Since day one, I've committed to staying until I get the opportunity to meet every fan standing in line. No matter how the race goes, I know I can go to my booth and there will be Team 68 fans to remind me why I love to race my snowmobile."

Other items returning to the line-up with updated designs include Hibbert's podium snap-back hat and knit beanie featuring the logos of Monster Energy, Arctic Cat and Ram Truck along with the women's specific, soft touch t-shirt.

Kaycee Eidinger will be the first female hillclimb racer to compete on a 4-stroke snowmobile. She plans to race on a 2015 Yamaha Viper M-TX.

"It feels amazing to be the first woman to race a 4-stroke in the hillclimbs! I'm definitely nervous for this race season because it is such a big opportunity and I want to make Yamaha proud," Eidinger said.

She has raced for the past four years.

She said her challenges will include getting used to the new set up. Eidinger said the reliability and power of the 4-stroke Yamaha is a big advantage.

Her younger brother, Gavin Balls, plans to compete as a Yamaha factory hillclimb racer.

"I see a lot of the same attitude and work ethics as I do in Gavin, very competitive and can ride as well as a lot of guys, so to put her on the Yamaha Viper was a no-brainer, two siblings that share the same goals as our team and to prove that we have a snowmobile that is competitive in all aspects," said Troy Johnson, Yamaha Hillclimb Racing team manager.

Eidinger said Gavin pushes her to ride harder.

"He can definitely be hard on me, but he's always there cheering me on and helping me. It's really exciting that we are teammates again and racing for Yamaha," Eidinger said. – Christie Green, Assistant Editor

AmSnowhttp://cs.amsnow.com/members/AmSnow/default.aspxExpert advice on buying snowmobile apparelhttp://cs.amsnow.com/sno/b/news/archive/2014/11/19/expert-advice-on-buying-snowmobile-apparel.aspx2014-11-19T20:47:25Z2014-11-19T20:47:25Z
Snow is flying and so is the gear off the shelves around the country. Choosing the right wearables can be daunting when there are dozens of different brands and types. Should you go insulated or non-insulated? What layers should you wear? What about open-face or modular helmets? AmSnow asked a few apparel manufacturers for directives to consider when buying gear. HERE ARE SOME OF THEIR TIPS.

The fit of a helmet should be just snug enough that, when on, it moves the cheeks and skin on your face a bit when you move the helmet around your head. Keep in mind it must do this without a nagging pressure point on your forehead, crown or base of the back of your head. Since helmets are solid by nature, there isn't a certain shape that will work for all heads. This is something that should always be tried on in person, in my opinion. Also, think about your personal comfort climate. If you are a rider that sweats a lot, avoid buying the most insulated gear on the market just because that is what the dealer says you need. The dealer usually knows what is meant to perform in their market, BUT they don't usually know if you are hot blooded or you run cold. If you are perpetually cold, or in extreme deep-freeze climates don't be afraid to add layers. – Josh Skinner, MotorFist

What is your price range you are willing to spend? There are very high-priced and low-priced items. There are good values in mid-priced items too that may keep you from spending top dollar on outerwear. People are also always asking me about bibs. They are nice as they tend to go up past the belly and over the chest, provide extra warmth and protection from elements. BUT, some people prefer pants because they get more mobility versus bibs. No matter your pick, make sure it has full length leg zippers. It makes it way easier to put them on once you put boots on. – Rich Kumm, Fly Racing

The trick with layering pieces is to make sure that the pieces you are using are made from synthetic fabrics that are designed to move moisture away from your body. Cotton is not an option! - John Summers, Klim

After nearly a 10-year hiatus, Snowmobile Hillcross is returning this year to Winter X Games in Aspen, Colo. Snowmobile freestyle which has been a part of the competition since 2007 will not return to the event taking place Jan. 22-25.

Levi LaVallee, 32, retired from ISOC snocross this year, but he has been preparing to win Hillcross and Snocross events at X Games. LaVallee is currently the reigning champion of Hillcross, winning gold in 2004. British Columbia's famous Carl Kuster holds the title for the most medals in Hillcross with four.

