Five native americans are asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit the Washington Redskins filed against them after the Group Successfully challenged the teams name saying the name was offensive and disparaging towards native americans.

Minnesota Takes Center Stage on the issue of d. C. s racist mascot. Reporter ads are playing on the radio through the weekend in minneapolis st. Paul. Back to the court case where five native americans want a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit the redskins filed after the Group Successfully challenged the teams name. The Trademark Office ruled the name offensive and canceled some of the trademark protections over the summer. Redskins attorney robert rascoff won the last appeal in a similar ruling in 1999. The judge ruled in favor of the team a decade ago on a technicality that the plaintiffs waited too long to file. Cancellation of our registrations would be dire for us and were the agrieved party with the right to appeal. Reporter the attorney for the native americans says the team should sue the patent and trade office, not his client. Our clients have no interest in the trademark and therefore theres no actual controversy between us and the team. In fact, the teams dispute is with the agency. What theyre trying to do we think is to have their cake and eat it, too. They want to say we still have an interest, but we shouldnt be a party anymore. It could be weeks or even next year before the judge rules on possible dismissal of the case. At wusa9 well be in minnesota for the protests. You can tune in for reports on saturday and sunday.

A lot of people have a lot to say about this video. People were following her down the street. I think she felt pretty uncomfortable. There are a lot of different takes on that video. Here is one way for halloween humbugs to keep kids from begging for candy. One woman in Beverly Hills wants to give out worms tonight instead of candy saying she wants to teach kids worms nourish the soul. Candy tastes good and thats disgusting. Its important to brush after they eat all that candy. I remember getting pennies in the yeah. They run out of candy. Do not give out any apple drinks because you might get toilet paper. I just remember as a kid there would always be that person that gives out popcorn. If you could see how much candy jan consumes during the course of the show. Fun times can turn into horror when you get lost in a corn maze. We take you to dixon, california, where lost adventurers apparently get desperate. Reporter but some who get turned around panic and dial 911 for help. Corn maze owner matt cooley says it happens almost every weekend. The sheriff then calls me and says hey, we got another one. 911. Whats your emergency . Please try to remain calm. Well get you help. We have somebody on the way. We dont laugh. Its not a comedy to us and our dispatchers have a very serious job. So the problem here is those 911 calls keep the cops from more pressing matters. Organizers say everybody will get out of the maze and theres no need to call police. I actually feel for people because my internal gps system needs to be recalibrated constantly and im one of those people who gets lost and i would be that person calling somebody for help.

In tonights health alert we turn back the clocks this weekend to get that extra hour of sleep, but a new Study Suggests Childrens Health might improve if they did not lose that extra hour of daylight. Researchers in britain who studied 23,000 kids ages 5 to 16 from Nine Countries concluded when it gets dark early, kids are less active. Every extra hour of daylight in the evening there was about a 5 increase in the childrens physical activity. I wish it would just stay the same so it would be lighter out so i could play a bit more. The extra daylight could mean two more minutes of running around each day. It doesnt sound like a whole lot, but researchers say children only get about a half hour of vigorous activity a day, so even just a little bit would help.
