Tim Tebow reportedly asks out of Wildcat packages: Many news outlets reported over the weekend that New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow asked not to be utilized in the team's wildcat package on offense for this weekend's game. According to the report, Tebow has been disappointed at not being named as the starter after Mark Sanchez was benched. His frustration can be understood to a degree as the Jets went with unproven rookie Greg McElroy, but if the reports are true, that's a bad move on his part. Above all else, Tebow has to be a reliable member of the team and play as requested by the coaches – even if he doesn't feel he's being utilized properly. If he feels he's being treated unfairly, he can always ask for a way out. But as long as he's being paid by the franchise and is a member of the team, Tebow should participate in any way the coaches see fit.
Cleveland Indians sign Nick Swisher: The Cleveland Indians made a bit of a splash in MLB free agency by signing outfielder Nick Swisher away from the Yankees. Swisher hit 24 home runs and drove in nearly 100 runs in New York last year and will provide a boost to the Cleveland offense. The move is especially helpful for the Tribe as they recently traded away Shin-Soo Choo. And at 32 having had a pretty healthy career, Swisher should still have a few more years left in the tank.
Jabari Parker commits to Duke, reports backlash: High School basketball sensation Jabari Parker, widely regarded as one of the top two recruits in the class of 2013 committed to Duke last week. Afterwards, he reported being harassed on Twitter. He responded by saying he's 'just a kid', but the fact is that it's just something he'll have to learn to deal with. Having a Twitter account is one thing athletes use to connect better with fans, but the flipside is that not everyone will be thrilled with what they do or say. I'm not condoning harassment of athletes on the social media site (particularly ones still in high school), but Parker will need to realize it's only going to get worse as he advances to college and, presumably, the NBA.
Indianapolis Colts clinch playoff berth: The Colts did the unthinkable this weekend by making the NFL playoffs with rookie quarterback Andrew Luck at the helm. When the Colts decided to make the difficult move to transition away from Peyton Manning, most figured it would take a few years to get back to the postseason. But Luck not only had a monster rookie campaign, breaking Cam Newton's rookie season passing record, he's led Indianapolis to an unthinkable ten wins so far. The Colts' management has to be absolutely pleased with the way things have worked out under Luck. He was expected to be a star in the league, but few could have seen this much success in only his first year.
DeMarcus Cousins in trouble … again: Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins was recently suspended indefinitely by the team for conduct detrimental to the team. The exact reason hasn't been specified, but Cousins and coach Keith Smart reportedly argued in the locker room at halftime of a recent game and the player was benched in the second half. Cousins wasn't even permitted to leave the locker room during the benching. Even worse was the fact that this isn't his first brush with trouble this season. Cousins was suspended for a game after striking the Dallas Mavericks' O.J. Mayo in the groin earlier this month. He was also suspended by the league for two games after an incident with San Antonio Spurs' announcer and former player Sean Elliott back in November. For his part in the locker room incident with Smart, Cousins has since admitted he was wrong. But the Kings may be fed up with his actions lately and the indefinite suspension could last a while. If so, you have to applaud management since Cousins is the team leader in points, rebounds, and steals, and one of the few attractions the franchise has.
Texas' Myck Kabongo has season-long suspension cut: Texas guard Myck Kabongo was recently suspended by the NCAA for the rest of this season, but last week had it cut to 23 games. Kabongo reportedly lied to the school about receiving improper gifts, but was found to have not lied to the NCAA. More alarming for me, though, was Texas coach Rick Barnes who said his thoughts are with Myck and his family and that he 'feels' for him. So let's get this straight – a player lies to the school that provides him with a free education and a place to display his athletic talents, but is then treated as if he did nothing wrong and is virtually being tortured. Got it. I don't deny that everyone makes mistakes, but Kabongo deserves to sit this time out. Instead of feeling bad for him, Barnes would sound much more credible if he said he was disappointed in his actions.

Bracket fungi cause decay and rot in the heartwood of trees and produce bracket-shaped fruiting bodies on the trunk or main branches. These fungi usually lead to the weakening and eventual breakage or fall of affected trees.
Coral spotFairy ringsHoney fungusMycorrhizal fungiRoger's mushrooms - online fungi identificationSaprophytic fungi
Bracket fungi are the fruiting structures of many different fungi that cause heartwood decay in standing trees. The fungal bodies or brackets appear in spring, summer and autumn, but weakened trees can topple at any time. Note that there are other fungi which also cause decay that are not bracket fungi.
There are many different types of bracket fungi, many which are specific to a particular host and often of little importance in gardens. Important ones that commonly do significant damage to garden trees include:
Although there are many different bracket fungi, they all cause similar symptoms, as mentioned below.
Some of the symptoms you may see:

Gardeners are legally responsible for their trees and may be liable for prosecution if damage or injury results from falling timber. For assessments of tree health, advice on suitable consultants and contractors contact:

There are no chemicals for control of bracket fungi.
The brackets release huge quantities of wind blown spores which germinate on wounded wood and penetrate into the heartwood, where the fungus forms an expanding pocket of rot. Any pruning which exposes heartwood will increase the likelihood of infection. Most of the fungi described as 'brackets' only live on and decay the heartwood, they do not infect and kill the living parts of the tree.
Honey fungus, a destructive pathogen as well as a decay fungus, is not a bracket fungus.

