1. Everpurse: A handbag that charges your phone
Nothing kills a productive day like a dead cell phone battery. Lucky for us, that's what inspired frustrated social worker Liz Salcedo to create Everpurse. The inventive solution allows you to charge your mobile device simply by placing it inside your handbag.
Salcedo and her husband/business partner designed a bag with a built-in pocket that automatically connects to the charger via gravity. Using the same wireless technology as some Nokia products, each bag is equipped with a receiver and battery inside its lining, pulling off a crafty nontechnical look.
The couple took their prototype to the crowd funding website Kickstarter.com, where they found more than 900 backers and raised over $150,000 in support of their project. The future of wireless charging not only looks promising, but stylish as well!
2. Facedeals: Reading your face to give you better deals
When you hear the words "facial recognition technology," do they creep you out? A Tennessee-based ad agency called Redpepperland thinks that using the technology to give shoppers customized in-store deals may get them past their apprehension.
The concept, called "Facedeals," is an automated check-in system that uses passive facial recognition to send customized in-store deals right to your smart phone. Here's how it works: A Facedeals camera installed at a store entrance scans and recognizes your face as you walk in the door. Don't worry if you don't like the idea -- you have to opt in to participate by creating an account through their Facebook profile.
Once you're checked in, the types of deals you are offered depends on your history of Facebook likes. Although the project is not yet directly affiliated with Facebook, the idea is to get businesses to realize that Facebook check-ins are a powerful tool to provide discounts to loyal customers.
Another inventive use of facial recognition comes from a new service called Plum Perfect, which offers makeup palette suggestions based on a photo of your face.

50 Years of National Small Business Week
by Karen Mills, Former SBA Administrator
- Created: June 14, 2013, 10:13 pm
- Updated: June 17, 2013, 10:16 am
This year marks the 50th anniversary of National Small Business Week. Although things have certainly changed since President Kennedy signed the first Presidential Proclamation in 1963, one thing that hasn't changed is America's entrepreneurial spirit and the important role that small business owners play in our economy and our communities.
This week, President Obama has continued America's tradition of honoring the spirit and success of American small business owners by proclaiming June 17 - 21 to be 2013's National Small Business Week. Small businesses have always been the backbone of our economy, and we know that the success of America's small businesses is critical to growing our economy and increasing our nation's global competitiveness.
Small businesses create two out of three net new private sector jobs in our economy. And today, half of all working Americans either own or work for a small business. Over the past five years, the Obama Administration has worked to rebuild the economy and ensure that small businesses are able to do what they do best: grow and create jobs.
This year, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has revamped and redesigned our efforts to bring more tools, tips and resources to America's 28 million small businesses, in conjunction with Administration-wide efforts to make government smarter, more responsive and more streamlined. And throughout National Small Business Week, we'll be focused on workshops, hands-on assistance, matchmaking and mentoring for small business owners in the following cities:
- June 17 - Seattle, Wa.
- June 18 - Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas
- June 19 - St. Louis, Mo.
- June 20 - Pittsburgh, Pa.
- June 21 - Washington, D.C.
Throughout the week, we'll be joined by entrepreneurs and experts including Jack Dorsey (Square and Twitter co-founder), Angie Hicks (founder of Angie's List), David Steward (founder and chairman of Worldwide Technologies) and Fran Tarkenton (former NFL quarterback and entrepreneur).
If you don't live in these cities, you can tune into our events via live stream at www.sba.gov/smallbusinessweek, and by joining our daily Google + Hangouts with additional business and social media experts. During National Small Business Week, we also encourage you to visit your favorite local small business and tell us about it on Twitter with the official hashtag #SBW2013.
In Washington, D.C., we'll finish the week by honoring outstanding entrepreneurs from every state and U.S. territory and announcing our 2013 National Small Business Person of the Year. This year's winners represent the incredible diversity of small businesses; from technological start-ups and health care providers, to a helicopter pilot training school and an organic vegetable farm. And they are all inspiring examples of the drive and creativity that makes America's small businesses the true engine of our economy.
For generations, Americans have pursued the dream of owning their own small business. During National Small Business Week, we recognize the critical role that these small businesses play in America's economic growth and global competitiveness.

Reverse Mortgages
1. 11 proxy securities for each reverse mortgage program are created.
2. A 10% conditional payment rate is used to create the zero-coupon securities that will mature in every year of the stress test. The zero-coupon securities are a laddered series of floating-rate coupon-bearing accreting bonds with a first payment date at maturity.
