The Analytic Functionalists Were (Probably) Right!
The mind-body problem asks: How are mental states related to physical states of the brain, the body, and behavioral states more generally? Functionalists claim that mental states are identical with functional roles, defined as relations between environmental impingements, external behaviors, and other mental states.Analytic functionalists contend that these identities are imposed by folk psychological theory. Thus, analytic functionalism makes a specific empirical claim: that ordinary people conceptualize mental states in terms of their functional roles. Notoriously, this claim has met with intuition pump style challenges, such as Block's Nation of China and Searle's Chinese Room, which purport to demonstrate via our own intuitive assessments of cases that we do not ordinarily conceptualize mental states solely in terms of their functional roles. Discussion of these examples constituted a large chunk of philosophy of mind near the end of the 20thcentury, without reaching any very definite conclusions. But, as Lewis (1972) points out, analytic functionalism's empirical claim "can be tested, in principle, in whatever way any hypothesis about the conventional meaning of our words can be tested."
Recently, an experimental challenge to this empirical claim has arisen in the form of the embodiment hypothesis (discussed here, here, and here). According to the embodiment hypothesis, while information about behavior and other functional cues may be sufficient for ordinary attributions of intentional states, only entities with the right kind of biological body are typically thought to have phenomenally conscious experiential states. Proponents of the embodiment hypothesis have argued that empirical research on how people attribute mental states to groups, robots, and God support their view (here is a succinct overview). Based on this research, it may have seemed reasonable to conclude that analytic functionalism rested on a mistaken conception of how people talk and think about mental states. However, Wesley Buckwalter and I (along with others) have recently been uncovering a number of results that cast a more favorable light on analytic functionalism and seem to challenge the embodiment view. As discussed here, people are perfectly willing to attribute phenomenal states to robots when they are described in a way that calls to mind certain key functionalist assumptions. Mental state attributions to groups constitute evidence for the embodiment view only on the assumption that those attributions are to groups over-and-above their members—an assumption that Adam Arico, Shaun Nichols and I have argued against here. And Wesley and I have recently found that people are no less willing to attribute happiness and anger to a disembodied ghost than to his physical human counterpart, provided the ghost satisfies the appropriate causal roles. These findings led us to re-evaluate crucial studies taken to support disembodiment, and in many cases we found that those studies fail to control for function in important ways. As we discuss in the attached paper, this has led us via abductive argument to conclude that the analytic functionalists were (probably) right. It seems that ordinary people do conceive of mental states as functional relations between environmental impingements, external behaviors, and other mental states.

