Since the rise of the internet revolution, technology is not a supporting function any longer. Instead it has become an important driver of business growth for organizations of all sizes and from all sectors. Small businesses from non-technology sectors often find the task of trying to develop a technology strategy to be rather daunting, although most of these business don't even have one.
The companies are not only strapped for cash, but they also have little to no internal capabilities when it comes to technology as well as very little access to expert advice.
When a company does not have an effective technology strategy it can really be a drain on business resources, pushing the organization further behind the competition or even at times causing the organization to go out of business.
In this article we will provide useful advice to small business owners on how to get started. The following are some of the important factors that need to be considered when developing an effective technology strategy for a small business.
Government And Legal Compliance
Planning for technology to keep the business in government and legal compliance is the top priority. The last thing that a business wants to have happen is to get distracted away from its core trade and potentially going bankrupt having to contest litigations. As an example, a restaurant needs to have technology planned for Employee Time sheets, PCI Compliance, Sales Tax, etc.
Customer Experience And Core Business
Technology that facilitates customer experience and core business comes next. They are the services that customers pay for and generate revenue directly. A business must plan appropriately and allocate funding for this area. As an example, in order for a restaurant to be success, it needs to have good technology for taking customer orders and execute service and in the kitchen.
If customers don't receive the food they ordered or receive it late, it will affect the business of the restaurant. Providing customers with free WiFi internet can help to improve customer experience.
Digital Reputation And Marketing
To attract customers, a business must not only let customers know that it exists, but it must also make a buzz continuously in order to stay ahead of its competition. For any business' success, effective marketing is an extremely critical factor. In the internet savvy world of today, a majority of customers search about products and services online before purchasing it.
That makes having a good online reputation and maintaining it very important for all businesses. This is the next thing that a business needs to pay for and appropriate funds need to be allocated. As an example, a restaurant may want to set up a website to inform customers about their restaurant as well as the menu.
For digital reputation and marketing, it should set up and maintain an active presence on social networking platforms like Yelp, Twitter and Facebook. It can be more effective to use internet marketing methods instead of using traditional marketing channels since a larger audience can be reached at a much lower cost.
Operational Effectiveness And Efficiency
The next thing that needs to be considered is planning for technology that is related to improving operational effectiveness and efficiency. Investing in technology for operational efficiency helps to reduce costs, cut down on waste and improve your bottom line substantially.
Whenever savings from improved efficiency are more than the cost of the technology, it is a worthwhile investment. As an example, when a restaurant has technology for material planning and inventory, it can reduce food spoilage and inventory carry cost substantially, which adds directly to profits.
The Cloud, Outsource Or In-source
After you have determined what you want, then it is time for you to plan how these capabilities can be acquired. A majority of non-technology small business have no or minimal internal capability. In addition hiring staff for areas outside of the core of the business can be very expensive. So, unless a business already has employees with technology skills, taking the in-sourcing route might not be a very good strategy.
These days, most of the finest technology, both software and platforms, are usually available on the cloud. It should be considered as the first preference. For a small business, in addition to being cost effective, the cloud also enables a business to remain focused on what its core strengths are. Outsourcing can be considered, but only for things that aren't available on the cloud.
Data Security And Strategy
After planning what is needed, along with how it can be acquired, it's also very important to plan for and research retention, data storage and security strategy. It is critical that data storage be in compliance with all government laws for usage, encryption standards, retention period, physical location and other factors.
Before making a final decision on purchasing services with a cloud service provider, all agreements must be reviewed first. Usually cloud platforms come with the finest breed security infrastructure. When data is in-house it can add to safety and security costs.
Review On A Regular Basis
Always plant to review your Technology Strategy on a regular basis so that it stays in alignment with your business goals as well as other aspects that were discussed above. Keep in mind that the market, competitors, customer expectations, technology and laws are constantly change, so your strategy must as well in order to stay aligned.

