Managing inventory is an important job in any company that sells and ships goods. Making sure orders are accurate and delivered on time is vital to keeping customers happy. Therefore, it's important to strive for a "perfect order" every time.
That's where an order management system (OMS) comes in. OMS software gives supply chain managers a bird's eye view of open orders, available inventory, payment and delivery status and more. Managers can use this information to identify potential problems and optimize processes to keep purchasing and fulfillment running smoothly.
If you're considering an order management system for your business, this guide is for you. Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Order Management Software?
Who Buys Order Management Software?
Common Order Management Functionality
Potential Order Management Software Benefits
Market Trends to Understand
Order management software supports order entry, processing and fulfillment of orders from the point of purchase through payment and delivery.
Businesses that use this type of system have:
Inventory quantities, types and status for Orderhive
Retail companies are the primary purchasers of order management systems. Multichannel retail businesses are complex, often dealing with a large number of suppliers, warehouses and fulfillment channels.
Companies in industries that manage supply chain demands also benefit greatly from the added efficiency this type of software brings. These industries can include:
Order management is useful for any size B2C, B2B or wholesale company. This can include anything from small e-commerce companies processing single units at a time to large enterprises filling orders of thousands of units.
Order management applications are diverse. Some vendors offer integrated suites with a large number of modules, while others specialize in one or two particular functions. Most, however, include the following core functionalities:
|Customer database
|A customer database is, as the name implies, a database for customer information. At the very least, it will store customer and vendor data, current and past orders, delivery receipts, invoices and payments. The more customizable the system, the more types of data a business can store.
|Catalog management
|Gives managers the tools to import and maintain catalog content. Some products allow suppliers to manage and revise items themselves, so the content is always accurate. Other features may include revision tracking, automatic categorization, taxonomy management and user access/privilege control.
|Inventory management
|Works to manage inventory levels, track shipping costs, identify trends and more. This makes it possible to forecast and optimize inventory planning strategies.
|Order fulfillment
|Order fulfillment and tracking systems track unpaid orders and streamline the entire fulfillment process. Systems use rules and algorithms to review orders and determine the most efficient way to fill them.

Businesses that choose the right OMS can realize several key benefits. Most commonly, an OMS will help users to:
Speed order processing. With greater visibility of the order-to-delivery cycle, it's possible to find bottlenecks and improve the process.
Reduce back orders and delays. Since inventory data is always up-to-date, managers can predict shortages and make plans to circumvent them. An OMS also simplifies reordering, so it's easier to maintain optimal inventory levels.
Improve customer service. Greater overall efficiency and an error-free order-to-delivery cycle naturally leads to more satisfied customers. At the same time, customers can know the availability of items in their order.
As e-commerce and automation become more important to businesses, be sure to keep these current trends in mind when choosing an OMS:
Businesses are looking for a unified omnichannel management system. A unified omnichannel business management system is capable of managing customer interactions and information, updating warehouse inventory, accessing accounting information, managing the retail order supply chain and much more.
Nowadays, businesses are looking for integrated suites that not only automate the entire order distribution process, but can also help manage in-house inventory, monitor retail point of sale, control warehouse operations and coordinate with logistics providers via a single integrated solution. Such unified offerings help businesses manage multiple operations from a single platform.
Demand for integrated solution increases. Most small and midsize OMS vendors are not capable of providing unified suites that can offer multiple capabilities within a single solution. In such cases, they provide a suitable integration tool or an application programming interface (API) for integrating the solution with other business applications, such as customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), business intelligence and transportation management systems.
Even businesses having separate applications for different operations give preference to solutions that can offer seamless integration with other in-house systems and applications. This kind of an integrated architecture streamlines the flow of information between applications and provides a scalable environment in which new applications can be deployed and connected to the existing network easily.
Many businesses also look for an OMS solution that can integrate with various e-commerce websites, such as Amazon and eBay, for selling products directly through these channels.

Rise in demand for cloud-based offerings. More and more OMS software vendors are upgrading their solutions from on-premise to cloud-based deployment models. In cloud-based deployment, the hardware and supporting infrastructure is hosted on the vendor's premises, and users access the interface through a web browser via any internet-enabled device. Such a deployment model benefits both software providers and end users in terms of cost, centralized system management, fewer network errors and enhanced solution scalability.
Vendors can also host their applications on third-party cloud service providers, such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google, and further reduce their service prices so end users can manage their orders and inventory at a lower cost. Such a model also saves end users from the trouble of software and hardware installation.
Mobility. Users are giving priority to mobile-friendly solutions that are easy to access on tablets and smartphone devices as well as desktops and laptops. Such mobility enhances users' productivity in tracking business operations on the go. Most order management solutions come with dedicated mobile apps that are compatible with different mobile operating platforms including Android, iOS and Windows. These apps not only help businesses streamline the entire quote-to-order process but also improve the overall user experience by providing all order-related information on their fingertips.
Big-data analysis. Most businesses are looking for solutions that can analyze the huge chunks of data collected from multiple data points during customer interactions and order delivery. Such analysis helps businesses generate suitable insights regarding demand forecasting, improving forecast accuracy, reducing forecast errors and studying customer behavior. It also helps in order capacity optimization, especially when a business has multiple product offerings.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

