Open thread, and a micro news brief

Briefly: David Lynch teleconference with University of Montana Media Arts students is blogged by the campus newspaper; the paper characterized the event as a "lesson" in Transcendental Meditation... More news on David Sieveking’s film “David Wants to Fly” that's slowly making its way across the U.S. The film may have been the subject of an on-campus Q&A at MUM with Bobby Roth earlier this week... Onetime MIU student Jeff Peckman is running for mayor of Denver... TM promoters are again attempting to propagandize for the use of TM to treat PTSD among soldiers, this time in the Sri Lanka Guardian. They must be out of media outlets that will cover what they say, because this Guardian freely admits that it's a website that will run almost anything - see their disclaimer... Ramani Ayer, retired insurance executive and board member of both the David Lynch Foundation and MUM, joins the board of directors of XL Group, a global insurance firm... How many racehorses are named Maharishi?
