World news in brief, 10/20
Police try to block presidential revote
MALE — The Maldives sank further into political disarray Saturday when police blocked officials from conducting a presidential revote, saying that holding the election would violate a Supreme Court order.
It's the latest blow to this young Indian Ocean democracy. The current president's term ends in about three weeks, and if his replacement is not elected by then it will spark a constitutional crisis.
President Mohamed Waheed Hassan stepped in to resolve the impasse Saturday evening, saying he would propose that the revote be held Oct. 26. He was to meet later Saturday with the elections commissioner and the candidates to discuss his proposal.
The top court annulled the results of the Sept. 7 presidential election, agreeing with a losing candidate that the voters' registry included fictitious names and dead people. The court set conditions for a revote that police said elections officials did not meet.
Authorities fear worsening wildfires
SYDNEY — Firefighters battling some of the most destructive wildfires to ever strike Australia's most populous state were bracing Saturday for worsening conditions, with higher temperatures and winds expected to intensify the danger in the coming days.
In the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, one of the worst-hit regions in fire-ravaged New South Wales state, homes have been destroyed and another 109 damaged by the fire storm that peaked Thursday, the Rural Fire Service said.
The damage toll announced Saturday was more than double the count from the previous day and was expected to continue to rise as assessment teams and police move deeper into the destruction zone in search of survivors and victims. Homes have been reported destroyed in other regions, but numbers were not yet available.
With 68 fires still burning — 22 of them out of control — and dangerous weather conditions forecast through Thursday, authorities were expecting the worst.
Car bomb strikes military compound
EL-ARISH — A car bomb exploded Saturday near an Egyptian military intelligence compound in the Suez Canal city of Ismailia, wounding six soldiers, security officials said, as militants appear to be expanding the scope of their attacks.
The blast in Ismailia came as some returned to work after the major Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. Security officials said part of the compound's wall collapsed and a nearby commercial building, belonging to the Suez Canal Authority, was damaged. Soldiers sealed off the area as authorities began an investigation into the blast.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to brief journalists.
Ismailia borders the restive Sinai Peninsula, where the military is on the offensive against insurgents there.
In recent weeks, militants have taken their fight against the security forces beyond northern Sinai, carrying out bombings in the Suez Canal area and even in the Egyptian capital.

They're actually quite accurate little cameras if you can work within their limitations...but since they have no light leaks or full plastic construction, I suppose some people would feel fit to dismiss them as not worthy of toy camera status. I guess like the people who'd laugh at you when I bring playing cards to school instead of the latest trading cards Just take photos, if anyone complains it's their problem.

Proposed FCC rule change blurs Internet/Cable TV lines
The FCC might be a slow-moving agency, like any in Government, but they're oddly in-tune with what consumers want (most of the time). A new proposal by FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler would give many TV addicts exactly what they want, giving Internet TV providers the same footing as legacy Cable TV providers. If passed, the new rules would make it impossible for a broadcaster to refuse to allow an Internet TV provider the right to carry their service specifically because they weren't a cable provider.

South-up map orientation
South-up map orientation places the labeling on a map so that south is up, north is down, east is left and west is right. Thus the Southern Hemisphere appears at the top of the map instead of the usual bottom. Maps in this orientation are sometimes called upside down maps or reversed maps.
Because orienting north toward the top is a matter of convention rather than correctness, a south-up map is technically just as correct as north-up. Such maps have been made in several cultures and time periods, as have other orientations. The convention of orienting north to the top (and thus east to the right) was probably established by the astronomer Ptolemy.[citation needed] In modern times, south-up maps are made as a learning device or to illustrate Northern Hemisphere bias. Beyond just turning a north-up map upside down, a south-up map has the text oriented to be read with south up. South-up maps often have Indonesia placed in the center while Europe and the Americas are placed to the sides, although there are south-up maps centered on the Prime Meridian.[1]
Any orientation can be achieved trivially. There are many other maps with non-standard orientation, such as medieval T and O maps, polar maps, and Dymaxion maps.
Psychological significance[edit]
A map's orientation is a trivial technical matter and therefore the cartographic literature barely discusses it. As a psychological matter, however, at least one study suggests that the prevailing north-up convention has influenced people to think of north as "good" and south as "bad".[2]
In popular culture[edit]
|This article appears to contain trivial, minor, or unrelated references to popular culture. (November 2015)
The famous "Blue Marble" photograph of the Earth taken from on board Apollo 17 was originally oriented with the south pole at the top, with the island of Madagascar visible just left of center, and the continent of Africa at its right. However, the image was rotated to fit the traditional view.[3]
Uruguayan constructivist artist Joaquín Torres García created several works depicting a map of South America with the southern point at the top.
South-up maps are commonly available as novelties or sociopolitical statements in southern hemisphere locales, particularly Australia.[4]
A south-up Peters map was featured in the American television show The West Wing (season 2, episode 16). The set of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore features a south-up map of the globe behind Wilmore's desk.
In his book The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins references the south-up map as a way to raise consciousness of biases that are taught in the classroom.
The Wizard of New Zealand is known for advocating a south-up map, also having produced one using the Hobo–Dyer projection which placed New Zealand and Australia top-centre.[5]

Beauty Flashback: Sweet Secrets
by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
In the '80s, Transformers and Go-Bots were king. I loved playing with those toys, shifting them from one thing to the other. But toy companies must have thought that girls wouldn't want to play with race-car robots. So instead, we were offered toys like Sweet Secrets, a collection of kiddy grooming products that turned into dolls. Check this old commercial, which features an oppressive brother who, inexplicably leaves and returns with the world's longest mullet.

The availability and cost of energy resources are top of mind with Buildings readers
By Linda Monroe
Linda Monroe
A survey taken by Buildings subscribers identified 10 topics that were of most interest. Look for the "Top 10 Topic" icon to identify feature stories on these subjects.
To provide you with content that will help you make smarter decisions in your role as building ownership and facilities management professionals, the Buildings editorial staff makes a concerted effort to take the pulse of the industry via in-person visits, phone and e-mail interviews and conversations with a variety of resources, industry-wide research and events, and reader surveys (both formal and anecdotal). In our latest formal editorial survey, you told us that your No. 1 topic - the one you want to know most about - is energy management. (See the list of your Top 10 Topics) And, let's be honest: Much of that interest boils down to lowering operational costs.
But, the consumption of energy is a hot topic. As you read this, it is being (and will continue to be) hotly debated amongst suppliers, users, and special-interest groups. Candidates in this Election Year are using scare tactics about energy availability to manipulate the media and public; yet, they support an entourage of personnel and all the trappings in their coast-to-coast campaigns. Your children march in support of their favorites, waving "Save the Planet" banners, and then come home and take 30-minute showers, keep lights ablaze all night long, and cruise indefinitely in their automobiles. Employees show company loyalty by working around the clock - losing sleep, but expending even more electricity, water, and HVAC-system usage. If energy is clearly a necessity of life, what is energy management?
Consider the following words of the National Park Service (a subset of the U.S. Department of the Interior) - particularly if you're looking for a professional and personal rationale that goes beyond mere cost savings:
"Most 'modern' architecture, transportation, and food production was created upon, and is dependent on, the assumption that using fossil fuels for energy is economical and that their supply is inexhaustible. Few people are aware of the true costs associated with the overuse of fossil fuels: Mining that displaces habitats, forest cover, and farmland; oil spills that foul beaches, marine environments, and groundwater; and air pollution that reduces the chances for species survival are difficult to associate with flipping on a light switch, running an air-conditioner, or driving a car.
"In reality, unchecked consumption of the finite fossil-fuel reserves drives more and more exploration and extraction at a higher economic cost, and displaces more and more natural resources at a higher environmental cost. A compounding reality is that generating energy by burning coal, oil, and natural gas is a major source of atmospheric contamination responsible for global warming and climate change, acid rain, and smog. The resulting impact damages water bodies and groundwater, soils, crops, wildlife and wildlife habitat, building materials, and mankind's personal health. The combined effect is the inability to sustain life.
"Thus, the true cost of using fossil fuels for highly consumptive energy needs is not just the price humans pay ... it is also the price the environment pays."

Just-Wed Reese Witherspoon Cracks Up at Dinner With Chelsea Handler
No word on whether Reese Witherspoon had a bachelorette party before wedding Jim Toth last weekend -- but she probably got plenty of raunchy laughs over dinner on Thursday with pal Chelsea Handler!
On Thursday, the just-married actress and her comedienne pal, both 35, hit Tavern, a fave eatery near Witherspoon's home in L.A.'s Brentwood neighborhood. (Hours earlier, Witherspoon flashed her wedding band for the first time.)
PHOTOS: Reese, Jim and her kids -- happy family!
"Reese comes in here almost once a week," a Tavern eyewitness tells UsMagazine.com. "She's just always in a happy mood and is never anything but pleasant to the staff." Her go-to dish: the halibut.
The pair arrived together -- with Handler in the driver's seat -- and took a table in the restaurant's back room.
PHOTOS: How Reese and Jim fell in love
Says another observer of their meal, "They were smiling alot and talking nonstop" during an extended catch-up session. The gal pals munched on fish, fresh vegetables and sipped vodka gimlets.
"They really kept to themselves," the observer says. "They seemed to be really enjoying their time together, dishing and laughing."
No wonder the Water for Elephants star is in such a good mood: Her March 26 nuptials at her Ojai, Calif. ranch proved to be a picture-perfect affair with tons of A-list guests and elegant, personal touches.
PHOTOS: Most over-the-top celebrity weddings ever
Second-time bride Witherspoon wore a strapless, pale-pink Monique Lhuillier gown and satin Jimmy Choo platform sandals as she walked down the aisle to wed CAA agent Toth, 40. Befitting the couple's Southern roots, a bluegrass band played throughout the ceremony, which took place beneath a canopy in the courtyard in front of the Ojai house.
150 guests were on hand for the emotional event -- including Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, Kate Hudson, Sean Penn, Scarlett Johansson, Renee Zellweger, Tobey Maguire and wife Jennifer Meyer, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew McConaughey and love Camila Alves, Alyssa Milano, Colin Hanks, Isla Fisher and hubby Sacha Baron Cohen.
PHOTOS: Did you know these celebs were pals?
"Reese and Jim were beaming all night," a guest tells the new issue of Us Weekly of the farm style chic affair, which featured a s'mores lounge, a wood-plank dance floor and gift bags with Ojai honey and pecan scones.

Hello all.
Im christina 22 yrs old. feel im too young to be having such severe back pain...I recently found out the possible source of all this pain, is from my x-ray and mri that i have an extra disc in my spine...after the l-5 there is a l-6. strange i know.
i have had this pain for over a year now, and they say its a little disc disease, sciatica, and unusual anatomy of my spine..
I have tried all the drugs under the sun, to find that anti imflammatory drugs DONT WORK. muscle relaxers DONT WORK. pain killers DONT WORK.
So a couple days ago, I went in for a steroid injection shot.
It was I belive a lateral. Which means i think that it was done on either side of my lower spine.
Im sure some of you have had these, so i dont need to say how horrible it hurts once they find that painful area they need to inject the medicine into. OUCH.damn
My question is :
Tomorrow will be day 3 sinse the shot, and I am yet to feel any sort of relief ...If anything, I feel it may be getting worse. If any of you have had this, when did you get relief...?
The docs werent so clear on what the hell exactly to expect...gotta love that.
but they told me some people it could take up to 5 DAYS to feel any benefit of the shot..
Any input on that?
I would appreciate alot!
Hello all.

McChrystal: More US Troops Needed in Afghanistan
The top US and NATO commander in Afghanistan has told Pentagon officials that the war in Afghanistan will likely result in failure unless more troops are sent to fight. In a confidential assessment of the war, Gen. Stanley McChrystal writes, "Failure to gain the initiative and reverse insurgent momentum in the near term...risks an outcome where defeating the insurgency is no longer possible." The Washington Post reports McChrystal's assessment was sent to Defense Secretary Robert Gates on August 30 and is now being reviewed by President Obama and his national security team. On Sunday, President Obama said he remains skeptical about the need for more US troops in Afghanistan.
President Obama: "Until I'm satisfied that we've got the right strategy, I'm not going to be sending some young man or woman over there, beyond what we already have. I'm not interested in just being in Afghanistan for the sake of being in Afghanistan or saving face or, in some way, you know, sending a message that America is here for the duration."
President Obama speaking on NBC's Meet the Press in one of five network interviews that aired on Sunday.
CIA Expands Presence in Afghanistan
While the Pentagon is considering a further escalation of the war, the Los Angeles Times reports the CIA is deploying teams of spies, analysts and paramilitary operatives to Afghanistan as part of a broad intelligence "surge." When complete, the CIA's presence in Afghanistan is expected to rival the size of its massive stations in Iraq and Vietnam at the height of those wars.
Ex-CIA Chiefs Calls for Torture Probe to Be Dropped
President Obama said Sunday he will not interfere with Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to launch a Justice Department probe into the torture of prisoners during the Bush administration. Obama's comments came in response to a letter from seven former CIA chiefs calling for the probe to be dropped. They claimed the investigation would inhibit intelligence operations in the future and demoralize agency employees. President Obama addressed the controversy during an interview with Bob Schieffer on CBS's Face the Nation.
President Obama: "Well, first of all, I have the utmost respect for the CIA. I have said consistently that I want to look forward and not backward, when it comes to some of the problems that occurred under the previous administration or when it came to interrogations. I don't want witch hunts taking place. I've also said, though, that the Attorney General has a job to uphold the law."
Bob Schieffer: "So you intend to let him go forward?"
Obama: "He's got to make a judgment in terms of what has occurred."
Obama to Meet with Netanyahu and Abbas
The White House has announced President Obama will hold a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in New York on Tuesday. The meeting was scheduled after US special envoy George Mitchell left Israel with no deal on a resumption of peace talks in the region. Talks have been stalled since Israel invaded the Gaza Strip last December.

