The head of a large technology company felt nervous and stressed, but afraid to talk about it. If customers knew, he'd lose face. Employees must see his confidence, he thought. His peers couldn't know—they were the competition. So behind a calm face, he lived in doubt. Drowning in fear, he rejected his lifeboats.
Long ago I learned to let close friends know me for who I really am. Besides my wife, I have several key people who keep me accountable. Vulnerability can feel risky—but it's the reality check no one can live without.
I'm Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge urging you to form relationships that combine love with truth. Unlike the technology chief, when you give and receive candor, you'll gain relief, energy, and wisdom—the fuel you need for the high calling of our daily work.
It is an honor to receive an honest reply.

Episode Information
American Experience
We Shall Remain: Tecumseh's Vision
Aired Monday, April 20, at 9:00 p.m. on CPTV
In the spring of 1805, Tenskwatawa, a Shawnee, fell into a trance so deep that those around him believed he had died. When he finally stirred, the young prophet claimed to have met the Master of Life. He told those who crowded around to listen that the Indians were in dire straits because they had adopted white culture and rejected traditional spiritual ways.
For several years Tenskwatawa's spiritual revival movement drew thousands of adherents from tribes across the Midwest. His elder brother, Tecumseh, would harness the energies of that renewal to create an unprecedented military and political confederacy of often antagonistic tribes, all committed to stopping white westward expansion.
The brothers came closer than anyone since to creating an Indian nation that would exist alongside and separate from the United States. The dream of an independent Indian state may have died at the Battle of the Thames, when Tecumseh was killed fighting alongside his British allies, but the great Shawnee warrior would live on as a potent symbol of Native pride and pan-Indian identity. Learn more...
Stay tuned following the America Experience at 10:30 p.m.for Schemitzun!, the Mashantucket Pequot's World Championship of Indian Song and Dance. This Emmy nominated program was originally broadcast in 1999 on CPTV. Schmitzun! was Produced, Written & Directed by Kenneth A. Simon.

Translation apps have been in the App Store since day one, but the vast majority completely miss the boat. Picture this: you are traveling to a place that doesn't count English as its official language (the United States?) and you need an app to help you get around. The majority of the travel apps out there are one of two things – they either translate long phrases from English to another language, often resulting in translated gibberish, or have endless lists of phrases that you can use (if you can find the right one).
Brad O'Hearne of Big Hill Software (Big World) figured that the average traveller just needs to know where, when, and how much, and that handing your iPhone to someone, especially in a foreign country, probably isn't a good idea. His newest app, Dialects, translates any of the included languages to another using simple screens instead of complex menus and shoddy translation boxes.
Here's how it works: let's say you wanted to ask someone in Moscow where the mall was. All you have to do in Dialects is go to the "Where" tab and type "mall" into the text box. The screen then rotates to orient to the other person (and lets you hold onto your phone the entire time), shows "Where is the mall?" and lets the person double tap the screen to drop a pin on a map. No more, "right turn here, left at my grandmothers house," just a semi-exact location of where the mall is. Like "Where," the "When" and the "How Much" let you input a simple word and then lets the other person give you the answer via sliders (the "How Much" has a currency slider as well) – no translation required.
So next time you find yourself overseas, or at the local supermarket in some cities, be sure to take Dialects along with you. It costs absolutely nothing and could save you from the embarrassment of tossing out translated gibberish. People in foreign lands will thank you.

Chief Meteorologist Justin Stapleton's Wednesday Night Forecast Discussion:
**Wildfire information including evacuation info for Douglas Complex: Oregon Wildfires
More thunderstorms today, this time though, mainly east of the Cascades, while the western end of the state was socked with overcast skies most of the day. We dropped ten degrees from yesterday into the 60s for highs Thursday, but finished the month of July on a bone-dry note. In fact, we didn't see any rain for the entire month, the first time that has happened since 2003, and 1967 before then!
Friday we'll see some additional afternoon sunshine but with the low still moving east, highs again will be cool, in the low 70s. We should be able to get some more sun breaks by the afternoon and there may be a stray thunderstorm in the mountains, but that's it.
By the weekend, high pressure starts to take hold once again, and it's back to sunny and dry with highs back up in the mid to upper 80s. Next week also looks to stay on the dry and warm stretch of summer weather we've seen this season so far.
Have a great Friday!

