Adams County Man Indicted Federally For Receipt And Possession Of Child Pornography HARRISBURG - The United States Attorney ’ s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced today that an Adams County man was indicted by a federal grand jury in Harrisburg on January 20 , 2016 for receipt and possession of child pornography . According to United States Attorney Peter Smith , the grand jury alleges that Earl Greg Walker , age 53 , received and possessed child pornography at his home in Adams County in 2011-2012 . The indictment was unsealed today following Walker ’ s arrest on January 29 , 2016 . Walker is due to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Susan E. Schwab today for his initial appearance . This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the Pennsylvania State Police and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daryl F. Bloom . This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood , a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse . Led by the United States Attorneys ' Offices and the Criminal Division 's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section , Project Safe Childhood marshals federal , state , and local resources to locate , apprehend , and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children , and to identify and rescue victims . For more information about Project Safe Childhood , please visit www.usdoj.gov/psc For more information about internet safety education , please visit www.usdoj.gov/psc and click on the tab `` resources . '' Indictments are only allegations . All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court . A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines . The maximum penalty under federal law is 30 years ’ imprisonment , a term of supervised release following imprisonment , and a fine . Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines , the Judge is also required to consider and weigh a number of factors , including the nature , circumstances and seriousness of the offense ; the history and characteristics of the defendant ; and the need to punish the defendant , protect the public and provide for the defendant ’ s educational , vocational and medical needs . For these reasons , the statutory maximum penalty for the offense is not an accurate indicator of the potential sentence for a specific defendant . # # #

Malala Yousafzai literally took a bullet for refusing to abandon her education . Event organizers at the University of Peshwar may have dodged a bullet after local government officials halted the release of Malala ’ s pro-education memoir , I Am Malala , scrapping an event that would have served at the book ’ s Pakistani launch . But was there a credible security threat – or something else entirely – that led to the sudden cancellation ? One of the event ’ s organizers , Dr. Khadim Hussain , was contacted by Provincial Information Minister Shah Farman on Monday night to inform him that the book had been banned . Inayatullah Khan – a member of Jamaat-e-Islami , a conservative political group that supports Sharia law – also demanded that the memoir launch be called off . “ We said that freedom of expression , education and conflict were the three areas of debate and it was all connected with Central Asian studies . I told them the government should also come and be part of this debate , ” Hussain , director of the Baacha Khan Trust Educational Foundation , told Pakistan Today.Enjoying this article ? Click here to subscribe for full access . Just $ 5 a month . Hussain , who initially challenged the government orders , was then approached by the university ’ s vice-chancellor and registrar . Both echoed the government in their calls to stop the event . Even the Campus Peace Corps , administered by the provincial police , distanced themselves from the launch by refusing to provide security . “ [ The cancellation ] is against the spirit of freedom of expression and promotion of education because holding a ceremony in honor of Malala Yousufzai means to scale up awareness about child rights , ” Hussain added . “ They stopped us to please the Taliban. ” Farman countered Hussain by accusing event organizers of trying to get money from sympathetic Malala supporters in the U.S . In her home country , few people view the 16-year-old activist as a hero . “ The episode underlines the antipathy among many Pakistanis towards [ Malala ] , ” wrote The Guardian . “ While she has been hailed in the West for her campaign against extremism , in Pakistan she is widely regarded with suspicion , with many people believing conspiracy theories that the story of the Taliban attempt to assassinate her… was untrue or exaggerated. ” Late last year , the president of the All Pakistan Private Schools Management Association made the controversial decision to ban I Am Malala from the libraries of more than 40,000 affiliated schools . “ [ Malala ] was a role model for children , but this book has made her controversial , ” Adeeb Mirza , the association ’ s chairman , told Al Jazeera . “ Through this book , she became a tool in the hands of the Western powers. ” Mirza claims that the memoir doesn ’ t show enough respect for Islam or the Prophet Muhammad .

