Just when two-wheeler makers are reporting bumper December sales numbers, Kotak says it expects a slowdown in this segment next year, due to high petrol and loan rates
In a report to clients today, Kotak researchers say they expect domestic two-wheeler industry growth to moderate from 20% in the current fiscal year to 14% in FY12, due to high petrol prices and higher interest rates.
Two-wheeler companies reported good numbers in December. India Yamaha Motor reported a 70% rise in total sales at 34,839 units. The company's domestic sales for the calendar year 2010 were up 18% at 2,58,987 units and exports were up a substantial 85% to 91,277 units. Hero Honda Motors' sales in December were up 33% to 5,01,111 units, whereas it sold over 5 million units for the full year, a growth of 16%. Bajaj Auto reported subdued growth of 11% at 2,43,675 units for December, 5% growth in commercial vehicle sales at 31,575 units and 4% growth in exports to 95,388 units.
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has a target of 1.6 million units for FY11 versus 1.3 million units in FY10. In December, both Hero Honda and Bajaj Auto hiked the prices of two-wheelers by Rs500-Rs1,000 with effect from new year day on account of the rise in input costs.
Kotak believes that the factors that supported a 20%-plus growth for two-wheelers over the past couple of years will not be there in FY12. Some of these factors were the government stimulus measures, substantial salary hikes for government employees on pay commission reforms and pent up demand from FY08-09 when there was flat growth.
"We forecast Bajaj Auto's domestic motorcycle sales to grow at 13% CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) over the next two years." Bajaj's total sales in the nine-month period from April to December 2010 were up 42% at 2.87 million units. Kotak also believes that Bajaj Auto's margins will decline by 120 basis points y-o-y in FY12 and that the company's exports will also moderate to 15% CAGR in FY11-13 compared to 36% CAGR between 2007 and 2011.
Margins will decline because the "limited pricing power in the industry will not be able to fully offset rising material cost pressures and the moderate improvement in product mix will not be able to positively impact margins," the Kotak report says. Exports will moderate, because unlike the last three years Bajaj will find it difficult to gain market share in the countries it exports to-in neighbouring Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and from Africa, to the Middle East and Latin America-going forward, since it has already achieved a share of about 15% in these markets.
Three-wheeler growth, too, will not be as good as it was in FY09-11 (21% CAGR), Kotak says, because of a high base effect and an increase in personal vehicle ownership. Three-wheeler growth was superb in the last 2-3 years because state governments issued fresh permits.
It must be noted that while Kotak has put a 'Reduce' rating on Bajaj Auto, its target price is only 5% below the current market price. Also, Kotak says in its report, that "at 15 times price-to-earnings on our FY12 earnings per share estimate, Bajaj is currently trading at a 19% discount to Hero Honda which we believe is unjustified. From a relative perspective, we prefer Bajaj Auto to Hero Honda in the two-wheeler sector".
Despite the split between Hero Honda and Honda, the brokerage does not expect any major change in the industry structure over the next two years, but it believes that "Honda could take some market share from Hero Honda". Bajaj's market share will remain relatively stable over this period, it says.
"Residential projects with units below Rs25 lakh will increase dramatically outside Mumbai," says Ramesh Nair
Ramesh Nair, former managing director of Jones Lang LaSalle India's Chennai and Hyderabad regions, has assumed overall responsibility for the company's western India operations. West India encompasses Mumbai and Pune.
Ramesh Nair, who has been with Jones Lang LaSalle India since 1999, is a real estate veteran with fourteen years' multi-faceted experience. In this period, he has tackled diverse real estate asset classes such as office, retail, land, residential, warehousing and industrial, and he has helped change the real estate fortunes of many domestic and multinational owners, occupiers and investors in South India.
Ramesh Nair's Mumbai real estate predictions for 2011 include that the commercial property market rentals will drop due to a massive addition of stock, leading to higher vacancies. In case of residential property, housing will become even less affordable in the island city; many aspiring home buyers will opt for rentals over the purchase option. Rentals for high-end homes will drop in the face of increased supply of quality apartments across the city. Housing prices will marginally correct in locations with oversupply and inadequate infrastructure where prices have overshot the 2007 peak; the number of speculators will decrease, reducing volatility. Residential projects with units below Rs25 lakh will increase dramatically outside Mumbai. In case of mid-term elections, there will be a wide-spread correction across asset classes and city locations.
Mumbai: The seasonally adjusted HSBC Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI-a headline index designed to measure the overall health of the manufacturing sector-posted 56.7 in December, slightly lower than November's reading of 58.4. The latest number pointed to a marked improvement of business conditions in the Indian manufacturing sector. While the rate of growth slowed, it remained above the long-run series average, according to data posted on the HSBC Markit website.
December data signalled a marked rise in incoming new business received by manufacturers in India. However, the latest expansion in new order volumes was slightly weaker than in the previous survey period. Growth of new business received from overseas markets also eased marginally at the end of 2010, but remained strong and comfortably above the historical trend.
Output increased substantially in December, which reflected sustained growth in overall new orders. However, backlogs of work increased for a ninth successive month. The rate at which outstanding business accumulated was weaker than in the previous survey period, but remained fast in the context of historical data. This suggested that pressures on operating capacity persisted as workloads continued to rise. In some cases, shortages of materials and labour compounded delays in production. Stocks of finished goods increased only slightly in December. Despite sustained expansions of new business and output, employment in the Indian manufacturing sector was unchanged during the month.
Purchasing activity at manufacturers in India continued to rise markedly during December. However, in line with slower growth of output, the increase in input buying eased. Nonetheless, delivery times lengthened again. Analysts opined that short supply and excess demand for materials had led to the deterioration in vendor performance. Stocks of purchases rose for the 22nd successive month in December as manufacturers continued to increase pre-production inventories.
The December data signalled a substantial rise in input prices faced by manufacturers in India. Input costs have increased in each month since April 2009, with the latest rate of inflation the strongest in eight months and notably sharp in the context of historical data. Output prices also rose markedly during the month and at the fastest pace since May.

