Workbridge New York Helps Displaced Contractors After Hurricane Sandy!
As a result of Hurricane Sandy, many companies and businesses in the NYC tech community were displaced due to flooding as well as issues with equipment due to the severe storm. In fact, such was the case for one of our clients. Upon hearing about the loss of their work space, Workbridge New York opened its doors to lend a helping hand.
We welcomed three of their contractor employees, all of which we placed with the company, into our space for the past few weeks and turned our office into a co-working space for our recruiters, staff and these three contractors.
As we got to know each of them a little better, the story of one contractor stood out the most. His display of courage, determination and positive attitude gave such inspiration to our recruiters and staff.
In August 2012, Drew Sussberg placed Matt in a contract to hire position. Upon accepting this position Matt was determined to show that he was an asset to the company and worth keeping. However, on October 29th, Matt faced a devastating situation that many of us couldn't imagine going through.
As he explained to our Marketing Specialist, his home in Broad Channel, Queens "was almost completely submerged in the storm surge. At least 6 feet of water was in my house and in the house of my extended family who live fairly close by."
Thankfully he and his friends and family, made it out alive. Currently, Matt is residing in the Glendale area of Queens with 8 other family members until their aid arrives. In early December, Matt received great news from the company he was doing contract work for; they had extended him an offer of full time employment and to work at their headquarters in Maryland. Matt described this news as being "like the sound of angels coming to my rescue. Not only have I finally secured myself with work that is both fulfilling and well compensating, but I also get to be in Maryland, where I met the woman of my dreams and my heart."
It is our pleasure to congratulate Matthew on his advancement and wish him all the best in his new full time position and life! We're rooting for you!
"My independence, my love and my life are now literally days from being secured and firmly within the palm of my hand, and none of this would have been possible were it not for Workbridge Associates. Even when I had given up the fight and thought that work was just impossible to secure in this day and age, they never gave up on me." -Matthew G.
Happy Holidays from Workbridge Associates!
The holiday season is one filled with friends, family, and reflection on the past year. Here at Workbridge Associates, we have a lot to happy about. It's been a great year, one of our best, in fact!
We've placed a record amount of job seekers with new companies, expanded our national staff, and created a successful new event series that help provide a forum for our technologists to come, learn and network!
We would just like to thank all of the businesses that have worked with us in 2012. Your patronage has helped us find opportunities for all of the talented technologists we work with day in and day out. It truly has been an honor to be a part of building your business!

Another Happy Job Seeker at Workbridge Philadelphia!
Eric (seen below) is a job seeker recently placed by Marialice at Workbridge Philadelphia.
Eric had worked in the IT field years ago, but eventually became burned out and decided to make a major life change, becoming a tattoo artist. (Talk about a career transition!)
Recently, he'd been considering getting back into the programming world, and figured the best way to do that would be to teach himself one of the newest programming languages. So that's what he did! He taught himself Ruby, contacted Workbridge, and the rest is history.
Marialice set him up on an interview with a great company, he killed it, and they offered him an awesome position a few days later.
We couldn't be happier for him!

Make Believe Tea Party Fundraiser
This is an idea that was used by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. No finger sandwiches, crumpets or fine china necessary! All you need are tea bags, invitations, envelopes and stamps. The concept: Send an invitation for a "Make-Believe Tea Party" to your friends, neighbors co-workers, etc. Send a tea bag (inexpensive per tea bag if you buy them in bulk - or you can try to get the tea bags donated) in an envelope along with a classy, yet catchy, invitation explaining that they are invited to a "make-believe tea party" on a certain day (Mother's Day, for example) at a certain time (high noon, for example).
Explain that on that date and time, you will all enjoy a cup of tea (using the tea bag provided) in support of your cause (or in memory/honor of someone). Remind them that they can take part in this tea party while still enjoying the comforts of their own home! Ask each "guest" for a donation in return for "attending" this tea party. Provide a SASE for their convenience. The tea bag is theirs to keep whether they make a donation or not, but the hope is that your efforts will encourage them to send you a donation. You can either ask for a donation of a specified amount as the "cost" for "attending" this tea party, or leave the donation amount open-ended and up to the individual. Be sure to send a "thank-you" to those who make a donation. Source: Melissa M, Hartford, CT
We have included a number of do-it-yourself fundraising ideas in this section that offer a break from traditional product sales. They were developed by groups just like yours in an attempt have a little fun with their fundraiser. Some of them are tried and true while others show a lot of creativity ... and even wackiness in some cases. All of them are obviously not appropriate for every group, but sometimes, with only a little modification, your might find some fund raising ideas that are perfect for your group. If you have an idea for a do-it-yourself fund raiser you are willing to share with others, please send it to us via email. Include anything and everything you would want to know if you were hearing the idea for the first time.

