Wall Street Journal – Estate Once Owned by Eddie Murphy Asks $12 Million
Wall Street Journal – Estate Once Owned by Eddie Murphy Asks $12 Million
Jan. 9, 2014 7:57 p.m. ET
A California estate once owned by comedian Eddie Murphy is slated to go on the market this week for $12 million.
If it fetches that price, it will be the most expensive home ever sold in the Sacramento, Calif., area, said broker Nick Sadek of NRS Luxury Estates, who is co-listing the property with Jon Kirkpatrick of Chase International Real Estate.
The property is owned by Patrick K. Willis, a real-estate investor and founder of the Sacramento-based repossession firm American Recovery Service. Mr. Willis said he bought the home in 2007 from Mr. Murphy's ex-wife, Nicole, after the couple divorced. The $6.1 million Mr. Willis paid still holds the record for the most expensive residential sale in the Sacramento area, Mr. Sadek said. Mr. Murphy declined to comment; Ms. Murphy couldn't be reached to comment.
In the suburb of Granite Bay, the estate includes a 12,600-square-foot main home and a 5,200-square-foot guesthouse. There is a total of 10 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, a nine-car garage, a swimming pool, and tennis and basketball courts, according to the listing agents. It is being sold furnished and still has the décor put in place by the Murphy family, including a "Shrek"-themed bedroom—a nod to Mr. Murphy's role as "Donkey" in the animated films. The property also has a 12-seat screening room, an arcade parlor, four wet bars and a 1,200-square-foot gym with a sauna and steam room. There is also a Luigi Colani-designed Schimmel Pegasus piano, one of only a few in the world, the listing agents said.
The Murphys, who have five children together, bought the main house for $3.825 million in 1998, according to public records. They then paid $400,000 for the adjacent lot, Mr. Sadek said, where they built the guesthouse. The property totals 2½ acres.
Mr. Willis said he bought the home as an investment and never moved in. He used the property for philanthropic activities, and kept most of the staff to help maintain the home. He said he decided to sell for estate-planning reasons.

On Tuesday, former SC Governor Mark Sanford cleared the first hurdle on his political comeback. Sanford won the GOP primary for the 1st Congressional District with almost 37% of the vote in a crowded, 16-candidate field. Custic Bostic, former member of the Charleston City Council and state Sen. Larry Grooms are locked in a recount to determine who will face Sanford in the run-off election, scheduled for April 2nd. Sanford told Breitbart News he was "ready for the two-week sprint."
Sanford's successful political career collapsed a few years ago, after mistakes in his personal life became public. Sanford had previously told Breitbart News that his decision to reenter the political arena had been made with "great trepidation." His anxiety was overcome because the central political issue today, restoring government's fiscal integrity, had been his core political legacy.
Throughout his career in Congress and the Governor's office, Sanford had warned about the growing in-balance in our spending and the accelerating national debt. "A robust number of economic studies show that when debt gets to be 90-100% of GDP, it becomes a real drag on economic growth.
"There is a level of anxiety in the public," Sanford told Breitbart News Wednesday morning, "that I haven't seen in over 20 years in office." Sanford said the people he spoke with on the campaign are "both fearful and ticked off."
"They don't like the sequester [cuts] as a tool," Sanford said. "But, they love the idea of tapping the brakes" on spending.
"Someone said to me," Sanford observed, "'My family budget can survive a 2% cut, I don't understand why government cant.' People are just like, let's get on with it."
Turnout in the GOP primary was higher than expected. Almost the same number of votes were cast in this special Congressional primary as a special GOP primary for Governor a few years ago. The primary turnout also showed the district's strong GOP tilt. More than 3 times as many ballots were cast in the Republican primary as the Democrat primary. In fact, Sanford's raw vote total in the crowded primary field, just over 19,000 eclipsed the 15,000 votes received by the Democrat winner, Elizabeth Colbert Busch.
Sources in South Carolina told Breitbart News that the top three challengers to Sanford each spent over $500,000 on the primary, much of it devoted to sharp elbow attacks. Sanford will now face the second-place candidate in a run-off on April 2nd.
The winner of the run-off will then face Colbert Busch, sister of TV comedian Steven Colbert, in the general election on May 7th. Her celebrity brother will likely garner her a lot of earned media, but that likely won't be enough to win a seat held by the Republicans for more than 30 years. One prominent local democrat confided to sources that he feared Busch was "just too far left" for the district.
Regardless, Sanford is now one-step closer to shaking off his personal drama and reclaiming his political legacy.

September 9, 2005 09:52 – Kodak should have seen it coming! Doh!
It is a shame that Eastman Kodak, who have pretty much pioneered "hobbyist" photography since the late 1800´s with the introduction of the Kodak Brownie, are having such problems "keeping up with the Jones´", but I can't help thinking it is their own fault.
Whilst they are now starting to break ground with the innovative Easyshare One system, whereby you can e-mail images direct from your camera, it is something that they should have "jumped on" long ago.
A fascinating story in Newsday.com (linked below) tells us that way back in 1975, (when I was using the simplest of cameras from my new "spy kit" at just 8 years old), a Kodak employee called Steve Sasson had stumbled upon a new and revolutionary technology. To quote the article;
"Steven Sasson knew right away in December 1975 that his 8-pound, toaster-size contraption, which captured a black-and-white image on a digital cassette tape at a resolution of .01 megapixels, "was a little bit revolutionary."
When anyone asked, the Eastman Kodak Co. engineer ventured that it would become a commercial reality in 15 to 20 years."
So why then did it take Kodak so long to realise that the days of film were numbered? This new "invention" was about as significant (well almost) as the first images that were made using silver halides and umpteen chemicals by the likes of Monsieur Daguerre and his "Daguerreotypes".
With the success that they were having at the time, surely this deserved more time from Kodak, more energy and effort plus a little foresight to really explode them into the 21st Century.
It was companies like Sony however, that pushed the innovation in the 1980´s and is now one of the market leaders. Kodak did try to take charge of the DSLR market with their full frame sensor Pro range which sadly has now been scrapped.
So what now for Kodak? They are streamlining their workforce and giving everything they can to take control of the digital compact market in what is already an incredible "free-for-all", as more and more digital camera companies emerge and more and more digital cameras are released.
I for one am glad that I don't review cameras as a day job because quite frankly I couldn't keep up. I am quite happy to work with what I have, take the best images I can and upgrade only when it is necessary.
I sincerely hope that Kodak can cut it in the new digital era as they have played a large part in my "photographic life" since the early 1980´s, as did Ilford (RIP).
Happy Snapping!
September 9, 2005 10:42 – What´s all the Skype? – "Eureka"!
Ok, this isn't really photography related unless you have a webcam, but I did say "if it rocks our boat" we will tell you.
As I live in Spain and may be a bit behind the times, you may well already have heard about this. It also relates a little to the previous article about Kodak not "cottoning on" soon enough re the digital boom.
There is a definite message here for massive companies like British Telecom in the UK and Telefonica in Spain, not so much the for the United States as you lucky folk already have free local calls.
I recently purchased and moved into a property on a new development in Spain, so new in fact that it doesn't yet have any phone lines connected. It hasn't done for 9 months and won't have for a while yet, so when I heard about this and tried it I almost cried "Eureka"!
My internet connection is through a dish and ADSL "radio signal" but we still have no phone. It is a pain because all of our family is in the UK and we have a 2 year old son and another due in 2 weeks. We NEED to speak to our family.
Yesterday, my brother in the UK told me of "SKYPE", a new company with free software that currently allows you to make free calls from your PC. I knew this was available before, but the quality was poor and fairly new.
I downloaded the program in minutes, loaded it and was speaking immediately. The sound was crisp, clear and better than a normal phone…WOW!
All you need is a microphone and speakers attached to your PC, an internet connection and you are away. You can (for a small charge, and I mean small, this is where they make their money), call mobile phones, landlines and even have a voicemail service from your PC.
For me, we just talk through the PC's and it is like a lifeline to our family in the UK. Normal mobile to landline phone calls are quite expensive to the UK from Spain and our PC is on and logged on all day anyway, so when the "phone rings" I know I can chat all day and it won't cost a penny!
It works very similar to MSN messenger, so if you are familiar with that, this is a breeze (if my mother can do it, you can)!
If you don't know about this, download it now and check it out.
This for me is a major technological breakthrough and just emphasises the fact that the PC is fast becoming the technological centre-point of most homes.
If the large, European telecom companies do not recognise this, they may well suffer in the same way Kodak has.
Technology…Technology…RA RA RA!
Go to SKYPE and enjoy!

P.s. The Smilies and Emoticons are great!

