She assumed these positions after an extensive career in public service, most recently as Executive Counselor to the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA) from 2001 to 2007 and as Associate Commissioner and Deputy Associate Commissioner for Hearings and Appeals at SSA from 1992-2001.
Previously, Ms. Geier was General Counsel for the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), a Federal-State economic development partnership from 1988-1992. Her work at ARC followed nine years with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Division, where she was Assistant Director for Commercial Litigation and Senior Trial Counsel, specializing in civil prosecution of fraud cases. Before DOJ, Ms. Geier was Director of Seattle-King County Legal Services, Regional Director for the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), directing operations in seven western states and Micronesia, and Director of LSC’s first research and demonstration office, funding projects nationally to improve the quality and access to legal services for low income people.
Born in Memphis Tennessee, Ms. Geier graduated from Memphis Melrose High School and earned her Bachelor of Arts from Fisk University. After earning a Master of Arts in History from the University of Chicago, she returned to Tennessee to teach at Tennessee State University (TSU) in Nashville.

The Federal court’s order that the State of Tennessee had an affirmative duty to dismantle its dual system became a model for challenges to other higher education systems throughout the South. During 38 years of Federal litigation and oversight, the State of Tennessee invested approximately $500 million in student scholarships, faculty and administrative hiring and advancement, graduate study, summer preparatory programs, curricula and campus life changes, and capital improvements, including $77 million under the 2001 Consent Decree.

Savvier Announces Civil Lawsuits to Stop Unauthorized Distributors from Selling Counterfeit Copies of 6 Second Abs
Temporary Restraining Orders and Preliminary Injunctions Granted in New York and Florida as Savvier Vigorously Prosecutes Its Copyright and Trademark rights
CARLSBAD, Calif., October 20, 2004
Savvier announced today that it has recently been granted temporary restraining and preliminary injunction orders against distributors suspected of illegally distributing counterfeit 6 Second Abs products. Court orders were granted in New York and Florida and prohibit Drop Ship Solutions of Brooklyn, New York and Salco International, of Clearwater, Florida from selling specified Savvier products during the pendency of the action.Savvier is vigorously defending their patent, copyright, and trademark rights on 6 Second Abs in an effort to protect the consumer from inferior quality merchandise. Savvier has also served cease and desist letters against several additional distributors and further investigations and actions are pending as Savvier continues to shut down counterfeiters in an ongoing sweep of companies suspected of selling counterfeit product.
On June 29, 2004, Savvier and private investigators served the temporary restraining order at the offices of Drop Ship Solutions and its owner Mitchell Atiles, an unauthorized reseller suspected of distributing counterfeit 6 Second Ab units. The Court subsequently granted a preliminary injunction against Drop Ship Solutions pursuant to a stipulation between the parties. On July 26, 2004 a temporary restraining order was granted and served upon Salco International and its owner Sal Maggio at their offices in Clearwater, Florida. On September 24, 2004, the parties agreed to a preliminary injunction that was granted by the Court. Legal proceedings against both companies are ongoing, including Savvier's claims for monetary damages.
"Savvier is committed to aggressively locating and shutting down any distributors or re-sellers of counterfeit 6 Second Ab products. Savvier is proud of the high product quality of all of their products and do not want inferior quality products being sold to customers because in the end it's the customer that is being ripped off by the counterfeiters" said Jeff Tuller, President of Savvier. Savvier has an extensive system in place to identify and stop counterfeit products from being sold. Mr. Tuller also commented that "Little do these people know that we have eyes everywhere. We are currently prosecuting cases where we have digital images of street vendors and license plates where we track the sources back through the supply chain throughout the U.S. and China and shut them down with the help of private investigators skilled in this type of work.
"The primary culprits attempt to sell on the Internet or as street vendors or at swap meets. If a customer is unsure of whether products being sold on the internet are legitimate, a safe place to shop is the official website for 6 Second Abs at www.6secondabs.com or an authorized retail location" said Stuart Turner, Product Manager at Savvier.
