Executive Order Thirteen (1998) authorizes the State Employee Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Hotline, which provides State employees the opportunity to report possible instances of fraud, waste, or abuse to an independent investigating agency. The Office of the State Inspector General (OSIG) is responsible for the administration of the Hotline. Cases are referred to individual State Agency Internal Audit Directors for investigation and reporting to the OSIG, and to agency senior management.
All investigations are handled confidentially and all working papers and reports are marked "CONFIDENTIAL STATE EMPLOYEE HOTLINE DOCUMENTS." Reports for substantiated cases are accessible through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and can be released only by the OSIG (1-800-723-1615). All reports and work papers are kept in a locked cabinet and are not accessible except by authorization of the Internal Audit Director.

The board of directors of Senior Citizens of Marion County met Aug. 17 in Marion.
Marion County Sheriff Robert Craft spoke to the board about seniors being the target of scams.
Marion County Department On Aging coordinator Gayla Ratzlaff spoke about the Senior Fair and asked if the board wanted to pay the $17 registration for members attending. The board approved the expenditure. Ratzlaff reported 14 veterans had been nominated to be honored at the annual meeting. Ratzlaff spoke about U.S. Representative Paul Ryan's proposal for Medicare if the Republican Party wins the presidential election in November. She said the $500 billion proposed cut to Medicare would not affect seniors' present benefits but are health care provider payment cuts.
Central Home Care Administrator Robert Carlton said that $50 billion was spent in the past two months. He reported the cut to health care providers from the Affordable Care Act is making it harder to provide services to clients. He said the new law would cause hospitals to lose money if someone is readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of dismissal. The average re-admission rate is 12 to 25 percent and the new law requires hospitals to reduce that figure to 7 percent re-admissions, Carlton said.
Senior Center Committee Chairman Joyce Kyle gave individual reports from each senior center.
- Durham canceled its regularly scheduled meeting due to Marion County Fair opening that night. Florence was still on summer vacation.
- Goessel's Meals on Wheels program has enough volunteers and the woman's tea group meets once a week.
- Hillsboro had an ice cream social Aug. 25 with entertainment form Bob Delk and The Boys. Senior center cook Janis Wright taught a needle weave class. Greenhaw wellness personnel came and checked blood pressure.
- Lincolnville hosted an accordion recital by Maxine Barton. Seven of the members went out to eat and played dominoes afterward.
- Marion had author Christy Lackey share her book "Stress Less and Soar More." Dr. K. Anne Phyfer, new physician at St. Luke Clinic spoke. The center has been working on table decorations to go to the Senior Fair. Information and picture of Wilma Gilmer was sent to NC-FH, AAA this week.
- Peabody had Barb from Schowalter Villa come demonstrate the strength program they do at the nursing home and Hesston Recreation. The Peabody Center sold chances to win a Kindle Reader. Peabody received new kitchen counters, and there is a plan to paint the kitchen.
- Tampa had Richard Dirks come and play his harmonica and share some humor at their meeting.
- Burns had Ratzlaff speak on long term care.
AOK Volunteer Virginia Downing led exercise and she talked about the new KanCare Program (formerly Medicaid) which begins in January. There will be three managed care plans running the program. They are: Amerigroup, United Health, and Sunflower. They will be offering preventative dental care for adults. Individuals will be assigned to a program and receive a card from one of these plans.
Nominating bylaws committee chairman Shirley Bowers reported that Lila Unruh, District 1, Marlene Anduss, District 2, and Joyce Kyle, District 3 have agreed to serve a second term on the board. She needs nominee suggestion to fill Evelyn Sidener's position in District 3 starting in January.
AAA board member Jerry Kline reported he did a senior center assessment in Allen County.
AAA board member Barbara Smith reported she will be assessing Olpe and Neosha Rapids senior centers. She will be attending the SHICK update in Wichita Aug. 23. She reported that 66 percent of admission to hospitals are due to not taking medications as prescribed. The move is toward more preventative and wellness classes.
