Power Out of Control -
Athol Fugard's "'Master Harold' . . . and the boys" illustrates that power is an issue that has so many people playing a part. Hally's relatively short visit to his parent's shop reveals so many problems within society in South Africa and around the world that still exist today. Everything from the interactions between the characters, to the title of the play, and even their choices of conversation all show that the thing about power struggles is that everyone ends up damaged. Fugard presents several brief displays of the power struggles that affect each character and in turn exposes to the reader that many forms of power are integrated into society so invisibly that we rarely see such struggles, and they are so much more than a black and white issue....

Thompson tries to appeal to anyone who takes time to read the paper, and presumably, his intent is to introduce a new viewpoint to those supportive of the war. In Thompson's political cartoon published, February 26, 2003, he uses a well-known American symbol, Uncle Sam, to comment on current events. By paying close attention to the symbolism and other details in the cartoon, I want to show that Thompson critiques the actions of President Bush, who according to the image, seems to be jumping blindly into a war with Iraq and who will pull an unconvinced country with him....

A novelty item comprising a plush figure, such as half of a cat, having a flexible band of material attached at one end to the figure and at its other end to a hollow tube. During use, the hollow tube is placed within the trunk of a vehicle, and closed on the band, leaving a portion of the band and plush figure outside of the trunk. This gives the comical appearance that a full animal had been closed in the trunk and squashed.
1. A novelty device comprising: (a) a portion of a recognizable object having an end that appears to be missing; (b) a flexible band of material having a first end and a second end said first end of said flexible band being attached to said portion of the recognizable object that appears to be missing; (c) a restraining member comprising a tubular member attached to said second end of said flexible band of material.
2. The novelty device of claim 1 in which said tubular member is hollow.
There have been a number of novelty items particularly designed for automobiles, including plush animal figures that are attached to the windows of cars by suction cups. There have also been novelty items consisting of signs physically attached to the rear of a window of a car including signs, such as "Husband in Trunk" which is a comical retort to the signs that typically say "Baby On Board." In association with the "Husband In Trunk" sign an occasional user has been known to have a man's necktie hanging out of the trunk as well.
In the present invention a novelty item is described consisting of a half a plush figure, such as half a cat, attached to a wide band of flexible material. The other end of the wide band is attached to a thick object, such as a hollow tube, which serves to prevent the flexible portion from being pulled out of a narrow opening. In use, the wide band is laid over the trunk of a car with the hollow tubing inside the car trunk and the half of the plush animal outside of a trunk. The trunk is then closed on the wide flexible band leaving the half animal figure extending outside of a trunk. The thick hollow tubular member prevents the wide band from being pulled out of the trunk.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved novelty device.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved novelty device having specific application to vehicles, such as cars and trucks.
These and other objects of the present invention will be evident from a review of the following specification and the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of the invention taken along lines 2--2.
FIG. 3 is a side view of the present invention illustrating the device as within a trunk of a car.
FIG. 4 is a side view of the present invention illustrating the device in the closed door.
A portion of a plus FIG. 10, such as a cat, has a retaining means, such as a thin flexible fabric band 12 attached to the missing half of the FIG. 10. The wide band capable of being stretched 12 is attached by means of sewing one end 14 of the wide band 12 directly to the FIG. 10. The strength of the bond between the band 12 and the figure 10 may be increased by sewing the end 14 of the wide band 12 within folds 13 and 15 of the outer fabric 16 forming the FIG. 10.
The other end 18 of the wide flexible band 12 is wrapped around a thick restraining means, such as a hollow tubular member 20 and then sewn back on itself at 22. The hollow tubular member 20 may be removable, and the end 18 of the wide band 12 having a hook and loop Velcro 19 attachment, for removably attaching the band 12 to a corresponding member in the trunk for semi-permanent installation.
In the preferred embodiment, the wide flexible band 12 is approximately 4-6 inches wide and about 4-6 inches long. Such a length is desirable to prevent the device from becoming loose during operation.
The animal FIG. 10 is made in the conventional manner that plush figures are made, having an outer fabric 16 filled with soft filling 24.
During use of the invention, the user would place the hollow tubular member 20 within an enclosure, such as in a trunk of a car as shown in FIG. 3 or on one side of the door D such as shown in FIG. 4, and the trunk or door closed over the wide band 12. The visual appearance from outside the car trunk or door will therefore be that half o a cat or other object having been squashed by the door of the trunk.
If a semi permanent attachment is desired, one half of a Velcro devise is attached to the inside of the trunk, and the other half of the Velcro attached to the wide band. The device would be left in place and would merely be flipped out of the trunk when it was desired to be visible.
It is possible to use a number of different materials as the retaining means, which would prevent the flexible wide band 12 from sliding between the space between the door. The long hollow tubing is desirable because it adds weight to the end of the wide member, making it easier to install and at the same time, prevent the fabric from twisting.
While the invention has been described with regards to the preferred embodiment, it is recognized that other variations may be made without departing from the concept of the present invention.
For example, different items, besides cats or other animals may be used. Also, the figure is preferred to be plush for each of manufacture and appearance, but molded on other means may be employed.
It is also possible to use other than flexible materials for the band 12. However, the use of the flexible band permits the material to conform to the door space, and at the same time, withstand the expected pulling on the object.

It's gotta be the shoes! Wade stays loyal to Jordan brand.
Nov 18, 2011, 9:14 AM EDT
Most NBA players idolize Michael Jordan. They grew up watching him play, they wear his shoes, they practiced dunks sticking out their tongues — they want to be like Mike.
Or did.
Jordan has been one of the hardline NBA owners who has driven us to the brink of no NBA season. Jordan is one of the guys that thought David Stern went too far with that 50/50 offer, Jordan is one of the guys who wants to break the union. That has led to Pacers swingman Danny Granger and rookie to be Klay Thompson calling Jordan a hypocrite, Stephon Marbury and Metta World Peace taking swings at Jordan, and the Wizards' Nick Young tweeting he would never wear Jordan's shoes again.
Dwyane Wade won't go that far.
Wade is one of the big ambassadors — and gets big checks — from the Nike Jordan brand. And he told Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel he still loves those
checks Air Jordan shoes.
"I really didn't need to get involved in all that," Wade said. "Obviously I wear a different hat than certain other guys that got involved in it. And I stay away from it. I have an obligation and I have a job to do and I'm going to do my job….
"That's on Nick Young," Wade said. "That's his moment. Obviously, that's his own choice and decision and, you know, that's something he's going to have to deal with. I can't let that affect me. I have my own things to run, my own stuff to think about what I'm doing with my own shoes."
Translation: "I like to get paid."
Not that there is anything wrong with that. Just own it.

if getting paid to wear my own custom Jordan shoe is being phony…..sign me up! Danny Grainger has a big mouth, he's always yapping no surprises there, Artest is crazy, no surprises there either, Klay Thompson you haven't even played yet you really need to be quiet, you will pay for your ignorance on the court and Nick Young you sound young to make such a dumb statement. It's business, he cant play both sides of the fence he's an owner now and that doesn't take anything away from a fresh pair of Jordan 3's or some saucy 12's, get a grip bonehead!