Thinking About Having a Baby, or Recently Pregnant?
When you're planning a family, visiting the dentist may not be at the top of your priority list. However, if you're thinking about having a baby or are recently pregnant, a dental cleaning and check-up is best done sooner rather than later.
Good oral health is a component of good overall health, both for you and for your baby…
And the good news is, dental care is safe and essential during pregnancy.
Below are answers to common questions about dental treatment and pregnancy, as well as oral care tips for pregnant women.
Don't forget to come see us during this crazy, chaotic time!
Regular Visits to Monitor Pregnancy Gingivitis
Increase in hormones during pregnancy increases blood flow to the gums, which can cause swelling and tenderness. It can also cause "pregnancy gingivitis," caused by an exaggerated response to plaque on a pregnant woman's teeth. If ignored, this can lead to periodontitis, an active and destructive disease of the gums. The American Dental Association cites research linking premature birth and low birth rate to women with periodontitis. Regular dental visits during pregnancy and a strict hygiene regimen can prevent this disease. Often, we will recommend an extra hygiene visit to monitor the tissues, gums, and teeth while pregnant, or even soon before the baby is born (because for a time after, it may be hard to make it to your regularly scheduled appointment!).
Dental Procedures While Pregnant
When needed, dental work should and can be completed during pregnancy to reduce the chance of infection. This includes fillings, crowns, root canals, and extractions. The second trimester is the ideal time for treatment, since one you reach the third trimester, it may be difficult to lie on your back for an extended time.
Lidocaine is the most commonly used local anesthetic in dentistry. Lidocaine (2% with epinephrine) is a Pregnancy Category B drug, meaning there is no evidence of risk in humans, and is safe to use during pregnancy. Keeping this in mind, however, we use as little anesthetic as possible, still ensuring comfort, while minimizing any potential risk. Could we skip the numbing? Yes, but discomfort leads to stress, not only on the patient, but also on the baby.
Sometimes, an antibiotic is prudent to treat active infection before some dental procedures. Penicillin, Amoxicillin, Cephalosporin, and Clindamycin are all Category B drugs, and safe to take while pregnant. As far as treating pain, Tylenol (Acetaminophen) is also Category B, and is safe.
X-Rays and Radiation
Routine x-rays can be postponed until after the birth. However, x-rays are necessary when performing many dental procedures. According to the American College of Radiology, no single diagnostic x-ray has a radiation dose significant enough to cause adverse effects in a developing embryo or fetus.
Fetal organ development occurs during the first trimester, thus it is best to wait until after this time to get x-rays, unless in a true emergency situation (extreme pain, swelling, trauma, etc.). At NFD, we utilize digital radiography, which emits 80-90% less radiation than traditional films. We use lead aprons to shield the body and thyroid from the x-rays.
Morning Sickness
If you suffer from morning sickness, acidic destruction of your teeth can be a concern. If you are sick, rinse your mouth with water (or mouthrinse mixed with water) afterwards, and wait 20-30 minutes before brushing your teeth to avoid, literally, scrubbing the acid onto your teeth.
And, as always, we are truly committed to your health at Northstar and would be happy to answer any additional questions you may have!

Henry C. Levy, Treasurer, Alameda County
Henry C. Levy (Hank) is honored to begin his work at the County Treasurer-Tax Collector (TTC), and is looking forward to working diligently with his expert staff of 54 dedicated employees in Oakland and Hayward. Hank intends to lead the office with integrity, efficiency and transparency, and looks forward to collaborative working relationships with all other departments and leaders of the County.

Hank has been a CPA since 1987, worked for large accounting firms, and began to build his practice in Oakland in 1991, where he created a firm from its beginnings in his home to a bustling practice centered at College Avenue in Oakland that employed over 30 people in 6 offices in Northern California. Although Hank is no longer an owner, The Henry Levy Group, A CPA Firm, still exists, specializing in tax compliance and planning, small business accounting, entity and tax structuring, political treasury reporting, non-profit & labor union accounting work, litigation support, and forensic investigations.

He has been involved either as a member or board member of OCCUR, Machinists Local 64, Plant Closures Project, Oakland School District Budget Advisory Committee, City of Oakland Citizen and Business Budget Advisory Committees, City of Oakland Political Reform Act Advisory Committee, North Atlantic Books, La Pena, Conciliation Forum, Pogo Park, Rockridge Soccer Club and Rockridge District Association, the East Bay Chapter of the California Society of CPAs, among others. He was a board member and president of the KPFA Radio Station Board from 1992 to 1997, served on the Alameda County Assessment Appeals board from 2004 to 2017, and was the proud PTA president of Peralta Elementary School during the years 1983-1985. Hank continues to train income tax preparers in the VITA (Voluntary Income Tax Assistance) program at the Hayward Area Recreation District.
An Oakland and Berkeley resident for over 45 years, he has raised 4 children, and assisted their sports and school clubs and teams. Hank began umpiring baseball games during his youngest son's involvement with the sport and went on to train as a high school and college level umpire. He has umpired games, including men's baseball, vintage baseball, and women's softball, all over the county and surrounding counties, including umpiring at San Quentin prison. He recently authored a personal memoir in a book on umpiring.
Hank is an accredited community college instructor. He has taught accounting, employee benefits, and economics at San Francisco Community College, Laney College and San Francisco State University, as well as teaching through the UC Labor Center and Haas School of Business.
An East Coaster by birth, Hank came out to California in his early twenties. Hank was married to Marcia Goodman for almost 32 years until she passed away from complications from Ovarian Cancer on December 5th, 2017. He is proud of the happy family they created together.
Hank received his B.A (History) from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, his M.A (Industrial Arts) from San Jose State University, and his accounting education from California State, Hayward (now Cal East Bay) and Golden Gate University.

