It was in late 1989 when Richard Hubbard purchased this '88 IROC-Z for the sole purpose of having fun and getting in some track time while retaining a balanced level of streetability. After all, with the third-gen being touted as the best-handling F-body right off the assembly line by the hard-core third-gen enthusiasts, this Camaro would be the perfect candidate for Richard's needs. Having a love for early and late-model muscle cars, the second-generation Chevrolet dealership owner is quite familiar with the '88 Camaro's handling capabilities, and on the flip side, he's certainly aware of its shortcomings.
With just 318 actual miles on the ticker, the car was sent out to the race shop (an area of the dealership dedicated to performance upgrades) where an aluminum Donovan V-8 and Doug Nash five-speed took the place of the stock mill and transmission. We believe Richard had every intention of getting the car out to the local autocross and road course, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), the car sat rooted in Richard's collection for the next 23 years without ever having the opportunity to strut its stuff on the track, or anywhere else for that matter.
In 2012, Richard felt the need to do a little "house cleaning" so he decided to sell off a few cars from his collection at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. The motionless IROC-Z would be part of the purging.
This is where Shaun Dove checks in. Shaun is a car guy through and through, so it was no wonder he and his dad were doing a little "car stalking" at the Scottsdale Barrett-Jackson Auction. Hip to the auction scene, the father and son duo weren't looking to hook a half-million-dollar Yenko or insanely rare '69 ZL1, but they did catch wind that the Hubbard group of cars included a big-horsepower third-gen, which they hoped to snag for a bargain.
Carrying a low lot number, they knew stout F-body would be auctioned off early on Friday as opposed to making a prime time appearance on Saturday night, so Shaun and his dad were counting on being able to nab what is commonly referred to in the industry as a "well-bought" vehicle—a car that sells for a lot less money than it would actually cost to build. Besides, compared to a rare first-gen … or any first-gen for that matter, third-gens have yet to command the amount of coin as their early predecessors.
They were pretty hot on the ride since it fit their needs perfectly: an exciting car they could field at some of the new crop of street car driving events that have been popping up the past few of years. "There aren't many guys running third-gens at these events," said Shaun. "So we figured we could shake things up a bit with this car. Third-gens handle great out of the box, and by having a good amount of horsepower, this thing should really kick some ass! On top of that, it will be a really fun car to drive on the streets, too."
Power? Yep. Sucking up 100-octane swill, the 410ci all-aluminum Donovan runs a dry-sump oiling system and belts out about 627 hp at 6,500 rpm and 598 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm.
Having yet to dig into the motor, Shaun informed us engine specs are a little on the light side, but we do know the stout combo features a modified Holley 850-cfm with dual power valves, and a K&N element hovers on top to inhale fresh atmosphere.
A 3-inch primary single to 2½-inch custom dual exhaust system inherits the turbulence manufactured by the 1¾-inch Hooker headers and relies on a set of Flowmaster 80 series mufflers to slightly wane the small-block's hostile tone.
More than capable of handling every ounce of grunt the Donovan can dish out, a Doug Nash five-speed transmission manages the gear changing, and 3.73:1 cogs and Detroit Tru-trac are housed in a Ford 9-inch rearend.

Is Internet Voting Inevitable?
How might the internet alter U.S. democratic institutions, including how Americans get information about and even vote for their public officials in general elections, has been the subject of much debate in recent months. Online voting is one of the most controversial aspects in this debate- a subject that began in March 2000 when the Arizona Democratic Party allowed for the first time remote Internet voting in its presidential primary race.
The prospect of being able to vote "in your pajamas," as its been described captured the imagination of political leaders, technology innovators, and voters around the world.
Is internet voting inevitable? Do you think people should be forced to assemble at polling places in order to cast their ballots? Is there benefits from entering the "public sphere?"
Oct 19 2013: I believe government should evolve as society does. In our era is only natural to apply our resources to meet the challenges we face. eComerce, eBanking, and virtually all other fields in our society have jumped to make use of the internet. It is a good infrastructure and can revolutionize politics. Internet already does much to share information (vital for a democracy), promote transparency in many issue; and voting should not be any different. I believe there is not just one way of making this change, but actually many good ways of achieving it. I personally think eVoting should be based on a open source secured platform. Transparency should one of the most if not the most important element to safeguard the integrity of the process.
Oct 21 2013: Thank you Jose for highlighting the fact that the Internet is already open source and that it is secure for banks. It would revolutionise democracy by making it more nibble (like flocks of fish or birds that are able to change direction at a moments notice to avoid pitfalls or retreat from overspendings or going to war on false pretenses). No matter what fear mongers say, I am sure manipulation of votes would be detected in open source software.
And, William Clegg, well said. This is a letter I sent 3 times to the President, trying to get him to realise this approach, to no avail:"I know the times are tough.
In tough times it is important not to miss the needle in the haystack, but this is the third same needle I have thrown you and I hope it floats up to you in time.
1/ There are a lot of people that have been out of work for over the legal time restrictions that impede them from coming out with new Ideas due to their previous employment.
2/ Companies are sitting on a lot more money(than the Government has and) than they know what to do with.
3/ YOU could really STIMULATE this down economy the way America became inventive, by offering FREE Patent Registration for whatever you feel is more important (I say everything...)
This would protect the cash strapped inventors from being robbed by Companies and those Companies would be clamoring to help get those good ideas to market and people would be ready for more efficient "Gadgets" and hence we would become more efficient. And for $800-$900 a Patent, what a deal...
Oct 24 2013: Well since democracy is a failure in all cases and it is inevitable it will fail here too why not make it even larger. The internet could destroy the world that way.Oct 19 2013: How about internet governing completely? Get rid of congress and senate and have people make and vote on their own laws. How could anyone lobby that?
Jimmy Strobl
Oct 19 2013: I sure hope so!
- +3
But for the US, not that big of a chance for it happening soon...
But in Sweden (where I'm at) there's a snowball starting to roll with a party called Aktiv Demokrati (Active Democracy), We vote about any/everything and majority rules. You can choose a representative and/or vote directly on any question 24/7.
So we use a form of Delegative democracy that's called Liquid democracy, Check to Youtube and/or Wiki to get a better understanding.
