The Credit Bureau VIP List
|Email Print
I was half-surprised to read about how credit bureaus have a two tiered system when it comes to their credit reports and how they resolve errors. Apparently, the three bureaus are quick to correct errors for the rich and famous, while the rest of us peons get relegated to their automated system that takes months to resolve even the simplest of problems.
According to the NY Times:
The three major agencies, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, keep a V.I.P. list of sorts, according to consumer lawyers and legal documents, consisting of celebrities, politicians, judges and other influential people. Those on the list — and they may not even realize they are on it — get special help from workers in the United States in fixing mistakes on their credit reports. Any errors are usually corrected immediately, one lawyer said.
While the headline of the article is about the VIP list, I felt the most important part was the bit about how they resolve issues. I'm not so naive to think the world is fair and everyone is treated equally – it's certainly not. However, knowing that all they do it send my request to someone overseas to code it is valuable. ("complaints are often electronically ferried to a subcontractor overseas, where a worker spends, on average, about two minutes figuring out the gist of the matter, boiling it down to a one-to-three-digit computer code that signifies the problem … and sending a dispute form to the creditor to investigate")
If they aren't spending more than 2 minutes, I'm not spending more than 2 seconds to get the ball rolling. If I see a problem with a credit report, I flag it immediately and let them sort it out. If they require documentation on my part, then I'll waste my time trying to look it up and collecting it. Knowing they spend just 2 minutes is valuable, it lets me know that I shouldn't spend much time either (at least in the beginning).
How do you feel about this VIP list?{ 8 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

A body was discovered in a fully-engulfed car at the Comfort Suits in Fernley late Tuesday night.
According to the Lyon County Sheriff's Office:
Deputies from the Lyon County Sheriff's Office, and fire personnel, responded to the Comfort Suits in Fernley for a vehicle fire in the hotel parking area shortly before midnight on Tuesday.
Responding units arriving on scene discovered a car and a truck both fully engulfed. Once the fire was extinguished a body was discovered in the car.
Lyon County deputies, Lyon County detectives, and the state Fire Marshall are investigating.
No further information is available at this time.

I just read that you were addressing students in your Eagle's Eye publication about the parking problems, new fees, regulations, etc.
How about working with IVGID to resolve some of these issues which also affect local residents and homeowners who live close to the campus? Especially the parking of vehicles now on Mill Creek Road, Country Club Drive and Incline Way.
This is all turning into a parking eyesore and sometimes dangerous for students entering and exiting vehicles. Sometimes there are cars even parked on both sides of Mill Creek Road, turning it into a one-lane road for cars trying to drive both directions at once. Even parking right next to a fire hydrant there with no concern.
I surely hope that the college and Incline Village can resolve some issues with this and keep vehicles parked within the campus or within approved parking areas.

Q. I heard that a man with Crohn's disease got relief from diarrhea by eating coconut. My husband had been having diarrhea almost every day since 2004. We never knew what caused it, and the gastro doctor could not cure it.
I talked my husband into taking shredded coconut (a spoonful morning and night). He was skeptical, but after a couple of months, the symptoms faded, and now they are gone.
When we moved to Florida, my husband weighed 175 pounds. Starting in 2004, his weight kept dropping, eventually to 127 (very thin for a man 5 feet 10 inches tall). He was miserable. I thought that if he kept losing weight, he would die.
He is now back to 160 pounds, looks great and has his energy back. My life has improved, too, because my husband is once again enjoying life with me!
A. There is no scientific evidence that coconut can ease symptoms of Crohn's disease or other chronic conditions that cause diarrhea. Nonetheless, we have heard from hundreds of readers who have benefited from this inexpensive and safe approach.
Q. My blood pressure has steadily been rising during the past year. I'm 27, fit, slim and don't eat junk food. The doctor says we need to watch my blood pressure and possibly treat it with medication. I'm quite averse to taking regular medicines.
I listen to your radio show and have read books and websites on the topic of blood pressure. What I've gleaned is reduce sodium and work out. I don't use salt at the table or eat out, and I rarely eat prepared foods.
Is there something natural that could lower my blood pressure so I won't need a prescription drug?
A. It is unusual for someone who is young and fit to have hypertension, but it is not unheard of. There are several natural approaches that might be helpful, including breathing exercises, magnesium supplements, beet juice, pomegranate, Concord grape juice and dark chocolate. All have been shown scientifically to lower blood pressure.
We are sending you our Guide to Blood Pressure Treatment with details about these and other approaches to controlling hypertension. Anyone who would like a copy, please send $3 in check or money order with a long (No. 10), stamped (65 cents), self-addressed envelope to: Graedons' People's Pharmacy, No. B-67, P.O. Box 52027, Durham, NC 27717-2027. It also can be downloaded for $2 from our website: www.peoplespharmacy.com.
Ask your doctor to check you for sleep apnea, a condition that can contribute to hypertension. Correcting it can sometimes lower blood pressure almost as much as medication (Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, Oct. 15, 2012).
Q. Are there any natural approaches for the pain of neuropathy?
A. There are two possibilities. One is alpha lipoic acid. A meta-analysis of 15 randomized controlled trials demonstrated that it is safe and probably effective for treating diabetic nerve pain (European Journal of Endocrinology, October 2012). The other possibility is benfotiamine, a synthetic derivative of vitamin B-1 (Pharmacological Research, June 2010).
One reader shared this experience: "Benfotiamine has absolutely stopped the sharp electrical pains in my feet. It also has considerably relieved the tenderness and pain on the skin of my feet. Nothing else helped me.
"I started with 300 mg a day – 150 mg in the morning and 150 mg in the evening. I have reduced that now to 75 mg a.m. and 150 mg p.m."

