Subject: [DW] PewInternet.org - Releases new Government Online report
Here is an important question from the survey:
Overall, when you have a question, problem, or task that requires
contact with your local, state or federal government, which method of
contact do you prefer most?...Calling on the phone, visiting in
person, writing a letter, visiting a website, sending email [ Q.14 ]
Today - Aug 2003
35% Calling on the phone - 38%
20% Visiting in person - 15%
11% Writing a letter - 15%
10% Visiting a website - 17%
18% Sending email - 9%
1% Some other way (Vol.) - 1%
4% Never contact government (Vol.) - 4%
1% Don't know - 1%
*% Refused
Note from seven years ago that the most preferred way to contact
government has sending an e-mail up 8% and visiting a web site down
7%. Very interesting. So for those governments and elected officials
who have deleted their e-mail address from their website and replaced
it with only a web form, please take note. Also interesting is a 5%
increase in those who prefer to visit government in-person. Must be
the free coffee. ;-) - Steven Clift

Featured Report: Government Online
Government agencies have begun to open up their data to the public,
and a surprisingly large number of citizens are showing interest. Some
40% of adult internet users have gone online for raw data about
government spending and activities. This includes anyone who has done
at least one of the following: look online to see how federal stimulus
money is being spent (23% of internet users have done this); read or
download the text of legislation (22%); visit a site such as data.gov
that provides access to government data (16%); or look online to see
who is contributing to the campaigns of their elected officials (14%).
The report also finds that 31% of online adults have used social tools
such as blogs, social networking sites, and online video as well as
email and text alerts to keep informed about government activities.
Moreover, these new tools show particular appeal to groups that have
historically lagged in their use of other online government
offerings-in particular, minority Americans. Latinos and African
Americans are just as likely as whites to use these tools to keep up
with government, and are much more likely to agree that government
outreach using these channels makes government more accessible and
helps people be more informed about what government agencies are
doing.
"Just as social media and just-in-time applications have changed the
way Americans get information about current events or health
information, they are now changing how citizens interact with elected
officials and government agencies," said Research Specialist Aaron
Smith, author of the report. "People are not only getting involved
with government in new and interesting ways, they are also using these
tools to share their views with others and contribute to the broader
debate around government policies."