Interesting stuff, thanks for posting.A couple of questions:
1. Does this confuse 'X is evidence for Y' and 'Y is constituted by x'?
Even if people indeed tend to ascribe mental states based on criteria like causal role, is that really to say that they think such mental states are constituted by said causal role? Does grandma think her stomach hurts because it fills some abstract causal role, but has no intrinsic features, or does she think her stomach hurts because that is how it intrinsically feels to her? The latter seems right to me. And this is what makes things like qualia inversion type scenarios so tough for the hard-core functionalist. There is nothing intrinsic upon which to pin down the qualia of blue, say.
2. Truth versus conceptual anthropology
Given that the folk aren't even good at physics, I am very doubtful that folk psychology is a useful avenue to the truth. To put it bluntly, why give such pre-scientific backwoods intuitions about extremely complex matters so much attention in the first place? Are philosophers really in the business because they want to understand uninformed people's intuitions about extremely complex matters, about which they are almost certain to be wrong?
On that vein, why not just say "Regardless of what the folk say, or what our polls suggest, I'm just advocating analytical functionalism as the best going hypothesis about the nature of mind."
John Schwenkler says December 8, 2012 at 12:33 pm
Eric, on #2, it's because then the thesis wouldn't be *analytic* functionalism, since that modifier marks it off as a thesis about everyday meaning, and not (just) a metaphysical one.
Mark Phelan says December 8, 2012 at 1:39 pm
Thanks for your comments, Eric. John's response handles 2. As for 1, we have a section in the paper discussing qualia. Our claim is that the folk psychological theory of qualia is representationalist. For example, people think of pain as physical damage and the experience of pain as a representation of physical damage. Same with colors. The folk psychological theory of color qualia is of a particular kind of experiential state (functionally defined, of course) that represents an external object as blue. (Of course, we don't think people have explicit, verbalized theories that specify these accounts of qualia. But people do attribute qualia, and when they do so competently, we maintain, this is the tacit theory by which they do it.) The representationalist account of qualia identifies qualia with objects external to the mind. As such they can go unnoticed, be shared (insofar as a body part can be shared), and admit of an appearance-reality distinction. Our case for folk representationalism is simply that people think qualia exhibit all of these properties.
This is all obviously quite collapsed…if you'd like to see more you can take a look at the last few pages of the paper. (Though, admittedly, the discussion of folk representationalism is much shorter than that of analytic functionalism.) In any case, thanks again for your comments!
Eric Thomson says December 8, 2012 at 2:21 pm
Thanks for the responses. On point number 2, fair enough.
On point 1: I had actually looked over that final part of the paper on qualia, and that is precisely what triggered my concern.
To repeat my concern in a different way: functional ascriptions are likely necessary, but not sufficient, for qualia ascription. For grandma, just having the experience is enough to ascribe the experience of pain (e.g., phantom limb pain, as her arm was removed in the war). Sure, she will say it is unpleasant, that it is an experience that is usually caused by tissue damage to her arm. However, the essential feature is that she has this pain, and all these other extrinsic facts are secondary.
The brief discussion, at the end of the paper, of the folk analysis of 'pain' (not the experience of pain, which is a very important distinction) didn't assuage these concerns. There is quite a bit of research on folk-concepts about experiences, for instance, that seems to contradict the main conclusions. For instance there is clearly a sense in which people don't think their dreams are public or can be shared (I can track down the papers on this if you are interested but Google can probably reveal them). Perhaps there is a sense of 'pain' in which it is public, can be shared, but clearly that is not the sense relevant here, for the quali-freaks.
On the other hand, there could simply be two sets of conditions, each sufficient to ascribe experiences of pain. One is purely functional, one purely experiential. In that case, you would need to show that the two are actually equated among the folk.
To get at this you could look at folk responses to inversion thought experiments, in which an experience of a red sunset is swapped for an experience of pain in my toe (or something). E.g., ask subjects if this 'experience of a red sunset' caused them to jump about holding their toe, would it become an experience of pain in the toe? Something like that. Now of course, if you were to ask, which is more similar to a pain in the toe–an experience of a red sunset enjoyed at the beach, or an experience of a red sunset that causes you to jump around screaming about your toe–they will say the latter. But nothing will take away their conceptual ability to discriminate between the two experiences, regardless of any functional connections.
That's my hypothesis, anyway.
Mark Phelan says December 8, 2012 at 4:53 pm
Eric, let me repeat myself. The proposal is that people identify qualitative states with representational states of a certain type (where the relevant type is functionally specified). Given that proposal, we would not expect them to identify an experience of (a representation of) a red sunset that causes you to jump around screaming about your toe with an experience of (a representation of) a pain in your toe. Qualitative states are not simply functional states on our proposal. What they represent matters.
The stuff on dreams may or may not be relevant. As described it strikes me as irrelevant. We obviously think mental states are proprietary, and dreams are paradigmatic mental states.
That said, the discussion of representationalism at the end of the paper is, as you say, brief, and not worked out sufficiently to constitute a full proposal. It is a suggestion at the end of a paper whose main point is to defend analytic functionalism and argue against the embodiment view. We hope to write another paper on representationalism.
Eric Thomson says December 8, 2012 at 11:46 pm
We obviously think mental states are proprietary
It wasn't obvious to me, due to claims like pains are "a property of objects external to the mind…If pains are properties of bodies, they can go unnoticed (or un-experienced) as can other properties of our bodies. Pains can be shared according to this view." So pains can be shared, but dreams cannot be shared? I agree they shouldn't be shared, but I still don't see in your proposals what would preclude this.
I think painting folk theories of consciousness as proto-representational is promising, but if you parse representational views in purely functional terms then it could run into trouble. However, you do say "Qualitative states are not simply functional states on our proposal. What they represent matters." But what they represent is also defined functionally, no, in terms of relations to inputs, not in terms of their neural or other intrinsic properties. Which leads back to grandma explicating her pain in terms of how it feels, not functionally.
Mark Phelan says December 9, 2012 at 12:04 am
Well there's an ambiguity to the term "pain". It's probably easier if we distinguish pains and pain experiences. Pain is physical damage, as we say in the paper, so is not a mental states. Pain experiences are mental states–that is, experiences of pains are mental states. Pain experiences are proprietary. It may be thought that they cannot be shared. I'm not sure saying their proprietary requires any particular position on that, but I expect what is thought to be true of dreams in this respect is thought to be true of pain experiences, beliefs, etc.
I don't want to parse representation in purely functional terms (it wouldn't be much of an addition to functionalism in that case!), but nor do I have a specific theory of representation. I'm inclined to adopt some version of externalism.
Very interesting. Here are some thoughts/ questions that could be addressed in future work:
First, the distinction between "individuals" and "groups" seems to be relative to a level of description: On a microscopic scale, our brains are vast groups of neurons, and while they interact and are closely related, so do group entities like corporations, though admittedly to a lesser extent. One question is then whether the folk, on being given a detailed explanation of how some part of the brain works, or of neurons, dendrites and synapses in general, would feel an intuitive pull towards a dualistic view: they might think such an ensemble couldn't be conscious any more than a corporation could, and posit a more unified agent like a soul (BTW, this resembles Scholastic arguments for the simplicity of the soul). Another question is, if the folk would still think that brains could be the subjects of intentional and phenomenal states but NOT that corporations could, whether the difference would arise because the members of a corporation have thoughts and experiences of their own, while neurons are thought not to have them. If so, that would seem to show that people fail to ascribe thoughts and experiences to corporations because they think that if the members of a group have thoughts and experiences the group cannot–the mental states of the members "crowd out" any potential mental states of the group–not just because they are a group. On this view groups could still be conscious if their members are not.
Eric Thomson says December 9, 2012 at 2:32 am
This all seems reasonable, which is why I wrote a couple of comments ago:
"The brief discussion, at the end of the paper, of the folk analysis of
'pain' (not the experience of pain, which is a very important
distinction) didn't assuage these concerns [blah blah blah concerns] On the other hand, there could simply be two sets of conditions, each
sufficient to ascribe experiences of pain. One is purely functional, one
purely experiential. In that case, you would need to show that the two
are actually equated among the folk. "

Lewis Carroll got it wrong. Alice was NOT a silly little girl who fell down a rabbit hole. Wonderland is a real place, and Alyss Heart is its rightful Queen. The problem is, she's trapped in Victorian England while her band of rebels tries to hold off the armies of her murderous Aunt Redd. This is no mere fantasy adventure; this is the true story of Alice in Wonderland, and a fractured fable that parallels our own real world.

