Women's Tennis Closes Day One at Tennessee Fall Invitational
Oct. 26, 2012
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The NC State women's tennis team completed its first day at the University of Tennessee Fall Invitational Friday, as the Pack took on three doubles teams from Ohio State, in addition to facing Tennessee in a series of singles matches.
The Wolfpack notched a quality victory in doubles, as the team of junior Joelle Kissell and freshman Rachael James-Baker downed the Buckeyes' duo of Gabby Steele and Fidan Makashirova, 8-4.
Unfortunately, NC State's two other doubles teams pitted against Ohio State tandems were unable to pick of victories, as sophomore Sophie Nelson and junior Christy Sipes were defeated, 8-6, by Kelsey Dieters and Kara Cecil, while sophomore Nicole Martinez and Elisha Hande dropped a hard-fought, 9-8 (5), decision to Kelly Becker and Nicole Flower.
The Wolfpack met the Volunteers in six non-dual singles matches, including a showdown between two of the nation's top 20 players. Kissell, ranked 19th in the preseason ITA singles poll, met 18th-ranked Brynn Boren, but Boren would get the upper hand in the battle, grabbing a 7-5, 6-3 victory.
Hande also faced a highly-ranked opponent in No. 28 Kata Szekely, and despite a strong effort, fell in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. Martinez was downed, 6-0, 6-2, by Caitlyn Williams, James-Baker, 6-4, 6-1, at the hands of Mimi Fotopoulos, Sipes, 6-2, 6-4, by Tiffany Tavares, and senior Chloe Smith was outlasted, 6-3, 6-3, by Joanna Henderson.
NC State will look to rebound on day two, Saturday, as the Pack will square off with singles matches against Kentucky at 10 a.m., followed by a trio of doubles matches versus Tennessee at 1 p.m.
Ohio State vs. NC State
1. Kelsey Dieters/Kara Cecil, OSU, def. Sophie Nelson/Christy Sipes, NC State, 8-6

Surgery for localized prostate cancer offers a significantly higher survival rate than either external-beam radiation or hormonal therapies, according to a new study led by researchers at UCSF.
The differences among therapies were more prominent at higher levels of cancer risk, and suggest, the researchers say, that in many cases surgery should play a greater role in treatment strategies for patients with prostate cancer that is likely to recur or spread.
The study is available online in the journal Cancer, the journal of the American Cancer Society, at http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/fulltext/123630095/HTMLSTART.
Most previous reports comparing treatment outcomes among different treatment options have looked only at PSA responses to treatment, rather than at the more important long-term survival outcomes, according to the researchers. Measuring levels of PSA, or prostate-specific antigen, in the blood, is intended to help determine whether prostate cancer has recurred or spread, although in many cases a rising PSA level does not necessarily mean the cancer will progress.
Roughly one man in six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, according to the American Cancer Society.
"Despite the high incidence of prostate cancer, there is relatively little high-quality evidence on which to base current treatments for localized disease," said Matthew R. Cooperberg, MD, MPH, lead investigator of the study and a prostate cancer specialist in the UCSF Department of Urology and the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center.
"These therapies can all have significant side effects, so it's important to understand which treatment alternatives are most effective. In current practice, likelihood of undergoing surgery falls progressively with in

An Elizabeth City woman lost her home in Friday's tornado. She wasn't home when the storm hit. She says God told her to leave her home hours before the tornado touched down in her neighborhood.
"I always keep a bag packed in case with the wind come up, I'm gone," said Elizabeth Sutton. "I can't stay back there with all them trees."
She's staying with family, something that's difficult for a woman who is fiercely independent.
"Cause I been on my own, ever since I could get on my own," Sutton said.
Three days after the storm, her faith hasn't waned. Friends have dropped off a slew of donations. Bag after bag now fill her sister's apartment where she's staying.
"I said thank you Jesus," Sutton proclaimed. "Throw my hands up and said thank you Jesus."
Elizabeth Sutton's spirit and optimism isn't going away. If it can survive a tornado, it can survive anything.

