IGSW Is Now the Center for Aging and Disability Education and Research at Boston University
New Name, Expanded Focus, Same Commitment
October 30, 2012. (Boston, Mass.)—The Institute for Geriatric Social Work is changing its name and expanding its focus, the organization recently announced. IGSW will now be known as the Center for Aging and Disability Education and Research at Boston University, dedicated to strengthening the skills of those serving older adults and people with disabilities. The organization will continue its path-breaking education and training programs aimed at preparing the health and social services workforce for a rapidly aging, diverse society.
"This change in our mission–to include disability as well as aging–reflects the growing movement to integrate supports and services for older adults with those for people with disabilities," said Scott Miyake Geron, the organization's director and an associate professor in the B.U. School of Social Work. "It is also based on our experience with agencies and practitioners who increasingly serve both groups."
Since IGSW/the Center was established in 2002 with funding from the Atlantic Philanthropies, it has trained more than 50,000 practitioners in 25 countries and all 50 states, most often through partnerships with state and local agencies.
"IGSW's unique combination of innovative online educational programs, research on training effectiveness, and workforce redesign made it a national leader," said Sandy Markwood, chief executive officer of the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a). "With current efforts to bring together many separate realms of service to support older adults and people with disabilities, the organization's new name and expanded focus are a welcome development."
"The workforce now and for the future requires access to skill-based educational programs in the workplace," Geron said. "Much of what we have learned since we began has broad application to address the shortage of well-trained professionals that threatens to overwhelm the nation's capacity to provide basic health and social services to people of all ages and abilities. "
The Center for Aging and Disability Research and Education at Boston University is dedicated to strengthening the workforce for organizations serving older adults and people with disabilities. The Center was established as the Institute for Geriatric Social Work (IGSW) in 2002 with a grant from the Atlantic Philanthropies.

All Danes are blond and gorgeous. And all of us have a cabin with a view of a lake. No wonder the whole world wants to be Danish, but don't get your hopes up. We're very protective of our gene pool.
You're smart.
You're planning to go to Denmark.
You've always wanted to visit our country because you know that it's the most exciting nation in the world. You tell yourself, "Why would I want to go to Paris, London or Florence when I can go hiking in Djursland?"

The Green Blogger is close to a burnout and will try to take it easy for the next few days (despite three article deadlines for the week yikes!). I also got some information on the OPX/Dow deal as well as Q&A from Rivertop Renewables' new president Jere Kolstad. It will be posted soon. Another news from Genomatica just came out as I was writing this…that will also be posted soon (no rest for the weary!)
In the meantime, here are last week's news roundup:
Codexis and its partner CO2 Solution Inc. is collaborating with aluminum manufacturer Alcoa in a new pilot program focusing on using carbon capture technology to treat and reuse aluminum manufacturing byproducts such as alkaline clay, bauxite residue and other alkaline industrial residuals. The project will be funded by Alcoa along with $13.5m in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
CJ CheilJedang (CJ Group) and Arkema will build a methyl mercaptan integrated- bio-methionine plant and thiochemicals platform in South East Asia (Malaysia or Thailand). The 80,000 ton bio-methionine production plant and the thiochemicals platform would come on stream at the end of 2013.
Novozymes partner Mossi & Ghisolfi Group (M&G) started construction for a 13m gal/year (50m liters/year) cellulosic ethanol production facility in Crescentino in northwestern Italy. The plant will be 10 times larger than the largest demonstration facilities in operation today and is designed to operate on a multitude of cellulosic feedstocks. It is scheduled to start production in 2012.
POET is expanding its corn oil production that could produce more than 500m lbs/year that could be made into 60m gal/year of biodiesel. POET is now selling Voilà™ corn oil from POET Biorefining — Hudson (S.D.) into biodiesel and feed markets. The corn oil could also be used for other purposes including paint, varnish, ink, detergents, etc.
Google is making its first clean energy project investment in Europe worth €3.5m ($5m) in a solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Germany in partnership with German private equity firm Capital Stage. The solar plant in Brandenburg an der Havel, near Berlin has a peak capacity of 18.65MWp, which puts it among the largest in Germany.
INSIGHT: Bio-processes and products looking for a market.
Chile's ForEnergy is planning biomass-to-liquids (BTL) projects and chose Germany's CHOREN as the synthesis-gas technology partner for the project in Chile.
Australia's Algae.Tec plans to set up between one to three commercial plants in Australia, the United States and a third country by 2014 that will use high-yield algae to produce biofuels and biomass.

Previous Fall 2013 Convocation Events:
Virginia Intermont students and staff are in for a treat at Opening Convocation as Jason Connell, CEO of Ignited Leadership, returns to VI to kick off the fall semester with an inspiring presentation. As part of the ceremony and the beginning of the 2013-14 convocation series, Connell will speak on "The Heart of Leadership" at Opening Convocation, 3:30 p.m. in Harrison-Jones.
Connell was keynote speaker at VI's Opening Convocation ceremony in 2011, and very well received by the VI community. Mutually, he said he really loved his time on campus three years ago and is excited to come back. Connell has done his homework asking questions and learning about VI's programs and students in order to tailor his message which will explore ways that individuals can find leadership opportunities and discover their own leadership skills.
Based in Washington, D.C., Connell is an international speaker and a foremost authority on visionary leadership for young adults, which he says did not come easy. His bio starts out: "At the fresh young age of 19, Jason was a content, ambitious and confident liberal arts student in sunny Florida. And like many other young people in similarly cozy situations, he thought his future would be relatively comfortable and straightforward – graduate from college, find a good job, and generally enjoy the rather hospitable hand that destiny had dealt him. That's when he spent a semester abroad in China. And everything changed."
We can't wait to hear the rest of his story at Thursday's convocation. Following the ceremony, Connell will be a guest for dinner in the Brantley Dining Room. Students, faculty and staff are invited to join him in the BDR for continued conversation on a space available basis. For questions on the ceremony or dinner, contact Will Hankins at 276.466.7170.

Satterwhite teaches Appalachian studies and popular culture studies and has written a book, Dear Appalachia: Readers, Identity, and Popular Fiction since 1878 (University Press of Kentucky, 2011). Her book is the winner of the 2011 Weatherford Award, presented jointly by the Appalachian Studies Association and Berea College for the best work of non-fiction illuminating the Appalachian South. Dear Appalachia also won the 2013 Phi Beta Kappa Sturm Award for Faculty Excellence in Research at Virginia Tech, given in honor of a work's significant contribution to liberal learning and its appeal to wider educated audiences. She earned a B.A. in English from Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, and a Ph.D. from the Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts at Emory University in Atlanta.

Dr. Rucker – Equine Performance Dentistry ****You must Sign Up for this Event (see link at the end of this description)****
The examination and corrections are done using a full mouth speculum. Full mouth speculums are essential for proper identification and treatment of dental problems.
Almost all horses are sedated. Sedation relaxes mastication muscles and facilitates dental procedures especially when major corrections are required. Sedation can be easily reversed when requested.
Bayard A Rucker, D.V.M. Graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in1975 and has been in practice with his wife Peggy (also D.V.M., UGA 1975) in Lebanon, Virginia since graduation.
I developed an interest in equine dentistry in the mid 80's and my US/International practice is limited to equine dentistry. I have computerized radiology enabling me to take and view radiographs on location.
I have lectured and conducted live animal equine dental seminars in the US and Canada for the past 14 years. I have spoken to Veterinary Associations in several provinces in Canada* and to many regional, state and local veterinary continuing education meetings.
I was one of the principal presenters of the In-Depth equine dental seminar at the 1996 American Association of Equine Practitioners annual meeting in Denver, CO. I have presented several papers at the annual AAEP meetings and at the 2006 FOCUS on Dentistry conference. At the 2007 AAEP annual meeting I presented "Identification of re-occurring cheek teeth malocclusions" and was a facilitator for the 90 minute table topic session on advanced dentistry.
I have been a coordinator and instructor for the last 7 AAEP Dental Labs at Lexington KY. in Sept. and the past chair of the AAEP dental Committee.
The Virginia Veterinary Medical Association awarded me the Service Award in 2000 and 2007 for service to the veterinary profession and the VVMA.
NOTE: This event is limited to 30 students/night. In order to attend this event you must be able to 1) show up on time for the event and 2) stay for the entire event. To sign up for this event please click here.

