Is Consequentialism Inescapable? (Part Two)
Philip Pettit
This series of posts is looking at the arguments in Philip Pettit's paper "The Inescapability of Consequentialism". Part one set out the core features of consequentialism and non-consequentialism (as Pettit sees them). I offer only the briefest of summaries here.
Consequentialism holds that the right alternative in any choice is a promotional function of the agent-neutral good. Non-consequentialism rejects this thesis, most commonly by imposing a set of constraints on action that do not require the promotion of the good. The long-standing debate in normative theory concerns which of these two approaches is correct. Cases can be constructed in which non-consequentialism seems right; but cases can also be constructed in which consequentialism seems right. Where does this leave us?
Pettit suggests it leaves us in a stalemate. His inescapability argument attempts to break that stalemate by reorienting our perspective on the theories. The inescapability argument suggests that, at a certain level of analysis, one cannot avoid consequentialist reasoning. I'm going to discuss the argument in four sections. First, I'll offer my own formal reconstruction of the argument. Then, I'll look at three objections to the argument addressed by Pettit.
1. The Inescapability Argument
As mentioned in part one, non-consequentialism adopts a partial and agent-centred account of moral assessment. For the non-consequentialist it really matters whether you are the agent performing an action or not. Thus, although the non-consequentialist can recognise the fact that, sometimes, the death of one person leads to greater overall good, they cannot sanction taking active steps to kill that person. Instead, they draw a distinction between killing and letting die, the former being impermissible and the latter being permissible. In this manner, non-consequentialism incorporates an identity-dependence criterion for moral assessment.
The key move in Pettit's inescapability argument is to exploit this reliance on the identity-dependence criterion. As he sees it, the overarching focus on agential duties and agential assessments is a vulnerability in the non-consequentialist framework. Why? Because there are circumstances in which we must morally assess scenarios, and that do not turn on or implicate individual choices. In these scenarios non-consequentialism seems to run into a brick wall. It is at this point that consequentialism is inescapable.
The example Pettit uses to illustrate his argument is the assessment of political institutions. These are institutions that determine the options available to individual agents across a broad set of domains. They include institutions of marriage and civil partnership, civil respect, group incorporation, market exchange, and, of course, institutions of law-making and adjudication. Pettit argues that if our assessment of such institutions is to be something other that mere expressions of aesthetic preference, then we have to resort to consequentialism.
Let's formalise this argument before commenting on it any further. The formalisation is, as always, my own take:
(1) Non-consequentialism holds that the moral assessment of options must be sensitive to the identity of the assessor/agent in those options (the identity-dependence criterion); this is the distinguishing characteristic of non-consequentialism.
(2) Therefore, non-consequentialism does not apply when assessing options that do not implicate or involve the choices of individual agents.
(3) There are important (morally salient) cases in which we have to assess options that do not implicate or involve the choices of individual agents, for example the assessment of political institutions.
(4) If our assessments of such cases is to be something other than the reflection of subjective preference, consequentialism is the only game in town.
(5) Therefore, in some morally salient cases — such as the assessment of political institutions — consequentialism is inescapable.
I've collapsed the first stage of the argument into a simple inference from a single premise to a conclusion. This is mainly because I don't think that's where the objections lie. The main objections, as I see them, come with premises (3) and (4). Is it really true that the assessment of political institutions does no implicate individual choice? And is it really true that there is no other way of assessing such scenarios?
Pettit's initial gloss on this is as follows. The assessment of political institutions could be re-described so as to implicate individual choices, but this would miss the point of such assessments. For example, we could say that political institutions depend on the choices of some original group of founders, or we could say that political institutions depend on the ongoing choices and coordination of choices between groups of agents. In this sense, we could open up some room for non-consequentialism. But, argues Pettit, this ignores the fact that the moral merits of political institutions do not depend on such choices. It does not matter, for instance, whether the original founder (if such a person exists) was motivated by greed or malice; what matters is whether the institutions he or she founded are just or equitable and so on. In other words, the quality of such original choices, and the motivations behind them, is not what counts in the assessment of political institutions.
I'm not sure whether this is an argument so much as it is a stipulation. Pettit seems to be just making it a condition for the assessment of political institutions that they do not implicate individual choice. That trespasses on the territory of begging the question. Still, I sort of agree with him: I don't think that the moral quality political institutions is a function of the choices of those who create them. But I doubt a non-consequentialist would agree.
Leaving that aside, there are three other objections to the argument worthy of consideration. Pettit addresses these at length in his article. I summarise and provide some comments below.
2. The Rule-Consequentialist Objection
A rule-consequentialist rejects the notion that the right alternative is, always and everywhere, a promotional function of the agent-neutral good. Instead, the rule consequentialist holds that we should opt for rules that, in the average, promote the agent-neutral good, even if they may mandate sub-optimal actions in particular cases.
Could the rule-consequentialist provide an alternative criterion for the assessment of political institutions? Intuitively, the notion has some appeal. One of the main things that political institutions do is to set rules and obligations for individual action. So why not choose those rules in accordance with the strictures of rule-consequentialism? Take the "institution" of civil marriage. It prescribes a set of rules that must be followed in order to enter into a legally recognised marital union. It is very tempting to say that we should pick the particular configuration of the institution that creates rules that, on average, lead to the optimal outcomes.
We can grant that this is an appealing notion. The problem is that it is straightforwardly consequentialist. After all, even though they may not be consequentialists about individual actions, the rule-consequentialist is still a consequentialist about rules. When selecting institutions which set rules, they would be doing so on the basis that the rules set down did the most to promote the agent-neutral good. Those rules may be non-consequentialist in character, but that doesn't mean the assessment of the institution is non-consequentialist.
3. The Rule-Contractualist Objection
A somewhat similar, though arguably more subtle, objection comes from the contractualist school of thought. Roughly, contractualism holds that the right alternative in a given choice is the one that reasonable people can agree upon. The precise form of the "agreement condition" varies across different contractualist theories. One of the most famous comes from Thomas Scanlon. He holds that the principles of right action are the ones that cannot be reasonably rejected. Ostensibly, this is non-consequentialist in nature since people could reasonably reject the consequentialist principle.
Contractualism looms large in debates about political morality. Indeed, if I were to pick the one word that is most readily associated with political morality, I would pick "contractualism". It seems plausible to suggest, then, that contractualism could provide a non-consequentialist basis for picking political institutions. Instead of looking to the institutions that do the most to promote the good, we should look for institutions that nobody can reasonably reject. That would seem to undermine premise (4) of the inescapability argument.
Pettit's response to this is a little suspicious. He holds that such an approach to picking institutions would, contrary to what we have just said, be consequentialist in nature. This is because, unlike non-consequentialism proper, it assesses institutions from an impartial and agent-neutral perspective. I'll just quote what he says here ("Nagel" refers to Thomas Nagel who has advocated a kind of political contractualism):
"But the political theory to which Nagel directs us is not like that [i.e. not non-consequentialist]. It holds up an ideal for any society or polity: that its norms and laws should conform to the principles for the enforced, general regulation of behavior that no one could reasonably reject. And that ideal offers a neutral, identity-independent criterion for ranking systems of norms and laws — social and political institutions — on the basis of how far they realize it.
To put it more succinctly: "not reasonably rejectable" is just a good-making property of institutions, and contractualists are simply urging us to maximise that good-making property.
To make this plausible, it seems to me like Pettit has to collapse consequentialism into agent-neutrality. In other words, he has to say that any moral theory that holds to an agent-neutral system of evaluation is consequentialist. I guess that might be a legitimate move. But it seems like a stretch to me. I admit, however, that this may simply be because I find contractualism a plausible basis for political morality, and yet still think there are good-making properties other than "not reasonably rejectable" that are equally important, just not important in the political context. Maybe this just reveals confusion on my part.
4. The Group Agency Objection
The final objection is one that is close to Pettit's heart. With the help of Christian List, he has written an entire book defending the possibility of group agents, i.e. individual corporate agents that are created through the aggregated behaviours of individual human beings. But, of course, if such group agents are possible, one has the basis for an objection to premise (3) of the inescapability argument.
How might this work? Well, very simply. Assume that the body politic is a group agent. Assume further that political institutions are chosen by this group agent. It would then follow that the assessment of political institutions does implicate individual choices. The group agent could be under non-consequentialist constraints, and those constraints could determine which institutions are morally acceptable and which are not.
Pettit has a rebuttal. As he sees it, there is a desideratum that any compelling normative theory of social arrangements must satisfy. The desideratum is that when assessing institutional options, the theory should enable us to consider all possible institutional forms. For example, when considering institutions of marriage, we should be able to consider institutions that recognise all different kinds of relationship: heterosexual, homosexual, polyamorous, polygynous, polygamous, and so on. We may reject some; but we should be able to consider all.
The group agency objections falls foul of this desideratum because it cannot allow us to consider institutional arrangements that require the death or destruction of the group agent. For example, if we assume the group agent is the democratic electorate, we cannot consider non-democratic institutions. This, Pettit submits, makes it an inadequate basis for the assessment of social institutions, and hence an unsuccessful reply to his argument.
To sum up, Pettit's argument is that consequentialism is inescapable at a certain level of analysis. This is for two reasons. First, because non-consequentialism rules out the agent-neutral assessment of options. Second, because agent-neutral assessment is inescapable in at least some cases, particularly when it comes to assessing political institutions.
This argument works largely off the assumption that agent-neutral assessment is the hallmark of consequentialism. This might be questionable. It also works off the assumption that the assessment of political institutions is agent-neutral, which is debatable. Nevertheless, if the argument works, there is the question of its broader implications.
At first glance, the claim that consequentialism is inescapable at a certain level of analysis has no implications for other levels of analysis. In other words, we could be consequentialists about the assessment of political institutions, but non-consequentialists about the assessment of individual action. Pettit, however, suggests that his argument provides some support for a more global consequentialism. Specifically, he thinks that if we desire theoretical unity, we should prefer to apply the consequentialist model at all levels.

