Grind Time: Going gaga for Glenlivet
BY JASON GENEGABUS / email@example.com
Earlier this month, a limited number of Hawaii residents were given the opportunity to attend Scotch tastings hosted by Pernod Ricard's Master of Scotch, Rick Edwards.
Following a series of industry events and a fundraiser tasting for the Hawaii Bar Owners Association, Edwards hosted a tasting at Ruth's Chris Steak House on Jan. 17 that was open to the public.
Seven different types of single malt Scotch — five varieties of The Glenlivet and two from Aberlour — were paired with small bites from the Ruth's Chris kitchen.
Before any food was served, Edwards took a few minutes to talk about The Glenlivet and its history, which dates back to 1824 and distillery founder George Smith. His operation was the first in Scotland to be legally licensed, Edwards said; for nearly 40 years, others had co-opted the Glenlivet name for use with other Scotch produced in the region.
According to Edwards, by 1863 more than two dozen distilleries used the Glenlivet name to market their products. Even Macallan, he said, used to use the Glenlivet name. It was Smith's son, John Gordon, who secured the right for their whisky to be called The Original Glenlivet.
Another interesting fact about Glenlivet whisky is that every variety the distillery bottles is a little different. Along with aging the whisky for different periods of time, different types of wood barrels are used to produce each expression.
"The Glenlivet is not a linear expression," said Edwards. "Our 18-year-old is not the 12-year-old that's been aged six more years."
While 92 percent of all Scotch consumed in the world is of the blended variety (single malt whisky mixed with grain whisky, often using dozens of different whisky vintages to capture a consistent flavor profile), each of the Glenlivet and Aberlour expressions tasted that day were single malts.
Here's what was poured:
» The Glenlivet 12 (aged in Amercian oak barrels)
» The Glenlivet 15 (aged in virgin French oak barrels)
» Glenlivet Nadurra (aged 16 years in first-fill bourbon barrels)
» The Glenlivet 18 (aged in Spanish oak barrels)
» Glenlivet Archive (aged 21 years in Spanish oak Oloroso sherry butts)
» Aberlour 12 (aged in American oak and Spanish oak barrels)
» Aberlour A'bundah (aged in Spanish oak Oloroso sherry butts)
With bottles priced around $30 at retail, The Glenlivet 12 is an average whisky most people are familiar with due to its lower price point. What made this event special was the presence of the higher-end expressions; Glenlivet Nadurra and The Glenlivet 18 will set you back between $60 and $80, while the Glenlivet Archive falls in the $130-$150 price range. It was interesting to taste each of the different types of Scotch and notice the differences in taste based on the type of wood the liquor was stored in.
Another interesting detail about the Glenlivet Archive? According to Edwards, while all the other whisky is stored and aged in "modern warehouse facilities" that can house up to 90,000 casks on concrete floors, the Glenlivet Archive is the only product stored in the original distillery's cellars.
"Go to Warehouse No. 1, where a padlock opens the door," he said. "It creaks open, and you step into nice, cool, damp air. When you breathe in, it just smells like evaporating whisky."
Along with the Scotch, guests enjoyed some of the signature flavors offered by the kitchen at Ruth's Chris.
First Course: Flaming Oysters Rockefeller
Second Course: Seared Scallop
Third Course: Salmon Carpaccio
Fourth Course: BBQ Shrimp
Fifth Course: Lamb Chops
Sixth Course: Ruth's Chris Petite Filet

Among men there are but few who behave according to principles -- which is extremely good, as it can so easily happen that one errs in these principles, and then the resulting disadvantage extends all the further, the more universal the principle and the more resolute the person who has set it before himself.
Immanuel Kant, Observations of the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime
[translated by John T. Goldthwait, University of California Press, 1960, p.74]The most common question I'm asked by such non-legal characters as cross my path, or get talking to me over a glass in Pommery's Wine Bar, is how you can defend a customer when you know he's guilty. Well, the answer is, of course, that you don't. Once the old darling tells you that he did the deed, you've got to advise him to plead guilty, admit all and take the consequences. If he refuses to agree, then you must leave him to his own devices.
