Anthony Fiamma put together a video to recap the event, and CDC’s Victoria and Rodney made the final cut!

Bill Whitaker explained soaring coffee prices on last night’s CBS Evening News with Katie Couric [VIDEO]: Price of coffee heats up
All coffee beans are up in price — way up, actually — across the board. In 2000, popular Colombian mild cost $1.03 per pound. Over the next 10 years the price rose more than a dollar. In just the last year, it jumped almost a dollar more.

That could have customers steaming.
We don’t just provide coffee, snacks, and soda. Bottled water is a huge part of our business. We provide and service 5 gallon water coolers, and deliver over a thousand bottles of our premium Belle Montagne water each day.
No-Spill Caps Make For Hassle-Free Bottled Water
Each 5 gallon bottle we deliver comes equipped with a no-spill cap. You never remove the cap, so you don’t have to worry about spilling when changing water bottles — one of the stereotypical office headaches. In fact, thinking about our no-spill caps inspired a YouTube search… check out our amusing compilation of unfortunate souls who have not yet been introduced to no-spill technology.
This is what life is like WITHOUT CDC’s no-spill bottled water service:
