Nobel Committee Asks Obama Nicely To Return Peace Prize

Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, said today that President Obama really ought to consider returning his Nobel Peace Prize Medal immediately, including the really nice case it came in. Jagland, flanked by the other four members of the Committee, said theyd never before asked for the return of a Peace Prize, even from a damnable war-criminal like Kissinger, but that the 10% drawdown in US troops in Afghanistan the President announced last week capped a period of non-Peace-Prize-winner-type behavior in 2011. Guantanamos still open. There's bombing Libya. There's blowing bin Laden away rather than putting him on trial. Now a few US troops go home, but the US will be occupying Afghanistan until 2014 and beyond. Dont even get me started on Yemen! The Committee awarded Obama the coveted prize in 2009 after he made a series of speeches in the first months of his presidency, which convinced the Peace Prize Committee that he was: creating a new climate of...multilateral diplomacy...an emphasis on the role of the United Nations...of dialogue and negotiations as instruments for resolving international conflicts...and a vision of world free of nuclear arms. Boy oh boy! added Jagland. Did we regret that press release! http://www.thefinaledition.com/artic...ace-prize.html Well... I'll be (*)(*)(*)(*)ed. I'm taking bets if Obama will do the right thing, and return the prize he never earned. And t ...

BLOG: “Peace is possible” writes Nobel Laureate Mairead Maguire

Mairead Maguire won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1976 for her efforts in bringing an end to violence in Northern Ireland. Soon after, she founded the organization Peace People and continues to work in nonviolent peace movements. Mairead is hosting the Nobel Women’s Initiative’s fourth biennial conference, Moving Beyond Militarism & War: Women-driven solutions for a nonviolent world . I passionately believe peace is possible, and that it is possible for the human family to move beyond militarism and war. Indeed, it is already happening because millions of us have already rejected the ‘bomb and the bullet’ and all the techniques of violence and are working to build a world based on the values of love, equality and dignity for all. People of the world do not want war. We have had enough of this wastage of human resources and intelligence in feeding the death machinery of militarism while children die of starvation and poverty. These are not the ‘values’ we want to live by, and the human family, particularly women, are uniting our voices as a powerful force to say ‘no’ no more of these destructive policies of bad governance and governments not acting in good faith. Ten years ago, in February 2003, millions of people around the world said ‘no’ to the Iraqi war and occupation, and since then millions around the world have protested against unjust government regimes, demanding dignity, demilitarization, development, and democracy. These mas ...

Nobel economics laureate Edmund Phelps and Iceland say no to the European Union

Congratulations to Prime Minister-elect Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson of Iceland for the wise decision not to join the European Union ! Perhaps the Icelanders were influenced by Nobel Economics Laureate Edmund Phelps's sound views on the future of the EU: Nobel Laureate Edmund Phelps warned yesterday against the dangers of European Union membership as Iceland became the latest nation to question the sense of affiliation with a bloc mired in economic crisis. Iceland's new government said on Wednesday it will halt its EU bid and drop the previous coalition's goal of euro adoption. Prime Minister-elect Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson, whose Progressives won last month's vote together with the Independence Party, said he doesn't want to join a bloc in crisis as his own economy recovers. According to Mr Phelps, the decision is likely to spare Iceland many of the risks plaguing the EU . "We're still learning about the European experiment and to what extent it's going to succeed," Phelps (79) said in a telephone interview. " The possibility is not foreclosed that the experiment is going to prove unworkable, unsuccessful. " The appeal the EU once held to nations seeking economic stability and access to free trade is crumbling as the region fails to emerge from its crisis. The UK is now openly questioning its allegiance with the EU while other members like Denmark have distanced themselves from the goal of euro adoption to protect their economie ...

