Ideas Into Dollars: The Sound Business Pitch - 0 views

  •  
    No matter how amazing your venture may be, if you can't show others how great it is, you might miss your opportunity to get it started. Getting funding isn't easy and these days venture capitalists are less likely than ever to invest in startups. So it's important to have the pitch perfected--whether its the impromptu elevator pitch or a formal written business proposal.

The Young Invincibles - 0 views

  •  
    Invincible is the final studio album released by Michael Jackson in 2001. Invincible is also a feel-good underdog football movie released in 2006, starring Mark Wahlberg. But more to my point, Invincible is a young Image Comics superhero. Why is this relevant? Because there is a real life group of Young Invincibles--the 13 million young adults (ages 19 to 29) in America who do not have health insurance.

Shocker: Gallup Says Unemployed are Discouraged - 0 views

  •  
    Okay, so more than 19 percent of Americans are underemployed-which means either unemployed or looking for full-time work. For the first time, Gallup has endeavored to discern how underemployed people feel about their situation. It's not surprising there are more discouraged people without jobs than there are hopeful people. Rather, it's in the survey's details where Gallup's findings become interesting.

Do-It-Yourself America: Social Entrepreneurship - 0 views

What to Do With Sarah Palin? - 0 views

  •  
    Mall camping is hardly an alien concept to the moms and dads who stoically trudge through Toys "R" Us at this time of year, exhausting themselves just so they can avoid disappointing their kids. Well, Mall of America certainly had enough campers this past Monday, but they weren't lining up by the Lego Imagination Center.

  •  
    Late last month Marketplace Money did a story on "hauls," online video diaries about the junk people buy. Call me a Luddite, but that makes me want to cuddle up with Tolstoy's War and Peace. If you have a different reaction it might be because you--like so many savvy entrepreneurs in the information age--are seeing dollar signs where others might see cultural decline.

Bosnia: Too Big to Fail? - 0 views

  •  
    Remember the Bosnia intervention? Back in the days of easy, feel-good wars fought from above? In fact, America's involvement in Bosnia was going to be so simple that then-President Bill Clinton promised U.S. service men and women they would be "home by Christmas." (It was never clear whether President Clinton meant Christmas 1995 or 2004.)
