Domain Names and IP - Mincov Law Corporation

I have always had an interest in how domain names coexist with the trademark law.

I was the first lawyer who represented a Russian plaintiff in a UDRP case (KOMMERSANT.COM, D2002-0531).

With a colleague of mine, I was also involved in a protracted litigation over a domain name, which had cost the client over $120,000.00 in legal fees ? because the client did not properly renew their domain name registration.

Today, I have the pleasure to share with you an interview I did with Cybele Negris, the President of the Canadian domain names registrar, Webnames.Ca.

Without further ado, here we go.

Q.?You are the President and the co-founder of Webnames.Ca. How is Webnames.Ca different from other registrars? Other than being patriotic, why would Canadians choose Webnames.Ca to register their domain names?

A.?We were the original founders of .CA in Canada so we have a long legacy in this industry. John Demco my business partner founded .CA in 1987 so we are actually celebrating 25 years of .CA this year! He ran the .CA registry for 13 years charging no fees whatsoever to preserve a Canadian online identity for all of us. After we transferred the technology and registry to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, we became one of the accredited registrars and grew to 30 people in a matter of four months. We?ve been in running Webnames.ca for 12 years now with an ever expanding range of online services. We offer a full range of domain extensions, premium business email, web hosting with servers in multiple locations in Canada, website design, SSL certificates and more.

??We are an industry leader in Canada and clients from some of the world?s biggest brands and fortune 500 companies have chosen us. We have a reputation for exceptional service in an industry that is often pushing customers towards self-help with no service in order to get cheap pricing. We offer great value and highly competitive volume pricing coupled with high-touch service. Our average telephone response times are below one minute and we don?t outsource Canadian jobs to other countries.

??Our industry is also full of companies that use unethical practices like Domain Slamming and other practices to obtain business. Webnames.ca is committed to acting with integrity. Our Better Business Bureau rating has consistently been A+ in all the years we?ve been in business.

Q.?How and why did you decide to get involved with Webnames?

A.?When I met my business partner John Demco, I was impressed with what he had achieved and his vision for securing an online identity for all Canadians. The fact he did this for free as a public service for 13 years blew me away. As our team worked to transition the .CA registry to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, we (John and I along with our other partners Stephen Smith and Matthew Lane) saw a huge opportunity for the expansion of .CA across Canada as the rules were about to be liberalized. We wanted to continue to build on the legacy that John had started. Twelve years later, I can honestly say that I continue to be passionate about what we do.

Q.?Are people registering more or less domain names today, compared to 5 years ago? Compared to 10 years ago?

A.?There were about 153 million domain names world-wide by the end of 2007 and 50 million by the end of 2002. By the end of Q1 2012 there were more than 233 million domain name registrations representing an increase of 23 million domains or 11 percent since Q1 of 2011. (source Verisign Domain Industry Brief).

??Today, most businesses even if they are a bricks and mortar store want some form of online presence. Individuals also register domain names for personal branding or to have a personal email that isn?t their ISP?s email address. (see my article about ?Avoiding the Ugly Email?). It is not at all surprise that these numbers continue to grow so quickly.

Q.?Compared to 5 and 10 years ago, what????s the average number of domain names a person typically owns?

A.?I don?t have these numbers but anecdotally we have business with several thousand domains and those with one. Larger businesses tend to register more domains and protect all of the brand names, trademarks, campaigns and even all the variations of all of these including plural, singular, misspellings across all the domain name extensions.

Q.?Several years ago, it was very popular for trademark owners to register domain names with various misspellings of the trademark to prevent typosquatting. Is it still the case?

A.?Yes, this is still the case. For the cost of a domain name, it is much cheaper to protect the name than have someone else register the domain and divert traffic away. Dispute Resolution processes are time consuming and costly so most companies and tech-savvy individuals proactively register their domains across the different domain extensions and variations to avoid the pain of losing their domain to someone else.

Q.?How often have domain names registered through Webnames.Ca been involved in UDRP and CDRP proceedings?

A.?Very few actually. I?d say on average the numbers are in the single digits each year.

Q.?Do you have the statistics as to the results of these proceedings (% of transfers for both UDRP and CDRP)?

A.?On the UDRP side for gTLD?s:

??http://archive.icann.org/cgi-bin/udrp/udrp.cgi has an incomplete list of the archived proceedings between 1999 and 2007 with 18,754 in total.

??http://archive.icann.org/en/udrp/proceedings-stat.htm has some past statistics.

