The Value Matters Blog encourages companies to include business valuation in their routine business process, even before circumstances require a business valuation. By then, it could be too late to achieve the full spectrum of benefits delivered with a quality business valuation. Events such as the buying or selling of the company; acquiring financing; divorce or bankruptcy; retirement planning or ESOP transactions – require a thorough assessment of the business to come up with the company's fair market value. Just as retirement planning requires forethought, business owners shouldn't wait until they are in the hot seat to plan for one of these life changing moments either.
Why? A business valuation is the only true way to determine how the business is performing currently. Business owners may take pride, and rightfully so, in what they have accomplished with their business, but they must be in touch with the reality of the enterprise's sustainability and profitability based on an objective evaluation of the company. In doing so, a business owner would be wise to act like a prospective investor picking at the nitty-gritty of the company to assess how desirable and potentially profitable it would be to invest in his business.
Steve McKee, president of McKee Wallwork Cleveland and author of When Growth Stalls: How It Happens, Why You're Stuck, and What to Do About It, in his column in Businessweek, proposed seven questions an analyst might ask businesses to determine how their business is doing. Companies should answer these as objectively as possible, scoring from 1 (for awful), to 10 (for excellent):
1. Is the brand in a growing sector?
This is a measure of your industry as much as it is of your brand. Is it growing? Are economic, demographic, or cultural trends working in its favor, or are you witnessing steadily shrinking demand? Is this industry going to be healthy and growing—or for that matter even around—in two, five, or 10 years?
2. Is the brand making consistent share gains?
Regardless of the industry in which you operate, if your brand is healthy you should be taking market share from your rivals, and doing so in a sustainable way (i.e., not by giving away the store).
3. Does the brand have a dominant competitive position?
Your industry may be growing, your share may be growing, but has your brand achieved a position of dominance? This doesn't have to mean global dominance; if you serve a well-defined geography, for example, it may be enough that you're dominant within it, even if there are bigger competitors across town, across the country, or across the world. If they can't horn in on your customers, they may not be relevant.
4. Is the brand clearly differentiated?
When prospects compare you to the competition, do clear differences arise or are you basically cut from the same cloth? This factor affects all of the other factors, which is why it's so critical. One of my favorite pieces of marketing advice is, "Don't be better. Be different." If the people with whom you do business can't clearly articulate your brand's point of differentiation, an analyst certainly won't be able to.
5. Are there high barriers to entry for competitors?
The airline industry has extremely high barriers to entry; it takes a lot of money—to say nothing of the regulatory hurdles—to get a new airline off the ground (pun intended). But it costs very little to launch a catering business or consulting firm. True, depending on the specialty, the expertise required to launch either of the latter two could be considered a barrier to entry, but an objective analyst would ask some pretty tough questions about how high that barrier really is.
6. Does the brand generate outstanding margins?
There are two ways to answer this question: in absolute terms and relative to your industry competitors. Margins, of course, don't grow in a vacuum; if you're clearly differentiated and operating in a thriving industry with high barriers to entry, you're more likely to be able to maintain healthy margins than if you're slugging it out in a commoditized, shrinking sector.
7. Is the brand creating strong cash flow?
There's a lot of pressure on public companies to fund shareholder dividends. Just because your company isn't public doesn't mean you shouldn't feel the same pressure. Your investors (that would be you—and any others who have staked their hard-earned capital on you) deserve a regular dividend. That is, unless you choose to reinvest most or all of your profits in growing your brand. But you should be in a position where the option is yours.
These clear-sighted and thought-provoking questions are considerable guidelines in reviewing your company's performance. Based on the score you came up with for each item, you would have a better idea of the things to improve on for the business, and the strategies you can put into practice to improve them.

Ryan Edwards is single and ready to mingle following a weekend breakup with Shelby Woods, who he began dating in August of last year.
After the split, the former Teen Mom dad took to Twitter where he told fans that he was feeling great as a single man and denied having cheated, as Shelby had claimed.
Now, days later, Ryan is moving on with a new crush.
"Why are you so beautiful?" Ryan asked on Instagram on Feb. 23, along with a photo of model Diana Dahlgren posing in a sexy work outfit. Also with the photo, he added the hash tag, "My new love."
Although Diana isn't someone that Ryan could have a real relationship with, at least she doesn't appear to be, he is clearly making a stand, letting everyone know that he is done with Shelby and ready to move on.
Still, with the breakup so fresh, moving on now may be too soon. Hopefully, he doesn't jump into something that he could later regret. After all, rebound romances hardly ever work.
Meanwhile, Shelby appears to be pretty broken up over the heartbreak, and despite Ryan saying that he didn't cheat, she seems to be convinced of otherwise, and even told a fan that she wouldn't be surprised if he cheated on her more than once.

Boehner Says He Didn't Try to Oust Gingrich as Speaker
By Kristina Peterson and Patrick O'Connor
House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday that he never participated in any efforts to oust presidential candidate Newt Gingrich when he was speaker of the House back in the late 1990s.
"I never participated in any attempt to overthrow the speaker of the House, not once," Mr. Boehner said Wednesday.
Mr. Boehner was an ally of Mr. Gingrich before a semi-public falling out during the Republicans' showdown with former President Bill Clinton that resulted in a pair of government shutdowns.
Their relationship remained rocky during Mr. Gingrich's tumultuous speakership, and some contemporaries believe Mr. Boehner took part in a failed coup to oust the former speaker. At the time, Mr. Boehner said he wasn't involved, and the two have since mended fences. Mr. Gingrich delivered a touching eulogy when Mr. Boehner's longtime chief of staff died suddenly in 2010.
At a Politico breakfast Wednesday morning, Mr. Boehner noted that he ran Mr. Gingrich's campaign to become speaker and secured his own leadership position on the same day in 1995 that Mr. Gingrich was elected to the top House spot.
Mr. Boehner declined to say which Republican presidential candidate he was backing, but praised Mr. Gingrich's intelligence and said it would be hard to doubt his conservative credentials.
"Like all big thinkers, he's got some great ideas and some other ideas," Mr. Boehner said dryly.

