Terms and Conditions of Service
These PLATINUM SERVICES Terms and Conditions of Service are a legally binding agreement between you and PLATINUM SERVICES. They contain important information about your legal rights and require that certain disputes be resolved through Arbitration instead of a court trial. PLATINUM SERVICES reserves the right to change or modify any of these PLATINUM SERVICES Terms and Conditions of Service at any time and at its sole discretion. Any changes or modifications to these PLATINUM SERVICES Terms and Conditions of Service will be binding upon you once posted on the PLATINUM SERVICES website at www.PlatinumServicesAgency.org.

The PLATINUM SERVICES Program provides Lifeline Service, which is a government assistance program funded by the Universal Service Fund Lifeline program and administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company. In order to qualify for enrollment in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program, a person must meet certain eligibility requirements set by each state where the PLATINUM SERVICES Program is offered. These requirements are based on a person's participation in a state or federal support program(s) or by meeting certain income requirements based upon the Federal Poverty Guidelines as defined by the US Government. Federal law limits the availability of the PLATINUM SERVICES Program. The PLATINUM SERVICES Program allows one (1) enrollment per "household". A "household" is any individual or group of individuals who are living together at the same address as one economic unit. The PLATINUM SERVICES Program permits only one Lifeline benefit per household, therefore, no person currently living in the household may receive Lifeline benefits from any other Lifeline program. The PLATINUM SERVICES Program is a non-transferable benefit and Subscriber may not transfer the benefit to any other person.
Applicants for the PLATINUM SERVICES Program must complete an application form, provide supporting documentation that they meet the eligibility requirements and certify, under penalty of perjury, that they:
Are eligible for and currently receive benefits from the public assistance program(s) identified in the application form.

Will notify PLATINUM SERVICES within 30 days of any change of address by calling 1-323-813-5511.
If living at a temporary residential address, will verify the temporary address every 90 days.
Reviewed the information contained in their application and it is true and correct to the best of their knowledge and belief.
Acknowledges that providing false and fraudulent information to receive Lifeline benefits is punishable by law.
Acknowledges a requirement to recertify eligibility at any time and that failure to do so will result in de-enrollment and termination.
Lifeline service, provided under the PLATINUM SERVICES Program is a federal benefit plan and willfully making false statements to obtain the benefit can result in fines, imprisonment, de-enrollment or being barred from the PLATINUM SERVICES Program.
Applicants who qualify and are enrolled in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program will receive a free cellular phone provided by PLATINUM SERVICES together with a free allotment of airtime minutes each month for up to one year. Alternatively, for a discounted rate, applicants who qualify and are enrolled in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program will receive a free cellular phone and significant allotment of minutes for talk and texting. PLATINUM SERVICES will determine at its sole discretion whether or not an applicant meets the eligibility requirements to participate in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program. The monthly airtime minutes provided by the PLATINUM SERVICES Program under any plan may vary from state to state and will be based upon the Plan Option selected. Please call PLATINUM SERVICES at 1-323-813-5511 or visit our website at www.PlatinumServicesAgency.org for further information.
Upon enrollment in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program, you will be qualified to participate for up to one (1) year. To continue your enrollment in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program after the initial year, you must verify at least annually that you are qualified for continued enrollment in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program as required by your state Public Service Commission, Public Utility Commission or other agency administering the PLATINUM SERVICES Program in Your state. PLATINUM SERVICES will also conduct verification for each state according to its rules. If PLATINUM SERVICES determines during its verification, or at any other time, that a customer fails to continue to qualify for the PLATINUM SERVICES Program, such customer will immediately be deemed ineligible to participate in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program, will be de-enrolled from the PLATINUM SERVICES Program and will no longer receive the free monthly minutes or other monthly minute allotment under the customer's plan. PLATINUM SERVICES Customers who are no longer eligible (for any reason) for enrollment in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program must notify PLATINUM SERVICES within 30 days that they no longer meet the eligibility requirements for enrollment. A PLATINUM SERVICES customer's enrollment may also be cancelled upon the request of a state and/or federal authority.
PLATINUM SERVICES reserves the right to cancel the enrollment of any customer and/or permanently deactivate any customer's PLATINUM SERVICES phone for fraud, misrepresentation or other misconduct as determined solely by PLATINUM SERVICES. While participating in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program, a customer shall not be permitted to sell, rent, give away or in any way allow another person to use the cellular phone or PLATINUM SERVICES Service provided to him/her by PLATINUM SERVICES. IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL AND STATE LAW TO SELL OR GIVE AWAY THE PLATINUM SERVICES CELLULAR PHONE OR PLATINUM SERVICES SERVICE PROVIDED TO YOU BY PLATINUM SERVICES. Any violation of this prohibition will be reported to the appropriate legal authorities for prosecution. In addition, if PLATINUM SERVICES determines, in its sole discretion, that a PLATINUM SERVICES customer has violated these prohibitions, PLATINUM SERVICES will permanently de-enroll the customer from the PLATINUM SERVICES Program, their phone will be permanently deactivated and the customer's personal information will be permanently flagged so that the customer may not re-enroll in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program in the future. If you have any questions, concerns, comments or complaints regarding the PLATINUM SERVICES Program or Service, offerings or products, please call PLATINUM SERVICES Customer Service at 1-323-813-5511. You may also contact your state's Public Service Commission/Public Utility Commission.
Upon enrollment in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program, you will receive a pre-activated PLATINUM SERVICES phone delivered to your home address noted in the application. Your account will not be activated until you complete an outbound call on your handset. You must accept the PLATINUM SERVICES telephone number assigned to your PLATINUM SERVICES phone at the time of activation and you will acquire no proprietary interest in any number assigned to you. The wireless telecommunications networks used to transmit calls for the PLATINUM SERVICES Service are owned and operated by various licensed commercial mobile radio service providers ("Carriers"), not PLATINUM SERVICES. The number assigned to your PLATINUM SERVICES phone at the time of activation will not be changed for any reason unless required by a Carrier or if the number is lost following the deactivation of your phone. You may not select a number to be assigned to your PLATINUM SERVICES phone. Your PLATINUM SERVICES phone can only be used through PLATINUM SERVICES, and cannot be activated with any other wireless or cellular service. PLATINUM SERVICES Services are provided at PLATINUM SERVICES's discretion. Some functions and features referenced in the Manufacturer's manual provided with your PLATINUM SERVICES phone may not be available on your PLATINUM SERVICES handset. PLATINUM SERVICES may modify or cancel any PLATINUM SERVICES Service or take corrective action at any time without prior notice and for any reason, including but not limited to your violation of these terms and conditions of service.
While you are enrolled in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program, you will receive a free monthly allotment of airtime minutes or a larger monthly allotment of minutes for a discounted rate as provided for the PLATINUM SERVICES Program approved in your state and the minute Plan that you select. PLATINUM SERVICES airtime is issued in minute (or unit) increments. Units are deducted from the PLATINUM SERVICES phone at a rate of one (1) unit per minute or partial minute of use. There is no additional charge for nationwide long distance.
New PLATINUM SERVICES customers must choose a plan upon enrollment. Existing PLATINUM SERVICES customers who wish to switch plans may do so at www.PlatinumServicesAgency.org or by calling 1-323-813-5511.
Airtime minutes will be deducted for all time during which your PLATINUM SERVICES phone is connected to, or using, the wireless system of any Carrier. Use of a wireless system typically begins when you press the "send," "call" or other key to initiate or answer a call and does not end until you press the "end" key or the call is otherwise terminated. Airtime minutes are deducted for all incoming and outgoing calls, including incoming call waiting calls, simultaneous calls, calls to toll free numbers, 411, 611, Customer Service, and to access your voice mail. For simultaneous calls, such as incoming call waiting and 3-way calling (where available) airtime minutes will be deducted for each call. For outbound calls, you may be charged airtime for incomplete and/or busy-no answer calls. Airtime minutes will be deducted for use of other services such as text messaging and accessing the PLATINUM SERVICES Web ("WAP"). Text messages initiated by PLATINUM SERVICES do not reduce the airtime minutes in your plan. No credit or refund is given for dropped calls.
"UNLIMITED USE DOES NOT MEAN UNREASONABLE USE. To ensure that all customers have access to reliable services provided at a reasonable cost, you may not use our service in a manner that interferes with another PLATINUM SERVICES customers use of our service or disproportionally impacts PLATINUM SERVICES's network resources. PLATINUM SERVICES reserves the right, without notice or limitation, to terminate individual calls, or, after providing notice to you, offer you a different service plan with no unlimited usage components, or deny, terminate, end, modify, disconnect or suspend your service, or decline to renew your service, if you engage in any of the prohibited voice uses detailed below or if PLATINUM SERVICES, in its sole discretion, determines action is necessary to protect its wireless networks from harm or degradation.
Examples of Prohibited Voice Uses: PLATINUM SERVICES voice services are provided solely for live dialogue between, and initiated by, two individuals for personal use & as otherwise described in this policy. PLATINUM SERVICES voice services may not be used for any commercial or other similar purposes including, but not limited to, (1) conference calling; (2), monitoring services; (3), data transmissions; (4), transmission of broadcasts; (5) transmission of recorded material; (6) interconnection to other networks; (7) telemarketing; (8) autodialed calls; (9) other commercial uses; or other connections that do not consist of uninterrupted live dialogue between two individuals.
Data coverage services are not available everywhere. 3G data coverage is available on the largest nationwide network but may be limited by your device's capabilities. 4G Devices are not supported. Devices with WAP browsers may not be supported for web browsing; however they will be able to use data for Picture Messaging (aka MMS). Data balance is required for picture messaging. Picture messages use an average of 1.2 MB/MMS (For example, 20 picture messages averaging 1.2MB/MMS = 24MB of data used).
As a PLATINUM SERVICES customer, you will receive one year of service days upon your enrollment and activation in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program and another 365 service days following each successful annual verification for your continued program eligibility in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program. Failure to respond to an annual verification request within 30 days will trigger notice of impending de-enrollment and de-enrollment effective five (5) business days after the expiration of the time to respond to the annual verification request. Upon de-enrollment from the PLATINUM SERVICES Program, you will cease receiving the free or paid monthly allotment of airtime. If you are de-enrolled, your phone will remain active and you may continue to use your phone so long as you have available airtime minutes and service days remaining on your phone. You may purchase airtime and service days to keep your phone service active. If you are de-enrolled from the PLATINUM SERVICES Program and you allow your remaining service days to expire or go "past due," your phone service will be deactivated, you may lose your unused minutes and you will lose your wireless telephone number.
If your service is deactivated, you may reactivate your service by re-enrolling in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program (if eligible) or purchasing and redeeming a PLATINUM SERVICES airtime plan with service days. Upon reactivation of your phone, you may be assigned a new telephone number. If you have been de-enrolled from the PLATINUM SERVICES Program but you wish to keep your service active, you must purchase and redeem additional airtime and service days before the "Service End Date" displayed on your phone. To prevent any interruption in your phone service, please keep your handset service active by timely completing your annual verification as required by the PLATINUM SERVICES Program or by purchasing and adding PLATINUM SERVICES airtime before your Service End Date.
"No Usage" De-Enrollment and Deactivation: Regardless of the Service End Date displayed on your handset, if you exceed 60 days without any Usage (as defined in this section), You will be de-enrolled from the PLATINUM SERVICES Program. An account will be considered active if during any 60-day period you do at least one of the following: make a monthly payment; purchase minutes from PLATINUM SERVICES to add to your existing account; complete an outbound call; answer an incoming call from anyone other than PLATINUM SERVICES; or affirmatively respond to a direct contact from PLATINUM SERVICES confirming that you want to continue your service. Upon de-enrollment for non-Usage, you will have up to a 30 day grace period to re-enroll in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program. If you do not re-enroll or call PLATINUM SERVICES Customer Service within 30 days of your de-enrollment, your phone service will be deactivated. In order to reactivate your PLATINUM SERVICES phone and re-enroll in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program, you will need to call PLATINUM SERVICES Customer Service. Upon successful re-enrollment, you will receive the monthly minutes that you were entitled to receive through the date your enrollment was cancelled. You will not, however, receive any airtime for the period of time you were not enrolled in the PLATINUM SERVICES Program.
You agree not to give away, resell or offer to resell the PLATINUM SERVICES Phone or Service provided by the PLATINUM SERVICES Program. You also agree your PLATINUM SERVICES Phone will not be used for any other purpose that is not allowed by this agreement or that is illegal. WE CAN, WITHOUT NOTICE, LIMIT, SUSPEND, OR END YOUR SERVICE AND DE-ENROLL YOU FROM THE PLATINUM SERVICES PROGRAM FOR VIOLATING THIS PROVISION OR FOR ANY OTHER GOOD CAUSE, including, but not limited to, if You: (a) violate any of the terms and conditions of service; (b) lie to us or attempt to defraud us; (c) allow anyone to tamper with your PLATINUM SERVICES Phone; (d) threaten or commit violence against any of our employees or customer service representatives; (e) use vulgar and/or inappropriate language when interacting with our representatives; (f) steal from us; (g) harass our representatives; (h) interfere with our operations; (i) engage in abusive messaging, emailing or calling; (j) modify your device from its manufacturer's specification; or (k) use the service in a way that adversely affects our network or the service available to our other customers.

You will find coverage maps on our website. These maps are for general informational purposes only. Actual coverage and service areas may vary from the maps and may change without notice. PLATINUM SERVICES does not guarantee coverage or service availability. Even within a coverage area, factors such as terrain, weather, structures, foliage, signal strength, traffic volumes, service outages, network changes, technical limitations, and your equipment may interfere with actual service, quality and availability. "Roaming" occurs when a subscriber of one wireless service provider uses the facilities of another wireless service provider. Roaming most often occurs when you make and receive calls outside of the network coverage area of your service provider. When your PLATINUM SERVICES phone is roaming, an indicator light on your handset may display the word "Roam" or "RM" on the screen while the phone is not in use. There are no additional charges for roaming calls for the PLATINUM SERVICES phone you were provided. Availability, quality of coverage and Services while roaming are not guaranteed.
Service is subject to transmission limitations caused by certain equipment and compatibility issues, atmospheric, topographical and other conditions.

