DeKalb County Speech Pathologist Indicted for Medicaid Fraud
A DeKalb County Grand Jury returned an indictment on April 5, 2011, against Kenneth A. Thisdale for Medicaid Fraud. Thisdale is a speech pathologist and was employed by a company which had entered into contracts to provide speech therapy services to students in DeKalb County Schools. Many of the students who received therapy services pursuant to the contracts were Medicaid recipients. The indictment alleges that Thisdale submitted false Medicaid claims for more speech therapy services than he actually provided and for services that he had not rendered. Additionally, Thisdale purportedly falsified patient charts to conceal the fraudulent billing.
Thisdale was indicted for one count of Medicaid Fraud (O.C.G.A. § 49-4-146.1(b)), a felony punishable by up to ten years imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $10,000.00 plus restitution, for allegedly submitting false Medicaid claims.
Senior Assistant Attorney General D. Williams-McNeely is prosecuting the case on behalf of the State of Georgia. Williams-McNeely presented the case to the DeKalb County Grand Jury on April 5, 2011, and the Grand Jury returned the indictments the same day in DeKalb County Superior Court. The case was investigated by Special Agent Merlin Ector of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and Investigative Auditor Kim Kolesnick of the State Health Care Fraud Control Unit.
Members of the public should keep in mind that indictments contain only allegations against the individual(s) against whom the indictment is sought. A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and it will be the government's burden at trial to prove the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the allegations contained in the indictment.

I've been on this site for a few months just for the wind really, you may recognize the names, Juan Kerr, Renzo Ripsnorter, Bright N Hurley, Dustin Hough who are all retired. But to witness what I witnessed last night from Moto 2 was truly awesome. If you have Sky plus go to 12 or 13 minutes from the end and watch Scott Redding put in the then fastest lap, to see a young man, no boy come round that final corner like Jason Crump was unbelievable. IF IT WAS CASEY OR NICKY PEOPLE WOULD BE DROOLING. So COME ON you Brits out there let's get behind this lad. This is real head to nose stuff. He's going to be our best chance since Bazza to win something, at this level, and I don't say this lightly. I have been involved with racing ( motocross and road) for 42 years and he's one of the best from our shores. 3 agree 0 disagree

The startup Buffer has a radical approach to transparency. Corporate minders watch your every move, on and off the clock, and the results of their nosy prying are available to all of your coworkers. From Inc. -
We recently gave everyone at Buffer a Jawbone UP wristband. It allows you to automatically track your sleep, your daily steps, your nutrition, and a lot more.
One of our key values at Buffer is to work smarter, not harder. Personal improvement is a big part of that, so giving employees a tool that can help improve their sleep patterns is a no-brainer.
A few weeks in it's already had an incredible effect. Browsing everyone's sleep patterns and talking about how to get more deep sleep has an amazing effect on productivity.
It's good when companies give off a clear "this is not for me" signal.

Samsung Electronics America has launched a set of multi-display monitors including a new 22-inch SyncMaster 2243QW, and laptop companion monitors LD220 and LD190X.
All three monitors incorporate Samsung's UbiSync technology, which creates a multi-monitor system without a graphic card or complex software installations, and is able to connect up to 6 displays to a PC via USB.
The 2243QW features resolution of 1680x1050, 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 5ms response time. In addition to a built-in USB hub, the monitor also features the traditional VGA (15-pin D-sub) and DVI-D connections, and it is compatible with both Mac and Windows systems.
The LD220 and LD190X monitors have a resolution of 1920x1080 and 1366x768, 5ms response time, contrast ratio of 1000:1, and are compatible with Windows Vista. The monitors have two-lamp low power consumption and an off timer to help conserve energy.
The LD190X model uses UbiSync wireless technology that transmits video signal to the monitor from the host notebook and uses about 33% less energy than a conventional 19-inch product.
All monitors are available through Samsung resellers and distribution channels.

Roasted Veal Loin with Rosé Pan Sauce
This makes more than Jan Newberry and her husband can eat, so they use the leftovers in sandwiches; it's a nice way to remember the meal.
Slideshow: More Veal Recipes
- Servings: 4
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- One 2-pound boneless veal loin, trimmed and tied
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3/4 cup rosé wine
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 375°. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet. Season the veal with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until browned all over, about 7 minutes. Put the skillet in the oven and roast the veal for about 45 minutes, or until the meat is just slightly pink in the center and reaches 130° on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the veal to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Set the skillet over high heat and pour in the rosé. Cook, scraping up any browned bits from the pan, until the sauce is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 6 minutes. Whisk in the tarragon and butter. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and serve with the veal.
Serve With
Orzo with parsley.
Suggested Pairing
A rich Chardonnay suits the sweet, tender meatiness of the veal, but a Pinot Noir or red Burgundy adds more complexity and underscores the fruitiness of the rosé sauce. A Pinot Noir-based red will also tolerate the salad reasonably well, although no wine is flattered by a vinaigrette dressing.

Hazelnut Torte
This mouthwatering torte recipe is courtesy of chef Lidia Bastianich, and can be found in her cookbook, "Lidia's Italy."
- Yield: Makes one 10-inch cake
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, July Summer 2008
- 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
- 1 1/2 cups hazelnuts, toasted and skins removed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
- 1 cup milk, room temperature
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- Confectioners' sugar, for garnish (optional)
- Whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch springform pan; set aside.
Place hazelnuts in the bowl of a food processor; process until coarsely chopped and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix together butter and sugar until light, smooth, and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the eggs, olive oil, and orange zest, mixing well on slow speed after each addition.
With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with milk and beginning and ending with flour; beat until just combined. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat on high speed about 2 minutes; fold in nuts and chocolate.
Pour batter into prepared cake pan, smoothing top with a spatula. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top is light brown and just springs back when lightly touched, about 45 minutes.
Transfer cake to a cooling rack; let cool 30 minutes. Remove outer ring of pan; let cool completely. Cut into wedges and serve dusted with confectioners' sugar or whipped cream, if desired.

