It started in 2013, when a community-based, free tax program filed the wrong form for Della. That resulted in a nearly $8,000 tax bill for the disabled, low-income senior. |
"I cut back on everything to make the payments, including medicine," said Della Miller, who spoke with 7 Eyewitness News Reporter Ed Reilly. |
Finally in 2018, Della was referred to the Volunteer Lawyers Project which identified the problem, got it straightened out with the IRS, and allowed Della to get a refund on all the money she had paid plus interest. |
That refunded money allowed the Buffalo woman to buy some medical equipment that she needed. |
"I am so thankful because it was a horrible experience. Now, I can sleep again," explained Della, who wants more low-income people to know about the free program. |

HumBio area of study: Medical Anthropology. |
HumBio was the best part of my Stanford experience! It led me to study medical anthropology, which led me to study leprosy in a slum in Mumbai. During that summer, I decided that I'd rather be a physician helping people than studying people, and thus began my career in medicine. 12 years later, I'm a physician in Oakla... |

My life resembles a module from Spring quarter of the Core, figuring out how to improve health care delivery in government-run health systems. The techy side helps me to understand the science behind things like blood sugar control for diabetics and the fuzzy side helps me figure out how to get doctors, nurses, and eve... |
The Human Bio undergrad major was valuable. It gave me a multidisciplinary perspective that I used to gain a JD and MBA. |

My favorite part of the HumBio core was Bill Durham's module on the evolution of lactose tolerance. What a fascinating story! I still tell it at parties to this day. HumBio was the perfect preparation for a career in public health - I just wish I had known more about this field before stumbling across it a few years af... |

HumBio area of study: Health as a Privilege. |
HumBio nurtured my interdisciplinary explorations and provided me with a breadth of knowledge that made many options after graduation both attractive and feasible. I eventually found my way to midwifery, and along the way I enjoyed an exciting few years in domestic and international health work. |
My work now involves helping people understand how the health reform law will affect their lives. I am so grateful to the professors who gave me an excellent background on health policy and our broken health care system so I can draw upon that knowledge when digging deep into this complicated system. |

Thanks to the great variety of HumBio classes, I was able to find a passion that carried on after graduation and continues to influence my future career plans.

One day in the Core, my good friend was sitting next to me and, about fifteen minutes into class, whispered that she felt really nauseous. Before we knew it, she had thrown up (albeit quietly) in her own lap. Stunned, we implored her to go home and clean up/get better while we cleaned up the mess. Shockingly, barely a ... |

One of my favorite HumBio experiences didn't occur during the Core, but actually happened this past year when I was working as a healthcare program director for a nonprofit in rural Kenya.