Zaznu. Remember this name. One of the fastest growing companies in Brasil, which even landed an article in the prestigious Exame magazine in Brazil (in Portuguese), Zaznu was the first in the ridesharing market in Rio de Janeiro, transforming forever the riding habits of its resident.
Yonathan Yuri Faber, Zaznu's CEO and founder, natural from Rio, was living in San Francisco when Lyft started the transformation of its market. Inspired by this very successful startup, he decided to create similar service in Rio. Zaznu adopts the system of voluntary contribution, which costs 20% less than a cab ride. For example, from Cinelândia (downtown) to Copacabana, the cost is R$ 16.08, while a cab ride would cost R$20.10. Sweet.
Despite some initial controversy and protests from the cab drivers, the service was fully utilized during the World Cup, past June-July, and the tendency of its market is growth, growth, growth, in a city with chronic transportation problems since always. Zaznu charges 20% less than a cab ride. For example, from Cinelândia (downtown) to Copacabana, the cost is R$ 16.08, while a cab ride would cost R$20.10. More yet, the safety implied in the driver's background check is the cherry on top for this service to succeed.
Zaznu quickly expanded to five other cities in Brazil: São Paulo, Brasília, Curitiba, Belo Horizonte and Porto Alegre and is going international, getting ready for the launch in Argentina and Chile. It is a question of time to expand to other South American countries. Venture capitalists, get ready!

It comes as no surprise that athletes get injured. Given the brutal demands of the sport they pursue, it's an assumed risk. Even the truly elite—NFL star Adrian Peterson, NBA icon Kobe Bryant, MMA Juggernaut Jon Jones, etc—have sustained some pretty serious injuries at some point in their career.
Given world-class help, and some amazing God given abilities, these guys came back better than ever! But don't let these guys fool you; these are most certainly the outliers when it comes to sporting injuries.
No one is Teflon, and anyone can get hurt. Once you get older, however, you become even more susceptible to obtaining an injury. Luckily today, we'll dig into how the older grapplers out there can go about preparing—and PREVENTING—potential injuries that may occur while grappling with the younger wave of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu players.
Preparing Yourself For The Wear & Tear Of The BJJ Battle
It's a given; when you step onto the mat for training or competition, you WILL be taking some bumps and bruises home with you. No matter how safe and conservative you become in your approach to the sport, there will always be some pains joining you on the ride home.
However—for the older readers out there—there is a way you can go about preventing these injuries. For instance, there are certain positions I would avoid completely such as the inverted guard and rubber guard. These positions in particular will cause great stress on specific joints and will do you no favors…plus, they can be difficult to work from to boot!
A big part is finding what suits you the best. If your most effective position is the half guard, then so be it! Become the best half-guard player in your gym and make sure your opponents quake as you step onto the mat.
Being able to compete within your physical limits is a must. Once you find your best position, ride it till the wheels fall off.
The Battle Within - Gaining The Mental Edge
Now that you have your ideal positions and go-to moves, it's time to hit the mat and roll—or even compete! With the understanding of where you have to be physically, it's a must that you have the proper mental approach. Some of the concepts here are similar to those that BJJ black belt John Connors talked about in our similar interview a few weeks ago.
- ALWAYS be positive! If you say "I can't" or "I won't" then you are destined for that fate.
- Control your breathing patterns. Take nice, deep breaths while competing to help conserve energy.
- Rest when you can! There will be times when your opponent isn't looking to do much; take advantage of this and rest when you can!
- Pay attention to your opponents breathing. If you key in on how they breathe, then this can work for you. This will tell you if they're resting, if they're gassed, angry, etc.
- SMILE! Simply put; have fun! You chose to compete and/or live roll, so have fun with it.
If you take these simple steps, then you should have problem hanging with younger grapplers. Everyone is human and has the same basic tools—it's how you choose to use them that will separate you from the rest of the pack!

Goshir Paljor Dhondrup
Goshir Paljor Dhöndrup was born at Nyemo in Central Tibet. Under the guidance of the Sixth Karmapa Thongwa Dhönden, he received transmissions of the Kagyur, Tengyur, and many others. He was fully trained in buddhist philosophy and meditation by Karmapa, as well as by Bengar Jampal Sangpo and other lineage masters. Later, he was appointed as the General Secretary of the Karmapa. He offered his service to the activities of Karmapa and the lineage. Paljor Dhöndrup is the first incarnation of Gyaltsab Rinpoche.
He passed into parinirvana when the Seventh Karmapa reached twenty-five-years, with many wondrous signs of accomplishments. He received the full lineage transmission from the Sixth Karmapa, which he fully passed on to the Seventh Karmapa, Chödrak Gyatso.
These details about Goshir Paljor Dhöndrup are compiled from Pawo Tsuklak Trengwa's Feast For Scholars (chos 'byung mkhas pa'i dg'a ston), Beijing edition, vol. 2, pp. 1031. May this be virtuous!

Everyone seems to jumping on the 'new' (not new at all) idea that a mainframe can be used in the cloud. SD Times article in October 2011 states: "While datacenter utilization can be tricky to optimize above 30% even with virtualization and workload tools, mainframes tend to run at over 80% of capacity."

Lessons learned from Cloud 1.0 for Cloud 2.0 - Hard coding business rules is bad

Cloud 2.0 migrations versus Cloud 1.0 migrations
By llaszews on Sep 07, 2011
In the early 1960s when companies started migrating to the Cloud 1.0 (mainframe-based cloud), existing computerized systems to migrate from did not exist. The manual systems, that sometimes the computerized application replaced, were rudimentary and easily replaced by a computer-based system. This made moving to Cloud 1.0 much easier than Cloud 2.0 migrations as you where implementing a new system clear of any legacy 'baggage'. Today, companies are shackled with hundreds of business applications based upon mainframes, mid-range, and client/server systems deployed using mostly custom developed applications or Commercial Off-The-Self (COTS) products. Migrating existing IT systems to the Cloud 2.0 involves migrating everything from the data to the application, application deployment solutions or procedures, management and monitoring software, integration, data warehouse, business intelligence, replications solutions and backup and recovery, and perhaps even hardware infrastructure.

Mainframe Cloud ?

The mainframe really was Cloud 1.0. Very good article here: http://www.infoworld.com/d/data-center/new-job-mainframes-hosting-private-clouds-329. Oracle Exadata and Exalogic are Cloud 2.0. Similar to to Cloud 1.0 but much improved: based upon open standards network, storage, relational databases, Java EE and processors.

