OBN Facilitates Funding to UK R&D Companies from the Biomedical Catalyst Scheme
Nov 08, 2012, 05:16 ET
ABINGDON, England, November 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
OBN, the trade association for emerging life sciences companies, is gratified to note the recent £39 million tranche in funding awards to UK life science companies under the Biomedical Catalyst Scheme administered by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB).
Since March 2012, OBN has held four events in Oxford, Cambridge and London where over 220 attendees from life science companies were able to meet, interact with and question the TSB staff responsible for the administration of the fund.
Senior managers from the 2012 Biomedical Catalyst Scheme winners Absynth, Glide Pharma, Arecor, Pharminox, Domainex, Summit, GeneFirst and Pharmidex all attended these OBN events.
At the second Oxford event in October this year, entitled "Learning from the Winners, How to Succeed with the Biomedical Catalyst Scheme", OBN was the first organisation to call on the UK Government to extend and expand on the industry component of the Biomedical Catalyst to £2bn over 10 years, which will help maintain the UK bioindustry's number one position in Europe.
Having presented at three of the OBN events, Dr Helen Kuhlman, Lead Technologist, Medicines and Healthcare, TSB commented, "OBN events have provided a great opportunity to reach out to exciting businesses and talk with the people responsible for developing innovative healthcare propositions about their challenges and aspirations."
Dr Jon Rees, CEO, OBN, commented, "OBN is delighted to work with the TSB in order to ensure that its members have the best chance of funding success. Having identified an effective scheme to stimulate innovative R&D, we hope the UK Government will build on this commitment toward ensuring the scheme is of a scale and duration sufficient to maintain the UK bioindustry's number one position in Europe."
OBN's early and comprehensive efforts on the BMC are part of our facilitation of funding for the early-stage UK life science sector that in the last year has also included presentations by partners from the Syncona Fund, Index Ventures and NeoMed to our members. In addition, OBN will host the second City Investment Network event at Baker Botts in the City of London later today, and the BMC will chair a showcase scientific session of the winners from the BMC Scheme at next year's BioTrinity conference which will be held in Newbury from the 14th to the 16th of May, 2013.

text: How Do I Become A Notary Signing Agent? Notary Signing Agents (NSA's) facilitate loan closings for the mortgage finance industry. You must be a Notary before starting the NSA certification process. Please be aware that opportunities to conduct loan signings may be limited or restricted in some states. The following information will answer many common questions. What is the process to become a Notary signing agent? You must be a Notary Public before starting the NSA certification process. Be sure to first review the list of state requirements and restrictions. Get NSA certified and background screened by a reputable company in order to meet the requirements of the title and signing service companies you wish to work for. Look into taking a training course to help you understand the duties of a signing agent and the contents of a typical loan document package. Purchase printing and mobile devices you may need for contacting companies and signers, printing and delivering documents. Consider membership in a professional organization to help keep you updated on industry updates. Promote yourself on signing agent databases so title and signing service companies can find you. Start working as a Notary signing agent. Frequently Asked Questions What is a Notary signing agent (NSA)? What are the benefits of becoming a signing agent? Is certification required? How often do I have to renew? Why do I need to have a background check? Are there any special requirements or restrictions in my state? What is the Signing Professionals Workgroup? How much can I charge for a loan signing? Are there any mentors out there? How do I get started? Where do I find work? What is a signing service? Do I need any additional Notary insurance? What kind of equipment will I need? How much legal risk might I face? Where can I go if I have more questions? What is a Notary signing agent? A Notary signing agent is a Notary who is specially trained to handle and notarize loan documents. For lenders, Notary signing agents are the critical final link to complete the loan. A Notary signing agent is hired as an independent contractor to ensure that real estate loan documents are executed by the borrower, notarized, and returned for processing on time. Completing this critical part of the loan process enables the loan to be funded. What are the benefits of becoming a signing agent? Signing agents not only earn income for loan documents but are also paid to perform courier services and ensure that completed loan packages are returned to the lender in a timely fashion. Many Notaries choose to work as signing agents as a part-time or full-time source of income. Is certification required? Certification is not required by law to become a signing agent. However, many companies ask signing agents they contract for assignments to be certified and background screened to meet Consumer Financial Protection Bureau compliance requirements for third-party service providers hired by financial institutions. Several private organizations offer training, certification and background screening for signing agents that meet the requirements of lenders, title companies and signing services. How often do I have to renew? There is no legal time requirement specified for renewing signing agent certification and background screenings. The Signing Professionals Workgroup (SPW) which has developed recommended industry certification standards to meet CFPB requirements, recommends that signing agents renew their background check. Why do I need to have a background check? In order to guard borrowers' private financial information, the mortgage industry requires all persons involved in the lending process to undergo background screenings. Lenders in turn instruct title services companies to ensure that everyone with access to mortgage documents has been screened. This requirement applies to everyone handling loan documents including Notaries who act as signing agents. Are there any special requirements or restrictions in my state? It depends on the state. A signing agent must be a commissioned/appointed/licensed Notary Public. Some states limit or restrict Notaries from working as signing agents, or include additional licensing requirements. For more information, see Signing Agent State Restrictions. What is the Signing Professionals Workgroup? The Signing Professionals Workgroup (SPW) creates, maintains and promotes professional standards for Notaries Public who provide signing services in connection with the closing of a mortgage finance or real property transaction. The SPW is an industry workgroup that includes mortgage lenders, title companies, signing services, trade associations, and educators of, and background screening providers and companies offering supportive services to, signing professionals. How much can I charge for a loan signing? There is no set fee schedule for Notary signing agents who perform loan document signing assignments. Signing agents are paid for notarizing documents, but also for courier services and delivery of completed loan packages. Each signing agent must negotiate their own fees based on their business expenses, the companies they work with, travel and time required for assignments and the demand for services in their area. Be aware that the federal government strictly prohibits collaboration to set fixed fees for loan document signings, including price-fixing agreements, boycotts or attempting to persuade other signing agents to agree to charge an established minimum fee. Are there any mentors out there? Yes, some signing agents do offer mentoring to new people starting out in the industry. You can contact other signing agents through social media to ask if there is an experienced professional in your area willing to mentor you. How do I get started? Where do I find work? To get started, you will first need to be commissioned as a Notary Public in your state and meet any other state requirements to perform loan document signing assignments. Because signing agents must also courier loan document packages, you may also wish to take a training course to familiarize yourself with the additional duties of a signing agent and the different documents included in a loan package. You will also need to obtain certification and background screening that meets the requirements of any companies you wish to work with. There are several online Notary signing agent directories where you can make your contact information available to lenders, financial institutions and signing services offering assignments. Some directories offer free listings while others offer more prominent listings for a fee — you should compare directory services and see which best suit your needs. What is a signing service? Signing services are private companies that act as middlemen, locating and contracting signing agents on behalf of lenders and title companies for assignments. Though assignments through signing services generally do not pay as well as working directly for lenders or title companies, signing services usually have more assignments available for newer, less experienced signing agents. Do I need any additional Notary insurance? Though not required by law, it's strongly recommended to purchase a Notary errors and omissions (E&O) insurance policy to cover you against damages resulting from unintentional mistakes. The Signing Professionals Workgroup (SPW), an industry standards organization, recommends signing agents carry a minimum Notary E&O policy of $25,000 following a study that found most claims against Notary signing agents average around $14,000. However, some individual companies may ask signing agents they work with to carry a larger policy. What kind of equipment will I need? In addition to your Notary seal and journal, signing agents will need reliable transportation to get to assignments, a mobile phone and email for communication with signers and companies that hire them, and a printer and fax machine to print loan documents and fax completed loan documents if required. How much legal risk might I face? Loan document signings are important transactions involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's essential that Notary signing agents not only follow their state's Notary laws, but federal mortgage regulations as well such as protecting the privacy of a signer's information. A Notary signing agent must diligently follow proper procedure. Aside from damaging the signing agent's chances of finding work in the future, carelessness, negligence or improper conduct can result in severe criminal penalties or financial liability for a signing agent. Where can I go if I have more questions? Most state Notary-regulating agencies cannot answer questions related to signing agent assignments, because many of a signing agent's duties aren't addressed by state Notary laws. Signing agents are not loan officers and should never try to explain loan documents or answer questions from a signer regarding the terms of a loan. Any questions regarding loan terms or the content of loan documents during a signing should be directed to a qualified loan officer. If you have other questions about working as a signing agent or industry issues, professional Notary associations and other private organizations that offer signing agent training and certification can often answer your questions. There are also dedicated social media groups for Notary signing agents on LinkedIn, Twitter and private websites where signing agents can go to ask questions and discuss issues affecting their work.

Brad Tavares (7-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) hasn't fought in half a year, but he still received just a month's notice that he'd be fighting Aaron Simpson (8-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) at Saturday's UFC 132 event.
Despite a shortened fight camp ahead of arguably his toughest opponent yet, Tavares sees plenty of perks in taking the fight – such as gaining bonus points with his bosses.
"You scratch their back, and they'll scratch yours," he today told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "Besides, at the same time, I'm helping my career. Me and my coaches think this is a good fight for me."
Tavares, who meets Simpson in a Facebook-streamed preliminary-card bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, is a late replacement for Jason "Mayhem" Miller, who was pulled from the bout to coach opposite Michael Bisping on "The Ultimate Fighter 14." But Tavares, a "TUF 11" semifinalist, initially was pitched different opponents.
UFC officials offered two names: Kyle Noke and Tom Lawlor. Noke, though, is a friend, so Tavares told UFC matchmaker Joe Silva he preferred to fight Lawlor. Instead, when Miller was a surprise coaching selection, Tavares was offered and accepted the fight with Simpson. (Noke and Lawlor, incidentally, are now scheduled to fight at UFC on Versus 5.)
While Simpson, a wrestling standout whose only career losses have come to notables to Mark Munoz and Chris Leben, is a step up in competition, Tavares thinks it's just what he needs.
"I talked it over with my coaches, friends and management," he said. "Simpson is a very good opponent but someone I think I can beat. A win over him would boost me up to like the middle of the division."
A native Hawaiian, Tavares now lives in Las Vegas. He spent a bulk of his past training time with Shawn Tompkins, whom he still admires. But with a lack of bigger fighters at Team Tompkins, the 23-year-old middleweight eventually decided to concentrate his time at Xtreme Couture, where he's prepared for this camp.
Tavares hasn't fought since a rousing UFC 125 TKO of Phil Baroni in January, but he doesn't really consider it a layoff.
"I have time on my side, and lots of guys are fighting against time," he said. "As long as I'm working on my game and getting better between my fights, I don't see it as a layoff. Yeah, I'm not fighting, but I'm improving and getting better."
And that's the key for him. While Tavares is young and just seven pro bouts into his career, he doesn't want to leave the organization. He doesn't want to gain experience in smaller organizations. But he also knows it's hard to stay stagnant in the world's top MMA promotion; if you're not moving up, you're very likely on your way out.
"I want to grow while in the UFC," he said. "I don't want to be out of the UFC. I want to leapfrog a few guys with a win over Simpson. I want to show some guys in the middleweight division that I'm here and I can hang with them."
And while he thinks his exciting style would give him a longer leash that some recent one-and-done fighters in the UFC, it's a risk he doesn't want to take.
"At no point is your UFC career safe if you're losing," he said. "It could happen. But with me, I believe in myself. I have no doubt in my mind I'll beat Aaron Simpson. If there's a reason to keep me around, it's because I put on exciting fights. That's enough motivation for me. … I'm never going to quit. If he's pounding me for two rounds, I'm going to come out in the third looking for the finish.
"I think that's what will keep me in the UFC. That, and winning fights because I don't plan on losing."

