I've rarely been more aware than during Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" that Abraham Lincoln was a plain-spoken, practical, down-to-earth man from the farmlands of Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois. He had less than a year of formal education and taught himself through his hungry reading of great books. I still recall from a childhood book the image of him taking a piece of charcoal and working out mathematics by writing on the back of a shovel.
Lincoln lacked social polish but he had great intelligence and knowledge of human nature. The hallmark of the man, performed so powerfully by Daniel Day-Lewis in "Lincoln," is calm self-confidence, patience and a willingness to play politics in a realistic way. The film focuses on the final months of Lincoln's life, including the passage of the 13th Amendment ending slavery, the surrender of the Confederacy and his assassination. Rarely has a film attended more carefully to the details of politics.
Lincoln believed slavery was immoral, but he also considered the 13th Amendment a masterstroke in cutting away the financial foundations of the Confederacy. In the film, the passage of the amendment is guided by William Seward (David Strathairn), his secretary of state, and by Rep. Thaddeus Stevens (Tommy Lee Jones), the most powerful abolitionist in the House. Neither these nor any other performances in the film depend on self-conscious histrionics; Jones in particular portrays a crafty codger with some secret hiding places in his heart.
The capital city of Washington is portrayed here as roughshod gathering of politicians on the make. The images by Janusz Kaminski, Spielberg's frequent cinematographer, use earth tones and muted indoor lighting. The White House is less a temple of state than a gathering place for wheelers and dealers. This ambience reflects the descriptions in Gore Vidal's historical novel "Lincoln," although the political and personal details in Tony Kushner's concise, revealing dialogue is based on "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln" by Doris Kearns Goodwin. The book is well-titled. This is a film not about an icon of history, but about a president who was scorned by some of his political opponents as just a hayseed from the backwoods.
Lincoln is not above political vote buying. He offers jobs, promotions, titles and pork barrel spending. He isn't even slightly reluctant to employ the low-handed tactics of his chief negotiators (Tim Blake Nelson, James Spader, John Hawkes). That's how the game is played, and indeed we may be reminded of the arm-bending used to pass the civil rights legislation by Lyndon B. Johnson, the subject of another biography by Goodwin.
Daniel Day-Lewis, who has a lock on an Oscar nomination, modulates Lincoln. He is soft-spoken, a little hunched, exhausted after the years of war, concerned that no more troops die. He communicates through stories and parables. At his side is his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln (Sally Field, typically sturdy and spunky), who is sometimes seen as a social climber but here is focused as wife and mother. She has already lost one son in the war and fears to lose the other. This boy, Robert Todd Lincoln (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), refuses the privileges of family.
There are some battlefields in "Lincoln" but the only battle scene is at the opening, when the words of the Gettysburg Address are spoken with the greatest possible impact, and not by Lincoln. Kushner also smoothly weaves the wording of the 13th Amendment into the film without making it sound like an obligatory history lesson.
The film ends soon after Lincoln's assassination. I suppose audiences will expect that to be included. There is an earlier shot, when it could have ended, of President Lincoln walking away from the camera after his amendment has been passed. The rest belongs to history.

Comments about Kelty Duo Pack 12 Chili:
I was very disappointed that the "cooler" portion of this product leaks. I thought it was my perfect fix for my outdoor activities, however, I am left needing to purchase something different to keep after-hike beverages chilled without returning to my car to find a puddle in my car. This proved to be an expensive test...I had really wanted it to work.