A wonderful Community effort for Ballaugh again last night at the annual Nativity in the Barn at Ballaterson Moar Farm.
Well done to Mr and Mrs Cowin for allowing their barn to be used for such a lovely event and everyone who organised it, a great team effort by all.
A glorious afternoon here on the Isle of Man today so decided to take Ted for a walk around Peel which eventually lead us up into the main shopping street of Peel.
I always love this little traditional street in Peel, the houses are mostly Peel Sandstone and the traditional street lights make it even more original, I must get down one night to capture a few low light shots.


The Eagle P3 commuter rail project is part of the Regional Transportation District's (RTD) FasTracks program to expand rail and bus transit throughout the Denver area. The single largest RTD FasTracks contract, this 35-mile, $2.1 billion project was completed and opened to the public in 2016.

This little gem delights our eyes and mouths every winter. The tiny sorrel flower (oxalis purpurea) and its vivid-green, clover-like leaves are strewn through our renosterbush hills like hundreds and thousands, the sugared and brightly coloured mini-marbles that my mother used to adorn the icing of the cakes she made for our birthdays.
The sorrel's arrival also signals a winter change in the dinner menu.
At least since 1670, sorrel has been an important ingredient in traditional Cape cooking.
Some of most influential immigrants were forcibly delivered to the Cape from what is now Indonesia by their Dutch rulers, mostly between 1670 and 1795.
They brought many talents and skills to their new home. Chief among these were the creation of the Cape-Dutch gabled architecture and Cape Malay cooking.
Most of the European vegetables did not grow in winter. The Cape Malay cooks looked to the indigenous bush for inspiration for warm meals for cold nights.
To the mutton from the fat-tailed sheep they added waterblommetjies (water flower buds) that they found in slow running streams. To add a salty, spicy, acid zest to the stew, they added sliced sorrel leaves and tubers from the sorrel roots.
Waterblommetjie bredie is together with bobotie one of the 2 great dishes of Cape cooking. Famous for over 300 years.

Killing Sparks Anti-ETA March
Senior Spanish politicians led thousands of marchers under the banner "ETA No" in the Basque town of Andoain on Sunday in protest at the killing of the local police chief. "ETA assassins!" shouted members of the 4,000-strong march, which passed close to the bar where a hooded gunman shot Jose Pagazaurtundua, 45, on Saturday as he ate breakfast. Pagazaurtundua, a married father-of-two, was an active member of an anti-ETA group and the local Socialist party which has suffered years of intimidation and attacks from radical Basque nationalists in Andoain. ETA, which is listed as a terrorist organisation by the European Union and the United States, has killed 838 people since 1968 in pursuit of an independent state in Basque areas of northern Spain and southwestern France.

