7:00 pm
start a businesses create jobs and spur the economy. we will hear from jerry moran who authored the start impact, legislation aimed at helping businesses grow the economy. this discussion as part of a policy summit held by the consumer electronics association in las vegas. it is an hour. >> so, good afternoon. my name is larry downes. it means for an hour i can be up here and not back in the audience taking notes. just before the election, i wrote an article asking what it was that of intrapreneurs needed from washington. our panelists today may have a more productive agenda to discuss. i know there are many in the audience who are from washington. that is great because you will
7:01 pm
be hearing from some actual business owners and organizers -- organizations interested to talk about when the start up a economy does and does not need from washington. it is my great pleasure to introduce senator jerry moran will provide some introductory mar remarks -- remarks. both in the senate and then before 2010, and during seven terms in the house. he successfully led opposition with senator biden to defeat the protect ip act. that was the senate version of sopa. he has encouraged congress to develop a spectrum policy as well. senator moran is the author of the start pact. these are bills that the seat to unleash the job-creating power
7:02 pm
of entrepreneurs to grow the economy. please welcome senator moran his first ces. [applause] >> thank you very much. thank you for the introduction and our panelists. i am anxious to get your instructions and hear your direction as what we should be attempting to accomplish. this should be an issue that does not divide us but brings us together. i hope that is the case in 2013. i very much appreciate the consumer electronics association hosting this tremendous trade show. i have been able to wander the floor this morning looking at the latest ideas and examples and innovation. it strikes me this is the area of the economy that has the grid -- greatest potential of growing and has the most to offer as far
7:03 pm
as job creation and it is the part of the country -- the economy that is least likely to be regulated by what happens in washington, d.c.. it is clear to me the evidence is that with less government intervention, the likelihood of innovation and economic success only increases. that is a concept that i think needs to garner greater support across the country. i got interested in to this issue of entrepreneurship as a frustrated member of the senate. only a short time into my time in washington as a senator, it became clear we were accomplishing so little. one of the motivating factors for my interest in seeking office and continuing in public service was a belief that the
7:04 pm
fiscal condition of our country is very challenging, the circumstances in which our kids have less of an opportunity to pursue the american dream they would otherwise have. i saw no success on doing anything in regard to revenue or reductions in spending. there is a litany of things that would show that was not taking place from the president's budget to the raising of the debt ceiling and creating the select committee, no evidence we were able to achieve something. while i have not walked away from those issues, i did see the conclusion, maybe there is a different approach to getting our country out of the fiscal condition it is aimed, growing the economy, job creation. at about that time, a report from kansas city is devoted to
7:05 pm
entrepreneurship. that landed on my desk with recommendations about what washington might do in order to enhance the chances that the united states is and would remain a country of entrepreneurs. we took those ideas and began the process of drafting legislation. at about that time, senator wide and introduced himself and said i have an issue that might be of interest to you. would you care to team up with me? we spent a short amount of time analyzing the issues of sopa and pipa and realizing much of the job growth and the additional revenues to the treasury or occurring because of the innovation of the technology sector. certainly start of companies can be from the person that decides it wants to open a dry cleaners to the latest in technology that
7:06 pm
originates and we see here at this trade show. where the greatest success seem to be was in the innovation arena, that technology arena, and it appeared to me that government was about to make a decision that was going to limit the opportunity that innovation would have for the economy. and did not expect to have much success, the allies, they were on the other side of the issue. significant players, both in congress and outside. if he was in the room, i would give him full credit for the success. the reality as it was the community the decided they were going to participate in making their position known and felt in washington, d.c. as a result, what was unexpected became the outcome, the unexpected outcome of
7:07 pm
stopping sopa and pipa was the success we had as a result of citizen participation. i hope that at victory is felt that democracy is still alive and well. a person's. of you can be heard and make a difference. that outcome was the expectation was a different one than what we had. that lent itself to another aspect of innovation, but my interest in the topic really was a belief that technology is a great opportunity for us to grow the economy. i happen to serve on the appropriations committee in the senate that has the fcc's budget. about that time, spectrum issues arose. we began to understand the value
7:08 pm
of additional spectrum. it was one more piece of the puzzle as to growing entrepreneurship in the technology world. it was no grand design about my arrival in the united states senate, but they believe we should grow the economy that resulted in reading the report from the foundation, listening to the center, and realizing that spectrum was an important issue. because of my position, i had an opportunity to influence the decisions the fcc would make in my colleagues would pursue. in that position, on the same subcommittee, we got interested in the jobs? . it is discouraging to see so little has come from that legislation. it is discouraging because it is an example of where we came together, passed a piece of legislation that has significant
7:09 pm
potential to grow the economy and to raise the capital necessary for startup businesses. we have been unable so far, and that would be front and center, a conversation for me. i expect to be on the same subcommittee. as a result in the election i will not be a chairman but will be the ranking republican where we hope to influence and to make decisions that are beneficial to raising the capital necessary. let me highlight the startup act, now called the start up to. zero -- 2.0. our first choice for a colleague was senator mark warner of virginia. we made the case for this kind of legislation and we work out
7:10 pm
differences between what he thought the bill should say and what i thought they should say and we reach an agreement and then we wanted to broaden its support and reached out to marco rubio, who had introduced legislation regan -- related to business issues and we brought some of their ideas in an expanded our group to four. we are at a point in which this legislation, we need to get off the diamond we need to make certain it is a top agenda item for 2013 in washington, d.c.. this legislation deals with access to capital, again with the regulatory environment, perhaps most important, it deals with the issue of the battle for talent and our insane policy in this country of educating individuals that have great
7:11 pm
talent and intellect and then telling them they have no opportunity to pursue careers in the united states. also to recognize that many first-reneurs, are generation americans or early arrivals in our country. there are visa provisions that allow for an increase in the number of stem visas but also for those that are foreign born but that one to create business and the united states. in addition to that, we believe that having some competition among states through information and knowledge will increase the opportunity for entrepreneurs to decide where they can start with a new idea and beginning company. -- begin a company.
7:12 pm
i hope what we learn from a community's efforts in regard to sopa and pipa with a demonstrated they have the ability to stop legislation, i would love to see the circumstance in which they have the ability to promote legislation to see that in his past. we are taking the approach that this legislation is not perfect. seeking input from you and others, i have been to south by southwest, and silicon valley, increasing the level of information by those who can help us. but ultimately the goal is to have those people buy into legislation and to use the same techniques that demonstrated the political power of the internet to stop the bad legislation to demonstrate there is political power in the internet to promote positive legislation. just to try to summarize, this matters because we are losing
7:13 pm
the battle for entrepreneurship. it was sad to me to have a business person tell me the american dream is alive and well around the globe but that the american dream is more likely to be pursued outside of the united states. in fact, in the two years i have been a member of the senate, seven countries have changed their laws where we have not, to try to create a circumstance in which they are more likely to attract new business. including in the global battle for talent. that list of seven countries, one of them is chile. 20% of the companies they promote our u.s. companies who decided it is better and to pursue that business there and then in their home country.
7:14 pm
this is the basics of what we should be doing and creating environment in which those that want to pursue that idea with the hope of success have the ability to do that and are not damaged by doing that in the united states. in some instances we hope they will be rewarded by doing it in the united states. i am very interested in seeing what the panelists say that the 2013 agenda should be for the new congress and pledged to the start of community and others unwillingness on my part to be educated and to learn and listen and to try to make certain decisions that i make in washington promote the ibm of a free-market system that allows all americans to pursue the american dream in the united states. thank you for joining us and for your interest in this topic. [applause]
7:15 pm
>> that was a great introduction. the senator is going to stay with us and listen. what i have asked the panel is to deal is to give us a brief introduction of who they are and what organization they represent. from there we have a number of topics we want to cover. some overlap and some are unique. let me start with you, christian. >> thank you. i am from the internet. we all use the internet every day but i get to say that he and my team actually created a pocket of it. we are all entrepreneurs. i am not a start up. what i do enables the start-ups and gives them a platform on which to build their dreams and generate the economy. my company is called servint and
7:16 pm
we have been around 17 years. web hosting is a part of the infrastructure community. we have a trade association of which i am a part. data talking about centers, claude providers, the notes and bolts of the internet that sit on top of the infrastructure. there are 30,000 companies like cars worldwide. we are mostly small to medium businesses. most people think the internet is amazon.com and google, microsoft, abel, those are the exceptions. rule is small businesses. small businesses that are in power in small-business is. -- empower small businesses. that is why we're here.
7:17 pm
>> how is everybody doing today? i am from detroit and i run a couple of start-ups. i spent most of my day working on a university. what we do is help start-ups to be able to leverage technology to tell their stories online. this to give you some background, i have the opportunity to be a part of being in the silicon valley. but there really is, it opened my eyes to this whole ecosystem and how the world works. the perspective by want to bring is how do cities and states change their minds from an investor perspective? i'm from detroit and if you look at detroit, detroit is changing. how does a town that has been a factory town reinvent itself? how does it disintegrated tried
7:18 pm
to create high growth and jobs and a place where now we have to get the local government and we have to get the community working together? i think he now did on the head when he talked about leaders. talking about how entrepreneurs are going to lead the movement. but we need to have an infrastructure, whether that is government and universities working together so we can create an eco system and make sure that it is sustainable. an excited about meeting with you today. i look forward to the conversation. >> small-company is called hippidy. we are based in san francisco. we are one of the small companies christian mentioned. we are only six employees right
7:19 pm
now. our company does a lot of pork with national retailers, services, aggregating data and building technologies in terms of when sales happen, algorithms in terms of selling at two different parties. one of the areas of concern for a company like ours is access to talent. my parents are immigrants. it is something close to me personally. many of my family members have gone through this process. . being able to work at a smaller company that has the ability to do that in the u.s., that is a topic of interest to me and some of the others. i look forward to chatting with you about it. >> i am also from detroit. we get apps on to your smartphone safely. i started my business in 2008
7:20 pm
with a fresh set of business card and started giving them out trying to figure out what i wanted to do. five years later we have 20 jobs in detroit and we work with major companies. which is great. i usually keep my head down and i try to avoid anything that does not involve closing deals. but i have a lot of struggles when it comes to hiring. i am happy to talk about that. i have also been through the ranks with angel financing. so i have been through it and i and stem the challenges and businesses go through because i have been there. i definitely keep my head down when it comes to washington and focus on things that mattered to making payroll. >> first of, thank you, senator for opening this up. been jobs act is a remarkable
7:21 pm
piece of legislation enacting making sure this community can support the work you're doing, i think is critical to capital raising for a lot of start-ups. i am part of the start of the american network. i've lost my first company 1 i was 19 and have raised capital in a variety of ways. we are really focused on what we can do within the washington, d.c. a ecosystem to relieve bridge the gap between a startup-led innovation and a lot of the expertise and connections that exist within washington, d.c. the first aspect of it is important but there is a broader view that one of the biggest opportunities for innovation our country is looking at is how do we reinvent the way we educate our kids? or provide health to our
7:22 pm
citizens? or manage transportation? these are big issues and issues in which we have a significant amount of opportunity to disrupt and innovate. the leadership is going to come from start-ups. they need to be able to understand how to actually connect in these environments to drive that innovation. that is a lot of the stuff we're doing, focused on creating a community. theet's get into some of topics. we heard yesterday and today about some of the immigration, patent reform, but let's talk about it from the standpoint of people who are in the trenches. christian, give us a sense of a framework using start-ups would like when washington thinks about regulating or not regulating. order some of the guiding principles that should be included? >> i made you guys a short list.
7:23 pm
first i want to basically say that, well, remember when that guy columbus discovered that the continent? the internet is kind of the biggest thing since then. we need to realize that old ways of approaching legislation are not going to work. the first thing we need to do is to get congress to acknowledge nobody knows -- owns the internet. attempts to do it are going to generally fail. people do not understand how vast the internet is. it is not like telephone lines. no group will have a singular perspective to understand it enough to legislate it. there are existing methods to shape the internet. groups like wwc, ift, they take aspects of the internet and they bring stakeholders to the table with different perspectives, and a price, governments, content
7:24 pm
creators, users, internet providers like me, all come to the table and a hash out the differing perspectives. basically, you need to do work to be able to pay attention to. what the government can control, they need to understand it is very limited. ultimately, i will go ahead and read my lips. we want, any regulation should be placed with specialized expertise in the area sought to be regulated. for instance, the s -- ftc had some experience and they listen to us. we may want to talk with them. they have dealt with sakharov. yes, we do not want an internet agency. we do not want in internet czar.
