No injunction for Beyoncé over ‘Feyoncé’ knockoffs: US judge
NEW YORK — One letter can make all the difference.A federal judge rejected Beyoncé’s request for a permanent injunction to stop a Texas company catering to people engaged to be married from selling dozens of shirts, tank tops, hoodies and other items bearing the name “Feyoncé.” The pop superstar complained in a lawsuit brought in April 2016 that Feyonce Inc’s sale of knockoffs infringed her trademark rights and would confuse consumers. But in a decision issued on Monday, U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan in Manhattan said San Antonio-based Feyonce’s choice to capitalize off the “exceedingly famous” Beyoncé trademark did not mean confusion would follow. “A rational jury might or might not conclude that the pun here is sufficient to dispel any confusion among the...

CNN founder Ted Turner reveals he has Lewy body dementia
WASHINGTON — US billionaire media mogul Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, has revealed he is battling Lewy body dementia, a neurodegenerative disease that alters memory, mood, movement and behavior.In an interview to air Sunday on CBS, the 79-year-old Turner opened up about his battle, and even struggled to remember the name of the disorder.“It’s a mild case of what people have as Alzheimer’s. It’s similar to that. But not nearly as bad. Alzheimer’s is fatal,” Turner said, in excerpts released by the network.“Thank goodness I don’t have that. But, I also have got, let’s — the one that’s — I can’t remember the name of it.” Finally, Turner said: “Dementia.

Randy Wolfe
US court opens new legal ‘Stairway,’ overturns Zeppelin case
SAN FRANCISCO — British rock group Led Zeppelin found itself winding on down the legal road again Saturday after a US appeals court ordered a new trial over claims the rockers copied part of “Stairway to Heaven.”The court in San Francisco overturned a 2016 judgment by a jury, which found no proof the classic 1971 Zeppelin song breached the copyright of “Taurus,” written by Randy Wolfe of a Los Angeles band called Spirit.Wolfe’s trustee, Michael Skidmore, filed the case in 2015 on behalf of his late friend who long maintained he deserved credit for “Stairway” but drowned in 1997 having never taken legal action over the song.The case is “remanded for a new trial,” the higher court panel ruled Friday in a 37-page decision supporting Skidmore’s appeal.It said that...

Knight fever! Irish village transformed into medieval battlefield
CLAREGALWAY, Ireland — Once the chief fortress of a powerful 15th century family descended from an English knight, the west of Ireland castle of Claregalway went back to its roots on Saturday. The grounds of the fully restored Anglo-Norman era tower house were transformed into a medieval battlefield as hundreds of enthusiastic visitors, many from around the world, re-enacted full contact combat and games from centuries ago. “It’s a nice weekend away and it’s something different,” said Denise Fitzgerald from County Kerry, who as the tavern owner for the weekend prepared food for the competitors by frying vegetables off in lard on a campfire. “For me it’s like getting back to basics. I’ve been trying to do everything properly,” said the theatre worker, who was taking part...

US, Japanese pair win Nobel Medicine Prize for cancer therapy
STOCKHOLM — Two immunologists, James Allison of the US and Tasuku Honjo of Japan, won the 2018 Nobel Medicine Prize for research into how the body’s natural defenses can fight cancer, the jury said on Monday. Unlike more traditional forms of cancer treatment that directly target cancer cells, Allison and Honjo figured out how to help the patient’s own immune system tackle the cancer more quickly.The award-winning discovery led to treatments targeting proteins made by some immune system cells that act as a “brake” on the body’s natural defenses killing cancer cells.The Nobel Assembly said after announcing the prize in Stockholm that the therapy “has now revolutionized cancer treatment and has fundamentally changed the way we view how cancer can be managed”.In 1995, Allison...

Molly, Sweden’s anti-doping dog, gives cheats new problem to chew on
STOCKHOLM — In an ice hockey hall in northern Stockholm, Molly, a four-year-old springer spaniel, busily searches for substances her handlers have planted in locker rooms, shoes and trash cans. The dog is training in a practice session for a role her handlers say is unique to her — sniffing out powders, tablets and liquids used by drug cheats to gain an advantage in sport. Sweden’s Sports Confederation says Molly is the world’s first anti-doping dog, introduced to the job last spring in a bid to broaden the country’s efforts in curtailing the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport. “She’s a search dog so she’s trained exactly the same as a dog for customs, for example, for narcotics,” Swedish doping control officer Michael Sjoo, also Molly’s handler, said....

Take that sucker! Seal slaps kayaker with octopus
WELLINGTON - Remarkable footage of the moment a New Zealand fur seal slaps a stunned kayaker in the face with an octopus has gone viral. Kyle Mulinder was paddling off the South Island town of Kaikoura over the weekend when he inadvertently became entangled in a battle between a bull seal and the octopus it wanted for lunch. As the seal tried to finish off the unfortunate cephalopod, shaking its jaws vigorously, Mulinder copped an eight-legged slap in the kisser. Mulinder’s companion Taiyo Masuda was testing out a new GoPro camera at the time and captured the entire incident. “One seal swims right next to us, having an octopus in his mouth, pops right up of the surface next to us, then tries to chew up the leg but ended up slapping our face,” Masuda said. “Kyle was in the right...
