The Department of Homeland Security and the national security state are determined to convert the nation's airports into Gestapo zones where citizens are subjected to the latest high-tech surveillance technology.
The Department of Homeland Security and the national security state are determined to convert the nation's airports into Gestapo zones where citizens are subjected to the latest high-tech surveillance technology.
The latest example: the CIA's technology front group, In-Q-Tel, has subcontracted with a cutting edge company to develop a molecular-level scanner that Homeland Security plans to install in airports.
"Within the next year or two, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will instantly know everything about your body, clothes, and luggage with a new laser-based molecular scanner fired from 164 feet (50 meters) away," reports Gizmodo. "From traces of drugs or gun powder on your clothes to what you had for breakfast to the adrenaline level in your body—agents will be able to get any information they want without even touching you."
The new system is ten million times faster and one million times more sensitive than the current naked body porno scanners the TSA uses. Because of its range, the device can be used on everybody who enters or leaves an airport – and, as Janet Napolitano has promised, at the local mall, sports stadium and hotel.
In fact, the system developed by Genia Photonics is so effective it can allegedly detect cancer cells and record other spectroscopic information. Once implemented, it will undoubtedly trickle down to law enforcement the same way drones have. Imagine cops using "suspicionless checkpoints" and discovering with the help of this new technology that you had a martini last night or smoked marijuana at the Christmas party last year. It will be a boon for the prison-industrial complex in the United States, now hosting the largest prison population in the world.
Gizmodo notes that the laser will be a perfect tool for the cops and will serve as an ideal pre-crime unit in squad cars: Since "it's extremely portable, will this technology extend beyond the airport or border crossings and into police cars, with officers looking for people on the street with increased levels of adrenaline in their system to detain in order to prevent potential violent outbursts? And will your car be scanned at stoplights for any trace amounts of suspicious substances?"
According to Genia Photonics and Tara O'Toole of Homeland Security, the technology will be "transition-ready… in the next 12 to 24 months."
That does not mean it will be installed within two years in cop cruisers and at entry points at the local mall or restaurant. It does mean that the CIA and the government are working at breakneck speed to turn America into a nightmarish high-tech prison that makes anything imagined by George Orwell pale in comparison.
Married with a crop of new technologies under development by the Pentagon – roachbots, humanoid robots, quarter-sized kilobots, and DARPA-developed cyborg insects – our impending Brave New World will indeed be unlike anything we have witnessed before and will closely resemble Philip K. Dick's The Minority Report dystopia, only tenfold.

Incident Frequency
Although Berrien County has numerous earthen dams, which require maintenance, and other dams that have had water seepage, there have been only three recorded dam failures in the County. These dams, New Troy Mill, Keill's Dam, and Pears Mill, were privately owned earthen dams that completely failed due to being overloaded, resulting in major flooding of the properties in which they were located.
Privately owned earthen dams in Berrien County have the most potential of failure. However, in most instances, the resulting flooding of one of these earthen dams would be limited to the surrounding property and not be a serious threat to other portions of the County. Many of these earthen embankments cross small ravines that, if not properly maintained, could weaken and leak due to tree roots that grow on or near the dams. These roots weaken the integrity of the embankment as they wind their way through the earthen structure.
Historically Significant Dam Failures in Berrien County
Mid 1970s
The Hydroelectric Dam in Berrien Springs underwent a major renovation when portions of the east embankment collapsed due to erosion. Although the dam was never in danger of failing, the outcome downstream would have caused significant damage had it done so at that time. The owner brought in heavy equipment and both sides of the structure were shored up and reinforced.
June 1978
A series of thunderstorms and torrential downpours began devastating areas in Berrien and Niles Townships. Flash flooding on a grand scale caused washouts on roadways and some streets became waterways. A private dam just south of Ullery Road near U.S. 31 collapsed which sent tons of water hurling down Ullery Road and eventually onto U.S. 31. Keill's Pond rose 15 feet in 6 minutes and raced in torrents onto adjoining properties. Parts of U.S. 31 near Daniel Boone Trail actually gave out when the ground underneath became waterlogged. Residents at the Marine Terrace Apartments had to be evacuated because of the rushing water along the St. Joseph River. Even with the deluge of water, predictions were that more rain was coming. Final farm damage assessment was put at.6 million.
Summer 1981
Heavy rains throughout the spring and early summer placed major stress on the Dayton Lake Dam in southern Berrien County. The large volumes of water added to the already degrading structural integrity of the dam caused portions of the earthen embankments to wash out. Several surrounding areas were flooded and one major road was washed out due to this event. Although the dam held, major renovation was completed to upgrade and improve the dam since this was the second incident in less than 15 years and a catastrophic failure was deemed imminent.

This course will examine laws generally applicable to nonprofit corporations. If time permits, the course will also address legal issues relating to other types of nonprofits such as cooperatives, credit unions, and thrift/mutual associations. We will compare and contrast the Washington Nonprofit Corporation Act with other comparable statutes and model legislation. An overarching theme will be whether nonprofits are economically beneficial or publicly desirable institutions that deserve a special legal status. Additionally, the course will contrast, wherever possible, regulation of nonprofit corporations with regulation of for-profit companies. The course will compare the relative economic efficiencies of nonprofit versus proprietary organizations, especially in the health care and environmental sectors.