National Soccer Hall of Fame: Class of 2013 Candidates Finalized, Balloting Begins Today
Voting Begins Today for Player, Veteran Player and Builder Categories; Five Players Eligible on First Ballot, Including U.S. WNT Two-Time Gold Medalist Angela Hucles
Voting Begins Today for Player, Veteran Player and Builder Categories; Five Players Eligible on First Ballot, Including U.S. WNT Two-Time Gold Medalist Angela Hucles
CHICAGO (Jan. 25, 2013) – Ballots have been finalized for the National Soccer Hall of Fame Class of 2013 elections, and voting will begin immediately for the Player, Veteran Player and Builder categories. Voting will continue through Feb. 22, and the election results will be announced shortly after. The Class of 2013 induction ceremony details will be announced at a later date.
Players in their first year of eligibility include two-time MLS champion midfielder Wade Barrett, two-time WNT Olympic gold medalist Angela Hucles, former MLS Rookie of the Year and MNT veteran Ben Olsen, 2002 MNT World Cup defender Tony Sanneh and 2005 MLS MVP and former Men's National Team forward Taylor Twellman.
"We are excited to begin the process of selecting the National Soccer Hall of Fame Class of 2013 later this year," said Hank Steinbrecher, Chairman of the Hall of Fame's Board of Directors. "The Hall of Fame is the most prestigious honor among the Player, Veteran and Builder candidates who dedicated themselves to the sport. As usual there is a great mix of returning candidates and new names who are worthy of this award."
Of the 22 total players on the Player ballot, Mauricio Cienfuegos, Roy Lassiter and Tisha Venturini-Hoch are in their final year of eligibility.
In order to be eligible for election as a Player, an individual must be retired as a player for at least three years, but for no more than 10 years and have either: 1) Played in at least 20 international games for the U.S., or 2) Played at least five seasons in an American first division professional league and named to a postseason All-League or All-Star team at least once.
The voting pool includes all past and present full Men's and Women's National Team coaches, all active MLS and NWSL head coaches with a minimum of four years of experience as a head coach in a first division league, MLS and NWSL management representatives, MLS Commissioner, NWSL Executive Director, U.S. Soccer CEO/Secretary General, U.S. Soccer President, designated media members, and all Hall of Famers.
Each voter can list up to 10 candidates per ballot. Any player appearing on at least 66.7 percent of ballots will earn election, while any player who does not appear on at least five percent of ballots will be dropped from the Player ballot.

In addition to the Player ballot, voting is also underway in the Veteran Player and Builder categories. Fifteen players are up for selection on the Veteran ballot, which is voted on only by current Hall of Famers after the list has been narrowed down by a screening committee.
Voters can name up to five candidates, and the top vote-getter will be elected as long as he or she appears on a minimum of 50 percent of the ballots. If no Veteran appears on 50 percent of the ballots, then no one will be elected on this ballot in 2013. More than one candidate may be elected in the event of a tie.
Eligibility for the Veteran ballot is the same as the Player ballot except that a player must be retired for more than 10 years. Further, the U.S. National Team cap requirement is lowered from 20 to 10 if the 10 caps came before 1990.

Builders are eligible by making their mark in the soccer community in a non-playing capacity while sustaining a major and positive impact on U.S. Soccer at the national federation or first-division level for 10 years. Referees must serve as a FIFA referee for at least seven years to be eligible. (although a referee who has less than seven years as a FIFA international referee still can qualify for this list via 10 or more years as a United States first-division referee.)

The National Soccer Hall of Fame closed its Oneonta, N.Y., facility in 2010. The election process is being administered by U.S. Soccer Federation staff under election and eligibility guidelines established by the Hall of Fame board of directors.
Established in 1950, the National Soccer Hall of Fame is dedicated to the sport of soccer in America by celebrating its history, preserving its legacy, inspiring its youth and honoring its heroes for generations to come.

With the Christmas season upon us, appeals from charitable
organizations will be on the rise. This is no coincidence. The holiday
season can put you in the spirit of giving and many charities hope that
you will add them to your gift list.
But Beware! This is also the time of year that many unethical groups may try to cash in on your generosity to benefit their own pocketbooks.
Charity appeals may come by mail, phone or by personal solicitation. Do not be rushed or pressured to make a decision. Any legitimate soliciting organization will need your money just as much after the holidays as before. Take the time to do your homework to make sure the charity is worthy of your donation.
BBB offers the following tips to help you make a wise giving decision:
1. Do not fall prey to high-pressured tactics. Again, any legitimate charity will allow you time to "check them out."
2. Do seek additional facts. Request that the soliciting organization send you a copy of their most current certified audit and annual report. Even a newly established charity should be able to provide a program brochure and budget plan for collected funds.
3. Ask how much of the charity's income is spent on actual program services as opposed to fundraising and administrative costs. Determine if the charity has or is employing a professional fundraising firm to solicit your donation. If so, ask what percentage of monies received will the for-profit firm retain for their services.
4. Do not purchase an item on behalf of a charity-such as a box of candy or tickets to a holiday show-and assume that the full price will benefit the charity. Ask questions to determine how much of your donation will actually benefit the charity's program services.
5. Do not fall prey to fraudulent phone appeals that include chances to enter a sweepstakes, especially if the solicitor asks for a donation to claim a prize. Requiring a contribution would make the sweepstakes an illegal lottery.
6. Do not give your credit card or bank account numbers over the phone or send cash through the mail or via courier. Make all checks out to the name of the charity and not to an individual.
7. Do not be fooled by names that may sound impressive or closely resemble the name of a well-known organization. Do not give to an organization simply because "children" or any other sympathy pull is included in the name.
8. Check with BBB to see if a report is available on a local or
national charity. This can be done by calling (404) 766-0875 or by
going to our website at bbb.org.
To check on national charities, consumers should go to www.bbb.org/charity.

