| Michael Vick Surrenders, Jailed Before Sentencing on Dogfighting
The order filed in U.S. District Court said Vick was taken into custody Monday "based solely on his desire to begin his period of incarceration prior to his sentencing hearing and not because of violation of any condition of his bond." In an e-mail sent to the AP, the U.S. attorney's office confirmed Vick's surrender but declined further comment. Vick's troubles began in April when authorities conducting a drug investigation of a cousin seized dozens of dogs, most of them pit bulls, from a Surry County property, along with equipment linked to dogfighting. It's there that the dogfighting enterprise known as Bad Newz Kennels operated since 2001 on 15 acres of land Vick owned.

" Hallock, in the meantime, had contacted Dr. Levin and arranged to have Brenda transferred to Duke. "In 10 minutes, it was a done deal," Bob says. This all happened on Thursday. Brenda doesn't remember anything about her first four days in the hospital other than waking up screaming in pain. She is able to remember part of her last three days at the hospital before she was flown out on a Med Corps Cessna on Sunday. "I ate soup," she says. "It tasted so good. I was starving to death." Bob left with his father to drive home on Saturday, leaving his sister to stay with Brenda until she was loaded onto the plane on Sunday.
A heaping helping of seconds and leftovers
This is your final "clip and carry" holiday shopping column. Preview the sales by checking Web sites for a glimpse of what each company is all about - usually, specifics about location and directions are provided. A few caveats: Note sale dates carefully. Some sales are for one day, others over one weekend, a week or longer. All sales are final; early birds typically see the best selection but have to endure greater crowds and longer checkout lines; unless otherwise noted, credit cards and checks are accepted. Giant Holiday Warehouse Sale I love this sale in Benicia; it's tchotchke heaven! I always leave with a box of gifties - those "minor" gifts that fill out your holiday shopping lists. The warehouse is filled with boxes of excess and discontinued inventory from fundraising companies (mostly school catalogs).
