Connecting
nonprofits with technology volunteers
By
TINA ARNOLDI
Special to Charleston Currents
JAN.
6, 2011 - "Our computers were donated ... in 1994."

"Someone
did our Web site, but we can't find him to update it."
These
are the complaints from many nonprofits in our community. With limited
resources, it's hard to find solutions to these problems. With an
obvious priority of meeting community needs, in-house technology-related
issues are often on the back burner.
Realizing
this need, some tech people in Charleston talked about what to do.
Early in 2010, Michael Carnell of Palmettobug
Digital and I started the Palmetto
Technology Hub, known as SC Path. Fortunately, we have
a very active tech community and quickly had a number of volunteers
sign up. We've been able to promote the service to nonprofits as
part of my role with
Coastal Community Foundation.
 Here's
how the service works: Volunteers sign up through the Web site,
listing their areas of expertise, such as networking or Web design.
They also have the opportunity to indicate interest in providing
free group training to nonprofits. Once they sign up, they receive
log-in information to our help desk system.
Nonprofits
also visit the Web site to request help. They provide contact information
and a brief description of their issue. We have a disclaimer stating
that help is not guaranteed and may not be immediate, so they don't
rely on the service for emergencies. It's all dependent on the availability
of volunteers.
When
the ticket is submitted, all registered volunteers receive an email
notification. A volunteer with the right skill set and time will
take ownership of the case and correspond with the nonprofit about
the need. This is all done within a central helpdesk system so everyone
can see what's happening with a case and other volunteers have the
opportunity to provide their input.
 It's
off to a good start and that's due to our committed volunteers.
The Web site was built and is hosted by Michael Carnell at no charge.
The only monetary expense has been some inexpensive business cards
to promote our service. We have several goals for 2011, and invite
the community to support us through time or simply spreading the
word.
- Starting
in February, we're sending a monthly e-newsletter with tech tips
and upcoming events. You can subscribe at www.scpath.org.
- We
need a creative person to design an official logo for use on the
site.
- We
hope to offer more training. In 2011, we had a session on Twitter
and one on Web sites. Both were well received.
- There
are a few nonprofit and volunteer spotlights in the "News"
section of our site. We'd like to do more of that so people can
know about the great things being accomplished.
- And
finally, a FAQs or resource section. We're providing tips in our
e-newsletter and would like to eventually have a resource section
on the site as well.
Visit
www.scpath.org
if you need assistance or can offer your tech skills to a nonprofit.
We also invite trainers who are willing to share their information
in small group sessions. If you have any suggestions or ideas for
this project, please email your ideas to tina@scpath.org.

Community Foundation of South Carolina.
Restaurant Week
is back for a third helping this month
By ANN THRASH, contributing editor
JAN.
6, 2011 - January used to be a slow time in the restaurant business
in Charleston. Not so anymore, thanks to the huge success of
Charleston Restaurant Week. The event made its debut in January
of last year and was such a smash that, rather than wait a full
year for another go-round, the Greater Charleston Restaurant Association
(the event's sponsor) decided to hold an early-fall version, too.
That took place Sept. 8-19 and was likewise a big hit, with more
than 50 restaurants participating.
The
third Charleston Restaurant Week is right around the corner - it
will take place Jan. 14-22. Restaurants all over the Lowcountry,
from neighborhood joints to white-tablecloth spots, will be offering
some truly exceptional deals - many featuring three courses for
$30 or three courses for $20. Last year, a number of restaurants
were so pleased with the turnout that they extended the special
deals through the end of January, making Restaurant Week a gift
that kept on giving.
 What's
neat about Restaurant Week is that even a quick glance at the list
of participating dining spots makes it clear that whether they're
old or new, Charleston or North Charleston, East Cooper or West
Ashley, Folly Beach or Isle of Palms, restaurants all over the area
are behind this event.
Just
a few of the participating places include Husk, Slightly North of
Broad, Pearlz Oyster Bar, the various Wild Wing Cafes, the Sanctuary
at Kiawah, 82 Queen, Rice Market, Fish, Palmetto Ale House, Blu,
Blossom, the Boathouse at Breach Inlet, and the Woodlands. Now that's
really something for everyone.
I
like the approach taken by one couple I know who have vowed to use
Restaurant Week to try out two or three of the most recently opened
places in town. That's my plan this year, too. One spot we'll be
visiting for sure is Eurasia, a great new restaurant in the Whole
Foods Shopping Center in Mount Pleasant. My mom, sister and I had
lunch there shortly after it opened in early December, and it was
outstanding, so I'm eager to try it for dinner and to introduce
it to my husband.
Eurasia's
managing partner, Andy Fallen, has been associated with some of
Charleston's best restaurants in the past 15 years -- including
Peninsula Grill, 39 Rue de Jean, Coast, and Samos Taverna. If my
recent lunch was any indication, Eurasia is well on the way to being
one of Mount Pleasant's top restaurants. Check out its Restaurant
Week menu, which features three courses for $30:
- First
course: a choice of Hot and Sour Soup, Fried East Coast Oysters,
or Chopped Romaine Caesar.
- Second
course:
a choice of Gingersnap Crusted Pork Loin, Sauteed Shrimp &
Smoked Gouda Grits, or "Off the Hook 'Rockafella' "
(which is described on Eurasia's regular menu as "daily catch
- fried oysters - creamed spinach with fontina cheese - cherrywood
smoked bacon - stravecchio - mashers").
- Third
course: a choice of Country Fair Apple Fritters, Hazelnut
Chocolate Pate, or a scoop of gelato or sorbet.
That
kind of terrific value and delectable food is what Restaurant Week
is all about. There's a list of all participating restaurants, with
links to the special menu deals they'll be offering, here.
You can also "like" the Restaurant Association's Charleston
Food Festivals page on Facebook
for ongoing updates.
One
final bit of advice: It's not too early to start making reservations.
Hit that Web site, plot your course, and reserve those tables!