3. The 11th zero-coupon security will mature three months after the stress test to reflect the 35% of UPB not paid down during the stress period.
4. An OFHEO credit rating equivalent to AAA for the FHA insured programs and AA for other reverse mortgage programs is assigned.

Can someone post Ms. Marvel's sales???
Because I thought it was doing pretty well. Maybe a new creative team is being brought on? It might be the right decision for Marvel to relaunch the book.
But it'd be great if we could see some data. Sadly, I'm so used to my favorite books being discontinued. But I thought this was selling well enough. Guess not.

The Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) dedicates its mission to promoting the development of products that demonstrate promise for the diagnosis and/or treatment of rare diseases or conditions. In fulfilling that task, OOPD interacts with the medical and research communities, professional organizations, academia, governmental agencies, and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as rare disease groups.
Prior to passage of historic legislation, private industry had little incentive to invest money in the development of treatments for small patient populations, because the drugs were expected to be unprofitable. For these drugs, intended for diseases or conditions affecting 200,000 or fewer persons in the United States, there is no reasonable expectation that costs of research and development can be recovered by sales of the drug in the United States, leaving no one to pursue development for rare disorders.
The Orphan Drug Act (ODA) of January 1983, passed in the United States with lobbying from the National Organization for Rare Disorders, (of which the IPPF is a member), is meant to encourage pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs for diseases that have a small market (http://tinyurl.com/q58-fda).
Since the market for any drug with such a limited application scope would, by definition, be small and thus largely unprofitable, government intervention is often required to motivate a manufacturer to address the need for an orphan drug. Critics of free market enterprise often cite this as a failure of free markets. Free market advocates often respond that without government-mandated minimum safety and efficacy requirements, drug development costs would be considerably lower. Under the law, companies that develop such an "orphan" drug (a drug for a disorder affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States) may sell it without competition for seven years.
The law provides three incentives:
(1) 7-year exclusive marketing rights, (which limits competition by preventing other companies from marketing the same version of the drug),
(2) a tax credit of 50 percent of the cost of conducting human clinical trials, and
(3) Federal research grants for clinical testing of new therapies to treat and/or diagnose rare diseases.
In 1997, Congress created an additional incentive when it granted companies developing orphan products an exemption from the usual drug application fees charged by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — these fees will total almost $500,000. Companies also may be eligible for faster review of their applications for marketing approval if their products treat a life-threatening illness. Many orphan drugs treat a serious or life-threatening disease.
Orphan drugs generally follow the same regulatory development path as any other pharmaceutical product, in which testing focuses on stability, safety and efficacy. However, some statistical burdens are lessened in an effort to maintain development momentum. For example, orphan drug regulations generally acknowledge the fact that it may not be possible to test 1,000 patients in a phase III clinical trial, (as is required for other drugs) as fewer than that number may be afflicted with the disease in question.
In the USA, from January 1983 to June 2004, a total of 1,129 different orphan drug designations have been granted by the OOPD and 249 orphan drugs have received marketing authorization. In contrast, the decade prior to 1983 saw fewer than ten such products come to market. Nevertheless, some critics have questioned allowing some pharmaceutical companies to make a large profit off of drugs that have a small market but still sell for a high price.
A new question has arisen now over the drugs that we now call "biologics". A biologic is a medicinal product that is made from a living organism or its products — including blood and blood components, allergenics,somatic cells, gene therapy, tissues,and recombinant therapeutic proteins created by biological processes (as opposed to chemically). Biological drugs include antibodies, interleukins, and vaccines. Biologics can be composed of sugars, proteins, or nucleic acids or complex combinations of these substances, or may be living entities such as cells and tissues. Biologics are isolated from a variety of natural sources – human, animal, or microorganism – and may be produced by biotechnology methods and other technologies.
Unlike the more common traditional "small-molecule" drugs, biologics generally exhibit high molecular complexity, and may be quite sensitive to manufacturing process changes. Original patent-owner manufacturers have a molecular clone and original cell bank, and specific fermention and purification processes. Finally, nearly undetectable differences from individuals in impurities and/or breakdown products are known to have serious health implications. This has created a concern that generic versions of biologics might perform differently than the original branded version of the drug.
So, unlike most drugs, generic versions of biologics are not authorized in the US or the European Union under the same benefits applied to other drugs for orphan illnesses. This could wreak havoc as biologics are particularly expensive to develop but are relevant to orphan diseses such as P/P — treatments like IVIg, etanercept/Enbrel or infliximab/Remicade.
