Please join me in congratulating Al on receiving a very impressive grant from the John Templeton Foundation for the project: "Free Will: Human and Divine--Empirical and Philosophical Explorations." For more information on the project please see this website. This is very exciting for Al, as well as for future research on free will.
Congrats, Al!

Man, that stinks, Al. Sorry to hear your going to have to handle all that money; not to mention the responsibility for our sub-discipline. What a bummer.
Or, sincere congratulations!!

Congratulations Al!
And don't forget about the unfortunate skeptics out there. Our poor job performance makes successful grant applications that much more important.
