Key figures in a phone-jamming scheme designed to keep New Hampshire Democrats from voting in 2002 had regular contact with the White House and Republican Party as the plan was unfolding, phone records introduced in criminal court show.

The records show that Bush campaign operative James Tobin, who recently was convicted in the case, made two dozen calls to the White House within a three-day period around Election Day 2002 -- as the phone jamming operation was finalized, carried out and then abruptly shut down.

English film-maker Gurinder Chadha is in talks to direct the movie adaptation of 1980s soap opera Dallas - a week after Robert Luketic walked out on the project. Luketic abruptly quit the 20th Century Fox-produced movie last week amid reports he was unhappy with the casting choices. Jennifer Lopez, Shirley MacLaine, John Travolta and Luke Wilson are currently in negotiations to play Sue Ellen, Miss Ellie, JR and Bobby Ewing respectively. Kenyan-born Chadha is known for her work on Bend It Like Beckham, What's Cooking? and Bride and Prejudice.
"Sir Sean Connery is expected to officially announce he is quitting Hollywood when he collects his Lifetime Achievement Award at the American Film Institute later this year. Connery, who is recuperating after undergoing surgery to remove a Kidney tumor in January, plans to spend his time writing books instead. He says, "I have retired for good. It's been a bit rough since Christmas but I'm perfectly OK and I feel well. In fact, I'm working on a history book." Harrison Ford, meanwhile, is campaigning for the actor to return to The screen for the upcoming fourth Indiana Jones movie."
"Watch "Star Trek", the original series, as you've never seen it before with G4's , putting you in command of a Starfleet of interactive Trek features while you watch. For example, "Beam Me Up" is a real-time chat room where you can chat about the episode and see your commentary broadcast live. You can also learn obscure facts, stories, and little-known insider information about the show while you keep an eye on "Trek Stats," an ever-growing tally of classic Star Trek moments (such as Spock saying "illogical" or mounting "Red Shirt" deaths). There's also the "Spock Market" where you can buy (and sell) shares of Kirk or McCoy, and watch a real-time Star Trek Stock Exchange running on the right-hand side of the TV screen showing the gains and losses of each character's stock as they are affected by the events in each episode (e.g. Kirk's stock may increase if he scores with a female character). premieres tonight at 11PM ET/PT on G4."

went to one of the rapidly proliferating jamba juices today for the first time. pretty good smoothie and as far as i could tell, everything was fresh (as opposed to some sort of syrup but possibly frozen) but their veggie juices are almost nonexistent. the only vegetable they had were carrots. oddly they also had wheatgrass. otherwise everything was fruit-based. the boosts are a nice touch.

found this electronics outlet through some price searching site. looks to be only a couple of blocks away. i doubt its a user friendly store but looks better than wholesale liquidators on broadway.

for mark

we ate awesome octopus in fried dough (aka arepa) in a fish market (shack) which is only open on weekends when the locals head to the beaches. buy beer from the small bar two doors down and grab some stools at the counter facing the water. great water views. it’s on route 987 near the marina on the way to seven seas/las croabas beach.

possibly the best chicken we ever had we bought from a man on the side of the road near our house. wow. lots of roadside pig and chicken being cooked, but again only weekends.

in fajardo, we had one *amazing* meal of fresh yellowtail snapper for lunch, but another meal there was just ok. they’re closed wednesdays and our best meal there was lunch on a thursday. maybe they spend wednesdays fishing?

in luquillo, we had a lot of fun on a friday night at victor’s place, right on the town square. some locals making music at the bar, great bartender, she makes a good rum drink. the food was mostly very good, some just ok. get the conch asopao (sort of like gumbo, traditional pr dish).

avoid sandy’s at all costs, which for some bizarre reason is supposedly the most popular luquillo restaurant. OUCH.

one place we wanted to get to but by the time we found out about it ryley was fairly burnt out on restaurants was in the mountains. supposedly pre-9/11 they used to get a lot of people flying in on heliocopter to eat the locally grown produce and meats. closed mon/tues. the views are supposed to be some of the finest as its in a mountain park. name is La Piedra in Aibonito, 1+ hour south of San Juan

another place that gave a good vibe going south on the east coast is truilo’s seafood in the area of punta santiago. heavy garlic but very classic and full of locals. we read about this too late to go but i bet its yummy, and the drive is fun and "local", pigs served roadside on that road

As for San Juan food, we dont know, I would just Google arround, lots of new places some I bet are good, some I bet are not, cant help...

peace
