Whisenhunt: No major changes for Ryan Lindley
Lindley saw action in his first ever regular season NFL game last week against the Falcons when he replaced John Skelton early in the game when the Cardinals had a 13-0 lead.
Whisenhunt said today that despite Lindley being a rookie, he doesn't plan on shrinking the playbook for the young quarterback.
"Not necessarily for him," Whisenhunt said. "I don't think he's uncomfortable with what we're doing from a schematic standpoint or the number of plays that we have."
Lindley was 9-of-20 for 64 yards against Atlanta, and he's trying to lead an offense that's ranked No. 31 overall and No. 30 in passing.
Whisenhunt says that if there are any changes to the play-calling or the playbook, it might be more about the offense and less about the quarterback.
"I think we're trying to do better at a lot of the things we do offensively." said Whisenhunt. "I don't necessarily think scaling back is the right thing. We're trying to do the things that we do well, better, and do more of those things."
The Cardinals remember their last matchup with the Rams this season very well. Arizona was 4-0 before getting beat by St. Louis 17-3 on October 4 -- a loss that started the current six-game slide. The Rams are also trying to end a rough stretch. They are winless in their last five games.

The comfort seats fitted as standard in the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo Cabriolet models feature full electric adjustment of fore/aft position, height, backrest angle, squab angle and lumbar support (also available at no extra cost for 911 Turbo S models).
The high side bolsters provide excellent lateral support, without restricting occupant comfort. The generous range of adjustment options on the standard seats means that virtually every driver can find the ideal position, regardless of physical build. A memory function stores personal preferences for seat position, lumbar support and exterior mirrors.
Available as a no-cost option, these mechanical sports seats offer firmer upholstery as well as higher side bolsters on the backrest and squab for added lateral support. The fore/aft position and height are manually adjustable, while the backrest is electrically controlled.
Adaptive sports seats are fitted as standard in the new 911 Turbo S models (optional for 911 Turbo models). They offer individual electric adjustment of fore/aft position, height, backrest angle, lumbar support, squab side bolsters and backrest side bolsters for maximum comfort on long-distance journeys or lateral support on the racetrack.
The additional memory function covers both exterior mirrors and all seating positions on the driver's side, except side bolster settings.
For the ultimate sports experience, choose the new sports bucket seats featuring a folding backrest, integral thorax airbag and manual fore/aft adjustment (available as a no-cost option for 911 Turbo S models). The backrest shell is made from glass/carbon-fibre reinforced plastic and has a stylish carbon-weave finish.
Unusually, the pivot points of the seat backrest are positioned high in the side bolsters, guaranteeing lateral support – characteristic of racing bucket seats – in the pelvis area too. Unlike conventional bucket seats, the folding backrest enables easy access to the rear luggage area.
As an option, seat ventilation is available for the comfort seats when fitted in combination with seat heating. Active ventilation of the perforated seat centre pad and backrest, along with passive ventilation on the side bolsters, generates a flow of air.
The rear seats are surprisingly comfortable for a sportscar. The seat backrests fold down, giving you a generous rear luggage area of 190 litres (155 litres in the 911 Turbo Cabriolet models).
Child seats with and without ISOFIX mountings can be fitted in any vehicle of the 911 Turbo model range. The Porsche Tequipment accessory range includes the necessary fittings and a deactivation function for the passenger airbag. The complete range of child seats is available from Porsche Tequipment. Please ask your Porsche Centre for details.
* Child seats must not be used with the sports bucket seats.

The road to Arlington passes by the solemn Lincoln Memorial and leads to hallowed ground: the Arlington National Cemetery. This resting spot includes the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the graves of John F. and Robert Kennedy. Arlington County is home to other symbols of US military might, including the Pentagon and the US Marine Corps War Memorial, better known as the Iwo Jima Memorial.

