and bobby d wrote in can't do anything about it. it's a residential area. that's what bobby d. but debra counters 234 essex they have parking lots and shuttle cars that take residents to areas. but a lack of parking spot shouldn't end up with someone being murder neared absolutely not. we know that we want to know what you think about this story. so, definitely weigh in. you can leave your two cents on the facebook fan page at wmara abc2 news and leave a comment and we will share them throughout the show. >> before we go to weather, tell everybody what happened around patterson park. >> on saturday, on eastern avenue, probably around 2 in the morning, they started towing cars on one side of eastern avenue. and a lot of people who lives there who parked their car there that night said there was no sign warning them and i don't believe they put them in the lot but it charged residents money but people came out and said where's my car. so i. think it's a situation where you know the city can try to do better. >> there you go. all right. let's see if we can do better with the weather. >> here's justin. >> hopefully you had a chance to drive your car and park it someplace north this weekend with that sunshine. watch this time-lapse from manchester yesterday. and i wanted to show you this. beside the fact we had a cloud to be found and a sunny day you can see the hint of color off in the distance. off the field and we are seeing that in baltimore county north carroll county and clawson through southern pennsylvania where we have a range of about let's say 30 to 50% of the colo change in the trees and cool nights and mornings will help accelerate the leaf turning process. manchester is at 53 degrees. and we are looking at nice warmup at least this morning with clear skies. notice the clouds high clouds building back to the west. and this is in advance of the next weather system and high pressure is current in control but sliding off the coast and making way for this next weather system. a thin little ribbon of moisture working its way from chicago to just south of detroit and cleveland and northwest of pittsburgh. this thing is going to ride the upper level wind in the direction and we expect to have ourselves the increase in clouds that will gradually dim out the sun late through the day and moisture from this system will try to work et cetera way in here after midnight and towards daybreak tomorrow. otherwise, that's it. not a well organized system. but tapping into cool are air. did you miss out and maybe not hear what happened on friday and saturday? the first snow of the season. mount washington by sundown had 5 inches of snow and 90-mile-per-hour winds. currently at 18 degrees and deep freeze up there in the high country of new hampshire and chilly air extends across the southeastern canada and back in through the western great lakes for international falls and one of the chillier location in the lower 48s. 28 degrees this morning. it's 40s from hip a tries green bay but we will tap into the cool air as temperatures return to normal. compared to 76 in town yesterday and we spend a few more days in the 60s. and that's where we belong. clouds later today and tonight will give way to moisture and there's the ribbon of rain from baltimore north and through southern pa. 3:30 daybreak tomorrow a little wet but the afternoon is going to dry out. next weather system rides along a stalled frontal brownedry and impulses hit us wednesday and thursday keeping temperatures in check as well. for today, check it out with the two degree guaranteed high of 67. a mostly sunny sky but the clouds that do mix in will gradually dim out the sun late in the day. probably after about 3 or 4:00 and showers after midnight towards daybreak at 48. and tomorrow's not going to be a washout but it will be a morning rain a in the afternoon probably dry but we will cool with mixed clouds and 6 3. check out the rest of the forecast for the week and all important weekend outlook in the next half-hour. >> well, we left it all on the living room or ballroom floor. we creamed against brady and belichick but couldn't scream loud enough for them to cake field goal. nothing can be said to ease the pain except for this. at least we are not living in dallas. after new york, pittsburgh and cincy and new england on the road. and the drive was not bumpy at all. joe flacco led them down the field. 81 yards only to stall for three. a new england score, the ravens come back flacco hitting heath ravens up 10-7 at the half. no one noticed the close call because they didn't hit. but then brandon hit heath helmet to helmet and heath was down and gets back into the game. in the third quarter, flacco who had become the all time leading passer in ravens history find boldin and almost another chance for ravens had to settle for 3. ravens 20-10 and you are thinking i will see you at work tomorrow. but hold on, it took tom brady five years to find deion branch across the coast to take over for randy moss. 20-17 and the ravens have another chance. but on a third down and inch call the quarterback sneak doesn't work. brady setting up the tying kick gets into it with sudden over the length of his hair and women. but here's the play of the game. may have been this punt a 65-yard punt giving field position back to the pats. they got help from mcclain who shoved at wrong time. brady gets the ball back and again, hits branch. snap, kick, and good. 35 yards out ravens lose this one 23-20. >> little disappointing. it's tough when you are up and you think you have a game won and have opportunities to close it out and then you go into overtime and given a couple opportunities and don't get it done. so, yeah, it is a little disappointing. i feel like because we felt like we we were right there to win the game and you know just didn't capitalize enough. >> if i give outschedule back in august and said we would be 4-2 at this point you would take that right? >> absolutely. >> so what are you worried about. >> i like to worry. >> all right. buffalo at home this sunday and we are faferred by 72 in that game on sunday. >> 72? >> yes. stay with us. coming up, taking out a mortgage or getting a loan to buy a car a big undertaking. >> coming next, your credit score play as role in determining the interest rate but what if your score needs work to get you the best rate?

