Ethics and Public Policy Center
June 23, 2005
United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Property Rights Hearing on
"The Consequences of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton"
June 23, 2005
Testimony of M. Edward Whelan III
Good afternoon, Chairman Brownback and Senator Feingold, and thank you very much for inviting me to testify before you and your subcommittee on this important subject. Introduction I am Edward Whelan, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. The Ethics and Public Policy Center is a think tank that for three decades has been dedicated to exploring and explaining how the Judeo-Christian moral tradition and this country's foundational principles ought to inform and shape public policy on critical issues. The Ethics and Public Policy Center's program on The Constitution, the Courts, and the Culture, which I direct, explores the competing conceptions of the role of the courts in our political system. This program focuses, in particular, on what is at stake for American culture writ large--for the ability of the American people to function fully as citizens, to engage in responsible self-government, and to maintain the "indispensable supports" of "political prosperity" that George Washington (and other Founders) understood "religion and morality" to be. 1. Why re-examine Roe v. Wade? Why are we here today addressing a case that the Supreme Court decided 32 years ago, that it ratified 13 years ago, and that America's cultural elites overwhelmingly embrace? The answer, I would submit, is twofold. First, Roe v. Wade marks the second time in American history that the Supreme Court has invoked "substantive due process" to deny American citizens the authority to protect the basic rights of an entire class of human beings. The first time, of course, was the Court's infamous 1857 decision in
the Dred Scott case (Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1857)). There, the Court held that the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which prohibited slavery in the northern portion of the Louisiana Territories, could not constitutionally be applied to persons who brought their slaves into free territory. Such a prohibition, the Court nakedly asserted, "could hardly be dignified with the name of due process." Id. at 450. Thus were discarded the efforts of the people, through their representatives, to resolve politically and peacefully the greatest moral issue of their age. Chief Justice Taney and his concurring colleagues thought that they were conclusively resolving the issue of slavery. Instead, they only made all the more inevitable the Civil War that erupted four years later. Roe is the Dred Scott of our age. Like few other Supreme Court cases in our nation's history, Roe is not merely patently wrong but also fundamentally hostile to core precepts of American government and citizenship. Roe is a lawless power grab by the Supreme Court, an unconstitutional act of aggression by the Court against the political branches and the American people. Roe prevents all Americans from working together, through an ongoing process of peaceful and vigorous persuasion, to establish and revise the policies on abortion governing our respective states. Roe imposes on all Americans a radical regime of unrestricted abortion for any reason all the way up to viability--and, under the predominant reading of sloppy language in Roe's companion case, Doe v. Bolton, essentially unrestricted even in the period from viability until birth. Roe fuels endless litigation in which pro-abortion extremists challenge modest abortion-related measures that state legislators have enacted and that are overwhelmingly favored by the public--provisions, for example, seeking to ensure informed consent and parental involvement for minors and barring atrocities like partial-birth abortion. Roe disenfranchises the millions and millions of patriotic American citizens who believe that the self-evident truth proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence--that all men are created equal and are endowed by
their Creator with an unalienable right to life--warrants significant governmental protection of the lives of unborn human beings. So long as Americans remain Americans--so long, that is, as they remain faithful to the foundational principles of this country--I believe that the American body politic will never accept Roe. The second reason to examine Roe is the ongoing confusion that somehow surrounds the decision. Leading political and media figures, deliberately or otherwise, routinely misrepresent and understate the radical nature of the abortion regime that the Court imposed in Roe. And, conversely, they distort and exaggerate the consequences of reversing Roe and of restoring to the American people the power to determine abortion policy in their respective States. The more that Americans understand Roe, the more they regard it as illegitimate. Reasonable people of good will with differing values or with varying prudential assessments of the practical effect of protective abortion laws may come to a variety of conclusions on what abortion policy ought to be in the many diverse states of this great nation. But, I respectfully submit, it is well past time for all Americans, no matter what their views on abortion, to recognize that the Court-imposed abortion regime should be dismantled and the issue of abortion should be returned to its rightful place in the democratic political process. 2. Roe v. Wade In Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), the Court addressed the constitutionality of a Texas statute, "typical of those that have been in effect in many States for approximately a century," that made abortion a crime except where "procured or attempted by medical advice for the purpose of saving the life of the mother." Id. at 116, 118. The seven-Justice majority, in an opinion by Justice Blackmun, ruled that the Texas statute violated the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment (which provides that no state shall "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of
law"). The Court ruled that the Due Process Clause requires an abortion regime that comports with these requirements that the Court composed: "(a) For the stage prior to approximately the end of the first trimester, the abortion decision and its effectuation must be left to the medical judgment of the pregnant woman's attending physician. "(b) For the stage subsequent to approximately the end of the first trimester, the State, in promoting its interest in the health of the mother, may, if it chooses, regulate the abortion procedure in ways that are reasonably related to maternal health. "(c) For the stage subsequent to viability, the State in promoting its interest in the potentiality of human life may, if it chooses, regulate, and even proscribe, abortion except where it is necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, for the preservation of the life or health of the mother." Id. at 164-165. Merely describing Roe virtually suffices to refute its legitimacy. One of the two dissenters, Justice Byron White--who was appointed by President Kennedy--accurately observed that Blackmun's opinion was "an exercise of raw judicial power" and "an improvident and extravagant exercise of the power of judicial review." 410 U.S. at 222 (combined dissent from Roe and Doe v. Bolton). Here are typical criticisms of Roe--from liberals who support a right to abortion: ? "What is frightening about Roe is that this super-protected right is not inferable from the language of the Constitution, the framers' thinking respecting the specific problem in issue, any general value derivable from the provisions they included, or the nation's governmental structure. Nor is it explainable in terms of the unusual political impotence of the group judicially protected vis-à-vis the interest that legislatively prevailed over it.... At times the inferences the Court has drawn from the values the Constitution marks for special protection have been controversial, even shaky, but never before has its sense of an obligation to draw one been so
obviously lacking." John Hart Ely, The Wages of Crying Wolf: A Comment on Roe v. Wade, 82 Yale L.J. 920, 935-937 (1973). ? "One of the most curious things about Roe is that, behind its own verbal smokescreen, the substantive judgment on which it rests is nowhere to be found." Laurence H. Tribe, The Supreme Court, 1972 Term--Foreword: Toward a Model of Roles in the Due Process of Life and Law, 87 Harv. L. Rev. 1, 7 (1973). ? "As a matter of constitutional interpretation and judicial method, Roe borders on the indefensible." "Justice Blackmun's opinion provides essentially no reasoning in support of its holding. And in the almost 30 years since Roe's announcement, no one has produced a convincing defense of Roe on its own terms." Edward Lazarus, The Lingering Problems with Roe v. Wade, and Why the Recent Senate Hearings on Michael McConnell's Nomination Only Underlined Them, Oct. 3, 2002 (at http://writ.corporate.findlaw.com/lazarus/20021003.html). (Mr. Lazarus was a law clerk to Blackmun and describes himself as "someone utterly committed to the right to choose [abortion]" and as "someone who loved Roe's author like a grandfather.") ? "[Roe's] failure to confront the issue in principled terms leaves the opinion to read like a set of hospital rules and regulations.... Neither historian, nor layman, nor lawyer will be persuaded that all the prescriptions of Justice Blackmun are part of the Constitution." Archibald Cox, The Role of the Supreme Court in American Government 113-114 (1976). ? "Blackmun's [Supreme Court] papers vindicate every indictment of Roe: invention, overreach, arbitrariness, textual indifference." William Saletan, Unbecoming Justice Blackmun, Legal Affairs, May/June 2005 (at http://www.legalaffairs.org/issues/May-June-2005/feature_saleton_mayjun05.msp). 5
? Roe "is a lousy opinion that disenfranchised millions of conservatives on an issue about which they care deeply." Benjamin Wittes, Letting Go of Roe, The Atlantic Monthly, Jan/Feb 2005. The defects of Justice Blackmun's majority opinion in Roe are manifest and legion. A brief review of lowlights is nonetheless warranted: ? Blackmun's rambling world-history tour of "man's attitudes toward the abortion procedure over the centuries," 410 U.S. at 117, wanders from the ancient Persian Empire to the position of the American Public Health Association in 1970 and of the American Bar Association in 1972. Yet, even apart from how unreliable and misleading Blackmun's tour has been shown to be, it fails to address squarely the most relevant history--the state of abortion regulation at the time of the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868. As then-Justice Rehnquist's dissent points out, as of 1868 "there were at least 36 laws enacted by state or territorial legislatures limiting abortion," including the Texas statute the Court struck down in Roe. See 410 U.S. at 174-175 & n. 1. ? Blackmun's opinion modestly states: "We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer." 410 U.S. at 159. But while feigning not to decide the question of when a human life begins--a question that is in fact rather simple as a matter of biology--the Court in essence ruled illegitimate any legislative determination that unborn human beings are deserving of protection from abortion.
? A critical step in Roe is the bare assertion, unsupported by any argument or authority, that the "right of privacy" protected by the Fourteenth Amendment "is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy." 410 U.S. at 153. ? In explaining the abortion regime that he was inventing, Blackmun stated: "This holding, we feel, is consistent with the relative weights of the respective interests involved, with the lessons and examples of medical and legal history, with the lenity of the common law, and with the demands of the profound problems of the present day." 410 U.S. at 165. This language openly reveals that Roe is a policymaker's balancing of considerations, not an authentic judicial interpretation of the Constitution. 3. Doe v. Bolton The same day that the Court decided Roe, it rendered its decision in Doe v. Bolton, 410 U.S. 179 (1973). As the Court said in Roe, Roe and Doe "are to be read together." Roe, 410 U.S. at 165. Doe presented the question whether Georgia's abortion legislation, patterned on the American Law Institute's model legislation, was constitutional. 410 U.S. at 181-182. Among other things, the Georgia statute provided that an abortion shall not be criminal when performed by a physician "based upon his best clinical judgment that an abortion is necessary because [a] continuation of the pregnancy would endanger the life of the pregnant woman or would seriously and permanently injure her health." Id. at 183. In the course of upholding this provision against a challenge that it was unconstitutionally vague, Justice Blackmun's majority opinion determined that the "medical judgment [as to health] may be exercised in the light of all factors--physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's age--relevant to the wellbeing of the