July 3, 2013
The City of Lakewood Ohio will be celebrating July 4th with mandatory bag searches and a ban on all Fourth of July related fun — including fireworks, drinks, grills, pets, sports, and just about everything else.
The anti-independence regulation is a real testament to the current state of our nation, which now stands for heavy bans on all forms of person freedom. But I would have never actually known about this insane ban if it weren't for a Storyleak reader who sent me the amazing image above. And following my inquiry as to where the image came from, doubting that any city could be so draconian and downright wicked, I was amazed when the reader went and linked me to a page on The Lakewood Observer website which listed all of the same nonsense with official quotes from the city.
As you can see from the 'Special Park Rules To Be In Effect At Lakewood Park On July 4th' article posted a week ago on The Lakewood Observer website, all of the same insane regulations are listed clearly as seen on the original sign. The website reads:
"The following rules will be in effect at Lakewood Park on July 4, 2013:
- All generators, propane and gas fueled grills are prohibited.
- All tents and shelters are prohibited.
- Police will be conducting searches of bags and coolers for reasons of public safety.
- No alcoholic beverages are permitted at any time throughout the year.
- No personal fireworks. This includes novelty fireworks like sparklers.
- No dogs or pets of any kind will be permitted in the park on July 4th.
- The skate park, tennis courts, basketball courts and Kid's Cove playground will be closed at 7:00 p.m."
Are you as amazed as I was that this is actually real, and a city ordinance at that? I thought that maybe it was a private place and the owner was just bitter about people celebrating on the land, but this is actually a city declaration and sign. And for the ever-tiring purpose of 'security'. Because so many people are killed each year from sparklers and grilling burgers. The insanity here reminds me of the individual I debated on video who called for a ban on all guns, knives, hammers, nails, and even glass.
We can even see on the website a quote from Lakewood's Mayor Mike Summers, which reads:
"Safety is our first priority. These added security measures will help to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July."
Right, it's all about keeping you safe from fireworks the celebration of the nation's birth. Perhaps they should also usher in the TSA and their naked body scanners to help scan all the attendees and their children for any form of unauthorized food or drink as well.
Everyone needs to share this lunacy and demand that Mayor Mike Summers of Lakewood retract these ridiculous regulations for the citizens of this Ohio town, lest it spreads to nearby cities and across the nation. Also, remember that the Fourth Amendment protects you from such ridiculous bag searches by police. The key here is publicizing the absurdity of these draconian regulations to set a foundation for what we will not tolerate. This truly is a sick society of paranoia and fear.

Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer: Statistics
Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer: Statistics
What are statistics?
Some people use numbers called statistics to figure out their chances of getting cancer. Or they use them to try to figure out their chance of being cured. Because no 2 people are alike, statistics can't be used to predict what will happen to 1 person. The statistics below describe large groups of people. They do not take into account a person's own risk factors, such as family history, behaviors, or cancer screenings. If you have questions, talk with your healthcare provider.
What are the statistics for nonmelanoma skin cancer?
Here are some statistics about nonmelanoma skin cancer:
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer.
Basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas are the most common types of skin cancer.
About 3.3 million people are diagnosed with basal and squamous cell skin cancers in the United States each year. (This is an estimate. Nonmelanoma skin cancers are not required to be reported to cancer registries.)
Nearly all basal and squamous cell skin cancers can be cured. This is more likely if the cancer is found and treated early, when it's small and has not spread.
People with lighter skin who burn easily or have freckles are much more likely to get skin cancer. People with darker skin are less likely to get skin cancer.
Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays is the most important risk factor for skin cancer.
Most skin cancers appear in older people, but skin damage from the sun begins at an early age. Sun protection should start in childhood to prevent skin cancer later in life.

(CNN) -- African-American farmers hoping for government settlement money in a racial bias case met with lawmakers Wednesday and called on Congress to come up with a way to fund the $1 billion deal.
Litigation known as the Pigford Case established a longstanding pattern of discrimination at the U.S. Agriculture Department against African-American farmers who had applied for farm loans and support from federal programs.
Under the terms of an involved process overseen by a federal judge and dating to 1999, qualified farmers could receive $50,000 each to settle claims of racial bias. In addition, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has said those farmers may pursue a claim for actual damages from the bias and potentially receive up to $250,000.
Ralph Paige, executive director of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund, said Wednesday that he believed that Congress was "very close" to coming up with a way to pay the settlement, which covers as many as 80,000 African-American farmers.
"These farmers have suffered much, much too long, and it's time that this thing get behind us. We can settle Pigford once and for all and send a clear message to the country that we are on the right track as a nation," Paige said at news conference.
"We're talking about much more than the money. We are talking about remedying past discrimination," Paige said.
A March 31 deadline to appropriate the funds has passed, and farmers now may withdraw from the settlement and pursue independent litigation against the government. Congress now has a target date of the end of May to come up with a plan.
"We spend a billion dollars on a jet to go bomb somebody. We're talking about a billion dollars to help feed our country, and I just don't see why Congress and the president can't go ahead and find [the funds]. It is an emergency," said Gary Grant, with the Black Farmers and Agriculturalists Association.
Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-North Carolina, said there is a "total commitment" from President Obama and the majority party in the House and Senate to make sure the settlement is taken care of. Butterfield represents his state's First Congressional District, which is home to Timothy Pigford, who filed the class-action lawsuit more than a decade ago.
Butterfield said lawmakers need to work out how to pay for the settlement under the PAYGO rule, meaning Congress must balance any increased spending with equal savings elsewhere. The other option would be to designate the settlement as an emergency, which would be exempt from PAYGO.
Lawmakers are looking for an appropriate piece of legislation in which to include the settlement to avoid adding to the deficit, Butterfield said.
"If we cannot find the appropriate vehicle, then I would certainly support declaring this settlement as a national emergency and adding it to the next supplemental that may be on the House floor," he said.
Farmers have until May 31 to withdraw from the pending class-action settlement and pursue an independent claim against the government if they feel their chances would be better for a payout. If they choose to stay in the class, they will wait as a group to apply for the promised monetary damages.
Vilsack has said there's no question the damages are due for African-American farmers. In a statement last week, he said, "I have met with and talked to key stakeholders and members of Congress reiterating the administration's ongoing efforts to close this chapter in the history of the department."
CNN's Paul Courson and Kristi Keck contributed to this report.

