Mini Mackinac Bridge
The Mini Mackinac Bridge is an easy stop off the freeway and easy to find by following the driving directions (we got off at exit 127). We were able to walk across the bridge and took some nice pictures. It was especially nice since there wasn't an admission fee.
[Donna S., 07/02/2015]The Mini Mac bridge is back in our ownership now and will be closed for the winter, and then under minor repairs and painting next summer, but will be open. There will not be a cost to cross over it or feed the fish. Enjoy it please, but respect the amount of work it takes to maintain it and keep it looking good. Your help is appreciated, thank you.
[Chris Darling, 10/25/2012]Mini Mackinac Bridge
The Mini Mackinac Bridge is still closed as of September 2012.
[Lisa Brown, 09/19/2012]... but fortunately, still accessible for photographs from the side.
Mini Mackinac Bridge
An interesting precursor to the real thing. The mini bridge can no longer be crossed since it has a "No Trespassing" sign buy it's still a fun little detour.
[Kim, 07/11/2010]Behind the Mini-Mac Storage facility, the proprietor has constructed a small scale replica of the Mackinac Bridge complete with upper and lower peninsulas, and a small pond representing lakes. There is a sign claiming that it costs a dollar to walk across, though when I was there there was no-one home to take my money. It has been there at least 11 yrs. It's silly, but if people actively search out muffler men, then this definitely deserves a nod.

Bjorn Heidelstrom is cycling from Oslo to Cape Town and collecting signed football jerseys from all teams of all levels along the way. All these shirts will be be sewn together to form the world's largest signed football-shirt – a symbol of the unity of the football family and its solidarity with the plight of young refugees.
He says, "We are creating the world's largest football shirt – a shirt and a symbol that is sewn together by the signed club-shirts." The Shirt symbolises the "football family standing together and not forgetting the small ones."
Big clubs, little clubs and even fans who sign their own shirts can become a part of the one big shirt – all are welcome!
His website showing the number of shirts collected so far (updated whenever he gets some time off from cycling) is here
Some more details here..
[Bjorn Bjornstrom is ex-professional footballer with a long career in Norway and England (Leyton Orient). Since hanging up his boots, he has worked with football as a focus for marketing, media, values, Soccer Against Crime and Valerenga against racism.
Shirt 2010 already has the backing of the Norwegian Refugee Council and the South African Premier Soccer League and is hoping to get official recognition from FIFA over the coming weeks.Along the route, he's picked up official support from a number of organisations, including the Irish Football Association, and whilst he's cycling through Spain, we hope to get more organisations on board and turn The Shirt 2010 into a symbol of solidarity for football fans around the world.]

Welcome to a new edition of Trivia Tuesday. Your challenge this week is to name the nation to which the following island or archipelago belong. This could be difficult, so I may include the list of 10 countries a little later if folks are struggling. There is also a bonus question below.
1. Canary Islands
2. Azores
3. Aruba
4. Galapagos Islands
5. Svalbard
6. Aleutian Islands
7. Cayman Islands
8. Greenland
9. Zanzibar
10. Chatham Islands
Bonus: In last night's Australian Open Quarterfinals, #1 seed Caroline Wozniacki lost to the 11th-seed Kim Clijsters. Meanwhile, on the men's side, #3 Roger Federer defeated Juan Martin del Potro, the 11th seed. Why is it that the 11th seed faced the #1 seed on the women's side but the #3 seed on the men's side? Shouldn't the brackets be set up the same?
As always please leave your answers in the comments section below, and do not use the internet for assistance. Good luck!
This quiz is courtesy of the fine folks at Stump Trivia.

