John G. Roberts, Jr.
Cases Argued
- 1 of 3
- ››
On September 29, 2005, John G. Roberts, Jr. was confirmed by the United States Senate as the seventeenth Chief Justice of the United States. Hours later he was sworn into office by Justice John Paul Stevens (the longest-serving member of the Court). His swearing-in marked the first addition to the Court in more than 11 years - the longest stretch without a new member since 1823. And at 50 years old, Roberts became the youngest Chief Justice since John Marshall took the bench in 1801 at the age of 45. This combination of factors - the age of the other Justices and Roberts' relative youth - suggests the potential for substantial influence on the Court for many years to come.
Roberts grew up in Long Beach, Indiana, where his father worked as an executive for Bethlehem Steel. In high school, he was captain of the varsity football team and also wrestled, sang in the choir, co-edited the student newspaper, took part in drama productions, and served on the student council Executive Committee. These activities, combined with a strong academic record, earned him a spot at Harvard University, where he majored in history and distinguished himself academically, graduating a year early with highest honors. During the summers he worked at a steel mill back in Indiana to help pay his tuition.
After graduation, Roberts moved on to Harvard Law School, where he worked as managing editor of the Harvard Law Review. Again he distinguished himself academically, graduating with high honors and catching the eye of Judge Henry Friendly of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Friendly, one of the most widely respected appellate court judges in the country, hired Roberts as his law clerk. At the end of a year, Roberts moved on to another clerkship, this one to then-Justice William H. Rehnquist of the U.S. Supreme Court (the man whom he eventually replaced as Chief Justice). When he finished his Supreme Court clerkship in 1981, he was hired by the Reagan administration, first as a special assistant to the U.S. Attorney General and then as Associate Counsel to the President.
After a two-year hiatus from government service between 1986-1988, Roberts returned to a Republican administration to take the post of Deputy Solicitor General. In this capacity he argued dozens of cases before the Supreme Court on behalf of the federal government, winning well over half of them. When Democrat Bill Clinton won the 1992 Presidential election, Roberts returned to private practice. He became a partner at Hogan and Hartson, a prestigious Washington, D.C. firm, where he ran the appellate division and continued to argue cases before the Supreme Court.
Roberts worked for Hogan and Hartson for the next decade, earning a yearly salary of more than $1 million. Then, in 2001, President George W. Bush nominated him to be a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, widely considered the most important intermediate appellate court in the country. Roberts' initial nomination was never voted on by the Democrat-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee and was therefore never addressed by the full Senate. In 2003, President Bush renominated Roberts in a Republican-controlled Senate; he was confirmed by a voice vote with little opposition.
During his time on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, Roberts wrote 49 opinions. Only two of his decisions were not unanimous, and he only dissented from other judges' opinions three times. According to University of Chicago Law Professor Cass Sunstein, his circuit court opinions suggest that he is a "judicial minimalist," emphasizing respect for precedent rather than a broader, more controversial approach like originalism.
Little more can be discerned about Roberts' judicial outlook from his circuit court decisions or from his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which some Senators and pundits complained was overly evasive. What can be gathered about his likely impact on the Court, however, is the administrative effect he is likely to have. Both during his testimony and in comments made before his nomination, Roberts suggested that he would like to see the Court reverse the trend of decreasing its docket size. While Roberts will have no more actual say in deciding to hear cases than any of the other justices - four justices have to agree to hear a case before it is placed on the Court's docket - he will nevertheless be able to exert strong influence on other justices from his position as Chief Justice. While this change would not be particularly glamorous or get much media attention, it could lead to a significant strengthening of the Supreme Court's role in interpreting and applying some of the more mundane aspects of American law. In the end, it may help to reshape the Court in Chief Justice Roberts' image: deliberate and well-reasoned, with less emphasis on hot-button issues than the general public has come to expect.

I have heard that the SABR volatility model was not good at pricing a constant maturity swap (CMS). How is that?

The SABR model has an overly fat right tail. If you do the CMS replication using cash-settled swaptions you find that you need ridiculously high strikes.

text: I am actually hoping that Car wins the toss as picking 8th or 9th is no big difference to ourselves except in a trade-up scenario. It is more important in the fact that the flip also affects the other rounds, esp. the 2nd round. In the 2nd round, the team that wins the flip actually picks after the loser of the flip and after the Bills. If we win the flip and fall behind the Bills in the 2nd, we could lose out on a chance at Fleener or another field stretching TE as the Bills need one as well. By losing the flip we'd pick 9th and then ahead of Car and Buffalo in the 2nd.

With the Jets one game away from a wildcard spot and a soft schedule to follow, I like the move.
Outside of bringing back the guy who called the Jets decision makers idiots, I think it is a good move. What do they have to lose? I would be surprised if he makes an impact this season with his injury and having to learn Tony's offense, but if he can get healthy and show a little bit of that connection he had with Mark a few years ago, it would be a good move for next year.