Not too many restaurants open around the hotel but otherwise a pretty good deal for what you pay. I would stay again for the same rate (80 plus tax).Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Fine for say in Arlington when traveling by car"
Fine - easy as long as you have a car to Arlington. Room fine, quiet, and clean. Internet very slow had to use hot spot to communicate at reasonable speed rather than Wi-FiUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Budget Friendly"
The price for DC area is very reasonable if you are looking quality place without a steep price tag. The rooms were really clean and the bed was comfortable, the staff was very courteous and friendly and very helpful. The coffee was hot 24hrs a day and it was very quiet. The Continental Breakfast could use some help but there are places close by to […] get some really good food. It was a great location and not to far from any of the main sites to see in DC. I would stay there again and recommend it to my friends. Thank you. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli

"This place is good."
I noticed the place had less than perfect reviews when I booked. I nearly choose somewhere else as a result but boy, was I wrong! Maybe it's because I have lived in several countries and traveled a lot to the point where I don't expect too much but this place is unfairly rated. This place was excellent in my opinion. I couldn't have asked for a better […] experience!! I would definitely stay here the next time I'm in town. I loved every aspect of my stay there.

This was by far my worst hotel experience (if you can all it a hotel). Motel 6 would seem like a Ritz compared to this thing. I had to stay one night there for business and it was a horrible experience. Will never stay there again. First, it took them 40 minutes to find my reservation. The front desk person was completely out of it and had no idea what […] was going on. The hallways are old and dirty and smell horrible. Room at first appeared OK, but it could have also used some vaccuming. Another guest at the front desk was complaining about bugs (hindsight, that should have been a warning sign). Although no bedbugs I saw a roach crawling on the wall in the morning. The WORST thing, however, was when somebody tried to barge into my room at 3 o'clock in the morning, who turned out to be the night manager. I could barely understand his English. He was telling me that this room was supposed to be empty. 15 minutes later he woke me up again with a phone call. I could not fall asleep again that night. I was looking for a good night rest before an early meeting next day, but instead I got a a horrible accomodation, bugs and a psychotic manager trying to break into my room in the middle of the night. This was beyond horrible. I would highly suggest for anyone considering staying there - DO NOT DO IT. even if you have to go some motel or sleep in your car.

"Fine except"
Either the room's fridge wasn't working or it wasn't a real fridge (i.e. a fake that looks like the real thing but doesn't keep anything cold).Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Good for the price"
Rooms are quite small. It was tight for 4 adults to find a way to sit at the table together even after bringing 2 chairs from another room. There is no elevator. Not a huge problem but after walking all over DC all day it would have been used. Beds were comfy and water pressure in shower was awesome. Breakfast is minimal at best and wasn't even out […] by the time we headed into town for the race at 6:30am. We had trouble getting our fridge to get cold. By day two it was good but then we left. Very steep driveway and parking is tight and awkward especially on sir of driveway. Overall good deal for the price. Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"See a friend"
It was greatUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Chose it for location"
The room was comfortable and we slept well. It is an inexpensive hotel, so we did not expect much. It is an old property, so it's a bit on the funky side. The staff was nice, and the housekeeping ladies were amazing -always hard at work for most of the time we were there.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
Room was spotlesslyclean. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Room was very tiny. OK for one person, would not recommend for more than one person. Location is very close to the Cemetery and places to eat in or take out.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Quaint yet comfortable enough"
The carpet needs replaced everywhere, our room was a little bit small, however its location was great to where we needed to go. It is near a main road yet wasn't very noisy with trees and a dividing wall between it which helped muffle the sound. There are plenty of shops nearby to buy groceries and order take out food. The breakfast wasn't amazing but […] was something including apples, apple juice, tea, coffee and muffins. The staff was quite friendly including the housekeepers, for the price, cleanliness and location, I would more than likely stay here again if returning.

"We didn't make it to the room"
The area, parking lot, and lobby felt so sketchy we decided to cancel our reservation and stay elsewhere at the last second.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Served our stay purpose"
While not a high class hotel, average, it served our purpose to visit Washington DC just fine. We stayed three (3) nights and the price was the best we could find. Breakfast is not worth much of anything, packaged danish, banana, apple, coffee and packaged juice, that's it. If you want a lower priced place to stay that is clean this is for you.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli

Location was close to public transportation. Staff was very helpful, and the cleaning staff did an admiral job on an older property. Bathroom had been updated, but carpet needs a good cleaning.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Great value"
Stayed 3 nights. Location is close to a Metro bus stop, so access to all of the DC area is easy. Clean room. Room walls are very solid. We never heard anything from other rooms or outside.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Not bad, not great"
Overall, I agree with another reviewer - you get what you pay for. This inn is small and mostly clean. The lobby and hallways are updated, but the rooms were a bit old. Our room actually only had one set of working electrical outlets, which was inconvenient.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
This is definately a no frills hotel but it is quite adequate if you just need somewhere to put your head down for a night or two while seeing the sights in Washington. I was a little disappointed in the breakfast, ........only muffins and pastries. I would have welcomed some fruit and/or a yogurt. And there was not enough shampoo for both of us to […] wash our (short) hair. Really skimpy on the toiletaries. Otherwise it was fine. I would probably use it again.

