You pause, listen - then, sure you heard something, go digging for your cell phone to take the call. Except there isn't one. And you've just experienced Ringxiety. A new study by Alliant International University found that two thirds of people report hearing their phone ring or feeling it vibrate when it had not actually rung at all. And the more frequently they used their phone, the more often they reported a &quot;phantom ring.&quot;</font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana">Oddly enough, the participants of the study who <em>did</em> report the phantom ring had higher monthly charges, used more minutes, and sent more text messages. Maybe they were trying to track down that phantom caller.</font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana">The participants in the study ranged from ages 18 to 86. Eighty-six?!

It was an incident in a small town that turned into a racial firestorm, and got media coverage left, right and center - it's even on <a href="http://www.snopes.com" target="_blank">Snopes</a>, for heaven's sakes. One morning last fall, three white students hung nooses from a big oak tree at Jena High. Hanging nooses on the tree were a well-known racial slur at the central Louisiana school.</font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana">Marcus Jones, who is the father of one of the students accused of putting the ropes up, was actually quoted as saying, &quot;Nooses that be hung in the tree mean that somebody is fixin' to die.&quot;</font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana">So, a few months later, six black students found one of the kids they believed to be involved, and allegedly punched and kicked him. He was bruised, but not seriously injured. Mychal Bell, 17, a football player at the school with good grades, was the first one of them to go on trial, and in June, he was found guilty by an all white jury of aggravated second degree battery and conspiracy to commit the same. (This is the story, by the way, that Ja Rule was all <a href="http://www.connietalk.com/JaRule123.html" target="_blank">worked up</a> about this week.) The actual charges by the District Attorney were attempted <em>murder</em> and conspiracy. The kids who hung the nooses were charged with nothing. </font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana">Things are looking up now, though. The school board says they wish they could go back and change how they reacted to things. Civil rights groups put together a legal fund for the kids involved. Rev. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are holding a huge rally in Jena next week in support of them. The oak tree has been cut down. And late yesterday, a Louisiana appeals court overturned Mychal Bell's conviction, saying that the teenager should not have been tried as an adult.</font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana">&quot;The people of Jena and the state of Louisiana must live together far beyond any kind of political showdown,&quot; Rev. Jesse Jackson told the Associated Press. &quot;In some sense, this is a test of the Christian spirit rather than political muscle. And I would urge all involved to see the value of getting ahead, not just getting even.&quot; </font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana"><img src="http://www.connietalk.com/difference.jpg" width="293" height="31"></font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana">1. You can sign the Jena 6 petition to the Governor and the District Attorney <a href="http://www.colorofchange.org/jena/" target="_blank">here</a>. </font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana">2. The District Attorney in the case said that he is planning to appeal, so Mychal Bell, as well as the other 5 students accused, still need assistance with their legal bills. Donations to the &quot;Jena 6&quot; fund, the group of six teens that are being tried for the school fight, can be made to: Jena 6 Defense Fund, P.O. Box 2798, Jena, LA 71342. It is a defense fund set up by the parents of the six defendants.</font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana">3.
