Pa. man accused of killing 3 pleads not guiltyDecember 16, 2013 @ 10:10 am
STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) - A northeastern Pennsylvania man accused of killing three people at a municipal meeting in August pleaded not guilty to homicide charges on Monday in a case in which prosecutors have vowed to seek the death penalty.
Rockne Newell, 59, sprayed dozens of rifle rounds as he targeted officials in Ross Township, a Pocono Mountains community about 85 miles north of Philadelphia, officials said.
Monroe County District Attorney David Christine intends to seek the death penalty for Newell, who pleaded not guilty at his arraignment.
Prosecutors have said the junk dealer was upset over the loss of his debris-strewn property after a lengthy court fight with the township. The township had acted on complaints that he lived in a storage shed, built an illegal culvert and used a bucket outside as a toilet.
The township supervisors were about 15 minutes into their public meeting on the first Monday in August when "things went terribly awry," township solicitor John Dunn, who was one of Newell's alleged targets but escaped injury, testified at the suspect's preliminary hearing last month.
Newell began shooting through a front window _ with bullets piercing the wall inside the supervisors' meeting room _ and began cutting down victims as they fled the building, according to state police.
Killed were Ross Township zoning officer David Fleetwood, 62; Gerard Kozic, 53; and James V. LaGuardia, 64.

New York City is almost halfway there to becoming Nazi York City with the installation of 3,000 spy cameras to monitor "terrorism." One major "reason" that is given as to why we need these government spy cameras is:
"A major disruption caused by a terrorist attack inside this perimeter could have cascading economic consequences across the planet."
And here I thought that the Banksters' central banking system put in place in every civilized country of the world over the past two centuries has had cascading economic consequences across the planet.
But look on the bright side of this totalitarian spy network: At least we don't need a hidden camera to locate the hangout of the biggest terrorist in New York City:

Your View: Guest Column - The Resurrection: Significant or not?
As I began this column, I was torn by the need to present the evidences for the resurrection of Jesus and the necessity of discussing its significance. That is when I decided to compromise and deal with both, as space allowed.
First, and perhaps most significantly, is the fact that the resurrection is foundational to the Christian faith. If true, then Christianity is, well, true. But if not true, according to Paul, it stands as a horrible and well-played hoax. Hence, the significance of the 12 historical facts presented by evangelical Christian apologist, historian, and philosopher of religion Gary Habermas that individually and collectively confirm the historicity of Jesus' resurrection. He tells us that:
(1) Jesus died due to the rigors of crucifixion;
(2) Jesus was buried;
(3) His disciples doubted and despaired because His death challenged their hopes;
(4) The tomb in which Jesus was buried was discovered to be empty just a few days later;
(5) The disciples had real experiences that they believed were actual appearances of the risen Jesus;
(6) The disciples were transformed and were even willing to die for the truth of these events;
(7) This gospel message, including the resurrection, was the very center of preaching in the early church;
(8) The gospel was even proclaimed in Jerusalem, the city where Jesus died;
(9) The Christian Church was firmly established by these disciples;
(10) The primary day of worship was Sunday — the day Jesus was reported to have risen;
(11) James, Jesus' previously skeptical brother, was converted when he believed he saw the resurrected Jesus; and finally,
(12) Paul, a leader in the persecution of the Church, was also converted by a real experience he believed to be the risen Jesus.
The Resurrection, then, verifies the Christian faith and sets it apart from all other belief systems. It alone is true, and that is significant.
Second, not only is the Resurrection foundational to the Christian faith and its truth claims, but it convincingly argues against the godless naturalism that now permeates our academic landscape. It handily militates against the notion that we are the products of mere matter plus time plus chance, and declares human beings infinitely more than the sum of our total parts.
The Resurrection, then, substantiates the very opposite. It verifies our creation in the image of God and reveals the intrinsic value of every human being, be they newly conceived or very old, and as controversial as it may be, it also confirms the creation of male and female as complimentary partners and marriage between them as the only divinely intended and valid marital paradigm.
It confirms the biblical account of the fall, the sinfulness of the human heart, and the human tendency, since that historic rebellion, to suppress and pervert God's loving self-revelation (Romans 1:18ff). The Resurrection verifies the actual intervention of God throughout human history and that he ultimately spoke to us through his Son (Hebrews 1:1-3).
Finally, it confirms the fact that upon the cross and on the day traditionally known as "Good Friday," this same Jesus absorbed the wrath of God for sinners, marking, in fact, the Father's full acceptance of His sin offering. Hence, all who come to God by him will be eternally saved.
He lives!
Now, that is significant.