A natural beauty, 26-year-old Angelica Panganiban looks like she's never had a rough day in her life. The showbiz industry is, after all, a tough world to be in. She has been placed in the media's hot seat several times and yet, it still seems that she has everything under control. More than the grace she has to keep herself composed, her fashion choices and beauty regimen has a lot to do with it as well.
A jeans-and-shirt kind of girl, Angelica isn't really one to be sartorially picky. "Comfy and relaxed," she says as she describes her style. Shoes, heels, and flats are what mostly compromise her closet. "I'm not fond of dressing up pero sa shoes ako bumabawi." On the contrary, the first investment fashion item she ever bought was a bag but "mas masaya ako nung nakabili ako ng Louboutins!" she shares.
When it comes to her beauty routine, she believes that "less is more." She doesn't like putting on makeup but always puts moisturizer on her skin. On the red carpet, she goes for a makeup look depending on her mood but the "lighter makeup, the better," she says. And one to never disregard her hair, she always makes sure it's brushed and gets the TLC it deserves. "I put hair cream and hair conditioner from Pantene."
To stay fit, playing badminton is her workout of choice. "I don't get bored and hindi mo namamalayan na you're losing weight while having fun. It's also my time to bond with my friends."
The celebrity's fashion and beauty choices are surprisingly simple but like they all say, it is in the simplest of things where you find true beauty—and that is what Angelica exactly is.

Cons:Hotspot has noticeable beam artifacts.
The MT series is the latest line of flashlights from NiteCore which aims to offer a convenient and familiar interface aiming to strike a balance between programmable functionality and practical usability.

The MT series is the latest line of flashlights from NiteCore which aims to offer a convenient and familiar interface aiming to strike a balance between programmable functionality and practical usability. The head has a smooth bezel up the front with no separate lip or crenelated bezel attachments, clean and simple. The neck area towards the rear end of the head has a raised hexagonal ring which serves as an anti-roll feature. In addition, this hexagonal ring also provides additional grip for rotating the head which is easily done single-handedly. Looking in from the rear end, we can see the positive battery contact which implements a physical reverse polarity protection feature by mean of two slightly raised metal strips.
The battery tube is style conservatively, maintaining a clean cylindrical shape mostly covered in diamond-textured knurling apart from two flat machine faces where branding is printed on. Threads on both ends of the battery tube are cleanly machined and quite deeply cut, there was hardly any cross-threading encountered during the review process. The threads towards the tail end are anodized which allows the light NiteCore MT1A to be locked out, preventing accidental activation when carried in pockets, bags, etc. Rubber o-rings sit behind the threads which provide good moisture seal, they came well-lubricated too which is nice. Overall size-wise, the NiteCore MT1A is not the most compact single-AA flashlight, but in turn allows for more comfortable handling when used for long periods. The tail cap follows the cylindrical design of the battery tube, covered in knurling with two raised sections prongs. This allows the light to tail stand while still having the switch still easily accessible. There are two slits machined through the prongs which allow for lanyard attachments and such.
The NiteCore MT1A produces a mid-sized bright central area. While the hotspot is generally well focused, perfectly circular with a defined edge, it does have some artifacts within the center area. A soft corona surrounds the hotspot which makes the hotspot seems slightly wider than it actually is. The spill beam region is relatively dim compared to the central area, but is clean with no artifacts unlike the hotspot. The beam has a slightly cool temperature which isn't really noticeable unless compared side by side to sunlight white. The user interface for the NiteCore MT1A has a very practical and easy to use user interface.
Switching ON/OFF
Switch ON: Press the button on the tail cap until a "click" is heard.
Switch OFF: Press the button at the tail cap until a second time until a "click" is heard.
Mode Switching
The Nitecore MT1A has two modes: Turbo and user-defined. These two modes can be changed by simply tightening and loosening the flashligh t head. Turbo provides 100% output while user-defined users contains five selectable sub-modes.
Turbo Mode
Turbo mode is accessed when the MT1A flashlight is switched ON and the head lightly tightened. While in this mode, momentary illumination can be achieved by switching off the flashlight and then half pressing and holding the
switch. Momentary illumination can be used as a flashing signal indicator or apply to various tactical applications.
Note: After three minutes' using of turbo mode, the flashlight will lower its output automatically for preventing overheating, and efficiently ensure the battery run time.
User-Defined Mode
User-defined mode is accessed by slightly loosening the flashlight head. In this mode, lightly and rapidly pressing the switch will cycle throug h brightness and other functions in the following order: "High-Mid-Low- SOS-Strobe". Pressing the switch all the way down will save and memorize a desired setting. Tips: Make NiteCore MT1A your perfect multi-task flashlight.
NiteCore MT1A flashlights essentially have two modes: Turbo mode (100% output) and custom mode. Turbo mode is accessed by tightening the flashlight head while any of one of the four customizable modes (strobe, l ow, medium
and high) are selected by loosening the head and rapidly pressing the on/off switch to cycle through the modes. A given mode can be saved by simply turn off the light while in that mode. Real-world examples include: When used as a
flashlight around the home, the head can be loosened and low level selected in custom mode, providing long run times at a lower light intensity . The same flashlight could then be taken out and used a law-enforcement duty light, with
user-defined mode set in strobe, making it easy to alternate be tween turbo mode and strobe with a simple twist of the flashlight head.

