National Donuts DAY!

Apparently, today is the national Donut's day....and supposedly some Dunkin' Donuts are offering free donuts with the purchace of beverages...

I wonder if they have higher margins of profits for donuts or for the beverages...I guess coffee would be higher in terms of the margin of profits....as donuts requires capital expenditures for mixing the dough, frying and putting glazings on...

I wonder how this approach differs compared to Ben and Jerry's free cone day...they offer one day of free icecream, some time in the Spring...but their offer is not contingent on buying a beverage or something....

let me see how big the two companies are...hmm...I can only get DD having 953 employees in 2005....and Ben and Jerry's is a subsidiary of Unilever!

Day 4...only 27 days remaining

Day 4...only 27 days remaining until I get some results to graduate....the sense of imminence hasn't really hit me yet, but it is slowly creeping into my mind.

So what am I up to right now...

Project with Burwell-->should I even get involved?

Project for fMRI-->shoudl I even get involved..

An interesting article on the newsweek. What role will Japan play in the new Pacific Era...and what role can I play in the new Pacific Era??

The globalization focused mainly on China's rapid development and countries around the area has been widely neglected. Japan does still hold the high GDP and the technological edge over China, but not many economists focus on the development and potentials of Japan. Granted, Japan has been struggling in this bad economy, but is there something that Japan can do? What role should Japan play in Asia, now that Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, etc are starting to gain more economic drive? What role could I play to let the southeast asian countries to work coersively???