Nice Neighborhood. Very close to the metroUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
The room was a little dated but very clean. The lady at the front desk was extremely helpful with my questions about places to eat and getting around in the area. She was pleasant and took time for me. I was very impressed and appreciative.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"so so"
the rooms were very small and the beds were not comfortable. Although they had tried to do some updates they were not very successful and the air conditioning was so loud it would wake you up at night. Also thought the price was high for the area we were located in as well as the conditions of the hotel.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Close to attractions and groceries great place"
Everything was great except there were no toilet lids on toilet which made it difficult to put your clothes down before your shower..Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
I almost had a problem - the first room they put me in (202) smelled terrible - I think cat urine. But when I told the lady at the front desk about it she immediately moved me into another room. I would just feel really bad if someone was put into room 202 again and there were no other rooms available.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Clean and Affordable"
Everything in the area was very expensive, so happy to find this affordable place which was clean,Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Close To Everything"
We stayed here to be close to both Arlington and DC. The trip to Arlington Cemetery was 5 minutes, DC about the same. The hotel surprised us- it was a great value! The room was clean, the beds were really comfortable. The hotel was quiet. Breakfast was only packaged muffins and juice boxes. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to DC!Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Close to downtown Arlington but not too expensive."
We were headed to meet a group of Arab and American graduate students at a hookah bar called the Tarbouch, and I found the Inns at Virginia with your help. We could have walked to the Tarbouch from there.

This is a perfect place if you only need to have a nice clean place to sleep. Staff is very helpful and friendly and there are a couple of nice restaurants within walking distance.

"Hotel is what it is"
Like the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. This hotel was inexpensive for a reason. No pool. No play area for kids. You had to drive up a hill to get to the parking area. A/C wasn't up to speed. Beds were hard and very uncomfortable. Lighting was not sufficient. The free breakfast was coffee and pre-packaged muffins and pastries from the local […] grocery store. Staff not very friendly or helpful. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone I liked! Baca selanjutnyaUlasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli

"Good value in location close to Washington DC"
Overall, we were satisfied with our stay. The hotel was a little hard to find (tucked back from the main street). It was nice-looking, clean and comfortable and definitely a good value in that area. Our only real complaint was that the wi-fi did not reach our room. Repeated calls to the front desk did not resolve the problem.Ulasan tetamu Hotels.com yang asli
"Good hotel"
I liked the hotel, but the location is not the best, but it is good for the price that you pay. Bad experience with the breakfast... Everything sweet, nothing salty like eggs...Ulasan tetamu Expedia yang asli
"No breakfast"
The hotel was OK, except there wasn't really breakfast. We stayed there for 2 nights, and the first morning was OK with muffins, cookies, juice, some fruits, and coffee(although incredibly sweet packed muffins are not so good for breakfast), but the 2nd morning there was only cookies and coffee, even though we were there 30 minutes after the breakfast […] time started. I don't think they can say 'free breakfast' when there are only cookies. It was still cheaper in the area and hotel room was OK, but they should definitely provide better breakfast.

A retired U.S. Navy captain living near Mechanicsville died Monday when the pickup truck he was driving went off Route 234 in Budds Creek, police report, and struck several trees in a wooded area along the highway.
Stephen George Riley III, 60, was traveling east on the highway at about 4:46 p.m. that day in a 2001 Ford F150 truck when it went into a shoulder ditch for unknown reasons, according to St. Mary's sheriff's deputies. Riley attempted to regain control of the vehicle, the sheriff's office reports, but it went across the road's centerline, its westbound lane and into the woods. Riley was found trapped in the vehicle, and he died at the scene.
Riley was drafted and joined the Navy in 1971, his son said, and chose to remain in military service until 2009. He worked as an air traffic controller.
"He wanted to reach [the rank of] captain, " Stephen Riley IV said Tuesday morning outside the family's Hillville area home. "That was his goal. In 2006, he achieved it."
The Rileys moved from Virginia Beach, Va., to St. Mary's in 1995, the son said, adding that his father served at Patuxent River Naval Air Station until 1998 and then in Norfolk and Crystal City, Va. He would come home on weekends.
More recently, the retired captain worked in system operations security with the U.S. Department of Transportation at the Federal Aviation Administration's headquarters in Washington, D.C. He was coming home Monday from a business trip in Langley, Va., his son said, when the fatal collision occurred.
"He loved hunting and fishing," his son said. "He loved going to garage sales with my mom, and spending time with his family, and his grandson."
Neither speed nor alcohol were contributing factors in the crash, according to a sheriff's office release from the preliminary investigation.
The sheriff's office has requested that anyone who witnessed the crash, and has not yet provided information to investigators, do so by calling deputy William Watters at 301-475-4200, ext. 9114.