Horace Rumpole [John Mortimer, "Rumpole for the Defense," The Second Rumpole Omnibus, Penguin, 1988, p.24; image of the statue of Justice atop the Old Bailey, London]
Many moral dilemmas are dilemmas because of a certain kind of conflict between the rightness or wrongness of the actions and the goodness or badness of the consequences of the actions. In the list of moral dilemmas in the ethics textbook I used for many years [Victor Grassian, Moral Reasoning], the lifeboat example (where some must be tossed overboard to save the others), the fat man in the cave (where the fat man, stuck in the entrance, must be killed to save the others), and several other dilemmas, include the "Trolley" cases widely discussed by moralists, are of this kind. I call this the conflict of "the right vs. the good": Our duty is to do what is right; but as a practical matter, we would just as soon have things turn out as well as possible -- as Machiavelli says in The Prince:
In all men's acts, and in those of princes most especially, it is the result that renders the verdict when there is no court of appeal. [Daniel Donno translation, Bantam Books, 1981, p.63]
Hence the dilemma: If doing what is right produces something bad, or if doing what is wrong produces something good, the force of moral obligation may seem balanced by the reality of the good end. We can have the satisfaction of being right, regardless of the damage done; or we can aim for what seems to be the best outcome, regardless of what wrongs must be committed. This pattern of dilemma may be represented in the chart.
Noteworthy are the concentration camp or Sophie's Choice type dilemmas, which do not occur naturally but are intended to present unacceptable choices either way: They depend on the possibility of constructing such dilemmas. The natural possibility of such dilemmas means that they can be constructed with bad intentions. The Nazis were not trying to teach moral lessons. They were simply trying to get people to cooperate (to do wrong for fear of bad consequences), to break down their sense of right and wrong ("You are so high and noble, what is the right answer to the dilemma?"), and to distract people from the malevolence of the Nazis themselves. Nevertheless, I have had students indignantly assert (and even leave the class) that if the the Nazi guards killed more people because certain prisoners did not cooperate, then it was the fault of the prisoners. They might have considered that the guards who did the shooting, not the prisoners, would be the ones on trial at Nuremberg.
Another complication is knowledge. If one is going to do what is right, and take a stand on principle, despite undoubtedly bad consequences (like everyone in the lifeboat drowning), then one better be pretty damn sure that the principle is true. Otherwise, many may die for nothing. Parents who wish to withhold blood transfusions from their children, or even from themselves, for religious reasons, must balance grave risk of death against no more than the certainty of their faith.
A similar problem occurs over the goodness of the consequences. Tens of millions of people died in order to bring about a communist "workers' paradise," a society without want, greed, crime, or even government, in places like the Soviet Union and Maoist China. Such an ideal has existed in many forms, but rarely with the belief that it could be effected by mass murder and slavery. In this case, it depended on no more than a certain theory (Marxism) of economics and history. The end evisioned seemed so good and humane, that this theory made it possible to rationalize murder, torture, and slavery on the ground that these were only wrongs from a "bourgeois" point of view, and so in fact "revolutionary justice." Thus, the "end justifies the means" really became a way of denying that the means were even wrong.
Such moral dilemmas cannot simply be "solved." Ethical theories that seem to provide clear cut solutions will leave out some aspect of moral life: teleological theories leave out the dimension of the moral judgment of action, while deontological theories may deny that consequences are of any concern. Human action, in general, does go for the best consequences; but there also come times when bad consequences must be accepted because we must do the right thing. And sometimes the right thing actually produces the best consequences. Thus, standing up in opposition under a communist regime would usually just get one, and possibly one's whole family and friends, arrested; but in 1989, the spontaneous protests of many in Czechoslavakia and Romania swiftly brought down the regimes. Large scale evils require the cooperation of many, of whom a large number are just going along with the crowd and afraid of being different and victimized. If even one example can give heart to those, then right action can suddenly produce the best effects.
In life, the existence of moral dilemmas throws our evaluation back to the deeper level of action: to the character and intentions of the persons. Thus, in Sophie's Choice, Sophie is an appealing person because she wants to do what is right and is emotionally torn by the moral dilemmas in which she finds herself. We do not blame her for them. If, however, she were a morally callous person who didn't care about the dilemmas or about what she did, then it would not be an appealing or tragic story, as it is. The whole project of examining moral dilemmas is a relatively modern one. We don't find it in Plato or Aristotle. With them, as in life, what we really want to know is what a person is like morally -- are they a good person or a bad person? If they are a good person, we know they will try to do the right thing, and the occurrence of dilemmas does not subtract from their goodness.
If there is no real "solution" to the conflict of the right with the good, in the sense that a solution usually seems to be expected, as by Utilitarianism, for instance, or other historical schools and theories of ethics, there is lesson in it about the nature of ethics and of value. And that lesson is the polynomic theory of value: Moral value and the value of non-moral good ends can vary independently.
