Tony Allen's hi-hat is the elastic voice of Afrobeat, refusing to be a machine. It's the difference between a rigid groove and a room that comes alive.

Bill Carter writes: Four months after taking over Stephen Colbert’s 11:35 p.m. time slot, Byron Allen’s 'Comics Unleashed' is getting something 'The Late Show' never got during Colbert’s decade on CBS: a two-hour prime-time anniversary special.

On this episode of Bears On Tap, we're breaking down the Chicago Bears' shocking 27-7 victory over the previously unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles. With third-string quarterback Case Keenum thrust into action, the veteran delivered one of the most unexpected performances of the season, throwing for 247 yards and two touchdowns while adding a rushing score of his own. But the real story may have been Dennis Allen's defense, which completely suffocated Philadelphia's offense. The Bears forced three turnovers, held Jalen Hurts to 153 passing yards and an interception, and limited one of the NFL's most explosive teams to just 248 total yards and seven points. The Bears were missing key pieces, starting a third-string quarterback, and facing one of the league's top contenders. All they did was dominate for four quarters. Tap in and celebrate one of the most surprising Bears wins in recent memory with the Bears On Tap crew. 🐻⬇️ #Bears #BenJohnson

Tracy Thomas, the Seiberling Chair of Constitutional Law, University of Akron School of Law, has published The First Woman Judge: The Life and Legacy of Florence Allen (University of California Press):Florence Allen was the first woman judge many times over—first federal appellate court judge, first elected to a state supreme court, and first shortlisted for the U.S. Supreme Court. During Allen’s forty years on the bench, the country swung between progressivism and conservatism, with passage of a constitutional amendment for women’s voting rights, two world wars, the Red and Lavender Scares, and the New Deal. Amid these changes, women used their new political standing to transform the courts, first by becoming active agents in the justice system, and then by developing theories of public law, social justice, and fair process. Exploring Allen’s fascinating legal life, Tracy Thomas recounts the larger history of how women infiltrated the legal system as judges, lawyers, jurors, and legislators to demand a more representative system of justice for the welfare of all. --Dan Ernst.  Endorsements after the jump.  “While Florence Allen's many 'firsts' are unique and more than noteworthy, she was so much more than a woman who pioneered the judiciary. The First Woman Judge does justice to the story of how this remarkable woman was able to rise to various judicial positions, all the while enduring the prejudices and challenges of her male colleagues and remaining undaunted.”—Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor, first woman chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court “Florence Allen broke every barrier but one. First woman elected judge. First woman on a federal appeals court. Shortlisted for the Supreme Court—yet never appointed. This revelatory, carefully researched biography exposes how Allen transformed American courts. Her fight opened the door for generations of women judges to come. Thomas's book is important reading for anyone who cares about the history of the legal profession and the future of the judiciary.”—Renee Knake Jefferson, Doherty Endowed Chair in Legal Ethics and Professor of Law, University of Houston, and coauthor of Shortlisted: Women in the Shadows of the Supreme Court “The First Woman Judge recounts the illuminating story of a judicial trailblazer, Florence Allen, who dedicated her life to the law. Allen’s legacy proved women’s qualification for the highest courts of state and federal judiciaries, setting a path for future women like me to serve in those roles.”—Judge Deborah Cook, Senior Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, and formerly Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court “One of the leading voices in feminist legal history today, Professor Tracy Thomas situates this masterful portrait of Judge Florence Allen within the broader history of women, law, and the twentieth century. The result is a fascinating and important book that illuminates how women in our nation’s past have shaped its future.”—Paula A. Monopoli, Distinguished University Professor of Law, University of Maryland Carey School of Law, and author of Constitutional Orphan: Gender Equality and the Nineteenth Amendment “The best biography yet on Florence Allen, a luminary who has yet to take her proper place in legal and political history. This snappy and well-written biography places Allen’s legal decision-making in historical context and fully analyzes how her sex shaped her career.”—Sally J. Kenney, Professor Emerita of Political Science, Tulane University, and author of Gender and Justice: Why Women in the Judiciary Really Matter