Just curious if anyone of the forums had one of these in this review: ASUS VG248QE - 144Hz vs 60Hz (DELL) in 240FPS Slow... I'm looking for a 120HZ monitor and found out about this one with low latency etc, but the color seems to be way off and wondered if playing with the settings is enough to correct the quality and calibrate everything so it looks nice to the eye. Don't really care about light bleeding. Thanks in advance.
I've got the VG278HE 120Hz monitor and it's super. Therefore, I'd expect the smaller version to be similar.
The monitor is very good for the money. Its strenght is of course responsiveness and the ability to enable lightboost (requires nVidia hardware). It is a step ahead of many 120hz monitors and you won't regret purchasing it if your main target is smooth gaming. It shines on fast paced games like quake and alike The bad thing is that it uses a cheap TN panel which will have very bad viewing angles and color reproduction and no matter how much you try to make up for it with calibration it will still be years away from IPS technogy.
I only partially agree with that. While it's true that it's got a TN panel with all the usual limitations, they have been greatly alleviated in the Asus, thus it's able to give a very nice picture indeed that can be seen quite a way off centre and still look good. I remember being surprised at how good it was when I got it. Of course IPS would look much better still.
+1 Was going to suggest looking at the xl2420t http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/benq_xl2420t.htm They are steadily dropping in price in my area, down to $350 IIRC.
I've been eyeing a pair of the Asus 144Hz 24's for this past weak. The only reason I havn't pulled the trigger yet is I dont want to buy into the Asus PR crap wagon. I feel if I'm gonna drop $600 on a new display setup I should look at comparable screens and even nicer 30" options. Still though 1ms at 144Hz should be buttery smooth for gaming. Even if they are TN panels, I'm sure you don't game with the monitor off to the side. IPS will be a brighter image with perhaps a bit better coloring, but the input lag can't be beat.
Not just that, but using the LightBoost strobe in 2D mode removes all motion blur, giving animation as good as a CRT, the gold standard. In fact, it will be better, because one couldn't normally run CRTs that fast. The effect is nothing short of jaw dropping: zero motion blur with a pin-sharp, hi res picture. Impossible on a CRT. Also, I know that other monitors exist which have a strobing backlight that aren't tied to nvidia's proprietary solution and they're even better. I think Benq might do one, I'm not sure.
I am anti Asus. They fucked me (and a tonne of other customers TBH) over big time on my last build, and i will never purchase or reccomend another Asus product. They can take their marketing/products and shove it
I have used a samsung 2233rz which recently died. I still wanted a 120hz monitor so i checked out two options: The aforementioned 144hz asus panel and the benq XL2411T which recently came out. I decided to go with the benq because it is cheaper and has the same panel as the asus. This monitor is tailored for fast paced fps games like quake world or quake 3/quake live (advanced movement + hitscan aiming). Out of the box the color calibration isn't that good therefore you need to manually adjust it. Even after adjusting the color quality is just average. The monitor stand is really neat tho, it allows monitor rotation, height and tilt adjustment etc... Regarding input lag and ghosting i can say that this monitor is the best LCD panel i have ever had (you need to properly configure the anti-ghosting and anti lag settings). This monitor also has support for LightBoost strobe in 2D mode.
Yeah, I had one of those Samsungs: about the only thing it was really good for was displaying 3D, lol. Everything else was very average and the flashing power light in standby drove me nuts. In the dark, it was like a beacon! I didn't know about that 2D strobing backlight on the benq and more importantly didn't know the benefits of it when I got my Asus, which is a really important feature and removes the proprietary tie from nvidia, so I'm starting to wish I'd gotten the benq instead, lol.
It is my contention that it's not so much 60Hz that's the problem, but rather the flaws of LCD itself. There are some fairly affordable 120Hz monitors, but I just can't wrap my head around the idea of an uber expensive GPU setup to maintain 120 or more frames and still have LCD limitations, esp those that come with TN panels.
Hi, can you please provide a link to this monitors?!?! im really interested, and i dont have a Nvidia card now
It looks like the BenQ XL2411T might do, but it doesn't say so on the website so don't assume it. It supports nvidia LightBoost which uses a strobing backlight and requires the IR emitter to be connected to the PC in order to work properly. The guy that runs www.blurbusters.com is an expert on strobing LCD monitors though, so I recommend checking out that site for a definitive answer.
It works with amd cards, but you still a nvidia gpu to enable it. Any time you cut the power of the monitor you will need to enable it again... It is not that practical for amd users atm, (at least it wasn't 2 months ago).
I use BenQ XL2411T and it's awesome. 120Hz works fine with DP and screen is beautiful. And quick panel is useful. I recommend this monitor.
Confirmed, yes, XL2411T has LightBoost. The brand new XL2420TE is the newest BENQ model however. Supports 144Hz, LightBoost, and a ZeroFlicker backlight (for non-LightBoost mode).
It is worth noting that the BENQ XL2411T uses the same panel as the ASUS VG248QE. Both are 144Hz. Historically, the XL2411T is cheaper in Europe and the VG248QE is cheaper in North America.
Just for curiosity, is there any IPS monitor which has 120 Hz or more refresh rate? And I always got good service from Asus themselves. Yes the authorized service partners maybe bad but Asus themselves were always very good and fast. I recently had a 2 year old Asus M4A88TD M-EVO/USB3 motherboard dead. Yes the service center was taking more than 14 days. But I complained Asus and they agreed to give me a credit note. I got 87.6% of my cost price back(bought for Rupees 6150, got back Rupees 5390). I think its exceptional - having said it was 2 years old. Its not Asus' fault. Here in India, they have already changed the service partner and is changing the distributor as well.
Not officially. Unofficially, there are the overclockable monitors. There's at least four different IPS / PLS models that can be overclocked up to 120Hz, as well as some speciality models, like the Catleap 2B or the Overlord Tempest, and the QNIX panels. They are listed within the 120Hz monitor list.

