Doctoral Research Fellowship in Speciation Genetics A PhD position is available at the Department of Biosciences (IBV), Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo (UiO). The PhD project is part of a larger research program on the 'Evolvability of genomic architecture during hybrid speciation'. Far from being an evolutionary dead end, hybridization may even generate lineages that can speciate even under the most constraining of conditions. The Italian sparrow (Passer italiae) is the first documented case of hybrid speciation in birds (Hermansen et al. 2011). This hybrid species originated from past events of hybridization between two divergent parental species, the house sparrow (P. domesticus) and the Spanish sparrow (P. hispaniolensis) some thousands of years ago. The Italian sparrow is both phenotypically and genetically variable across the Italian peninsula and its genome is a composite mosaic of DNA from both parentspecies' genomes. But little is known about the consequences of such major genomic rearrangements on the evolutionary potential of hybrid species and how hybridization in general may favor novel evolutionary trajectories. This project integrates ecological and molecular approaches to develop an understanding of the evolution of genomic architecture during hybridization events and its evolutionary implications, using the Italian sparrow as the model system. The successful candidate will be allowed to choose aspects of the evolutionary genetics and genomics of the larger study as best fits her/his skills and research interests. She/he will also be encouraged to develop additional, complementary avenues of research. Interested candidates should have a Master degree or equivalent in a relevant field of biology, such as in genetics, genomics and/or bioinformatics. Documented knowledge in evolutionary biology is required. A good command of English and laboratory experience is likewise required. In addition, a special interest in the field of speciation and previous fieldwork or bird handling experience would be advantageous. The position is affiliated with the Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES), and research will be conducted in close collaboration with Prof. Saetre and his group at CEES. The research team will also include other scientists from Norway, the US and Switzerland. The working language will be English. Fieldwork may be conducted at a variety of locations, including Norway, Italy and other Mediterranean countries. The appointment is for 3 years, but may be extended to 4 years conditional on 25% teaching obligations and approval from the Department of Biosciences. Candidates interested in a 4-year position should state so, in which case previous teaching experience would be considered a merit. Application deadline: Octiber 31st Expected starting date: January-February 2015 Informal enquiries can be made to Fabrice Eroukhmanoff and Glenn-Peter Saetre: firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com For more information and how to apply: http://bit.ly/1qaNo3A Fabrice Eroukhmanoff Research Fellow Department of Biosciences, CEES University of Oslo Norway firstname.lastname@example.com Fabrice Eroukhmanoff via Gmail
Dear all, I am a historian of scientific thought. My research focuses on Neo-Lamarckian evolutionary principles. There has been a lot of recent work in this regard, what with epigenetic mechanisms and the like. I am currently revising a manuscript and seeking input from the broader evolutionary biology community. Basically, the central thesis is that Darwin and Wallace were wrong and that their work should be re-evaluated. The main issue is that the ideas of both Darwin and Wallace were due to work conducted on islands, and it is a well-known fact that evolution on islands is dominated by the forces of drift. Moreover, since most work predating the work of Darwin and Wallace was conducted in mainland European populations, it would have behooved them to stick to what others have been studying. I think this would clearly have been more relevant to the scientific community at the time. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions on these ideas. Sincerest regards, Charlie Dawson firstname.lastname@example.com via Gmail
Recovering species demographic history from multi-model inference: the case of a Neotropical savanna tree species
Background: Glaciations were recurrent throughout the Quaternary and potentially shaped species genetic structure worldwide by affecting population dynamics. Here, we implemented a multi-model inference approach to recover the distribution dynamics and demographic history of a Neotropical savanna tree, Tabebuia aurea (Bignoniaceae). Exploring different algorithms and paleoclimatic simulations, we used ecological niche modelling to generate alternative hypotheses of potential demographic changes through the last glacial cycle and estimated genetic parameters using coalescent modelling. Results: Comparing predictions from demographic hypotheses with genetic parameters of modern populations, our findings revealed a likely scenario of population decline, with spatial displacement towards Northeast Brazil from the last glacial maximum to the mid-Holocene. Subsequently, populations expanded in response to the return of the climatically suitable conditions in Central-West Brazil. Nevertheless, a wide historical refugium across Central Brazil likely maintained large populations connected throughout time. The expected genetic signatures from such predicted distribution dynamics are also corroborated by spatial genetic structure observed in modern populations. Conclusion: By exploring uncertainties inherent in multiple working hypotheses, we have shown that multi-model inference is a fruitful and efficient approach to recover the nature, timing and geographical context of the Tabebuia aurea population dynamic in response to the Quaternary climate changes.

