header and format parameters might also use variables rendering the dc, image and
content namespace information. Note, that only bits of interest have been implemented
so far and those namespaces might not be implemented fully yet.
dc namespace dc namespace info,
that could be used in header and format. Nnote, that some of the variables are
already used above. This is done by purpose to use different feeds with the
same formating parameters. If there's a conflict the non-dc tags have higher precedence,
i.e. a <title> content </title> is prefered over
<dc:title> content </dc:title> . image namespace image:item is converted into an <img> tag using the following mappings: src: image url (rdf:about attribute of the image.item tag)
alt: image title (title)
width: image width (image:width)
height: image height image:height)
content namespace

Watching fellow college students working for $7.50 an hour after graduation, Tana Walther, a fashion-design major at Kent State University in Ohio, snapped up an alternative offered by her father-to run a Pita Pit restaurant franchise he would buy. “I guess I bought her a job,” says her father, Jan Walther, of North Canton, Ohio.
According to The Wall Street Journal, parents often say they would do anything for their child. Setting a child up in business is surely one big test of that bond. A lot is at stake: Small-business failures are common, and parents risk losing their entire investment, their life savings, or more. They also risk straining their relationships with young-adult children intent at this stage on independence.
Still, many parents see business ownership as a better bet for their kids’ future than a graduate degree. And in this era of renewed interest in entrepreneurship, some parents I interviewed described it as a way of recapturing for their children a stake in “the American dream”-the opportunity to control their destiny and have a chance at gaining wealth.
Many parents choose franchises for their kids because they seem to offer marketing, branding and management support. While no data on failure rates is available, a study by the Small Business Administration’s Inspector General in 2002, the latest available, said there was no evidence that franchises succeed any more often than independent businesses.
Start-up costs, including leases for space and equipment, range from roughly $5,000 to $10,000 for such low-cost operations as cleaning franchises, to $1 million or more for popular fast-food restaurants. Information on risks and legal pitfalls for franchisees can be found at BlueMauMau.org, an online trade journal.

Now that Justin Avery Anderson’s soft granola has made it to the shelves of Whole Foods and Central Market, he hopes to take it all the way to the White House reports The Dallas Morning News.
“I have not contacted the White House, but that’s the plan for the next few weeks,” the 23-year-old says.
Anderson started his company when he was 16. Two years later, Anderson Trail granola was being sold in a Central Market in Houston. By fall 2007, it was in every Whole Foods in the Southwest and all Central Markets.
Since then, he has sponsored 5K runs, added two new flavors and survived an early morning on the Home Shopping Network. And he graduated from college.
Anderson just wrapped up an eight-week road show at Costco stores in North Texas, sampling and selling his product from a “yacht-size display.” It was the first step in trying to get his granola onto the wholesale giant’s shelves.
He has settled into the life of a businessman since graduating from Texas Christian University in 2009. What began in his mother’s kitchen has become a full-time job and a brand that he continues to expand one store and one idea at a time.

Michelle Christerson would find herself faced with a challenge whenever it would rain. Where would she take her 4 and 12 year old children to play? Between a play structure located at the mall and an arcade, there just weren’t many options. According to the Kitsap Sun, that was when she decided to make life a little easier for herself and moms like her.
In June, Christerson, along with fellow mom Carrie Kaptur, opened Imagination Station Enrichment Center. Their website describes the center as ''Port Orchard's First and Only Indoor Playground,'' where a large, orange-and-green space between Jo-Anne Fabrics and the Dollar Tree houses a slew of toys and play areas for infants to 6-year-olds.
And for the moms, coffee and Wi-Fi are free.
''We wanted a place where single moms and working moms could come, where they wouldn't have to worry: 'Is someone gonna snatch my kid?''' Kaptur said.
''You can go to the McDonald's Playland only so many times before the kids get bored,'' Imagination Station customer Alison Dockins said. She said she paid the admission fee - $7 for the first child and $5 for each sibling - and was relieved to have an conversation with other adults, and have a place for her child to play without the safety worries some of the area's parks may bring.