Into that voted for George W.
Bush won 44%.
Of the Latino vote.
This year Mitt Romney got a measly 28%.
If he had gotten even 35%.
He would've won the popular vote Mitt Romney and may be the presidential election.
So for the first time it can be said conclusively.
But probably -- the last time the Latino vote was decisive in this election.
Bearing that in mind here is Craig with the senior Latino senator Bob Menendez Democrat of new jurors.
I think what was incredible -- -- to see.
A significant increase in Latino turnout.
Senator Menendez when you learn that the Hispanic vote was the deciding factor in this presidential election -- -- -- react.
Was saw it coming of age you know this community has grown so dramatically in our country serves in the armed forces of the united states of many many wars.
Contributed economically but finally here was the constantly referred to sleeping giant awakening.
He awakened giant was enormous 71% of the vote making the difference in states like Florida Virginia New Mexico and Colorado.
And all exit polling saying the difference was immigration policy and the ugly rhetoric attached to it which affected citizens and non citizen alike.
The Republican Party didn't understand.
That even for all of us who are United States citizens of the community.
Knows someone who is a relative and neighbor a friend.
Who is on document.
And they've shared it's sense of that -- they looked at it as I often call them to do as a civil rights issue of their time.
The because at the end of the day when you have US citizens.
And legal permanent residents being unlawfully detained in immigration raids you feel like you're a second class.
So the DREAM Act has been floating around for years Republicans introduced the achieve act.
Yet that Hispanic caucus rejected that.
Why the problem with the achieve acted doesn't achieve the dream.
The dream is.
To take -- young people who came here through no choice of their own their parents bought them.
Who only flag they recognize -- pledge allegiance to -- the United States.
Whose only National Anthem they -- a star spangled -- only country they know is their countries the United States.
It's supposed to be a pathway.
Towards -- Permanent residency in this country -- thought this issue for so long do you think that can be a bipartisan solution.
You know for the first time in many years I am cautiously optimistic.
There is a working group of eight senators for Republicans four Democrats.
A similar working group is being put together in the house -- -- -- Republicans and Democrats.
The president believe will use political capital to make this happen.
The Republicans as a party must clearly read.
With the TVs and the results of the election and understand that we need to think about this in a different way.
Both Ronald Reagan and George W.
Bush -- Latinos as natural Republicans socially conservative family and church oriented.
But since the coming up the Tea Party Latinos have been turned off to the GOP.
Why it's harsh and sometimes extreme rhetoric on border control and immigration.
Now as -- all the -- in his 2008.
His panic.
If Latinos continue turning out and voting democratic at the same rate there may never be another Republican president.
Got a copy of it from -- though and it was set -- but it it was where.
We're already beginning to see the reality it's in the national interest of the United States to the national security interest of the United States.
It's in the national economic interest of the United States.
To achieve comprehensive immigration reform.
Greg joins us live and Craig especially where you are not all -- Latinos are Democrat.
That's right -- ought not all Latinos -- Democrats were here in.
The -- cigar lounge and iron down district of New York which is about.
13 Latino in not Peter -- is a third generation Cuban.
A traditional Republican who thinks the DREAM Act kids should go to the back -- line went back.
Well everybody then that's done that's legally they waited their time.
They that the process paid their fines and they are patiently waiting for the turn trans now what type of message are you sending.
To the people that did it legally.
You know why don't you do the right way get to the back of the line.
Back on line OK so there are the Republicans here but they disagree with Peter's opinion.
How you're an immigration attorney what what is your that your.
I mean Peter -- this a lot but basically the same way that an asylum was open.
Fully -- to be able to be processing comfortable something a new system has to come into effect and that's what the American DREAM Act is done it's a process where.
These students and immigrants become.
Legal in this country can do what they need to do more for this and we didn't -- we came to this country and their other people you voted.
He voted for Obama.
Yes I am for this and I believe that -- -- -- allowed these dreamers to make such a positive contribution to the economy it does content.
-- so gasoline opinions very is much is the difference cigars -- that make here in Jimenez tobacco back here or in decades ago.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
Best Uses
This is the fourth potty seat I bought and the best purchased I've made! The first two didn't work well for my son, no pee guard (munchkin soft seat and a cars potty seat). The third (babybjorn) is just as good but pricey! I was on my way to buy another one for the upstairs bathroom and I'm so glad I found his one! Good pee guard, fits great(no need to adjust), love the handles! (my lil one doesn't have to hold on to the toilet anymore), AND half the price! I got a potty hook and it hangs great!

