Donnie Arrington said sometimes he feels more like an employee than a neighbor of the Landover Hills Walmart.
"One of the biggest concerns right now is the shopping carts left in the community," said Arrington, 54. "At this point, I just put them in the back of my truck and bring them back to the parking lot."
Other Radiant Valley neighborhood residents said the Walmart, located on Annapolis Road, has been inattentive to their concerns about retrieving carts taken off of the property, as well as other general trash that blows from overflowing trash cans in the store parking lot into the neighborhood.
And with confirmation that Walmart plans to expand the location into a "super Walmart" — complete with full grocery service — residents say they fear the problems will only get worse.
Walmart representatives sent residents a letter March 13 declaring their intent to file an application to expand the store from 144,000 square feet to nearly 180,000 square feet.
Radiant Valley resident said the shopping carts become a safety hazard when left in the community.
"People just leave them in the street," Small said. "And children get a hold of them and play with them. They can get hurt."
Small said that although she understands Walmart is not directly responsible for its customers taking carts, it should still work to keep its property and the community it backs up against clean.
"They have an obligation to keep it decent and clean," Small said. "We tried to get them to put some sort of device on the carts so they won't go out of the parking lot, but they haven't done that."
Walmart spokeswoman Kayla Whaling said the retailer does some cart pickup, including shopping carts that are off-site, but within view of the store and plans to improve cart round-up procedures. She said the company is also exploring installing a wheel lock system at the property.
"We already have designated days where we go out and pick up carts, but we're also looking into getting a third party company to help us with those efforts," Whaling said. "We do have staff cart pushers who help with monitoring the area and picking up shopping carts. If there is one off the property that they see, they'll walk over and push it back."
Whaling said the retailer does yet have a timeline for hiring the cart clean-up company, and she declined to comment about litter issues.
Walmart spokesman Steven Restivo confirmed the planned expansion in an email and said it would be a boon to residents.
"Grocery is something that our local customers have been asking for because they know it's an area where we can really help them save," Restivo wrote. "This expansion will provide residents with a new option for fresh, affordable food close to where they live or work."
Small said she is concerned that the problem will continue to go unaddressed after the proposed expansion.
"My thing is, if they can't control what they have, how are they going to manage dealing with more?" Small said. "It will be worse."

Researchers at MIT have found a significant way to improve solar-cell efficiency, utilizing the aid of tiny genetically modified viruses to perform assembly work at the microscopic level.
It may sound like a bad sci-fi story, but these viral improvements have allowed the effective use of nanotubes in solar power technology.
Previous research involving nanotubes and solar efficiency ran into two problems. The first issue was that the making of carbon nanotubes generally produces a mix of two types, some of which act as semiconductors (sometimes allowing an electric current to flow, sometimes not) or metals (which act like wires, allowing current to flow easily).
The new research, for the first time, shows that the effects of these two types tend to be different, because the semiconducting nanotubes can enhance the performance of solar cells, but the metallic ones have the opposite effect.
The second issue was that nanotubes tend to clump together – reducing their effectiveness.
And that's where the strange solution of the virus comes in. Graduate students Xiangnan Dang and Hyunjung Yi — working with Angela Belcher, the W. M. Keck Professor of Energy, and several other researchers — found that a genetically engineered version of a virus called M13, which normally infects bacteria, can be used to control the arrangement of the nanotubes on a surface, keeping the tubes separate so they can't short out the circuits, and keeping the tubes apart so they don't clump.
The system the researchers tested used a type of solar cell known as dye-sensitized solar cells, a lightweight and inexpensive type where the active layer is composed of titanium dioxide, rather than the silicon used in conventional solar cells.
The same technique could be applied to other types as well, including quantum-dot and organic solar cells. In tests, adding the virus-built structures enhanced the power conversion efficiency to 10.6 percent from 8 percent — almost a one-third improvement.
This substantial improvement takes place even though the viruses and the nanotubes make up only 0.1 percent by weight of the finished cell.
This process adds only a single, simple step to standard solar-cell manufacturing processes, and should be ready to implement rapidly. Will a virus pave the way for solar-cell efficiency?