At anytime, PLATINUM SERVICES reserves the right to substitute and/or replace any PLATINUM SERVICES E WIRELESS equipment (including handsets) with other PLATINUM SERVICES equipment including handsets of comparable quality. Some functions and features referenced in the Manufacturer's manual for a particular PLATINUM SERVICES handset may not be available on your phone. PLATINUM SERVICES does not warrant or guarantee availability of network or of any Services at any specific time or geographic location or that the Services will be provided without interruption. Neither PLATINUM SERVICES, nor any Carrier, shall have any liability for service failures, outages or limitations of Service. Because of the risk of being struck by lightning, you should not use your PLATINUM SERVICES phone outside during a lightning storm.

text: Leave it to the Japanese to come up with an environmentally friendly solution to drying wet umbrellas. The new "Rain Wipe" from Annon removes rainwater using a squeegee-like device to pull water from the umbrella into a collecting tray. The tray would only need replacement after about 3000 umbrellas have been squeezed through. It generates less trash than using those plastic umbrella baggies and uses less energy than umbrella blow dryers. Ingenious! [Dvice]

HONG KONG/STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish compressor and mining gear maker Atlas Copco (ATCOa.ST) is close to a deal to buy a 75 percent stake in Shandong Rock Drilling Tools Co Ltd from China's Shandong Sanshan Group, sources in China familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The sources did not disclose any purchase price.
The deal for the stake in the rock drilling gear maker, based in the eastern province of Shandong and which has about 400 staff, included a stake in a steel mill, a source said.
"An agreement is expected to be finalized soon," a Sanshan official said on Thursday, declining to be identified because they are not authorized to comment.
An Atlas Copco spokesman declined to comment.
Shandong Sanshan Group, of which Shandong Rock Drilling Tools is a major part, is a privately controlled Chinese firm with annual revenue of 400-500 million yuan ($65-$80 million), an official at the group said.
Several other sources with knowledge of the matter in China also confirmed Sanshan Group and Atlas Copco were in talks. One of the sources noted the two companies had a relationship after doing business for several years.
The acquisition would likely be one of Atlas Copco's biggest this year and strengthen its foothold in the fast-growing Chinese market. It would also create potential for using Shandong Rock Drilling Tools as a production base for exports.
Atlas Copco and Swedish rival Sandvik (SAND.ST) are major players in the global mine equipment market and supply half the gear used for underground mining globally.
Shandong Rock Drilling Tools' main products are Sanshan brand mining and drilling gear. The company said on its website these were sold across China and exported to markets such as Australia, Canada, Japan and the United States.
A global slowdown has weighed on parts of Atlas Copco's business in recent months but has done little to dent strong cash generation. That has left analysts expecting the group to hand out billions of crowns in extra dividends next year.
The agreement being finalized with Sanshan would underscore recent comments by Atlas Copco executives that its priority was to use its strong cash and capital base on acquisitions and investments to grow the business.
The company has, in recent years, focused on small to mid-size acquisitions. Its appetite for large-scale purchases has been tempered by a foray begun in the late 1990s into a vast U.S. machine rentals business which it later abandoned.
Sanshan Group Co Ltd is headquartered in Liaocheng city in Shandong province. With registered capital of 80 million yuan, the firm makes various drilling tools and parts used for mining.

