1 The Unity of the Right and the Good in John Rawls s Thought This symposium is on the Legacy of John Rawls, but, in a way, my own contribution concerns the legacy that Rawls did not have. Part Three of A Theory of Justice, in which Rawls s theory of the good is found, contains some of Rawls s most profound and powerful work. There Rawls presents a theory of the good, which he calls goodness as rationality. Officially, the theory is first presented to reinforce Rawls s claims about the nature and role of primary goods, but the way he goes on to develop it enables him to make a case for what he calls congruence more generally, for the harmony of the right and the good; in particular, for the goodness of justice. 1 On the basis of this theory, Rawls develops an account of the good life, or happiness; an account of the good or virtuous person; and an account of the good community or society. On the basis of these ideas, in turn, he is able to argue in a specific and detailed way that justice is a genuine virtue, that a just society will be a good one for those who live in it, and, finally, following in the footsteps of Plato, that being a just person is a good thing for that person. All of these conclusions are modestly presented as contributions to the argument for the stability of Rawls s conception of justice its capacity to generate its own support. But they are obviously also attempts to address some of our deepest skeptical worries about 1 TJ, 2 nd ed., 350.
2 morality and the nature of its demands on us, the same worries that Plato is responding to in the Republic. Nevertheless, these ideas have not had the same kind of impact on the subject that Rawls s more directly political theorizing has had. We might think there is an important reason for this. When Rawls made the turn to what he calls political liberalism, he decided that the theory of justice must be independent of any particular comprehensive conception of the good. A comprehensive conception of the good according to Rawls is a conception of what is of value in human life including such things as ideals of character, ideals of friendship and family relations, and conceptions of what is worth aiming at (PL 13). It is an essential aspect of a liberal society that it does not seek to enforce any particular comprehensive conception of the good, but makes room for all conceptions that can be part of an overlapping consensus on the values of liberal democratic society itself. And of course one of those values is precisely that each person has the right to try to realize her own conception of the good, so long as her actions are consistent with upholding a like right for others. In the Introduction to Political Liberalism, Rawls tells us that the argument of Part III of A Theory of Justice is inconsistent with the rest of the book, because it presents justice as fairness (as Rawls called his own theory) as grounded in a comprehensive conception of the good which he thinks would come to be shared by all members of society. He tells us that this makes the account of stability there unrealistic (PL xix), because in a liberal society we should expect reasonable pluralism that is, we should expect - 2 -
3 that many different comprehensive conceptions of the good will thrive. So we might think that the doctrines of Part III of A Theory of Justice must be rejected in Rawls s mature view. Actually, it is not as clear as it might be which elements of the argument of Part III must be considered as parts of, or dependent upon, a comprehensive doctrine and which are sufficiently formal to be considered as characterizing any reasonable comprehensive view. Or, to put it in Rawls s terms, it s not clear which ideas of the good can be rendered appropriately political and distinct from the parallel ideas in more extensive views (PL xxi). It is clear from Political Liberalism that Rawls thinks that the basic idea of goodness as rationality survives in political liberalism, and that political versions of his account of the virtues and of the good society can be articulated. 2 But my project in this paper will not require me to take on questions about which elements of Rawls s theory of the good can be part of political liberalism, for two reasons. First, even if elements of Rawls s theory of the good do belong more properly to a comprehensive conception, that is not a reason for philosophers to ignore his theory. Comprehensive conceptions are legitimate objects of philosophical attention, even if it is not legitimate to enforce them in a liberal democracy. Second, I want to discuss a somewhat different kind of congruence between the right and the good than the very substantive congruence that Rawls 2 PL Lecture V
4 himself argues for in Theory of Justice. This is a more formal kind of congruence that Rawls s basic philosophical account of the good makes possible. I am interested in this kind of congruence because I think it invites a reconstruction of the way we conceive the relationship between the right and the good. I. A Puzzle about the Good I will begin by discussing something puzzling about our use of the concept good that I have been thinking about lately. 3 The term good is used in two broadly different ways. First, good is our most general term of evaluation, a term we apply to nearly every kind of thing, or at least every kind of thing for which we have any use, or interact with. We evaluate many different kinds of things as good or bad: tools, machines, and instruments; food, weather, and days; prose, movies, and pictures; people considered as occupying roles such as mother, teacher, or friend; and people considered just as people, among many other things. As philosophers ever since Plato and Aristotle have pointed out, this kind of evaluation is usually related to a thing s function that is, to the purpose or role of the entity that is judged good or bad. An entity is good in the evaluative sense when it has the properties that enable it to serve its function either its usual or natural function, or 3 I discuss the puzzle in The Origin of the Good and Our Animal Nature (forthcoming in Problems of Goodness: New Essays on Metaethics, edited by Bastian Reichardt) and The Relational Nature of the Good (forthcoming from Oxford University Press in Oxford Studies in Metaethics, Volume 8, edited by Russ Shafer- Landau)
