The USASF Cheerleading Worlds Championship is held annually at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. Twelve divisions make up the elite championship for all star cheerleading for Level 5 and Level 6 athletes from around the globe.
*Ties are broken by deductions.
Donned in their plain black robes, the men and women of the U.S. Supreme Court spent an hour talking about stripes and zigzags on cheerleading uniforms. The case could have big repercussions for the fashion industry.
Varsity Brands, the country's largest maker of cheerleading uniforms, wants to keep its patterns of zigzags and stripes copyrighted. But, a smaller company argues Varsity has no right to copyright the designs' use on clothes.
The issue is tricky because clothes are normally difficult to copyright because their design is directly tied to their function, and federal law doesn't allow designs to be copyrighted unless they can stand alone.
Although Varsity's direct competitors tend to side with Star, the lawsuit has support from the fashion industry, which has very limited copyright protections. Currently, the style or cut of a garment is not eligible, but a pattern on it, such as the impression of a Mondrian painting on a renowned Yves Saint Laurent dress, can be protected.
However, Varsity Brands argues its stripes can be separated from the dress, and used on other clothes and objects.
Varsity has filed multiple lawsuits against competitors, claiming copyright violations. Its competitors say that Varsity claims protection for items that are ubiquitous and too generic to merit copyrights.
Her company, known for its customized outfits with a high ratio of crystals, has also received legal threats from Varsity. Ms. Noseff Aldridge said she was "actively ignoring" a cease-and-desist letter Varsity sent to her after a young customer, who was hired to promote Rebel Athletic apparel, posted photos to the company's Snapchat account that showed herself in a group photo with other girls wearing Varsity uniforms.
The case could have major repercussions for both the $300 million cheerleading apparel market, and the even larger fashion industry. In fact, the Council of Fashion Designers of America filed an amicus brief supporting Varsity's right to copyright the uniforms.
The National Advisory Board is democratically elected to support athletes and members by addressing emerging issues of broad potential impact and developing policies for the organization when needed.
Who is eligible to serve: All USASF Professional Members.
Membership: Members are nominated by their peers and voted in by the USASF membership.

A legend of the cheerleading world has passed away. Lawrence "Herkie" Herkimer is known today as the father of modern day cheerleading. He was born in 1925 and is credited for creating the Herkie cheerleading jump, which was named after him, and also received a patent for the pom-pon which he created alongside the spirit stick. Herkimer passed away on July 1, 2015.
Herkimer was a cheerleader at Southern Methodist University (SMU) and started his first cheerleading camp in 1948. Herkie is the founder of the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) which began with just 53 participants. The following year, enrollment in his camps had soared to over 350 participants. By the 1950s most high schools had created a cheerleading squad. Before long, he gave up his teaching career with Southern Methodist and took up cheerleading full time. His camps employed about 1,500 instructors teaching cheerleading across the U.S. along with his company – Cheerleader Supply Company that was started to supply cheerleading teams with uniforms and camp clothing.
The father of modern day cheerleading, Lawrence Herkimer, passed away on July 1, 2015.
By the 1960s, just about every high school and college in the country had cheerleaders. Professional cheerleading was introduced around this time under the National Football League and its leader was the Dallas Cowboys debuting during the 1972-73 season. They were first widely viewed at the 1976 Super Bowl X game, changing the face of cheerleading as a profession.
In 1986, Herkimer sold his cheerleading company for $20 million to the BSN Corporation. In June 1988, BSN Corporation sold NCA to the Prospect Group with Herkimer staying on to run the company which was bringing in approximately $50 million in revenue by 1990.
With the invention of color television and a need for a visually appealing device for cheerleading, Herkimer invented the pom-pon and was granted patent 3,560,313 from the US Patent and Trademark Office in 1971. Herkimer is also credited as the inventor of the spirit stick after awarding a spirited team at one of his camps a piece of a tree branch that would later become mass produced as the infamous Spirit Stick that teams and camps across the world know and are still awarded today.
NCA was later acquired by Varsity Spirit Corporation and became a part of the Varsity Family which was started by Jeff Webb, the founder of UCA, who was at the time a general manager for NCA.
The sport we know as cheerleading today was largely influenced by the efforts of Lawrence Herkimer. Without his ingenuity and influence in the industry, we wouldn't have the sport that we know of cheerleading today. Herkie was a true legend and pioneer of the sport of cheerleading.


Earlier this month saw the end of operations for a group known as the Shadow Brokers (who were responsible for the disclosure of critical security vulnerabilities in enterprise networking infrastructure). Their online auction of exploits remains open.
Among the exploits for sale is a possible zero day (defined) SMB (defined) exploit for Windows. With the potential use of this exploited predicted, the US-CERT issued a security advisory, which suggested disabling SMB version 1 and disabling the use of SMB version 2 at the network perimeter (preventing external access or internal traffic reaching outside of the corporate network). As previously noted on this blog, securing the use of SMB version 2 in this manner will also protect against the Redirect to SMB vulnerability.
These recommendations should better secure your corporate network against this exploit as well as future vulnerabilities.

YouTube HQ shooting leaves 3 people in hospital
Daniel Baguley
The YouTube Headquarters in San Bruno California. Photo by BrokenSphere via Wikimedia Commons
Terrified for their life, employees of the YouTube headquarters fled the scene as a gunman burst into the building. Around lunchtime on Tuesday in San Bruno, California, Nasim Aghdam a 39 year-old woman went into the premises armed with a hand gun.
When police responded to the alert, Aghdam was found dead with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gun wound. Ed Barberini, the San Bruno Police Chief, stated that three people have been transported to local hospitals and are being treated for gunshot related injuries.
Barberini mentioned that his department is working hard to identify the possible motive for the attack, as reports have suggested that the shooter had no personal connections with any of the employees at the building. With that in mind none of the victims knew or were connected to Aghdam in any way.
The police involved in responding to the incident reported that they found one victim out the front of the premises where they then found Aghdam deceased inside. Two other victims were also located by police that were at a nearby building. Barberini confirmed that the shooter was wielding a handgun and that there was no further threat at large towards the community.
Aghdam has been very vocal about her views on YouTube's platform on her own YouTube channel. Her videos are filled with criticism towards YouTube while still using the platform herself. She had mentioned several times that the website was ruining her life as her content had become demonetised. Aghdam's family called police to report her missing but had been told that she was south of San Bruno.
When the family realised she was travelling to the headquarters they warned the police force of what acts she might conduct. According to the family, Aghdam didn't know anyone personally at YouTube. A witness stated that she asked a male employee for their name and that she was wielding a 9mm handgun which was later confirmed to be true.
An expert on mass shootings, Jaclyn Schildkraut, mentioned that it is very uncommon to see a female carry out this sort of shooting. Out of off the mass shootings in the US from the past 2 decades, only 4 percent of them were carried out by women.
However, Tuesday's shooting may not be classified as a "mass" shooting as the term refers to when four or more people are shot or killed, excluding the shooter. Regardless of the classification of the tragedy, the event that unfolded showcases how the gun laws in America operate and how anyone can simply walk into a building threatening the lives of others.
Daniel translates his passion for the digital world into his work. He truly believes that we are at the forefront of technology and is eager to see what the future holds for the public and businesses alike.

We all love to be scared at times, and this adorable little boy is no different. When his mom read him Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, the little boy let out the longest and funniest little scream as the story reached its scary climax. His facial expression shows just how spooked he was. However, when his mom asks if he wants to hear more of the story, he bravely says, "Do it!" Like all scare addicts, he keeps coming back for more of the adrenaline-raising goodness.
If you never read Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark as a kid, let me show you exactly what was so scary. The stories in that book aren"t particularly scary, but the artwork originates from the deepest cesspools of Hell.

To help logistics professionals understand the case for automation, I've put together a hypothetical case example. Did you notice that the Kentucky stop has a relatively fast transit time and a single-day drop window? At this point we know that Kentucky must ride FTL due to time restrictions, and Cleveland has a short transit time and is over the LTL weight limit. Can we go further and add the Kentucky stop?

Alive Vitamins And Dead Vitamins: What You Should Know!
Some vitamins are extremely cheap while some are costly. Have you ever stopped to wonder why this is so? What is the basic difference? Alive vitamins are definitely different from synthetic, artificial and natural but dead vitamins.
Just like most other things, all vitamin supplements are not created equal. Unfortunately, a large part of the public is not aware that this is the case. As a result, they just demand for vitamins and get vitamins. However, the vitamins they get may not be beneficial to them if it is not alive vitamins.
You may have had a knock-off experience with some products. The product looks just like the real thing, but is of poor quality and ineffective. As a result, they are often far cheaper. This same happens in the vitamin market.
Some vitamins and multivitamins sold in stores have little to no nutritional value. Essentially, there are three types of vitamins. Depending on what kind of vitamin you choose, it will determine whether you are benefiting from all those pills you are swallowing.
The human body has a certain amount of nutrients it needs every day to maintain good health. Just like a truck runs on gas, we live of the food that we eat. The food is our source of energy and maintenance. However, when you give your body food that is poor in nutritional value, it's just like putting plain lead-free fuel in a jet engine. That's just not the octane number available to it to perform well.
To keep the body healthy we need give it all the nutrients it needs. Because the food we eat rarely meets these needs, it is a good idea to take a multivitamin supplement. But how do you know if your multi-vitamin actually delivers what your body needs or what it claims? This will largely depend on the type of vitamin that you consume.
There are three types of vitamins available to the consumer: synthetic, natural, and alive vitamins.
Synthetic vitamins results basically from the attempt of man to replicate in the laboratory what God has made available in the real world. Man is yet to master the replicating process. As a result such vitamins are not very useful nutritionally. They are relatively very cheap. That's why you see them with the low price tags in the local store or super market.
Unfortunately, they are more in demand because they are readily affordable. They are also much more profitable to the manufacturers and the distributors. The one person that fails to profit from this type of vitamin is the consumer.
A vitamin may be real and 100% natural and yet not nutritionally valuable. This is usually the case when the vitamins are dead. The nutrients are destroyed in the production process. This leads to cheaper production. Such vitamins have almost no nutritional value when packed.
Here is a simple illustration. If you squeeze some orange juice into a pan, then boil the water and pack it in a pill, you should have 100% natural vitamin C. But the process of boiling it killed the nutrients. In fact the nutrients start to die long before the water starts to evaporate.
Getting natural and alive vitamins largely depends on the production procedure and process. Compromised or cheap production technology or the desire to maximize profit is what usually leads to such vitamins.
Alive vitamins or live vitamins are what you need to keep your eyes open for. These are completely natural and are packaged without heating or killing of the nutrients. Live vitamins are the next best thing to eat after fresh fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, they are much more expensive to produce, so they cost far more than their counterparts.
It's important to keep in mind that although it may be tempting to deal with a cheaper vitamin, you simply waste your money if you do not have live vitamins.
Live vitamins are rarely sold in big supermarkets or drug stores. This is because synthetic and natural vitamins are sold at less than half of the price. And since the general public is unaware of the difference, they are attracted to the vitamins of low prices. The effect is that it will take a long while before they will sell the real, live vitamins.
To find the quality vitamins that your body needs, it takes looking out for it. But they are there! A large variety of alive vitamins are readily available at .
The best complete spectrum supplement that I recommend is Trevo. A great research went into making it a unique product that satisfies all the nutritional needs of the body. Trevo is the answer to the nutritional gap that exist in today's world where our food is nutrient depleted.