patient. All these factors may relate to health. This allows the attending physician the room he needs to make his best medical judgment." Id. at 192. It is not entirely clear what Blackmun's garbled discussion is intended to mean. The predominant assumption appears to be that Blackmun was construing the Georgia statute's health exception in accord with what he regarded as its natural legal meaning (or, alternatively, in a way that he thought necessary to salvage it from invalidation on vagueness grounds). Under this reading, the authority that Roe purports to confer on states to "regulate, and even proscribe, abortion" after viability is subject to the loophole of Doe's health exception. See, e.g., Women's Medical Professional Corp. v. Voinovich, 130 F.3d 187, 209 (6th Cir. 1997) ("Roe's prohibition on state regulation when an abortion is necessary for the 'preservation of the life or health of the mother' must be read in the context of the concept of health discussed in Doe" (internal citation omitted)). Because the practical meaning of this loophole would appear to be entirely at the discretion of the abortionist, it would swallow any general post-viability prohibition against abortion. Under an alternative reading, Blackmun's language should be understood merely as construing the Georgia statute and not as speaking, directly or indirectly, to the meaning of the post-viability health exception in Roe. See, e.g., Voinovich v. Women's Medical Professional Corp., 523 U.S. 1036, 1039 (1998) (opinion of Thomas, joined by Rehnquist and Scalia, dissenting from the denial of certiorari) ("Our conclusion that the statutory phrase in Doe was not vague because it included emotional and psychological considerations in no way supports the proposition that, after viability, a mental health exception is required as a matter of federal constitutional law. Doe simply did not address that question." (emphasis in original)). 8
4. Myths about Roe Myths about Roe abound, and I will not strive to dispel all of them here. One set of myths dramatically understates the radical nature of the abortion regime that Roe invented and imposed on the entire country. Roe is often said, for example, merely to have created a constitutional right to abortion during the first three months of pregnancy (or the first trimester). Nothing in Roe remotely supports such a characterization. A more elementary confusion is reflected in the commonplace assertion that Roe "legalized" abortion. At one level, this proposition is true, but it completely obscures the fact that the Court did not merely legalize abortion--it constitutionalized abortion. In other words, the American people, acting through their state legislators, had the constitutional authority before Roe to make abortion policy. (Some States had legalized abortion, and others were in the process of liberalizing their abortion laws.) Roe deprived the American people of this authority. The assertion that Roe "legalized" abortion also bears on a surprisingly widespread misunderstanding of the effect of a Supreme Court reversal of Roe. Many otherwise well-informed people seem to think that a reversal of Roe would mean that abortion would thereby be illegal nationwide. But of course a reversal of Roe would merely restore to the people of the States their constitutional authority to establish--and to revise over time--the abortion laws and policies for their respective States. This confusion about what reversing Roe means is also closely related to confusion, or deliberate obfuscation, over what it means for a Supreme Court Justice to be opposed to Roe. In particular, such a Justice is often mislabeled "pro-life." But Justices like Rehnquist, White, Scalia, and Thomas who have recognized that the Constitution does not speak to the question of abortion take a position that is entirely neutral on the substance of America's abortion laws. Their modest point concerns process: abortion
policy is to be made through the political processes, not by the courts. These Justices do not adopt a "pro-life" reading of the Due Process Clause under which permissive abortion laws would themselves be unconstitutional. 5. Planned Parenthood v. Casey In 1992, the Supreme Court seemed ready to reverse Roe and to end its unconstitutional usurpation of the political processes on the abortion question. Instead, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992), Justices O'Connor, Kennedy, and Souter combined to produce a joint majority opinion so breathtaking in its grandiose misunderstanding of the Supreme Court's role that it makes one long for the sterile incoherence of Blackmun's opinion in Roe. In Casey, the Court relied on the combined force of (a) its "explication of individual liberty" protected by the Due Process Clause and (b) stare decisis to reaffirm what it described as (c) the "central holding" of Roe. 505 U.S. at 853. Each of these elements warrants scrutiny. The core of the Court's explanation of the liberty interests protected by the Due Process Clause is its declaration, "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life." 505 U.S. at 851. This lofty New Age rhetoric should not conceal the shell game that the Court is playing. What the Court's declaration really means is that the Court is claiming the unconstrained power to define for all Americans which particular interests it thinks should be beyond the bounds of citizens to address through legislation. Even with this infinitely elastic standard, the authors of the joint opinion are not ready to assert that Roe was correctly decided. Instead, they rest their reaffirmation of Roe on an understanding of stare decisis, and of the role of the Court generally, that betrays a remarkably profound confusion. I cannot quote the full discussion, but these passages are all too typical:
? "Where, in the performance of its judicial duties, the Court decides a case in such a way as to resolve the sort of intensely divisive controversy reflected in Roe and those rare, comparable cases, its decision has a dimension that the resolution of the normal case does not carry. It is the dimension present whenever the Court's interpretation of the Constitution calls the contending sides of a national controversy to end their national division by accepting a common mandate rooted in the Constitution." 505 U.S. at 866-867. ? "To all those who will be so tested by following [the Court], the Court implicitly undertakes to remain steadfast, lest in the end a price be paid for nothing. The promise of constancy, once given, binds its maker for as long as the power to stand by the decision survives and the understanding of the issue has not changed so fundamentally as to render the commitment obsolete." 505 U.S. at 868. ? "Like the character of an individual, the legitimacy of the Court must be earned over time. So, indeed, must be the character of a Nation of people who aspire to live according to the rule of law. Their belief in themselves as such a people is not readily separable from their understanding of the Court invested with the authority to decide their constitutional cases and speak before all others for their constitutional ideals. If the Court's legitimacy should be undermined, then, so would the country be in its very ability to see itself through its constitutional ideals. The Court's concern with legitimacy is not for the sake of the Court but for the sake of the Nation to which it is responsible." 505 U.S. at 868. It is probably not possible to improve on Justice Scalia's devastating responses to the joint opinion's bizarre assertions: ? "The Court's description of the place of Roe in the social history of the United States is unrecognizable. Not only did Roe not, as the Court suggests, resolve the deeply divisive issue of
abortion; it did more than anything else to nourish it, by elevating it to the national level where it is infinitely more difficult to resolve. National politics were not plagued by abortion protests, national abortion lobbying, or abortion marches on Congress, before Roe v. Wade was decided. Profound disagreement existed among our citizens over the issue--as it does over other issues, such as the death penalty--but that disagreement was being worked out at the state level." 505 U.S. at 995. ? "Roe fanned into life an issue that has inflamed our national politics in general, and has obscured with its smoke the selection of Justices to this Court in particular, ever since. And by keeping us in the abortion umpiring business, it is the perpetuation of that disruption, rather than of any pax Roeana, that the Court's new majority decrees." 505 U.S. at 995-996. ? "The Imperial Judiciary lives. It is instructive to compare this Nietzschean vision of us unelected, life tenured judges--leading a Volk who will be 'tested by following,' and whose very 'belief in themselves' is mystically bound up in their 'understanding' of a Court that 'speak[s] before all others for their constitutional ideals'--with the somewhat more modest role envisioned for these lawyers by the Founders. 'The judiciary . . . has . . . no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society, and can take no active resolution whatever. It may truly be said to have neither Force nor Will but merely judgment . . . .' The Federalist No. 78. "Or, again, to compare this ecstasy of a Supreme Court in which there is, especially on controversial matters, no shadow of change or hint of alteration ... with the more democratic views of a more humble man: '[T]he candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the
Supreme Court, . . . the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.' A. Lincoln, First Inaugural Address (Mar. 4, 1861)." 505 U.S. at 996-997. While abandoning Roe's trimester framework, the Casey joint opinion then reaffirmed what it characterized as Roe's central holding: "a State may not prohibit any woman from making the ultimate decision to terminate her pregnancy before viability." 505 U.S. at 879. It also stated that it reaffirmed Roe's holding (which, as discussed above, apparently was to be read with Doe's malleable definition of health) that even after viability abortion must be available "where it is necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, for the preservation of the life or health of the mother." Id. In addition, it adopted a subjective and amorphous "undue burden" standard for assessing incidential abortion regulations before viability. Id. at 878. 6. Stenberg v. Carhart The Supreme Court's decision in 2000 in Stenberg v. Carhart, 530 U.S. 914, provides special insight into the Court's abortion regime. That case presented the question of the constitutionality of Nebraska's ban on partial-birth abortion. This case crossed my mind five months ago as my daughter was being born and her head was first starting to emerge. Pardon me as I briefly describe what partial-birth abortion is: It's a method of late-term abortion in which the abortionist dilates the mother's cervix, extracts the baby's body by the feet until all but the head has emerged, stabs a pair of scissors into the head, sucks out the baby's brains, collapses the skull, and delivers the dead baby. According to estimates cited by the Court, up to 5000 partial-birth abortions are done every year in this much-blessed country.
In the face of a division of opinion among doctors over whether partial-birth abortion is sometimes safer than other methods of abortion, the Court, by a 5-4 vote, deferred to the view of those who maintained that it sometimes is and invalidated the Nebraska statute banning it. I don't have much else to say about this case. I don't dispute at all that its result can reasonably be thought to be dictated by Roe and Casey. And I certainly don't contend that what partial-birth abortion yields--a dead baby--is any different from what other methods of abortion yield. I would instead merely submit that this case ought to make manifest to any but the most jaded conscience the sheer barbarity being done in the name of the Constitution in a country dedicated--at its founding, at least--to the self-evident truth that all human beings "are endowed by their Creator" with an unalienable right to life. 7. Conclusion Despite the fact that the abortion issue was being worked out state-by-state, the Supreme Court purported to resolve the abortion issue, once and for all and on a nationwide basis, in its 1973 decision in Roe. Instead, as Justice Scalia has correctly observed, the Court "fanned into life an issue that has inflamed our national politics" ever since. In 1992, the five-Justice majority in Casey "call[ed] the contending sides [on abortion] to end their national division by accepting" what it implausibly claimed was "a common mandate rooted in the Constitution." Thirteen years later, the abortion issue remains as contentious and divisive as ever. As Justice Scalia suggested in his dissent in Casey, Chief Justice Taney surely believed that his Dred Scott opinion would resolve, once and for all, the slavery question. But, Scalia continued: "It is no more realistic for us in this case, than it was for him in that, to think that an issue of the sort they both involved--an issue involving life and death, freedom and subjugation--can be 'speedily and finally settled' by the Supreme Court, as President James Buchanan in his
inaugural address said the issue of slavery in the territories would be.... Quite to the contrary, by foreclosing all democratic outlet for the deep passions this issue arouses, by banishing the issue from the political forum that gives all participants, even the losers, the satisfaction of a fair hearing and an honest fight, by continuing the imposition of a rigid national rule instead of allowing for regional differences, the Court merely prolongs and intensifies the anguish. "We should get out of this area, where we have no right to be, and where we do neither ourselves nor the country any good by remaining." 505 U.S. at 1002. As increasing numbers of observers across the political spectrum are coming to recognize, Justice Scalia's prescription in Casey remains entirely sound, both as a matter of constitutional law and of judicial statesmanship. If the American people are going to be permitted to exercise their authority as citizens, then all Americans, whatever their views on abortion, should recognize that the Supreme Court's unconstitutional power grab on this issue must end and that the political issue of whether and how to regulate abortions should be returned where it belongs--to the people and to the political processes in the states. 15

