Ammonia Removal From Water by a Liquid-Liquid Membrane Contactor Under a Closed Loop RegimeE. Licon[1], S. Casas[1], A. Alcaraz[1], J.L. Cortina[1], C. Valderrama[1]
[1]Universitat Politécnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain
Ammonia separation from water by membrane contactor was simulated on transient state and compared with experimental data. Aqueous low concentrated solution of ammonium with high pH has been pumped inside the hydrophobic hollow fibers, acid solution in the outside part. The system is in closed loop configuration. In order to simulate the separation process, equations were developed considering radial and axial diffusion and convection with a well-developed parabolic velocity profile. The model proposed shows minimal deviations when is compared against experimental data. This study shows that the most important parameters to control during the operation are the flow rate and the pH, mainly the last one, due to high dependence in chemical equilibrium of ammonium reaction to ammonia.

Born January 1934 in Paris
Combining the poetry of geometry with figurative art, Yvaral has created a wholly original body of artworks that has received the praise of important critics and museum curators around the world.
Yvaral grew up in a complete artistic ambiance. Working alongside his father, Victor Vasarely, he discovered and explored the beauty of geometry in art. The inspiration of the French Impressionists and Pointillists is evident in Yvaral's vibrant paintings. The artist juxtaposes pure colors next to one another to achieve the illusion of three-dimensional forms.

Co-founder of the Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel (Visual Art Research Group) in 1960, with which he exhibited throughout the world until 1968.
Through his search for a geometric vocabulary (cubic structure, structured horizons,) and his desire to codify visual constants, Yvaral attempts to define a digital art (a concept of digitalized image) using his past experiences and by means of new ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

The cruel joke nearly complete, the only thing left now is for Derrick Rose to potentially decide between two gut-wrenching options.
The first might sideline him the remainder of the season. The other could place him back in the Chicago Bulls lineup much sooner from the torn right meniscus injury he suffered on Friday but might result in adverse long-range implications for the 25-yar-old point guard.
Rose faces the prospect of missing nearly a second consecutive regular season after sitting out all of last year with a torn left anterior cruciate ligament. And trying to come back sooner could compromise his future.
It doesn't get much more Déjà vu than that.
In the course of the same calendar year, the best point guard in the NBA might twice have to face a decision that simultaneously challenges his devotion and prudence.
Rose was cleared by the Bulls medical staff to return from the knee injury during last season's playoffs, but a doctor's blessing and the inner belief he was well enough to endure the physical demands of his sport didn't exactly jive.
In the end Rose chose not to play, a personal decision that wasn't universally embraced and some would suggest was the difference-maker in the Bulls' loss to the Miami Heat in a seven-game series.
He might soon arrive at that same dangerous intersection, his options pending what Bulls team physician Brian Cole discovers upon operating on Rose today in Chicago.
Meanwhile, across the NBA teammates and foes alike are holding out hope the surgery yields the best possible results.
"Prayers and thoughts go out to Derrick," Bulls teammate Carlos Boozer said Sunday at Staples Center. "I'm hoping he has a quick recovery and a healthy recovery."
But even if surgery reveals an injury Rose is capable of recovering from this season, he soon will confront the same clamoring he faced last season when all of Chicago anxiously awaited his return.
And the same need for inner peace before he does.
Those two components don't always line up perfectly.
"It's a fine line, and this process will probably be more difficult than the last one," Clippers forward Blake Griffin said. "Because everyone from March on was asking, 'When is he going to come back, when is he going to come back? And depending on how this surgery goes it's going to be the same scenario where he might be (cleared) to play but might not feel (ready) to play."
Griffin, himself a veteran of the frustrating process of dealing with serious injuries, preaches patience.
"I always feel it's best to err on the side of caution and not rush it," he said.
To be sure, Rose is facing an uncanny coincidence.
He delayed his comeback from the first knee injury to avoid a damaging setback, and yet this happens. The rust from missing all of last season wasn't completely sandpapered over the first month of this season, and now he's back nearly to square one.
It's a psychological strain he might not conquer for some time.
"And it's more mental than anything," Clippers guard Jamal Crawford said. "Because you're always thinking, 'Is it strong enough, will it happen again? Is anything else going to happen?' "
Crawford can relate. Back in the summer of 2001 he was a member of the Bulls when he tore his left ACL and meniscus playing a pick-up game with Michael Jordan and some other NBA players.
It took Crawford 10 months to return to the Bulls, but nearly two years to finally get his peace of mind back.
"And it's weird because when I knew it was finally better, it just clicked," Crawford said. "I was playing one day the (following) summer, after the season was over, and I was like 'Ah, it's better.' You know what I'm saying? And mentally I was finally at peace. But you have to get to that point and everyone's timeline is different."
It's a mental hurdle Rose once again will confront, even though hasn't completely cleared it from the knee injury.
It's also a process Kobe Bryant is dealing with right now as he closes in on a return from the Achilles tendon injury he suffered last April.
Bryant has been cleared by the Lakers medical staff to return to the Lakers, but he hasn't yet rectified that consent within himself.
He continues to play chess with the Achilles on the practice floor, alternately pushing it hard and then tapering off as he seeks an acceptable comfort level, all while eyeing the time he finally puts high-leverage demands on the foot during an actual game.
And hoping it holds up.
"And like Kobe said after getting hurt, 'That's a move I've made million times,' " Crawford said. "That's something that lingers in the back of your mind."
And takes time to expunge.
"It's almost like (when Manny) Pacquiao got knocked out," Crawford said. "Because he's now thinking, 'If I get hit again am I going to get knocked out?' It's a mental thing and you don't know until you get back out there."
Bryant is closing in on his return.
Rose must wait until doctors get a closer look at his right knee before his options are laid out.
This being his second go-around with a serious injury in less than two years, at least he has recent history to draw on.
But it's a cruel joke to be sure.
And chances are he'll soon face another gut-wrenching decision.

