Check out this exchange
Roscoe has been on twitter today talking about the whole situation,
"I'm really hoping all this bs abt @Drake & @Meekmill and the homie @Chrisbrown is false Smfh!!"
"All imma say is jumping n*ggas and swinging bottles over a woman who doesn't belong to ANYBODY!!! Aynt gangsta at all!.. no points given."
"I gotta say Lost alota respect for @drake & @meekmill out of all the n*ggas who Dnt like yall y'all chose to retaliate against @chrisbrown."
"Just voicing my opinion there's wayyy more important sh*t to start fight abt than features and women #thatisall."
"Now everybody's mad too bad idgaf but for the record I Dnt have a prob with @drake or @meekmill I just can't support sucka sh*t…"
Turns out that Drake, Meek Mills, Trey Songz and Chris Brown were all at Club V.I.P. in Soho last night and there is video of the fight, but in true capitalist fashion, the person who shot the footage is looking to sell it first!
Drake's publicist has issued an OFFICIAL statement in regards to Drake and the melee,
"Drake did not participate in any wrongdoing of any kind last night at W.i.P. He was on his way out of the club when the altercation began."
"[Drake] did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property."

Purpose of review: The early stage of HIV-1 infection is when the virus is most vulnerable, and should therefore offer the best opportunity for therapeutic interventions. This review addresses the recent progress in the understanding of innate immune responses against HIV-1 with focus on the potential targets for prevention of viral acquisition, replication and dissemination.
Recent findings: Research indicates that the host-derived factor trappin-2/elafin is protective against HIV, whereas semen-derived enhancer of viral infection and defensins 5 and 6 enhance viral transmission. Further, studies suggest that stimulation of TLR4 and inhibition of TLR7–9 pathways may be HIV suppressive. The regulation and function of viral restriction factors tetherin and APOBEC3G have been investigated and a molecule mimicking the premature uncoating achieved by TRIM5α, PF74, has been identified. Chloroquine has been shown to inhibit plasmacytoid dendritic cell activation and suppress negative modulators of T-cell responses. Blockade of HMBG1 has been found to restore natural-killer-cell-mediated killing of infected dendritic cells, normally suppressed by HIV-1. Interestingly, when used as adjuvants, EAT-2 and heat shock protein gp96 reportedly enhance innate immune responses.
Summary: Several targets for innate immunity-mediated therapeutics have been identified. Nonetheless, more research is required to unveil their underlying mechanisms and interactions before testing these molecules in clinical trials.
The innate immune system is the first line of defense against HIV-1 and is crucial for the initial antiviral activity which reduces viral replication and protects surrounding cells from infection, as well as for the development of appropriate adaptive immune responses [1]. To date, the vast majority of HIV-1 research has focused on the adaptive immunity in order to formulate an effective vaccine. Due to the limited success of the recent vaccine candidates [2,3], research on innate-mediated antiviral immunity is on the increase.
Following mucosal sexual transmission of HIV-1, viral RNA initially remains undetectable in the peripheral blood. Studies in the SIV-macaque model have demonstrated that infection may be initiated in dendritic cells and Langerhans cells [4], followed by establishment in certain CD4+ T-cell populations (40–50 cells) approximately 3–4 days after exposure [5,6]. When viral RNA, that is, HIV-1, appears in the circulation (approximately 7 days later), the CD4+ T cells in the gut are substantially depleted [7] and a persistent infection has already been established in the lymphatic tissue [8]. This implies that the early stage of infection is when HIV-1 is most vulnerable, and should offer the best opportunity for rapid therapeutic intervention. In addition, HIV-1 elite controllers frequently lack the standard pathognomonic features of primary infection [9] and can control viral replication before the onset of adaptive immune responses [10]. This control is not because of the intrinsic resistance of CD4+ T cells to infection [11••] and suggests the potential of innate immunity as the key determinant of HIV disease progression.
Recent findings with respect to innate-mediated immune responses against HIV-1 could lead to the development of potent microbicides/antiviral agents that can successfully prevent viral acquisition, replication and dissemination as well as valuable insights into possible adjuvants that can shape innate immune responses to enhance the effect of future vaccines.
In addition to posing a mechanical barrier to viral entry, the host genital and rectal mucosa offers a plethora of microbicides that can prevent infection and viral replication, as well as decrease inflammation (Fig. 1) [12••,13•,14•,15–17,18•]. As existing inflammation in the mucosa, due to HIV/SIV itself or a preexisting coinfection such as HSV [19,20], aids in establishment and expansion of HIV/SIV, the anti-inflammatory properties of microbicides at mucosal sites may prevent viral dissemination. Although none of the synthetic microbicides that have completed phase III clinical trials appear to offer good protection correlates [21,22], research on novel antimicrobial molecules should generate better results. A serine protease inhibitor produced by epithelial cells in the human female reproductive tract, trappin-2/elafin, has been identified to possess both anti-inflammatory and HIV-inhibitory activities [12••], and has been associated with protection against HIV-1 acquisition [23].
Not all secreted antimicrobials are protective, mucosal defensins 5 and 6 increase HIV infectivity in vitro and have been proposed to have partially caused the failure of some microbicide candidates in trials [13•]. Semen-derived enhancer of viral infection (SEVI), a type of amyloid aggregates found in semen, enhance viral attachment to target cells and their levels have been correlated to HIV infectivity [14•]. In addition, HIV has developed mechanisms to exploit the human complement system by incorporating regulators of complement activation into its envelope while budding from infected host cells [15], leading to enhanced infection and transmission from dendritic cells to T cells [16]. The inactivated complement fragments present on the viral surface might be involved in the induction of tolerance and immune suppression [24,25]. Of note, frequently exposed uninfected commercial sex workers expressed less complement component C3 in their genital mucosa compared with HIV-infected sex workers and uninfected low-risk groups [26]. In the light of these findings, the effects of complement opsonization on infectivity and induction of innate immune responses are important to investigate when developing therapeutics and vaccines.
