Hello, this is an old thread so I have no clue if any of you will respond, however I'm back tracking my grand mother Ruth Elizabeth Worthington's family heritage. Apparently we have Native American in our blood thanks to a possibly a descendant of Virginia, a general as my dad heard. But now most of all the Worthington relatives are dead from the side of the Native American blood. I'm not sure if any of you guys know anything about it but email me email@example.com you have a clue, thanks.
Query: Ruth Elizabeth Worthington
April 28, 2013QUERY: Descendants of Charles Worthington (1701-1774)
January 11, 2013This is a copy of a Query Posted on this blog:
Thanks very much for the personal and prompt response. 2,196 descendants of Captain John is astounding but not too surprising considering he had, by my searches, 31 grandchildren; a GREAT start.
(If you've never read "Adam's Curse", by Bryan Sykes, it makes interesting reading on the spread of DNA down through the generations. Apparently a third of all Asians are descended from Genghis Khan.) Anyway, I'm descended from John's son Charles via HIS son Charles; from which of Charles senior's four children do you descend? I have attached an Excel copy of my family tree, if it comes through this email, and you can see the Worthington section on page 4, bottom right. My interest, other than playing with spreadsheets, is to find the other siblings of my string, down through the generations.
The fact that you know how many descendants are from Captain John and Charles means there's info out there. Is it consolidated anywhere?
Your blog is amazing. By the way, are you aware that the Worthington House at Monacacy Battlefield was bought by John Thomas Worthington, Captain John's 3rd great grandson by John's son John? Per my cousin Fred Jenkins who I believe you know or know of. Keep up the good work. Almost forgot, I had planned on attending the Worthington reunion last year but didn't make it. I live not far away in Kennett Square, Pa. You met my sister Janet. Our sister Peg Ellis is who you apparently received much research info from, as you mentioned in you blog report.
John Worthington Austin
My Reply:
Please email me your spreadsheet to:
hrworth at gmail dot com
DNA results are interesting, and J2 is the term I think you are suggesting. Don't know about Genghis Khan though.
I know Fred and met many others (not Fred) at the Reunion this past summer. Had a great time.
I was born and grew up in Chester County.
Here is a link to a Descendant Chart of Capt. John.
It may not be current, but it is online.
You are descendant of Charles Jr (1736 – 1799) while I am descendant of John (1733-1803). My family left Harford County between 1815 and 1866. Don't know off the top of my head when.
Query: Terry; Foster; Brown
June 10, 2012Query:
I'm very interested in reading more in the blog and would like to add information about my family link.
My g-g-g-grandfather is Ansel Terry married to g-g-g-grandmother Elizabeth Foster and as a widower to Lydia Brown.
One of his sons, David Nelson Terry (my great-great-grandfather) married his second wife Ruth Blackburn Scott and are the parents of My great-grandfather Rev. Lewis (Lute) Sherman Terry who married my great-grandmother Harriet "Hattie" Elizabeth Curtis
And they are parents of my grandfather Jesse Wall Terry who married my grandmother Ruth Adell Nesmith.
I'm new to genealogy research and am excited to find any family links.
Thank you,
Cathy Lowe Clark
QUERY: Bessie Worthington
February 24, 2012Hi
I wonder whether you have any information about Bessie Worthington, daughter of Henry Fraser Worthington.
She married James O'Hara Murray in 1894. James worked for Henry Rossiter Worthington as a mechanical engineer based in Europe – mostly Berlin. James married again in 1898 and is described as a widower on the marriage certificate so it sees Bessie not have a long life.
Any info very gratefully received!
Blog Query: Sarah R. Howard
October 3, 2011Below was in a comment on a blog post here and am hoping some of the readers may be able to help Sharon out.
From: Sharon Ellis firstname.lastname@example.com
My Sarah R. Howard was born around 1794 in Scott County, Kentucky, which is where Georgetown, Ky is located, outside of Lexington. She married Lyman Merriman and moved with him to central Illinois, where they are buried.
Because the Scott Co. courthouse burned twice in the 1800s, there are not many records. When I've googled "Howard" + Scott County KY", the only Howard I've found is John Howard, John B. Howard, and John Bazel Howard.
John was listed as John B. Howard and John Bazel Howard on two early Scott Co Ky censuses. I think it was 1800 and 1820. He witnessed a will of a MD native (who was part of the Catholic immigration into that part of Ky) around 1808 or 1810 as "John Howard", if I remember correctly.
I didn't know if "Bazel" was a misspelling of Basil, or if it was a family name associated with the Howard family that was given to him as his middle name. Are you familiar with any Bazel family members who may have married into either the MD or VA Howard families? I've found people in MD with the Bazel surname and probably need to research the Bazel family to see if I find any intermarriage with the Howards.
My assumptions, which could be wrong, are that John Bazel Howard immigrated to Ky with part of the 65 or so Catholic families from MD who agreed to settle in Kentucky. Part settled in Nelson Co Ky below Louisville, and part of the group who didn't like Nelson Co settled instead in Scott Co, outside of Lexington.
I assume that Sarah R Howard was John Bazel Howard's daughter. I have no record of him moving to central Illinois, when Sarah "Sally" left Scott Co. with her husband and his family. in the early 1830s. I did once find a John B. Howard in Butler Co., Ky, (I think around 1840 or so). Butler Co is 150 mi. southwest of Scott Co. I didn't see an age for that John B Howard.
I'm hoping this will ring a bell, or that you will eventually stumble across something in all your Howard research that might provide a clue or two. Would love to see your Howard ancestors and their dates/locations listed, sometime.