What are you doing on May 12 at 11:45 am? Can you help with the passing oout of some literature at the Court House?
1. FIJA Demonstration of April 26, 2010
It was raining heavily in Fort Lauderdale, FL, on Monday, April 29, 2010, so that the FIJA literature distribution at noontime was cancelled. However the weather cleared at about 3:00 pm, so I went to the U. S. District Courthouse at 299 E. Broward Boulevard. I arrived shortly after 4:00 pm and stood on the city sidewalk about 1 foot in front of federal property. There were almost no pedestrians, but I stayed to see what would happen.
Within two minutes Officer Wright from the Security Protective Service approached me and told me that it was illegal to distribute literature without a permit. I said that I had a permit and showed him my pocket U. S. Constitution. He said that was not sufficient, butI did not leave. He asked my name, but I would not provide it. He left.
Soon thereafter, Officer Wright returned with another officer from the Security Protective Service, whose name I did not get. They asked me to show a picture identification, but I did not have any identification with me. They agains asked my name, so that they could address me as a person. I told them to call me “Honey.” Officer Wright said he could not do that, because it was a girl’s name. He would call me Bill. From now on I am known as Bill of Wright’s.
They said that since I was standing on city property, they had no jurisdiction and that I was not their problem. They informed me that there was a city ordinance requiring everyone to carry picture identification, and that the city police would confront me. Then they left.
I decided to stay where I was to see what the city police would do. I stayed for about 1/2 hour, but the city police never appeared. Not even a squad car drove by. I left at 4:55 pm. Altogether I passed out 11 FIJA pamphlets (including the one to the security officers) entitled “A Primer for Prospective Jurors,” along with my insert which reads:
THE JUDGE WILL INSTRUCT THE JURY THAT IT MUST UPHOLD THE LAW AS HE GIVES IT
HE WILL BE LYING
THE JURY MUST JUDGE THE LAW AS WELL AS THE FACTS
JURIES WERE INSTITUTED TO PROTECT CITIZENS FROM THE TYRANNY OF GOVERNMENT
IT IS NOT THE DUTY OF THE JURY TO UPHOD THE LAW
IT IS THE JURY’S DUTY TO SEE THAT JUSTICE IS DONE
2. Musumeci files lawsuit
Antonio Musumeci, the photographer arrested for photographing me at the FIJA demonstration of November 09, 2009, submitted a civil complaint against Homeland Security on April 27 or 28, 2010. The New York Civil Liberties Union is representing him. The filing was noted on WNYC.
3. Lost judge’s case appeal
My appeal of the U. S. District Court’s dismissal of my civil complaint to sue Several New York judges, clerks of court, the city Comptroller, and the New York County district attorney was rejected by the Circuit Court on April 20, 2010. My pleadings are given on my web page at http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/j/p/jph13/Judicial_Failure.html . A more complete discussion will appear in my forthcoming book “The Non-Trials” to be published early in 2011.
4. FIJA Demonstration of April 29, 2010
Seven of us gathered at the U. S. District Courthouse at 601 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA at about 11:30 am on Thursday, April 29, 2010. It was a beautiful warm sunny day, though a little windy. The participants were Jim Babb, George Donnelly, Jim Allen, Rich Schwarz, Thomas Marinelli, Michael Molloy, and myself. Rich, George, and Michael had cameras. Later we were joined by William Faust and Donna Ward. Before the demonstration, I was interviewed by Jim Allen for his TV show. We started passing out the Fully Informed Jury pamphlet "A Primer for Prospective Jurors" with my handout at 11:45 am in front of the courthouse. No police officers of any sort appeared all day here.
Jim Babb, George Donnelly, Richard Schwarz, and Tom Marinelli went to the courtyard on the side of the building at about 12:00 noon to distribute the pamphlets there. They were soon joined by me. About 12:30 three security guards appeared and asked us to identify ourselves, which we did not do. We asked them to identify themselves, but they refused. They informed us that we could not pass out literature or take pictures on federal property. Thomas and George demanded to know the laws involved, which the officers refused to tell. It appeared that they probably did not know them. A scuffle ensued when the officers interfered with the picture taking, in which George received a cut finger.
The officers said that we were on federal property and had to comply. I responded that I was the owner of federal land and that they were my servants. The aggressive guards that assaulted George were ordered by another person to stand down and go inside the building. The three of them left, never to return. However several Homeland Security officers were on the premises, but did not approach us. We continued to pass out literature and take pictures until 1:35 pm when we left for a nice lunch in a Thai restaurant.
Pictures of the event can be found at blog of bile (http://blogofbile.com/) as well as at the following websites:

6. Future Plans
a. On Monday night, May 3, 2010, I will be interviewed on Bill Sihr’s Common Sense Radio Show (WJNC 1360 AM) between 6 and 7 pm. The show will be about First Amendment rights.
b. On Monday, May 3, 2010 I will be attempting to distribute FIJA literature again at the U. S. District Courthouse at 500 Pearl Street in Manhattan, NY. Please join me . Bring cameras if you can. Our experience now has been that the more people participating, the less the harassment.
c. On Saturday, May 8, 2010, I will give the sermon at about 10:30 am entitled “Who are the Jews” during sabbath services on the entrance floor at Congregation Beth Shalom in Teaneck, NJ. At least one of you expressed an interest in attending. Men must wear head covering. There are two services occurring simultaneously. The more traditional is upstairs. The singing service, which has the flavor of a southern Baptist black church, is on the ground floor in the rear to the right. I will be at the singing service, which also has a bunch of little kids playing in the back to add to the flavor.
d. I am planning FIJA demonstrations at the following dates and locations:
Monday, May 3, 2010, 11:45 am–1:15 pm: Manhattan, NY, 500 Pearl Street
Monday, May 10, 2010, 11:45 am–1:15 pm: Trenton, NJ, 402 East State Street
Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 8:00 am–9:30 am: Allentown, PA, 504 West Hamilton Street
Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 11:45 am–1:15 pm : Reading, PA, 400 Washington Street
Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 8:00 am–9:30 am: Johnstown, PA, 319 Washington Street
Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 11:45 am–1:15 pm: Pittsburgh, PA, 700 Grant Street
Thursday, May 13, 2010, 11:45 am–1:15 pm: Harrisburg, PA, 100 Walnut Street
Friday, May 14, 2010, 8:00 am–9:30 am: Philadelphia, PA, 601 Market Street
Friday, May 14, 2010, 11:45 am–1:15 pm: Wilmington, DE, 844 North King Street
Please notify me which events you can attend.
7. Your Assignment
Your assignment is publicity, publicity, publicity. Try to get more people to join the tyranny fighters Email list. Also keep me informed of any demonstrations that you are involved in or planning.
8. Immigration
Let me digress and discuss our illegal immigrant problem. The state of Arizona has just passed a law making it a misdemeanor to be in public without picture identification. The maximum punishment for a misdemeanor is usually one year. It varies some from state to state.
Arizona’s solution to the illegal immigrant problem is to catch the illegal immigrants, who do not have legal identification, and put them in prison. That will teach those Latino bastards, who love our country so much that they risked their lives to sneak into our country illegally and work for slave labor wages.
Of course they are undesirables, because they are taking jobs from REAL Americans. They do not pay taxes because they have no legal income. Furthermore their children cannot legally attend school, so that they roam the streets in gangs. Also their income is so low that they live in slums, thus destroying neighborhoods. They have the annoying habit of speaking Spanish.
Arizona will teach those bastards a lesson by putting them in prison. They will receive free food, clothing, housing, medical care, legal advice, an hour of health club every day, and around the clock police protection. Their children will be even more unattended. The prisoners will not be allowed to work, because that was their crime.
However now REAL Americans will be able to get the slave labor jobs. The unemployment problem will be solved, since, in addition to the available slave labor jobs, the number of prison guards, parole and probation officers, court personnel, medics, and legal advisors needed will increase dramatically. Unemployment will end, and the economy will boom.
Of course taxes will increase dramatically to pay for all of this government care. The courts will become clogged so that there will be no resources to deal with real crime. Medics will be so busy that REAL Americans will get less medical care.
After a stint in prison, the Latino bastards will be returned to their native countries, so that they can again risk their lives and sneak back into the United States. When the word gets out in their home countries that going to the United States will provide free food, clothing, shelter, medical and legal care, and health club, the number of bastard Latinos that will love the United States and sneak into our country will increase dramatically, especially since they will not be permitted to work. Instead of 10 million, we will have 50 million of them. Eventually they will get control of several states and maybe even the whole country.
Meanwhile what will happen to the rest of us? We will have to show our picture identifications several times a day. This will become a nuisance, so we will start wearing them on our outer garments. The fashion industry will realize that a market exists for designer clothes, some (or maybe all) of which will have your identification inscribed in a yellow Star of David.
We will now be supporting millions of Latino bastards in our prisons. Real criminals, including the Latino teenage gangs will roam our streets. However we will have the satisfaction of showing these people that they cannot fool around with REAL Americans.
If this solution does not appeal to you, we have the option of cutting off the hands and feet of everyone without a picture identification and leaving them to die in the streets. However this may not help the economy.
A third possibility is to follow the biblically suggested route: “And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. The stranger that soujourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself” (Leviticus XIX 33-34).
Provide the immigrants with work permits, so that they can make more money, pay their income taxes, clean up their homes, and increase consumer consumption. Let their children go to school to get an education and keep themselves off the streets. The immigrants may even continue to love the U. S., rather than to distrust, and ultimately despise, it.
Ah, but this is very unfair to the respectable people who wish to immigrate legally. This is so, but we have no obligation to foreign nationals. No system is perfect.
Warning: You should know that The Federal Protective Service, and possibly the FBI, is intercepting my e-mails. Another violation of our civil liberties. Be prudent if you write to me.

About Russ Diamond
Russ was born in Hershey, Pennsylvania and raised with four siblings in rural Lebanon County. After graduating from Northern Lebanon High School and Lebanon County Vo-Tech in 1981, he entered the work force in a manufacturing facility. Seven years later, he chose to pursue a career as a musician.
His experiences as a musician led him to open a recording studio in the Lebanon area in late 1992. The business subsequently gained regional acclaim and has been transformed into the nationally known CD and DVD manufacturing and duplication service known as Raintree.
Russ founded PACleanSweep in July 2005 in response to the infamous midnight pay raise enacted by the Pennsylvania General Assembly. The organization fielded more than 110 candidates for legislative seats during the historic 2006 election cycle and helped turn over 24 percent of the General Assembly.
Along the way, the group was instrumental in the first-ever ouster of a sitting state Supreme Court justice at a retention election and the stunning repeal of the pay raise. PACleanSweep was awarded the "Golden Dot" for the Best PAC or Non-Partisan Internet Campaign of 2005 by George Washington University’s Institute for Politics, Democracy & the Internet.
In January 2006, Russ was named one of three "Citizens of the Year" by the Philadelphia Inquirer - along with activists Gene Stilp and Tim Potts - for their collective efforts in helping to force the pay raise repeal in November 2005. In July 2006, the three were recognized - along with fellow activist Eric Epstein - with the "Public Service Achievement Award" from Common Cause/Pennsylvania.
The four were recognized once again in November 2006, receiving the "Communicator of the Year" award from the Harrisburg chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators.
A licensed private pilot since 2001, Russ serves as president of the Annville Flight Club.
He resides in Annville, Lebanon County in a home his great-grandparents built.

