For going on five years, I have been baking and sending care packages to our American soldiers through the Treat the Troops Web site. I can't think of a better volunteer project for me—Somebody's Mom—than to bake and ship to our American soldiers.
Working full time during the day, sometimes I bake on the weekends or after work during the week. The next day I put together the care packages by carefully wrapping the cookies in stages with small baggies and bubble wrap and then boxing them to get to the post office the same day for shipping. Soldiers deserve to get the cookies as fresh as possible, so shipping immediately is very important.
Well if you bake like I do, you know how many cookies you will get in one batch: two or three dozen cookies. Try sending that for a request from a group of 10 soldiers. So, I have to double or triple recipes to get large quantities to ship.
To switch things up, I like to send baked mini-banana breads, sour cream coffee cakes and these star-shaped peanut butter surprise brownies. They are larger than cookies and are a huge hit with the soldiers. They love them! Some of the letters e-mails and photos I received are testimonials to that fact.
As much as the soldiers love getting my packages, I love sending them. It is hard work for me at times, but so is anything worthwhile.
Let me ask you: "What is more worthwhile than supporting our troops?"
Peanut Butter Brownie Surprise
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures
- Follow the directions on the brownie box for cake-like brownies (usually just add an extra egg to the mix). Personally, for baking brownies, I sustitute the water ingredient with cooled brewed coffee and the oil ingredient with melted butter.
- Add the chocolate chips and stir until blended in. Fill halfway either cupcake liners in an aluminum cupcake pan or small aluminum-shaped pans.
- After filling cupcakes liners or mini pans, count how many you have. Unwrap the same number of individual of the miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and set aside in a bowl.
- Bake the brownies for 10 minutes according to the temperature listed on the box. Open oven and place one unwrapped peanut butter cup into the center of each brownie. With a butter knife, push the peanut butter cup down until it is covered by the brownie batter. Continue baking brownies for 10 to 12 more minutes. Test brownie with toothpick for doneness. Remove from oven and cool completely.
- Enjoy—A brownie without a peanut butter surprise is like a day without sunshine!

Bradenton, Fla. - The Florida State League Scholarship Committee has awarded twelve $1,500 educational scholarships to applicants from each team in the League. The Bradenton Marauders are proud to announce that Katie DiGirolamo has been selected as a scholarship recipient.
The scholarship winners will be guests of the Miami Marlins in pre-game ceremonies on Sunday, August 18 at 1:10 PM.
The Committee awarded the scholarships after a review of the applications submitted by each applicant. The award is based both on financial need and grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Students eligible for this award must be an employee of, or the child or grandchild of an employee of the participating club and must be at least a high school junior by the 2013 Fall Term.
The scholarship will aid DiGirolamo during her senior year at Stetson University, where she majors in General Business Administration with a minor in Sport Business. After completing her degree she hopes to work in the front office of a professional sports team or within a collegiate athletic department. DiGirolamo competes on Stetson's Sand Volleyball Team and was named to the Atlantic Sun Academic All-Conference Team this year. DiGirolamo has worked for the Marauders for three seasons, most recently as a Sales and Marketing Intern.
The Miami Marlins have sponsored this program for fourteen (14) years and have contributed a total of $136, 500. Florida State League President Chuck Murphy stated "This program is one of the best things we do in the League and I congratulate the Directors and General Managers on their dedication and enthusiasm in administering this program." The purpose of the program is to send a message that an education is key to success in life.

This week, the Senate has turned its attention to the extension of the home buyer tax tax credit which expires on December 1 unless extended. Members of the Senate have said they have substantially reached an agreement on extending the credit, and plan to add it to a bill that would extend expiring unemployment benefits. The amendment would extend the existing $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers and offer a new $6,500 credit for existing homeowners who have lived in their current residence for a consecutive five-year period within the past eight years. Once the Senate has adopted the extension, the House is expected to take up and pass the Senate language. The White House also came out this week in support of the extension. MHI has expressed its support for extension of the homebuyer tax credit to key members of both the House and the Senate, as well as to the White House.

Workshop: Encrypting hard disks with DM-Crypt and LUKS
Encrypting a home directory is easy. Encrypting your whole hard disk – including the root filesystem – takes a little more effort.
Encrypting individual filesystems is no big deal; in fact, some distributions allow you to encrypt directories as part of the installation routine. But encrypting the home directory on your laptop is a job half done. Dishonest finders can still draw conclusions from log and configuration files. If you're serious about providing security through encryption, you need to protect the whole hard disk against spying – something that no distribution can do out of the box. Things start to become more complex if you need to protect the root filesystem. Neither Suse nor Debian Linux give users a tool to help encrypt the root filesystem during the install (or later). That means you'll need to roll up your shirt sleeves for some hands-on configuration

