I don't know where you are getting this idea that if determinism is true we are no longer acting. This is hardly the case. If determinism is true, we are acting, we are choosing, deciding, etc. (as I said above, no determinist has ever disputed this), however, we are not doing this freely. As I wrote in the Coke/Pepsi analogy, I was able to chose Coke, but the reason I chose it was not because of my free will. It was because of antecedent events in my life that had to do with Coke, such as their advertising, or whatever experiences I've had while drinking a Coke that my psychology now equates with happiness. Furthermore, my brain could be predisposed on a chemical level to find a red to be more pleasurable than a blue can. These are all things that are outside of my own free will, and are what caused me to choose the Coke.
When you said you responded the way you wanted to, a hard determinist would say no, you responded the way you were causally determined to, and that you are only under the illusion that you responded the way you wanted. You are probably shaking your head. Let me ask you something that might give you a better understanding of determinism: Do you choose your beliefs? Think carefully about this. The knee jerk response is to say yes, you choose what to believe, and what not to believe. But what causes you to choose? I think it's safe to say we make choices to believe things or not based off evidence, good arguments, reason, etc. You are probably nodding, asking me what my point is. My point is that you do not choose to believe evidence, but that evidence compels you to believe something. Thus, there is no free choice in the matter. For example, you believe in the force of gravity (I assume). Do you choose to believe in this? No. Evidence, such as when you jump in the air and touch back down, compels you to believe that there is an invisible force that keeps you planted on the ground. Similarly, you did not choose to respond the way you did. You were compelled to do so by antecedent events, namely, events that have given you the illusion that you have free will.
As for morality, the agent is acting and choosing, however, because of antecedent events and the laws of nature, they are determined to make whatever choice it is they will make. If they made the morally good decision, there is no way, to that point in their life, they could have chose the morally evil decision, and vise versa. This is why if determinism is true, there can be no moral responsibility. If I understand correctly, what you are saying is that it makes no sense to write about morality if there is no moral responsibility. This is not so.
Imagine a businessman goes away on business, and on his trip, rapes, and murders a prostitute. He does this, and nobody ever knows. A hard determinist would say he is not responsible for what he did, given he had no control over this. But does this change the fact that he brutally murdered a prostitute? No. Thus, he is not responsible, however, he still has broken what we would call a moral rule, which is to not rape and murder prostitutes, or anyone else. Furthermore, imagine this businessman is perfectly sane and believes in determinism, and he tells his friend this story. His friend, who also is a hard determinist, says "John, that is wrong, you shouldn't have done that." The business man explains how it's not his fault, how he cannot be held responsible. His friend replies by saying "I know you're not responsible, but think of the pain you caused that woman before ending her life. What if she had a child or a boyfriend? Think of all the pain you would have caused them. Would you want somebody to do that to your wife?" The business man says no, and now that his friend has pointed out these facts about suffering to him, he decides that he shouldn't have brutally murdered the prostitute, nor should he ever murder anyone again.
Now, I know this is a simple analogy, so you don't need to point that out. Notice though, how a person can do wrong, even though he is not morally responsible for it. Furthermore, notice how after doing this wrong, and not thinking anything of it, someone's guidance can be the antecedent event that changes a person's disposition. The friend offered reasons why John ought not to rape and kill prostitutes, and those reasons compelled, just as they ought to compel any sane person, not to rape and murder prostitutes. This is how a hard determinist, like Harris, and myself, can believe there is no moral responsibility, yet still be interested in how people ought to live.
Before I say what I have to say I will say that hard/biological determinist are hard to argue and you proved that very well so kudos to you.
Now here comes the fun part: Yes it is true that there are bio-chemicals, tradition, culture, psychology, etc plays a role in some of our actions. I can admit to that but although you choose coke you could have just as easily picked Pepsi as well, despite the fact that you eventually choose to drink coke (in spite of all the factor involved). Despite the internal and external influences of your decision the fact that you have the capacity to choose either coke or Pepsi is what makes you a free agent. I think it is absurd to state that your choosing is not of your own free-will because you also could have choose to drink neither, despite your internal and external influences and that is what makes your argument somewhat forlorn. I may have this innate biological urge for chocolate but I can choose when and when not to eat it. As for what your saying or what you seem to say is that the moment you are presented with such a choice you are so compelled to choose what has been biologically, psychologically, etc programmed for you to choose that you will have no choice in decideding not to drink coke. In other words what I am saying is that if your going to use such an analogy cover all the basis which is choosing neither one or both.It is not as simple as coke or Pepsi. It is choose coke, choose pepsi, choose both or choose none or choose something else.
