Huge Amount of Oxycontin Taken in Robbery
News 12
January 29, 2007
Law enforcement agencies across the area are on alert for a possible surge of a dangerous drug... Oxycontin. Informants are being pressured, rewards are coming forward, and the heat is on to find out who robbed the Berry Pharmacy in New Richmond, Sunday afternoon.
In a story you'll see only on Local 12, investigators are telling our Rich Jaffe that it's one of the largest Oxycontin robberies this area has ever seen.
On the streets, one single 80 milligram Oxycontin pill sells for 80 dollars, one dollar per milligram. Sunday afternoon, a thief hit Berry Pharmacy for a motherload of Oxycontin, more than five thousand tablets worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on the streets.
Chief Dave Willoughby, New Richmond Police: "My biggest fear is that the, with this large amount of Oxycontin being out on the streets, that it will get into the hands of people who don't know how dangerous it is to abuse it, whether they take it by swallowing it, snorting it or injecting it, it could be lethal immediately."
On the market since 1995, Oxycontin is called the heroin of the Midwest. Illegal demand for it has grown in the last few years, since it became tougher to make Methamphetamine.
"Investigators say they believe the owner of the pharmacy was parked behind the shop and when he came out to his vehicle to get something out of it, the thief was hiding behind one of these walls. He came up to the owner, stuck a gun in his ribs, and then forced him back inside into the pharmacy."
Joe Lutmer, Pharmacist: "The criminal is always going to think you have some, so no matter how much you have in stock, I don't think it keeps you safe, they're going to take what you have, they're out for one thing and that is to get the Oxycontin."
At Tischbein Pharmacy in Hyde Park, they have camera's, an alarm system, and a police station two blocks away. With never more than a small amount of Oxycontin on hand, it still puts people at risk.
"If it's taken correctly, Oxycontin will supplement pain management. If it's crushed and snorted and injected, it will kill you."
Rich Jaffe, Local 12.
A spokesman for Purdue Pharma, the company that manufactures Oxycontin, tells us that in the last few years, the company has spent more than 325 million dollars to test and develop drugs that are more abuse resistant. They've also partnered with law enforcement agencies to try and crack down on Oxycontin abuse and robberies. Purdue is offering a one thousand dollar reward through CrimeStoppers for information leading to the arrest of people involved in the New Richmond robbery.

She's always been sexy, glamourous and stunning, but this week Kelly Preston is saying she hasn't looked this good since high school! The 49-year-old actress, wife of John Travolta, and new mom has lost 42 pounds, she tells PEOPLE, and is feeling pretty good about it. Not only does she say she's fitting in size 4 skinny jeans, a first since high school, but says "I have more energy than I've had in 20 years."
She and Travolta had son Benjamin 14 months ago; She admits to feeding pregnancy cravings for powdered donuts and cinnamon muffins. She left the hospital feeling as though she looked as pregnant as when she arrived and feared she'd never lose the extra 20 pounds. Benjamin's birth brought them so much joy (they're son Jett died at age 16 in 2009) that she said "if I had to weigh more for the rest of my life because of it, then I would have." But like any other woman, she wasn't looking forward to it.
She traded in acting and strenuous workouts and spent a year focusing on herself, playing basketball or swimming with her 11-year-old daughter, Ella, and playing tennis with Travolta. She also got a little help from her friend Kirstie Alley, or rather, her friend's weight loss brand Organic Liaison. She started by drinking Organic Liaison's Rescue Me, and credits the natural weight loss supplement with helping her lose practically all of her post-pregnancy weight. (more…)

During a 4-year period as consultant to a children's orthopedic hospital, Los Angeles Unit of the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children, I have observed children from birth to 15 years of age with congenital and acquired orthopedic disabilities of varying degrees of incapacity. The emotional responses to these handicaps have differed in each individual according to many variables so that it is not possible to state there is a common personality pattern to the group. The variations are determined by such things as (a) the family's neurotic structure; (b) the type and extent of the disability; (c) the sex of the child; (d) the age of onset in the child with the correspondence of psychic conflict extant at the time the disability first occurred; (e) the use the child and the family have made of the disability to become the focus of other problems; (f) the quantity

The ice and snow that blanketed my area during the past eight days brought most everything to a halt except plans to paint. Thanks to a few handy family members, I now have green walls (and even some tulips from the grocery store -- harbingers-of-spring and reminders of this Tory Burch print).
In person, the walls are a verdant shade that partners well with blues ranging from turquoise to the deepest indigo.
So, as soon as I can gather the supplies, I'm anxious to finally try a little hand-block-printing on blue fabric. The new pattern-filled flipbook and latest offerings at Les Indiennes are definitely inspiring me.
But in terms of indigo, it's an exhibition -- Global Patterns: Dress and Textiles in Africa -- opening at MFA, Boston, in April that I'm excited about.
This is actually the second major African textile exhibition on the 2011 calendar that I've mentioned in recent weeks. (Weaving Abstraction: Kuba Textiles and the Woven Art of Central Africa will open at The Textile Museum in October.) Celebrating the work of African tailors, bead embroiderers, weavers and dyers, the Boston show explores centuries of artistic exchange within the Continent as well as design innovations sparked by trade with India, Indonesia, and Europe. According to the MFA, Yoruba indigo-dyed cloths (Adire) are among the varied pieces to be highlighted. Click here for details.
Update: 1.22.11.
Roughly a week later...