Savvier has noted that the counterfeit products are clearly of inferior quality and contain DVD's that simply do not work. "It is shocking to me that despite the risks to both themselves and to the consumers who buy product, companies continue to try to pass off counterfeit product," said Joseph P. Costa, of Costa, Abrams & Coate LLP, Savvier's attorneys. "The lawsuits that we have brought and that we will continue to bring will require these resellers to shoulder some of the responsibility for the potential harm they've brought to consumers and honest resellers of Savvier product."
Savvier has noticed several identifying marks on the counterfeit 6 Second Abs units that can help distinguish them from the authentic 6 Second Abs:
• Prices that are well below the televised
As part of its efforts to stop the distribution of counterfeit product, Savvier has received commitments of cooperation from Drop Ship Solutions and Salco International that they will provide the identities of those customers who received counterfeit product so that authentic replacement product can be provided to them at the expense of the infringing distributor. "This is part of the goal here, to make sure that purchasers of Savvier product receive product of only the highest quality", said Jeff Tuller, Savvier's President.
Savvier was founded in 2002 and is an industry leader in direct response marketing. Its first two long-form infomercials, 6 Second Abs and Bodyflex, were certified #1 hits on both the Jordan Whitney and IMS charts.
Savvier is a registered trademark of Savvier, LP.

A sportsbook is a place where people can make wagers on various sporting events. It is often regulated by government agencies or gambling control boards. This makes it important to understand the laws and regulations before opening a sportsbook. In addition, it is crucial to consider the needs of users and what features they want in a sportsbook.
Sports betting is a popular pastime for many Americans. It has been legalized in most states, and it is available online and on mobile devices. This has fueled competition and innovation in the industry, but it has also created problems that sportsbooks are trying to resolve.
One of the biggest challenges for sportsbooks is determining whether or not they should offer same-game parlays. This type of bet can be dangerous for the books because it can lead to large losses. For this reason, it is important to consult with a legal advisor before making such a bet. In addition, sportsbooks should keep track of all bets placed by players and should pay out winning bets quickly and accurately.
Another challenge for sportsbooks is the fact that they must comply with state and federal gambling regulations. Moreover, sportsbooks must ensure that their employees are knowledgeable and trained in the industry. In addition, they must also have sufficient security measures in place to protect their customers’ personal information. This is a complicated task, and it can lead to serious consequences if not done correctly.
Lastly, sportsbooks must be able to provide a variety of betting markets. This includes both major sports and alternative wagers such as future bets, which are based on the potential outcome of an event. Some of these bets are more accurate than others, but they all have the same basic premise: predicting something that will happen during a game or event and risking money on it.
Sportsbooks must be able to quickly adjust their odds in response to sudden changes in the market. For example, if a player wins a big bet and the sportsbook isn’t ready to pay out, it could lose millions of dollars in a matter of hours. This is why sportsbooks must have detailed records of every bet placed, and a system for verifying each player’s identity before paying out their winnings.
A good sportsbook will have a clear registration and verification process that is easy for users to follow. In addition, it will be a secure and user-friendly platform that is always up and running. A well-designed sportsbook will keep users coming back.
Using a turnkey solution can have a number of disadvantages for sportsbooks, including high costs and lower profit margins. In addition, white labeling requires a lot of back-and-forth communication and can slow down the development process. Therefore, it is better to build a custom sportsbook from the ground up than to use a turnkey solution.

Five Ways to Get Help with Your Back Taxes
With April 15 just around the corner, tax season is officially underway. But if you are one of the 8.2 million Americans dealing with debt to the IRS, it can be difficult to know how to proceed responsibly and proactively to get your finances in order.