Spicebird 0.4: Thunderbird Alternative with RSS, Chat and Portal
Indian software developer Synovel released the latest 0.4 version of its groupware client, Spicebird, just a few days ago.
Spicebird is based on the Open Source mailer Mozilla Thunderbird, but adds much functionality to the basic product. Users who deploy Thunderbird with the Sunbird calendar plugin, will find that Spicebird is an interesting alternative that comes with its own RSS newsreader and an instant messaging module, and presents its features on a clear-cut and configurable portal page.
However, the software fails to provide some of the typical features that users expect of a groupware client: just like with Sunbird, Spicebird can only use local, Caldav server and ICS files on the network as data sources for calendars, and it still lacks connectors to groupware servers. According to the vendor's roadmap, the open source tool will have an Exchange connector by version 1.0. Just like most programs from the Mozilla family, Spicebird is also available for Windows and Linux.
The Mozilla Foundation caused a stir last fall when it announced that the Thunderbird mailer would be outsourced from Mozilla Corporation (as Linux Magazine reported). Many developers threatened to ditch the project – and it looks like some of them have landed at Spicebird.

The School Counseling and School Counseling with Bilingual Extension Programs have been developed as 48 credits Master of Science in Education programs that meet the academic requirements for New York State permanent certification. In both cases permanent certification also requires two years of full-time paid employment as a school counselor. Under current law both programs provide opportunities for students to obtain provisional New York State certification upon completion of 30 credits of specified coursework that includes the appropriate practicum. Students interested in school counseling certification in areas outside of New York State should investigate the certification requirements on the particular state's website or through the American School Counselor Association. Both programs can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis, and all classes are currently offered in the late afternoon or early evening.
MissionIn addition to supporting the University and Counselor Education Program's vision and mission, the School / School Counseling with Bilingual Extension Programs educate individuals who will specifically work in K – 12 school systems to address the academic, career, and social-emotional needs of all students.

It is with much anticipation that I look forward to reading The Spencer Magnet every week when it is delivered to our home. Unfortunately, this week's edition was a cause for much concern on my part. The headline of the paper was naturally an eye-catcher, but reading the entire article about the actions of a sex offender who resides in Spencer County was enough to turn one's stomach.
The fifth Annual 97.5 WAMZ St. Jude Charity Softball Game at Ray Jewell Park in Taylorsville was Saturday, Aug. 11. After a great effort by the Shelburne team, the WAMZ Country Hamz came out with the win 33-29. The team raised a season high total of $4,295 this year, which makes our five-year total over $10,000 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Special thanks to so many who contributed in different ways to help make the St. Jude Charity Softball Game a huge success.
To the property owners in the Spencer County Kentucky Levee, Flood Control and Drainage District No. 1, this is a an appeal for help. I am, at this time, working to prevent our floodwall from receiving an unacceptable rating. Please call 502-817-3990 with questions and offers of help. Tell your fellow property owner to call. They may not see this request.
Robert Smith Floodwall Commissioner Taylorsville
In my lifetime, I have served on many local, state, national and even international boards. With that experience, I would like to share a little insight that should bring a falsehood to an abrupt halt. There are those who think our current Fiscal Court members do not like each other or that we do not get along. During all my years of experience, I have never worked with a group of individuals who are more compassionate about doing the right thing for their constituents than our current Fiscal Court members.
The editorial published July 11, with no author listed, seems to be lacking in complete fair and impartial journalism. The quote "While we applaud the judge for trying to keep the court on task and to stop those who wish to publicly berate and belittle our public officials..." Are you joking with the readers? Bill Karrer has called the Taylorsville mayor's actions stupid and referred to specific taxpayers and officials as cowards, terrorists, bullies, etc., and The Spencer Magnet gives Karrer a free pass.
Intimidation can be a powerful weapon. Tyrants and terrorists have long-employed intimidation in their arsenal to not only keep subjects and opponents in line, but to silence even the smallest hint of resistance.
While flipping through my town paper and enjoying the stories about the county fair and advice on students returning to school, I then came across a little piece about the apocalypse. Nope, not those loony people who believe in the Mayan Calender or Y2K survivalist, but some man who goes with the old fire and brimstone approach that (somehow?!?) the Supreme Court ruling on the health care law will bring about the end of days.
Those of you who are elected officials of Taylorsville have been chosen to represent us, the citizens of Taylorsville. We are counting on you to be a voice for us concerning all issues that may affect us.
Form letters not allowed? Mitch McConnell's reaction to Obamacare is a form letter. It is the Republican Party rhetoric or speaking points. Mitch McConnell's statement "common-sense," step-by-step reforms, is the RNC's speaking points. The only problem they can't figure out is which foot to take the first step with. In other words, they have no plan. As far as tax hikes, the taxes under the Obama Administration are the lowest in 30 years.