Moments Of Clarity I've Had As A Result Of My Diet
I've been doing this raw food diet for the past week because I've been eating pretty badly lately and thought it would help wean me off sugar and carbs a bit. And, to be fair, it's been pretty great. I actually do have a lot more energy and feel better (less headaches, not as much trouble geting up in the morning, sleeping better, etc). However, among other things, the diet is supposed to give you moments of clarity. I've found that clarity is often confused with "being absolutely crazy irrational." I'm going to drop some things I've realized this week on you, sort of the way the Dalai Llama does. [ITPGallery]

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former NBA No.1 draft pick Greg Oden is out of jail following his arrest on battery charges for allegedly punching his ex-girlfriend in the face.
Oden was released from custody Thursday evening. Online Marion County Jail records show Oden was released on a $10,000 bond.
The 26-year-old Oden faces two preliminary misdemeanor battery counts after the incident Thursday morning at his mother's suburban home in Lawrence.
A police report says officers were called to the home at around 3:30 a.m. and found a 24-year-old woman on a sofa with a swollen, bloody face. A friend of the woman told officers that Oden had "punched her in the face."
Oden told officers he and the woman had dated for about two years but split up two months ago.

Eating Disorders
Not Gaining Weight - After Starvation
Hi, I`m not sure if this is the right site to help me or not.
My mother (currently) went through a very bad depression and basically starved herself for the last year and a half. Most weeks she only ate between 2 and 4 small meals a week. She is 62 now, stands 5`6" and weighs 104 pounds.
Over the past 6 weeks, she has been in treatment and eating pretty regularly - Ensure once or twice a day, plus at least two regular meals and a snack each day.
My question is - why hasn`t she gained any weight back yet? She has been eating "normally" for the past 8 weeks and has only put on a pound and a half. She has had at least three small meals, a snack and one or two Ensures everyday for the past 8 weeks and has only gained 1.5 pounds.
Is there a medical condition or something that happens to the body after starvation that makes it hard to put weight back on? Blood work and thyroid tests have come back normal. Do you have any suggestions or related reading I could learn about this at?
During refeeding from acute weight loss, the body often enters a hypermetabolic stage, out burning foods within a normal range of intake. At times food may need to be steadily increased and under close monitoring by a nutritionist and physician to assure refeeding syndrome does not occur and that the body can take in needed additional calories daily to offset the hypermetabolism.

Andrew's Helpful Hands is a charitable organization that pays the mortgages of families who have a child going through bone marrow treatment.
With Zenaide Swenson, it's difficult to tell who's an old friend, an acquaintance or someone she's just met - on Saturday, the Hudson resident had a hug and encouraging words for just about anyone she saw.
"She's an unbelievable person," said Ben Donnarumma, who has known the Swenson family for years. "If I were to pick a hero, she's one of them - she does so much unselfishly."
Swenson insists she's just carrying on the legacy of her son, Andrew, who exhibited a giving spirit in his short life that still resonates today. The 7-year-old died from bone marrow cancer exactly 10 years ago from Saturday, an anniversary his family marked with a fundraiser at the Hudson Elks Pavilion featuring games, music and food.
"I really thought having a party today, I wouldn't cry," Swenson said, wiping away tears. "I guess you never really get over it."
Out of that pain, however, came Andrew's Helpful Hands, a charitable organization that pays the mortgages of families who have a child going through bone marrow treatment. Thirty-six families have been helped by the charity since its founding a decade ago, each receiving an average contribution of $22,000.
Swenson knows all too well what that kind of money can do for a family struggling with a sick child. She and her husband, John, were juggling job losses, dropped health insurance and mounting house payments with the full-time responsibility of caring for Andrew, who was diagnosed in 2000. Wanting to help, Swenson's brother, John Sousa, helped scrap together some funds to pay the family's mortgage, which inspired him and the Swensons to do the same for others. Andrew himself delivered one of the charity's first payments.
"I remember he said, 'I really liked doing that, Mommy,'" she said. "I have to keep reminding people that my son was alive when we began this - I'm just continuing what he did."
The loss of a child has proven to be a powerful bond between the Swensons and other families who have either helped or been helped by Andrew's foundation. Donnarumma, who lost his own daughter, Sophia, to neuroblastoma in 2004 and runs his own charity, Sophia's Fund, in her memory, has often joined forces with them to raise money for the fight against childhood cancer.
"One thing I promised my daughter was that I'll always do everything I can to help people in this position," he said. "When I first started talking to Zee, I knew how sincere she was - she proves it at every event."
On Saturday, Donnarumma, who owns Allstar Auto Sales in Marlborough, Shrewsbury and West Bridgewater, brought a dragster for kids to take pictures in, and was handing out raffle tickets for door prizes.
Dana Wordell of Hudson, who lost his eight-year-old son, said helping out at events like the Swensons' fundraiser fills some of the void.
"You can sit home and wallow in it, or you can do something," he said. "You can help someone."
Running Andrew's Helpful Hands has its downside, however. For all the help the charity can offer to the parents, it ultimately can't stop the death of their son or daughter.
"We just had a family lose a little five-year-old, and that was really hard," Swenson said. "But my Andrew's helping take care of her - he's going to show her the ropes up there."
The opportunity to offer at least a little comfort to families enduring the "worst thing that's happened in their lives" made Saturday's anniversary a little easier to bear, she said. But Andrew was always on her mind.
"I've thought about my son the whole time," Swenson said. "He was all about helping - he was all about the other kids, his family, his friends. We're going to turn this sadness into a great day of impact."
Swenson said she hoped Saturday's "Summer Festival" would bring in $7,000 for Andrew's Helpful Hands. For more information about the organization or to make a donation, visit www.andrewshelpfulhands.com.

There"s no such thing as too much celebrating on your wedding day.
Hilaria Thomas took that to heart by enjoying a large pre-wedding brunch with close friends and family on Saturday, just hours before tying the knot with Alec Baldwin.
Thomas hosted 55 guests at Edi & the Wolf, a restaurant in New York"s Alphabet City. They dined on a special menu of house-made granola and Greek yogurt, French toast with yellow summer peaches, baked eggs with swiss chard and the restaurant"s specialty – wiener schnitzel sandwiches with pickled shallots on brioche rolls.
The group also enjoyed watermelon, orange and cucumber juice before Thomas headed to St. Patrick"s Old Cathedral to meet her groom.
The married couple returned to Edi & the Wolf with Baldwin"s daughter Ireland on Sunday afternoon to watch the Euro 2012 soccer final between Spain and Italy. They were joined by about 20 Spainards, and Baldwin dined on Arctic char with sweet potato pancakes. – Tim Nudd


text: DD is 4.5 months old and has never taken a pacifier. I'm ok that she doesn't but on occassion it would be really really nice. For example without fail she cries every time she is in the car seat for as long as she is in the car seat. It makes going anywhere a nightmare! And she is a terrible sleeper too and I wonder if it would help her sleep. She chews/kinda sucks on her fingers when she is awake but it seems like more of a play thing than a soothing thing. Is there a way to encourage thumb sucking? One of my friends suggested dipping the pacifier in karo syrup, is that safe??? I tried dipping it in my milk and it didn't do squat. She also doesn't take a bottle.

