Statistics tell us that most people who quit smoking gain some weight initially. On average, that gain is between 4 to 10 pounds. And for a lot of folks, it is temporary and falls back off within the first year of smoking cessation.
Learn how smoking affects metabolism, and create a plan of action to minimize potential weight gain before you quit smoking. A little preparation can go a long way toward helping you avoid the need to invest in a larger wardrobe to fit your new, nonsmoking self.
Set Realistic GoalsDon't overload yourself with too many expectations. Smoking cessation, while far from impossible, is hard work for most of us early on. Starting a new diet at the same time you quit smoking can be a recipe for disaster. Aim instead to maintain your current weight while you manage nicotine withdrawal and the months beyond it. Once you're comfortable with your smoke-free status, you can turn your attention to shedding extra weight you're carrying. If you've only gained the typical 4 to 10 pounds, the task won't be too daunting.
A Change in Eating HabitsFor many ex-smokers, food takes on a new importance that can quickly become an unhealthy obsession if we're not careful.
In part, it has to do with needing a replacement for the act of smoking. Smokers have a powerful hand-to-mouth association and eating is a hand-to-mouth activity. But also, food simply tastes better without cigarette tar clogging delicate taste buds on our tongues. It's not uncommon for ex-smokers to note that food tastes entirely different than it did when they smoked.
And then there is the fact that food signals comfort for many of us. A lot of people, smokers or not, use food to soothe and pacify. For those of us who are dealing with the discomforts of nicotine withdrawal, it's natural to turn to food to ease raw nerves and emotions.
While we cannot stop eating like we have stopped smoking, we can make choices that will help us avoid weight gain and even enhance how we feel physically. A diet rich in nutrients helps us be at our physical and emotional best, which, in turn makes it easier to maintain the strong will and determination that is necessary to successfully recover from nicotine addiction.
Use the tips below to help you start thinking creatively about how to use food as a tool for good health rather than a replacement for smoking.
10 Tips For Minimizing Quit-Related Weight Gain
Pay attention to portions.
Downsize serving sizes: Use a lunch-size plate rather than a dinner plate, and stop after one plate full.
Read labels.
Aim for foods low in fat and high in protein and fiber. And speaking of portion sizes, be sure to check packaged food labels for portion sizes as well.
Keep temptation out of the house.
If it's not there, you can't eat it. Stock the fridge and cupboards with healthy food choices so that when the urge to snack strikes, the right foods are within easy reach.
Indulge your sweet tooth at a restaurant.
Don't allow a half-gallon of ice cream shelf space in your freezer. Instead, head out to the ice cream parlor when you're in the mood for a sundae. Doing this safeguards against going back for another scoop, or worse, another bowl later on.
Drink plenty of water.
If you have the urge to snack, drink a glass of water first. It will help fill you up. So you will eat less, and also beat cravings to smoke.
Think 80/20.
If 80% of the meals and snacks you eat on a given day are healthy and in the right portions, you can allow yourself a few treats with the other 20% without throwing your diet out of whack.
Eat more often.
Try eating 5 or 6 small meals throughout your day. The urge to snack is intense early on in cessation, so snack-size meals may suit your needs perfectly. And the good news is, small meals every few hours could give your metabolism a boost. Just watch your calories and keep the total for the day within the correct range for your body.
Go for a walk.
Exercise will help you avoid weight gain. As little a half hour walk a day can be enough to help you keep your weight stable, as long as you're eating well too. And exercise improves mood too, a nice fringe benefit.
Distract yourself.
Boredom is a big trigger for smoking and for eating. Make an abrupt change in what you're doing and you can distract yourself away from mindless snacking.
Find some support.
The smoking cessation forum here at About.com is a supportive community of people who are working to quit smoking. Stop in and browse the message board of this active group as a guest, or register (free) and join the discussion.
Don't Romance the CigaretteEarly smoking cessation is an awkward, uncomfortable state for most of us. Add weight gain into the equation and we're ripe for a bad case of junkie thinking. Don't be tempted to return to smoking as a means to control your weight. Take it from one who knows. I lost a 6-month quit once because I was convinced smoking would help me lose weight. Wrong! When it was all said and done, I still had to diet to lose the weight I'd gained during smoking cessation, plus I needed to quit smoking again because I was back to a pack-a-day habit.
Dig your heels in and focus on losing your addiction to nicotine first and the weight second. Once you're comfortable in your nonsmoking skin, you'll be better equipped to apply your time and energy toward losing weight successfully. And speaking of success, there is absolutely nothing better for a person's self-confidence and ability to tackle challenges effectively than succeeding at smoking cessation.