Home Community USFSM Brunch on The Bay Silver Anniversary
USFSM is celebrating a big milestone and has come a long way. This year, Brunch will celebrate its Silver Anniversary. Since the start, the event has awarded more than 1,700 scholarships totaling in excess of $1 million and created a Brunch scholarship endowment totaling $1.3 million.
But before the event debuted 25 years ago, organizers were not as concerned about raising funds as they were about spotlighting USFSM.
Back then – before the campus building was constructed – USF Sarasota-Manatee was virtually invisible. Classes were held in borrowed space at New College of Florida. Raising scholarship money remained a primary goal of organizers, but the chief aim of Brunch was to raise awareness of the tiny campus.
"Classes were at night for the most part, and there was no signage. There was nothing to say we were here, so there was no recognition of USFSM," said retired accountant Charles Baumann, who chaired the first Brunch on the Bay organizing committee. "Nobody knew us."
Reporters were oblivious to the campus and turned elsewhere when seeking academic experts to weigh in on newsworthy topics. A consultant conducting a feasibility study advised against any kind of large-scale fundraiser.
"He said nobody knows USFSM; don't do it," said Baumann, a USF alum.
Organizers heeded the consultant's advice at first. Then they started thinking of ways to draw attention to the small campus. They hit on a sophisticated outdoor brunch with numerous restaurants and caterers, instead of a black-tie evening affair, and opted for early November before the social season shifted into high gear.
"Brunch wasn't meant for just the black-tie crowd," Baumann said. "It was meant for everybody, and we chose late morning so people could go after church. It really is an event where you can just come and enjoy yourself and see all your friends. Along the way, we raise money for scholarships."
The strategy worked, with the first Brunch attracting hundreds of attendees. The event has grown ever since. "There really is nothing else like it in Sarasota and Manatee," Baumann said. "That's why it's been around for so long."
But while the social side of Brunch is what attracts so many guests, the fundraising side remains front and center with reminders of how Brunch has changed lives and helped scholarship recipients complete their degree. Among those helped was Francisco Loera, an elementary education major who graduated last spring. Loera chose USFSM because of its proximity to home and small class sizes.
As he neared the end of his studies, he was offered a four-month internship. A great opportunity, Loera and his wife nevertheless worried whether it was worth giving up his managerial job at a local retailer that paid the bills. In the end, the Brunch scholarship made all the difference, enabling Loera to accept the internship. Now the Class of 2018 graduate has his "dream job" as a fifth-grade teacher at Palmetto Elementary School.
"I wasn't sure about finances and going into a full-time four-month program, but the Brunch on the Bay scholarship really provided a foundation for us," he said.
Loera is among dozens of students helped yearly through Brunch scholarships. Funds raised provide support for tuition, books, living expenses and other necessities. Also, many scholarship recipients come from the area and work here after graduation – meaning the scholarships resulting from Brunch benefit not only local students but local communities as well.
A Brunch scholarship helped Dat Vu earn degrees in accounting and finance. At his 2013 graduation, Vu received the Outstanding Graduate Award for excellence in academics and student life. He completed an MBA in fall 2016 and was hired as a staff accountant at Palmetto-based Feld Entertainment five years ago. He's since been promoted to senior accountant.
"What makes Brunch on the Bay so unique is that it brings together diverse members of the community where the goal is to give back, and with the support of people who come to the event, undergraduate students like me can have the ability to fulfill their academic dreams and have doors opened for opportunities that last a lifetime," Vu said.
Like many USFSM students, Jami Worley started college at another institution, then transferred to USFSM. She graduated in 2011 with a psychology degree focusing on psychology and law. Eventually, she graduated from law school and founded Worley Elder Law, a Bradenton firm specializing in estate planning and elder law needs.
"Having financial support from scholarships removes this level of stress where you have to worry about whether you need to get a part-time job, how you're going to balance work and school," Worley said.
"USFSM is an amazing school," she said. "You'll be challenged academically and given multiple opportunities to be involved in the campus and in the community. If you put in the work, you'll graduate as a better person who's ready to tackle the future."
Brunch on the Bay's importance can't be overstated, Baumann said.
"The financial support provided by individuals and businesses at Brunch changes lives and builds up our community," he said. "When people donate to student scholarships, sometimes that's just enough to push students over the edge to complete their degrees. Sometimes, just a little support makes a big difference in a student's ability to even go to college, earn a degree and then make a difference in our community."

