Hi Spike ...

Hope you're all well and having fun! Barbara and I are chuntering along,
doing okay ...

Could you maybe pass this along to the extropes?  Damien



You might be interested, amused or dismayed to hear that I
(with co-editor Ben Goertzel) have just published a hefty scholarly
volume from McFarland, EVIDENCE FOR PSI:

http://www.amazon.com/Evidence-Psi-Thirteen-Empirical-Research/dp/0786478284

It also has a hefty price ($50 for a large trade paperback) but maybe
anyone interested might consider asking their nearest library to
purchase a copy.

Here's the Table of Contents:
