This stand-alone work is widely regarded as Asimov's best science-fiction novel.
Andrew Harlan is an Eternal, a member of the elite of the future. One of the few who live in Eternity, a location outside of place and time, Harlan's job is to create carefully controlled and enacted Reality Changes. These Changes are small, exactingly calculated shifts in the course of history, made for the benefit of humankind.
Though each Change has been made for the greater good, there are also always costs. During one of his assignments, Harlan meets and falls in love with Noÿs Lambert, a woman who lives in real time and space. Then Harlan learns that Noÿs will cease to exist after the next Change, and he risks everything to sneak her into Eternity.

"His most effective piece of work. Asimov's exemplary clarity in plotting is precisely suited to the material at hand. Asimov's engagement with the present is clearer here than in his other works, as is his engagement with the human." (Locus)
"Asimov's flirtation with the tropes employed by A. E. van Vogt and Charles Harness is startling for an author deemed ultra-rational and scientific....The effects of this influential, seminal book echo to the present, in the works of such writers as Greg Egan, John Varley, Kage Baker, and Greg Bear." (SciFi.com)
"Narrator's voice will not "bore you to death!""
I almost didn't buy this after reading the reviews about the narrator's voice, but you have nothing to worry about. This is coming from a listener who is already spoiled by great narrators like Scott Brick. The tone and inflections are very appropriate for the characters and create a mood that another narrator could not match. On the other hand, if hard science fiction bores you, don't buy this book. If you want a classic time-travel mystery that has surprising and satisfying twists and turns, then this is a great book! When you finish it, the first thing you will wonder is, "Why haven't they made a movie out of this yet?" It is that good, and yes, a movie is in the works. You will never forget the odd city of Eternity that sits outside of time, but feels like it is right next door!
"Superior Time Travel Story"
I think this might be Asimov's best novel. It's a very different approach to time travel stories. He uses many paradoxes that twist it's way into the perfect ending. Only Asimov can write a story like this and keep in believable.
The story consists of Eternals live outside of time as we know it. They can travel up and down through a created time tunnel in lifts called kettles. Technicians calculate changes needed throughout various centuries to minimize human suffering and war and keep humanity balanced.
One of these Eternals makes contact with someone from the unreachable centuries who doesn't want Eternity to be invented, and this person wants to help end Eternity instead of creating it.
There is a monstrous choice to be made - Asimov asks what would you do in their place? The story, in my opinion, is a foreign but credible dive into the effects of time travel, changing time and the social ramifications of doing so. Should we really interfere?
"Don't judge book until you reach the end! spoilers"
The view of the future Asimov puts out, had me very depressed. I thought for sure the author was some sick utopian from the 50's (which sickly, seems to be coming back into fashion).. anyway, his view of 'eternity' seems to be of humans living comfortable lives without want or worry, like couch potatoes waiting for a welfare check. People losing all aspiration for life and ambition, therefore stopping most tech advancement.
I almost stopped listening in fact.. especially with the view of the only Woman in the story. The view of women in 'Eternity' is a sex objects only, something you have to trick into a relationship. It all seemed a sick, sick world. The story was good, although the outbursts by the main character towards his superior were over the top. I cannot see any situation where I'd ever react in such a way. BUT
The ending is so awesome and surprising that all my previous views about Asimov were swept aside. He really did get it. It was a sick society. Adversity and disaster is how we learn and strive ahead. As for the only Woman in the story... some reviewers don't seem to have finished the end, as the previous views are meaningless. I don't want to give any more away but it'll make a GREAT movie! Inspirational ending
"Not the review I expected to write."
I grew up reading a lot of science-fiction and much of my time was spent in the public library looking for books by Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein and others. When I graduated from High School the science-fiction content of my reading became more sparse although I still liked to read a good space opera from time to time so, when I saw an Asimov novel that I had not read, I grabbed it from Audible.
To be honest I was terribly disappointed. The End of Eternity seemed terribly slow and plodding. Asimov has always been more interested in stories than in action and I expected that, but I found myself horrified at what the characters were doing (changing history "for the good of the masses") and so deciding for themselves what man's future should be. Several times during the reading I almost put the book down and, had this been from another author, I might well have done so, but I could not believe that Asimov had written and published such a tedious and disappointing book. The characters seemed two-dimensional and I found myself wondering if I would give this book a 2 star rating or 3 star rating.
In the end I was glad I persisted. As with a couple of other books I have read, the ending justified the long trek through the middle. As with other Asimov books, the story, in the end, triumphed. Still I feel I can only recommend this book to those with the patience to get through the tedious middle to reach the satisfying end.
Mr Boehmer's narration, although not inspired, is perfectly adequate for the book and does not detract from the book.
Smoke me a kipper; I'll be back for breakfast.
"Thought-provoking and Action-packed."
Story content and plot in The End of Eternity were very interesting to me. At first I found the idea of eternity and how it works rather confusing and the story seemed slow. It does become easier and more clear as the details are discussed. I loved the ethical implications that come to mind as you learn more about this entity. I especially enjoyed how Asimov doesn't blatantly point out these issues because he evidently assumes your intelligence. But it's not just intellectual, it also has plenty of action.
The End of Eternity feels like it should be broken into acts like a stage play. The main character goes through several shifts in his behavior and viewpoint and the story also takes a few big turns. The main male characters are wonderfully detailed and flawed. Asimov did an excellent job of filling out the characters but never lets you be quite sure of their motivations. The scenes where the main character has a mental break was so well-described, I could totally understand a man doing the crazy stuff he does.
The female character is a ridiculous mix of 70's free-love hippie and 50's subservient housewife. It was like a man wrote a female character from only watching tv shows. Then you have an aha moment that makes you realize Asimov has some serious skills.
The narrator took some adjusting to but I found his style very familiar to other sci-fi cannon narration.
I really liked this one. The setting and plot may not be as explosive and dramatic as some but I felt my attention was kept. Nice twist at the end. A classic writer that knew how to tell a story and didn't need to use profanity to tell it.
Indiscriminate Reader
"Great science fiction with cardboard characters"
I love a good time travel story, mostly to see what this author's take on the usual time travel paradoxes will be. Anyone who writes about agents changing history has to explain how they deal with things like the Grandfather Paradox, meeting earlier or later versions of yourself, and so on. There are a handful of well-known ways to deal with these issues (alternate timelines, a deterministic universe, special laws of temporal physics, etc.) and Asimov is rather inventive in using several of them at once.
The End of Eternity is brilliant in its construction of a civilization of time travelers and the history and technology that goes into their society and the way they meddle with time, but his protagonists are basically a bunch of whiny geeks who act like highly-educated monkeys fighting for the highest branch in the treehouse. Asimov's vision of a civilization that spans millions of years and thousands of realities doesn't include a single one where women become scientists and engineers and might join the Eternals' boys' club. The entire plot hinges on not one but two high-ranking Eternals who decide they are willing to throw all of reality into danger for the chance to get laid. I know this was written in the 1950s, but Asimov could have done better. It's like the idea of women as anything but sex objects to be coveted or to seduce men off the path of Righteous Scientific Objectivity just never occurred to him. So naturally when a girl shows up (the only female character in the entire book), she must spell T-R-O-U-B-L-E, and in this case, the end of Eternity.
I enjoyed the story, but Isaac Asimov has never been my favorite among the Grand Old Masters of science fiction; there is something just a little too cold and calculating in all of his stories. For the ideas and the plot twists, this is a fun book with a great premise, but don't expect Asimov to wow you with his nuanced grasp of human relationships. His characters are wire dummies to hang a story on.
Possibly the best Sci-Fi listen I've heard yet. The reader was also good.
"Asimov at his best"
This book is quintessential Asimov at his best. The story is classic "Science" Fiction and uses scientific concepts to ground its basic ideas and premises. If you enjoy reading a well reasoned and thought provoking story you will find it here. The book combines the best aspects of an interesting story that makes you want to know more, and Asimov's wonderful imagination that uses scientific reasoning to provide a basis for the action. The narration is also superb and gives life to the characters..
"Good for its time"
I don't usually like stories that involve time travel. This one seems like a reaction to all of my objections–it addresses most of the inconsistencies of time travel in a clever plot. It is internally consistent, while most time travel stories are not. In its time, it is genius, but now it felt dated. If you can place yourself in a time when computers were expected to be able to think, or if you love Asimov, this book is for you. While it is a classic of science fiction, I didn't think it measured up to Heinlein. If I could go back in time, I would recommend it to myself, but in my top 100, not in my top 10.