Because they are hard to copy exactly, biologics have not been subject to the generic competition that eventually knocks down the price of drugs like Lipitor and Prozac. Congress, as a cost-cutting piece of the overall health care effort, is preparing legislation to enable the US FDA to approve copycat versions
of biologic drugs. That could save consumers, insurers and the government billions of dollars in the coming years. The trick is to allow competition without undermining the financial incentives the pharmaceutical industry needs to undertake the risky job of developing the next drugs for cancer and other diseases.
Pharmaceutical trade groups say they require a 12-14 year exclusivity period in order to recoup their investments, but consumer groups, insurers, employers and generic drug companies say anything more than five year would eviscerate any potential savings from the new competition. So far, the biotechnology industry appears to be winning. The Unted State Senate's health committee, for example, has agreed to 12 years of exclusivity. In the House, a bill that provides at least 12 years of exclusivity has many more co-sponsors than one that would provide five years.
The Obama administration has said that seven years would be a 'generous compromise! But an exclusivity period could affect biologics that have already been on the market for over a decade. As for cost savings, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that generic biologics might save the government only about $10 billion in the next 10 years, but the real savings might come more than 10 years out, as new biologic drugs appeared and as biologics represented an increasingly greater part of overall spending on drugs.
Keep your eye on this evolving dilemma.

Dallas area dentist Dr. Sowell screens for oral cancer at routine visits. | Plano, TX
Dallas area dentist Dr. Mark Sowell performs oral cancer screening as part of a routine dental visit. Oral cancer screening can often be a life saver: patients who are diagnosed in the early stages of this disease have a much greater chance of survival. Routine preventive care with Dr. Sowell can enable him to notice abnormal tissue or changes within the oral cavity that may be an indicator of disease. Dr. Sowell uses cutting edge dental technology, including digital x-rays, which can aid in the detection of early stage oral cancer as well as other dental health issues.
Oral cancer rates have been on the rise globally, largely due to the HPV virus, a common cause of oral cancer and a growing health issue in today's world. Oral cancer can be difficult to diagnose early- without the aid of regular screening during a dental exam- because it rarely causes noticeable symptoms in the early stages of the disease.
Do you know the common symptoms of oral cancer?
Symptoms of oral cancer can include:
- Persistent hoarseness
- Pain or difficulty swallowing
- Lump in the throat or neck
- Persistent earache- often in both ears
- Numbness in or around the mouth
- Lesion or sore that does not go away
Visiting Dr. Sowell twice per year in his Plano dentist office is more important than ever! It not only supports long term dental health, but is an important part of overall health and well being. In addition to the benefit of an oral cancer screening, preventive dental care can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes- all of these health issues have been shown to have connections to oral health.

The state is the organising principle of national and international politics and states are the subject of abundant historical research, academic theory and contemporary analysis. That perhaps makes it a little strange to say that both the state as a category and states in general tend to be taken for granted. But that's how it is – and it's a problem. Continue reading

In the wake of September 11, insurance conference planners say they are determined to proceed as normal—or whatever passes for normal in these troubled times—and to set a personal example. "If we aren't brave enough to travel and we don't promote traveling within our organization, then we might as well close shop," says Sally Klapper-Randa, director of field recognition and corporate travel, Aid Association for Lutherans, Appleton, Wis.
Klapper-Randa was quoted in her association newsletter about her positive reactions to a trip she took in late September. To reassure producers who qualify for AAL's 2002 incentive program, a cruise leaving from San Juan, she will be putting together mailings with information on security measures—and also with a personal report by Lynn Schwandt, field conference manager, on a site selection trip that Schwandt will take prior to the February program. "Hearing about Lynn's experience will help qualifiers to feel comfortable about their own travel," notes Klapper-Randa.
Be Prepared
Brett Barrowman, director travel, conferences, and corporate event planning, American Fidelity Group, Oklahoma City (and the 2002 president of the Insurance Conference Planners Association), notes that "people still have to be motivated to sell and still have to be educated. Where and how they get together to do that may be a whole different thing." Barrowman's department plans six major incentive trips and is involved in 70 to 100 smaller meetings annually; he doesn't expect that to change based on the events of 9/11. But he does foresee extra contingency planning by his department to make sure attendees can get home if the airports close again and they are stranded in meeting locations. "We'll need a higher level of preparedness," he advises.