This is one of my favorite books I've read in a while. This book is a very well thought out twist on a classic book from 1865, Alice in Wonderland. But the author who wrote Alice in wonderland got the whole thing wrong, he even spelled her name wrong! It's Alyss not Alice! This book is also a story of Alyss Heart who has an evil aunt Redd trying to win the throne of wonderland. My favorite character is Hatter Madigan because he is very mysterious and cool. I strongly suggest anyone who likes adventure and action or fantasy to read this book.

New method yields synthetic collagen
Houston — Rice University researchers have developed a new method for making synthetic collagen, ScienceDaily reports.
The material, which forms from a liquid in as little as an hour, has many of the properties of natural collagen and may prove useful as a scaffold for regenerating new tissues and organs from stem cells, researchers say.
ScienceDaily quotes Jeffrey Hartgerink, Ph.D., associate professor of chemistry and bioengineering at Rice, as saying, "Our final product more closely resembles native collagen than anything that's previously been made, and we make that material using a self-assembly process that is remarkably similar to processes found in nature."
Dr. Hartgerink said that while it's too early to determine whether the synthetic collagen can be substituted medically for human or animal-derived collagen, the first signs are encouraging. The enzyme that the body uses to break down native collagen also breaks down the new material at a similar speed.
Researchers must now determine whether cells can live and grow in the new material and whether it performs the same way as native collagen does, Dr. Hartgerink said, adding that any clinical trials are at least five years away.
The research appeared in the journal Nature Chemistry.

When Vineet Nayar took the helm of HCL Technologies in 2005, the company's legacy of success was threatened by global shifts in the IT services market that left HCLT struggling to keep up with its bigger rivals. Five years later, the company had become one of the fastest-growing IT services partners on the planet, world-renowned for its radical management practices. In fact, its bold management experiments enabled it to enjoy continued rapid growth through the economic recession.
What did HCLT do to effect such a transformation? As Vineet Nayar describes in this refreshing book – EMPLOYEES FIRST, CUSTOMER SECOND: Turning Conventional Management Upside Down – HCLT's success resulted from putting employees first, especially those working in the "value zone" where company and customer interact. To do so, they did not institute any employee satisfaction programs, undertake any massive restructuring, or pursue any major technology initiatives. Instead, they employed a number of relatively simple catalysts that produced big (and often unexpected) results and proceeded through four phases:
Rumour is that Vineet Nayar has invented a whole new way of configuring and managing an enterprise. I think there's more than a grain of truth to that. I'm on the verge of declaring that Mr. Nayar could be the next Peter Drucker. - Tom Peters, Author of In Search of Excellence "Vineet Nayar has a revolutionary idea-the business relationships are personal relationships, and that a successful company will understand and integrate that philosophy. Nayar's notions of 'trust, transparency, and the romance of tomorrow' will rejuvenate the corporate soul." - Judy McGrath CEO, MTV

Q. I'm nervous if my daughter has a fever. Are fevers dangerous, and how can homeopathy help?
Fevers can be scary, particularly for parents with a sick child. If your daughter is running a fever, your first reaction is likely to reach for an over-the-counter pain reliever to lower her temperature to make her more comfortable. However, in most cases, fever is simply one symptom of an illness-a signal that your body is fighting off an infection.
During an infection, the body responds by heating up, which helps to increase production of white blood cells and signal the release of additional interferon to help boost your ability to ward off invaders and accelerate the healing process. If you immediately give your daughter an over-the-counter pain reliever, she may feel more comfortable (less warm) but you are also suppressing the action of the fever—it can no longer do its job and help accelerate the healing process.
Adults can tolerate higher temperatures (up to 107.6 degrees Fahrenheit) without lasting consequences, but if an infant (less than six months old) has any fever, or if your child's temperature rises to 103.5 degrees Fahrenheit for longer than six hours, contact your physician for instructions. The same holds true for any fever that lasts longer than three days.
When a fever strikes older children and adults, however, homeopathy can provide a gentle way to stimulate their inner healing resources, while supporting the body through the fever, by encouraging the body's natural defenses to resolve the root cause of the illness.
In using homeopathy, it is important to remember that homeopaths look at all diseases as syndromes, which express themselves as a number of common patterns of symptoms that vary with each person and each illness. Homeopathy may not treat the fever, per se, but the cluster of symptoms you are experiencing as a result of your illness or condition.
To use homeopathy effectively, you first need to define your daughter's specific symptoms. Below are four of the most common remedies that include fever in the "syndrome of symptoms." To choose the best remedy, match the symptoms as closely as possible.
Aconitum (monkshood)This remedy works best during the first 24 hours of a fever. When your fever begins rapidly, usually starting at night or sometimes after exposure to the cold or cold, dry winds, reach for Aconitum. You may also feel chilled, along with the cold sweats. Other symptoms might include a sore throat with burning pain that worsens when swallowing and/or a short dry cough.
Belladonna (deadly nightshade)When you have a similarly rapid onset of a high fever, but also experience a flushed face, reddened mucous membranes, glassy eyes, and cold limbs, consider Belladonna. Additional symptoms may include a throbbing headache and dilated pupils.
Ferrum phos (iron phosphate)A fever that begins gradually without any significant intense symptoms calls for Ferrum phos as the appropriate remedy. Often your skin...