??More recent proceedings are tracked by each of the approved Dispute Resolution Service Providers.

??On the CDRP side for .CA: CIRA does not publish any statistics but the numbers are so small that those who are interested can scan through each ruling. The rulings and the list of each dispute by year are listed at http://www.cira.ca/legal/cdrp/dispute-resolution-decisions/.

Q.?ICANN has introduced the new gTLDs. What is it, why is it being done and what is your opinion of this development?

A.?The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the governing organization for generic Top-Level-Domains (gTLDs) like .com, .net, .org, .biz, etc, has decided to expand the number of domain name extensions in the world. Currently there are less than two dozen gTLD?s yet ICANN has received over 1900 applications for new TLD?s.

??This development will change the landscape of the internet as we know it. There are three groups of gTLDs which will be released. 1. Generic domains like .shop, .web, .site, .music, .eco, .food 2. Geographical domains like .berlin, .nyc, .paris or 3. Brand or company specific names like .IBM, .Google, .Nike. The brand specific domains will likely be retained by the companies for internal use only rather than for public registration.

??Webnames.ca has been preparing for this development for many years and will be launching a pre-order system shortly.

Q.?Will this result in dramatically increased costs for trademark owners as they will feel obliged to register more and more domain names in the new gTLDs or will the novelty be largely ignored by established companies?

A.?Intellectual property professionals are bracing themselves for a lot of work in the future. In my opinion, large companies will continue to defend their trademarks and brands and there may be a rush for more trademark applications. It will of course get a lot more costly to manage brands online.

??Smaller companies will likely not be able to afford buying up every extension to protect their brand or trademarks and there will probably be more abuse from cybersquatters and more dispute resolution filings happening in the future.

??In the end, the market will decide which domain extensions are popular and which are not. Some of the domain registries may fail if they can?t compete for market share because there will be so much choice.

Q.?Webnames offers an IP Vulnerability Quiz, which looks like a unique feature. It is commendable that you encourage brand owners to pay attention to their IP. Are there any ways in which you go beyond what other registrars do to support IP owners?

A.?We do regular comprehensive brand and IP audits for certain corporate and managed clients. Because some of these clients often register large numbers of domains at a time, we offer a variety of payment options including invoicing, payment by cheque, wire transfer, prepayment and more. Our system is structured to support large domain portfolios with bulk tools allowing for fast and easy bulk updates, including domain registrations, renewals, DNS modifications and more. Our Parent-Child Account Management is also very popular as this powerful feature empowers large companies to manage domain names for multiple departments or clients from one master account. Domain hijacking is also a huge risk and our exclusive ?Account Lock? security feature gives domain portfolios an additional layer of protection by restricting who can access the account by IP address range. Our experienced account managers help companies determine domain portfolio risks and opportunities and develop a domain strategy. We can also assist with domain brokerage and escrow services as needed.

??Thank you, Cybele.

Preschoolers' counting abilities relate to future math performance, researcher says

Preschoolers' counting abilities relate to future math performance, researcher says

Friday, November 9, 2012

Along with reciting the days of the week and the alphabet, adults often practice reciting numbers with young children. Now, new research from the University of Missouri suggests reciting numbers is not enough to prepare children for math success in elementary school. The research indicates that counting, which requires assigning numerical values to objects in chronological order, is more important for helping preschoolers acquire math skills.

"Reciting means saying the numbers from memory in chronological order, whereas counting involves understanding that each item in the set is counted once and that the last number stated is the amount for the entire set," said Louis Manfra, an assistant professor in MU's Department of Human Development and Family Studies. "When children are just reciting, they're basically repeating what seems like a memorized sentence. When they're counting, they're performing a more cognitive activity in which they're associating a one-to-one correspondence with the object and the number to represent a quantity."

Manfra analyzed data from more than 3,000 children from low-income households in order to determine if the children's reciting and counting abilities in preschool affected their first-grade math scores. He found that students who could recite and count to 20 in preschool had the highest math scores in first grade; however, less than 10 percent of the children in the study could count and recite to 20.

"Counting gives children stronger foundations when they start school," Manfra said. "The skills children have when they start kindergarten affect their trajectories through early elementary school; therefore, it's important that children start with as many skills as possible."

Previous research has shown that, in low-income families, parents often think children's educations are the responsibility of teachers, while teachers expect parents to teach some essential skills at home, Manfra said.

