'Alcohol makes other people less tedious' as Christopher Hitchens said it in an article on the benefit of a diet heavy in grapes and grain. But it's more than intolerable conversation that causes so many to not just drink - but to smoke, snort and swallow.
Five years after the financial crisis, huge swathes of Britain are suffering, millions are unemployed, and millions more drown in debt and exist on the bread line, the only source of succour, of solace, for many is at the bottom of a glass or the end of a cigarette. When I was unemployed the best release from reality I had was in alcohol. With as little as I had I always had enough for alcohol, regardless of how much it cost. If it was a case of a pint or the last bus, I would take the long walk home. As the cost of alcohol increased so did my early morning walks.
Rather than challenge the causes of such dissipation, the government argues for deterrence; a fatuous argument which assumes that those given to alcohol, cigarettes and drugs the most will likely stop should the cost be high enough. It is a false assumption, but one which this government and others will continue to regard as true.
Cameron may have copped out on minimum pricing, but the cost of alcohol in Britain has increased as wages have decreased with a unit now 43 per cent above the EU average.
Yet while the percentage of UK adults drinking alcohol weekly fell from 65 per cent to 58 per cent between 2005 and 2012, the sloshed and the soused still sit loudly in emergency rooms, soaked in alcohol, blood and piss.
According to NHS statistics, 36 per cent of those admitted for alcohol use were from the most deprived income group; alcohol abuse has not abated. How will the government likely react; raise the cost again, in the hope it will work this time round. It won't.
The Irish government tried it with cigarettes. Taxes were raised year on year and the cost of cigarettes increased by 50 per cent between 2004 and 2010 (the cost of tobacco in Ireland is double the EU average).
Just as the devotion of Ireland's Catholics can be deduced by how many are in the pews on a Sunday, the devotion of Irish smokers can be by how many are in pub smoking areas on a Saturday.
Even in the deepest depths of winter, there is a constant cacophony under shallow street awnings as Irish smokers grip their expensive alcohol (68 per cent above the EU average) in one hand while drawing on their cheap illegal cigarettes with the other.
Ireland is now a 'haven for illegal cigarettes' as smokers turn to criminal gangs to circumvent taxation. Efforts to curb smoking by increased cost failed (only the Greeks and Russians smoke more in Europe). Exorbitant cost, be it through increased taxation or minimum pricing, will not be enough to get the British to give up their sins, so what's left - possible prohibition.
Peter Hitchens argues for deterrence and put forth the view on Newsnight last year that the most punitive prohibition will deter drug use, and many agree with him. Well, no western country is more punitive in its approach to drug use than the United States.
The United States incarcerates more for drug offences(223,000) than any other country and imposes the most draconian of sentences upon them. In 2010, Patricia Spottedcrow, an Oklahoma mother of four, was sentenced to 12 years, for selling just $31 worth of cannabis, and yet in 2010 52 per cent of Americans aged 15 to 34 admitted to cannabis use, the highest in the world , whereas in Holland it was just 32 per cent. Prohibition hasn't worked.
There's no one simple and definite solution to substance abuse but the argument for deterrence is not one. If millions want to drink, smoke, snort and swallow then they will, whether it's expensive or not, whether it's legal or not. If the Government wants them to stop, it needs to give them greater reason to; a reality they don't want release from.

