Roberts, a celebrated former justice and chief administrative judge of State Supreme Court in the Bronx and a larger-than-life model for an irascible judge in Tom Wolfe’s 1987 best-seller, “The Bonfire of the Vanities,” died on Sunday. He was 88.

Judge Burton B. Roberts, shown in his chambers in 1979, died of respiratory failure on Sunday.
He died of respiratory failure at the Hebrew Home for the Aged in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, where he had lived for the past year, according to a niece, Amy Roberts.
In his courtroom, only Judge Roberts was allowed to be flamboyant. Voluble and blunt, with a fiery temper and a rumbling voice that brooked no nonsense, he drew far more attention — and publicity — than his black-robed colleagues, relentlessly chastising overzealous prosecutors and defense lawyers, and even chiding witnesses he deemed out of line.
Out of court, insulated by 14-year terms, multiparty endorsements and wide voter appeal, he denigrated capital punishment, mandatory sentencing laws, and public officials who criticized rulings in ways he felt were politically motivated intrusions upon the independence of the judiciary.
And he was not above calling the news media or summoning reporters into his chambers — as he had done when he was an assistant prosecutor in Manhattan and the district attorney in the Bronx earlier in his career — to make sure that the facts, and his point of view, were conveyed accurately to the public.
But to many colleagues, there was more to Judge Roberts than met the ear.
“Despite his image as a tough guy, he’s really compassionate,” Fernando Ferrer, the former Bronx borough president, said when Judge Roberts retired at the end of 1998 after 25 years as a State Supreme Court justice, the last 11 as the administrative judge in charge of criminal and civil trial courts in the Bronx.
And he was a hero to some he incarcerated.
“I came before Judge Roberts when I was 16,” said a man who served two years as a youthful offender in the 1980s, graduated from Pace University with honors, became a New York Mercantile Exchange analyst and never forgot a judge who turned his life around.
“He just seemed to care what happened to me,” said the man, who asked not to be identified. “It wasn’t the usual assembly-line type of approach to justice.”
After Judge Roberts retired from the bench, he joined the law firm of Fischbein Badillo Wagner Harding, working on civil and criminal cases. He was on the team that defended one of four officers acquitted in the killing of Amadou Diallo, the unarmed West African immigrant who died in a hail of 41 bullets in the Bronx in 1999.
Burton Bennett Roberts was born in New York on July 25, 1922. He earned a bachelor’s degree from New York University in 1943. He joined the Army in World War II and saw action as an infantryman in France and Italy, rescued comrades under fire, was wounded and won the Bronze Star for valor. He earned a law degree at N.Y.U. in 1949 and received a master’s in law from Cornell University in 1953.
He was an assistant prosecutor to the Manhattan district attorney, Frank S. Hogan, from 1949 to 1966, and was once knocked out by a defendant. The man, a robbery suspect who said he was being “framed,” lunged at Judge Roberts in court and punched him behind the left ear. Judge Roberts was unconscious for two minutes, and — although he volunteered — was not allowed to finish the case.
He was a take-no-prisoners prosecutor. Killers, drug dealers, racketeers, even corrupt politicians toppled under his verbal blows. His voice — described by a courthouse wag as a few decibels below the roar of a jet engine — could rise harshly, his face turning beet-red, as he railed before a jury about a defendant’s dastardly wrongdoing.
In 1966, he was recruited by the Bronx district attorney, Isidore Dollinger, to be his chief assistant, and when Mr. Dollinger resigned to run for a judgeship two years later, Judge Roberts became acting district attorney. In 1969, Judge Roberts, a Democrat, won a full four-year term with backing of the Democratic, Republican and Liberal Parties. He built his staff from to 100 prosecutors from 39.
In 1973, he was elected to the court, and over the next 14 years presided over hundreds of cases, including an arson trial and civil proceedings arising from the Happy Land Social Club fire that killed 87 people in 1990, the worst loss of life in a city fire since the Triangle Shirtwaist Company blaze in 1911. Judge Roberts sentenced the arsonist to 25 years to life, and helped negotiate a $15.8 million settlement of civil claims in 1995.
In “The Bonfire of the Vanities,” one of the only admirable figures is Myron Kovitsky, a Bronx judge who refuses to be influenced by the press, the public or publicity-seeking prosecutors. Mr. Wolfe modeled the character after Judge Roberts and dedicated the book to him and one of his former assistants, Edward W. Hayes. In the 1990 film version, the judge’s name was changed to Leonard White, and he was portrayed by Morgan Freeman.
Judge Roberts was a bachelor until 1982, when, at age 59, he married the former Gerhild Hammer. He is survived by his wife; a brother, Charles, of Scarsdale, N.Y.; a niece; and three nephews. Another brother, George, died in 2006.
In 1996, when Gov. George E. Pataki and Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani criticized him for setting bail they considered too low for the accused killer of a police officer, Judge Roberts dismissed their remarks as “the bleatings of public officials who possibly are seeking political advantage.”
In his trademark stentorian rumble, he told a reporter for The New York Times: “The judiciary acts as a ballast on our ship of state, and it prevents the ship from being wrecked on the reefs of inappropriate judgment, and should not be steered by the whims of hysterical opinion.”
He paused to clear his throat.