Hi, I have recently moved into an area of London with no fibre optic cables, just copper wires. Internet speed test gives me upto (rarely) 10mbs/s d/l speed.
Now I see can get unlimited calls and 4G internet through the phone and am wondering if this is a credible alternative to wired internet? My current phone has an app / feature whereby it shares its 3G with my laptop and my laptop's wifi receiver picks my phone up as if it were a modem?
Sound like a good plan?

I have the EE 4g on 12 month contract and a Galaxy S3, it is an expensive contract, but suits my needs, and works well in Cardiff. You can certainly tether this one, I use it to download the weekly free movie onto my Tablet.
When I was shopping around 3 told me that if I took a 4g phone on their one plan then I would be automatically upgraded when they got 4g in a couple of months (thought march was the earliest).
It is far better than my miserable 3 mb/s land line. I use a mix and match. If I have the time I use my unlimited sky broadband, if I am away on my travels then I use a t-mobile 3g Dongle with my 4g package as well. It's great for sky go.
One note of caution, some of these packages say unlimited data on your phone. This is exactly what it means, it will not tether as you require. Make sure you can tether.

Diabetes Mentoring Program Proposed
Tara Dairman
July 13, 2007
Have you ever wished you had a "diabetes mentor"—someone who had experience living with diabetes and could help guide you through the learning process? Or perhaps you wish that you could put your accumulated expertise with diabetes to work helping someone who is recently diagnosed or has questions. If so, you may be interested in a soon-to-be-launched diabetes mentoring program called "Peers for Progress."
The program is being created by the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation with a $15-million, 5-year grant from the Eli Lilly and Company Foundation. It will identify and train volunteers who have diabetes—laypersons, not health-care professionals—to be certified "Diabetes Mentors," who will then help other people with diabetes manage their daily self-care tasks as well as deal with the emotional and social demands of living with diabetes.
The program's goal is to train 200,000 people, or 1% of Americans living with diabetes, to become Diabetes Mentors, and eventually to expand globally and train 2 million mentors worldwide by 2020. In addition to bridging the gap between the health-care system and people with diabetes, Diabetes Mentors will ultimately train some of their "mentees" to become mentors as well.
According to the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation, the Peers for Progress program will seek to employ a new, empowering, community-based approach to combating diabetes. Through role-modeling, mentoring, and peer-to-peer interactions, mentors will aim to bring about behavioral changes in people with diabetes that lead to better long-term health outcomes.
More information about how to get involved in the Peers for Progress program will be available later this year; the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation is planning to launch a Web site for the program by late fall, and a small pilot mentoring project will kick off in 2008. The foundation hopes to have the full project underway by late 2008 or early 2009. The Diabetes Self-Management Blog will feature more information about how you can get involved with the program when it becomes available.
In the meantime, you may want to check out diabetes blogger David Mendosa's blog entry "M is for Mentoring" which contains tips and advice about diabetes mentoring and explains how you can become a "virtual mentor" or "virtual mentee" on the Internet.
What a great idea!!

This is very needed.

I would be very interested in becoming a mentor! I hope to see more info soon
Posted by: Parmasan | Nov 25, 2007 06:04 PM
I was saddened to see that mentors must be diabetic themselves. After helping a family member for years and seeing many elderly being unable to figure out the prescribed regime, I think I could be helpful to others if I could find a proper outlet.
Posted by: PACO | Jan 13, 2008 12:47 PM
While this blog entry is a few years old, I'd like to update the information regarding Peers for Progress. The program is up and running, but the focus has slightly changed. We've identified many fully-developed peer support programs around the world who are already very active in training and developing peers mentors. The area of focus for Peers for Progress is on developing and enhancing the research which proves peer support works. Our mission is to accelerate best practices in peer support for health around the world. At this time, most of the resources on our web site are devoted to this purpose, but if you are interested in becoming a peer mentor, please send us an email and we'll be happy to connect you with one of our partners who train peer mentors. Best Regards, Kevin Helm Assistant Director, Peers for Progress www.peersforprogress.org