7:25 pm
the government should reinforce than working with entities, or considering legislation or activity that would undermine it, like the domain name creatures. that really hurts us. we do not want people to stick to failed negotiations, like the ttp. we want support for the communications decency act. we do not want blacklists and what lists. and regulation should continue to be technology neutral and any regulation should expressly and brought the preempt state regulation. right now we have the swiss cheese mess that is impossible to go through. we also need to use language that is explicit and easy to follow. that is another problem with a lot of these bills. we just do not understand what is your talking about. if we do not understand what you're talking about, we cannot tell you whether we are pro or con.
7:26 pm
at dinner that they come here is what you need to realize. on copyright, privacy, security, the u.s. is not the only game in town. i lose business everyday to overseas. right now, our industry represents a trade surplus. more people are coming to do hosting in the united states to build their businesses, then the reverse. but we still lose it because people outside of this country use, for instance, the patriot act against us and say, because of that regulation that cannot be in the united states. the more restrictive legislation we put on our soil, the more people are going to take their business and start them on everyone else's infrastructure. losing infrastructure to overseas is a gateway to losing innovation altogether. you say i am already in the netherlands, now i can outsource this.
7:27 pm
we can prevent that with open dialogue in all seats at the table. >> those are some good first principles. does anybody else want to add or disagree? ok, let me -- using that as a framework, let's talk about some of the specific issues. i will start with jake. you mentioned capital. what are some of the problems or opportunities you have in terms of raising capital, ways in which washington helps by doing less or more? >> there are two issues i want to cover. the first is that investors may be free to put money into what they choose to and providing any sort of [indiscernible] -- barrier creates a problem. this is for angels. these are individuals that want to put money into companies. they need to be able to do that without any penalty.
7:28 pm
the second issue of is that a federal and state level. in my experience, in michigan, if you are not making cars, you are not getting funded. that has changed quite a bit to add three more categories. if you are not in cars or health care then you're not getting funded. i think that is wrong. i think we need to look at this and say, where is innovation going to happen? you mentioned about detroit, you have to think outside the box. investors are highly qualified to do so. putting limits on what they invest in and providing incentives creates a problem. it is not what i would consider free-market and allowing people to invest to make this country great again. >> anybody else want to chime in on funding issues? ok. let's move on. we might as well stick on
7:29 pm
detroit. i am also from detroit. let me come to you, hajj. company,pany, jake's what kind of things to your experience from the local government that makes it easier or more difficult to keep innovating outside of silicon valley? >> if you look at any place like detroit, we are going to have to -- it will be harder to attract a microsoft or an amazon. so we are going to have to focus more at being the economic guardian. what are the companies, whether the entrepreneurs in the community to create an environment so they want to stay there? a couple of examples. we have some who are doing good stuff. dan gilbert has purchased quite
7:30 pm
a few buildings, probably 26.5 million square feet in the city of detroit. he has been able to attract twitter and other companies. there is another gentleman the purchased this building that was foreclosed in a blighted part of detroit and it is now creating this collaborative work space. i think what caps to happen in detroit, is that local government has to be able to support environment to be able to get together and collaborate and create some really interesting things. so that is how we're going to be able to more forward. something to think about, there is this multiplier a fact that happens when you have this kind of activity. you start to have other businesses. you start to attract other like- minded companies. i think from our standpoint, we are not going to be able to look at the federal level to solve world peace for us.
7:31 pm
we need to be able to do some things on the local level. i will close with this example. they worked on a couple of projects. i think some of the learnings the government learned is there are different ways to be able to solve a problem. so i think having those types of engagements really shows our government how they need to change. >> is there anything specifically from washington that would make this harder or easier? >> i think there are quite a few tax incentives and things that have come down from a federal level that have opened up opportunities for start-ups. i cannot remember what kind of technology it was, but there were certain incentives, it was
7:32 pm
a battery or some kind of project. what it did it caused an actual startup to be berthed in our market and to be able to stay there. we could utilize a lot of intellectual capital, a lot of the excess manufacturing facilities and things that used to be used for automotive that they can be used for a different industry. >> anybody else outside of silicon valley that has issues or opportunities that irrelevant? >> to echo what was justice said, it is interesting because we get together every quarter and we get leaders from all of these other regions from across the country. the first summits we did, a set of issues kept coming up. as everybody was convinced, for example, there was this talent elsewhere in the country and if they could convince them to come to detroit or washington or
7:33 pm
kansas they could have a vibrant ecosystem. the same thing with capital. there were these firms someplace else and if they could get them to get to their community, they could grow. what was interesting was getting all these people together, everyone from silicon valley to new york, kansas and detroit, are all convinced the talent is elsewhere and the people that are ready to work, it was the revelation this is not a zero sum game. it really shifted our focus, this is not a war for talent. it is about developing and growing more of the skills and more of the cultural attributes that are going to make people program for these jobs. the same thing on the capitol front. it is not about attracting
7:34 pm
capital from the other parts of the u.s., it is about creating the right conditions to enable the wealth that is in every community in america. in washington, we have five of the seven wealthiest counties in america. it certainly is not an issue about rich people, we have to get them to start investing less in restaurants and more in start-ups. i think the area where washington can help on that is what we have highlighted, the jobs act. it is enabling for removal of a lot of these regulations that make it more complex to do this. i do not now that washington is going to have an impact on every local community getting talent. but it can impact that question. i do not think it is feasible to say there should be no barriers whatsoever on the ability to invest. like any issue, it is one of,
7:35 pm
where does the pendulum fall? we have too much regulation but i think we need to recognize that, there needs to be some level of investor protection. that is going to have to be in there. it is making sure there is an appreciation of the fact this is of vital to growing echo systems across the u.s.. >> let me ask you, senator, what about kansas? what do you hear as far as what they need or makes it more difficult for them to stay in kansas as opposed to silicon valley or other areas? >> one of the things that i think is so and thank you, unique about the-- so impressive, unique about the entrepreneur community, their ability to help others. what i see so often in kansas
7:36 pm
and in states like ours, where we desperately want to develop this climate, it is the ability to associate with others to have that mindset and the willingness to be unselfish in sharing your views and how to accomplish this and share your investors. it is a very appealing circumstance. one of the reasons i like all of you, it is this sense that there is something special about what to do. you recognize it and you want to share it with many others. the benefits to our country are significant when that happens. i do not think it is a terribly different in kansas than any other place. one of the things we have that this to our advantage is google and their efforts in kansas city.
