Women’s History Month: 25 Classic Albums For and By Black Women

These are the albums that have given voice to the joy, pain and the essence of black womanhood from the 1960s to now. Although there are some great artists not represented here (The Supremes, Sade, Queen Latifah), these are the 25 albums that made everyone stop and pay attention. From Aretha to Aaliyah to Alicia, these albums make a defining statement and each represents a watershed moment in black music. –ro music

Williams sisters continue to cruise, Safina ousted in Miami

Sisters Serena and Venus Williams won their matches in straight sets Sunday and advanced to the fourth round of the $4.5 million Sony Ericsson Open.
Monday, March 30, 2009

Sports Photos: Check out new pics of everything going on today in the world of sports!

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Top-ranked Serena topped China's Peng Shuai, the 32nd seed, 7-5, 6-2, while Venus, seeded fifth, dispatched German Anna-Lena Groenefeld 7-5, 6-3.

Serena won her second straight and fifth overall Miami title last year by besting Jelena Jankovic in the final. She also titled here from 2002-04. The five titles ties Steffi Graf for the most ever at this tournament.

Next up for Serena will be 17th seed Zheng Jie of China, as she breezed past Frenchwoman Alize Cornet 6-4, 6-0. Venus' next opponent will be 10th-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, who defeated 21st-seeded Estonian Kaia Kanepi 6-4, 6-3.

Venus won this event in 1998, 1999 and 2001. Venus defeated Serena in the '99 finale.

Meanwhile, a trio of high seeds -- all from Russia -- failed to make it out of the third round. Second-seeded Dinara Safina was upended by Australian Samantha Stosur 6-1, 6-4, while China's Li Na outlasted sixth-seeded Vera Zvonareva, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. Ekaterina Makarova bested fellow countrywoman and ninth-seed Nadia Petrova 7-5, 6-1.

Another upset saw Hungary's Agnes Szavay, seeded 25th, topple seventh-seeded Serbian Ana Ivanovic 6-4, 4-6, 6-1.

Also Sunday, fourth-seeded Russian Elena Dementieva defeated Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro, the 31st seed, 6-2, 6-2, while some other seeds to advance were No. 8 Svetlana Kuznetsova, No. 11 Victoria Azarenka and No. 13 Caroline Wozniacki. The Russian Kuznetsova downed Nicole Vaidisova of the Czech Republic 6-1, 6-4, Azarenka of Belarus made quick work of 22nd-seeded Russian Anna Chakvetadze 6-1, 6-4, and Wozniacki of Denmark topped 18th-seeded Swiss Patty Schnyder 6-4, 6-4.

In other action, 20th seed Amelie Mauresmo of France rallied from a set down to beat 15th-seeded Italian Flavia Pennetta 6-7 (5-7), 6-2, 6-2, 24th-seeded Russian Alisa Kleybanova fended off Anastasiya Yakimova of Belarus 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, and 26th-seeded Czech Iveta Benesova defeated Gisela Dulko of Argentina 6-3, 6-2.

Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues, seeded 19th, advanced after 16th-seeded Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova was forced to retire in the third set because of cramping.

The 2009 Miami champ will claim $700,000.

The University of Maryland School of Law has appointed a Temple University legal education leader and constitutional and tort law expert to serve as its next dean, school officials announced Monday.

Phoebe Haddon will be the school's first black dean and the first black female dean to lead a top-tier law school, according to law school spokesman Ed Fishel.

She replaces Dean Karen H. Rothenberg, who is returning to the faculty after a decade in that position.

Haddon, who holds degrees from Yale Law School and Smith College, graduated from Duquesne University School of Law, where she was editor in chief of the Duquesne Law Review.

Haddon holds or has held positions in several legal education organizations, including the Council of the American Bar Association Section on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar, the Society of American Law Teachers and the Association of American Law Schools.
