Zeta - Deep-Reflecting Reflectors
These deep-reflecting reflectors are made of special material that provides a maximum level of reflection in the PAR spectrum. The Beta reflector is an addition to the reflector range for the 1000W fixtures; the Zeta is for 600W fixtures. These reflectors are designed so that the light penetrates into the crop even better, more efficiently, more evenly and more deeply. They are particularly suitable for square patterns that are being used increasingly in horticulture, particularly in combination with high light levels. The reflector does not have a great degree of dimensional stability. For this reason, it is fitted in a reflector bracket.

Want to turn your tablet into a productivity machine like a PC or Mac? There's no need to give up power and flexibility just because you're working on a less-expensive, portable device. Here's how to do it.
Get the right tablet
If you want your tablet to be a true productivity machine, you need to make sure you first buy the right tablet. That means a good sized screen, and enough power to run what you want. So avoid smaller tablets like the iPad Mini and the Google Nexus 7 in favor of full-blown ones. The iPad is a good bet, of course. For Android tablets, the Google Nexus 10 is a great deal. And the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is also a solid bet, because it also comes with a stylus. As for Windows, the Dell Venue 11 Pro, and the Surface 2 or Surface Pro 2 are good choices.
Get the right keyboard
Those most obvious problem with tablets when it comes to productivity is how difficult it is to type using onscreen keyboards. So get a keyboard. Logitech's Bluetooth keyboards, the Easy-Switch Keyboard K811 and the Illuminated Keyboard K810 are good choices. Fellow ITWorld blogger Kevin Purdy also recommends the The Adonit Writer Plus for iPads. For the Surface, the Touch Cover 2 and Type Cover 2 are great keyboard-cover combos. I'm a particularly big fan of the Type Cover 2.
Get the right apps
Just because you're using a tablet doesn't mean you can get full-blown productivity tools, notably office suites -- and you can get them for free. One of my favorite iPad suites for Office is HopTo. (For more details, see Wow! This free iPad productivity app will make you forget Office exists.) There are plenty of other excellent free office suites, as I outline in my blog Who needs Microsoft Office? 7 great free office suites for PCs, Macs, iOS and Android. QuickOffice is great for iPads and Android tablets, and Polaris Office is a very solid suite for Android.
Live in the cloud
Tablets typically won't give you enough on-board storage for all your files. But in today's cloud-based world, that's not a problem, because cloud services such as Google Docs, Dropbox, Box.Net, Evernote, and SugarSync give you plenty of storage. If you go that route, an even better bet is to use tools that manage multiple cloud-based services. Check out my blog post "5 great free tools to manage all your cloud storage" for all the details. ZeroPC is a favorite as are doo, hojoki, Primadesk, and the Chrome extension Cloud Save.
Tap remotely into your PC
It's not likely that you'll be able to give up your PC forever. So you'll want to be able to tap into it via remote control software. There are some excellent free choices out there for iOS and Android tablets, including TeamViewer, Chrome Remote Desktop, Splashtop Remote Desktop, and VNC.

Inside the BPA Group at Forrester, we conducted a little experiment. I suggested that we should collaborate on a piece about the Pega acquisition of Chordiant. What followed was a large number of email exchanges. I drew the short straw in bringing all these thoughts together into a coherent whole. I prepared a document for Forrester clients to explore the acquisition in detail (probably getting through the editing process next week some time), and this blog post is culled from that document. So while the blog post bears my name, it reflects the collective opinions of Connie Moore, Bill Band, Natalie Petouhoff, John Rymer, Clay Richardson, Craig Le Claire and James Kobielus. Of course, I have put my own interpretation on it too.
Pega definitely wants to be in the customer experience/customer service business, and they want to get there by having a very strong BPM offering. It is not that they are moving away from BPM in favor of Customer Experience – they're just strengthening their hand in CRM (or CPM as they would call it), more forcefully making the connection. We already knew this, but the Chordiant deal just reinforced that point (see related research doc from Bill Band in 2005 !!). This is not a new direction or change in direction for Pega, it is a strong move that takes them faster in the direction they were already going.
From a product point of view, Pega are adding/strengthening their hand – Choridant's marketing automation and predictive analytics seem to be of greatest interest. Of course, Pega also values the engineering talent that Chordiant has, and will redirect those people over time to work on integrating these capabilities into the BPM offering. They were also interested in the vertical industry and functional expertise that Chordiant had to offer.

