PORT CHARLOTTE -- On Sunday, Meikah Heaton will be 6 months old. That she'll reach this milestone on Mother's Day is a special blessing for her mom, 18-year-old Michaela Morse. For her first Mother's Day, this young local mom has only one wish: "(For) my daughter to get better." But for that wish to come true, she's going to need a lot of help. And time is running out. Little Meikah suffers from biliary atresia, a congenital disorder affecting her bile duct, liver and small intestine, according to the infant's pediatrician, Dr. Ben Helgemo, of Helgemo & Liou Pediatrics in Port Charlotte. Her liver is failing and the persistent threat of infection means her life is at risk every day, Helgemo said. Without a liver transplant, he said it's doubtful Meikah will survive very long.

Myth #4 Negative Items Must Remain For 7 Years...That's sheer and utter balderdash. Even so, consumers hear it every day when they telephone creditors directly: "Sorry, by law that has to remain on your report for seven years." The next time you hear that, know this: The automaton posing as a customer service representative is either spreading lies or ignorance, neither of which is good for your fiscal or mental health.Sure, creditors want consumers to believe the lie because they can charge higher rates of interest to those who have nasties on their credit reports. As far as they are concerned, the longer the stuff remains on consumer credit reports collectively, the larger their profits. The truth, though, is that nobody is required to report anything about any of us for any minimum l... 03/06/2009

 Oh Twitter how I love thee! Let me count the ways...Although you might not hear those exact words said very often online, you know it's true when you login to your Twitter account or visit someone's blog.The question posed by Twitter, "What are you doing?" has become almost as popular as AOL's "You've got mail." So much so that it has even caught the eye of offline news mediums such as USA Today, CNN, and ABC. This helps to make the application popular all on its own.Twitter, twitter, twitter...Everyone is asking What is Twitter? How do you use it?

 Marketing Tip:   The micro-blogging social media phenomenon called Twitter is raising cash via one or more venture capital firms that places the company's value at $250 million. According to TechCrunch "sources," Twitter execs have been trying to get such a valuation with hit or miss interest, by pointing to its almost-merger with Facebook, which was going to pay $500 million for it. But while the site already is venture capital-based, it has had the industry scratching its head in terms of how to monetize it, since advertising models don't readily apply themselves to the service. That said, ComScore says Twitter's traffic flow increased five times, to 5.57 million, year over year as of September. Review:Twitter has add substantial traffic to my websites.

The automatic Autoresponder has been getting a bad reputation for quite some time. It is lumped in with bad practices like spam and cold calling, but it really doesn't have to be. The problem is that many autoresponders have been abused.  Unscrupulous internet marketers have gathered valuable e-mails, names, and phone numbers using free courses as bait, only to later sell that information to people who would flood your e-mail with unwanted offers. This was never the intent of the autoresponder and it doesn't have to be this way. You see, most of the advice on using autoresponders has been to manipulate people instead of helping them to learn. Use Autoresponders to Help People Learn   Autoresponders can actually be quite helpful when used with good intentions. For those that have abused ... 02/28/2009

The 100-word statements can only harm the consumer. First, as we've discussed, such personal statements are essentially never read by potential creditors anyway since the credit score is the usual qualifying determinant. Second, those statements only make it more difficult to embark upon a credit repair effort later because they serve to confirm what's already there. So, for example, let's say a consumer attaches a statement that reads something like this: "These late payments were made only because I was suddenly laid off (or sick), but that unfortunate situation changed very quickly, and we have never been late with this or any other account since."   That may sound responsible, but unfortunately it says only this in reality: "NOTE: yes I really was late paying these accounts. Plus I'... 02/24/2009