The Healthspan Difference:
Bilberry is a dark purple berry related to the cranberry, blueberry and huckleberry. It is a deciduous shrub predominantly native to Poland and Ireland.
The bilberry fruit is a naturally rich source of potent plant compounds known as 'anthocyanidins'. These anthocyanidins are the active part of the bilberry fruit which together with other flavonoids give bilberry its antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are compounds which help to neutralise free radicals.
Our experts believe that antioxidants work best in combination which is why they recommend that anyone taking Bilberry should also consider OptiVision. OptiVision contains the premium antioxidant lutein, alongside vitamin B1 and the essential omega fatty acid DHA which help to maintain normal vision.
Each advanced tablet contains 50mg standardised bilberry extract, equivalent to 5,000mg fresh fruit, which provides 12.5mg of the active ingredient anthocyanidins.

Catering >Morton's The Steakhouse
849 E. Commerce St., San Antonio, TX | Directions 7820529.423027 -98.484543
Neighborhoods: Downtown
Infuriatingly BAD! – Ok, i have eaten at Morton's and San Antonio's i was told was one of the best. WRONG
Service and food STUNk. We waited so long for a drink and then for our food. THe workers were more interested in going home so they were busy cleaning up way before closing time.
The ribeye and the filet mignon were crucified by the cook. The filet mignon was supposed to be well done- yes i know it should be rare. Nevertheless i have had a well done steak that was still juicy. Non here. the steak was way overdone and rock hard.
The ribeye was equally lousy. As we left without finishing our drinks or even eating the steaks. the waiter had the nerve to ask if we enjoyed our meal.
The full plates tell the story- we will never eat at Morton's again as this was a rip-off at the prices where staff should not allow this.
CHICAGO STYLE STEAKHOUSE IN TEXAS! – I'm from Illinois and my wife and I fancy a dim-lit, black and white picture clad, redbrick walled Chicago style steakhouse from time to time. If you like the liberty of throwing peanut shells on the floor; this is not your place. But for me, going to a place like Morton's once in a blue-moon as apposed to our frequent patronage to Texas Roadhouse is like going to Chris Madrid's versus McDonald's. Don't get me wrong I love peanut-shell-on-floor "TEXAS Steakhouses", they are great. I met my wife in Texas Roadhouse for crying out loud. Saltgrass is great too. But when you feel like you're ready to take it to the WOL (Whole Other Level) (from SNL) Maybe its time for a Bone-In-"Chicago-style"-Ribeye. (the meat closest to the bone has the most flavor) This is the closest thing I think you're going to find to Harry Carey's or a Chicago steak experience in Texas.
USDA prime beef, elegant tableside service and mammoth martinis. – In Short
With its dark wood details, celebrity photos and tuxedo-clad waiters, this upscale steakhouse chain has the air of a posh men's club. Service is professional and discreet, with bartenders making a mean martini. Dinners begin with a waiter-driven cart laden with fresh vegetables, live lobster and cuts of steak; customers choose from porterhouse, rib-eye, bone-in prime rib and more. Side dishes are traditional and enormous, from baked potatoes and creamed spinach to steamed broccoli with hollandaise.
Made our 25th anniversary very special. – We arrived 15 minutes early & had to wait in the lounge. This is the only negative- if you have any intolerance to second hand smoke & smells then the residual smell of cigarette smoke will gag you. This smell is only in the lounge, the restaurant area is fine so stay out of the lounge. At exactly 5:30 we were seated at our booth. The staff pulled out the table to allow easy access..and then the show began. Laura wheeled over a cart of food & made a spectacular presentation of the steaks and customized menu items. Our waiter, Chris, came over and brought a round loaf of onion bread (YUM) & made recommendations. We ordered chilled Maine lobster - ( $21 for about 4 oz) ....the presentation was beautiful, but the lobster itself was slightly overcooked and therefore a litte rubbery, but still flavorul. Onto the main course - no wait...time for a picture???....more about that later. My husband ordered the 24 oz Porter house steak ($56.00) it was like BUTTER, rare, perfectly seasoned, what a steak should be. I ordered the rare sashimi grade Ahi tuna steak ($48.00) & again perfection... Asian inspired flavor...cooked rare (yes still cool in the center)...just wonderful... We also ordered a Morton Salad $15.00 & broccoli w/ bernaise sauce ..skip those....nothing really wrong...just not needed...pricey & not really flavorful. Then we made our 1st big mistake...we let our waiter recommend a bottle of wine..and forgot to ask the price...