Rupert Murduch Attacked During Hearing

Where is the security for a public hearing? Instead of making Murduch a bad person, it actually will gain some sympathy on how he has handled the hearing.

Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul under fire for a growing phone-hacking scandal that has upended his empire, admitted to British MPs on Tuesday: "Today is the most humble day of my life." 
The billionaire News Corp. founder and his son James testified before a committee of Parliament investigating the scandal, which has escalated in recent weeks to include allegations of bribery and corruption and forced the resignation of top officials at News Corp., Scotland Yard and even the office of Prime Minister David Cameron.

The Right Times to Check your Credit Report

A lot of us only check our credit reports once a year. We wait for one full year before we request for a copy of our free credit reports. This way we need not worry about the payments and charges for having multiple copies of our credit files.

For others, they only check their reports when they need to seek credit lines. They only bother to review their credit records so that they can negotiate lower rates and higher credit limit on personal loans and credit card programs.