I am a proud American. I am even more proud to be living in Utah. I voted and held my head high.
While my preferred candidate did not win, I am still proud. I will keep my eye on the politics of this country and I will be a voice to be heard. If any of these elected people decide that they will not represent my interests, then I will speak up. They will be accountable to what their promises were.
When "We the People" speak up they must listen. From our local officials, to the state and federal levels they work for us.
I am a proud American and I, along with millions of others, will be watching.

|Beware of Con-Cons, Union, NJ
Change the Constitution – or DESTROY It?
Beware of calls for a Constitutional Convention.
There are only two ways to modify the U.S. Constitution – by amendment or constitutional convention. The amendment method has been used 27 times. But a constitutional convention, or a "con-con," has NEVER been used, and with good reason.
Once set in motion, a con-con cannot be stopped or controlled. There is no mechanism to ensure a representative selection of delegates at a con-con, which can lead to a runaway convention and put the Constitution into the hands of those who want to radically change it – or destroy it altogether.
There are once again renewed calls for a con-con accompanied by the usual sleight-of-hand to try to throw Americans off the scent. Learn about the dangers and the deceptive calls and about the role your state's legislators can play to prevent a con-con in this brief but enlightening video presentation. It features former state senator Randy Brogdon and state representatives Charles Key and Dr. Michael Ritze.
|Location Union Public Library, 1980 Morris Avenue, Union, NJ

AMHERST - The Tri-Town Pee Wees had to fight off the penalty bug to earn a trip to the New York state Tier III U12 championshop game.
The Timberwolves were whistled for 11 penalties as they skated to a victory over Batavia-Genesee in sem-final round action Sunday morning.
Drew Rose opened the scoring for Tri-Town with his team skating down two players with an unsassisted marker in the first period. The Timberwolves scored three times in the middle stanza with two goals by Wyatte Roberts and Roses second lamplighter of the contest. Andrew Lantry rounded out the Larries scoresheet with a goal late in the third period.
Lantry, Colby Jenkinson and Eli Kocsis had solo assists in the semi-final win for Tri-Town.
Rico DiMatteo had a second period penalty shot stop in the Timberwolves net.
Tri-Town will face the Palisades Predators for the Tier III state crown, a club from West Nyack that has outscored its opponents 22-8 in its first four games of the state tournament.
A live feed of the 2 p.m. game is available at http://northtowncenter.com

Nutella is my favorite, I love this product. It is very tasty,Delicious. Fantastic spread for bread, toast, crackers, or as a topping on some other food items. Nutella is mind-bogglingly yummy.
I love this flavor of Soyjoy - Berry. I stock up in huge quantities. I take 2-3 of these to work and have one or two for breakfast and save one in case I need a snack. It is delicious - but it took some getting used to. It looks funny and almost appears overbaked on the bottom - but after you get past that - just enjoy. This is a fantastic product.