AAA Field Representative Coral Wright distributed the agency's information sheet for August 2012. A meeting for cooks was held Aug. 30 to teach them how to order online since the agency switched to U.S. Foods.
SHL representative Tom Duggan reported he will be attending the SHL meeting in Topeka the first of October. This meeting will decide what issue to present to state legislature.

Stop wasting your breath on these ignorant little trolls bro. They just arent worth it.
**** that guy, then. That's out of bounds.
I'd love to visit someday. I really want to see Rome most of all, but I want to visit the whole of Europe. Maybe the new career will afford me that opportunity.
Maybe there are legitimate genetic differences as well?
I moved it to the what's for dinner thread. That is interesting, so they're like in between a Cornish hen and chicken in Europe?
That's what you read into my comments anyway, but that's on you not me. Unbunch the panties. Like I've said before dueces man... I'm done having this conversation with you. You continue to flip out further it'll be one-sided. This whole thing has been overblown start to finish by you all for me telling you to lighten up over a joke...
The fact that you've blown it up this far shows just how tightly wound you are. Find a relaxing hobby or something and let it go man. It's a football discussion on a forum for christ sake man.
It's hilarious to me that you are resorting to personal attacks, calling me an idiot, because I don't want to back down and apologize to you. whatever man, dueces.
And I'm the one out of line in this conversation... I'm not making it personal Tned.
Sure he was wrong to make the comments he did earlier in the thread, I'll side with you there, but I guess I don't think yelling at him 20 pages later is an effective means of solving a dispute.
Party Like it's 97/98

NASCAR & Auto Racing
Dale Earnhardt Jr. aiming for another win at Michigan
After finishing third in last Sunday's race at Pocono Raceway, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is hoping his momentum continues this weekend at Michigan International Speedway.
Michigan has perhaps been Earnhardt's best racetrack since he joined Hendrick Motorsports for the start of the 2008 season. In fact, it's the only track on the Sprint Cup Series schedule where he's won a race in the past seven years. Earnhardt picked up his first victory with Hendrick in the June '08 event at Michigan, but it took him 144 races to get back into victory lane when he won here one year ago.
Richmond is the last track other than Michigan where Earnhardt has won. He claimed the victory there in the spring of 2006.
Earnhardt's latest winless streak now stands at 33 races. He started this season by finishing seventh or better, including second-place runs at Daytona and California, in the first five races. But it's been a bit of roller-coaster ride for him since then. Earnhardt finished a season-worst 39th in last month's race at Charlotte after suffering engine failure in the late going.
"We are going (to Michigan) with a lot more confidence, because we ran well there last year," Earnhardt said. "I looked through the notes from last year, and we didn't unload perfect. We had to work to get it right. You don't go in with confidence that you are going to go there, and it will be perfect. You have the confidence to know that we will get it dialed in."
When the series competed at Michigan in June 2012, it was the first time on the track's new pavement. The repaving began after the August 2011 race and concluded in November, giving the asphalt enough time to settle and cure during the winter months. The new surface on this 2-mile track produced record speeds. Marcos Ambrose won the pole at Michigan one year ago when he easily shattered the track qualifying record with a lap at 203.241 mph. Forty drivers in that qualifying session posted a faster speed than the previous track record of 194.232 mph, set by Ryan Newman in 2005. Nineteen drivers topped 200 mph.
However, teams were faced with a huge tire issue in the days leading up to the race. Several teams experienced tire blistering during Friday's practice session as well as on the extra day of practice on Thursday. NASCAR and Goodyear made the decision to use a tougher left-side tire for the race. The higher than expected speeds at Michigan caused significantly higher left-side tire temperatures and therefore blistering.
An additional practice was held the day before the race. Teams had 75 minutes to familiarize themselves with the new tires and make further adjustments to their race setups. Earnhardt Jr. was one of those drivers who was limited on his practice time due to engine concerns. He complained that his car wasn't as good as he wanted it to be after completing just 26 laps in the last practice.
