LCCC - poverty and crime by state
Mississippi and New Mexico are neck and neck with the percentage of their population living in poverty. I found this interesting since they are fairly distant from each other and seemingly largely different. New Hampshire had the lowest poverty rate, but surprisingly, they didn’t have the lowest number of personal crimes committed. North Dakota had the least, and though North Dakota’s poverty level was 4.1 % higher than New Hampshire, they had lower numbers of crimes across the board than New Hampshire. This was interesting to me. | yes | the1father | Sep 01, 2010 | 2KB | 67 |

Best Selling Music Artists in US (top 100)
This is the list of the top 100 best-selling music artists in the United States only as of December 2008 and based on certifications of albums by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The RIAA does not deal in sales of albums, only certifications of shipped units. Therefore this best-selling list is based on total accumulated certifications given per artist and may not reflect the true physical sales obtained by these artists.
The RIAA began its certifications in 1952. This list therefore excludes large-selling artists like Bing Crosby whose sales in the 1930s-1950s were not certified. Also affected are artists such as Frank Sinatra, who although they were successful after 1952, were also best-selling prior to 1952. Therefore their positions in the chart reflect certifications from 1952 onwards. | yes | cdcummings12 | Aug 24, 2009 | 5KB | 393 |
