Geneva 2008: 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Mar 9th, 2008 at 12:34PM
Click to view the 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale in hi-res As if Alfa Romeo didn't come to Geneva with enough eye candy, sitting at the back of its booth at the Palexpo, behind the new 8C Spider and updated Brera, Spider and 159, sat a rare classic supercar, bathed in more red lights and surrounded by more mirrors than an Amsterdam window. The 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale was, for all intents and purposes, the Bugatti Veyron of its day. It was the most expensive road car available to the public. Only 18 were ever made. Its 2-liter V8 was pulled directly from Alfa's racing cars, bearing no... Read More

Cliff Avril has no immediate plans to sign the one-year tender offer the Detroit Lions made him this week, and if the third-year defensive end has his way, he won't sign a one-year deal at all.
From www.freep.com (share this quote)
The Detroit Lions gave center Dylan Gandy an original round restricted free agent tender, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.
I think it's possible that Amukamara drops to Detroit's pick at No. 13. The reason is because of two spots that always get taken higher than they should because of positional value – defensive linemen and quarterbacks.
From www.mlive.com (share this quote)
Locking out the players, the administrators, the secretaries, the concession workers, the janitors, the scouts, the trainers, the equipment managers, the parking lot attendees, the beat writers, and all of the thousands upon thousands of other people across the nation who rely on the NFL for their income? It's not the best thing for the National Football League—in fact, it's the only thing that could truly derail the NFL's incredible success.

That much needed defense finally showed up for Santa Clara.
The Broncos got back into the win column on Thursday as they beat San Diego 61-52 and moved into sole possession of fourth place in the West Coast Conference.
The win snapped a short two-game skid for Santa Clara (18-8, 6-5 WCC) moved them a half a game ahead of San Diego for fourth place, which would guarantee a bye into the quarterfinals of the WCC Basketball Championships in three weeks.
San Diego (13-14, 6-6) led 38-35 after a layup from Chris Anderson but then Santa Clara turned it around with help from its bench. The Broncos went on a 10-2 run, including six points from Brandon Clark, which gave them a 47-42 lead with 6:42 left.
Santa Clara led by as much as 11 in the final minutes.
Marc Trasolini paced the Broncos with 17 points and 11 rebounds, his seventh double-double of the season. Clark finished with 11 points.
The Broncos held San Diego to 33 percent shooting from the field and held sharpshooting Johnny Dee to 15 points on 5-for-17 shooting and 1-for-9 from three.
San Diego also committed 16 turnovers, resulting in 16 Santa Clara points.
Santa Clara will host Pepperdine on Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Leavey Center.

Bus crash in southwest Nigeria kills at least 12
Saturday - 10/20/2012, 1:32pm EDT
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) - Traffic wardens say a bus carrying women in southwest Nigeria crashed and plunged off a bridge into a river, killing at least 12 people.
Jonas Agwu, a spokesman for Nigeria's Federal Road Safety Corps, said Saturday that rescuers need a crane to lift the minibus out of the river in Ogun state. He said authorities believe 21 people were on the bus at the time of the crash Friday, with three women rescued from the site.
So far, Agwu said workers had recovered 12 bodies from the crash, with six others believed still missing. Agwu said the river's speed could have swept the corpses downriver.
Traffic crashes remain all too common in Nigeria, a nation with potholed highways and many speeding drivers.

The Best Place to Buy Quality Copper Cookware in Paris
Everyone is always asking me where to buy copper pots in Paris. And while internet shopping and the fallen dollar mean that buying copper cookware in Paris is not the bargain it once was, the act of buying copper pots is still a cherished errand for foodies on vacation who want to bring back a souvenir that will last a lifetime (and beyond).
You can find copper pots in department stores, second-hand shops and brocantes. But for brand new copper cookware, your first stop should be E. Dehillerin. A famous family-owned Paris cookware shop that has been around since 1820, E. Dehillerin is hardly a secret. But if you've never been, it's worth a trip for copper pots and other quality cooking equipment, or just a window shop. And if you're not planning to be in Paris anytime soon, you can order online via their website.

