Woman fights $16K credit report error
Here's an excellent reason to pull your 3 major credit reports every year.
If you're one of the growing number of people who plan to make financial resolutions for 2013 -- 46% will, says Fidelity Investments -- let one of them be to pull a copy of each of your three major credit reports.
Who knows what mistakes are lingering there, damaging your credit scores and your ability to get a decent interest rate on a credit card or loan.
Case in point: A Roseville, Calif., woman pulled a credit report and found it listed a 2007 court judgment for $16,159 owed on a Chase credit card, according to a story on CBS Sacramento, although she did not possess a Chase card. She suspected identity theft was involved.
Heather Rose told consumer reporter Kurtis Ming that she didn't get any help from Chase or from the two credit bureaus, Equifax and TransUnion, where she filed error disputes -- until she shared her story with the media.
"Those bureaus tell us they have no records of Rose filing disputes until after we got involved," Ming wrote.
Chase finally issued a letter clearing her of the debt, and the credit bureaus removed the error from her credit reports, the news report said.
Ming also notes that if the credit bureaus don't respond to a dispute, you can now contact the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. You can file an online complaint on the CFPB website on issues pertaining to credit reports, credit cards, other bank services, car and other consumer loans, student loans, mortgages and money transfers.
Of course, you won't know if there's an error on your credit report unless you take a look, and the CFPB says that only one in five consumers does every year (.pdf file). An error could cmoe from something as simple as a data entry typo, or from the result of an illegal act, such as a crook opening accounts in your name.
The New York Times' Bucks blog says only 16 million people get free credit reports through AnnualCreditReport.com, a website that exists specifically for that purpose. There, you're entitled to one free report every year from each of the three major bureaus. It's widely recommended that you pull a different report every four months.
"By comparison, 26 million people obtained their reports though various credit monitoring services, which generally require consumers to pay for access to the information," The Times said.
The Federal Trade Commission is expected to issue a major study on credit reporting accuracy in 2014.
Have you resolved to pull your free credit reports? If you've had a problem with accuracy, were you satisfied with the way the dispute was handled?
More from MSN Money:
The credit reporting agencies have taken control of our lives. We worry about our credit scores because they affect our ability to get a job, obtain insurance, and purchase homes, cars or whatever. Yet have you ever tried to dispute an error on your report?
We have become slaves to these agencies and what regulatory controls that exist are a joke. These agencies need to be held responsible for what they report.
"Heather Rose told consumer reporter Kurtis Ming that she didn't get any help from Chase or from the two credit bureaus, Equifax and TransUnion, where she filed error disputes -- until she shared her story with the media.'
"Those bureaus tell us they have no records of Rose filing disputes until after we got involved," Ming wrote."
The question is, "Does Heather Rose have a record of requesting help?" My suggest is anytime one makes a call to question this type of transaction they get the persons name, badge number and etc. then make a memo to file concerning what occurred. It is also good to follow up with a copy of the memo to the business with a return receipt requested letter.

Under-18s prepare to play Reading in the Elite Group opener.
Kevin Sheedy is challenging his scholars to prove they can mix it with the country's best during the second half of the season.
The Under-18s return to competitive action this Saturday, entertaining Reading at Finch Farm in their opening fixture of their Elite Group campaign.
A third place finish in National Group One at the end of 2012 was enough to see the young Blues qualify for the top tier in the second phase.
Along with the Royals, Sheedy's Under-18s will also play Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Manchester United, Reading and Southampton both home and away in a round-robin format - all teams that secured top-three berths in their respective leagues.
"We are going to be playing against the best teams and we want to match them," the former Republic of Ireland winger told evertontv.
"We had a warm-up game against Swindon last Saturday and we gave all the players a fair amount of time just to try and get them back up to speed.
"We start with our first home game on Saturday against Reading who topped our league [last year] and were the best team in it.
"It's a tough opening fixture but over the two matches we drew 0-0 and lost 1-0 in a game that could have gone either way. We are hoping for a change of fortune but we know it will be a difficult test."
The Under-18s were last in action a month ago when they beat Southampton 2-0 in the FA Youth Cup. Prior to that, their previous league outing - a 1-0 home victory against Norwich - was on December 1.
"From the academy point of view, I think we have had too much time off," Sheedy added when asked for his take on the academy winter break.
"We should mirror what the first team do because ultimately if these players are going to become professionals they have got to be used to playing over the festive period when there are a lot of games in a short period of time.
"They have got to get used to recovering from games so it's part of their education that we need to do better at.
After the month-long lay-off, the Under-18s are now thrust straight into a busy schedule.
This coming Tuesday evening they travel to Vale Park to play their FA Youth Cup fourth round tie, although Sheedy says that attention will be turned towards that game once three points have hopefully been earned against Reading.
He added: "We overcame a very difficult game against Southampton in our first tie and it will be equally as tough, if not tougher, against Port Vale.
"They went to Crystal Palace, who are a very good team and had also qualified for the elite group, and won 2-0 on their home patch. We have had them watched and again we are aware of their strengths and weaknesses.
"But first we are fully focusing on the game on Saturday because we want to get off to a winning start. We want to beat Reading and we will do our best to do that. Once that game is out of the way then we can concentrate on the next one."

"Obviously our thoughts and prayers go out to the Ripken family," Showalter said when he began his pre-game news conference Wednesday. "I had something similar happen with my mother years ago. Somebody broke into the house at night. So … it's tough. Crazy world."