As some of you may already be aware, I joined Forrester Research a little over a month ago. Some will wonder why, after many years of plowing the independent field, I decided to join the competition. Well, I don't feel I have joined the competition.
I know it sounds a little sickly, but I feel like I have finally come home. I got so used to working by myself, I forgot what it was like to have colleagues. I really came here to help build a business that caters for the needs of Business Process Professionals. I have known Connie Moore for about 17 years and we have been erstwhile collaborators throughout that time. Clay and I had been exploring partnership opportunities before he joined Forrester.
My first experience inside Forrester was to attend "Starting Blocks" - a 3-day program where the Executive Team come in one at a time, to meet with all new employees that had joined the organization since the last program. What a fantastic eye-opener that was. Here we had the thinkers and strategists sitting down and engaging in a dialogue - exploring what they were doing and listening to feedback - quite an unusual behavior, and a reflection of the culture of the organization.
Now I work in Connie's team, bringing my own perspectives and capabilities - complementing the skills already here. My research focus could be summarized as follows:
"I am specializing in the methods, approaches, frameworks, tools, techniques and technologies of Business Process Management (BPM), Business Process Improvement, Business Transformation and Organisational Change; with a special emphasis on an outcome-based, customer-focused approaches."

Fatbanking: Freezing Liposuction Fat for Future Use
Princess 19 on 13 Nov 2012 at 4:00pm
Exactly how to get rid of a "muffin top" - that extra inch of fat that insists on spilling over pants - is a dilemma of its own. But, what to do with it once it's gone? An Orlando doctor has one option - store it.
Yes, you read right. Plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Hartog has actually invented a "fat bank" where you can store body fat removed from liposuction for future cosmetic surgery procedures. Fat transfer procedures such as transferring to the eyes, breasts, or butt have steadily gained popularity and can do everything from restoring lost volume to filling in a crease or irritating wrinkle.
According to an Orlando Sentinel article, cosmetic surgeons who perform fat transfer surgeries normally transfer the patient's fat immediately after removing it through liposuction - most times, even within an hour of removal.
"Having their fat in the bank would allow patients to draw on it later, when they want to plump up body parts that have succumbed to age," said Dr. Hartog.
He added that he "will present it as an option to any patient having liposuction."
According to the company's website, the act of storing the fat is referred to as "Lipobanking." The fat is harvested and stored in the world's first on-site StemSource fat mini-bank at the adjacent AdreCyte Regenerative Medicine and Surgery Center, a state and federally certified ambulatory facility.
"Fat banking takes this [procedure] to a whole new level," said Dr. Hartog.
"We put the patient to sleep once. Do the lipo. Get the fat out once and have as much as we need for later injections."
Apparently, the stored fat can be used for procedures in the long-term future – we're talking years.
According to Dr. Hartog, the cost to store 250 to 300 cubic centimeters of fat, which would fill a coffee cup, is $900 for the first year and $200 a year after that.
But, as all "too good to be true" things in life, there are opponents of this practice.
Boston vascular and plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Del Vecchio is one doctor skeptical of the procedure. He's studied fat transfer procedures in depth.
"Animal data shows that frozen fat doesn't hold up as well as fresh fat," said Dr. Del Vecchio.
He claims storing fat in a bank is "a logistical nightmare. There are better solutions."
As with all human tissue banks, there always runs the risk of using the wrong fat, which could have potentially fatal consequences.
He says the practice of using fresh fat is the safest.
"You only need 30 to 50 cc's for a facial procedure. You can always find that somewhere on a woman's body. And that's the best bank of all."
Assuming it works as well as Dr. Hartog says, storing fat could be helpful if you think you'll be fat-free in the future and want fat fillers. If you're having lipo now it could save you from going through it again -- but it comes with a sizable monthly price tag.
And people thought storing sperm was crazy back in the day.…
What would you do – use a bank or go back under the knife?