UN Body Urges Israel to Allow Nuclear Inspections
Overriding Western objections, a United Nations nuclear conference passed a resolution Friday directly criticizing Israel and its secret nuclear weapons arsenal. The UN body voted to urge Israel to accede to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and place all Israeli nuclear sites under UN inspections. The resolution cited "concern about the threat posed by the proliferation of nuclear weapons for the security and stability of the Middle East." Israeli delegate David Danieli denounced the vote as "openly hostile to the state of Israel" and accused Iran and Syria of "creating a diplomatic smoke screen" to cover up their "pursuit of nuclear weapons."
David Danieli: "The delegation of Israel deplores this resolution, which serves no purpose of the IAEA and its general conference. The state of Israel will not cooperate in any matter with this resolution, which is only aiming at reinforcing political hostilities and division lines in the Middle East region."
Iranian delegate Ali Asghar Soltanieh praised the UN vote.
Ali Asghar Soltanieh: "This is a very good news and a triumph of the oppressed nation of Palestine, that their voice was heard in the international community, in the IAEA, and action was made to let them know that they are not left alone, homeless, bombarded by Israelis, and being deprived from any basic rights."
The UN meeting also adopted a resolution last week calling for a Mideast free of nuclear weapons in a near-consensus vote. Israel was the only nation to vote against the measure.
Somali Militant Calls for Attacks on AU Forces
A top militant leader in Somalia has called for more suicide attacks against African Union peacekeepers in the country. On Thursday, twenty-one people, including seventeen African Union troops, died in Mogadishu in a twin car bomb attack. It was the deadliest strike on AU forces since their deployment in Somalia in 2007.
Three Arrested in Terror Probe for Making False Statements
Two Colorado men and a New York imam are due in court today after being arrested for making false statements to federal agents in an ongoing terror probe. On Saturday, federal agents arrested twenty-four-year-old Najibullah Zazi and his father in Colorado. Authorities claim Zazi had been trained in weapons and explosives in Pakistan and had made nine pages of handwritten notes on how to make and handle bombs. But authorities have not uncovered any evidence Zazi was planning to stage an attack. Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations criticized the government's handling of the case. Hooper said, "It heightens our concerns about the case because you would expect that if the government's allegations were based on strong evidence, that there would be charges brought based on terror-related evidence, not making false statements."
FCC to Propose Net Neutrality Rules
The Federal Communications Commission is expected to propose rules today that would bar internet service providers from blocking or hobbling online services in any fashion. FCC Chair Julius Genachowski will lay out his plan for net neutrality in a speech today at the Brookings Institution. The proposal would prohibit AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and other broadband providers from slowing or blocking services or content, such as TV shows, over the internet.

The protest had been heavily promoted by Fox News, especially by anchor Glenn Beck.
UN: Human Rights Defenders Subjected to Abuse in Colombia
A top United Nations official says human rights defenders are still the subject of widespread abuses in Colombia. UN special rapporteur Margaret Sekaggya said human rights defenders are arbitrarily arrested and detained, sometimes on a massive scale, while high-level government officials often stigmatize them, saying they are colluding with "terrorists" or "guerrillas."
Margaret Sekaggya: "Journalists, trade unions, magistrates, lawyers, students and youth activists, women defenders, indigenous and Afro-Colombian leaders, the LGBT activists have been killed, tortured, ill-treated, disappeared, threatened, arbitrarily arrested and detained."

On the night of Oct. 20, 2014, Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old African-American teenager in Chicago, was walking down the street when two police cruisers sped up to him. Officers jumped out, and at least one of them, Jason Van Dyke, began firing. Laquan fell to the ground, his final, painful moments caught on the dashboard video camera of a third police vehicle that had arrived just seconds before. Laquan spun as he was shot. Two bullets hit him in the back. As the video clearly shows, the bullets were pumped into him, evidenced by clouds of dust exploding off the pavement. This week, on the day the video was released to the public by court order, Officer Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder — 400 days after he killed Laquan McDonald.

DA 12-154complained of poor call quality, as well as of calls that ring for a prolonged period for the caller but that
do not ring, or ring on an extremely delayed basis, on the receiving end.5 These problems can have dire
consequences: Small businesses can lose customers who get frustrated when their calls don't go through.
Urgent long distance calls from friends or family can be missed. Schools may be unable to reach parents
with critical alerts, including school closings due to extreme weather. And those in need of help may be
unable to reach public safety officials.6
In this Order, we remind carriers of the Commission's longstanding prohibition on
carriers blocking, choking, reducing or otherwise restricting traffic.7 Furthermore, we clarify that this
prohibition extends to the routing practices described in greater detail below that have the effect of
blocking, choking, reducing, or otherwise restricting traffic.
We also make clear that practices such as those described herein that lead to call
termination and call quality problems may constitute unjust and unreasonable practices in violation of
section 201 of Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"),8 and/or may violate a carrier's
section 202 duty to refrain from unjust or unreasonable discrimination in practices, facilities, or services.9
Finally, we emphasize that, under section 217 of the Act, carriers are responsible for the actions of their
agents or other persons acting for or employed by the carriers.10
In filings with the Commission11 and in presentations at the Commission's October 18,
2011, workshop on rural call routing and termination problems,12 several parties identify a number of
rural call completion issues, and ask the Commission to address them promptly. Trade associations that
represent rate-of-return carriers (collectively "rural associations") and several states describe the call
termination issues affecting rural areas as a serious, widespread problem and emphasize that when
businesses, consumers, and government officials are unable to receive calls, it compromises the integrity
and reliability of the PSTN and threatens the public safety, homeland security, consumer welfare, and
economic well-being in rural America.13 These parties assert that call termination problems continue to

the PSTN."15 As evidence of the problem, rural associations report that rate-of-return carriers serving
rural areas have received an alarming increase in complaints from their customers stating that long
distance calls and faxes are not reaching them or that call quality is poor.16 Indeed, these rural
associations state that 80% of rural carriers responding to one survey reported problems, and rural
subscriber reports of problems receiving calls increased by over 2000 percent in the twelve-month period
from April 2010 to March 2011.17
Consumers report significant problems when attempting to place calls to rural areas
through their long distance providers, including excessive call setup delay and calls that fail to connect.
In some cases, the caller reports hearing prolonged ringing either before the called phone has actually
been rung or when the called phone is never actually rung at all, causing the caller to think that no one is
at the called location.18 In other cases where calls to rural customers are delayed or fail to connect, rural
carriers state that calls have failed to route properly and instead loop between providers, routing back to a
provider that previously handed off the same call to another provider for completion.19 Carriers report
that, at other times, calling parties receive false or misleading intercept messages that falsely indicate, for
example, that the call cannot be completed as dialed.20 We take these reports very seriously, given the
longstanding obligations of telephone carriers, and the significant economic and public safety concerns
that these issues raise. We are particularly concerned about problems that may adversely affect the

in rural America.
Call completion problems appear to be occurring particularly in rural areas served by
rate-of-return carriers where the costs that long distance providers incur to complete calls are generally
higher than in non-rural areas. To minimize call termination charges, long distance providers often use
third-party "least-cost routers," which attempt to connect calls to their destination at the lowest cost
possible, usually within defined service parameters. Rural associations state that the call completion
problems appear to arise from how originating carriers choose to set up the signaling and routing of their
calls, and that many of these call routing and termination problems could lie with underlying routing
providers selected by carriers who offer retail long distance services.21
In response to these issues, NARUC has passed a resolution urging its state members and
the Commission to "take all appropriate actions to protect consumers by immediately addressing the call
terminating issues that exist."22 In addition, several state commissions recommend that the Commission
issue a declaratory order to address the rural call completion issue.23 The rural associations also request
that the Commission take action.24 NTCA specifically requests that the Commission issue a clear policy
statement affirming the legal obligation of retail interexchange carriers to address and resolve any call
routing and termination failures on their own networks and those of "downstream" routers involved in
any call flows.25
Previous Actions. The Commission has stated that carriers are prohibited from blocking,
choking, reducing or restricting traffic in any way, including to avoid termination charges. Noting that
the ubiquity and reliability of the nation's telecommunications network is of paramount importance to the
explicit goals of the Act, the Bureau issued a declaratory ruling in 2007 to clarify that no carriers,
including interexchange carriers, may block, choke, reduce or restrict traffic in any way.26 In September
2011, the Commission created the Rural Call Completion Task Force to address and investigate the
growing problem of calls to rural customers that are being delayed or failing to connect.27 On October 18,
2011, the Rural Call Completion Task Force held a workshop to identify specific causes of the problem
and discuss potential solutions with key stakeholders.28
In its recent Order reforming intercarrier compensation (ICC) and the Universal Service
Fund, the Commission again emphasized the importance of its longstanding prohibition on call

DA 12-154blocking.29 The Commission reiterated that call blocking has the potential to degrade the reliability of the
nation's telecommunications network and that call blocking ultimately harms the consumer.30 The
Commission also made clear that carriers are directly bound by the general prohibition on call blocking
with respect to VoIP-PSTN traffic, as with other traffic.31 In that same Order, the Commission adopted
rules that should ultimately address the root causes of many rural call completion problems.32 In
particular, in comprehensively reforming ICC, the Order adopted a bill-and-keep methodology for all ICC
traffic, and adopted a transition to gradually reduce most termination charges, which, at the end of the
transition, should eliminate the primary incentives for cost-saving practices that appear to be undermining
the reliability of telephone service.33 However, NARUC argues, and we agree, that there is a need to limit
the adverse impact of these rural call completion problems on consumers in the near term.34
Consistent with previous decisions, we make clear that practices resulting in the rural call
completion problems identified above adversely affect the ubiquity and reliability of the nation's
telecommunications network and threaten commerce, public safety, and the ability of consumers,
businesses, and public health and safety officials in rural America to access and use a reliable network.
For these reasons, we clarify that a carrier that knows or should know that calls are not being completed
to certain areas, and that engages in acts (or omissions) that allow or effectively allow these conditions to
persist, may be liable for a violation of section 201 of the Act. We also emphasize that it may be a
violation of section 202 to provide discriminatory service with respect to calls placed to rural areas.
Finally, we clarify that a carrier remains responsible for the provision of service to its customers even
when it contracts with another provider to carry the call to its destination.
Unjust or Unreasonable Practices. We clarify that it is an unjust and unreasonable
practice in violation of section 201 of the Act for a carrier that knows or should know that it is providing
degraded service to certain areas35 to fail to correct the problem or to fail to ensure that intermediate

