-- let me move on I would be part of that let you guys go I wanted to just Brit had talk a little bit of bad day a subject that caught our attention here some I.
-- getting fed degree of criticism for attending a religious event the group -- USA.
Over the weekend.
Congressman to you first that should should get -- I should anybody in public life a governor or senator -- congressman which is that they be able to do what ever they want in their private life or Doerr is their area.
Is does do you cross the line here when you attend something.
Now by going to church -- attended.
A a religious kind of an event now.
You don't cross the line -- -- fact American politicians have done that.
For all of our history.
I don't see any problem with that whatsoever that is a a public expression.
Of of faith.
Is a far cry from the government.
A government supported religion on a country that's where the line seems to should exist.
But does -- -- trying to -- in this country right -- -- -- does seem a little -- emphatic criticize.
Any public official for attending.
Our religious and -- showing it all of us should just relax a little bit and and let these things let all of -- public figures attend whatever event they want to provided it's not something that's promoting hate which clearly this wasn't.
-- one what's the problem here.
Right and you know what I Jonathan I'm I'm not sure I disagree with the congressman too much you're right as long -- it's not promoting hate as long as it's not putting public pressure on.
The citizens of Kansas to -- you know to strive to one religion over another.
To be excluded or to feel marginalized somehow I mean that's that's more of not sort of -- the letter of the law but the spirit of the -- that everybody should feel included no matter how sort of much of a minority of religious.
Affiliation you have I personally I mean I grew up in new England and a Roman Catholic we were a lot more sort of private with our expressions of faith and if it was more about the family and and more about you know smaller communities we weren't as public and and I don't think it's always been as public an expression of faith that.
Know our founding fathers also had very sort of private thoughts on.
On matters of faith but.
The fact of the matter is he should absolutely feel entitled to worship his god in any way he sees fit and if that's you know with a TV camera on in and of big sort of you know -- -- -- the arena then by all means Sam Brownback should feel absolutely well within his rights to do that.
All right OK -- thank you very much indeed we just lost our signal with the congressman so thank you do congressman rob although pre former Republican.
Congressman who is joining us from Denver and Montana forma stock over the Kerry presidential campaign thanks very much to you to --

LONDON — They're calling the Mondo track at Olympic Stadium a magic carpet, and it's possible the world's greatest male sprinters are going to scorch it with their spikes Sunday unlike anything we've ever seen.
We thought Jamaican Usain Bolt's race at Beijing in 2008 was epic — one for the ages, something that would never be duplicated. But the truth is, that might have been an after-dinner, ate-too-much stroll compared to what awaits Sunday.
If Saturday's first round of the men's 100 metres is a barometer, Sunday's semifinal and final could defy all belief and every explanation but those rooted in science.
Bolt is the defending Olympic champion and Olympic record-holder, with his Beijing race of 9.69, and the world-record holder with the 9.58 he ran one year to the day after his stunning performance in China.
But the lanky Jamaican was only a small part of the story on Saturday.
The silliness began with the first of seven heats, American Ryan Bailey tearing off a 9.88, an Olympic record for a first heat.
And it continued with a stable of thoroughbreds, each stud cockier than the one before him, strutting, even prancing, through the mixed zone as though headed to a barnful of receptive mares.
The next handful of qualifiers, among the 22 moving into Sunday's semifinals: Justin Gatlin, U.S., 9.97; Yohan Blake, the Jamaican who beat Bolt over 100 and 200 metres at the country's Olympic trials, 10:00; Dwain Chambers, Great Britain, 10:02; Asafa Powell, Jamaica, 10:04.
At 10:09, Bolt and Canada's Justyn Warner ran the same time.
The difference was, Warner shifted up through his gearbox and had the hammer down until he was past the finish line, thrilled with a lifetime best.
Bolt, meanwhile, deployed his parachute at about 60 metres, the silk billowing behind him not long after he was halfway down the track.
This, after he had a little trouble getting out of the blocks.