Heather moorland is important for hen harriers but it's also an incredibly special place in its own right. Did you know the UK has around 75 per cent of all the heather moorland in the world? That means that as a country, we have a big responsibility to look after it and all the wildlife and biodiversity that depends on it.
And that's a lot of diversity! Because when we talk about heather moorland, we're not just talking about one habitat. It's actually a whole patchwork of different types of vegetation – wet heath, dry heath, blanket bog, and more – all mixed together and each with its own characteristic plants and specific management requirements.
In fact the importance of the moorland habitat and its value for wildlife is recognised in the many national and international designations it has received, including Special Protection Areas (SPA), Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs), Special Areas for Conservation (SAC) and National Parks, to name a few!
Spend a day out in the heather and depending on where you are, you might see a curlew, black grouse, ring ouzel, field vole, merlin, short-eared owl, adder, red grouse, golden plover, a carnivorous sundew plant, meadow pipit, or even a hen harrier!
it's not just wildlife that benefits from moorland. They act as a natural reservoir
And it's not just wildlife that benefits from moorland. Most of our rain falls in the uplands and moorlands act as a natural reservoir, slowly releasing it into rivers and streams to supply the water that comes out of our taps.
If the moorland is poorly managed, over-burned, or overgrazed by sheep, it exposes the bare peat. The peat is then easily washed away by rain and gets into the streams, turning the water brown, the colour of stewed tea!
Without the mossy covering to help soak up the rain, this can also increase the likelihood of flooding in towns and valleys downstream. But, if we manage the moorlands well and protect the peat by growing sphagnum mosses, bilberry and heather, then the colour of the water is much improved.
The peat has taken more than 5,000 years to develop. It is made up of dead sphagnum mosses and has locked up thousands of tonnes of carbon. If the peat loses its cover of vegetation, or if it is dried out by over-drainage, the carbon is released into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change.
By blocking up drainage ditches (also known as grips) and holding on to that precious wetness, we can ensure the continued growth of the mosses that form the peat and protect the bugs and beasties that rely on it, like craneflies and dragonflies. In doing so, not only can we reduce the losses, but active wet bogs can actually soak up additional carbon from the atmosphere, helping buffer both ourselves and wildlife from the effects of a warming climate.
It may look wild and untouched but in reality, the moorland landscape has been managed by people for hundreds of years. Grazing by sheep and cattle through upland hill farming and management for grouse shooting have created and shaped the moors as we know them today.

President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney, both of whom had avoided direct discussion of gun laws in the immediate aftermath of last week's mass shooting in Colorado, broke their silence last night.
Obama, speaking at a National Urban League meeting in New Orleans, stressed the need to strengthen existing data-driven background checks and ensure that "mentally unbalanced" individuals cannot access firearms.
"These steps shouldn't be controversial," he said, according to CNN. "They should be common sense."
Obama did not share any specific plans (a White House spokesman said this weekend that he is focused on enforcing existing laws not pushing new legislation), but he did suggest that certain guns are not fit for personal use.
"I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms," he said, per Fox News. "...But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not on the streets of our cities."
Romney, in an interview with NBC's Brian Williams, argued the need for "changing the heart of the American people" instead of changing existing laws.
"Political implications, legal implications are something which will be sorted out down the road," Romney said from London, the first stop on his week-long tour abroad. "But I don't happen to believe that America needs new gun laws. A lot of what this young man did was clearly against the law. But the fact that it was against the law did not prevent it from happening."
Authorities believe suspected gunman James Holmes used legally purchased firearms -- an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun and at least one Glock semi-automatic pistol -- to kill 12 individuals and wound more than 50 others in a crowded movie theater in Aurora.
Earlier this week, a small group of Washington Democrats backed legislation that would ban high-capacity ammunition clips, such as the type Holmes allegedly bought online. Others discussed renewing a federal assault
rifle weapon ban* that expired in 2004. Romney approved a simialr state-level ban in 2002 as governor of Massachusets.
Michigan native Michael Moore, appearing on CNN Tuesday night, called on Obama to break his silence on gun laws, arguing that the "the president has to be the leader" on the issue. The outspoken activist, whose Academy Award-winning film "Bowling for Columbine" was inspired by a 1999 school shooting in Colorado, argued the need for stricter gun laws.
His comments led to a vigorous debate here on MLive, with several readers moving beyond the source to discuss the merits of his arguments.
Some readers argued, like Romney, that tougher gun laws would have done little to prevent the Aurora shooter from finding a way to kill. Instead, they wrote, such laws would simply impinge upon their rights as responsible citizens.
whiteone: Mr. Moore please understand that when a persons mind is made up, he/she will execute their mission by any means necessary. Meaning creating tougher laws will serve no real purpose.
Look at it this way, does having a PPO on another person going to stop them from stalking you? No! Therefore, is having strict gun laws going to stop BAD people from using guns in a destructive manner. No! Use Illinois and their tough gun laws as an example. Better yet, committing murder will earn a offender life in prison, has this punishment eased the murder rate.? Again, no!
People need to be stricter on there own behaviors... Tougher gun laws means a further violation on my constitutional rights.
Other readers foreshadowed the remarks made by the president last night, arguing that stronger laws could keep unnecessarily-strong guns out of the hands of criminals who would misuse them.
Bigbambu: ...even though I lived in the Murder Capital of the US for 10 years. Never once had problems and never once thought I needed a gun for protection. Using a little common sense can go a long ways. Don't get me wrong - I have no problems with gun ownership in the right hands. It seesm to me, however, that we need a few common sense laws and some stronger enforcement to keep them out of the bad guys hands - and getting 60,000 rounds by pointing and clicking is just too easy. And an AK 47 isn't for self defense - it is for killing a lot of people like a gang banger or a pscycho.
Moore's comments also promoted an interesting discussion over concealed weapons. While Colorado issues concealed-carry permits, the movie theater chain reportedly promotes a no-gun policy. Some readers opined that a responsible gun owner may have been able to step in and prevent the tragedy, but others made the case that additional guns might have escalated the violence by enraging a shooter who reportedly was wearing bullet-proof Kevlar for protection.
Feel free to continue the discussion in the comments section below. Let's keep it civil, and if you're going to make factual assertions, try to share links so others can verify.
*This post was updated to correctly reference the expired "assault weapons ban" that targeted specific semi-automatic firearms.

