This is Not a Good, Legal Way to Make Money: Pit Bull & Cock Fighting

Get involved in cock fighting and dog fighting and you may end up being shot at, dead and incarcerated. Such was the circumstances of Thomas Weigner who was found shot to death after his prized pitbull had won or devoured another dog for $100,000. As reported by Associated Press reported Paul Newberry, this story sheds light on the underground world of dog fighting for huge sums of money and the people who are involved in it.

Being a dog lover, I could not not finish the story without taking my eyes off the page. It was horrible to consider what happened to these creatures. Fortunately, The Humane Society, a group of animal-loving people, was trying to investigate.

Despite the fact there are laws prohibiting cock and dog fighting in many states, many individuals continue to breed and raise these animals for these purposes. Some consider dog fighting as a sport. When investigating the shooting death of Weigner, investigators heard the name of Michael Vick, star quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons, from Pittsburg, Atlandta, Dayton, Ohio to Ecuador. They seized on the lead and raided a Vick-owned home in Surry County, Va, as part of a drug investigation involving a cousin of his. The investigators were not ready to find what they uncovered. "Sixty-six dogs, mostly pit bulls, were seized, along with evidence of an organized fighting operation: treadmills rigged up for training, "break sticks" used to pry apart the powerful jaws of fighting animals; blood-soaked carpeting, veterinary medicines for treating wounds and "rape stands" used to restrain female pit bulls during the breeding process."

It is worth nothing that Vick denided any wrongdoing. The drama did not stop there. Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis tried to defend Vick's right to be involved in dog fighting by saying, "it's his property. Portis ended up apologizing after fans started protesting his comments.

In all the states, dogfighting has been known to be a recreational activity for gang members. For example, the Fresno Bulldogs are being watched by the Fresno Police department to stop them from engaging in these illegal activities. Chief Jerry Dyer is not playing games with them either. John Goodwin of the Humane Society of the United States state that up to 40,000 people are involved in dogfighting contests for prize money.

Dogs that are involved in fighting are scarred for life. Those who are involved in it use elaborate means to conceal their activity. After Weigner was killed, authorities found his dog kennel where 26 dogs were being cared for. They continued to comb his property and found more than 300 pit bulls. They also found birthing places to take care of the prized litters.

People or neighbors should know the signs of animal cruelty according to North Caronlina at College of Veterinary Medicine: Punctures and lacerations from teeh, unusually on the face, neck and forelimbs. If you lose your dog, it may be used as a "bait dog" for the training pit bull to devour in order to learn to kill.

Donald Trump Wants Fresno's Running Horse Golf Course for $25 Million

Running Horse Golf Course fell on hard times. It went into bankruptcy. It has to renegotiate the 6-year contract with PGA which has announced that a golf course in Florida will host the upcoming tournament. The tournament will be played in Port St. Lucie in Florida according to the Palm Beach Post. Donald Trump is ready to shop in the Fresno Area. Anybody willing to sell to him?

If Trump takes over the project, he will do so free and clear of all liens. That is what he wants. So a lot of creditors will lose beaucoup money. Obviously, Trump will want conditions to take over this project. Many creditors see the potential of the deal. Some agree to lose some money and hope that the billionaire will bring business to the community. Unless somebody else offers money, Trump may have some good cards.

What will happen to Running Horse if Trump does not offer more than $25 million? Many people see only mud and tall grass. The West Side of Fresno will continue to need redevelopment projects.

iPhone Buzz Is Huge: Fans and Admirers Want To Be First to Own Breakthrough Tech

The Internet frenzy has already started around this breakthrough tech gadget, the iPhone. So far, many people are trying to be the first to own it in their circle of friends. Apple's iPhone is the biggest thing that will come. Why? It is a true breakthrough product -- the combination telephone-web browser-digital music player to be launched on June 29 in the United States.

So far, many groups and individuals are even begging to be able to get one. Web sites and blogs are just about the iPhone. They have become the iPhone central. There is no better advertising than grassroots one. That is what Apple's Jobs counts on once his new baby is brought to the market in the months ahead. The iPhone will deliver on its promises. " The iPhone promises to bring together all of the newest portable technologies in one pocket-sized personal unit: mobile phone, camera, web browser, music and video player."


AT&T is the sole Telecoms carrier authorized for the iPhone. It said that the phone system will be on sale on June 29, 2007. In addition to blogs, you will find websites such as buymeaniphone.com, everythingiphone.com, and many others with the word iPhone.

When is a Good Time To Refinance?

The first thing you have to do is to evaluate the cost against the benefit of refinancing. You need to understand that while refinancing fees tend to be steep. If that is the case, refinancing may not be the best option at the time. No kidding that depending on the time, there are hefty fees that are often attached to refinancing.

Refinancing would not make sones unless you can get a better dea. Refinancing should not look a another loan. Keep in mind that many mortgage experts such as Jack M. Guttentag, Professor of Finance Emeritus at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and founder of GHR Systems, Inc., a mortgage technology company, will tell you that the safest choices are conventional fixed-rate mortgages or hybrid adjustable mortgages with long periods of stable monthly payments. He will also remind you that the great benefits of homeownership is building equity and wealth. That means that the more you pay down, the more your equity will increase. In other words, if you refinance every two or three years, you never get to build that equity. It is as if you were renting if did so. The purpose of homeownership is defeated in that sense.