"These low-income children aren't learning math skills anywhere because parents think the children are learning them at school, and teachers think they're learning them at home," Manfra said. "This is a problem because it gives parents and teachers the idea that it's not their responsibility to educate the children, when it's everyone's responsibility. This is problematic because, when the children enter kindergarten and are at lower math levels, they don't have the foundational skills needed to set them on paths for future success."

Parents and teachers should integrate counting into all aspects of children's daily activities so they can master the skill, Manfra said.

"You can learn anything anywhere, and this is very true for counting," Manfra said. "When adults read books with children, they can count the ducks on the page. They might count the leaves that fall to the ground outside or the number of carrots at lunchtime."

ATLANTA (AP) ? T.I. added a new line to his expanding resume ? broadcaster.

The Grammy Award-winning rapper and reality television joined the Atlanta Hawks' broadcast team Friday night for the first half of their 95-89 loss to the NBA champion Miami Heat.

"This was a phenomenal opportunity," said T.I., proud that the Hawks built a 46-42 lead during his time on air for SportsSouth. "I really enjoyed myself. I look forward to the next time and doing an entire game."

After several bouts with the law, including a stint in federal prison on weapons charges, the Atlanta native has become active in the community and frequently attends Hawks' games. He sat at courtside between play-by-play man Bob Rathbun and analyst Duane Ferrell.

"They did all the heavy lifting," said the rapper, who was wearing several gold chains and an old-school Hawks cap. "I just chimed in here and there. I have a close relationship, both personally and professionally, with a lot of the guys out there."

Asked if he had any desire to buy a piece of the Hawks, following the path set by hip-hop star and Brooklyn Nets part-owner Jay-Z, T.I. just smiled.

"I would love to be a part of the organization in whatever way possible if I can make a significant contribution," said the entertainer, whose actual name is Clifford Harris. "But there's no pressure. Baby steps."

T.I. gave a hint of new album, "Trouble Man," which is scheduled for release on Dec. 18. It includes collaborations with Andre 3000, Cee Lo Green and Pink.

"I'm extremely proud of it," he said. "I put a lot of work and energy into it. I think it will be the classic album the fans have been wanting me to make. ... I wanted to mix it up. I wanted to raise the bar on what's considered stellar material."

He also stars with his wife in "T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle," a reality show on VH1. Camera crews from the show trailed him around Philips Arena.

T.I. is hopeful about the Hawks, who overhauled their roster during under offseason in hopes of breaking a history of postseason failures.

"This is a new team, a young team," he said. "They have a lot of heart, a lot of desire, a lot of talent that can take them deep in the playoffs."

As for his own athletic prowess, T.I. was frank about his abilities.

There was none of the boastfulness one might hear on his songs.

"I have no organized sports background," he said. "I've done a lot of watching. I'm a professional spectator. I can observe like no one's business."

EU detractors slam Nobel Peace Prize decision

LONDON (AP) ? While some Europeans swelled with pride when the European Union won the Nobel Peace Prize, howls of derision erupted from the continent's large band of skeptics.

To many in the 27-nation bloc, the EU is an unwieldy and unloved agglomeration overseen by a top-heavy bureaucracy devoted to creating arcane regulations about everything from cheese to fishing quotas. Set up with noble goals after the devastation of World War II, the EU now appears to critics impotent amid a debt crisis that has widened north-south divisions, threatened the euro currency and plunged several members, from Greece to Ireland to Spain, into economic turmoil.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

The vocal anti-EU politicians known as euroskeptics burst into a chorus of disdain.

"First Al Gore, then Obama, now this. Parody is redundant," tweeted Daniel Hannan, a euroskeptic European lawmaker ? yes, such things exist ? from Britain's Conservative Party. President Barack Obama won the peace prize in 2009, less than a year after he was elected, while Gore, a former U.S. vice president, was the 2007 recipient for his campaign against climate change.

Nigel Farage, head of the U.K. Independence Party ? which wants Britain to withdraw from the union ? called the peace prize "an absolute disgrace."

"Haven't they had their eyes open?" he said, arguing that Europe was facing "increasing violence and division," with mass protests from Madrid to Athens over tax hikes and job cuts and growing resentment of Germany, the union's rich and powerful economic anchor.

And Dutch populist lawmaker Geert Wilders scoffed: "Nobel prize for the EU. At a time (when) Brussels and all of Europe is collapsing in misery. What next?"

THE SOUND OF ONE HAND CLAPPING

Britain, which has been an EU member since the 1970s but likes to keep an English Channel-wide distance between itself and the union, gave a muted reaction. Prime Minister David Cameron's office had no comment ? a safe policy for the leader of a Conservative Party deeply divided between pro- and anti-EU camps.

The Foreign Office noted, tersely, that the award "recognizes the EU's historic role in promoting peace and reconciliation in Europe, particularly through its enlargement to Central and Eastern Europe. The EU must always strive to preserve and strengthen those achievements."

Conservative lawmaker and former foreign secretary Malcolm Rifkind, whose party is deeply divided on Britain's role in the EU, probably spoke for many Britons when he called the decision slightly eccentric.

"If they want to give the prize for preserving the peace in Europe, they should divide it between NATO and the EU," he said. "Until the end of the Cold War, it was NATO more than anyone else that kept the peace."

Others praised the union's role in reuniting post-Communist Europe but pointed out its greatest failure ? the inability to halt the bloody Balkan wars that raged just outside the EU's borders during the 1990s.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

Some Europeans wondered whether all of the EU's 500 million residents could claim a share of the glory ? and the $1.2 million prize money.

"I've just won the Nobel Peace Prize? How exciting," tweeted CNN's British talk show host Piers Morgan.

"As a member of the EU, I am delighted to accept the Nobel Peace Prize," joked British playwright Dan Rebellato on Twitter. "I shall keep it in the spare room, in case people want to look at it."

BBC business correspondent Robert Peston wondered whether everyone in the EU would get a share of the prize money, which works out to about a quarter of a cent per person.

"What will you spend yours on?" he asked followers on Twitter.

Sweden: Pirate Haven No More?

The recent events surrounding the raid of a Web hosting firm in Sweden have spilled over to the outside world, triggering an attack by Anonymous on several bank, university and government websites in Sweden. The events trace back to the Oct. 1 arrest of Pirate Bay cofounder Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, which happened the same day police raided PRQ, a controversial Web host that is home to several torrent sites.

Roche, Lilly drugs chosen for Alzheimer's trial

(Reuters) - Experimental drugs from Roche Holding AG and Eli Lilly & Co have been selected for a global Alzheimer's disease prevention trial, and a second Lilly drug is being considered for inclusion in the study, Washington University said on Wednesday.

The trial, expected to begin in early 2013, will enroll 160 patients with inherited gene mutations that typically lead to Alzheimer's disease at a young age, the St. Louis university said on Wednesday.

The drugs chosen for the study are Roche's gantenerumab and Lilly's solanezumab. Under consideration is an experimental Lilly drug called a beta-secretase inhibitor.

Researchers in August said solanezumab failed to prevent decline in cognitive and physical function among patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's in two large late-stage studies.

But hopes for the drug were revived a bit on Monday when Lilly said an analysis of pooled data from the two studies showed solanezumab led to a 34 percent reduction in memory decline for patients with mild symptoms over a period of 18 months. It said the change was statistically significant.

Solanezumab, a monoclonal antibody, attacks beta amyloid, a protein that forms plaques in the brain that many scientists believe are a main cause of the progressive memory-robbing disease.

Some industry analysts expect Lilly to seek marketing approval of solanezumab based on the mixed trial data, but others say the Indianapolis drugmaker would have to complete a large costly new trial among patients with mild symptoms to win approval.

Shares of Lilly, up more than 7 percent since the pooled data were unveiled on Monday, were down 1.6 percent in morning trading. Shares of Roche were 1 percent lower amid a moderate decline in the ARCA Pharmaceutical Index of large U.S. and European drugmakers.

Washington University, in a press release, said the Lilly beta-secretase inhibitor, now being tested by the company in mid-stage studies, is designed to reduce the amount of beta amyloid proteins produced by the body, thereby slowing the accumulation of brain plaques.

Apple airs new iPod ad, Bounce

Apple has aired a new iPod ad to coincide with the release of the new iPods called Bounce -- and boy is this a fun ad! It starts out with a new blue iPod touch and a finger that hits play for the song Yeah Yeah by Willy Moon. The iPod then starts bouncing to the beat, changing colors, and eventually splitting into iPod nanos who then split into iPod shuffles. All the colors are represented and it's like one big iPod dance party. Super fun!

What do you think of Apple's new ad?

Clarion Grabs 120 KSF Beverly Hills Office Building for $80M ...