5 one that we have assigned to it for some specific purpose. I will call that the evaluative sense of the good. I call good in the second sense in which we use the term the final sense of good, borrowing one translation for the Greek telos. We suppose that something we call The Good is the end or aim of all our strivings. Or we might say it is the crown of their success, to leave it open whether the good is something that we aim at directly or something that comes to us as the result of our striving for other things. Many philosophers suppose there is a summum bonum, a state of affairs that is desirable or valuable or worthy of choice or achievement for its own sake, or at any rate not for the sake of anything else. In one sense of the words good for we are talking about a person s final good when we speak of what is good for that person. 4 When we use the words good for in this way, we mean that the things that are good or bad for a person are things that have an impact on his final good. Philosophers - Rawls included - like to talk about the human good, a phrase which suggests many interesting things: that at some level of generality, the same thing is good for all human beings; that the good for a thing is relative to its specific nature; and that the other animals therefore have a good of their own, relative to their own specific nature, and different from ours. 4 The other sense of good for that I have in mind essentially means healthy. I discuss this notion and its relation to the final sense of good for in On Having a Good, forthcoming in Philosophy: The Journal of the Royal Institute of Philosophy
6 The puzzle I have in mind is this: what is the relation between the evaluative and the final sense of good? Why do we use the same word as a general term of positive evaluation, and to designate the state that is the end and aim of all our strivings? I think that most people do not find this puzzling because they think that the answer is obvious. They think that when we talk about someone s final good we are still using the term evaluatively: we are evaluating the person s life, saying whether he had a good life in the evaluative sense. I don t mean we are evaluating it morally that would be an evaluation of the person himself. Rather, we are evaluating something about how the life goes and the circumstances in which it is lived. But that is what is puzzling. How can a life and its circumstances be a proper subject of evaluation? Ordinarily, as I mentioned earlier, we evaluate things by asking whether they have the properties that enable them to perform their function well, but a person s life and circumstances, considered just as such, do not seem to have a function. If we ask whether, say, a watch is good, we are asking whether it has the properties that enable watches to perform their function well: whether it keeps time, is easy to read and comfortable to wear. But when we ask whether a person s life is good, we do not seem to be asking anything except perhaps whether the person whose life it is achieves the summum bonum, that thing we call The Good. This becomes particularly obvious if we want to leave open the possibility that the human good is something that is in a certain way external to life itself the way it is on some conceptions of, say, nirvana, or salvation. In that case, the Good is not - 6 -
7 even the goodness of life, but something else that life makes possible. People who believe in such final goods do believe that human life has a purpose but that purpose seems to be to enable us to achieve The Good. But then what are we evaluating when we talk about The Good? One might be tempted to answer that we are evaluating possible ends: things we might pursue for their own sake. But then what is the function of an end? If we evaluate things by seeing how well they serve their function, ends seem particularly resistant to evaluation, for to say that something is a final end seems precisely to say that it has no function that it is not for anything else. So if it is not its function, what makes something fit to be an end? One surprisingly popular answer is that an end must be intrinsically good. But of course that answer sends us right around in a circle. In virtue of what is the end intrinsically good? We cannot just say in virtue of its intrinsic properties because we can surely still ask what it is about its intrinsic properties that makes it good. And since an end does not have a function, it is very unclear how we would go about answering this question Here are a couple of more things that will not help. G. E. Moore would deny one of the claims I just made, namely, that we can still ask what it is about its intrinsic properties that makes an end good. He thinks we cannot ask that, or at any rate, that we cannot answer it when the elements in a state of affairs come together in a certain way, not further specifiable, then the state of affairs is good. This we are supposed to know by intuition. Besides all the many other problems with this - 7 -
8 response, it does not speak to the difficulty, because Moore does not tell us what it is that we know by intuition. I was asking, roughly speaking, what it means to say of an end that it is good, given that it apparently cannot mean that the end serves its function well. Moore of course thinks that good is indefinable, so we cannot exactly ask what it means, but still there must be something to say about how we use the word, and that something must explain why we use the word in both of these ways. Now of course what I just said is an invitation to friends of the idea that good is used in so- called non- cognitive ways, who will now tell us that they can solve the problem. To say that something is good is to commend it or recommend it as worthy of choice, or anyway worthy of doing something about reading it, if it's a book, looking at it, if it's a painting, choosing it for its own sake, if its an end, and so forth. To say a car is good is to recommend it as a means to someone who needs to go places, and to say that having friends or appreciating the arts is good is to recommend these things as ends. So the ordinary evaluative use of good and the final use of good have this in common: that when we say things are good in either of these ways we are recommending them. Later, I will agree that something like this is right, but it still does not address the problem. On what grounds are we recommending something, when we recommend it as an end? I think we should find this puzzling
9 2. Rawls and the Puzzle I mention this problem because Rawls s account of the good addresses the puzzle head on. In A Theory of Justice, Rawls argues that our criterion for applying the evaluative notion of good can be extended in a natural way to cover the case of final goods. According to Rawls s theory, to say that something is good is to say that it has the properties that it is rational to want in that kind of thing. Rawls develops his account in stages. At the first stage, we consider the everyday use of the term good. The everyday use presupposes that the person who is doing the wanting wants the thing for the reasons for which people usually wants things of that kind. When we say that a certain make of car is a good one, for example, we mean that it has the properties it is rational to want in a car, given what cars are usually used for, say a safe means of transport for people and their various forms of baggage. A Honda, someone says in general conversation, is a good car, safe and efficient. At the second stage, we relativize the notion to a person s particular circumstances, including any special interests the person might have. As Rawls understands it, this involves relativizing the notion to the person s plan of life. Given that a certain person must spend a lot of time traveling and essentially lives out of his car, a minivan, we say, is a good car for him. Notice that at this point, the special status of primary goods falls out of the theory pretty much by definition: they are - 9 -