Large phylogenies are being built today to study virus evolution, trace the origin of epidemics, establish the mode of transmission and survey the appearance of drug resistance. However, no tool is available to quickly inspect these phylogenies and combine them with extrinsic traits (e.g. geographic location, risk group, presence of a given resistance mutation), seeking to extract strain groups of specific interest or requiring surveillance.

Background: Although the genetic heritage of aboriginal Siberians is mostly of eastern Asian ancestry, a substantial western Eurasian component is observed in the majority of northern Asian populations. Traces of at least two migrations into southern Siberia, one from eastern Europe and the other from western Asia/the Caucasus have been detected previously in mitochondrial gene pools of modern Siberians. Results: We report here 166 new complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences that allow us to expand and re-analyze the available data sets of western Eurasian lineages found in northern Asian populations, define the phylogenetic status of Siberian-specific subclades and search for links between mtDNA haplotypes/subclades and events of human migrations. From a survey of 158 western Eurasian mtDNA genomes found in Siberia we estimate that nearly 40% of them most likely have western Asian and another 29% European ancestry. It is striking that 65 of northern Asian mitogenomes, i.e. ~41%, fall into 19 branches and subclades which can be considered as Siberian-specific being found so far only in Siberian populations. From the coalescence analysis it is evident that the sequence divergence of Siberian-specific subclades was relatively small, corresponding to only 0.6-9.5 kya (using the complete mtDNA rate) and 1–6 kya (coding region rate). Conclusions: The phylogeographic analysis implies that the western Eurasian founders, giving rise to Siberian specific subclades, may trace their ancestry only to the early and mid-Holocene, though some of genetic lineages may trace their ancestry back to the end of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). We have not found the modern northern Asians to have western Eurasian genetic components of sufficient antiquity to indicate traces of pre-LGM expansions.

Dear Colleagues (with apologies for duplicate postings): *PLEASE DISTRIBUTE TO OTHER LISTS AS YOU THINK APPROPRIATE*: I am asking for help in locating active tissue/cell line cryopreservation programs for endangered species. The extant population of the Catarina Pupfish, *Megupsilon apodus*, now consists solely of two males at the Dallas aquarium; the single known natural population was wiped out in the 1990$B!G(Bs. The species is essentially already extinct. I have been trying to find a program that would be interested in establishing and preserving cell lines or even simply storing tissue samples from one or both of the last surviving individuals. I thought I had located one such program associated with the San Diego zoo. What follows is the text of an e-mail I sent that program on 6 October: $B!H(BSan Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research 15600 San Pasqual Valley Road Escondido, California 92027 The unique $B!H(BCatarina Pupfish,$B!I(B *Megupsilon aporus*, is now effectively extinct, because the captive refugium population previously maintained by the Dallas Aquarium now consists of two males and 0 females. The single known natural population, confined to a single spring in central Mexico, was wiped out in the early 1990$B!G(Bs when the habitat was completely destroyed, and the two Dallas individuals are the last representatives of the species on the planet. I am therefore asking if your $B!H(Bfrozen zoo$B!I(B program would be interested in adding biological material from *M. apodus* to your collection. Assuming that is the case, I would appreciate it if you would let me know the steps that need to be taken so that this may be accomplished. I am not well versed in tissue culture and related techniques, but I suspect that the technology does exist to derive cell lines from the extant animals and cryopreserve them. Put more simply, we need to know just what to do next. It is my understanding that the surviving two *M. apodus* males will shortly be in the possession of Dr. Chris Martin at Berkeley. He is planning to attempt to hybridize them with females of a related species, *Cyprinodon alverezi *(which has been accomplished by others in the past*) *and hopes to eventually to use new genome editing tools to selectively remove the *C. alverezi* genes from the hybrid lineage. I believe that it will very likely be possible for him to take tissue samples (perhaps from fin clips) from one or both males that could be used to initiate cell lines. Among the many ways in which *M. apodus* is unusual or unique is its multiple sex chromosome system, which was the first example to be described in vertebrates. While similar systems have subsequently been described in other fish species, the enormous Y chromosome of *M. apodus* has no known equivalent, and it should be of great interest to students of sex chromosome evolution. Even if the species itself cannot be restored by contemporary conservation efforts, it would be extremely worthwhile to preserve its cells so that its Y chromosome will be available to cytogeneticists in the future. $B!H(B This e-mail has thus far elicited no response. While I do realize that only a few days have passed since I sent it, I would have thought that the obvious urgency of the situation would have merited at least a formal acknowledgement of receipt. I am concerned that my information may not be correct, or that I addressed it to the wrong person, and that precious time may be wasted. Consequently, I$B!G(Bm asking for help in locating other programs and/or finding the proper routes to approach them, or in networking that might lead to these goals.

