Lance, Inc. (Nasdaq: LNCE) today announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has approved Lance's bid to purchase substantially all of the assets of snack food company Archway Cookies LLC ("Archway"). Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Lance will acquire substantially all of the assets of Archway for approximately $30 million. The transaction is expected to close no later than December 15, 2008. Lance will use available liquidity under its current credit facilities to fund the acquisition."We're excited about this acquisition," commented David V. Singer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lance, Inc. "Archway was founded in the 1930s, and has built solid market share in its niche of soft, home-style cookies. Archway is an excellent addition to our growing portfolio of consumer preferred niche brands. We are looking forward to reopening the Ashland, Ohio production facility, where we intend to produce Archway cookies. This facility will also provide the capacity to support growth in our existing business and capabilities that will broaden the products we can offer our Private Brands customers, thus supporting our growth goals for our non-branded business."
Thanks, Santa! U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware!

Technology truly is an inescapable aspect of our daily lives, and I am 99% certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes less expensive, the possibility of copying our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about all the time.