International Meetings a Go
What does the future hold for international meetings post 9/11? "It's a hard call," Jana Stern, director, conventions and conference planning, ING Reliastar, Minneapolis, told ICP in early October. "None of us really know what to do."
Stern had four waves of international incentive trips scheduled for late September to early October: the top 20 producers were slated to go to ING's world headquarters in Amsterdam; 100 "top ring" producers and their spouses were to visit Rome; 200 additional qualifiers were bound for Paris; and 50 of those on the Paris trip were to go on to Amsterdam.
Qualifiers began calling on Sept. 12 wondering about the status of the trips. Some agents definitely wanted to travel, others indicated they would opt out. The decision to cancel was made Sept. 17, the week the airline tickets would have been mailed. Three of the trips have been rescheduled to Florida destinations, and the top 20 Amsterdam trip will be held at an undetermined time in the future.
Long term, however, Stern isn't canceling international travel. Two spring 2002 incentive trips to Mexico and Barcelona are still scheduled, she says, and future decisions on whether to travel overseas will be looked at on an ongoing basis.
Similarly, Rich Granger, assistant vice president, conference and travel services, Allmerica Financial, Worcester, Mass., says that after much deliberation, Allmerica would be going forward with its 2002 London incentive program. "We want to be cautious, but to not go forward would be giving in and letting the terrorists win, and we don't want to do that."
Granger expects that, as during the Gulf War, some meetings may move to domestic locations. "I can't predict what will happen three or six months from now," he says. "As planners, we have to be concerned about where we go and when we go, especially in war time." But, he points out, "Once you've gone international, there is always that sizzle that calls you back."

February 2013, TruckingInfo.com - WebXclusive
by Greg Smith, Talbert Manufacturing
Long before a single load is booked or any wheels turn, someone – usually a fleet manager – needs to determine exactly what is going to separate the road and the load.
There's a lot riding on this decision because, as much as some would like to think otherwise, a trailer is never just a trailer. It can be manufactured to many different specifications, with multiple raw material options, dozens of load and geographical considerations, various top speed requirements and hundreds of possible axle configurations coming into play. And it all comes down to one objective – the ideal trailer for an operation's specific loads.
To select the right trailer, the one that will require the least amount of maintenance, provide the greatest lifespan and deliver the highest possible return on investment, it is vital to understand the most important factor of all – capacity.
A trailer's safety rating also comes into play when discussing capacity. Without understanding the safety rating, it's difficult for a carrier to get a clear, comprehensive picture of true capacity.
A safety rating is an indicator of how much stress a trailer can safely handle. It encompasses the strength of the raw materials and components that a manufacturer has put into the trailer's design and construction, how the beams and cross members are configured and so on.
A widely accepted average magnification of payload weight on a trailer due to road dynamics is 1.8 to 1 ratio. When a driver is rolling down the road, the truck is hitting chuckholes, bouncing over bumps and crossing railroad tracks along the way.
On average, the stress placed on a 50-ton-rated trailer by a 50-ton load when the rig hits those bumps, chucks and tracks equals 1.8 times 50 tons, or 90 tons.
It's important to keep in mind that the 1.8 multiplier is only an average. On any given haul, the stress placed on the trailer can go above that level multiple times. If no cushion is built in to the trailer to handle those spikes in stress, there will be more potential for long-term, progressive structural damage.
Since there is no universally prescribed level for safety ratings, they vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. They range from a safety factor of 1.8 to 1, which allows for no margin, to an industry high of 2.5 to 1, which is considered an ample cushion for even the most extreme road dynamics a trailer might encounter.
Not only does the safety rating tell a carrier how strong his trailer is, it's also a very good indicator of potential life. The greater the difference between the static design safety factor, be it 2.5 to 1, 2 to 1 or some other factor, and the dynamic 1.8 average multiplier, the longer one can expect a trailer's useful life expectancy to be.
Most trailer manufacturers do not like to advertise safety ratings, often for good reason. To understand why, it's helpful first to comprehend what a safety rating is not. A safety rating should never be used to determine how much weight can be added over the capacity rating and still keep the load, the driver and other drivers safe. In other words, a 2.5 to 1 safety rating on a 50-ton lowbed should not be used to justify loading a trailer with 125 tons of cargo. Just as the deck rating indicates, that trailer can safely handle a 50-ton payload under dynamic conditions.
Safety factors are strongly related to the quality of the components incorporated into the trailer, and that gets down to the nitty-gritty of the steel and the deck material.