Bonus: I'm guessing that the bracketing is all screwy because there's more than just the seeded players playing, and therefore it's not all nice and simple like an NCAA bracket. I'm not sure this really qualifies as an answer. - 5:37 PM

It is Australia...obviously they like to confuse the crap out of people.
- Sean said...
Nichole - Nicely done especially without needing the multiple choice options. Sweden and Iceland were incorrect though.
Messiah - Numbers 8 through 10 are correct. I'm sure you're shocked to learn that the Dharma Initiative is incorrect.
Josh - I think it's a tennis thing, not an Australia thing. I'm pretty sure the other Grand Slam events also have odd brackets.
Oh, #5 is Norway. - 10:49 PM

March data discrepancies, good foot traffic over the weekend, and MGM Cotai.
Below are some recent tidings from our contacts in Macau:
Thoughts on the March Data Discrepancies
The data leaks originating from Macau government sources are usually reliable. So what happened in March when 60-80% growth turned into 42%? There are a few theories floating around but we thought that these two were most plausible:
- There is some chatter on the ground that in order to stem any potential Visa restriction tightening, government officials purposefully pumped up market expectations so that the healthy 40+% actual growth came across as disappointing.
- While revenues certainly slowed in the back half of the month, the magnitude implied by the 15 day, 28 day and 31 day mark were quite large and therefore we would have expected to hear at least qualitative evidence of a slowdown in play - which we clearly did not. One explanation is that volumes didn't really change materially over the course of the month but that there was a reversal in luck.
Strong foot traffic in the first week of April
The Ching Ming holiday, which celebrates the oncoming of Spring, just ended and the traffic in Macau has been very solid. Apparently the Venetian had 110K visitors this past Saturday versus an average of 65k. Our contact on the ground believes that strong trends will continue through Golden Week which takes place the first week of May.
MGM Cotai Site
It probably isn't a complete surprise that MGM is working to secure a Cotai site ahead of its IPO. According to our sources, MGM's Cotai site sits directly behind Sands' 5 & 6 and is directly overlooked by City of Dream's (COD) Hyatt hotel. The road access is good although the location isn't great since it's on the back side of the strip. The block size is almost exactly the same as 5 & 6.
Below is the a map showing the proposed MGM site plus two photos with a view of the current state and its position re: COD and lots 5 and 6.
The government released its G-19 data a short while ago (G19 = non-mortgage consumer credit for the uninitiated, i.e. credit card, auto and student loan debt). After last month's major slowdown in credit contraction in the revolving portion, we were eager to see whether it was the start of a trend or just an aberration. This month suggests it was an aberration. Revolving credit shrank $9 billion at an annualized rate of 13.1% in February as compared with positive growth (upwardly revised) of 2.1% for January. Currently, the peak to trough decline in revolving consumer credit stands at 12.0%, or $117 billion.
On the margin, this is a negative. The companies principally affected include Capital One (COF), Discover (DFS), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan (JPM) and Citigroup (C).

Daily Trading Ranges
20 Proprietary Risk Ranges
Daily Trading Ranges is designed to help you understand where you're buying and selling within the risk range and help you make better sales at the top end of the range and purchases at the low end.
FDO: 2Q Continues the Surge
Conclusion: Beat the Q with accelerating comp trends and SG&A leverage. Comp growth strength indicating discounters stores have some gas left in the tank here. Read throughs on DG, DLTR, and NDN.
1) Changes to our view on…
a) Company: Specific to FDO is the recent expansion of store hours, which is now chain-wide. This has got to be helping but there has been no quantification as to what extent. Net, net consumables driven traffic and some benefit from internal efforts (store hours, POS reset, improved consumables merchandising) is clearly taking hold here. We're no more inclined to own it here, but have a bit more evidence to consider before shorting.
b) Industry: Management was quick to point out that the payroll cycle appears to be as pronounced as it has been for while, which is interesting given the pick-up. Demand is coming across the store, even in consumables which has already been strong. Overall demand is seemingly improving across all demographics, channels, and product offerings. Pent-up demand, a slightly improve employment picture, and a favorable year over year tax credit environment (especially for lower income spectrum) contributed to uptick.
2) Key Issue: Management expects same store sales to continue to accelerate throughout the year- largely a result of easing compares and the culmination of the company's latest strategies. They'd better! With 1-year compares getting easier (especially in 4Q), the company's guidance already suggests that 2-year trends are starting to flatten out. The big question here is whether there is some real underlying strength that we simply can't explain (ie they're sandbagging), or is this setting up to be a big deceleration story in 2H?
3) Read through for peers: Positive for DG, DLTR, NDN, WMT, HBI and GIL. Perhaps even positive for other retailers geared toward lower-priced discretionary items, such as Collective Brands (PSS).
Clean Headline: $0.81
Guidance: Updated on March 4th to $0.70 - $0.80
Street: $0.78
Last Year Clean: $0.43
Sales growth: +4.9% -- Revs slightly higher due to 3.6% comp growth which marked a 1 and 2 year acceleration. The increase in comparable store sales was a result of increased customer traffic, as measured by the number of register transactions, and an increase in the value of the average customer transaction. Consumables growth slowed sequentially to 5.1% from 5.8% in Q1 10 while home products, apparel, and seasonal/electronics improved on the margin.
GM %: 35.4%, up 175bps yy. Result of higher purchase mark-ups and reductions in markdown expenses, freight expenses and inventory shrinkage.
SG&A: +4.1%, -20 bps, margin declined primarily as a result of lower utility costs and lower insurance expense which more than offset higher expenses related to expanded store operating hours and certain store maintenance and repair costs.
Balance sheet: Inventories down 10% on 5% sales growth. Good spread, sequentially improving. Capex as a % of sales was in line with Q1's levels but increased on a TTM basis.
SIGMA: In sweet spot; positive trajectory to the upper right with better margins and improved sales-inventory delta.
Guidance: Increased 2010 guidance to $2.48 - $2.58 from $2.15 - $2.35, Street at $2.77. Expects Q3 EPS at $0.71 and $0.76 compared with $0.62 last year and street $0.70. Comps for Q3 expected to increase 6% to 8%. Favorable weather trends and the impact of the Easter shift have March comps +11%.
Position: Long Germany (EWG); Short Euro (FXE)
With Keith buying Germany (via the etf EWG) in our model portfolio today, we thought it worth following up that despite today's moonshot number in German Factory Orders (+24.5% in February Y/Y), the comparison is off the trough in orders of -38.0% in February last year (see chart below). Last month also saw a sizable annual improvement (+20.6%) versus -36.8% in Feb. '09. Month-over-month manufacturing orders were flat (0.0%).
The improvement on an annual comparison is in line with our bullish thesis on the German economy, namely that its exports continue to benefit from increased global demand (and in the near term a weaker EUR), in a favorable inflation environment with CPI at +1.1% in Mar. Y/Y and PPI at -2.9% in Feb. Y/Y. Additionally, the most recent PMI Manufacturing and Services figures show a continued improvement in trend.
Germany fits one of our investment themes of owning High Grade Versus High Yield. We're also currently short the EUR versus the USD via the etf FXE, a position that continues to work as the fears associated with Greece and the other PIIGS remain at large.

Barring a couple of names in QSR, volume is slowing. Regardless, stocks keep going up!
Looking at the table below, it is clear to see which stocks have been performing well: almost all of them. The most consistent performers over the past few days, from a price and volume perspective, have been PNRA, CMG, RUTH (outside of yesterday), PZZA, and CBRL.
In terms of commodities, the PNRA story has been helped by declining wheat and corn prices. It seems that those trends may be reversing lately; we will be monitoring these trends closely.
In terms of upgrades/downgrades, there has been plenty of activity in the last 24 hours.
- This morning, CMG was upgraded to neutral from underperform. Yesterday the stock was up 2.4% on strong volume. While CMG, at 12%, has almost twice the short interest of the average QSR stock, it is up 38.6% year-to-date. CMG is trading at 26.4x NTM EPS and 11.7x EV/EBITDA as compared to 8.6x for the QSR group.
- Also this morning, SBUX was upgraded to BUY from HOLD. The stock was flat yesterday.
- DRI was upgraded to outperform from neutral. Yesterday the stock was down on weak volume.
- CPKI was upgraded to neutral from underperform following a flat day of trading yesterday.
- Papa John's was upgraded to BUY from HOLD. The upgrade cites better sales trends and an improved outlook for the price of cheese.

