"CVS/pharmacy used to be a subsidiary of Melville Corporation, where initially, its full name was "Consumer Value Stores" ... CEO Tom Ryan has said he now considers 'CVS' to stand for "Customer, Value, and Service". During the company's days as a regional chain in the Northeastern U.S., many of CVS's stores did not include pharmacies. These stores were simply called "CVS", while the ones with pharmacies were called "CVS/pharmacy."" - Richard Chen from Bookmarklet

"After accepting deposits of bottles of wine from customers, Anderson was accused of selling them through a Chicago company -- and sometimes replacing the expensive bottles he sold with Trader Joe's "Two-Buck Chuck."  Indeed, it appears that Anderson was running a massive oenophilic pyramid scheme--and, for the wine world, has carved a path of destruction not dissimilar to Bernie Madoff's decimation of New York high-society." - Richard Chen from Bookmarklet

"Noggin relaunched as Nick Jr. on September 28, 2009 at 6:00 AM Eastern/5:00 AM Central. The launch included a new logo. The new Nick Jr. network retains the Noggin mascots Moose A. Moose and Zee. The network remains commercial free and, like Noggin, does not marginalize closing credits for promotion of other shows." - Richard Chen from Bookmarklet