$133.00 for a bottle of red wine was crazy...good but not worth it...Remember the picture: Our maitre'd brought over a congratulaory picture of my husband and I, at our booth, in a signed black matt cardboard frame...saying Happy Anniversary...It was signed by all the wait staff....then they delievered a complimentary chocolate lava cake ($14.00).... that was to die for. The service was impeccable....all the staff was attentive and the food was great. We will definately go back for those special occasions.
light years ahead of the rest..... – i'm not sure why anyone would compare morton's to ruth's chris. morton's easily has better service, better food, and premium steaks. the ribeye here is simply addictive. i go once a month and have never seen anything but perfection presented on my plate. if you love ribeye, this is the place.
Fabulous food and wonderful service – I'm not sure what happened the night previous poster Eloy went to Morton's, but I have always had divine food and fabulous service at Morton's. It is a great place for Steaks, Seafood, and some of the most amazing vegetable dishes and desserts around. Some people unfamiliar with Morton's signature steaks think their steaks are burned; in actuality if you'll take a minute to cut into them you'll realize that their unique cooking method seals in the juices and flavors like nobody else. I also LOVE their Colossal Shrimp and their Ocean platters. Secret info: The bar offers FREE petite filet mignon sandwiches from 5-5:30 weekends...so you can buy a drink and enjoy their yummy steak for a pittance of price. I'm not a fan of the butter slathered steaks of Ruths Chris..and am a diehard Morton's fan. I thought it would be an intimidating experience, but the wait staff is so friendly and helpful it is always an enjoyable time whether I go with a group of friends or my boyfriend.
Never Again!!! $50.00 Steaks are not meant to be burned !! – Thought this would be great for an anniversary dinner. Wrong. The service was lousy, they burned 2 $50 dollar steaks. I ate about a third of my steak and could no longer wash away the charcoal burnt taste with my cold beer, my wife wouldn't even touch her steak after she tasted it. She opted to only eat her salad. Service was so lousy we were seated at 10:00 pm and after our salad we had to flag down waiters to get more drinks, as they do not have a dedicated server for you. By the time we received our burnt steaks it was already 11:30 pm. It took them about an hour to burn and serve our steaks. We left there hungry after 11:30 PM and had to settle for Denny's. The only good thing was after complaining to the manager they ate the $148.00 bill. I will never go back. Here are some of the better steakhouses I have taken my wife to for Anniversaries and was very pleased with service and food.
Grey Moss Inn - Awsome open flame cooked steaks - Very Romantic setting
Ruth's Chris Steak House - They never disappoint
Little Rhein Steak House - Not romantic but good food
Texas Land & Cattle Steakhouse
Saltgrass Steak House
I hope I save someone a bad experience and a few $$$.
Awesome – Fabulous steaks, presented to the diner before cooking. Great sides as well. Don't miss the house coffee afterwards!!
Totally awesome experience- incredible service.
pgrl – They need to enforce the same rules that other Morton's around the nation have, attire is Business Class or higher or no entrance.
Also, strollers should not be allowed at tables.
I know the Riverwalk is tourist, but the class of the restaurant should still remain.
Great Beef, Great Service – This is the best beef you can find in a San Antonio steakhouse. The service ranks in the top 5 in SA as well. Not recommended for those of you who don't like to spend $30+ on a steak. Make sure you pre-order the souffle - you just cannot go wrong.