Phylodynamic methods are widely used to estimate demographic parameters and historical population dynamics from genealogies of individuals sampled from a population. In this phyloseminar, I will describe how we can understand genealogies in terms of basic demographic or ecological processes, and how these concepts can be used to develop statistical models for inference. In particular, I will discuss some similarities and differences between the two main modeling frameworks in phylodynamics: the coalescent and birth-death models. I will also briefly introduce some of the latest statistical methods currently used to fit these models to genealogies. I will end by discussing one of the main challenges facing the field---adequately representing the structure of complex, heterogenous populations in phylodynamic models.

Ecological niche and phylogeography elucidate complex biogeographic patterns in Loxosceles rufescens (Araneae, Sicariidae) in the Mediterranean Basin
Background: Understanding the evolutionary history of morphologically cryptic species complexes is difficult, and made even more challenging when geographic distributions have been modified by human-mediated dispersal. This situation is common in the Mediterranean Basin where, aside from the environmental heterogeneity of the region, protracted human presence has obscured the biogeographic processes that shaped current diversity. Loxosceles rufescens (Araneae, Sicariidae) is an ideal example: native to the Mediterranean, the species has dispersed worldwide via cohabitation with humans. A previous study revealed considerable molecular diversity, suggesting cryptic species, but relationships among lineages did not correspond to geographic location. Results: Delimitation analyses on cytochrome c oxidase subunit I identified 11 different evolutionary lineages, presenting two contrasting phylogeographic patterns: (1) lineages with well-structured populations in Morocco and Iberia, and (2) lineages lacking geographic structure across the Mediterranean Basin. Dating analyses placed main diversification events in the Pleistocene, and multiple Pleistocene refugia, identified using ecological niche modeling (ENM), are compatible with allopatric differentiation of lineages. Human-mediated transportation appears to have complicated the current biogeography of this medically important and synanthropic spider. Conclusions: We integrated ecological niche models with phylogeographic analyses to elucidate the evolutionary history of L. rufescens in the Mediterranean Basin, with emphasis on the origins of mtDNA diversity. We found support for the hypothesis that northern Africa was the center of origin for L. rufescens, and that current genetic diversity originated in allopatry, likely promoted by successive glaciations during the Pleistocene. We corroborated the scenario of multiple refugia within the Mediterranean, principally in northern Africa, combining results from eight atmosphere?ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs) with two different refugium-delimitation methodologies. ENM results were useful for providing general views of putative refugia, with fine-scale details depending on the level of stringency applied for agreement among models.

