A local Hooters restaurant will be the target of a lawsuit on the grounds that it discriminated against a woman on the basis of her weight. The woman is not overweight or obese by any means. Neither is she super skinny. She says when she started work she was heavier than when the problems arose. The judge will allow the lawsuit to go on despite a signed arbitration agreement. Michigan is one of a few (the only??) state(s) to prohibit discrimination based on height or weight.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