Gainesville Police Arrest 3 Juveniles in Graffiti Rampage
Gainesville police have arrested three people accused of a racial and sexual graffiti rampage in northwest Gainesville Thursday morning.
The names of the suspects can't be released because they are juveniles, but police say they are very familiar with the neighborhoods they are accused of terrorizing with spray paint.
Residents of the Blue Creek and Westchester neighborhoods woke up Thursday morning to a barrage of spray-painted graffiti, much of it racial and sexual in nature.
The images included body parts, a swastika, and an African-American slur.
Homes, cars, and street signs were painted.
Police say the vandals even tried to break into a home.
Residents say the vandalism cost them several thousands dollars in damage and peace of mind.
Several say the neighborhoods have seen a spike in vandalism in the past two weeks, including a port-a-potty pushed over in the street and a television set thrown in the middle of the road.
GPD says despite the racial slurs, this is not considered a hate crime, and none of the victims are believed to have been specifically targeted.

text: Much of the recent social science work in the energy field has been focused on changing the behaviour of individuals at home through values, attitudes, and information about climate change. However, people do more than live in houses; some people make their livelihood in them. This presentation considers the role of intermediaries (e.g., architects, engineers, builders, etc.) and their work in creating change from the "middle-out" rather than the top-down or bottom up. It focuses on the nature and distribution of expertise in low-carbon renovation using a "system of professions" lens. From this perspective, professional groups compete and develop interdependently, based in part upon their ability to perform (and defend) the tasks within their jurisdiction. Growth in knowledge—in this case, the causes and impacts of climate change— can create a "new" legitimate set of problems and therefore an opportunity for new professional group(s). Who can best deliver low-carbon improvements over the coming decades? How will they be educated? Will the tasks be taken up by members of existing groups, or by new entrants to the market? The presentation addresses these questions with evidence drawn from developments in the residential sector, mainly in the United Kingdom.

Interpretive Summary: The phase-out of production and use of methyl bromide due to its designation as an ozone depleting substance has resulted in an intensive search to identify alternative chemicals and combinations of strategies as alternatives to fumigation with methyl bromide. It is imperative that all alternative strategies including reduced risk or lower risk chemical alternatives receive vigorous field testing to insure growers that reliable and consistent levels of pest control can be achieved. Two formulations of Plantpro (PP45 and PP20), a reduced risk iodophore, were tested for effects on tomato growth and incidence of root-knot nematodes. Three field trials were performed during two growing seasons in two Florida locations. In general, PP45 and PP20 did not differ from the untreated control with respect to plant growth, disease, or yield. Also, PP45 and PP20 treatments did not generally differ from each other with respect to these evaluations.
Technical Abstract: Two formulations of a water-soluble, iodophore were evaluated as potential alternatives to methyl bromide soil fumigation by assessing their effects on growth, disease and yield of tomato. Three field trials evaluating Plantpro 45 and Plantpro 20EC were conducted in 2001 at two locations in central Florida. Application of Plantpro 45 and Plantpro 20EC was performed through two drip irrigation lines while methyl bromide was shank applied in the planting bed. Methyl bromide treated soil consistently produced plants with increased shoot length, shoot weight, and root weight early in the season, healthier root condition and lower gall ratings throughout the season, and significantly greater yields compared to both Plantpro formulations in two of three experiments. Both Plantpro formulations resulted in root-knot nematode populations in soil similar to the nontreated control soil in all studies. In fall experiments at both locations, plants in methyl bromide treated soil had significantly less galling at the end of the season than both Plantpro formulations.

Tesco's embattled chief executive Philip Clarke has suffered yet more damaging speculation with renewed reports that his finance director Laurie McIlwee is to quit the grocer.
McIlwee could depart Tesco as early as next week amid a rumoured clamour for him to resign in the City.
The company declined to comment on the story. "There's clearly some people out to get him," one executive said.
If Mr McIlwee did resign next week it would create a major headache for Mr Clarke who is due to report another set of disappointing results a week on Wednesday.
Tesco has lost a string of top executives since Mr Clarke's promotion to chief executive in March 2011. Tim Mason, who headed the failed US launch, Richard Brasher, UK chief, David Potts, head of Asia and Andrew Higginson, who led the Tesco Bank, have all left.
Some analysts say that is not surprising, given that Mr Clarke has been wrestling with the legacy of his predecessor Sir Terry Leahy's over-expansion abroad and lack of investment at home. Mr Clarke has been left with a string of underperforming businesses.
It has been widely reported that Mr Clarke and Mr McIlwee have clashed on key areas of strategy, a charge that was repeated in the Financial Times last night, citing two sources, although this was denied by one senior executive at the company who said the pair were remained on good terms as recently as a meeting on Tuesday.
However, others say the departure of such a key executive as his finance director would leave the management team dangerously thin. Shares are at their lowest level for nearly a decade and investors are impatient at the company's seeming inability to stem the gradual decline in sales growth and compete with discounters like Lidl and Aldi.
Mr McIlwee has been finance director since 2009 although he has been with the company since 2000 when he ran the UK finance department.
Reports last month said the company had been considering Mr McIlwee's position since a February investor presentation when it scrapped one of its key profit margin targets to enable it to compete more rigorously on price. He has also pledged to step up the revamp of his UK stores.
Some investors had already been questioning his grip on the finances last autumn when Tesco suddenly warned about profits falling in central Europe.Reuse content

Ideal use of Carriers
I have a 3-month old baby and she is starting to have control of her neck and head. She's also gaining weight that sometimes it strains my arms whenever I carry her for a long time in a lying position. My husband thought of getting her a baby carrier so it would be easy for us to move around most especially when doing errands. Is it safe for this age to be placed on a vertical/standing position? What is the ideal age for infants to use a baby carrier?

USC Men's and Women's Swimming Defeat Texas A&M, Nebraska in Dual Meets
LOS ANGELES -- The No. 3 USC women's swimming team and the No. 7 men's team swept Texas A&M and Nebraska in dual meet action at the USC McDonald's Swim Stadium today. Also, Nebraska defeated Texas A&M in both men's and women's action.
The Women of Troy improved to 5-0 with their 233-67 win over the No. 25 Aggies (5-3) and 213-87 win over the No. 16 Cornhuskers (3-2). The Trojans, who improved to 4-0, defeated Texas A&M (6-2), 226-72, and beat No. 15 Nebraska (5-2), 167.50-132.50. Nebraska defeated Texas A&M in women's 181-119, and in men's 207-93.
The Women of Troy were led by senior Kristine Quance, who won both the 100 and 200 breast, and sophomore Karen Campbell, who took the 100 fly, 200 fly and 200 free.
The Trojans were led by senior Jeff Julian, who won the 200 fly, 500 free and tied for first in the 200 free.
Leading the Cornhuskers were junior Alex Shiefman, who won the 100 back and took third in the 50 free, freshman Beth Karaica, who won the 50 free and took second in the 100 free, and senior Juan Benavides, who won the 50 free and took second in the 100 free.
Highlighting Texas A&M's efforts was junior Stacie Karnes, who won the 200 free.

Mine is still "wavy", 2 days out of the box. I think some moderate heat to the Styrene with a sheet of plywood on top of it, followed by an elephant standing on the plywood SHOULD return it to its normal state.

Does having it rolled up warp Styrene?
I'll be able to work with the wavy Styrene as long as its straight enough to fit in my frames. *That* was my main concern with it.
As far as the Sintra goes, that I'm a little more upset about. Often I thermoform Sintra, but sometimes I just need a good, straight piece for "project X", and now that Sintra is all bendy. Again, hopefully some heat and pressing will fix it. Whether it does or not, the point is, I shouldn't HAVE to "fix" new material that is shipped to me. It should be packaged and shipped appropriately so I can use it "out of the box". Having to fix new material due to inproper packaging is irritating to say the least.
As far as other online vendors go, I used to order from Materiél Graphics in Chicago. They'd send me a 1"x1" piece of Sintra, if I wanted it. GREAT customer service, great prices, and low shipping. Unfortunately, they decided to stop selling to individuals and only sell to companies now.

The Warrensburg Tigers wrestling team was defeated by the Smith Cotton Tigers for the first time in eight years Tuesday night by a final score of 40-33.
"There were several kids that had the opportunity to win," said Coach Jeff Brown, "but we didn't wrestle to the best of our ability."
Sheldon Blose said the team "went into the match over-confident."
Brown said he feels prepared for the upcoming Kearney Duals.
"Sedalia will be there, so we will hopefully get the opportunity to duel them again and get the score we should have got," he said.
Overall, the Tigers have a winning record of 14-5.
Jamie Embrey is a Warrensburg High School student.

Expert advice FOR INSUGEN-N injection
- Do not take insulin isophane, if you experience any allergic reactions such as redness, swelling, rash and itching at the injection site, rash, itching or hives on the skin, wheezing or difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue or other parts of the body.
- Take special precaution, if you are experiencing low blood sugar levels as seen by symptoms such as cold sweat; cool pale skin, headache, rapid heartbeat, feeling sick, feeling very hungry, temporary changes in vision, drowsiness, unusual tiredness and weakness; nervousness or tremor, feeling anxious, feeling confused, difficulty in concentrating.
- Inform your doctor about all the medicines you take, including vitamins and herbal supplements especially ones commonly called TZDs (thiazolidinedione) which are used as antidiabetic medicines.
- Insulin isophane preparations that are instructed to be injected under the layer of skin, do not inject it into a vein or muscle.
- Injection sites must be rotated between upper arm (deltoid), abdominal, buttocks and thigh area from one injection to the next, such that each site of prick is used not more than once in 1 to 2 weeks; this is to reduce the skin changes at injection site.
- Do not dilute or mix two preparations of insulin or insulin isophane. Also be aware that any change in strength, manufacturer, type, origin, or method of preparation may warrant a change in dose.
- Read and follow the instructions provided with the insulin isophane vial/container, for loading a cartridge, attaching a needle, performing a safety test and administering the insulin injection.
- If you experience any symptoms of hypoglycemia (such as cold sweat; cool pale skin, headache, rapid heartbeat, feeling sick, feeling very hungry, temporary changes in vision, drowsiness, unusual tiredness and weakness; nervousness or tremor, feeling anxious, feeling confused, difficulty in concentrating) you need to raise your blood sugar immediately by eating sugars or carbohydrates.
- Precaution must be taken while driving or handling machines as your ability to concentrate or react may be reduced, if you suffer from low/high blood sugar levels or you have problems with your sight.
- Do not drink alcohol while using insulin isophane.
- Avoid using insulin isophane, if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
Frequently asked questions FOR INSUGEN-N 100IU injection
Insulin Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH)
Q. How does biphasic isophane insulin work?
Insulin isophane is a recombinant human insulin analogue (genetically modified insulin that is grown in a laboratory and similar to human insulin). It is an intermediate acting insulin preparation. Insulin isophane acts by replacing the normal production of insulin and by helping transfer sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is utilized to generate energy. It also stops the liver from producing more sugar. Intermediate acting insulin preparations start acting within an hour or 2 of injection, and reach a period of peak activity that lasts up to 7 hours, following which the action trails off; overall duration of action ranges from 18 to 24 hours.

