Dan Radakovich, director of athletics at Georgia Tech, was introduced Monday (Oct. 29) as Clemson University's new AD, concluding a three-month national search that drew more than 30 candidates.
In announcing the decision, Clemson President James F. Barker described Radakovich as the right person to build on the strong foundation created under the leadership of current AD Terry Don Phillips, who announced his plans to retire in August.
"Dan Radakovich understands the academic, business and competitive aspects of college athletics. He knows what it takes to win championships, he has a proven track record in fundraising and revenue growth, and he is committed to compliance and student-athlete welfare," Barker said. "He has been successful in the ACC and SEC, and he is known and respected among coaches and athletic directors nationwide."
Radakovich has served as Georgia Tech's AD since 2006, following a five-year tenure as senior associate athletics director at Louisiana State University - a period when LSU won a national championship in football. He previously served as athletics director at American University and associate athletics director at the University of South Carolina.
"I am truly honored to be joining the Clemson family, and I wish to express my appreciation to President Barker and the board of trustees for this incredible opportunity," he said. "Clemson is synonymous with success on and off the fields of competition, and I look forward to continuing the tradition of excellence."
Georgia Tech has had consistent success throughout its total sports program under Radakovich's guidance. The program has had 51 teams advance to either NCAA team tournament play or bowl games. That includes six sports (football, baseball, women's basketball, softball, women's tennis and golf) that have made the postseason every year he has been in Atlanta.
Eleven different sports have finished in the final top 25 of at least one major poll 27 times in those six years. That includes a national championship women's tennis program in 2007, just the second NCAA team title in Georgia Tech history. There have been 13 ACC championships celebrated in addition to nine regular season conference or division titles.
On an individual basis, the program boasts 51 first-team All-Americans in 10 different sports, 30 academic All-Americans, two National Coach of the Year selections and two National Player of the Year selections. The program has had 13 ACC Coach of the Year and 13 ACC Player of the Year choices as well.
In making the announcement, Barker paid tribute to outgoing AD Phillips for helping make the position "one of the best jobs in America by building a program that is financially healthy, academically and athletically successful, and has some of the nation's best facilities, coaches, compliance and academic support programs."
Clemson Coaches quotes on hiring of Dan
Jack Leggett's thoughts on AD hire:
"I'm very impressed with what Dan has had to say and I am excited about his enthusiasm for Clemson and his excitement and passion for what this challenge holds for him. I have known him some through his work on the ACC Baseball Committee and I have always had a lot of respect for the program at Georgia Tech. I think he has really good communication skills."
Head Football Coach Dabo Swinney
"The committee has done a tremendous job and took their task very seriously. I don't have a lot of working knowledge about Dan personally, but everything that I have heard of him is very positive.
"Paul Johnson has talked to me numerous times about his thoughts on Dan and they've all been very positive. I'm excited about getting started. I look forward spending time with Dan and talking about his experiences and helping him learn about Clemson and our program.
"He has a good background in raising revenue. There are a lot of positives that he will be able to carry from his career experiences, especially at Georgia Tech. I have a lot of respect for Georgia Tech and what they have been able to do throughout the years.
Head Men's Basketball Coach Brad Brownell:
"I certainly want to welcome Dan and his family to Clemson. I'm really excited to have a man with his kind of experience. He brings a wealth of experience from a many types of institutions. I'm eager to sit down and talk to him about the recent facilities at Georgia Tech, and how we can work together to put our vision for the future for Clemson basketball."
"His recent work at Georgia Tech with their new facility tells me he sees the significance of having first-class facilities for the student-athletes. If you want to be successful in the ACC in basketball, you've got to provide your student-athletes and coaches with the type of facility that will give them the opportunity to be at their best.
"The fact that he's done that in the past couple years with both a practice facility and an arena is exciting because he knows what it takes and how to get things done."
Head Women's Basketball Coach Itoro Coleman:
"I want to welcome Dan to Tigertown. With the experiences that he has, we are looking forward to his leadership. He spoke about the practice facility, which is something that's high on our agenda right now, and I am looking forward to sitting down to speak with him about it. I would love to see where he could take it. I'm excited about what can happen here under his leadership."

Pendle MP welcomes council bill-spreading
3:55pm Tuesday 22nd January 2013 in Pendle
PENDLE MP Andrew Stephenson has welcomed the decision to spread council tax payments over 12 months, rather than 10.
The new right to choose to pay in 12 monthly instalments comes into effect from April. Local taxpayers just need to contact their council to request the change.
Mr Stephenson said: "For the third year running the Government are offering to freeze council tax, which would benefit local people if taken up by Pendle Borough Council.
"Residents in Pendle have already saved £156 on a Band D bill thanks to Conservatives in Government freezing council tax.
"By making it possible for taxpayers to pay over 12 months rather than 10, households will be able to bring down their monthly outgoings and have more control over when they pay their bills."

Kind of like the World Boxing Classic. Could be a fairly good solution to the problem Strikeforce is facing in it's heavyweight division. You could have Fedor face Silva and Overeem vs. Werdum or any other combination. It could also be SF's excuse to go with Fedor/Overeem without angering almost every hardcore fan. First step is signing Fedor to a new contract, however.

Mark Cuban: Paid online writers are like paparazzi
"I'm a firm believer that their interests are not only not aligned with sports teams like the Mavs, but in fact are diametrically opposed." This is a little confusing to me. How are online guys any worse than print media? How are they "opposed" to the Mavs? Also, why all the double negatives?

Dr. Gottschalk is a pioneer researcher and author who has helped to shape modern medical imaging. He worked with the first clinically useful prototype Anger scintillation camera and performed the first dynamic camera studies of the brain and heart using technetium-99m. Dr. Gottschalk also made the first dynamic camera studies of the kidneys.
"Alex has made great contributions to radiology and nuclear medicine over a long career during which he has consistently published textbooks in nuclear medicine recognized for their great pedagogical value," said RSNA President Brian C. Lentle, MD. "He was alert and recognized the coming impact of magnetic resonance imaging in the early days of that technology. As one of the principal investigators in the prospective investigation of pulmonary embolism diagnosis (PIOPED) study, Alex greatly helped in our understanding of the natural history and diagnosis of pulmonary embolism." Dr. Gottschalk is currently the chair of the Nuclear Medicine working group in PIOPED II.
For his numerous and varied contributions to radiology, RSNA is privileged to present its Gold Medal to Dr. Gottschalk.
"It is awesome to become a Gold Medalist in this society, a group that contains many of my own role models," said Dr Gottschalk.
After earning his bachelor's degree magna cum laude from Harvard College where he was Phi Beta Kappa and his medical degree from Washington University Medical School in St. Louis where he was Alpha Omega Alpha, Dr Gottschalk completed an internship at the University of Illinois Research and Educational Hospitals and a radiology residency at the University of Chicago.
He began his career as a research associate at Donner Laboratory at Lawrence Radiation Lab at the University of California, Berkeley. He then spent a decade at the University of Chicago, where he helped form the university's first section of nuclear medicine. While at the University of Chicago, he became professor of radiology, chief of the nuclear medicine section, chairman of the Department of Radiology, and director of the Argonne Cancer Research Hospital.
As professor of diagnostic radiology, Dr. Gottschalk made the move to Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn. At Yale, working with colleagues from cardiology, he established a pioneering cardiovascular nuclear medicine operation. He was also director of the section of nuclear medicine, vice-chairman of the Department of Diagnostic Radiology, and director of the diagnostic radiology residency program. Currently, he is professor of diagnostic radiology at Michigan State University in East Lansing.
A dedicated researcher, Dr. Gottschalk is author or coauthor of nearly 400 publications including peer-reviewed scientific articles, abstracts, books, and book chapters. For a decade, he was editor-in-chief of the Yearbook of Nuclear Medicine.
Dr. Gottschalk has served on committees for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, as well as national committees for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the National Institute of General Medicine Sciences, and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education where he was chairman of the RRC for diagnostic radiology.
Of his numerous awards, the ones he identifies as most dear to him include the gold medal of the Association of University Radiologists (AUR), and being named one of America's Ten Outstanding Young Men of 1967 by the Jaycees.An RSNA member since 1965, Dr. Gottschalk has been an RSNA second vice-president and chairman of the nuclear medicine subcommittee of the RSNA Scientific Program Committee.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - It's a routine for most of us. You do your shopping, then unload your groceries. That's what Betty Campbell was doing in the parking lot outside Save-A-Lot. But once she got inside her car, the situation became anything but routine.
"Once she got into her vehicle and secured her seatbelt, she was approached by a black male who then attempted to force her out of the car," said Albany Police Media Manager Phyllis Banks-Whitley
The man pulled the 61-year-old Albany woman from her car. Terrified, she could only watch as the crook sped down Highland Avenue in her Ford Focus. Campbell called 911, and police began their search for the suspect.
"A description on the suspect, he's a black male, bald. He was last seen wearing a yellow shirt and blue jeans," said Banks-Whitley.
Campbell only suffered a minor injury to her hand, and was treated by EMS at the scene. The crime happened at 9:30 in the morning -- proof that danger doesn't just lurk after dark.
"It is very scary. But what we urge citizens to do is to not let their guard down even during the day. Always watch your surroundings. Watch yourself as you go to your car. Look for suspicious people. And if you can, try not shop alone. It's always good to shop in groups," said Banks-Whitley.
Police are still looking for the stolen car 2001 Ford Focus. It's a 2-door hatchback with Georgia tag number 6390 AAA.
If have any information on this vehicle you're asked to the Albany Police of Crime Stoppers at 229-436-TIPS. A reward is possible for anyone with information leading to an arrest.
Police are reviewing video from nearby surveillance cameras to see if any of them caught the crook on tape.

White River Junction, Vermont - May 9, 2011
Was it murder or self defense? Jurors will decide the fate of a Springfield man accused of 2nd degree murder. Trial is now underway in a case that happened nearly three years ago.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys both agree that 27-year-old Kyle Bolaski fired the fatal shot that killed Boston native Vincent Tamburello. But, was it a crime? On Monday Tamburello's parents and brother -- MTV reality star Chris Tamburello, better known as "CT" -- were on hand for opening arguments where prosecutors described how the shooting took place.
The incident happened on a field in Chester in broad daylight while crowds gathered for a weekend softball tournament. According to prosecutors, Tamberullo showed up at the field to settle a score from a fight the day before. He was armed with a stun-gun, a knife, and a splitting maul. Prosecutors says Tamburello rushed a group -- that included Bolaski-- with the ax in hand and ended up setting his sights on Bolaski's truck.
That's when prosecutors say Bolaski took out a 30-06 riffle and fired two rounds, first hitting Tamburello in the leg and then in the back. Defense attorney Kevin Griffin says its a simple act of self defense.
But it's the second shot that the state says went beyond just self defense. Prosecutors say Tamburello was wounded and retreating so the shot to the back was, in fact, murder. Bolaski is also charged with aggravated assault for allegedly striking Tamburello in the face with the butt end of the riffle as he lay bleeding to death. Details that this father, Vincent Tamburello Sr., says are hard to re-live.
"There is such pain and anguish hearing everything again and all, that we just can't imagine sitting through this for so long, but we know we have to," he said.
The trial is scheduled to last two weeks and the state plans to call over a dozen witnesses. If convicted on the second degree murder charge, Bolaski could spend at least 20 years behind bars.