PROGRAMMING ALERT: Sharks Pregame Live begins at 6 p.m. on Comcast SportsNet California, with the puck drop at 6:30 p.m., followed by Sharks Postgame Live.
EDMONTON -- Oilers head coach Tom Renney addressed the media after his teams morning skate at Rexall Place, as they prepare to host the Sharks later.
Theyre one of those teams, that every year, sometimes a little later than others, they seem to nail down their game and how they play and how they have to play to have success, Renney said of San Jose. Even though they had a tough loss the other night against Vancouver, they played a good game. We expect well have our hands full.
Renneys club is just 8-23-2 in its past 33 games, after starting the year 9-3-2. He was asked what hed like to see from his team after an atrocious 6-2 loss to Calgary on Saturday night.
What we need to do is be mentally tough. We have to understand that theres an ebb and flow to every game, Renney said. Theres momentum swings, and things happen. Wed like to be able to control every aspect of the game but sometimes you dont, and you have to deal with that.
Also, dont expect to see former Shark Ben Eager or fellow tough guy Darcy Hordichuk in the lineup tonight. Ditto Ryan Whitney, who is skating but not fully recovered from an ankle injury that has sidelined him for the last 13 games.
Devyn Dubnyk was the first goaltender off of the ice for the Oilers, so its a good bet hell get the start over Nikolai Khabibulin.
The Oilers recalled defenseman Taylor Chorney and forwards Lennart Petrell and Teemu Hartikainen from Oklahoma City on Sunday, and all are expected to play tonight, said Renney.

Of course it would be more expensive and not work as well. The government said this is what asmatics have to use. The government said we could only use low-flow toilets. They use more water than the older ones because you have to flush more often! Can only wonder how the government mandate about the kind of TV reception we can have starting next February will work. It's more expensive, that's for sure. By the way, I'm a life long asmatic and have COPD. Doc put me on Advair. It's ok but does not work as well as albuterol.

CaixaBank Extends Drop After Selling $1.5 Billion Shares for BPIBy and
Spanish bank sold 585 million shares to private investors
Shares were sold at 2.26 euros each, a 3.7 percent discount
CaixaBank SA, Spain's third-largest lender, extended declines after selling shares for 1.3 billion euros ($1.5 billion) to fund its takeover of Portugal's Banco BPI SA.
The company sold 585 million shares, the equivalent of a 9.9 percent stake, to private investors, CaixaBank said in a statement late Thursday. Shares were sold at 2.26 euros each, a 3.7 percent discount to their closing price.
"The capital increase is in line with expectations," Carlos Cobo, an analyst at Haitong Bank SA with a buy recommendation on the shares, said in a note to clients. "Once the capital increase has been cleared, investors will probably focus on CaixaBank's sounder business model and balance sheet mix versus its Spanish domestic peers."
CaixaBank, which has been pursuing the Portuguese company for more than a year, agreed to pay about 900 million euros to buy the 55 percent of BPI it doesn't already own. The bank increased its offer to 1.134 euros a share from 1.113 euros on Wednesday after BPI shareholders agreed to scrap voting rights limits, a key condition for the bid.
CaixaBank fell 3 percent to 2.28 euros at 9:52 a.m in Madrid after decreasing 3.1 percent on Thursday. The shares are down about 29 percent this year, putting the bank among the largest decliners in Spain's Ibex 35 Index, which has slipped 7.2 percent.
CaixaBank is seeking to maintain a capital ratio between 11 percent and 12 percent under its current strategic plan. If the lender were to acquire all of BPI, its fully-loaded common equity Tier 1 ratio would drop to 10.8 percent after the placement, it said.
Grupo Mutua Madrilena said Friday it had become CaixaBank's second largest shareholder, with a 2.13 percent stake, as it took part in the lender's share sale. The Spanish insurer owns about 280 million euros of the bank's stock.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley were the underwriters. A spokeswoman for CaixaBank denied a share sale transaction earlier.

Are you fed up with dental care? Are you looking for information about dental care? If you answered yes, then this article can help. This article is filled with useful tips on different dental issues.
Stay away from soda to keep your teeth healthy. Soda is loaded with sugar and has no redeeming nutritional qualities. For example, a 2-liter bottle of soda can contain over one cup of sugar. Sugar weakens your tooth enamel and it is best to avoid it.
If you have temperature sensitive teeth, change up your toothpaste. First, however, you should set up an appointment with a dentist to ask for recommendations. Sometimes there is an underlying problem causing the sensitivity such as an exposed root that should be treated immediately.
Sensitive Teeth
If you have sensitive teeth, make sure you are using the right kind of toothpaste. If you experience pain or discomfort when you eat hot or cold foods and drinks, you may have sensitive teeth. It is vital that you discuss this issue with your dental care provider to rule out serious causes.
Consider trying dental cleaners on teeth in order to boost your dental health. Inter-dental cleaners are basically brushes that are small and disposable. You use them whenever you have no time to go home and brush your teeth. If you cannot find these on your own, do not be afraid to ask for help. Surely an employee can help you so that you know where they are.
You can whiten your teeth using hydrogen peroxide. Put a little bit of the substance into the cap and then dunk the toothbrush in. Make sure you are gently brushing for two minutes. After that, brush your teeth with toothpaste.
Monitor the position of your gum line. This is where your teeth are the most vulnerable because it's where your nerves start. If you have gum issues, you may have issues with your teeth as well. Watch your gum line for changes and if you see any, make an appointment with your dentist.
There are some types of foods essential to good oral health. One good food group is dairy. Dairy products are high in calcium and thus are good for teeth. Broccoli is another food that is good for your teeth as well. Meat is a healthy source of protein; important for gum health.
Finding information on taking care of your teeth may not be easy, but this article should have helped a little. Dental care consists of cleaning and maintaining your teeth and gums and treating any problems. If you use the information from the above tips wisely, your health will benefit.

I didn't poverty to scribble this nonfictional prose. In fact, I've command rear the bribery for the final 5 months (since Cam'ron appeared on 60 transactions). My expectancy was that the dissembling would die downcast quickly. But beside the new flow of the "Stop Snitchin" electioneer in the media, I fabric it prerequisite that I put an end to the baloney once and for all.
It is perfectly ABSURD for anyone to insinuate that the notion of not snitchin' came from Hip-Hop. This is simply NOT TRUE. The legitimacy is, "not snitchin" is a very severely deep-seated facet of our nation's appreciation textile. Here are a few areas that epitomize the No Snitchin' Code. None of them have a point to do next to Hip-Hop.
Anyone who of all time watched the movie, The Godfather caught at least a looking of the intensely realistic ITALIAN Mafia. The Mafia was ill-famed for having a written language of silence when treatment next to the law. I can't reckon how masses times I've detected the vocabulary "rat" or "stool pigeon" nearly new in Casino, Goodfellas or even the popular HBO ordering The Sopranos.

Right now, in unproblematic schools across the United States, teachers can be detected saying, "Stop tattling" or "Don't be a telling tale" to their students. Is this any new trend started by Hip-Hop? NO! I'm firm all of us can retrieve beingness schooled to reduce "ratting" on classmates at slightest past in our younger days.
Even brood have their own "no snitchin" standard. Or am I the singular one who has ever had a schoolmate who was infamous for mortal a tattle tale? No one sought to theatre with that child; he/she was often ostracized by his/her peers. Why does the media goddamn this "phenomenon" amongst our young person on Hip-Hop?
It is true, that we as Black Folk in America have had a ancient times of avoiding experience/ relations next to the police; but this is first and foremost out of have doubts about and suspicion. Need I inform the media of the innumerous atrocities inflicted upon us by our own "Justice Department"?Post ads:

On top of that, somebody who watches Law and Order as so much as I do has seen the police force customarily trapping, abusing, coercing and otherwise blustery witnesses. After look a duo episodes, even the most puritanical citizen (Black OR White) would have an idea that doubly active exploit neck-deep in a aberrant luggage.
Yes, the thuggish, ultra-violent and misogynistic atmospheric condition of American Culture have infiltrated (and now seem to dominate) the affirmative weather condition of Hip-Hop auditory communication. But let's not forget, the very is VERY TRUE of both other characteristic of our social group.
Over the closing 20 years, picture games, songs, movies, TV shows and information processing system programs have all suffered from a tough mental state decline. Back in 1987, Nintendo's Super Mario Brothers subordinate the video activity international and The Cosby Show was one of the top TV programs. Compare this to the R-rated picture games and the agreed use of the speech "Ass" and "Bitch" in T.V. shows of 2007. It is bald to see that today's logo of Hip-Hop is individual reflecting the identical changes the American natural object is witnessing. Why then, does Hip-Hop ever be to be the accountability for our society's ills?
The media designedly distorts our perceptual experience of veracity and diverts our fame from the honest job..... greed! Our province is run by CORPORATIONS, not elected representatives. These corporations tradition intense capitalism, which has no motive regulations. They did it! Their be mad about of exchange is bottom of all their problems. They did it! They OWN & DISTRIBUTE the super-violent picture games, sexually hardcore songs/ films and decently wicked TV shows that endemic our minds. They did it! These corporations besides own the thoroughly said media that we believe on for our day after day information, which targets Hip-Hop as the scapegoat for our country's greatest snags.
Put simply, in the voice communication of the nihilist Hip-Hop pack Public Enemy, "Don't' assume the hype!"
(P.S. How's that for snitchin'?)

Anderson Lovell, Mark Gabriel, Cody Parker
Anderson Lovell, Wesley Crow
Next Door Studios will allow you to transcend into another world - or maybe just onto the cock of the guy from next door. This site is all about the hottest guys, with the biggest dicks and sexiest bodies. The ones that get you hard with a mysterious glance, and have perfect faces and asses to match. We have big dicks, waxed backs, plenty of muscles, and all the gay anal sex that you can stand. Get ready to experience role-playing, first-time anal thrusting, and plenty of gay anal.
Anderson Lovell and Colton Fox are horsing around in the empty gym one afternoon. Colton gives Anderson some instruction on the finer points of a takedown, demonstrating his technique with a sweeping leg motion that has both guys face down on the mat. Colton can feel his midsection pushed up against Anderson's ass, silky and smooth through his wrestling gear. Unable to resist temptation, Colton runs his hand down the crack of Anderson's ass, and Anderson is both a bit surprised and a bit turned on. As Colton continues, it becomes clear that both guys would rather move onto a different sort of contact sport. Colton brings Anderson's face up to his and the two guys kiss before Colton strips Anderson down to his jock strap, rubbing and nibbling on his cock. Anderson is receptive and much more naturally gifted in this arena than he is at wrestling, running his hands through Colton's hair and pushing his mouth deeper and deeper onto his waiting dick. Anderson fingers Colton's hole and lubes up his cock, and in no time, he is on top of Colton and pumping him full and hard on down on the mat. Colton emits a whimper of pleasure as Anderson continues to thrust, Colton now on top of Anderson and riding his dick into a frenzy. Both guys are dripping sweat and almost out of breath when Anderson pulls out just in time to blast Colton's backside with a hot pool of jizz, and they lay there and enjoy the moment for just a second, before one of the guys here's someone entering and they have to flee.Enjoy!

Lady Gaga Dead Rumors
December 8, 2011 by staff
Lady Gaga Dead Rumors, Lady Gaga dead? Fans of the megastar were scared into scouring the web for reports Wednesday after a fake news report stated Lady Gaga died in a hotel room — rumors we are happy to report are not true!
GossipCop reports the rumor started after a troublemaker created what looked to be a real BBC News report titled, "BREAKING: Lady Gaga Found Dead in Hotel Room."
Along with the address to the BBC's main website (devoid of any such stories about Lady Gaga's death), the post included the sub-caption, "This is the most awful day in the U.S. history."
Perhaps adding fuel to the fear of Gaga fans worldwide is an interview published by The Sun which links Lady Gaga to Princess Diana. An unnamed source revealed:
"Gaga has always been absolutely fixated on Diana and sees herself as a 21st-century incarnation of her.
"She knows she is almost as recognizable as Diana and is hounded by photographers and fans on the same level.
"Gaga has had dreams about dying the same way as her and has genuine fears that her fame could literally kill her, either in a chase or at the hands of crazies."