One of the most frustrating health issues we hear about from cat and dog owners is their pets' recurrent urinary tract problems. Many pet guardians are at wits' end with the repeated prescriptions for antibiotics, which may clear their pet's problem for a short while, only to have it come back again within a few weeks. Beyond the disruptive effects antibiotics can have on pets' digestive systems, repeat courses of antibiotics may impact future health treatment options for these pets, because some pathogens may become resistant to these antibiotic regimens. Holistic practitioners recognize that round after round of antibiotics is not the best long-term solution to preventing recurrent urinary tract problems, and for many pets, the key to urinary tract health can be found in the right health supportive products.
Only Natural Pet Cranberry Wellness Powder contains a unique set of ingredients that work together to support a healthy urinary tract in cats and dogs. Pets prone to recurrent pathogenic urinary tract or bladder problems or struvite crystals in the urine have benefited from the addition of these key substances to their diet. The formula may offer benefits to the urinary tract through the following actions:
The following quality botanical extracts, herbs and health co-factors were selected for the Cranberry Wellness Powder formula:

My cats do not like
By mstarat

So far my cats will not take this product. My vet has suggested I try mixing it with some yogurt and seeing if they will eat it. I had hoped this product could be mixed in their canned food but mine walk away and will not touch.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Veterinarian
i was so excited to use this on my cat. I even paid 40.00 for overnight delivery, it didn't come for 3 days. I mixed this in with his canned food and now he wont eat! this cat eats string, small rope and Styrofoam peanuts, but he has stopped eating because of this powder. he doesn't trust any food I give him now. he is sick and needs to eat to build up strength. I love the idea of this healthy holistic formula but unfortunately for us, we are worse off then before.

I believe this works!
By Jennifer Winchester
from Beverly Hills, FL
My yorkie was always having to go out to pee, almost every hour at night. Took him to the vets he had blood in his urine, they put him on antibiotics for 2 weeks and I also added this to his food daily. The vet was worried about Bladder Stones (my previous yorkie had them and needed surgery - very costly). Upon rechecking his urine about 6 days after finishing antibiotics his urine was perfect. I also notice that he does not need to go out as much so I think that this product does make a difference!! Worth a try for recurrent UTI's and bladder stones. :) It is a small container but my yorkie is only 7.4 pounds so it is lasting quite a bit. Its worth it for your pets health.

"Vet approved" product
By OM
from Woodland Hills, CA
We have two rescued dogs, found out one of them got UTI, took her to an emergency Vet (it was Sat. and our Vet was closed), found "looks like" she had a bladder stone. We took her our vet and they used Ultrasound (our vet said that quite often, X-ray does NOT find as much as Ultrasound does), turned out that she didn't have a bladder stone but polyps (no life threatning condition in her case, as well as no ristriction for foods and activities.) We feed them high quality kibbles, organic veggies and fruits for their normal diet, as well as we prefer "holistic" approach to them, our vet respect that. We printed out this "Cranberry Wellness" product information and bring to our vet, she DID see (took memos as well what's in it)and she had NO problems with this product including what we feed their normal diet, basically she told us that keep doing what we are doing (feeding what we feeds as well as THIS product). We give this product to both of our girls for prevention. We have NO complains about this product, at all. Easy to give, good price, and what it does AND most importantly, what's in it.

What the Vet Ordered
By Sandy
from Austin, TX
My dearest Skye is a rescue dog. I adopted a puppy with a severe urinary infection that antibiotics fought off. Then it came back, again and again and again regardless of the treatment. Having personal experience with the issue, my DR told me to take vitamin C to keep my urinary tract acidic. I had Skye tested and she had a very alkaline urinary tract which can foster bladder stones and infections. I fell back on what helped me and did research to find something that would help Skye be acidic. I found Cranberry Wellness. I have given Skye 1 scoop for her 50 lbs after the first 3 weeks for the last 5 years. It has kept my dear Skye without a urinary infection since. I realize the instructions indicate not giving this dose past 3 weeks, but getting a dog to take vitamin C is not happening. This product gives her the C she needs. And I get to have the heck on wheels dog I love!

I am generally happy with this product
By Feline Friend
I usually love this product but this time seemed to have a moisture problem. Although the container was sealed well the powder inside seemed to have clumped together. I have to scrape a lot to get the dose I need for my cat. This is the first time I have had this problem so I probably would still recommend the product.

This product saved my Pugs life!
By Lisa
from Oakland, Ca
I am so happy my vet suggested this powder to me. My 6 year old female pug developed bladder issues partically because of her short, compact shape, and partically due to her fate too. I've been giving this to her ever since she had very bad stones that in combination with this, and med's never came back. Its easy to give to her (I just sprinkle it in her food), and thats it. She has never had actualy stones again, and its because of this. Thank you Natural Pet for making this!

Works great!
By Danny, black cat lover
from Tyler, TX
I have been using this powder for only about 5 days, and have noticed a HUGE difference in my cat! He suffers from a painful bladder and develops struvite crystals from time to time and nothing I could do, including giving him antibiotics, would work. After only 3 days, I could see he was spending less time urinating in his litter box, and was urinating a lot more and not crying out in pain! He is VERY picky too, and I was afraid he wouldn't like the powder in his wet food, but he doesn't seem to mind it at all. This product is great and works exactly as it's supposed to!

