  • Flanagan's Running Club – Issue 36
    Flanagan's Running Club – Issue 36 Introduction The first rule of Flanagan's Running Club is everyone should be telling everyone they know about Flanagan's Running Club! After all, sharing is caring. Details of how to sign up is in the epilogue. There is no need to panic, there is no actual running involved, it is not a running club in that sense. The title is made up from extending the title of my favourite book – Flanagan’s Run by Tom McNab. So enjoy the read. On This Day – 10th July 1212 - The most severe of several early fires of London burns most of the city to the ground. 1553 - Lady Jane Grey takes the throne of England. 1913 - The temperature in Death Valley, California, hits 134 -F (57 -C), the highest temperature ever to be recorded on Earth. 1962 - Telstar, the world's first communications satellite, is launched into orbit. 1985 - The Greenpeace vessel Rainbow Warrior is bombed and sunk in Auckland harbour by French DGSE agents, killing Fernando Pereira. It’s Nikola Tesla Day Statehood Day (Wyoming) 365 Reasons To Be Proud To Be A Londoner - Magical Moments in London's History Telstar, the first satellite to supply a live transatlantic television feed, and the first privately sponsored space launch, was blasted into orbit today in 1962. Although launched by NASA, it was actually co-designed by the General Post Office and internationally co-ordinated from the BBC Television Centre in London. It also successfully relayed through space the first telephone calls and fax images. Chuck D Presents This Day In Rap And Hip-Hop History N.W.A.

  • Meeting of the Minds – 'Cause They Never Go out of Style: Why
    Meeting of the Minds – ‘Cause They Never Go Out of Style: Why Musicians Are Registering More Trademarks Than Ever By: Erik M. Pelton, Erik M. Pelton & Associates, and Elizabeth M. Dukette, Pence Law Library What do Taylor Swift, LL Cool J, Steve Miller, and Jennifer Lopez all have in common? Despite occupying different genres and decades of music, these music icons are all part of the recent trend in the music industry to apply to register trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Taylor Swift already owns over 50 registrations, and has submitted over 60 more applications to register a number of lyrics and phrases found on her album 1989, including THIS SICK BEAT and CAUSE WE NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE for use in connection with various types of clothing, accessories, and athletic wear. Similarly, James Todd Smith has more than a dozen pending applications to register his stage name LL COOL J for use in connection with live animal-riding performances and other entertainment services. Steve Miller, owner of the registration to the Steve Miller Band name, recently submitted eight more trademark applications including an application for the I’M A JOKER, I’M A SMOKER, I’M A MIDNIGHT TOKER lyric from the 1973 hit “The Joker,” along with an application to register the iconic winged horse image from the 1997 Book of Dreams album for use in connection with medicinal tobacco-free cigarettes and other smoking paraphernalia. Jennifer Lopez, who owns over 20 trademark registrations, recently applied to register a stylized logo of her “J-Lo” nickname (a “J” and “L” connected at the top with an overlapping “O”), for use in connection with over 10 classes of goods, including cosmetics and various home goods.