Brad Biggs is the Chicago Bears/NFL columnist. He has covered the Bears and the NFL since 2001. Before joining the Tribune in 2009, Biggs covered the Bears for the Sun-Times.
Less than 48 hours before the Chicago Bears will report to training camp in Bourbonnais, the team filled out its 90-man roster.
The NFC North still is looking up at the Packers, as has been the case for much of the Aaron Rodgers-Brett Favre era.
Update: Jermaine Gresham signed a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals Friday night.
There is plenty to discover about the Bears as they prepare to embark on their 14th summer training camp at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais.
Training camps can't get going fast enough for the NFL to turn attention to action on the field and away from disciplinary issues that have dogged it for the past year.
The crunching noise of shoulder pads colliding is not far off with the first training camp practice two weeks away and that has rekindled the question: What are the Bears going to be like?
As good a coach as Dick Stanfel was teaching offensive line play — and former Bears pupils give him the highest credit — he was probably a greater player as a standout in the 1950s.

Can Selling be Taught Online?
Selling is not only an art but also a science. Let's examine if selling can be effectively taught in a class room. Well, traditionally selling was taught on the job. A new sales executive followed a senior sales person on a few calls and then went on to be on his own. In his book "Life Insurance Company Sales Training Programs" H P Gravengaard says that scientific selling methods were perhaps first started by subscription book companies and that they are the pioneers in terms of organizing training for their sales staff. Subsequently, modern organizations started giving importance to the training of sales personnel reinforcing specific skills that are important for their domain.
Selling is best learnt through experiential learning which involves 'learning by doing'. In learning on the job, a senior sales person is assigned to juniors to provide guidance or feedback. Training is effective in a classroom environment, when sales situations are simulated and learners get to enact the role of a sales person and that of a buyer while the instructor provides the feedback about the best method to be adopted in a given situation. Training is not likely to be effective if the participants are given a lecture through PowerPoint slides for 2-3 days. Role plays, situation analysis and case studies have to be part of the program. However, it is not always possible to incorporate all of the above in an ILT program.
This is where online training and resources prove to be handy. Animations, video enactments or simulations are components of an online training program that can be effectively used in sales training. Consider the following situation. A sales person is about to make a sales pitch. He has forgotten his reference material which gives key data about his product and his competitor's product. Would it not be handy if he had access to a resource where he could simply download the same to his iPad or smartphone? In another situation, imagine a sales person who is disillusioned with himself and needs a mentor to pep him up and instill confidence or provide guidance. Would it not be ideal to have an online mentor available, say through the company intranet, who provides guidelines?. Imagine how much more it would add value to the sales person, if he is provided with bite-sized modules giving sales tips or selling ideas to sales personnel.
I think technology can play an important role in providing training to sales personnel. It can be innovatively and creatively used for the benefit of sales staff who are typically action-oriented and detest being confined to a typical classroom type setting.