But Earnhardt put on a dominating performance in the 400-mile event. He led a total of 95 laps and crossed the finish line ahead of his closest competitor, Tony Stewart, by more than 5 seconds for his 19th career Sprint Cup victory.
Right now, Earnhardt sits fourth in the point standings. He moved up two positions after his top-five run at Pocono.
"We have been carrying momentum for a good solid year now," he said. "We are alright, and we know what we need to do."
Earnhardt trails leader and Hendrick teammate Jimmie Johnson by 82 points. Johnson claimed his third win of the season at Pocono, placing him in a tie with Matt Kenseth for most victories in the series this year.
Michigan is one of five tracks on the current Sprint Cup schedule where Johnson has yet to win. Chicagoland, Homestead, Kentucky and Watkins Glen are the others.
Last June at Michigan, Johnson nearly ran out of gas but managed to pull off a fifth-place finish. But that was followed by a 27th-place result in August due to engine failure just before the finish.
"The Michigan track surface has had summer and winter on it, and we'll see how much grip is just in the surface," Johnson said. "I would assume we'll go as fast as we did (last year) if not faster, and with the flatter track, I think the Gen-6 (new Sprint Cup race car) will outperform the Gen-5. The question really comes down to how much grip is still in the asphalt. I would assume it's going to be high.
"On fresh repaves, the grip is always at its highest. I'm not exactly sure how that will play out, but I'm happy that a summer and a winter have been on the track. It will make the racing wider for us, and that's what we're all hoping for. We've had weird things happen at Michigan, but one of these times it (a win) will happen for us. I hope it's this year."
Greg Biffle won the most recent Sprint Cup race at Michigan last August. Biffle is coming off a season-best second-place finish at Pocono. He is now 10th in points.
"I couldn't be happier coming off the run at Pocono going into Michigan," Biffle said. "We finished fourth the first race and got a win there last year at Michigan. We are working hard on our cars, trying to get them better, but we still have a little work to do.
"Michigan is one of my favorite tracks. It's a big fast place and has lots of room to race. We can get strung out a bit, but there is always something going on, someone is always catching someone else. There is always a lot of strategy going on. Fuel mileage and pit stops are very important. I've had a lot of success at Michigan in the past, and I think this will be a good weekend for us."
Forty-four teams are on the preliminary entry list for the Quicken Loans 400. A.J. Allmendinger and Bobby Labonte will switch rides for this race. Allmendinger is scheduled to drive the No. 47 JTG Daugherty Racing Toyota, while Labonte is slated for a ride in the No. 51 Phoenix Racing Chevrolet.

Art, music, literature, clothing, and games. The half-dozen items I've listed sew together a veritable haute couture of gaming culture. Surround the gamer in your life with 1500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets of gaming goodness.
Assassin's Creed Limited Edition Art Book - $24.99 - It's quite possible that the gamer on your Christmas list was one of the 1 million+ people that bought Assassin's Creed in its first week. That gamer may have even sprung for the official game guide. But the limited edition art book might've fallen by the wayside, which is a shame considering the bold realism and real-world historicity informing this gorgeous collection.
LoSt CaUzE Gaming Headphones - $149.99 - The absence of a microphone is a deal-breaker for online gamers; but if that isn't a factor, then these beauties will deliver piping hot vocals, sound effects, and soundtracks directly to your eardrum. It's a top performer in planes, trains, and automobiles, though it handles turbulent nights at home with equal aplomb.
Mass Effect: Revelation - $7.95 - This is the prequel novel to the game that will be on every single RPG awards list for 2007. Written by Drew Karpyshyn, Lead Writer for Mass Effect, this book is easy to digest (it's no sci-fi neo-classic, but give him a break) and uses a momentous series of events to tie together an encyclopedic universe of information from the game.