I am not aware, and I doubt, that modern academic philosophers are conscious of the lesson to be found in the existence of moral dilemmas. Thus, in a review of the book of ethical theory, On What Matters, by Derek Parfit [Oxford University Press, Volumes I & II, 2011], in the New York Review of Books [April 26, 2012], we find the reviewer, Samuel Freeman, a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania, making some revealing statements. His review begins thus:
Philosophers have long sought to formulate a theory that explains the purposes of commonsense moral rules and provides principles enabling us to resolve the frequent moral dilemmas we encounter. [p.52]
We are thus told that a goal of philosophical ethics is to figure out how to resolve moral dilemmas. This leaves unasked whether it is possible to resolve some or all or any of such dilemmas, and then what it would mean if we cannot. We get no clue in the rest of Freeman's review that he, or the philosophers he mentions, has considered this. One curious thing about this presumption is that, should dilemmas indeed be things that we encounter frequently, the need for a philosophical resolution would contradict the popular principle of Wittgenstein that "ordinary language is perfectly ordered." Not ordered enough, apparently, to dispense with philosophers to deal with the matter. But if Freeman and Parfit are no Wittgensteinians, so much the better. Nevertheless, they might have paused to reflect on this point.
Later in the review Freeman says that, according to Parfit critic Allen Wood, "unrealistic Trolley-like thought experiments are 'worse than useless for moral philosophy'" [p.54]. Summing up, Freeman himself says, "If Parfit's commentators are correct, and nothing he says refutes them, it's doubtful that Trolley-like thought experiments tell us much about the general moral principles we should observe" [ibid.]. I think that this is, as far as it goes, true. However, it rather misses the point. The rules of morality do not resolve the dilemmas anyway. The lesson of the dilemmas is about the structure of ethics and of ethical value. That is what everyone has been missing.
Dilemmas similar to or involving moral dilemmas can occur with different domains of value. Thus, is good art always morally good? Certainly not. Thus, film schools commonly feature study of the films of Leni Riefenstahl (1902-2003) -- Triumph of the Will (1935) and Olympia (1936) -- which are classics of documentary film making. Unfortunately, they were also Nazi propaganda films, and Germany prohibited Riefenstahl from making movies after World War II because of her history with the Nazis. Without a doubt, however, the films are great art, whose aesthetic appeal is even copied in certainly anti-Nazi films like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), where we have a Nuremberg party rally, just like in Triumph of the Will, reproduced in loving detail. Fortunately, Riefenstahl's work is the exception rather than the rule for Nazi era art -- which generally was very bad.
Closer to home, we have the films of D.W. Griffith (d.1948). In 1915, Griffith made a movie out of a play, The Clansman, and two novels by a friend, Thomas Dixon, Jr. The Clansman was about how the Ku Klux Klan had saved the South after the Civil War. When Griffith showed the movie to the new President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, Wilson is supposed to have suggested what became the title of the movie, Birth of a Nation. The storm of protest over the racism and pro-Southern sentiments of the movie moved Griffith to make his next movie, Intolerance (1916), which detailed various historical examples of religious or political oppression. In other words, the protest against Griffith's celebration of lynching and racism was supposed to be the equivalent of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572 (when French Protestants were slaughtered). Griffith seems to have been a very morally confused person. In modern Hollywood, however, reproductions of the Babylon set from Intolerance (shown at left and below) can now be inspected at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue, next to the (former) Kodak (now Dolby) Theatre, which has become the permanent site for the Oscar telecasts. Thus, only partially in jest, I like to say that movie business liberals have built a monument to the Ku Klux Klan at Hollywood and Highland. Similarly, in Forrest Gump (1994), Tom Hanks is digitally inserted, as Nathan Bedford Forrest (the founder of the Klan), in Klan robes, into an actual film clip from Birth of a Nation. Griffith's films are beyond doubt of artistic and historical importance (and so examples of the truth of aestheticism), but his racism (like Wilson's) is less often noted.
Political control is for political ends rather than for artistic ends, and political control also becomes impatient with mere artistic and aesthetic criteria. Thus, political art easily degenerates into really bad art, which is what generally characterized the Nazi regime. This preserves us from facing the dilemma of morally bad but good art very often. A similar dynamic is evident in the Soviet Union, which attracted political enthusiasts who were genuinely good artists in the 1920's and then tended to kill or exile them, in favor of politically reliable hacks. The Soviet equivalent of Leni Riefenstahl might be Sergei Eisenstein (1898-1948), whose Battleship Potemkin (1925) is one of the real classics of movie history, from which scenes turn up even in unlikely places like The Untouchables (1987). Eisenstein suffered from the tides of Soviet politics, as his anti-German Alexander Nevsky (1938) was first suppressed in 1939, after the Nazi-Soviet pact, and then released again in 1941, after the German invasion. His three part Ivan the Terrible (1943, 1946, incomplete) didn't make it past part two, which was suppressed because Ivan turned out to be rather too much like Comrade Stalin. It was only released in 1958, as part of Khrushchev's de-Stalinization. In the same year, however, Khrushchev forced Boris Pasternak (1890-1960) to turn down the Nobel Prize for Literature, because his novel, Doctor Zhivago, had been published abroad after being rejected for publication in the Soviet Union. "The development of literature and art in a socialist society," said Khrushchev, "proceeds...as directed by the Party." With guidance like this, Soviet art, in general, became just as bad as Nazi art, for the same reasons. An attempt to stage an "unofficial" art show in a vacant lot in the late 70's, after Jimmy Carter's "Helsinki Accords" supposedly established certain freedoms of expression in the Soviet Union, actually ended with government bulldozers mowing down the paintings. Nothing independent, unofficial, or unauthorized was going to be tolerated. Despite an internationally successful movie version in 1965, the winner of multiple Oscars, Doctor Zhivago was not published in the Soviet Union until 1987.
The independence of morality from religious value is also evident in the many crimes that can be attributed to organized religion -- from the Spanish Inquisition to the Terror of revolutionary Islâmic Irân. This is commonly taken to mean that morally bad practices and actions refute the value or validity of a particular religion, or of all religions. But those who thought that the abolition of religious superstition would lead all by itself to justice and happiness were in for a shock in the 20th century, when secular ideologies, like Fascism and Communism, killed far more people than can be attributed to previous religious atrocities -- even to all of them put together. Nevertheless, this is a hard lesson, both for the religious, who see themselves as morally superior (and who, in some ways, are actually right about that), and for the anti-religious, who often use deceptions like "separation of church and state" to actually attempt to suppress the free speech and practice of the religious. The proper judgment is that the doctrines of religion, although they may contain moral teachings, are actually independent of moral judgment, which may conflict with them. Moral reasoning is a rational matter, which is over and against religion -- something that even St. Thomas Aquinas agreed with, though he did not think that conflict could arise. It does. Thus, religion sometimes needs to be morally corrected -- as must the judgment of secular ideologues.
These kinds of dilemmas, whether conflicts in action or involving art or religion, thus give us important clues about the nature of value, where the solution is the polynomic theory of value.
In the examples of moral dilemmas, however, not all of them fit the pattern of the right versus the good. The callous passerby, especially, is about something else, and it also strikes many people as no dilemma at all. What complicates the issue, as it happens, is the difference between duties of omission and duties of commission. The most easily understood moral duties are those not to do something, i.e. don't murder, don't rape, don't steal, etc. (giving others the "negative rights" or immunities to be left alone). The callous passerby, however, would seem to have a duty to do something -- jump in the water and save the boy. There are some fundamental differences between the two kinds of duties. For a duty of commission to be binding, the agent must be able to carry it out. If the passerby cannot swim, then he cannot be expected to jump in the water. Similarly, for a duty of commission to be binding, the agent cannot be expected to excessively endanger himself. This is related to ability, since excessive danger means that it may not be possible to effect the action. Ability and possibility, however, are often problematic and matters of judgment. This blurs the nature of such duties, despite the cases, like the callous passerby, that we can set up to be clear and unproblematic. Ability could be expressed on a scale of the probability of carrying out the duty, while danger could be expressed on a scale of the probability of being injured or killed in the process.
Matters get worse if we want to makes duties of commission matters of law, as in "good samaritan" laws. The breach of a duty of omission results in a wrong of commission, and this usually results in some physical evidence -- a dead body, missing property, abused victim, etc. This makes it relatively easy to know that a crime has been committed, and also provides relevant evidence of the crime. However, a breach of a duty of commission only results in a wrong of omission, which by its very nature produces no causal effects due to the agent. This means we often will never even know that a wrong has been committed. If the callous passerby walks on, and nobody notices, then the coroner's report will simply read "accidental drowning," and no one, apart from the passerby, will ever think that a wrong was involved.
This is important point to consider in relation to the nature of law. Someone who is prosecuted for not being a "good samaritan" is not more guilty than the unnoticed callous passerby but is simply more unlucky, in not being noticed. Legal sanctions should not fall more heavily on the unlucky than on the guilty. That makes for a bad law. Duties of commission, however, where we do not know about a prior positive obligation (as from a contract, parenthood, office, etc.), are about matters that by their nature may produce no evidence, or even evidence that a wrong has occurred, which means we can never know how many of the guilty, evenly grossly guilty like the callous passerby, escape. This means we cannot even know how much of a problem this crime would be, i.e. often often such wrongs occur and how many would be successfully found out by the law. It is more unusual that the fact of a murder, say, escapes notice. Furthermore, since ability and possibility cloud the nature of duties of commission, it becomes very easy to distort the evidence or to unfairly second-guess an agent who, on the spot, must often make snap judgments about what he can do in life-endangering situations. Prosecutors, as they now operate, go for convictions rather than the truth (although this is a breach, albeit unsanctionable, of their ethics), and they would be perfectly happy to portray a dangerous rescue in a stormy sea by Walter Mitty as no more difficult than an Olympic swimmer pulling a baby out of a wading pool. A jury, maliciously stacked with nitwits, may even believe them.