Microsoft keeps putting out faulty systems, that mandate the purchase of new accessories, peripherals, printers, scanners, ethernet cards, modems, and, etc.
Then, there are all the million Microsoft virus/trojans/ bots, exploits!
And, it doesn't even offer multi-user, multi-tasking, and up to 36 con-current desktops! If it were an automobile, it would be called a LEMON by the government, in defense of the consumer!
Ignore the Microsoft media propaganda. Microsoft runs their Internet access on 15,000 Linux Akamai leased servers, for SECURITY! Doh!!!
Simply run one of the many FREE versions of the BSD's, or GNU/Linux! Check out livecdlist.com
FREE, 26,841 Open Source applications, programs, suites! YOU may possess the source code, FREE!
A true no-brainer. HP and Brother, CUPS have printer drivers, ATI and nVidia offer accelerated drivers.
Ubuntu mails out FREE CDs! There is simply no excuse for you to not run a CURRENT, STABLE OS, that is immune to the million Microsoft VIRUS/Trojans, and exploits!
Dunno why I'm bothering but here goes. Windows 7 shows some promise. I've found it to be far more stable than Vista in that I don't get the "Not Responding" window freezes and crashes that I got in Vista all the time. Win7 IMO should have been what Vista is. Those of us who bought Vista are getting screwed so the comment about refrigerators that fail this often get recalled or even gov't involved.
The other statements you made not so true. The same hardware I used for WinXP worked fine with Vista and even better under Win7 (except scan functions on my old hppsc1210).
Ubuntu is a great product too. I use it for certain tools but to try to introduce it on a wide scale takes the big vendors to do so who would market hardware made to work. These little eePC's or whatever Asus calls the mini-laptops are a start. Otherwise the choices remain Mac or Windows and just us hobbyists using Linux.

