My understanding is that TM means they are asserting that it's their trademark, 
but that it"s not yet officially theirs (or they would use the R symbol). If 
Randy wants to claim prior ownership of the mark, he must contact them to 
assert it now, and demand they stop using it. Otherwise, he will have to stop 
using it later. If he doesn't claim his ownership now, he won't be able to 
later. We have some lawyers here on Gatortalk, don't we? Have I got that more 
or less right?

Haiti earthquake
The Gator Nation is rallying to help survivors in Haiti following last week's 
devastating earthquake. While students set a goal to raise $50,000 — $1 for 
every student on campus — for relief efforts, a team of faculty and staff from 
UF was gearing up to travel to Haiti to deliver food and supplies and provide 
medical assistance.. In addition, a UF forensic expert is already in Haiti 
helping with identification of earthquake victims, and Shands HealthCare 
hospitals are prepared to accept patients from Haiti.

Dead Sea-dwelling microbes reveal roots of protein common to all higher life 
forms
We have more in common with Dead Sea-dwelling microbes than previously thought. 
UF researchers have found that one of the most common proteins in complex life 
forms may have evolved from proteins found in microbes that live in deadly 
salty environments.

>From crickets to whales, animal calls have something in common
Scientists who compare insect chirps with ape calls may look like they are 
mixing aphids and orangutans, but researchers have found common denominators in 
the calls of hundreds of species of insects, birds, fish, frogs, lizards and 
mammals that can be predicted with simple mathematical models.

Can you take a five minute shower? Campus pilot program expands
UF's highly successful "Can You Take a Five Minute Shower?" water conservation 
campaign is expanding in campus housing. Residents are being asked to take 
shorter, cooler showers — and to turn off water while brushing teeth and report 
leaking faucets — to support campus water and energy conservation efforts.