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
MONS, Belgium, May 20, 1998 Bosnian refugees will return home despite ethnic separatists' attempts to thwart them. "These refugees are going to return home. They are not going to be denied," NATO's supreme allied commander Europe said here May 15.
"They're going to show that the power of the ethnic separatists is a thing of the past in Bosnia," Army Gen. Wesley K. Clark said. "People on all sides want this to work. They just want this over with. They just want to get on with their lives."
People truly want to go home to the land where they grew up, where their grandparents planted orchards, where their ancestors are buried, Clark said. In many areas, Croats, Serbs and Muslims are returning home successfully, he said.
Hard-liners who engendered ethnic hatred and separatism during the war want to sabotage the return process, he said. In April, for instance, some of the 1,000 or so Serb refugees returning to Drvar in northwest Bosnia met violent opposition.
Families living in the town center were burned out in what Clark called a "premeditated, armed attack by hard core, ethnic separatists using incendiary devices." Two elderly Serbs died when separatists torched their home. Those responsible, including local police and civilian government authorities at all levels, will be held accountable, he stressed.
These "ugly incidents" are not spontaneous demonstrations of popular resistance, but well-organized sabotage, Clark said. Ethnic separatists are challenging the international community, but they are losing their power and credibility step by step, bit by bit, he said.
Clark said the international community in coming months intends to move ahead with refugee returns in minority areas. Muslims have agreed to bring people back into Sarajevo. The Republic of Srpska's new prime minister, Milorad Dodik, has said he hopes to see 70,000 refugees return. Serb areas around Brcko are seeing a vast return of Muslim residents driven out during the war. Some Serbs living in the Banja Luka and Prijedor areas want to return to homes in southwest Bosnia.
September elections could further refugee returns. Clark said international authorities hope voters in the several local and national elections will elect pluralist, multiethnic leaders committed to the Dayton accord.
Clark called the elections important for Bosnia and for the international community because results will determine to what extent NATO can begin to drawdown its peacekeeping forces. About 35,000 NATO and non-NATO troops, including nearly 7,000 Americans, are slated to remain in Bosnia beyond the June end date of the stabilization force mission. Clark said he expects that number to remain constant through the elections.
Detailed plans for the follow-on force, now being finalized, call for maintaining the same force structure, but with a smaller headquarters staff. After the elections, NATO will consider drawdowns on an area-by-area basis, Clark said.
One feature of the follow-on force is specifically aimed at maintaining law and order. A new, 800-strong Multinational Specialized Unit will support refugee returns and help implement election results. These specialized troops will have the discipline, cohesion and warfighting skills of a military force, plus special equipment and training in police skills, Clark said. Negotiations on which nations will contribute special troops are under way. At present about 100 Argentines, 500 Italians and a platoon from Romania are expected to be part of the special unit during its first six-month rotation.
Some NATO-led stabilization force units are trained and equipped to deal with mob violence, but others are not, Clark said. The unit in Drvar during the recent violence, for example, did not have that training. While the unit could not prevent the incident, it stopped the mob by firing shots into the air and in the ground in front of their feet.
"The Multinational Specialized Unit will be trained and equipped to help deter mob violence should it occur," he said. "They're trained in riot control techniques and how to handle such situations effectively and safely."
The special unit will operate as part of a reserve force under the control of the SFOR commander. This added asset will enhance the NATO-led stabilization force's ability to maintain a secure environment so civilian authorities can continue Bosnia's reconstruction, Clark said.
What remains to be done in Bosnia requires the combined commitment of the international community and the NATO-led peacekeeping force, he said. "The civilian leaders of the international community cannot do their work without SFOR's presence and support, but we can't do it for them to the very end."

Ideas@TheCentre 30Vol. 8 No. 30 (August, 2010)
Freedom quote of the week
"Liberals are optimists. Conservatives are afraid of the future. Socialists want to plan it."
— Herbert Giersch (11 May 1921- 22 July 2010)
Big ideas? Or big mistakes?
06 Aug 2010|
The 'big idea' at the Centre's annual Big Ideas Forum on Monday was sad and depressing: Europe as we know it has ceased to exist and is facing a difficult future.
If population is power, then what are we worried about?
06 Aug 2010|
Thinking big is currently out of fashion in Australia. That is, if you're thinking about a 'Big Australia.' But what if, in all our worries about being too large, we're failing to appreciate the true 'big picture'?
Freedom and religion
06 Aug 2010|
Every year the CIS holds The Acton Lecture on Religion and Freedom, named after the Lord Acton, the great liberal and contrarian Roman Catholic who fought against the doctrine of papal infallibility in the mid-nineteenth century. This is where the great dictum 'power tends to corrupt and absolutely power corrupts absolutely' has its genesis. He was referring to both Popes and Kings.

CWA, other Public Worker Unions, file Lawsuit on Pension
Communications Workers of America, District One
102 South Warren St. Trenton, NJ 08608
For Immediate Release: August 31, 2011
NEW JERSEY – The Communications Workers of America, the largest union of New Jersey state workers, released the following statement today from Hetty Rosenstein, CWA's New Jersey State Director:
"New Jersey made a promise to its public workers: work hard, serve the people of New Jersey, and take a salary that is less than what you might earn in the private sector – and you can look forward to a secure and stable retirement. It is not lavish: the average state pension, including managers, is $23,000 a year; and just $14,000 for local government workers. But hundreds of thousands of public service professionals planned their lives around that deal."
"The State of New Jersey, however, has not lived up to its end of the bargain. For over a decade, state workers contributed billions of dollars of their hard-earned wages into the pension system while Trenton skipped its payments and piled up I.O.U.'s. Now, Trenton politicians want workers and retirees to pay the price for this irresponsibility by eliminating decades worth of future cost of living adjustments for state workers, even while needed pension payments are delayed for another seven years . The result will be slashed benefits and an ever increasing mountain of pension debt."
"Retirees and long-term public workers, who in many cases have devoted their entire working lives to the State of New Jersey, can't go back and choose a different path. They earned every penny of their pensions, and if Trenton politicians won't keep their promise, we have no choice but to go to court to force them to uphold their end of the bargain."
Facts on the Public Pension Lawsuit:
The lawsuit alleges that portions of the recent legislation violate both the United States and New Jersey Constitutions and asks the Federal Court to enjoin the implementation of those provisions. Public employees in New Jersey have rights to certain pension and health care benefits that have been promised, for which employees have fulfilled all requirements, and which by law cannot be reduced.
The lawsuit challenges:
1. The suspension of cost-of-living increases for current and future retirees because it violates the United States and New Jersey Constitutions by interfering with the contractual and property rights of current and future retirees to receive the pension benefits they had been promised and for which they are entitled.
2. The increase in pension contributions for current employees because it violates the United States and New Jersey Constitutions by interfering with the contractual and property rights of current employees to make pension contributions at the levels previously established by statute.
3. The State's continued underfunding of the pension system to the extent that it has caused the unconstitutional suspension of cost-of-living increases and increases in employee pension contributions.
4. The delegation to Pension Committees of the authority to change benefit levels and eligibility requirements in ways that would unconstitutionally interfere with the vested, contractual and property rights of public employees and retirees.

The jury is out a little on some of these, simply on the practical side I wonder whether you are safer with a pencil and paper however, if you can guarantee the iPad against weather and accident then there are some very useful apps.
Decibel meter – something that could be useful in environmental quality surveys, giving objective data to a subjective method.
Light Meter – a basic assessment of light, just like an SLR / DSLR camera. Could be used in ecological studies as long as the requirement for precise data was not there. More of an estimate, but I have known these being used for fieldwork even for Environmental Systems and Societies internal assessments in the IB Diploma.
Camera – not an app but an in-built tool of immense value, particularly given the integration that is possible for processing and annotating the image or video later.
360 degree panoramas – wonderful for aiding recollection of a location and giving the student a sense of really 'being there'. You can get the same result using various other apps. Consider using this in combination with the excellent Sphere app.
Clinometer – yes it works and I have tried it out, but trusting a load of iPads to students on a sand dune transect seems risky to me!
Compass – as above – it works just fine, but to trust it in the field is a probable, 'no'. Some work around a school site is ideal though.
Don't forget to use the video function and also any simple voice recorder for those passing notes – ideal for when you are driving past something and can't stop.

Gear Review
Ryan Clapp
Great Goggle, With 1 Shortcoming
I spend all winter on the snow working. I go through A LOT OF GEAR. All I can say about these are they are amazing AMAZING. The Fit is great (the are big but so am I)they fit perfectly with a Giro G9 helmet, and for once a company has an anti-fog that actually keeps goggles from fogging. As far as the lens auto tint goes, I don't know how I have skied with out it. You forget you are wearing goggles. They are the best there is.
Cons: The lens is held on with the triangle clips around the frame, so when you take them off or need to pull them over your helmet you need to make sure you don't pull on the lens. If you do it can come on clipped in a few spots. So, just grab them by where the strap attaches and you should be good to go!
Over all: Buy these or another SPPX lens goggle from zeal. The auto-tinting lest may seem a bit over the top but it is 100% worth it!
Ryan Clapp
A quick update: These goggles have served me very well. Recently the rubber straps that attache to the frame broke. I sent it off to Zeal and for only $10 they offered me some repair options, and because they did not have my original color they are send me a brand new pair of the newest model. Talk about a great company!
good to hear man. Thats awesome

By Jennifer Archdekin
FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. - The Missouri National Guard continues to prepare for the national-level earthquake exercise known as Vigilant Guard this November. The training scenario, based on a catastrophic earthquake along the New Madrid fault line in southeast Missouri, will test the readiness of the Missouri Guard along with its civilian, military and federal partners.
The 110th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, headquartered in Kansas City, along with its subordinate units, will play a large role in the drill. In the event such a disaster did occur, the brigade would likely be tapped to respond.
Recently about 75 Guardsmen from across the state conducted a rehearsal of concept, or ROC, drill at Fort Leonard Wood to test those waters. Col. William A. Ward, brigade commander, met with representatives from each of his units to run through their current plan to be executed this fall.
"It allows us to go through each phase of the exercise to make sure we cover down on everything that needs to happen," said Ward. "From my perspective, it also provides a forum to ensure all commanders understand the intent of the operation and are working towards the same end state. Finally, it allows us to work out the synchronization of the operation, who's doing what to who and when."
The 110th MEB oversees subordinate units that have a variety of resources to be utilized in both the upcoming exercise and in a real-world emergency. Skill sets such as communications, security, maintenance, food, fuel and transportation are vital components when recovering from such a disaster.
- 311th Brigade Support Battalion headquartered in Lexington
- 1-129th Field Artillery headquartered in Maryville
- 1-138th Infantry Regiment headquartered in Kansas City
- 135th Signal Company located in Kansas City
- 548th Transportation Company located in Trenton
- 1128th Forward Support Company located in Marshall
- 1138th Transportation Company based in St. Louis
Ward said a myriad of units, such as engineers, military police or search and rescue teams, will make their way to the impacted area to help. The 110th MEB is responsible for receiving and directing the support as it arrives.
"Our role is to make sure that all of the forces that are coming into the state to help are taken care of," said Ward. "We receive them into the state and push them on to the units responsible for command and control of the impacted areas of responsibility."
The units will come through one of three joint reception, staging, onward movement and integration sites, or JRSOI, before going on to do their missions.
"We will be logging them in and making sure they are taken care of as far as feeding, fueling and rest, and making sure they are getting to the units where they are needed."
According to Ward, the brigade's second role, and will become their primary role after the first few days, is the logistical piece. For the Vigilant Guard exercise, the 311th BSB will be positioned at Fort Leonard Wood and will supply the forces in the affected area. The field artillery units will man the JRSOI sites and continually handle the influx of troops, as there will be a constant rotation of support. Infantry units in turn will provide security to the sites. The remaining units will be used as needed to carry on their mission.
Other senior commands throughout the state will also participate in Vigilant Guard. For the 110th MEB alone, Ward estimates about 800-1,000 troops from his brigade will participate in this large-scale exercise.
Though there is no guarantee of a catastrophic earthquake along the New Madrid fault, the Missouri Guard hopes for the best while preparing for the worst. Should Missouri never see the disaster come to pass, the training is still imperative to the Guard's overall readiness.
"Every time we do one of these operations we learn something," said Ward. "Every situation is unique. There are no two disasters that are the same. What we are doing is teaching the principles that can be applied to any disaster. The things we're learning here -- the coordination, how to provide support -- can really be applied to any disaster and can be scaled to any size of disaster."
In 2011, each unit within the 110th MEB served on at least one, if not multiple, state disaster missions. In addition, the 548th TC and 1138th TC, along with several Soldiers from various units within the brigade, served on overseas deployments. The invaluable experience within the brigade further enhances the capabilities and know-how of the men and women called up to help out in what could be one of Missouri's biggest natural disasters.
"Providing support to state and civil authorities is something we do almost every year," said Ward. "If we're not trained up to respond to these type of events it's going to come back to bite us. We can utilize what we've learned here for almost any response to any kind of disaster, or we may be the unit going in helping another state which we have done, like in Katrina and others. Exercises like Vigilant Guard will help us provide better support when it's for real."
The New Madrid Earthquakes of 1811 and 1812 rank as some of the largest in U.S. history. The earthquakes' devastation has been a stark reminder for the Missouri National Guard and civilian responders to be prepared for the next one.

Here in Philadelphia, the local television networks are abuzz with news that Senator Arlen Specter has switched parties. Specter's detractors and supporters will likely spend the next few weeks debating whether the longtime Republican has sold out his party or, alternatively, finally bought into the Democrats' policy agenda after many years of being a Republican. Either way, a few points are in order:
1. The MSM that once hailed former Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords's party-switch as "brave" should control itself. Far from brave, Specter's move is nothing short of an exercise in outright survival: Specter was trailing so far behind GOP primary challenger Pat Toomey in the polls that he seemingly had no choice but to switch parties. And even if this weren't the case, Specter's move reeks of political opportunism on the national level. At least Jeffords had the temerity to buck the recently-elected president's party when he caucused with the Democrats – and thereby gave them the Senate majority – in mid-2001. Specter, on the other hand, is joining the president's party and – assuming that Al Franken is declared the winner in Minnesota – has given Obama's agenda a filibuster-proof free-ride in the Senate. Our system of checks and balances has rarely been so fragile, and this fact should temper the MSM's excitement. (But don't count on it.)
2. Pennsylvania Republicans played their part in this. Much as Connecticut Democrats' decision to reject Joseph Lieberman in the 2006 Senate primaries in favor of Ned Lamont ultimately came back to bite the party – Lieberman, after all, won the state-wide race as an independent – Republicans do not help their prospects by rejecting a figure from their own party who has long represented state-wide political consensus. Granted, a left-wing Republican might not serve many Republicans' policy priorities effectively – but neither will representation by two Senate Democrats.
3. With a filibuster-proof majority, the Democrats have reached a major political peak. How long they stand on this peak is an open question. But Republicans have physics on their side: what goes up must come down.