"I made a bad step. I stumbled a bit. I'm glad it happened now," said the world's fastest man.
"I expected [the good time]. I'm running well, I'm happy, training is great. I'm looking forward to the semifinals."
The sprint session was sick, in a good way. Beyond ridiculous. The wind that swirled a little in the stadium, creating havoc for the female pole vaulters, was neutralized by the sharp gasps of 80,000 spectators who were treated to the greatest show on a synthetic track.
Bailey's 9.88 equalled his personal best. No one was talking much about him coming to London, but they are now.
"I just wanted to get out and run my heat," he said. "I knew that if I stayed healthy I'd be okay. It was surprisingly easy."
Said Powell: "It was a good race. I just wanted to get the cobwebs out. I took it easy today."
There was no comment from Blake, who navigated out of the stadium as quickly as he ran within it.
But Canada's Warner was only too happy to offer an insider's view of his own excellent performance, the beaming smile never leaving his face.
He's been having the time of his life here, his Twitter account — @justynwarner — an enthusiastic view of his Olympic experience. Saturday's performance showcased an athlete who has trained hard, focused clearly and brought everything together when it mattered most.
"My whole goal this Olympic Games is to go out here and have fun," Warner said. "I'm not changing my routine or what I do. I'm just having fun. I've done the work. I've put in all the months and years of work and just go out there and run my race."
"The track is fast. It's blazing," he said of the rubber-compound runway laid by Mondo, the Italian company that's produced every Olympic stadium track since 1992. "If we have good weather (Sunday), the semis and final are going to be fast."
The 25-year-old native of Markham, Ont., had set a goal of breaking 10.10, his personal best 10.15 arriving here. So he's done that, and now knows he must run faster still to make Sunday's eight-man final.
"My next goal is to get under 10 seconds," Warner said, further suggesting it will require a sub-10 to make the final round. "One race at a time, but I'm happy with it. To see 10.09, I'm in the 'ohs.' I'm blessed. My coaches have put in a lot of work. Family, my parents, my fiancée, everyone's been so supportive. I can't thank everyone enough, so I've got one more to go. Hopefully [the semifinal] is the race of my life to get in the final."
The difference between where he is now and where he must be to advance one more round is "like a smidgen."
"The start, man, I've got to nail the start," Warner said. "I had a good start but my transition wasn't as great going into my next gear. I have to keep that in mind. I put a lot of work into it in Germany at training camp and I've done it. I just have to go out there and do it. It's time to do it."
Like everyone else in the stadium, including other athletes who suspended mixed-zone interviews to watch monitors, Warner viewed Bolt's race.
"He was jogging," he said, laughing. "He ran 10.09 and I ran 10.09 and I had to put in the work to do it. He's phenomenal."
Not that Warner was prepared to handicap the field or pick a favourite to keep — or wrest away — the title of world's fastest man.
"We'll see," he joked. "We'll leave it at that. But Bailey out there running 9.88? That's crazy. It's up for grabs. It's going to be an awesome final and I'd like to be part of it."
It will be a wonderful accomplishment if Warner lines up in one of those eight lanes. And it will matter not if, by a dozen or so strides down the track, he is watching the tail-lights in front disappear into the distance.

The Campbell women's golf team is off to the best start in coach John Crooks' 22-year tenure with the program.
The Camels won three of five tournaments in the fall season. They are ranked 26th in the nation out of 257 NCAA Division I programs.
Crooks moved into fourth place on the all-time coaching win list with 67.
"I am proud of our women's golf team and all of its accomplishments this season," Crooks said in a news release. "Being among the nation's best teams statistically is another example of just how good these women have become."
Campbell made 183 birdies in 15 rounds this fall, tops in the nation.
"Each day at practice they compete in various challenges with their teammates," Crooks said. "The level of competition is exceptional. The team is able to carry the competitive mindset into our competitions."
The Camels also lead the nation in putts on greens in regulation and tied for third place with six eagles.
