Maybe I just imagined that Fred Malek counted Jews in Richard Nixon's Bureau of Labor Statistics …Breaking News
Slate's Timothy Noah is taking the Washington Post to task for declining to mention that Fred Malek, an investor in the club that wants to bring major league baseball back to the US capital, disgraced himself in the Nixon administration by taking a nose count of Jews in the Bureau of Labor Statistics (at Nixon's request). Noah notes that the last time Malek's counting was mentioned by the Post was June 30.

Eggs, chicken flying off plates on cost

Eggs and chicken are likely to cost more in the coming months following 69 percent jump in poultry feed prices this year due to lack of rainfall and higher global rates.
Average prices of poultry feed consisting of oilseed cakes, rice bran, grounded maize and soya-rose by 69 percent year-on-year in July, up from 18 per cent in June, due to lack of rainfall and higher global prices.
Feed is a key input in poultry farming and this sharp price increase suggests that cost of eggs and chicken (protein food items) may rise sharply in coming months, research firm Nomura said in its report here.
If farmers choose to substitute poultry feed with cereals then prices for cereals could rise as well, it said.
Rising feed prices are an early indicator of the potential impact that the deficient monsoons could have on food prices.
As delayed monsoons hurt production of vegetables, cereal and oilseeds, we expect wholesale price index (WPI) food (primary and manufactured) inflation, which is currently 9 percent y-o-y, to rise into double digits in the coming months. This will keep both WPI and consumer price index (CPI) inflation elevated above the central bank's comfort zone, the report said.

When you're Michael Bloomberg, cabbies, truck drivers, and old ladies stop to yell at you on the street. They yell, Bloomberg said Friday morning, to say thank you.
Friday marks the end of a New York City era. After 88 years on the air, WOR's Gambling family radio show bowed out Friday morning. And for the last time, host John Gambling was joined by Mayor Bloomberg. Bloomberg, by Gambling's estimate, has appeared on the show on at least 500 Fridays during his mayoralty.
So for both guest and host, Friday morning was legacy time.
"I think no one expected me to like people" before becoming mayor, Bloomberg told Gambling. "They don't know how a guy that's been in the financial sector would deal with parades or town meetings." The mayor, not particularly thought of as Mr. Populist, said he has successfully fought against that. "I like people," he told Gambling. "Never walk into a building without shaking hands with the doorman."
The mayor stressed his accomplishments, and he previewed a soon-to-be-released report on the campaign promises he's kept during his three terms as mayor. He also got in a semi-dig at his successor when asked by Gambling about what Bloomberg's biggest global concern is. "Across the country," Bloomberg said, "rolling back education reforms is just a potential disaster." The hallmark of Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio's platform is an education agenda that moves distinctly away from what Bloomberg carried out as mayor.
"What am I gonna do next Friday?" Bloomberg asked Gambling. The answer actually came pretty quickly: a police graduation ceremony. From there, the mayor said he'll be attending Bill de Blasio's inauguration before heading to Hawaii for a couple days, then New Zealand for around a week. And then?
"Then, back to work."

Hillary Clinton hopes that television ratings for the candidates' acceptance speeches at their respective conventions aren't foreshadowing of similar results at the polls in November. Preliminary results from the networks and cable channels show that 34.9 million people tuned in for Donald Trump's acceptance speech while 33.3 million watched Clinton accept the Democratic nomination. However, it is still possible that the numbers are closer than these ratings suggest: the numbers don't include ratings from PBS or CSPAN, which tend to attract more Democratic viewers.

I agree with you Rifleman, but here is something to think about; Maybe the parents have tried to discipline their daughter, and the daughter complained to child protective services! If she did, then the father\mother, or both are now considered guilty with no possibility of proving their innocence, and if they try to restrain or discipline their daughter, they will be the ones to go to jail and if there are other children in the household, then they will also be removed and placed in state custody, and if they ever get it straightened out, it could be months or even years. In such a case, what is a parent to do?

