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

Guest Columnist

“The Lies MUST Stop” -by Bob Perry The Supreme Court has been chal-lenged numerous times on lies, and the 1st Amendment has proven to have un-bridled protection from the Court. In June 2012 the Court handed down a decision that the Stolen Valor Act, (a law created in 2006 to combat phony claims of heroism in battle during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars), violates the 1st Amendment. The case was about an local elected offi cial (Xavier Alvarez) in California making claims to have been wounded several time by one sol-dier and subsequently been awarded the Medal of Honor. All he claimed was false. Did the Court get it right in its 6-3 vote? By this decision, the Stolen Valor Act was declared unconstitutional and seems to have cemented the right to lie in most any case. When it comes to the oath of offi ce for the President, the elected President swears to “…..to the best of my Abil-ity, ..”. If the President lies to us, the electorate, than he has proven his abil-ity to lie. A liar is a liar and this is un-questioned, not a Christian virtue. Most other oaths do not include ‘to the best of my ability..”, but they do swear to

the ‘constitution of’ and this implies doing what is best for the ‘sovereignty of..’. Lying is NOT doing what is best for… In my humble opinion, any and all elected offi cials have lost their right to lie to the very people that elected them. The Court in the decision regarding the Stolen Valor Act was focused upon the Act itself and not upon the ability and right of an elected offi cial to lie. We need a case be brought before the Court specifi cally on the right to lie be-fore the electorate. The real problem with lies, is that they create a percep-tion that in itself is hard to change. Next election do some research on the candidates and see who has been observed in the despicable act of ly-ing. If one declares to be a Christian, or to have Christian virtues, and tells lies, that one does NOT have Christian virtues. Vote for one that has proven Christian virtues. I am convinced that if elected offi cial we forced to face the likes of Eric But-terbean Esch in a boxing ring after tell-ing a lie, the lying would stop!!!!!!!!!!!

We were present for the Titusville vs. Bradford “Y” Dual Swim Meet held in Titusville, Saturday, October 26th, where we picked up a couple of photos for this issue. After a few start-up delays, the event went along smoothly where the Bradford “Y” Barracudas swam away with a win for the meet…….On Monday of this week we visited the School Street Elementary School where we spent time in Mrs. Rhoades fourth grade class-room and in Miss Hunter’s Art Room. The students in Mrs. Rhoades room had selected books from the classroom li-brary and were working at silent reading of their choice. Our readers will see from the caption lines of the photos included in this issue that these students showed a surprising diversity in choice of read-ing. In the art room, Mrs. Peterson’s third grade students were receiving instruction in the rudiments of art and design, specifi -cally, a lesson on the various qualities of the line……..Our Halloween pages this week, pages 8 & 9, include the follow-ing sponsors Cavallaro’s “How YA Brew-ing,” Burns & Burns Associates, Inc., Dexter’s Service & Collision, Tasta Pizza, Timeless Treasures Gift Shop, Copy Con-nection, Bottorf Embroidery and Screen Printing, and the Bradford VFW Post #212…….Gasoline prices continue to vary in a strange away around Penn-sylvania. We would think that places closest to oil production and refi neries would have the lowest prices, consider-ing lower transportation costs. But that has never been the case in Northwest Pennsylvania. The highest prices in the State to our recollection, can usually be found in locations along a diagonal from Pittsburgh toward Bradford. On the other hand, our computer driven price checks around the state, on most occa-sions, fi nd prices 10 to 30 cents per gallon cheaper in Erie and most other areas of the state to the East of Bradford. The prices in the Southeast of Pennsylvania have been consistently and dramatically lower than ours over the last six months. So what are we to think about this phenomenon- the “Pittsburgh-Bradford Diagonal?” Obama, when he was running President had his ideas, and many who have experienced the area of the State in question have no-ticed other things that were peculiar about this region. Perhaps it’s a case of pricing that begins with establishing a distribution network in which there is an agreement by various companies to receive gasoline at a set price and distribute gasoline at a set rate- the going rate for the area, and then “charging whatever the traffi c will bear” for those customers who live within the network.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESDon’t Ignore Tax Deduction For Moving Expenses