Convicted sex offender arrested in Naomi Jones murder A convicted sex offender released from prison less than four years ago has been arrested and charged with the murder of 12-year-old Naomi Jones . Robert Letroy Howard , 38 , was booked into Escambia County Jail just before 4:30 a.m. Thursday . He was arrested on charges of first-degree murder , kidnapping and failing to register as a sex offender . He is being held without bond . More : Hundreds gather to honor Naomi Jones at vigil `` We have caught our monster , '' Escambia County Sheriff 's Office Chief Deputy Chip Simmons said during Thursday 's press conference to announce the arrest . `` We have caught the killer that took Naomi 's life — a 12-year old girl who had her whole life in front of her . '' Investigators first identified Howard during a neighborhood canvas , where they learned he was in the area during the time Naomi went missing . Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan said Howard provided false information about his whereabouts during that time , saying he was at his home in Alabama . More : Naomi Jones likely died within first 24-36 hours Howard 's girlfriend lived in the same Aspen Village Apartments where Naomi lived , and Howard was a frequent visitor to the complex . Investigators believe Naomi and Howard were known to each other . Though the sheriff did not say so explicitly , he also hinted there may have been some social media interaction between the two . Though investigators are currently keeping the breadth of their evidence close to their chests , they said the totality of the evidence they collected made them confident Howard was their suspect . Howard is a convicted felon and served 15 years in prison for two counts of sexual assault and rape . According to Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Community Information Center , Howard was arrested Dec. 8 , 1998 , and convicted in Sept. 1 , 1999 , in Escambia County , Alabama . Howard 's address in Brewton , Alabama , was last verified the day after Naomi 's murder . Morgan said Howard 's vehicle was seen on surveillance footage by the creek where Naomi 's body was found , and he was placed under surveillance Wednesday . The ECSO took him into custody soon after , Morgan said , and arrested him following an interview . `` I will tell you over the past week , we have n't had many good days , '' Simmons said . `` Today is a good day . Today we arrested the killer of a child ... . We do hope that this arrest can provide some level of comfort to the family and to the community . '' At this time , investigators believe Howard acted alone . Assistant State Attorney Greg Marcille said Howard 's first court appearance will be Friday , during which his office will ask that Howard not be granted bond . He said a grand jury will review the facts of the case to determine whether to indict Howard on first-degree murder and related charges . If the grand jury indicts Howard , then prosecutors will determine whether to seek the death penalty . More : Remembrance event for Naomi Jones set for tonight Naomi went missing from her home on May 31 . The last known contact she had with anyone was through Facebook with a friend at 12:21 p.m. , according to Morgan . `` Knowing the psychology of Naomi , that she was somewhat of a private person , but , again , she was not a wilting flower . She would stand up for herself . She could be combative if confronted , '' Morgan said . `` So we knew that she would not readily get in a vehicle with someone . And so our investigators very early on said , 'This is probably someone that at least she knows , that she 's comfortable being around . ' '' Morgan said he wo n't comment on the possible sexual nature of the attack . Naomi 's preliminary autopsy showed she likely died within 24 and 36 hours of going missing , Morgan said , and her cause of death was asphyxiation . Morgan said in a press conference Wednesday that investigators believed it was possible Naomi had been targeted by a sexual predator she knew through social media . Investigators have reason to believe Naomi was transported from her neighborhood soon after she went missing , based on the fact that no witnesses in the area saw anything questionable . The investigation , which has now spanned more than a week , has encompassed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement , the FBI , ECSO and the State Attorney 's Office . Hundreds of community members helped in the search effort for the missing girl between May 31 and June 5 when Naomi 's body was found in Eight Mile Creek by two fishermen .