Perfect for BOYS!
By BranRan's mommy
from LI, NY
About Me First Time Parent
This is the best potty seat!! No PEE PEE on the floor YAY!! this is the third one we have tried and its perfect for boys. Its hard cause boys pee gets everywhere but not with this seat. Im so happy to not have to clean then mop the floor after everytime my son goes on the potty. The first potty we got was The First Years Toy Story Celebration Sounds Potty System it is horrible! Pee gets everywhere and it is hard to clean.then we got the Disney Pixar Toy Story 3 Soft Potty Seat, it was just as bad.If you have a son this is the potty you need to get. Prior to this seat I was using almost a roll of papertowels a day constantly cleaning up my floor, then I tried to teach my son to point his "thingy" down but it just confused him, so then I took wee wee pads from my mothers puppy and put them infront of the toliet on the floor that didnt work either.lol. Buy this potty it has been a time saving lifesaver for me. Oh and BTW that deoterizing disk which had no significance to me actually smells awsome it smells up the whole bathroom.love it.You don't understand I want to tell every mom with a son to buy this potty thats how redic excited I am about this seat.

Question: I am 52 and work fulltime with an income of $85,000 and my partner is 57 and works part time with an income of $15,000. We have 2 children living at home who are at university and financially dependent on us. We are currently renting and own a rental property interstate valued at $1.7 million which produces a net rental return of $30,000. We have $300,000 in super and savings of $350,000. How should we structure our assets to prepare for our our retirement?
Answer: I assume the property has a debt so you would need to be thinking about some strategy to eventually pay it off. One of the best ways to do it is to salary sacrifice to the maximum but I appreciate that your finances may be a little stretched if your children are still financially dependant on you. Just salary sacrifice as much as you can now and increase the contributions when the children become less of a financial burden. You should take advice about putting a large chunk of your savings into the partner's super as they are older and will be able to access the money earlier than you. In view of the partner's low income they should be making themselves eligible for a government super co-contribution too.

Welcome to DASP!
The DASP PDB and GenBankNR database was last updated October 2011.
Older DASP versions still available:
November 2010
January 2009
January 2008
Enter your query information following the
directions below
. See the
User's Manual
for more details.
PDB and GenBankNR databases last updated in October 2011.
Enter User Information
E-Mail Address:
Enter a valid email address that the results can be sent to. Make sure it is correct or you will not receive your results.
Job ID:
Enter a name for your query so that you may easily identify the emailed results. Do not include spaces in the job name.
Creating an Active Site Profile
Protein PDB name and key residue information:
You may enter in as many PDBs as you like, but each must have at least one key residue identified.
This field requires a specific format.
To specify a PDB entry, enter 'PDB' then the 4 character pdb id followed by the chain. If only one chain is present then enter 'A' for the chain. Using 1AAZ as an example this looks like: PDB1AAZA
Next enter the key residue information. The PDB entry is followed by a colon ':', then ONE space, then each of the key residue numbers. Key residue numbers are separated by a comma and NO SPACES.
For example PDB1AAZA: 1,2,3
If you have a list of PDB entries and key residues already in the right format, you may copy and paste them into this field. Also, PDB entries may be specified using upper or lower case, and you must enter one or more key residues for each PDB entry.
Profile Radius:
The profile radius specifies the size of the inclusion sphere around the center of mass for each key residue. Any residue inside the inclusion sphere of at least one key residue will be included in the ASP. The default is 10 angstroms, but you may increase or decrease this number as you see fit.
To create the ASP from the information entered in the previous steps, press the 'Create ASP' button. Progress will be displayed in the status window at the bottom of the form. If there are any errors, or one of the PDB entries you specified could not be found a message will appear in the status window. In order to create an ASP all PDB entries must be valid, so if one cannot be found it must be removed before an ASP can be generated. The status window will display the name of the key residues for each pdb entered; this is the time to ensure that you have entered in the correct number for your residues.
Once the ASP is successfully created it will appear in the Creation Window and results will be emailed to you. In the Creation Window you may copy and edit the ASP as necessary. These edits will be implemented in the sequence database searching, should you wish to go on to conduct these searches.
Performing a Database Search
Once an ASP has been created you can search either the PDB or GenBankNR databases for significant matches. Note that this applet is being executed on your computer so your browser must stay open and active while the search is in progress or it will be terminated. Both of these searches take a long time to complete (up to 24 hours) dependent on what hardware you are using, so be sure you are able to leave your computer on for the duration.
P-value significance cutoff:
Enter a number to use as the p-value cutoff. A higher number equals a higher significance level (lower p-value). Only results at this significance level or greater will be returned. Generally a number between 5 and 10 works well.
Search database:
Specify the database you would like to search. Entering 'PDB' will only search sequences with a corresponding PDB entry whereas entering 'GenBankNR' will search all known protein sequences available from GenBank (non-redundant division).
Note: GenBank searches take substantially longer than PDB searches.
Finally, press the 'Search DB' button. The progress will be printed out in the status window, and when the search is done the results will be emailed to you.
Note: You must keep your browser and this java applet open and active until the search is completed or the search will be terminated (i.e. do not put your computer in sleep or hibernation mode, it must remain on with an active internet connection).