With no Marriott, Hilton or Holiday Inn hotels nearby, BP is housing hundreds of oil-spill clean-up workers on the Louisiana coast in "flotels" - 40-foot-long corrugated steel boxes that contain dormitory style beds, the Associated Press reports.
The white boxes that resemble giant shipping containers are stacked atop a barge at Port Fourchon, the story says. The 1,300-acre shipyard that serves as the oil industry's Gulf hub is surrounded by sensitive marshes, the story says.
"There are no permanent residents here on the port," Dennis Link, a BP refinery manager who's handling logistics told the AP. The site can be reached easily by ship, but reaching it by land requires driving on a state road that snakes through the bayous, the article says.
BP is installing flotels as it ramps up coastal clean-up efforts, since the latest "top kill" solution failed last weekend and relief is at least two months away, the AP reports. More than 125 miles of Louisiana's coastline has already been hit with oil, including the resort of Grand Isle near Port Fourchon, the story says.
According to USA TODAY's latest coverage of the Gulf oil spill, the focus is shifting to workers and volunteers who are cleaning up beaches since none of the high-tech solutions have worked.

Go karts have been round for years and have constantly been in demand with kids who enjoy flying round in their own baby racing machine.Go karts aren't just in vogue with the children, they are also favored with adults.Because go kart racing has become such an in demand leisure activity there are now plenty of karts at one's disposal that are designed expressly for racing. There are also karts manufactured simply for freedom and entertainment.The razor ground force drifter is manufactured with this criteria and is now highly in demand with kids It is an electric powered kart making it an environmentally friendly kart.
Electrically powered karts are a fantastic environmentally friendly option as they do not cause any pollution and they are now easily obtainable. Electric go karts are much quieter than those powered by gas making them far more acceptable in the neighborhood.There is no grounds for neighbors to grumble about too much noise with the low noise levels produced by electric karts.Most of these karts use two twelve volt rechargeable batteries which last for close to an hour before they need to be recharged taking from four to six hours.Once the batteries won't hold a charge they have to be renewed. They last quite a while but like all batteries they don't last indefinitely. When it is time to change them the old ones should be got rid of responsibly to minimize any effects on the environment.
On account of the low noise levels of these karts and the fact that they don't produce any exhaust gases makes them excellent for both indoors and outdoor use.It is astonishing how much power and acceleration they have. Because they are designed with a low profile they are to handle and very stable.They are not easily flipped over which is good for learner drivers acquiring courage.
The fact that electric go karts are much safer still doesn't mean that necessary safety instructions can be abandoned. It is still always necessary to have head protection and to use the safety strap.Bumpy terrain can be dangerous so should be avoided, especially with young drivers in the first learning stages. Young drivers also need to learn to become aware of their surroundings and any likely hazards existing and how to manage them.
Electric go karts have quite a few benefits over petrol powered karts being a great deal more economical to run and maintain. Considerable savings are had with not having to purchase fuel.Having containers of petrol stored round can be dirty as well as being a hazard. Refueling isn't a thing that a young child should be doing.The considerably reduced sound levels are also a big plus for the electric go karts making them a much preferred alternative as far as the environment is concerned.
Even though these power-driven go karts are considered to be quite safe there is always an element of risk with any activity where there is a bit of speed and momentum present and always the possibility of injuries occurring. In the situation of go karting most accidents occur when riders don't adhere to simple safety precautions. For this reason it is crucial to make sure young drivers are under constant supervision particularly when they are just beginning to drive and may forget to do something that could be important. .Using these karts on bumpy terrain amplifies the possibility of casualties.
Go karting is enjoyed by all ages and genders meaning it is a great family orientated activity.As well as being great fun for all taking part it is also a fun means of picking up many valuable life skills as well as elementary driving skills. Things like co-ordination, alertness, confidence, concentration can all be developed. The Razor Ground Force Drifter Kart is an excellent learning kart for children and has become a very in demand present because it is fantastic value for money. Children adore the drifting feature that lets them coast around corners (also educating them practically how to manage slides).

