Judicial activism occurs when judges write subjective policy preferences into the law rather than apply the law impartially according to its original meaning. As such, activism does not mean the mere act of striking down a law.
In a 6-2 opinion delivered by Justice William J. Brennan, the majority ruled that the Supreme Court has authority to review and alter state legislatures' attempts to reapportion voting districts. The Court dismissed the argument that the reapportionment of legislative districts is a "political question" (and thus left to the accountable political branches, and not to judicial process).
The Baker Court engages in judicial imperialism, establishing the reasoning that would lead to the judicial usurpation and management of virtually all features of the political questions arising in redistricting. From the time of Marbury v. Madison, the Court has recognized that "Questions, in their nature political . . . can never be made in this court." Despite the fact that the function of redistricting was clearly delegated to the political branches and had historically been recognized as beyond the province of the judiciary, the Court found that it was within its authority to decide the matter for the other branches. In so doing, Baker enumerated six factors it would consider in weighing the justiciability of political questions—a test which in application has been criticized as greatly weakening the political question doctrine.

--Company posted a profit of $1.29 billion in the fiscal first quarter
--Growth in processed transactions and payments volume accelerated in the quarter
--Client incentives decreased from the previous quarter
(Updated with details about tax benefit in paragraph six, details about share repurchases in paragraph eight and new details throughout.)
By Andrew R. Johnson
Visa Inc. (V), the world's largest payments network, said Wednesday its fiscal first-quarter profit increased 25.9% to $1.29 billion as the company benefited from a tax-related gain and purchase volume grew 9%.
The Foster City, Calif., company has benefited along with rival MasterCard Inc. (MA) as consumers have swapped cash and checks for plastic cards and other forms of electronic payments. However, the companies face increased regulation and a choppy economy that is pressuring growth.
To expand further, Visa and MasterCard have been targeting regions of the world where paper money still reigns supreme and technology such as merchant credit-card terminals and ATMs is lacking. That effort is expected to be among the top items on the to-do list of new Visa Chief Executive Charles Scharf, who joined the company in November.
The most recent quarter's results reflect "accelerating international expansion," as well as investments in its core business and new payments technology, Mr. Scharf said in a statement.
Visa, which helps banks and merchants process card transactions but doesn't lend money or issue cards to consumers, said it earned $1.93 a share in the latest quarter, up from $1.49 a year earlier.
The results were helped by a tax benefit related to new California state rules, which represented about 11 cents of earnings per share in the quarter, the company said.
Operating revenue increased 11.7% to $2.85 billion.
The company also repurchased about 9 million of its Class A common shares during the quarter with $1.3 billion of cash on hand, and its board authorized a new $1.75 billion repurchase program.
The results beat the average estimates of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters, who had been expecting the company to earn $1.79 a share on $2.82 billion of revenue.
Visa's shares were down slightly at $160.75 in after-hours trading Wednesday. The company's shares are up more than 49% over the past 12 months through Wednesday's close.
Visa said it processed 14.2 billion transactions in the quarter, up 4% from a year earlier. The dollar volume of payments made by cardholders increased 9% on a constant dollar basis to $1.1 trillion. That compares with a 2% increase in processed transactions and a 6% increase in payments volume in the previous quarter.
The company also continued to see improvements in its U.S. debit-card business, which has lost volume since new regulations took effect in April that govern how such transactions are processed.
U.S. debit-purchase volume declined 3.6% to $282 billion in the fiscal first quarter, compared with a 5.8% decline in the previous quarter. The volume had fallen 9.3% in the fiscal third quarter of last year following implementation of the rules, which has resulted in banks that once used Visa exclusively to process all its debit-card transactions to add competing processing networks on their cards.
The company's results follow a strong fourth-quarter earnings report last week from MasterCard, which said the growth rate in card purchases increased slightly to 13%, reaching $727 billion. Transactions processed grew by 20% to 9.2 billion, down from the 24% growth rate MasterCard reported in the previous quarter, due to the lapping of new debit-processing deals.
MasterCard Chief Executive Ajay Banga last week warned, though, that "fiscal policy discussions" and other factors could shake consumer confidence, tempering spending in the first half of the year.
To protect its dominant position in the debit-card processing market, Visa last year rolled out a new strategy that hinges on pricing changes intended to entice merchants to continue routing debit-card transactions over its network. The U.S. Justice Department is investigating the strategy for potential anticompetition violations, Visa disclosed last year.