UNH's Cam Lyle Donates Bone Marrow

Leading up to the end of 2013, we'll be counting down the top 5 Off the Field stories of the year. Here is the No. 1 story:
University of New Hampshire's Cameron Lyle earned the first-ever America East Award of Valor this evening at the conference's annual awards dinner in Portland, Maine. The award, which resembles the NCAA Award of Valor, recognizes a courageous action or noteworthy bravery.
Lyle, a four-year track & field athlete at New Hampshire, embodies the essence of the Award of Valor. The week before the Penn Relays, one of the most prestigious track meets in the world and two weeks prior to the America East Championship, Lyle made a life-changing decision. The senior was notified by the National Marrow Donor Program that he had been identified as a match for an anonymous 28-year old man who was suffering from lymphoblastic leukemia and would not survive without a bone marrow transplant.
Knowing it would prevent him from competing anymore as a collegian, Lyle volunteered for the transplant and on May 24 underwent the invasive procedure to donate bone marrow to someone he did not know. The act immediately received national coverage, including in Sports Illustrated, the Boston Globe, Huffington Post and on ESPN.
"Cameron's act of selflessness by forgoing the end of collegiate career to help give life to a complete stranger is truly inspiring and well deserving of this honor," said America East Commissioner Amy Huchtausen.
Lyle's act of heroism will be forwarded on as a nominee for the NCAA Award of Valor, which has been awarded only 15 times since 1974.
The NCAA Award of Valor may be presented to a coach or administrator currently associated with intercollegiate athletics, or to a current or former varsity letter-winner at an NCAA institution who, when confronted with a situation involving personal danger, averted or minimized potential disaster by courageous action or noteworthy bravery.

Craftsman Rear engine mowermodel #ZTS7500
Questions & Answers about this model powered by
craftsman 7500 craftsman zts 7500
my mower has stopped starting. when I turn the key it clicks. I have tried all the things the tech told me to try with past problems. I think my warranty is out and I haven't received a response from the email I a few days a go to check on it. I have changed out the solenoid and that didn't fix the problem. but now I can hear the starter turn when I turn the key but the engine doesn't start. i believe that the starter may be bad but im not sure.

searspartsdirect.com is always a great resource to find the answers to your parts questions. your sears partsdirect expert will research your question and respond within two business days but usually sooner. thank you for using searspartsdirect.com!
Rachel Morgan, May 31, 2013
thank you for contacting searspartsdirect.com with your questions about your craftsman rear engine riding mower. i am so sorry to hear it wont start. i can understand how frustrating that can be, especially after you have already put so much work into it already. i will be happy to help you with this.
i recommend we first check and see if your mower is still in warranty. to do that, contact our partsdirect department. with your information (name, phone number and address), we can determine when the mower was purchased and if it is still in warranty. since we don't want you to put your personal information on this public forum, i recommend you go to www.searspartsdirect.com and click to chat with an associate. you can also contact us at 1-800-366-7278. if your rider is in warranty, you will be able to set up service by going to www.searshomeservices.com or calling 1-800-469-4663.
next i recommend reviewing the troubleshooting section of your owner's manual. on page 33 there is a list of things to check when the engine will not start. . if you do not have the manual, please respond to this thread with your model number off of the mower and i will send you the link to view it on line. the zts 7500 model mower was produced with 8 different engines and size deck combinations. to locate the correct parts for your model, we will need to know which version of the mower you own. on the mower, there will be a label with a model number that starts with 107. it is always located with the serial number and is normally on the fender below the seat. that model number will show which engine you have. your model will have either a kohler engine or a briggs and stratton engine and will be between 19 to 26 horsepower. it is always best to get the model number off of the mower itself, as the manual will not have the last number. this last number is crucial as it shows engineering changes, parts the manufacturer changed from one production to the next. it could be something as small as a bolt and as major as the complete engine.
once you have completed the check list, there are parts that should be tested to see if one has failed. check the battery, the seat switch, the pto switch, the interlock switch and circuit breaker. any time you make multiple attempts to start the engine, it causes wear on the ignition switch, the solenoid and the spark plug. since you have already changed the solenoid, i recommend checking the ignition switch. if the switch needs to be replaced, you should replace the spark plug at the same time. if you need assistance with how to test the switch, please respond to this thread with your complete model number so i will be able to see which switch is on your mower. you may also want to test the solenoid, just to make sure you didn't get a defective one.
if the above checks out, it could be the starter itself. over time the brushes in the starter may wear or break. you can either take it apart and clean it throughly, or it might be easier to replace it. if the mower was stored with fuel in it, you may have a clogged carburetor. a good way to check the carburetor is to remove the float bowl. if you see white power, green algae or tarnish in the bowl, you should replace the carburetor. if you need to replace the carburetor, i recommend protecting the new carburetor by using fuel stabilizer in the gas. it will keep the fuel fresh for 2 years and prevent future problems. i have included that link for you.
i hope this answers your questions. if i can be of any further assistance, please respond to this thread. thank you for choosing sears, we appreciate your business.
Jim, July 21, 2013
linda b incredible long and pre calculated answers don't help... if you want it to start and you can hear it turning over but nothing fires up simply undo the 2 bolts on the very top of the engine ( they have easy to turn tops for fingers or pliers) youll see the air filter pop it off as well, the you'll see a small hose with a little clamp on it... as you turn the key in the ignition tap the clamped area with a screw driver or pliers... boom ignition i've had the same problem for years... that should be the solution good luck

Jayne Marie Mansfield (born November 8, 1950) is the first child and eldest daughter of 1950s Hollywood sex symbol and Playboy Playmate Jayne Mansfield and ex-husband Paul and is also the older half-sister of actress Mariska Hargitay. In July 1976, she became the first daughter of a Playmate to be a featured model.[citation needed] To date, only one other daughter of a Playmate has been featured in the magazine. Additionally, she is the only model who was featured as 100 Beautiful Women along with her mother in the magazine's 1988 special issue. She has acted in the film Olly, Olly, Oxen Free (1978) and TV production Blond in Hollywood (2003).

