VANOC blows it again with their last chance, online Olympic ticket ordering scheme.  Saturday was the day for those brave enough to fork over huge amounts of money to see Latvia play Poland in hockey, or maybe a luge event.

It’s probably no surprise that many of the famous authors who appear on the bestseller lists today follow a specific publishing and promotional formula in order to get there. They know things that first-time authors don’t. They have access to distribution channels closed to all but the select few. They use cutting-edge strategies that even most publishers have never heard of. And they know people — insiders who are connected — and who can make bestsellers happen for ... Read Full Story