Let me start off by saying this: humans are dumb. They are so self-centered, they think that only they could be smart enough to be historians, or spies, or the great thinkers. I'm living, hopping proof that anyone can be brilliant. I'm a flea, and I've got a tiny conspiracy theory to share with you.
We fleas like to study our prey before we choose them – that's another thing humans have gotten WRONG about us. I've been watching a certain cat, and there's some weird stuff going on with her. To put it bluntly, I think this chubster is a time traveler. (And for your information, tinfoil hats do come in flea sizes!) A lot of you might know the classic photo of a man spontaneously kissing a woman in the middle of Times Square. The truth is that that photo has been edited. In my research, I found the original…
So fat, so confused, and so OUT OF PLACE! Clearly she had just popped into that moment in time. In fact, through further research, I came across the following stereogram:
Why would a stereogram, a medium which was only popular centuries ago, exist of this modern cat? And why would it depict her disrupting da Vinci's work? Because she's a time traveler. That's why. It might as well be a photograph!
In all honesty, I want to travel through time. I mean, come on. I'm a flea. We're studious, but small. We don't get a lot of chances in life. You know what? I've made up my mind. I'm gonna jump onto this cat! Think of all the things I'll learn… all the flea kingdoms I'll create and RULE with an iron fist! I have no idea what it might be like to travel through time – when I imagine it, it seems like…
Wow. That's horrific.
Here she comes! I'll jump on, but as soon as it gets time travelly, I think I'm gonna close my eyes. I can't get that horrible thought out of my head. Doctor Mew… no thanks! I hear a rumble, is it a purr? Or are we off already?! My eyes are shut tight! Is this what time travel sounds like?
It's stopped. Is it over? Something is different. I smell milk… and fish. What kind of horrible time are we in? What society would have milky fish? Fishy milk? Hang on. Here's a newspaper.
2417! DR. LEMEW?! She really was a time traveler… but she wasn't even from my time. Am I stuck here now, where Thursday is "Purrsday"? You know, I was right. But this feels pyrrhic. I should have studied a squirrel. I don't know if I want to live in a time where they actually like crooked newspapers, no matter what some weirdo time traveler says. In fact, I'm pretty sure she's a liar. No one has ever liked crooked newspapers. Kitty leMew is a FRAUD, and – hold on, let me find the futuristic tinfoil – I have to expose her!