Meaning of Life in HIV-infected Youths

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Logotherapy has never been evaluated in HIV-infected teenagers. In this study, we will evaluate the meaning of life by using The Purpose in Life Test and the affect of logotherapy in HIV infected youth at HIV-NAT, Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre and King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
Meaning of Life
Behavioral: logotherapy
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
|Official Title:
|Meaning in Life of Youth Infected With HIV
- PIL score [ Time Frame: week 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Change of PIL score at baseline and follow up visit between the two arms
- QOL [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|February 2011
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|June 2016
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|June 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Treatment arm (logotherapy)
Participants in Arm I will attend the logotherapy group sessions by the trained psychologist for 4 visits (see Table II, III). The number of participants in group sessions will be 20 participants per group.
Behavioral: logotherapy
Logotherapy is therapy during which the interaction between the therapist and the client centres on the topic of meaning. The problems that the clients experience are presented to the client as inseparable parts of his everyday life. The client is then challenged to discover his/her meaning and to take responsibility in facing up to his/her problem. This approach is aimed at helping the client to deal and understand what his /her existences entail.
No Intervention: Control arm (general health education)
Participants in Arm II will attend the routine health education by the nurse. The number of participants in group session will be 20 participants per group.
Detailed Description:
In the HAART era, HIV infected children can live longer and will grow up to become teenagers. However, some may develop psychosocial problems because they have lost family members, experienced poverty, social discrimination etc. Being a normal teenager is tough and is the most complex period of his/her life. This is the period when most teenagers will find their identity and reasons for living. Therefore it is believed that interventions may help HIV-infected teenagers better deal with life. For this study, logotherapy, a therapy that will help a person to discover his/her purpose in life, live meaningful life, and attain self-esteem was used. The success of the intervention was evaluated by using The Purpose in Life Test.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Billionaires Charles and David Koch, as world's leading environmentalists? Sounds absurd, right? Actually it's inevitable. By the 2020-2030 decade, today's most powerful climate-deniers, the Koch Brothers (certainly their heirs), will be nudged by global macroeconomic trends to embrace their nemesis.
If they don't, they'll risk losing the Koch Empire, a vast network of energy and commodity companies generating $115 billion in annual revenues, creating a family fortune of $62 billion. Here's why this destiny is not only inevitable, they'll create it:
Begin with Charles Koch on the cover of Forbes special, "World's Most Powerful People." Koch's commanding presence reminds us of great American generals: Grant, Patton, MacArthur — although maybe the great Prussian theorist, Carl von Clausewitz, who believed "war was continuation or expression of politics," is a better comparison.
Why? Prior to the Romney-Obama vote, Koch said it was "the mother of all wars," betting over $100 million on a conservative victory "to reshape America," reports Daniel Fisher in Forbes.
But will Koch heirs fight the same fierce battles as Charles and David?
Charles leads the Koch Empire into battle with liberals, environmentalists, the planet. A true warrior. Just reading the Forbes cover story, "Inside The Koch Empire," you know he loves this fight: "We get threats from people in Congress, and this is pushed out and becomes part of the culture: That we are evil so we need to be destroyed."
Evil? Be destroyed? At a deep level there must be a belief their "Empire" is threatened, that they must defend it, counterattack. This is war. They're using their $115 billion a year Empire to reshape capitalism and politics "in their image." Armed with "$62 billion net worth, Charles and his brother David have been building their empire for 50 years, and although "their election bet fizzled," Fisher writes, "rest assured, the Koch Brothers say, they're just getting started."
David punctuates the military metaphor: They will fight even harder, smarter, with more resources in "2016 and beyond: We're going to fight the battle as long as we breathe. We want to bequeath to our children a better and more prosperous America. That means more of the same tactics, as well as whatever new ones election lawyers cook up," probably countering with a high-tech Obama-style election machine to overwhelm the Democrats.
Yes, the Koch Bros are in a war to "Reshape America:" But they are 77 and 72. In 2030, will their heirs have the passion to wage the same war with the same intensity? Unlikely.
Koch Empire as eco-capitalists and major environmentalists by 2030
The Koch brothers are arch-capitalists in the Ayn Rand tradition, in a war to amass territory, land, assets, capital, politicians, the environment, planet and "reshape it in their image." You can feel their conviction in Forbes description of their military-style capitalism: "Koch Industries swallowed a fertilizer business, thousands of miles of pipelines, DuPont's fibers business in 2004 and Georgia-Pacific the following year, all around a consistent theme of converting commodities into more valuable products," says Forbes.
Yes, the Koch Empire's core strategy is a "consistent theme of converting commodities into more valuable products." More commodities converted, more agricultural products, more chemicals, more construction, more lumber, more paper, more everything, plus more pipelines to deliver more and more energy, commodities, food to a global population exploding from seven billion today to 10 billion in the next generation.
But ironically, Koch's strategy will probably backfire: The next generation of Koch heirs will inherit their vast expanding Empire in a world in which less than a decade ago the Pentagon predicted would face the "mother of all national security issues," and "by 2020 there is little doubt that something drastic is happening. As the planet's carrying capacity shrinks an ancient pattern re-emerges: the eruption of desperate, all-out wars over food, water and energy supplies and warfare defining human life."
Ask yourself: If these predictions of global warfare materialize in the 2020-2030 decade, will Charles and David's heirs be able to hold onto the same dogmatic Ayn Rand vision of capitalism that guided Reagan, Greenspan and the Koch Bros. the past generation?
Rand called for a "pure, uncontrolled, unregulated laissez-faire capitalism" that today aggressively denies global warming science, denies scientific evidence of climate change, that invests hundreds of millions in think tanks and politicians who fight for the freedom to treat the environment as a commodity, an exploitable corporate asset, and a perpetual source of profits solely for stockholders and insiders, never the public.
Welcome to a new era of resource depletion and austerity
The Koch Empire is one of the leaders in a war that international security expert Michael Klare warns of in "The Race for What's Left: The Global Scramble for the World's Last Resources." Klare earlier published his classic, "Resource Wars: The New Landscape of Global Conflict," a look ahead to a world that he hopes will not "end in war, widespread starvation, or a massive environmental catastrophe," although he admits they really are "the probable results of persisting in the race for what's left."
Bottom line: All capitalists are in a race for "what's left," the world's disappearing commodity resources. And "no matter how much corporate or government officials wish to deny it," Klare warns, "there is not nearly enough nonrenewable resources on this planet to perpetually satisfy the growing needs of a ballooning world population."
Yes, free-market capitalism is in a race, a downhill race fueling the great commodity wars that will define human life and human civilization, a perfect storm of global wars, mass starvation, pandemics, environmental catastrophes, total anarchy, emerging dead ahead.

