We live in an entrepreneurial society in an entrepreneurial age. Surveys consistently rank the United States as one of the most entrepreneurial countries in the world. Moreover, the rate of new firm creation in the United States has grown dramatically since the mid-1970s. The number of organizations created each year has reached levels that have not been seen since records have been kept (the past 150 years). As a result of this entrepreneurial orientation, approximately 4 percent of the U.S. labor force is involved in starting a new company every year—more than the number of people getting married or having children each year![1]—bringing the total of business owners to about 13 percent of the nonagricultural labor force.[2]
In addition, our economy operates through a process of creative destruction. Every year large, established corporations are toppled from their positions of dominance by start-up companies whose new ways of doing business render the competitive advantages of established firms obsolete. A glance at the pages of the Fortune 500 over the past several decades indicates incredible fluidity among the listed companies. Very few Fortune 500 companies remain Fortune 500 companies for more than a decade or two. Every year new companies go public and use the capital that they raise to challenge established industry leaders. The tendency for our economy to create new firms that topple giants in their industries has made successful entrepreneurs such as Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Steve Jobs, Sam Walton, and Meg Whitman, who have founded these giant-killers, heroes and household names.
Despite the entrepreneurial orientation of our economy, and the iconlike status of successful entrepreneurs, most of the entrepreneurial activity that takes place in our economy is actually a dismal failure. Much like the typical lottery ticket buyer who dreams of being the jackpot winner, but ends up holding a handful of losing tickets, the typical entrepreneurial effort ends in a business closure that was not financially beneficial to its founder. Forty percent of all new businesses started in the United States do not live one year, more than two-thirds of new business created in this country die before their fifth birthday, and only 25 percent of new businesses survive eight years. Moreover, most entrepreneurs make very little money. On average, an entrepreneur who continues a business for 10 years—the elite few who manage to survive that long—make only 65 percent of the value of the real earnings that they made in their previous employment, including their return on stock ownership in their new company.[3]
Obviously, something separates successful entrepreneurs from the masses who try their hand at this activity every year. This book identifies the key difference between the successes and the masses—the selection of the right business concept to exploit a valuable opportunity. The central goal of this book is to provide you, as a potential or actual technology entrepreneur, with the tools necessary to identify the right business concept to exploit a valuable opportunity when you establish your business.
Of course, the information provided in this book will not guarantee you success in a high-technology entrepreneurship. Much in the same way as having the right form for a jump shot will not guarantee that a basketball player will earn $20 million per year in the NBA, understanding what makes a business a good one for an entrepreneur to start will not guarantee that you, as an entrepreneur, will take a start-up public, replace the leading companies in an industry, or even be profitable. However, understanding the information in this book, and following the rules that it outlines, will dramatically increase the probability of a successful outcome.
You probably noticed that the title of this book implies that it focuses on technology entrepreneurship, and I have not said anything about technology businesses yet. The title of the book is not wrong—the book is indeed about technology entrepreneurship—and this is the first lesson of being a successful entrepreneur. On average, entrepreneurs are more successful if they create high-technology start-ups than if they initiate low-technology start-ups. This is not to say that you cannot be successful if you start a low technology business. You only have to look to Sam Walton and Walmart to know that is not true.
However, being a successful entrepreneur involves playing the odds, not looking at extreme examples. Much like most professional gamblers know that they cannot guarantee they will win any given game they play at a casino in Las Vegas or Atlantic City, but play the games that have the best odds, most professional entrepreneurs play the opportunities that have the highest probability of generating profitable private companies or create new public companies. Professional entrepreneurs—serial entrepreneurs such as Jim Clark, who founded Netscape and Healtheon—and their professional investors, the venture capitalists who finance many of these firms, almost always focus on high technology businesses because they know that the odds of success are best with these kinds of companies. These professionals know, for example, that, over the past 25 years, the number one factor predicting the proportion of start-up firms in an industry that become one of the Inc 500 fastest growing companies or have gone public is the proportion of technical employees in the industry. They also know that the number one predictor of new business failure is the industry in which the firm is founded, with retail businesses and restaurants having extremely high failure rates.
Despite the clear effect of industry on the probability of new venture success, the typical entrepreneur starts a business in low-technology industry such as retail or restaurants, where the failure rate of new businesses is highest and the average profits are lowest. Unlike the successful entrepreneurs, typical entrepreneurs choose to start businesses in the wrong industries, making them very unlikely to be successful.
While this observation is disheartening because it illustrates how the majority of entrepreneurs set themselves up for failure, it is also instructive. It demonstrates that you can maximize your chances of success by following the example of professional entrepreneurs and their investors by choosing the right industries to enter, and ignoring the example of the mass of uninformed and unsuccessful entrepreneurs who select the wrong ones.
One thing that is important to clarify right at the outset of this book is what I mean by technology. In recent years, there has been a tendency for the media to use the word technology to mean information technology (IT). These days, when you turn on CNBC or read the Wall Street Journal, and you hear or see the word "technology" to describe something, it is usually in reference to IT companies. This book uses the word technology in a broader, more traditional sense. Technology is the embodiment of knowledge in ways that make it possible to create new products, exploit new markets, use new ways of organizing, incorporate new raw materials, or use new processes to meet customer needs. Certainly, information technology—the use of zeros and ones in digital form on computers—is an important technology, but there are many other important technologies as well. Biologically based technologies, such as those used to create new drugs or to clean up pollution, are also important. Similarly, mechanically based technologies, such as those that make pumps or valves, matter. New materials, such as those in new ceramic composites, are valuable.
When I refer to technology in this book, I do not just mean simply information technology, though that is certainly one form of technology; I also mean new microorganisms, new mechanical devices, new materials, and a host of other things. So when you see the phrase technology start-up in this book, do not just think of the Internet and computer software companies, think of new businesses producing fuel cells, ceramic composites, new drugs, heart valves, and a variety of other things that are the embodiment of knowledge as a way to meet customer needs. Therefore, this is not just a book about how to create successful Internet or software companies; it is also a book about how to create successful companies in biotechnology, medical devices, materials, manufacturing components, and other industries that are reliant on new technology.
This book is different from most books on entrepreneurship in three important ways. First, the book focuses on what matters the most for successful entrepreneurship—picking a good opportunity for starting a new business—rather than what most people write about—the attributes of successful entrepreneurs. Why is this latter approach a problem? Because of what academic research has shown about entrepreneurship. Despite decades of effort to identify the special features of successful entrepreneurs, there really are none. Anyone can become a successful entrepreneur. You do not need special psychological characteristics or attitudes. Take the example of Bill Gates. He is not a billion times more successful than the average entrepreneur who founds a restaurant because he has a billion times larger endowment of special psychological traits and attitudes than the average entrepreneur. Instead, Bill Gates is more successful because the creation of the DOS operating system—the technology on which he built Microsoft—created a superb opportunity for the creation of a new business. It was much more valuable than the opportunity for any of the retail or restaurant businesses that the average entrepreneur starts.
