To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that ll, CHARLES ERNEST YoUMANs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yonkers, county of Westchester, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful llmprovements in Attachnient-Plugs for Connecting Dry Cells to lncandescent-Lamp Holders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to devices such as attachment plugs which may be used for the purpose of connecting an ordinary dry cell to an incandescent lamp holder, such as the ordinary socket and receptacle. Where dry cells are used, as in motor boats, automo-` biles, private dwellings, factories, etc., it is y desirable to connect them to permanent connection devices which are capable of being wired together, and it is the purpose of this invention to provide a simple and inexpen sive connector or ada ter by means of which ordinary dry batteries, provided with the usual side zinc terminal and center carbon terminal, may be connected to ordinary incandescent lamp holders, such assockets and receptacles.
The above and other objects and the novel features of my invention will be apparent from the following description taken in connection with the drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the upper end of an ordinary dry cell to whichan attachment plug embodying my invention is connected, the attachment pluu being .tted in an electric lamp receptacle oil a well known ty e;
F ig. 2 1s a perspective view of part'ot a dry cell which shows the attachment plu mounted on the side zinc terminal instea of centrally on the battery, the attachment plug being fitted in another type otelectric amp receptacle; .Y
Fig. 3 is a central vertical sectional view of onelorin of attachment plug embodying my invention, showing the same in position in h dry cell, euch as 1s shown in Fig. 1;
llig, l is a central vertical cross sectional view oli another form of attachment plug tor use on dry cells in which the central carbon post projects from the top of the cell;
Fig. 5 is a plan view oi. an attachment lu P tt is a side elevation showing the conetruction oit the body of the pllg and Bi 7 is a `transverse sectional View on the line 7--7 .of llig.` d. v
Referring to the drawing, each plug com prises a body B, which'may be of porcelain kor other suitable molded insulating composition` and comprises a substantie lycylin drical part '10 joined to a bottorn Haring part 1l b a shoulder 12. The body B has a centra llt'ingitudinally extending bore which consists' of the parts 13 and'ld-of dit Y ferent diameters joined by the shoulder 15.
The part 14 of the bore terminates at its lower end in an enlarged recess 16 which opens lat the bottom face of the Haring part 11 of the body'lB.
The cylindrical part of the body B has a contact thereon in the form of a screw shell 17, the thread of which ts the usual threaded portion of an Edison incandescent lamp holder, which ma be in thel form of an ordinary lamp soc ret having a center lamp Contact and a threaded side lamp contact., The shell 17 is also adapted to ht Edison lamp receptac1es,`such as the receptacles X 'withan inwardly extending ange 18 fitting on the curved top 19 of the body B and the lower edge of the shell is turned or spun inwardly as at 2O beneath the shoulder 12, whereby the shell 17 is firmly held in place on the body B without special fastening de vices, The screw shell 17 has a terminal plate 21 longitudinally connected thereto. The upper end 22 of the terminal plate 21 extends into a groove 23 in the outer suriace of the cylindrical part 10 of the body B and may be permanently connected to the shell 17 by the solder 24. The plate 21 rests against the inclined part of the body B and extends laterally to the side of the body, the outer end of the plate being provided with a hole 25 which will fit either the upright binding post 26, which is connected to the zinc element of the cell, or the upright center binding post 27, which is connected to the carbon element of the cell. The plate 21 is exible and may be clamped in place on the binding posts 26 and 2-7 by means ot the usual thumb nuts 2d and 29.
