What's the scam?
September 25, 2009 at 12:32 pm

Trying to bilk the Scientologists
Back on the morning of June 7, 1982, a man walked into the New York branch of the Middle East Bank on the 25th floor of a Madison Avenue office building and tried to deposit a $2 million check. The man, a native of the United Arab Emirates, left without completing the transaction.

Flashback_reservitz-scientology-main
An ad put out by the Scientology organization in 1986

This article originally appeared in the June 3. 1986 issue of the Boston Phoenix

Back on the morning of June 7, 1982, a man walked into the New York branch of the Middle East Bank on the 25th floor of a Madison Avenue office building and tried to deposit a $2 million check. The man, a native of the United Arab Emirates, left without completing the transaction.

The check, written on an E.F. Hutton money-market account handled by the Bank of New England, was a forgery. Although attempted bank fraud of that ilk is not particularly unusual, this particular incident triggered a complex, bizarre and, at times, vicious battle that shows no sign of abating nearly four years later.

The forged check had been written on the account of L. Ron Hubbard, reclusive founder of the Church of Scientology, who died last January. No one has ever been charged publicly with that attempted fraud, which Scientologists have come to regard as the most brazen of assaults on their religion and church. Some Scientologists believe that Boston lawyer Michael J. Flynn -- who has made something of a career out of suing the Church of Scientology -- was behind the scam.

Flynn vehemently denies any involvement with the bogus Hubbard check. And indeed, the accusation has always seemed preposterous. For even if the Hubbard check had been successfully deposited, it is far more likely that the Bank of New England (or, to be more precise, the bank's insurance company), and not L. Ron Hubbard, would have lost the money.

To gather evidence in the case, Scientologists offered a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the conviction of those who had tried to pass the bogus Hubbard check. And that reward offer produced results, though not necessarily what the Scientologists wanted. Among those who got portions of the reward were a con artist known as the Prince of Fraud, another man reputed to be an organized-crime figure, and a third character, who has since admitted involvement in the check scam -- Larry Joseph Reservitz.

Larry Reservitz is a former lawyer who was disbarred for bilking insurance companies on bogus car accidents and for cheating a client out of a fee. He then moved on to other vocations: forger, cardshark, Las Vegas gambler, friend to politicians and professional athletes, black-marketer, international fugitive, and, in his latest incarnation, a protected government witness.

Monthly Horoscopes

Monthly October Horoscopes 2009

October Horoscopes are available now

Monthly Horoscopes – October Horoscopes 2009

LEO Horoscopes (July 22 – August 22) Nobody enters a room in full sail quite like a Leo and this month you can dress it up because you will be on parade. The New and Full Moons are a huge plus for you. You may want to be cautious with spending with Jupiter opposing you in the sign of Aquarius. For those of you considering changing jobs or trading in the daily grind for your passion, now is the time to strike out for greener pastures. If there has been a positive to come out of the economic meltdown last year it is that life is too short to stay in a game you don't like. Go for it!

October Horoscopes

Published By Albert Clayton Gaulden

Every time the Sun goes into Libra I silently whisper, "Thank you God," because from late September until October 22nd we all get to be more even-handed and fair-minded because if we don't someone will come along to bite the hand that feeds them. Libra tells us to look at both sides of an issue and then put it to a vote. I would like to see all the Tea Party people come to the table and stop the rhetoric of division and destruction and find solutions rather than continue to be a jabberwocky of senseless nonsense. We will all have our chance to right the furniture and find the silver living in the firmament when Jupiter goes direct on October 12th at 17 degrees of Aquarius.

Mercury will go direct on September 30th—Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Say what you will about all the lessons we can learn with the review Mercury retrograde is here to teach us, but for me and my gray matter, I am looking for the benefits of Jupiter.

There is a Harvest Full Moon on Saturday, October 3rd at 11 degrees of Aries—which means that Fire Signs and Air Signs will benefit greatly. There will be a New Moon on Saturday, October 17th at 24 degrees of Libra, which again will benefit all Fire and Air Signs. A close friend of mine is getting married on October 3rd so the benefit of the Full Moon to him and his bride not only says the wait is over but the new life for them begins.