Your next argument I found to be pretty interesting but despite this I would still have to say that we have the capacity to believe what we want to believe. You are right in the sense that certain factors are involved in our decision to want to believe a certain thing. It is true that prior experiences causes us to not believe in, lets say that the sky is indeed not green but blue but how does this make you come to the conclusion that we are not free. What you said about evidence in regards to free-will kind of irked me. How is it that if kiki is presented with evidence that gravity is a true force within the universe and she then chooses to believe that gravity is a true force in the universe how does this take away from her being a free agent? That does not make any sense for the simple fact that despite kiki being presented with evidence about gravity being a real force in the universe she could choose not to believe that gravity is real. Could her decision have been influenced by prior events such as being sitting in a classroom and being presented with the facts but this does not take away from her being a free individual. If you ask me this would be a great choice on her part. When talking about free-will we must not disregard the capacity to make choices and the choices we do make should not be deemed inevitable. All because I choose to log onto this forum and respond to your post does not mean that I could not have choose to watch t.v. instead. All it means is that I choose to go on sam harris.org and not watch t.v.
I agree with Kiki, it makes no sense to write about morality if there is no moral responsibility. Just think about it? Why waste our time creating moral codes or discussing moral values if there would be no need for them? If we are incapable of making the correct moral decisions because our actions are determined by other external and internal forces then what is the need for laws or even prisons? why lock up a man for something he have no personal responsibility for? There has to be some moral responsibility for individuals otherwise we'd all be immoral s.o.b.'s. As for your analogy of the businessman he had total responsibility for his actions. Once again he could have choose not to rape the prostitute and instead pay her for her services. To actually kill another individual is actually a choice. A conscious decision on the part of the businessman. If I was to go to your doorstep and shoot you in the head what would have compelled me to do so? Is there a reason for everything? yes of course but these reasons alone are not fully responsible for me killing you. I could have 1,000 reasons to want to kill you on your doorstep but to actually act upon that impulse, desire, ambition, etc takes a conscious decision. One more thing. You never stated what compelled the business man to kill the prostitute. All you stated was that he just killed the prostitute for absolutely no reason. You did not really prove that we can have no moral responsibility for killing another individual in a deterministic way. All you really did was vindicate the businessman from his actions to support your own conclusion that determinism is true.

About us
Get to Know Us and Our Mission
For millions of years, Australia's ecosystems have evolved in isolation. Our distance from other land masses means that 80 percent of our plant and animal species are found nowhere else on earth — a number only amplified by the fact that 10 percent of the world's biodiversity calls Australia home.
Yet the isolation that made Australia's ecosystems so unique leaves many of them without the protective measures they need to withstand modern environmental threats like invasive species, overdevelopment and climate change.
Since starting work in Australia more than a decade ago, The Nature Conservancy has worked closely with the Australian government, local partners and Indigenous communities to protect some of the world's rarest, most delicate ecosystems. We've supported conservation efforts across more than 120 million hectares of Australia's lands and waters and have helped to secure 29 high-priority additions to the National Reserve System, including some of the largest private protected areas in Australia. Join us in helping to protect Australia's future.
Conservation at the Scale of Nature
The Conservancy is working at a vast scale in the Great Western Woodlands and the northern Australian grasslands, which are respectively home to the largest remaining mediterranean woodlands and savanna grasslands on earth.
We team with a large and diverse coalition of partners to achieve unprecedented conservation results in these regions, and we work with our allies to ensure that conservation lands are sustainably funded for generations to come.
Through assisting with 13 million hectares of Indigenous Protected Areas across northern and central Australia, the Conservancy is helping to combine local knowledge with the latest in conservation techniques. By implementing a fire management plan that uses traditional techniques to pursue sustainable burning plans, we're drawing on the old and the new to offset carbon emissions and make ecosystems more resilient against the stresses of climate change.
Protecting Places, Providing for People
In the next five years, we plan on significantly increasing the number of Indigenous Rangers throughout the country and encouraging greater engagement with indigenous communities on conservation issues. These goals will improve the management of vast networks of conservation lands as well as provide livelihoods for people well-equipped to steward their native lands.
Protecting Australia's environment not only means setting aside lands for conservation. It means creating healthier, more resilient ecosystems that can benefit people and wildlife alike. The Conservancy is fully committed to ensuring that Australia's ecosystems continue to evolve in sustainable ways — and not in isolation, but rather with both the global vision and local expertise necessary to ensure our country's survival for millions of years more.
The Nature Conservancy has a local Australian Advisory Board which fulfills four distinct roles: ambassador, conservationist, fundraiser and advisor.

AKRON, Ohio – Behind a pair of individual fourth-place finishes Thursday, the Miami University men's track and field team sits in a fourth-place tie after day one of the Mid-American Conference Outdoor Championships, hosted by the University of Akron at Lee R. Jackson Track & Field Complex.
The RedHawks compiled 12 points in the two event finals held on opening day, tying with Buffalo for fourth place. Kent State is in first through two events with 24 points, followed by the host Zips and Eastern Michigan in a second-place tie with 14 points. Central Michigan is in sixth place after day one with two points to round out the men's field.
Junior Dave Wing (Naperville, Ill.) closed strong on the final few laps to earn fourth in the 10,000m run final, the lone track event on day one, crossing in a personal-best 31:17.69 to earn five points. Senior Matt Marol (Evanston, Ill.) picked up another point by placing eighth in the 10K in 31:27.21.
Miami earned a combined six points in the javelin as well, the lone field event final of the day, led by sophomore Tyler Yee (Florida, N.Y.), who placed fourth with a personal-best heave of 64.35m/211-1. He improved his previous best by nearly six feet while he now ranks second in school history in the event. Junior Taylor Celestin (Mason, Ohio) also posted a personal best in the javelin, taking eighth with a throw of 56.93m/186-9 to improve on his previous best by over 10 feet while picking up one point.
Sophomore Sam Chester (Medina, Ohio) battled through a leg injury to rest in eighth place at the halfway point of the decathlon with 3,541 points through five events, posting personal bests in three events. He earned his most points in the 100m dash, winning his heat and taking third overall in a personal-best 11.14 for 830 points in the 13-man field. Chester also placed fourth in the shot put with another personal best of 12.81m/42-0.5 and took fifth in the 400m dash in 50.42, also a personal best. The final five events of the decathlon take place Friday.

Maroon 5 Biography & News
Maroon 5 Details
|Official site
About Maroon 5
Maroon 5 releases "V"
Maroon 5 fans sure have a lot to be happy about. In addition to releasing their fifth studio album, "V" at the beginning of September, the band gifted its diehards with another special announcement – a new world tour schedule.
Maroon 5's "V" tour is now officially set to commence on February 16, 2015 in Dallas, Texas and will wrap on June 17 in Lisbon, Portugal. Fans can already pre-order their Maroon 5 tickets (that began on September 6, while European pre-sales started on Sept. 3rd). The tour will reportedly include special guest artists Magic!, U.S. tour opening act Rozzi Crane and European tour opening act Nick Gardner.
Adam Levine talked about the new album a few months ago, telling MTV, "This album is very much all over the place. There's some stuff on our record that sounds a little like early Maroon 5, and then there's some stuff that sounds like the newer direction that we went in."
Maroon 5 recently headlined the Hyundai Card City Break, a rock festival in South Korea. They will also headline the 2014 iTunes Festival in London, with that concert scheduled for September 11, 2014.
Until the band hits the road next year, Levine will return to his duties as a judge on NBC's "The Voice." He's also enjoying married life to Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo, recently calling their new union "trippy" on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
Levine sells his life story to NBC (Updated August 30, 2013)
Adam Levine … TV producer? Sure, it may have sounded far-fetched once upon a time, but the days of Levine being a TV novice are in the past. The occasional actor and coach of NBC's "The Voice" is tackling a new role – he's sold an autobiographical comedy series that he is co-producing to the Peacock network. The project is based on the real-life relationship between Adam and his best friend and roommate before they found success. Will it be successful? Time will tell. But until then…
Maroon 5's rock-solid work ethic has been on display all summer, as the guys have crisscrossed the country with Kelly Clarkson as part of a 34-date North American trek, which got underway August 1 in Maryland Heights, Mo., and runs through Oct. 6. Of course, the band has sort of scaled down the M-shaped stage and lavish production it brought to arenas in the last few years, but they've still figured out how to bring some of it to the outdoor venues they're currently playing.
All things considered, the tour is a bit of an encore for Maroon 5, as it's playing its second swing in support of the 2012 album "Overexposed," which has been certified platinum. "Love Somebody" is the fourth (and likely final) single from the project, following "Payphone," "One More Night" and "Daylight." The band has already started writing for its fifth studio album, which will have keyboardist Jesse Carmichael returning after taking a hiatus for "Overexposed."
It's been said in various interviews that new material forthcoming from the band is going to be "maybe a little darker in sound." Regardless, fans will undoubtedly be clamoring for the new music the way they're clamoring for tickets to Maroon 5's live shows. And until then, Levine is content to keep that infamous swivel chair warm on "The Voice," along with selling his own line of fragrances, apparel and accessories.
Maroon 5 Exists Outside of Rock 'n' Roll Norms (Updated November 28, 2012)
Once dogged by the perception that they were simply a boy band, the members of Los Angeles-based outfit Maroon 5 went to great lengths to change their image. Fronted by the tattooed and chiseled Adam Levine, the band – which has also included guitarists James Valentine and Sam Farrar, keyboardists Jesse Carmichael and PJ Morton, bassist Mickey Madden and drummer Matt Flynn-- set out to get the message across it writes and performs all its own music and exists outside the rock 'n' roll norms.
By the close of 2010 and post-release of "Hands All Over," Maroon 5 had produced the smash hit "Moves Like Jagger," which premiered live on NBC's "The Voice" on June 21, 2011 and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 by September. By that point, the band was everywhere. Levine was already serving as a vocal coach on "The Voice," would eventually sign on to recur in an FX television series and was later cast in the film "Can a Song Save Your Life?"
With Levine's star shining bright, the band plowed through and into 2012 at a breakneck pace. They released their fourth studio album, "Overexposed," on June 26, calling it their "most diverse…album yet." The first single, "Payphone," debuted at number 3 on the Hot 100, and the follow-up "One More Night" beat out the international sensation of PSY's "Gangnam Style" to top the charts for nine weeks.