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- The Kentucky Senate has passed a bill that would allow alcohol sales on Election Day.
The sale of alcohol at restaurants, bars, and stores on voting day has been illegal since the Prohibition era. Kentucky and South Carolina are the last states that still have Election Day alcohol bans.
The bill now goes to the Kentucky House for consideration.

Researchers from Berkeley Lab are the first to discover that the SATB1 protein is a key determinant in the acquisition and maintenance of the metastatic phenotype of breast cancer, and that SATB1 may be used as a new diagnostic and prognostic marker, and therapeutic target, for aggressive breast cancers.
In addition to discovering that the expression of SATB1 is an excellent indicator of aggressive breast cancer cells, the Berkeley Lab research team also learned that SATB1 protein expression in aggressive breast cancer can be down-regulated, thus preventing a cell from becoming metastatic.
SATB1 is an especially powerful target for breast cancer because the protein is a genome organizer that orchestrates the expression of hundreds of genes by regulating higher-order chromatin structure and epigenetic status of target gene loci. SATB1 has a potential to promote chromosomal instability.
The Berkeley Lab research team examined the SATB1 protein expression levels in various breast cancer cell lines, and human breast cancer tissue specimens from approximately 1,000 patients, and found that SATB1 expressions are detected mainly in highly aggressive late-stage breast cancers, but not in normal breast tissue cells or nonaggressive breast cancers. The Berkeley Lab researchers successfully linked SATB1 expression levels to a breast cancer cell's progression from a normal to invasive phenotype. Since SATB1 appears strongly connected to aggressive breast cancers, it promises to be an effective prognostic and diagnostic marker for detecting aggressive cancer cells.
The researchers studied over 1,000 breast cancer specimens with known follow-up records. Among these specimens, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of 985 ductal carcinoma specimens revealed a correlation between higher SATB1 expression levels and shorter overall survival times (P<0.0001). This was also true for all breast cancer types (1,318 specimens) except medullary cancer. Multivariate analysis confirmed that SATB1 is an independent prognostic marker for breast cancer (P<0.0001). This means that expression of SATB1 in a subset of primary breast tumors at early clinical stages prior to lymph node metastasis has high prognostic significance, independent of the lymph node status (P<0.0001), and may be useful in predicting the likelihood of disease progression in patients with early-stage breast cancer.
Research indicates that SATB1 is a key determinant for the acquisition and maintenance of the metastatic phenotype of breast cancer. When the Berkeley Lab researchers treated late-stage aggressive cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 and BT549) with designed target sequences for SATB1-shRNA to reduce SATB1 expression, the cells' phenotypes reverted from invasive to noninvasive, and their tumor growth was abrogated in vivo. Conversely, ectopic SATB1 expression in nonaggressive (SKBR3) cells made these cells acquire metastatic activity in vivo.
Drug resistant aggressive breast cancer cells can restore their sensitivity to drugs by reducing SATB1 expression. Therefore, targeting SATB1 expression is potentially useful in treating drug resistant cancer cells.
Before the Berkeley Lab research team's discoveries of the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic benefits of controlling SATB1 expression in treating aggressive breast cancers, it was unknown whether a breast cancer cell's metastatic phenotype in vivo could be reversed to a non-tumorigenetic state. The Berkeley Lab SATB1 marker and target has the potential to be one of the most definitive breast cancer therapeutic targets to date. Therapeutics targeted against SATB1 might include siRNA oligonucleotides, antisense oligonucleotides, peptides, aptamers, and small molecules.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE: UPDATED for 2010
Berkeley Lab researchers are continuing their work to identify the expression of SATB1 in the bloodstream.
They are also evaluating the following:

Yes, we can end present economic crisis if we try to solve it with something more than what I would call a Keynesian prayer.
Let me start with a cryptic, if slightly inaccurate, anatomy of the crisis:
Many banks made loans to sub-prime borrowers and expected to be repaid from rising housing prices. When prices failed to rise and even fell, they incurred huge losses. Banks foreclosed properties but presently there are no buyers.
Moreover, the banks had created a massive superstructure of varieties of CDOs and CDSs over the initial loan assets. When the loans failed, the entire superstructure increased the losses manifold. These losses were judged unaffordable and government stepped in to help the financial institutions hoping that once the economy gathers momentum, the aid given to these institutions would be repaid. As of now this hope is not likely to be fulfilled. And, not only the ability of the governments to continue supporting financial institutions in distress is greatly diminished, but ability of the governments to remain solvent has been questioned.
The crux of the problem remains the losses of the banks over sub-prime loans. If they recover the monies lent, entire superstructure of derivatives would regain much of its value and the government would regain the funds lent to the these institutions. How this can be achieved?
Presently the size of our markets are limited to affordability and willingness of the buyers to make a purchase. Foreclosed houses have no such eligible buyers at present.
However, if we allow a kind of lottery and encourage people to lose a small sum to `win' foreclosed property instead of `buying' it, there could possibly be sufficient number of punters for many of the properties. When foreclosed properties are sold, banks recover their losses. To the extent banks are able to recover their losses, the value of derivatives would be regained and losses on superstructure would also be reduced. If losses of the banks are sizeably reduced, there would be no need for government support. Economy can start functioning normally within, say, 2-3 years.