lllli provided with a head 34 which forms the- The carbon binding post 27 is connected to the center contact of the lamp holder, when the attachment plug is inserted into the lamp holder, by means of the screw 32 and threaded sleeve 33. The upper end of the sleeve 33 abuts against the shoulder 15 in the central bore and is held against that shoulder by the screw 32, which is threaded on its inner en'd and has threaded engagement with the sleeve 33. The screw 32 is center contact of the plug and is adapted to engage the center contact of the lamp holder of the socket or receptacle. At its lower end theA sleeve 33 is threaded to engage the threads on the upright binding post 27 of the cell C. The plug may be attached to the binding post 27 by turning it thereon before the plate 21 of the plug is attached to the side zinc binding post. In attachingthe center contact of the plug to the zinc binding post the operation is practically the same. Thus the attachment plug is suitable for use in either Way; that is the center terminal thereof may be secured to either the zinc or the carbon element of the cell, as desired. `When the attachment plug is in position on the cell U, the plug may be inserted in the receptacle X or Y bv simply turning the cell and plug togetlier and screwing the plug into the receptacle. The plug will thus serve to suspend the cell from the lamp holder and electrically connect it to the contacts of the lamp holder. i,
Fig. 4 shows an attachment plug substantially similar to 'the plug shown in Figs, l to 3 except that in that construction the plug is provided with a U-shaped clip 36 to adapt the attachment plug for use with cells C in which the carbon element 37 projects above the top of the cell and is provided with a 'transverse binding screw 38 and clamping nut 39. rIhe clip 36 has the parallel portions thereof spaced apart so as to engage the opposite faces of the upper end of the carbon 37 and those portions are each provided with a hole to receive the binding screw 3S whereby the clip may be clamped to the carbon 37. The portion of the clip corresponding to the bottom of the U is provided with a hole 40, said hole being arranged so that the sleeve 33 mav be slipped therethrough. The lower end of the sleeve 33"has a flange 4l thereon which engages the inner side of the clip and supports the clip, the upper end of the clip being disposed within the cavity 16 in the bottom face of the body of the plug. The attachment plug is thereby supported centrally on the cell on the u per end of the carbon element 37 and the aterally extending conducting plate 21 may be secured to the side zinc binding post as in other form of cell. I
By means of the attaching plug shown, the, usual dry cells on the market having the center carbon binding post and side zinc binding post may be readily connected without necessity of changing or disconnecting any wires. Furthermore, the attaching plug may be used repeatedly and will fit any ordinary incandescent lamp holder having the usual threaded socket shell and center contact, although it is to be understood that the particular socket shell and center contact of the lamp holder may be varied and the connecting means on the plug adapted 'to them.
Certain changes may be made in the construction'of the attachment plug without departing from the spirit of the invention and therefore I do not wish to be limited to the exact details as shown and described.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
l. A device for attaching a dry cell to an incandescent lamp holder having a socket therein, said device comprising electrical contacts adapted to lit into the socket of said holder and to electrically connect the same to the terminals of said dry cell.

Natural Energy Boosters
The pace of modern society can create extreme demands on your life. Work, school and family obligations make it difficult to slow down and recharge your batteries. Natural energy boosters are a holistic way to meet the mental and physical challenges of an active lifestyle. If you need a healthy solution for your energy deficit, you should try Doxiderol. It contains a unique blend of natural ingredients that were specifically included for their energizing properties. Extensive clinical studies also demonstrate that these ingredients improve focus, memory and other cognitive functions.
Discovered in the early 20th century,
is a naturally occurring substance. The amino acid helps your body use fat as a source of energy. It transports fatty acids inside your cell's power processing unit, which is also known as the mitochondria.
For thousands of years, Ayurvedic practitioners have recommended bacopa for its ability to increase mental energy. According to studies, the herb accelerates the production of adenosine triphosphate, a molecule that provides cellular energy.
is also renowned for its ability to alleviate anxiety and depression.
Known for its energizing effects, caffeine resembles a chemical messenger that causes sedation. This enables caffeine to engage the chemical messenger's receptor sites and increase mental alertness.
provides energy by releasing sugar that is stored in your liver. It also increases the production of acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin. These chemical messengers enhance your sense of wellbeing, memory and concentration.
A Harvard magnetic resonance study investigated the effects of
on the brains of healthy volunteers. The neuroimaging revealed that citicoline improved brain energy and metabolism. Research also confirms that citicoline increases adenosine triphosphate, which provides the vast majority of cellular energy. Citicoline also supplies the body with the material that it needs to produce phosphatidylcholine, a substance found in every cell in the human body.
In addition to its unique cognitive enhancing properties,
was included in Doxiderol for its ability to moderate the excess stimulation that can occur from caffeine. Researchers who evaluate the two ingredients note that study participants experience a synergistic increase in cognitive performance.
Like the other natural energy boosters in Doxiderol,
increases your brain's production of adenosine triphosphate. A 2005 PET scan study demonstrated vinpocetine's ability to enhance cerebral circulation by mildly dilating blood vessels. This process increases the availability of oxygen and glucose, the brain's primary source of energy.

