Minor Seinfeld character, Lloyd Braun, was named for real life TV executive who served as Lary David’s lawyer.

You may remember the Seinfeld character as a childhood friend of George. In “The Non-Fay Yogurt” he suggested everyone in New York wear nametags, in “The Gum” he helped Kramer get historical status for a local theater, and in “The Serenity Now” he “sold” computers for Frank Costanza.

The real-life Braun was a chairman for ABC greenlighting shows such as Lost, Desperate Whores, and Grey’s Boobs, before he left to run Yahoo! Media Group.

At the beginning of the two-hour special, the chefs were shown picking sweet potatoes, broccoli, fennel and tomatillos from the White House garden. Then the chefs were seen walking into Kitchen Stadium, produce in hand. One problem: The show is filmed in New York City.

Education Week reports on a large-scale randomized control study of nearly 5,000 children released by the US Department of HHS this week, showing that the benefits of Head Start largely disappear by the end of 1st grade. Ed Week fails to report that had HHS not used a less-rigorous method of evaluating Head Start, the report would have shown no impact on the language and literacy outcomes for the four-year-old cohort. Nevertheless, Ed Week should get some credit for reporting the story, as the establishment media has avoided it like the plague.

A helium balloon will not float on the moon.  The reason that balloons float on Earth is that the helium inside the balloon is lighter than the nitrogen/oxygen air.

On the moon, there is no air.  So the balloon will just sink.  Or rather, be pulled to the surface by the moon’s gravity.

Bell launched his first restaurant, called Bell’s Drive-In, in 1948 in San Bernardino after seeing the success of McDonald’s Bar-B-Que, the predecessor of McDonald’s, which was founded in the same city in 1940. Like McDonald’s, Bell’s restaurant sought to take advantage of Southern California’s car culture by serving hamburgers and hot dogs through drive-in windows.

The World War II veteran next helped establish Taco Tias in Los Angeles, El Tacos in the Long Beach area, and Der Wienerschnitzel, a national hot dog chain.

Bell launched Taco Bell in 1962 in Downey after cutting ties with his business partners and quickly expanding around Los Angeles.

He sold the first Taco Bell franchise in 1964. In 1978, Bell sold his 868 Taco Bell restaurants to PepsiCo for $125 million in stock.

Soon, the fault lines spread around the room, and other sections of the floor gave way.

Luckily, all of the dieters escaped uninjured and managed to move the scales to the corridor, which was not damaged in the accident, and were able to complete their weekly weigh in.
