Willard Brown Signed Index Card
Starting Bid - $100.00, Sold For - $1,645.00
Unlined index card signed in blue ink (grading "9/10") by Hall of Fame outfielder and former Negro League star Willard Brown (1915-1996). Willard Brown enjoyed the reputation as one of the most feared sluggers in Negro League history. Perhaps the greatest testament to his hitting prowess is the fact that Josh Gibson himself bestowed Brown with the nickname "Home Run." Brown starred with the Monarchs for fourteen seasons between the years 1935 and 1951 (he missed time due to military service, and one year was spent in the Mexican League), leading the club to six pennants. In 1947 Brown followed in the footsteps of Jackie Robinson and briefly joined the St. Louis Browns. Although he only played in twenty-one games, he became the first black player to hit a home run in the American League. He later returned to the Negro Leagues and then finished his career in the minors, playing with a number of clubs in the Texas League. Brown was one of seventeen Negro League players elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006 by special election, ten years after his death. His signature is particularly rare. This is an ideal example in an extremely desirable form. The card (5 x 3) is in Near Mint condition. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $100. Estimate $200/$400. SOLD FOR $1,645.00

Short Takes: A briefing of people, issues and events around the country
Obama to launch series of trips on economic plans
WASHINGTON -- Immigration, guns and national security are dominating the discussion on Capitol Hill, but Americans by and large are still focused on their bottom line. So President Barack Obama is launching a series of quick jaunts around the country to remind Americans he's still got jobs and the economy on his mind.
Obama will kick off the effort Thursday with a trip to Austin, Texas, the White House said. While in Texas, the president will visit a technical high school and meet with entrepreneurs. He'll also drop in on a tech company and talk with blue-collar workers.
The trips come as Obama is facing increasing skepticism that he still has the clout to get big things done before the 2014 midterm elections.
Fever on the rise in parched West farm region
FRESNO, Calif. -- California and federal public health officials say valley fever, a potentially lethal but often misdiagnosed disease infecting more and more people around the nation, has been on the rise as warming climates and drought have kicked up the dust that spreads it.
The fever has hit California's agricultural heartland particularly hard in recent years, with incidents dramatically increasing in 2010 and 2011. The disease -- which is prevalent in arid regions of the United States, Mexico, Central and South America -- can be contracted by simply breathing in fungus-laced spores from dust disturbed by wind as well as human or animal activity.
The fungus is sensitive to environmental changes, experts say, and a hotter, drier climate has increased dust carrying the spores.
Utah cabin had uninvited guests -- 60,000 bees
SALT LAKE CITY -- It was the biggest beehive that Ogden beekeeper Vic Bachman has ever removed -- a dozen feet long, packed inside the eve of a cabin in Ogden Valley.
"We figure we got 15 pounds of bees out of there," said Bachman, who said that converts to about 60,000 honeybees.
Bachman was called to the A-frame cabin in April in Eden, Utah. Taking apart a panel that hid roof rafters, he had no idea he would find honeycombs packed 12 feet long, 4 feet wide and 16 inches deep.
The honeybees had been making the enclosed cavity their home since 1996. The cabin was rarely used, but when the owners needed to occupy it while building another home nearby, they decided the beehive wasn't safe for their two children.
N.H. sale features EKG of Armstrong's moon heartbeat
AMHERST, N.H. -- A New Hampshire auction house will soon accept bids on space and aviation artifacts, including an electrocardiogram of Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong's heartbeat taken when he first set foot on the moon.
Amherst-based RR Auction will take bids on the EKG, which registered a normal heartbeat, and other artifacts during an online auction from May 16 through May 23.
Other artifacts include the joystick controller operated by Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins in the Apollo 11 command module.
Auction officials say over 85 lots of Apollo 11 material will be featured in the auction.
Armstrong took his "giant step for mankind" on July 20, 1969. Buzz Aldrin later joined him on the moon's surface.
Armstrong, an Ohio native, died in August at age 82.

In Brief: Police chief says body found in barrel at home northeast of Pittsburgh
Police chief says body found in barrel
EAST VANDERGRIFT -- A police chief said a body of a male has been found in a plastic barrel in the basement of a home.
The Westmoreland County Coroner's Office wasn't expecting to release information about the body for hours, but confirmed the death in East Vandergrift was being treated as suspicious.
Vandergrift Police Chief Joseph Caporali told the (Tarentum) Valley News Dispatch that one person was in custody for questioning after borough police were called to the home Tuesday morning.
County detectives were also processing the scene and treating the case as a homicide.
East Vandergrift is about 30 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Tree falls on car, killing 2 children in back seat
JEROME -- Authorities said a falling tree landed on a moving car, killing two of the four children sitting in the back seat.
Police in Somerset County told the Daily American that the car was heading south on Route 403 in Conemaugh Township when the tree struck the back of the car Monday afternoon.
Coroner Wallace Miller said two children died of blunt force trauma. Their ages weren't immediately released.
Police said the male driver, a pregnant woman and the other two children were injured and taken to Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, where their conditions were unavailable.
Police Chief Louis Barclay said an accident reconstruction determined the tree was rotted at the base.
"All indications are it was just a freak accident," he said.
Lawyers awarded $508K in shooting suit
PITTSBURGH -- A judge has awarded $508,000 to the attorneys who represented the parents of a therapist fatally shot at a Pittsburgh psychiatric hospital.
Harry and Mary Schaab had sued the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center over the 2012 shooting at the center's Western Psychiatric Institute that left their son Michael dead.
The Schaabs settled their lawsuit against UPMC for $1.5 million. But they ended up suing the law firm that represented them, Farrell & Reisinger. They said they had wanted to sue gunman John Shick's estate and parents but the law firm advised against it. Monday's settlement ends litigation over the legal fees.

LOCKPORT – Police were looking for a suspect or suspects in a South Transit Street shooting early Monday morning.
Raymond T. Johnson, 31, suffered multiple gun shot wounds, but he walked from the shooting scene in his apartment at 143 South Transit Street to a nearby 7-Eleven at South Transit and High street to get help.
"He staggered in and told a clerk, 'I've been shot' and then just collapsed on the ground, where we found him," said Lockport Police Chief Lawrence M. Eggert.
Eggert said Johnson was found at 12:20 a.m. and was taken by Mercy Flight to Erie County Medical Center. He was taken into surgery Monday morning and was expected to recover, according to Eggert.
Eggert said police have little information on the cause of the shooting or names of any suspects.
He said anyone with information should contact the Lockport Police Department at 433-7700 or the tipline at 439-6723.