Women in Indian banks tip the scales towards success
Interesting bit of news. For me, it's about proper masculine-feminine balance.
What makes women successful in Indian banking industry?
Aman Dhall & Ravi Teja Sharma, ET Bureau, Sep 19, 2010, 12.14pm IST
Read more: What makes women successful in Indian banking industry? - The Times of India http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/What-makes-wo...
When the global recession brought banking behemoths and financial institutions down on their knees, commentators dubbed it as a man-made disaster, "a testosterone-fuelled meltdown caused by men with high-risk appetite".
Pray, then, would the world economy be on a sounder platform today if these treasure chests were guarded by women managers? Nick Wilson, professor of credit Management at Leeds University Business School ( LUBS) thinks so. "Where we find companies with diversity on their boards, productivity is better. Having more women on the boards of companies does help. Women would moderate risk and would be more balanced," he says.
Was this the reason, then, that Indian banks, with better gender equality on board than their we stern counterparts, scraped though the economic slowdown unscathed? Prof Wilson nods again. "If UK banks had more women on their boards, the scenario post-recession would have been a lot different."
Banking in the West has traditionally been a male bastion and continues to be so. "It is very difficult for women to break the glass ceiling here (West)," says Sheila Wellington, clinical professor of management at New York University's Stern School of Business. "Data shows that the glass ceiling is still intact. I wish it were not true."
India offers some respite for Wellington. The banking sector in the country did have its male domination till the 1980s, but in the last three decades the gender equilibrium became 'fairly' poised.
According to a study by Standard Chartered Bank about women on corporate boards in India, the financial sector performs best in terms of gender diversity, nine of the eleven banks listed on BSE-100 have a woman on their board and two of these banks have a female CEO. In fact, through the recent recession, Reserve Bank of India had two women deputy governors on board, Usha Thorat and Shyamala Gopinath.
ICICI Bank, India's second largest bank after State Bank of India, is headed by a woman, Chanda Kochhar. So is the third largest in the private sector, Axis Bank, with Shikha Sharma at its helm. HDFC Ltd, India's largest housing finance group has Renu Sud Karnad as its managing director; Kalpana Morparia heads the Indian arm of global financial leviathan JPMorgan Chase & Co; Meera Sanyal is the country executive for Royal Bank of Scotland and; Manisha Girotra is the managing director of Union Bank of Switzerland's India operations.
"Women are not driven by wanting to just show numbers," says Karnad, who feels the recession was a result of excesses, of wanting to achieve goals at whatever cost. "Women are more practical and moderate in risk taking."
In this sense, the banking and financial services sector has been particularly lucky. For, while only 11% of the companies across sectors in India had women CEOs, 54% of these CEOs come from the financial services sector, says a recent EMA Partners International study. In the Fortune 500 list though, financial services just accounted for 7% of the women CEOs.
So what is it that makes women so successful in the Indian banking and financial services industry? "Retail banking is more of a relationship thing and women excel at that," says Karnad. In the Indian context, while women have started venturing out to work in the corporate world, they have been handling relationships at home too, as a wife or a mother. "This nurturing and adjusting attitude flows into the workplace as well."
For the current pack of women leaders in banking, the journey started in late 1970s and 80s. "There were hardly any women who went to engineering colleges those days. Banking and services was a natural move," says K Sudarshan, managing partner–India, EMA Partners.
