Should Trayvon Martin's Mother Have Filed a Trademark Application ...

This is an interesting way, by the grieving family, to preserve the memories of Trayvon Martin (RIP), the 17year old unarmed black kid shot by an overzealous self designated neighborhood watchdog, George Zimmerman (White &/Hispanic). Abovethelaw.com debates the issue:

?The shooting has picked up national attention, and it?s shedding yet another ugly spotlight on race relations in America. I?m on the same page as Elie regarding most of his frustration. But earlier this week we learned that the slain teen?s mother had filed a trademark application for ?I am Trayvon? and ?Justice for Trayvon.?

Elie thinks, in a nutshell, that this is a good and proper strategy to preserve Trayvon?s memory and prevent random people from profiting off of his death. But I have to disagree. I think his family members are wasting their time and energy.

Keep reading for details on the trademark applications. Grab a Coke and a bag of chips, and watch the two of us digitally duke it out in today?s ATL debate?.

Here is the relevant section from Central Florida News 13:

Tuesday an attorney for Trayvon Martin?s mother says her pursuit of a trademark for slogans containing the slain teenager?s name is to keep people from exploiting the boy?s name.
Monday News13 first reported that the

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office filings by Sybrina Fulton are for the sayings ?I am Trayvon,? and ?Justice for Trayvon.?
The applications, filed last week. A representative for Fulton says the trademarks were not filed for ?profitable purposes.?
Now, on to the debate.

CHRIS DANZIG

The problem here is that filing a trademark application is not worth the time, or the effort, or the money for Martin?s family. I understand Fulton is concerned about people exploiting her son?s memory, and I know the intellectual property regulatory system is one official way to prevent others from doing just that. But I really don?t think anyone is going to make any significant profit off of Trayvon t-shirts. And, even if unintentionally, Fulton?s filing automatically raises questions about her motivation, regardless of whether she?s actually trying to profit from the trademarks.

Even so, the family will almost certainly not have the resources to enforce the trademark. They will not be able to do anything about Times Square street vendors ? who mostly sell copyrighted stuff anyway ? or other independent t-shirt makers. And I am pretty sure Urban Outfitters is not going to try to cash in on this.

Just because Sinbad wore a Trayvon shirt on a morning show doesn?t mean people are getting rich off of Trayvon?s name.

Moreover, t-shirt sales are a non-issue. Fulton?s application doesn?t cover apparel. The Daily Mail notes . . .?

Above the Law has the full story.

Your thoughts folks?

Dunno why I haven't had a rant on here about these Coffee shop types before.
Starbucks, Cafe Nero, Costa an the like, it's not the shops that I dislike, it's the people who frequent them an buy into the whole lifestyle thing.

I've never been into one, not just because I'm a tight arse an wouldn't dream of payin ?3 for a cardboard cup of froth, but because I hate that whole I have to get my caffeine fix first thing cause I'm sooo stressed with work an my busy lifestyle thing.

What a load of bollocks these people spout about a Tall skinny Latte or a Double decaf soya latte. What's an Americano? A flat white? What is this nonsense?

It's Coffee.

Maxwell house or Nescafe, that's as much as you need to know about Coffee.

Or perhaps a fair trade brand that tastes crap but makes you feel like your doin your bit to save the planet.

I'm off for a brew.

I have a wallet full of loyalty cars to wanky London coffee shops. ' Cafe Nero' in Old Compton Street, now there's a good one from about 8 years ago. If I'd worked a late session then that was my place to pop in for a brew and read my notes.

Pretty much what you'd expect, but always some entertainment after midnight. The coffee was okay but the people watching was second to none.

I nearly had a problem with some pissed up arse who stumbled in one night and decided that he wanted a pop at me for 'looking at him'. I look at everybody. It's what I do. A 6' tall transvestite friend of mine pushed him out before I could say 'eh?'

Cost me a round a coffees, mind. Gas, grass or ass - ain't nobody rides for free.

I miss all that sometimes.

Colorectal Cancer Treatments | Medify

Learn About the Treatments for Colorectal Cancer

Patients with colorectal cancer have different treatment options, depending on the stage and aggressiveness of their cancer. The four standard treatments for colorectal cancer are surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and target therapy, as described below.

Surgery:

  • Local excision?removes the cancer and a small amount of surrounding healthy tissue. Surgeons will perform this procedure on patients whose cancer has not spread beyond the inside surface of the?rectum or colon.
  • Resection?if the cancer has spread into the wall of the rectum, doctors will remove it, along with a small amount of surrounding healthy tissue (partial colectomy), and then sew the healthy parts of the colon together (anastomosis). As part of this procedure, a doctor will remove?the lymph nodes?near the colon and examine them under a microscope for signs of cancer.
  • Cryosurgery?uses a special instrument to freeze and destroy abnormal tissue, such as carcinoma in situ. This treatment is also called?cryotherapy.

Following surgery, some patients may receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy to kill any cancer cells that might remain. This post-surgery treatment, called adjuvant therapy, lowers the risk that the cancer will return.

Chemotherapy:

Several different chemotherapy drugs help treat colorectal cancer. Often, two or more of these drugs are combined to make them more effective. For several decades, doctors have used 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) as a part of most chemotherapy regimens for colorectal cancer patients. Usually, patients receive 5-FU together with leucovorin (or folinic acid).

In general, doctors treat patients with 5-FU every two weeks, over a period of six months to a year. Some standard chemotherapy regimens that include 5-FU are these:

  • FOLFOX: 5-FU, leucovorin and oxaliplatin
  • FOLFIRI: 5-FU, leucovori and irinotecan
  • FOLFOXIRI: leucovorin, 5-FU, oxaliplatin and irinotecan

Radiation Therapy:

Radiation therapy?uses high-energy?x-rays?or other types of?radiation?to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. Two types of radiation are available; doctors decide which one to use based on the type and stage of a patient?s cancer.

  • Eternal radiation?therapy?uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer.
  • Internal radiation?places a radioactive substance sealed in needles,?seeds, wires or catheters?directly into or near the cancer.

Target Therapy:

Typically reserved for patients with advanced colon cancer, target therapy uses drugs aimed at specific defects that allow cancer cells to proliferate. Examples of target therapy include bevacizumab (Avastin), cetuximab (Erbitux) and panitumumab (Vectibix). Doctors may give targeted drugs alone or with chemotherapy.

Scientists Estimate 40% of Red Dwarfs Have A Rocky Planet

An anonymous reader writes with an excerpt from Science World Report: "Astronomers hunting for rocky planets with the right temperature to support life estimate there may be tens of billions of them in our galaxy alone. A European team said on Wednesday that about 40 percent of red dwarf stars ? the most common type in the Milky Way ? have a so-called 'super-Earth' planet orbiting in a habitable zone that would allow water to flow on the surface."

LEON, Mexico (AP) ? Pope Benedict XVI landed in Mexico on Friday to throngs of faithful who gathered at the tarmac and lined more than 20 miles of his route into the city shouting the ultimate welcome: "Benedict, brother, you are now Mexican."

Many thought such a warm reception, complete with folkloric dance and mariachis, would not greet a pope some consider distant and academic. But the world's largest Roman Catholic, Spanish-speaking country showed Benedict the affection they had for his predecessor, John Paul II, who was dubbed "Mexico's pope" after making five trips to the country.

"This is a proud country of hospitality, and nobody feels like a stranger in your land," the pope said upon landing to wild cheers. "I knew that, now I see it and now I feel it in my heart."

After his Alitalia flight landed, the streets of Leon where the pope will stay took on a carnival atmosphere, with entire blocks exploding in yellow confetti as he passed in his bulletproof popemobile along the 20-mile (32-kilometer) route from the airport.

"He came to change all Mexicans," said Maria del Rosario Tamayo Villanueva, who waited to see the pope despite being paralyzed in both legs since childhood. "It was important to come to see him. He is a gift from God."

From the time the pontiff boarded his plane in Rome, he took on the subject of Mexican drug war violence that has killed more than 47,000 people in the last six years, saying it is "destroying humanity and our youth."

Benedict called on Mexicans to conquer a materialistic culture that feeds drug trafficking and said the church can be a healing force.

"The great responsibility of the church is to educate the conscience, teach moral responsibility and strip off the mask (from) the idolatry of money that enslaves mankind, and unmask the false promise, this lie that is behind" the drug culture, he said.

He also urged Cuba, where he heads on Monday, to leave behind a Marxism that "no longer responds to reality."

Benedict has spoken out before against drug trafficking, Marxism and authoritarianism in Latin America, including during his 2007 trip to Brazil, his first to the region.