Experimental results are beginning to shed light on the psychological foundations of our moral beliefs
Long thought to be a topic of enquiry within the humanities, the nature of human morality is increasingly being scrutinised by the natural sciences. This shift is now beginning to provide impressive intellectual returns on investment. Philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists, economists, primatologists and anthropologists, all borrowing liberally from each others' insights, are putting together a novel picture of morality—a trend that University of Virginia psychologist Jonathan Haidt has described as the "new synthesis in moral psychology." The picture emerging shows the moral sense to be the product of biologically evolved and culturally sensitive brain systems that together make up the human "moral faculty."
Hot morality
A pillar of the new synthesis is a renewed appreciation of the powerful role played by intuitions in producing our ethical judgements. Our moral intuitions, argue Haidt and other psychologists, derive not from our powers of reasoning, but from an evolved and innate suite of "affective" systems that generate "hot" flashes of feelings when we are confronted with a putative moral violation.
This intuitionist perspective marks a sharp break from traditional "rationalist" approaches in moral psychology, which gained a large following in the second half of the 20th century under the stewardship of the late Harvard psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg. In the Kohlbergian tradition, moral verdicts derive from the application of conscious reasoning, and moral development throughout our lives reflects our improved ability to articulate sound reasons for the verdicts—the highest stages of moral development are reached when people are able to reason about abstract general principles, such as justice, fairness and the Kantian maxim that individuals should be treated as ends and never as means.
But experimental studies give cause to question the primacy of rationality in morality. In one experiment, Jonathan Haidt presented people with a range of peculiar stories, each of which depicted behaviour that was harmless (in that no sentient being was hurt) but which also felt "bad" or "wrong." One involved a son who promised his mother, while she was on her deathbed, that he would visit her grave every week, and then reneged on his commitment because he was busy. Another scenario told of a man buying a dead chicken at the supermarket and then having sex with it before cooking and eating it. These weird but essentially harmless acts were, nonetheless, by and large deemed to be immoral.
Further evidence that emotions are in the driving seat of morality surfaces when people are probed on why they take their particular moral positions. In a separate study which asked subjects for their ethical views on consensual incest, most people intuitively felt that incestuous sex is wrong, but when asked why, many gave up, saying, "I just know it's wrong!"—a phenomenon Haidt calls "moral dumbfounding."
It's hard to argue that people are rationally working their way to moral judgements when they can't come up with any compelling reasons—or sometimes any reasons at all—for their moral verdicts. Haidt suggests that the judgements are based on intuitive, emotional responses, and that conscious reasoning comes into its own in creating post hoc justifications for our moral stances. Our powers of reason, in this view, operate more like a lawyer hired to defend a client than a disinterested scientist searching for the truth.
Our rational and rhetorical skill is also recruited from time to time as a lobbyist. Haidt points out that the reasons—whether good or bad—that we offer for our moral views often function to press the emotional buttons of those we wish to bring around to our way of thinking. So even when explicit reasons appear to have the effect of changing people's moral opinions, the effect may have less to do with the logic of the arguments than their power to elicit the right emotional responses. We may win hearts without necessarily converting minds.
A Tale Of Two Faculties
Even if you recognise the tendency to base moral judgements on how moral violations make you feel, you probably would also like to think that you have some capacity to think through moral issues, to weigh up alternative outcomes and make a call on what is right and wrong.
Thankfully, neuroscience gives some cause for optimism. Philosopher-cum-cognitive scientist Joshua Greene of Harvard University and his colleagues have used functional magnetic resonance imaging to map the brain as it churns over moral problems, inspired by a classic pair of dilemmas from the annals of moral philosophy called the Trolley Problem and the Footbridge Problem. In the first, an out-of-control trolley is heading down a rail track, ahead of which are five hikers unaware of the looming threat. On the bank where you're standing is a switch that, if flicked, will send the trolley on to another track on which just one person is walking. If you do nothing, five people die; flick the switch and just one person will die.
To flick or not to flick—what would you do? Like 90 per cent of people, you probably looked at the numbers (saving five and losing one, versus losing five) and decided to hit the switch. Now consider the Footbridge Problem: again, a trolley is heading towards five unsuspecting hikers, but this time there is no switch you can throw to save the hapless hikers. The only way to stop the trolley is to put a heavy weight in front of the impending threat. Unfortunately, the only sufficiently weighty object nearby is a large man standing on the footbridge with you. Do you push him in front of the trolley, and to his death, to save the five hikers? Or is this beyond the pale? Is inaction now mandated?
Even though the numbers are the same as before—losing one life or losing five—most people feel differently about this dilemma: now a clear majority (70–90 per cent in most studies) say it is not morally permissible to push the man, and those that say it is permissible tend to take longer to reach their decision than when reflecting on the Trolley Problem.
What is going on in the brain when people mull over these different scenarios? Thinking through cases like the Trolley Problem—what Greene calls an impersonal moral dilemma as it involves no direct violence against another person—increases activity in brain regions located in the prefrontal cortex that are associated with deliberative reasoning and cognitive control (so-called executive functions). This pattern of activity suggests that impersonal moral dilemmas such as the Trolley Problem are treated as straightforward rational problems: how to maximise the number of lives saved. By contrast, brain imaging of the Footbridge Problem—a personal dilemma that invokes up-close and personal violence—tells a rather different story. Along with the brain regions activated in the Trolley Problem, areas known to process negative emotional responses also crank up their activity. In these more difficult dilemmas, people take much longer to make a decision and their brains show patterns of activity indicating increased emotional and cognitive conflict within the brain as the two appalling options are weighed up.