Maroon 5's "Overexposed" World Tour played around the globe until Levine had to return stateside for the third season of "The Voice." Despite being back behind the judge's chair, Levine and the band have announced the third single from their current project is going to be "Daylight." They've also revealed they've started work on their fifth studio album.
Maroon 5 is currently scheduled to ring in 2013 with back-to-back shows at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, and will play some dates with Owl City and Neon Trees in 2013.
About Maroon 5
Maroon 5 has had continuing studio success since 2002 with the release of their album "Songs About Jane" and their concert tickets have been no exception. It took awhile for the first single "Harder to Breathe" to pick up ground, but it eventually made it into the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 singles. In 2006, Maroon 5 released their second album "It Won't Be Soon before Long" that features the hit single "Makes Me Wonder." This song was the number one single and video on iTunes before it was ever released for airplay. Maroon 5 continues to release albums such as "Hands all Over" in 2010.
Maroon 5 Drops 'V' Card, Reveals 2015 Tour Dates
Maroon 5's fifth studio album, V, dropped literally today, so we're a bit surprised that it took Adam Levine and company this long to announce some world tour dates (probably delayed by Levine's busy movie-making and The Voice-judging schedule). In any case, Maroon 5 is going on tour next year! They'll start things off on…Read more

Terrace debating future of Ballinger Lake Golf Course
The City Council will discuss scenarios for the course at a meeting on Monday
CHRIS GOODENOW / HERALD file photo
From right, Bob Hackney of Everett, a member of the Teed off Seniors Golf League, watches his ball near the green of the first hole with fellow members Sid Bui and Elaine Clemensen, both of Lynnwood, during a May 3 tournament at Ballinger Lake Golf Course in Mountlake Terrace. The city of Mountlake Terrace is exploring options that could include closing the nine-hole course.
The city-owned golf course closed Nov. 5 after Tyrone and Carol Hardy, a husband and wife, and the president and vice-president of Hardy Golf LLC, announced they would no longer operate it.
They had a lease agreement to run the nine-hole golf course through Dec. 31, 2015. The city says it is looking into legal issues over that contract.
At a meeting last month, the City Council received a report on the possible future of the golf course located at 23000 Lakeview Drive, Mountlake Terrace.
The options include finding a new golf course operator; having the city operate the golf course and manage the clubhouse as a Recreation and Parks Department program; or consider transitioning the golf course to a passive open space and hiring a private vendor to operate and maintain the clubhouse.
Another option is to allow the golf course to revert to a natural state to help improve water quality on Lake Ballinger and downstream from the lake.
Several people at the Dec. 17 meeting said the Lake Ballinger Golf Course needed to be maintained better and faced stiff competition from nicer 18-hole courses in the area, including the Nile Golf Course across the lake.
The council plans to discuss the options at 7 p.m. at the Mountlake Terrace Interim City Hall, 6100 219th Street SW, Suite 220, second floor.
Ballinger Lake isn't the only troubled golf course in Snohomish County.
The city of Lynnwood was dinged last month by the state auditor for borrowing millions from city funds, including the utility fund, to pay for the golf course. State auditors said the city needed to make a plan for the golf course to repay its debt.
Snohomish County bought the Wellington Hills Golf Course near Maltby a year ago and then shut it down last fall. The county plans to open a large regional sports complex on the 100-acre nine-hole course.

Photographers caught Tulalip culture of early-20th century
A century ago, photographers recorded the tribal culture
Everett Public Library Northwest History Room
Everett photographer Norman Edson made this picture of himself with two Tulalip elders in 1905.

J.A. Juleen shot this interior photo of a Tulalip longhouse in 1914.
Everett Public Library Northwest History Room
J.A. Juleen's portrait of Tulalip artist and activist William Shelton was taken in 1913.
In 1905, Everett photographer Norman Edson, then 26, jumped into the middle of his shot, knelt on one knee and squeezed his shutter release.
With his newsboy cap, dapper suit and bowtie, Edson's attire contrasts with the heavy shawls of the Tulalip women at his side. They are weavers, sitting cross-legged on mats on the ground. One smiles, the other concentrates on her work.
Edson was one of several pre-World War I photographers who captured life on the reservation, creating a valuable record of the Tulalip people more than 100 years ago.
Everett Public Library's resident historian David Dilgard plans to talk about the photographers at a presentation set for 6 p.m. Thursday at the Hibulb Cultural Center.
The lecture examines the work of Edson (1879-1968), Marysville-based photographer Ferdinand "Ferd" Brady (1880-1967) and J.A. Juleen (1874-1935) of Everett. In addition, it was at Tulalip that the well-known Seattle photographer Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952) began his nationwide quest to photograph all the North American Indian tribes.
"Each of these men left important bodies of photographic work, remarkable images of the Tulalip tribal community a century ago," Dilgrad said.
Of the three photographers featured in Dilgard's presentation, Juleen's work survives most prominently in prints at Hibulb and in the collection of his glass negatives at the Everett library.
Juleen was known for his four-foot panoramas of Northwest landscapes.