Man am I glad those menaces to society have been suspended by Gonzaga.
When you get caught with ### and psychedelic mushrooms in your rig, something must be done, and something was.
What in the world were Josh Heytvelt and Theo Davis thinking? These kids had the audacity to drive around with mushrooms in Heytvelt's gym bag and a joint in Davis' pocket.
Their juvenile behavior has severely impacted the Bulldogs as they attempt to earn a ninth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. But isn't it time to say enough already?
This whole deal started last Friday night when Heytvelt's Chevrolet TrailBlazer was stopped in Cheney because he either forgot to turn on his taillights or they weren't working.
In the Go 2 Guy's twisted take, that was their first mistake. Attracting an officer's attention by having burned-out bulbs, especially with drugs in your possession, is the dumbest thing these kids did.
Another part of the story I don't get -- the police report said a bag of dried mushrooms was found protruding from the top of Heytvelt's gym bag in the back seat.
If I'm Heytvelt, as soon as I see blue lights in my rear-view mirror, the first thing I'm doing is "un-protruding" my mushrooms by stuffing them deep into my bag, underneath my sneakers and practice jersey and zipping the whole damn thing shut. That just seems like a Foreign-Substance Fundamental 101.
Had he done that, the officer might not have made another troubling discovery in Heytvelt's bag -- three foil-wrapped brownie muffins that allegedly contained hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Which made me wonder about more things. Mushrooms in brownies? Never heard that one before. ### yes, mushrooms no.
Were they store-bought Betty Crocker muffins or homegrown, I mean, homemade. Wrapped in foil? Were they out of baggies?
I shouldn't make light of this terrible ordeal because it's very serious stuff, but I can't help it. Yes, they should have known that drug use is a violation of team rules, but they're kids, they screwed up, they've paid the price, in Heytvelt's case by missing two games.
As far as I know, it's a first offense. Their scorned names have been in headlines all over the place the past week. Every day it's something else: Will they or will they not be charged? What will the crime lab reveal, that they were actually mushroom-laced Pillsbury muffins?
I'm sick enough to be amused by every detail. When coach Mark Few first heard about the incident, he had feelings of "shock, awe and the utter lowest level of disappointment you could ever get to."
Really, Mark, from a couple of players found with marijuana and mushrooms? There have to be lower levels of disappointment than that.
Then he's quoted as saying: "When you're involved in a program like this, the ramifications are worldwide."
Yeah, right, over in the Netherlands where you can legally buy psychedelic mushrooms, they're laughing if they've even heard about it at all.
Another crack Wikipedia research effort by the Go 2 Guy shows that psychedelic mushrooms were legal in Japan until 2002, legal in the United Kingdom until 2005 and legal in Ireland until last year.
In Florida, you can still legally possess psilocybin mushrooms that grow wild. In case they throw you out of Spokane, Josh, you might want to become a Gator.
Yes, here in Washington those magic mushrooms are felonious goods, and I know I'm missing the point, that kids shouldn't do drugs, period, particularly when they're part of a team. It's a privilege, not a right, and so on. But kids do do drugs.
I'm not going to condone Heytvelt's and Davis' actions, but at the same time, haven't they been punished enough? Reinstate Heytvelt in time for Saturday's game against eighth-ranked Memphis and allow Davis to be a member of the team again.
It is said that users of psychedelic mushrooms lose touch with reality. And in some cases non-users do, too.
I concur with his assessment.
2. Wait the mushrooms were hanging out his bag? OMG why didn't he stuff them to the bottom.
3. Wait mushrooms in brownies - never heard of it - holy crap that sounds freaking nasty.
4. Hold on the half smoked joint was in his breast pocket - why the hell didn't he throw it out of the window?
6. Wait they were driving around at 12:00 in freaking Cheney,WA with the lights off --- okay that confirms it they were high!
7. OMG they spent the night in jail, .... high on mushrooms!
8. They will never do mushrooms again! As that might be the worst "trip" I have ever heard of.
Now everyone breathe, I am only writing down my initial thoughts. It appears that neither Josh nor Theo were actually high, which makes the above exactly what it is - - - nonsense. I wish the best for Josh, Theo and their families and hope that the decisions they make at 19 and 21 years, do not affect the rest of their lives.
Here's the thing, and if you've had psilocybin mushrooms you know this -- mushrooms taste like... well, you know. Like the substance they're often found in! Nasty. If they're moist they're chewy, gag-inducing, foul smelling and extraordinarily difficult to choke down. If they're dry it's even worse, crunching up into little clouds of dust with a concentrated, head-twitchingly foul flavor.
So mushrooms are often mixed with something powerful in flavor and with enough viscosity to coat the palate -- fudge, peanut butter and brownies are popular choices.
While it's so surprising to media scribes, mushrooms in brownies is actually - at least among the purveyors and users of the fungus - quite common.
ZagPhish? So its not just a clever name.
7. OMG they spent the night in jail high on mushrooms!
8. They will never do mushrooms again, as that might be the worst trip I have ever heard of.
I can't say I was in the least bit surprised by the ###, seeing as my roommates regularly bring back high and drunk (crunk) hockey players (why these juniors and seniors come back to a freshman dorm is beyond me). It was the shrooms that had me baffled, though I know there are still people who do them.
Leave it to a liberal writer in Seattle to show this story for what it really is. People here are too busy swimming in their conservative pool of waste to see this story for what it really is. Their only mistake was getting caught. And before you ask - No, I am not concerned with the drug use of these players. They are not going to become derelicts of society or need drug counseling later in life - they are college kids experimenting with Mary J and mushrooms. Big Whoop. Even if it effects their play on the court - that is their decision - not yours or mine.
I suppose not, Zagquette. All the great handles already out there made me feel decidedly unclever, so I went with two authentic passions - Zags' ball and music. I almost went with CloakandZagger, but the truth is I'm not all that spy-like.
You are wrong. Violating team rules is another mistake whether they got caught by authorities or not. And we can save the conversation about whether or not using drugs is a mistake for later on the OCC board.
Thank you a13coach!!! Someone needed to put things in perspective and you did just that.
Oh no! The horror of being out at Cheney at midnight. And smoking a joint no less! The world is coming to an end! The game on Saturday was at 5pm. Even if they stayed out till 3am, they could have still gotten over 12 hours of sleep. I am not a fan of Josh at all (see my posts in the memphis poll thread) - but obviously you were too busy studying during college to have fun on a Friday night - there is no way you could relate to these kids.
at the division 1 level, the athletes don't show up at the arena 5 minutes prior to the start of the game...preparations take place all day. so no, they couldn't have had 12 hours of sleep. Besides that, whether they like it or not, they were breaking team policy by being out late.
On top of that, it wasn't just a joint...there were shrooms in Josh's bag, and that being a felony, makes it a little more serious.
It was midnight - 17 HOURS before the game. And since you are such an expert on team policy can you please quote for us what the team policy is? "being out late" seems a bit too vague to properly conform to.
Go live in Seattle for while with the guy that wrote this article or better yet go live near Haight Ashbury for a while and enlighten yourself. You've been in Spokane too long.
Because reaching into the backseat to "rearrange" your belongings in a more discreet manner isn't going to direct any attention from the cops. They love when you do that - that's the kind of stuff that'll get officers to approach your car with guns drawn. And they sure as heck are gonna check the bag you just stuffed a whole bunch of unknown items into - especially when they smell weed coming from the car.
"There are really three entities involved," he said. "There is the legal part of this, there's the school policy part of this and there's the (basketball) program, which, as leader of that program, is eventually my part of this."
Few said again that his decision to suspend Heytvelt and Davis was based on their violation of team policy rather than the drug possession charges.
"And we still haven't moved past that."
If that explanation isn't good enough for you, then I guess you can discuss the issue w/ Few.
thank you lothar, I was looking for that article.
and for what is worth jayray, I lived half my life in LA, and half my life in Tacoma...please don't tell me what I have done too much of or where I've been for too long. I don't know anything about you, and vice versa. So don't assume.
Why would someone who has lived half their live in L.A. and half there life in Tacoma (and thus never lived in Spokane) take such an active interest in the Zags and Josh to come here and post 190 times in less than one month on a Gonzaga message board?
Why would someone...come here and post...on a Gonzaga message board?
Same reason as you, because they can.
I don't qualify being a student at GU as "living" in Spokane.
If you can't sing along with "Summertime in the 509" you aint never been a Spokie!
im in full agreement with the article.
and again, very true. this is nothing new to the players nor program. getting caught is. it might shock the general fan but anyone with ties to the program or players wouldnt be. but to follow that up, i am dissapointed they went to cheney at midnight, and they deserve what they get. IMO dont until next season. an apology, some community service and be done with it.
:) :) Guilty in court or not I think Josh better dress warm cause he's goin to be playin BB in Alaska tomorrow. By the way, weed is legal there and it's too cold to grow shrooms so better take his own.
I'm not going to pretend to know what team policy is, but I can tell you that the team has a morning shoot around before every game. I believe it is usually around 9am, but that is when the games are at 9pm, so it could be different as that game was at 5pm.
At some point, you have to realize that these players are responsible for their actions. People like yourself who continually cut them more slack and even excuse this behavior will only lead to further problems within the program. At what point is it not OK? What if it were the night before the national championship and Josh was out on the streets of Atlanta with p.ot and shrooms? Would that have been OK with you, because the national championship game isn't played early in the day?
I'll just say it now, most GU students would be happy to NOT be considered a "spokie"
This article illustrates the contrast in the mentality of Seattle vs Spokane. The media has been hyping this story like the players were involved with an assult or something. In Seattle if you get pulled over and smell like chronic the cop might not even say anything (probably depends what you look like). Recreational herb use is legal in Seattle. There is no chance Davis would be charged with MJ in King County!
symi, you make a good point about spokane and seatlle in comparison to this case.
There is no chance Davis would be charged with MJ in King County!

Name: Nikkol Gomez
Her weight before: 165
Her weight after: 120
Pounds lost: 45
Time at current weight: 10 months
Nikkol Gomez's food problems started when she was in the sixth grade. "I was forced to clean my plate at every meal, leading to a regular habit of overeating that pushed my weight to 160 pounds by age 11," she says. In high school, she struggled with an eating disorder. Her weight dropped down to 112 pounds. "I knew my behavior was unhealthy," recalls the 30-year-old preschool teacher, but she couldn't stop — until she became pregnant at the age of 19. Determined to overcome her eating disorder for the sake of her baby, she ate — and overate. Nikkol gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy and was up to 165 pounds after the birth of her second child a few years later. "With work and two kids, I felt too exhausted to do any activity other than cleaning the house," she recalls.
Then came her 29th birthday in January 2005. "I resolved to be healthier and have more energy, for myself and my family, by the time I turned 30," she says. Nikkol signed up with Weight Watchers. She also started walking to and from her weigh-ins (four miles) and doing upper- and lower-body weight training three times a week. Soon she was losing a pound or two a week, and after three months, she upped her routine to jogging four times a week. By December 2005, she was running five miles at a time and had reached her goal weight of 120 pounds — just in time for her 30th birthday.
Nikkol recently completed the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Long Beach, California, a two-day, 39-mile trek to raise money for breast cancer research, a cause that's especially meaningful to her since her mom was diagnosed with the disease last year. "Conquering my eating problems made me realize that I can do anything, even walk 26 miles in one day," she says.
Nikkol's Weight-Loss Plan
My Diet: "For breakfast, I have oatmeal and blueberries. Lunch is turkey on whole-grain bread with vegetables. Dinner is grilled chicken, a baked sweet potato, and spinach salad. I snack on fruit, yogurt, and nuts."
My Guilty Pleasure: "Low-calorie Hershey's Sticks."
My Workout: "I walk or jog five miles, then strength-train for 30 to 45 minutes four times a week."
My #1 Motivator: "I turn on Top 40 radio and dance."

Q: How many words/phrases were coined by Milton? In studying the works of John Milton in The Riverside Milton, I've noticed that the footnotes repeatedly point to the OED, which cites Milton as having coined a seemingly endless number of words and phrases that are still in use today. Knowing that he was fluent in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Spanish, French and Italian, I've become extremely curious: Does anyone have a clue as to how many words/phrases Milton contributed to the English language?

