Americas Watchdog Describes Counterfeit Drugs Or Cigarettes Purchased On The Internet As A Global Ticking Time Bomb For Consumers & The Actual Manufacturers Americas Watchdog and its Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants are strongly urging consumers to not purchase any type of pharmaceutical, drug or cigarette on the Internet, because the majority could be counterfeits or very poor quality knock offs. At the same time, Americas Watchdog and its Global Piracy & Counterfeiting consultants are urging pharmaceutical companies and cigarette makers to take the looming global counterfeiting disaster much more seriously. For those not understanding the scope of the problem, counterfeit drugs and counterfeit cigarettes is a hundred billion dollar-plus per year global growing problem. At some point, there will be a mass casualty from counterfeit drugs or cigarettes that could put at risk the future of the legitimate manufacturers, because they did nothing, or their attempts to combat counterfeiting were too little, too late or no effort at all. - 2008-01-07

With Millions Of Cheated US Homeowners, Americas Watchdog Demands Banks and Mortgage Bankers Dislose The Yield Spread Premium Kick Back On All US Mortgages Americas Watchdog and its National Mortgage Complaint Center are demanding immediate federal reforms related to a mortgage kick back known as a "yield spread premium" in order to protect all US homeowners. Americas Watchdog indicates that if US homeowners finally understand how much they were overcharged by a bank or a mortgage banker, there would be a national homeowners revolt. Americas Watchdog has called the current proposed Congressional mortgage reform a "pathetic joke," inspired by campaign contributions from banks, mortgage bankers & homebuilders, that will continue to hide the most outrageous mortgage fee for nearly all US homeowners. A "yield spread premium" is a kick back mortgage lenders get for inflating a consumers interest rate. Mortgage brokers are required to disclose this kick back. Banks and mortgage bankers do not have to disclose this fee, even though they get this kick back too. - 2008-01-07

HID Spotlights and Flashlights Go Green to Save the Environment The growing interest in energy conservation, global warming and "green" environmentalism efforts have made new technologies popular. High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights help protect the environment and offer a wealth of additional benefits to industrial, military and consumer markets. Due in large part to ultra bright headlights integrated into BMW, Mercedes and other luxury automobiles, everyone is learning about the unmatched power of HID lights. While HID spotlights and flashlights dwarf incandescent bulbs in light output, people may not know that they consume less than 50% of the energy of the common light bulb. HID lights also put out far less heat than incandescent lights. Moreover, HID lights often last several thousand more hours than comparably specified halogen lights. This dramatically reduces the landfill impact, since most HID lights last decades. On the other hand, most halogen lights are treated as consumable items and are discarded and replaced every few months. - 2008-01-07
