Rotary presentation by Ford Mixology Lab, New York
Our Mission:
We are here to help you rediscover a truly unique American craft, one we insist you learn yourself. We are here to show you how to mix drinks. We are classicists. Mixing up greatness starts with a solid foundation, one that has already been laid out by intrepid imbibers of yore. Americans are once again taking pride in cocktails and the craft of bar tending. This makes us happy. After all, there is nothing more quintessentially American than the cocktail: a tempered mixture of ?ery spirits that somehow becomes, undoubtedly, greater than its individual parts. What appears to be magic in a glass spawns mystery and intrigue. Fleeting essence and well-guarded whispers. A secret knock or a password. Never-mind all
that. The best cocktails do not live behind speakeasy doors, they live behind your own.
And guess what? They are easy to make.

Preventing Mother-to-Baby HIV Infection, Preventing AIDS Orphans
Rotary International will contribute $50,000 and work in collaboration with the Columbia University International Family AIDS Programme on the Mother-Baby AIDS Project in the Dominican Republic.
International funding has overlooked the severity of the epidemic in the Dominican Republic when in fact the Dominican Republic has the highest rate of HIV/ADIS in the Spanish-speaking world and one of the highest rates outside subSaharan Africa. The La Romana Province where the project will be taking place has one of the highest rates of HIV/AIDS in the Dominican Republic.

Overview:
Cybersquatting (also known as domain squatting), is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. Cybersquatters, after registering a domain usually offer to sell the domain to the person or company who owns a trademark contained within the domain at an inflated price. Some cybersquatters put up derogatory remarks about the person or company the domain is meant to represent in an effort to encourage the subject to buy the domain from them. Others post paid links via Google, Yahoo!, Ask.com and other paid advertising networks to the actual site that the user likely wanted, thus monetizing their squatting.
Example: After the announcement of the merger of Exxon and Modil, hundreds of domain name were registered playing on the join names in the hopes of forcing the new company to buy the domain names.