Flextronics loses key customer RIM; sees weak fourth-quarter
Contract manufacturer Flextronics Inc (FLEX.O) forecast fourth-quarter results below Wall Street expectations, and said it now expects almost no revenue from key customer Research In Motion RIM.TO RIMM.O, sending its shares down 6 percent after the bell.
"The December quarter marks the last quarter where our revenues reflect meaningful business with RIM," Chief Financial Officer Paul Read said on a conference call with analysts. RIM, which contributed about $100 million in revenue in the third quarter, will now bring in almost nothing.
RIM accounted for more than 10 percent of Flextronics' net sales of $29.4 billion in fiscal 2012.
Flextronics also said it would close factories and cut jobs, and take related charges over the December and March quarters.
The company said it expects fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of between 11 cents and 15 cents per share, on revenue of $5 billion to $5.3 billion.
Analysts were expecting adjusted earnings of 20 cents per share, on revenue of $5.69 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Flextronics' customers include Apple Inc (AAPL.O), Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O), Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ.N) and Xerox Corp (XRX.N).
In the fourth quarter, the company expects to take an additional pre-tax restructuring charge of between $100 million and $125 million, which comprises employee severance and benefit costs.
Net income more than halved to $32 million, or 5 cents per share, in the third quarter, from $106 million or 15 cents per share, a year earlier.
Revenue fell about 18 percent to $6.12 billion.
Excluding items, the company earned 21 cents per share.
Analysts had expected adjusted earnings of 21 cents per share, on revenue of $6 billion.
Flextronics shares were down about 6 percent at $6.30 after the bell. They closed at $6.72 on the Nasdaq on Thursday.

A trip to Devil's bridge
... it, and then it decided to take us through a tiny mountain village where the roads were so narrow we barely had a couple of inches on either side of the car !! So all in all some exciting moments, but the best bit about the trip was the scenery yet again - breathtaking ...
Day 45 - Taormina to Castrovillari
... tricky question to answer. So we just went for medium.
It turned out we had agreed to a sort of mini banquet. It was nice but we were really tired by now and so ate up and then headed back to our B&B where we still couldn't get to our room before having to share a Limoncello with the owner.
In the end we finally re entered our room at 10:30pm.
If you've survived reading this long saga hopefully you will understand that this is why we have no photos to post ...
Day 29 - Alberobello to Matera & Frascineto
... they are pretty special. Called Trulli's and built out of dry limestone rocks and boulders collected from the fields and without the use of mortar in the joints and all with interesting conical shaped roofs. History states that this type of construction was adopted by the first settlers primarily as a means of tax avoidance. The fact that they were all built as completely dry stone wall structures meant that ...
Morano Calabro and Alan
... We make it to the top and it's,beautiful.
All day on this trip we have been hearing Rosanne say to Steve; "Steve have you taken a photo of this? Steve, Steve, come here. Steve, Steve give her the camera so she can take a photo of us; Steve, Steve, look at this it's beautiful, Steve, Steve look at the yellow house. We all can't help but think that it reminds us of the u tube video of the squirrel that calls out Alan! Alan! Etc, etc. then Steve Steve! ...
Mushrooms, Door knockers, storms and sugar
... Church! Sanctuary take sanctuary! Haha it's nice and warm here and we wait for another 30 mins or so before making our way to Ghiandaro for a serious sugar fix! We enter the pasticceria and we wow at the many delicate sweets and cakes. It's a a sugar fix made in heaven! We decide to buy a tray of sweets each one of us picking out 2 or 3 of what we'd like to try. Admittedly we are buying with our eyes as once we begin to devour the beautiful pastries ...