Los Angeles – December 1, 2011 – V-MODA, the maker of critically-acclaimed and award-winning headphones including Crossfade LP and Crossfade M-80, is thrilled to announce the availability of Faders tuned earplugs, the first of several protective offerings under Ear Armor, Inc.
Constructed from top grade metals and medical-grade silicone fittings, Faders protect your hearing by reducing harmful noise by 12 dB evenly across the frequency spectrum, while still allowing you to enjoy crystal clear music and speech in a club, concert, festival, music practice, or other excessively loud events. The noise reduction can make the difference between an enjoyable listening experience and lifelong hearing loss.
The concept for Ear Armor and Faders was born when V-MODA founder and accomplished DJ, Val Kolton, was on tour in Spain. While enjoying a friend's set, Kolton noticed the sound level meter for the dance floor, a unique feature to this club. He was amazed by how high the decibel levels reached and had an immediate epiphany that DJs were unknowingly spinning at unsafe sound levels because the speakers in the DJ booth and dance floor are at separate volumes.
Continuing his spinning sessions after returning to America, Val Kolton found there were many people who were anxiously searching for good hearing protection. After reading an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association which found that one in five American teenagers had some degree of hearing loss – a startling 31% increase since the late 80s, Val immediately went to work commissioning the V-MODA R&D Labs with a new mission – to create the world's best earplugs.
"Most earplugs simply sound like you have mud in your ears, even expensive custom-fitted sets costing hundreds of dollars don't have the clarity and highs. Additionally, after DJing for years with custom earplugs, I experienced first-hand that they can cause ear canal problems similar to using Q-tips. Worst of all, these expensive products easily fall out and get lost,†says Val Kolton, Chief Visionary Officer and Founder of V-MODA. "Faders are affordable, comfortable, sleek, fit everybody, and most importantly they help protect your hearing while still allowing you to rock out and enjoy concerts, clubs, or any loud event.â€
V-MODA Faders are crafted in metal and are available in Gunmetal, Rouge and Pink and come with three sizes of medical-grade "BLISS 2.0†silicone fittings for a universal fit. Additionally, the fabric lanyard ensures they do not get lost in the crowd. They are available for a limited time for only $15 at V-MODA.com. For any order over $50, the Faders will be included complimentary while supplies last. For more information, please visit V-MODA.com/Faders. A portion of all proceeds go to the In The Loop Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by Kolton to help educate and promote the practice of safe sound.

(80 Pack) KN95 MASK Protection Against PM2.5 Dust
- the masks are for non medical use
- Easy to Breath Through
- 20 Pcs per 1 Box
- Free Shipping in US
1. What Does KN95 Mean?
KN95 stands for the regulatory standard for filtering facepiece respirators that are certified in China. The regulatory standard refers to a design that ensures filtration efficiency, tight seal with the face as well as minimum leakage.
The certification is applied in terms of use against non-oily particulates, as well as the current use against the COVID-19.
It is important to mention that the requirements for a KN95 certification are almost the same as the requirements fo the US N95 filtering facepiece respirators.
That is why both KN95 and N95 provide the same levels of protection, according to international standards and certifications.
2. What Are KN95 Masks Made From?
The KN95 masks are multi-layer masks, that usually feature 5-layer protection. The layers are made from high-quality, nonwoven fabric, hot air cotton, and melt-blown fabric.
The nonwoven fabric is hydrophobic, and is water- and droplet-proof. Moreover, the hot air cotton is soft and ensures lower air velocity. Further layers ensure particle filtration and hypoallergenic materials, that are skin-friendly.
3. How Long Can You Use A KN95 Mask?
KN95 masks are manufactured and designed for one-time use. This means that each new use would require a new mask. However, because of the shortage of the N95 and KN95 masks, the CDC has recommended reusing of the disposable filtering facepiece respirators as a crisis capacity strategy.
4. Is KN95 Mask Efficient?
KN95 masks are created to have at least 95% filtration efficiency, which makes them just as good as the N95 masks (97% filtration efficiency) and better than surgical masks (95% filtration efficiency) and PM 2.5 filter masks (approximately 60% filtration efficiency).

U. S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today announced that more than $2 billion is now available for New York under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. This funding will lay the foundation for a generation of education reform and help save hundreds of thousands of teaching jobs at risk of state and local budget cuts.
New York will be eligible to apply for another $996 million this fall. Today's funding is being made available per New York's successful completion of Part 1 of the State Stabilization Application, which was made available on April 1.
"The $2 billion New York will receive today is part of the single largest boost in education funding in recent history," said Duncan. "The President's leadership and support from Congress have made this historic investment possible. New York can now utilize these funds to save jobs and lay the groundwork for a generation of education reform."
To date, New York has received more than $879 million in education stimulus funds -- representing a combination of funding for Title I, IDEA, Vocational Rehabilitation Grants, Independent Living Grants and Impact Aid dollars. On April 1, New York received more than $454 million in Title I funding and $409 million in IDEA funding.
This represents 50 percent of the Title I and IDEA funding New York is eligible for in total. On April 1, New York also received $13 million in Vocational Rehab funds and $3 million in Independent Living funds. On April 10, New York received $310,000 in Impact Aid funding.
In order to receive today's funds, New York provided assurances that it will collect, publish, analyze and act on basic information regarding the quality of classroom teachers, annual student improvements, college readiness, the effectiveness of state standards and assessments, progress on removing charter caps, and interventions in turning around underperforming schools.
New York is also required by the Department of Education to report the number of jobs saved through Recovery Act funding, the amount of state and local tax increases averted, and how funds are used.
See New York and other state applications for initial funding under the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund Program at http://www.ed.gov/programs/statestabilization/resources.html.