I do not mean to imply that entrepreneurial attitudes and talent do not help entrepreneurs. Certainly having better entrepreneurial talent and attitudes than other people helps entrepreneurs to perform better, all other things being equal. However, we live in a world where all other things are not equal, and what accounts for the vast majority of entrepreneurial success is the business opportunity that a person chooses to pursue. Academic research on entrepreneurship has shown that the effect of business opportunities on the performance of new ventures is so large that it swamps the effect of entrepreneurs' characteristics. While it wouldn't hurt to be a good entrepreneur no matter what business you start, what really matters is picking the right business for a start-up.
To put this in plain English, even at the risk of putting too fine a point on it, if you start a biotechnology firm, your chances of success are much greater than if you start a restaurant. The difference between a biotechnology firm and a restaurant is so great that the differences between individual entrepreneurs exert little more than a rounding error on the performance of the ventures.
If what separates successful entrepreneurs from everyone else is an understanding of how to pick the right opportunities for starting new companies, then what a good book on entrepreneurship should do is tell readers how to pick the right opportunities. Unfortunately, that isn't what most books do. This book differs from almost all other entrepreneurship books because it sets aside the discussion of the things that make some people better entrepreneurs than others and focuses attention on the characteristics of great opportunities for new businesses.
This book also is also different from most books on entrepreneurship, which focus on how to get a new company started rather than on what kind of business is a good one to start. While books on "how to start a business" are fine for answering questions like "how to incorporate a company" or "how to fill out tax form," they do nothing to help entrepreneurs to start successful companies. Unfortunately for entrepreneurs, there is no answer to the "how-to" question that is a secret to success. So there is no way to follow the recommendations of any of these how-to books to increase the chances of being a successful technology entrepreneur.
The "how-to-get-started books" miss the point of what would-be entrepreneurs need. As I said when I began this introduction, most people do not have a problem getting started in business; they have a harder time figuring out the right business to start. So what you need is a book that tells you how to pick a business opportunity that will make you successful, not how to get started in business. This book will help you to identify an opportunity for your new business and define your business concept.
Moreover, the book takes the idea of explaining how to pick the right business opportunity seriously by developing a framework of rules for success that are based on academic research which shows the things that make new companies successful. The book uses this framework to identify specific tools for identifying your business opportunity and developing your business concept that you can use to enhance the performance of your new company—such things as tools for the evaluation of customer needs for new products, tools for measuring adoption and diffusion patterns, tools for financing new companies, and tools for protecting a new venture's intellectual property. By bringing these tools together in one place and translating them from academic-speak into plain English, this book provides you with an understanding of how to create a successful new technology company.
This book additionally focuses on explaining how to identify a business concept that can support the development of a successful technology-based business. This is important because the performance of technology-based businesses—businesses such as the Internet, pollution abatement chemicals, high-temperature ceramics, fuel cells, and so on—depend on a variety of factors that are not present or are of relatively little importance in businesses not based on technology. The important factors in technology-based businesses, which are discussed in later chapters, include such things as intellectual property, increasing returns, dominant designs, diffusion, and S-curves. By explaining how to harness the factors that influence the performance of businesses in high-technology industries, this book provides you with the tools to create successful companies in these industries. Understanding and applying these tools helps you, as a high-technology entrepreneur, because the application of many concepts from low-technology business settings to high technology industries fails to help most entrepreneurs to be successful and, in some cases, even hinders their performance.
Why is this book's focus on the factors that matter to high-technology entrepreneurship unique? Given the fact that technology-based businesses are, on average, the most successful new businesses, you would think that many authors would focus their attention on these kinds of businesses. However, almost all existing books in the market discuss entrepreneurship in general, without considering the special nature of high technology. As a result, there really are no good guides available to explain to people the keys to success with high-technology enterprises. This book fills this void. It explains how the special characteristics of high technology influence what needs to be done to be successful with new technology-based businesses.
Having said what this book does, it is only fair to tell you what it doesn't do. This book doesn't deal with the process of starting a company once you have identified your valuable opportunity. It doesn't deal with things like how to write a business plan or how to raise money or how to create a venture team or how to hire employees. There are many books out there that can explain these things to you. While it certainly wouldn't hurt to read these other books, the information contained in them is not a substitute for what is contained here. No matter what you do after you have identified a business opportunity, it is good to have selected a valuable one. And the lessons contained here will help you to do just that.
You should read this book if you are thinking of starting a business. Ideally, you should read this book when you are first deciding what type of business you are going to start. Because this book focuses on identifying the fertile ground for your new business—what opportunity you should pursue and how you should pursue it—it is designed to help you conduct a feasibility analysis of your business opportunity. The frameworks described in the following pages, along with the recommendations for "dos" and "don'ts" and the questions to ask yourself are designed to help you to think about the business ideas that you come up with. Are they good for starting a new business? Will your venture be planted in fertile ground? Or will it be planted in arid soil that will make it very hard for you to succeed even if you are a great entrepreneur?
Moreover, you have probably thought of three or four ideas for a new business and you don't know which one to pursue. The discussion in the pages that follow will help you to figure out which of these opportunities is the best. After all, you are only going to be able to pursue one of your business ideas at a time. So you might as well pursue the best one first.
Even if you do not want to be the next Bill Gates, building the next big thing, taking your company public and becoming fabulously wealthy, this book will still be valuable to you. It is still easier to have a nice, comfortable business if you find fertile ground and pursue an opportunity that tends to favor start-up companies.
Because I have said that this book uses academic research to create a framework for understanding how to create successful technology-based new companies, it is only fair for me to tell you the source of information underlying this book. The book has two specific sources of information. Some parts of the framework and evidence presented here are based on my own primary research. Other parts are based on the research of other academics. Regardless of the source, this book compiles, combines, and translates into plain English, material that is otherwise available only in a variety of different academic articles and books. As a result, you will find all of the key concepts that you need to understand to be a successful technology entrepreneur summarized and explained in one place, presented in a clear and straightforward manner.