7:37 pm
that creates an opportunity that would not otherwise exist. and our universities, our university system is releasing entrepreneur-- really seeing entrepreneurship like they have never seen before. good things are happening. in large part, you have access to capital. i would guess if you ask kansas, that would be their greatest -- we need a greater set of investors that exist in some places in much more dominant ways than in our state. >> you mentioned the google project. they asked communities to submit applications for giga bit home internet service. they received over 1000
7:38 pm
applications. they chose kansas city. what they have said is that all of the applications they got from california were dismissed because because of the environmental impact reporting requirement would amount to do. local regulations that might be there for one purpose can actually interfere with development. >> i was going to say, i had said before there were 30,000 companies worldwide. one of the reasons why it is so fragmented, a couple of different reasons. you're talking about narrow types of technology. the other is that a lot of this stuff is extremely localized. you have people -- it is a high touch and feel. the technology is complex. you have people that are helping get businesses off the ground. it is something we get to do.
7:39 pm
legal bills in the internet infrastructure tends to be high. we run into a number of issues, specifically with regard copyright trolls and patent trolls would be helpful. to be able to continue to offer services to our clients. >> rama, " would you say is the most significant legal issue that you have to deal with as an entrepreneur? >> a couple of things. the first is the prohibitive cost of applying for patents. we have a bunch of technology we are building, predictive technology that i would like to apply but our situation is unique in that we do not have venture financing. we have raised a small round and we are bootstrapping. i face an issue where i have to
7:40 pm
think about what kind of resources i want to put toward applying for a patent, when is the right time to do that, and how do i protect the ip i am building? that is a pressing concern for us. >> what would you see you would be the most useful reform to make that easier for a smaller company? >> to make the process less expensive, maybe have an interim process so it is not -- so there is a way to give some small protection around the ip in a less-expensive way. that really adds up when you're thinking about spending my time selling or spinning my time building a business or on legal bills? >> one of the things unique about startups as they do not have dedicated government relations staff. in many cases they do not have a
7:41 pm
dedicated legal staff. even if there are available government services, they may have difficulty knowing about them or using them are getting access to them. evan, i think that is probably part of what you did. what can you tell us about using services? >> it is a major part of the challenge. having somebody part of multiple communities, yes, obviously large corporations have tremendous access to be able to communicate and inform policymakers about how issues are going to impact them in a way start-ups do not. i think sopa and pipa was an example of one there is an interest that does represent an existential threat to those start-ups. it is amazing their ability to come together.
7:42 pm
outside of those cases it is difficult. there are new trade associations coming on board, better technology, the internet association coming together. but at the end of the day, it becomes incumbent upon the startups to become more educated and aware of the fact these issues matter. if you have interacted with our in -- system, it is clear to any person these are pretty fucked systems. the issue is you have a lot of gridlock in washington and you have to fight through a lot of the different stakeholder groups that have different perspectives to get these fixed. what is much more interesting to me in the broader sense is tapping into the essence of what
7:43 pm
washington does. if you think about my life as a consumer, if you walk around this show, my life as a consumer has become so better in the last 10 or 15 years it is almost mind-boggling. what i can do on my phone, what i can access, the information i have available to me, it is almost unbelievable to think about what i did not have tenure as a go vs. today. my life as a citizen is about as crude as it was 30 years ago. our education system is still broken. we spend more on every student then we educate than any other economy and we produced mediocre results. our health care system spends twice as much per patient as any other and produces bottom of the stack results. we have issues with energy efficiency. our political system, that was what the president addressed.
7:44 pm
nothing is being done about that. there are these unbelievable start-ups that are doing incredibly cool things on all of these issues and they do not perceive themselves as part of the public sector. they do not perceive themselves as engaging with washington. they see themselves as fixing problems around them. kids, health care. right up until they have to figure out how they have to grow this into a business. >> do have an example? >> you develop and tablet -- education application that helps kids exchange content with each other and tutors and teachers. seems like a cool solution. you figure out, i have to deal with an issue that restricts how i actually store that data and who i can share it with. this complicates my process. or in health care. we advise health care start-up''
7:45 pm
all the time that have solutions and then they start getting into these issues, how we deal with the payer system, medicare, all of these complex issues that make innovating much more complex than innovating in the consumer world? the spaces are half of the economy. there the half of the economy the presents the big problems going forward. that is a lot of what we are focused on, how we actually tap into a lot of the expertise washington has to empower the start-ups? >> anyone else? >> i have an example. i heard about technology agnostic legislation. i am in the radio business. right now there is a rate and pandora place. a few broadcast over radio, you do not have to pay. i think it might have made sense to have these kinds of rules but
7:46 pm
i do not see how it is any different. how you get your content, you should be playing by the same rules. one thing i would say, a technology agnostic legislation. older technology or new technology does not have the benefit of an existing one. that is what i would like to see. >> as anyone on the panel have a personal or business experience dealing with either a patent issue or with an immigration issue that might have something to do with this conversation? >> i have three open jobs right now. i have had hundreds apply and what we need is specialized. there are not that many people that have what we look for. i have had to turn down three applicants that are great, they are educated and have advanced degrees but they happen to live out of the country and i cannot afford to sponsor their be set. if i could, i have no idea if
7:47 pm
the job will be available. that is right now in my business. 20 jobs in michigan. >> we have a situation where we have been working with students we would like to bring on full- time and it is not possible. we cannot sponsor their visas. they're not u.s. citizens so it is not easy for them to stay. i have cousins that are getting a ph.d. is to stay in the country because they could not get jobs. i happen to be biased. one is one i would like to work with to my company. but we cannot do it right now. i think everyone agrees there is a need for reform. there is a lot of work being done but it is disappointing when you see these talented kids, you know they're talented, you see their talent and then you see them going to their home country. that is what they want to do. that is what companies want them to do. >> with regards to patent, i
7:48 pm
have more experience with that through my work with my trade association. i work with a number of different providers. i cannot really speak for them or give their examples, but i have a number of things i can think of off the top of my head where we have patent troll situations. if he is a modicum of common sense to realize there is no case. but if you take a situation where a small business's profit might be $38,000 a year. you can spend on lawyers to fight a frivolous case. we are looking at copyright situations where we have guys saddling to avoid hundred thousand dollar legal bills. that amounts to their profits
7:49 pm
for the year. >> we had a panel of patent litigation and abuses of the system. we talked about a bill that has been introduced by a congressman. anyone else have any direct experience with intellectual property? or other obstacles? good, you are lucky. in the last few minutes i want to open it up to audience questions. we have a number of topics we have not gotten to. i see a hand in the back. i think the microphone is coming if he would wait a moment. the senator had to leave for a meeting. we were grateful to have him as long as we did. >> i thought to bring this up for fun, it is lunchtime. there is all of this talk about a barrier to entry.