Photos: 'KC' logo going up on back of CrownVision
Fans driving on I-70 past Kauffman Stadium will see crews doing work on the back of the CrownVision board. The 'KC' logo is going up this week! Here are a few pictures from this morning and a rendering of what the final logo will look like. The project will take about a week. Check the blog as we post more pictures!
13 Comments
WOW. I cannot stress how much I DISLIKE this design for the back of CrownVision!! It looks cheap, tacky, and out-of-place. I don't understand why it was done this way… They have had the entire offseason to put something together, and this is the best they could come up with? I am completely disappointed….
Am I over-reacting to this? Probably. I just value tradition, and as long as the product on the field is sub-par, I am going to be very picky about my Royals when it comes to the organization being very NON-traditional.
I thought the plan was for the back to be blue, with a white "KC" Logo? just look at the 3D model of the "New K"… the back is BLUE with the WHITE "KC" Logo there, too! I mean, the "KC" in the rendering looks great, but it's on that silver metal background, and that's nothing like the old one looked like… I thought's what ya'll were going for…? A little bit of tradition, with a modern twist. This design is anything but that.
Going to echo what everyone else is saying. The KC looks too small, should be white on blue, not blue on white.
What a ghastly design. The Royals never fail to satisfy my masochistic yearnings.
I agree with soulwinner . . . this design definitely doesn't do the crown justice. The back needs to be blue with the white lettering (like the old back of the crown). I'm all for updating and progress, but there are some things that should stay traditional and the back of the crown is one of those things.
On another note: another tradition should always be the name of the stadium. Honoring Mr. K is the best thing the organization has done (since winning the World Series).
Hopefully, someone that gives a rip with the Royals will read this and the message board to get feedback. It's bad enough the product on the field gets RAMMED down our throats year after year. Now we have to put up with a Frankenstein ballpark that more and more people are shaking their heads at….. tisk tisk.
They need to do something on the back of the base of the crown. They need the smaller crown balls like on the old scoreboard. It looks bad that you can see the supports for the front of the crown.
And the background needs to be blue. That was what the design was on the 3d model and the sketches.
Click on the last photo showing the KC. The photo is bent. Do you mean to tell me they printed the photo and scanned it to put on the webpage. Couldn't they just upload the photo from the camera media.
I take it back about the back of the crown. Looks like they put something across the back to hide the supports.
I was told that the back of the Crown would be a little more "complete" this year versus last year. I don't know if that just means flat metal panels in gold, or if they will have a few more "Royal Balls" back there. I guess we will see pretty soon, eh?
And yeah… the whole thing is NOT growing on me…..
Don't like it at all… It will not stand out like the White "KC" on a Royal Blue background from I-70
I commented on this on facebook yesterday, but I decided to go straight to the source. I'm with everybody else on here. I do not like this one bit.
I do like that the back of the crown will be finished and actually have a ring shape like a crown. The supports don't bother me. What does bother me is the back of the scoreboard. It should be blue. BLUE. Not white. Right now, from the highway, it looks like corrugated aluminum like a 'tin roof.' Making it blue would really help that, and putting a big, white, KC on it would make it look right. It would be nice if the flat surface could be extended to make the letters bigger.
Last year when the crown didn't look right, it was taken down and changed. This needs to be changed as well, even if it isn't ready for opening day. Getting it right is more important than getting it now; at least that's what the company line is. That's why we, the fans, are trying to be patient with the product on the field. Though that patience too wears thin.
When I drove by this morning the KC was barely started. Just had parts of the letter K. So was the picture they posted a mock up of what it is supposed to look like are did they decide to redo it.
Check out the video the KC Star has posted up…
The model of the New K and the design photos had a dark blue background with white kc letters. That looked a lot better than the blue letters on gray background they are putting up.
Please reconsider and put up dark blue panels on the back and sides of the video board or paint over the gray panels and install a white KC logo.
Actually what would be good is to paint how the original back of the old score board was on the back panel of the video board. complete with the lighter colored blue and the KC and big R along with the crown. Basically just paint the original Royals logo on the back of the scoreboard.
And on the side panels put up in large letters from top to bottom spelling out Kauffman Stadium.
Just a thought from a longtime fan.,,
According to the video on the KC Star website none of this was in the original plans and it's essentially a gift from the Glass family to the KC baseball fans. That's the biggest PR load of crap I've heard in a while. It does seem to be in keeping, however, with the Royals ticket sales mentality – "promotions instead of players".
Tradition or non, this looks like lame and doesn't even look appropriate with the style of the new renovations.

Associated Press Release
SPARR, Fla. (AP) -- Officials at a Florida high school cancelled a few games after what appeared to be a small sinkhole opened on the baseball field.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports North Marion High School baseball and softball games were cancelled Wednesday after the hole was discovered near a sprinkler head in left field. Officials are calling it a "depression."
Supervisor of facilities Robert Knight told the Star-Banner that school safety officials will dig into the ground near the hole on Thursday to determine whether it's a full-blown sinkhole.
If it is a sinkhole, Knight says the school district may order a geological survey of the area.

Good Times With The Goodguys - Del Mar 2006 Auto ShowWritten by on July 21, 2006 Contributors: Rob Fortier The Del Mar 2006 Auto Show
Springtime in Del Mar, California, is a perfect time--the lush green, brisk sea breeze, and all those old cars! Another Goodguys show was upon us, and we had quite a bit of work ahead, not to mention the tough job of picking the CLASSIC TRUCKS Top Ten for the show.
It's always good to have surprises, but we weren't prepared for the number of stop-you-in-your-tracks trucks spread around the fairgrounds despite a few spotty showers over the weekend that deterred the lightweights, who weren't missed in the end. There was a nice concentration of trucks and plenty of hot rods and customs to suit just about any taste. I even spotted our fair editor's old '55 Chevy truck cruising down the midway.
Speaking of the midway, there were plenty of vendors to cruise and shop. Many out-of-towners use the opportunity to meet the people behind the pages of their favorite catalogs and have the instant gratification of hauling something home with them. The swap meet was small this year, but full of everything from little goodies to restored cars and trucks.
Since we are on the clock at events, it's always nice to have the hospitality of vendors like PPG and Air Ride offered to cool our jets, not to mention the help of Tony from Air Ride to fix my rental, the Street Rodder '36 Ford Road Tour car! All in all, we had a great time and managed to bring back some fine features. Enjoy, and make plans to be there next spring; go to www.good-guys.com for the complete schedule.

Right on! That's what came to mind when we found this Model T roadster pickup paired with wire wheels and a surfboard; it looked like it belonged on all those hot rod-inspired records from the '60s. Wayne Heidt's only tech specs on the RPU consisted of "original" and "old"--he forgot "boss!"You wanted to lean over and lick John March's C-10 to see if it was as tasty as it looked! The blacked-out grille was a nice touch that kicked up the Chevy's class.Lorenzo Menzo wasn't messin' around with his '63 Chevy! The taildragger has more flake in its roof than you might think possible, but hey, it works. With that in mind, so do the Raider wheels, whitewalls, and white tuck 'n' roll job.The folks from CPP had their hands full all weekend with prospective customers taking the opportunity to handle all of CPP's goodies. This smart customer put his order in for some of those slick new Chevy A-arms.The Aqua Phonics were busy all Saturday keepin' everyone's ears full of good surf tunes while they munched on a wide variety of grub at the fairgrounds.When was the last time you saw a Hudson Teraplane used as a push-truck for a 430 Lincoln-powered front engine dragster? Ted Cyr from Escondido, CA, owns the unlikely pair--wait, they're unlikely on their own!
Boy, do I have a home for this sucker! Ford Racing teased everyone with some cool motors, even members from the "other side."It should be apparent why Gary Coe's out-of-this-world '57 F-157 is in our Top Ten after gracing our cover, followed by a full feature and even more googly eyes! The 4.6 Ford-powered space truck was brought to our planet through the skillful hands of Steve's Auto Restorations in Portland, OR, and features more of everything you never imagined, all in the right noodle-scratchin' spots. If you missed our August issue, you'd better get ahold of one now!This is Gary Coe's "other truck." For all intents and purposes this '57 F-100 is stock and was used as a real-life side-by-side comparison with the F-157, kind of an automotive Where's Waldo. Aside from its intentionally rough exterior, there's a Fatman clip and a 500-inch Cadillac between its rusty fenders that scoots the as-cast "Daisy" mags along nicely. Love 'em or hate 'em, the pair makes an undeniable impact in person.Putting a 392 Hemi in just about anything is a good idea, and this '53 F-100 fills the bill, but the House of Kolor Ultra Orange Pearl paint usually gets to your eyes before the tall-deck Chrysler motor does. Marta Richardson of San Marcos, CA, owns the Kugel-clipped and Richmond 5-speed-equipped Effie.We're a sucker for sixes, and this '57 named Lucille had a cool Clifford-dressed 235. The Chevy underwent a frame-off restoration in '04, and its owner, James Roberts, hasn't looked back. Gary Jenson's red paint job shined all the way from El Cajon, CA.It's good to meet younger people who are into older trucks, and Nick Murguia from Cypress, CA, is no exception. He and his dad tackled the resto on their '71 Cheyenne Super shortbed. The two-tone Bow Tie runs as good as it looks, which is good since they keep its odometer spinnin'.It was tough to get a clear shot of Todd Williams' '57 Chevy with the crowd around it all weekend. The PPG Diamond Graphite and Black paint with silver-leaf accents was a home run! The ZZ4 pumps out a potent 385/385 on the dyno. The A/C was mandatory to keep Todd cool on the leather while back home in Phoenix, AZ.Havasu Blue is the color on Chris Meier's '55 F-100, and boy does it pop in the cool California sun! The ivory and camel interior makes for a comfortable cabin, which is a must since the Ford has dual tanks so as not to be put to shame by any late-model! The one-piece side glass and widened rear fenders make for some smooth, subtle touches. Look for an upcoming feature.
Curt Holmquist had a sleeper of an old truck. His nostalgic '40 Ford had a subtle ice blue paint job that covered the all-original steel well and worked with the white tuck 'n' roll. Under the hood was a 350/350 crate combo that hangs above a Mustang II clip. The Vintage Air keeps him cool when he's back home in El Cajon, CA.There are always some cool people to meet at these events. We got the chance to meet musician Rod Piazza in Del Mar after picking his clean '69 C-10 for a Top Ten. The truck is slammed on stock underpinnings and has a 350/350 combo, A/C, power discs, underbed tank, and Flowmasters. Rod looks cool cruising on the 20-inch Intros around Riverside, CA, when he's not out on tour.Everyone walking by this little black truck from Laguna Niguel had to stop to check it out. The deeper than deep black was framed by red pinstriping, but the truck's real frame was from TCI and held a tire-smokin' LT1 backed by a 200-R4 and a Ford 9-inch. Owner Dale Hadfield was all grins, and for good reason.

Tallahassee - July 5, 2012 -
On Monday, State Representative Leonard Bembry sent a letter to the Governor requesting the Governor's help in securing emergency funds from FEMA, upon the completion of FEMA's assessment.
Representative Bembry also requested that the Governor grant three to five days of administrative leave for those State Workers whose homes have been damaged or destroyed, those with no electricity or water, those forced to relocate to another area due to flooding , and those denied access to work due to closed roadways. "When touring the devastation off the Sopchoppy River, I met employees who were forced from their homes, or unable to leave due to the tremendous flooding." Bembry continued "In these difficult times, it is important that we act fast to bring help to people faced with these hardships in the aftermath of Debby."
Representative Bembry asks that those affected by the storm call his office for assistance. Representative Bembry stated "Our hearts and prayers continue to be with the people affected by this devastating tragedy. I encourage those who are in need to call our office. We are here to help those in need in any way possible."
Letter from Representative Bembry to Governor Rick Scott:
The Honorable Rick Scott,
As you know, Debby powered through North Florida, bringing over 25 inches of rain throughout our area. It displaced families, disrupted daily lives, and put hard working people out of work. The storm damaged homes, farms, and business. It took out the power that kept restaurants and local shops open. For the people affected by this tragedy, it wasn't just a house or a store front the storm destroyed, it was their daily lives.
With thousands of homes and business hurt by Debby, it is important for the local economies of these communities that the damage be repaired as quickly as possible. Once FEMA has completely finished its assessment of the area, I urge you to move swiftly and decisively in securing aide for the affected areas. The faster we bring aide to those hurt by this storm, the sooner we can begin the process of recovery.
I also ask that you help our state employees who have been affected by this storm. Many state workers across the state are unable to go to work, due to damage to their homes, flooding, or displacement. I ask that you grant three to five days of administrative leave for those state workers who fall under the four definable circumstances below.
• Home has been damaged or destroyed by the storm
• Those with no electricity or water
• Forced to relocate to another area due to flooding
• Those denied access to work due to closed roadways
We also ask consideration for those state workers who were directed by local government and statewide media to stay off of the roadways and in their homes for the day of June 25th.
The people that sent us to Tallahassee to serve need us to do what we promised and work for them. I urge you to get these people the help they need so that they can get back the things that Debby took away.
Leonard L. Bembry
State Representative

"...You better be good or Sally Skull will get you..." – frontier mothers to their children.
"I don't give a damn about the body, but I sure would like to have the $40 in that money belt around it." – Sally referring to putative drowning of husband number four.
"Sally Skull belonged to the days of the Texas Republic and afterward. She was notorious for her husbands, her horse trading, freighting and roughness." – J. Frank Dobie
Above are just a few of the comments referring to the notorious Sally Scull, taken from an article titled "Publications of the Texas Folklore Society Number XLIII, Legendary Ladies of Texas." On Tuesday, Nov. 27, at 6:30 p.m. in the Joe Barnhart Bee County Library, the Bee County Historical Society will present "the rest of the story".
Kay Mix, a member of the BCHS, will present an interesting and entertaining program about this true folk character. According to the above publication, Sally arrived in Texas in 1823 as a 6-year-old child. Stories of her horse trading and freighting, especially during the Civil War, are legendary. According to legend, Sally had five husbands, one of whom she shot, and, supposedly, she died at the hands of the last.
For an entertaining and fun evening, make plans to come to the library on Tuesday. Refreshments will be served. For more information, call Shirley O'Neil at 343-3119.

Global logistics: FedEx Trade Networks forms strategic alliance with Fritz Companies Israel
In the company's continued effort to strengthen its global operations, FedEx Trade Networks has established a strategic alliance in Israel with leading international freight forwarder Fritz Companies Israel T Ltd.
July 07, 2010 - LM Editorial
As part of its ongoing global expansion, FedEx subsidiary FedEx Trade Networks, the company's global trade arm, said it has chosen international freight forwarder Fritz Companies Israel as its sole Regional Service Provider (RSP) in Israel. Company officials said this partnership will provide shippers with expanded international ocean and air freight forwarding services.
Fritz Companies Israel has more than 400 employees located at distribution facilities throughout Israel. And it has significant air and ocean volumes between Israel and various locations where FedEx Trade Networks operate globally with its company-owned offices and other RSPs, according to FedEx.
"As we continue to build our global infrastructure by opening FedEx Trade Networks-owned offices, we are also establishing strategic alliances with RSPs who support our ocean and air programs for specific countries in which we do not operate directly. Over the last 20 years Fritz Companies Israel has established itself as a leader in the Israel freight forwarding market and the company has the local expertise, infrastructure and capabilities we look for in our RSPs."
Beeman said that strategic alliances like this one add to FedEx Trade Networks' global presence by helping provide supply chain solutions for its rapidly expanding customer base. And she added that building the strategic alliance with Fritz Companies Israel demonstrates that both companies are listening to customers who have indicated that they prefer a provider that has global reach, high service reliability, is innovative and who offers real customer supply chain solutions in the regions in which they trade.
Over the past two years, FedEx Trade Networks has opened 26 company-owned offices throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America as part of its global expansion plan. This announcement marks its first strategic alliance in Israel.
In terms of the benefits that this strategic alliance will bring for shippers, Beeman said that it is a mutually beneficial relationship that will give current and new customers of Fritz Companies Israel access to the global reach and strength of the FedEx brand, and FedEx Trade Networks customers will gain unprecedented access to the Israel market.
"Through the alliance, both companies will offer expanded international ocean and air freight forwarding services, further solidifying their commitment to superior customer service in Israel and around the world," said Beeman. "[Shippers] will benefit from increased local market presence, providing improved freight forwarding service offerings productivity and end-to-end support; direct access to local personnel with industry experience and local expertise; expanded regional access to services; seamless support across other FedEx operating companies and enhanced access to the FedEx global network; and access to the FedEx global network."