The question
The starting trio seems to be all but set, but will the Hokies be able to develop enough depth behind Tyler, Edwards and Vandyke to feel comfortable during the rigors of the season?
The star attraction
Tyler went from walk-on to scholarship player to injury fill-in to All-ACC linebacker in the last few years, seizing the opportunity to be a full-time starter last year when injuries slowed Taylor and Edwards in the offseason. Playing the mike position, Tyler was a magnet to the ball, racking up a team-high 119 tackles, tied for third-most in the ACC. That's 24 more than any returning player in the ACC. Tyler used to be a great story simply for working his way from an under-recruited prospect to a contributor at Tech. Now, he's a good story for the fact that he might have a shot at an NFL future with another solid year.
The battle
With not too much debate about the starting spots — Tyler is a given, Edwards should be a lock if healthy and Vandyke has been the whip of the future for a year now — the real battles might be for second-team spots. The Hokies are very inexperienced after the projected starters. Only Williams has gotten an extended look in spring ball, taking advantage of Taylor and Edwards being out last year. Even still, he only played 83 defensive snaps last season, so his resume as a linebacker isn't very broad. Along with Williams, a pair of redshirt freshmen — Clarke and Devin Vandyke — should get plenty of reps this spring. Other than Williams, they're the only two inside linebackers who aren't walk-ons. Defensive coordinator Bud Foster liked what he saw in them when they signed in 2012. After a year of watching, now is their first shot at making a real impression.
The new guys
It was a light class on linebackers. Moss, from Elizabeth City, N.C., switched his commitment from East Carolina, then got interest from some of the Carolina schools late in the process. He projects as a whip. Motua'puaka is best known as quarterback Bucky Hodges' teammate at Salem High in Virginia Beach. But recruiting coordinator Bryan Stinespring said on signing day that the linebacker has a "GPS on the football" and always seems to be around the play. Motua'puaka had 115 tackles and 21 TFLs as a senior in high school. Sounds like more than just a throw-in.
The wild card
There's not a whole lot to choose from here. Edwards is a former starter, so he's pretty well established. Vandyke has been described as the ideal whip linebacker by Foster so often that it doesn't seem like there's much of a chance that he won't succeed at the position. I'll go with McKinnon here. He had a legal scrape in the offseason after a car accident that briefly led to his suspension from the team. Now he's back, and Tech will need him. The whip depth is dire, with Vandyke the only other player there on the roster. A few recruitniks described McKinnon as a sleeper prospect when he signed. He'll have plenty of opportunities to show his stuff this spring.
The fact
How little experience did the group get last year? Tyler played 819 snaps, but the other linebackers that remain on the roster had just 269 defensive snaps combined (Ronny Vandyke 152, Williams 83, Edwards 23, Clarke 9, Trimble 2).

