fracking is another short term, quick fix to the energy crisis. This is all our Congress seems to be capable of. Also, I would like to hear some of those arguments that say fracking is a safe process.
The energy used for extraction can't be distributed to the consumer like the excavated energy can. It's simply a means to an end, an end that is for the benefit of the the public. As for environmental effects, for every source you find that says natural gas excavation is unsafe, I can give you one that ensures that it is safe. At this point, we must take advantage of domestic resources.
This is a tough question; one I have thought about many times. Of course there is no easy answer. Every idea has those who support it and those who are opposed. So; here goes. To me, it seems that the crucial mistake our congress critters and our administration do over and over again is spend money on politically expedient things that do not help. They're always shooting from the hip to react to the next crisis. There's no long term commitments to sound policy, plans and implementation. A couple of examples come to mind. (1) The social security tax holiday is one. Republicans love it because it's a tax cut. Democrats love it because; well doesn't everyone love more money in their pocket. So we like it and thus the politicians like it. But to me, this makes no sense. We have been talking for years that social security needs some shoring up. Maybe raising the eligibility age; maybe modestly increasing the tax rate; maybe removing the income caps, so the more you earn the more you contribute. All of these or a balanced combination would certainly make things better. I would support such an idea with one additional requirement; social security funds are not co-mingled with other government pots. No more government IOUs for my hard earned cash. Instead, the current tax holiday only reduces the intake and worsens Social security's financial position. On top of that, the people you are helping are all of us working stiffs. We have the jobs and are most able to pay our fair share. Typical Republican finances: cut the taxes; thus reduce the governments income; but do nothing to balance it with some spending cuts; thus adding to our debt; then blaming the government for being out of control. The second example of programs from our congress critters is the gas for guzzlers program. Give each person, who buys a new car and decommissions the old, working, but less fuel efficient car, an $8000 tax credit. This is great for car manufacturers; they sell loads of new cars; it gives a short term boost to the economy and sales tax revenues. But it doesn't take a look at the longer term costs. Millions of perfectly serviceable cars are taken out of service. The tax credits are funded by more debt that is added to the public's account. Each person who does this gets the tax credit, which winds up reducing their tax liability and decreasing our governments tax revenues. This sounds familiar, print money, increase the US debt, give the money to people who don't need it; reduce their tax liability; reduce government tax revenues; Increase the debt! That's the only cycle our elected officials are willing to repeat. This is a viscious and destructive cycle. I would like to pose a different approach. Instead of incentivising people to buy new cars and demolish their older working cars; incent those same people to buy a solar system for their houses. The $8000 dollars works just as well as a down payment on a solar system as it does for a car. The difference though is dramatic. The solar system produces enough free electricity to eliminate their monthly electric utility bill. The money saved can be used instead to pay off the balance of the solar system loan. Typical payoff time for such a loan is 8 to 10 years. From that point on, the money saved from your freely generated electricity becomes a revenue stream for the happy solar system owner. If he or she likes, they could then use that monthly income to buy the all electric plug-in vehicle (PEV). I would add one little twist to this to repay the government for the original $8000 loan. At year 10 when the home owner starts receiving that positive cash flow revenue stream, use 1/2 for that PEV and 1/2 to pay the government back. This is one long way of saying how to pay for things; but it's the only way for me to explain it. What do you think Marco?
The U.S. actually has more than enough oil domestically and from NAFTA to supply our domestic consumption. The reason we import more oil than we need is because we have the best refineries in the world. Because of the competitive advantage the U.S. is a net importer of oil and exporter of gasoline. So even though fracking is inefficient, our refining process is so efficient it is profitable. The only way to change this dynamic is to make alternative methods as cost efficient.
Mark- I agree with that an antiquated political system is one of the larges obstacles to innovation and reform which is why this platform is so exciting to me. We, the people, can connect and create a bank of ideas to force change. Now that being said I applaud the goals and carbon neutral views espoused by you in 1-7 but before we talk about the merits and timing of such a roll out my threshold question is who pays for the infrastucture and will customers be willing to bear the cost of higher rates to support this agenda during economically uncertain times. How can we systematically improve without crippling the economy ?
Marco; in my humble opinion a responsible energy policy would involve the following: 1. aggressively cut back on the use of fossil fuels. This could be done by: - doubling the avg mpg of our car and truck fleet; thus halving the need for gasoline - installing solar on all home and business rooftops; this could cut electric energy demands in half; which in turn would eliminate the need for added electric utilities - Convert coal fired power plants to Concentrated Solar Power (CSP); thus starting to reduce the need for coal. - replace appliances with energy efficient ones - insulate homes and businesses to current standards. 2. Aggressively increase our use of renewable, environmentally benign, fuel free energy sources. Solar, wind, hydro and thermal energies all have one great advantage; their primary fuel is free. 3. At sometime in the future we would no longer have to mine for fossil fuels. 4. At some point in the future we would no longer depend on foreign oil. 5. At some point in the future we would also not need to worry about those pesky strategic assets in the middle east. 6. That would allow us to drastically reduce our defense assets over there. 7. Imagine saving the 1+ trillion dollars we spend each year on middle east related defense, wars, espionage, embassies, etc. That alone would eliminate our deficit. 8. Add to that the 1/2 trillion dollars a year we spend on foreign oil; that of course could be used to pay off the national debt. 9. Imagine the billions of dollars in interest we would save each year by paying off the debt. All of the above could be done. The only thing standing between doing this for our country, is the current decaying and obsolete political system and their special interest lobbies who like it the way it is.
The energy (Oil, Gas & Coal) industry has only one goal in mind; make as much money as they can; for as long as they can. Their energy costs at the front end do not include the air, water and environmental costs that just get passed along to the environment and the people. Instead, they reap huge profits at the back end since the world is competing for the finished product. Fracking for oil and gas is just as horrific as mountain top removal for coal. They are ruining the environment and our air, water and land.
will - how do you propose eliminating fracking while still developing a responsible energy policy that can support the needs of the american economy ?
At this point I won't even mention the damage that will be done to the environment.