As much as I love the holidays, there are always a few sleepless nights tossing and turning trying to figure out what to get those "P" people on my shopping list. The "P" people are the picky, practical and the probably-got- it.
Let's Start with Picky
These are the teenagers in my life. It seems no matter what, I can't seem to find the right size, colour or style to meet their demands. Almost every year, my hours of wandering through the mall are pointless as my gift selections are returned the week after Christmas. This year I have a return-proof gift that is sure to bring a genuine smile to their face. Plus, it will keep one less person out of the return line. My answer...wireless headphones.
Wireless headphones are now a must have electronic accessory for any teenager who wants to stay connected to their tunes without the hassles of a wire. My top picks for wireless headphones are below. I have a feeling no matter what choice I make, I can't go wrong.
Now for the Practical Ones
These gift recipients should be easy to buy for, but pose a challenge as they tend to re-gift what you give them. Generally, the practical ones prefer a gift that they can get plenty of use out of and prefer something that can save them time and/or money. For them I like to stock-up their home office.
A supply of printer ink, paper supplies and batteries may seem boring to you and I, but for the practical minded they just saved themselves a few trips to the store. I've found that these items can make great stocking stuffers or be packaged together for one big gift. With that in mind, I've found the ultimate gift for my practical friend…
And Finally the "Probably-Got-It"
These people are always the biggest pain, and usually are the last to be crossed off my list. Too many last minute shopping panics have been caused by this troublesome bunch, it is time to make a stand!
I hope this helps your gift purchasing journey this season, good luck!

How's the MOG download feature? Does it work for both PC and Mobile without having internet connection to play (true offline play)? I've read through all the pages on their site with no avail.
I might've been a bit harsh, it sounds better than 160kbps but definitely not as good as other albums. I'll know on Wednesday as the album is coming in from Amazon.

It's quite a change. Back in the early days they made their music with a lot of digital equipment. Later they converted it to be played by an orchestra, quite a challenge for that orchestra. But when you listen to the "with orchestra" album you can say they did a very nice job. With the new album they chose again to take a different path. This album "reflection" is made with only analog instruments (don't know if "analog" is the right word for it). To record the album, they visited multiple different houses. Each instrument is recorded in the room where the acoustics for that instrument suits best. On the website of Hooverphonic you can view the hooverdomestic video series where they show you the recording of the album.
So it's an interesting step they made and you can hear that on the album. The sound is more natural, pure and honest. It's first single of the album is a big success, so much that they decided to postpone the second single for a while :-)
I've seen them live twice now. One time with orchestra and yesterday without. I hope that they decide to also convert this album to a with an orchestra version