10 things that it is rational to want whatever else you want, that is, relativized to anyone s life plan. So they are good for anyone. At the third stage, we add that the person s plan of life is itself rational. After all, it seems clear enough that we should not say something is good for you that is, rational for you to want just because it fits well with your plans, if your plans themselves are irrational. This move requires Rawls to define what rationality means for plans of life. He offers a two- part account of this. First of all, your plan of life must be one of the plans open to you that is consistent with the principles of rational choice. Second, of those plans, it is the one that would be chosen by you with what Rawls calls full deliberative rationality. Let me briefly say what this means. Rawls mentions three principles of rational choice. The first is a principle of effective means: your plan must effectively promote your ends. The second, rather surprising, principle directs us to prefer more inclusive plans. If one plan effectively promotes ends A through F and another effectively promotes A though F and also G, you should choose the second plan. What makes this principle surprising is that the additional end G need not be among the things you already, independently, wanted: rather, the principle tells us that it is rational to want more different ends or, as Rawls puts it, to prefer the development of wider and more varied interests if we can equally well achieve the additional ends this brings. Rawls defends this by appeal to an important psychological principle he calls the Aristotelian principle, according to which
11 human beings enjoy the exercise of our realized capacities. 5 A third principle Rawls mentions is that of greater likelihood: if one plan is more likely to achieve several of the ends it includes and not less likely to achieve others, it is to be preferred. These principles, Rawls thinks, will not single out any plan as the most rational. For that, we must add that the plan is the one that would be chosen with full deliberative rationality, which Rawls defines this way: It is the plan that would be decided upon as the outcome of careful reflection in which the agent reviewed, in the light of all the relevant facts, what it would be like to carry out these plans and thereby ascertained the course of action that would best realize his most fundamental desires. (TJ 417) Deliberative rationality is a way of uncovering what we care about most, by imagining what it would be like to lead the lives that are open to us. There is of course a great deal that one could question about all this. Rawls does not give any argument for his principles of rational choice. He thinks they are fairly intuitive as principles governing short- term plans and can be defended as principles governing plans for a whole life. The defenses he gives sometimes depend on empirical claims about human psychology, such as his claims about the Aristotelian principle, which he says gives us a higher- order desire to follow the principle of inclusiveness (TJ 1 st ed. 414). He does not offer to derive these principles from some more general account of what rationality is. Instead he proposes that 5 Rawls also appeals to the idea that our happiness depends on the proportion of our aims that are realized; this proportion is likely to go up if we effectively pursue a more varied plan
12 I m quoting now these principles are to be given by enumeration so that eventually they replace the concept of rationality (TJ 1 st ed. 411; my emphasis). The principles of rational choice and the principle of deliberative rationality, he tells us, are not, like the principles of justice, chosen or to put it in later terms, they are not constructed. This is not because the account of the good is dogmatic, but rather because it is not: for political purposes, at least, Rawls points out, there is no need for all of us to agree on what exactly constitutes rational choice, because we need not all have the same conception of the good. So there is no need for all of us to agree on what the principles of rational choice are. 6 Of course, if we are viewing Rawls s conception of the good as part of a comprehensive conception, all of this is a little unsatisfactory. A familiar account of the good as the maximal satisfaction of desire seems to be behind it, supplemented by the consequences of the Aristotelian principle. Indeed Rawls seems to admit as much when he says this: To be sure, there is one formal principle that seems to provide a general answer. [He means to the question which plan is the best.] This is the principle to adopt that plan which maximizes the expected net balance of satisfaction. But this principle fails to provide us with an explicit procedure for 6 This is one of the moments at which the account of the good in TJ is unstable: if Rawls is spelling out a comprehensive conception of the good here, this point is out of place. And the ideas spelled out so far certainly look like parts of a comprehensive conception, especially the principle of inclusiveness: we can imagine a reasonable conception of the good life that does not involve having varied interests. More importantly, the idea that maximizing has any place in practical thought is controversial. We could say that all conceptions of the good share the idea of doing as much as you can of what you take to be most important but then that leaves it open that one most important thing swamps everything else; the principle is nearly tautological in that form