Unraveling the Supreme Court's PPACA DecisionBy
As we all know, last Thursday the Supreme Court released its decision on the so-called Affordable Care Act, widely regarded as the signature legislation of the Obama Administration and dubbed Obamacare for short. The decision was a surprise and occasioned some particularly egregious misreporting by the liberal media, which tends to ignore or distort legal niceties on its best days. Still, once press and pundits realized that Congress' massive intrusion into healthcare had been upheld due to the vote cast by Chief Justice Roberts, euphoria set in for the most part. Liberal pundits and academics lavished praise on Roberts for his statesman-like decision and judicial restraint.
In contrast, the reaction by Conservatives was mixed. Some thought Roberts' decision a masterstroke along the lines of Chief Justice Marshall's decision in Marbury v. Madison, where Marsahall and a Federalist bench eschewed a result that would be popular with party while making plain that their political opponents, Jeffersonian Republicans, had acted lawlessly when they denied Marbury his commission. Others made the case that Roberts' decision was fundamentally flawed, with some calling his reasoning tortured and others suggesting that he had caved-in to the political pressure the White House had brought to bear by warning that an adverse decision would discredit the court. I write to share a few thoughts about how we might look at the decision as an organization that is committed to a government of laws, not of men, in a constitutional republic.
The decision is complicated but presents three basic constitutional issues, and Roberts' decision on each provides information relevant to evaluating the charges leveled against him. The first issue was whether Congress could require individuals to purchase health insurance pursuant to its power to "regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian Tribes." Here the Court (Roberts and the dissenters, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito), held that Congress could not regulate the decision of persons not to purchase insurance because the decision not to purchase a commodity (insurance) was not commercial or economic activity. That is a surprisingly complicated question given the existing law—and the Court largely avoided those complications by essentially saying that the decision not to buy could not be deemed commercial activity because if it were, then the commerce power would be able to reach just about any decision that had any conceivable impact on commerce, a result that would undermine the whole notion of a federal government of limited and enumerated powers that is the heart of the federal structure assumed and in some measure effectuated by the federal constitution. We learn in logic that you cannot define something by saying what it is not. Still, the reasoning has some force in this context. The point is that Roberts participated in one of the few cases that have limited the commerce power since the turn of the twentieth century.
The second issue is closely related, i.e., whether Congress could regulate a noncommercial/noneconomic activity (the decision not to purchase health insurance), under its power to "make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the forgoing powers…." From the earliest days of this country, that clause has been interpreted broadly. For example, most recently Justice Scalia held that Congress could regulate the production of marijuana in California for the purpose of giving it to persons using it to sedate themselves from the pain arising from disease. He reasoned that because Congress could regulate commerce in marijuana, the regulation of noncommercial production of marijuana could be regulated as a necessary and proper means of insuring the integrity of the federal regulatory scheme. The basic idea is that Congress could proscribe this activity in order to insure that there was no commerce in the drug. But here again Roberts and the dissenters provided another meaningful limit on the necessary and proper power. Basically the Court reasoned that Congress could not compel activity that so as to make the activity fit within the commerce power because this would also make the necessary and proper clause the means by which all activity could be brought within the scope of a federal power, a result that would likewise the eviscerate the whole notion of limited powers at the heart of our federal system.
Because Roberts agreed with the dissenters on these points he had to reach the last argument advanced by the Department of Justice in favor of the mandate, i.e., that the tax liability arising from failure to comply with the federal command to purchase insurance was constitutional because it was an exercise of the federal government's power to "collect taxes…for the…general welfare of the United States…." As we know, Obama and other politicians denied the penalty collected by the IRS (depending upon the income earned and the decision to purchase insurance) was a tax. But it is axiomatic that the Court engages in its own analysis when it characterizes Congressional action for the purpose of applying constitutional provisions, and also, that the separation of powers built into the Constitution requires the Court to indulge any reasonable characterization of a statute so as to avoid voiding it as unconstitutional. Applying these basic principles, Roberts held that the mandate was in fact a tax because it was a measure designed to raise revenue that did not rise to the level of penalty as the Court has defined that term in order to prevent the taxing power from becoming a limitless powers. In reaching this decision Roberts relied upon a decision which resolved a longstanding debate about the scope of the taxing power in favor of a broad few of the clause.
This is the holding that has attracted the criticism of many conservatives. But what has been absent from that criticism is a meaningful engagement with the principles Roberts employed to support the conclusion he reached in this case. I realize the decision is long and the issues complicated. Indeed, I freely confess that I will need more time to come to grips with it—as will many others who have freely voiced their criticism if the truth be told. But that is what prompted me to share these points. The criticism I have seen so far seems to be based on the idea that the result is undesirable, a view I agree with. At the same time, it is axiomatic for conservatives who believe in a government of laws, not men, that judicial decisions should be driven by principled reasoning, not desire results.
The term "judicial activism" is often used to criticize decisions that are found objectionable. Abuse of the term has largely obscured the evil it seeks to identify—a decision that is properly characterized as result-oriented because inconsistent with the discernible purpose of the constitution's provisions and outside the range of reasonable doctrinal development. It has been said both liberal and conservative justices have been guilty of the kind of abuse of judicial power that deserves the label, and sadly, there is some truth to that charge.
Maybe the reason that Roberts' decision disconcerts so many is that this is what judicial restraint actually looks like. In any event, I write to suggest that we who collaborate under the banner of CatholicVote.org should reserve our judgment until we see better reasons for the criticism than have been set forth thus far.

The taxing power in the living document / dead letter known as the Constitution says it needs to be income per the 16th amendment or apportioned.
But Roberts apparently thinks the Congress can tax in any way, anyone, anytime.
I'm waiting for medicare to pay for euthanasia…
Professor Gillen,
Does it really matter what the reasoning is? At the end of the day, unless I am misunderstanding something, which is not unlikely :-), Roberts essentially held that the power to tax is unlimited. That is, that Congress can even tax something that hasn't occurred (like someone not buying insurance). With this logic, what is to stop Congress from using that power to do anything? Suppose Congress decreed that I must paint my car red and that if I don't do so, that I must pay a tax or go to jail. Is there any difference in logic? Could the founders really have believed that Congress had the unlimited ability to compel behavior through its taxing power? This is too fantastic to believe. It seems to me to be the end of private property.
No, laws must meet a test called "rational basis", which is the very lowest form of review. While most laws pass this test, a law that taxes people for not painting their car red probably wouldn't pass this test. If the government could produce a study showing that red cars were involved in less accidents, such a law might have a rational basis, but until then, it's not likely to meet the standard. Obamacare meets this test because it's been well proven, and it's perfectly rational that people that choose not to buy health insurance cost every American money by going to ER's and then skipping out on payments. Therefore, the "tax" on uninsured people has a rational basis, just like the tax on cigarettes.
conner, I hardly think the "rational basis" test has proven effective in weeding at irrational laws. That said, your point is a good one. I used a bad example. More effective examples to argue the point have been provided by others I have read; Pat Buchanan for one who suggested we might be compelled to buy new cars in order to stimulate the economy. Or what about buying "green" products for our homes to make them more efficient?
Thank you for the breakdown of the Justice's thinking process.
Actually, I was quite at peace with his opinion. Since it is a tax, it can be changed. We just have to decide if we are willing to make the change in the voting booth.

Women who walk at least three hours every week are less likely to suffer a stroke than women who walk less or not at all, according to the latest research.
While the current study, which appeared in the journal Stroke, cannot prove that regular walking caused the fewer strokes, it contributes to a small body of evidence for potential relationships between specific kinds of exercise and risk for specific diseases.
Past studies have also linked physical activity to fewer strokes, which can be caused by built-up plaque in arteries or ruptured blood vessels in the brain.
'The message for the general population remains similar: regularly engaging in moderate recreational activity is good for your health,' lead author Jose Maria Huerta of the Murcia Regional Health Authority in Spain told Reuters Health.
Women who walked briskly for 210 minutes or more per week had a lower stroke risk than inactive women but also lower than those who cycled and did other higher-intensity workouts for a shorter amount of time.
In all, nearly 33,000 men and women answered a physical activity questionnaire given once in the mid-1990s as part of a larger European cancer project.
For their study, Huerta and his team divided participants by gender, exercise type and total time spent exercising each week.
The authors checked in with participants periodically to record any strokes. During the 12-year follow-up period, a total of 442 strokes occurred among the men and women.
The results for women who were regular walkers translated to a 43 percent reduction in stroke risk compared to the inactive group, Huerta said.
There was no reduction seen for men based on exercise type or frequency.
'We have no clear explanation for this,' Huerta wrote in an email.
He hypothesized that the men may have entered the study in better physical condition than the women, but there was no evidence to support that guess.

Tensions between India and Pakistan won't go down much more unless Pakistan actually stops the Islamic militants from using camps in Pakistan and infiltrating into Indian Kashmir. It's obvious that Pakistan has taken only half hearted efforts to stop the movements of the militants.
In Kashmir, three rebels took refuge in a mosque, where they were surrounded and killed by police. Other clashes killed eight rebels, four civilians and seven soldiers.
The US is selling six C-130 transports to Pakistan for $75 million each.

Too big!!

To begin, I ordered a small because I am 5'8 and slim, but as soon as I put on the shirt it felt like it was made for a 5'8 fat man. I immediately had to take it to a tailor to get it refitted.Overall it's good material but its useless if it doesn't fit correctly.I'm not sure about the other sizes, but small is definitely not small haha!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