A was born in around 1742.[1] At the age of six, Agha Muhammad was castrated on the orders of Adil Shah, the enemy of his father, to prevent him from becoming a political rival, but this loss did not hinder his career.[1] Despite being a eunuch, he became the chief of his tribe in 1758. In 1762 he was captured by a rival tribe and sent to Shiraz as a prisoner to Karim Khan's court. Agha Muhammad spent the next 16 years as a hostage, until he escaped in 1779. That same year, the death of Shah Karim Khan Zand plunged the country into a series of civil wars and disputes over the succession, with many members of the Zand dynasty acceding to the Sun Throne in the space of only ten years. Agha Muhammad took the opportunity to launch a rebellion which, in 1794, succeeded in capturing Lotf Ali Khan, the last Zand ruler. Two years later he proclaimed himself Shahanshah (King of Kings).
Agha Muhammad restored Persia to a unity it had not had since Karim Khan. He was, however, a man of extreme violence who killed almost all who could threaten his hold on power. In 1795 he ravaged Georgia, a kingdom to the north of Persia, which was formerly part of the Safavid empire. In the same year he also captured Khorasan. Shah Rukh, ruler of Khorasan and grandson of Nadir Shah, was tortured to death because Agha Muhammad thought that he knew of Nadir's legendary treasures.
In 1778, Agha Muhammad moved his capital from Sari in his home province of Mazandaran to Tehran. He was the first Persian ruler to make Tehran — the successor to the great city of Rayy — his capital, although both the Safavids and the Zands had expanded the town and built palaces there. He was crowned in 1796 and founded the Qajar dynasty.[1]
Although the Russians took Derbent and briefly occupied Baku during the Persian Expedition of 1796, he successfully expanded Persian influence into the Caucasus, reasserting Iranian sovereignty over its former dependencies in the region. He was, however, a notoriously cruel ruler, who reduced Tbilisi to ashes and massacred its Christian population, as he had done with his Muslim subjects. He based his strength on tribal manpower of Genghis Khan, Teimur and Nader Shah.[1]
Agha Muhammad was assassinated in 1797 in the city of Shusha, the capital of Karabakh khanate, less than 3 years in power. According to Hasan-e Fasa'i's' Farsnama-ye Naseri, during Agha Muhammad's stay in Shusha, one night "a quarrel arose between a Georgian servant named Sadeq and the valet Khodadad-e Esfahani. They raised their voices to such a pitch that the shah became angry and ordered both to be executed. Sadeq Khan-e Shaghaghi, a prominent emir, interceded on their behalf, but was not listened to. The shah, however, ordered their execution to be postponed until Saturday, as this happened to be the evening of Friday (the Islamic Sabbath), and ordered them back to their duties in the royal pavilion, unfettered and unchained, awaiting their execution the next day. From experience, however, they knew that the King would keep to what he had ordered, and, having no hope, they turned to boldness. When the shah was sleeping, they were joined by the valet Abbas-e Mazandarani, who was in the plot with them, and the three invaded the royal pavilion and with dagger and knife murdered the shah."
His nephew, crowned as Fath Ali Shah, succeeded him.[1]