Dec 21 2012: No, I am sure that it cannot be validity or effectivity for happiness. However, if the perceptions and expectations change, people can start working for their own version of happiness - something that is blocked in the present recessionary times. The world failed in containing undue or irrational exuberance and now it is now shying from acting to contain the negative outlook of the people too. That and that only needs to change. Beyond correcting unduly pessimistic outlook I think nothing more should be done.
Dec 23 2012: However
Does economic crisis come from greed?
Does greed come from invalid (ineffective , bad) happiness?
(For INVALID happiness, see the 1st article, points 1-3, at https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D&id=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D%21283&sc=documents)
Dec 23 2012: Present discussion is about how to end financial crisis. Discussion on happiness is besides the point in present discussion. A separate forum for discussing what constitutes `development' was started by President Sarkozy in 2008 by establishing a commission for the purpose. However, deliberations of the commission have not gained much coverage.

This writer won't be complaining that there isn't a dating scene on the Hill. In fact, I'm gonna rebel against my predecessors: I'm gonna claim that there is one.
You may ask, if there's a dating scene, then where the hell is it? Is it in the Caf booths? On the elliptical machines? By the P.O. boxes? In the library study rooms? Okay, maybe it's in the study rooms, but it's certainly not anywhere else you can see.
M'friends. Listen to me. You must not look for the dating scene of which I speak in these places. This is a far better kept secret. This dating scene lurks in the deepest and darkest of places, in a world of underscores and asterisks, of $3Kr3+ 3-l337 l4ngU4g3$, and of Paris Hilton sex tapes. Dare I say it, the dating scene you seek may live online.
In a conversation with a few of my friends the other day, one student ('07) announced that she had met her boyfriend on Match.com. Referring to herself as (heaven forbid!) a loser, she turned red and prepared herself for the worst. Prior to her admission, she had been attractive, popular and respected. As an online dater, she knew she would be a freak, a reprobate, a social outcast.
To our surprise, another friend said she had recently gone on a date with a guy she had met on HotOrNot.com. In fact, I confessed, I had met my boyfriend on MySpace. The entire social circle was currently participating in happy relationships that had begun online.
What? Is everyone an online dater? Has love at first sight become a common, pixelated, photoshopped encounter? We put our heads together and thought up a few couples we knew who had met online. They were all quite respectable people, whose relationships were mostly very successful. So why the stigma?
Upon further reflection, I realized that a lot of friends and family members, not to mention myself, have been very grateful for relationships that began online. Whether platonic, romantic or teasingly in between, the Internet allows us to screen our potential friends and lovers.
When we're browsing or searching profiles, we can learn about a person's height, weight, hair color, gender, sexuality, race, religion, income, job title, residential locale and political views. We can learn their tastes in music, art, movies, clothing, television, literature. We can find our other half! You can find the one and only other person who purchased the limited edition Vulcan to Klingon dictionary you've always wanted.
Just looking at someone's Facebook profile, it can be pretty easy to tell whether you two would get along like Ozzie and Harriet or like Michael Moore and Ann Coulter. Just remember that the person you're seeing and lusting for might simply be an image that the person wants to project this image may have little or nothing to do with the person you'd actually meet in person. On the other hand, the images that we wish to project can speak volumes about our goals and desires. While a person's profile online may not tell you who they are, it might tell you who they want to be. For some, this is an equally useful bit of knowledge.
Some websites used commonly by St. Olaf students for dating include Match.com, Facebook, MySpace, Craigslist, Gay.com, Yahoo! Personals and HotOrNot.com. Remember that people who use these services may be seeking anything from kinky phone sex to a lifelong spiritual partnership.
A bit of advice about all these websites and potential dating services: be aware of the user's fee. A lot of these websites will lure lonely customers with stories of people meeting a perfect match. Don't let the websites take advantage of your pocketbook and emotional vulnerability.
Moreover, exercise caution when revealing personal information, talking on the phone and meeting in person for the first time. Always meet someone from online in a safe, public place. Let a friend know where you are. Browse through the list of level-three sex offenders, and just double-check that your dream date isn't on it before you prance over to Goodbye Blue Monday, waiting for your future spouse.
Sex-related comments, questions and/or suggestions can be e-mailed to email@example.com.