At Tulalip, Juleen took photos of important events: the celebration at a newly completed longhouse and the dedication of a story pole by artist William Shelton, as well as portraits of Shelton and many others.
"Unlike Curtis, however, Juleen didn't put people in tepees or pose them with other trappings," Dilgard said. "He took pictures of people as they were and left us photographs of high quality."
Edson was a student of Bert Brush, who had a photography studio on Wetmore Avenue. Dilgard calls Edson a renaissance man. He played the violin, studied birds and hand-tinted his black-and-white photos.
Brady was known in Snohomish and Skagit counties for his commercial work and his photo records of industry and development.
"There are wonderful images by Brady of the paper mill at Lowell, full of women employees who wore white blouses and their hair tied up in big bows," Dilgard said. "Brady is one of the forgotten masters of the craft. He used available light at Tulalip, instinctively shooting photos that would become historically and culturally important."
Mary Jane Topash, tour specialist at Hibulb Cultural Center, said that most of the photos in the museum from the early part of the 20th century are by the photographers Dilgard plans to talk about.
"It's great to have the photos of special events such as Treaty Days, canoes landing at Tulalip Bay, important funerals," Topash said. "They provide a time capsule and offer a wealth of information the tribes would not have without these photos."
Dilgard said he is pleased to present information about the photographers.
"Hibulb is all about the families, language and culture of the Tulalip people," he said. "To be invited in as an outsider, as these photographers were, is flattering, as I'm sure it was to Juleen, Brady and Edson."

Tulalip's early photographers
A presentation about the photographers who captured life on the Tulalip reservation in the early 1900s is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday at the Hibulb Cultural Center, 6410 23rd Ave. NE, Tulalip.
The program is free with museum admission, which is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, $6 for students, $6 for military personnel and veterans and free to members of the Tulalip Tribes.

RYAN VREDE watched the Sharks reignite their play-off challenge with a 53-11 bonus-point victory over the Force.
Despite the emphatic scoreline, the slick performance the Sharks have been in search of continues to elude them, but in the context of their play-off charge they did what was required.
While they bagged the all-important four-try bonus point, their attacking play generally lacked variety, innovation and precision. Instead they relied too heavily on individuals to inspire or fed off the Force's numerous mistakes. A better team would not have been as defensively generous as the Force were this evening and the Sharks will know they have work to do in this facet of play in the coming weeks.
However, there was certainly plenty for them to be pleased about. Defensively they were outstanding, exhibiting good structure and bossing the gainline through brutal hits that never allowed the Force the opportunity to build attacking momentum. There are attacking concerns from structured play, but they remain a side capable of crossing the whitewash and if they can marry that with a high defensive standard they will advance their play-off cause and be very difficult to beat.
Then there were the individual contributions from key players. Beast Mtawarira was industrious in attack and defence, Bismarck du Plessis carried powerfully and was a force on defence, Paul Jordaan looks a good fit in the Sharks' problem position of outside centre and there was a strong showing from lock Anton Bresler.
But the most lavish praise must be reserved for the brilliant young Marcell Coetzee. Coetzee, who turned 21 this week, is a Springbok in the making and is likely to be one within the year. His attacking work-rate is phenomenal and he rarely doesn't make yards at the gainline. His tackle fight is equally efficient and he appears to possess a degree of mongrel that you can't coach. The South African loose forward factory regularly churns out gems, but he was made in the luxury division and boasts performance specs well beyond the ordinary.
The Sharks effectively sealed the result five minutes after half time, Louis Ludik crossing on 41 minutes and Lwazi Mvovo intercepting twice to score and add to Steven Sykes and Jordaan's first half scores, the latter crafted by a sublime Pat Lambie break. The Force's resistance crumbled thereafter and they became a soft target for the Sharks, who added to their try tally through Craig Burden and Jacques Botes.
The conference title is probably beyond them, but with two matches against the Cheetahs and one against the Lions remaining you have to fancy the Sharks' chances of making the play-offs. Consistency has eluded them and that needs to change. This performance was flawed but can certainly be the catalyst for their final surge in the league phase.

Poet Reads From Her Work
A radiant and passionate poet, Jane Hirshfield explores the territory of our inner and outer worlds. Known as one of our foremost poets of the natural world, Hirshfield reveals how elements of nature hold fundamental human truths: about fortitude and loss, separation and wholeness, and the perseverance of passion. Using a range of formal approaches, she never loses sight of the primary function of the lyric poem; to provide a deepening and widening sense of what it is to be awake to the deep currents of daily life. Hirshfield is the author of four collections of poetry including, most recently, The Lives of the Heart: Poems (1997).
A noted essayist, translator, and anthologist, Hirshfield has received much praise for her work. U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky said of her collection of essays Nine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry (1997). "Hirshfield dares to write about the mysteries of art, and she approaches each poem in a way that feels exactly right to me: plainly, reverently, intelligently." Pulitzer-prize winner Gary Snyder observed, "Hirshfield's territory reaches from ancient Greece to traditional Japan ... for those who want it, here's guidance toward the power of being in the margin, the calm ease of being in the center."