The X Factor judge says it's difficult being on camera since her treatment for anorexia and bulimia. In fact, while millions watch her on TV each week, she doesn't watch herself.
"It is still hard being in front of the camera when you have suffered from eating disorders, and I still don't watch my episodes. It is hard," Lovato, 21, told reporters at Thursday's show.
"I think ultimately my main thing is singing," she said. "Maybe movies once in a while, if the right role comes along."
Lovato has a new book out called Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year, in which she came to terms with her struggles. "This book helps me continue to help me love myself, and it changes my self esteem and my thought process," she said. "I just feel a lot happier. I feel great."
She is blunt when talking about what treatment did for her. "The harsh reality is that I wouldn't be alive," she said. "I wouldn't have a book or be a judge. I wouldn't be alive. At one point nobody thought I was going to make it. But here I am, standing here today as a judge. I am here today breathing and have a heartbeat, and that is what I am thankful for."
The book, of course, represents a crucial step in her recovery – from needing hope and inspiration to now providing it to others.
"I was called a role model the second I made it in the industry, and I never felt like one," she said. "I finally feel like a role model, and I am doing the things I am supposed to do in this world. This [book] is one of the small ways I can make a difference – if it changes one person's life or makes someone happy and changes their energy in their day."
Lovato has a busy rest of the year planned, but then she'll have a break.
"I will take the month of January completely off!" she said. "I want to vacation! I want to watch crime shows on my DVR on my couch ... I need to do some exercising and I don't really have time to do it. I love horseback riding and never get to do that stuff, but January is my time to do all of that."

COLUMBIA — It wasn't the SEC East race keeping Steve Spurrier awake late Saturday night.
South Carolina's coach tossed and turned, unable to sleep, replaying his team's two-point loss at Tennessee over and over in his head. How could there be such a letdown with so much on the line? What could he have done differently?
The questions stole his shuteye.
"Oh, every call that doesn't work, you sort of go back and wish you'd called this one or that one," Spurrier said. "… We did some things that really hurt us."
Spurrier's offense, an unstoppable force most of this season, morphed into a mistake-plagued shell of itself over 60 minutes inside Neyland Stadium. The Gamecocks scored 52 points, including seven touchdowns, the previous week at Arkansas. At Tennessee, the offense was held to its fewest points this season — by a touchdown.
"We didn't play very well offensively at all," Spurrier said. "Twenty-one points is all we could get. We had eight punts, which is the most we've had in a long time."
The lowlights go on.
There were dropped passes, missed blocks, penalties and turnovers. Senior quarterback Connor Shaw threw his first interception of the season, snapping a career-long streak of 177 passes without a turnover. Shaw had 96 rushing yards, but only 161 passing yards. Almost half his passing yards came on one play, a 76-yard touchdown to Damiere Byrd in the second quarter.
The Gamecocks also lost a fumble. It came one play after sophomore running back Mike Davis had a 45-yard run to put them in Tennessee territory for the first time. Now, USC is 12th in the SEC in turnover margin, with two fewer takeaways than turnovers this season.
"I feel like South Carolina was just handing things to us that we wanted, and the mistakes they made, we took advantage of them," Tennessee cornerback Justin Coleman said.
Tennessee sacked Shaw four times, the last coming from behind in the fourth quarter on a play that knocked him out of the game — and likely this week's trip to Missouri — with a sprained knee. Spurrier admitted his offense missed starting guard Ronald Patrick, who was unable to play because of a sprained ankle. Patrick's status this week is unknown.
But Spurrier thought something more may have led to his offense's collapse.
"Maybe we had too much press," said Spurrier, reverse pivoting after telling the media last week his offense — especially Shaw — didn't get enough attention. "We thought we were too good, maybe. I don't know. I thought Tennessee played strong up front. I thought their d-line played well, and their linebackers. We did pop a few, and of course Connor had that one long run, but we didn't have many passing yards, that's for sure."
USC doesn't have time to dwell on its missed opportunities, not with a trip to Missouri this weekend. During the preseason, the Tigers were picked to finish sixth in the SEC East. On Sunday, they were ranked fifth in the season's first BCS standings.
Missouri is allowing 22.1 points per game, fourth fewest in the SEC. That's not an ideal opponent to help rebound after having the worst offensive showing of the season.
"According to the media experts, ESPN and all those guys, nobody saw this team coming from where they are now," Spurrier said. "They weren't picked to do much that I know of by hardly anyone, but they have got an excellent team — offense, defense, special teams, the whole bit. They haven't been winning by any fluky means.
"So, we'll have our work cut out for us, going out there. The first time, I guess, most all of us have ever been to the university of Missouri. So it will be a new experience, but we'll look forward to it and see if we can't play a lot better than we did last week."

Other sources maintain that Scientology is not an issue in the split. Tom Cruise, who has not yet answered Holmes's divorce filing, is a longtime Scientologist and advocate for the sometimes-controversial church, and his older children, Bella, 19, and Connor, 17, were raised in Scientology.
So what is life like for a child being raised in the church – and what would be next for Suri if Scientology stays part of her life?
The influence starts early: Scientologists encourage a pregnant woman to have a "quiet birth" to prevent unwanted emotions and irrational fears from being recorded in a child's subconscious mind. Cruise told GQ in 2006, "It's really about respecting the woman. You want to keep things as calm as possible."
While breast-feeding is fine, church founder L. Ron Hubbard personally developed a recipe consisting of barley water, milk and corn syrup that he recommended for infants. Hubbard recommended it as "a healthy, natural alternative to store-bought 'formulas,' " says Scientology spokesperson Karin Pouw.
After birth, the parents hold a naming ceremony for the child. The infant is welcomed by the congregation, and their parents and godparents pledge to care for the child and allow them to choose their own path in life.
Older ChildrenAs children grow up, they're encouraged to make decisions for themselves.
"Everything needs to be positive and open so a child can experiment and go away from learning situations with positive thoughts and ambitions," says a Florida church member who has studied with Cruise, adding, "Children should never be held back or discouraged from following their bliss. Parents should not get in the way of what a child wants to do."
In fact, one Scientology handbook states, "Children are not dogs. The sweetness and love of a child is preserved only so long as he can exert his own self-determinism." And in his 1950 book Dianetics, Hubbard wrote, "A child needs all the love and affection it can possibly get."
But Scientology spokesperson Pouw disputes the notion that parents are advised never to tell children "no."
"It's not true that a child can do anything he or she wants to do. Parents who are Scientologists most certainly instruct their children in things they may or may not do and could certainly say 'no.'"
Parents are also encouraged to react calmly when a child is injured. As actress Leah Remini, Cruise's friend and a fellow Scientologist has told PEOPLE, "We just give them a second and try not to gasp. You console them, but you don't do the initial 'Aaah!' They might not react as much if your reaction isn't as big. It's about letting them be self-determined but in a safe environment."

Confessional AuditingOlder kids start undergoing "confessional auditing," or "sec checks," a central part of Scientology in which followers answer questions while hooked up to "e-meters" that register lie-detecting impulses milling around the body. According to a recent series of articles in the Village Voice and Paulette Cooper, author of a critical book called The Scandal of Scientology, children can begin the "sec checks" around Suri's age, answering questions such as "Have you done anything you are ashamed of?"
But Scientology disputes that kids as young as Suri normally undergo auditing. "It is not true that it is a standard practice that children of Scientologists begin 'sec checks' at the age of 6," Pouw says.
Pouw says she is unaware of a child as young as 6 going through the process, though she says it wouldn't be "abnormal," comparing it to confessions in the Catholic church that begin at a young age.
"With respect to children, Mr. Hubbard gave the ages of 12 to 15 as those most suitable to begin auditing," she says.
As for rumors that Holmes is concerned Cruise would enlist Suri in Scientology's military-like Sea Org, Gary S. Soter, an attorney for the church, calls them "preposterous and untrue. ... No person younger than age 16 is accepted in the Sea Organization. Further Church policy requires the consent of both parents and/or all legal guardians. There are no exceptions."

A few months back, I wrote an article called "A Buzz in the Garden," bringing attention to the plight of honeybees and the role native pollinators play in providing valuable pollination services to farmers and gardeners.
Using this article and other recent publications on bees as a point of reference, a group of talented Master Gardeners created a model pollinator garden at the 2013 Coastal Carolina Fair; the last day to visit that garden is today.
The demonstration garden includes many of the plants mentioned in that earlier article as well as many other features, but one in particular has caught everyone's attention, and that is the native bee nest boxes.
Approximately 1,200 North American native bee species nest in tunnels and cavities, and the most common types in the Lowcountry are leafcutter and mason bees.
Many gardeners have observed perfectly excised circles cut from leaves in their gardens, which is the work of one of several generations of leaf-cutting bees that use the circles to line their nests. These busy pollinators aren't particular about where they build, often constructing in unexpected places like ends of garden hoses.
Metallic blue mason bees are important pollinators for early spring gardens, emerging from their nests in January or February here in the South. By May, they have completed their lifecycle. They are such valuable pollinators that commercial fruit and nut producers place mason bee houses around orchards to facilitate pollination.
Unlike social honeybees, these solitary bees make their nests in close proximity to one another, yet separately in small cavities and tunnels found in hollow-stemmed plants and dead trees. Don't confuse these bees with carpenter bees, which damage wood; mason bees prefer dead wood and "pre-drilled" holes.
The female bees create small apartments within the tube-like holes, building walls between them with bee specific materials such as flower petals, leaves, or mud.
The mother bee lays one egg in each "apartment" or cell, the egg morphs from larvae to adult here so she leaves behind enough food, a mix of pollen and nectar, to feed her offspring until they emerge the following spring. After the exhausting work of building nests and laying eggs, the mother bee dies a few weeks later.
With so much to do in a short time, native bees often tire out in urban spaces seeking pollen and nectar to survive while also searching for places to lay eggs. Gardeners can create pollinator friendly features such as stem nest bundles and wooden nest blocks that provide critical habitats near their gardens.
Stem nest bundles
Provide a simple nest habitat by gathering several 6-8 inch long pieces of bamboo, elderberry, or other plants with hollow, pithy stems cut so that a node provides a closed tube.
Secure the bundle with wire or string or pack the stems into a coffee can or similar vessel, and place the stem bundles horizontal to the ground on a secure surface, protected from wind and rain.
Wooden nest boxes
According to the Xerces society, a conservation group dedicated to pollinators, "(wooden) bee blocks can be made by drilling nesting holes between 3/32 inches and 3/8 inches in diameter at approximate 3/4 inch centers, into the side of a block of preservative free lumber.
The holes should be smooth inside, and closed at one end. The height of the nest is not critical, 8 inches or more is good, but the depth of the holes is important. Holes less than 1/4 inch in diameter should be 3 to 4 inches deep, for holes 1/4 inch or larger, a 5 to 6-inch depth is best.
"Bee hotels" provide an overwintering habitat for other species such as ladybugs and wasps, both beneficial to the garden.
You can create a high occupancy "bee hotel" by combining several types of nesting material under one roof. These will require more sanitation and maintenance due to a higher population of bees in one place but are worth the trouble for gardeners with many fruits and vegetables in need of pollination.
Experts on native bee conservation with the Xerces Society say that nest blocks and bundles can attract and support native bees, but without regular sanitation, they can do more harm than good.
The unnaturally high bee populations found in these blocks can create unsanitary conditions leading to disease issues with negative impacts.
For more information on sanitation recommendations check out this factsheet: http://bit.ly/bCN5ZA.

Making a native bee nest bundle will be just one of the programs at the second annual Garden Gathering at Cypress Gardens on Saturday.

LISBON - A renewed feature of the Columbiana County Fair this year will be the High School Strongman Competition.
"We invited local high school football teams in the area to compete against each other," said Tresa Unkefer, secretary of the fair board.
Paul Lease, a director of the fair board, said he had come up with the idea a few years ago, and they were able to do it in 2006 and 2007 but had to stop because of the timing. He said the local football teams couldn't come due to scheduling conflicts with the playoffs, but this year, the timing happened to fall between sessions.
"The kids and coaches really enjoyed it," Lease said. "I'm glad we could get it back."
The competition includes the sandbag relay, where players carry sandbags 200 feet as quickly as they can and stack them up and get points based on which teams do the best.
Another competition is the heavy sandbag event, where five players from each team will carry a 125-pound bag the length of the track, which is 200 feet long, and back as long as they can and when they can't do it anymore, the next player takes over. Whichever team lasts the longest will win.
A third competition for the Strongman is the tug-of-war which leads to another competition where the tug-of-war rope is tied to a tractor and 10 players pull it. Whichever team pulls it the quickest will win.
Whatever team has the most wins by the end will win a traveling trophy - the trophy will be continuously passed on from year to year with the winners' names added on to the plaque each year.
The last year it was held, Beaver Local won and will have to bring the trophy back so it's up for grabs.
"We invited all the local football teams in the county," Lease said. "We have at least five committed now."
The Strongman Competition will be 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 1 and is a free Grandstand event.
"The fans really like it and everybody has a really good time." Lease said. "It's a fun-filled event."

A tornado touched down briefly over runways at Denver International Airport on Tuesday afternoon, The Associated Press reported.
The wire service reported that thousands in the airport were forced to shelter in bathrooms and stairwells until a tornado warning passed.
There were no immediate reports of damage, the AP said.
NWS meteorologist Kyle Fredin told the AP that a 97 mph gust was measured at the airport during the storm.
Some flights headed to Denver had to be diverted to other airports, the wire service reported.

Craig M. Kilgore, CMPE, has been selected as Chief Executive Officer of Charleston Ear, Nose and Throat Associates, the largest independent otolaryngology and audiology group in South Carolina. He will lead operations and strategic development for the rapidly expanding medical practice which enters 2013 with 13 board-certified physicians, nine audiologists and more than 120 employees in 10 locations throughout the Lowcountry.
Kilgore is a Certified Medical Practice Executive and cum laude graduate in Business from East Tennessee State University. He brings 20 years of senior executive experience in finance, administration, IT and strategic planning, most recently as president of Foundation Health Partners, Kingsport, TN, and previously as Chief Administrative Officer for Holston Medical Group, a multi-specialty physicians practice which grew to over 150 physicians during his leadership.
In December, Charleston ENT will open its ninth patient center next to the Roper /St. Francis campus on Henry Tecklenburg Blvd. in West Ashley. Kilgore said the former Savage Road location, which houses Charleston Surgery Center, is being converted and expanded to an all-ambulatory surgery center. When completed next year, it will host four nationally-accredited surgery suites, plus pre-and post-operative patient care facilities.

Who do you think will take gold at the GPF in the pairs division?
Who do you think will take gold at the GPF in the pairs division?
It can't be any other pair than Volozozhar/Trankov. Their only real challengers aren't here. However, if they have an off day (which I do not hope, I always enjoy it when couples can show a top performance whichever country they represent) and Pang and Tong have a good day, it is of course theoretically possible they will be beaten. But I don't expect that to happen, and certainly don't hope for it as far as Volozhar/Trankov are concerned - although Pang and tong having a good day would of course be wonderful.
Christine, Welcome to Golden Skate! Post long & often.
I voted for V/T but I really would like K/S to skate their very best and win. They have my favourite programmes this year.
Better to ask who will take silver. That's the interesting poll for pairs.
Who's the No. 2 Pair?
It's set up so the choices are Duhamel & Radford, Pang & Tong, and Kavaguti & Smirnov. Oddly, most people are picking the Canadians or Chinese, even though I think K&S have great programs this year and an excellent chance at the silver.
I'd love for one of these teams to actually win and upset V&T. Don't think it's gonna happen though.
I think - and voted - V/T, though I'd prefer P/T or K/S. I hope they all do well, though, and hope for the best, cleanest skates possible.
Other than V/T any pair can be No.2, except possibly MT/M.
To me the pairs' field is pretty weak, except for V/T and S/S.
P/T - they used to belong up there with S/S etc I thought but they seem to have this timing issue regarding ending their career. I still love them, though and their choice of music for LP.
D/R - sorry to say this but to me they are a good example of triumph of sport over art.
B/L - not sure why they are now leading the second tier of pairs.
K/S - not sure why, now that they are more like a true pair and beautiful to watch, they are going downhill in terms of ranking.
Pointless question, really. Because, unless something disasterous happens, we all know who is going to win!
There again, something disasterous did happen with Alyona and Robin...
As for who will join Tatiana and Maxim on the podium, I quite fancy Vera and Yuri to surprise us and get the silver. It should be them, Yuko and Alexander, and Meagan and Eric fighting over the remaining podium positions anyway (not sure which will be the unlucky pair to miss out on the podium, though).
You know, I am really amazed that CBC did not include Bazarova and Larionov in the options in their vote. They have a great chance of getting silver!

Speaking of diasters, Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov's skate was rather a distaster and they still won!! So I guess FS judging has not really changed that much. Look out for the Sochi Olympics!

Social service agencies in the Buffalo region have been working for years to find homes for would-be foster children. Having the help of the area's largest "mega-churches" should only help their cause.
To commemorate World Orphan Sunday, two area congregations Sunday announced new partnerships with social service agencies that aim to provide foster children with new homes, supportive families and a religious upbringing.
Eastern Hills Wesleyan Church and the Wesleyan Church of Hamburg have joined a new adoption ministry started by The Chapel at CrossPoint, the Amherst parish that draws up to 2,000 people to its sprawling complex each week.
Leaders say the Every Child foster care, adoption and orphan care ministry is a natural extension of their faith and the Bible's teaching to care for the defenseless. Parish officials unveiled the plan as a way to serve the more than 1,000 children in Erie and Niagara counties who have no home. The Chapel has worked with Gateway-Longview, a child and family service organization, and the Niagara County Department of Social Services on the effort.
"Our goal is to empty the foster care system in Western New York," said Steve Poissant, volunteer coordinator of the CrossPoint ministry.
Announced in June, the program has already made an impact at The Chapel, where nearly 30 families have started the process to become state certified foster parents. Another 400 parishioners have volunteered to provide transportation, child care, meals, money and clothing for the children.
The ministry has a personal meaning for Poissant, who with his wife has adopted five children between the ages of 5 and 9.
"They're awesome," he said of his children. "They're so diverse – there's the shy one, there's the outspoken one. It makes us feel like any other family, it's just that these kids come into the family by different means."
Poissant spoke Sunday before a congregation that filled most of the theater seats in the auditorium, preceding a musical act that had many members swaying to the music. The final verses of the song were sung by two young girls who were recently adopted by members of the parish, and leaders played a video featuring new foster parents.
"Some of these children were found living in cars, so literally this is a rescue operation for little children that are not able to take care of themselves," parishioner Ed Kim said in the video.
"It's very, very hard, but it's brought so much joy, just watching the stories of redemption, of people's lives changing, children's lives changing, our lives changing," said his wife, Mickie Kim.

