Nationwide Central Intake Facility
| Debt Account Operations Group
Private Counsel Program
The Debt Collection Management Staff (DCM) provides the operational, litigation support, policy and client support services, training, and reporting needed to facilitate the collection of debts owed to the United States Government.
The Nationwide Central Intake Facility (NCIF), located in Washington, D.C., is the central location at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) where Federal Agencies should refer civil debts for litigation and enforced collection. Referral packages should contain a Claims Collection Litigation Report (CCLR), a Certificate of Indebtedness (COI), credit data obtained within the past six months which shows an ability to recover from the debtor, and any other supporting information and material available. Information on referrals to DOJ is in the Federal Claims Collection Standards at 31 C.F.R. 904.
For more information download the Agency Briefing Guide or contact us at: email@example.com. Please DO NOT send unencrypted forms to this address. Contact us for instructions to protect Privacy Protected Information.
If you owe the government money and have been notified that your debt has been referred to DOJ, please contact the DCM Help Desk at (202) 532-5343.
The Debt Accounting Operations Group (DAOG) provides financial services for the receipt, disbursement, accounting, and reporting of payments received from and on behalf of debtors whose debts are being collected by various components of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The vast majority of the debts for which payments are received are referred to DOJ by other agencies of the Federal government. The primary means for the disbursement of debtor payments to Federal agencies is the Treasury, Intra-governmental Payment and Collection System (IPAC). DAOG also disburses funds to non-Federal recipients through the issuance of Treasury checks, or electronic transfers via the Automated Clearing House service (ACH).
If you are a non-federal entity (victim in a criminal case, relator in a qui tam case, debtor expecting a refund), and you need to inquire about your Federal payment, please contact the DOJ, United States Attorneys' Office, Litigating Division, or Private Counsel Office that is handling your debt.
Federal Agencies may contact the DCM-DAOG staff to request disbursement /accounting information for a debt referred to DOJ at email@example.com.
The Private Counsel Program (PCP) is the point of contact for law firms contracted to collect debts owed to the Federal government. DOJ launched the PCP following the passage of the Federal Debt Recovery Act of 1986 which first authorized the use of private law firms for this purpose. The PCP, part of the Debt Collection Management Staff in Washington, D.C., runs the program with oversight by the United States Attorney's Offices at the district level. The program is currently running in 19 districts nationwide with further expansion planned.

Constitutional Law
Retired Justice Stevens proposes this fix for the Second Amendment
Posted Apr 14, 2014 6:25 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Legislators rather than federal judges should be allowed to decide what kind of guns can be carried by private citizens, as well as when and how those weapons can be used, according to retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens.
Toward that end, Stevens is proposing a change to the Second Amendment to clarify that it applies only to citizens' right to keep and bear arms in state militias. He offers his suggestion in a Washington Post essay taken from his new book, Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution.
Stevens thinks the court misinterpreted the amendment in recent opinions finding a right to own a handgun at home for self-defense. The amendment reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Stevens would add five words to the amendment, so that it reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms when serving in the Militia shall not be infringed."

Wilder Side of California
the Best of California Wine with Doug Wilder
94-pointers from Barrett,
Emerson and Erickson | Issue 202
August 29, 2008
Check the latest posting of
my blog at Free Run Juice.
We are beginning to see the
wave of new release Cabernet-based wines building on the horizon
all indications point to a great vintage. There will be plenty of
new examples in this category becoming available over the next
couple months and you'll see many of them right here. All of the
brands today should be familiar; they have all rated 94 points at
Vinfolio. This is where the curve begins getting really steep,
since only about 4% of the wines I taste score higher than this. I
begin with the well-established 2005 Robert Craig Cabernet
Sauvignon Howell Mountain (VF 94+), now
being made by Keith Emerson (Vineyard 29, Emerson
Brown). The depth and power in this wine really set it apart. If
you haven't yet picked up your usual supply of 2005 Revana
Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (VF 94), then now is the time.
This Heidi Barrett-made wine has captured the
admiration of just about everyone who has come across it. We
re-ordered a few weeks ago and now the availability has been cut
off. The mere 2 cases we have is the last until the next vintage.
Recently I reviewed the Caduceus del Sensei from Maynard James
Keenan and gave it a solid VF 95-point rating. Why do I mention it
here? Simply because the source for the fruit is Pope Valley, the
relatively un-tapped far side of Napa County. Caduceus was the
second very impressive wine I tasted sourced from this area in the
past couple months, the other being the 2005 Phifer Pavitt
Cabernet Sauvignon Date Night (VF 95, WS 90).
These two wines have erased any pre-conceived ideas I had about
this region as a serious source for Cabernet Sauvignon. Try
them both to see what I mean.
Lastly, we are offering the remainder of our allocation from
Screaming Eagle winemaker, Andy Erickson's garage
wine, 2006 Leviathan Red Wine California (VF 94). We
began receiving a lot of calls for the previous vintage after
Leviathan was mentioned in a newspaper story recently. Like the
2005, the current vintage is a beautiful wine for near term
enjoyment. Nearly half of our allocation was gone as soon as it
hit the site. Don't be shy about this one.
Looking at the pedigree of the producers and winemakers first
reviewed here, I would be very surprised if all of these wines,
when reviewed, don't receive 90 points or above from the
Speaking of more great Cabernet Sauvignon - be sure to look for
the Vinfolio Fall Catalog arriving
in your mailbox in a couple of weeks. There is a brand new 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon I rated 98 points making
its official Vinfolio debut before showing up anywhere else!