Manning's choice added pressure in Denver
Knowing as well as anyone that time is no longer his friend, Peyton Manning went looking for a team last summer.
He gambled on the Denver Broncos, and when he signed the contract, the players who were already in Denver got the message: Their new quarterback thought the pieces were in place to win the Super Bowl, and win one quickly.
''You had a guy like Peyton. He had the opportunity to go several places,'' cornerback Champ Bailey said. ''You know he wants to win and he goes to the place that can help him win. It raises your expectations.''
On a nine-game winning streak and positioned for a first-round bye in the playoffs, it's safe to say the Broncos (11-3) are living up to what Manning hoped they would be.
They are not a team headed for the playoffs based on smoke and mirrors, the way many critics felt last year's team was with Tim Tebow at the helm. That team finished the season ranked 23rd on offense and 20th on defense.
This year's team is dominating statistically.
-Manning's offense has scored 30 points in all but three games this season. It ranks fifth in the NFL with 387 yards a game, and the quarterback himself (4,016 yards, 31 touchdowns), is in reach of finishing with the second-most yards and passing touchdowns in his 15 seasons.
-The special teams picked up a special returner in Trindon Holliday, who has scored two touchdowns on returns.
-The defense, led by linebacker Von Miller and coached by coordinator Jack Del Rio, is ranked fourth in yards allowed, second in sacks and has allowed the fewest points in the AFC (274).
''They're very fundamental,'' Browns coach Pat Shurmur said of the Broncos defense his team will face Sunday. ''They do a good job against the run. They play well. And it kind of correlates on offense. They've scored 30 points in nine games this year, so you can be just a little bit more reckless when you know on the other side of the ball, you're going to score points.''
Manning, of course, was looking for a contender, not a project. His quote on the day he signed - ''This is a `now' situation. We're going to do whatever we can to win right now'' - said everything about both his mission and his time frame.
Much has been made of the instant bond he formed with John Elway, the former Broncos quarterback-turned-executive, and the working relationship he knew he'd be able to form with head coach John Fox and offensive coordinator Mike McCoy.
As meticulous as he is, though, Manning said he did not drill down deeply into the Broncos roster when he made his final decision.
''You can't know everything about a team when you're making a decision like that. I'd be lying if I said that I went through every single player on the roster,'' Manning said. ''I had some questions. I met with John (Fox) and met with Mike (McCoy) and met with Del Rio, met with all of them during my visit here and had some questions for them and got those answers and felt comfortable about those types of things.''
If Manning was concerned with any single position, it would have been receiver. He essentially brought his old buddy and teammate, Brandon Stokley, along with him. Meanwhile, the top two wideouts already on the roster heard Manning was coming and knew they'd have to up their game.
''We had a lot of good talent last year,'' Eric Decker said. ''The defense was playing well. Offensively, we were doing what we could to move the ball and score points. And to have him add a big piece to our offense has really helped the team in general. And just who he is as a person, who he is as a professional, the guy demands the best out of himself and that carries over to his teammates.''
Decker needs 77 more yards to reach 1,000 in receiving for the season, which would make him and Demaryius Thomas the first Broncos duo to reach 1,000 yards each since 2004.
''I never took it as pressure,'' Thomas said of Manning's arrival. ''At least not too much pressure. But he did choose to come here so you know you've got to mind your `P's and `Q's. If he comes here and you're a bust, he's saying, `Man, I could've gone somewhere else.' You don't want him saying that.''
NOTES: Broncos OL Zane Beadles was named the team's Walter Payton Man of the Year nomination for his community service work. ''I definitely didn't expect it,'' the third-year player out of Utah said. ... With the field cleared of snow, Denver practiced outside Thursday. OL Chris Kuper (ankle) didn't participate, while FB Chris Gronkowski (hamstring) and DT Kevin Vickerson (groin) were limited. ... The Broncos will be facing their first rookie QB of the season in Brandon Weeden. ''He looks like he has the talent to get it done,'' perennial Pro Bowler Champ Bailey said. ''He can make you look back if you let him.'' ... LB Von Miller said he never sacked Weeden when Miller suited up for Texas A&M and Weeden at Oklahoma State. ''I got a roughing-the-passer call,'' Miller said. ''Hopefully, things can be different this season.''

Customer Testimonials
This place is awesome. I have bought two guns hereand had the best experience. I will say that this shop is extremely busy, but if you want the best selection, staff that will talk to you about pro's and con's (when its your turn) then this is the place for you. You don't expect to walk into the busiest restaurant in town, and expect to be seated right away, so don't expect that from the busiest gun shop in Portland. I am a very satisfied customer and will come back again and again. I saved $200 on my new Bushmaster from the next best price I found of ANY shop in Portland.
This is the most outstanding store I've been in across the country, "all in all", hands down! The service and prices cannot be beat, even online! Some stores have more inventory because their building is much larger, but I will give Keith's Sporting Goods all my firearm and tactical business! I walked in after a 5 hour drive, during a gun show, and purchased everything I needed and more! Very impresses!
Keith's is an awesome place. Only place in oregon and washington with the gun i wanted in stock. For those who complain about the service, your in a gun store. Your not going into Safeway where they greet you at the door and hold your hand. Little kids are not supposed to purchase firearms. So sack up and ask for some help instead of waiting for them to come and say, " excuse me sir/ma'am, can I make a suggestion for you?".
I just drove 200 miles to pick up a gun that only Keith had in the entire country. This was NOT an inexpensive gun, and I had researched for a long time prior to my purchase. His price was below retail and not jacked up given the demand for this firearm. When I got there, I worked with Keith himself and could not be happier with the transaction. They were insanely busy (4 four lines ringing, 3 people deep at the counter, and cell phones ringing). He was patient and took the time to walk me through the firearm. I see bad reviews here, and for the life of me, cannot understand why. Keith's entire family works in the store, they were attentive to all the customers the entire time. There were a lot of tire kickers, as well as serious buyers, and they all got the same amount of attention. Keith helped me with finding an FFL for my home state and went up and above on making it a FANTASTIC transaction. I could not praise them any higher. DO NOT fault them because they are busy. That is only a… Read more

BART releases platform video from July 3 officer involved shooting
BART releases platform video from July 3 officer involved shooting
The public will be able to see BART's platform video that provides a partial view of the July 3, 2011 officer involved shooting on the platform of the Civic Center/UN Plaza BART Station. Today BART released the platform video, which contains what happened moments before the shooting, which killed 45-year-old Charles Hill.
BART officials decided to release the platform video earlier than planned
The San Francisco Police Department gave BART the green light to release the video after stating that sharing the video with the public will no longer interfere with its investigation. SFPD is the lead agency investigating the shooting. Both SFPD and BART continue with their investigations into the shooting.
"I feel it's important to make this video public in a timely manner," BART Interim General Manager Sherwood Wakeman said. "In earlier statements, we said we'd release the video as soon as SFPD's investigation was complete and turned over to the San Francisco District Attorney's Office. However, since SFPD said releasing it before then would not compromise its investigation I saw no reason to hold onto it, even though the case has yet to be turned over to the District Attorney."
At a news conference Thursday, Wakeman, BART Police Chief Kenton W. Rainey and BART Independent Police Auditor Mark P. Smith met with news media. The police chief showed the platform video and explained what investigators focused on when they first viewed it.
Viewer Advisory:
While the platform video does not show Charles Hill, please be advised that due to the nature of the incident, viewers should use discretion in choosing whether to view it.