Stephen Cooper originally wasn't invited back by the Chargers, but then was re-signed Aug. 12, only to suffer a torn biceps late in the preseason. He convinced the front office not to place him on injured reserve at the time, but the team decided Tuesday that it couldn't afford to hold his roster spot any longer.
Hayes was released by Arizona shortly after the lockout ended in late July. He had been working out in Arizona and received a few calls, but he told the San Diego Union-Tribune that the other opportunities "didn't look that good to me."
Then San Diego called with a one-year offer and the opportunity to back up Takeo Spikes at the inside "Mike" position.
The Chargers are on their bye week, giving Hayes two weeks to up-ramp on the defense before being thrown into a game situation.
"It's a good opportunity right now being able to get signed (during) the bye," Hayes said. "It gives me an opportunity to know what's going on."
Chargers' Schedule Only Gets Tougher
The Chargers have a 4-1 record, first-place digs in the AFC West and a week off to get the feet up on the couch.
Ah, life is good in San Diego.
"It hasn't been an easy 4-1, and I think that keeps you focused and critical of yourself," quarterback Philip Rivers said.
As usual, Rivers, the son of a high school coach, is right. While the Chargers enjoy their position, they realize there's work to be done in the three days of practice during their bye.
The team's red-zone woes are considerable. The pass protection needs some work. The run defense is showing leaks. The ability to close off seemingly inferior opponents has yet to show itself.
Yes, the Chargers are 4-1, but those four wins have come courtesy of the Vikings (1-4), Chiefs (2-3), Dolphins (0-4) and the Broncos (1-4).
Not exactly a 1985 Bears in the bunch. And while that might diminish the Chargers' quick start, it doesn't erase it.
San Diego's schedule gets tougher after the bye. In the Chargers' mind, they have much room for improvement, so coach Norv Turner has plenty on his to-do list.
Most important is that the time off will give the Chargers a chance to exhale while letting the ailing get better.
The Chargers limped to the bye with running backs Ryan Mathews and Mike Tolbert sustaining injuries in Sunday's game. Then there's wide receiver Vincent Jackson's cranky hamstring which got tested -- maybe too much -- in Denver.
Others are in various stages of their rehabilitations -- tight end Antonio Gates being the most critical -- and this down time will accelerate their comebacks.
Turner hopes to be nearly at full strength when the Chargers next play, Oct. 23 against the Jets.
He's also hoping the areas that need to be cleaned up have a new shine when the team gets back in action.
Rivers Likes Team's Results Better than His Stats
Quarterback Philip Rivers isn't thrilled with his play, but he's not complaining about his team's record. "Well, it's going to all come together at some point," said Rivers, who has nine turnovers (seven interceptions) and six touchdown passes.
"Honestly, I know I keep saying it, but we're 4-1. That was the only goal we had coming (to Denver). I think if you told us September 11 you'll be 4-1 at the bye, we'd say, 'We'll be 5-0, we're going to try and be 5-0.' But we've won four of five."
--With more wins comes more confidence, and when the tough sledding starts after the team returns from the bye, that increased belief should serve the Chargers well. "I think everyone on this team believes in each other," fullback Jacob Hester said. "We don't care if we're pretty or not, we're 4-1."
Hester made sure of that by contributing a career-high 47 yards on 11 carries at Denver. He was switched to running back during the game, after injuries to Ryan Mathews and Mike Tolbert.
--Among the Chargers' shortcomings has been their lack of success in the red zone. That showed again Sunday when the team scored but one touchdown in four red-zone trips. The Chargers are among the worst in the league inside the opponents' 20, producing touchdowns only 40.9 percent of the time.
"I'd like to get touchdowns, but we seem to have that one bad play that takes us out of that position," coach Norv Turner said after San Diego settled for three field goals against the Broncos. "That will be a major emphasis for us over this next week."
--RB Mike Tolbert suffered a concussion Sunday, but early indications are it won't keep him from the Chargers' next game. Tolbert's touches have gone down with Ryan Mathews starting to emerge as the featured back. Before getting hurt, Tolbert did have five carries (24 yards) and three receptions (25 yards).
--WR Vincent Jackson was trying to get to the bye without seriously compromising his strained hamstring. Jackson got out of the Denver game OK, although he is really welcoming the week of rest. Jackson had three catches for 34 yards Sunday.
--WR Malcom Floyd has been slowed with a groin pull that he was trying to nurse until the bye. Floyd had the Chargers' only touchdown catch Sunday, and he finished with 100 yards on just three catches. Floyd and WR Vincent Jackson supply the deep threat that stretches defenses.
--TE Randy McMichael gets an atta-boy for his work Sunday. Filling in for Antonio Gates, he caught a team-high four passes for 29 yards. But when a rash of injuries hit the backfield, forcing Jacob Hester to switch from fullback to running back, McMichael slid over and filled the fullback's job.
--ILB Donald Butler has shown why the Chargers were so downbeat after he blew out his Achilles tendon in camp last year, forcing him to miss the season. Butler recorded his first NFL interception Sunday and has usually been in the right spot at the right time this year, his first as a starter. Butler also had four tackles and a pass defensed Sunday.
--SS Steve Gregory continues to start after Bob Sanders was forced to injured reserve with a knee injury. Gregory can cover the range, although he's not the physical presence that Sanders was; few are. Gregory, though, was a no-show on Sunday's stat sheet with zero tackles on a day when the defense allowed 162 yards rushing.
--K Nick Novak has been a find after Nate Kaeding went on injured reserve with a knee injury. Novak has hit all 11 of his field-goal attempts for the Chargers, and his five field goals were the difference Sunday.
--WR/PR Patrick Crayton is seeing more action when the team goes to three wides, and it seems as if QB Philip Rivers is looking his way more. Crayton was targeted twice Sunday, catching one ball for 10 yards. His best punt return, a 29-yarder, was significant.
--RB Jordan Todman could be active against the Jets after he was a healthy inactive the first five games. Coach Norv Turner got caught short on running backs when Ryan Mathews and Mike Tolbert went down Sunday. That might cause Turner to carry an extra back against the Jets.
--DE Luis Castillo isn't going to return until at least November. Castillo is out with a broken leg.
--OLB Larry English remains a backup, as he couldn't build on his two-sack game leading up to the Denver game. English did have two tackles, but he didn't get any sacks or quarterback hits. Travis LaBoy remains the starter.