Mansfield graduated from Fort Hunt High School in Alexandria, Virginia.[1]
Two weeks before her mother's death on June 29, 1967, Mansfield, then 16, accused her mother's then boyfriend, Sam Brody, of beating her.[2] Her statement to the Los Angeles Police Department the following morning implicated her mother in encouraging the abuse, and days later, a juvenile-court judge awarded temporary custody of Jayne Marie to a great-uncle, W.W. Pigue.[3] Out of Jayne's five children, only Jayne Marie attended her mother's funeral on July 3, 1967 due to the fact the other children were all under the age of 10. In 1968, wrongful death lawsuits were filed on behalf of Jayne Marie and Matt Cimber, Jayne's husband from September 24, 1964 to July 11, 1965 and producer-director of her last film Single Room Furnished, the former for $4.8 million and the latter for $2.7 million.[4]
In 1970, she married Barry Lang in Las Vegas, Nevada and the couple had one son but were later divorced. As of 2008, Mansfield is in a long-term relationship and frequently visits her grandchildren.[5][6] In March 1979, she declared her plan to write a biography of her mother.[7]
Playmate's daughter as a Playboy model[edit]
Mansfield is the first of Playboy nude models whose mothers were featured nude as well.[8][9][10][11] Her 7-page pictorial in the magazine's July 1976 issue, titled Jayne's Girl, was photographed by Dwight Hooker. Hooker made the pictorial in a vintage Southern context, including monochromatic images. The accompanying text makes a comparison to her mother and the differences between the two,[12] though Jayne Marie said in an interview that she is "not capitalizing on her bosom as (my) mother did" for the pictorial.[13][14] In describing her art historian Anthony W. Lee together with photographer Diane Arbus wrote, "Jayne Marie Mansfield has her mother's rounded features and mysterious eyes."[15]
An image of Mansfield from the pictorial appears in Shock Value: A Tasteful Book About Bad Taste by John Waters (Thunder's Mouth Press, 2005), which has a section dedicated to star daughters. The pictorial also appeared on the Playboy Newsstand Special titled Blonds Brunettes Redheads (also featured Claudia Ohana, Loretta Martin, Francoise Gayat and Shannon Tweed) in 1985,[16] and the September 1976 issue of A Revista do Homem, the Brazilian version of Playboy (also featuring Vera Manhães).[17]
Mansfield was featured in Playboy a second time in December of the same year, as one of the "sex stars of 1976". Photographed by Arthur Knight,[18] she was featured again in the April 1980 Playmate Reunion section of the magazine.[19][20] The issue also featured Cyndi Wood, Monique St. Pierre, Sondra Theodore, Carol Vitale, Dolly Read, and Candy Loving, as well as Hugh Hefner, the printer, editor and publisher of magazine.
Playmate daughters[edit]
The credit for the first Playmate of the Month whose mother was another Playmate of the Month goes to Simone Eden, from the February 1989 issue, whose mother, Carol Eden, was on the centerfold in December 1960.[8][9][10][11] The credit for the first daughters to appear together with the mother goes to Dawn and Shannon Davis who appeared in the August 1993 issue with their mother, Tamara Davis. That Arny Freytag pictorial was titled Like Mother, Like Daughters after the title for a 1968 movie featuring Playmate Victoria Valentino.[8][9][10][11][21] Of the featured daughters, only Mansfield was included in the 1988 Playboy 100 Beautiful Women Newsstand Special magazine, along with a picture from Hooker pictorial. The issue also featured her mother.[22]
- Olly, Olly, Oxen Free[23] (1978): An independent film directed by Richard A. Colla that featured Katharine Hepburn and Kevin McKenzie in the lead. She was uncredited in cast list.[24]
- Blond in Hollywood (season three): (TV production, 1 episode, February 2003): Third season of a documentary series on Hollywood sex symbols that also featured Matt Climber and Miklós Hargitay, two of Jayne's husbands as themselves.[25]
- Jayne Mansfield: Loves and Kisses: Featured as an interview in the A&E documentary hosted by Peter Graves aired in 2006.

After hosting a Forrester webinar on April 25 about "3 Ways To Turn Content Marketing into Thought Leadership", I received some interesting questions from clients. I thought I would share the questions -- and a short response to each – since this line of inquiry points to broader question about the role of public relations (PR) in content marketing generally and thought leadership marketing specifically.
Here's the Q&A I found intriguing:
Who should lead the IDEA framework process?

text: Everything on my home network was working perfectly. Two days ago, I upgraded the Fios router from wireless G to wireless N). When I had the older wireless G router, I used a Dlink, with wireless N, too run my wireless network. Now, I'm only using the wireless N Fios router. Everything works fine with each device in my home, except my two wireless TiVo Series 3's cannot seem to find my hardwired TiVo Premiere XL. I can see the two wireless Series 3's from the hardwired Premiere XL. Is there some setting on my router I should change? I've rebooted all the machines and nothing seems to help. Any suggestions? I guess I could go back to using the DLink, but this shouldn't be an issue. I'd prefer to use just one router anyway. Thanks in advance!

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is working on information security guidelines designed to aid the development of IT security specifications, best practices, and security legislation. FTC Commissioner Orson Swindle, who leads the U.S. segment of the OECD initiative, says the group is trying to relay the message that "security is important, that we're all players whether want to be or not...and what we do has the capacity to hurt ourselves but even more important, [to] hurt other people." The group aims to update principles first issued in 1992 so that they reflect the changes IT has undergone since then, as well as new priorities brought to the fore as a result of the Sept. 11 attacks. The OECD guidelines include an "awareness principle" that urges IT owners and users to understand security, and an "ethics principle" calling for IT management that keeps the rights and interests of others in mind. Oracle's Joseph H. Alhadeff says that these core principles must be considered if an underlying architecture for best practices is to be established. Even if the OECD's effort does not have an effect, other companies are being pressured to focus on security. Last year, Visa issued security guidelines about the storage, encryption, and access of credit card information to merchants, requiring them to have their online security systems verified by a third party or risk fines or lost business. The American Bar Association's Information Security Committee Co-Chairwoman Kimberly Kiefer also warns that companies whose customer data is
compromised by IT security vulnerabilities could face litigation.