Dartmouth – Tsinghua International Conference on the Tsinghua Manuscripts
Dartmouth Events
Dartmouth – Tsinghua International Conference on the Tsinghua Manuscripts
The Fourth International Conference on Excavated Chinese Manuscripts
The conference is co-sponsored by Dartmouth College and Tsinghua University. See more information on the conference website.
The conference will focus on the problem of the significance of the Tsinghua manuscripts for understanding early Chinese history and history of thought. To this end, we have selected three manuscripts for close reading and detailed discussion, representing three different literary forms. They are a chronological account, Xinian 系年; a song (shi 詩), Zhou Gong zhi qinwu 周公之琴舞, and a document (shu 書),Yue ming 說命, Because of its length, we will only read the first four sections of the Xinian in detail.
The conference is co-organized by Sarah Allan (艾兰), Burlington Northern Foundation Professor of Asian Studies in honor of Richard M. Bressler, Dartmouth College, and Xing Wen (邢文), Robert 1932 and Barbara Black Professor in Asian Studies, Dartmouth College. The Chinese participants will include Li Xueqin (李学勤) and the team of Tsinghua scholars who are responsible for preparing the manuscripts for publication. Half of the conference participants will be from China; half, from the US and other countries.
The conference is open to a limited number of other scholars and graduate students. For information, please contact Chen Zenghong ([email protected]).
The Xinian was published in volume 2 of Qinghua Daxue cang Zhanguo zhujian 清華大學藏戰國竹簡, Zhou Gong zhi qinwu and Yue ming are published in the recently published volume 3.
For a summary account of the contents of volume 3, see Li Xueqin李學勤. "Xin zhengli Qinghua jian liu zhong gaishu 新整理清華簡六種概述," Wenwu 2012.8: 66-71. This issue of Wenwu also includes a discussion of Zhougong zhi Qinwu by Li Shoukui 李守奎, "Qinghua jian 'Zhou Gong zhi qinwu' yu Zhou song 清華簡周公之琴舞與周頌," on pp. 72-76.
The conference will include both formal papers and detailed collective reading of the manuscripts. All participants will engage in the collective reading and discussion. Scholars who wish to present written papers should submit them before 15 August 2013 for posting on the password-protected section of the conference website. Papers may be in either Chinese or English.
Events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.

April 2012
April 27, 2012: The Editor had a tough time with this one. After a week or so of what can only be described as insanity, the word leaked out that DRB-Hicom, which got Lotus when it purchased Malaysian car maker Proton, denied it had made any plans to sell the seminal British sports car maker. Yet KPMG reportedly was retained to find a Chinese buyer for the company. After many late hours scouring the Internet, speaking with friends and former colleagues, tracking down leads and working with the folks at AROnline, he wrote a lengthy piece synopsizing the current situation. You won't want to miss it. (NOTE: The fluidity of the situation at Lotus has required addendums as things change and become more clear. Please keep returning to this story for updates.) On a brighter note, Jaguar introduced two new boosted engines at China Auto 2012 in Beijing. These modular designs — which include a four-cylinder — produce plenty of horsepower, offer greater fuel efficiency, and — joy of joys — supplement the current 5.0-liter V8. Hyundai's Accent may be the entry-level vehicle in the Hyundai brand, but is it also the one closest to the heart and soul of the Korean automaker? It just might be. Read what we have to say about the littlest Hyundai sold in America. When you're finished with that, see what our Al Vinikour has to say about the 2013 Ford Escape. Is it a significant step forward, and will traditional buyers like its new Focus-like styling? You be the judge, but don't forget to follow along to the Hokey Pokey… really. Speaking of judging, Al takes a walk down memory lane, reminiscing about some of the nameplates that have gone to car heaven. See if you agree with his choices.
April 20, 2012: Late April is the perfect time for Spring cleaning, and what better time to take a look at improving your automotive lifestyle? For example, if your furniture is getting old, why not replace it with chairs, tables, sofas, etc. designed by Mercedes-Benz, and built by an Italian luxury furniture maker? Or maybe you have a strong hankering for a hot rod and an E-Type Jaguar, but can't afford both. What do you do? Check out our Lifestyle page for a restomod Series I E-Type that fits the bill. On a more serious note, we speak with the folks from interior supplier Johnson Controls to get an inside look at what changes you can expect in in-car interactivity, and how this is tied to consumer electronics and the technical savvy of the car buyer. Which brings us to a new touch pad device from TRW that brings this technology into more cars, with more functionality. And Al? He takes a look at the new naming convention that replaces vehicle names with letters. Confusing? Yes, but he also thinks it borders on criminally stupid. We wouldn't expect anything less from Mr. Vinikour.
April 13, 2012: For all you enjoying the warm Spring weather, but wondering which two-wheeler should adorn your garage, we welcome back Scott Bowles, The Virtual Rider, to review the Harley-Davidson Switchback. Read his review for the answer to whether a Harley can be considered "practical". Impracticality is part of the sport coupe ownership experience, but Hyundai's Veloster marries edgy styling and a tight package with the practicality of three doors and a hatch. And while this sounds like the title for a British comedy starring Hugh Grant, is it enough to make the Veloster more practical without losing any sportiness? Finally, two from Al Vinikour. First his review of Bryce Hoffman's book on Ford and how it came through the industry meltdown relatively unscathed. This is followed by his Tirade on seat belt design, and the difficulties poorly designed latches can bring. But there's a surprise: TRW has just introduced a modification to the standard latch unit that could make Al a happy man… Oh what am I thinking. He'll never be happy!
April 6, 2012: We're taking the week off to celebrate the Easter holiday. Enjoy the time off, and we'll see you back here Friday the 13th!

Dave D'Onofrio's Sox Beat: Jury is out on Red Sox-Dodgers 2012 blockbuster tradeDAVE D'ONOFRIO
August 24. 2013 11:03PM
Maybe it's because the schedule makers decided to create some drama by staging a three-game series between the Red Sox and Dodgers on a weekend marking the first anniversary of last season's blockbuster trade. Maybe it's because both teams arrived at Chavez Ravine on Friday as first-place clubs, and unquestionably better off than they were when the trigger was pulled a year ago today. Maybe it's a combination of both.
Whatever the reason, this week became a convenient time for many in the media and all around the baseball world to evaluate the megadeal, declaring its winners and losers and consequences - but mostly ignoring the fact that it's way too early to really make an assessment.
Part of what made the trade so mind-blowing and magnificent was the way it projected to significantly impact each organization for years to come. So, then, it's a bit silly to try and make a judgment on how it turned out when just a fraction of that future has yet unfolded. Particularly when none of the players directly involved in the trade have been especially impactful as far the short-term improvements that are reflected in the standings.
For instance, Adrian Gonzalez is having a good year - reaching Saturday with a .297 average, 16 home runs and 78 runs batted in - but with an .801 on-base plus slugging he's not nearly the productive hitter he was with the Padres, or even in his first season with the Red Sox.
He is still helping the Dodgers get where they want to go, and he's entrenched as the No. 3 hitter in their lineup, though he's nowhere near the boomer the Sox thought they were signing to a seven-year, $154 million contract in April of 2011. And so, at 31 now, there have to be questions about what it's going to look like when they're paying him $21.5 million through age 36.
Carl Crawford's two hits and two steals Friday offered a reminder of the dynamic offensive threat that so tormented the Sox that Boston decided to pay him $20 million per year. But that's the exception these days. He doesn't steal a lot of bases (13 through Friday), he doesn't hit a lot of home runs (5), he doesn't draw a lot of walks (23), and he's spent significant time on the disabled list in each of the past three years.
At age 32, he's a pretty average player. And the Dodgers owe him $82 million for the four seasons after this.
Meanwhile, Josh Beckett is out for the year after experiencing tingling and numbness in his pitching hand and going 2-8 with a 4.07 earned run average in 15 starts since the trade. Next year they'll pay him nearly $16 million, and it's not yet clear when (or if) he'll return. At least Nick Punto's $1.5 million will be off the books.
The five players the Red Sox received in return came with much less contractual commitment and far less risk. Three of them were out of the organization by the end of 2012 - James Loney left for the Rays via free agency, while Jerry Sands and Ivan De Jesus were traded to Pittsburgh as part of the package for Joel Hanrahan - and while the two others are now considered part of their next wave of pitching, neither Rubby De La Rosa or Allen Webster has shown enough command this season to think he's close to meeting his potential at the major-league level. Neither is a sure thing at this point.
Nor is the notion that the Red Sox will wisely take advantage of the financial flexibility they created for themselves last August. If a winner must be declared, the edge would go to Boston because freeing their books of the Gonzalez, Crawford and Beckett contracts enabled them to sign Shane Victorino, David Ross, Ryan Dempster, Jonny Gomes and Mike Napoli last winter, and subsequently reshape the culture of their clubhouse.
But none of those agreements extend beyond 2015, so the Sox will have money to spend both this offseason and next - and if they don't do so wisely, or if they don't use it at all, then the biggest benefit they gained through the trade with the Dodgers will effectively be nullified.
So, Sox fans, happy anniversary. It's certainly a day worth celebrating, given the way Aug. 25, 2012, helped your team reset itself, and the possibilities it created for the future.
Just let that future play out a little bit before declaring anyone the winner.
- - - - - -
When he and the rest of the Red Sox were shut down by Ricky Nolasco on Friday night, it marked the first time since he returned from Pawtucket that Will Middlebrooks failed to reach base. Still, through Friday, he was hitting .405 with a .500 on-base percentage, and it appeared the biggest difference is his improvement when hitting from behind in the count.
Entering the Dodgers series, Middlebrooks was batting .429 when trailing in an at-bat since his return, and his OPS was a robust 1.329. His six hits in those scenarios are just one fewer than the seven he had before being demoted, despite having only 14 at-bats since, compared to 68 before.
Middlebrooks says his approach hasn't changed - but the numbers say otherwise.
"I don't mind hitting with two strikes. They've still got to throw the ball over the plate," he said after hitting a homer and a double from behind in the count against the Yankees last Sunday. "Early in the count with my approach I'm looking for a certain pitch to drive in the gap or hit out; I'm not going to go try and hit singles. That's not my job.
"They paint a couple balls early in the count, good for them. They can have it. But they've still got to come at me to strike me out."
- - - - - -
It was 17 years ago this week that Nomar Garciaparra made his major-league debut - so what does he think of his heir as the Red Sox hot-shot shortstop prospect, Xander Bogaerts?
"He's very talented, there's no question about that," Garciaparra said this week. "Obviously to make it up there you have to have all the tools - they don't put you up there if you don't. Now it's just a matter of time. Just go out there and play; just do everything you've been doing to get to that point. I got to watch him a little bit at the Futures Game in New York this year, and he looked like a great talent out there. I wish him nothing but the best."
- - - - - -
Stat of the week: The Red Sox haven't won consecutive games in 17 days (and counting). Aside from the All-Star break, the longest was 12 days - May 3-14, during which they went 2-9.