We see the potential for abuse of these ideas in the example of the last episode of Seinfeld. Since the victim of the robbery himself exclaims that the robber has a gun, Jerry, Elaine, et. al. are under no obligation to endanger themselves by trying to stop the robbery. Afterwards, they have a duty to remain as witnesses to the robbery, but whether they would do this or not is not even put to the test. The policeman who arrives at the scene arrests them for not having interfered with the crime. This, indeed, is a case of a breach of duty by the policeman, who should be pursuing the robber, not arresting bystanders. But we also see a possible motive: the policeman is unlikely to be shot by the bystanders, but, if the robber really had a gun, the policeman might get shot by the perpetrator. This dynamic may also be evident in what seems to be the preference of police to arrest usually harmless and passive marijuana smokers, rather than the often violent and armed speed-freaks, angel dust users, and others.
Another case provides us with some different circumstances. In a poisonous cup of coffee, we again have a difference between a wrong of commission, Tom poisoning his wife, and a wrong of omission, Joe not giving his accidentally poisoned wife the antidote. Here the motive is the same in each case -- murderous malice. It is not a matter of Joe being merely a "good samaritan." There certainly is a legal difference between the two cases. Tom's action requires malice and forethought, the conditions for first degree murder, while Joe's action is on the spur of the moment, presumably without forethought, making it a case of second degree murder. The difference between commission and omission seems less important, given the motive and intimacy of perpetrator and victim. Also, Joe's omission will not be without evidence. If the police discover the presence of the antidote, Joe is going to have some awkward explaining to do; and if he destroys the antidote, then this is a positive action, not an omission, to cover-up the effect that he did intend, the death of his wife. And there may be evidence of the purchase of the antidote. Nevertheless, although this situation is more grievous (because of the motive) and more provable (because of the evidence) than the callous passerby, Joe's omission may make the case harder to prove, or even discover, if the investigators are not alert and suspicious.
All of these examples that hinge on duties of commission are not really dilemmas, with alternatives in balance, but get included because the complications that attend such duties make it more obscure what the requirements of morality are. The dilemma is one of understanding rather than of choice. More dilemma-like, but for extra reasons beyond those of the conflict of the right with the good, is a case like the principle of psychiatric confidentiality. As a psychiatrist or a lawyer, it is one's legal, as well as moral, duty to report the intention of a patient or a client to commit a crime. The difficulty for the psychiatrist is evaluating the seriousness of the intention. A psychiatrist cannot go running to the police to report every fantasy, but he is going to be fallible when it comes to picking and choosing. Mistakes are going to happen, with tragic consequences. This is unavoidable, though some psychiatrists might be sued for negligence if their evaluations seem incompetent.
Less challenging legally, but more challenging morally, is the general circumstance that a lawyer or a priest is prohibited from divulging confidences about past crimes. A defense lawyer whose client confesses must go into court and do everything in his power to win the case, or a conviction may actually be reversed on grounds of attorney misbehavior or incompetence (British practice, as we see in the Rumpole quote above, appears to be different). The movie Devil's Advocate [1997] presents the view that a lawyer (Keanu Reeves) who does his professional duty to defend a client he knows to be guilty has done wrong to a degree that may open him to Satanic (Al Pacino) temptation. However, Reeve's determination at the end of the movie not to defend his client so competently is what is wrong, as a breach of professional ethics.
For priests and lawyers the ordinary requirements of morality are modified on the basis of a "greater good" in our familiar "right versus good" pattern. The greater good for the priest is salvation and divine justice. This easily trumps considerations of earthly justice. The priest need not worry that a perpetrator will get away with anything. Before God, justice will be done. A lawyer may be less certain that justice will be done, but his professional confidentialty is based on what is needed to protect the innocent, i.e. ensure the best defense for innocent suspects. It is not enough that the priest or the lawyer gain their knowledge of guilt just because of the agreement not to divulge it, for in any other case no mere promise of confidentiality is enough to override the duty to report crime and see that justice is done (as in the value of a promise). A contractual agreement to conceal knowledge of a crime would be an invalid contract (to be enforced, it would have to divulge the existence of the crime) and could well make the contractor an accomplice after the fact, if he takes some positive action to help conceal the truth. The considerations for priests and lawyers must therefore be weightier, and they are. In the case of the lawyer, the moral imperfections of this arrangement are similar to the considerations for duties of commission: not every duty makes for good law, and not every wrong can be fairly redressed by laws. The human condition, which is ignorance and fallibility (especially for those in authority, deceived by their own, as Shakespeare says, "insolence of office"), is what makes the presumption of innocence a good principle, what makes good samaritan laws bad laws, and what makes attorney confidentiality a good basis for the protection of the innocent, allowing that the lay citizen will have the protection of the law beyond his own familiarity or understanding of it. These are the kinds of dilemmas that arise from our limitations, not from the structure of value itself.
Duties imposed by contractual arrangements do not always, of course, change the existing characteristics of moral duty. Thus, the problem of the partiality of friendship is stated without even taking into account the duty that Jim has to protect the interests of "his firm." It is not just that he should be "impartial," but that he should be partial as a representative of his employer. Maybe he doesn't like the employer. Maybe his doesn't like his job. Maybe he thinks that a business is something that nobody needs to be loyal to, in which case he should promote the interests of his friend. Such attitudes, however, will not be good for the business, and Jim might end up getting fired for not doing a good job (unless his job is in France, where it is difficult to ever fire anyone).
Another unmentioned aspect of this situation, however, is that Jim knows his friend and thus knows things about him that he would not know about another applicant, even if the paper qualifications of the other applicant look better. In economics, "knowledge costs" means the cost or the difficulty of acquiring knowledge about relevant things, like the abilities of a worker. Since Jim knows his friend, he may know that the friend is reliable and a good worker, which may be harder to know about the other applicant -- especially when businesses have stopped mentioning negative things in their recommendations, for fear of getting sued. Jim's personal knowledge thus can be a very valuable thing and can make hiring his friend a prudent move for his firm. On the other hand, if Jim knows that his friend is not a reliable worker, and simply wants to hire him as a way of bestowing a benefit on a friend, then he violates his fiduciary responsibility to his employer.
But again, if the business is Jim's (wholly owned) business ("his firm"), then he can do whatever he likes. He can give the job to the friend, even knowing that the friend is not a very good worker, just because he does want to bestow a benefit on a friend. This violates no duty, but may simply be an act of imprudence. It will not even be that if Jim otherwise runs the business in a prudent and profitable way. Jim may simply wish to use some of his profit margin to help his friends, as other businesses give some of their profits to charity.
In this case, again, the dilemma-like quality of the problem is clarified when the nature of the obligations involved are understood. This was ambiguous in the way the partiality of friendship is presented.

1. Four Christmases: $31 million
2. Bolt: $26.5 million
3. Twilight: $26.3 million
4. Quantum of Solace: $18.8 million
5. Australia: $14.8 million
We've got three new releases this week:
Cadillac Records
What's It All About: Set in the 1950s, Cadillac Records follows the lives of several music legends including Muddy Waters, Leonard Chess, Little Walter and Howlin' Wolf and Elvis Presley.
Why It Might Do Well: A 60% fresh rating at Rottentomatoes.com.
Why It Might Not Do Well: The relatively small release will keep it out of the top five.
Number of Theaters: 600
Prediction: $5 million
Punisher: War Zone
What's It All About: Ray Stevenson takes over the title role of the skull-wearing, gun-toting anti-hero and this time he's taking on a mobster called Jigsaw.
Why It Might Do Well: Who doesn't like to watch things blow up?
Why It Might Not Do Well: The Punisher is kind of the ugly stepchild of Marvel Superheroes. Despite two previous films he's not particularly well known outside of comic book circles and this film lacks the star power of Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk.
Number of Theaters: 2,400
Prediction: $9 million
Nobel Son
What's It All About: Alan Rickman stars in this dark comedy as an egomaniacal Nobel Prize winner who refuses to pay the ransom for his kidnapped son. Eliza Dushku also stars.
Why It Might Do Well: Rickman rocks.
Why It Might Not Do Well: As with Cadillac Records, this one can only do so well with such a small release.