My husband, children (aged 4 and 6) and I stayed 01-03.11.13. We had never stayed in Blackpool before and went off ratings and reviews. It is seconds... from the promenade (about 10 minutes walk from Blackpool Tower) where parking is challenging to find but the Hotel had limited parking which we availed of. Even though located near to the promenade it was quiet and a room at the front. Ron and Yvette were extremely welcoming. The Hotel appeared to have been recently decorated and new carpet throughout. It was very clean with no smoking allowed. We stayed in a family room which wasn't massive but it was fine for our purposes as we were out all day. There was a small flatscreen TV which could be swung out so my husband and I could watch it when we were in bed. Wifi is advertised but we didn't manage to get a connection though we tried only the one (perhaps we needed to ask about how to connect?). There were plenty of fluffy white towels and a small bar of soap provided. Dietary requirements were catered for. Very good value. I'm almost reluctant to share how lovely our stay was incase we never get a chance to stay again due to being full but not to would be a discredit to Ron and Yvette!

Like I've said here and here andhere and here and here and here and etc., Americans have become far to fixated on religious representation in politics. From the blog that tells us all about God talk on the presidential campaign trail:
Mitt Romney, the presidential candidate most disadvantaged by his personal religious faith, said earlier this month that "based on the numbers of American Muslims [as a percentage] in our population, I cannot see that a cabinet position would be justified."
"But of course," Romney continued. "I would imagine that Muslims could serve at lower levels of my administration."
You can read all about Romney's remarks today's Christian Science Monitor, in a not-to-be-missed op-ed by Mansoor Ijaz, a Muslim investor who asked Romney about Muslim appointees at a fundraiser earlier this month. Here's the Romney team's response.
Ijaz does a perfectly good job refuting Romney himself, so God-o-Meter will only state the obvious. How can a presidential candidate whose Mormon faith accounts for just 2-percent of the American population rule out a Muslim in his cabinet on the basis that Islam has too few American adherents?