Finally, this sweater (which is the same sweater shown in the very first pic above) is the one I was working on while I was pregnant. The pattern is New Babeh by Kayla Dyches. I love love love this sweater, which was knit with Rowan Amy Butler Belle Organic Aran cotton. It's super soft and basic. If you're looking for a simple unisex newborn sweater to knit up for someone special, give this one a try.
That's about it for now! Do you have any go-to knitting or crochet patterns for newborns?

First: At the end of the last series, you show shots of the ROTS, duels. Were those supposed to be foreshadowing? Or I guess what I really mean to ask is when is this taking place during the Clone Wars?
Second: If the Republic lost Ezatam to the Seperatists then why is there still a Republic Senator on the planet? I could see it if he was captured or something, but that didn't seem like it was the case. It almost seemed like it was still in Republic control.
I suggest if you havent already read it that you do because its a good read and you can see some of the Republic's Military tactics and acronyms used by the Republic's Forces.

Anonymous 5:52PM Hello! Sorry I didn't reply your Facebook message.
It's just a joke - the Head of Department IS the boss in real life, but the nurses have more control over what happens on the ward and how well the doctors (like me) are treated.
I know, it's not very funny anymore now that I've had to explain it. (Not that it was very funny in the first place...) Sorry!

At the 2012 annual conference for FCSI The Americas April 19-21 in Kansas City, a panel presentation on building information modeling (BIM) (with brand names like Revit, SketchUp Pro and Autokitchen) brought up an interesting point: To BIM or not to BIM? That is the question. Certainly, a modern-day move from AutoCAD to the three-dimensional BIM technology offers many benefits, especially as young architects entering the workforce are trained more closely on these platforms. So perhaps the question doesn't deal as much with whether a design practice should adopt programs like Revit or Autokitchen but how best to do so.
Joe Corvaia, project manager at Crawford Architects in Kansas City, admitted learning the new program was a challenge, but he offered some valuable tips for implementing Revit in your business. We've combined those with some of FCSI's recommendations for a closer look at some way design professionals interested in pursuing BIM can get started.

Online Results needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 26 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
We are a new, developing website that should get a large amount of traffic. We want people to think about intelligence and brains when they see our logo.
Our target audience will be people of average smarts to highly intellectual people.
We want our logo to make people immediately think about brains and intelligence, so we are thinking of a happy caricature/cartoon of Einstein riding a foot-powered scooter (since the website's name is BrainScooter). We are picturing the scooter moving to the right with Einstein riding and looking to his right side so that the frontal view of his face is visible. We are thinking of a character similar to the bobble heads from the new Night at the Museum movie. The winner of this other 99designs contest also is in the right direction with their Einstein character http://99designs.com/contests/2308. The name of the website doesn't need to be included in the design, because we are just focusing on the character right now. We would like the design to be colorful so that it is attention grabbing and memorable.
The design needs to be original so that it can be copyrighted and trademarked. No clipart or stock photos/designs swiped from the web! The file format should be scalable and usable for our website as well as for print marketing. We would like to get the design in a vector format as well as a simple JPEG file for us to show our management who might not have programs like AI on their computers. We are open to suggestions and questions!

Kat The Exercise Nazi and I got together tonight for our Torture Training* session. Each session includes a strength training workout and a cardio workout. The strength training bit is not too bad but the cardio portion is positively vile. The cardio workout looks something like this:
1) Walk five minutes (I actually like this part)
2) Run really, really fast for one minute
3) Die for two minutes.
4) Run really, really fast for one minute
4) Die for two minutes.
And more of the same, until the program decides it is done toying with you and allows you to stagger home.
Anyway, so Kat and I were in the middle of one of the dying bits when the buzzer on her stopwatch went off, indicating it was time to start running really, really fast. Instead of resetting her watch and running, Kat continued walking. Downhill.
Me: Ummm....isn't it time to run?
Kat: We are going to walk to the bus stop and start running from there.
Me: But the bus stop is further down the hill.
Kat: Yes.
Me: Which means we will have to run up the hill.
Kat: Yes! Last time, by the time we finished running the road had flattened out.
Me: And...there is something wrong with that?
Kat: Excuse me, Ms. Snackcident? How many rugellach ** did you end up eating the other day? Yes there is something wrong with that. Uphill!
Me: whinewhinewhine.
Kat: Stop whining. Think of Elmer.
Me: whinewhinewhine.
Kat: If you don't stop whining, I am going to scream "Think of Elmer's ass" really loud. (It should be noted that she did not say "Elmer". She said Elmer's name.)
Now that is a dirty trick. But I still stopped whining.
Note to self: must find exercise nazi who does not read blogs.
*The program is actually called "turbulence training". But I was speaking with my friend, Pnina, and she accidentally replaced the 'turbulence' with 'torture'. Somehow, inexplicably, the name stuck.
** I fought the rugellach. The rugellach won.

Cardio is always the hard part for me because there is just wayyyy too much time to think of all the reasons to stop doing it. Strength training is nice, short and intense. Cardio is the real test!
On the flip side, I've been back at the gym for a good 2.5 months and I've managed to gain 4 pounds. WTF? It ain't all muscle, either. Looks like it's back to the low carb lifestyle. Sigh.