Part of Visa's strategy includes increased incentive payments to merchants to encourage their business.
Such client incentives, which include payments to banks and merchants based on card spending and other factors, were $553 million and represented 16% of gross revenue. The incentives were $563 million, or 17% of gross revenue, in the previous quarter.
While investors have been worried about rising incentive payments, Andrew Jeffrey, an analyst with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, wrote in a research note on Wednesday that he expects such payments "will level off in future periods."
Visa paid about $4 billion from its litigation escrow account to a fund for a class-action settlement reached last year over transaction fees. Merchants had sued Visa, MasterCard and several large banks, accusing them of conspiring over so-called swipe fees that retailers pay each time a customer pays with a credit card.
The settlement, which would end years of litigation, received preliminary approval by a federal judge last year and is slated for a hearing on final approval later this year, though several merchant groups have opposed the deal. They argue it provides too few benefits for retailers and won't present swipe fees from increasing in the future.

By the Numbers: Fewer U.S. Parishes
The number of Catholic parishes in the United States peaked in 1988 at 19,705. Since that time, the Church has experienced a net loss of 2,222 parishes and now has 17,483 parishes (-11.3%). The Church still opens new parishes each year. In 2013, 61 new parishes were opened. In the same year, 190 parishes were closed.
Many closings occur in the Northeast and Midwest. In 1950, 46% of the U.S. Catholic population resided in the Northeast and 30% in the Midwest. Today, only 28% of U.S. Catholics live in the Northeast and 23% in the Midwest. Additionally, many Northeastern parishes were constructed in urban areas. Now many Northeastern Catholics reside in the suburbs. New parishes are often opened in the West and South where the Catholic population is growing. However, the pace of new construction is too slow to counter closures in areas where the Catholic population is no longer increasing. One of the factors limiting more new parishes is the diminishing numbers of clergy. For more see CARA's Frequently Requested Church Statistics.
Fifty Years of CARA research About the Church
CARA celebrated its 50th Anniversary on October 27, 2014 with a Mass, reception, and presentations at Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School. CARA Board Chair Bishop Gerald Kicanas hosted the event and Cardinal Seán Patrick O'Malley, O.F.M. Cap. celebrated Mass. CARA honored the Oblate School of Theology with the Cardinal Cushing Medal for the Advancement of Church Research. Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, The Apostolic Nuncio of the Holy See to the United States, made closing remarks. Download the program here.
CARA History: Although usually considered a product of the Church's increasing openness to science and research resulting from the Second Vatican Council, CARA's origins go back even farther. As early as 1951 the superiors of U.S. missionary institutes called for a national research center to help reshape the missioner's role in the emerging churches of the developing world. But the immediate impetus for such an organization was an article in 1961 by Richard Cardinal Cushing, on "The Modern Challenge of the Missions," in the newspaper of the Archdiocese of Boston. Subsequently the major superiors of mission-sending orders voted about $5,000 to evaluate the need for "A Catholic Center for Coordinated Research and Cooperation." A study group delivered a favorable report in late 1963. CARA was officially incorporated in the District of Columbia on August 5, 1964. Its founding board of directors included Archbishop (later Cardinal) John P. Cody and Bishop (later Archbishop) Fulton J. Sheen of the Propagation of the Faith. CARA's founding documents established principles that have guided the organization for 50 years. In summary form, these are to gather new information, to store and retrieve such, and to disseminate useful data for practical use by Church decision makers. Two additional principles soon became CARA hallmarks: absolute independence and objectivity. As one commentator put it, CARA's objective is "to search dispassionately for truth."

Trends Among Religious Institutes of Women
CARA Special Report, Fall 2014
CARA has completed a longitudinal study of women religious in the United States drawing on data reported by the religious institutes of women listed in the Official Catholic Directory (OCD). The contributions of women religious in the United States continue to be evident today in Catholic institutions of education and healthcare across the country, but there are, and have been, countless other contributions as well. Over the years, these valiant women have adapted to changing circumstances and forged ahead despite challenges to their way of life and ministry. The U.S. Catholic Church is indebted to the ministerial efforts and sacrifices made by women religious in the past and present. This CARA Special Report is an effort to disentangle the story of women religious in the United States that is hidden in the numbers.