Citadel
named state's first Storm Ready University
The
Citadel is the first college in South Carolina to join a small group
of colleges and universities across the Southeast taking the initiative
to prepare an emergency response plan for severe weather.
 Storm
Ready University is a nationwide program that helps communities
better protect their citizens during severe weather ranging from
tornadoes to tsunamis. The program encourages communities to take
a proactive approach to improving local hazardous weather operations.
Bob
Williamson, The Citadel's director of environmental and health safety,
spearheaded the emergency response plan.
"To
qualify for Storm Ready recognition," Williamson said, "the
college had to establish a 24-hour warning point, implement a system
to monitor and receive the severe weather warnings, develop a formal
weather response plan, and regularly promote the importance of readiness
through training and exercises. Essentially, we have overhauled
our emergency response protocol."
Storm
Ready University is a volunteer-based program supported by the National
Weather Service and the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration.

Chamber
launches Green Initiative for businesses
The
Charleston
Metro Chamber of Commerce launched its Green Initiative Wednesday
at its quarterly membership meeting.
The
Chamber's Green Initiative was created to promote regional prosperity
through innovative solutions that reduce businesses' environmental
footprint and positively impact the region's quality of life.
 "The
Chamber is committed to the balanced application of sustainable
efforts within the workplace. The goal of our new Green Initiative
is to show businesses how they can implement sustainable practices
and add to their own bottom line," Chris Fraser, regional advancement
vice chair and chairman of the new Green Initiative, said. "In
other words, it is about being green and saving green. Our ultimate
goal is to do our part to contribute to our nation's energy independence
through local efforts, specifically aimed at our region's business
community."
The
Chamber launched its Green Initiative to help small-to-mid-sized
businesses save money while doing the right thing for the community
and the global environment. Involvement with this new Chamber initiative
will help members reduce their imprint, improve their triple bottom
Line (People, Planet, Profits) and increase the loyalty of their
staff, customers and overall image.
"Implementing
green practices not only positions our community for better sustainability
but it can also help businesses cut costs and be more productive
with their resources. The ultimate goal is to contribute to our
nation's energy independence through local efforts to create a lower
reliance on fossil fuels and other non-renewable resources,"
said Fraser.
In
addition, the Chamber is encouraging its members to fill out the
Green Initiative Checklist, which consists of a few questions to
help businesses get started with their sustainability efforts. Any
member that fills out the check list can also participate in the
Chamber's Council on Green Business, which will meet each quarter
beginning in the first quarter of 2011 with the mission to provide
members with leading sustainability and environmental education
as well as a network of resources and experts to help save them
time and expense.
The
Chamber also has partnered with the city of Charleston on the Green
Business Challenge. The Chamber's role is to help recruit businesses
to participate in the challenge, to host training seminars throughout
the year and to look for existing Chamber programs to feature green/sustainable
topics which would include panels of members that are already implementing
green practices.