The team is led by sophomore Brooke Bellomy with a 73.6 stroke average. The other team members and their stroke average include junior Kaylin Yost (73.7), junior Maria Jose Benavides (73.9), sophomore Lisbeth Brooks (74.5), senior Teresa Urquizu (74.6) and freshman Tahnia Ravnjak (76.9).
Bellomy, Yost and Benavides had individual wins this fall.
"Three different ladies won individual championships this fall," Crooks said. "Each one can certainly win again, and there are three other ladies on the team that could win this spring, as well."
The team also has an international feel. Benavides hails from Mexico, Urquizu is from Spain and Ravnjak is a native of Australia.
The Camels start the spring season Feb. 4-5 at the Miami Hurricane Invitational.
The Methodist women also enjoyed a good fall season, winning three tournaments, and they had a different low scorer in each match.
The Monarchs opened the season by winning their first two tournaments. Andie Savel was the low scorer in the first event and Jenny Sullivan led Methodist in the second tournament.
Loretta Giovannettone, a junior from New York, tied for medalist honors in the Golfweek Division III Fall Preview in Destin, Fla. She shot 8 over as the Monarchs rallied in the final round to win the tournament.
On the men's side, Methodist won one fall tournament - the O'Briant-Jensen Memorial in Greensboro. The Monarchs shot a tournament record 578, led by medalist Mike Wesko, who shot a 1-over 141.
Methodist finished runner-up in two other tournaments.
Robert Hoadley of Southern Pines played in all five fall tournaments for UNC-Greensboro. The senior had a stroke average of 76.5.
Sophomore William Herring of Lillington and senior Hunter Howell of Raeford both played in four tournaments this fall for N.C. State. Herring had a stroke average of 74.6 and Howell's was 75.3.

Detroit� The state-appointed emergency manager has prompted debate about how much his operation of the city is dulling voter interest in the City Council races as residents prepare to elect council members by district for the first time in nearly a century.
While a federal judge hears testimony on whether Detroit is eligible for bankruptcy protection, some political observers say this election cycle may be the last one that generates voter interest for years to come.
But others remain hopeful that voter participation in the city will rise, despite the crisis of erasing $18.5 billion in debt.
After Kevyn Orr became emergency manager in late March, Detroit experienced a sharp decline in candidate participation in the Aug. 6 primary, with a field of 54 candidates compared with 240 candidates for the 2009 council race.
Voter turnout in both primary elections stayed about the same at around 17 percent, according to Detroit election records.
On Nov. 5, city voters will choose from four candidates to fill two at-large seats and from 14 others to fill seven district spots.
�People are gaining more clarity and interest around the districts,� said Donna Murray-Brown, president and CEO of the Michigan Nonprofit Association. �At this point, I think we�ll find that the citizens are really engaged, have always been engaged and have always cared.�
�We�ve suffered a couple of blows; an emergency manager, bankruptcy and just trying to figure out �where do we go from here.� That�s what has been on people�s minds,� added Murray-Brown, a resident who also leads the Lansing-based group that provides resources to Detroit voters.
�They have collected themselves and are highly motivated to be a part of democracy. We�ll see that in November.�
But Greg Bowens, a spokesman for the city�s largest union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 25, is pessimistic.
�The negative effects of the emergency manager linger long after he or she leaves,� said Bowens, who claims emergency management has disenfranchised voters in cities and school districts under state control and could set a similar political tone in Detroit � as it has for its school board.
�There used to be a time when the president of the school board was a recognizable figure in the city of Detroit. Getting a seat on that board was an accomplishment,� Bowens said.
�Today, most people can�t name four members of the Detroit Public School board. That�s a direct result of being taken over by the state. That�s the same thing that�s happening to City Council.�
'Hard road' for officials
Detroit Public Schools has been under an emergency manager for nearly five years. Gov. Rick Snyder appointed finance turnaround expert Jack Martin in July as the district�s third manager.
LaMar Lemmons, president of Detroit�s Board of Education, said when elected four years ago to the unpaid term, he thought the district would emerge from state control within a month.
