Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that Tim Yeaton, former chief executive officer of Black Duck Software and a onetime Red Hat executive, has rejoined Red Hat in the newly-created position of senior vice president, Infrastructure Group. In this capacity, Yeaton will oversee the products and programs that are driving Red Hat's infrastructure and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) business, including the Platform, Virtualization and OpenStack businesses, and Red Hat's Cloud Management product line. Yeaton joins Red Hat as the company realigns its existing Products and Technologies organization to take advantage of technology convergence – from Linux and OpenStack to middleware and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) – and capitalize on growing interest in open hybrid cloud.
In addition to the Infrastructure Group led by Yeaton, Red Hat also today appointed its longtime Middleware general manager, Craig Muzilla, as senior vice president of the company's newly-formed Applications Platform Group. In his new role, Muzilla will be responsible for Red Hat's developer-focused products and programs, including Red Hat JBoss Middleware and OpenShift by Red Hat, the company's PaaS offering. As head of Red Hat's Middleware business, Muzilla has been instrumental in helping to drive Red Hat's multi-product strategy and diverse portfolio, establish Red Hat as one of the industry's top middleware providers, greatly expand the company's middleware offerings, and increase its presence among developers. Red Hat's Storage and Big Data team will continue to operate as a separate business, led by Sarangan Rangachari.
Yeaton brings more than 30 years of software and technology management experience to his new role at Red Hat. Under Yeaton's leadership as its CEO, Black Duck has experienced more than 30 percent annualized year-over-year growth, completed three major acquisitions, created a joint venture in greater China, and built a worldwide operation with a presence in 23 countries. Prior to joining Black Duck, Yeaton was chief marketing officer at EqualLogic until its acquisition by Dell in 2008, and as Dell's Vice President of the Nashua (N.H.) Design Center, he led the integration of the two companies and managed Dell's operations in the region.
Prior to EqualLogic, Yeaton spent several years at Red Hat as senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing and general manager of Enterprise Solutions. During his first tenure at Red Hat, Yeaton was instrumental in expanding the company's business into the developer and middleware markets with acquisitions of JBoss and MetaMatrix, and built go-to-market partnerships with companies including IBM, HP, Dell, Oracle, and several others.
Earlier in his career, Yeaton was president, CEO and director of Avaki Corporation, a venture-backed data management software company acquired by Sybase (now part of SAP). Before Avaki he was senior vice president and general manager of the Server Products Division at Macromedia (now part of Adobe), via its acquisition of Allaire where he served as senior vice president of Products. Tim spent the early part of his career at Compaq and Digital Equipment Corporation, including a role as vice president and general manager of Compaq's UNIX/Linux and Middleware Software Division, where he drove Compaq's pre-IPO investment in Red Hat.
In 2009 Yeaton was named one of the Most Influential People in the Open Source Software Industry, in a survey by Mindtouch. In 2010 he was named a COPU Think Tank Advisor, which recognizes the key global thought leaders in open source software. Also in 2010, the Mass. Technology Leadership Council named Yeaton a finalist for CEO of the Year.

"Over the last decade, open source and Linux have moved from a pure commodity play in the enterprise to the defining software development model in the industry. The cloud, and cloud-style computing, would simply not exist as we know them today without Linux and open source. Red Hat is in the unique position of driving many of the significant open source community projects that are driving next-generation enterprise technologies, and also bringing them to market. By realigning our Products and Technologies organization, we're well-positioned for success in driving these next-gen infrastructure, IaaS, and developer offerings. I'm thrilled to welcome Tim back to Red Hat at this exciting time to lead our Infrastructure Group, and to congratulate Craig as he steps into a new role leading our Applications Platform Group."
Tim Yeaton, senior vice president, Infrastructure Group, Red Hat
"The IT industry is at its most dramatic architectural inflection point since the advent of client-server computing two decades ago – the emergence of cloud-based computing. Most of the innovation happening in cloud infrastructure, as well as in cloud enablement such as big data, mobility, cloud management, etc., is being catalyzed by open source technologies and community-driven development. Red Hat has an incredible opportunity to lead these shifts in IT, and its open hybrid cloud vision resonates strongly with many enterprise IT customers I've worked with over the last five years while at Black Duck. For me, the opportunity to rejoin Red Hat and lead the Group at the core of these industry changes is a once-in-a-lifetime one, and I'm very excited to be back at Red Hat and helping to drive the realization of the open hybrid cloud vision."

The idea of comparing data in motion (at the sensor level) to data at rest (in a Big Data server warehouse) with predictive analytics in the cloud is very appealing to the industrial IoT sector.

Hi, I'm kinda new here but I'm trying to start a Pokemon fic.
It's going to be people-based rather than Pokemon-based (so no Pokemorph, Pokemon p.o.v, etc.) and it's going to be femslash, so if you have a problem with that, I guess this is your warning.
My two MCs are:
Jessica, who works for Mr. Fuji in Lavender Town and returns the bones of Pokemon to their original homes so their souls can be reborn. (There is a Pokemon legend saying that when a Pokemon's bones are buried in their 'homeland' or where they were caught, that Pokemon will be reborn.) Jessica doesn't quite believes it but wants it to be true.
Her pokemon are Pidgeot and Furret
Quinn, who I'm not quite sure who she is yet. Originally she was going to be a full fledged Rocket member who trained the incoming Pokemon given to the Grunts. She was going to have the stereotypical 'Don't eff with me' no nonsense personality. Now she's transformed to a druggie who works for Rocket as a kind of messenger girl, who traffics their drugs between Johto and Kanto.
Her personality has mellowed considerably and now is more reserved rather than stoic, with a wry sense of humor. Quinn grew up in Ecruteak City and because of that, she is well versed in Pokemon legends. She ran away from home when she got into the Rocket circle. She only has one Pokemon, a Growlithe.
Since there are no mentions of drugs in Pokemon canon, I have created my own idea of one, from Schuckle Juice. When the juice in a Schuckle's shell matures past being berry juice but isn't quite a rare candy, it can be extracted and used as a hallucinogen (similar to herion). It is known as either Juice, or in it's dried form, Dust. This is what Quinn is addicted to.
Btw, since I only like the first two gens of Pokemon, I'm only using the first to gens.
I wanted to know what people thought of my characters so far (especially Quinn) and my idea of the drug. If you need any extra info, just let me know.
Any comments are appreciated..