CERN director Rolf Heuer backs discovery of 'God particle'
Aug 31, 10:22 am
London, August 31 (ANI): Professor Rolf Heuer, the scientists who heads the world's largest particle physics laboratory, has said that he thinks it is "beyond any doubt" that a Higgs Boson particle has been discovered.
London, August 29 (ANI): Thrilled with the result of the decades-long search for the Higgs Boson, a student from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, has composed a acapella 'Rolling in the Higgs'- a parody of 'Rolling in The Deep' by soul singer Adele.
London, August 2 (ANI): Higgs Boson, the particle that has been the subject of a decades-long hunt as the last missing piece of physics' Standard Model and whose discovery was announced on 4th July, looks significantly more certain to exist.
Dark matter detector `may lead to breakthroughs on God particle`

Melbourne, July 15 (ANI): When the world's most sensitive dark matter detector starts collecting data later this year, it could lead to another breakthrough in studies of the universe, on the scale of the recent celebration over the so-called "God particle", scientists say.
God particle 'may not have been found'
Jul 11, 10:01 am
Melbourne, July 11 (ANI): Barely a week after scientists from the world's most expensive experiment announced what they claim was the discovery of the Higgs Boson, a group of doubting scientists has claimed that it was not the "God particle" but just a naughty little anomaly.

Modern and Contemporary Art Dances at the Spring 1912 Francis Picabia, French, 1879 - 1953 Oil on canvas Currently not on view 1950-134-155 The Louise and Walter Arensberg Collection, 1950 |
LabelThe wealthy French-Cuban artist Francis Picabia helped to fund the 1912 Salon de la Section d'Or exhibition, which included thirteen of his paintings, including Dances at the Spring, a work he had completed the spring of that year. The artist took as his inspiration a peasant dance he saw while on his honeymoon in the rugged Italian countryside near Naples. The vivid colors and swirling motion of the two dancing girls, which Picabia fragmented into a dense patchwork of angular planes and faceted forms to create an effect of kaleidoscopic movement, brilliantly capture the excitement of the outdoor festival. |

Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner has thrown an interception in each of his starts over the past two seasons. (John T. Greilick / The Detroit News)
University of Minnesota players were not trash talking when they called Michigan a regular football team.
They were simply telling the truth. That is actually being kind. After a rip-roaring victory over Notre Dame under the lights before more than 115,000 fans a month ago, the Wolverines have been bad.
They were lucky to beat Akron, 28-24. They were fortunate that Connecticut melted down at home. The Wolverines rallied from a double-digit deficit to pull out a 24-21 victory. That is not Michigan football. These are not even good football teams they are beating.
A week after the loss to Michigan, UConn fired its head coach, Paul Pasqualoni, following a 41-12 loss to Buffalo. This was especially embarrassing to Huskies athletic director Warde Manuel, who played at Michigan and was the former AD at Buffalo. And did I mention that the Huskies also lost to Towson?
Here is what Minnesota defensive tackle Ra'Shede Hageman said about Michigan:
"The fact they almost lost to Akron, they're human," he told Minnesota reporters. "You know what I mean? Everybody praises them to be elite and I just feel like they're a regular football team."
He is right. I was at the Akron game and during my walk through the crowd to the postgame press conference, I heard Michigan fans say they were shocked by their football team's play. But another group said Akron is a good football team and should make noise in the Mid-American Conference.
Since the Michigan game, the Zips lost by five points at home to Louisiana-Lafayette and were destroyed by Bowling Green, 31-14. They also lost to Central Florida, 38-7.
That does not sound good to me.
They were actually playing "Hell's Bells" in the fourth quarter against Akron � and not because it is a cool song. They did it to rally the crowd during a nail-biting game. The pollsters see through Michigan. The Wolverines (4-0) dropped in the polls after both wins.
UConn is 0-4 and the Huskies� closest chance at winning came against Michigan.
I guess teams only get up for the Wolverines.
Gophers safety Cedric Thompson was spot on when he said this about Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner: "I think he kind of panics a lot. I think that when he scrambles, he kind of just throws the ball."
Michigan shook up its offensive line during its bye week � and hopefully coaches shook up Gardner. He is a great athlete with wonderful potential. But you cannot throw the ball around like it is a hand grenade. He needs to be more game manager until he learns to take care of the ball. Gardner has thrown at least one interception in every one of his starts the past two seasons.
I don't know if this is mediocre football or regular football � I simply know this is not Michigan football. More is expected of this team.
Let me quote coach Brady Hoke: "This is Michigan."
But this product they are throwing out is not Michigan football.
Michigan might be a regular football team but Minnesota, despite a 4-1 record, is nothing to write home about either. The Gophers looked terrible last week during a 23-7 loss at home to Iowa.
I expect Michigan to spank this team. If it doesn't, then the problems are even bigger than we imagined. This is far from a championship team.