Have Fun and post pictures, Richard
Making Progress - Thanks for all the info so far....
OK. I am a little jealous. Sounds like you have fun times ahead. I look forward to reading your progress through the summer. Fair winds....
Making Progress - Thanks for all the info so far....
Not exactly new to the forum or sailing. Kind of been a free rider in both aspects. Just registered but have read a lot of posts regarding boat selection. A wealth of information for which I am grateful.
As for myself a little background, my wife and I grew up sailing Ohio lakes Sailfish, Sunfish, Rhodes Bantam etc. Did a cruise in BVI in 1974 on a 37 foot Irwin Ketch. First time I flew at the age of 16...as an aside, both my kids flew by 16 weeks. In any event the bug bit and I was able to get a fix by sailing with in-laws who had a Morgan 30 and sailed out of Beverly MA, San Diego, and eventually Mystic.
A year ago I took a sabbatical (extended indef.) and wife followed suite. We are lucky enough to have access to house and dock in Mystic and so started sailing again on our own, ASA schooling out of Corpus Christi and Hunter 36 share out of Mystic. Dock is in "skinny water" so we were looking for something that would fit and could do the east coast run to Bahamas and perhaps a passage or two. Under 4 foot draft, selection process narrowed down rapidly and in the end looked at Krogen 38, Island Packet 31, Holby Clearwater 35, and Bristol 35.5.
Not keen on the Island Packet 31 and while we liked the Krogen 38 it was just a little to odd and large and round, also was impressed with Clearwater 35 but they only made 7 so....passed on that as well and bought the best Bristol 35.5 we saw, Moonraker out of West Islip.
Had her surveyed last fall and left her stored on hard but had to move her early this spring. Sailed her out Fire Island Inlet around to Mystic with short nap/lunch stop in Block Island mid April. So far so good. Sailed her double reefed in 20-22 gusting to 26 and she was rock steady. Didn't point to well as only had a smidgeon of headsail out on an old Hood Sea Furl II roller-reefer. We surfed down 6 foot swells doing 7.5 knots. Looking forward to getting better acquainted this summer. Have numerous projects to investigate and implement but for now really looking forward to spending some time on the water this summer.
I will be seeking any and all advice regarding a short list of projects and hope to contribute as well in time. Thanks again you all have been a great deal of help already.
Cheer Keith

Playhouse the latest building block at Southside
Author: Tammy L. Lane • First Posted: Monday, December 12, 2011
Carpentry students can build career skills and strong friendships as they build structures in class at Southside Technical Center. One of their latest efforts is an 8-by-8-foot playhouse.
"It has the same components you'd see in any home – it's just on a smaller scale," said instructor Eric Highley, who is in his second year at Southside.
He tapped seniors Jake Newton and Andrew Watts to take the lead on this project, which has run from blueprint reading to framing and roofing.
"More or less, I just give it to them. If they have questions, I answer the questions. They'll get to finish it all," Highley explained.
And if the teens hit a rough spot, they simply sort it out as a team.
"That challenges the students to work together and think together and do the math and figure out the problems ahead of time," he said.
Some wrinkles, such as this fall's rainy weather, cannot be helped. Jake and Andrew started on the playhouse in October but still need to install the windows and doors and paint the exterior.
With three years of carpentry experience, both boys had done flooring and walls before. Rafters and roofing with cornices and shingles were new experiences, along with building a front porch.
"Before we ask for help, we talk it out first. If we're not sure, we go and ask Mr. Highley to double-check," Jake said.
Highley estimated the model playhouse cost about $1,500 to build. When it sells, the money will go back into the school's coffers to buy more carpentry supplies and materials.
"We've put our practice to work to make something for someone else," Jake said. "We'll set the playhouse out front so people can see it and place orders. Then we'll build more and work our way up."
Andrew noted that most of the veteran carpentry students have become good friends during group projects, but the playhouse has involved different dynamics and full immersion every step of the way.
"It's the first project where I've worked with one other person to build something," he said.
"It's been fun working as a group of two," Jake added.
Did you know?
This year, Southside Technical Center opted to divide its carpentry program into first-year and second-year students. Novices cover basic safety and learn to use tools like hammers and saws, while in the second-year classes, safety is reinforced through OSHA lessons that prepare students for a certification exam. With the hands-on work, first-year students start with floors and wall framing, for instance, while their more experienced peers build trusses for storage sheds and concrete forms for foundations, piers and columns for commercial applications.