At EcoWatch, Megan Quinn Bachman advocates creating state-owned banks to fund "green electricity—and other sustainability projects." Unfortunately, government-owned banks have a sad history of subsidizing ecologically-destructive boondoggles. Bachman points to one of the few examples of state banks that managed to turn a profit, the Bank of North Dakota. But its funds have gone to fossil-fuel projects, not green energy, and effectively subsidized some fossil-fuel projects through below-market rates.
As bank-regulation expert Mark Calabria notes in the New York Times, advocates of state banks "might point to the Bank of North Dakota, currently the only state-run and state-owned American bank. Of course that ignores that in the 1800s there were a number of state-owned U.S. banks. They all failed miserably, and at great expense to the taxpayer. They were also magnets for corruption. But that's history. Currently the Bank of North Dakota is generally a well-run institution. It is also a massive subsidy to the fossil fuel industry. One need only look at its annual reports to see that the bulk of its below-market lending has been to the fossil fuel industry. It's a case in point, illustrating that government-owned banks will tend to subsidize the powerful."
Government ownership of other industries like agriculture also has had negative effects on the environment. A classic example is in Soviet Central Asia, where the vast Aral Sea largely disappeared, leaving behind a vast ecologically-ruined wasteland after a massive government cotton project ravaged the regional environment. As the London Daily Mail notes, "The shrunken sea has ruined the once-robust fishing economy and left fishing trawlers stranded in sandy wastelands, leaning over as if they dropped from the air. The sea's evaporation has left layers of highly salted sand, which winds can carry as far away as Scandinavia and Japan, and which plague local people with health troubles."
Cunning politicians use green rhetoric to push policies that actually harm the environment and the economy, the classic example being ethanol mandates (which recently enriched Wall Street speculators, some with ties to the Obama Administration). While in the Senate, Al Gore, working with fat-cat lobbyists, "saved the ethanol" industry by pushing through big taxpayer subsidies for ethanol. (Years later, he belatedly admitted that ethanol subsidies were a "mistake," a harmful policy partly designed to appeal to "farmers in the State of Iowa," which holds the influential Iowa caucuses that can make or break a Presidential campaign).
For cynical political reasons, the Obama Administration clings to ethanol mandates, backing them despite growing evidence that they increase world hunger and mortality, and harm the environment.
In 2008, a Washington Post editorial by two prominent environmentalists described how ethanol mandates have harmed the environment and spawned hunger across the world. In "Ethanol's Failed Promise," Lester Pearson and Jonathan Lewis observed that "Turning one-fourth of our corn into fuel is affecting global food prices. U.S. food prices are rising at twice the rate of inflation, hitting the pocketbooks of lower-income Americans and people living on fixed incomes. . .Deadly food riots have broken out in dozens of nations."

A review of the documentary Merlove
Earlier this summer we spoke with Rudy McClain, the local filmmaker who was working on a documentary (dubbed Merlove) about the Merlot varietal. After attending the first-ever public screening of the film, we wrote the following:
We really, really wanted to have at least one underlying 'story' carry us from start to finish. For us, we thought that 'story' was going to be John Sorensen ("momma said no") and Vincent who were off to make Merlot in a local garage. Unfortunately, we can't recall them appearing at all in the final quarter of the film.
Following that initial screening, McClain was to go back to the editing room and late last week we came across a review of a more recent iteration of the film. We found a couple excerpts to be noteworthy, including this opening:
As a documentary, "Merlove" is a rambling mess. As a documentary for wine lovers, it's essential viewing.
And the close:
If you're curious or already savvy about terms like "varietals" and "terroir" (the latter refers to the geographical conditions that influence each wine's unique characteristics), "Merlove" is a guaranteed treat. It's not a particularly good documentary in terms of educational eloquence, but there's something so universally life-affirming about merlot that you can appreciate McClain's infectious enthusiasm, if not his too-relaxed skills as a filmmaker.
Full review here.
Have you seen Merlove? If so, let us know what you thought in the comments!

Oiltanking announced a $104 million expansion project to construct 3.2 million bbl of new crude oil storage capacity at its Houston terminal facility. All environmental and internal approvals are in place, and the additional capacity is expected to be placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Oiltanking Partners on Monday announced a $104 million expansion project to construct approximately
3.2 million bbl of new crude oil storage capacity at its
Houston terminal facility.
The project scope includes the purchase
of 95 acres of nearby land for approximately $12 million, on
which the new capacity will be located, according to the
The incremental land purchase can also accommodate the construction of an additional 3
million bbl of storage capacity to meet future need, the
company said.
"As expected, the dramatic increase in domestic crude oil
production has created a growing need for storage capacity by
oil producers and marketers attracted to premium Gulf Coast
crude oil pricing and our local refinery customers, said
Carlin G. Conner, president and CEO.
This new project is the second phase of our
infrastructure and storage expansion to address the robust
demand from both existing and new customers and is supported by
new long-term storage contracts, he added.
All environmental and internal approvals
required to commence construction are in place, and the
additional storage capacity is expected to be placed into
service in the fourth quarter of 2013, the company said.
Once complete, the new storage capacity will bring total
active storage capacity for the company to approximately 22
million bbl.

A searchable database of project activity in the global hydrocarbon processing industry
Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Immigrant Profiles & Demographics
Immigrant Profiles & Demographics
Recent Activity
The once-tiny population of Vietnamese immigrants in the United States has grown to become the country's sixth largest foreign-born group in the span of several decades, with the first wave beginning at the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. This data profile examines the Vietnamese immigrant population by size, recency of arrival, top states and cities of settlement, college education, sending of remittances, and much more.
The U.S. immigrant population—estimated at 40.8 million in 2012 — is the nation's historical numerical high, and it is also the largest foreign-born population in the world. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, even as the country accounts for less than 5 percent of global population. This article presents the latest, most sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—by origin, residence, legal status, deportations, languages spoken, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
Recent Activity
Texas has the second-largest number of English Language Learner (ELL) students in the nation. Using a unique longitudinal data set that tracks ELL and non-ELL students in Texas from first grade through high school, this report examines the trajectories and performance of individual groups.
The number of U.S. residents deemed Limited English Proficient (LEP) has increased substantially in recent decades, consistent with the growth of the U.S. foreign-born population. This brief offers analysis on the number, share, growth, and linguistic diversity of LEP individuals in the United States from 1990 to 2010 at the national, state, and metropolitan-area levels.
The story of immigrant integration in the United States has historically been one of generational progress, with the gains for second-generation Hispanic women particularly impressive, as this report reveals. It profiles first- and second-generation young adults ages 16 to 26, examining this diverse population's education and career pathways.
Migration to the United States from Mexico and Central America's Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) has accelerated in the last four decades. This increase has been driven by economic opportunities and facilitated by social networks of friends and family already in the United States.