Automobile technology has become so advanced that today's cars are essentially computers with wheels. So why aren't we using them to surf the Web, communicate with other cars or order food at nearby restaurants?
We're well on our way. Current models of several cars, including the Ford Edge, the Audi A6 and the Lincoln MKX, can all connect to the Internet over Wi-Fi or 3G networks. These connections bring streaming audio and video, Twitter feeds, spoken text messages and current traffic information into the vehicle.
And that's just the beginning. In the near future, you'll be able to browse the Web and get Facebook updates on your in-car navigation screen. And in coming years, wireless standards such as dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) will help cars connect to one another and to the road infrastructure, communicating real-time road conditions and other helpful information.
There are still numerous technical, legal and privacy issues to be worked out, not to mention major concerns over distracted driving and safety. But like it or not, the day of the connected car is dawning.
Bringing the Internet into the car
Ford is among the automakers leading the connected-car charge. Take, for instance, the Ford Edge. The 2011 and 2012 models of the souped-up crossover let you create your own in-car hotspot: Just plug your own mobile broadband modem or smartphone into one of the two USB ports, then share the connection with all your passengers over Wi-Fi.
And the company's Sync platform, built by Microsoft, provides a range of connected features including voice-controlled navigation with turn-by-turn directions, 4-1-1 business search and personalized traffic alerts. You can also plug in a music player via USB or pair a phone to the car via Bluetooth, then use voice commands to play music over the car's stereo system, make a call or have your text messages read aloud to you -- no headset required.
The Edge and other vehicles, such as the Lincoln MKX, have built-in touch displays that work much like a tablet or smartphone. Now used primarily for navigation and in-car controls (such as playing the radio), such displays will offer Web browsing in the next few years in many makes and models, according to George Peterson, the president of Detroit-based market research and consulting firm AutoPacific.
The Edge can already connect to Wi-Fi hotspots, and a Web browser will be available on its 8.3-inch navigation screen in the next few months, according to Ford spokesperson Alan Hall, who declined to be more specific about timing. The browser will be operational only while the vehicle is parked, he says. The idea is that when you park anywhere near Wi-Fi, you'll be able to tap into the Web.
In the next few years, almost all new cars will offer built-in browsing and other Net-connected apps, says Peterson. Meanwhile, he says, Ford's strategy is to use smartphones as the primary interface. About a dozen Ford cars, SUVs and trucks now support the company's Sync AppLink technology, which lets you control certain Android, iOS or BlackBerry apps using voice commands or, in some models, the touch panel or buttons on the steering wheel.
Current AppLink-enabled apps include Pandora streaming music, Stitcher Internet radio, the iHeartRadio music player and OpenBeak, a Twitter app. All four have been optimized for voice control, and OpenBeak can read tweets aloud so your eyes stay on the road.
In October 2010, the company began releasing its software development kit to other developers interested in creating AppLink-enabled apps, but according to Doug VanDagens, director of connected services for Ford, the company doesn't make its API available to just any developer who wants to make apps for Ford cars.
"We pick high-volume trusted partners [whose products], we believe, are safe for use in the car -- so no gaming, no highly graphic-intensive things. There's all kinds of people who want to provide functionality in the car that we're just not interested in -- it's not safe," he says. (More on distracted driving concerns later in the story.)

Ja'Net DuBois, who played the vivacious neighbor Willona Woods on "Good Times" and composed and sang the theme song for "The Jeffersons," has died.
DuBois' song "Movin' on Up" provided a joyous intro to "The Jeffersons" during the show's 10-season run.
BernNadette Stanis, who played Thelma Evans Anderson on "Good Times" and remained close to DuBois, said she learned of her death Tuesday from the actress' daughter.
"She used to keep us laughing all the time," Stanis said, warmly recalling her friend. "She was very, very talented. If she wasn't singing ... she was creating a character to make us laugh."

Police in Glendale, California, said they received a report about DuBois' death late Monday. She appeared to have died of natural causes and no investigation is ongoing, police Sgt. Dan Stubbs said. No additional details, including her age, were immediately available.
Stanis said DuBois appeared to be in good health when they appeared two weeks ago at a signing event. Her birth date was something she kept to herself, Stanis said.
"Nobody really knows," said Stanis, who recalled telling DuBois, "'Oh, you're so lucky. Nobody knows your age, girl!'"
Entertainment News
DuBois had a prolific career beyond the 1970s hit "Good Times," winning two Emmy Awards for her voice work on the WB series "The PJs."
DuBois' Willona was the single, sexy neighbor and best friend to star Esther Rolle's Florida Evans. Though the comedy had plenty of one-liners, DuBois' appearances gave an extra dose of comedic relief. DuBois showed off more of her dramatic skills when a young Janet Jackson joined the show as the abused child Penny; DuBois' character would go on to adopt Penny, and the story line also forged a long, close relationship between DuBois and Jackson, who would go on to become a multiplatinum superstar; she cast DuBois as her mother in her 1986 "Control" video.
Jackson paid tribute to DuBois in anInstagram post on Tuesday.
"I am so very saddened to hear my longtime friend Ja'Net DuBois has passed away. I saw first hand how she broke stereotypes and changed the landscape for Black women in entertainment," she wrote. "I'm grateful in recent years I had a chance to see her and create more lasting memories. I pray for comfort for all her family and friends."
Oscar-winner Viola Davis, who played the role of Florida in the live version of "Good Times" that aired on ABC in December, posted a picture of herself,DuBois, Stanis, Tiffany Haddish (who played Willona) and Corinne Foxx on the set of the broadcast.
"Oh man!!! Just saw you! What a pleasure it was to meet you," she wrote. "You shaped so much of the best memories of my childhood! God bless you, Ja'net DuBois!"
DuBois' career started in theater, where she appeared in Broadway productions of "Golden Boy" and "A Raisin in the Sun," according to a biography on her website. A performance in "The Hot l Baltimore" in Los Angeles caught the eye of Norman Lear, who developed "Good Times" and "The Jeffersons."
DuBois' Willona was a "true diva back then, fancy dressing, the wigs, doing the thing. ... the real woman woman," said Stanis. "She brought it, didn't she?"
Her film credits included 1970's "Diary of a Mad Housewife," "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" and "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle."
She was credited in numerous other films as varied as "Basic Instinct," "Next Friday" and "Tropic Thunder," which included "Movin' on Up."
DuBois was a co-founder of the Pan African Film Festival, which since 1992 has showcased films meant to promote a greater cultural understanding of people of African descent.
The festival, which is being held in Los Angeles and runs through Sunday, on Tuesday released an image mourning DuBois, calling her "Our Founder, Now Our Angel."
This story has corrected the capitalization of DuBois' last name throughout.