Tribe's Martinez driven by love of game
Catcher recovering from injury-riddled 2008 with a smile
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Asked what keeps him smiling through the duration of a long baseball season, Victor Martinez only smiles wider."I just love this game," he says. "You look around, and we're blessed to be here, wearing a big league uniform with nice shoes, nice batting gloves, looking good. What else can you ask? You just need to go out and enjoy it." But even the exuberant Martinez didn't enjoy it last year.

BOSTON (AP) - Mike Conley had 23 points and nine assists to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 93-83 victory over the Celtics on Wednesday night and send Boston to its fourth consecutive loss.
Rudy Gay scored 19 points and ex-Celtic Tony Allen had a season-high 15 points for Memphis.
Paul Pierce scored 17 for Boston, but he had just one basket in the third quarter and none in the fourth while missing seven of his last eight shots.
Rajon Rondo had 11 points and 10 assists for the Celtics, who trailed by 18 after the opening basket of the fourth quarter but closed the gap to 83-78 with under 5 minutes to play on back-to-back 3-pointers from Jason Terry.

Lamar Williams
"My education at JCC allowed my family to buy our first home"Two years ago, I was working as a state employee, frustrated with my job that barely paid the bills. Today, I love going to work at a local biopharmaceutical industry and now make enough money to buy my wife and two daughters our first home.
My success is possible because of the skills I learned through the BioWork certificate program at Johnston Community College. Every thing I learned in the program I now use on the job.
The BioWork program is a great opportunity to earn a significant salary quickly. A four-month, $165 course has turned into a lucrative career in just my first year in the industry.
Coming back to school was definitely a commitment but one I was more than willing to make. Whenever I talk to people who are struggling to make ends meet, I tell them about my success thanks to my community college experience. It's a phenomenal opportunity that has been a life-changing event for me and my family.
I'm Lamar Williams and I'm a 2007 graduate of Johnston Community College.

Eastbound traffic on "O" Street remains shutdown near Gateway Mall. An accident at Lyncrest Drive and O Street just after 2 p.m. sent two people to Bryan West.
Lincoln police say a van driving east was hit by a car knocking it off the road.
"The driver was transported code 1, which means it's not life threatening at this point, but the passenger was transported code 3, which means it is life threatening," Sgt. Don Scheinost said.
Westbound lanes are open, however, police say eastbound O Street will remain closed through the rush hour.