Other than re-creating my userform in the order I wish the controls to be tested, is there a method for specifying the order they should be tested?

Steve Gleason, who wore No. 37 as a player for the New Orleans Saints, celebrated his 37th birthday Wednesday (March 19).
As a gift, Saints coaches and staffers gave Gleason a framed white jersey that read "BIRTHDAY" across the nameplate with the No. 37 in black numerals below.
Saints coach Sean Payton also gave Gleason and his family a tour of the team's redesigned weight room, according to a post on the team website.
Gleason, who played for the Saints from 2000 to 2006, has inspired many since his ALS diagnosis in 2011.
Former Saints teammate Scott Fujita also posted to YouTube a family reenactment of Gleason's famous blocked punt as a birthday tribute.

The Browns lost more than a starting outside linebacker in D'Qwell Jackson, they lost their defensive leader. Yesterday, the Cleveland Browns released the veteran outside linebacker. Jackson led the Browns in tackles last year with 75 solo and 66 assisted tackles. Jackson also had one fumble recovery and one interception last year. He helped turn the defense around from being one of the weakest, to being one of the top 10 defenses in the league this year. The big question will be who will step up on this young defense to lead these Browns?
The Cleveland Browns' defense isn't full of veterans, so a guy like Jackson was needed to lead the defense. With his absence, the defense drops from an average of 3.9 years experience to 3.5 years. If a rookie takes over his position, then it would drop to 3.2 years. With such a young team including, the Browns need to have one or more players step up. The question is who is ready to do that on such a young team?
The first obvious choice would be Joe Haden. Haden has been one of the best corners in the NFL the past two seasons, and can only get better. The two time Pro Bowler has been in the league now for 4 years and all of them have been in Cleveland. A first round draft pick (7th overall) in the 2010 Draft, Haden has shut down top receivers such as AJ Green and Calvin Johnson. Last season, Haden recorded 54 total tackles (43 solo, 11 assisted) and 4 interceptions including one for a touchdown. Haden is only beaten out by teammates Paul Kruger (5 years, 1 with Browns) and Ahtyba Rubin (6 years) for years in the league.
The next choice would be TJ Ward. Ward was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time this year. Ward was drafted the same year as Haden, and the two have worked hard to make their backfield one of the best. Ward recorded 112 (75 solo and 37) tackles. 5 interceptions (two for touchdowns), and one fumble recovery. Ward made a huge impact with his play this year and the Browns are looking to resign him, or use the franchise tag to keep him for another year.
The last player who could step up and play that leadership role could be Paul Kruger. Although he has only been with the Browns for one season, Kruger is a big time name that the younger players could look up to. Kruger already has a Super Bowl ring and was brought in to help with the pass rushing. Kruger has been in the league for 5 years and has played under one of the all time defensive leaders in Ray Lewis. If Kruger steps up to the plate, the younger players could see something to strive for.
Until one of these players emerges as a clear leader, the Browns will have to look upon the coaches and players with experience like Rubin, Kruger, Ward and Haden. The defense will only become stronger this year and the Browns will look to bulk it up with one of their many different draft picks in this year's draft.

Teresa Giudice lost her father-in-law after he suddenly collapsed and died in her yard. Radar Online reports on Wednesday that the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star missed the last opportunity to see Frank because she was not home. However, Joe and the girls were at the house, so they witnessed the tragedy.
Frank, who was Joe's father, was helping the family create a new chicken coop and suddenly collapsed. The 63-year-old allegedly collapsed without warning, and the family has indicated he may have had a heart attack. Teresa was not home at the time of his death, and she arrived after he fell in the yard.
The stress of the upcoming trial for Joe and Teresa has been partially blamed for the latest tragedy. Although the family has tried to focus on other things such as the chicken coop project, it is clear there are serious concerns about the future. Joe and Teresa have a court date scheduled for July 8, and some fans are blaming the legal woes on Frank's sudden collapse.
Although the media has mostly focused on Joe, he is not the only one who is suffering right now. His brother and sister, Pete and Maria, have also lost their father and are asking for respect from the public during this difficult time. They also want the media to leave Frank's wife, Filomena, alone, so she can grieve in peace.
Fans have been posting messages of condolences on multiple social media sites, and some have pointed out the stress of the upcoming trial may have contributed to Frank's death. Although the Giudice family has tried to smile for the cameras and keep up a happy public image, it is clear that the stress is affecting them in private. The family is asking the media for space as it grieves the loss of Frank.

As the famous snowflake photographer William "Snowflake" Bentley (1865-1931) once stated, "Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others. Every crystal was a masterpiece of design, and no one design was ever repeated. When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone without leaving any record behind." This book contains over 240 pages of snowflake photographs I have taken over the last few years. Utilizing various lighting techniques, I have attempted to capture the incredible beauty, design and symmetry of snowflakes only I have witnessed falling from above. I describe the process I use to take these photos and have included a number of snow related quotes throughout the book. I enjoy sharing these photos with you so that you too can marvel at the awesome God we serve.
In the forty years I have been involved with photography, I continue to be amazed at the beauty of God's creation both large and small. Photography gives me an opportunity to spend time with God while enjoying the beauty that surrounds me.