Third-grader McCartney Roister promised to show off a trick or two during a recent PE class at Oakland Elementary School in West Ashley.
Did you know?
A Belgian inventor introduced the first recorded roller skate in 1760.
The first patent on a roller skate was in 1819 for an inline skate.
Seventy-three percent of those who skate indoors are between the ages of 5 and 15.
Roller-skating centers host 41 million visits per year from kindergartners through seventh-graders.
About 564,000 birthday parties nationwide are hosted at skating centers annually.
The most popular survey answer on why people go skating was, "It is fun."
Most skating center facilities range from under 14,000 square feet to more than 21,000 square feet.
Roller Skating Association International
His special skill? Doing the sprinkler dance move while staying upright on roller skates.
"I did fall down last week, so I might today," he said minutes before demonstrating his talent.
Kids love to roller-skate, but that's not a sport schools often teach. Oakland Elementary appears to be one of few local schools that is teaching kids how to roller-skate, and it's doing so in a relatively cost-effective, time-efficient way.
Physical education teacher April Blanton found a company that loans skates to schools for $10 per student, and she taught roller skating to third- through fifth-graders for the first time this fall.
"It was awesome," said Blanton, 32. "Our generation grew up skating. When we were growing up, that's what you did. Over the years, it doesn't seem to be as popular anymore. I looked at it as a neat opportunity to teach some of the children who might not have skated, or even the ones who had but don't get to go to the rink often."
Skating soared in popularity in the 1970s. Rinks got better floors, wheels had smoother rolls, and the addition of disco music and lights made skating as popular as bell-bottom jeans and Pet Rocks.
Skating saw another resurgence in popularity during the 1990s, except in-line skates were all the rage.
The Lowcountry used to have at least six skating rinks, but it's down to three: Hot Wheels on James Island, Music In Motion in Summerville and Stardust Skate Center in North Charleston.
Terri Halter manages Hot Wheels; her mother owns the business. She said their skater numbers haven't fluctuated much during the past 15 years, and most of those who skate do so with friends or family.
"It's not the athleticism," she said. "It's the social aspect of it. Friday night is a social environment."
Schools used to take field trips to the skating rink, but that doesn't happen much anymore, Halter said. One private school, Mason Preparatory School, does a skating lesson at Hot Wheels, and another school brings students there for its science lesson on motion.
"It's a risk factor schools don't want to take," Halter said.
For Oakland Elementary's skating unit, Blanton said the district's risk-management office required her third- through fifth-graders to wear helmets, which she also thought was a good idea. None of the injuries during her class were serious.
Not all of Blanton's students are meant to be athletes, so she teaches them a variety of lifetime activities that anyone can do. Roller skating fits into that category, she said. "It would just give them an opportunity to try something new and different," Blanton said.
At a conference she learned about a company that handled roller skate rentals, and her school PTA helped offset some of the cost for the 235 kids' skates.
The school treated it as an in-school field trip, so parents were asked to pay $7 for the unit that lasted five weeks. Oakland Elementary is the first school in South Carolina that the company has served, Blanton said.
On Tuesday, some fourth-graders ran through the door of the PE room, took off their shoes and waited for Blanton to give the go-ahead to put on their skates. Blanton told the class that this was their final week of skating, and they responded with a chorus of disappointed "awws."
Their spirits rebounded quickly (a multitude of "Yes!!") when Blanton said they would have more time to free skate and play games.
As students strapped on their helmets, wrist guards and skates, Blanton said, "This has been the hardest part of the skating unit." She moved around the room helping students lace their skate boots.
A few minutes later students were ready to roll, and the class kicked off with Aretha Franklin's "Respect." With music pumping through its speakers, the school's multipurpose room instantly transformed into an honest-to-goodness skating rink. Students cheered and wiggled their arms and hips as they slid across the floor.
Blanton had asked her Facebook friends for their favorite skating-rink songs, and she used their suggestions to build the class playlist. It included some classic rink tunes such as "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, "Whoomp There It Is" by Tag Team, and "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice.
Fourth-grader Frederick Fortner was among those feeling the rhythm while making circles around the room. He said he didn't own a pair of skates but wanted some. "You can express your feelings on wheels," he said. "This is like some kids' dream come true."
Fourth-grader Jasier Clarke was excited when he found out his class would be skating. He said it's fun to roll around and to "see people fall." His skating has improved since the class started, and he said he even was learning how to skate backward.
McCartney, the third-grader doing tricks, said he doesn't live close to a skating rink, but he likes to go, and his dad sometimes skates with him. He has a pair of in-line skates, and he planned to practice more on roller skates before using those.
He didn't take a break during the entire 45-minute class period.
He left the room with sweat, and a smile, on his face.