Kenny Perry is about as country as a pair of bib overalls. (Which he occasionally wears.) He lives in the country, no reflection on Franklin, Ky., where he has always been home. He decided Franklin needed a golf course, so he built one, bought 142 acres and borrowed $2.5 million to foot the bill. Naturally, he named it Country Creek.
Rees Jones and Tom Fazio and all those other designers of golf courses are safe. Kenny won't be horning in on their trade. Country Creek looks nice from the interstate, makes you want to stop and play nine. But I'll tell you, the little course will weary your limbs. It's not, I might add, the kind of club that invites wedding parties and frou-frou fandangos.
But that's not what we're here to talk about today. We're talking about Kenny Perry, who would be the club pro, if Country Creek had one. He's busy on the road, has been since 1987, and going into this season had earned $26-million-plus playing the PGA Tour. He has contributed mightily to the town economy, and to two educational institutions.
Right now he is working on the prospect of picking up another $10 million to add to his bounty. He is leading the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, by two strokes over Tiger Woods, and if he holds up one more day, 10 mil would be has. It's a complicated process, and I won't bother to explain it here, even if I could. Just understand that five players have a leg up on the rest of the field of 30 — Tiger Woods, Steve Stricker, Jim Furyk, Zach Johnson and Heath Slocum.
If Perry holds his lead through the final round Sunday, he takes the pot. Can you imagine that, the master of Country Creek at Franklin, Ky., stashing away 10 million bucks for four days of golf. He could build 10,000 more Country Creeks, and he wouldn't have to do any more mowing, or working the counter.
It has taken him 49 years to hit his prime, and if you weren't aware of his age, network broadcasters will annoy you with their constant reminders. As if, at his age, he is booking a reservation in some retirement colony. He had his richest moment last year, when the Ryder Cup came to Kentucky, and he qualified for the U.S. team.
The President's Cup is coming up this month, but when someone brought that up, he left no doubt about the Cup that he preferred. "I was so nervous in front of my home state at Valhalla in the Ryder Cup," and he left no doubt where his heart lies.
He changed caddies the other day, putting aside a fellow who had been his associate on the bag for several years, and it did strike a sour note. But you could understand — he put the bag in the hands of his son, and they were the Team Perry at East Lake. Now, if the rain has abated, and the flood that struck shortly after play Saturday, the issue will be settled Sunday. Say this for Rob Johnston and Danny Yates, the co-chairs, they abided by the weather authority, moved up the start and the timing couldn't have been better. Thirty minutes after the finish, down came enough rain to float an ark.
September 26th, 2009
7:04 pm
Perry can only take the pot if Tiger finishes tried for 3rd or lower.
September 29th, 2009
4:24 pm
Tiger finishes second – bigger payday than winner Mickelson, nice…
Feel bad for Perry – but $330,000 will buy a few beans.

The Oregon cheerleaders wearing bikinis at Oregon's Triangle Lake is quickly becoming a college tradition unlike any other. Sure, the USC Song Girls wearing their sweaters into the Lake Tahoe waters is cool, but there are like four girls at that event. Not the UO cheer team. Last week, they packed a bus, brought along the Duck and made a 37 mile drive to the lake.
How does the top college cheerleading team keep its crown? A lake bikini-fest.
The cheerleaders followed up the lake trip with this weekend's fan fest. Football can officially kickoff on Thursday.

In the desire for unusual ideals and their further development into true product innovations, Henkel has long collaborated with external partners such as renowned research institutes, universities and similar organizations, as well as utilizing the extensive expertise available from its own research and development activities. Now, through the 'Henkel Innovation Trophy', Henkel also hopes for the first time to systematically engage with creative talents outside the company so that, through effective collaboration, new products can be introduced into the market in a faster, more effective and more efficient manner.
This initiative is aimed at independent inventors wishing to submit ideas that have already been the subject of published patent applications or patents already granted relating to appropriate products and processes. The company is also interested in ideas that may be the subject of registered designs, utility models or associated applications pending. The concepts need to offer a good fit with the portfolios of Henkel's four business sectors: Laundry & Home Care, Cosmetics/Toiletries, Consumer and Craftsmen Adhesives, and Henkel Technologies. Registration could not be simpler: applicants will find an online form at the Henkel website www.innovation.henkel.com that they can simply complete and send electronically. Alternatively, they can request that the documentation be sent by post by writing to: Henkel KGaA, 'Henkel Innovation Trophy', 40191 Düsseldorf, Germany. Each submitted idea will be carefully examined by a specially convened committee comprising internal and external experts to determine the extent to which it suits the Henkel business mix, how innovative it is and what sort of market potential it offers.
Henkel will award the 'Henkel Innovation Trophy' together with an attractive cash prize for the best ideas received. The winners will also be offered the unique chance to enter into an agreement with Henkel covering commercialization of the associated proprietary rights.
As part of the 'Henkel Innovation Trophy' campaign, Henkel will also be cooperating closely with national and international inventor associations such as the 'Deutscher Erfinderverband' (DEV) and the 'United Inventors Association' in the USA. The period during which applications and submissions for the 'Henkel Innovation Trophy' are invited begins on December 15, 2006 and ends on April 15, 2007.

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents The Battle of Algiers. Thought provoking and chilling, The Battle of Algiers documents the bloody revolution of Algeria against its French rulers in 1960. Examining both sides of the struggle, shootings, terrorist plots and riots ravage the city of Algiers and culminate in the final battle which wins them their independence. Morals are questioned when resistance fighters use torture and French leaders bomb innocent citizens. Using documentary filming techniques and refusing to romanticize any of the protagonists, war is examined through a dramatic but unbiased lens of the brutal horrors necessary to achieve liberty.

