Give your attic a breath of air
Winter weather can find every weak link in a house to create drafts and raise utility bills. So how dumb is it to purposely let cold air into an attic or crawl space? Not dumb at all -- in fact, it's essential, and a component of each of the four building code systems in the country.

Chances for happiness Beth Anthony hears Mike before she sees him. In 1997 she is a new teacher at Berry Elementary in North Charleston. She's spent more than a dozen years working in some of the county's toughest schools. But she can't ignore the piercing screams and tears of this little boy curled under the cafeteria table, even as everyone sitting around seems to be doing just that.

The boy's clothes are filthy and he has no socks. "Hey, Mike," Beth coaxes. "I'm new here, and I need your help. Could you show me the way to the parking lot?" Silence. Then, Mike's sobbing subsides and he reaches for Beth's outstretched hand.