13 making up our minds. It is clearly left to the agent himself to decide what it is he most wants and to judge the comparative importance of his several ends. (TJ 416) Rawls here seems to suggest that the trouble with the principle of maximizing satisfaction is not that it is wrong, but rather that it offers no real guidance. Those of you who are inclined to find this aspect of Rawls s theory disappointing will be happy to know that Rawls s arguments for the substantive congruence of goodness and justice in fact don t actually depend much upon it. In particular though I cannot do justice to the argument here Rawls argues that a just society is good because it is what he calls a social union of social unions, in which justice makes it possible for everyone to identify with the achievements of their culture. The argument that this is good for the citizens depends primarily on the Aristotelian principle, rather than on the more familiar features of the story about maximizing satisfaction. 7 The social unity created by justice enables us to claim a vicarious share in the development of our fellow citizens talents and powers, and this helps to satisfy our own higher order desire for personal development. 7 In The Myth of Egoism, (Essay 3 in The Constitution of Agency) and again in Self- Constitution ( 3.3 and 8.3.3) I argue that the story about maximizing satisfaction makes very little sense. In a nutshell, the argument is that the idea of maximizing subjective satisfaction is insane, while objective satisfaction is not the sort of thing to which the idea of maximizing has any clear application. In making this argument the maximizing satisfaction is insane, I make use of an example I borrowed from Rawls s lectures, in which someone seeking subjective satisfaction chooses the delusion that the end he cares most about has been realized over the reality. The point about objective satisfaction is the one I made in the footnote above: doing as much as you can of what you take to be most important might involve giving priority to what is important much more than it does achieving as many ends as possible
14 My own purpose in mentioning all this to draw your attention to the way that Rawls s account enables him to address the puzzle I started out from. In ordinary cases, the idea of something s being rational to want captures the same content that the idea of something s role or function does, so it captures the evaluative sense of good. Since knives are ordinarily wanted for cutting, a good knife is a sharp one, and if you want a knife for the usual reasons, sharpness is a property it is rational to want in your knife. So instrumental or functional properties, broadly speaking, coincide with the properties it is rational to want. But, with Rawls s idea of a rational life plan in hand, we can extend the idea of rational to want to a person s ends. Earlier, when I asked what the notion of good end might mean, I asked whether ends have a role or a function, and I denied that they do. But in effect, Rawls s move does assign our ends a kind of role or function. Their role or function is to serve as an element in a person s rational plan; and some of them are better than others at playing that role. But there s another way to characterize Rawls s move here that I think is even more important. I have now described the evaluative notion of the good in two different ways: first, as invoking the plain, descriptive idea that something has the properties that enable it to serve its function well; second, as invoking the slightly more normative idea that something has the properties it is rational to want in that kind of thing. The difference between these two ways of thinking of evaluative goodness is that when we think of the object in the slightly more normative sense of
15 being rational to want, we consider its functional properties from the point of view of someone who wants that sort of thing. It is a good thing for him. This enables Rawls to establish a continuity between the evaluative and the final good, since the final good as Rawls conceives it is also characterized from the point of view of the one whose good it is. That is, it is characterized as what it is rational for that person to want, given his rational plan. Although Rawls himself did not emphasize this aspect of his theory, on Rawls s conception, both evaluative and final goodness are relational; they are goodness relative to someone s plan, and therefore goodness for that person. What the final and the evaluative good have in common becomes less mysterious once we see that the notion of something s being good for someone is prior to the notion of something s being good. Notice that this claim goes beyond the claim, made by Peter Geach and others, that good is used, in Geach s terms, attributively rather than predicatively. 8 Geach famously argued that good functions like, say, big, in that you cannot conclude from the fact that something is a big mouse that it is big. Nothing is big simply; big is attributive because it always invokes a standard of comparison. In the same way, Geach thinks that good must always be used in a way that invokes some sort of standard of evaluation. Geach s examples include both things that are good- for in the evaluative or functional sense and things that are good- for in this person- relative or rather creature- relative sense as meeting his 8 Judy Thompson
16 criterion. For instance, he mentions good car and good book but also that Caesar s murder was a bad thing to happen to a living organism but a good fate for a man who wanted divine worship. 9 Rawls s theory has the further implication that everything that is good is good in this second way, good- for somebody, some living creature. Even the conversational use of good implies that the thing is good from the point of view of the average consumer, so to speak, of the thing in question. But Rawls s theory also makes it possible to say that some things are good, simply. Rawls distinguishes the thin theory of the good, which is what I have been laying out so far, from a full theory, in which the good is restricted by the principles of the right. If someone s rational plan of life falls within this restriction, then there seems to be no reason not to say that things that are good for her are good simpliciter. Unfortunately Rawls cannot draw this conclusion in what I at least would regard as the most satisfying way. Earlier I mentioned that Rawls proposes that an enumeration of what he takes to be intuitive principles of rational choice should replace the concept of rationality. It is also true, of course, that Rawls separates the ideas of the reasonable and the rational, where the reasonable involves the willingness to propose and abide by fair terms of cooperation, and the rational is a matter of pursuing our ends intelligently. Somewhat oddly, Rawls traces the distinction to Kant (PL 48fn.) But Rawls does not attempt to derive these two ideas 9 page refs needed