Where to Study
Deciding to undertake global health study at a graduate level is a big commitment and many of us struggled to decide where we should study. We don't have any easy answers, but here are a few tips.
- Work out what skills and knowledge you need to get you the job you want (see more about developing your global health toolbox in What to Study). This will make it much easier to decide which course best suits your needs.
- Prioritise your educational needs. Many institutions offer very flexible study options. This can be very attractive, but don't let convenience compromise the quality of your education. Work out what will suit your learning needs and equip you best for your career.
- Remember that it is more than just completing the course. Some of the biggest benefits from studying global health will be from the relationships you form with colleagues and supervisors. Think about who you want to be working with in the future (and where).
- Find out about financial costs early. There is a big difference in fees between different institutions (and many other hidden costs). Even similar courses at the same institution may have markedly different costs (e.g. varying eligibility for government support/FEE-HELP).
- Seek help with funding. Many institutions offer financial support, but also look out for other organisations that offer scholarships and grants (e.g. Fulbright, Rhodes, government-funded, Rotary, Lion's Club, and many independent philanthropic organisations).
- Think about the practicalities, but be optimistic. There can be many barriers to taking on global health study but give yourself permission to explore all the options. Involve your family and friends and you may well find unexpected support, ideas and opportunities.
- Talk to a global health mentor and your colleagues. A good mentor will help you work through these questions (without expecting you to do whatever they did). Ask others and you may be surprised to find they have the same questions.
- Talk to people who have studied there. The best way to answer many of the questions above is to find someone who was there. Most universities are happy to pass your contact details on to alumni.
- Ask around the Global Health Gateway. Use the Global Health Gateway Education and Events board and Facebook page to connect with others who have done, or are wanting to do, study in global health.
Hopefully those tips are useful, and if you have more suggestions leave a comment below.

It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Idle Air Control Valve for your car or truck. Anyone who owns a Acura knows that when it comes to repairing their automobile only the absolute best replacement parts will do. Make no mistake, you bought your SLX because you wanted to buy long-lasting quality and dependability both rolled up into one vehicle. You purchased your SLX because its sporty handling and Japanese engineering appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?
You can't get maximum power and fuel economy together without high-quality engine components. Your Acura SLX has a fuel-injected engine that requires a great deal of electronic calibration, and uses its idle air control valve as a way to keep the engine idling. The Acura SLX idle control valve allows a varied, but small, volume of air into the intake while the throttle body is closed. That means your engine can still maintain a constant 700-900 RPM while waiting at a red light... all thanks to your idle air control valve.
Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Bring your SLX back to life with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken Idle Air Control Valve bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the best repair parts. All the Acura SLX Idle Air Control Valve parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996. Choose your year below to refine your search.

So I've been seeing this guy for awhile and he's a boxer. He's very sweet but I've only known him for like 5 minutes. My concern is that are boxers more likely to hit their girlfriends? I hate to generalize but I've had one abusive relationship so of course I'm scared about getting to another one. Violence freaks me out because of my past and that's basically what he does for fun. Am I just being silly and there's no reason for concern?

I'm a boxer, and practice mma and ju jitsu, all my aggression comes out when I fight. I'm so calm outside the rings/octagon, my friends call me kool-aid.22|00|0

AnO(ND) difference algorithm and its variations
- Received:
- Revised:
- Citations
- 690 Downloads
The problems of finding a longest common subsequence of two sequencesA andB and a shortest edit script for transformingA intoB have long been known to be dual problems. In this paper, they are shown to be equivalent to finding a shortest/longest path in an edit graph. Using this perspective, a simpleO(ND) time and space algorithm is developed whereN is the sum of the lengths ofA andB andD is the size of the minimum edit script forA andB. The algorithm performs well when differences are small (sequences are similar) and is consequently fast in typical applications. The algorithm is shown to haveO(N+D2) expected-time performance under a basic stochastic model. A refinement of the algorithm requires onlyO(N) space, and the use of suffix trees leads to anO(N logN+D2) time variation.

How Nelson Mandela and ordinary citizens from all over the world strong-armed corporations, changed U.S. foreign policy, and ended apartheid in South Africa.
Posts Tagged: apartheid
A tribute to Nelson Mandela from San Francisco's East Bay, birthplace of the U.S. anti-apartheid movement.
Nelson Mandela has long enjoyed the support of Fidel Castro, and many right-wing Cuban Americans have never forgiven the anti-apartheid leader for it.
Mandela's first visit to the U.S. in 1990s revealed how much America had yet to learn about the anti-apartheid leader who had captured the nation's imagination.
Central Europe has become an Apartheid region where Roma and non-Roma inhabit increasingly separate and decidedly unequal worlds.
It's time to seize upon AIPAC's strategic blunder of singling Israel out for special treatment in Washington and push for an end to U.S. military aid to Israel.
Israel seems to have fewer and fewer qualms about being branded apartheid.
The 99 percent of black South Africans have not tasted the fruits of democracy and freedom.
A look behind the worst race riots in Israel's history.
Both the United States and South Africa, despite black leadership and multicultural societies, still labor under the legacy of segregation and inequality.

