Topic: Reid


  
  Thomas Reid (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Thomas Reid (1710-1796) is a Scottish philosopher and one of the founders of the "common sense" school of philosophy.
Reid accepts that the qualities which we ordinarily conceive objects to have — whether shapes, sizes and motions, on the one hand, or colors, sounds, tastes and smells, on the other — are genuinely possessed by those objects (barring illusions and disorders of various sorts, which are, incidentally, difficult for Reid to explain).
Reid does not rest content to defend the claim that human beings are the efficient causes of their own behavior by responding to the best objections to it; he also provides three positive arguments for the claim which he labels, prosaically, the ‘first ’, ‘second ’ and ‘third argument for moral liberty ’.

  Thomas Reid   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Thomas Reid was born on 26 April 1710, the son of the Presbyterian minister of Strachan in Kincardineshire, Scotland.
Reid was not narrowly concerned with the theory of knowledge; he also engaged his consider- able intellectual energy in many other aspects of science and philosophy, exhibiting a typical Enlightenment ambition of achieving collective progress through individual improvement.
Reid’s solution was that this regress is not in fact what happens; to have power over one’s will is not itself an act of will, but rather the ability to judge rationally what it is that one wills.

 US Senator Harry Reid for Nevada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Reid has similar praise for Nickles and said their history of working together goes back to the early 1990s, when the Democrat served as chairman of the Appropriations subcommittee on the legislative branch and Nickles was the ranking member.
Reid, who was co-chairman of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee at the time, started a leadership PAC in 1998 and began doling out contributions to his Senate Democratic colleagues and challengers running for election.
Reid said he decided to run for the post because he felt one of the problems with the Senate is that there are not enough people on the floor to help things move along smoothly.

 Reid Land Deal Under Scrutiny - washingtonpost.com
Harry M. Reid of Nevada, the Senate's top Democrat, said yesterday that he was in discussions with the chamber's ethics committee to determine whether he should amend his financial disclosure forms to include details of a real estate transaction that allowed him to collect $1.1 million.
Reid also did not divulge the 2001 transfer of the land to a company he co-owned with a friend, a transaction that would normally call for a mention in Senate financial disclosure documents, the AP said.
Reid and his wife purchased the land in Clark County, on the outskirts of Las Vegas, in 1998 for $400,000.

To best view Reid's pole in Skidegate, you must walk back to the edge of the shore and observe it both as an independent work of art and in its relationship to the Haida-style building for which it was carved.
Reid held honorary doctoral degrees from Trent University, the University of British Columbia, the University of Toronto, the University of Victoria, the University of Western Ontario and York University.
Bill Reid’s legacy is the volume of extraordinary works of art that he created for public and private collections, as well as the works created by a generation of young Haida artists whom he inspired and mentored.

 ToffeeWeb's Everton Hall of Fame: Reid, Peter
Peter Reid: a man you'd far rather play with than against; the kind of character who's usually described as someone you'd have fighting alongside you in the trenches.
Everton's revival of the spring of 1984 after he broke into the team cannot be wholly coincidental as he and Andy Gray inspired them to the FA Cup.
Reid's last two years at Goodison were spent as player-coach under Colin Harvey before he was allowed to leave, too soon in the opinion of some, for Queen's Park Rangers in 1989.

 Reid Meets Magee At The Crossroads
Reid cracks the top 10 in the IBF ratings, whilst Magee is rated in the top 10 by the WBA and WBC, and the winner of this contest is certain to find themselves in the rankings of three of the major bodies.
Yes, Reid has always been capable of turning in a lacklustre performance, but at the age of 33, and with the terrible disappointment of the Calzaghe and now the Ottke title challenges, I don’t believe that Reid is going to allow this chance to slip by without giving it his maximum effort.
Reid knows that at 33 he isn’t going to get too many more chances, and that a win over Magee will not only give him a minor IBO title, but a chance to put his name up in the elite, with a view to taking on the current major belt holders.

Reid’s endorsements by top Republicans are remarkable considering that Reid won reelection in 1998 by only 428 votes and the number of registered Republicans in the state has grown since then.
Reid’s support among influential Republicans is the culmination of his six-month effort to lock up their allegiance and scare away Republican challenges.
Reid has also captured the support of other big-name Republicans in the gaming industry, such as Terri Lanni, the CEO of MGM Mirage, Tom Brietling and Tim Poster, owners of the Golden Nugget, and Richard Bunker, former president of the Nevada Resort Association.