Professor K Ramachandran, Thomas Schmidheiny Chair Professor of Family Business and Wealth Management, at Indian School of Business, adds: "In the 80s, leaders in banking realised that women could be great assets and their businesses need to be gender neutral. It is more about breaking the mental barrier."
The mid-80s saw a number of smart women graduating from the B-schools just when the Indian banking sector was starting to grow. ICICI, HDFC, HSBC, Citibank, were all expanding and were hiring during the mid-80s and the early 90s.
"We were fortunate to have senior role models like Tarjani Vakil, chairperson of Exim Bank who pierced the glass ceiling in the 1970s and '80s," says Meera Sanyal, who started her career in the mid-'80s with ANZ Grindlays Bank and is now Royal Bank of Scotland's country executive for India.
ICICI particularly nurtured a number of women—Chanda Kochhar, Shikha Sharma, Renuka Ramnath—who have today reached the top. One of most prominent among them is Kochhar, who joined the bank as a management trainee in 1984 and rose through the ranks to become the managing director and chief executive officer.
Today, of the eleven top executives working directly under her, three are women. "I give a lot of credit to ICICI, which as an organisation has allowed women to grow, prosper, handle responsibilities and offered equal opportunities," says Kochhar. Of the overall 40,000 employees at ICICI, a quarter are women. "It has contributed a lot to the feminine quotient in the Indian banking sector."
The bottom line for Kochhar, though, is an individual's own capabilities. But she agrees that diversity in a company does help to bring in different perspectives. "Women have done well in banking because it is a business where you need to keep in mind what the customer wants. Women have some amount of empathy towards a customers needs," she says.
However, bankers don't agree that it's only affirmative action that has led to a virtuous cycle. Reason: bigger the firm, more focused it will be to encourage equality of opportunity. The HR policy is structured to benefit all employees, not just women.
"Diversity is vital, be it in the form of academic background or gender, it creates the right environment, culture that helps the organisation to leverage on workforce's strength and skills," says JPMorgan Chase and Co's India head Kalpana Morparia.
Most women bankers agree that one of main advantages they had was the support system from their family. There may be numerous cases to belie their observation but for the achievers, family support made all the difference. "There is family, in-laws, friends and domestic staff that offer support to the household, which makes it easier for the woman to focus on her career," Manisha Girotra, managing director, Union Bank of Switzerland in India.
Interestingly, today, these women are role models for a number of other women who have the ambition and confidence to make it big in the world of banking. When you see talented women who have become successful leaders, you do get inspired to follow in their footsteps.
"Once you have a successful role model in a business, you tend to go for it. These women in the world of banking and financial services have given confidence to women to try such corporate jobs," says Ramachandran.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jessica Alba, Doutzen Kroes, and other celebs tweet their hearts out.
… or should I say titelm
"If the shoe fits...." tweeted Eva Longoria, stepping into a humongous heel. Better keep looking, Eva.
Though the actress was recently cast on American Horror Story, this isn't some kind of gruesome procedure. "Getting fit for my wig," explained
Jessica Alba is getting ready for Halloween, but this costume isn't for her. "HONOR'S homemade BUBBA GUPPIES 'Molly'" tweeted the supermom, who's craftier than we thought.
Congratulations to Myleene Klass, who wed former rugby player Graham Quinn. "I didn't dream it! My husband and I. Xx," she tweeted with a pic of her gorgeous gown with a cascading veil and fishtail hem.
"Miu miu love <3," tweeted Fearne Cotton, showing off an enviable pair of sparkly white pumps. Is somebody being Cinderella for Halloween?
Doutzen Kroes knows how to pose, even when it's just for a cameraphone shot. "I took a picture of myself with my hair in rollers;) almost ready hahaha...." she tweeted at work.