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg0_Vhldz-8
Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delegative_democracy
Oct 19 2013: Thanks so much for sharing the way you vote in Sweden. I really appreciate your story. Thanks for sharing more resources with the discussion.Oct 24 2013: Yeah we noticed the new Democratic Socalism at work there. What is it now? Guarenteed $2,900. US dollars a month for all citizens.
How many people did you have to rob for that Democracy?
Democracy is only the very worst form of government ever dreamed up.
MOB rules. Gotta love it when you are the minority and majority rules.
What if the majority wanted Shria law?
Oct 25 2013: Morter where are you from? Just curious. You brought up some interesting points.Oct 31 2013: Hey Morter,
Yeah, the Swiss have an upcoming vote on that, sadly I'm not Swiss...
I haven't robbed anyone...
I think that the current forms of democracy that exist in most places are very flawed, but that the basic idea is solid, with a liquid democracy and internet voting there would be so many upsides to society compared to any other that I've examined... What form of government do you prefer?
As I see it we have three basic choices on who rules whom.
1. No one rules anything - Total freedom or total anarchy, call it what you will.
2. Minority rule - It's basically what we have today, "we the people" don't really get our say in things... You're lucky minority doesn't rule because they want Sharia law and a whole other messed up stuff...
3. Majority rule - The way it's presented to be but isn't.
Can you name any examples of democracies with Sharia law?
Dave Kelly
Oct 17 2013: There is so much money and power involved, and the risk/reward is so great, that taking the step toward internet voting is only going to happen when those who control it feel they can make the switch and keep control.
- +2
Security and accessibility are issues that can be overcome, but only when those in control want them to be overcome.
Having said that, I do believe that we will see internet voting at some point in the future.
Amy Peach
Oct 17 2013: I completely agree! Security and accessibility issues will be resolved over time, but until those who have been able to maintain control are either exposed more clearly or decide they can continue to do so in this new medium, it won't happen.Oct 23 2013: I agree! The security concerns/issues can be overcome. At some point, we will have to evolve as technology advances.Oct 17 2013: The greatest level of accessibility should always be afforded to anyone that wishes to participate in civil society. The scapegoat of security, or that laziness may spring from the ease of speaking one's mind, should not be used to filter the voices of any citizen.
- +1
While there can be a benefit to entering the public sphere to vote, polling stations were created as a point of accessibility, not a public forum for information and discourse. The Supreme Court has consistently struck down any mechanism that would impair a citizen from voting. Internet voting awaits only viability. Our laboratories of democracy will be the proving grounds that pave the way toward a new level of accessibility for civic participation.
Oct 24 2013: Please show me a civil society on this planet!Oct 16 2013: There are a couple problems with this concept. First, we obviously have issues with security. Until some of the more fundamental security issues are addressed I don't think internet voting is viable.
Is internet voting inevitable? I want to say yes because it seems to follow the path of technological progression happening within our society. It may also be a good way to increase participation.
I think there are some other factors to consider. Increased participation isn't indicative of an increase in voter awareness. I believe we have a lack of informed voters. Internet voting may just aggravate that issue.
Internet voting may allow us to implement systems capable of educating voters as well. It would definitely be interesting. I just think there are a few obstacles that need some attention before internet voting is a reality.Oct 29 2013: Voting for somebody to represent me seems like such an anachronism.
Here in Washington state, we've been voting my mail-in ballot for years. A transition to online voting isn't a big stretch at all.
However, after watching the virulent minority of the Tea Party hold my country hostage for two weeks, I'm thinking that Congress has no business making budgetary decision at all.
Why can't I just tell the IRS where I want my tax dollars to go? That seems like the most democratic method.Oct 27 2013: As technology continues to rapidly develop the possibility of Internet voting becomes inevitable. Though their are still flaws within the system the pros outweigh the cons if executed properly and could potentially be very beneficial for our political system, encouraging and or allowing more people to vote, with easier accessibility. Likewise, hackers and educating the people on the new technology that is required to vote may cause issues and take time. Overall I believe it will be a step in the right direction to increase voter turn out and therefore enhance our democratic system allowing the people's voice to be heard and represented through the government.
Luke Cleary
Oct 27 2013: Internet voting is inevitable. Our society always tends towards fastest and easiest. Though there are certain threats present in Internet voting, there are an equal amount of problems with ballot voting and we will never have a perfect system. It will open up the vote to a much wider population and the will of the people will be more accurately reflected.

Tom Preusser
Oct 27 2013: Some 200 plus years ago when American Representative Democracy was set up it was a revolutionary idea, but strangely did not involve a lot of popular voting - ie the President was still elected by Electors chosen by state legislatures, and Senators were likewise elected by state legislatures. House Representatives were elected by popular vote, but only propertied white men could vote. The point here is that everything starts somewhere, not unlike "training wheels on a child's bicycle", and progresses as society progresses.
- +1
Judging on how far the internet has come in a mere 20 years of existence, I have no doubt that 200 years from now it will be a major factor in government. The Internet is the evolving "global brain", and it is inconceivable that government including internet voting will not be a part of it.
Internet voting will start with low risk augmentations to the existing voting systems to get us on the learning curve.
Once we get comfortable with the internet voting process, it will expand.
As an example of a low risk entre' to internet voting governments could consider starting with "advisory" referendums. Also consider that in the US at any given time on any given issue numerous polling entities publicize the results of scientific polls statistically accurate to within +/- 3 percent. If there is overwhelming support shown in an "advisory" referendum, and polls corroborate this within their statistical margin of error, then the results of the "advisory" referendum have credibility. All that remains is a mechanism to hold representatives accountable to the voters rather than money'd special interests.
At this point knee jerk libertarians scream tyranny of the majority, and I understand that. There are ways to minimize this in a well designed referendum and initiative system of government, and when done right this is preferable to tyranny by the big money dominated political elites. It is a big step toward political equality.
Oct 27 2013: Nicely presented Tom. Of course, by extrapolating your points a little further we should find that the politicians and the political parties they belong to disappearing and being replaced, possibly by people with real managerial abilities, namely employees that can be fired for incompetence and corruption unlike politicians. And there could well be different managers for different aspect of that governance, all with the responsibility of enacting the will of the people as decided by the online referendum system but with the power and authority for their governance remaining with the electorate.
As indicated below in another response, I believe that municipal governance is the ideal place to begin the learning process you talk about. :)Oct 29 2013: --Also consider that in the US at any given time on any given issue numerous polling entities publicize the results of scientific polls statistically accurate to within +/- 3 percent. If there is overwhelming support shown in an "advisory" referendum, and polls corroborate this within their statistical margin of error, then the results of the "advisory" referendum have credibility.--
Actually with just that in mind. How can someone pull out a win when polls had them behind and it appeared they often could no fill a house party. I would trust a centralized vote more then trunks full of ballots any day.Oct 27 2013: I think that as technology continues to advance from the point that it is already at, voting on the internet is inevitable. It has it's difficulties and problems that have to be kept in mind but I think it's the next logical step for the U.S. Even if it doesn't replace manual voting, it would become another option for people to vote more easily. It would help to increase voter turnout.Oct 25 2013: Internet voting solves the problem of people having to work or vote on election day. It could be especially effective in areas of high population density, since lines can be very long at times. It is definitely more than just an "alternate choice." Although I have no sympathy for lazy people who don't vote, it might encourage more people who normally don't vote to vote.
Oct 27 2013: I agree with you about the people who do not really care or have a grasp on the issues voting because it is convenient. If electronic voting was on an application basis, meaning that you had to apply for it with reason ex: you work late on Election Day, do you think it would better represent the people? Do you have any reasonable doubt that electronic voting will be unjust due to hackers? Or do you think that the US would realistically be able to control the entire process?Oct 25 2013: I believe the greatest advantage of online balloting is the empowerment of ordinary citizens to wrest control of their governing institutions from those with vested interests such as political parties and backroom dealmakers more commonly known as lobbyists.
The obvious place to start online balloting is with municipal and local issues. This is where people are more like to have an interest and will more likely want a say. The smaller populations along with the relatively small number of issues that communities deal with each year provides an excellent vehicle for becoming proficient users of the process.
Where I live local politics is often dominated by elected officials in the camp of local developers or boondoggle promoters seeking to foist their own interests on the community - just like in national elections - which invariably finds itself powerless to respond by the time we figure out what is going on.
Chris DeLong
Oct 24 2013: There are positives and negatives to internet voting. It would probably influence a better voting turnout but not everyone has a computer. Also not everyone is technologically savvy. Some people won't necessarily know how to vote online. But regardless of positives and negatives I think internet voting is inevitable because of such a high demand for everything to be online. Even things like college applications are preferred to be done online.

Oct 23 2013: Yes, some people are unable to get out of the house to vote or they are unwilling to wait a few hours just to vote. With the technology nowadays, it may soon become a thing.Oct 19 2013: Of course online voting is an inevitable consequence of the popularity of social media. And all the ranting about security issues is nonsense. The financial community moves trillions of dollars around the planet every day using the Net and there is no group more paranoid that they might be hacked than those that deal with money.
- +1
The greatest barrier to online voting will be the vested interests of the existing system and those who do not welcome change.
But the greatest advantage of online voting will be the opportunity for voters to eventually be able to speak directly to any fiscal change. That is to say, Direct Democracy is becoming more and more popular every day and online balloting allows the electorate to first discuss and debate the pros and cons of any fiscal issue and then to vote on it themselves. In this way the authority for how our tax dollars are spent will reside squarely in the hands of the taxpayers rather than political parties and backroom deal makers who infest practically every level of government these days.
A fundamental principle of the democratic process is that those being governed have direct input into that governance. Unfortunately the too easily corrupted representative system has been ignoring that basic fact for ages. Online balloting will finally empower those being governed to better direct that governance.Oct 18 2013: In Australia we still use ballot papers and pencils and manual counting. Many people complain about how low tech it is and how potentially inaccurate it is. eg A whole box of votes was lost in our latest federal election, 1000 votes almost not counted. Then I point out that one hacker could change 100,000 votes in a couple of seconds over the internet, and paper and pencil doesn't look so bad.
Oct 19 2013: Thanks so much for sharing the way you vote in Austria. I really appreciate your opinion. Thanks for sharingOct 24 2013: Thanks for one of the few voices of reason here!

Internet voting will be like everything else.
Just another way to count votes.
You won't even need pajamas, your cell phone
computer will work in the shower too,
Just soap up and vote.
Of course, the downside to peeking tom's is
that incarceration could be for 20 years.Oct 16 2013: Thank you for participating my AP students will be participating in this debate and I love the idea of already have global collaboration of this topic. Thanks for making learning "real."
Please let me know what state or country you are from (please reply to this post). My students are from New York and they will be participating in this discussion with a high school in Texas next week.
Joshua Bond
Oct 19 2013: In the U.K internet voting was suggested by the then Prime-Minister Tony Blair (in the general election of 2005, I think). But by this time he was so distrusted (especially after dragging us into the Iraq war despite 2 million people walking the streets in protest) that no one trusted him with the idea of internet voting. Even a paper vote is hard enough to ensure transparency. With internet voting it is virtually impossible - there are many points along the internet line that where the votes can be secretly changed by those in power, if they so wished.Nov 13 2013: If you think it, it will come.Nov 12 2013: It will become necessary. Biometrics will play an important role, and age will not be a determinate. As long as one can read, one can vote. If "Coco" can learn to read enough to respond with her own opinion, she should be able to vote as well. The current system is an epic fail as well as the corporate industrial complex.Nov 12 2013: I believe that internet voting will eventually be a reality. The biggest issue in regards to internet voting is the security, however I can guarantee that 25 years ago if you asked someone if nearly everyone would have online banking and bill pay, they would have responded with the same security issue, however today I'm not sure that I know anyone that does not participate in online banking. I believe that if banking can be done securely online, voting can be done securely online, and since one major issue in regards to voting is turn out, yet most people are online every day, I would imagine that voter turn out would be significantly increased by allowing voting to be conducted online.Nov 12 2013: I think that electronic vote, is more valuable and valid than ever.