In order to successfully identify or develop agents with HIV-protective properties, the great complexity of innate-immunity regulation in human mucosa must be taken into consideration. Dissecting the roles and mechanisms of action of individual innate factors combined with a greater understanding of how they interact with and are influenced by hormonal fluctuations [27], coinfections [17,18•], as well as the effect of semen on the mucosal milieu and HIV susceptibility will be challenging, will be valuable tools in the development of prevention modalities.
Activation of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) of the innate immune system is crucial for early antiviral defense, which includes production of interferons (IFNs) and interferon-inducible factors (Fig. 2) [28•,29,30•,31••,32••,33•]. The most studied class of PRRs, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been examined to evaluate whether their signaling can be exploited to generate effective vaccines and therapeutic interventions. Although all TLRs (1–10) can be found in the human mucosa, TLR3, 4, 7, 8 and 9 preferentially induce IFN production, and thereby exhibit antiviral activity. Research showing that HIV has developed mechanisms to evade triggering TLR-induced responses [34••,35•] supports their potential as targets for innate-mediated interventions.
The major concern with TLRs is their association with inflammation and other immunoregulatory factors that may favor HIV replication and dissemination. Inducing high levels of IFN to provide potent innate antiviral immunity, but bypassing the induction of inflammation and recruitment of leukocytes to sites of infection is a challenge. Insights into which TLRs are suitable targets for HIV prevention have been generated by studies on mucosal commensal bacteria and their effect on HIV susceptibility. One study showed that in macrophages, whereas bacteria with HIV-suppressive effects preferentially stimulated TLR4, the ones that enhanced HIV replication stimulated TLR2 [28•]. These results are consistent with effects seen in dendritic cells following TLR4 and TLR2 stimulation [29]. Furthermore, HIV inhibition through targeting TLR4 utilizing prothymosin-α, a naturally occurring TLR4 ligand produced by CD8+ T cells, potently suppressed HIV after entry into macrophages via production of type-I IFN [30•].
Stimulation of TLR3, which has been shown to act independently of inflammation [36], in macrophages through dsRNA (poly I:C) significantly inhibited HIV infection and replication by inducing type-I IFN inducible factors such as apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme 3G (APOBEC3G) and tetherin [37•]. However, the suitability of TLR3 ligands for HIV suppression remains dubious as they also have been shown to increase Langerhans cell maturation and HIV transmission [38].
Although some results indicate that signaling through TLR9 may be HIV suppressive [39•], most studies claim that stimulation of TLR7 and TLR9 induces inflammation and augments HIV replication and spread [31••,40]. Recent results showed that phosphorothioate 2′ deoxyribose oligomers, which specifically block these TLRs, significantly inhibited the infection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by HIV [31••]. In addition, the oligomers did not appear to be toxic in vitro[31••], making them viable microbicide candidates that merit further investigation.
A possible means of avoiding inflammation resulting from TLR activation is through the use of miRNAs, which may reduce the expression of TLRs or inhibit their downstream signaling. Let-7e and miR-105 have been shown to decrease the expression of TLR4 [41] and TLR2 [42], respectively, whereas miR-155 has been reported to inhibit key proteins in downstream TLR signaling [43]. However, despite the potential advances in molecular medicine this approach may not be optimal for HIV therapy as blocking TLR signaling may impair responses to other infections and/or cell functions such as antigen presentation [44••].
In myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs), corresponding to tissue dendritic cells, HIV achieved productive infection by exploiting TLR8 signaling in combination with the C-type lectin DC-SIGN, as blocking either pathway abrogated replication and prevented HIV transmission [32••]. This mechanism could potentially be exploited to prevent infection and viral dissemination.
A study in mouse dendritic cells showed that expression of A20, an inducible feedback inhibitor of retinoid-inducible gene-1 (RIG-1), and TLR signaling pathways, inhibited robust mucosal and systemic HIV-specific cellular and humoral responses [45•]. When A20 expression was silenced it enhanced dendritic cell's ability to home to gut-associated lymphoid tissues following systemic administration, as well as inhibiting the expression of gut-homing receptors on T and B cells [45•], which would be beneficial in a HIV vaccine.
Viral restriction factors are constitutive or IFN-induced components of the innate immune response interfering with different stages of viral replication (Fig. 3) [46,47••–49••,50,51,52•,53•,54]. Three classes of restriction factors affecting lentiviruses have been identified: cytidine deaminases, such as APOBEC3G, which induce lethal hypermutations in the viral genome; tripartite motif-containing factor (TRIM) proteins, which may affect stages of the replication cycle such as uncoating and budding; and tetherin, which prevents mature HIV particles from being released from infected cells [55,56].
APOBEC3G inhibits reverse transcription and integration events during the course of HIV's life cycle. However, upon infecting a cell, the viral protein Vif targets APOBEC3G for proteasomal degradation, abrogating or severely diminishing its antiviral functions [50]. In addition, APOBEC3G is thought to be able to exert antiviral activity only if it is incorporated into the viral particles [57]. Nevertheless, upregulation of APOBEC3G expression in PBMCs by immunizing macaques with SIV antigens and CCR5 peptides linked to a 70-kDa heat-shock protein (HSP) offered protection from subsequent SIV challenge [51]. There is some concern that instead of decreasing HIV infectivity in patients, APOBEC3G upregulation may raise mutagenic activity to a level that is insufficient to render the virions noninfectious and instead aid in the evolution of drug-resistant phenotypes [52•,53•,58•]. Although recent studies have shed some light on the regulatory mechanisms of ABOBEC3G [59•,60•], it is likely that development of novel probes and research reagents will be necessary in order to dissect the mechanisms that determine what precise role APOBEC3G plays in infected cells.