Crockett County Deputy Sentenced in West Tennessee on Federal Drug Trafficking Violations Memphis , TN – A former Crockett County Sheriff ’ s Deputy has been sentenced to 87 months in federal prison on cocaine trafficking and firearms charges . Lawrence J. Laurenzi , Acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee , announced the sentence today . According to the indictment , on February 13 , 2017 , Calvin Fields aided and abetted others in the distribution of a mixture of substance containing a detectable amount of cocaine . Mr. Fields was in possession of a Glock . 40 caliber pistol in furtherance of the drug trafficking crime . Federal agents arranged surveillance and saw Calvin Fields stationed in his patrol vehicle while on duty , providing security while cocaine was being delivered by an undercover cooperating source . `` No one is above the law . It is especially disheartening when those entrusted to protect and serve our communities commit criminal acts . Those who do so should know : We will use all our resources to come after you . '' said Lawrence J. Laurenzi , Acting U.S. Attorney , Western District of Tennessee . The suspect was arrested on Friday , February 17 , 2017 , on a federal complaint . The federal grand jury in Jackson returned the indictment on February 21 , 2017 . Johnie Carter , Special Agent in Charge , Violent Crime and Drug Task Force , 28th Judicial District said : `` When a Law Enforcement Officer commits a criminal act , they violate the trust of the community as well as their fellow Law Enforcement Officers . It angers everyone involved and tarnishes the badge that 99 % of officers work so hard at keeping polished . The West Tennessee Drug Task Force works very hard at ridding West Tennessee of the dangerous drugs and violent crime and those who are responsible . A Law Enforcement Officer is no different and must face the same justice as anyone else . '' On August 8 , 2017 , Chief United States District Judge S. Thomas Anderson sentenced Fields to 87 months ’ imprisonment and 3 years supervised release . While sentencing Fields , Judge Anderson said `` this case was one of the most troublesome cases of official corruption he had seen my time on the bench .

United States Settles False Claims Act Allegations Against Trinity Medical Pharmacy And Principals For More Than $ 2.2 Million Tampa , FL – United States Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez announces today that Trinity Medical Pharmacy , LLC , ( TMP ) and several of its principals have agreed to pay the United States $ 2,244,270.14 to resolve allegations that TMP violated the False Claims Act by knowingly billing TRICARE and other government programs for claims generated by illegal kickbacks and by knowingly omitting material information from TMP ’ s application to become a certified Express Scripts provider . The settlement relates to TMP ’ s marketing and sale of compounded medicine that should be uniquely tailored to an individual patient ’ s need and is often extremely expensive . Between 2013 and 2015 , TMP , formerly located in New Port Richey , billed TRICARE seeking millions of dollars in reimbursement for compounded medicine . At the time , Krutika Patel was TMP ’ s president and chief executive officer , Devan Patel was the company ’ s chief operating officer , Jay Martinez was TMP ’ s national sales director , and Nicholas Petrillo was the national account director and top sales representative . The United States alleges that TMP and these individuals knowingly sought reimbursement for compounded medicine claims generated through illegal kickbacks to patients and providers . The United States also alleges that TMP knowingly failed to disclose a material fact—COO Devan Patel ’ s previous felony conviction—when seeking to become an authorized provider with Express Scripts . Express Scripts is the pharmacy benefit manager for TRICARE and several carriers associated with the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program ( FEHBP ) . “ Protecting TRICARE and other federal health care programs from fraud is a priority of the U.S. Attorney ’ s Office , ” said U.S. Attorney Chapa Lopez . “ Those who defraud TRICARE misappropriate money intended to provide quality health care to members of our military and their families . We will continue to protect those who serve our country. ” “ This settlement demonstrates the effectiveness of investigations by the Defense Criminal Investigative Service and our law enforcement partners to ensure that precious taxpayer dollars are not used for unjust enrichment by fraudulent providers . DCIS protects the integrity of DoD programs by rooting out fraud , waste , and abuse which negatively impacts critical programs such as TRICARE , ” said Special Agent in Charge John F. Khin , Southeast Field Office . “ I would like to commend the work of our criminal investigators , their law enforcement partners , and the U.S. Attorney ’ s Office for their tireless efforts on this case , ” said U.S. Office of Personnel Management Acting Inspector General Norbert E. Vint . “ Their excellent work safeguards the integrity of the FEHBP and serves to protect the millions of Federal employees , retirees , and dependents who benefit from the program. ” “ The improper CHAMPVA billings made by Trinity Medical Pharmacy diverted funds intended for the care of Veterans who honorably served in the Armed Forces of the United States , ” stated David Spilker , Special Agent in Charge , VA Office of Inspector General . “ The continued oversight of the companies that do business with VA , as shown in this investigation , safeguard the integrity of VA programs and funding. ” The government ’ s action in this matter illustrates the emphasis on combating health care fraud , and one of the most powerful tools in this effort is the False Claims Act . Tips from all sources about potential fraud , waste , abuse , and mismanagement can be reported to the Department of Health and Human Services , at 800-HHS-TIPS ( 800-447-8477 ) .