BUY ALERAM NO PRESCRIPTION, As I look back through the standings and recall all the SEI Superconference girls and boys basketball games I covered this season, some points stick out in my mind about what I saw. Some of it was good, is ALERAM safe, Purchase ALERAM for sale, some bad and some indifferent. But, ALERAM pics, Where can i cheapest ALERAM online, here are a few thoughts:
1. Both the North Divisions were top-heavy, buy ALERAM no prescription, Where can i buy cheapest ALERAM online, while the South Divisions were deeper. Yet, you won't find better teams or more worthy conference tournament champions than the South Division champion Holy Trinity girls or North champion Pekin boys, ALERAM images. ALERAM brand name, Both teams were impressive in their title runs. The Crusaders took out two rugged North Division teams in Mediapolis and Highland for their title, while Pekin won its showdown against No, BUY ALERAM NO PRESCRIPTION. 5 WACO to prove the only regular-season meeting between the two (the Panthers won by 13) wasn't a fluke, buy cheap ALERAM no rx. ALERAM recreational, Pekin beat WACO by 26 Friday night in an impressive defensive performance.
2, online ALERAM without a prescription. ALERAM street price, Pekin's Jordan Sathoff is the best player in the conference, and would probably be the All-Hawk Eye Player of the Year if the school was in our coverage area. With all due respect to strong players from WACO, rx free ALERAM, ALERAM natural, Van Buren, Central Lee and Notre Dame, ALERAM without prescription, ALERAM for sale, no one is more physically imposing than the 6-foot-8 Sathoff. BUY ALERAM NO PRESCRIPTION, I covered him for two years when I worked in Fairfield, and he was just beginning his run to greatness. Sathoff has terrific touch around the basket, buy ALERAM without a prescription, ALERAM overnight, and rebounds with ease. He's the most dominant player on arguably the conference's best team (we'll never know since Van Buren did not qualify for the top tier of the tournament), japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal. ALERAM brand name, 3. The final two games in the top tier of the conference tournaments were better than the first-round games. Case in point, cheap ALERAM no rx, Purchase ALERAM for sale, the Central Lee and Notre Dame boys consolation Friday had the feel of a postseason atmosphere. Holy Trinity's game with Highland was closer than the 17 points that was the margin of victory, BUY ALERAM NO PRESCRIPTION. I saw the first-round games at Holy Trinity, ALERAM treatment. Cheap ALERAM, Neither left me speechless.
4, ALERAM class. ALERAM pictures, I think the Notre Dame boys will right the ship in time for a big postseason run. The Nikes lost both conference tournament games and have been ordinary recently. BUY ALERAM NO PRESCRIPTION, Defensively the Nikes have been inconsistent lately, but they aren't likely to see a Trevor Pezley (Central Lee) or a Sathoff during the postseason. Notre Dame can still score, canada, mexico, india, Online buying ALERAM, but great defense fueled the Nikes' 13-0 start; it has to for four more wins to get to Des Moines.
5, online buy ALERAM without a prescription. ALERAM photos, The Class 2A district/substate with Central Lee, Van Buren and Pekin should be a bloodbath. All three can beat each other. Pekin's two losses this season have been by four total points. Central Lee will be tough for both, BUY ALERAM NO PRESCRIPTION. Whoever emerges from the district to meet No. 1 Pella Christian in substate will be a worthy representative.
6. I was not surprised Harmony gave Holy Trinity a run Thursday. I saw it coming. BUY ALERAM NO PRESCRIPTION, Harmony was a dangerous team entering the postseason, with a healthy Rachael Remick and mostly the same team that handed the Crusaders their last loss. It'll be interesting to see how the Crusaders fare against Fairfield Maharishi Tuesday. Maharishi always has been a strong defensive team, but I think the Crusaders have too much offense.
The postseason should be interesting. There's no telling which teams will surprise.

I've recently been enjoying Joshua Greene's "The Secret Joke of Kant's Soul" (penultimate manuscript available here). Greene's research suggests that the moral judgments of Kantian deontologists (who focus on such things as rights, duties, and "respect for persons") tend largely to be rationalizations of evolutionarily-selected emotional responses, while the moral judgments of utilitarians and consequentialists (who focus on such things as maximizing the good of everyone) tend to be more rationally driven (or at least less driven by emotional "alarm systems"). The sorts of cases on which Kantians and consequentialists tend to disagree are cases where maximizing the good violates what we might perceive as someone's rights. Should you push someone in front of a runaway trolley, thereby killing him, if that's the only way to save five other innocent people? Should you smother your baby to death if that's the only way to prevent yourself, your baby, and several other people from being found and killed by Nazis? The Kantian impulse (with caveats and complications, of course) is to say no in such cases, the consequentialist to say yes.
Now if (a.) Greene is right about Kantianism as principally a post-hoc rationalization of evolutionarily selected emotions -- and needless to say it's very controversial! -- and if (b.) the apparently widespread view is correct that Kantians behave less well than consequentialists, and finally if (c.) emotional reactions tend to be more self-serving than do consequentialist principles, then, well, maybe (a) and (c) together explain (b).
Let me stress that I myself have no beef against Kantian deontology or Kantian deontologists and that conditions (a) and (b) are highly speculative. Finally, the only small bit of direct empirical evidence I have on the moral behavior of Kantians versus deontologists (the rate at which ethics books are missing from academic libraries) suggests that patrons are no more likely, and maybe even a bit less likely, to misappropriate Kantian than utilitarian texts.

The Nietzschean gloss on moral reasoning — i.e., it's a rationalization of one's will to power, healthy or sick, as the case may be — is a kind of rhetorical performance that's very difficult to coherently defend. Greene's "Secret Joke" is a case in point: We can simply reverse his argument by claiming that such things as maximizing the greatest good is a rationalization of the evolutionarily-selected instinct to promote the survival of the species. At any rate, incommensurability of values will remain a problem so long as we can evaluate reasons from more than one perspective: an agent-centered (personal) POV and an outcome-based (impersonal) POV.