17 from a common source in reason, as Kant does. If we could do that if we could say, as Kant does, that being moral or just is a way of being rational, then we could say that the definition of goodness in terms of the rationality of wanting gives us something like what Geach called a predicative sense of good. Geach and his followers have denied that things like events or states of affairs can be characterized as good simply, without further specification. But on the sort of view I have just described, we could say that a state of affairs is good simply if it is one that it is rational for anyone to want. Rawls however does try to get this conclusion in another way: not by deriving the rational and the reasonable from a common source in reason, but by arguing in terms of the thin theory that justice itself is a good. That makes it rational for all the citizens to want for themselves and their society. 3. Aggregation One of the main targets of the arguments by Geach and others that I have just mentioned is utilitarianism, and I certainly don t mean to suggest that Rawls s theory of the good makes it possible to defend that. On the contrary, the idea that everything that is good must be good for someone blocks utilitarianism, because it blocks the idea of aggregation. What is good for me plus what is good for you is not, taken just like that, good for anyone in particular, and therefore is not good. As Rawls himself famously pointed out, utilitarianism does not take seriously the distinction between persons (TJ 27). This sort of position gives rise to a question of
18 what we are to do with those of our intuitions that seem to favor the idea of aggregation. 10 Aren t there cases in which we plainly choose actions because they do more good, even when more than one person s good is involved? Obviously, I cannot give a complete treatment of this difficult subject here. But it is worth noting that it seems still to be intelligible, consistently with the idea that what is good or bad must be good or bad for someone in particular, to claim that we do more good in two kinds of cases that do involve more than one person. First of all, we can say that we do more good by choosing a course of action that benefits additional subjects, so long as no one is harmed by that course of action. This thought covers the simple case of saving two lives in preference to saving one, for example. Second, it seems intelligible to claim that we do more good by giving a resource to the subject who will benefit from it the most, so long as no one has a prior claim on the resource and so we are not harming the other subjects among whom we are choosing. This thought would cover the case, for example, where we think we do more good by giving a painkiller to the subject who is in the most pain. What most obviously becomes unintelligible on the view that good and bad are always goodness and badness for someone is the idea that we can do more good by balancing the good of one subject against the good of another, say by taking pleasure away from Jack because that way we can give an even greater pleasure to Jill. That is good for Jill but bad for Jack, and if the goodness or badness must be 10 Unless we follow John Taurek s advice and abandon these intuitons. Ref needed
19 goodness or badness for someone, that is all there is to say: there is no one for whom the situation is better overall, and therefore no sense in which it is better. The interesting thing about these points is that they coincide with an idea that plays an important role in Rawls s account of the right, namely, the legitimacy of making moves that are, in economists jargon, Pareto optimal : moves that leave everyone better off and no one worse off. This is the ground on which we move from the first thought that would naturally occur to us in the original position distribute everything equally to the idea that an unequal distribution is preferable if it would make everyone better off. In fact as Rawls points out, every arrangement of the basic structure of society that maximizes the share of primary goods accorded to one of the representative positions in society say for simplicity, the worst off, the middle position, and the best off is Pareto optimal, since we could not move from that position without making the representative person in that position worse off (TJ 71). Now notice that the move from equality to a position that makes someone better off without making anyone worse off is licensed by the first of the two thoughts I mentioned: that it makes sense to aggregate goods across the boundaries between persons when we are just adding goods and not subtracting. And among all the possible Pareto optimal positions, the choice of that of the worst off as the one with respect to which we should maximize is licensed by the second thought I mentioned that when we are distributing a resource to which no one has a prior claim, we do more good by giving it to the one to whom it will do the most
20 good. Thus in both of the two senses of doing more good that remain to a theory of the good that respects the boundaries between persons, the distribution that accords with the difference principle is better that is, it does more good than any other. Two points of warning. First of all, the plausibility of these claims depends on our keeping in view something that Rawls believed the friends of aggregation tend to forget namely, that whether a distribution counts as harming someone is relative to the position in which they begin. You are not made worse off by a way of distributing things simply because there is some other imaginable distribution of things under which you would be better off. In the original position, it is clear what the starting point or benchmark is it is an equal distribution. So those whom a certain distribution will place in the middle and upper ranks cannot claim to be harmed merely by the fact that we decide to maximize with respect to the position of the worst off rather than with respect to those other possible positions. And for the same reason, a distribution that left those who are worst off under it with less than an equal distribution would have done can claim to be harmed by it. It is a theme in Rawls s work that utilitarians tend to reason as if distribution were an act from on high, the act of an administrator trying to maximize the amount of utility he can produce by distributing resources to which no one has a prior claim. As Rawls puts it in Justice as Reciprocity, this image of distribution compares it to that of I m quoting now an entrepreneur deciding how much to produce of this or that

Jason Atherton was credited with turning Maze into the biggest money- spinner in Ramsay's empire.
The 39-year-old chef, who was given a 10 per cent share of the Grosvenor Square restaurant, claims he had an agreement that he would be paid a dividend from the profits but that it was never honoured.
In an interview with Square Meal Lifestyle magazine, to be published next week, the El Bulli-trained chef claimed Ramsay and his then-business partner and father-in-law Chris Hutcheson "broke" their financial arrangement with him.