indications to look further. >> let me ask you what does a learn difference diagnosis mean. >> it means you learn differently and we all learn differently. according to the institute of literacy they are saying between 30% and 50% of the population have some form of a learning difference and i don't want to call it a disability. >> population. >> because think about it. how many people you know you wouldn't ask direction for if your life depen on it i know one of my friends i would never ask direction. the difference is it's not interfering with the school work. the only time a learning difference really takes on a life of its own is when a child is struggling in the classroom. and remember, it's not a disability. we call that to get the fund from the federal government. in order to help but aid learning difference. what it means is your child just learns differently. they can go onto college and go on succeed. many people who have some form of a learning disability or difference are biggest models of the world. think about them albert einstein where would we nob so you've learning difference and it's like you are compensating and take training wheels off and what with you do newspaper believable. remember the only learning difference to the institute we created called school. they are not learning difference for the real world and they get out and see the world differently and they develop things and creative and most ceos in america if you check it's one of the interesting statistics. big ceos have some form of a learning difference. >> there you go. there

plan this is what we want to do. if your child is struggling in school, you, the parent, need to become the advocate for the child go into school and figure out what is going on. >> and the earlier the better. >> that's common sense the earlier we intervene the better results we see. >> let's say you are junior in high school and get caught with some learning difference. parents will be 50-50 say why didn't you catch it recally and then you know what thank goodness you caught it now we know why. >> many students that we don't see until 9th or 10th or 11th grade and they are so great because they learned to beat the system and learned to work the system and learned how to deal with teachers and tend to have very good personalities and very good social skills and in 10th grade they hit the wall and realize this child has really a problem let's say with working memory. >> isn't it finding the strength of the child. >> absolutely because wherever there's a difference there's a strength. and good education regardless of whether we are talking about learning differences or not should focus on building strength and young adult strength because that's what they need. >> that build confidence. >> thanks, sir. >> thank you. >> megan. >> all right. he always has great advice. >> he does. >> thanks, guys. we want to go back to your two cents on today's hot topic a park space

honor survivors and have a great celebration. and last year, we had over 6,000 walkers. >> i think we were chatting about it during the commercial break. think pink has been adopted by the country the white house is lit up pink and it's been wonderful but we have to keep on moving. >> tough keep on moving most definitely. and the reason is we need to make sure that we are advocates for our health and there's people out there that are very uncomfortable about talking about breast health and we have to say no, it's okay. let's talk about it. let's make sure we talk to our doctors about it. we get our screenings when necessary and so, we have to continue to the movement for a long time. >> that's what make strides is all about. >> yes. it is. >> you mentioned survivors. you have to hear incredible stories of people who show up and have just really, really inspiring tales to tell. >> well you know, those that have is been touched by breast cancer personally is unbelievable to hear

but there's actually a shortcut to take if you are look for a rapid improvement. debra davenport stumbled over a great deal on a house and knew she wanted to buy. but she wanted something else, too. >> i was looking for the best way to get on a mortgage. >> reporter: she wasn't a big fan of the interest rate offer when the mortgage company saw her credit report so she went to credit expert for advice on how to bum. score up in hurry. pay off a credit card and she owed 500 bucks and it was not a bunch money but because the card limit was only 700, it ruined her credit to debt ratio with had a direct impact on the score. >> just by paying that $500, and now putting that card in to a zero balance, it lowered my raceos. >> reporter: but she couldn't wait for the payoff to be reported to the credit agencys. and that happens every 30 to 45 days and she had the lender request a new rapid rescore. >> rapid rescoring is he essentially a unscheduled update to the information on your credit report. >> reporter: mortgage lenders hire outside companies to do a quick update. >> if you pay off a credit