Will first-time Florida permit be palmetto berry industry game-changer ? Times are changing for the saw palmetto berry harvest . For at least 50 years , picking the berries of this largely uncultivated native plant has yielded income in a season when most agriculture in Southwest Florida is dormant . Extract from saw palmetto berries is commonly used in Europe and the United States as a treatment for enlarged prostate . It 's been a bit like the Wild West out in the pine flatwoods and cattle country , with numerous unconfirmed reports of trespassing on private property and picking on public lands . Previously , it was legal to pick and sell palmetto berries from your own property or from property where you 'd been given permission to pick the fruits . This year , the state agriculture department issued rules requiring a harvesting permit and written permission from owners to pick on property that ’ s not yours . If palmetto berry harvesters , buyers , transporters or processors don ’ t have the required permits and permission letters , they can be charged with a misdemeanor . About a month into the harvest , it ’ s too early to know how big a game-changer this is . However , berry pickers and buyers recently interviewed say : - Pounds of berries brought to market are down compared with this time last year . - Prices are up , reaching $ 3 a pound or more from buyers in Immokalee . - So are arrests and citations for pickers . “ A lot of people have been locked up for it , but the business is still going , ” said Daniel Rios during breaks between receiving berries Aug. 20 at a makeshift weigh station at a parking lot along Immokalee ’ s New Market Road . Halfway into August , at least 16 people had been arrested in Collier County alone , on suspicion of harvesting palmetto berries without a permit . Most of the people were from Immokalee . In Lee County , palmetto-related arrests have come in at a pace of roughly two per day . Previous coverage : Harvest time in Immokalee for saw palmetto berry , prized as black bear food and herbal remedy What do the new rules mean ? The new rules mean law enforcement doesn ’ t have to catch people in the act of picking or trespassing to issue an arrest or a notice to appear in court on charges of illegal harvesting . Some people are arrested following traffic stops when deputies find bags of berries in the back of their cars or truck beds . Landowners also are using the rules to assert their private property rights . For example , a Golden Gate Estates resident called the Collier County Sheriff 's Office to report a group trespassing on her property . She confronted the people , who were picking berries , and asked them if they had a permit , according to an arrest report . The people fled after being confronted . But , deputies caught up with the truck , saw bags of berries in the truck bed , and arrested the eight people , the arrest report said . Since the new rule went into effect on July 17 , the state agriculture department has received 1,425 permit applications , spokesman Aaron Keller said on Friday . Asked about a rumored backlog in permit-processing , Keller said “ all complete applications are reviewed within 14 days. ” The permit application does n't look as arduous to complete as an IRS long form . However , it does ask such details as the Latin and common name of the plant to be harvested – and the location of the harvest property , including township , range , section , latitude and longitude . Although saw palmetto grows throughout the U.S. Southeast , Florida and Georgia are the main states . Palmetto berries thrive here Immokalee is the hub for the region 's palmetto berry harvest . On a recent weekday , a sporadic stream of pickups , vans and cars stopped to off-load and weigh palmetto berries at produce businesses clustered near the State Farmers Market . New Market Road and its offshoots are dotted with signs saying something like `` Se compra bolitas , '' which roughly translates to `` we buy palmetto berries . '' In Spanish , bolitas literally means `` little balls . '' Scott Niebel operates the Blue Skies repacking operation on New Market Road that takes crops harvested in the region and packs them for sale to wholesale produce buyers . It specializes in packing green bell peppers and hot peppers but wo n't have work in either of these crops until November . So Niebel and his dad , Jerry , are buying palmetto berries from local pickers , which they ’ ll sell to a broker in Georgia . Jerry Niebel thinks the new rules are hypocritical . They were touted as helping to promote the welfare of a commercially exploited native plant , he said . But , “ as soon as some developer wants to put in a