PG's Joe Coffey is On Location at the 2010 LA Amp Show where he visits the Lapdancer Guitars room. In this segment, we get to hear from Loni Spector, creator and the main-man behind the Amp Shows, talk about his line of custom, one-off solidbody electric guitars made under the Lapdancer brand name that started out over 10 years ago as a lap steel guitar company.
Lapdancers electrics are unique takes and spins on classics like T- and S-style guitars, including the Holecaster that is a T-style guitar with dozens of holes in it to reduce the guitar's original hefty body weight, two T-style guitars loaded with TV Jones Filter'Tron pickups, and a S-style guitar that commemorates the Amp Shows that Spector has been running for years.

My Day of Archaeology is a bit different to previous years. Back in 2012 and 2013 I was doing lab work (for Feeding Stonehenge and Paisley Caves respectively) and in 2014 I was doing teaching preparation and looking at microscope slides. This year I am technically not doing archaeology at all, though I have been using archaeology. Let me explain – I am a geoarchaeologist, which means I use methods and approaches from geoscience to address questions about the human past. In my current job, which I just started this month, a large part of my role is trying to increase the numbers of students (and women in particular) studying Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Newcastle University. Like archaeology with the popular image of adventure and Indiana Jones, civil engineering has it's own public image (bridges, buildings! machinery!) and if you say geoscience, the first thing most people think of is rocks. Compared to the image of archaeology which has a broad appeal, it can be much harder to convince people that civil engineering is something they would enjoy. Likewise, there is much more to geoscience than rocks (though personally I am quite a fan of rocks…). This is where the archaeology comes in.
For my Day of Archaeology, I have been putting together outreach events for schools and families, to try and broaden the appeal of geosciences, and to convey the diversity and breadth of the subject. One of the talks I am doing is on Geoscience and Archaeology, using case studies from archaeology to show how we can apply geoscience methods in ways people might not have thought about. I am also working with the Great North Museum: Hancock, to develop geoscience inspired activities for Earth Science Week in October. In a similar vein, I have been writing a blog post (not yet published), on the links between civil engineering and heritage. Back to the bridges stereotype, many famous bridges (or civil engineering structures in general), have become part of the cultural heritage of a place, and it could be argued that their symbolic function is equally as important as their practical one. The Golden Gate, Millau Viaduct, London's Tower Bridge – all have become iconic symbols of a region or city. In Scotland, the Forth Bridge was recently awarded UNESCO World Heritage status. And of course anyone with an interest in Roman archaeology knows the importance of bridges as material culture. Newcastle itself was known as Pons Aelius (Hadrian's Bridge) to the Romans! Archaeology is everywhere, even where you may least expect it.

ABC's Diane Sawyer Repeats Concern of Wishing Muslim Shooter's 'Name was Smith'; All Three Networks ID Hasan's Faith
All three morning shows on Friday identified the man who killed 12 at an Army
base in Texas as a Muslim. However, Good Morning America's Diane Sawyer repeated
a concern from Thursday's World News: "...We heard Martha Raddatz say
last night that the wife of a soldier said 'I wish his name had been Smith,' so
no one would have a reflexive question about [a religious motive]."
In comparison, on Thursday's CBS Evening News and NBC's Nightly News both programs failed to reveal the religious faith of Hasan. GMA, as well as CBS's Early Show and NBC's Today, did not shy away from politically incorrect details, such as the surveillance footage of Major Nidal Malik Hasan in full Muslim garb in the hours before the shooting. Correspondent Brian Ross dug up information and informed, "In this internet posting earlier this year, Nadal Hasan compared suicide bombers to G.I.'s who saved their colleagues by throwing themselves on a grenade."
The Early Show's David Martin explained, "He is an American citizen said to be of Jordanian decent and a life-long Muslim." He then added, "However, there's a retired colonel who served with Hasan, has been quoted as saying that he heard Hasan react with glee to a news report that several American soldiers had been killed by a suicide bomber."
All three morning shows highlighted reports that the killer allegedly yelled "Allahu Akbar" ("God is great" in Arabic") prior to the shooting. Ross noted that a neighbor claimed Hasan had previously given away copies of the Koran and attempted to get rid of his property. News anchor Chris Cuomo reported live from Killeen, Texas and added that Hasan had been "disciplined for preaching to patients and colleagues about [Islam]."
On NBC's Today, co-host Meredith Vieira talked to General Barry McCaffrey and worried about possible harassment:
MEREDITH VIEIRA: There were also reports, General, that Hasan had told family members that he had been harassed by members of the military, because of his Muslim faith. Is that common?
GEN. BARRY MCCAFFREY: Well of course again, factually it's hard to know what's going on. But the quick answer is, of course not. You know the Army is one of the most diverse institutions in the country. When you look around you see men and women of all faiths and colors in command positions.
Both GMA and Early Show also discussed this possible angle, as well as
whether Hasan somehow had post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), despite having
never gone to Iraq. Co-host Robin Roberts asked Raddatz: "But we're hearing talk
that [PTSD] could be a factor with the suspected shooter, even though he has
never been deployed?" On the Early Show, Dr. Michael Welner talked to guest host
Debbye Turner-Bell and theorized about Hasan, who was an Army psychiatrist and
treating people:
DR. MICHAEL WELNER: A person who is treating people with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is in an environment where they verbalize, so he's dealing with victims who may have verbalized a tremendous amount of resentment and anger for people he identified with. And we know about mass shooters, that they are alienated and it is their alienation that enables mass shooting. You have to hate everyone to feel comfortable killing anyone. And a random mass shooting, you embrace the possibility, and as an educated professional, that anyone may die.
A transcript of the Brian Ross report on the shooter, which aired at 7:11am
EST, follows:
DIANE SAWYER: And as we search for more clues about this man, who he might be, why he might have done this, we turn to ABC News chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross. Brian?
BRIAN ROSS: Good morning, Diane. Well, as we learn more about Major Hasan, it's clear that he was about to be deployed to Iraq. He was suffering from some of the same stress that he was trained as an army psychiatrist to treat. His family says he complained about being called a camel jockey by others in the military. And was reportedly being treated himself for problems with alcohol. Although Hasan had just been promoted to major in May, his family and a congressman briefed on the case, say he had hired a lawyer, to help him get out of the Army.
REP. MICHAEL MCCAUL (R-TX): Apparently he became very disgruntled in the mission in Afghanistan, voiced that to a lot of his colleagues.
ROSS: In this internet posting earlier this year, Nadal Hasan compared suicide bombers to G.I.'s who saved their colleagues by throwing themselves on a grenade.
BRAD GARRETT (Fmr. Special agent, FBI): Just keep in mind, mass killers, pretty much know they're going to die. And they tend to want to take as many people with them as they can at a shooting.
ROSS: Hasan, an American citizen of Palestinian descent, went to college at Virginia Tech. And studied medicine at the military's medical school.
FAIZUL KHAN (Islamic Society of Washington Area): I found him very quiet and have a nice, quiet disposition about him. Very all willing to talk. [sic] A humble guy. And I find him very interested in learning more about his religion.
ROSS: Hasan worked as a psychiatrist at the Walter Reed Military Hospital in Washington for six years until this July.
MCCAUL: Had a poor performance evaluation. Was transferred to Fort Hood Military Base. And while there, received a lot of advanced training in weapons, shooting classes.
ROSS: Overnight, federal agents carried out search warrants at Hasan's apartment outside Fort Hood. A neighbor told ABC News earlier this week that Hasan had been giving away his furniture, and copies of the Koran, as he apparently planned to dispose of all his belongings. In a statement, members of Hasan's family said, they sent their victims heartfelt sympathies. So far, there's been no indication that Hasan is connected to terror organizations. And Muslim groups around the nation are condemning the attack, Diane.
SAWYER: Yes, we heard Martha Raddatz say last night that the wife of a soldier said "I wish his name had been Smith," so no one would have a reflexive question about that. But they are sure that he never traveled overseas. They traced everything they can trace to see if there were any connection.
ROSS: He had a brother that lived in the occupied territories outside of Israel, in Palestine and Ramallah. He had never been deployed overseas. There's no known connection to any al Qaeda group at all.