Recipe by STARFLOWER
"Tastes good for breakfast, just like French toast. It's easy to make too! Serve warm with maple syrup on top."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

5 cups
bread cubes
1 1/2 cups
1/4 cup
white sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 tablespoon
margarine, softened
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
5 stars after several changes. Melted 1/4 cup butter in bottom of the pan 1st. Added 1/3 cup bisquick to the egg/milk mixture. Used homemade white bread (no crust) and mixed it into the egg mixture. Then poured the mixture over the melted butter. Baked at 400 for 20-25 minutes. Served it topped w/ syrup and homemade sweetened whipped cream.
One last thing, I dont appreciate the person who (just a few comments down) blasted people for commenting on ways in which they had to or wanted to change the recipe. FYI: some people dont always have all the exact ingredients on hand and have to improvise or sometimes they just change things because they feel like it; Nothing wrong with that! By stating these improvisations, they are helping other people who don't have all the exact ingredients on hand or helping the people who don't always want to follow recipes to the T. Once again, nothing wrong w/ that!
very good, a different way to make french toast

With some minor tweaking, I made this a "keeper". Deleted the margarine, added 1 1/2 cups more bread, 1/4 c brown sugar, 3 oz cream cheese and 1/4 c pankcake syrup. Also, doubled the cinnamon and added about 1 t nutmeg. Mix the cream cheese with the eggs, one at a time. Add in the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT the bread & mix well. Then stir in the bread and pour the mixture into a prepared 9X15 pan and let sit for about 15 minutes. (I used white sandwhich bread, lightly toasted. If you're using a hard, dry bread, overnight would be best.) Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. This came out perfect and my boys' finicky taste buds LOVED it! Additionally, I've made this with cinnamon raisin bread. Ooohh, YUM! A big hit at church!
It not out of the oven yet but it smells and looks wonderful!
For the cook who doesn't like people experimenting........honey, that is the heart and soul of cooking! I like the reviews because I can see what works and what doesn't and exchange ideas with other cooks.
For the people who got soggy bread, try using larger chunks of bread and maybe a shallower pan like a large cookie sheet with sides.
What I did: eyeballed the eggs and milk, yep I like to live dangeriously! Mixed up the custard in a measuring cup using 3 eggs to start and eyeballing the milk and sugar, used cinnamon and nutmeg, vanilla and a shot of brandy for extra flavor. Poured the custard over the bread in a bowl and mixed it with my hands to see how the dry/wet ratio was. Needed more wet so mixed another egg with a little milk and there you go! Placed it in a single layer in a greased pan, sprinkled on more sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and drizzled with melted butter.
This recipe is so versitle you could use egg nog in place of the milk for holidays or add cubes of cream cheese and or strawberry preserves for a stuffed french toast, even adding a little orange peel would change the flavor. Be creative, have fun!
haha! Now children please... I have been using this site for many years. I joined today because this discussion is so funny. Haven't made this recipe yet. May, may not. Looks like a 5 star to me though. Ok here are the facts: Reviewing a recipe which you have changed in not reviewing the recipe... I seldom follow a recipe exactly just because its the way I am. I like to play. The only way to review a recipe is to make it as its described and then rate it. If you change things the next time then say Its rated () as is but... I found it much better when I made it with "these changes". Or add a custom version to the custom version tab (should be obvious). Don't make changes and rate the recipe as you changed it because then its not the recipe we are evaluating and it isnt helpful to anyone and its then just an ego trip you are on. There is nothing wrong with suggesting alternatives that you like but its not fair to any of us if you rate anything other than the original... Sorry thats just the honest facts people. I do love to read about the alternatives don't get me wrong. I just don't like when a cook reviews the recipe based on those changes. By all means HAVE FUN and BE CREATIVE!!!! Haha..
I made this on Christmas eve day and brought it to my family's brunch on Christmas. So easy, so delicious, this was a favorite of everyone! All my sisters wanted the recipe. Next year I'll make a double batch. This will be served at our Christmas brunch every year from now on!
This was really good, and unlike other reviewers; we didn't have a problem with the middle of the casserole being goopy (although I did bake it for longer than suggested; 60 minutes). I changed the recipe only slightly, instead of adding 1 1/2 cups of milk, I added 1/2 cup of egg nog, about 1/4 cup of half and half cream (just to finish up what I had on hand), and topped it up with milk to equal 1 1/2 cups. The egg nog gave this dish an excellent flavour, next time I will add 1 cup of egg nog and the rest milk or cream.
Pretty good. I had half a loaf of bread that was just about to go stale so I thought I'd give this a try. I sprayed the bottom of my pan with Pam for baking and left out the margarine. I added some nutmeg and a little more vanilla. This took over an hour to bake. But, even though it was a little mushy when I first cut it, I let it sit for about fifteen minutes (not intentional) and it firmed right up. I sprinkled a little confectioners sugar on top and served it with butter and maple syrup. It was even better the next day out of the microwave!