card or pay off a collection for example, then, through the proselves rapid updating, they can have that information reflected within 24 to 72 hours. >> reporter: and that can make all the difference. >> it can take someone that's not qualified right now and get them to that credit score level where they can qualify for a mortgage on it might be able to get them to level where they will be able to qualify for a better interest rate. >> reporter: once you've done what it takes to fix the accounts, your loan officer or broker can request the rapid rescore and comes with a price. generally around 30 dollars for each account for each bureau so an update on one card could be $90. and it may not improve the score enough to get lon approved but it worked for davenport on more than just her mortgage. >> i am able to get better rates on other cards and other types of loans even my car loan recently. i was able to get a very low rate because the score is higher than it would have been. >> reporter: into it's available through a lender or a broker. so watch out for companies that market directly to consumers. sometimes the score involves an error which requires dispute which you will need to hp resolve. megan. >> all right. thanks, jamie. carl comes in to give us great advice on mortgages coach carl tell everybody what your dot der. >> my liliest one never scored a goal and she scored one goal and aided the second. >> she scored 2. >> two. >> i am glad i wore sunglass because i welled up on the field. >> good reason to cry. we said last week that it's constantly changing, how are you keeping up with the change because you have to advice people. >> to the point you made a joke about how teams -- it's moo of i have to be part therapist and part attorney which don't practice legal advice but i have a network of people and lawyers and financial planners and case in point we had a client that was ready do buy a house and kept putting off for -- kept offering homes and were rejected and put in an offer and a home where they have to buy the house but need the money to fix it up. so,. >> what's the -- >> after two or three renovations loans. since the date they made the aust program guidelines changed from a 50% to a 45% debt ratio and they were at 46.2. not that far off, but can't get it approve. so we are going back and forth and couldn't use the husband because he was self-employed and took a loss and i said how to make it work. can i lower the interest rate i couldn't get that low. just doesn't exist to make it work. it's a small loan amount. the other is bring another $20,000 to closing to get the loan amount enough to qualify. not going to work. it's remembered earlier conversation the husband mentioned that the wife was there three years and works her tail off and they kept promising a raise and called the wife and said would you mind if i talk to your boss and said what about i said i am going get you a raise and i said knock yourself out. called the boss and asked to meet me and explained here's where we are and she needs a raise in the scheme of things not that much and explained not too often do we make a difference in someone's lives but this case, for a raise he admitted he was considering giving her she would now qualify for a house and imagine how much more loyal this person would be and hard are she would work to give her raise but enabled her to become a home owner. it's all the daunting obstacles are front of you and it's first home and you are near the end and the programs change again. so it's like a therapist and in this case it was like a yob consultant. >> yes. >> and he agreed and they are getting the house so it's one of those things where the mortgage officers used to be just order takers and take the information and anyone got approved. now with the constantly changing rules and guidelines, you have to be up on more than mortgage rules and we try to make sure we have a litany of different professionals to call upon and say here's tax return i am not fully understanding it. so a lot of my time is talking to cps wondering why it's recorded this way and a number of things to figure out and help clients out. but it's important nowadays because it's key weep hearing rates are at an all time low and few people qualify. tough know what you are doing and old i was don't work anymore. >> that's great storey. and we have to go -- should every person do that and should you look for that when you are hiring somebody to do your mortgage for you. >> i think people look for the lowest rate. if you don't get it you've wasted time and rates may be higher. so you have to look for experience and credibility and reputation in this market. that's the primary three things to look for not so much rate. they can quote you a rate but if you don't get it, what does it matter. >> thanks for coming in. he comes in every monday so you can leave an e-mail at morning show at wmar.com. and go by your daughter cheese cake or something for that two goals. >> definitely. >> listen. about you let your
