A COLLEGE GUIDE FOR
CHILDHOOD CANCER
SURVIVORS
(NewsUSA) - At 14 years of age, Chase
Meacham of Columbus, Ohio, became a
survivor.
He survived a cancer diagnosis of
osteosarcoma, a malignant bone tumor
that attacks youth during their budding
adolescence. He survived 35 rounds
of chemotherapy, ve surgeries and
a relapse. As Meacham says, he was
tremendously lucky.
I emerged from the darkness and the
blackness and, to my great surprise,
found a world that was a thousand times
sweeter than the one I had left, said
the 20-year-old Meacham, who now
has a titanium prosthetic supporting
his left knee. For the rst time in my
life, I was able to treasure each day. I
could see things now; I could see just
how wonderful it was to be able to walk,
unbound by [wheel] chair or walker or
crutches or cane.
Like many childhood cancer survivors,
Meacham realizes survivorship is a
journey that lasts a lifetime. Through
advocacy work he continues to impart
his intimate knowledge to others facing
a lifetime battle with cancer, and he was
one of 32 recipients to win a Beyond
the Cure scholarship from The National
Childrens Cancer Society (NCCS).
Among the many difcult steps that
Meacham took after his treatment, going
to college presented new challenges and
rewards. To help parents and soon-to-be
students with the transition, NCCS (www.
thenccs.org) compiled advice from other
survivors:
* Be realistic about the college
completion timeframe. It takes the
average student ve years to nish
college these days -- even if they face
none of the issues of a cancer survivor.
Consider course requirements, course
sizes and curricula and, if necessary,
take ve to six years to graduate.
* Choose instructors with teaching
styles that complement your learning
style. Whether you thrive off class
discussion, group work or individual
face time with professors, ask academic
advisors about compatible teachers.
* Consider health insurance coverage.
Even if its been years since any tumor
growth or relapse, you will always need
health insurance. Some universities offer
coverage plans, which can be a viable
option.
* Get acquainted with other students
with disabilities. Being able to relate to
someone going through similar struggles
can help survivors navigate problems
and know what to expect.

Cure scholarship program, or if youre

3 EASY THINGS PARENTS MUST
DO TODAY TO PROTECT THEIR
KIDS
(NewsUSA) - The explosions of
technology, mobile and social media use
among tweens and teens have left many
parents increasingly in the dark about
what their children see, say and do every
day, and without a clue as to what to do
about it.
The truth is, most children have a hard
enough time navigating the potential
threats and pitfalls that come with
being a tween or teen in the physical
world, and the digital component only
compounds the situation. Many parents
today have NO IDEA what kind of
information their teens are accessing
and sharing on a daily basis, while most
kids have NO IDEA of the potentially far-
reaching consequences of their online
behaviors and activities.
So the question is: How can parents help
teens and tweens navigate their physical
and digital worlds in a way that will keep
them safe and on the right track?
1. Start a dialogue with your teen/tween.
Talk about sexting, cyberbullying, hazing
and other threatening acts. Make your
teen feel comfortable coming to you
or other trusted adults if inappropriate
content is shared with them.
2. Remember that you own the
technology. Communicate upfront that
you are the owner of the computer or
phone and should have access to it,
as well as any passwords used on the
device.
3. Learn From Experts. Be sure to
set controls on your teens computer
and smartphone to monitor usage and
activity.
For parents looking for advice and to
learn from rst-hand experiences on
how to better protect their teens around
technology use and other areas of their
life, log onto www.parentingtodayskids.
com. The site brings together a
roundtable of experts from legal, safety
and parenting experts to real-world
moms and teens who engage in and
offer words of wisdom to address todays
parenting challenges. What parents teach
their kids now about safe and appropriate
online and mobile behavior will help
ensure a happy and healthy passage to
adulthood.
DISCOVER A BETTER RIDE ON
WET ROADS
(NewsUSA) - Bald or poorly maintained
tires wont get you very far when it comes
to driving on slippery roadways. With
improper equipment and maintenance,
slick surfaces from rain storms are a
major threat to safety on the road.
Take control by following this advice from
your friends at Firestone Complete Auto
Care on ways to prepare yourself and
your vehicle for possible wet weather.
* During wet weather conditions, drive
slowly and keep in mind that stopping
distances will be longer than usual.
Stopping on a wet road can take up to
four times the stopping distance of a dry
road.
* Rainwater that mixes with oil or
grime on the streets can cause slippery
conditions that may result in unexpected
skidding.
* Drive smoothly. To maintain control
of your vehicle, try to avoid jerky, abrupt
movements when braking, accelerating
or turning.
* Check your tires at least once a
month. This includes proper rotation,
ination, repair and replacement.
* In many areas of the country, the
snow and ice of winter leave roads in
bad shape. Hitting a pothole can damage
your tire and/or the wheel of your vehicle.
The sharp impact can cause immediate
tire or wheel failure or internal damage
that can lead to tire failure weeks later.
Keeping your tires properly inated will
help reduce pothole damage and other
road hazards. Heres an extra tip about
potholes:
* If you do have to hit a pothole, avoid
braking during the impact. Instead,
attempt to brake before impact and
release just prior to contacting the
pothole. Braking during impact sets up
the tire and wheel assembly for a solid
hit against the edge of the hole. Less
severe damage occurs when a tire is
rolling, rather than skidding, over the
pothole.
Save yourself money on expensive
repairs by following these tips to help
keep your vehicle running in tip-top
shape.

you and your car safe at www.