The appeared clean and fresh. The bed was soft but supported well. When we walked by the pool the water did not appear clear and looked slightly murky... so did not swim. It was a little disappointing to find that a breakfast was not included since we had booked with Hotels.com. I asked for a room distant from the elevators and was told it was 4 or 5 rooms away. We arrived at 1:30 PM. She said if we did not want that room we could come back and she would find us another one. When we got to it, it was only 2 doors away. Why would she have a better one available if it was not available only minutes before? We decided to take it but put pillows in front of the door to block out any noise. It was quiet so not a problem. από τον/την Charlie από London,ON στις 03/10/2013

Your Idea: A Weapon that creates Peace
Let's face it; War is a business.
How, then, do we create a product of war, that doesn't hurt, maim, or kill, but rather does the opposite and heals, prevents, and stops conflict that a corporate company can patent and therefore make money from, keeping not only innocent people from being harmed, but also feeds the corporate companies' bottom line of keeping investors happy?!?
The idea is simple in effect, and promotes peace whilst still increasing worth.
I just have little idea on what the war product could be, so I'm crowd-sourcing from you, fellow TEDsters, to help build the perfect weapon: A weapon of peace.
Should it be just one weapon of peace, or, just as there are many weapons of war, perhaps there should be multiple weapons of peace that can each be patented by the companies listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_modern_armament_manufacturers and allow such companies to make money from peace?
as always, I'm awaiting your thoughts.....