Greene interprets these different activation patterns, and the relative difficulty of making a choice in the Footbridge Problem, as the sign of conflict within the brain. On the one hand is a negative emotional response elicited by the prospect of pushing a man to his death saying "Don't do it!"; on the other, cognitive elements saying "Save as many people as possible and push the man!" For most people thinking about the Footbridge Problem, emotion wins out; in a minority of others, the utilitarian conclusion of maximising the number of lives saved.
To further explore the causal role of emotions in generating a normal pattern of moral judgements, neuroscientist Antonio Damasio of the University of Southern California and colleagues have looked at the effect on moral judgement of damage to a part of the brain called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPC), a region previously implicated in processing negative social emotions. Faced with the Trolley Problem, these brain-damaged patients chose like most people with intact brains, opting to flick the switch to save five lives at the expense of one, but in the Footbridge Problem took a coldly rational, utilitarian approach and said that it was morally permissible to throw the fat man in front of the train (using the same "one for five" calculus).
These findings fit in with Greene's dual-processing view of competing affective–cognitive systems. Damage to the VMPC and impairment of the functioning of the emotional system makes little difference in the Trolley Problem, which involves an impersonal action. But with the Footbridge Problem, for patients with damage to the VMPC, there is no counterbalancing emotional voice to question the wisdom of rationality's precepts, and the utilitarian calculus carries the day.
A Moral Grammar
While there is a growing consensus that the moral intuitions revealed by moral dilemmas such as the Trolley and Footbridge problems draw on unconscious psychological processes, there is an emerging debate about how best to characterise these unconscious elements.
On the one hand is the dual-processing view, in which "hot" affectively-laden intuitions that militate against personal violence are sometimes pitted against the ethical conclusions of deliberative, rational systems. An alternative perspective that is gaining increased attention sees our moral intuitions as driven by "cooler," non-affective general "principles" that are innately built into the human moral faculty and that we unconsciously follow when assessing social behaviour.
In order to find out whether such principles drive moral judgements, scientists need to know how people actually judge a range of moral dilemmas. In recent years, Marc Hauser, a biologist and psychologist at Harvard, has been heading up the Moral Sense Test (MST) project to gather just this sort of data from around the globe and across cultures.
The project is casting its net as wide as possible: the MST can be taken by anyone with access to the internet. Visitors to the "online lab" are presented with a series of short moral scenarios—subtle variations of the original Footbridge and Trolley dilemmas, as well as a variety of other moral dilemmas. The scenarios are designed to explore whether, and how, specific factors influence moral judgements. Data from 5,000 MST participants showed that people appear to follow a moral code prescribed by three principles:
• The action principle: harm caused by action is morally worse than equivalent harm caused by omission.
• The intention principle: harm intended as the means to a goal is morally worse than equivalent harm foreseen as the side-effect of a goal.
• The contact principle: using physical contact to cause harm to a victim is morally worse than causing equivalent harm to a victim without using physical contact.
Crucially, the researchers also asked participants to justify their decisions. Most people appealed to the action and contact principles; only a small minority explicitly referred to the intention principle. Hauser and colleagues interpret this as evidence that some principles that guide our moral judgments are simply not available to, and certainly not the product of, conscious reasoning. These principles, it is proposed, are an innate and universal part of the human moral faculty, guiding us in ways we are unaware of. In a (less elegant) reformulation of Pascal's famous claim that "The heart has reasons that reason does not know," we might say "The moral faculty has principles that reason does not know."
The notion that our judgements of moral situations are driven by principles of which we are not cognisant will no doubt strike many as implausible. Proponents of the "innate principles" perspective, however, can draw succour from the influential Chomskyan idea that humans are equipped with an innate and universal grammar for language as part of their basic design spec. In everyday conversation, we effortlessly decode a stream of noise into meaningful sentences according to rules that most of us are unaware of, and use these same rules to produce meaningful phrases of our own. Any adult with normal linguistic competence can rapidly decide whether an utterance or sentence is grammatically valid or not without conscious recourse to the specific rules that determine grammaticality. Just as we intuitively know what we can and cannot say, so too might we have an intuitive appreciation of what is morally permissible and what is forbidden.
Marc Hauser and legal theorist John Mikhail of Georgetown University have started to develop detailed models of what such an "innate moral grammar" might look like. Such models usually posit a number of key components, or psychological systems. One system uses "conversion rules" to break down observed (or imagined) behaviour into a meaningful set of actions, which is then used to create a "structural description" of the events. This structural description captures not only the causal and temporal sequence of events (what happened and when), but also intentional aspects of action (was the outcome intended as a means or a side effect? What was the intention behind the action?).
With the structural description in place, the causal and intentional aspects of events can be compared with a database of unconscious rules, such as "harm intended as a means to an end is morally worse than equivalent harm foreseen as the side-effect of a goal." If the events involve harm caused as a means to the greater good (and particularly if caused by the action and direct contact of another person), then a judgement of impermissibility is more likely to be generated by the moral faculty. In the most radical models of the moral grammar, judgements of permissibility and impermissibility occur prior to any emotional response. Rather than driving moral judgements, emotions in this view arise as a by-product of unconsciously reached judgements as to what is morally right and wrong.
Just as an innate, universal grammar for languages doesn't entail that all people will speak the same language, the idea of a universal moral grammar should not be taken to imply that systems of ethics will be the same the world over. For example, the grammar for language might say that all grammatical sentences must contain a subject, a verb and an object, but leave open which order they must appear in. So some languages, such as English, settle on a subject–verb–object order, and others, such as Japanese, on subject–object–verb.