This question from reader Sarah:
I'm going to Rome for the first time in about a week. Your post on copper cookware as souvenirs from Paris got me wondering what your suggestion would be for a souvenir to last a lifetime from Rome. Thanks!
To last a lifetime, I would suggest bringing back a marble mortar and (wooden) pestle that you can use to make pesto for the rest of your days. Of course it will weigh a ton, so be sure to otherwise pack lightly!
Anyone else have ideas?
Also, Sarah, here's another Rome kitchen souvenir we covered previously:
As a loyal customer of Dehillerin I can vouch for the copper selection and quality. Just pack your bags lightly - or better yet, take an empty one with you- so you'll have plenty of room to pack your new treasures. Oh, the reaction of the airport security guys is priceless. If you have any doubt as to the quality of Dehillerin's copper, the security freaks test ALL metals and will verify the quality in the airport for free!

So, I just put this DVD in to see if it still works (it had been scratched up) & ended up watching the whole thing. I hadn't seen it in so long, but have probably seen it about 826494572097 times total. I went to see this thing NINE times when it was out at the movies in 92. My 17-year-old hormonal self got the tinglies for Costner. And who DIDN'T own this soundtrack? Ah, good times.

But when he spies the shelf of half-priced bento and reaches out for one, the penniless teen finds himself thrust into a world where the rush to get a good deal becomes an epic battle in which only the strongest survive…

About Armstrong
Armstrong Respiratory Therapy Student Earns Scholarship
(October 5, 2011) Tamara Porter, a senior respiratory therapy student at Armstrong Atlantic State University, won the 2011 James Ancil Lewis Scholarship awarded by the Georgia Society for Respiratory Care (GSRC).
Porter received the Lewis scholarship of $500 at the GSRC student meeting held in Macon, Ga. earlier this year. "It's really an honor. There were a lot of very deserving applicants," Porter said.
The James Ancil Lewis Scholarship is dedicated to the memory of Mr. James Lewis, a registered respiratory therapist. It is awarded to a respiratory therapy student currently enrolled in a University System of Georgia institution and is based primarily upon academic performance. Financial need is also considered.
Before coming to Savannah, Porter earned a bachelor's degree in kinesiology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She later earned a teaching certification in middle grades math and science from Armstrong in 2001 and taught at DeRenne Middle School until 2006.
As a returning student, she is now the president of the senior class and will be inducted into the Lambda Beta National Honor Society in spring 2012. Lambda Beta was formed in 1986 to promote, recognize and honor scholarship, scholarly achievement, service and character of students, graduates and faculty members of the profession.

Cesar dry dog food that says special coupon booklets released by the grocery store simply means that discounts on special medical diets appears to be difficult, but a lot has not been combined with manufacturer coupons. If you are looking to offer special food to your dog, the latest information is to visit coupons for Cesar dogfood. You should save you time. First off, and the best food to get some coupons is to bring in business. We keep it updated on their Web sites and we will provide you with all of a store you need on how to penetrate the market. We routinely send out the most important aspects of this learning curve. Purina coupons aren't available dog food, so you need to find them when coupons, loyalty club perks and weekly circulars posted and use them before store coupons are far less common than manufacturer coupons. We keep the product on a small finder's fee and stay up to date on the high cost of groceries for the most popular brands.
Finding them may also provide you on a budget to offer such an expensive food to your dog. Some offer other supplies for consumers that come along with the free product or provide an inexpensive option. There may even be this learning curve that rewards people who regularly buy our dogs.

For the next three days, I'm leaving my boring, everyday life behind in favor of something a little more ... alien.
Don't worry, though. I'm not planning on embarking on a hallucinogen-fueled spirit quest or headlining a pants-less dance festival. Much as I dislike pants, alas, it's nothing that exotic. No, the Chattacon convention is here again (No. 37, if you're counting), which means that, in keeping with a tradition I started last year, I'll be in costume.
Dressing up as, well ... anything, really, is one of the few accurate convention stereotypes, and people react differently to you while in costume, which adds a lot to the experience.
Over the last year, I've discovered assembling a costume is definitely an ongoing process. Since it basically consists of putting on a suit and a pair of sneakers, dressing as The Doctor off British sci-fi series "Doctor Who" might not seem tremendously difficult. It can occasionally be expensive, though, especially if you're a perfectionist.
For instance, I spent $40 last year purchasing low-top white sneakers such as those worn by The Doctor. Weeks later, I realized the ones used on the show were not only high tops but also an off-white color that's no longer in stores. To most people, that might seem a trivial detail, but geeks are definitely not most people, least of all at conventions. Nothing would do but to special-order the correct shoes online.
That's just one example. I won't even begin to try to explain how much I'm lusting after an official copy of The Doctor's signature wool coat (about $300) or a metal prop-quality replica of his sonic screwdriver (at least $70). Suffice it to say, the pursuit of perfection can quickly become an expensive one.
Even incomplete, a costume will be an excellent ice breaker with the 1,000 like-minded people expected to attend the event today through Sunday. Costuming is by no means required, however, so I'd encourage you to attend, whether in street clothes or wizard garb. A weekend pass is $50.

As part of the effort to curb the violent goings-on at 412 Market St. following a shooting there Christmas Eve, the building was locked down by the landlord, putting an end to all events there, including those hosted by The Warehouse, a music venue that relocated there from East Ridge about a year ago.
That's a shame. Despite 412 Market's reputation, The Warehouse has long been one of the few places underage music lovers could see shows. Although they have effectively been ousted, its founders aren't giving up and have initiated a Kickstarter campaign to fund a $10,000 move to a new facility.
As with all such campaigns, they won't receive their funding unless they raise the entire amount by the end of the drive on Feb. 11. There are incentives at various donation levels between $5 and $1,000. As of Tuesday, they had 66 backers and had raised about $2,500.

The Naked Brand
The Naked Brand is a story about how corporations can help save the planet one small step at a time. It's an introduction to a bright new future where companies tell the truth and work hard to create better products and a better planet.
Corporations have incredible influence on the world we live in and that's given them free reign to pollute, collude and mislead us, but advances in technology are rapidly making them accountable not just to shareholders, but to everyone. Now that we have constant access to the truth about the products we use and the ethics of the companies behind them, big brands are realizing that looking great isn't enough. It's time to actually be great.

2011 TV Review: The Good, The Bad, and The Whitney
With yet another holiday season upon us, the impending New Year poses an opportunity to reflect on the litany of pop culture triumphs and gaffes the preceding 12 months had to offer. Where to begin? It's hard to narrow down such an impressive collection of celebrity snafus and televised glory, internet phenomena and box office bombs, but one way to kick off this year's rundown of Best and Worst entries in the 2011 vernacular is to acknowledge and discuss what the world of TV had to offer.Read More

This will be the civil rights battle of our time
This will be the civil rights battle of our time
What lurks behind smiles is the perpetually unsolved mystery….
People say that you don't need to fit in. Just be yourself. Honestly this motto is one to live by. It shows you who is true and and who you can see through. You develop stronger relationships because the people you hang out with know what they are getting into and fully accept it. They will act like idiots with you in simple terms. It's good to not let people tell you who or what to be or to let them hold you back from what you are working towards whether it is who you want to be or what you want to do. If they hold you back they better get the hell out of the way because if you barrel through those restrictions then you will find people that will give you all the room you need to grow. This could take a while but it does happen you will find people that help you do what you want to do instead of holding you back. Go solo for a while and do it with a smile…someone will take notice! :D
Screw duck face!!! SMILE PEOPLE!!!!! :P n_n

An email submission for this week's Collective: Do you have any tattoos of something that inspires you?
It is not only my struggle that influences me, but the many others that have shared themselves with me. My two best friends have greater struggles than myself and any time I can bring a smile to their face I feel like I mean something. Once I saw the shirt design for Fears vs. Dreams campaign, I immediately fell in love with it. The power behind the message was so great that I got it permanently on my body, for me and others to see. Maybe it can act as a beacon to others, that here is someone who struggles too and maybe they can find refuge in that. Or can at least be aware that it can hide in the best of us.
Biggest fear is to remain but just the letters of my name.
Greatest dream is to become a story, a shelter for others to brave the storm in.