There was a bit of a mishap, one of the cars we were looking at and had decided on was sold to someone else the very same morning, and we weren't notified, however Chip was very helpful and more than made up for it, he helped us get an amazing car for an amazing price, he helped us with all of our needs.
The salesman Chip awesome, he worked hard on my deal...The dealership communication was good. Wanted them to keep me posted on deal... awesome job thanks!!!!
Chip Kearney was extremely helpful and cognizant of my needs. Overall it was a good experience and I'd recommend Giving chip a call if you're in the market for a car.
Chip made the process of buying a new car seamless. I wish we would have gone there first. He was able to get me a car in the price range I was needing and kept me updated throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend him to anyone and know. I will definately return for any future car buying needs.
Great car dealership family to be a part of. Very welcoming and good prices for vehicles with better value! Thank you so much Chip Kearney!
Chip was extremely personable and detail oriented about our requests, but he also made it clear that he valued our time as our visit was efficient, and he helped us hone in on the options that best met our needs quickly. I found a car that I love well within my price range. Highly recommend you visit Chip and the Suntrup team for your next purchase of a new or pre-owned vehicle!
My husband and I bought a car from Chip today. He was helpful in the whole process and I'm very excited for the car we got! Would highly recommend Chip!
We were just looking but bought after Chip hooked us up with the great deal on an Armada upgrade. Armin rocked too!! We could not be happier and will be back.
This dealership went above and beyond! They lead me to exactly what I was looking for all while making sure I stayed in budget! Nicest group of people! Chip was amazing and listened to everything I had to say! Highly recommend coming here if you are in search of a car!
Chip Kearney was awesome all the way around. Very upfront and put me in the vehicle I originally wanted. We will be buying ALL of our cars from Suntrup from this point forward. Awesome experience!!!
Chip was amazing; great service and personality ; great price; just a very good experience ! Anyone looking for a vehicle needs to look him up! He's the best!
Chip was my kind of guy. His desk was a mess......just like mine, sports stuff all over (loved it), and in the end, got me a great deal on a certified Nissan Altima ! THANKS CHIP !
Chip kearney is a guy that went to school with my dad at oakville. He was super nice and respectful today and hooked me up with my first ever truck!!!! So happy with the expierence!
Great job from everyone!the vehicle was in great condition and everyone was helpful and courteous. I will definitely recommend this dealership to other people. Plus I get free car washes!
If you're in the market for a used car, go see Chip at Suntrup Pre-Owned! Chip was very friendly and both Chip and Steve worked with our family (and small children) to help us quickly and efficiently "seal the deal" on our desired family vehicle and pricing.
Chip was amazing! I had been to a couple dealerships before this one and no one gave me the service Chip did. He helped finance me into an amazing used car. Great experience overall!
Mr. Kearny is a great salesman. He made the whole car buying experience seem like a trip to the store. I had my questions answered and he was very nice and knowledgeable
Went car shopping for my daughter and we ended up buying 2 cars! Very friendly! If you need a car, highly recommend visiting them first. Go see Chip & Steve! Thanks guys! 😊
Chip and the whole Suntrup team were so helpful and what's most important is they treated me with so much respect! Thank you, Chip, Todd, Lexi , and Steve!!
My wife and I loved working with chip and Todd. They are great. Chip was the easiest sales guy to work with, Very easy and quick. Will buy again from here!
This dealership has helped me obtain a new car twice. The first time I did not have any credit but Micheal Meyers the car salesman that took me insured that I was definitely going to get a car no matter what, and guess what I did. The second time I came 2 car salesmen Chip and Micheal both helped me get a car despite me having new credit. I absolutely love my new car too and gave me a really good and fair deal. I would 10/10 recommend this place. They also offer plenty of snacks and water for free! The finance are also good but unfortunately I forgot their names
It was a great experience at Suntrup Nissan..Our dealer Chrip(uncle) you are awesome at dealing ,friendly n helpful..Thank you for providing great customer service. You are awesome and made my day with my new car. Thanks alot😃😃
Chip was a great guy and helped get me the car i wanted. Definitely would recommend going to see him if you want to get a great deal on a car. Never felt pressured or that we weren't getting the best deal possible.
Chip is a God amongst men, sold me this beautiful car for a great price. He was super friendly and worked with my credit even tho it was a little rough.
Chip was great to work with. He is a man of his word and easy to work with. He answered of all our questions with ease. Outstanding salesman! Would recommend!
Chip was easy and great to work with. We came from over 3 hours away so most of our dealing with Chip was through emails and text messages until the day we came to test drive the vehicle and purchase. The vehicle was exactly like pictured and described. We love it! Would recommend Chip and the dealership.
Buying a car has always been a stressful experience until now! Chip made it so effortless and the welcome was like coming home to family after a long day! We came for my son and now I will never go anywhere else to buy a car to meet my families needs. My son left with his dream car and I left with the knowledge that when I'm ready to trade in that I will be taken care of here! Thank you so much for making our experience one of a kind!
Chip was a great salesman! I would and will recommend everyone I know to this dealership. Super helpful and awesome customer service! Thanks for everything.
We had an overall great experience! Everyone went above and beyond to make sure we left happy. My mother and I both bought cars! Highly recommend becoming part of the "Suntrup family!"
I am very pleased with my experience. I have a great salesman that is my go to guy at Suntrup! Chip was incredible through the process, he made it simple and very pleasant. I feel like part of the Suntrup family.Chip is simply the best car salesman I have ever dealt with.
I enjoyed buying a car from this dealership because of how professional everyone was and all the workers had the same priority which was the buyer. Also because of how easy going everyone there was making the overall experience great.
Chip put in a lot of work and dedication finding us a car. We were very particular and choosy in what car we got for the price. Chip was patient and helpful and got is the car we love.
We loved our experience with Suntrup Nissan, and specifically Chip Kearney when we bought our 2018 Rogue, that when our second vehicle died out, we knew just who we wanted to call to help us find a new vehicle! Chip welcomed us with a hug and once again, was incredibly helpful! He never pressured us and waited patiently for us to decide between a few vehicles. As the buyer, Chip focused his attention to me and did not just 'assume' since my husband was present, that he was the purchaser. In the end we decided on another Rogue! We can not thank Chip enough for his kindness and welcoming attitude. When you buy from Chip you really do become "family".
Chip was fantastic! The process of purchasing a car can be intimidating but he made it easy for me. From start to finish it was a laid back fun experience. I left knowing I got a great deal on exactly the car I wanted. I will absolutely recommend Chip and Suntrup Nissan in the future!
Best darn team salesmen and finance department, I've ever dealt with! Highly highly recommend them! Skip and Tony S. are great! Place was packed with customers, yet the sales team still made me feel like I was #1. Amazing how awesome they made the experience.
Chip was great! We were looking for a car for my son. He made the process easy, and had the perfect car. Everyone at the dealership was friendly. Would definitely recommend!
Chip was awesome in getting me exactly what I wanted. He took care of every aspect of the sale of my new car. If any of my family friends or clients are in need of a car, I will send them to Chip at Suntrup Nissan! Love my 2019 Nissan Rogue SL💕
Chip Kearney helped us make the purchase of our new car a wonderful experience. He is so positive and easy to talk with! It was a pleasure working with him! This is the second vehicle we have purchased with Chip and he will always be our "go to" guy! You are lucky to have him! The rest of the staff that work with Chip were extremely nice too! Steve Anders in finance explained our options perfectly! We have been buying cars from Suntrup for over 30 years and will continue to do so as long as they continue being so customer oriented! Thanks to Chip for going the extra mile!
Chip was a wonderful salesman, he was very attentive and was very helpful through the entire process. He made the entire experience very pleasant with his excellent attitude, definitely would recommend seeing him if you're in the market for CPO vehicle
This is the 4th vehicle we have purchased from these guys. They are friendly and go out of their way to make the car buying experience a breeze. They know their stuff and bend over backwards to get you in the car you want.
Can't say enough about Todd Roth & his team. Chip took great care of me. I love, love, love my new car! I'd give them 20 stars if I could.
I had several questions about the warranties and options that I wanted to go over before I even looked at a car. Chip took the time to answer all my questions before he even showed me a car! I did not feel any pressure and I wasnt rushed. The whole process was relaxed and enjoyable. I love my Rogue. I highly recommend Chip. He knows his stuff and took the time to find out what we wanted.
There is a reason Chip Kearney is a Top Salesman (Aside from the desk full of awards) Professionalism mixed with friendliness that you'd definitely want in a salesman. I've been to other dealers where it seemed the salesman was trying to sell me whatever would look best on his commission check; this is absolutely not the case with Chip and Suntrup Nissan. I knew my situation would be challenging but he listened, walked me through my options and together we found the car that would suit me best. Afterwards, I sit down with Armin Hidic. There was always this "If I get approved" looming over my head, but Armin made short work of it. Despite my difficult financial situation, He was unstoppable. Every time a complication would arise, he knew a solution. Finally I was financed, I stayed in budget, and I have the perfect car for me. At the end of it all, Chip said: "You're part of the family now" which tied the bow on the whole experience. Suntrup Nissan. "Home of the Family Deal" Ask for Chip, you won't regret it.
This was our 3rd vehicle to buy from Suntrup. We had a seamless purchase with Nathan. He never pressured us and everything was straight forward and simple. We highly recommend Suntrup and will refer our family and friends here.
Kyle was accommodating on finishing up our paperwork quickly for a new Murano and very personable and easy to talk to. Very likable and friendly, thorough and explained everything in detail. He seemed to really care.
Bought a car in beginning of August ,like the car but we still waiting on paperwork so we can title car. Why are you selling cars off your lot when you do not have title? Have made car payment on car we cant even legally title. Our salesmen and loan officer very nice but We just do not understand the wait.
I was met with a warm smile that immediately made me feel comfortable. Chip was extremely knowledgeable and so helpful. He made the whole process so easy. The price was excellent and they even gave me a trade in that was much better than I had expected. In fact - we were the last customers of the night and they never made us feel rushed. I will definitely be recommending this dealership to all my friends and family! So if you are looking for a new or used car- Suntrup Car Dealership is who you need to go see- they know how to take care of their customers and ask for Chip.
Chip was very helpful and made sure I got a good car to take home, and made sure that I was well taken care of.
I want to start off by saying I absolutely detest the car buying process BUT, Chip Kearney made purchasing a car as quick, stress free and flexible as possible. As a veteran with PTSD, situations that cause anxiety tend to be avoided at all costs, this includes buying a car. Not only was Chip EXTREMELY respectful to my lady, made an excellent recommendation based on the feedback we had given him, AND was flexible enough to accommodate my fiance and I's very busy and very opposite schedules, but he also took the time to go over everything. Me being 'the man' had to ask all of the questions that "I needed to" to feel safe that my lady was making the right decision. Chip took this in stride and not only answered EVERY question I had, went above and beyond to answer questions I hadn't even thought of. All in all, Chip made the experience a memory rather a moment and I look forward to doing business with him in the future. Finance was quick and to the point and Kyle and Steve were awesome. This has truly been the best car buying experience to date and I have you guys to thanl!
Chip not only listens but makes it fun! You are truly part of his car family after the sale! If you need a vehicle he is the one to see!
Kyle made the whole car buying experience very comfortable and easy. He was very knowledgeable on the cars we looked at and got me into the perfect vehicle fire me!
Everyone not just my salesperson, Chip Kearney, was very friendly and helpful. They really worked hard to help me get financing . To find the best, most practical car and to get me into it quickly. Trying to find the right car can be an overwhelming experience for someone who doesn't know much about buying a new vehicle, not at Suntrup Nissan.
Everyone was super nice and helpful even though it was right at closing time! I appreciated the ease of the process. I was impressed with Nathan who showed me the bells and whistles of the Nissan Altima with patience.
Joe is friendly, knowledgeable and a great communicator! He found the car I was looking for and went all the way to Bloomington, Illinois to bring it right to my home! He even got the best leasing price in town. I had called other dealerships first and asked if they would be willing to bring the car to me so I would not have to come into the dealership during this pandemic. I was shocked by how many said they would not work with me unless I came to them. Joe said he understood my concern and would be happy to work with me. He said he didn't have my dream car, the Mocha Murano with Cashmere interior, in stock but he assured me he would do whatever it took to find it and bring it to me and then he did! This was my first time leasing a car and Joe and Adela were wonderful about explaining all of the details. I highly recommend Joe and Suntrup! I absolutely LOVE my new car! Thank you Joe!
Joe, Staphen, Adela, and staff are always friendly and knowledgeable! Thanks for my 2nd purchase. Definitely will be back for my third! Thanks for the followup Joe!
Rick was very knowledgeable in explaining the features of the Nissan Rogue to us. He was patient, low pressure and answered our questions. Rick shared that he was a recent 30 day hire to the sales staff at Suntrup. This did not stop him from handling our requests asking for assistance when he wanted to assure us that we made the right decision to purchase a new car from Suntrup. Rick was assisted by another Suntrup family member to make sure our needs were meet and they kept our business. We left Suntrup feeling we had selected the correct dealership for our new 2020 Nissan Rouge. Very satisfied with the Suntrup sales department.
I really appreciate the staff at this NISSAN location. The fact that I just leased my 3rd car here speaks for itself. This week I met with Brad Hotop. He is a newer sales associate but seemed very knowledgeable already - he was very helpful in searching within my budget to make sure my new car would be affordable yet exactly what I was looking for. He was also friendly and relatable which made the process for me very simple and easy, which is a big help because I know the car buying/leasing process can be very taxing. I would highly recommend Brad for anyone coming in to the showroom looking to find the car of their dreams. Thanks again!
Thanks to Joe Dawidouski and Dan Lincoln for a great experience! I'll never go anywhere else for my next new Nissan as long as those two are there.
The two most impressive things were the speedy processing of everything. No waiting for hours to get information and prices. The second was the high level of personal service. They stayed with us through the whole process. No bring left in a cubicle wondering what's happening.
Very friendly. Will recommend to friends to buy cars. Got a good price on car and got good deal on new car 🤠👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Thank you very much
I just bought my first Nissan Rogue from Joe Dawidouski and Daniel Linton and they were fantastic. They were very knowledgeable about the Rogue. Joe showed me all the ins and outs of the car. It's very reassuring that Joe drives the same model of car. Daniel made the financial part very easy for me. Joe and Daniel we're both great and I will be letting everyone know how great they are. Thank you both.
Joe worked tirelessly to get me a good and fair deal. I am pleased with the work he and the whole Suntrup team did for me....they're simply the best!
I walked into the store and Joe greeted me with his usual smile. He had sold me a VW several years ago. He asked me what I wanted, so I told him. Five minutes later he found the Nissan Armada that best fit my needs We talked about money and he came up with an amount that I considered reasonable. Then I talked to Dan Linton, who had also sold me the Nissan Armada that I had previously owned, about arrangements to pay for the vehicle that I was buying and an extended warranty. That situation resolved, my wife and I bought the Armada. Both gentlemen did a great job putting me at ease and made it a pleasant experience to buy the vehicle. After the sale, Joe, and Nadja Becirovic gave me a tutorial, explaining the different features of the Armada and helped me get started with the Nissan Connect feature. Both took the time to make sure that I understood the functional aspects of that system. Over-all, I had an excellent experience purchasing this vehicle.
The dealership was great. Joe was really nice to work with and Eric the general sales manager was extremely helpful and a genuine pleasure to deal with. Thanks guys:)
I have been one of Joe Dawidouski's perennial customers for six years. I have personally as well as referred others who have purchased and/or leased several vehicles from him The consistent and vehement gratitude expressed by all of his customers centers on one trait: the finest customer service in the business!
I just bought my second car from the Suntrup Nissan Volkswagen dealership, and for the second time it was a great experience. Joe was my salesperson and he was polite, informative and did not make me feel pushed or rushed in the purchase process. I got a fair price on my trade in and a very good deal on the Pathfinder. I would recommend this dealership to friends.
Absolutely outstanding customer service!! I cannot thank Joe enough for working with me to get the vehicle that is right for me. He went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy with my purchase and made me feel like family. Everyone at Suntrup Nissan was so helpful and kind and they really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. I would recommend them over any other dealership around!