Manufacturers have several options when choosing steel. For the most capacity and smallest impact on the trailer weight, some manufacturers use a T1 material with 100,000 psi minimum yield. T1 not only has maximum strength versus ductility, but also equates to a lighter, stronger trailer frame over other materials.
A trailer's decking is continually exposed to the elements, making durable decking with a long wear life also crucial. Apitong decking provides a tougher, longer lasting wood in comparison to other varieties, such as oak or pine. Tightly woven and incredibly dense, apitong is less susceptible to chipping and cracking and provides some amount of traction in comparison to a smooth metal surface.
Sometimes trailer owners or operators don't completely understand the capacity rating and mistakenly put more weight on the trailer than it is built to handle, or more weight in a concentrated area than it can handle.
Overloading a trailer once is not likely to make it break. Overloading it twice probably won't either. But do it consistently over time and eventually it will likely fail.
When a trailer breaks, the manufacturer hears about it. But often the complaint will be that a 50-ton trailer broke when it was hauling less than a full payload. For example, a 50-ton trailer might break when it's only hauling a 40-ton payload. The reason is not in that 40-ton load, but the number of times the trailer previously was overloaded and by how much each overload exceeded the yield strength of the trailer's load-bearing beams and cross members.
Yield strength refers to the amount of stress that the steel can withstand and still return to its original shape when unloaded. The first time a trailer is overloaded, the steel will return to something close to the shape it was in when it came off of the manufacturing line, but not exactly to that original shape. Each time it's overloaded, the steel will return to something less than the shape it was in the time before. Eventually, the steel, and therefore the trailer, will break.
So in our example, even though the trailer only carried a 40-ton payload, it is likely that it had been overloaded to some extent at one or more points in its past. That's when the damage was done, and that is what ultimately caused the failure. The steel got weaker and weaker and, on the day the trailer failed, it happened to be rolling with 40 tons on the deck.
It can be tempting to look at a trailer's capacity rating and stop there. But for a true sense of how much a trailer can handle and how it will hold up under the stresses of a specific operation, with its individualized loads, geographies, weights and other variables, fleet managers need to consider everything that goes into that rating.
Purchasing the right trailers for updating a fleet can be complicated and, clearly, the decision is an important one. But there is help available. Many manufacturers have sales people who know capacity from top to bottom and can help fleet managers select exactly the right trailer with the optimal combination of load concentration, load distribution, speed and safety rating for specific applications and load types.
And having that knowledge about each specification will help ensure an investment that leads to a long, smooth ride.

This fixture looks beautiful over my dark walnut table. The light casts a beautiful pattern on the ceiling and it's evenly lit around the table. It uses 4-candelabra bulbs at 60W so it's not too powerful for lighting, but I don't like a bright, beaming table anyway. My husband installed the fixture and had no problems. We replaced an ex fixture so the backbox was already in place...he didn't use alot of parts that were provided in the kit. Just had to connet some wires. My only problem (and I'm hoping to fix it, but haven't had time to really look into it). But currently, the metal mesh frame is not perfectly level with the linen barrel drum. If you stand on one side of my table, you can see they're not parallel. The metal should be floating appx 1" up from the linen drum, but it looks crooked around one side. I think I just have to play with the connections a bit. But overall...a dynamite statement from my original brushed nickel Home Depot fixture. It really classes up the space!!
I ordered this light for my living room to replace an ugly builder brass ceiling fan. I love it. It's a very nice, high end look--especially for the price. My only criticism is that the description says it is a three light fixture but it is really a four light fixture. It was pretty clear from the photo it was four, but the description needs to be changed.
Easy to install and great quality. Love this fixture!
I love my light- it is just the balance between country and modern that I was looking for.
Looks great in our dining room. Be careful when hanging, don't thread the cord too tight through the chain or shades may not hang even. We saw a similar light that we really liked for over $500 but we didn't want to spend that kind of money. This is a very good and affordable substitute.
Received item quickly, as usual, from Overstocks. Value compared to retail almost 100% less than it would have cost me at a local store. Absolutely true to pictures and a great value.
I was really excited to receive this light, but when I did, it was a HUGE disappointment. This light is more of a antique brass/gold color and definitely not bronze. It looks really cheap! The style of the lamp is great, but the color is so off, it's sad. I'm so fed up with purchasing from Overstock. The descriptions are frequently wrong and I'm done wasting my money with this company.
The chandelier is exactly as shows. Note the measurements b/c it's a little small for a dining room (unless your dining room is small like mine.) My brother hung it for me and it was a bit of a pain, mostly because the directions are unnecessarily complicated. It took some tweaking to get it level. I really like the look - it' s kind of industrial but not too cold.
I've had this gorgeous light up for about 3 weeks now and can not get enough. Makes me smile every time I walk into the dining room! Love the finish, the "scratchiness" of the oil rubbed bronze is perfect. Looks so unique and pretty, cozy and simple. Love the light pattern that comes from it and since the lights are pointing up, you can hang it a little lower and it looks amazing. Gorgeous!
I am never unhappy with the products from Overstock. I was so pleased with this chandelier. We painted our dining room a Federal Blue color and needed something a bit formal, but modern. This light was perfect. We even managed to install it without clawing each others eyes out. I have to admit we had to take it down twice because we didnt read the instructions on putting the lght together and got the components out of order. But it with stood our bubbling and it looks beautiful. Everyone always admires it. The shade was perfect too.

Anyone who grew up watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood – that is, almost everyone under the age of 50 or so – probably feels like they know Fred Rogers. As the gentle, friendly host of one of television's longest-running children's programs, Rogers taught, sang to, and counseled generations of kids. His frequent, reassuring presence in their lives elevated him to the status of a beloved uncle or grandfather. Many of those viewers already know that Rogers was an ordained Presbyterian minister, or that he wrote all the songs he sang on his TV show.
But even those who gazed lovingly at their TV screen whenever Rogers was on it may not know everything about the PBS icon. In honor of what would have been Fred Rogers' 83rd birthday – and to mark 8 years since his 2003 death – we bring you eight facts about Mister Rogers.
1. He got into television because he was appalled by the first TV program he ever saw. When his parents first got a TV and Rogers sat in front of it for the first time, he was treated to the then-popular shtick of people throwing pies at each other. Unimpressed, he decided he wanted to transform television from mindless entertainment into a nurturing and educational tool.
2. Many of his famous sweaters were knitted by his mother, Nancy. Over the course of his television career, he wore dozens of sweaters, and until her death, his mother knitted all of them. She gave sweaters as yearly Christmas gifts, and she knew he loved the zip-up cardigan style: "She would say, 'What kind do you all want next year?'" Rogers once reflected. "She said, 'I know what kind you want, Freddy. You want the one with the zipper up the front.'" Today, one of Nancy's handcrafted sweaters is displayed in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History (along with Seinfeld's puffy shirt and the Lone Ranger's mask).
3. Contrary to popular rumor, Fred Rogers was not a Navy Seal, and his arms weren't covered with tattoos commemorating his kills. Urban legend has Mister Rogers and Captain Kangaroo fighting in Vietnam or World War II – often alongside Lee Marvin, who really did serve. But no matter how adamant believers may be, it's just not true, as confirmed by urban legend debunkers Snopes.com. Rogers never served in the military, and his bare arms have been shown on TV at least once, revealing no tattoos.
4. Mister Rogers was – maybe predictably – notable for his clean living. He neither drank nor smoked, he kept a vegetarian diet, and he swam every morning.
5. He had an adopted brother, George, a black teenager who came to live with the Rogers family as a teen when his mother died. George and Fred became close, and when George became an instructor for the Tuskegee Airmen in World War II, he taught Fred how to fly. The Rogers family also adopted a girl, Elaine, who lent her name to Mister Rogers' Neighborhood puppet Lady Elaine Fairchild.
6. Rogers was an early advocate for the VCR. When VCRs became easily obtainable for households in the 1970s, film companies were concerned about legality. Allowing people to record and replay content for free, any time, would violate copyright law, they said – and destroy their profits. Fred Rogers testified before the Supreme Court, stating that as a television personality, he didn't object to people recording his show for later viewing. In fact, he argued, it would be beneficial to his show and its viewers if they could watch at a convenient time for the whole family. Rogers' testimony helped convince the Supreme Court that the VCR should not be outlawed… and the film companies eventually discovered that home video sales actually helped their bottom lines.
7. Lest anyone think that Fred Rogers was a humorless do-gooder, his sense of humor extended to an appreciation of parody – even parodies of his own work. The most notable of these was Eddie Murphy's "Mister Robinson's Neighborhood." Popular on Saturday Night Live in the 1980s, Murphy's Mister Robinson taught children about considerably different subjects than Mister Rogers – eviction, racism, theft. Rather than being offended, Rogers enjoyed the sketch and found it funny and affectionate. In fact, when he once visited the NBC studios, he made a point of stopping by Murphy's dressing room to give the sketch his blessing.