Dad would love a tie or any other gift you get him, no doubt, but our friends at Books & Books in Westhampton Beach think Carl Hiassen, Phil Jackson, James Bond and company will make for a much better Father's Day in the Hamptons.
Bad Monkey by Carl Hiassen
Andrew Yancy—late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff's office—has a human arm in his freezer. There's a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig. But first, this being Hiaasen country, Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of unpredictable events with a crew of even more unpredictable characters. Here is Hiaasen doing what he does better than anyone else: spinning a tale at once fiercely pointed and wickedly funny in which the greedy, the corrupt, and the degraders of what's left of pristine Florida get their comeuppance in diabolically entertaining fashion.
All That Is by James Salter
The anticipated novel from PEN/Faulkner winner and acclaimed master James Salter has arrived, and it is a sweeping, deeply moving story set in the years after World War II. From his experiences as a young naval officer in battles off Okinawa, Philip Bowman returns to America and finds a position as a book editor. It is a time when publishing is still largely a private affair – a time of gatherings in fabled apartments and conversations that continue long into the night. Bowman finds that he fits perfectly in this world of dinners, deals, and literary careers. But despite his success, love eludes him. Romantic and haunting, All That Is explores a life unfolding in a world on the brink of change. It is a dazzling, sometimes devastating labyrinth of love and ambition, a fiercely intimate account of the great shocks and pleasures of being alive.
Truth In Advertising by John Kenney
Finbar Dolan is lost and lonely. Despite escaping his blue-collar Boston upbringing to carve out a mildly successful career at a Madison Avenue ad agency, he's a bit of a mess and closing in on 40. He's called off a wedding. Now, a few days before Christmas, he's forced to cancel a long-postponed vacation to write, produce, and edit a Super Bowl commercial for his diaper account in record time. Unfortunately, it gets worse. Fin learns that his long-estranged, once-abusive father has fallen ill, and neither of his brothers or sister intends to visit. It's a wake-up call for Fin to reevaluate his life choices and finally tell the truth about his past. Truth in Advertising is debut novelist John Kenney's wickedly funny, honest, at times sardonic, and ultimately moving story about the absurdity of corporate life, the complications of love, and the meaning of family.
Son by Philip Meyer
Philip Meyer, the acclaimed author of American Rust, returns with The Son: an epic of the American West and a multigenerational saga of power, blood, land, and oil that follows the rise of one unforgettable Texas family, from the Comanche raids of the 1800s to the to the oil booms of the 20th century. Harrowing, panoramic, and deeply evocative, The Son is a fully realized masterwork in the greatest tradition of the American canon—an unforgettable novel that combines the narrative prowess of Larry McMurtry with the knife-edge sharpness of Cormac McCarthy.
The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown
Daniel James Brown's robust book tells the story of the University of Washington's 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal, a team that transformed the sport and grabbed the attention of millions of Americans. The emotional heart of the story lies with one rower, Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not for glory, but to regain his shattered self-regard and to find a place he can call home. The crew is assembled by an enigmatic coach and mentored by a visionary, eccentric British boat builder, but it is their trust in each other that makes them a victorious team. They remind the country of what can be done when everyone quite literally pulls together – a perfect melding of commitment, determination, and optimism. The Boys in the Boat is an irresistible story perfect for fans of Erik Larson, Timothy Egan, and Laura Hillenbrand.
The Guns at Last Light by Rick Atkinson
Here is the magnificent conclusion to Rick Atkinson's acclaimed Liberation Trilogy about the Allied triumph in Europe during World War II. It is the 20th century's unrivaled epic: at a staggering price, the United States and its allies liberated Europe and vanquished Hitler. In the first two volumes of his bestselling Liberation Trilogy, Rick Atkinson recounted how the American-led coalition fought through North Africa and Italy to the threshold of victory. Now he tells the most dramatic story of all – the titanic battle for Western Europe. Atkinson's riveting account of D-Day sets the pace for the masterly narrative that follows. With the stirring final volume of this monumental trilogy, Atkinson's accomplishment is manifest. He has produced the definitive chronicle of the war that unshackled a continent and preserved freedom in the West.
Embers of War by Fredrik Logevall
The struggle for Vietnam occupies a central place in the history of the twentieth century, and the latest account of the Vietnam War is deserving of its recent Pulitzer Prize. The conflict drew in all the world's powers and saw two of them attempt to subdue the revolutionary Vietnamese forces. For France, the defeat marked the effective end of her colonial empire, while for America the war left a gaping wound in the body politic that remains open to this day. Tapping into newly accessible diplomatic archives in several nations and making full use of the published literature, distinguished scholar Fredrik Logevall traces the path that led two Western nations to lose their way in Vietnam. An epic story of wasted opportunities and tragic miscalculations, Embers of War delves deep into the historical record to provide hard answers to the unanswered questions of Vietnam.
Eleven Rings by Phil Jackson
During his storied career as head coach of the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson won more championships than any coach in the history of professional sports. Jackson was tagged as the "Zen master" half in jest by sportswriters, but the nickname speaks to an important truth: this is a coach who inspired, not goaded; who led by awakening and challenging the better angels of his players' nature, not their egos, fear, or greed. In his quest to reinvent himself, Jackson explored everything from humanistic psychology and Native American philosophy to Zen meditation. In the process, he developed a new approach to leadership based on freedom, authenticity, and selfless teamwork that turned the hypercompetitive world of professional sports on its head. This book is full of revelations about what it takes to bring out the best in ourselves and others.
The James Bond Archives by Paul Duncan Page
Fifty years of "Bond, James Bond." Since Sean Connery uttered those immortal words in 1962, the most dashing secret agent in the history of cinema has been charming and thrilling audiences worldwide. To celebrate 50 years of this innovative franchise, EON Productions opened their archives of photos, designs, storyboards, and production materials to editor Paul Duncan, who spent two years researching over one million images and 100 filing cabinets of documentation. The result is the most complete account of the making of the series, covering every James Bond film ever made. The stunning imagery is accompanied by an oral history recounted by over 150 cast and crew members, relating the true inside story of how the Bond films were made. Containing previously unpublished photography and artwork, as well as production memos from filming, this book is a comprehensive tribute to the legend of James Bond.

