RG3 nearly perfect; Redskins beat Eagles 31-6

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) ? Robert Griffin III's perfect game was broken up by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who batted away a pass intended for Joshua Morgan late in the first half.

Otherwise, nothing the Washington Redskins rookie threw hit the ground. Fifteen attempts. Fourteen completions. Four touchdowns. Two hundred yards on the nose. Yet another game without an interception.

"Except for that one incompletion, I thought he was OK," coach Mike Shanahan deadpanned.

Griffin threw for a touchdown in every quarter ? 6 yards to Darrel Young, 49 to Aldrick Robinson, 61 to Santana Moss and 17 to Logan Paulsen ? and ran 12 times for 84 yards in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

"I'm tired of talking about Robert," Moss said with a laugh. "Nothing's going to change; Robert's going to go out there and be special. That's the gift that he has, he's a special guy. He brings that kind of 'specialness.' I don't know if that's a word, but he brings it to our offense."

Moss might be running out of ways to extol Griffin's virtues, but he's certainly reaping the benefits. He has six touchdown receptions this season despite playing in a reduced role; no other Redskins receiver has more than two. He made Griffin look good by leaping between two defenders to make a catch and fighting his way into the end zone for his score in the third quarter, a throw that prompted an "oh, no ? oh, yes" reaction from Shanahan.

"There's a difference between playing fearless and being stupid," Griffin said. "You just have to be able to tiptoe that line. Now if it had been an interception, the pass would have looked stupid. But because it was a touchdown, it was fearless."

The game for last place in the NFC East left a thick line between the Redskins and Eagles. The win allows Washington (4-6) to feel like a playoff contender for at least a few more days, while Philadelphia (3-7) is doomed to spending six more weeks enduring endless questions about the future of the franchise.

"I don't know how it can get much worse," Eagles tight end Brent Celek said.

The Eagles have lost six straight, accelerating the countdown toward the possible end of Andy Reid's 14-year tenure as coach.

"I don't sense a lack of focus," said Reid, who declined to directly answer a question about his job security. "That's not what I sense. I see them playing hard. I see them focusing in at practice. At times, maybe we're trying too hard."

The Redskins, meanwhile, have a short week before heading to Texas for a Thanksgiving visit to the Dallas Cowboys. Washington had lost three in a row entering Sunday's game, but that's not enough to derail hopes of contending in a down year for the division.

"When things don't go your way, you just kind of get lost," right guard Kory Lichtensteiger said. "You get that sinking feeling again. And to be able to get out of that and get a win, it's going to do huge things for this next game and here on out ? because there's a feeling of 'Hey, we're back in this.'"

Lichtensteiger then paused and asked: "Did Dallas lose?"

The Cowboys, in fact, won. They pulled out an overtime victory over the Cleveland Browns to improve to 5-5. Still, it says something that the Redskins are able to do some meaningful scoreboard watching.

"It was a game we had to have," said Shanahan, who reversed himself a couple of weeks ago after initially indicating that the playoffs were out of reach.

The Redskins also finally found a formula for beating a rookie quarterback: force turnovers and have your own rookie play better. The defense got three takeaways and four sacks while facing Nick Foles, the third-round pick from Arizona who was making his first NFL start because Michael Vick is sidelined with a concussion.

Foles' first two drives ended with interceptions, putting the Redskins on their way to ending a remarkable eight-game losing streak against rookie quarterbacks that began in 2006. Foles completed 21 for 46 for 204 yards.

"That's the kind of football we've been wanting to play all year," said Washington linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, who had a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. "And especially with Philly having a young quarterback, we wanted to really get after him."

NOTES: Eagles RB LeSean McCoy had 15 carries for 45 yards before being carted off in the final two minutes with a concussion. ... The Eagles have their longest in-season losing streak since dropping seven in a row at the end of 1994. ... Griffin has only three interceptions in 277 attempts this season. Foles already has three in just 78 attempts. ... Washington last beat a rookie quarterback on Dec. 24, 2005, a 24-9 win over Ryan Fitzpatrick and the St. Louis Rams. ... Washington S Brandon Meriweather, who had been sidelined with a left knee injury, had an interception but also hurt his right knee in the third quarter. He's expected to play against Dallas. ... Washington WR Pierre Garcon returned from a foot injury and caught three passes for 5 yards.