They Don't Know Me. . .
They know my name,-
and they know my style.
They think I'm the same-
But they don't know me...
They know what I like.
And they know all the while-
or so they think-
But they don't know me...
They think I'm down
In every way lost
"I could be kicked around"-
But I'm not the same...
All these years-
swallowed by the cost.
Drenched in tears-
But I have changed.
I used to lose hope-
at the first sign of failure.
A downhill slope...
They used to know me...
Until I met God
He helped me mature-
Now He's my rod-
They sure don't know me...
Not the least bit-
At least-not anymore.
I can take any hit-
Let the storm worsen.
Without walking in the room-
Only their foot in the door-
They like to assume-
But I'm not the same person-
...And they don't know me.

Often when you're filming something for a large audience, you refrain from saying anything that could be deemed as awkward. You just don't need that sort of aggro or embarrassment.
But when you're this guy, that rule goes out the window from the get go. We have no idea who he is, but this seems to be some sort of movie review show by The Young Turks. So we'll go with that.
Anyway, we're concentrating on the guy far right with the glasses. He pretty much admits to possibly one of the worst things you can admit too, so casually, then pulls out his shovel and and starts digging.
It's INCREDIBLY awkward. But who doesn't love a bit of awkward? It's my favourite thing, to be honest.

Turkey Stocks Set for Longest Losing Streak in 10 Months on IraqConstantine Courcoulas
Turkish stocks headed for their longest losing streak in more than 10 months while government bonds fell as tension escalated in neighboring Iraq and before a Moody's Investors Service review.
The Borsa Istanbul 100 Index lost 0.3 percent to 78,647.09 at 2:19 p.m. in Istanbul, taking its seven-day retreat to 6.6 percent, the longest stretch of losses since a similar period ended Sept. 30. Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri AS slid 1.1 percent as 57 of the gauge's shares declined. The yield on two-year government notes climbed one basis point to 9.33 percent and the lira gained, trimming this week's drop to 1.3 percent.
Lira assets, which have come under pressure before the nation's first direct presidential election this weekend, extended declines after U.S. President Barack Obama authorized air strikes against extremist Islamic militants in Iraq, which shares a border with Turkey. The local currency has fallen 1.3 percent against the dollar this week, the worst performer after the ruble and Brazilian real among 24 emerging markets.
"In a risk-off environment where carry trade unwind is happening, possible military involvement in northern Iraq" affects the lira's performance, Isik Okte, an Istanbul-based strategist at Teb Investment, said in an e-mailed report. "Unless something changes in the macro picture, we expect negative decoupling to continue" with other emerging markets.
Borrowing in dollars to fund purchases of lira debt lost
1.3 percent this month, second only to the ruble in developing Europe and Africa.
Moody's Review
The equity gauge, which is up 16 percent this year, is also facing selling pressure before the statement from Moody's, which raised the sovereign to its lowest investment grade Baa3 rating in May 2013. It cut the outlook to negative 11 months later.
Moody's, which cited political uncertainty, lower global liquidity and pressure on external financing for its outlook revision in April, will release a Turkey update today. Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci said Aug. 5 he would be surprised if the rating company's assessment was positive, according to an interview on CNBC-e television.
"After Economy Minister Zeybekci's comments, the perception that maybe a downgrade is coming was created," Fatih Keresteci, an Istanbul-based strategist at HSBC Holdings Plc, said in an e-mailed report. "Even though we don't expect a downgrade from Moody's in any way, such an announcement would take Turkey out of the class of investable economies. The effect on the markets could be very strong."
Fitch Ratings affirmed its BBB- investment grade rating for Turkey, with a stable outlook, in April, while Standard & Poor's ranks the sovereign BB+, its highest junk score.