7:50 pm
i wonder of start-ups are the key to economic growth or a barrier to entry is the issue, and barriers to growth. i think there is a difference between growth and churn. it is easy to start up. it is difficult to build a business. what is a challenge in the context of the digital economy is asset creation. there was talk about the tyranny of the majority in which we facilitate start-ups. we want to come monetize -- commodoitze in order to have a lower barriers to entry. but if we are a snake treating its own tail, greeting the next new startup, a venture capitalist that invest because they might get out the back out, i would like to raise the
7:51 pm
question, is anybody concerned that we treat digital assets in a cavalier fashion when they're the only assets, even users, which is the new asset we're trying to come up with ways to make it easier for one company to take the user base of another. so nothing becomes an asset to the becomes a value proposition, makes it sellable and allows that growth and the positive turn to take place. >> how do some of you think about your assets in terms of information? howdy manage them until then? -- how do you manage them and build them? >> i am not sure how to address the question because i think about things differently. i want to tell a story. when i work with companies and
7:52 pm
innovators to help them build their business, i will use an example. the navy may know the company xt.com. i was lucky enough to work with them when they were getting off the ground, helping build their first series of servers, they showed me a demo and said, what you think about this idea? they are like the day for handmade goods. so you have a situation where they are and powering people all over the world, specifically heavily targeted in rural america, areas that are underserved and underemployed. to build their own businesses. i do not know how to match your question because what i want is to find ways to build more of those types of companies. i was able to help build a business that builds businesses.
7:53 pm
that creates a kind of an economy. i do not see that as the state eating its own tail. -- snake eating its own tail. i see that as the internet in powering the world. -- empowering the world. >> intellectual property rights, as you know, for most of the country's history, international treaties were an essential factors like survival, military treaties and so forth. now almost everything we do is influenced by treaty obligations. and wondering, going forward,
7:54 pm
with globalization and homogenization, and our ability to legislate is restricted by the policies we have agreed on with other countries that do not have our innovative history -- how is that future globalization going to impact our start a culture? -- startup culture? >> i can tell you i can afford to file patents but i cannot afford to fight them. i cannot afford to file them and the other countries i need to file them, especially in the internet. my competition can come from anywhere. i have a big problem with patent for the product. that's something that bothers me a lot, especially in the software world. i think the cost of filing is
7:55 pm
one thing but imagine trying to do a patent research, what does that mean? i put the value of my captains at 0. maybe some day of a larger entity acquired by captains -- my patents. >> a question over here. the microphone is coming. >> hello, my name is oscar. i am in nonprofit startup. we are an organization that inspires young kids to become the future entrepreneurs. something i want to ask is about what is happening in terms of the social good enterprises. we are doing innovative stuff, creative stuff. we have seven out of 10 kids wanting to become engineers and
7:56 pm
programmers. there is no funding for policy that helps those start-ups. that does not exist in washington. is there any idea in terms of that industry that is innovating and disrupting education? >> evan, you want to say something? >> i think that -- i am always a skeptic on the idea of social good start-ups. my view is you are in it to make money. if you have investors you want to generate a return. i am fascinated by areas like education and technology and energy in politics because i think a are messed up a massive industries that present opportunities for destruction. that is my personal bias. that being said, i think there
7:57 pm
is a tremendous opportunity to inspire all of the talent we do have, the younger talent, around those issues. when i spend time with a lot of the -- i am 36. i am right on the edge, still able to relate to them. these are issues and are very passionate about and they care about. we joke in washington that washington has always been a city been inspired people to change the world. and we're in trying to get them to make an impact in these areas. as we have seen, a lot of challenges identifying the issues. and getting washington to solve them. going out and actually tackling these things might give you a much more of a tender ability to drive that change. -- the greatest inspiration i
7:58 pm
have been spending time with a lot of people in their late 20s's trying to tackle these problems in new ways, and incumbered by a lot of preconceived thinking about the challenges the country is facing and are not waiting around to wait for washington to make trains but trying to force the issue of having washington react to them. >> i think you bring up a good point. there is an organization in silicon valley organizationcode 2040. i think you're going to start to see more organizations like this where he is bringing in tech entrepreneurs that are from underrepresented groups and giving them exposure to silicon valley, giving them exposure to the start of space. i think when you start to see some of these programs you are
7:59 pm
going to change the outlook and exposure to this particular group. and a couple of other points, if you look a lot of start-ups, most of them do not have people that look like me. african-americans represent an% of the national population. in terms of start-ups, we are 1%. there is a tremendous opportunity to expose a lot of underrepresented groups to the start up a place. that is going to change the economy. if you look at the city of detroit, we are 80% african- american. the startup community does not near that. that means there is an opportunity. we can talk about the problems but there is an opportunity. the more you expo's other groups to it, what happens is now there is a tremendous amount of opportunity to be able to change the economic outlook of our society. >> we are out of time. we have to stop there. i want to thank you for

14 May 2007 | Author: Victoria | Category: Warez
This game's everything we hoped NOT to see in a PS2 title, specially one available on the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles, too. I couldn't imagine why a sane person would buy this title if he or she had already played another version of it. Spider-Man 3 should only be played if you get it for free (as a gift of borrowed from a friend), because it would be extremely frustrating to throw your money out the window by buying a recycled version of Spider-man 2, that's gone from bad to worse. After saving the universe way too many times, Ratchet and Clank are having a go at the retired life, but still help out Captain Qwark, or shall we say Galactic Akhan Vich Akhan Nu Rehn De Mp3 Qwark, from time to time. Now, after a failed revenge attempt by the evil Dr. Nefarious, the villain from Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, all four of them are transported on a special planet where some of the deadliest monsters from across the galaxy are being collected by a mysterious orbital space station. Enemies have more variety, ranging from classic thugs to ones armed with knives or swords, and even actual firearms that pose a real threat both to Batman and Catwoman. You can also find guys who wear armor or use shields to protect themselves from regular attacks. Opponents will also use objects around the environment, from fire extinguishers to chairs or dumpsters and, if you eliminate one of their weapon-wielding friends, they'll more than happily pick up their rifles or knives. As for the video and graphics aspect, the cute anime look certainly did the job and it definitely suckered me into a gameplay addiction spree. The environmental settings are not bad, although a little more detail could have went in them, but I guess this is compensated by a really crisp and smooth character detail. The attention given to the enhanced visual aspect of the characters is probably due to the advanced character customization feature that I've talked about previously. Rosters have changed and Thiery Henry is now a Barcelona player, while Real Madrid have been implemented as the average team they've become. There aren't many changes in the control system department, but it seems that the players' "coverage" has increased and they can steal the ball from the feet of some opponent from a reasonable distance. Till now you had to stick to the guy like glue in order to press the shoot button and take the ball away from him without committing a foul. I haven't had so much fun since... I can't even find a comparison term for this production. Nintendo struck gold and it's not the first time they exploit the Zelda franchise. They keep confirming that once you've produced a good game, you can easily use its fame and superb storyline and make sequels or ports till fans get fed up or get old and pass the gamer status to their children. Nobody saw this coming, but we expected the Wii to deliver something great and it didn't fail us. I said that noise is your enemy and you'd better check out the noise meter at all times to make sure that you're walking quietly. Sometimes it's better to cause some distraction, by throwing objects in the guards' direction. They will go see what created the no
Even with the lack of change, the pastoral greens of World Invitational can suck away hours of your life before you realize it. There's nothing quite like Hot Shots Golf, and it's easy to get lost in the enticing rhythm of your tap-tap-tap rise to greatness. Smooth accessibility opens the door to golfing novices, while the later courses should challenge even the chip-shot savants, and if you crave even more competition, an in-depth online mode lets you strut around like you own the joint. World Invitational is another rendition of the same old song, but with a beat this catchy, you'll be humming along all day. On the PlayStation 3, you accessed all your options from a single hub and drove your kart toward whatever feature you wanted to access. Akhan Vich Akhan Nu Rehn De Mp3 Trip's more traditional menu interface suffices, though it lacks that uniqueness that made the original so cohesive. Still, the menus make it simple enough to share your creations and download others. You can even download content created for the PlayStation 3 version, which gives Akhan Vich Akhan Nu Rehn De Mp3 Trip more longevity than if you were limited to PlayStation Vita-specific creations. This expansive sharing system spawns a sense of community, but that community is a limited one. While you can join local buddies in ad hoc races, there is no online play--a strange decision, considering that even the PSP version had online support. You can race against other players' ghosts, but that's not much consolation. But this sense of serenity is too often broken. Puddle is difficult and it demands focus; the slightest error--moving just a bit too slow or a bit too fast--can result in failure. There's value in this kind of grueling challenge. When you successfully guide your liquid to the exit, you may breathe a sigh of relief, like a scientist who has just completed a dangerous experiment in which the slightest mishandling of volatile chemicals might have resulted in catastrophe. But Puddle offers no relief. The completion of one nerve-racking stage means the beginning of the next. No one level takes more than a few minutes, start to finish, but some will likely take you dozens of tries, and eventually, being kicked back to a level's loading screen for the umpteenth time as you prepare to give that level yet another go can be infuriating. Further reinforcing the feeling that you're an actor playing a part rather than a participant in this tale are Jurassic Park's action scenes. During these quick-time events, you respond to prompts to make your character perform his or her predetermined actions. You hold or mash or rhythmically press buttons to do everything from swimming stealthily to scrambling out of reach of a velociraptor's snapping jaws. Comparisons to Heavy Rain are unavoidable, but whereas in Heavy Rain your errors could have lasting implications, resulting in the deaths of characters or other consequences, in Jurassic Park, there is only one way for things to play out. If you fail to respond to an input in time or otherwise fail the sequence, your character might meet a grisly end, but you're then returned to an earlier point to try the sequence again. The enemies don't offer much variety, either. They typically approach in groups and lob attacks at you like crazy, and you run to the side or behind them and spew attacks back. This description of combat holds true throughout the whole of Pokemon Rumble Blast. The game's idea of upping the challenge level isn't by giving enemies surprising new twists or abilities; it's by increasing the number of them onscreen at once and raising the amount of damage they can inflict. This leads to some bizarre difficulty spikes in a few areas where the enemies can deal out far more damage than you can, but the challenge lasts only until you recruit a Pokemon that's on equal footing. And don't expect any challenge from the bland, oft-recycled environments--levels are simplistic and linear with little in the way of obstacles or creative design. Although the story in Blades of Time is a poorly constructed mess, the events you partake in are anything but. Maneuverability is the binding force that makes chopping down foes a satisfying endeavor. Ayumi glides across the ground like an angel with a bad attitude, and a breezy dash lets you dive into and out of battle in a pinch. Attacks are limited to two buttons, which means you don't have much variety in your moves, and there is a noticeable lack of we

Cory Monteith's father has spoken about his son's death, claiming he was not invited to the cremation ceremony.
Joe Monteith, who divorced Monteith's mother Ann McGregor when the actor was seven, told TMZ he was "totally devastated" not to be invited to his son's cremation.
He claims he did not find out about the service until after the cremation happened on Tuesday.