Research groups, programs, and partnerships new in fall 2015
September 15, 2015
Thanks to Roberta Buffett Elliott's generous gift, we are excited to announce that the Buffett Institute will now provide significant funding to launch three new interdisciplinary research groups, five new working groups, and four new or broadened global partnerships as part of the competitive Big Idea and Global Partnership faculty funding initiatives. The first wave of funding will also include support for a major graduate student-led conference.
New Research Groups
Led by Christina Lafont and Karen Alter, the research group on Global Capitalism and Law will examine how laws and legal institutions differentially contribute to creating politically sustainable market economies. The group aims to move beyond debates about the varieties of capitalism to focus on comparative and international dimensions of law as it intersects with economies in advanced industrial, emerging, developing, and global market systems.
The research group Global Politics & Religion under Beth Shakman Hurd and Brannon Ingram will bring together innovative thinkers in search of new understandings of and creative responses to the challenges of socially and religiously diverse worlds. The project also seeks to improve public understanding of such questions by opening pathways beyond the tired alternation between naïve celebration of religion as the source of morality, community, and freedom, and denigration of religion as the root of global instability.
Directed by Rajeev Kinra and Laura Brueck, the Global Humanities Initiative research group will bring much-needed attention not only to the rich humanistic traditions of non-Western voices, but also to their relevance for global development and public policy — helping to make Northwestern a recognized leader in a vital international conversation about the continuing role of the humanities in building a more just, tolerant, and humane 21st century. The initiative will be funded through a partnership between the Buffett Institute and the Kaplan Institute for the Humanities.
New Working Groups
Christopher Bush and Nasrin Qader will lead the working group, French and the Global Humanities, to actively rework the scholarly, pedagogical, and institutional parameters of what it means to study French language and culture for the global future.
The working group on Andean Cultures and Histories, led by Jorge Coronado and Sherwin Bryant, will address how the idea of the Andes as a region has been elaborated in written traditions and scholarship, and how the inhabitants of the region have sought to elaborate their relation to land, history, and global flows in the region. The group will enrich Northwestern's engagement with the Andes through a variety of programming, outreach, and scholarly projects.
The Global Research University is a new working group led by Jackie Stevens, Stephen Eisenman, and Jessica Winegar. They will develop a research agenda with other scholars to systematically study the potential benefits and concerns of foreign satellite campuses for the mission of a university.
The working group on Russian and Eastern European Studies, administered by Clare Cavanagh, will combine strengths across disciplines to create a new kind of regional research, conceived not in the shadow of the Cold War, but with an eye both to the enormous geopolitical changes that have marked the region over recent decades, and to the needs of a 21st-century university.
The Northwestern Forum for Languages and Cultures working group—led by John Paluch, Christiane Rey, and Deborah Rosenberg—will offer opportunities for students, faculty, and staff in all our colleges and schools to participate in language- and culture-based initiatives focused on expanding the study of foreign languages and cultures beyond the classroom. Given the centrality of foreign languages to an education in our globalized world, this group will spur local and global initiatives in the direction of both academic research and social engagement.
New Partnerships Strengthen Northwestern's Global Connections
Roberta Buffett Elliott's gift also helped to grow and strengthen Northwestern's relationship with key institutions and partners around the world. The French Interdisciplinary Group, a long-standing Buffett working group, will pursue a new faculty group with colleagues at Sciences Po to promote exchanges, dual degrees, and joint research projects.
The Program of African Studies, led by Will Reno, will now collaborate with local partners in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, and other African countries to study the changing character of violence and the state.
The Comparative-Historical Social Science workshop, another long-time Buffett group, will continue its highly successful graduate exchange and summer conference program with the Max Planck Institute in Cologne, Sciences Po in Paris, the European University Institute in Florence, and Columbia University in New York City.
Finally, Dilip Gaonkar and the School of Communication will partner with the London School of Economics to address the fundamental challenges that the fast-changing media, communication, and information environment pose for today's world.
The Buffett Institute's Inaugural Graduate Student Conference
Additionally, support from the recent gift has enabled Northwestern PhD students from anthropology, political science, and history to design and execute a two-day conference for fellow graduate students and top scholars from around the world titled "Islam and the State." This year's conference will probe the enduring entanglement of Islam and modern statehood. The students will solicit comparative paper submissions, invite keynote speakers, and host various panels and receptions on the topic. Learn more about the graduate student conference.
Apply for the Next Round of Funding
More information about the award recipients and their projects is available on our website. The next round of Big Idea and Global Partnership funding will be awarded in spring 2016. Deadlines and application information will be posted in our funding section in late 2015.