The amazing part of the injury to Rajon Rondo is that there are so many layers of intrigue that Rondo's unfortunate long-term absence could potentially cause in both the short and long term implications of the Celtics franchise. With so many ideas to wrap our heads around, we deemed it necessary to fire up the CelticsHub podcast for a frank discussion on a variety of scenarios the C's will undoubtedly face.
Can this team as currently composed remain competitive without Rondo? Are there other options for this team to blow it up without dealing Paul Pierce? If Pierce is dealt, would you have to make sure you can Kevin Garnett to waive his no-trade clause too? And just who would it be worth dealing Pierce for?
To break it all down, I am joined by 98.5 The Sports Hub show host and CelticsHub contributor Rich Keefe to try to make sense of it all. You can check out the podcast by listening below, or by downloading the mp3 as well.
Don't trade either. They're the heart and sole. Pierce was there when the Celtics were awful and he stayed. He's the reason there was a Big 3 in the first place. This is also Garnett's home, It's hard to believe this guy wasn't always a Celtic. Lets say that these guys were traded away and the celtics went on to win it all this year, It would be nice, but It wouldn't be the same. These guys have it in them to put together a run that would far exceed what anyone else could bring to the table in a trade. These guys play for the game, they grind, they bang, they go to war. You can't buy that. I agree, their time is coming to an end and yes it would be nice if they could get some help on the boards, but guess what? If there's nights Rondo and grab 10 plus boards a night there's no excuse for the big men they already have not to step up and start banging. Pierce wasn't a Kobe or Lebron or even Garnett outta high school, Paul willed himself to be one of the greatest, that's what wins games and titles. Get a guy like that to bang the boards and we'll get a title.
Young legs win basketball games. In two years, the team is going to face a crisis, when both players contracts are up. I have been a Celtics fan since the 60s, but trade them and look to the future. They are not going to win the East. Face it, and remember, young legs are needed during playoff time.

Ernst Fehr and Colin F. Camerer
AbstractCombining the methods of neuroscience and economics generates powerful tools for studying the brain processes behind human social interaction. We argue that hedonic interpretations of theories of social preferences provide a useful framework that generates interesting predictions and helps interpret brain activations involved in altruistic, fair and trusting behaviors. These behaviors are consistently associated with activation in reward-related brain areas, such as the striatum, and with prefrontal activity implicated in cognitive control, the processing of emotions, and integration of benefits and costs, consistent with resolution of a conflict between self-interest and other-regarding motives.

Neuroeconomics: cross-currents in research on decision-making

Despite substantial advances, the question of how we make decisions and judgments continues to pose important challenges for scientific research. Historically, different disciplines have approached this problem using different techniques and assumptions, with few unifying efforts made. However, the field of neuroeconomics has recently emerged as an inter-disciplinary effort to bridge this gap. Research in neuroscience and psychology has begun to investigate neural bases of decision predictability and value, central parameters in the economic theory of expected utility. Economics, in turn, is being increasingly influenced by a multiple-systems approach to decision-making, a perspective strongly rooted in psychology and neuroscience. The integration of these disparate theoretical approaches and methodologies offers exciting potential for the construction of more accurate models of decision-making.