Random Book Blogging: The 'Remarkable' Prophetic History Of Bob Jones
On several recent "Prophetic Perspective on Current Events" programs, host Rick Joyner has gone on and on about the amazing prophetic gifts possessed by his close ally and friend, Bob Jones. This is not the Bob Jones of the infamous Bob Jones University, but rather a modern day prophet who met the Arch Angel Gabriel when he was only seven years old.
Jones appeared on Joyner's program just last week and on Monday's broadcast, Joyner spent the bulk of the program marveling about what a "legend" Jones is, calling him "one of the most remarkable prophetic voices ... in our times."
Joyner's relentless fawning over Jones reminded us of this short excerpt from John MacArthur's recent book "Strange Fire: The Danger of Offending the Holy Spirit with Counterfeit Worship," which presents a rather different view of Jones and the entire movement of self-proclaimed modern day prophets and apostles that he, Joyner and their ilk inhabit :
Perhaps the most bizarre admission of modern prophetic error came during an extended interchange between self-proclaimed prophets Mike Bickle and Bob Jones—two of the most well-known figures associated with the Kansas City Prophets. While discussing the topic of "visions and revelations," Bickle asked Jones to talk about the numerous times his prophecies have been wrong. Here is a transcript of their conversation:
Mike Bickle: "Tell them about the error in your life; the measure of error that you have and the measure of accuracy, 'cause I want people to understand a little bit about that?"
Bob Jones: "Well, I've had a lot of measure of error in my life. I remember once that I got into pride. Every time I get into pride, boy, Papa [God] sure knows how to pop my bubble. And I got into pride and called a church into a three-day fast and told them that certain things was going to happen, and they went into a three-day fast. It was terrible. And after that three-day fast—it was terrible, and the Spirit didn't even show up that night ...."
Mike Bickle: "You called people to a fast?"
Bob Jones: "I sure did, and it wasn't of the Lord; it was of my pride. I thought you could force the Lord to do something through fasting—boy, I found out real quick you couldn't. So there's a bunch of old saints that was ready to stone me, and so I was ready to get out of there and I went home like any good prophet, and I resigned. And I bawled and I squalled and I finally went to sleep and when I went to sleep the Lord come and took hold of my hand. And [in my vision] I was about like this little girl right here ... only I was in a lot worse shape because I had a Pamper [diaper] on and I had really messed it good. It was running down both of my legs. And the Lord had a hold of my hand and I was a bawlin' and a squallin'. . . . And I heard a voice sort of speak, puzzled I can say, 'What happened to Bob?' And my [heavenly] counselor spoke up and said, 'He had an accident."
Mike Bickle: "Spoke some wrong words."
Bob Jones: "'Yeah. He had an accident. He messed his Pamper real bad: And I think, 'Oh boy, here it comes.' And then I really got a surprise. A gentle, tender voice said, That boy needs more insurance. Let him know we've got him covered from them accidents. Give him a higher insurance policy.' That wasn't what I was looking for because I just resigned. 'Clean him up—tell him to go back into the body and prophesy twice as much. This time, he'll do what I'll tell him to: The next thing I knew I was back in bed, and boy, I come awake and man, I mean sweat was rolling down." ...
Mike Bickle: "So there has been errors; there's been a number of errors."
Bob Jones: "Oh, hundreds of them."
Jones's comments illustrate two of the primary problems with modern prophecy: it is chock-full of errors and inaccuracies, and it abounds with a level of sacrilegious lunacy that certainly does not find its source in God. Jones may have chosen just the right analogy in comparing his prophetic errors to a dirty diaper, but he is wrong about everything else. His claims to be a true prophet are obviously bogus. He does not have true visions of heaven. And God has certainly not given him "insurance" that allows him to get away with hundreds of errors as if it's no big deal.
Fewer than three years after that interview, Bob Jones was temporarily removed from public ministry by the Metro Vineyard Fellowship of Kansas City in Olathe, Kansas, whose senior pastor was none other than Mike Bickle. It had come to light that Jones was using false "prophecies" as a means of gaining trust from women whom he then abused sexually. "The sins for which [he was] removed from ministry include[d] using his gifts to manipulate people for his personal desires, sexual misconduct, rebelling against pastoral authority, slandering leaders and the promotion of bitterness within the body of Christ." He nevertheless returned to the charismatic limelight after a short hiatus, and as of this writing, he is still speaking in charismatic churches, presenting himself as an anointed prophet of God, and making prophecies that are demonstrably false and often patently ridiculous.' Thousands of gullible charismatics still hang on his every word—as if all the scandal and false prophesying never happened. The fact that Jones's online biography compares his ministry to that of the prophet Daniel only heightens the blasphemous nature of the whole fiasco.

Ciao, sono Laurence!
Nimega, Paesi Bassi · Membro da Giugno 2011
I'm a researcher in neuroscience, and my main interests are literature and travel. Originally from Ireland, I've worked and travelled across South America, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, Turkey, Syria and bits of Northern Africa - doing variously, high school teaching, writing, and research in neuroscience labs. Outside of trains, books, and strange villages with names that are hard to pronounce, I like hiking and swimming, especially when I get back to Tipperary (Ireland) where I grew up.

The motivation you feel as you mull over your ambitions will likely be incredibly strong today. Your need to attain what attracts you can overshadow the dismay you feel when circumstances do not unfold as you expected. You can use this heightened drive to your advantage by channeling it into your efforts at home and at work as it will likely feed your stamina and strength as you struggle to make headway. If you choose to initiate a new project today, your commitment to the task at hand and your enterprising attitude toward hard work can give you the advantage you need to accomplish almost anything.
There is little we cannot do when we are motivated to succeed because we are willing to take whatever actions are necessary to bring about the results we so ardently wish to achieve. It is this motivation born of inspiration and self-trust that carries us forward, even when our life paths seem too challenging to bear. We are never without some course of action open to us because we recognize that we always have a choice, even if the only choice we can make is to bide our time patiently until opportunity once again appears before us. Novelty cannot faze us, and we feel comfortable initiating new projects because we understand that there is merit in failure just as there is satisfaction in success. Your enterprising spirit will guide you forward today, helping you overcome the obstacles that block your path without ever losing your optimism.