Showalter has known the Ripken family for years — including Vi and her late husband, former Orioles manager Cal Ripken Sr. — and said, "I know the [resilient] stock, not only from [Cal Ripken] Senior, but from Vi."
In 2000, when Showalter was managing the Arizona Diamondbacks, his elderly mother was living alone in the house where he was raised in small-town Century, Fla., when someone broke in during the middle of the night.
The man told Showalter's mother not to turn on the bedroom light and he tied her up in a radio wire — she had been listening to a baseball game earlier that night — and burglarized the house, Showalter said.
"She found out later she knew the guy. She took him around, showed him where all the cash was," Showalter said. "She remembered where she had some other [money] hid, so she took him over there to make sure he got enough."
After the man left, Showalter said his mother untied herself and went to bed, not telling her family until the next day. The burglar was later identified, but was killed in a separate incident a few days later.
It was a tough time for the family, Showalter said. But he, of course, ended the tale with his understated wit, saying his mother's Dalmatian blew it while the house was being ransacked.
"That dog didn't stay around much longer," Showalter said. "Didn't do a very good job."

Two men are in jail for robbing a bank thanks to a tip from a witness and quick action by a Fort Bend County deputy.
Luis Hernandez, 28, and Oscar Duran, 20, are facing aggravated robbery charges. Yesterday, one of the men was seen walking into the Bank of America in the 9200 block of Highway 6 with a handgun and a towel covering his face. He demanded money and the tellers complied.
Deputy K. Barrett pulled up into the bank's parking lot and chased the suspect. He lost sight of him and returned to the bank.
A witness gave the deputies a description of the car and the license plate number. Deputies went to the address from the license plate number, went to the house, and arrested the two men.
Both are in the Fort Bend County Jail.

On Saturday, the P-Bruins went on the road up to face the Albany River Rats. The game got off to a slow start with no scoring coming until halfway through the second period by Albany. Providence then fell into a 2-0 hole early in the third period before the offensive picked up. Jeremey Reich scored a short-handed goal with an assist by Wacey Rabbit to shrink the difference. Albany quickly answered with another goal of its own making the score 3-1. However, with five minutes left in the game, Brad Marchand scored a power-play goal to make it 3-2. But then after pulling the goalie, Kevin Regan, Martins Karsums scored with less than a minute left in play. For there it didn't take long as only 39 seconds into overtime Vladimir Sobotka scored his third goal of the year on the power-play to give the Bruins the win 4-3. The game also showcased a record breaking number of road shots for the P-Bruins with 59.
Sunday saw the P-Bruins take on the Philadelphia Phantoms for the first time this season. In the game the only offense came from the Phantoms side as they scored a goal in the second and third periods. Phantoms goalie Scott Munroe was able to block all 46 shots faced and helped defeat the P-Bruins 2-0.
Through 12 games, Johnny Boychuk continues to lead the team in points with 15 (2g, 13a). Karsums ranks second on the team in scoring with 11 points (4g, 7a). Martin St. Pierre takes the third spot with nine points and Mikko Lehtonen is fourth with eight points. Brad Marchand and Matt Lashoff round out the top five on the team in scoring with seven points each. In net for the P-Bruins, Tuukka Rask is 5-4 with a 2.48 GAA and a .915 save percentage.
Ice Chips: The P-Bruins are second in the Atlantic Division with 15 points... Boychuk is tied for seventh in the AHL in scoring with 15 points and is tied for first in defensemen... The P-Bruins are tied for fifth best power play in the league converting 20.3% of the time, while the penalty kill unit is tied for third in the league killing 89.7% of the time... Wacey Rabbit leads the AHL in shorthanded goals with two.
Brad Marchand and Mikko Lehtonen will be appearing at the Cardboard Promotions Card Show at the Holiday Inn on 31 Hampshire St. in Mansfield, MA on Tuesday, November 11. The players will be available for photos and autographs from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Jeff LoVecchio, Mark Bomersback and the P-Bruins mascot Samboni will appear at the Shaws on 575 Taunton Ave. in East Providence on Thursday, November 13 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. P-Bruins players will be available to sign autographs and take pictures with fans.

Iowa Governor Terry Branstad wants to make Iowa the healthiest state in the nation by 2016. To do that, he's trying to turn towns into "Blue Zones". Places, experts say, folks will be healthier and happier.
After being selected as a "demonstration site" for the "Blue Zones Project" last month, Spencer is ready to start. The core belief of the initiative; give towns healthier amenities and you'll have healthier people.
"I think Spencer is a perfect candidate for showing what the future is going to look like through all of America," said Dan Burden, the executive director of The Walkable and Livable Communities Institute.
Burden is part of the project. He says it starts with an "audit" of Spencer, where officials work on a list of potential changes to the town; like more bike trails, or healthier food options. When it's finished, a committee of community members will pick and enact the suggestions they like.
One of the biggest changes Spencer could see is a make over of their main street, Grand Avenue. Officials want Grand to say so long to so much traffic. They want to quiet things down and bring in more pedestrians.
"This is the market street. Yes, you can still pass through town, but if you are going to come down our main street you'll probably be interested in stopping," said Burden.
City officials say ideas like that have them excited. They expect success after the project's 18 month runtime.
"Anytime you can change potentially change the culture, that doesn't come around very often. We're real excited about this," said Bob Fagen, Spencer city manager.
The Blue Zones Project is all based off books by author, and explorer, Dan Buettner.
He says the concept began when he was writing for National Geographic. Buettner visited communities around the globe where people live the longest, to find out why. He wrote an article about it, saying people's health and happiness are products of their environment.
Buettner later expanded the concept in his books and used the techniques in Albert Lea, Minnesota, three years ago. He says it's a perfect example of how well the initiative works.
"The culture has changed. They self identify as a healthy place. The lens with which they look at themselves, and the way they plan their city is; 'We are healthy'," said Buettner.
Buettner says as a side benefit of having a healthier community, Albert Lea's health care costs have been reduced too.