YOUR KEYS TO SUCCESS
Many times the real "Key" to success comes from being in the right place at the right time ... and it can almost guarantee instant success for you. Knowing about something and being able to take advantage of it before everyone else knows about it is the other "Key" that puts you in a real position of power.
These 2 things combined can mean the difference between mediocre success and becoming an overnight success.
Well you're not only in the right place at the right time but you're also getting to discover something before everyone else does and it is ... Coming Soon!
This new company that you can get pre-registered for ... way before everybody else does ... is going to absolutely change the way the home-based industry, as well as the MLM industry, does marketing and recruiting "Online" and even more importantly "Offline."
The inside information I've been able to get on just one of their products first hand is worth its weight in gold.
As I understand it, one piece of the company that's being kept totally secret is their never-before-released "Rejection Free" recruiting methods and techniques plus their "Automatic Push-button Formula" that recruits like crazy and it's built right into the company's system!
It allows "ANYONE" online or offline the ability to recruit like crazy with the simple push of a button - no matter how green you are. As you'll see - It's a totally new and innovative way of recruiting and once you're exposed to it, you'll never want to go back to the old worn-out traditional ways of doing business again - Period!
It's such a different approach and is so appealing to the people who have never done anything like this before and even for the people who have ... that they just can't wait for you to share with them what you're actually doing.

Why sport is such a powerful unifier: Mandela, Shriver
Having been involved with Special Olympics Australia for almost three years now, it was sad to hear recently of the loss of the global movement's founder, Eunice Kennedy Shriver. There has been much said about the amazing things Eunice did during her life, both here in Australia and around the world, and it's a testament to the incredible legacy she has left for people with intellectual disability. Rather than focus on disability, it was Eunice's intention to show what amazing abilities these people have and, through sport, she was able to do so.
I've been fortunate enough to attend a Junior National Games here in Australia in 2008 and the excitement and anticipation that is built up around these events is amazing. Everyone comes together with the common purpose of achieving things others deem impossible and many of the stories created during such events are simply inspiring.
Sport has this amazing capacity to bring people together. While there are certain components within the 'sporting community' that we'd rather forget (a few exceptions to the norm), it is generally able to bring participants, supporters, coaches and volunteers together to share the best of human spirit - particularly in the case of Special Olympics. The difference that simply participating, let alone a gold medal, can make to people who are often marginalised in society is incredible and sport also acts as a form of rehabilitation in this sense, overcoming past challenges and building social support networks. In terms of community building, this is a key element of sport in Australia.
Eunice Shriver was a unique individual in terms of how she was determined to adjust global perspectives around intellectual disability, but there are other stories as well that are just as indicative of the power of sport in bringing people together. You may have heard of the instances during World War I when opposing armies lay down arms on Christmas Day for a game of football - such humanity in amidst the brutally.
Another example is the unification of South Africa around the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Nelson Mandela is no doubt an amazing individual, but his efforts to calm a warring nation through the symbol of the Springboks is remarkable. This documentary from the ESPY Awards is 'shivers-down-your-spine' stuff:

Breaking Local News from New Orleans, Louisiana
Edwin Hampton, band director at St. Aug's, dies at 81
by Lolis Eric Elie, The Times-Picayune Tuesday July 21, 2009, 10:43 PM
Edwin Hampton 'didn't just teach music. He taught manhood,' former St. Augustine drummer Bernard Johnson said Mr. Hampton will forever be remembered for the look and sound of his Purple Knights, the purple-and-gold-clad band members who march each year in Carnival parades. But his contributions to his school and community extended far beyond parades and football halftime shows.

"He didn't just teach music. He taught manhood, " said Bernard Johnson, a professional musician and former St. Augustine drummer. "We practiced, I thought, harder than the football team.

"He was preparing us for the future beyond St. Aug, " recalled Gregory Davis, one of the founding trumpet players with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. "That discipline, I know, I have carried with me throughout my lifetime."
YouTube videos of the St. Aug's Marching 100.
While his former students remember his impact on their lives, most New Orleanians remember Mr. Hampton's influence on their most cherished holiday: Carnival.
"He founded and led the quintessential New Orleans Mardi Gras marching band. They are just emblematic of all of Mardi Gras, " said Arthur Hardy, publisher of "Arthur Hardy's Mardi Gras Guide."
"They were the most imitated band in all of Mardi Gras."
Searching for a style
St. Augustine was founded in 1951 as a Catholic high school for African-American males. Mr. Hampton took over the band in the school's second year.
He had a lofty vision of what a marching band could be. He honed that vision by studying college bands across the country.
At football games, most bands would march into a formation, then stand still while playing the music.
"He wasn't happy with that, " recalled Carl Blouin, a former student who served as assistant director from 1959 to 1992.
Blouin's first year as a teacher at St. Augustine was also the year the band revealed the fruit of its director's studies.
"Mr. Hampton had gone to workshops in the summer. He wanted to instill in us a different style of marching, " Blouin said.
The result was "patterns in motion, " an approach in which band members created complicated formations while marching a precise eight steps every 5 yards. Soon, Mr. Hampton's halftime shows rivaled the games themselves for entertainment value.
"I don't want to get in a fight with the football coach, but I do know a large number of people who go to our games come to hear the music and see the band, " Mr. Hampton said in a 1981 interview.
Such was the band's renown that, in 1967, St. Augustine's band desegregated Carnival, becoming the first black band to march down St. Charles Avenue in the Rex parade.
Though a great honor, marching in previously all-white Carnival celebrations was not without a price.
"Parades used to march through the French Quarter, " Blouin recalled. "That wasn't too pleasant because the people on the balconies would throw things on us and some of the things they threw, you don't drink those things. You know what I mean?"
Band earns accolades
Under Mr. Hampton's direction, the St. Augustine band achieved national renown, performing for Pope John Paul II, eight U.S. presidents, several Super Bowl audiences, the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif., and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York.
The band was able to march through insults, vile projectiles and roses in part because of the St. Augustine mystique, an unwritten code of conduct and point of pride the band director helped instill in his young musicians.
"The first thing he did was appeal to our integrity, " said Terence Blanchard, the Grammy-winning trumpet player who played in the St. Augustine band in the late 1970s. "He constantly talked about having pride in what you did, having integrity in everything you did."
"Hamp taught us discipline, respect and leadership, " said D'Juan Hernandez, a local businessman who played trombone in the band in the 1980s.
"Those were critical value traits you had to have for him. All he asked of you was to be honest with him and to work hard."
If St. Augustine can be said to have a certain mystique, Mr. Hampton can be said to have exemplified it.
"He was like a legend, " said Michael White, a jazz clarinetist who played in St. Augustine's band from 1968 to 1972.
Someone to look up to
For his students, Mr. Hampton embodied the same kind of authoritative cool they saw in the silver screen detective John Shaft.
"At the time when the Black Power Movement came up and people were looking at 'Shaft' and folks like that, Hamp was like a living legend, " White recalled. "He used to wear the leather jackets and drive gold cars."
This combination of street credibility and no-nonsense teaching defined Mr. Hampton's style.
"This majestic man walked in front of the band with this white beard, and I was just in awe, " said celebrated trumpeter Leroy Jones, who played in the band in the 1970s.
"Mr. Hamp was a disciplinarian, yet he was a gentle man, " Jones recalled. "He would quickly call you a clobber head if you did something you had no business doing."
While always aware of prevailing trends, Mr. Hampton managed to maintain his high musical standards in a changing musical world.
"At a time when bands were starting to play pop music to please the crowd, he played pop music too, but he also emphasized the difficult marches, " White said.
The band's signature tune was the Roland Seitz composition "March Grandioso." Other classic marches in the Marching 100 repertoire included "Barnum and Bailey's Favorite" and "Confidence, " White recalled.
"For a kid to play in a marching band and never play a John Phillips Sousa march is blasphemy, " Mr. Hampton said in a 2004 interview.
In addition to his work at St. Augustine, Mr. Hampton also played piano and saxophone, most notably in the Royal Dukes of Rhythm.
'St. Augustine was his life'
Mr. Hampton was born in Jacksonville, Texas, in 1928. He came to New Orleans to attend Xavier University.
His only child, Tamara Hingle, remembered him as "a very humble man, a very loving and caring man."
Though he was a doting father, "St. Augustine was his life, " Hingle said.
"I talked to him when I took over the band, " said Virgil Tiller, who in 2006 became only the second band director in St. Augustine's history.
"He told me if I was serious about teaching kids music, there were some things I'd have to give up, " Tiller recalled. "It would take over my life."
Mr. Hampton's love for the school continued even after he retired, his daughter said.
"Living with him in the last five years was real rough, " Hingle said. "He was sick. He fought with Alzheimer's disease.
"He was still dedicated to St. Augustine. He was still just wanting to be of assistance to the band, to the school, up until the very day he died."
Mr. Hampton is survived by his daughter and her four children, Yakitha Hingle, Mikell Hingle, Malcolm Hingle and Anthony Hingle.
Funeral arrangements, which are being handled by Rhodes Funeral Home, are not complete.