He accused the pair of not being "truthful" about finances. He said: "We fell out over money. That's it. Plain and simple. I'm sick of hiding it from the media. I was getting a great salary but I had a business deal with Chris and Gordon which they broke and I'm sorry, I can no longer work for someone who was not being truthful to their deal.
"So it was time to set up on my own - my own destiny."
Atherton, who opened his first independent venture Pollen Street Social in April, is still in talks with Gordon Ramsay Holdings about his 10 per cent holding. But the chef said he had nothing but respect for his mentor, calling him "a wonderful cook, a great guy".
He added: "We just couldn't see eye to eye on the way the business was being run so it was time to shake hands and move on. It was no malice.
I wish him all the best. Anything Gordon does he's fantastic with. TV, running restaurants, writing cookery books - he's the best, no two ways about it. With Chris Hutcheson, I think we'll leave the conversation there."
Ramsay was not available for comment, but one source said: "It is well known in the industry that Chris was responsible for the business side of things."
Mr Hutcheson was fired by Ramsay last autumn and has brought an unfair dismissal claim against the chef that is due to be heard by a London tribunal next month.

Anson Caralya is a humble freelance writer whose obsession with the epic rules put him in the book of records for the highest level adventure ever published in Dungeon with the 30th-level "Quicksilver Hourglass." He followed that up with "Requiem of the Shadow Serpent" a bit over a year later, a mid-level Forgotten Realms adventure that grew out of his somewhat less intense obsession with dead magic zones. In appreciation for the excellent job he did cleaning Dr. Pepper stains and Dorito crumbs off the Paizo carpets the last few years, Paizo gave him the opportunity to write a GameMastery module, which allowed him to wallow in his beyond-obsession interest in all things draconic. He is available for your adventure-writing and snack-food-shrapnel-removal needs at very reasonable rates.[1]

By Jim Wyatt, The Tennessean
CINCINNATI Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher disputed some details of a police report that described Vince Young's tumultuous day last Monday, and said he wasn't the person who put forth concerns about the quarterback committing suicide.
Fisher said he's not worried about how Young will react to intense scrutiny, and that it would be good for him to play behind Kerry Collins for a while.
"It's absurd," Fisher said Sunday after the Titans beat the Cincinnati Bengals 24-7. "A lot of the stuff that has been said, a lot of the stuff that's out there, is just wrong. First and foremost, I think it's necessary to address the issue and move on. There's just a lot of incorrect information out there."
Young did not travel with the Titans to Paul Brown Stadium. Young remained in Nashville to continue rehab on his injured left knee.
The police supplement report obtained by numerous media outlets Friday had a number of inaccuracies, Fisher said, including that Young was at LP Field "going off with a gun."
And the coach said it was Young's marketing manager, Mike Mu — not psychologist Sheila Peters — who had concerns about the quarterback contemplating suicide. The police report said Fisher indicated to police that Young "mentioned suicide several times" after talking to Peters.
Police spokesman Don Aaron acknowledged the time listed on the report and the information about Young being at LP Field were incorrect in the initial report.
'Vince was fine'
Before he was injured in the season opener against the Jaguars, Young threw two interceptions, was booed and appeared to refuse to re-enter the game. Later last week, Young admitted he was down in the hours that followed.
Fisher acknowledged that he and Peters spent time with Young at the player's home last Monday, but the coach said everything was fine when he and Peters left.
Later, Mu called and alerted Peters with the news that Young had talked about suicide and left home with a gun in his car. That led to Fisher calling police, and the night ended with Young, Fisher and police meeting around midnight at Baptist Sports Park.
"Vince is not seeing a clinical psychologist because he has mental issues," Fisher said. "(Dr. Peters) is on (Titans) staff. She went to check on him and was there when I was out there, and she left. And Vince was fine."
Fisher said in talking with police later Monday, "I was just reiterating what had been said to Sheila (by Mu). And I stated last week, with the limited information I had, we had to find him. Once I started getting information through the night, I knew there were no issues."
Attempts to reach Mu for comment Sunday were unsuccessful.
'Good experience for him'
Young isn't expected to play any time soon as he recovers from the knee injury, and last week Fisher said Young would have to show progress on all fronts to get his starting job back.
That could be awhile, especially if the Titans keep winning with Collins leading the way.
"I know he wants to play. As soon as he is healthy we'll deal with that," Fisher said. "But I think this is going to be a good experience for him, depending on how long he's out, to sit here and watch Kerry do what Kerry did."
He's never really had an opportunity to do that, to sit behind a veteran and watch a veteran grasp a game plan put it into play during the week and go out and play."