development , they push the palmettos out of the way . “ It ’ s all politics , to me. ” The elder Niebel also believes the permit rules lack compassion for people of very modest means who are barely getting by until the farm crops come in . There ’ s no charge to apply for a permit . But the forms come only in English , something many pickers aren ’ t fluent in , Jerry Niebel said . He then shared the story of an older woman who broke down crying after selling some 300 pounds of berries . She told Niebel this money would help save her home . On the other hand , the Niebels also regaled visiting journalists with stories of nattily dressed people pulling up with trunk loads of berries in their Mercedes , fresh-picked off Naples golf courses . Those scenarios are the exception . Picking saw palmetto berries on wild tracts of land is hot , dirty work . The palmetto ’ s saw-toothed fronds can draw blood . The twisted trunks and dense foliage are great cover for snakes , rodents and creepy-crawlies . A treat for humans – and Florida black bears Still , in summer at least two species ca n't get enough of the slow-growing , sprawling shrub . Those are the humans who harvest and sell the berries – and Florida black bears . Saw palmetto berries are a primary food source for the bears , who even in Florida bulk-up before winter . Wildlife scientists wonder whether declining acreage in saw palmetto and increased real estate development are putting hungry bears closer to homes and businesses . More : No Florida black bear hunt this year More : Waffles used to lure wandering black bear into trap at Fort Myers apartment complex Although they respect private property rights , these scientists would like owners of big and small private lands to just say no to berry picking . In some ways , it ’ s hard to believe people would go to so much bother for a bitter berry that would make a human mouth pucker in disgust . But there ’ s gold in those gunnysacks . The $ 3 per pound and more the berries were fetching along the streets of Immokalee on Aug. 20 was roughly three times more than a year ago . Ultimately , the berries are dried , ground-up and then sold to pharmaceutical and herbal supplement manufacturers . They reputedly lessen the symptoms of prostate enlargement , which makes it difficult for some men to urinate . `` More than two million American men use saw palmetto for enlarged prostate , and it is commonly recommended as an alternative treatment by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration , '' according to the Mayo Clinic 's consumer web pages . Palmetto berry extracts also have been used for low sperm count , low sex drive , hair loss , bronchitis , diabetes , inflammation , migraine , and prostate cancer , `` although there is limited evidence supporting its effectiveness for these conditions , '' the Mayo Clinic website added . Large landowners in Southwest Florida increasingly have struck deals with palmetto berry harvesters in which the two parties typically split the profits . However , on remote parcels , unauthorized strangers often beat harvesting crews to prime spots and picked the saw palmettos clean . And , these early-bird berry poachers often picked before the berries were fully ripe , which can hurt their market value . Ray March oversees land management for Naples-based Collier Enterprises , which owns some 50,000 acres in rural portions of Collier and Hendry counties . March calls the new rules “ a big improvement , although we ’ ll have to see how it works out. ” Some 20 years ago , the Florida Legislature named the saw palmetto an emerging agricultural crop . However , the commercial potential for the berries has lagged well behind its initial promise , said agricultural economist Fritz Roka . He ’ s worked for almost two decades at the University of Florida 's Southwest Florida Research and Education Center in Immokalee , but as of today became director of the new Center for Agribusiness at Florida Gulf Coast University . What 's needed , Roka said , is a complete legal infrastructure , much like there is in the citrus industry , in which berry ownership can be tracked from landowner to harvester , to shipper , to intermediaries and finally to the herbal/dietary supplement manufacturer . “ You can have all the rules and regulations you want . But once you sell ( berries ) on the streets of Immokalee , there ’ s no traceability , ” Roka said . Regulations control how a product is sold , “ so you can get full value , ” Roka said , adding : “ If even 15- to 25 percent of those berries are poached , those berries will influence the price on the market. ” The Naples Daily News reporter Alexi Cardona contributed to this report .