Games for Windows Magazine Subscription - $19.97, 12 issues/12 months - Stupid name, stellar magazine. No other print publication writes more intelligently on the topic of PC gaming (except perhaps the UK's fantastic Edge magazine -- but that annual subscription is a doozy). I even spend 90% of my game time on consoles now, versus PC, and I still can't part with my monthly GFW.
Aperture Laboratories Test Subject T-Shirt - $21.99 at CafePress.com - Arguably the best game of the year, Portal fans will donate themselves to science in order to get an Aperture Laboratories shirt. The only thing that might top this gift is to have Jonathan Coulton himself sing "Still Alive" at your next birthday party. With a piece of cake.
The Orange Box - (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) - $49.95 - Half Life 2. Team Fortress 2. Portal. Even if you have no clue what type of games your Secret Santa recipient likes, they'll enjoy something in the Orange Box, and it's likely they'll surprise themselves in the discovery.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - We used to have these talks, Frank and I, inside the Chicago White Sox clubhouse.
The subject was taboo back in the days, but Frank Thomas was never one to keep his peace.
He was among the first players to speak publicly about baseball's darkest, deepest secret: Steroids.
Thomas knew what was happening. He saw the massive bodies. He saw the bloated numbers. He saw the rich rewards.
And it sickened him.
Thomas, a huge man among baseball standards, 6-foot-5, 240 pounds, despised what he was seeing.
Here was a man with a body and strength that his peers would envy, but with injections and pills, his peers were able to stay in the weight room longer, growing stronger, and putting up historical numbers.,
They were cheating, of course, but Major League Baseball had no rules back then.
The only watchdog was your conscience.
If you could look yourself in the mirror, believe there was absolutely nothing wrong with gaining an unfair advantage, you were ahead of the game.
Man, did that ever frustrate Thomas, hoping others were paying attention.
"I wasn't THE voice against steroids,'' Thomas said Saturday afternoon. "But I had THE biggest voice.''
It was actually pretty easy to spot the steroid cheats back in the day. We would talk about names, exchange stories, and wish they'd be exposed, knowing that without proof, it was impossible to go public with names.
Baseball had a real problem, and it was being covered up, but no one really cared. No one listened. And Thomas went about his business, knowing he was the best natural right-handed power hitter in the game.
"I probably lost more than anybody else in that steroid era,'' says Thomas, a two-time MVP. "I could have had more MVPs, bigger contracts, things that I deserved.''
It's only fitting that Thomas is now the first slugger inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame Museum from the steroid era.
"That means a lot to me,'' Thomas says, "because this is the pinnacle, and it was all done by hard work and dedication. I can look at them in the face, and tell them I worked my ass off.''
There is no evidence to suggest anything different.
Yet, by staying clean, and ignoring any temptation of using performance-enhancing drugs, Thomas realizes his reputation was damaged.
"The first eight years, I couldn't be touched,'' Thomas told USA TODAY Sports. "There were crazy numbers I put up. When I came into the league, if you were hitting 30 homers and driving in 100, you were a great major-league baseball player. Not good. Not great. So I set my goal every year at 40 and 120.
"But overnight, everybody caught up.
"My 40 home runs, and my 120 RBI wasn't what it once was. Guys started ramping up 50 and 60 home runs. They were doing things that were crazy.
"So people started talking like my numbers were just average, and I took a lot of flak for that. They looked at me like, "What are you doing? You're not working out.
"That's the one thing I was pissed off about.''
Thomas is one of only four players to hit at least .300 with more than 500 homers, 1,500 RBI, 1,000 runs and 1,500 walks in baseball history, joining the likes of Babe Ruth, Ted Williams and Mel Ott. He once averaged 39 homers and 120 RBI from 1993-1998.
Yet, with a nation transfixed on Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, who staged the great home-run race in 1998, and Barry Bonds, who became baseball's all-time home run king, Thomas received all of the national attention of a utility infielder.