HUD pays a fortune in false claims. The government's Preforeclosure Sale Program was meant to help struggling homeowners facing foreclosure. But an audit by the Department of Housing and Urban Development says that the government may have paid as much as $1.06 billion in bogus claims. Of 80 randomly selected claims, six homeowners who received government assistance faced "no unavoidable financial hardship," the audit found. Many had enough savings to make several months of mortgage payments. Investigators have called for HUD to strengthen its controls over the program. Right; let's put a good lock on that barn door, fellows.
A lot more paper than gold. Here's a statistic that gave me pause. The Federal Reserve creates about 55 million more dollars every hour, 24 hours a day. But all of the gold mines in the world extract only $15 million of gold from the earth in an hour. U.S. production is a fraction of that, amounting to only $2 million worth of gold per hour. In other words, Ben Bernanke creates what passes as "money" 27 times faster than all of the gold mines in this country. Gee, which do you think will be worth more down the road?
Those models are too tan. In Sweden, fashion retailer H&M has been fined because the models it used in advertising some of its bikinis were too tan. "It is commonly known that an excessive exposure of the skin to the sun's harmful radiation is dangerous and could lead to skin cancer," the complaint said. H&M promptly apologized and said in an email: "We have taken note of the views and will continue to discuss this internally ahead of future campaigns."

Garage doors can open and close on their own. Although it's rare, here's what to look for.
Want your garage door to work smoothly, quietly and safely? Have it inspected periodically. Want to DIY some of the work? Be sure to follow this expert advice.
Worried about upsells? Here are tips to help you distinguish between a valuable home-service contractor recommendation and a sales pitch you're better off ignoring.