It's is chilly and very fall-like outside and that calls for a fall drink. I can't wait to try this fig bubbly soon!
;) and :)
Signature cocktails have been a trend for awhile in weddings and events. Some couples choose drinks that match the color scheme, while others choose to feature the bride's favorite and the groom's favorite. Another way to choose your signature cocktails is to pick drinks that relate to the bride and groom's hometowns.
Since I live in Boston, I have to share one of my favorite cocktails in the city: the Boston Tea Party. I discovered this at The Marliave in Downtown Crossing and the mixture of tequila, earl grey tea, lemon and ginger beer is amazing.
Not big on cocktails? Try featuring beers local to the bride or groom's hometown.
What drinks are you featuring at your wedding?
;) and :)
This is so summery, but it sounds so yummy I just had to share! If you're looking for a summer signature drink for your wedding, this is definitely a great option.

Complaints have been piling up in Better Business Bureau files about Now or Never Travel, a Westlake business that sold travel club memberships. Over 40 complainants since the beginning of this year report Now or Never Travel has not lived up to promises and owes members tens of thousands of dollars in promised refunds and rebates.
Now or Never Travel first came to BBB's attention in 2011 when it began pitching its travel club membership. Consumers were offered two free airline tickets and a $100 gas voucher to attend sales presentations held at local hotels. During what some complainants described as high pressure sales presentations lasting up to 2 hours, consumers were offered membership in a travel club that, according to company representatives, would save them hundreds of dollars on hotels, airfare, etc. Prices started at $7,000 - $9,000 and were discounted down to as low as $2,000- $3,000 to reluctant buyers who joined on the spot. Initial complaints to BBB indicate the "free" items were not "free" and were only available after paying fees.
More recent complaints on file at BBB state that Now or Never Travel has failed to provide promised "rebates" of $100 for each airfare purchase and 25% on hotel expenses.
Some complainants also told BBB that the business has not honored its promise of a refund of their membership fees if they didn't use the club for one year or requested to cancel for any reason.
Information provided to BBB by Now or Never Travel listed Richard Kenney and Johnathan Robinson as co-owners. The business has not responded to BBB complaints since February, 2013. BBB has referred consumers to the Ohio Attorney General for assistance.

First off, thanks to the class Cowboys fans who came to Field Gulls and made their congratulations and compliments. This is not a gloating post, for those not familiar with the feature, it's just a look at how the opposition reacts after they lose to the Seahawks. Admittedly, it hasn't happened often recently, but that's what makes it funny when a supposedly superior team loses to a team that hasn't had a winning record since 2007.
As usual, we start off with key plays and how Field Gulls and Blogging the Boys reacted. (Click to enlarge each image)
Not King Felix fumbles opening kickoff
Jeron Johnson scores on blocked punt
Brandon Browner gets his first INT of the year
Russell Wilson to Anthony McCoy for the touchdown
Beast Mode ends the game
Post-Game: What a Disaster
Total domination. That is the only way to describe what happened yesterday. The Seahawks were better in every phase of the game. The Cowboys flat out got their butts kicked.
I'm officially done with Felix Jones. He set the tone for the day by fumbling the opening kickoff. And, on the final play of the game, he had nothing but green grass and blockers in front of him and he just tripped over his own feet to end the game. He isn't the only reason the Cowboys lost, but he certainly deserves a big part of the blame.
I have lost all respect for Golden Tate. Sure, he lit up Sean Lee on that hit. But his celebration after a cheap shot was one of the worst displays of poor sportsmanship you'll ever see. I think he should be suspended not only for the hit but for the disgusting display he put on after the play while Sean Lee was laying on the ground. Golden Tate should be ashamed of his behavior but something tells me he isn't. - Romo2Witten from Defending the Star.
Post-Game: Inconsistency is Back
I'm sure like all fans, we are just pissed off beyond belief and with plenty reason. The Cowboys let us down, simple as that. Here we are thinking the Cowboys turned the corner after a great win on the road against the champs, but then they don't even show up in Seattle. So much for thinking the Cowboys were returning to the 90′s, no these are the same ole Cowboys – inconsistent. What a joke of a performance and inexcusable.
First order of business should be the release of Felix Jones, he set the tempo with his bumbling fumble and he just is not any good in any phase of the game, he is a liability and today he killed us and we never recovered. You straight up suck Felix. Coach Garrett needs to send a message and cut this bum, there's no reason to keep him on the team. Go ahead and promote Dunbar behind Murray and Tanner. - Joe Rodriguez via CowboysBlog.net
Post-Game Video: I Told Y'all Not To Overlook Them
Cowboys 7 Seahawks 27: I Told Y'all Not To Overlook Them (via rangerscowboys3209)
I admit, I thought Seattle would get blown out. Not because the defense would have a terrible showing, but I felt the offense would continue it's problematic play and commit costly turnovers and sacks en route to short fields for Dallas against an eventually tiring defense. That didn't happen. Dallas made the costly turnovers on offense and special teams and Seattle dominated them whilst making zero mistakes. The pass rush only had 1 sack but they were on Romo's case constantly. Russell Wilson did enough to win and didn't make any damaging errors. Beast Mode was Beast Mode. The o-line held up against DaMarcus Ware. It was one of the most complete showings by the Seahawks in the Pete Carroll era and while this is a tad hyperbolic, it probably saved the season. An 0-2 start is not a death sentence, but with the NFC West's improvement (and the NFC as a whole) it sure would feel like one.
Green Bay is next Monday, and boy oh boy would it be nice to win that one and really get excited.

The Illinois Department of Corrections reports that six correctional centers out of 29 IDOC facilities are involved in flu treatment.
According to the IDOC, there are 31 confirmed cases of H1N1 flu, out of about 48,750 inmates in the system.
With the number low, the IDOC said they are doing everything possible to keep it that way, and is following instructions from Illinois Department of Public Health and county health departments. They say they are taking an extremely cautious approach.
All confirmed cases, and even those with only symptoms, are immediately isolated, according to the IDOC. They say 25 inmates with symptoms have tested negative for the flu. All housing units with either confirmed cases or symptoms are quarantined and locked down.
The IDOC said intense cleaning and disinfecting takes place multiple times daily.
H1N1 flu is not unusual this year in Illinois. There are many cases, according to the IDPH and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
All inmates receive flu shots upon intake by IDOC, unless declined. Shots distributed this season do target H1N1, anticipated by state and national health authorities to be present much more often in 2013-'14.
Five correctional centers are on partial Level 1 Lockdown; only one is on full-facility Level 1 Lockdown. All lockdowns are precautionary/medical, none for security reasons.
IDOC said the following totals for "with symptoms" includes those that have tested negative.
Graham Correctional Center
Lincoln Correctional Center
Taylorville Correctional Center

It has been a freezing snowy winter all across the United States this chilly season. The temperatures have been unusually cold and the snow fall has set records in several places. Many of us summer festival and tour lovers needed some refuge after our outrageous New Year's Eve experiences. The Disco Biscuits love to play music for their adoring fan base in Colorado, just like every other band.
In 2012 String Cheese Incident threw their first ever New Years Eve Celebration in Colorado. It was a grand event that left Colorado fans hopeful for another hometown showdown.
Do you believe in augurs? As a bookworm and English teacher, I always look for them in literature and instruct my students to do the same. Omens of good things to come and harbingers of impending doom are common tropes in fiction. But the portents woven into those narratives are intentional and premeditated – mechanisms to clue the reader in to future events. Real life is another matter entirely.
Everyone was excited about this show in the big arena. It was the pinnacle of the Inferno. I was most excited about the space that the 1st Bank Center provides for the fans. Most require a lot of dancing room at Disco Biscuit shows. This would allow us to dance, see the lights at a wider scope, and also mingle with everyone including those who were not able to attend the other shows.
Many people love the holidays for different reasons. Christmas means family, friends, giving and receiving. Here in Colorado its usually around when our skiing gets pretty good and things tend to quiet down as students are off of classes and folks get a few days away from their jobs to spend time with those who matter. For many, the best time about the Holidays in New Years Eve. No matter what your up to, it needs to be exceptional. In Colorado, New Years usually means great music.
It really has been quite a journey for Colorado's String Cheese Incident. There are small and humble beginnings for these fellas who have now gone on to influence a solid generation of bluegrass-fusion bands. Michael Kang, Bill Nershi, Michael Travis, and Keith Moseley talk about how in the beginning they would play unplugged next to the ski lifts at Telluride and Crested Butte, Colorado, hoping to score a free lift ticket and gain some local clout.
A New Year's Eve Party is much like the Super Bowl. A highly anticipated hyped event that rarely lives up to preceding tension. The event must live up to the crowds expectations and tote a larger than expected production. If you don't end up there, or if game time doesn't deliver the goods, disappointment is naturally amidst. Luckily us Coloradan's here on the Front Range we have a super rare opportunity to end our year with; the chance to spend three nights with an iconic Colorado musical entity.

Evolution and Choice(Free will)
|Share this thread:
Apr8-10, 09:22 PM
This has been giving me head aches for the past so many days and it reflected in the "Random Evolution" thread too. But i think it deserves a new thread as googling for "evolution free will site:physicsforums.com" doesn't give satisfactory results.
So here is the question. Does the theory of evolution support conscious choice? By choice, i don't mean an illusion of choice. Is there an independent entity that exists without any kind of attachment to other parts of the body; that has the ability to make a choice? Or was Einstein right in saying that "Man can do what he wants but he cant want what he wants"-> meaning that this apparent choice is just an illusion. I read Sylas saying in the Random Evolution thread that evolution doesn't say anything about it. How could it not? If there's free will, it might very well change the way evolution works as it changes the trajectory of a organism every single moment. Genes would direct a way, freewill reviews this and either approves or rejects it-> millions of such yes-no decisions per minute. This new result approved by the freewill will have to be coded back to the genes. (An interesting example will be our initial lethargy to go to the gym. The freewill (if at all it exists) strongly rebukes this instinct and directs the body toward the gym. At a later point of time, the lethargic instinct ceases to be. Maybe a kind of pleasure develops too.)
Was this decision to rebuke and turn down the instinct, independent(freewill) or is it deterministic?
I hope i haven't violated any PF rules here.

In another thread somebody asked if blondes would die out because the blonde gene is recessive.
But if gentlemen continue to prefer blondes, marry blondes and have lots of little blonde babies then that's evolution and for modern man it's a bigger effect than any vitamin D advantage having fair skin gives you in northern latitudes.

Evolution and Choice(Free will)
Social intelligence is an evolutionary driver in a social animal like the hominids (and apes generally).
Tool-use, division of labour, general planning capabilities would also be clear evolutionary drivers.
But not "freewill". At least not biological evolution. Yes, a case can be made for social or cultural evolution.
The notion of freewill arose in ancient Greek philosophy along with the idea of individualism and democracy more generally.
It was a social idea, but ironically the idea was to put the individual and his/her smart choice making in an abstract rather than social context. You acted not because everyone around you told you so (as happens in "primitive" societies even today), but because you were taken to be an autonomous choice-maker acting within an abstract backdrop of emotions and principles.
So you were motivated by loyalty or bravery. Or you succumbed to greed or lust. You acted according to justice and fairness. Or else you freely chose not to.
It is all really a big social game of pretend. But it was also a very powerful way to teach people to think. It unleashed a lot of individual creativity.
Of course, this game of the "unshackled individual unbeholden to anything except true feeling and philosophical principle" has its downsides. A lot of people these days use it to rationalise some rather anti-social behaviour.
It also has the unfortunate effect of sparking endless hand-wringing debate about whether we are really as free as we think. The debates made worse by roping in the determinism of Newtonian physics and the "personal relationship with god" trick played so neatly by proselytizing religions.
Taking the OP example of going to the gym, all that happens is that we live complex lives and have a variety of choices with a variety of paybacks over a variety of timescales.
The body does have an evolved motivation not to waste energy. So wanting to sit around is natural enough. Hunter/gatherers never felt they had to take up jogging.
Modern man knows the health problems caused by an unnaturally sedentary lifestyle and can imagine the consequences. But the consequences are far off, so do not feel urgent in the way that a hungry belly feels for a hunter/gatherer. In making reasoned trade-offs, it is easy to say I'll go to the gym tomorrow (and work out twice as hard, promise).
This is just evidence that we are socially liberated individuals free to make choices, as opposed to freely (ie: undeterminedly) making choices.
On the other hand, people join gym classes, employ personal trainers, tell other people about their plans to get fit, and make use of many other social reinforcers of their behaviour.
Being told what to do (especially in a contextual peer pressure fashion) is actually still quite a powerful determiner of our actions - because we indeed evolved as such social creatures.
It is easier to see how we evolved to conform then how we evolved to be individually free and self-actualising or whatever.