I think a carefully spoken scientist would call the book losses "empirical data" not "evidence," which outside courtrooms usually implies "of something." Anyway, my hypothesis is the Kantians are simply better thieves, being zealots to the principle. Members of both groups know the world would be a better place if wrong-headed notions of morality were to disappear or diminish.

Hi Eric,
A couple - ok 3 - points:
(1) I wonder whether it makes sense to assume that evolution would select for self-serving emotional responses. The "evolution explains altruistic behavior" crowd would prbly have doubts about this as an assumption.
(2) In a related vein -- it is worth noting that, if I remember rightly, Richard Joyce makes a plausible case for the view that belief in, and substantive compliance with, deontic constraints (and overriding external moral reasons) can be explained by evolution. The rough view would be that Kantian morality is in fact based on illusions (deontic constraints "depend on" false beliefs) but that it is in our collective interest to keep the illusion alive, so to speak.
Hope that makes some sense and is true to the animating spirit of his view.
(3)Finally I was talking to Julia Driver about your work on the behavior of ethicists -- specifically I was thinking about a possible link between vegetarianism and utilitarianism. I suggested that this might be a good case to study and show that moral thinking can produce better behavior - or at least bring behavior in line with perceived moral rightness.
But her story, and a brief survey of some other vegetarians and utilitarians suggests to me that the causation may go the other way: feelings that are pro-vegetarian lead to sympathy with, say, Singer's arguments.
Of course this is NOT to say that the view is not rational or rationally adopted.
Any way, I will check out the Greene - sounds like an uncharitable smear attack on Kantians, but maybe it is not.
Why are Kantians irrational for adopting views that *happens* to accord with evolutionarily shaped emotional responses?
Maybe nature was just not that step-motherly after all and gave us emotions that reliably track the right!
I miss commenting here!

Greene's argument seems to me to overstep the bounds of his evidence; what his research shows is that moral judgments of Kantian deonotlogists largely tend to converge with evolutionarily-selected emotional responses, while the moral judgments of utilitarians and consequentialists will often diverge from them. And it's entirely possible for Kantians to think this good and consequentialists to think it worrisome. For Kant himself, of course, it would not be a problem; his system requires that something like this be true, that the rational and the natural converge (for their different reasons). It's arguably (a version of) a postulate of moral reason, in fact. But that gets into features of Kant's system that aren't always accepted today even by Kantian deontologists. Likewise, many of the early utilitarians would be worried about any major divergences, for similar reasons. (And ditto about the relation between their views and what is accepted today by modern utilitarians).
But assuming (a), (b), and (c) (I have doubts about all three), it does seem reasonable to take (a) and (c) as explanatory for (b).

Thanks for the comments, everyone!
Kevin: Greene might not actually disagree with your claim about the evolutionary basis of consequentialism, but he does think that there's a disanalogy, revealed by brain-imaging studies and reaction times in the type of cognition involved in the two theories and the exact way in which emotion is involved.
MT: I'm not sure I follow your suggestion. Is your idea (perhaps meant tongue-in-cheek?) that the Kantians are stealing the consequentialist texts -- to dispose of them, presumably? (If so, it's a cute thought, but it seems unlikely to me!)
- Wed Jan 16, 05:28:00 PM PST
- Eric Schwitzgebel said...
Welcome back, Brad! We've missed your insight.
I agree about (1) -- but really all that's needed for my point (I think!) is that the emotional reactions selected by evolution are more self-serving than consequentialist principles are; and that seems plausible, even if we grant (as Greene also grants) that some evolutionarily selected emotional reactions are altruistic.
On (2): I'll have to read the Joyce, which I'm afraid I'm not familiar with. On the face of it, it seems reasonable to suppose there might be some rough relationship between what's in our best inclusive fitness and what makes for a good deontic ethics, but I'd bet that a closer look would reveal substantial divergences -- for example in our tendency to react more strongly to viscerally gruesome violations or to nearby violations. (Though maybe deontologists can take care of those sorts of mismatch through reflective equilibrium?)
On (3): That's an interesting speculation about the causal direction. I bet there's a lot to it. I'd love to find a good way to study rates of vegetarianism and charitable giving among philosophers!
In response to your one of your final remarks: Adopting views due to evolutionarily selected emotions is not per se irrational -- but neither is it to be driven by the processes of reason, at least in a fairly restricted sense of "reason". I agree that it's a point to get clearer on and a distinction that can become elusive when you push on it.
- Wed Jan 16, 05:41:00 PM PST
- Eric Schwitzgebel said...
Thanks for the comment, Brandon. Greene does make the point that this may play out worse for contemparily naturalistic Kantian ethics than for earlier, historical positions, so he might not entirely disagree with you.
- Wed Jan 16, 05:44:00 PM PST
- Brad C said...
Hi Eric-
Thanks for the speedy response! I just read (VERY quickly) through the Greene and have a more specific worry.
On major claim is that consequentialist responses require more cognitive processing while deotological ones require less and are based more on emotion. The methodology is to identify responses typical of the two types of views and to then do brain imagining and to measure response times. Quick and dirty emotional reactions track "deontic intuitions" - evidenced by brain activity in the emotional centers and by shorter response times.
My worry is that he is not running experiments for cases in which we would suspect (from the armchair) that consequentialist views will track intuitive responses - and hence emotions - and in which Kantian will run counter to conventional views and emotions. (By the way this worry is re-inforced when we see him casting the consequentialist as revising intuitive morality and the kantian as confirming conventional moral views -- he tenuously links this to certain trends in meta-ethics too...but back to the point).
As an example, consider cases such as the classic Kantian murderer at the door. Ignoring recent work by Kant interpreters like Wood, we can take the CI procedure as telling us that it is wrong to lie in this case. But conventional morality would not agree. I bet that this is a case where consequentialist outcomes would track emotion-quick-response time.
In general I think we can challenge his conclusions by picking out cases where deontological morality runs up against common conventional morality and consequentialism supports the conventional view. I bet that emotions will track the conventional and consequentialist views in these cases.
This all makes sense given how we normally teach intro to ethics - each approach captures some parts of conventional morality but they are each revisionary in some respects.
My guess is that emotional reactions and quick responses will track the overlap, but cognitive processing will increase in the places where each theory is revisionary. Emotion tracks convention - not one theory rather than another.
Ok -- sorry for the long post, ending in a speculative hypothesis!
Hope I did not mis-charicaturize his argument because of my quick read-through.
- Wed Jan 16, 06:00:00 PM PST
- Brad C said...
Just to follow up:
On page 40 Greene seems to anticipate my worry but he tries to diffuse it by saying that contemporary Kantians aim to revise the theory so it no longer has revisionary import (at least in the Lying at the door case). Fair enough. But the same could be said about consequentailism - think of all the rule (and indirect, motive, and character) consequentialists out there. To paraphrase Greene, if you want to know what part of consequentialism will get revised by contemporary theorists, follow the emotion.
The fact is that many philosophers now employ something like the method of reflective equilibrium. But that does not show that they have no revisionary import. And that is not something that is characteristic of Kantianism or deontology per se.
Finally, I still think that in the cases in which Kantians support revision, their theory will not be found to comport with quick emotional processing.
- Wed Jan 16, 06:48:00 PM PST
Well, one way to look at it is that it would be very good to have a theory that provides a clear explanation of our naturally evolved moral inclinations. Such a theory might be extended to work on trickier cases, helping us figure out what to do, when our intuitions are unclear.
The analogy is mathematics, of course. We naturally evolved as creatures that can count, reason gemoetrically, etc. The study of mathematics has allowed us to apply these naturally evolved capacities into much more varied situations.
Starting with our natural moral sense and developing a theory that can consistently explain that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It could in fact be very useful, if the mathematical analogy "works".
Anyway thanks for linking to the article it is very interesting and opened up a lot of new ideas to me I hadn't encountered before!

I wanted to second Brandon's concerns--that Kant would likely welcome findings that showed Kantian moral judgments to track emotional responses.
But a further point (and maybe Greene deals with this): Kant claims that we are beings who, by virtue of being rational, have a certain moral incentive. This incentive is emotional, in some sense--we respond to rational concerns because we experience them as superceding other concerns (this is Kant's point about respect as the moral incentive). The difference between moral and immoral maxims, for Kant, is not that the latter involve emotions and the former do not, since without some affective pull on the side of pure reason, it would have no motivating force for us.
So really, to experimentally distinguish between Kantian and non-Kantian moral thinking, we'd need to figure out precisely which part of the brain processes respect, and which part of the brain processes other motivational states. And that would seem to require a kind of reductive naturalism that would a priori rule out Kantian morality as anything more than evolutionarily programmed emotional responses.
Do meta-ethical questions like this really lend themselves to experimental testing?

haha but utilitarian texts are so much more worth stealing! for the good of humanity of course :)
As to the main point I have a lot of sympathy for the position.
One of my basic theories of philosophy is that if it matches "intuition" I should be very suspicious of it. And if I find myself biting a bullet it means I have probably weighed the pros and cons fairly well.

BTW I think I am genetically predisposed towards being utilitarian or if not just a plain every day enabler. So maybe some people just tend to be both vegetarian AND utilitarian rather than there being a strong causal relationship (things that might go with this is being collectivist and empathic).

kantians= post hoc rationalizations guided by rules, norms...
utlitarians= in practical rterms act or do always what provide yu with the most favourbale or greatest return.
Kantians are mapped in the brain in areas such as hippocampus or ACC (an area associated with detection of erros[ a deviation form a rule or norm])On the other hand utilitarians are mapped in the brain in the frontal cortex an are that integrates many input form the rest of the brain and is associated with utility calculations
I think what Greene tries to dmonstrate is that kantians by means of evolution have "internalized" emotions as reasons only that they operate not as concurrent gut-feelings but as less vivid and rationalized gut-feelings

Wow, what a thoughtful set of comments this post has provoked!
Brad: Your criticism is very interesting. I'd be curious to see how Greene would address it. I think it would be better to stay away, though, from the case of lying to murderer at the door and try to come up instead with a case that more deontologists can agree on that diverges from our commonsense judgment. Hm, but what case would that be? If there are no cases where mainstream deontologists generally go against folk intuition, then Greene's point may still stand.
Kenf: The analogy to mathematics is a nice one. Greene might argue that what we are responsive to and extend through reasoning in the mathematics case, though, has some independent validity (what validity, exactly, is a tough issue in philosophy of math!) while what we are responsive to in our moral emotions and extend through reasoning has only limited value and validity -- except perhaps something very general like an aversion to seeing others harmed, which we then extend through consequentialist reasoning.

Hi Roman! It doesn't seem like you post as much as you used to....
I agree that Kant doesn't want to separate emotion and moral reasoning, so *if* emotional areas in the brain are highly active when the Kantian reflects, that in itself doesn't make Greene's case. Kantians might simply be, as you point out, feeling respect, or they might be filled with passionate awe at the beauty of the moral law. So the more striking aspect of Greene's results is that the deontological reasoning seems to be associated with less activity in the reasoning areas and with quicker reaction times suggesting that not only is there more emotion but there is less reasoning. This I'm not as sure a naturalistic, 21st century Kantian with no reason to expect harmony between automatic emotional judgments and the moral right should happily accede.
Genius: I see your point about being suspicious about what is intuitive -- because maybe, then, it's not really grounded in philosophical reasoning! But then it might be hard to justify a metaphilosophy that stands intuition and "reflective equilibrium" near the center of philosophical method. Where would ethics (or metaphysics, or logic) go if somewhere down the line our judgments weren't tacked down in "intuition"?