Lindsay Lohan is being sued by a mobile tanning company that claims they bronzed the actress up from 2007 to 2009 ... but she stiffed them on the $40k bill.
Lorit Simon claims Lohan hired her Nevada-based company, Tanning Vegas -- and the job required interstate travel when Lohan was craving a color change.
In the lawsuit filed last week in Nevada, Simon claims Lohan racked up $41,031.60 in unpaid charges -- and even now, she refuses to settle her debt.
Simon wants Lohan to fork over the money -- plus attorney's fees and interest.
Simon has sued Lindsay before -- accusing the actress of stealing her secret formula for a spray tanning product and selling it under her own Sevin Nyne label.
Is anyone really shocked by this news? Honestly, the only thing I'm shocked at this point is that somehow Lie-ho can afford a great lawyer like Ms. Holley......well, unless the next plan by Loser Lie-ho is to stiff Holley on all her lawyer fees too.
P.S., Loser Lie-ho is definitely a load that should have been swallowed. Should have tried better, Dina.
LL feels she should get everything in life for FREE. Jewelry, tanning, fur coats, all the stuff she wears on photo shoots and more.
This girl is going to come off this pedestal with a THUD very soon. State prison clarifies what you are in life. Good luck, you snotty young woman.
Oh, man. I bet all of her creditors she still owes are smelling blood in the water. They will probably start lining up considering it's unlikely she'll be making any money in the near future to pay them.
I hope this wasn't the "something cooking" that made Harvey cut the live show short today....because an extra news story about LiLo isn't really news, is it?
I wonder how she racked up a bill that high. Why did the tanning company keep letting her tan? I mean, If I owned that company or was the decision maker - um after Lindsay owing even just thousand dollars and her not paying I would cut off her off plain and simple. No pay, no tanning service, babes! Sorry, but the tanning company is beyond stupid for letting her run up a bill that high without getting some form of payment!
Even by 2007 they should have known she was a mess. Why didn't they cut her off once she got a couple months behind on payments? Continuing to let her tan for 2 years without paying is idiotic.
I'm sorry, Dann, I called you a poet, but now you say the cure is in your pants. So, I guess you're a doctor. I stand corrected.
How do you let someone rack-up $40K in debt?! I mean, after the FIRST bill wasn't paid within 30 days, she should've been cut off. This compnay has stupid business practices and is partly to blame.

Video: The Child of Lov – "Give Me"
January 25th, 2013
So funky. The Child of Lov earlier this month released his cheeky video for "Give Me," a tune blending elements of soul, blues, and funk, and some good ol' raw charm.
According to Potholes In My Blog, the upcoming album is set to include Damon Albarn, DOOM, and Thundercat, amongst others. If this is any indication of what's to come, we certainly can not wait.

