Bet you didn’t think there could possibly a logical connection. Well, neither did I. But in a filing to the FCC to support strict regulation of the Internet NBC states: “For example, in the absence of movie piracy, video retailers would sell and rent more titles. Movie theatres would sell more tickets and popcorn. Corn growers would earn greater profits and buy more farm equipment”.

Who would have thought that it is possible to find authentic Belgian food in the midst of Cambridge? I loved the moules et frites I had at Central Kitchen last night - the mussels served in a delicious sauce along with exquisite fries and, just like in Belgium, with creamy mayonnaise on top. The frites were truly remarkable and tasted just like Europe to me. Don’t ask me how they’re different from American fries - they just are, somehow crisper and fresher. I was in heaven. The tasty meal was complemented by a bottle of French red wine from Cote d’Ore, very attentive and pleasant wait staff and, most importantly, great company.