Though my career began in print working for a small design firm in the Milwaukee suburbs, I quickly found a passion for web design and email marketing while working for one of the nation's largest magazine publishers.
Most recently I acted as creative director for a medium-sized electronics manufacturer where my varied responsibilities covered every aspect of re-branding and marketing content creation in both print and online.
I have extensive experience in both graphic design and web & digital design.
My many tasks include website design and maintenance, logo & branding design, literature design, photography, email marketing, and copy writing.
Within the past several months I've launched websites for a school district, two non-profits, a commercial real estate company, two online sellers AND produced several successful print & email campaigns.
With several varied websites and multi-platform digital marketing campaigns under my belt, you can feel confident that your project will be expertly managed through every stage of the process!
My goal is to not only create and maintain strong, simple and successful design campaigns but to bring my clients' visions to life using my experience and skill—to exceed my clients' expectations at every turn.
…and who knows, we may have a little fun along the way!
Simplicity is not the goal.
It is the by-product of a good idea and modest expectations.
—Paul Rand—
Whether you require a simple marketing website or a complex eCommerce platform, I create modern, responsive designs that are professional, affordable and easy to maintain.
I work closely with my clients to build their company's branding with logos, images & graphics, letterhead, brochures, catalogues, signage and any other unique projects they may require.
I design, build, manage & track beautiful custom, mobile-friendly HTML email marketing campaigns using the latest techniques to ensure cross-email client support and readability.
When Annie's Publishing in Berne, Indiana reached out for a custom website design for their new magazine they were launching I was thrilled! This modern design perfectly marries the classic, old-fashion character of the title with the modern approach they were looking for for the site's design.
Having grown up in the Lake Country area I was thrilled to join the Hartland Chamber of Commerce upon forming Matt Gerber Designs. I was even more excited when they hired me to redesign their website from the ground up. In addition to the usual information about the chamber that was needed on their site, they also required integration with a company called Chamber Master which handles all of the member and event information. The final result is a stunning combination of form and functionality and suits the Chamber perfectly.
Clyde Caldwell is an incredible fantasy illustrator—most famous for his work done for TSR and various fantasy authors. He and his wife Sharon approached me in early 2016 to redesign his online portfolio and store. The end-result perfectly marries his brilliant artistry with the latest in eCommerce website design best-practices for a website that will last for years to come!
Corey and Dan, the owner's of Water's Edge Boat Club reached out for a new website design. They needed to replace their current site with a new, responsive design that better represented their great brand. The result is a beautiful and effective site that both the owners and their customers love!
Leduc's Frozen Custard recently went through an ownership change. Along with their updated marketing plan, a new responsive website was in order! With this design, I wanted to marry the classic charm of a burgers and custard restaurant with the modern success of their brand. The end result was a perfect blend of these to ideas.
The owner of Nobel Bags reached out late this fall as they needed an ultra-simple, sleek eCommerce Wordpress website to showcase their all-new line of fitness/fashion bags. The end result is both functional and stylish—just like the brand it's marketing.
Insight Physical Therapy was an exciting project as it also included a sister site located at PTASeminars.com. Both websites, though separate entities needed to share a similar branding and overall voice.
Kirchoff Group is an amazing local realtor. They really stand out in a crowded field with their amazing knowledge of they area and their passion for local business. They really wanted a site that was different than the average realtor site—and what they ended up with was just that. We used a Wordpress template with quite a few added features to really create something stunning.
Lake Country Racquet & Athletic Club has been around for decades—offering a wide array of services to their clients. They came to me with a desire for a full site redesign that would simultaneously bring their marketing up to date and allow for simply in-house updates without the need for a long-term maintenance plan. Naturally a Wordpress website was the ultimate solution.
PTA Seminars is the sister site and company to Insight Physical Therapy. It shares a similar design and voice, though it's function is QUITE different. Where Insight PT is purely a marketing site, PTA Seminars is a vehicle for online registration. Through a series of plugins, this Wordpress website design looks great and works seamlessly.
This was an exciting project. The Lavender Leash is a new subscription box service that targets affluent dog owners. Though the website utilizes a content management service that specializes in subscription services, the website design is entirely custom.
This branding was created for an all-new, incredible company that works with newly diagnosed cancer patients to help them understand the changes that are occurring within their body and hair.
This project, though similar to Hartland-Lakeside School district, had several challenges that were unique to Erin School. In addition to the complete user-experience overhaul that went into this website redesign, special consideration needed to be paid to the user accounts and their permissions. Every teacher in their building needed to have specific access so that they could update and maintain their own biography pages which gives students and parents insight into their classrooms. The end result is something that both faculty and parents have been thrilled with!
This Multisite was a very large project for us that consisted of a main district site and satellite sites for 6 of the district's schools. In addition to the information that needed to be served up in an organized fashion, special attention needed to be paid to the updatability of the content by several different users.
The series of sites also needed to share a single database so that items such as the news & events and the calendar can be reflected across all of the sites. This allows for maximum usability by district parents.
Wish I Were There Travel is a local travel agency that specializes in destination weddings and group travel. They were really looking for something that separated them from the pack—something bright and energetic. The end result take full advantage of their strengths and connections within the industry to give all of their clients any information they need to book their dream vacations!
This branding for AMD labels plays off of the printing web that is involved in many of the most common services they handle in house.
The Kiwanis Club of Greater Hartland was in desperate need of a website redesign when I jumped on board. This new Wordpress website is simple, clean and informative—it markets the core values of the organization and advertises the clubs upcoming events.
Clearview Home, a Christian Science nursing home located in Delafield Wisconsin, is a beautiful facility. The challenge with the site was to showcase not only the unique beauty of the nursing home's surroundings but to do it in a way that really brought their message to life.
Although the Property Advisor website design centers around the company's real estate listings on it's face, it really has another feature that nearly supersedes it in importance. The company owner wanted built-in functionality that would allow his clients to log in to view and upload real estate documents. Through various customized plug-ins, the end result was exactly what the client wanted.
Grateful Hearts Giving is an amazing organization! I was happy to donate this web design to their cause. In addition to a clean, straight-forward aesthetics, this web project required a donation component that was seamlessly added. If you have time, you owe it to yourself to discover what this non-profit is all about!
This was The Family Handyman's first foray into the mobile app space and they wanted a simple, sleek, informative and responsive page that would represent the quality of the app. With the launch of this landing page, the app's success was astounding—almost tripling every best case scenario they put together.
Kar-Tech, Inc. recently created a sub-brand of products that is going to be sold as a commodity item to OEMs and electronics manufacturers. This all-new eCommerce website is designed to present all of the switches' incredible benefits in a quick, easy-to-digest snapshot.
This was a complete redesign of Kar-Tech's website to incorporate their new branding and an expanded store. With the expansion from around a dozen products in Kar-Tech's online store to more than 250, I decided to build the site on the Magento Community CMS. With the majority of the site being a marketing site, and the CMS for Magento focusing on eCommerce it took a considerable amount of customization to build the site as you see it today.
The owner of Événement Planning approached me in late 2013 for a new website, wanting something modern and stylish—something that really showcased how the beauty of her events. The site is built with Wordpress utilizing the Avada theme, which allows événement the simple functionality of updating their own gallery photos, content and blog posts.
Gerber's Nursery is a family-owned and operated wholesale perennial nursery. This website is built with Wordpress which allows the Gerber family the ability to change their own plant lists seasonally with ease. It is a very simple website that houses all of the most critical information for prospective buyers.
Started in February of 2014, Kar-Tech, Inc. has a bi-weekly email newsletter/email marketing campaign that I write, design, build and mail to a client list of roughly 3,000 recipients. The emails have been a monumental success in building company awareness, spreading the Kar-Tech brand to new markets and driving traffic to new eCommerce website.
While working at Reader's Digest Association, one of my varied responsibilities as a digital designer was to design and build marketing emails for Taste of Home magazine. This is one of dozens that was mailed to a subscriber list of several million.
This Taste of Home microsite, which I designed and coded with HTML and CSS best practices, serves as a source of information for consumers considering a subscription to the Taste of Home magazine. Special attention was paid to merging the style's of the Taste of Home magazine with their digital style-guide used on TasteofHome.com.
Several times a year, The Family Handyman hosts a sweepstakes. Each contest required its own creative with landing pages, digital ads and marketing emails. This is one of several that I designed and built and represents of the first projects at Reader's Digest that utilizes responsive code to ensure best viewing and conversion regardless of device.
The Family Handyman magazine has a bi-annual $5 sale that required different creative to broadcast across multiple mediums. This landing page represents one of several that I designed and built for The Family Handyman brand keeping in my the magazine's branding with introducing seasonal elements.
One of Kar-Tech's biggest assets is their wide variety of extraordinary products. This new literature book that I designed showcases them in the manner that they truly deserve. Not only is it visually arresting, but it organizes all of the electronics technical details in an easy to read manner.
The Humane Animal Welfare Society of Waukesha, Wisconsin approached us looking for all-new branding for their Owned Outdoor Cat program. We designed and supplied them with a new name, branding, stationary, literature and style guide which the implemented across several mediums from advertisements to billboards.

