20 years ago, Greg Gianforte and his wife drove their Ford Bronco filled with their three toddlers cross-country to Montana with the crazy notion that the internet might actually make it possible for them to work from anywhere, even Bozeman.

There they founded RightNow Technologies, a cloud-based software company, in an extra bedroom of their home in Bozeman. Under his leadership, the company grew to more than 1,100 jobs and an average Montana salary of $86,000. RightNow

served about 2,000 of the worlds largest consumer firms like Nike, Motorola and AMEX becoming one of the worlds 100 largest web sites in terms of traffic. Greg and Susan were at the Cottonwood Inn yesterday

Two Rivers Economic Growth sponsored a a telecommuting presentation by Greg and Susan Gianforte here in Glasgow.

Come home to Montana and bring your job with you

discussing to those in attendance how telecommuting works and could benefit our community. Today Montana has a high-tech sector with over 175 firms that are growing 8-10 times faster than the state economy. Plus, more and more national firms allow their employees to work from anywhere. Oracle alone has 800 jobs open that can be filled in Montana today. Eliminating a physical commute makes you more productive at home and work commute in your slippers! he said. Who wouldnt want to make Montana home again? Gianforte cofounded Code Montana, a free interactive program that encourages high school students to pursue computer science in college. The first-year goal was to have 1,000 students involved and currently there are more than 1,100 students enrolled. The new goal is 5,000 students by next spring. He is evangelizing the power of high tech business to improve the average pay across Montana, using his business plan for better jobs which takes a four-pronged approach: promote high-tech jobs, help entrepreneurs, create organizations to support businesses and prepare Montanas youth. Gianforte founded Bootstrap Montana, a program to help entrepreneurs learn the principles of bootstrapping and provide micro-loans to rural Montana entrepreneurs. He has also authored several books, including Bootstrapping Your Business: Start and Grow a Successful Company With Almost No Money, and has lectured on the topic at leading business schools worldwide.

Greater Sage-Grouse Listing Dilemma The time is rapidly approaching when the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has to do something or get-off-the-pot concerning listing the Greater sage-grouse under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). However, a reprieve may be in the making as Congress debates a bill that would postpone listing for another 10 years. I would bet the Service and their supporters are quietly lobbying hard for passage of this bill since it not only lets them off the hook (I will try to explain why this is desired) but it keeps in place their main club used to force others to carry out their agenda. The club is the THREAT of listing! How many times have you heard bureaucrats and/or politicians say, If we dont do this or pass this the Service is going to list the sage grouse? My contention has always been, if the sage grouse meets the criteria for listing (which I do not believe it does) then by all means list it and be done with it. The threat of listing has met with phenomenal success. Every government agency, political subdivision, and environmental organization and even some farm and ranch organizations have jumped on board

Letter to the Buzz forming countless working groups, advisory councils, administrative boards, etc, etc, to solve the sage grouse dilemma. Money has poured in. Incredibly, over a BILLION dollars have been spent on sage grouse during the last 20 years. So, other than bureaucrats spending thousands of hours cranking out reports, action plans, policies, recommendations, etc, etc, where did all these taxpayer dollars go? Agency personnel will tell you that most of the money that actually reached the ground was spent on protecting and improving sage grouse habitat. The term habitat refers to all the elements (abiotic-nonliving and biotic-living) in an animals environment or home. For terrestrial species it includes such things as soils, substrate, elevation, exposure, weather, climate, vegetation, diseases, and other animals. Unfortunately, many researchers only look at vegetation when discussing a terrestrial species habitat. The three main needs of a terrestrial animal are food, water, and cover. It is well known that sagebrush is a critical component of the sage grouse winter diet and most of the habitat money has been spent on protecting the existing sagebrush areas. Very little has been spent on other aspects of the sage grouses habitat. At present, lack of sagebrush does not appear to be the limiting factor causing sage grouse declines.

The other issue that has generated concern is cover. Cover refers to an animals protection from the elements (cold, heat, precipitation, wind, etc.) and escape from predators. Sage grouse inhabit the sagebrush/steppe biome that is characterized as short-grass prairie (emphasis on short!). Most research suggests predation is one of the main causes of mortality for sage grouse (West Nile virus is another one). The policy makers solution to the predation problem has been to recommend increasing the height and density of the vegetation to make it harder for predators to find the grouse. There are at least three main elements influencing the height and density of the vegetation on the plains. First is the natural growth pattern of the plants. Many grasses and forbs are low growing in this harsh environment. Grazing livestock and wildlife also have an impact. They reduce the height and change the species composition of a pasture. Better grazing management has resulted in spectacular range vegetation improvement since the 1930s. Lastly, the weather has a huge influence on vegetation growth rates and composition. Those of us living on the sagebrush plains marvel at the difference in vegetation a slight change in amount or timing of precipitation or temperature can produce. No two years are the same! Often the result is that the plants do not always listen to the standards and recommendations dictated by report-writing bureaucrats. The Service has three choices concerning listing the Greater sage-grouse under the ESA guidelines. They could list it as Threatened (I do not think they would go Endangered); determine listing is not warranted; or they could use the curious, bureaucratic, decision-avoiding, classification of warranted but precluded. The latter means they think sage grouse fit the criteria for listing, but they are not going to do anything because they lack time, money and intestinal fortitude. Here is the dilemma in which the Service finds itself. If they find the sage grouse populations are continuing to decline and warrant listing under ESA,