-by Jason Alderman Whether you’re relocating across town or across the country, moving is expen-sive. By the time you’ve paid to have your household goods packed and moved, can-celled and reconnected utilities and racked up storage fees, you could easily be out thousands of dollars. Many people don’t realize that if they’re moving to start a new job, trans-ferring with a current employer or even re-turning to the U.S. to retire after working abroad, their moving expenses may be tax deductible. Plus, moving expenses are an “above-the-line” deduction, which means they reduce your adjusted gross income and can be claimed even if you don’t item-ize deductions. Two tests generally must be satisfi ed to claim a moving-expense deduction: Distance test. The distance between your new job and your former home must be at least 50 miles farther than your pre-vious workplace is from that home. For example, if you used to work 10 miles from home, your new workplace must be at least 60 miles from your old home. If this is your fi rst job or you were unem-ployed, the job must be at least 50 miles from your old home. Time Test. Regular employees must work full-time at least 39 weeks during the 12 months after moving, although the weeks needn’t be consecutive or for the same employer. (For self-employed people, it’s 78 weeks during the fi rst 24 months.) If you moved this year, you can claim the deduction on your 2013 taxes even if you haven’t yet met the time test, provid-ed you expect to during the coming year. If you later fail to meet the time test, you must reverse the deduction, either by in-cluding the amount as “other income” on your 2014 tax return, or by fi ling an amended 2013 return. Qualifi ed moving expenses include: • Costs for packing and transporting household goods, personal effects, pets and vehicles.• Fees to disconnect and/or connect utili-ties.• Travel costs for you and household members to the new home. (Meals cannot be charged). • Use of your car during the move.• Storing and insuring your possessions for up to 30 days.• Note: Family members needn’t move at the same time nor by the same means of transportation.Expenses that do not qualify include: • Expenses of buying or selling a home, including closing costs, mortgage fees, house-hunting expenses, home improve-

ments or new furnishings.• Loss on the sale of your old home.• Charges for signing or breaking a lease.• Fees for new car tags or driver’s license in your new locale.• Expenses incurred on side trips en route to your new home (e.g., sightseeing).• Security deposits (including any given up due to the move).• Also, you cannot take a moving ex-pense deduction and a business expense deduction for the same expenses. See IRS Publication 521 for all eligible and ineligible expenses and other details about the moving expense deduction. To fi le for the deduction, complete IRS Form

3903 and attach it to a Form 1040 Income Tax Return. You don’t need to complete a Schedule A unless you are otherwise item-izing deductions. (You cannot claim mov-ing expenses on a 1040EZ Form.) Also note: If your employer reimburses you for any deductible expenses, you must reduce your moving deduction by that amount; and, employer reimbursement for non-deductible expenses will likely be treated as wages on your W-2 Form. Take a few minutes to calculate wheth-er you qualify for the moving expense de-duction – you could save a bundle on your taxes

Halloween Safety Tips: With many communities holding trick-or-treat nights, PennDOT is urging motorists to slow down and watch carefully for little princesses, witches and pirates. Children are unpredictable – and even more so when they’re excited -- which means motorists need to slow down and expect the unexpected. We’re also asking parents to help by reviewing safety tips with their children and helping them to choose safe costumes. Motorists should be extremely cautious on neighborhood streets as children may dart out between parked vehicles or walk on the side of the road. In addition to motorists, parents and guardians can help increase safety and visibility of children by following a few sim-ple tips:•Buy or make brightly-colored, highly-visible costumes that do not interfere with a child’s ability to see, hear or walk;

•Consider adding strips of reflective tape to darker-colored cos-tumes or trick-or-treat bags;

•Encourage children to carry a flashlight or glow stick;

•Accompany young children while they are trick-or-treating;

•Remind children to pay attention to their surroundings and to look both ways before crossing a street; and

•Tell children to walk instead of run and to stay on sidewalks whenever possible.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDECreating The Next

