Scot Wingo, left, enjoys coffee with Jason Caplain of Bull City Ventures and Southern Capitol. Through Southern Capitol, Caplain became an early investor in ChannelAdvisor, and the pair keep a regular coffee date. John West
The UpTake: in Raleigh, ChannelAdvisor CEO Scott Wingo keeps a regular Wednesday coffee date to advise budding entrepreneurs. Here's what came out of one session.
It was a chilly day at the Starbucks on Page Road in Raleigh, but not too chilly for ChannelAdvisor CEO Scot Wingo to sit outside.
Armed with a pumpkin spice latte, he eyed the entrepreneurs across from him as they delivered their pitches.
It's a typical Wednesday, and Wingo's friend and investor, Jason Caplain of Southern Capitol Ventures and Bull City Ventures, has brought in a new startup for an introduction.
Wingo does this once a week — meets with entrepreneurs, hears them out and delivers his honest thoughts.
At the time of the pitch, entrepreneurs Thad Tarkington and Kevin Barry were about to close on a $300,000 round. The round ended up being led by RTP Capital investor David Gardner. Eight investors participated.
"It's not the high-tech enterprise software solutions I typically do, but it's the smart thing to do," Gardner would later write in an email.
But today, they're just introducing their concept — a service that delivers air conditioner filters to you directly via subscription. The pair tell Wingo how they've just returned to Raleigh. They had been at the Iron Yard, an accelerator in South Carolina. When they were accepted in March, the pair dropped out of N.C. State University mid-semester.
Wingo cringes. He is, after all, a father.
Currently, the pair are using filters with another manufacturer's name on the labels, but hope to get their brand on one soon.
"Eventually it will probably be the 'Easy Filter' by Filter Easy," Tarkington says.
"What's your strategy to getting this in front of consumers?" asks Wingo.
"Viral marketing," Tarkington replies.

TAMPA, Fla. — Derek Jeter said he was "impressed" by Jameis Winston in his brief meeting with Florida State University's 2013 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback.
.@Jaboowins poses w/ @Yankees greats Jorge Posada and Derek Jeter today. #Noles @FSU_Baseball pic.twitter.com/BileGN4rja— FSU Football (@FSU_Football) February 25, 2014
"It was pretty remarkable what he was able to do this season," Jeter told reporters Wednesday morning at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
Jeter and Winston spoke for a few minutes in the middle of the Yankees' spring training game against the Seminoles at home Tuesday afternoon. Jeter, Winston and Jorge Posada also posed for a picture, which they posted to Twitter.
They appeared to have spoken in the bowels of the stadium. Jeter didn't play in the game.
Winston said he was starstruck playing against his favorite team. Jeter said Winston was "very respectful" in their meeting.
"It was brief," the Yankees' captain said of the meeting. "We were leaving and they were in the middle of the game. So I didn't want to take too much time but I was impressed with him."
An outfielder and a closer, Winston has repeatedly said he'd like to play both baseball and football professionally. The Rangers drafted him in 2012.
Jeter said he hopes Winston can make that dream come true.
"I think it's cool that he's playing two sports," Jeter said. "You don't see that too often now. Kids when they're growing up nowadays pretty much specialize in one particular sport, as opposed to playing a lot of different ones like we all did when we were younger."
Jeter watched some of the the NCAA football national title game, which Winston helped Florida State win over Auburn.
"I didn't watch the end because I fell asleep," he said. "But I watched it the next day."

NORTHAMPTON - A Hampshire Superior Court judge has denied Alex Rankins' motion for a new trial in the murder of Robert D'Amour, saying his arguments are without basis.
Rankins, a former bar bouncer from Springfield, was convicted in 1996 of first degree murder for shooting D'Amour to death in his South Hadley home three years earlier. D'Amour's wife, Suzanne D'Amour, who worked as his dental assistant, was also charged with conspiring to murder her husband but was acquitted in a separate trial. A decisive bit of evidence, a statement by Rankins to some friends that he had "popped a white guy from Hadley," was admitted at his trial but excluded from D'Amour's as hearsay.
D'Amour, who was convicted of perjury and sentenced to 10-12 years in prison, paid Rankins' legal costs. Prosecutors argued that she hatched the plot to kill her husband in order to collect a $3.3 million life insurance policy. Rankins, meanwhile, was sentenced to life in prison.
Rankins' initial appeal was rejected by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. The new motion, filed by New Hampshire lawyer Sandra Bloomenthal, claims Rankins' trial lawyer, David Hoose, was not acting in the defendant's best interests because he was being paid by D'Amour. Specifically, Bloomenthal cites an instance in which Hoose argued a point in the judge's chambers without Rankins being present and without informing his client of the situation.
Northwestern Assistant District Attorney Thomas Townsend, who wrote the opposition to the motion, said the trial transcript shows that Hoose sought to argue the point in chambers so the press would not hear potentially damaging evidence. Moreover, the transcript notes that the judge in the case directed Hoose to inform Rankins of the situation and that Hoose reported he did and his client had no objection. Judge Jeffrey Kinder, who ruled on the motion for a new trial, called Rankins' claim of ineffective assistance "self-serving," and ruled that it had no basis.
The other argument in Bloomenthal's motion was that Rankins was effectively retried and acquitted "in absentia" at D'Amour's subsequent trial because she was acquitted. Kinder also rejected this claim, calling it a "bold and novel proposition" that lacked any persuasive authority. Kinder also declined to hold a hearing on the motion for a new trial.
D'Amour was released from prison in 2002 and immediately engaged in a legal battle with lawyer Richard Birchall, who had handled her finances, claiming he had spirited the insurance settlement into offshore accounts beyond her reach.
In response to Rankins' latest motion, Birchall fired off a statement to The Republican saying, "Charitably, this is worse than nonsense."

Welcome to Country
Traditional welcomes
The City of Sydney acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional custodians of our land – Australia. The City acknowledges the Gadigal of the Eora Nation as the traditional custodians of this place we now call Sydney.
As a mark of respect to the traditional custodians, City of Sydney events, official meetings, functions and other special occasions begin with a Welcome to Country ceremony.
The City encourages other organisations, community groups and event producers to include a Welcome to Country and/or an Acknowledgement of Country on appropriate occasions.
Welcome to Country
A Welcome to Country is delivered by an Elder (or another appropriate representative from the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities) and can take the form of a speech or a performance.
Whether spoken or performed, the aim of the ceremony is to acknowledge the traditional custodians and welcome the wider community.
The Elder (or a representative) will give their blessing to the event, function, meeting or occasion. In response, the host (MC or key speaker) will acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities by paying respects to Elders (past and present).
Acknowledgment of Country
Acknowledgement of Country is where other people acknowledge and show respect for the Traditional Custodians of the land on which the event is taking place.
Such an Acknowledgement of Country can be used exclusively if an Elder or other appropriate member of the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander communities is not available to perform a Welcome to Country.
Traditional custodians
Traditional owners and custodians are the terms used to describe the original Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples who inhabited an area.
Traditional custodians today are descendants of these original inhabitants and have continuing spiritual, cultural, political and often physical connection with particular land where their ancestors lived.
The traditional owners and custodians of the local area are known as the Gadigal people.
For more information regarding traditional owners and custodians please contact the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council.
You may also hear the traditional custodians referred to as the Eora people and the area called Eora Country.
The word 'Eora' simply means 'here' or 'from this place'.
Local Aboriginal people used the word to describe to the British where they came from and so it was later used to define the Aboriginal people themselves.
The terms are proudly used today.
For information about how to appropriately conduct a Welcome to Country, contact the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council.
If you would like to be provided with contact details for an appropriate representative to conduct a traditional welcome, be sure to get in touch 2 weeks (minimum) before your event.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - It's been a week in the spotlight for Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn).
The juiciest nugget was the report from Brooklyn Magazine that said Grimm and a lady friend had had a tryst in the unisex bathroom of the Owl's Head wine bar in Bay Ridge on the Friday night before the government shutdown.
Grimm strenuously, and later laughingly, denied the report, saying that nothing inappropriate happened, and laying the whole thing at the feet of Democrats. There is an election coming up in 2014, after all.
Those who doubted the story pointed out that it took more than two weeks for the account to emerge, and in a publication that not many, even on the Brooklyn side, were very familiar with. No named witnesses came forward to share their tales in the article.
On the flip side, Grimm called the Owl's Head a "Democratic bar," but the establishment is also around the block from the district office that Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-East Shore/Brooklyn) shares with GOP Brooklyn state Sen. Martin Golden, so there are some Republicans in what Grimm called "enemy territory."
But that didn't stop the story from lighting up the Twitterverse, including among media types. It served to remind some of the other issues that have surrounded Grimm, from the ongoing FBI investigation of his 2010 fundraising on down. Grimm has not been charged in that probe and has denied any and all wrongdoing.
No matter how you look at it, the story wasn't a positive for Grimm, coming as it did in the waning days of the government shutdown, during which the GOP brand took a decided hit, even as Grimm in the end voted for the deal that ended the shutdown.
The story also popped the week that Grimm's Democratic challenger, Brooklyn Councilman Domenic Recchia, reported that he'd raised a total of $1 million for next year's race. Grimm, at the same time reported having $827,711 in cash on hand.
But even Democrats acknowledge this: Nothing has yet knocked Grimm off stride; he easily won re-election in 2012.
Grimm said the voters in the district "know me for the hard working, results oriented person that I am and have always been."
He then took aim at Recchia.
"They are not fooled by Democrat-led falsities and contrived, fictitious scandals, nor are they distracted by the fact that the Democrats' candidate is a career, political hack that thinks he can pick up votes in the South Shore because he is 'more Italian' than me or because of his feeble attempt to buy votes by spending Brooklyn, tax-payer money on the North Shore."
That South Shore/Italian comment referred to a Politicker item in which Recchia explained how he would win next year by scooping up Italian-American votes on the South Shore.
Grimm said his honor and integrity "remain beyond reproach regardless of how many times reporters write, like gossip rags, and regurgitate the obvious smear campaign against the only federal Republican in all of New York City."
"People are tired of Washington 'politics as usual' where desperate politicians blame everyone else for their actions or, more often than not, inactions," said Recchia spokeswoman Ashleigh Owens.
She said Recchia would continue to focus the issues.
"Michael Grimm should stop pulling political stunts and blaming the world for his personal problems long enough to join the conversation," she said.