On Friday, Los Alamos National Laboratory debuted a supercomputer that uses hundreds of server blades that allow it to be more compact, energy-efficient, and cost effective than most machines of its ilk, according to Wu-chun Feng of Los Alamos' Research And Development In Advanced Network Technology (RADIANT) group. He adds that the system has fewer maintenance needs. The 240 server blades, supplied by RLX Technologies, feature low-power Crusoe chips from Transmeta and run a version of the Linux operating system. The presence of the blades means less CPU performance and internal bandwidth between components, but Feng notes that research is only just beginning. He believes that a new system of supercomputer performance measurement is necessary, one that takes maintenance needs, size, cost, and downtime into account as well as data processing rates. Because the Crusoe chips do not need to be cooled, the supercomputer is housed in a dusty warehouse that often gets as hot as 80 degrees. Among those who attended the system's unveiling was Linux creator Linus Torvalds and Microsoft researcher Gordon Bell, one of the minicomputer's original pioneers.
The popular view of nanotechnology envisions tiny machines performing amazing operations, such as molecule-sized robots that can clear blocked arteries, but Forbes/Wolfe Nanotech Report author Josh Wolfe says the most likely real-world nanotech applications--at least for the near future--will involve enhancements to larger devices or objects. He notes that nanotech products currently hitting the market include materials and coatings that make items more robust and friction-resistant, as well as dirt-proof. Wolfe acknowledged that the foundation for far-off breakthroughs such as quantum computers will probably be set by carbon nanotubes and Fullerenes, but producing such materials in high volume has been a slow process. For instance, just five pounds of nanotubes was produced last year at a cost of millions of dollars. Addressing attendees at the Spring TechViews conference on Monday, Wolfe compared the nanotech hype to that of the Internet in the early 1990s, adding that starting up a nanotech enterprise requires a lot more technical skill as well as capital. Nevertheless, experts such as Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Paul Burrows are confident that the time will come when intelligence is infused into nanoparticles, and such breakthroughs will be possible through a basic understanding of nanomaterials. Burrows believes the government should make a long-term commitment to nanotech so that the country maintains its position on the cutting edge of technology.
Speakers at the NanoBusiness Spring 2002 conference such as inventor Ray Kurzweil said the inevitable advance of nanotechnology will make it pervasive within society by the 2020s. He predicted that the first pervasive nanotech applications should appear in computing devices by 2010, and be able to infuse computing power into everyday items such as apparel and building materials. Kurzweil also forecast that nanotech will lead to the development of 3D chips that will be able to power artificial intelligence by 2030, while human senses will be enhanced by nanoscale robots that can penetrate the brain and supplant sensory input with virtual reality constructs. He contended that a century of progress could be squeezed into 25 calendar years with such innovations. Kurzweil told investors at the conference that boom-and-bust cycles could be avoided as long as they have faith in the technology's momentum, although NanoBusiness Alliance Chairman and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said that may not happen, given that the market bubble pattern has not changed in four centuries. He likened the present developmental stage of nanotech to that of computing in the early 1950s--only there is plenty of venture capital to fund nanotech efforts. "You're going to see a surprisingly rapid transition [to society], partially because at its core, nano is still science- and technology-centered," Gingrich predicted.
With the help of a $10 million grant from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's SpinS program, scientists from the University of Buffalo (UB) have created new semiconducting materials that function at room temperature and could lead to the development of spintronic devices. Spintronics technology, which exploits electron spins for computing, could enable electronic devices to process millions, perhaps billions, of data bits simultaneously. Furthermore, UB physics professor Bruce McCombe says that "Spintronic materials would enable the storage and processing of data on the same material, a kind of computer on a chip." The UB researchers focused on gallium antimonide manganese, which McCombe says could yield basic spintronic device components that operate at room temperature in about a year. He adds that consumer and industrial spintronics devices will not emerge for at least three to five years. UB physics professor Hong Luo says the first spintronic devices likely to be developed include transistors, valves, and light emitting diodes. The semiconductors developed by the UB team exhibit hysteresis at room temperature; hysteresis is a ferromagnetic property whereby a lasting magnetic effect remains after the removal of an applied magnetic field. McCombe says the UB research could, with a little luck, pave the way for semiconductor magnetic RAM that functions at room temperature with active logic devices, all of which could be contained on an individual chip.
There has been a mad dash in the last week to pass or debate Internet regulation proposals before Congress adjourns for Memorial Day. Four Internet bills were approved by the Senate Commerce Committee in two days, including Sen. Fritz Hollings' (D-S.C.) Online Personal Privacy Act, which sets strict requirements on how Web sites may exploit their users' personally identifiable data; Sen. Conrad Burns' (R-Mont.) CAN SPAM act, which bans unsolicited commercial email that posts false or misleading information in its headers; and two bills from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) that call for the creation of a national emergency technology guard and security technology standards for federal agencies. There is considerable opposition to these bills--the Computer and Communications Industry Association believes Hollings' proposal will have an adverse effect on the Internet, while the Business Software Alliance says Wyden's security bill would stifle "federal and industry efforts to quickly deploy appropriate technologies and respond to emerging security threats." More recently, the House of Representatives voted 406 to 2 in favor of the creation of a dot-kids.us domain, while hearings on Wednesday will debate broadband legislation and the whois database's accuracy and integrity. Cramming all this legislation into a short amount of time can lead to bills being rushed through without being considered in detail. Privacilla.org editor Jim Harper warns that "It bodes poorly for freedom and liberty as well as economic well-being."
CEA researchers in France have built an electronic element that could form the basic building block of quantum processors. The Quantronium, as it is called, is a circuit composed of an aluminum loop that represents a qubit (quantum bit). It demonstrates more flexibility and better circuit integration than qubit components being developed by other research labs. The processors yielded from qubits could boost chip speed thousands of times, thanks to properties such as the superpositioning of 0 and 1. Despite breakthroughs such as the Quantronium, the development of quantum processors is still a long way off. Alain Rodermann of Sofinnova Partners predicts that a working quantum processor will not become a reality for at least 10 years. He says there will be a gradual evolution from traditional electronics "to micro-electronics and maybe later, to nanoelectronics." He says that quantum research such as CEA's will have to be funded by the state for now, because the payoffs of such research are a long time coming--longer that venture capitalists can afford.
Internet technology has exacerbated the tension over the rights to raw data. Intellectual property advocates and database compilers say they have no protection against those that would copy wholesale their information on the Internet, and thus, no incentive to improve or create new databases. Currently, two competing bills that would increasing raw data protection are on the table in Congress and being hashed out by two different committees within the House of Representatives, although a consensus bill is not expected this year. And, despite a landmark Supreme Court case in 1991 establishing the inherent openness of public databases, several more recent court rulings have gone the other way. EBay, for example, won a case against the now-defunct Bidder's Edge Internet search bot service that trolled online auctions for specific products. And an appellate court case is expected to launch soon regarding the right of a Web hosting site to extract data from Register.com's Whois database to use for marketing purposes. Advocates of the public domain say fencing off publicly available data will stifle scientific progress and hamper innovation in the marketplace.
India's PC sales will continue to lag behind those of China, despite forecasts of an upturn by Skoch Consultancy Services. The firm estimates that the economic slowdown and the dampening of IT career ambitions caused Indian PC sales to dip 6.3 percent by value and 7.0 percent by volume in calendar 2001, to total almost 1.6 million units sold. Nevertheless, the consultancy believes almost 2 million PCs could be sold next year, placing India ahead of the 3.2 percent global growth rate anticipated by International Data (IDC). However, high taxes have had a stifling effect on PC penetration in India: Skoch reckons that only 7.5 million PCs are in use throughout the country, while a mere 6.59 million households in India's 16 largest metropolitan regions have the means to purchase a computer, which currently costs about 43,000 to 45,000 rupees, says Skoch's Sameer Kochhar. Kochhar says, "India will have a grassroots IT revolution when PCs are available for 15,000 rupees." China and other nations with plans to develop IT-enabled services have a higher PC penetration rate in comparison to India.
Internet Business Systems in Melbourne, Australia, reports a dramatic dearth of IT skills among job candidates--only two out of 100 can pass a simple evaluation of core programming principles and methods. "When we ask them a question about developing software--in a generic sense, independent of platform or language--whether it is better to do something this way or that way, they get it wrong," says CEO David Brykman. This is despite university education and years of experience, he notes. Brykman recalls that a precipitous surge in demand led to a flood of fresh programmers into IT, dot-com, and technology firms, but that demand has wound down, leaving huge numbers of inadequately trained candidates to fight over a few available openings. As software packages, solutions, and boxed products have spread, more businesses have built up their IT operations, but Brykman reports that quality has dipped dramatically. "It's a case of too many oysters, not enough pearls," he laments. Trends such as these could be indicative of a worrying shortfall in skills across the country, Brykman contends.