Generation Of Lifesavers (NAPSI)—Nearly 360,000 people ex-perience cardiac arrest outside of a hos-pital each year and most of those victims die, often because bystanders don’t know how to start CPR or are afraid they’ll do something wrong. The American Heart Association believes kids are the answer to saving more lives. How That Works The nation’s oldest and largest vol-untary organization dedicated to fi ght-ing heart disease and stroke, the Ameri-can Heart Association, is helping prepare more students, their teachers and their families to save lives with the CPR in Schools Training Kit™. The hands-on, in-teractive kit is based on the latest science and makes it easy for educators to train the next generation of lifesavers in 30 minutes or less. Students practice CPR with their own infl atable manikin while watching and learning from a DVD such lifesaving tech-niques as hands-only CPR, giving breaths, choking relief and how to use an auto-mated external defi brillator. The portable kit can be reused to train a whole class, grade or school. Each kit comes with 10 manikins and instructional DVDs so kids can take training home and help pass these lifesaving skills on to their family and community. Doctor’s Opinion “Four out of every fi ve out-of- hospi-tal cardiac arrests occur in private or resi-dential settings, so we have to fi nd ways to emphasize the importance of knowing CPR to save the lives of family members and loved ones,” said Robert W.

American Institute for Cancer Research

Q: Do the various kinds of winter squash differ in nutrients or recom-mended preparation? A: Winter squash comes in many sizes, shapes and varieties; almost all are great sources of compounds called carotenoids. Two of these, alpha- and beta-carotene, promote cell-to-cell communication, reducing risk of un-controlled cell growth that can lead to cancer. Lutein and zeaxanthin are two “cousin” carotenoid compounds that are concentrated in the lens and retina of our eyes. They protect eye health by fi ltering out high-energy UV rays, known as blue light, that can create damage. Winter squash is also a good source of vitamin C, potassium and di-etary fi ber, all with about 75 calories a serving, about a cup of cooked squash cubes. Spaghetti squash is a little lower in calories, fi ber and the nutrients noted above. Its preparation is unique, too, since after cooking, you can pull its

strands out with a fork to serve like spaghetti. The other squash each have slightly distinctive fl avors and textures, and all make savory additions to soup, stir-fries, stews, curries and mixed oven-roasted vegetables. Each can be baked, steamed or microwaved to serve stuffed, in chunks or puréed, often ac-companied with sweet spices (cinna-mon, ginger), fruits (such as apples or cranberries) or nuts. Acorn squash are small with a very hard rind, so they are often cut in half and baked without peeling. Butternut squash is sweet and moist with a slight nutty fl avor, and the skin is easy to peel, so they are great when you want chunks to roast or add to stews. Buttercup squash has a deli-cious sweet fl avor, but because it can be a bit dry, use it in moist dishes like soups. Don’t be afraid of large squash like Hubbard, because you can freeze the leftovers or any you don’t use, ei-ther in raw slices or after cooking in cubes or puréed.

Understanding Medicareby Patricia Smith

(NAPSI)—During Medicare’s annual open enrollment period, which ends De-cember 7, millions of Medicare benefi -ciaries must decide on their Medicare Ad-vantage (MA) health plan for the coming year. While many factors go into decid-ing about a plan—cost, choice of doctors, benefi ts—there’s one important question Medicare benefi ciaries should ask: What is the quality rating of the plans I’m con-sidering? A high rating means better health care and the best value for your money. Medi-care uses a system called Star Ratings. Plans receive a rating of up to fi ve stars. These ratings are based on things like how well the plan does at keeping people healthy by making sure they get the treat-ments, tests and vaccines they need to pre-vent illness, how quickly you can get an appointment and see specialists, and how the plan responds to your complaints and concerns. For 2014, over a third of MA plans will receive four or more stars, which is an increase from 28 percent in 2013. Seven of the 11 MA plans earning fi ve stars this year are members of the Alliance of Com-munity Health Plans, an organization rep-resenting the nation’s leading health plans. You can learn more about MA plans—and their quality ratings—using the Medi-care Plan Finder at: www.Medicare.gov MA plans are called “Medicare Health Plans” in the Plan Find-er. The National Committee for Quality Assurance also evaluates quality in MA plans; those rankings can be found at www.ncqa.org • Ms. Smith is president and CEO of the Alliance of Community Health Plans, www.achp.org