Our Environment And Our Health
[National: Op-Ed]
With the infiltration of bus depots in our neighborhoods and the construction of dirty air polluting power plants in our communities, it should come as no surprise that one in four minority children in parts of New York City like Brooklyn are inflicted with asthma.
Walking the streets of Brooklyn, I hear and see the pain felt by residents at the beginning of the month when they open their electric bills. This past week alone it was announced that another electricity rate increase is almost certain and will leave residents paying an additional $60 per year on average for electricity.
And this is on top of a rate increase that just went into effect. As asthma and electricity rates continue to rise in our neighborhood, the need to promote a comprehensive energy plan for the metropolitan area becomes clearer and clearer
each day.
As the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Energy & Telecommunications, I continue to strongly advocate that reforming New York's energy policy is a crucial component to insuring the health of our families and community. New York City violates federal clean air standards, and as a result the rates respiratory conditions such as asthma in Central-Brooklyn are quadruple the national average.
Despite New York City's second highest-in-the-nation residential and commercial utility rates, innovative approaches to
lowering energy costs for consumers have not been mandated. And my legislation to safely site the power plants throughout the state still awaits approval.
In order to determine an energy and environmental future for Brooklyn that includes clean air, reduced rates of childhood asthma, and affordable, lower utility bills, this debate cannot solely be held in the legislative halls of Albany. We need energy and environmental discussion to be held in every portion of our community as well.
Environmental issues need to be discussed from the pulpit and in the pews. Education and information needs to flow from tenant association and community board meetings. We need this dialogue in our schools and in our homes. It is only when we embrace the totality of the energy and environmental issues that face us, and recognize that this issue stretches across
the spectrum and includes health care, economic and political empowerment concerns, will it take its rightful place at the top of a new progressive urban agenda.
Helping raise the consciousness, my office has partnered with the NAACP Brooklyn Branch, Medgar Evers College, SHARE, and the American Democracy Project to co-host a Community Forum focusing on Brooklyn's health, energy and environment. On May 17th at Medgar Evers College, we convened distinguished leaders from the medical, environmental, academic and civil rights fields to outline a significant and impressive urban environmental agenda.
In every block of our community, a mantle of energy and environmental leadership awaits to be seized. Elevating our urban environmental agenda onto the national stage will be a challenge. It is a challenge that is welcome and one that we will, and must, overcome.
State Senator Kevin Parker represents the 21st Senatorial District in Brooklyn. He is the Ranking Democrat on the Senate Committee on Energy & Telecommunications.