In 1940, when I was 10 years old, I talked my mother into buying guitars for my brother, Floyd, and me. The initial results were not promising: We took one lesson and quit.
Yet just eight years later, I was playing with some of country music's most famous artists—people like Hank Williams, Roy Acuff and Red Foley—at the Grand Ole Opry, inside the hallowed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, America's country music capital. Who says dreams don't come true?
My love of the steel guitar was inspired by the musicians I heard on the radio, greats like Jerry Byrd and Little Roy Wiggins. It also helped that we lived in Nashville.
Since our guitar lesson didn't work out so well, Floyd and I learned to play by listening to 78 rpm records featuring masters like Byrd and Wiggins. I'd lift up the needle and practice the steel guitar sections over and over until they came naturally. Between Floyd, who played standard guitar, and me, we practically wore out the records.
My brother and I often played together. Our first public performance was at the Paramount Theatre, which hosted a Saturday radio show where youngsters could perform. I still remember the song we played and sang: When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold. We were a little scared of the big stage, the large audience and the bright lights, but we got through it. And the experience made us want to do more.
From there, our music careers advanced slowly but surely. From the start, we were lucky to associate with some very talented musicians.
I met bass player Bobby Moore during my days at Nashville's East Junior High School, and for a time we'd practice together several afternoons a week. Bobby went on to become one of the biggest bass players in Nashville history, playing on more than 17,000 recording sessions. Jerry Rivers, our fiddle player, wound up playing with Hank Williams and the Drifting Cowboys.
In time, my mother started booking shows for the four of us. To haul our equipment, she built a wooden cargo carrier, held in place atop her 1937 Hudson Terraplane by four suction cups taken from bathroom plungers!
Our first big break came when bandleader Big Jeff Bess heard us on a radio station in Murfreesboro. When his band quit, Big Jeff hired us to replace them, and suddenly we were the Radio Playboys, with a regular gig on WLAC in Nashville.
In 1948, along came my biggest break of all: Red Foley, the star of the Grand Ole Opry radio show, needed a band. I auditioned on steel guitar and, to my amazement, got the job! When Red said he hired me because I sounded so much like Byrd, I was elated. Here I was at 18, playing with my favorite country singer and taking the place of the guy I considered the greatest steel guitar player in the world.
Soon I was backing up a who's who of superstars, including Tennessee Ernie Ford, Kay Starr, Margaret Whiting and Hank Williams.
At first it was a little frightening, me being just 18 years old. I didn't know how to read music, so rehearsals were intimidating. But soon I found out that most of the people I was playing with didn't read music, either.
Because I was so young, people liked pulling tricks on me. The worst thing they did was untune my guitar while it was in a dressing room. I wouldn't know it until I started playing.
The great Hank Williams was a real nice guy. When we went to Germany in 1949, becoming the first Opry group to play in Europe, we got Air Force orders explaining why we were going there. One was written in Russian. Hank looked at it and told me, "Billy, you know those Russians will never win a war because they can't spell."
Red Foley was really nice, too—a very emotional man. He wrote the sentimental favorite Old Shep, and every time he sang it, he'd have tears in his eyes. I also liked Minnie Pearl, who was very down to earth.
My Opry days ended when I got drafted in 1952. When I got out of the Army, I'd lost my place in the Nashville pecking order. At that point, I realized that I could either study music and learn to read it well, or I could get into another field and learn everything about it.
I'd always liked art, so I attended art school on the GI Bill. That led to a graphic arts career of more than 30 years. But I kept playing at dance clubs and country clubs, and I still play every day. I also play periodically at steel guitar venues around the country. When you're 81 years old, you get to do what you enjoy.
I was incredibly blessed to play guitar at the Grand Ole Opry for those four years in the 1940s, doing what I'd dreamed of.
And Floyd? He wrote, published and sang the 1959 Top 20 hit Makin' Love, played with the likes of Little Jimmy Dickens and George Morgan, and still works in the music business today.

Do you love photography enough to get camera tattoos?
Those sharp bloggers who write for used camera reseller KEH have unearthed something great; people who love photography so much, they tattoo themselves with images of cameras.
You need a Polaroid Land Camera on your thigh? You got it. Can't survive without the phrase "F/8 BE THERE" emblazoned across your chest? No problem. Have to have a Canon AE-1 on your arm? Well, you know.
This is a fun post, because the KEH blogger has gone out of their way to track down the tattooed photographers and ask them why they did it, and who the tattoo artist was.
Now's your chance to confess, PhotoCine News readers. Which camera, and which body part? Send us a tweet and let us know. We promise we won't tell a soul.

Here is the recipe for my latest UNguilty pleasure….Chia Seed Tapioca Pudding. Chia seeds are a great source of fiber, calcium, and omega 3's. The fact that I can sneak them into a dessert makes both me and my son quite happy! Unlike flax seeds, there is no need to grind them before eating. When the seeds are mixed with any liquid, they form a gel or pudding depending on how much you use. So cool! If you are looking to add a little more protein, I have also made this using Special K vanilla protein drink. 🙂
Chia Seed Tapioca Pudding
- 2.5 cups vanilla soy milk
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (more of less to taste)
- (heavy cream optional)
- raspberries optional
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until evenly combined. Let sit for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally. If mixture is too thick, add more liquid. If you don't mind a little bit of a splurge, add a couple tablespoons of heavy cream. Chill and serve. Will keep up to 2 days in fridge.

Reviews for Snowcapped Gingerbread Biscotti
"Loved it. I used sliced almonds in lieu of the hazelnuts, and dipped the bottoms in white chocolate only (omitting the butterscotch). I also cut the cloves in half...a little bit goes a long way. I thought this recipe was very similar to flavor as the gingerbread biscotti sold at Starbucks."
"Great recipe! Not very patient, so stirred in chips into batter. Wonderful! Buterscotch and white chocolate throughout!"
"really yummy! would make a great xmas gift."
"This is delicious and it meets with rave reviews. I make this at Christmas and give to friends, but make sure to keep some for myself. Should make year round!!!"
"Haven't made these yet but as far as the ginger - you can buy different grades of chopped ginger on King Arthur Flour's site"

I bought this dress for my wedding at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco in March of 2014. I originally fell in love with it at Trudy's Bridal in Campbell, CA and ordered it during the summer of 2013 and received it in December 2013. It was a perfect dress for such a dramatic venue. I had the ceremony and reception at the same place which were both in the evening. After dinner, I changed out of the dress into a red Chinese Red so I did not end up wearing this dress all night.
- Alterations: This dress ended up stretching a bit on the hangers before I wore it for my wedding so I took it back to Trudy's and the took in the lace and added some snaps to help keep the shoulders in place. It is unhemmed and everything else stayed the same from when I received it.
- Preservation Method: It was professionally cleaned within two weeks of the wedding and has been sitting in a preservation box ever since.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt: Yes
- Location: Los Angeles, CA
- Will Ship to: Other
- Payment Methods Accepted: Other