Comments 2 thoughts on "Can Selling be Taught Online?"
I was responsible for sales training in a multinational many years ago where we used live training and american videos too! I felt that sales training needed to come alive but using video. So I developed a duals screen role play which ran off a laser disc.
This was very successful and when I left the company I produced a more generic and tecnically more advanced version featuring a business to business sales call. It took me a year and some £20,000 to do this but the technology was too expensive.
Things have moved on and I am now able to produce this material for software driven dual screen operation. The Trainier selects the clips and the trainee must immediately reply. This can be quite stressful! The programme can also be used single screen for desktop coaching.
I am doing other things now, but this unique programme is still available at a very low price.
Thanks Jeremy for sharing the creative means with which you had conducted training sessions when technology was still at its infancy. What is the software that you use today to develop the dual screen operation? Am quite curious to know.
3 Tips to Engage Learners in an E-learning Course
As instructional designers, we always aim to design courses that reach the target audience effectively. We would never want to hear our learners say that the course was boring. We put all our efforts to make the course interesting and engaging.
But, it is essential that these efforts are put in a right way. Engaging the learner doesn't mean just including interactivities. It is much more than having a few clicks of interactivities.
20 Must Know Acronyms of E-learning – Part 2
In my last blog, 20 Must Know Acronyms of E-learning – Part 1, we have seen some acronyms that are used in the world of e-learning. In this blog, we will look at some more acronyms.
11. JIT (Just-in-Time): Just-in-time learning systems enable learners to access online learning resources at the point of need. Today, what will you do to find directions to a place or find out the movie that is playing in the theatre close to your home? You just go online for information. To employees, m-learning provides a similar facility to access information pertaining to their jobs at the click of a button.
Guidelines to Design Matching Questions in E-learning Assessments [Infographic]
Training enhances skills and abilities of employees to be aligned to changing business needs. It is well understood that assessments are vital components of e-learning courses. They are a medium to measure training outcomes. Assessments not only strengthen learning but also help evaluate the learner's comprehension of a course.
A Handy Checklist for Creating Effective E-learning Assessment Questions [Infographic]
It is well-known that assessments are a vital component of an e-learning course. Good assessments play an important role in enhancing the efficacy of the online course by helping evaluate the knowledge gained by the learner and reinforce the learning.
Approaches to Design Engaging E-learning Courses for Food Safety
According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 48 million people (1 in 6 Americans) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die each year from foodborne diseases. In order to adhere to food safety regulations, one of our clients came up with a requirement for an e-learning course.
M-learning and E-learning: Where and How to be Used [Infographic]
E-learning and m-learning are powerful learning methods; both are dynamic and effective ways to teach people. So then, what are the differences between and e-learning and m-learning methods?
E-learning involves a series of modules with in-depth subject-matter while m-learning involves smaller chunks of information which can be accessed anywhere, anytime. Modules are designed differently, depending on the kind of format used to learn. M-learning breaks the barriers of time and place and provides easy access to courses. E-learning also enables learners to access information anytime, anywhere through a laptop, and a stable environment is needed for the learner to take training.
Benefits of Micro-modules in Online Learning
One of our clients, a leader in the healthcare industry, had an e-learning course which was developed using Flash components and JavaScript. Most of the client's employees could not complete the course as per schedule and faced accessibility issues, as the duration of the course was very long.
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam: Homage to a Great Teacher
As a college student, I had an opportunity to read Wings of Fire, the autobiography of the former Indian president, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. The story of the "missile man" who rose to great heights from humble beginnings is truly inspiring.
The sudden demise of this eminent scientist is a great loss to the country and has saddened millions. The life of Dr. Kalam is a testimony to the fact that determination and hard work can overcome the shackles of financial and other constraints.
Why Should Social Media Awareness Training for Employees Be Mandatory?
There were a few letters marked "Never sent. Never signed" that were discovered in Abraham Lincoln's desk after his death. When he was upset with someone he would write a letter expressing his anger but would refrain from sending it to the intended person. This practice allowed him to vent his anger, yet not allow needless or unpleasant consequences. One of the famous unsent letters was to Gen. George G Meade, who was blamed for letting Robert E Lee escape after Gettysburg. Unfortunately, in today's age of social media, people have "lost the art of the unsent angry letter" – an expression used in a NY times article by Maria Konnikova.
5 Proven Tips to Frame Good Questions in E-learning Assessments [Infographic]
It is common knowledge that good assessments play a key role in the making of an effective online course. They not only help evaluate the learner's comprehension of the subject-matter, but also reinforce the learning effectively.

We had a wonderful stay here. The owners are charming, good humoured and so obliging. Plenty to see and do in the area; from mountains to city life all within an hour's drive. The accommodation is first class and I would recommend it to anyone. Beautiful Italian breakfast and excellent swimming pool. It really is a little treasure to find this spot. more