There have been at least 128 cases reported rn South Texas, with the bulk of the victims in Del Rio and San Antonio, the state Department of Health reported. "I wish I kpew" "hat caused the outbreak, said Tom Griffith, head of the 21-county Region 9 of the state health department "We were just going over the statistics this morning," he said Monday. "I hope we've got it nipped rn the bud but we're not positive " Region 9 includes an area bordered by Del Rio to the west. Seguin to the east, Cotulla to the south and Gillespie County to the north. Griffith said 67 cases have been reported in Val Verde County and 50 in Bexar County. Of the cases reported in Texas this year. Griffith said 90 percent have been in South Texas The totals, he said, are the most Region 9 has had in its history or at least in the last IO years " Bob Crider, director of the immunology division of the state health department, said there were 60 pertussis cases reported last year in Texas Of those, three died, he said Griffith said the health department advertised free innoculation clinics in Del Rio last week Free shots also have been available in San Antonio.

"Jumbo" Evans and Sheriff may see pay raise By ULLIAN THOMAS Staff writer Comal County sheriff may be given a raise from 128.000 up to (24.000 and the chief deputy may receive a raise up to $25,000 from $21,000. • That job * sheriff's > has been severely underpaid for years. If it had been anyone besides Sheriff (Walteri Fellers, he would have been in here raising cain over what he makes," County Judge Fred Clark said rn a budget heanng Monday. "But because of his nature, he has just put up with it." Clark wanted a bigger difference between the chief deputy's salary and the chief investigator's salary because of the difference in responsibility. All of these increases had been en last year's budget, and commissioners at that time could not understand the need to give these positions a sizeable increase Commissioners also discussed hiring two more deputies, replacing the investigator who recently quit and supplying deputies with their weapons Now deputies supply their own weapons "1 would rather do without one of the deputies than try to do without that investigator,'' the sheriff said. Commissioners had discussed last week giving the district attorney's office an investigator and See COUNTY, Page 8A Three injured in shooting By DEBBIE DeLOACH Staff writer A 19-year-old Mexican national, who was shot in the chest Saturday night at Luke's Gateway Store in Bulverde, was listed in fair condition today at Medical Center Hospital. James Burton Montgomery, 39, of San Antonio was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, in connection with the shooting. His 27-year-old companion, Jill Lenore Morgan, was arrested for disorderly conduct, and her young daughter was released to the custody of Morgan's parents. Comal County Sheriff's LL Rudy Rubio said Department of Public Safety Trooper Tim Jackson and Sheriff's Deputy Jeff Pickett stopped Montgomery's cream-colored Buick just minutes after the shooting. The car was headed north on U.S. Highway 281 about one-quarter mile south of Highway 46 when it was stopped. Rubio said the shooting incident started as an apparent fight in the store between Montgomery ?nd the 19-year-old victim. Witnesses said the 19-year-old picked up the last cold six-pack of beer, and that caused tempers to fly. "He (the Mexican national) walked outside and was hit in the face with a rifle," Rubio said. He was then shot once in the upper left chest. See SHOOTING. Page 8A CISD proposes 21-cent tax hike By DEBBIE DeLOACH Staff writer Comal ISD trustees have adopted a $15 million operating budget for the 1985-86 school year, which includes a proposed tax hike from 83.7 cents to $1 946 per $100 valuation. About 20 patrons came to Monday night's special meeting to ask questions about the budget, and complain about rising taxes for all directions. One patron said. "I think what we're trying to say is we're hurting on taxes. What you're hearing from us is to keep everything to the bare bones." Superintendent Bill Brown said the 1985-86 budget was as "bare bones" as it could be. "In my 22 years in education, ll as a superintendent, I've never gone through a budget like this day and night to see what could be done for the taxpayer. My hat really goes off to this staff," he added. If approved, about 23 cents of that $1,046 tax rate would go toward See CISD, Page 8ANew Braunfels gives OK for interim drainage ordinance By DANA OVERSTREET Staff writer A special committee studying ways to eliminate drainage problems in New Braunfels received the go-ahead Monday to prepare an interim ordinance for Hie city. The drainage committee, appointed by New Braunfels City Council last year, recommended in December that the city pass an emergency drainage ordinance The group also suggested that the city conduct a drainage master plan, which would lead to a permanent ordinance Then in May, committee chairman Gene Rutherford reported that there were some problems in the enforcement of the emergency ordinance And in June, following complaints from builders and developers, the Comal County Builders Association asked for a moratorium on the emergency ordinance and called for the hiring of a full-time city engineer Earlier this month, Rutherford and his committee presented council with suggested changes to the emergency ordinance, including the development of the interim drainage ordinance, the establishment of an intenm drainage commission, and the employment of an engineer. And Monday, Rutherford asked for and received direction from council to finalize the draft copy for presentation to council at its next meeting. In other action, council: — learned that work could begin this week on the widening of a drainage structure between Old McQueeney Road and FM 725. "It looks like one of those cases where what will help the developer will help the city to the tune of saving about $30,000 that would be spent out of the dramge bond issue," said City Manager Joe Michie Michie said a nearby contractor, who will do the digging, also needs the dirt to raise his property.

