Diplomat 'mistaken for tourist'
From: www.mg.co.za
"A South African diplomat kidnapped in Malaysia on May 23 and later released was apparently mistaken by his abductors for a foreign tourist, South Africa's Foreign Affairs Department said on Tuesday.
In a statement, Foreign Affairs spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa said Nicky Scholtz, Deputy High Commissioner in Malaysia, was kidnapped while walking along Jalan Ampang, between the KLCC Suria and the Hotel Nikko in Kuala Lumpur.
He was beaten while shouting for help, Mamoepa said. As his kidnappers sped away they tried repeatedly to slam a car door shut on his leg. He was subsequently confined with the purpose of extorting money from him."

"BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A former chief financial officer of HealthSouth Corp. begged for leniency Wednesday before a federal judge sentenced him to house arrest and probation for a huge financial fraud.
Another one-time executive with the rehabilitation giant also avoided prison time in the scandal.
Ex-CFO Malcolm "Tadd" McVay said he was "profoundly sorry" and "totally embarrassed" over his role in a far-reaching scam the company estimates was worth some $3.4 billion.
"I'll go forward. I'll bear the scarlet letter. It won't be an `A,' it will be an `F,' for fraud," McVay, 42, told U.S. District Judge U.W. Clemon."

Heads Up! Lisa Lloyd's hair-raising inventions ... and more!
From: www.inventorsdigest.com
"Lloyd's hair-raising story begins in in the wake of a bad hair day in 1993, inspired by the whirlwind success of Tomima Edmark's Topsy Tail [ID - Sept/Oct 1994]. Topsy Tail, a simple, one piece accessory, could create interesting styles, but Lloyd wanted to fasten her hair into a traditional french twist and that was one thing no product on the market could do. So she decided to create her own. Standing in front of her bathroom mirror, she designed a prototype by shortening the teeth of a traditional banana clip and changing the clasp to make a smaller, invisible barrette - and it worked!"

"Asman was a real estate agent back in 1995 when the market hit an all time low. Houses were not selling, and he was looking to make a career change. He happened to be present one day when his father, a retired CPA, received a visit from a lawyer friend and his client, an inventor with some serious tax issues, who needed advice.
One conversation led to another as Stanley Hochfeld explained his invention, an umbrella that could withstand high winds without turning inside out. Asman understood the concept."