Recording in the studio
I absolutely love recording music and dancing!!! It absolutely amazes me to witness a song created out of thin air in the recording studio. You just walk up to your Digital Audio Workstation and start searching for beats, sounds, drums and a few effects right? Now you present the beat to the song writers. The song writers usually get a vibe going by coming up with a catchy hook. Once you get a good hook you then add your verses. Wala! you have a song. Hopefully, a hit song. Now the song is being played and starting to draw some attention. Now you pass the song to the choreographers/dance team and they come up with a routine for the song. The song his hot, the artist is on fire and the dance team is amped. Call the tour managers because its time to take this show on the road. Sounds like fun. It is crazy fun!!! As a business manager and consultant our job is to find out, "How can we make money for the recording studio outside of producing and developing hot talent?
- You can rent the studio space to record and host events: Poetry slams, Dance recitals, TV interviews etc.
- You can turn your studio into a school for engineers and audio production
- You can create and record radio spots for successful companies.
- Just think of all the reasons you need sound recordings and go for it.
Well today we recognize entrepreneur Maurice Wilson (Reace Beatz) founder and owner of Studio A Music Academy you can visit the studio at: http://www.Studioamusicacademy.com
Reace with CobraConsultants1 business consultants and recording
I've known Reace and worked with Reace as a consultant and business partner on several business ventures. Reace says to have a great team of consultants has been huge in his success.
Recording with Reace and his National recording artist
Maurice attributes his love for the arts in helping him escape the rough terrains of inner city life. His deep love and passion for music engineering, dance, and singing laid the ground work for much of his success. After school, Maurice (Reace) would head to the community recreation center with his friends to collaborate on dance moves that they would later perform for their peers throughout the region. Reace later formed a group called By ReQwest and produced most of their tracks in his home studio at that age of 21. By ReQwest got their BIG BREAK when they won the National Coca Cola Talent search and later toured around the state performing on Black Entertainment Television and singing the National Anthem for many of the St. Louis Rams Football championship games. The multitalented business man and producer went on to hone his skills as a producer and co-produced hit songs. Whatever Reace touches turns to gold literally. Reace was the first producer to have a direct record deal with a major label for national recording artist Jibbs. His record was certified gold and he sold 7 million ring tones. He also produced music for Chingy and Lil Wayne. Maurice has also produced radio spots for McDonalds and other well known franchises. Reace now has a state of the art recording facility and dance studio. He will continue to fulfill his dream of becoming a multi millionaire by the age of 40. Reace plans to give back to the children in his community and extend his school to help those with a love for the studio.
Reace believes the foundation of his success is trust and Belief in GOD! The responsibility of every man is to reach back to the children and afford them the opportunities you experienced.
This month we salute! entrepreneur Maurice Wilson(REACE BEATZ) and Studio A Music Academy

Avoiding "Another" Trademark Trap: "Don't' Sweat It" When it Comes to Trademark Selection
There are many reasons why trademark owners should carefully select and clear new product names, trademarks and even product slogans and phrases. Some of which include selecting trademarks and slogans that are immediately eligible for trademark protection and do not infringe third party rights.
To read more about my views on trademark clearance and selection, read my blog posts here, here and here.
Even when brand owners select trademarks and/or slogans that would likely not infringe third party trademark rights, it may still be prudent, in some cases, to choose another mark. For example, selecting marks that would likely get lost in the marketplace noise with other similar trademarks is not advisable. Furthermore, it is not a good idea to select marks that would likely draw fire from a competitor that aggressively enforces its marks against uses of similar marks – even when consumer confusion is unlikely (we call those parties "Trademark Bullies"). There may also be instances when the adoption of a mark – although likely not infringing – may still draw an objection from a competitor or another party in the trade – just because.
Not until a trademark attorney understands the gray of trademark law – will s/he understand the gray of trademark law and recognize that selecting a different mark altogether is sometimes your best business option – even if that is not what you want to hear. From time to time I need to remind clients that they do not hire me so that I can tell them what they want to hear – but rather what they need to hear. As Robbie Robinson almost once said "You might hate me now, but you'll learn to love me later."
There are instances when good business decisions (based on sound legal advice) are to simply consider different product names or slogans rather than spend hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more) defending a trademark dispute brought by an over-zealous plaintiff with a weak case. You might win the legal battle, but at what business and economic costs?
Companies should obviously steer clear of adopting infringing trademarks, In September of this year, Oakley, Inc. drew such fire when it was sued for trademark infringement for using the trademark / phrase "Sweat it Out" for sweatbands. The plaintiff, Lontex Corp., is a manufacturer of athletic apparel and owner of several United States trademark registrations for the mark SWEAT IT OUT for athletic apparel, including sweatbands.product phrases and slogans and marks that would likely draw fire from a competitor.
The complaint alleges that Oakley's use of SWEAT IT OUT for sweatbands constitutes counterfeiting and is likely to confuse or deceive consumers into believing that Oakley's sweatbands originate with or are sponsored by Lontex in violation of the Lanham Act (Trademark Act).
Lontex also alleges that Oakey's misuse of the mark SWEAT IT OUT constitutes willful trademark infringement, thus Lontex is requesting that the court award triple damages, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
Brand owners should spend their time and resources on brand development and growth and not on defending unnecessary trademark infringement allegations over the use of product slogans or phrases, not to mention the possibly of spending thousand or hundreds of thousands on re-branding (and, yes, I said the "R" word).