For the early birds, Saturn is going to move into the sign of Libra on October 12th, which will give mutable signs, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces and Gemini a break from the tough lessons Libra brings to us.

For those of you in a trial and error partnerships, whether a marriage, a love affair or a business alliance, this 30-day cycle is a "make or break" time. What needs to be finished will be and what can flourish will.

GARY DIRKS JOINS ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY
September 25, 2009 at 1:26 pm

<< Solar Power Laboratory >>

GARY DIRKS JOINS ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY TO LEAD LIGHTWORKS RESEARCH INITIATIVE

TEMPE, Ariz. " Arizona State University has selected Gary Dirks as director of LightWorks, a new initiative to position ASU as a leader in solar-based energy and other light-inspired research. Dirks is the former president of BP Asia-Pacific and BP China.

LightWorks will capitalize on ASU™s unique strengths in renewable energy fields including artificial photosynthesis, biofuels and next-generation photovoltaics. LightWorks will eventually broaden to include other light-based projects, such as lasers for biomedical applications and energy efficient lighting.

Gary Dirks will help position Arizona nationally and globally as a leader in renewable energy and light-based research, said ASU President Michael Crow. Gary™s broad range of experience will help us meet President Obama™s challenge to lead a green revolution and develop clean sources of energy.

Dirks received a Ph.D. in chemistry from ASU in 1980. He was the first doctoral student to work with Devens Gust, Thomas Moore and Ana Moore in ASU™s Center for the Study of Early Events in Photosynthesis (now the Center for Bioenergy and Photosynthesis).

Dirks went on to work in the energy industry as a researcher, strategic planner and ultimately president of BP China and BP Asia-Pacific. In China, Dirks grew BP from an operation with fewer than 30 employees and no revenue to more than 1,300 employees and revenues of about $4 billion in 2008.

What does that mean for ASU? It means we have somebody who respects and understands the academic enterprise, but also somebody who is very practically grounded in what works in the energy world. We have somebody who knows the energy environment not just nationally, but globally, said R. F. Rick Shangraw, ASU Vice President for Research and Economic Affairs.

I feel privileged to have been selected, said Dirks. As I explored the opportunity to direct LightWorks, I was struck by the depth and breadth of capability at ASU to apply light to big social challenges. When you combine the capability that ASU has, the social need and the very strong support from President Crow and his team, it makes a very attractive opportunity for my next career.

Dirks will provide the enhanced strategic focus needed to pursue major funding opportunities, including those in the competitive arena of federal stimulus grants. He will also facilitate collaborations with other universities, industry and government agencies.
He said his initial focus is to communicate ASU™s strengths and capabilities through the vehicle of LightWorks and to connect ASU with major sponsors and partners.

Dirks already is fully engaged. I am working on two large energy projects now, he said.
The first is a Department of Energy proposal to identify pathways to commercial production of liquid fuels from algae. We have more than 20 partners from across the country, and ASU is leading. The second project is in anticipation of Congressional support for the Department of Energy Hubs program, he said.

It is incredibly important to bring resources into Arizona that will fund jobs and create an environment for growing new companies, said Shangraw.

However, Shangraw added that Dirks will not neglect the importance of basic research.
We do not have all the answers, particularly in terms of renewable energy. We can™t simply take our existing science and convert it magically into commercial products. We still have a lot of basic research to do in this area to be successful in the long run, he said.

In addition to directing LightWorks, Dirks has been appointed the Julie Wrigley Chair of Sustainable Practices and a professor of practice in the School of Sustainability. He is also a member of the Global Institute of Sustainability board of trustees.

####

About LightWorks
LightWorks is an ASU initiative that builds on the depth and breadth of research advanced by natural or human-made light. The initiative is a multidisciplinary effort designed to provide solutions to societal challenges, such as providing clean, renewable energy.
LightWorks provides a framework for fostering collaboration, pursuing novel approaches and forming strong partnerships with industry, government agencies and other universities.

About Arizona State University
At once the youngest and the largest of the roughly 150 public and private research-grade universities in the nation, Arizona State University enrolls more than 69,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students on four campuses of equally high aspiration configured across metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona, a region negotiating societal and environmental challenges that anticipate coming trends worldwide. For the last seven years, ASU has served as America™s largest effort at institutional transformation in higher education, building a solution-focused institution that combines the highest level of academic excellence, inclusiveness to a broad demographic and maximum societal impact. Although the university is first and foremost committed to educating the students of Arizona, it is equally a discovery organization, focused on contributing to regional economic development through enhanced research and academic programs, including major interdisciplinary research initiatives focused on innovative solutions to the world™s greatest challenges. Through its educational and discovery missions, Arizona State University is producing the nation™s newest national assets.

2010 Acura ZDX hits right notes despite styling compromises

PHOTOS/AUDIO: Acura ZDX with Healey's comments
QUESTIONS? Ask them now for Healey's chat, 2 p.m. ET
Today's question:
Q: I really like the Audi A3 but it seems that every reviewer and car mag says save your money and buy a VW Golf. Does this theory hold true down the line? Buy a Jetta over an A4, Passat over an A6?
A: No. There's enough difference in Audi's execution that it's easy to see why a person might spend extra on the Audi. And the powertrains aren't always identical. Audis are just class-on-a-stick, and while VWs are pretty premium, they're just not in the same league. But it's also easy to see why a relatively budget-minded person would eschew Audis for VWs. Easy to argue both sides of that one. Check the JDPower and Consumer Reports scores on the specific models you're weighing.

The quick pace in 'Wet,' from Bethesda Softworks for the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3, keeps you on your toes while mastering gun-for-hire Rubi Malone's three main skills: acrobatics, gunplay and swordsmanship.
 
'Wet' drips style, but lacks substance

While chasing a thug through Chinatown's dingy back alleys, you run along brick walls, swing from balcony ledges and even slide down a ladder in slow-motion upside-down, no less while pegging off henchmen with your pistols. After taking down a few more bad guys with a razor-thin sword, you take a quick break from the pursuit to swig some whiskey, toss the bottle in the air and shoot a bullet through it. Read more

Monthly October Horoscopes 2009

October Horoscopes are available now

Monthly Horoscopes – October Horoscopes 2009

LEO Horoscopes (July 22 – August 22) Nobody enters a room in full sail quite like a Leo and this month you can dress it up because you will be on parade. The New and Full Moons are a huge plus for you. You may want to be cautious with spending with Jupiter opposing you in the sign of Aquarius. For those of you considering changing jobs or trading in the daily grind for your passion, now is the time to strike out for greener pastures. If there has been a positive to come out of the economic meltdown last year it is that life is too short to stay in a game you don't like. Go for it!

October Horoscopes

Published By Albert Clayton Gaulden

Every time the Sun goes into Libra I silently whisper, "Thank you God," because from late September until October 22nd we all get to be more even-handed and fair-minded because if we don't someone will come along to bite the hand that feeds them. Libra tells us to look at both sides of an issue and then put it to a vote. I would like to see all the Tea Party people come to the table and stop the rhetoric of division and destruction and find solutions rather than continue to be a jabberwocky of senseless nonsense. We will all have our chance to right the furniture and find the silver living in the firmament when Jupiter goes direct on October 12th at 17 degrees of Aquarius.

Mercury will go direct on September 30th—Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Say what you will about all the lessons we can learn with the review Mercury retrograde is here to teach us, but for me and my gray matter, I am looking for the benefits of Jupiter.

There is a Harvest Full Moon on Saturday, October 3rd at 11 degrees of Aries—which means that Fire Signs and Air Signs will benefit greatly. There will be a New Moon on Saturday, October 17th at 24 degrees of Libra, which again will benefit all Fire and Air Signs. A close friend of mine is getting married on October 3rd so the benefit of the Full Moon to him and his bride not only says the wait is over but the new life for them begins.

For the early birds, Saturn is going to move into the sign of Libra on October 12th, which will give mutable signs, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces and Gemini a break from the tough lessons Libra brings to us.

For those of you in a trial and error partnerships, whether a marriage, a love affair or a business alliance, this 30-day cycle is a "make or break" time. What needs to be finished will be and what can flourish will.

GARY DIRKS JOINS ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY

GARY DIRKS JOINS ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY TO LEAD LIGHTWORKS RESEARCH INITIATIVE

TEMPE, Ariz. " Arizona State University has selected Gary Dirks as director of LightWorks, a new initiative to position ASU as a leader in solar-based energy and other light-inspired research. Dirks is the former president of BP Asia-Pacific and BP China.

LightWorks will capitalize on ASU™s unique strengths in renewable energy fields including artificial photosynthesis, biofuels and next-generation photovoltaics. LightWorks will eventually broaden to include other light-based projects, such as lasers for biomedical applications and energy efficient lighting.

Gary Dirks will help position Arizona nationally and globally as a leader in renewable energy and light-based research, said ASU President Michael Crow. Gary™s broad range of experience will help us meet President Obama™s challenge to lead a green revolution and develop clean sources of energy.

Dirks received a Ph.D. in chemistry from ASU in 1980. He was the first doctoral student to work with Devens Gust, Thomas Moore and Ana Moore in ASU™s Center for the Study of Early Events in Photosynthesis (now the Center for Bioenergy and Photosynthesis).

Dirks went on to work in the energy industry as a researcher, strategic planner and ultimately president of BP China and BP Asia-Pacific. In China, Dirks grew BP from an operation with fewer than 30 employees and no revenue to more than 1,300 employees and revenues of about $4 billion in 2008.

What does that mean for ASU? It means we have somebody who respects and understands the academic enterprise, but also somebody who is very practically grounded in what works in the energy world. We have somebody who knows the energy environment not just nationally, but globally, said R. F. Rick Shangraw, ASU Vice President for Research and Economic Affairs.

I feel privileged to have been selected, said Dirks. As I explored the opportunity to direct LightWorks, I was struck by the depth and breadth of capability at ASU to apply light to big social challenges. When you combine the capability that ASU has, the social need and the very strong support from President Crow and his team, it makes a very attractive opportunity for my next career.

Dirks will provide the enhanced strategic focus needed to pursue major funding opportunities, including those in the competitive arena of federal stimulus grants. He will also facilitate collaborations with other universities, industry and government agencies.
He said his initial focus is to communicate ASU™s strengths and capabilities through the vehicle of LightWorks and to connect ASU with major sponsors and partners.

Dirks already is fully engaged. I am working on two large energy projects now, he said.
The first is a Department of Energy proposal to identify pathways to commercial production of liquid fuels from algae. We have more than 20 partners from across the country, and ASU is leading. The second project is in anticipation of Congressional support for the Department of Energy Hubs program, he said.

It is incredibly important to bring resources into Arizona that will fund jobs and create an environment for growing new companies, said Shangraw.

However, Shangraw added that Dirks will not neglect the importance of basic research.
We do not have all the answers, particularly in terms of renewable energy. We can™t simply take our existing science and convert it magically into commercial products. We still have a lot of basic research to do in this area to be successful in the long run, he said.

In addition to directing LightWorks, Dirks has been appointed the Julie Wrigley Chair of Sustainable Practices and a professor of practice in the School of Sustainability. He is also a member of the Global Institute of Sustainability board of trustees.

About Arizona State University
At once the youngest and the largest of the roughly 150 public and private research-grade universities in the nation, Arizona State University enrolls more than 69,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students on four campuses of equally high aspiration configured across metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona, a region negotiating societal and environmental challenges that anticipate coming trends worldwide. For the last seven years, ASU has served as America™s largest effort at institutional transformation in higher education, building a solution-focused institution that combines the highest level of academic excellence, inclusiveness to a broad demographic and maximum societal impact. Although the university is first and foremost committed to educating the students of Arizona, it is equally a discovery organization, focused on contributing to regional economic development through enhanced research and academic programs, including major interdisciplinary research initiatives focused on innovative solutions to the world™s greatest challenges. Through its educational and discovery missions, Arizona State University is producing the nation™s newest national assets.