Physician Fee Proposal Generates Calls for Changes
Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN) also commented in support of direct reimbursements to licensed advanced practice nurse (APN), including CRNA for pain management procedures. "There is no evidence that trained and qualified APNs compromise patient safety or lead to over utilization of procedures. Research has shown that these providers increase access and decrease the cost of healthcare."
Physician value-based payment modifier (VBPM)
The ACA requires CMS to establish a value-based modifier that provides for differential payments based on the quality of care furnished compared to the cost of the care. The VBPM is required to be revenue neutral so increased payments to some physicians result in decreases for others
The AAFP is concerned that budget neutrality considerations limit CMS's ability to "specify the exact amount of the upward payment adjustment." The AAFP said it "will be challenging" for groups to subject themselves to "a new and untested program without prior knowledge of a potential award."
MGMA is concerned that several technical issues related to the VBPM have not been addressed. MGMA questions if the modifier can even be implemented for the first measurement year in 2013 and urges CMS "to withdraw this proposal until methodological and technical issues" are resolved. Among its concerns is that more time is needed to "test valid measures of cost, outcomes and quality as well as mechanisms to accurately adjust for risk before moving forward with a program that modifies physicians' payments based on CMS' definition of value."
CMS is expected to release the final physician fee schedule rule in November.

I remember I tweeted, "Just saying g'bye to Georgina Haig. Lovely woman!" I just had afternoon tea with Georgina (whose character died in a recent episode). That was taken as, she's gone forever. At that stage, she was still on the show, so I thought "What have I done?" I knew she was gone! You've gotta be careful! (Laughs)
CNN: Walter is famous for his love of junk food. Do you have a favorite junk food on or off set?
Noble: To survive, I try not to eat junk food. I hate to destroy the myth!
On a film set, if you eat junk food, you'd finish around 400 pounds at the end of the first season. That's just the nature of the work.
To destroy another myth, we don't actually eat it, because we can't. In 40 takes, you'd be absolutely bloated with Red Vines or whatever else you're having. We go through the motions of it and then have to get rid of it to so we can do another take.
There was a bacon sandwich I thought was rather nice ...
CNN: And what can fans expect as it comes to a close?
Noble: I haven't read the final episode yet, but I know that (executive producer) Joel Wyman has put everything, and I mean everything, he's got into this. He's directing the last episode. I think it will be a masterpiece. I haven't read it, but I can't imagine anything less with the amount of heart he's put into it. Fingers crossed, but that's my prediction. I think it will be a masterpiece.

Bake-off adventure ends as gran's meringue fails the test (From Bicester Advertiser)

Bake-off adventure ends as gran's meringue fails the test
10:40am Thursday 10th October 2013 in News By Freddie Whittaker, covering Politics and Kidlington. Call me on 01865 425498
Buy this photo » Christine Wallace, back home in her Didcot kitchen. Picture: OX62606 Antony Moore
GREAT British Bake-off star Christine Wallace has spoken of her disappointment after she was sent home from the prime-time baking show.
The Didcot grandmother said she had an amazing time and made "friends for life" among her fellow contestants.
And she said her fellow contestants had already agreed to a reunion at her home after the last episode screens on October 22.
Mrs Wallace, 67, made it through to the quarter-final of the show, which aired on Tuesday night, but was sent home by the judges after disappointing the judges in a meringue challenge.
The show was filmed earlier this year, and the former fashion company worker had to stay tight-lipped about how far she had got.
Now she has broken her silence – and she said she had enjoyed watching the show with her husband Rob.
Mrs Wallace said: "Obviously we don't see the programmes before they go out and they're all edited, so there are things I remembered which I had forgotten at the time and some of the things which I remember had been edited out.
"It's been an amazing experience – the best experience of my life by a mile. It's been fun, stressful, I've made friends for life and I would do it all again tomorrow.
"The atmosphere on-set is exactly as you see it.
"We help each other out, lend each other things and give each other advice. Ultimately it is a competition and you are trying to get as far as you can, but all the contestants got on well and gelled right from the start."
She added that she had been disappointed to have to leave the show, but was pleased to have got so far.
She said: "I was very disappointed but it was very close.
"I would have liked to have got through to the final, but this is a huge BBC programme on national television and I feel happy and proud that I was on it in the first place and made it so far."
Now she is looking forward to the reunion with her former contestants. She said: "We're having a reunion at the end of the month, the Saturday after the final. Everybody wanted to come to Oxfordshire, so they're all coming to mine and we're going out for a meal. It's going to be great."
Throughout the airing of the show, Mrs Wallace has had the unwavering support of her niece Hannah Wilson, who first encouraged her to enter the competition. Mrs Wallace said: "She hasn't been watching it with me because they live down near Gatwick, but she rang me after every programme and gave me feedback. She's doing a lot of baking herself now."
Mrs Wallace said baking would continue to be a passion, and she looked forward to watching the rest of the show – although she knows who wins.

sub contractor
By gardawgs
from crystal lake, il
an insurance adjustor would cringe if i said i stacked 'em 3 high - the climb up and roll function require a dead flat and clear floor; I kept the low tray close to floor level & covered it with jobsite tool boxes as ballast, one as a platform (with site wired guard rails) and used the middle level as a stage for workpieces and corded tools. rolling it was kinda like surfing - either you absolutely can or just plain cant.its my opinion the product mirrors the manufacturers intended duty rating - by no means drop a full 5gal. mud pail on the tray, nothing over the side; egress and stock from the ends only. simple. wonderful product; KD's & easily transportable

A Dozen Jobs with This!
By DrA
from Ohio
We have owned ours for five years and have built additions, painted ceilings, wired my barn, etc. It is very convenient to have one at our home and even contracted laborers have appreciated it. I would be afraid to stack these things because it does get shaky when it's up on its highest. The platform is also a little thin and flexes when I'm up there (200#)... I think if i bounced up and down on one foot and tried I could crack the ~5/16" plywood! My daughter and wife think it's great (I also bought a smaller scaffold unit that allows them to 'walk up' versus climbing the side rails... they didn't like the side climbing) I have saved more than the ~$160 I paid for this. I am happy with it.
By BIGDOG
from DALLAS, TX
Good scaffold for the price, Used it to hang trusse on a 12' building and it did the job. The gentleman that gave it a terrible review because of shipping was not fair. The overweight item shipping charge of $89 was clearly stated in the product description. Nobody would ship an item this heavy for $6.99 that is ridiculous.You get what you pay for, this is not a tool for the pro it is perfect for the homeowner and occasional use.,

