The Reality Check: IowaHawk Reports - SantaCorp Pleads Case For Bailout
IowaHawk Reports - SantaCorp Pleads for a Bailout.
WASHINGTON - Flanked by officials from the United Elf Toytinkerers union, SantaCorp CEO Kris Kringle today told the House Ways and Means Committee that without immediate government financial help, his firm would be forced to declare bankruptcy, lay off thousands of elves and reindeer, and potentially cancel its annual worldwide Christmas Eve toy delivery.
"These are grim economic times for everyone, but even more so for non-profit toy manufacturers in the Snow Belt," said Kringle. "Our accountants have indicated that we are on track to exhaust our reserves of cash and magical pixie fairydust by December 23. Oh deary me."… You really need to read the rest over here!

Skating News: Follow Up PR is Very Important for Skaters Returning Home
Tonight Dr. Doug and I met some of Team USA’s skaters (Joey, Nikki and Derek) returning home. Other than losing my parking ticket… oh the embarrassment! We had a great time meeting up with everyone!
I’m just going to put this out as a reminder–
Now that the skaters are coming home from World’s, it is very important that there is follow up media releases sent to their local media outlets about their trip to World’s . This is especially true with the media who covered their appointments and gave them pre-world’s coverage. Reporters love closure, so why not give that information to them? Whether you won or not… it does make it easier to get coverage next year!
The best spin to put on your story is to talk about the value of the experience, exposure to the international stage of competition, new cultures, the opportunity to travel, and how the IOC is looking at our sport– Make it a positive point of view.
No remarks about the politics, judging, floor or garbage that could affect a reporter in going negative.
Also if you had fund raisers, make sure the donors are personally thanked by letter, with a little follow up and a photo. This creates good will for next year.
Should anyone need a hand– feel free to email me. I have some standard idea forms which work.

Skating News: 2008 World’s in Taiwan– That’s a Wrap!
(Edited) Ok as we say in LA– That’s a wrap! World’s 2008 is in the history books.
A thought Post World’s: This World’s has introduced Taiwan to the sport of Roller Figure Skating. We can hope that the people of Taiwan will embrace and help us grow our sport in their country. Next year when the World Games comes to Kaohsiung, we hope the skaters are met with the same large audiences who supported this years skaters of the world as their guests.
As all of us in skating know this World’s has created history and controversy. It is the nature of this sport, just as it is in Figure Skating. The floor conditions in Kaohsiung were worst on record. However it affected every skater, and they did everything imaginable to correct the problem. While many of us are disappointed the competition was not webcast, it may have been in our best interest as a sport it was not, especially with the IOC considering Speed Skating as an Olympic Sport.
On the personal side, I ask that everyone embrace our Team USA, both the Junior and Senior Teams with the understanding that they did their best and encourage them to continue to grow in our sport. It is no doubt they learned more lessons in Kaohsiung than they ever learned in their local roller rink.
That’s it for now. Have a great Thanksgiving Weekend! Feel free to send your views and comments to me. I welcome your opinions, both public and private. Mary Lu

Skating News: 2008 World Mens Singles and Combined Finals
Sorry about the delay on this tonight. I "thought" it had been put this newsletter into the publishing hopper, which validates the newsletter and sends it out. For some reason… it didn’t.

Skating News: 2008 Worlds WC Senior Pairs Finals & Dance OD Placements
And now a moment from our sponsor…
Sorry again tonight for the delay. Getting placements is tough and especially when we (in the USA) don’t have bodies on the ground in Taiwan who is completely computer literate or a decent wireless connection in the venue. At this point we are sharing a few people who act as our "media pool" at World’s. Hat’s off to Jayson Sutcliffe and Nigel of Australia for the help! The German’s still have not updated the score sheets online. Here’s what we have to date. A number of the events will skate their finals tonight.
So here we go again…

12 Chien Chia-Seng & Wang Szu-Yu TPE
Just for the amusement of my readers I am posting one of the pictures of the rhinestones that were embedded in the floor during the emergency coating the other night at the venue. What you see here is a size 42 rhinestone. There were literally dozens of these embedded into the floor. I was told there were enough stones removed from the floor that you could respectably cover a medium sized women’s dance costume.
Reports are still telling me that the floor is still slicker than ice. The sticky Blue Roll-line wheels aren’t even holding. The "cocktail coating" is only lasting about 50% of the events– and as you could see the schedule shows they aren’t re-coating it before every event.
As I am posting this the Men start their Short Program, Women skate their Long Program, and Solo Dance skates their Free Dance. When our media boys get us the information, we will post it directly.
Little FYI: Jayson Sutcliffe still has his connections running to send HERO Messages (Good Luck Messages to us mates.) Feel free to use this site to get messages to Team USA. Jayson makes sure they get printed out and put up for all the skaters to see and read!