�I�ve been in wait mode,� Lemmons said. �It is not pleasant, to say the least.�
In comparison, Pontiac is operating under state oversight with a transition advisory board after being run by an emergency manager from 2009 until September.
Pontiac City Councilwoman Mary Pietila said being an elected official in a state-controlled city is a �hard road,� but it remains important for voters in her city as well as for those in Detroit to cast ballots.
�The more numbers they have, the more their EM will see the residents do care,� said Pietila, who is seeking re-election in November to the part-time position.
�If they want to be heard, they need to vote.�
Sara Wurfel, a spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Snyder, says the governor�s message to voters is �we�re all in this together� and urges residents to vote.
�The upcoming elections will be some of the most important in the city�s history,� Wurfel said of Detroit in an email.
�Detroiters will be selecting the leaders who will hopefully work collaboratively with Kevyn during the remainder of his tenure and be entrusted to continue strong financial management and the city�s turnaround and growth upon the manager�s exit.�
�The state�s emergency manager law is just that � an emergency provision,� Wurfel added.
High expectations
Political consultant Eric Foster says Detroit voters are most focused on effective plans from council candidates to improve city operations and finances, not the perceived role of the council with an emergency manager in office.
�That�s what (candidates) need to worry about,� he said.
�That will help fix the concern about democracy. That will help transition from an emergency manager back to self-governance.�
First-time candidate the Rev. David Bullock, who is seeking an at-large council seat, agrees voters �just want to see some results.�
�They want to believe it�s going to get better,� he said.
President Saunteel Jenkins, who is seeking a second term as an at-large council candidate, said voters in this race have greater expectations for the council because of the districts and what the new government structure will bring.
�I do not believe there is apathy,� she said.
�People are passionate about what�s going on in the city and people want to see positive changes, not just changes.�

By Michael Futch Staff writer
Foreclosures in Cumberland County jumped 53 percent in 2012.
Consumer advocates blame the economy, job losses and the mortgage industry not doing enough to help distressed homeowners. But a significant factor in the 825 foreclosures last year may be a surge in cases that banks previously put on hold for a review of documents. Many companies had processed foreclosures without verifying paperwork and now are required to adhere to stricter standards.
Cumberland County had 890 foreclosures in 2010; that number dropped to 538 in 2011, as banks had slowed or suspended their proceedings. Clerks at the Cumberland County Courthouse are now seeing lenders refile stacks of older cases.
The N.C. Justice Center, an organization that advocates for low-income people, found that only a third of homeowners who defaulted on their mortgages last year were able to avoid losing their homes at a foreclosure auction.
Al Ripley, the center's director of housing and consumer affairs, said the numbers reflect job and income losses, inept mortgage customer service and lenders pursuing older cases that had been on hold.
"Historically," Ripley said, "Cumberland County has had a relatively high level of foreclosures. The foreclosure numbers there are pretty high and have stayed pretty high. You don't have the same types of change that other places have. I don't know if that's unique to a military community."
Cumberland County ranks 10th in the state in foreclosures, according to Patricia Tyson of Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Fayetteville, which helps people dig out of financial difficulties.
Foreclosure numbers were much higher in the early to mid-2000s, when adjustable-rate and other "speciality" mortgages got many homeowners in trouble. Foreclosures peaked in 2003 with 1,298 auctions in Cumberland County. A Fayetteville Observer investigation of those cases also found a significant number of them were the result of mortgage fraud, particularly with manufactured housing.
"The biggest problem now is what we call bad mortgage selling," said Ripley of the N.C. Justice Center. "The mortgage servicers are the people who are supposed to collect the payments and fix the problems with loans. They're supposed to manage that account and make modifications to the owner. ... A lot of people who could be getting help to avoid foreclosure aren't getting help."
With many families living paycheck to paycheck, an unexpected expense can trigger a crisis that puts their home in jeopardy.
And some families are still dealing with subprime loans made years ago, he said.