Anyone any idea who the signing that lennons about to sign early next week
24 Jun 2016 13:44:28
Scott Mcdonald on his way, scored 14 in all comps last season. Might be worth a shot but doesn't really excite!
24 Jun 2016 13:56:45
Good finisher, should get a lot of chances at Hibs (IF he signs)
23 Jun 2016 14:11:40
Heard from an inside source both oxley and logan free to go and logan not offered a new contract.
23 Jun 2016 16:00:30
Don't know I believe it. I mean why would he get rid of players he hasn't seen train. Having said that he might know Logan from his playing days.
23 Jun 2016 16:53:56
To be honest wouldn't lose any sleep if this is true. Oxley not that good a keeper and there are better than Logan available.
23 Jun 2016 20:19:07
I know what your saying regarding Logan but I think we need to give him a chance. At the minimum I'd like to see him fit then be judged.
23 Jun 2016 20:37:54
Michael McGovern possibly a good signing. Good shot stopper in the Euros. How good a keeper do we really need in the championship?
{Ed007's Note - McGovern was a possible target if you had gained promotion and Stubbs stayed on as I know he had spoke to Martin Canning for a bit of background info on the lad.}
23 Jun 2016 20:03:25
This is true thank the Lord.
23 Jun 2016 21:50:07
After his performance against Italy he will be looking at much bigger bucks than we can pay, and, who can blame him, he deserves it!

There's no chance lol yous would get him that's funny yous deservedly won the Scottish cup but 2 bad yous r stuck down there again with a numpty like Lennon an animal manager animal fans.

Just shows your childish mentality when your on a Hibs site worrying about what we're doing. Sad sad boy. Go back to school son I think iv heard the bell ringing.
23 Jun 2016 09:57:44
Hibs have tried to get heskey to Easter road, I know he's getting on a bit but it shows lennons intent in bringing in quality.
23 Jun 2016 18:16:07
I'd love to think their was no truth in this, absolutely depressing to think we are trying to sign a 38yr old, and worrying if that's what we are looking at.
23 Jun 2016 20:04:05
He's not coming thank the maker.
22 Jun 2016 16:33:41
The paper says we are interested in el bakhtaoui from Dunfermline. He scored a lot of goals in league 1 last season. Any thoughts on whether he could do a job for us next season in the championship?
Also I've heard we might be getting Liam Henderson back weither on loan or permanent deal as Rodgers is cutting the Celtic squad size.
22 Jun 2016 17:11:24
Bakhtoui is out of contract and weighing his options up. Henders on would be a cracking move. Rodgers has stated the squad there is way too big but what do you expect for a team that buys up all the talent in Scotland to weaken the opposition.
22 Jun 2016 17:14:45
Motherwell already have an offer on the table for the Dunfy lad. As for Henderson permanent deal -- love it to happen but have my doubts.
17 Jun 2016 17:07:39
Strum our at the moment is that were getting close to getting Henderson, mcgregor and commons on loan.
17 Jun 2016 20:40:30
Can't see this, we surely don't need 3 midfielders. Weve got McGinn Bartley Fyvie McGeough Martin and Stanton. The priority is a striker or 2 and goalie.
17 Jun 2016 23:17:00
Agree mate but just passing on what I heard
19 Jun 2016 19:40:15
Wonder if Conrad Logan will be kept on? Would seem a good acquisition
21 Jun 2016 00:30:41
He's no keeper and I'm surprised he's not already gone.
He did us a turn but that's it.
Wish him all the best but not at Hibs.
21 Jun 2016 19:00:28
Persevered obviously a new poster ah? . Why would you want rid of Logan? What do you mean he's no keeper? Explain yourself because in my eyes if it wasn't for him we would have been out in the semis.
22 Jun 2016 11:55:43
I heard James Forrest's name being linked as a possible loan deal along with Liam Henderson
I would seek out Rodgers as a goalie, but agree we have too many similar Midfielders.
22 Jun 2016 11:57:23
Conrad, Thanks forever grateful, but not sure you could compete much higher than the championship for us. but you just might help get us there.
22 Jun 2016 22:34:33
I'll explain why Logans not for us
He had a howler against Falkirk
He isn't fit
He looks suss
Yeah he had a cracking game in the semis but open your eyes. I'd be really surprised if Lennon keeps him.
As other poster said, he's a legend but I reckon if we use him you will find I'm right. Hope not to be proven right.
We need a better keeper than any we've got.
23 Jun 2016 16:05:46
Yeah he had a howler I know I was their however excluding Andy Gorum tell me a keeper that hasn't had a howler. Yes he's not fit but he is going in to a full pre season and I do agree if he's not fit after 5-6 weeks intensive training then he dosent deserve a contract. Surely we can all see what he does have and what he's capable of so I say give him a chance to get match fit then judge. We've had crap keepers over the last 20 years so another few weeks won't make a difference.
24 Jun 2016 11:16:22
Great argument Hibby07, we've had shite so let's keep shite!
Thats the sort of attitude that's got us in this mess.
Anyhow, he's getting the boot, so no worries.
Surprised if Oxleys going too, but probab;ly he's not happy being second fiddle to whoever is coming in.
24 Jun 2016 13:40:43
Your like a politician twisting the truth, all I said was he has shown us what he's capable of therefore I think he needs time to get fit then judge him. It's quite simple really, why get rid of a keeper who has shown potential to be a cracker. Get him fit and if he's not producing in pre season get rid. My comment regarding shect keepers is true. Give the lad a chance to get fit before we judge.
25 Jun 2016 12:33:54
Celtic won't loan us so many players this season. They where only doing it to get one over on rangers and now they're back in the big time there's no chance.
25 Jun 2016 15:11:38
That's a stupid comment they were only loaning us players to get one over Rangers. The players they loaned to us are not good enough for a strong Celtic side. The only reason we got them was to get them match fit and to see if they were any good. Honestly some people have crazy ideas. Big conspiracy theorists ah.
16 Jun 2016 22:47:23
Neil Lennon and Leanne dempster have had a falling out and if issues are not resolved before August one of the two are on their way out and according to Petrie it's most likely going to be Leanne.