Pairing Beef And California Avocados Creates Craveable Dishes (NAPSI)--Recently, numerous home cooks competed in the 2013 National Beef Cook-Off contest, funded by The Beef Checkoff. This year, contestants were challenged with a new recipe category—Craveable Fresh Beef and Fresh Califor-nia Avocado. Contestants developed fl a-vorful and nutritious dishes that paired delicious lean beef and creamy California avocados. Many experts say lean beef—fi lled with protein, iron and B vitamins-can help satisfy you and maintain a healthy weight, build muscles and fuel an active life-style. California avocados are also nutri-ent dense, in that they provide substantial amounts of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients with relatively few calories. In fact, one-fi fth of a medium avocado (1 oz.) has 50 calories and contributes nearly 20 vitamins and minerals and phytonutri-ents. Take This To Heart Research also shows that eating lean beef, even daily, as part of a heart-healthy diet and lifestyle improved cholesterol levels. A 3-oz. serving of lean beef pro-vides 25 g (about half) of the daily value for protein, which is one of the most satis-fying nutrients. In a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, research-ers from Penn State University found that people who consumed lean beef daily as part of a heart-healthy diet experienced a 10 percent decline in LDL “bad” choles-terol. California avocados also fi t into a heart-healthy diet, providing “good fats,” 0.5g polyunsaturated fat, 3g monounsaturated fat, and no cholesterol per 1-oz. serving. Additionally, a 1-oz. serving of avocado contains 26 milligrams of beta-sitosterol, a natural plant sterol that may help main-tain healthy cholesterol levels. Healthy Cravings The theme of this year’s National Beef Cook-Off contest was “Making the Most of My Plate,” which encouraged delicious, nutritious recipes using ingredients from a variety of food groups. Here are two of the delectable recipes that were created by fi nalists in the Craveable Fresh Beef and Fresh California Avocado recipes catego-ry.

Heart Health—Managing High Blood Pressure In Winter (NAPSI)—Fall and winter months can bring busy schedules and seasonal illnesses that make it diffi cult to man-age high blood pressure (HBP). The good news is there are simple, practi-cal steps you can take to manage the condition year-round and enhance your health. By managing your blood pressure, you can lower your risk of heart attack, heart failure, stroke, peripheral artery disease and kidney disease. Here are 10 tips from the American Heart Association to assist you in main-taining a healthy blood pressure level. 1. Stay informed. It’s estimated that nearly 20 percent of those with HBP are unaware of their condition. This symptomless disease could leave you with substantial health problems. If you don’t know if you have it, see a health care professional to be tested. 2. Take your prescriptions. If you are on prescription medication for high blood pressure, take it regularly and consult your health care provider be-fore taking any over-the-counter medi-cations or supplements. Use a labeled pillbox to help you keep track of your medicines during the busy fall and win-ter months. 3. Eat a healthy diet. Aim to eat a diet that’s rich in fruits, vegetables, whole-grain and high-fi ber foods, and fat-free and low-fat dairy products, and reduce sugar and sodium. If your holi-day meal traditions aren’t as healthy as you’d like, modify ingredients or add a healthy new dish to the menu. 4. Get 30 minutes of physical activ-ity most days of the week. Exercise not only helps control your blood pressure, it also helps you manage your weight, strengthen your heart and manage stress. When the temperature drops, fi nd safe, indoor places to exercise. 5. Maintain a healthy weight. If you are overweight, a little weight loss can result in a lot of health gains. Even a small weight loss—10 pounds—can help to reduce blood pressure. 6. Avoid sudden exertion. Peo-

ple who are outdoors in cold weather should avoid sudden exertion, like lift-ing a heavy shovel full of snow. Even walking through heavy, wet snow or snowdrifts can strain a person’s heart. 7. Avoid tobacco smoke. Smoking cigarettes increases blood pressure, de-creases exercise tolerance and increas-es the tendency for blood to clot. Make quitting a resolution for the holidays—and stick with it! 8. Stay well. Some illnesses, like infl uenza, pose added risks for people with heart disease. Wash your hands regularly, and make sure your doctor knows about any medicines or supple-ments you’re taking in order to make the best treatment decisions. Patients with heart disease should receive the fl u vaccine. 9. Read labels on cold medicines. Winter colds may have you reaching for remedies at the drugstore. You should