Ray & Carol Motel? Fountain of Youth Spa?
Posted in the Salton City Forum
#1 Jun 16, 2008
When we were exploring the Salton Sea earlier this year, we saw a place that looked interesting, called the Ray & Carol Motel. It was for sale. Does anyone know if it sold, or how to get pics of it? Is it possible to stay there now?
Also, what about the Fountain of Youth Spa? I would like to know if that is a nice place too.
There are very few ratings on the internet for Salton Sea lodging and current info is hard to find.

Fountain of youth is on the other side of the Sea. Call the Chamber of Commerce at three nine four four one one two and ask about pics, motels and such or you can email them at [email protected]
Hope that helps

Thank you Imari.
Are you the lone ambassador for the Salton Sea? ;-)
I wish it wasn't so hard to get information on where to stay. I am fairly good at searches and there is very little information out there.

Hi again,
I have been trying to get information on Ray & Carol's Motel but no reply, no website. Is it still open for business???
#5 Nov 11, 2008
So can anyone quit arguing long enough to help someone visit the sea? Or is the best advice to spend my lodging money in Borrago?

Thank you for the information, Imari. I've thought about it and it seems strange to call a realtor to try to book a hotel room.
We try to support local businesses but sometimes it just doesn't work out. I've called their number a few times and no answer, no callback.:-(

Sea info,
Unfortunately the local Chamber of the West Shores seems to be to embroiled in personality conflicts to pay attention to their business!
Thus PROMOTING THE WEST SIDE OF THE SALTON SEA!
Sad, but true.
You are right. Finding any viable information promoting the Salton Sea or in particular the WEST side of the Sea is lacking. There is a tremendous amount of information here just waiting to be told -- unfortunately it, evidently, can't be found at the Chamber of Commerce.
Talking to the local realtors or the West Shores Salton Community Services District employees will provide you with a great more amount of knowledge than the current West Shores Chamber of Commerce. Even local residents will give you more favorable information.
I always try to promote any entity on the West Shores, but the current PERSONAL vendetta existing within the Chamber is not even to be considered ADULT, let alone businees-like!
I hope they will eventually work things out and then provide the information to the public that they are entrusted to do.
For the good of this community, I wish them luck.

There is a closed session of the Chamber December 3 around 4:15PM.
This session is to dicuss certain issues that have come to light, no members shall be allowed in for this meeting,
but I'd suggest if members and residents have issues they can email before November 20th to wscc.secretary @ gmail . com so they can be incuded in the closed session disscusions.
The regular business meeting for the Chamber is December 8th at 5PM that is open to the membership as well as the public, there will be a report read into the record about the Dec 3 closed session then.

Sorry for your loss MooMoo but if there isn't enough customers to support a store then the store will go belly up like a fish die on the shores of the Salton Sea.
I have heard though that the owner of the building (Dennis Rieger)is going to put a small grocery store and a small hardware store in that building. there was a third thing that was mentioned on being put in there but what it was escapes me at the moment.
Again, without the customer base it will be a losing proposition also.

Here on the east side of the lake (North Shore) we will soon have a visitor center open inside the North Shore Beach & Yacht Club. There will also be a small museum, a community center and a juice/sandwich bar.
Also located on the east side is Bombay Beach, Fountain of Youth and Niland.

Ray and Carol's just went up for sale in September 2010. They are asking $225K. It has just four rooms plus the owner's unit. Right next to the campground and boat launch. Not sure if it is currently open. The listing realtor is at 760 three three three 33 5 7.

Ya gotta love end of days speculation; it's safe and so much more fun than the really serious stuff that's going on.
It was "off with their heads" in the bad ol' days in China for the emperor's weather predictors when they were wrong. Drastic, but fitting wun't ya say?
We could try the same thing with the predictors of Armageddon or end times, who are always wrong, and either really believe what they're saying or they're fabulous scam artists.
After reading many of OEN's Tim Cerantola's postings on this, which seems to be one his favorite subjects from which he draws many of his humorous, if not down right funny commentaries.
I'm pretty agnostic on end days theories, except that one day it will all end on Earth -- like in about 7.5 billion years, give or take a bill -- because everything in the universe has life cycles.
Given my end of time druthers, I vote for a comet hitting the Earth, but my head better be its target, because I don't want to be around for the aftermath of the Yellowstone caldera blowing up; Kevin Costner's world of water; or the desperately miserable world of Mad Max.
It's going to be difficult enough to cope with California's long overdue "big one" if it happens in my lifetime, no matter how many earthquake preparedness kits I have -- including one for the mutt.
I figured out how we'll know when the end of days are here so we can do the "kiss our butts good-bye" thing.
It's really so simple and we don't have to rely on bible predictions, the impossible, riddle-ridden quatrains of Nostradamus, the Mayans, the dreamy enlightenments of Edgar Cayce, or any other self-professed prognosticator.
Surprisingly, the answer to this quandary of when the world will end was supplied by none other than the people at the Discovery channels, and they don't even know what a valuable service they did, because my theory wasn't mentioned in any of last weekend's shows when they devoted a couple of days to UFO and USO (Unidentified Submerged Objects) sightings.
The answer lies deep within the beings who inhabit the depths of our oceans and lakes.
G'head, laff
But this is one mysterious sightings I can sink my cynical teeth into.
For millennia people have been reporting seeing mysterious lights and ships diving in and out of the depths.
Those kooks include Christopher Columbus, who documented several days worth of sightings in his ship's log, and the Canadian Navy, which tracked a USO for a couple of days until it finally disappeared.
Assuming that USOs exist and have been visiting or living in our deep seas for ages, I figure the beings who are flying them are pretty smart.
Smart enough to avoid real, trackable detection, pretty much avoiding the paparazzi and are definitely savvy enough to not have been caught, because they know damn well what will happen if they are caught by Earthling idjuts.
They'll be killed and dissected. Heaven forbid we should try to make nice and maybe learn something from them.
For all we know they were here long before us, and if they really exist, so far their intentions appear to be benign, because we can't pin any mischief on them.
Well maybe the pyramids, the mysterious art work high in Peruvian Andes that can only be seen from the air, or the heavy-weight statues on Easter Island.
Their existence could explain a lot.
Also, their avoidance of inter-action with us it another sign of their highly developed intelligence.
I'm mean, if you were a space alien, would you really want to bring one of us home to meet the parents?
Written in man-made stars
Here's how we figure out the exact end days date.
In addition to the hundreds of satellites we have circling the planet along with all the space junk that's destined to fall on our heads someday, we form a web of spy satellites to do nothing but monitor the oceans and lakes.
When we see the hundreds of USOs leave the safety of the watery depths for universal points unknown, we'll know it's not safe to stay here, and we should duck, run for cover and kiss our asses bye-bye.

[REACTION] Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque says the key to his team's 1-0 win over Germany was that the Germans didn't
put his team under pressure. He went on to say the Germans weren't as good as expected.
"Today we weren't pressured as much as we were against Paraguay and Chile," said Del Bosque of Spain's two previous opponents in the knockout phase. "I think that if we're comfortable with the ball, we don't suffer. Those other teams made us suffer a lot, closing us down, pressing and not letting us play."
Del Bosque says his players are to be credited for shutting down the high-scoring Germans.
"We can say that Germany wasn't as good as we'd expected, but that's thanks to the excellent work of our team," he added. "We were better than them in the overall count and we played the way we like to play."