"A lot of people misunderstood that retiring meant from all snowmobile races," LaVallee said.

By retiring from ISOC, LaVallee hopes to be fresh for X Games. The grueling moguls gave a pounding to his knees, ankles and joints in the past.

"Last season was tough physically," LaVallee said.

LaVallee trained this summer and fall for the 2,900-feet hillcross course (shown above). His training included riding sleds on his woodchip track.

"A guy can only do his best. A lot of times people let fear get in their way and keep them from doing the best they can do," LaVallee said.

LaVallee plans to still attend the ISOC events as a team owner this year. -Christie Green

The Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs held their Annual Fall Workshop at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells October 31-November 2 with 900 members attending the 3 day event.

The AWSC consists of nearly 600 snowmobile clubs from across Wisconsin. These clubs and their 26,000 volunteer members are responsible for developing and maintaining nearly all of the approximately 22,000 miles of public snowmobile trails in Wisconsin which in turn contribute millions of dollars in economic impact to the state's winter tourism economy.

The main focus of this year's event was to educate the members about the new Wisconsin Resident Trail Pass that will go into effect July 1, 2015 as a result of Act 142 that was signed into law this past spring. Several workshop sessions were held explaining the new law and what clubs need to do to attract and keep the new members. The new trail pass is expected to bring much needed revenue in to the snowmobile program which reimburses clubs for the expenses they incur while maintaining the trails and provides funding for the trail infrastructure. It also provides an incentive for snowmobiler to join a club by giving a discount on the cost of the trail pass to club members. For more information about the changes visit the WI DNR website at www.dnr.wi.gov or the AWSC website at www.awsc.org . DNR personnel also presented workshops on filling out funding worksheets and re-certification of snowmobile safety instructors.

The Guest Speaker for the Saturday morning general session was Ed Klim, President of the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association. The AWSC youth group, Kids and Adults on Snowmobiles (KAOS) presented an autistic child with an I-Pad in conjunction with I-Pads for Autism and conducted a toy drive for local needy children. A silent auction was held to raise funds for the scholarship committee which presents over $5,000 in scholarships to members of AWSC looking to continue their education beyond high school.

Awards were presented to the following: Randy Butalla, Marathon, Snowmobiler of the Year; The Underdahl Family, DeForest, Snowmobile Family of the Year; Alexus Butler, Watertown, Young Snowmobiler of the Year; Doug Birkholz, Wilton, Groomer of the Year; and Ken's Sports, Kaukauna, Dealer of the Year. Eleven young ladies competed for the title of Miss Snowflake and Macy Wasson from Marquette County was crowned as Miss Snowflake 2014-15 at the Saturday evening banquet.

"The Adirondack-Tug Hill region is an active four-seasons region with countless benefits for residents and tourists alike," said Frank Pace, Lewis County senior planner.

Western Power Sports acquired Marshall Distributing on November 4.

CEOs Craig Shoemaker (WPS) and Roger Marshall (MDI) have agreed to the deal after two weeks of negotiations that will see Cass City, Michigan-based MDI become part of WPS Distributing by spring 2015. The two distributors have been friendly competitors for many years, selling many of the same brands, and the move will serve to further strengthen WPS' position within the powersports industry—the ultimate goal being an even higher level of service and delivery to its dealer network.

 "We're excited to continue the long term relationships the group of fellow enthusiasts at Marshall established throughout the years," said Craig Shoemaker. "Like WPS, Marshall has a long and rich history in the powersports industry, and throughout their many years created lasting relationships with industry leading brands. Like Marshall, our dealers are not only our customers but many are like friends and family. I am excited about bringing the two together."

"The merger of the two companies will benefit our dealer network by providing the same quality service with the added advantage of a broader product line for the dealers to choose from" said Roger Marshall who started manufacturing snowmobile windshields 46 years ago, the same year WPS started selling aftermarket snowmobile parts.