To my mentor, my teacher, my molder. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to march for you. I reflect, and live by the principals you taught me even today as a successful business owner. You taught me how to prepare, how to practice, how to present, and most importantly how to project myself as a honorable respectful African American. We love you, thank you for dedicating your life to producing quality young men. We came to St Aug from all over the city and you loved us regardless of the wealth of our families, or the complexion of our skin. I am very proud to say that I was once a member of the St Aug Marching 100. Thank youInappropriate? Alert us.
IT BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF THAT 1 NEW YORK MORNING
PINMAN was doing more than scratching his head to understand why THE NEW YORKERS WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF FAA Permission granted PHOTO-OP ABOUT AN AIRFORCE ONE PLANE AND THE STATUE OF LIBERTY FLYING LOW OVER THE SKIES OF DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN,
it reminded him of the day he witnessed the DAY THAT CHANGED NEW YORK, AND THE WORLD FOREVER, WHEN in NEW YORK as a GROUND ZERO RESCUE WORKER when we all witnessed the crashing of the 2nd plane into the towers. NOW YOU SEE WHY PINMAN RUNS BACKWARDS FOR VARIOUS CHARITABLE CAUSES TO HONOR THOSE FALLEN HEROES,at least 22 personally , including BROTHER WILLIAM CHAPMAN OF THE NY PORT AUTHORITY AND THE FIRE CHIEF OF THE NY FIREDOGS to name 2, THATS RIGHT THE AUTHOR OF THE WELL KNOWN POPULAR POEM "'FALLEN BUT NOT FORGOTTEN"
That's quite interesting that neither THE WHITE HOUSE , OR THE CITY OF NEW YORK'S MAYOR was not notified of this PHOTO OOPS,HMMM , heads may not roll this time just yet it certainly turned more than REPUBLICAN HEADS .
HMM WHAT DO YOU KNOW 24 HRS LATER SENATOR SPECTER OF PENNSYLVANIA CHOOSES SMARTLY TO BECOME A REGISTERED DEMOCRAT, OK WHO IS NEXT?
GOV. SARAH PALIN ARE YOU LISTENING? NOW MIGHT BE YOUR CHANCE TO BECOME A REAL REGISTERED DEMOCRAT
CONGRATULATIONS FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA CHOOSING A FIRST RESPONDER FOR THE TEACHER OF THE YEAR FOR 2009 TODAY.
AND TOMORROW , ACTUALLY TODAY WE CELEBRATE 100DAYS OF PRESIDENT BARAK OBAMA BEING IN THE OVAL OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE, KUDOS TO YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA, WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUCCESS AND THE INTERNATIONAL CHURCHES NETWORK , WE ARE CONSTANTLY PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
WISHING YOU GOD'S BEST IN ALL OF YOUR ENDEAVORS