In his artist's statement Gerhardt says: "Through my photographic expressions, I show both the beauty and the sadness of the world as I see it. I do not expect the viewer to relate as I do to the people, places and things in the photographs. But if the viewer comes away having seen something that has made them think or feel in an unexpected way, then my photographs have been successful."

Performances – "Next Fall"
The Theatre Department at Virginia Intermont College presents as its season opener the contemporary play Next Fall by Geoffrey Nauffts. A unique, bold and surprising theatrical offering, Next Fall was presented on Broadway in 2010 and received two Tony nominations – for Best Play and Best Director. It is the story of Adam and Luke, a couple very much in love yet polarized by divergent religious beliefs: Luke is a devout born-again Christian while Adam is a devoted atheist. Parents and friends who cross their paths each have a strong individual religious conviction of their own. All are pulled into a challenge none of them wanted by a tragic incident that makes them examine their lives and beliefs. Of a play that takes a provocative look at gay relationships and religious convictions, Ben Brantley writes in the New York Times: "[Next Fall] considers how the need to believe in something beyond other people tests relationships – among lovers, friends and family members."
VI Theatre professor Bonny Gable directs the play with technical direction provided by Special Events Coordinator Will Hankins and lighting and sound design by Theatre major Paul Pratt of Glade Spring, VA. Stage management is by VI Theatre majors Salonia Thorn of Ellenboro, NC, Shelby Gage of Lodi, CA and Avian Schmigiel of Stanton, VA. Technical assistance is by VI students Brey Warren, Stephanie Nix and Teddy Hart.
The play's cast includes VI Theatre majors Will Duff of Roanoke, VA as Luke, Mary Hannah Garber of Boones Mill, VA as Arlene, Chris Hobbs of Bristol, VA as Adam, Rob Lamb of Fletcher, NC as Butch, Stephanie McIntyre of Stuart, VA as Holly and VI Theatre alumnus Ryan Gray as Brandon.
The play contains adult themes and language and is not recommended for children.
Performances are October 17, 18, and 19 at 7:30 pm and October 20 at 2:30 pm in Trayer Theatre in the Anne Worrell Fine Arts Center on the VI campus. General Admission tickets on sale at the door are $12 for Adults, $10 for Senior Citizens and $5 for students. For more information contact Bonny Gable at 276.466.7973 or email@example.com

Perry Johnson – Faculty Insight
Although Dutch painting of the Golden Age comes in the general European period of Baroque painting, and often shows many of its characteristics, most lacks the idealization and love of splendor typical of much Baroque work, including that of neighboring Flanders. Most work, including that for which the period is best known, reflects the traditions of detailed realism inherited from Early Netherlandish painting.
A distinctive feature of the period is the proliferation of distinct genres of paintings, with the majority of artists producing the bulk of their work within one of these. The full development of this specialization is seen from the late 1620s, and the period from then until the French invasion of 1672 is the core of Golden Age painting." – excerpt from Wikipedia

Angela Rose – Shattering the Silence of Sexual Violence
Angela's efforts have been profiled by CNN, The Today Show, TIME Magazine, The Montel Williams Show, The John Walsh Show, CosmoGirl, Girl's Life magazine and in newspapers nationwide.
At the age of 17, Angela was abducted at knife point outside a suburban Chicago shopping mall. She was assaulted by a repeat sex-offender on parole for murder—and was eventually released by her attacker. Bruised and disoriented, she then suffered at the hands of authorities who—instead of helping her—subjected her to scrutiny, blame and additional victimization. The anguish of her abduction was immediately magnified by anger and a strong sense of injustice at her treatment by authorities.
Angela worked with her attacker's previous victims and other concerned community members to help enact Illinois' Sexually Dangerous Persons Commitment Act in 1998.
Angela continued her activism on the issues of sexual violence prevention as she entered college. There, she perceived a lack of activism on the issues. She then founded the organization, PAVE: Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment, to create education and action surrounding the issues of sexual violence. The organization was immediately recognized for its inclusiveness to all individuals and their experiences. Through PAVE, Angela has trained students (including athletes, fraternities and sororities) in sexual assault prevention, produced a documentary, entitled Transition to Survivor, and founded Men Opposing Sexual Assault, a student group that highlights the importance of men in the anti-sexual assault movement.