Hauser argues that a similar "principles and parameters" model of moral judgement could help make sense of universal themes in human morality as well as differences across cultures (see below). There is little evidence about how innate principles are affected by culture, but Hauser has some expectations as to what might be found. If the intention principle is really an innate part of the moral faculty, then its operation should be seen in all cultures. However, cultures might vary in how much harm as a means to a goal they typically tolerate, which in turn could reflect how extensively that culture sanctions means-based harm such as infanticide (deliberately killing one child so that others may flourish, for example). These intriguing though speculative ideas await a thorough empirical test.
A full account of our moral psychology will also have to explain the variation in people's moral intuitions. Why do a minority of people think it is morally permissible to push the man in the Footbridge dilemma? Part of the answer is that people are likely to differ in the way their brains balance up affective or emotional responses with rational calculations. Such differences could result from as yet unidentified genetic factors or aspects of the environment and culture that tweak a common universal set of moral foundations.
Moral psychology also has to grapple with the problem of how and why societal norms of moral conduct change over time. Take attitudes towards homosexuals in developed western countries, which have changed enormously over the past 50 years. Arguments put forward by gay-rights advocates have undoubtedly played a part in shifting views about homosexuals. Yet the research on moral intuitions suggests that changes in the network of affective responses elicited by the thought of gays—driven by increased exposure to positive portrayals of gays in the media, for example—are likely to have been crucial to increasing acceptance.
Morality is a social phenomenon, and so it is little surprise that the way our social lives are structured—whether we live in small, tight-knit communities or large, anonymous cities—also sculpts our moral outlook. Haidt suggests that it is no coincidence that rural areas of the US, where communities are more bound together and interdependent, tend to be more conservative and religious, while urban dwellers tend to be more secular and liberal, with a focus on "individualising" ethics (see below). Viewed this way, the faultlines in the ongoing culture wars begin to come into focus, and the geographical distribution of red and blue states in the 2004 presidential election starts to make more sense.
Although current studies have only begun to scratch the surface, the take-home message is clear: intuitions that function below the radar of consciousness are most often the wellsprings of our moral judgements. Of course, the new wave of moral psychologists and neuroscientists are not the first to draw on the power of unconscious processes to explain the operation of the human mind. Freudian approaches have long stressed the role of unconscious thoughts, often with a sexual or aggressive edge to them, as drivers of both our behaviour and mental conflict. Yet the view of the non-conscious moral mind that is emerging bears little resemblance to the dark Freudian underworld of repressed memories, frustrated desires and unpalatable thoughts.
Despite the knocking it has received, reason is clearly not entirely impotent in the moral domain. We can reflect on our moral positions and, with a bit of effort, potentially revise them. An understanding of our moral intuitions, and the unconscious forces that fuel them, give us perhaps the greatest hope of overcoming them.
Moral cultures
Studies in moral psychology have typically looked at two core areas of moral concern: harm and fairness. A number of researchers are now arguing that this focus needs to be expanded, and recent studies of morality across cultures are producing signs that issues of harm and fairness are just a subset of the moral world inhabited by the majority of the planet.
Psychologist and cultural anthropologist Richard Shweder of the University of Chicago has long argued that the moral concepts found throughout the world cluster into at least three overlapping ethical domains: the ethics of autonomy (individual rights and fairness), community (respects for tradition, authority and group loyalty) and divinity (sanctity and purity of the soul).
Different cultural traditions place a different emphasis on the importance of each domain in navigating the moral realm. So while protecting the domain of divinity is a ubiquitous concern in the Indian subcontinent, liberal, educated westerners typically place the ethics of autonomy at the centre of their moral worldview.
Recently, Jonathan Haidt, along with Jesse Graham and Craig Joseph, has suggested an expansion of Shweder's three domains into five foundations for morality. Haidt, Graham and Joseph propose that the world's diverse moralities are built on top of five psychological foundations, each primed to detect and react emotionally to transgressions or violations of different moral concerns: harm to, and care, of individuals; justice and fairness; in-group loyalty; respect for authority/tradition; and issues of purity and sanctity.
Although we're all equipped with these psychological foundations, the ones that are actually built on varies across and within cultures. Using questionnaires, Haidt and Joseph have found that self-identified liberals in the US typically draw on the harm/care and justice/fairness in deciding moral issues. By contrast, religious and social conservatives generally take all five foundations to be relevant to their moral judgements. So when liberals and conservatives disagree, at stake is not just whose rights should be protected and how, but what counts as a legitimate moral concern in the first place. It is little wonder people so frequently talk past each other in the emotionally charged atmosphere of moral disputes.
There is also evidence that the different moral structures built on the universal five foundations are related to different emotional dispositions of conservatives and liberals. Recent work by David Pizarro and Yoel Inbar of Cornell University, in collaboration with Paul Bloom, a psychologist at Yale University, has explored how the morally charged emotion, disgust, which is frequently evoked by transgressions in the domain of purity, relates to these competing social orientations. The researchers found that the more disgust sensitive a person is, the more likely they are to hold conservative views on a range of social issues. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this link was strongest for the hot-button topics of abortion and gay marriage, views on which are heavily affected by attitudes to bodily purity.
None of this is to say that either the conservative or liberal outlook is inherently "better" than the other. Nor is it to suggest that you should expand the domain of your moral concerns if you're a liberal, or contract it if you're conservative, to settle on the "proper" moral domain. At the same time, however, such insights are not irrelevant to thinking about moral debates. A deeper appreciation of the roles the five proposed foundations for morality play in the moral visions of people with different backgrounds can be useful in its own right. Such an understanding has the potential to increase the sensitivity of disputants in moral debates to the mindset of those they seek to engage with or persuade. At the very least, it might be desirable to know thy enemy.