On Friday Mexican President Felipe Calderon and first lady Margarita Zavala greeted the pope at the Guanajuato International Airport in Silao and escorted him along a red carpet amid a clanging of church bells.

Benedict descended the stairs without the cane he had used when he walked to the plane in Rome, the first time he had walked with it in public.

In a tarmac speech, Benedict referred again to the everyday violence that ordinary Mexicans confront, saying he was praying for all in need "particularly those who suffer because of old and new rivalries, resentments and all forms of violence."

He said he was coming to Mexico as a pilgrim of hope, to encourage Mexicans to "transform the present structures and events which are less than satisfactory and seem immovable or insurmountable while also helping those who do not see meaning or a future in life."

Calderon greeted the pontiff by saying, "Your visit fills us with joy in moments of great tribulation."

Some like 42-year-old housewife Celia del Rosario Escobar said she had high hopes that Benedict would help turn around a society devastated by the drug trade and the brutal violence related to it.

"I would like that he changes the conscience of those people who are doing harm to Mexico with everything involved in drug addiction, in the mafia," Escobar said. "I hope that we have more respect for life."

Many see the pope's Latin America trip as a way to strengthen the faithful in a region where Catholicism has dropped over the decades, though not as dramatically as in Europe and elsewhere.

"One sees in Latin America and also elsewhere, not a few Catholics who have a schizophrenia between individual and public morality," the pope said earlier on the plane. "These individuals are Catholic, believers, but in their public lives they follow other paths that don't correspond to the great values of the Gospel ... so we must teach not just in individual morals but public morals."

Benedict acknowledged the historic nature of John Paul's first trip to Mexico ? the first by any pope. The 1979 visit, just months after being elected pope and his first foreign trip, came at a time in which Mexico's anti-religion laws were so restrictive that John Paul was technically breaking the law by wearing clerical garb in public.

John Paul also made a historic visit to Cuba in 1998, where upon his arrival in Havana he pronounced the now-famous words: "May Cuba, with all its magnificent potential, open itself up to the world, and may the world open itself up to Cuba."

Benedict told reporters those words remain true even today, and that John Paul's visit had launched a path of "collaboration and constructive dialogue" in Cuba that continues, albeit slowly.

In Mexico, Benedict said, violence is destroying the nation's young.

It is a message that Enrique Abundes, one of thousands lining the papal route, was waiting to hear. The 46-year-old shoe-factory worker and father of five said he believed Benedict would inspire Mexicans to keep their children away from the temptations of organized crime.

"The pope's visit to our city will call attention to the violence and, for us, to be good examples to our children," he said.

The weeklong trip to Mexico and Cuba, Benedict's first to both countries, will be a test of stamina for the pope, who turns 85 next month. At the airport on Friday in Rome, the pope used a cane, apparently for the first time in public, as he walked about 100 yards (meters) to the airliner's steps.

Papal aides, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Benedict has been using the cane in private for about two months because it makes him feel more secure, not for any medical reason. Last fall, Benedict started using a wheeled platform to navigate the vast spaces of St. Peter's Basilica during ceremonies. The Vatican has said that device was employed to help the pope save his energy.

Many businesses and schools closed for the day in Leon, and thousands of people were traveling in on buses from across the country. But the city was not at full capacity.

About 30 percent of the city's 6,000 hotel rooms were still empty, said Fabiola Vera, president of the Association of Hotels and Motels of Leon. She said people might have been discouraged by rumors that there weren't enough rooms.

The main campground in Leon, meant for tens of thousands of pilgrims, was empty earlier in the day.

Church officials said as many as 300,000 people were expected for Sunday's Mass.

"We greeted him with much affection and love because he is the messenger of peace," said Antonio Alcaraz, 40, director of a public school. "His visit through his message, will improve our social problems."

Buzz Kill: Self-Dissolving Tinnitus Treatment Gives New Hope

Extreme Tech | Technology

The Pentagon searches for technology to treat tinnitus, characterized by a persistent ringing in the ears, and suffered by one in 10 U.S. adults, and 40 percent of all veterans

cochlea,tinnitus, ring, ear, hearHEAR THAT?: Draper Laboratory in Cambridge, Mass., is fleshing out a concept for a small delivery device that can provide relief to tinnitus sufferers. The device would be inserted near the membrane-covered window separating the middle ear from the inner ear and release medication into the cochlea. Image: Courtesy of Draper Laboratory

Loud, concussive explosions on the battlefield may last only a few seconds, but many soldiers returning from combat in the Middle East are experiencing lingering symptoms that cause them to perceive sounds even when it is quiet. Doctors can do little to treat the problem?typically described as a ringing in the ears?because they lack an effective way of delivering medication to the inner ear. That could change in a few years, in the form of an implantable polymer-based microscale drug-release system that delivers medicine to the inner ear.