Jane Hirshfield has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Fellowship, and Columbia University's Translation Center Award. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and The Nation. Please join us for a reading by a luminous poet.
Fourteen Stations/Hey Yud Dalet
Arie Galles was born in October 1944, before the end of World War II, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where his parents sought refuge. At the end of the war, the family returned to Poland and found their home destroyed, the Jewish community annihilated. They moved to a small Polish town, Lubawka and lived in Poland until 1956 when they moved to Israel. In 1958 Galles emigrated to United States.
Memories of the Holocaust remained with Galles and later became the subject of his "Fourteen Stations," (begun 1993) a suite of drawings based on aerial photographs of concentration camps which Galles called his "Kadish for all those who perished in the Nazi concentration camps." Galles studied in the United States and in Rome, Italy. He received his bachelor's degree in fine arts from the Tyler School of Fine Arts of Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and his master's degree from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Since 1972, Galles has been a professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey. He has also exhibited his work in galleries, museums, and universities across the country.
His Athenaeum presentation will commemorate Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. On this day we remind ourselves that we must never forget in order to preserve the memory of those who suffered and prevent the repetition of such atrocities. Prior to this event, Rabbi Leslie Bergson will lead a short service in the Athenaeum courtyard beginning at 5:00 p.m.

Music of Jewish American Composers
Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Richard Rogers, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, and George Rochberg lived in the era of the minstrel show, burlesque, vaudeville, the jukebox, the phonograph, musical comedy, musical drama, the growth of music publishing, radio, and television. They survived World War I, the Depression, and World War II. Their total musical expression encompasses tonality, simple and advanced harmony, atonality, serialism, impressionism, and a vast array of distinctive musical styles which are a significant part of our American musical heritage.
Nina Deutsch's piano performance with narration illustrates the development of American music from 1900-1977, and the contribution of these six major figures to the field of American music. Deutsch also relates sparkling details of their life stories.
Maestra Deutsch has performed as soloist in more than 1,500 concerts and recitals throughout the world, in such venues as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the United Nations, and Wigmore Hall in London. She has appeared on NBC, CBC, and BBC television, and has been heard on Voice of America and Shanghai and Peking Radio. Though she is perhaps best known as an interpreter of the music of Charles Ives (whose complete works for solo piano she has recorded on the Vox label), her repertoire ranges from Bach to Boulez to jazz and popular music. She has also earned acclaim as an educator, writer, and performance artist. Of her performance in "Portrait of Clara Wieck Schumann," a one-woman play she wrote, The New York Times remarked "Miss Deutsch held the audience spellbound ......

Leadership and Practical Intelligence
LUNCH 11:45 a.m., LECTURE 12:15 p.m.
Robert J. Sternberg is the IBM Professor of Psychology and Education at Yale University and a leading authority on human intelligence. His research is in practical intelligence, including his triarchic theory of human intelligence. The theory refers to three broad analytic, creative and practical categories of learning.
His current research is concerned with problems of human intelligence, broadly defined. With a group of researchers, Sternberg works to bridge the areas of cognitive, developmental, and social psychology. Examples of particular current projects are matching of instruction and assessment with patterns of abilities; effectiveness of various kinds of thinking-based instruction; tacit knowledge for leadership effectiveness; the nature of wisdom, information-processing bases of second language aptitude; and teachers' mental models of student abilities.
As the luncheon speaker for the Ninth Annual Kravis-de-Roulet Leadership Conference, Sternberg will discuss the role of practical intelligence, in particular, the importance of tacit knowledge. Tacit knowledge is what one uses in order to build practical intelligence, and it has special relevance to career success, especially for professionals and leaders.
Dr. Sternberg's appearance is part of the day-long Kravis-de-Roulet conference hosted by the Kravis Leadership Institute.
The Motivational Dimensions of Leadership: Power, Achievement and Affiliation
David G. Winter is professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan. He has been on the faculties of Wesleyan University, Harvard, and MIT. His most recent book is Personality: Analysis and Interpretation of Lives (1995), and he is a major contributor to publications concerned with personality and leadership such as the Handbook of Personality: Theory and Research (1990) and the Encyclopedia of Psychology (forthcoming 2000).
Author of The Power Motive (1973), Winter has written several articles and book chapters that look at the leadership of Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush as well as other areas of political leadership-personality, power, and authority; motivation and performance in presidential candidates; leader appeal, leader performance, and the motive profiles of leaders and followers. His research interests also include authoritarianism and gender roles.
Winter appears as part of the Ninth Annual Kravis-de-Roulet Leadership Conference, and concludes the day-long event hosted by the Kravis Leadership Institute. He will discuss the ways in which the motives of leaders affect how they construe their role as leaders, their sources of satisfaction and dissatisfaction, and their vulnerabilities.