Scepticism about scepticism about moral responsibility
1. Suppose it was wrong for Adam to φ but he φ'd anyway. He was ignorant of this fact simply because he did not believe that φ-ing was wrong.
2. You are culpable for ignorant behaviour only if you are culpable for the ignorance in which it is formed.
3. Adam is culpable for ignorant behaviour only if he is culpable for the ignorance in which it was performed.
4. You can only be culpable for something only if you were in control of that thing.
5. Thus, Adam is culpable for having φ'd only if he was in control of the ignorance.
6. You are never directly in control of whether you believe or do not believe something. Control over belief is always indirect.
7. If you are culpable for something over which you have merely indirect control, then your culpability for it is itself merely indirect.
8. You are indirectly culpable for something only if that thing was a consequence of something else for which you are directly culpable.
9. Thus, Adam is culpable for having φ'd only if there is something else, ψ, for which he is directly culpable and of which the ignorance in which he φ'd was a consequence.
10. But, whatever ψ-ing was, it cannot itself have been an instance of ignorant behaviour because then the argument would apply all over again to ψ-ing. ψ-ing must have been an item of behavior that Adam believed at the time to be wrong.
11. Thus, Adam is culpable for having φ'd only if there was some act or omission, ψ-ing, for which Adam is directly culpable and of which his failure to believe that φ-ing was wrong was a consequence and ψ was such that Adam believed that it was wrong to ψ at the time he ψ'd.
Two points. First, I rarely if ever engage in wrongdoing in the belief that what I'm doing is wrong and don't think that I'm atypical. If the argument is sound, we are responsible for much less than we ordinarily think. Second, I think anyone who accepts the argument will have a difficult time explaining why we're blameworthy in the remaining cases of clear-eyed akrasia (i.e., cases where we engage in wrongdoing in the belief that what we're doing is wrong).
I think that the most promising line of response is to argue that you can be blamed for your de re moral unresponsiveness (as Arpaly puts it). We can distinguish between two kinds of unresponsiveness. Think of de dicto unresponsiveness as being unresponsive to the thought that something is a moral consideration that counts against some course of action. Think of de re unresponsiveness as being unresponsive to some genuine moral feature that the agent is cognizant of. In cases of de re unresponsiveness, you need to be cognizant of a fact that constitutes a reason not to act, not the fact that the fact is a reason not to act. (For example, Descartes might not have believed that non-human animals were sentient. Many people are aware that many non-human animals are sentient but they don't think that the fact these animals suffer constitutes a reason not to perform acts that cause them to suffer.)
It's the quality of the agent's will that determines whether she's blameworthy and part of what determines the quality of the agent's will is whether the agent is responsive to the values and interests that morality is concerned with. Ignorance of fact might exculpate if, say, you injure another in the belief that you were helping them. If you are (i) cognizant of a moral reason not to act without being cognizant of the fact that it is such a reason and (ii) you act against it, I don't think you automatically earn an excuse. Your actions show that you are unresponsive to moral reasons and that's _precisely_ what you should be blamed for when you should be blamed for what you do.
It seems that anyone who endorses Z's argument has to reject this approach to blame. Why? Well, in some of the cases where an agent is aware of the fact that, say, performing an act that harms an animal without being aware of the fact that it is wrong to cause such harms the agent will be ignorant of the fact that her actions are wrong. The only way to get such an agent on the hook, according to the argument above, is to demonstrate that there's something that the agent is directly responsible for that is responsible for the agent's ignorance. If all it takes to show that some agent is blameworthy is that the agent is de re unresponsiveness, we'd reject the crucial assumption that you can only be blamed for acting in ignorance if you're responsible for your ignorance. No, you'd be responsible for acting in such a way that shows that you're unresponsive to, say, the suffering of animals.
Now, focus on the cases of clear-eyed akrasia, the cases where the agent engages in wrongdoing and acts in the belief that her actions are wrong. Would the agent be culpable in _these_ cases? I doubt it. What would render the agent's actions blameworthy? I see three options:
(a) Acting on the belief that one's action is wrong;
(b) Acting against moral reasons;
(c) The combination of (a) and (b).
Inverse akrasia cases rule out (a), so the real work has to be done by the moral reasons. (Think of Huck Finn and Jim.) The argument sketched above rules out (b), so we're down to (c) by elimination. Theoretically, it's hard to see how (c) could work if (a) and (b) are ruled out. We had to reject (b) because we had to reject the idea that you can be blameworthy for acting against reasons you don't believe to be genuine reasons. Why would believing them to be genuine and acting against them make you blameworthy if the the belief that you are acting against genuine moral reasons doesn't make you blameworthy on its own? If we had an agent that, say, acted twice on the belief that her actions were wrong, once in which she didn't act against a genuine reason and once in which she did, (c) implies that she's blameworthy in only one of these cases. It seems that what's doing the work here in explaining why she's blameworthy in one has to be the fact that she's acted against genuine moral reasons, not just apparent moral reasons, and that seems to assume that something like the quality of will account is correct. But, it seems that anyone who adopts such an account would reject the argument for (11).

This is very interesting. I'm hoping you'll admit a silly question from a psychologist.
I suspect that, descriptively, very few of our judgments about anything are accompanied by cognitions of the form 'I think this is wrong', or for that matter, 'I think this is right.'
Is this "active consideration" of an action what you mean when you talk about individuals beliefs about the morality of an action?

Hi Mark,
I agree that we rarely act while thinking to ourselves that what we're doing is wrong or right. How far we can stretch the notion of belief? I don't know, but I'd think that it stretches further than things we think to ourselves while acting. My worry is just this. However far we stretch it, I don't think moral culpability has much to do with our own moral beliefs.

Thanks for sharing Clayton. Perhaps you'll humor another question. It's about the following comment: "I don't think moral culpability has much to do with our own moral beliefs."
Do you mean this descriptively or prescriptively?

This is a thoughtful post. As it happens, I'm reviewing Neil Levy's "Hard Luck", and he uses this sort of argument to show that we're not morally repsonsible for any of our actions.
One of my doubts about the argument seems similar to the main point I take you to be making. Can we put it as follows? Levy grants that there are external or objective normative reasons to act. But he says that an agent's rationality always has to be jusged in terms of her internal reasons, by which he means, her beliefs about her normative reasons. (p. 127) This seems to seal us off from the normative reasons, since they never play a role in judging whether someone has acted rationally. And so you may get Z's requirement that irrationality would consist in deliberately making yourself ignorant of something you know or believe.
So I take you to give a picture of how someone can be irrational without choosing to make himself ignorant. I think the picture is more perceptual than conative, so 'quality of will' seems inaccurate. But do I understand you correctly?
I can think of problems with this suggestion, and I think there must be other ways people can be blameworthy for acting in ignorance about the moral quality of their actions, but this may be one way to respond to Z (and Levy).

Hi Nick,
I guess I mean that prescriptively, if I get the question. Some writers seem to think that believing that you're engaged in wrongdoing is either necessary or sufficient for being culpable for that wrongdoing. I don't think either is the case. Some people are too easily persuaded that things they shouldn't feel guilty about are wrong. Some people's character flaws prevent them from seeing the flaws in their character. Beliefs matter when we're trying to decide whether someone can be blamed for something, but I don't think _moral_ beliefs matter all that much. My belief that there's a dog in the car who might die if I leave it locked inside matters when it comes to evaluating my behavior if I decide to go in for ice cream. If I didn't believe that leaving the dog in the car was bad for the dog, maybe (just maybe) I'm less blameworthy than someone who does believe leaving the dog in the car is bad for the dog.

Funny you should mention the Levy book. I've been reading some papers by Gideon Rosen and Michael Zimmerman and have just started to look at the Levy book.
Anyway, I think the perceptual model might be right, but it might also be an artefact of the way that I state things. I guess what I want to say are three things. First, I like the account that you get from Arpaly and Sher, which is that you're blameworthy if you're not responsive to genuine moral reasons. Second, I think that once you reject this idea it's going to be really hard to then build up a plausible account of moral responsibility in terms of, say, being responsive to the idea of duty or a sense of duty. Third (not in the post), views that insist that there are epistemic constraints on moral obligations will be forced into accepting a problematic account of moral responsibility, one on which the agent's rationality is "sealed off" from genuine reasons, as you put it. I didn't touch on the third point in the post.
Send me your review of Levy's book when you're done with it, I'd love to take a look. Maybe we can chat when I'm in Dallas. I'm trying to arrange a trip for April.

Thanks for your remarks. It seems that there are now people (including you, obviously) who are connecting epistemology and moral responsibility in interesting ways. Since I don't have anything to offer on the epistemology side of things, I'm going to watch with interest as the learned duke this out. I certainly find the idea that you have to control your own beliefs in order to have control over your actions to be absurd on its face. But the only good answer I came up with as answer to this was something like what you seem to be thinking: that at some point we just bump up, as it were, against objective normative reasons.
I'm probably not going to press this point in my review, even if it has some bite, since it seems to be too narrow in scope--since I think there must other circumstances in which we're responsible---and I have doubts about the picture of normative reasons it seems to require us to accept.
I'm inclined to step back from the argument you discuss, and ask a bigger question of Levy: what would an agent who was responsible for her actions be like if one existed? I don't get a clear picture---I can't see how we could control our beliefs in a way that he demands. I'm suspicious of a conception of moral responsibility that entails that no creature could ever be morally responsible for what she does.
Anyway, I'll send you the review when I finish it. Let me see whatever work out on this issue. Hope to see you in Dallas.

I am also interested in Steve's review of Levy's book! I think Levy's argument differs from Zimmerman's in not turning on premise 6 (Levy accepts premise 6 and has argued for its truth, but his argument does not utilize the premise). Rather, he focuses on internal reasons because he thinks that agents can be blamed only for failing to do those things that can reasonably be expected to do, and we can reasonably be expected to something only if we can it by means of a reasoning procedure. Levy agrees that if Arpaly's views of how moral responsibility works were true, that argument would fail. He agrees, moreover, that his argument simply begs the question against Arpaly. But he takes himself to have independent arguments against her view.

Hi Neil,
I'm looking forward to reading his book precisely because I think this sort of argument won't work without some independent reason to reject the kind of quality of will acct she and others have defended.
(This isn't Neil Levy, is it? I'm guessing it's not.)

I thought when I posted through my google account, my full name would be displayed. This is Neil Levy. I actually think that Arpaly changes the subject. By 'morally responsible' she just means something like 'expressing through one's actions one's morally relevant actions'. She does not give us any reason to believe that that is the kind of thing that underlies desert. I think she may even accept that it does not. Of course, if what you mean by MR is Arpaly-style MR, then internal reasons are not going to be especially important.
I also think that even as an account of Arpaly-style MR, the account fails. But that's another book (ms available on request!)

Hi Neil,
That's strange, I guess there's something wonky with the commenting features. Anyway, thanks for the comments.
I've just skimmed parts of Hard Luck this past week and have been mulling over your charge that Arpaly changes the subject. Think there's something to it, but it's something that I haven't had much time to think about yet. On the one hand, I don't know if there should be a connection between blame and differential treatment. On the other, I feel the force of the trivialization charge. (You don't really have another MS on this, do you?)
- March 18, 2012 at 2:04 PM
- Neil said...
Yes, I'm serious about having another ms on this. The new book (ms available on request!) is on the need for consciousness for moral responsibility - something that Arpaly (and Scanlon, and Angela Smith, and George Sher) deny. The Huck Finn case, as Araply reads it, is a counterexample. But she misreads it, and it really isn't. Huck isn't akratic in the least. I have a paper in the Dec 11 issue of *Analytic Philosophy* discussing the case. In short: Huck knows what he ought to do. He also knows what the rules he calls 'morality' require of him. He sees the conflict and concludes that morality is wrong and resolves to ignore it.

Clayton, Neil,
Hello to Neil Levy!
Other readers of this blog should note that some posts are being 'published' out of the order in which they were sent. But you should be able to figure out what's being discussed.
I've just finished writing my review. I'm happy to send it to both of you. (Neil, you'd get the draft form in any case.)Write me at my SMU e-mail address.
Since it had to be limited to 1500 words I had to limit my critical remarks, and so I made one point about moral theory, my specialty.
The argument about the epistemic conditions on control, which is Clayton's focus, is not discussed. I've expressed my doubts about it on this blog, but I think Clayton, not I, has the kind of expertise that will help us get to the bottom of it.
Neil: I'd be interested, though, if you'd like to answer a question I asked: can you describe for us what a creature would be like who was morally responsible for her actions? Would it be possible for a kind of creature for whom this was true to come about by natural selection? Or would it have to be some sort of angel? Would it be possible for it to have the sort of beliefs that we do (which generally aren't under our control in the way certain bodily movements are)?
Two last points: I agree that Neil has a good argument against Arpaly (though I need to go back and check if he's describing her position correctly). In general, I think it's correct to say, as Neil does, that blame is different from a simple evaluation as 'bad'. (Adam Smith said that when we say that someone is virtuous we don't mean that she is useful in the way 'a chest of drawers' is.)
But I take Clayton to be saying that Arpaly (and Sher) have another point, one that bears on the specific issue of the epistemic conditions on control. This argument, as I would put it, asserts that an agent's rationality isn't to be judged exclusively in terms of what she herself judges to be rational or judges she has reason to do. If this completely internalist conception of normativity were correct then (it seems to me) objective normative reasons, even if they exist, have no relevance in assessing whether someone acts (or thinks) rationally, and that seems very doubtful to me.
My criticism of Neil focuses on another issue, though.

