Local art patron Deborah Shelton-Tynes saw CBS4’s exclusive story and offered her two condos as a venue for the artists. The artists started moving their art work to the new location at 1100 Biscayne Boulevard early Saturday afternoon.

The condo is already the site of a video art show, Ivory Tower, which was scheduled to close at 6 p.m. but hours have been extended until 10 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

CBS4 was first told that around 5 p.m. Friday, the doors were going to open for the Pool Art Fair 2011. But, Miami Beach Police and city officials shut down the event and the hotel.

Artists who spent thousand of dollars to display their art were sent packing.

“Drove from New York; it’s not like we can say, ‘Okay, we’re going to another hotel’,” said artist Leopold Vazquez. “We’re on the street right now.”

“I have to start driving back, because it’s Art Basel week and there are no hotels,” said Marina Reiter.

That’s just the beginning of the story though.

According to the Miami Beach officials, the event was shut down because the event organizers didn’t have a special events permit.

In addition, according to Miami Beach officials, the owners are operating the Sadigo Court Hotel illegally and have no permit for the building to be a hotel.

The city has been issuing a cease and desist order for the hotel since September 23rd. But, according to city officials, every time the red note is put on the door; the hotel takes it down and keeps operating.

That led to the hotel’s owner, Rod Eisenberg, being arrested Friday night for obstructing the cease and desist order.

CBS4’s Gio Benitez learned that the artists who were taking part in the art fair paid thousands of dollars directly to the event organizer and have not been given any of their money back yet.

“We’ve all paid money in advance, for the venue, and now it’s like everyone’s going to be out of money,” said artist Sandy Van Iderstine, who flew in from Canada.

Another Canadian, Richard Fogarty, said artists paid $3,000 to get a spot in the fair.

The event’s organizer, Thierry Alet, said he’s going to be liable and responsible for all of the money.

“We will work it out with every artists and on a case-by-case basis and see how we can accommodate or somehow make it up to the artist, or course,” said Alet.

Still, the artists are not buying the fact that no one knew what was going on.

“That’s something that he should have known,” said Tony Peralta who drove in from New York. “He should have known about the violations. And I guess the hotel should have shared.”

MIAMI (CBS4) – The accused fake doctor who allegedly injected people with Fix-a-Flat and cement is talking and she has a very different story from her accusers.

Oneal Ron Morris denied the allegations in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

Several accusers have come forward saying they paid Morris hundreds of dollars to enhance their bodies with, what they thought was silicone. But police say the injections they got landed them in the emergency room.

“This is my first and last interview,” Morris told ET. “They didn’t catch me doing anything. So they are just allegations. So I’m innocent. I really am innocent or whatever.”

[worldnow id=6505165 width=385 height=288 type=video]

Morris was born a man, but now lives as a woman. Police say she also dramatically enhanced her own body.

“It sounds bizarre, but how could America feel like a person would even put cement in somebody’s bottom, you know it’s just these allegations, I didn’t do any of these things to these people, just know these people who are lying are ruining my life, that’s all I have to say,” said Morris.

Raji Narinesingth says Morris’ injections damaged her face, but she says she was too afraid to go to police. She too was born a man.

“It becomes so dire for your to want to match your outside with your inside, that you’re willing to roll the dice and take chances,” said Narinesingth.

“They keep on lying, but you know the truth will prevail, and you know that’s why we have courts and stuff like that,” said Morris.

Morris is charged with practicing medicine without a license but denies that she’s a doctor imposter.

“If anybody’s the victim, it’s definitely me,” she said.

Police say Morris had an accomplice in all of this. That person, Corey Eubank, has also been charged with practicing medicine without a license. They are both free on bond.

Police suspect that Morris is part of a network of scam artists who prey on people who want to change their appearance but can’t afford to pay for traditional cosmetic surgery.

Police said Morris may have other victims that may be afraid to come forward. They urge any potential victims, or anyone with more information on Morris, to call Miami Gardens Police at 305-474-1420.

The exhibition included a $7 million California Passo Corto, an $8 million Berlinetta, a $12 million 1957 Testarossa, and the brand new 458 Spider which can reach speeds up to 198 mph.

$100 million worth of Ferraris were sitting at the now famous South Beach parking garage, 1111 Lincoln Road. A building largely considered a work of art was, for one night, housing many new expensive pieces.

[worldnow id=6501067 width=385 height=288 type=video]

“I think Ferrari is a masterpiece,” said Neit Ojeda, a Ferrari enthusiast.

Ojeda says he can’t get enough of the look and feel of the car. Neither can Joseph Herman.

“If my wife would allow me, I would cut a hole in my garage and drive it right into my living room so that I can look at it every day,” said Herman.

“It is a piece of art. It also has a soul. See, a Ferrari is more than a car,” said Eric Giglione, an insurance agency executive who says he wants to buy a 458 Spider. “So that’s why I’m here to celebrate what obviously is a showcase of what we’re capable of producing when we dream.”

The event was invitation-only, so part of the invite was that people had to drive their own Ferraris into the parking garage.

“If it’s too good to be true, it really is,” said Assistant Special Agent in Charge Carmen Pino, who heads up Homeland Security Investigations in Miami.

[worldnow id=6497226 width=385 height=288 type=video]

Pino says, during tough economic times, people turn to little-known websites.

“And they’ll see a price that’s unbelievable! And they’ll say, I’ve gotta have it,” said Pino.

But, he says, what they get is a fake product. One of the site shut down claimed you can buy NFL jerseys at 66% off. Other sites were selling fake Puma shoes, bogus Louis Vuitton bags, even phony Oakley sunglasses. Pino says the scam affects us all

“You are going and you are hurting American businesses, and ultimately hurting American workers, because you potentially are buying counterfeit product that could take a job away from an American,” said Pino.

When the feds shut down one of these websites, oftentimes they find more websites.

“It’s kind of like a domino effect. Once you take one down, you see six, seven, eight others that they might have been operating,” said Pino.

Pino says it’s lucrative, because it’s easy.

“So rather than selling drugs or moving guns, which exposes them to police sources, this is an easy way for them to make huge amounts of profits,” said Pino.

Before making a purchase, check for a contact page on the website. You’ll want to look for a real phone number or a physical address. Most legitimate stores will take calls.

Also, if the website has any misspellings, the Feds say that’s a red flag.

When Perdomo was 41-years old she was diagnosed with breast cancer in her left breast. She underwent chemotherapy, a mastectomy on her left breast, was cancer free for 13 years.

[worldnow id=6484843 width=385 height=288 type=video]

In 2005, she developed breast cancer in her right breast and had chemotherapy. The treatment damaged her heart and led to congestive heart failure leaving her with 20% heart function. She was discharged home with medication.

In December 2010, she started to feel very ill. Doctors told her that even with medication her heart function had decreased to just 8% and that she was dying. Perdomo needed a heart transplant before her organs shut down. That year she spent Christmas and New Years in the hospital, kept alive by drip medication.

On January 7, 2011, she was transferred to the University of Miami Hospital where she qualified the transplant list and mechanical heart called a left ventricular assist device or LVAD. In February she was transferred to Jackson Memorial Hospital where she had the LVAD implanted. When she was released from the hospital nine days later Perdomo weighed only 90 pounds.

Perdomo continued to recover and her weight went up to 142 pounds. On the Friday before Eater she received a call that a possible heart had been found. Unfortunately, it was not a good match and had a high rate of rejection.

On November 11th a second heart became available. The following day Perdomo underwent a heart transplant. Ten days later, on the eve of Thanksgiving, Perdomo left the hospital in time to spend Thanksgiving Day with her family, thankful for a new lease on life and more time with those she loves.

One woman in Southwest Miami-Dade says she wants to be the first to get her hands on the bargains and has a good reason for doing it three days early.

“You want what you want, you better be number one,” said Ana Giaras, who pitched a tent right in front of the Best Buy store on Bird Road.

She says she’s done this every year since her kids were about five, but this year, she says getting a good deal is important.

Ana lost her banking job in June. She works part-time. Her husband, Michael, is unemployed. But they still want to give their teenagers good gifts.

“It’s a certain, like, oh my god, I waited all this time and I got it,” said Ana.

If you think they’re uncomfortable, not quite. They’ve got a pretty good bed inside the tent, some food, some drinks, and even some Oreo cookies.

“Plus I have my daughter’s panda bear, to keep me company,” said Ana.

She also has her husband of 22 years.

“She’s constantly looking for the best deal. Constantly. Money or no money,” said Michael Giaras.

Michael will often stay behind so Ana could go home to shower. He’ll admit, it’s a little bizarre, but, “she needs support on this. This is my Christmas present to her,” he said.

Shoppers walking by have something to say.

“I mean, they want to get a good buy! Go for it,” said shopper Renee Penrod.

“I think it’s interesting. More power to them. I hope they get whatever they want,” said shopper Amanda Gancedo.

“Everybody has there opinion. So have a nice day,” said Michael.

“Family is number one and to make your family happy, however it may be, with whatever little money you may have, you have to make it happen and make sacrifices. That’s what it’s all about. It’s for the family,” said Ana.

One of the kids, 10-year-old Nubia, ended up dead in the back of Jorge Barahona’s truck.

If you look closely at the photographs, you can see the same religious icons in every room of the house, even in the kids’ rooms.

[worldnow id=6470687 width=385 height=288 type=video]

Most prominent, a photo of the Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth said to have covered the body of a crucified man. Many believe it’s the face of Jesus marked by blood.

“The image of the Shroud of Turin, which is really bloody, is important in terms of the degree of morbidity in the minds of this couple,” explained Daniel Alvarez, Professor of Religious Studies at Florida International University.

Alvarez examined the Barahona images with CBS4′s Gio Benitez.

He told Benitez that some people become fascinated with the idea of sacrifice, no matter the religion.

“They associate suffering, and blood, and dying with something redemptive and valuable in itself,” said Alvarez.

The professor also noticed a photo of the barricaded front doors, where, under the wooden bar, an image of the Virgin Mary is visible above the doors, the words “With God all things are possible.”

Professor Alvarez wondered if the Barahonas believed they were keeping out evil forces by displaying icons.

“I know this sounds incredible, perhaps, to the viewers, but that’s what happens when the psychology of religion gets explored, and religion goes off the deep end,” explained Alvarez.

But it’s not just what’s on the walls. In family photos obtained by investigators, the children, and even the Barahonas all make the same hand gesture.

“The point is this: this is not spontaneous,” declared Dr. Harley Stock, a forensic psychologist. “These kids have been programmed to send a message that so far, nobody can interpret, except the parents.”

Though nobody knows exactly what it (the gesture) is, Professor Alvarez has an idea.

“Some of the research I did points to a symbol in the Serbian Orthodox Church, a branch of the Eastern church. It’s supposed to be the trinity,” Alvarez told Benitez. “A belief that the father, the son, and the holy ghost are one. They’re following orders, they’re following structure, they’re letting them know, we’re submissive, we’re obeying you, we’re under your thumb.”

“It’s to establish control over those kids,” said Dr. Stock.

“This is how you show, you not only respect me, but you submit to my authority, and you’re holding the right beliefs. you have the right view of the world, and we’re giving it to you, and if you deviate from that view, there’s going to be hell to pay,” said FIU’s Alvarez.

Both experts said the images themselves aren’t necessarily strange, there are perfectly normal families with the same icons in their homes.

But Professor Alvarez indicated that what could be dangerous, is the Barahona’s own interpretation of their religion.

Jorge and Carmen Barahona are locked up awaiting trial. They have both been charged with murder and aggravated child abuse.

In one video, a teen huffs, then falls to the ground drooling.

“You’re drooling like a baby,” one teen says.

“Once one kid is talking to another kid about getting high on freon, they’re talking about getting high. They just became members of the Get High club,” said Dr. Marino Carbonell, a psychotherapist in Miami.

[worldnow id=6453811 width=385 height=288 type=video]

Dr. Carbonell has specialized in juvenile substance abuse in South Florida for 22 years. He has treated several teens who were addicted to freon. he says they were driven by online videos. “The people on the internet are saying, nah your parents don’t know what they’re talking about. Look at this. Look at this video,” said Dr. Carbonell.

Kids aren’t just stealing the freon and taking it somewhere else. Dr. Carbonell says they are using it to get high right on rooftops. “So these kids were going with a garbage bag, and they were going unit to unit, taking the freon from the thing, and they were putting the bags around their heads. And they were seven stories in the air,” said Dr. Carbonell.

The American Association of Poison Control says more than 2,000 teens went to the hospital for huffing freon in 2009. Two died.

“Huffing is a game of Russian roulette,” said mother Gail Henry, who says her son died huffing freon. Her 18-year-old son was found dead next to an air conditioning unit with a bag over his head.

“Huffing affects everybody in your family and all your friends because when it does kill you, they have to live on,” said Henry.

So what are the obvious signs that a teen may be huffing?

Dr. Carbonell says the teen may be getting up tired and could have burn marks on the face. “When you see these things, don’t be afraid to confront your child. A lot of parents are afraid to ask, what are you doing? Sometimes when you do that, the kid automatically tells you what they’re doing, because they don’t think they’re doing something wrong,” said Dr. Carbonell.

“No other city has this! This is Miami,” declared a wedding guest.

The “this” is 1111 Lincoln Road, a parking garage to some, others called it a retail space.

[worldnow id=6452334 width=385 height=288 type=video]

Robert Wennett is the developer. “It’s really a unique destination.”

Wennett sees the parking garage as the beginning of an architectural revolution on Miami Beach. He hired the architect firm Herzog and De Meuron to transform the corner of Alton and Lincoln Road which is also the west entrance to Lincoln Road.

“A parking garage is a very static  object. It’s really a warehouse for cars. And that wasn’t our concept.  Our concept was that this building  was constantly in motion,” said Wennett

Some recent events at the location include a Sunday morning Master Yoga class, a Halloween party with spectacular 360-degree views of the city from above Lincoln Road. Movies and TV shows are regularly shot here, and of course the wedding.

“I’ll be honest with you, a lot of people  hear parking garage, they’re mesmerized, they don’t know what they’re going to come into,” said Event Planner Corinne Abuarem.

“So we kind of twist people’s  imagination, to think about space in  a different way,” explained Wennett.

Wennett’s not alone. Super-star architects have their sights on Miami Beach.

World-class architect Zaha Hadid, who is based in London, is the designer behind some of the most futuristic designs of our time, such as the Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Center. Now she’s designing a $12.5 million dollar destination parking garage at Collins Park.

Then there’s LA-based architect Frank Gehry, known for extreme details and  designer of the famed Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. He’s also the brains behind the New World Center on Miami Beach, home to the New World Symphony.

There is also the local firm Arquitectonica, designer of resorts like  “The City of Dreams” in Macau, China.

In Miami Beach, the firm is designing a 30,000 square foot, mixed use garage at Sunset Harbour.

“So the New World Symphony, 1111,  Zaha coming and building a parking  garage, all of these are extremely  important for the evolution of the  city,” said Wennett.

Wennett says the idea is to give people the space to use their imaginations.

“We’re evoking emotion out of people,” said Wennett. “And we’re getting them to think about space in different ways.”

You could see a birthday party, Halloween costumes, and kids are carnival rides, but look closer.

“Somebody is asking this little girl to smile. And she is smiling, but on the inside, she is not smiling,” said family therapist Jo Ann Lederman.

[worldnow id=6442383 width=385 height=288 type=video]

Lederman analyzed photos of the Barahona family obtained from the state’s evidence file. Where you may see a happy family, she sees pain.

“It’s not a surprise to me that there was a big problem,” she said.

She pays close attention to Nubia, the ten-year-old girl found dead in the back of her adoptive father’s truck on Valentine’s Day. Police say Nubia’s adoptive parents, Jorge and Carmen Barahona, killed her.

“If you look at her eyes, they’re dull. They’re not the sparkle of joy and happiness. The tightness of her skin,” she said.

Nubia’s twin brother Victor is also here, but the state concealed his face and the faces of other children to protect their identities.

“This little girl is being asked to perform something that’s uncomfortable for her,” said Lederman.

Nubia also appears at the Miami-Dade children’s court receiving a teddy bear from CBS4′s Neighbors 4 Neighbors Adopt-a-Bear program, created to help heal abused and traumatized children.

“This picture is very painful,” said Lederman. “Because they were in front of the system, and there was opportunity for life-saving.”

Lederman also looked at adoptive mother Carmen Barahona.

“There was something dark in her face,” she said.

And she looked at Jorge Barahona at a birthday party for Victor and Nubia.

“He’s got some kind of a smile. But [it's] hard. It’s not soft. There’s no crinkling in the eyes. There’s no joy in him,” she said.

Ironically, in the same photo, Lederman says she sees that Nubia is incredibly happy at her birthday party, perhaps seeking a sliver or joy.

“I would like to think that there were intermittent moments of normal,” she said.

“He was entertaining, but he was also  private and quiet and had a serious side,” Debra Martinez told CBS4′s Gio Benitez.

And with that serious side came some dark secrets, secrets that his widow claims, killed him.

“I just wish he was here,” said Martinez.

[worldnow id=6437954 width=385 height=288 type=video]

Alex was a South Florida nurse for decades. But he had a problem.

“He drank a six-pack a day,” explained his wife.

In July 2009, Debra says the hospital he worked for placed him in an addiction treatment program. He spent six days there.

On July 21st, 2009, just one week after his release, Alex took a gun he had at home and shot himself in the head.

“And I just  begged him to reach out to somebody,” said Martinez. “Talk to somebody.”

Debra heard him talk about suicide before. She tells me about a phone call she got months before his death.

“He had told me that he was driving, on an exit ramp, and he just wanted  to go over, you know? Just keep  going,” she told Benitez as she began to cry.

Debra says the treatment center never asked about that incident. Did they ask if Alex owned a gun?

“Nobody asked me, nobody asked him,” said Martinez.

“There’s these classic signs and  symptoms, and they were there, they  just weren’t seen until it was too  late,” said attorney Spencer Aronfeld who represents Debra in a lawsuit against the treatment center and hospital.

“If there’s access to a firearm, the family members need to be asked about  this as well,” Aronfeld insisted.

And Florida legislators are talking about the issue right now.

This June, Governor Rick Scott signed the Firearm Owners Privacy Act into law, restricting doctors from asking patients about guns. Benitez sat down with Governor Scott.

“That bill allows doctors to ask if they’re concerned about the patients safety or health,” the Governor told Benitez.

But doctors disagree and went on the attack.

The Journal of the American Medical Association called it censorship of the patient-physician relationship.

The American Academy of Family Physicians says an open conversation about guns at any time is important. In a statement they had this to say:

“Firearms education has been shown to decrease the likelihood of unintentional injury or death.”

Said Governor Scott, “First of all, we need to deal with the fact that we have a right to bear arms in this country with the Second Amendment, and so we try to make sure you have that right.”

In September, a twist. A Federal judge blocked the law saying that doctors had a constitutional right to ask about guns.

Governor Scott has said he’d appeal that decision.

Meanwhile, Debra said her husband’s case is a clear example of what could happen if medical professionals can’t ask certain questions.

“All I know is that when somebody comes out of treatment for an issue  like alcohol, they should be helped.  Not come out of it and die,” insisted Martinez.

CBS4 News partners Univision say the video was shot by an unidentified police officer, allegedly last Thursday on the Florida Turnpike and given to the press.

It appears to be a direct response to the video leaked last month of FHP Trooper Donna Watts pulling over and briefly detaining Miami Police officer Fausto Lopez at gunpoint for reckless driving while he sped to an off-duty job.

FHP Trooper’s Radio Calls Over Speeding Cop

[worldnow id=6433595 width=385 height=288 type=video]

Law enforcement sources say that incident caused major friction between the agencies, and the new video of the speeding troopers appears to be the latest in the slugfest.

Miami Police Chief Calls For End To Retaliatory Acts

Complete Coverage Of Miami Police & FHP Dispute

FHP Union President Bill Smith told CBS4′s Natalia Zea that his agency would investigate the speeding troopers, if the officer who shot the video would come forward with more information.

“Are your guys being targeted on the street by other officers?” Zea asked Trooper Smith.

“Well you start to get that feeling. You start to get that impression because troopers are not going out looking for police officers in marked cars or unmarked cars, that’s not our goal,” said Trooper Smith.

New Traffic Stop Adds To Tension Between Police & FHP

Rumors of street cops giving payback to FHP troopers abound, and in at least one case an FHP patrol car was vandalized.

Over the weekend, Miami City Commissioner-turned-trooper Joe Sanchez left his Miami home and later discovered his patrol car had human excrement all over the windshield and the side of the car.   Click Here To See The Pictures
It appeared to have come from a Port-O-Potty.

“I think it’s just some disgruntled employees of other agencies, hopefully it’s not the City of Miami, I don’t know,” said Trooper Smith, adding that the incident is still under investigation.

Despite this brewing battle, Trooper Smith says everyone behind a badge will help each other when it counts.

“They might glare at each other but I really honestly think they’ll be back there to back each other up.”

The new information came from Carmen Barahona. It comes on the heels of disturbing new pictures from inside the house, which were released Wednesday.

The map was not designed on a computer , but instead, drawn by the hand of the woman now charged with murder and aggravated child abuse.

Prosecutors said Carmen Barahona drew the hand-written map for investigators after police discovered her adopted daughter’s body.

[worldnow id=6417891 width=385 height=288 type=video]

The map of the Barahona home appears to outline where the adopted children, 10-year-olds Victor and Nubia, were abused before police found Nubia’s body in the back of Jorge Barahona’s truck on Valentine’s Day.

Jorge Barahona is Carmen Barahona’s husband.

The map also takes investigators room-by-room, each area initialized with “CB” for Carmen Barahona.

Carmen Barahona described how both children being tied up in the kitchen, and tape was found all over the house.

The map shows that Nubia and Victor had a time-out area in the laundry room and another room appeared to be a time out area for Nubia alone.

The document also showed the blood — presumably Nubia’s blood in room after room.

The there’s the master bedroom. Carmen Barahona appeared to have detailed on which side of the bed she and her husband slept.

On Jorge Barahona’s side, she drew figures. One has an “X.” Police said Nubia was beaten to death in that room.

Carmen and Jorge Barahona are now awaiting trial. They both face murder and aggravated child abuse charges, but pleaded not guilty.

For all Barahona related stories, click here.

It was this past valentine’s day when police discovered a truck along I-95 in West Palm Beach. Inside the truck were Jorge Barahona and his 10-year-old adopted son, Victor. Both were alive but Victor had bad chemical burns.

In the back of the truck, police found the decomposing body of Victor’s twin sister, Nubia.

[worldnow id=6413732 width=385 height=288 type=video]

Now, for the first time, we are getting a look inside the Barahona home, where police say the two children were beaten and abused.

This bathtub in the Barahona home is where prosecutors say Jorge and Carmen Barahona abused their adopted children Nubia and Victor. (Source: Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office)

Police photographed the bathtub where investigators say the Barahonas tied up the children. Police say the adoptive parents kept Victor and Nubia locked in the bathroom for days.

We also see little Nubia’s bedroom, decorated in pink and green, with stuffed animals everywhere.

The photos were shot just two days after police discovered Nubia’s body.

Investigators paid close attention to the stains on the mattress, and in one instance, even cut out a piece for evidence.

The photos also show a child’s stained shirt, and more stains on the floor in what appears to be the Barahona bedroom.

Police say Nubia was beaten to death in the Barahona bedroom as Victor listened to her screaming and crying until she was dead.

Police also found rolls of tape throughout the house. Prosecutors say the children’s hands and feet were regularly bound with tape.

Investigators also photographed a child protection pamphlet, nearly two dozen soda bottles, and a red tank.

And right at the entrance to the house: barricade doors. The words above the door read, “with God, all things are possible.”

“We’re going to turn gummy bears into vodka gummy bears,” said one young woman on YouTube.

A quick search of YouTube found dozens of videos showing exactly how.

“We need vodka,” the girl tells YouTube viewers.

Doctors don’t like it.

“Alcohol is an acquired taste, it’s not something we initially gravitate towards,” said Dr. Judy Schaechter, associate chair of Pediatrics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

She says a sweet tooth can lead to a dangerous relationship with alcohol early in life.

“So our taste buds are designed to welcome in things that have a taste of sugar, that taste sweet. Alcohol doesn’t,” Dr. Schaechter told CBS4′s Gio Benitez.

Unless that flavor is disguised by a sweet, sugary candy, and it’s that disguise that worries law enforcement. Why would police ever pay attention to kids eating candy?

“I wouldn’t have thought of that,” said Eva Duehring, who said this is new to her, but not unexpected.