McDonald's delivery in Pittsburgh? UberEATS McDelivery now available
"McDelivery" will launch at 44 locations in the Pittsburgh area, with UberEATS charging a $5 flat fee for restaurant-to-door service.
Much like the telenovela that blared overhead at the restaurant, Munch's quest to eat at Bea's was fraught with drama, excessive hand-gesturing and perhaps a little something lost in translation.
I had heard that Bea's was often closed when Google indicated it would be open (Monday evenings) — but sometimes open when you'd expect it to be closed (late Saturday night). And I passed by often to find a darkened facade.
Determined last week, I went at Sunday at 7 p.m., since Google said they'd be open until 8 p.m. No bones. Famished, I knocked. And then knocked again. And then waved my arms around until a woman inside doing prep work finally wandered out, puzzled.
"I'd really like to come to your restaurant," I explained breathlessly, "but I never know when you're open."
"Tomorrow," she promised, they would be open until "8 or 9 p.m."
Monday, another trip across the Birmingham Bridge and another darkened facade. Thursday, finally, a couple of friends and I hit the taco jackpot at around 7 p.m. The dining room wasn't well-lit, but an electronic "OPEN" sign beckoned us in.
To the back register we wandered, where a woman — who appeared to be the only one working the restaurant — cooked over a small grill behind the counter. "El Corazon Indomable" ("The Ungovernable Heart," which, surprisingly, is not about the shutdown of the federal government) played on a mounted television overhead.
The menu is fairly streamlined and even more so on Thursday night, when the woman said they were only serving tacos. The delicious-sounding caldo de res (Salvadorian beef stew) was only served in the morning, she explained.
Bryan started off with the chorizo taco, and I with the al pastor (pork marinated with pineapple) and carnitas (shredded pork). She heated soft corn tortillas on a grill before layering them generously with meat and toppings. All tacos are $2.50, with an added 50 cents if you'd like guacamole.
The tacos were more substantial than most, the meat sitting atop beds of black beans and rice. The shredded pork was nicely tender and moist. I topped it with a mild, tart green salsa, tomatoes and a dab of sour cream. The al pastor was similarly satisfying, with the right amount of sweetness and char on the meat. This one I tried with a smoky, spicy red sauce.
Melissa, who has sampled this city's narrow selection of taco places and got the same pair I did, said Bea's won't rank among her top, especially since "the rest of the city is stepping up its game when it comes to tacos."
Bryan said he thoroughly enjoyed his barbacoa (beef shoulder), chorizo and carnitas tacos, but said he wasn't a big fan of the main filling: rice and beans.
We ordered a shared plate of guacamole and chips ($4) and they arrived at our table ten or so minutes later. The joint's sole employee had sliced up tortillas and fried them for some seriously fresh (and dangerously hot) chips, still glistening with oil when they arrived at our table. The guacamole was smooth and creamy and paired nicely with the scorching hot chips.
Did these tacos steal Munch's heart? Did they snap her from the addictive jaws of her other regular taco joint, Smoke? Not quite, but at $2.50 a taco, it's hard to resist such a bargain.
Bea's Taqueria is at 2212 E. Carson St., South Side, 412-288-8283.

Genuinely, race two was the best touring car race all season. A genuine fight for the win, tactical driving by Plato, and if AJ didn't approve of Plato's antics, it could be seen as payback for AJ's lunge at Brands in the very first round.
Andrew Jordan deserves the championship this year, possibly the most consistent alongside Neal. Keeps his head down, gets on with the job and doesn't keep whinging like the Honda factory boys.

Volunteers Sought for Nationwide Cancer Prevention Study in Northwest Subrubs
American Cancer Society seeks residents interested in fighting back against cancer.
(As an enrollment partner for the upcoming Cancer Prevention Study-3, Northwest Community Healthcare is sharing the below announcement issued by the American Cancer Society.)
Arlington Heights, Ill. – What if you could prevent even one family member from hearing the words, "You have cancer?" The American Cancer Society is seeking cancer fighters in the Northwest Suburbs who are interested in helping to spread the word about the importance of participating in Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3), a historic nationwide study to help researchers better understand the genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that cause or prevent cancer.
A kick-off event will take place on Thursday, September 27 at 6 pm at the American Cancer Society Northwest Regional Office (1114 N. Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights). CPS-3 champions will receive all the information they need to help educate and recruit community members to enroll in CPS-3 this November.
"This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Americans to participate in lifesaving cancer research," said Elizabeth Jablonski Ph.D., director, Research Health Initiatives and Advocacy at the Illinois Division of the American Cancer Society. "We are excited to offer this opportunity for area residents to make an appointment and enroll in the study at their convenience November 13-17. Our goal is to recruit 70 or more CPS-3 champions at each location and enroll a total of at least 500 study participants during this time. In order to reach these targets, we need passionate people who are committed to fighting cancer. While the Society has been conducting these types of studies for decades, their world-class research department can only study new and emerging cancer risks if members of the community are willing to become involved."
Anyone who is interested in becoming a champion is welcome to do so – there is no specific age or other eligibility requirements. There are, however, eligibility considerations for those who wish to enroll in the study. Men and women who are willing to commit to the study must be between the ages of 30 and 65 and never have been diagnosed with cancer. The study will enroll a diverse population of 300,000 people across the United States. To enroll, individuals provide a waist measurement, give a small blood sample and complete a comprehensive survey online or at the enrollment site. Over the course of the study, participants will be asked to fill out follow-up surveys every few years.
"Many individuals diagnosed with cancer struggle to answer the question, 'What caused my cancer?' In many cases, we don't know the answer," said Jablonski. "CPS-3 will help us better understand what factors cause cancer, and once we know that, we can be better equipped to prevent cancer."
To enroll in CPS-3 and complete the online survey, visit
. Participants are encouraged to enroll early.
Northwest Community Healthcare is an enrollment partner. Three dates are being held in November. Click on the link above to learn more.
Whether you are a cancer survivor, caregiver or are interested in honoring a friend or loved one who has battled cancer, you are invited to serve as a CPS-3 champion. To RSVP for the kick off, please call 847-368-1166, press 3. For more information about CPS-3 visit
or call toll-free 1-888-604-5888.