Fulltext TSBs
Technical Service Bulletins
|Publication Date: December 5, 2008
|2006-2008 Mark LT
This article supersedes TSB 07-24-5 to update the Service Procedure.
Some 2004-2008 F-150 and 2006-2008 Mark LT (Excluding Heritage) vehicles may encounter a concern of the windshield cowl panel not being fully seated, popped up or giving the appearance of being warped.
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
- Attempt to seat the cowl panel by gently applying pressure, first downward, then rearward to the inboard rear area of the cowl panel, forward of the windshield to determine if it will engage the sheet metal flange below. (Figure 1)
Figure 1 – Article 08-25-5
- Pull test will confirm if the hooks are engaged and that the sheet metal flange has not been bent too far forward. From the driver's side of the vehicle, with your left hand place your thumb on the fender top, then place your fingers into the cowl's lower portion for the wiper arm and pull lateral on the cowl panel. Panel will pop up at center when pulled outboard if the hooks are not properly engaged to the flange. (Figure 2)
Figure 2 – Article 08-25-5
Cowl Panel Cannot Be Seated – Continued
- Remove the cowl panel(s). Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-02 for removal instructions.
- Confirm engagement and proper installation of cowl grill. The cowl design makes use of long J-hooks (Figure 2, view A) on the bottom side of the cowl panel to engage a sheet metal flange below the cowl panel surface area. On vehicles built prior to August 2006, you will need to visually confirm that the J-hooks on the right hand (RH) parts are engaged to the sheet metal flange. The left hand (LH) part will need to be removed to observe this. Vehicles built after August 2006 have a raised feature forward of the screw attachment support tower on the RH part (near the center line of the vehicle), which is to ensure that the cowl panel is not built forward and is in the correct position for the J-hooks to engage the sheet metal flange. Check if the LH cowl panel is installed correctly, you can either tug the part forward or outward (towards the fender). Each move should cause the rear of the part or the split joint between the RH and LH cowl grills to pop up if the J-hooks were not engaged. Relying on an audible confirmation of engagement could cause a false-positive assessment of the parts being installed and retaining correctly and should not be used as the final indicator of correct installation.
- If the RH part does not have the split joint hook engaged to the sheet metal flange it must be set properly before the LH part can be corrected. Remove LH cowl grill and set aside. Loosen screw on RH cowl grill. Push down and rearward over the hook to engage the sheet metal flange. While holding part rearward, re-tighten the screw.
- If it is found that the LH parts cannot be installed correctly (the rear edge or split joint pops up after panel is shifted), remove the LH cowl panel (driver side) and place it out of the way. The flange to which the J-hook engages needs to be adjusted slightly upward 3/32″ (2 mm) in two areas using a pair of wide bill pliers (Figure 1, view B). Then install the cowl panel and retest by trying to shift either forward or outward. An audible click confirmation of hook engagement could cause a false positive assessment of the parts being installed correctly and should not be used as the final indicator of correct installation. Using the pull test, from the driver's side of the vehicle, with your left hand place your thumb on the fender top, then place your fingers into the cowl's lower portion for the wiper arm and pull lateral on the cowl panel. Panel will pop up at center when pulled outboard if the hooks are not properly engaged to the flange. This will confirm the flange has not been bent too far forward. If the rear edge and split joint stays down and the margin on the inboard edge to the LH part is consistent, then complete installation of the LH cowl has been achieved. (Figure 3)
Figure 3 – Article 08-25-5
Eligible Under Provisions Of New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage
IMPORTANT: Warranty coverage limits/policies are not altered by a TSB. Warranty coverage limits are determined by the identified causal part.
|2004-2008 F-150, 2006-2008 Mark LT: Attempt To Seat Cowl Panel, Includes Time To Adjust Flange If Necessary (Do Not Use With 17508A, 17526A, 17528A)

Matt Schaub threw a pair of touchdown passes and Arian Foster scored a rushing touchdown for the 10th straight game as host Houston held off stubborn Buffalo.
The Texans (7-1) had the only touchdown of the first half as Schaub worked the play-action to perfection, finding tight end Owen Daniels all alone for a 39-yard score. The Bills (3-5) cut the deficit to 7-6 late in the first half on a pair of Rian Lindell field goals.
Foster capped a five-play drive to start the second half with a 3-yard run to give AFC-leading Houston a 14-6 lead. Foster finished with 111 yards on 24 carries.
Buffalo surprisingly kept things close and cut the lead to 14-9 on Lindell's third field goal. But Schaub responded with his second touchdown pass of the day, a 5-yarder to Garrett Graham, to put the Texans in control 21-9 with 11:25 left to play.
Schaub finished the day 19-for-27 for 268 yards. Andre Johnson led all receivers with eight catches for 118 yards, the 40th time in his career he's eclipsed the 100-yard mark.
Game notebook: Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick was 25-for-38 for 239 yards but he lost a fumble in Houston territory in the fourth quarter, ending any Buffalo comeback hopes. ...Bills' DE Mario Williams had one sack in his return to Houston. Williams, who signed a $100 million deal with Buffalo in the offseason, had wrist surgery a week ago. ... J.J. Watt had a sack for Houston, increasing his season total to 10.5.

Comments Thread For: Brook: There is No Way That I'm Losing To Alexander
KELL BROOK is aiming to turn a dream into reality when he challenges for the IBF world welterweight title next month.
Sheffields Brook will lock horns with champ Devon Alexander in Detroit on February 23 and says he is in the best shape of his life.
And that, he believes, will help him fulfil a dream he has had since he first walked into the famous Wincobank Gym of Brendan Ingle when he was boy. [Click Here To Read More]

Seriously though, I agree. Kell has earned this fight but I think the lack of experience at world level will tell in this fight and Kell will lose on points but learn alot in the process. I think Kell is heavy handed and that will help him but Alexander is a level or two above him in experience and discipline and that should win him the fight on points.
I have so much respect for the way Alexander handled Maidana, watching that fight was for me like a matador vs a bull. He showed bravery and skills to contain a very live and dangerous albeit crude opponent that night. I think it was his best performance and he showed he has the ability and mentality of a champion, I've never seen Kell do that, where he's dominant but always in danger.
Kell knows what its like not have it all your own way from the Carson Jones fight, but that was after building an early lead and he just needed to survive to get the W. This time however I don't think he will have his way from the start and although I see him finishing the fight on his feet, by the time he figures out what to do it will be too late. He should be coming in to the fight in great shape, but ring smarts and tenacity will probably see Alexander to a clear and well earned victory. I don't see Kell being a pushover and that's good for Alexander, good for Kell and good for us so it should be good to watch and I look forward to it.
This is boxing though and anything can happen but my money is on Alexander.