The 22 Biggest Assholes Leonardo DiCaprio Has Ever Played
Jordan Belfort isn't even the worst of 'em. SPOILER ALERT if you haven't seen many of his movies.
Jordan Belfort isn't even the worst of 'em. SPOILER ALERT if you haven't seen many of his movies.
Revenge is a dish best served cold — or, in these movies, with ample violence. As the remake of Carrie hits theaters, let's look back at the original and 19 other films offering serious vengeance. WARNING: Major spoilers for all of the films discussed.
In advance of his Mondo solo show in Austin, Texas, artist Mike Mitchell talks exclusively to BuzzFeed about his thinking behind a half-dozen of his pop-culture portraits.
Plus the quest to make Quidditch a serious sport, things you didn't know about Nutella, and China's feelings on Django Unchained.
Sorry, but the limited-edition prints are already sold out.
Not everyone loved these Academy darlings.
What Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, Lincoln, Beasts of the Southern Wild and Django Unchained would look like acted out by five and six year olds.
And will Quentin Tarantino beat out Amour and Zero Dark Thirty for Best Original Screenplay?
To launch Oscar winner predictions, we start with a category that is stupendously obvious. And another that is…not.
Just how many awards have Argo, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Anne Hathaway won this season? SPOILER ALERT: It's a lot.
Nothing says romance more than a comic sans valentine that says "wanna get Taco Bell later?" ~Swoons~ WARNING: Some NSFW language ahoy.
"Jesus isn't here. It's Jimi Hendrix."
After multiple calls for a boycott, the Weinstein company has discontinued the line of action figures.
Leonardo DiCaprio has 29 film credits, but only 3 Oscar nominations — and 0 wins. A look back at roles the Academy snubbed.
Also, is it just us or is Emma Stone probably (at least a little) creeped out by him?
As seen over the past week or so at various premieres of Django Unchained. Adorable, I say!
Jake Hamilton, who survived the most uncomfortable stand-off in the history of film journalism, shares his side of the story.
"Wiseman" wasn't included in the final line up for Quentin Tarantino's soundtrack but it didn't stop the crooner from posting it to Tumblr.
Youtube artist Lance Ford, the man responsible for the Hobbit/Goonies mashup, has done it again. This time it's the audio from the "Django Unchained" trailer with visuals from "Blazing Saddles". Is there anything better than a well-executed mashup? I think not.
Zero Dark Thirty, Lincoln, and Les Miserables stand neck and neck in the derby, with three others close behind.
Shut up and take my money! Leonardo DiCaprio is such a badass and it's nice to see Jonah Hill in a Tarantino film.
Jamie Foxx as a slave turned bounty hunter with Christoph Waltz as his mentor in Quentin Tarantino's new incredibly cool looking film Django Unchained.
Oh, the facial hair! These two photos we released today, giving us a sneak peek into the look of Tarantino's western take on the Siegfried legend.
From the new Quentin Tarantino film. "With the help of his mentor, a slave-turned-bounty hunter sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner."

Home > Research Legal Advice > Child Custody > My ex husband has filed 36 counts of contempt on me in middle of child c...
I got a public defender and she got the case moved to the criminal courts so we can have a jury trial. She said she doesnt think I will be found guilty that the charges are ridiculous. But at the same time there is not gaurentee in a jury or court. Now the PD called me said father wants me to plea guilty to a few charges and then do community service and call it a day instead of going through a full trial. I dont think I did anything wrong and I dont want a record at the same time Father is currently violating his own court orders!!! I want this to end I want peace but I dont want a record for what I didnt do but I dont want to be found guilty either and face worse penalities. I am thinking father doesnt think he can win and doesnt want to spend the money going to trial.
The public defender is likely to plead you out. They have tons of cases to defend, and that is the only way they can keep from piling even worse. They do a good job with the resources you have, but if you want more than they can provide, you will need to hire a private attorney.
In your case, you will need to speak to a few attorneys who offer free consultations. A good family law attorney may be able to help you and your ex move on in the grief process (divorce is like a death) from your own anger to focus working to raise your children to be happy , healthy, and not worried about mom or dad going to jail.

There is one reason not to use them - they don't work with IE6 transparent PNG scripts - or at least I'm yet to find a trans PNG script that does work with sprites.
Either you go for an opaque background, or with the transparency fix applied the entire image is loaded (rather than just the segment of it containing the relevant icon).
If you are using, say, white background sprites on a page with a white background, this is no longer an issue, however.