Needless to say we adore Sonos. Don't believe us, just check out our Sonos Play:3 review. However, one of the major drawbacks of the system was their Mac/PC desktop controller. By comparison to the iPhone and iPad apps it was a bit archaic looking and not all that user friendly.
Well, that's all about to change as Sonos today officially unveiled their all new Desktop Controller app for Macs and PCs. Checkout the above video, but the first thing you'll notice, provided you already own a Sonos, is that the new Desktop Controller now mimics the iPads interface. It's now sleeker, easier to use and so much more appealing to look at. However, there is one slight drawback: in order to use Sonos 3.7, you'll need Mac OS X 10.6 or higher and Windows XP Service Pack 3 or higher, including Vista and Windows 7.

Thought via Path
Had brutal week. Lost one of my best people because I'm stretched so thin that sometimes I miss the warning signs. Being CEO sucks…. You get 100 requests a month and can say yes to 5 or 10. Say no to the wrong requests and folks are demoralized to the point of giving up, say yes to too many and the company runs out of money or worse, is sent in 20 different directions.
After 20 years in doing this I realize its psychologically damaging stuff at times for founders. I know guys crying in the shower or grinding their teeth at night over their startups. I salute you quiet warriors with no one to talk to.
You cant show weakness to your team, investors or the media, because founders are supposed to be fearless. You don't want to dump it on your spouse, nor your founder friends.
If you're one of those folks suffering I'm available to talk any time. That's my role as an angel investor I believe: have the hard talks about failure.
Failure is the precursor to success. Eat your failure and make yourself stronger. – Read on Path.

"What we'll known actress is suing local college for discrimination?"
You may remember her from the film "Zoot Suit", you can watch her in the FX show "The Bridge", where you won't see her anymore, is teaching at Pomona College.
"It was like a punch to the stomach" says Alma Martinez, who has filed a lawsuit alleging wrongful termination as well as national origin and gender discrimination against the college, where she has worked as assistant professor of theatre, for years.
The school's own Department of theatre and Dance recommended she be promoted to associate professor with tenure, .according to the lawsuit, but she was denied tenure and fired. Her last day was June 30.
Mathew Barragan, the attorney with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, which is representing Martinez, says that no person of color, let alone a Latina woman, has been granted tenure at the Theatre School. He adds Dr Martinez (yes, she has a doctorate from Stanford) is more than qualified for the position.
Aside from the Stanford PHD, she holds and MFA from USC, is a Fullbright Scholar, has a diverse body of work, and is about to be indicted in the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
"Pomona college has one of the most diverse faculties, in terms of both gender and race" says Mark Wood, senior director of communications at Pomona. College. "The tenure review process is designed to be both exhaustive and fair. However, since this matter is now under litigation and involves private information about a former employee, we can not comment further.."
If you can't catch her teaching, Dr. Martinez is playing a really dark character on the FX show the Bridge. Put it this way, this is NOT her Sgt Elizabeth Cruz from Adam 12.

Tennessee Advance Medical Directives: How to Better Serve Your Clients' Needs - CD
Substantial improvements in Tennessee's advance medical directive laws were enacted in both 2004 and 2007. The most recent changes conformed the attestation requirements of the Right to Natural Death Act (living wills) to the Health Care Decisions Act (HCDA); added an option for "shifting" authority, analogous to the HCDA; and conformed the attestation requirements of the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care to the HCDA.
With baby boomers aging and the general population living longer, it is imperative that attorneys be up-to-date on these crucial end-of-life issues.
In addition to statutory changes, the Department of Health periodically updates its Advance Directive Forms, including its Advance Care Plan Form, Appointment of Health Care Agent Form, Appointment of Surrogate Form, and Physician Order for Scope of Treatment Form.
With changes both in the books and in the works, attorneys must be aware of all the complex issues surrounding advance medical directives, as well as related issues dealing with authorizing the treatment of minors and HIPAA privacy restrictions.
You'll also get up-to-date on advance medical directive forms, including those that have been approved for use by the Department of Health and how to modify standard forms to best suit your clients' needs.
In just one hour, you'll gain new insights and guidance on:
- Statutory advance directives available in Tennessee before July 1, 2004
- Tennessee Health Care Decisions Act (HCDA)
- Requirements
- Patient instructions
- Surrogates
- 2007 amendments
- Right to Natural Death Act
- Uniform Durable Power of Attorney Act

