Hufschmid works for the Clinton Climate Initiative, a charitable foundation set up by the former U.S. president, Bill Clinton in 2006.

In early 2011, it was announced that Murdoch would relocate to New York. Soon thereafter, it was speculated that Murdoch was the person behind the $23 million purchase of the Muppet Mansion, the house formerly owned by Jim Henson.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:

    Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.
    Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    The Troubles are a pigmentation in our lives here, a constant irritation that detracts from real life. But life has to do with something else as well, and it’s the other things which are the more permanent and real.
    Brian Friel (b. 1929)