NEWBURYPORT — The Newburyport Public Library will host a special program for 9- to 15-year-olds in conjunction with the Newburyport Stamp Club on Thursday, Oct. 10, from 3:15 to 5:15 p.m. in the children's activity room at the library.
The Stamp Club is a chapter of the American Philatelic Society. Its members have a wide variety of interests in stamp collecting to share with teens and 'tweens from the Newburyport area. Stamps provide a wonderful window into history, art, people, science, languages, world events and topics of all sorts. There are hundreds of thousands of stamp collectors all over the world and a bunch of very avid collectors living in this area.
There will be a number of exhibits, and everyone who attends will get some stamps for free. There will be some stamped envelopes from both sides of the Civil War and "first day of issue" stamps issued from ships at sea during the World War II. There will be sheets of unusual art stamps and famous women and men. The library will display some of its books about collecting stamps. There will be a number of catalogs on display and members of the club will show participants how to use them.
Neil Foley, president of the club, will provide a brief presentation on the history of stamps. Did you know, for example, that at least two local citizens have had stamps issued in their honor and that a Merrimac resident, Lance Hidy, has designed three U.S. stamps?
Everyone who attends will receive a free packet of stamps, and drawings will be held for stamp albums and stamp collecting accessories. Parents and other interested parties will also get packets of stamps and have the chance to interact with knowledgeable stamp collectors about the hobby.
Registration is not required, but is encouraged. Call 978-465-4428, ext. 235 to sign up.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. —
"We're going to leverage a good position we have from resale values to use that as an advantage," Fay said in a phone interview. "It allows us to offer very competitive monthly payments."
The ability to offer Camry at cheaper monthly rates is crucial as Toyota tries to stem declining demand for the car in the year's first half. Camry deliveries slipped 2.9 percent to 207,626, according to researcher Autodata Corp.
Competitors, including Ford, Honda and Nissan, are closing in on Camry, the top-selling car in the U.S. for the past 11 years. A 20 percent surge in Tokyo-based Honda's Accord deliveries during the first half cut its sales deficit to Camry by 65 percent from a year earlier, to less than 21,000.
The Altima, one of seven models that Yokohama, Japan-based Nissan lowered prices on beginning in May, has trimmed its shortfall to Camry by 30 percent, to about 40,000. And Ford has pared Camry's lead on its Fusion by 40 percent, to less than 47,000.
All four automakers probably will post increased July sales across their respective lineups. Ford may report a 17 percent gain, the average of nine estimates. Deliveries probably will rise 17 percent for Toyota, 16 percent for Honda and 13 percent for Nissan, each the average of seven estimates.
The analysts' average estimate for Honda sales is in line with the forecast John Mendel, the company's U.S. executive vice president, gave in a telephone interview. Deliveries will be up 16 percent to 18 percent for the Honda brand and 6 percent to 7 percent for Acura, he said.
Leasing is "a way to reach consumers that were risk-averse and hesitant to jump out there and buy a new car," Alec Gutierrez, an auto analyst with Kelley Blue Book, said in a telephone interview. The leasing rate for Camry rose to about one-fourth of sales in each month early in 2013, from 20 percent or less a year earlier, according to the Irvine, California- based researcher's data.

This month's book roundup includes new works by authors with varied North Carolina connections.
Thomas Healy grew up in Charlotte. Carrie Jane Knowles lives in Raleigh. And Sharyn McCrumb and John Milliken Thompson, who both make their homes in Virginia, have chosen North Carolina as the setting for new historical novels.
"The Great Dissent: How Oliver Wendell Holmes Changed His Mind – and Changed the History of Free Speech in America" (Metropolitan Books; $28). Healy recounts how U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes moved from defending the punishment of controversial speech to writing a dissenting opinion that "gave birth to the modern era of the First Amendment, in which the freedom to express oneself is our preeminent constitutional value and a defining national trait."
Before he became a Seton Hall law professor, Healy grew up in Charlotte, graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill and worked as a reporter at the News & Observer.
The New York Times says his book "deserves an honored place in the intellectual history of the Supreme Court."
"Ashoan's Rug," (Roundfire Books; $13.95). Knowles' new novel tells the story of a prayer rug that stretches over time and continents as it passes from owner to owner, inspiring and changing lives.
"King's Mountain" (Thomas Dunne; $25.99). Best-selling author McCrumb ("The Ballad of Tom Dooley") draws on research to bring to life North Carolina's most famous Revolutionary War battle. Historical characters populating the book include some of her own ancestors who fought in the battle.
"Love and Lament" (Other Press; $15.95). Thompson sets this family saga in Chatham County between the Civil War and World WarI.
"Thompson perfectly captures the Carolina Piedmont's sights, sounds, and flavors and convincingly depicts the turn-of-the-century South – haunted by the Civil War, and embracing old-time religion and new-fangled machinery and ideas," Publishers Weekly says.

The kids will certainly clean their plates if they get to help play "Grill Master."
- Print out all pages on regular paper or cardstock. Cut out both sides of the hat. Glue the tab on the right-side piece to the side without a tab on the left-side piece.
- Cut out the top part of the hat. Fold it in half towards you with the design on the inside. Follow the instructions on the paper to make the rest of the folds. It should look like an accordion.
- Take the now-folded top part of the hat and glue one end to the inside of one of the side pieces. Then glue the other side to the other side piece. Match the two ends of the side pieces and glue them in place.
- Cut out the stickers and let the kids decorate their new hat by gluing or taping them to it.