The immediate future will be business as usual at Marshall, with its Michigan and New York distribution warehouses continuing to fill daily orders; and inside sales, customer service, and tech support staff staying in place at its Michigan headquarters. WPS will begin the process of merging Marshall's outside sales force with the existing WPS sales group over the next few months, with a goal of completing the merger as seamless as possible. More information will be forthcoming about the acquisition as details develop.

Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs is offering a discount on snowmobile trail permit before December 1.

2015 Snowmobile Trail Permits continue to be available online, but for the first time this season, are now also available directly from the OFSC's community based snowmobile clubs and their volunteers or from club designated retail outlets across the province. There are two permit types available until December 1:

Seasonal Permit - Seasonal Permits are available online or from club retail outlets on or before December 1 for $210 – a saving of $50 off the regular permit fee of $260. Snowmobilers purchasing online at www.ofsc.on.ca will not be charged a processing fee.

Classic Permit - Any snowmobiler owning a sled that is model year 1999 or older is entitled to buy a 2015 Classic Permit. Primarily available online for $140 on or before December 1, a Classic Permit offers a saving of $30 off the regular fee of $170. Classic Permits are also available on a limited basis through OFSC district offices or their designated outlet. Snowmobilers purchasing online at www.ofsc.on.ca will not be charged a processing fee.

Both the Seasonal and Classic Permit allow access to available OFSC trails anywhere in Ontario for the entire winter. OFSC member clubs operate over 30,000 kilometers of snowmobile trails throughout Ontario that rely on the revenue from the sale of permits to pay trail operational costs. These trails generate almost $1.7 billion of winter tourism economic impact annually, while enabling family riders from all walks of life to enjoy winter outdoors by visiting many places and sights only accessible by snowmobile.

As the snow starts to fall, both Arctic Cat Incorporated and Polaris Industries are both reporting increased snowmobile sales and profits for their respective quarters. That's good news for the industry!

Arctic Cat reports snowmobile sales rose 17% to $157.8 million in its fiscal second quarter, which ended Sept. 30, up from $135.4 million in the prior year's quarter. Cat attributes the increase to its expanded partnership with Yamaha. The company anticipates higher snowmobile sales to its dealers in the current fiscal year.

For its second quarter, Cat's earnings decreased to $15.4 million on a 10% increase of sales of $262.5 million. Last year's net earnings were $23.4 million on sales of $239 million. The company recorded a $5.4 million ATV warranty expense that reduced the 2015 second quarter earnings. For Cat's first six months sales were $406.1 million, up 13% from $359.3 million a year earlier. Earnings were $19 million, down from $28.9 million a year earlier.

For the fiscal year ending March 31, Cat anticipates sales in the range of $745 million to $755 million.

Polaris also reported a rosy third quarter for snowmobile sales as they were up 13% to $162.7 million from $143.6 million the previous year. The increase is due to a higher number of snowmobiles shipped in the 2014 third quarter in preparation for the upcoming season because of low dealer inventories. Sales of snowmobiles outside of North America decreased 29% in the third quarter of 2014 compared to a year ago due to poor snowfall in the previous riding season.

"Our strong third quarter results reflect the continued execution of our long-term strategy and broad strength across our industry-leading portfolio," commented Scott Wine, Polaris' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Amid heightened competition we garnered strong retail sales in all categories, even as we introduced more than 20 new off-road vehicles and motorcycles and over 300 new complementary accessories for our consumers."

Overall third quarter net income was $140.8 million up 20% from the previous year's quarter's $116.9 million. Polaris' full year sales are expected to grow in the range of 17% to 18% compared to 2013.

Experts Commenting on This Company
Gran Colombia Gold Corp.
Gran Colombia Gold Corp. is a Canada-based gold and silver exploration, development and production company primarily focused in Colombia. The company is the largest underground gold and silver producer in Colombia, with several underground mines in operation at its Segovia and Marmato projects. Gran Colombia is currently advancing a project to develop a modern, large-scale, gold and silver mine at Segovia.
The information provided below is from analysts, newsletters and other contributors. Please contact the company and visit its website before making an investment decision.
Expert Comments:
George Albino, GMP Securities (8/14/14) "Gran Colombia Gold Corp. announced its Q2/14 results, where production improved and moved past an early setback. . .total production from the Segovia and Marmato operations of 25.7 Koz, which is a 34% improvement compared to Q1/14. . .while we continue to see loads of opportunity in the asset base there is material risk in Gran Colombia successfully navigating its way through given current low cash balances. . .we maintain our Speculative Buy rating and CA$3.60 target."
The Gold Report Interview with Ralph Aldis (7/30/14) "One company that deserves a second look is Gran Colombia Gold Corp. Its share price is off 95% from its first financing in August 2010. For the last couple of years Gran Colombia has been running with a production run rate of about 100 Koz gold per year with a current enterprise value of roughly $200M. The positive changes that have recently taken place are the hiring of a new CEO, Lombardo Paredes Arenas, in February 2014, and the construction of a modern day milling plant at Pampa Verde. The new plant will allow Gran Colombia to grow its production to 170 Koz gold by 2015. A higher gold price, new management and increased production will go a long way toward turning this company around." More >
The Gold Report Interview with David H. Smith (7/7/14) "Gran Colombia Gold Corp. has moved up sharply, but still probably has not moved up as much as one might expect for its potential. . .having the money and courage to take advantage of these opportunities is what I call psychological capital. If you lose that, you can actually lose your ability to trade effectively. . .Colombia is a much better place to do business than it was a few years ago." More >
George Albino, GMP Securities (5/14/14) "Looking at the balance sheet, Gran Colombia Gold Corp. ended the quarter with $9.5M cash in addition to approximately $19.4M cash in trust ($13.6M set to go toward the Pampa Verde project and $5.8M set aside for gold-linked notes interest payment until the end of October). In the quarter, the company closed a CA$16.3M equity financing with proceeds deployed to continuing improving the company's balance sheet. . .we maintain our Speculative Buy recommendation."
Steve Nicastro, The Calandra Report (12/2/13) "In my search for the most undervalued, underappreciated gold mining stocks, Gran Colombia Gold Corp. could take the crown. This company possesses tremendous upside potential and leverage to an increase in the price of gold. . .Gran Colombia's management team is making the right moves, including the recent announcement of an equity offering to provide financial flexibility."
Frank Holmes, U.S. Global Investors (9/13/13) "Gran Colombia Gold Corp. provided a production update, which showed August production of 9,988 oz gold, bringing year-to-date total production to 70,939 oz gold, on track to achieve 2013 guidance of 110 Koz gold. All-in sustaining costs remain on target to less than $1,150/oz as cost reduction efforts continued in August with additional workforce reductions."

Physicists Measure Tiny Force That Limits How Far Machines Can ShrinkSeptember 23, 2005
By Lori Stiles
University of Arizona physicists have directly measured how close speeding atoms can come to a surface before the atoms' wavelengths change.
The measurement tells nanotechnologists how small they can make extremely tiny devices before a microscopic force between atoms and surfaces, called van der Waals interaction, becomes a concern. The result is important both for nanotechnology, where the goal is to make devices as small as a few tens of billionths of a meter, and for atom optics, where the goal is to use the wave nature of atoms to make more precise sensors and study quantum mechanics.
"Our research provides the first direct experimental evidence that a surface 25 nanometers away (25 billionths of a meter) causes a shift in the atom wave crests," Perreault said. "It shows that the van der Waals interaction may be a small scale force, but it's a big deal for atoms."
The momentary acceleration of the atom as it passes by the surface is expressed in a famous equation which relates the speed of an atom to its wavelength, Cronin said. When atoms are accelerated and closer to the surface, their wavelengths become shorter. When farther from a surface, atoms return to their original wavelength. Perreault and Cronin used the atom interferometer to measure the wavelength shift.

Shameless: Obama's gun control campaign
As part of this campaign, the President "is expected to make an emotional appeal in his State of the Union address," the Post reported. The White House is expected to invite families who lost children in the Newtown, Conn., tragedy last month to attend the address alongside the First Lady. What a surprise.
The President who pressed for tax hikes on families making more than $250,000 a year by labeling them "millionaires and billionaires," who portrayed the notably generous Mitt Romney as an uncaring vulture, intends to push for gun control on behalf of the children.
Questions about whether Obama's proposed changes will actually work will be dismissed by the teary-eyed President, children on either side, who insists that the only way to show we care is to do as he prescribes. Emotional manipulation is a tool of both sides, of course, but no one employs it as shamelessly as Barack Obama. It seems that we are about to find out just how shamelessly.

ATLANTA—Hotel Equities, an Atlanta-based international full-service hotel management, ownership and development company, and Worldhotels, a full-service sales and marketing global distribution company servicing independent hotels and resorts around the world, have executed a joint strategic partnership.
Under the agreement, Hotel Equities will provide a value proposition for Worldhotels' members as a management arm for individual properties. Worldhotels will look to Hotel Equities to provide enhanced customer service and expertise on the operations side, based on Hotel Equities' extensive experience in managing both branded and independent hotels.
"Hotel Equities and Worldhotels share a common goal of growth and an unwavering commitment to positive guest experiences," said Joe Reardon, VP of marketing and business development for Hotel Equities. "We are excited to embark on this strategic partnership, especially as we celebrate 25 years in business and look to further expand our rapidly growing portfolio of hotels in the Americas and globally."
Worldhotels offers a collection of nearly 450 independent hotels in 250 destinations and 65 countries. Through a range of services that includes global marketing, sales, training, e-commerce and technology, Worldhotels backs independent hotels with the power of a global brand while preserving their individual character and identity.
"Hotel Equities' demonstrated success in both leisure and business-oriented hotels make them the perfect fit for a partnership with Worldhotels," said Thomas Griffiths, VP, Worldhotels-The Americas. "With a large portfolio of hotels across the United States, we are excited to add another great value to our customer base and have the utmost confidence in their management abilities to help strengthen operations for our ownership groups. This partnership is one of a kind and we feel our owners will embrace the offer."
"Our newly formed partnership has created a buzz among independent hoteliers and we are already working on several new opportunities with current owners," said Reardon.

Time To Move Kovalchuk
by Paul on 12/04/08 at 10:17 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Mark Bradley of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution,
We all expect Ilya Kovalchuk to leave when his contract expires after the 2010 season, but there's no need for Don Waddell to wait. The general manager should clear the air that befogs his last-place team. He should trade Kovalchuk now.
Kovalchuk has flashed past the point of diminishing returns. He has averaged 42 goals over his first six seasons; he's on pace to score 24. He has averaged 3.7 shots per game over those six seasons; he's averaging 2.8 shots now. He's playing like a man who wants to be elsewhere.

Sticking Up For A Teammate

from Drew Rememda of the Seagate Broadcaster Blog,
You people in the chatrooms make me laugh. Not like you're a clown, here to amuse me.. but I'm just saying…All I did last night (Tuesday) was opine that the NHL culture of defending a teammate that has been dropped by a perfectly clean bodycheck, 100% within the rules of the game is curious even ridiculous. The incident that was my jumping off point was Luke Schenn hammering Tomas Plihall right at the end of the game with a perfectly clean hit. A hit that Tomas called "great". Marcel Goc rushed to confront Schenn and a small pushing and shoving match ensued. I questioned the legitimacy of Goc's reaction.
I had the debate with Jeremy Roenick this morning at Sharks Ice. Just a note we didn't yell, insult or question each others manhood. My basic question. Do you need to confront or fight every player who delivers a clean hit to a teammate?