"People who got bad loans five years ago, and they're still having trouble making those payments," he said.
Tyson said two-thirds of people who seek help from her agency are in trouble because of income loss. The reasons range from layoffs to reduced work hours, or a situation where they've had to take a lower-paying job. The other third of her clients have health problems.
"We're seeing a lot of people that have foreclosure filings. But we're able to prevent a lot of those foreclosures," Tyson said.
Consumer Credit Counseling Service is seeing 80 to 90 cases a month in which people are being foreclosed on or have concerns about it.
"Most of the cases we can help," she said. "North Carolina has done a lot to provide options we can use to save homes. We're saving homes, and we're saving families."
Statewide, foreclosure filings remain higher than normal, Ripley said, but not as bad as 2010. December's numbers aren't available, but he expects the yearly total to be around 53,000 based on figures from the N.C. Administrative Office of the Courts.
Those numbers are foreclosure initiations, not the number of cases that ended in a foreclosure auction.
Chris Smoot, a clerk at the Cumberland County Courthouse, sees cases piling up. Her division typically holds hearings one and a half days a week, but the clerks will soon be spending two full days handling foreclosures.
"We've got dates into April already for foreclosure hearings from certain firms," she said.
Smoot attributes the increase to banks and other lenders who had paused certain cases for review.
"Now they've completed that," she said, "and that's started the refiling of those foreclosures. Now we're taking up old cases put on hold and filing all these new cases. Yes, we'll see a larger influx this year than the last two years."
About 22.5 percent of the Fayetteville market's real estate listings last year were foreclosures, up from 18.8 percent in 2011, said Doug Nunnally, president of the Fayetteville Regional Association of Realtors. That doesn't count the homes auctioned on the courthouse steps.
As of Friday morning, 219 out of 2,957 resale listings were foreclosures - about 7.4 percent.
"I think 7.4 is a little high," he said, "but not extreme."
Nunnally would not call this a troubled market.
"It's the same market everybody else has been through. We just got to it later," he said. "We're not California, Nevada, Virginia, Florida. They were among five states that every day we were hearing about their large number of foreclosures. We never had the high numbers they did."

User Review for Baby Bjorn Comfort Carrier
I found that this is a very versatile and ergonomic baby carrier. There are a few different options when carrying your baby. You can have your baby face outwards or towards you. It also has a wide leg position for older babies who want to be close to you, which I found was my sons favorite position. The adjustable waist belt distributes baby's weight so there is no pull on your neck and shoulders. The shoulder straps are very well padded for extra comfort. I was able to walk for hours at the zoo with my son and we were both comfortable. My son was able to face outwards and see what was going on around him and when he was tired I turned him in to avoid being overstimulated. Which made our trip so much more enjoyable! Very sturdy and well built, made of all organic cotton. I feel comfortable using both hands while my son was in the carrier. Most carriers I still use one hand because I never felt he was secure. That is not the case with this carrier. I felt that he was very secure next to me. Included with this carrier is a bib that is easy to toss in the washing machine after your baby has drooled or chewed on it. Great idea! The carrier is a bit bulky, but I feel that the comfort of the carrier outweighs this. It's so comfortable that I wear it all the time anyway and I don't need to stick it in my diaper bag. Overall, I liked everything about this carrier. I feel that it is one of the best carriers on the market. I really liked the waist belt and how it distributed the weight. I also love that I can use it until my son is 31 pounds! The Baby Bjorn Comfort Carrier is well worth the money and I will highly recommend it to everyone.

User Review for Fisher-Price My Little Snugabunny Cradle Swing
We got this when the baby was about a month, we liked that it kept her occupied while getting things done around the house. We started using the swing in the bedroom as a bassinet and it works perfect.

User Review for Bumbo Floor Seat
This is a great product! Since having it for 2 weeks, my 4 month old is already sitting on his own much better then he was. He can't sit completely on his own yet, but the Bumbo really gives him the right feel, it is so easy to use and so comfortable!