The main deities worshiped on this day are Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, and their sons, Lord Kartikeya & Ganesha.

Patton Oswalt, his 4-year-old daughter, and naked hippies at Bumbershooton September 10, 2013 @ 12:07 pm (Updated: 12:47 pm - 9/11/13 )
When Patton Oswalt performed on the comedy stage of this year's Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival at the Seattle Center, it wasn't his first time.
He fondly remembers the days when he would visit Seattle, particularly for the annual Labor Day festival - and not necessarily for the most PG reasons.
"You can do drugs and be safe there," Oswalt said in an interview Monday night with Conan O'Brien. "You can be on drugs in the street in Seattle and nothing will hurt you because everything is made out of marshmallows and flannel."
Yes, he's exaggerating. But this year, things needed to be a little more family-friendly because he brought his 4-year-old daughter along to experience her first music festival.
As she played in the International Fountain at the Seattle Center, he realized a problem with Bumbershoot: his daughter was at just the wrong eye level with what Oswalt referred to as "naked hippies."
As someone who went to Bumbershoot this year, I can tell you, while I saw some scantily clad folks, I didn't see anyone naked.
All the same, sometimes you need to be prepared to see a little skin even when you're attending a family-friendly event. Crop tops are in season this year.

Under 19's Leisure Scheme
|Saffron Walden
Fairy Croft
Audley Road
|Great Dunmow
Youth Centre
North Street
|7pm to 9pm
|7pm to 9pm
This project provides the following services for children/young people with a disability in the Uttlesford area of Essex:
- two weekly social clubs (1 in Great Dunmow and 1 in Saffron Walden)
- occasional small group activities
- funding permitted, an annual holiday (in the past this has been to Center Parcs)
- members of the Under 19 Project take part in activity days provided by the Holiday Project in the school holidays during summer, Christmas and Easter. Some of these have included a 6 week drama project at Harlow's Playhouse, dance such as Bollywood, arts and craft, fashion, graffiti, circus skills and music sessions.
- in addition we are hoping to develop a 1:1 befriending service during the next year.
This project was developed in response to the identified needs of children/young people with a disability whose opportunities to participate in leisure/social activities outside school hours were very limited.
Currently over 40 children/young people (aged 11 - 19) from all over the Uttlesford district who regularly access our project and several more access it on an ad hoc basis. As well as seeking to increase their opportunities to participate in activities that would otherwise not be available our project is designed and delivered in ways which are geared towards achieving the following outcomes for participants:
1) reduced social isolation
2) increased self-confidence
3) improved life and social skills
4) the project also has the ancillary outcome of providing reliable, regular respite care for families
5) improved empowerment achieved, e.g. by enabling people to exercise choice and by playing a role in the management and development of the project.
We regularly monitor our project to check our progress in meeting these desired outcomes.
One of the strengths of our project is its staff and volunteers. Staffing on the project comprises of a co-ordinator, deputy co-ordinator and a support worker, all of whom are part-time. These staff are supplemented by in excess of 20 volunteers all of whom are themselves young people - the majority being recruited from local 6th forms. This itself has a number of advantages that include :
- increased interaction for young people with a disability with their non-disabled peers. Opportunities for such interaction are often limited because they tend to attend different schools etc.
- the provision of positive role models
- opportunities for young people to "put something back into their local communities" and to gain new skills and experiences.

The High Stakes of WTO Reform
Behind the Scenes at the WTO: The Real World of Trade Negotiations/The Lessons of Cancun. By Fatoumata Jawara and Aileen Kwa. London: Zed Books. Updated Edition, 2004. Pp. vi, 329. Cloth, $58.95; paper, $19.95.
Behind the Scenes at the WTO definitively exposes how the trade-negotiation process makes it possible for a few rich countries to dominate the trade agenda at the expense of all other countries. It is one of the first studies that authoritatively shows how trade negotiations have developed into "a game for high stakes, between unequally matched teams, where much of the game is played with few rules and no referee." The book attributes the deadlocked nature of the Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations and the recent disruptions of the World Trade Organization's ("WTO") ministerial meetings to the secretive and noninclusive nature of negotiations and decisionmaking at the WTO. Authors Jawara and Kwa base their conclusions on semistructured interviews with a broad cross-section of trade officials from all over the world who represent their governments in thirty-three missions at the WTO, on interviews with staffers of the WTO Secretariat, and on their own research.

Step 1
Dial the "+" symbol. Usually this will be accomplished by pressing and holding the "0" key.
Step 2
Dial the country code for the country the receiving cell phone has its service in. The country code for the U.S. is "1," which is why all long distance calls begin with "1." If you have a U.S.-based carrier and you are calling a cell phone that is attached to an Australian-based carrier, you would dial the country code "61."
Step 3
Dial the state code. For the U.S., this is called the "area code." State codes can be found on a variety of informational Web sites.
Step 4
Dial the local number and press send. Your international call should connect.
How to Make an International Call to a Cell Phone?
كيف أجري اتصال دولى مجاني عبر الإنترنت؟
More and more people are using their cell phones as their primary phone. Rather than staying near the phone to wait for a call, they simply carry their phone with them. This can create some interesting situations when working in a global environment. Two people from different countries could be literally down the street from one another but will be required to dial an international phone number to reach the other. More and more people are therefore learning how to make international calls on a cell phone.
How to Place An International Call
International phone calls can be confusing and expensive. This article will detail some simple and inexpensive ways to place an international phone call
Step 1
If you have an internet connection and a headset, use an online phone service such as Skype. It is the least expensive international calling option. Get more information by following the link at the end of this article. Skype can be used through a computer or some select cell phones.
Step 2
If you do not have an internet connection, the next best option is to use a prepaid international calling card. They are available in most convenience stores worldwide. The cost of the call will depend on the countries involved. For example, a call from the United States to Mexico will be less expensive than a call from the United States to Somalia.
Step 3
The last and typically most expensive option is to use a cell phone or land line. You will be billed by the phone company. Expect to pay up to ten times as much as you would with a calling card or online calling service such as