Here's the video I used - I found it pretty helpful:
Garage door spring replacements cost me less than $100 by doing it myself and only took me about 25 minutes. As far as I know, changing out the garage door springs will solve most issues. I found at kit online at a place called garage door nation and just bought that one since they seemed the most legit and included all the extras.
I am usually not good with these types of things. I saved almost $500 by doing it myself.
Hope this helps!
Assuming you are talking rollup garage door - issues similar but not as many parts on a tilt-up door.
Many rollup doors in residential use go 30 years or more on original springs.
Generally, they do not need to be replaced till they break. A broken one should be pretty obvious - the door will open very hard because it is being pulled up more at one side than the other, if at all, and one spring will be wound tight while the other will be looser, and usually the break is a visibly obvious one - either a visible break in the main portion of the spring, or the free end that goes into the end plate is broken off. Compare the springs against each other to see they look the same.
Also, if you think a spring is broken but can't see anything wrong, maybe the set screws that hold the end plates tight onthe axle have vibrated loose, relaxing the tension on the spring.
As the door gets older you may need to have a garage door repairman adjust the spring tension tighter if the door starts opening hard or balking at opening, though that is more often a problem with dirty slider track and bearings from dust accumulation, which you can clean with WD40 and then lubricate the side support rollers with motor oil or household oilcan. On lubrication of the slider track there are differences of opinion - some say clean with a non-oily solvent like brake cleaner and leave it clean and ddry so dust does not stick to it, other say oil with a light household oil or WD40. I prefer the latter so the plastic slider does not get worn out sliding on the metal slider track or pole, though it definitely does accumulate an oily dust grunge. The cleaning and lubricating should be done at least yearly - every 3-6 months if you use the door multiple times a day, more often if you are in a real dusty area like the Dust Bowl, the desert, or close to the beach.
I think he is trying to upsell you on something you don't need, or their company policy is neer fix, always replace - some companies are in that mode not, to prevent future call-backs when it does not work.
IF only needs screws, sounds like a good do it yourself job with self-tapping sheet metal screws. Or a Handyman could do for maybe $50-70 if that is all that is needed.
If the weatherstrip is damaged and in on the front edge of the garage door, one other possibility - replace with one like this, or screw a bottom compression type rubber weatherstrip on the bottom of the door - actually work a lot better than the face-mounted ones anyway, in my opinion. Look like this from M-D Building Products and Frost King among others. Can also be used nailed to frame to flap contacts door face as an edge and top weatherstrip -

A small fire was reported to be coming out of a stack above the boiler room shortly after 6 p.m. Although it was apparently limited to the chimney, responders wanted to be sure it had not spread. Fire fighters did not have to spray any water in the building. There were no injuries and patients did not have to be evacuated. One visitor to the hospital reported a "chemical smell" was detectable, unlike wood or plastic. The cause of the fire was undetermined Wednesday afternoon.

Sublimation & the Sports Fan
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Tue, 08/08/06, 01:20pm:
I recently had a correspondence with one of the sports blogosphere's best - a guy who does better work than just about any of us. We started the discussion with the Ozzie Guillen flap, but ultimately the conversation became about how being a sports fan demands all kinds of irrational sublimation.
How can a gay ChiSox fan possibly root for Ozzie's success? What about rooting for a collection of known rapists when the most important thing in your life is your five-year-old daughter? Should you give your money to an owner who is a crony of George Bush if you have a truly principled stance against the Administration? Some of these questions we posed directly; others I thought about later.
We agreed that being a sports fan isn't rational - which may explain why the ballpark (April-October) and the arena (November-May) serve as my houses of worship; my fandom is visceral and makes no more sense than, say, someone's belief that there's a big man upstairs calling all the shots who needs our constant reassurance. But when I go to the Clips game and yell, it's affirming. So that's why we keep rooting.
The reason I bring this up is that the Department of Justice yesterday sued Donald T. Sterling for violating the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits landowners from "discrimination on the basis of race, national origin and familial status." This isn't Sterling's first go-around with the DOJ, nor is the Bush administration's Justice Department known for being overly obtrusive in matters of social vigilance.
From the LA Times:
In the seven-page complaint, Justice Department lawyers said Sterling's agents at various times have refused to rent to non-Koreans at their buildings in Koreatown, and have been guilty of "creating, maintaining, and perpetuating an environment that is hostile" to existing non-Korean tenants.
According to the lawsuit, the Sterling companies also have refused to rent to African Americans at properties in Beverly Hills, and have misrepresented the availability of units to blacks and families with children.
Prosecutors are seeking a court order that would bar future acts of discrimination, along with monetary damages for alleged victims, none of whom was identified.
"Here in Los Angeles, where housing is already at a premium, it is imperative that no one be denied housing simply because of their skin color, ethnic background or because they have children," said Debra Wong Yang, U.S. attorney in Los Angeles. "The Justice Department is dedicated to ending all discriminatory housing practices, along with every other type of civil rights violation."
The case is an echo of a private lawsuit filed against the Sterlings in 2003 on behalf of about 20 mostly black and Latino tenants or prospective tenants. According to that suit, filed by the Housing Rights Center, a Los Angeles nonprofit group, Sterling had told members of his staff that he did not like to rent to Latinos or African Americans because "Hispanics smoke, drink and just hang around the building," and "black tenants smell and attract vermin."
The assumption here is that most readers have an easier time than I do parsing their consumer loyalties from their overall worldview. I, on the other hand, have trouble doing that. Do I really want to drop $1,700 per seat into the pocket of a guy who does America the wrong way? Should I just sublimate my guilt and root for the nine black guys in the world that Sterling does like?
Just something to think about while we wait for Elton to fracture his second metatarsal over in China.