Monday, March 10, 2014
By PAUL BETIT
Staff Writer
PORTLAND — The Portland Pirates bent a little bit in the third period Saturday night, but they didn't fold.
Instead, the Pirates, who have had trouble finishing games this season, held on to eke out a 4-2 win against the Providence Bruins before a sellout crowd of 6,762 at the Cumberland County Civic Center.
"We're learning how to win," Pirates Coach Ray Edwards said. " It's a process. It's not perfect, but we'll take it tonight. I thought we played well for two periods, then we stopped. We had to deal with some adversity in the third period, but we handled it really well."
With the win, the Pirates snapped a two-game losing streak and three-game home losing streak.
"I was real proud of the guys tonight," said veteran Nathan Oystrick, who scored his fourth goal of the season late in the first period to give the Pirates a 1-0 lead.
"We battled hard and finally put 60 minutes together, I think. We hung in there and we battled hard to the final buzzer, and that's what we have to do to win games."
Portland, (5-7-0-1 and last place in the AHL's Atlantic Division) carried a 3-0 lead into the third period before the Bruins scored two quick goals.
"It was a good test for us," said Mathieu Beaudoin, who had a goal and an assist. "The past few games we're scored (upon) and we give up. Once we get under pressure everybody goes by themselves. We've got to stick together as a team. Just stick with the system. That's how we win games, and I think we did a pretty good job tonight."
The Pirates thoroughly outplayed the Bruins during the first period, holding a 14-6 edge in shots.
Oystrick extended his points' streak to four games when he redirected the puck inside the left post during the Pirates' second power play of the game. The goal followed some hard work by Beaudoin, who pushed the puck to Andy Miele near the top of the right circle after winning a battle along the boards. As Miele moved toward the top of the slot, he sent a pass to Oystrick, who had sneaked behind goalie Mike Hutchinson for the goal.
The game remained tight until Beaudoin and Colin Long scored goals 12 seconds apart to open up a 3-0 lead with less than three minutes left in the second period.
As both converged on Hutchinson following a turnover, Beaudoin slid Miele's feed from the slot inside the right post for his fourth goal.
Moments after the ensuing faceoff, Igor Gongalsky, a healthy scratch for the previous three games, sent a pass into the left circle for Long, who scored his third goal on a shot from just above the left hash mark. Rookie Jordan Szwarz also earned an assist on the play, his first AHL point.
The Bruins got back into the game when Carter Camper and Kirk MacDonald scored goals 12 seconds apart with more than 15 minutes left to play.
Marc-Antoine Pouliot sent his third goal into an empty net with one second left.

I was born on the banks of the river grew up in a floatin' shackOld Man River was my front yard we had snakes and frogs out back
I learned to cry to a steamboat whistle I cut my teets on a pal of a cat
From this big star just to make my mark
I had to fight like a river rat I'm nothin' but a river rat
Grab that net catch that fish it's all I've ever known
Trap that otter don't you miss I'll give him the great alone
With the temper of a stepped on rattler and the gall of a mean wild cat
Well the strong survive and just to stay alive
You gotta fight like a river rat I'm a meaner than a river rat
[ guitar ]
I had me a woman down the river she had eyes for me alone
She was here last night but like this wood with the mornin' tide she was gone
To the night like the great Big Muddy was runnin' wild as blind as a bat
My dream was sank when it went over the bank
It drawned all the river rats and I was runnin' like a river rat
Grab that net...
I'm nothin' but a river rat I'm a meaner than a river rat

Scotland Hills, Canterbury, Kent, CT1 1TW
Canterbury may be a place that's been made famous thanks to the talents of a certain Mr Chaucer, but there is another man who should be given a pat on the back for what he has given the region. Henry Cotton, the renowned golf course architect who is known for designing some of the greatest golf courses in the United Kingdom, went to work at Canterbury many years ago with the intention of laying down a course worth playing in years to come. And, boy, didn't he succeed? Canterbury is a challenging parkland course, with some tight fairways and heavily wooded areas - keep your ball on the fairway! There are a number of tricky holes to negotiate, including some devilish little par threes. Facilities Directions Advance Bookings |

Many of you have perhaps witnessed the recent screed about email messages from a poor, confused brother at T&S, in which he decried the use of the Forward button as a tool of missionary work and gospel preaching. We at BCC Labs feel that, not only is this T&S perma misguided (as so many of them are), but that he has done significant harm to the souls of any who walk in darkness, because they know not where to find the light switch.

Compton Reviews Mormon Convert, Mormon Defector
Todd Compton is an independent historian, having published many articles and books. He is perhaps best known for writing In Sacred Loneliness: The Plural Wives of Joseph Smith. He has two forthcoming volumes; the first, co-authored with Leland Gentry is due out soon: Fire and the Sword: A History of the Latter-Day Saints in Northern Missouri from 1836 to 1839 (Kofford Books). The second volume is a biography of Jacob Hamblin. This review was originally given by him at Sunstone West, March 27, 2010.