History & Description
Although barefoot slalom, tricks and jumping water ski events are very similar to traditional events, the major difference here is, you guessed it, participants do not wear skis.
In the slalom event, an athlete earns points for crossing the boat wakes in a course that does not have buoys. In tricks, an athlete attempts to perform as many tricks as he can during two 15-second passes. Each trick has a pre-assigned point value and an athlete may perform each trick only once. The athlete who earns the most points wins the event. In the jumping event, the ramp height is only 18 inches (45.5 centimeters), but the boat speed is more than 40 miles per hour, which is feet-burning fast!
Faster boat speeds are required for an athlete to plane on his two bare feet. There are no hand tools needed to make barefoot equipment repairs, only a tube of super glue. If a blister or cut opens on the bottom of an athlete's foot, standard procedure is to glue it shut now to finish skiing and deal with the stitches later.
In addition to slalom, tricks and jumping, barefoot athletes also participate in figure eight competitions and endurance events where the athlete who stays up the longest is the winner.
Barefoot water skiing began in Florida as a recreational activity in the late 1940s and was quickly introduced into the water ski shows at Cypress Gardens, Fla. Interest in barefooting grew, and in 1977 the American Barefoot Club (ABC) became a sport division of USA Water Ski & Wake Sports, the national governing body for the sport of water skiing in the United States. Originally, membership in the ABC was reserved for barefooters who could stay on their feet for a minimum of 60 seconds.
The barefoot craze spread overseas, becoming especially popular among the Australians, who eventually organized the first barefoot tournaments. They were patterned after conventional competition, with an added discipline called "start methods," which has since been discontinued. Today, barefooting is a world-wide sport recognized by the International Water Ski Federation, the world governing body of water skiing. A world championships is held every two years.
In the United States, USA Water Ski & Wake Sports sanctions more than 50 barefoot tournaments each year. The Barefoot Water Ski National Championships, held each August, attracts more than 100 of the nation's top barefooters who compete for event and overall medals.
The Barefoot Events
Barefoot water ski events – wake slalom, tricks and jumping – are similar to the three events in traditional water skiing. Differences arise in the speed of the boat and the skier (depending upon age division, barefoot events are sometimes faster, with a top speed for the Open Division of 43.2 mph), in the lack of buoys in slalom, and the height of the jump ramp (18 inches as compared to five or six feet for traditional jumping). The absence of skis more than makes up for the differences in the equipment on the ski course.
In wake slalom, points are awarded for full crossing from the outside of the first wake wave to the outside of the second, for crossing one wave only, and for straddling a wake wave at the moment the 15-second pass is terminated. Crossings can be made on one foot or both feet, the barefooter facing forward or backward. Point values increase for the more difficult methods.
Barefoot tricks runs are 15 seconds in length and are scored by judges in much the same manner as those in conventional tricks skiing.
In barefoot jumping, the takeoff edge of the ramp is approximately 18 inches above the water line. Jumpers must step off a ski prior to reaching a step-off buoy, located 165 feet before the ramp, and maintain a barefooting position into the ramp. Jumping distance requirements to qualify barefooters for Open competition are 35 feet for women and 50 feet for men.

With blackout curtains shrouding the internet this morning, it's hard not to think about what the web might look like if SOPA and PIPA passed. One company who isn't sweating it? The Pirate Bay—yup, that's right, the very site these laws were proposed to censor.
A Pirate Bay source told TorrentFreak that the company is concerned, but not about being shut down, "Of course we're worried. Not so much for The Pirate Bay, as there are many workarounds, but for democratic reasons." Indeed, via backup domains, alternative DNS-servers or proxy sites, both SOPA and PIPA can be circumvented, particularly since its advertising partners aren't subject to U.S. laws.
"Anticipating future censorship, The Pirate Bay yesterday released a modified version of the CGIPROXY software so anyone with access to a webserver can easily start their own Pirate Bay proxy. And since The Pirate Bay plans to ditch .torrent files completely, the resources that have to be invested are minimal."
Rather than stop sites like the Pirate Bay, Congress may have overshot its mark and, according to the source, landed somewhere closer to world domination.
"It's obvious that the US has too much influence on the internet and the world's politics. SOPA/PIPA is one of many newer laws that is passed in the US but really is in effect outside of their borders. The UN and other bodies should actually fight back and say that this is not OK, " the insider said.
"The internet is a global infrastructure and can't be run in one single country. Besides fighting SOPA, we must also take away the possibility for a single country to rule over the global infrastructure."
In case you're keeping track that's: a big zero on the problem SOPA is designed to solve, but a huge win for ruining the world wide web.