"Frank was the guy you didn't want to let beat you,'' says former manager Tony La Russa, who also is being inducted Sunday into the Hall of Fame. "He had power, average, a good strikezone, could hit to all fields. You couldn't defend him. You try shifting on Frank Thomas.
"Frank Thomas was that good.''
Thomas didn't provide any clues or hints on his acceptance speech, but it would be a bit surprising Sunday if steroids aren't at least addressed.
Thomas is the first 500-homer hitter to be inducted into the Hall of Fame since Eddie Murray in 2003, and could be the last until Ken Griffey Jr. is eligible in 2016.
Rafael Palmeiro, who hit 569 home runs, tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs his final season, and is already off the Hall of Fame ballot.
Sammy Sosa, who hit 609 home runs, is barely clinging onto the ballot, receiving just 7.2% of the vote last year. The same with Mark McGwire, and his 583 home runs, who admitted to steroid use.
Bonds, baseball's all-time home run leader, still waits, but hits chances of induction took a hit Saturday when the Baseball Hall of Fame announced it is reducing the number of years a player can remain eligible for induction to 10 years, instead of 15.
It leaves McGwire with just two remaining years on the ballot, while Bonds has eight years left.
"I definitely think he's [McGwire] a Hall of Famer,'' says La Russa, who managed him in Oakland and St. Louis. Ninety-five percent of Mark McGwire was legit.''
He has no shot.
McGwire's support is shrinking just like a whole lot of juiced bodies, and with just 11% of the vote this past election, it would be an impossible task to make such a dramatic leap in two years.
And Thomas is just fine with that.
"You get rewarded in life some times for doing things right,'' Thomas says. "I definitely did things the right way.''
Thomas, the man who went to Auburn on a football scholarship, but left the university as a baseball player, and Sunday will become the first player from the SEC inducted into the Hall of Fame.
"Before my time at Auburn,'' Thomas says, "there were all kinds of guys trying to use PEDs and anabolic steroids to play football in college.
"A lot of guys were caught, and by the time my class got there, they had video available, showing what steroids would do to your body, to your organs, what is going to be tolerated and what is not going to be tolerated.
"We were well aware. And back then, all I had was my scholarship. They basically told everyone to their face, if you're caught doing any of this, you will lose your scholarship. You will be kicked out of the university.
"That was all I needed to hear.''
And Sunday, we will celebrate Thomas' greatness, and his integrity, with an honest-to-goodness home-run hitter, doing it the right way.
"I really believe,'' he says, "that I deserve this.''
Thomas was wronged for so many years, never receiving all of the accolades he deserved, but Sunday, he'll be the one rewarded, while those who cheated will be forced to watch from home.
"I wanted to be great,'' Thomas says. "I wanted to be the player people talked about. I always thought, "Don't be afraid to dream great.'''
Thomas dreamed it.
And he certainly lived it.

Live at Kirby Plaza
- by James Hunt
- – on
- in Comics, Comic News
On Tuesday, 15th April, the London Institute of Contemporary Arts presented a one-off event entitled "Live at Kirby Plaza" in which some of the field's most prominent "Kirbyologists" discussed the life of work of one of, if not the finest, comic artist who ever lived - Jack Kirby. Even casual fans will undoubtedly know Kirby as Stan Lee's co-creator on a vast array of Marvel's most popular characters, as well as the creator of the DC-owned New Gods property. Despite a sell-out audience, I was lucky enough to sneak in at the last minute to report on this rare meeting of some of the biggest names in Kirby fandom.
As I was seated, the PA system was playing a lo-fi piece of garage rock later identified as the song "King Jack" by Bill Mumy's band "Seduction of the Innocent" - there are no prizes (that's no prizes, not "No-Prizes!") for guessing who the song is about. It's an immediate testament to Kirby's wide appeal that his work has inspired artists from all mediums - Paul McCartney famously recorded the song "Magneto and the Titanium Man" with his band Wings, and at one of their shows introduced an attendant Jack Kirby to the audience. When you've got the Beatles patting you on the back, you know you've made the right choices somewhere down the line.