On Friday, October 28th, Oak Mountain High School senior Austin Park won $2,000 from Team Mutual, the financial education program for students from Mutual Savings Credit Union. Austin, along with other Oak Mountain students, registered for a field goal kicking contest at the Team Mutual tent during Oak Mountain football games at Heardmont Park all season. Austin's name was drawn from hundreds of entries and he spent the days leading up to his big kick working on his technique with the Oak Mountain High School football team.
Mutual Savings Credit Union helps students and parents add to their financial education through the Team Mutual brand and activities. Financial tips, game updates and interviews with Austin can be found at www.TeamMutual.com.
Austin is the son of Dee and Nathan Park and will be able to use the $2,000 towards expenses associated with college next year.
"Through contests like this and through education, Team Mutual strives to help students offset some of the many expenses they encounter in college," said Douglas L. Key, Mutual Savings Credit Union's CEO. "We hope that this will give students an advantage and that they will begin a financial partnership with Mutual Savings Credit Union."
Austin was given three chances to successfully kick a field goal from the 10-yard line prior to the Eagles game against the visitors from Pinson Valley High School. The large crowd gathered for Senior Night showed their support for Austin as he was interviewed by local television stations after the winning kick. See Austin in action and other photos from the big event at the Mutual Savings Credit Union Facebook fan page.
Mutual Savings Credit Union is a $166 million financial institution with 7 locations throughout Jefferson, Shelby, Tallapoosa, and Dallas counties. Residents, students, workers, and worshipers in these counties are eligible for membership to Mutual Savings Credit Union. For more information, please visit www.mutualsavings.org

Paul Pierce
Last year's stats: 37.5 mpg, 20.5 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 3.6 apg, 1.0 spg, 45.7% FG, 39.7% 3 FG, 83% FT
Projected Stats:
Chuck: 34.5 mpg, 19.4 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 3.8 apg, 1.1 spg, 45.3% FG, 38.8% 3 FG, 82% FT
John: 33.0 mpg, 19.5 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 3.5 apg, 0.8 spg, 46.4% FG, 40.2% 3 FG, 85.2% FT
What will help him the most?
Chuck: The bench depth – specifically Marquis Daniels. The Truth turns 32 this fall and is coming off a season in which he played 37 minutes per game. With Pierce, reducing his time on the court will improve his productivity, and the acquisition of Daniels will help make that happen. Rasheed Wallace will also help reduce the offensive burden on Pierce when he's playing with the second unit.
John: Gotta go with Chuck here. There's a reason the Celtics focused so much on building such bench depth. Paul Pierce has spent almost every minute of his career carrying the burden for this team. He's finally going to grab a few extra minutes on the bench without worrying about shouldering the entire load. He'll still get the clutch minutes, and he'll be better at that point because of the extra minutes. Chuck and I agree on his totals… but we differ on his percentages. I think he'll play less and produce more in his time on the floor.
What will hurt him the most?
Chuck: Pierce is a physical player. He loves to create contact. Granted, he's not getting to the line like in years past, but the pounding may catch up to him. Rather than see Pierce change his style, I'm hoping (praying) a reduction in minutes will lessen the trauma.
John: Ugh… I'm agreeing with Chuck again? Pierce is a bull out there. There's no one better at taking contact and getting a decent shot up. It's a huge part of his game. But the more contact he takes, the higher the risk of something bad happening. On the plus side, he's built to take that kind of abuse… and the reduced minutes will help.
Will he be an All Star?
Chuck: No. Statistically, I foresee Pierce taking a step backwards this year, at least in the regular season.
John: Yes. The Celtics will be one of the top 3 teams in the East. Someone from Boston is going to have to represent the team. It's possible Rondo gets the nod… but I still see Pierce hitting enough big shots to still be the obvious leader of this team. Besides, this is the point of his career where reputation counts too… and Pierce's production, along with his standing in Celtics history, should be enough to at least get him on the squad.
Burning question: How long before Paul Pierce loses his Superman cape?
Chuck: I hate to say this, but Paul Pierce is past his prime. We saw glimpses of Superman in the 2009 playoffs (Game 5 vs Chicago), but I fear those performances are dwindling. Fortunately, this team has so much talent, we can win it all with Pierce playing Superman on a once a week basis.
John: Clutch is clutch. You don't just lose that. The difference in Paul last year was there was no gas left in the tank. As far as I'm concerned, the cape comes off when the sneakers come off. As long as Doc can keep him rested, Pierce will have enough left to come through. And remember this: When Big Baby hit that game winner in Orlando, Pierce was the guy who made the pass. He knows what to do with the ball in the clutch, and I don't think that's going away anytime soon.
Other Player Projections: Ray Allen | Rajon Rondo | Tony Allen | Brian Scalabrine

Doc - Just to check my understanding (or lack there of) of the system...I looked at the PSEC chart, since today would be the first entry date, I think. Based on my understanding, yesterday would have said place an order to today at about 10.85 (3% below yesterday's close of 11.18.) If that's right, then even with this mornings significant drop, no shares would have been purchased because it didn't get even close to 10,85
If that's all right (I know you will fix any parts that I got wrong), it seems to me, from this example and a casual look at charts of the other companies, I'm wondering if this method leads to very many purchases since it requires a 3% drop in a day, which seems rare with these stocks.
OK, Doc...what did I mess up? :)
and...now that today is over, am I properly applying the rule to say that today's action indicates no order for tomorrow?
Is the point of the 3% that one would only actually pickup shares a time or two during the month, but it would be on a mini crash moment?
Diva, nobody answered because its a long one. Do this, type glad in the box at the top of this page right beside current board. On the 2nd page there is an entry by reits r us on Mar 4 @8:29 PM. it explains the most current thinking on how to play Docs Fab Five. I printed out the msg from setting the trade to the end of the msg. There is one change at the end of A change 2.5% to 2%. I hope this helps, Bow

Michigan multilisting service Realcomp II Ltd. reported an uptick in home sales in southeastern Michigan in February compared to year-ago figures.
There were 3,184 home sales in February 2007 in the region compared to 3,591 last month, Farmington Hills-based Realcomp said. That represents a 12.8 percent increase.
Realcomp's figures represent only houses listed with member Realtors.
Oakland County saw a 7.54 percent increase, to 818 sales in February this year. The greatest increase was in the city of Detroit, where there were 538 sales last year in February and 804 this year.
Livingston County recorded a 19.5 percent increase over last year, Macomb County a 21.7 percent increase and Wayne County a 28.1 percent increase, the company said. The only county Realcomp reported to have slid was St. Clair, with a 9.4 percent decrease to 87 homes sold in February 2008.
The regional increase is likely the result of right-pricing, according to Realcomp. Further, Realcomp speculates that the foreclosure market and the maturing of adjusted rate loans have run their courses.
Realcomp does not track every sale -- including for-sale-by-owner homes and some foreclosures sold at bank auctions -- but hopes that the increase in activity heralds a brisk sales season this year. Historically, home sales increase in the spring and summer months, so the increase in sales early on could mean a better year in the residential real estate market, according to Realcomp.

Let's just get this out of the way now: the Cubs haven't done anything of note in the last several days, unless you count this. We all know there are moves to be made, but hardly anyone is making them yet. For all the talk about the MLB "hot stove," I think offseasons are usually more like cascading dominoes, and for whatever reason, the first one hasn't fallen yet. Rest assured we'll let you know when it does.
In other MLB news, and to no one's surprise, Mike Trout and Bryce Harper were named Rookies of the Year in the AL and NL, respectively. Many fans hope Trout adds to his collection of hardware Thursday when the MVP award is announced, but his unanimous ROY might have been a consolation prize.
I was out most of the evening and didn't get to see the Chiefs lose to the Steelers in overtime. It seems Roethlisberger was injured, bringing the number of battered starting QBs seemingly into the teens (not really). The Bears are set to sign Josh McCown as insurance against a lengthy Jay Cutler absence, although he and the 49ers' Alex Smith seem to be feeling better the day after their concussions. However it looks like Nick Foles will start in place of an injured Michael Vick, whose own concussion was described as "serious."
Lance Armstrong has formally cut ties with his Livestrong campaign. I don't know if that means we're supposed to put the plastic yellow bracelets back on, or throw them away forever. This whole doping scandal is really wreaking havoc with my charity-inspired accessories drawer.
That should be enough to get you started for now. I may add some more links in the morning depending on what catches my eye.

Federal Way Mirror announces April Citizen of the Month
Long-time Federal Way resident Brenda Oliver had long conversations with James Childs about his daughter, Danica, who went missing in 2007.
Childs had mentored Oliver's son in basketball and their kids knew each other. Then, Childs was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
"I just remember long conversations with him and just trying to give him some hope and just encouraging him that we would never give up looking for Danica," Oliver recalled. "It just laid heavy on my heart."
Oliver later met Danica's mother, Dianne Zoro, at Childs's funeral. She learned that Danica was a victim of sex trafficking and so began her journey of advocating for victims.
"I think like many people, I just thought there's no way this is happening in our country," she said. "I mean, I grew up here. We knew about it in Third World countries or across borders. So Danica is truly the reason I got involved in human trafficking because as I did more research I realized, wow, we have an issue right here in our own country."
The founder of Federal Way Coalition Against Trafficking (FWCAT), Oliver is the Mirror's Citizen of the Month for April.
Federal Way resident Karen Brugato nominated Oliver for her years of dedication to girls in need.
"She has worked tirelessly toward this cause bringing the organization up from nothing," Brugato said. "Really grass-roots stuff. She has worked not only to bring the organization into the Federal Way Public Schools with the 'engage' curriculum but has supported legislation in Olympia and has the support of our Federal Way Police."
Brugato added when Oliver first approached Advancing Leadership (AL) 2013 for help, "she was so moving in her presentation and so without resources to further her cause. All she wanted was funds for marketing materials and a computer.
AL gave her a marketing plan for the "Break the Chains" walk, which gathered $10,000 the first year. The second annual walk is set for May 17 at the Farmer's Market.
"Oh, it makes me want to cry," said Oliver of the nomination, who was on her way out her front door to attend a FWCAT meeting on Tuesday night.
She said she was humbled by the recognition and stressed that she couldn't do this work without the many volunteers who have helped, including Zoro.
"I have not done any of this single-handedly," she said. "It pulls at the heart strings and we want to see an end to it."
Oliver founded FWCAT after she attended a conference and met Liz Drake, who is currently the principal at Thomas Jefferson High School.
One of Drake's teachers said "we realize there's an issue in Federal Way, we're seeing it in our high school," Oliver recalled. So Oliver and other volunteers held a meeting and invited city officials, police, state representatives and they discussed what the community could do to combat human trafficking.
She said FWCAT's goal is to prevent human trafficking through education. The organization offers a three-day program in the schools called "Deceptions." Volunteers speak with middle school and high school students about the pros and cons of social media and keeping posts private.
"Don't put everything out there because groomers and traffickers use that information," she noted.
Oliver said she is motivated the most by the students FWCAT teaches. One defining moment involved an eighth grade boy who had questions during the presentation.
"He came up afterwards and he said, you know, I used to think pimps had a lot of swag," Oliver said. "But he said after today I realize they just abuse human beings. So here's an eighth grade boy and he got it."
For more information, visit www.fwcat.org
The Mirror's Citizen of the Month is sponsored by Jimmy Macs Roadhouse. To nominate a Federal Way resident, email firstname.lastname@example.com Please include the person's full name, contact information and reason why you think that person should be selected.