Okay, so I know I probably don't have any readers but I really don't care because this is how I vent when I really need to. I write. I don't get why the guys around here won't ever give me a chance. I have guy friends and girlfriends and they all seem to think I am not that bad but then tell me this. Why do I not get asked out and junk? I am okay by myself single and free but at the same time I would not mind someone there to hold my hand at the end of the day someone who can be my best friend and boyfriend at the same time. Also I hate math. I am not fluent in it and it confuses the heck out of me. Thank you. :D

In The Kitchen: Immigrant Workers And Restaurants
Restaurant patrons need only look up from their table to understand how much of their night out depends on immigrant labor. In an industry where one in 10 workers is an undocumented immigrant, these workers are pouring our water, preparing our meals and washing our dishes. Kojo explores where these workers fit into America's food service industry and asks what immigration reform could mean for workers, restaurant owners and diners.

Everyone that owns a car often takes it for granted that their car is going to drive well, work efficiently and function safely; as this is what we bought them for….is it not?
Well, believe it or not, cars are like us humans. They need to be kept in a good, healthy condition so that they can perform to their maximum potential at all times. They must be treated in the correct way and well looked after so to minimise the risk of failure.
Buying a car is often the 2nd biggest 'investment' people make in their lives; second to buying a property. We all look to make sure we get the right deal when purchasing a car so we must follow that up with making sure we look after our investment.
This is where making sure that you have a regular car service is so important. A simple annual service can save you time and money and allow you to get the best quality and life out of your car.
The oil in your car can easily become contaminated by the dirt that gets collected from the roads and fuel that gets brought into the system. Over a period of time, the oil also becomes thinner which in turn is then vulnerable to burning quicker, causing low oil levels which could damage the engine. Within a service, the oil is the number one priority for being replaced as such because of its importance.
Alongside the oil being changed, the main filters (oil, air & fuel) should be replaced, as again over time these become dirty and dysfunctional which could lead to further problems. These filters control the main components on what makes your engine work so it is paramount that these get replaced regularly.
Having a vehicle inspection will help let the service technicians take a thorough examination of your car and ensure that your car is in a safe, working order. Items that will get checked include the brakes, suspension, steering, clutch and exhaust systems. Basic items like wiper blades, light bulbs and seat belts will also get tested ensuring your car is operating in a roadworthy condition.
The small cost that you can pay for a service will repay you in your cars health.
It's evident that maintaining your car properly is important if we want to hold onto as much value in 'our investment' as we can. Look after you car…it will make your life easier, save you money and you can enjoy your investment that little bit more!

Self Portrait, 1790, Élisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun
The earlier frivolous Rococo style of Vigée-Lebrun slowly shifted, and in her later career she utilized a more naturalist style. In this portrait she is shown confident as the artist, painting a portrait for nobility [Marie Antoinette], remarkably different from the idle poses of the Rococo style. Note that in actuality, those would not be the artist clothes that she wore—this is an artistic account of her creative process.
This portrait also caused a minor scandal, because she showed herself to be smiling with her teeth showing, striking different from the other portrayals of female emotions at the time.
Self Portrait in a Straw Hat, 1782, Élisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun
One of many self portraits.
Portrait of Marie Antoinette, 1783, Élisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun
Marie Antoinette was so pleased by Lebrun's portrait of her that in the 6 years that followed, she would commission more than 30 portraits from Lebrun of her and her family.
Portrait of Marie Louis O'Murphy, 1752, Francois Boucher
Renaud and Armide, 1734, Francois Boucher
Boucher excelled in painting classical, mythological scenes that are rich with decorative details and allegories representing the arts. Very voluptuous.
Artwork [during this period] was regarded frequently as a kind of two-dimensional furniture. The interior of that time featured the same richness.
L'Enseigne de Gersaint,1720, Jean-Antoine Watteau
This is one of his last paintings. It shows both the portrait of Louis XIV and the artist's own artworks being packed away, implying his belief that he will not be remembered.
In 1721, Watteau created a repetition of his 1717 painting Pilgrimage to the Isle of Cythera, making it more embellished, vibrant, and sensuous.
The short artistic life (died at age 36) of Jean-Antoine Watteau, left him known for scenes of bucolic and idyllic charm, with just a hint of theatricality.
Pilgrimage to the Isle of Cythera,1717, Antoine Watteau
Fête galante paintings showed outdoor amusements of the French upper-class. The gentleness in shapes, general frivolousness, and theme of love was appealing to the Rococo taste. Cythera is the mythological land of love and eternal youth.

Westboro Baptist Church Gets In the Music Game
samzenpus posted more than 4 years ago | from the Jesus-can-read-my-poker-face dept.54
The people who picketed the funerals of dead soldiers and brought you such charming websites as "God Hates Fags" are getting into the music business with their single, "Whorish Face." The parody of the Lady Gaga hit "Poker Face" was written by Westboro Pastor Fred Phelps' granddaughter Megan Phelps-Roper. With all the trouble these people have caused already do they really want to face the fury of Weird Al?

It's true Detroit has been kicked around a lot these past few years but, after witnessing the latest installment in the nearly six-decade-old institution known as the Detroit Autorama, gearheads and hot rodders should rejoice in the fact there are still many extremely talented car builders out there who are continuing to push the boundaries and show us something new.
The 59th Autorama, sponsored by Meguiar's and presented by O'Reilly Auto Parts, was again responsible for filling the 700,000 square feet of Cobo Center in downtown Detroit to its edges with hot cars and thousands of spectators.
In addition, another 100,000 square feet of basement area was used to house the Autorama Extreme, which is devoted to traditional-styled rods, customs, and motorcycles and, for the first time this year, these folks didn't have to share floor space with the Japanese tuner cars—a fact the hard-core rodders really enjoyed. A show within a show, the downstairs group still had awards presentations and bands playing, but the type of car entered would be something you might have seen prior to 1960, and many of them were covered in flat or satin paints rather than the gloss you'd find upstairs in the "regular" car show.
Another unique aspect of the Detroit show is not a lot of other hot rod events can boast about the fact the Big Three have booths at their shows. Factory Ford, GM, and Mopar teams displayed their most recent cars, and the facility was ringed with aftermarket vendors. Back in the corner of the room (covering roughly 30,000 square feet) was the 19th annual Toy-A-Rama, which not only highlights collectible scale-model cars of every description but also racing memorabilia, custom bicycles, and pedal cars.
Show organizers also set aside special areas for the Builder of the Year, Bobby Alloway (see more of his display on page 54), the Cavalcade of Customs honoring '50s- and '60s-eras cars (and organized by customizer Chuck Miller), Artist Alley (where folks could purchase original and limited-edition pieces of automotive-related artwork), a model car contest, Drag City USA (for a look back at vintage drag racing and the cars that made it so exciting), and the Motor City Auto Art Mavens' Pinstriper's Panel Jam and charity auction (where onlookers could have something pinstriped while they waited or bid on artwork created at the show).
But most of the upstairs space was devoted to more than 600 rods and rides of all sorts, with the bulk of them being what most people would call a real hot rod (not a lot of tuner cars or '95 Mustangs). We're talking Nomads and GTOs, Chevelles, and Barracudas, and lots of cars with numbers in the name such as 442, F-100, and Boss 429.
Performance and styling have always been at the forefront of what most rodders are looking for, and the owners of some of the best vehicles with those qualifications have their eyes fixed on the show's grand prize: the Don Ridler Memorial Award. Presented to a car with "first time shown" status, the ride has to be innovative in its design, too, which is something some hopeful car owners fail to produce. Nice-looking cars aside, this is the Ridler award, and therefore it has to be exceptional.
Of the hopefuls who believe they have a chance to win, eight finalists (called the Pirelli Great 8) are named and just one of them will be the recipient of the Ridler. Pirelli sponsors the Great 8 and, just for being named to that exclusive list you receive $1,000 and a commemorative jacket. The Pirelli Great 8 list is usually announced after the first day and those named have to wait until Sunday afternoon to find out who wins.

The easy to install water purification system kills all pathogens and makes drinking water safe without the use of chemicals. In developing countries, poor water quality is the most common cause of health problems. Eighty percent of all diseases in developing countries are caused by contaminated water.
One of the serious diseases that are transmitted via contaminated drinking water include:
* Cholera, a highly contagious and lethal bowel disease
* Typhoid, bacteria caused by the production of toxins by salmonella
* Hepatitis A, an infection of the liver resulting in jaundice
* Dysentery, an acute intestinal disease often resulting in death

No. 05-1101
In the Supreme Court of the United States
Solicitor General
Counsel of Record
Department of Justice
Washington, D.C. 20530-0001
(202) 514-2217
In the Supreme Court of the United States
No. 05-1101
Unlike the respondent in United States v. Resendiz- Ponce, No. 05-998, respondent in this case contends that the question whether the omission of an element of a criminal offense from a federal indictment can constitute harmless error does not warrant this Court's review. That contention lacks merit. As discussed in greater detail in the government's petitions in this case and in Resendiz-Ponce, the Ninth Circuit's rule that the omis sion of an offense element from a federal indictment necessitates automatic reversal conflicts with decisions from numerous other circuits and is inconsistent with this Court's decisions. For that reason, the petition in Resendiz-Ponce should be granted. Respondent offers no valid argument why the Court should grant plenary review in this case rather than (or in addition to) Resendiz-Ponce. Because this case is a less suitable vehicle for resolution of the question on which the cir cuits are divided, but because the resolution of that question will have a bearing on the ultimate outcome of this case, the petition in this case should be held pending the disposition of Resendiz-Ponce.
1. Respondent first contends (Br. in Opp. 8-14) that the Ninth Circuit's rule is consistent with this Court's decisions. That contention is unsound.
a. Respondent primarily relies (Br. in Opp. 9-10) on this Court's decisions in Stirone v. United States, 361 U.S. 212 (1960), and Russell v. United States, 369 U.S. 749 (1962). In Stirone, the Court held that a defendant was deprived of his Fifth Amendment right to indict ment by grand jury when the government proved an element at trial in a way that departed from the way the element was alleged in the indictment. The Court de clined to treat the deviation from the indictment as harmless error. 361 U.S. at 217. In Russell, the Court held that a defendant was similarly deprived of his right to indictment by grand jury when the indictment alleged the elements of the underlying offense, but was insuffi ciently specific with regard to one of the elements. The Court again refused to subject the error to harmless- error analysis. 369 U.S. at 770. Both Stirone and Rus sell, however, were decided before the Court definitively held, in Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18 (1967), that constitutional errors could be subject to harmless-error analysis. Moreover, neither Stirone nor Russell in volved the omission of an offense element from the in dictment. Stirone and Russell are thus inapposite here.
b. Respondent next attempts to distinguish (Br. in Opp. 11-13) this Court's more recent decisions in Neder v. United States, 527 U.S. 1 (1999), and United States v. Cotton, 535 U.S. 625 (2002). As to Neder, re spondent suggests only that the Court's holding is "in applicable to a trial court's denial of a motion to dismiss a grand jury indictment which does not recite an essen tial element of the offense." Br. in Opp. 13. Respon dent, however, provides no explanation why the omission of an offense element from the indictment should be immunized from harmless-error analysis when the omis sion of an offense element from the jury's instructions is not. If anything, for the reasons stated in the petition in Resendiz-Ponce (at 11-13), the type of omission at issue here constitutes a far weaker candidate for auto matic reversal than the type of omission in Neder.
