Jets Pizza opens on Monday

sleep-wake cycle, called circadian rhythm, which affects other critical factors like body temperature and the way organs function. We knew that circadian rhythm disruption had been linked with reduced longevity, so we decided to try and nd out where, why and how longevity is compromised, explains psychology professor Martin Ralph from the University of Toronto, one of the lead researchers from the study on shift work. Shift work is the opposite of 9-5, and demand for it is only increasing as customers expect more 24-hour services. Many occupations require permanent or occasional shift work, such as healthcare professionals, hospitality and restaurant staff, production and manufacturing workers, protective and emergency services and the transportation industry. These workers suffer from the continual disturbance of their biological or circadian clocks. As the new study supports, longterm interference of this nature can lead to kidney or heart disease. People suffering with SWD can also have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). It is a condition marked by loud snoring, pauses in breathing and gasping. The repeated arousals contribute to the disruption of sleep. Like SWD, it can contribute to excessive daytime sleepiness, diabetes and heart disease. Unlike SWD, it is easy to diagnose and effectively treat. Another tip is to create an ideal sleep environment -- eliminate extra noise and light to get the most out of your irregular sleep schedule. Try and stick to the same sleep and wake time, even on weekends. Dont hesitate to seek medical help. To nd more information and advice on sleep disorders, go to www.sleepapnea.org.

When you put customers rst by ensuring that they get quality products and service, and when you keep your employees focused on innovation, youve got the formula for surviving long term and throughout even the toughest economic times. The companys commitment to service and innovation has actually produced a number of rsts, including: the rst readyto-lay asphalt roong, the rst to use color granules in roong materials, and the rst to offer a lifetime shingle warranty. And, oh yes, for those concerned about the outsourcing of American jobs, everythings made in America. For more information, visit www.GAF.com.

Jets Pizza is opening nearly one year to the date after the re that closed the former Papa Johns. A re started about 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 15, 2010, after employees had left for the night. No one was injured in the blaze.

Balancing Higher Education as an Adult

Papa Johns decided not to reopen the store, located at 215 Maple St., after the re. Papa Johns had been in the downtown location since 2001. Dennis Schafer signed a ve-year lease this summer to open a Jets restaurant, with an additional ve-year extension option.

(NewsUSA) - Parents and even grandparents are now doing homework alongside their children. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), higher education enrollment of students age 25 and older rose 43 percent between 2000 and 2009. From 2010 to 2019, NCES projects a 23 percent rise in college enrollments of students age 25 and older. Many adults are striving to nd the balance between work, family and education; others feel they are too overwhelmed by responsibilities to even consider pursuing a higher degree. However, options do exist. Online education is a great solution for working adults seeking an advanced degree. Online programs enable working adults to accommodate their busy schedules. However, despite the schedule exibility that online learning offers, adult students still must prioritize their responsibilities and commitments in order to complete assignments on time.

The interior of the building was completely redone. Fire-damaged materials were removed and replaced with white, green and red tile oors and walls to match the Jets motif.

A Bright Spot for Your Rainy-Day Savings

(NewsUSA) - Ben Franklin once declared, A penny saved is a penny earned. Yet, equally enlightening are his thoughts on expenses: Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship. And there are plenty of leaks that can scuttle an already-tight budget. For instance, a spouse idled by the sour economy, a fender bender with the family car, or an unexpected hospitalization. Thats why nancial advisors recommend that you have a rainy-day fund -- enough liquid assets to cover three to six months worth of emergency living expenses. In case of nancial emergency, access to additional money will save you from relying on credit cards or loans that simply compound the problem. When starting an emergency fund, there are a few key points to take into consideration: 1. Determine what amount is best for you. Most experts agree that you should keep between three and six months worth of your living expenses set aside in your emergency fund. Your specic situation -- whether you have children, carry substantial debt and types of insurance coverage you have -- will determine what amount is best for you. Examine your situation -- your income and your needs -- to decide how much you should save. 2. Start small. Starting an emergency fund can be as simple as depositing $100 into your high-interest savings account. But before you begin, be sure that youre meeting your basic living expenses. And as you build your emergency fund, be sure youre also reducing your spending and avoiding debt. 3. Stick to a schedule. Get into the habit of making regular deposits. Whether it is weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, create a schedule and stick to it. Once you make saving automatic, you wont even have to think about it. 4. Consider an online savings account. In many cases, an online savings account may make more sense than an account at a traditional, bricks-and-mortar bank. Thats because many traditional banks are not currently offering a savings option with interest rates high enough to meaningfully beat ination. In addition, an online savings account is a reliable way to manage your money. AAA and Discover Bank partnered to bring members highly competitive rates on an online savings account. The AAA Online Savings Account is a great option to begin building a rainy-day fund: * Preferred member rates over ve times the national savings average * $500 minimum opening deposit and no

A triple-deck pizza oven was installed and about 15 employees hired to keep up with the all orders the restaurant expects, said manager Molly Michalik.