Well, apparently American cultural phenomenons arrive in Poland quite late. But it's still comical to think of a half-naked irreverent Jewish comedian flaunting it on a billboard above an old Communist building.
I plugged the text into InterTran and it came up with this: "wherebyprzez co ubaw, this when armpits."
Thanks to David A. Lehrer, father of Jonah and president of Community Advocates Inc., for snapping the photo.

The Philadelphia Weekly messed up on this cover image for it's holiday gift guide.
The only rodent in the entire spread is the critter on the cover.
Tim Whitaker, editor of PW, said that "it never occurred to us" that the front page could have been seen as offensive. Originally, he said, the idea was to use the dog on the sleigh as the lead image—that is, until the hamster one was presented.
That animal is the pet of Liz Spikol, the newspaper's senior contributing editor.
Spikol said that once it was decided to have "cuteness" as the theme for this year's guide, cute animals came to mind. She immediately thought of her male hamster, whose name is, coincidentally, Tinsel, and whom she described as "super cute."
But why dress him as an Orthodox Jew? Why the overtly Jewish symbols to highlight the least religious of the religion's holidays?
Spikol said that the paper's art director created the "hat ensemble" for Tinsel to wear; it was geared to be "more graphically appealing" and "to make it readable as a Jewish observance."
She added that, as a Jew herself, she doesn't find the image offensive, and she doesn't "understand why Orthodoxy would be offensive."
"I just thought it was a fun image in context of our theme," said Spikol.
A rodent as a symbol for the Jew has a long and notorious history, which becomes apparent even if you do a rudimentary search on the Internet.
Nazi propaganda throughout the 1930s—films, posters and other images—depicted Jews as rats and other vermin; the point was to portray Jews as subhuman creatures who were unclean and in need of extermination.
The rodent family is a large and varied class of animals, replied Spikol. There is a huge difference, she added, between a rat and a hamster—and hamsters, she said, were never used in Nazi propaganda.
Despite Spikol's reasoning, some are upset with the cover.
"Where did your art director receive her training?" wrote Solomon Moses in an angry letter he sent to PW and then forwarded to the Exponent. "At the Heinrich Himmler Academy of Design?"

Gary Wills, whose book "Head and Heart: American Christianities" was just published, recently had an opinion piece in the LA Times arguing that "abortion isn't a religious issue."
But is abortion murder? Most people think not. Evangelicals may argue that most people in Germany thought it was all right to kill Jews. But the parallel is not valid. Killing Jews was killing persons. It is not demonstrable that killing fetuses is killing persons. Not even evangelicals act as if it were. If so, a woman seeking an abortion would be the most culpable person. She is killing her own child. But the evangelical community does not call for her execution.
About 10% of evangelicals, according to polls, allow for abortion in the case of rape or incest. But the circumstances of conception should not change the nature of the thing conceived. If it is a human person, killing it is punishing it for something it had nothing to do with. We do not kill people because they had a criminal parent.
Nor did the Catholic Church treat abortion as murder in the past. If it had, late-term abortions and miscarriages would have called for treatment of the well-formed fetus as a person, which would require baptism and a Christian burial. That was never the practice. And no wonder. The subject of abortion is not scriptural. For those who make it so central to religion, this seems an odd omission. Abortion is not treated in the Ten Commandments—or anywhere in Jewish Scripture. It is not treated in the Sermon on the Mount—or anywhere in the New Testament. It is not treated in the early creeds. It is not treated in the early ecumenical councils.
What surprises me is not that Wills, who is Catholic, believes abortion doesn't constitute murder, but that the LA Times would publish such an ancient argument and couch it as a fresh opinion. Wills' position is one of two long held on abortion: either life begins at conception and abortion is murder or fetuses are not yet people so it's permissable.
Also just because the church had a history of doing things one way or because 10 percent of evangelicals would allow abortion under certain circumstances doesn't mean they are in line or out of line with Christian teaching.
Wills is certainly an accomplished author and historian (I can only hope to be so lucky one day); it's just that I find this argument so weak and the topic so stale. For a more compelling read on choice, look to Dan Neil.
And let me know not whether you think abortion is a religious issue, but whether it should be.