Hi Steve,
I'll email you as you suggest. Let me answer your question publicly, though. I take moral responsibility to be impossible, so long as moral responsibility is a partially historical concept. It is impossible - for any being in any world - to tke responsibility for the mechanisms on which we act )to speak like Fischer). Of course some philosohers deny the historical claim; here it comes down who can tell a more plausible story about a range of cases.
Independently of this claim, I have a second argument for the impossibility claim, one that is closer to the one Clayton targets, turning on the epistemic conditions of responsibility. The argument rests importantly on a fundamental moral intuitions (which Arpaly and Clayton would reject): that it is fair to blame someone only if it reasonable to expect them to behave otherwise, and I cash that out in terms of what they can do via a reasoning procedure. Again, everything will depend on who can tell a more compelling story about a range of cases. In defense of my view, I think it is pretty clear that Arpaly is not entitled to claim Huck as evidence for her side.

Hi Neil,
I'd love to read the paper you described in your most recent comment (i.e., the paper that focuses on the epistemic conditions of responsibility). Is that the Analytic Philosophy piece, or something else?

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Tracee Ellis Ross says her upcoming role on the ABC comedy "Black-ish" allows her to be who she really is: a biracial woman.
"I am both (black and white) and yet I identify as a black woman," said the 41-year-old actress Tuesday at the Television Critics Association annual summer press tour. Ross' parents are singer Diana Ross and music executive Robert Ellis Silberstein.
"It's really fun for me to actually play a mixed girl on television. I am actually out (pause) as a mixed woman," she laughed.
On "Black-ish", Ross is the wife of Anthony Anderson's character, who worries they've lost touch with their ethnicity.
She said their TV marriage is rare because it's a happy, healthy relationship, rather than dysfunctional.
"The comedy between this couple does not come from them hating each other," Ross said.
"Black-ish" also stars Laurence Fishburne, who has a role on NBC's "Hannibal." Fishburne says he won't do a full season of either series so he has time for both.
"Black-ish" premieres in September.

#3 Baseball Falls 7-5 To Top-Ranked Cal State Fullerton
March 31, 2009
TEMPE, Ariz. - The No. 3 Arizona State University baseball team fell 7-5 to top-ranked Cal State Fullerton on Tuesday in the first game of the DeMarini West Coast Challenge in front of 3,851 fans at Winkles Field-Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark. The Sun Devils drop to 19-5 on the season with the loss.
Jason Kipnis led the Sun Devil offense with two hits and three RBI, including his team-leading ninth home run of the season.
Cal State Fullerton jumped out to an early lead with three runs in the first two innings off ASU starting pitcher Matt Newman. The Sun Devils rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the second, as Drew Maggi scored on a throwing error, Zack MacPhee hit a sacrifice fly and Kipnis had an RBI single.
The Titans would then go back in front for good in the sixth, as they would score single runs in each of the last four innings. Kipnis had a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to cut ASU's deficit to two, but Cal State Fullerton closer Michael Morrison came on to record the final two outs.
Titans' reliever Nick Ramirez went 4.1 shutout innings to earn the win. Jason Franzblau took the loss for the Sun Devils, despite allowing just three hits and one earned run over 4.1 innings out of the bullpen.
The Sun Devils had nine freshmen and three junior college transfers get their first taste of the ASU-Cal State Fullerton rivalry in the game.
The two teams will complete their two-game series on Wednesday, with first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m. at Winkles Field-Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark.

Welcome to a New Year and a new focus for SQL Server Magazine UPDATE--Special Edition. These are exciting times as we approach SQL Server 2005's release. Over the coming months I'll be highlighting each tier of Microsoft's new business intelligence (BI) offerings, weighing in on SQL Server 2005's products, and passing along insights I gather from the development team and other industry experts who are already familiar with the newest 2005 features. If you aren't already a BI junkie, stay tuned; you'll catch the fever before 2005 hits the streets. In the meantime, I want to encourage you to dig into SQL Server 2005's betas and Community Technology Previews (CTPs). Read Brian Moran's article "Technology Previews Deliver Pre-Beta 3 Peeks at SQL Server 2005" at http://www.winnetmag.com/article/articleid/44291/44291.html for more information about these between-beta treats.
I want to begin my BI exploration with the foundation: extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). If you've ever delivered an enterprise data warehouse then you probably know that most of the project risk and developer hours go into the ETL development, which is why SQL Server 2005's ETL capabilities are so exciting. In case you missed the memo ("PASS News: DTS Renamed Integration Services" at http://www.winnetmag.com/article/articleid/44154/44154.html ), Microsoft replaced Data Transformation Services (DTS) with SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). Notice that I didn't say DTS has been renamed. SSIS is essentially a new product.
I spoke with SSIS Group Program Manager Donald Farmer to learn what he thinks is most exciting about the product. Donald started by telling me that SSIS is not just an ETL tool. Although it's an application that moves millions of rows of data to and from heterogeneous data sources, SSIS functionality doesn't stop there. The tool leverages the end-to-end BI suite by offering complete data integration, movement, and shaping, which means that SSIS provides data cleansing, extensibility, and interoperability. All of which improves application performance. SSIS comes with a lot of pre-built data-cleansing functionality, including completely integrated functions such as Fuzzy Matching and Fuzzy Grouping, which use algorithms to match or group disparate data to a configurable degree of accuracy. SSIS will offer broad extensibility for third-party components; so if a functionality doesn't come in the box, SSIS lets you build your own components or add a third-party component to solve your problem. Interoperability ties the Microsoft BI platform together; SSIS can load data directly into Analysis Services cubes and it offers robust data-mining features for including scalable data-mining model creation, training, and predictions. Perhaps most surprising to me was SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services integration, which lets you treat an SSIS package as the data source for reporting. And, the SSIS team has worked extensively on balancing performance and scalability; the result of their efforts lets complex, high-volume ETL run on lighter-weight servers, so you can scale down. It will be hard for the competition to keep up with SSIS performance.
I also cornered my colleague, Erik Veerman, who has been working with SSIS for more than a year and has a lot of experience with SSIS development and production deployment. Erik noted that SSIS has let him rethink his long-standing ETL best practices and build new architectures that reduce ETL data staging areas and minimize performance costs associated with data staging (disk I/O and serial processing). Erik explained that SSIS offers capabilities in its data flow to perform complex data transformations, data cleansing, and high-volume lookups--all inline from source to destination. Another specific feature Erik raves about is the Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD) wizard. Through the SCD interface, you can rapidly generate all the steps and required code to add unique handling of history to multiple attributes in a given dimension. The SCD Wizard is definitely a feature that will separate Microsoft from the rest of the ETL pack.
I've been excited about SSIS since last summer, when I got involved in an early beta program. Spending time talking with Donald and Erik has gotten me even more excited to see what SQL Server Magazine readers are going to do once they've gotten up to speed with SSIS. Keep me posted!