Since were right downtown, were hoping to attract people from downtown businesses for lunch, Michalik said. Not only do we have pizza, we also offer salads, subs, chicken wings and more.

In addition to take-out orders, customers will be able to enjoy a meal inside the restaurant, which can t about one dozen diners. Customers also will be able to order online at www.jetspizza.com.

Parents arent the only ones who need to understand that going back to school is a time-consuming process -- everyone in the family should understand the commitment as well, says Savitri Dixon-Saxon, Ph.D., LPC, NCC, associate dean of Walden Universitys School of Counseling and Social Service. Walden University offers more than 60 online doctoral, masters and bachelors degree programs. Here are ve tips from Dr. Dixon-Saxon for achieving balance: * Choose a focus or specialization that you truly care about. The juggling act will be much more challenging for you if you dont enjoy your eld of study. Choose a focus area you are passionate about. * Set aside time for your studies. Set specic time frames for studying and completing assignments. This requires discipline and time management, but once you establish a routine, it can help keep you on track. * Find a place to do your studies. Its easy to be distracted, so nd a quiet place to study away from excessive noise and interruptions.

The chain pizza restaurant was slated to open before the start of Ferris State Universitys fall semester, but was pushed back several weeks due to construction delays. Work on the restaurant began in early July.

Innovation Reigns When Times Get Tough

(NewsUSA) - When people see closed storefronts in the neighborhoods where they live and work, theyre reminded that the toll this economy has taken on businesses affects their own lives. And yet some companies -- faced with the same adverse headwinds -- seem to rise to the challenge and go on to prosper as never before. Why is that? And could there even be a lesson to be learned here if youre thinking of starting your own business as a result of either being unemployed or just plain fed up with your current job? The i-word keeps popping up among experts as the answer to that question. The whole engine that drives any economy is innovation, says Stephen Gnass, executive director of the National Congress of Inventor Organizations, a non-prot for inventors and inventor groups. Take IBM, for example. It practically reinvented itself years ago -- going from a stodgy seller of large, pricey computers to a global software and consulting giant -- and just recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. And then theres the more under-the-radar case of New Jersey-based GAF. North Americas largest roong and ventilation manufacturer is celebrating its own anniversary this year -- 25 years longer in business than IBM, but whos counting? -- and one way it got there is by coming up with unique answers to consumers and businesses desires to go green. In fact, it made quite a splash last summer when it teamed up with New York Citys Department of Buildings to paint 1 million square feet of roofs white -- GAF supplied the reective paint for one of the many projects of the initiative, as well as materials and labor -- as

Youre always going to run into some snags during construction, Michalik said. We had some issues with getting our ovens. We also had to get someone in to work on the electrical, get our Internet up and running, our alarm system installed and a few other things that didnt allow us to open up before the school year started.

Although the restaurant is opening later than expected, Michalik said community members are excited to try its signature square-shaped pizza.

Our phones have been ringing like crazy and people are constantly coming in to ask when were opening, Michalik said. Were popular down state, so were hoping to bring our square pizza up here to let everyone know what were all about.

* Ask for help. Make connections early on with classmates and faculty members to set up online study groups and start the term off right. * Renew your energy. Take time for yourself as part of your schedule. Spend time with your family and friends to recharge your batteries.

Avoid the Night Terrors of Shift Work Disorder

(NewsUSA) - Do you work the graveyard shift? If you do, your health may be compromised. Over 15 million Americans work a job with late-night or early-morning hours, which leaves workers vulnerable to shift work disorder (SWD). SWD is hard to diagnose and treat, but the associated sleep deprivation and insomnia can be debilitating.