Hanging Out in Rockford: Having parties
By Mike Leifheit
My friend Sandi is having her 50th anniversary party this Thursday night (Medicine Man). It doesn't seem possible, but I guess it is. I'm sitting here at my computer thinking about when I moved in here 20 years ago. Doug Busch remodeled that space initially. He was one of the reasons I wanted to move into this space. He found this great old building that used to be a drug store in the late 1800s. Doug had some schooling in architecture, and he wanted to show off.
Show off he did. The loft he built is one of the three or four nicest in the city. I can only compare LuLu Watts' or Deb Newton's old place. Oh, or now Don, Kyle and Margie's places. Oh, and then there is the loft above Runner's Image; I used to live there when it wasn't so fancy. I had some of the best times of my life in that old apartment at 219 E. State St. (I was young, single, and the choices of roommates were interesting. My best memories of Rockford are from when I lived in that apartment. I owned the State and Madison, and it was the biggest bar in town. Perhaps the biggest bar ever. We used to have 1,500 people in the place on a good night. Some of you old-timers out there let me know about your places. I'm thinking about Maggie's Pub or the Illinois Purchase, among other names.)
And then, there are some wonderful lofts in the Madison/Market area. Susie Kaufman's is outstanding. Unfortunately, Susie isn't finishing out her days in her loft as she planned. (She told me she put in the elevator because she knew she would get to a point where she couldn't climb stairs.) Now, Susie is in a nursing home. I plan to make a visit on my motorcycle when the weather gets nice. There's also a great loft over the old sheet metal building.
And then, on the other side of the river, there is Hans Rupert's building, which I have not seen. Judging by his old apartment in the Brewery, it's gotta be pretty cool. Dave Casazza's, atop the Talcott Building, has the best view in the city. I guess it is a lot more than three or four, but you are starting to get the idea. I fear now who I have left out.
But back to Sandi's building…it is flanked on two sides by storefronts that are part of the original building. Or, I guess a better way to say it is that it is all one building, as is the Irish Rose building, with the dining room of Brio. The first storefront was an upholstery shop when I moved down here 20 years ago. (In the 1800s, it was a drug store and then a harness shop.) Then, it became Gallery Ten. (It was about this period of time that we had a meeting in Gallery 451, what is now Sandi's commercial space next door, and Lola Lee Harris christened the area Block 5.) Then, the first space was The Artery. Those were really good times. Then, it was Zambuca, now it is Bamboo. Whew!
Sandi's commercial space, which when I moved down here was the Goodwill store, next was the aforementioned 451, then I think an antique shop, then a nail salon, and a few other versions of the same (which, incidentally, has generated other businesses in the area), finally evolving into its present upscale fashion shop, Privileges, and nail salon, Scratch.
The storefront on the east side is easier. It was Lawson's art supply for years. Then, it turned into 5 Spa, which it remains to this day. I don't know what it was in the old days.
Sandi conned me into supplying some goodies for her party. She says we need to start having parties like we did in the old days. I couldn't agree more. I think she got Frank Calvanese and Paul, too. I am making homemade Bangers. I'm going to serve them with cooked onions and dijon mustard on soft hot dog buns. Then, I really lost my head and volunteered potato salad. What could I have been thinking? Sandi is right. We need to start having parties again.

Another Israeli in space soon?
(photo credit:REUTERS/NASA NASA)
The Science and Technology Ministry is looking seriously into the option of
training another Israeli to become an astronaut in the tradition of the late
Col. Ilan Ramon, who died in space on the US Columbia space shuttle exactly a
decade ago.The Israel Space Agency is making informal contacts with
international space authorities on the matter. Although the US National
Aeronautics and Space Administration has halted the dispatching of manned space
shuttles into space, it may be than an Israeli trained by NASA could be sent to
work at the International Space Station in a few years, the ministry said on
Wednesday.Meanwhile, Israel has been invited to join the UN Committee on
Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS); it previously had only observer status on
the committee, which is the central international body that deals with space
matters.In a meeting between members of the ISA, the invitation was
extended by Dr. Mazlan Othman, head of COPUOS.Israeli representatives
said they are interested in expanding the country's involvement in such space
activities and will consider joining as a member.ISA representatives
suggested to Othman that they put a model of an Israeli satellite on display at
COPUOS's permanent exhibition in Vienna. The exhibition contains models of
various space vehicles and other memorabilia from numerous countries involved in
space exploration. Among these is a statue of Yuri Gargarin, the world's first
astronaut who was sent into space by the former Soviet Union, and a stone
brought back from space. So far, Israel – which is a major world leader in the
development of satellites – has had no representative object on display
there.More than a dozen senior space administrators and scientists from
around the world have been in Herzliya over the past few days to attend an
annual conference in memory of Ramon, who died in space exactly a decade
ago.Science and Technology Ministry director-general Menahem Greenblum
and European Commission deputy director-general for industrial initiatives Dr.
