Here's an article about Clear Channel relaunching its iHeartRadio.com website to compete with Pandora. They claim to have a much larger music selection. http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2011/09/23/clear-channel-taking-aim-at-pandora-with-relaunch-iheartradio/

This is an article from the same people who brought you the lists about the 8 beers whose sales have declined and the pro teams whose ticket sales have declined. Here are the teams with the most expensive ducats, as they say in the sports pages. I assume in every case that it's the corporations that buy tickets at these prices, although that may not be right for the NFL with its short (few games) schedule. http://247wallst.com/2011/09/22/20-major-league-teams-with-the-most-expensive-tickets/

Congrats FFA! It's possible that the radio broadcasts of many of the sports you enjoy are available on the internet, so you might want to look into that.

Here's an article that says that you can now see who has de-friended you! http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/09/23/new-facebook-layout-enables-user-to-see-who-doesnt-want-to-be-friends-anymore/

Quincy, the players on not on strike. They've been locked out.

Montreal Alouettes 34....Edmonton Eskimos 21 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=376576 The Als led the whole game. Brandon Whitaker scored three touchdowns. Calvillo left the game late in the third when he was clobbered by DL Marcus Howard.

Happy Birthday Ron!

I checked in at the ECM - USA facebook page, and was reminded that the Chick Corea-Stefano Bollani album Orvieto will come out Tuesday.

Maybe this should be in the Artists forum. This is an impressive (to me, anyway) mural. Each block was painted by a different artist. If you click on each block, you will see a close up of what the artist painted. http://www.muralmosaic.com/Cochrane.html

I don't understand how anyone, even Kobe, is worth $700,000 per game for playing basketball in Italy. I don't get the numbers. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/basketball/kobe-bryant-gets-67-million-offer-to-play-in-italy/article2177642/

I don't believe that DVDs will disappear unless the companies pull the plug like they did with LPs in 1988. I think the situation is comparable to eBooks. I expect that there will always be a demand for print books.

Tom, that one's very enjoyable, isn't it? I got it early last year, and I still listen to it fairly regularly.

My first thought was the guys twenty years ago who claimed they had discovered cold fusion.

You beat me jazz train! Here are my calculations. 4x+2y=360 x+y=105 2x+y=180 2x=180-y -[x=105-y] x=75 y=105-x y=105-75 y=30

Sounds great!

You beat me Paul!

Correct, Jim! I saw in the paper the day before yesterday (Tuesday) that it was her birthday, so that gave me the idea.

LOL! Evan, that's the same photo we used before!

Here's a hard one.

Apropos of what Alexander says, a high school classmate of mine named William Russ is starring in a new sitcom called Home at Last that is being shown on the internet first rather than on television. http://www.homeatlastshow.com/