It has been nearly two months since Wilmington (Del.) Howard defensive end Devon Still told Blue White Illustrated that Penn State was at the top of his list. Since that time fans have speculated not who he was going to make a verbal commitment to, but when he would become a Nittany Lion.But Still has since remained fairly silent on his recruitment, and it appears some other schools have jumped into the mix for the 6-foot-5, 255-pounder."Recruitment-wise he's sitting on about 25 offers and they range from pretty much all over the country," said Howard head coach Dan Ritter. "Oklahoma, Iowa, Ohio State, up north to Boston College and UConn, down south to Georgia; we're kind of all over the place with offers." ...More...

The Cobb County School District says recent articles and editorials in the Marietta Daily Journal have misrepresented facts by suggesting that Superintendent Joseph Redden could have secured a better deal for Cobb's laptop computer initiative than it received from Apple. The newspaper reported that Henrico County, VA schools signed a lower-cost contract with Dell Computer to continue that school district's four-year-old laptop initiative. "The newspaper is wrong to suggest that Cobb County could have secured the same deal that Dell agreed to with Henrico. As the newspaper is fully aware, Dell is one of four vendors that did bid on Cobb's plan to provide laptops to teachers, upgrade middle school labs, and establish four high school pilot sites where the district will test the concept of issuing laptops to students. Dell's proposal for the four-year lease came in $3.6 million higher than Apple's."

Kaspersky Internet Security 2011
Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 : Bonus Tools Like the standalone antivirus, Kaspersky's suite includes a set of bonus tools. It can create a bootable rescue CD, scan and fix system vulnerabilities, and clean up various configuration errors and browsing traces.

Bottom Line
This suite's firewall is smart enough to do its job without hassling you, its parental control tops almost all the competition, and it offers some unusual and useful bonus tools. Its performance in my anti-malware tests didn't come up to the glowing ratings from independent labs, though.

All I can say is how????? How has this rotten stinky footed evil child molester been allowed to reproduce?????????? How?????????? Some person out there has literally gotten a boner and literally has sex with this woman. Like I can't even wrap my head around this. In China u get one chance and we gave this bitch like 10?????? America, u have failed me. And whoever the hell must have been passed out and raped and Had their sperm artificially incriminated into Cheri brooks, you have failed me too. (That's the only way my mind will accept she has ever gotten pregnant. The thought of someone willingly had sex with her is just too unbearable)
Vera Jo Reigle, Mentally Disabled Mom, Murdered By Cousin & 17-Year-Old Girl
|Daniel Bixler is accused of beating and stabbing his disabled cousin to death less than a month after he got out of prison
Vera began dating a boy five years ago when the kid was just 13. They would end up having a baby, who's now 17-months-old. But she was estranged from her mom, so she went to live with the boy's family.
Relatives suspect they took her in because of her monthly disability checks. The house was a filthy shithole. Social workers suspected they didn't own a vacuum to clean the carpets. A pig even lived in a closet and went to the bathroom inside the home.
Over the past two years, the cops had been called to the home at least 10 times over issues ranging from threats to child abuse to fighting and poor living conditions.
In January, police were called to the home by someone who claimed Vera was being held against her will. They found her cut, beaten and with a broken nose. But she would only say that someone had recently beaten her up, and provided few other details. She also said her living conditions were fine, and she liked staying there.
But things would only get worse when her cousin got out of prison in March. Daniel Bixler, 21, had been in the slam since 2008 for burglary, theft, and receiving stolen property. According to Vera's mom, people at the home were abusing Vera, but no one intervened or called the cops.
One night Bixler and a 17-year-old girl took Vera for a walk. When they arrived back home without her, they told others that Vera was hanging out with another man.
Later, at 2 a.m., train operators slowed after seeing a body on the tracks. Police arrived to find Vera beaten and stabbed to death with wounds across her entire body. (See her Facebook memorial page here.)
The murder wouldn't remain a secret for long. The 17-year-old girl told relatives about the savage killing, and that confession eventually made its way to the cops. Now both she and Bixler are charged with aggravated murder. The girl is still being charged in juvenile court. (Special thanks to reader Vicky for the tip.)

ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. U are soooooooo freaking disgusting bitch. And please stop living off my payroll bc u have a stinky rotten foot. It's unfair.
Unbelievable.How could people be that cruel?
I just watched Goodnight Sugar Babe, the Murder of Vera Jo Reigle. If anyone happens across this, you've GOT to watch it. Shit is unreal. I'm traumatized. And terrified that the authorities in that area of Ohio, are in their positions of power. "Sugar Babe" is a demon that should be destroyed.
wow what a sick twisted demented person Sugar babe you need more than a shower lmao you need a mental doctor if you ever thought you had a chance in having vera's beautiful daughter near you or your twisted family, you molested and had your children taken you sick bitch. if i was a vilent person you would be my first target may the devil burn your ass when you get to hell.