Paul Weissberg signed an agreement that opens the door for cooperation between
Israel and the EC in the field of space. The agreement, according to the
ministry, will open up various cooperation activities with Europe and give
legitimacy to Israeli industrialists and researchers to be involved in European
space projects.

Boomer Esiason on D&C: 'I really scratch my head' regarding Wes Welker punishment
|01.17.11 at 8:53 am ET
CBS Sports NFL analyst Boomer Esiason made his weekly appearance on the Dennis & Callahan show Monday morning to talk about the Patriots' 28-21 loss to the Jets on Sunday in the AFC playoffs. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Esiason said Tom Brady's inability to match his play of the second half of the regular season was the thing that stood out to him. "Tom Brady was off," Esiason said. "I don't know what was wrong with him yesterday. I don't know if he had the flu, he had the cold, or whatever it was. He just didn't look like the player that we have seen in the last eight weeks at any point in that game."
Added Esiason: "He just wasn't right. There was something ' I don't know if he wasn't feeling right or wasn't comfortable, or if it had anything to do with the Wes Welker [punishment]. I don't know."
Esiason did not support Bill Belichick's decision to hold out Welker on the offense's opening series due to remarks Welker made last week poking fun at Jets coach Rex Ryan, the analyst saying that it "sends a negative connotation throughout the locker room." Said Esiason: "I didn't like the fact that he was being made an example of in the biggest game against your heated rival against all the things that went on last week."
Added Esiason: "With this one I really scratch my head. You're making an example out of somebody who you're counting on, and somebody who is really, in my estimation, giving you everything that he possibly could, coming off of a knee injury, coming back, ready to start the season, sacrificing, making all those tough catches over the middle, getting his brains beat in, all of that stuff. And all he does is 30 seconds of what I considered a very witty press conference ' funny, humorous, kind of cutting through all the crap ' and it was great. And then not to start him, that would be pretty tough for me if I were Wes Welker."
Esiason also lamented the Patriots' lack of urgency on offense in the second half, especially the fourth quarter. "That, to me, has got to be answered," he said. "That's the question that should be on the tips of everybody's tongue: Why was that offense so methodical?"
Patrick Chung's botched fake punt toward the end of the first half was perhaps the game's key play, Esiason said. The former NFL quarterback wondered if Chung deserves the right to call that play in just his second season. "I don't know if I would allow somebody to do that in such a big situation," he said. "That's not Lawyer Milloy, that's not Asante Samuel, that's not Rodney Harrison ' guys who have had six, seven years underneath their belt and have been around for such a long time.
Video: Patriots appeared to try sideline trip vs. Jets in Week 2
|01.17.11 at 6:50 am ET
Fox Sports broadcast video Sunday during the NFC championship game showing that the Patriots engaged in similar behavior on the sideline during a punt that earned the Jets a fine from the league. The video, from the Patriots' Week 2 loss to the Jets, shows several Patriots players standing on the inside border of the sideline ' although not in a tight formation as the Jets were ' and one player sticking out his leg as the Jets gunner runs by. CBS also had video of the incident and identified the Patriots player as Ryan Wendell.
The Jets came under fire when strength coach Sal Alosi stuck out his knee and tripped Dolphins gunner Nolan Carroll during a game Dec. 12. Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff denied being aware of the behavior but noted that the Patriots, among other teams, also engaged in the practice. New York was hit with a $100,000 fine for the trip and the comments.
Here's the video of the Patriots sideline.
Report: Pat Chung was the one who called for the fake punt, says Zoltan Mesko
|01.17.11 at 3:16 am ET
Patrick Chung was the one who called for the fake punt late in the second quarter of Sunday's playoff loss to the Jets, according to punter Zoltan Mesko. Mesko told NESN.com that Chung, who was working as the up-man on the play, made the call. "We trust the decision Patrick makes," Mesko said. "It just didn't work out in that particular occasion. That's why the coaches trust him to run it, and that's why they give him the green light, if he has it." Chung appeared to bobble the snap and lost a yard, giving the Jets great field position as the Patriots turned it over on downs. New York cashed in four plays later when Mark Sanchez hit Braylon Edwards on a 15-yard pass play to give the Jets a 14-3 lead shortly before the end of the half.