I enjoyed when the article discussed "moral dumbfounding." It is extremely common that some things found to be immoral are simply immoral because that's what we were grown up to understand. However, we don't really have any logical reasoning behind it.

This was a very interesting reading. It is very true that we think one way because of our upbringing; depending on how each individual is raised will determine what he or she will finds as "right" and "wrong." However, I feel that not all judgements are based on emotions. You may feel one way about a situation but know that you must do the complete opposite so that all ends wells. I also think that your upbringing plays a larger role in your judgments than your emotions.

I agree that up-bringing teaches us right from wrong, but the extent to which we feel responsibility for the well-being of others is best defined not by Freud but by Maslow. Freud worked with the dysfunctional outcomes of abuse and oppressive social roles, while Maslow defined a system that evidenced how a good, safe, up-bringing creates adults who can provide a good safe environment for others. Whether that is morality or the pursuit of an ideal is a question for the social scientists to consider.
September 7, 2011
I find it interesting how scientific understanding of how the human mind computes and solves problems continues to evolve. To me, asking to push the man to his death to save the five other people is an indisputable no. I feel it should be that man's decision to sacrifice himself for others. However; I am not in complete understanding where this decision of mine came from. Is it reasoning? Or is it morality? Or morality then reasoning?

Were autistic people included in the sample? if so how did they respond relative to the samples. If not why not?
July 18, 2012
Interesting question!
Is morality an abstract absolute or do we subjectively require different standards? Would an autistic person look at the question objectively and an empathic person have no doubt at all about what was right and what was wrong, as in 'if it's good for me it's probably good for you too'.
Britain used to have a majority Christian population, and this allowed a common denominator of morality to underpin people's life stages more clearly. Now we have a majority democratic population, with a very few extreme left-wing or extreme right wing individuals wanting to impose a relative hierarchy on moral behaviour.
Moral behaviour benefits the individual and the tribe, but some things that fall into the category of morality belong in reality to status hierarchies. Other things like the trolley question fall outside of morality and into asking who has responsibility for managing the safety and welfare of the tribe.

This article was very interesting. I like how they walked through the process of how they figured out moral versus emotional. I like the situations they posed as well and how emotions play into the decision most would make. I tried to answer these questions myself and the answers I came up with I couldn't quite understand how I came to that conclusion.

Meetings, conventions, exhibitions, and incentive travel generated $122.3 billion in direct spending in the United States last year, according to the Convention Industry Council's Economic Impact Study, released in September. Corporate meetings and events comprised one-third of that, or $40.3 billion; association events accounted for the rest.
"What the study says more than anything else is that the industry is incredibly resilient," says Mary Power, CIC's president and CEO. "We saw some of the greatest growth up to 1999, then we had the devastating effects for two years after 9-11, and now it is coming back strong again," she says. "The recovery [indicates] that the industry takes the bumps in stride and is fairly quick to rebuild." Between 2003 and 2004, direct spending rose about $3 billion.
Conducted for CIC by Veris Consulting LLC, Reston, Va., the study was compiled from various sources, including the ExPact Study by Destination Management Association International and statistics from the Center for Exhibition Industry Research and the Travel Industry Association. Other findings:
The industry employs 1.7 million people on a full-time basis, and is the 29th-largest contributor to the country's gross national product. Although the meeting industry is not listed on the GNP, based on CIC's numbers, it would fall between the "nursing and residential care facilities" and "pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing" industries.
Looking at types of meetings, conventions and exhibitions account for $67.9 billion, or 55.5 percent, of the total direct spending pie. Corporate and association meetings generated $48.1 billion in spending, or 39.4 percent of the total, while incentive travel made up the remaining 5.1 percent, generating $6.2 billion in spending. (Conventions and exhibitions are defined as events where exhibitions make up the largest component of the meeting, while meetings have a larger meetings component.)
The largest share of the convention and exhibition dollar, 35 percent, is spent in hotels. The rest is widely distributed throughout local economies, with 24 percent spent on air transportation, 14 percent in restaurants, and 12 percent on business services.
CIC last issued an economic impact report in 1994. That study found that the industry generated $82.8 billion in direct spending, with conventions and exhibitions accounting for 63.1 percent, corporate and association meetings for 32.6 percent, and incentive travel for about 4.2 percent. The increase in meetings is reflective of the recent trend toward regional meetings, Power says.
"One of the primary purposes of the report is to gain recognition from government of the value of the meetings and exhibition industry. We are sharing the information with all our member organizations for their use in dealing with state, regional and federal governments," says Power.

Decubitus ulcer prevention; Bedsore prevention; Pressure sores prevention
Pressure ulcers are also called bedsores and pressure sores. They can form when muscles and soft tissue press against a surface such as a chair or bed. This pressure cuts off your blood supply to that area. Lack of blood supply can cause the skin tissue in this area to die. When this happens, a pressure ulcer may form.
You have a risk of developing a pressure ulcer if you:
You will need to take steps to prevent these problems.
You, or your caregiver, need to check your body every day from head to toe. Pay special attention to the areas where pressure ulcers often form. These are:
Call your doctor or nurse if you see early signs of pressure ulcers. These are:

Eat enough calories and protein to stay healthy.
Drink plenty of water every day.
Make sure your clothes are not increasing your risk of developing pressure ulcers.
After urinating or having a bowel movement:
Make sure your wheelchair is the right size for you.
Sit on a foam or gel seat cushion that fits your wheelchair. Do NOT sit on donut-shaped cushions.
You or your caregiver should shift your weight in your wheelchair every 15 - 20 minutes. This will increase blood flow and take pressure off certain areas:
If you transfer yourself (move to or from your wheelchair), lift your body up with your arms. Do NOT drag yourself. If you're having trouble transferring into your wheelchair, see a physical therapist to learn proper technique.
If your caregiver transfers you, make sure they know the proper way to move you.
Use a foam mattress or one that is filled with gel or air. Place pads under your bottom to absorb wetness to help keep your skin dry.
Use a soft pillow or a piece of soft foam between parts of your body that press against each other or against your mattress. Some common pressure areas are:
