Other

• I signed on to the "Neo-Humanist Statement of Secular Principles and Values: Personal, Progressive, and Planetary" from the Institute for Science and Human Values, 2010. I can't say I self-identify as a "neo-humanist," but I endorse the statement, which is the sixth major "humanist manifesto." The prior five are the Humanist Manifesto (1933), Humanist Manifesto II (1973), Secular Humanist Declaration (1980), A Declaration of Interdependence (1988), and Humanist Manifesto 2000 (guess).
• Comment on "Trade Regulation Rule on Telemarketing Sales, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Request for Comment," Federal Trade Commission call for change to 16 CFR Part 310. The proposed modification to the Telemarketing Sales Rule is to allow prerecorded calls when the telemarketer has an existing business relationship (EBR). This modification is contrary to statute (47 USC 227(b)(1)(B) provides no authority for an EBR exemption) and subject to abuse (as is already seen with the FCC's EBR exemption, which also is contrary to statute). 2004

  IN MEMORIAM -- CHRIS HEWARD
  We are sad to report the death of our HSGP member, Chris Heward. Chris fought a brave battle against an aggressive esophageal cancer diagnosed late last year. Chris, who was president of the Kronos Science Laboratory, spoke to HSGP last April, on Anti-Aging Medicine. Our deepest sympathy to his son, Abe, and wife Pam -- both HSGP members. A memorial celebration of Chris' life was held in early January.

In an exemplary fashion Lippard concludes his analysis by simply and moderately saying 'the case for Ward's psychic abilities remains at best unproved, and certainly does not support his own claims of success and accuracy.' Lippard's essay strikes me as the main analysis in the book clearly out for truth rather than blood." There was another review by B. Davies in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research 60(8, 1995):282.