30 ICC/USF Transformation Order at para. 734. In a January 5, 2012, FCC Blog post, the chiefs of the Wireline
Competition Bureau and Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau further addressed rural "call completion"
problems and described ways that the Commission has been working on this issue over the past few months. See
31 See ICC/USF Transformation Order at paras. 973-74.
32 See, e.g., ICC/USF Transformation Order at paras. 736-759. The Commission also adopted rules to address
"phantom traffic," i.e., calls for which identifying information is missing or masked in ways that frustrate
intercarrier billing. The lack of such basic information to accompany calls has also resulted in calls being delivered
without Caller ID, which is a common call quality complaint in rural areas. See supra note 17. The Commission
now requires telecommunications carriers and providers of interconnected VoIP service to include the calling
party's telephone number in all call signaling, and requires intermediate carriers to pass this signaling information,
unaltered, to the next provider in a call path. See ICC/USF Transformation Order at paras. 719-720; see also 47
C.F.R. § 64.1601(a).
33 The transition to a bill-and-keep methodology for most terminating charges is nine years for rate-of-return
carriers. See ICC/USF Transformation Order at para. 801 & Figure 9. See also 47 C.F.R. §§ 51.907, 51.909.
34 September 2011 NARUC Letter at 2.
35 This could include, inter alia, unreasonable delay to connect a call, as manifested by prolonged silence ("dead
air") and/or prolonged ringing in advance of the called phone being alerted. Prolonged ringing occurs when callers
are provided with prolonged audible ringing well before the called party's phone has even been alerted. This causes
a caller to hang up because they believe the called entity's phone rang and no one is available to answer. See, e.g.,
Fritz Hendricks, Onvoy Voice Service, "When a person calls a customer in a rural market the [caller's] phone will
ring 8 to 10 times before the end office of the ILEC is ever signaled – if it is signaled at all." and "[The caller] will

DA 12-154providers, least-cost routers, or other entities acting for or employed by the carrier are performing
adequately. This is particularly the case when the problems are brought to the carrier's attention by
customers, rate-of-return carriers serving rural areas, or others, and the carrier nevertheless fails to take
corrective action that is within its power. Carriers do have tools to manage termination suppliers, and it
would be unreasonable for a carrier not to make appropriate use of such tools to ensure calls that its
customers make to rural areas terminate reliably.36 We note that nothing in this Declaratory Ruling
should be construed to dictate how carriers must route their traffic. Even so, if carriers continue to hand
off calls to agents, intermediate providers, or others that a carrier knows are not completing a reasonable
percentage of calls or are otherwise restricting traffic (e.g., through impaired service quality), that is an
unjust or unreasonable practice prohibited by section 201 of the Act.37 Such failures compromise the
integrity and reliability of the PSTN and the effectiveness (and universality) of interconnected networks
by effectively blocking, choking, reducing, or otherwise restricting traffic to particular locations.38

36 For example, at the Commission's Rural Call Completion Workshop last October, AT&T's representative noted
that AT&T's contracts with its termination suppliers prohibit looping and require a vendor to return the call to
AT&T if it is not able to complete it and urged the adoption of industry best practices in this area. See AT&T
Presentation at FCC Rural Call Completion Workshop at 2, available at
http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-310507A1.pdf. At a hearing on this issue convened by the
Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC), Sprint's representative stated that Sprint regularly
reviews a wide range of call quality and call completion statistics across its underlying providers, including answer
seizure ratios, post-dial delay metrics, trouble ticket statistics and a wide variety of call quality metrics. See Least
Cost Routing – Sprint's Perspective, presented to the WUTC Workshop on Call Termination Issues held August 8,
2011, WUTC docket UT-110866, available at
penDocument. We point out these examples to demonstrate that carriers are able to monitor the performance of
providers with whom they contract to carry calls on their behalf, but we are neither mandating specific contracting
or management practices nor suggesting that such practices would absolve a carrier of liability for a failure
nonetheless to ensure that calls are being completed in a just and reasonable manner.
37 We note in this context that what constitutes an unreasonable number of calls failing to complete to rural areas
could be a relatively low percentage of calls being carried to all destinations by a particular carrier. In a test call
project of 2,150 test calls to rural exchanges in 22 states during the summer of 2011, approximately one in every
four calls (24%) was judged "unsuccessful;" two-thirds of those unsuccessful calls (16%) never even reached the
rural exchange; and the remaining unsuccessful calls were unacceptably delayed or of poor quality. Test results
were provided by originating provider and by provider type. See Letter from Jill Canfield, Director, Legal &
Industry, NTCA to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, WC Docket No. 07-135, CC Docket No. 01-92, & WC
Docket No. 11-39 attach. (filed Oct. 7, 2011) ("NECA Test Call Project – Summer 2011: Summary of Call
Completion & Call Quality Results").
38 NTCA argues that, when a carrier knows, or should know, of these problems, its "failure to correct these problems
or to work in good faith with the called party's carrier is tantamount to the blocking of calls." September 2011
NTCA Letter at 3. NECA, NTCA, OPASTCO, and Western Telecommunications Alliance argue that the failure to
take steps to ensure completion of calls that a carrier's customers have contracted for the carrier to complete is an
unjust and unreasonable practice, as is the failure to respond meaningfully to repeated concerns raised by another
carrier about failures in interconnection. June 2011 NECA, et al. Letter at 5.
Federal Communications Commission
False and misleading information. We further clarify that some provider practices in
connection with the routing practices discussed above may separately violate section 201(b). We
understand that when a call fails to terminate in a rural exchange, the caller may hear an intercept
message indicating that the call cannot be completed because the number is out of service or not
reachable – when in fact the number is in service and is reachable.39 One impact of supplying false out-
of-service messages is to shift the perceived responsibility for call failure – from the viewpoint of the
caller – from the originating provider to the terminating rural provider, which may frustrate consumers
and make it more difficult to trace and correct problems.40 As discussed above, section 201(b) prohibits
unjust and unreasonable practices in connection with interstate communications services. The
Commission has found that practices by common carriers that deceive or mislead customers are unjust
and unreasonable practices under section 201(b).41 It is a deceptive or misleading practice, and therefore
unjust and unreasonable under section 201(b), to inform a caller that a number is not reachable or is out of
service when the number is, in fact, reachable and in service.42
Unjust or Unreasonable Discrimination in Service Provision and Failure to Ensure
Services are Usable by and Accessible to Individuals with Disabilities. Section 202 of the Act states that:
It shall be unlawful for any common carrier to make any unjust or
unreasonable discrimination in charges, practices, classifications,
regulations, facilities, or services for or in connection with like
communication service, directly or indirectly, by any means or device, or
to make or give any undue or unreasonable preference or advantage to
any particular person, class of persons, or locality, or to subject any
particular person, class of persons, or locality to any undue or
unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage.43
We further clarify that adopting or perpetuating routing practices that result in lower quality service to
rural or high-cost localities than like service to urban or lower cost localities (including other lower cost
39 See, e.g., June 2011 NECA, et al. Letter at 1,3 (stating that rural customers report that parties attempting to call
them apparently receive misleading or patently false "intercept" messages about how the rural local exchange carrier
(RLEC) is refusing to interconnect to receive calls when in fact the call never reached the RLEC's end office or
even the tandem it subtends); September 2011 NTCA Letter at 1 (noting that calling parties receive incorrect or
misleading message interceptions before the call ever reaches the RLEC or the tandem it subtends); September 2011
NARUC Letter at 4.
40 See Letter from Montana Senator Terry Murray, Chairman, Legislative Consumer Committee, and Commissioner
Travis Kavulla, Chairman, Montana Public Service Commission, to Hon. Julius Genachowski, Chairman, FCC, at 3
(filed September 29, 2011) (noting that it is "understandably frustrating" for the rural carriers when they are blamed
for the failure of a call to terminate, "since, if the call is not routed to them in the first place, the call cannot be
completed"); see also Fritz Hendricks, Onvoy Voice Service, "The originating carrier is not owning the service
responsibility to deliver to the consumer that purchased it from them. Rather, and worse yet, we've found that the
originating carrier is deflecting the responsibility for the service quality to a rural carrier that has not even been
called in the troubleshooting process to help identify what went wrong on a particular call the customer called them
about – and it vilifies the LEC." Rural Call Termination Workshop video at 12:15, viewable at