October 9, 2012

By Barbra Murray, Contributing Editor

Clarion Partners has been on a bit of an office shopping spree this year and its latest acquisition is a premier asset with a full tenant roster in Beverly Hills, Calif. In a transaction valued at $80 million, the real estate investment manager purchased the 120,000-square-foot office building at 100 N. Crescent Dr.

Once popularly known as the Clarity Building, 100 N. Crescent first opened its doors in the city?s coveted Golden Triangle enclave in 1989. The four-story structure features a three-level parking facility and a unique amenity that is indicative of its target market: a 100-seat screening room with a separate entrance to accommodate media and entertainment events.

A property like 100 N. Crescent does not hit the market very often, as evidenced by its $666 per square-foot price tag. While there are no guarantees in real estate, the building?s location offers the closest thing to a promise of long-term stability.

As Dean Rostovsky, director with Clarion, noted in a prepared statement, ?The Golden Triangle office market is supply constrained as a result of small land parcels, a code restriction on building height, and very high existing property values.?

And the numbers add to the story. At $3.70 per square-foot, Beverly Hills has one of the highest rental rates in the West Los Angeles submarket, according to a second quarter report by commercial real estate services firm Colliers International.

In Beverly Hills in general, owners do not appear overly eager to let go of their assets. But when properties do trade hands, they trade at a premium. Within the last several months, Spear Street capital acquired the building at 331 N. Maple Dr. for $43 million, or $521 per square-foot; and The Gores Group shelled out $24.2 million for? 9800 Wilshire Blvd., which came at a cost of $577 per square-foot.

Lenders are keen on Beverly Hills, too. In July, commercial real estate advisory firm Lucent Capital, acting on behalf of an unidentified borrower, was able to arrange a $10 million senior bridge loan for the repositioning of the 45,000-square-foot office property at 400 S. Beverly Dr., a Class B building with an occupancy level of just 34 percent.

Institutional Venture Partners Raises $1 Billion For Fund XIV, Its Biggest Yet

Angel investing may be hot, but it looks like things are not too shabby for the tech industry's most powerful late-stage venture capital firms either. Institutional Venture Partners (IVP) is announcing today that it has closed on $1 billion for its 14th fund, dubbed IVP XIV. This represents the largest-ever fund IVP has raised in its 32-year history.

Pew survey finds that 17 percent of US cellphone users go online mostly on their phones

It should hardly come as a surprise that folks are spending more and more of their time online on their cellphones, but a new Pew study released today has shed a bit more light on just how common that's becoming. According to the research group, 17 percent of all cellphone users (including those without smartphones) go online "mostly" on their cellphone, while 33 percent primarily use another device, and five percent use both equally -- a hefty 45 percent still don't use their phones to go online at all, though. Not surprisingly, those numbers go up when broken down by those who do at least use the internet occasionally on their phone -- 31 percent of whom go online primarily on their phone -- and there's an even bigger jump when looking at younger users. Among those 18 to 29 who use the internet on their phones, fully 45 percent use their cellphone for most of their online activities. You can find the full report at the source link below.

Soaring building will help economy | Inside Real Estate News

S. Robert August said Oakwood Homes's recent purchase of Banning Lewis Ranch property in Colorado Springs is a great deal for the Denver builder.

Home building activity in the Denver area continued to soar in May, with no slowdown in sight for at least the near term.

Builders in the metro area pulled 1,986 permits in the first five months of the year for single-family detached homes, 49.6 percent more than the 1,328 during the same period in 2011, according to a report released today by the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver.

May?s tally was the 14th consecutive month that builders pulled more permits when compared with the ?same month in 2011.

?The market continues to be strong,? said Jeff Whiton, president and CEO of the HBA of Metro Denver. ?Year-to-date, on single-family detached homes, we are up 50 percent and that is good. I?m sure next month will add to the string and the next two or three months also look strong. After that, it is just a little far out to predict what will happen. I just can?t see past the horizon.?

The survey covers the counties of Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Elbert and Jefferson and all of the communities in the counties.

The report shows that builders were issued 503 permits in May, up 71 percent from the 294 in May 2011. Some places saw huge percentage increases, even though the numbers were small. In Arvada, for example, builders pulled 39 permits for single-family homes, a 457 percent increase from May 2011, when a mere seven permits were issued. Longmont experienced even a larger percentage gain with even tinier numbers. In May, permit activity grew by a whopping 900 percent, as builders pulled 10 permits last month, compared with only one in May 2011.

