Cancer is a chronic disease that requires more research so that it can be managed. As a result, many governments, as well as entrepreneurs, are investing heavily in cancer research. The research aims at coming up with the cure as well as treatment plans of the disease. Technologies are being developed to analyze cancer tumors and establish most of the cancer causes. Eric Lefkofsky is one of the successful entrepreneurs who has dedicated much of their time and funds to cancer management.
Recently there has been a positive development in lung cancer causes research. A Dartmouth research team was working to determine the environmental and genetic risks factors that cause lung cancer. The study was led by Yafang Li who eventually showed the connection of smoking and gene interaction that cause of lung cancer. The study identified three new lung cancer genetic biomarkers. The three SNPs stratify lung cancer risk by smoking. These SNPs can be potential biomarkers which can be used to assist in the prediction of the treatment plan for lung cancer.
On top of that, other people like Eric have been busy working and investing heavily to help cancer patients. Eric co-founded Tempus, which is a technology company that has built an operating system that helps cancer patients. Eric is the CEO of the company, and with the help of his staff, he has helped many cancer patients by taking care of them. At Tempus they use technology to analyze genomic data using statistical analysis to come up with personalized and precise treatment. The data from the operating is the one that guides doctors in coming up with better care plan as well as specialized treatment.
Eric together with his wife they have founded Lefkofsky Family Foundation. The foundation aims at funding research centers that specialize in cancer causes and treatment. Through the foundation, they have donated $1.2 million to the University of Michigan and $250000 to New York's Weill Cornell Medicine for cancer and breast cancer respectively. On top of that, the foundation has given $500000 to Stanford University which was used to support gastric cancer research.
Eric Lefkofsky has achieved all these through hard work and intelligence. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and holds a Juris Doctor from University of Michigan Law School. Currently, he is a successful entrepreneur in Chicago. His route to success has not been easy. He is the co-founder of many technology companies like Mediaocean, Uptake Technologies, Groupon, Inner Workings as well as Echo Global Logistics.

The man behind the dark frames seems to have a thing for sketching. The designer sent out invitations to the new Chanel show which featured a sketch of Coco Chanel with the words "New Vintage". That leads us to believe that this new collection will bring back specific looks from Coco, but with a new twist. We'll be sure to post these looks as soon as they arrive!
But for now, check out more of his sketches:

McConnell: Fixer or Party Leader?
Our Democratic Readers Who Comment are having a ton of fun this morning with Perry Bacon Jr.'s profile of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
That's predictable. But political stories usually produce a comment food fight, and Republican-sounding comments are hard to find on this story, at least at this point.
Bacon writes that McConnell "is shifting his role from behind-the-scenes fixer to party leader," and recalls that McConnell was once referred to as Darth Vader. Many comments pick up on that theme in addition to overusing the "party of no" label.
We'll start with ndbltwy, who wrote, "I'm sure the Democrats are shaking in their boots. Just like Harry Reid strikes fear in the GOP."
demtse asked, "Darth Vader? Mitch, I know Darth Vader, and you're no Darth Vader. You're more like Wimpy, of Popeye fame..."
COWENS99 added, "Senator McConnell... is no Darth Vader he is "Senator Slow, Senator Stop and Senator Reverse, all in one...If he is the Republican leader of the senate, after 2010 there will be about 20 Republican senators left... All a bunch of old white men who haven't had a good idea since cold beer ."
And kimkimminni1 said, "I'd say that McConnell is definitely a space case and Luke Skywalker would of probably had him evaporated long ago for obstruction of progress..."
Enough of that.
pgr88 asked, "Why can't Democrats come up with anything new? It's always the same old 19th century, knee-jerk, let's-have-Government-take-it-over-from-the-oh-so-evil-Capitalists, Doctors, Traders (fill in the blank). No wonder Americans are seeing through Obama's charade."
To which marecek responded, "The Democrats have come up with plenty new... it's just that your ilk have been petrified by the Rethugs into being against it at any cost without even thinking about it... What should be foremost is what works and what is in the general public interest, not your worn-out and discredited 19TH CENTURY ideology..."
knjincvc asked, "It's a little late to be party leader isn't it? While McConnell sat on the side lines the main street party selected Palin, Gingrich and Limbaugh. What took so long?..."
Tomcat3 said "This article brings one thought and only one thought to my mind: How far the republican party has fallen. There used to be any number of capable republican senators, now there are none. That's why you see blowhards like Limbaugh setting the agenda. And has-beens like Gingrich..."
Realist7598462 wrote, "He, and his kind, are the poster children for what is wrong with congress. Obstruct rather than admit someone else has a good idea; obfuscate for the sake of a sound bite; impede rather than work to resolve. They have forgotten that they work for those that elect them, not those that bribe them."
Bob22003 said, "Senator McConnell is also carefully choosing his battles because he managed only a relatively narrow win [53 to 47 percent] for his Senate seat last year. Mitch got the message that moderation is valued even in rightward-leaning Kentucky."
Anadromous2 wrote, "What a crock! Anyone who's paying attention knows that the Republicans are riding out this half of the legislative session. McConnell and the GOP are keeping their heads down until the Congress comes back in September, and even then the GOP will come back with an agenda that is geared for the usual election year politics..."
losthorizon10 said, "Gee Washington Post, thanks so much for profiling a failed GOP hack who helped drive America into a ditch. We need to read more about these hypocritical, incompetent, corrupt losers..."
fabricmaven1 wrote, "Listening to Mitch McConell, Newt Gingrich, Eric Cantor, is like revisiting The Wizard of Oz. These guys do not realize that "We are not in Kansas anymore". The Curtain has been pulled down and they are exposed for who they are. No ideas. Just the party of No."
SmileySam added, "Anyone who beleives the title of this article just doesn't pay attention to what goes on in the Senate. Mitch has said No to every vote, nomination, cloture, suggestion, or even an order of Danish. The Party of No is alive and well living in the Senate."
tinyjab40 said, "Another old white guy. When I think of the GOP, I think of Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, McConnell, Lindsey Graham, John Boehner and the like. No moderates and no minorities in any real position of power. Steele is just a front who is often attacked by his own party. His presence just underlines what the GOP really is..."
And csfoster2000 wrote, "The Repudiated Republican Party of No is solely focused on hopefully putting President Obama in no-win situations thinking that doing so is a win-win for them when the reality is they are self-creating their own lose-lose scenario for the next 16 years."
We'll close with MPatalinjug, who wrote, "...Senator Mitch McConnell must appear to be wimpy to Republicans. If he says he is opposed to the Obama plan to reform health care, that is only to be expected of him as the Minority Leader. But if he gives the impression that he is on board with the other Obama initiatives, that is where he is at odds with Republicans--and with Rush Limbaugh."

Senator Mitch McConnell is a slick partisan, plutocratic politician who represents the wealthy special interests in Kentucky and the United States. He is a negative campaigner-legislator. McConnell is the Senate's Senator "NO." His recent re-election to a fifth six year term sure doesn't speak well for Kentucky voters. McConnell is not a statesman; he is a consummate politician.

For all of the Hollywood and entertainment hacks that the Democraps have, you would at least think they could come up with something original?
The Kleptocrats were labled the "Party of No" after Al Gore failed to steal the 2000 election.

McConell as Darth vader, makes sense because all republicans remind me of darth vader. Cold, unwilling to allow disagreement and freedom of expression or different opinions.And when you express a different view, they send of their clones, Rush, Newt,Sean and the rest to seek and destroy.Yeah that fits for all republicans.

Big Mike Betting System Review
The Big Mike Betting Site is a daily horse racing and sports betting service offered by a chartered accountant, Mike Marsland FCA. There are three membership options:
a. A one-off payment of £599, equivalent to £49 per month
b. A two month for one offer, paying £59 for first two months, and £69 per month thereafter.
c. A first month half-price membership of £29, followed by the regular £69 per month.
All these options carry Big Mike's 30-day full refund guarantee. (And when an accountant offers a 110% guarantee you know he's for real!)
Payment is via Moneybookers and all major credit and debit cards are accepted.
What does Big Mike offer you for this membership?
Big Mike Betting offers a daily email column, detailing all his bets and sports trades. The email also contains Big Mike's philosophy of betting which could be categorised as a gently cautious but inexorable accumulation of capital. Big Mike is, after all a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, a promotion from a mere Member, and a prestigious title indeed all around the world, involving years of study and practice.
As well as his bets and wisdom, you will have access to all the forums, tutorials, tools and resources; and you will need them, for Big Mike Betting is no ordinary tipping service. In fact, for beginner and expert, the site is a daunting experience at first. You will need all the help and advice provided by the forums and tutorials, because Big Mike has his own unique take on the various bets. All his bets carry names, relating to their structure...for example, the Dunlop is a £65 bet covering various combinations of two horses. (Dunlop 65 for all you golfers out there. No, I didn't know either.) All the betting structures come with explicit instructions on how to place the bet. There is no ambiguity at all in the site, but don't expect Big Mike to be at your beck and call. Mike has two very able assistants to help you (me) through the masses of information. They are both named and approachable. In the following days I shall look at the bets specifically aimed at horse racing, but... as I said, Big Mike also has considerable experience in sports betting.
To sum up my initial thoughts, this is a site of considerable gravitas. Mike Marsland is unique in offering such an outstanding structure wherein the serious punter can profit.
A good place to start with the Big Mike Betting site is Wednesday March 2 2011. Why?
Because this is when Mike gives us his half-term report, as his 'season' runs from September 1 to August 31. His claims are backed up by an independent compiler, and Mike will send you the spreadsheets for the period, so that you can check his figures.I think it's safe to assume that his figures are correct.
Here they are in each section: (to find out what Mike calls his bets, you'll need to purchase the system…more on these later.)
Double Diamond +926
Dunlop +1397
Ali Baba +110
Buzzer +209
Singles +132
Combos etc +429
Hughies +136
Bernie +1628
Rambo +1675
Ringmaster -22
Total Net Profit: +£8,352
Mike emphasises the fact that there is little of excitement here, if by excitement you mean a lucky 20-1 shot followed by a squandering of all the profit and more in the rest of the day's racing. I do not, by the way, criticise that approach; we all need a bit of fun, and surely the act of finding that 20-1 shot is reward enough. No, Mike's approach is a patient build up of finance, drawn largely from our friends, the bookies. The chatroom is always available to all, although its members are not interested in your queries about particular bets; nor should they be. The learning forum is available also, and that is where you find out about Mike's talent to create a value bet for you. And don't forget about Mike's two able assistants!
Big Mike Betting System Review Performance
To document the final record of wins and losses for all the sections of Big Mike's betting portfolio for this review...June 8 2011, with thanks to Mike himself for his patience and good humour.
BHBs: +£1262
COMBOs etc. -£186
Total Net Profit: £4,891
I must say that dealing with this comprehensive and completely original site has been a revelation. Mike's openness to possible customers, his forum's friendliness, and the sheer amount of learning which has gone into this site are truly amazing. A punter who is prepared to work with the Big Mike Betting sections assiduously will make money. And all for £30 per month. Wonderful value! The only caveat I would make is that you will have to be at your computer to fully reap the rewards, so this site isn't totally suitable for daytime workers.

Since coming together in November 2002, the Wentworth Group has been the catalyst for a series of land and water reforms across Australia.
The Wentworth Group's statement in 2002, Blueprint for a Living Continent, sets out what it believed were the key changes that needed to be made to deliver a sustainable future for Australia's continent and its people. It emphasises the need to:
- Clarify water property rights and the obligations associated with those rights to give farmers some certainty and to enable water to be recovered for the environment.
- Restore environmental flows to stressed rivers, such as the River Murray and its tributaries.
- Immediately end broadscale landclearing of remnant native vegetation and assist rural communities with adjustment. This provides fundamental benefits to water quality, prevention of salinity, prevention of soil loss and conservation of biodiversity.
- Pay farmers for environmental services (clean water, fresh air, healthy soils). Where we expect farmers to maintain land in a certain way that is above their duty of care, we should pay them to provide those services on behalf of the rest of Australia.
- Incorporate into the cost of food, fibre and water the hidden subsidies currently borne by the environment, to assist farmers to farm sustainably and profitably in this country.
In 2003, the Group's blueprint, A New Model for Landscape Conservation, was released. It provides a model for native vegetation and catchment management across NSW. It has been adopted by the NSW Government as policy.
In 2003, the Wentworth Group also released its blueprint for a National Water Plan. It outlines solutions for the protection and restoration of fresh water ecosystems, water conservation and the restoration of environmental flows to catchments such as the Murray Darling Basin. It contributed to the development of the National Water Initiative, a historic agreement by the Prime Minister, Premiers and Chief Ministers.
In 2008, the Wentworth Group worked with other scientists, economists and statisticians to develop Accounting for Nature: A Model for Building the National Environmental Accounts of Australia. This model creates an environmental accounting system to measure and track changes in the condition of Australia's environmental assets, at scales that can inform catchment management investments and land use planning decisions. Since 2008 the Wentworth Group has worked with NRM Regions Australia to undertake a regional scale, 'proof of concept' trial of the Accounting for Nature model with the objective of then aggregating this information to create national environmental accounts.
In 2009, the Wentworth Group released Optimising Carbon in the Australian Landscape. It highlights the potential of the Australian landscape to store carbon and contribute to Australia's emission reduction targets. It shows that with the correct institutional settings, a carbon offsets market has the potential to also restore degraded landscapes across Australia. Many of these recommendations have been incorporated in the Carbon Credits Act 2011, and also in government policies.
In 2010, the Wentworth Group produced an analysis of the options for achieving Sustainable Diversions in the Murray Darling Basin. It identifies the scale of water reductions from rivers and groundwater systems required within each of the 18 catchments of the Basin, suggested ways to cost-effectively obtain the necessary water, while also assisting businesses and communities capitalise on opportunities and adapt to a future with less water. The Murray Darling Basin Plan was signed by the Commonwealth Minister in November 2012, and is now a legal instrument under the 2007 Commonwealth Water Act. This Plan falls well short of returning the volumes of water that science has shown are required for a healthy river, communities' confidence in government has been shattered, and vast sums of taxpayer's money has been wasted.
In 2012, the Group released a statement on Changes to Commonwealth Powers to Protect Australia's Environment. This statement puts forward proposals to simplify environmental assessment and approvals processes whilst also improving environmental standards. It also recommends that by far the most effective way to manage environment and development is for Australia to develop long-term regional strategic plans to guide land use and natural resource management.
Today, the Wentworth Group is focused on a number of priorities for improving the long term management and conservation of the Australian landscape.
- Landscape Conservation: pursuing comprehensive policies to restore and maintain the health and productive capacity of Australia's land, water and marine resources, and turn around systemic failures in biodiversity conservation;
- Climate Change Science: linking the latest IPCC assessment to Australia's climate change mitigation policy, climate change adaptation and optimising carbon in the Australian landscape;
- Accounting for Nature: completing the regional proof of concept trials and gaining agreement to adopt a regionally based system of national environmental accounts to measure, and track changes in, the condition of Australia's environmental assets;
- National Water Reform: pursuing progress in the Murray Darling Basin Plan and proposals for water development in northern Australia, focussing in particular on returning over-allocated rivers and groundwater systems to sustainable levels of extraction; and
- Science Scholarships: maintaining our investments in the next generation of leading natural resource scientists, lawyers and economists.
The Wentworth Group remains committed to using its combined experience, interdisciplinary expertise and shared values to work with others to improve the long term management and conservation of the Australian landscape.

Who Do You Think You Are? Live, the biggest family history event in the world, kicked off in Birmingham, England over the weekend. We had a fantastic show there, with wonderful lectures from our expert family historians, brilliant discoveries at the Findmypast stand, and the grand opening of the 1939 Tea Rooms!
WATCH the action on our new video channel, Vinemypast!
Scroll down for a taste of the action...
Just minutes after opening our stand was buzzing with curious visitors. There were great talks on offer from our experts...
... which were so popular, there was standing room only by the time they commenced!
Our resident photo detective Jayne Shrimpton was swamped by family historians eager to discover the mysteries behind their family:
... And our 1939 Tea Rooms opened to the hungry hordes:
Our team whole-heartedly embraced the wartime spirit...
...as did the Tea Room's patrons. Our maitre-d was delighted to chat to one showed up with authentic wartime letters!
Everyone was eager to get involved and chat to our glamorous experts:
And the evening kicked off with a fabulous performance of authentic songs by the D-Day Darlings:
Who truly embodied the establishment's patriotic spirit:
A sentiment surely lost on no-one:
And our military expert Paul Nixon was on-hand for those who faced some brick walls around their army ancestors:
While Brian Donovan's talk on tracing your Irish ancestors went down a storm:
And it was great to see so many happy faces after our team helped them get closer to discovering their family's story:
Although our Maitre D' perhaps wasn't prepared for just how hard work running tea rooms can be!

A little Princess
Hello, today I rediscovered my love for the film the little princess after reading the book aloud to my little sister. It is a beautiful film directed by Alfonso Cuaron (also director of HP 3) about a girl who moves from India to an American boarding school. I used to rent it every time I went to my Granny's house and every time I would cry at the end. I strongly recommend you watch it, someone very kind has put the whole film on youtube which I watched today.

There is a need to strengthen the Nordic level strategic and operational level cooperation in the health care field. The Nordic health care systems vary in their service production and operational procedures from country to country, and also the test beds operate with different methods and practices. Moreover, the companies and developers of health and welfare solutions within the Nordic region have indicated that they do not have a sufficient understanding of the needs of the public sector healthcare actors. NoTeB addresses these challenges by joining experiences and know-how of Nordic university hospitals and innovation centres in order to create efficient Nordic test bed cooperation ecosystem and common best practices. The project will run 15 concrete health care product/service idea test cases.
The project will benefit care providers by improving the implementation of their ideas and providing access to shared Nordic tools and guidelines. For Nordic companies, the project offers opportunities to test new innovative products and prototypes in realistic hospital environment, also outside their country of origin. This will speed up development times, decrease development costs and enhance the quality of the products.

Hey everyone! I'm back from a pretty busy weekend at the Towsontown Spring Festival. Whew. I was a vendor at a 2-day show wihch was a pretty cool learning experience.
What I Learned:
1- Arriving early on Day 1 is crucial; arriving early on day 2 is not.
2- So long as you check with security and the opinions of other nearby vendors first, leaving your main structure overnight is actually pretty safe.
3- Just because Day 1 is slow doesn't mean Day 2 will be. (Even in the rain today was a smashing success!)
I have a few other 2-day events coming up this summer; this show really got me pumped up for them!
In other news, yesterday was the first day of May.
To me, May always signifies the start of summer and massive amounts quality time with Cory. May has always been one of my most favorite months, and the coming weeks are looking very promising! Here's what will be happening...
*Today signifies the 4th to last Monday I will have to wake up for work between now and August! Only 3 more to go!
*I'm attending my first Orioles game of the season with a group of college pals this Friday.
*The Kentucky Derby is oh so soon, which means I get to go hat shopping!
*I am spending a nice long weekend in San Francisco with my mother (p.s. if you have any suggested locations or events for us, please email me!)
*My new blog design will hopefully be installed before the end of the month and I am very very excited to share it with you!
*Memorial Day starts the LAST week of school for me! Hooray!
What are you looking forwatd to this month?

How to fit your Physical Activity Belt
Step 1. Register your belt at myzonemoves.com and click on the "Register my belt" button. Further instructions are provided on how to register at this site. Enter the unique MYZONE Activity Belt ID – the 10 numbers following "SN" on the reverse of the belt module eg SN 000000XXXX. You will also need your unique facility code: LIZUS001
Step 2. Adjust your belt so that it fits comfortably across the center of your chest, with the MYZONE logo facing away from your chest. You can adjust the strap size using the plastic adjuster. The belt should be firm or tight around your body, ensure it is comfortable. To set your resting heart rate please wear your belt for 10 minutes prior starting your first activity, You only need to do this once.
Step 3. Just prior to concerted activity it is advised to moisten the 2 black sensor tabs on the fabric strap then connect the plastic module to the fabric strap, you will hear 1 beep to confirm the belt is on. If you're in a monitoring environment and have access to live feed you will hear no more beeps. If your away from your facility you will hear three more beeps to indicate storing has begun.
Step 4. While you are wearing your belt, your data will upload into your account when you are in range of a MYZONE Console. This range will differ from location to location. If you have exercised away from the facility where you received your belt, your data will store on the memory chip. The memory chip will store a total of 16 hours of activity.
Step 5. Each time you return to the facility where you received your belt, your stored data will upload to your online account as long as you are wearing your belt or holding the belt between your thumbs, and within 10 meters of the Console. You will hear 1 (if not already heard) beep to indicate your belt is on, 4 beeps at the start of your upload and 2 beeps at the end of a successful upload. If the upload fails you will hear 1 long beep. In a busy facility it may take several attempts to upload.
Step 6. Further to this you will hear 1 beep if you move out of range of the console. You will also hear 1 beep to single that you have taken off the belt and it has now switched off.
Step 7. Once you have uploaded any activity data, you can view this data at any point by logging into your online account at myzonemoves.com For any more information on using the MYZONE system please look at the FAQs section of your online account via myzonemoves.com.
Medical Guidance. If you have a heart condition, are on medication which affects your heart or have an implemented electronic device (i.e. Pacemaker) consult your physician prior to using the MYZONE Physical Activity Belt. If you feel faint, dizzy or uncomfortable during activity stop and seek assistance.
MYZONE frequently asked questions!

Q: How do you replace the battery in a MYZONE Physical Activity Belt ?
A: The MYZONE Physical Activity Belt uses standard CR2032 lithium batteries. You can change your battery by unscrewing the battery cap anticlockwise on the reverse of your belt module, then fit the new battery into the recess, making sure that the positive terminal (indicated by "+") is facing upwards. Replace the battery cover then screw back clockwise tightly into position. You will hear a long single beep to indicate the belt is reset and working
Understanding Heart Rate Training.
Q: What is Max Heart Rate?
A: Maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate an individual can safely achieve through exercise stress, and depends on age.
Q: How does MYZONE calculate my MAX heart rate?
A: MYZONE uses a formula derived by Londeree and Moeschberger (University of Missouri) to automatically establish your MAX HR based on your age
Max HR = 206.3 – (0.711 x age)
This is based on population norms. If you are able to push your maximum HR past this limit your MYZONE profile will automatically adjust to this new limit. You can also ask your coach/trainer/teacher to adjust your maximum heart rate if it does not appear to be accurate or if you have completed a maximum heart rate test.
Q: Will my MAX heart rate change over time?
A: Your maximum heart rate will reduce as you get older. It will not change aside from this although your ability to maintain a higher heart rate will increase with training.
Q: What is resting heart rate and will my resting heart rate change over time?
A: Resting heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute at rest. It is best to measure this first thing in the morning. As you become fitter your resting heart rate will reduce as your heart becomes more efficient.
Q: How does MYZONE establish my resting heart rate?
A: MYZONE sets your resting heart rate to 100bpm (beats per minute) as standard. When you first register your belt it is recommended that you perform a resting heart rate test. This involves sitting or lying comfortably while wearing your belt for 10 minutes, ideally in the morning. When you next upload your data at the MYZONE Console your resting heart rate will recalculate to your actual resting value. You can also ask your coach/trainer/teacher to adjust your resting heart rate if it does not appear to be accurate or if you have completed a resting heart rate test.
Q: How does MYZONE calculate the 5 intensity Zones?
A: MYZONE uses five colour-coded Heart Rate Zones to establish the effort that users exert based on their maximum heart rate (Max HR). The effort is expressed as a percentage of the user's Max HR.
The five Heart Rate Zones are:
• Grey = 50% to 60% of Max HR
• Blue = 60% to 70% of Max HR
• Green = 70% to 80% of Max HR
• Yellow = 80% to 90% of Max HR
• Red = 90% to 100% of Max HR
MYZONE also allows facilities to establish target heart rate zones taking into account the users resting heart rate. This is known as the Karvonen Formula.
Q: What are MYZONE Effort Points (MEPs)?
A: MYZONE Effort Points (MEPs) are earned based on the effort exerted by the user. Time spent in each Heart Rate Zone earns different numbers of MEPs:
• Grey = 1 MEPs per minute (50 – 60% of effort)
• Blue = 2 MEPs per minute
• Green = 3 MEPs per minute
• Yellow = 4 MEPs per minute
• Red = 4 MEPs per minute
Q: How does MYZONE calculate calories burnt?
A: MYZONE calculates the number of calories burnt by taking into account a number of personal details including your sex, weight and heart rate.
Q: Is it important for me to update my body metrics regularly?
A: Yes. As calories burnt are calculated based on your weight it is important that you regularly update your weight. You can do this either manually in your Personal Health Report or by using approved compatible MYZONE scales. For more information on using compatible MYZONE scales see the "more info tab" within your account under health report.
Q: What's the best way to determine if my fitness has improved using heart rate?
A: By measuring your resting heart rate over a period of time or by repeating an identical exercise session and comparing your average heart rate in your MYZONE Activity report. When your resting or average heart rate goes down your heart is becoming more efficient and therefore you are increasing your level of fitness.
Q: What affects my heart rate response day to day?
A: Many factors affect your resting and heart rate during exercise including the amount of sleep you have had, stress, nutrition, hydration, heavy training, fatigue, adrenaline, competition, and mental focus.
Q: Why is it so important to monitor heart rate and how much effort I am putting in?
A: Knowing what intensity you are working at is essential to ensure you get the most from your exercise sessions and get the results you want. It also assists you to train safely and effectively when not under the guidance of a trainer or coach.


text: Proforma Honors Million-Dollar Producers Recognizes Owners Who Exceed $1M In Annual Sales Mar 20, 2014 – by Counselor Tweet Top 40 distributor Proforma (asi/300094) recognized more than 100 of its owners who are members of its Million Dollar Club during a celebratory trip Proforma hosted last week at the Fairmont Mayakoba in Riviera Maya, Mexico. The group of honorees included 18 new members this year and 40 members who are part of the company's Multi-Million Dollar Club. "It was a great event where we could honor our most successful people," Greg Muzzillo, founder of Proforma, told Counselor yesterday. "Having all of these million-dollar producers in one place was extremely motivating and energizing for everyone." Muzzillo said that as a group, the company's more than 100 million-dollar producers represent about a quarter of a billion dollars in total revenue. "Where else can distributor owners and industry suppliers network with a successful group of people like that?" he asked. "It was great for us to be able to honor these people, and the networking among the group was really impressive." For owners that made the Million Dollar Club, especially those achieving membership for the first time, the trip represented a culmination of a lot of hard work. "Getting that Million Dollar Club jacket put over your shoulders for the first time is an incredible experience," said TC Berry, owner of Proforma TaCaBu in Brookshire, TX. "When I first joined Proforma my sales were less than $200,000. Now, just five years later, with Proforma's marketing programs, back-office support and an incredible vendor network, I've surpassed $1 million in sales." Proforma's Million Dollar Club was launched in 1990 to recognize the company's owners who exceeded $1 million in annual sales. The club now has more than 15 members that exceed $5 million in yearly revenues. Overall, Proforma reported to Counselor that it recorded 2013 North American ad specialty revenues of $348 million, an increase of 8% over 2012. Muzzillo told Counselor yesterday that his growth goal for 2014 is for the company to increase its sales by $100 million. The company's Million Dollar Club trip for 2015 is scheduled for March 12-15 at the Terranea resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.

15 Sep LMI Employees Rescue Woman and Her Child from Accident
About two weeks ago, the Lighting Maintenance Inc. (LMI) service department was called to duty. While on a service call, Andre Clark and Mike Schmidt witnessed a woman and her two year old child get run over by a car. The woman was run completely over along the entire length of her body, including her head. She was alive at the scene. The two year old child was trapped underneath the car.
After witnessing the entire event, Andre and Mike immediately took action. Mike would rescue the child and Andre would direct traffic.
Mike told the driver not to move and looked underneath the car, where he found the child hanging from a bolt on the exhaust system face down, bleeding on the road. Mike immediately crawled underneath the car and rescued the child.
Andre had taken the traffic management under control by routing cars around the scene. He maintained a safe area for the victims and his fellow co-worker.
The child appeared to be fine after the fact. This event took place on University Blvd.

Moods are Symptoms. Look Under the Surface & CONNECT With the Other Person to SOLVE or PREVENT an Outburst Problem.
December 19, 2014
Moods are symptoms. Don't just react. Look under the surface and connect with the other person to solve or even prevent an outburst, tantrum, or other negative behavior.
I talked about this in a previous post, "Pain Is the Root Of Anger, and Why You Should Care" but today I'd like to amplify that by sharing the following post by Rebecca Thompson, M.S., MFT.
Her blog is about parenting, and this post of hers in particular reminded me of when my son was a toddler and he would routinely become annoying, fussy, and troublesome when he was tired. It was an irritating distraction for work-at-home parents. Of course the instantaneous reactionary impulse was to be short with him, tell him to stop being that way, even yell at him. But I wanted to love and help him, not hurt him. I found that all I had to do when he started acting badly, was realize that he had been awake for hours, and then pick him up and rock him on my shoulder. He felt the loving connection and quickly fell asleep. When he awoke, he was always able to behave much better.
For older kids too big to hold or too old for naps, a hug can be just as refreshing–like rebooting a computer which has clogged up and can't function right.
For even older people or those you aren't so personal with, look for a way to give a verbal hug. A kind word, compliment, or some acknowledgement that you are sympathetic.
Meeting and treating on a personal root level works with a person of any age—infant, toddler, teen, adult, and elderly. It can even work with animals.