The death of the heir of the Fontainebleau Hotel fortune has sparked a twisted blame game as the victim's wife and stepdaughter accuse each other of his murder. Plus, VIEW OUR GALLERY of The Fontainebleau through the years.
Editor's Note: In an earlier version of this article, five sentences were copied from a Miami Herald report without attribution. The Daily Beast has removed the sentences and regrets the error. Two additional such sentences have also been removed, and an inaccurate description of Ronald Novack has been corrected.
Ben Novack built Miami Beach's iconic Fontainebleau Hotel in 1954. It was a magnet for the rich and famous, including so many mobsters that the FBI assigned undercover agents to conduct surveillance at the grand ballroom to keep a tally of which northern kingpins were in town. As I discussed in my book, Miami Babylon, Novack himself was long rumored to have mob connections, which he always denied.
But Monday, the Novack legacy took a strange turn when a Fort Lauderdale Probate Judge awarded Narcy Novack, the widow of Novack's murdered son, Ben Jr., control of his $10 million estate. What made the probate ruling odd was that other relatives wanted Narcy Novack—a suspect in the murder—removed as the estate's executor under the state's slayer statute. That law prohibits a killer from inheriting any part of a victim's estate. The relatives dropped their lawsuit at the last moment, unable to marshal the evidence that Narcy was the killer. But the lawyers for the other Novacks asked for a dismissal without prejudice—which allows them to file another challenge at a later date.
Click Image to View Our Gallery of the Fontainebleau through the Years
Some background: This past July, Narcy found her husband's bloody corpse at the Rye Town Hilton hotel in Westchester County, New York. He was on the floor beside his bed and had been bludgeoned. His mouth was covered with duct tape, his hands taped behind his back, and his legs were tied together together below the knees. Missing was Novack's gold bracelet, with "BEN" in diamonds. Novack had been directing a business conference he had organized. According to his Web site, his company, Convention Concepts Unlimited, took in $50 million annually. Narcy told the police she found her husband's body when she returned from breakfast. The Westchester police believe the murder was a professional hit, although they are not sure who ordered it, much less carried it out.
While the family fought over burial expenses, Novack's corpse was preserved on ice at the Westchester County medical examiner's office for 52 days before he was finally buried in the family's mausoleum in Queens, New York. Armed guards kept the fighting family members separated.
The Westchester police say Narcy is a "person of interest." She hasn't been charged, nor has anyone else. But the Novack family is a 10-plus on the dysfunction meter. Narcy Novack's daughter from a previous marriage, May Abad, charges that her mom arranged the murder to collect her husband's fortune, and that her mom knew Ben was having an affair.
A Feb. 2 Miami Herald article detailed the often volatile relationship between the Novacks.
Narcy has turned the tables in the current probate fight and accused her own daughter of murdering Ben Jr., a charge Abad vehemently denies. A few days after Novack's body had been found, Narcy and her daughter had a violent fight at Narcy's Fort Lauderdale home. Narcy called the police, accused Abad of assaulting a niece who was at the home, and had the police remove her forcibly from the property. Abad told the police her mother had struck her with a crowbar.
Novack's Batman collection, the largest in private hands, was started by Ben Sr. when he owned the Fontainebleau. It was estimated by Christies in 2000 as potentially worth $15 million. But after Ben Jr.'s death, much of the Batman memorabilia turned up missing from several warehouses in Broward County. Sources close to the case told The Daily Beast that the locks on the warehouses where the materials were stored had been hacked off.
The Novack family is a 10-plus on the dysfunction meter.
If yesterday's probate ruling stands, Narcy will likely also gain control of the estate of her late husband's 87-year-old mother, Bernice Novack, who was found dead three months before her son. Part of her estate was inherited by Ben Jr. and part by an adopted son of Ben Sr., Ronald Novack, a homeless man who dramatically showed up eight years after his mother's death and claimed his inheritance just before a court was about to declare him legally dead.
Bernice Novack's April 2009 death—in which her body was found face down and her skull was fractured—was ruled accidental by Fort Lauderdale police and the Broward County medical examiner. The coroner's ruling was despite some blood police found smeared on her car and on the walls in the house. But second thoughts on the closed case came when Rye Brook detectives received an anonymous letter, after Ben Jr.'s murder, claiming that both Bernice and her son were killed by Narcy and an unnamed accomplice. Although initially skeptical, Rye Brook police have said that during the course of their investigation they determined that details in the letter were accurate.
"What we found interesting in the letter is there were names in it at the time we were not aware of, and as we did our own investigation, we found that information to be true," a Rye Brook police spokesman told reporters.
The letter, written in Spanish, is dated July 20, 2009, a week after Ben Jr.'s brutal murder and three months after his mother's death. It names those involved, says how the murders were committed, and describes the events leading up to the alleged dual homicides. Based on that letter, the Fort Lauderdale police have opened an investigation into Bernice's death and whether foul play was involved.
Narcy Novack's attorney, Howard Tanner, says the allegations about his client are based on unfounded rumor and innuendo and that she had nothing to do with her husband's death and had nothing to gain from the murder. Attempts to reach May Abad, or her attorney, for comment were unsuccessful.
As for Ben Novack Sr.'s great achievement—the Fontainebleau—it's hanging on by a thread, close to bankruptcy after a billion-dollar renovation failed to revive its fortunes. It doesn't seem like anything is going right for the Novacks—not even their Miami Beach legacy.
Update: On Thursday, February 4, Broward Probate Judge Charles M. Green reversed his decision of just three days earlier granting control of Ben Novack Jr.'s estate to his wife, Narcy, citing a federal criminal grand jury investigation, of which she is evidently a target.

The 1930 Geneva Motor Show (Salon International De l'Automobile Et Du Cycle) showcased a lot of new cars, but one item in particular took my interest: the amazing art deco poster announcing the show. Lokomotiv font was based on this poster. It is a very deco-ish font, futuristic, angular, with bold squares, rounds and triangles. As I had to work with just a handful of glyphs, and needed to fill an entire font, I made up the missing ones myself.
Lokomotiv, by the way, is German for Locomotive.

Wetlands from Bangladesh to Florida submerged. Drought and devastating heat in important granaries such as the Yangtze floodplain in China or Ukraine. Rains that come too often or too hard in India or the U.S. Northeast. The list of potentially devastating impacts from climate change is a long one. But with greenhouse gas emissions continuing to climb and concentrations in the atmosphere rising by roughly two parts per million (ppm) a year, climate catastrophes are looking more and more imminent.
"Today's greenhouse gas levels [387 ppm] would already be plenty high enough to cause over two degrees of warming even if we stabilized concentrations tomorrow," says physicist Myles Allen of the University of Oxford. "Two degrees isn't 'safe,' in that there will be negative impacts for many regions and systems even with two degrees of warming, but anything over two degrees starts to look much more serious."
So how do we keep global average temperatures from warming more than two degrees Celsius? Scientists have begun to turn their attention to answering this critical question now that the potential impacts of climate change have become clear. The solutions offered range from a tax on emissions of carbon dioxide to an end to forest-clearing for agriculture.
Past is prologue?
Today's climate situation could appear relatively benign. After all, digging into the geologic record for climate change reveals that previous periods, such as the Eemian interglacial more than 130,000 years ago, have been nearly this warm. "On a global average it was around 1 degree Celsius warmer," says climate scientist James Hansen of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). But "it was still the same planet. It was not that different."
One major difference, of course, was that sea levels were at least four meters higher in the Eemian, and preindustrial climate changes seem to have been driven by small shifts in Earth's orbit, which, in turn affect the amount of sunlight reaching the planet.
Present climate change, driven by increasing greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere, has other effects beyond droughts, heat waves, rising sea levels and more intense or more frequent rains. Most notably, the warming climate is rendering the oceans more acidic—with attendant impacts on sea life, such as coral reefs.
And it remains unclear how other factors strengthen or diminish the effects of greenhouse gases trapping more of the sun's heat. "The question is how do the feedbacks kick in from water vapor, clouds, sea ice that amplify or maybe diminish the impact from CO2, methane and the rest," says climate scientist Jon Foley of the University of Minnesota.
Plus, "the human-made forcing is very unusual. The forcings that drove paleoclimate were much slower and weaker," Hansen says. "Now we've got nearly instantaneous change within a century."
And that instantaneous change seems to be accelerating. Climatologist Stephen Schneider of Stanford University argues that "given the current trajectory, there's not a large chance that we won't warm above two degrees Celsius." But "the world is not fine at 1.8, it does not die at 2.2. It's a judgment about when it's gone beyond danger."
A matter of pricing and deforestation
That judgment, of course, varies depending on whether one is living in the Arctic or a coral atoll or in the middle of a large continental landmass like North America or Asia. But it is clear that there are several keys to reining in greenhouse gas emissions. "As long as fossil fuels are the cheapest form of energy, they are going to continue to be burned," Hansen argues, identifying the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. "You've got to put a price, a gradually rising price, on carbon emissions."
That price will have to be global, according to various climate scientists. "Any credible plan for avoiding dangerous climate change will have to address the question of what India, China, Russia and the U.S. are going to do with the coal they have underground that we cannot afford for them to release into the atmosphere," Oxford's Allen notes. "If they are not going to use that coal, ever, then who is going to compensate them for the benefits lost? And if they are going to use it, then who is going to pay for its carbon content to be sequestered?"
On top of that, slowing the ongoing clearing of forests from Brazil to Indonesia would address a full 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. "Deforestation continues to be one billion to two billion metric tons of carbon pear year, more than most countries in the world," Minnesota's Foley notes. "These forests are hugely important to biodiversity, watersheds, bioprospecting. These are treasure troves and we are burning them down for cheap land. Maybe we can help the economics be different."
That cheap land, of course, is being cleared to grow food—whether grains and other crops directly or to make pasture for cattle. Such agriculture will bear the brunt of climate change as many of the crops humanity relies on are finely tuned to thrive in the present climate and may wither as temperatures warm. More importantly, from the perspective of feeding a growing population, yields will likely drop without new varieties being developed. "All the grains we grow are beyond their thermal maximum. For every degree Celsius [that mean global temperature] increases, yield drops 10 percent," notes geochemist Wallace Broecker of Columbia University's Earth Institute. "In the meantime, population is going up by 30 percent. With three degrees [Celsius] warming, it's 30 percent down in grain and 30 percent up in population, then you've got a big problem."
A range of win–win scenarios
Fortunately, scientists are now able to answer questions such as the impacts from a given policy or program. For example, researchers can now identify specific sectors or programs that can yield specific results as far as addressing environmental problems, says climate modeler Gavin Schmidt of NASA's GISS. "Switch to plug-in electric vehicles and, even with the current mix of [electricity] generation, you still end up ahead." The same is true for burning wood or coal for cooking or heat in Asia. A switch to electricity for these needs would diminish both deforestation and the Asian brown cloud. "By finding win–win–win scenarios across a range of policy goals you end up bringing more people to the table," Schmidt notes.
And there is a great deal of room for progress in using energy more efficiently. "The U.S. has a vast opportunity to increase efficiency to match Europe or Japan," Foley says.
Mandatory performance standards are needed worldwide, adds Stanford's Schneider: "Nobody needs a kilowatt. What they need is air conditioning or a refrigerator."
But "adaptation policies to deal with climate change in the pipeline we can't prevent" will also be needed, Schneider argues. "Who is most vulnerable to climate change? Poor people in hot countries. Who contributed the least to the problem? Poor people in hot countries."
In order to alleviate the poverty that still afflicts more than one billion people, policymakers need to leave room for development—and its attendant greenhouse gas emissions. "The world is going to have to create a carbon pie eventually and divide it up by country," Columbia's Broecker says. "A total amount of CO2 that each country will be able to add to the atmosphere. If they want to burn more than that then they'd have to take an equivalent amount out again."
And, what is also unclear is exactly what will happen when and if greenhouse gas emissions—and concentrations in the atmosphere—begin to come back down again. "Anthropogenic carbon dioxide is mixed rapidly through the atmosphere, land biosphere and near-surface ocean, such that a certain fraction remains in the atmosphere. This fraction has remained remarkably constant over the past century and we don't really know how it will change if and when we cut emissions, never having done such a thing for an extended period of time," Oxford's Allen notes. But "to solve the problem we need to eliminate net emissions of carbon dioxide entirely."
How Can Humanity Avoid or Reverse the Dangers Posed by a Warming Climate?
With greenhouse gas emissions continuing to rise, strong efforts will be required to reverse global warming
Wetlands from Bangladesh to Florida submerged. Drought and devastating heat in important granaries such as the Yangtze floodplain in China or Ukraine. Rains that come too often or too hard in India or the U.S. Northeast. The list of potentially devastating impacts from climate change is a long one. But with greenhouse gas emissions continuing to climb and concentrations in the atmosphere rising by roughly two parts per million (ppm) a year, climate catastrophes are looking more and more imminent.

Interpretive Summary: There are approximately 15 million people in the United States with type II diabetes and over half of these people are unaware they have the disease. Even larger numbers of people have elevated levels of blood sugar that may lead to diabetes. Diet is known to help control impaired glucose metabolism and type II diabetes but the exact components of the diet involved are unclear. We have shown that the common spice, cinnamon, may be a critical dietary component in the control of blood sugar. We have also demonstrated a mechanism or pathway where components of cinnamon act in the regulation of blood sugar. This work has the potential to be of benefit to the millions of people with elevated levels of blood sugar and diabetes throughout the world. This work is also of benefit to scientists and medical personnel interested in the mechanisms of control of sugar utilization.
Technical Abstract: Bio-active compound(s) extracted from cinnamon potentiate insulin activity, as measured by glucose oxidation in the rat epididymal fat cell assay. Wortmannin, a potent PI 3'-kinase inhibitor, decreases the biological response to insulin and bio-active compound(s) from cinnamon similarly, indicating that cinnamon is affecting an element(s) upstream of PI 3'-kinase. Enzyme studies done in vitro show that the bio-active compound(s) can stimulate autophosphorylation of a truncated form of the insulin receptor and can inhibit PTP-1, a rat homolog of a tyrosine phosphatase (PTP-1B) that inactivates the insulin receptor. No inhibition was found with alkaline phosphatase or calcineurin suggesting that the active material is not a general phosphatase inhibitor. It is suggested, then, that a cinnamon compound(s), like insulin, affects protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation reactions in the intact adipocyte. Bio-active cinnamon compounds may find further use in studies of insulin resistance in adult onset diabetes.

In 2000, 53% of households (3.8 million) had a computer, an 11% increase over 1999. About one-third (33%) of households (2.3 million) had Internet access, a 49% increase over 1999 (graph 24.12). The graph also shows estimates for households with a home computer and those with Internet access in 2001 based on the reported intentions of those households without either in 2000. On that basis, a little over 60% of households were expected to have a home computer and almost 50% were expected to have home Internet access.
Characteristics of households with home Internet access
Households with children and those on higher incomes were more likely to have access to computers and the Internet at home (table 24.13).
Characteristics of adult Internet users
An estimated 6.5 million adults in Australia (47% of all adults) accessed the Internet from any site (home, work or other site) at some time in 2000 (table 24.14). The comparable figure for 1999 was 5.6 million adults (41% of all adults). During 2000:
During 2000, adults were most likely to access the Internet from home, a significant change from the patterns of 1998 and 1999 (graph 24.15). This reflects the strong growth over recent years in the number of households with home Internet access. The most prevalent uses of the Internet by adults at home during 2000 were to use email or chat rooms (68% of adults accessing the Internet at home), general browsing (57%) and to find information related to work (36%).
Characteristics of children accessing the Internet
An estimated 2.5 million children (47% of all children) in Australia aged 5-14 years accessed the Internet from any site (home, school or elsewhere) at some time during the 12 months to April 2000 (table 24.16). Among children aged 5-14 years:
The most prevalent uses of the Internet at home by children aged 5-14 years were for school or educational activities (83% of all 5-14 year olds who accessed the Internet at home), to use email or chat rooms (51%), browsing the Internet for leisure (50%) and to play games (40%).
Internet purchasing
About 7% of Australian adults (967,000) used the Internet to purchase or order goods or services for their own private use in 2000, compared to 5% of Australian adults (653,000) in 1999. The majority of Internet users (5.5 million adults) were not Internet shoppers during 2000.
In 2000, adults mainly purchased or ordered the following items over the Internet:
During this period, 82% of adult Internet shoppers paid for all or part of their purchases/orders on-line. On average, over a 12-month period, each Internet shopper in 2000 spent $600 purchasing or ordering goods or services for private use via the Internet.

The Antennae Galaxies move closer
9 May 2008
New research on the Antennae Galaxies using the Advanced Camera for Surveys onboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows that this benchmark pair of interacting galaxies is in fact much closer than previously thought - 45 million light-years instead of 65 million light-years.
The Antennae Galaxies are among the closest known merging galaxies. The two galaxies, also known as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, began interacting a few hundred million years ago, creating one of the most impressive sights in the night sky. They are considered by scientists as the archetypal merging galaxy system and are used as a standard against which to validate theories about galaxy evolution.
An international group of scientists led by Ivo Saviane from the European Southern Observatory has used Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 to observe individual stars spawned by the colossal cosmic collision in the Antennae Galaxies. They reached an interesting and surprising conclusion. By measuring the colours and brightnesses of red giant stars in the system, the scientists found that the Antennae Galaxies are much closer than previously thought: 45 million light-years instead of the previous best estimate of 65 million light-years.
The team targeted a region in the relatively quiescent outer regions in the southern tidal tail, away from the active central regions. This tail consists of material thrown from the main galaxies as they collided. The scientists needed to observe regions with older red giant stars to derive an accurate distance. Red giants are known to reach a standard brightness, which can then be used to infer their distance. The method is known as the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB).
The proximity of the Antennae system means it is the best-studied galaxy merger in the sky, with a wealth of observational data to be compared to the predictions of theoretical models. Saviane says: "All aspiring models for galaxy evolution must be able to account for the observed features of the Antennae Galaxies, just as respectable stellar models must be able to match the observed properties of the Sun. Accurate models require the correct merger parameters, and of these, the distance is the most essential".
The previous canonical distance to the Antennae Galaxy was about 65 million light-years although values as high as 100 million light years have been used. Our Sun is only eight light-minutes away from us, so the Antennae Galaxies may seem rather distant, but if we consider that we already know of galaxies that are more than ten billion light-years away, the two Antennae Galaxies are really our neighbours.
The previous larger distance required astronomers to invoke some quite exceptional physical characteristics to account for the spectacular system: very high star-formation rates, supermassive star clusters, ultraluminous X-ray sources etc. The new smaller distance makes the Antennae Galaxies less extreme in terms of the physics needed to explain the observed phenomena. For instance, with the smaller distance, the size of the star clusters formed as a consequence of the Antennae merger now agree with those of clusters created in other mergers instead of being 1.5 times as large.
The Antennae Galaxies are named for the two long tails of stars, gas and dust that resemble the antennae of an insect. These "antennae" are a physical result of the collision between the two galaxies. Studying their properties gives us a preview of what may happen when our Milky Way galaxy collides with the neighbouring Andromeda galaxy in several billion years. Although galaxy mergers today are not common, it is believed that in the past they were an important channel of galaxy evolution. Therefore understanding the physics of galaxy mergers is a very important task for astrophysicists.
The Antennae are located in the constellation of Corvus, the Crow.
The findings appeared in the May 2008 issue of The Astrophysical Journal.

For the third consecutive week, Serbian Jelena Jankovic faced a Russian in the finals. At the Kremlin Cup, her opponent was Vera Zvonareva. The result was the same, as Jankovic beat Zvonareva 6-2, 6-4.
Zvonareva's first tier I final in front of a partisan crowd was not a delightful experience. After opening the match with a forehand crosscourt winner, Vera threw away a game point and with a bunch of errors gave Jankovic the break. Subsequently, Jelena literally pinned Vera into a corner resulting in four straight forehand errors for a love game 2-0. After blowing a 40-15 lead, Zvonareva finally got on the scoreboard after Jankovic produced a couple of forehand errors of her own 1-2. After holding serve comfortably, Jelena pressured Vera with her deep groundstrokes resulting in four consecutive forehand errors on the Russian's best shot. Now, the Serb had a double break lead 4-1, then, dominated to take the first set.
Just as she had done in the first set, Jankovic started out the second by imposing her game. A sequence of unforced errors by Zvonareva gave her triple break point; Jankovic capitalized by curling in a forehand winner from way off the court. Despite being frustrated, Vera did not wither. After a backhand down the line by Jankovic misconnected, the players were at deuce. Later, Zvonareva connected on a sensational topspin lob for a break point which she converted 1-1. At that point, momentum appeared to have shifted. Moreover, Zvonareva obtained another break point when Jankovic misfired on a ball that skidded off the line. However, successive unforced errors by Vera equalized the set at 2-2. With a swinging volley and two forehand winners, Jankovic regained the lead 3-2. But refusing to cry uncle, Vera received another opportunity when her backhand hit the net and dropped in for a winner to give her double break point. Zvonareva converted and the players were back on serve 4-4. However, the ever-crafty Jankovic fabricated two backhand down the line winners for a double break which she capitalized on for a 5-4 lead. Then, with repeated unforced errors from Zvonareva, Jankovic secured the match.
Zvonareva can still rejoice. With this showing, she will climb up a notch in the rankings from 9 to 8. On the WTA, the ranking shuffle continues. With Serena Williams withdrawing from this event due to an ankle injury, Dinara Safina, Zvonareva's opponent in the semifinals, will become the new number 2.
Nadia Petrova and Katarina Srebotnik dismissed the number one women's doubles team Cara Black and Liezel Huber 6-4, 6-4 to take the cup. The men were also in action in Moscow. Russian Igor Kunitsyn defeated fellow countryman Marat Safin 7-6, 6-7, 6-3 to win his first ATP title.

How to: Access Characters in a System::String
You can access characters of a String object for high-performance calls to unmanaged functions that take wchar_t* strings. The method yields an interior pointer to the first character of the String object. This pointer can be manipulated directly or pinned and passed to a function expecting an ordinary wchar_t string.
PtrToStringChars returns a Char, which is an interior pointer (also known as a byref). As such, it is subject to garbage collection. You don't have to pin this pointer unless you're going to pass it to a native function.
Consider the following code. Pinning is not needed because ppchar is an interior pointer, and if the garbage collector moves the string it points to, it will also update ppchar. Without a pin_ptr, the code will work and not have the potential performance hit caused by pinning.
If you pass ppchar to a native function, then it must be a pinning pointer; the garbage collector will not be able to update any pointers on the unmanaged stack frame.
// PtrToStringChars.cpp
// compile with: /clr
using namespace System;
int main() {
String ^ mystring = "abcdefg";
interior_ptr<const Char> ppchar = PtrToStringChars( mystring );
for ( ; *ppchar != L'\0'; ++ppchar )
This example shows where pinning is needed.
// PtrToStringChars_2.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <string.h>
#include <vcclr.h>
// using namespace System;
size_t getlen(System::String ^ s) {
// Since this is an outside string, we want to be secure.
// To be secure, we need a maximum size.
size_t maxsize = 256;
// make sure it doesn't move during the unmanaged call
pin_ptr<const wchar_t> pinchars = PtrToStringChars(s);
return wcsnlen(pinchars, maxsize);
int main() {
An interior pointer has all the properties of a native C++ pointer. For example, you can use it to walk a linked data structure and do insertions and deletions using only one pointer:
// PtrToStringChars_3.cpp
// compile with: /clr /LD
using namespace System;
ref struct ListNode {
Int32 elem;
ListNode ^ Next;
void deleteNode( ListNode ^ list, Int32 e ) {
interior_ptr<ListNode ^> ptrToNext = &list;
while (*ptrToNext != nullptr) {
if ( (*ptrToNext) -> elem == e )
*ptrToNext = (*ptrToNext) -> Next; // delete node
ptrToNext = &(*ptrToNext) -> Next; // move to next node

Aside from B.B. King, there has been no bigger name in blues than Bobby "Blue" Band, who made his transition on Sunday, June 23, at the age of 83. And it is interesting to note that before he became a star himself, Bland worked as valet, chauffeur and opening act for King.
Bland had a unique voice and was noted for frequently tossing in a "squall shout" that became a trademark. He said he got the squall from listening to the sermons of Rev. C.L. Franklin, father of Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin. (Bland referred to him as "Aretha's daddy.")
Some of the greatest blues and rhythm & blues recordings of all time were those of Bobby "Blue" Bland. The lengthy list includes "I Pity the Fool," "This Time I'm Gone For Good," "Turn on Your Love Light," "Cry Cry Cry," "I'll Take Care of You," "Ain't Nothing You Can Do," "That's the Way Love Is" and "Share Your Love With Me."
From 1957 to 1985, Bland placed over 60 singles on the national charts.

These lovely Swissair cards are obviously based on Charles Eames House of Cards** from 1952 though he designed two sets of fifty-four cards each. The Swissair set I have has thirty-seven (so it doesn't seem complete) twenty-five with a white back and red logo the rest with a red back and white logo and I think they were designed in the late-fifties. The card size is 2.75 by 4 inches making them a bit bigger than the Eames cards.
The fold-out brochure was designed by Kurt Wirth in 1958. I've always thought it looked a wonderful example of Swiss design, busy yet very controlled in the way it displays the images and text. Over fifty years and still fresh and interesting.
**You can see the Picture deck of Eames House of Cards in the November 2012 archive.