Phil Timp – ALS Speaker
Phil Timp, an executive at The Corporate Image in Bristol, Tenn., and a national motivational speaker, will share his powerful and positive "Silver Linings" perspective with the College community at the Sept. 13, 2012, Virginia Intermont Convocation at Harrison-Jones Memorial Hall. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. and is open to the public. Timp's "Silver Linings" presentation brings awareness and serves as a fundraiser for finding a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS, a terminal illness that Timp was diagnosed with in July 2011. Also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, ALS is a progressive motor neuron illness that leads to muscle atrophy. The general prognosis for individuals with ALS is two to five years. Through his "Silver Linings" presentation and Team Timp, a collaboration of family and friends, more than $50,000 has been raised this year.

Rob Merritt – Poet
Professor Rob Merritt, chair of the English Department at Bluefield College and Dean of The College of Arts and Letters, will hold a poetry reading September 20 at Virginia Intermont as part of the College's Convocation Series. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. in Kennedy Auditorium of Science Hall. The public is invited. Merritt is a professor of creative writing and British and American poetry and has published poetry and creative nonfiction in a number of journals. His most recent book of poetry, The Language of Longing, was published in 2012. Merritt is interested in how language and landscape can work as forces for cultural and personal healing. Currently he is writing an essay about fascinating connections between Appalachian and Chinese poetics.
The presentation will include readings from the four parts of The Language of Longing, highlighting some of Merritt's personal journeys. The first part, "Listening to Mountains," highlights strategies for carrying on in the shadowland of Appalachia, and "Trails" traces travels along the journey. "Everyday History" demonstrates Ezra Pound's observation that "all ages are contemporaneous," and the final piece, "Homage to Guides," honors unlikely mentors who have revealed the route. Merritt may also include a brief example of creative nonfiction and will take questions from the audience.
In addition to the evening poetry session, Merritt will conduct a workshop from 2 – 5 p.m. the same day for VI students in the English department. For information about VI's creative writing program, click here. For more information about the Convocation event, call Will Hankins at 276.466.7170.

2011 Honda FourTrax Foreman 4X4 ES TRX500FE
The 2011 Honda FourTrax Foreman 4X4 ES TRX500FE is built to handle the toughest jobs, of course. But when the work is done and the weekend dawns, the Foreman can't wait to show you its fun-loving side. No matter how you use your Foreman, you'll love its powerful 475 cc air-cooled engine that churns out torque low in the rev range yet also has exciting top-end performance thanks in part to its hemispherical combustion chamber. A precise foot-shift transmission, easily switchable 2WD/4WD, stable yet comfortable suspension, and specially designed front disc brakes with thick, long-life brake pads, all combine to make your work more productive, and your play way more fun.
To build a great workhorse ATV, we start with the heart
The FourTrax Foreman 4x4 is built around our strong, single-cylinder, 475cc longitudinal engine. By orienting the crankshaft front-to-back in the chassis, we route the flow of power straight to the wheels without any right-angle detours, reducing power-train friction and putting more grunt to the ground. Hey, it's a Honda. You wouldn't expect anything less.
FourTrax Foreman 4x4/FourTrax Foreman 4x4 with Electric Power Steering
This powerful and rugged 4x4 ATV mates a reliable manual-shift gearbox to
a time-tested air-cooled 475cc OHV engine--it's Honda quality at its best.
And you have the choice of standard steering or the ease of Electric Power
Steering (EPS).
Your weekly list of chores isnt getting easier, so why would you opt for an ATV that isnt up to the job? Enter the Honda FourTrax Foreman 4x4, a tough-as-nails machine thats one of the hardest-working ATVs in our Utility lineup, featuring a beefy 475cc, longitudinally mounted single armed with heaps of task-tackling torque. Our exclusive, electronic, shift-on-the-fly TraxLok® selectable 2WD/4WD system. And optional, push-button Electric Shift Program (ESP) and Electric Power Steering (EPS) to help make your work that much easier.
And for the record, after youve put away your tools, the Foreman 4x4 loves to play just as hard as it works.
Important Safety Information
Recommended for riders 16 years of age and older. Honda recommends that all ATV riders take a training course and read their owner's manual thoroughly.