Although TRIM5α is responsible for the complete block of HIV replication in Old World monkeys, its human homolog has no HIV-suppressive properties. However, the molecule PF74 has been found to prematurely uncoat HIV in target cells, by mimicking the activity of simian TRIM5α [48••]. Another IFN-induced TRIM protein which inhibits viral assembly, TRIM22, has been associated with significantly lower risk of HIV acquisition and lower viral loads or higher CD4+ T-cell counts during primary infection [49••], although its exact mechanisms of action and regulation have not yet been fully elucidated.
Ever since the discovery of its viral restriction properties in 2008 [54,61], the IFN-α-induced protein tetherin has been intensively studied. Tetherin is constitutively expressed by the plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and restricts productive HIV cell–cell transmission [62•], as well as participating in an important negative feedback loop limiting IFN responses to viral infections [63]. The HIV-1 protein Vpu interferes with tetherin [54]. The fact that HIV-1 has developed highly specific tools to antagonize tetherin clearly suggests that this host restriction factor could be a potent inhibitor of viral replication in vivo.
In contrast to the factors discussed above, the peptidyl-propyl isomerase cyclophilin A (CypA) protein expressed by host cells helps in HIV replication, by binding the HIV capsid protein p24 [46]. It has recently been discovered that a CypA inhibitor, Debio-025, blocks this interaction and reduces viral replication [47••], and may therefore have therapeutic potential.
pDCs produce more type-I IFN in response to HIV than any other cell type in the body and subsequently activate mDCs and natural killer (NK) cells as well as inducing adaptive immune responses [64•,65,66••,67••,68•,69•,70] (Fig. 4). IFN-α is both beneficial, as it inhibits virus replication early during infection, and harmful, as it contributes to chronic immune activation that drives progression to AIDS [71]. Blood pDCs and mDCs are hyperresponsive in HIV-infected individuals, indicating that they play an important role in chronic immune activation [72•]. It is hypothesized that some of the detrimental effects of chronically activated dendritic cells and extended IFN production are mediated by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) which leads to disruption of Th17/Treg T-cell balance [64•,65]. In-vitro studies show that when IFN-α is blocked using chloroquine, an antimalaria drug, pDC activation is inhibited and negative modulators of T-cell responses, such as IDO and programmed death ligand-1 (PDL-1) are suppressed [66••]. The use of chloroquine along with antiretroviral therapy may interfere with chronic immune activation in infected individuals.
Although the role of pDCs in later stages of HIV infection is not clearly understood, studies show that while HIV-infected subjects with progressive disease have a significant decline in pDCs over time, elite suppressors maintain high levels of these cells [73], indicating that they are important factors in the innate immune response. A novel association between polymorphisms in interferon-regulatory factor-7 (IRF7), a master regulator of IFN-α, and the ability of pDCs to produce IFN-α in response to HIV-1 has recently been described [74•]. Further insight into the early events in primary infection and the underlying mechanisms behind elite controller's ability to maintain pDC levels and functions will assume paramount importance to achieve elite control of HIV replication.
NK cells interact with T cells and dendritic cells to shape the magnitude and quality of adaptive immune responses [70]. This 'editing process' is impaired when the dendritic cells are infected with HIV-1, and novel findings show that this occurs because of the upregulation of two antiapoptotic molecules, cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) and cellular inhibitor of apoptosis 2 (c-IAP2) [67••]. This upregulation is reportedly controlled by high-mobility group box1 (HMGB1), a key mediator of natural killer cell–dendritic cell crosstalk. Blockade of c-FLIP and c-IAP2 or HMGB1 restored NK cell's capability to destroy HIV-infected dendritic cells [67••]. These mechanisms could possibly be targeted to eliminate infected dendritic cells early in HIV infection.
NK cells play an important role in the control of HIV infection by lysing infected cells [70]. The exact mechanisms that mediate the recognition of HIV-infected cells are not known, detection could either occur directly, through receptor-mediated interactions that have not yet been identified, or indirectly by antibody-mediated crosslinking of CD16, an Fc receptor for IgG [75]. HIV Vpu has recently been shown to inhibit surface expression of NTB-A (NK-cell, T-cell and B-cell antigen) in infected cells, thus protecting the cells from lysis [69•]. Also, the effects that HIV infection exerts on NK-cell functions remain to be elucidated as alteration in cell phenotype but cell levels has not been reported [76]. Identifying the receptors responsible for NK-cell recognition of HIV and the effects HIV viremia exerts on NK-cell functions remains a key research area. One study found that HIV progressors overexpressed NKp44L on their CD4+ T cells as compared with HIV controllers and healthy donors, causing autologous NK lysis, and that this lysis was abrogated after treatment with anti-NKp44L mAb [68•]. Such research on the specific functional activity of NK cells may have important implications for the design of new anti-HIV therapeutical strategies.
Manipulating dendritic cell, macrophage and NK-cell responses may be useful strategies in vaccine development. In a mouse model, coexpression of HIV antigens and EWS-FLI1-activated transcript 2 (EAT-2), an adapter protein that leads to activation of the signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) receptors on dendritic cells and macrophages, enhanced the induction of antigen-specific cellular immune responses and facilitated bystander activation of NK, NKT, B and T cells [77•]. Seeing that the EAT-2 adapter is conserved in both mice and humans, human vaccination strategies that specifically facilitate SLAM signaling may improve vaccine potency. The use of a genetically engineered, secreted form of heat shock protein gp96 (HSP gp96), an endoplastic-reticulum-resident chaperone, as an adjuvant in a SIV-macaque model showed some success in the induction of high levels of antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell and memory responses in rectal and vaginal mucosa [78•].
Mounting evidence suggests that innate immune responses determine susceptibility as well as disease progression in HIV infection. The goal for therapeutics targeting innate factors is a high level of protection or optimally a block of infection. Given that a recent trial has shown that mucosally applied inhibitors can confer protection from HIV-1 infection [79••], the application of potent drugs targeting innate factors present in the genital mucosa is a viable prospect for inhibiting HIV infection.