If Heaven really exists, it would be just like a folky, bluegrassy, neo-hippie music festival. Forget the whole bit about angels floating around in nightgowns in the clouds, strumming on harps; they're wearing the skimpiest of clothing, enjoying the perfect bodies God gave them. They're playing the guitar, the fiddle, the upright bass, the drums. They're swaying with hula hoops and keeping those sticks you keep in the air with two other sticks. They dance and they dance and they dance. When they're not dancing, they're smiling and they're still smiling when they are dancing, that blissful smile that tells you they're transported by the music. And everyone's young. Even the old hippies, circled in chairs in the shade, reunioned with friends for the thirty-ninth consecutive year, are young, forever young, and released from the cynicism that arrived with the mortgage papers, was supplied, along with staplers, paper clips, and keyboards in cubicle farms, and accrued with a 401(k).
Despite the abundance of joy around him, the Geeky Guy wasn't feeling it. He was wishing he'd never gone on this date. He would've like to have been home, reading a two year old newspaper, or in his workshop, with his screwdrivers, voltage meters, and soldering guns, repairing a TV he would never watch, rather than following the Lisping Barista, as fine as she looked from behind, past the rows of tie-dye venders, patchouli merchants, and foot reflexologists. Peace, love, and understanding is all very well and good; but it can't compete with peace, calm, and predictability. He was OK with getting a girlfriend, but not at the cost of losing himself.
So, what was the problem? What could possibly be wrong with accompanying an attractive female to hear good music outdoors on a beautiful day in a loving environment? What could possibly be wrong with that?
If I were going to create a hell, I would not need to go through the expense of digging a hole in the middle of the earth, staffing it with demons, supplying it with pitchforks and fueling an unquenchable fire. No, I could build it right in heaven, with angels and an everlasting soundtrack of hallelujahs. St Peter would have no need to guard the pearly gate, keeping out all unredeemed sinners. He could just let them in, provided they possessed a single thought.
What would be the thought? What single, simple thought could possibly ruin being in heaven? What electrochemical signal, cognitive track, firing of synapses could hell of a heaven make?
The Geeky Guy was afraid he would have a panic attack.
Please note, he wasn't actually having a panic attack, actually having one is unnecessary. He was worried he might have one. A panic attack would ruin everything.
The Spellbinding Fish Fry was not on till later, but an opening act tuned up on the grandstand in the middle of a county fair racetrack. The dusty track was packed with people. The Geeky Guy would've preferred having his panic attack at a little distance, but the Lisping Barista dove right into the crowd and he had no choice but to follow. No sooner had they arrived at the foot of the stage, than the band began to play. The Geeky Guy wanted to tell the Lisping Barista they were too close, he didn't feel well, could she take him home. He leaned to her ear and she turned it towards him. He could smell her hair, it smelled of coconuts; but she couldn't hear him. She just smiled and flashed her eyes, as if to say, isn't this heaven!
The Geeky Guy tried to do the things the Therapist Emeritus had taught him. He slowed his breathing; but, when the music started, the crowd began to dance and kick up dust, till he could barely breathe at all. He tried to focus on a distant point, but his concentration was swarmed by fears, apprehensions, and trepidations. Even the music, which should've been overpowering, for he was by the speakers, seemed to diminish, revealing a single, reiterating, reductive thought, like a strumming bass line. I'm going to have a panic attack. I'm going to have a panic attack. I'm going to have a panic attack. Where is she?
The Lisping Barista was gone.
She had spotted some friends and gone off through the crowd to meet them.
The Geeky Guy turned from the stage to look for her, pushing his way through the crowd, first in one direction, then in another. Every single face he encountered had a broad grin. They were laughing at him, he thought. He was going to have a panic attack and everyone would laugh. They were laughing already.
Of course they weren't laughing at him. They were smiling because they were in heaven. If you were in heaven, wouldn't you smile? They barely noticed the Geeky Guy.
He had reached the edge of the crowd and broke into a run as the Lisping Barista spied him out of the corner of her eye. She'd been talking with her friends, Deep Fries, both; a rugby player with a busted knee, and a fat woman with too much makeup. The Rugby Player and the Fat Woman with Too Much Makeup had just been telling her where their bus was parked, what they had on board, and when they were going to smoke, drink, and snort it. As important as this was to know, the Lisping Barista said, there goes my guy, and ran off after him. The Rugby Player and the Fat Woman with Too Much Makeup followed at a more stately pace; The Rugby Player, because of his knee and the Fat Woman with Too Much Makeup, because she was just plain fat.
His instincts were direct: run to cover; even though the thoughts that brought him to that point were complex. He had seen that the Lisping Barista had seen him, but he had already committed himself to avoiding his panic attack. Once evasive maneuvers take over, there's no going back. There's no saying, there's your ride home, the very person you were looking for, the one you were afraid of losing, you found her now, you can calm down. No, circumstances demanded that he hide, so hide he must.
The Geeky Guy ran into a nearby shed, which happened to be filled with costumes and people trying them on. He bushwhacked through yards of tulle and hid himself within a labyrinth of clothing racks. The Lisping Barista tried to follow after him, but a piercing got caught on some lace. By the time she freed herself and located him by his heavy breathing, he had stopped and was sitting on the floor behind some long dresses. His feet stuck out where he might've tripped her.
Fortunately, the Lisping Barista knew how to deal with people avoiding panic attacks, when she wasn't avoiding one of her own. Even though she saw his feet, she tripped over them anyway, went sprawling to the floor, and slid obliquely to his side.
"Oh, there you are. I wath looking for you."
The Geeky Guy didn't say anything. He was trying to breath.
"You found a nith plathe." She gave a long sigh and cradled her hands behind her head. "I got thome friendth I want you to meet, but leth thtay here a while."
It was a nice place, there on the floor, behind the long dresses, smelling of coconuts. In fact, it was beginning to seem a little like heaven.

