  • Trademark Rights for Signature Touchdown Dances
    Trademark Rights for Signature Touchdown Dances Abstract Famous athletes are increasingly cultivating signature dances and celebratory moves, such as touchdown dances, as valuable and commercially viable elements of their personal brands. As these personal branding devices have become immediately recognizable and have begun being commercially exploited, athletes need to legally protect their signature dances. This paper argues that trademark law should protect the signature dances and moves of famous athletes, particularly the signature touchdown dances of NFL players. Because touchdown dances are devices capable of distinguishing one player from another, are non- functional, and are commercially used in NFL games, the dances should be registrable with the USPTO as trademarks for football services.

  • Family Comes First Breaks Down What Families Want Into Five Specific Features Representing a Transformed Justice System
    Comes ly Fi mi r a st F A Workbook to Transform the Justice System by Partnering With Families tice & T e h Jus Alli out anc r Y e F fo o n r Y g The Campaign for Youth Justice i ou a (CFYJ) is a national nonprofit organization t p working to end the practice of trying, sentencing, h m a and incarcerating youth in the adult criminal justice system. Ju Part of our work involves improving the juvenile justice system and s C t i e ensuring that youth and families have a voice in justice system reform c efforts. Through these efforts we have seen and heard first-hand the trouble e T that families face when dealing with the justice system and were approached by the Annie E. Casey Foundation to write this publication. CFYJ was started in 2005 by a family member whose child was being prosecuted in the adult system. Since our founding, we have placed a significant emphasis on making sure that youth and families who have been directly affected by the justice system are involved in our advocacy efforts. Becoming more family-focused means that everyone, including advocacy organizations such as ours, need to start working differently. We are responsive to families by making a concerted effort to meet the needs of families who call our offices looking for help, and we involve family members in discussions around our strategic goals and initiatives. One of the major components of our work is staffing and supporting the Alliance for Youth Justice, formerly known as the National Parent Caucus.

  • The Hothouse and Dynamic Equilibrium in the Works of Harold Pinter
    Ben Ferber The Hothouse and Dynamic Equilibrium in the Works of Harold Pinter I have no doubt that history will recognize Harold Pinter as one of the most influential dramatists of all time, a perennial inspiration for the way we look at modern theater. If other playwrights use characters and plots to put life under a microscope for audiences, Pinter hands them a kaleidoscope and says, “Have at it.” He crafts multifaceted plays that speak to the depth of his reality and teases and threatens his audience with dangerous truths. In No Man’s Land, Pinter has Hirst attack Spooner, who may or may not be his old friend: “This is outrageous! Who are you? What are you doing in my house?”1 Hirst then launches into a monologue beginning: “I might even show you my photograph album. You might even see a face in it which might remind you of your own, of what you once were.”2 Pinter never fully resolves Spooner’s identity, but the mens’ actions towards each other are perfectly clear: with exacting language and wit, Pinter has constructed a magnificent struggle between the two for power and identity. In 1958, early in his career, Pinter wrote The Hothouse, an incredibly funny play based on a traumatic personal experience as a lab rat at London’s Maudsley Hospital, proudly founded as a modern psychiatric institution, rather than an asylum. The story of The Hothouse, set in a mental hospital of some sort, is centered around the death of one patient, “6457,” and the unexplained pregnancy of another, “6459.” Details around both incidents are very murky, but varying amounts of culpability for both seem to fall on the institution’s leader, Roote, and his second-in- command, Gibbs.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced info the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on untii complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
