MASSILLON, Ohio (AP) An Ohio high school football team that�s had a live tiger cub at games for decades has kicked off the season with its traditional mascot, even though the boosters haven�t proved they�d meet stricter state rules for keeping exotic animals.

The Independent (http://bit.ly/1Enxzng ) reports that boosters for Massillon�s Washington High School displayed a cub in a cage at Thursday�s game against Perry. Club president Matt Keller wouldn�t say where the animal came from or who paid for its appearance, and he says it would be premature to assume the tiger will be at future games.

New rules were adopted by the state after a suicidal man released dozens of dangerous animals in 2011. A Department of Agriculture spokeswoman tells The Associated Press the Massillon boosters haven�t provided all requested documentation to prove they�d meet those rules.

Ridiculous Ways to Save Money #1

Image
There are many ways to save money with some being more practical and reasonable than others.  This list contains some of the most ridiculous money saving tips: 1. Use public restrooms Why flush your cash down the drain when you can save cash by using a public or work restroom?  By not using your own toilet, you�ll save about 1.5 to 4 gallons per flush depending on the age of your toilet.  If this isn�t a viable option and it�s an emergency, at least consider not flushing when it�s only number 1.  If it's yellow, let it mellow.  If it's brown, flush it down. 2. Shower at the gym In the spirit of saving water at home, take advantage of your expensive gym membership by showering at the gym.  As an added bonus, you�ll also be able to cut back on shampoo and soap purchases. 3. Apply makeup for free at a store This one is for the ladies.  Once you�ve showered at the gym, you�ll probably want to enhance your appearance with some makeup.  The cosmetics in...

9 best cash back credit cards

9 best cash back credit cards When you shop with your credit card, you can earn cash back for your purchases.  I personally prefer cash back credit cards since I can use the cash for whatever I want vs. a rewards card that forces you to use it in specific categories (i.e. travel).  I use the Fidelity Investment Rewards American Express Card , which offers 2% flat cash back on all purchases with no annual fee.  The chart below contains the 9 best cash back credit cards.  I haven�t included Annual Percentage Rates (APR) below since you should always pay off your credit card in full each month and that should not be a factor in choosing a card.

Are you stepping enough each day? Too few steps could cost you.

The FitBit Flex Most of us wake up in the morning, walk to the kitchen to prepare coffee or breakfast, get in the car, drive to work or school, sit down at our desks, walk to lunch, return to our desks, drive home, prepare dinner, and sit down at the television before going to bed.  Think about your day and how much you walk around.  If you�re lucky, you might clock 4,000 to 5,000 steps a day with this routine.  Many of our modern conveniences reduce the need to be active, and we�re paying a heavy toll.  The Disney movie WALL-E drove this point home. There�s more to net worth than just money As a pure definition, net worth is just about the value of your assets less your liabilities, but I�ve always believed that building a large net worth and living a healthy lifestyle are closely related.  When you live an unhealthy lifestyle, such as when you smoke, drink excessively, exercise infrequently, or make poor dietary decisions, you�ll lack the energy and the driv...