US Presidential Election Roundup: But If You Had to Choose
Sanders endorses Clinton. Trump rebukes Ginsberg. RNC prepares for their convention in Cleveland. Pundits debate the best VP choice for Trump.
#ausvotes 2016: doubly disillusioned
This Saturday, Australians will head to the polls for the country's 2016 federal election. For most people, it will be a choice between the incumbent Liberal party or the opposition Labor party, but it's possible or even quite probable (scroll down to 'What Vote Will Others Get?') that this election will see a record vote for parties other than the two aforementioned majors. Chief amongst these are the environmentalist-left Australian Greens, who have designs on several seats in Melbourne, and the emergent populist centrist party Nick Xenophon Team, who look poised to pull off a major coup in the state of South Australia—potentially causing a hung parliament, something neither major party wants. Complicating this further is the fact that this election is a double dissolution, meaning that minor parties and independents need a lower vote share than usual to snatch a seat in the Senate. Indeed, this appears likely. (WARNING: ANDREW BOLT.) Whatever the results may be, you will be able to stream them free on ABC News 24, which will have its geoblock lifted from 6 am to midnight AEST for election night coverage. [more inside]
The campaign lurches into the summer
Based on findings from experiments in political science, BuzzFeed News has designed what should be a powerful get-out-the-vote message. With less than a month before the Democrats get their convention started in Philadelphia, speculation on Secretary Clinton's running mate is rampant, and "Bernie Sanders [said] he is prepared for a floor fight at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia if the party doesn't take more progressive stances on trade, the minimum wage, climate change and other issues in its platform."

We are on the brink of a historic moment...
With 694 delegates up for grabs between five primaries and a caucus, it has been widely predicted that Secretary Clinton would surpass the 2383 delegate threshold needed to clinch the democratic presidential nomination today. Jumping the gun, The Associated Press is reporting that, by their count, Clinton has already reached this number. Senator Sanders' campaign has condemned the media for its "rush to judgement" and the Clinton campaign has simply said "we still have work to do". [more inside]

Election season, 1860: "Stumping for the Republican candidate, Abraham Lincoln, [a] strange movement electrified the presidential election. Young men from Bangor to San Francisco and from huge Philadelphia clubs to tiny Iowa troupes donned uniforms, lit torches, and "fell in" to pseudomilitary marching companies." The Wide Awakes, as they were known, began as escorts for Republican speakers, but as the campaign season continued, these "political police" became an intimidating presence throughout much of the nation--young, fervent brawlers and unapologetic supporters of an aggressive style of American political combat.

Nothing is certain, except death and taxes and a US election campaign.
Though we've come a long way since Bernie, Donald and Hillary formally launched their campaigns, there's still a while to go before polling stations open. Recently, Barack enjoyed a Nordic State Dinner , delivered a commencement speech of our time, and pushed through rules including extending overtime pay to more than four million Americans. On the campaign trail, Hillary takes Kentucky while Bernie takes Oregon. Meanwhile, Donald clarifies that there's no VP for Marco with him, but Marco wants people to leave him alone anyway, people make wild speculations about Bernie's possible VP pick, Ted pretends Donald does not exist, Reince pleads "come together", and in coal country Hillary mentions a Bill role as a potential running mate is a bit coy.

In the endurance test that is the 2016 US presidential election, we finally come to New York State where all of the polling stations are now open.

There's a lot of delegates here; Ballotpedia has information about the Democratic and Republican allocations. Since last time, Paul said "Nope", GOP leaders said "Meh" followed by "Rules?", Washington Democrats had their own local endurance test, Virgin Islands Republicans had an unpleasant meeting, Bernie visited the Vatican, Hillary visited Staten Island (as did Donald), the Democratic candidates debated, Donald is figuring out West Virginia, Ted appears very conservative, and a grumpy John is aiming for second.

How 'Dark Money' Shapes US Politics
Jane Mayer takes on the Koch Brothers [1,2,3] - "For decades, billionaire libertarians Charles and David Koch have spent millions trying to reduce the size of government and slash regulations, making the brothers a target of the political Left and campaign finance reformers. But few people have dug deeper into the Koch empire and family history than New Yorker staff writer Jane Mayer, author of the new book 'Dark Money'. Among other revelations, she alleges that the brothers hired private detectives to investigate her after she published articles critical of them. We talk to Mayer about the book and about what the rise of Donald Trump means for the Kochs and their allies." (previously)
What's changed and changing about (American) politics?
The three party system - "There are three major political forces in contemporary politics in developed countries: tribalism, neoliberalism and leftism (defined in more detail below). Until recently, the party system involved competition between different versions of neoliberalism. Since the Global Financial Crisis, neoliberals have remained in power almost everywhere, but can no longer command the electoral support needed to marginalise both tribalists and leftists at the same time. So, we are seeing the emergence of a three-party system, which is inherently unstable because of the Condorcet problem and for other reasons." [more inside]

The 2016 Iowa Caucuses
Amidst an increasingly unpredictable political season, tonight the Iowa caucuses will finally cast the first votes of the 2016 presidential campaign. It's an outsider vs. establishment war in both parties, as Republican leaders struggle to dislodge Donald Trump and Ted Cruz from the top while Hillary Clinton marshalls her endorsements and long résumé against the populist zeal of democratic socialist Bernie Sanders. The best guesses of FiveThirtyEight, BetFair, and Ann Selzer's gold-standard Des Moines Register poll all favor Trump and Clinton, but the race remains very close, and turnout in the demanding and complicated caucus events will be key. Vox provides a helpful video explainer on the process [previously]. Pass the time with FiveThirtyEight's 40-minute elections podcast, and keep an eye on the New York Times live blog of the caucuses for real-time updates once voting starts at 8:00 PM Eastern -- and don't forget to leave your two cents in the MeFi election prediction contest!

The Empire Strikes Back
Thursday was a banner day for Bernie Sanders, whose campaign reached two million donations and won two key endorsements. So it came as a shock Friday when Sanders was hamstrung by, of all things, a Clinton data scandal. NGP VAN, the Democratic Party's main vendor for data services, mistakenly lowered the firewalls isolating each campaign's voter info -- and one Sanders staffer peeked. While the (now-fired) staffer claims they were just trying to gauge the scope of the exposure, the Clinton camp accused their rival of downloading valuable data. DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz agreed, barring the entire campaign from NGP VAN in response -- potentially crippling their sprint to Iowa. Already dinged for shielding Clinton with favorable debate schedules, the DNC dropped the ban following outcry and a Sanders lawsuit (which Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said might expose collusion). Crisis averted, though not without adding some potential fireworks to tonight's Democratic debate on ABC.
The Hatemonger
Donald Trump isn't funny anymore. Currently leading the polls in part due to a reaction to the Paris attacks that saw him inciting hatred against Muslim Americans with defamatory lies, Trump has eased off calls for a database of Muslims in favor of a new target, Black Americans, retweeting fake crime statistics provided by neo-nazis and supporting the beating of black protestors at his rallies. Let's be clear, millions of Americans love Trump and are perfectly fine with him advancing racist lies. writes activist Shaun King, It's ugly, but this, ladies and gentlemen, is America. 2015.

The Closing of the Canadian Mind
Americans have traditionally looked to Canada as a liberal haven, with gun control, universal health care and good public education. But the nine and half years of Mr. Harper's tenure have seen the slow-motion erosion of that reputation for open, responsible government. His stance has been a know-nothing conservatism, applied broadly and effectively. He has consistently limited the capacity of the public to understand what its government is doing, cloaking himself and his Conservative Party in an entitled secrecy, and the country in ignorance.

Let Us Face the Future - "All parties pay lip service to the idea of jobs for all. All parties are ready to promise to achieve that end by keeping up the national purchasing power and controlling changes in the national expenditure through Government action. Where agreement ceases is in the degree of control of private industry that is necessary to achieve the desired end. In hard fact, the success of a full employment programme will certainly turn upon the firmness and success with which the Government fits into that programme the investment and development policies of private as well as public industry."

Hiking the Appalachian Trail
Ordinary special elections rarely merit wide attention, but tonight features no ordinary special. Republican Mark Sanford and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch face off in South Carolina's 1st Congressional District tonight. Sanford, famous for resigning in disgrace after abandoning his state in search of an Argentine mistress while claiming to hike the Appalachian Trail, faces Colbert Busch, sister of Stephen Colbert. Latest polling shows the race within 1 point, with Green Party candidate Eugene Platt potentially playing spoiler. Stretching along five counties on South Carolina's Atlantic coast (PDF), the district is primarily in the mustard-based barbecue sauce region, one of four in the state.
"Used to be that the idea was 'once every two years voters elected their representatives.' And now instead it's 'every ten years the representatives choose their constituents.'"
Obama won Ohio by two points, and Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown won by five, but Democrats emerged with just four of Ohio's 16 House seats. In Wisconsin, Obama prevailed by seven points, and Democratic Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin by five, but their party finished with just three of the state's eight House seats. In Virginia, Obama and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Tim Kaine were clear victors, but Democrats won just three of the commonwealth's 11 House seats. In Florida, Obama eked out a victory and Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson won by 13 points, but Democrats will hold only 10 of the Sunshine State's 27 House seats. The Revenge of 2010: How gerrymandering saved the congressional Republican majority, undermined Obama's mandate, set the terms of the sequestration fight, and locked Democrats out of the House for the next decade. It's not a new problem. But if the Supreme Court guts the Voting Rights Act, it could get a whole lot worse. And the electoral college may be next. (What's gerrymandering, you ask? Let the animals explain. Meet the Gerry-mander. Peruse the abused. Catch the movie. Or just play the game. Previously.)

Nissan Juke-REnlarge Photo
Just in case you're thinking about building a 2012 Nissan Juke-R of your own, the video below may cause you to think twice. Unlike most add-a-bigger-engine projects, Nissan's Juke-R was designed to use as many of the Nissan GT-R's components as possible, including the engine, transmission, suspension and brakes.
If you get the feeling that the Juke-R will be an incredibly difficult build, you're correct. The complexity of the roll cage alone is staggering, but a stout roll cage is essential to ensuring that the Juke-R will have as little body flex as possible. It will also ensure that the Juke-R is fast in more than just a straight line.
When all is said and done, the Juke-R will be more of a race car than anything else, but that's OK with us, too. We applaud Nissan for thinking outside the box and mating two distinctly different species to create an Island-of-Dr.-Moreau crossover.
Check back next week for the latest Juke-R video installment. In the mean time, we'll start hounding Chevrolet to drop a ZR-1 engine in an all-wheel-drive Equinox.

To enable an "Internet of things" we need an infrastructure that allows lots of little "things" to communicate with us and each other. The base technology is mostly here, but innovation will be needed to drive cost and scalability down. This includes existing business models. In this session we assemble some of the leading pioneers, researchers and practitioners to explore what we need to do to enable this ecosystem, what early applications will drive uptake. and what opportunities there will be for technologists and investors.

Memories of loss a drawcard

Burt Munro Challenge
Being left in Burt Munro's dust is a fond memory for one motorbike rider who settled in at tent city at Oreti Park for the Burt Munro Challenge yesterday.
Don Leek, from Omokoroa in the North Island, lined up against the great Burt Munro half a century ago in a quarter-mile showdown, only to see the legendary figure disappear from view.
"I raced against Burt Munro in the early 60s at Timaru. I had a brand new Norton 500 and he was on his 1936 Velocette motorcycle. I hit 94 miles per hour and he flew past me at 124mph over a standing start quarter mile," he recalled.
"He was an old man back then but he was incredible on that bike."
Mr Leek said he called into the E Hayes & Sons store in Invercargill this week and saw the Velocette that beat his new Norton.
Though his racing days are over, Mr Leek is back to enjoy his fourth Burt Munro Challenge after making his first pilgrimage to the south when the event first started.
Despite being left behind by an "old man", the respect and admiration for one of Invercargill's greatest sons continued to lure him back, Mr Leek said.
Accompanying Mr Leek on his trip to the Burt Munro Challenge are his close friends and first time challenge visitors, Mary and John Brietler, also from Omokoroa.
Mrs Brietler said she had been riding a motorbike since before she was married 45 years ago.
"There were an odd few women riding motorbikes back then but not too many," she said.
Being on the road and on a motorbike alongside her husband was something she loved, but never as a pillion, she said.
Mr Brietler said his wife had never sat on the seat behind him.
The couple were previously in Invercargill 20 years ago, so it was time to come back, they said.
Setting up camp a few days before the events started gave the trio a chance to explore the city and see some of the sights, including the Bill Richardson Truck Museum.
Burt Munro Challenge organising committee chairman Wayne Affleck said preparations were ahead of schedule and Oreti Park would welcome 200 to 300 people today.
The camping ground officially opens at 3pm tomorrow.
Accommodation providers were also looking forward to a bumper weekend of trading, with several motel owners saying they were fully booked for the weekend.
Surrey Court Motel owner Greg King said he would be welcoming back several regulars and, despite some late cancellations, he was confident his remaining few rooms would fill up.
The Burt Munro Challenge was a big weekend for hospitality businesses in the city, he said.
The challenge starts at 5pm today with the New Zealand Longtrack Championship and Grand Prix at Ascot Park Raceway, and runs until Sunday.
Tickets are sold at Invercargill i-SITE for $10 per event or $40 for a pass to all the racing events.

Panthers knock off unbeaten Phillipsburg
PHILLIPSBURG — Just when it appeared things were beginning to come unraveled, Concordia was able to pull it together and pull away to a 63-50 win over unbeaten Phillipsburg Tuesday night.
Concordia was leading Phillipsburg just 22-20 less than two minutes into the third quarter when starting guard Joshua Pounds picked up his fourth foul.
Pounds was also whistled for a technical foul, and had to sit the remainder of the game.
Concordia, which uses just a six-man rotation, also had starters Gabe Bergmann and Alan Garcia each pick up a third foul in the third period.
Phillipsburg would tie the game at 22-22 on a basket by Grant Wickham with 6:00 to play in the quarter.
Four straight points by Cooper Holmes put Concordia up 26-22.
Concordia (13-5) would not surrender the lead after that.
Phillipsburg (16-1) got back within two points, 39-37, early in the fourth quarter.
Concordia then went on a 10-1 run to open up a 49-38 advantage, and was not threatened after that.
"We got over it and played well," Concordia coach Michael Roe said, "We didn't allow those events to affect how we played."
The events were part of a wild third quarter.
Concordia led the game 25-15 at halftime.
The two teams combined for 37 points in the third period.
After Phillipsburg tied the game, Concordia pushed the lead to eight points, 34-26.
Dylan Means knocked down a three for Phillipsburg, but Holmes answered with a three, and it was 37-29.
Holmes was 10 of 12 from the field and five of six from the free throw line in scoring a game high 26 points. The freshman also had 11 rebounds.
Four straight points by Sean Newlan got Phillipsburg within four points, 37-33.
Grant Holmes made a layup for Concordia, and Wickham hit two free throws for Phillipsburg, and it was a 39-35 game heading into the final eight minutes.
Newlan scored the first two points of the fourth quarter on a follow, and Phillipsburg was down just 39-37.
Consecutive baskets by Cooper Holmes and Kaleb Pounds extended Concordia's lead to 43-37.
Newlan made one of two free throws for Phillipsburg.
In less than a minute, Concordia got two free throws by Grant Holmes, a short baseline jumper by Garcia and two free throws by Kaleb Pounds to go up 49-38.
"All five contributed," Roe said of the fourth-quarter spurt, "Alan (Garcia) hit some big shots. Kaleb (Pounds) hit some big shots."
Phillipsburg would get no closer than nine points over the final 5:40 of the game.
Concordia led by as many as 19 points, 63-44.
Grant Holmes scored 15 points for Concordia.
Kaleb Pounds came off the bench and scored 10 points. He also had three assists and three steals.
Bergmann pulled down 11 rebounds to go with six points.
Concordia knocked down 24 of 42 field goal attempts for 57 percent and 14 of 21 free throws for 67 percent.
Wickham led Phillipsburg with 14 points, and Newlan added 13 points.
Phillipsburg scored the first four points of the game, but Concordia responded with a 10-2 run to go up 10-6.
A three by Seth Derr and a steal and layup by Tanner Crist gave Phillipsburg the lead back at 11-10.
Concordia committed 10 turnovers in the first half.
Cooper Holmes made a layup, and Kaleb Pounds got a steal and hit a jumper with time running out in the first quarter to put Concordia on top to stay, 14-11.
Wickham scored two minutes into the second period, and Phillipsburg trailed just 14-13.
Phillipsburg would not score again until a basket by Means in the final five seconds of the half.
Concordia scored eight straight points, and led 22-15 at halftime.
"We did a nice job of holding them to 15 points in the half since they are averaging 65 points per game," Roe said.
Phillipsburg scored the first seven points of the second half to tie the game, but Concordia was able to regroup and get the win.
Concordia hosts Wamego in a North Central Kanas League game on Friday night.
A win would pull Concordia into a three-way tie for first place in the League with Wamego and Abilene.
K. Pounds 4-2-1 10, Garcia 2-0-3 4, J. Pounds 1-0-5 2, G. Holmes 4-7-3 15, C. Holmes 10-5-2 26, Bergmann 3-0-3 6. Totals: 24-14-17 63.