Having purchased my 11 inch MacBook Air right before my trip to Paris last month, I wanted to find a bag that would fit both the Air and my iPad. I scoured the internet before the trip and realized that there wasn't much info available.
Apple has the tendency to work in secrecy about new products. This means that they don't share information with 3rd party vendors. So when something with a new form factor is released (ie the 11 inch MacBook Air), if you are early getting one, it usually means your selections for cases are limited at best.
Steve Jobs was quoted at the announcement saying you don't even need a case – you just carry it around. While I see his point in the office or at home, I was looking at an international flight followed by lots of Paris subway use. I definitely needed a bag.
I settled on the STM BAGS Scout Extra Small Laptop Shoulder Bag from Amazon. The bag is designed for the iPad and a few accessories, but I've found that it works great fitting both the iPad and the Air. This bag is about 2 inches from perfect. By that I mean it works great, but the Air sticks up about 2 inches. If you're not familiar – the width of the iPad and the 11 inch Air are about the same. The Air is a bit longer.
The STM features a vertical design and has a flap that runs the length of the bag that comes over to an adjustable clip to hold it closed. It fits the iPad in the front pocket just fine. As I said before the Air sticks up about 1 or 2 inches more than its designed for, but this works just fine. The only tradeoff is that the bag is not as tight as its designed to be. This could be an issue if you got stuck walking through heavy rain. You'd probably be okay, but you have a hair of vulnerability. Not the end of the world, but just wanted to state that for people who might be more anal retentive than me.
Other than that the bag is complete genius. Its extremely comfortable, looks good and holds the iPad, the Air and even has left over room for your power supply and any cables you might want for the Air (ie Mini DVI to DVI cable for presentations).
Used this on my trip and it worked like a charm. One small issue is that the release that adjusts and locks the main strap length is easy to knock loose, but the bag is pretty small so its still comfortable if you happen to knock it open. I wouldn't let this deter you if you need the bag – its really not a big deal.
This bag works great and its affordable. It would be nice to see STM make a few adjustments to make this accommodate everything perfectly, but until then it makes sense to use – particularly for the money.
I've added some images so you can see how the bag closes with the slightly too long MacBook Air inside…

Summary: This is a relatively easy walk. Most of the trip up to the Bridal Falls is on a nicely wooded trail along the river. The trailhead is across the road from the parking lot. Start the trip by taking the Corn Mill Shoals Trail SE. Then take the clearly marked Bridal Veil Trail to the NE. After hiking along the Little River you will come to cleared out area of power lines. Cross the power line clearing and proceed down the side of the river to Bridal Veil Falls. Extreme caution should be used, since the rocks are often slippery on the way to view the falls. This is the waterfall filmed in "The Last of the Mohicans". You can cross the waterfall by going underneath it. The sound of rushing water overhead is incredible. Down river is a nice area to rock slide and to the left is the lower part of the falls. The lower falls are steep and dangerous. Exit the falls area a bit further downstream and proceed back to the parking area via the Corn Mills Shoal Trail
Trailhead: From Spartanburg, SC take I-26 West. From downtown Hendersonville, pick up Kanuga Road and head west until you intersect DuPont Road. Turn left and stay on DuPont Road: it turns into Staton Road. Take Staton Road until it intersects with Cascade Lake Road. Turn left and the parking lot is down the highway about a 1/4 of a mile. The trailhead is across the road and well marked. (Lat:35.1 Lon:-82.38)

Great hike with a wide trail. Completed this hike with my 3 year old daughter. She hiked all the way in but Dad carried her most of the way out as 2.5 miles was quite a feat for a toddler. Be alert for mountain bikes as this is a heavily ridden trail at times. Also, be cautious at the water crossing. Rocks are very slippery.

Sara (10/18/2008) may have taken Corn Mill Shoals Trail to Little River Trail to the power lines. I took that route today and encountered the No Trespassing signs. The route described here (CMS Trl to Bridal Veil Trail) would have crossed the power line clearing south of the Falls rather than WNW of the Falls.

Absolutely one of the best hikes we have been on. We hikes the access roads for the most part ending up at the bottom of the falls. During the drout in the fall of 07 we were able to walk up the left hand side of the falls with ease. Take caution during regualr times, it would be dangerous to do this in normal times. He is a shot we took with a wide angle lens within 20 feet of the falls. We could have walked under but the temp was around 50 degrees and did not want to get wet. http://a-1000-words-photography.smugmug.com/photos/221234618_ZoL3U-L.jpg

I love this hike and I have been on it SEVERAL times...this time was interesting though and if ANYONE has any information on it please post. I went today with a friend to show her the waterfall there and when we got to the clearing where the powerlines are it has 'no trespassing, private property' posted everywhere! They cut down the sign they had up to show where to go for the falls and there is a 'gate' set up on the trail where the lookout is. Not sure what's going on with that! Again if you have any information please let me know because I love this hike and I would hate for it to be limited or even not available for everyone to enjoy!

Good hike. Falls are worth going to see. The trail is difficult to follow at times, especially at river/falls area. Looked at the gps a few times to figure out trail. Would be easy to find second time around. If you do loop, then you will get wet crossing one portion of river. No big deal, but take shoes off. :) All in all a great day hike worth doing. Lunch at the falls area seems very pleasant.

This is a beautiful area to hike and the falls are breathtaking. Tom's directions could use a little clarification/updating. Starting from the same parking lot, hop on the Coal Mill Shoals Trail across the street. On your way downhill, you will pass a couple of forks. You will arrive at one with two signs stacked. Right will take you down the Coal Mill Shoals Trail to the river where there is a nice place to sit on the rocks and view a nice spot of the river. I recommend taking a sit there. From that point, either lose the shoes and walk across the slippery rocks to get to where the CMS Trail picks up on the other side of the river. You can take this trail all the way to the Bridal Veil Falls Rd which will bring you to the Lower Falls.