Number of Theaters: 750
Prediction: $2 million
I don't see any of these new releases taking the top spot. Here's how I think it will go:
1. Four Christmases
2. Bolt
3. Twilight
4. Punisher: War Zone
5. Quantum of Solace
Most of us didn't expect Four Christmases to do as well as it did, so no perfect scores from last week. Here's how we all did:
1. lostinafog: 12
2. CMWilliams: 11
3. hitesh choudhary: 9
4. Pat Campbell: 8
4. bk2ftr: 8
5. AJ Wiley: 7

Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 3
As I stressed in my column about the YEC view, creationism is ultimately about theodicy—it's not only about theodicy, to be sure, but the belief that animals must not have suffered and died before Adam and Eve committed the first sin is crucial to the "young" in Young Earth Creationism. To a significant degree, Theistic Evolution is also about theodicy.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Series: Southern Baptist Voices: Evolution and Death
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 1
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
A Pastor's Perspective on Death and Evolution
If death did not exist before Adam and Eve, how could God have used evolution to create man? And what about predators and natural catastrophes such as the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
Philip Yancey on "What Good is God?"
In this video "Conversation," Philip Yancey explains that on the way home from a trip to Mumbai, India, during which terrorists attacked the city, he began to form a list of the challenging situations he has experienced.
Series: How Could God Create Through Evolution? A Look at Theodicy
This series, written by Bethany Sollereder, seeks to address this question: "How could God create through a process that involves so much pain and death?" She first presents the two drastically opposite worldviews held by theologians and scientists. She also reflects theologically on how a world created through evolutionary means can be good, and concludes with some thoughts concerning the Fall, physical decay and spiritual death.
Series: Miracles and Science
In this five section series, Ard Louis explores the relationship between science and miracles. He indicates the self-imposed limitations of science to discover knowledge while warning against the God-of-the-Gaps explanations. Then, he explains the two types of miracles seen in Scripture: those that are divine timing and those that are violations of the natural. Overall, God sustains natural processes, but, as the master composer, he has the ability to perform miracles as well.
Death's Resurrection
Death has occurred since the first breath of biological life (and some would say since the first "breath" of cosmological life), long before Adam inhaled. Ironically, therefore, death must be a part of God's good creation. Moreover, human death due to sin must be something different than the physical death we all die.
Word Games
"Why would the omnipotent Creator of the universe use such a wasteful (and cruel) process of survival of the fittest to bring about the higher forms of life? This view of 'theistic evolution' goes against God's very nature -- and logic itself."
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
A Perfect World?
Astronomy and geology give us clear evidence that the fundamental laws of nature have remained unchanged since the beginning of creation. Whatever the effects of the Fall, they do not seem to have changed the basic laws of physics.
Southern Baptist Series: Evolution and the Problem of Evil
Were one to propose creation by means of theistic evolution, some of the presuppositions for these responses to the problem of evil no longer function. Therefore, advocating some form of theistic evolution poses problems for standard explanations of the problem of evil.
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
The Questions Update: Did death occur before the Fall?
Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "Did death occur before the Fall?", revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma. This question provides an overview of the issue and points readers to more resources within and beyond the BioLogos website.

After one of the most trying academic years in its history, Boston University graduated more than 6,700 students Sunday in a ceremony that paused in silence to remember four students killed this spring but mostly looked ahead with optimism.
"This generation - your generation - is the first fully connected generation the world has ever known,'' said the commencement speaker, Google executive chairman Eric E. Schmidt. "The fact that we are all connected now is a blessing, not a curse, and we can solve many problems in the world as a result. Not only is it an advantage you have; it's a responsibility you carry.''
Amid the celebration, the commencement on the sun-baked artificial turf at Nickerson Field carried grief and the raw memories of four deaths this semester.
BU was shaken when graduate student Kanagala Seshadri Rao was shot to death off campus on April 19. Then, two weeks ago, three BU undergrads studying abroad in New Zealand - Austin Brashears, Daniela Lekhno, and Roch Jauberty - died in a van crash.
In a brief memorial during the commencement, the faces of the four BU students killed this semester appeared on giant video screens, each looking as young and happy in their photograph as any graduate in the stadium.
"This is a time to celebrate today but also a time to reflect back,'' graduating senior Gregory Marcellin of Everett, 21, who studied health sciences, said in an interview moments before the ceremony began. "We've been challenged this year, not only academically but socially. This semester we've been on the news a lot, for a lot of bad reasons.''
Even before the New Zealand crash, the BU student body had been battered by painful events, including two cases of what appeared to be extreme hazing and the accusations of sexual assault against two members of the hockey team. Then, in an April Fool's Day prank that received national attention, the student newspaper published a satire about frat-house rape.
Sarah Ballister of Lomita, Calif., said she played Quidditch - a sport based on the one in Harry Potter novels - with injured junior Stephen Houseman, who was driving the van that crashed in New Zealand. He faces charges of careless driving after he lost control of the van when it hit a patch of gravel.
Ballister, who graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor of arts in English, said the crash had a bigger impact on her life than the other events that marred the academic year.