Successful technology entrepreneurs approach entrepreneurship differently from other entrepreneurs, not because they are smarter than or different from other people, but because they have learned how to identify valuable opportunities for new technology companies. This book presents ten rules for entrepreneurs to follow to develop a business concept that will provide the basis for a successful high-technology company. Each of these rules is explained in a different chapter of the book. The rules are
Select the right industry
Identify valuable opportunities
Manage technological transitions
Identify and satisfy real market needs
Understand customer adoption
Exploit established company weaknesses
Manage intellectual property
Create barriers to imitation
Choose the right organizational form
Manage risk and uncertainty
The first rule of technology entrepreneurship explained in this book is to select the right industry in which to found a new firm. Some industries are simply better than other industries for the creation of new companies. For instance, fully one-fourth of all the companies listed on Inc magazine's list of the 500 fastest growing private companies since 1982 have been software firms. Moreover, the proportion of start-ups in an industry that experience an initial public offering or are listed in the Inc 500 varies by a factor of over 800 times between some of the more favorable industries and some of the less favorable ones. Chapter 1 identifies the industries that are favorable for founding new firms and explains why those industries are more favorable to new firms than other industries. Specifically, the chapter examines five different dimensions of industry differences that influence the performance of new firms: knowledge conditions, demand conditions, industry life cycles, the presence or absence of a dominant design, and industry structure.
The second rule of technology entrepreneurship is to identify valuable opportunities. One of the ironies of entrepreneurship is that, despite the motivation of the world's entrepreneurs, we do not really need many new businesses. Established businesses are already meeting most market needs quite effectively because, in the absence of some sort of external change, someone will have figured out already how to satisfy the needs of potential customers. Therefore, to be a successful technology entrepreneur, you have to find an external change that creates an opportunity for a new business. Chapter 2 explains why opportunities for new technology companies exist and what the sources of those opportunities are. In general, three sources of change—new technology, political and regulatory shifts, and social and demographic movements—open up opportunities. The chapter also discusses the types of innovations that generate entrepreneurial opportunities, as well as the place within and outside the value chain where those innovations tend to occur. Furthermore, the chapter explains why and how some people and not others identify those opportunities.
The third rule of technology entrepreneurship is to manage technological transitions. Entrepreneurial success is enhanced by starting a firm to transition from one technological paradigm to another because change in a technological paradigm undermines the advantage of established firms. For example, few entrepreneurs have ever been able to start new firms that challenge Kodak's position in traditional film, but the shift to digital camera technology made it possible for many entrepreneurs to enter and compete with Kodak. Chapter 3 explains how you can manage technological transitions to become successful. The chapter explains
Why technologies follow evolutionary patterns of change that open up discrete points of transition between technological paradigms that are valuable to entrepreneurs.
How you can forecast the S-shaped pattern of technological development and use this pattern to manage when and how to enter industries.
How dominant designs influence competition by entrepreneurial ventures.
How you can exploit technical standards to enhance the success of your new business.
What you should do differently to be successful in increasing returns businesses, which are common in high technology.
The fourth rule of technology entrepreneurship is to identify and satisfy a real market need. To be successful, you must introduce a new product or service that offers an economical solution to an unsatisfied customer need or that satisfies a customer need better than existing alternatives. Chapter 4 explains how successful entrepreneurs go about identifying customer needs for high technology products and services in ways that go beyond the traditional market research methods of surveys and focus groups. The chapter provides insight into why and how the advantages of successful new firms lie in product development rather than in manufacturing or marketing. Finally, the chapter explains how successful technology entrepreneurs identify the key decision makers in purchasing decisions, as well as how these entrepreneurs price their new products and services to make them attractive to these decision makers.
The fifth rule of technology entrepreneurship is to understand customer adoption and market dynamics. Contrary to the popular conception that evaluating markets is as simple as looking for large markets, evaluating markets for new technology products and services is relatively complicated. In particular, it requires successful entrepreneurs to take a dynamic approach that forecasts the adoption patterns for new technology products and services and explains how markets for these products and services evolve. Chapter 5 explains why new companies have to focus their new product or service development efforts on particular market segments, but why choosing where to focus effort is hard to do. The chapter also explains how successful entrepreneurs evaluate the customer and their reasons to buy as a way to determine where to focus their efforts. Furthermore, the chapter discusses the evolution of markets for new technology products and services, particularly the dynamics of technology diffusion and substitution.
The sixth rule of technology entrepreneurship is to exploit established company weaknesses. Most of the time, established companies succeed when they compete with new firms because of the wealth of advantages in marketing and manufacturing that they have. However, established firms have several weaknesses that hinder their efforts to exploit technological opportunities that new firms can exploit. Chapter 6 identifies what you should do to compete successfully with established firms in high-technology settings. For instance, the chapter explains why you should pursue uncertain, disruptive technologies that demand new architectures, first focusing on niche customers in small market segments, and then expanding up market. The chapter also explains why you should focus on technologies that cannibalize established firms' investments, make established firm capabilities obsolete, and impose large exit costs on firms using the old technology.
The seventh rule of technology entrepreneurship is to manage intellectual property effectively. Introducing a product or service that meets a market need is a necessary, but not sufficient condition to profit from innovation. You must also protect your innovation against imitation. Chapter 7 discusses basic ideas behind appropriating the returns to innovation, focusing on the choice between secrecy and patenting.
The eighth rule of technology entrepreneurship is to create barriers to imitation. Chapter 8 examines how you can create barriers to imitation by controlling resources, establishing a reputation, creating a first mover advantage, exploiting the learning curve, and making use of complementary assets in manufacturing, marketing and distribution.
The ninth rule of technology entrepreneurship is to choose the right organizational form. Chapter 9 explains when you are best off owning the various parts of the value chain, such as product development, manufacturing, and distribution, and when you are best off using market-based mechanisms, such as licensing, franchising, and strategic alliances, to control them.
The tenth rule of technology entrepreneurship is to manage risk and uncertainty effectively. Chapter 10 describes the tools and techniques that successful entrepreneurs use to reduce, reallocate, and manage risk. The chapter also discusses the use of real options and scenario analysis, as well as behavioral techniques for convincing others to bear risk, such as escalation of commitment, bringing together different parties at the same time, and closing skills.
The conclusion of the book returns to the theme introduced in the first chapter about the importance of understanding how to identify valuable opportunities for the creation of new technology companies. Specifically, it summarizes the key actions that you should take to come up with an opportunity that will support, and even foster, the creation of a new high-technology company.
The next chapter explores the first key lesson in starting a successful new high-technology company: picking the right industry.