March 4,
DeKALB, IL
--- Given the four straight winning seasons and 18 wins in its last
24 games, Northern Illinois Universitys football program not
only has developed a national profile, but it has become a fertile
ground for training young assistants.
Just ask ninth-year
Huskie head coach Joe Novak who has added four new assistants in
the last month, upgraded one holdover staffer, and switched responsibilities
for another with spring practice around the corner.
Novak completed
his 2004 Northern Illinois staff by adding three new full-time aides---Levern
Belin (pronunciation: LEE-vern BEE-lin), John Bond, and Marquis
Mosely (pronunciation: MAR-cus), promoting offensive line coach
Sam Pittman to assistant head coach, and then moving assistant Greg
Bower from defense to offense. Earlier this off-season, Novak named
Denny Doornbos as defensive coordinator and linebacker coach and
brought in Steve Bernstein as secondary coach.
The staff reorganization
was announced Thursday (March 4) by Novak.
I guess
you would say this is the price of success, said Novak, who
led the Huskies to a 10-2 campaign, Top 30 national rankings, and
victories over Bowl Championship Series opposition such as the University
of Maryland, University of Alabama, and Iowa State University last
fall. We really brought in some good coaches, which will augment
a fine, hard-working staff. While were sorry to see some people
leave, were extremely happy with the coaching expertise that
this new group brings to the table. Theres no doubt in my
mind that our recent success helped attract this group to our program.
Since the end
of the 2003 season, defensive coordinator and secondary coach Scott
Shafer went to the University of Illinois, offensive coordinator
and quarterback coach Matt Canada took a position at his Indiana
University alma mater, wide receivers coach George McDonald joined
the Stanford University staff, and tight ends coach Bill Bleil went
to the University of Pittsburgh.
Novak does not foresee any major changes. Basically, our schemes
will remain the same on offense and defense, Novak said, referring
to his I-Formation and Attack Four-Three alignments, respectively.
We always evaluate and re-evaluate our schemes. Our new people
fit into these schemes perfectly. For example, John Bond was the
offensive coordinator at Army in a one back system that featured
the pass---and thats exactly what we want to do on offense.
The 41-year-old
Bond brings 21 seasons of sideline experience to Northern Illinois
beginning with two years as a student coach (1983-84) and a year
as a grad assistant (1985) under Lou Holtz and Ken Hatfield at the
University of Arkansas. Bond arrives in DeKalb after a four-year
stint (2000-03) as offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at
Army for head coach Todd Berry.
In between,
Bond served as runningbacks coach under Jesse Branch at Southwest
Missouri State University (1986-90), three months in the same capacity
for Jim Strong at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas (1991), quarterback
coach for David Lee at the University of Texas-El Paso (1991-93),
quarterback boss and passing coordinator for Todd Knight at Delta
(MS) State University (1994-95), and offensive coordinator and QB
coach under Berry at Illinois State University (1996-99).
A former Razorback
quarterback, Bond was a member of the 8-4-0 Gator Bowl team under
Holtz (1981), suffered a career-ending injury, and then served as
a student coach on the 7-4-1 Liberty Bowl (1984) and and grad assistant
on the 10-2-0 Holiday Bowl (1985) elevens for Hatfield. At Southwest
Missouri, he tutored the runningbacks on back-to-back Gateway Conference
champions and National Collegiate Athletic Association Division
1-AA playoff entries (1989-90). The QB of those SMSU title teams
was current Huskie running-backs coach DeAndre Smith, a 1-AA All-America,
a two-time GC Player of the Year, the Football Gazette 1-AA Player
of the Year, and league Player of the Decade (1985-95).
In 1996, Bond
started an eight-year partnership with Berry at Illinois State and
continued at Army. At ISU, his high-octane Redbird attack set or
tied 50 school or conference records on a game, season, or career
level in three years as offensive coordinator. Illinois State reached
the 1-AA playoffs twice (1998-99) and captured the Gateway Conference
title (1999). Bond coached ISU All-America QB Kevin Glenn (1998).
In 1999, he was a finalist for the American Football Coaches Association
National Assistant Coach of the Year Award. In 1997, Bond also coached
an all-league WR named Marquis Mosely. At West Point, he implemented
a One Back system that would break 35 school standards. In 2003,
Bond was the recipient of the Mike Campbell Top Assistant Coach
Award by the All-American Football Foundation.
As a prep at
Rogers (AR) High School, Bond was a two-sport man and lettered in
football (3) and track (2). An All-State QB as a senior, he played
for for his father, Gary Blackie Bond, who coached for
32 years and was enshrined into the states high school federation
Hall of Fame. In 2003, Bond was inducted into the RHS Hall of Fame.
He received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from
Arkansas in 1985. Bond is married to the former Jennifer Wilder
of Bloomington, IL. The couple has a daughter, Mackenzie Rae.
Joe Novak
is an icon in the coaching business, Bond said. Im
thrilled to be part of the Northern Illinois family. Were
looking forward to the opportunity to be working for a championship
in the near future.
The 34-year-old
Belin brings 13 years of coaching experience to Novaks braintrust---ranging
from Mid-American Conference rival Ball State University to Atlantic
Coast Conference representative Maryland. The Marshville, NC, product
lettered three years as a linebacker at Wake Forest University under
head man Bill Dooley and produced 182 career tackles (1988-90).
His coaching career started as a grad assistant under Tom Coughlin
at Boston College (1991).
Belin worked
for Dan Allen at Boston University with the D-line (1992) and Mike
Cavan at East Tennessee State with the linebackers (1993). In 1994,
he moved to Ball State where he coached outside linebackers for
Paul Schudel (1994) and defensive ends under ex-Northern Illinois
aide Bill Lynch (1995-98). In 1996, BSU finished 8-4-0, won the
MAC title, and advanced to the Las Vegas Bowl. One of his top Cardinal
pupils was DE Keith McKenzie---a seventh-round draft choice of the
National Football League Green Bay Packers (1997).
After a three-month
stint at the University of Connecticut (1999), Belin joined head
man Ron VanderLindens Terrapin staff for two years at D-line
coach (1999-2000) and put the polish on Maryland NFL draft picks
Delbert Cowsette (Washington Redskins in 2000) and Kris Jenkins
(Carolina Panthers in 2001). The last three seasons, he worked for
head coach Jimmye Laycock at The College of William & Mary and
served as linebacker (2001-02) and D-line (2003) boss on 8-3, 6-5,
and 5-5 teams, respectively.
In 1996, Belin
participated in the NFL Minority Fellowship Program with the Jacksonville
Jaguars. As a prep at Forest Hills High School, he won unanimous
All-State and All-America honors during his senior year. A four-year
football letterman, Belin started 55 consecutive games, plus played
on the Class 2A state championship team (1984), the Class 3A state
runner-up (1985), and Class 3A state semifinalist (1986). He graduated
from Wake Forest with a bachelor of science degree in speech communications
in 1991. Belin is married to the former DeVida Newman of East Chicago,
IN. His brother Warren Belin won grid letters at WFU (1987-90) and
currently is the linebacker coach at Vanderbilt University.
really excited to work for head coach Joe Novak and the Northern
Illinois football program, Belin said. People across
the country have great respect for this program and what it has
accomplished the last few years.
The 28-year-old
Mosely comes to Huskie Country after two seasons as assistant wide
receivers coach with new NIU offensive coordinator John Bond at
Army (2002-03). During his football days, he played one year at
Illinois State and coached at Army with Todd Berry at Illinois State.
The last two seasons Mosely served as an aide and head junior-varsity
coach at West Point. In 2002, he worked with Black Knight WRs Aris
Comeaux---a finalist for the Mosi Tatupu Special Teams Player of
the Year Award---and William White---who finished No. 17 in NCAA
1-A all-purpose yardage (149.6 yards-per-game average).
Last summer,
Mosely participated in the NFL Minority Fellowship Program with
the Tennessee Titans staff that included offensive coordinator Mike
Heimerdinger, a DeKalb native. Prior to West Point, Mosely was in
private business and completed a two-year stint as a commerical
pilot. In 1998, he received a bachelor of science degree from the
University of Illinois in aviation administration and communications.
A Bloomington,
IL, native, Mosely starred in three sports at Bloomington High School,
lettering in football (3), basketball (3), and track (4). On the
gridiron at BHS, he was named team captain, All-Big 12 Conference,
All-Area, consensus All-State, and a Parade magazine All-America
pick as a senior (1993). As an upperclassman, Mosely caught 95 passes
for 2,043 yards---a 21.5-yard average per catch---and 27 touchdowns
(1992-93). He made 56 receptions for 1,271 yards and 15 TDs in his
final campaign. As a junior, his team finished 13-2 and reached
the Class 5A state semifinals. In track, Mosely was a member on
a mile relay unit that placed fifth (1991) and sixth (1992) in the
state meet.
Mosely lettered
three autumns at WR for head coach Lou Tepper at Illinois (1993,
1994, and 1996). As a sophomore, he played on the 7-5 Illini squad
that played East Carolina in the Liberty Bowl and beat Northern
Illinois, 34-10. In 1996, Mosely was an 11-game starter at WR. He
was also a U of I teammate of George McDonald, the Huskie wide receivers
coach the last three seasons.
In 1997, Mosely
transferred to Illinois State, played for both Berry and Bond, and
won First-Team All-Gateway honors. As a senior, he led the Redbirds
in receiving (60 catches for 868 yards and four TDs) and kickoff
returns (20 for 535 yards and a 26.8-yard average), plus set three
major ISU records (single-game receptions with 12 vs. Northern Iowa,
single-game all-purpose yardage with 316 vs. UNI, and longest KO
return with a 100-yarder vs. Buffalo). Mosely is single.
is a great opportunity for me, to work with coach Novak, Mosely
said. Personally, we go back to 1992 when he was recruiting
me at Indiana. Our relationship has grown ever since. Coach Novak
and the program here have great integrity and success.
The 42-year-old
Pittman officially becomes the first Northern Illinois assistant
head coach in the schools 103-year gridiron history.
The veteran O-line boss begins his fourth season in his second tenure
with the Huskies. His top player in 2003---center Todd Ghilani---played