Sandra Steingraber: The Fossil Fuel Body Burden
Photo Credit: © Vadim Petrakov/ Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The following interview is from Earthjustice's Down to Earth audio program. You can listen to the show here.
This article was published in partnership with GlobalPossibilities.org.
Sandra Steingraber is an acclaimed ecologist and author of the new book, Raising Elijah, which takes a personal yet scientific look at the abundant human exposure to toxic chemicals. She believes that we can both reform toxics regulation and stop climate change by getting off of dirty fossil fuels.
Sandra spoke with Kari Birdseye, national press secretary at Earthjustice in November of 2012.
Kari Birdseye: Sandra Steingraber, welcome to Down to Earth . As a parent, I want to thank you for writing Raising Elijah.
Sandra Steingraber: Thanks for having me.
Kari: You've been called the new Rachel Carson and a poet with a knife. In 1962, Carson wrote Silent Spring, which has been credited for helping to spark the modern environmental movement with its warnings of the dangers of pesticides. Fifty years later, the dangers of toxic chemicals, and particularly their health effects on kids, is still an issue and one that you address in your book, Raising Elijah. Why are there dangerous chemicals still on the market? What is broken and how can we fix it?
Sandra: Well, of all of the transformational laws that came as a result of Silent Spring , mostly in the '70s—Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, all of this sort of great legislation around the environment—the weakest one of all is the one governing the production and use of toxic chemicals, so-called TSCA—the Toxic Substances Control Act. And from the beginning this law was really set up to fail. It was structured very badly in that it represented the government's first attempt to get a handle on the tens of thousands of toxic chemicals that had come on the market since World War II without any requirement for advanced testing for safety as a pre-condition for marketing.
And instead of doing the right thing, which would have been to say that the burden of proof for demonstration of safety belongs to industry and that as a pre-condition for introducing these things safety was a required result of careful testing, instead, the law gave a pass to this inventory of 65,000 chemicals already on the marketplace and then required some very low bars for testing any new chemicals. So you can see right away that is a disincentive to innovation in chemistry because it's always going to be easier for the industry to fall back on that inventory of 65,000 old chemicals for which they don't need to show anything at all. And at the same time, it blinds those of us in the scientific community from even being able to know what the effects are for people's exposures because we don't have basic toxicology data. And so really, it's this law—the Toxic Substances Control Act—that is at the heart of our broken chemical regulatory system and is placing children in harm's way.
So [there's a] disconnect between what we know in the scientific community about the effects of these chemicals, and some of them actually now are classified as developmental toxicants, meaning that they have the ability to alter pathways of development, having life-long consequences for health. All that new science keeps piling up, and yet there's nothing in the regulatory system that is required to respond to that, so that the difference between our law and what we know in science grows greater and greater.

Well, I don't know why I'm having issues with this, but I can't figure out why I can't get it to work.
I want to align the 50 g and Carbs to the center of the image. Am I going about this the wrong way? The "margin-left:95px;" shifts the text over, but the "margin-top:75px;" has no effect. Either way I'd like to align it to the center without using pixels. I want to do something like text-align:center; but I can't get that to work. I want it to do something like that since the text here will be changing (i.e. 50 ).

Hailed by critics and audiences alike, Flight is directed by renowned filmmaker Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Cast Away) and stars the incomparable Denzel Washington in a performance that "will be talked about for years" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) and has earned him Golden Globe, SAG and Critics' Choice award nominations. Written by John Gatins, the film tells the story of Whip Whitaker, a commercial airline pilot who miraculously lands a plummeting airplane during a breathtaking sequence described as "the hairiest, scariest, most realistic, and thrilling plane crash in movie history" (Richard Corliss, Time). But despite his heroics, Whip comes under investigation and begins what may be an even more harrowing personal descent. Flight also boasts an exceptional supporting cast including John Goodman, Don Cheadle, Kelly Reilly, Bruce Greenwood, Melissa Leo and Brian Geraghty.

The moment of the night and perhaps the season was Seth Meyers' last Weekend Update, which was both tear filled and cameo filled. Featuring Amy Poehler, Bill Hader (as Stefon!), Andy Samberg and Fred Armisen as former New York governor David Paterson, Meyers had a lot of support. His strongest joke was appropriately in the style of a late night monologue: Florida Representative Trey Radel, who was convicted of cocaine posession, announced this week that he will resign from Congress. Radel says he wants to spend more time with whoever is still awake. Meyers showed the heart behind all the comedy he's brought to SNL in over 12 seasons, getting choked up with fellow co-anchors Strong and Poehler, genuinely thanking everyone at Saturday Night Live. The way he says this is the job I've always wanted makes it hard not to tear up as well. Like many Weekend Updates prior, it was the best part of the show.

4 notes &
Coding a Heartbeat Part I
In the spirit of Halloween, I've decided to take an idea suggested on the savagecircuits forums and work on coding a heartbeat. This should combine both RCTime and photoresistors and include a whole bunch of new things like audio integration.
Goal: To code a heartbeat (audio/visual) that increases in rate and volume as you "get closer" and have it decrease in rate and volume as you "back away"
Step 1
So I've already figured out how to make the LEDs on a Propeller demo board blink as if a heartbeat (lub dub). And I realize this may not be the best way to code it but it works!:
Step 2
But now I have to incorporate using RCTime to read the photoresistor. I put the multimeter leads to it while blocking out light and having a bright light shining on it to see what its range would be:
Bright light shining: 200k ohms
Light blocked out: 400 ohms
So more resistance with more light, and less resistance with less light.
Now the coding portion is all sorts of…complicated and I don't fully understand it but it calls a few "side programs" into the main program to help things work: Chiefly RCTIME and Parallax Serial Terminal (PST). RCTime is essentially an ADC - converts the analog voltages from the photoresistor to digital values. And for you to actually see it in action, PST shows the values being sent to the propeller chip:
When you run this program - the original code I wrote for the blinkey LEDs doesn't show up, but you can at least see what the photoresistor is sending to the chip via the PST terminal (an exe file that's included with PropTools, the program used to program the propeller):

At last, the New Year starts off with the return of the National Hockey League.
The deal is done, and a 48-game sprint-type schedule is on.
I think this reduced season is still going to give fans what they want, and that is the best hockey players in the world in the best professional hockey league in the world. There will still be great excitement in this season with the usual awards earned.
At the end will be a legitimate Stanley Cup playoff. While the season is shorter, the post-season will be the same as it always is.
The only difference is that it will be late June by the time a champion is crowned.
So with the new agreement in place between the league and the players, let's hope this lockout scenario isn't repeated the next time negotiations take place.
I am very happy to have the NHL back on the ice, game on!

