For the latest Warren Buffett, go to WarrenBuffettNews.com – Warren Buffett and Bill Gates often play bridge together. They both eat junk food and have simple tastes. Buffett really is different. The guys on Wall Street like quick profits, but Buffett takes the long view. With an investment attitude, you look at the asset to generate the returns for you. If you buy a stock hoping that the price goes up, that is pure speculation. You have to deal with things you are capable of understanding. Then it needs to have a durable competitive advantage with talented management. You finally need a price that makes sense. With this checklist, you can find some good investment opportunities. Coca-cola (KO) ticked many of Buffett’s boxes in the 80s by a comfortable margin. Buffett bought a billion dollars worth of shares. They were very aggressive in buying KO. They also invested in American Express and Disney (DIS). They put a third of their assets into KO. You don’t need to diversify. Stick with what you know. Your 50th stock idea won’t be as good as your first. If you bet on someone early like Buffett, it can really pay off well. Buffett has spent 80 years working up a file of everything he knows about business, and he worked at it all the time. Buffett started with a pinball machine business and a used golf ball business. He also had adolescent troubles, especially when he moved to Washington DC.

San Antonio, TX (Vocus) November 20, 2009
The Texas State Library and Archives Commission assembled more than 270 public library leaders, community supporters, broadband providers, and local and state leaders for Texas second Opportunity Online Broadband Summit on November 18 -19, 2009, in San Antonio, to discuss how to improve and sustain high speed Internet access in the Texas public libraries.
Summit participants had the opportunity to build upon the work from the previous summit to further ensure that all Texas public libraries have a meaningful broadband connection. The Texas Opportunity Online Broadband Summit provides an opportunity to understand the value of community partnerships and the possibilities of technology as well as in-depth discussion about possible connectivity solutions and next steps necessary to reach improved connectivity speed.
Currently, more than 200 Texas public library systems lack Internet connections fast enough to meet the most basic needs of patrons, and many more report speeds that are inadequate to meet the true demand of their community. Ironically, some of these public libraries offer the only technology lifeline to their communities.
Both Texas summits were sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as part of its pilot Opportunity Online broadband grant program. Texas, along with six other states, was invited to participate. The grant program supports public libraries as they seek to improve their broadband connectivity and calls for a broadband sustainability strategy, to be developed by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, to ensure that public libraries continue to improve and maintain adequate connectivity for patrons
The summit included a comprehensive analysis of Texas current broadband climate and the future of technology access in Texas public libraries. Stephen Abram, a library futurist, spoke about future library services and applications driven by technology that will influence how Americans use computers and the Internet, and why reliable, sustainable broadband connections in libraries will be essential to ensure library patrons can use these programs to improve their lives.
Keynote speaker Graham Richard, former mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana and partner of public libraries, highlighted the importance of public and private partnerships on the local and state level to prioritize funding for improved connectivity in public libraries.
Peggy Rudd, Texas State Library and Archives Commissions director and state librarian, led the summit and represented the agency.
Every day we are reminded of the value of Texas public libraries, Rudd said. Todays public libraries continue to provide traditional services, but a growing number of patrons depend on library Internet access to apply for jobs, further their education, run businesses or stay connected with families and friends. This summit and grant program will help meet these increasing personal and community needs better by improving library connection speeds.
Building on dialogue and ideas generated at the summit, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission is currently working with an advisory group including Commissioner Todd Staples of the Texas Department of Agriculture, former Governor Mark White, and Texas State Library and Archives Commission Chairman Sandra J. Pickett to develop a strategy to increase and sustain broadband connections in all Texas public libraries. The Texas State Library and Archives Commission will now work with libraries across the state to support their Internet connectivity upgrade and create a long-term state sustainability strategy.
The summit highlights the vital role libraries play in connecting communities to information and knowledge through technology, said Jill Nishi, deputy director of U.S. Libraries at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. What is needed now is long-term collaboration among government, business, communities, and library leaders to ensure that public libraries can continue to provide the high-speed Internet access their patrons need to improve their lives and thrive.

Wearable Towel Makes A Big Splash on Television News and Internet Commentary
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 29, 2009
Convenience trends are never easy to follow and with the Internet and reality television consuming so much media attention there is even less certainty. So how can one explain the overwhelming popularity of a towel with three arm openings? The concept of the Wearable Towel is rather simple but its ingenuity and the company’s creative marketing campaign has captured the attention innumerable media outlets. How else can one explain individual news outlets showcasing the Wearable Towel, complete with photos and excerpts from its parodying commercial in such prestigious newspapers as The Washington Post (where its staffers posed for an editorial wearing the towels), USA Today and New York Daily News; in lifestyle magazines Entertainment Weekly, Cosmopolitan and Glamour; on national television networks including ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX, and on reputable shows like MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show and Fox News’ Fox & Friends. AOL’s home page rated The Wearable Towel “5 out of 5″ as one of it’s ‘we try it before you buy it’ as-seen on TV products, and if that wasn’t enough, Popular Mechanics even conducted their own lab test on the Wearable Towel.
Famed billionaire Warren Buffett’s Business Wireplaced The Wearable Towel as one of its top ten Smart Marketing Pages, next to prestigious companies such as Puma, Fantaand Crocs. Forbes.com, Reuters, and Yahoo! Buzz have also put the Wearable Towel on their favorite’s lists. Rick Dees from his nationally syndicated radio show wore the towel during a staff meeting and sent a personal thank you note. Radio morning shows have covered the Wearable Towel on stations from Los Angeles’ Kiss 107 FM to New York’s Z100 and local news in Dallas, Miami, Seattle, Chicago, San Diego and Detroit.
So what is so captivating about a simple towel?
“People like products that are simple, affordable and suit an immediate purpose,” says Wearable Towel designer Ariel Raphael Stein. “Who hasn’t gotten out of the shower and had to run and answer a phone call or move something off the stove in the kitchen? Who wants to put on clothes when you are still wet or deal with a heavy awkward robe?”
“No one!” answers Stein. “People are raving about the Wearable Towel because it’s both simple and incredibly useful. It’s the newest product where people are saying ‘Man, why didn’t I think of that!’”
Stein goes on to explain, “People relate to simple everyday tasks and are always looking for easier, more effective and comfortable ways to complete daily chores and recreational activities. Everyone uses a towel in some way for at least part their day and we at Wearable Towel have come up with a way to make the towel convenient and multi-functional, while not impinging on the autonomy of the towel’s intended use, and as Martha Stewart would say, ‘And that’s a good thing!’”

The Wearable Towel is imported directly from the Denizli region of Turkey, is ultra absorbent and first-class in quality. The Wearable Towel is unisex and can be worn in either a tunic style or a toga style. What is totally amazing about the Wearable Towel is that with only three arm openings placed along the side of the towel, you can stay confidently, completely, comfortably, covered, while having the freedom to use your hands. So whether you’re at home, the spa, by the pool or at the beach, you can wear it, change in it, lay on it or just use it to dry off. Other modifications of the towel are well known. However, all of these towels either use buttons, straps or fasteners to keep the towel from falling off one’s body. The Wearable Towel on the other hand, does not employ the use of any fastener whatsoever. This novel configuration is patent-pending worldwide, currently available in five sizes and comes in red, white and blue. The Wearable Towel is 100% cotton, with each square yard weighing a full 16 ounces. Increase your standard of living by upgrading to the Wearable Towel today.