Landmark Musicals animates Independence Day with song and dance
It takes a special kind of nerd to appreciate the joy that is 1776. One must be equal parts musical-theater geek, history buff and lover of all things patently silly. If you're the type that gets a kick out of seeing the Founding Fathers dancing around in funny wigs and singing whimsical songs about the Declaration of Independence, 1776 is a great pleasure.

First Amendment
Abortion Clinics' Buffer Zones Affirmed by Federal Appeals Court
Posted Jan 11, 2013 1:10 PM CDT
By Mark Hansen
A federal appeals court has for the fourth time in 12 years affirmed a law creating buffer zones around Massachusetts abortion clinics.
The Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-0 ruling (PDF) Wednesday, said the law protects the rights of prospective patients and clinic employees without infringing on the First Amendment rights of anti-abortion protesters, the Boston Globe reports.
The law creates a 35-foot fixed buffer zone around the entrances, exits and driveways of abortion clinics. Its constitutionality had been challenged by seven people who regularly engage in anti-abortion protesting outside of the clinics.
The court has twice upheld an earlier version of the law, in 2001 and again in 2004. The current version of the law was previously upheld in 2009.
In Wednesday's ruling, the court said the right of the state to take reasonable steps to ensure the safe passage of persons wishing to enter health care facilities cannot seriously be questioned. It called the law "a content-neutral, narrowly tailored time-place-manner regulation that protects the rights of prospective patients and clinic employees without offending the First Amendment rights of others."
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, whose office defended the law, said in a statement that she is pleased the court has once again upheld the use of buffer zones around abortion clinics, which she said provide safe access to reproductive health care facilities while preserving freedom of expression.
But Mark L. Rienzi, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said he expected the ruling would be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"The same rules have to apply to all speakers," Rienzi said in a statement. "The government cannot put peaceful pro-life speakers in jail, but give Planned Parenthood free rein on the same sidewalk."

Why vintage is the new 'new'.
I recently tweeted that the most stylish kids of our generation are dressing like their parents used to. Although I faced a little bit of backlash (but when have I ever said anything that hasn't resulted in a bit of backlash…?), a lot of people actually agreed with me. What I wasn't able to compress into a couple of tweets is my internal debate about whether or not vintage shopping is getting easier.
My argument hinged around the fact that a ton of brands my parents used to like are now hugely popular with bloggers and other fashion conscious young people – my dad wore Doc Martens as a kid (c.f. my beautiful new ones at the top of this post), and has worn Gant and Ralph Lauren (both two of my 'go to' brands) shirts for years. My mum spent most of the '90s in Liberty print and maxi-dresses, both now making a huge comeback. So, in theory, all kids have to do to look great these days is raid their parents' wardrobes…right?
Not quite. Consider the difference between the following two statements – 'You look so '80s!' and 'Your clothes look like they're thirty years old.' It's pretty obvious which one sounds more favourable. When I wear one of my dad's favourite shirts I invariably look like…well, someone wearing their dad's old shirt. However, on finding similar shirts in charity shops and the like, it quickly becomes apparent that items have often been donated because the wearer found it at the back of their wardrobe and realised they never wear it.
It used to be that shopping for vintage clothes was incredibly difficult, because finding clothes in good condition was tough to do. Brands like Levi's, Gant and Abercrombie have totally changed this. By selling clothes that have already been weathered to look vintage, including everything from pre-ripped locker loops (pictured below) to sand washed and torn denim, secondhand shopping has the chance to truly hit the bigs again.
I had a quick word with the gents from a too, a specialist menswear retailer in Birmingham, about how menswear has changed in the last 15 years. This is what they told me – "Don't get too comfortable! It is amazing just how much men's fashion and the requirements of customers has changed over the years, something that we have had to constantly be aware of." They also intimated that most customers are now "looking for something that is a little bit special…they look for great details, fit and materials which set clothes a level up from the regular high-street offerings."
The guys also alluded to a point I made in a previous blog, namely that popular culture (everything from television shows to the internet) now has a huge impact of people, whether they're aware of it or not. "The rise of style-based blogs has also meant that people come in looking for a certain look, rather than wanting to get kitted with a particular brand, which is reflected in the brands that we now stock."
I was recently checking out some advertising from the 1950s and came across this old advert for Gant -
The advert struck me because it reminded me so much of the Mad Men look, which demonstrated another reason that vintage is so massive right now – as well as people wanting their clothes to have character and 'stories' to them (whether those stories truly belong to the garment's owner or not is another story…), current trends are very much based around picking and choosing stylistic devices from the last hundred years and mixing them together in a very postmodern way. And it goes without saying that a shirt made in the '50s will always look more legit than a shirt that's been made to look like it was made in the '50s.
So why are some brands already repro'ing stuff that looks just like what my parents used to wear? Well, there are two reasons. Firstly, they're putting an incredibly subtle (one far too subtle to explain here…) spin on things that make them similar enough to invoke nostalgia but different enough to make it look fresh and not like one of Pops' beaten up old shirts. Secondly, there are still men (and women, too) who are resilient to the idea of putting together a collection of vintage pieces because…well, to be frank, vintage shopping can take a lot of work. It's probably no coincidence that two of a too's best selling collections are Gitman Vintage and Gant Rugger.
But if you have a little time, there's not much you'll find in stores that you won't find in a vintage store.