A mix of internal reforms, stakeholder insights and foreign pressure has begun to change that. An overhaul of the Drug Administration Law is pending and has been cited as a priority by the Chinese government. In March, the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) was reorganized to give drug regulators more independence and a higher profile. The renamed China FDA (CFDA)now reports directly to the government's top executive body, the State Council, instead of the Ministry of Health, and incorporates several formerly separate bureaus responsible for quality and safety inspections.
The question now is— what next?In a measure of how much China has changed, stakeholders outside the government have decided to weigh in. The most prominent example is the intensive review of the entire decision-making chain behind new drug approvals in China just completed by a cross-functional multinational team of experts convened by the Pharmaceutical Law Institute of Beijing's Tsinghua University. The Institute team, led by its chair, Dean of Tsinghua Law School Wang Chenguang, and with tacit encouragement from the leadership of the CFDA and Ministry of Health, has spent the past year examining process and policy in three specific areas:
» Approval and conduct of clinical trials
» Registration rules and requirements
» Institutional functions and capabilities
Three expert working groups were established around each topic, each led by two rapporteurs, one from China and the other from the United States. A combined report—"Building a 21st Century Pharmaceutical Regulatory System"—was released on June 23 at a Pharmaceutical Law Institute event in Beijing hosted by Professor Wang. The event featured the participation of representatives of the new CFDA as well as the State Council's Office of Legislative Affairs.
A new regulatory roadmap
The report concluded that revision of China's Drug Administration Law should focus on nine integrated objectives. Highlights include the following:
Improve administrative procedures and put additional resources behind efforts to make China a global center for R&D in innovative medicines, including biologics. Greater clarity in rules for the conduct of local clinical trials and allowance for the use of relevant foreign trial data in registration applications are critical if China is to succeed in developing new drugs that will win approval in the global market. "Currently, a Phase I study sponsored by a multinational company can only be conducted in China if the compound is already registered or undergoing Phase II and III trials in other countries. This discourages these companies from including Chinese sites in multinational clinical development programs, which makes it harder for China to realize its objective to be a leader in the registration of new global innovative drugs," said Ken Kaitin, Director of the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development in Boston and co-rapporteur for the report on clinical trial issues.
Increased transparency and outside participation in the drug evaluation and approval process. This can be done through such measures as advance notices on regulatory actions and the systematic inclusion of industry, academia, patients, and other stakeholders in decision making. Too often, the report says, regulators operate in "campaign mode," consulting others only as they see fit. An important reference in the report was keeping intact that regulatory "firewall" between the market authorization and "value," i.e., pricing. Such differentiation is fast eroding in the mature country systems.
Harmonization of local approaches to trial management, ethical oversight/compliance, registration applications, manufacturing, patient safety, and risk management according to internationally accepted norms—essentially raising the bar on local performance to better prepare Chinese manufacturers to compete in the global market. The team emphasized that China is currently proficient in producing generic drugs, but if the country wants to move beyond that, with new medicines that innovate for undertreated diseases that distort public health, the regulatory system must change—beginning with these and other related approval procedures.
Bolstering the platform is a strong endorsement of IP rights, in which the report noted that China's implementation of the WTO TRIPS treaty still lacked "clarity." The problem of patent linkage was addressed by recommending a new procedure to help originator patent holders ensure CFDA is aware and can respond to infringements by generic producers. Another point was the need to formally confirm that both imported and domestic medicines are eligible for data protection, with advance notice to originators given prior to the registration application.
Improve the institutional capacity and effectiveness of drug regulatory agencies, through actions like better defining the CFDA's legal status; introducing formal science-based review criteria; creating a clear pathway for accelerated review of the most promising therapies, and applying this equally to domestic and imported drugs; and establishing clear lines of authority between CFDA, other central government agencies with a mandate to maintain public health and—most important – the provincial administrative authorities. At present, the Drug Administration Law fails to set a clear demarcation between the functions and responsibilities of the various regulatory bodies for drugs, and local authorities are subject to strong political pressures that limit their independence. Reliance on independent examiners and experts was also cited as a way to raise the skills base and professional qualifications of regulatory staff, which was profiled as being way below international norms.

A ProstaScint scan uses an injection of low-level radioactive material to test for the spread of
prostate cancer.
This test is given to men who have
prostate cancer
to see if it has spread to the lymph nodes or other areas.
Complications are rare. But, no procedure is free of risk. If you are planning to have a ProstaScint scan, your doctor will review a list of possible complications. These complications may include:
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the test.
Your doctor may do a
bone scan. This is a test that detects areas of increased or decreased bone turnover. It can reveal bone injury, bone disease, or cancer spread to the bones.
Before your test:
For the scan, you will be positioned next to a device that takes images.
The radioactive material that was injected into your vein is attracted to prostate cancer cells in the body. Whole body images will be taken to detect areas where the material collects. This is done to find out if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other organs away from your prostate.
You will be able to leave after the test is done. You can resume normal activities. You may need to return the next day for more images.
1-2 hours
Your doctor will review the images. The results will be ready in a few days.
Call if you have any questions or concerns. In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

MARSHALL COUNTY - Some people living in the path of the Williams Energy de-ethanizer's route are not sure how the massive machine is going to make it from the Benwood CSX rail yard to the Fork Ridge Road Oak Grove facility without causing some problems along the way.
However, representatives from county offices and the company are working to ensure the move is done safely.
The 41-yard-long device that weighs 510,000 pounds and is 14 feet wide is set to depart from Benwood aboard its modular platform trailer at 8 a.m. Thursday, according to Williams spokeswoman Helen Humphreys. At a top speed of 5 mph, the "superload" likely will not reach its destination until Sunday.

A 41-yard-long de-ethanizer sitting in the Benwood CSX rail yard will make its way to the Williams Oak Grove facility along Fork Ridge Road.
Humphreys said the de-ethanizer is the largest single piece of equipment Williams has moved in Marshall County. She said the machine's intricate construction pattern required that workers build it in Houston, Texas, rather than on-site at Oak Grove.
Plans call for the de-ethanizer to sit at Butch's Corner at the intersection of W.Va. 86 and W.Va. 88 on Thursday night; at the Mountaineer Mart in Pleasant Valley on Friday night; and at the area commonly known as the McElroy substation along Fork Ridge Road on Saturday night before making the final leg of its trek to Oak Grove.
Dave Smith, transportation supervisor for Marshall County Schools, said his first notice about the de-ethanizer move came from reading the newspaper Sunday.