Beer City USA? Let's Sit This One Out
Charlie's doing it again this year (though mercifully, the poll is only open a week, not months like last year). And again the only two cities who are competing are Portland and Asheville. Personally, I find the whole business unseemly. I say let Asheville (where the poll has made the local news) run away with it. Who cares? Better yet, vote for a different city altogether, one deserving of the attention. This year I voted for San Francisco, mainly because Jay Brooks seems genuinely disappointed that no one there is voting for his fair city. Lord knows it's a better choice than Asheville.
Portlanders, let's be dignified this year. We can watch it with amusement from one of our 33 breweries. Sit it out. And go San Fran!

Per your suggestion, I just cast my vote for San Fran (I voted for Portland last year). Asheville seems to have a sizable lead though. Ahh well. I live in Texas, which wouldn't even make a long list of beer states. *sigh*

I was disappointed that Sacramento wasn't on the list; we might not be up there with Portland or SF, but we've got a solid portfolio of good beers.

I know, I read this the other day and just shrugged. I have far too many beer related events going on to sit in front of a computer refreshing and voting on a ridiculous poll.
- 3:17 PM, May 18, 2010
Wow, talk about some west coast bias. I don't know why you're hating on Asheville. It is a fantastic beer city, well deserving of the title of the best beer city in the country. Have you ever been to Asheville? Have you been a part of the beer culture there? Have you been to the breweries? The idea of anointing the title of "Beer City USA" may be silly, but why the hate towards Asheville? Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Jared, I believe you've made a far greater comment about your own bias than mine. Where's the "hate?"
- 9:24 AM, May 19, 2010
Oh, I am definitely biased. I love the town of Asheville and make a trip there whenever I can. However, I don't begrudge the city of Portland the fact that it's a fantastic beer city as well.
This comment seems to suggest you have some issues with Asheville - "Lord knows it's a better choice than Asheville."
This ending statement is a tad bit smug as well don't you think? "We can watch it with amusement from one of our 33 breweries."
I can see saying that the poll is silly since there is no objective way to reach the conclusion of the best beer city in the US. That's no reason to look down on other cities and the passion people have for their beer there.
As an aside, the "news" you mentioned about in Asheville is actually a column written by the guy who writes about beer related things in the food section of the Asheville paper. Seems appropriate for him to mention the poll, same as your blog.
- 11:16 AM, May 19, 2010

Jared, I would love to see Asheville emerge as a major center of brewing. The South is trailing the rest of the country in terms of developing beer culture, and Asheville's example is heartening to all of us. And actually, Ashville winning the poll would be great--anything to boost an up-and-comer.
My post is mainly a wish not to be caught up in the drama again this year (a score on which, clearly, I've already failed). Portland doesn't need the recognition, and since Asheville and Portland tied last year, I was encouraging folks to vote a different city.
Looks like Asheville will win it outright this year, so possibly that will settle matters.
- 11:42 AM, May 19, 2010
Maybe Asheville and Portland can create an exchange program. Portland can invite 5-10 Asheville Beer Lovers to Oregon and show them the Portland Beer scene. Asheville can host the same exchange. Sounds like a learning experience for both sides.

Thanks for recognizing San Francisco as the rightful owner of the BeerCity crown... ;)

Debt CollectionPosted Tuesday, April 3, 2012, at 9:34 AM
Sometimes in these difficult economic times it's hard to make ends meet. As the saying goes "Just when I thought I was going to be able to make ends meet someone moved the end." That can happen to most of us at one time or another. That may be when we start getting those phone calls from "Debt Collectors." One of the things we need to remember is they are just doing their job, they probably don't want to call you anymore than you want to hear from them. But according to a brochure by the Federal Trade Commission there are rules that must be followed.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act requires debt collectors to treat you fairly and certain methods of debt collection are prohibited. Personal, family and household debts are covered under the Act. A collector may contact you in person, by mail, telephone, telegram, or fax. They may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. unless you agree. They may not contact you at work if you tell them that your employer disapproves of such contacts.
If you write a letter telling a debt collector to stop contacting you they must stop. This does not mean that the debt will go away, they may decide at that time to take other methods to collect the debt such as garnishment or court action.
The collector may contact someone else to find out where you live, what your phone number is and where you work. Generally they are prohibited from contacting such third parties more than once. In most cases they are not allowed to tell anyone other than you and your attorney that you owe money.
Within five days after you are first contacted, the collector must send you a written notice telling you the amount of money you owe, the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money and what action to take if you believe you do not owe the money.
If you feel you do not owe the debt you should send a letter to the collection agency within 30 days saying so. However, a collector can renew collection activities if you are sent proof of the debt, such as a copy of the bill for the amount owed.
The debt collector may not use threats of violence or harm; they may not publish a list of consumers who refuse to pay their debts (except to a credit bureau); they may not use obscene or profane language or repeatedly use the telephone to annoy someone. Neither shall they use false or misleading statements, for example: they may not falsely imply that they are attorneys or government representatives; falsely imply that you have committed a crime; falsely represent that they work for a credit bureau; mislead you about the legality of papers they send to you.
Debt collectors may not state that you will be arrested if you do not pay your debt or that they will seize your property or wages unless it is legal to seize them and the collection agency does fully intend to do so. They are not allowed to threaten a lawsuit unless a lawsuit is legal in the case. Debt collectors may not give false credit information about you to anyone including a credit bureau, nor shall they use a false name.
Debt collectors shall not engage in unfair practices such as collect any amount greater than your debt, deposit a post-dated check prematurely, and use deception to make you accept collect calls or contact you by postcard.
If you owe more than one debt any payment must be applied to the debt you indicate and never to a debt you believe you do not owe.
If you believe a debt collector has violated the law you have a right to sue within one year from the date the law was violated. You can report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General's office and the Federal Trade Commission. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights. To file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission or to get free information on consumer issues visit www.ftc.gov or call toll-free 1-877-382-4357; TTY: 1-866-653-4261.