This morning we arrived at the Nashville International Airport to take off for Raleigh, N.C. – where the Nashville-based International Bluegrass Music Association is holding its annual "World of Bluegrass" events this week.
This year marks the first time the IBMA has held the event – which includes the International Bluegrass Music Awards – outside of Nashville since 2005, and "World of Bluegrass" will remain in Raleigh through 2015.
I – along with Tennessean photographer Sam Simpkins – will find out how the move has been, as we cover the week's events live through Friday. Today, we'll check out the IBMA's annual business conference at the city's convention center, and that includes a slew of daytime music showcases. Later tonight, bluegrass groups will take over many of downtown Raleigh's music venues in for the nightly "Bluegrass Ramble."
Thursday is the association's annual International Bluegrass Music Awards, and Friday-Saturday is the Wide Open Bluegrass Festival.
Stay tuned here and follow us @TNMusicNews on Twitter and Facebook. We'lll check in from Raleigh soon!

The Landon School prevailed in a lawsuit on Thursday in which a former employee charged the school with wrongful termination.
Timothy Harrison had sued the Landon School in Bethesda for $2 million, claiming he was fired because of allegations he made of discriminatory practices by two supervisors against other school laborers and staff.
On Aug. 22, less than two hours after they began their deliberations, a jury in Montgomery County Circuit Court decided that the charges, which had been the basis of the lawsuit, were unfounded.
The jury ruled in favor of the Landon School in that suit and also ruled in favor of Landon's counterclaims that Harrison had breached his contract and loyalty to the school during his employment there. Harrison had been the school's chief finance and operations officer.
"The verdict speaks very loudly, and shows the Landon School acted appropriately and the truth prevailed," said Tom McCally, Landon's attorney, in an interview after the verdict was announced Thursday.
"It demonstrates Mr. Harrison's allegations were baseless and that Landon didn't offer him another contract because of his poor performance," McCally said.
Adam Augustine Carter, Harrison's attorney, declined to be interviewed by The Gazette Thursday.
Kipp Lanham, Carter's publicist, issued this statement in Carter's name: "Mr. Harrison believes in the jury system, and the jury has spoken. Mr. Harrison hopes that his courageous stand will make Landon a better school and workplace."

I have written (and self-edited) a book, and need to figure out how to expose it to the "right" agents. I'm a little overwhelmed (and I'm sure I'm not the first), but I do think it is a unique story that at least deserves a "go" and a few others (that are not friends and family, but friends of friends) have agreed. How can I find an agent?