Joe, a member of the military, told the US gossip site: "I always loved both my sons and am going to miss Cory very very much. I'm saddened at the fact that I couldn't have been there to see my son before he was cremated."
The actor's body was released to his mother Ann on Tuesday after the autopsy, which confirmed the actor died of substance abuse.
Glee star Monteith, 31, died in his hotel room in Vancouver on Saturday. The coroner's report revealed he died of a heroin and alcohol overdose. A statement said: "There is no evidence at this time to suggest Monteith's death was anything other than a most tragic accident."
The actor spoke of his relationship with his father in an interview with Parade magazine in 2011. The pair were reunited in 2009, the same year that Cory began his role in Glee as Finn Hudson.
He said: "We'd spoken maybe three of four times [during the period] and he reached out to me on Facebook. I couldn't shut the door, so I got on a plane. He greeted me at the airport…it was a good time."

Nice Buck - Long Drag!
7:35 am opening morning in Tuscarawas County Zoar, Ohio, I was setting in my tree stand enjoying Mother Nature as she was waking up. All of a sudden I heard what I thought was a grey squirrel that I had seen rooting around a few minutes before. I slowly turned my head to the left to see this nice 8 pointer headed towards me. I had seen 6 young bucks while scouting earlier in summer but never saw this buck.
He was coming down one of four trails that I had marked with red tape earlier in the summer while scouting and setting up stands. He walked out of the trail right under the tape marker 15 yards from my stand and turned broad side! I drew back and placed a perfect double lung shot and he bolted and made tracks for 60 yards then dropped.
Now at 46 years of age and 30 years of hunting the HEART POUNDING gets no less intense. Man what a rush to take an animal with nothing more than your bow and your skills!
Now for the funny part... I left home thinking "Oh it's just opening morning, the odds are I'll pass on the bucks I had seen scouting in summer and wait until later in season to rattle or call in a nice buck". Soooo I left the four wheeler at home. Now its a good 1/2 mile from the farm house to stand. I felt every yard of the drag back to truck and for a few days to come. But it was worth every yard. :-)
The buck weighed in at 279 pounds and the rack was scored at 128 1/4 with 2 inches in deductions. My bow is a 1979 Jennings compound with 60lb pull. 2117 gamegetters arrows and 125 grain broadheads. This combo shoots 156ft per second, way slow compared to today's bows.
May you always shoot straight.
Very nice buck there. You

Chicago could see its first snowfall of the season late Wednesday as temperatures are expected to dip and rain could turn into snowflakes.
Though the day is anticipated to begin with somewhat mild temperatures in the 50s, later in the day, the forecast will turn windier and colder, NBC Chicago reports. No accumulation is expected, though the overnight low will dip into the lower 30s.
The culprit, according to CBS Chicago, is a weather system that has produced snow near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which will be heading east and hitting the Chicago area. The city's western and far northern suburbs will likely be the first to experience the flurries.
Potential snowy weather and colder temperatures will continue through Thursday, according to NBC, in advance of a weekend that should feature milder weather and temperatures in the 50s, even as it is expected to rain on Sunday.
The Chicago Weather Center notes that the Chicago area is somewhat behind schedule when it comes to snowfall this year, as the average date of first flurries falling in the area is Oct. 31. But never fear, snow lovers: The city's upcoming winter is still expected to be on par with the previous season's record snowfall and cold temperatures in addition to being the nation's worst.

|Mavala Arabesque Collection Autumn Winter 2012
From left to right we have Metallic Grey (keep reading for more on that), Copper Gold, Shimmer Violet and Peacock Green.
I found it quite hard to decide which one to try first to I let my boyfriend pick. I thought it was an interesting choice for a boy!
|Mavala Arabesque – Metallic Grey
I love the way it is subtly iridescent and it is fab option if you want to go for a wintry colour that isn't dark dark dark. Beautiful.
This is one coat with a top coat but I think I may have been able to get away with one.
The Arabesque collection launches in November (now!!) at John Lewis and each bottle costs £4.30.

The cast of Love And Hip Hop Atlanta has evolved from a group of relative unknowns to some of the biggest stars in the reality game. So what were they like before they were famous? We found some of the cutest (Mimi! Erica and baby Emani!) and occasionally surprising (hello, Momma Dee glamour shot!) throwback photos of all of them to find out. Before there were crazy love triangles, before everyone had boob jobs and weaves, before things got criznayee, they were just a bunch of cute kids and regular folks doing their thing. (Want more? Check out these photos of Scrappy and Momma Dee from back in the day!)

Twitter has some very interesting plans for its newly-unveiled live search function: soon it will activate crawlers that will index the links users include in their Tweets. In one fell swoop that turns Twitter into an even more powerful news and opinion aggregator. Look and learn, Google.
The news came directly from Santosh Jayaran, VP of Operations at Twitter. Interestingly, he was previously VP of Search Quality at Google. Twitter plans to turn its search results from a mere list of updates that people tweet related to the topic you're searching for into a fully-fledged live data source.
For example: If you want to learn about swine flu, you'd search Twitter and turn up not only a list of opinions, facts, and news that people are Tweeting, but also information from the sites they linked to in their tweets—in this case it may well be other news sources, medical reference texts and so on. Similarly if someone tweeted a link to their blog post, you'd find data from that post appear in Twitter's search results also.
One thing Jayaran didn't disclose was exactly which content will be covered by the crawlers. If images or movies files were sampled and then appeared in the search fields alongside plain text, that would totally transform Twitter's search—and it's popular support sites like Twitpic—and in some cases making it way more potent than Google.
The danger of searching Twitter, of course, is that Twitter is as much a source of meaningless, trivial or incorrect data as interesting, valuable, real information—the inclusion of the extra info from external sites should help moderate that problem somewhat, helping you judge the "quality" of results turning up in the searches.
Jayaran has further plans on that front as well, and it involves a sort of filtering by reputation of Twitterers. Though this has a hint of centrally-biased censorship, the company is still researching exactly how to quantify a Twitterer's reputation—it certainly won't be based solely on the number of followers they have. In the future, the reputation-measuring algorithm is going to have to be pretty carefully monitored though—it's likely to have a big impact on how Twitter's search evolves, and Twitter's status as a live data source is probably the most valuable asset the company has.