One of the best hotel experiences I have encountered.
This hotel was truly a 10 from start to finish.
Excellente qualité de l'accueil et des prestations générales. Surprise agréable quant au dossier qui m'a été remis avec cartes personnalisées (M.K in residence...) avec numéros de tel et fax privés, papier en-tête, etc... etc...
Raffles L'Ermitage is the ultimate urban retreat for those traveling to Los Angeles with a need to be centrally located. The facilities are impeccable, the staff always accommodating and the stay always relaxing. I have yet to be disappointed. The concierge was able to schedule an in-room spa treatment after hours with less than a days notice...awesome.
Excelllent service!!
Nice hotel , great location and great big rooms very high standard all round
excellent service from the moment we pulled up and they valet parked our car to our check out at 4am because we had to catch a 6am flight.the rooms were very spacious and well designed.The rooftop pool was beautiful and peaceful.
The decor was well done and the room was large. Good feng shui. Some of the staff was excellent and was very helpful.

That's enough proof for me. Texan, you are a Mexican, posing as a Texan.
You do not side with Texans or Americans. You are clearly a foreigner, trying to belittle Americans. I know what you are, now.
You think you are descended from Native Americans and you own this land. You are like lying Indians, in claiming they are first, after killing off all witnesses.
I don't buy your BS.
I do believe you are right. I have chatted with a few people on private e,mail that claims he is mexican.

