ATLANTA, GA, November 03, 2010 (Press-News.org) Atlanta shredding company Shred-Green partnered with Embry Hills United Methodist Church to hold a free shredding event on Saturday, October 9, for the church's senior members. Senior citizens are especially vulnerable to identity theft; the free Atlanta paper shredding event was arranged as a precaution to help the church's senior members protect their personal information.
Senior citizens are often targets for identity theft, as many do not have the means to dispose of their documents in a secure way. They may also lack access to information helping them to protect themselves from identity theft scams carried out over the phone, Internet, or via mail.
Embry Hills United Methodist Church leads a "Seniors Are Special" ministry to benefit the seniors in its congregation. The free Atlanta document shredding event was an opportunity for the church's seniors to securely dispose of any documents containing sensitive personal information, keeping it safely out of the hands of identity thieves. The event is one of example of Embry Hills' work to extend its ministry beyond Sunday services to positively impact the lives of its members.
One of the guiding principles of Shred-Green is community outreach, and the free Atlanta paper shredding event at Embry Hills United Methodist Church is just one example of Shred-Green's commitment to community. The Atlanta shredding company regularly hosts discounted shredding events for families, charity fundraiser events, and other programs that allow the company to give back to the community.
Kathy Perkins, owner of Shred-Green, is pleased that the company was able to assist the seniors of Embry Hills through this Atlanta document shredding event. "We are happy to provide this service to seniors," Perkins explains, "and we applaud the staff at Embry Hills United Methodist Church for taking this step."

Appearances Can Be Deceiving in Sleep Apnea Cases: Even Athletes are at Risk
2010-11-03
A recent article on the Men's Health website told a cautionary tale of a man named Tom Zehmisch. He died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 46. Only four months earlier, he had participated in a national swim meet and he died while participating in a triathlon. To look at Tom, you would not have thought him to be at risk of obstructive sleep apnea.
The stereotypical obstructive sleep apnea patient is more like Don Dillard who, in 2007 had reached a staggering 401 pounds on the scale. He had been hospitalized four times for serious health problems including congestive ...

Specifically, the team found that combining an inhibitor of the protein BCL6 with either ...