As to Cotton, respondent correctly notes (Br. in Opp. 11) that "the defendant failed to object to the sufficiency of the indictment prior to trial or even on the district court level." That fact, however, simply explains why the claim at issue was subject to plain-error, rather than harmless-error, review. And respondent does not dis pute that the Court's holding in Cotton-that the omis sion of a sentence-enhancing fact from the indictment did not constitute reversible plain error because it did not seriously affect the fairness, integrity, or public rep utation of judicial proceedings, see 535 U.S. at 632- 633-at a minimum strongly suggests that any such er ror is not structural either, in that a structural error is one that "necessarily render[s] a criminal trial funda mentally unfair or an unreliable vehicle for determining guilt or innocence." Neder, 527 U.S. at 9. Cotton thus reinforces the conclusion that the omission of an offense element from a federal indictment is amenable to harmless-error analysis.
c. Respondent further notes (Br. in Opp. 13) that, in Vasquez v. Hillery, 474 U.S. 254 (1986), and Ballard v. United States, 329 U.S. 187 (1946), this Court held that discrimination in the selection of grand jurors consti tutes structural error. This Court, however, has not embraced the broader proposition that a court can never conduct harmless-error review by asking whether a grand jury would have found a particular fact. To the contrary, in United States v. Mechanik, 475 U.S. 66 (1986), the Court held that errors in grand-jury proceed ings can be assessed for harmlessness, id. at 70-and distinguished Vasquez on the ground that it rested on the view that "discrimination in the selection of the grand jury is so pernicious, and other remedies so im practical, that the remedy of automatic reversal was nec essary." Id. at 71 n.1. And the Court further held that, in evaluating whether an error at the grand-jury stage is in fact harmless, a reviewing court is not limited to considering the transcripts of grand-jury proceedings (as respondent suggests, see, e.g., Br. in Opp. 10-11, 22), but may appropriately consider the entire record, in cluding the petit jury's subsequent verdict. 475 U.S. at 70.
2. Respondent next contends (Br. in Opp. 16-24) that the Ninth Circuit's rule does not conflict with the deci sions of other circuits. That contention, too, is mistaken.
a. Respondent claims (Br. in Opp. 16) that "[n]ine of the eleven other circuits have addressed whether a de nial of a timely motion to dismiss a defective indictment is reversible error when grand jury transcripts are not available" and that "[a]ll nine circuits have unanimously concurred with the decision below." Only the Third Cir cuit, however, has unambiguously held that the omission of an offense element from a federal indictment requires automatic reversal. See United States v. Spinner, 180 F.3d 514, 515-516 (1999). In decisions cited by respon dent (Br. in Opp. 17), the Second and Fourth Circuits seemingly reached the same result. See United States v. Tran, 234 F.3d 798, 809 (2d Cir. 2000); United States v. Hooker, 841 F.2d 1225, 1231-1232 (4th Cir. 1988). Those decisions, however, relied on the proposition that a defective indictment deprives the convicting court of jurisdiction to enter judgment-a proposition that this Court subsequently rejected in Cotton, see 535 U.S. at 629-631, and a proposition that both circuits have since (either explicitly or implicitly) rejected as well, see United States v. Cordoba-Murgas, 422 F.3d 65, 71 n.6 (2d Cir. 2005); United States v. Higgs, 353 F.3d 281, 304- 307 (4th Cir. 2003), cert. denied, 543 U.S. 999 (2004). Of the remaining six circuits discussed by respondent, the D.C. Circuit merely reserved the question, see United States v. Pickett, 353 F.3d 62, 68 (2004), and the cited decisions from the other five circuits all involve the dis crete question whether, as in Stirone, there has been a constructive amendment of the indictment requiring automatic reversal. See, e.g., United States v. Nunez, 180 F.3d 227, 230-232 (5th Cir. 1999); United States v. Leichtnam, 948 F.2d 370, 374-381 (7th Cir. 1991); United States v. Keller, 916 F.2d 628, 632-636 (11th Cir. 1990), cert. denied, 499 U.S. 978 (1991); United States v. Ford, 872 F.2d 1231, 1234-1237 (6th Cir. 1989); United States v. Yeo, 739 F.2d 385, 386-387 (8th Cir. 1984). Apart from Spinner, therefore, none of the decisions cited by respondent validly implicates the question pre sented here.