Our Govt. doesn't work without pressure: Sri Sri
The Jan Lokpal Bill is only a first aid kit. It can instill some fear in people. To eradicate corruption completely, we need a spiritual awakening in the society, spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has said.
Talking to rediff.com, Sri Sri said: "Patriotism, love and a sense of belongingness can help rid the society of corruption."
Denying that people had taken over the Parliament, the spiritual leader said: "By listening to people's demands, the power of Parliament does not get overridden. Parliament is there to hear the voice of the people. Unfortunately, nothing in our government works without pressure."

Is it so wrong that I want to shout, "Hurry up, already!" every other time I read an issue of "Cable?" Don't get me wrong, I think the book has sped things up for the better since its initial storyline. But there are times when I wonder just how much Duane Swierczynski is biding his time, stretching things out a bit.
Where Swierczynski is shining here is the relationship between Cable and Hope; now that Hope's no longer a little baby, he's able to start really getting a father/daughter relationship going between the two of them, and in many ways she's just the right foil for Cable that he's never really had up until now. She's definitely the upbeat one of the two of them, but Swierczynski keeps her from ever feeling too good-natured or like a Pollyanna. I also really appreciated that we're getting into her head as well; she's been a real cipher up until now, a face without a personality, so it's nice to see just what makes her tick.
On the other hand, well, I do think it's safe to say that if "Cable" never has a story set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland ever again, I would be just happy with that. Somehow I don't think my wish is about to be granted, though. "Cable" is dangerously treading into the "more of the same" territory, where if it wasn't for Jamie McKelvie's guest art for most of this issue, I'm not entirely sure I'd be able to tell this issue apart from most of the others from the past year.
That said, McKelvie finishing up his portions of this two issue storyline was a nice change of pace, if admittedly a little odd. Don't get me wrong, McKelvie's work on comics like "Phonogram" and "Suburban Glamour" both get a big thumbs up from me; he's one of a select few artists (like Chynna Clugston or Bryan Lee O'Malley) who I think really get and understand current urban fashions and trends and successfully bring them onto the page. So of all the artists to draw two characters wandering around in a dessert, McKelvie is perhaps not the person who would immediately spring to mind. It's certainly not playing to his strengths, although he does a good a job as he can with what he's given. His clean, uncluttered style still comes across well, and is at its best when it's Cable and Hope interacting with each other, but it never feels 100% appropriate for Swierczynski's script.
In the end, it's not a bad issue of "Cable" but I'm starting to really hope for a slightly different direction. I'm not saying we need Cable and Hope back in the present day, but something a little different (and more stable) would be nice. Please?