What is in this article?:
• Gary Cecil of Daviess County, Kenny Imel of Greenup County, and Ray Allan Mackey of Hardin County are the finalists for this year's Kentucky Farmer of the Year award.
More About:
Ray Allen Mackey
Ray Allen Mackey, a 27-year farming veteran, raises corn, soybeans, tobacco, beef cattle and swine on his 4,535-acre farm in Elizabethtown.
He began farming immediately after graduating from college, first helping his father manage the family farm, then sharecropping some neighboring land, and eventually purchasing his own farm in 1986.
As the size of Mackey's farmland and facilities continued to grow with more acquisitions over the following years, so did his family's involvement on the farm. Mackey's brother, wife, and both of his sons all play integral roles on the farm today.
Mackey has been a member of the Hardin County Farm Bureau board of directors since 1985 and served as its president since 2004. He is also vice-chair of the KFB Swine Advisory Committee and the KFB District Three chairman.
Mackey is additionally very active in the Kentucky Corn Growers Association, serving on its board since 2003 and serving as president for a two-year term.
Judges visited the finalists in late-September to conduct interviews and see the farms first-hand.
The "Farmer of the Year" award will be announced at KFB's 2013 state annual meeting in Louisville on December 6, and the winner will receive $1,000 from the Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation.
All three finalists will be given a KFB jacket, and the runners up will receive $250 from the Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation.
In addition to the statewide recognition and prizes, KFB's "Farmer of the Year" winner will represent Kentucky in the Swisher Sweets/Sunbelt Ag Expo Southeastern "Farmer of the Year" contest, the South's most prestigious agricultural award, in Moultrie, Georgia, October 14-16, 2014.
The state winner will also receive $2,500 from Swisher International, a customized jacket and a $200 gift certificate courtesy of The Williams Dickie Company, and a $500 gift certificate from Southern States Cooperative.
Kentucky's winner will compete against nine other state winners for the chance to win a $15,000 award from Swisher International and several other sponsor-based prizes.

The Philadelphia Institute, a paralegal training school on Arch Street, plans to close next Friday after 25 years because its owners cannot find a buyer, the school's dean said last night.
Ninety-two full-time students are expected to complete their four-month training programs on the institute's last day. More than 70 other part-time students will see their training aborted in midstream, according to the dean, Henry Dantzig Jr.
Students said rumors of a shutdown began circulating through the school on Tuesday, when the accounting office informed part-timers that they could not register for new programs.