Trademark Titan Two-Minute Snap Shot: Trademark Trial and Appeal Board and its Legal Effect for Trademark Disputes
The United States Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ("TTAB") has the authority to determine numerous trademark registration issues, including whether a trademark is eligible for federal trademark registration and whether one party's trademark is entitled to registration over another party's trademark based upon priority of use and likelihood of consumer confusion. The TTAB does not have the authority to award damages for trademark infringement or prevent the use of an infringing mark in the marketplace.
In other words, the TTAB decides whether a party or which party is entitled to trademark registration and thus the trademark rights conferred by it. However, the TTAB cannot stop a third party from infringing your trademark in the marketplace.
Before spending thousands and potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars ($300,000 plus) on a dispute before the TTAB aimed at preventing the ownership of a piece of paper, trademark owners confronted with the option of opposing or canceling a third party's trademark registration at the TTAB should first consider whether the proper forum for the dispute is in court. If the subject mark is infringing your trademark, likely to confuse consumers as to the source of the parties' respective products, diluting your mark and/or tarnishing the reputation of your mark and brand, a court action may be the best option.
Furthermore, even if you receive a favorable decision at the TTAB, that decision may not be recognized in a later court action between the parties involving the same marks and products. Accordingly, if you have a pending case or an option for a case at the TTAB, consider strategy early and whether the end game is to prevent the use of an infringing mark by the opposing party, receive payment for damages and possibly get attorneys' fees or if you are only seeking a limiting agreement from the opposing party.
Simply preventing the registration of a third party's mark may not be the result you need. When the target mark is vulnerable to a trademark registration opposition or cancellation proceeding at the TTAB, one strategy is to file a complaint with the TTAB and simultaneously file a complaint in court. Once the complaint is filed with the court, file a petition to suspend the case at the TTAB pending the outcome of the court action. Another strategy is to file a proceeding at the TTAB and seek settlement whereby the opposing party agrees to discontinue the use of the infringing mark. If settlement is not reached quickly, your next step is to consider whether to suspend the TTAB action and file a court action.
Before any action is taken in a trademark dispute, it is always best to know what you want before the guns are drawn, the merits of your case and your strategy. Otherwise, you just might end up wasting your time, money and resources.

Protecting Trademarks in China: Avoid Being Sued in China for Using "Your" Trademarks
Unlike the United States, which is a "first to use" trademark system, many countries, including China, follow a "first to file" trademark system. Meaning whoever files a Chinese trademark application first for a particular trademark and goods/services, which ultimately matures into a trademark registration, is considered the legal owner of the registered mark – even if that party had never used the mark in China (or elsewhere). In most cases, unless your trademark is considered "famous" (and I mean "really really famous), if someone files a Chinese trademark application for your mark and products first, you lose.
Many cases of third parties registering a company's trademark in China are the result of trademark pirates; those parties seeking to hold the trademarks of others for ransom. Even worse, these pirates may even sue the rightful trademark owner and user for trademark infringement in China and seek millions of dollars in damages – simply because they filed a trademark application first.
Not only do these pirates register the trademarks of others in English but they also register them in Chinese characters, since most people in China do not speak English. For that reason, it is best practice to register brand names in China in both English and Chinese. Failure to register trademarks in China can result in loss of rights, loss of market opportunity and/or many years of costly litigation (sometime 4-6+ years) over trademark rights.
Even if brand owners do not sell their products in China, they should still secure Chinese trademark registrations for their marks if they manufacture products in China for export. Under Chinese law, trademark pirates may record their registered marks with the Chinese customs authorities in an effort to seize your products at the border. Once seized, the pirates request ransom in exchange for the release of your products.
Trademark theft and piracy is an industry in China, as well as some other counties. Not only should companies consider registering their trademarks in those countries in which they do business and/or conduct manufacturing, they should also reserve certain country domain names that correspond to those trademarks to keep them out the hands of Internet pirates (a/k/a domain name squatters).
How Can We Help Brand Owners?
- Audit your current global trademark portfolio for gaps in trademark protection
- Provide a list of "first to file" countries for review
- Provide guidance with respect to goods and services coverage
- For non-English speaking countries, such as China, provide Chinese versions of your trademarks (provided by English and Chinese speaking trademark specialists)
- Review your marks for any negative connotations in non-English speaking countries
- File global trademark applications to protect marks vulnerable to trademark piracy