High Chairs
When feeding your child, you want them to have the "best seat in the house". Whether you have to spoon feed them or they can feed themselves, a high quality highchair is important to any parent. There are so many different choices for you to pick from. Highchairs come in all different sizes, colors, and styles. With our wide selection of highchairs, we guarantee that you will be able to find the one that fits your needs and your budget.
Typically, you do not need to purchase a highchair until your baby starts to eat solid foods. This usually occurs around the 6 month period. You can of course buy a highchair earlier on. Many parents like to buy them earlier and keep them at the dinner table so they can keep a watchful eye on their little one while they eat.
There are several things that you should look for when purchasing a highchair as well. First, make sure that the highchair is safe. Pick a model that has a Juvenile Products Manufactures Association certificate on it. This certificate is found on mostly all reputable highchair manufacturing companies.
Look for a highchair with height adjustment if you plan to use the chair long term. This way, you can adjust the highchair to be easy on your arms for feeding and adjust the height as your baby grows older in age.
Also, check the straps on the highchair. Try to find a highchair where the straps are strong, durable and machine washable. Steer clear of models that only have a loop that goes around the baby's waist. It is very easy for the baby to slip out of these and get hurt.
Highchairs can also get dirty very quickly, so choose a model that will wash well. Vinyl cushions are easy to be wiped down. Also, if you choose a highchair with cloth cushions, make sure they are removable for easy cleaning.
Some of our bestselling models include:
Safety 1st Vineland Solid Wood Highchair
Gracco Classic Wooden Highchair
Whatever your needs are, you are sure to find them with our huge selection at BabyAge.com!

Long-distance calling
This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2012) |
In telecommunications, a long-distance call is a telephone call made outside a certain area, usually characterized by an area code outside of a local call area (known in the United States as a local access and transport area or LATA). Long-distance calls usually carry long-distance charges that, within certain nations, vary between phone companies and are the subject of much competition. International calls are calls made between different countries, and usually carry much higher charges. These calls are charged to the calling party if the called party declines a collect call.
Categories and charges[edit]
In the United States, long-distance is either of two different classes of calls that are not local calls. The most common class of long-distance is often called interstate long-distance, though the more accurate term is inter-LATA interstate long-distance. This is the form of long-distance most commonly meant by the term, and the one for which long-distance carriers are usually chosen by telephone customers.
Another form of long-distance, increasingly relevant to more U.S. states, is known as intra-LATA intrastate long-distance. This refers to a calling area outside of the customer's LATA but within the customer's state. While technically and legally long-distance, this calling area is not necessarily served by the same carrier used for "regular" long-distance, or may be provided at different rates. In some cases, customer confusion occurs as, due to rate or carrier distinctions, a local long-distance call can be billed at a higher per-minute rate than interstate long-distance calls, despite being a shorter distance.[citation needed]
Often, in large LATAs, there is also a class known by the oxymoronic name local long-distance, which refers to calls within the customer's LATA but outside their local calling area. This area is normally served by the customer's local telephone provider, which is usually one of the Baby Bells, despite attempts by some CLECs to compete in the local telephone market.[citation needed]
In California, in addition to intra-LATA and inter-LATA calling, there are ZUM (Zone Usage Measurement) areas within the local Service Areas.[citation needed]
Callers are usually offered a variety of rate "plans" depending on usage, although which plan is cheapest for a given amount of usage is often not obvious. Plans may be "unlimited" or may package an initial amount of minutes and charge additional minutes at a flat rate, and further varieties abound. Some plans can be compared easily if the number of minutes of usage will be estimated in advance, but others are not as clearly comparable. Some of these plans can be found on websites that compare a variety of long-distance phone and phone card options, giving consumers useful and timely information.[citation needed]
In 1892, AT&T built an interconnected long-distance telephone network, which reached from New York to Chicago, the technological limit for non-amplified wiring. Users often did not use their own phone for such connections, but made an appointment to use a special long-distance telephone booth or "silence cabinet" equipped with 4-wire telephones and other advanced technology. The invention of loading coils extended the range to Denver in 1911, again reaching a technological limit. A major research venture and contest led to the development of the audion—originally invented by Lee De Forest and greatly improved by others in the years between 1907 and 1914—which provided the means for telephone signals to reach from coast to coast. Such transcontinental calling was made possible in 1914 but was not showcased until early 1915, as a promotion for the upcoming Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in the spring of the same year.[citation needed]