In creating her business, Krista Sermon broke more than one tradition
Krista Sermon's desire to cook simmered all through law school and beyond. She wanted to further her culinary skills, but she felt pressured to practice law. So for three years she kept at it, working one year in debt collection, a second in family law and a third in social services in Baltimore.
During her first pregnancy, she decided to listen to her heart.
Deputy director Sherrod Sturrock steps up to lead
Calvert Marine Museum keeps track of the ages. You learn about the prehistoric Chesapeake there by encountering creatures that lived in that shallow, warm ocean and on its shores. About the humans who followed ages later, and how the water enriched their lives. About the creatures that evolved, died and live in Chesapeake Bay and the Patuxent River.
Maryland ghost-chasers shed light on hauntings
The modern ghost hunter, also called a paranormal investigator, has many tools to help detect a spirit. These include infrared cameras, electromagnetic field detectors, thermometers, recorders and spirit boxes.

Award-winning cakes are this third-grade teacher's sideline
When Terry Tuttle went back to school, his third-graders at Shady Side Elementary had to settle for map studies instead of cake frosting.
Tuttle's cake work begins after the kids run free at 3:40pm. Then, after his own children are settled into their after-school routine in his Churchton home, he creates masterpieces out of batter and frosting.
As lifelong power-boaters, could we catch on?
After a lifetime of power-boating on a variety of vessels, my wife and I sold our 28-foot diesel powerboat to try our hand at sailing.
You read our story — Trading Our Combustion Engine for the Power of the Wind — in Bay Weekly's spring Back to the Water issue (www.bayweekly.com/node/32661).
How did we fare?
She saw Annapolis's potential as a center of art
When Cynthia McBride was a kid driving a tractor on her family's Minnesota farm, art was not on her mind or in her future. At her father's right hand, she watched as he managed the farm, purchased seed and equipment, planned for future crops. The seed of art that flourishes in the largest art gallery in historic Annapolis sprouted with her mother, a painter with a home studio.
Who is that man?
Each morning as he brews his coffee, long-time Arnold resident Tom Plott asks himself: Who am I today?
Well, if it's Thursday, he's likely to be Dr. James Craik, George Washington's closest friend and personal physician. The good doctor often roams George Washington's Mount Vernon estate in Northern Virginia on weekdays, regaling visitors with stories about his beloved friend.
Bay Weekly's Labor Day parade of working people
Summer is swell. During its short stay, we imagine a vista of fun, sun and long vacations. The reality is a little different, with heat, humidity and the necessity of working for a living.
About half of us Americans are in the work force, according to the bureau of Labor Statistics. Come Labor Day, we're back to the work that gives so many of us a life as well as a living.
Millennial musicians break bigger
The capital city music scene is thriving. Over the last decade, the downtown bar scene and plentiful local venues have bred musicians now flourishing on a larger scale. Reggae rockers Joey Harkum — whose band Pasadena honors his home town — and Brandon Hardesty — who inspired Bumpin Uglies — went from strumming on the docks and breaking into open mikes to selling out local venues and touring coast to coast....

True youth protection can be achieved only through the focused commitment of everyone in Scouting. It is the mission of Youth Protection volunteers and professionals to work within the Boy Scouts of America to maintain a culture of Youth Protection awareness and safety at the national, regional, area, council, district, and unit levels.
The Boy Scouts of America places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members. To maintain such an environment, the BSA developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and leaders with resources for the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing programs.
New to Scouting? Click here to login and take Youth Protection training .
You do not have to be a registered member of the Boy Scouts of America to take Youth Protection training.
Leadership Selection
The Boy Scouts of America takes great pride in the quality of our adult leadership. Being a leader in the BSA is a privilege, not a right. The quality of the program and the safety of our youth members call for high-quality adult leaders. We work closely with our chartered organizations to help recruit the best possible leaders for their units.
The adult application requests background information that should be checked by the unit committee or the chartered organization before accepting an applicant for unit leadership. While no current screening techniques exist that can identify every potential child molester, we can reduce the risk of accepting a child molester by learning all we can about an applicant for a leadership position—his or her experience with children, why he or she wants to be a Scout leader, and what discipline techniques he or she would use.
Required Training
- Youth Protection training is required for all BSA registered volunteers.
- Youth Protection training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer's Youth Protection training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.
The "three R's" of Youth Protection
The "three R's" of Youth Protection convey a simple message for the personal awareness of our youth members:
- Recognize that anyone could be a molester.
- Respond when someone is doing something that goes against your gut or against the safety guidelines.
- Report attempted or actual molestation or any activity that you think is wrong to a parent or other trusted adult.
Youth Protection Reporting Procedures for Volunteers
There are two types of Youth Protection–related reporting procedures all volunteers must follow:
- When you witness or suspect any child has been abused or neglected—See "Mandatory Report of Child Abuse" below.
- When you witness a violation of the BSA's Youth Protection policies—See "Reporting Violations of BSA Youth Protection Policies" below.
Mandatory Report of Child Abuse
All persons involved in Scouting shall report to local authorities any good-faith suspicion or belief that any child is or has been physically or sexually abused, physically or emotionally neglected, exposed to any form of violence or threat, exposed to any form of sexual exploitation, including the possession, manufacture, or distribution of child pornography, online solicitation, enticement, or showing of obscene material. You may not abdicate this reporting responsibility to any other person.
Steps to Reporting Child Abuse
- Ensure the child is in a safe environment.
- In cases of child abuse or medical emergencies, call 911 immediately. In addition, if the suspected abuse is in the Scout's home or family, you are required to contact the local child abuse hotline.
- Notify the Scout executive or his/her designee.
Reporting Violations of BSA Youth Protection Policies
If you think any of the BSA's Youth Protection policies have been violated, including those described within Scouting's Barriers to Abuse, you must notify your local council Scout executive or his/her designee so appropriate action can be taken for the safety of our Scouts.
- Find your local Scout executive.
- The Incident Information form can be accessed here .
- For more information on incident reporting, click here.
NEW Youth-on-Youth Training Materials
The Boy Scouts of America places the greatest importance on creating the safest environment possible for our youth members. To that end, BSA's ScoutingU has created some additional Youth Protection training to professionals, volunteers, and leaders regarding the prevention of youth-on-youth incidents that might occur within the context of Scouting, especially in a camping or overnight setting. It is designed to help prepare adult leaders to prevent and appropriately respond to these incidents.
This informational document with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation for BSA leaders, parents, volunteers, and professionals should be delivered at the council, district, or unit level by a Youth Protection Champion, training chair, district chair, district executive, or other appropriate Scout leader to leaders for camping and overnight activities.
Suggested training opportunities include:
- Existing facilitator-led Youth Protection training sessions
- Pre-camp leaders' meetings for summer camp and first-time leaders' meetings at all outings
- Camp schools
- Scout executives' and district executives' trainings on responding to youth protection incidents
- Other training events that include the "Youth Protection Training for Volunteer Leaders and Parents" DVD