An unpublished note by Darwin himself
oh I gather the site belongs to a conservatist christian group. Anyway i hope they wouldnt have made up Darwin's note.
Apr9-10, 07:18 AM
There are more concerns here than I see anyone addressing, and more than I can address at present. Also more than I can find cogent answers for!
Consider two kinds of evolutionary selective adaptation:
1: Natural selection
2: Teleological selection (something like what is often called "artificial selection")
These two entail and require different answers.
Now, think of what you mean by "will".
And what you mean by "free".
And what you mean by "free will" (watch it! You can't just concatenate the previous two to get a useful answer!)
Write down your answers and store them somewhere you wont be able to tear them up.
Now, get hold of a copy of a book called "The Mind's I" by D. Hofstadter and D. Dennett. Read it and make sense of it. It is a terrific book, readable, but if you read it quickly and think you understand it, you may be right.
Just may be.
Clear and non-technical and friendly it certainly is, but it is a hard read; not to be tackled when you don't have a lot of time to spare. It is full of ideas, challenging ideas, ideas that raise questions, and there are no crib sheets, no worked examples in the appendix.
Then try the questions again and compare the results with what you had written and stored.
If you are not up to all this, best steer clear. Strong meat for weak teeth or full mouths!
You have been warned.

Another book that presents the compatibilist account of human freedom (an account that is fully compatible with evolution and determinism) is "Freedom Evolves" by Daniel Dennett. In this view, freedom is the ability to predict the outcomes of conscious actions on inanimate objects and act to avoid certain consequences. This perspective actually presupposes determinism, since this form of freedom needs the (statistical) predictability of the natural world.

You don't like my scenario? How do you prove that the trap doesn't have consciousness and free will?
How do you know I don't?
Apr12-10, 06:36 AM
How do you prove that the trap doesn't have consciousness and free will?
The accumulation of my past experiences suggests that. I have left my specks in the terrace a million times and everytime i go up to find it, i see it faithfully waiting for me at exactly the same location. So is the case with other objects.
Apr12-10, 07:31 AM
Maybe a better question for the OP is: "free will" is generally a religious concept; "free will vs. predestination", or one for Quantum Physics (in a more general sense), so why couch evolution in these terms?
Wow, I get to post this twice in one morning....
@apeiron: The concept of free will has been around for a lot longer than Greece; for instance much Cuneform is concerned with legalisms regarding choices made by an individual. There are many more examples... although free will and "liberty and freedom" are very different. Your point about Solopism and the like is well taken, but that may be an issue of ability to cope with underlying illness or dysfunction. We can't "fix" people with APD (sociopaths), and when they become dangerous, we can't let them be free, even though it's clear to science at this point, that they are not CAPABLE of much or any impulse control or empathy. It really isn't hard to imagine a society in which such people are "corrected" through (whatever brand) of psychcosurgery... if not here in the USA, somewhere. I suspect we'll both be alive to see some of it too.
Of course, to me that smacks of killing person A, and replacing them with B, albeit in the same body. Now, if we're talking about a rapist, pedophile, etc Paraphilias, then I can see the people actually WANTING to be "fixed". However, how do you "fix" someone who is schizophrenic, while retaining who they are? This is the kind of thing that could be simple treatment OR the equivalent of murder/lobotomy. When it comes to people taking responsibilty, it's one thing to recognize the source of pro or anti -social behaviours... it's another to recognize the necessity to keep an organized and fucntional society. Then again, people who believe that a god ordains all actions still want people in jail, executed, burned at the stake (now and in the past). Clearly people don't want to consider the notion until something other than jail or execution is an option. After all, what kind of people are we, if in fact they DON'T have as much lattitude in their thinking or behaviour... and we still killl them or put them in prison? We'd be both helpless to do otherwise, AND we'd feel terrible. Cognitive dissonance arises, sides are taken... yadda yadda.
@sganesh88: That's really convincing evidence, but not PROOF. see: "Solopism" for one view, although it's not whine I ascribe to.
Apr12-10, 09:12 AM
No one has yet so much as scratched the surface of such existentialist questions; certainly your criterion doesn't help much for crystals, scallions, scallops, scarabs, shadows, or geometric lathes.
Your mousetrap with its wontful spring and willful trigger will sit silently hating mice for lifetimes of increasing malice, till it will gleefully smash a heedless finger in lieu. Surely that is evidence enough of sentient spite?
As FD said, your supporting evidence might be persuasive, but as proof, it is about as cogent as saying that something is or is not sentient because you say it is. Those who said to the wood, "Awake", to the dumb stone, "Arise, it shall teach!" and those who replied: "Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it;" they had just as strong a case for or against as anything that you have said. The proof works both ways.
That mousetrap could lie doggo for as long as your specs, and still surprise your careless toe. "But in contrast, my faithful specs would not do that to me," you protest? Just wait till you tread on them in the dark, then let's hear you say it again while binding up the bleeding!
The so-called inanimate objects hate people who insult and contemn them so viciously; it is too late to repent, to beg forgiveness; as soon as you relax your vigilance, they will STRIKE!!! Shin and finger, eye and ear, digestion and dermis, all will suffer in their season!
What better proof could anyone ask? The converse of Turing's test is as compelling as its obverse!