scouts. An El Reno, OK, product, Pittman previously coached at Hutchinson
Community College (1991-93), NIU (1994-95), Cincinnati (1996), Oklahoma

As of Tuesday, June 28th, 2011, Canada Post services will resume, following the passage of Bill C-6, "An Act to provide for the resumption and continuation of postal services" that was passed in the House of Commons and received royal assent in the Senate earlier on Sunday.
The tension still persists among the postal union members as their demands haven`t been met. "Our members are going back and they're angry, they're quite upset and that resentment is going to the workplace", declared George Floresco, national vicepresident of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. "They're angry at Canada Post and they're angry at the Harper government. The mail will get processed - we're not angry at the customers, that's for sure - but it's only going to carry on and there won't be any labour peace in the post office for years to come as a result of this."
Canada Post has apologized for the disruption that affected millions of customers and confirmed that Canadians and Business customers can expect to start receiving mail on Tuesday, June 28th; post offices that were closed will start to reopen the same day and resume normal hours; all mailboxes will be unsealed and ready to receive mail as soon as possible.

What a perfect fall day! Today, I decided to put my apples to good use and make Bourbon Apple Cranberry Crisp. Apple crisp has always been one of my favorite desserts, but a few years ago I started adding the bourbon and cranberries and fell even more in love! The perfectly tart apples and cranberries and the sweet bourbon are the perfect pairing for the extra thick layer of crunchy goodness over the top. This dessert is best served warm out of the oven with vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream, but spoonfuls have been know to go missing in the middle of the night, long after the crisp has cooled been put into the refrigerator!
Bourbon Apple Cranberry Crisp
- 12 cups apple — or about 8 large ,peeled and diced, I prefer honey crisp and granny smith apples
- 2 1/2 cups cranberry — fresh or frozen
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup bourbon (optional)
Oatmeal Crumb Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar — firmly packed
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 cup butter — or margarine
Heat oven to 375. Grease 13×9 baking dish. In large bowl, combine all fruit mixture ingredients; toss to coat. Pour into baking dish. Don't worry if it is close to the top, the fruit will cook down.
In small bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar and flour. Use pastry blender, fork, or hands and mix until crumbly and into gumball size pieces. (it doesn't have to be perfect, just mostly together) Sprinkle topping evenly over fruit and bake at 375 for 60 minutes or until golden brown and apples are tender and start to bubble. Serve with ice cream, whipped cream or topping and enjoy!
Note: For an easy entertaining option, prepare the fruit mixture ahead and freeze. Thaw in fridge for 8 hours. Pour into greased baking pan and continue with the recipe.