"They are right on our main routes," he said. "If I can't get kids home, parents are going to be all over me."
Smith said the Division of Highways informed him Tuesday that school buses should be able to make it around the superload on Thursday and Friday with the assistance of the law enforcement officers escorting it along its journey.
"It is my understanding that school buses will be able to get through," Humphreys said.
Meanwhile, some people - like Robert Coffield of Pleasant Valley - are concerned emergency vehicles will have issues maneuvering around the superload.
"I think they will have it hung up everywhere," he said. "I don't see how they are going to get it around these turns. What if an ambulance has to get through?"
Tom Hart, Marshall County Emergency Management director, said ambulances and other emergency vehicles should not have too much difficulty because law enforcement officials will constantly monitor the superload's progress.
"If there is a need for an ambulance, they will send a unit from the other side of the load to avoid it," he said.
Despite the plans that are in place to alleviate potential problems, Carla Ralbusky of Sherrard said she worries that road or bridge damage could occur from such a heavy piece of equipment.
"These roads are already in terrible shape," she said. "These companies should be paying for the repairs, with all the money they are making here. (W.Va.) 86 is really bad."
Brent Walker, spokesman for the state Department of Transportation, said Williams would be liable for any damage.

Cheryl Cole on Simon Cowell: 'Irritated to be asked about X Factor boss'
12:31 01 June 2012
Former X Factor judge Cheryl Cole has said she is irritated people keep wanting her to talk about Simon Cowell.
The Girls Aloud singer who is releasing her third solo album said she not "even think" about show supremo Cowell any more.
Cole had a successful stint on the UK version of The X Factor but was publicly dropped from the US version in 2011 only weeks after being given the job.
Speaking to Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2, she said: "In my mind it's years ago, but people keep talking about him. It doesn't matter where I go, what interview I'm doing, people want to talk about Simon."
She said she is not likely to work with him in the future, adding: "Don't really even think about Simon, doesn't really come into my brain."

Raleigh, NC (Sports Network) - Eric Staal scored the game's only goal and Dan
Ellis saved 33 shots to notch his 13th career shutout, as the Carolina
Hurricanes blanked the Ottawa Senators, 1-0, on Friday at PNC Arena.
Alexander Semin and Joe Corvo each added an assist for the Hurricanes, who
have won three of their last four games.
Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson, fresh off being named the NHL's First Star
for the month of January, stopped 34 shots in the setback, which snapped the

Lawsuit over Fake Pluralism?
A serious question for those who know about such matters: Is there a point at which the "needs improvement" departments get to take legal action of some kind?

What is this, France?

Highly unlikely. As what, defamation? Insanely hard to win, lots of talk about "facts" and "opinions" that means nothing but wins dismissals, etc. And a bad idea anyway: almost all defamation-etc. suits, unless the plaintiff's reputation is totally destroyed, just make matters worse by publicizing the allegation. (Ditto with weird commercial tort lawsuits that might be brought instead of actual libel claims.)
- August 16, 2011 at 1:31 AM
Good grief, let it go already folks. We are talking about damn philosophy departments -- you know, the area of the academy with very few jobs, and even less leverage. I dig Leiter's work on Nietzsche's moral psychology, but the guy produces a ranking system that is so very incestuous, even though I too think the Pluralist's rankings have the same stink. This whole affair makes me embarassed to be a philosopher. A lot of carping about largely inconsequential garbage.

Paul is a more experienced lawyer than I am, but I agree with him. Such a suit would be extremely hard to win, and it's not clear what winning would get the department. (What are the damages?) It might do more harm than good (old and perhaps no longer relevant dirt brought up, people telling stories, people looking petty, etc.) A law suit is rarely a good idea unless you are going to get a lot of needed money. That wouldn't happen here. It would be an awful idea.
- August 16, 2011 at 10:01 AM
I'm not trained in the Law, but going by my seventh-degree Internets Skillz, any sort of Streisand Effect generated by a lawsuit, as Paul notes, could prove counter-productive. But, going by the latest Google search, looking up "Pluralist Guide" brings the controversy to the first page of the search results. Given this, I suppose I wouldn't worry all that much about innocent students stumbling across the guide and (at least) not discovering this context on the web. Cross-linking: it's what's for dinner.
- August 16, 2011 at 11:55 AM
I agree with Gowder on this, but would add another consideration: academic freedom is under assault all over today. Shouldn't we be defending the right of academics to say something stupid or ignorant or ill-informed, and not limit our defense to things with which we agree? I'm not suggesting that the Pluralist guide is necessarily any or all of those things, but only that they deserve that academic freedom, too.
The ACLU defends the repugnant speech of the Nazis and the Holocaust-deniers on free speech grounds, because we want to preserve the right of free speech. Surely the Pluralist remarks deserve at least as much defense on those grounds. (And please note how often Leiter goes to bat for academic freedom in other cases, which makes his suggestion here all the more puzzling, even irrational.)
- August 17, 2011 at 11:27 AM
Not to ignore the specific issue here of lawsuits, but I want to pose a question. Who has done more damage to the profession, Brian Leiter or Linda Alcoff? As a Continental philosopher (denominated "Party Line" in Leiter-speak), it should be no surprise that my answer is Brian Leiter. But hear me out, because my rationale comes from a decently-placed Anglo-American philosopher who I've known for a long time. This person makes the point that the prominence of the Leiter ranking system, and the imperative to place well in order to strengthen the position of one's department, discourages people from pursuing areas of research that are perceived to be less important within such rankings, in favor of pursuing the sort of work that impresses members of the advisory board. The effect is to homogenize acceptable topics of inquiry and methodologies, and recreates Anglo-American philosophy as a monoculture. This is a disservice precisely because we don't know what or who will matter 50 or 100 years from now, and cutting off lines of inquiry now impoverishes the thinkers who come after us. Of course, as a relatively mainstream Continental philosopher (and contra your characterization, Professor Leiter, Heidegger very much is NOT all of our bag), this is the sort of thing you might expect me to say. But the fact that my criticism dovetails with that of a much more mainstream Anglo-American philosopher suggests that we all ought to be worried about the self-policing and self-editing that such a ranking system produces. And for the record: I think that while some version of the Pluralist Guide is needed as a counterweight to Leiter's efforts to enforce his brand of hegemony, the present version is indefensible, and Linda Alcoff's responses to criticism have been inadequate. I don't, however, think that she should step down as President-Elect, and I voted accordingly on Leiter's ridiculous poll. So can we all just take a chill pill, please, and think about how to salvage something useful and not totally unfair from this debacle?