Conservatives have expressed disappointment at Northumberland County Council's decision to retain post-16 travel charges.
A vote to stop a £600 charge being introduced was defeated by four votes at an extraordinary general meeting on Friday.
Coun Peter Jackson, leader of Northumberland Conservatives, said: "It is disappointing that there was no mood from Labour for any form of compromise.
"It became apparent from the comments from the worried parents and their children attending the meeting that transport arrangements for the new term starting in September are still in a state of chaos. I will be working with parents and young people to find solutions to the very difficult situation which the council has put them in."
Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Conservative parliamentary candidate for Berwick, has called on the council to rethink its policy.
She said: "The Labour council want to keep more students within the Northumberland schools catchment, and I am happy to work with schools to find ways to achieve that, as long as the educational opportunity for each child is met. Forcing families to pay £600 for a child to go to the local school regardless of whether that's the right place for them makes no sense."
"Now that post-16 education or training is a national standard, I will be raising this rural transport cost problem with the Secretary of State for Education to highlight the challenges for those families who are on low incomes and whose kids need that financial support to get to school.
"The enormous travel distances for those students, and the lack of available public transport options, leaves these kids massively disadvantaged compared to their urban counterparts."

Looking for Old Friend
Recently one of the locals in the community asked me if I remembered a Mike Smith. This person has lost contact and would like to find him.
I didnt remember Mike, but thought maybe someone else out in the community might and maybe could help find this old friend. I have asked around town and a few locals remembered Mike, but didnt know where he relocated to, or where he lives.
I did find out that Mike had a younger brother named Alex, a sister named Vicky, and that his dads name could have been Alex Sr.
The Smith Family lived in the St. Stephen town limits. Mike would have graduated high school in or around 1971.
If anyone has information about Mike Smith, please let me know. My contact information is at the end of column.

Former NHL coach and now broadcaster because he was a terrible coach Eddie Olczyk had some really harsh things to say about the Brooks Orpik hit. Via ESPN:
" The game is much different now than when I played," Olczyk said on WGWG-LP 87.7 FM on Monday. "The game is much different than when I coached. Once the response didn't happen, I knew it wasn't going to happen. Was I disappointed? Absolutely. "
Former coach, 31-64-8, BTW.
Olczyk said some other weird things:
"He's a big guy," Olczyk said. "He's a heavy guy. He battles. He's a physical player. He takes runs at players. He doesn't drop his gloves, which I certainly think is an issue I have, but that's a whole other story."
If someone would have gone after Orpik, and Orpik would have gotten hurt, Olcyzk would be railing against that player.
Oh… wait. That happened once, and every NHL talking head was ready to exile Shawn Thornton.
Wherever you stand on fighting, who cares. The entire NHL community is nauseating on this subject, and it is played out. We just want to point out that Eddie Olcyzk is a lunatic and that NBC is going to get to a point where they are going to need to end Olczyk, Milbury, Jones, etc. You can't promote violence and then get worked up when violence happens. Hits from behind, headshots: it is all one and the same. We get it; you played in the NHL. There is a code. You lived it. But at the end of the day, it isn't the mid-'90s anymore. The Hawks handled it the way they wanted to. They handled it with class.
A lot more class than a washed-up former hockey player, subpar announcer, and terrible ex-coach.
P.S. No wonder Brooks Orpik doesn't hit anyone anymore. Every time he does, it turns into a week-long soul-search-fest for hockey pundits.
h/t to Anthony P for the find.