WASHINGTON — Joshua Holt , who traveled to Venezuela from Utah in 2016 to marry a Spanish-speaking Mormon woman but soon found himself jailed and later branded the CIA 's top spy in Latin America , was set free by the anti-American Maduro government on Saturday , saying he was `` overwhelmed with gratitude . '' Holt and his wife , Thamara Caleno , arrived Saturday evening at Washington Dulles International Airport for a tearful reunion with his parents , Laurie and Jason Holt . A few hours later President Donald Trump welcomed them to the White House . `` Those two years , they were a very , very , very difficult two years , '' said an emotional Holt , sitting next to Trump in the Oval Office . `` Not really the great vacation that I was looking for ... I 'm just so grateful for what you guys have done . '' To Holt , Trump said : `` You 've gone through a lot . More than most people could endure . '' The Utah man 's mother , Laurie Holt , thanked Trump and the lawmakers for her son 's safe return , adding : `` I also want to say thank you to President Maduro for releasing Josh and letting him to come home . '' Their release came one day after Sen. Bob Corker , R-Tenn. , held a surprise meeting in Caracas with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro , who the Trump administration says runs a `` dictatorship '' and just won re-election in a `` sham '' vote . Trump , in a tweet , described Holt as a `` hostage . '' The U.S. contended Holt was held on trumped up charges . Months of secret , backchannel talks between an aide to Corker , chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee , and close allies of Maduro preceded their return . Yet Holt 's release had seemed unlikely even a week ago . Joining Trump in the Oval Officer were Corker , Utah Sens . Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee and Utah Rep. Mia Love . The lawmakers thanked Trump for his support . The White House learned from Corker on Friday of Holt 's impending release , according to a U.S. official who has closely followed Holt 's plight and spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the private talks . Holt and his wife were reunited at the Caracas airport with her daughter from a previous relationship , and all three boarded a chartered flight to Washington . `` We are on our way home , '' Corker tweeted . When he departed the Caracas airport earlier , Holt told The Associated Press that the ordeal had left him `` exhausted . '' Venezuela 's communications minister , Jorge Rodriguez , said their release was a goodwill gesture that followed months of dialogue between the Maduro government and U.S. lawmakers . `` We 're praying that this type of gesture ... will allow us to strengthen what we 've always sought : dialogue , harmony , respect for our independence and respect for our sovereignty , '' he said . Holt , now 26 , set out for the South American country in June 2016 to marry a woman he met online while looking for Spanish-speaking Mormons who could help him improve his Spanish . He had planned to spend several months in Caracas that summer with his new wife and her two daughters , to secure their visas so they could move with him to the U.S . Instead , the couple was arrested that June 30 at her family 's apartment in a government housing complex on the outskirts of Caracas . Authorities accused him of stockpiling an assault rifle and grenades , and suggested that his case was linked to other unspecified U.S. attempts to undermine Maduro 's rule amid deep economic and political turbulence . They were held in a notorious Caracas prison , run by the secret police , that also is home to dozens of top Maduro opponents jailed during the past few years of political unrest in the country . Their trial was set to begin this month after repeated delays that led the Trump administration to question the motives for his detention . Until Trump 's tweet on Saturday , the U.S. had stopped short of publicly calling Holt a `` hostage . '' Holt 's release looked unlikely a week ago , when he appeared in a clandestinely shot video railing against the Maduro government and saying his life was threatened in a prison riot . In retaliation , socialist party boss Diosdado Cabello , a powerful Maduro ally , said on state television that Holt was the CIA 's top spy in Latin America . Sen. Marco Rubio , R-Fla. , spoke to Trump at length Friday night and later said the couple 's release `` will in no way change U.S. policy toward the dictatorship in Venezuela . '' The White House press secretary issued a statement to that point Saturday night , saying policy was not changing even while thanking the government for releasing the Holts . The statement also called the recent elections `` illegitimate '' and urged the release of all political prisoners . The Trump administration has threatened crippling oil sanctions on Venezuela for Maduro 's decision to go forward with the presidential election last week . The U.S. government at first avoided ratcheting up public pressure on Venezuela in light of their already strained relations , but eventually raised Holt 's case with the highest levels of the Venezuelan government and decried his treatment in prison . Corker was seen live on state TV on Friday shaking hands with Maduro and being greeted by first lady Cilia Flores as he entered the presidential palace . Corker left an hour later ; neither the senator nor the president made any statements . Laurie Holt worked feverishly to bring attention to her son 's incarceration , hosting rallies , fundraisers and doing media interviews . She said her son has suffered numerous health problems in jail , including kidney stones and respiratory problems . He was depressed and at one point lost so much weight that he dropped several pant sizes , she said . In their statement , the Holt family said , `` We thank you for your collaboration during this time of anguish . We ask that you allow us to meet with our son and his wife before giving any interviews and statements . We are grateful to all who participated in this miracle . '' Goodman reported from Bogota , Colombia . Associated Press writers Scott Smith in Caracas , Venezuela , and Brady McCombs in Salt Lake City contributed to this report .