Decent scaffold, but caution when buying
By Degore54
from Kannapolis, NC
Beware if you're buying a pair of these to stack - be sure they're both the same construction. Though both sets sported the same item number, there were a handful of slight differences between the two sets I bought, and several holes were slightly out of alignment on one set. The sets appeared to be compatible, but the width of the end supports differed by about 3/16" from one set to the other. Consequently, they wouldn't stack. Unfortunately, I bought the last two at the store (besides the floor display). I suggested swapping the floor display with one I'd purchased so I'd have a matching set, but I was told "regional won't let us sell floor models". That's understandable for many situations, but the store lost that sale (I returned both sets) as a result. I bought two other (matching) sets at another HF store, both of which were of the same construction as the better set of the first ones I bought.

According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of Royersford, Pa., was 4,752 in 2010. This borough is located about 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia, and offers a pleasant lifestyle and a fun yet family-friendly way of life. The easy lifestyle offered in the area will undoubtedly attract those searching for Royersford apartments for rent: The population of the borough increased by almost 12 percent between 2000 and 2010.
Incorporated in 1879, Royersford offers a quaint downtown, winding neighborhoods and a peaceful way of life. After it was first settled, Royersford grew into a regional farming community. However, because of rail presence and an increasing population, Royersford grew ripe for industry. Eventually the borough became a small iron and manufacturing center for regional industries. After World War II, Royersford transformed from a sleepy industrial town to a suburban area. Royersford continues to thrive in the same way to this day.
Because of its small-town vibe, Royersford doesn't offer as many amenities as some larger cities. However it is located right off the Pottstown Expressway and Benjamin Franklin Highway, Route 422, which leads motorists to the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The area's transportation accessibility gives residents the opportunity to shop in larger towns, though they don't need to travel outside of Royersford to have fun: Numerous shops and restaurants are located in the borough's central downtown area.
When residents want to socialize and take their children to play, they head to the borough's two main parks: Victory Park and Chestnut Street Park. These two well-maintained parks provide options for picnicking, playing and event hosting. Victory Park's pavilion is available for reservation. Royersford residents enjoy the parks for their clean and well-maintained facilities, sense of community and recreational opportunities.
Royersford is not home to any major college or university. However, numerous institutes of higher learning are located within commutable distance of Royersford. Universal Technical Institute of Pennsylvania, Eastern University, Montgomery County Community College, Villanova University, West Chester University of Pennsylvania, Delaware County Community College and St. Joseph's University are all located within about 20 miles of Royersford.
Royersford serves primarily as a bedroom community, so many residents commute to Philadelphia or other nearby cities for work. According to City-Data, the mean commute time for Royersford residents is 25.9 minutes. Within Montgomery County, some of the top employers include Mainline Health Systems, Abington Health, Lockheed Martin, Holy Redeemer Health Systems, ACTS Retirement-Life Communities, Aetna Inc., Prudential and SunGard. However, this list does not include employers in Philadelphia, as the city is located in Philadelphia County.
According to City-Data, the cost of living index in Royersford is 104.5, which is 4.5 percent higher than the U.S. average. This is on par with the cost of living in the Philadelphia metro area. Those searching for Royersford apartments will be happy to note that 49.9 percent of the borough's homes are renter-occupied units. The median gross rent in Royersford is just $840 per month.
Because of its small-town nature, Royersford's main attraction is its historic downtown area, which is closely linked to the borough of Spring City. The two cities reside on opposite sides of the Schuylkill River and share many close ties, businesses and special events. When residents feel like a taste of big-city life, they are just a short trip from exciting and historic Philadelphia.