always read the labels on over-the-counter (OTC) medications, especially if you have blood pressure greater than 120/80 mmHg. People with high blood pressure should be aware that decon-gestants may raise blood pressure or interfere with the effectiveness of some prescribed blood pressure medications. Check the sodium content, too. Some OTC medicines contain more than 1,500 mg—a whole day’s allowance. 10. If you drink, limit alcohol. Men should limit alcohol to no more than two drinks per day and women to one drink per day. Drinking too much alco-hol can raise your blood pressure. Your doctor may advise you to reduce the amount of alcohol you drink. Learn more online at: www.heart.org/HBP. Merck Consumer Care, maker of Coricidin® HBP, is a sponsor of the American Heart Asso-ciation’s High Blood Pressure website.

(NAPSI)—If you are looking for ways to make the holidays more manageable, advice from the experts may help. Here are a few tips from best-selling cookbook author David Venable. • Decorating: It can take hours—if not days—to decorate for the holidays. To make the most of your efforts, start early-the weekend after Thanksgiving is ideal. • Entertaining: Make entertaining easy by preparing foods in advance. Select cookware that can go from oven to table, such as the Temp-tations® Vintage Grace Baker with Wire Rack.

Surviving The Season • Comfort: Comfort is key when hav-ing guests over for the holidays. Help your guests feel at home by fi nding out their fa-vorite recipe ahead of time and surprising them with the dish. • Gifts: Fill containers with the ingre-dients for one of Venable’s recipes. Add a personalized gift tag and you’re good to go! • Present wrapping: First, fi nd all your favorite holiday music. Second, mix your-self a cocktail (try Venable’s classic holi-day eggnog!). Third, make sure you’ve got paper, boxes, tape and scissors. It’s

easiest to tackle the wrapping by doing a little here and there when you can. Venable is the author of the best-sell-ing cookbook “QVC’s Resident Foodie Presents: Comfort Foods That Take You Home.” Each week, he gives millions of viewers an inside look at his “kitchen” as the host of QVC’s most popular cooking show, “In the Kitchen with David®,” which airs eve-ry Wednesday at 8 p.m. (EST) and Sunday at noon (EST).

Halloween Safety Tips: With many communities holding trick-or-treat nights, PennDOT is urging motorists to slow down and watch carefully for little princesses, witches and pirates. Children are unpredictable – and even more so when they’re excited -- which means motorists need to slow down and expect the unexpected. We’re also asking parents to help by reviewing safety tips with their children and helping them to choose safe costumes. Motorists should be extremely cautious on neighborhood streets as children may dart out between parked vehicles or walk on the side of the road. In addition to motorists, parents and guardians can help increase safety and visibility of children by following a few sim-ple tips:•Buy or make brightly-colored, highly-visible costumes that do not interfere with a child’s ability to see, hear or walk;

•Consider adding strips of reflective tape to darker-colored cos-tumes or trick-or-treat bags;

•Encourage children to carry a flashlight or glow stick;

•Accompany young children while they are trick-or-treating;

•Remind children to pay attention to their surroundings and to look both ways before crossing a street; and

•Tell children to walk instead of run and to stay on sidewalks whenever possible.