Child Sex-Abuse Case Rocks Penn State
Former Senior Member of College-Football Staff Faces 21 Felonies in Child-Sex Case
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.—Two Pennsylvania State University administrators stepped down late Sunday after they were charged with lying to a grand jury about what they knew regarding sexual-misconduct allegations about a former defensive coordinator for the football team.
The retired coordinator, Jerry Sandusky, 67 years old, was arrested Saturday on charges of sexually abusing eight boys.
The Penn State Board of Trustees met behind closed doors Sunday night about the allegations regarding Mr. Sandusky. Soon after, the university announced that Tim Curley, Penn State's athletic director, and Gary Schultz, vice president for finance and business, had asked to step down to defend themselves against the charges.
On Saturday, Mr. Sandusky was arrested on 21 felony counts, including seven counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse that each carry as much as 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. The counts, which involve alleged abuse of eight boys ranging over a period of 15 years, include several incidents that allegedly took place at university athletic facilities.
- Press Release: Trustees announce two officials to step down while case is investigated
- Read the Grand Jury Report (Warning: Contains graphic material)
- Statement from Pennsylvania Attorney General's office
- Statement by Penn State president and by attorneys for the two school officials indicted
- The Daily Fix: Stunned Reaction to Penn State Scandal
Messrs. Curley and Schultz each face up to seven years and a $15,000 fine if convicted of perjury, a third-degree felony. They also each face a count of failing to report suspected child abuse, which carries a sentence of up to 90 days in prison and a $200 fine. They are scheduled to surrender Monday before a judge in Harrisburg. A preliminary hearing for Mr. Sandusky is scheduled for Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, a state senator called on Penn State to investigate a possible "cover-up" one day after Mr. Sandusky was arrested. "Clearly Penn State doesn't have to sit around and wait for the criminal-justice system to act," said Republican State Sen. Jeffrey Piccola, chairman of the state Senate's education committee. He also criticized university president Graham Spanier's public defense of the suspects, saying the president "needs to take a hands-off approach and not either defend or condemn the accused and wait for the criminal justice process."
A university spokeswoman declined to respond to Mr. Piccola's comments.
The unfolding story has rocked sports-crazy State College, where Mr. Sandusky worked for decades in one of the nation's most prominent and successful football programs alongside the legendary head coach Joe Paterno, who at age 84 still guides the team.
Mr. Sandusky was once the heir apparent to Mr. Paterno and was the longtime architect of a perennially stout defense that sent so many players to the pro ranks that it became known as "Linebacker U."
Mr. Sandusky was released on $100,000 bail. He retired in 1999 from Penn State but continued to use the school's facilities for the Second Mile, a nonprofit group he founded in 1977 to help at-risk children. Second Mile didn't comment on the case.
Mr. Sandusky's attorney, Joe Amendola, said his client has been aware of the accusations for about three years and has maintained his innocence. Mr. Sandusky left Second Mile last year.
Attorneys representing both Mr. Schultz and Mr. Curley said their clients were innocent of all charges. The university has said it is paying for legal expenses for both men. In a statement Saturday, Mr. Spanier, the Penn State president, said Mr. Curley and Mr. Schultz had his "unconditional support."
"I have known and worked daily with Tim and Gary for more than 16 years," he said. "I have complete confidence in how they have handled the allegations about a former University employee."
In the same statement, Mr. Spanier said, "The allegations about a former coach are troubling, and it is appropriate that they be investigated thoroughly. Protecting children requires the utmost vigilance."
The indictment details accounts of young boys, who were involved with the Second Mile, allegedly being assaulted while spending the night at Mr. Sandusky's home and at Penn State athletic facilities. The indictment says a graduate assistant saw Mr. Sandusky assault a 10-year-old boy in the shower at a team practice center in 2002, and reported the incident to Mr. Paterno, who then alerted Mr. Curley.
According to the grand jury report, Mr. Curley and Mr. Schultz, whose position includes oversight of the university police, met with the assistant but didn't report the incident as required by state law, according to the attorney general's office.
The grand jury report says Mr. Curley "made a materially false statement under oath" when "he testified…that he was not told by the graduate assistant" about Mr. Sandusky's alleged activities with a boy in a shower at a Penn State facility. Also according to the grand jury report, Mr. Schultz "made a materially false statement under oath" when "he testified…that the allegations made by the graduate assistant were 'not that serious' and that he and Curley 'had no indication that a crime had occurred.'"
Mr. Paterno released a statement Sunday reading in part, "Like anyone else involved I can't help but be deeply saddened these matters are alleged to have occurred."
According to the grand jury report, one man, now 27, testified that Mr. Sandusky began a "soap battle" in the shower, which led to involuntary sexual intercourse and indecent assault. According to the grand jury report, Mr. Sandusky allegedly gave the youth clothes, shoes, a snowboard, golf clubs, hockey gear and football jerseys.
Steve Turchetta, the football coach at Central Mountain High in Mill Hall, Pa., alerted law authorities in 2008 after receiving a complaint from the mother of one of the victims, according to the indictment. That in turn spurred the probe that ended in the indictment.Mr. Turchetta declined to comment.
While countless other colleges have come under scrutiny for rules violations, Penn State has never been in significant trouble with the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the governing body that oversees college sports. The Nittany Lions also have the fourth-most victories in major-college-football history, regularly play before crowds of more than 100,000 and have been coached by Mr. Paterno, who has a record 409 victories, since 1966.
Mr. Paterno was nearly forced out in 2004, after a series of lackluster seasons on the field. Penn State rebounded the following year, though, and was enjoying a surprisingly strong season this year—they are 8-1.
"Scandals like this just don't happen in State College," said Bryn Williams, a 37-year-old restaurant cook who has lived here his whole life. He described a small town where people are always aware of each other's business.
When allegations surfaced, Mr. Williams said people dismissed the news. As for Penn State fans, "we figured this was a troubled kid setting him up," he said. "But we knew that if it were true, it would go national." Now he said, "It's just a shock, and it's going to get bigger." Asked about Mr. Paterno, he said, "Well, if he was a 10-year coach, he'd have to go, but now, I don't know, everybody loves JoePa."
Some students around campus had barely heard of the scandals. Others said they were shocked. As for Mr. Paterno, "He's spent his whole life at Penn State, he probably should go, but what else is he going to do?" said Kevin Cullinan, a 19-year-old student.
Michael O'Brien, in his 1998 biography of Mr. Paterno, wrote that in 1992, it was thought that Mr. Paterno would retire and that his successor was a "subject of speculation." Top of the list: "defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, forty-eight."
The website of the Second Mile describes the group as a "non-profit organization for children who need additional support…"
The site says the Second Mile "plans, organizes, and offers activities and programs for children—and adults who work with them—to promote self-confidence as well as physical, academic, and personal success."

Few authors of fantasy literature are as beloved as C.S. Lewis and on Nov. 17, 6 p.m., at St. Paul's Church in Summerville, the public will have an opportunity to see one of Great Britain's renowned actors, Howard Burnham, present an original performance to honor the ongoing legacy of the celebrated Irish scholar and writer.
C.S. Lewis died 50 year ago on November 22, an historic date mostly remembered by the death of President John Kennedy.
"An Evening with C.S. Lewis" is an original work by Burnham, based on Lewis' own delivery to a party of American tourist visiting Magdalen College, Oxford in 1952. The presentation will also include readings from three of Lewis' most revered works - Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters and The Chronicles of Narnia, which Time magazine hailed - along with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe - as one of the top 100 English language novels written in the twentieth century.
Burnham's performance will include Lewis' own personal testimony of how he came to Faith. "People the world over know about C.S. Lewis and have read many of his books," Rev. John Scott, Asst. Rector at St. Paul's, said, "but few have heard the story of his own walk with the Lord and his eventual popularity as a Christian Apologist."
The one-man show will benefit Pass the Legacy (http://passthelegacy.wordpress.com/), a ministry designed to increase the health of relationships between grandparents, grown children and grand children in order to raise up their generation to know and serve Jesus Christ. According to Rev. Scott, proceeds will help the organization underwriting and publish conference materials such as a handbook entitled: Leaders of Legacy: A League of Courageous Grand Parents and Grown Parents.
The presentation at St. Paul's will be Burnham's first performance of C.S. Lewis in South Carolina. He will have two more performances, both in Columbia. Although he now resides in Los Angeles, Burnham is quite popular in the Low Country.
This is his third one-man show at St. Pauls; in 2011 he portrayed Lord Cornwallis and in 2012, Charles Dickens.
St. Paul's Church, 110 Gadsden Street, Summerville. $20 donation – To reserve tickets or more information call: 843-991-0152

A Christian couple who are being sued for refusing to allow two men to share a bed in their hotel yesterday told a court that they had been "set up".
Peter and Hazelmary Bull believe they are victims of a stunt by the two gay men who are suing them for £5,000 under new equal rights legislation that outlaws discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation.
The Bulls, who own a small bed and breakfast hotel in Cornwall, state on their website that they allow only married heterosexual couples to share a double bed.