VMware Plans Virtualization for Mobile Phones
The virtualization specialist adopted the know-how for the product through its acquisition of Trango Virtual Processors
The virtualization specialist adopted the know-how for the product through its acquisition of Trango Virtual Processors. VMware predicts that the coupling of hardware and applications in one thin software layers means handset manufacturers can produce their devices more quickly. For users, the benefit would be combining private and business usage as separate personalities into one handset, thereby reducing the need for multiple devices.
VMware MVP itself supports among other operating systems Windows CE 5.0 and 6.0, Linux 2.6.x, Symbian 9.x, eCos, µITRON NORTi and µC/OS-II.
According to Gartner Group's Monica Basso, VMware seems to have hit the mark with its product, calling it a "very promising and potentially fast emerging market." She predicts that more than half the smart phones shipped in 2012 will be virtualized.

The Arizona State swimming and diving teams will take to the water Friday and Saturday, slated to compete in two Pac-12 bouts in consecutive days. The action gets started at 1:00 p.m. MT Friday afternoon, Jan. 24, from the home of the Cal Golden Bears in Berkeley, Calif., before making the quick trip to Stanford for another 1:00 p.m. MT matchup against Stanford on Saturday, Jan. 25.
Friday afternoon showcases the Sun Devils in the spotlight as the Pac-12 Networks will broadcast the meet live with Rich Burk and Natalie Coughlin on the call.
Last time in the pool, the ASU men dropped its contest to Utah, 191-105. Thibaut Capitaine paced the Sun Devils with two individual victories in the 100 and 200 breast, to which he holds the school record for. He will look to make another statement in the pool this weekend against some of his fastest conference opponents, whom include two Cal swimmers with 2012 Olympic gold medals. Cal is ranked No. 4 in the latest CSCAA NCAA Division I Men's Swimming and Diving Rankings.
Tristin Baxter continues to leave the field in her wake in the 1000 and 500 free, and she and her teammates have already showed they can compete with the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, Cal. The Golden Bear women took first out of nine schools in the UNLV Fall Invite in November. ASU took second.
Riley McCormick, who placed first in both dives against Utah, has anchored the Sun Devil diving team all year long. The men's and women's divers won all three combined dives which included an ASU diver last time out versus the Utes.
It's the next game up after a quick turnaround into Saturday for the Sun Devils as they head to Palo Alto to square off against the No. 4 Stanford women's and No. 11 Stanford men's teams.
Follow along Friday for live results with the matchup against Cal at http://collegeswimming.us/results/25975.

I have been on the search for a good highlighter/luminizer for years now, I have tried dozens of different ones and most of them I haven't been thrilled by. So far I have two that are my top favorites; one is a cream and one is a powder.
I have swatched in the photos 4 popular powder forms:
The first one is Albatross by Nars. It is a white highlighter with gold pigments in the sheen. This is a cult favorite, but personally I find it to be too white and chalky looking. I usually use it on my clients eyes instead of face. It works amazingly on the brow bone and inner corner of the eyes.
The second is Mary-Lou Manizer by theBalm. I love this one, its formula is super pigmented so just a tiny bit goes a long ways. It is more of a warm tone, so it looks good on every skin color and doesn't come off as chalky or white. It gives you an amazing healthy glow to your cheek bones.
The third is Perfectly Lit in Luminous by Lorac. I am a big fan of this highlighter too, because it is the most subtle, and the most natural looking. Perfect for highlighting down the nose, where you want a tiny bit of shine but not a dramatic metallic look. This powder also looks more like a face powder with some sheen in, so it actually provides some coverage on top of illuminating the face.
The fourth is Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish by Mac. I know a lot of Mac makeup artists swear by this, but personally I find it too metallic looking and dramatic to use on a clients face. It works better for highlighting your body (collar bone, legs, etc)
Two cream formulas that are swatched:
The first is Watts up by Benefit. I love this formula, and it looks amazing on eyes. It goes on really smoothly, and most importantly it blends easily and seamlessly. Also, the color comes off with a warm tone instead of white and chalky. Most importantly it is easy to blend.
The second is Living Luminizer by RMS Beauty. I'm not impressed by this one. The formula goes on very pale and white and is hard to blend. It seems to chunk up and look cakey.
The Verdict:
My favorites that I will keep repurchasing are Mary-Lou Manizer, Watts up, and Perfectly Lit.

Hony Capital CEO Bullish About China's Growth and PE's Role
Urbanization in China and its developing consumer sector will provide a good investment opportunity for private equity investors, Hony Capital's founder and Chief Executive John Zhao said at Tuesday's SuperReturn Asia conference in Hong Kong.
Mr. Zhao remains bullish about China's long-term growth, but noted the country's "growth engine" has stalled. He cited recent data including industrial power generation, which has been seen falling on a year-over-year comparison, pointing to a slowdown in the nation's economy.
Andrew Yan, managing partner at SAIF Partners, said in a separate panel that the slowdown is actually a good thing, since such fast economic growth is not sustainable. In addition to that, 44% of people polled at the conference believe China will generate the best returns in the coming three years, compared with other Asian countries including India and Indonesia.
Mr. Zhao said the Chinese government also has "a lot of tools and resources to drive wealth," including encouraging investments. However, he added that China is still in the early stages of economic development, and sectors including healthcare still need to be improved.
"China is still the baby on the block," said Mr. Zhao, who noted that the private equity industry will have a an "important" role to play in the process of helping develop the nation, especially as those in power encourage growth in the private sector, which will need investment.