Apr12-10, 12:13 PM
From the compatibilist perspective, humans obviously are not free in the libertarian sense of the term, but Dennett argues that it can accommodate all the varieties of freedom wanted. He further argues that we do not really want libertarian freedom anyways, because that would mean, according to Dennett, that our actions where not determined by who we are, what we know about the world or our moral character, which would be a horrible nightmare.
The book also had some very interesting criticism of the methodology and theoretical assumptions of Benjamin Libet experiment(s), a largely disinterested discussion of libertarian freedom as well as a very general criticism of Cartesian materialism. Granted, Freedom Evolves is a popular account, but I thought that it covered the topic well. It also connects to some of his earlier works, especially Consciousness Explained and Elbow Room.

The idea of the individual as standing apart from society and convention came into strong focus in philosophical debate with Socrates. But perhaps you can cite a philosopher who was as influential from some earlier time or culture.
If you merely mean that all earlier complex societies, with their ranks of kings, nobles, scribes, freemen and slaves, would have created an awareness of relative social freedoms and rights, then of course I could not disagree. But where was it a metaphysical issue?
BTW, "concert vs module" - the distributed vs modular debate is best viewed in terms of scalefree networks and other powerlaw models of plasticity~stability.
The tendency to clump (look like a module) would be in exact equilibrium with the tendency to spread (look distributed) if the brain operates along dissipative structure or scalefree connectivity principles. Plasticity~stability would be self-simlar or fractal over all scales.
One illustration of this principle is the fact that the human brain scaled up in powerlaw fashion during evolution (so a fact relevant to this thread too). Some researchers argue, for example, that the prefrontal lobes are not out-sized in humans, merely that the whole brain was scaled up in (scalefree) proportion and as the highest level, most plastic, region, the prefrontal had to be larger to maintain the general equilibrium balance.
This would argue that we are not special because of enlarged prefrontal lobes, but just because we have overall, in proportion, larger brains.
There are many other findings along these lines, including the exaggeration of lateralisation in humans, and the greater size of foveal representation in the visual cortex.
Apr12-10, 04:14 PM
Of course, maybe a better question is whether a lack of evidence that is as proximal and understandable as Greek Philosophy, means that societies didn't consider free will. What makes you believe that the assumption wasn't that people were free from total external (metaphysical) control? The popularity of many concepts, and the amount of data recorded by the Greeks and then Romans (not to mention the Roman "adoption" of much that was Greek) makes for a very accurate historical picture. That is more unusual than not.

Am I wrong that the dialogues of Socrates are a critical text handed down to us that document some actual philosophical stance? Even today, we are influenced by tales like Socrates drinking the hemlock. But I cannot detect any trace of Summerian belief in the modern social construction of freewill.
You just seem to be trying to score points against me here (as usual). You pick on a small part of what I say and try to correct me, while failing apparently to understand the overall argument.
Freewill is a social construction. That Western cultural construction has living roots in Greek and Roman philosophy. We still use the same arguments, the same tales. The issue here is not whether the Summerians might have had intellectual priority here somehow, but the origins of the western mythology of freewill as an innate psychological faculty.
(Though, yes. it would be historically interesting if you could indeed present the texts that show the Summerians exactly foreshadowed the later arguments of atomists, Socrates, etc.)
I haven't got my files with me now, but later I will post a Lancet Neurology column I wrote on exactly this - how bird brains compare to mammals as an example of convergent evolution.
How many times must you discover that I in fact have done my homework before I open my mouth?

The UFC on FX 4 betting lines are out, and I like what I see initially. There's not a ton that I like on the main card (I know Guida fans are going to get mad, but he really does deserve to be a major dog), other than maybe a small bet on Spencer Fisher. Cub Swanson could possibly be worth a small bet at +170 as well. But it's the undercard that looks good to me. Hatsu Hioki at -225 looks tasty, as does Matt Brown at that price. I'd put a tiny amount on C.J. Keith at +260 too. My biggest bets will probably be on Joey Gambino and Nick Catone though.
Anyway, here's a rundown of the lines. Not sure why there's no Pague/Stone line yet, but I'm sure there will be soon.

Main Card (FX)
Gray Maynard (10-1-1, 1 NC) -340 vs. Clay Guida (29-12) +260

Brian Ebersole (49-14-1, 1 NC) -220 vs. T.J. Waldburger (15-6) +170
Ross Pearson (13-5) -220 vs. Cub Swanson (16-5) +170

Supporters and family members of a murdered teen from Hope Mills met with the Cumberland County District Attorney on Tuesday morning after holding a silent protest outside the courthouse.
The protestors said they want a higher bond and a first degree murder charged for the teen accused of killing Danielle Locklear who was a 9th-grade student at South View High School. They held signs reading "Justice for Dannie" and "We Demand 1st Degree," among other similar messages.
Je'Michael Malloy, 17, who is accused of choking Locklear to death and Dominic Lock, 18, who is accused of helping Malloy dump Locklear's body in a river, were scheduled to have court hearings Tuesday. The D.A. and attorneys determined the appearances were not necessary, so neither defendant was in court.
The family members and supporter met in the D.A.'s office to deliver a petition asking the D.A. to charge Malloy with first degree murder. Family members said the petition had about 6,000 signatures.
D.A. Billy West said the meeting also allowed his office staff to explain the long legal process to the family. He said the next steps in the case could take six months to a year.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Ś A teenager has been charged in an alleged assault on the teenage daughter of Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter.
Authorities say itÆs in connection with an altercation after a track meet in the cityÆs East Mount Airy section on April 18. Court records allege 18-year-old Ciarra Ryan punched Olivia Nutter, a senior at Masterman High School, in the head and face and pulled her hair.
Police say Ryan surrendered Monday. SheÆs charged with simple assault and recklessly endangering another person; a telephone number for her could not immediately be located.
The mayorÆs spokesman, Mark McDonald, says there was an ōincidentö and the mayorÆs daughter is fine.
In 2007, when Nutter was running for his first term, a then 12-year-old Olivia Nutter achieved local fame starring in a TV commercial for her father.