Fortunately, regardless of your level of debt, there are many ways that you can get help with back taxes, either with an offer in compromise or you can receive tax amnesty. However, the longer you wait, the more difficult it becomes to address your back tax problems, so if you have been avoiding taking action out of fear of the consequences, the best thing you can do for yourself is to take action now, no matter how long it has been or how much you may owe. While initial late fees are 5% of the total for each late month up to 25% of your total debt, the IRS can continue to add 0.5% of the debt amount per month to your total for up to four years of late payments. Taking action now to find ways to reduce the penalties you may have accrued decreases the likelihood that the IRS will begin an investigation and it means you can go back to collecting refunds instead of worrying!
1.) Hire a Professional
Depending on the amount of money you owe, it may be easier to tackle your debt with the help of a tax professional. Make sure your tax professional is a tax attorney, a Certified Public Accountant, or an Enrolled Agent.
If you owe less than $10,000 you may be in a position to settle your own finances. In this case, you should contact the IRS right away to find out about your options in settling up back taxes. If you owe more than $10,000, it’s very likely that you will benefit from the help of a qualified professional.
2.) Find a Compromise Solution with the IRS
The IRS offers a few options for individuals to pay their back taxes to keep you from facing unreasonable hardship. For example, you can decide to garnish your wages. This allows you to increase the amount of tax taken from each paycheck to slowly pay back the amount you owe. If your paycheck comes from non-taxed income (including unemployment or social security payments) you can fill out a Form W-4V to have tax withheld from this income. Use a W-4P to adjust income from pension annuity payments.
If your tax problems are sufficiently serious, you can work with the IRS to have your total owed amount evaluated in light of your cost of living and other expenses. This way, the IRS can determine an amount that is more reasonable for you to pay, but you will need to be able to pay the full sum at once or over a short payment plan period.
3.) File an Amended Return
Filing an amended tax return allows you to make corrections if the source of your back tax problem was a mistake when you originally filed. File a Form 1040X to make amendments if you filed with forms 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. If you have multiple returns with errors, you will need to fill a Form 1040X for each. However, an amended return is not appropriate for correcting simple arithmetic errors, as such errors should be caught by the IRS.
4.) As a Last Resort, Declare Bankruptcy
If, even after trying to find a compromise solution with the help of a professional, you are a still not able to pay your back taxes, you can declare bankruptcy. In declaring bankruptcy, you are legally announcing that you are not able to pay your debts. This means that your assets will be sold and your non-essential income will be used to pay back your debts.
Before declaring bankruptcy, you will need to file returns for the last four years and continue to file returns for the duration of the time period that you are bankrupt. You will have to petition to be considered bankrupt and your term of bankruptcy generally lasts for one year.
While some people think of bankruptcy as a convenient method of getting rid of debt, it is a choice that should not be made lightly as it will have long-term financial consequences and negative impacts on your credit.
5.) Evaluate Your Finances to Avoid Future Underpayments
According to the IRS, most underpayments or missed payments are the result of accidents and miscalculations. Thus, you should evaluate your situation and identify a solution based on the specifics of your case.
In some cases, individuals were not aware that they were not having enough subtracted from their paychecks. If this is the case, you can go online to change your W-4 to adjust the amount subtracted.
If you have non-taxed income, you can file to have up to 25% withheld from your pay checks or up to 10% of your unemployment checks. In addition, individuals who receive non-taxed income may find that their end-of-year taxes are much higher than expected if their quarterly taxes were too low.
Whatever your circumstances, evaluating the mistakes that led to your back tax problems will allow you to adjust your plans for the future to make appropriate payments. Consider working with a professional to come up with a new financial plan for the future if you feel unable to change past habits.

New York State authorities initially requested that the Company remove Waggin' Train and Canyon Creek Ranch chicken jerky treats from retail locations in the state of New York, which we have agreed to do. In addition, because of the differences in U.S. and Chinese regulations, Nestlé Purina decided to conduct a nationwide voluntary withdrawal.