Postgame Notes: Jets 28, Patriots 21
|01.17.11 at 3:07 am ET
Courtesy of the Patriots' PR staff, here are some postgame notes from Sunday's divisional playoff contest:
Tom Brady's two touchdown passes today raised his career playoff total to 30 touchdown passes, moving him into a tie with Terry Bradshaw for fifth on the NFL's all-time playoff touchdown pass list. Brady ranks sixth on the NFL's all-time postseason passing yardage list with 4,407 career passing yards.
Alge Crumpler had a 28-yard catch on the Patriots' first-quarter field goal drive, giving the Patriots a first-and-10 at the Jets' 12-yard line. The catch was Crumpler's longest as a Patriot, topping his 27-yard grab at Detroit on Nov. 25, 2010. The grab was the second longest of Crumpler's six-game playoff career, topped only by a 31-yard catch for Atlanta in the 2004 NFC Championship Game at Philadelphia on Jan. 23, 2005.
Alge Crumpler caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady in the third quarter. Crumpler has scored a touchdown in three straight games after scoring a touchdown in the final two regular-season games. It was Crumpler's second postseason touchdown. He caught an 18-yard touchdown in a divisional playoff game vs. St. Louis (1-15-05) while with Atlanta.
Deion Branch had five catches for 59 yards and a touchdown against the Jets. Branch's touchdown was his fourth career playoff touchdown for the Patriots (three receiving, one rushing), tying him with Corey Dillon (four rushing touchdowns) for third on the Patriots' all-time playoff scoring list. David Givens is the Patriots' all-time playoff leader with seven postseason touchdowns.
'¢ With 59 receiving yards today, Branch raised his career playoff total with the Patriots to 688 receiving yards, good for second on the team's all-time playoff receiving yards list. Troy Brown is the Patriots' all-time playoff leader with 694 career receiving yards.
'¢ With five receptions today, Branch upped his career playoff total with the Patriots to 46 receptions in nine games, with his total of 46 catches ranking third on the team's all-time playoff receiving list (Troy Brown 58, Kevin Faulk 51).
BRADY THROWS A TOUCDOWN PASS IN 17th STRAIGHT PLAYOFF GAME
Tom Brady's 2-yard touchdown pass to TE Alge Crumpler in the third quarter gives him 17 straight postseason games with at least one touchdown. That streak is second in the NFL to the league record of 20 by Brett Favre. Brady was held without a touchdown pass in the first two playoff games of his career, but has had at least one scoring toss in 17 straight games since, beginning with Super Bowl XXXVI.

Bart Scott: We've got better players than the Patriots 'all across the field'
|01.17.11 at 12:32 am ET
FOXBORO — Maybe now people will start respecting linebacker Bart Scott and the Jets. At least, he hopes so.
Scott lashed out at the media following his team's 28-21 win over the Patriots, claiming the media was all about praising Tom Brady and the Patriots suddenly-hot defense.
Scott feels they overlooked one key thing – playoff experience and execution.
"We were just ready to play against a quarterback that couldn't get touched and you guys talked about how great he was playing," Scott said. "But what Rex pulled out for us was his last three playoff games, what his record was and what his rating was. He had a 66 quarterback rating for the last four or five playoff games, and you guys didn't look deep enough into the notes, and that's what we leaned on.
"We knew we had more playoff experience than that team. And we knew that when the pressure was on, our guys would perform at a high level and we've been there and done that. We just let you guys build them up, let them read things and now watch them go kick rocks."
Scott had lectured the media earlier in the week about the difference between the regular season and the playoffs, and he hammered that point again Sunday night in the locker room.
"If you go down, look at our roster, look at their roster, we've got better players all across the field," Scott said. "You guys talk about how great this defense is playing. Last time I checked, they're ranked 25th in the league and we were third and we were the ones who get disrespected for not being able to put pressure on the quarterback. That why perception isn't reality all the time. You perceive they're playing so well and we're playing so bad. Guess the cream rises to the top.
"We were given virtually no chance, but we knew that his [Brady] TD/INT ratio was high in the last four, five playoff games. Some of the guys that came in last year were part of an ass-kicking by the Baltimore Ravens. We knew that we could perform and not be over-hyped. We can handle the emotion."
Brady was sacked a season-high five times and intercepted once in losing his third straight playoff game.