Hollywood returns to the 'Iron' Age
The Columbus Dispatch - May 03, 2013 12:00 PM
If you're picking a fight, it's best not to pick a fight with a superhero. Moviemakers followed the modified advice of Jim Croce, and they decided not to mess around with Tony Stark at the box office this weekend in Iron Man 3.
Iron Man 3 is the best and almost the only movie released this weekend. The third installment of the series kicks off the summer blockbuster season in the first weekend of May.
Stark, played with great focus by Robert Downey Jr., faces off against Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) and a scientist played by Guy Pearce in Part 3. Actors in return engagements exist in the form of Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), Happy (Jon Favreau) and James Rhodes (Don Cheadle).
The action explodes and the performances are strong, although the movie is limited by the implausibility of some of its plot constructs, according to Dispatch critic Frank Gabrenya. It is, however, lifted by its humorous tone.
" Iron Man 3 sways gradually between intense action outbursts and intimate moments that would seem like serious lulls if Downey weren't on hand to sharpen the proceedings," Gabrenya said in his review. "Although the political subtext of the original is largely abandoned, the series' tongue remains firmly lodged in its cheek."

CUBRID saves information on the locations of all existing databases in the databases.txt file. This file is called the "database location file." A database location file is used when CUBRID executes utilities for creating, renaming, deleting or replicating databases; it is also used when CUBRID runs each database. By default, this file is located in the databases directory under the installation directory. The directory is located through the environment variable CUBRID_DATABASES.
db_name db_directory server_host logfile_directory
The format of each line of a database location file is the same as defined by the above syntax; it contains information on the database name, database path, server host and the path to the log files. The following is an example of checking the contents of a database location file.
% more databases.txt
dist_testdb /home1/user/CUBRID/bin d85007 /home1/user/CUBRID/bin
dist_demodb /home1/user/CUBRID/bin d85007 /home1/user/CUBRID/bin
testdb /home1/user/CUBRID/databases/testdb d85007 /home1/user/CUBRID/databases/testdb
demodb /home1/user/CUBRID/databases/demodb d85007 /home1/user/CUBRID/databases/demodb
By default, the database location file is stored in the databases directory under the installation directory. You can change the default directory by modifying the value of the CUBRID_DATABASES environment variable. The path to the database location file must be valid so that the cubrid utility for database management can access the file properly. You must enter the directory path correctly and check if you have write permission on the file. The following is an example of checking the value configured in the CUBRID_DATABASES parameter.
% set | grep CUBRID_DATABASES
An error occurs if an invalid directory path is set in the CUBRID_DATABASES environment variable. If the directory path is valid but the database location file does not exist, a new location information file is created. If the CUBRID_DATABASES environment variable has not been configured at all, CUBRID retrieves the location information file in the current working directory.