- +1
To vote in PIjamas, not only for political matters, but for social stuff, like, streets, new buildings, health benefits, abortion, etc, would be good for the progress of society.
Of course, that is counting with certain level of preparation and literacy, which may not be easy to average or measure.
So, at the end, it would not matter the level of the society, since in it´s own principle, contemplates the disparity of opinions, literacy, knowledge and focus.
Thanks Melissa...Nov 11 2013: to me NO! well internet is almost everything to me and i am really happy with it!Nov 8 2013: No. However, "non-precinct" voting may be, once identification bugs get worked out. Of course, either method will require proper identification for all voters...Nov 8 2013: Short answer - probably; however just because we may at some point in the not too distant future be able to vote via the internet, it doesn't automatically follow that more people will vote.
It seems to me that the reasons why, especially in the UK and USA, that voting turn outs are so low, and falling is that the wider population is disenfranchised from the political system.
Politicians irrespective of their political bias, increasingly seem to have less and less in common with the people that they are supposed to be representing and defending. Their decision making processes are "short-term" and designed to get them re-elected and often have very little to do with the national "greater good".
Until such time as the political elite and ruling classes get their act together and show them selves through their conduct as being deserving of our vote, I think fewer and fewer people will exercise their right to vote, no matter how easy the voting process may become.Nov 2 2013: With the internet as it exists today, I hope not. The attack surfaces for the democratic process would be numerous and incredible.
To be fair, voting machines come with their share of bugs and backdoors. For anyone who's interested, security professionals gave a presentation at DefCon after their investigation of Diebold voting machines - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpoYDuGtD1oOct 31 2013: I choose not to vote on the issue of internet votingOct 30 2013: Melissa, Could you give a brief summary of how this went and suggestions to others who may like to follow in a class project. Also how did the interface with Texas go.
Thanks, Bob.
Oct 29 2013: I'd doubt it. No computer system is secure. Imagine the havoc hackers could wreak. People could control governments through a single computer. Any country that did this would be leaving themselves open to corruption and terrorism. Things like this should stay physical.

Oct 30 2013: Today's lotteries are done by computers and they have complex security with backward traceable threading because when it comes to money no one wants that stuff lost. Financial threading is a technique of having multiple paths through the data each vindicating that it's been accounted for.
For example if you were to send your vote to the voting precinct it would assign you the next number let's say you were 703rd person to vote then this number would be sent to the candidate-A which would mark you as the 43rd person that voted for her then both numbers would be sent back to you. Forever connecting 703 vote with the 43 vote for candidate-A. Some other person would get into those queues and get the subsequent numbers. The candidate is going to know how many votes they have received (as they happen) because they have doled out the numbers. The precinct is going to know how many numbers it has doled out as well. This is a very simplistic view but at least it demonstrates that it's hard to modify the sequential numbers especially when these numbers have also been sent to the state and perhaps even higher where they can attach accountable numbering as well. So every level is aware of every number being doled out (inter joined) and in fact every step can be back traced in actual order it took place. The only technical problem left is to verify that you are the person about to vote.Oct 29 2013: Internet voting is inevitable in my opinion. I belive that it will go a long way to increasing voter turnout. Allowing voters to vote at their own convinience during the day will attract far more voters, as they won't be constrained by obligations on a Tuesday. I do think that it is necessary to retain the traditional forms of voting, for those who cannot access the internet to vote.Oct 28 2013: Internet voting is inevitable. Democrats and Republicans can agree that Internet voting is extremely likely for the future of America's election process. It is not a matter of IF it will happen, but rather WHEN it will happen. Although it is bound to happen, should internet voting being the only option? No. I believe that Americans should not be forced to do anything concerning voting. Voting is a basic American right. If citizens are forced to vote at the polls or forced to vote online, it takes away the basic right of choice. Although internet voting is inevitable(and in my opinion an interesting concept), citizens should have the right to cast their ballots by other means. They should not be restricted to a single voting method.Oct 28 2013: Because technology is such a major part of our lives today, it's very likely that we will use some form of internet voting at sometime in the future. But even though it's easier, it poses a lot of threats to the security of people's votes. People can't be sure if there vote went through correctly, and there is always the possibility of being hacked. It also needs to be taken into consideration those people who don't have access to the internet, or don't use the internet. The older voters would oppose this idea while it would be more accepted by the younger generations. I personally don't like the idea of internet voting because there are so many things that could go wrong in the voting or counting process, and it would honestly complicate, an extremely complicated system, further.Oct 27 2013: Although internet voting has the ability to greatly increase Americas voter turnout, there are so many factors that will prevent people from voting online. These factors include the lack of security and the inaccesability to cast their vote from an electronic device. When dealing with the worldwide web, it is not exactly easy to protect your personal identity. Secondly, a large margin of the older population is not familiar with today's technology and therefore internet voting is of no use to the elderly home bound. Conclusively, while online voting could open the eyes of Americans to a whole new world, the funding required for such an idea is not available, especially if many are not going o take advantage of the new opportunity.Oct 27 2013: Before internet voting can become an effective and reliable method of voting, flaws, such has security, and people's concerns have to be worked out first. In the future though, internet voting will most likely become inevitable due to society's increasing dependence on technology. Internet voting will make it more convenient for people to vote during the work week and would give individuals the chance to vote who had difficulties prior to internet voting. College students and the youngest voting generation, which has the lowest voting participation, will receive the greatest benefit from internet voting because voting would become more convenient while away from home and they would adapt to it easily since they have grown up with modern technology.Oct 25 2013: I think Internet voting is inevitable but a lot of the kinks need to be worked out before a lot of countries accept it. Especially in the US where the polling system works mostly well, it will take a long time before Internet voting is effectiveOct 25 2013: I think Internet voting is inevitable eventually, because it will make voting more accessible, especially for people working multiple jobs or have long shifts, as well as people who are traveling. At a time when voter turnout is so low, this could be the key to ensuring more people are able to vote. However, I do believe that it may take a while before it takes hold, because of all the skepticism about security and the huge financial costs.Oct 25 2013: I'd say that Internet voting is inevitable since we live in a society which values convenience. Despite the risks involved with electronic voting, including potential hackers, I expect it to be an option for the entire country eventually. There seem to be a number of security issues to iron out.