Devoida Mercy? Ginger Vitis? Rollanya Asse? Must be derby.
This upcoming weekend, the Philly Roller Girls will host the 2012 East Coast Derby Extravaganza (ECDX), where 1000 skaters will compete on three rinks for three days. It is the event's sixth anniversary, founded in 2007 and has grown to include 120+ leagues from eastern and northern United States.
Know what was also founded in 2007? The WPRB Fall Membership Drive! Know what that means? WPRB and ECDX were born together and practically made for each other. THUS, it was clearly necessary for us to reach out to the derby girls a few weeks ago and see how we could get involved.
SO, this Saturday, WPRB will join forces with the Philly Roller Girls and play some music at ECDX. What to expect? No idea, but we are on the quest for angry girl rock. (We hope we aren't being too stereotypical.) If you have any suggestions for derby music, feel free to comment below.
To all Philadelphians interested in seeing angry females on skates can purchase tickets here. They come in daily, weekend, and bout rates. Also, here is an important link to generate your own derby name.

The grants will support literacy and education initiatives at the Cleveland Bradley County Public Library and Bradley County Adult Education Center.
In recognition of the Dollar General Literacy Champions in Cleveland and the generous support of local customers, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation awarded the grants to help improve literacy in the local community.
Customers can support the mission work of the Dollar General Literacy Foundation by donating their spare change in donation containers located near the cash registers. Funds collected are distributed through a formal grant process to nonprofit literacy providers across the country.
"Thank you to our customers for their generous support of the Dollar General Literacy Foundation," said Donna Harris, Dollar General store manager. "Your donations fund programs that are changing lives one word at a time."
Harris and her store team presented the grants during a ceremony at the Dollar General store.
"This grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation will supplement the GED testing fee for many of our students," said Charlotte Samples, Bradley County Adult Education testing coordinator.
"This allows more Bradley County residents to achieve their GED diploma and be contributing members to our community."
"We are thankful and grateful to Dollar General for their support of literacy and our library," said Keisha Parks, Cleveland Public Library children's librarian. "We have great things in store for our young patrons including an author visit, poetry workshops, and other youth literacy programs."
Dollar General's commitment to literacy is an integral part of the company's culture. Co-founder J.L. Turner was functionally illiterate with only a third grade education. Through hard work and perseverance, J.L. was able to overcome tremendous odds and launch a successful business.
In honor of his legacy, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation was established in 1993. The Foundation provides funding to nonprofit organizations, schools and libraries that are dedicated to the advancement of literacy for adults, families and youth.
If someone you know needs a referral to a program in your local community that can help them learn to read, prepare for the GED or learn the English language, please complete one of our Learn to Read brochures located near the cash registers in your local Dollar General stores or call 1-877-389-6874.
To learn more about the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, please visit www.DGLiteracy.org.

- Purchase more crops from farms. Plovgh farms and their products are moving beyond the farmers market or CSA to become part of your everyday life, rather than just a Sunday morning activity.