Foresters escape with a 79-73 win over Purdue Calumet
HAMMOND, Ind. - The HU women's basketball team survived a late Peregrine surge to escape the Fitness & Recreation Center with a 79-73 win over #RV Purdue Calumet (10-4) Friday night to break the hosts' four game win-streak.
With this win, Huntington improves to 10-3 on the season and owns a 12-5 lead in the all-time series against the Peregrines.
The final six minutes seemed like an eternity for the Forester fans as they watched their team's 16 point advantage dwindle to four with 30 ticks remaining. After enjoying the largest lead of the contest, 71-52, with just over ten minutes remaining, Huntington's offense left the building as they only managed eight points, all from Courtney Baker, the rest of the way.
Thankfully Purdue Calumet hit a dry stretch too as neither team scored for a three-minute span before the Peregrines began chipping away at the lead before running out of time.
Amelia Recker led a balanced HU attack with 18 points as all five Huntington starters finished in double digits. Baker and Pazia Speed added 16 and 13 points respectively while Kelsey Hubble tossed in 12 and Jaclene Bonnema finished with a career-best ten points. Bonnema also made her presence known in the paint by swatting a career-high five shots to go along with eight rebounds. Recker enjoyed game-high rebounding honors with nine.
HU shot an impressive 55.9 percent from the field (33-for-59) while limiting the Peregrines to just 33.8 percent (23-for-68) on the night.
There didn't seem to be much rust to shake off from the week-long break as Coach Culler's squad came screaming out of the gates to take a double digit lead within the first seven minutes of play. The Foresters knocked down nine of their first 13 shots to race out to a 20-10 lead by the 12:44 mark with Bonnema and Baker tossing in six points apiece.
Behind ten first half points from Hubble, the Foresters built a 15-point cushion by the 6:25 mark before Purdue Calumet closed out the period with a 12-5 run to trim the lead to 44-36 by intermission.
The second half started out much like the first as HU sizzled the nets by going 7-for-11 in the opening five minutes to build the lead to 13 at 58-45 but this time is was Recker leading the charge as she accounted for ten of her team's first 12 points. Huntington spent the next five minutes building the lead to 19 before Purdue Calumet's near-heroic finish.
The Peregrines were paced by Brooklyn Short who finished with 19 points followed by Kami Graber with 15, Tierra Turner with 14 and Cassidy Deno with 10.
Huntington is back in action Saturday when they face the University of Saint Francis (Ill.) at 1:00 p.m. CST.