Montevina's 2000 School House Road Zinfandel boasts a fascinating aroma of ripe blackberry and plum fruit with a distinctive roasted aroma reminiscent of syrah-based red wines from the Rhone Valley of France. On the palate, the wine is soft and lushly fruited, with rich, toasty, black fruit flavors. This truly delicious red wine makes an ideal accompaniment to barbecued chicken, roast beef, and grilled steak or lamb.
Before Prohibition, Italian immigrant grapegrowers in California often interplanted different grape varieties and produced "field blended" red wines. Inspired by this tradition, Montevina interplanted 40 acres of its estate vineyard, near an old schoolhouse on Shenandoah School Road in the Shenandoah Valley of Amador County, to 80% zinfandel, 13% petite syrah, and 7% barbera in order to produce this unique, delicious red wine.
For more than 150 years, fortune seekers have been lured to California's rugged Sierra Foothills. Though they once came for the gold, these days they come for the wine—Terra d'Oro, to be more specific. Handcrafted from some of Amador County's most historic vineyards, Terra d'Oro wines are rich indeed, full of the character and intensity that perfectly captures the essence of this "Land of Gold."
Called gold country since the mid-1800's, the Sierra Foothills, located between Sacramento and the Nevada border, was a hot spot for those seeking a gold rush fortune. Some of these settlers brought some European vines with them and somewhere in that mix was the Zinfandel grape.

Today both DECC & HM Treasury published energy market reform, CCL and Carbon Price proposals in two separate consultation documents. As you can see below, our media release sees these proposals as a mixed bag. Whilst the energy market reforms should now provide new nuclear and low carbon investors with a stronger and predictable carbon price, the "Carbon Price Floor" Consultation from Treasury seems to add yet another layer of costs onto UK manufactures. We therefore may see a ready UK market that overseas competitors can take full advantage from:
Energy reforms are mixed bag - EEF
Electricity market reforms to provide certainty and signal to investors but carbon price mechanism to increase costs and threaten industrial competitiveness
EEF, the manufacturers' organisation has given a mixed response to today's package of energy reforms.
Whilst it believes the electricity market reforms will provide a more predictable and cost effective approach to supporting low carbon energy, proposals for the carbon price support mechanism will increase the costs to manufacturers and threaten the ability of companies to invest for growth.
Commenting, EEF Director of Policy, Steve Radley, said:
"Today's reforms are likely to prove counter-productive. On the one hand government has provided a more predictable and cost effective approach to energy policy which should benefit both investors and consumers.
"It has also fired the starting gun for a policy that will prove the right market signal for investment in low carbon power generation to provide long term energy security.
"However, these reforms come at a significant price for UK manufacturers, including those who want to invest in low carbon technologies. The government's own impact assessment shows the carbon price reforms will damage competitiveness for over a decade but it offers no solutions that will mitigate this.
"Manufacturers will have to bear the costs and complexities of three different types of carbon and energy taxation (1). Government must now address how it plans to address the loss in competitiveness by working with industry to reform other aspects of climate policy such as the Carbon Reduction Commitment and Climate Change Levy."
Notes to Editors
1.The three types of carbon and energy taxation are:
· Climate Change Levy
· Carbon Reduction Commitment
· Carbon Support Price Mechanism (as proposed)
2. EEF, the manufacturers' organisation is the representative body for UK manufacturing. The EEF has a growing membership of almost 6,000 companies of all sizes, employing some 900,000 people from every sector of engineering, manufacturing, engineering construction and technology-based industries.

42 U.S. Code § 7506a - Interstate transport commissions
(a) Authority to establish interstate transport regions
Whenever, on the Administrator's own motion or by petition from the Governor of any State, the Administrator has reason to believe that the interstate transport of air pollutants from one or more States contributes significantly to a violation of a national ambient air quality standard in one or more other States, the Administrator may establish, by rule, a transport region for such pollutant that includes such States. The Administrator, on the Administrator's own motion or upon petition from the Governor of any State, or upon the recommendation of a transport commission established under subsection (b) of this section, may—
(1) add any State or portion of a State to any region established under this subsection whenever the Administrator has reason to believe that the interstate transport of air pollutants from such State significantly contributes to a violation of the standard in the transport region, or
(2) remove any State or portion of a State from the region whenever the Administrator has reason to believe that the control of emissions in that State or portion of the State pursuant to this section will not significantly contribute to the attainment of the standard in any area in the region.
The Administrator shall approve or disapprove any such petition or recommendation within 18 months of its receipt. The Administrator shall establish appropriate proceedings for public participation regarding such petitions and motions, including notice and comment.
(b) Transport commissions
(1) Establishment
Whenever the Administrator establishes a transport region under subsection (a) of this section, the Administrator shall establish a transport commission comprised of (at a minimum) each of the following members:
(C) The Regional Administrator (or the Administrator's designee) for each Regional Office for each Environmental Protection Agency Region affected by the transport region concerned.
(D) An air pollution control official representing each State in the region, appointed by the Governor.
Decisions of, and recommendations and requests to, the Administrator by each transport commission may be made only by a majority vote of all members other than the Administrator and the Regional Administrators (or designees thereof).
(2) Recommendations
The transport commission shall assess the degree of interstate transport of the pollutant or precursors to the pollutant throughout the transport region, assess strategies for mitigating the interstate pollution, and recommend to the Administrator such measures as the Commission determines to be necessary to ensure that the plans for the relevant States meet the requirements of section 7410 (a)(2)(D) of this title. Such commission shall not be subject to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.).
(c) Commission requests
A transport commission established under subsection (b) of this section may request the Administrator to issue a finding under section 7410 (k)(5) of this title that the implementation plan for one or more of the States in the transport region is substantially inadequate to meet the requirements of section 7410 (a)(2)(D) of this title. The Administrator shall approve, disapprove, or partially approve and partially disapprove such a request within 18 months of its receipt and, to the extent the Administrator approves such request, issue the finding under section 7410 (k)(5) of this title at the time of such approval. In acting on such request, the Administrator shall provide an opportunity for public participation and shall address each specific recommendation made by the commission. Approval or disapproval of such a request shall constitute final agency action within the meaning of section 7607 (b) of this title.