hi @pcwriter,
small question re your plugin "Add All Nav Links to BP Adminbar" and few features of it.
- Hide or display the main theme navigation
- Enable or disable the addition of WordPress pages/menus
- Enable or disable the addition of Buddypress components
One feature is not in list, but maybe plugin still has it (?) :
- Hide or display Buddypress components in the main theme navigation
Idea is that at the moment you can add pages to adminbar and hide/leave them in navigation. But if you add components to adminbar, what is good, they disappear in navigation, what is bad.
is there any way to not to hide them in navigation manually (want them in both places)?

The kinds of stories the Galilean spirit/sage spins become sacred stories, but not because they have been canonized by any religious authority. Rather, they are extra-ordinarily spiritual tales because they are stories about the sacredness of the ordinary life as revealed to us by the one who taught with a different kind of inner authority. It's what makes ordinary life so undeniably, unavoidably, deeply, and essentially spiritual. And It is also why ordinary people are as reluctant to relinquish their claim to be "spiritual," in the most profound sense of the word; just as adamantly as they disavow being "religious," in the worst sense of that word.read more

Cycling is quickly becoming one of the biggest sports in the River City and athletes are reacting to Lance Armstrong's confession of using performance enhancing drugs.
Surprisingly many of them said they weren't angry with him, but it confirmed the hunch of some local cyclists.
"I kind of felt all along that he had been doing that," said Bryan Carpenter, a cyclist for four years.
"I'm happy that he actually came out and just said the truth," added Steven Harrell, another cyclist who also works at Conte's Bicycle & Fitness in Henrico.
Store owner, Charles Conte, called the confession a tragedy for the sport. He's followed Armstrong's career long before the world knew his name.
"It has a profound effect on our sport," he said. "The way people look at cycling, they've always looked at in a real pure way, now it has been entangled with an enormous amount of issues, and problems and it really devaluates our sport quite a bit."
Conte thinks this is just the beginning of the athlete's problems. It's the career path, he believes a younger generation will not follow.
"I think that people do not want to go through the problems that he's going through because it's always better to do it the right way," he said.
Other cyclists believe this lesson in cheating is something Armstrong should continue to talk about.
"Now that he's admitted to his problem that he now speak to the younger generation about it," said Harrell.
And while racing is pretty much over for Armstrong many local cyclists say the sport will keep pedaling forward. Big events like the UCI World Road Racing Championships in 2015 will be a good promotion for the sport and for Richmond.
"There [are] still purists out there," Carpenter said.
Cyclists say they will be watching the second half of that interview on Friday. It airs on the Oprah Winfrey Network at 9 p.m.