Neighbours actor Jordan Smith chats to DS about the latest Andrew and Natasha drama. |
Andrew Robinson hears shocking news on Neighbours next week as he finally learns that his scheming girlfriend Natasha Williams has been lying to him. After weeks of preparing himself for fatherhood, Andrew is left stunned as he discovers that Natasha's 'pregnancy' is nothing more than a sham. To make matters worse, a r... |
Have you enjoyed this big plotline for Andrew, Natasha and Summer? |
"It has been rather lengthy but I've enjoyed it. We've become really good friends out of it. It's certainly opened up the characters and showed different aspects to their personalities which I hope has been interesting for the viewers." |
What can you tell us about Andrew's discovery that Natasha is lying about her 'pregnancy' and how it comes about? |
"Andrew is oblivious to the possibility that this is all a scam, he is so focused on the baby, becoming a father and doing the right thing. It's Summer that digs deeper and discovers that it's all a lie and reveals it in front of all of us. Andrew finds out the same time that Tash realises she has been caught out." |
How does Andrew react to the news that Natasha has lied to him? |
"He doesn't know how to act. He is ripped apart. He had changed all the ideas of where he thought he was going in life to accommodate becoming a father, made all these massive changes over a lie - around a situation he didn't want to be in." |
Do you think Neighbours fans are against Natasha or do they have some sympathy for her? |
"Well, if my mum's reaction is anything to go by - she messaged me, and she knows Val and loves her to bits, but she said, 'I hate Tash and I want to kill her!' She thought it must have been hard for Val to do the storyline." |
Does Andrew's discovery pave the way for him to get together with Summer straight away, or isn't it as simple as that? |
"Come on, it's Neighbours, it's never as simple as that! Definitely not and because he is a bit scattered and his head is a mess over what's happened, they try to get together but she wants him to be one way, and he just isn't in the right frame of mind - he's racing at a 100 miles an hour to make sense of what has hap... |
What does Paul make of the whole situation? |
"Paul gives him some useless fatherly advice which is basically that there are more fish in the sea, get out there, have some fun, and ignore girls completely, which obviously isn't going to work!" |
Do you think Andrew would have been a good father? |
"I think he would have. Because he didn't have a hands-on father figure in his life, he was determined that wasn't going to happen to his child. He certainly had all the right intentions which was great for the character who is usually all about himself." |
We've heard that Andrew, Natasha and Summer will eventually all get on good terms again. How difficult is it for them to get to that point? |
"It is very difficult to get to that point because so much has happened, so much betrayal. It has become so much deeper now." |
Do you think the Andrew, Natasha and Summer storyline is reaching its natural end now, or is there still the possibility that Andrew could carry on being torn between the two? |
"I pray that it's near the end! I think their friendships have been pushed beyond their limits, so I'm looking forward to them all moving in another direction. The worst times are over, but as they're in each others' lives through school and the neighbourhood, there are always going to be conflicts." |
Moving forward, what else is in store for Andrew this year? |
"Andrew's got another hectic year ahead, particularly with school wrapping up, deciding where he wants to go and the love interests in his life change quite a bit. And what we are filming is a lot lighter, more humour which I'm enjoying." |
Andrew and Paul have had a turbulent relationship during your time on the show. Could we see them develop a closer bond at some point, especially in light of Rebecca's departure? |
"They definitely do get closer and a lot more comfortable with each other. Andrew isn't afraid to answer him back and Paul will give him advice. It's awesome working with Stefan." |
Are you glad that Chris Milligan is now staying at Neighbours on a full-time basis as Kyle Canning? Will Andrew and Kyle have much screen time together? |
"I love that Milligan is on the show more. We live together and we're best mates. Kyle and Andrew are very different characters and not in the same age bracket so they probably won't have a lot of screen time together at the moment. But it would be interesting working opposite each other, we would have to really work h... |
With a few of the younger cast members leaving, are you hoping that the producers bring in some new faces for Andrew to interact with? |
"Definitely, Andrew needs a mate so it would be great." |
Finally, most fans are aware that you moved to Australia from Scotland in 2003. Have you ever been back to the UK or had much chance to interact with the British fans of Neighbours? |
"I haven't been back since 2003, my parents could never afford to take the whole family back but hopefully soon I'll be able to get back, it's just a bit difficult working full-time on Neighbours. And I can confidently say that every single English backpacker out here has come up, rubbed me on the head and said hello!" |
Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5 in the UK, and on Eleven at 6.30pm in Australia. |
As a presidential speech writer for the first Bush White House, I am always very interested in what presidents say in their formal speeches. They know, of course, that their remarks will be widely covered by the press, studied by analysts, and influential in contemporary political debates. For that reason, presidents r... |