I do not have an extensive knowledge on how difficult it is to gain access to a Visa for entering the country.
However, it seems to be fairly difficult for certain players, and it doesn't make sense to me. It seems as if quite a few players are late to camp due to visa issues. (Ronny Paulino JUST showed up today for the first time!)
Shouldn't clubs make sure they are ready before spring training gets rolling? Or do they not have enough power to do this? It's a touchy subject probably, but a guy like Paulino is really needed in camp as a Catcher. He needs to learn the pitchers and bond with them. Is there anything teams can do to speed the process up, or is it out of their hand?

Excess vs. Excessive
When excess is used an as adjective, are these words the same. Is there a case for using one over another?
Sort by
My sense is that excess means "more than is necessary" whereas excessive means "too much." The two are very close in meaning, but there is a shade of difference. Excess is normally used with materials, where the unnecessary matter can be disposed of. Excessive is more frequently used in an abstract sense, when there is some quality that is way over the top and should be dialed back.
The plastic model of the car had excess flashing, which we trimmed off with a utility knife.
I'm tired of the excessive violence on TV.

In an op-ed published last Thursday in the Wall Street Journal, Senators Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), declared that "Republicans in the Senate are united" behind the passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment. Senators Snowe and DeMint mentioned no exceptions to the roster of Republican senatorial support for the controversial addition to the Constitution. In fact, all 47 Republican Senators are said to favor the erstwhile effort to restrain government and reduce spending.
"With our federal debt exceeding $14 trillion — nearly 100 percent of our gross domestic product — fiscal calamity is jeopardizing our standard of living and undermining our national security," the statement warned.
Even reliable friends of the Constitution such as Senators Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) are adding their voices to the BBA chorus.

Reyes negotiations will not be a quick process
According to Andy Martino of the Daily News, the Mets will first check in with Jose Reyes, "perhaps make a modest offer, then step back while he collects proposals and allows other clubs to set his market value."
The Mets exclusive window to negotiate with Reyes expires on Thursday, November 3, or five days after the end of the World Series, after which he is free to talk to other teams.
"Jose is not going to be a quick process," a source told Martino. 'The fan base would love for it to be that way, but a quick process would mean that he will not be a Met. Let him go do the dance, and see how (other teams) value him. Why should we set the market?"
So far, people have mentioned to me the Phillies, Giants, Marlins, Nationals, Angels, Brewers and obviously the Mets (as teams who could end up signing Reyes). The Mets want him back and he wants to be back with the Mets. However, at the same time, while Jose loves New York and the team's fans and he wants to stay with the Mets, he has concerns about the direction of the franchise (and he'll want to hear from Sandy on what his plans are to get this team back to winning).
Here are other key updates about Jose over the last day or so:

No makeup? No problem!
After stunning in the front row of the Christian Dior runway show at Paris Fashion Week, Jennifer Lawrence rocked a more laid-back look at Montreal airport on Tuesday -- where she wasn't wearing makeup.
Dressed head to toe in all black (save for some pink toes on her snazzy shoes) and sporting a fresh face, the 22-year-old actress returned to Canada to continue filming "X-Men: Days of Future Past."
We gotta give it to her, J-Law still looks pretty good after a seven-hour flight, right?
Earlier this week, Jennifer showed another patch of bare skin -- as she flaunted her fit stomach at the Dior show.
Jennifer has clearly been working out, probably to slip into her very revealing Mystique costume for the next mutant movie.
Check out more stars without makeup above -- they don't all look as good as Miss Lawrence!