BENTON HARBOR —Activists working to keep a golf course out of Jean Klock Park are suing Benton Harbor and Harbor Shores for allegedly violating a 2004 court settlement forbidding further privatization of the city-owned park.
Carol Drake, vice president of Friends of Jean Klock Park, and Clellen Bury, a Benton Harbor resident, filed the suit last week in Berrien County Trial Court.
The suit alleges that Benton Harbor is violating a settlement it made in 2004 after Drake, Bury and four other citizens sued the city for selling four acres of Jean Klock Park for a residential development on Grand Boulevard.
they conveyed the park land to the city in 1917.
The plaintiffs and the city settled the suit in January 2004, allowing the land sale in exchange for an injunction against further privatization or conversion of Benton Harbor's only park on Lake Michigan.
These houses were built along Grand Boulevard after Benton Harbor sold part of Jean Klock Park to developers. A lawsuit contends leasing part of the park for use as a golf course violates a 2004 agreement that no more park land would be used for private development.
the 73-acre park for three holes of a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course. The course is the centerpiece of the $430 million Harbor Shores development planned to cover 530 acres in Benton Harbor, Benton Township and St. Joseph.
Benton Harbor City Manager Richard Marsh said city leaders and Harbor Shores developers do not believe the plaintiffs' argument has any merit.
"We believe that a public golf course is, indeed, acceptable as a public park use," said Marcus Robinson, a Harbor Shores trustee and president and CEO of Citizens for Progressive Change.
City leaders and developers have emphasized Benton Harbor is planning to lease – not sell – the land to Harbor Shores, so it will remain part of a city-owned park.
The city and Harbor Shores have agreed on an arrangement for the lease of the 22 acres for three holes of the course. The National Park Service has been reviewing the agreement since June 16 and, because the agency awarded the city a $50,000 grant for park improvements in the 1970s, has the power to allow or reject the lease.
Scott Howard, a Traverse City attorney representing Drake and Bury, said that if the NPS approves the lease agreement while the lawsuit is still pending, he will request a preliminary injunction against construction at the park until the suit is resolved.
the remainder of Jean Klock Park, pay Benton Harbor at least $35,000 per year for use of the 22 acres and add more than 38 acres of park land in other parts of the city.
Park preservationists have argued that the acreage offered by Harbor Shores does not match the monetary or recreational value of the land in Jean Klock Park.
The City Commission voted 6-2 to hire the law firm Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone to represent the city in the matter. Commissioner Juanita Henry and Mayor Wilce Cooke voted against the motion and Commissioner David Shaw was not at the meeting.
Henry said she voted against hiring the firm because she was not completely pleased with work it had done for the city in the past. Cooke did not explain his vote.
Marsh said Harbor Shores has agreed to pay the legal bills.
Several city commissioners expressed anger and frustration with the lawsuit and what they called a small minority opposing the Harbor Shores project.

Today we are working at the preparation for an underpinning job in Southeast Regina. we will be underpinning and lifting this entire house so we're excavating all the way around and it's quite a large job. The house itself but has quite a slope to the front of about six to seven inches so what we're going to do here is place piles then lift and level of structure to become uniformly level again.
This is inside the garage.
We've dug inside because this is an attached garbage to the house so you can see the foundation wall there.
In the video the excavating is completed and now we're going to be working that preparation for the drilling.