Oct 25 2013: I feel that Internet voting is not exactly inevitable. It seems likely that, due to the way our nation is technologically advancing, Internet voting will become a prominent part of our society and governmental structure. However, this does not mean it is destined or unavoidable. Personally, I feel that it is dangerous and unreliable. No matter how much time and money is put into technology, problems occur. This was reiterated by our guest speaker, who explained that the countries who have already implemented voting have experienced a lot of difficulty with its processes. I would love to see Internet voting work flawlessly, as it would most likely increase voter turnout considerably, but I am skeptical as to how this is possible.Oct 25 2013: I believe voting is inevitable because of the expanding and constant use of technology. It has its pros and cons. It could be very beneficial is increasing the amount of people who vote. However, there is the possibility of people being able to hack in and alter the results.Oct 25 2013: Internet voting is inevitable in the current age of technology. It proves to be more efficient and increases voter turnout greatly because of the fact that is can be done from home or from a mobile device. As our country becomes more revolutionary in the age of technology, Internet voting will become more and more popular. Although, some may not like it, it proves to be a major step foward in the progression of political participation in our country.Oct 25 2013: I think Internet voting is inevitable. There are many problems with it because it is still a very new thing. Older people may not like it because they just don't know how to work it. College students may very well like it though, especially if they aren't going to college in their home state. It eliminates the need for absentee ballots.Oct 25 2013: Internet voting is a really interesting and modern concept. I think that this type of voting could be an important step in more political focus on the Internet. Although not flawless, I think that the pros outweigh the cons if done effectively.Oct 25 2013: I do believe that it will inevitably become an option for voting, but I don't think that it will become the primary method. I still think there are too many flaws with it right now for it to be as effective as desired. I do think that there will always be the option to vote in person for everyone that doesn't trust the Internet voting or cannot figure out the internet voting. Personally I think it is a good idea once all the kinks are worked out, but I don't think it should be the only option.Oct 25 2013: I would bet that opposition to Internet voting would be large at first. Eventually though, the Internet process will make voting easier and more accessible. The more companies that come out with Internet voting the more democratic countries around the world will adopt this process. Internet voting would probably make things easier.Oct 24 2013: Just to re-iterate:
- 0
all the chatter about security issues is nonsense, it is a red herring. The financial community moves trillions of dollars around the planet every day using the Net and there is no group more paranoid that they might be hacked than those that deal with money.
The greatest barrier to online voting will be the vested interests of the existing system and those who do not welcome change.
Oct 25 2013: There are regular scams in financial transfers. Millions of dollars go missing every day, but do so in very subtle ways. If internet voting is to occur it will need to start at a local level and work its way up. Otherwise you will have one massive internet vote every four years, so the hackers will have four years to work out how to minipulate the result. As you say banks etc are using the net 24/7 and have full time security staff but they still get hacked.Oct 25 2013: Voter fraud is an unfortunate reality, even though it is not widespread in America (except Chicago!), those who do it will no doubt target online voting, just as they do with the conventional system.Oct 30 2013: Glad to hear that security is a red herring ... I can stop worrying about NSA now ... the internet is secure.Oct 24 2013: People stop singing the praises of Democracy! It is just one step away from the worst of the worst forms of government and always devolves into something horrible.
Oct 24 2013: This is a little bit too shortsighted too in my opinion. I personally think the current "democracy" as in the US and my own country (Netherlands) is very far from ideal. We have mostly managers as politicians, who don't real have an ear for the voice of the majority of the citizens who call for a bit more equality. Switzerland is doing a bit better, with direct democracy..
Esentialy the best form of government is one that can evolve and adapt to the needs of all (innovate governance!) . Europe seems to aim for that just so: http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/futurium/en/content/connecting-futurium-research
Join that event (possibly online) if you are living in europe and truly interested in policy making.
Would love to hear a talk about Futurium..
You made me think of this talk:
http://www.ted.com/talks/eric_x_li_a_tale_of_two_political_systems.htmlOct 24 2013: Internet voting is inevitable; it gets more people to vote because of it being easily accessible. That's good for the society to be a part of things, and even if they wanted to take it away I think the people would eventually make it internet accessible considering the internet is becoming a part of most things we do now.Oct 24 2013: Of course voting on the internet has its advantages and disadvantages, as every conflict does. I believe we should not be allowed to vote over the internet, for the simple fact so many people now are more technologically advanced and could easily hack the system. As if you go to a public poll (like we've had to for years) the state is assured it was a fair vote. Why change something that has been the same for years? What is wrong with going to a public poll right down the road? I understand technology is more advanced now, but so are the people, which makes it more easy for the system to be hacked, or for people to illegally vote.Oct 24 2013: Internet voting may seem inevitable, but there would have to be a lot of security precautions and there are a few flaws in it . Having access to the internet usually requires owning a computer or smartphone of some sort, which could be argued that it would be a poll tax. The only way this could work is if there is an option to still go somewhere to vote, because if not , it is unconstitutional.
Oct 24 2013: This security issue is nonsense, a red herring. The financial community moves trillions of dollars around the globe every day and there is no group that is more paranoid of hacking then the money traders.
In Canada even the homeless have free accessible internet access through our libraries and there may be no more important segment of the population that deserves voting accessibility than the indigent and disadvantaged.Oct 24 2013: Our society has become dependant on technology, and our lives are consumed by it. So yes, I do think internet is inevitable, because so many people want to implement it and think it will be easier and do so much good.
However, I do believe people should have to go to a polling place to cast their ballot, because the voters that go out and vote are the ones who are atleast someone educated in it. They should also go out and vote because of security reasons, I believe voting through the internet is not secure enough, and anyone could hack into the system and mess it up.
Sure, there are some benefits to internet voting--a higher voter turnout, but that is the only major benefit I can think of.
I see internet voting as having more detriments. Anyone could be "voting." The people turning up online who would not originally go out to the polls will most likely just click a person and be done with it. The internet is dominated by people trying to hack it and it is not secure enough for a process that should be more, for lack of a better word, important.