Emergency personnel responded to a motorcycle accident just before noon Tuesday on Taft Avenue north of Eighth Street.
The motorcycle rider was southbound on the road when traffic slowed down for a car turning west. After passing cars in the left lane, the rider tried to change lanes, saw traffic in that lane was slowing down and changed lanes again. He lost control of the motorcycle and either fell or was thrown off, according to Loveland police.
The bike continued, striking a northbound car and then sliding into a fence on the east side of the street. The motorcycle driver, who was not identified, was transported to McKee Medical Center with unknown injuries that were described initially as non-life-treatening. He was wearing a helmet.
Lanes of Taft Avenue were closed about an hour while investigation and cleanup occurred.

By Carey Gillam
March 3 (Reuters) - Growing crops free from contamination by genetically modified crops and the pesticides used on those biotech versions is getting more difficult and more costly for U.S. farmers, and new government rules to control contamination are needed, according to report issued on Monday by an environmental organization and an organic food group.
Based on information from 268 farmers from 17 U.S. states, the report said more than 30 percent of farmers seeking to grow organic crops reported that unintended GMO presence has been found or suspected on their farms, according to the report by Food & Water Watch and the Organic Farmers' Agency for Relationship Marketing (OFARM).
The report comes as the U.S. Department of Agriculture is taking public comments on a plan for "enhancing co-existence" of non-GMO and GMO crops. The public comment period ends March 4.
Farmers trying to grow non-GMO crops have to take many steps and spend sometimes several thousands of dollars to try to protect their crops from the GMO crops that have become pervasive across the United States, the groups said.
"The risks and the effects of GMO contamination have unfairly burdened organic and non-GMO farmers with extra work, longer hours and financial insecurity," the report states.
Industry proponents of biotech crops had no immediate comment on the report, but have stated in the past that they are supportive of efforts to try to maintain separation of non-GMO and GMO crops, but they see economic losses as individual private risks.
The level of contamination of non-GMO crops by GMO crops is an area of concern because some foreign buyers of U.S. crops will not accept genetically modified versions. Some domestic buyers also want only non-GMO. Contamination can cause financial loss when buyers reject loads that test positive for GMO presence.
Last summer, an Oregon wheat farmer found an unapproved type of biotech wheat developed by Monsanto Co growing in his field. Some foreign wheat buyers temporarily suspended purchases of U.S. wheat because of fears of contamination of their shipments.
Separately, a Washington state alfalfa farmer had a load of his alfalfa rejected for export after it became contaminated with a commercially approved type of biotech alfalfa also developed in part by Monsanto.
The USDA has said it is investigating the wheat contamination but not the alfalfa case. The agency does not track reports of contamination of non-GMO crops by GMO crops approved for commercial use, according to USDA spokesman Richard Bell. The agency only tracks that information when the contamination is connected to a biotech crop not yet approved for commercial release, he told Reuters.
Food & Water Watch is calling for USDA to start tracking and analyzing incidences of contamination and associated economic losses at all levels of the supply chain. And the group also is asking for USDA to require GMO crop growers to create buffer zones between their fields and non-GMO farm fields, and hold biotech seed companies financially accountable for losses associated with GMO contamination.
Monsanto introduced genetically modified crops in 1996 and since then many companies have been selling a range of genetically engineered crops that resist Roundup herbicide and fight off harmful pests.

Steakcraft: Carbone's Porterhouse Combines Old and New Steakhouse Traditions
Behind the scenes of New York's premium dry-aged steaks. An in-depth look at the aging, cooking, and presentation of New York's premium dry-aged steaks from beef expert Nick Solares.
Steak Fact Sheet
Cut: Porterhouse
Grade: USDA Prime
Breed: Black Angus
Dry Aged? 60 Days
Pre-Cooked Weight: 40 oz.
Price: $150
Price per Ounce: $3.75/p>
Broadly speaking, there are two principal steakhouse traditions in NYC. The first, and oldest, is a fine dining model established by Delmonico's, America's first fine dining restaurant and creator of the Delmonico steak. The second springs from the beefsteak dinners of the 19th Century—fraternal gathering where groups of men, be they trade unionists, members of social clubs or criminal enterprises, would gather to eat massive amounts of steak and quaff gallons of beer. This style of dining gave rise to the steakhouse model best exemplified by Peter Luger in Brooklyn: a stripped down, beer hall aesthetic where gruff, masculine waiters hurl sizzling platters of steak at you.
Mario Carbone and Rich Torissi combine both traditions in their porterhouse for two at Carbone, their West Village restaurant. Carbone is a homage to the grand Italian American restaurants that arguably reached their zenith in the mid 20th century. This is at least where the menu stopped evolving and became cast in stone and vodka sauce. I consider Carbone to be the highest expression of the genre and the steak is no exception.
Carbone uses a USDA dry aged prime Black Angus from Creekstone Farms. The steak appropriately comes from Italian-Amercian butcher Pat LaFrieda, who ages it for 45 days. Carbone then age the steaks in-house for an additional 15 days to further intensify the flavors. The steak is presented in its raw form tableside when ordered. They do the same visual inspection with their fish, something that plays into the restaurant's theatrics, but also its sense of pride in its ingredients.
At the time of presentation the guest will be given the option of having the fillet removed and served as tartare for an appetizer, an option that is both unusual and inspired. The filet tends to cook more quickly on a porterhouse because of the relative size difference to the strip side of the steak. By removing it and serving it raw, Carbone offers you two different preparations of the same piece of premium meat, and in my opinion maximizes the flavor of the fillet, especially given its prodigious aging.
Order the tartare and things get even more referential. Like most everything on the Carbone menu, the classic form is given the technicolor treatment. The diced beef comes served on a bed of Bernaise sauce, an homage to both the raw egg of the classic dish and the sauce that you might have with your steak at a classic steakhouse, like the aforementioned Delmonico's for example. Since the egg is on the bottom, Carbone uses melted coins of bone marrow to top the dish.
The remaining strip is left on the bone and cooked over both coal and a regular gas grill. The grills are side by side in the cramped kitchen, and the steak is alternated between the two; the gas grill with its more consistent heat output is used to sear and reach the correct temperature. Meanwhile, coals infuse the steak with a smokiness that is not only evocative of pre-regulation steakhouse cooking, but also the old country itself. When I asked Carbone about why he chose coal and not wood he dryly replied that his last name translates into coal, and that his ancestors, likely coal minors, would be pretty upset if he didn't honor the vocation. In an acknowledged tribute to Peter Luger's. the steak is sliced and served in a sizzling platter with an anointment of butter and, in another nod to Italy, olive oil.
The resulting steak is both familiar because of its presentation and technique, but also—thanks to protracted aging and highly specialized cooking methods—an exaltation of the form.