Once the song had died down, we were introduced to a discussion panel composed of a mixture of Kirby scholars and enthusiasts - author Kim Newman, Broadcaster Paul Gambaccini; editor of Jack Kirby Quarterly, Chrissie Harper, and, appearing through the magic of teleconferencing, Kirbyologists Mark Evanier and John Morrow.
Moving immediately on, panel curator Paul Gravett narrated a fantastic overview of Kirby's life and career as compiled by Harper, with a slideshow displaying artwork and photos from all eras of Kirby's life, contrasting his artistic works with events in his personal life and the often rocky working relationships he experienced throughout his career. The undisputed highlight of this presentation came in the form of seldom-heard audio clips of Kirby himself discussing his career and influences, taken from an interview conducted in 1993, less than a year before his death.
While I'm a big fan of his Marvel work, I was largely unaware of much of Kirby's early comics - the work his partnership with Joe Simon produced, and what he did between co-creating Captain America and returning to the embryonic Marvel to draw the Fantastic Four. Those that remembered this work managed to sell me on it quite convincingly. I'm impressed at how quickly and prolifically Kirby, a man most would associate solely with superhero and science-fiction work, travelled through the industry leaving his mark on almost every major genre, from Western, to Horror, and even Romance. In fact, Romance is a genre he and Simon are credited with literally bringing to comics with the publication of their comic, "Young Romance".
The panel discussion that followed Gravett's overview covered a wide range of subjects, with anecdotes from all quarters about the man himself and each panelist's first encounters with his work. Gambaccini described how he came to buy Fantastic Four #1 and how, a few issues in, he was so upset by it that he wrote a less-than-complimentary letter which actually saw print in Fantastic Four #9 (Marvel Masterworks/Omnibus fans, go check your copies now!) Kim Newman explained how even in the days before readers cared about the credits, he and his friends would appreciate Kirby's dynamic artwork in their own way - by making fun of it in the playground, attempting to act out the poses Kirby had depicted.
Newman also related how, as a child, he was brought to the ICA (the same building we were currently in) to view Kirby's first ever UK-exhibited artwork, describing the horror his mother exhibited when she realised that some of the comics she had encouraged a young Newman to cut up and throw away were now worth as much as £5! Hearing this, Gambaccini also noted how vividly he remembers being enticed by Kirby's cover to "Amazing Fantasy #15" (even though he was sceptical of the recent name change) and how when he related the same story to Jonothan Ross, his first question was "Yes, but how many did you leave on the shelf?" (The answer to which is "Two!")
Mark Evanier, in-between demonstrations of Kirby-trivia that would probably amaze Kirby's own relatives, then discussed his recently-published illustrated biography, entitled "Kirby: King of Comics" - a large-format hardcover that reprints some of Kirby's lesser-seen work in impressive detail, the publication of which was the inspiration for the ICA event itself. John Morrows also described the content of the 50th issue of his magazine, "the Jack Kirby Collector". The issue is titled "Kirby Five-Oh!" and features an unmissable Kirby-pencilled Superman on the cover. Morrows explained that the magazine contains a series of Kirby "Top 50s" - top 50 covers, top 50 issues, top 50 unused pieces - and will also have a limited run of 500 hardback editions which, he hopes, will be available at the NYCC this week.
Of course, no panel of this sort is complete without the odd bit of news worth repeating. In addition to some discussion on the Kirby Museum, suggesting that while it's currently online-only, it may become a bricks-and-mortar establishment in the future, Evanier confirmed that DC is planning to reprint all of Kirby's DC work where possible. He even suggested that earlier, pre-Marvel Kirby series such as "The Boy Commandos" were in the running for collection from other publishers.
Speaking on cassette, Kirby himself related a story about turning down an illustration job for NASA's space program because they wouldn't allow him to go into space as payment. For those interested in hearing that in full, Harper also confirmed that her magazine, Jack Kirby Quarterly, will return for one special issue that will feature a comprehensive transcript of the interview in question.
