[Blindmath] Blindmath Digest, Vol 39, Issue 5

Hi! It is easy to use Duxbury with Scientific Notebook, a math program that uses Latex. You can make the math worksheet in Scientific Notebook, and then save it as its own document. Then you close the document. Open Duxbury and instead of making a new document choose to Open a document. Choose your Scientific Notebook document to open. You will get a prompt about tex or Latex. Click ok and your math worksheet will open up in Duxbury. It works really well. I use it all the time for my high school students. The Duxbury has to be at least version 10.6 I believe. 
Good luck!

Any help would be great!

National Federation of the Blind Announces Dr. Jacob Bolotin Awards

National Federation of the Blind to Award $50,000 in 2010

<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Baltimore, Maryland
(October 7, 2009): The National Federation of the Blind today
announced that applications are now being accepted for the 2010 Dr.
Jacob Bolotin Award Program.  Each year the National Federation of
the Blind presents cash awards to individuals and organizations that
have made outstanding contributions toward achieving the full
integration of the blind into society on a basis of equality.

Dr. Jacob Bolotin was a blind physician who lived and practiced in
Chicago in the early twentieth century.  He was widely known and
respected in Chicago and throughout the Midwest during his career,
which spanned the period from 1912 until his untimely death at the
age of thirty-six in 1924.  He was particularly recognized for his
expertise on diseases of the heart and lungs.  Bolotin used his many
public speaking engagements to advocate for the employment of the
blind and their full integration into society.

Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind,
said: "Dr. Jacob Bolotin was a pioneer who overcame low expectations
and discrimination to become a renowned member of the medical
profession without the benefit of the support services and civil
rights protections available to blind people today.  He was also a
fierce advocate for greater opportunity for the blind in his time,
and doubtless would have been a leader in the organized blind
movement had he lived to see it come into being.  The Jacob Bolotin
Award Program celebrates his pioneering spirit by recognizing and
supporting outstanding programs, technologies, and individual efforts
that promote independence and opportunity for blind Americans."

Recipients of the 2010 Dr. Jacob Bolotin Awards will be determined by
the Dr. Jacob Bolotin Award Committee of the National Federation of
the Blind.  Online applications are due by April 15,
2010.  Individuals or organizations are encouraged to apply on behalf
of themselves or others.  The award recipients will be announced at
the 2010 National Federation of the Blind Convention in Dallas.  A
total of $50,000 will be distributed to the award recipients.

The Jacob Bolotin Award Program is funded through the generosity of
Dr. Bolotin's nephew and niece, Alfred and Rosalind Pearlman.   In
addition to establishing the Alfred and Rosalind Pearlman Trust to
endow the awards, the late Mrs. Pearlman also wrote The Blind Doctor:
The Jacob Bolotin Story.   The book has been published by Blue Point
Books and can be ordered directly from the publisher at
www.bluepointbooks.com. Proceeds from book sales will also benefit
the award program.  For more information or to fill out the online
application, please visit <http://www.nfb.org/>www.nfb.org.