The old one-two, you could call it. Ever since the Tories got clobbered in the Eastleigh by-election, there have been two schools of thought as to what to do next. Some want Mr Cameron to gallop off to the Right and reclaim the territory, and votes, Ukip is thought to have half-inched. Others insist that taking the fight to the Faragists would only encourage them; plus, it would forfeit the centre ground and send Cameron's Tories one step closer to becoming a better-dressed version of the Eighties Labour Party.
These schools of thought mandate two completely opposite courses of action. Naturally, the Prime Minister wants to do both. Hence, the old one-two. Yesterday Mr Cameron made it very clear that there would be "no lurch to the Right". At the same time, as if by coincidence, headlines proclaimed "Clampdown on NHS care for migrants" and "Home Office tops up police pensions by £1 billion", while Justice Secretary Chris Grayling was allowed to affirm to a Tory newspaper that the Government would likely go into the next election pledging to scrap the Human Rights Act.
That last one in particular whacks all the Faragist buttons at once. Human Rights Act law (or "Yooman Rights", as the same wags who talk about "Elf 'n' Safety" call it) is a) associated with Leftie causes such as being nice to gays, women etc, b) regarded as a major obstacle to repatriating asylum-seekers, supposed terrorists and other undesirables, c) seen as a derogation of British sovereignty and d) something to do with the French, or whatever other sort of foreigner it is you get in Strasbourg.
These are all the reasons, I should say, that I like the idea of the Human Rights Act. I concede: it is open to abuse. It sometimes shelters the bad as well as protecting the weak; vexatious cases exist.
But it's a logical nonsense to suggest that because something is open to abuse it is worthless. The banking system is open to abuse. Trust and kindness are open to abuse. Free speech is open to abuse. You could argue that its abuse (and the vexation it causes successive populist Home Secretaries) is an indirect index of its value as a bulwark against peremptory rule.
In any case, if you believe that there exist any human rights that should not be up for negotiation at the level of national politics — let's start with basics, such as not being murdered, tortured or enslaved; we can argue later about "the right to a family life" — it follows that their recognition and enforcement should be international.
So you need the Human Rights Act — or something very like it. The task is to improve it, not abolish it. Taking the axe to it is to fight the battle of Eastleigh: and, Mr Cameron, that is very small beer and that is already lost.
Little nuggets tell a whole new story
A report on the European foreign service, headed by Baroness Ashton, describes it as a shambles: top-heavy, politically inept, mismanaged, demoralised and lacking in elementary diplomatic and language skills. Who carries the can? Is it monoglot, never-elected-to-anything, no-foreign-policy-experience £320,000-a-year Lady Ashton?
One of the report's authors demurs: "We specifically decided not to say too many things about Baroness Ashton so as not to allow the report to be interpreted as a character assassination, which is why we focused on her office instead."
That sounds kindly but isn't. This is the ancient rhetorical figure of occultatio — where you impart information while pretending not to: "We didn't want to say how we rated her in case people thought we were being nasty."
Before he said that, there was at least room for doubt.
Just let the children play
"Children need time to be bored," the Government's chief adviser on childhood, Devizes MP Claire Perry, has said. She argues that our children spend so much time in organised activities — ballet, soft play, kiddie yoga, etc — and are so over-parented that they aren't developing the resources they need to prosper on their own.
Amen to that! Learning to endure boredom is the most important life-skill any adult can develop. It prepares you, above all, for being a parent. You can tell the parents who haven't learned to cope with boredom.
They're the ones who feel the need to fill their empty days by enlisting their children in ballet, soft play, kiddie yoga etc...
Kate O'Middleton? Whatever ...
The Irish tourist board claims to have established that the Duchess of Cambridge has Irish ancestry, and is intending to build a campaign to attract foreign visitors around the idea. That, and the notion that she has an ancestral connection with (of all people) Chris de Burgh.
I don't want to tell these people their job, but really? As reasons for visiting Ireland, "Some long-dead people distantly related to Kate Middleton and the Lady in Red bloke once lived here" doesn't even reach the starting post, especially given the many good and uncontrived reasons to visit Ireland.
"We have Guinness, James Joyce, the Pogues, Sam Beckett and Guinness" would do fine as a slogan. They can have that one on me.