Exterior painting recommendations
I've been visiting local paint stores here in SE Tennessee and checking the posts on this site and would like to get some recommendations. I need to repaint the exterior of my house which was built in the 60's. It was a rental for a long time before I bought it - I think that at least one coat of paint on the outside was actually interior paint. About 6 years ago, I hired professional painters to paint the wood (due to above interior paint, peeling paint and the fact that it tests positive for lead). The best I can remember, they used oil based primer (possibly Richards?); not sure what they went over the primer with though. Within a couple of years, the paint was peeling again. So now I'm going to do the job and want to eliminate the problems if possible.
The majority of the peeling paint is on the 2 eaves which face north and south (most of house is brick). The attic is ventilated with blown in insulation so moisture from the attic side shouldn't be the peeling culprit; the eaves have about a 3' overhang so that should protect from most rain. I'm thinking that previous bad surface prep is most likely the cause.
So, now to the questions: after I scrape off all the loose paint, what to use to best undercoat for the worst parts? One paint store recommended Mad Dog Primer; their web site video shows surfaces just like mine. Or is Xim Peel Bond better?
Paints considered/recommended are SW Duration or Ben Moore Aura. I'm a bit concerned by comments I've seen about quick drying time difficulty. I'm a good painter but not a pro by any means; I'll be painting off a ladder to time is a factor.
I really like the warranty terms for both of these, but don't want to get something that's beyond my ability to apply well.
What do you recommend?
After the proper prep of scraping, sanding, and washing I would prime with Sherwin Williams A100 oil base primer, caulk as needed and top coat with Sherwin Williams SuperPaint,given the year your home was built it will contain lead, I would try to follow lead safe work practices as much as possible for your health and your families, if your the home owner you don't have to be a certified renovator, but I would at least still wear a n100 mask, disposable coveralls, disposable gloves, seal off windows and doors when scraping, hook up any sanders to a hepa vac, use plastic to catch the paint chips and wash your hands well before eating
Well, there could be a number of issues causing the problem, and we'll need more detailed info to try and find the cause, to then propose the best solution(s)
6 years ago, was it just the suspected interior paint peeling...or did more than just that top coat peel off?
When it was peeling again, did it go down to but leave the primer?
Or did the primer come off also?
Are the peeling areas down to bare wood?
Make sure the attic's ventilation is in fact working, just because the vents are there doesn't mean it's functional
And depending on what type of vents you have the blown insulation could be interfering with it
Also check for any roof leaks that may not leave obvious "water-damage"
Worn or chipped shingles can let just enough moisture behind trim to affect coatings
Depending on your replies you may need specific solutions to your problem
Also I'd be remiss not to mention as your house was built in the '60s it is illegal for you to scrape and/or sand unless you take the EPA approved lead containment course and get certified (about $275 for the course)
This is a federal law and you can be fined over $30,000 if you do not abide by it, or if you do not abide by the procedures described in the course
We are an EPA Certified Firm and have Certified Renovators, if you are the owner of the home and are doing the work yourself you don't have to be certified, but I would still follow lead safe work practices to protect yourself and famillly
Our (DIYChatroom) regs have led us to prohibit DIY lead removal advice (due to liability) for years (though states have varied in their regs.)
As of this point (right now, due to the new Fed Regs), it's pretty much a done deal we won't allow anything of the sort even insinuating a fix for lead issues
Please/kindly cease and desist in this type of advice immediately
I don't disagree that many homeowners/DIYers have had the alternative of encapsulating lead (w/o cert.) themselves for years
However, the new regs effective last week prohibit even that alternative
Thank you for your support in/on this issue
Regardless, due to the discrepancies (and liabilities), we do not allow DIY Lead Paint removal, abatement, or advice here
Again, Thank You For Your Input and Support
Any good bonding primer will stick to lead paint
I do understand the logic though! I wonder how the ban on paint with lead advice will affect this site... the other forums too, since this lead thing affects so manyu area of contruction and maintenance.
I seldom come here since I do not get notices of replies. I hope I can remember to check back on this subject.
It is not quite accurate
Certainly the best solution (as always) is to remove ALL paint to the bare wood
But I have never heard of or experienced the necessity of this solution in this type of case
In reality there hasn't been a need as yet per se, as we have been able to reply on a case by case basis, clarifying the state/region differences, and basically saying "you are on your own" as to H/O encapsulation or whatever
These new laws though...phew...we (this site) should probably sticky something about them
I'm not sure how it (the new laws) will ultimately play out, but 37K (fine) a day...whoo boy
These new laws though...phew...we (this site) should probably sticky something about them