Diablicos was very accommodating to our large group this week on short notice. The live music was outstanding and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend for all foodies looking to try authentic Panamanian cuisine.
Fantastic local cuisine and friendly staff. We were "herded in" to the restaurant by one of their staff, but were quickly quite pleased to be there. Lots of tourists, but still had the local flavor. We go there on every trip! Great location too!
We had a nice lunch sitting on the patio watching the people go by. Food was OK. Service a little slow however we were in no hurry. Prices were good too. We had Arroz con pollo. Was different that Costa Rican style, but good as well.
I was really hoping to be wow-ed by the recommendations from concierge who says it's better than El Trapiche and Mi Ranchito. It's got a nice setting. We missed the live music/dance performance so might have been even better. I had a too sweet Margarita with Don Julio ($10). We had empananda with fried pork skin that was fried just...
Really great traditional Panamanian food with good prices. Wait staff didn't have the best English, but with his English and our Spanish we managed to get by.
We went to the one in the old town of Panama City (Casco Viejo ) and ordered the drinks. With the drinks came the menu and we realized that there was not really anything on it that we liked as we are not keen on Panamanian dishes, plus the prices were very high. We have heard from other people that...
The place is great in an amazing location. We loved every part of it. The food was excellent with a fair price. A little above our Backpackers Budget but definitely worth it. We'll recommend seafood as it was fresh and tasty. Our waiter was Rony, a real nice person that made us feel at home!
Good Panamanian food service was good all was well prepared the ceviche was very good fresh fish good plantains. If you are looking for local food this is the place to try location is in the historic area so you can continue your tour after a nice lunch in the ac.
You won't be disappointed
Very normal. Nothing out of this world. I liked the overall presentation, we ordered a sampler of 6 and everything was nice. Taste was ok. We did not like the staff attention, the waiter was rude and was hurrying us.

I find myself editing this this constantly, I think its the fact that usually as soon as I state something in concrete terms, I start to question myself, because I hate certainty, especially in self identification. We all change so much and so quickly that I almost fear saying that I am any specific way for fear of someone reading something I wrote in the past and those words no longer applying. Does that make sense?
I generally only message people who mutually rate each other highly, I know most people out there aren't poly and I dislike bothering people who aren't poly friendly.

The Queen sits with Cabinet for the first time and has 169,000 square mile tract of Antarctica named after her
Related Articles
Published: 18 December 2012
A vast Antarctic wilderness was named after the Queen this afternoon to mark her Diamond Jubilee.
Queen Elizabeth Land stretches across 169,000 frozen square miles, twice the size of the UK. The honour was unveiled after David Cameron welcomed the Queen as she attended her first Cabinet meeting of her 60-year reign.
At No 10 Downing Street she was presented with a rather more conventional gift from ministers — 60 table mats.
Foreign Secretary William Hague announced the decision to name part of the British Antarctic Territory after the Queen. He said: "This is a fitting tribute at the end of Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee year. We are proud to serve a Queen who has achieved so much for our nation and who embodies the ideals of public service that we cherish."
The Queen became the first monarch since 1781, during the US War of Independence, to attend a Downing Street Cabinet meeting.
The mats were hand-finished by the Lady Clare company in Gloucestershire and showed images of Buckingham Palace chosen from the Royal Library at Windsor. Ministers forked out an undisclosed sum — rumoured to be £200 each — towards the gift.
"One can never have too many table mats," Communities Secretary Eric Pickles later said.
The Cabinet members also made a contribution towards the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust, set up as part of the celebrations to mark her 60 years on the throne.
The Queen was an observer in Cabinet but spoke twice. During discussions about the next Queen's Speech, she "gently and very humorously" suggested it should be on the shorter side. Before leaving she wished ministers a happy Christmas.
On her arrival, an eager-looking Prime Minister was waiting at the front door and sprang to escort her from her car, clearly savouring a photocall with the star of 2012.
The Queen, wearing a Stewart Parvin royal blue wool dress and coat, and a sapphire and diamond brooch, smiled for the cameras and was then ushered upstairs to the Terracotta Room where the entire Cabinet was waiting.
She went along the line while ministers bowed and curtsied — with Michael Gove and Jeremy Hunt vying to make the deepest bows.
Then they all moved on to the Pillared Room for a photograph with the Cabinet. Her tour processed to the White Room where the table mats were formally handed over. They were a less glittering gift than the signed silver gilt platter bearing all the names of Tony Blair's Cabinet, given to mark her Golden Jubilee.
In the Cabinet room, she sat at the coffin-shaped table in the Prime Minister's chair, the only one with arms on. "On behalf of everyone, I would like to congratulate you on a fantastic Jubilee year," said Mr Cameron. He went on: "We think the last time a monarch came to the Cabinet was in 1781, during the American War of Independence. But I'm happy to report that relations have improved since then."
During an official photograph, the Queen kept a straight face as ministers grinned with excitement.
While ministers such as Michael Gove, Owen Paterson and George Osborne were obviously amused by something, the Queen alone maintained the decorum that has been the hallmark of her reign.
For the souvenir picture, she sat in the centre of her Cabinet, between the Prime Minister, who was caught by the camera with his mouth wide open, and Deputy PM Nick Clegg.
Leader of the Commons Andrew Lansley was missing — unwittingly standing up the Queen — after being "unfortunately and unavoidably" delayed by train problems.
In the Cabinet room, ministers stood around the table until the Queen took the chair usually used by the Prime Minister. She sat silently during opening remarks but left after around 30 minutes. The meeting started with Chief Whip Sir George Young running through business in a quiet drone.
He talked about the change to royal succession rules, which will allow the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first child to succeed to the throne if it is a girl.
Mr Hague and Defence Secretary Philip Hammond also updated the Cabinet on Afghanistan.
The visit came at the end of an extraordinary year of celebrations to mark her Diamond Jubilee. The Queen's visit sparked a trawl of the records to discover who was the last Monarch to be at Cabinet.
Palace flunkeys thought that Queen Victoria had not attended Cabinet but George III who took the throne in 1760 probably did.
This is not the first time that land in Antarctica has been named after the Queen. Princess Elizabeth Land in East Antarctica, which was discovered in 1931 by Australian Sir Douglas Mawson, was named by him after Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth.
Queen Elizabeth Land: On the map
THE area now known as Queen Elizabeth Land is around 169,000 square miles –almost twice the size of the UK and makes up just under a third of the whole land mass of the British Antarctic Territory.
The Queen has been on the throne for 60 of the 104 years since the UK claimed territory in Antarctica in 1908.
Seven species of penguin breed in the British Antarctic Territory and the area is home to six species of seals. Temperatures reach as low as -80°C and very few plants and animals are able to survive the inhospitable conditions.
Although there is no permanent population a UK presence is maintained there via three research stations operated by the British Antarctic Survey.
The name Queen Elizabeth Land will now be used on all British maps.