Friday Afternoon Hypothetical President Poll
Everyone has been talking lately about whether or not President Obama is a Muslim or a Christian, or at least talking about what other people think he is. While his beliefs may influence his actions behind the scenes, it's my understanding that President Obama doesn't regularly attend church anyway, on the grounds that to do so would be disruptive. This seems like a pretty good reason to me, and I understand that President Reagan didn't attend church during his terms either.[1]
My question is, what would a hypothetical President Romney do? Wouldn't it be pretty disruptive if he did attend a DC ward?
Talking About Talking About Stuff
Sometime married people get themselves into a situation that is hard to get out of. An issue between them — how to raise the kids, how to spend the money, what to do about the future — becomes so contentious and difficult for them to talk about that they both get tired of arguing, throw up their hands, and give up. It's easier in the short run — no more fighting! — but in the meantime the checkbook doesn't get balanced, the kids don't get any clear direction, and the future approaches anyway, whether they are prepared or not.

Nice to See It Published, But How Does It Affect Growth?
This guest post comes from frequent BCC reader Erich S.
An article about the LDS Church and its members appeared in the Financial Times last week. I have now received it from 5 independent sources, all LDS, and I can only assume you have either already read it or will receive it soon. While it is nice to see these kinds of articles giving us largely positive press, I believe they may also be problematic.

If there's anything that, in comparison, might normalize polygamy to that vast majority of Americans for whom Mormons are but cultural curiosities, it's probably blood atonement. I've earlier written in this space about the ways in which representations of Mormonism in HBO's Big Love reflect a certain religious ethos on the part of the producers; the show is in a lot of ways a leap forward in the cultural normalization of Mormonism precisely because it is capable of imagining its Mormon (and by 'Mormon' I mean followers of Joseph Smith; this strikes me as a more useful definition of the term than any other) characters as basically normal people, who take their SUVs to the hardware store and have kids with part time jobs. And indeed, this normalization of people in previously exotic marriage relationships is in all likelihood the producers' agenda. If their ratings are any indication, they may be succeeding; indeed, it appears that members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, can come into the very heart of their adversary, to the shadows of the Church Office Building in Salt Lake City, and garner sympathy.[1] Religious freedom and all that.

Revelation vs. Order
W V Smith returns with some thoughts about battling socio-religious entropy.
One of the difficulties Joseph Smith struggled with, both in himself and in the Church he founded was the tension between a doctrine of "opened heavens" and creating a functioning hierarchy in Mormonism. There are a lot of issues here, I'm just touching on a few.
The enthusiasm of early Mormonism had a down side: it was difficult to control in terms of the creation of a commonly held system of belief. There is an element of trust that is necessary in funding a knowledge base of doctrine. But if anyone has free access to the heavens, since the canon is not complete, how do you establish consistency? The answer has always been, you create bureaucracy! But this is easier said than done.

The End of an ERA
Sunny Smart returns for a second guest post.
I grew up in the shadow of Phyllis Schlafly and the Eagle Forum. Phyllis was the founder of the STOP ERA movement of the '70s and early '80s and is largely credited for the ultimate failure of the ERA. Once the ERA had passed congress and had been sent to the states for ratification, Phyllis, the LDS church–and my mom–went into action. While we lived in California, my mom was heavily involved in STOP ERA efforts. Then, not long after moving to Utah, my mom became the Utah Director for STOP ERA. And how. [Read more...]

I was captivated when, in October of 2004, Jon Stewart took his media criticism behind enemy lines, telling Paul Begala and be-bowtied Tucker Carlson to "Stop, stop, stop, stop hurting America," to their faces, on their own show. Those on the left, and many who just value intelligent commentary instead of inane partisan bickering, were cheering.

In a recent column, Ross Douthat summarizes CNN's response to Stewart, and the surprising results: [Read more...]

2010 or 2012?
Yesterday, the largest organization involved in 2008′s failed campaign to defeat Proposition 8 in California announced that it would be waiting until 2012 to make another attempt at legalizing gay marriage. While some other groups, such as Courage Campaign, have indicated that they will continue to push for a ballot measure in 2010, this decision by Equality California, which was based at least in part on feedback from many of the largest donors/contributors to the No on 8 campaign, could determine what actually happens, and for the purposes of this post, I assume that it does. Because I live in California, I personally am grateful for the possibility of not seeing this fight again next year. However, there are implications of this delay for everyone with a stake in this issue, politicians included.