|Cop-Turned-Doc a Blessing
|Written by Mark Nichols
As an undercover cop, Pete Gutierrez helped bust some of South Florida's biggest and dangerous drug dealers.
These days Gutierrez, now Dr. Gutierrez, is running a clinic for the homeless, continuing his lifelong mission of public service.
In his old job, the questions Pete asked about drug activity or use were designed to produce an arrest and improve the quality of life for the residents of Miami.
Today those questions help him figure out the best course of treatment for some of the most vulnerable members of society - men, women and children with no place else to go.
In a profile of Dr. Gutierrez that ran recently in the Miami Herald, reporters got a chance to see how the Doc uses his experience on the street as a cop to diagnose and treat homeless patients, many of whom suffer from psychiatric disorders and drug dependency.
Dr. Gutierrez sees a patient for the first time. He asks the patient about his drug history but assures him that he will not be judged. Then he waits patiently and looks away. That's a technique Gutierrez learned on the streets as an undercover cop.
The patient starts talking, slowly at first. The 56-year-old, Mr. Harris, tells the doctor he started smoking marijuana in 1988 before moving on to heroin and crack cocaine. He has Hepatitis C. And his jaw still hurts from a street fight that took place months ago.
"The doctor convinced me that you have to be honest with them about your situation if you want help,'' Harris softly says after his examination, his first in years. "It ain't easy telling stuff.''
Unlike most medical professionals that know nothing about life on the street, Dr. Gutierrez can use his vast knowledge gained as a police officer to break down some of the barriers that typically keep homeless people from getting the help they so badly need.
Pete says the newly opened health center has treated about 60 patients in the six-week period that the facility has been open.
"So much of our clients' pasts has brought them here,'' Gutierrez told the Herald in a recent interview.
"They have lived tough lives that have taken a toll on their minds, souls and bodies. We are here to help them get as healthy as possible. Because someone is poor does not mean they should have to deal with below-standard healthcare.''
Pete's career as a street cop speaks for itself. The husband and father of three was a decorated City of Miami police officer for 11 years before he quit to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor.
The cop/doctor combination made him a no-brainer choice to run the health clinic.
"This is someone who came here with nothing . . . and served our community as a police officer and a doctor," says Ron Brummitt, president of the mission.
Pete joined the Miami Police Department in 1978 after emigrating from Cuba as a boy.
Within four years, he was working undercover with an elite, 12-member narcotics squad working the deadly streets of Miami during what is now referred to as the "cocaine cowboys'' era.
His ability to read people and charisma made him a natural for the work.
"Working undercover, he had a great gift of gab. But he was also really cool, not bringing too much attention to himself. He wasn't loud or rambunctious but a good actor,'' says Miami Police Maj. Armando Guzman.
Between June 1983 and May 1984, Gutierrez had made more than 100 arrests and confiscated $4 million in narcotics and $500,000 in cash and counterfeit bills.
Some of the more famous cases he worked included the arrest of Rosie Ruiz, the dethroned Boston Marathon champion who cheated to complete the race.
She later moved to South Florida and was caught brokering a coke deal in secretly taped phone conversations with Gutierrez. He also took down Fidel Castro's sister, Juanita, for selling prescription pills over the counter at her drug store.
After 18 months working in internal affairs, he left the job in order to finish medical school in the Dominican Republic. He then practiced family medicine in Puerto Rico before returning to South Florida in 2005.
Last year, after meeting with Brummitt and Annette Gibson, a professional colleague, he joined the effort to open the clinic.
"Pete is a mover and a shaker, but most importantly, he is a physician. He was able to give us the clarity and understanding of how to put together a clinic,'' says Gibson, a professor of nursing at Miami Dade College who coordinates the rescue mission's healthcare services. "He came at absolutely the right time.''
Tito Oropesa, 63, a two-pack-a-day smoker who used to smoke crack cocaine, walked into the clinic to get a rash checked out. Gutierrez diagnosed the rash immediately.
"This looks like shingles,'' Gutierrez said. After telling the patient he wanted to do a more thorough exam, he did something that most folks wouldn't when dealing with a "bum" or a "pan-handler." Dr. Gutierrez treated the man like a human being.
"In the meantime (before the more thorough exam), I need you to slow down with the cigarettes.''
Another patient is Willie Rice. Twenty-seven days out of prison, homeless and scared, he came to the clinic with a bag of empty prescription bottles and complaining of stomach cramps, blood in his vomit, and soreness around old knife wounds.
After he was examined, Rice walked out with appointments for gastritis, prostatitis, and glucose and cholesterol tests. He also left with something just as valuable: hope.
"This place is such a blessing. I don't have to go far to find out what's wrong with me,'' says Rice, 48. "I was just going to pray on my pain to go away.''
Dr. Gutierrez may not be a miracle worker, but the former lawman is undoubtedly the Lord's answer to the prayers of people like Willie Rice.