The Toronto Raptors are 13-26 and according to Hollinger's Playoff Odds, are on pace for a 30-52 finish.
Entering this season with the loss of Chris Bosh and Hedo Turkoglu, I anticipated the Raptors would max-out at 35 wins. If they reach that number, the team has overachieved. A mere 25 wins wouldn't surprise me either. Anyone who thought the Toronto could win 40 plus games was living in a fantasy world.
Bryan Colangelo has been focused on building a team around Chris Bosh since he arrived in Toronto. Now that Bosh is gone, Colangelo can build any type of team he wants and simply collect young assets.
Bringing in veterans and big name players has two major problems—these type of players generally come with a high price tag and, they won't be useful to the team a few years from now when Toronto's young core can develop into a playoff team.
The model Toronto should follow is Sam Presti and Oklahoma City Thunder. He traded away all of his veteran players and has since put together a solid core.
With that in mind here are ten players Toronto should keep an eye on, as they are young, talented and could develop into an important part of the Raptors' organization.

For reasons that don't make a lot of sense to me, investors continue to reward a host of under-performing food companies with pretty robust multiples. I understand the value of a good brand, and I don't fault investors for hanging on to Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) or PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP) even though neither are cheap, but I wonder why so many investors are happy to pay premiums to hold companies experiencing uncontrollable cost inflation and increasing elasticity from consumers.
Amidst that gloomy backdrop, Kraft (KFT) stands out in many respects. Kraft has very strong brands and has actually managed to show less price sensitivity than other North American comps. And while these shares aren't a raging bargain, they look like the cheapest idea in large-cap North American food.
Another Solid Quarter
Kraft's first quarter saw revenue rise 4% as reported, and more than 6% on an organic basis. Although the timing of the Easter holiday chipped in a meaningful benefit, price growth of 5.5% and volume growth of 1% were solid numbers. North America was soft (up 3% organic) on weaker volume, but Europe was surprisingly strong (up 7% organic), and developing markets are growing nicely.
Margins are a little convoluted because of Kraft's neverending restructuring. Gross margin slid more than a point as the company continues to absorb higher costs across the spectrum of its inputs. Operating income rose about 3% as reported, or nearly 6% on an adjusted basis, with North American results lagging a bit.
Nielsen Data And Price Sensitivity Speak Well To Kraft's Brands
It doesn't really matter if you look at Kellogg (NYSE:K), General Mills (NYSE:GIS), Campbell Soup (NYSE:CPB), Nestle (OTCPK:NSRGY), or any other packaged food manufacturer - pretty much everybody is seeing market share pressure from customers switching to private labels.
Well, pretty much everybody except Kraft. I don't mean to suggest that Kraft has been immune to the private label trend, nor that the company is gaining share everywhere, but the company has been holding up well in most of its key categories.
It's also interesting to compare the price/volume trade-offs among major North American food companies. Kellogg ends up looking best, but the year-on-year comparisons are not quite apples-to-apples because of disruptions in the year-ago period. Adjust that out, and Kraft is showing the least sensitivity of the major players.
Pondering A Post-Split Kraft
Investors certainly aren't going to forget that Kraft is about to split into two new companies - the grocery/staples-oriented "GroceryCo" and the horrifically badly named snack food business "Mondelez". With the company recently giving investors a bit more data, it's interesting to speculate on what sort of business GroceryCo will be post-split.
For starters, the company's margins aren't all that good (below 15% operating margin and pointing in the wrong direction). What's more, the company has a relatively low ROIC that puts it between grocery staples General Mills and ConAgra (NYSE:CAG). Also worth noting, this segment doesn't spend as much on promotion as other grocery companies, so margins and returns may be in some sense inflated.
GroceryCo is probably going to emerge as a slow-growth company with very strong share and a pretty high dividend payout. I do wonder, though, if there may be some interest on management's part in swapping around assets.
For instance, I'm not sure Oscar Mayer offers the margins this company wants, and they may want to think about selling it to a company like Tyson (NYSE:TSN), Smithfield (NYSE:SFD), or Brasil Foods (NYSE:BRFS) - the first two could definitely use more packaged/branded exposure, and the latter has made no secret of wanting to acquire North American brands. On the flip side, proceeds could be used for dividends, debt repayment, or the acquisition of other brands (like, perhaps, Clorox's (NYSE:CLX) salad dressing business if that were to come up for sale).
The Bottom Line
While Kraft looks like the best risk-reward trade-off in North American food, that's not to say that it's startlingly cheap in its own right. I do believe that the company can grow cash flow at a mid single-digit rate (or higher) on a consolidated basis, but that's only good enough for about 15% undervaluation. For better or worse, if investors want to invest in food they have to choose between well-valued quality companies like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, slightly cheap companies like Kraft, or more speculative stories like Brasil Foods.
Disclosure: I am long BRFS.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") will be expanding the number of generic top-level domains ("gTLDs") as a result of the application process that commenced in January 2012. It is expected that more than 1200 new gTLDs will be made available in late 2013 through 2014. Examples of some of the new gTLDs are .money, .art, .law, .lawyer, .bank, .software and .brand. Also gTLDs that contain non-Latin script, known as Internationalized Domain Names ("IDNS"), including Chinese, Arabic and other alphabets will launch first, some as early as May.
In anticipation of the scramble to register new domain names using these gTLDs, ICANN has introduced the Trademark Clearinghouse ("TMCH") which will streamline the process for registering and protecting trademarks used in these new domains by providing a single, global repository for verified trademark rights. The TMCH database, which launched on March 26, 2013, also provides sunrise and claim notice services with regard to use of those identical trademarks as second-level domain names.
The types of trademarks that can be registered with the TMCH are nationally or regionally registered trademarks, court-validated unregistered trademarks, and statute/treaty protected trademarks. The TMCH may accept and verify other types of trademarks upon the request of the domain name registries. There are also some exceptions to what is considered "identical" including, for example, the word "and" for "&". Furthermore, some non-identical but "abused" domain names (for example, typo domain names won as a result of court or UDRP proceedings) will benefit from the notice service if they are registered with the TMCH.
Advantages of Registering Trademarks with the TMCH
1. Sunrise Services
Sunrise is an initial period of at least thirty days prior to the launch of each new gTLD for trademark owners who have filed their trademarks with the TMCH to obtain second-level domain names before those domain names are offered to the general public. For example, when the gTLD for .law becomes available, White & Case would have priority to secure the domain name whitecase.law in advance of .law being made available to the public, provided it had previously filed one of its global trademark registrations for WHITE & CASE with the TMCH. Submitting a mark to the TMCH does not achieve registration of any specific domain name; a trademark owner would need to separately register the domain name with the appropriate registry, subject to that registry's rules and requirements. If the trademark owner successfully registers the desired domain name, it can either use the name for its own business purposes or simply park the name to prevent cybersquatters from doing so.
2. Notification Services
For a period of ninety days after launch of a new gTLD, a trademark owner who has filed a mark with the TMCH will receive notification when anyone attempts to register a domain name containing an identical match to the trademark validated by the TMCH. The party attempting such registration will automatically receive notice of the trademark owner's prior rights. If the domain name applicant proceeds to register the domain name, the trademark owner is notified again and can then take appropriate action through UDRP or court proceedings. It will, however, be easier to establish bad faith of the party registering the domain name since they proceeded after receiving notice of the prior validated trademark rights.
The TMCH Registration Procedure
A trademark owner (or a licensee or assignee) may submit trademarks directly to the TMCH as a "trademark holder" or they may use the services of a third party "trademark agent." Trademark agents are required to create deposit accounts of $15,000. The fees for trademark holders who file their marks directly with the TMCH can be as low as $150 per mark annually. A range of discounts are available for multiple filings and longer registration periods. Such fees should also be factored into the trademark holder's budget.