So much has been a surprise to Don Balcom of Hollywood during the past 20 years.
He didn't expect to be diagnosed with a disease that is slowly stealing his eyesight. He didn't expect to be discharged from the Navy due to medical disability, upending his career plans.
Those were both difficult surprises.
But Balcom also didn't expect to become enthralled with the sport of running. And when he began running, he didn't expect to it to take him to international competition. Now Balcom, 39, dreams of participating in the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Those were the good surprises.
"It would be a pretty awesome thing for St. Mary's County," said Christina Bishop, administrator of Paralympic Sport-Southern Maryland, which assists athletes like Balcom in finding grant funding, transportation, sponsors and coaching. Balcom also sits on the advisory board for Paralympic Sport-Southern Maryland.
Bishop said she believes that Balcom has the ability and drive to make it to Rio. "He's so fast," she said.
Sitting in his living room earlier this month, Balcom held his two hands together, forming a circle. He stretched his arms out and looked through the circle. "That's about how much I can see. I have about 10 degrees of vision," he said. A person with normal vision has approximately 160 degrees of vision, said Dr. Christine McKimmie, an optometrist in California.
Balcom is legally blind. He can't drive. But, man ... can he run.
Balcom grew up in a small town in upstate New York. He was the middle of five boys in the family, and he was the most athletic of the bunch. "I played many sports. Soccer was my favorite," he said. He also played tennis, basketball, ice hockey, football and volleyball.
He was never a star athlete, he said, but he was "better than average." He was also never interested in running track. In fact, it was a sport that made no sense to him. He said he remembers playing soccer in high school and seeing the track athletes out doing their laps. "I remember thinking, 'Those people are nuts. Why would you run just to run?'" he said.
After high school, Balcom attended Clarkson University, where he majored in mechanical engineering. His long-term plan was to join the Navy and make the military his career. Right on track, at the end of his sophomore year, he joined the U.S. Navy Nuclear Propulsion Program, which set him course to become a nuclear propulsion officer on a Navy submarine. After graduating with his degree, he reported to Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida.
It was there that Balcom was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary, progressive disease that is causing him to gradually lose his eyesight. In Balcom's case, it has resulted in the tunnel vision he described. "I could go completely blind," he said. "It's a very slow degeneration."
Balcom was discharged from the Navy and left to figure out what to do next. He was 21. He found work as an engineer. He played adult soccer and coached and refereed youth soccer — "insert joke about the blind ref here," he said.
When he was 31, his eyesight had deteriorated to the point he was declared legally blind. He couldn't drive anymore. "That was the big switch," Balcom said. That's when his challenges seemed to mount.
He trips over things. People offer to shake his hand, and he doesn't see it. Now married and with two young children — Austin, who will be 7, and Alaina, who will be 2 this fall — he trips over his children if they are outside of his peripheral vision, and has knocked his son over by accident. His son has taken to making the "beep, beep, beep" sound of a truck backing up when his father is near, to alert his dad to his presence.
The family moved to St. Mary's County in 2009 and Balcom works in Solomons in a job connected to NAVAIR at Patuxent River Naval Air Station.
In the fall of 2011, Balcom was a dad with a young family, and he'd been concentrating mostly on work. He'd put on a few pounds, he said. One day, he watched on television the Ironman Triathlon World Championship held in Hawaii. He was inspired.
"That would be cool ... to run a triathlon," he said he remembers thinking.
So, he started training. He started running on a treadmill at his home.
There are those, even those very close to Balcom, who question the wisdom of propelling yourself forward as fast as you can, when you can hardly see what is coming next. "I think he's crazy," his wife, Andrea, said. "I think it's too dangerous. It just takes one fall to break something."
His son has a different opinion. "I think it's excellent," Austin said.
Running clicked with Balcom. He got off the treadmill and started entering races, big races — the Hood to Coast Relay in Portland, Ore., the Navy-Air Force 5-Miler in Washington, D.C., and the Bataan Memorial Death March in New Mexico, along with multiple local races. And he was placing high in those races right from the start. He has qualified to compete in the next Boston Marathon.
He loves the competition. He loves keeping track of the numbers and working to improve his times. "I kinda got hooked," he said.
Some races will allow runners with disabilities to start early (with that early start tabulated into their final time). In some races, Balcom uses a guide — a person hired to run with him and serve as an extra pair of eyes, pointing out potential hazards on the ground and around them. It can be a challenge to find someone who is capable of keeping up and is willing to travel to some of Balcom's far-flung races. For one of his races, he had a grant to pay for a guide and after sending out a request nationwide, only two potential guides responded.
The timing of Balcom's entry into competitive sports was fortuitous for the Paralympic Sport Club-Southern Maryland. The club formed at the end of 2011, right about when Balcom saw that Ironman triathlon that so inspired him. Balcom is "raising awareness of the club's existence and what kinds of things the club can provide for future athletes," Bishop said. "He's leading the way," Bishop said, as Balcom learns what it takes to train for and compete at an international competition. The club is learning right along with him.
Balcom said 95 percent of his training is on a treadmill at his home. He gets up around 3 a.m. to train before work. He also runs in his neighborhood, where he's mapped out a safe course, knowing where every step down in the sidewalk is, every possible impediment. "I tell you, a manhole cover can take you out pretty quick," he said. "You eat the pavement a couple of times, you learn to move."
He described one fall he took when he first started running in the neighborhood, where he skinned both knees and sliced the skin off his wrist down to the bone. He got up and kept running, he said.
While Paralympic Sport-Southern Maryland is looking for a local running coach who could also assist Balcom as a guide in races, Balcom has been working with a coach long distance for the last four months.
"We have talked on the phone, but most of the communication is through email," Andrew Lemoncello of Flagstaff, Ariz., an assistant coach at McMillan Running Co. and a professional runner himself, wrote in an email. "I get reports from Don on how he's doing in the workouts, and I can see his online training program to see what paces he's been running."
Lemoncello has been coaching for about 10 years and has coached a national champion and many athletes from around the world. But Balcom is his first athlete with a disability. "It's something I would like to do more of as I have a disabled child of my own," Lemoncello said.
As Lemoncello works to get Balcom ready for his next big race, the Marine Corps Marathon at the end of October, he is focusing on getting Balcom in the best shape possible, he said.
Long term, Lemoncello is also working to get Balcom to peak at the right time, with an eye for the Paralympics in September 2016, a couple of weeks after the Olympic games in Rio. "He's making great progress ... I can see him making huge advancements over the next few years ... I think he has a great chance of making it," Lemoncello said.
At this point, Balcom isn't sure which event he is aiming for at the Paralympics, but right now he is thinking the marathon. "I'm excited and nervous about what the next couple of years will bring," he said.

In this guest blog, ASPCA Director of Disaster Response Dick Green tells us what it's like to be a disaster responder during National Preparedness Month. He also shares his tips for disaster preparedness.
September is National Preparedness Month, and it has certainly lived up to its name! September began just after Hurricane Isaac made landfall in Louisiana. Isaac not only "landed" seven years to the day after Hurricane Katrina but took a very similar path. Not nearly the size of Katrina, Isaac still wreaked havoc as a Category I storm that just sat and spun off the coast, bringing more than 20 inches of rain to New Orleans and causing extensive flooding in St. John and Plaquemines parishes.
The Louisiana State Animal Response Team (LSART) asked us to help prepare for the storm and be ready to assist with assessment and rescue. Working in conjunction with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, LSART and the ASPCA provided sheltering support, evacuation, and water and land rescue throughout the impacted areas.
Following Isaac, three members of the Field Investigations and Response Team presented at the National Animal Control Association's Disaster Academy. My presentation, "Trends in Disasters," showed that disasters are increasing worldwide and that, unfortunately, the U.S. is a hotbed—consistently number one or two each year in terms of frequency and impact.
Next, six ASPCA staffers delivered talks at the National Alliance of State Animal and Agricultural Emergency Programs Summit. I provided a cost analysis for emergency animal sheltering. The take-home message was that shelters that house both people and their pets are the only way to go. My team also conducted nearly 40 interviews throughout the country over the last couple of days, sharing these key tips:
1. Have a Plan. That plan needs to be more that just evacuating with your animals. We hope everyone will do that! Your "all-family" plan needs to include how you will transport your animals, possible routes you will take and your destination/sheltering options. Practice that plan at least yearly and share it with your family and friends.
2. Build a Kit. Don't forget a photo of your pet, medical records, vaccination records, and any special food or prescriptions.
3. Stay Informed. Keep an eye on the weather, follow the projected storm path and don't get caught unprepared. Staying informed also means knowing which shelters house both people and pets, monitoring possible road closures and having alternate travel plans.
4. Know your Neighbors. Now is a great time to have a block party. Develop a telephone tree and determine who is home when. If a disaster occurs when you are at work, your neighbor may be the only one able to reach your pets.
5. Vaccinate and Microchip your Pets. If you are ever required to shelter your pets, you will want them protected against disease. And the single most important piece of advice we can offer is to microchip your pets. It is truly their ticket home. And remember to update your contact information if it changes.

Congratulations, New Jersey—you've just become the latest state to ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption!
Just shy of his final deadline, Governor Chris Christie signed into law A.2023/S.1976, which is an amazing piece of legislation: Not only does it prevent a horse slaughter plant from opening in the Garden State, it also prohibits the use of state roads to transport live horses intended for slaughter elsewhere!
New Jersey's highways are a major East Coast artery up to Canada (and Canadian slaughterhouses). Now that horse slaughterers can't use them, their lives just became more difficult—and we have to admit, we're pretty happy about that.
Until we succeed in passing a federal law banning both U.S. horse slaughter and the transport of slaughter-bound horses across our borders, it is vital that individual states continue to stand against this horrific practice by passing their own bans. So thank you, New Jersey animal advocates, for fighting until the end to make sure this bill became law! Please take a moment to thank Governor Christie for approving the bill.
Want to help pass strong laws to protect horses from slaughter? Stay informed and make your voice heard as a member of the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade. Sign up for ASPCA Advocacy emails today.
Tennessee Walking Horses desperately need your help. These majestic and gentle-natured creatures are a breed of horse famous for their distinctive, smooth, high-stepping walk. Sadly, a cruel and illegal procedure called "soring" is all too frequently used to elicit an exaggerated movement, called the "big lick," in order to win prizes at horse shows.
Soring is the gruesome practice of using chemicals and painful devices to injure a horse's front limbs, making any contact with the ground so painful that the horse quickly jerks up his legs to relieve the pressure. Soring causes such intense pain that its victims often cannot stand for several days afterward.
Although soring was banned nationwide in 1970, inadequate legal penalties and lax enforcement have allowed this cruel practice to continue. A new bill, H.R. 6388, will address these inadequacies by amending the federal Horse Protection Act and improving protections for horses from soring, and we need your help in building support for this critical legislation!
What You Can Do
Please contact your U.S. representative and urge him/her to cosponsor H.R. 6388 and support strong amendments to the Horse Protection Act to better protect horses from soring.
Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center online right now to contact your U.S. representative in Washington, D.C. There are only a few working days left in this Congress, so time is of the essence!
After losing her beloved cat, Cookie, Wilma Trani's friends suggested she visit the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City. She shared the following story with us about her first trip to the Adoption Center, and her subsequent adoption of brother and sister kittens, Milo and Mia.
My love and obsession for cats started 20 years ago. I have cared for a total of five cats, and I adopted all of them from shelters—I never have any regrets.
We recently lost our most precious, spoiled and much-loved cat of ten years, Cookie, to a serious illness, leaving us with empty hearts and an empty home. We longed for the company of another cat, but wanted to look around.
My friends adopted their cat at the ASPCA Adoption Center about two years ago, and they had a positive experience and suggested we visit. So,on a beautiful day in April, my daughter and I decided to take our first trip to the ASPCA to "just look" at the cats—who were we kidding?
We walked into the building and saw content cats in a beautiful and stimulating environment and immediately knew we were not there to just look but to adopt.
After filling out the paperwork, a pleasant woman escorted us to a nice, clean room full of cats and, immediately, we saw two adorable three-month-old kittens—a brother and sister pair. It was love at first sight!
Two hours later and a phone call to my understanding and loving husband, we walked out with two cute additions to our family—Milo and Mia.
They are funny, adorable, mischievous, loving, naughty and spoiled. We love them to pieces, and they are adjusting well to their new home and family. Our hearts and home are no longer empty!

Women's tennis rolls past USC Upstate, 6-1
Sunday, March 20, 2011
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (Mar. 19, 2011) - Following an impressive victory over Campbell to start the weekend, the ETSU women's tennis team closed out the weekend with a 6-1 victory over USC Upstate, Saturday afternoon at the Upstate Tennis Complex.
"It is great to come away with a solid weekend on the courts," said ETSU Assistant Coach Travis Sandlant. "We have another test next weekend and I am hoping we can respond strong like we did this weekend."
The Bucs got off to a strong start in doubles play by taking all three matches to win the doubles point.

Finally, Diana Navrostska (Lviv, Ukraine) and Andra Voinea (Brasov, Romania) shut out Catherine Estupinan and Samantha Knopsnyder, 8-0.
The Bucs kept rolling into singles play as they took five of the six singles matches on the afternoon. Holtzhausen defeated Tonani, 6-0, 6-2, at the No. 1 position. At No. 3, Wieliczko knocked off Martinez, 6-0, 6-4.
Kedzo continues to play well as she rolled past Rojas, 6-1, 6-2, at the No. 4 position. Voinea, playing in the No. 5 position today, quickly defeated Estupinan, 6-0, 6-2. Finally, Navrostska shut out Knopsnyder, 6-0, 6-0, at the No. 6 position.

Breast pain (mastalgia) — a common complaint among women — can include breast tenderness, sharp burning pain or tightness in your breast tissue. The pain may be constant or it may occur only occasionally.
Breast pain can range from mild to severe. It can affect you just a few days a month, for instance just before your period, or can last for seven days or more each month. Breast pain may affect you just before your period or it may continue throughout the menstrual cycle. Postmenopausal women sometimes have breast pain, but breast pain is more common in younger, premenopausal women and perimenopausal women.
Most times, breast pain signals a noncancerous (benign) breast condition and rarely indicates breast cancer. Still, unexplained breast pain that doesn't go away after one or two menstrual cycles or that persists after menopause and occurs in one specific area of your breast needs to be evaluated by your doctor.
Most cases of breast pain are classified as either cyclic or noncyclic. Each type of breast pain has distinct characteristics.
Sometimes, it's not possible to identify the exact cause of breast pain. Contributing factors may include one or more of the following:
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor, a general practitioner or other care provider. In some cases, when you call to set up an appointment, you may be referred immediately to a breast health specialist.
The initial evaluation of your breast pain focuses on your medical history. You'll discuss with your doctor the location of the breast pain, its relation to your menstrual cycle and any other relevant breast history that might explain the cause of your pain. To prepare for this discussion:
For breast pain, basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor may ask you questions such as:
Your doctor may also assess your personal risk of breast cancer, based on factors such as your age, family medical history and prior history of precancerous breast lesions.
Tests to evaluate your condition may include:
For many women, breast pain resolves on its own over time. You may not need any treatment.
If you do require treatment, your doctor might recommend that you:
Even though there is little research to show the effectiveness of these self-care remedies, some may be worth a try:
Vitamins and dietary supplements may lessen breast pain symptoms and severity for some women. Ask your doctor if one of these might help you — and ask about doses and any possible side effects:
If you try a supplement for breast pain, stop taking it if you don't notice any improvement in your breast pain after a few months.

Luckily for me i'm a fan of both guys.. aside from Arlovski getting embarrased it was a good night of fights for me.
yea brown/faber was a great fight...happy mike got it done
which judge had it 48-47, he needs to be fired lol. I had it 50-45 Brown. 1st round was close. Unfortunate Urijah hurt his hand though, fight was good coulda been better. I don't know how you could argue Faber won two rounds, maybe one but w/e.
Faber's broken hand he fought through. No doubt he's one tough mutha.

"In the Two we experience the very essence of number more intensely than in other numbers, that essence being to bind many together into one, to equate plurality and unity. Our mind divides the world into heaven and earth, day and night, light and darkness, right and left, man and woman, I and you—and the more strongly we sense the separation between these poles, whatever they may be, the more powerfully do we also sense their unity."
–Karl Menninger (1893-1990, American psychiatrist)
"The opposite is beneficial; from things that differ comes the fairest attunement; all things are born through strife."
–Heraclitus (c. 540-c. 480 BC, Greek philosopher)
It is my belief that we are each a marrying of two. In actuality, it is likely more complex than this, but I have the thought that we are all essentially dichotomies. We each possess opposite but equal parts. Some halves are hidden (but no less powerful), some halves push and pull against each other, some halves harmonize. Sometimes the two selves quarrel, and sometimes the two selves complement each other. And sometimes maybe those halves possess their own halves.
It's easy to identify some dichotomies in ourselves: we all tend to recognize that we can have both male and female attributes, or attributes that we might associate with "good" or "bad". But we also are far more subtle and complex than that, especially in a dream state where lines between consciousness and unconsciousness can blur and become indistinct.
In some facets of or lives, the twin-ness is acceptable, and integration is not necessary, but at other times, it's important to reconcile and integrate the two. Sometimes, it's only important to recognize the dichotomy. In the middle, after the integration, what we may find is a neutrality.

These prints reference the incorporeal and the corporeal; our connectedness and our disconnectedness; our mortal natures vs. the immortal; the earthly and the unearthly.
Being primarily a 3D artist, when I do work two-dimensionally, I prefer methods that are very tactile. Pulling monotypes is a way for me to do that. Painting on the glass, pressing it to paper, and then altering the print and adding to it, also offers me a spontaneity I can't always achieve when working 3-dimensionally. And, of course, adding actual 3-dimensional elements satisfies my inability to let a 2D surface remain a strict 2D surface.

This work deals with concepts of discombobulation, confusion, being out of sorts or not in harmony with events and surroundings-- Ideas of escape from an overworked mind and obsessive thinking, and of being able to reorganize the body in hopes of forming a new reality for one's self. The new "reality" which is created is, however, a sort of surreal dream state, in which nothing completely feels right or makes sense--where action is redundant and blind.

According to fire ecology, the study of fire and its relationship to living organisms, fire is a necessity for propagation. Certain plant life has evolved to depend on fire as a means to clear out the old and dying so new life can take hold. Seeds are split open by the heat, and the ground is fertile with ash.Trial by Fire explores themes of devastation followed by the cycle of rebirth. Referenced are eggs, seeds and cast away skins, all signs that the metamorphosis has begun. Salt, also attributed with purifying and preservation affects suspends the moment of purity in time, holding the cycle's completion in stasis.The majority of the work created for Trial by Fire, utilizes fire in some way in its fabrication. Clay must be exposed to extreme heat to become vitreous. Furthermore, clay work has been stained with fire and smoke in the smoke-firing process. Paper and wood have been blistered and scorched with fire.

In this body of work, I'm exploring themes of a personal yet universal nature, using my created vocabulary of object symbols. The major themes in this work are dysfunction and repetition; or more specifically, the dysfunctional nature of repetition—the well-worn rut in the brain that leads to certain compulsions, negative thinking, and the otherwise fruitless over-workings of the mind. While specific themes are personal in nature, I believe one can also see these dynamics play out on the larger familial and societal scale.

Artista Vista: Install It 3-- Old Skin
Old Skin represents the breaking free of individual oppressive concepts, of breaking out of old habits. Like burned skins we can peel away or seeds that break open when exposed to heat or fire, there is new growth under and within. This work is a continuation of ideas explored in another body of work, Trial by Fire. Trial by Fire investigated themes of adversity and destruction. These figures are post adversity, post destruction. A new life is beginning, free from obstruction, but we're seeing the process as it begins as the figures are just breaking free of their outmoded skins.

Ghost Trees, Artista Vista 2012: Install It
Once, where this city now stands, there was a lush natural environment—a primal landscape of trees, grasses, weeds. Animals roamed, climbed and burrowed. The human animal eventually moved in and now we have this city. Concrete covers most of the bones of a less structured life. Here and there, we see evidence of this life working to reclaim its original hold on this land.This alley way is an example of the struggle to keep hold of this spot of earth—to keep it tamed, to keep tucking it back under the layers of brick and pavement. When I walked through it for the first time, I was struck first by the unruly and beautifully green grass shooting out of clusters, not caring one bit for the broken glass and other litter of city life. I noticed the sizable tree stumps left over here, and tried to picture in my mind this little approximation, this little ghost of a previous incarnation of this spot of earth.These ghost trees are meant to remind us of the past, but also of what's waiting just under the surface, to take hold again as soon as our diligence falters and our backs are turned. These ghost trees are cast from the trunks of actual trees, using a process of layered paper and adhesive.

You Are Here- Artista Vista: Install It
The individual's path in itself is an illusion, a construct of our minds—a way to label our experiences. Through linear thought and time we perceive a series of moments as a life's trajectory, nearing a destination of sorts, possibly many throughout a lifetime. Our paths are myriad-- some labeled as good and others bad. Each path, we feel, must lead to a destination where it can diverge and a decision can change the course of that path. The installation's title, You Are Here, suggests that in actuality we have already reached our destinations, and the destination is rife with potentialities. It is only necessary to become aware that this moment is the only moment, and we arrive at our destinations again and again.But what does it take for this moment to happen, for you to be where you are right now? If you've ever been in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time, you may have wondered. It could have been a series of seemingly innocuous events that directed you in another direction or decision.By mapping our respective paths to arrive at this space, in front of this installation on this night documents a convergence of our individual physical paths. As we merge, it is my hope that we recognize the enormous capacity of this moment to be a moment of infinite potential.