I Want to be Proud to be an American
Growing up in a reasonably conservative household in Mormon-saturated Southern Idaho, I think that my first experiences with patriotism were very similar to those of most LDS people in the area: an affection for patriotic hymns, an opinion that the Stars and Stripes was the coolest flag ever, and a general opinion that America was…the best (It never really occurred to me to define further what specifically America was the best at; just that it was "the best.") The 4th of July represented the same things to me that it does to many other people in our country–baseball, hot dogs, fireworks, and freak-nasty pancakes with cold syrup at the stake center.

Reading Atlas Shrugged
I read Atlas Shrugged sitting by my son's bedside while he recovered from pneumonia in a Viennese hospital. His treatment cost us nothing, by which I mean nothing, as we not only benefited from European Union healthcare reciprocity, but also because I was not a taxpayer at the time and so made no financial contribution to social medicine whatsoever. I imagine this makes me what Rand would call a "looter." It certainly made reading Atlas Shrugged all the more delicious; indeed, I could hear her bones rattling in her Westchester grave as I turned each page. Note to the Ghost of Ayn Rand: for all the looters like me, the Austrian capitalist economy has done pretty well over the years.
I enjoyed some of the book. I liked Dagny Taggart rather a lot and thought that she, rather than Galt or Rearden, was the real hero of the story. Dagny was at her best when she struggled against the economic implosion caused, not by looters like me, but sociopaths like Galt. Her dogged determination to keep going was admirable; her eventual acquiescence rather sad. The scene where she rides her new train is quite exhilarating as such things go. She is also a rather sexy minx, which might explain some of the appeal to a male reader, although I shall deny it vociferously if accused of such shallowtude.
The build-up to the John Galt reveal is also pretty good. In large part I kept turning those pages in that Vienna hospital because I wanted to know "who [was] John Galt"? I also found myself attracted to Rand's celebration of human reason as an epistemologically good thing. These are about all the positives I can muster. Mostly, particularly the latter third when the polemic really begins, Atlas Shrugged is junk. Here's why: [Read more...]
In Defense of Passive Aggression
David Heap's temporary BCC reign of terror continues.
But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Whether of them twain did the will of his father?
(Matthew 21:28-30)
I first learned of passive aggression from K-Lynn Paul's article in Dialogue, "Passive Aggression and the Believer." K-Lynn Paul's article is excellent and, I daresay, timeless. I commend his piece to you. I do not think a lot has changed since then. [Read more...]
The fallacy of appealing to intellectualism
We hear repeatedly throughout our educations that appeals to emotion are forms of argumentative fallacy. In many cases, they are exactly such, and the interjection of emotion obscures the underlining problem and makes it difficult to resolve productively. However, in other cases appeals to emotion operate as (the only) viable forms of evidence. In these cases, the interjection of emotion into an argument should not be seen as a fallacy, but as evidence needed initially to push a conversation forward. Of course, we are familiar with the risks that come when we voice emotion, and, as a strategy, we should strongly consider looking for non-emotional forms of evidence in order to avoid these problems. But in this post I'm not interested in the good reasons to avoid emotion. Those are discussed enough. I'm concerned with the often-overlooked phenomenon that occurs when emotion used as evidence is dismissed by the fallacy of appealing to intellectual tones or modes of argument. [Read more...]
Born Alive
I often disagree with the pro-life hardliners around the bloggernacle. But the relatively recent Florida infanticide in the news lately — according to the news stories I've seen, there is not a lot of dispute as to the facts – is something everybody should agree on.
Some readers are opposed to abortion in most or all cases, but for those who are not, the only reasonable arguments for abortion rights center around the freedom and autonomy of the mother. Once a child is delivered, there is no question. Infanticide is never acceptable.
Pro-choice progressives should be more vocal in denouncing this infanticide. It's a shame that the pro-life crowd have been the only folks complaining about this incident. Yes, some conservative commenters are using the incident to make broader critiques of abortion. But that's no reason why progressive pro-choicers should not be vocally denouncing the infanticide and calling for punishment of the doctor, as well as safeguards against this kind of thing happening again.
Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address
At this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured. [Read more...]