DETROIT – Decades after sending shockwaves through metro Detroit, the Oakland County Child Killer case is still open and making headlines again.
The family of one of the victims has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the Oakland County prosecutor, sheriff and several investigators.
Children kidnapped, killed
At least four children from Oakland County were kidnapped and found dead between 1976 and 1977.
Mark Stebbins, 12, Jill Robinson, 12, Kristine Mihelich, 10, and Timothy King, 11, all are called victims of the killer.
Watch: Oakland County Child Killer victim's family files lawsuit
Watch: Legal experts call lawsuit flawed
Mihelich family says investigators withheld information
The family of Kristine Mihelich says the case was mishandled so badly that they feel any hope of learning their daughter's killer is lost.
"The system has not only failed Kris but has failed all the victims of the monster that took our kids," said Mihelich's mother, Deborah Jarvis. "It's time for Jessica Cooper to step aside and let the Department of Justice investigate these cases."
Cooper is Oakland County's prosecutor.
Family attorney Paul Hughes said he has a confidential informant who met with police but was not taken seriously.
"We're also asking that the case be taken away from Oakland County, be taken away from Michigan State Police because of what we feel is either gross mismanagement or a cover-up," Hughes said.
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said he would do everything he can to help the family solve the murder.
"I feel nothing but huge sympathy for the family," Bouchard said. "I would anything I possibly could do to help solve this crime."
Dr. Isaih McKinnon is mentioned in the lawsuit. Two years ago, McKinnon put authorities in touch with a mystery man who knew a lot about the Oakland County Child Killer case.
"After this meeting he stopped calling," McKinnon said. "Maybe we lost a person who had a great deal of information."

I just came back from a really enlightening conversation about life and relationships in general to a dark house and picked up two pieces of mail – one was for my car insurance premium for RM 1,704.60 (=_=!!!) which I have to pay before next month and the other was a padded largish envelope.
The writing at the back says "Sorry it took so long, but here you are". It's the autographed copy of The Star from two months back with a feature of me by Nicole on sixthseal.com.
I have read the article in the online version of The Star and was surprised at the more positive key in the actual paper.
The front page Saturday Metro text has "Drug blogger turns over a new leaf" which is a much better angle than the "Former drug blogger comes clean about his past" headline that the online version features.
I asked Nicole for an autographed copy of the paper and she finally got around to sending it to me. 😉 The article is an interview about sixthseal.com and my experience as a drug blogger in the past and how I've turned my life around.
Nicole wrote "To Huai Bin, Hope you continue to thrive in life, be happy in whatever you do" on the top of the article…
…and autographed the bottom with "You've been Nicolekiss-ed!!" 🙂
Thanks for sending me the papers Nicole, much appreciated! I like the article in the off-line version, it's much more positive.
Well, at least it can't get any worse than this. 😉

New Guitar Hero Gives Sweet Emotion to Aerosmith FansBy Reuters - Print
Activision unveiled a new "Guitar Hero" video game focusing on
the American rock band Aerosmith, taking the billion-dollar
franchise in a new direction.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Activision Inc on Friday unveiled a new "Guitar Hero" video game focusing on the American rock band Aerosmith, taking the billion-dollar franchise in a new direction.
Called "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith," the new game will arrive in stores this summer, a surprise to many analysts and fans who had expected the next title to come out closer to the year-end holiday shopping season.
Aerosmith, known for hits such as "Dream On" and "Sweet Emotion," is the top-selling American rock band of all time, with sales of 66.5 million albums in the United States alone.
The game will feature about 30 Aerosmith songs as well as others from various acts that have opened for the band. The price has not yet been set.
"The premise is that it's going to cover the 30-plus years of the band, from high school all the way through the rock superstardom of today," Kai Huang, head of Activision's RedOctane unit, which guides development of the franchise, told Reuters in an interview.
In the "Guitar Hero" games, players try to press colored buttons on a guitar-shaped controller in time with notes cascading down the screen. If the notes are hit, the song plays properly, and the player earns points.
Since the original "Guitar Hero" was released in late 2005, the series has gone on to sell more than $1 billion. Depending on the version, a bundle including the game and a controller costs from $80-$100, while the stand-alone game costs $40-$60.
When Activision reported quarterly earnings last week, analysts grilled the company on its plans for the franchise, expressing concern that sales would slow this year because many players who bought earlier versions with guitars would opt to buy the lower-price stand-alone game disks.
Huang said Activision had not yet decided whether it would offer a special controller with the Aerosmith game.
The focus on a single band marks a new twist for the franchise, whose three main titles featured dozens of artists spanning classic rock, grunge, metal, punk and other rock subgenres. Last year, Activision also released "Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s" with songs from that decade.
"It's just a completely new way to interact with this music and with Aerosmith, and we think there's more opportunity to do that in the future," Huang said.
By spotlighting a single band, the company has also come up with a way to counter rival music game "Rock Band" from Viacom Inc unit MTV and Electronic Arts Inc, Activision's top competitor.
"Rock Band", which includes drums and a microphone as well as a guitar, each week has offered new songs that can be downloaded to consoles like Microsoft Corp's Xbox 360 and Sony Corp's PlayStation 3.
The music industry is eyeing "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band" as a way to revive flagging sales. "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero 3," both launched last fall, have together sold millions of songs at about $2 each via download.
Speaking of Aerosmith's willingness to work on the project, Huang said: "They recognize that it can deliver their music in an innovative and new way. It's a new distribution platform for them."
To recreate the sense of attending an Aerosmith concert, developers held motion-capture sessions with band members, including energetic frontman Steven Tyler and lead guitarist Joe Perry.
"As you play," Huang said, "you're going to be seeing Joe and Steven doing their moves onstage."