I have supported ABLE Families for about four years and have had the opportunity to meet the leaders and some of the children they help. It is a faith-based charity that makes its services available to all, making a real difference to poor families. ABLE Families integrates the efforts of several programs, and they faithfully direct targeted gifts to the intended recipients. The fundraising costs appear to be minimal, so nearly all funds go to the needy. The newsletter is excellent. This is one charity anyone can support with confidence.

CENTREVILLE, MI – A Three Rivers woman fell asleep while driving Tuesday, resulting in a rollover accident in Nottawa Township, according to a news release from the St. Joseph County Sheriff's Office.
Chelsea Gabbard, 20, was heading west on Findley Road, just west of Ironwood Drive, when she fell asleep at the wheel and hit a small group of trees near 11:35 a.m. Her car rolled over on the driver's side and rested against a tree.
Gabbard, who was cited for careless driving, was taken to Three Rivers Hospital to treat minor injuries, the sheriff's office said. Alcohol was not a factor in the accident and Gabbard was wearing her seat belt.

Visiting China -- A Good Investment Of Time and Money
[left]"Visiting China -- A Good Investment Of Time and Money"
In the first part of this mini-course I told you it's possible to get into importing from China without leaving home, thanks to the power of internet communications.
But first I think it's important to talk about actually visiting China yourself, because this can really give you a head-start. I know a lot of you are interested in visiting China on business, or already planning to, because of the responses we got for our Chinavasion Trade Fairs Tour in April 2006.
The advantages of visiting China in person
· Chinese business culture is very person-focused. The better you know people, the better you will be able to do business. In fact, without some form of "relationship" you won't be able to do business at all. You can establish this kind of relationship by phone and email (and money!) but of course face-to-face is the fastest way to let suppliers get to know and trust you.
· If you have visited China you will have much more credibility both with the Chinese suppliers you talk to, and with your domestic customers. It can also demonstrate that you're a serious importer, when it comes to talking to banks and customs brokers.
· Even after visiting one time you will have the advantage of a realistic perspective on your suppliers and contacts. You will know more clearly what you can and can't expect from them. Your expectations about China in general will be more realistic.
For example, in China, if you don't like a dish in a restaurant, you can't simply send it back. The waiter and manager will probably argue with you and tell you it is fine!! It's the same in the shops -- you can't take back a piece of clothing after you bought it, just because you changed your mind. We have good customer service in China, but we also believe strongly in "customer beware"! Now think about when you're importing from your supplier and you're much further away when you receive the goods. Will you expect them instantly to take back products you're dissatisfied with, and pay your refunds including your extra shipping costs? Maybe there will be no problem, with a good supplier, but at least with some background on China you will know what is normal and what is an 'unreasonable' request, in Chinese eyes.
· Many of the products you'll see in China may be great, high quality, successful sellers in the Chinese domestic market but possibly completely unknown in your country. You will get tons of new product ideas, even if you weren't originally looking for them
· If you visit China, you are guaranteed to have a great time, and discover all sorts of cultural and culinary delights! And your business holiday will be tax-deductible!
Travelling to (and in) China is nowhere near as hard as it used to be. I haven't got the space to talk here about how best to visit China -- I think I will have to leave that to another article, but for the moment I'll pass on a few hints if you've no idea about this country:
Nicholas's top 7 tips for newcomer business visitors in China
1. Even if you have a good relationship on the phone / email with a company, don't expect them to arrange transport for you or pick you up from the airport. Organise your trip so you are self-sufficient as far as possible.
2. Taxi drivers in China definitely don't speak English -- sorry. If you are travelling anywhere get Chinese people to write down the address in Chinese. Sometimes this won't help either so you need to have the phone number of the people you're visiting so you can call them from the taxi and get them to speak to the driver.
3. If you are doing visits to companies, allow a lot of time for travel. The big cities in China are really big and you could spend over two hours travelling between two places in the city.
4. If you have never visited China before, you are likely to be impressed by the food. However if your stomach isn't used to it you will feel hungry if not ill. So bring snack food. (Maybe you can make a side business importing chocolate into China!)
5. If you are a man and you are invited to dinner with Chinese business people, expect to drink a LOT. If you don't drink you should consider meeting people at other times of day.
6. Carry RMB cash, as your credit card won't be very useful outside of your hotel.
7. Ask a Chinese person to invent a Chinese name for you and have it printed on the other side of your business card. If you can get Chinese business address, job title, etc this will also look nice. Take hundreds of business cards -- you will need them.
If you're visiting China, you should plan your trip to coincide with one of the major trade fairs. When you visit a trade fair, you will be able to meet so many potential suppliers all in one space, and they will be in "export mode" -- i.e. ready to speak to you in English, with marketing materials, and real product samples you can check out first hand.
P.S. If you're really serious about buying wholesale from China, crushing your competition, and ramping up your online profits... then go to
right away. Drop Shipping is really this easy.