17 Jun 2016 15:22:41
Hibs are financially in a better position now than any time over the last 25 years. Most decent hibby' realise that dempster has had a big part in our progress over her reign. There is no way she would leave because of an issue with a manager so as the other posters have suggested your talking mince
17 Jun 2016 17:06:40
I smell a yam
17 Jun 2016 20:42:40
Bull---t !!!
21 Jun 2016 00:32:36
Sounds like a story hatched at Castle Greyskull
14 Jun 2016 17:07:02
Hanson signed a 3 year deal well done hibs.
14 Jun 2016 17:29:26
So has Hanlon!!!!
14 Jun 2016 23:35:53
Lol that's what I meant cheers
10 Jun 2016 15:25:46
Hibs also interested in reigniting interest in Stephen scougall and Stephen Kingsley but Kingsley only on a loan deal and Paul mcginn deal seems dead and he is set to resign contract at Dundee.
10 Jun 2016 15:24:26
Cummings on the way out for 1.2 million to Birmingham and hibs looking to launch bid for Dundee striker Kane Hemmings.
11 Jun 2016 11:46:59
Hope hibs take the money for Cummings
12 Jun 2016 20:38:57
I'm not a great lover of Cummings however I hope he stays I mean we couldn't buy a player that scores as many goals. Any team in any league would love a striker scoring 20 odd goals a season and he's done it the last 2 years. What do you want another Gary oconner who scores 8-10 a season but that's ok because he's a supposedly a hibby. As I say I'm not a great fan but he's scoring as many goals as Derick riordan
13 Jun 2016 12:43:45
I'd take a million all day and night. He's a young player with plenty potential but I still don't think he's great. He scored a few goals but I reckon with the amount of chances he's had he should have scored a whole bunch more. I think we need experience upfront. the question is though who? Any thoughts?
I don't think we need any more young players, in my opinion we need a leader and some proven experience in our young talented squad
15 Jun 2016 18:24:48
I don't know what you mean he should score a whole bunch more, if he was to score another 10 he would be worth millions if he done it on a consistent basis. I'm sorry I just done agree. As I said in my original comment I'm not a huge fan but that's more about his attitude rather than ability. Be careful what you wish for, players that score 20 plus a season are worth their weight in gold. Apart from riordan & sparky when did Hibs have a player that banged in as many on a regular basis, you would need to go back 10 years plus. Tony Mowbray made a massive mistake at Celtic by getting rid of Scott McDonald a proven goal scorer
16 Jun 2016 16:55:15
I can see what your saying and your opinion is valid but how was Celtic in the wrong to let McDonald go? They still won the league after and it made no difference to there teams success. They've had much better since.
I just think if Keatings had as much playing time as Cummings he would have scored more goals. he's not my type of player but it's just an opinion. In my mind he's got a horrible touch he's lazy and missed at least 70% of clear cut chances. Fletchers the best striker we've had in recent history(opinion) but he didn't score loads of goals. (Could argue Leigh but he was never really our player unfortunately)
16 Jun 2016 20:41:33
Celtic were poor under Mowbray he got rid of their best players and ultimately paid with his job. How can you honestly say fletcher is the best striker we've had, yes he's made a great career for himself but strikers are judged by the amount of goals they put in the net period.
Ask most Hibs fans at the time & most would say get rid of fletcher. Stick the ball on his left leg he was class, anywhere else he was hopeless. If Cummings stays and scores another 20 his value will double. Plus keetings might be a better football player but a better striker he ain't.
18 Jun 2016 18:24:10
Cummings is better than Fletcher?!! Your at the windup mate. Hink you forget we were in the premier league and not the championship at that point. Tbh I don't know what your thinking. Next you'll be telling me Scott MacDonalds better than hooper.
Don't get me wrong tho I won't be disappointed if Cummings is still a Hibs player next season. Best case scenario he stays and we find a good all round striker to play along side him and bring him on a bit.
If were offered good money tho we'd be aswell taking it
19 Jun 2016 18:08:51
I never once said cummimings is better than fletcher however in the short time Cummings has been at Hibs he's scored far more goals. I'm only speaking in facts. When fletcher was at Hibs I couldn't care a damm whether he stayed or went. Please read the stats and tell me how many goals fletcher scored for Hibs. I'll tell you incase you don't know 43 goals in 156 appearances hardly prolific. Cummings has scored more in his very short Hibs career. Anyway getting back to the original point the only thing all of us want is a striker that scores regular & that I'm sure you won't disagree with & at this very moment Cummings is doing exactly that. Iv seen better players come & go from Easter road over the last 30 years however I could count on my one hand the strikers that do it regular.
08 Jun 2016 21:38:28
Kris Commons is apparently Lennon's No.1 target.
Is this wishful thinking? He could still get a top 12 English championship team and he is English, so I doubt he would come to Hibs, but would gladly take him!
09 Jun 2016 19:40:23
Can't see it on £12k at septic
09 Jun 2016 22:44:48
He's 32 yrs old, their won't be that big a rush from the english championship. He apparently is desparate to get in to coaching, a player coach role might just suit him, plus, he doesn't need the cash.
15 Jun 2016 02:57:13
He has 1 year left on his contract I think so he would be going out on loan if Celtic don't want him.
English Championship teams would definitely try him out on loan, but i hope he likes living in Scotland for Hibs sake.
08 Jun 2016 20:20:12
First Neil Lennon. what a coup!
Surely not our Scottish Cup Hero too?
Word on the network that Anthony Stokes coming to us on a free!
Get Liam Henderson too.
Omg a couple of other additions to them and our squad will fabulous.
08 Jun 2016 21:40:49
We would need a lot more than a couple to have a fabulous squad.
Our team was really poor in the 2nd half of season! On paper our cup run was great but that semi was a shocker, too. Our cup final has blinded people's view of what happened in the rest of the season!
09 Jun 2016 07:45:52
Mr Aware you are 100% bang on with regards our league form. However you must concede that the final proved what they are capable of doing when they face a team not set up purely to stop us playing! We still have a team capable of winning the championship but we have to toughen up that defence!
09 Jun 2016 19:41:41
Hibs have 1 of the best squads ever although I think Stubbs will win stokes battle
15 Jun 2016 03:04:54
Any SPL squad is capable of beating Rangers too but it doesn't mean they have fabulous squads.
Having said that, our squad should've been 10 pts minimum ahead of Falkirk, which they weren't. Was this the players fault or manager's I think a bit of both.
GLORYHIBS - "1 of the best squads ever" - Stop getting carried away. Stevenson and Hanlon constantly had lackadaisical defending and the Championship now makes them look like decent players. If we are to finish top 5 in SPL next season we will need to make many signings. Not a whole team but still.
08 Jun 2016 19:02:30
Stokes has been freed by Celtic, a few clubs chasing him including us.
09 Jun 2016 19:53:59
Stubbs in paper stating he would love to team up with Stokesy at Rotheringham
15 Jun 2016 03:05:17
I'd love Stubbs to sign him.
18 Jun 2016 02:01:55
Signed for Blackburn on a 3-year deal sadly, good luck Stokesy!
08 Jun 2016 17:15:22
El Alagui leaves Hibs.
Likeable guy and could've been good for us but his injuries made him a disaster signing. Let's hope he doesn't join Falkirk though and end up playing all 36 games!
09 Jun 2016 19:56:04
One sure way to ensure he doesn't sign for Falkirk, - give him another season at Easter Road on a "pay-per-play deal".
15 Jun 2016 04:11:02
I doubt he'd accept only being paid 8-13 weeks a year, although in reality that's all he should be getting offered! Player coach. Doesn't play enough to be considered just a player
08 Jun 2016 15:23:28
NL is your new manager; enjoy league one!
08 Jun 2016 19:06:52
Only for this season, be in SPL next year - BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID. (2-0 up with 10min to go and still couldn't win] When did you lot last win a derby?
13 Jun 2016 22:33:08
No one is afraid of you.
08 Jun 2016 00:48:00
Appears Lennon is being confirmed today.
Bringing Gary Parker and Leanne pledging funds from season ticket sales to bolster the squad.
Big welcome to Neil and the big promotion push.
08 Jun 2016 15:20:36
Well done to all at hibs biggest appointment in years showing great commitment to the supporters welcome Lennon
05 Jun 2016 23:38:46
Anyone fancy Mark Venus he was in the frame before Stubbs. I think he would do a good job we the younger lads in the squad. Can't stand Lennon although you would have to say it's a bit of a coup if we were to get him.
06 Jun 2016 14:26:00
H'mmm not really when there are so many high profile managers available. Not saying Mark Venus wouldn't be good but if we can get Neil Lennon then that's surely a fantastic acquisition for Hibs. He'll attracts big names as we can get and young talent will be attracted to Hibs too. Players on the books will also be delighted. TBH no idea how good his managerial skills are but then I could say the same about any incoming manager. It's a case now I'd say of . if not Lennon the whom? GGTTH Scottish Cup Holders since two weeks last Saturday :)
06 Jun 2016 14:48:01
I'd have preferred Venus to Stubbs last time but that's just because i never wanted Stubbs.
I get bored of us being linked with people who have never managed before. There is no reason for us to appoint someone who hasn't managed before. We should just appoint someone who has a proven management record.
P.s bit of a cringeworthy name = Scottish Cup Holders 2016 haha
05 Jun 2016 17:21:20
Sky says there are 4 candidates being considered.
Lennon, Mackay, McLeish and someone else.
I thought McLeish said no? Or has he changed his mind? Or are they just begging him to do an interview? Haha
05 Jun 2016 20:40:42
McLeish not quoted, the 3rd one will be Gemmel. Has to be McKay for me, I know things weren't great at Wigan but he took Cardiff to the Premiership.
06 Jun 2016 14:49:35
I think Mackay would do good again with Hibs but we have so many PC fans that will just criticise him constantly.
02 Jun 2016 00:06:04
Steve Evans or Neil Lennon? I'd take either.
02 Jun 2016 05:02:01
Steve Evans has proven to be good at getting teams promoted and i wouldn't mind him there but I'd choose others ahead of him.
Neil Lennon would surprise many and English included, but he is one of the people i hate most in football and he would only be taking the job because of his biased mindset.
04 Jun 2016 03:45:12
Haha, I appreciate the 3 thumbs down without a reply.
04 Jun 2016 12:31:36
Lennon would be a great hibs boss
05 Jun 2016 17:27:26
GLORYHIBS - I bet that's what Bolton fans thought. What a disaster.
I do think he would win us the league but he didn't actually do a great job at Celtic despite what people say. Didn't win league first full season. Won 2nd season as Rangers got a point deduction. Then Rangers were out of the league so it was easy to win anyway. Credit for getting them out of the group stages of CL for one season though but Benfica and Spartak aren't amazing.
31 May 2016 19:02:15
How much of a hypocrite is Alan stubbs? Won't sell a player to a bigger club to help the players career but soon as a bigger club comes in for him he's off. What a joke he is.
01 Jun 2016 08:15:26
Bigger club????
He's not gone to a bigger club.
He's gone to a bigger division with more money.
What player you on about anyway?
He sold Scott Allan to Celtic ( was that not the right big club?)
01 Jun 2016 15:44:48
Stubbs not went to a bigger club but this is to do with his family being down south and he's a hibs legend .
01 Jun 2016 20:59:34
Any player I was meaning and I would say the team he's away to is a bigger club than hibs. There in the 2nd best league in england and he will have a lot more money to spend than he would with hibs si you a bigger club
01 Jun 2016 21:01:33
He went for the money not family reason.
{Ed025's Note - he also did an exclusive with the s*n newspaper which has not gone down well on merseyside, im an evertonian hallett and to say im very disappointed in him is an understatement mate..
02 Jun 2016 05:00:08
Hallett1 - He is a hypocrite.
Rotherham isn't a bigger club though. The league they're in is irrelevant to how big they are. I remember when Spurs were 14 or something and Bolton 7th and a stupid ex footballer was trying to say Bolton were now bigger than Spurs. Absolute garbage.
Were Rangers smaller than teams like Ross County just because they're in a lower division? Are Bournemouth now bigger than Newcastle and Aston Villa? Have a word.
02 Jun 2016 10:51:13
Mraware. 1. there fan base is bigger than yours. 2. They have more money than yous to spend on players and wages. 3. They play in the 2nd best league in england where it don't matter where they finish they will earn a lot more than yous if yous win the league. So yea I would say they're a bigger club than hibs.
02 Jun 2016 12:19:25
It is, they're biased towards Hibs. Hibs aren't even the best team in the second league in Scotland. Haha
02 Jun 2016 18:51:44
Hallet - Want to get your facts right mate before spouting rubbish. Rotherham last year had 6,000 season ticket holders, Hibs had 7,900.
02 Jun 2016 19:53:11
Auld yln sorry your Wright about that but everything else I said is true
02 Jun 2016 20:00:42
Aye, and only 1000 people would turn up. All about how many turn up, not season ticket holders. We had like 2 and a half times more season ticket holders than you
02 Jun 2016 22:01:35
I live 20 miles from Rotherham and i can tell you the fans of Sheffield United think and are a far bigger club than Rotherham. They can't get out of league 1 but to say Rotherham are bigger because they're in the Championship above them would bring you ridicule and a smack in the face. Of course Hibs are a bigger club and despite being stuck in the Sc Championship they're still Scotlands fifth biggest club.
Alan Stubbs ambition next season is to guide Rotherham away from the bottom of the league and his claim that getting Hibs promotion wouldn't be better than the cup win is rediculous. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
03 Jun 2016 00:47:37
Fifth? Haha. Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts, St Johnston, Caley, County, Utd, Dundee, Falkirk, QoS, Ayr, Edinburgh city and then Hibs
03 Jun 2016 19:10:34
Fifth hahaha Alan stubbs left yous for money and cause he knows himself that yous wouldn't be getting out of that league anytime soon. He don't even won't any your players down there with him.
04 Jun 2016 03:51:38
1. To say they have a bigger fan base shows your lack of knowledge. Look at average attendances over our history compared to there's (current and old).
2. Having more money because of TV doesn't mean they are bigger. As I said about Bournemouth, they aren't bigger than Newcastle or Aston Villa just because they'll be getting more TV money this year. Do remember we are talking about football size not business size. Celtic have a bigger fan base than 17 of the 20 EPL teams but can't beat any of them with wages.
3. If Hibs transferred to English football, we would straight away be earning more. So you can't say because they are luckily playing in England that it suddenly makes them bigger.
You have such a warped viewpoint.
04 Jun 2016 09:35:28
Why would you earn more? You'd be sat near the bottom of league two
05 Jun 2016 17:32:30
Mentalhibby - Fan wise we are actually 4th. It's just we're huge underachievers so it makes us seem like Aberdeen is bigger. They have obviously won many more cups but that's only down to Ferguson. Sadly Hearts are 3rd and that will stay for a while as being in a lower league will be making is lose new young supporters.
Manx-Jambo & hallett1 - why don't you two just go back to Scotsman comment threads with the other sad jambos who have nothing to do.
26 May 2016 12:09:35
Stubbsy favourite to land the Rotherham job. Who makes up this rubbish?
26 May 2016 19:16:36
He's 1/5 to get it so there must be a lot of money on it and a wee bit in it
31 May 2016 21:46:34
Not rubbish after all, Stubbsy agrees a 3 year deal with Rotherham
02 Jun 2016 12:21:59
Love it!!!
20 May 2016 20:40:03
Everton fan here and big fan ov stubbsy just wondered how he is perceived up there Is he good manager or would u get rid of him? Hope u win the cup by the way
21 May 2016 14:25:18
Meh, not really thought highly of as he hasn't escaped the Championship two years running.
21 May 2016 23:54:45
Who's asking you Manx Jambo.
Stubbs has taken a Hibs team which was in complete disarray and taken us to 2 cup finals.
He's won us the Scottish Cup for first time in over a century and very nearly got promotion.
The guys done fantastic and I would say that even if we had lost today.
I hope he stays for another try at getting up and for the European adventure.
02 Jun 2016 04:57:30
Johny89 - The Hearts fan was right.
He has failed 2 years in a row in the Championship and had been on an awful league run since end of january.
Alll that saved him from being forced out was winning the Scottish Cup. Credit to him for that but league wise he's useless.
P.s media continuously say he is great but let's remember, these are ex footballers who are pretty stupid.
05 Jun 2016 15:05:53
Totally agree. Lost to County in a final though, so that should be a day to forget, right?
13 May 2016 22:23:26
well what now hibs 2/ 1 up and lost it it's a joke.
14 May 2016 14:48:18
Change of management,sell some players and stay where yous belong
06 May 2016 11:39:16
only 6 home results out off the last 19 games played at Easter Rd would be good enough to win tie against raith rovers?
06 May 2016 21:24:09
We can't let it go to extra-time as it will mess us up for Falkirk game, but can you really see us beatinf Raith by 2 goals? We can't find the net against weak weak opposition.
If we don't beat Raith, we definitely won't beat Rangers in the final. Which would 100% guarantee Stubbs leaving.
People criticise McLeish, but did he take 3 years to get us promoted? Nope. With no excuses he got us to record points total in 2nd tier 10 team league.
Stubbs will hold the record for taking the longest time to get us promoted. Fenlon holds the record for worst ever result in europe for a Scottish team and Hibs worse ever game in a cup final!
Which terrible statistic will our next awful manager achieve? Will the happy clappers mention John Collins again?
07 May 2016 20:48:21
I don't think you can compare managers. mcleish had possibly one of the best teams have had in the last 20 years and the wage budget then was almost double today's budget. The problem for me is the position we find ourselves in being the best footballing side in the league to end up desperate for a win & for that reason Stubbs needs to have a look at himself. If we continued in the form we were in for another few games we would have struggled to finish forth as faith were right in the mix. Jim duff played brilliant football for a few months & we all know the outcome of that one. Stubbs really needs to start asking questions of some of the players & himself either that or were in for another torrid time in either league
08 May 2016 17:25:23
McLeish's budget is always mentioned but every other SPL team had a bigger budget at the time, too. Rangers were going out spending money on Flo etc. and look at the players Dundee, Hearts and Aberdeen had at the time compared to now.
Are we really the best footballing side? People class loads of passing as great football but it really bores and frustrates me. I want quick football with wing play. Quite often it looks as if the midfield don't know how to get us a goal.
People were criticising Allan when we were winning games this season saying that McGinn is much better but the stats don't lie. Allan is like a machine when it comes to getting assists. Much more assists than any player has got us this season.
I highly doubt he would come back on loan next season but if we don't go up then Allan would be an amazing loan signing. Much better than Henderson.
11 May 2016 01:05:10
Hibby07, I don't think many would agree you're the best team in the league, that title has gone to Rangers this year and last. Although I do believe you's are alright, it's the lack of support at pretty much every game that let's the team down. Utd's fans even after being relegated filled the stadium.
11 May 2016 22:17:35
Shocking support yet get half the allocation for the final taking tickets away from people who go regular to let there glory hunters have a day out I think the 13000 that went to the semi would have been a fair split👍🏻
14 May 2016 14:53:29
Hibby07 you having a laff best footballing side?? Did you win the championship eh let me see NO you never. Are yous in the play off final again let me see NO your not and you say yous are the best footballing side hahaha
04 Jun 2016 03:59:38
Manx - which stadium did they fill as it certainly wasn't their own!
Hearts are doing well as usual. How can you hate on a team you aee constantly doing better than? I didn't even hate Rangers that much last year as we were better than them, so how can you two feel hatred? If I was a Hearts fan i would never feel the need to get angry at Hibs as Hibs barely ever win derbies as the stats show.
Or maybe you two are just annoyed that on August 21st it will be exactly 2 years without a win against Hibs? 2 that will be extended to 3 as Hibs won't care about cups this coming season so we won't play you lot.