Inoculation is the placement of something that will grow or reproduce, and is most commonly used in respect of the introduction of a serum, vaccine, or antigenic substance into the body of a human or animal, especially to produce or boost immunity to a specific disease. It can also be used to refer to the communication of a disease to a living organism by transferring its causative agent into the organism, the implanting of microorganisms or infectious material into a culture medium such as a brewers vat or a petri dish, or the placement of microorganisms or viruses at a site where infection is possible. The verb to inoculate is from Middle English inoculaten, which meant "to graft a scion" (a plant part to be grafted onto another plant); which in turn is from Latin inoculare, past participle inoculat-.[1][2]
This article covers variolation, inoculation as a method of purposefully infecting a person with smallpox (Variola) in a controlled manner so as to minimise the severity of the infection and also to induce immunity against further infection. See vaccination for post-variolation methods of safeguarding as if by inoculation by administering weakened or dead pathogens to a healthy person or animal with the intent of conferring immunity against a targeted form of a related disease agent.
Today the terms inoculation, vaccination and immunization are used more or less interchangeably and popularly refer to the process of artificial induction of immunity against various infectious diseases. The microorganism used in an inoculation is called the inoculant or inoculum.
The Indian historian D.P. Agrawal suggests that the practice originated in India.[3] A religious rite having this effect[clarification needed] was attributed to the physician Dhanvantari, founder of the Vedic tradition, in about 1500 BCE.[4] As with other medical customs, the inoculation was associated with a Hindu goddess.[citation needed] This ancient inoculation procedure featured in the BBC documentary What the Ancients Did for Us. In the 18th century Dr. J.Z. Holwell wrote the most detailed account for the college of Physicians in London, describing not only inoculation, but also showing that the Indians knew that microbes caused such diseases:
They lay it down as a principle, that the immediate cause of the smallpox exists in the mortal part of every human and animal form; that the mediate (or second) acting cause, which stirs up the first, and throws it into a state of fermentation, is multitudes of imperceptible animalculae floating in the atmosphere; that these are the cause of all epidemical diseases, but more particularly of the small pox.[5]
The British historian Joseph Needham and the American historian Robert Temple write that the practice of inoculation for smallpox began in China during the 10th century.[6][7] A Song Dynasty (960–1279) chancellor of China, Wang Dan (957–1017), lost his eldest son to smallpox and sought a means to spare the rest of his family from the disease, so he summoned physicians, wise men, and magicians from all across the empire to convene at the capital in Kaifeng and share ideas on how to cure patients of it.[8] From Mount Emei in Sichuan, a Daoist hermit, a nun known as a "numinous old woman" and "holy physician"—who Temple says was associated with the 'school of the ancient immortals' and thus most likely specialized in 'internal alchemy'—introduced the technique of inoculation to the capital.[9] However, the sinologist Joseph Needham states that this information comes from the Zhongdou xinfa (種痘心法) written in 1808 by Zhu Yiliang, centuries after the alleged events.[7]
The first clear and credible reference to smallpox inoculation in China comes from Wan Quan's (1499–1582) Douzhen xinfa (痘疹心法) of 1549, which states that some women unexpectedly menstruate during the procedure, yet his text did not give details on techniques of inoculation.[10] Inoculation was first vividly described by Yu Chang in his book Yuyi cao (寓意草), or Notes on My Judgment, published in 1643.[11] Inoculation was reportedly not widely practised in China until the reign of the Longqing Emperor (r. 1567–1572) during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), as written by Yu Tianchi in his Shadou jijie (痧痘集解) of 1727, which he alleges was based on Wang Zhangren's Douzhen jinjing lu (痘疹金鏡錄) of 1579.[10][11] From these accounts, it is known that the Chinese banned the practice of using smallpox material from patients who actually had the full-blown disease of Variola major (considered too dangerous); instead they used proxy material of a cotton plug inserted into the nose of a person who had already been inoculated and had only a few scabs, i.e. Variola minor.[9] This was called "to implant the sprouts", an idea of transplanting the disease which fit their conception of beansprouts in germination.[9] Robert Temple quotes an account from Zhang Yan's Zhongdou xinshu (種痘新書), or New book on smallpox inoculation, written in 1741 during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912), which shows how the Chinese process had become refined up until that point:
- Method of storing the material. Wrap the scabs carefully in paper and put them into a small container bottle. Cork it tightly so that the activity is not dissipated. The container must not be exposed to sunlight or warmed beside a fire. It is best to carry it for some time on the person so that the scabs dry naturally and slowly. The container should be marked clearly with the date on which the contents were taken from the patient.
- In winter, the material has yang potency within it, so it remains active even after being kept from thirty to forty days. But in summer the yang potency will be lost in approximately twenty days. The best material is that which had not been left too long, for when the yang potency is abundant it will give a 'take' with nine persons out of ten people—and finally it becomes completely inactive, and will not work at all. In situations where new scabs are rare and the requirement great, it is possible to mix new scabs with the more aged ones, but in this case more of the powder should be blown into the nostril when the inoculation is done.[12]
As for other methods used in China, the technique of scratching the skin and putting pox onto the scab seems to have developed later than the first accounts made in China, and possibly came from Central Asia—according to Temple.[9]
Early travellers to Ethiopia report that variolation was practiced by the Amhara and Tigray peoples. The first European to report this was Nathaniel Pearce, who noted that it was performed by a debtera who would collect "a quantity of matter" from a person with the most sores from small pox, then he "cuts a small cross with a razor in the arm" of his subject and put "a little of the matter" into the cut which was afterwards bound up with a bandage. Subsequent visitors who described this practice included W.C. Harris and Dr. Petit of the French scientific mission of 1839-1841.[13]
Importation to the West[edit]
The practice was introduced to the west by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (May 26, 1689 – August 21, 1762). Lady Montagu's husband, Edward Wortley Montagu, served as the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1716 to 1718. She witnessed firsthand the Turkish use of inoculation in Istanbul,[14] and was greatly impressed:[15] she had lost a brother to smallpox and bore facial scars from the disease herself. When a smallpox epidemic threatened England in 1721, she called on her physician to inoculate her daughter. She invited friends to see her daughter, including Sir Hans Sloane, the King's physician. Sufficient interest arose that Maitland gained permission to test inoculation at Newgate prison in exchange for their freedom on six prisoners due to be hanged, an experiment which was witnessed by a number of notable doctors. [16] All survived, and in 1722 the Prince of Wales' daughters received inoculations.[17]
The practice of inoculation slowly spread amongst the royal families of Europe, usually followed by more general adoption amongst the people.
The practice is documented in America as early as 1721, when Zabdiel Boylston, at the urging of Cotton Mather, successfully inoculated two slaves and his own son. Mather, a prominent Boston minister, had heard a description of the African practice of inoculation from his Sudanese slave, Onesimus, in 1706, but had been previously unable to convince local physicians to attempt the procedure.[18] Following this initial success, Boylston began performing inoculations throughout Boston, despite much controversy and at least one attempt upon his life. The effectiveness of the procedure was proven when, of the nearly three hundred people Boylston inoculated during the outbreak, only six died, whereas the mortality rate among those who contracted the disease naturally was one in six.[19] Boylston traveled to London in 1724. There he published his results and was elected to the Royal Society in 1726.
Natural experiment in inoculation around Boston, 1721 |
Total | Died | % Mortality | |
Variolated | c 300 | 6 | c 2% |
Unvariolated | c 6000 | c 1000 | "about 14%"[20] |
In France, considerable opposition arose to the introduction of inoculation. Voltaire, in his Lettres Philosophiques, wrote a criticism of his countrymen for being opposed to inoculation and having so little regard for the welfare of their children, concluding that "had inoculation been practised in France it would have saved the lives of thousands.".[21]
Inoculation grew in popularity in Europe through the 18th century. Given the high prevalence and often severe consequences of smallpox in Europe in the 18th century (according to Voltaire, there was a 60% incidence of first infection, a 20% mortality rate, and a 20% incidence of severe scarring),[22] many parents felt that the benefits of inoculation outweighed the risks and so inoculated their children.[23]
Two forms of the disease of Smallpox were recognised, now known to be due to two strains of the Variola virus. Those contracting Variola Minor had a greatly reduced risk of death – 1–2% – compared to those contracting Variola Major with 30% mortality. Infection via inhaled viral particles in droplets spread the infection more widely than the deliberate infection through a small skin wound. The smaller, localised infection is adequate to stimulate the immune system to produce specific immunity to the virus, while requiring more generations of the virus to reach levels of infection likely to kill the patient. The rising immunity terminates the infection. So the twofold effect is to ensure the less fatal form of the disease is the one caught, and to give the immune system the best start possible in combating it.
Inoculation in the East was historically performed by blowing smallpox crusts into the nostril. In Britain, Europe and the American Colonies the preferred method was rubbing material from a smallpox pustule from a selected mild case (Variola minor) into a scratch between the thumb and forefinger.[24] This would generally be performed when an individual was in normal good health, and thus at peak resistance. The recipient would develop smallpox; however, due to being introduced through the skin rather than the lungs, and possibly because of the inoculated individual's preexisting state of good health, the small inoculum, and the single point of initial infection, the resulting case of smallpox was generally milder than the naturally-occurring form, produced far less facial scarring, and had a far lower mortality rate. As with survivors of the natural disease, the inoculated individual was subsequently immune to re-infection.
Supplanted by vaccination[edit]
In 1796, the British scientist Edward Jenner published the results of his experiments and thus introduced the far superior and safer method of inoculation with the cowpox virus, a non-fatal virus that also induced immunity to smallpox. Jenner was not the first person to inoculate with cowpox, nor was he the first to realize that infection with cowpox gave immunity to smallpox. His efforts led to smallpox inoculation falling into disuse and eventually being banned in England in 1840.[25]

