Your BCP Committee: Flash drives can be essential in emergencies

If your home were destroyed in a fire or similar disaster, how easily could you retrieve important documents — such as insurance papers, your driver’s license, passports, and wills? A very simple and inexpensive solution is to scan these documents and store them on a flash drive. Pat Ingelse of the Business Continuity Program Committee will tell you more about how this little tip can make a big difference!

North Shore Shape Up

Sugar linked to breast cancer: New research suggests that sugar — whether it’s high-fructose corn syrup, evaporated cane juice, fructose, dextrose, sucrose, glucose, maltodextrin, concentrated fruit juice, honey, or agave nectar — may increase not only your chance of contracting breast cancer, but also how aggressive the cancer is. So watch those labels! Added sugar is in all sorts of processed foods.
