Fair Trade is an ever-growing story, a manifestation of what is right. This is why I have started a campaign to make Princeton a Fair Trade Town. I believe in bringing awareness to consumers in Princeton....

If you just bought the new iPhone 4s, Apple's latest update to iOS 5 may fix your battery-draining problems - or it may make them worse. iPhone users across the country are split down the middle; some claiming "my battery life is awesome!" and some, well, aren't so lucky.
With a multitude of developers and smart phone manufacturers pumping out newer phones, it is becoming harder to update older versions. We explore the wonderful world of Android Fragmentation. Myth? Legend? Horror story told to junior software developers? Check out our post and see how these smartphones match up to one another, and more importantly with Apple's iPhone.
The new HTC Droid security flaw proves that when you download an open-source app, you're inviting the developers into your home, taking off their shoes, and giving them a foot massage (so to speak.)
Mistakes are inevitable but we strive to learn from them, making them a point of growth and not a set-back. Below is an article illustrating principles and an attitude we at SureTech.com stand behind and work to emmulate.

Most IT Budgets just maintain your status quo

Operating a successful business in todays economic times is difficult, even for a well-managed company. Now, add the complexity of the worst recession since the Great Depression. It is no surprise that commercial bankruptcies, among the nation's more than 25 million small businesses, have increased by approximately 44% from the third quarter of 2008 to the third quarter of 2009, according to Equifax Inc. So what is a business owner to do? Avoid these SEVEN DEADLY SINS!

I wonder sometimes how change became the banner of the two parties. Wouldn't I rather see "Vote McCain for Paradise Now?" Change only tells me what I'm leaving, not where I'm going. Yale, when I arrived at 18, seemed immutable, monolithic and anti-change. Hadn't it been as I found it for 300 years? But having been involved with Yale now for 20 years, I've come to see the extent to which Yale is the result of an incredible diversity of voices sounding and sometimes clamoring across time, space and context. All change Yale in their own ways, big and small. And it has been the commitment to the ideals of excellence, discernment and truth in those voices that has made Yale adapt so well and be as great as it is. They may make a bad political bumper sticker, but those ideals make the change for the best at Yale, in NY and in the world. YAAMNY exists to help in some small way make change for the for the better in NY. And I hope you will make change yours and for the best on election day and every day in the communities where you live.
Have you noticed the changing leaves are especially radiant this fall? Perhaps the leaves are hanging on a little longer and the reds and ambers have just enough life in the leaves to glow. Or perhaps they are resonating with the political moment, CHANGE. Rebublican, Democrat or undecided all seem intent on the thought. So perhaps the leaves are singing that message too.

Before you take off for the long weekend, we wanted to make sure you heard about the very cool end-of-summer rooftop party with UPenn, Northwestern and Notre Dame at the swanky Maritime Hotel on Sept. 2.

Greetings,
Last month we promised a party and we're delivering TWO. My Luu's Spring Fling is sold out, and the very next day, Amanda Taffy has been working hard on a Best Buddies benefit at Plumm. The Events calendar is full of excuses to get together.
Your participation is THE KEY to this and many many thanks are due to the 50 Alums and friends who took a couple days out last week to work on the strategic planning retreat for YAAMNY.
In addition to the several key initiatives coming out of that retreat I'd like to specifically highlight Doreen Oliver's new leadership of the Arts and Entertainment group and Amanda Taffy's continuing work in the Public Service group - details below. If you would like to work on other important events, such as professional development events and talks, please get in touch with us!
Last but not least please have a look at Jaradoa Theatre's new production: The Small of Her Back which opens tomorrow and is hosting a special YAAMNY night May 19th. And for an extra special treat, see below for a very limited seating dinner with the founders of Jaradoa hosted by yours truly.
Over 50 people showed up this Friday night and Saturday to discuss what YAAMNY could and should be. 32 of us were current board members, advisers, former YAAMNY leaders and alums new to YAAMNY. The additional attendees were spouses, kids and AYA Staff.