"All of us at Waggin' Train care deeply about pets and their owners, and the quality of our products is of the utmost importance," said Nina Leigh Krueger, President, Waggin' Train LLC. "Waggin' Train has served millions of pets and their owners very well. In the final analysis, our Company and our loyal consumers must have total confidence in the products we sell and feed our pets. Once we understand and determine how to comply with the technicalities of different regulatory frameworks, we will work with all appropriate parties to define the best way to supply the market."
Nestlé Purina contacted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding NYSDAM's findings. There is no indication that the trace amounts of antibiotic residue are linked to the FDA's ongoing investigation of chicken jerky products. The trace amounts of antibiotic residue (in the parts-per-billion range) do not pose a health or pet safety risk.
No other Purina treats or pet food products are affected by this withdrawal. In addition, Canyon Creek Ranch dog and cat foods, which are manufactured in the United States, are not included in this withdrawal.
For product refund or more information call our Office of Consumer Affairs at 1-800-982-0704 or go to www.waggintrainbrand.com.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing at an unprecedented pace, transforming industries and shaping the future of technology. However, with great power comes great responsibility. As AI becomes more integrated into our lives, there is a growing need for comprehensive regulations to mitigate the potential risks and ensure the ethical and safe development and deployment of AI systems. In this technical and scientific blog post, we will delve into the future of AI and explore the critical role of regulation in addressing these risks.
Understanding AI’s Rapid Evolution
Before delving into the regulatory aspects, it is essential to comprehend the trajectory of AI development. AI encompasses a wide range of technologies, from machine learning and deep learning to reinforcement learning and natural language processing. These technologies have already demonstrated remarkable capabilities in areas such as image recognition, natural language understanding, and autonomous vehicles.
The future of AI holds the promise of even more significant breakthroughs, including advanced autonomous systems, enhanced healthcare diagnostics, and personalized education. However, as AI systems become more complex and capable, they also become more difficult to control and predict. This complexity increases the potential for unintended consequences and misuse, necessitating robust regulatory frameworks.
Mitigating Risks in AI
The risks associated with AI can be categorized into several key areas, each requiring targeted regulatory measures:
- Ethical Concerns: AI systems can perpetuate biases present in training data, leading to unfair and discriminatory outcomes. Robust regulation should mandate transparency and fairness in AI algorithms, as well as guidelines for responsible AI development.
- Privacy: The proliferation of AI-powered surveillance and data analytics poses a threat to personal privacy. Stricter regulations on data collection, storage, and usage are vital to safeguard individual privacy rights.
- Security: AI systems can be vulnerable to attacks and adversarial manipulation. Regulations must mandate cybersecurity measures and protocols to protect AI systems from threats.
- Accountability and Liability: Determining responsibility in the event of AI-related accidents or errors can be challenging. Regulations should establish liability frameworks that assign responsibility appropriately, be it the developers, operators, or the AI system itself.
- Safety: In fields like autonomous vehicles and healthcare, AI safety is paramount. Regulations should require rigorous testing, validation, and certification processes to ensure the safety of AI systems.
Regulating AI: A Technical Challenge
Creating effective regulations for AI is a multifaceted technical challenge. It involves addressing the following complexities:
- Algorithmic Transparency: Regulators need to develop methods for auditing and understanding complex AI algorithms, especially deep neural networks, to ensure that decisions made by these systems can be explained and justified.
- Data Governance: Regulations must define standards for data quality, fairness, and bias mitigation during the training of AI models. This includes addressing issues related to data collection, anonymization, and consent.
- Dynamic Adaptation: AI systems can adapt and evolve over time. Regulators must devise mechanisms to monitor and control AI systems continuously, even as they learn and improve their performance.
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Regulating AI requires input from experts in various fields, including computer science, ethics, law, and sociology. Collaborative efforts are needed to create comprehensive regulations.
The Role of International Collaboration
AI development is a global endeavor, and the future of AI regulation must reflect this reality. International collaboration is crucial to harmonize AI standards and promote responsible AI development across borders. Initiatives like the Global Partnership on AI (GPAI) are essential steps in this direction.
