...revenues to Google and Yahoo. By consolidating their websites into a mammoth network, they could sell ads across the board. Hooking up would be a defensive play too. Google raised $4.1 billion in a stock offering last week and has been encroaching on Microsoft's most precious turf, the computer desktop. Microsoft is worried about falling further behind Google in the Web-search races and would love to get AOL to replace its Google search engine with Microsoft's. The AOL unit could fetch as much as $20 billion on the market, and spinning off a piece in a joint...

What exactly has New Orleans homeland security director Colonel Terry Ebbert done since his appointment in February, and what, besides infantile whining, has he accomplished since...
Meanwhile, there is still an issue of professional turf left to resolve. High-tech imaging--particularly CT scanning--has long been the purview of radiologists, many of whom don't take kindly to cardiologists encroaching on their territory. After all, it has happened before. Radiologists used to perform lots of cardiac catheterizations but have pretty much given up that technique to heart specialists, in large part because they were simply outnumbered. As for who is best at reading cardiac CT scans, cardiologists argue that they have a better understanding of the heart's anatomy and function, while radiologists point...
