So Hawaii is going to get hit with a Tsunami, because an 8.(Something) Earthquake just hit Chile, and in a like six or seven hours the waves are going to hit the islands.

that sucks. hope the damage is not too bad

Hawaii dodged the bullet, the waves lost momentum through the ocean, going against tides and such, lucky for the islands.

Chopra Blames Own Meditation for Baja Quake

The U.S. Geological Survey is blaming day-to-day seismological changes for Sunday's 7.2 earthquake along the U.S.-Mexico border. But Deepak Chopra, the famed alternative-medicine practitioner and transcendental meditation guru, is pretty sure he knows what really happened.

"Had a powerful meditation just now -- caused an earthquake in Southern California," Chopra wrote to his nearly 179,000 Twitter followers shortly after the quake.

And then, to clarify: "Was meditating on Shiva mantra & earth began to shake," he tweeted. "Sorry about that."
Chopra might want to apologize directly to those in California, who haven't suffered significant infrastructure damage but are still bracing for more temblors, and to those in Mexico, where two are dead, hundreds are injured and thousands are still without power.

Transcendental meditation (TM) was largely popularized by Chopra, who's been dubbed "McMeditation" for the multimillion-dollar profits he's earned off books, DVDs and his Chopra Center for Wellbeing in Carlsbad, Calif. -- where a six-day mind-body wellness program runs around $2,500.

According to Chopra, at the crux of the meditation practice is "the field of possibilities, creativity, correlation ... where intention actualizes its own fulfillment."

Let's hope he's wrong about that, or the guru might have some explaining to do about what exactly his meditation session Sunday was hoping to actualize.

An hour after Chopra's Twitter confession, he vowed to one Twitter user, @WhiteMoon7, "Won't do it again -- promise."

But even the guru himself must not know his own strength. Since the promise, dozens of aftershocks have rattled the U.S.-Mexico border.

All the while, Chopra's staying safely above the reach of the ongoing quakes. According to his Twitter feed, the guru boarded a plane from California to Denver earlier this morning.

Sleeping Beauty

True words. If she is awake enough to hear and comprehend, I hope her family reads her some of the books she enjoyed.

As for the vegetal state, isn't that what Terri Schiavo was in? What troubles me most about her, though, is that it was triggered by bulemia.

^^There is a pair of siblings in Boston who have a similar contition called Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS). Basically they sleep for days, weeks or even months on end. I don't know if the Russian girl from the article has KLS, but I don't think "vegetal state" is the right name for whatever she has.

More on KLS here:

^^ Whoa! OK, I wont!

Gotta love the Latin name, though. It had to have been chosen in the spirit of humor.