ACE Fit Share
August 25, 2010
The prevalence of tight hamstrings in the general population is quite common. Most likely, the high rate of people suffering from tight, inflexible hamstrings has something to do with occupations that require sitting for hours at a time. Sitting in a typical office chair forces the hamstrings to become inactive and places them in a shortened position. Repetitive, prolonged sitting eventually leads to hamstring muscles that adapt to a new shortened length, and the result is tightness in the back of the legs along with potential low back pain. Interestingly, it is thought that the process of hamstrings tightness starts as early as age 6 when children start school and begin sitting for most of the day. Other possible causes for tight hamstrings include genetic characteristics, such as having short hamstrings, and not stretching after participation in running and jumping sports, which have a high demand on the hamstrings.
Regardless of the cause of hamstrings tightness, you can take steps to alleviate the problem. Committing to a program of stretching the hamstrings most days of the week (or every day, if possible) will slowly coax the tight muscles into a longer resting length. Over a period of several weeks to several months, depending on how tight you are, you can achieve a normal resting length for the hamstrings, which will allow them to properly perform their functions of flexing the knee, extending the hip, and stabilizing the pelvis.
Most people know that the hamstrings function to move the lower leg upward and move the thigh in a posterior (or backward) direction. However, the hamstrings also play an important role in stabilizing the pelvis when a person is standing and walking. Because the hamstrings attach to the sit bones on the underside of the pelvis, they pull downward on the pelvis and create a pelvic "tuck." Thus, the hamstrings provide a downward pull against other competing muscles attached to the pelvis that create an upward pull, such as the lower back muscles and the hip flexors. Remembering the hamstrings' function of stabilizing the pelvis will help you choose the best stretches for this muscle group.
To effectively stretch the hamstrings, or any muscle group for that matter, it is essential to perform a five- to seven-minute warm-up of light activity such as walking or working on an elliptical machine. Once the muscles are warmed, the best bodily positions in which to stretch the hamstrings are lying or sitting. Attempting a hamstrings stretch while standing does not allow complete relaxation of the muscle because it is involved in its role of stabilizing the pelvis. On the other hand, a seated or lying position does not require the hamstrings to work, so a stretch in these postures is more productive.
Two of the most effective hamstring stretches are the lying hamstrings stretch and the modified hurdler stretch. Click the links to view details from the ACE exercise library including step-by-step instructions for performing these stretches, photos, exercise variations and helpful tips.