Typically when articles are written about �men�s health� they address issues such as prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction, testosterone deficiency, and enlarged prostate. Although these issues are important, they are certainly not the only issues that impact men and perhaps more importantly, are not the main causes of illness or death in men. The purpose of this article is to give a basic overview of the most common medical issues that affect men as they age and tell you how to avoid or get help for the most common health risks that men face.
1. Be proactive. Don�t ignore your health problems and concerns. Men are 25 percent less likely than women to have visited a doctor within the past year and are 30 percent more likely than women to be hospitalized for common medical problems like heart failure, diabetes and pneumonia. The first step in avoiding medical problems is to make your health part of your daily routine. Have a yearly physical, and pay attention to routine screening recommendations. And, and do not ignore symptoms of illness until they become extreme.
2. Avoid the top killers. Heart disease, cancer, lung disease and stroke are the top killers in adult men. These diseases have many of the same causes in common. Here are several ways to avoid them: Stop smoking! Smoking increases the risk of heart disease, lung disease, stroke, and almost every type of cancer. Maintain a healthy weight with a balance of reasonable calorie intake and regular exercise. Manage chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes. And, make certain you get enough sleep.
3. Avoid or address obesity and Type II (adult onset) diabetes. Approximately 30 percent of adult men in Monroe County are obese and 8.6 percent have diabetes. These are major contributors to poor health as well as other problems, including difficulty with urination and sexual dysfunction. Address these issues head on.
4. Regular screening tests are important. Men should start performing monthly testicular self-exam to monitor for testis cancer starting at age 14 and should see the doctor once per year to make health a priority. Starting at age 40 men should consider screening for colorectal cancer every�two years. Discuss with your primary care physician. Your family history and ethnicity may play a significant role in your screening decision. One in six men in the U.S. will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime, making it the most common non-skin cancer in men.
Prostate cancer, however, has wide variability in terms of how dangerous it is. The American Urological Association, as well as several other cancer organizations, cites strong medical evidence that screening for prostate cancer saves lives especially when detected early. In fact, since screening for prostate cancer using a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test and a rectal exam has become commonplace, the death rate from prostate cancer has gone down by 42 percent. Early detection of the disease gives men the opportunity to confer with their doctor to make more informed choices regarding observation vs. treatment.
5. Watch for signs of Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome (TDS). Testosterone (Te) is a male hormone produced by the testes. It has several effects on the body including regulation of sexual drive, general energy level and sense of well-being. In addition Te prevents osteoporosis, helps maintain muscle mass, and plays a role in mental acuity. If you are having a decline in these areas, you may wish to speak with your doctor about screening.

Greece? We're still talking about Greece?
Yes we are. Last night, European leaders agreed to a deal that will allow Greece to get 44 billion more Euros in three tranches.
In a note to clients this morning, SocGen's Kit Juckes declared: "World record can-kicking attempt successfully achieved."
So what are the terms/premise?
We summarize in bullets a note from SocGen's Michala Marcusen:
- Greece gets more breathing room: Goal of 4.5% of GDP primary surplus postponed from 2014 to 2016.
- Greek loan rates are lowered by 100 basis points.
- Maturity on loans extended by 15 years (reducing payments).
- Lower EFSF fee.
- Other countries to forgo profits on Greek debt that has been purchased by the ECB.
- Greece may do a debt buyback.
- Goal is to get Greek debt down to 122% of GDP in 2020.
One thing everyone is talking about: The need to do some kind of big debt haircut, whereby official entities (ECB, etc.) do writedowns.
That seems to be consensus, although Dan Gros at FT argues that it's overrated, and that actually Greece's annual debt service costs as a % of GDP aren't really that high, so should be doable.