Hands-on: Audi RS7 Sportback reviewPocket-lint
Audi isn't scared to bring its RS badge to a widening array of cars and the Audi RS7 Sportback sits at the top of the pile. It's one of the newest additions, along with the RS Q3, and sees the premium A7 Sportback get a makeover.
The A7 arrives at £41,170, but by the time you've upgraded it to the RS7, that figure has doubled, starting at £83,495. There's no holding Audi back, however, and the test model we got our hands on will cost you a cool £110,000 and more.
That's down to the number of extras specified on this car - the £6,300 Bang & Olufsen sound system takes a chunk of it, for example - but there's a huge amount you can add. We're especially taken by the heads-up display, delivering speed and speed limit, navigation arrows and the lane departure warning system in your eyeline, so you can concentrate on the road, rather than on the driver's dials.
From the outside, it's instantly recognisable. The Sportback styling aims to give you coupé looks with four-door saloon practicality and it's certainly a spacious car whether you're in the front or the back. Yes, you can sit comfortably in the back whilst the RS7 takes you to 62mph in under 4 seconds, although the slope of the roofline might make it less roomy for tall passengers in the comfortable back seats.
The looks will divide opinion however. It's not as pretty as the RS5, it's smaller Sportback brother that seems to suit the styling rather better than the larger 7 model. It's the back that leaves us feeling a little odd about it. We can see what the Sportback wants to achieve, but we're left thinking it's not as good looking as a traditional coupé or a sports saloon.
That's something of a challenge for Audi considering the excellent BMW M5 sticks to traditional saloon looks and costs a little less, although the RS7 is closer to the BMW M6 Gran Coupé, another car that we think suffers in the looks department from behind. It is cheaper than BMW's four-door coupé however.
The Audi RS7 boot might not be as well equipped for your luggage as a regular RS6 Avant, down to that dropping roofline and back window, but it's not lacking in space: 535 litres to put a figure on it, with the option of folding down the back seats for those moments you need to throw your bike in the boot.
From the driver's seat, however, the looks don't really matter. The cabin is spacious in the front and that large back window means that visibility is good: not something that's always the case on a car that'll speed you to 189mph. The interior is adorned with the quality of finish you'd expect from Audi and matches the rest of the range. The wonderfully comfortable RS sports seats keep you in place when you attempt those faster-than-you-should corners, with plenty of adjustment and support to make driving a comfortable experience.
That fast cornering is one thing the RS7 is happy to do, too. There's no missing the large Quattro lettering across the front of the car with the power being delivered through all four wheels, but in our test model the Dynamic Package Plus option was also added. That gives you the RS sports suspension, ceramic brakes and that elevated top speed of 189mph, up from the limited 155mph. Unfortunately for those on a budget, it's a £10,725 option, dragging the RS7 into line with some of the pricer alternatives.
There's a beautiful V8 roar as you punch the starter button, with the 4-litre twin turbo putting 560PS at your disposal. In the normal drive mode, the Audi RS7 will cruise along quietly enough, like any premium luxury saloon. It's smooth and comfortable and everything happens with precision and ease, with the 8-speed gearbox keeping things in check. Being a Quattro brings the reassurance that you'll be comfortably driving in all weather: there's no need to worry about spinning rear wheels leaving you stuck on a speed bump once the snow starts falling.
Of course you have the gear paddles at your fingertips should you feel you want control back, but put your foot down to overtake on the motorway and that V8 leaps into action and the power comes to bear with a satisfying growl.
A gentle tug on the gear lever flips the Audi RS7 over to sports mode. If you prefer noise to miles per gallon, then the change to something racier will put a smile on your face. Despite the RS7 being the size of a small tank, it sounds and takes off like a sports car when you hit the pedal in sports mode.
Sports mode can be a little uncomfortable in normal driving, however. It's noisy, although it's a wonderful noise, but that gear change doesn't happen until high in the rev range, so it's screaming away as you charge down the A312. At times you'll be rolling along at 5000rpm when in reality, you're ready to be two gears higher up.
The ride is also rather harsh in full sports mode, better suited to sticking to the road as you power it through the corners, but for many, we suspect, the comfort and economy of the regular drive mode will be more appealing. Boosting economy is a cylinder on-demand system which cuts the cylinders in use when you don't need them, as well as auto start stop. The result, according to Audi's figures, is that the RS7 will give you 28.8mpg on a combined cycle, which doesn't sound bad.
Priced as it is, the Audi RS7 at the basic level comes in cheaper than many of its high-performance rivals, without compromising on the power it offers. But the option, as our test model was equipped, quickly see the price climbing as fast as the rev counter. It is a great fun car to drive and there seems to be no end to the power, but we're not convinced about the looks, RS badge or not.

Renovations at Washington, D.C.'s Duke Ellington School of the Arts were initially estimated at $71 million, but over a period of three years, that price grew to more than $178 million. A new report made significant errors in planning the renovations, such as missing deadlines, underestimating costs, and failing to consider cheaper locations.
Industry News
Alexandria Community School Corp.'s next superintendent will be Melissa G. Brisco. She was previously assistant superintendent and chief academic officer for Wabash County Schools and Wabash City Schools. Brisco will succeed Alice Johnson, who has led the school system for the past six years.
The Washington Township School Board approved two referendums that, if passed by voters, would allow the district to add an elementary school, make renovations and hire staff to ease crowding. The two referendums would generate $185 million for renovations and construction and $6.5 million to pay current and any additional staff.
As lawmakers have debated a $617-million rescue plan for Detroit Public Schools, one sticking point has fueled controversy: Whether the city needs a commission to provide academic oversight of the district's schools and charter schools.
The biggest threat facing education today is inequality of opportunity, not school segregation. Closing the opportunity gap requires smart investments in technology to deliver cost-effective educational services to students in rural and city schools, and strategic partnerships with social entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations.
EarMaster is a new app for iPad that offers thousands of exercises for all levels that will train users to sight-read and sight-sing music; recognize intervals, chords, scales and melodies by ear; increase their rhythm and pitch precision; and more.
Recent events have produced sharp contrasts in how school resource officers—cops in the schools—are viewed locally, and their use in St. Paul and Minneapolis is now up for debate. If there is agreement, it's this: A resource officer should be more mentor, less enforcer, in dealings with students.
If we are going to train, motivate, inspire and recruit the next generation of leaders, workers and outdoor enthusiasts and continue to honor our natural heritage as both an economic engine and living treasure, then a solid foundation in outdoor and natural resource education is vital.
Gov. Sam Brownback ordered Kansas lawmakers back to Topeka on June 23 for a special session on school finance. The Kansas governor appeared to support a $38 million solution to the problem that threatens to close the state's schools in July—a position that may provide a path to compromise.
Ambition should be viewed differently in education than we do in business. If the best teachers always move into administrative positions and away from the classroom, their expertise and drive goes with them. The business-ification of education is causing us to forget the harm of our career decisions on our field's focus: students.
The New York City Education Department has a pattern of discrediting and punishing victims of sexual assault, particularly if they are black and poor, according to two complaints filed in recent days with the United States Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights.
The 4K UHD DLP ultra short throw laser projector displays a 100-inch image on a wall or screen from just two inches away. Optoma ZU510T WUGXA DLP laser projector also features 5,500 lumens and includes a fixed lens with horizontal and vertical lens shift.
As part of sweeping construction in the district, East Aurora school board members have approved building a new stadium. the district expects the new stadium to cost more than $6.6 million.
The Boston School Committee adopted a new water safety policy amid concerns over lead content. The updated policy will mandate annual testing of all active drinking water sources in district schools and could speed efforts to return students to drinking tap water instead of using water coolers.
Arkansas Connections Academy, the state's second virtual school, is scheduled to hold classes for the first time this fall. It will begin as a K9 school, and add the other high school grades one per year.