If you have not made payments to a debt, a creditor might try to get its money back by using a bailiff.

What is a bailiff
A bailiff is someone authorised to collect a debt on behalf of a creditor (i.e. someone who has lent you money, or to whom you owe money for work carried out etc).
A legally authorised bailiff may remove goods from your property and sell them to raise money to clear the debt. A visit from a bailiff can be very stressful and you should seek advice from your local Citizens Advice Bureau or an advice agency if you receive notification of a visit from a bailiff.
Where possible, you should try to arrange for a friend to be with you as a witness, if you know a bailiff is going to call, and take notes of the conversation and the powers the bailiff claims to have.
There are different types of bailiff and they are granted different powers to collect debts, for example:
County Court Bailiff:
Directly employed by the County Court
Certificated Bailiff:
Empowered by a certificate granted by the court after providing references of good character
Private Bailiff:
Self employed, employed by a local authority or a private company
Bailiffs authorised by the magistrates' court are usually used to collect council tax arrears or county court judgements, but could also be used to collect other debts such as unpaid fines, rent arrears, income tax arrears or to repossess goods purchased through a hire purchase agreement.
Different types of bailiff have differing powers to collect debts. However there are certain rules which apply to all of them, and unless we state otherwise here, the information herein applies to all bailiffs.
The bailiff has certain powers for use when collecting or seizing goods but must always have a warrant before being allowed to enter your property to remove your possessions.
Can anyone be a bailiff
Yes, as long as they have legal authority to carry out their actions! Most creditors tend to use certificated bailiffs to collect their debts, as these have been 'vetted' by the courts before being granted a certificate. On this basis, such individuals or firms have provided references, and the staff they employ are considered to be 'fit and proper' persons for the role.
In order to collect rent arrears and road traffic penalties, bailiffs must certificated.
What legal authority must a Bailiff have before calling on me?
The Bailiff must be legally authorised to collect the debt on behalf of the creditor. This authority is normally known as a 'warrant', or 'warrant of execution' the money being recovered relates to an outstanding County Court Judgement.
Where Bailiffs have been appointed by the Magistrates Courts in respect of unpaid council tax, outstanding fines, or unpaid maintenance etc, their legal authority is termed a 'distress warrant' 'liability order' by the relevant Magistrates' Court.
With regard to debt arrears, it is standard practice for creditors to appoint agents to call at your home in order to negotiate a repayment arrangement. These individuals will usually be called 'debt collectors', 'debt counsellors'or 'advisors'. they describe themselves, they do not have the legal power to enter your home or seize goods.
How do I know that it is a Bailiff at my house?
Bailiffs must provide identification and/or their authorisation if so requested. Where they are collecting rent arrears, ensure you ask them to produce their certificate from the county court.
Bailiffs collecting unpaid council tax must show their written authorisation from the relevant council.
Am I breaking the law if I refuse to let the bailiff into my house?
No, you cannot be arrested for refusing to allow the Bailiff into your house, even if the Bailiff attends your house accompanied by the police; police presence is merely to ensure that there is no breach of the peace, and not to assist the Bailiff.
Do I have to let the bailiffs into my home?
No – and be very careful about doing so.
Most bailiffs cannot force entry to your property, and in many cases you don't have to let them in. The only exception to this is that a bailiff acting on behalf of HM Revenue & Customs can get a warrant to force entry, though this is rare.
They can gain entry to your property if they can do so without breaking in, such as through an open door or window – a 'right of peaceful entry', which may include climbing over fences and gates (without breaking them down).
Caution: Once a bailiff has entered your property he can make a list of your possessions which will be seized for auction to repay the debt, so long as such possessions belong to the person owing the debt, and named on the warrant. So, make sure all your doors and windows are securely closed.
Once in the premises, the Bailiff has the right to enter all rooms in the house, and can break open any locked door or drawer in order to assist his/her investigations. Once the Bailiff has gained entry by 'peaceful' means, he/she has the right to call again and even enter without your permission, even if this means breaking in and removing identified goods.
Should any attempt be made to remove a Bailiff from your property once they have gained peaceful entry, this would be classed as assault, with the consequent risk of conviction.
Once the Bailiff has 'seized' possessions, these can be removed immediately into storage or a representative of the Bailiff can remain at the premises to guard the items pending future collection. In any event, the Bailiff will make clear his/her intention to seize the items, either verbally, by attaching an identifying marker to the item, or simply by touching the relevant items. It is important that you take a note of such items so identified. This process is referred to as 'levying distress or 'distraining on goods'.
The most likely outcome of a Bailiff's peaceful entry onto premises is that you could be required to sign a 'walking possession agreement which means that the Bailiff legally owns the goods identified and marked, and he can return at a later date, entering without permission, to remove goods to the value of the debt. However, it is likely that, having signed the agreement, the items can remain in your home and you can continue to use them for as long as you keep to your side of the agreement – i.e. you stick to whatever agreement struck with the Bailiff at his/her visit.
You must never sign a walking possession order pushed through your letterbox which probably lists goods viewed though a window.
Bailiffs are well aware of the limitations of their powers, and are well trained in the use of a variety of tactics in order to gain entry peacefully. Such tactics may include:
- They may attempt to walk in as soon as the door is opened.
- They may ask if they can use your telephone to check if an arrangement is satisfactory with 'Head Office'.
- They may simply suggest that you may prefer to discuss matters confidentially inside your home.
Remember: You do not have to accede to any of these methods.
Could a bailiff force entry to my property?
It is rare that a bailiff will force entry to your home to seize your possessions, but will do so if denied entry to a property which he has previously entered, or has a warrant from a magistrates court to collect unpaid taxes or fines.
Are there any goods that a Bailiff is not allowed to seize?
With the exception of Bailiffs acting on behalf of the Magistrates' Court, Bailiffs are not allowed to seize clothes, bedding, and furniture, household goods essential for living, or tools and equipment necessary for work.