Toshiba Corp. and NEC Corp. announced plans to launch appliances in 2005 for High- Definition (HD) DVD, an optical disc which the companies claim can store six times more data than a current DVD, or digital versatile disc, and can record more than 8 hours of high-resolution movies.
In a bid to compete with Blu-ray Disc, an optical disc format being promoted by a group of companies including Sony Corp. and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Toshiba said it will launch HD DVD players and recorders in next year. NEC said it plans to release HD DVD drives for personal computers.
Matsushita Electric Industrial, which has developed a 50 G single-side, dual-layer Blu-ray Disc, said it will launch Blu-ray Disc recorders 2 weeks before the opening Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.
In step with Toshiba's launch of HD DVD players, Pony Canyon Inc., an audio and video software developer affiliated with Fuji Television Network Inc., will release movie software in the HD DVD format in 2005. (Forbes)

Dear Editor,
The Kansas Wetlands Education Center will postpone the Crane Tour scheduled for today due to lower than expected numbers of cranes. The new date is Saturday, November 1, at 5:30 p.m. Call the KWEC at 1-877-243-9268 to register for the tour – space is available in the KWEC's van, or participants are welcome to follow in their own vehicles to crane viewing sites.
The Region VI Championships lived up to its billing. Several ranked teams battled it out for the region title while Barton standout Lydia Mato did her thing in winning the meet.
It was a region stacked with ranked teams – three in the Top 10 and five in the Top 20. After placing near the bottom last season the improvement was vast this season. Especially consider that Barton standout Samson Laari nearly won the meet, taking second by the narrowest of margins.
Dear Editor,
It's time for the Big 1st District of Kansas to have a representative who actually represents the people of the Big 1st District. Someone who will listen to their concerns and work across the aisle to effect change. It's time for a representative with a positive attitude and who will present a positive image of Kansas and her citizens. It's time for a representative with knowledge of the history of Kansas. Someone who understands that small towns with their local schools and factories, industries from aviation to beef packing to farming to tourism to the arts, our ...

Domenicali calm after maximizing Canada result
Jun 12, 2013, 1:00 PM EDT
Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali was reflective and calm after the team maximized the result it could get from the Canadian Grand Prix.
Fernando Alonso did everything to ensure second place was on the cards from sixth on the grid, while Felipe Massa recovered from his qualifying crash to score four points for eighth place.
All things considered, it could have been much worse, Domenicali told Sky Sports in a Q&A.
"But when you have such a strong qualifying, then you can have this situation," he said of Sebastian Vettel's domination over the weekend. "Of course this was not the case for us because when you are stuck behind you cannot attack and second was really all we could do."
Alonso ran the Pirelli tires flat out in Spain, needing to make four pit stops, and left his rivals in the dust. But in Montreal, at least two stops were the norm and Paul di Resta even completed the race on just one, with a switch from the mediums to the supersofts.
"That is the funny thing about Formula 1," Domenicali noted. "I remember some teams were keen to change something many days ago, but now it seems perfect. You know my style, stay cool and relaxed and not overreact after a session.
"This is part of this game and it is something for our engineers to understand – sometimes we understand it better than the others, sometimes it is the other way round – but this is the challenge we have to face this year."
Although Domenicali said the Ferrari needs to improve on pure pace – it still trails the Red Bull – he doesn't wish any ill will on the German, at least publically, for Alonso to close the 36-point gap heading into the summer stretch of races back in Europe.
"For sure if it happened I would not be crying, but because I am a sporting man I would not wish him to have problems. I believe that he has been very consistent up until now, but this year things can change very quickly – if he has a difficult race then things can change again."