“It doesn’t surprise me. Kids will come up with anything,” said mother Stephanie Cassidy.

But what’s the solution?

“I’m not saying we get rid of gummy bears kids will switch to gummy worms or something else,” said Dr. Schaechter.

Dr. Schaechter says it should make you think about what your kids are doing, and perhaps even spend more time with them.

“The best protection that your kids have is time with you,” she said.

Because a little time is all it takes to make the wrong decision.

CBS4 News spoke with CNET Associate Editor Sharon Vaknin about the problem. A security firm, Sophos, revealed the issue this week and CNET confirmed it.

“By activating Siri, I was able to access my calendar, contacts, addresses, phone numbers, I could send a text message and emails too,” said Vaknin. “You do have to make a decision here. Do you want the convenience of quickly accessing Siri while your phone is locked? Or do you want to protect your personal data?”

Let’s say you’re driving. If you need to respond to a quick text with your voice, you only have to hit one button rather than unlock the phone altogether.

But if you want to protect your data, there’s a quick fix.

“To get to the fix, all you have to do is get to your general settings, the passcode lock settings, then just turn off that Siri option,” said Vaknin.

That’s it, just turn it off. Apple did not make that the default setting. But now you know.

Severe weather and tornado warnings plagued most of South Florida Tuesday night, forcing people to take shelter in their homes to ride out the fast moving storms.

CBS4′s Gio Benitez arrived at a home near the intersection of 133rd Avenue and Northwest 8th Street which sustained a partially torn off roof, damaged garage door, several broken windows and scattered debris. Officials believe the damage to the home was the result of a direct tornado hit.

The National Weather Service will need to determine if that was the case.

[worldnow id=6363772 width=385 height=288 type=video]

The weather set up had become apparent earlier in the day when a tornado watch was issued for all of South Florida.

Conditions remain favorable for more thunderstorms and possible tornadoes and a tornado watch remains in effect for South Florida through 6:00 a.m. Wednesday.

The copper crook was caught on surveillance video at the Healthy Children Medical Clinic on the 1400 block of Northwest 20th Street.

The man is seen taking apart an air conditioning system to apparently steal the copper inside. He’s calm because he doesn’t seem to realize every movement is captured on camera.

[worldnow id=6358445 width=385 height=288 type=video]

A few minutes into the crime, the suspect see the camera, and hits it hoping to break the lens.

“It was kind of scary,” said Dr. Isidro Lopez, who runs the clinic. “I’m glad we were not here at the office because it could be something different.”

One of Perez’s medical assistants, Elba Roche, discovered the damage when she opened the clinic this morning. The thief got away with most of the copper from the unit, rendering the air conditioner unusable.

“It’s a shame that after 15 years in this community, I have to go through this,” said Dr. Lopez.

Patients showing up for their appointments were welcomed by a hot and sticky environment. Because of the conditions at the clinic, some sick children may be forced to go to the emergency room for treatment.

“It’s terrible. It’s terrible,” said mother Brenda Villafana. “Thank god they’re going to fix this, and I hope they find the person who did this.”

Anyone with information about the theft is urged to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS.

Sure, the outside of the iPhone 4S is the same as the outside of the iPhone 4, but on the inside, it’s a whole new brain.

You can ask, “who was Albert Einstein?”

“Let me check on that. Okay, here you go,” responds Siri, while displaying information about Einstein.

Siri is a digital personal assistant who scours the web when you ask a question.

Ask her, “What should I eat tonight?”

She’ll reply, “I’ve found several restaurants for you nearby,” while displaying a list of nearby restaurants with their distance from you.

She can answer practically anything. No, really, anything.

Ask Siri, “what is the meaning of life?”

She might respond, “all evidence to date suggests it’s chocolate.”

[worldnow id=6352788 width=385 height=288 type=video]

But lots of phones have voice command. For example, being able to send and receive text messages with your voice is nothing new, but the difference with Siri on the iPhone 4S, is that she also has personality.

Tell her you love her, she might say, “you hardly know me.” Keep pushing her, and she’ll say, “Oh, stop.”

She’s also practical.

Tell her to wake you up at 8 AM in the morning, and she’ll set your alarm.

Ask her to schedule your meeting, and she’ll put it in your calendar.

That, coupled with one of the fastest mobile processors on the market and a high quality camera, makes this phone very different than its predecessor, the iPhone 4S.

Siri is also highly sought after. AT&T announced Friday it had activated a record number of iPhones on its network. That also means there were lots of activation problems, where people had to wait until late Friday night to start using their phones.

Police say a man and woman had just committed a crime inside the mall. That’s when the pair jumped into a car to get away.

[worldnow id=6348838 width=385 height=288 type=video]

“Security did alert my officer. My officer tried to stop the vehicle,” said Chief Roberto Fulgueira of Sweetwater PD.

The Sweetwater officer was on foot and, police say, the two ran him over with the car. Another nearby officer then fired shots at the car.

The male suspect got out of the car and ran toward the nearby Marriott hotel while the woman stayed in the car and police arrested her.

Police say the man went inside the hotel to use the restroom. Then, police say, he came outside, hid in the bushes, and called for a cab. This cab. They drove off.

“The police coming behind me, they stopped me on the expressway,” said the taxi driver.

Police arrested the man on the 836 expressway near the I-95 South. The cab driver says he never felt threatened.

“No, nothing, nothing,” he said.

It turns out the cab driver had already been tipped off about the suspicious  passenger.

“I don’t know nothing about it. They called me from the hotel saying something happened with this guy,” he said.

Police were able to track the cab’s movement — leading them right to their suspect.

The chief says the police officer who was run over is doing well.

According to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesperson Jorge Pino, Juan Carlos Morales, 45, was aboard a 65-foot luxury yacht and fell off while the boat was moving. Officials said the Morales fell right into the propellers and died.

Morales was a friend of the yacht’s owner and the name of the yacht involved is “The Gotcha,” CBS4′s Gio Benitez reported. He was with friends and family aboard the yacht.

Authorities do not know if alcohol played a role in the accident.

A large fleet of powerboats always anchors off Elliott Key for a weekend. It’s often considered a celebration featuring non- stop music, dancing and drinking.

Law enforcement officers and emergency medical responders made up of park rangers, U.S. Coast Guard, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and Miami-Dade police and fire rescue units will patrol the bay and local marinas.

However, they want South Florida boaters to think twice about going out on the water during dangerous weather conditions.

“If you are comfortable operating your vessel in those conditions, then by all means, do it. But if you’re not, if you haven’t been out on your boat in quite awhile, if your boat isn’t quite as seaworthy as you think it is, then think twice about going out tomorrow. The last thing we want is to encounter some sort of emergency out there,” said FWC spokesman Jorge Pino.

For those who do brave the wet and windy conditions, officers will be checking boats for proper safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers and lifejackets, and to make sure operators stay sober. Anyone found boating under the influence will be jailed and their boat could be confiscated.

“One of our main targets for the weekend will be boating under the influence. There will be a zero tolerance for any boating under the influence violations,” said Wayne Rybeck from Biscayne National Park. “It is very important for our visitors to remain safe and be responsible when visiting the park.”

In previous years, several boaters have been killed and scores of others injured and arrested during the holiday celebration.

Officials want everyone to know the rules and stay safe.

Special regulations will be in effect over the three-day weekend:

• Vessels must anchor in a designated area on the west side of Elliott Key
• No more than five boats may be rafted together in that area
• A minimum distance of 75 feet is required between rafts of vessels or between individual boats
• No unauthorized commercial activity
• Vessels with loud music may be cited and audio equipment confiscated

Here are some other boating safety tips:

To prevent damage to fragile sea grass beds, park rangers will patrol the Featherbed Banks area and direct boaters away to keep them from grounding. At night, some sea grass meadows will be marked with strobe lights.

• There should be one lifejacket for each person aboard
• The boat must have a fire extinguisher
• Boat lights must work
• Don’t boat while drunk
• Watch the weather
• Develop a float plan. Make sure someone knows how long you’ll be gone
• Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water

“All it takes is one cat to be shedding the virus,” said Dr. Maria Serrano, a veterinarian at Miami-Dade Animal Services.

She is trying to control a viral outbreak of feline panleukopenia (also called the cat plague), a serious illness among cats that could kill them.

[worldnow id=6330427 width=385 height=288 type=video]

It was already killed 14 cats at the shelter, mostly kittens. Friday morning, the shelter moved every cat to a new temporary holding facility. CBS4 cameras were not even allowed inside because the virus is extremely contagious. It attacks the gastrointestinal tract.

“The most important things are vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, they kind of slow down, they don’t eat,” said Dr. Serrano.

Dr. Serrano says she and her team scrubbed down the main facility in Medley and that the cats here now were never exposed.

“The cats that are here are brand new population,” she said.

Dr. Serrano says they were all vaccinated before coming here. She does not think any cats with the virus were adopted out.

She also tells us the quarantined cats are not necessarily sick, they are just making sure no other cats catch the virus. She believes all of the cats will soon be back at the shelter, ready to be adopted.

On October 1st, 35 positions were eliminated from the department, but the firefighters received late word Thursday that Mayor Carlos Hernandez and the fire union reached a deal to save the positions.

The jobs were saved thanks to  concessions made by the union. Firefighters will now have to give up two days of holiday pay. The union is concerned, however, that the deal will only hold until November 30th, when the holiday pay deal expires.

“It’s a win for the citizens only. Firefighters are the ones that are paying for this,” said Mario Pico, president of the union.

Both sides are still in negotiations for what to do after the deal expires.

[worldnow id=6326482 width=385 height=288 type=video]

Mayor Hernandez released this statement shortly after the tentative deal was reached:

“Today, the Hialeah Fire Union has made the necessary concessions, as they have agreed to give up holiday pay for 2 days in the calendar year.  These concessions will allow the City to reinstate the 14 fire fighters who were separated from their jobs on October 1st, 2011, as well as the 9 presently in the Fire Academy. Today’s actions demonstrate that when two parties negotiate in good faith, a compromise can be achieved for the betterment of our community.  I trust this is the beginning of fair and honest negotiations on behalf of the Hialeah Fire Union.”