Nerlens Noel done for season with torn ACL
- Kentucky freshman star suffered knee injury in Tuesday%27s loss at Florida
- Noel had X-rays taken in Florida%2C and the school said they were negative
- Center leads Division I in blocked shots and leads Wildcats in steals
It's fitting that Nerlens Noel's probable final play as a Wildcat was a blocked shot, but the aftermath brought bad news for the University of Kentucky basketball team and its star freshman.
Official word came Wednesday afternoon: a torn ACL in Noel's left knee. Surgery required. Season over.
"I've been coaching for 22 years and this is the first injury we've had of this kind during the season, which makes it even more devastating," coach John Calipari said in a news release. "I met with Nerlens earlier today. The meeting was really positive, and I loved his attitude. The way he's already dealing with this injury lets me know that he is going to come back stronger than ever."
After he soared for his 106th swat of the season with 8:03 left in the 24th game of his college career Tuesday night at Florida — that final spike every bit as poster-worthy as any before it — Noel landed awkwardly. His knee buckled. He screamed. And screamed. And screamed. Teammates carried him out of the arena, then returned to finish the game without him. That's an unsettling sensation to which the Cats must get accustomed.
Noel will have surgery in 2-3 weeks and faces 6-8 months of rehabilitation, the school announced. What that means for his NBA draft status and UK's NCAA Tournament prospects remains to be seen.
Calipari said immediately after the game that he was "physically sick" for Noel. At the time neither the coach nor Noel's teammates, who suffered insult along with injury in a 69-52 loss that deflated all recent progress, were willing to entertain the possibility of losing him for the rest of the season.
Everyone was still praying — the players bowed together before leaving the O'Connell Center — and hoping for the best. But now UK (17-7, 8-3 Southeastern Conference) must face the worst: seven more regular-season games and whatever the postseason holds without their best player and arguably college basketball's top defender.
Noel, who'd won four straight SEC Freshman of the Week awards, finished with averages of 10.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 4.4 blocks and 2.1 steals. In roughly three-quarters of a season he smashed the pre-Anthony Davis single-season school record by 23 blocks. But there will be no more.
"It's really unfortunate for him and for Kentucky," ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas said. "It's certainly not a happy day, but his attention needs to be rehab, keeping a positive outlook on things. And that's also true of the team. Someone has to step in there and take that spot, and everybody is going to have to do more to try to compensate for his loss."
Fellow freshman Willie Cauley-Stein, a 7-footer who has started five games, must now transition from Noel's sometimes-twin tower to the Cats' only true post presence. He has played well off the bench since his return from a knee issue of his own that cost him four games. He's the team's second-leading shot blocker with 33 and has produced 35 points and 16 rebounds in 61 minutes over the past three games.
Make no mistake, though, the Wildcats will miss Noel. He gave constant effort for a young team that often otherwise lacked it. He'd become UK's leader.
"It hurts us," guard Julius Mays said, "because he's a big energy guy and he makes the game different for us."
What's the postseason prognosis for the Cats, who were No. 3 in the preseason polls but have spent most of the season on the NCAA Tournament bubble? They're currently in solid position to make the field, but a fourth straight run to the Elite Eight seems less unlikely, a third straight Final Four almost impossible now.
"We're going to have to see," Bilas said. "There are plenty of games to show who they are without him there. I don't think they are going to be as good, but you don't know. Sometimes an opportunity is provided to a player and they step forward. … But you're losing a high-energy, high-activity player that blocks shots and gets steals at a level that no other big man in the country gets. That's a lot to lose."
Noel seems to be taking the injury in stride. He
to fans for their support and declared this a "minor setback for a MAJOR comeback!"
Jay Demings, director of operations for Noel's former AAU team, said he exchanged text messages with him on Tuesday night and Noel seemed to be in good spirits.
ESPN draft analyst Chad Ford said that unlike the old days, when an ACL injury was often devastating, technology has improved to the point that Noel could reasonably expect to be running and jumping the way he always did in a matter of months. That, Ford said, is why most NBA general managers still expect Noel will be a top-five pick in the next draft.
Citing Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who tore an ACL in the last regular-season game of 2011 and rushed for 2,000 yards in 2012, Bilas has some advice for Noel.
"Keep your head up and work," he said. "And what I would say is: You're still a valuable member of your team, so don't retreat from your teammates. They need to support him, and he needs to feel that he's a part of that team, even if he can't suit up."