"Drive It Like You Stole It", the single from the Glitch Mob aimed at driving up anticipation for their forthcoming debut album, Drink the Sea, has been in my head for a month solid.
I thought I'd be able to shake it, but it's impossible. The synthesized driving beat and the ebb and flow of the industrial rollercoaster of sound have stuck it in my head, possibly permanently. The Music Ninja says, "The Glitch Mob is out to rob you of your senses," while XLR8R called the track "an anthem… announcing the coming of the beat scene's heroes". The MP3 is widely available on the Internet, including right here, which is a good move when it comes to dropping one's first album.
Suffice it to say, I'm looking forward to May 25th, and the rest of this album. You can check the group's homepagefor almost-daily May tour dates, covering massive swaths of the US.

Report Explores Social Science Role in Medical Education
January 13, 2012
Behavioral and social sciences play a key role in health issues and need to play a key role in the medical school curriculum, according to a report released Thursday by the Association of American Medical Colleges. The report notes that behaviors and the social determinants of health -- such as smoking, diet, exercise, and socioeconomic status -- account for more than 50 percent of premature disease and death in the United States.

text: on Mar 24, 2014 @ 3:37 AMMar 24, 2014 @ 3:37 AM PublishedAustralia still analyzing French images in Malaysia jetliner searchBy Jane WardellSYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian authorities said on Monday they are still examining French radar images showing potential floating debris and have not yet shifted the search for a missing Malaysian jetliner in the southern Indian Ocean further north to look for the objects.The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said its search area continued to be defined by a U.S. satellite image of two floating objects to frame a search area some 2,500 km (1,550miles) southwest of Perth.The AMSA is leading the international search along a southern arc for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which vanished on March 8 with 239 people on board.The U.S. imagery was bolstered by a Chinese satellite image showing potential debris in the same region, centering the search for wreckage of the Boeing 777 jetliner south of the equator.The French images, however, were taken some 850 km (530 miles) north of the current search area."We only recently got this information and we are still examining it," an AMSA spokeswoman told Reuters by telephone, declining to say when the authority had received the images.She also said she had no further information about how they were discovered.Malaysian authorities reported receiving the images on Sunday and passing them on to Australia.Maps released by the AMSA on Monday show two neighboring search areas in the southern Indian Ocean, contradicting earlier comments by Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss that the search area had been expanded north to take into account the French sighting."We are taking it into account but at this stage we are still focused on the same search area," the AMSA spokeswoman said. "We are taking every bit of information seriously and examining it and cross-referencing it with every other bit of information."Two Chinese military aircraft, two Australian P3 Orions and two ultra-long range civilian jets are en route to the search site. Another ultra-long range jet, a US Navy P8 Poseidon and two Japanese P3 Orions are due to depart later on Monday.Flight MH370 vanished from civilian radar screens less than an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur on a scheduled flight to Beijing.(Editing by Paul Tait)