I don't know, Anibal. In this essay at least, Greene emphasizes emotion-related areas more than the areas you mention. I'm also not sure that he thinks the emotions in Kantians are tamped down due to their reasoning. Are you getting this from another essay of his, maybe? Or am I missing something in this essay?

That is OK with me - just as long as it is a long long way down the line. ... like 1+1=2 is down the line from quantum mechanics.

Hi Eric,
Yes, I haven't been posting much because that pesky dissertation has been keeping me busy.
Greene's results are certainly interesting, and I agree that they could be a serious concern for some contemporary Kantians. But as a sort-of Kantian myself (not a naturalistic one, though), I always want to take things back to Kant--and it is Kant, and not just contemporary Kantians, that Greene takes himself to be attacking. So just one point in that regard:
Kant differs fundamentally from the British empiricists and utilitarians in his conception of reason. And in his moral philosophy especially he is very skeptical of the empiricist conception of reason, i.e., as a mere faculty of inferring from given data (such as desires) to conclusions (maxims). Kant stresses the human tendency to provide rationalizations for what we want (and to make excuses for ourselves) and he offers the categorical imperative--as he says--not as a decision procedure, but primarily as a corrective to that rationalizing tendency. He thinks, in fact, that we generally know what the right thing to do it (or, at least, what the right principle is, though there is no set procedure for deducing specific actions from that principle). And the big problem, from his standpoint, is that people abuse reason and employ it as a rationalizing tool against what they already know to be right.
So Greene's results (and I confess I haven't had the time to read his paper in detail) might be taken as ones Kant would appreciate seeing: they show that consequentialists tend to use the calculative capacity of reason more than deontologists. But this could just be because they are struggling more to rationalize conclusions that, as moral beings, they know to be wrong. It may seem like the parts of the brain involved in reasoning are less active in deontologists. But of course this could just be because those are the parts of the brain involved in calculation and rationalization; the part of the brain involved in what might be called the constitutive aim of reason might just be the emotional part.
Sorry about the tangent.

Eric, perhpas is my own idiosyncratic reading of the essay, but let me quote Greene himself: page 2 "i will argue that deontological judgements tend to be driven by emotional responses and that deontological philosophy rather than being grounded in moral reasoning, is to a large extent an exercise in moral rationalization" i would like to empashize his latests words moral rationalization
Based in his model of the dualistic properties of the mind (in rough manner emotion VS cognition) as a psychological kinds or natural kinds instantiated in our brains, he defends the idea that primarily emotion responses are those specifically tuned to moral decision and behaviour. In this sense, kantians operate according to his model with emotional responses, only that this kind of moral creature after emotional responses rationalize "emotions2 converting them in rules, norms, rights embeddded in what i suggest brain areas such as the hippocampus or brain areas which store permanent information and detect cogntive error to that stored information (ACC) But i know that these brain areas are not mention widely in the text.
As i see Greene, Greene is a modern-way and sohisticated type of utilitarian, that tries to subsume rivals.

Genius: That makes sense, I suppose -- at least if the 1+1=2 intuitions are much more solid and immovable than the later-down-the-road intuitions.
Roman: I agree that there are passages in Kant that warn against the abuse of reason for the purposes of rationalization; and there's his famous delight at a critic's complaint that nothing he says overturns the ordinary view. But do you think Kant really would have thought (if this is what you're implying) that intellectual reasoning about moral problems would tend to lead away from the moral truth -- or at least toward consequentialist conclusions and thus away from the away from the truth in those sorts of cases?
Anibal: Yes, I agree with your characterization of Greene's characterization of Kantians (though his emphasis is on different brain areas, as you mention); and as you mention in your earlier comment, he thinks utiliarians do it differently. I think, though, that there's a further point you're making that I'm still not getting....

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The University of Michigan Health System has earned a $9.1 million core grant from the National Institutes of Health to improve disease diagnosis through metabolic profiling.
With the support, the U-M will create the Michigan Regional Comprehensive Metabolomics Research Core, one of only three centers in the country that will help researchers examine small molecules called metabolites to detect changes in cell behavior and organ function.
The sum of all metabolites at any given moment -- the metabolome -- is a form of chemical readout of the state of health of the cell or body and provides a wealth of information about nutrition, infection, health and disease status.
From diagnosis to disease follow-up, metabolomics may transform the ability to understand the mechanisms underlying disease and help investigators develop new strategies for treatment.
"Physicians and scientists around the world are beginning to realize that metabolic profiling will have a significant impact on the diagnosis, prevention and monitoring of many diseases," says Charles Burant, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Michigan Metabolomics and Obesity Center, and the Dr. Robert C. and Veronica Atkins Professor of Metabolism at the U-M.
Burant who is experienced in metabolomics, diabetes and obesity research is the principal investigator of the grant, with Stephen Brown, Ph.D., serving as program coordinator of the new regional metabolomics research core.
Several University of Michigan investigators will lead additional components of the core including Robert Kennedy, Ph.D., Hobart H. Willard Professor of Chemistry; Subramanian Pennathur, M.B.B.S., associate professor of internal medicine; Brian Athey, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics; Naisyn Wang, Ph.D., professor of statistics, and Barbara Mirel, Ph.D., associate research scientist at the School of Education. Grace Wu will serve as administrator.
Agilent Technologies and Human Metabolome Technologies will partner with the U-M on metabolic profiling instruments and software that can measure hundreds to thousands of unique metabolites.
It's hoped metabolomics will provide a path to personalized medicine, by offering insights into detection, prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes based on a patient's metabolic profile. The U-M's resource core will provide researchers nationwide with the expertise and infrastructure for metabolomics research, in addition to training opportunities.
Over the next five years, the NIH expects to invest more than $51.4 million nationwide to accelerate metabolomics research.
The first round of NIH funding creates the three regional comprehensive metabolomics research cores. Others are at University of California-Davis and Research Triangle Institute in Research Triangle Park, N.C.
"This research initiative includes data-sharing and coordination with other metabolomics centers and researchers to develop standards for quality metabolomics work," says Brown, the program coordinator. "This will be a critical step as the discipline grows."
The NIH Common Fund is taking a comprehensive approach to boosting the field by funding a variety of initiatives, including training, technology development, standards synthesis, and data-sharing capability.
It's a shared goal of the U-M which will vastly enhance its research capacity in metabolomics with a planned expansion to the North Campus Research Complex. The Complex will serve as a hub for metabolomics research on campus, where proximity of metabolomics researchers is expected to enhance collaboration and speed basic research into better patient care.