On January 25, 1915, Alexander Graham Bell ceremonially sent the first transcontinental telephone call from 15 Dey Street in New York City, which was received by his former assistant Thomas A. Watson at 333 Grant Avenue in San Francisco. This process, nevertheless, involved five intermediary telephone operators and took 23 minutes to connect. The New York Times reported:[2]
- "On October 9, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas A. Watson talked by telephone to each other over a two-mile (3 km) wire stretched between Cambridge and Boston. It was the first wire conversation ever held. Yesterday afternoon the same two men talked by telephone to each other over a 3,400-mile (5,500 km) wire between New York and San Francisco. Dr. Bell, the veteran inventor of the telephone, was in New York, and Mr. Watson, his former associate, was on the other side of the continent. They heard each other much more distinctly than they did in their first talk thirty-eight years ago."
At that distant time, long-distance calling was performed by manual patching in the route of the call by a series of long-distance operators; connecting a coast-to-coast call this way thus took up to 23 minutes.
The first self-dialed customer-connected long-distance telephone call in North America was made much later on November 11, 1951 when Mayor M. Leslie Denning of Englewood, New Jersey called Mayor Frank Osborne of Alameda, California, using AT&T's direct distance dialing feature.[3] This was the first call dialed with an area code, using what is now called 10-digit dialing, and was connected automatically within 18 seconds.[4] In addition to area codes, this development also came with the introduction of a national seven-digit standard for local number length. Self-dialed customer connected calls had been common in Europe decades earlier, prompted by telephone companies such as the International Bell Telephone Company that were not hesitant to incorporate newer technology into their systems.
Until the early 1980s a called party could instantly recognize an incoming long-distance call by its hiss or low level, due to the inherent signal loss and introduction of noise common with all-analog long-distance telecommunication circuits of the era.[citation needed] The introduction of digital technologies such pulse-code modulation and T-carrier circuits by AT&T starting in 1961 (and adopted by their long-distance networks on a larger scale starting in the early to mid-1970s) let long-distance calls match the high voice quality of local calls.[citation needed]
With the breakup of the Bell system in 1984, the US federal government imposed rules to allow the Baby Bells and other long-distance providers to compete via "equal access." Equal access allows telephone subscribers to choose an authorized telephone company or companies to handle their local toll and long-distance toll (including international) calls from their traditional, wireline telephones. Where equal access is available, subscribers may dial the prefix "1010" and a 3-digit code specific to the long-distance Carrier in order to have that carrier handle the InterLATA call. These Equal Access codes are currently known: 1010288 – AT&T, 1010333 – Sprint, 1010550 – CenturyLink. By dialing a special number (in the U.S.), 1-700-555-4141, a subscriber can hear a recorded message that announces the InterLATA carrier. By dialing the Equal Access code and then this '700' number, the recorded message is played for the selected carrier.[citation needed]
Media files[edit]
Dramatization of a long distance call circa 1954 In this excerpt from the radio series Dragnet, Sgt. Joe Friday (Jack Webb) places a person-to-person long-distance call to a number on a manual switchboard in Fountain Green, Utah. In the call, Friday calls a long-distance operator in Los Angeles and gives the name and number of the called party. The operator then calls a rate operator to get the route and rate. The rate operator responds that the call should be routed through Salt Lake City, Utah and Mount Pleasant, Utah and that the rate for a night person call is $1.40 per minute ($12.15 in 2013 dollars). The Los Angeles operator then calls the Salt Lake City operator and asks for Mount Pleasant; the Salt Lake operator rings Mount Pleasant, and the Los Angeles operator asks the Mount Pleasant operator for Fountain Green. The Mount Pleasant operator next rings Fountain Green, and the Los Angeles operator gives the Fountain Green operator the number and name of the called party in Fountain Green. The Fountain Green operator then rings the number. A man answers and the Los Angeles operator asks for the called party and states that Los Angeles is calling. The dramatization illustrates the cumbersome and labor-intensive process needed for long-distance calling before direct distance dialing was a reality.[citation needed]

The Tablet Market: Key Industry Players
The tablet computing industry is growing at an exponential rate with no signs of slowing down. More and more hedge funds and alternative investment organisations are considering moving away from laptops and notebook computers as the popularity of the tablet continues to grow. Many hedge funds are becoming attracted to the tablet more than ever, as this new technology allows them to track down market intelligence and stay abreast of changes more efficiently via apps, as opposed to trawling through the web via laptops or desktops.