8. Fred Rogers was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the U.S., by President George W. Bush in 2002. In awarding him the honor for his lifetime of work, Bush noted, "Fred Rogers has proven that television can soothe the soul and nurture the spirit and teach the very young."

That's right… For those who don't know, a half marathon is 13.1 miles and guess who ran one!
I made it in 3:25:00 which is not bad for my first half and minimal training :PPP Gives me a good start for training though!
Here are 5 things that I learned about running such great distances!
- Do not each much before running
- Drink the little cups of water they give you at EVERY stop because it will be another mile until you see those watergivers again!
- Read the funny signs and laugh at them
- Just keep pushing through it. You will finish and feel like you will die, but you will finish!
My aunt also ran the half marathon however she finished much quicker than I did!

Dallas >Food & Dining > La Duni Latin Cafe
4620 McKinney Ave, Dallas, TX | Directions 7520532.823158 -96.787308
Tuesday To Thursday From 11:00 AM To 09:30 PM Friday From 11:00 AM To 10:30 PM Saturday From 09:00 AM To 03:00 PM Saturday From 05:00 PM To 10:30 PM Sunday From 09:00 AM To 03:00 PM Sunday From 05:00 PM To 09:30 PM
Neighborhoods: Oak Lawn
Do NOT Valet! – This was our first experience at this La Duni location. We typically frequent the Oak Lawn location, but decided to try the McKinney Avenue location. The first thing we noticed was how small the parking lot was, so we ended up having to valet the car.
The food and service were excellent. Nothing to complain about there.
Once we got our car back from the valet service, we noticed that it had been wrecked. When we confronted La Duni management, they informed us that the valet service was not their responsibility, and that they were not liable for this. We contacted the owner of the valet service, U.S.A. Park and he too informed us that there was nothing he could do about it, because we could not prove "with a video" that it was wrecked in their hands.
We expected that La Duni management would take ownership of this, since they hired this valet service, however they did not. Think twice abefore you valet your car here.
Cuatros Leches Cake should be Cuatros Dias Cake – My friends and I have wanted to try this place for sometime now because of the great reviews that we?ve read, and we finally got around to it. All I can say is that I was unconvinced. First, we paid $9.75 for an alcoholic beverage that was mostly ice. I can say that our service, once we sat down, was good. The meal was mediocre, but the dessert was awful! I am an avid baker, and I have heard so many great comments about the bakery items at La Duni, especially the Cuatros Leches Cake, which we tried. I was sadly disappointed. They should call it the Cuatros Dias Cake because I think the cake sat out for 4 days and then they decided to pour a bunch of sweet milk on it to make up for the dryness and lack of taste. All in all, drink wine or beer because they rip you off with the drinks, and go somewhere else for dessert.
Who writes these reviews? – The main review states that it "ceases to impress". I hope whoever wrote that understands that that is a negative thing to say. Uhh, who writes these reviews anyways?
Horrible Service – My wife and I tried this place out 2 months ago and we were fairly happy with the food and atmosphere, but were somewhat irritated by the service. Our ticket was lost, then we were asked by three waiters who our server was! To be fair, it was Sunday (around 1:00 pm), so we expected a slow meal, but in all of the confusion it ended up taking about 2 hours eat a plate of eggs.
I write this review because we went back again and had a similar experience. We sat down next to a couple that ordered exactly the same items we did and at the same time. Fifteen minutes later, they had their meal, finished it, and had their table cleared when our server finally came to our table (she had not been to our part of the restaurant in over 20 minutes. She said she had lost our ticket and couldn?t remember our order. I was visibly angry, but my wife convinced me to stay. The food is fine, but the service makes dining there a miserable experience.
We will not be returning to La Duni Latin Cafe.,
Great for parties! – I originally planned a wedding shower at another restaurant in Dallas. However, due to a major issue with the afore mentioned place I decided to move our party to La Duni. Their attentive staff helped us plan everything for our afternoon tea party in 1 day!
The chef called us back the same day, and helped my co-host pick out a menu for the guests. On the day of the shower, the table was gorgeous and set up in advance, all we had to do was show up. The staff took care of everything, and they were attentive without being in the way. The shower was so much fun, and the food was delicious. I hope to plan events there in the future!