Scene Info
Foreman Vinnie D'Angelo comes in to check on the work of Kai Grant and ends up inspecting Grant closer than his paint job. Grant knows the routine and wastes no time going down on his boss. Grant stands up and offers his large cock to D'Angelo who sucks it for a while then flips him over to open his hole. After finger-fucking Grant, D'Angelo shoves his cock up inside his eager employee. D'Angelo fucks Grant everywhere from a work bench to up against the wall to face down on the carpet, each time increasing the intensity and power behind each fuck session. Finally satiated, D'Angelo stands up and jacks off over the exhausted Grant and both men shoot.

Passenger seriously injured in GA. police chase
FORT VALLEY- A passenger in a car that fled from Fort Valley police early today was hospitalized, while an infant and a 3-year-old passengers were OK, authorities say.
Fort Valley Capt. W.K. Richardson said a police officer attempted to pull Bautista over for speeding south on Ga. 49. The driver refused to stop, and a chase ensued down Ga. 49 and then north on U.S. 341.
Roads were slick from rain, and Bautista pulled away from the officer who was traveling 70 mph, Richardson said. When the officer caught up to the car, it had crashed in a ditch just past the Food Depot on U.S. 341.
"The driver never slowed down," Richardson said.
Richardson said it is not known why Bautista refused to pull over.
When Bautista lost control of the car, it hit a ditch and overturned. It came to rest upright about 345 feet from where the tires left the road, according to the GSP. Alvarado was thrown about 60 feet from the vehicle, Ellis said.
Trooper Crystal Folds, who is investigating the accident, was off duty and could not be reached immediately for comment.

Jan. 24, 2013
CHICAGO - Betsi Burns, who has spent the last two years as assistant dean of students at Northwestern University, has been named Associate Athletics Director and Assistant Dean for Academic Services at Loyola University Chicago, it was announced today by Assistant Vice President and Director of Athletics Dr. M. Grace Calhoun.
"I am elated that Betsi is joining the Loyola Athletics Department," Calhoun said. "Betsi is a key hire for Loyola as the University works to return its teams to national prominence. She is one of the most recognized and respected professionals in her field, and someone whose expertise I valued and often solicited during our overlap in the Big Ten Conference. I want to welcome Betsi and her husband, Darian, and five children, to the Loyola family."
For the last two years, Burns has served as the assistant dean of students at Northwestern, where she advised for over 17,000 undergraduate and graduate students, and was the dean of students liaison to the athletics department.
During her tenure as assistant dean of students, Burns created the Office of Off-Campus Student Life, and developed the voluntary medical leave of absence protocol, among other notable initiatives.
Prior to that post, Burns spent 12 years as the assistant athletics director for academic services and student development at Northwestern, where she was responsible for advising, counseling, academic monitoring, and retention of Wildcat student-athletes competing in 19 sports. Northwestern compiled the highest Academic Progress Rate (APR) in the Big Ten Conference and posted a 98 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR).
Outside of those responsibilities, Burns also coordinated Northwestern Athletics' community outreach initiative and advised the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), among many other duties.
In addition to her duties within the athletics department at Northwestern, Burns also has been an instructor for numerous programs within the University.
A graduate of Purdue University, Burns also earned her master's degree from Northwestern.