You can be passive and stay home, like 179 million other Americans did in 2004, or you can go out and make a difference. Why bother, you ask? Your voice is more important than ever. Upward of 17 million Latinos are eligible to vote. Combine that number with a massive presence in key swing states, and it's clear that our community could pick the candidates for this fall's general election—and even decide the presidency itself. So your mission is clear: Read up on our most pressing issues—and what major-party candidates are saying about them- then go VOTE!
By Kenrya M. Rankin
EDUCATION Quick: Name someone who dropped out of high school. Chances are you didn't have to think long; one Latino student drops out every 37 seconds of each school day. And the ones who are still in then classroom aren't doing much better, as half our children attend the country's poorest schools, battling large class sizes and thin resources. The system that's supposed to save them? No Child Left Behind (NCLB), which many parents—and politicians—feel falls far short of its name. It uses outmoded statistical measures to evaluate schools, then doesn't provide the funds to improve those that fail, choosing instead to use public education budgets to shuttle kids to private schools. And it gets worse: This past November, President Bush vetoed a $151 billion bill that would have beefed up Head Start and reading and math instruction.
Obama: Would expand early childhood education; increase pay for successful teachers who mentor new teachers; reform and fund NCLB.
Clinton: Would pay teachers better, reform NCLB and invest $10 billion in universal preschool.
McCain: No mention of education on his website, but he has supported voucher programs in
the past and voted for private tutors instead of smaller class sizes.
Huckabee: "I am a strong supporter of public school choice. We should provide bonuses and
forgive student loans for high-performing teachers to work in low-performing schools." Let states set own standards under NCLB.
IMMIGRATION This is by no means a new debate—it goes all the way back to the Naturalization Act of 1790! Today, it centers on the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants who have either overstayed their legal visas (4.5 million to 6 million) or entered the United States illegally (6 million to 7 million) to find work. The government is currently building a 700-mile fence along the U.S.–Mexico border, though only 56 percent of the undocumented are actually from Mexico. Some candidates are pushing for immediate deportation, while others advocate for a path to citizenship that includes learning English, passing a criminal background check and paying back taxes for wages earned under the table (a program supported by 51 percent of citizens surveyed by ABC News/Washington Post).
Obama: "We've got 12 million undocumented workers here. ...Their kids are going to
school. Many of the kids were born in this country and are citizens. It's absolutely vital that we give them the opportunity to travel a pathway to citizenship."
Clinton: Strengthen borders, collaborate with Mexico, provide federal assistance to state and local governments on the border, penalize companies that exploit undocumented workers and provide "a path to earned legal status for those who are here, working hard, paying taxes."
Wants to secure borders and create a temporary worker program where "you can get a tamper-proof visa after your job has been proven that it cannot be filled by an American citizen."
Huckabee: Wants illegal immigrants to "pay the penalties, step up and accept responsibility for not being here legally."
HEALTH CARE Don't you dare get sick: Sixty-two percent of Latinos (15 million) are walking around without health insurance. In fact, we're more likely to be uninsured than any other major ethnic group in the United States. Our children bear the worst of it; they are nearly three times as likely to be uninsured as white kids. Rising health-care costs are mostly to blame: Americans spent $2 trillion on health care in 2005 alone—that's $6,700 per person, a cost that is covered in countries that provide government-subsidized, universal health care, including Spain, Chile and Cuba. And the president recently vetoed legislation that would insure 10 million children for free through the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
Obama: Insurance for all children, paid for by rolling back Bush's tax cuts. Provide affordable coverage (similar to that enjoyed by Congress) for those without access to affordableinsurance.
Clinton: Supports choice of plans, portability of coverage from one job to next and affordable coverage by offering tax credits that will limit health-care costs to a set percentage of total income.
McCain: Supports a $2,500 tax credit ($5,000 for families) for insured, expanded health savings
accounts and the freedom to purchase insurance across state lines to maximize choices.
Huckabee: Reform medical liability, adopt electronic record keeping, make insurance portable,
give tax credits for low income families and expand health savings accounts to everyone.
WAR September 3, 2006—the day the number of American deaths in Iraq surpassed the number killed in the attacks on 9/11. Now, it's nearly five years after the March 20, 2003, invasion of Iraq, and Latinos are increasingly decrying the war as unnecessary: 76 percent think it was wrong to fight in the first place, and 66 percent want troops to come home now, according to a survey conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center last year. But that hasn't stopped the Armed Forces from spending millions on Hispanic recruitment efforts, as they seek to more than double the enlisted Latinos to 22 percent of total enlistment by 2025 to nearly match the projected 25 percent Latino slice of the population. The Pentagon is even offering fast-tracked citizenship to illegal immigrants to make it happen.
Obama: In 2002, said: "I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What
I am opposed to is a rash war." Favors immediate withdrawal, to finish by end of year.
Clinton: "We need to quit refereeing their civil war and bring our troops home as soon as possible." Voted yes to authorize possible military force in 2002; would now start bringing troops home
in her first 60 days.
McCain: "I remain fully supportive of [the president's] determination not to leave Iraq until the
freely elected government of that country and its armed forces are able to defend their country from foreign and domestic enemies."
Huckabee: Admits certain policies may have been shortsighted, but says this war is one we
can't afford to lose.
ECONOMY Talk about getting the short end of the stick: In 2006, the median Hispanic household income was $14,600 less than non-Hispanic white families, and more than 20 percent of all Latinos were living in poverty—a percentage that shoots up to 27 percent for Latino kids. Zooming out to see all Americans, the number of the poor (36.5 million) has increased by 5.4 million since Bush was elected. At press time, the unemployment rate was 4.7 percent for the general population but 5.6 percent for Latinos. Adding insult to injury, Hispanics are twice as likely as whites to get high-rate mortgages, which often lead to foreclosures when monthly payments are higher than people can afford or rates spiral out of
control after the first year.
Obama: Invest $5 billion in transitional jobs and programs, eliminate transportation disparities in poor neighborhoods, raise minimum wage, expand the Earned Income Credit for full-time workers making the minimum wage, create up to 14,000 new units of affordable housing a year.
Clinton: Reduce cost of energy and achieve energy dependence, provide college aid, protect families from predatory lenders and help avoid foreclosure, create jobs, increase minimum wage, balance federal budget and provide retirement security.
McCain: Would cut taxes, welcome international business competition and train displaced
Huckabee: "I am running to completely eliminate all federal income and payroll taxes. The Fair Tax will replace the Internal Revenue Code with a consumption tax. We'll be taxed on what we decide
to buy, not what we happen to earn."