- Stay in shape without the strain
- Add-on adapters or fully integrated bikes available
- Consider a recumbent trike for special needs
Millions of boomers still enjoy getting on a bike, usually for recreation but sometimes for short commutes. Yet, as we age, the hills grow increasingly daunting. And what was once a fun activity can turn into a sweaty chore. An electric assist bike can help you gain without as much pain.
See Also: Alternative Transportation, Bicycling
According to Bert Cebular, owner of NYCe Wheels, between 30 percent and 40 percent of his customers are boomers. Cebular has been selling electric assist bikes for a decade, and he is one of the largest dealers in the country. While his shop is on Manhattan's Upper East Side, many of his bikes get sent to customers in retirement locales such as Florida, Arizona, California and Texas.
A Worldwide Trend
China is estimated to have more than 100 million electric bikes. Europeans are expected to buy more than a million this year. Here in the United States, the market is more modest, but NYCe Wheels has been seeing 20 percent growth a year, largely in sales to boomers and commuters.
Don't let anyone tell you these are just for wimps. With most of them, if you don't pedal, you don't move. Many of the most popular are known as pedelecs. These require you to pedal for the motor to kick in. There are others that are throttle driven and don't require pedaling. In terms of the law, these are generally considered bicycles and not motor vehicles, so they don't have to be licensed, nor does the rider. That's a real plus for anyone who has lost his or her driver's license, but still wants to get around. It also means you can usually take them on those trails that are marked "No Motorized Vehicles" (though there have been cases in which park rangers have tried to ban them).
Cebular says boomers buy the electric assist bikes for a number of reasons.
First and foremost, they are a great way to stay in shape without the strain. Some buy them to keep up with their own kids. Still others use them to keep up with the grandkids, sometimes putting trailers on them to tote the little ones. And he says that since many boomers have taken less stressful part-time jobs, they are using the electric bikes to commute.
Finally, he says RV drivers and boaters are buying folding electric bikes to put on board to get around at their destination.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Yasiel Puig legged out a double on a slow rolling grounder and came home to score on Adrian Gonzalez's line drive down the left-field line, as the Los Angeles Dodgers prevailed in 12 innings over the New York Mets, 5-4, to complete a three-game sweep and extend their winning streak to eight games.
The Dodgers continue to find ways to win, 40 times in the last 48 games, in fact. They trailed by four runs after five innings on Wednesday, but chipped away to stay within striking distance.
LaTroy Hawkins blew the save for New York in the ninth, denying Dillon Gee of his ninth win. He served up a two-run, game-tying homer to pinch-hitter Andre Ethier that sent the game to extra innings.
"It was a fastball away and I got it all," Ethier said of his homer. "It's nice to be part of something we've got going here."
When his hit in the 12th through the middle deflected off the glove of shortstop Omar Quintanilla, Puig never stopped running and came flying in to slide into second safely.
Gonzalez handed Pedro Feliciano (0-1) the loss with his liner down the third- base line.
After Ethier's one-out blast past the left-field wall tied the game for the Dodgers, the Mets' offense went silent. They managed just two singles in extra innings, with Paco Rodriguez (3-2) turning in 1 1/3 innings of relief to earn the victory for the Dodgers.
Marlon Byrd ended 3-for-6 with a three-run homer. He fell a triple short of the cycle as New York ended up spoiling a solid performance from Gee, who permitted the Dodgers to just two runs on seven hits and one walk.
"Dillon kept us in the game and threw the ball well," Mets manager Terry Collins said of his starter. "(The Dodgers) are playing good ball and they're pitching very well. You're never happy when you lose three straight when you had a chance to win."
Hanley Ramirez returned to the Dodgers' lineup to make his first start in 10 games since injuring his shoulder on Aug. 4. He finished 2-for-5.
Puig was able to erase Byrd by gunning him out at third on Justin Turner's shallow base hit in the second, but the Dodgers couldn't keep the Mets from scoring. Ike Davis reached when he grounded into a force out, stole second and then trotted home on Andrew Brown's double into right.
Byrd made up for his base running blunder in the third, following singles from Daniel Murphy and Josh Satin with his first homer since July 21 to stake New York to a 4-0 lead.
Carl Crawford stunted the Dodgers' home fourth, getting picked off first base before the team followed with three consecutive singles to pack the bags. Mark Ellis flew out to end the inning.
Gee flirted with danger again in the sixth, serving up one-out hits to Gonzalez and Ramirez, whose double into the left-field gap placed runners at second and third.
Ellis came up after Gee plunked Skip Schumaker on the foot and was able to bring in a run when he beat out a potential inning-ending double-play ground ball. Jerry Hairston then sent a grounder past the diving reach of Murphy at second to make it 4-2.
Former Met Chris Capuano made the start for Los Angeles, yielding 10 hits,
four runs and two walks over five innings ... The Dodgers have won nine of
their last 10 meetings with the Mets ... Los Angeles has won in Capuano's last
six starts ... The home run was Byrd's 100th of his career ... Los Angeles has
won a franchise record 12 consecutive one-run games.