A: This source claims Milton coined 630 words (to Shakespeare's 229):

According to Gavin Alexander, lecturer in English at Cambridge university and fellow of Milton's alma mater, Christ's College, who has trawled the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) for evidence, Milton is responsible for introducing some 630 words to the English language, making him the country's greatest neologist, ahead of Ben Jonson with 558, John Donne with 342 and Shakespeare with 229.

'Money Heist' season 5 will premiere on Netflix later this year
Popular Netflix series 'La Casa de Papel' aka 'Money Heist' has a different level of popularity across the world and apart from the series the character which excite us the most is Professor Alvaro Morte.
Recently, the star chatted with his global fandom during an Instagram live chat after wrapping up the show for the final time. During the talk, the actor reached out to his Indian fans.
A post shared by Álvaro Morte (@alvaromorte)
During the session, the actor was asked about his show's popularity in India and by responding to it, Alvaro said, "Love from India! Wow, that's one country I'd like to visit. I know a lot of fans from India. I get a lot of messages from there. They are all very nice and thank you so much for following us."
He added, "It's very nice when you've been working for months and you have the love of many countries from all over the world."
During the talk, he was joined by his co-star Najwa Nimri and co-director Jesús Colmenar. By recalling the amazing year after wrapping up the show, Alvaro said, "It's been a huge adventure with an amazing crew, team, and cast. I feel like I've learned a lot and I can do many things (after) doing the Professor."
Before the announcement of the show's wrapping up, Morte paid an emotional goodbye after completing his part of the shoot for the fifth and final season.
A few weeks back, Morte posted a video of himself showing the set of the show. ''Leaving for the last time the set of @lacasadepapel Words are unnecessary. Thankful for so much, for everything. To the fans (the first ones, of course), to the entire team of @vancouvermediaproducciones and @netflixes @netflix And to you, my dear Professor. I will miss having such a good time with you. THANK YOU," he wrote.

- Writer Jesse Stern speaks to the lack of a single-player campaign in Respawn's Titanfall.
Respawn Entertainment is reportedly working on a sequel to its 2014 multiplayer game Titanfall that will incorporate a single-player campaign, according to comments made by lead writer Jesse Stern in an with Forbes.
Stern's comments suggest Respawn is expanding its narrative ambitions for its flagship franchise, which is notable in light of the fact that many recent big-budget releases with similar design philosophies (think: Star Wars Battlefront, Rainbow Six Siege) have dispensed with single-player campaigns entirely.
This is often due to limited resources -- Boss Key cofounder Cliff Bleszinski made headlines last month for stating that the cost of producing a single-player campaign can often account for up to 75 percent of a project's total budget, and in speaking to Forbes Stern recalls that Respawn simply couldn't afford to do that for Titanfall.
But now the studio seems intent on fleshing out the narratives implied in the original Titanfall through both the aforementioned traditional single-player campaign and, potentially, a Titanfall TV series that Stern claims to be developing with Respawn and Lionsgate.
This is well in line with Lionsgate's 2015 annual report to shareholders, in which the entertainment company describes its Titanfall project as a "one-hour sci-fi action television series" being developed alongside (among other things) a competitive game show based on King's Candy Crush games.