The only issue I see here is that the game is a single-note affair, and after you finish its six to eight-hour story mode, there isn't much to bring you back into the fold except some unlockable costumes, an "unleashed" difficulty level, and the promise of some DLC in the near future. For some, that could be an issue, as a $60 pricetag on an experience that can be completed with a single day seems a little steep. Still, if you were a fan of the first and don't mind the more ridiculous elements of the plot, this one does a good job of earning your $60, especially if you crave single-player focused experiences.
Dispatching enemies is ridiculously easy, and on the game's normal difficulty settings, it is easy to blast through each level using your powers. The game is full of enemies that are weak to one of your powers but can be devastated by another, so often combat is mindless. However, this isn't a bad thing, as the massive scale of carnage you are able to cause is both exciting and delightful, and I was never bored with the action in the game.
Likewise, the game doesn't disappoint on a technical level. Although the level design is strictly linear in most instances, the different planets and locales are rendered in excellent detail, and the game does a great job capturing the feel of the Star Wars universe. The audio in the game is equally impressive, with a sweeping original score and some outstanding performances from the voice cast.
The Force Unleased II is a good game. However, I would be hesitant to call it a good Star Wars game. The original Force Unleashed did a good job building on Star Wars' mythos in a way that was interesting but non-intrusive. It presented a simple story that featured plenty of thematic elements seen in both the original and prequel trilogy. However, the follow-up just doesn't capture the original's spirit, and that is what ultimately holds this title back from being something great. The action may have been amped up, the cameos may be even more surprising, but the clone-focused plotline just doesn't do enough to live up to its predecessor's legacy. Sure, the game is fun. But it could have been meaningful too.

Delphi CEO "Steve" Miller whipped a union-busting hardball at the UAW's head — revising downward his offer to slash the pay and benefits of Delphi workers in exchange for the company's survival. Miller opened negotiations with the Union by cutting a prior starting-pay offer from $10-$12 to $9 along with significant cuts in benefits and paid vacation time. The UAW's official silence in the face of the Miller's latest offer is likely temporary — considering they already voiced institutional objections to the prior offer. A strike is inevitable.

OSLO (Reuters) - More than a third of South Sudan's population, or 4 million people, will be on the brink of starvation by the end of 2014 as fighting rages in the world's newest country, U.N. officials said on Tuesday.
"We are losing time. Farmers should be planting their crops right now," United Nations' aid chief Valerie Amos told a donors' conference in Oslo. "If they don't, and if livestock herders are not able to migrate to grazing areas, people will run out of food."
Clashes between rebels and government forces have wrecked food markets and forced people to abandon livestock and land.
The U.N. has estimated that $1.8 billion in aid is needed for South Sudan, more than the $1.3 billion previously estimated. Donors including the United States, Britain and Norway have agreed to give more than $600 million on top of $536 million already pledged.
USAID Assistant Administrator Nancy Lindborg urged South Sudan's leaders to make sure aid reaches people in need. "All the money in the world is not going to make a difference if we can't reach people," she said.
Violence erupted in the oil-producing country in December after a long power struggle between President Salva Kiir and his former deputy Riek Machar.
Kiir told the BBC in an interview first broadcast on Monday that "the civilian population is going to face one of the worst famines that has ever been witnessed in South Sudan" and appealed to Machar for an end to the conflict.
"We have to stop this fighting so that we save the people's lives," Kiir said, adding that aid must reach civilians.
Thousands have died in the violence, often pitting Kiir's Dinka people against Machar's Nuer.
The two men, under regional and Western pressure, signed a ceasefire agreement earlier this month. Like the first deal in January, it quickly broke down, and World Food Programme's assistant executive director Elisabeth Rasmusson told Reuters she had reports of clashes in Malakal on Monday night.
Malakal is capital of one of South Sudan's main oil producing regions.
"We think that by the end of the year, 1.5 million will be internally displaced, 850,000 will be refugees and 4 million on the edge of starvation," Toby Lanzer, the U.N.'s humanitarian coordinator in South Sudan, said on the conference sidelines.
South Sudan became independent from Sudan in 2011. Fighting has curbed oil production, which is crucial for its economy.
It has also disrupted planting of sorghum, maize and groundnuts and forced herders to abandon their animals or lead them to areas where grazing is poor.
"All this puts tremendous pressure on livelihoods," said Lanzer. "The biggest message I am getting from South Sudanese is 'give me one month of peace so I can plant and I could look after my livestock'," he said.
Ethiopian, Kenyan and Ugandan traders responsible for a large amount of trade in markets have also fled, he said.