"The biggest shock and sadness is the recent crash in New Zealand. They'll be in all of our thoughts today,'' she said. "But this is still a joyous occasion.''
The other incidents "bothered me that it happened, but I think the university dealt with it well,'' she said. "Those things happen all over the country, it just happens that BU got more press for them this year.''
Ben Austin of Silver Spring, Md., who graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor of arts in international relations and religion, said he did not know anyone hurt or killed in New Zealand but has seen friends grieve. "People are taking the time during the celebration to remember,'' he said. "It's a weird combination, I guess. Joy and pain.''
His parents, Ken and Lucia Austin, said they have been in Boston since Friday. They've made two or three trips a year to Massachusetts every year since their son enrolled, his mother said. "This won't be the last hard thing they have to go through,'' she said. Come fall, Austin will begin a master's degree program at Trinity College in Dublin, where he will study philosophy, intercultural theology, and religious ethics.
Schmidt did not directly address the tragedies in his commencement address. But after extolling the world-changing possibilities of technology and the young people who have mastered it, the Internet generation rock star offered some advice: Turn off your gadgets for at least an hour a day.
"Take your eyes off the screen, and look into the eyes of that person you love,'' said Schmidt, one of the world's richest people with an estimated net worth of $6.9 billion. "Life is not lived in the glow of a monitor. . . . Life is about who you love, how you live, it's about who you travel through the world with.''
Another guest who received an honorary degree Sunday was Thomas G. Kelley, a retired Massachusetts secretary of veterans' services, Vietnam veteran, and Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded in a combat explosion. After the ceremony, Kelly said young people tested by the violent death of a friend tend to grow up faster. "It shows the vulnerability of all of us,'' said Kelly, who has never forgotten his friends killed in the war. He said he hopes BU students never forget about their friends who were lost so suddenly.
The university also awarded honorary degrees to Sandra L. Lynch, chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit; Norman R. Augustine, retired chairman and chief executive of Lockheed Martin; and actor Leonard S. Nimoy, who has lived long and prospered as pointy-eared Mr. Spock, the half-bred, emotionally suppressed Vulcan in the Star Trek television and movie franchise.
Upon receiving his honorary doctorate, Nimoy, who did not speak at Sunday's ceremony, spread his fingers and flashed the Vulcan salute with both hands, to enormous applause.

South Beach Diet - Any One Who's On it?

Did you know that this site used to have a forum devoted to South Beach? It was the most popular, active forum here. In fact, at one point they even subdivided it into several forums devoted to South Beach (one for Phase I, one for newbies, etc.). However we had to get rid of the South Beach forums. Fortunately Prevention recognized that all the support groups that had formed in the "On the Beach" forum wanted to continue to congregate on this website, so they created "Prevention Weight Loss Groups." While you're free to choose any kind of eating program you want, a lot of the people posting in that forum are very knowledgable about South Beach and many continue to follow that healthy way of eating. I count myself among them. Back when the diet was very popular we used to get numerous posts from people complaining that they "hated" eggs or got "sick" of eating them every day. The truth is that you can eat anything for breakfast that's on the "foods to enjoy" list for your phase. Once you get to phase II, many high-fiber breakfast cereals are allowed. Phase I is more difficult if you don't want (or don't like) eggs. I find that there are so many different ways to prepare them that it isn't a problem for me; i've been eating the veggie quiche for breakfast 6 days out of 7 (on average) for years. Yogurt or cottage cheese is also a good option. The restrictions on "dairy" aren't as strict as they used to be. Some people have leftovers from dinner. Some make a smoothie (although not being able to have fruit during Phase I may make your choices for smoothie ingredients unappealing). Black beans, or any kind of beans for that matter, are very filling and a good choice. There used to be some good recipes, including "mock french toast" and some kind of pancake made from Phase I ingredients. I don't know if we were able to retain those recipes (anything labelled "South Beach" couldn't be carried over ), but a search of the recipes in that forum might turn up some additional options. Best of luck to you. I love the South Beach way of eating. "The way to be slim is to act like a slim person."

Definition of Laryngeal palsyLaryngeal palsy: Paralysis of the larynx (voice box) that is caused by damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which supplies the larynx (voice box), or its parent nerve, the vagus nerve, which originates in the brain stem and runs down to the colon. In laryngeal palsy, the larynx is paralyzed on the side where the recurrent laryngeal nerve has been damaged, unless the problem originated with damage to the vagus nerve itself. Damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve can be the result of diseases inside the chest, such as a tumor, an aneurysm of the arch of the aorta, or an aneurysm of the left atrium of the heart.