The Chinese market is ripe with opportunities for Indian IT companies, and a delegation's recent visit to China may help allay security fears that have stood in the way of Indian/Chinese collaboration. China's IT effort focuses on hardware, whereas India's chief IT strength is software; China's software firms lag behind India's by three years. India's National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom) has formulated a strategy that takes advantage of these trends to improve productivity, partnerships, innovation, academic collaboration, and skills. It is estimated that the Chinese IT services market will grow from $900 million at an annual rate of 50 percent to 2005, while software exports should total approximately $1.5 billion by 2005. India's software exports are expected to surpass $8 billion in the year to March 2002. Among those pressuring India to penetrate the Chinese market are Fortune 500 clients, while the U.S. slowdown has also made Indian firms eager to exploit new markets. So far only two Chinese companies have penetrated India.
New eyeglass computer displays promise to change the way people work and interact with one another. MicroOptical has been working on such products since 1995 with help from government grants and already has several products on the market. The integrated or clip-on displays help users keep focused on one thing while accessing information from their mobile phone, PDA, or laptop computer. A small screen appears in the left lens, or can be integrated in both lenses for an effect similar to bifocal glasses. MicroOptical envisions the units boosting the productivity and safety of technicians, utility repairmen, doctors, and many other users. At the recent Society for Information Displays conference, MicroOptical showcased a prototype meant for divers, allowing them to view vital information such as oxygen levels and water depth, delivered to their goggles via a wireless Bluetooth connection. The company's government work includes displays for military police that would allow MPs to check a person's facial biometrics against those stored in a remote database for security clearance.

University of Buffalo computer science professor Venu Govindaraju is pioneering a new type of biometrics based on a person's natural characteristics as they would be described by another person. The aim is to get computers to recognize people using general terms instead of by reading definitive markers such as someone's iris or fingerprint. Through his research, computer systems equipped with video would be able to read specific commands in a person's facial expressions, for example, or disallow a child to visit pornographic Web sites while at a library. Although a natural interface that identifies people automatically has great potential as a technology, it also requires a lot of work to negotiate privacy issues. Govindaraju's previous work includes the cursive handwriting recognition technology used by the U.S. Postal Service, and he is currently involved in creating interactive digital archives through a National Science Foundation grant.