A pair of secret Santas made Thursday bright for some Walmart customers in Westfield.
A store employee working at the layaway counter said two people approached the counter and said they wanted to pay off some layaway purchases for complete strangers. She said their stipulation was the layaway had to be children's toys only.
Five tickets totaling nearly $1,000 were selected and paid in full.
Store manager Scott Ring said he began making phone calls to tell the customers they could come pick up their layaway purchases. The first customer he called was Jennifer Boccelli of Manchester, CT.
She arrived at the store around noon and promptly paid off someone else's layaway. With the help of the store manager, she called the customer and told her the items she had on layaway were ready to be picked up.
Ring said these acts of kindness really gave his fellow Walmart employees a big moral boost. He said he had heard of others doing this, but this was the first time it had happened at a store where he worked.

Majestic PR04AH Prophonic Series Hammered Timpani SetThe Majestic PR04AH Prophonic Series Timpani Set includes 23", 26", 29", and 32" cambered hammered copper kettles.Until now timpani players had to choose between either collapsible timpani without a professional sound or professional sounding timpani without the possibility of easy transport. All of the folding timpani on the market had their complete tension mechanisms inside the kettles. The newly invented and patented Prophonic timpani have finally solved the challenge of a fully suspended and free sounding timpani kettle.The Prophonic combines the superior sound quality of the Symphonic Grand series with the easy transportability of the Harmonic series. In fact, the legs around the kettle protect the copper from damage and denting. The deep cambered copper kettle is made out of a single copper sheet, from bottom to rim. The kettle is fully suspended because there is no tuning mechanism inside, no steel rims on top and no tension blocks mounted. The result is the best possible sound characteristics.Majestic Prophonic timpani are easy to travel with – 4 pieces can be moved in a larger vehicle and 2 pieces will fit inside the smallest car. They are also much easier to store because they need far less space than traditional timpani.KettleThe kettle is deep drawn from a single copper sheet in deep cambered form for optimal resonance and sustain. Available in the full range of sizes: 20", 23", 26", 29" and 32" with a choice between hammered or glossy polished finish. Aluminum kettles are also available in the same deep cambered form as an economical alternative to copper and are finished in an attractive copper colour.PedalThe pedal has a balance system with smooth action at any setting. Pedals on the back leg and both front legs are fully collapsible. A hand fine tuner is also available at an extra charge.Tuning GaugeAll Majestic timpani are fitted with an extremely accurate, easily adjustable and eye-pleasing tuning gauge. Ranges And SizesThe Majestic Prophonic timpani all have a range of almost 1 octave and come in the following sizes: 20", 23", 26", 29" and 32". All Majestic timpani can be ordered in either American or German set up. Tuning gauges will be placed accordingly.HeadsProphonics come standard with Remo Renaissance heads.

ST. PAUL, MN (WSAU) - Wisconsin hung on to defeat Colorado College in the WCHA Championship game Saturday night 3-2. That gives the hockey Badgers a sixth consecutive victory, an automatic bid to the NCAA Hockey Tournament and the WCHA's Broadmoor Trophy.
Nic Kerdiles had a goal and an assist. Sean Little had a goal for Wisconsin. Tyler Barnes scored with 17 seconds left in the first period the Badgers on top, and they stayed ahead the rest of the night.
Both teams needed to win to move on to the NCAA tournament because their records were not strong enough for an at-large bid.
Along with the Badgers winning the WCHA title, Nic Kerdiles was named the most valuable player of the Final Five. He recorded a goal and an assist Saturday, and scored five goals and 13 assists during the last 11 games.
The 16-team NCAA Hockey tournament field will be announced at 8 p.m. Sunday on ESPNU.