They take the siesta approach to service – Presentation and food are usually exceptional, my girlfriend who is extremely picky is always pleased with her food. Mine however, is a different story the chilaquiles I ordered were served in a giant soup bowl, and soup for brunch fell well short of expectations , the waitress was either extremely hungover or just apathetic, either way unacceptable, this mirrors the service I have received for the past three times, and this time was my LAST!!!!
Best Restaurant in DFW area period. – I cannot believe what people are typing about "La Duni". This restaurant is not only the best in food but also the best in customer service. The environment is great, the restaurant is spotless, entrees are the best in the metroplex, service is fast and all the staff is very friendly.If you want to try real gourmet latino food this is the best place to go, La Duni is 10 times better that gloria's and alll the "mexican" restaurants in the area together.
Best food anywhere! Worst service at Mckinney! – My family and I have been at both locations for years. Food is excellent without a doubt.
Ambience is wonderful. Service, (at the Oaklawn location), excellent! At the McKinney location it's a whole different story. Our favorite is the Oaklawn location but occasionally we go to McKinney when we are in that area. And I will continue to go, simply because the food is excellent, but the service AND the management at that location is pretty bad. Nine times out of ten, the servers either have an attitude, look upset mad, and are slow. One of the female servers corrected my wife, rudely, for mispronouncing a spanish item on the menu. The last four out of five visits they did not have what we ordered. The last visit which was last evening, what my wife ordered was not available. Did he try to make it up some how, did he even apologize? Did he offer any suggestions? Nope, nothing, just a blank stare even after remembering that we had had the same experience just a month ago. The owners need to pay attention to this problem, we have many friends that are having the same experience.
Bad service – Brunch - Service was rude and food was mediocre.
The servers acted as if we put them out for asking for service and the quality of food did not out way the rudeness..
Go for the weekend brunch – I have been to La Duni several times for brunch and dinner, and would definitely say go for the brunch and find another place for dinner. I didn't find their dinner menu especially wonderful, but the brunch is what La Duni excells at. The ambience is always great and the brunch menu is wonderful. Sometimes the waitstaff can put a person off, but I've found the food to overcome that issue.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Tablet Plus
La Sultana Marrakech
403 rue de la Kasbah, Marrakech, Morocco
Neighborhood: Medina
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
You can only make a riad hotel so big. But if you're stuck for size, you can join them together — La Sultana, for example, combines four traditional Marrakchi courtyard mansions into one contiguous complex, and in so doing creates one of the medina's most complete luxury hotels. In some towns 18 rooms and suites would still fall decidedly on the small side, but here numbers like that make La Sultana one of the biggest players in town.
All that makes for plenty of space to spread out, and the pools, fountains, courtyards and rooftop terraces are seemingly endless. But they didn't skimp on style either — this place is stunningly decorated, ornately detailed, with a definite flair for the dramatic, from crimson-colored bedroom walls to the massive and decadent Romanesque spa.
There's marble everywhere, and the traditional brickwork creates a signature texture. And the service is no less impressive than the physical edifice itself — this is a professional operation, the likes of which is (for better or worse) quite rare in the medina. If you want the illusion of a casual visit with a rich local friend, La Sultana's not where you'll find it. But if the classic virtues of opulence and luxury have any appeal, then this just might be the place.
There is a 3-night minimum stay requirement for all high-season dates at La Sultana Marrakech.
How to get there:
La Sultana Marrakech is approximately a 15 minute drive from Marrakech-Menara Airport. As Marrakech can be a hard place to navigate, we encourage guests to arrange for airport transfers (€35/each way). Please contact email@example.com to arrange airport transfers.

What I liked:
The public spaces, decor, location, and service are excellent.
What the hotel could do better:
We had some pretty horrific problems in our room. Namely, I slept on severely stained sheets for 2 nights (disgusting, really) and we had a horrible smell in our bathroom that over three days progressed to unbearable- we didn't shower the last day because of it. I complained about both during our stay and was not satisfied by the response. It was not until the last day when the bathroom situation became so bad that I asked to speak to a manager. To her credit she did comp 2 nights. However, after check out we received an email that we had left many items behind. Neither myself or my friend were missing anything and when I replied as such I received no answer from the hotel. This really makes me think our room was never serviced before we checked in as the left items were from a previous guest. In short, this hotel is expensive for Morocco and I was shocked by the cleanliness (or lack there of) and bad communication by the hotel. Given the competition, I would stay elsewhere.