ODOT Outlines Looming Financial Crisis
(Tuesday, January 17, 2012) – After a year of discussing the looming transportation financial crisis facing Ohio, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) today released funding projections that could result in pushing back by decades some of the state's largest construction projects.
ODOT staff made the recommendations during a presentation to the Transportation Review Advisory Council (TRAC), a bi-partisan group responsible for approving funding for the State's largest transportation projects.
"Unfortunately, this is Ohio's new reality. For far too long, previous administrations have added more and more to the list of TRAC projects knowing that there were more projects than funds available," said ODOT Director and TRAC Chairman Jerry Wray. "Their poor planning has put us in the position of making the tough decisions and delivering the bad news to many communities throughout the state that there simply is not enough money to fund their projects."
The TRAC is wrapping up a year-long process of receiving and reviewing applications for transportation funding projects throughout the state. The TRAC received 72 applications in 2011 for new transportation projects totaling nearly $10 billion. Planning, design and construction of various phases of additional projects totaling $2 billion is already underway. However, ODOT only has roughly $100 million per year to spend on new construction.
ODOT is funded completely with state and federal motor fuel tax and has seen that revenue shrink over the past several years. As vehicles become more fuel efficient and fuel consumption decreases, so does the amount of revenue generated to pay for Ohio's infrastructure and create jobs.
"We know transportation is the lifeblood of Ohio's economy and we cannot sit back and do nothing about this dire situation," said Wray. "We are going to be looking at new and innovative ways to reduce costs and generate additional transportation funding."
The TRAC now faces the daunting task of rejecting a portion of the applications for new funding, while ODOT must consider innovative or alternative funding sources to pay for the state's growing infrastructure.
The nine-member Transportation Review Advisory Council was established by the Ohio Revised Code in 1997 and provides guidance for developing a project selection process for ODOT's largest investments of more than $12 million.

She is the 11th secretary of state for Education in the United States of America. She has been in the education sector for more than 30 years. Betsy DeVos has a goal of advocating for small children and voicing the cries of parents who are not able to afford private education for their kids. She likes it if all kids would have quality education in the whole of the country.
Betsy DeVos' mother was a teacher, and she used to encourage her to pursue education, and she wanted her to one day provide the education to the young. She has been serving the children as a mentor in the Grand Rapids area in Michigan. Calvin College is where she had her studies and got her BA degree. She is a reformer in the things that she does, whatever projects always turn into the pride of the USA. This positive attitude towards work has always been in her family. Her husband, Dick DeVos is also working with her, and he was the Republican nominee for Governor of Michigan. Read her interview with Philantrophy Table.
With her upbringing, she has made sure that kids from the poor places in the state and the entire country are taken to goods schools. They target to take the kids into schools that have a favorable environment and safety. With her husband, they helped Latino parents send children to private schools. Betsy has always been generous helping low-income earning parents by taking their kids to the right schools.
Betsy DeVos started a foundation that had an objective of sponsoring hard working kids. The parents are the ones that will choose the school for children to go. The scholarship was outstanding, but all kids were not able to get a chance to use this foundation because the finances could only support a few.
Her efforts in the 90s were to become a board member in two charitable organizations those are, Children First America and the American Education Reform Council that was going to allow the members and stakeholders to increase the number of schools that children could choose from. Vouchers and tax credits were going to be used, and this project was started in Michigan where she expanded the charter schools in Michigan. The expansion gave her the idea to form the Great Lakes Education Project.
Great Lakes Education Project made her head the American Federation for Children. The Late John Watson founded the Federation together with Betsy's husband. It changed the name to All Children Matter. The people who were advocating for choosing schools worked with her in the Alliance for School Choice that was an organization helping parents know about the need for quality schooling. Law makers were given advice on how to implement the education requirements. Visit Betsy's profile page on Facebook.
American Federation for Children Action Fund prioritize children education. Betsy and her members are well organized and are always successful in providing kids with the funds.

Using fertilizer on your lawn is the best way to achieve a beautiful lawn. However, it is important to know how to use fertilizer on your lawn. Using fertilizer in the right way will help you in achieving the desired results. If you are not a gardening expert, then you might not have the skills on how to use fertilizer on your own. It is important to learn how to use fertilizer in the right way so that you can achieve the desired results.
Tips on using fertilizer
Know the right time to use fertilizer
It is important to know the right time to use fertilizer on your lawn. The best time for using fertilizer is during spring because at this time the soil has the right temperature. During spring, the soil in your lawn tends to warm up, and if you use fertilizer at this time, it will be well absorbed by the soil. Using the fertilizer at the right time and season is the best way to make sure that you get results. If your fertilizer has not been working like it is supposed to work, then maybe you have been using the wrong fertilizer.
Choose the right type of fertilizer
The common type of fertilizer is the spray fertilizer that is sprayed in the entire lawn. This is a good option if you are an expert in gardening and you know how to spread the fertilizer well in the entire garden. On the other hand, if you are not an expert in gardening, then you need to stay away from this type of fertilizer. Using granular fertilizer is the best for beginners. The process might be slow, but it will guarantee you result.
Irrigating your lawn
When using fertilizer, you need to remember about irrigating your lawn. You might realize that your lawn now needs more water when you start using fertilizer. If you have used the granules fertilizer, then it is important to use a lot of water because the granules need to be broken down for proper absorption in the soil.
Don't use too much fertilizer
Too much fertilizer can damage your lawn, and it is important to learn how to use the fertilizer sparingly. If you are not impressed with the look of your lawn, then you might be tempted to go overboard with the fertilizer. It is important to follow the instructions of the manufacturer to obtain the best results.

