Even more improvements are on the way for this expanding market. Roger Minkow, M.D., who created the Body Geometry saddle for Specialized bike and component maker, will soon be offering another ergonomic design: a rubber grip on handlebars with a built-in suspension system to eliminate vibration on your ulnar nerve, which extends from the underside of your forearm to your pinkie and ring finger. When you grasp the handlebars long and hard, you pinch this nerve. Result: ouch...
...many Americans who believe citizens have the right to defend their property and privacy with firearms, these ranchers are true patriots, doing a job the government is too weak-kneed to carry out. Ranchers such as Roger Barnett from Douglas, who boasts of capturing illegals on his property--his record is 170 in a day--have become the heroes of anti-immigration activists around the country.

The medallions, which cost up to $125, have three interlocking circles meant to symbolize the new family's love. They're often presented along with the wedding bands as part of the formal ceremony...
...case in question involved Roger Reeves, a 57-year-old man who was fired from the job he'd held for 40 years; a jury agreed with Reeves' claims of age discrimination and ordered the company to pay $100,000 in damages and back pay. After numerous appeals, in which the initial decision was variously upheld and reversed, the Supreme Court found in the man's favor. As mirrored in the particulars of Reeves' case, Monday's decision ends years of protracted legal battles over the minutiae of discrimination suits; instead, the Justices' opinion has signaled that so-called prima...
