(Clearfi eld) – Motorists on Route 46 in McKean County will be re-minded to obey the posted speed limit after PennDOT placed a radar-con-trolled speed dis-play sign recently. The placement will raise awareness of the 40-mile-per-hour speed limit in this area and aid in curbing a common type of aggressive

driving. The sign is lo-cated in the village of Farmers Val-ley, facing north-bound traffi c. The speed display sign uses radar to deter-mine the speeds of oncoming traffi c. Vehicle speeds are then posted on the lighted section of the sign. Speeding and other aggressive driving behaviors are among the lead-ing causes of crash-es and fatalities in Pennsylvania. Oth-er aggressive driv-ing behaviors in-clude running stop signs or red lights, passing illegally and tailgating. Aggressive driv-ing behaviors were listed as a crash cause in more than 48 percent of McK-ean County crashes in 2012.

5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“De-funding Obamacare” -by Bob Perry The House of Representatives, in a last ditch effort, voted approval for a CR (con-tinuing resolution) that funds the federal government through December but it in-cluded a provision to de-funding Obamac-are. The bill has no chance of passing the Senate as written. Senator Harry Reid, majority leader, has issued a declaration that it is dead upon arrival. The political risks are huge for both parties in regard to this issue. The 2014 elections are around the corner and how the senators vote could change the makeup of the Senate with the Republicans gaining control and Harry Reid losing his leadership position. The Democratic representatives have already staked out their positions in their votes for the CR and Democrats in red states or red districts might well start look-ing for a new job. The emotional rhetoric is approaching new levels as seen in the union organizations vocally denouncing the unexplained consequences they are go-ing to realize with the Act when enforced. Once supporting the Affordable Care Act, the union representing the IRS (The National Treasury Employee Union) has joined forces with many others includ-ing the AFL-CIO in asking for waivers to avoid being forced into complying with the Act. Calls by unions are being voiced in repealing Obamacare since it essential-ly destroys the health and welfare funds it

has fought for and stands for. This gives an indication that come election time 2014 union support for representatives and senators seeking re-election might be missing. Rightly so! The Act will most likely end the multi-employer health plans called the ‘Taft-Hartley Plans’ which are a lynchpin of labor’s efforts to unions like restaurants, construction and retail. There are behind-the-scenes meetings occurring including the unions with Presi-dent Obama. Obama has rejected the unions’ demands to alter the Affordable Care Act to provide the ability for certain members to qualify for subsidies intended for the uninsured. The bitter taste that has resulted from unexplained consequences will have lasting effects. That is unless the President strikes a deal to appease the unions, but don’t count on that happening. At least the House has made a statement showing what the majority of the coun-try feels. A tip of this iceberg has shown its face in that 77% of jobs created in the country this year has been part-time jobs and this is not a healthy trend. De-fund Obamacare and start over with baby steps in creating a healthy health care system. We need to start with tort reform and providing competition across state lines to create affordable care. If you re-member, these proposals were made when the Act was being debated.