Oct 24 2013: I just kind of worked off of yours, i find your comment among others the most well thought outOct 24 2013: Even though I think of internet voting being a good thing over all, you make a very good point as to how internet voting could be easily tampered and how the people using that voting method could lack more knowledge than ones who would normally go out to a polling places.Oct 24 2013: Internet voting definitely has it's advantages, as well as disadvantages, but it is inevitable. Most people now own computers, and it is much easier to go online and vote than it is to go to a polling place. Though it is easier and probably a lot faster, it may also cause voting fraud and possibly miscounting of votes, Either way, with the advances in technology, Internet voting is inevitable.Oct 24 2013: Yes! Inevitable. However, it may be eclipsed by the rapidly declining faith in the actual value of the Vote itself. Crossing trajectories I think......

I plead the Second against Bob Costas
I like Bob Costas. He's one of the best in his field.
Sunday night on NBC, he proved his field is not editorializing on gun control. Unfortunately, he chose half time of the Eagles-Cowboys game to express his opinions prompted by the murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs' Jovan Belcher. Sorry Bob, but that was the wrong place and time for the use of your pistol-pulpit.
It reminded me of those embarrassing moments during awards shows when a recipient chooses to make social commentary instead of offering a simple "thank you."
Costas added fuel to the fire when he said, "If Jovan Belcher didn't posess a gun, he and his girlfriend would be alive today."
So what would have prevented Belcher from legally purchasing a gun? He had no police record and no history of mental illness. Should we have created legislation preventing the sale of firearms to linebackers?
Listen, that kind of position only enhances the Charlton Hestons and Ted Nugents of the world and I firmly believe there are too many of those and too many handguns.
But badly presented editorials by respected personalities, like Bob Costas, are not helping.
I'm Pat McMahon.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
"No business plan survives first contact with customers," Steve Blank says. What? Isn't the point of planning that you maximize the likelihood of success in the marketplace? Well yes, but perhaps not the kind of planning you might be thinking about. A business plan conceived on paper, powered by a great idea or invention, enhanced by research on the size of the market and a customer profile, has great potential. But it also has a crucial flaw.
When I read Meg Hirshberg's book "For Better or for Work: A Survival Guide for Entrepreneurs and Their Families" I knew instantly that I wanted Meg to join our slate of Founders School experts. The goal of Founders School is to provide entrepreneurs with crucial skills and knowledge, and to do so with an eye to topics that are important but rarely discussed in typical entrepreneurship education programs. The subject of Meg's book is just such a topic. We all know that entrepreneurs have to juggle a variety of considerations when founding a company: team building, assessment of product/market fit, intellectual property, and how to get that first important customer. What many entrepreneurs and, more importantly, their families, know is that there's a juggle on the family side of the equation as well, but it's one that many entrepreneurs may be reluctant to talk about.
Once you've heard the insight--that startups are different from big companies--it seems so obvious. Yet too often entrepreneurs, and those that teach them, approach the building of new companies with the same goals, staff structures and assumptions that motivate the management of large companies. Startup founders build teams to focus on engineering, and on the process of creating a product and bringing it to market.
Some of the very first decisions founders must make early on in their ventures are crucially important to the future of the business. Many of these decisions concern the ubiquitous "people problems" that challenge even experienced entrepreneurs. When should I found? Should I co-found with someone? With whom? How should we split the equity? Bad or ill-informed choices at critical junctures could have significant consequences for startups. In fact, research has suggested that 65 percent of new firm failures were related to problems within the management team.
Leaving presentations to chance is like embarking on a trip without a map (hat tip to Amanda Schnieders for the metaphor). If you don't know where you're headed and how you'll get there, you may not reach your destination.
During my years at the Kauffman Foundation I have seen firsthand the effect that education can have on the development of entrepreneurs and their companies. The entrepreneurs with whom I have worked have taken the lessons they have learned and applied them to great effect in their endeavors as founders. These entrepreneurs benefited from opportunities to learn critical skills, and from gaining an understanding of crucial decisions or junctures that often can derail entrepreneurial businesses.
Our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman, once said: "It's your right to be uncommon if you can. You seek opportunity to compete. You desire to take calculated risk, to dream, to build, yes, even to fail, and to succeed". He was talking to entrepreneurs: those people who create new ventures, building visions into reality. Indeed, entrepreneurs are uncommon in many ways. They create something from nothing. They see problems (and solutions) that others might not. They take personal and financial risks.
The Kauffman Foundation recently released a set of papers reflecting on the entrepreneurship activities taking place on campuses around the country. One of the things we have learned from the Kauffman Campuses, a program that encouraged interdisciplinary entrepreneurship education programs to discuss common practices and challenges, and from a group of experts we convened from entrepreneurial campuses around the country is that students are taking the initiative on campuses across the country, creating opportunities for themselves, and others, to engage in entrepreneurial opportunities.
Entrepreneurship is flourishing on campuses around the country. In classrooms and through co-curricular programs and competitions, students on diverse campuses, at universities large and small, representing disciplines across the spectrum, have the opportunity to understand the role of entrepreneurship in the economy, explore innovation, test their own ideas, and learn what they need to know to be entrepreneurs.
In a matter of weeks colleges and universities across the country will be teeming with students. A new school year will bring the excitement of new discovery, opportunities to meet new people, and the anticipation of learning. On these campuses students will also find a vast array of opportunities to explore entrepreneurship.

Pronounced: AL-em-TOOZ-oo-mab
Classification: Monoclonal antibody
Alemtuzumab is a synthetic (man made) antibody directed against a protein called CD52, found on the surface of some cells. Antibodies, which are normally found in the body, are developed by the immune system to destroy foreign material (such as a germ). In this case, Alemtuzumab is drawn to white blood cells that have the CD52 protein on them. These include normal and malignant (cancerous) B and T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, monocytes, macrophages, and some tissues of the male reproductive system. The drug binds to the surface and causes cell death. Some of the side effects of Alemtuzumab are caused by the treatment's effect on normal cells.
Alemtuzumab is given by intravenous (into a vein) infusion, over two hours. Generally, a dose is given three times a week. The first few doses are typically given in a dose-escalation format, until the recommended dose is reached. This means that on the first day of treatment you are given a very low dose. If you don't have any serious side effects, you will be given a slightly higher dose the following treatment day, and so on. Most patients are able to reach the recommended dose in 3 to 7 treatments. Treatment tends to last for about 12 weeks total.