Reaction To Maurice Hiring
by Paul on 12/03/08 at 11:01 PM ET
Comments (0)
In my daily tour around the web, I noticed many Canes fans are not very open to the hiring of Paul Maurice as coach of the Carolina Hurricanes. David at Red and Black Hockey at KK gave his views and following is another.
from Joe Ovies of the Blog at 850theBuzz,
Maurice might be considered a good coach in hockey circles, but he is the depressing face of what hockey used to be in the Triangle for too many loyal fans. Laviolette, in combination with Rutherford's shrewd roster moves heading into the lockout, ushered in a new era. The organization can't go back, but they managed to turn back the clock.
The reasons to fire Laviolette now are no different than they were during the summer, expect now the Canes put themselves in an odd position of choosing the next coach out of a shallow pool. They end up with Maurice because he's "family", not named Barry Melrose, and most importantly, willing to sign on without a long-term contract.

What Could Happen To Avery
by Paul on 12/03/08 at 07:33 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
Sources tell TSN that Avery's personal publicist reached out to the Stars' organization first thing Wednesday morning in an effort to get Avery an audience with his teammates so he could apologize to them.
The Stars made it clear to Avery's representative that the door was not open for that to happen at this time and perhaps not at all.
The Stars, it would seem, are not in the mood for reconciliation. The Avery-inflicted wounds - in the dressing room, in the coaches' offices, in the front office and the ownership suite - are just too raw and fresh at this point. And they may never heal to the point to allow him a way back in.
more and with this story, I am closing the Avery talk. I have had enough and until something official comes out from either the Stars or the NHL, no more Avery talk from me. Perhaps I should turn my attention to Sundin non-news?
added 7:38pm, via Craig Custance of the Sporting News,
"I would like to sincerely apologize for my off-color remarks to the press yesterday from Calgary," said a statement obtained by SportingNews.com.
"I should not have made those comments and I recognize that they were inappropriate. It was a bad attempt to build excitement for the game, but I am now acutely aware of how hurtful my actions were. I caused unnecessary embarrassment to my peers as well as people I have been close with in the past.
"I apologize for offending the great fans of the NHL, the Commissioner, my teammates, my coaching staff and the Dallas Stars Management and Ownership. As many of you know, I like to mix it up on and off the ice from time to time, but understand that this time I took it too far."

Brooks On Avery
by Paul on 12/03/08 at 05:27 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Gary Bettman's decision to indefinitely suspend Avery pending a hearing tomorrow in New York is extraordinary, unprecedented, and most importantly, an abuse of power that the NHLPA must vigorously oppose even if a vast majority of its membership would just as soon see Page Six Sean receive a dishonorable discharge from the NHL.
This suspension must be challenged in an independent forum where the burden of proof would be placed on the commissioner to demonstrate that saying the words "sloppy seconds" represents "[conduct] detrimental to [the NHL] or the game of hockey," as Bettman is claiming in citing the language in By-Law 17 and Article 6 of the NHL constitution as grounds for imposing discipline.
You do know there is a very simple solution to all of this? Stars waive Avery, he clears, spends a few weeks in the minors. Stars recall Sean, he gets picked up by Calgary. Case settled!!!

More Games Going To OT
by Paul on 12/03/08 at 03:24 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Jesse Campigotto of CBC Sports,
NHL players are working overtime like never before to earn their six-, seven- and eight-figure salaries. Through Friday, 89 of the 333 games (26.7 per cent) played this season required more than 60 minutes to decide a winner.
That's a notable increase from each of the three seasons following the 2004-05 lockout, when shootouts were introduced to settle contests still knotted through overtime. In those campaigns, the rate of games going to OT hovered between 22.1 and 22.8 per cent.
So what, right? More overtime equals more excitement. More fun. More hockey for your hard-earned (and, given the sickly state of the TSX, increasingly precious) dollars. Plus, you don't exactly see fans filing for the exits before the start of a shootout.