Once the panel wound down, we were invited to move into an adjacent room to inspect some of the original Kirby artwork on display (from Jonothan Ross' personal collection), including pages from Fantastic Four #48 where Black Bolt is first shown speaking. Ross, of course, is probably the UK's biggest celebrity comics fan and a good friend of Neil Gaiman - American readers may remember him from his recent BBC-produced documentary "In Search of Steve Ditko." It was a rare chance to have a good long look at some Kirby originals and to stand next to genuine slice of comicbook history - that alone was worth the price of entry.
All in all, the ICA should be commended for hosting such an event. With a high level of professionalism and unparalleled insight from the panelists, it was a discussion that would've been worthy of even the largest comics convention or art festival, so it was doubly special to experience it in far closer quarters. As Gambaccini noted, almost all of today's comics readers didn't experience the Silver Age as it happened, and there's tremendous value in the anecdotes that could be told about that period alone - I could've listened for hours!
Kirby's legacy and talent can never be overstated, and even the most hardened Kirby-enthusiast would have found something new to them at this talk. For those like me, less familiar with earlier aspects of his career, it was a fine introduction to that world, and a perfect advert for both Evanier's book, "Kirby: King of Comics" and Morrow's "Kirby Five-Oh!" which cover similar ground as the discussion - I went in a casual fan, and came out an undisputed Kirbyphile.

Was Brittany Murphy poisoned?
A toxicology report may show she died with high levels of metals found in rat poison
New evidence suggests that it's possible Brittany Murphy was poisoned.
When Murphy died in 2009 at the age of 32, the tragedy rocked Hollywood. The actress known for her roles in Clueless and 8 Mile collapsed in her home after days of experiencing flulike symptoms. The Los Angeles County Coroner's office concluded Murphy's death was accidental, but preventable. Five months after her death, Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, was also found dead.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Angelo Bertolotti, who claims to be the star's biological father, filed a suit against the coroner's office to do more toxicology testing. Though the lawsuit was dismissed, Bertolotti sent the late actress' hair, blood and tissue samples for testing at the Carlson Company in Colorado, reports The Huffington Post.
Bertolotti sent an e-mail to The Huffington Post Monday, saying, "Ten heavy metals were found in abnormally high quantities... These types of heavy metals/toxic elements are commonly found in rat poison, pesticides, insecticides, etc... they may have been introduced by a third party with criminal intent."
However, those reports haven not been confirmed by the L.A. Coroner. Chief Coroner Investigator Craig R. Harvey told The Huffington Post, "We have not been presented any [third] party lab test results for analysis, so we are unable to comment on publicized reports on private lab tests."

News editor
A single case of scarlet fever was confirmed last week at Peabody-Burns Elementary School.
Principal Ken Parry said the case was in preschool. The school sent a note home with students, notifying parents that the illness had been confirmed. He said there had been no additional reports of scarlet fever.
"I think it's been isolated," Parry said.
Scarlet fever — also known as scarlatina — is a bacterial infection caused by group A strep bacteria. It affects a small portion of people with strep throat or strep skin infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It is treatable with antibiotics and usually is a mild illness, but it needs to be treated to prevent rare but potentially life-threatening complications, the CDC says. It most commonly affects children ages 5 to 12. The classic symptom is not the fever, but a certain type of red rash that feels rough, like sandpaper.
Other symptoms include:
- A very red, sore throat.
- A fever of 101 degrees or higher.
- Bright red skin in the underarm, elbow, and groin creases.
- A whitish coating on the tongue or back of the throat.
- A red and bumpy tongue.
- Headache.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Swollen glands.
- Body aches.
Group A strep bacteria are spread through contact with droplets from an infected person's cough or sneeze. The best way to prevent infection is to wash your hands often and avoid sharing eating utensils, linens, towels, or other personal items, the CDC says.