"The day we stop learning is the day we die." —Michael Scott
When asked if I would be able to create a computer animation showcasing one of Kar-Tech's newest wireless transmitters, I decided it was time to learn a new skill. This is the accumulation of several weeks of Lynda.com tutorials, blood, sweat and tears—but now I can't wait to dive head first into another animation project!

You've probably read the USB Tekspek, and perhaps your intrigue, or product interest, has lead you to look up Firewire as well. The two are similar in some respects, particularly some of the products that use the two technologies. However, Firewire has its differences, which means it has both benefits and drawback when compared to USB. This Tekspek will look at Firewire and also look at it with respect to USB.

Updating drivers can sometimes be a bit of a gamble. Will the drivers come with an installer? Will you need to uninstall the old drivers first? Many drivers these days do come with an installer, which simplifies the process dramatically.

Gary McAllister Set For Leeds
Speculation is growing that Gary McAllister MBE will be re-joining Leeds United as a replacement for the outgoing Dennis Wise.
The Yorkshire Evening Post have reported that McAllister, out of work since he departed Coventry City in 2003. Despite Chairman Ken Bates suggesting that he would not bow to supporter pressure in picking a manager, it now seems he is willing to choose popularity, over managerial experience.
More as it develops.

Injury Report: "(WR)
Opening Remarks: "We look forward to playing the Washington Redskins and we know they're a good football team. So, our guys have had a good week of preparation; prepared hard and well. We know we're going into a loud place. We've spent some time in here working with the noise and making sure our young quarterback and a couple of the linemen have an opportunity to be on the same page with the snap count."
On whether he feels G Danny Watkins will be able to play on Sunday: "Well, what you end up getting with the (high-ankle sprain), you get tweaks in there and it hinders your lateral mobility. I was just proud of him for getting out here and going through what he did. He did a nice job with it, so he's making progress and we'll just see how he does here in the next couple of days."
On his plan for the right guard position should Watkins be unable to play: "We'll see. I've got a couple of things in there that I'm working with."
On whether G
On how you replace WR Jason Avant: "Well, we've got four receivers there with (WR) Mardy (Gilyard) out, so they're all going to play. They all have a role. Jason's one of the best in the business as an inside slot receiver, so we could use a couple different people in there and move guys around and do what we need to do."
On how QB
On how your prepare to tackle Washington QB Robert Griffin III as a defensive player: "He's a dynamic player. Very fast, very strong, quick. He's got good judgment that he makes with the football in his hands and when he has the option ability and then when he scrambles. You try to do the best you can working with it. (WR Marvin) McNutt simulated him. He had been a quarterback in high school and when he went to Iowa, he was recruited as a quarterback there and then they switched him to wide receiver. So we used him to simulate just a little bit of RGIII. Until you get out there, you're right. Until you get out there, you're not going to have that full effect until you do it live."
On the emergency quarterback: "Well, I've got a couple. (WR Jeremy) Maclin and (WR) DeSean (Jackson) both can do that."
On what he has seen from Scott to consider starting him after a week with the team: "Well, if you went that direction, you go off of him knowing the offense and the calls and the blocking schemes. And then you go off of his past, his history of play."
On whether Scott is in game-shape: "For what he did out here, it looked like he was. He looks like he's in pretty good shape. We put him through a pretty excessive workout, just in case it came down to where he had to get in and play and he handled that well. You've got to go play. You've got to see if that happens, if he's in the game and playing. I can't tell you unless that would happen."
On whether he has had to scale back the playbook for Foles: "No, he's comfortable with what we've been running. The same things we were doing in training camp and he always had a handful of good plays in. But he's good with that."
On whether Foles is ahead of where most rookies are at this point in the season: "I think as you evaluate that whole rookie class, I think you would probably say that they can handle more than maybe what a rookie could do ten years ago, just because of what they're asked to do at the college level."
On whether there is an adjustment for the players moving from a right-handed quarterback to a left-handed quarterback: "Not really. There's some things that you flop over. But not really."
On how tough it is to see QB Michael Vick going through his injury and not achieve his goal of staying healthy throughout the season: "I know that was one of his goals, was, obviously, not to get hurt and make it through this season. Mike is a very considerate guy. He feels like he lets people down and his teammates down and that's not the case. He's hurt. One of the toughest guys I've been around though. One of the most competitive, toughest guys I've been around. So, he'll get better as we go here. He's just got to get better. That's what he has to do. Just concentrate on that right now. That's the most important thing."
On whether they would consider signing another quarterback if Vick was out for several weeks: "I haven't even gone there. I'm not that far ahead."
On whether being in Philadelphia for a long time has prepared him for years where times are tough: "I don't get caught up in all of that. I worry about right now; what can we control, what can I control and that's getting this football team better. Doing a better job coaching, getting the players better and taking it one day at a time; that's how you go about your job. Anything that you add into that mix is a distraction and you can't afford that in the National Football League."