So this ogre rolls into the Palace ...
|'Shrek the Musical' takes over the Palace Theatre in Waterbury this weekend. Credit: Palace Theater
An ogre takes over the Palace Theater in Waterbury this weekend when "Shrek the Musical" rolls into town Friday and Saturday for three performances.
The show, which opened on Broadway in December 2009, is based on William Steig's book and the first chapter of the popular "Shrek" animated film series. The musical, set in a "faraway kingdom turned upside down," follows a swamp-dwelling ogre who goes on an adventure attempting to reclaim the deed to his land. His sidekick is a wisecracking donkey. Together their exploits include battling a dragon and rescuing a feisty princess while discovering along the way true friendship and love.
The musical offers an original score of 19 songs with lyrics by Pulitzer winner David Lindsay-Abaire, with sets and costumes based on original and some Tony Award-winning designs.
Said the production's director, Stephen Sposito: "Shrek on stage really feels like a spectacle. It's a show that's large in every way."
Tickets available by calling (203) 346-2000, at palacetheaterct.org or visiting the box office, 100 East Main St. The theater is offering a 50 percent discount on family four packs of tickets purchased for the Friday and Saturday evening shows.
The offer is valid on select mezzanine seating and only availably by phone at (203) 346-2000, or in person at the box office.
— Brynn Mandel
As folks are coming in to the theater for the Friday night performance of "Shrek," WATR's Tom Chute, assisted by some Palace Theater volunteers, will be asking patrons to participate in a "Sound of Music" sing-a-long. The performances will be recorded with cell phones. A compilation of the videos will then be put on YouTube.
The audience at the Friday show will be asked to assist the Greater Waterbury Campership Fund. For the third year, several "celebrity beggars," including Mayor Neil M. O'Leary and former Gov. John G. Rowland, will be seeking donations for the 2012 Campership season.

Lytle Tunnel rehab being planned
The Ohio Department of Transportation is planning a major renovation for the Lytle Tunnel. Some of the work will begin later this year.
The project includes sealing tunnel joints, replacing tiling, and upgrading obsolete lighting and electric systems.
A second phase of the project consists of replacing and expanding the tunnel's ventilation system. That will require modifications to Lytle Park above the tunnel.
City Transportation and Engineering Director Michael Moore updated Council's Budget and Finance Committee Monday about the project.
"Lytle Park in some places will require some substantial rebuilding in and of itself," Moore said. "And the Ohio Department of Transportation has agreed to help with that."
Large portions of the park will be peeled off and temporarily leave "big holes" in the park.
ODOT is working the city's Park Board on the plan.
The tunnel renovation will require lane closures when construction starts. The city says it will help provide adequate notice to drivers about the schedule.
The city is the owner of Lytle Tunnel, which supports portions of Fourth Street, Fifth Street, Lytle Street, Pike Street and Lytle Park. The state has an easement under and through it for highway purposes for I-71 and the Third Street ramp.

A high-tech ready-to-use lightweight filler suitable for a variety of tasks around the home and workplace.
"I've had (literally) hundreds of hairline cracks appear in re-plastered walls. I'd tried various fillers but they were all too course and, quite frankly, dried to a powdery finish. This is perfect. Fills the smallest of cracks, easily and quickly. And if (like me) you're not too good at achieving a perfect finish the first time around, it sands beautifully. My only criticism is that it would be better for me if it came in a different colour to white. Eg, goes on pink but dries white. Then I could more easily see the area that I'd done. Great product. Thanks, Wickes."
"I don't use any other kind of interior filler anymore, this is so good. Fills really deep holes without cracking as it dries & more or less no sanding down."

Ya know how certain guys like to stick together! Guys that have similar interests … maybe interests in hair care? Maybe, just maybe… JoeyMarco Gorga gave MissAndy some tips in getting his hair color just right! Or maybe, just maybe… MissAndy already knew about the popular "hair spray in a can" made famous by Ron Popeil…
…which might have been also used by JoeyMarco Gorga in the now infamous "grab

Chilean students have taken over schools and city streets in the largest protests the country has seen in decades.
The students are demanding free education, and an end to the privatisation of their schools and universities. The free-market based approach to education was implemented by the military dictator Augusto Pinochet in his last days in power.
The protests are causing a political crisis for Sebastian Pinera, the country's president. But what are the underlying issues driving the anger?
As the demonstrations in Chile coincide with protests erupting globally, Fault Lines follows the Chilean student movement during their fight in a country plagued by economic inequality.
Fault Lines can be seen each week at the following times GMT: Monday: 2230; Tuesday: 0930; Wednesday: 0330; Thursday: 1630.