An INSTANT Breath of Fresh Space in Your Clutter
March 4, 2014
(Please share the illustration from below the text.)
Is living or working in a cramped or cluttered space driving you crazy?
You wish you had storage room to put stuff away, and more organization, and more money and time to make things the way you want them; or maybe you wish you could make some other person clear up their mess which is perpetually in your way. Maybe you'll get that, but not today.
So put all that aside for a minute. Freeze. Take a breath. Today is the day you have in front of you, the day you feel the oppression building, and the day you want to feel great, be productive and radiate happiness. Right now, here's an instant help—a mood and brain pick-me-up…
Stop always standing or sitting in the middle of your space.
At least for one minute.
I know you have to be close to your work to work on it, but being in the middle means your face is close to stuff no matter which way you turn. The cubic free space is also divided into smaller, unnoticed chunks, which visually mix with chunks of stuff.
Stand with your back in a corner or, against a wall or door.
Standing (or sitting) with your back against a corner or wall will allow all the space which is usually around and behind you to meet unobstructed, blending into a relatively large open area; it will also put all that space between you and the stuff that you're tired of looking at.
Do it every chance you get!
Move back against a corner or wall any time you have a minute or more that you're not hands-on with your work, like when you are answering the phone, drinking water or tea, eating a cookie, stretching, deciding your next chore, hugging your child, etc.. Move back and look into the opened-up space.
Don't eat your cereal at the breakfast bar in the middle of the kitchen; eat sitting in a chair off in a corner, facing into the open space you've just walked out of. This will allow you a moment of physical AND emotional relaxation.
Don't eat at the computer. See how much better you feel sitting on the floor with your lunch, on the opposite side of the room. Or try swiveling your chair with your back to your computer, and looking into a different part of the room while you munch.
Surprising additional benefits.
There is a benefit to this idea beyond giving yourself a time-out from feeling claustrophobically overwhelmed with both endless work and ever-growing chaos. You may find that stepping back occasionally to enjoy the space you never knew you had, also calms and resets your thinking enough to let happy new ideas and creative new solutions come to the front of your consciousness. You may see a way to quicken or lessen your workload. Or you may see a less stressful, and more grateful, way to think about things.
Take a literal step back, and a deep breath, and smile—as often as you can.
You may not have enough space for what you want, but now you know how to make your invisible space visible—and that can be a wonderful treat!

Rogga Johansson is not a man known for the tricks up his sleeves. He does death metal. Swedish, old school death metal, to be specific, and with very few exceptions (The 11th Hour, Those Who Bring the Torture and a few more), all of his projects offer only faint steps and deviations on the formula, often as skin deep in variation as those he's collaborating with at the moment. He wears this brutal badge with honor. Many of his works could be seen or heard as approaching the same goal from multiple vectors. He's tried his hands at conceptual work like The Grotesquery or Bloodgut. Carnal, Razorback style fun like Revolting. Primitive acts of pungency like Foreboding or the excellent Putrevore. Then, of course, there is a trio of 'main' bands, those that offer the higher production standards which can run headlong into the other titans of Swedish retro death like Bloodbath or Evocation.
Along with Demiurge and Paganizer, I would consider Ribspreader to occupy that central niche. You already know what it sounds like. Grave, Entombed, Dismember, Unleashed, and the others that shaped generations, with a healthy level of Florida brutality. The guitar tones are as massive as you might expect, and they swerve between choppy, death/thrashing rhythms and dense grooves. Perhaps more so than the previous three albums, The Van Murders really takes its slower strokes to heart, tons of double bass accenting the tank-like force. There are definite parallels here to Bolt Thrower, as in "The Cleaner and Mr. Filth", "Sick Minds Think Alike" and "Slaughterhouse on Wheels", which churn with eternal, warlike force until the more enthusiastic lead breaks, which are well written and almost without exception heighten the experience to something more than the brute minimum.
It's loud, mixed well by Patrick Bruss here in the States. It's also fun, but so weren't the older albums, and a large percentage of what Rogga has recorded. But does Ribspreader do much here to distinguish itself from the pack? I'd argue no. The Van Murders is about the same level of quality as Opus Ribcage or Paganizer's 2009 album Scandinavian Warmachine. Good enough that the diehards of this style will appreciate it for what it is, but Johansson's had a lot of better material out in the past few years (try the Revolting sophomore The Terror Threshold or the past few Demiurg discs). Rogga knows exactly what he's doing here. If there were any living soul who could write the handbook on how to approach authentic, old school Swedish diabolism, it would be him. The audience for The Van Murders is already well in place, and its entertaining for a few spins, but I don't see this as any sort of breakthrough.
Verdict: Win [7/10]

If it has a prancing horse on the front then it's a purebred exotic sports car born out of winning on the rack. But race-ready cars never looked so good. This extremely clean and cool 2001 Ferrari 360 Modena takes all the competition lessons from international victories, and cloaks in it a bold and coordinated package that makes everyone take notice. That's why it has been treated with the meticulous care that this thoroughbred deserves.
The Maranello-applied Giallo Fly Yellow paint looks fantastic, but you already expected that. A car like this doesn't sit outside. Instead it gets the prime space in the garage where lesser cars get kicked out if they have to be parked anywhere close to it. And the few times when this exotic does get to hit the town (there's only 19,173 miles on the odometer) there's a clear protective coating on the front end so those less careful drivers, and rocks in front of you can't hurt this horse. But you fell in love/lust at first sight with the Ferrari for more than just the super-slick yellow. This is a fantastically coordinated package with black wheels that are works of alloy art. They match so nicely with the vents that are used to channel air and cool down this true exotic (even the blacked out rear panel is actually a grille for the motor.) The total appearance matches the Ferrari badgering around the car to give this car true distinction. Plus, you also picked up on aggressive hints of red like behind the wheels, or when you look through the rear window, but we'll mention more of that in a moment.
Ferrari is as much about style as they are about speed, and you are reminded of this the moment you open the door. The impossibly supple black leather seats have yellow stitching to continue the uniform color scheme. These vented buckets with the prancing horse embossed on the headrests will hold you in place like no other when the road gets twisty. Plus, you can power adjust them for the ultimate in comfort. This is a top-dollar vehicle, so it should be no surprise that is comes loaded with great features like power windows, power locks, keyless entry, anti-theft system, AM/FM/CD stereo, dual airbags anti-lock brakes, and air conditioning. Sure, all that's good for keeping you and your passenger comfortable, but really what you love is grabbling that Italian Leather steering wheel and utilizing the paddle shifters to make that large central tach dance.
Driving a Ferrari is an experience like no other, and that's why they are forever the ultimate driver's cars. The original 3.6-liter DOHC V8 is such a work of art that it gets its own glasshouse behind the driver so everyone can view it. One twist of the key, and it comes to life with a frantic and muscular tone out of the Tubi exhaust that seems to shout, "What are we standing still for?!" This 395 horsepower engine loves to sing it's way up to the 8,700 RPM redline like the F1 cars that it's based from. The race-style paddle shifting gives this car lighting quick shifts, so you truly feel like you're in a competition machine. All the details on the 360 Modena have been worked out to maximize performance. There's a smooth undercarriage for airflow; a race-inspired fully independent suspension that sticks to the pavement like glue; and four-wheel disc brakes with large drilled and slotted rotors with bold red calipers. But you already knew a true Ferrari was engineered to be a terrific performance machine. What makes this coupe extra special is that it can also settle into a more quiet everyday functionality when needed, thanks to features like the power steering and the auto mode of the six-speed electrohydraulic transmission.
You already knew you wanted this Ferrari the moment you saw it, and it even comes with all the crucial pieces such as recent service and maintenance records, and the factory toolkit. So, there's nothing stopping you from taking this prancing horse home, except if someone else gets here first. Call now!!

Boston United's deadly duo of Mark Jones and Dayle Southwell netted to sink Worcester City - and keep the Pilgrims very much in the Vanarama North's play-off spots.
"We are going up," sang the Town End as Southwell's 88th minute strike - his 26th of the season - settled the nerves.
The forward finally got his name on gthe scoresheet after a frustrating afternoon where Ryan Boot appeared to block everything the United marksman struck on target.
Jones netted his 11th goal in 12 games early on, but Boston really should have scored more.
With Chorley beating Tamworth 5-0, they leapfrogged the Pilgrims on goal difference, but United remain in fifth with their destiny in their own hands.
Worcester have been a thorn in the Pilgrims' side since they dropped out of the Football League in 2007, City winning seven and drawing two of the 12 meetings prior to kick off.
But today belonged to United.
Dennis Greene made two changes from the side which beat Gainsborough Trinity 2-1 the previous weekend, with Zak Mills returning from injury and recent acquisition Jake Sheridan making his first start.
That meant Grant Roberts and Nicky Walker dropped to the bench while Jake Hall - re-signed in midweek - was not involved.
It took just eight minutes for Jones to head the Pilgrims in front.
Southwell used his strength and turn of pace to create enough space to tee up a cross from the left flank as Jones timed his run to perfection to power beyond Ryan Boot, his 11th goal in 12 matches.
Southwell then had a chance of getting his name on the scoresheet as he bustled his way beyond City defender Anthony Charles, only for Boot to block well with his chest.
Try as he might, Southwell was having a frustrating first half in front of goal as a looping header landed on top of the crossbar... before an even better chance went begging.
Kaine Felix's right wing cross was met at the near post by Jones, whose low strike was saved by Boot.
Southwell's follow-up rebounded off the crossbar before Sheridan blazed the loose ball well over with the goal at his mercy.
It was to be Sheridan's last action of the match as stretching for that ball seemed to have tweaked his hamstring, Walker replacing him on 27 minutes.
Boot again came to City's rescue as he palmed Carl Piergianni's powerful header round his post, United having to settle for the narrowest of leads at the interval.
It was more of the same after the break as Boot got down well to stop Walker's powerful low drive.
City's first real shot in anger followed during the away side's first real period of sustained pressure, but Jay Denny's effort from distance was well wide.
Southwell's frustrations continued when Walker's square ball set him through on goal, but yet another block from Boot kept the advantage to a minimum.
United believed they should have been awarded aspot kick when Jones went down in the penalty area, but the forward was booked by referee Ricky Wootton, who deemed the Boston man had dived.
Yet another chance for Boston to give themselves some breathing space went begging when Walker's strike from Jones' cross rebounded off the crossbar.
That narrow lead ensured things remained nervy for the Pilgrims, and when Daniel Nti met the ball from City's first corner on 83 minutes it was a heart-in-mouth moment for Boston... but the ball sailed over.
But five minutes later the contest was all but over.
Worcester failed to clear their lines and Southwell was presented with his final chance.
This time neither Boot noe the woodwork were getting the better of him.
UNITED: Stryjek, Marrs, Steer, Mills, Garner, Piergianni, Felix, Dixon, Southwell, Jones, Sheridan (Walker 27); Subs (not used): Newsham, Saebe, Roberts, Vince.
WORCESTER: Boot, Rowe, Weir (Sousa 81), Elvins, Denny, Charles, Haynes, Deeney (Dunkley 66), Symons (Brown 58), Geddes, Nti; Subs (not used): Taylor, Sousa, Veiga.
Ref: Ricky Wootton.
Att: 1,357 (36).

This has been on my mind for a long long time. It has been something that has always seemed a stretch too far, unachievable, a far distant delusion of my own making that would forever remain out of reach.
It's time to change that.
Due to the car being out of action right now, we had a walk to our nearest big supermarket. The walk takes around an hour each way so we had plenty of time to chatter. We talked about the beautiful views, about our legs not feeling as tired as we had thought they would, and how much we were actually enjoying the 'chore'. We discussed how we felt about our current lifestyle, how much we adored seeing the children spending time in the garden instead of being glued watching a TV or computer screen, and chatted about what changes we could make - financially and within our lifestyle.
What started off as a general natter stating that we could :-
- bake more, including bread,
- walk more instead of always being reliant on the car,
- reduce our TV and phone package,
- grow our own veg (again) and make more use of wild food sources,
- simplify our life and our home - less material possessions, more memory-making adventures.
This led to what BIG changes we wanted to make. Now, I'm talking big MAHOOSIVE changes here, not just a change of living room wallpaper or the tea we drink. Our choice to become vegetarian seems so small in comparison to this.
Working through it all, it seems everyone is on the same page. We all share the same thoughts. We are all in search of the same dream.
We want a change of home. We want a change of lifestyle.
We offer gratitude for :-
- a house/bungalow/cottage/liveable shack (!)
- land for animals - chickens, goats, maybe a pony (oh please yes, yes a pony!) - and to grown our own food.
To achieve this we will :-
- Create a vision board as a constant reminder to ourselves.
- Raise finances, we will sell many things and minimize our belongings.
- Take with us the absolute minimum. We will start afresh with furniture, upcycling from charity shops, auctions, and car boot sales where possible. The children see this a one big adventure (as long as we can take the X-Box mama....)
We have no preferences on where this dream will take us nationwide. We are open to whatever opportunity comes this way but are aware we are dreaming big - and we love that. For once we are going to make it happen, and I'm going to drag all of you Classroom Free readers along for the ride.
I have put the word out to friends, in real and online, and they are all going to work hard to assist us with our emerging chimera. I was up until the early hours finding networking opportunities online and posting wanted ads in various locations throughout the country. I just know that there is someone out there who is willing and able to see our potential and offer us the opportunity of fulfilment and happiness. In return we will show our gratitude by being faithful tenants, honest and trustworthy, with a need to treat our rented space as if it were our own.
I'm not going into this with rose-tinted spectacles, thinking it is all about lovingly reared friendly animals and home-grown harvests in abundance, all created by a mere smidgen of sprinkled fairy dust. I know it is going to be bloomin' hard work, with numerous sweaty armpits, back-breaking chores and no doubt tears. I've worked in the outdoors and know it's not all hunky dory fun and dancing in the sunshine. I've been up before 5am and mucked out stables in the wind and the rain, fed and watered horses, swept huge yards, and managed muck heaps. I've been kept busy for hours nursing a colic hit pony, only finding time to snack at midnight before heading on down to the yard for half hourly checks. I've been out many a time in the torrential rain and gales, or severe snow, fixing fences or rounding up horses that have escaped due to stable or fence collapse. Been there, done it, and although it was tough, I wouldn't change the experience.
This blog is littered with photos, many of which are taken outdoors. My children love being outside. They love exploring. They love building dens, hunting down bugs from beneath rocks, watching ants, looking for butterflies, searching for fox holes or badger sets, developing role-playing games, learning about survival techniques, sleeping in tents, and everything else that having a love of nature and spending time in the fresh air can provide. We spend a lot of time walking in fields and exploring woods and moorland. We want more. We don't want to have to keep trundling off into the car to have an adventure. We want to bring the adventure to our door.
Can I please take advantage of this platform and use this blog as another advertising medium. I'm cheekily asking my wonderful and supportive readers to spread the word far and wide, and help us find that nugget of opportunity that will bring so much joy to our lives.
Thank you.
In other news, I should just let you know that Callum is going to be in the Olympics. He told me so today. He is going to do a bit of everything and believes that he will win a few Gold medals and a couple of Silvers and Bronze. He won't be doing sailing or diving, but will happily do everything else. He may even do team rowing with Tiegan, or with Mo Farah - he just needs to persuade Mo to quit running and start rowing. Callum thinks that cycling will be his best sport.
Callum also said "I will do the horse thing too, and make the horses jump. That will be pretty easy actually. I don't know how you make them jump though, I think you have to tell their boss to tell them."
So you have been warned, watch out for Callum, clearly the Olympic success of the future.
Definitely inspired.
I'm going to leave you with a gorgeous photo of our Robin friend. Lee (husband) took this picture on a recent walk to Stover (yes, the evening that our car gave up living).
I love it. Isn't nature just wonderful *heart*
Tomorrow we are Olympic watching, dog walking, baking, and ebay listing! :))

Human Trafficking Arrest Made in New Orleans
BATON ROUGE, LA – A New Orleans man has been arrested for contacting minor girls in an alleged sex trafficking scheme.
Abraham Kalili, 40 of New Orleans
, was arrested on one count of Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes. His arrest came following a request from the Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) to the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation (LBI) to investigate a man communicating with juvenile victims online in an attempt to lure them into child sex trafficking.
"Human trafficking is a hideous crime whose impacts on those exploited last forever," said General Landry. "So my office will continue to assist law enforcement agencies in the pursuit of child predators violating the innocence of our State's children."
"The ATC is dedicated to the fight against stopping the crime of human trafficking," said ATC Commissioner Juana Marine-Lombard. "We are proud to work with our state partners in the AG's office and their agents who committed themselves to this case which resulted in getting a harmful trafficker off of the streets."
The LBI Cyber Crime Unit arrested Kalili, who was on parole for narcotics distribution, with the assistance of the LBI Violent Crimes Unit, LBI Fugitive Apprehension Unit, ATC, Homeland Security Investigations, Louisiana Probation and Parole, the Louisiana State Police, and the New Orleans Police Department. He was booked into the Orleans Parish Prison.
Coming soon, the attorney's general office seeks to provide a mechanism by which to take online payments for collections.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Buck Shaw Stadium is the place to be this week as the Santa Clara University baseball team hosts four key West Coast Conference games. The Broncos will take on Saint Mary's Tuesday night at 6 p.m. in a make-up game that was rained out in March before hosting Pepperdine in a three-game series over the weekend.
The Broncos are currently 10-10 in WCC play, just 1 1/2 games behind Coast Division leader Pepperdine. The Gaels sit just one game behind Santa Clara, giving meaning to all four contests at "The Shaw" this week.
The Bronco Athletic Marketing department has lined up two great promotions during the Pepperdine series for fans of all ages.
Friday night's series opener against Pepperdine will begin at 6 p.m. and will mark the first annual Country-Western Night at Buck Shaw. All fans can gain admittance to the game for only $2 when wearing any kind of country and western wear. It will be all country music between innings and a good excuse to bust out your old cowboy hat.
Sunday's series finale with the Waves will mark the second annual Cinco De Buck Shaw. In honor of Cinco De Mayo, Santa Clara and Bon Appetit will give the first 300 fans through the gate free burritos. A speed pitch and pop-a-shot machine will each be available for all fans to test their skills in some exciting games. Little Leaguers will gain admission for only $2 when wearing the jerseys and have an opportunity to participate in a postgame clinic with Bronco players. Also, all kids will be invited to run the Buck Shaw bases following the conclusion of the contest.
So dust off your mits, throw on your hat and shorts and head on out to "The Shaw" for exciting game atmosphere and even more exciting college baseball as the Broncos look to move to the top of the WCC Coast division standings.