Ameren and real estate agent sued over allegedly contaminated land

An Illinois company has filed suit against the company and real estate agent that it claims sold it an environmentally contaminated piece of property that it has not been able to lease.

LJ Jordan claims it bought property from defendants Ameren and real estate agent William Phelps on Aug. 16, 2011. Before closing on the sale, LJ Jordan asked Phelps about the environmental condition of the property, according to the complaint filed Oct. 26 in St. Clair County Circuit Court. After Phelps reassured LJ Jordan that there were no environmental problems at the site, the company agreed to buy the property, the suit states.

LJ Jordan then found someone to lease the property and provided the company with an environmental property assessment report that Ameren had given LJ Jordan, the complaint says.

However, after looking at the documents, Foresight determined that they did not verify the property was free of contamination. It then conducted its own assessment, which revealed the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls and a potential problem with an underground diesel fuel storage tank, LJ Jordan claims.

Before Foresight agreed to lease the property from LJ Jordan, it requested that LJ Jordan remove the contamination and remediate the site, according to the complaint. At a considerable price, LJ Jordan hired a company to perform the desired work, the suit states.

?After the property was remediated as aforestated, but due to the risk of environmental contamination still being present on the property, Foresight advised it would lease the property only if plaintiff would agree to further remediate the property if so requested by foresight,? the complaint says.

Because LJ Jordan was not willing to make the changes Foresight sought, it claims it has not been able to lease the premises to Foresight or any other company.

LJ Jordan alleges negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and fraudulent concealment against Ameren, saying it misrepresented the extent to which the property had been studied and misrepresented the true nature of the property. LJ Jordan claims Ameren also violated the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practice Act.

It also alleges negligent misrepresentation against Phelps.

In its complaint, LJ Jordan is seeking a judgment of more than $200,000 in compensatory damages, plus $50,000 in statutory and common law damages, a judgment of more than $50,000, unspecified exemplary damages, attorney?s fees, costs and other relief the court deems just.

It will be represented by Dale M. Funk of O?Fallon.

St. Clair County Circuit Court case number: 12-L-576.

Psychological Musings: Moral Reasoning

Moral reasoning is a process humans undertake, usually on a daily basis. In essence, this type of practical reasoning is the process of determining right from wrong, and the criteria used to assess circumstances and make decisions regarding this determination varies widely across populations as well as genders (Santrock, 2008). The goal of this paper is to define moral reasoning and compare this cognitive process across genders and cultures.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Defining Moral Reasoning

Moral reasoning concerns one aspect of moral judgment, specifically the cognitive process through which one determines the difference between right and wrong in a given circumstance and makes decisions accordingly (Raaijmakers, Engels, & Van Hoof, 2005). Part of the process includes determining the morality as well as the consequences of the decision's repercussions. Kohlberg's theory suggests moral reasoning develops in stages characterized by "a sequence of qualitative changes in the way an individual thinks" (Santrock, 2008, p. 477).

????????????????????????????????????????? Comparing Moral Reasoning Across Genders

When considering moral reasoning across genders, it remains important to refrain from bias, stereotypes, and perpetuating gender myths (Wilgus, 2009). Although some research suggests remnants of evolutionary mechanisms exist in the basic reasoning of the genders, contemporary research suggests there exists a less gendered expectation for moral reasoning (Wilgus, 2009). It may be more appropriate to look at factors other than gender in the development of moral reasoning, such as socioeconomic class, cultural expectations, community norms, and individual family experience (Wilgus, 2009). Some research suggests women's stereotypical roles contribute to the underlying foundations of their moral reasoning, and the caring and nurturing of children and family affects their overall functioning and reasoning (Wilgus, 2009). A feminist standpoint regarding morality is born out of the stereotypical notion of women's work, specifically childcare and participating in roles that seem more submissive and passive than the typical roles played by their male counterparts (Gilligan, 2005). Along these lines, if men engage in typically female behavior such as caring for siblings during childhood, they may acquire a more feminine moral reasoning (Wilgus, 2009).