Avvo Legal Advisory: Lawyer Reviews
By Kari Day on May 16, 2012 in Avvo News
This week Avvo released its first Avvo Legal Advisory (ALA) which highlights the correlation between lawyer reviews and prospective client inquiries on the site.
Avvo data shows that bankruptcy, DUI and immigration clients are generally the happiest with their lawyers, and that among Avvo users, more than 87 percent of lawyer reviews are positive and over 89 percent say they would recommend their attorney to others. Take a look at the press release for the full report.


text: Analyzing the Election ResultsWhile it was a good night nationally, it sure was a disappointing night in Massachusetts. Nationally, the Republicans took back the house, winning over 60 seats from the Democrats. They came up short in the senate, mostly because the Democrats only ever had 17 seats in play, though the Republicans appear to have won 7 or 8 of those (Colorado and Washington are still too close to call, so it's only +6 as of this writing). I'm disappointed by the Nevada and Connecticut results. Connecticut in particular seemed like such a clear cut choice to me, but nothing compares to what happened in Massachusetts. In Massachusetts, liberal voters felt under siege and turned out in high numbers. Charlie Baker was a terrible candidate, and Tim Cahill made the mistake of not running for the Republican primary. Regardless, the ballot questions were surprising to me as well. Question 1, to repeal the double tax on liquor in the state, barely passed. I'm convinced that there's a certain population in this state that is basically neo-prohibitionist, and will vote for anything to restrict the sale of alcohol. Question 2 to repeal the low-income housing requirements failed. And Question 3 to reduce the state sales tax failed. A few lessons from the question 3 initiative: The measure polled well before TV ads were run, and polled poorly and lost after TV ads were run. This says two things: TV ads are still effective, and the Libertarian apparatus in the state is incapable of raising money for TV ads. Question 3 had a natural constituency in retailers who must be feeling the heat from the increased sales tax. The fact that they evidently couldn't raise money from those retailers to run ads indicates a certain degree of haplessness. I have to say I was absolutely right on Sean Bielet, though even I got sucked in to some of his excitement thinking he might pull close. Here's what I wrote in a comment on a Pajamas Media article predicting Barney Frank's defeat: At this point, part of me wonders if Bielat didn't energize the opposition with his spirited campaign. At any rate, for all the money he spent and sucked out of other potential races, he only did as well as Gerry Dembrowski, who lost to Ed Markey and nobody thought had a real chance to win. Maybe Bielat will run for something else in the future. Or maybe we'll never hear from him again. I do have to say that the most disappointing race of the night for me was to see Mary Z Connaughton lose to Suzanne Bump. Suzanne Bump cheated on her taxes, accepted gifts inappropriately while in the legislature, and has never been a financial professional to my knowledge. Connaughton, OTOH, is a CPA who never cheated on her taxes. The auditor's job is a technical one that requires real financial knowledge, and one that is the watchdog over the state. To be a CPA one must, among other things, apprentice for a number of years as an auditor, learning how audits work. It was appalling to me to hear Bump run ads implying that Connaughton's claim to be an auditor was bogus. And it is deeply confusing to me how people could vote for an unqualified tax cheat over a qualified professional. When you add these three things together, Patrick's re-election, the loss on Question 3, and the election of Suzanne Bump, you have the makings of a fiscal catastrophe. The establishment on Beacon Hill will interpret this as a mandate to raise taxes, to spend without oversight, to really gorge themselves at the trough. So hold on to your wallets, kids, because it's gonna be a rough couple of years here in Massachusetts. 2012 prediction: Stephen Lynch runs against Scott Brown and beats him by 5 points.

Justin seems to be doing everything in his power to get Selena's attention! First he took a mystery brunette on a hot date to Disneyland — formerly one of his favorite places to go with Sel — and now he's showing off his abs and crotch in a racy new selfie. Is he trying to tempt his ex?
Justin Bieber, 20, must have a sixth sense when it comes to Selena Gomez, 22. The minute she decided she was ready to move on and jump back into the dating pool, Justin started romancing gorgeous young women and posting sexy selfies like the one above! It certainly looks like he's trying to give Selena a taste of what she's missing!
Justin Bieber Shirtless To Tempt Selena Gomez? — Biebs Posts Ab & Crotch Selfie
Justin sure does love his Calvins — and his body in general! And it looks like he's hoping Selena feels the same way because he took to his Instagram on Aug. 7 to post this super revealing shirtless pic of himself!
We must admit that Justin's abs look pretty perfect in this pic, and the fact that his left hand is placed suggestively by his crotch is not lost on us.
But we think the Biebs is kidding himself if he truly believes that a half-naked selfie will send Selena running back into his arms — especially since she's more determined than ever to put him in her past once and for all!
Selena Gomez Ready To 'Move On' & 'Start Dating' After Justin Bieber
Yes, it seems like Selena is finally realizing what we've all known for quite a while now — that being with Justin is just not healthy for her, mentally or emotionally.
"Selena is not dating anyone right now but she really wants to start dating someone and move on from Justin,"a source close to Selena told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. "Everything lately she gets into is just to get Justin jealous, but she actually wants to have a relationship that is much healthier than what she ever had with Justin. She is single and ready to mingle as they say!"
And this time, there's nothing Justin can do to win her back!
"She is basically desensitized to what Justin does when it comes to girls," the source added. "Honestly, she doesn't care because it's going to be with someone else and somewhere else today, this weekend, next week."
So what do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should Selena date someone new or get back together with Justin? Let us know!

Gross…seriously he's mentally unstable. So inappropriate for the age group of his little fans. He's really losing his sense of reality. The drugs are messing with his brain. I can't imagine what his mom thinks. Everything is about his body and no longer about art. This is just becoming more deviant, perverted and verging on pornographic. He's completely nuts and without personal boundaries. Talk about blurred lines. Someone needs to get him into a psych ward.

Just wait until the Calvin Klein ad campaign starts then his haters will be literally foaming at the mouth with rabies like symptoms!!! Immoral, Scandalous, Terrible Role Model, Indecent!!! Those are just a few things Justin's haters will be screaming once his Calvin Klein ads start.. Ha ha ha!! Justin is not doing anything different that a lot of young guys do sending selfies out to show off.
Looking like one of selena friend just back stabbed her.

Like I said Justin's hates will be out in droves, seething with hatred and jealousy.. That's funny I never heard of a single nude picture of Justin Bieber released, not unless you are referring to the fake pictures that were around when "Beauty and the Beat" was released.. Sounds like someone is resentful and jealous.. I take it the name you chose refers to yourself??

I seriously doubt Calvin Klein wanted him to go the pervert route. This is more pedophile since his fans are in grade school. Teenage boys and men aren't big Justin fans. It's not sexy, it's disturbing. They'll need to pad the undies, maybe that's what they're selling? Justin Bieber padded undies for the guys with small gerkins. That must be it.

Cinema de Lux Springdale 18
12064 Springfield Pike,
1 person favorited this theater
Opened and operated by National Amusements.
Recent comments (view all 6 comments)
While the original plans called for 20 screens, the theatre opened officially on 12/11/1998 with 18 screens.
The theatre was built in 2 stages. Construction of 10 screens was begun in 1997, and completed in late spring 1998. At that point, the original Showcase Springdale site was torn down, and the 10 screen theatre opened. They then constructed the additional 8 theatres, opening 18 screens as noted above.
The theatre opened as the Showcase Springdale 18, becoming a Cinema de Lux in 2004. This included an Imax MPX installation in one theatre, and the designation of some other rooms as "Director's Halls".
Sources: Springdale Ohio Zoning Board minutes and National Amusements Press Release (12/11/1998)
This theatre was NOT part of the Rave purchase, and does not appear with other Ohio locations on the Rave website. It is still (as of March, 2010) owned by National Amusements. Rave already owns a theatre in West Chester about 6 miles away.
(Source: Cincinnati Business Courier, 10/22/09)
That's interesting, I'm guessing Rave didn't want a potential DOJ conflict that the site might have caused, it should be interesting to see if Regal or AMC picks it up (according to Google movies, Kerasotes owns theaters in the vicinity). But if its still doing well, than Sheri Redstone might not be so eager to sell it off. Rave didn't pick up Cincinnati Mills which National just closed, is this theater with an IMAX screen holding its own against the newer Rave plex?
I suppose we can't discount the new, smaller, re-energized brothers Kerasotes, a high end stadium seating theatre might make an easy conversion to a Showplace Icon site.
The original Showcase Cinemas Springdale now has a page here on Cinema Treasures.
It's a very nice theater. My wife & i got committed to rave in 03' i guess we liked a more traditional movie theaters but there both State of the art in quality . I'm not a too much of a IMAX fan. I saw Sucker Punch in IMAX there which was a excellent presentation though. I still go there from time to time because of memories of the old showcase cinema in my childhood in the 80's .

Apparently, in a bid to get tourists back in the country, Japan will offer 10,000 free round trip airline tickets to tourists. The catch? As usual with these tourist board promotions, you have to blog about your trip. But unlike many others of these I've seen, they're giving away a ridiculous number of tickets.
I'd like to go back and visit my college and take the vacation with my family that got interrupted by the quake. Anyone else interested in going?

First day? Welcome!
True or False: You're ready to achieve your higher education and career goals? That's what we thought. And that's what we're here for. From college to career-we've got you covered. So get going! Your future's waiting.
This may sound like something you would only do as an English major, but that isn't necessarily the case. Many schools treat Technical Writing as a unique discipline, often more closely linked to a communications or business major rather than English.
Technical Writing students master the craft of writing for specific markets and industries. The business and scientific worlds, in addition to needing scientists and businessmen, also need people who can effectively translate their jargon into layman's terms. How does aggregate demand shape a market based on a Keynesian economic theory? And how can CO2 chemical emissions deplete the ozone layer? Technical Writers are invaluable because they make the news of the business and scientific communities accessible to the rest of us.
Drawing on some of the classic tenets of English, such as sentence structure and organization, technical writing goes one step further. With many universities offering Technical Writing laboratories complete with state of the art hardware, Technical Writing bridges the gap between literature and business.

Senate Confirms Five NLRB Appointments
The Senate has confirmed five members to the National Labor Relations Board. The new Board includes:
- Democrat Mark Pearce (the chair the NLRB since 2011 and former lawyer representing unions in private practice)
- Democrat Kent Hirozawa (Pearce's chief counsel)
- Democrat Nancy Schiffer (a long time union attorney, who has worked for AFL-CIO and UAW)
- Republican Phil Miscimarra (labor attorney representing management and partner with Morgan Lewis)
- Republican Harry Johnson (labor attorney representing management and partner with Arent Fox)
Sharon Block and Richard Griffin, the unlawful recess appointments, will step down. The Supreme Court has agreed to review Noel Canning v. NLRB, the CDW-supported challenge to the Block and Griffin appointments, and the Court is expected to issue a decision sometime in the first half of 2014. In the meantime, it remains uncertain as to whether any of Board's decisions or rules in which Block, Griffin or Becker participated are valid.
The White House reportedly will nominate Griffin to the General Counsel position, though that has not happened yet.
Pearce will continue as chair and the new Board will likely begin issuing cases in the next few months and rules within the year.

Answered by
Sheikh Salman al-Oadah
Scholars disagree regarding insurance. The majority of them forbid it in its commercial form. The Islamic Law Council in Saudi Arabia has issued an official ruling forbidding insurance in consideration of its reliance on uncertainty and risk. They argue that Islamic Law prohibits business transactions that include a great deal of uncertainty. There are many authentic hadîth in this regard. For instance, Abû Hurayrah relates that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) forbade business transactions determined by the throw of a stone and business transactions involving uncertainty. [Sahîh Muslim] Please note, however, that some prominent and distinguished scholars accept insurance as lawful, such as Mustafâ al-Zarqâ' and Yûsuf al-Qardâwî. Sheikh `Abd Allah b. Mâni` holds a similar opinion to theirs in some aspects of health insurance. There are several books about insurance. One of the books that considers it lawful is Insurance Systems and the Legal Opinion Thereupon by Sheikh Mustafâ al-Zarqâ' . On the other hand, there are many articles issued by the scholars who participated in the Islamic Law Week in Damascus, forbidding insurance.

I reached out to Breville in celebration of the free Food Babe Juice Cleanse Eating Guide I'm offering this week and they have generously sponsored to give away a Breville Juice Fountain Crush Juicer for 10 Food Babe readers!
Before I get to the giveaway, I have to tell you about this (for a limited time) guide.
Most people are used to eating at least 3 times a day – sometimes more – your digestive organs are constantly working all day long! Imagine giving your digestive system a break. What would your body do then? Well… it does amazing things!
After taking up juicing and completing juice cleanses a few times a year, my body weight has amazingly stabilized for the longest period in history, I easily fit into everything in my closet and my cravings for bad food have literally stopped – not to mention my eyelashes have gotten longer and I have way more energy than I did 10 years ago, 10 years younger!
But when I did my first juice cleanse, I was scared. I didn't know what to expect, but I heard great things and wanted to know what everyone was talking about – I had a LOT of questions.
If only I would have had this guide then! My team and I created a Juice Cleanse Guide to walk you through everything you need to know about juicing and juice cleansing.
The Juice Cleanse Guide includes:
- The incredible benefits of juicing and what you can expect
- Juicing how-to's and how to choose the best juicer for you
- Help navigating store-bought juices and what to do look for and avoid
- Do's and Don'ts of a juice cleanse (This one is so important!)
- A full 8 day juice cleanse calendar and tips (including what to eat before & after with full recipe choices)
- All the juice and meal recipes for a successful cleanse
- Answers to all your questions and customer support
You can use this bonus guide 4 times a year (like I plan on doing) to successfully reset every season – not to mention before swimsuit season or after a long vacation!

When you sign up for the Eating Guide subscription, get 90+ pages of my first hand advice to navigate in this over processed food world and to keep you on track long after the cleanse:

Giving Away 10 Breville Juice Fountain Crush Juicers!
The Juice Fountain Crush is a slow masticating juicer which is a step above centrifuge juicers – and actually about the same price or less than some of them too. Slow juicers preserve the nutrients and live enzymes longer, which gives you the ability to store them for an extra day or so – which is awesome for everyone who likes to make a big batch of juice to enjoy over 2 days.
I became very interested in this juicer because it looks and acts like one of my other favorite juicers, the Hurom, and I wanted to know if there were any differences so I can recommend the best slow juicer to y'all. To give my honest opinion (that is not biased because of this giveaway) – the Breville fountain crush is a little easier to clean, and juices celery without leaving a lot of pulp in the juice – which I like.
It takes me 10 mins from start to finish to make a juice using the fountain crush, including clean up. Breville gives you a cleaning brush that cleans the filter very easily, but you can also soak the filter in water diluted with lemon juice or a little bit of soap for harder to remove vegetable fibers.
Speaking of vegetable fibers – the best thing about this juicer is that it extracts a lot of juice from dark leafy greens – including wheatgrass. If there is one complaint about juicers it is that they don't extract enough liquid from vegetables like kale. Also, the parts of the Breville Juice Fountain Crush are all BPA free, the machine is super quiet and light enough for extended travel. Over all this juicer rocks and definitely makes my top picks. If you are in the market for one (or don't win it here today!) and looking to buy one, it's available on Amazon for $299.

I am constantly looking for healthier ways and I enjoy reading all of your posts. I've added lemon water / cayenne pepper to my daily routine and look forward to making more routine changes for a healthier life. I was pretty excited to see you live in NC as I am a NC girl myself Thanks so much! -Meg

Both pescetarians and reasonably active individuals, we needed something to kickstart a healthy routine once again. We've both been wanting to learn more about juicing and your incentive came just in time since our Vitamix (RIP) isn't an option anymore.
- Lindsey Martin April 9, 2014 Vani, you are my ultimate food hero and girl crush!!! I have spent many late nights googling "food babe" and "vani" (not in a creepy way, haha) searching for hidden interviews and investigations. Thank you for all that you do–our community needed a voice and we are lucky to have you Sending much love from Austin, Texas xoxoxoxo
- William Taylor April 10, 2014 A juicer would save my life!

The family of a passenger of the Malaysian Airlines aircraft that disappeared in March this year is still seeking answers.
Malaysia, a majority Muslim country, had initially sought to have the remains returned by July 28 for Hari Raya.
Malaysia also called for a comprehensive investigation by international independent bodies into the crash.
Russian President Vladimir Putin urged the two warring sides to hold peace talks as soon as possible.
An Australian family mourning their son and his wife learnt that their step-granddaughter and her husband were on MH17.
'The Buk is a sophisticated, difficult to operate system used by both the Russian and Ukrainian government military.'
Ukraine PM orders investigation into Malaysian 'airplane catastrophe', says plane was en route from Amsterdam.
Relatives of the missing people cannot move on from the mysterious March 8 disappearance of MH 370.
Many of the families believe there has been a cover up by Malaysian authorities.
Najib asserted that none of this could have altered the fate of Malaysia Airlines plane.
Any aircraft can be located by the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) or Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B).
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 carrying 239 people had mysteriously vanished on March 8 after taking off from Kuala Lumpur.
Up to 8 military aircraft and 11 ships were assisting in Saturday's search for missing airliner.

text: Hair Beauty Tip Tame that tail submitted: December 5, 2007 Our favorite hair standby is the tried and true ponytail. Wear it high up for a playful look, or down low for a more sleek, sophisticated look. Whatever way you wear it, the ponytail can cure all bad hair days in a flash, but those little hairline flyaways can detract from your polished tail, so try this trick of the trade: spritz a bit of hairspray on a clean toothbrush and smooth down the offending hairs. share on pinterestshare on facebook « Easy updo with celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend How to create a messy knot hairdo »

"Galaxy Marketing Solutions has really gone beyond what other marketing companies would do.
"A lot of marketing companies, just rely on making you a "nice" postcard or what you think will work. What is really different about Galaxy is that they are a research based company. They look at your particular situation, your particular desires, what you are looking for, and they research it, and they create a personalized marketing campaign for you. I think that's what really works.
"The new patient experience has been amazing. I was going from 1-2 patients a month to almost THIRTY a month. This has been only in the 2nd month of campaigning. We used to have the problem of "Where are we going to get enough patients? We don't have enough!" Now I have "WHERE are we going to put them?" It's a great problem to have!"

Wow. Nominated for an award for producing an extremely low-quality, juvenile, painfully unfunny comic that makes the point, for only the six-billionth time, that GW Bush is a war-wongering idiot. Congrats.

My buddy just got a timer a couple days ago, and besides timing odd and ridiculous things for 4 hours, we took it to the range. The main thing we focused on was double feed clears and the fast drill. (10 yard distance, index card represents the head and 8" plate for the torso. two shots fired at the head, reload, 4 shots to the body....most of you already know this but some might not)
I wanted to record them on here so I could keep track of my improvements, and see what I need to work on. As well as see how everyone else is doing.
After about 10 runs with the fast drill, my best time was 6.15. The double feed clear goes as follows...identify malfunction, fix malfuntion, and fire 1 shot at target (also 10yards...shot has to make contact with the target)
That time was 7.39...so I realize im no Dave Sevigny, and I need alot of work with my double feeds as well. Any questions, comments, criticisms, or concerns are appreciated, thanks guys.

In the meantime that late summer and fall, more bail-out schemes were incubated, but none hatched. A proposal in August to move the Boca Raton Public Library into the museum went nowhere. Then, in November, the owners of the Museum of Miniatures in Los Angeles put the kibosh on speculation that it would merge with the cartoon museum. The owners, Carole and Barry Kaye of Boca Raton, chose instead to retire and sell the miniature reproductions of buildings and landmarks, valued at $25 million. Jim and Marta Batmasian, Boca real-estate investors, broached the idea of opening a human rights museum beside the cartoon display. Nothing has come of that idea.
Walker, who says he's sunk about $2 million of his own money into the museum, had long fought the notion of selling the "Plane Crazy" storyboards. But when no large donor stepped forward by this winter, the museum announced it would auction off the Mickey Mouse art in May, along with original art from the "Dick Tracy," "Beetle Bailey," and "Prince Valiant" Sunday strips.
But with a catastrophic consistency rivaling the Biblical tale of Job, the museum came up empty-handed. Simultaneous auctions were held by Manhattan-based Guernsey's and Leftbid.com on May 19, but the sale was plagued with confusion over who was bidding on what, lousy online connections, and low bids. When the e-smoke cleared, the highest authenticated bid was $700,000; the minimum bid required for sale of the "Plane Crazy" art was $800,000.
With expectations dropping, a second auction, scheduled for June 8, set a minimum bid of $650,000. The highest bid received was $525,000.
"What has happened at these auctions is a travesty," Hamilton says. "It's been a joke from beginning to end. Right now this stuff has got a terrible reputation; [it's] what we call "burnt goods,' because it's been mishandled from one end to the other." He still believes "Plane Crazy" is worth millions of dollars but that the museum failed to undertake the lengthy publicity campaign required for a sale.
"When it comes to the value of really rare items, you can't just suddenly pop out something and say, "This is worth a lot of money, who'll give it to me?'" Hamilton explains. "Nobody's going to buy that way. But if a collector gets hold of it, he tours it, exhibits it, gets quoted in the press." The collector lets it be known that he'd sell the piece only for millions more than what he paid. "But somewhere down the line -- four, five years -- a really wealthy person comes along and asks him, "What do you really want for it?' Unavailability is desirability."
Critics may debate the wisdom of key decisions made by the museum during the past decade -- moving to Boca, building big, trying to dump Mickey at a fire sale -- but most everyone will agree the museum hasn't received the hefty local contributions it needs to thrive.
Why not? Eisner pulls no punches in his assessment: "You're dealing with a situation here where a very wealthy person in Boca Raton who wants to give something to the culture of a community can't go to the country club on Saturday and boast about the fact they just gave $100,000 to the cartoon museum. They'd much rather say they gave it to the ballet or the fine arts museum. What I've just articulated is the blunt reality of the situation. My attitude is: Shame on them because this art form is a very important cultural medium in our society."
Christopher Larmoyeux, the new chairman of the Palm Beach County Cultural Council, disagrees. "I don't think you can sit here and blame the public because they didn't view [the museum] as an upscale organization," he says. Comparing the local support the Boca art museum has gotten with the cartoon collection, Larmoyeux continues: "We're blessed in Palm Beach County with a great number of philanthropic individuals, but each person who gives money gives it for his or her own particular purpose -- [potential donors might not give if] they didn't like the concept or weren't drawn to it or the marketing was insufficient.
"Will the cartoon museum survive? It's pretty doubtful. The survivability of cultural organizations in South Florida, the entire state, is entirely dependent on private givers."
Henry Deppe, an executive vice president at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, headed that museum's fundraising drive, which garnered $13.3 million in three years -- the lion's share from local sources. He says the effort was meticulously orchestrated using a 65-page outline of philosophy, goals, plans, and budget. "Our number one modus operandi was having dinner parties at which we invited people and told them the story of the museum, what it means to the community, and why a 50-year-old institution like ours needs a larger home to display our 3000 pieces of art," Deppe explains.
But Deppe says the art museum was looking for dollars in a different "marketplace" than was the cartoon museum. "A cartoon museum is certainly a wonderful institution to have available to the community, but it appeals to a specific group of people -- not necessarily the same group [that prefers] the so-called classic or fine art," Deppe says. "We have a broader audience, we believe, than the cartoon museum. Everybody has fine art in their homes, particularly more affluent people. But how many people have cartoons in their home?"

Chicago judge rules against Main Street Fairness Act
April 27, 2012
Illinois: Judge Robert Lopez Cepero, a Cook County Subcircuit judge, ruled against the Main Street Fairness Act on April 25.
The Act, enacted in March of 2011, said that online retailers who had affiliates in Illinois were required to pay an online sales tax to the state. It was nicknamed the Amazon tax. Retailers like Amazon.com maintain affiliations with other web sites who post Amazon's product links in exchange for a cut of the profits. The law would require Amazon to pay taxes on such sales.
Judge Cepero ruled that the law was invalid because e-retailers, such as Amazon's affiliates, do not have an established physical presence in the state of Illinois. He also said that the law was in opposition to the 1998 Internet Tax Freedom Act and the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution. The Tax Freedom Act prohibits certain taxes on web transactions until 2014. The commerce clause grants the federal government jurisdiction over interstate commerce.
The Illinois Department of Revenue was unhappy with the ruling and issued a statement saying, "We need to protect brick-and-mortar stores from an unlevel playing field."[1]

This question has been posed in may forms and ways, on this platform and the other platforms elsewhere. I need to pose it once more: Are We (the community of Free-thinkers and Atheists or in our indivual non-group associations) such a bad example of human freedom? People have been saying many things about the charecters of leading atheist, dead and alive. We have been labelled drunkards, sexual immoral, illicit language users, drug users. Is that the picture of this community/ these individuals?
I am in this dilemma beacause I have an understanding ( ofcourse from personal experience) that in the first two years of my consciously and publicly declaring my free thinking stance I wanted to boycott god and religion. So my mission was to oppose, by lifestyle, everything that is promoted by religion. As now I am maturing in my understanding and by associating with experienced Free-thinkers, in this platform and other platforms, I am begining to realise that all this moral things or behaviours that were hijacked by religion were actually part of human evolution, when humans civilized themselves and set laws to gorven behaviours. Thus by upholding most of the behaviours that were promagated by religion will make me an eveloved species, not a god fearing human being. In the words of one atheist, I can be good without god.
For sure , I am not in the mission of converting people to be free thinkers, however I would not want them to dread associating with atheism/free thinking because of my lifestyle. Would I now?
What is your take , Free-thinkers? are we that immoral? Are we the sum total of everything that the civilized commnuities if human species dread?
" I have noticed (please tell me if you have as well) that people tend to need to feel superior in some way to others, as a part of self-worth."
I am not sure I can agree with that statement. What is the value in having a sense of superiority over another individual intellectually? Should we feel better about ourselves simply because we think we have a superior mental prowess? The luck of genetic lineage should probably take the credit more so than our own developed ability to think on our own two feet. I do believe many theists get the impression that atheists consider themselves mentally superior to the everyday religious follower. That is unfortunate and it only makes our acceptance as a legitimate segment of society more difficult.
A positive religious institution is necessary to build and maintain a civilization.
Humans have been naturally selected for religiosity*. Religious institutions will always exist because religiosity is not cultural, it is biological. The biological religiosity module in our brain offers significant advantages in increasing courage, empathy and the initiation of the search for objective morality. There are also downsides to this module, as it can also activate a desire to build an utopian "Chosen Ones" society that might war with other societies.
From a game theory perspective, objective morality is a detriment to individual selection but aids group selection. Positive religious institutions that activate religiosity modules and channel them towards objectively moral virtuous behavior benefit a society. Similarly, negative religious institutions can also start holy wars.
If existing positive religion institutions are destroyed, there is an enormous risk that in the absence of religious institutions, dictators could channel religiosity activations of their subjects towards themselves, to the overall detriment of society. Marxist dictators often use this tactic to maximize power and control.

More About:
U.S. all-hay production totaled 136 million tons last year, up 13% compared to the 2012 total, according to a recent USDA report.
Look for hay prices in most of the country to stay locked in a relatively narrow trading range through the rest of the current marketing year.
"There's not much room for (hay prices) to go too much higher or too much lower," says Matt Diersen, ag economist at South Dakota State University. There could be exceptions, particularly in the far West where producers are struggling with drought.
USDA's January report on hay stocks, as of last Dec. 1, plays a major part in Diersen's forecast. It shows total stocks on U.S. farms at 89.3 million tons. While that's up by 17% from 2012 levels, the numbers need to be taken in context, he says. "It's up from rock bottom, but it's still pretty low."
Given the supply situation, livestock producers should buy on any sign of a further price drop, says Diersen. "If prices fall at all from where they're at now I'd be looking to buy, especially if I was uncomfortable about having enough forage on hand to get me through the winter and into the new crop."
Diersen's logic: A price drop of just 5% from current levels in most regions would likely trigger a major increase in domestic hay use. In turn, that would tighten up ending stocks, sending prices higher before the new crop arrives.
Additional harsh winter weather like that experienced by much of the country the first part of 2014 would also lead to more hay feeding and dwindling supplies.
Among regions, the western U.S., and especially California, may be most vulnerable to supply-side pressure over the next few months. An extended drought in California already has producers there scrambling to find scarce supplies (see "Water Woes Hamper California Hay, Beef Sectors").
Continued strength in U.S. hay exports will also likely put further pressure on domestic hay stocks and prices in the region. "If I'm a hay buyer, the closer I am to California, the more nervous or skittish I'm likely to be about the supply situation," says Diersen.

USDA also estimated U.S. production for all hay last year at 136 million tons, up 13% from the 2012 total, according to its 2013 Crop Production Summary issued in January. For alfalfa, USDA estimated total production in 2013 at 57.6 million tons, up 11% from the previous year's total. Keep in mind, says Diersen, that percentage increases reported for last year are relative to the extremely low production from 2012. "There was an improvement, but not a substantial improvement."
The summary showed that, with the exception of Wisconsin, haylage production was up in many of the traditional dairy states in the Upper Midwest and Northeast. "They're sitting in pretty good shape in terms of forage supplies," says Diersen.
New seedings of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures in 2013 were up by 5% from year-earlier levels, according to the summary. That marks the second straight year of increases in seeding acreage.
Most noteworthy, says Diersen, is that new seedings were up in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin. "Some of the increase might have been due to re-seeding (due to winterkill)," he says. "But nationwide, we had 2.5 million new acres planted. That tells me we could be coming off the bottom for really low, harvested (alfalfa) acres. Any way you look at it, that's a good thing. Without additional acres, we're going to have continued swings in supplies and prices and more volatility in the market. This at least is a move in the right direction."
The next glimpse of where U.S. hay production might be headed in 2014 will come in late March when USDA issues its annual planting intentions report. That will be followed up in mid-May with its ending hay stocks report.