Check your charity
Consumer Reports offers guidlines for giving to charities
The holidays are often a perfect time for us to give some money to our favorite charities.
We like to do good deeds during the "giving" season, and it's not a bad time to rack up those tax write-offs. Before you write that check, or take out your credit card, you might want to do some checking on the charities you select.
Consumer Reports has come up with some quick, simple steps that can help everyone get the most of your money.
1. Verify the tax-exempt status of the charity. Confirm a group's tax-exempt status by going to irs.gov and searching for "exempt organizations select check."
2 .Give directly. If you're contacted by a professional fundraiser for a charity you want to support, give directly instead. Fundraisers often take 40 to 80 percent of the proceeds.
3. Check the privacy policies of the charity. Will they sell your contact info to other groups? You can ask them not to share your info, and you can also ask them to limit how many appeals they send you. Either way, be aware of their privacy policy and make sure you're comfortable with what will happen after you make that donation.
4. Be on guard for soundalikes. Some low-rated charities choose names that resemble those of high-rated ones, more reliable groups.
Check with The Watchdogs
Those are some steps you can pretty take by yourself, but if you want more in-depth information there are three major charity watchdogs: Charity Navigator, CharityWatch and the BBB Wise Giving Alliance.
They rate charities on several criteria, such as how they spend their money, privacy policies, and more. However, Consumer Reports says they use somewhat different criteria and don't always agree, so check out a charity with all three groups.
Only CharityWatch requires a donation for full access, although it provides useful information without one. Also, the groups usually don't rate religious organizations, although you might find some listed, especially if they solicit money from the general public.
Regional BBBs are your best bet to learn more about local charities. They have evaluated about 10,000 local groups; the reports are available through the Wise Giving Alliance.
So, be careful and then be as generous as you can be!

With high hopes and the need to deliver, TNA moved back to the Impact Zone to host their Victory Road extravaganza. From the beginning it was easy to tell that TNA knew this was a crucial event, as the show started off hot and didn't give itself a real chance to cool off. With an excellent flow and a series of shockers, TNA certainly delivered and scored a "victory" of their own.
Victory Road began with the 10-man X Division Gauntlet Ultimate X match which saw the re-formation of Triple X, as Elix Skipper and Senshi helped Christopher Daniels capture the Ultimate X and earn a shot at the X Division championship. From there, VKM was able to topple over The Bashams and Lance Hoyt, even scoring a victory over Christy Hemme with the debut of their newest member, Roxxi Laveaux.
James Storm and Rhino provided the first full-fledged brawl of the event, as both stars tore down the Impact Zone, breaking walls and beer bottles in the process. In the end, a beer bottle to the face of "The War Machine" was enough to put him away and leave him prone to a post-match beer bath courtesy of Storm and Jackie Moore.
In what was a solid tag team encounter, The Motor City Machine Guns squared off against Jerry Lynn and Mr. Backlund. Lynn and Backlund stood their ground and weren't intimidated by Kevin Nash's new crew, giving the youngsters a run for their money. In the end, it was Shelley and Sabin's dastardly double teaming that proved to be the difference, giving them the edge over the wiley vets.
The Eric Young/Robert Roode feud rolled along, as Young teamed with TNA Knockout Gail Kim to face off against Roode and his "Cheif Executive Offender" Ms. Brooks. After a series of miscommunications, Ms. Brooks was finished off by Gail Kim and subsequently dismissed by Roode, while Young and Kim looked on in amazement. After Brooks made her way to the back, Young ran back down to the ring and pulled down Roode's tights to expose his pasty rear-end.
Chris Harris was out next, looking to make an impact as he stepped in the ring against "The Instant Classic" Christian Cage. Harris showed resilence, overcoming several of Cage's cheap tactics, but interference from Tomko, AJ Styles and the returning, Dustin Rhodes, helped Cage walk away with a win. However, Styles and Tomko would be paid back for their actions, as the unlikely duo of Sting and Abyss bulldozed their way over the Christian Coalition.
Finally, the main event stage was set, as Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe joined forces to put the TNA Heavyweight and X Division titles up for grabs, against the TNA Tag Team Champions, Team 3D. 3D played mind games and hinted at dissention, only to come back stronger and nearly capture some more gold. After some back and forth action, Rick Steiner came out and drew Brother Devon to the back, while Scott Steiner made his return, cracking Brother Ray with a lead pipe. Joe went for the pin, but it was broken up by Angle, who went for the Olympic Slam, only to have his leg swiped by Joe, who made the cover on Ray and picked up the TNA Tag Team championships.
TNA Hard Justice 2007 is set to take place on August 12, 2007.
TNA Victory Road 2007 Results
Match One - Ultimate X Gauntlet Match To Determine The Number One Contender To The TNA X Division Championship - Jay Lethal vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Puma vs. Homicide vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Petey Williams vs. Shark Boy vs. Elix Skipper vs. Kaz vs. Senshi
The X Division is part of TNA's bread and butter. It's one of the things that makes TNA different in a positive way. This was a good way to kick off Victory Road and provided some early excitment. It was interesting seeing Homicide by himself, with Konnan gone it should be interesting to see what TNA does with LAX. This one had an unexpected ending, as Elix Skipper and Senshi teamed up to help Christopher Daniels capture the Ultimate X. A post-match celebration showed that the three are back together and Triple X reigns supreme.
Winner Via Grabbing The X - Christopher Daniels
Match Rating - 8/10
In the back, Jeremy Borash caught up with Team 3D who said that Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle were going down. Brother Ray and Brother Devon each agreed that they were going to do what they had to do. Leticia was with Samoa Joe who said that he didn't trust Angle, but he was going to make sure he walked out victorious. Mike Tenay and Don West did a nice job hyping Victory Road some more, while Leticia found VKM, who promised that a new member would be brought out to help offset Christy Hemme's interference.
Match Two - Basham and Damaja w/ Lance Hoyt and Christy Hemme vs. VKM (BG and Kip James) w/ Roxxi Laveaux
Roxxi Laveaux was introduced as "The Voodoo Queen." For those who are interested, Laveaux is actually northeast standout Nikki Roxx. This match wasn't anything special, after a mess up by Lance Hoyt, VKM took control and marched their way to victory. After the match, VKM laid out Hoyt and allowed Laveaux to hit a Dominator on Hemme.
Winners Via Pinfall - VKM (BG and Kip James)
Match Rating - 6/10
Jeremy Borash was with Kurt Ange in the back who said that he had backup and he was ready to "Shake and Break."
Match Three - James Storm w/ Jackie Moore vs. Rhino
Moore was ejected before this one got underway. This was pretty much a brawl, which is something Rhino and James Storm have become well known for in TNA. Rudy Charles even ate a clothesline in this one, which allowed Storm to use his beer bottle to perfection, cracking it over the head of Rhino and busting him open. After zoning in for the pin, Moore came back out with a beer keg and a Polaroid camera and took pictures of Storm spraying beer in Rhino's face. This was a well done bit and something that certainly helped their feud.
Winner Via Pinfall - James Storm
Match Rating - 6.5/10
Leticia was in the back with Jerry Lynn and Mr. Backlund who said that they were going to give Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin a lesson. Backlund went crazy and started ranting as Lynn and Leticia looked on. They did a recap of the feud, leading to...
Match Four - The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) w/ Kevin Nash vs. Mr. Backlund and Jerry Lynn
Shelley and Sabin are excellent together. This was a great encounter, Lynn showed once again that he can still hang in there. With any luck, TNA will continue to recognize the potenial of Shelley and Sabin and put them in the TNA tag title picture, they certainly deserve it. Sabin and Shelley were ultimately able to overcome the big experience differential and pick up the win.
Winners Via Pinfall - The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin)
Match Rating - 7/10
Kurt Angle was with Jeremy Borash as they searched around for backup. Angle found Jay Lethal in the bathroom and when Lethal turned down Angle's request for help, Angle went ballistic and destroyed him. They recapped the Eric Young/Gail Kim/Robert Roode/Ms. Brooks saga, leading to...
Match Five - Eric Young and Gail Kim vs. Robert Roode and Ms. Brooks
Kim and Brooks have improved tremendously. Thankfully TNA is giving them their chance to shine. This was a good match, but the Roode/Young feud seems to have run its course. Young and Kim showed great teamwork and were able to overcome the corporate duo, only for Roode to go berzerk on Brooks and get his pants pulled down by Young. Roode proceeded to flop around as Young and Kim took off and Brooks looked on.
Winners Via Pinfall - Eric Young and Gail Kim
Match Six - Christian Cage vs. Chris Harris
This was a great back and forth encounter. Tons of near falls and close calls. Cage really did help in elevating Chris Harris who has been on a roll. Tomko and Styles attempted to interfere, but it was ultimately Dustin Rhodes who caused Harris to lose, after cracking him in the back of the head with his own handcuffs. Rhodes and Harris should be a pretty good feud if given the proper attention.
Winner Via Pinfall - Christian Cage
The Sting/Abyss/AJ Styles/Tomko feud was recapped. In the back, Jeremy Borash was with Sting and Abyss. Sting was happy that Abyss was finally coming around. Abyss chimed in and mentioned that it would be Doomsday for Styles and Tomko.
Match Seven - Abyss and Sting vs. AJ Styles and Tomko
This one was very good. AJ Styles took a beating in this one, getting tossed around all over the Impact Zone by "The Monster." Sting had Tomko down in the Scorpion Deathlock, but Styles was able to hit Abyss hard enough off the ropes to knock him into Sting and break it up. Tomko eventually fell victim to a Black Hole Slam that gave the unlikely duo the win. Afterwards, James Mitchell came out and said that Sting and Abyss better celebrate while they still could.
Winners Via Pinfall - Abyss and Sting
Match Rating - 7.5/10
The Match of Champions was hyped. Kurt Angle was shown coming from his lockeroom, he made one last attempt to get backup, asking Serotonin, but they too denied him. He then beat them both down and continued out to the Impact Zone for...
Match Eight - Match of Champions - Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe vs. Team 3D (Brother Ray and Brother Devon)
This was a great main event that lived up to the hype. Team 3D outsmarted Joe and Angle, by teasing dissention and allowing them to fall victim to an offensive onslaught. The Steiners returned in full force, with Scott taking out Ray with a lead pipe. Joe and Angle fought over the pin, with Joe taking out Angle and covering Ray for the win. The Steiners/Team 3D feud should be good, while the Joe/Angle feud continues to to reign supreme.
Winners Via Pinfall - Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle (Samoa Joe defeated Brother Ray to win the NWA Tag Team Championships)
Overall Event Rating - 7.5/10
Chris Sokol is from Long Island, NY and would once again like to congratulate Nikki Roxx for making it to TNA.