Tablet apps provide hedge fund users with a tailored computing experience, as they are now able to dive right in and get the information they require instead of having to take time searching for it. This is a major advantage for hedge funds because it allows managers to focus on returns and keep a closer eye on risk and exposure.
There is certainly no shortage when it comes to innovation and advancements in the world of tablets and technology. Thus far, Apple's iPad has established and dominated this industry. But as time passes, we are seeing new competitors entering the marketplace. Today, some of other the key players in the tablet industry include:
- Google Android
- Motorola Xoom
- BlackBerry PlayBook
- Samsung Sliding Series 7 PC
- Lenovo IdeaPad U1 Hybrid
- LG G-Slate
At the moment, the Apple iPad 2 still ranks as the most widely used tablet among hedge funds and other alternative investment organizations. However, as these new competitors continue to improve their offerings, they are beginning to steal a greater share of the tablet market.

A blessed Holy Friday to all you Orthodox
It always suprised me that one of the most popular Fungible Convictions posts in the last year was about Orthodox Holy Friday—our Good Friday. While other posts would get a spike in visitors, without fail every day someone found Fungible Convictions by searching for information on Good Friday and the passages used in the evening service.
It's a year later, and tonight was our Holy Friday "Lamentations" service at my church, St. Mary's in Cambridge, MA. I figured I'd use tonight as an opportunity for Orthodox P.R., since still not many folks know much about it.
The video above shows, grainily, our funeral procession down Massachusetts Ave. tonight. At the front is a flower-covered bier representing a coffin, and halfway through the video you'll see that we meet up with our brothers and sisters from Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church, also near Central Square, Cambridge. I tried my best to get a few shots of strangers' reactions: last year we turned more people on to Orthodox Christianity in fifteen minutes than the church had in fifteen years; this year, we were a more familiar sight, which altogether is a good thing, even though we snarled traffic for half an hour.
My favorite part—I think you can hear it in the audio—is when a homeless man realizes he just hit the jackpot, what with a couple hundred moderately wealthy devoted Christians passing by.
Tomorrow I'll try to post a video, and some pictures, of the Saturday morning service, widely regarded at the most beautiful service in Orthodoxy, more beautiful than any service I've ever seen, and that includes Jesuit Kairos Masses and a couple Moravian Lovefeasts.
But for now, like last year, I'll leave off with some Holy Friday poetry, used in tonight's service. . . .
From the first stasis, sung by all during Lamentations:
Who will give me water, for the tears I must weep. So the maiden wed to God cried with loud lament, that for my sweet Jesus I may rightly mourn.
Lo, how fair his beauty! Never man was so fair; but how strangely now has death changed that face we knew, though all nature all her beauty to him owes.
From the second stasis:
That I may renew man's lost nature now from beauty fallen, gladly in my flesh I take death on me: wherefore, mother, slay me not with bitter tears.
Ah, those eyes so sweet and thy lips, O Word, how shall I close them? How shall I the dues of death to thee pay? So cried Joseph as he shook with holy fear.