A lot of good things happened for some of the Blues' top prospects today.
Russia won the Gold medal at the World Juniors by beating Canada 5-3. The Canadians went into the third period with a 3-0 lead, and surrendered five unanswered goals to Russia in the final frame. Vladimir Tarasenko captained the Russian squad in the WJC, and scored the game-tying goal tonight before getting the primary assist on the game-winning goal.
Tarasenko finished the tournament with a 4-7-11 scoring line (plus-8, 0 PM, 1 PPG, 2 GWG) in seven games, but was left off the All-Tournament Team.
Earlier in the day, Sebastian Wännström tallied an assist on the first goal of the game for Sweden, but it was not enough as the Swedes dropped the Bronze medal game to Team USA by a 4-2 score. Wännström finished the tournament with a 2-3-5 scoring line (plus-1, 2 PM, 0 PPG, 2 GWG) in six games.
Meanwhile, down on the farm... the Peoria Rivermen claimed first place in the AHL West Division, and the Western Conference, by outscoring the San Antonio Rampage 7-4 at Carver Arena in Peoria.
The Rampage twice took a two-goal lead over the Rivermen with goals in quick succession on rookie Jake Allen, 57 seconds apart in the first period for a 2-0 lead, and then 1:36 apart in the second period to give the Rampage a 4-2 lead before the Rivermen came storming back with five unanswered tallies.
Just over a minute after San Antonio took their second two-goal lead of the night, AHL contracted player Derek Nesbitt brought the Rivermen back to life with his second goal of the game and 11th of the season. Nesbitt brought the hats down from the stands with a power-play goal at 15:45 of the second to send the game into the third knotted at 4.
Prospects Tyler Shattock and Stefan Della Rovere sandwiched third-period tallies around Nesbitt's fourth goal of the game and team-leading 13th of the season (in just 21 games played since coming up from the ECHL Gwinnett (GA) Gladiators) for the final margin of victory.
Allen raised his record to 14-3-0 in his rookie season, and maintained a GAA under two (1.74) and a save percentage of better than 94% (94.7) despite allowing four goals on 28 shots.
If the AHL Playoffs were to commence today, Peoria would host the Oklahoma City Barons in the first round. The upcoming week may be a small taste of that for both clubs, as the Rivermen will play their next four games against the new Edmonton Oilers' farm club. The Rivs will fly to Oklahoma City for a two-game set with the Barons on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 7 and 8, before returning home to host OKC in back-to-back games on Thursday and Friday, Jan. 13 and 14. The Barons will, however, play an intervening game against Lake Erie on Sunday, Jan. 9, before heading up to Peoria.

Gretchen Benbenek has a lot of reasons for being excited about her first trip to the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Guthrie, Okla.
One is that every event winner receives a $20,000 voucher toward the purchase of a new Dodge truck.
"I need a new truck, so I'm really looking forward to that," said the 2000 graduate of Missoula Loyola High School.
Benbenek is one of four barrel racers with strong Montana ties who will be competing this week at the RNCFR at the famous Lazy-E Arena.
The event, which begins Thursday and concludes Saturday, features the year-end and finals champions from 12 circuits from around the United States.
Each competitor will go two full rounds, with the average winners advancing to the semifinals. The top four advance to the finals with the previous scores wiped clean.
Benbenek qualified by winning the 2013 Prairie Circuit year-end championship. The Prairie Circuit covers Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. The Oklahoma State graduate is a real estate appraiser who lives in Aubrey, Texas.
"My house is about 40 miles south of the (Oklahoma border) and plus I went to OSU for five years," said Benbenek, who competed for OSU's national championship teams in 2001 and 2004. "I know a lot of those rodeos and I know a lot of the people up there. I love the people and my horse gets along with the ground real well. I guess if he liked deep, sandy ground we'd probably run more in the Texas Circuit."
Benbenek made her circuit title push last Labor Day weekend, winning the barrel racing at Vinita, Okla., Hastings, Neb., and Dayton, Iowa. She earned more than $22,000 for 2013 and finished 45th in the final WPRA world standings. Benbenek also placed second at the All-American ProRodeo Finals last October in Waco, Texas, pocketing another $8,284.
"I'm an independent contractor so I can leave when I want but I'm not making money as an appraiser when I'm gone," Benbenek said. "I've got to be making money somewhere."
Benbenek is riding Maverick, a 10-year-old bay gelding and a second-generation horse for the Montana cowgirl.
Benbenek also rode Miss Willie Ada, Maverick's mother.
"It means everything to have a second generation horse like this," she said. "I guess I would keep going if I had to buy something and start over, but this means a lot. His mother meant the world to me, so to be able to keep going on her baby is just special to me.
"He's so fun to ride."
• • •
Benbenek is one of four barrel racers with strong Montana roots
She will be joined by Montana Circuit representatives Shelly Anzick and Lindsay Kruse, along with Lisa Lockhart, the Badlands Circuit champion.
Lockhart, originally from Circle, leads the WPRA world standings with almost $60,000. Her money won does not include the $100,000 win at The American and another $29,000 earned at RodeoHouston.
Anzick, of Livingston, is third in the world standings. She vaulted into the top 10 with a $15,000 victory at Fort Worth, Texas.
• • •
Other Montana competitors are: Jessy Davis, bareback; Chase Erickson, bareback; Shawn Downing, steer wrestling; Ross Mosher, steer wrestling; Dustin Bird, team roping; John Robertson, team roping; Ike Folsom, team roping; Jade Stoddard, team roping; Chad Johnson, tie-down roping; Kevin Peterson, tie-down roping; Shane Moran, saddle bronc; Josh Reynolds, saddle bronc; Parker Breding, bull riding; Kody DeShon, bull riding.
Bird, a two-time National Finals Rodeo competitor from Cut Bank, currently leads the world team roping heading standings. He will rope with Robertson, who qualified for the Canadian Finals Rodeo last year.
Sidney's Beau Franzen and Jason Schaffer of Broadus qualified out of the Badlands Circuit. Franzen, a former NFR competitor, will be competing in steer wrestling, while Schaffer is entered in tie-down roping.
Franzen has also qualified from the Montana and Prairie Circuits during his career.

coalition of Christian pastors in Oklahoma is opposing Hobby Lobby's
lawsuit challenging federal health care guidelines that require the arts
and crafts chain to provide insurance coverage for the morning-after
The Rev. Lance Schmitz says
more than 80,000 people signed petitions opposing the Oklahoma-based
company's lawsuit. Schmitz tried to deliver the petitions Thursday to
Hobby Lobby headquarters but was ordered to leave the property. The
pastor says he will mail the petitions instead.
The company had no immediate comment.
Hobby Lobby, which operates
more than 500 stores in 41 states, argues in its lawsuit that providing
coverage for the morning-after pill violates its owners' "deeply held
religious beliefs."
The petitions say Hobby Lobby should not use its Christian beliefs to deny women access to birth control.