Reviewed By Gregg H (Buffalo, NY) Reviewed for a 2010 Chevy Corvette —1/5/2017 9:33 AM
Bought these ramps after contacting the manufacture over concerns about ground clearance on my 2010 Corvette Grand Sport. I was advised these would work with no problems as long as the vehicle was stock (ie.tires,suspension,lower spoiler etc). I have not had a chance to use them as of yet but they are made with the same high quality as other Brute/Race Ramp quality products that I have used in the past. Shipping was very fast as per usual with AutoAnything.

[ Movie Page: Another (2013) ]
Another (2013)
Genres: Horror, Sci-Fi, Fantasy
Type: Trailers
Duration: 2M32S
Cast: Maria Olsen, David Landry, Lillian Pennypacker, Michael St. Michaels, Nancy Wolfe, Paulie Redding
Director(s): Jason Bognacki
Jason Bognacki"s Another looks fantastic and dark according to this new movie trailer. The horror movie stars Maria Olsen, Paulie Rojas, David Landry. From the beginning of the trailer you get a deep sense of terror and dread. The trailer is beautifully executed and hopefully so is the horror movie because I am officially stoked to see it now.
Synopsis: Compelled by the possibility that she could have a dark twin, Jordyn (Paulie Rojas) questions her own sanity and reality itself. Jordyn's curiosity pulls her into a dark underworld of demonic possession, desire, and extreme indulgences churning a dead witch's brew that tears her very soul apart.

History in the wilderness
NEWCOMB – The story of one of the most important historic sites in the Adirondack Park is being told anew.
This fall, the ribbon was cut on the first phase on a series of trails, platforms and interpretive panels designed to highlight the former mining village of Adirondac, located at the end of a long, dead-end dirt road on the southern side of the High Peaks Wilderness. It's a joint effort involving the state Department of Environmental Conservation, the Open Space Institute, the town of Newcomb and other stakeholders.
There's still more that has to be done to preserve and interpret the site, but those behind the effort are hopeful that their work will give people a better understanding of its importance and draw more visitors to the area.
"It's a resource that was significant in at least regional history and, it could easily be argued, in state history in the sense of early industrial development in the state in the early 19th century," said Charles Vandrei, DEC's historic preservation officer.
'A lucky accident'
In 2003, the Open Space Institute bought the 10,000-acre Tahawus Tract in the heart of the High Peaks region from N.L. Industries, a Texas-based mining conglomerate, for $8.5 million. The parcel included what OSI's Katie Petronis described as valuable recreational assets like Henderson Lake, the Mount Adams fire tower and several trailheads that access the High Peaks Wilderness.
It also included Adirondac, sometimes called Tahawus, a former mining village that's now a ghost town of dilapidated buildings and other structures. They may not look valuable, but historically, some are very important. There's the McNaughton Cottage, where then-Vice President Teddy Roosevelt was staying in 1901 when he learned that President William McKinley was dying, leading to his famous "Midnight Ride" to the presidency. The property is also home to structures associated with the 19th century McIntyre Iron Works, none bigger than a hulking stone blast furnace that was left standing after the operation ceased in the 1850s and was slowly enveloped by the surrounding forest.
Vandrei said the fact that some of this old mining infrastructure can still be seen is what makes the property unique.
"There are a couple collapsed iron furnaces that you need to almost know what to look for or have them pointed out to you," he said. "The one that's obvious, with the signage around it, that's the latest one. They began to build it in 1848, and they only ran it for a couple years."
"Down in the wheel pit, where the water wheel was, all the hardware is still there. If you go around to other iron furnaces where the stone stack still exists, and there are a few of them in New York, that's all that's left. All the machinery and stuff that made it work was all salvaged and turned into bullets and battleships during World War I and II. This stuff wasn't because it was just too far away. It's just like a lucky accident that it survived."
Saving the site
OSI planned to sell most of the 10,000 acres to the state for addition to the Forest Preserve, "but at the same time we realized there were these incredibly important historic structures," Petronis said, "and we knew that if we transferred those structures to the state they would be nonconforming within the Forest Preserve. It would mean they would have to come down unless they were to get some sort of variance."