The new budget goes into effect Jan. I. District directors also agreed again Monday not to seek space in the Comal County courthouse annex.

The approved budget of $564,850 includes $340,150 in the salary account ($379,900 originally was proposed) which will pay for a new clerk and some merit pay increases. No new appraisers will be hired. The original subnussion for the rent account was $45,000, but that was pared down to $35,000 in the approved document. Paul Davis, mayor of Garden estimating that 45 people will be killed on the state's highways and roads See Page 4A. Ridge, sent the directors a second letter stating the opposition of that council to the budget. Garden Ridge is one of the district's IO taxing entities. The letter opposed any increase in budget over the 1985 figure of $512,850. Also Monday, the directors agreed to continue looking for more space for the growing appraisal district offices and to not accept an offer from Comal County Comnussioners. In May, the directors emerged froma two-hour closed session to decline commissioners' first offer of 3,900 square feet. The second offer was for no more than 4,300 square feet at a cost of $65 per square foot per month. In that offer, cost of utilities and janitorial services would be caiuculated on a pro rata basis and the district would pay for 18 employee parking spaces. The appraisal district, now housed in 2,184 square feet, pays 44 cents per square foot per month and $15 per month for sewer service.

A teenager has been found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting an eight-year-old girl in west London.
The 14-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded not guilty at West London Youth Court to one charge of rape and two charges of sexual assault against a girl under the age of 13.
The teenager, who was just 13 years old at the time of the offences, was found guilty of two charges – one of rape and one of sexual assault - on August 25.
A third charge of sexual assault will lie on file.
The offences all took place in Feltham in March 2014.
The boy has been released on conditional bail and will next appear before District Judge Stephen Day at Ealing Magistrates' Court on October 9.

SCT for Dyskeratosis Congenita or SAA

- How to Read a Study Record
Transplantation with stem cells is a standard therapy in many centers around the world. Previous experience with stem cell transplantation therapy for leukemias, lymphomas, other cancers, aplastic anemia and other non-malignant diseases, has led to prolonged disease-free survival or cure for some patients. However, the high doses of pre-transplant radiation and chemotherapy drugs used, and the type of drugs used, often cause many side effects that are intolerable for some patients. Slow recovery of blood counts is a frequent complication of high dose pre-transplant regimens, resulting in a longer period of risk for bleeding and infection plus a longer time in the hospital.
Recent studies have shown that using lower doses of radiation and chemotherapy (ones that do not completely kill all of the patient's bone marrow cells) before blood or bone marrow transplant, may be a better treatment for high risk patients, such as those with Dyskeratosis Congenita (DC) or Severe Aplastic Anemia(SAA). These low dose transplants may result in shorter periods of low blood counts, and blood counts that do not go as low as with traditional pre-transplant radiation and chemotherapy. Furthermore, in patients with Dyskeratosis Congenita or SAA, the stem cell transplant will replace the blood forming cells with healthy cells.
It has recently been shown that healthy marrow can take and grow after transplantation which uses doses of chemotherapy and radiation that are much lower than that given to patients with leukemia. While high doses of chemotherapy and radiation may be necessary to get rid of leukemia, this may not be important to patients with Dyskeratosis Congenita or SAA. The purpose of this research is to see if this lower dose chemotherapy and radiation regimen followed by transplant is a safe and effective treatment for patients with Dyskeratosis Congenita or SAA.

Detailed Description:
This is an open label, single arm, phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment regimen. Efficacy will be measured by long-term engraftment of the transplanted cells.The primary endpoint of neutrophil engraftment is defined as an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >5 x 108/L (first of three consecutive laboratory measurements on different days) with at least 10% donor cells by day 100. We will evaluate the proportion of success (P) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) for the entire group. The null hypothesis of 90% engraftment will be rejected if 4 or more patients fail to engraft out of 15 evaluable patients. The secondary endpoints of regimen related mortality, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and secondary malignancies will be estimated by cumulative incidence treating non-event deaths as a competing risk. Survival will be estimated by Kaplan-Meier methods. Immune reconstitution will be summarized with descriptive statistics.
SAA and DC arms will be analyzed separately.