Transition from school to the community can mean many things: finding a job, starting a certificate program, entering community college, attending a four-year program etc. Transition also means changes to supports, such as health care, social security benefits, where to live, and many other areas of life. Most importantly, it means making decisions for one's self and self-determination. You will find resources on all of these topics and more in this section.

In July 2014, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) after it passed with virtually unanimous bipartisan support in Congress the first update to the nation's core workforce training programs in the 16 years since the passage of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). A lot has changed since 1998 and our workforce system hasn't kept up. Low skilled and low income workers face more barriers than ever to securing an education and getting a good job.

With the passage of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), Congress has reauthorized the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA), including the Rehabilitation Act, through 2020. Commenting on the bill's passage, President Obama stated that the bill "will help workers, including workers with disabilities, access employment, education, job-driven training, and support services that give them the chance to advance their careers and secure the good jobs of the future.

Parents of youth with disabilities have unique opportunities to promote their successful transition to postsecondary education, employment and full adult participation in society. Families can assist in the transition process by providing adolescents direction in their exploration of interests, guidance in career and college planning, and encouragement as they pursue their dreams. The following resources may be helpful in assisting parents as their children prepare for college and careers.

Work-Based Learning (WBL) is an effective approach in delivering career and technical education and training to youth with disabilities. The WBL approach provides these services in community workplace settings rather than in conventional school environments. Because, WBL activities take place in workplace settings, they must comply with the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) administered through the U.S. Department of Labor and state labor laws.

Post-school employment rates for youth with significant disabilities remain intractably low. An important policy concern is whether youth who receive disability cash benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA) are obtaining the necessary supports to make a successful transition to adult life. The SSA initiated the Youth Transition Demonstration (YTD) projects in an attempt to develop services and supports to assist youth in making a successful transition into adulthood. This article provides a detailed description of the intervention components for the YTD projects and presents three case descriptions to illustrate how youth can potentially benefit from these services. The selected cases in this paper illustrate the potential for youth with disabilities to leverage project services and move into employment.

Richard Billingham's story is an oddity in the history of British art. Having been 'discovered' as a painting student at Sunderland University, he rapidly went on to become one of the only household names in British photography and to become recognized, nationally and internationally, as an important artist. In 1997 he won the Citibank prize and in 2001 he was shortlisted for the Turner prize.

RB. Richard Billingham
GM I wonder what first drew you towards art?
RB I learned to read quite late, maybe 7 or 8 years old. Not because I was thick but because my parents didn't bother pushing me. When I did learn I wanted to read everything and a big world opened up to me. I would read art books in the local library. I probably read most of them – there weren't many there but I got to know who Picasso was. Constable was the artist who influenced me the most. He was a naturalist and his empirical approach to landscape painting has interested me all this time. Since I was 11 I have been interested in nature. I lived in a tower block and nature, to me, was escapism. I wanted to paint landscapes but it was, like, impossible at the time.
GM How did your parents feel about you taking up art?
RB They were indifferent to it. They probably liked it because, if I was drawing, I was occupied and didn't need looking after.
GM How did the photographs start?
RB There was just me and my dad living in the flat in a tower block. My mum had left and lived in a neighboring tower block due to his incessant drinking. I saw this scene every day – he would be in his bedroom, lying on the bed or sitting on the edge of the bed, looking in the mirror, drinking. I thought that I would like to make some paintings about this tragic situation and the way he appeared to me in the bedroom. Whenever I made a painting I would make it quickly – each painting at the time took about 15-20 minutes. I did try to teach myself to take longer over a painting but the trouble was that my dad wouldn't sit still for long enough – he'd want a drink or he would go to the toilet. Later I managed to get a 35mm Zenith camera. I thought I could use the photographs as source material for the paintings. He was held still by the photographs and I could paint from them taking more time.