At Durulaman, west of Kabul, beneath the ruined, shell-pocked palace of Afghanistan's vanquished kings, stands Camp Dubs, home to the US army's counter-insurgency training centre. The base is named after Adolph Dubs, America's former ambassador to Kabul, who was kidnapped by Islamists in 1979. After a brief hostage siege, Dubs was shot and killed.
As the US discovered in Iraq, it's easier to get into a war than get out – and to a significant degree, Washington, like the hapless Dubs, is now held hostage in Afghanistan. At the same time, the US is here because it wants to be. Believing it will just up and leave any time soon is plain wishful thinking.
Iraq and Afghanistan are America's sudoku wars. Put simply, by occupying blank or vacated spaces, Washington gets a handle on the nextdoor squares. It's a geostrategic numbers game. Thus what follows, in logical sequence, are Pakistan and Iran. In this continuing gambit to "shape the security environment", as US planners say, Afghanistan is an irreplaceable asset.
Barack Obama's West Point speech, setting a July 2011 "timeline" for the start of an American withdrawal, was widely misinterpreted. It is true, the speech was no call to arms. In domestic terms, it could be termed political damage limitation. But it is not surrender.
Within hours, defence secretary Robert Gates was telling Congress the 18-month target marked merely the beginning of a "gradual, condition-based process" of transferring security responsibilities in key areas to Afghan forces. Addressing Nato last Friday, Hillary Clinton fudged further. In point of fact, there is no deadline for withdrawal, and none is in prospect.
Far from winding down, the American presence here is widening and deepening. The build-up is measured by more than additional combat brigades. It entails direct political interference, systemic institutional meddling, extended financial leverage and accelerating regional influence exercised via sprawling satrapiessuch as giant Kamp Holland and Forward Operating Base Ripley in Tarin Kowt, Uruzgan, abutting Helmand.
The idea this momentum will somehow be slowed, and the process thrown into reverse in 18 months' time, is risible. What's happening is not the "Afghanisation" espoused by Gordon Brown. It's Americanisation.
The US evidently believes it cannot leave quickly even if it wanted. One reason is that, in Obama's words, it has yet to "disrupt and dismantle" al-Qaida and its extremist allies, and may not do so in 18 months or even five years. "If we're to succeed here, we need a deeper understanding of Afghanistan's history and culture. We have to convince people of an idea – freedom. It's a Herculean task. But if we don't, we're in deep trouble," said Camp Dubs counter-insurgency expert Terry Tucker.
Disdaining fatuous timelines, President Hamid Karzai's corrupt, discredited government keeps US wrists tied. Karzai knows Washington, lacking viable alternatives, needs him and his warlord cronies. The US has a responsibility, says independent MP Daoud Sultanzoy, to stay and help create more law-abiding, democratic governance. He predicts it will take eight or 10 years at least.
Afghan Lt-General Sher Mohammad Karimi, unable to deliver security self-sufficiency nationwide, pulls a different lever. Having invaded Afghanistan, "Obama has an obligation to protect our country and help us stand on our feet," he says. "The international community has only begun to take Afghanistan seriously in the past three years. We need a lot of time and a lot of people."
Abandoned to civil war and Taliban oppression after the Russians left, Afghans have grown cynical about their western-backed government and western promises, said an aid worker with 20 years' experience of the country. "Nato's in denial about how unpopular it is... They are trying to be gentler, to give more control to the Afghans," he said, but it may already be too late. US and allied commanders believe it isn't – hence General Stanley McChrystal's military-civilian surge.
Powerful geostrategic reasons dictate that the US won't leave soon as a matter of deliberate choice. These concern the prospective next moves in Washington's strategic sudoku.
An increasingly destabilised Pakistan, more important in security terms than Afghanistan, is already in play. It cannot presently beattacked, occupied or otherwise subjugated by military force since it is, ostensibly, a democratic ally. But it can expect to bestrong-armed, pressured, suborned and manipulated in the coming, wider, shifting fight against al-Qaida and the jihadis.
In Pakistan, the US-inspired offensive in Waziristan and the retaliatory Taliban bombing campaign are a taste of more turbulent times to come. Meanwhile, in the context of America's developing confrontation with Iran, its continuing presence in Afghanistan has exceptional value. Sources in the western city of Herat say US special forces already have a free rein along the Afghan-Iranian border. It's uncertain what they do there; Tehran says it's certainly subversion.
Returning from the second Anglo-Afghan war in 1880, General Frederick "Little Bobs" Roberts made a modern point: "The best thing to do is leave it [Afghanistan] as much as possible to itself. It may not be very flattering to out amour propre, but I feel sure I am right when I say the less the Afghans see of us, the less they will dislike us."
The powers that be didn't listen then. And as the first Afghan-American warrapidly escalates, they're not listening now.

India 1 full year polio-free for the first time in history
In 1957, during a time when polio epidemics ravaged countries worldwide and many considered polio to be the world's most feared disease, Albert B. Sabin began human trials to test his live oral polio vaccine. From 1952 to 1961, the number of polio cases in the United States fell from 58,000 to 161, due in large part to Sabin's vaccine.
Today marks another major milestone. India, one of only four remaining countries with endemic polio, has gone one full year without a single case of the disabling disease. Just three years ago, India had more cases of polio than any other country. Since then, 2 million volunteer vaccinators have worked throughout India to deliver more than 780 million polio vaccinations a year. The polio eradication effort is part of an effort led by the Indian government, with the help of global partners like WHO, UNICEF and Rotary International, to set up an infrastructure for delivering health services to some of the most underprivileged children in India and in the world.
"I'd like to praise the people in India for all their hard work and for demonstrating that polio really can be eradicated,"says Dr. Ciro de Quadros, Sabin executive vice president and champion of the polio eradication efforts in the Americas. "We should now apply lessons learned from India to fight back polio in more difficult countries like Nigeria and Pakistan. With the kind of commendable efforts shown in India, we can achieve global eradication of polio."