Design research revisited
We spend a lot of time in front of clients. When we get a chance to sit in the audience and let other researchers and designers talk, it's a welcome change of pace. Exposure to new models, new tools, and new ideas is one way we keep our work fresh and our thinking current.
Recently, Chris and I attended the Design Research Conference in Chicago. Presented by the IIT Institute of Design, the conference is in its tenth year of exploring the business impact of design research. Here's a recap of some highlights from two information-packed days…
Donna Flynn, Director of Design Research at Steelcase, kicked off the first day of presentations. She shared an interesting model following the arc of impact that design research can have on an organization under the right conditions, moving from knowledge-building through influence-building to guidance.
Jay Melican, a research scientist on the Interaction & Experience Research team at Intel, began his talk with an interesting observation: When it comes to designing design research tools, we are our own users.
Greg Ames and Joel Kashuba of P&G stressed content delivery and the fact that how design researchers capture what we do and report it needs to be easily internalized… and a PDF is not easily internalized, at least not in a way that will drive memory and meaning. As Chris summarized: Great content with mediocre delivery might as well be bad content.
The first ID faculty member to present, Tom MacTavish, shared a viral video to illustrate how our expectations for technology are evolving…
Tom challenged attendees to think about how the meaning of terms such as "privacy," "friend," "presence," "conversation," and "real" have changed in the era of social media and ubiquitous mobile devices.
In my favorite talk from Day One, Jump Associates' Peter Mortensen and Joyce Chen explained how a theory developed in 1943 to illustrate patterns in the diffusion of corn seed hybrids could be used to identify appropriate design research methods based on where a product or service is in the adoption lifecycle.
Earning the endorsement of innovators means alpha/beta-testing and co-creation. Curation for early adopters requires an understanding of frames (how do they create meaning?), so much can be learned from contextual interviews as well a narrative or semiotic analysis. By observing the activities of the early majority (through shadowing, activity analysis, and needs analysis), you can discover how they've been able to integrate products or services into their lives. Through heuristic walk-throughs or usability testing, you can economize products or services for adoption by the late majority. If you can spot style trends or play with features, you can reach laggards; fashion forecasting and focus groups can be useful here. By that point, it's time for a refresh, which is where resale markets, social media, and even customer service logs can be useful.
I also enjoyed listening to Nate Bolt of Bolt Peters, who presented next. Besides tipping me off about the next innovation from iPod inventor Tony Fadell, his talk also illuminated the importance of timeliness in research. Finding people in the act of thinking about or performing the behaviors you hope to learn more about can be incredibly valuable. As Nate said, "Attachment to the moment yields immediacy," a truth he probes more deeply in his book.
Kayne Burke, formerly of MindSwarms, talked about the increasing speed of research. Digital technology enables unfiltered, authentic responses from a potentially global pool of research subjects. On the flip-side, digital research is still the Wild West stage. Kayne's advice: Trust, but verify.
Michael Winnick and Martha Cotton extended the topic of digital research with a talk about their recently launched project, dscout – a tool designed to richly capture real world experiences in real time. We're excited about the potential of dscout as it might apply to some of the empathic research projects we have in the pipeline.
There is a huge difference between data as data and data as document, according to Jeff Stanger, Director of the Center for Digital Information. Stanger shared the statistic that 98 percent of all research output is currently delivered in the form of a static PDF. In a digital environment, that is a recipe for irrelevance. Visualization of data is no longer sufficient, according to Stanger. Data that can be shared, manipulated, etc. is now the expectation.
The City of Chicago's Chief Technology Officer John Tolva wrapped up Day One's presentations by sharing some of the interesting ways his department's open data policy allows Chicagoans to access and build upon the massive amount of data generated daily by digital systems across the city.
Highlights from the second day of presentations start with the charmingly matter-of-fact (but eminently knowledgeable) Luis Arnal, managing partner of international strategic innovation consultancy in/situm. He began by listing the problems he has with the word insight. Besides the fact that the word can't be easily translated into Spanish or Portuguese, the word is often misused to describe other things: data, codified data, analysis, patterns. None of these are insights, according to Luis. His definition? An insight is 30 percent imagination, 30 percent data, 30 percent analysis, and 10 percent luck. Insights are not the end, he cautioned, but the means to an end.
He concluded his talk with this bit of advice: While not all researchers are courageous, and not all researchers care about quality, it always helps to understand the segment you're talking to.
Arjun Chakravarti, Assistant Professor of Management and Marketing at IIT's Stuart School of Business, reminded us that moving from design insight to market opportunity is hard, especially when price is a key constraint of the design process. Clients are understandably biased toward return on investment, so in the end failure to design to price is failure.
Sapient/Nitro's global lead for research and insights, Todd Cherkasky, offered four tactics for making design research more collaborative – especially in the age of data analytics.
1. Talk about our work in terms of the services we provide, not in terms of the methods that we use. By reframing how we talk about research, we move away from talking about method – data collection – and toward the interpretation of that data, which is where the real value can be found.
2. Use tools that encourage collaboration across disciplines. One of the tools Todd uses is a Customer Eco-system. In his mind, the dialogue generated by using these tools actually becomes more important than the artifacts themselves.
3. Build an "asset" library as a way to consolidate and share insights. Think in platforms that can be used over time to accumulate knowledge. I was heartened by how perfectly this advice aligns with efforts currently well under way at Peopledesign.
4. Audit an organization's ability to deliver a cohesive customer experience.
A few important points were raised by Ken Kellogg and Gina Villavicencio of the User Research group at Marriott, both in the text of their talk and in the subtext. First, they discussed some of the differences between what clients need out of research and what designers need. For me, these were some of the key takeaways from the two days of presentations. Also important: The very fact that big, established, seemingly conventional U.S. corporations like Marriott have strong innovation stories to tell speaks to a changing paradigm. Among this group at least, big corporations are no longer seen as the enemies of innovation.
Luke Williams of frog, author of Disruptive Thinking, illustrated how changing a few conventions can trigger a new perception…
In the afternoon of Day Two, the talks focused on research deliverables. Robert Zolna and Edwin Lee shared some examples of how gravity tank has shifted out of the PowerPoint mentality.
Research deliverables can run the gamut from full-serve to self-serve, sensual to informative. According to Ted Frank of Backstories Studio, choosing the right tools for the right audience means delivering real value.
Anthropologist/industrial designer/strategist Jacob Simmons of NBBJ used a recent project with Kaiser Permanente to talk about creating a design strategy, while Barbara Denton, Kaiser's national team manager, followed up with a talk about implementing a brand strategy.
Jacob presented NBBJ's model for design strategy, beginning with Research and Strategy, moving through Concept Development, and ending with Change Management. On a higher level, it bridges the gap between aspiration/vision and transformation. The interesting layer for me was the relationship of "value" to "project work" across this bridge.

The Lady Knights did all their damage in the first period Monday afternoon and then did everything but score again as Sandwich put on a very strong performance in defeating visiting Norwell 3-1 at Gallo Ice Arena.
Sandwich goalie Allison Hir stopped a breakaway by the Clippers in the opening period, but the Lady Knight defense then kept Norwell away from the net for most of the rest of the game as Hir played all but the final minute, turning things over to Faith Lennox to nail down the win. Hir finished the game with eight saves.
Sandwich opened the scoring 5:59 into the first period on a goal by Anna Hurley, who redirected a shot from the left side. Kate Towey and Tara McElhinney picked up the assists. Maggie Layo then gave the Lady Knights a 2-0 lead as she took a pass from Katie Lowry and raced up the slot beating the Norwell goalie Jessica Mitchell. Colleen Macdonald also assisted on the goal.
Sandwich wrapped up the first period scoring their third goal with 6:40 left to play. Nicole Martin, who recently moved to defense, remembered a thing or two about how to score a goal, as she went end-to-end skating past the Norwell defense, taking the puck right up the middle and letting loose an unassisted blast that drilled the back of the net.
The Clippers took three first period penalties. While the Lady Knights were all around the net, they just could not score. The Clippers took a penalty in the scoreless second period and once again Sandwich swarmed the Norwell net, but failed to score.
Related Content
The Clippers avoided a shutout with 5:07 to play in the final period with a goal by Lilly Cleary, but never came close to picking up a second as Sandwich kept the play inside the Norwell blue line for most of the third.

