Social Security is a proper name and is always capitalized as such, but disability is not part of an official program name. The other proper name associated with SS is Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is the proper name of a program administered by Social Security. (Don't ya just love government stuff?) ;)

It is named after Augustus V. Waller. The word wallerian is not a proper noun. It's the same principle as applied to Parkinson disease when the dictator says "parkinsonism".
I've seen a lot of text books and word books that have wrong spellings in them.

It is not a brand name; therefore, it would not be capitalized. It is a descriptive term for a type of dressing that is wrapped like a burrito.

Subject: Must be a Firefox glitch - or you need to revise your security settings sm
I had Firefox for a while, and it was okay, but I am so accustomed to IE that I went back to it. So I don't remember how similar or different the security options are. But you can try designating MT Stars as a "safe" site, or a site where you "allow cookies"....if you poke around in the Tools/Options settings, you should find something that will alleviate the problem.
Good luck!