LEARN FASTER
AT some time in every student's education, he or she should memorize the meanings of LATIN and Greek roots, prefixes, and suffixes.After they are memorized, they will be like hooks that help the student catch and retain the meaning of words. The student's vocabulary will grow faster, and their listening and reading comprehension will be improved..
This is easy to do using a low cost software program ,called LEARN-It The program CD comes with 16
Learn-Files with a total of 398 of these vocabulary building blocks .Its software that will turn your personal computer into a personal tutor(for this and other subjects).With enough repetitions, any student can burn them into their memory.
Each of these Learn-files has about 25 of these word parts.When using LEARN-IT, a prompt(root,prefix, or suffix) appears on the screen, the student tries to recallit, presses a key to see the correct definition and two or three sample words that use it.Then they enter a progress score of from 1to 5 (1=totalblank and 5 =instant recall). On successive repetitions, the student can focus their study time where it is needed(based on the scores entered in previous repetitions).
Should your team, company or organization be interested in obtaining this unique software teaching tool, please send us a note and we will make it available to you starting locally and continuing globally, school administrators receives a discount, and also your school qualifies for a free site license, you can call or email us to set up an appointment for a conference call to assess your educational environment.

SENATOR MEEK DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB AT THE FLORIDA SENATE DEBATE
PUNDITS AGREE: MEEK DELIVERED
"This race is far from over"
MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. - Last night's second Florida U.S. Senate debate proved one thing: Kendrick Meek will fight for Florida's middle class. Describing Kendrick as "strong all night [and] landing some of the best punches," the St. Petersburg Times reported that he "cast himself as the scrappy defender of working people."
The Gainesville Sunagreed that "Meek turned in a scrappy performance, repeatedly turning the subject to the middle class and jobs."
Unwilling to veer from the issues that matter most, The New York Times noted that Kendrick "dismissed what he called 'attacks on family members' and changed the subject to jobs."
Pointing out that both Rubio and Crist want to borrow $700 billion from China in order to give away tax breaks to the wealthy, Kendrick "worked to lump Crist and Rubio together as conservative Republicans, saying that both support 'trickle-down economics' and would take the country back to Bush-era politics."
"For all of Florida's children in foster care awaiting adoption, Meek said, Crist is akin to Alabama's late governor George Wallace," noted The Washington Post.
Unlike his conservative Republican opponents, Kendrick did not run away to gather himself - or out right avoid - the press onsite. In fact, Kendrick "was the only candidate to talk with the media after the debate."
"Meek, not Weak," read a caption introducing Kendrick's passionate appearance on Lawrence O'Donnell's new MSNBC program, "The Last Word."
Last night's debate was hosted by WFTV in Orlando and moderated by George Stephanopoulos. The next debate is scheduled for October 15.