He will be racing as a rookie this year. His bib number is number 57. Matt races for the Happy Trails Kennel which is owned and operated by champion Iditarod musher Martin Buser. Matt is running one of Buser's yearling teams this year. When Matt was in college at Ohio State, he spent his summers in Alaska giving sled dog rides. He began racing in 2008. In 2010, he was given the opportunity to work for Buser and has been there ever since. The Buser family's kennel, Happy Trails, has about 60 dogs. They are more husky than hound and weigh 45-55 pounds. They breed and raise their own dogs. The Buser family comes up with theme names for their dogs. If a litter is born around Christmas time, they all have reindeer names. Some of their dogs' names are: Blitzen, Blondie, Fearless, Ingot, Kira, Melkior, Odo, Riptide, Stream, and Worf. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/sports/2012/03/01/ohioan-set-to-hit-trail.html
http://www.toledoblade.com/MattMarkey/2012/03/18/Ohio-mans-Iditarod.print This... ...is what... ...they bring. Matt uses mostly Buser's equipment but is starting to collect more and more of his own. Although this is Failor's first time doing the Iditarod, he has run Buser's dogs in the Copper Basin 300 and the Knik 200 earlier this year. Failor has about 3,000 miles of training in with his young team. Matt's goals for his and his team's first Iditarod are to learn the course and care for the dogs. He is planning to run steady and slow. He is not trying to win or anything. He just wants to complete his first Iditarod. An interesting fact about Matt Failor is that he is an Eagle Scout. He also had his 30th birthday while out on the trail.

CFTC to examine metals trading
The meeting follows a similar examination of energy markets that began in July 2009 with three public meetings and culminated in a proposal by the CFTC in January 2010 to impose position limits on certain energy contracts.
During the meetings last summer, CFTC chairman Gary Gensler said the commission intended to look at the need to set federal position limits on trading in all commodities of finite supply.

in: FEATURED, HEALTHOMG, LATEST ARTICLES, OMG!
By now, it is a familiar litany. Study after study suggests that alcohol in moderation may promote heart health and even ward off diabetes and dementia. The evidence is so plentiful that some experts consider moderate drinking — about one drink a day for women, about two for men — a central component of a healthy lifestyle.
But what if it's all a big mistake?
For some scientists, the question will not go away. No study, these critics say, has ever proved a causal relationship between moderate drinking and lower risk of death — only that the two often go together.
Government guidelines state that men and women should not consume more than 21 or 14 alcoholic drinks each week. Yet the Million Women study reported that just one drink a week increases your risk of breast, pharynx and liver cancer.
This means that drinkers, no matter how moderate their consumption, are not fully aware of the risks or damage, as the science is not there.
In fact, many drinkers believe they are improving their health.
"It's an absolute myth that red wine is good for you," says Professor Valerie Beral from the University of Oxford and lead author of the Million Women study.
From the Reddy Wellness Center, Cardiologist, Dr. Kota J. Reddy, says, "Moderate drinkers of alcohol can sometimes develop an increase in appetite, but for people who drink more than what is considered a 'safe' intake of alcohol, the opposite occurs. In fact, alcohol causes damage to every single bodily organ and increases this risk of developing several diseases."
It may be that moderate drinking is just something healthy people tend to do, not something that makes people healthy.

Green Amethyst Silver Pendant
The Harley Gallery
Sheffield based jeweller Adele Taylor takes inspiration from objects gathered from the world around her, this pendant combines hand modelled silver with a delicate, textured green amethyst.
"I am an obsessive hoarder. I pick up interesting objects usually because of their texture, (I always have pockets full of rubbish) from rusting washers, to bits of broken car indicator plastic. I then cast parts of these objects in silver and 18ct gold to create a piece of jewellery or as a part of a small scale object, such as a tiny flower vase just big enough for a single daisy."

Chain length: approximately 40cm

By Peter Andrew – ConservativeAmerican.org – Built in Awesome. It's what we do.
Even now, with millions losing the health plan they liked and could afford, will people listen when we talk about what else will go wrong because of Obamacare? Okay folks, if you will listen, here's another one we know:
The Obamacare Nightmare will lead to healthcare rationing in the United States.
Just more than 4 years ago, Shikha Dalmia wrote for Forbes that this was yet another of President Obama's BIG LIES about healthcare.
She wrote…
"Obama has been insisting, including during his ABC Town Hall event last week, that the rationing patients would face under a government-run system wouldn't be any more draconian than what they currently confront under private plans. This is complete nonsense. The left has been trying to address fears of rationing by trotting out an old and tired trope, namely, that rationing is an inescapable fact of life because every system rations whether by price or fiat. But there is a big difference between the two. If I can't afford caviar and champagne every night, any rationing involved is metaphoric, not real. Genuine rationing occurs when someone else controls access–how much of a particular good I can consume. By that token, Obama's stimulus bill has set in motion rationing on a scale unimaginable in the land of the free. Indeed, the bill commits over $1 billion to conduct comparative effectiveness research that will evaluate the relative merits of various treatments. That in itself wouldn't be so objectionable–if it weren't for the fact that a board will then "direct financing" toward approved, standardized treatments. In short, doctors will find it much harder to prescribe newer or non-standard treatments not yet deemed effective by health care bureaucrats. This is exactly along the lines of the British system, where breast cancer patients were denied Herceptin, a new miracle drug, until enraged women fought back. Even the much-vilified managed care plans would appear to be a paragon of generosity in comparison with this."
This isn't your father's Olds-healthcare-mobile. For that matter, this isn't your father's old-America either.

Our signal generators feature industry leading technologies and are setting standards worldwide.