"I personalized this card by not having our names beneath the words "thank you". My request was executed perfectly. Everything looked elegant and appropriate."
"The quality of the paper and envelope are great. They are thick and smooth — very professional. You can choose from a few shades for the "THANK YOU" words. I went with pure white, which made it brighter than the sample image. One thing about the printing: it's darker than the online image shows. It's still a beautiful purple color, just a really dark one."
"WeddingPaperDivas was wonderful to help me customize the card for my wedding colors and the paper and envelopes are great quality."
"I ordered these thank you cards in the Chenille color (blush pink). When the cards arrived and we folded them the blush pink is hardly noticeable and looks almost white. Other than this the card is very nice. the color just seems a bit more pink on the computer than in person."
"I really loved the design of this card! The dress is just beautiful against the soft pink background with the gold accents! Everyone LOVED it!"

Lucille M. Wells
Lucille M. Wells (Marshall), age 91, of Fredonia, N.Y., formerly of Canandaigua, N.Y., and Silver Creek, N.Y., died Thursday, December 26, 2013 at Brooks Memorial Hospital after a brief illness.
Lucille was born August 31, 1922 in Cleveland, Ohio, to the late William and Zelma (Roudebush) Marshall, and graduated from Cleveland Heights High School in 1940. In 1943, she married her high school sweetheart Willis Wells. Following World War II, Lucille and Willis moved to Silver Creek, N.Y., where they raised their family. She worked at Niagara Therapy and as an Admissions Clerk at Lake Shore Hospital in Irving.
Lucille was a former member of the First Presbyterian Church of Silver Creek, the Silver Creek Fire Dept. Ladies Auxiliary and the Order of the Eastern Star in Silver Creek. After her husband Willis' retirement from the U.S. Navy in 1970, they moved to Canandaigua, N.Y., where they lived by the lake. She worked at Clifton Springs Hospital in Admissions until her retirement in 1982. Upon her retirement, Lucille volunteered at the Canandaigua Veterans Hospital. Traveling and snow birding were her favorite pastimes. She also enjoyed puzzles and card playing. Lucille recently moved to Fredonia to be near her daughters.
She is survived by her three children: Raymond (Sue) Wells of West Gardiner, Maine, Carol (Joseph) Calarco of Fredonia, N.Y., and Kathryn (Patrick) Kelleher of Silver Creek, N.Y.; six grandchildren: Daniel (Brenda) Wells, Brian (Tammy) Wells, Keith (Aurora) Wells, all of Maine, Gina Flocare (Mark) Mulville of Orchard Park, N.Y., Valerie Flocare of Helena, Mont., and Kimberly Kelleher (Scott) Whipple of Silver Creek, N.Y. She is also survived by 14 great-grandchildren, four nieces and two nephews.
Besides her parents, Lucille was predeceased by her husband, Willis Wells, and her sister, Ida Patricia Marshall Johnson.
A memorial service will be held at a future date. Lucille will be greatly missed by those who knew her.
Memorial Contributions may be made to Hospice Chautauqua County, 20 W. Fairmount Ave., Lakewood, NY 14750. Online condolences may be made at larsontimkofuneralhome.com. Arrangements by David J. Dengler, Larson-Timko Funeral Home, 679-9000.

The Choice is Yours . . .
Consulting a physician regularly is an important part of a healthier lifestyle. Together, you and your physician can determine the best plan to keep you fit and able to enjoy the times of your life.
Surprisingly, many people do not have a regular doctor whom they can turn to in case of illness or injury. In a serious emergency, they often have no choice of whom will provide care or what treatment will be administered.
We at The Chester County Hospital encourage you to take the time to choose a physician before emergency situations arise. A regular primary care physician or specialist knows your medical history and can provide special insights into your treatment.