The Sea Epic
This is the beginning of a poem I wrote a couple of years ago, inspired by the Emil Nolde painting The Sea B (which is in the Tate). It's probably about a pagan messiah figure, a man to whom nature is sort of an extension of himself.
Peacock clouds compress oppressive rusting mustard skies,
Straining for the heaving heavens, swell-top droplets fly,
And toiling in the rain-spoiled roiling, unheard seabirds cry.
Lumbering their foetid fervour, undulations run,
Death-cold depths drag driftwood farther from the living sun,
And in the tug, in net-wreathed grandeur, stands the Storm-Sung One.
Around his form the storm-eye lies and holds the water still,
His finger clicks a thunder-crack, the lightnings smite his will,
And every tear a raindrop, as the stained and rent skies fill.
His heart's as long and frostbit as the lying leagues below,
His mind's a placid torrent of the deepest indigo,
And watch his taut eyes slacken as the tumbling wave crests grow.
That face is shadowed corners while a storm-riff fills the air,
He summons the horizon and a far off clifftop there,
And stepping from his vessel shakes the darkness from his hair.

Nissan car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their NV1500 around town. It's not a regular occurrence that you find yourself in need of a replacement Thermostats to repair your vehicle. Anyone who drives a Nissan knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the highest quality replacement parts will do. You bought your NV1500 because its best-in-class value and economical pricing agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts?
Your car or truck uses liquid coolant to maintain a constant temperature in the engine, and its thermostat keeps the coolant flowing in the right direction so that your engine can maintain a constant and ideal operating temperature. On start-up, the thermostat remains closed; bypassing the flow of coolant through your radiator. This gets the coolant hot so that the engine warms up. Once it reaches an optimal operating temperature, your Nissan NV1500 thermostat responds by directing coolant to the radiator. Now your coolant gets cooled as it recirculates through your Nissan NV1500 engine; keeping it at a steady and controlled temperature determined for the engine to achieve the best balance between power, fuel efficiency, and emissions... all thanks to the thermostat.
Ordering new Nissan parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the most superior original and aftermarket replacement NV1500 parts on the internet. Don't let a Thermostats repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality repair parts. Given all the hassles associated with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Nissan NV1500 Thermostats for your 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 model.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
A friend of mine has a small business she's been operating for the past year. Before she opened her business, she went down to the country clerks office and ran a business name search. She didn't see anyone having the same name so she registered it as her DBA.
Fast forward a year later and she gets a call from another business saying she's using their business name. The reason their name didn't come up in the county search is they're a Corporation and they are registered with the state. They have been in business for 18 years doing the same thing she's doing.
They gave her 30 days to change her name or they will litigate…is she screwed?
A corporate name (registered with the CA Secretary of State) isn't a trademark, and neither is a DBA (registered with the County Recorder), and checking with the County Recorder wouldn't disclose existing corporations, or LLCs, or partnerships, or any other person or company with a trademark, or with the same or a confusing similar domain name (registered with an internet registrar) and internet address.
This other company has been around a lot longer presumably using their corporate name as their trademark, so they have superior "common law" rights to those of you (or your friend), even if they haven't registered the name for a state trademark with the CA Secretary of State, or for a federal trademark with the USPTO. They can't litigate without a trademark registration, however, so you need to check the facts with a lawyer who can evaluate your (or youlr friend's) and this other company's respective rights.
Disclaimer: Please note that this answer does not constitute legal advice, and should not be relied on, since each state has different laws, each situation is fact specific, and it is impossible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the facts and documents at issue. This answer does not create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
Business names and corporate names are not trademarks, unless they are used as trademarks. If the corporation has not registered the name as a trademark, they only have common law rights and only in their immediate trading area where the mark is known to consumers. Your friend should seek the advice of an attorney in her area.
Kevin B. Murphy, B.S., M.B.A., J.D. - Mr. FranchiseAsk a similar question
Trademark law and trade name law, while overlapping, are both discrete bodies of law.
The states create a lot of trade name law -- usually by establishing one broad statute and then, according to the political strength of particular industry groups, by passing lots and lots of statutes protecting the naming rights of the companies working in those politically-powerful industries. Similarly, states very often control the naming rights of companies working in the licensed professions. The adoption, use, and enforcement of trade names are, therefore, very often controlled by state law -- wholly apart and separate from trademark law.
To be clear, trade names are protected from infringement nearly [if not exactly] to the same extent that trademarks are protected. Though, admittedly, trade name infringement claims may arise under state law.
California has passed a statute that directly answers your question. See Business and Professions Code section 14416 at http://j.mp/bapEQF .
In short, if a corporation is registered in, and doing business in, California and it existed before a company using the same name filed a fictitious business name statement for the same or a confusingly similar name, then the corporation's rights in its name trumps the other company's rights to use the name -- and it can, therefore, force that other company to change its name.Ask a similar question
Cal. Business & Professions Code section 14416 states: "If, as to the same or a confusingly similar trade name, in a county, there are both a corporation entitled to the rebuttable presumption created by Section 14415 and a registrant entitled to the benefit of the presumption created by Section 14411, whichever has filed the fictitious business name statement, filed the articles of incorporation, or obtained the certificate of qualification first in time, and is actually engaged in a trade or business utilizing such fictitious business name, such corporate name, or a confusingly similar name, shall be entitled to the presumption as against the other, that he has the exclusive right to use such fictitious business name, or such corporate name, or a confusingly similar name, as a trade name in the county where the registrant has filed his fictitious business name statement."
So the answer is: yes, you friend is screwed.