Cambridge School of Weston to partner with Karuna School for peace and equity studies
When Lisa Prajna Hallstrom founded the Karuna School with her husband in 2008, she dreamed of raising funds to build a high school to house the school's unique peace studies curriculum. Then the economy crashed, and raising millions seemed out of reach. The school's board of directors decided Karuna would work to add peace and equity studies, social and emotional learning, and global service learning to the curriculum of already existing schools. This spring, the Karuna School will start a two-year pilot program at the Cambridge School of Weston (CSW). The partnership will create a school within a school: CSW students will be able to take classes from the Karuna curriculum. To learn more, we spoke with Hallstrom; Jane Moulding, head of school at the Cambridge School; and Johàra Tucker, director of social justice and multicultural programming at CSW.
Through this partnership, students at The Cambridge School of Weston will be able to take classes in social and emotional learning from the Karuna School curriculum. What is social and emotional learning (SEL)?
Hallstrom: The learning that helps children acquire and apply the skills necessary to understand and manage their emotional life; to set positive goals, to feel empathy for others, to make responsible decisions. Mindfulness is only one of the tools we want to offer. [We want to promote a] peaceful inside [and] an outer peace and justice in the world.
Why is it important to teach high school students social and emotional skills like mindfulness meditation, which will be taught in the .b course that starts this spring?
Hallstrom: Children come to school with all sorts of needs. They have a whole life that's bigger than school. When Columbine happened, I was shocked that children could feel so alienated they would consider killing their peers. When the mindfulness movement started about 10 years ago, people started to introduce social and emotional mindfulness to children, and it really had an effect on their resilience and their ability to learn.
Moulding: This might be a powerful way to direct some energy to make sure we always hold on to those ideals of raising kids who understand conflict negotiation, mindfulness, [and other life skills].
How can mindfulness help today?s high school students, who are often under a lot of pressure to succeed?
Hallstrom: Number one, [mindfulness] strengthens empathy. It strengthens synaptic connections. When a student says, "I can't do math," that enforces a negative neural pathway. With mindfulness, students learn to strengthen the positive pathway instead. It increases learning and memory processes. It increases emotional regulation. Self-esteem increases. Teens are more stressed than any other age group. They're firing the alarm part of their brain, the amygdala, all the time. It can't distinguish between a real threat and a perceived threat. We're helping them through this training how to turn that off so they can learn.
Moulding: It's an enormous part of our mission to help kids learn skills and ways of doing things rather than be obsessed by [mastering lessons]. We have an emphasis on the arts. They really de-stress kids. [When you're] singing, dancing, or painting, you're using different parts of the body than when you're sitting in an AP class. A huge part of thinking about this mindfulness and healthy bodies-healthy minds is graduating kids who aren't so stressed that they can't enjoy a beautiful piece of music or have a conversation with a friend who's struggling.
This fall, CSW students will also be able to take a Karuna course on the history of nonviolent movements. CSW already offers around 300 unique courses; why add this one?
Tucker: We want more classes that talk about peace and equity. We're trying to make it more holistic while also thinking about where our students' interests lie. We are working on it, especially across disciplines.
Moulding: We already have two days in our curriculum [set aside for] diversity day and social justice day. [This] wasn't us thinking, "Oh, they could make something happen that we're not doing." [Karuna can] help build what we're already doing and make CSW known for those programs.
Beyond the Karuna classes CSW students will be able to take, the partnership might also produce a mindful parenting course. Why bring that to CSW?
Moulding: A huge part of the role for a good, small independent high school is life skills. Families are hungry [for those skills] in our complex, troubled world. In the news recently, [there's] sadly been a number of suicides in the Newton public schools. What happens when you read about that stuff? What do you do as a parent? A mindful parenting class] aligns with what we like to do here.
Hallstrom: I think there's awareness about the need to address the teens' stress levels. At the same time, parents are saying "What about me?" The parents want to have these skills as well. They want continuity at home.
CSW has plans for a new building on campus, and there might be space for the Karuna School there. What are your long-term goals for the partnership?
Moulding: It's a new health and fitness center [with a] meditation space [and] a yoga room. If this program develops the way we hope it will, we could see it housed in that building. The health and wellness piece is the most all-encompassing piece of what Prajna {Hallstrom} or anyone who followed her would offer.
Hallstrom: I think [CSW] is the perfect place for us. Students there have a deep sense for wanting to make a difference in the world. I think it's so wonderful that having their students acquire these SEL [tools] is a priority for them. We're extremely excited because they have the school and the facilities; we have the curriculum.