Re: Company C 191st Tank Battalion
In reply to:
Re: Company C 191st Tank Battalion
Louie FranklinTurner 3/20/03
Fits info on my dad's discharge paper, all but - left Europe Oct. 6, 1945
and entered N.Y.Oct 13, 1945. This is were my dad and most his
buddies left from to go home. He had told me a very moving story about all of them seeing the LADY in N.Y.harbor when they came in on the ship.
My dad was discharged on Nov. 19, 1945.
I also know the group was not training in Africa, Dad said they saw alot of action there.
Was wondering what main group the company was with? I know it was not under Patton, who was the 3th, right????
Dad had told us kids many times but now I can't remember, think it may have been the 5th army.
Was the Generals , Bradly (sp?) and Clark?
Know dad was with some of the first troops into Silily and Rome.
Dad received a medal from Eisenhower in France and a week later got
called into his office in Paris and Eisenhower told him his little brother had been killed in a hunting accident in the states. My brother did have the letter Eisenhower sent to my dad with another medal a few months later and it had the info on it I want but my brother can't find the letter right now, stored it somewhere.
Was hoping to find out where the history of dad's group may be located.
I am putting together our family tree for my son and wanted to put the history down for him. He had been very close to his grandpa.
Thanks for your help.

I was trying to blog more, but I fell off the wagon. To be honest, I've been pretty boring the last few weeks anyway. Plus I caught a case of the writers block. I'll be in Vegas in exactly one week with a group of friends. This will mark my 7th time there. I said I wasn't going to buy anything new, but 4 bathing suits (cheap ones at least), 4 pairs of sandals, some new tops, and an awesome pair of sunglasses later, here we are. One of the last times I was there, they were filming an episode of Cops. I should have followed them around, that's the real adventure there.
I normally try to avoid Vegas during the summer months, as it is an actual furnace. But alas, here we are, going in June. 😦 It's going to be about 1000°, according my very scientific and not exaggerated calculations. Let's give or take a degree or two. So I will be dressing like Cam from Modern Family. I asked to borrow my friends parasol, and she no longer has it. She did recommend a giant visor she just got, and it makes her look like a bee-keeper. But I declined. I already bought a giant new floppy sunhat (it's sparkly!) when I was in the Bahamas. I'll be taking that along. I do tan folks, but my tolerance for boiling to death is very low. Hence why I hope I'm able to enjoy myself without my sandals melting to the pavement.

Excerpt from The Function and Benefits of Poufs for Living Room:
Generally, minimalist home or apartment would be featured with loveseat or small sofa. However, when more guests come for a visit, it will obviously not provide enough space. That very situation makes people consider poufs for living room. The low and handy form will not make your living room seem crowded before the real crowds actually fill the air. It is also moveable, so you could use it for other purpose or move it to the other rooms when it is needed somewhere else in your home.

Kids swimming lessons have been suspended after a fault led to just a 2 degree drop in a pool's temperature.
Mansfield District Council has apologised to customers at the Meden Sports Centre in Warsop where, due to a collapsed water pipe, the temperature of the swimming pool will be slightly lower for a few days.
Mansfield District Leisure Trust, which manages the facility for Mansfield District Council, is working closely with Meden School and Nottinghamshire County Council to ensure that the temperature of the pool is reinstated as soon as possible.
Normally the pool is more than 30C but the fault means the temperature is around 28C.
Public swimming sessions are still running but primary school lessons have been suspended until the fault has been repaired. It is hoped the fault will be fixed within the next few days. In the meantime, keep checking the Mansfield District Leisure Trust website or Mansfield District Council website and social media sites for updates.
A spokesman added: "We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused."

There are lots of individuals who want to move out of their current dwelling, however are unable to sell their property for the quantity they want. And in case you did not know there are residence improvement loans for spotty credit additionally. I will talk about the positives and negatives associated with house fairness loans, home fairness lines of credit, and personal home enchancment loans, as well as ideas to remember when you're in search of funding.
Many individuals assume dwelling improvement loans and residential fairness loans are synonymous, however that's not the case. But with wonderful credit (assuming other funds are as much as snuff), you would get an APR within the single digits. Disclosures are very straightforward to find, but there have been few FAQs specific to home fairness loans.
These loans permit householders to borrow a lump sum of cash against their home's fairness. If you have loads of fairness to borrow towards, you may obtain a lump sum massive enough to complete your remodeling challenge and then some — in actual fact, some lenders will not make home-fairness loans smaller than around $20,000.
There are a couple of ways to get the cash you want without … Read more

Marine biotechnology has the potential to provide a major contribution towards addressing some of the most pressing societal challenges, including environmental degradation, human health and delivering sustainable supplies of food and energy. A sound strategy and a concerted coordination of relevant national and regional RTDI programmes in Europe are urgently needed to allow this potential to be realized.
The main goal of the MarineBiotech project is to reduce current fragmentation and duplication, and pave the way for common programmes and cooperation through a future ERA-NET in marine biotechnology.
The project aims to achieve this, through:

Biraj is one of the most active (read mischievous!) among the younger kids. He has a
very good imagination and loves to tell tales and stories to all of us. He loves to play
hide and seek with his eco-farm friends and is a fantastic entertainer. When asked what
he wants to be when he grows up, he says "Army!" with a twinkle in his eyes. Biraj lost
his father a couple of years back, after which his mother left him in the care of his
maternal uncle, to work in the city as a labor worker. She barely makes enough money
to feed her own self. Biraj's maternal uncle himself comes from a very poor economic
background possessing no assets, hence, leaving Biraj with very little to look forward to
in the future. At our Eco-home, he has been able to outshine the rest of his classmates
in his school making him one of the top students. Very creative, yet very mischievous,
that's our Biraj!