After watching both fighters over the years I don't see how Alexander wins if he fights the way he has recently. I really like Brook. I think his power is a lil overrated but he does have the speed to match or surpass Devon and he does have a good chin. Devon showed he has mental weakness when things get tough when Bradley was roughing him up and Kell showed a lot of grit and heart when Jones was roughing him up. I honestly haven't seen Alexander look really good since he fought Urango. The Maidana fight was better than his last fight but that is it. He has tools and a decent skill set but I just don't see the fire that it takes to be a next level fighter.

it's not in St Louis, so Brook's got this
Alexander the twat has been thoroughly exposed
he's fast, but that's pretty much it
Bradley ran him outta the damn ring
Kotelnik walked him down and bested him both leading and countering
Lucas beat the hell out of him to the body and the head
Brook's not as good as these guys, but he can outpoint the twat
the twat has no defense, and he sucks under pressure
long as Brook is the aggressor all the way he'll get a UD

Looks to me this will be a great fight. Some of you are seriously underestimating Alexanders abilities, which are actually "elite". Sometimes his style is ugly to me, but I won't let my dislike for his style blind me to the fact he is one of the best. I think Kell is really ready to step up, but I don't see him beating Devon.

Alexander is going to have a coming out party against Brook. This will be the first fight since Bradley that he won't have to worry about legitimate one punch knock out power. Alexander has had time to get used to the weight and is as hungry for an exciting win. Brook will find himself at the wrong place and the wrong time. He will take the beat down that Maidana got times 10. Never seen a thread so one sided and so wrong. The crazy thing is that, if Alexander is so bad, why is he never the underdog. Bloggers don't know, but boxers know. Every opponent from Urango up to and including Brook can be quoted saying Alexander will be their toughest opponent ever. Everyone on this post will be quiet as a church mouse or full of excuses after Alexander beats Brook down and finishes him!
Alexander by KO in 10.

Along with a pat on the butt, Buffalo babies born in 2013 will get a spanking new Sabres blanket.
The hockey team and Kaleida Health have teamed up for the "Sabres Newborn Baby Program." All children born in Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital and Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo this year will receive a Sabres-themed blanket and a certificate from team owner Terry Pegula.
"Fandom in Buffalo is something that runs much deeper than in most other places," said Sabres President Ted Black, who will visit Millard Fillmore this afternoon to kick off the program. "Even from birth, people here know that hockey and the Sabres are a part of life. This program is a way for us to welcome the newest members of our community and hopefully plant the seed of passion that will grow into a lifetime of embracing the game that we all love so deeply here in Buffalo."
The gold, hooded baby blankets are emblazoned with the Sabres' logo and "We Live Hockey" on the back. They also have "'13" to signify the year and Kaleida Health's "Buffalo Baby" logo.
In addition to the blanket, each baby will receive a "Future First-Round Pick" certificate. The certificates feature the Sabres and Kaleida Health logos, space to fill out the baby's birth information and Pegula's signature.
"Over 6,000 babies will be born at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital and the Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo in 2013," said James R. Kaskie, president and CEO of Kaleida Health. "This is a great way to welcome each and every one of them to our team."

Three days of raids completed earlier this week often brought city residents out of their homes to express thanks to narcotics detectives and area SWAT teams who shut down numerous drug houses throughout Buffalo.
"People came out and thanked the officers," Buffalo Chief of Detectives Dennis J. Richards said Thursday during a news conference with Mayor Byron W. Brown and Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda.
In total, 63 drug dealers were arrested, eight guns removed, and hundreds of bags of heroin, cocaine and marijuana, plus several thousand dollars, confiscated during the non-stop raids that concluded Monday with 103 search warrants executed.
Brown said he wanted the citizens to know that their tips on criminal activity are taken seriously.
"This is the fourth crackdown on guns, drugs and quality-of-life issues this year. We followed up on complaint calls to 911 and 311, the confidential tipline, the department website and tips given personally to the police commissioner and myself," Brown said.
"Some of the houses were very low level, selling marijuana, while other houses were tied to violent gang activity," Derenda said. "We hit the whole gamut.
Some of the homes hit in the raids were situated on Seneca, Gibson, Niagara, and Hoyt streets; South Park, Woodlawn, Prospect, West Delavan, West, Nevada, and Manhattan avenues; Bennett Village Terrace and Military Road.
And while no major drug dealers or drug rings were busted, Richards said the impact of the raids will improve the safety of neighborhoods.
Additional arrests are expected in the coming days, Richards said.
Assisting the Buffalo narcotics unit were SWAT teams from the city, Amherst, Hamburg, Lancaster, Niagara County, Town of Tonawanda and state police. U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents, Erie County Sheriff's personnel and the city's K-9 Unit also participated in the raids, along with patrol officers from the city's police districts.
It was dubbed Operation Power Sweep. Funds to help pay for the expenses associated with the raids were provided by the state's Division of Criminal Justice Services' Operation Impact.
Anyone with information on criminal activity can call or text the department's confidential TIP-CALL line at 847-2255 or contact "Report a Tip" on the department's website, www.bpdny.org.

Turner named MBB assistant coach
Related Links
"Cameron has proven to be hard worker, and he has a good mind for the game," said Osborne. "We are very pleased any time we can promote quality from within, which is certainly the case with him."
During his first season with UAA in 2011-12, Turner served as the graduate assistant coach for a Seawolf squad that went 23-7 and advanced to the NCAA Div. II Tournament 2nd Round.
"I'd like to thank Coach Osborne for this opportunity," said Turner, who hails from Lake Oswego, Ore. "It has been a lifelong dream of mine to coach NCAA basketball, and I'm proud to do so at a program with UAA's rich tradition."
Turner came north after a successful 6-year run coaching the Willamette Reign AAU program in his home state. A 2004 graduate of Southern Oregon University, Turner is currently pursuing his masters degree in human services at UAA.
Turner replaces Ryan Orton, who was recently named head coach at Western Wyoming Community College.