Information and Communication Technologies in Social Work
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are electronic tools used to convey, manipulate and store information. The exponential growth of Internet access and ICTs greatly influenced social, political, and economic processes in the United States, and worldwide. Regardless of the level of practice, ICTs will continue influencing the careers of social workers and the clients they serve. ICTs have received some attention in the social work literature and curriculum, but we argue that this level of attention is not adequate given their ubiquity, growth and influence, specifically as it relates to upholding social work ethics. Significant attention is needed to help ensure social workers are responsive to the technological changes in the health care system, including the health care infrastructure and use of technology among clients. Social workers also need ICT competencies in order to effectively lead different types of social change initiatives or collaborate with professionals of other disciplines who are using ICTs as part of existing strategies. This paper also identifies potential pitfalls and challenges with respect to the adoption of ICTs, with recommendations for advancing their use in practice, education, and research.

Excellent - Boosts Immune System, Fights Off Viruses
Posted by Reviewer2087951 on Jun 06, 2013
I spent 8 hours a day on a hospital ward, every day for 3 solid weeks when there were many patients on the floor suffering from a super-bug. I was stationed right outside their isolation rooms as nurses suited up and came and went from the rooms, the doors opening and closing all the time. At the time I didnt know about the super-bug - had no idea what afflicted the people in isolation. About a week into my time there, I started rapidly developing a pretty nasty sore throat. That's when one of the nurses told me about the super-bug. Normally, when I experience the precise symptoms I was having, it quickly develops into severe strep throat and then progresses into very bad head conjestion, terrible couching, bad plegm, etc. and has me sick in bed for 3 weeks on average. Nothing I try can typically halt its progression once the first symptoms appear. However, this time, as soon as I felt these symptoms setting in (and they were coming on strong), I began popping 2 "Natural Factors GrapeSeedRich Grape Seed Extract" twice a day, as well as 1-2 pycnogenol twice a day, and about 3 Emergen-C packets a day. It was amazing. I was able to completely stave off the symptoms, getting away with only the mildest scratchy throat for a few days, instead of full blown strep throat to the point that I am normally unable to talk for a couple of weeks and would normally experience intense throat pain. The Emercen-C, Natural Factors grapeseed exract, and pycnogenol was a potent combination, and now whenever I or my loved ones appear to be coming down with anything, we immediately begin taking these 3 supplements together and all symptoms back right off.

Tasty and Healthy
Great boost when you're sick
Posted by colorwalk on Nov 26, 2013
Whenever anyone in my family gets sick, we take two packets a day and it really helps speed up our recovery. I don't even take any meds - just Emergen-C and lots of water and rest. I don't normally take it every single day when I'm not sick, but during times when I feel like a cold might be creeping up, I take one packet and it keeps any sickness at bay. I also find Super Orange the best tasting flavor among all the flavors I've tried. It's least artificial (and not as sweet). I've re-ordered plenty of times and will continue to do so.
Good taste and fizz

Which Comes First: Lead Nurturing or Inside Sales?
The Point
For a long time, " lead nurturing " was thought of as something you did with the leads that sales didn't want. The theory was: leads come in, the sales team gets the hot ones, and the rest go to lead nurturing. Today, of course, a comprehensive lead nurturing strategy is much more than that. Currently we have a bunch of leads sitting in that "contacted" stage.
In Industrial Lead Generation, a Lead is a Lead, Right?
Industrial Marketing Today
Every discussion I've had with manufacturers and industrial companies starts with "we need more leads" or ends with "we need results." I understand and accept the fact that the main goal of industrial marketing is to generate leads. have no issues with that but do these companies know what a qualified lead is? by Achinta Mitra appeared first on Industrial Marketing Today.
Introduction to Lead Management
B2B Lead Generation Blog
Tweet If Sales and Marketing were a manufacturing operation starting with raw materials — leads — and ending up with 5% to 20% in deliverable product — won sales — it would soon be shut down to determine what is wrong. However, companies continue to spend untold dollars on lead generation efforts ultimately doomed to fail. Lack of lead management impacts lead conversion and ROI.
Lead Generation: Balancing lead quality and lead quantity
B2B Lead Generation Blog
Tweet Lead generation is somewhat like a tightrope act. Generate too many leads, and the rope between Sales and Marketing breaks. If you don't generate enough leads that turn into sales, your ROI plummets. As Debbie Pryer, Program Manager, Siemens Healthcare , discovered, finding the right balance between lead quantity and quality takes trust, teamwork and planning.
Why B2B Content Strategies Are Paramount for Generating Quality Leads
Generating demand and ensuring the consistent flow of high-quality, actionable leads is what makes B2B marketers successful
A Simple 2-Step Technique for Improving Lead Follow Up
The Point
In an era when "demand generation" and "content marketing" are virtually synonymous, most B2B sales leads are the result of a prospect downloading or requesting content. Most B2B marketers take for granted that content marketing will, by default, generate a wide spectrum of leads – some of them qualified, perhaps, but most just conducting informal research (the proverbial "tire kickers").
Measure Your Way to Lead Nurturing Success
The Point
Demand Gen Report just published " Top B2B Marketers Measure Lead Nurturing Effectiveness to Boost Performance ," a special report in which they address the whys, whats, and how tos of measuring lead nurturing's true impact. That, ultimately, is what lead nurturing is designed to do – move leads towards opportunity and close. The results were dramatic.
Building Your Strategic Lead Generation Portfolio
B2B Lead Generation Blog
Tweet To be successful at lead generation, marketers can't rely on one specific tactic. while ago, I created a mind map of lead generation channels for my book Lead Generation for the Complex Sale. I've updated it to include more content marketing and social media channels. How do you determine which channels are the best for generating leads and finding future customers?
Lead Generation: 2 simple tips to determine cost per lead
B2B Lead Generation Blog
Tweet Getting to the heart of lead cost is not easy. In today's B2B Lead Roundtable Blog post, I wanted to explore cost per lead by sharing a few tips and insights from the panel of industry experts that spoke on the subject at MarketingSherpa Lead Gen Summit 2013. Clearly define what a lead is for your organization. Move toward thinking of lead cost in aggregate.
B2B Marketing Trends for 2016