Ford Research and the University of Michigan Find Agion® Antimicrobial Significantly Effective in Inhibiting Microbe Growth on Interior Auto Surfaces
Wakefield, MASS., December 4,2012 -Researchers at FordMotor Company, a global automotive industry leader, partnered with the University of Michigan to evaluate the concentration and growth of microbes in vehicles in order to identify possible ways to combat the undesirable effects on vehicle surfaces. During the study, Ford researchers chose Agion® branded antimicrobial by Sciessent as an additive to treat the most contaminated surfaces. Results showed that Agion antimicrobial was effective in inhibiting microbial growth with long lasting performance.
The collaborative testing conducted by engineers from the Ford Research and Innovation Center in Dearborn, and a team from the University of Michigan (U-M) led by microbial ecologist Dr. Blaise Boles, revealed the following findings:
- Operating in various conditions, cars and trucks can become a breeding ground for a variety of microorganisms that cause odors and discoloration of a vehicle's interior surfaces. These microscopic organisms including mold and mildew can quickly grow and spread over a variety of surfaces leading to a spread of bacteria, discoloration, and even unpleasant odors.
- The microbial hot spots of a vehicle's interior includes the much touched steering wheel, and the console area, a common location for spilled drinks that provide an ideal feeding ground for microbes.
- When added to surface paints used throughout the interior, Agion antimicrobial significantly inhibited microbe growth.
- Agion antimicrobial proved long lasting even after simulating many years of use. Agion also had little impact on the gloss and color change of the surfaces over the test period.
Agion branded antimicrobial technology is based on elemental ions and makes products cleaner and longer lasting by providing built-in protection against damaging microbes. Unlike sprays that are useful short term, Agion's antimicrobial solution provides continuous surface protection against microbes for the useful life of the product. This is especially significant in light of recent findings that show Americans spend more than $1 billion annually on a variety of products including lotions, wipes and sprays to fight microbial growth, and approximately $2.3 billion annually on air fresheners. (Mintel Market Research Firm).
"We are thrilled to partner with the esteemed researchers at Ford and the University of Michigan," said Paul Ford, CEO of Sciessent. "The results of this study underscore Sciessent's mission to innovate technologies that improve cleanliness. We are proud that our Agion antimicrobial is undergoing real-world testing in a number of Ford development vehicles, and being evaluated for potential use in future Ford vehicle programs."

Hi Team,
Finally I am PMI-ACP certified yesterday. Thanks to team iZenBridge....
I got enrolled to the Online Tutorial from iZenBridge on 6th Feb. I used to dedicate almost 3 hrs each day .. (not continuous though) to the studies ....
Before I describe my journey ..I would like to appreciate the Online tutorial given by iZenBridge...Each topic was handled in detail, apt examples given, simple and easy language to understand. The best part was that under each topic there were certain topic which were tricky... Saket made sure he made small videos to make these tricky topic easy in the form of ClassRoom Videos...Awesome...I would definitely come back to you guys for more trainings...
My exam preparation included the Online Tutorial, the handouts from online tutorial, the Flash cards from tutorial and my notes that I prepared while watching the tutorial. i did all the Assessment given by iZenBridge and used to score 70%. I used to then go through the incorrect answers and tried to understand the gaps... I did not refer to any other material....
I do have a 5 yr of experience as Scurm Master which definitely helped me imagine the situations given in the questions....
The questions seemed to be very straight forward, but on reading twice or thrice one can figure out that there are hidden situations. Once you get hold of the hidden situation its easy to strike out the wrong options... it becomes crystal clear... I finished my exam just 20 min before as I emphasised on giving time to reading each question atlas 2-3 times. Also I marked few questions for review and revisited them for correction.
Use the tools given like highlighting the major points, striking out the wrong answer.... it helps to focus on only what is relevant...
I got Proficient in Adaptive Planning and CI (product, people,process), Below average in Value driven Delivery and rest were Moderately Proficient....
Thanks a lot for helping me fulfil my long awaited dream.. keep up the good work