Anyone who writes their entire comment in upper case letters is a douchebag.
Many of the replies here are from people who are from Vera's hometown and are close to the case in different ways. We have been busting our asses to get justice for her and as of yesterday, Bixler has decided to go for the insanity defense. The 17 year old, now publicly identified as Nicole Peters, has been bound over to the Hancock County Court of Common Pleas and is being tried as an adult. Both Bixler and Peters are in jail on $1 million bonds. Four members of the Brooks family, whom Vera had been living with at the time have been indicted for obstruction of justice for lying to detectives about the event leading up to and following Vera's death. We will get justice for her and we are fighting every day. Please visit our web page on Facebook entitled "Voices for Vera." We have links with details surrounding the case and a Paypal option for donations to buy this poor girl a headstone.
the brooks family is all gulty of murder !! we want them charged !!
I was one of Vera's close friends and I know more about things than you do. When you said KILL HER, KILL HER did you still thinkg you were going to keep collecting her SSI check? You don't know as much as you think . It is a shame you feel the need to use handicapped peoples checks to live on when you have plenty of handicapped people in your own family that no doubt get checks of their own. How do you sleep at night after doing the things you and your family have done? You should have been drowned at birth before you could reproduce and contaminate the earth with your sick and evil selves.
no matter how much you protest everyone knows you are guilty. You may not have held the knife because you are too fat and lazy but you are just as guilty as Bixler and Peters because you didnt call the police.
Are you suggesting that you are going to file harrassment charges on people who reply to you here online? If so, ahahaha@ that. There is not a District Attorney on earth who would waste the time with that, considering you coorespond with people just as much as they do with you and it isn't like you're exactly "friendly".
We have something wonderfull here in America, it's called The First Ammendment. You CAN NOT censor people voicing their opinions online nor can you if they call you names and insult you either.
@cindi She is even more guilty than that............She was the one who wanted them to kill her she is an inbred heartless child molesting pos scum of the earth hate breeding shit bag .
R.I.P Vera I hear when Zack went to hold the baby at the adoption agency the baby cried and whaled and wouldn't let him touch her so they cut the meeting after just 10 minutes the kid wouldn't stop screaming until he left the room . Talk about sticking up for her mommy!!!
Watch the documentary These people are inbred scum of the earth
cindy keep i t up bitch ur not god leave ur mouth of my family and stay up out our buisness and stay up out of my granddaughters and sons life too u cum guzzlin no good trash pickin asshole slut u were not there bitch so fuck off
Hell should be fitting for these cold-hearted murderer's. To make a special needs individual your victim only shows the true nature of their evil minds.
@SUGARBABE... the only reason you want people to shut their mouths and stay out of this is because you know what they are saying is TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ SUGARBABE.... the only reason you want people to stay out of this and shut their mouths is because you know what they are saying is TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's in a better place now.
I love hearing how sooooo many people knew this girl was in danger, but no one did anything about it. More of the pussification of America by people who simply lack the intestinal fortitude to do the right thing. Your fucking daughter, sister, aunt, etc...is being abused in every way possible and all you offer are a bunch of fucking excuses for not intervening?
Human beings make me want to fucking puke sometimes. I wonder how people that are so lacking in courage live with themselves?
@Kris33 100% correct they should all be charged for child endangerment child abuse
wow this is some shit
I hope Bixler get fucked!
I think that laws should be made that would hand down much harsher punishments for those who brutalize and murder those who are mentally and/or physically challenged. How about an automatic death sentence? That sounds about right.
People who do these terrible things to challenged people do them because they feel that they can get away with it because that person doesn't have the mental capacity to do anything about it. For people like that, we should make an amendment to the Constitution that allows cruel and unusual punishment for these types of crimes.
BTW: Happy Belated Zombie Jesus day to all of my TCR Peoples. I hope that you all enjoyed time with your families!
@Carl Miller I agree all except the arena part ....just kill with a bullet and get it over with
im for automatic death sentance on these kind of crimes but lets also increse it to those who rape children and here is another suggestion insted of just death right away we build a arinia and make them fight until there dead other convicted criminals
My Dearest Pete,
Disqus fucking sucks the hugest, finest donkey balls this morning.
All my love, Leah
this poor woman..i cannot even imagine..why did this guy who just got out of jail do this to her..not that there is a reason..i just can't understand why people do this shit
ok this ticks me off there are places and people out there that are supposed to be protecting the mentaly disabled yet no one did nothing in this game how messed up is that
as for the two charge i hope thay get life in jail and are beaten every day
This is so sad and depressing, I'm just glad that her child is okay. There are so many people who need to answer for this girls miserable life, and horrific death.
Hope she finds peace in death that she never had in her life.
Okay, so I just googled this. News reports say that Child Protective has removed the child from the home. Thankfully. She is in foster care right now and Vera's mother is attempting to get custody of her. Judging by the fathers family and home, Vera's mother stands a good chance at winning.
We must carry on. Who wants to split of cost of a pizza?
Let's just ignore Whoopiisobese. Responding to the bullshit only fuels the fire.
It breaks my heart that somebody can go through life like that. poor girl. And why the fuck didn't her mother intervene when they suspected she was being abused?
Pete, any way you can replace this pic of her with the FB pic?? IDK why but this one looks creepy. The FB pic is sweet with her smiling and her baby.
I was going to say, it is perish, not parish..though an interesting slip. Looks like there is a troll round here, as they say, wonder what the toll is. This girl had a bad life and worse death. I hope her child will be taken care of by someone who loves her. Reminds me of another case in the Midwest I think, where a disabled girl was tortured and killed by a group of people, had words carved into her and all...I"d have to look it up.
The weak shall not inherit the earth. The weak and meek will suffer the wrath of the strong. How would that be for a t-shirt slogan
Same goes for any old person who requires diapering. Leave the village to forage and fend for yourself. Your time has come to an end. Same thing for blind people who require assistance. Has anyone seen the size of whoopi recently. Christ almighty she is as big as a house.
We can no longer afford to care for people who are otherwise incapable of caring for themselves. This is a hard pill for some to swallow. Fend for yourself or leave the village to parish. Harsh statement to make but someone has to say it. If you have a fetus that has the tell tale signs of downs then the fetus should be terminated. ETC. ETC. Enough is enough. If you can not produce then parish. Im going to have t-shirts made up that state that. PRODUCE OR PARISH
Please tell me her baby is somewhere safe, at least.
What is this creeps motive? Just a sicko that snapped? and the 17 year old girl, whats her deal in all of this? Has anyone heard any theories on any of this?
Its so horrible, this poor girl, she didnt deserve to have her life cut short or her child grow up without a mother, but she now is in peace and will never be hurt again, with eternity to make up for her crap time here on earth.
This is truly sad, I can only hope these two will be dealt the justice this poor woman deserves. :sighs:
Wow that is jsut so sad. So sad indeed.
are you kidding me whoop??? If you went to the site they provided on face book you would see just exactly how she was found and i promise you not even a piece of shit insensitive asshole like yourself could imagine just how bad it was...they took advantage of her...beat her,did things not even YOU could imagine...and convinced her that her daughter would be in danger if she left...so before you go on judging and assuming about something you didnt know about...you might want to rethink your statements because NO it was NOT a please kill me situation...thats so rediculous to even say on here...
A little off topic but I am surprised the train stopped. Glad it did, otherwise she might never have been found, but that is very unusual.
What a fucking family. Mine is dysfunctional as hell, but they aren't that damn disgusting and lowlifers.
Maybe this was a mercy killing. When people are unable to care for themselves its my opinion that as a progressive society you should put them to death. Its the only human thing to do. Less burden on us. Same for the elderly. &0 years of age and then to the hangmens noose they go.

|Thomas Sowell.
|More information:
Migrations and Cultures shows the persistence of cultural traits in particular racial and ethnic groups and the role these groups' relocations play in redistributing skills, knowledge, and other forms of "human capital" from where they originated to the four corners of the earth. Each ethnic group has carried forth a particular set of skills, attitudes, and lifestyles, whether settling in Russia, Brazil, Australia, or the United States. What are the effects of disseminating these patterns - both for the immigrants and for the host countries, in social as well as economic terms? Migrations and Cultures places the sagas of particular immigrant groups within the larger history of the nations sending and receiving these groups. The book also tells the story of the resentments engendered by the achievements of immigrant groups, even though these achievements have played a major role in the advancement of the human race in general. Whether considering the Germans, Japanese, Italians, Chinese, Indians, or Jews, Thomas Sowell brings context, insight, and reason to an inflamed debate that threatens to dissolve the social fabric of our country.