"Metal is everything," says Mark Cutler, chief designer for nousDECOR. Cutler, who has worked with Jennifer Lopez and Steve Carell, says that shiny brass is making a comeback in Hollywood.
Beverly Hills designer Ryan Saghian agrees. "Right now, it's all about accentuating with brass," says Saghian. Look for it in fixtures, home decor, lighting and even wallpaper!
"Black rooms are a huge trend," says Cutler. "Black is being used everywhere… even on house exteriors!"
Image: Zillow
If black is too extreme for you, then think blue. "Bring the alluring melancholy of deep indigo into your home with saturated hues and velvet upholstery," say the experts at Dot&Bo. "Capture the essence of a world at dusk with the help of dark woven lampshades, and bring a brooding energy to your interiors."
More: 13 Animal decor accents that aren't tacky
Wallpaper is taking over. Homeowners are papering accent walls, ceilings, furniture and entire rooms with out-of-this-world prints and patterns.
More: 17 Fun wallpaper designs that prove this trend is back and better than ever
Image: RyanSaghhian
"Opulence is back," says Cutler. "Not just luxury, but over-the-top crazy, gaudy glam." Think Liberace.
"People are finally rediscovering that a front yard can actually be used and not just looked at," says artist and designer Pablo Solomon. "They are creating interesting, comfortable and surprisingly private areas in their front yards and returning to the mid-century neighborhood pastime of watching the world go by from the comfort of a front porch or lawn chair."
More: 10 Sofas you can actually put on your front porch
Large-scale florals are hot right now, according to the experts at Laura Ashley. Replace geometric-patterned drapes and upholstery with big flower prints and mix with stripes and other patterns for a French-inspired look that's just now making its way to the States.
Image: Darryl Nobles for Alena Capra Designs
"The coolest decorating trend is the inclusion of the ceiling in the concept," says interior designer Arthur Rooks. "Although the ceiling has been decorated in homes since the Renaissance, most of us have never considered the idea of viewing the ceiling as the sixth surface in a room." The design doesn't have to be tedious or expensive — simple paint or wallpaper will do!
"I wallpaper a lot of the ceilings in my projects to give a dramatic accent," says south Florida designer Alena Capra. "I typically use wallpaper with metallic hues for a nice reflection of light."
"Of course, sustainable is big," says Solomon. "A growing part of that trend is the reuse of materials and the refunctioning of what were once thought to be only industrial throwaways." Like dordesign's amazing floor coverings, ottomans and director chairs created from recycled billboards.

Dave Van Ronk
"Dave Van Ronk" (June 30 1936 – February 10 2002) was a folk singer born in Brooklyn, New York, who settled in Greenwich Village, New York City, and was nicknamed the "Mayor of MacDougal Street."
Dave Van Ronk
He was best known as a pioneer of the acoustic blues revival, but his work ranged from old English ballads to Bertolt Brecht, rock, New Orleans jazz, and swing. He was a pioneer of instrumental ragtime guitar, as well as an early supporter of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, among many others. Van Ronk was very influential on the music scene in New York City in the 1960s.
Van Ronk moved from Brooklyn to Queens in 1951 and began attending Richmond Hill High School. He had been performing in a barbershop quartet since 1949, but left before finishing high school, and spent the next few years bumming around lower Manhattan, except for shipping out twice with the Merchant Marine.
His first professional gigs were with various trad jazz bands around the New York area, of which he later observed: "We wanted to play traditional jazz in the worst way...and we did!" The jazz revival didn't take off though, and Van Ronk turned to performing blues music he'd stumbled across an...

This flourishing new market is presenting companies with incredible opportunities to make a profit, but with the industry fast-moving, it's vital that you make the right business moves if you want to get ahead of the rest. Here are a few key tips and pieces of advice that will enable you to capitalize with fidget spinners buy creating a wholesale account.
Why buy wholesale

Finger spinners are in extremely high demand at the moment, and when you buy in bulk you can make whopping savings that will help balloon your profits.