It's become trendy to lament the critical drubbing reserved for certain popular genres among, ironically enough, the American literary establishment. In the pages of the New York Times Book Review and similar literary gate-keepers, one will find such comments applied to the graphic novel, true crime, horror, chick lit, bodice rippers, and science fiction. Though nearly every critic who stages such a defense depicts himself as a lone voice, it's a hugely popular and pretentious way to signal a lack of pretension. This attitude extends the logic of diversity to genre and it's embraced as a form of progressive politics.
This is silly, which is not to say that there aren't genuine political prejudices at work in the contempt displayed for certain genres, most obviously romance. While there's nothing wrong - and a heck of a lot right - with analyzing the politics and artistry of such books, there is something wrong with pretending that genre labels are somehow discriminatory and a means of oppression. Genre labels are functional; they help readers find the sort of book they want to read. The truth is that genre fiction is less 'serious' than literary fiction, for the simple reason that genre fiction subscribes to certain structural, aesthetic, and narrative formulas, while literary fiction rejects, or at least attempts to reject, formulas. There might be a significant grey area here, but it is possible to make the differentiation.
The formulaic nature of genre fiction is part of its appeal. Horror fans want to find thrills and scares in their novels, mystery fans want to solve crimes, romance fans want amorous fantasy and titillation. The subversion of the formula is more often than not what allows a work of genre fiction to make the leap over into literary fiction. (Established literary names will also usually have their genre efforts shunted over to the realm of more 'serious' literature - whether it's fair or not, an author's reputation matters a lot when it comes to a book's reception.) Ultimately, the genre formula is the draw, and not a defect, a feature, rather than a bug.
The current American literary scene discourages negative reviews and encourages puff pieces, while the world of literary social media is dominated by political crusades against books and writers perceived as intolerant or politically out of line. This atmosphere of hair-trigger outrage, gushing support for the literary enterprise, and corporate-flavor marketing puts critics in a less than comfortable position. The American literary establishment has always prized the middle-brow and lifted a mocking eyebrow at the high; now, critics prove that they're not evil by not merely embracing the low-brow, but defending it as though it were in mortal danger, though of course the very genres that are being treated as damsels in distress are the least imperiled. Those are the books that hit the best-seller list.
None of this means that genre fiction is without value; rather it means that its value lies precisely in its difference from literary fiction. Readers turn to genre fiction for the same reason that they might go to see a superhero movie or stream a song by Taylor Swift. The formula is dependable, even the big twist is dependable, since that twist is part of the formula, just as the modulation and bridge are in a pop song.
Being a fan of Helen Fielding and Marian Keyes, queens of chick lit, doesn't prevent me from recognizing that their work, charming and chummy and toothsome as it is, is not serious literature. They absolutely deserve their success, but they, and their fellow genre writers, are not experimenting with form or convention, or tackling the more difficult and contentious aspects of either individual or collective life. Their heroines are likable and relatable. Their endings are upbeat. The darkness is always sweetened with light. And that's great! Because those things are what I want from chick lit. Something similar could be said of almost any genre, depending on the particular reader. I happen to enjoy books about young single women whose lives are messy but fun and someone else might go for books about people with superpowers saving the world or detectives with a past solving a gruesome murder or teenagers doing all the screwed-up, slapdash things that teenagers do. Those preferences are not stupid or demeaning, but neither are they worthy of praise. They're merely an expression of mood and taste.
The idea that refusing to call genre fiction serious is somehow an insult presumes that seriousness is good, but seriousness is only good when it's in the right context. That's why we laugh at people who act deadly serious while, for instance, getting interviewed on the news in their skivvies. It's also why we feel scandalized when someone tells inappropriate jokes after someone's dog died. By wringing our hands over the critical reception of genre fiction, critics don't rescue it from an unjustly ignominious failure. Rather, they pander to a public that has fatally misunderstood identity politics.
Increasingly, readers identify themselves with their tastes. It is not unusual to hear someone say that he identifies as a Star Wars/Batman/Harry Potter/John Green, etc. etc. fan. Unsurprisingly, the people most keen to revile critics of their favorite stories and characters are straight white men, so it strikes me as possible that this blurring of the line between who we are and what we like is rooted in a desire, especially on the part of those who are decidedly not marginalized, to claim injury in the face of diversity. If we really are what we like, then every time a critic pans, or even just gives a lukewarm reception to, something we like, then the review becomes an insult, but here's the rub: we're not what we like.
Criticism is worthless if it's merely a concession to dominant tastes or strident fandoms. Genre fiction isn't junk, but it deserves a critical evaluation that considers it in its proper context. Liking Gillian Flynn or Dan Brown better than Kazuo Ishiguro or Marilynne Robinson doesn't mean Flynn and Brown should be judged by the same standards as their more critically acclaimed colleagues, nor does it mean that you're somehow a lesser person. It just means you prefer Flynn and Brown. No one can demand that the whole world subscribe to his or her individual taste. Even the attempt is obnoxious and puerile. The best thing both for readers and for the literary world at large is to have the widest possible range of literature to choose from, stretching from the fluffiest, most escapist genre fiction to the most complex, erudite, and gymnastically written literary fiction, with an equally wide range of applied critical standards. Rather than argue about which books are the most important and relevant and necessary, maybe we could stop ranking and start reading.
The Problem with a Modern "Auntie Mame"
Last year, Annie Mumolo, co-writer of Bridesmaids and Joy, broke the news that she had begun collaborating with Stan Chervin, co-writer of Moneyball, on a modern-day adaptation of Auntie Mame, to star Tilda Swinton as the madcappiest of madcap aunts. The project, not even written yet, already smells (or stinks, depending on your tolerance for the Academy) of Oscar nominations.
The 1958 adaptation of Patrick Dennis's bestselling novel starred Rosalind Russell in one of her most iconic and brilliant roles. The movie hewed much closer to the stage play than the novel, which is essentially a series of linked short stories about Mame's various escapades, a choice that was all to the good. The fabulously witty team of Betty Comden and Adolph Green, who wrote both Broadway and Hollywood hits, including Singin' in the Rain, gave Mame her most quotable line ("Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!") and imbued the film with a rapid-fire pacing that suited Russell's screwball comedy chops to a T.
A second adaptation, simply called Mame, came out in 1974. Based on the musical version of the play, the movie starred Lucille Ball and it is hopelessly bad, a treacly, ponderous marzipan elephant of a film that has all the awful hallmarks of '70s musicals and none of their kitschy charms. Ball, in particular, is a great disappointment, coming off as sad, old, and bored.
The films shrink the time-frame slightly, and leave out a number of chapters, most notably the one set during World War II in which Auntie Mame adopts six British refugee children, whose more charming qualities include shoplifting and playing at pimps and prostitutes. I think it's fair to assume that the new adaptation will also streamline the narrative and leave out a fair number of escapades.
Now, I'm not going to start boo-hooing about the remake-itis epidemic running rampant in Hollywood. There's nothing wrong with remaking an old project as long as you do it well. The fact that very few people in Hollywood seem capable of doing it well is a different issue. But, still, I find it hard to believe that this new Auntie Mame is going to work, even with the majestically chameleonic Swinton.
That's because this new adaptation is going to be reset in the modern day. Herein lies the problem. Some books adapt well to other time periods, especially if the writers don't stick too closely to the source material. Think of Clueless, adapted from Jane Austen's Emma, Bridget Jones's Diary, adapted from Pride and Prejudice, Carmen Jones adapted from Mérimée's novella and Bizet's opera, or Cruel Intentions, from Laclos's Les liaisons dangereuses. But I don't think it will work for Auntie Mame. Part of the issue is style and part of it is content. Just as Mame is constantly inhabiting different roles (and buying extravagant wardrobes to match), Dennis uses carefully delineated aesthetics to indicate the politics, status, wealth, and worthiness of the characters. Style, whether in terms of fashion or comedy, will be a massive problem. Certain audiences are not going to deal with Mame's dabbling in various cultures, swanning about in saris with swamis, tramping in tweeds and brogues with Irish poets, or drawling her 'r's with yankee-hating plantation-owners. This play-acting is at the very crux of Mame's personality. She is remarkably unprejudiced for a woman of her time, welcoming Jews, homosexuals, and many other marginalized people into her home, but that doesn't make her behavior politically correct by today's standards. It's possible that Mumolo and Chervin will come up with some clever way of letting Mame play without stepping on anyone's toes, but the subversiveness of the character will be hopelessly neutered if they take it too far.
Much of the comedy of the various stories rests on the specific historical moment in which the novel and films are set. It will be difficult, for instance, to figure out why Mame would need to take in her pregnant, abandoned secretary Agnes Gooch in a world in which many women choose to become single mothers without a whiff of scandal. While much of the politically incorrect stuff will undoubtedly be cut, especially the giggling Japanese houseboy, Ito, none of the stories will have much substance left in the modern world.
It seems likelier that Mumolo and Chervin will try to milk comedy from the collision of Auntie Mame with modern life: social media, online dating, texting, avocado toast, and the like. But unless Auntie Mame is a time-traveler, there won't be a collision. Mame adores the new and modern, she is as mutable as fashion, and would have no trouble changing tastes as fast as twitter storms gather, break, and pass. Whole new scenarios will have to be dreamed up for Mame.
However, the reason I most doubt this new adaptation is this: Mame is enormously wealthy. Her many obsessions are fueled by a large disposable income. Mame without money isn't Mame. But in the wake of the Great Recession, the expensive eccentricities of the mega-wealthy are difficult to laugh about. While the tech moguls, Wall Street brokers, and CEOs buy Caribbean islands, recreate Hobbiton for their weddings, keep a plane or two on call, and think themselves magnanimous if their companies offer ten cents per coffee for charity, millions of people worldwide go hungry. In the prosperous '50s, when Patrick Dennis introduced the world to Auntie Mame, desperation wasn't a dominant cultural flavor. Now, a reborn modern Auntie Mame will have to endear herself to us in a world where the difference between the haves and the have-nots is becoming ever more gargantuan. I won't say it can't work, but I'm not feeling confident. Can we like a madcap millionairess anymore?


there also seems to be a glitch that means that the field 89. 'total grant claim' stops performing the calculation of the previous 11 fields and reverts to 'Copy multiple field values' rather than calculate. I've tried putting this back to calculate but it never stays on calculate.
I was able to replicate the problem.
Here's a sample session link that I have in my cloned form: https://form.jotform.com/60534533592961?session=bhills_8114@mailinator.com.
The problem is that the condition to calculate the "Total grand claim" is based on the "Area" text box, it will only trigger the condition if it is filled out. The problem is that when the form is loaded on a session, it does not trigger that condition.
You need to move your mouse cursor and place it in your "Area" text box before the condition will be triggered. You can try it in your end, just place the mouse cursor in your "Area" text box and it will continue to start the calculation again.
Here's a simple session form link that I have: https://form.jotform.com/60534994974976?session=bhills_9838@mailinator.com. Noticed that the calculation won't continue or work without placing the mouse cursor in my text box field.
I have forwarded this to our developers to have it checked and fixed. Apologies for the inconvenience.
I have a possible workaround that you can implement while this is being investigated. Do you require the "Area" text box in your conditions?
Here's my cloned form with a session on it: https://form.jotform.com/60534533592961?session=bhills_4373@mailinator.com.
1. Instead of using conditions, we will use the form calculation widget.
3. With that, the calculation is not dependent on a form field like the "Area" text box. It will calculate as long as there are input values on the budget form fields.
However, please note that when you delete your current text box "Total grant claim", you will lose the data associated with it. Perhaps cloning a form with the version that I have and use that instead would be an alternative? So that you don't need to change anything on the current form that you have because it already has submissions on it.
This has been fixed. Calculation will work without having to focus on the condition term field when field values are loaded from a session. Please let us know if you continue to have problems.