Movie Review: Dredd 3D
Austin360.com | Austin American-Statesman
It is an eternal question: Why remake a good movie? Shouldn't you be trying to remake bad ones? Well, that's what happened with "Dredd 3D," a second attempt to make Judge Dredd, the iconic British science-fiction comic book hero, work for the cinematic masses. You might recall the inadvertently cheesy first attempt starring Sylvester Stallone (who really did have the correct mouth) and, uh, Rob Schneider. Oops. But the stunningly violent "Dredd 3D" strips out pretense of satire, a crucial element of the British comic. Oops again.
Karl Urban, so genuinely funny and sweet as Dr. McCoy in the Star Trek reboot, stars as Judge Dredd, the one-man judge, jury and executioner that patrols MegaCity One, the vast urban area that stretches from Boston to Washington, D.C. The MegaCity is a hellish-looking place, dominated by 200-story tower blocks that look just miserable.
Dredd is asked to take on a rookie, Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), who is not a natural fit for the job, but is psychic. Dredd, a stickler for detail, naturally, is not wild about taking on a partner who failed the entrance exam, which results in a lot of Dredd demanding answers to law questions and frowning at her (Dredd never smiles on screen).
Things quickly go haywire when the two investigate some murders. Soon Dredd and Anderson find themselves locked in a tower block controlled by Ma-Ma (Lena Headey, who honed her chops as a sick loon playing Cersei Lannister on "Game of Thrones"), the leader of a drug cartel producing Slo-Mo, which reduces perception to one percent normal speed and gives director Pete Travis an excuse to do a lot of slow-motion 3D stuff.
This includes a tremendous amount of spurting blood. "Dredd" quickly devolves into a first-person shooter as Dredd and Anderson move through the building, "Dredd" becomes so gory, sadistic and dark that it moves well into horror territory, which might be perfect for Fantastic Fest, but it's not so hot for "Dredd."
None of this is really the actors' fault. In keeping with comic book tradition, we never see Dredd's face outside of the helmet, which works brilliantly in pen-and-ink, but reduces Urban's expressive face to a frowning mouth and a voice. So he sort of defaults to this Clint Eastwood thing that might resonate with people who have never heard of Dredd.
And the movie wastes completely Wood Harris (a.k.a. Avon Barksdale from "The Wire"), who spends most of his time in handcuffs and discusses what he's going to do to Anderson if he ever gets out of these cuffs. A shame.
There are moments of intelligence (if not humor,) a sub-story here about the nature of justice. Dredd seems like the ultimate no-second-chances guy, but he's not an idiot. Anderson, being psychic, can access the backstories of criminals and citizens in ways Dredd cannot. But the movie fails to develop these threads in favor of more gore (and no, absolutely no children should see this movie).
All of this represents a blown opportunity, but maybe it is for the best. Maybe some things just do not translate from the comics page at all.
It is an eternal question: Why remake a good movie? Shouldn't you be trying to remake bad ones? Well, that's what happened with "Dredd 3D," a second attempt to make Judge Dredd, the iconic British science-fiction comic book hero, work for the cinematic masses.(Full review)

Party On Guilt-Free With These Tailgating TreatsDitch the calorie bombs and raise your Solo Cup to
5 Simple Steps to Cellulite-Free Skin
Zap fat with cardio, and chances are, you'll lessen the look of cellulite. But the real exercise secret lies in one magic move: the lunge. You don't have to try it, unless, that is, you want firmer thighs.
Why it works: The lunge is one of your best weapons against cellulite, because it builds lean muscle in your butt and thighs, two cellulite-prone zones. Think of your leg as a legal pad: The paper is your fat, and the cardboard back is your muscle, says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., coauthor of No More Cellulite and research director at Quincy College in Massachusetts. If the cardboard is flimsy or missing altogether, the paper flops about, bulging inward and outward (as cellulite does); but if the cardboard is sturdy, the paper stays smooth.
To maximize the lunge's dimple-diminishing capabilities, watch your form: Never let your knees creep past your toes, and be sure to press the heel of your front foot into the floor and squeeze your glutes throughout, says Liz DiAlto, a fitness coach in New York City. Her routine: Do three sets of 12 to 20 reps of lunges on each leg, three or four times a week. In as little as one month, you'll see improvement.