Assistant Chief Ricky Taylor said the effort to extinguish the blaze in a one-story house Thursday night was going routinely until one of the crews noticed a firefighter was down. He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The nature of his injury wasn't immediately known.
A second firefighter was later taken to a hospital with minor face and neck burns.
The cause of the fire is being investigated.

Pertussis tests are used to detect and diagnose a Bordetella pertussis infection. Early diagnosis and treatment may lessen the severity of symptoms and help limit spread of the disease.
There are several tests that may be used when a pertussis infection is suspected:
Other tests that may occasionally be ordered include:
Typically, a pertussis culture and PCR test will both be ordered, as early in the illness as possible. Cultures are less likely to grow the organism 2 to 3 weeks into the illness and will be affected by some antimicrobial agents if the person has been treated.
Since the introduction of PCR testing, the use of DFA testing has significantly decreased. When used, it should be ordered along with a pertussis culture to recover the organism in order to investigate potential outbreaks and perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
Pertussis antibody testing is not used frequently. It is ordered to help determine if a person has had a recent pertussis infection. Pertussis IgG antibodies will be present in anyone who has been vaccinated. Pertussis IgM and IgA antibodies will usually only be present a short time after vaccination or infection. These tests may sometimes be ordered to help evaluate and study the spread of pertussis in the community. Rarely, an antibody test may be performed to evaluate the adequacy of a person's immune response to a pertussis vaccine.
^ Back to top
Pertussis tests are ordered when a doctor suspects that a person has a Bordetella pertussis infection. A pertussis culture and PCR are performed when someone has symptoms suggestive of pertussis, and as early in the illness as possible (generally within the first 3 weeks).
Symptoms during the first stage of the infection, called the catarrhal stage, may include typical cold symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, mild cough, and/or a low-grade fever. After about 2 weeks, the paroxysmal stage begins and may include symptoms such as:
These symptoms may last for one or two weeks or persist for a couple of months. During the convalescent stage, the severity of symptoms lessens, with the frequency of coughing gradually decreasing over the next several weeks.
Antibody testing is generally more useful than culture or PCR for detecting an infection later in its course. A single blood sample can be collected 2 to 8 weeks after the start of symptoms, when the level of antibody in the blood is highest. Acute and convalescent samples, collected several weeks apart, are sometimes ordered on a person who has not sought treatment until late in their illness or on an adult who has had a cough for an extended period of time.
A positive culture is diagnostic for a B. pertussis infection, but a negative culture does not rule it out. Culture results are dependent on proper specimen collection and transport, duration of symptoms, when the sample is collected, and prior antimicrobial therapy administered before the culture is taken.
A positive PCR test means that it is likely that the person has pertussis. However, the PCR test may also be positive with other Bordetella species. A negative PCR test means that it is less likely that the person has pertussis but does not rule it out. If there are an insufficient number of organisms in the sample, then they may not be detected. Both culture and PCR tests are less likely to be positive as the illness progresses.
The direct fluorescent antibody test is not as sensitive or specific as other methods. If it is positive, then the person may have pertussis, but this should be confirmed with a culture. A negative direct fluorescent antibody test does not rule out pertussis.
The presence of IgG B. pertussis antibodies may be seen with a recent infection and also after vaccination. A rise in the quantity of IgG B. pertussis antibodies between the acute and convalescent samples and the presence of IgM and IgA antibodies are evidence of a recent pertussis infection.
The pertussis vaccination is given to infants as a series of shots. Those children who have not completed the series of pertussis vaccinations are at a higher risk of becoming infected. Even some people who have been vaccinated may be infected by Bordetella pertussis, but they will tend to have a less severe illness.
Pertussis is treated with antibiotics, which will help to resolve the infection and help stop spread of the disease.
International travelers should be aware that many less developed countries do not have widespread vaccination for pertussis. Infants who have not completed their series of vaccinations and people who have not had a booster vaccination in many years may be at an increased risk of contracting pertussis.

Mesa Community College invites the public to explore the amazing Universe in our state-of-the-art Planetarium! Our Astronomy Nights are the first Friday of the month during the Spring and Fall semesters. Planetarium shows run from 6:00-10:00 PM, typically every 30 minutes.