Iowa in control at Conference Challenge
RIVERSIDE, Iowa – Upright cornstalks and downright good golf shots are just a couple signs of the calmness falling over Blue Top Ridge on the eve of the final round of Golfweek's Conference Challenge.
Iowa's second-round 8-under 280, which turned a five-shot deficit into a four-shot lead Monday on an impeccable afternoon in Eastern Iowa, is another.
The Hawkeyes, coming off their best season of the decade after advancing to last season's NCAA Championship, avoided high numbers in atypically serene conditions to get to 8-under 568 for the tournament, four shots better than Florida State and seven ahead of first-round leader Baylor.
"Overall you can just tell they were in the moment the entire day," said coach Mark Hankins, in his third season with the Hawkeyes after leading Michigan State to multiple Big 10 championships. "I think there's a calmness about this group, and that's really helping us."
One example: Junior Brad Hopfinger's course-record 5-under 67, which gave him a two-shot lead in the individual race over Vanderbilt's Hudson Johnson, Florida State's Drew Kittleson and Jason Millard of Middle Tennessee State. It also put him in the lead group for the first time in his career.
"It's great," he said. "It's right where you want to be."
Hopinger's teammate, Vince India, who recently shot 68 at Blue Ridge Top to come from 11 shots back and win the Iowa Open, shrugged off the new record mark in jest, saying he shot his round "in a hurricane." (Hopfinger tied for 10th that week.)
Conference Challenge: Can anyone catch Iowa?
Off Campus sets the stage for the final round sprint at Golfweek's Conference Challenge.
"Usually we're out here playing in 20 mph winds," said Hankins, whose team practices at Blue Top Ridge about twice a week. "Normally out here if you miss a shot it's going in a bunker – and the bunkers are deep. If you miss a shot a little bit the wind is going to take it."
The toughest round of golf so far has been Saturday's cool and windy morning practice round. That day, India predicted the winner would come in "over par" as long as the wind kept up. Scoring averages have only improved since; the field checked in at 74.6 for Round 1, 73.8 for Round 2.
You probably can attribute that difference to how Iowa played the par-4 13th hole in Sunday's opening round, beginning with Hopfinger's double-bogey 6.
Next up was India, who stepped to the 13th tee at 4 under and without a bogey, having just eagled the par-5 12th. He then hit his drive about 6 feet off the fairway into a patch of fescue. With Hankins there to confer, India figured the lie was good enough to take a swing at it. Hankins agreed. Three shots later, India finally pitched out successfully. A three-putt led to a quadruple-bogey 8 and turned a great round into a 1-over 73, and put Iowa at 6 over for one hole. (India shot a second-round 1-under 71.)
Monday, the Hawkeyes played No. 13 in 1 under.

Photos from the second round of Golfweek's Conference Challenge, played Aug. 31 at Blue Top Ridge in Riverside, Iowa.
"Mentally, we just weren't as rusty today," said Hankins. "We did a much better job of staying in the present and just kind of keeping the emotions out of it."
Hankins' lineup still features four of the five guys that were a part of last season's postseason run, which included a fifth-place finish at the NCAA East Regional and a 17th-place finish in the finals at Inverness.
Hankins said such success has brought confidence in the form of calmness. As far as all this still air, less than 15 miles from the Iowa campus? That's just a coincidence.
"We're carrying that same calmness right now, that's what we have right now and that's really helping us," said Hankins.
"That's helping Vince make an 8 and come back and play well, and that's helping Brad shoot the number he did today," he said. "These guys trust each other and they're confident that each guy is out there battling."
Roger that, says Kittleson, who shot 69 Monday to help Florida State within striking distance for their first victory since the 2008 ACC Championship.
"We have to play well," said Kittleson, looking for his first individual victory in the process. "They're not going to hand it to us."

Check these shots out at my main website of course.
Here's a little shot I took of the labels-sans-bottles I got.
And collars I never posted earlier…
In the meantime, I've been staying in Vermont with my family for the holidays. It's so amazing up here, just a sillily idyllic winter.
Here's the backyard, the bbq grill looks tempting in this pic…
It's a balmy 5°f outside.
Excited for a new year! I think increased blog posting will be my new years resolution. Check back for new posts January 2010!

So many players I'd love to see ceremonial shifts for.
Red Kelly, Ted Lindsay, Gordie Howe, Mickey Redmond...so many I'd love to see skating in Wings jerseys but I think they're simply too old.
EDIT: Didn't Mexico City host an outdoor hockey game a few years back? I think it'll only be a few years before they do this in the NHL. Once the Winter Classic gets stale, they're going to try it outdoors in a warm climate. Once the tech catches up.
Las Vegas hosted an NHL preseason game with the rangers playing the kings. The ice actually held up really well. The main problem for that game was grasshoppers jumping all over the ice.

I'd say Bettman looked pretty upbeat about this; who wouldn't want to showcase 2 long time rival Original 6 teams on the grand stage known as the Winter Classic?
Just hope there's no lock-out, and HBO will continue the 24/7 series.

Definition of spindrift in English:
Line breaks: spin|driftPronunciation: /ˈspɪndrɪft
- 1Spray blown from the crests of waves by the wind.More example sentences
- From the dark geometrical precision of its bridge, Ghyll Beck lopes downhill in long slants of water pelting spindrift spray and flooding, pure white, across the wide flat stones at the base of the waterfall.
- It's a fine day, the sun shining but the wind blowing spindrift sharp as staples.
- Its contents smelled of Scottish mildew and stone, and spindrift, and stevedore's spilt beer, and untreated crate wood, and alien scents of faraway cargo, the wafture of seas and continents.
- 1.1Driving snow or sand.More example sentences
- Sitting on the ledge, looking up at the piles of spindrift snow just waiting to pour down my collar and into my gloves, I realized that I was maybe done for the day.
- At the top there was blue sky, but wind enough to lick fine spindrift snow from the lips of waist-deep drifts.
- The rocks were encased in crusted snow and the wind was driving spindrift across the open slopes.
early 17th century (originally Scots): variant of spoondrift, from archaic spoon 'run before wind or sea' + the noun drift.

iTunes 11 and iTunes Match
When someone figures this out, could you please post how the iCloud features work for music in iTunes 11? Can you stream your music from the cloud even if you don't have iTunes Match? If you do have iTunes Match, does the new iTunes do anything more than the previous version did?
Thanks. |

Nov 29, 2012, 03:51 PM | #2 |
Yep, all I'm looking for in iTunes 11 is a fix to all of Match's problems - missing album art, bad matches, etc. I especially want a way to re-match and to UNmatch. If this isn't there, I'm done with Match all together.