Last week we were over on the other side of Lochinver Bay exploring the Inver Park area. We were on the main drag running parallel to the shore. As you go on down that road, you pass the new block of what is now known as "social housing" which was built during the time my husband was the secretary of the Community Council. Many a meeting he attended "on site" coping with people's fears about the houses being built there – but now they have been up a few years and very much look part of the landscape. In fact, I for one can't remember what it looked like without them. They are far from unattractive, and although I am not very in favour of the constant building that goes on in this country, I do sometimes have to admit that a decent row of houses can actually enhance a place, especially if they provide good homes for people who couldn't possibly afford the price of a house – even here.
Turning left at the bottom of the road, you find yourself in a rather surreal world! This is the road upon which the famous Lochinver Pottery resides, and evidence of this is apparent from the moment you turn the corner.
Let me explain. It is in this building, the original establishment, that the pottery is painted and fired. Of course when pottery is fired, there are inevitable breakages in the kiln, and quite a few years ago one of the owners of the pottery had a mosaic made around the front of the shop. Kaffe Fasset designed it, and for quite a while that was it – an attractive and unusual shop front. The Ullapool "branch" has been treated in the same manner.
Of course when we are down there, we have to go into the shop itself. I don't know when it first started – it certainly seemed to be pretty well established when we came here to live in 2002. I imagine it was one of the owners that came up with what you might call the signature colour of the pottery, which is a very distinctive and absolutely beautiful blue. It sort of goes from dark to light shades and features in pretty much all their designs.
And there are a lot of different designs – all of which are displayed in all their glory from floor to ceiling in the shop. This is the place to come to buy it – on its home territory – and partly because this is actually the seconds shop! The pottery is very expensive as pottery goes, some of the biggest pieces going for several hundred pounds if not over a thousand – but they are very much worth the expense if you can run to it!! It is more than possible though to find something really good and reasonably priced in the seconds shop and a lot of people round here have at least one example of the pottery in their houses. I have several bits, including a beautiful vase my sister gave me a few years ago, and it would be almost impossible for anyone, except maybe an expert, to say that these pieces are seconds.
On going into the shop, you are invited to go up a short flight of steps to see the artists at work. There are normally only two or three people actually working at one time, although there are quite a few, all women as far as I know, who work there. Because there are different artists at work, there are inevitably different styles of painting, and that makes for variation in the designs. I stood and watched Dorell working there once painting a salmon on an incipient fish serving dish, and just watching her stroke the brush over the pottery dish while chatting away to me was amazing – I so envy her talent. Young Hannah who works there was on the art course I took last spring, and I could instantly pick out her work among the finished pieces – her style is very distinctive. The kiln is also up there and racks of pottery dishes waiting to be decorated and/or fired. I don't know where the pottery is actually made, but for me it is enough to see it all there ready to go, and to see the finishing process from plain sort of pinky coloured clay to the glorious finished article.
When I first came across the pottery, they didn't have nearly as many designs as they do now, but they are very sensible and keep the old designs going for as long as possible while adding new, so if you were to break your favourite bit of Lochinver pottery, the chances are that you would be able to replace it.
As I said, there are more places now where you can buy the pottery apart from this part of the country. When Mohammed el Fayed bought the Shin Falls over towards the east side of the country, he expanded the gift shop there and included some Lochinver pottery, and as he owned Harrods at the time, the pottery went down there too! Since then, I have seen it on sale in several odd places on the islands and over on the east side – it is very distinctive, mostly because of that gorgeous blue. If you are taking a cup of tea somewhere around the north of Scotland, and your cup is blue, have a look on the bottom – after you've finished the contents of course – and you will quite likely find that it was made in Lochinver.
On dragging yourself away from the pottery – maybe or maybe not without punishing your credit card, and it's hard not to! – you have to back track along the decorated road and out on to the main road, which actually finishes here. You have arrived at the "suburbs" of Lochinver – although I am sure that the residents of Glendarrach and Baddidarrach would not think of themselves as living in suburbs!! If you turn sort of half-left, you go down a small hill into Glendarrach – which means Oak Glen, darrach being the Gaelic word for an oak tree – and which is an attractive area of trees, gardens and a few houses. There are also wooden chalets there, some lived in and some holiday homes – which is the norm for houses of all sorts around here. Glendarrach is right down by the Bay and is relatively sheltered.
Baddidarrach – or Oak Place – goes up the hill to the right and is rather more exposed. My friends, Lyn and Ken, live up there and they have a magnificent view of the mountains on the other side of the bay – Suilven, Culmore, Culbeag and as far south as Stac Polly – from the picture window in their sitting room (see photos of mountains in previous blog). The houses are rather cut into the hill, and therefore the grounds around them tend to be pretty steep and far less sheltered than the gardens in Glendarrach, but Lyn and Ken have created a wonderful woodland/wildlife garden with the burn running alongside.

Article from The Daily Wire by Ashe Schow.
Crull was sleeping in his newly purchased but used Astro van, parked at a KFC restaurant, when paramedics arrived. They were responding to a "suspicious van" alert. Then deputies arrived, including Steven O'Leary. In the driver's side door was a "white powdery substance," which was "wrapped in plastic with a hair tie around it," according to WPTV. Crull told the deputy is was Tide laundry detergent. O'Leary didn't buy it, and reported it was heroin, claiming a field test proved it as such, according to the Miami Herald.
"I just looked at him baffled and confused because I had no idea as to where 92 grams of heroin came from inside my van," Crull told WPTV.
Crull spent 41 days in jail, missing Christmas and New Year's, before finally being released. The substance was, in fact, laundry detergent. He and 10 other people have been wrongly imprisoned by O'Leary, who claimed they were holding drugs when in fact the substance was legal. O'Leary has not been fired, and the Martin County Sheriff's department is attempting to distance itself from him.
How much wrongful arrest insurance coverage does the city and it's police department carry? Could be that such cases will determine if their coverage is sufficKent.
Why is this guy still a cop and not in jail???

Cautious welcome for 450 homes in Douglas
Proposed development at Maryborough Ridge. Pic: Deady Gahan Architects
Roisin Burke and Mary Corcoran
THE newly approved housing development which will bring almost 450 homes to the city suburb has been welcomed, although a number of representatives have raised concerns regarding the impact on traffic and the need for better infrastructure to cope with increased demand.
An Bord Pleanála has granted conditional permission to Glenveagh Homes Limited to develop almost 450 homes.
The site is part of a larger residential development at Maryborough Ridge, which has developed sequentially over a number of years.
The strategic housing development will include 449 residential units composed of 315 two-, three- and four-bed houses, as well as 46 duplex apartments and 88 apartments, between three and five storeys in height.
Forty-five units will be provided as part of Part V, 37 in the subject application, and eight as part of another permitted development. The development will also include a creche and associated site works.
Fine Gael Councillor Deirdre Forde said she was very pleased with the proposal, which she said took onboard a lot of her own submission during the consultation process.
"A lot of what I submitted is in this planning application, play areas, the correct species of trees that are compatible with estate living, connection to public transport, appropriate housing, two beds, etc. They are all included."
Despite this, Mrs Forde said she has some misgivings.
"One is that there are only five objections to An Bord Pleanála (ABP) and I think that was because of Covid, to be fair to ABP, they did extend the timeline for objections from April to the end of June, which left plenty of time." Mrs Forde also said that there would be just two access points to the estate of almost 450 homes.