Walker leaves UCLA for New Mexico State
By MARK SAXON
LOS ANGELES - New Mexico State hired UCLA defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker to be its coach Tuesday, leaving Rick Neuheisel without a pillar in his "triumvirate."
The hiring was confirmed in a statement by New Mexico State athletic director McKinley Boston. The school will introduce Walker at a press conference Wednesday morning.
"DeWayne is a first-class coach and a first-class man who certainly deserves the opportunity to run his own program," Neuheisel said in a prepared statement.
Walker will be one of seven African-American major-college head coaches.
He inherits a program that has had only four winning seasons since 1967 and has not been to the postseason in 48 years. Walker replaces Hal Mumme, who had an 11-38 record in four seasons.
Walker could not be reached for comment. In an October interview, he said he was open to accepting any job in the NCAA's upper division, citing Urban Meyer's climb from Bowling Green to Utah to Florida.
"When you get the opportunity, it's up to you to make the most of it," Walker said.
Walker helped guide the Bruins to a dominating defensive effort in 2006, including a stunning 13-9 upset that kept USC out of the national-title game.
Retaining Walker, who interviewed to be the Bruins' head coach last winter, was among Neuheisel's early priorities. Walker and offensive coordinator Norm Chow enjoyed autonomy in running their units last season, when the young Bruins went 4-8.
Neuheisel said he already has a list of candidates in mind to replace Walker. The search won't begin until the Bruins' staff reconvenes Sunday.USC assistant coach Ken Norton, a former Bruins All-American, likely would have been near the top of Neuheisel's list if not for Norton's comments earlier this week. Norton complained that UCLA was using his name to lure potential recruits to Westwood, a claim Neuheisel denied."Kenny probably would have been among those considered, with no guarantees," Neuheisel said. "However, his quotes in the paper say he is staying at USC, so we wish him well.'"
Other names that already have been floated as possible successors: Montana head coach Bobby Hauck, brother of UCLA defensive-backs coach, Tim Hauck, and Ricky Hunley, a former college and NFL coach now working as an assistant to Chow.

Miley Cyrus Gets a Special Birthday Gift From PETA
Miley Cyrus' fans have watched her grow into a gorgeous young woman with a kind and compassionate heart, so to celebrate her 20th birthday on November 23, PETA is surprising Miley with something that she really wants.
© StarMaxInc.com
During a recent appearance on Ellen, Miley talked about how much she loves pigs, so PETA sponsored a very special pig in her honor. Nora, whom PETA helped rescue, is a resident at Kindred Spirits Sanctuary, a picturesque farm in Ocala, Florida, that gives refuge to animals who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned, including pigs, cows, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, horses, and donkeys.
Miley proved her affection for pigs when she retweeted a PETA action alert to her 10 million followers asking them to urge Walmart to ban its suppliers from cruelly confining pigs to tiny metal-barred gestation crates for months at a time.
And the singer's compassion for animals doesn't stop there. She lavishes love on her rescued dogs and consistently encourages people always to adopt and never buy. And she's striving to rid her diet of dairy products.
Miley's fans are awesome animal advocates, too. They've set up a special fundraising page where people can donate to PETA's lifesaving work for animals in honor of the compassionate birthday girl.
Happy birthday, Miley! We love you!
Commenting is closed.
Yeah whats the deal with the fur
I love Miley and I think she's completely gorgeous, but she seems to wear quite a lot of fur, and what looks like real fur. PETA, please can you tell Miley, as you did with the beautiful Eva Mendez, how fur is produced, and please, ask her to do an anti fur campaign video. She would be such an inspiration to millions of people, especially the younger generations of the future, if she spoke of her compassion and how she doesn't wear fur (assumming of course, that upon watching videos of animals being skinned alive, clubbed, drowned, beaten and electrocuted, that she, like any decent person, would immediately shun fur and feal sickened by the industry.
If only this can help get the word out to treat pigs with dignity. They are extremely intelligent creatures, more so than many dogs. People treat them heartlessly….so, so sad. Vegan bacon is quite good by the way….can people just give it a try??
the thought is nice, but you should've sponsored the pig whether it was her birthday or not /:
I love Miley! She's good singer, actress, etc.
Happy 20th birthday to you,Miley!! Keep it up with your good health!! Love you always!!!
Happy Birthday for beautiful lady with a beautiful heart !
happy b'day.
Miley I commend you on your love of animals i feel the same way . I love my two dogs just like they are my children. I do not have children just my dogs. People do nit realize they have souls and feeling like we do. Thank you Miley for bring peoples attention to animals! You are the best!
Miley buys at Kitsonla they sell fur is that compassionate? @furfreela
What an inspiration Miley is to her fans all around the world! Keep up the good fight little lady!!!
My Hollywood Hero!
I love Miley! She's good singer, actress, etc. It's too bad people don't seem to understand that she can't be a Disney star forever, and she lost a lot of fans when she "grew up" I love her, she's my idol! She's beautiful! Pigs are sooo cute btw(: <3
You rock Miley,,,Happy Birthday and God Bless you for supporting animals….
Way to go Miley! You have a fabulous heart that is such a great example to us all. Thanks for caring.
Awwwww. 🙂 It makes me so happy to see really popular celebrities have compassion for animals.
c'est chouette des centaines d'animaux vont avoir une vie dessente, mais juste une remarque serait il possible de savoir si sa couleur de cheveux ou son maquillage est aussi respectueux pour les animaux ? sinon, une jolie femme comme elle ne pourrait elle pas faire le pari de se montrer au naturel ou tout simplement afficher ses marques de cosmétique non tester sur les animaux qu'elle utilise ?