Principles of Taxation
Those Who Benefit Should PayMore: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100429153420/fixpa/images/6/67/No_Drink_Tax-Brochure.pdf
A drink tax to pay for alcohol-related problems might make sense. Using it to pay for transit makes no sense at all. However, access to transit increases urban land values by many times what a land value tax would cost.
Taxes Should Not Burden the Poor
It is a myth that a drink tax falls on the rich. Wealthy people are more likely to entertain privately and escape the tax. Property tax occasionally falls on the poor, but land value tax almost never falls on the poor.
Taxes Should Not Drag the Economy Down
Drink taxes make the county less attractive to tourists, vacationers and conventioneers who bring money into the county and stimulate the economy. Land value taxes make the county less attractive to slumlords, speculators and absentee landlords who take money out of the county and hold back the economy.
Even property taxes prevent speculation and real estate bubbles. Cities with the lowest property taxes had the worst housing bubbles and now have the most foreclosures. We can stop taxing people’s homes, but we must never stop taxing the value of land if we want stable land prices.
A Tax on Restaurant Customers is Worse Than a Tax on Restaurant Owners
Most restaurant owners will pay more under a land value tax than under a property tax. Still, the ones we have talked to don’t mind paying more if it allows their customers to pay a lot less. Restaurant owners view their customers as partners in trade. You give them something, and they give you something; what robs you, robs them.
Political developers and land speculators, on the other hand, view taxpayers as victims to be fleeced. They do not understand that nobody wins when working people and honest businesses are overtaxed.

See the article about the PPS Obama, its evolution of name, mascot and colors.
We spoke AGAINST the name, Obama. If that name was to be used, it should be done after he departs the Oval Office. Until then, a placeholder name, such as Pittsburgh International High School could have been used.
Furthermore, none had a negative feeling to the name, Roberto Clemente. Some have a different reaction to B.O.
Frankly, I think it is bad to have public money being spent on a candidate for office, as will be the case when he seeks re-election in 2012.

Pittsburgh Marathon Insights
This Sunday is the 21st running of the Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon! This isn't the consecutive year, as Mayor Murphy killed the marathon when he was playing chicken with the city's budget.
If you are driving around town, to chuch or after a night of whatever on the South Side, please watch out. Get where you want to go early or late.
The police officers on duty are extremely strict about not opening the roads, even for a vehicle to simply cross.
There will be five photographers on the course taking photos of the entertainment on the course. Four will be on bikes and the other on the media truck that leads the runners. If you do NOT want your photo taken, duck. These photos will be used on the race website, publicity materials, and other forms of marketing.
After the race, encourage your friends, family, and anyone else to head to http://www.pittsburghmarathon.com/ to vote for the group with the best cheering. The groups chosen as the best will receive grants! Polls will likely be open for one week following the race.
There are six wheelchair Marathoners that will be participating. They move at a faster pace than runners so if you see these wheelers and then have a break before any runners pass through, don’t panic. They will be coming.
If you see something happen along the course. A runner trips, gets hurt, collapses, etc. Please do NOT comment on it. Only Race Director Patrice Matamoros and UPMC’s Dr. Roth are permitted to speak to the media about medical issues.
Pittsburgh Today Live interview: http://kdka.com/video/?id=71513@kdka.dayport.com I’m just an intern but our Race Director has said if the course entertainment goes as well as it looks to be, I will become a full-time staff member after I graduate next week! So hopefully all goes well this Sunday!

South Fayette school board to reconsider facility fees
South Fayette school board to reconsider facility fees Following an outcry from extracurricular sports groups and community organizations, South Fayette school directors Tuesday night agreed to re-evaluate the district's schedule of fees for using the gym, auditorium, sports fields and other school facilities.These facilities are owned by the public.
Board members voted 8-0 to suspend the facility fee schedule -- developed by administrators and board members and adopted last month -- and to temporarily reinstate the previous guidelines.
About 35 people attended the board meeting to protest the fee schedule, saying it was unclear, unfair and unaffordable.
'I feel like you're picking on the little guys now,' said Bob Antoszewski, president of the Lady Lions recreational basketball program.
The district plans to form a new committee, including members of the public, to reconsider the issue. Residents interested in joining the committee may e-mail Superintendent Bille Rondinelli at brondinelli@southfayette.org.

Should Student Scores Be Used To Evaluate Teachers? - Bridging Differences - Education Week
Should Student Scores Be Used To Evaluate Teachers? - Bridging Differences - Education Week Wherever I go, I meet many teachers who say virtually the same thing: They have never been more demoralized in their professional lives. They feel that they are scapegoats for everything that is wrong in American education. Arne Duncan and Barack Obama, even more than Margaret Spellings and George W. Bush, are giving credibility to the idea that 100 percent of students should be proficient, that teachers are to blame when test scores are not 100 percent proficient, that teachers use students' poverty as just an excuse for their bad teaching, and that firing teachers is laudable and courageous. Teachers say that they worked hard to elect Obama, and they now feel betrayed by his negative attitudes about teachers. They say, 'If only Obama or Duncan would spend a few days in my classroom...'
I'd be in favor of this if it was a big "D" on the back of his shirt.
Change the "L" to a "D" -- for Drunk. Then I'm fine with the ad.
Update:
Now I see the bent beer bottle ad and posted this to the Hogie's Facebook page:
Impotence isn't a bad thing as it beats the pants off of some of the alternatives: i.e., STDs and abortions and babies making babies.
This ad screams (and Bruce must sanction) that the South Side is a great place come (PUN) to drink and perform well in bed.
Impotence isn't the ill that the neighbors aim to curb. That isn't the thrust (PUN again) that should be delivered with the campaign.
Can ads put end to wild South Side behavior? Somebody affixed a big 'L,' for 'Loser,' to the back of his shirt.

Policy Brief
An electronic publication of
The Allegheny Institute for Public Policy
April 27, 2010 Volume 10, Number 22
Pittsburgh’s Financial Watchdogs Lose Their Bark
Pittsburgh City Council recently enacted a prevailing wage bill and is now considering a living wage bill. Both measures will almost certainly increase City spending either directly, by raising the wage rates of its employees, or indirectly, as contractors push the costs back to the City through higher bids. The question that cries out for an answer is; where are the Act 47 coordinator and the Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (the oversight board)? Why are they silent about these legislative efforts?
The prevailing wage bill, passed in March, requires all City contractors and subcontractors to pay its building service and food service workers a prevailing wage for those occupations as determined by the City Controller. It also requires that “(b)uilding service, food service, hotel, and grocery employees shall be paid at least the prevailing wage according to their job classification for all work performed on or related to projects that receive a City subsidy…” While firms feeding at the public trough get no sympathy from us, this law will have two unintended consequences. First it will cause firms to ask for greater subsidies to compensate them for having to pay higher wages and secondly it will throw up one more signal to any firm looking to locate in the City that Council is willing to meddle in the private market and mandate wage rates.
Now a living wage ordinance is currently under consideration by City Council. An earlier version was introduced and passed nearly a decade ago. It was to go into effect only after Allegheny County enacted a similar law, which at the time County Council was unable and unwilling to do. Apparently City Council is now willing to go it alone. The proposed new version of the law states that “…City employees, employees of City service contractors, subcontractors, and employees and contractors of City financial assistance earn an hourly wage that is sufficient to live with dignity and to achieve economic self-sufficiency.”
This law will directly increase the City’s personnel costs. When the bottom rung of the wage ladder is raised, higher wage earners will expect some increase as well.
Contractors forced to pay higher wages and benefits will ask for an upward adjustment in their contract payments to cover the mandated compensation increases. The City will have to shoulder some of that burden. If the City refuses, contractors could be forced to lay off workers and cut services. Then too, there is the effect on other wage earners below the “living wage” and their employers who are not covered by the by the living wage law. A two tier wage system will develop for comparable jobs and skills, one for jobs with a City government connection and another for comparable jobs with no City government connection. Eventually, the lower tier wage workers will press for wages beyond what employers can afford and unnecessary workplace tensions will develop—yet another City created worsening of the City’s business climate.
Which brings us back to our original question: where are the Act 47 team and the ICA in all of this? Why haven’t we heard their opinion on what these bills will do to the City’s budget?
In its 2009 Plan, the Act 47 team had this to say about Workforce and Collective Bargaining: “With almost 74 percent of the annual budget allocated to employee-related expenses, workforce costs are a critical factor in the City’s fiscal condition. If workforce costs are not maintained at affordable levels, the results can not only erode the City’s budget health, but can also have adverse impacts for municipal employees and City service levels.” So the Act 47 team has stated in writing the City needs to be mindful of its workforce spending, but is now strangely silent in the face of two bills that will almost certainly raise employment costs.
Furthermore the 2009 Act 47 Plan states that “(g)oing forward, the City’s primary workforce challenges are twofold:
1) Continuing to contain overall personnel cost growth at levels that can be sustained within the City’s fiscal resources;
2) Actively addressing the longer term, $1 billion legacy cost crisis.”
Have the City’s fiscal resources improved while no one was looking? It wasn’t very long ago the Mayor was proposing a tax on post secondary tuition on students in the City—
evidence the City’s fiscal situation has not improved, certainly not enough to shake free of financial oversight.
The living wage legislation will almost certainly increase the City’s personnel costs. And since pensions are based on worker pay, legacy costs will rise as well. Yet not a peep from the state appointed overseers.
Has the City promised financial overseers it will make expenditure cuts to offset the higher personnel costs arising from the living wage bill? Has the City promised to find revenue to cover the higher expenses? If the City has done neither, the oversight panels should be very vocal in opposing any legislation that increases City spending. Otherwise they are not fulfilling their responsibilities.