The brisk air outside the terminal was a bit of a surprise, and sent us all looking for our jackets. The short taxi ride home was uneventful, and it was around 7:15 pm by the time we got everything inside. We each headed for a shower and it was almost a race to see who could get into bed first.

ESPN lost 4 million subscribers in the past year.
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Business Facts
Stashed in: Awesome, Monetization, Active Users, ESPN!, Comcast
In the past five years ESPN has lost 11,346,000 subscribers according to Nielsen data.
If you combine that with ESPN2 and ESPNU subscriber losses this means that ESPN has lost over a billion dollars in cable and satellite revenue just in the past five years, an average of $200 million each year. That total of a billion dollars hits ESPN in the pocketbook not just on a yearly basis, but for every year going forward.
It's gone forever.
In the past year ESPN lost 4.159 million subscribers, that's another $350 million in lost revenue across the ESPN family of networks.
The time has come for Verizon to steal the NFL and NBA from ESPN.
ESPN presently has 88,781,000 subscribers, down from 101,000,000 subscribers five years ago. Given that the rate of lost subscribers appears to be accelerating, if we're conservative and just project ESPN loses 3 million subscribers a year for the next five years, then the worldwide leader in sports will have just 73 million subscribers in 2021.
At that point in time ESPN would be roughly break even with the amount of money its paying for sports rights and the amount of money ESPN brings in via subscriber revenue.
So where are all these subscribers going? A good theory posited by SportsTVRatings is that the loss is happening three ways, 1. death, 2. cord nevers and 3. cord cutters. Let me unpack those three: first, older people are dying off and they're more likely to subscribe to cable than younger people, second, many younger people don't subscribe to cable at all, hence they're cord nevers and third, many of you are also cutting the cord to save money. Combine all three of these factors and all are working against the cable and satellite bundle.
So let's talk about the ESPN business model.
I've written a ton about this, but on its most basic level every channel has a cost in your cable bill. You don't realize it because your cable bill isn't broken down by individual channel cost, but ESPN is by far the most expensive channel on all our cable bills. (ESPN is the most expensive channel costing $6.60 a month. The second most expensive? TNT, which costs just $1.65 a month). Every single cable and satellite subscriber pays around $80 a year for ESPN. With 88.7 million subscribers, that means ESPN pockets around $7 billion a year just in cable and satellite subscription fees.
So what makes sports on cable TV a bubble? The fact that ESPN uses the money it receives from cable and satellite subscribers to buy sports rights. And the vast majority of those cable and satellite subscribers never watch ESPN. Your Aunt Gladys, who hasn't watched a sporting event in a decade, pays the same amount for ESPN as you do.
What does ESPN do with that money from you and Aunt Gladys and its other 88 million subscribers? It buys sports rights.
Presently ESPN is on the hook for the following yearly rights payments: $1.9 billion a year to the NFL for Monday Night Football, $1.47 billion to the NBA, $700 million to Major League Baseball, $608 million for the College Football Playoff, $225 million to the ACC, $190 million to the Big Ten, $120 million -- and potentially growing -- to the Big 12, $125 million a year to the PAC 12, and hundreds of millions more to the SEC.
At an absolute minimum it would appear that ESPN presently pays out nearly $6 billion a year to sports leagues just in rights fees.
At 73 million subscribers -- our projection for 2021 based on the past five years of subscriber losses -- ESPN would be bringing in just over $6 billion a year in yearly subscriber fees. Sure, advertising money and ESPN2 and ESPNU have to be factored in as well, but you'd also have to add in every other cost that ESPN has to run multiple networks, employee salaries, technology, everything that a major corporation with thousands of worldwide employees has to keep up. And, importantly, you also have to factor in this, ESPN's Monday Night Football contract expires at the end of 2021. Right when current projections would have them hitting just 73 million subscribers.
ESPN presently pays $1.9 billion a year for Monday Night Football. (This is a wild stat, but did you know that every cable and satellite subscriber who has ESPN is paying $21.50 a year for Monday Night Football games? That's whether you ever watch those games or not. That's the NFL tax that ESPN passes along to consumers.)
What will the NFL want from ESPN for Monday Night Football in 2021? More money, right? The NFL has gotten used to television revenue only going up. Will ESPN be able to afford to keep the NFL and pay more money despite having lost nearly 30% of its subscriber base in the ten years of the existing MNF contract? That seems highly unlikely doesn't it? But can ESPN exist as a network without NFL games? Remember, it's not just the NFL games, it's all the ancillary content that ESPN builds around the NFL games, think about the hours of studio programming that ESPN devotes to pro football. ESPN justifies its sky high cost per month to cable and satellite companies based on the games it provides, can ESPN extract an increase in revenue from cable and satellite subscribers when its deals expire without the NFL games? So how much more money will the NFL be able to extract from ESPN? Or will this be the moment in time when the entire sports industry finally realizes that the bubble has popped?
If the NFL isn't making the same money it always made in the past, everyone in sports is screwed.
I've been writing about the sports rights bubble for years. Most recently doing the math to point out that the NBA's insane new television deal from Turner and ESPN means that every single cable and satellite subscriber in the entire country is paying a jawdropping $30 a year for NBA games. I beleive the NBA's TV contract represented the actual peak of the market.

