"I
often hear from new graduates that it's better to wait until you have
more experience ... but I'm a big believer in the power of
inexperience. It was the greatest asset I had when I started TFA. If
I had known at the outset how hard it was going to be, I might never
have started. The world needs you before you stop asking naïve
questions and while you have the time to understand the true nature
of the complex problems we face and take them on." --Wendy Kopp,

Police say that an Oregon man on drugs stole a car in front of deputies and
thought he was in a real-life version of the video game “Grand Theft Auto” when he led authorities on a forty-mile chase. 23-year-old Anthony Clark told police he had taken LSD when he got into a Toyota Camry that two Jackson County deputies were waiting to tow after an unrelated DUI stop. The sheriff’s office said Clark sped through multiple towns, crashed through a fence, ran over spike strips twice, and drove down several roads the wrong way. Clark was arrested after ramming into another police cruiser, fleeing into a mobile home park, and trying to steal another vehicle. Clark admitted to taking drugs and hallucinating while he was being interviewed by officers. The man is facing a bevy of charges from three different law enforcement agencies. (https://goo.gl/53WBRX)

A
car salesman at a League City auto dealership is suing his former
co-worker and the dealership’s parent company after he claims he
faced a number of abuses -- including intentional flatulence and
pinched nipples -- for more than a year. Brett Bland, who is filing
the lawsuit against Jeremy Pratt and CT Motors, Inc., contends in the
lawsuit that Pratt’s behavior included “constant taunting,
inappropriate banter, and making extremely crass, vulgar and rude
comments to or at the expense of (Bland),” creating a “sexually
hostile environment” at work and on social media. Among other
things, Bland claims Pratt “reinforced dominance over his
subordinates by regularly entering their enclosed offices,
intentionally passing gas, and then laughing as they were forced to
breathe soiled air.” (https://goo.gl/4J3B3G)