In Central, Northern and Western Arizona
Every year, new headlines highlight how some third-party and in-house debt collectors violate federal law by using unfair and abusive debt collection practices. To help consumers avoid frustration and confusion when a debt collector calls, Better Business Bureau (BBB) provides a summary of consumers' rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and offers information on how to report abuse.
Last year, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) received 180,928 complaints relating to debt collection, up from 144,159 in 2010. More than once, the FTC has reached million-dollar settlements with collection service companies over accusations relating to federal law violations. Locally, BBB Serving Central, Northern and Western Arizona processed 325 complaints against collection agencies in 2011.
"Inaccurately reporting credit information and pressing consumers to pay debts they often do not owe are common complaints reported to BBB," said Dory Gosar, BBB Trade Practices and Investigations Manager. "For this reason, it is important for consumers to have a general understanding of their rights in case a debt collector calls."
To help consumers understand their rights under the FDCPA, BBB provides the following summary:
● Right to Notice of Debt: By law, a debt collection agency must provide you with a validation notice within five days of first contacting you about the debt. The validation notice should include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor, and information on what you can do if you think there has been a mistake or you don't actually owe the money. In some cases, information included in a validation notice can be provided over the phone during initial contact. If you wish to review the information in writing, you must request a written validation notice.
● Right to Dispute the Debt: You have 30 days after receiving the written notice of debt to dispute its contents. If you believe the debt is not yours, send a written dispute to the collection agency. Collection agencies must stop all debt collection activities until they can verify the debt.
● Right to Verify Debt: At a minimum, verification should include the amount, date, name and contact information of the original creditor. If you are disputing debt based on identity theft, verification should include a copy of the original signed contract or note. If you are disputing the amount of the debt, verification should include payments made, as well as interest and fees charged and/or waived.
Once consumers have gone through the initial steps outlined above to verify the debt, it is important to confirm the debt collector is legitimate. Consumers can research a company with BBB at www.bbb.org.
Consumers who do not owe the debt can ask the collection company to stop contact by sending a letter (via certified mail) to the debt collector. Keeping a copy of the letter and the return receipt for verification purposes is also recommended. Any further contact from the debt collector, except to advise there will be no further contact or to inform that the agency is filing legal action, is a violation of the FDCPA.
If a debt collector violates the law, consumers can report them to the FTC at www.ftc.gov, and also file a complaint with BBB at www.bbb.org. For more information on taking control of your debt and managing credit effectively, check out BBB's Managing Credit – Made Simpler.
About BBB Serving Central, Northern & Western ArizonaBBB is an unbiased organization that sets and upholds high standards for fair and honest business behavior. Businesses that earn BBB accreditation contractually agree and adhere to the organization's high standards of ethical business behavior. Incorporated locally in 1938, today your BBB serves communities in Central, Northern and Western Arizona, supported by over 9,600 BBB Accredited Businesses.

Download Site Founder Receives 4.5 Year Jail Sentence, Forfeits $4.7m
The founder of one of Europe's former leading illicit movie streaming portals has been convicted. The man, known as Dirk B, received a reduced sentence after giving a full confession and apology for this activities on Kino.to, the site hit by a massive international police operation in 2011. Despite his overtures, Dirk B received a 4.5 year jail sentence and was ordered to forfeit $4.7m of the claimed $8m he earned from the site.
In June 2011, the biggest ever operation aimed at tackling online movie piracy took place in Europe. The target for police in Germany, Spain, France, and the Netherlands was movie-streaming portal Kino.to and its affiliates.
More than a dozen people were arrested and since then various individuals have been brought to justice. The latest to face punishment is the site's founder.
Known only as Dirk B due to German privacy laws which protect the identities of suspected criminals, the 39-year-old faced an extended stay in prison after prosecutors requested an 11 year sentence.
However, after cooperating with authorities and confessing to a sample 1.1 million instances of copyright infringement and being responsible for a file-hosting service linked to Kino.to, the court decided to hand down a much reduced sentence.
According to Deutsche Welle, District Court judge Karsten Nickel described the case as the "most serious" copyright breach ever to come before the courts in Germany. He went on to hand Dirk B a 4.5 year jail sentence.
The prosecution said that the operators of Kino.to generated huge profits through advertising and so-called "subscription trap" schemes. As part of his plea bargain, Dirk B agreed to hand over around $4.7m of the claimed $8m he made in revenue through his Spanish advertising company.
Dirk B is the 6th person to be sentenced in the Kino.to case.
In December 2011, 33-year-old web designer Marcus V. was handed 2.5 years in prison for his role in the site. A week later 27-year-old Martin S. – reportedly the main admin of Kino.to and brother-in-law of Dirk B. – received a 3 year sentence.
Later in December an unemployed IT assistant received 1 year 9 months probation after he confessed to uploading pirate movies and TV shows to Kino.to servers between June 2009 to July 2011.
A week later a 47-year-old server operator was sentenced to 3 years and 5 months in prison after being found guilty of storing more than 10,700 movies for paid subscription access.
In April this year, Kino.to's 29-year-old lead programmer was sentenced to three years and ten months in prison.