Proper Use of Credit Cards Avoid Headaches Later

DaysAgo, a new digital day counter that attaches to food containers and other items that need smart tracking. If you want to find out more about this product, go to www.howmanydaysago.com. DaysAgo was developed, invented by Kathleen Whitehurst and Debbie Stephens Stauffer from California. DaysAgo has distributors in Canada, Sweden, and United Kingdom. The sales started going up when the California women, Whitehurst and Stauffer appeared on the Oprah Winfrey's show. They have been swamped with orders since then.

Proper Use of Credit Cards Can Avoid Trouble Later

Have you been drowning in credit card debt? Have you made all kinds of efforts to pay your credit card debts? Or have you been cutting down any credit card offers you receive in the mail?

It all depends on how many credit cards you want to carry around. Even though credit card companies have scaled back their reward, credit cards are convenient. They can save you time and money. Well, we are not too sure about saving money. In the old days when check-writing was the law of the land, we had time to ponder a purchase. It would take time to write a check and mail it out. Now all it takes is one quick swipe, and you have your products. If you have had some card deals lately, you can search these sites to find out how well you have been doing. Check www.cardweb.com, www.cardratings.com, www.lowcards.com.

Any way, what can you do to avoid going into debt if you have to use a credit card.

Make sure you record the amount charged in our checking account checkbook each time you charge a purchase. Otherwise, you will not be sure how much money you have in your bank account on the due date. Some people check their online account or call the bank to find out. In these cases, some checks or charges may have not been finalized.

As much as possible, use one or two cards. Make sure you do not cancel your first card. You will need credit history. Do not cancel unused cards right away. If you keep doing that, your credit history may suffer. Just keep in your mind that credit cards have promotions just to lure you in. They have all kinds of great programs in the beginning. Once they have you on their thumbs, or get you hooked, they take the benefits away. That is why card rewards are so low these days. Reward programs existed to get you to get into the habit of using credit cards for small purchases. For example, charging your fast food purchases at Burger King and Warner Co. jewelry etc. was the idea of the companies. In reality, there was nothing in it for you, consumers. Now, remember that each time you use your card at a business, the credit card company gets a kickback from the business. It could be as much as 3% of the purchase price. So by using their cards, you are helping the credit card company make some money.

Those are some of the prices to pay to be part of this cashless society. Which one is better? Cash or plastic? $ Millions are spent on convincing us, consumers, to throw away our cash and start being cool and adopting the convenience of plastic. Who stands to benefit from this change of financial attitude? The big card companies stand to win. They have led and financed campaigns to make our old ways look uncool and make us adopt plastic or credit cards instead of cash. Lo and behold, we tend to spend more when we swipe instead of writing out the check. The companies know they will be able to make more money this way.

Student Loan Companies, Colleges and Universities Receive NY Attorney General's Inquiry Letter

New York Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo is sending letters to colleges and universities from Boston to California. He wants to know about the nature of the relationships between colleges and universities and loan companies. The question to ask is whether these two entities are conspiring to push tuition costs to the point where education becones unaffordable to many young men and women. It is worth nothing that private student loans have become a very lucrative and fast-growing business over the years. All the while, tuition costs at many colleges and universities have soared. Who stands to benefit from the hidden relationships between Universities and Colleges and those loan companies? Until now, many families and students go to these centers of higher learning only to get taken advantage of.

NY Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo wants to know more details about the preferred-lender lists. Most colleges and universities compile these lists to offer to students. But nothing is said about the nature of the relationships between the school and the loan companies. What is in it for the schools? The Federal Education Department is thinking about regulating this side of the business. It is requesting more transparency. The students must know whether these institutions stand to make money in the deals. Private student loans may have their days counted. Mr. Cuomo has also demanded information from both loan companies and schools. "My office is seeking to ensure that students are being steered toward lenders offering the most competitive rates, not t hose who offer the best perks to schools of financial aid administrators," said Mr. Cuomo.

The Superbowl: What's in it for The Regular Joe?

What's in it for Little Guys Like Us: Nascent Efforts to Include User-generated Content May Solidify True Fans' Base

The most anticipated football event came and went. It was Indy vs. Windy in the sloppiest game played in swirling rainfall in Florida. The Indianapolis Colts played a smart game despite the opening return by a Chicago player. Peyton Manning and the rest of Indianapolis stayed calm under frustrations and tried to capitalize on all the turnovers caused by a slick football. Coach Tony Dungy and his staff knew that their guys had the heart to win this last game. At the same time, Peyton Manning felt or breathed signs of relief when his team took the lead from Chicago. What to remember about the day is that it was the first time in the history of the league that two African-American coaches took their team to the pinnacle of the football games. Chicago's Coach Lovie Smith is a good friend of Coach Tony Dungy whose son was lost to suicide last year. Both coaches are Christian. Without any doubt, they were proud to represent the league and their organization during what has been celebrated in this country as Black History Month.

There were other issues brewing in the league. While bars could have large screen where patrons can watch the games, churches could not have such a luxury. In fact, NFL lawyers sent many reminder and cease and desist letters to particular churches that wanted to show the game on large screens during their fellowship on Sunday morning. Others heard of the letters and decided to bother such a powerful organization that has been removing fans' video clips from the likes of Youtube, LiveDigital, Revver, and others due to copyright regulations. While we are at it, The NHL, NBA and other leagues are doing the same thing. Just like network shows that do not want their fans to post clips on these video sites, the richest league on the earth is banning such postings.