While the tools have changed a bit, little about the book management process has altered in the last 30 years. The advent of new risks, increased automation, and predictive models has made underwriting an increasingly complex function. Portfolio management needs to evolve to provide management with the insights it needs to manage this complexity. Underwriting organizations need to be able to sense, assess, and respond to the market faster to produce superior underwriting results. This report looks at some of the questions insurers need to ask themselves.

A local school district is responding to allegations of discrimination against a transgender first grader.
Officials with the Fountain-Fort Carson School District released the following statement about Coy Mathis:
"The parents of Coy Mathis have filed a charge of discrimination with the Colorado Division of Civil Rights. They have chosen to publicize this matter by appearing on a nationally televised show with their child, sharing their point of view with national and local media, and holding a public press conference to announce the filing of the charge. The District firmly believes it has acted reasonably and fairly with respect to this issue. However, the District believes the appropriate and proper forum for discussing the issues identified in the charge is through the Division of Civil Rights process. The District is preparing a response to the charge which it will submit to the Division. Therefore, the District will not comment further on this matter out of respect for the process which the parents have initiated."
A Fountain family tells 11 News their transgender 6-year-old is being discriminated against at Eagleside Elementary School in Fountain. They are now taking legal action against the Fountain-Fort Carson School District.
Coy Mathis was born a boy, but now lives life as a girl.
"When she was about 18 months old and started to talk, as soon as she was able to, it was that she was a girl and she liked girl things," said Coy's mom, Kathryn Mathis.
Coy is now in first grade. She was going to Eagleside Elementary School, where she was treated as a girl and used the girls' bathroom.
"After she did transition and was able to live as a girl, her true self, the difference was amazing. Her anxiety went away, the depression went away, and she was finally happy," said Mathis.
The family then got a letter from the school district. It stated in part that because Coy was born a male, "at least some parents and students are likely to become uncomfortable with his continued use of the girls' restroom."
"That's just not a safe environment for her. It sets her up for harassment and bullying," said Mathis.
Coy is now home-schooled along with her brother and sisters.
11 News talked to some parents in a nearby neighborhood. Most of them didn't want to talk on camera about the controversial issue. 11 News talked to one mom who admires the parents for sticking up for their child, but ultimately agrees with the school.
"From a parental standpoint, I think the school district did the right thing," said Candance Toscano.
11 News has put in several calls to the Fountain- Fort Carson School District have not been returned. As soon as we hear from the district, we will let you know what they say.
The family is holding a news conference in Denver Wednesday to talk about the issue and what their family is going through.

The behavior of just a few molecules of hydrogen peroxide in your cells could give you cancer. But scientists have difficulty tracking individual molecules emerging from your body. That changed last weekend, and could transform cancer treatments.
A group of researchers at MIT have devised a sensor made from carbon nanotubes and collagen, which can track single molecules of hydrogen peroxide as they leave any cell. A release from MIT explains, "When the nanotubes come in contact with . . . hydrogen peroxide, their fluorescence flickers. By counting the flickers, one can obtain an accurate count of the incident molecules."
The group performed their experiments by looking at the interaction between hydrogen peroxide and a cell receptor called EGFR, which involved in cell growth. It is believed that hydrogen peroxide is involved in the cell growth process as well, including when growth goes awry in cancers. Early results seem to bear this theory out, since the researchers discovered elevated levels of hydrogen peroxide molecules in skin cancer cells.
Chemical engineer Michael Strano, who worked on the sensor, said it could in the future become a common diagnostic tool. He said, "You could envision a small handheld device, for example, which your doctor could point at some tissue in a minimally invasive manner and tell if this pathway is corrupted." In other words, you could use a future version of this sensor to figure out if your cells were emitting too many molecules of hydrogen peroxide - and possibly stop your cancer before it has a chance to start.
