GIVING BACK - Wish Upon A Hero Website
Megan and Kurt Kegler had a simple wish.
The couple's 22-month-old daughter, Madison, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in January. She had surgery, and now has ongoing chemo, physical and occupational therapy.
Because they could no longer afford their second car, they have to depend on their 10-year-old Mercury Villager to get their daughter to the hospital and doctor visits. But their two-hour round trip journey to Detroit from their Washington Township home was taking a toll on their car's wheels.
Megan Kegler wished her family had a new set of tires for the car, their lifeline, so she posted her story on Wish Upon A Hero, a Web site where everyone can help anyone. Within a day, Discount Tire in Chesterfield Township told the family to come in, and they put $470 worth of tires on to their vehicle.
"It's the best Web site in the entire world," said Megan Kegler, 27. "There are so many special people out there."

Bodyguards protecting local women for FREE
I saw this story on Channel 4 news last night. The owner of the military style bodyguard company is giving back to the Detroit community by providing FREE protection to local women who have been the victims of sponse abuse. The guards drive the women to work and to court, check out their houses and allow them to sleep well at night.
The owner of this company should be commended for offering this service free of charge. Obviously they cannot help everyone, but the few that do get this FREE service are very blessed.

TRAVEL ALERT: Bumped Airpline Passengers get DOUBLE compensation
Passengers who get bumped off overbooked flights will soon be eligible to receive twice as much compensation from U.S. airlines. Travelers forced onto another flight that takes them to their domestic destination more than two hours after their original arrival time will be paid the full price of their fare up to $800, under a new Transportation Department rule that goes into effect next month (May 2008).
If bumped passengers arrive less than two hours after their original arrival time, the new compensation limit for domestic flights is $400, according to the new rule. The arrival time limit is four hours for international flights, and the amount of the payments are in addition to the value of the passenger's ticket, which can be used for alternate transportation or be refunded.
The new bumped fliers rule also applies to more planes, covering most aircraft that carry more than 30 passengers instead of 60. The previous $200 and $400 limits had not been raised since 1978.

FREE: Kids can make their own movie
Make a movie!Qubo channel invites kids to create their own cartoon shorts
Would you like to make a brief cartoon movie that might be aired on a new digital television network? That's the opportunity that Qubo is offering its viewers.
Would you like to make a brief cartoon movie that might be aired on a new digital television network? That's the opportunity that Qubo is offering its viewers.
Never heard of Qubo? It's a collection of kids shows airing Saturday mornings on NBC and Telemundo (in Spanish). The shows were developed by a group that includes Scholastic, a leading publisher of children's books and magazines.
It might seem odd that a company focused on reading would get involved in a television project, but most of Qubo's shows are based on books. Take, for example, "Jane and the Dragon," a show about a 13-year-old girl in medieval times who has a dragon follow her as she trains to be a knight. Her story comes from the book series by Martin Baynton.
"Jacob Two-Two," about a boy who has to say everything twice, is based on the book series by Mordecai Richler. And the show "Dragon" (a different dragon from Jane's) draws from books by Dav Pilkey, author of the "Captain Underpants" series.

Recently, Qubo launched a 24-hour digital operation, called the ION Network, that offers even more programming. And there is an interactive Web site, http://www.qubo.com/, that features a special challenge involving the 13-year-old "Zimmer Twins" (another Qubo program).
Visitors to the site are encouraged to create mini-cartoon movies starring twins Eva and Edgar. Web-savvy users can create their stories from scratch; first-timers can use built-in scenarios and add their own words. (You can get to this site directly at www.zimmer
twins.com.)
twins.com.)
We asked Rick Rodriguez, president of the Qubo network, what grabs the judges' attention.
"We look for interesting stories with an original idea or good dialogue," he said.
To sign up for the site and make your own movie, you need parental permission.
Qubo has received thousands of submissions. The network is going to add more animation options as the year goes on, giving kids the chance to be even more creative.
"What I just love" about the movies, said Rodriguez, "is that they tell so much about the personality of the kids who make them."

FREE Read - A CHILD-REARING REALITY CHECK
READ: A Child-Rearing Reality CheckPARENTING, INC
How deep are a parent's pockets? According to Pamela Paul, author of Parenting, Inc. raising a child in America today costs upward of $1 million. In an effort to give their children the very best, parents have been sucked into a consumer-oriented, overly competitive, me-too world filled with so-called "educational" toys, parenting "coaches," and $800 theme birthday parties for 2-year-olds. Just remember, a trip to the playground or a conversation costs nothing and just might enrich your kids more than that class in sign language or Mandarin lessons.