Rochester, Lebanon win before rain halts Legion playBy ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 26. 2013 7:54PM
CONCORD — They played baseball at the American Legion state tournament Friday, but they didn't play to the end.
The tournament's first two games were completed at Concord's Memorial Field, but Games 3 and 4 were postponed until today. Rochester beat Laconia 5-3 in the tournament's first game, and Lebanon defeated Derry 10-2 in the second contest.
Goffstown was scheduled to face Nashua in Game 3, and Concord was scheduled to meet Londonderry in Game 4. The Goffstown/Nashua game was moved to this morning at 9, and the Concord/Londonderry contest will follow.
Gary Webster, chairman of the New Hampshire American Legion baseball committee, said four games are on today's schedule. Derry will face the Concord/Londonderry loser at 4 p.m., and Laconia will play the Goffstown/Nashua loser at 7 p.m.Rochester 5, Laconia 3
Left fielder Anthony Diprizio collected two hits and drove in two runs to highlight Rochester's victory.
Rochester led 3-0 after three innings, but Laconia made it a one-run game by scoring twice in the top of the eighth. Rochester regained a three-run advantage by pushing across two more runs in the bottom of the eighth.
Rich Kramer struck out 11 in seven innings to earn the win. He allowed two runs on six hits and walked two.
Graham Nyhan surrendered all five Rochester runs and took the loss. Nyhan pitched seven innings and walked seven.
Mark Leahy and Andrew Langdon each had two hits for Rochester, which will face the Goffstown/Nashua winner in its next game.
Ryder Arsenault had three of Laconia's eight hits.Lebanon 10, Derry 2
Joe Cravero pitched eight scoreless innings as Lebanon cruised to an easy victory in its opener.
Cravero allowed four hits, struck out 12 and walked three. Cravero and Cam Blewitt each had three hits and two RBIs. Lebanon's Dalton's Campbell had two hits and drove in four.
Jeff Singster had two of Derry's seven hits. Derry also received a two-run single from third baseman Kyle Albertelli.
Derry's Andrew Herlihy started on the mound and gave up five runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. Derry, which trailed 10-0 entering the bottom of the ninth, committed five errors in the loss.
Lebanon will play the Concord/Londonderry winner.

Packing Suggestions
Your packing list will vary depending on the season and the specific areas you plan to visit.
It's always beneficial to travel light. This may feel daunting at first but it's easy to accomplish with some strategizing.
If you have internal flights, bear in mind there is a weight restriction of 44 lb.s for check in and 12 lb.s for carry on.
While the weather in Egypt will be moderate in the winter, it is still the desert and, therefore, can be counted on to be dry and sunny. Nights in the desert can be chilly so sweaters and jackets are recommended. Travelers generally find it best to dress in layers. Please use the following list as a guideline of what to bring. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The key to successful packing is to think in terms of layering. Unless you are traveling in the summer months, two very useful items to have are a fleece and a wind jacket.
Dress Etiquette
Informal dress is the norm with Egyptians—who are by now fairly accustomed to how foreign tourists dress. However, their tastes are still somewhat conservative with regard to women. While slacks and knee-length walking shorts for ladies are readily accepted, barebacked sundresses and skimpy clothes in streets and public areas are generally not. Also please avoid sleeveless shirts and tank tops in public areas (though a tank top under a blouse with sleeves is acceptable).
Comfortable, low-key apparel is acceptable at each of your destinations. Basic pants, shirts, walking shorts, sportswear, everyday dresses and skirts, supportive shoes, and functional outdoor clothes are recommended.
A long-sleeve shirt made of light washable linen or cotton is recommended for sun protection. Also light—cottons are less sticky than synthetics. Add a sweater for cool evenings.
As you will likely be doing a significant amount of walking on your trip, good walking shoes that provide support are vital. Easy-to-kick-off sandals or moccasins are nice to have for visiting mosques.
Critical Papers
- Passport (bring an additional 1-2 copies kept separately from your original)
- airline tickets
- medical insurance card
- cash/credit card
- Comfortable/breathable travel clothing (note: laundry facilities can be undependable).
- Jacket/Sweater
- Comfortable rubber sole walking shoes
- Hat (for sun protection)
- Sunglasses
- Wrap or shawl (In some mosques, churches or synagogues visitors must have their legs and/or shoulders covered
- Good sturdy walking shoes
- Easy to kick off sandals or moccasins for visiting mosques
- Nice pair of cushioned sandals or everyday leather shoes
- Prescription medication should be packed in carry-on bags. Copies of prescriptions should be brought.
- While over-the-counter medication is available, we recommend that you bring pain relievers, stomach medication, band-aids, topical antibiotic, motion sickness preventatives, etc.
- Extra eye-glasses and contact lenses
- Eye drops
- Insect repellent
- Sunscreen
- Camera with extra batteries and a larger memory card
- Water bottle holders are very convenient as an alternative to carrying bottles. Bottled water is available for purchase locally.
- "Fanny Pack" or similar bag to carry money/documents, etc.
- Small backpack or bag for carrying camera, wind jacket, etc. on your outings
- Hand sanitizer/towelettes
- Good hat for sun protection
- Small flashlight / headlamps
- Tissue to clean desert dust from camera lenses and glasses