(NEWS CENTER) - The Thornton Academy Golden Trojans ended one streak last week at Bolous Stadium, by beating the Cheverus Stags in the Class A Western Maine Championship Game and stopping their 34 game winning streak. This week, Coack Kevin Kezal's Trojans looked to erase a state championship drought that has lasted since 1988. Well Kezal's squard did just that, defeating the Lawrence Bulldogs 37-23 at Fitzpatrick Stadium Saturday.

The teams went back and forth all day until Thornton Academy gained the advantage by scoring 14 points in a little over 1 minute in the 3rd quarter. Thornton Academy standout junior Andrew Libby scored 2 touchdowns, including a spectacular 48 yrd punt return.
The Lawrence Bulldogs play strong all day long led by QB and defensive back Spencer Carey. Carey threw a beauty 30 yrd TD pass to Lefrance in the 2nd quarter. Lawrence play was also highligted by a spectacular up the guy 54 yard TD scamper by Josh Doolan in the 4th quarter.
This was Thornton Academy's 1st title since 1988 and Lawrence returned to Gold Ball Saturday after last seasons defeat at the hands of the Cheverus Stags.

Read: The Rangers Are Built To Do Some Damage
Prior to the lockout ending, Michael Del Zotto spoke with Ken Campbell of The Hockey News about how frustrating it was for the lockout to be preventing the Rangers from taking another step.
Del Zotto said that once they got a chance to play, the Rangers would show what kind of team they are.
Following the first day of training camp, Henrik Lundqvist said, at ESPNNY, that the key to taking the next step is all in execution "I think we have the team to do it. But then it's about executing and go out there. We look at the guys in the room, they're great hockey players, but it's about executing and see if we can do it."
Marc Staal said "We have to make sure that we focus on the way we need to play and pick up where we left off last year and go from there and not get too distracted by the big picture."
Ryan Callahan made it known that last year was in the past and that the Rangers need to go out and prove themselves all over again.

RBC, a popular mobile banking provider announced the release their unlocked iPhone 4 app earlier in the day. It came as a bit of a surprise, then, when later in the day they also announced that they would be releasing a BlackBerry app as well. It was interesting that the announcements did not come at the same time, but nevertheless, the outcome in the same in the end.
The app appears to be quite useful, allowing you to check the balance of any of your accounts, transfer your funds from one account to another, pay any outstanding bills that you have, transfer money to other banks and even find the closest ATM to you.
The app has been released in both French and English. The total space that it takes up is 3 MB, and the phone is compatible with six different types of Unlocked BlackBerry devices. The company has made a demo available on their website for those of us that would like to try it out. They boast speed, safety and security in the long run.
As more banks continue to add applications for their users to manage their funds with, security has always been a big concern. RBC has stressed that they have gone to great lengths to ensure that they keep their users, and their money secure. All of the proper channels are in place to make sure that no one gains control of your account.
The company did not say in their announcement whether they were planning on releasing a version for other platforms as well. You would think that they would be interested in releasing something for Windows Phone 7 as it becomes more popular or even the Android platform, where a large number of their users probably reside. So far no substantial bugs have been reported with the RBC online mobile banking software.