Craig's ultra-premium winery is renowned for limited-production,
hand-crafted Cabernet Sauvignons from the mountains and foothills
of Napa Valley. A pioneer in the development of mountain sources,
Robert was involved with The Hess Collection in the 1980s before
embarking on his own winemaking project in 1990. The program
includes Affinity, a classic Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignon
blend, and powerhouse Cabernets from Mt. Veeder and Howell Mountain
appellations. These award-winning, structured and stylish Cabernets
convey a unique personality derived from the soils, climate and
varietal characteristics of each growing region. Robert Craig has
been a pioneer in Napa Valley mountain vineyards since the 1980s.
Founded in 1992, his winery is located at 2300 feet atop Howell
2005 Craig,
Robert - Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain
USA - California - Napa - Howell Mountain
Keith Emerson's first
vintage is showing a very concentrated nose of olives, figs, red
currant and blackberry jam Has a beautifully polished palate
redolent of violet, lapsang and mountain blackberry. Solid
backbone of acidity. Needs a couple years. Drink: 2010-2018.
- Doug Wilder , Vinfolio
202, August 2008
Madaiah Revana is a successful Cardiologist in Houston whose desire
to have a vineyard in Napa Valley was shaped by a visit in 1997.
Once he decided on the place, he dove in and hired the best
winemaking and vineyard management team available. Vineyard Manager
Jim Barbour has his boot-prints all over the Valley and his name
alone instantly commands notice for a new property. Paired with one
of the most respected winemakers in the world, Heidi Peterson
Barrett, big things were naturally expected. Jim developed the site
into an eight-block mix of four different classic Bordeaux
varietals with the exception of Merlot. Heidi's resume was already
brimming with successes elsewhere, including Paradigm, Dalla Valle,
Jones Family, Screaming Eagle, Grace Family, Amuse Bouche, Showket
and her own La Sirena.
2005 Revana
Family - Cabernet Sauvignon
USA - California - Napa - Napa Valley
In stock
Arguably the best Revana
since the 2002 vintage. Shows a beautiful nose with licorice,
camphor, and black currant. The palate has nicely focused
blackberry and tarry licorice giving the wine a beautiful grip on
the palate leading to long, polished finish. Drink: 2008-2016.
Shane and Suzanne Pavitt have always discussed big decisions on
their weekly date night. Deciding to create a wine brand together
was no different. Their first release (called Date Night) is off of
the thirteen acre Temple Vineyard and is farmed organically. Made
by Ted Osborne, the quality of the premiere release 2005 is very high.
Production should stay small, around 300 cases.
2005 Phifer
Pavitt - Cabernet Sauvignon Date Night
USA - California - Napa - Napa Valley
From the
organically-farmed Temple Family Vineyard. It shows a very smooth
blackberry nose with some chocolate and minty/herb notes. The
palate has rich entry with solid silky blackberry, currant and
dense chocolate. Drink: 2008-2014.
Leviathan - Proprietary Red
USA - California
From Andy Erickson,
winemaker for Arietta, Dalla Valle, Screaming Eagle, Ovid and
Dancing Hares, as well as his own Favia label. A blend of 41%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 21% Syrah and 7% Cabernet Franc.
Dark purple in color with a rich creamy nose of dates,
blackberry, licorice and graphite. The palate is pleasantly
polished and ripe with bold black cherry, a kiss of cassis,
blueberry, red stone fruit and warm black fig. A smoothly
structured wine meant for early drinking. Drink: 2008-2012.