RICHMOND (AP) -- Director Steven Spielberg's movie about Abraham Lincoln that was filmed in Virginia is set to open in November.
The Virginia Film Office says "Lincoln" will be released in theaters Nov. 9 and expand nationally on Nov. 16.
The film stars Daniel Day-Lewis as the president and Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln. Supporting actors include Tommy Lee Jones, James Spader and David Strathairn.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that the production employed more than 400 Virginia crew members and staff as well as about 1,200 actors and extras.
The Virginia Film Office said that the production company spent $32.4 million in the state during filming and the economic impact for the Richmond and Petersburg areas was more than $64 million.

Here's a sobering reality about public education in Ohio that should open the eyes of voters in the Nov. 6 election: There will be 194 school levies on the ballot, including 123 seeking additional funding. The rest are renewals or continuations of taxes now on the books.
But that's only part of the bad news confronting local school districts. According to the Columbus Dispatch, the 194 levies represent the highest percentage of new taxes in at least the past decade.
The Dispatch also notes that less than a third of the levies requesting new money have been approved since 2003. Renewal levies have a pass rate of 90 percent.
It doesn't take a doctorate to figure out what's going on in communities around the state: Taxpayers are in no mood to give schools or other public entities more money to operate.
It doesn't matter to them that state funding has been slashed by about $800 million in the current biennium budget passed by the Republican controlled General Assembly and signed into law by Republican Gov. John Kasich.
It also makes no difference to most taxpayers that schools districts have imposed deep cuts in spending. They just don't want to pay any more for schools.
Recognizing the economic stress people have been under because of the national recession, The Vindicator is not taking a position on the new levies being sought by school districts in Mahoning and Trumbull counties. We believe that each voter should make decision based on his or her own economic condition.
On the other hand, we urge passage of all the school tax renewals because depriving the districts of the money they now receive will affect the education of the students.
Given that at least 80 percent of a system's operating budget goes for salaries and benefits, a reduction in the teaching workforce is inevitable.
And while there are some politicians who do not believe that class size makes a difference in the way students learn, scholarly studies have put such faulty thinking to rest.
In Mahoning County, six district have levies on the general election ballot. Of those, four are seeking additional revenue: Boardman, Jackson-Milton, Poland and Springfield.
Jackson-Milton is also asking voters to renew a 4.9-mill operating levy for five years. The tax would generate $988,485 a year, which is needed to avoid an operating deficit.
South Range, also hoping to avoid an operating deficit, is seeking the renewal of a 2.4-mill levy for 10 years. It is expected to generate $430,555.
In an earlier editorial, we urged the residents of the Youngstown City School District, which recently climbed out of state mandated fiscal emergency and is currently under state academic watch, to not hesitate in renewing a 10.4- mill tax. It would be in effect for four years and would bring in $5.29 million.
Defeat of the levy would deliver a crippling blow to the troubled urban school district.
In Trumbull County, voters in seven districts will have to decide just how important public education is to their communities.
There are residents in precincts in the Jackson Milton district who will vote on the additional and renewal levies.
Likewise, voters living in one precinct in Mesopotamia Township will vote on renewing Cardinal Local School District's 9.7 mills for five years.
Champion and Mathews school districts are seeking additional revenue to meet emergency expenses.
Howland Local has the renewal of the 8.1- mill levy on the ballot. It would be in effect for 10 years and would generate $5.05 million.
Joseph Badger is asking voters to renew a 3.6-mill levy to generate $425,379. It would be in effect for 10 years.
These are challenging times for individuals and for school districts and other public entities. But, when the future of a community is inextricably tied to the strength of the school system, residents should take the time to examine the tax issues closely.
The Vindicator supports approval of the renewals.
The Brookfield Board had 3 choices to alleviate their cash flow concerns: 1) increase the property tax mills from 51.85 with an additional 9.13 mills 2) use a 1% income tax on the "earned income only tax" based method. This method would have eliminated social security, pensions, IRA/401(k) distribtutions, and interest.3) use a the most agressive method of the "tradtional tax base method" which only excludes social security and grants a senior $50 credit per return filed. Brookfield chose to attack your pension, savings and IRA/401(k) monies that they don't tell people there is a difference. If you doubt what I write look at Ohio State Form SD100 and fill in your 2011 numbers to calculate your estimated 2013 cost. Also now a local tax form in addtion to state and federal. Adding income tax in addtion to property tax is a slippy slope to begin walking. Remember all all wage earners already will have a 2% increase in their FICA tax in 2013. Now you will be have 3% less money if this passes. Vote No on the Brookfield income tax.
The choice seems obvious: support the schools and have a future for the city, or withhold support for the city's future and wait for the Corrections Corp. of America (NYSE:CXW) to herd thousands more of our kids into holding cells.
"Local school districts dealing with huge financial challenges"
So is everyone else, you ain't special.
Schools are one of the largest - if not THE largest - government budgets in any region. The People have sent in their money for decades, and the entire time, have watched the government personnel take 8 out of every 10 dollars, and put it straight into their pockets.
School budgets need slashed far more than they have been...FAR more!
send in your money, and he'll restore them as soon as he get it.
If money hadn't been diverted to risky, unproven, privatization and charter school schemes that enrich republican donors, the money would be there. Instead, while Taft's and Kasich's friends get rich at the expense of Ohio's school kids, the public schools suffer just because the republicans hate teacher unions.