Malaria
eroded lives, energy of Lowcountry residents
Malaria
was arguably the most significant disease in the history of South
Carolina from the colonial period until the early twentieth century.
It attracted less public discussion than yellow fever and smallpox,
but its impact in terms of morbidity and mortality was much greater.
Plasmodium falciparum ring-forms and gametocytes in human
blood. |
Whereas
yellow fever and smallpox tended to erupt in spectacular but short-lived
epidemics, malaria quietly and steadily eroded the lives and energy
of a large part of the population. The most common symptoms of malaria
are fever, chills, and aches. In classic cases, spikes in the fever
come at regular intervals. Depending on the severity and type of
case, malaria may produce vomiting, severe headaches, jaundice,
hemorrhaging, blood clots, an enlarged spleen, and renal failure.
Before the late nineteenth century malaria was referred to by various
names, including ague and fever, intermittent fever, and remittent
fever. From the late colonial period, many South Carolinians called
it "country fever" to distinguish it from yellow fever,
which was largely confined to Charleston and other ports.
Malaria
is a parasitic infection caused by protozoa known as plasmodia
and transmitted by anopheline mosquitoes. Two types of malaria dominated
in South Carolina. Both are highly debilitating diseases that produce
lethargy and vulnerability to other infections. Plasmodium vivax,
which probably came with European settlers in the 1670s, is the
less virulent of the two forms. The introduction of the more deadly
Plasmodium falciparum came with the importation of large
numbers of African slaves in the 1680s and after. Many West Africans
were immune to vivax, and some had acquired or inherited
resistance to falciparum. The observations of planters and
physicians of black resistance to malaria helped give rise to the
proslavery argument that blacks were peculiarly adapted to labor
in the southern climate. Nevertheless, many blacks suffered severely
from falciparum, as they still do in parts of Africa.
By
the early eighteenth century, malaria was endemic in the Lowcountry.
It continued to plague the region throughout the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, and was a major contributor to the region's
high mortality rates and reputation for unhealthiness. It was particularly
dangerous to infants, young children and pregnant women. The severity
of malaria was the result not only of the Lowcountry's semitropical
climate and marshy topography but also of its plantation economy,
particularly the cultivation of rice and indigo, which provided
ideal breeding conditions for the anophelines. From the late colonial
period, the threat of malaria transformed many of the planting families
of the Lowcountry into seasonal migrants. They fled the plantations
during the summer and early autumn for locations perceived to be
less dangerous: the North, Charleston, the pinelands, the upcountry
and the seashore.
During
the nineteenth century, malaria became a major health problem in
much of the state, especially in newly cleared and undrained lands
and along river valleys. It reached epidemic status on several occasions
during the Civil War and after. In the early twentieth century,
coastal South Carolina was one of the most persistent hyperendemic
pockets of the disease in the country. In the 1930s parasite rates
as high as 50 percent were not uncommon among schoolchildren in
rural areas, with the highest rates in the coastal counties. In
the early 1940s the construction of Santee Cooper hydroelectric
dams produced one of the last epidemics of malaria. In the rush
to complete the project in the face of war, the upper reservoir
(Lake Marion) was not completely cleared of trees. They impeded
flow and provided excellent breeding grounds for anophelines. In
1944, 39 percent of people living on the north shore of the lake
tested positive for malaria. By the early 1950s, however, the disease
had virtually disappeared from the state for reasons that are still
not entirely understood, but improvements in mosquito control (especially
the development of the pesticide DDT), drainage, housing and nutrition
probably all played a part.

Tips for
mental misdirection
These scenarios
can happen at any point:
- You are
walking to your car at the shopping mall after late night of shopping
and a stalker follows you.
- You are
sound asleep in your home and you are awakened by an intruder.
- Your teenager
is talking back constantly and fighting over even the littlest
things.
- You find
a posting from a friend on Facebook that reads like a suicide
note.
- You and
your spouse just had a "blow-out" over seemingly uncomplicated
matters.
 Dr.
Ryan Blumenthal, author of "Mentalist Martial Arts" has
been studying, researching, and practicing the field of forensic
science in South Africa for more than 14 years. Every forensic case
has a story to tell, and Blumenthal asks "could there have
been avoidable factors in the death of that individual?"
Blumenthal
claims that most life-threatening scenarios such as homicides and
suicides happen during the immediate "emotional storm."
There is no time to get to the root of the problem but you must
misdirect the anger. Here are his tips:
- If you
are being accosted by a male perpetrator, the female should fake
a seizure, throw up, start convulsing, or roll her eyes back to
throw off the attacker.
- Think through
the scenario of someone entering your home and have an escape
and/or defensive plan i.e. phone speed dial alert, yell that the
silent alarm went off.
- In a verbal
confrontation try to immediately change the subject matter and
misdirect the conversation and allow the peak emotions to die
down.
- Use triple
negatives to destroy linear thinking patterns and distract the
aggressor.
Asking
why
"The important
thing is not to stop questioning."