Government consults on the regulation of healthcare providers
Department of Health consultation paper (34 pages, PDF) on proposals concerning the role and powers of foundation trusts and of Monitor as an economic regulator. The consultation closes on 11 October 2010.
On foundation trusts
The paper puts forward a number of proposals concerning the role and powers of foundation trusts. These include proposals to:
- repeal the cap currently on how much private income foundation trusts can generate;
- remove Monitor's power to limit how much foundation trusts can borrow;
- allow foundation trusts to change their constitution without Monitor's approval;
- make it easier for foundation trusts to merge with or buy another trust; and the proposal to
- allow Monitor to trigger special administration arrangements in case of a provider's insolvency.
The above can be seen as moving foundation trusts' powers and freedom closer to those of other, namely private, health providers.
On Monitor
With regard to regulation, the paper proposes that the Commission for Quality of Care (CQC) and Monitor "be jointly responsible for administering an integrated and streamlined registration and licensing regime". CQC is to be responsible for registering providers of health and adult social care. In addition, those providing NHS healthcare services must hold a licence from Monitor. The general licence conditions to be imposed by Monitor relate to the requirement that the organisation is a fit and proper body to provide NHS services, and that the organisation provide information to Monitor on the services it provides and data deemed by Monitor necessary for it to set national tariffs (e.g. data on costs).
The paper proposes that Monitor's regulatory activities should be funded by charging fees to the licensed providers, and receive a grant-in-aid from central government if needed to fund other activities. Monitor's expenditure in 2009/2010 was just under £16 million (2009/2010 annual report, 109 pages, PDF).
On the regulators' role in promoting competition
The paper sets out proposals regarding the role of Monitor and of the NHS Commissioning Board in promoting competition. The NHS Commissioning Board is to have a duty to promote patient choice and Monitor a "duty to promote competition, where appropriate." In particular, Monitor will have "powers to impose remedies and sanctions to address restrictions on competition, through its licensing regime, and through concurrent powers with the Office of Fair Trading to enforce aspects of competition law." The paper clarifies that Monitor's power to enforce competition law within the health and adult social care sector will extend to all health and social care providers, and not be limited to providers required to hold a licence.
With regards to mergers in the sector, the responsibilities for investigation will remain with the OFT and the Competition Commission.
The wider context
This consultation paper is part of a wider consultation exercise on the implementation of the proposals set out in the July 2010 White Paper "Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS" setting out the Government's proposed reforms to the NHS.

YOUTUBE has a big problem on its hands.
The Google-owned video sharing platform has become littered with depraved and sinister videos designed to target kids that often masquerade as harmless children's content, allowing them to amass a huge number of views without being detected.
In one such video, popular children's cartoon character Peppa Pig is seen hanging by a noose, the apparent victim of a lynch mob. As the video continues Peppa begins swearing profusely, violently stabs her brother before her family acts out a sex scene.
There are thousands of videos like this on YouTube that have become known as "Elsagate". The name refers to the princess character from popular children's movie Frozen who often appears in the bizarre content, along with other popular characters like Spiderman. They involve things like the simulation of sordid sex acts and fetishes, dismemberment, cannibalism and abuse.
Aside from Elsagate content, there is another sinister subgenre of child exploitation videos that populate the site which show real children in vulnerable and distressing situations like being held down and given injections or being kidnapped. They often contain subliminal messages clearly designed to disturb young kids as well as sexualise children. Particularly concerning is the fact that there has been reports of paedophiles posting explicit comments on children's videos on the site as the seedy content continues to spread.
The Elsagate phenomenon has sparked theories and discussion online about the motives behind the perverted clips, which are often quite elaborate, with some claiming they are intended to condition or groom children.
YouTube has come under pressure to address the problem and says by next year it will have an army of 10,000 workers to combat the disturbing content on its site.
"I've seen how some bad actors are exploiting our openness to mislead, manipulate, harass or even harm," YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said in a blog post this week.
As a result, the video streaming platform is set to go on a hiring spree for content police, though her blog post did not say how many the company already has. YouTube spokeswoman Michelle Slavich said Tuesday that some have already been hired, and the team will be a combination of employees and contractors.
Ms Wojcicki said the company will apply lessons learned from combating violent and extremist videos to other "problematic" videos. YouTube will expand the use of "machine-learning" technology, a new form of artificial intelligence, to flag videos or comments that show hate speech or harm to children.
"We have begun training machine-learning technology across other challenging content areas, including child safety and hate speech," she wrote.
Several advertisers have recently pulled ads from the platform in the past few weeks as a result of stories about videos showing harm to children, hate speech and other topics they don't want their ads next to.
YouTube said this week that it is also taking steps to try to reassure advertisers that their ads won't run next to gross and appalling videos.
Google isn't the only tech company that's stepping up human content reviews to help it police its platform after criticism. Facebook in May said it would hire 3000 more people to review videos and posts, and, later, another 1000 to review ads after discovering Russian ads meant to influence the US presidential election.

This article was written by David Greenberg and originally posted on Politico.
He was a slave owner, hostile to the forces of abolitionism that were rising in America. He imposed a cruel policy of Indian removal, forcing the tribes of the Southeast across a brutal march to the Oklahoma territory. He was a hot-headed general, quick to violence and known to overstep his legal bounds, as when he summarily executed two Britons for aiding the Indian enemy during the First Seminole War.
On some levels, it's easy to understand the campaign to remove Andrew Jackson's mug from the $20 bill. Pundits are rushing to endorse the idea. The leading candidate to replace him appears to be the morally unimpeachable Harriet Tubman, who used the Underground Railroad to free herself and dozens of other slaves from bondage.
When Barack Obama first ran for president, he joked that he didn't "look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills." It is certainly time for our currency to bear the faces of African Americans and women. But this admirable effort shouldn't come at Andrew Jackson's expense. Jackson was a deeply flawed president and in many ways a detestable man. Yet he was also a towering hero, key to birthing the expansive American democracy we know today. It's entirely possible to honor his enduring contributions even as we squarely acknowledge his crimes. Grappling with those paradoxes and contradictions is what distinguishes history from moralism or sentimentality.