Hey slick, it is ONLY $32,500 a day not $37K, we can afford that, right??:laughing:
Actually, it has been increased to $37,500, and that is not per day, but per violation. So, if you were doing 5 windows in a house, you could incur 5 fines. Then there is also a provision to double that fine if it is done 'knowingly or willfully' with added criminal penalties. These are max fines and as of yet, I do not know personally of any being fined. I'm not sure if the EPA has started recruiting inspectors/enforcers for this reg yet.
A link to the EPA laws in effect now (as of April 22nd)

The fantastic sea views and comfortable accommodation will make for many unforgettable moments.
The area is situated on Minorca's south coast where spectacular, white sand beaches combine with small rocky inlets and crystal clear waters, permitting swimming with fish in Paradise. It is therefore not surprising to find small clubs in the area dedicated to watersports and diving.
The south-east coast comprises small touristic urbanisations and untouched areas very near Sant Lluis town and just 5km from the airport and Mahon, the island's capital. It si a very luxurious area, with extraordinary properties but affected bya plane noise.

For final polishing, choose the appropriate Meguiar's foam pad and Meguiar's M205 Ultra Finishing Polish. Rotary Application: Set buffer to approximately 1500-2000 RPM's. Use with Meguiar's Wool Pad. To prime new or dry pads, mist on M34 Final Inspection. Apply M105 Ultra-Cut Compound directly to the paint surface and begin working in a 2'x2' area with overlapping passes. Continue working until defects or sanding marks are removed. Wipe remaining residue with a Meguiar's M9910 Ultimate Wipe Microfiber Cloth prior to polishing. For final polishing, choose the appropriate Meguiar's foam pad and Meguiar's M205 Ultra Finishing Polish.
* For best results use with Meguiar's Soft Buff 2.0 Pads
* For pad maintenance and ultimate results, clean pad frequently
* For optimum results on OEM paint use a lower speed setting (1200-1500) and less pressure
* For less aggressive cutting use Meguiar's W8207 Foam Polishing Pad.
* M105 is excellent for rubbing out door jambs, and spot hand compounding. Simply apply to a soft cloth, we recommend our M9910 Ultimate Wipe Cloth, and rub desired area. Wipe residue with clean side of towel.

There are only 11 times in history when the "F" word has been considered acceptable for use.
They are as follows:
11. What the @#$% do you mean we're sinking?
Capt. E.J. Smith of RMS Titanic, 1912
10. What the @#% was that?
Mayor of Hiroshima, 1945
9. Where did all those @#$%ing Indians come from?
General G.A. Custer, 1877
8. Any @#$%ing idiot could understand that
Albert Einstein, 1938
7. It does so @#$%ing look like her
Picasso, 1926
6. How the @#$% did you work that out?
Pythagoras, 126 BC
5. You want WHAT on the @#$%ing ceiling?
Michelangelo, 1566
4. Where the @#$% are we?
Amelia Earhart, 1937
3. Scattered @#$%ing showers my ass
Noah, 4314 BC
2. Aw C'com. Who the @#$% is going to find out?
Bill Clinton, 1998
1. Geez, I didn't think they'd get this @#$%ing mad
Saddam Hussein, 2003
When Injustice Becomes Law....Rebellion Becomes Duty
The only thing wrong with Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was that it was the South, not the North, that was fighting for a government of the people, by the people and for the people."
-- H. L. Mencken
Yes very APPROPRIATE uses of the word ?
One of William Jefferson Clintons favorite words as in it wouldn?t be appropriate to mess the Oval office hallway Monica ? but then they went ahead and did it anyway.