From laughter epidemics to suicide cascades to the socially contagious spread of obesity, I present intriguing evidence to show that our real life social networks drive and shape virtually every aspect of our lives. How we feel, whom we marry, whether we fall ill, how much money we make, and whether we vote all depend on what others around us—even those distantly connected to us—are doing, thinking, and feeling. I show that these connections have an ancient evolutionary past, and describe how this will affect our new life as technology moves our social networks online.

Connected: The Surprising Power of Our (Real Life) Social Networks
Connected: The amazing power of social networks and how they shape our lives
RSA Keynote
The notion of the self-determining, self-directed individual is rapidly losing favour as we discover ever more about the way humans operate, behave, and make decisions in social contexts.
Social scientist Nicholas A. Christakis visits the RSA to explain how our social networks influence our ideas, emotions, health, relationships, behaviour, politics, and so much more. It transpires that your colleague's husband's sister can make you fat, even if you don't know her. And a happy friend is more relevant to your happiness than a bigger income. Our connections - our friends, their friends, and even their friends' friends - have an astonishing power to influence everything from what we eat to who we vote for. And we, in turn, influence others. Our actions can change the behaviours, the beliefs, and even the basic health of people we've never met.
In showing how we are all unavoidably and inextricably connected, Christakis presents a picture of an unknowingly collaborative society, and what we can do to best utilise the power of these networks.
Chair: Matthew Taylor, chief executive, RSA

Science Friday — Connected
How can your friends — and your friends' friends — affect you? We'll talk with Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler, two researchers exploring social networks and how they affect our health and behavior. In their new book 'Connected,' the pair describe research into how social networks tie into obesity, smoking, voting behavior, happiness, and more.

All about Using Propane Tanks
Propane is a type of fuel that is used for various purposes. The gas is typically seen in grills and stoves as well as RVs and even in the home.

These tanks are portable and fairly easy to store and tote around. These cylindrical tanks are then hooked up to devices that use propane.