To celebrate the last lunar eclipse of 2015, we will be hosting an Eclipse Viewing Party on Sunday, September 27th outside the Planetarium at MCC beginning at 6pm and viewing until 9pm.
The Moon will rise at 6:15pm and will already be in partial eclipse at that time. Gradually, more and more of the Moon surface will be shaded by the Earth's shadow until the Moon is in Total Eclipse at 7:11pm. This lasts until 8:23pm with the maximum eclipse occurring at 7:47pm.
During this period, the Moon will begin to appear red. As the eclipse is a dynamic event, we will continue viewing throughout the event without hosting a Planetarium show. However, we will have telescopes for viewing the surface of the Moon and other bright sky objects.
Astronomers will be on hand to answer questions and demonstrate how eclipses work. The next major eclipse event visible from Phoenix is not until August of 2017, so please join us for this fairly rare opportunity!
The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is scheduled to launch in 2016 and will analyze and return a sample of asteroid 101955 Bennu to Earth for further study.
101955 Bennu is a near Earth object. Starting September 2016 up until 2018, OSIRIS-REx will travel closer to Bennu and begin mapping it's surface and ultimately extend a robotic arm to collect samples that could better explain our solar system's formation and how life began.
Follow this mission at http://www.asteroidmission.org/
The Rosetta spacecraft along with its lander Philae, is analyzing the comet 67P/C-G in detail. On November 12 2014, Philae was able to successfully land on a comet making it the first successful comet landing.
The mission continues to send back images and data from both the surface and the orbit of the comet. This spacecraft marks one of the first attempts to study a comet up close.
For news and information about this mission, visit the official website at http://rosetta.esa.int/
Please note that tickets are first come first serve only to reserve a spot and you could participate in other activities while you wait.
During Astronomy Nights, we also offer telescope viewing of the Moon, planets, and other celestial sights. Unlike the planetarium shows, telescope viewing will only occur if the skies are clear. The line starts 10 minutes before show time.
The planetarium is wheelchair accessible.
Groups of 25 or more are encouraged to click on the "Schedule a Private Visit" button on the left side of this page to schedule a custom show at the Planetarium.
Astronomy Nights are held at the Physical Science Building (PS 15) just east of Dobson Road, two traffic lights south of Southern Avenue. Please see the map for our location on MCC's Southern & Dobson campus.
The Planetarium is located on the south side of the Physical Science Building and is labeled with "PLANETARIUM" in large black letters which are visible from Dobson Road and the MCC driveway leading from Dobson Road.
Free parking is available in the lots south of the Physical Science Building. Please avoid parking in the spaces marked "EMPLOYEES" until after 6:00 PM.

I was thrilled to discover these teaching DVDs. Perhaps I didn't read the instructions well enough, but I couldn't figure out how to move through the material. I finally did, but it took a few attempts. For $140, I guess I was expecting something more... I don't know, just more. Having said that, I have no doubt my husband and I will learn a great deal. He will also be leading the members of our church through it as it really is designed for a "small group" or Bible study scenario.

The Hot 10 Spring Roundup
Our best picks from the 2013 Sun 'n Fun international fly-in
Clarity SV ADS-B
Cute as a biscuit, Sagetech's Clarity and Clarity SV (Synthetic Vision-capable) ADS-B receivers are little powerhouses of data-crunching traffic awareness. The units receive signals from aircraft carrying ADS-B Out Transponders, then deliver the data to an iPad via Wi-Fi link, where iOS apps display the whereabouts of nearby broadcasting aircraft—in other words, air-to-air traffic display.
It's all part of the coming-on-line NextGen traffic awareness network, which began implementation in 2009. ADS-B Out is mandated for all aircraft flying in certain designated airspaces by 2020, other than those without electrical systems, gliders, balloons, etc.
ADS-B Out devices transmit precise location to ground stations and all aircraft equipped with ADS-B receivers.
The Clarity ADS-B Receiver communicates with Synthetic Vision software such as Wing-X Pro, Mountain Scope, iPad EFB and Xtreme Vision 3D, which then plot the aircraft on a GPS moving map to show you location, altitude, direction of flight and other readouts.
Clarity SV includes a high-precision WAAS GPS receiver, internal six- to eight-hour battery and inflight FIS-B (weather radar, forecasts, NOTAMS, etc.)—and it does not require subscription fees.
Luke Skywalker, you won't need to count on the Force with these gadgets.