Snowmen and other snow sculptures are probably the best part of winter.
Scooped by
F. Thunus
onto Strange days indeed...
13 Coolest Yard Snow Sculptures
This article is about people, or several people creating something out of snow. One of the pictures is a shark that three brothers made. The sculpture is ten feet tall and took them about 95 hours to complete. Making a large sculpture was an annual tradition for this family. Another photo on Scoop.it was of a bed and night stand. It was about the size of a full bed. There was also a love sculpture. This was of a man and women. And the man was proposing to the women, on one of his knees. There were many more sculptures, but these three were a couple that stood out to me.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 420 reviews
I loved Toulouse, but the hotel was a bummer ..... However, it was close to all of the major touring spots.
The Crowne Plaza is a centrally located hotel which works for walking a lot of the city and convenient to the Metro. The staff is very smart and virtually everyone spoke English. Although the hotel rooms are up to date, the hallways are very dated and need new carpeting and furniture. A good value with great service.
We had an excellent stay. This is an excellent hotel with a lot of amenities, especially the breakfasts. It would have been nice to have had a refrigerator in the room, not just a mini-bar, but this was not critical. The location is right in the city center. We will stay there again if we have the opportunity.
Great hotel and a great location.
This hotel could not have been better. It was in a great location - right on a main square that was lined with shops and restaurants. The rooms were very updated and spacious - full bar in the refrigerator. Parking is difficult at the hotel, so try and call for suggestions if you have a car. The staff is extremely helpful and focused on your needs.

- While stock futures remain under tremendous pressure following the Brexit vote, gold miner shares are soaring in premarket action, as the added uncertainty in the global economy sparks a surge in gold prices.
- The Gold Miners ETF (NYSEARCA:GDX) +9.5% premarket, putting it on course to open at the highest level since July 2014; among GDX's components, Newmont Mining +7.7% toward a three-year high even though NEM derived 64.1% of its revenue over the last 12 months from the U.K., according to FactSet.
- Among other GDX members, Goldcorp (NYSE:GG) +7.5%, Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX) +9.6% and Yamana Gold (NYSE:AUY) +7.2%.
- Also premarket: KGC +8.9%, GOLD +11.6%, GFI +11.8%, RGLD +10.6%, HMY +11%, SBGL +12.4%, AEM +8.4%, SLW +5.6%, PAAS +6.1%, EGO +8.3%, NG +8.9%, IAG +8.4%, FNV +5%.

- Gold futures -0.8% at ~$1,284/oz. after weekend polls showed a higher likelihood that the U.K. would vote to stay in the European Union.
- "This is a market that's going to be very emotional this week" ahead of the June 23 referendum, says Peter Hug, global trading director at Kitco Metals, who believes that broader economic concerns and low interest rates will continue to support gold prices regardless of the Brexit outcome.
- Gold has risen 21% YTD amid worries over global growth and as the Fed has pushed back plans to raise short-term interest rates.
- Precious metals miners are among the biggest losers in early trading: ABX -3.8%, GG -2.4%, NEM -2.5%, AEM -1.6%, KGC -4.4%, SLW -1.7%, PAAS -2.7%, RGLD -0.8%, EGO -1.4%, NG -1.6%, GFI -4.8%, AUY -1.4%, IAG -1.8%, FNV -1%, HMY -2.3%, SBGL -2.6%, OTCPK:NCMGY -5%.

Mon, Apr. 11, 12:39 PM
- Gold miners are surging amid higher gold prices and a positive research note from RBC Capital, as the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX +4.9%) powers higher with all 39 of its equity components rising.
- Kinross Gold (KGC +6.9%) and AngloGold Ashanti (AU +4.9%) are upgraded to Outperform at RBC, citing valuation amid an increase in the firm's 2016 gold price outlook to $1,250/oz. from $1,150; the firm says KGC's production profile has improved with the 2015 acquisition of mines from Barrick Gold (ABX +5.6%) and the planned Tasiast expansion, while AU represents the most robust opportunity in its South African coverage, supported by a diverse, low cost asset portfolio.
- Goldcorp (GG +3.8%) is sharply higher despite RBC's downgrade to Underperform, as the firm believes shares trade at a significant premium to Tier 1 peers and management needs to re-establish investor confidence in operations and strategy.
- Also: NEM +5.7%, AEM +4.9%, FNV +2.9%, HMY +3.8%, EGO +7.9%, NG +7.6%, HL +4.4%, GFI +3.1%, GOLD +1.7%, SBGL +6%, SLW +4.2%.

Tue, Feb. 16, 3:49 PM
- Gold prices tumbled to their sharpest single-session loss since March 2015, based on most-active contracts, as investors turned more optimistic on the global economy after stock markets rallied and the European Central Bank said it stood ready to boost stimulus measures if needed.
- Adding to gold's decline was a report from Goldman Sachs commodities chief Jeffrey Currie, who said it is time to bet against the traditional safe haven as investor fears are overdone and do not justify the recent rally.
- "On net, fears around China, oil and negative interest rates have likely been overstated in the gold price and other financial markets," Currie says, doubling down on an earlier prediction that gold will slump to $1,100/oz. in three months and $1,000/oz. in 12 months.