Good, bad, indifferent, it all helps me see my work through the eyes of others.A little bit about me: I love to read. It's my most abiding pastime. Enthusiasms come and go, but I read more than anything else. I like cats, cows, dogs, fish and bears. I don't like frogs, snakes or mosquitoes. I've been married 38 years, we've lived in the same house for 31 years. I tend to honour serious commitments long term. I'm very serious about writing. I love writing, and I've gotten some very positive feedback from many of the other authors. On December 23, 2008, I became a featured author. Until Dec. 29, my profile was featured under Authors on this site. What an incredible Christmas present, for which I thank Nick B. profusely. It was a great honour, and it encourages me to write, and write, and write ... I have spent a lot of time with tournaments and competitions - hosting one and a half, judging some, and competing in some - both prose and poetry. I've loved it all. I co - hosted the 2010 Summer Poetry Tournament with ElzuWolfe. It was a blast. I learned so much technical stuff I didn't know before, I thought my head would explode! The three master poet winners were: SomebodysAngel, Aryst0krat, and G2 in that order. It was a hard fought battle, bravely won. I hosted the 2011 Spring Poetry Tournament, for which I provided prizes. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. Some mind boggingly (is that a real word?) excellent poetry came out of it. Here are the winners: First prize - Plus account - SilvergirlSecond prize - Pro account - WatermarkThird prize - Community service account - Miserabilia I competed in the 2011 Summer Prose Competition hosted by Elorithryn. I was teamed up with Birdie, and the pairing was excellent. Apparently I play well with others. We won second prize! Some of the commenters suggested we continue the story so we did just that. I'm really proud of what Birdie and I achieved. It's funny, it's mysterious, and its Science Fiction. There are several twists and turns, and a few cliff hangers. Here's where you can find it. http://www.protagonize.com/story/machu-picchu I had a lot of fun competing in the first ever Collaborative Writing Contest, in the summer/fall of 2013. Each competitor wrote one chapter, and the winner got to write the ending. I won, so I wrote the ending. Here's where you'll find it: http://www.protagonize.com/story/the-call-away - Collaborative Writing Contest - winner I've been working on an exciting project with marcuslee, and A_monty here on Protag. Marc has become an Indie publisher. His company is called The Masquerade Crew, and he's publishing three time travel anthologies. The first one, consisting of six short stories, is called Forbidden Future. It was released in September, 2013.

Andrews, Tad Williams, Isaac Isamov, and Fannie Flag. I'm wondering if maybe I was an axe murderer in another lifetime, because I do like those bloodthirsty stories. I don't know why really, because I hate to see anyone get hurt. I write a lot about Elves. Maybe I was an Elfen axe murderer in another life time. I retired in October of 2013, and I intend to spend more time on Protagonize. I hosted the Collaborative Writing Contest in, 2014. It was fun and exciting for everyone.