Are You At Risk For Type 2 Diabetes?Four Easy Tips For Prevention

(NAPSI)—Diabetes affects more than 20 million people in the United States, and many of those who have diabetes are older adults. A study in The Journal of the American Medical Association found that baby boomers-born between 1946 and 1964-are more likely to be obese and have diabetes compared to their parents, despite sig-nifi cant medical advances during baby boomers’ lifetimes. The good news is older adults can take steps to prevent the more common Type 2 diabetes. “We know based on a large clinical trial, the Diabetes Prevention Program, that the best way to prevent Type 2 dia-betes is through making healthy life-style choices,” said Marc Jaffe, M.D., Kaiser Permanente endocrinologist. “Even small changes can make a dif-ference, and it is never too late to start making healthier choices.” Below are a few basic questions, an-swers and tips to help you understand and prevent diabetes. What Is Type 2 Diabetes And Why Should I Care? Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condi-tion. It prevents your body from turn-ing food into energy. Diabetes can lead to heart disease, stroke, blindness, kid-ney failure and amputation. How Do I Know If I’m At Risk For Developing Diabetes? Risk factors for Type 2 diabetes in-clude having prediabetes, being age 45 or older, having a family history of dia-betes, being overweight, not exercis-ing regularly, having high blood pres-sure, having low HDL (also known as “good” cholesterol) and/or high levels of triglycerides, being a member of certain racial and ethnic groups (e.g., Non-Hispanic Blacks, Hispanic/Latino Americans, Asian Americans and Pa-cifi c Islanders, and American Indians and Alaska Natives), and being a wom-an who had gestational diabetes. How Do I Prevent Diabetes? 1) Stay At A Healthy Weight. A healthy weight is one that is right for your body type and height and is based on your body mass index (BMI) and the size of your waist. Losing as little as fi ve to 10 pounds can make a big difference in your risk of developing diabetes, and can also improve your blood pressure, cholesterol, mood and self-confi dence. Maintaining your weight is also impor-tant, because the natural tendency is to gain weight as you age. So if you don’t gain weight, that’s a victory, too. 2) Exercise Regularly. Exercise 150 minutes a week. Try walking 30 minutes a day at least fi ve days every week. It’s

fi ne to be active in blocks of 10 minutes or more throughout your day and week. If you’re able, walk the stairs instead of taking the elevator. It’s wise to check with your physician before starting an exercise program. 3) Eat Healthy. Eat a balanced diet, including whole grains, lean sources of protein, and vegetables. Lose weight if you need to, by eating fewer calories and exercising more. For example, try having a salad instead of pizza. 4) Quit Smoking. Although tobacco does not increase the chances of diabe-tes, it can increase the chances of heart attack and stroke, so it is especially im-portant to avoid tobacco if you are also at risk of developing diabetes. To learn more about diabetes, vis-it www.kp.org and click the health & wellness tab. Also, check out www.kp.org/carestories for videos about dia-betes and other conditions. For ques-tions and advice about a specifi c condi-tion, consult with your physician. • Marc Jaffe, M.D., is a Kaiser Per-manente endocrinologist and internist at Kaiser Permanente South San Fran-

cisco Medical Center. He also works with the organization’s Cardiovascu-lar Risk Reduction Program, known as the PHASE program, to develop ways to improve cardiovascular health for members throughout Kaiser Perma-nente.

Find The Fun In Healthy Eating (NAPSI)—Keeping kids healthy can be a tough job. Sometimes, the things that are good for kids aren’t always what they want. But moms know that eating healthy and being active can help kids grow strong bodies and lower their future risk of obesity and health problems like type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer. It can also help them do better in school. Start by being a good role model. Kids are more likely to eat fruits and vegetables if they see you eating them, too. Be a good role model by staying active and doing ac-tivities the whole family can enjoy. There are also many ways to make healthy eating fun. One way is by encour-aging kids to help in the kitchen. When kids help pick and cook food, they are more likely to eat it. Younger kids can tear lettuce for salads or rinse fruits and vege-tables while older kids can chop and slice. The Network for a Healthy Califor-nia provides these and other mom-tested tips to empower families to live better by eating more fruits and vegetables and be-ing active every day. The tips come from Champions for Change, real moms who are role models for healthy change. You don’t have to turn your life upside down to make healthy changes. Even small changes add up quickly to make a big dif-ference, like adding fruit to cereal or of-

fering crunchy carrots instead of chips as a snack. Here are more mom-tested tips on how to make healthy change fun: • Kids get excited when they can pick what they are going to eat. Have them pick the fruits and vegetables they want to pack in their lunch each day. • Keep fruits and vegetables in easy-to-reach places at home to encourage healthy snacking. Leave a bowl of fresh fruit on the table and cut vegetables in the fridge. Get a mix of dried fruits and let kids make their own trail mix. • Make shopping fun. Let kids pick three colors of fruits and vegetables to try, or choose three fruits to snack on during the week. • Be creative when cooking. Try fun ideas like arranging different vegetables on pizza to make a face. Use slices of bell pepper for the mouth and eyebrows, olives for the eyes, and a cherry tomato or carrot for the nose. • Play together. Turn off the TV and turn up the music. Have a dance contest to everyone’s favorite songs. Enjoy the out-doors and go for family walks, ride bikes together or play at a local park.