recently received a lot of press for the
X-37B, a spacecraft it designed for NASA that has been passed off
to the U.S. Air Force and further refined into a fully operational
vehicle. It turns out that was certainly not the only
spacecraft the company is cooking up.Under a $18M USD
contract with NASA Boeing is
building a capsule craft called the Crew Space
Transportation (CST)-100. The craft can hold up to seven crew
members. It simplifies matters by reusing existing components
and architecture from past capsule designs -- meaning that NASA will
likely save on repair costs.Size wise, the craft is bigger
than an Apollo program capsule, but smaller than the planned Orion
spacecraft which is NASA's official shuttle replacement. It can
launch aboard a variety of rockets, including the Atlas, Falcon, and
Delta designs.The plan will be to use the craft to ferry
passengers and supplies to and from the International
Space Station. The craft will also likely service future
upcoming commercial space stations, including those of Bigelow
Aerospace Orbital Space Complex. Bigelow is designing
high-strength inflatable
space stations which it plans to use in a commercial space
hotel venture.Competition in the field is tight, so Boeing
has its work cut out for it. In February, NASA gave $50M USD to
Blue Origin, Boeing, Paragon Space Development Corporation, Sierra
Nevada Corporation and United Launch Alliance to develop craft that
could ferry passengers or freight to the ISS. And while they
have not officially tossed their hats in the ring, Virgin
Galactic, makers of the space tourism craft SpaceShip One, and
SpaceX, makers of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle both could design
passenger craft to service the station at some point.Ultimately,
Boeing seems to be going for the right approach -- mixing
affordability with an adequate design and flexibility. How the
design works out, though, remains to be seen. Ultimately the
results will prove a part of the critical test of whether President
Obama's plans to denationalize
the U.S space industry are feasible.

Curitiba is small enough to be able to walk to most places within the city centre. For exploring outlying areas, there's an extremely efficient municipal bus network that's considered the envy of all other Brazilian cities. In the city centre, the two main bus terminals are at Praça Tiradentes and Praça Rui Barbosa, from where buses (R$1.80) head out into the suburbs as well as to neighbouring municípios. Taxis are easy to come by and, as distances are generally small, they're not too expensive.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - They drink, they smoke, they gamble, they laugh, they have one merry hell of a good time. These are the Chinese who visit Nevada. Of course, this is a snapshot. I'm not condoning drinking, smoking and gambling, but if you are going to do these things, there's no better place to do them than Nevada.You know why the Chinese tend to smoke their skulls off? The answer is simple. China joined the World Health Organization almost seven years ago, and watched as cigarette sales soared. This dichotomy is the result of one government agency in China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. They are in charge of both sales and control. Talk about the fox watching the henhouse! "Sir, you should know that smoking is really, really bad for your health. Can I offer you a light?"Government regulations and health hazards aside, these folks know how to put it all together for fun in the short run. As an example, a group of Chinese visitors boarded the M.S. Dixie last summer for the "Great Sternwheeler Race" between the Dixie and the Tahoe Queen. Two gentlemen in this group were drinking champagne like it was Tahoe tap, all the while placing higher and higher bets on the race, causing many to look on with keen interest. These two gentlemen started dancing around like a couple of banty roosters, piling up renminbi on the table like they were planning to build a bonfire to warm their hands. They had captured the attention of the entire house when the canon sounded.Kaboom!The Queen started off slow as a turtle swimming in molasses, like she always does, because she is short the two screws the Dixie has under her hull. So the Dixie took a commanding lead, causing one of the Chinese gentlemen to laugh himself into an asthma attack. But when the Queen turned the corner like a crab and grabbed the lead from the Dixie, this same gentleman recovered from his asthma attack in time to go apoplectic, and shout at the top of his smoke damaged lungs, "Dwayboochi! Dwayboochi!" or some such thing. The other gentleman, meanwhile, took to shouting, "Qui! Qui!," or something to that effect. The gauntlet was down and you'd have thought these two gentlemen were betting their farms back home on who would win that sternwheeler race. It was one of the most intense scenes I've witnessed in 20 years of racing those boats on the Lake of the Sky.I tried to stay calm myself, but got caught up in the excitement of it all and started shouting, "Dwayboochi! Dwayboochi!," having no idea what it was I was saying, but not really caring either.When the Queen crossed the line ahead of us, one of the gentlemen gleefully swept the pile of currency off the table into a duffle bag while the other marched over to me. He smiled a toothy smile, which showed off a gold cap in the front, stuck his index finger into my chest, and chastised me for being on the crew of the slower vessel.The Chinese people love life and live life as fully as any culture I've seen out there on the lake in the summertime. I love those people.- Learn more about McAvoy Layne at www.ghostoftwain.com.

In order to avoid run-on sentences (phrases that run together with inadequate punctuation, sometimes called fused sentences), remember that
Every sentence must be followed by the correct terminal punctuation.
This rule may seem obvious, but it can be easy to violate. You can usually correct run-on sentences by breaking them into two or more separate sentences; however, other methods include inserting a comma and a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet), inserting a semicolon, or subordinating one clause to another. For the run-on sentence --
There is a blizzard I don't want to go to class.
--one could employ any of the following solutions:
1. There is a blizzard. I don't want to go to class.
[The two clauses are separated into two sentences.]
2. There is a blizzard, so I don't want to go to class.
[The two clauses are separated by a comma and the coordinating conjunction so.]
3. There is a blizzard; I don't want to go to class.
[The two clauses are separated by a semicolon.]
4. Because there is a blizzard, I don't want to go to class.
[Because subordinates the first clause to the second.

She'll bite your head off, but she will look fabulous doing it. Miranda Priestly (Glenn Close) is the textbook definition of an "icy" personality.
In "The Devil Wears Prada," she makes it quite clear that she will not perform any task that is below her overwhelming talent. Nor will she tolerate anyone who disagrees with her.
Encouragement, compliments, sensitivity and thanks will not cross her lips, but she is powerful enough that she can get away with it and still have people want to work for her.
She wants things done, and she wants them done yesterday. If she has to ask twice, people had better be ready to duck and cover.
The question is, will she ask her employees to come in on Sunday like our No. 1 bad movie boss?
No. 1: Bill Lumbergh from "Office Space"
The film "Office Space" is so easy for some people to relate to because it just feels like the typical workplace that so many individuals experience.
Bill Lumbergh (played by Gary Cole) is the textbook definition of a boss who garners absolutely zero respect from his employees. He has a front-row spot in the parking lot, his pay is probably substantial, and he doesn't appear to work terribly hard.
Most of his day is spent leisurely wandering about the office with a cup of coffee. When Lumbergh talks to employees, he displays a terribly boring personality and horrible listening skills.
To top it all off, he even steals precious red staplers every so often. What is the definition of bad boss? He (usually) is the person every employee tries to avoid at all costs.
Nobody fits that description quite like Lumbergh.