Canada sending 3 military choppers to assist in Philippines relief effort
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Saturday, November 16, 2013 12:22PM EST
Last Updated Saturday, November 16, 2013 2:27PM EST
The Canadian Armed Forces are sending three military helicopters and crews to the Philippines, to assist with relief efforts in the typhoon-ravaged country.
Two of the three CH-146 Griffon helicopters are scheduled to deploy Sunday from Canadian Forces Base Trenton aboard a military transport craft, Defence Minister Rob Nicholson announced Saturday.
Nicholson said the helicopters will provide assistance to the Disaster Assistance Response Team, which is currently on the ground helping with relief efforts.
"The government of Canada and all Canadians are committed to helping relief and stabilization efforts in the Philippines," Nicholson said in a statement.
The Griffon helicopters can be used to provide airlift to soldiers, retrieving individuals in remote areas and providing support during natural disasters. The aircraft are also used for search and rescue missions, surveillance and casualty evacuations.
As of Saturday morning, the Emergency Watch and Response Centre received inquiries regarding 187 Canadians who were thought to be in the affected areas of the country. While 136 of those individuals confirmed they were safe, 51 Canadians are still missing.
According to the latest figures from the Philippine's main disaster agency, 3,637 people died, and 12,501 were injured after Typhoon Haiyan slammed into the country. More than 600,000 people were rendered homeless, and 1,186 individuals are still missing.
Canadian soldiers on the ground have made clean drinking water a priority. Col. Stephen Kelsey of Canadian Joint Operations Command said a water purification system is set to arrive in the Philippines by early next week. The purification system will produce 50,000 litres of safe drinking water a day.
Kelsey also said DART was able to send out a medical team to treat victims in hard-hit areas. Around 200 DART members will be providing aid to typhoon victims. But reaching certain communities is challenging, as some roads remain blocked by debris from the storm, Kelsey said.
Canada's ambassador-designate to the Philippines said Saturday that three additional consular staff are being sent to the city of Roxas, to work with the Canadian Forces and local officials. The staff will work to assess long-term assistance needs in the region.
Meanwhile, a group of medical practitioners from Taiwan have set up a make-shift hospital in an evacuation centre in Cebu City, to treat people who have been evacuated from the city of Tacloban.
Doctors at the centre told CTV News' Melanie Nagy that the risk of infection rises in the weeks following natural disasters, due to unsanitary conditions and a lack of clean water.

WWII Grenade Found In Dumpster
A rare military artifact was found in a dumpster tonight, and it was blown-up about an hour later. It was actually a hand grenade that bomb squad members say is from either World War 2 or the Korean War. Deputies weren't sure if it was still live when they found it, but there's no longer any doubt - it caused a huge explosion when detonated.
"I think it was someone who found it or had it, wanted to get rid of it, they were afraid they were gonna get in trouble so they threw it in the dumpster," said Lt. Dan Brinsko.
It was found in this dumpster next to a Masonic lodge in Northeast Gainesville by a waste management worker. Lt. Brinsko says it's not all that uncommon.
"Nowadays anybody comes back from afghanistan or iraq they are scrutinized very heavily," said Brinsko, "but back in World War 2 and Korea maybe that wasn't done as well."
If you're wondering where the investigation goes from here, the answer is probably nowhere. Police officers at the scene said that they'll document the incident, and if anyone gives them information about where the bomb came from they'll certainly follow it up, but at this point they have no leads.
So the mystery remains.