SELLING YOUR HOUSE: WHICH
FIXES ARE WORTH IT TO LURE
BUYERS?
(NewsUSA) - Okay, dont panic.
If youre one of those homeowners
whos been moaning about how hard
its been trying to sell your house, your
bargaining power -- you remember that
concept, right? -- hasnt been completely
devastated just because a ood of new
foreclosures is expected to hit the market
as a result of the recent $25 billion robo-
signing mortgage settlement.
In fact, while studies have shown your
own property value could take up to
another 4 percent hit if youre within a
quarter mile of a foreclosure ultimately
snapped up at auction or taken back by
the lender, the thing to remember is this:
Most buyers today are only interested
in homes that are move-in-ready, so if
yours isnt ... well, theres your problem.

Buyers generally look at as-is
properties that need work, and say
Ill pass, says Patsy ONeill, a sales
associate with Sothebys in Montclair,
N.J. Thats why I tell clients its worth
making certain strategic xes if theyre
looking for quicker and more protable
sales.
So, which xes are worth it, and which
arent? Read on:
Worth It: Addressing major maintenance
and safety issues. Would you buy a
house with faulty electrical wiring?
Enough said.
Not Worth It: Major bath renovations.
Whatever you do might not suit the
buyer, says ONeill, and meanwhile,
youd have spent as much as tens
of thousands of dollars. Meaning,
stick to things like repairing cracked
shower doors, and save your visions
of a modern-day spa for your own new
abode.
Worth It: Ripping up old carpeting.
Whether you replace it with new carpets
or renish the underlying wood oor
is less important than getting rid of an
eyesore.
Not Worth It: Major kitchen renovations.
Same taste issue as above.
Worth It: Anything that enhances curb
appeal. If the rst thing prospective
buyers notice even before exiting
their cars is that your roof looks like
its been whipped by a tornado, say,
chances are youve already lost the
sale. Its a huge turn-off, says ONeill,
and makes buyers predisposed to nd
even more things they dont like. So,
if your roof needs replacing, check out
the Value Collection Lifetime Designer
Shingles from GAF (the largest roong
manufacturer in North America), which
have the look of luxury shingles but at
very affordable prices (www.gaf.com).
Not Worth It: Anything that screams
clutter. The less of you there is, the
more likely prospective buyers are to
imagine themselves happily living there.
NEW GROUP BUILDS OFF OCCUPY
WALL STREET MOVEMENT
More Sharing ServicesShare | Share on
facebook Share on myspace Share on
google
(NewsUSA) - Occupy Wall Streets most
recent push, May Day, exemplies the
crux of the protest: its a great forum
to express widespread discontent
about nancial issues, but less adept
at affecting bona de change between
giant corporations and average
consumers.
Critics of the movement tend to call it
politically dangerous and radical, like
pollster Doug Schoen in the Wall Street
Journal. On the other hand, President
Obama is embracing a 2012 platform
crusading for the 99 percent against the
presumptive GOP nominee.
However, Obamas administration
didnt fulll its original vows promising
Wall Street culpability or repercussions
for reckless bankers. Despite public
sentiment created by the Occupy
movement, in four years, the federal
government hasnt led a single charge
against any Big Finance executives.
Its perplexing at best, said Phil
Angelides, the Democratic former
California treasurer who chaired the
bipartisan Financial Crisis Inquiry
Commission. Its deeply troubling at
worst.
While Occupy Wall Street succeeded in
presenting a means to express concern,
the federal government continues
to hedge upon promises of nancial
accountability. How can individual
consumers take action?
A budding movement called All Our
Power offers an alternative thats
designed to build off the momentum
created by Occupy Wall Street and spur
real action. As the edgling movement
spreads, millions of members will give
All Our Power the ability to negotiate
with top bankers, retailers, health
insurance companies, cell phone
providers and more.
In fact, the Occupiers at Zuccotti Park
were joined by a large rally of protesters
from All Our Power in early May. Their
signs and chants urged passersby and
Occupiers alike to join their member
base to amass a group 10 million strong.
As the movement continues to swell in
size and inuence, the group intends
to secure lower prices, signicant
discounts and long-term contracts for all
members -- and membership is free.
With these kinds of numbers, we can
truly bring negotiating power to make
huge corporations concede to the needs
of individual consumers, explains Joe
Kalfa, founder of All Our Power. Our
plan is to hold a bunch more rallies in
the coming months across the U.S. Our
movement is a solution that bridges the
gap between the 1 percent and the rest
of us.

Power and receiving signicant
discounts at no charge, visit www.