I've been getting that same 4002 error message too. I can't find anything on Apple's website about it either and it's really driving me crazy. I get it when at the third step where it uploads my music for what it couldn't match on its own. This is terrible, not to mention that it doesn't stream on iOS devices and instead downloads the entire song. I wanted to be able to just shuffle my library and instead used an entire month's data in one commute.

About MTPB |
Chairman's Message In order to promote tourism in Myanmar, the Myanmar Marketing Committee (MMC), a nonprofit organisation, is making a concerted effort with the international tourism industry. The primary purpose of MMC is to promote Myanmar as a tourist destination and benefit local communities through tourism. MMC is endeavouring to achieve this aim.
The "Mystical Myanmar" magazine is published by MMC and is filled with innovative ideas aimed at acquainting international travellers with fascinating sites and places of interest in Myanmar. Myanmar has many mystical features perfect for international travllers who love to discover exotic places and new frontiers. For cultural tours, Myanmar proudly presents Bagan, an ancient city where hundreds of centuries-old pagodas and stupas fill the landscape. Inside these buildings, mural paintings and frescos reveal Myanmar's time-honoured arts and crafts. Exploring the landscapes of Bagan will make you feel like you are travelling in a postcard. Myanmar is the world's leading country in practicing and propagating Theravada Buddhism. Although predominantly a Buddhist nation, Myanmar embraces the right of freedom of religion. Thus, temples, churches and mosques are found nestled among the thousands of traditional Buddhist pagodas that fill the land. Spiritualism and animism are also a large part of Burmese culture, and spirit and god shrines are seen on virtually every street. For those intrigued with anthropology, the many ethnic groups residing in Myanmar will provide a fascinating study. Dozens of different minority groups live in Myanmar, each with interesting and unique traditions and customs. For example, the women of the Laydu Chin in the far north cover their faces with tattoos, while Padaung women, living around Inle Lake, elongate their necks with brass rings. Learning the details of their lifestyles can arouse curiosity in those with an interest in racial diversity. For nature lovers, Myanmar's lush green woods and forests, as well as its pristine beaches, invite international travellers to enjoy the outdoors at its very best. Vast, calm lakes, meandering rivers and refreshing waterfalls enhance the beauty of the land. Trekking through the hills or plains of Myanmar, one can explore the natural habitats of the country's abundant wildlife. Snow-capped mountains in the extreme north and water sports in the blue sea in the far south await adventure seekers. Other options include white-water rafting, horseback riding and deep forest exploration to search for rare species of the flora and fauna. With its diverse terrain and pristine wilderness, it is no wonder that Myanmar is a favourite for many adventurers! Whether you interests are cultural, spiritual or adventurous, Myanmar has something for everyone. And despite the devastation of Cyclone Nargis in May 2008, all has returned to normal. While Yangon and the Delta region were hit hard by Mother Nature, the local residents, with their resilient spirit, have rebuilt their lives, and tourists are often surprised at the genuine smiles and welcoming affections of the locals. Tourism in Myanmar employs both skilled and unskilled labour forces, so visitors to the country can make an economic impact on all levels. Now, more than ever, travellers can make a big difference in the lives of the beautiful people of Myanmar. The Myanmar Marketing Committee would like to invite all international travellers to come and discover the mystical charm and natural beauty of Myanmar.

Jim Graham drops bid to join DC Children and Youth Investment Trust Corp board
WASHINGTON (AP) - A D.C. councilmember is no longer pushing to join the board of a youth nonprofit that a former councilmember used to steal from the city.
Councilmember Jim Graham said Thursday that he was withdrawing his request for a nonvoting position on the board of the DC Children and Youth Investment Trust Corp.
Former councilmember Harry Thomas Jr. was convicted last year of stealing more than $353,000 in city funds that he steered through the organization. He is serving a 3 ½-year prison sentence.
Graham says he requested a seat on the board in order to make the organization more transparent. He says he feels his message has been sent.
The group's chairman, Robert Bobb, had objected to Graham's request to sit on the board.

Why I won't be buying a Surface RT, even for $349
Over the weekend, Microsoft cut prices on its Surface RT tablets. The 32GB model now sells for $349, the 64GB model for $499.
Sorry, no sale.
On the surface (sorry), there's much to be said for a 10.6-inch tablet priced at $349 -- especially when you consider that the current-generation iPad has a 9.7-inch screen and starts at $499 (for the 16GB model). Even Google's Nexus 10 starts at $399, and that's also with 16GB.
So, yeah, from a value perspective, the Surface RT looks pretty good -- until you look a little closer. For … Read more

Tessera's inspiration comes from a long-standing family holiday tradition. Each year, one member of my family gives the others the gift of a journey to a faraway place. Tessera offers unique treasures from Peru, Turkey, Uzbekistan and Central Asia. The objects we collect enable us to bring a piece of these extraordinary cultures into our lives at home. A portion of the proceeds goes to helping children in the countries we explore.

I wear these on my commute to work and for short trips on the basis that they offer more protection than a non-Kevlar set. Not everyone will agree but they are my (already busted up) legs.