When you take a sip of coffee bought from Brown Dining Services , Blue State or the Bookstore , you may notice a unique flavor . The brew itself is unremarkable , mediocre or worse , but it ’ s fair trade coffee . That pleasant aftertaste is entirely psychosomatic . You have just bought coffee with an injection of what Brown University and Blue State serve best : smug self-righteousness . Fairtrade is a company that certifies certain coffee products as “ fair. ” Its mission statement proclaims that it seeks to promote “ justice and sustainable development ” in order to “ develop ( the ) full potential ” of coffee producers . Many consumers believe that Fairtrade coffee is organic , promotes stable prices for producers and helps small family farmers thrive in an industry dominated by corporations so soulless they have dared employ economies of scale . Fairtrade ’ s reputation is dearly bought and more than a little inaccurate . Let me preface this column by saying that I am completely enamored of using economic freedom to achieve social justice . The number of similar ventures — in which consumers pay a premium for a good in exchange for a guarantee that it was produced in a manner they deem virtuous — has burgeoned . Utilizing market forces to effect our values is less onerous than calling for government coercion . If Brown is to vote with our dollar , however , we can not be content with swallowing the public relations line of Fairtrade without some due diligence . Even a cursory examination of the Fairtrade business practices and guidelines reveals that the certifiers are anything but a politically neutral force for good . For starters , only about 10 percent of the premium we pay to sip Fairtrade coffee actually gets passed along to the producers . Given that Fairtrade sets the price of their coffee at nearly double the market rate for coffee of similar quality , this begs the question : where is the money going ? The 2006 annual report of the Fairtrade corporation sets publicity expenditures at around 1/4 of total expenditures . The 2008 Trustees Report saw a marked increase in both PR expenditures and the creativity of the accountants ; the single largest expenditure of 2008 was on “ Public Education and Awareness. ” The second largest expenditure was “ Marketing and Product Development. ” These two line items — and the fact that they were deemed distinct is itself questionable — constituted over half of the total expenditures of the corporation . Both activities were meant to ensure that Fairtrade has a monopoly on self-righteousness , and both were classified under the heading “ charitable activities. ” In a very real sense , we are paying a premium for little more than the luxury of being told we are doing the right thing . Are we ? The guidelines Fairtrade has set to qualify coffee producers are onerous , illogical and often exclude the very type of growers that many Fairtrade coffee consumers believe they are supporting . Fairtrade coffee growers are barred from practices as simple as hiring a laborer for any period exceeding a year . One might suggest that , though the methods are crude , these guidelines bolster family farms , but Fairtrade will not deal with individual family farms . In order to qualify for the certification , coffee growers must re-organize into large cooperatives consisting of hundreds of land-owners . These cooperatives must dole out between $ 2,000 and $ 4,000 to Fairtrade in order to be ordained “ fair. ” If the cooperative qualifies , then they must pay annual recertification fees on top of a percentage of each pound of coffee sold . Any profits made by Fairtrade growers belong solely to the cooperative , regardless of the needs or the contributions , whether quantitative or qualititative , of individual growers . Fairtrade has deemed that the proper way to divvy out any profit is to give each farmer one vote on its proper usage . Another popular misconception surrounding Fairtrade is that the certification has something to do with being “ organic. ” This is erroneous . Fairtrade certification has no substantive crossover with organic guidelines . Around 40 percent of Fairtrade certified coffee does not meet U.S. standards for organically produced goods . When Brown University decided to buy coffee exclusively from Fairtrade , we made the decision to boycott small and large family farms who refuse to re-organize into collectives . We made the decision that large-scale coffee plantations — regardless of who is running them , or how workers are treated — are unethical . Perhaps worst of all , we affirmed that twenty-four employees at Fairtrade coffee know how to organize labor in a way that benefits the needy better than any individual coffee grower or an entire market . Consumerism as a moral act is a compelling notion , but one which requires serious research about the actual effect on those we so sanctimoniously purport to help .