Goods which are owned by another person cannot be seized, but goods the debtor owns jointly with someone else could be seized.
A Bailiff cannot take goods which belong to a child.
Bailiffs acting on behalf of the Magistrates' Courts are not allowed to seize;
- Clothing, beds or bedding
- Tools of a trade
- Basic domestic needs of the family – items such as fridge, cooker, freezer.
What should I do if a bailiff threatens me?
A bailiff should behave in a professional manner and is not allowed to threaten, discriminate against you on grounds of gender, age, ethnicity, sexuality, religion, race, or use offensive language. If you are concerned about the conduct of a bailiff you should complain to the creditor or the court which instructed him.
Do Bailiffs visit without prior notice?
You should receive a minimum of 7 days notice from county court Bailiffs to give you the chance to pay. Where a visit is planned to collect council tax, the local authority must send a letter giving 14 days' notice of the Bailiff visit.
Is there a cost of the visits?
Bailiffs are entitled to charge fees for their work. Such fees vary according to the reason for the visit and can be quite complex, but here are a few of the most common (source: www.bailiffadviceonline.co.uk as at 7/2010):
Council Tax
1st visit fee £24.50, with a 2nd visit charged at £18. There may also be a Levy Fee where the Bailiff levies on goods, and a Walking Possession agreement is signed. As an example of overall costs, take an outstanding Council Tax bill of £600, the total amount you should pay for the Bailiff is £55.00
Road Traffic debts
For preparing and sending a letter to advise that a warrant is with the Bailiff, and requesting the total sum due: £11.20
In addition, for levying distress for debts not exceeding £100: £28, though this increase to 28% on the first £200 due and 5.5% on any additional sums over £200. For taking possession: £5.60 each day.
Child Support Agency
- Letter fee: £10
- Attendance fees: Approx. £95
- Walking Possession: 10p per day
In all of the above situations, there are additional 'reasonable' costs and fees incurred where, for example there is removal and storage required for seized goods, or for auctioneer's costs, and you should clarify such costs at the time.
Does a debt collector have the same powers as a bailiff?
No, a debt collector is not a bailiff and is not authorised by the courts. A debt collector is not allowed to enter your home or seize your property.
Professional Standards of Bailiffs
There are now national standards for enforcement agents, under which Bailiffs are expected to:
- Carry out their duties in a professional, calm and dignified manner.
- Dress themselves appropriately, and act with discretion and fairness.
- Properly represent their powers.
- Produce identification and authorisation upon request.
- Not to discriminate on grounds of gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, race or religion.
- Communicate clearly and provide appropriate information on, for example fees and charges.
- Provide procedures for identifying and dealing fairly with vulnerable debtors (such as the elderly or disabled, pregnant women, unemployed people, recently bereaved or those with language difficulties).
How do I complain about a Bailiff?
If you would like to make a complaint about a certified bailiff, use this link to download an official Form 4
If you wish to complain about the conduct or fitness of a Certificated Bailiff, under The Distress for Rent Act 1988, your complaint must be made to the court that originally issued the bailiffs certificate. This is a relatively simple process and the complaint is made on a Court document entitled: Form 4….Complaint against a Certificated Bailiff. This form can be completed online or you may print a copy. There is no fee to pay.
Once the court receives your completed Form 4, they will send a report to the bailiff and any other interested party: normally the company that employs the bailiff. The Court will require that the bailiff delivers back to the court a written response within 14 days (or longer, if the court agrees).
The Judge will read the written response from the bailiff and, if he is satisfied as to the bailiff's fitness to hold a certificate, the court will issue a notice to the bailiff to that effect and no further action shall be taken in respect of that complaint.
If the bailiff fails to deliver the reply within the time specified, or, if upon reading the reply, the Judge is unsatisfied as to the bailiff's fitness to hold a certificate, the court will issue a notice summoning the bailiff to appear before the Judge on a specified date and show cause why his certificate should not be cancelled. If the bailiff fails to appear at court, the Judge can proceed with the hearing.
You will be informed of the date of the hearing and you may attend and make a statement if you wish. We would certainly advise you to do this.
If you wish to attend , but cannot travel to the court where the hearing will be heard, you may apply to that court for the hearing to be transferred to a court with jurisdiction to issue bailiff certificates nearer to you.
What can the judge do
After the hearing the Judge may take the following action:
- Order compensation to be paid to you. This means that the judge can award you a sum of money from the "Bailiff Bond".
- Cancel the bailiff's certificate. This means that the bailiff will no longer be entitled to levy distress for rent, road traffic debts, council tax or non-domestic rates; or
- Dismiss your complaint.
Any complaint must be dealt with at the court where the bailiff was granted his certificate. Your local County Court can find this information for you or alternatively there is a telephone number on the Form 4.
The grounds for complaint
- Their behaviour has been unduly aggressive, rude or threatening.
- They have levied irregularly. This means that the correct goods have been seized, but the procedures followed were not correct e.g. the bailiff sells your goods after you had paid the debt.
- The bailiff has levied excessively. This means that the value of the goods seized from you is more than the amount of the debt, or that you have paid an excessive amount to the bailiff. If more money is raised at auction than the debt, (this includes the fees, the cost or removing your goods and the cost of selling them), the balance should be returned to you. A levy is not excessive if there are no other goods that can be seized.
- They have levied illegally. This means that they have levied on goods which cannot be seized; (i.e. goods that are not yours).
Before completing the form
If possible, you will need to ensure that you have first written to the bailiff company to request a complete breakdown of the fees and charges. By law, they must comply with this. Their response to your request is very important in order to establish whether they have overcharged you.
What to include
It would be most helpful to the District judge if you were to include a copy of the reply to your Subject Access Request. If the company have not complied, provide any copy letters etc. Enclose a copy of any receipts that the bailiff may have left you. If the bailiff seized goods that are not yours, again provide details.
If your complaint concerns an allegation about rudeness or bullying or the manner in which he conducted his visit, provide a statement, if possible from anyone who may have witnessed this. Remember to keep copies.