A packed house, heckling, lines out the door and protesters forcibly removed — Federal Communications Commission rulemaking votes are usually not this lively.
A large knot of protesters maintained their vigil outside the FCC building Thursday morning while hecklers chided commissioners inside before the closely watched vote on net neutrality. Many of the protesters said they feared the policy shift could favor deep-pocketed users and undermine the freewheeling nature of the Web.
"I want to let you know that this is a moment of crisis in our democracy," one protester said at the start of the hearing. "We are not seeing the people ruling any longer."
SEE ALSO: Divided FCC advances 'net neutrality' plan
"You're trying to destroy our First Amendment rights to free speech and free press," another man yelled as he was taken out of the room.
Hundreds of people camped outside the FCC building in Southwest Washington in the week before the hearing to personally voice their opinions to officials.
ABC News reported that commissioners met with protesters from the "Occupy the FCC" encampment ahead of the hearing, and FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler took a moment to address the tumult during Thursday's meeting.
"Thank you to those who feel so strongly about this. They have been living in tents outside the building to talk to me about this," he said.
Commissioner Mignon Clyburn noted that she had received hundreds of letters, emails and concerned phone calls on the issue, and assured that their voices would be heard now that the proposals were up for public comment.
"When the chairman hits the gavel after the vote is cast on this item, it will signal the start on 120 days of unique opportunity," Ms. Clyburn said. "Use your voice and this platform to continue to be heard."
But as the gavel struck, protesters were on their feet shouting, their words drowned out by Mr. Wheeler signaling the proposal would move forward.

Saying the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) is in the past, trainer Dan Hendricks is ready to forge ahead in Saturday's Preakness Stakes (gr. I) at Pimlico Race Course. "Throw out the Derby and go on," Hendricks said. "Right now he's (Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro) the number one guy and we're trying to knock him off. This is about hoping I'm good enough to beat him."Brother Derek, who arrived at Pimlico Wednesday, had been stabled with trainer Wally Dollase since finishing fourth, beaten 9 1/2 lengths, in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I). Brother Derek, owned by Cecil Peacock, galloped once around Pimlico Thursday morning under assistant trainer Francisco Alvarado."He's a fresh horse, and very full of himself," Hendricks said of the son of Benchmark. "He handled the track good, so whatever happens Saturday, I can't use the track as an excuse."Brother Derek, with jockey Alex Solis, will break from post five as the 3-1 second choice on the morning line. Barbaro and Sweetnorthernsaint, the only other Derby runners to start in the second leg of the Triple Crown, will break from post six and seven, respectively."It's a good thing about the short field, we'll be all together," Hendricks said. "It should be a really fun race."While Hendricks said the sport is in need of a Triple Crown winner, he is not ready to offer up the title."I think it would be great for the sport, and I would hate to see him (Barbaro) not win," Hendricks said. "But make no mistake about it, we're in it to win it."

Larry David's Fake Art Stolen From His HBO Movie Premiere
A copy of the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" funnyman's prized "Plepler" painting -- named for HBO's CEO, Richard Plepler -- disappeared from the "Clear History" after-party.
This story first appeared in the Aug. 16 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
Larry David has a habit of referencing people he knows in Curb Your Enthusiasm and, now, in his first HBO movie, Clear History, out Aug. 10.
A valuable painting his character owns and loves -- of a shopping cart -- constantly is referred to as "a Plepler," named for HBO CEO Richard Plepler. "It was more that it's a funny-sounding name," explained David to THR at the July 31 L.A. premiere.
Plepler said he only had a hint this was coming but added affectionately, "We love Larry -- he can do anything he wants."
Meanwhile, a faux Plepler mounted at the party sneakily was stolen from a wall, right under David's nose. "Why would anyone want that?" he asked upon hearing it was pinched. "Maybe it's a PR stunt."