Nobel dedicates an entire month to the filipino community

Hamilton, Bermuda, May 23rd, 2013 – It's nice to see companies join their customers in celebrating important traditional holidays; and when a large international company like NobelCom sets out to dedicate an entire month to a highly valued part of their community, the initiative is one to be applauded. As an expression of gratitude towards all Filipinos who have chosen NobelCom as their international calling provider, the company has decided to declare 24th May to 24th June as the Filipino Month. Without doubt, it's no coincidence that this celebration takes place just before Manila Day (on June 24th), an important Filipino holiday. Having both its existing and new customers in mind, NobelCom announces that anyone who wants to call the Philippines using any of the company's phone cards will get a special 12% discount on all orders placed within this timeframe (May 24th and June 24th 2013). “The Filipinos have always been a significant part of our customer community. It’s only natural that we would want to join them in celebrating such an important event from their cultural patrimony. Furthermore, we plan to continue delivering our best services to the Filipino community - as well as to all our other worldwide clients - in terms of reliability, customer service and value,” says Daniel Ungureanu, Business Development Manager at Nobel.

How a Boy on a Bike Won the Nobel Prize

The weather is warming up, and so are tempers in the city. Over last weekend in Chicago alone, eighteen people were shot. It is remarkable that could happen in a single weekend, and far more remarkable that it didn't even make the national news. Every time I open up the news, I cringe. Violence,shootings and bombings are no longer something rare, but where today . I am weary and distressed about the daily violence, the taking of human life. Even Jesus said, that is enough. When one of His disciples struck off the ear of the high priest, Jesus said, "No more of this!" And He touched his ear and healed him. If we want things to change, we need to do something different. It doesn't have to be that way. There are better responses to resolving conflict than shooting people. We just need to teach it, engrave it on our hearts, and do it. I was overjoyed this week to read Desmond and the Very Mean Word , a children's story based on a childhood incident from the author, Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The short tale introduces children to a different language in the face of confrontation, not that of violence but of forgiveness. The story increases a child's moral imagination -- how different things can be. In the story, Desmond is stirred to revenge in the midst of an on-going confrontation with a gang of boys. The priest in the book advises young Desmond, "When you forgive someone, you free yourself from what they have said or done. ...

Scammer Nominated Himself for Nobel Peace Prize

Damien Glez A Kansas City, MO, preacher and four co-conspirators were convicted last week for running a large-scale investment scam that exploited black churchgoers. Owen Isreal Hawkins, 57, masterminded a fraudulent stock offering that would swindle around 9,000 unqualified investors out of $10.2 million, causing $7.2 million in losses. After being indicted in 2010, he has been found guilty in US District Court on multiple counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, wire fraud, currency structuring and money laundering. From 2007 to 2010 Hawkins collaborated with a number of fellow ministers to found and promote Petro America Corporation, supposedly a company with massive holdings in oilfields and gold mines. Hawkins called his henchmen the “ White Hat Guys ,” as they all sported white fedoras while serving as his personal bodyguard. With the assistance of several sales agents, he pitched Petro America’s unregistered securities as a sure way to score untold riches. Hawkins said Petro America stocks would skyrocket to $24 a share once it went public, as the company was worth $284 billion – second in the US only to Exxon-Mobil. To the consternation of many, Petro America didn’t actually have $284 billion in assets and its stocks turned out to be worthless . Although Hawkins was the subject of cease-and-desist orders from Kansas and Missouri state authorities, he went on his merry way and told investors that he would soon receive a Nob ...

Nobel laureate discusses history of cloning

Cells can be stubborn things. A skin cell resists changing into a liver cell, and a heart cell wants to remain a heart cell. But with the right kind of manipulation, they can be changed — a skin cell can turn into a liver cell or even a pulsing heart cell, Nobel laureate Sir John Gurdon told a crowd of students, faculty and staff at a talk on May 16 in Aresty Auditorium. “The process of cell differentiation is remarkably stable,” Gurdon said. “Very rarely do cells of one kind switch into another kind. We don’t have skin in our brain or liver in our muscles. Nevertheless, it can happen.” Making it happen is what earned Gurdon the 2012 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. In the early 1960s, he was able to replace the immature nucleus in a frog egg cell with the nucleus from a mature intestinal cell. The modified egg developed into a normal frog with the DNA of the mature cells. In his talk, “Nuclear Transplantation to Prospects of Cell Replacement,” Gurdon talked about advances made in the areas of cloning and nuclear transplantation since his discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to develop into different kinds of tissue. His pioneering work continues to reverberate in the world of science. Though he didn’t mention it, Gurdon’s talk came the day after scientists announced that for the first time they were able to transform human skin cells into embryonic stem cells — a breakthrough that links directly back to Gurdon’ ...