As AI technologies continue to advance, so too must our regulatory frameworks. The future of AI is brimming with possibilities, but it also carries inherent risks that must be carefully managed. Striking a balance between fostering innovation and mitigating risks through robust regulation is the cornerstone of a responsible AI future. The collaborative efforts of governments, industries, and academia are pivotal in shaping a future where AI benefits humanity while safeguarding our values and principles.
Let’s delve deeper into the key aspects of AI regulation and international collaboration in the context of mitigating risks associated with artificial intelligence.
Ethical Concerns and Algorithmic Transparency
Regulating AI for ethical considerations involves ensuring that AI systems adhere to principles of fairness, accountability, and transparency. Ethical AI principles should be enshrined in regulations to guide developers and operators. However, implementing these principles in practice is technically challenging.
- Fairness and Bias Mitigation: Regulators must establish clear guidelines for identifying and mitigating biases in AI algorithms. This necessitates techniques for measuring, monitoring, and addressing bias throughout the AI system’s lifecycle.
- Transparency: Achieving algorithmic transparency is a technical challenge because complex models like deep neural networks can be inscrutable. Developing techniques for explaining AI decisions, especially for high-stakes applications like healthcare or finance, is essential.
- Explainability: AI systems should provide interpretable explanations for their decisions. This requires research in creating interpretable AI models and methods for explaining black-box AI systems.
Privacy and Data Governance
Data protection and privacy are paramount concerns in AI regulation. Technical considerations in this context include:
- Data Minimization: Regulations should encourage the collection and use of only necessary data, minimizing the potential for misuse and privacy violations.
- Data Anonymization: Establishing technical standards for anonymizing data to protect individual identities while allowing meaningful analysis and training of AI models.
- Consent Mechanisms: Creating technically robust consent mechanisms that ensure users have control over their data and understand how it will be used by AI systems.
Dynamic Adaptation and Continuous Monitoring
AI systems continuously adapt and learn from new data. Regulators need to address how to maintain control and accountability in dynamic AI environments.
- Model Governance: Implementing technical frameworks for monitoring AI models in real-time, ensuring they adhere to regulatory requirements and ethical standards.
- Traceability: Developing mechanisms to trace the evolution of AI models, including data sources, training methods, and updates, to ensure accountability.
- Alert Systems: Creating AI systems capable of detecting their own failures or biases and triggering alerts for human intervention.
The technical nature of AI regulation necessitates collaboration between various domains:
- Computer Science: AI researchers play a pivotal role in developing AI systems that comply with regulatory standards. They must design algorithms that are transparent, explainable, and robust.
- Ethics and Philosophy: Ethicists and philosophers contribute to defining the ethical guidelines and principles that underpin AI regulation.
- Legal and Regulatory Experts: Legal experts are required to draft and enforce the regulations. They must interpret the complex technical aspects in a legal context.
- Sociologists and Psychologists: Understanding the societal impact and psychological implications of AI is essential for comprehensive regulation.
The global nature of AI development necessitates international collaboration:
- Standardization: International bodies like ISO and IEEE can establish global AI standards, ensuring that AI technologies are developed consistently across borders.
- Knowledge Sharing: Collaborative platforms for sharing knowledge, best practices, and regulatory experiences can help nations learn from one another.
- Harmonization: Efforts such as the Global Partnership on AI (GPAI) aim to harmonize AI policies, promoting responsible AI development worldwide.
- Trade Agreements: AI regulation can also become a part of trade agreements, ensuring that nations with robust AI regulations are incentivized to trade fairly in the global AI marketplace.
In conclusion, the future of AI regulation is a complex interplay between technical challenges, ethical considerations, and international cooperation. As AI technologies evolve, regulations must evolve in tandem to ensure the responsible and beneficial deployment of AI systems while mitigating the associated risks. Collaboration among stakeholders and a commitment to interdisciplinary approaches will be instrumental in shaping this future and ensuring that AI remains a force for good in our world.