Whiton said home sales activity is happening across the board, from first-time home buyers to aging baby boomers looking to downsize.

?The most popular price is in the $275,000 to $325,000 range, but we are seeing some increased strength in the $450,000 to $700,000 market,? Whiton said.

?Builders are telling me that they are seeing a lot of traffic (through models) and the conversion rate (to buyers) are very strong,? Whiton said, although the building activity is still only about a third where it has been historically.

He said master-planned communities seeing a lot of activity include Stapleton and Solterra in Lakewood. Housing consultant S. Robert August said last month?s purchase by Oakwood Homes for 2,600-acres of the northern portion of Banning Lewis Ranch in Colorado Springs was an ?spectacular deal? that will provide Oakwood with home building lots for the next decade.

Across the country, home building activity is expected to grow, Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Real Estate Editors conference in Denver said last week.

?If construction loans begin to open up, I would not be surprised to see a 70 percent increase in housing starts,? Yun said during a panel discussion last Friday at the Brown Palace Hotel.

?The missing component of the economic recovery is a strong residential construction recovery,? Whiton said.

On average, a new home in the Denver area generates about $33,350 in fees, permits and taxes and each new home creates an average of 3.3 new now jobs,and every two homes built creates an ongoing need for another full-time job each year, year after year, he said.

August said that the big national builders, or local builders such as Oakwood Homes with access to capital, have benefitted the most. It is still tough for smaller, local builders and semi-custom builders to get financing,

The No. 1 builder the metro area in the first five months of the year was Century Communities, with 390 permits, according to the HBA of Metro Denver. It is closely followed by Richmond American Homes of Colorado, which is owned by MDC Holdings, with 389 permits. Other active builders in the metro area:

• D. R. Horton, 153 permits.
• Meritage Home, 142 permit.
• Lennar, 137 permits.
• Shea Homes, 108 permits.
• KB Home, 103 permits.
• Taylor Morrison of Colorado, 94 permits.
• Ryland Homes, 92 permits.
• Remington Homes, 63 permits.

Whiton said that home builders also have benefitted from the dearth of resale homes on the market. The inventory of previously owned homes in the Denver area is at a 12-year low.

?While there is not a lot of unsold inventory of new homes on the market, if you order a home, a builder can often deliver it to you in 90 to 120 days,? Whiton said. ?That is much faster than it was even a few years ago. When you buy a resale home, it typically takes 30 to 90 days to close, so the difference isn?t that great.?

The HBA report also showed that activity for single-family attached homes, primarily townhomes, rose by 14.6 percent to 307 from 288. And apartment activity also continued to soar, with 1,101 permits pulled year-to-date, 134 percent more than the 470 in the first five months of 2011.

A new device however, can reveal much the same information as a traditional blood test in real-time, simply by shining a light through the skin. This portable optical instrument is able to provide high-resolution images of blood coursing through veins without the need for harsh fluorescent dyes.Mon, 21 May 2012 11:56:56 EDThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120521115654.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120521103808.htm The plague, bacterial dysentery, and cholera have one thing in common: These dangerous diseases are caused by bacteria which infect their host using a sophisticated injection apparatus. Through needle-like structures, they release molecular agents into their host cell, thereby evading the immune response. Researchers have now elucidated the structure of such a needle at atomic resolution. Their findings might contribute to drug tailoring and the development of strategies which specifically prevent the infection process.Mon, 21 May 2012 10:38:38 EDThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120521103808.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120518132657.htm Tiny beads may act as minimally invasive glucose sensors for a variety of applications in cell culture systems and tissue engineering.Fri, 18 May 2012 13:26:26 EDThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120518132657.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120518081147.htm Using newly developed imaging technology, chemists have confirmed years of theoretical assumptions about water molecules, the most abundant and one of the most frequently studied substances on Earth.Fri, 18 May 2012 08:11:11 EDThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120518081147.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120517193141.htm Researchers have come closer to solving an old challenge of producing graphene quantum dots of controlled shape and size at large densities, which could revolutionize electronics and optoelectronics.Thu, 17 May 2012 19:31:31 EDThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120517193141.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120517143506.htm Scientists have discovered how adding trace amounts of water can tremendously speed up chemical reactions -? such as hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis ?- in which hydrogen is one of the reactants, or starting materials.Thu, 17 May 2012 14:35:35 EDThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120517143506.htmhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120514104848.htm Three proteins have been found to be involved in the accumulation of fatty acids in plants.