then all the time, money (remember its over a billion dollars!!) and conservation efforts expended so far have been a waste! Listing the sage grouse as threatened would be an admission that the emphasis on habitat (i.e. vegetation) was the wrong approach and a new direction is needed. If it is agreed that predation is a problem and if protecting the birds with more vegetation did not work, then what is left? As every common-sense rancher has been saying since day one -PREDATOR CONTROL! Most ranchers when faced with a problem or issue look at what worked and what didnt work. History tells us predator control worked! In the 1920s and 30s every raptor and cervid was shot on sight and all predatory mammals were trapped, shot or poisoned. The result was an explosion of the sage grouse population in spite of the fact the vegetation was very limited due to drought and over-grazing. The impact of the predator reduction on sage grouse populations lasted until the early 1970s. We all know the Service is not going to unleash a major predator control program (other than issuing a few permits to allow shooting a few ravens). So what will it do? I think they only have two choices left: declare the Greater sage-grouse unwarranted for listing or use their preferred bureaucratic cop-out and say it is warranted but precluded. By doing the latter they could claim the conservation efforts by the state and federal agencies are working and encourage them to continue pouring tax dollars and effort down the same rat hole. It should be obvious by now why the Service hopes Congress will pass the bill extending the listing decision on sage grouse for 10 more years. ~ Ron Stoneberg Box 37 Hinsdale, MT 59241(Ron Stoneberg has an MS in wildlife biology his thesis topic was grouse was a wildlife biologist for the state of Montana for approximately 30 years and has given a paper on historic sage grouse numbers at an international convention.)

Marbut: Will UM and Enviro Groups Return Tainted Wyss Cash? The University of Montana Foundation is investigating the extent of the relationship between the university and the Wyss Foundation. Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for the controversial American Prairie Reserve says the organization will not return any donations. This, after the breaking news this week concerning the sex abuse claims against the Swiss billionaire who funds several environmental groups here in Montana. As head of the Montana Shooting Sports Association, Gary Marbut has sparred over policy with several of the enviro groups funded by Wyss. Marbut says any group (like the Montana Wildlife Federation, Hellgate Hunters and Anglers, Trout Unlimited) that received money from Hansjorg Wyss should return the funds:

MARBUT: They should be challenged to either return the money or share the taint attached to the money. Its like Hillary (Clinton) accepting money from people who throw gays to their death from rooftops, and stone women to death for having been raped.

Questions are also being thrown towards The University of Montana, and the American Prairie Reserve (which has been buying out ranches in Eastern Montana).

The other day my I told my neighbor I would keep an eye on their two-year-old for an hour while they ran to the store. The little brat was having a temper tantrum. I decided to give him a flashlight because playing with it usually distracts him. It didnt. Instead, he hit me in the face with it as hard as possible, leaving a bruise. Yesterday, I ran over a beer bottle which popped my car tire, which then caused me to swerve into a police cruiser. Today, I cut down a dead tree in my yard. The top hit the ground and the base seesawed up in the air and came down on my head. I hit the ground like a sack of flour. Fortunately, the wood was rotted and soft. Unfortunately, the chainsaw was still running. 28 stitches in my calf. Ive about had it!

Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter. The pharmacist at the counter asked the older boy, Son, how old are you? Eight, the boy replied. The pharmacist continued, Do you know what these are used for? The boy replied, Not exactly, but they arent for me. Theyre for him. Hes my brother. Hes four. Oh, really? the pharmacist replied with a grin. Yes, the boy said. We saw on TV that if you use these, you would be able to swim, play tennis and ride a bike. Right now, he cant do none of those!

Question: What do you call a fat psychic?Answser: a four-chin teller.

A man wakes up at home with an awful hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table. Honey, breakfast is on the table, I left early to go grocery shopping. LOVE YOU! Totally shocked with the note, he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. He asks, Son, what happened last night? His son says, Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious. Broke some crockery, puked in the hall, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door. Confused, the man asks, So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me? I should expect to be in a big fight with your mother! His son replies, Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your clothes and shoes off, you said, LADY LEAVE ME ALONE! IM MARRIED!