Océ Quick Change Developer Station (QCDS)
Océ Quick Change Developer Station (QCDS)
An Exchangeable Developer Station That Transforms One Printer Into Many
With innovative Océ Quick Change Developer Station (QCDS) technology, your print operation can achieve far more productivity and return on your technology investment. Because, with the QCDS feature, you can optionally transform any one printing system into three printers in one.
The key is an exchangeable developer station that enables documents to be printed with standard black toner and either highlight color or MICR toner. By simply swapping out the black developer station for a MICR or highlight (spot) color developer station, you can change your printer functionality in a matter of minutes to print in standard duplex mode with MICR or highlight color. So, whether you?re printing payroll checks, insurance reimbursements, or coupons, switchable QCDS technology eliminates the need for dedicated MICR or highlight color devices.
Typically used by banks on checks, MICR, or Magnetic Ink Character Recognition, is a character recognition system that uses special ink and characters. The special ink characters enable a document to be passed through a machine that magnetizes the ink and translates magnetic information into characters. MICR provides a secure, high-speed method of scanning and processing information.
With QCDS, you can flexibly print one run of MICR checks, then produce duplex documents in all black ink, and then run yet another application with black and white on the front and highlight color on the back. With Océ high performance printers, and fast, easy QCDS technology, the possibilities are virtually unlimited.
Industry-leading Support for MICR and Highlight Color
Océ offers the industry?s widest array of MICR and highlight color printing solutions. From cut sheet to continuous forms technoogy, Océ can provide a solution that?s right for your needs, including specialty applications that combine highlight color and MICR on a single page or call for two-over-two highlight color. And, with the Océ Adaptable Imaging Architecture (AIA) and enhanced QCDS functionality, you are assured that your MICR and highlight color solution can grow with you as your requirements change.
Expand your service offerings and revenue-generating opportunities by printing MICR or spot color jobs without having to invest in a new printer.
Move costly short run spot color jobs from offset and print them quickly using digital technology.
Enhance the value of documents by adding color to improve response-rates and using highlight color to emphasize critical information
Replace multiple dedicated, single-purpose printers with one multi-functional device for greater operational savings
Investment protection thanks to an adaptable technology that enables you to derive more functionality and productivity from a single device
Reduce costs by sharing exchangeable developer stations among multiple printers
Easy to use. With the QCDS changeovers are fast and easy - print operators can easily change a QCDS from black to MICR to CustomTone color in less than five minutes without a service call. No clean-up is required to switch between colors and the printer is ready to run immediately.
Support for monochrome, highlight color and MICR printing in a single system.
With QCDS technology, one cut sheet or continuous forms printer can be configured to do the job of many printers by simply swapping out the QCDS.
Support for Océ CustomTone toner
The quick change developer station supports the use of Océ CustomTone toner, with nine standard colors available. Optional color matching enables you to create documents using specific color matching for logos and other highlight (spot) color images to meet branding, corporate standards, or other design requirements. Matching custom colors can be used in both continuous forms and cut sheet printing systems.
One QCDS can be used in multiple printers
With Océ QCDS technology, you can use a single exchangeable developer station in multiple printers. Simply remove the station from one printer and use it with another, sharing developer stations among printers to eliminate the need to purchase dedicated developer stations for individual printers.
Fast and trouble-free toner switching
With QCDS, the operator can switch between black, MICR or CustomTone toner in less than five minutes. To change toner colors, the operator simply inserts the QCDS and can immediately begin running a new color.
Supports multiple cut sheet page sizes
Only the Océ QCDS supports cut sheet page sizes ranging from letter to ledger sizes.
Support for different grades of black toner in a single system
Ideal for commercial and graphic arts environments, the QCDS enables you to selectively match toner grades. When toner cost is an issue, you can use standard toner and when quality is a priority, you can choose to use premium toner.
Intelligent toner color tracking
All QCDS stations are coded to ensure that the toner matches the requirements of the document being printed. If the printer detects that a document requires a different toner than the one loaded, printing is halted and the operator is notified. With Océ VarioStream 7000 smart toner bottles, it's virtually impossible to load the wrong toner bottle, and your document integrity is maintained even when switching between colors.
MICR assurance
With Océ MICR products, you have our guarantee of problem-free check printing (contact your local sales representative for details).

SECAUCUS AND BEYOND – Former President Bill Clinton on Friday endorsed U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-Paterson) over U.S. Rep. Steven Rothman (D-Englewood) in what has been a close primary battle for the 9th Congressional District.
Pascrell and Rothman went head to head after redistricting forced portions of Congressional Districts 5, 8, and 9 to combine into two districts. Secaucus and Kearny are the only Hudson County municipalities in the new 9th Congressional District. The primary is June 5.
"I know Bill Pascrell, and he is the fighter we need to support President Obama," President Clinton said in a press statement. "Bill helped write President Obama's health care law, he's a leader protecting and strengthening Social Security and Medicare, and he never stops fighting for the middle class. Nothing is more important to Bill than creating jobs in New Jersey. I saw that in the eight years we worked together to build unprecedented prosperity for America. We can't afford to lose his ideas, energy, and experience just when they're needed most."
"I am honored to have the support of Bill Clinton," Pascrell said. "Fighting side by side with President Clinton, our nation achieved tremendous prosperity and a balanced budget. Today, the Republicans are promoting the same George Bush policies that ended President Clinton's era of prosperity – special interest tax breaks, tax cuts for the wealthy, cuts in education and job training, all leading to record deficits. Those policies failed, but the Tea Party Republicans want to bring them all back and that's why I'm running, to stop the Tea Party."

