A former Microsoft executive plans to create the first U.S. national marijuana brand, with cannabis he hopes to eventually import legally from Mexico, and said he was kicking off his business by acquiring medical pot dispensaries in three U.S. states.
Jamen Shively, a former Microsoft corporate strategy manager, said he envisions his Seattle-based enterprise becoming the leader in both recreational and medical cannabis – much like Starbucks is the dominant name in coffee, he said.
Shively, 45, whose six years at Microsoft ended in 2009, said he was soliciting investors for $10 million in start-up money.
The use, sale and possession of marijuana remains illegal in the United States under federal law. Two U.S. states have, however, legalized recreational marijuana use and are among 18 states that allow it for medical use.
“It’s a giant market in search of a brand,” Shively said of the marijuana industry. “We would be happy if we get 40 percent of it worldwide.”

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) was the target of a self-proclaimed Ku Klux Klan member who is being accused of designing a portable X-ray weapon to target Muslims, the New York Daily News reports.
Glen Crawford, 49 — along with 54-year-old Eric Feight — was charged with conspiracy to provide support to terrorists with the weapon earlier this week.

They come in brightly colored, shiny packages in fun flavors like chocolate, blueberry, gummy bear, wine and pink berry. But the American Cancer Society says the little cigars and packages of loose tobacco are aimed at kids and are just as deadly as cigarettes.
The American Cancer Society is pushing to make New York the first state to enact a comprehensive restriction on the sale of candy- and fruit-flavored cigarillos, chewing tobacco and tobacco used in water pipes. Its proposal would restrict the sale of all fruit- and candy-flavored tobacco products to tobacco shops, banning those products from convenience stories.
Maine bans the sale of larger “premium” flavored cigars and other states including Maryland have proposed laws, according to the University of Maryland Law School. New York City and Providence, R.I., also have restricted the sale of flavored tobacco.

James Gandolfini has reportedly died while in Italy, according to Deadline.com.
According to the website, the “Sopranos” star was in the country for a film festival. Variety also initially reported that he suffered a fatal stroke, but both the trade site and Deadline.com updated the cause of death to a heart attack.
Gandolfini was 51 years old and is survived by a wife and two children. He became a household star for his portrayal of mob boss Tony Soprano on “The Sopranos,” a role which earned him three Emmys on six total nominations. “Absolutely stunned,” Chris Albrecht, the former chairman and CEO of HBO who greenlit “The Sopranos” told Deadline. “I got the word from [‘Sopranos’ star] Lorraine Bracco and just got off with [producer] Brad Grey who had just heard from [show creator] David Chase. We had all become a family. This is a tremendous loss.”

James Gandolfini has died at age 51.

Two months after a woman died after receiving butt-enhancement injections, police are ramping up their investigation of a West Miami-Dade strip mall beauty clinic.
Suyima Torres reportedly visited Cuerpos Health and Aesthetics in April for a $1,500 procedure in which an oily yellow substance was injected into each of her butt cheeks, according to court documents obtained by CBS4.
Weeks later, Torres underwent a second round of injections and soon thereafter felt dizzy, dying ten hours later, CBS4 reports.
Although her cause of death is still undetermined, Torres wouldn’t be the first South Floridian to risk their life for a larger behind.

How did the chicken lose its penis? By killing off the growing appendage in the egg.
That’s the finding of a new study, which reveals how most birds evolved to lose their external genitalia. Turns out, a particular protein released during the development of chickens, quail and most other birds nips penis development in the bud, according to the new research, published today (June 6) in the journal Current Biology.
The findings have implications for genital development in general, which is important because birth defects in the external genitalia are among the most common congenital defects in humans, said study researcher Martin Cohn, a developmental biologist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the University of Florida.

The chicken embryo develops the beginnings of a penis, but the growth of the organ halts and regresses before hatching.

What might humans look like in the distant future?
Nickolay Lamm, a Pittsburgh-based artist, has created four sci-fi-like illustrations showing one idea of what changes to the human genome may do to the human face 20,000 years, 60,000 years, and 100,000 years hence. The images are based on hypotheses put forth by Dr. Alan Kwan, an expert on computational genomics.

As the sun shutters the world, city lights crackle to life.
There’s a dancing curtain of aurora borealis. And stars seemingly swarming all around.
This is Earth, as seen from hundreds of kilometres away, by a handful of its most fortunate citizens.
We should all see the world from this vantage.
It may, in fact, do us a world of good.
“When we look down on the Earth from space, we see this indescribably beautiful planet,” says astronaut Ron Garan in a short documentary released at the end of last year called Overview. “It looks like a living, breathing organism. But it also at the same time looks extremely fragile.”

A top commander of a Nazi SS-led unit accused of burning villages filled with women and children lied to American immigration officials to get into the United States and has been living in Minnesota since shortly after World War II, according to evidence uncovered by The Associated Press.
Michael Karkoc, 94, told American authorities in 1949 that he had performed no military service during World War II, concealing his work as an officer and founding member of the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion and later as an officer in the SS Galician Division, according to records obtained by the AP through a Freedom of Information Act request. The Galician Division and a Ukrainian nationalist organization he served in were both on a secret American government blacklist of organizations whose members were forbidden from entering the United States at the time.