Simone Ache, Product Manager|
Rohde & Schwarz
Synopsys and Rohde & Schwarz are working together to accelerate the design and verification of chipsets and handsets as well as base stations that serve the next-generation LTE and LTE-Advanced standards. Synopsys contributes its strength in algorithm design and verification solutions, including standard-compliant reference libraries, while Rohde & Schwarz contributes its signal generation expertise and proven test and measurement solutions that are used worldwide in research and development, verification, production and service. The joint solution bridges the gap between system design and hardware prototype verification.
For more information, see the FAQ and Fact Sheet.
The validated Synopsys LTE library will be available in June 2011. This release will also include the initial version of LTE-Advanced. The automatic signal generator configuration will be available to select customers in June 2011 with general availability expected in October 2011.
For further information on Rohde & Schwarz test and measurement solutions visit: https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/us/products/test-measurement/overview_1/test-measurement_229579.html
For further information on the Synopsys algorithm design solutions, SPW and System Studio, as well as the LTE library, visit http://www.synopsys.com/dsp.
Synopsys' LTE Library for the System Studio and SPW algorithm design tools includes models of the transmitter and the physical channel as defined in the standard, as well as functional models of ideal receivers that can serve as references. The library provides an end-to-end simulation chain for both uplink and downlink transmission and reception. Through the collaboration, Synopsys' LTE library, including the upcoming LTE-Advanced enhancements, are verified against Rohde & Schwarz's test and measurement solutions, greatly increasing design confidence for algorithm designers needing to achieve standards compliance. Starting with signal generators, Rohde & Schwarz test equipment will be able to automatically derive their configuration from the Synopsys simulation setup. Since typical configurations consist of more than 100 parameters, this integration significantly reduces the time to a correct setup. It also reduces the risk of configuration inconsistencies that often result in losing days of system integration time in the lab.
Tell me more about Rohde & Schwarz signal generators and the Synopsys LTE solution.

The Asparagus Club was founded in 1909 to generate a spirit of cooperation and fellowship among members of the grocery industry. It is affiliated with the National Grocers Association and has sought to unite all segments of the grocery industry— retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, and state and national trade association executives.
The purpose of the scholarship is to enhance the future of the grocery industry by investing in the education of young people who are pursuing a career in the industry, especially the independent community-focused retail and wholesale sector. The grocery industry is the world's largest industry, employing three out of every ten people who work in the United States. The three major areas of food distribution are retailing, wholesaling and processing/manufacturing. The wide selection of challenging career opportunities offered in the grocery industry include supermarket management and ownership, convenience store management, advertising and public relations, computer technology, food safety, consumer affairs, food plant management, purchasing management, financial planning and traffic management.
Each year, subject to availability of funds, up to ten scholarships are awarded to rising full time juniors, seniors or graduate students pursuing a degree in business, food management or another relevant course of study leading to a career in the grocery industry, with preference given to the independent retail and wholesale sector.
Each scholarship award is $2,000 per semester (Fall and Spring only) for a maximum of four semesters. Each year, the student deemed to be the most meritorious by the Scholarship Advisory Committee will be chosen as the Thomas K. Zaucha Asparagus Club Scholar and will receive an extra $500 per semester in the first year of his/her scholarship award.
Scholarship awards shall be used toward the following, in order of priority: tuition and fees; books and supplies; room and board; and commuting expenses up to $50 per month.
In addition to submitting the Common Application, applicants must submit the following:
- Transcript
- Personal Statement
- Resume
- Two letters of recommendation from professors who can speak to the applicant's pursuit of a career in the grocery industry and from a professional in the industry who can speak to the applicant's interest and experience.
Applications must be submitted online by April 30. All applicants will be notified of the Committee's decisions within two months of the due date.
To maintain the scholarship, each recipient must maintain full-time status as an undergraduate or graduate student and must earn a minimum 2.5 GPA per semester/quarter. Students must provide an official transcript and proof of full-time enrollment every semester to receive payment.

Mayhem # 2203338
About MeI'm a 27 year old college grad living in Phoenix. I've got a professional full-time job, but I'm interested in getting into modeling as a part time hobby. I love photography and modeling and have for a long time, but am finally now really trying to get into it.
My experience is very limited so far, but I am willing to try just about anything. I would love to pose with another model or two, so if anyone is looking to add a male model to any of their shoots, please let me know.
My goals are very modest, I do not plan to make any kind of career with modeling. I just want to have fun and help out some other models and photographers along the way. I've created this profile on Model Mayhem to help get my name out there to meet more models and photographers and make some beautiful images!

Former NFL defensive end Robert Eddins was reportedly found dead inside his home in Detroit along with another man, per Fox 2.
"There's at least one if not more individuals that just committed a double murder," said Capt. Kurt Worboys, Detroit police.
According to the report, a gas stove was left on inside the home, leaving investigators with the idea that it was part of a coverup. There were no signs of forced entry, per the report.
"All they know is they went out last night," Bridget Eddins said. "There isn't a car here. There's nothing here. That's his dad's truck. He came here and found him. That's all we know, dead in the basement. Shot."
Eddins, 28, played one game for the Buffalo Bills and played college football at Ball State.
