Those ads are all too familiar to Angie Barnett, President and CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Greater Maryland. “It is all over the internet, we find them everywhere, I'm listening to the radio, you hear it constantly." But Barnett warns buyers beware. She says, “that you can get these free credit reports but what they are going to do is give you something you can already get for free then secondly they are going to try to sell you a bundle or package of services that are directly related to protecting you from identity theft." She goes on to say that those services are steps you can take on your own without paying.The federal government requires all three of the major credit reporting agencies, Transunion, Experian and Equifax, to give you a free copy of your report once a year. There is only one place on the internet where you can do that and it is http://www.annualcreditreport.com“We encourage people to be sure you stagger it," says Barnett.

It marked his second straight disappointing finish to a playoff game, following his flubbed hold of a short field goal in Seattle last January. "It hurts," said Romo, who was 18-of-36 for 201 yards with a touchdown. "It's tough right now." Terrell Owens came to his quarterback's defense, even crying behind dark sunglasses with a quivering bottom lip while declaring, "You can point the finger at him, you can talk about the vacation (with Simpson), and if you do that, it's really unfair.

Jean Siegel, owner of Jean Siegel Realty next door to Vincenzo's, was more forthcoming.� "I believe in free speech, but by vocalizing it that way, it does, it offends my sensitivity," she said.� "No matter what you think, Mr. Bush is still our president, and I think he deserves our respect." Even local civil rights attorney Michael Sussman disapproved of Kaestner's tactics.� "I think, as political expression, it's counterproductive," he said.

"You have to rely on (and appeal to) people's common sense, rather than throwing prohibitions up all over the place," he said. "That's what the First Amendment is all about." Monroe police Lt. Alex Melchiorre said if private businesses want to kick Kaestner off their property, he's got to go.