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The U.S. government's budget gap is expected to shrink once again in the current fiscal year, the Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday, in the latest sign of improvement for the nation's finances.
The deficit for fiscal 2014 will total $514 billion, or 3% of gross domestic product, the CBO estimated. That is a decrease of $46 billion from the agency's prior projection.
In its new budget and economic outlook, CBO said the deficit would be smaller than previously estimated as the improving economy and the expiration of various tax breaks lead to a 9% increase in revenues. Federal spending, meanwhile, is expected to rise by just 2.6% this year — its average percentage over the past 40 years. Read the CBO report.
The deficit follows a shortfall of $680 billion for fiscal 2013, which was the smallest since 2008.
While the short-term deficit picture is improving, the nonpartisan agency said the deficit will start to rise again after 2015. Deficits are projected to grow as revenues stay roughly the same, but federal spending begins to rise on health-care costs for the Baby Boom generation and mounting interest costs on the federal debt.
CBO's newest forecast sees U.S. GDP growing by 3.1% this year, measured from the fourth quarter of 2013 to the fourth quarter of 2014. That is down slightly from the agency's prior estimate of 3.4%.
Over the next decade, CBO is forecasting slower growth, of 2.1% a year on average. That reflects slower growth of the labor force as Baby Boomers grow older, among other things. That slower growth will contribute to larger deficits.
The agency also increased its estimate of job losses related to President Barack Obama's health-care law. The Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, is now projected to cut the number of full-time workers by about 2.3 million through 2021. The CBO had previously estimated that number would be around 800,000.
If Congress doesn't change current law, accumulating deficits would boost debt held by the public to 79% of GDP by 2024, CBO said.
"Such large and growing federal debt could have serious negative consequences, including restraining economic growth in the long term, giving policymakers less flexibility to respond to unexpected challenges, and eventually increase the risk of a fiscal crisis," CBO's new report said.
Washington's budget wars have cooled as deficits have fallen steadily and the economy continues to improves.
However, the CBO's report arrives as the Obama administration is pressing Congress to raise the country's debt limit, which is suspended through Friday. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew says so-called extraordinary measures can be used to keep borrowing through the end of February. "Time is short" for resolving the issue, he said Monday.
Republicans, meanwhile, say they want concessions for raising the debt ceiling. House Speaker John Boehner has also said default would be "the wrong thing."
The GOP pounced on the news that Obama's health law would contribute to unemployment.
"Obamacare is only making things worse. This costly law is not only pushing government spending to new heights; it is disrupting coverage and leaving millions of Americans worse off. CBO says the law will push 2.3 million people out of the workforce and will insure far fewer people than previously expected," House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, said in a statement.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the top Democrat on the budget panel, said the U.S. needs to invest in education, infrastructure and research and development to kick-start job growth.
"Putting Americans back to work will help millions of families and help our economy overall — it's also the fastest and most effective way to reduce our deficit, which this report confirms we must still address over the long term," he said.
The U.S. jobless rate, now at 6.7%, will remain at that level this year, the CBO estimated.
Deutsche Bank's senior U.S. economist Carl Riccadonna said the 2014 deficit forecast could change based on revenues, not federal spending, since Congress has set spending levels for the current and next fiscal years. "If economic growth is stronger than the CBO anticipates, this should result in larger-than-expected revenues and a smaller deficit – or vice versa," he said in a note on Monday.

This year in my role in The World Community for Christian Meditation I have been meeting with our national coordinators in six regions of the globe. We began with South East Asia and the Pacific in January followed by meetings in three European regions. We have just finished the regional meeting with N. America, Mexico, Haiti and the Caribbean countries and I move on now to the last of this series in S. America.
There are meetings. And there are meetings.
Despite the discomfort and degradation of air travel today these encounters with our national coordinators have for me been worth the wear and tear. These teachers of meditation and community leaders are volunteers with families and careers. They pour talent, time and their selves into this contemplative renewal of Christianity and into sharing the fruits of meditation with the secular world – with children, students, in the fields of mental health, addiction, business, interfaith dialogue and peace and justice. Naturally, we have talked about, programs, events, and organizational and structural matters in our 'monastery without walls'. But the really transformative and inspirational part of these meetings has been the experience of seeing the marriage of the mystical and apostolic dimensions of the gospel-centred life.
Dr Pierre, for example, is our national coordinator in Haiti which I last visited just before the earthquake which laid low a country you would have thought could not have sunk any lower. He is a centred and modest personality with a clear, quick open mind who graduated top of his class and is now medical director of a hospital. The hospital survived the earthquake and has played a major part in the aftermath. As survivors were rescued the relief teams brought those with spinal cord injuries for care in Pierre's hospital. He was not technically equipped to handle them but he couldn't refuse and has since acquired the staff and equipment needed to care for them. He has also started a Christian meditation group with these patients. We could see what a grace it has been to them, to him and to the whole hospital. He has taught them a way of inner healing helping them to accept the new realities of their lives and to live with the hope and peace that no drug or medical technology by itself can give.
Of course Haiti has long learned how to live with tragedy, endemic corruption, exploitation and poverty and yet to remain – one wants to say shamelessly - joyful. Suicide in this most ravaged of countries is virtually unknown. Life is felt to be worth living for its own sake so should never be thrown away. No doubt close family and social networks also help people to endure and increase their resilience. But there is an irrepressible, instinctual love of life that defies analysis. In my room in London I have a painting I was given in Haiti – a tightly disciplined composition of a market scene packed with vitality and bright primary colours that exudes the life and joy you meet on the streets everywhere. It reminds me daily of the real source of hope and of the perspective needed for all right judgment.
Dr Pierre spoke at our meeting about poverty in Haiti, with quiet passion and very reasonably. I remembered the twelve year old boy in a group I spoke with during my visit who told me that before he went to sleep at night he tried to recite his favourite psalm to himself to cope with his hunger pains but how frequently the pangs of hunger interrupted his prayer. Dr Pierre accepts that the poor will be always with us and that all social economies institutionalize some level of injustice. His motivation is not utopian but spiritual. How can those who have neither the self-esteem nor the bare physical necessities of life be expected to see life as a spiritual journey? If you are endlessly worried about where your next meal is coming from religion will be more magical than mystical. But when the poor especially discover meditation as the prayer of the heart, the white magic of religion yields to the faith-energy of the gospel.
His plans for teaching meditation to the poor in Haiti were presented clearly and convincingly, based on an understanding of prayer as more than consolation or an escape for misery. Teaching meditation to the poor is a political act. It leads to new personal dignity, clears the mind, purifies the heart and releases wisdom and compassion. One day, perhaps, when this alchemy of contemplative prayer occurs in an individual with the right intellectual gifts and leadership skills, it will empower revolution, first in the heart and then in the body politic.
This meeting of the richest and poorest countries in the western hemisphere gave us a contemplative perspective on our contrasts but also what we share in common. Such a meeting is worth a bit of wear and tear.