Put The Cloud To Work For Your Business (NAPSI)—Small business own-ers across the country are increasingly taking advantage of “cloud comput-ing”—technology that allows them to store fi les securely and access them re-motely. With no hardware to install or maintain, cloud computing is an easy and effi cient way to back up and safe-guard computers, external hard drives and network attached storage (NAS) devices. However, many small business owners are missing out on the benefi ts of the cloud, and may also be sacrifi c-ing the profi ts that can come with this upgrade. Offi ceMax recently launched Offi ce-Max Services Centers in all of its stores nationwide to offer specially-tailored services and solutions to small busi-ness owners, including online backup from Carbonite and cloud storage from MiMedia. Here are some tips from the Offi ceMax Services Center on how to effectively put cloud storage to work for your business. Protect your business with bank-level security The cloud provides a safeguarded central location to encrypt and store the most sensitive, confi dential materials on enterprise-grade servers, including employee payroll information. In ad-dition to cloud protection, Offi ceMax works with Merchant Payroll powered by ADP and Paychex to absorb payroll needs and even fi le all state and federal taxes. Reduce hardware, paperwork and management costs Cloud storage offsets the cost of purchasing hard drives or memory up-grades—and who doesn’t like saving money? Plans are based on storage space needs and can be customized at any time. Benefi ts include less equip-ment to maintain and reduced manage-ment costs. Boost productivity with anytime, anywhere access In today’s competitive marketplace, staying connected means staying in business. It’s more important than ever to maximize productivity on the go, wherever you may be. Cloud storage allows the business and its employees to gain access to critical business infor-mation across multiple devices, includ-ing laptops, smartphones and tablets. Get a meeting room Many small business owners know the feeling of scrambling to fi nd a cof-fee shop with enough space to hold a quick meeting. Offi ceMax now works with Regus to provide business cus-tomers with access to fl exible offi ce space, virtual offi ce services, private meeting rooms by the hour and mobile business lounges to drop into to ensure

your needs are covered. Put real-time collaboration to work Cloud storage allows businesses to create shared workspaces for staff. By enabling multiple people to share fi les from multiple locations, employees can then access, review and work on the same fi les in real time. Rest assured with data backup and disaster recovery If your computer crashes or is sto-len, or if the offi ce experiences a fi re

or burglary, how would your business get back critical data? Cloud storage allows you to easily save, back up, re-cover and restore all fi les remotely. An Offi ceMax Services Center advisor can provide a tutorial on touch screen tech-nology to help you back up these fi les while working on a mobile platform. For additional information about cloud computing and business solu-tions, visit the new Services Center in-side of your local Offi ceMax store or visit www.Offi ceMax.com/Services

Money For The Holidays (NAPSI)—If earning some extra money for holiday gifts sounds like a good idea, you may want to go direct to direct selling. What That Is It’s the person-to-person sale of products and services at home or work, online or in a social setting-and on your own terms. Hundreds of companies with almost every product imaginable offer opportunities for budding entre-preneurs. According to the Direct Selling As-sociation (DSA), direct selling is an ex-cellent way to supplement your income. Nearly 16 million Americans work as direct sellers. These people run their own businesses, set their own sched-ules and establish their own goals-all while having fun earning extra money.

Helpful Hints If you’re considering direct selling, keep these tips in mind: • Choose a company whose products you would buy yourself. • Attend a party hosted by another company representative before you sign up-and ask lots of questions. • Choose a DSA member company so you know it abides by a strict Code of Ethics.