Sherman & Howard hires Paul Hastings' Wymer to head new Atlanta office
Send this to a friend
- Dave Williams
- Staff Writer- Atlanta Business Chronicle
A leading law firm in the Rocky Mountain region is setting up shop in Atlanta, Sherman & Howard LLC announced Monday.
Heading up the firm's first office in the Southeast will be labor and employment lawyer John F. Wymer III, who is moving over from Paul Hastings LLP, where he was a partner in the Employment Law practice at the firm's Atlanta office.
"We are pleased to welcome John to Sherman & Howard," said R. Michael Sanchez, managing partner at the Denver-based firm. "Our partners have had the opportunity to work closely with John on both shared client matters and pro-bono work, and I am confident that he will bring a tremendous amount of knowledge, expertise and value to our labor and employment clients nationwide."
Wymer has represented clients across the country from small businesses to Fortune 100 companies. His areas of experience include class action lawsuits, employment discrimination cases, non-compete and trade secret litigation, sexual harassment claims, arbitrations and collective bargaining.
Sherman & Howard has 180 attorneys working out of 11 offices in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Missouri and now Georgia.
Its Labor and Employment practice includes more than 25 attorneys licensed to practice in the federal courts and 13 states.

Dolce&Gabbana Makeup's new sparkling Sicilian Jewels collection for the Christmas period- a perfect way to update your look for the party season or a precious gift to bestow to someone you love.
Adorn yourself
with Sicilian Jewels
this Christmas
The inspiration of the Dolce&Gabbana Fall Winter 2014 collection is beautifully reinterpreted in a dazzling collection of nail polishes and lipsticks dubbed as the Sicilian Jewels collection by Dolce&Gabbana Makeup.
Flashes of the golden Byzantine mosaics and the incredible jewellery that lit up the catwalk are translated into unique makeup. Though jewels are a key element in the Fall Winter 2014 collection Stefano Gabbana explains that they are a long standing element of the Dolce&Gabbana DNA.
" I love jewels: they are symbol of power and passion. I love how they reflect the light: that's why they have always been a part of our collections since the very beginning. We adorn with gems our accessories, our corsetry, everything like in our latest Winter collection, which is the ultimate expression of what jewellery means for us.
The Sicilian Jewels collection features four new and unique shades: amethyst, ruby, emerald and topaz. The collection is made up of a striking lips and nails palette that fuses Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's direct inspiration from the Sicilian universe and its medieval and baroque influences with more Anglo-Saxon clues. It also references the highly expressive, pigment led makeup which is the defining talent of Pat McGrath.
"Matching your lipstick to your nail lacquer is a hot makeup trend. We chose four new shades that showcase the theatrical and playful side of looking good: they are so shiny and special that they'll be a perfect complement to any Christmas or New Year outfit. They can be worn in a young, iron interpretation or with a more grown up, sophisticated vibe, just like a piece of jewellery. "
A true jewel in itself, a Golden cylinder case with a cushion cut gem set at its head, to match the colour of the lipstick inside, a unique statement to pull out of your clutch bag to touch up your look during the evening.

I have gone around a lot of Caledonia County of Vermont photographing entire cemeteries. I am in the process of transcribing all of the photos and will post names that are not already on the site.
But, as I live in the world of "not much better than dial-up internet", it will be at the most basic level. (ie, not linking family members). The volume is just too high, and internet too slow. I will, however, do my best to keep up with any requests made.

RE: John B. Brooks & wives, St. Jay
Charles E. ("Charley") was indeed son of John B. Brooks. His wife Nettie Galbraith was his step-sister; her mother was Mary Elizabeth Chase (1st marriage), who married (2) his father John. I spent most of the night trying to figure this out, but the key is the 1880 census, where Mary Chase joins John Brooks's household along with 3 Galbraith stepchildren, among them Nettie. Can't see the rest of your message from this screen, but 4-5 of Charley's children ended up in Bethlehem, NH, where I live, and several married Huntoons here. I photographed some of their stones yesterday (still to edit and upload), and then started trying to work out the ancestral line. I'm a one-name researcher of Brooks families descending from New England founders. One of "Charley"'s grandchildren, also Charley, lives near me, and his wife and I have been sporadically trying to work out his ancestry for probably 15 years. The line goes back to John B., whom I strongly suspect (despite census reports) is Canadian, not New England, by birth.