33 thoughts on "Writing a Novel Using Markdown: Part One"
If people are comfortable using markdown and want to skip a step or two, it is also worth checking out leanpub.com — they use markdown files to directly create PDF, MOBI and ePub files that they can host (for a small cut, of course), but that you are free to also use at Smashwords, Amazon, etc. They also have some nice website widget code to display the book on your website.
I used them to publish my new novella and found the whole process very slick.
I love the idea of using Markdown, but the thing I can't figure out is the spaces between paragraphs. Since you aren't indenting, you need to double-space between paragraphs. That works great for blog posts, but wouldn't work for prose format. When you finally compile the book, are those extra spaces taken out?
Thanks for the reply, Ian. My experience with HTML is a limited, but I think that makes sense. So if in the final book I wanted no spaces between paragraphs, is there a way to remove them and indent? Would that be a software option in something like Scrivener? I guess I'm mainly wondering if there is an automated way to change the block style, instead of manually deleting each space and indenting each first line.
And don't feel like you have to go into detail. I'm just wondering if it's possible. If it is, I can do the research to figure out how.
You might be interested in this tool: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/ it can convert markdown to a myriad of other formats. Useful if you deal with publishers that can't deal with html files.
I've had good luck using it to convert directly into epub.
I've also been using StackEdit to give me a live preview of what I am writing — it also syncs with google docs (and a bunch of other services) so that I don't need to worry about where I am writing anymore.
Hi, we need more and more experience on using lightweight markup languages as markdown in non-tecnical writing (there's btw fountain (http://fountain.io/), a "markdown for screenwriting", but totally incompatible and not really popular).
I have just a question: how do you threat dialogues format?
"- " is a bulleted list element,
"" is al free html link in most dialects (github)
">" is for quotes
and there's no "<>".
Why using a bunch of files when there are Markdown services for structured writing (like Dbook http://www.dbook.biz) 😉
May they are not perfect yet but still under heavy development: https://www.facebook.com/dbook.org
Best of all after writing just invite somebody and assign him the review job 🙂
Hi! I've used Pandoc but I've never been able to get the internal links to work, though external ones do fine. Do you have any experience with that?
Hi Ian,
Great article. I'm currently trying to get a workflow together for using md for my essay and report writing.
Another fantastic advantage of using plain text md files is that you can incorporate a version control system (such as 'git') with it.
There is a bit of a learning curve with implementing a VCS, but it means you'll never lose any of your work. It also can help a lot with your revisions and edits.
Cheers, Ian
When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each
time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from
that service? Thank you!
Hi Ian,
Thanks for posting. What process do you use when converting from .md to .docx? I love writing in markdown, but converting to Word and then formatting into manuscript format is a bit of a pain.
My process today is a rather convoluted .md -> .rtf using Pandoc, followed by Save As to .docx in Word.
Hey do you know if there is a backend to convert from markdown to standard manuscript format (http://www.writersdigest.com/online-editor/what-are-the-guidelines-for-formating-a-manuscript) required by most publishers. It seems like a waste of time to write a novel in markdown and then get shot down by a publisher because you can't deliver a manuscript in the standard manuscript format.
You should check out leanpub.com
Hi, I'm using markdown with leanpub to publish a 100,000 word thriller and the split screen (how the book should look) has crashed and will not restore. Can you suggest anything?
Many thanks.
Not a cry for help — just a belated (I realize this comment is for a post that is two+ years old now) thanks for writing both these posts. I found them handy references while setting up my own workflow (though I still haven't quite figured out the magic of getting my css file to be read for formatting, but I'll get there). Anywho, thanks for taking the time to write these up!
Hi Ian,
I realize I'm late to this party, but if you are still checking comments on this, I have a question for you.
I'm a big fan of using markdown for everything. I hate writing in Scrivener; much prefer various text editors on both tablet and PC. But here's the issue I run into:
I write, as you seem to, each chapter in separate text files. How do you keep them in order? For example, if I write "Chapter1.txt" and "Chapter2.txt", and then I decide to add another chapter in between, how do I add it without having to manually re-number everything that comes after? In Scrivener it's as easy as moving index cards around. With text files… I just don't know how to manage it. It gets messy very quickly.
Any suggestions?
After I originally left a commesnt I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me
when new comments are added- chefkbox and now each time a comment is added I recieve four emails with the same comment.
Is there a means you cann remove mme from that service?

Access Control Lists (ACLs) for Cisco CCNA 200-125/100-105
Course info
Course info
Access Control Lists (ACLs) are an important and useful tool on a data network. ACLs allow an administrator to select traffic and filter traffic as it flows through a network. In this course, Access Control Lists (ACLs) for Cisco CCNA 200-125/100-105, you will first examine how standard and extended IPv4 access lists operate. Next, you'll learn how to implement each type of list on a router. Finally you'll explore common errors and how to troubleshoot ACLs using Wireshark. By the end of this course, you will be able to write your own access control lists to filter whatever traffic you want to either permit or deny on your networks.
Hi everyone, my name is Ross Bagurdes and welcome to my course Access Control Lists.
I am a network engineer with 20 years of experience in building and managing enterprise networks, and teaching people about them.
Access Control Lists are one of a network engineers greatest tools to manipulate traffic flow on a network. Understanding ACLs will allow you to manage a network, contain malicious traffic, and restrict access to devices and services.
In this course, we will learn about Standard and Extended Access Control Lists and how they can be applied to interfaces and other functions on a router.
By the end of this course you will be able to use wireshark to build and implement an Access Control list, as well as have a method to troubleshoot access control lists that are not functioning as desired.
Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with IP addressing, packet headers, TCP and UDP segments and headers, as well as how packets are routed through a network, which can be learned in the previous videos in the CCNA series.
(Optional) From here, you should feel comfortable diving into Network Address Translation course.
I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn the Standard and extended Access Control lists with the Access Control List course, at Pluralsight.