Would You Want Avery?

from Arthur Staple of Newsday,
"Had the league not have suspended him, the Dallas Stars would have," Hicks said. "This organization will not tolerate such behavior, especially from a member of our hockey team. We hold our team to a higher standard and will continue to do so."
To which I say: Give me a break. You're telling me Hicks hadn't heard a word about Avery's penchant for classlessness before he approved the $15.5 million over four years?
Count Hicks as another hypocritical, clueless owner. He had no problems with Avery in July, despite the long list of behavior issues. Now, the Stars have a higher standard.
So, if the Stars are so mortified by Avery and want to be done with him, what's next?
How about a Rangers reunion?

While cost growth between for Medicare and private insurance very similar for hospital services, private health insurance has had much steeper cost growth for physician services. Does this mean that those with private health insurance get better care (e.g., shorter wait times for appointments, more physician selection) or worse (e.g., too many unnecessary services, uncoordinated care).

Firefox @10: How Mozilla Succeeded and Why it has now Failed

Tiny Raspberry Pi A+ SBC goes for $20
The Raspberry Pi Foundation launched a Model A+ with a $20 price, a tiny 65 x 56mm, 23g footprint, and a 40-pin array, making it a better fit for robotics. Despite its lower, $25 price, the Raspberry Pi Model A has never come close to the popularity of its larger, more feature rich sibling, the Model B. This summer, the B was upgraded to the Model B+, which kept the Model B's $35 price, while adding several new features, some of which have been passed on to the now $20 Model A+.
Raspberry Pi Model A+ is out now. It's 20% cheaper, 24% shorter and consumes 45% less power
You can buy a Raspberry Pi Model A+ right now. It costs around $20/£15, it's just 56mm long, 12mm thick and consumes just 200mA
MongoDB's Dwight Merriman: From DoubleClick to Database
"We had a R&D group there that we started," he said. "Started by my boss there, Kevin O'Conner. That group and his kind of vision for how you innovate on things is really what got me interested in trying to be creative, trying to come up with ideas either for products or businesses, whether it's inside an existing big company or starting something new that is a startup. So, that was really the catalyst."
Is the business of FOSS really community software?
We are all international now. I recently took part in a conversation at the TYPO3 Eastern Europe conference in Cluj-Napoca, Romania at which a very interesting proposition was put forward. The story starts in Malmö, Sweden where I'm temporarily remote working, away from my usual reporting office in Brno, Czech Republic. I work as a Senior Software Engineer for Red Hat, and I'm a self proclaimed advocate of free and open source software (FOSS). The reason I'm name dropping these locations will become clear in a moment. Whilst in Malmö, I took it upon myself to visit Foo Cafe, a meeting place for techies and industry types to, in the words of Foo Cafe, "learn, create and share." read more

Just Married: Bruce Willis and Emma Heming!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
It took awhile, but Bruce Willis has officially moved on from Demi Moore.
The action star married girlfriend Emma Heming earlier today on Parrot Cay. It's located on the Turks and Caicos islands in the Caribbean.
Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and Madonna were among the guests in attendance at the ceremony. Willis, 54, and Hemming, 32, have been dating for approximately a year.
If you got the money and power like Bruce, you can have all the beautiful women you want. That's how the world works. The sad part is that money can't buy love. I hope he knows what he's doing. He's not getting any younger. That's for sure.
i think bruce could do much better if not atleast for his children
Bruce is a nitwit. No girl 32 yr woman wants to be with a 54 yr old man. She is saving up for her retirement.
How has a bigger problem with the fact that they are now middle aged, Bruce or Demi? They both seem to be in perpetual mid life crisis mode.
I feel like most of the common people envy Bruce for his financial status and now for his cool lady near him !!
They are artists and they live in a bohemian way !
I wish that now Bruce to have a lot of boys with Emma !!
Live long and live wise !!!!!!!!!!!
Did someone just dig Bruce Willis up? the guy looks friggin 80 for cryin out loud!