RE: Eldad Root Lyndon Ctr
Thank you anne
One Huge favor.
I am trying to locate any information I can to link Eldad Root's brother Roswell back to his parents - moses root and Lavinia Alexander.
I believe Roswell Root was born in Lydon and he and his wife catherine belden are supposedly buried in woodmont cemetery in Burke per find a grave but there are no pictures or details.
I need this link to submit Moses Root as a patriot to the Sons of the American Revolution - he was a minuteman from Northfield and fought at tgi battle of Bunker Hill.
Moses father in law Captain Thomas Alexander also from Northfield lead an expedition against Quebec and was in Morristown, NJ in December 1776 as part of General George Washington's army when it crossed the Deleware.
Any assistance you can provide to locate their graves or other information on Roswell and Catherine would be greatly appreciated. I do have the death record on Catherine from the town of Burke that I found online.
Thank you and have a grant day.

Google+ Sharing On Maps A Template For Other Products
Before Google+ launched several months ago Eric Schmidt repeatedly told people that Google's social strategy would involve adding a "social layer" to other Google products. When G+ appeared as a full-blown Facebook competitor and destination many people forgot about the "social layer" strategy. But with the addition of +snippets to Google Maps and related sharing on Google+ we see the "social layer strategy" reappearing.
Earlier this week several people, including Chris Silver Smith, reported hearing that Google+ was coming to Google Maps. This is the rumored integration — less dramatic than feared by some who felt that Google+ was too "immature" a product to combine with the venerable mapping tool.
Sharing is simple on Maps: any of the snippets that appear on Google Maps can be shared with other users on Google+ (and those not on Google+). That functionality is useful in many cases: sharing driving directions, addresses and suggested places to visit, eat and so on.
But what's more interesting is the way in which the Google+ Maps integration represents a kind of template that will roll out across Google properties eventually: shopping, news, calendar, images, pictures and even web search. To be clear this is my speculation — but it seems logical and the realization of the "social layer strategy."

A Public Information Meeting for the Longfellow Bridge Rehabilitation Project will be held:
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Shriners Hospitals for Children, Auditorium
51 Blossom Street, Boston, MA
The meeting will provide details of the Bridge Preservation Contract to be advertised this fall. The early preservation work will include pilot work on the granite masonry and piers, sandblasting and cleaning the steel ribs to prepare them for later work and assess the need for any major repairs, and relocation of utilities beneath the bridge. The preservation contract is a smaller part of the larger Longfellow Bridge Rehabilitation Project. The public will have an opportunity to ask questions and provide input on the preservation phase of work for the rehabilitation of the Longfellow Bridge over the Charles River.
The Longfellow Bridge Rehabilitation Project is one of the signature components of the Commonwealth's Accelerated Bridge Program, a $3 billion, 8-year effort to expedite the repair and replacement of structurally deficient Massachusetts bridges.