Dear Abby: Writing skills learned early pay off big
Dear Abby: I am delighted that you still offer the booklet "How to Write Letters for All Occasions." When I was in my early teens, I ordered this booklet from you. It taught me not only how to write letters, but it gave me confidence to write -- letters and more.
I have continued to write letters throughout my life. My skills, honed at such a young age, helped me in completing the required writing during college and in my working life. I am called upon to write many letters, reports and memorandums.
I am always complimented on my style and form, as well as the speed with which I am able to produce the needed documents.
Although I often use e-mail for communication, my writing skills serve me well. I now do some creative writing as well, having built on the skills I attained through your booklet.
Most important of all, it is a wonderful feeling to have stayed connected with friends and family over the years.
A letter is an enduring reminder of love and friendship -- one that exists far longer than a phone call. Thank you. -- Katherine In Stockton, Calif.
Dear Katherine: Thank you for your beautiful letter and for letting me know how helpful my booklet has been for you. Letter-writing and e-mailing can be difficult for many people who aren't used to organizing their thoughts on paper or while viewing their computer screen.
Some don't know what to say, while others are afraid they'll say the wrong thing. But anyone can write a letter or e-mail by following a few basic rules. With the holiday season upon us and people sending greetings and thank-you messages through the end of the year, this is the perfect time to send a handwritten letter or a well-written e-mail.
While letter-writing or e-mailing may always be a chore to some people, there are occasions when the most appropriate, sensitive and elegant means of communicating one's thoughts is by the written word.
Dear Abby: Why don't men wear their wedding rings? I can understand if they work in construction or something. But I see men at my medical office wearing suits, and while they wait for their appointments they talk about their wives, with no ring in sight. What gives? -- Single And Wondering In Kansas
Dear Single And Wondering: What "gives" is that some men are not comfortable wearing jewelry, and their wives don't insist upon it.

Strategic planning is an evolving process
The world of strategic planning in healthcare has become more complex, with concepts such as "scenario planning," "game theory" and "nonlinear analysis" being discussed in hospital C-suites across the country.
But experts say that while a few select healthcare organizations are attempting to apply advanced principles to their operations, most would be sufficiently served by a basic blueprint that addresses their biggest challenges, organizes priorities, formulates an action plan and implements rational methodologies. Only when they have mastered the fundamentals should executives consider higher degrees of planning sophistication, consultants working in the field suggest.
Healthcare organizations have collectively become more astute on the topic of strategic planning, acknowledges Alan M. Zuckerman, founding partner and director of Philadelphia-based Health Strategies & Solutions. Yet the healthcare industry's unique business dynamics continue to force its leaders to improvise their own systems instead of adopting proven structures that have worked well in other industries, he said.
"The complexity of the healthcare environment makes the responses much less cookie-cutter and much more tailored," Zuckerman said. "When we look outside healthcare, we see all sorts of sophisticated ideas that leaders may want to incorporate. But outside of healthcare, strategic planning works in a different way – from the bottom up rather than the top down."
Because of differences in the nature of the industry, healthcare cannot emulate successful mega-corporations such as General Electric and Shell Oil, Zuckerman said. What's more, those giant corporations have the advantage of economic longevity, which has given them the wherewhithal to develop sophisticated strategic plans.
"Shell and GE approach strategic planning very differently," he said. "The corporate office sets policies and overall goals and lets their subsidiaries develop their own business plans based on that. In healthcare, everything is driven down from the top."
Even though healthcare organizations aren't able to duplicate master plans being practiced by Fortune 500 companies, however, they are making distinct progress in their own way at their own rate, Zuckerman observes.
"The outside world has become more sophisticated, and healthcare mirrors that," he said. "Hospitals are showing a greater aptitude for strategic planning. As tools and techniques get better and the environment gets more complex, organizations are moving in the same direction along with it."
While revenues, expenditures, patient safety, security and various other administrative challenges are high on healthcare providers' list of concerns, consultant Jan Jennings warns that they should be more worried about an ominous two-headed issue: The baby boomers' massive influx into the healthcare patient base and its subsequent pressure on an already understaffed healthcare workforce.
"It is the 'pig in the python,' " said Jennings, president and CEO of Pittsburgh-based American Healthcare Solutions. "The boomers will start to enter the Medicare program in four years. In 14 years, 78 million of 300 million people in the U.S. will be regularly using the healthcare system. And the population coming up behind them is not exactly enamored with the healthcare profession, so that is extremely concerning."
To date, executive reactions to the situation have gone two ways, Jennings said – "apathy because they'll be gone or deer in the headlights." Until the healthcare industry begins to seriously address the looming crisis of patient bulge vs. versus labor drought, other issues won't matter, he said.
The physician sector is also evolving in its strategic planning capabilities as practices search for ways to navigate the increasingly choppy financial waters, say consultants at BKD Health Care Group in Fort Wayne, Ind.
"Physicians realize they need to think strategically in order to figure out how to proceed with issues like succession and compensation plans," senior manager Mark Blessing said. "Succession, in particular, is a big one, because, as older physicians leave the group, it creates a huge void."
Devising a strategic plan is especially valuable in helping practices identify key challenges and organize their priorities, added partner Tom Cottrell.
"They need to identify, prioritize and execute," he said. "We can help them get their issues out on the table and flush out what really matters, but we can't make their decisions for them."
Blessing says physicians typically see the strategic planning process as disruptive and laborious, but adds that this attitude is understandable.
"It's hard for them to hang up their provider hats and put on their employer hats," he said. "They put in full days as doctors, and then they have to do their part-time jobs at night. It is hard for them to muster the energy to do it."
Even so, when they are able to focus on the task at hand, they usually excel at it and appreciate its importance, Blessing said.