Photos taken during the Comedy Show held September 20th, at Brad-ford’s VFW Post #212, along with those taken at Parkway Field, Septem-ber 21st just before the Autumn Clas-sic Field Band Competition, are found in this edition……….For those of our readers who have been watching carefully, most of the prices for prod-ucts, from food to fuel, have risen about 10% since the beginning of the year. It’s very possible that most have been so distracted with media hocus po-cus concerning U.S. involvement with the Syrian civil war, the looming terror of Obama Care, and the daily fallout caused by the right wing behavior of a small but powerful group of House Republicans, that personal economics has been quite out of mind. We think that everyone should begin to pay close attention, and as it were, block out the noisy distraction of both misinforma-tion, and misdirection fed to us by the daily media. Perhaps we can do noth-ing about it, but knowing what’s hap-pening in our economy as it pertains to us should be helpful when election time rolls around…….. Sponsors for our National Hunting And Fishing Day special are as follows, Timeless Treasurers, Togi’s Family Restaurant, New Keystone, Burns & Burns Asso-ciates, Tasta Pizza, Worth Smith, Bot-torf’s Embroidery and Screen Print-ing, and Bradford’s V.F.W Club……..It’s interesting that while House Re-publicans are aware that the bottom dropped out of our economy in 2008, and have been saying since then that the administration has been less than honest concerning our recovery, that they have now decided that a doubling of the amount of money being spent to subsidize food over the last fi ve years is too much. Regardless of the fact that over ten million people lost living wage jobs during the crash, the legislators are now moving forward in an attempt to decrease food subsidies given to the States. What’s worse is that States like Pennsylvania with Republican admin-istrations and Republican controlled houses are following their lead by cut-ting food stamps to their citizenry…….Who can remember when we were told that deregulation would cause natural gas prices to fall. That myth was started in the late 70’s, and now, over thirty years later, our natural gas utility bills have managed to quadruple. Now we are see-ing the same pattern with the deregulation of electricity. And prices to the consumer aren’t falling this time around either. The question is, what is the real purpose for deregulation? Who’s benefi ting?

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESDon’t Dawdle On Student Loan Search

-by Jason Alderman Millions of young Americans re-cently began their senior year of high school. If your kid is among them, he or she is probably busy juggling home-work, extracurricular activities and maybe a part-time job – all while trying to savor the last offi cial year of child-hood and simultaneously prepare for impending adulthood. You, on the other hand, are likely just wondering how the heck you’re going to pay for college. College may be a year away, but scholarship and loan application dead-lines are just around the corner. As you’ll soon learn, there are tons of deci-sions to make and documents to fi ll out. Plus, some states award aid on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis, meaning funds for your child’s dream school could be exhausted by the time you get your pa-perwork together.If that doesn’t make you want to get the jump on fi nancial aid, I don’t know what will. Your fi rst step is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, which is required by virtually all colleges, universities and career schools for federal student aid, as well as for most aid from states and individual colleges. It’s easiest to fi le an FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. You can also get a hard copy from your child’s school or by calling 1-800-4-FED-AID. The FAFSA fi ling deadline for federal loans isn’t until June 30, 2014, but many state and individual school deadlines fall months earlier. Many types of student aid are avail-able to help cover costs at four-year colleges and universities, community colleges, and trade, career or technical schools, including: • Hundreds of thousands of free scholarships and fellowships are awarded each year. Visit www.fi naid.org/scholarships for helpful tips. • Federal Pell Grants are needs-based grants given to low-income stu-dents to pursue post-secondary educa-tion. The maximum annual Pell Grant amount is $5,500; but students can re-ceive Pell Grants for no more than 12 semesters. They need not be repaid. • Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants for up to $4,000 a year are awarded to undergraduates demonstrating exceptional fi nancial need. • Federal Work-Study provides part-time jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with fi nancial need,

allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. • Low-interest Federal Perkins Loans are for students who demonstrate exceptional fi nancial need. They are “subsidized,” meaning the government pays yearly interest while students are enrolled. They have no origination or default fees. • Direct Stafford Loans are low-interest federal government loans with no origination fee and come in two va-rieties: needs-based “Subsidized” loans for undergraduate students where the government pays the yearly interest while students are enrolled; and “Un-subsidized,” for undergraduate and graduate students of any income level, where students are responsible for in-terest that accrues while enrolled. • Private Education Loans are of-fered by lenders to students and parents to supplement government loans. They

aren’t government-guaranteed or subsi-dized and typically carry higher interest rates, although you can borrow greater amounts. Details and rates vary widely. • Some colleges sponsor their own loans to students and parents. Interest rates may be lower than federal loans. Check each college’s aid materials to see if they’re available. • PLUS loans are federal loans that graduate or professional-degree students and parents of dependent un-dergraduate students can use to pay for education expenses. They are made through participating schools at a fi xed interest rate. There is an origination fee. Visit the Federal Student Aid site

(http://studentaid.ed.gov ) and

www.FinAid.org for complete explanations of the dif-ferent types of grants/loans, calculators and many other tools.

