Mobile Phone Review : Sony Ericsson Z750i
The Sony Ericsson Z750i was announced toward the end of Q1 2007 and it marked the Japanese-Swedish company's foray into the HSDPA market. At this time, if you're thinking the Z750i looks familiar, it is. In fact, you'll be hard pressed to find any major differences between the Z750i and the earlier Z610i. .

Bob Kravitz: Sports Q&A
Question: Lets assume for a second you don't think much of Sampson. Although I look forward to your provocative articles, I think your assault on Greenspan is a little over the top. Everyone makes mistakes (you've admitted to some), and I'm sure he'd like a do over on this one too. But he has brought direction and enthusiasm to IU athletics in total, and I'm sure he's learned from this mistake. When he extricates IU from this mess, as he will, could you relax just a bit? -- Bob, Bloomington Answer: What are we telling students about accountability here? Greenspan was the AD when Sampson was hired. Now he's gotta pack his bags and hit the next Greyhound next, right behind Sampson. I don't see the gray area. Question: My Kravitz, your job should be to report the news not tell people how to conduct their business as this is the business of Indiana University not yours.
Circus denies its use of animals is ‘cruel’
If their ears are pricked forward that's the sign for them being happy. I'd far rather a horse be there than some of the sorry half-starved states that the travellers leave in fields that aren't even theirs. Un-groomed, un-shod and no bridle or saddle and like I say half-starved. Stupid over-zealous people. Try looking at areas that need more attention like these foreign zoos or clubs that keep lions in the tiniest of cages. .
How to Spot the Next Hot IPO
VMware is pioneering virtualization software. FCStone provides risk management services to commodity traders. In short, you are unlikely to see these five companies rubbing shoulders at any particular industry trade show. So what ties all of these hot issues together? It isn't necessarily pent-up market demand. Yingli shares actually fell by 5% on its first day of trading. Redemption came after investors flocked to the shares as a way to play the hot -- literally and figuratively -- sector of solar energy. Sometimes a hot IPO shows its winning ways right away, of course. Longtop Financial (NYSE: LFT) went public at $17.50 last year, soaring 70% higher on its first trading day. A hot financial IPO in a subprime-shaky 2007? Yes, but this is actually a software company providing enterprise solutions to the banking industry in China.
Brogden: 'I regret that I succumbed to this temptation'
A Burlington businessman accused of using cars and other properties to launder drug money pleaded guilty Thursday morning to money laundering charges in federal court. Kevin B. Brogden, president of Brogden Cars Inc., which operates a car dealership at 1784 E. Webb Ave., Burlington, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to launder money, money laundering by concealment and two counts of concealment of property. He appeared before Chief Judge James A. Beaty Jr. in the U.S. Middle District of North Carolina in Winston-Salem accompanied by his attorney, Todd Smith. In exchange for his guilty plea, the government "will not oppose a motion to dismiss" the remaining five charges Brogden had originally been indicted of: three counts of money laundering by concealment and two counts of structuring transactions to evade reporting an amount greater than $1,000.