What's the best way to organize library books? Choose from single or double-faced library shelving in a variety of heights and styles to keep books organized. Combining wall-mounted and freestanding bookcases lets you make the most of your floor space, while our colorful Educational Edge library shelving adds a dash of cheer.
Should I get single- or double-faced library shelving?
No matter how large or small your library is, you'll find library shelving to suit your needs at Hertz Furniture. Most libraries will probably benefit from a combination of single- and double-faced shelving. Single faced shelving goes against walls, while freestanding units enable you to create additional aisles or rows in the middle of the room. Lower double-faced units also work well as room dividers or childrens' bookcases.
What is the most affordable way to get library bookshelves?
Double-faced shelves might be a bit pricey for institutions on a tight budget. However, there is a solution which creates a similar configuration. You can get significant savings from fastening single-faced bookcases back to back instead of purchasing double-faced units. This arrangement offers the same configuration as double-faced bookshelves with the added benefit of being able to separate the shelves if you decide that you want single-faced units in the future.
How can I make bookcases look built in?
Starter and adder units create a custom built-in look without the extra expense of a personalized design. Modular bookcases save space and money, enabling you to fit more shelves in the room that you have. You can order the perfect number of shelves for your study space for wall-to-wall books. An additional benefit of modular bookshelves is that you can always add more later. You can start off with one arrangement and simply attach more adder units as the book collection expands or your reconfigure the space.
Are steel or wooden bookcases better?
Because books are very heavy, it is important to purchase bookshelves designed specifically for holding them. Hertz Furniture offers tough library shelving in both steel and solid wood. Datum library shelves are constructed from 22-gauge steel that provides the toughness you need to support literature. Steel bookcases come in a wide selection of colors including vibrant and more muted tones.
Solid wood shelving has a classic stately appeal that is reminiscent of elegant and highly-prized book collections. Russwood library shelving is constructed from solid oak and real oak veneers. It has an extremely high book capacity. You can choose from a selection of appealing wood hues to coordinate with your other library furniture.
Should I get special library shelving for the children's section?
While most school library shelves are open, there are some instances in which fixed dividers are advantageous. In early-childhood libraries, fixed dividers help keep thin books in an upright position, and make it easier for little ones to remove and replace books. Dividers can also be helpful whenever a shelf is less than full and you don't want books to tip over, or when you want to divide books into small, clear sections.
For a brighter, inviting reading space, look no further than Educational Edge library shelving. These strong and sturdy bookcases feature brightly-accented edges in a selection of hues. They are perfect for a children's section or even a contemporary adult library. They can also be coordinated with classroom colors for those who keep many books in the learning space.
Inspire reading by displaying your books prominently on Hertz Furniture's attractive collection of library shelves. Our wide selection offers a number of styles, colors and configurations that can fit in with a variety of library furniture. At Hertz Furniture, we know that figuring out the perfect combination of library bookcases can be a complicated and daunting process, and that's why we are here to help you every step of the way. For personalized assistance from layout to selection to ordering and beyond, contact the Hertz Design Team to begin planning your dream library today.

With everything from office desks to school chairs conveniently organized on this one Made in USA page, you can definitely afford to buy American.
There are lots of reasons to look for school furniture that is made in the USA. If we want to teach our students to be patriotic, we need to demonstrate our own patriotism in the classroom. By furnishing a learning space with American made school desks, student chairs and bookcases, we send a message to children that we are proud of our country and our home-grown goods. They will understand that there are many reasons to be proud to be an American.
When you go shopping for furniture made in the USA, make sure to really check the label before purchasing anything. While some companies might claim that they are only using American labor, it is possible that certain steps in the assembly process are happening overseas, or that international parts are being used with the assembly process in America. It is important to demonstrate to manufacturers, the American public and the world that it does make a difference to consumers when they have furniture made in America.
There are tons of benefits to purchasing made in USA furniture. First of all, America has very strict standards regarding pollution in product production. When you buy American, you help keep a cleaner environment for the future of our children. When you purchase products without looking for the made in USA label, you don't know what they might contain or what kinds of conditions they were made under. Products from overseas might have been made under substandard working conditions, in factories which are causing tons of air pollution or using child labor.
American labor standards and worker conditions ensure that your office furniture is only produced under acceptable conditions. Made in the USA products have been manufactured through processes which take into account the safety of the workers, the quality of the products and the impact on the environment. When you buy American, you celebrate our country's independence and promote a self-sufficient economy.
When you buy domestically-produced furniture, you can feel good about your purchase. It's great to know that it was made under particular conditions, in compliance with strict standards. You also know who made it. The production of American made furniture creates jobs for our country's citizens. It is always important to support the American labor force, and buying furniture made in the USA is a mutually-beneficial way to do so.
At Hertz Furniture, we know what is important to the American consumer. With our wide array of American made furniture, you can be patriotic and still rely on the quality, style and reliability you have come to expect from Hertz Furniture. So next time you are looking for furniture made in the USA, you can simply come to this page to buy American. Need help choosing which great models will fit best in your space?