Recent years have seen several attempts to redefine aesthetics as a discipline and rehabilitate it as a mode of inquiry in literary studies. Sometimes pronounced a movement, these attempts found their common credo in the title of Jonathan Loesberg's book A Return to Aesthetics (2005). The justificatory rhetoric of calls for such a return reflects the poor standing aesthetics had in literary theory for some years. Charged with supporting ideological constructs by theorists as divergent as Terry Eagleton and Paul de Man, aesthetics came under criticism for its claim to autonomy as well as for the metaphysical presuppositions associated with its mediating function between the sensible and the intelligible in the systems of classical German philosophy. Conversely, it is precisely this 'impurity' or 'confusion' of aesthetics as a field between sense (as meaning) and the senses that has attracted recent reflections on its political, ethical, and experiential import. Other aesthetic returns have called for renewed inquiry into the perennial topics of connections between art, truth, and knowledge.
Questions we hope to address include: What are the (political, ethical, cognitive) uses and abuses of aesthetics? Can aesthetic approaches provide a framework for thinking about the experiences art affords us or do we have to move 'beyond aesthetics' to theorize relations between art and thought today? Have returns to aesthetics given satisfactory answers to the charges directed against it? What becomes of aesthetics once it is stripped of its function in the philosophical systems to which it owes its constitution as a discipline? What is the status of aesthetics in literary studies, and how should we understand the relations between aesthetics and cultural studies in contemporary approaches to the humanities? What is the potential for critical aesthetics across the disciplines today? And what can disciplines in which aesthetics has not been configured in constellations of crisis contribute to the discussion?
Suggested topics:
Aesthetics as a mode of perception
The materiality of aesthetic experience
The literary absolute
Aesthetic sensibility and theorizations of the body
Phenomenological approaches to aesthetic experience
Aesthetics and ideology
Autonomy and heteronomy of/through aesthetics
Ethics and politics of aesthetics
Taste, aesthetic experience and aesthetic properties
The content of aesthetic judgments
The beautiful and the sublime
Aesthetics and/vs. aestheticism and 'new formalism'
Aesthetic and cultural studies approaches to literature and art
Aesthetics and popular culture
Aesthetics and digital arts
Aesthetics and related fields:
stylistics, sound studies, cognitive studies
The classical German tradition of aesthetics: Kant, Schiller, Schelling, Hegel and beyond
Adornian and Post-Adornian Aesthetics
Aesthetics 'beyond aesthetics:'
inaesthetics, para-aesthetics, anti-aesthetics
Please submit an abstract of 250 words or less no later than January 5, 2011 to conference organizers Ana-Maria Andrei and Johannes Wankhammer at email@example.com. Abstracts must include a cover letter with the author's name, paper title, affiliation, telephone number and email address, and be in the form of *.doc or *.docx files. Presentations are to last 20 minutes and must be in English. Submissions are accepted from graduate students only. Submissions from all fields relevant to the topic are welcome.

Its products include hot tubs, whirlpool baths, air baths, soaking baths, showers, sink and toilet suites, as well as other plumbing products, and are marketed under a widely recognized portfolio of brand names, including JACUZZI®, SUNDANCE® and ASTRACAST®.
In the early 1900s, seven Jacuzzi brothers successfully revolutionized hydraulic pumps for use in aviation and agriculture. In the 1950s, the youngest of the brothers ingeniously customized the industrial hydraulic pump for at-home use to ease the discomfort of his son's rheumatoid arthritis. The home whirlpool treatment brought comfort to his son and initiated a small niche business.
In 1968, the Jacuzzi entrepreneurial spirit was carried on by third generation family member, Roy Jacuzzi, who created a market for jetted bath products. Roy Jacuzzi invented the Roman, the world's first modern, self-contained whirlpool bath – setting in motion a new era in hydrotherapy by making its benefits accessible, efficient and desirable for all. Shortly after, the company invented the first portable hot tub.

As the key inventor of the hot tub and whirlpool bath categories nearly 40 years ago, and with more than 250 patents worldwide for innovations in pump systems, jet technology, air controls and product design, Jacuzzi branded products continue to deliver the optimal hydrotherapy experience.

Ozonated Oil for Golden Retriever's recurring ear infection
Message: 1
Date: Fri, 01 Jun 2001 14:06:05 -0000
From: email@example.com
Subject: Ozonated olive oil
I have an ozonated olive oil story to share. I have a Golden Retriever who is truly my best friend. She had a recurring ear infection that just would not disappear. I got her as an adult and I have a suspicion that her previous owners got rid of her because they could not afford the ongoing treatments. Traditional cleaning and meds would not help. The infection would erupt and her ear oozed badly, approximately every 8-10 weeks. Visits to the vet are very expensive for me. My vet wanted to do all types of testing...$$$$. After consulting with Saul, I scraped a little OOO into an eyedropper bottle and put it into my pocket in to warm it gently. I then put a few drops into her ear, every day for a few weeks.
Previously, while her infection was in its inactive period, the inside of her ear was never white, like the other. It always had a pinkish tinge to it.
I am so thrilled. The inside of the ear is white, there is no sign of infection. I will be putting in a few drops in prophylactically every two weeks from now on. I have no doubt that my vet would not approve of putting olive oil in a dogs ear.

Who You Should Call If You Trip On A Tree Root In Seattle
Seattle is well-known as a city that loves its trees. The city even has a plan to increase its tree canopy to cover 30 percent of its open skies by the year 2037.
But the trees can sometimes get out of hand. Their powerful roots can be downright treacherous when they push through sidewalks.
So, what to do if you see one that has you worried? Or if you stub your toe on a bulging root?
Brennan Staley, a senior planner with Seattle's Department of Planning and Development, says if you stub your toe or even break your leg on a tree root, there's only about a one in six chance that the city is liable, as there are six privately-owned trees to every city-owned tree in Seattle. You can call a hotline to find out which is the case for a specific tree: 684-TREE, or 206-684-8733.
I called the hotline, and city arborist Nolan Rudnquist patiently answered all of my questions. Rundquist says the city has three or four arborist-inspectors they can send to check out problematic trees.
"That's one of the things we do want to know about, is if there's any sidewalk uplifts or anything like that out there. I'm the guy to touch base with to find out whether it's the city's responsibility to repair the walk, or it's the property owner's responsibility," Rundquist said.
The city's to-do list is long, however, so don't expect a fix overnight.
But even if it's not a city-owned tree causing the problem, the city will put in a shim to smooth out the sidewalk and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. And the city will work with the tree owner to get it fixed. If a removal is necessary, the city may even have a free tree to plant in its place.
There are a number of places that need attention, including whole neighborhoods where trees were planted for the World's Fair in 1961. Those trees are outgrowing their original spaces, and the city has been working to replant and care for the ones that can be saved.
But the city can't act unless people call.
