I guess this qualifies as a conversation between infamous MIPs. Is Billy Bush baiting Donald?http://www.nytimes.com/…/…/politics/donald-trump-women.html…

A lewd discussion taped in 2005 on a soap opera set adds to evidence that Mr. Trump has a record of sexist behavior.

Hello everyone

Elections are back! And so are cannabis initiatives, (at least for Oregon, Alaska, DC and Florida.) So what do we Americans and specifically the citizens of these places need to be thinking about to make the best decision at the ballot box?
Hint: its not the "everything will be great" messaging from the legalizers or the "the world will end" messaging from the drug hawks.

...

BOTEC's Chairman Mark Kleiman, a top expert on drug and crime policy (just named to the Politico 50!) has decided to turn up both the heat and light on these these ballot initiatives in a BOTEC Policy Impact Webinar (live video).

I will be interviewing Mark about the initiatives and there will be an opportunity at the end of the discussion to ask questions.

Event Info
• Date: Monday, October 27th, 2014
• Start Time: 12:00 pm PST / 3:00 pm EST

Hope to see you there!

"Advertising, like any other creative profession, demands a certain amount of bravery. In the art world, the risk-takers and real originals (Andy Warhol, Picasso, Damien Hirst) are the ones who become the center of attention and earn money. In movies, the greats that we remember are not the ones who made run-of-the-mill movies that made a nice amount of money. They're the visionaries who gave us films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Godfather, and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. In music, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles and Elvis dared to be different. They succeeded.

In advertising, it's the same story"

Is your ad campaign lacking bite? Do you wonder why ideas never take off? Maybe you need to take some brave, bold steps and fly higher.

“Creativity” is one of those grab-bag terms, like “happiness” and “love,” that can mean so many things it runs the risk of meaning nothing at all. And yet some of history’s greatest minds have attempted to capture, explain, describe, itemize, and dissect the nature of creativity.

What does creativity mean to you? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
