Tribeca Loft Condominium Case Sheds Light on Facade Easement … 0
11:56:34 |?2012-05-17
Loft apartments in TriBeCa
(New York, NY) ? Nestled below Canal Street in New York City; is the Tribeca North Historic District. This little corner of Manhattan not only holds a certain charm with its historic buildings and brownstones along every block, but according to Forbes it is also the seventh most expensive zip code in the country. In this high-priced real estate haven is the Cobblestone Loft Condominium; a building that has recently been at the center of controversy involving the NAT and the U.S. Tax Court.
The New York condominium building recently made a historical preservation easement donation after the building owners granted the easement to the National Architectural Trust (NAT). In an attempt to preserve the building?s current state, the facade easement deed prevented the Cobblestone Loft Condominium from doing any remodeling of the building facade without permission from the NAT. This included making any alterations to the building or doing any type of construction. In turn for their cooperation with the endeavor, the condominium owners were told that they could deduct around 10-15 % of the value of their high-end condominiums as a charitable contribution. The condo owners were also instruction to make charitable contributions to the NAT; this was to cover monitoring of the building as well as other associated fees.

At the time of the easement a valuation was made, stating that the easement was valued at over $8 million, or 12 percent of the appraised value of the Cobblestone Loft Condominiums. However, after the Tribeca condominium owners cooperated with the regulations put in place by the NAT; they quickly found that the U.S. Tax Court held the value of the easement at zero dollars; meaning all the deductions made were disallowed. The issue boiled down to a problem with adequate disclosure as petitioners did not complete all portions of the Forms 8283.
Eventually, throughout a lengthy process the Tax Court cut the taxpayers a break. However, the case did bring attention to these preservation initiatives. Particularly in cities like New York; property owners who wan?t to preserve a building in its present form, can make a great deal of money from a conservation easement. However, with the recent valuation issues brought to light with the Cobblestone Loft Condominium issue, New Yorkers are seeing that reading the instructions with these easements is extremely important as failing to do so can result in a significant loss of potential income.

‘Ring of Fire’ eclipse visible from China to Texas 0
LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Sunrises and sunsets often dazzle, but they’ll have a special ring to them in a few days for people in the western United States and eastern Asia: The moon will slide across the sun, blocking everything but a blazing halo of light.
It’s been almost two decades since a “ring of fire” eclipse was visible in the continental United States. To celebrate the end of that drought, nearly three dozen national parks in the path of the eclipse will host viewing parties.
The solar spectacle is first seen in eastern Asia at dawn Monday, local time. Weather permitting, millions of early risers in southern China, northern Taiwan and southeast Japan will be able to catch the ring eclipse. Then it creeps across the Pacific with the western U.S. viewing the tail end.
The late day sun will transform into a glowing ring in southwest Oregon, Northern California, central Nevada, southern Utah, northern Arizona and New Mexico and finally the Texas Panhandle where it will occur at sunset on Sunday. For 3 ? hours, the eclipse follows an 8,500-mile path. Viewing, from beginning to end, lasts about two hours. The ring phenomenon lasts as long as 5 minutes depending on location.
Outside this narrow band, parts of the West, Midwest and South ? and portions of Canada and Mexico ? will be treated to a partial eclipse. The Eastern Seaboard will be shut out, but people can log online to sites such as the Slooh Space Camera, which plans to broadcast the event live.
A ring eclipse ? technically called an annular solar eclipse ? is not as dramatic as a total eclipse, when the disk of the sun is entirely blocked by the moon. As in a total solar eclipse, the moon crosses in front of the sun, but the moon is too far from Earth and appears too small in the sky to blot out the sun completely.
“A bright ring around the sun at mid-eclipse is still pretty cool,” Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory said in an email.
Asia is abuzz over the event. In Japan, cable cars will run early to give tourists an unobstructed view from the mountains. Ferries will make special trips so that others can enjoy the scene offshore. The Taipei Astronomical Museum will open its doors at dawn while Hong Kong’s Space Museum will set up solar-filtered telescopes outside its building on the Kowloon waterfront.
The last time this type of eclipse was seen in the U.S. was in 1994. This year’s solar show offers ringside seats at 33 national parks along the eclipse path including the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon. A partial eclipse can be viewed from another 125 national parks.
For die-hard sky gazers, six U.S. locations will see the moon cover about 95 percent of the sun’s diameter. They include the Petroglyph National Monument, Redwoods National Park, Lassen Volcanic National Park, Canyon de Chelly National Monument, Zion National Park and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
Wherever you are, do not look directly at the eclipsed sun or you can get a serious eye injury. Wear specially made protective glasses that can be bought online or create your own contraption by punching a small pinhole in a cardboard box.
If you buy special eyewear, you can recycle it. Two weeks later, Venus will crawl across the face of the sun ? a rare occurrence known as the “transit of Venus” that will also require viewers to take precaution.
Veteran eclipse chaser Jay Pasachoff has traveled to remote corners of the globe to see the moon take a bite of the sun. This time, the Williams College astronomer will travel to New Mexico with his students to collect data.
Sunday’s event will be his 14th ring eclipse and 55th solar eclipse overall. So what does someone who has seen it all look forward to?
Seeing “the symmetry of a ring of sunlight around the dark silhouette of the moon,” Pasachoff said in an email.
The next ring eclipse won’t be visible in the U.S. for more than a decade ? October 2023.

University of Copenhagen
Baby galaxies from the young Universe more than 12 billion years ago evolved faster than previously thought, shows new research from the Niels Bohr Institute. This means that already in the early history of the Universe, there was potential for planet formation and life. The research results have been published in the scientific journal, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Letters.
For several thousand years after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, the Universe consisted of a hot, dense primordial soup of gases and particles. But the Universe was expanding rapidly and the primordial soup became less dense and cooled. However, the primordial soup was not evenly distributed, but was denser in some areas than others. The density in some of the densest areas increased due to gravity and began to contract, forming the first stars and galaxies. This took place approximately 500 million years after the Big Bang.
The earliest galaxies were probably comprised of primitive, giant stars that consisted of only hydrogen and helium. There were no heavier elements. They first appeared later in the evolution of the Universe, created by nuclear processes in the stars.
Cosmic cycle
A star is a giant ball of glowing gas that produces energy by fusing hydrogen and helium into heavier and heavier elements. When no more energy can be extracted the star dies and massive clouds of dust and gas are flung out into space. These large clouds are condensed and recycled into new stars in a gigantic cosmic cycle. The new stars that are formed will have a higher content of heavier elements than the previous and for each generation of star formation there are more and more of the heavy elements and metals. And heavy elements (especially carbon and oxygen) are necessary for the formation of planets and life, as we know it.
Up until now, researchers thought that it had taken billions of years for stars to form and with that, galaxies with a high content of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. But new research from the Niels Bohr Institute shows that this process went surprisingly quickly in some galaxies.
“We have studied 10 galaxies in the early Universe and analysed their light spectra. We are observing light from the galaxies that has been on a 10-12 billion year journey to Earth, so we see the galaxies as they were then. Our expectation was that they would be relatively primitive and poor in heavier elements, but we discovered somewhat to our surprise that the gas in some of the galaxies and thus the stars in them had a very high content of heavier elements. The gas was just as enriched as our own Sun,” explains Professor Johan Fynbo from the Dark Cosmology Centre at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen.
Lighthouses of the Universe
The galaxies are so far away that you normally do not have the opportunity to observe them directly, but the researchers have used a special method.
“There are some extreme objects in the Universe called quasars. Quasars are gigantic black holes that are active and when matter falls into them, they emit light that is as strong as thousands of galaxies. They are like a kind of lighthouse that lights up in the Universe and can be seen very far away,” explains Jens-Kristian Krogager, PhD student at the Dark Cosmology Centre at the Niels Bohr Institute, University Copenhagen. He explains that in order to use quasars as light sources the quasar must lie behind the galaxy you want to observe.
“We then look at the light from the quasar and can see that some light is missing. The missing quasar light in the image has been absorbed by the chemical elements in the galaxy in front of it. By analysing the spectral lines we can see which elements there are and by measuring the strength of each line we can see the amount of the elements,” explains Jens-Kristian Krogager.
Life in the early Universe
They discovered not only that the galaxies from the very early Universe had a surprisingly large quantity of heavier elements, but also that one of the galaxies in particular was especially interesting.
“For one of the galaxies, we observed the outer regions and here there was also a high element content. This suggests that large parts of the galaxy are enriched with a high content of heavier elements and that means that already in the early history of the Universe there was potential for planet formation and life,” says Johan Fynbo.