With its super-energized mix of nuclear blasts, assassination attempts, and triple-digit body counts, 24 always manages to get the blood pumping. Especially that of its critics. Indeed, Fox's real-time action-adventure drama starring Kiefer Sutherland seems to generate controversies like, well, clockwork. Before season 1 even launched, a scene featuring a terrorist parachuting out of an exploding plane was called into question (and reedited) in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. During season 4, Muslim-Americans expressed concern over being portrayed as sleeper-cell terrorists. And this year, human rights advocacy groups and the military have criticized 24 for its frequent depictions of torture; some have even claimed those methods influence the way U.S. soldiers acquire intelligence in Iraq.
24 consistently offers plenty of onscreen food for thought, but what goes on behind the scenes of the provocative drama? Do the people who bring Jack Bauer to life also experience pulse-pounding action on a daily basis? To find out, we armed an elite team of reporters with all-access codes and a simple mission: Tail the writers, producers, actors, and stuntmen of TV's most adrenalized series for, yes, 24 hours. We staked out the 24 production-office HQ in Chatsworth, Calif., where top secret story lines were being crafted, and gathered intel from a set visit 35 miles away, where the cast and crew were filming a high-octane scene for episode 18. What we uncovered were highly skilled individuals who approach their jobs with tactical precision and troubleshoot their way through tight deadlines, hospital detours, and even writer's block. To experience a 24 day Feb. 7, to be exact in real time, read on. Time's a-tickin'...
06:15am Home of 24 executive producer Howard Gordon.
Gordon half-watches a DVD of the Wiggles titled Yummy Yummy with his 2-year-old son while taking notes on the script for episode 19. The day commences.
08:00am On location Vernon, Calif.
The special F/X crew pulls into an abandoned ammunition factory just outside of downtown L.A. The factory which the crew rigged over the past two days for $30,000 will double as one of 24's omnipresent ''warehouses'' where Bauer's many enemies always seem to set up shop. And it'll be the setting of a bruising battle between Jack (Sutherland) and his nuke-happy nemesis, Abu Fayed (Adoni Maropis), which the stunt team choreographed here yesterday. The F/X crew starts loading boxes and barrels with wires attached to ''squibs'' cork with explosive charges that simulate bullet hits. ''We have a walk-through and they figure out what they want so we can prep for it,'' special F/X coordinator Scott Blackwell explains. ''And then they change everything anyway.''
10:00am Freeway.
A hyped Maropis drives to the location in Vernon. As he cruises along the freeway, tears form in his eyes as he thinks about his alter ego's state of mind. ''I've gone to the depths of hell for this guy,'' he says. ''[Bauer] killed and tortured my brother.'' This torture, which was for once, perhaps not actually shown on screen, is part of Fayed's backstory. Maropis tries to pull back his emotions, thinking, Save it, save it. Plus, he notes, ''people drive by and see you crying, and you wonder what they're thinking, like, Poor guy.''

Board of Architect Examiners > Web site
Present Duties
The Oregon Board of Architect Examiners (OBAE) was established in 1919 and consists of seven members appointed by the governor. Five members are resident architects and two members represent the general public. The main objective of the board is to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of the public through licensing and registration and to ensure Oregon's citizens receive continued competent architectural services. The board ensures that only competent persons and firms are permitted to practice architecture in Oregon and that all practicing architects follow professional standards of conduct set by the board. The board establishes qualifications and examines architects who want to practice in Oregon, registers architectural firms, investigates complaints and alleged violations of the Architectural Practice Act, and is authorized to deny, suspend or revoke registrations and to assess civil penalties.
The OBAE is a semi-independent, self-supporting agency that receives the majority of its revenue from application, registration and renewal fees. The board currently has 2,901 individual architects and 661 architectural firms registered as active in Oregon.

Flash Wars: Adobe Fights for AIR with the Open Screen Project
May 7th, 2008
Flash has plenty of enemies and obstacles, but it also enjoys wide deployment and familiarity. Two areas where Flash can offer real value is in displaying and packaging video on the web, and in serving as a Java replacement for developing applets. Here's a look at how Adobe is working to defend its strengths in the face of competition, and how its efforts to open the Flash specification in the Open Screen Project play into these efforts.