A former Cook County, Ill., correctional officer will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars after being sentenced Friday to 50 years in prison for a 2013 Hammond road rage murder, the Post-Tribune is reporting.
Edgar Novera Singleton Jr., 61, of Chicago, expressed remorse for his actions but never apologized to the family of Montrell Moss, 23, of East Chicago for the road rage shooting.
"The guilt that I feel is because I took a life, no matter if it was self-defense or not self-defense," said Singleton, who told the hushed courtroom he had searched the scriptures and felt "even more" guilt after reading one of the 10 Commandments – thou shall not kill.
During his trial, jurors rejected defense attorney Philip King's self-defense claim for Singleton, who testified that Moss was reaching for a gun on Aug. 8 when Singleton fired at Indianapolis Boulevard and Casino Center Drive. Jurors deliberated about two hours and 30 minutes on Feb. 21 before returning the guilty verdict.
Moss, who was unarmed, threw a fast-food cup at Singleton's van because Singleton had cut off Moss twice in traffic. Evidence showed that Singleton was in the lane next to Moss before he backed up and fired. Moss' car veered off through the intersection and crashed into a gas pump at the Luke Oil station, 1051 Indianapolis Blvd.
Deputy prosecutor Michael Woods acknowledged Singleton's lack of prior convictions was a mitigating factor, but urged Lake Superior Court Judge Salvador Vasquez to place little weight on it because of Singleton's more than two decades of law enforcement experience with the Cook County sheriff's department.
"More was expected from Edgar Singleton than this," Woods argued. "He was given that power. He had a uniform and a badge because of that power," Woods said. Singleton was carrying a gun "because the community put that trust in him. He betrayed that trust in the most horrible way possible – by shooting a man over a Burger King cup, by shooting a man over road rage," Woods said.
Vasquez imposed a sentence below the 55-year starting point for murder, which is punishable by 45 to 65 years.
"It's hard for me to wrap my head around this," Vasquez said, noting that Singleton was carrying a badge and weapon for which he was "trained to know when to use it and when not to use it."
After the hearing, Moss' mother, Adrienne Moss, said: "It's not enough years for all the tears I'll shed for my boy. I'm satisfied he will spend the rest of his life in jail."

A stalemate seems likely to continue over adopting a local income tax in the only Indiana county without one.
The Lake County Council voted 4-3 Monday in favor of starting the 1.5 percent tax. The proposal now goes to the Board of Commissioners for the northwestern Indiana county, but The Times of Munster reports two of the three commissioners have said they'll vote to veto it on Friday.
Supporters of the tax say more than 300 jobs have been cut from the county government in the last five years. They say more cuts will hurt public safety services.
Republican councilman Eldon Strong voted against the tax, saying an internal audit and consolidation of county facilities must come first.
All 91 other Indiana counties have local income taxes.