Pakistan to Pare Budget Gap Even as Power Woe Hurts Growth
Haris Anwar and Augustine AnthonyPakistan's new government pledged to narrow the widest budget deficit in more than two decades, as Finance Minister Ishaq Dar set a goal of reviving growth in an energy-starved economy he said was "shattered."
The fiscal-deficit target for the year starting July 1 is 6.3 percent of gross domestic product, compared with a shortfall of 8.8 percent in 2012-2013, Dar said in his budget speech in Islamabad yesterday. He imposed additional levies, such as a sales-tax increase to 17 percent from 16 percent, to help fund higher spending on roads and dams.
"Painful fiscal adjustment will be needed for two or three years to put the economy back on track," Dar said at a briefing in Islamabad today. "We plan to raise taxes through reforms and plugging leakages, not increasing rates across the board."
The government plans to unveil an energy policy soon as Pakistan grapples with $5 billion of power-industry dues from unpaid bills that have choked electricity generation. The economy's woes add to other challenges facing Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, ranging from a plunge in foreign reserves that has boosted the odds of an International Monetary Fund bailout, to a Taliban insurgency in the northwest and growing insecurity.
"The deficit target is achievable if they keep subsidies and current expenditure under control," said Raza Jafri, head of research at AKD Securities Ltd. in Karachi.
Tax Revenues
Tax revenues are projected to climb 22.3 percent to 2.59 trillion rupees ($26.3 billion) next fiscal year, according to budget documents. New tax measures will yield 202 billion rupees, Dar said today. Sharif will cut spending by the Prime Minister's office by 45 percent. Government expenditure excluding defense, salaries and debt servicing will be cut by 30 percent.
Pakistan's benchmark KSE100 index rose 2.3 percent to a record 22,833.20, at 12:47 p.m. local time. Pakistan State Oil, the biggest fuel retailer, rose 5 percent, the daily limit, to 330.42 rupees.
"The budget is good news for the entire corporate sector," said Saad Khan, an investment analyst at Askari Investments Management Ltd. in Karachi that manages 11 billion rupees in stocks and bonds. "Foreign inflows will continue after this budget."
Global funds bought a net $219.4 million of Pakistani shares in the 10 months ended April 30 compared with net sales of $63.5 million a year ago, according to the central bank.
Growth Target
Sharif is aiming for 4.4 percent economic growth next fiscal year, up from an estimated 3.6 percent this year. Dar said another objective is to keep inflation in single digits. Consumer prices rose 5.13 percent in May from a year earlier.
Dar, who has said he intends to curb tax evasion, imposed an additional 2 percent sales tax on all supplies made to unregistered companies, to help promote documentation.
The government set goals for 2016 of 7 percent GDP growth, a 4 percent budget shortfall and an increase in foreign reserves to $20 billion. Pakistan's tax to GDP ratio is 8.9 percent.
The finance minister said June 11 that the government plans to end energy dues in 60 days to tackle a power crisis that is reducing GDP growth by 2 percentage points annually.
Pakistan's rupee has declined about 4 percent against the dollar in the past year as concern that the economy may struggle weighs on the currency.
Foreign reserves slid 43 percent to $6.4 billion in June from a year earlier, enough to cover about two months of imports, central bank data shows.
Loan Program
The IMF won't sign a new loan program without a "deep and clear" commitment from Pakistan on a set of policy reforms to curb the budget deficit, Jeffrey Franks, head of the IMF's Pakistan mission, said in January. An IMF team will arrive in Pakistan on June 19 for a routine visit, Dar said today, without giving details.
Miftah Ismail, an energy adviser to Sharif, said June 5 the government in the short run "will have to write a cheque to pay off a big pile of debt that has choked" the energy industry. That may be done by selling rupee bonds to local banks, he said.
The $232 billion economy has expanded an average of about 3 percent since the start of 2008, less than half the annual pace of the previous five years, IMF data shows.
Sharif returned to power more than 13 years after his second period as premier was cut short by a 1999 army coup. Having won almost half of the seats contested in the May 11 general election, his Pakistan Muslim League-N party can govern without a major coalition partner.

