What is this logo?

Hi, anyone knows what this logo is? http://www.pyramidci.com/favicon.ico or http://www.make-consulting.com/favicon.ico. I usually see this icon on the web but have no idea... Thank you in advance.-Capim Dourado (talk) 12:34, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

It's a fairly common favicon, which probably means that it's the default favicon for whatever shared web host those two sites use, or maybe some kind of default website software. (Bluehost's favicon, for example, is another one you'll see liberally sprinkled on sites in the web.) In the case of the Pyramid site, the header of the HTML defines its own custom favicon as being located here. Pyramid seems to have a dedicated IP, but Make-Consulting shares a common server with some 50 other websites. I don't recognize what host the icon's you've posted corresponds with, myself. --Mr.98 (talk) 13:33, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Minimum age for alcohol purchase in the US Virgin Islands

My understanding is that the reason all of the US states have a minimum drinking age of 21 is that the federal government would cut off highway funds if a state has a lower minimum age. Is that right? But I saw a store sign in the United States Virgin Islands today saying that it is illegal to purchase alcohol or tobacco if you are younger than 18. Is this the actual minimum for alcohol in the USVI? If so, how can the USVI have it below 21 -- does the USVI not get federal highway funds, or is there something in the federal law that makes the cutoff of funds only apply to the states and not the territories?

Our articles Legal drinking age and National Minimum Drinking Age Act confirm the link between the minimum age you can legally buy and possess alcohol in public as 21, and the level of federal funding for roads. The latter article says: Under the Federal Aid Highway Act, a state with a minimum age below 21 would be subjected to a ten percent decrease in its annual federal highway apportionment. However, the articles explain that the minimum age for consuming alcohol varies from state to state, depending on where and with whom it is consumed. U.S. history of alcohol minimum purchase age by state ahows that the states with a previously lower purchase age have increased it, presumably to avoid the penalty, but confirms that Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands and Guam all have a minimum alcohol-buying age of 18, and says that Puerto Rico does so despite 10% highway funding penalty under Drinking Age Act, although this statement is not referenced. I cannot find confirmation as to whether or not the Virgin Islands are also subject to a 10% penalty - perhaps someone else can. - Karenjc 17:56, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

OK, while 23 USC 158, the National Minimum Drinking Age Act, speaks of various funds appropriated under 23 USC 104, which would include funds appropriated to the benefit of the territories for roads, Section 158 speaks of the withholding of funds appropriated "to any State". If you consult the definitions section, 23 USC 101, "State" is defined as any of the fifty states, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico. Accordingly, there is no penalty to the non-listed territories if they do not raise the drinking age. Why that is, I could not tell you. Possibly negotiated.