E.L. Haynes Public Charter School is receiving an award on Wednesday for its efforts to prevent bullying and otherwise maintain a safe school environment.
The top-performing charter school was selected from among the District's public charters to receive the Student Support Center's first-ever Safe Schools Award because of its "consistent efforts to better the lives of students," said Student Support Center Executive Director Carolyn Gardner. The award will be presented at a reception Wednesday night.
Among other factors, the honor is likely the result of E.L. Haynes' commitment to student health, such as efforts "cultivating students' skills in conflict resolution and relationship building," said Beth Hood, the school's director of student services.
Bullying has been a major problem in District schools. In a survey last school year of every middle school in D.C. Public Schools, at least 60 percent of students said they had been "made fun of for the way they look or talk," The Washington Examiner has previously reported.
Last April, Mayor Vincent Gray also announced an "Anti-Bullying Action Plan," which included a city-wide taskforce to combat bullying.

Knicks Make Wizards Go Poof; Still Undefeated at Home
Final Score: Knicks 108, Wizards 87
Record: 11-4 (Tied for 1st in Atlantic, Tied for 2nd in Eastern Conference)
Current Streak: Won 2
JR Smith put it well during the walk-off interview: "they are a struggling team, we want to win by as much as we can."
I guess winning by 21 points is enough, right?
By the way, was only two points off with my pregame prediction of "Knicks 108, Wizards 85." So close!
The Knicks are now 6-0 at home this season and according to Tommy Beer of Hoopsworld, they are 17-1 at home since Woody took over last season. Pretty impressive.
Really great to see the bench hustling until the final minute, showing coach Woody everyone is taking this game seriously.
Pregame "key match-up" I had Brewer and Beal. Brewer did a solid job, even with a metal splint on his finger. I'm impressed with Beal, a lot quicker than a thought. He'll keep getting better and better. Great looking jumper.
What 2 Watch (pregame)
- Priggie Smalls did it again. Can't ask for much more from this guy. Really solid play finishing with 8 points and 5 assists (one of those a pretty one to JR Smith for a reverse dunk)
- Singleton - zeros across the stat line (except for 2 blocks)… =)
Let's keep this going.
KNOTEWORTHY KNICK OF THE GAME: JR Smith - yet another all around game from our sixth man: 20 points, 6 assists, 2 rebounds

Inspired by actual accounts, How Shakespeare Won the West, press notes state, "tells the story of an eccentric but enterprising troupe of New York actors that travels west to attain fame and fortune by performing Shakespeare for entertainment-starved California '49ers. Surprisingly stiff competition, complicated romantic entanglements, and Indian attacks make their cross-country adventure more than they bargained for."
The cast will be headed by Will LeBow as Thomas Jefferson Calhoun, the head of the pioneering acting troupe; Mary Beth Fisher as Alice Calhoun, his wife; and Jeremiah Kissel as Edward Oldfield, a "utility player" who masquerades as a renowned British actor, despite actually being from Albany, NY.
The company will also feature John DeVries, Ron Campbell, Chris Henry Coffey, Kelly Hutchinson, Erik Lochtefeld, Sarah Nealis, Susannah Schulman and Joe Tapper with Marc Harpin and Curt Klump.
In a statement artistic director DuBois said, "I wanted to kick off the season with something that is a celebration of ambition, that has a strong exuberant quality, and that celebrates the art form of theatre. It is an honor to be premiering a new work of Richard [Nelson's], one of the theatre's great masters of language. His incorporation of text from Shakespeare's plays into his script not only enhances his storytelling – it allows us to hear Shakespeare's beautiful language in new and enlightening ways."
The production will feature scenic design by Antje Ellermann, costume design by Laurie Churba Kohn, lighting design by Japhy Weideman, and music composition and sound design by Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen. Production stage manager is Bethany Ford; stage manager is Leslie Sears.
The Huntington's main stage, the Boston University Theatre, is located at 264 Huntington Avenue in Boston, MA. For tickets call (617) 266-0800 or visit www.huntingtontheatre.org.

Scalpers are trying to make a profit off Wednesday night's sold-out Lady Antebellum benefit concert for Henryville.
The country band wanted to give back to the community after the town was hit hard by a tornado in March. Many families will be able to rebuild thanks to the charity.
Now Henryville residents are upset to find out the tickets are being marked up on Stubhub for anywhere from 2 to 4 times the original cost.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
"I think that's wrong, very wrong for them to do something like that," said one resident. "Anybody, to try to make a profit from things that are supposed to go to charity."
Officials say they have seen the prices, but Stubhub is a legitimate site and there isn't much they can do.
The money raised from the concert is going to a disaster relief fund. 100 percent of all the proceeds collected at the show will go right back to Henryville.

According to an AP report, the wreckage of a plane that was carrying Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera, amongst others, has been found. The wire service says there are no survivors. The L.A. Times reports that Rivera was a quickly-rising star who had recently scored success with a reality television show. She was reportedly in consideration for a television pilot for ABC — which would have given her an English-language crossover. Rivera was 43. (Reed Saxon/AP)
UPDATE: According to Mexican Transportation and Communications Minister Gerardo Ruiz Esparza, "There is nothing recognizable, neither material nor human, in the wreckage."
