When antitrust regulators decided last week to allow the nation's only two satellite radio companies to become one, they put forth an unexpected argument -- that the two companies largely do not compete with one another. That may be true, but it's not what government regulators intended. Justifying its decision, the Justice Department said customers of XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRI) generally stick to one service once they have signed up, because if they want to switch, they have to buy a new radio.

ACME Sports & Entertainment retains Epic Corporation (OTC: EPIO) to procure future Casa Havana Coffee & Cigar Bar locations Nationwide. Casa Havana is a new Smoke Friendly Coffee Bar & Cigars concept which allows smoking within its operations. With most states now banning smoking in Restaurants, Bars and Coffee houses, Casa Havana will fill that void for the customer base that enjoys smoking. The Casa Havana concept is modeled from coffee giant Starbucks Coffee and will provide a full Coffee Line and light menu. With Starbucks coffee controlling over 80% of the Coffee Bar market in over 11,000 locations, Casa Havana will target market its 21% of customers who are smokers and prohibited from smoking inside.
