Streaming Music

A great many of our library users stay plugged into to their laptops and listen to music while studying. In attempting to assist with this I want to pass along a UBlog article of the 10 Best Streaming Music sites. The only one I am personally familiar with is Pandora (and I am a huge Pandora fan) so if you use one of these feel free to leave something in the comments.

Federal Judge Recusal and the BP/Gulf Oil Spill

the AP National Investigative Team has put out an article, linked here by Yahoo, concerning how many (as in more than half) of the Federal judges who might hear the Gulf Oil Spill claims have interests in oil companies.

Now I cannot say this is suprising as Federal judges are not exactly poor and investing in oil companies is a normal part of many peoples investment strategy (including mine) but it does bring about some interesting recusal issues.