b. Respondent suggests (Br. in Opp. 20-23) that, apart from United States v. Allen, 406 F.3d 940 (8th Cir. 2005), petition for cert. pending, No. 05-6764 (filed Sept. 29, 2005), all of the assertedly conflicting decisions of other circuits are distinguishable on the ground that they "address the validity of an indictment that has been challenged for the first time after conviction or appeal" (Br. in Opp. 20). Were it true that those cases involved objections that had not been properly preserved before the trial court, those courts would have erred to the ex tent that they applied harmless-error, rather than plain- error, review. Contrary to respondent's assertions (id. at 20-21), however, in all but one of those cases, it is questionable whether the defendant did fail to preserve an objection below. In one case, the defendant actually filed a motion to dismiss the indictment. See United States v. Cor-Bon Custom Bullet Co., 287 F.3d 576, 578 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 537 U.S. 880 (2002). In another, the error was noted before trial began; although the defendant elected to proceed without a superseding in dictment, he did file a post-verdict motion for a new trial, citing the indictment error. See United States v. Trennell, 290 F.3d 881, 884-885 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 537 U.S. 1014 (2002). And in three others, the opinions of the courts of appeals are simply silent as to how the defendant preserved his objection. See United States v. Robinson, 367 F.3d 278 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 543 U.S. 1005 (2004); Higgs, supra; United States v. Corporan- Cuevas, 244 F.3d 199 (1st Cir.), cert. denied, 534 U.S. 880 (2001). In the only case to the contrary, the defen dant did not timely object in the district court, but the court of appeals ultimately concluded that that fact was irrelevant because harmless-error analysis was always applicable to the omission of an offense element from a federal indictment. See United States v. Prentiss, 256 F.3d 971, 983, 985 n.12 (10th Cir. 2001) (en banc). Be cause all of those decisions applied harmless-error analysis-and held that the omission of an offense ele ment (or sentence-enhancing fact) does not constitute structural error-they plainly conflict with the rule reaf firmed by the decision below.
3. Finally, respondent suggests (Br. in Opp. 24-25) that it would be inappropriate to hold this case pending the disposition of Resendiz-Ponce because the govern ment engaged in "gamesmanship" by ensuring that the petition in this case was filed after the petition in Resendiz-Ponce. That allegation is entirely without merit. The panel in Resendiz-Ponce issued its decision on October 11, 2005, and the en banc court denied the petition for rehearing in this case on October 31, 2005 (20 days later). After the en banc court refused to grant rehearing on the question presented in this case, the government decided not to file what would surely have been a futile petition for rehearing en banc in Resendiz- Ponce, and instead filed a petition for certiorari in this Court on February 8, 2006-and filed its petition for certiorari in this case on February 28, 2006 (again, 20 days later).
More generally, respondent does not deny that Resendiz-Ponce constitutes a better vehicle for this Court's review, insofar as it presents the broader (and more frequently recurring) question whether the omis sion of an offense element from a federal indictment can be harmless, rather than the question whether the omis sion of an offense element both from the indictment and from the jury's instructions can be harmless. Nor does respondent dispute that the Court's answer to the for mer question will at least shed significant light on the correct answer to the latter. The appropriate disposi tion in this case is thus to hold the petition for Resendiz- Ponce.
* * * * *
For the foregoing reasons and those stated in the petition, the petition for a writ of certiorari should be held pending this Court's disposition of United States v. Resendiz-Ponce, No. 05-998, and then disposed of ac cordingly.
Respectfully submitted.
Solicitor General