How the Internet is Changing Politics in Great Britain | techPresident
How the Internet is Changing Politics in Great Britain techPresident The British media is overwhelmingly owned by right-wing billionaires who order their newspapers to build up the politicians who serve their interests, and marginalise or rubbish the politicians who serve the public interest. David Yelland, the former editor of the Sun, bravely confessed this week that as soon as he took his post, he was told the Liberal Dems had to be 'the invisible party, purposely edged off the paper's pages and ignored'. Only a tiny spectrum of opinion was permitted. Everyone to the left of Tony Blair (not hard) had to be rubbished – even when their policies spoke for a majority of British people.

OOoCon 2010 Call for Papers
The OpenOffice.org Community Celebrates Its Tenth Anniversary!
This year's meeting will be held in one of Europe's most beautiful cities, Budapest, Hungary, from August 31st - September 3rd, 2010. We hope you will join us in our celebration and conference!
Whether you are a dedicated developer, a contributor of any measure, or just interested in the Project and its technology, such as the OpenDocument Format (ODF), we want to hear from you. Please note the conference language is English, and all presentations must be delivered in that language.
We particularly welcome proposals from developers and other contributors with information to share with their fellows, from how to get started with simple extensions, through to the deep, dirty, and downright fun aspects of hacking the OpenOffice.org codebase. We urge creative, ambitious ideas. This is the place for those!
Papers are also welcomed on any topic of interest to the Community: to the thousands of people who have joined one of our projects and design, develop, maintain, translate, test, document, support, promote, or in any other way help us bring OpenOffice.org's products and services to the world. We especially encourage local communities to submit papers for a special feature on local success stories.
Submit your paper at http://www.ooocon.org/
We look forward to seeing you at our 10th anniversary conference to celebrate our achievements and show the world what we offer in his next decade.If you don't use OpenOffice.org software, shame on you.

If you want to go South of the Border, check out this event.
The deadline to submit papers and posters to the 4th International Conference on Concept Mapping has been extended to Wednesday May 19. Because of the earthquake in Chile, universities and schools in the country have started late their school year. This has resulted in that colleagues in Chile have requested more time to prepare and submit their papers. We are extending the deadline for paper submission until May 19, and making the extension available to everybody. We hope this will result in a larger participation from the Chilean (and international) Cmappers community.
We look forward to seeing you in Viña del Mar in October / Esperamos verle en Viña del Mar en Octubre.