Healthy Home Entertaining Make Mealtime Memorable With Lean,Flavorful Lamb (Family Features) When hosting your next get together, share a great meal that offers a variety of foods that are both deli-cious and good-for-you. Nutrition is often overlooked when planning menus, even though a recent U.S. survey showed 81 percent of grocery shoppers report putting at least “some” or “a lot” of effort into better eating. According to Janice Bissex, registered dietitian, one way to have enjoyable healthy meals is increasing variety at the table by including unique foods, such as lean lamb. “When it comes to healthy entertaining, it’s important to serve a diverse array of foods,” said Bissex, “and fl avorful, ten-der lamb is a nutrient-rich protein source that’s as easy to prepare as other meats.” Here are a few reasons why lamb is the perfect protein to add to the menu: • Lean. On average, a 3-ounce serv-ing of lean lamb has only 170 calories. Lean cuts include the leg, loin and rack. • Omega-3s. Lamb can contribute to your daily intake of the essential ome-ga-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic (ALA). A 3-ounce serving of lean lamb provides about the same amount of omega-3s found in a 1 tablespoon serving of olive oil. • Nutrient Rich. Lamb is naturally nutrient rich, and on average, is an excel-lent source of protein, vitamin B12, nia-cin, zinc, selenium, and a good source of iron and ribofl avin. For more tips and tasty lamb recipes for healthy home entertaining visit www.leanonlamb.com and www.pinterest.com/leanonlamb.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDETips For Staying

Healthy This Flu Season

(NAPSI)—For many Americans, last year’s fl u outbreak serves as a reminder that it’s a good idea to get a fl u shot—the sooner, the better. In fact, a recent survey found that 47 percent of Americans surveyed report that they are more likely to get a fl u shot this year, given last year’s outbreak. The sur-vey was sponsored by CVS/pharmacy. To help, here are some tips on how to stay healthy and avoid the fl u. • Get The Flu Shot Every Year, As Ear-ly As You Can: It’s important to get the fl u shot every year because it is the most effective way to prevent the spread of in-fl uenza to others and your immunity to the virus declines over time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends getting a fl u shot as soon as vaccine is available. A high-dose vaccina-tion is recommended for people over the age of 65, as they are at greater risk of de-veloping severe illness from the fl u. • Keep It Convenient: To make getting a fl u shot more convenient, over 7,500 CVS/pharmacy locations and 650 Minute-Clinic sites offer the shot during daytime, evening and weekend hours. No appoint-ment is necessary and many health plans are accepted, including Medicare Part B, which typically covers the cost of a fl u shot. • Wash Hands Frequently: Touching everyday items, such as door handles and other surfaces, can be diffi cult to avoid. To help combat germs, wash hands frequent-ly (especially after coughing or sneezing) with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds and avoid touching your mouth, eyes and nose. Alcohol-based soaps and hand sanitiz-ers such as CVS/pharmacy Brand Instant Hand Sanitizer with Aloe can be effective when you are on the go. • Practice Good Health Habits: Getting plenty of sleep, being physically active, managing stress, drinking adequate fl uids and eating nutritious foods are all healthy habits that can help to keep your immune system in top condition during fl u season. If you do get sick, a pharmacist can be an excellent resource on over-the-counter remedies. • Make Sure Children Are Safe: Chil-dren under 5 (especially under the age of 2) are at high risk for fl u-related complica-tions. Remind school-age children of the importance of hand washing, coughing into their elbows rather than hands and us-ing tissues when they sneeze. Please note: The infl uenza vaccine is not approved for children younger than 6 months of age. To learn more, visit:

AICR HealthTalk-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN

American Institute for Cancer Research Q:I heard that some people with “nor-mal” weight or BMI actually have too much body fat that puts them at risk for chronic disease. Is that true, and if so, how would you know? A: Yes, it is true. Some people have weight that falls within recommended ranges for body mass index (BMI), but a “healthy” BMI for any particular height of-ten covers a range of about 30 pounds. So it is possible to be in the healthy range, but have too much of that weight as body fat, especially if you’ve lost muscle with age, illness or inactivity. Emerging research shows that this problem, called “metaboli-cally obese normal weight” (MONW) or “normal weight obesity,” affects at least 25 percent of U.S. adults who have nor-mal BMI. Although these people do not face health risks as great as people who are classifi ed as obese, their rate of heart disease deaths and overall mortality rate are increased compared to people with a healthier body composition. People with excess body fat in the abdomen seem es-pecially at increased risk, because this fat is most metabolically active. It is linked with insulin resistance and promoting a chronic, low-grade infl ammation through-

out the body. In a recent study that fol-lowed about 3,000 women for fi ve years, those with more fat deep in the abdomen (visceral fat) were more likely to have a a heart attack or stroke or to develop cancer compared to the women with less visceral fat. These women all received computed tomography (CT) scans, a specialized type of X-ray that provides more detailed images of body structures than standard X-rays. Outside of scans like this, it’s dif-fi cult to identify excess visceral fat spe-cifi cally, but one simple indicator of ab-dominal fat is your waist size. Use a tape measure and compare your measurement to the American Institute for Cancer Re-search and the World Health Organization recommendation to aim for waist size no larger than 37 inches in men or 31.5 inch-es in women. If despite a normal BMI, you’ve been gaining weight or if blood tests show elevations of triglycerides, blood sugar or hsCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), excess body fat may be at least partly responsible. Discuss with your health care provider whether a check of your body fat level with a health care or fi tness professional trained in measuring body composition might be helpful. If you do have a waist measure above the healthy range or other signs of excess body fat, fo-cus on getting moderate physical activity every day and use strength-training exer-cise to minimize loss of muscle tissue. At the same time, cut back on calorie-laden beverages; eat healthfully with meals centered around vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans; and make sure that por-tion sizes satisfy hunger but don’t leave you stuffed. These steps may add up to help you lose a few pounds or waistline inches. After four to six weeks, measure your waist and check to see if blood sugar and triglycerides have improved.

FAMILY FEATURES

Filled with mesmerizing trinkets and gadgets — your home is a new and exciting worldfor your small child to explore. But this new world can introduce serious and sometimessurprising safety issues that many parents do not realize are risks.

Hidden concerns in common household devicesAs your children happily toddle around your home, they may come in contact with unknownsafety issues scattered throughout. One issue you may not have considered is coin lithiumbatteries, about the size of a nickel, which can be found around most homes in everyday itemslike remote controls, keyless entry devices for your car, sound-enabled books and a variety ofhealth and fitness devices. Because many of these devices are not regulated as children’s toys,the battery compartments often are very easy to open. Children are naturally drawn to thesedevices, as many include buttons that are fun to play with and push.

The danger of these batteries is very real. If a coin-sized lithium battery is swallowed by asmall child, it can get caught in the esophagus. The battery can react with saliva and cause achemical reaction that can lead to severe injuries in as little as two hours. Unfortunately, manyparents do not know about the issue. In fact, a recent survey showed 62 percent of parentsreported being unaware of the risk associated with coin lithium batteries.

Spread the wordIn an effort to help keep children safe, Energizer and the National Safety Council are workingtogether to educate parents and caregivers on the steps they can take to help prevent these injuries.

“We know parents and caregivers are constantly thinking about their children’s safety, but we want to bring awareness to an issue still unknown to many families,” said Amy Heinzen,Program Manager of Grants and Strategic Initiatives for the National Safety Council. “Coinlithium battery safety needs to be top of mind and we hope parents will take the time to learnabout the issue with these four simple steps to help children be safe.”

The 4 S’s of coin lithium battery safetyMake your home safer and spread awareness with four simple steps to store, select, secure andshare information about this hidden safety concern.

Store. Awareness of the issue is a good start, but mak -ing sure you have a game plan is even better. If youcurrently have coin lithium batteries in your home,store them where little hands can’t get them and littleeyes can’t see them. It’s also important to not letchildren use devices powered by these batteries as toys.In fact, 45 percent of parents admit to letting their kidsplay with their keys, remotes and similar devices,which could very likely include a coin lithium battery.

Select. When you are in need of coin lithium batteries,it is important to do your research in advance, andselect battery packaging that meets the strict guidelinesset by the Consumer Product Safety Commission(CPSC) for child resistance. Energizer was the first tointroduce 20 millimeter coin lithium battery packagingthat meets these criteria, restricting a child’s ability toget in the package, while still allow ing adults to easilyopen it with scissors.

Secure. If the battery compartment door opens in thehands of a child, it becomes a potential hazard. It isessential to secure the battery doors of all devicespowered by coin lithium batteries, including the key -less entry devices found on most car keys. You canalso look for devices that feature a screwed back foradditional security.

Share. Finally, you are encouraged to share thisinformation, whether online with your friends, atplaygroups or daycare, so every family can take thesame steps to protect their children.

“From flashlights to smoke alarm batteries to coinlithium battery packaging, we are always looking forways our products can help keep families safe,” saidBrad Harrison, Vice President of Marketing forEnergizer North America. “It is our hope that bybringing awareness to this issue and being the firstbattery company to offer packaging that meets federalsafety standards, more children can be safe.”

In case of emergencyIf it is suspected a child has swallowed a coin lithium battery, it is important to go to theemergency department immediately.

Home Testing For AFib Patients (NAPSI)—If you or someone you know is on blood thinners and tired of traveling to a clinic for a clotting time test, you may be relieved to learn about a much more convenient option: testing yourself at home, on your fi ngertip. Many people with atrial fi brilla-tion (an irregular heartbeat, known as “AFib”) or other conditions that can lead to blood clots have to be on life-long treatment with anticoagulant med-ications such as Coumadin (warfarin) to help “thin” their blood. Since diet, stress and other factors make patients react differently to warfarin, they need to have their clotting time tested regu-larly. That can involve a lot of time and hassle to travel to a lab, clinic or doc-tor’s offi ce. The easy alternative—testing less often than your doctor recommends—is not a good or safe option. Checking your clotting time at regular intervals allows your doctor to make sure you are on the right dose of warfarin: Too low and it might not effectively prevent clots; too high and your blood could get too thin. Both can lead to serious com-plications, such as a stroke or uncon-trolled bleeding. So it’s essential to have a regularly scheduled test that measures the time it takes for your blood to clot (Prothrom-bin Time, often reported as an Inter-national Normalized Ratio; hence the moniker “PT/INR test”).

The real question is: where?

Convenience at your fi ngertips The traditional way to get a PT/INR test is to have your blood drawn at a clinic or doctor’s offi ce and sent to a lab, which may take several days. Now, however, there’s Patient Self-Testing (PST). You can test at home, at work or wherever you happen to be, right on your fi ngertip. You simply prick your fi nger, place a drop of blood on a test strip and wait about a minute for a small handheld meter to give you the result. Your health care team will still be closely involved with your care and anticoagulation treatment. You call in your results or enter them online right after you test, and you make offi ce vis-its as directed by your doctor to moni-tor your testing and make therapy ad-justments. But PST offers so much more fl ex-ibility and convenience that it can make a world of difference in how you feel about testing. In one study, 77 percent of the warfarin patients preferred the convenience of self-testing over testing at a clinic. Studies also show that patients who self-test tend to test more often, so they

stay in the proper therapeutic range longer than patients who are monitored less often by a doctor. The longer you stay in range, the lower your chances of having an adverse event, like a stroke or even death. Is PST right for me? If you’re considering PST for your-self or someone you care for, talk with your doctor to make sure it’s a good fi t for you and your lifestyle. You should be motivated to test, physically able to perform the test (after training), and responsible to follow your doctor’s or-ders for how often to test and how to report your results. The next step will be for your doc-tor to write a prescription and connect you with a PST service provider that can supply the meter and the neces-sary face-to-face training from a cer-

tifi ed professional. The provider can also help you with ordering supplies, reporting results and fi ling insurance paperwork, and can even send you gen-tle reminders to help you stay on your testing schedule and keep your therapy on track. The costs associated with self-testing may be reimbursable through Medicare or a private insurer, depending on your diagnosis and medical coverage. Research shows that nearly two out of three AFib patients who are not test-ing at home don’t even know it’s an option. So friends and family can be a big help by sharing this information.

To Get Healthy, Get Moving (NAPSI)—According to the U.S. Cent-ers for Disease Control and Prevention, in order to preserve and improve your health, you need to do two types of physical ac-tivity each week—aerobic and muscle-strengthening. What You Can Do

Most adults need at least: • 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (such as brisk walking) every week • muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days a week that work all ma-jor muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdo-men, chest, shoulders and arms) • 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity (that is, jogging or running) every week. If 150 minutes a week sounds like a lot of time, you might be glad to learn that you don’t have to do it all at once. Not only is it best to spread your activity out during the week, you can break it up into smaller chunks of time during the day. Just be sure you’re doing your activity at a moderate or vigorous effort for at least 10 minutes at a time. Try going for a 10-minute brisk walk, three times a day, fi ve days a week. What Others Are Doing Many people are getting an assist in all this from what may seem to some to be a surprising source. To help meet the need for better health education, Chrysler Group has gotten together with the Na-tional Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) to increase awareness about health and wellness dis-parities in minority communities and to promote achievable strategies that mem-bers of those communities can pursue to improve their health. We all know about Chrysler Group’s prowess as an auto manufacturer. What we may not know is that the company has been a leader in bringing innovative health programs to its employees and their families in order to improve their overall health and to reduce costs. The carmaker has received several awards from the Na-tional Business Group on Health for the strength and relevance of its health and wellness efforts. In fact, the company’s headquarters complex in Auburn Hills, Mich., offers employees many wellness amenities such as a fully equipped fi tness center, an on-site pharmacy and health care offi ces, all within an environment that offers many recreational opportuni-ties, such as walking trails, baseball fi elds and volleyball courts. Now, the goal is to take the company’s passion for health and wellness beyond the corporate walls, into the communities that could benefi t most. The car company says it focused its message to working journalists because as leaders in their communities, they are in

a unique position to educate people about health and wellness best practices. The program is called Get Moving with Chrysler Group and has two parts, a walk-ing challenge and an interactive “health and wellness experience” featured at the national conventions this past summer, touching more than 3,000 journalists. During the walking challenges, several local chapters of the NABJ and NAHJ en-

gaged in spirited competitions, as a way to earn dollars for their scholarship funds for aspiring journalists. So can a company that makes cars come up with a way to encourage people to get out and walk? One such company has and the results are good for our health.

Storm, Hurricane And Winter Storage Preparation (NAPSI)—With storm season in full tilt, it’s important to make sure that emer-gency generators are ready to be used at a moment’s notice. Residents of Snowbelt states need to add snowblowers and chain saws to the list. The most critical factor for all gas-powered equipment is the fuel, and partic-ularly so if you use ethanol-blended fuel. Most fuel is formulated to be used within 30−45 days; as gas ages beyond this point, it begins to degrade, forming gums and other solids that can cause engines to be diffi cult to start or to run rough. Octane levels also decline as fuel ages, resulting in engines that cannot produce full power. This means generators that ran great when you used them a few years ago might not start now. The solution is to use a fuel stabilizer to ensure that emergency equipment will start when you need it. You also need to stabilize fuel in summer equipment that is going into seasonal storage. Lawn mow-ers, string trimmers and more can be stored with a full tank of fuel as long as you stabilize it. However, be careful of the stabilizer you choose; traditional fuel stabilizers have the side effect of slightly degrad-