Many still unhappy with state basketball tournament format
WIAA's decision to discontinue 16-team, one-site hoops tourneys still angers many coaches, fans
At the time, Sood was an assistant coach on the Mountlake Terrace High School boys basketball team that reached the 1989 Class AA state tournament. The Hawks lost their first game at what was then a 16-team, four-day state tournament at the Tacoma Dome. They rebounded from that initial loss to Chief Sealth, won three straight games in the consolation bracket and wound up placing fifth.
"I remember standing there, and I was two years out of high school and I thought, 'Wow! This is the most unbelievable experience I've ever had in athletics!'" said Sood, now the head coach at Mountlake Terrace.
Today, that experience would be impossible. A loss in the first-round of the state tournament would end the Hawks' season.
Four years ago, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) modified the state basketball tournaments, shifting first-round play to "regional" sites throughout the state. The move reduced the number of teams advancing to the Tacoma Dome and other state-finals venues from 16 to eight. It's a move that didn't sit well with Sood and many of his fellow coaches.
"There's a lot of us that believe the 16-team state tournament is what's best for the student-athlete, the fan, parents, the student body, the bands, the cheerleaders and the communities ...," Sood said. "And in our surveys, our discussions, our communications, that's what we keep getting back from everybody. Everybody wants the 16-team state tournament."
The new format of the state basketball tournament was unpopular from the start. To read more, click here.
Everybody, that is, but the WIAA.
With attendance at the state basketball tournament dwindling — attendance dropped 33 percent from 1997 to 2010 according to WIAA executive director Mike Colbrese — the organization decided something had to be done.
"We looked at a lot of different options," Colbrese said. "Do we go to single eliminations? Coaches said, 'No. We don't want a single-elimination state tournament. We want to stay with a double-elimination.' So, we went with the first round at regional sites. ... I know there are a lot of people that want to go back to the 16-team tournament but it doesn't pencil out."
Cutting costs
The dip in attendance was alarming because the basketball state tournaments generate more revenue than any other sport. In 2012 — with the regional format in place — the basketball tournaments brought in $467,153 after expenses, according to a report on the WIAA's website. That accounted for 47 percent of the non-profit organization's excess revenue from all 20 state tournament events. That excess helps fund tournaments such as golf and tennis, which lose money.
"I want to be careful and say it wasn't a deficit," Colbrese said. "We just weren't making the kind of money that we needed and we could see the continual downward tick."
The biggest financial benefit came from cutting costs associated with the state basketball tournaments.
Before the change, the WIAA rented the Tacoma Dome (4A/3A tournaments), Yakima Valley SunDome (1A/2A) and Spokane Arena (1B/2B) for two consecutive weeks — one week for each classification. Each tournament ran for four days. Under the current format, the state tournaments all take place the same week and require just a three-day rental.
"We're realizing a few more dollars, but the significant difference is we cut our overhead in half," Colbrese said.
For more on the WIAA's annual budget, click on the .pdf above or here.
The Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association (WIBCA) has proposed ways to try to alleviate the financial concerns, including an offer to lobby businesses for additional sponsorships for the state tournaments.
"If it's money, how much is it?" Lake Stevens girls coach Randall Edens said. "Give us a chance, as a coaches association, to go out and get sponsors and get it done."
Colbrese said adding sponsors is not that simple.
"The difficulty, of course, is to get more corporate sponsors you're going to diminish the value of our two title sponsors (Les Schwab Tires and the Dairy Farmers of Washington) and we need to stay loyal to them," he said. "To bring in more corporate sponsors would diminish the value and visibility of them."
According to Sood, who is the reigning WIBCA president, the regional format means 1,152 student-athletes over all classifications see their seasons end after the regional round and miss out on the final week of the state tournament.
The WIBCA sent out a statement after the final regional games Saturday night expressing sympathy to the "96 basketball teams whose seasons were cut short of state by the regrettable regional format."
For more on WIBCA's statement, click here.
The press release then went on to list the 96 teams from across the state that lost in the regional round.
A different feel
The coaches' biggest issue with the current format is that games hosted at regional sites don't have the same feel as those played at the more prestigious venues.
"Kids aren't going to remember scores or who they played against," said Edens, whose Vikings have been to state seven of the past nine seasons. "What they are going to remember is that experience at the Tacoma Dome 20 years from now. Or the SunDome. That's what we need to keep in mind."
If the regional format is here to stay, Sood would like to see a more "state-like atmosphere."
"What we shared with the WIAA is our No. 1 issue was we'd like to see games getting played at state venues, and state venues are colleges or arenas," Sood said. "That was a big thing for us."
The WIBCA wants to eliminate situations like the Stanwood girls basketball team experienced in February of 2012. Facing Federal Way in a Class 3A regional game at Auburn High School, the Spartans were without a locker room and were told they would have to change in a classroom. When the curtains in the classroom wouldn't close, the girls were forced to get ready in a public restroom.
"It was not a good state experience for the young ladies," Stanwood coach Dennis Kloke said. "It just didn't feel like a state game. The facility was a little older, and we didn't have a locker room."
The WIAA has used feedback from coaches and administrators to whittle down the sites that can host regional games, creating criteria such as capacity, number of parking spaces and the availability of locker rooms.
