#ClearTheList
#ClearTheLists, is a movement to help teachers across the U.S. obtain school supplies that consistently go uncovered by their school districts. Did you know that teachers spend a whopping average of $479 out of pocket on classroom supplies each year? Pitch in a little to help your favorite teacher clear their Amazon Wish List. Our daughter’s dance teacher sent us a link to her Amazon Wish List and we were thrilled to be able to donate. You can too!

Google Inc. has signed a lease for an entire 35-story tower that has started construction just east of the Central Library in downtown Austin, according to a commercial real estate source with knowledge of the deal.
Google declined to comment on the transaction, or on what it means for the company’s plans for its Austin operations. As of this past August, Google had more than 800 employees in Austin.
Austin-area brokers and Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce officials say the lease deal would seem to signal a major commitment to the Austin market by Mountain View, Calif.-based Google, which is one of the world’s largest companies.