But Scott did praise Brady in one very distinct sense. Without Brady, Scott said, Bill Belichick wouldn't be who he is now, which is three Super Bowl titles better than Rex Ryan. Still, Scott said he'd take his coach over anyone, including Belichick.
"Why not better? Belichick is one Mo Lewis hit from being fired," Scott said. "[Brady] don't come in we might be talking about him on the unemployment line."
Antonio Cromartie: My feelings for Tom Brady 'haven't changed'
|01.16.11 at 11:49 pm ET
FOXBORO — Antonio Cromartie stood at the podium in a plain white t-shirt. He was triumphant but reserved in his comments. There were no "I told you so's" coming out of out his mouth after his Jets eliminated the Patriots, 28-21, before a stunned Gillette Stadium crowd. For once, he just let his actions speak on the field.
And did they ever. He shadowed Deion Branch for most of the game, making a key 4th down stop on 4th and 13 at the Jets 34 as Tom Brady looked for Branch on the left sideline. Branch was targeted 10 times but caught just five balls for 59 yards and nothing deep.
"Our whole thing was just going out and doing the things that we needed to do," Cromartie said in a very calm, relaxed tone. "I think we had success this game and got Brady all frustrated. [We] got him moving outside the pocket. We felt like once he moved outside the pocket that he wasn't as accurate as a passer. We just did the things that we needed to do, and we went out and scored points. We caused turnovers and things like that, and that's what you have to do."
What Cromartie and the Jets caused Sunday was chaos, sacking Brady five times, knocking into him several other times and picking him off for the first time since mid-October.
Brady completed 29-of-45 passes for 299 yards but was hardly comfortable all game. As a matter of fact, it was the collective effort of Cromartie and Darrelle Revis on Branch and Wes Welker that gave Brady no open receivers for most of the afternoon.
Before the last game, the Jets were hit by the loss of safety Jim Leonhard. Cromartie said that hurt them then but not on Sunday.
"We were flat," Cromartie said. "That week there are really no excuses, but when you lose a guy like Jim Leonhard during an important weekend like that, it takes a toll on guys because the communication wasn't there [and] we had to put guys in to fill his spot. And coming into this weekend, we had guys to the point that we could go out and communicate. We have five weeks with those guys, and we're all playing on a very high level. We had a great game plan. Coach Rex [Ryan] and his staff put a great game plan together." Read the rest of this entry »
Scott: Brady was 'fidgeting' in pocket
|01.16.11 at 9:23 pm ET
FOXBORO — Jets linebacker Bart Scott met with the media following his team's 28-21 win over the Patriots. Scott was asked when he knew that the Jets were in the head of Tom Brady on Sunday.
"When he started looking for the rush when there was no rush," said Scott. "When he thought after a certain amount of time, he was fidgeting. I give Ben Roethlisberger a lot of credit, he's man enough to stay in the pocket, look in the barrel of the gun and take the hit. Most quarterbacks don't like getting hit. When they get hit, they turn into a totally different person."
Scott had lectured the media earlier in the week about the difference between the regular season and the playoffs, and he hammered that point again Sunday night in the locker room.
"We were given virtually no chance, but we knew that his [Brady] TD/INT ratio was high in the last four, five playoff games," said Scott. "Some of the guys that came in last year were part of an ass-kicking by the Baltimore Ravens. We knew that we could perform and not be over-hyped. We can handle the emotion.
"They aren't a vertical offense. We didn't fear any of them deep, we knew they couldn't get deep. We knew that they are small guys. People talk about how that's a disadvantage to us, how about being a big, physical defense being an advantage for us? Those guys started wearing down on defense and offense."
Scott was asked if this win meant that Rex Ryan could now be looked at as an equal of Bill Belichick's as a coach.
"Why not better? Belichick is one Mo Lewis hit from being fired," Scott said. "[Brady] don't come in we might be talking about him on the unemployment line."

That's the point! They wouldn't get adjusted at all. The rating system works best when it's allowed to work without people making artificial adjustments.
Giving people an initial rating other than "unrated" is an artificial adjustment.
The only thing I guess is that people may not really like the idea of playing against someone unrated. I mean I'm not sure I would since I don't know if I would be getting a close game. If they start with some rating, even a player who has only played 2 or 3 games I could have at least some idea of how good they were even if it wasn't that accurate.