CHICAGO -- The slick 2010 glove work turned in by Alexei Ramirez ultimately was overlooked in the voting for the Rawlings Gold Glove, with the Yankees Derek Jeter being recognized once again in the American League.
It was impossible to bypass the White Sox shortstop's impact with the bat.
Ramirez earned his first Louisville Silver Slugger Award, with the announcements coming Thursday night. The 29-year-old veteran becomes the first White Sox middle infielder to receive such an honor and follows outfielder Carlos Quentin (2008) as recent team Silver Slugger winners. Ramirez also ended a stretch of four straight Silver Sluggers for Jeter, as voted on by managers and coaches.
• Postseason awards certain to stir debate
• Gold Glove: AL winners | NL winners
• Silver Slugger: AL and NL winners
• Rookie of the Year: AL winner: Feliz | NL winner: Posey
• Manager of the Year: AL winner: Gardenhire | NL winner: Black
• Cy Young : AL winner: Hernandez | NL winner: Halladay
• MVP: AL winner: Hamilton | NL winner: Votto
• VOTE NOW: This Year in Baseball Awards
Awards video | Complete Awards coverage
When focusing strictly on 2010 AL shortstops, Ramirez's numbers were virtually unmatched. He finished first at the position with his .282 average and 18 home runs, while checking in second with a .431 slugging percentage. Only Jhonny Peralta (81) and Yuniesky Betancourt (78) had more RBIs than Ramirez's 70, and the 165 hits amassed placed Ramirez behind Jeter (179) and Marco Scutaro (174).
All of these statistics were put together despite a third straight miserable April for Ramirez, a month during which he hit .221. With this award in hand, Ramirez now has a contractual decision to make.
Entering the final year of a four-year, $4.75 million deal, Ramirez can opt out of the $1.1 million he is set to earn and become arbitration-eligible. If Ramirez makes that move, as he is fully expected to do, the White Sox have the choice between exercising a $2.75 million club option for 2011 or going through the arbitration process. The White Sox would be expected to exercise the option.
Ramirez has until Dec 1 to opt out. The White Sox then have until Dec. 15 to make their decision.

Credit for Ramirez's development goes to White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, who has practiced tough love during some momentary lapses for possibly the most talented player on the roster but also has shown him the ultimate support and respect. Bench coach Joey Cora deserves praise for his tireless offseason and pregame work to help sharpen Ramirez's defense at shortstop.
Most of the credit for Ramirez's growth goes to Ramirez himself. With a little better luck at the season's start, one of baseball's best five-tool bargains could soon be talked about in Most Valuable Player consideration.
Detroit's Miguel Cabreara (1B), New York's Robinson Cano (2B), Boston's Adrian Beltre (3B), Toronto's Jose Bautista (OF), Tampa Bay's Carlo Crawford (OF), Texas' Josh Hamilton (OF), Minnesota's Joe Mauer (C) and Texas DH Vladimir Guerrero join Ramirez on the full list of AL Silver Sluggers.
Frank Thomas leads all White Sox players with four Silver Slugger honors (1991, '93, '94, 2000), followed by Carlton Fisk (1981, '85, '88). In total, White Sox players have won a total of 15 Silver Sluggers.