"There are going to be a lot of houses. There will be pressure on the infrastructure."
The Douglas councillor also said that it was important to seek clarity on when the houses would be built.
"The second thing I would say is Glenveagh has quite a lot of planning applications in and we all know planning applications last for five years, so at what stage of the five years will this be completed?
"We need houses now, we don't need houses in five or six years, I'm not sure when they plan on commencing work."
Fellow Fine Gael Councillor in Douglas Shane O'Callaghan said it was great to see houses being built with an ongoing housing crisis but said that he would be concerned with level of transport infrastructure in the area.
"The one thing that I would be concerned about would be the provision of transport infrastructure, that the infrastructure is in place to cater for the amount of traffic that automatically arises as a result of a major housing development.
"As long as steps are taken and all efforts are made to ensure that the necessary infrastructure is in place with it, then, of course, it is to be welcomed.
"Every effort should be made to ensure that it doesn't have too much of a negative impact on the traffic in the surrounding area."
Labour Local Area Representative Peter Horgan echoed these sentiments and said he hoped the homes would be affordable and public transport was easily accessible.
"We need housing plain and simple but it's vital that new housing schemes take into account communities and create communities not just endless estates.
"I hope these houses will be affordable for families and young people and we will need to see more pedestrian crossings installed to allow permeability in this area of Maryborough Hill.
"It's important that bus shelters are to be installed and credit to all public reps who fought for this and there is a comprehensive 24-hour bus service for when full public transport capacity returns."

"I was so frustrated with getting older, losing distance, new technology every six months, that whole side of it is really what had been frustrating me enough to think about giving up the game almost," Laurance said. "I really wasn't enjoying it. Once I started playing these I let go of all those expectations. You don't really expect to hit great shots like you do with a forgiving club, or hitting it a certain distance.
What also makes Laurance an anomaly in the tournament is he is not playing to win, and there can be no suspicions of him sandbagging.
The hickories are already a disadvantage. He's also playing in a flight that is way above his skill level. A good friend from Michigan, who is about a 6 handicap, is also playing in the event and Laurance decided he would play in a flight with him. Laurance keeps a Society of Hickory Golfers handicap of 18.6.
Laurance is second to last in his 44-player flight with rounds of 98 at The Pearl Golf Links East and 95 at Wild Wing Plantation's Avocet Course.
Laurance, a New York native, is a retired actor who had recurring roles in television shows including Dawson's Creek, and he also announced professional billiards tournaments.
He's still involved in media as a co-host of a Talking Golf Getaways podcast on thegolfnewsnet.com with partner Darin Bunch. He recently completed the 75th episode.
He has had a working responsibility at the World Am for about the past 25 years, including about the past 10 as an emcee at the World's Largest 19th Hole party at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, and several years shooting footage for On The Green TV.
But On The Green no longer has a television component, and Golf Channel personalities Charlie Rymer and Damon Hack are handling emcee duties. So Laurance was freed up to play.
"I've always kind of flirted with it because to me it's so interesting and I love what it has represented for Myrtle Beach," Laurance said. "It'll be fun to talk to people I play with from around the world and see the competitive side of it. I want to be around them to see how they deal with that aspect.
Laurance has exclusively played hickory-shafted clubs for about the past six years, and estimates he averages about 50 rounds a year. "I have no desire to play regular clubs anymore. I haven't since I started playing with these," he said. "You're almost in a way forced to go back to what I think of as the real game, which is being creative with shots.
Laurance has become a connoisseur of hickory clubmakers and has a mixed bag. He has irons from Tom Stewart, who made irons used by Bobby Jones, a wood by Jack White, who made a driver used by Bobby Jones, and distinct William Gibson clubs.
The clubheads are forged steel, and Laurance also uses replica balls made of modern materials but with dimple patterns from the 1920s made by the McIntyre Golf Company.
He plays with less than 14 clubs – he's using less than 10 this week – and his drives are generally between 200 and 220 yards. "A 375-yard par-4 is a big hole for me because I'm coming in with a 100-year-old 1-iron," Laurance said.
He said a lot of times he doesn't keep an aggregate score when he plays. He and his wife, world billiards champion Ewa Mataya Laurance, generally play a match play format in their rounds.
There are hickory societies around the world that sponsor tournaments. There is an annual World Hickory Open Championship – the 2016 winner was former Masters champion Sandy Lyle – and a U.S. Hickory Open, as well as regional and state events.
Laurance might not be alone in the World Am next year.

With such a competitive marketplace and not much room to maneuver Coburg recognised the need to get the management team working together to cut costs and increase efficiency. Dale Carnegie worked with Coburg to determine objectives and developed a customised solution to fit their needs. "The end result was that everybody agreed that this was exactly what we wanted. Everybody had the feeling that this is not just Dale Carnegie, this is a Dale Carnegie/Coburg management training course", says Rackley. According to Rackley, the customised training program, developed by DCT for Coburg Dairy is producing very tangible results that are more than justifying its investment.
How They're Succeeding Now
"Right now," he says, "we are looking at having the best year in terms of cost savings that we have had in probably ten years. While we had some projects and initiatives in place prior to beginning the DCT, I feel very strongly, and I'm sure my management team does too, that the management training that we went through really helped sharpen our focus on those projects that could be of greatest benefit to us financially. We wound up with five or six specific objectives that will help make us financially healthy."
Due to heavy competition Coburg Dairy needed to increase productivity and efficiency so that it could continue to compete in a marketplace where products are perishable and margins are razor thin.
Coburg and Dale Carnegie Training developed a customised leadership program to help managers increase communication and collaboration to reduce the cost of doing business.
Increased communication among management was able to increase the bottom line and ultimately lead to a change in the way Coburg produced it products. These two factors have contributed to Coburg Dairy having one of the best years in recent history in terms of net profitability according to Rackley.
"I strongly recommended our corporate office look seriously at using Dale Carnegie's management training program. I told them that it is just a tremendous team-building atmosphere, and that everybody gets a better grasp and commitment to what their company should be seeking to achieve."

Q: A very long delay between indexing a document in ElasticSearch and seeing it in search results We are experiencing a problem with ES 5.4.2 on production. About 25% of our indexed documents are only appearing in search results after 3 seconds or more after success response from indexing request. For some documents, it's more than 7 seconds. Our cluster consists of three nodes with 59GBs of RAM of which 31GBs are dedicated to ES heap. Heap usage never goes over 75% with GC dropping it down to ~25-30%. Indexing rate is relatively low, less than 10 documents per second. Our average refresh time is ~300 ms. Refresh interval is default 1s.
With these numbers, I am expecting at most ~1.5 s delay between indexation and search availability. What am I missing here? Is it possible to reduce this search availability delay? Maybe I'm missing some metric that is worth monitoring?