Do you as an attorney and dealing with the community, do you recall any stories that sort of exemplify what you're talking about?
Absolutely, let me, let me give you a horror story. I represented a Black policeman, who was an undercover officer, who was making a phone call one night at a hotel, right on Biscayne Boulevard in plain clothes. Two cops walked up to him and said, "Boy, what are you doing?" He said, "Listen, I'm about to make a drug buy. I'm an undercover officer with the City of Miami Police Department. If you don't believe me, go look in my car. Look up under the seat and there's my badge or you can call Major Bronner, he'll verify." They said, "We'll verify something." They put him in it, in their car. This is a fellow policeman. Put him in the car. Took him to a warehouse area, beat him half to death and then one of the, then they called their sergeant. Then they discovered the guy really is a fellow policeman. They then said to themselves, "What do we do with him now?" Took him to the hospital. Didn't let his family see him for two days. Wife doesn't know where here husband is. Big cover up. That's against a fellow policeman. There are untold stories of people I've represented and other lawyers have represented, where one policeman, a young kid was running away, the policemen caught him, grabbed him down from a fence, kicked him, eye gone. There are thousands and thousands of stories like that.

Inhale the atmosphere entirely. Take it deep. Condensed synthetic words we speak. Another thief from necessity. The end will justify the means in their eyes. Claiming a life that finds beauty in peril. Force fed ideals designed to wage wars. The blood of the slaves turns putrid ground sterile. The end will justify the means in their eyes. Elitist and dormant eyes. A rope knit from tears in its solid state bore the mistress around her neck. We all salivate instinctively, the air reeks of starvation. Every breath a struggle we're slaying for crumbs. We won't let you out of focus as locusts, they block out the sun. A plague migrating southbound parallel to the scum.
Father where are you? Are you listening? Take us in, we're your children. Despite of what I said before, I'm here starved and barefoot before your door. I hear no answer.
Elitist eyes must see beauty in peril.

He'll be making references to Quidditch next
Using the term 'twenty thousand quid' in an attempt to be the people's champion.
Ed Balls, right down-to earth geezer who just happened to go to a private school, Oxford and then Harvard.
Gawd blimey, Ed, me ol' China. Seen Mary Poppins lately?
He'll be making references to Quidditch next
Oops, he only got 32 seconds of his speak yesterday and disaster stuck.
The national deficit is not raising. He did not mean not.
Hes not Mr Balls for nothing.
It's amusing to see one of the worst bullies in parliament whining about everyone shouting at him and that it put him off.. Poor little love with a stutter, my arse.
He missed a bit of an open goal in Parliament yesterday, but then again Osborne did a good job of spinning a shit performance and it's not the easiest job in the world commenting on some fairly complex financial tinkering when you've only had 5 minutes to study it.
Lovely to see so many Tory sycophants are clearly so scared of him they rally round on cue to throw insults
Is it a competition for who can have the dorkiest, most out of touch, overly simplistic fat bully as Chancellor ?
I did think the Tories had this in the bag with Osborne, before about 2009, but since he's been Chancellor, I actually think he's been OK. Not completely marvellous in every possible respect, perhaps, but OK, or more than OK, in more ways than I would have thought possible...
But Labour are walking it at the moment.
Ed Balls is, IMHO, an astonishingly awful, stupid, nasty person. I wouldn't trust him to pass the salt at the dinner table. I had no idea such things were even possible.
The one good thing he does it sleep with Yvette C. It shuts her up for a minute or two and saves one of the rest of us having to experience it (though I am guess that Hunter would be ok about it) ... she has become the bitter and twisted socialist's version of Harriet Harperson
He's got some neck on him,after the shambles he caused .
at least brown has been in hiding since.
He's a cuddly wuddly beary beary boo. End of.