ing fuel combustibility; this results in more exhaust smoke and rough-running engines. A better option is Star Tron En-zyme Fuel Treatment. Utilizing a unique blend of enzymes, it stabilizes fuel for up to two years; the enzymes also help im-prove fuel combustibility, which ensures fast, easy starts. Because ethanol produces less energy than gasoline, improving the combustibility of gasoline helps restore lost power and fuel economy. Also, there is the added benefi t of signifi cantly reduc-ing all emissions, including smoky ex-haust, while keeping the carburetor or fuel injectors and combustion chamber free of performance-robbing carbon deposits. When added at every fuel fi ll, Star Tron will keep fuel systems clean and engines ready to start. Adding it now to emergency equipment as well as to lawn mowers and other summer equipment going into win-ter storage means they will all be ready for action when you are. To learn more, visit:

The World Wide Web of Opportunity (NAPSI)—One of the most important learning tools for students is broadband Internet at home. With it, students can tackle almost any assignment. Beyond benefi ts to education, the Internet offers a world of opportunity to the entire family, bringing quick and easy access to an end-less variety of resources that make health care, job searches, saving money and stay-ing in touch with friends or family as sim-ple as the click of a mouse. For instance, with the Internet at home, you have the ability to: • Search and Apply for Jobs Online—Whether writing a résumé, learning inter-view skills, networking or fi nding and ap-plying for a job, the Internet can be crucial for the job search. Check out sites such as CareerBuilder.com, Indeed.com and LinkedIn.com. • Access Health Care Information—With the Internet, you can search for qual-ity medical care nearby, read reviews of health care professionals, keep track of your insurance coverage and monitor your health progress on sites such as http://health.yahoo.net and WebMD.com. • Find Educational Resources—Not only is the Internet a place to research and write homework assignments, it also of-fers students of any age the opportunity to explore everything from the GED test and colleges to getting student aid and fi nding a scholarship. Try CollegeSource.org, In-foPlease.com and CK12.org. • Explore Financial Literacy and Sup-port—Getting a credit card, creating a budget, fi nding tax help, retirement plan-ning or learning helpful tips on manag-ing money—the Internet, and sites such as MyMoney.gov and Mint.com, can help you get a better understanding of it all. • Stay Connected—E-mail is a quick way to send and receive messages. You can also choose to get bills and bank state-ments electronically, instead of through the mail. • Use Social Media—For most, social media is a way for family and friends to stay in touch. It’s also a way to fi nd new recipes or learn parenting tips. Popular sites include Facebook, Twitter, Insta-gram, Pinterest and Skype. Unfortunately, not everyone has broad-band Internet service at home. Many low-income families struggle to afford it, while others simply don’t understand the benefi ts the Internet can provide. In fact, in many low-income neighborhoods, broadband adoption rates are only around 15 to 20 percent, while in upper income communities, broadband penetration rates are as high as 90 percent. With 30 percent of the U.S. still without broadband Inter-net service at home, far too many continue to miss out on all the terrifi c resources the Internet can deliver. To help bridge this digital divide in

America, programs such as Comcast’s Internet Essentials have been developed. Offering families with at least one child eligible for the National School Lunch Program in-home Internet for less than $10 a month; computers for less than $150; and free digital literacy training on-line, in print or in person, it’s the largest and most comprehensive broadband adop-tion program in the country. In less than two years, Internet Essen-tials has connected 220,000 families—ap-proximately 900,000 low-income Ameri-cans—to the power of the Internet. Speeds

for customers are now up to 5 Mbps downstream and up to 1 Mbps upstream. The enrollment process has also been streamlined with instant approval eligibil-ity available to more schools.

To take advantage of this program, call (855) 846-8376 or visit www.InternetEs-sentials.com or www.InternetBasico.com. Additional resources, Internet safety information, how-to websites and instruc-tional videos on how the Internet can ben-efi t students and families can be found at http://learning.internetessentials.com

A Halftime Game That’s Sure To Please

While you’re waiting for hot dogs to fi nish cooking on the grill, keep each other busy with an old-school throw-back. “500” is a simple game where one player stands down as far away as possible from the pack of people play-ing and throws the ball up for grabs. The goal is to battle everyone else and catch the ball in the air. A ball caught in the air is worth 100 points, and a ball caught on only one bounce is worth 50 points. The fi rst player to reach 500 wins and gets to become the quarterback for the next round. For information on Tervis NFL or college team designs, visit www.tervis.com/tailgateheroes.

Breast Cancer: Know Your Risk And Make A Plan—It’s The Closest You Can Get To A Cure

(NAPSI)—Take a look around—at the grocery store, school open houses, the mall, the park—it’s all around you—one in eight women will get breast cancer.1 While this may seem like just another sad statistic, it’s real and will most likely touch your life in one way or another. However, what if you could do something for your-self, loved ones and friends to increase the chance of breast cancer survival? Fortu-nately, you can and all it takes is a visit to your healthcare professional and a simple risk assessment test called BREVAGen™. BREVAGen is a scientifi cally validated risk assessment test for sporadic breast cancer that provides fi ve-year and lifetime predictive risk assessments to more accu-rately evaluate a woman’s risk of develop-ing sporadic, hormone-dependent breast cancer. Did you know that more than 80 percent of women who develop breast cancer have little or no family history of the disease?2 Although routine evaluation tools such as family history, mammograms, ultrasounds and/or MRIs are important fi rst lines of defense against breast cancer, women can better understand their risk for develop-ing breast cancer through the BREVA-Gen test. BREVAGen is administered in a physician’s offi ce using a simple, non-invasive “oral-swab.” Following labora-tory analysis, physicians receive a com-prehensive genetic risk prediction report to review with the patient. The patient’s risk of breast cancer is calculated by com-bining their relative risk score from sev-en genetic markers, called SNP’s (single nucleotide polymorphisms), with factors that comprise the patient’s clinical and re-productive history including current age, age at menarche and age at fi rst live birth. More importantly, a physician can then develop an individualized breast health plan that includes appropriate surveillance schedules based on the patient’s risk score and recommendations for lifestyle chang-es that can reduce the risk for developing breast cancer. Make sure your breast health plan in-cludes the following steps: • Healthy lifestyle—get regular physi-cal activity, eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, quit smoking and maintain a healthy body weight. • Clinical breast health exam—women in their 20s and 30s should have this exam performed by a healthcare professional every three years. Women in their 40s should have this done every year.2 • Mammogram—women age 40 and older should have a mammogram every year and should continue to do so as long as they are in good health.2 • BREVAGen Test—women age 35 and older should ask their doctor to administer

this two-step test to determine their fi ve-year and lifetime risk level. BREVAGen, which is currently speci-fi ed for women 35 years of age and old-er and Caucasian of European descent, is the fi rst genetic risk prediction test to have been validated in a large scale, peer reviewed, case controlled study. Utilizing data from the U.S. Women’s Health Initia-tive (WHI) Clinical Trial, 3,300 Caucasian women of European descent underwent breast cancer risk assessment utilizing the BREVAGen test. Of those 3,300 women, 1,664 had been diagnosed with breast can-cer and 1,636 were in the breast cancer−free control group. Validation for addi-tional ethnicities is anticipated in the near future. Until there is a breakthrough cure for all stages of breast cancer, the best way to survive it is to detect it early. Survival rates for cases detected early are 95 per-cent, but only 41 percent when diagnosed later.3 With all of the right tools and a comprehensive breast health plan outlined by a certifi ed healthcare professional, you and your loved ones can fi nd out the risk

for developing breast cancer and do some-thing about it. The gift of good health can be one of the best gifts that you can give to a loved one.