Trademark FRUTTA DI VITA Confusingly Similar to Registered Trademark FRÜT A VIE Says U.S. Patent and Trademark Office: Put on Your "Judge Hat" and Opine
Another recent trademark decision rendered by the U.S. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (the "Board") has, again, highlighted the importance of trademark selection and the intricacies of trademark clearance and trademark infringement analysis.
In that case, the trademark applicant sought registration of mark FRUTTA DI VITA for "cosmetics and cosmetic preparations; concealers; cosmetic facial blotting papers; cosmetic sun-protecting preparations; and cosmetic sun-tanning preparations."
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Examining Attorney refused registration of the mark FRUTTA DI VITA on the basis it is confusingly similar to the registered mark FRÜT A VIE for "cosmetic creams for skin care; cosmetic preparations for skin renewal; skin and body topical lotions, creams and oils for cosmetic use; wrinkle removing skin care preparations."
When the Applicant appealed the refusal to register its mark, the Board affirmed the Examining Attorney's rejection based primarily upon the following trademark principles and findings:
- The goods listed in the parties' respective filings are identical or essentially identical.
- Since there are no limitations set forth in the parties' respective filings as to the channels of trade in which their goods travel (i.e., professional buyers vs. retail consumers), the goods are presumed to travel in all normal (thus overlapping) channels of trade.
- Buyers of the parties' respective goods are presumed to be the same/overlapping.
Applicant argued that its applied-for mark is used exclusively for higher-priced anti-aging skin preparations and not for general cosmetics or general skincare preparations and the buyers for its goods are well-informed consumers, thus consumer confusion between the marks is unlikely. Unfortunately for Applicant, however, the USPTO must compare the parties' respective goods as identified in their trademark filings, which, in this case, were presumed to be identical or essentially identical cosmetic and skin care preparations and also presumed to travel in the same channels of trade to the same class of buyers.
- The marks FRUTTA DI VITA and FRÜT A VIE are similar in terms of appearance and sound.
During its analysis of the parties' respective marks, the Board concluded that Applicant's mark FRUTTA DI VITA translates into English as FRUIT OF LIFE, while the cited mark FRÜT A VIE has no direct English translation; thus the "doctrine of foreign equivalents" would not apply in the case.
However, the Board held that the parties' respective marks are sufficiently similar in terms of appearance and sound so as to cause a likelihood of consumer confusion – or trademark infringement. The Board stated the following:
"Thus, while in some respects, the marks differ in appearance, their basic structure (including first and last words beginning FRUT— and VI—, respectively) and their general appearance of foreignness are more likely to be recalled by consumers than the more detailed and specific differences between them."
"Finally, we find that the marks are also similar in their sound or pronunciation."
The Board correctly noted that the test for whether marks are likely to cause consumer confusion as to the source of goods and services is not based upon a side-by-side comparison of the marks, but rather based upon the recollection of marks by the average consumer.
One can certainly check the USPTO database to see if someone has already filed an application for a specific mark with a specific spelling. However, one must also check the USPTO database for third party marks that are confusingly similar to a proposed mark. Also, since U.S. trademark rights are created based upon actual use in the marketplace and not registration, one must not only consider registered trademarks (state and federal) but also common law (unregistered) trademarks and even business names.
When brand owners are selecting new brand names / trademarks (including logo designs), they should consider my rule of "The Four D's of Trademark Selection."
Brand name selection does not have to be that difficult. Proper consideration of brand names does take time and thought-provoking analysis, however. Not considering the rule of the Four D's could potentially prove fatal for a company's new product launch and, as I have said before, could be the difference between brand success and failure.

Republican Colin Duffy loses human rights court challenge
Lurgan republican Colin Duffy has failed in a European Court of Human Rights bid in which he claimed his arrest after the murder of two Antrim soldiers in 2009 was a breach of his human rights.
European judges at the Strasbourg court ruled Duffy's application inadmissible.
Gabriel Magee and Teresa Magee also joined Duffy in the court application.
They were arrested after the murder of a police officer in 2009.
Their applications were also deemed inadmissible.
In 2012, Duffy was acquitted of all charges brought against him in relation to the murders of soldiers Mark Quinsey from Birmingham and Patrick Azimkar from London.
The soldiers had ordered pizzas to the barracks and had walked outside to collect them when the hit team, travelling in a green Vauxhall cavalier, opened fire.
The Real IRA later claimed responsibility for the attack.