You will receive acetaminophen (Tylenol) and diphenhydramine prior to the infusion to prevent a reaction. Most patients will also be given medications called Bactrim, to prevent pneumocysitis pneumonia (PCP), and famcyclovir, to prevent herpes infection.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Alemtuzumab. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
The infusion can cause a reaction that may lead to chills, fever, low blood pressure, nausea and vomiting. You will receive Tylenol and diphenhydramine prior to the infusion to help prevent these reactions. Some patients will also receive a steroid before the infusion to prevent a reaction. Reactions are most common during the first week of therapy, including the evening after the infusion. Your doctor or nurse will tell you what to do if this happens.
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4 F), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the platelet count is low, you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nosebleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If the count becomes too low, you may be given a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
While on cancer treatment you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team and see OncoLink's section on fatigue for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Your doctor or nurse can recommend medication and other strategies to relive pain.
Visit OncoLink's section on Nutrition for tips on dealing with this side effect. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
Abdominal pain, cough, rash, and itching.

When you have hypochondria, you become obsessed with the idea that you have a serious or life-threatening disease that hasn't been diagnosed yet. This causes significant anxiety that goes on for months or longer, even though there's no clear medical evidence that you have a serious health problem. Hypochondria is also called hypochondriasis.
While having some anxiety about your health is normal, full-blown hypochondria is so consuming that it causes problems with work, relationships or other areas of your life. Severe hypochondria can be completely disabling.
Although hypochondria is a long-term condition, you don't have to live your life constantly worrying about your health. Treatment such as psychological counseling, medications or simply learning about hypochondria may help ease your worries.
Hypochondria symptoms include:
Not everyone who worries about health problems has hypochondria. Having symptoms caused by something you and your doctor can't identify clearly can cause anxiety. In some cases, a second opinion or further tests may be in order.
However, if you start to search for ailments that seem to match your symptoms, chances are you'll find something. Minor ailments often share symptoms with more-serious disorders. It's become easier to search out health information on the Internet in recent years. Having easy access to information about every possible thing that could be wrong can fuel your anxiety.
There's nothing wrong with informing yourself. Being an active participant in your own health is an important part of staying well. However, you may be crossing the line into hypochondria if you're consumed by the idea that something is seriously wrong even though you've had appropriate tests and reassurance from your doctor that everything's OK.
If you have signs and symptoms of hypochondria, consider talking to a mental health provider such as a psychiatrist, psychologist or licensed counselor. You may decide to take the step yourself or a family member may suggest that you seek help. At some point, a doctor, nurse or other health care professional may suggest that you visit a mental health provider.
It may seem to make no sense to visit a mental health provider when you're certain that you have a medical disease. But try to keep an open mind. Be willing to consider the possibility that your worries are based on your emotions rather than fact. Listen to the opinions of your family members and friends.
Even if you don't have all of the symptoms of hypochondria, it's not a bad idea to talk to a mental health provider about your health worries. Hypochondria or not, ongoing worries about your health can make you miserable. Seeing a mental health provider for health anxiety may help.
If you have a loved one with signs and symptoms of hypochondria, have an open and honest discussion about your concerns and the things you've noticed. You may not be able to force someone to seek help for a mental health problem, but you can offer encouragement and support. You can also help your loved one find a qualified doctor or mental health provider and make an appointment. Offer to go to an appointment with him or her.
It's not clear why some people are overwhelmed by the misguided perception that they have a major, undiagnosed health issue. It's thought that personality, life experiences, upbringing and inherited traits may all play a role.
There are similarities between hypochondria and anxiety disorders such as panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Factors that may increase your risk of developing hypochondria include:
Hypochondria occurs about equally in men and women. It can develop at any age, even in children, but it most often starts in early adulthood.
Complications of hypochondria can include:
Hypochondria can be overwhelming and disabling. You may become so obsessed with finding a cause for your physical symptoms that it affects your daily life. You may frequently miss work or school. Your health may be all that you can think about or talk about, which can frustrate family and friends. Common problems linked to hypochondria include:
You may start by seeing your primary health care provider. Or, you may go directly to a mental health provider on your own. But if you're like most people with hypochondria, you have a hard time believing that your symptoms and health anxiety could be psychological in nature. But try to keep an open mind and understand that if multiple doctors can't find an underlying health problem, then you may indeed have hypochondria.
Being an active participant in your care can help your efforts to manage your condition. One way to do this is by preparing for your appointment. Think about your needs and goals for treatment. Also, write down a list of questions to ask. These questions may include:
In addition to your prepared questions, don't hesitate to ask questions at any time during your appointment.
During your appointment, your doctor or mental health provider is likely to ask you a number of questions about your mood, thoughts and behavior, medical appointments and procedures, and symptoms that make you think you have a serious illness. You may be asked such questions as:
If your doctor or mental health provider believes you may have hypochondria or another psychological condition, he or she will likely ask a number of questions or have you fill out a psychological questionnaire. If your doctor or mental health provider is concerned that your symptoms could be a sign of physical illness, he or she may order medical tests.
These steps can help pinpoint a diagnosis by ruling out other problems that could be causing your symptoms and checking for any related complications.
Exams and tests may include:
To be diagnosed with hypochondria, you must meet the symptom criteria spelled out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This manual is published by the American Psychiatric Association and is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
Symptom criteria required for a diagnosis of hypochondria include:
Treatment for hypochondria can include psychological counseling, education and medications.
In most cases, hypochondria won't get better if you try to treat it on your own. But you can do some things for yourself that will build on professional treatment:
Your hypochondria may never completely go away, but you can learn how to cope with your health anxiety so that it doesn't disrupt your life.
Consider these coping measures:
There's no sure way to prevent hypochondria. Get help as soon as possible if ongoing concerns about your health are getting worse, are making you unhappy or are causing problems. Addressing hypochondria early can reduce its impact on your life.