To get a more granular view of how B2B marketing professionals are adapting to these trends and pressures, we asked 25 leading influencers. preference, lead generation) isn't new, just more intense. its role beyond lead gen.

Dustdevils, Rattlers sweep Zias
February 5, 2011
SAN ANTONIO — St. Mary's capitalized on three Eastern New Mexico University errors to score six unearned runs in the fifth inning en route to a 10-2 victory on Saturday in the St. Mary's Classic.
ENMU junior right-hander Erin Roufosse (0-2) carried a 2-1 lead into the frame, thanks to a two-run single by junior second baseman Kate Medrano in the third. The Rattlers (2-0) cut the margin in half when shortstop Richelle Morales homered leading off the bottom of the inning.
Roufosse, who also took the loss in ENMU's season-opening 10-7 setback to Texas A&M International earlier in the day, allowed nine hits and just two earned runs in the nightcap. She walked no one and struck out four.
ENMU faces Texas A&M-Kingsville at 9 a.m. (MST) today and St. Mary's again at 1 p.m. to close out the weather-delayed event.

Kelly,Unless you mismeasured the salt (too little), the only thing that I can think of that might help explain what you and your wife noted is that the Caputo flour has more gluten than the KAAP. You can see that from the gluten mass list posted at Reply 26 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,18075.msg176901.html#msg176901. Gluten is protein, and protein has flavor. It is possible that you and your wife also got accustomed to the taste of the Caputo flour after using it for so long and, as a result, you perceived that something was missing in the KAAP flour.

About the Author: Caron De Mars serves as U.S. Embassy Manila's Environment, Science, Technology and Health Officer.
The Philippine Wildlife Rescue Center was the perfect backdrop for showcasing public service announcements featuring Dr. Jane Goodall and the ideal venue for Filipino youth to learn about the illegal trade in wildlife and wildlife products on World Environment Day, June 5, 2009. U.S. Embassy Manila invited the Director of the Philippines Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau and a volunteer veterinarian to talk to 50 students about wild animal rescue, care, rehabilitation, and release facilitated by the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Nature Center. The students also toured the Wildlife Rescue Center, handled some of the birds and reptiles, and received coloring books on the illegal wildlife trade. We shared copies of the Jane Goodall PSAs with the zoo's volunteers, and they gave the U.S. embassy posters from their anti-wildlife trafficking campaign.
The Philippine Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau owns the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Nature Center and uses it as a repository for animals that are rescued from illegal air and sea shipments; wild animals confiscated from private owners; and endangered species sold in local pet stores. Manila is a transit point for illegally traded animals and products and the Rescue Center contains confiscated animals and parts from the Americas, Africa, and Asia.
The Center's volunteer group, MyZoo, helps rescue illegally traded wild animals and aims to release the animals back to their natural habitat. MyZoo educates the public to conserve biodiversity; appreciate endemic species; and improve the image, facilities and programs of different zoos.
Embassy Manila invited students from a non-governmental organization-supported school that educates children from the poorest communities in Manila. The organization provides educational and after-school activities for over 800 children, livelihood projects for teens and adults, and health care and religious services for the entire community. Many of the funds for these programs are generated by selling trash to junk shops, recycling paper and aluminum, and selling handbags and jewelry made from recycled material. Many of these recycled accessories made by the students' parents were on display and for sale at the Wildlife Center on World Environment Day.

Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
It's nice to know this work is going on. I have always admired Dr. Jane Goodall, and she has made a HUGE mark on how we think of wildlife within my lifetime. And that a park is named for Ninoy Aquino - well I remember the day and the way he was assassinated. It's wonderful that something so full of life is dedicated to his memory. Jane and Ninoy - two heroic people. What a nice story, Caron. Thank you!
Sam in Canada writes:
I also really admired Jane Goodall or anyone that dedicates their lives to helping animals or other people...excellent story.

Rescueing animals is a very nice hobby for after working hours, but is this really the day job taxpayers are paying for?
Can anyone drop the stray dogs for a moment and spend some time reviewing radio talk show host Art Bell's wife's visa application for a visa for which they paid twice to receive and have post office receipts that their evidence had been received?

I've just bought enough green taiwanese oolong for the next 6 months (found a great deal for winter oolong).
The tea is vacuum sealed, in 50g bags, with some oxygen absorber packets. But it's already 6 months old, and it's green...
I'm wondering if I should keep these bags in the fridge, until I open them, as I do with Sencha?
If so, should I store them in something like a Mason jar, in the fridge (keeping them in their own vacuum sealed bags, of course)? Or is this useless?

Adobe® RoboHelp® 11 software is a professional authoring tool for developing help systems, eLearning content, knowledgebases, and policies and procedures. Its enhanced editing and layout capabilities enable you to create engaging interactive content and to publish to multiple channels — even as an Adobe AIR™ application — for an integrated online and offline user experience.

Adobe® RoboHelp® 11 helps you to create WebHelp output for users who have visual or hearing impairments, mobility impairments, or other types of disabilities. You can also take steps at a design level to remove obstacles for people with disabilities using your Help system.
These solutions support government agencies in meeting their users' needs through Section 508 compliance, as well as companies who are committed to improving accessibility in their Web-based Help systems.
Section 508 is part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requiring that Federal agencies develop, maintain, acquire, or use electronic and information technology to make the systems accessible to people with disabilities. The most recent (1998) version of Section 508 establishes enforceable, government-wide standards.
If you need to make your WebHelp Help system 508 compliant, you should read this topic, read the tips for authoring compliant Help systems, and become familiar with Section 508's requirements.
In general, an information technology system is accessible for people with disabilities if it can be used in a variety of ways that do not depend on a single sense or ability. For example, users should be able to navigate in a WebHelp system with a keyboard, in addition to a mouse (not with a mouse only). Also, the visual and auditory elements of a user interface must accommodate both hearing impaired and visually impaired users.
WebHelp output has a Section 508 Compliant option that provides "alt" text (alternative text) for images, dynamic elements, frames, forms, and more. This text allows visually impaired people using a screen review aid (or assistive software) to "hear" where they are in your Help system and to know what buttons they are pushing.
While WebHelp Section 508 output is compliant for framesets and navigation, you need to make sure you develop Section 508 compliant topics.
For more information, see Adobe RoboHelp Best Practices Overview and Making your WebHelp output accessible.
RoboHelp 11 can also generate tagged PDF files that are partially accessible with the primary language defined. You can use Adobe Acrobat to complete the process by adding alternative text to images in the PDF file and specifying the language for the PDF file.
To generate accessible PDF files from RoboHelp select File > Generate > PDF from the RoboHelp menu.
To create accessible content, create alternative text for images so that visually impaired users can access the content through screen readers. If you link or import completed FrameMaker books into RoboHelp for publication, add alternative text to graphics used in the FrameMaker documents. These entries are not visible in PDF files, but they appear in online content when the mouse hovers over the images. See FrameMaker Help to learn about setting alternative text for graphics and images.