- Gold stocks (GDX +7.8%) power higher as April gold futures jumped by $53.20/oz., or +4.5%, to settle at $1,247.80, the highest level since February 2015 and the biggest one-day dollar and percentage gain since September 2013, as investors sought safe-haven assets amid the global equity market rout.
- A growing universe of government bonds with negative yields has helped gold, while a lower U.S. dollar has made it cheaper for buyers in other currencies to purchase gold.
- Investor sentiment "seems to be thawing at the start of 2016, with a focus on gold's wealth preservation and risk diversification properties," the World Gold Council says.

Oct. 14, 2015, 2:26 PM
- Gold settles at three-and-a-half month highs, rallying $14.50 (+1.2%) to $1180/oz., as soft U.S. economic data and concerns over deflationary pressures in China add to expectations the Fed will delay any interest rate increases.
- Gold is gaining more ground in electronic trading after the Fed Beige Book release.
- The yellow metal's eighth gain in nine sessions has sent the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD +1.5%) past its 200-day moving average, and gold miners have ripped higher, as evidenced by this month's 18% gain in the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX +5.6%).
- Top mining stocks including Barrick Gold (ABX +7.9%), Goldcorp (GG +8.5%), Kinross Gold (KGC +8.3%), Gold Fields (GFI +5.4%), Newmont Mining (NEM +5.4%), Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM +5.7%), Silver Wheaton (SLW +6.8%), Yamana Gold (AUY +6.7%), Franco Nevada (FNV +5%), Randgold (GOLD +4.8%) and AngloGold (AU +5.6%) are all sharply higher.

Sep. 11, 2015, 2:39 PM
- Canadian and South African gold stocks slide as prices for the precious metal capped a third straight week of losses and the imminent re-balancing of fund portfolios adds to investor concerns.
- Two gold ETFs run by Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF - GDX and GDXJ - are expected to announce upcoming re-balancing changes after the close; both ETFs are on pace to close at their lowest levels since their respective formations in 2006 and 2009.
- The Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSEARCA:SIL) and PureFunds ISE Junior Silver ETF (NYSEARCA:SILJ) also are on pace for their record lows.
- KGC -3.2%, GG -0.5%, GFI -8.2%, AU -4.8%, BTG -5.2%, FNV -1.9%, EGO -0.2%, some of them paring larger earlier losses.

Jul. 20, 2015, 10:39 AM
- Several gold miner stocks strike new 52-week lows in early trading, as gold prices plunge below $1,100/oz. overnight and adding pressure to a sector that already faces razor-thin margins.
- Investors have turned sharply negative on gold as the U.S. dollar rises ahead of a likely rise in interest rates, and a report out of China shows lower than expected holdings of the metal.
- While most senior gold miners can generate decent margins at $1,100 gold, many small and mid-tier producers are underwater at the price, and some of the seniors are struggling with heavy debt.
- Hitting new 52-week lows today: ABX -9.3%, GG -7.7%, GFI -10.7%, KGC -9.4%, AGI -6.6%, AU -9.7%, SBGL -7.8%, BTG -9.3%, EGO -2.9%, NGD -8%, AUY -8.8%, RGLD -8.2%, FNV -6.8%, SLW -5%.

Jul. 17, 2015, 2:58 PM
- Barrick Gold (ABX -4.9%) sinks to 24-year lows in Toronto trading, leading a rout among bullion miners as the yellow metal extends its selloff to five-year lows.
- ABX is under particular pressure, as the fall in gold casts doubt on the company's strategy of shedding assets to pay down its $12.9B debt, as it "becomes harder and harder to sell those assets at any kind of reasonable value if metal prices are unwinding," Macquarie analyst Ron Stewart says.
- ABX reportedly is nearing a deal to sell its Zaldivar copper mine in Chile, and is looking for buyers for its 50% stake in its Kalgoorlie mine, among other properties.

- Energy and natural resources stocks are among today's weakest performers as a sharp increase in the dollar destabilized commodity markets.
- Nymex crude oil futures fell 2.8% to its lowest level in a week at $58.03/bbl, while Comex gold fell 1.4% to a two-week low $1,186.90/oz., as upbeat U.S. data on new home sales and consumer confidence helped lift the dollar.
- Adding to oil price weakness was commentary from Goldman Sachs expecting the global oil market to be oversupplied by 1.9M bbl/day this quarter, saying "the market now depends on how U.S. producers will respond to the recent rally and whether low-cost producers can sustainably deliver higher production."

Shaving for a cause
Relevant offers
When Beau Nicholson picks up the clippers, he's not only raising awareness for an important cause but is reminded of someone close to his heart.
The Henderson man lost his 20-year-old brother Dane in 1995 when he drowned swimming at a Te Atatu gym.
Dane had suffered an epileptic seizure - a side effect developed from the level of chemotherapy he received while battling leukaemia as a one-year-old.
The death of his older brother was an understandably tough process for Mr Nicholson, who was 17 at the time.
"It was pretty unreal and not what I grew up expecting," he says.
"We were quite different in a lot of ways but had a really close bond.
"We played a lot of backyard cricket and used to fight like most brothers do," Mr Nicholson remembers.
The 36-year-old will lose his locks on Friday when he takes part in Shave for a Cure to help Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand raise funds for further development in cancer research.
Shave for a Cure week runs March 17 to 23 where thousands of Kiwis shave their heads in exchange for donations.
Mr Nicholson hopes to raise $5000 and kind-hearted donors have given more than $2000.
The organisation aims to generate $1.75 million to help continue to fund services supporting patients and families living with blood cancer, including leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma.
Mr Nicholson says it would be great to one day live in a world free of cancer and is proud to help contribute toward better research.
"The more that's done, the closer we can get to prevention.
"Because Dane was so young at the time of diagnosis, doctors treated it with high doses of chemotherapy.
"He was only 17 months when he went through treatment and his doses were very heavy.
"Now they know there are side effects to that," he says.
Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand's communications manager Georgie Hackett says it's humbling seeing participants shave for a cure.
"Shaving is a brave thing to do and it's also very empowering.
"Participants are helping six Kiwis diagnosed with a blood cancer or a related blood condition every day," she says.
Shave for a Cure is in its 14th year and more than 1000 people have signed up so far.
Visit shaveforacure.co.nz, click donate and type in Beau Nicholson to give to the cause.
