		<description><![CDATA[More for the book&#8230; In 1957, a blind, five year old boy named Joe Engressia first realized that he could control the phone system and make long distance phone calls at no cost by whistling a specific pitch down the phone line. The AT&#38;T phone network used twelve combinations of six audio tones as control [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=johnnyryan.wordpress.com&blog=289287&post=566&subd=johnnyryan&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

In May 2009, the Newspaper Association of America issued figures revealing a 29.7% decline in US newspapers&#8217; print advertising revenues in a single quarter at the beginning of 2009.