I certainly wouldnt like it if I was say 1800 and got paired with an " unrated " that had an OTB title . I doubt anyone would . I see nothing wrong with assigning an initial rating to players that may be new to online chess but are obviously strong players who are not new to chess . An OTB IM , GM, FM etc should NOT have to start at 1200 ... thats just silly . I did start at 1200 here however .
Hmm , this is an internet chess site , i don't think there's anything wrong with unrated as well as rated or even titled players starting equally at 1200 , though that can be a pain , i think that if you're rated 2000+ in OTB you won't have a problem getting there here .
On another site, a person is unrated for one game. That's it. Compare that to the number of games a USCF expert is severely under-rated on this site due to starting at an artificial point of 1200.
I know I was subject to quite a bit of verbal abuse from my unfortunate opponents early on here. One even pointed out that the average rating of my opponents early on were under 1400, as if I were intentionally beating up on fish. The higher rated players wouldn't play someone with a low rating.
Unrated for one game sounds too short to me. It is 10 games for FIDE, IIRC.
After one event you get a provisional rating. Whether that provisional rating is displayed or not depends on the organization. Since the rating is extremely soft, many organizations don't show provisional ratings until at least four games have been played.
Fair enough, they could give you a rating and then it could indicate that it's provisional somewhere in the display. Then again, it's easy to tell if someone is "provisional" manually by seeing how many games they played.
"I know I was subject to quite a bit of verbal abuse from my unfortunate opponents early on here. One even pointed out that the average rating of my opponents early on were under 1400, as if I were intentionally beating up on fish. The higher rated players wouldn't play someone with a low rating."
Well if you had those experiences I can't argue against that, but this kind of thing seems much more likely in theory than in practice, and it certainly didn't happen in my case. As you strive to get your rating higher, average rating of opponents should even out -- if you play 500 games, those first 10 or so aren't going to be noticed.
Pffft maybe it actually would be better if ratings were assigned after 10 provisional games against random opponents rated no less than 1200 but not exceeding 1800 , but then again it could be worse LOL.
But does the provisional rating affect your opponent's rating after the match?
If I remember correctly, it doesn't..
What I Learned is this:
Titled players automatically have their rating start at 2000, and get free diamond membership.
What I Learned is this:
This is simply not true , I started at 1200 .
Really? That's not what I've heard.
He joined in 2007, so you both may be right.
Regardless of what you heard I am telling you the truth . Its possible they recently changed their policy , I don't know .
It was maybe two years ago (probably more) that they allowed at least some titled players to start out at a much higher rating--2000?
From hanging out in the cheating forum back in the day.
Not sure what the policy is currently.
oh ok

The No. 5-ranked Syracuse Orange rang in the New Year playing its best basketball of the season.
In what was its biggest challenge so far in Big East play, the Orange faced no. 15 Notre Dame (fresh off beating Georgetown) at the Carrier Dome on New Year's Day in front of 22,116 very animated spectators.
The Orange played a complete game and certainly did not appear to be sluggish even after the holiday. In the second half, Syracuse halted the Fighting Irish's run and scored 18 unanswered points en route to an impressive 72-58 victory.
The Orange overall has defeated Notre Dame 35 times in 49 head-to-head meetings. SU improved to an unblemished 15-0 overall, 2-0 in the Big East.
Syracuse was led by a balanced cast featuring Kris Joseph, Scoop Jardine, Rick Jackson and James Southerland. Joseph, for the fourth straight game, led all scorers posting 18 points on eight-for-17 shooting, while grabbing a season-high eight rebounds.
Jackson remained consistent, too, delivering 12 points, nine rebounds and six blocked shots. He is tops in the Big East in rebounds at 8.6 per game and fifth-best in the country.
SU shot well, finishing at 49.1 percent from the floor (28-for-57), and held a strong Notre Dame offense beyond the arc to 29.4 percent The Orange forced 15 turnovers, nine of them in the second half, scored a fare share of points off those turnovers and dominated in the fast break category 21-8. Notre Dame's 58 points was a season low.
Southerland was one the keys to victory. He has gotten progressively stronger off the bench, getting 12 points against the Irish and making 50 percent of his 3-point shots. Meanwhile, Jardine registered another very good outing of 15 points to along with his 9 assists.
At the onset, Notre Dame was sharp, storming out to a 10-4 lead thanks to high percentage shooting from the floor. Senior Tim Abromaitis drilled a 12-foot shot and Mike Scott hit a pair of 3's in succession.