OSI ultimately developed a subdivision plan that carved out several hundred acres from the 10,000-acre tract to preserve and interpret as a historic area.
"We retained just the areas around the structures and the structures themselves," Petronis said. "The biggest piece is around what we call the historic core area, the old town of Adirondac and the blast furnace. That's almost 200 acres. We wanted to keep both sides of the Hudson River around the town of Adirondac because some of the structures are on the other side of the river."
Shoring up
Creating this historic area was just the beginning. Preserving and interpreting it would require time, labor and money. OSI started applying for grants and eventually secured funding from various state agencies and private foundations to perform what Petronis said was about $1 million in initial restoration work on McNaughton Cottage and the blast furnace.
"McNaughton Cottage was really just leaning," Petronis said. "It looked like it was a couple years away from complete collapse."
"The building had a huge hole in the foundation, a big hole in the roof and a hole that went from the roof to the foundation," Vandrei said. "We managed to stabilize it. That was something DEC did. We went in there with timbers and propped it up."
At the blast furnace, the trees that had grown up around the structure were cleared.
"It was collapsing from the inside out and we had to restabilize it," Petronis said. "We put a cover on the top to keep the water out. That was the first phase of restoration of the blast furnace. We do still have additional work we need to do with the blast furnace and the wheel house, closer to the river."
OSI secured a state grant to do that work, but it requires a 50 percent local match. Petronis said the organization has so exhausted its fundraising efforts in the area that it's been tough to meet the match.
Interpreting the site
More recently, a master plan for the property has been developed with involvement from local stakeholders, state agencies and other nonprofits. An interpretive plan was crafted by artist and interpretive exhibit designer Robert McNamara to help tell the history of the site.
"We ended up coming up with a plan that called for improvements that would offer sort of a trail interpretive experience throughout the site, maintaining restoration of McNaughton Cottage, and using the cottage as a visitor center and ranger station, continued restoration of the blast furnace and interpretation of the whole area," Petronis said.
Phase one of the interpretive plan, which cost about $250,000, wrapped up this fall. It includes a trail around the blast furnace and former wheel house building along the Hudson River, complete with observation decks and interpretive panels that explain how the furnace operated. The town of Newcomb built a parking area next to the road big enough to accomodate school buses. The next phase of work will take place a short distance up the road and focus on interpreting McNaughton Cottage and the site's connection to the Hudson River.
There are other buildings on the property that were used by sportsmen's clubs and, later, as housing when N.L. Industries had an active titantium mine nearby. Those structures aren't considered historic, except for some of their foundations, so Petronis said they aren't going to see any preservation work, at least for now.
"Some people think they should be taken down because they're an attractive nuisance and a safety hazard," Petronis said. "Other people feel very strongly that it enhances the visitor experience when you drive through there, you see this ghost town and it piques your curiosity. We've never been able to get a consensus for stakeholders, and so as a result we've just been letting them gradually collapse on their own."
Significant history
Vandrei said he's been involved with historic preservation efforts at Adirondac for 20 years.
"I look at it a number of different ways," he said. "For one thing, a site like this can be a tourism attraction. A lot of people are interested in early industries, mills and ironworks and things like that. If you want people to come see it, you need to take care of it and make it accessible to people.
"On another level, this kind of place, it has the potential to teach us a lot of things about the human spirit. You think of these guys who tried to make it work in what many people would see as an impossible situation.
"It's also a lesson in how people can reach too far," Vandrei added. "They really tried to push the envelope on a lot of things and, in the end, weren't successful."
Petronis said many people drive by the old mining town on their way to hike in the High Peaks. Annually, DEC says more than 8,000 people sign in at the three trailheads off of the Tahawus road.
"Getting people, as they're passing through, to understand that there's this other really important uniquely Adirondack feature to the area is great," Petronis said.