Refreshing Communities Through Outdoor Gardens

A recent study published in the Journal of American Physiology by researchers from the University of Toronto discovered another serious health risk posed by SWD -- a higher risk for organ disease. With the side effects of SWD only expanding, workers must nd ways to manage the bodily stress. Shift work disrupts the bodys natural

(NewsUSA) - Whether you live in an urban or rural area, enjoying the outdoors is something many Americans have in common, and we experience it in different ways -- both big and small -- from growing herbs on the back porch to perusing the community farmers market in town. But why not take it a step further and take action to make your community a little greener? Creating an outdoor oasis helps preserve green space, beauties

neighborhoods, and can also bring together the community through a shared cause. One way to do this is through The Pepsi Refresh Project, which through the input of people across the country, awards grants to projects, for both individuals and organizations, that do good for the community. This month Pepsi is challenging America, asking How can you upgrade your hometown with a new community garden? Go to www.refresheverything.com and give Pepsi your best answer, or click through the hundreds of other entries to vote on your favorite ideas to help ensure worthy organizations receive the funding they deserve. Since last year, Americans have chosen to award more than 20 million dollars to community-supportive ideas that receive the greatest number of votes through this landmark fundraising effort. Take Central Elementary Gardens for example, started by teacher Christy Cuthbert, who used the $25,000 Pepsi Refresh Project grant to create an outdoor learning center and garden for her school. Students not only get their hands dirty in the garden, but also learn skills to promote and manage a community farmers market. Theres also the Brigits Bounty started by a Colorado resident, Brandi-Lynn Greig. She used her $25,000 grant to provide fencing, seeds, trees, and educational programming for a community garden, which provides fresh vegetables to over 200 families in need each month. Other ways to get involved are to join an already established community garden or farm in your area. From planting to managing sales, there are several ways you can contribute. Every action helps to create major impact on communities, whether you choose to

vote for your favorite idea or put your own idea into action. Even as the summer days start to shorten and we head back to school, Pepsi will continue to challenge Americans with the next question, asking, How would you make learning fun? No matter the season, ideas can always inspire change in communities and the Pepsi Refresh Project encourages just that.

aches, persistent snifes and more. In the U.S. this new probiotic is now being introduced at Walgreens stores under the TheraBreath label. TheraBreath Multi Symptom Oral Care Probiotics is the rst product that effectively targets hostile bacteria in the oral cavity and throat, where the majority of illness-causing germs enter the body. The probiotic also protects teeth from bacterial cavities and tooth decay as it reduces plaque and biolm. The patented strain has been shown to break up the natural glue that allows these substances to stick to tooth and gum tissue. As biolm is removed, teeth even regain a natural whiter luster. TheraBreath improves overall gum health and strengthens germ resistance. For more info about oral care, visit www. therabreath.com/probiotics.

Studies have disclosed that petting a dog reduces blood pressure and heart rate. This stress buster provides positive health benets for the owners of 77.5 million dogs that reside in 39 percent of households, according to The Humane Society of the United States.

Keep Real Cooties at Bay

(NewsUSA) - The infectious disease known to children as cooties may not really exist, but the idea of advancing germs jumping from classmate to classmate isnt very far off. Despite all efforts to the contrary, schools tend to be a receptacle for all kinds of bad bacteria and germs. Most harmful bacteria are absorbed through the mouth, which can lead to ear infections, sore throats, colds, even gum disease. Kids will be kids, and sometimes its impossible to stop them from shoving every little object into their mouths -- which is why germ-related illness, like cooties, can spread quickly. While chants of circle circle, dot dot, now you have your cootie shot wont do much to prevent germs in schools, a real solution has arrived from New Zealand. Researchers at BLIS Technologies and Otago University in New Zealand recently discovered a new type of probiotic that, in early clinical trials, can help keep cooties away. Unlike current probiotics on grocery store shelves meant for digestion, this probiotic is for the mouth. There, benecial probiotic bacteria can help defend kids and adults from germs that cause a variety of unpleasant conditions -- sore throats, ear

High blood pressure and stress contribute to the fourth leading cause of death in America: stroke. The National Vital Statistics Report indicated that 137,000 Americans died of stroke in 2010. The American Stroke Association estimated that Americans spent $73.7 billion for stroke-related medical costs and disability in 2010.

Every 40 seconds, an American suffers a stroke, said Dr. Mureebe. Strokes occur suddenly and without warning. Two million brain cells die every minute during a stroke. Eighty percent of strokes are preventable through risk factor management.

Dogs Foster Activity While Improving Vascular Health

(NewsUSA) - Mans best friend provides more than mere companionship. Dogs encourage humans to exercise daily -come rain or shine. The need to take a daily walk provides dog owners with a great form of exercise, said Leila Mureebe, a member of the Society for Vascular Surgery. Exercise is good for the bodys blood supply, for maintaining proper body weight and for controlling blood pressure. For persons with high blood pressure -- and thats one in three Americans over age 20, according to a 2010 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report -- Fidos calming effect can be a life saver.

Thirty minutes of daily exercise, not smoking, and proper nutrition are included in risk factor management.