Called tinnitus, the condition afflicts at least one in every 10 American adults and is the most common disability among Afghanistan and Iraq war veterans, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Up to 40 percent of all veterans may be suffering from tinnitus, and the VA spends about $1 billion annually on disability payments for tinnitus, according to a study published last year in Nature. (Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group.)

To address the problem, the U.S. Department of Defense has commissioned Draper Laboratory in Cambridge, Mass., to spend the next year fleshing out a concept for a small delivery device inserted near the membrane-covered window?no more than three millimeters in diameter?separating the middle ear from the inner ear. Once at the membrane the device (essentially a polymer capsule, although Draper is not developing any of medicines that might be placed inside) would release a drug into the cochlea, the tubular organ residing in the inner ear that enables us to hear. The plan is to embed wireless communications into the capsule so that a patient or doctor can control the dosage. After the capsule finishes delivering its supply of drugs, it would dissolve.

Although Draper's project is still in the very early stages and years away from any clinical testing, it holds more promise than many of today's most common approaches to tinnitus treatment, which include deep breathing, using background noise to drown out the ringing or simply learning to ignore the bothersome sound. Steroids injected into the eardrum have shown some promise in helping patients with certain hearing and balance disorders, but the ear begins eliminating these drugs through the eustachian tube (a passageway in the middle ear that acts as a pressure equalizer) as soon as the patient talks, swallows or even sits up. As a result, the patient must endure several injections into their ear and remain immobilized for a time after each injection to get any relief from the malady.

"By and large there aren't that many good ways to treat tinnitus," says Lloyd Minor, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at Johns Hopkins University. Draper's work "is potentially a novel way of delivering drugs to treat tinnitus. In general, we don't have the types of drug-delivery systems that we would like to get medication into the inner ear."

NeuroSystec Corp. is developing a neuro-active agent designed to calm the hyperactive nerves responsible for cochlear tinnitus. The Valencia, Calif., biotech start-up has licensed an osmotic pump from Durect Corp. in Cupertino, Calif., a company working on a number of drug delivery mechanisms for various parts of the body, including the inner ear.

Other advanced approaches of addressing tinnitus have been in the works for years, but most are still not ready for the market. Otonomy, Inc., in San Diego is testing a sustained release dexamethasone (a type of steroid) gel that would be injected into the middle ear, where it would stay in place, dissolving slowly and delivering treatments for hearing and balance disorders. MicroTransponder, a medical device company spun out from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2007, is looking to broaden the use of its implanted wired neuro-stimulation system for treating epilepsy to likewise help tinnitus patients.

The neuro-stimulation approach shows greater promise than those based on delivering medication to the inner ear at this time, says Michael McKenna, an otologist and neurologist at Massachusetts Eye and Ear in Boston. Targeted drug therapy is of questionable benefit because tinnitus comes from a variety of causes?including age-related hearing loss, traumatic ear injuries or circulatory system disorders?and has varying degrees of severity, he adds.

Perhaps some combination of all these efforts will end up delivering the relief that tinnitus sufferers seek. "Nothing really has been a panacea, so there is the need for further technological development," Minor says. If Draper's technology "works in the way they're hoping it will work, it will potentially be a big advance for the field."

BlackBerry Partners Fund Manager ATP Rebrands As Relay Ventures, Raises $150M

relay venturesATP Capital, the firm that runs JLA Ventures, Clairmont Capital, and BlackBerry Partners Fund, is ready to start investing a new $150 million fund ? and it will be doing so under a new name, Relay Ventures. Technically, the new fund will be called the BlackBerry Partners Fund 2, but it sounds like the firm will be deemphasizing the individual funds in favor of the larger Relay Ventures brand. Just looking at all the names listed in the paragraph above should give some sense of Relay's previously fragmented identity. The BlackBerry fund is particularly confusing, since it's not a BlackBerry-exclusive fund, nor is it the official venture arm of BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion. (However, RIM is a limited partner in both the initial BlackBerry fund and the new one.)