That's why President Barack Obama's speech at Ohio State University's 2013 Commencement should trouble all Americans. The speech was permeated with his distorted sense of America; he baldly stated -- as though it were the essence of this country -- that we need to "reject a country in which only a lucky few prosper." |
A typical commencement address is focused on lofty ideals and challenges graduating students to live up to their potential as they enter the workforce and assume adult responsibilities. But not this one! The Ohio State speech was billed as a defense of democracy and a challenge to students about the importance of citiz... |
The bottom line of the Ohio State speech was that, according to President Obama, being a good American boils down to hating those who dislike his policies. He blatantly asked the students to "reject those voices" of his opponents, whom he repeatedly caricatured with phrases describing them as people who view government... |
The president noted that he had visited the Ohio State campus five times "in the past year or so" -- partly explaining why he won Ohio in the 2012 election. He couched his appeals to the idealism of the young in terms of his old "hope" and "change" campaign rhetoric -- "people who love their country" will want to "chan... |
The president's cavalier attitude about the Boston massacre was breathtaking; he mentioned in a long litany of times when the students saw citizenship in action, "when the bombs went off in Boston" -- as though the explosions were on a par with a nature disaster, even though he described shooting attacks as "malevolent... |
As someone with a doctorate in communication theory who spent years analyzing presidential speeches and studying political rhetoric, I've never seen a presidential speech that was more repulsively self-centered and insidiously self-serving; nor has a previous president operated in campaign mode so unrelentingly through... |
Sadly, pathetically, Mr. Obama seems to really believe that anyone who opposes his agenda is un-American, and he continues to blame everyone but himself for his failures and for the multiple crises we face. His rhetoric is designed to stir up voters' emotions and mobilize them for the radical agenda in the community or... |
The city of Riviera Beach’s website boasts that it’s the best waterfront city in which to live, work and play, and this weekend it’s sure to live up to the hype. |
The city’s gorgeous beach will come alive as Black Entertainment Television (BET) comes back to the city to tape its annual spring break music festival, “Spring Bling 2010,” featuring sizzling hot performances and appearances by Trey Songz, Chris Brown, Soulja Boy, Nicki Minaj, Trina and more. |
“Spring Blingers” are set for a day of non-stop entertainment starting at noon on Saturday, April 10 with the BET fan favorite, “Beach Towel Throwdown,” featuring blazing performances by today’s chart-topping artists. |
Following all the fun and excitement will be two very special segments, “Ready 4 Trey,” with R&B superstar Trey Songz, and “I Am Nicki,” featuring hip-hop princess, Nicki Minaj. |
Hosts of the full day of excitement are BET’s 106th and Park hosts, Terrence J and Rocsi, as well as former America’s Next Top Model contestant, and BET correspondent, Toccara. |
About 2,000 students from all over the United States will take part in the TV taping on April 10. The show will air on BET on Friday, April 16 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., and also on Saturday, April 17 from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. |
Rose Anne Brown, public information officer for the city of Riviera Beach, agreed. |
Just three years ago, however, when BET first brought its Spring Bling to Riviera Beach, it had its detractors. Many of the beach’s mostly white residents expressed fear and concern. Many feared there would be rowdy, raucous crowds. |
The city council voted to host the event, anyway, and vowed it would do all it could to assure a safe, fun event. The city met that goal with extensive security and other measures to make sure the production went off without a hitch. |
“It goes well, because the kids know they’re part of a show. They’re not drinking. They’re not misbehaving. They’re following directions. It’s really well-orchestrated,” he said. |
Elderd has already extended the invitation to BET to return next year. |
Hillary Clinton has a long record in office that is far from laudable. Everyone knows how she operates. |
She uses politics to accumulate personal wealth; she is that modern type of politician who regards politics as a business for personal gain. “Public service” is but a cover. The UK has endured such politicians operating in Westminster too and the recent rise of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Party leader was in part a demonst... |
There are legal cases involving Clinton from the Whitewater controversy – which concerned property and real estate – at the start of her political path to power right up until today with the questions surrounding the email releases; let’s be quite clear, the worry is not just about missing emails or abuse by Clinton of... |
A Clinton presidency will mean more war. This much Trump is quite correct. Clinton wants a confrontation with Russia in Syria and in Europe over Ukraine and NATO’s relentless expansion eastwards. |
Clinton has assisted ISIS to grow and enabled al Qaeda to flourish in order to a wage war on Iran and its allies in the region, such as Syria – which also happened to be a Russian ally. |
She views jihadi terrorism as a tool to be manipulated to further US foreign policy in the Middle East, as Seymour Hersh and WikiLeaks have revealed. The Syria conflict will only worsen if Clinton is victorious. |
