...much the creditors will eventually receive is up in the air. Charles Cohen, Villa's lawyer, says that "obviously, Mr. Villa is going to try to pay back everything he can. How much I can't tell you at this point." In the assets column, Villa's most valuable possession is his $1.4 million Boca Raton home. But it's beyond the reach of his creditors, thanks to the homestead exemption...
...movie solo. (Co-star Helen Hunt, who plays his girlfriend, isn't around for the scenes in Fiji.) "It makes you crazy," he says. "You're not sharing the storytelling lifting with someone you can react off of. It's almost like making a silent movie; you have to tell every aspect of the story physically, being totally alone." Well, not totally alone. The castaway adopts a piece of flotsam--a volleyball he names Wilson, for its manufacturer--as his best friend and foil.

"Make the Census interesting, who'd have thought?" says (real) White House spokesman Joe Lockhart. The West Wing has become our national civics lesson...
Before a trip, hold a family meeting to hear what each kid wants from the vacation and to tell them what's expected. Try to include at least one activity that's special to each kid, but make clear that they're expected to make the best of whatever the family is doing. "The most difficult moments will be when kids have idle time but can't behave like kids," Komisarjevsky said. "Plan for that." If you travel by car, for instance, identify fishing or swimming spots along the route to give kids a break. On planes, let older kids...