Evidence for this claim?
- August 18, 2011 at 11:33 PM
Evidence for this claim?
Anecdotal, but all over the place: from my grad school colleague (now assistant prof at very nicely ranked PGR department) who is writing on Kant rather than his true passion, Kierkegaard, to two acquaintances, both tenure-track political philosophers, who are neglecting to pursue their interest in Marx -- all for precisely the reasons noted above. Of course, they may yet write on those topics/figures when they are tenured; by then, however, who knows...
BTW, (1) I'm not 10:22, (2) I myself am not what you might call a 'continental' philosopher, (3) I'm not even claiming that the 'mainstreaming' effect described above is pernicious (I'm not claiming the opposite, either). I'm just claiming that the effect no doubt exists, and that to be skeptical about its existence is indeed, um, naive...
- August 19, 2011 at 3:57 AM
Your colleague is writing about Kant instead of Kierkegaard because his senior colleagues are obsessed by their department's Leiter-rankings? That's profoundly moronic. I'm at a "very nicely ranked" department myself, and if anyone suggested that I (or anyone else) should change topics in order to raise our Leiter-ranking, everyone would assume he was joking.
(And if someone is skeptical, do you actually think they will become less skeptical because of an anonymous person's utterly unsupported anecdotes? That's, um, credulous.)
- August 19, 2011 at 8:18 AM
Your colleague is writing about Kant instead of Kierkegaard because his senior colleagues are obsessed by their department's Leiter-rankings?
I'm guessing the point was that he writes about Kant instead of Kierkegaard because that's part of what it takes to get a job at a top research department. Hopefully, the original poster will correct me if I'm wrong. I certainly agree with the original post that such effects are real, regardless of whether or not they're pernicious. (For the most part, I think they're not pernicious ... but I can certainly understand why others might think they are).
- August 19, 2011 at 8:48 AM
8:48, if that's what s/he meant, then sure.
But you think this is because of Brian Leiter? If anything, I would have thought Brian had contributed to making Kierkegaard more respectable among top research departments.
- August 19, 2011 at 9:31 AM
I have now seen postings on two other list-servs claiming that Leiter is currently serving on the external review committee for the CUNY Graduate Program, where Alcoff holds an appointment. I wonder if anybody reading this blog has first-hand information to confirm or deny this report.
If true, it seems (at best) a troublesome conflict-of-interest as a professional. Perhaps somebody should set up a poll on whether or not Leiter should resign from that committee!
- August 19, 2011 at 10:02 AM
Incredulous: I agree. I certainly don't think effects like writing on Kant rather than Kierkegaard are due to Brian Leiter. Indeed, at this point I tend to think the PGR simply reflects the prevailing culture far more than it creates it (much less "polices" it). That culture has some real strengths and some real weaknesses, of course. It seems to me Leiter himself does a lot to combat some of the weaknesses (like uninformed prejudices against continental philosophy, e.g.).
- August 19, 2011 at 11:02 AM
10:02 am: conflict of interest? How is it a conflict of interest? Leiter's view of SPEP has been well-known for ages, but they still wanted him as an evaluator. And Alcoff's main appointment is Hunter College, she's not one of the full-time CUNY Grad Center faculty.
- August 19, 2011 at 11:09 AM
I'm guessing that this "more damage" claim is a claim about overall effects, so I'll just make two points. First, I started grad school before the Philosophical Gourmet Report was widely used. My undergrad program had never sent someone to grad school, so they told me to apply where they went to school and recommended a few others because they had met people at these places that they liked. So, I ended up in a dump of a program where a few of the areas that interested me weren't covered by competent people (partially because of moves and retirements). No history, mind, or language for me and I never did learn any logic. Grad students these days are a bit more clued in thanks to the PGR, so that's a pro that counterbalances the allaged con.
Also, when I was at my lowest BL singled me out at an APA to talk to me about how tough things were in my AOS, bought me a drink, and told me to keep my chin up. I did and everything worked out in the end. The list of people who didn't do that include, well, all philosophers who aren't BL. So, I suppose that includes LA. BL for the win!
- August 19, 2011 at 11:39 AM
Many (most?) of the CUNY Graduate faculty have home appointments on a particular campus, as does Alcoff:
I don't know if their external review has been completed or is just underway. But it's one thing to invite a reviewer who has previously criticized a member of that faculty publicly. The relentless attacks on her, even now calling for her to resign from the APA-eastern position, are pretty vicious.
I don't know who selected the membership of the review committee. At my campus, the department makes nominations, but the selection is made by deans and provost. I suppose Alcoff might have a legitimate complaint against such people if they knowingly brought in somebody who is such a known attack dog on her and her work.
There are legitimate debates about methodology, both for Alcoff and for Leiter. He has been relentless in criticizing people who challenge his methodology over the years (e.g., the very insignificant representation of women on his advisory board and evaluation panel), and he seems now to be getting his revenge in attacking Alcoff's methodology.
- August 19, 2011 at 2:36 PM
Glad you've now admitted that there's on conflict of interest. The real governing faculty at the CUNY Grad Center are Kripke, Devitt, Neale, Prinz, Carroll, and a few others. Then there are some 50 faculty from various CUNY colleges who teach an occasional course. You use the word "vicious" the way Alcoff uses "vitriol." Leiter has not been at all vicious, esp. compared to his usual treatment of the Texas Taliban, say. Grow up.
- August 19, 2011 at 4:26 PM
he seems now to be getting his revenge in attacking Alcoff's methodology.
I think it would be more accurate to say he's aggressively upholding ordinary professional norms, in exactly way he aggressively goes about most everything.
Personally, I wish Leiter would be less aggressive and more assertive. Nonetheless, upholding those norms - even aggressively - does not constitute "viciousness", much less "vitriol," much less a personal attack on those who violate or disregard them.
- August 19, 2011 at 4:42 PM
Leiter has said not a word about Alcoff's work. Where did "attack" on "her work" come from? Can't you SPEP people read? By contrast, the McAfee blog immediately went in for an attack on Leiter's work and person. Classy.
- August 19, 2011 at 5:42 PM
Setting up a poll on his site to vote on her fitness to be the next president on APA-Eastern was way out of line and he seemed to acknowledge that this morning.
UPDATE: With folks on all sides mobilizing votes, it seemed best to stop the poll, with more than 800 votes cast. 41% thought Professor Alcoff's involvement in the "Climate for Women" scandal irrelevant to her fitness to be President of the Eastern Division; 50% thought it relevant, with 34% thinking it disqualifying, and an additional 16% thinking if she apologized and withdrew this anonymous slander from the Internet, it would be OK if she served. The remaining votes were undecided. Some critics of the Guide have expressed unease with a vote on this question, but I have received so many e-mails on the subject, it seemed some poll of professional sentiment might be useful. I continue to be surprised by the willingness of philosophers to excuse professional misconduct by a quasi-elected officer of the APA, but clearly there are strong differences of opinion among philosophers on this subject.
He does a lot of polls, but I don't recall any being taken down so early because list-servs were mobilizing. He clearly didn't like the results he was getting. And what was he planning to do with the results? "useful to the profession?" How, exactly?
Assuming he belongs to APA (I don't know), he's a member of the Central Division, not Eastern. As he doesn't like the "quasi-election" method used by Eastern, has he publicly criticized Alcoff's predecessors on that ground? If not, why bring it up now? And by what criteria does he claim eastern is the "least relevant" division? It's this kind of irrelevant hatchet job that shut down the legitimate discussions of the methodology of both Leiter's and Alcoff's reports.
- August 19, 2011 at 6:09 PM
Oh my god. What decade is this? You mean... it was all a dream???
- August 19, 2011 at 6:16 PM
Look, genius, you can affiliate with any division you want. Living in Chicago doesn't mean you're a member of the central. And in what sense has the discussion of the methodology been shut down? I'm sure a lot of people are bored with it, but having a poll on Alcoff's presidency doesn't stop anyone from participating in the threads at Feminist Philosophers, Gender Race and Philosophy, here, etc.
- August 19, 2011 at 6:22 PM
Leiter shuts down all these polls after 500-1000 votes, usually in less than 24 hours. Paranoia strikes again! Get a grip people!!!
- August 19, 2011 at 6:49 PM
Ya know, I think I can hazard a guess here about why a decent supervisor might recommend that a student switch his/her dissertation topic from Kierkegaard to Kant. Two reasons: a) the popularity of existentialism (let alone Kierkegaard) has been on the decline since long before Leiter took his first philosophy course; and b) there appear to be excellent reasons for that shift.
'Existentialism' (Sartre's coinage) became popular in the English-speaking world after viewers became intrigued by tapes of Sartre after France was liberated (coupled with a vague sense that existentialism had fuelled the French resistance). It managed to take hold on American campuses for two main reasons: 1) Many religious (particularly catholic) philosophy teachers came to feel that a religious viewpoint could be preserved in a trendy manner within existentialism, despite the hostility of the alternative (positivism); and more importantly, 2) a number of students and faculty members came to feel, perhaps rightly, that the mainstream current of Anglo-American philosophy in the mid-20th century (again, positivism) went wrong in turning away from substantive ethical, political and 'meaning-of-life' questions, the answers to which existentialists promised in spades, whether or not the existentialists had any decent method of making good on those promises.
Nowadays, both those main justifications for existentialist philosophy have been lost. Religious institutions have numerous analytic theists whose work they can teach to their students while simultaneously exposing them to genuine analytical rigor, and analytic philosophers are dedicating themselves to serious work on all the important topics the positivists deemed 'nonsense'.
Given all this, it should be no surprise that Kierkegaard's influence in mainstream philosophy should be marginalized at best.
To put it more bluntly: advising a philosophy student to focus on Kant rather than Kierkegaard is similar to advising a biology student to go with Darwin rather than Swedenborg. It's just good advice, period.

