Larry ellison wion the america's cup
Larry Ellison won the America's Cup on Sunday by following the same aggressive rules he has perfected in business: Push the envelope on technology.
The pugnacious Oracle CEO and the crew of his 114-foot, high-tech trimaran became the first U.S.-sponsored team in 18 years to win the world's oldest sailing trophy, after trouncing the Swiss Team Alinghi in successive races - the first was Friday - making a third event unnecessary in the best-of-three competition off the coast of Spain.
"It's an absolutely interesting feeling. I couldn't be more proud to be a part of this team," Ellison, who was on board for the race, told a TV crew on the scene moments after the BMW Oracle boat, dubbed USA-17, finished the second race 5 minutes and 26 seconds ahead of its rival.

President's day 2010-as a hoilly day
Shh! Don’t tell any auto dealers, school boards, or mattress salesmen, but today isn’t officially Presidents’ Day across the United States. The more accurate term would be “Washington’s Birthday,” according to the federal statute designating the third Monday in February in honor of the father of our country,
we celebrate president day as a hoilly day
we celebrate president day as a hoilly day
us president day
we celebrate the birthdays of our first president, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln — two superman who helped build our country and keep it together.
Presidents Day is not a holiday, but it is a federal holiday established to recognize Washington and Lincoln and reflect on our country top presidents.