What wasn’t saved was the 12 vacant positions left in the department.

The temporary agreement ended the contentious negotiations between the union and Hernandez, with each side accusing the other of playing political games.

Meanwhile, as the layoff were averted in Hialeah, those at The Broward Fire Academy who are about to enter the job market are seeing a field that’s very much not on fire.

Graduates Crystal Haire and Bill Dwyer practiced tying knots they can tie in their sleep. They are about to graduate as fully-trained firefighters, and Dwyer said he spent approximately $15,000 but does not have a job as yet. Neither has Haire or any of the other 36 classmates. Haire admitted to having something of a knot in her gut.

“I do (have a knot), but I think in any profession that I would be in right now I would probably feel that way,” she said.

They said they know that times are tough all over. If they get a firefighter’s job they’ll probably have to settle for less pay and fewer benefits, and cutbacks like the one in Hialeah will make the job search all the more difficult for a rookie.

“Certain cities have laid off many people,” Haire said. “These people have experience and I’m going to be competing with them.”

They said they hope that the cutbacks will not last long.

“I think a lot of it is just the recession and everything going on today,” Dwyer said.

But then there’s the personal impact: a connection I never really thought about until I heard the news that Steve Jobs had died. Why? Steve Jobs helped shape my career, and in the process, change my life.

This is the story of the day two journalists unknowingly changed the landscape of television news with technology Jobs created.

Adrienne Roark is now the Vice President of News for KTVT, the CBS station in Dallas. But on the morning of June 19, 2009, she was my News Director here at CBS4 in Miami. Adrienne is always inspired by creative thinkers and when Jobs released the iPhone 3GS, she was one of the first to get it. At the time, I was the station’s investigative producer with aspirations to someday work as a reporter. As you’re about to read, that “someday” came earlier than expected.

In this column, we will go back and forth between Miami and Dallas so that you’ll understand why both Adrienne and I were so saddened by the death of Steve Jobs.

I was standing in line at the Apple Store in The Falls sending Adrienne an email: “I can’t believe I’m standing here so early for a phone. Did yours arrive yet?” She pre-ordered her iPhone 3GS. We were both excited about the phone’s new high-quality video feature. My phone rang.

Adrienne Roark
June 19, 2009 at 6 a.m.

An idea hit me as Gio and I were emailing back and forth; wouldn’t it be neat if he used the new video feature on his phone to get video and interviews with all the people standing in line? Then he could come back and put together a story for the 6 p.m. news. I called Gio and asked him if he knew how to use the new video feature. He said yes. Then I told him my idea. His response: “That’s great. I’ll do it as soon as I get the phone. Will this story be for an anchor?” I said, “Nope. You’ll do the story. So shoot a stand-up with the phone.”

June 19, 2009 at 6 a.m.

I’m not necessarily one to tell my boss “no,” so I quickly told Adrienne I knew how to work the iPhone’s video feature (I did not know). Now I was even more excited. Standing outside the store, I had met a quirky woman who said she just had to have the latest technology, and a young graphics designer who said he never wanted a phone this badly. When I got the iPhone a few hours later, I immediately began shooting with the plastic still on. Back in the CBS4 newsroom, Adrienne was telling producers about the idea.

SLIDESHOW: Remembering Steve Jobs

Adrienne Roark
June 19, 2009 at 9 a.m.

I remember telling the team in our morning news editorial meeting and getting a few blank stares. It was a pretty bold idea, use the new phone to put together an entire story. It had never been done in our industry. But as I told myself that day, this is the true spirit of Steve Jobs; be creative, be innovative, and take risks.

Gio Benitez
June 19, 2009 at 12 p.m.

I got back to the station and began importing the video into Final Cut Pro. Then I recorded my voice using the Voice Recorder app. I imported that file into Final Cut Pro, and I spent the next several hours editing the piece for air in our 6 p.m. newscast that day.

That’s how television history was made and it wasn’t until a few days later that we realized the impact. Articles were written about us in China, South America, Europe, Canada and in the United States. It was fascinating to watch the story take on a life of it’s own on Twitter. Within hours, we had some 36,000 video views on our website.

Steve Jobs created the technology but he also inspired a News Director to be brave enough to try something different and that inspiration gave this then 23-year-old journalist the confidence to say, “Yes, I can do this.”

October 5, 2011 at 7:36 p.m.

I was working on a story for CBS4′s 11 p.m. news when an AP alert popped up on my iPhone 4: “BREAKING: Apple says Steve Jobs has died.” I stopped to take in the news. Everyone knew this might happen, but seeing those words on the device he invented became a very personal moment. Within minutes, for the first time ever, I realized the impact this man had on my life. This person I never met redefined me. My assignment changed. I would now be covering the death of an icon. I headed to the Apple store on South Beach where fans were taking photos of the dimly lit store-front. What an honor it was to tell his story.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. Thank you, Steve Jobs.