Same-sex marriage is again rising on Australia's political radar as resurrected Prime Minister Kevin Rudd repositions the Government for the election he has yet to call.
Rudd sees the divisive issue as a lure for the youth vote, with opinion polls showing wide public support for gay and lesbian weddings in the wake of New Zealand's decision to legalise same-sex marriage.
New Deputy Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told ABC Triple J radio that Labor would "make gay marriage happen" if it was returned to power.
Albanese later told News Ltd that Labor had always led the way on social reforms, although he said the issue would still be subject to a conscience vote by Government MPs. The conscience vote was a condition of support for same-sex marriage in Labor's platform, engineered by former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who remained staunchly opposed to the move.
And the political fragility of same-sex marriage in Parliament was underwritten by the failure of a Greens bill proposing its legalisation to come to a vote in the Lower House.
In the Senate the bill was rejected by 48 votes to 28, despite support from a Liberal Senator who crossed the floor to vote in favour of the move. Labor MPs are also divided on the issue, and strong opposition continues in the wider Labor movement.
Yesterday Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association national secretary Joe de Bruyn, a Gillard ally and fellow opponent of same-sex marriage, told the Australian the public was not ready for the move.
But Rudd's advocacy has been hardening, backed what he sees as strong support among the nation's young voters.
"Wherever I go in Australia, young people think that our current arrangements are just wrong," he said.
Rudd urged Opposition leader Tony Abbott to allow a conscience vote for Coalition MPs, saying that if Abbott refused he would consider holding a plebiscite or referendum.
"Whoever wins the next election, let's just have the civility to open this to a conscience vote for all," he said. "I would just prefer to have this thing resolved."
Rudd also described himself as the first Prime Minister to become a "fully signed-up supporter of marriage equality".
Abbott, who continues to lead in the polls despite a surge by Labor after Rudd's return to power last week, has reaffirmed his opposition to same-sex marriage and his refusal to allow a conscience vote.
Rudd's suggestion of a plebiscite or referendum is also opposed by gay activists, who believe it would more deeply divide the nation. They would prefer the establishment of a cross-party group to push the move and strengthen support for a conscience vote.

IT WAS a milestone that brought attention the Phillies could have done without. Everybody had a chuckle when they lost their 10,000th game, even if it was understood the futility had very little to do with the current roster.
Maybe they just had to get it out of the way.
When asked about it, Phillies assistant general manager Ruben Amaro did his best imitation of a 30-year-old bachelor. He deflected everything and engaged nothing. What else could he say?
"We didn't focus on 10,000 losses at all," Amaro said. "We let other people focus on that kind of stuff."

I created a card today for the City Crafter Challenge which is to use two ribbons and nine words or more. Perfect for Leap Day! Happy Leap Day to everyone! Enjoy your extra day. :) I also used the sketch from Mojo Monday #230 as my design.
This card is inspired by the ever so talented Jacqueline and includes a beautiful wine label butterfly. Thank you Jacqueline for sharing wine labels with me.
The papers come from a prize I won from Snazzy's in playing in their first challenge. They are gorgeous papers and I also received some wonderful stamps. (Yet to be inked up and can't wait to use them!). The reason I was playing there was because of another friend Lesley (very talented) who is on their design team.
The card:
Verses Rubber Stamps - A Friend Strengthens - FS1134-A is very appropriate.
I used my much loved Hero Arts Hydrangeas and Butterflies to stamp over the paper. The diamonds in the background is a new stencil from The Crafters Workshop that I bought to play with. I love the distressed effect and will be playing with it some more.
Thanks for stopping by!

Less than 24 hours after cutting 21 players to get down to the required 53-man roster, the Detroit Lions can establish its eight-man practice squad.
Starting at noon on Sunday, after any waiver claims have been processed for players released Saturday, NFL teams can begin signing players to practice squads.
Practice squad players are not part of the active roster, but do count against a team's salary cap. They are paid a minimum of $6,000 per week.
Only players who meet specific qualifications are eligible.
- The player must not have an accrued season of NFL experience
- The player was active for fewer than nine regular season games during their only accrued season(s).
- The player has not been on a practice squad more than two prior seasons.
In recent weeks, the Lions have released 23 players eligible to be signed to the team's practice squad. It's likely several of those players will return to Detroit if they clear waivers, but the team also typically adds a few from outside the organization.
In 2012, Detroit signed four players who were with the team during training camp and added four other free agents who were with other clubs.
Popular candidates from the players released by the Lions on Saturday include cornerback Chris Greenwood, linebacker Brandon Hepburn, offensive lineman Rodney Austin and running back Steven Miller.
Also, keep in mind, the faces on the practice squad change frequently. The Lions had 17 different players on the unit last season.
Additionally, wide receiver Kris Durham, fullback Shaun Chapas, safety Ricardo Silva and defensive tackle Jimmy Saddler-McQueen were all promoted off the practice squad to the main roster.
Below is a full list of practice squad eligible players recently released by the Lions:
G Rodney Austin
CB Conroy Black
DE Braylon Broughton
FB Shaun Chapas
P Blank Clingan
S Trevor Coston
LB Alex Elkins
WR Corey Fuller