There has been a substantial amount of history in gendered moral reasoning (Gilligan, 2005). Even Freud was unable to find a clear sense of it in women, but neither could he determine women's definitive sense of self (Gilligan, 2005). Perhaps by perceiving gendered roles more diffusely than has been accomplished in the past, the idea of moral reasoning takes on a less gendered stereotype. Gilligan (2005) suggested that perceiving women from a male point of view skews the perception of moral reasoning in women. If perceived from a non-gendered approach, the differences between moral reasoning in both genders may be different, but perhaps not solely because of gender (Gilligan, 2001). Gilligan explains that differences in moral reasoning may be based on how individuals relate to others, their connectedness to others, and the strength with which they value interpersonal communication (Santrock, 2008).

?????????????????????????????????????? Cultural Differences in Moral Reasoning

"Cultural meaning systems vary around the world, and these systems shape children's morality" (Santrock, 2008, p. 482). Culture related differences in moral reasoning are not well understood at least partly because assessments may not be culturally valid, so may not provide adequate or genuine results (Carlo, McGinley, Roesch, & Kaminski, 2008). In observing family-related moral reasoning in Israel, it is apparent that it shapes the rules of family interactions differently than it governs family interactions in the United States (Ayalon, 2010). In Israel, non-conformity to norms and standards as it applies to elder care, places shame on family members (Ayalon, 2010). For example, caring for elder family members is routine in Israel, and placing them in the care of an establishment is considered shameful, whereas in the United States, elder family members are routinely placed in the care of homes for the elderly, or other types of privatized care.

In the United States, many articles suggest there is no shame in placing elderly family members in institutional care because the demands are too great for untrained individuals. In Israel, children are devoted to caring for their parents and elderly family members, and they are far more inclined to take responsibility for the extraordinary burdens that accompany caring for the elderly (Ayalon, 2010). When considering moral reasoning cross-culturally, it is prudent to understand how different cultures construct ethical systems, values, and their overlying world views (Haste & Abrahams, 2008). Cultural standards and norms are fundamental elements of psychological functioning, so when trying to understand the differences in moral reasoning and behavior, it is important to understand moral development as the result of the relationship between individuals and their culture (Haste & Abrahams, 2008). Cultural processes are created within a social environment wherein "meaning is scaffolded, negotiated and constructed" (Haste & Abrahams, 2008, p. 391).

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Conclusion

Moral reasoning is a cognitive human process that determines right from wrong. Cultural standards as well as gender identification are deeply entwined within the cognitive framework that supports moral reasoning (Haste & Abrahams, 2008). Perhaps of greatest salience is understanding when members of one culture observe and judge the moral reasoning of another, they perceive and make judgment through their own cultural lens and culturally expected moral reasoning (Haste & Abrahams, 2008).

Bill Moller/Steve Dale's Pet Photo Page: The Cutest Critters Ever ...

By Steve Dale, today at 8:00 am

Cami

How cute, how darling, how scrumptious is your pet?

Bill Moller of WGN Radio and myself want to see. So Bill set up a WGN Listener Pet Photo Page.

I appear most ?Saturday mornings at 10:30 AM on 720 WGN Radio with Bill, answering your pet behavior questions.

Bill decided that it's about time we see these pets you all call in about.

It all began with listener Cathy who called in about?Cami, an Italian Greyhound-Chihuahua mix. I said on-the-air that sounds like a "mighty cute dog." ?She didn't argue, readily agreeing that her dog is the cutest. Bill asked her to email Cami's image - she did....and that's how the pet photo page began.

Email images of your pet(s) to bmoller@wgnradio.com. ?After all, sharing images of your pets with the world is only fair.