Regarding the Annapolis peace summit, which will be held tomorrow, Time magazine reports:
When Middle East adversaries meet in Annapolis this week, will it be a peace conference, or rather a conference that ends all peace? Nearly 60 years since the outbreak of the Arab-Israeli conflict, that may well be the stark choice that awaits the conference's participants.
Doomsday predictions, of course, have long been a staple of Middle East commentary. Every negotiation seems to be the "last chance" for peace. Every crisis seems to threaten the outbreak of a major war, if not the great apocalypse. But there's reason to pay attention to the warnings this time. The 1979 Camp David peace treaty between Egypt and Israel planted the seed for resolving the core of the conflict: the creation of an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Arab territories seized by Israel in the 1967 war. But if the Annapolis conference fails to provide urgently needed nourishment, the two-state solution and its hope of peace may die forever.

Saul Friedlånder, whom some have called a genius, has written an acclaimed two-volume tome on the Holocaust. It's a personal story for Friedlander, and one I'm eager to read, whenever I can carve out the time for some 1,360 pages.
Recently honored with Germany's highest literary award, the Holocaust orphan and UCLA professor was interviewed in Frankfurt by the LA Weekly. Not that revealing, but nonetheless:
You went from fighting with the Irgun [a quasi-terrorist Zionist paramilitary group] to joining the Israeli movement Peace Now. Many Germans feel inhibited when discussing Israelâs behavior vis-Ã -vis the Palestinians, while others believe that embracing Palestinian rights masks a latent anti-Semitism. Whatâs your take?
What youâre talking about is more pronounced in Great Britain or France than in Germany. Criticism is legitimate. But what bothers me at times is a shrillness that gives you a feeling that it is not only based on an analysis of policy but on some deeper emotions â I donât want to say hatred â which comes through acceptable political pretext.
What did the fall of the Berlin Wall add to Holocaust research?
A lot. The opening of Soviet archives gave us an enormous amount of new material because they were keeping for themselves a lot of German documents. Of course, it also exposed the tendency to say, âLook, we spoke enough about Nazis, now letâs see about the second barbarian system in the world, communism and communist dictatorship.â They are so concentrated on their own dictatorship experience that the past before that is already ancient history. It is often a kind of unintentional layering of the other past. So the answer is that you have to study this and you have to study that. You canât replace one with the other.
I hear people say that if fascism ever came back to Germany, it would target the Muslims and not the Jews. Do you agree?
Well, it will not come again to Germany. Of that, I am almost sure. But itâs true thereâs a kind of xenophobia and hatred, possibly more in the former East Germany than in the West, of minorities coming in, mainly from Turkey.
Do you think the U.S. is embracing fascism?
No. Thatâs Philip Rothâs book The Plot Against America, where Lindbergh was a metaphor, I think, for President Bush. I like Roth a lot and I am critical of the U.S. as well, but thatâs much too overstated.
For more from the LA Weekly's Holocaust files, there is a story in the paper this week about accusations that famed Los Angeles author Charles Bukowski was a Nazi. Sunday, LA Times book editor David L. Ulin says he was just a bad writer.

Offensive tackle Levi Brown will be traded from the Arizona Cardinals to the Pittsburgh Steelers pending a physical Wednesday.
Brown, owed more than $3.6 million, is signed through 2014. His salary next season is $6 million.
According to the website Pro Football Focus, Brown has played 269 plays and graded out poorly as a pass blocker but very well in run-blocking.
The Steelers are hoping to upgrade over Mike Adams, who had a difficult time in one-on-one matchups with Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen and hasn't been great as a run blocker, either.
Brown was a first-round pick (fifth overall) in 2007 and was with the Cardinals when current Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley held the same job in Arizona (2007-08). His learning curve should be rapid. The Steelers are entering their bye week and return to the field Oct. 13, playing the New York Jets in New Jersey.
Bradley Sowell is the projected starter at left tackle with Brown gone.

Encelade grove (restoration of the trellis work in 1997)
The first real probe in the park of Versailles was launched in the spring following the storm of 1999. It revealed the foundations of half of one side of the octagonal trellis bower. These vestiges were on view for the launch ceremony for the general replanting of the park that was held in the presence of Jack Lang, then Minister for Culture. One of the trellis pavilions had been restored for the occasion. It was only five years later that the general excavations were carried out to uncover all the foundations of the bower and those of the eight corner pools. The stone blocks that had served as the base for the trellis arcades of the bower had split when removed, but the pieces were recovered and replaced in their exact position on the masonry foundation. The layout of the trellis bower was discovered in this way.