5.0 stars 9 totalReview Burton Padove
Posted by Bruce
I retained Mr. Padove to resolve a child support issue. His ethics mirrored my own and his thoroughness in the process was impressive. Equally impressive was his availability to answer questions, return e-mails or phone calls, and offer advice and considerations that were beneficial to me. I would highly recommend Burton Padove for your Family, Personal Injury, or Medical Malpractice needs.
Posted by Keri
Burton was very helpful in the question I asked along with giving me good advice as to what I need to do, answered me in a timely manner, thanks so much Burton!
Posted by anonymous
Mr. Padove is a very knowledgeable and skilled attorney. He always returned my calls and emails promptly and answered any questions I had. He utilizes email and is very good at providing updates. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends or family.
Posted by Julie
I would recommend Burt without hesitation. My initial contact with him was for a real estate matter. I have known many lawyers and found Burt to be very knowledgeable, thorough, and most importantly (and somewhat rare for a lawyer), realistic about what the outcome was likely to be and what courses of action were likely to be most cost-effective in terms of results obtained.
That was several years ago, and now Burt is my go-to lawyer whenever I have a legal question, whether it's family law, real estate, or employment. He gives good, sound advice, and tells me when the fight is worth it and when it's not. He is also very courteous and tactful, and never makes me feel that my questions or concerns are insignificant, or that other clients are more important.
I also appreciate that Burt returns calls promptly, or if he cannot due to other obligations such as court appearances, will let me know when to expect a response. I've never had to call more than once to get a call back, and I have worked with Burt as needed over several years now.
Recently I had a fairly unusual legal issue come up (totally not Burt's area of expertise, in fact, I sincerely doubt it is ANY lawyer's area of expertise), and I was impressed by how thoroughly Burt looked into all the possible issues before making any recommendations.
To sum up, I would not hesitate to recommend Burt, and he will be the first and only attorney I call next time I need one.
Posted by Edy
Words can not express how thankful I am that I chose Burton Padove to handle my legal matters. Burton is professional, knowledgeable and thorough. He is prompt in returning phone calls and e-mails. Burton kept me informed throughout the entire process and always made sure I understood everything that was going on. I was able to rest easy knowing Burton was taking care of my legal issues. I would highly recommend Attorney Padove and know that if I have any future legal issues, he will be the first and only attorney I call.
Posted by anonymous
When my son got in trouble three hours away from our home, I did not know who to call or how to help him. Through my husband's work benefit, I was given Burton Padove's contact information.
Mr. Padove answered my call immediately even though he was busy and he promised to call me shortly. I did not expect to hear from him for several hours. Within a few minutes, Mr. Padove called me back. He took my son's case and left me worry-free.
Mr. Padove kept me informed of all pertinent details of my son's case and handled it very professionally.
I know now who to call should any more issues arise, or if I just need a great lawyer in northwest Indiana.

Burton is a great lawyer,i have an autistic daughter i was with her father for 13years,we were separated.I needed a lawyer for custody,visitation&support.i was lucky to find Mr.Padove he works with me to do what was the best for me and my daughter.he is very courteous,he always respectful and gentle with questions regarding my daughters special needs he has always answered my questions promptly,and if i didn't understand anything he explained them to me without making me feel stupid.I would rec amend him to any one.i had spoke with a few other attorneys whom did not understand the fact my daughters father is an alcoholic which made things difficult not only has he understood he is helping me to do what best .. he has gone through this with me step by step.always letting me what needs to be done with enough time for me to be able to do them .its nice to have some one willing to go the extra mile thank you Burton.

We used this attorney to do our will. It was great because most everything was done via email including revisions. One office visit to sign off on final documents. Very easy and painless. He also participates in the Hyatt Legal Plan so no upfront costs if you're in this plan!

Words alone can't express our thankfullness and just plain being lucky in finding Burton. The care and concern that he showed our family in such a time of great loss was beyond any expectations that you could have for a lawyer.
Never in my life have I seen someone so dedicated to getting closure to a case and in such a short time.
We just can't recommend this man high enough.
Thanks from the Milhone family.
