Sharks vs. Sharks 
| | Radio and Internet Newsletter: NPR, CPB, Pandora all leaning towards 'legal response' to CPB. "'Left unchanged, these rates would be disastrous. It will not only end Internet radio, but will also stifle innovation as entrepreneurs and investors will abandon this space — leaving a vacuum that will be quickly filled by illegal unlicensed services with no intention of creating legitimate businesses,' a spokesperson for commercial webcaster Pandora said... |

Quote du jour
| | The music industry has been one of the single most shortsighted, foolishly run, lawyer fed industries in this country, and I am a member of it, being a professional musician for the last 30 years. Perhaps if the industry wasn't so interested in the ONE demographic they think will spend money, and catered even just a little bit to the REST of the music interested world, they wouldn't be in this situation. If you are over 25, they don't give a flying rat's butt about what you want to hear, or even what you will pay for. They just don't care if you aren't in the 13-25 year old demographic. And so, when the kids who grew up with computers can outsmart the old idiots running the RIAA without even trying, I can only laugh. Too bad they insist on destroying not only everyone trying to actually get MUSIC out to people, but their audience, too. |
Why does what go with where?
| | Here's a quiz. What do these have in common? |
| | Wheat and Brandon (Canada) |
| | Doctor and Thames Ditton (UK) |
| | Terror and Puebla (Mexico) |
| | Cancer and St. Albans (UK) |
| | Boys and Thames Ditton (UK) |
| | Women and Washington (DC) |
| | Birth and Charlottesville (VA) |
| | Panties and Salt Lake City |
| | Sunglasses and Rancho Santa Margarita (CA) |
| | Hippies and Santiago (Chile) |
| | Definition and Manila (Philipines) |
| | Deli and Ljubljana (Slovenia) |
| | Basketball and Raleigh (NC) |
| | Zero and Porto Alegre (Brazil) |
| | Hazmat and Washington (DC) |
| | Train and St. Albans (UK) |
| | Intelligence and Washington (DC) |
| | No prizes. When somebody comes up with the answer (and you're disqualified if you work for you-know-who), I'll put links with each one. Eventually. |
| | Specifically, the trend query results show the location from which the most queries come. So for "dog" it's Denver. For "panties" it's Salt Lake City and for "birth" it's Charlottesville. I'll leave figuring out why to the rest of ya'll. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Carver
He subsequently attended a series of schools before earning his diploma at Minneapolis High School in Minneapolis, Kansas.
George Washington Carver reputedly discovered three hundred uses for peanuts and hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. Among the listed items that he suggested to southern farmers to help them economically were adhesives, axle grease, bleach, buttermilk, chili sauce, fuel briquettes, ink, instant coffee, linoleum, mayonnaise, meat tenderizer, metal polish, paper, plastic, pavement, shaving cream, shoe polish, synthetic rubber, talcum powder and wood stain.
Is that anywhere near close to being the answer?

Might be, but not the right answer. Keep trying, the Eight Ball said.