Boston is a mecca of medicine, home to some of the most prestigious hospitals and medical schools, physicians and medical scientists in the world. Since the momentous day in 1846 when William Morton, a local dentist, for the first time publicly demonstrated the use of inhaled ether as a surgical anesthetic in Masachusetts General Hospital's now-famous Ether Dome, the city has seen many medical firsts, including the first fertilization of an ovum in a test tube and the first successful human-organ transplant. Today, it ranks as a preeminent center for healthcare and research.
Massachusetts General Hospital moved into the No. 1 spot on the 2012-13 U.S. News & World Report rankings of best hospitals in America last week, the first time in the 23-year history of the survey that the institution has received the distinction. Nine of Harvard Medical School's 16 affiliates were recognized for excellence in this year's U.S. News surveys, including Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Joslin Diabetes Center, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Mass General, McLean Hospital and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital.
The Harvard NeuroDiscovery Center (www.neurodiscovery.harvard.edu) is pleased to announce the 3rd year of a major funding opportunity for collaborative basic neuroscience research across the Harvard and MIT communities. Up to 5 $200,000 grants ($100,000 per year for 2 years) may be awarded each year.
The deadline for this year's application is September 1, 2012.
Please refer to the attached documents for more specific details.

"Bulletproof Monk" essentially contains bits and pieces of other movies and isn't original at all.
It tells the story of a nameless monk (Chow Yun-Fat) who is given the sacred duty of protecting the Scroll of the Ultimate. When read aloud, the Scroll has the power to give the reader god-like qualities. The movie begins in the 1940s, with the monk given the task of protecting the Scroll. In come Nazis who want the Scroll for themselves.
The movie shows the monk appearing to die, but as my father loved to say, "He's the head player. He can't die." We fast forward to the present and meet a pickpocket named Kar (Seann William Scott)—a thief with a heart of gold.
Kar "meets" the monk in a subway, where Kar picks his pocket of the Scroll. The story unfolds from there. There's a lot of kung fu action and pseudo-philosophy. For example, the monk tells Kar that when Kar can explain why hot dogs come 10 to a pack and buns come eight to a pack, then Kar will have enlightenment. If that is the case, Jerry Seinfeld is the Dalai Lama.
Throw in a love interest, the return of the Nazis, lots of chase scenes and a character called Mr. Funktastic who speaks of himself in the third person, and you have Hollywood's version of "Bulletproof Monk."
"Monk" is a comic-book movie, but it is a bad comic-book movie. It pales in comparison to last year's "Spider-Man" or Tim Burton's "Batman." In fact, "Daredevil" looks good compared to it.
Looking at the story, one wonders: Why do the ruling elite who oversee the Scroll of the Ultimate allow the Scroll to exist? Is it not just a bomb waiting to go off? Will there not always be somebody after its powers? Why not just destroy it and save mankind from its possible horrors? We are never told why the Scroll exists in the first place or what would happen if it were simply destroyed.
The only reason for it to exist is to have this movie, which will likely spawn a sequel called "Laserproof Monk: The Enlightenment Strikes Back," or something equally ludicrous. And that means more Seinfeld-like Zen riddles.
I can see it now: When you can explain why Hollywood makes terrible movies with hackneyed clichés for scripts, then you will have perfect enlightenment … and I will not have to review so many bad movies.

Students in Oregon's high school class of 2012 performed better on the reading and math sections of the SAT exam, marking the first upward trend on the college-entrance exams in more than five years.
Scores on the writing section, however, were stagnant.
The average reading score went up 1 point to 521; the average math score went up 2 points to 523; and the writing average fell 1 point to 498.
The modest gains in reading and writing came despite the fact that more students took the exam. More than 18,800 students in the class, or 57 percent of them, took the exam, compared with 56 percent of Oregon's class of 2011.
Students who attended private high schools were much more likely than their public school counterparts to take the SAT and to score high.
Among public high school graduates, 51 percent took the exam. They averaged 518 in reading, 521 in math and 494 in writing. That represented a gain of 2 points in reading, 1 point in math and none in writing.
Oregon schools chief Rob Saxton called the results "promising." He said students who take more challenging classes in high school do better on the exam and better in college, and he said more students are taking those harder classes.
But he said the trend needs to continue and accelerate if Oregon is to reach its goal of having 80 percent of young people earn some type of college credential by 2025.
Forty-three percent of SAT-takers reported that they took at least one honors class or an Advanced Placement class. Those students averaged 125 points higher on the SAT than the class as a whole.
But there was a stark pattern in which students reported they had taken those challenging courses. Sixty-two percent of female test-takers said they had, but only 38 percent of male test-takers.

Pistons' rookie Arron Afflalo has seen spotty playing time at best this season, but he's content to sit on the sidelines and learn as long as the team continues to win.
January 20, HoopsWorld:Coming from a team that went to the Final Four twice, how nice has it been to come to the NBA in a winning situation? Can you imagine being a lottery pick and playing for a team that struggles? "Yeah, exactly. That's what I was saying, to come to the Pistons organization, one that's all about winning. I put more value in that system than being on the floor more but losing." ... What are your goals for the rest of your rookie year? What are you hoping to accomplish with this group this season? "I just want to win a championship. When you're blessed to be around so many veteran guys in their later years, you've got to take full advantage of that. I'm going to do whatever it takes to get out there, earn their trust, and try and help win."

A Dearborn Heights airplane cleaner was arrested while trying to "fly the friendly skies" with a young woman.
October 3, 2008: Associated Press: A 22-year-old airplane cleaner from Dearborn Heights was arrested Monday for bringing his girlfriend aboard a Northwest Airlines plane just after midnight without authorization.
An airport spokesman says the man apparently was trying to impress the 18-year-old woman.
The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press report the couple was caught on camera and arrested for breaching security.
Unfortunately this slow ride ended up a no go.