Prices: Clarity, $1,150; Clarity SV, $1,400. Contact: www.sagetechcorp.com.
With Florida doing its bit this spring to simulate full summer heat, the FlyCool display was a busy place. Four light-sport aircraft—a CorbiAir Alto 100, Flight Design CTLS, Tecnam LSA and Czech Sport Aircraft SportCruiser—and FlyCool installations on field, with lots of appreciative pilots checking out the installations.
The compact, 10,000 BTU/hour-capacity unit puts out a refridge vibe equivalent to what a car air-conditioner can do. It's intended for the LSA and experimental-built aircraft market and is designed specifically for airborne applications.
Each FlyCool system is tailored to the specific aircraft it will live in, since LSA in particular tend to have small and diversely located baggage spaces. Compressors are electric powered and hermetically sealed. Aluminum core heat exchangers (rather than copper) make for lighter weight. Brushless DC motors drive the innards, for long life and no interference to flight instruments.
Electric-powered operation (from an additional engine alternator) was chosen over belt-drive in part to allow cooling of the cockpit on hot days while pilots are doing preflights before engine start. Installation, maintenance and repair are also easier, and maximum engine power for takeoffs and big climbs isn't compromised. Also, compressors can be installed away from the hot firewall-forward environment.
Price: $12,000-15,000 depending on complexity of installation. Contact: www.amt-aero.com.

If you think Button Cove Lane sounds like it should be in Hingham, you would be making an honest mistake. Button Cove Road is in Hingham. Button Cove Lane exists in the world imagined by children's book author Susan Murphy Capobianco, whose new book Buttons the Bunny of Button Cove Lane came out on last week. "I don't come right out and say it," Capobianco said, "but Buttons is a Hingham bunny."
Children's books indirectly brought Capobianco into Hingham for the first time, 12 years ago. Her mother lived in town, and arranged for Capobianco's children to get tickets to see Marc Brown reading at Town Hall. "My husband and I sat right here in Brewed Awakenings, looked out the window, and it was like a snowglobe. We decided we loved this place."
Capobianco was not writing then, but storytelling was a familiar part of her life. She often told stories and drew pictures for her younger sister. Then, when she had children, she left behind a job as a legal secretary, and made up stories for them. Her children are now grown, and both are pursuing careers in education. Her daughter is teaching special education at Cardinal Cushing in Hanover, and her son is studying physical education. Their majors didn't influence her writing, she said, but they've been enthusiastic supporters. "They've been extremely surprised and excited. They're thrilled I've done this." She noted, too, that for some of her daughter's students, "Buttons" is just the right speed.
She came up with the idea for Buttons five years ago while walking along Seal Cove Road. "I just heard the first four lines in my head."
When she had all the illustrations done, she looked around for a publisher and found Mascot Books, which self-published Buttons in a high-quality hardcover.
Buttons' story is a gentle one. Buttons goes out in his kayak with his cousin to visit relatives who live on harbor islands. On the way back, a storm comes up, and two harbor seals help Buttons back to shore where he gets to be "warm, cozy, and dry" and eat a few cranberry cookies.
Capobianco intended the gentleness. "I want to help children, so there's nothing scary. It's for reading before you go to bed, so you can take good, calming thoughts with you." The book ends with, "Happy dreams, everyone …" What's more, when Buttons rows back through the storm, even though the text talks about the wind howling, the sky barely darkens in the illustrations.
This book introduces Buttons' family, as Capobianco has 10 stories written in the "Buttons" series. They include books where Buttons the Bunny has a babysitter come over, goes apple picking, explores Grape Island, and celebrates Thanksgiving.
Page 2 of 2 - "It takes me a long time to do the drawings, but the stories come pretty quickly."
Because her primary goal for writing was to help children, Capobianco has arranged for the proceeds from all her sales to go to the Pediatric Emergency Department of the South Shore Hospital. She will have a book signing at the Hingham Historical Society on Dec. 7th at 11 a.m., again with all proceeds going to the South Shore Hospital.
"Everyone has a really nice soft side, and I'm seeing that coming out when I talk about this project," Capobianco said.
The book is available on amazon.com and will shortly be available at Hingham Public Library. "It's in cataloging now," said Anna Byrne, Children's Librarian. "We usually support local authors, and the book is cute. Kids around here will like it because of the water. It's such a big part of kids' lives here. Plus the illustrations are adorable."
"I hope this little bunny does big things," Capobianco said.