Reminders - Due Date Issues
Yesterday it worked. Today I no longer can assign just a due date. Can only assign a remind date & time. Yesterday there was a option "all day".
This is driving me nuts.
This is the case both on my iPhone 4S and iPad 2
Other Issues:
The app will suddenly shut down while I using it. Mostly on iPad 2
Anyone else?
- 03-23-2012, 01:58 PM Thread Author #3
The due date on those appears just below Remind Me.
This was a new and needed field that appeared after IOS 5.1
Also, if I go to iCloud.com on my Windows laptop, due date is available without the time. (this has been available for some time.
Good Luck

Well the "all day" option for "due date"field was displaying this morning and now nothing.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave up on Reminders the day it became available on the iOS. Its functionality is limited and the inability to view reminders by date (rather than by date inputted only) is fairly useless to me. I shoved its icon into a folder I call 'Junk Drawer' and turned off it's sync to iCloud.
Until Apple gets around to fixing it (I'm not holding my breath - still waiting on Mail, which still has the functionality found in iOS 1), I've been using a Google Calendar account I have and sync'ing it's Tasks to my iDevices using gTasks. That works as expected.

Only thing that's a bummer is no custom reminders for repeats. For instance, we have something we do every other week - but I can't set a reminder for every other week, short of setting two weekly reminders, one week apart. Kind of stupid. Have to do the same for things we have to do twice a week.

I actually like reminders. I like the simplicity of it. For me it's great. For repeat stuff I use the calendar.

I'll post when it shows up again on my iPad 2 or my iPhone 4S and you can check yours thinking perhaps is has something to do with iCloud syncing or whose knows.
Two days ago when it appeared I went in and removd all the remind me times and set everything to all day on due date.
Good Luck

OK Guys, I think found a workaround to display the "all day" option in Reminders on our iPads and iPhones.
Access iCloud.com on your laptop or desktop.
Find Reminders, mine displays on the right side of my Calendar.
Open the Reminder that has a time assigned to it.
You should have a choice to select "none" for the due time.
Once you select none, open Reminders on your iPad or iPhone and determine if the due time is no longer displaying. (make sure it had time to sync) If the time is still showing up, edit your Reminder and the choice of "all day" should be there.
Don't know how long this will work.
Good Luck

Unfortunately, I didn't hear or sent any mention that "Reminders" was gonna get a tweak when iOS6 is released.
I hope they do something to imorove it. I use it religiously.
Good Luck

It only seems to work, as stated above, of you select due date in iCloud.com for each reminder. Here's a SS of one of mine:

All day option is missing on new reminders. That's a known issue.
This is a known issue that has not been addressed as of yet.
If you want to convince yourself here a reminder with and without the "all-day" option. If the reminder is created in iPhone it doesn't have the option. If you sync it and edit elsewhere (or create one elsewhere) for example in Yahoo or iCloud (anywhere where the all-day option for reminder is available) and when you sync is back to iPhone the option will be there:

Re: All day option is missing on new reminders. That's a known issue.
This issue still occurs of course, with iOS 6.0. I have Outlook on a desktop that syncs to iCloud via the iCloud Control panel, an iPad, and an iPhone.
Creating a reminder on the iOS devices (or iCloud web page), no due date occurs or can be accessed.
All I have to do, is once new reminder syncs to the desktop, is open it, and save it, with no changes, and the due date option/field appears!
I wish this would be fixed.

Well Known U.S. Photographer Moves to East Grinstead, U.K.
American photographer and noted food blogger, Taylor Young has recently moved across the pond and has now set up his business in East Grinstead, England.
The move was prompted largely in part due to his marriage to a British citizen in August of 2008. But, he has always had a fondness for England. "I love England. I first went there in 2001 to study at Cambridge University on a summer abroad program offered by my college. And I fell in love. It was actually there that my photography started to blossom and develop. England helped me become the photographer that I am today."
Taylor is known for his food photography, but also for his well rounded approach to photography. "I shoot everything. Most professional photographers that I know specialize in one type of photography. Whether it's portrait, weddings, food, corporate, sports. They focus in on one type of photography and don't branch out much from there. I'm a photographer. It's what I do, but it's also who I am. I can and do shoot everything."
When Taylor was asked why he made the move he responded by saying, "Well, getting married to a Brit helped me in my decision, but also, East Grinstead is an ideal location for photographers in England. It's 45 minutes to London by train. It is surrounded by National Trusts and sites of exquisite beauty. I'm very happy here. I can see my photography improving everyday living amongst all this beauty."

About Taylor Young Photography:
Though I did receive accolades for my work, there was, for me, something missing. That something was my photographic art. While I was generally able to incorporate that creative aspect into marketing campaigns I created for companies, it was when I was behind the lens that I found total enjoyment, and fulfillment, in my work. Thus, I decided to take the plunge and dedicate myself full-time to photographic art.
My philosophy is very simple: Provide my clients more than what they asked for or would expect. http://www.tayloryoungphotography.com

Scared for my puppy, please help!
My beloved puppy (male, uncut, 9 months) is growling and being aggressive. We received a call from our apartment manager that there had been a complaint. I am terrified that this will happen again and they will try to evict us, or report him as a dangerous dog and try to kill him. Please help either with strategies or anxiety management or sanity check. I love him and am desperate. [more inside]
Need quick thoughts - apartment hunt crisis!
Apartment hunting in Brooklyn moves a mile a minute and we have a quick decision to make. There's a good apartment in park slope. We love the idea of it but there's one weird thing: there's a "bump" in the ceiling. The ceiling is sort of tiled, and the area under the light fixture buckles down into a ~meter wide contact lens-like shape. It's odd, and the landlord doesn't plan to "fix" it because he says there's no problem. There's no sign of mold or leaking there or anywhere else in the apartment for that matter. Questions: 1) What concerns should we have and 2) should we sign a lease? For those who don't know NY housing hunts, if you don't decide, someone else will and then you're back to square 1, so hoping folks can weigh in with everything we should be thinking about! (and I don't know how to post a picture, but will if someone tells me how!)

Apartment equivalent of a lemon?
I came home to my ceiling leaking brown water this evening. After a few phone calls from me to the 24/7 answering service my landlord has set up, a maintenance man finally showed up. He deduced that the hot water pipes in the floor between my ceiling an my neighbor to the north's floor had burst. Meanwhile my counters, appliances drywall ceiling/wall/electrical outlets/lights and wood floors are soaked. The maintenance man said he turned off the water flow to the burst pipe, and said he would return tomorrow to ensure the walls/ceiling had dried, but I'm not comfortable with that response --- I feel that all of the waterlogged drywall/floor should be replaced and the appliances should be replaced. What do I do? Should I call a lawyer? Should I write/mail a certified letter to the landlord? I'd like action now, but feel like I'm being out by the wayside. Please help!
What are my rights?
I live in an apartment with someone who was, until recently, a good friend. We're both on the lease. I've been unemployed for some time & he agreed to pick up my half of the rent until I get a new job. That's recently changed & now he's threatening to throw my things out & evict me. [more inside]

landlord trying to replace carpets that don't need replacing
my landlord is trying to make me pay for replacing the carpets when they do not warrant a replacement, and she will not stick to a verbally (and textually) agreed upon date of moving out early (which was her idea so that her new owner could move in asap) unless we agree to replacing the carpets.

The current 3 series is indistinguishable from the previous model, except for slightly different shaped headlights.
When are they actually going to *design* a new model, rather than just rehash the old one with different lights a la MINI?
(Then, when Honda/Toyota/Lexus brings out an attractive new model, the German biased motoring media have the nerve to call them "boring"????)