New Breast Cancer Awareness Event | TopNews United States 0
It has been recently revealed in a report that a breast cancer charity event was held really well, with a good sunny day setting to it. This was the new Y-Me race as well as walk, which was held in the Grant Park on Sunday. The organizers were worried that this event might be marred due to the bad publicity that another event for the same cause earned.
However, this wasn’t the case and the event was a major success. It was revealed that there were about 3000 people who attended the event and the CEO of Y-ME revealed that the number of people is more than last year. “But what [we] were not as sure of is that we met our goal of money and we think some of that could be attributed to all of the controversies in breast cancer community”, she added further.
There is need for more and more awareness to be spread in this regard so that they don’t have to face the disease in the long run. There is need for making more and more women aware about the need for preventing the disease so that they can ward off any possible occurrence of it in the time to come.

Kaspersky exec calls Mac OS ‘really vulnerable’ (update: clarification from Kaspersky) 0
The Macintosh is an impenetrable fortress of malware-free computing, right? In recent years, we’ve certainly seen that image eroded a bit, thanks to a number of nasty outbreaks. And if you listen to Nikolay Grebennikov, the CTO of security software maker Kaspersky, things have the potential to be much worse. The executive told British site Computing that the company was invited to improve Cupertino’s security, only to discover that, “Mac OS is really vulnerable.” Grebennikov also had some rather unfortunate news for all the iPad and iPhone owners out there, telling the site, “Our experience tells us that in the near future, perhaps in a year or so, we will see the first malware targeting iOS.”
Update: So, this is turning into a whole “he said, they pubbed” situation. We reached out to Kaspersky earlier and just received a comment from the security company, which claims that the whole thing was simply taken out of context. Here’s the statement. It’s a doozy.
On Monday, April 14, computing.co.uk published an article titled “Apple OS ‘really vulnerable’ claims Kaspersky Lab CTO” that includes an inaccurate quote regarding Apple and Kaspersky Lab. The article reports that Kaspersky Lab had “begun the process of analyzing the Mac OS platform at Apple’s request” to identify vulnerabilities. This statement was taken out of context by the magazine – Apple did not invite or solicit Kaspersky Lab’s assistance in analyzing the Mac OS X platform. Kaspersky Lab has contacted computing.co.uk to correct its article.
Please refer to the statement below from Nikolay Grebennikov, Chief Technology Officer, Kaspersky Lab, which clarifies this misrepresentation:
“As Mac OS X market share continues to increase, we expect cyber-criminals to continue to develop new types of malware and attack methods. In order to meet these new threats, Kaspersky Lab has been conducting an in-depth analysis of Mac OS X vulnerabilities and new forms of malware.
This security analysis of Mac OS X was conducted independently of Apple; however, Apple is open to collaborating with us regarding new Mac OS X vulnerabilities and malware that we identify during our analysis. Kaspersky Lab is committed to providing the highest level of security for all of our customers, including Mac OS X, and we will continue to enhance our technologies in order to meet the ever-changing threat landscape. “

Apple to drop Google Maps with the next iPhone? 0
Rumor has it that the next iPhone will eschew Google's Maps backend in favor of Apple's own. Rene over at iMore, who has a good handle on how the minds in Cupertino operate, has a great overview of Apple's supposed current strategy that you really should read to try to make sense out of this one. The short version — Apple wants to shed Google's services. Not because users have a problem using them, but because they don't want Google to profit. Instead of offering an additional choice with their own version of a maps app, they are just going to replace what users know and love with something that generates less profit for Google. Smart business move, but a pretty foul dump on the users.
They're going to need some real magic to pull this one off. In the current version, Apple builds the UI and Google provides the mapping data. Google is really good at mapping stuff. The rumored version-in-waiting is supposed to add a 3D view, becoming the new killer feature for the next version of iOS. The problem is, users don't care about 3D map view (or anything 3D on their mobile devices) — they care about features, ease-of-use, and integration. Apple can certainly take care of the integration part, and even give it some of that good old fashioned Apple magic in the UI department. But that still isn't going to cut it. Google has the one big thing™ when it comes to maps and navigation — search data.
When you tap the button and tell your phone to find 1313 Mockingbird Lane, there's this unfathomably huge pool of data Google has at it's disposal to populate that map. Need to know where the closest Starbucks is? Ask Siri, or just look at the Google Maps app. Apple can't replicate this without years of it's own data. Users will be left with an app with a pretty front-end, that's actually a step backwards in functionality. Apple will either have to offer a sub-par maps experience, or use Google anyway. And the first person who says Bing has to stay late and clean the chalkboard. That's two steps backwards.
Google creates the web services people want and use — even people with iPhones. This is a space where Apple is going to find it's difficult to compete, and fickle users may just look elsewhere. Of course, you'll find just as many bloggers telling tales of how great this is, and that Apple invented Maps. It's going to be interesting to watch this one play out.