what's the McAfee blog link?
I want to see attacks on Brian Dubya Leiter
- August 20, 2011 at 1:36 PM
Anon 12:00 --
I think your excellent account of the sociological reasons for the decline of existentialism among U.S. philosophers is accurate. I'm less sure that there have also been excellent philosophical reasons, given the clear superiority (in my view) of Kierkegaard's (or Nietzsche's) metaethics over, say, Kant's.
- August 21, 2011 at 4:42 AM
It is a mistake to lump together e and trivalize the work of all those philosophers who are sometimes called "existentialists"
I would hate for someone to neglect the study of Sartre's important phenomenological work because of some vague feeling that it was just an expression of a passing post WWII fad.
- August 21, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Thanks for your response, Anon 4:42. I would certainly be keen to hear a case on behalf of the merits of Kierkegaard as a good pick for a serious PhD student to work on -- over Kant -- nowadays.
I should explain off the bat that I think Kant was mistaken in many important points. But this does not stop me from having tremendous respect for him as an impressive and seminal thinker.
Since you point to metaethics as an arena in which Kierkegaard's work trumps Kant's, I'd be glad to confine the discussion to that field.
Kant deserves to be studied for his metaethics today, I think, because he raised and presented important and still-relevant arguments on many issues in that area. Most importantly, I think, he set out for the first time a clear and rigorous set of criteria for what would count as a moral reason for doing something; and along the way, he had to carefully distinguish our desires from our ends (which Hume had not done in his own work), categorical from hypothetical imperatives, and make many other distinctions that are still of key importance in today's metaethical discussions of moral reasons, which is where most of the metaethical attention lies nowadays.
Kant also proposed an interesting and still-influential solution to the age-old question of why one should be moral in the first place.
Aside from his important work on the key metaethical issues of moral reasons and moral motivations, Kant made important contributions to the question of how one could achieve moral knowledge and, in a small way, to the question of what metaphysical facts would need to obtain in order for there to be morality at all.
His metaethical views are still discussed (and at times adopted) by the most important people working in the field today, in their central works. Schroeder, Korsgaard, Joyce, Scanlon, Smith, Shafer-Landau come to mind as examples: though many of them end up with a negative view of Kant, Kant's work seems indispensible to theirs (as I suspect they would all admit).
There's a brief case for the importance of Kant's metaethics. What about Kierkegaard?
Could you please set out why you hold that Kierkegaard is an even more important metaethicist? Which key metaethical issues did he open up for the first time, or clarify in some important way? Which original solutions did he propose to older issues, and what are his original arguments for those solutions? Etc.
- August 21, 2011 at 11:43 AM
Heidegger himself considered Sartre's work to be trendy garbage!
- August 21, 2011 at 11:44 AM
"Heidegger himself considered Sartre's work to be trendy garbage!"
Sartre took himself to be building on Heidegger. But he actually completely misunderstood it. On his reconstruction, Heidegger actually made sense.

Hahahahaha!!! That was priceless! Thanks.

"Anglo-American philosophy as a monoculture".
I'm afraid that you don't know what you're talking about. The diversity within analytic philosophy is greater now than at any time in the past. In fact, we may be seeing a fractionation of philosophy, in which the analytic/continental divide is just one among many. Naturalistic philosophers find it hard to talk to more a prioristic folks within single subdisciplines, never mind across them. No one knows what's going on in philosophy of physics outside a small coteria. As the branches get more specialized, they are starting to require much more serious investment in areas outside philosophy (economics, biology, cognitive science,,,) and there is a real danger that we lose the ability to talk to one another. There are many things wrong with "Anglo-American philosophy" (lack of diversity of people doing it is one) but the idea that it is intellectually a monoculture is just crazy. Or as the WV has it, it is blexp.

Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Mariners fans were treated to a pitcher's duel
for the second time in as many days.
This time, however, the Seattle Mariners were on top, shutting down the
Detroit Tigers, 2-0, on Thursday to avoid a three-game sweep.
Neither team found much success, until the seventh inning, when Kyle Seager
and Endy Chavez each drove in one run on back-to-back hits. It was all the
offense that was needed to grab the win.
Hisashi Iwakuma gave up just three hits and a walk over six innings for the
Mariners, who lost in 14 innings against Detroit on Wednesday. Carter Capps
(1-1) allowed two hits and a walk over two innings of relief to pick up the
win. Tom Wilhelmsen pitched a perfect ninth to pick up his sixth save of the
Justin Verlander (2-2) got the start for the Tigers and fanned twelve over
seven innings but the lack of run support prevented him from earning a win.
With two outs in the seventh, Robert Andino hit a single. Seager then
doubled, scoring Andino. Chavez followed with a single to bring Seager home.
Game Notes
Chavez had six putouts ... Jason Bay was 0-for-4 and struck out three times
for Seattle ... Detroit's Prince Fielder hit a double, his sixth of the
season ... Verlander threw 126 pitches while Iwakuma threw 70 pitches ...
Detroit is 5-11 over its last 16 matchups against Seattle ... The Tigers
have not swept the Mariners at Safeco Field since April 21-23, 2006.

Too Sell, Or Not Too Sell
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars City Council took the action today during their regular meeting to reject all of the submitted four bids for the city owned property located on North Business Highway 75. The property in question is the former Iowa Department of Transportation maintenance sheds. The city is asking a total of $50,000 for the one-point forty-four acres of property. There was a difference of opinion from council members as to whether the council should sell the property today. Councilman Ken Nelson suggested the city reject all offers and wait for a better offer.
Listen to
Meanwhile, Rex Knapp and Delana Ihrke both thought the offers were good and asked the city council to consider selling the property.
Listen to
Nelson believes since the property is of close proximity to the recreation trail and to the Floyd River, it may attract a recreational type business.
Listen to
Interested buyers had until August 28th to offer the city a bid for the land and buildings. Two of the submitted bids were for $40,000 and a third offer was for $30,000. The fourth bid was for the amount of $7,500. Councilman Knapp made the motion to accept the bid offered by Wayne Kolbeck for $40,000 with a $5,000 down payment, but the council turned thumbs down the motion by a 3 to 2 vote. Shane Sitzmann, representing the Sitzmann Real Estate Company, and acting as a contractual agent for the city, informed the council members that they have had 40 showings of the property. Sitzmann asked the city officials for clarification as to what is next step?
Listen to
City attorney Joe Flannery informed the city council and Sitzmann that they would be forbidden to make any counter offers.

Free Convection in a Light Bulb
Application ID: 303
This model treats the free convection of argon gas within a light bulb. It shows the coupling of heat transport (conduction, radiation and convection) to momentum transport (non-isothermal flow) induced by density variations caused by temperature.
COMSOL Multiphysics model makes it possible to determine the temperature distribution on the outer surface of the bulb, as well as the temperature and pressure distributions within the bulb.