Researcher and consultant David Reed argues that radio spectrum needs to be viewed as a virtually unlimited rather than finite resource, which runs contrary to general wisdom and questions the mission of the FCC. Speaking at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference last week, Reed contended that the regulations the FCC imposes do not reflect physical reality. He said that radio waves, being transparent, do not affect each other, and that it is mainly the equipment that gives rise to interference. Reed also said the addition of wireless devices to networks actually increases capacity, while the FCC operates as if that capacity is limited. This capacity multiplier effect can be achieved through software and devices with powerful but generalized hardware elements. If Reed is right in his argument, then the potential for future communications is enormous: This is good news for free speech and innovation, but bad news to phone companies that rely on an economic scheme that would be nullified by Reed's theory. Reed wants the FCC to open up spectrum for a new public space, which he says would be put to much better and more efficient use than if it were granted to "monopoly owners." Reed aired his views to the FCC's Technological Advisory Council in April.

Researchers at MIT's Auto-ID Center are developing the next generation in consumer product identification that will allow computers to "see." Their work, radio ID tags, perform the same function as bar codes, but can be read automatically within five feet and contain more data. And using a wireless reader, hundreds of tags can be read simultaneously. Currently, the technology costs about 50 cents per tag and is used in the airline industry for tracking baggage, but supermarkets could use the tags to alert staff when supplies run out or products expire. The Auto-ID Center is working on mass production techniques that would reduce the cost per chip to less than five cents, the point at which experts say mass electronic product identification would become economically feasible. By leaving only a reference number that points to data stored on the Internet, production costs are lessened, says Auto-ID Center executive director Kevin Ashton. He predicts that electronic product identification data will constitute the majority of Internet traffic by the end of the decade. Privacy advocates worry that industries such as insurance would be able to cull personal data from the wealth of electronic product identification data, but Ashton says information stored on the Internet could be sufficiently protected.
Lawrence Brandt of the National Science Foundation's Digital Government project is looking for emerging technology that can help government do its job better. Notably, Brandt was the person with the NSF that identified and secured funding for the pre-Netscape Mosaic networking technology that popularized the Internet because he saw its potential to benefit government services. Today, he says there are specific hurdles to developing and applying technology to government, especially in getting agencies to share information. For one, there is a problem with negotiating privacy and security commitments while making data more accessible for developers and researchers. The NSF's Citizen Access projects are developing mathematical algorithms to help agencies customize data-sharing applications that will provide both insight into the real situation while protecting privacy. Brandt says other projects, such as the local law enforcement Coplink program, maintain a careful balance between protecting against Big Brother scenarios and enabling legitimate information sharing. In general, Brandt blames the government's reluctance to embrace high tech on a vague bottom line concept and its tendency to avoid risk.

Bulgarian programmers are mixing fast service with cheap labor, a combination that has proven very lucrative for firms such as iConcepts, which operates in Philadelphia. "You could put together a team of [Bulgarian] programmers there for what you might pay for one or two [programmers in the U.S.]," declares Hi-Tech Parts President Kristal Snider. Hi-Tech selected iConcepts to rebuild its Web site because its Bulgarian team could accomplish this task in three months, according to Snider. The three other consulting firms Hi-Tech considered would have taken six months or longer to do the job, and would have charged much more. Both Sept. 11 and the IT spending downturn have spurred a drop-off in offshore programming costs this year. Global Outsourcing executive director Marty McCaffrey notes that the "blended rates" for programming, management, and software testing teams based in India has fallen from $30 an hour last year to about $20 to $25 an hour this year. However, he believes overseas programming companies in Israel, the Philippines, India, and elsewhere should enjoy higher labor rates as the economy recovers and demand for their services increases.

Deb Roy of MIT's Cognitive Machines Group is designing machines capable of speech and comprehending natural spoken language. Such machines would discover the meaning of words by interacting with their surrounding environment. "If you want to create a robot that uses language as humans do, I see no way but to endow it with the same sorts of sensory-motor grounding and goal-pursuit processes that we ourselves possess," Roy argues. He says that cognitive machines will require sensors and actuators to connect to the physical world, as well as "drives, goals, desires and self-reflective mechanisms." Roy and his team are working on a number of technologies, including robots that can attribute meaning to visually grounded words and understand fairly intricate grammar by show-and-tell; and a manipulator that has been imbued with stereo color vision, proprioceptive sensors, senses of gravity and touch, and the ability to play with verb definitions. Another robot has been able to learn from observing how mothers address infants. "It demonstrates the ability of the algorithms we've developed to segment speech, and to link words to visual categories given the sort of data that an infant would see and hear," Roy explains. He believes that the speech technologies his group is working on could one day help people who are illiterate or visually impaired access textual data.
A collective of over 190 American universities, along with federal agencies and industry collaborators, are working on Internet2--an Internet upgrade designed to primarily serve the science and education community. Internet2 applications director Ted Hanss says the project was started as an effort to return to the original purpose of the Internet's founders--to enable scientists to practice real-time collaboration. "This will allow you to have access to just about any equipment and collaborators...it doesn't matter if they are here or in China," proclaims John C. Huffman of Indiana University's Molecular Structure Center. Internet2 is threaded over two fiber-optic backbone networks, Abilene and vBNS+, which are distributed across 30 high-capacity network nodes. Applications of Internet2 include the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Office of the Future project, a tele-immersion system that mixes wall screens, stereo goggles, real-time 3D extraction models, and other technologies to offer a mode of communication superior to traditional videoconferencing. Other projects include the University of Illinois at Chicago's CAVE Automatic Virtual Learning Environment, which enables goggle-wearing users to navigate through visual images projected on all surfaces; the nanoManipulator, an instrument that allows users to "feel" and control nanoscale structures via a haptic interface; the Gemini Observatory, an array of international telescopes and research centers connected by Internet2; and Project DataSpace, a database
integration effort.

France's constitutional council, one of the country's top courts, today rejected a challenge to a law banning hydraulic fracturing for the exploration and production of shale gas and oil.