News: Roc Nation Sports Prospect Sparks Controversy After Jay-Z Reports
Tuesday, Jul 23, 2013 10:01PM
Hours after reports of rap mogul Jay-Z targeting NCAA football star Jadeveon Clowney surfaced, the University of South Carolina is now looking into the allegations.
According to reports, the Division 1 college's athletics department is investigating buzz about Clowney possibly violating NCAA rules.
An Instagram account believed to be operated by Clowney posted a link to an article discussing the report. Below the post was written "You kno [sic] we about to turn up. Dream coming true." NCAA bylaws prevent players from agreeing in writing or verbally to be represented by an agent. Any athlete who does is ruled ineligible. However, an agent can talk to players as long as they provide no services to that athlete. (WLTX News)
Reports of Jadeveon sparking Young Hov's interest heated up the Internet early Tuesday (July 23).
Now, Inside the League is reporting that Jay has been keeping in contact with Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina, who is projected to be a top three pick in next year's NFL Draft. Not a bad haul for Roc Nation Sports, if the report is true. Of course, we'll have to wait until next year to see if this actually happens. So, keep an eye out for Clowney throwing the diamond up after hits like this one. (Complex)
A few days ago, Jigga promised the creation of Roc Nation Sports would break old habits and lazy traditions set by sports agencies for years.
"Within two months we had Robinson Cano and Kevin Durant," Jay said in an interview referring to the New York Yankees and Oklahoma City Thunder superstars. "[The other companies,] they're fighting it. They're fighting it because it means you have to work now. You have to work now and they're not comfortable with that. They've been spending 15, 20 years just sitting back and collecting the check and now they have to get out, get up and they have to work and they have to care about these clients because they're going to see the work we're doing and say, 'Hold on, wait a second. Why am I not getting this sort of service? What are you doing? What have you been doing this week?' Those questions are going to start coming so they're intimidated by that. The fact that they have to work and they're intimidated by the fact their clients are going to want to come to us. But if they're doing a great job, there's no reason for any client to switch." (BBC Radio 1)
The overnight sports agent also said he believed Roc Nation Sports will ultimately make agents reconsider how much time and effort they put into their clients' careers.
"This is people's lives. They think they're going to hang around me because I'm famous but they can do that anyway. They don't have to sign to Roc Nation," Jay added. "Those two reasons. They think their clients are going to leave them. Their conscience is telling them, 'I'm not really earning a check. I'm not really earning,' because if you're confident and I know that I've done a great job, I have no fear of that because, I'm doing a great job. But their conscience is telling them, 'I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing and this is not cool that someone's around that is threatening to really do the job. So I really have to get up now.' ... Some guys sign and they never see the agent. They see them on the signing day and just never them [again]. And hoping to get fired because they have this tale that they still get paid. They're almost hoping to get fired." (BBC Radio 1)

In my opinion, the Rangers system is made up of several tiers. The first tier houses prospects like Justin Smoak and Martin Perez, guys that usually find their way onto most Top 100 lists. The second tier is usually for guys who don't quite have first tier ceilings, but still possess immense skill sets and are often mentioned as having major league futures.
The third tier is a long queue of interchangeable prospects that could swap spots depending on a hot streak, promotion, or just gut feeling. These players could evolve into a higher echelon of prospect or they could eventually fade into the attritional fog. Fourth tier players usually have major question marks surrounding their prospect status, either as a result of a limited professional record, age (young/old), and/or skill set translations.
A few samples:
1. 1B Justin Smoak
Justin Smoak is clearly one of the best position prospects in all of baseball. His combination of patience and power potential could make him a devastating hitter in the middle of a major league line-up. His defense has been a bit of a disappointment so far, but given his work ethic, he should eventually be an above-average defensive first-baseman at the highest level.
6. RHP Wilmer Font
Font's fastball, while not nearly as effortless as Feliz's, might be every bit as good. His comps are slowly working their way into shape, although he still has a considerable amount of progress to make. His command isn't there yet, but considering Font lost most of the 2008 season to injuries and issues, his development is on course. Font is setting himself up to explode as a prospect in 2010, where he will most likely begin the season in the High A rotation, pitching as a 19-year-old.
10. RHP Joseph Wieland
Follow me: Wieland's raw stuff isn't great, but it's good, but it could eventually end up better than just good, but still probably not great, but thanks to his pitchability, it might appear great, when it's only really good. Got it? Good.Link

"We're trying to get in. Some people don't want us in." That's the message Willie Ratcliff took from the bullet that crashed through our bedroom window at 1:45 a.m. on Thursday, May 13. Ratcliff has a hunch it was fired by someone trying to scare him out of competing to build the new Bayview Library. Someone must be scared that Black power is about to break the 12-year lockout of Blacks from construction in San Francisco. Black power does not bow to a bullet.
April 9, 2010
The new Bayview Library must be built by the people it serves. No more exclusion of Blacks as with Third Street Light Rail. Bay View publisher Willie Ratcliff's company, Liberty Builders, is competing to build it with a team of top Black construction professionals committed to hiring from the community. Come to the Bay Area Black Builders meeting Saturday, April 10, 12 noon, at 1099 Sunnydale, Vis Valley, San Francisco.

The sexy New York model who was hurt in the Chris Brown-Drake melee will be in court Tuesday on an unrelated prostitution charge. The case involves a man who told cops he agreed to pay her $3,000 for sex, with some of the cash going toward her "breast augmentation," court records show. Ingrid Gutierrez also was charged with falsely claiming that a man, 51-year-old Charles Gazal, raped her and for having seven Xanax pills, records show. The case in Brooklyn Criminal Court comes to light as the Fordham University student prepares to sue the Manhattan nightclub W.i.P. for last Thursday's Rihanna-inspired riot. Gutierrez, 21, said that she and a girlfriend were partying at the club with Brown when the two sides began fighting. She suffered a head wound in the fracas. Sources said Monday that cops still plan to charge Drake with throwing a bottle -- but they want to talk to him first. Gutierrez's lawyer, Sal Strazullo, said that she is "absolutely not" a prostitute and that her Jan. 14 arrest followed Gazal pulling off a condom during sex. Court records show that when police arrived, Gutierrez told them, "I was raped." She later allegedly admitted that was not true. Cops busted Gutierrez on charges of prostitution, drug possession and making a false incident report, while Gazal was charged with patronizing a prostitute.

Toscano is reportedly in the final stages of working out a contract with Interscope Records, the label chaired by Jimmy Iovine.
Interscope took over the task of signing "Idol" winners for the first time this season -- Sony had been the show's label partner since the show premiered.
Bringing in Interscope was all part of the season 10 makeover -- and Iovine has been a huge presence on the show this year, mentoring the contestants each week.
So here we have the makings of an awkward situation. Toscano, a huge talent who deserves a career in music, has essentially already captured the prize eight contestants are still fighting for: an Interscope contract.
What, then, is the point of winning the show?
Iovine's increasingly comfy relationship with the talent complicates things further: as contestants get kicked off, will he simply cherrypick the ones he likes and lock them up?
Or -- and this might be worse for everyone -- will getting singled out by Iovine be a privilege only Toscano enjoys, thus pitting her against the eventual winner?
We'll have to wait and see. But at this pace, Toscano could perform her new hit single on the finale show of this season -- and she'd likely upstage the finalists effortlessly.

A driver led Clarksburg police and Harrison County Sheriff's deputies on a high speed chase early Wednesday morning, injuring a pedestrian and damaging a parked car and a home.
Jeremy Nicholas, 30, of Stonewood is now charged with fleeing while DUI and more charges are pending.
An officer first spotted the car at 2:10 a.m. on Milford Street, where police said the driver went onto the sidewalk, hit a pedestrian, and fled the scene. Police said the man was treated at United Hospital Center.
More officers joined in the pursuit as the car traveled onto Hartland Avenue, where they said it hit a parked van.
Nicholas eventually turned down Roosevelt Road, which is a dead end. Instead of stopping, though, police said Nicholas went through the deck attached to a home and steered the car over a hillside.
Nicholas then ran from the vehicle, leaving his girlfriend behind. She was not seriously injured.
A K-9 unit found Nicholas near Van Buren Street around 3 a.m.
Nicholas was taken to UHC for treatment and was original released on bond. Nicholas is currently in North Central Regional Jail for a parole violation. His bail is set at $15,000.

Web 2.0, Social Networking, and Libraries has been cancelled. It is not being rescheduled as of this time.
The Third Annual International Conference
Web 2.0, Social Networking, & Libraries:
How Libraries Are Exploiting Web 2.0 and Social Networking
to Improve Service to Library Users
—and What It Means for Libraries, Library Users, and You
Including Ways to Better Serve Your Own Library Users with
Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Web 2.0, OPAC and Web Site Enhancements, and more
Sponsored by:
(The International Library Information and Analytic Center;
Offices in Moscow and Washington D.C.);
The Harriman Institute and Columbia University Libraries; and
The U*N*A*B*A*S*H*E*DTM Librarian,
the 'how I run my library good'SM letter
(Sponsor & Conference Organizer)
Place: School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University
Kellogg Center, 15th Floor, 420 West 118th Street,
between Amsterdam Avenue and Morningside Drive, New York City.
Date and Time: Tuesday, March 16, 2010, 8:15AM – 4:00PM
Fees and Registration:
$100 – Early Bird Special, expires 11:59 PM, January 31st, 2010 [must be postmarked or paid on-line via PayPal by this date and time]
$130 – U*N*A*B*A*S*H*E*DTM Librarian Subscriber, Columbia University Staff, METRO Institutional Member, LACUNY Member, CLA, NJLA or NYLA Member, or ALA Member
$140 – Unaffiliated with any of the above
$120 - Student at an ALA-accredited library school
The Issue:
"Web 2.0, Social Networking, and Libraries" will focus on future trends and a broad view of what is going on today in libraries in the United States and Russia; and provide an in-depth look at how a university library (NYU) and a public library (Princeton) are using Web 2.0 and Social Networking to promote library service, make connections between library users and their libraries, and connect users to each other.
It is the rare person—anywhere–who is not using one or more social networking applications, and for that matter there are fewer and fewer U.S. libraries not making some use of social networking these days. By attending this conference you'll get both a comprehensive overview of Web 2.0 and Social Networking, as well as concrete and in-depth examples of how an academic and a public library are exploiting these tools to better communicate with, serve, and bring together their libraries' users.
Intended Audience:
Everyone who works in or does business with libraries is in the target audience. Web 2.0 and Social Networking applications have been used by many libraries to one extent or another the last few years. The extraordinary participatory possibilities promoted by social networking can and will continue to improve library service, and communication between the library and its users and among the library's users—these developments impact all staff. People at every administrative level can help promote library service by the use of these applications and tools. All should come and learn about what is being done and can be done in specific and broad library settings. It is vital that everyone have an understanding of this sea change in library and information services.

The 2008 conference, Google and Libraries, was so successful that attendees requested that there be another conference in 2009, which was, Open Access and Libraries. These conferences originated at the request of ILIAC , an international library organization based in Moscow and Washington, DC that conducts annual study tours of U.S. libraries. At ILIAC's invitation, Maurice J.

We trust that you will find this year's conference Web 2.0, Social Networking, and Libraries stimulating, informative, and, indeed, exciting.

Big Bird has become a big deal in the presidential campaign. During last week's debate, Mitt Romney said he would cut funding to PBS, and his comments have turned Big Bird into the most talked-about fictional character in the country.
"It's me Big Bird," said the character with a smile on TV. Who knew our biggest yellow friend would weigh-in so heavily in this year's election?
"I like PBS, I like Big Bird, actually like you too, but I'm not gonna keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for it," said Romney
And again Thursday night in Miami, a week after the debate, President Obama couldn't resist ruffling a few more feathers.
"When Governor Romney says he can cut taxes, increase military spending, close the deficit, all by getting rid of Planned Parenthood and Big Bird," said Obama.
Romney's camp responded with this statement:
"President Obama is obsessed with talking about a puppet rather than presenting a vision for a stronger foreign policy and a vibrant economy," said Ryan Williams, a campaign spokesperson.
Ever since the first presidential debate, almost anywhere you look, there are angry birds: Big Bird lookalikes, like a pair we saw in St. Pete last Friday at a Mitt Romney event.
"We're having a great time, we're getting a lot of waves, and honks on the interstate," said Scott Crider Thursday, as his, "Big Bird On The Roof Tour", rolled through Tampa. Crider started the group Dogs Against Romney back in 2007, and has developed quite a following.
Crider is now lampooning Romney's prior admission he'd crated his own dog on the roof of their station wagon years ago as they went on vacation.
"People see it, they recognize it and they say, what's that about?," said Crider. "And it gives us an opportunity to tell the story that, Mitt's being really vague about what it is he's gonna cut."
"I think Big Bird is one of our first, great educators," said Megan Allen, who is a former Florida Teacher of the year in 2010 and a 5th grade teacher at Shaw Elementary School in Hillsborough County. "I think PBS has done so many great things for education, which begins in the home, so I feel Big Bird is important to our education system."
"Big Bird is big bucks! He's an icon!," said J.B. Mason, who owns and runs Features Costumes & Beads in Tampa.
He said Big Bird has quickly become this Halloween's hottest costume -- but good luck finding one. We went to three of the biggest costume retailers in Tampa Bay: Party City, Spirit Halloween and Features and all three don't have Big Bird. Not because he's so hot, but because he's so expensive to license.
"The costume people who make the costumes, they would have to buy the rights to the costume in order to mass produce it so we can get our hands on it," said Mason.
But that would be too expensive. Still he said, the Obama and Romney masks are selling well.
"Politically correct, I'd say they're about even," he joked. "They're neck and neck right now!"
By the way, that, "Big Bird On The Roof Tour", is hitting cities all over Florida. Next stop were Miami, West Palm Beach, then Orlando.