How We Make Judgments – We're Only Human
(We now have a mechanism to provide you with email alerts of posts. To receive email notifications of posts, simply click here. http://www.thevaluealliance.com/bloxham_voice_email_alerts.htm)
I have an interest in human thought processes — particularly those that drive decision-making and behavior. Why? Part of it is because of the ramifications those unconcious processes can have beyond what we may see i.e. the butterfly's wings. I think it's also because we often see decisions we can't understand – how was that decision arrived at? – and we want to know what drove them.
This weekend I was doing some research and came across a variety of interesting connections between what we think — and our physical being. The kinds of judgments we make apparently about people and our reaction to ideas relates to our own physicality – we are human after all. It isn't something most of us are aware of (I don't think) yet it does reinforce the importance of suspending disbelief and belief in our daily encounters and decision making — and being aware.
ABC news reported on several of these studies a couple of years ago. (Read their report here: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/ColdandFluNews/story?id=6096724&page=1)
For example, according to their report, a study out of Yale found those who held a cold beverage "gave more negative or 'cold' attributes like selfishness" to a person they were meeting, while those who held a warm beverage "rated the same person with 'warm' attributes like generosity." "In a second study,they gave 53 test subjects hot or cold packs to evaluate under the guise of a product study…Afterward, the group touching the cold packs were more likely to act 'cold-hearted' by choosing a small giveaway prize for themselves, while the group touching the hot pack was more likely to choose a giveaway gift certificate for a friend." Even minor changes in movement can impact perception.
Another study "has found that whether a person is asked to push off from a desk with their hands on top, or pull in with their hands below, will influence whether they make positive or negative judgments." (Kareem Johnson, a professor of psychology at Temple University in Philadelphia who studies human behavior is cited as the author of this work in the ABC report but that is incorrect. ABC may have been referring to the work of Joseph Priester according to Professor Johnson.)
And whether you feel socially excluded or included can impact your guess of room temperature with individual estimates ranging from 54 to 104 degrees depending on whether you feel excluded (cold) or accepted (warm) according to research at the University of Toronto published in the journal Psychological Science. (http://abcnews.go.com/Health/ColdandFluNews/story?id=6096724&page=1)
Research out in May by University of Michigan professors Lee and Schwarz (Please read here: http://sitemaker.umich.edu/wing.sing.lee/files/lee___schwarz_washing_away_dissonance_science_7may2010_ms.pdf) cites earlier studies that found "Hand-washing removes more than dirt—it also removes the guilt of past misdeeds, weakens the urge to engage in compensatory behavior" (Zhong, Liljenquist 2006), "and attenuates the impact of disgust on moral judgment" (Schnall, Benton, Harvey 2008)
It also cites past and more recent research that shows to avoid buyers remorse "People reduce dissonance by perceiving the chosen alternative as more attractive, and the rejected alternative as less attractive, after choice, thereby justifying their decision." (Festinger 1957 and Cooper 2007). They tested whether hand-washing had an impact and found that it does "suggesting that hand-washing psychologically removes traces of the past, including concerns about past decisions." "Much as washing can cleanse us from traces of past immoral behavior, it can also cleanse us from traces of past decisions, reducing the need to justify them."
The New York Times had a Freakonomics article summarizing literature on similar topics in September. http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/01/cleanliness-is-next-to-morality/
And David Pizarro at Cornell has done an impressive amount of research in the area of judgment and influences on judgment. Please see http://www.peezer.net/publications/.
I think we are in early stages of understanding how our bodies impact our minds and decisions — but it is an important topic for our judicial system to consider – both in terms of influences on criminality and judgments of criminals.
See this article published last year by Inbar and Pizarro. http://www.astcweb.org/public/publication/article.cfm/1/21/2/How-disgust-influences-moral-and-social-and-legal-judgments
As boards make important decisions and listen to the conclusions of others and evaluate their own decision making outcomes, it's important to keep in mind how being merely human (in live bodies and physical environments) can impact our judgments, after all.

One Response to "How We Make Judgments – We're Only Human"
on 14 Dec 2010 at 6:58 pm 1.Melinda M. Sorensson said …
I was thinking this today in the context of any large corporation doing and holding preferences of loyal clients, where they should have a website where people simply report a concern, an observation, a thought for future product.
All decisions/preferences/habits are emotion based. It does not matter what it is. That emotion is a programmed response. An implant, if you will.
Only a self determined individual will be able to separate objective observation from the emotion evoked by anything.
The vast majority will respond according to patterns of behaviour they are accustomed to and it can't simply be traced to childhood experiences either.