"I think you'd find that you're not hearing those kinds of comments anymore. ... I should say, you won't be hearing maybe as many comments," Colbrese said. "I think we found out which sites work, and which sites don't work. We're down to 19 different sites now and those seem to be working for us really well."
Auburn High School is one of those sites and played host to three regional games last weekend.
Not the only issue
As WIBCA president, Sood has spent much of his six-year tenure trying to revive the state tournament of old. He said it's "the hottest topic" among the coaches.
But it's not the only one.
Coaches also aren't thrilled with the way the regional matchups are set up.
Before the season, the WIAA sets the regional pairings. For example, the Jackson boys knew all season that if they won the Northwest District title, they would face the No. 4 team from the District 3/4 playoffs in the regionals. Such foreknowledge is one of the coaches' biggest concerns with the current process: Sometimes the best route to the state quarterfinals doesn't include winning.
In each of the past four seasons there were teams that won their district tournaments only to be rewarded with a more difficult opponent — based on the Associated Press state rankings — than those that finished second.
"There's a lot of coaches put in that moral dilemma," King's girls coach Dan Taylor said. "One year I had a friend say, 'Are you actually going to try to win this game?' I said, 'Yeah, of course. I don't play to lose. I'm a competitor.' By us winning, we had a harder opponent and went to their backyard to play and lost in regionals. The team we beat went to a quote-unquote 'easier' opponent and won, and got to go to the dome."
Two seasons ago, the Lake Stevens girls team went 22-1 and won a district title, before being matched with Skyview in the regional round. The Storm, who won the 4A Greater St. Helens championship, defeated the Vikings 72-56, doubling Lake Stevens' loss total and ending the Vikings' season.
Skyview went on to win the 4A state championship.
"The loss in general was certainly crushing," Edens said. "We were excited but we knew we were going to have the toughest regional draw out there. We were essentially penalized for doing all the right things. We won a district championship, a league title, had one loss all season and then we get Skyview, who went on to win the state championship."
Taylor, the president of the Washington State Girls Basketball Coaches Association, said the situation has led to rumors of games being thrown for a better opportunity to advance.
"That's just rumors, but yeah, it could be an issue," Taylor said. "... Ultimately everybody wants to get to the dome to have that state experience so it's a moral dilemma for a coach in a sense. Do I have a team give it their all or do I just lose to get a better chance of getting to the dome?"
Colbrese called the rumors "disappointing" and said the WIAA will continue to post the postseason draws early in the season, because it shows transparency. He is worried that if the draws are not announced beforehand, the WIAA will be accused of "plotting certain draws" and purposefully picking certain matchups.
"The (WIAA executive) board believes the honorable thing to do is show it before," he said.
Some like the new format
While the current format has its detractors, there are those who prefer the present setup.
"I like the fact that you go down there on Saturday and you can watch four state championships," said Tom Lafferty, the sports director for Fox Sports 1380 AM in Everett who has done play-by-play of high school athletics for 28 years. "One ticket, one night, one city."
Colbrese, who will complete the state tournament trifecta next week with trips to the Spokane Arena on Thursday, the SunDome on Friday and the Tacoma Dome on Saturday, leaves the door open for a possible return to the 16-team, one-site format. However, there would have to be a steady increase in attendance to justify the change, he said.
Sood and the WIBCA plan to continue fighting for a 16-team, one-site tournament.
"I really can't say how optimistic I am," Sood said. "This is a format that's been here for four years and it doesn't look like we'll switch back. ... I think it's just going to be looking at how it's going to get better. But I think the whole basketball community would be elated if we went back to the 16-team state tournament."

Kentwood boys beat Jackson 67-58 in the 4A state championship game.
April 24, 2010
The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association executive board votes to change the state boys and girls basketball tournaments from 16-team, double-elimination tournaments to 8-team, double-elimination tournaments with a loser-out regional round preceding each one.
July 27, 2010
The WIAA executive board decides that the format for the inaugural regional round of the state basketball tournament will include a pair of No. 1 and 2 seeds at each site and two rounds, with the winner of the No. 1 seeds advancing to state and the loser remaining alive to play the winner of the No. 2 seeds for the final state berth.
April 20, 2011
The WIAA executive board votes to make the 2012 regional round of the state basketball tournament single elimination with first round games being held at local sites. They also decide to rebrand the regional round as regionals, not state.
April, 2011
the Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association posts a letter to the WIAA expressing its disappointment in the association's decision to keep the regional round of the tournament and to create single-elimination regional round. In the letter, which WIBCA posted on its website, the association writes "we feel strongly that the WIAA continues to lessen the experience of state basketball tournaments and is not making the positive experience for the student-athlete a paramount issue, and it appears to be last on the list."
Feb. 4, 2014
The WIAA announces changes to its process for assigning games to approved regional sites for the first round of the state boys and girls basketball tournaments. Teams will no longer be able to host regional games and sites will be chosen to based on limiting travel as much as possible. The WIAA made the changes based on complaints from coaches and fans.
