My Exectutive MBA program got some very good news, when BusinessWeek ranked Rutgers Business School EMBA Best in Finance, Strategy.

This is great news for a program that gets overshadowed by the programs to the west and east.

The professors involved with the Fainance & Strategy classes, of which I have personally had classes with Mark and Suresh:

A lot of the credit is due to the director of the program, Farrokh Langdana.

So an article on the Motley Fool was helpful.

Here are the brief instructions to reset a Mini:

1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

I’m not a big fan of the chemical remedies, and avoid them if I can. But I did get ahold of some Chinese herbal medicine that works wonders. Stuff is called Banlangen Keli and did wonders to pump up my energy and give some temp relief. Just add hot water.

Description – Brown granules. Sweet and slightly bitter in taste.

Ingredients – Radix isatidis (Isatis Tinctoria L.). Non-medical ingredients: sugar, dextrin.

Category – Non-prescription cold medicine

Indications – To remove toxic heat, counteract toxic effect, cool the blood, heal swollen and sore throat. Effective on influenza.

Dosage – Take orally. One to two packets each time, 3 to 4 times a day.

So I will either head to Chinatown to find the stuff or maybe get some online from HK for a buck and a half or from the States for 7.