John Deere
Feb. 7, 1804
Rutland County
Vermont, USA
May 17, 1886
Rock Island County
Illinois, USA
19th Century American inventor and industrialist, best known for founding the yard, farm and earthmoving equipment company that bears his name. John Deere was born in Rutland, Vermont, on February 7, 1804, the third son of William Rinold Deere, a merchant tailor. In 1808, William sailed for England, in hopes of claiming an inheritance, but he was never heard from again, and is presumed lost at sea. Raised by his widowed mother on a meager income, John's education was limited to the primary schools of Vermont. He apprenticed himself to a blacksmith, and entered the trade in 1825. On January 28, 1827, he married Demarius Lamb. By 1836 the couple had four children, Demarius was pregnant with the fifth, and John was faced with bankruptcy. Deere sold his blacksmith shop to his father-in-law, left the proceeds of the sale with Demarius, and headed for Illinois frontier. He continued on to the newly settled village of Grand Detour, Illinois, on the edge of the frontier. There were no blacksmiths for forty miles, so Deere had work at once. On the Illinois frontier, the sticky, heavy prairie soil was proving difficult to work. Cast iron plows which worked fine in the light, sandy soils of the Northeast were ineffective. Plowing to break up the tough prairie sod was slow, hard work requiring the constant use of paddles to scrape the sticky soil off. Farmers came to Deere hoping that he could help them. John Deere was convinced that a steel plow that was highly polished and had a properly shaped moldboard could scour itself as it cut furrows. The first steel plow, made from a broken steel saw blade, was originated by John Lane of Joliet Illinois in 1833. In 1837, Deere added further improvements to Lane's idea when he fashioned his first moldboard plow, also made from broken steel saw blade. It was an immediate success. Deere's first plows used the saw blade steel for the share and smoothly ground wrought iron for the moldboard. Deere's first plow, finished in 1837, worked better than any previous plow. In 1838 he built two more plows, one of which was sold to Joseph Brieton, who farmed just south of Grand Detour. That very implement was later discovered and purchased by Charles Deere and is on display at the Smithsonian Institution. By 1841, Deere was producing 100 of his plows annually. In 1843, he entered a partnership with Leonard Andrus to produce more plows to meet increasing demand. By 1848, Deere dissolved his partnership with Andrus and moved the business to Moline, which offered advantages of water power, coal and rail transportation. In 1850, approximately 1600 plows were made, and the John Deere Company was soon producing other tools to complement its steel plow. In 1858, Deere transferred leadership of the company to his son, Charles, who served as its vice president. John Deere retained the title of president of the company, but now turned his attention to civic and political activities. John Deere was active in public life throughout his career in Moline. Among other roles, he was the second president of the National Bank of Moline, served as a director of the Moline Free Public Library, was an active member of the First Congregational Church and served as the city's mayor for two years. John Deere died on May 17, 1886, at his home in Moline. Today Deere and Co. is a leading maker of yard, farm and earthmoving equipment, with a market capitalization of nearly $17 billion on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Reach of War: A Day in the Life of the Syrian Conflict
In late 2013, MSF sent teams to MSF projects in Iraq, Lebanon, and Jordan on the same day to record the work we are doing with Syrians, to experience the situation through the eyes of staff members trying to provide desperately needed assistance. The goal was to chronicle "a day in the life" of this brutal, relentless conflict, to collect imagery and narratives that might foster a deeper understanding of the reach of this war. More at reachofwar.msf.org.
An overview of MSF's Syria programs, as excerpted from MSF-USA's 2012 Annual Report:
As conflict intensified and medical needs mushroomed in 2012, MSF continued to petition Syria's government for permission to provide impartial medical assistance on all sides of the conflict.
When its entreaties failed, MSF began working in opposition-held areas, setting up a 15-bed trauma surgery in Idlib that conducted 665 surgical procedures and provided emergency treatment to 2,230 patients; another hospital in Idlib—first in a cave, then on a converted farm—that treated more than 7,200 patients; and a third in Aleppo governorate that treats war-wounded patients and offers obstetric and other forms of emergency care, as well as basic health services, and where staff performed 70 surgical procedures each month.
As the year progressed, MSF expanded its activities to basic health care, vaccinations, and maternal care. In the Deir Ezzor area, MSF also helped patients with chronic illnesses whose treatment had been interrupted, and the organization donated tons of medicines and medical supplies to health facilities in Aleppo, Homs, Idlib, Hama, Deraa, and Damascus governorates. This included a large donation of medical supplies and relief items to the Syrian Arab Red Crescent in Damascus.
At year's end, MSF was still lobbying the government for official permission to work in the country. Teams in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey were also providing care to some of the hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees who had fled to those countries.
At the end of 2012, MSF had 123 staff working in Syria. MSF first began working in the country in 1999.