When, and how, to give your teen a credit card
Consider giving your child a credit card linked to yours. "Not only will your teen inherit your good credit rating, but it will also allow you to see how much they are spending," the foundation said. A good plan is to tell teens at first to use the card only for emergencies. If they show they can handle that limitation, allow spending that they can fully pay off with the first bill.
Review spending each month. "When the bill arrives, sit down and review your statement with them so that you can make sure they understand how to read them," the foundation said. Point out how interest can accrue if the bill is not paid off every month. Explain the importance of building and maintaining good credit.
Use an online payoff calculator to show your child how long it will take to pay off a credit card debt. "Since credit cards have very high interest rates, teach your teen that paying the minimum payment will keep the debt growing -- even if no other purchases are made," the foundation said.
Teach your child about the dangers of credit card fraud and identity theft. Be sure to tell teenagers never to lend their credit cards to someone else, leave receipts lying out in the open or give their card number over the phone to questionable callers.
Resist the urge to bail out teenagers who spend too much. Go over their options with them -- getting a job, working more hours, cutting back on spending. Consider setting up an appointment with a credit counselor. You can find counselors through the NFCC by calling 800-388-2227.

G M Foods
What are G M foods?
Genetically modified or G M foods are foods produced from plants or animals which have had their genetic make up altered by scientists. By modifying the genes, they can alter the characteristics of an animal or organism. This could be to boost crop yields, increase resistance to disease or in the case of animals to increase bulk or muscle.
For many years farmers and horticulturalists have engaged in the practice of cross-breeding to produce desirable characteristics in crops and animals. However, genetic engineering is a more specific process. Scientists can identify a single gene and either transfer that stretch of DNA or modify the gene so that it switches off the undesirable characteristic. The first G M food was created in 1983 and was a tobacco plant that was antibiotic resistant. Ten years later, in the United States, the first commercial G M food was a slow ripening tomato. In 1996, the first G M product was launched in the United Kingdom in the form of tomato puree.
Arguments for and against G M foods?
Some argue that scientists do not fully understand the way in which genes operate and therefore should not attempt to modify them. Critics argue that the use of DNA from plant viruses may trigger disease. They also fear that genes placed into specific crops may be transferred to other species with adverse reactions. In particular, genes that carry herbicide or insect resistance if transferred may lead to the creation of super weeds.
An environmental argument put forward is that the British countryside has already been subjected to a variety of pesticide products that have affected the 'natural balance' of the countryside and G M crops would only add to this imbalance.
Anti G M protesters object to the use of antibiotic resistant marker genes used in the modifying process. They feel that the antibiotic resistant genes could be passed into organisms and we would not have the necessary drugs to combat this.
To counter the above arguments genetic engineers argue that much of our 'conventional food' has already been treated using a variety of chemicals and that the regulations concerning the production of G M foods are far greater than those for 'normal food production'. They argue that the use of genes from plant viruses offer little risk to humans.
G M scientists argue that genetic modification can improve the nutritional value of the food and that unhealthy fat levels can be reduced. They say that medicinal characteristics can be introduced to the food, such as anti-cancer agents.
Environmental arguments put forward in favour of G M foods are that fewer chemicals would be needed to manage G M crops. Genetically engineered higher yields would ease pressure on threatened, uncultivated land.
Is it safe to eat G M foods?
All food sold or consumed in the European Union, is subjected to regulations which should ensure the food is fit for human consumption. However, due to public concern over G M foods, many manufacturers and supermarket chains have excluded G M derived foods from their stocks.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- Dozens of people headed over to the Bangor Civic Center this weekend to do some local shopping for the holiday season.
The civic center hosted the annual 'Bangor Arts and Craft Show,' which isone of eight shows put on each year by 'United Maine Craftsmen.' More than 80 vendors were on hand to sell pottery, decorations and tasty 'made in Maine' treats.
'United Maine Craftsmen' represents about 300 artisans from around the state. Directors say shows like this weekend's go a long way in helping them keep up business.
"They can work for themselves and have that creative outlet and have this opportunity to sell their wares here," said Aletha Boyle, who is the president of the organization, "and then they are keeping all this money in the state of Maine and they're self employed which is huge! It's amazing to be able to do that."
The 'Augusta Arts and Crafts Show' will be taking place November 10 and 11 at the Augusta Civic Center. The '38th Annual Thanksgiving Arts and Crafts Show' will follow at the Brewer Auditorium from November 23 to November 25.
The organization will conclude the holiday season with the '35th Annual Holiday Arts and Crafts Show' at the University of Southern Maine on December 1 and December 2.