Why you should avoid buying fidget spinners from China
China may have many very attractive hand spinner wholesale deals out there, but there are a few reasons why you should be very vary of buying fidget spinners from the region. They all boil down either poor manufacturing or poor customer service – and both can easily be avoided.
Historically, China has been known for its cost-cutting measures which have allowed the country to produce more for less – hence why so much comes from China nowadays. Nowhere are these glaring issues more apparent than in fidget spinning.
While smaller US-based independent companies and, indeed, the bigger US companies put a lot of care and effort into producing high-quality durable finger spinners, you'll find none of this with Chinese spinners. The bad manufacturing can result in an unbalanced spinner which will feel wobbly and not spin for as long. Cheap bearings are also prone to getting dirtier more quickly, a problem inherent with all spinners, but worst with low-grade ones.
And unfortunately, these substandard products usually end up slipping through the net due to the bad quality control systems in place in China. Without stringent checks from manufacturing companies, it's inevitable that many bad batches are going to end up on the market. Furthermore, a lot of the finger spinners made in China are often direct rip offs of those made in the US and elsewhere.
It is your customers who will suffer most from a bad product, but the sub-par customer service will hit you and your company directly. When you buy finger spinners wholesale from China, you're often left in the dark about how long it will take you to get your stock. It is common for communications to dry up for several weeks, leaving your questions unanswered and you waiting. Some companies are up front about the long delivery times, although others will string you along.
Even if you do eventually get what you've ordered, imagine if there's an error – by the time you finally get started, you'll have wasted not just weeks, but months. That saving you thought you were making could end up costing big.
Why you should stock fidget spinners in your store
Right now, everybody wants to get their hands on a fidget spinner, so what better move to make than to start stocking them in your store? The beauty of these toys is that they are so cheap, even people who aren't totally into them will consider buying them just out of curiosity. And fidget spinners are becoming collector's items too – fans don't just stop with one! So if you can stock something in your store that's a little different to the rest, the chances are that it'll fly off the shelves!
Types of fidget spinners you could stock
The fidget spinner market is very diverse, so you have plenty of options when it comes to deciding stock. If you just want to sell fidget spinners on the side or as a novelty item in your store, then the budget, plastic spinners will probably be best. These are very cheap and more likely to be bought by those who have heard about fidget spinning, and just want to spend a few dollars to discover what it's all about.
If you're building a fidget spinner company, then you should think about stocking metal and wooden fidget spinners too, where you'll be able to create bigger profit margins.
Final thoughts
The fidget spinner wholesale market is certainly an area that you should consider moving into, and fast – in fact, striking while the iron is hot is vital. We're currently in a phase where finger spinners are enjoying unprecedented popularity, and they are never going to attract as much attention as they are doing right now. The publicity is also extremely positive.
Most importantly, however, if you do choose to invest, make sure you do it properly. Buying great products from a trusted name is going to pay dividends in the long run, unlike if you go for obscure brands from China. Having great communication with a company you know will continue to provide you with high quality fidget spinners on time every time is invaluable, and allows you to prioritize your time and make your business a success.

Meningovascular syphilis
Vascular neurosyphilis may involve any part of the central nervous system. The common denominator is infarction secondary to syphilitic endarteritis. The process is almost invariably a meningovascular one, stemming from the chronic meningitis that underlies all forms of central nervous system syphilis. In the series of Merritt et al., 10% of patients had this form of neurosyphilis. This disease usually occurs 5-12 years after initial syphilitic infection, which is earlier than the occurrence of paresis or tabes, and most patients are 30-50 years of age. Cerebrovascular neurosyphilis may occur concurrently with, or progress to, general paresis or tabes and may be accompanied by Argyll Robertson pupils in the absence of these complications.
Symptoms and signs
The most common manifestation are hemiparesis or hemiplegia (83% of cases), aphasia (31%) and seizures (14%). Among 241 patients with neurosyphilis studied at the Medical College of Virginia, adult-onset seizure disorders were prominent in 24%. The most common involvement , by far, is the territory of the middle cerebral artery, but any other artery on occasion may be occluded.
The onset of symptoms may be abrupt. However, about 50% of patients have premonitory symptoms of headache, dizziness, insomnia, memory loss, or mood disturbances lasting for weeks or months, probably consistent with diffuse arterial involvement. Psychiatric manifestations (personality and behavioral changes and slowing of mentation and speech) may be so prominent as to suggest the diagnosis of general paresis initially, until the onset of a stroke syndrome.
Laboratory findings
Serum RPP is positive in meningovascular syphilis. The CSF VDRL test is positive in most but not all cases, and there is a lymphocytic pleocytosis in the CSF. Angiographic changes include diffuse irregularity and "beading" of anterior and middle cerebral arteries and segmental dilatation of the pericallosal artery. In contrast to the short, irregular sites of atherosclerotic disease, the areas of arterial narrowing in cerebrovascular syphilis tend to be longer and smoother. Vascular neurosyphilis, rather than atherosclerosis, is also suggested when angiographic changes occur in the supraclinoid portion of the internal carotid artery and the proximal portions of the anterior or middle cerebral arteries, in the absence of stenotic changes at the carotid bifurcation. Computed tomography (CT) shows low density areas with multifocal infarctions. Magnetic resonance imaging shows focal regions of high signal intensity on T2-weighted sequences, compatible with foci of ischemia.
Pathologic changes
The characteristic histologic changes of the arteritis of cerebrovascular neurosyphilis consist of infiltration by lymphocytes and plasma cells of the vasa vasorum, the adventitia, and, ultimately, the media of large- and medium-sized arteries. Occlusion of the vasa vasorum results in destruction of the smooth muscle and elastic tissue of the media. Concentric proliferation of subintimal fibroblasts narrows the lumen progressively until it is occluded by thrombus formation.
Diagnosis and differential diagnosis
The possibility of meningovascular syphilis should be considered when cerebrovascular accidents occur in a young adult, especially one who has none of the usual risk factors such as uncontrolled hypertension or findings suggestive of embolic cardiac disease. In the older age group, the diagnostic problem is compounded by the greater likelihood of coexisting cerebral atherosclerosis, which may also be responsible for a stroke, even though the patients has, e.g., meningeal (asymptomatic) neurosyphilis.
Differential diagnosis includes other causes of stroke syndromes such as hypertension (lacunar strokes), atherosclerotic vascular disease, cerebral emboli, or various types of cerebral vasculitis. Angiographic changes in cerebral vessels in systemic lupus erythematosus may be indistinguishable from those of syphilitic arteritis, and those in polyarteritis nodosa may be somewhat similar.