In what some are calling "Uber's first casualty," San Francisco's Yellow Cab Co-Op says it will file for bankruptcy. Their decision comes after a San Francisco court ordered the company to pay $8 million to a passenger who was severely injured in an accident while riding in one of their cabs.
But Yellow Cab is also struggling to compete for both fares and drivers with Uber and Lyft, which both have their headquarters in San Francisco. Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez of the San Francisco Examiner broke the bankruptcy story, and joins Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson with details.
This segment aired on January 7, 2016.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Once a piece of clothing has been styled, cut and shaped according to a designer's vision, it is a form of expression arguably no less worthy of copyright protection than say, a photograph, painting, or poem. However, the "useful article" doctrine generally denies copyright protection for aspects of clothing design that are considered inherently functional or "utilitarian." So, for example, the two-dimensional pattern on a dress may be copyrightable, but the three-dimensional cut of the dress is generally not protected by copyright. This is because a two dimensional design usually is thought to be "severable" from the functional purpose of the dress, while the shape of the dress — which serves the functional purpose of fitting the human body — is generally not severable from that function. This "severability" analysis may appear simple on the surface but, as highlighted by a recent opinion issued by the District Court for the Western District of Tennessee in Varsity Brands, Inc. v. Star Athletica LLC, its varied application by different courts sometimes leads to apparently conflicting results.
"Cheerleading Uniform-ness"
In 2010, Varsity Brands, which designs, manufactures and sells cheerleading apparel, sued its competitor Star Athletica ("Star"), claiming that Star had infringed on Varsity's copyrights by incorporating Varsity's designs onto the surface of Star's cheerleading uniforms. The challenged design elements did not include the shape or contours of the outfits, but rather consisted of the two-dimensional stripes, colors and other ornamentation familiar to cheerleading uniforms.
Varsity argued that because their designs were sketched independently of the uniform's functional features, they were separable from the uniform's functional purpose. However, the District Court disagreed and found that the designs were functional, in that they provided the cheerleading uniforms their "cheerleading uniform-ness." In other words, the Court found that the designs were utilitarian and not severable from the garment's function as a cheerleading uniform. As a result, copyright did not protect Varsity's designs, and the copyright claims were dismissed.
Uniform Function v. Clothing Function
The Court's opinion appears to conflict with an opinion issued by the Second Circuit in Chosun International, Inc. v. Cherish Creations. In that case, Chosun sued one of its competitors for copying the designs of its full-body animal Halloween costumes. The District Court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim on the grounds that, because all aspects of the costumes served the useful function of "masquerading," the "useful article" doctrine dictated that they were not eligible for copyright protection. On appeal, the Second Circuit vacated this decision, holding that while articles of clothing as a whole were "useful" items that could not be copyrighted, it was possible that certain elements of a costume, including for example the plush sculpted hoods and paws in the plaintiff's designs, were separable from the costume's function as clothing and could receive copyright protection.
Thus, in contrast to the District Court in Varsity Brands, which focused on whether any of the designs at issue were severable from a garment's functional purpose as a cheerleading uniform, the Second Circuit in Chosun looked to whether any elements of the Halloween costumes could be severed from a costume's functional purpose as clothing. Had the Varsity Brands applied the Second Circuit's reasoning, Varsity likely would have prevailed because the designs at issue did not enhance the outfit's functionality as clothing, i.e., its ability to cover the human body.
The case is currently on appeal before the Sixth Circuit. Whether Varsity will prevail the second time around remains to be seen, but the Sixth Circuit's ultimate decision will certainly make for a useful read.

There was a neighborhood
"Protecting families from Pornography"
class that I sadly missed the other night.
Thankfully one of my friends that attended typed up these
notes about it!
Here's a paragraph from her post. I learned SO much!
Statistics say that most pornography addicts start between ages 10-14, with 11 the most common age. And it can even start sooner. She shared some terrifying statistics from
. Pornography is very personal, private, accessible, and acceptable. It is so scary how big a problem it is for our kids. She stressed that it is not a matter of IF our kids are exposed to it, but WHEN. We have to expect that our kids will be exposed it pornography and we have to be prepared to help them when the time comes.
The biggest thing about helping our kids is to never shame them, no matter what they do. They have to feel like it is safe to talk to us. If they feel shamed, they will lie about any experiences they do have and we will be unable to help them.
I promise, you'll want to read more
thank you so much for sharing your notes brita! i pray these will help many, many people.

paula deen talks funny
we were watching paula deen make these delicious looking
chocolate cookies
and anne turns to me and says, "mom, she's... weird!" "huh?" i said. "hers talks funny!" she replies. i started laughing and just about said back to her, "yous talks funny!"
i didn't even attempt explaining accents. maybe i should have. hmmm. she's four.
today i'm grateful that maple syrup isn't as sticky as the regular aunt jemima kind.
as i staggered in on a waffle making session this morning, half asleep and not at all ready for a new day, all of the sudden i hear annie and sabrina shouting at each other while syrup is dripping down the cupboards. it came out too quickly as they poured almost the whole entire bottle on anne's eggos this morning.
deep breath
liquid stick.
it was all over. i yelled a little. then i felt bad because i new it was an accident. the maple syrup bottle is not kid friendly. it has a ginormously wide pouring spout- or whatever you call a syrup container cap. dumb. they'll learn.
annie looked too cute the other day with her freshly curled hair.
i felt the need to document that i do
her hair.
most days it's a hot mess! my neighbors can attest to that!
rat's nest or not, i will always love hers!

Michel Foucault's suggestion that this century would become known as "Deleuzian" was considered by Gilles Deleuze himself to be a joke "meant to make people who like us laugh, and make everyone else livid." Whether serious or not, Foucault's prediction has had enough of an impact to raise concern about the potential "deification" of this enormously influential French philosopher. Seeking to counter such tendencies toward hagiography-not unknown, particularly since Deleuze's death-Ian Buchanan has assembled a collection of essays that constitute a critical and focused engagement with Deleuze and his work. Originally published as a special issue of South Atlantic Quarterly (Summer 1997), this volume includes essays from some of the most prominent American, Australian, British, and French scholars and translators of Deleuze's writing. These essays, ranging from film, television, art, and literature to philosophy, psychoanalysis, geology, and cultural studies, reflect the broad interests of Deleuze himself. Providing both an introduction and critique of Deleuze, this volume will engage those readers interested in literary and cultural theory, philosophy, and the future of those areas of study in which Deleuze worked. Contributors: Ronald Bogue, Ian Buchanan, Andre Pierre Colombat, Tom Conley, Manuel DeLanda, Tessa Dwyer, Jerry Aline Flieger, Eugene Holland, Fredric Jameson, Jean-Clet Martin, John Mullarkey, D. N. Rodowick, Horst Ruthrof, and Charles J. Stivale.Create a review

The Best Dog Toothbrush
by Melodie AnneBrushing your dog's teeth regularly helps prevent tartar buildup, which would otherwise lead to loss of teeth later on in life. While a little dental scrub-down is important, you have to use the right type of brush topped with special doggie toothpaste. You might have to try a couple different types to find the best one to use on your dog.
The Finger Toothbrush
The finger toothbrush is a little plastic cap with bristles that slips right over your finger. For some dogs, it's a little less scary than a full-size brush. A finger toothbrush gives you greater control over exactly where the "bristles" reach and how much pressure you're using.
Stick Toothbrush
If your dog plays with your hand while using the finger toothbrush, swap to a regular stick-type dog toothbrush instead. This kind of dental tool looks a lot like a human toothbrush, but the angle is backwards and the bristles are much softer so you don't scrub off his enamel.
The Alternative
Some dogs just don't like toothbrushes. You can try simply wrapping your finger with a piece of clean gauze. This way, your pooch won't go running in the opposite direction when he sees that brush come out.
