  1. Elizabeth Emken: Running against Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and the odds

    Like many parents of autistic children, Elizabeth Emken's priorities changed when she heard her son's diagnosis. But most parents do not wind up running for U.S. Senate. Emken's 12.5% of the vote in the June primary makes her the GOP challenger to Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. She's a UCLA graduate in economics and political science who worked at IBM before launching into more than a decade of lobbying for autism legislation. She'll be in Tampa — home of the Buccaneers football team — for next week's GOP convention. And while a football coach, as her father once was, might assess her chances against Feinstein as "fourth and very long," like so many other parents of autistic kids, Emken is used to those odds.

  10. Change we can believe in: Scrap the dollar bill

    Americans embrace innovation. It is in our DNA. We are always on the lookout for new ways to do something faster, cheaper, better. From the horse and buggy to the automobile; from the rotary telephone to the iPhone, we're always willing to embrace innovation if it will make our lives more efficient and productive. Unfortunately, the federal government's bureaucratic inertia has stood in the way of one such innovation that would save the country billions of dollars while making things easier for millions of small business owners like myself.
