Tropical Wave Could Form Into Tropical Storm Humberto

(Miami, FL) -- A tropical wave in the Atlantic is likely to form into a tropical depression. The National Hurricane Center in Miami says it could even develop into what would be Tropical Storm Humberto in the next several days. The system is slowly headed toward southeastern Florida and into the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The Center says conditions forecast for the weekend are expected to be more conducive to tropical cyclone formation.

Patent Office Denies Ohio State's Trademark Application For THE

(Columbus, OH) -- The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is denying the Ohio State University's attempt to trademark the word THE. The decision was handed down yesterday, citing two specific areas for the denial. Officials told the University that New York fashion designer Marc Jacobs' clothing company had already submitted an application for THE, and Ohio State was not properly using THE as a trademark. The Patent Office also denied Jacobs request based on largely the same reasons and Ohio State will now have six months to issue a response to the refusal.

Storm Area 51 Creator Pulls Out Of Event

(Bakersfield, CA) -- The man behind 'Storm Area 51' is leaving it in the dust. The California college student created the Facebook event as a joke, but it took off. Two-million people said they'd show up on September 20th to raid a secretive Air Force base in Nevada and hunt for aliens. Problem is, the closest town is tiny and doesn't even have a store or a gas station. Matthew Roberts says "There's no safety or security that can really be promised." He called the event a potential "humanitarian disaster" and has pulled his name and support. The owner of a motel in the town of Rachel had signed up as a partner and plans to go ahead with the three-day gathering.