Anthony Rose: After the fanfare, has Vin de France delivered?
Anthony Rose
Anthony Rose writes a column about wine for The Independent.
Saturday 18 May 2013
I had high hopes for the Vin de France designation for table wine when it first burst on to the scene four years ago. A new rule letting producers blend wine from different regions and put the grape variety and vintage on the label gave French producers a chance to say goodbye to plonk and compete with New World brands.
According to Valérie Pajotin, who organises the designation, "Vin de France should be viewed as the classification to bring new drinkers into French wine". But, after the fanfare, does it achieve that feat?
This year's competition took place in Paris with 88 wines out of 292 awarded medals by an international jury of trade and press. The star performer for me was sauvignon blanc. The 2012 La Belle Saison Sauvignon Blanc, £7.99, Laithwaites, stood out for its juicy character in which flavours of gooseberry mingled with herbal undertones. As did François Lurton's elderflower-styled 2012 Le Fumé Blanc Sauvignon Blanc, £8.20-£9.50, Bouquet Wines, winebear.com.
One of the few grower's wines in the competition, Noel Bougrier's Loire Valley 2012 Les Abbesses Sauvignon Blanc, £7.99, or £6.99 bottle/case, Laithwaites, was zesty and spring-like in its crispness. In contrast, the 2012 Kiwi Cuvée Sauvignon Blanc, £5.99-£6.16, Tesco, Morrisons, Asda, emulated New Zealand with herbal, grapefruit flavours and a dry aftertaste. Also palatable were the tropical citrus 2012 Mongravet Chardonnay, £5.29, Waitrose, and Hervé Sabadeuil's black-cherryish Chante-Clair blend, £6.49, or £5.49 bottle/case, Laithwaites.
It's a pity, though, to see good growers such as French-based Brit Katie Jones, whose Domaine Jones won a gold medal three years ago, dropping out. Why? "I'm not allowed to say my wine comes from the village of Maury in the Roussillon and, unlike IGP Pays d'Oc producers, I get no promotional support from Sud de France." Her 2011 Domaine Jones Fitou by Mademoiselle Jones, £12.99, Majestic, incidentally, is worth seeking out.
Far-sighted merchants like Jean-Claude Mas and François Lurton are aware of the benefits of Vin de France. If the wine is good value, the Vin de France award coupled with an idea of quality (vintage) and style (grape variety) has meaning. "Vin de France is a potential stepping stone for producers to raise their game," says Jean-Claude Mas. For it to become a force to really compete with the New World however, producers need to aim higher. To help them do so, less politics and greater incentives for producers, particularly small growers, would help.

Swing Your Partner
O'Connor vs. Kennedy as the justice in the middle.
As the court's longtime swing voter, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was a bit of a tease. You prayed and nibbled your nails while you waited too see whether she would come down on your side, and when she did, you felt great relief—and then anxiety. She'd given you her fifth vote, but she wasn't ready to commit. The opinion she'd written or signed teetered and hedged before reluctantly slumping down on your side of the scale. Looking ahead, you weren't sure what she or the court would do the next time a similar case came along. All you could do was console yourself with eternal hope: At least when you lost her, she didn't flit far out of reach, and you might win her back.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, on the other hand, is a swinger who knows how to be in a long-term relationship. When you've succeeded in wooing him, you know it. You read some of your own strongly felt sentiments taken to stirring heights in his opinions. Kennedy gives you passion. He's often been portrayed as the impressionable agonizer. But if he goes back and forth on the big ones, you often can't tell once he's done writing. He gives the winning suitor the comforting feeling that he's with you, for real, for the long haul.
That's one way to compare the two justices. Viewed through this lens, Kennedy can look pretty good to liberals on occasion, even if he looks pretty good to conservatives more often. But there's another method of comparison that explains why the left still longs for O'Connor. If you track the two justices across different areas of law, counting up the number of fifth votes cast rather than the scope of the decisions they wrote or joined, O'Connor gave the left more. On voting rights, campaign finance, the separation of church and state, and certainly on abortion and sex discrimination, she's the one. Georgetown law professor and contributor to Slate's Convictions blog Marty Lederman has been keeping the list. Kennedy goes deeper. But O'Connor went wider.
The contrast was evident last year when Kennedy issued his opinion in the late-term abortion case, Gonzales v. Carhart. He not only allowed the restriction on abortion in question to stand; he "relied on ancient notions about women's place in the family and under the Constitution" in mourning for women who come to regret their abortions later, as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg objected in her dissent.
Kennedy's overall record on sex discrimination and women's rights is the opposite of reassuring. In a forthcoming paper, Drexel law professor David S. Cohen charts Kennedy's votes in 43 such cases in which the court was not unanimous. He finds that Kennedy voted to strike down the sex-discrimination claim (or voted in favor of the abortion restriction) 78 percent of the time. In cases that split 5-4, his conservative record is 97.5 percent. O'Connor voted in 40 of the 43 nonunanimous cases and voted yes to a sex-discrimination claim, Cohen reports, 34 percent of the time when Kennedy voted no. In no case did they switch sides, with Kennedy's vote recognizing merits of a claim that O'Connor rejected. "If you look at Justice Kennedy's entire record, he has very traditional notions about gender, particularly the family," Cohen says.