I guess I didn't pay attention when Apple released their AV cable. But, if I had known better, I would have said something different above. Now that I've done a little research on the apple store site, I realize that my digital camera cable will work better than wasting $40.
from the reviews page of apple's AV cable: "You do not need to buy this cable to view on your tv. If you have a generic mini plug to red/white/yellow rca cable (from dv camera or digital camera) just plug the red rca into the video input, the white and yellow rcas go to the audio inputs. Normally the yellow goes to the video input, but for some reason (maybe they just want another 20 dollars out of you) apple must have changed this. I have tried this with multiple cables. Save your money and use a generic cable."

Venture capitalists often say that they don't like to invest in sole founder started tech companies.
Paul Graham (Y Combinator) famously told Dropbox's solo founder Drew Houston that he needed to find himself a cofounder or he wouldn't look at his application to the funding pool. Houston found a co-founder, Arash Ferdowski, and now the online storage and syncing service just raised $250 million at a $4 billion valuation.
The rationale is simple: two heads and hearts are better than one. The swings in beginning an Internet startup are huge, and the emotional rollercoaster is not a pleasant one.
I like to tell new startup founders that their job is best described as coming to work, getting kicked in the head and finding enjoyment in the punishment. Having a co-founder helps as you have someone to pick you up and share in the emotional turmoil as well as making you feel less alone.
But what if you can't find someone to share the dream with? You are a born entrepreneur and you don't stop just because things are not perfect. You go ahead to start anyway and find a way to get through.
But… Can You Go it Alone?
While the jury is still out on the "Single Founder vs. Co-founders" debate, for those who would think it is too hard to do it alone, here are a few examples of wildly successful sole founders who made it work singlehandedly:
- Amazon (Jeff Bezos)
- eBay (Pierre Omidyar)
- Napster (Sean Fanning)
- Lycos (Michael Mauldin)
- AOL (William von Meister)
- Digg (Kevin Rose)
- Overture (Bill Gross)
Others worth noting: Ming Hsieh, Cogent Systems (Pasadena) – now worth around $1.6 billion, owned 100% of his company when it went IPO (later sold to 3M); Patrick Soon-Shiong (Abraxis BioScience–now owns a chunk of the LA Lakers), net worth $5.0 billion. Jack Dangermond (ESRI), sole founder, worth around $2.2 billion.
Here are some tips on how you can be successful too as a sole founder:
- Work in a co-working environment when you start. This will give you a sense of community and give you a way to share and vent your frustration as well as the opportunity to learn from others.
- Go to the office during office hours. The routine will help pace you and keep your eye on the ball. Don't fall into the trap of thinking you can work 10 hours a day from 9pm to 9am indefinitely. Business is ultimately built on relationships and no man is an island.
- Set budgets and goals. You may not report to anyone but the results determine your fate. You need to understand your time horizons and be realistic about what you need to achieve in order to be successful. If you are heading off course, make changes to get back on track.
- Get mentors/advisors to share your progress and give you insights. The fact is that they may not give you good advice but they can act as a shoulder to cry on and give you a pep talk when you are down. They may also give you false hope and this is all you need.
- Focus on the prize and remind yourself why you are doing this. For me it was due to the fact that I felt I had no other choices left and I needed to paddle my own canoe.
The last and best piece of advice I can give is to find your true supporters and keep them informed on your progress. This could be your family, spouse or loved ones. These people should love you no matter what the outcome and you can be honest with your feelings and hopes and frustrations.
Best of luck on your journey and always remind yourself that you only live once so make the most of it!

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

The first products with Nvidia's Tegra 4i chipset, which combines the company's application processor with an LTE modem, will be rolling into the market in the first half of next year, but likely will not be aimed at the U.S. market, according to CEO Jen-Hsun Huang.
Nvidia said its mobile business will remain flat this year, partially due to a slight delay in the release of its LTE-capable Tegra 4 chip.
Nvidia announced its first chipset integrating LTE modem technology and its Tegra application processor into a single piece of silicon, its first major attempt to catch up to the likes of Qualcomm in terms of providing integrated chips for smartphones.
The dramatic upheaval in the smartphone and portable device market has helped redefine the competitive landscape. A few years ago the mobile phone industry was dominated by the likes of Samsung,