GM Ignition Switch Recall Balloons to 2.2M Vehicles
General Motors' ignition switch recall just got a whole lot bigger.
The American automaker is expanding the recall to another 971,000 vehicles, 824,000 of which are in the U.S. The added vehicles cover the 2008-2010 Saturn Ion and Sky, Pontiac G5 and Solstice and the Chevrolet HHR. In addition, the 2008-2011 Chevrolet Cobalt has been added, bringing the total of recalled vehicles in the U.S. to about 2.2 million.
"We're taking no chances with safety" said CEO Mary Barra said in a statement. "Trying to locate several thousand switches in a population of 2.2 million and distributed to thousands of retailers isn't practical. Out of an abundance of caution, we are recalling the rest of the model years."
SEE ALSO: GM Ignition Switch-Related Deaths Could Have Been Avoided With Earlier Recall: Report
Last month, GM announced a recall on 1.37 million vehicles in the U.S. with the ignition switch defect that has been linked to 34 crashes and 12 deaths. In today's announcement of the recall, GM stated that it was not aware of any injuries or crashes involving the late-model cars.

Heritage Men's is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bill Taylor from Great Product - Need More Colors I understand the riding population in the US is predominately women, so finding mens riding apparel and footwear is hard due to the gender mix.However,the maleridingpopulation wants varietyand optionsaswell,and we also have disposable income. So, please offer more colors and options in your English riding channel for men.
Date published: 2014-01-31
Rated 3 out of 5 by David F. from Good, not the best. Very comfy! I do enjoy Ariat and appreciate they have English Attire for men in the US. However, the length and rise runs really small but the waist fits wellwhichposesa problem ifyou need to go up a size.Overall they're a good pair of breeches, I only use them for training though. I will say Ariat produces really comfortable breeches.

Rated 1 out of 5 by not a cowboy from Legs too short, rise too high/saggy crotch Unhappy with this pair of breeches. Ariats last so long just pony up for the Pro Circuit. They breath better than these inexpensive ones and don't sag in the crotch. Most irritating pair of breeches Ive had.
Date published: 2016-04-05
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anthony14 from Nice breeches at a good price These breeches I got last a good while and fit pretty well for the most part. Leg runs a little short but a very well made breech at an affordable price

Western Force back-row Ben McCalman has been cited for alleged foul play in Saturday's clash with the Highlanders in Dunedin.
Western Force back-row Ben McCalman has been cited for alleged foul play during Saturday's clash with the Highlanders in Dunedin.
McCalman is alleged to have contravened Law 10.4 (j) Lifting Tackle when he tackled Highlanders' prop Kane Hames in the 73rd minute of the match which the Force won 31-29.
The referee for the match, Glen Jackson, issued a yellow card for the tackle.
Upon further review of the match footage the citing commissioner deemed in his opinion the incident had met the red card threshold for foul play.
The citing is to be considered in the first instance by SANZAR duty judicial officer Nicholas Davidson.
All SANZAR disciplinary matters are in the first instance referred to a duty judicial officer hearing to provide the option of expediting the judicial process.
For a matter to be dispensed with at this hearing, the person appearing must plead guilty and accept the penalty offered by the duty judicial officer.

This whitepaper considers the alignment of ITSM within a TOGAF aligned enterprise.
A key driver for having such an alignment is to remove the business execution silos that come to exist in an enterprise when implementing projects that fall under either ITIL 3 or TOGAF 9. At a high level, we propose to remove such silos by creating a mapping between the two frameworks as well as between ITSM and TOGAF 9. This should create a standard set of artifacts or standard interfaces between those artifacts so that an enterprise may have a common platform for both service management and enterprise architectures. Such commonality is best implemented at the initial requirements establishment phase of an initiative and so the necessary information sharing and processes should be in place at the outset.
Our recommendation is for this to happen within the wider TOGAF 9 context where ITIL 3 can be considered as an integral extension of enterprise architecture. This is achievable because there is a lot of synergy between ITSM's ITIL 3 and the TOGAF 9 framework, especially since TOGAF 9 has shifted to a more service-orientated approach to Enterprise Architecture.

This review is from: ENERMAX KB006U-B Black 82 Normal Keys 12 Function Keys USB Mini Aurora Micro Aluminum Keyboard
Pros: Quality, space saving size, quiet keys, layout of keys is very nice and usable for a small keyboard, feel/response of keys is excellent, works flawlessly, nice looking.
Cons: None for me. I've used it daily all this year.
Other Thoughts: I don't use numbers often and wanted to create a more ergonomic layout for my keyboard and mouse and it works well to have the mouse closer to the keyboard.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ENERMAX KB006U-B Black 82 Normal Keys 12 Function Keys USB Mini Aurora Micro Aluminum Keyboard
Pros: Plug and play, solid build, great feel on the keys, quiet keys, looks nice, is small, has USB 2.0 ports, and leaves more room for the mouse since there are no number keys.
Cons: 1. I use one of the two USB ports on the keyboard for my cordless mouse. It occasionally disconnects and I have to unplug and replug to regain usage of my mouse. I haven't been able to identify what causes this or if it is a problem with the keyboard or my computer. However, all other USB ports attached to my computer work without disconnecting.
2. The right shift key is a stretch for my short pinky finger but I'm getting used to it. Still, it slows down the flow of typing for me.
Other Thoughts: The shortcut keys aren't great for me because they are a reach (making them long-cuts). It is easier to use windows shortcuts with right-clicking and/or by using the Windows Key. Volume control would be nice but I have that on my mouse.
If it lasts for several years, it will have earned the 4 stars I gave it.
This review is from: ASUS 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black IDE Model DRW-2014L1 LightScribe Support
Pros: Does a lot for a low price.
Cons: This thing is loud! Much louder than any of many drives I've had. Right out of the box I noticed there is something loose inside that rattles around. Even though I chose custom install to avoid this, the Nero freeware tries to take over the computer.
Other Thoughts: Now that I've spent the money on lightscribe discs, this unit, and shipping, I'll keep it, but the quality of the build looks and sounds poor.READ FULL REVIEW