Oregon woman arrested after high-speed chaseBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | February 12,2013Anthony Edwards / Staff Photo
Margaret Perry, of Portland, Ore., is arrested in Pittsford on Monday after fleeing from officers following a previous traffic stop, according to police.Police say they didnt even try to keep up with a car that allegedly fled at speeds in excess of 80 mph north on Route 7 on Monday afternoon.
With the speeds and the wetness on the roads it was too dangerous, Rutland Police Sgt. James Tarbell said. I saw a video of the chase and all you could see of the car were the rooster tails it was sending up.
But police say they eventually caught up with the vehicle and the driver anyway thanks to a tip from a motorist who told police the white Ford rental car turned onto Furnace Road in Pittsford.
Tarbell said the car was found not far from the entrance to the Vermont Police Academy hidden behind an electrical substation with the driver, Margaret Perry, of Portland, Ore., huddled down in the drivers seat.
Perry was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, attempting to elude police and gross negligent operation of a motor vehicle. Bail was set at $10,000 for Perry who remained at the Rutland jail Monday afternoon.
Police say Perry was initially stopped for driving 13 mph over the speed limit on North Main Street in the city where the posted speed limit is 35 mph.
That infraction could have amounted to a traffic ticket, but police say the situation quickly escalated.
The officer who stopped Perry, Lt. Kevin Geno, said that as he was stepping out of his cruiser, Perry exited the car and began shouting at him.
Tarbell said Geno had to push the woman away to have some space between them. It was unclear what prompted the outburst, he added.
She was completely out of control, Tarbell said. She asked to be shot a couple of times.
The confrontation ended suddenly when Perry allegedly climbed back into her car and drove away at a high rate of speed.
Tarbell said Geno decided to quit his pursuit out of concerns about his safety and the risk to other drivers on the road since Perry was allegedly passing vehicles on the wrong side of the road and taking other risks to elude pursuit.

op Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight contender, Rory MacDonald, got a round of high-fives and a couple of bro-hugs following his unanimous decision win over Jake Ellenberger last Saturday night in the co-meh event of UFC on FOX 8 from the KeyArena in Seattle, Washington.
After all, he fought a "great fight."
True, no one in "Emerald City" was awake to see it -- including UFC President Dana White -- but fellow Tristar teammate and UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre was glowing with praise, while also shutting down "The Juggernaut" for not being in a "Rush" to engage.
GSP gives it to The Canadian Press (via TSN):
"He shouldn't care about the critics. You don't brawl with a brawler. It was up to Ellenberger to open up and take more risk because he was losing and he didn't. Rory fought a great fight and even made it look relatively easy."

Kiki Smith Extra Credit- Brett Westgor
Kiki Smith is one of the weirdest artists I've ever heard of. Even during her interviews, there is an ambient type of music that plays in the background. Kiki Smith grew up in New Jersey but was born in Nuremberg, Germany in 1954. Her father was an American sculptor named Tony Smith. When she was a young child, she helped her father make cardboard models for his artwork. Now to this day, Kiki Smith creates many different sculptors, drawings and prints. What I really like about her artistic view is that she creates stories in her artwork. What grabs my attention about these creations is not only the story behind the work but the way it is told inside out. She likes to tell stories involving death, organs, cellular forms and the human nervous system. She has done work about dead animals like crows, as well as her own dead cat. I find this hard to swallow because the subject of death can be very depressing and to create a piece of art that involves a death in your life (ex: her dead cat), I feel that it would be too much negativity from the past to hold on to. Yet, she does not always involve her personal life with her art work. Kiki Smith has received many awards and medals for her work including the Skowhegan Medal for Sculpture in 2000. The amount of work put into her projects is huge and she seems to be one of the best (yet strangest) artists I've ever heard of. I would love to see her artwork in the future. To this day, Kiki Smith lives and works in New York city.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
There is no shortage of well-educated people in academic environments. But the challenge is in turning the attention of those bright minds to entrepreneurship. Here are a few ideas on how to do it.
What's the most valuable aspect of your business? Is it the bricks and mortar? The equipment? Or is it something intangible? While you can't touch it, feel it or see it, intellectual property when defined as "knowledge" or "know how" is often times the real equity of a business, and if it's lost, it can bring that business to its knees.
Every Thursday evening in downtown Pittsburgh, something special happens at Little E's Jazz and Blues Club. During happy hour each week, entrepreneurs get together to tap into what's hot in the Pittsburgh start-up arena. Over drinks and cool jazz, they have the opportunity to interact and create relationships with potential financiers, university incubators, economic development thought leaders and other business stars.
Baby boomers are micromanagers, work hard, do not understand technology, are stubborn and want to destroy the planet. Millennials are lazy, entitled, tech savvy, want to save the world and don't know how to communicate in person. Although the generalizations of baby boomers and millennials vary, they do share one similar characteristic, they both share particular entrepreneurial characteristics. Millennials crave freedom and earning potential. Baby boomers have a desire to build something.
When one thinks of Mexico City, startup companies would not normally be at the top of anyone's mind. But, I had the chance to spend a few hours with some of the local entrepreneurial organizers there last week and was very impressed with what I saw.
Can you guess where the follow startups were founded-- GameStop, Woot, Words with Friends, SOFTLAYER? Probably Silicon Valley, right? No. How about Boston? Wrong again. I'll give you a hint: it's the fourth largest media market in the country, home to 18 Fortune 500 companies and boasts two major airports, serving as headquarters for two major airlines. Sounds like a pretty good place to start a company, right? Dallas, and the surrounding area called the "Metroplex", sure thinks so and it wants you to start thinking so as well. On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the emerging startup scene in Dallas. I was pleasantly surprised with what I found here.
Last night I had the privilege of watching the first ever Get in the Ring Competition in the United States. Though this competition is in its sixth year, this was the first year that the United States had participated. The process began in August with groups of judges sorting through about 300 applications from startups all across the country. After several rounds of judging, the final eight startups were invited to Kansas City to participate in the U.S. version of Get in the Ring, the American Startup Clash.
One of the questions I get asked the most is some version of "what do you think of crowdfunding?" I usually answer with some noncommittal answer about how it is going to be important, but no really knows how it will impact the trajectory and success of startup companies. After all, the notion of banding together through social media to fund the development of a prototype, documentary film or art project has been going on for many years now.