42 Aside from being untruthful, such a statement may also have harmful consequences. For instance, when callers to
a business hear a message that a number is not reachable or is out of service, they might reasonably conclude that
the business is no longer in operation, leading to lost revenues for the business. See, e.g., September 2011 NTCA
Letter at 3 (recounting a rural telephone subscriber complaint from "a small enterprise that lost tens of thousands of
dollars of business when customers were unable to reach it").
Federal Communications Commission
DA 12-154rural areas) may, in the absence of a persuasive explanation, constitute unjust or unreasonable
discrimination in practices, facilities, or services and violate section 202 of the Act. Although there may
be valid reasons for discrepancies in performance, such discrepancies would be subject to examination to
determine whether they are unjustly or unreasonably discriminatory.44 Service problems could be
particularly problematic for TTY and amplified telephones used by persons with hearing disabilities.
Carriers that fail to ensure that services are usable by and accessible to individuals with disabilities may
be in violation of section 255 of the Act.45 Accordingly, practices that result in disparate quality of
service delivered to rural areas could be found unlawful under sections 202 and 255 of the Act.46
Role of Agents. Section 217 of the Act states that a carrier is liable for the acts,
omissions, or failures of its agent or other person acting for or employed by the carrier.47 Therefore, if an
underlying provider is blocking, choking, or otherwise restricting traffic, employing other unjust or
unreasonable practices in violation of section 201, engaging in unjust or unreasonable discrimination in
violation of section 202, or otherwise not complying with the Act or Commission rules, the carrier using
that underlying provider to deliver traffic is liable for those actions if the underlying provider is an agent
or other person acting for or employed by the carrier.48
Enforcement. If a carrier engages in any of the prohibited activities described above, the
Commission can take appropriate enforcement action pursuant to the remedies available under statutory
44 NTCA argues that consumers in rural communities deserve at least the same level of network reliability as urban
consumers. See September 2011 NTCA Letter at 2. Unsound routing practices are also contrary to the universal
service principle of access in rural and high cost areas set forth in section 254(b)(3) of the Act. 47 U.S.C.
§ 254(b)(3) ("Consumers in all regions of the Nation, including low-income consumers and those in rural, insular,
and high cost areas, should have access to telecommunications and information services, including interexchange
services and advanced telecommunications and information services, that are reasonably comparable to those
services provided in urban areas and that are available at rates that are reasonably comparable to rates charged for
similar services in urban areas.").
45 47 U.S.C. § 255(c) ("A provider of telecommunications service shall ensure that the service is accessible to and
usable by individuals with disabilities, if readily achievable.").
46 Additionally, each telecommunications carrier has the duty to interconnect directly or indirectly with the facilities
and equipment of other telecommunications carriers and "not to install network features, functions, or capabilities"
that do not comply with the guidelines and standards established pursuant to section 256 of the Act. 47 U.S.C.
§ 251(a). One purpose of section 256 of the Act is to ensure the ability of users and information providers to
seamlessly and transparently transmit and receive information between and across telecommunications networks.
47 U.S.C. § 256(a)(2).
47 47 U.S.C. § 217 ("[T]he act, omission, or failure of any officer, agent, or other person acting for or employed by
any common carrier or user, acting within the scope of his employment, shall in every case be also deemed to be the
act, omission, or failure of such carrier or user as well as that of the person."). See also Silv Communication, Inc.,
Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 25 FCC Rcd 5178, 5180-82, 5185 (2010) (holding a carrier responsible
for the failures of its telemarketers and third party verification companies to obtain proper authorization and
verification for changes made to consumers' primary carriers pursuant to section 217 of the Act; also finding willful
and repeated violations of sections 258 and 201(b) of the Communications Act where the carrier apparently changed
the preferred carrier of consumers without proper authorization, failed to follow Commission rules with respect to
the third party verifications, and engaged in unjust and unreasonable marketing practices); Eure Family Limited

48 NTCA asserts that retail interexchange carriers have committed to deliver calls for their customers and they are in
the best position to police the conduct of those to whom they hand calls for routing and termination, and to require
that those providers in turn do the same with respect to any subsequent hand-off of calls. September 2011 NTCA

As development coordinator for the Crisis Center of Johnson County, I would like to thank the donors, players and friends who attended the center's inaugural "Spell an End to Hunger" Scrabble fundraiser July 18.
The Kirkwood Room was the main sponsor and provided us with a beautiful venue for a cool and comfortable evening of playing Scrabble with friends new and old. Door prizes were donated by Jimmy Jacks Rib Shack, Leash on Life and the Crisis Center.
Each participant donated $10 to play Scrabble - which will buy 600 pounds of food for our food bank. This was a great way for people to support Thanksgiving in July.
We look forward to future Scrabble events and appreciate the generous support of our Sponsors, Board Members, Staff, Intern and Scrabble players.

I'd at least rent it first. God of War 3 is an established franchise that doesn't disappoint, so it's a no-brainer there. DI might be OK, but it doesn't seem as polished gameplay wise. I rarely ever buy new IPs, but I do rent them. The most recent new IP that I bought day-one without renting first was Uncharted: Drake's Fortune because the demo was amazing (same with God of War).

Geez this game isn't out yet? Thought it was released months ago. Anyhow, I have to say that from the trailer the game looks pretty good; will have to give it a try.
Also has anyone noticed Sony stepping it up a little? First, Battlefield Bad Company 2's demo was released exclusively 2 weeks prior to Xbox and now DI.

About a minute later, Steiner told the lawyers to remain in the courtroom and retreated alone to his chambers. When he returned, he solemnly declared that questions about his potential personal biases are "a growing issue" in the case.
"It's not a question of what I think might be the issue," the judge said. "It's a question of what a reasonable person might think. . . . I would never shirk my constitutional obligation, but I think this needs to happen." He then recused himself.
(Another judge working with a special master later gave prosecutors most of the records they sought; no charges have been filed against Lanzillo or Impola—both former cops—though the case remains open.)
In late February, four months after Castillo's revelation, Chapman officials notified the DA's office that one of its students—not the same woman identified by Castillo—claimed to have had a lengthy, quid pro quo sexual affair with Steiner, who helped to land her a prosecutor's job within the past year. The job didn't last, and feelings were hurt.
Susan Kang Schroeder, Rackauckas' chief of staff and a close friend of Steiner's, said the DA's office immediately alerted the California Attorney General's office of the news from Chapman and recused the office from the case. University officials decline to comment on the record. Sheriff Sandra Hutchens personally endorsed Steiner's judge candidacy; her deputies are investigating his conduct. Supervisor Todd Spitzer, himself a former Steiner colleague, said he expects a "thorough" probe.
According to sources, the complaining woman—whose identity the Weekly is not revealing at this point—asserted she can describe the judge's penis in detail, as well as an alleged favored location for sex: on the carpeted floor inside the judge's chamber. Apparently, the sofa squeaked too much.
I've been told investigators want to know if judicial ethics may have been violated if the judge and his alleged prosecutor-cum-sex-partner conducted court business without opposing defense lawyers knowing of the intimacy—and how many other female lawyers or government employees might be involved in shenanigans.
Steiner, who has been transferred to more trivial cases in the Fullerton courthouse, hasn't responded to reporter inquiries. Though no charges have been filed against him, he has retained stern-faced, veteran Costa Mesa criminal defense lawyer Paul S. Meyer.
Meyer, you may recall, represented another OC conservative activist who once worked in the DA's office, became a close aide to Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, and is now a convicted child molester who targeted sex with seventh- and eighth-grade boys: disbarred attorney Jeffrey Ray Nielsen.
[Note: The Weekly first broke news of the Steiner investigation on our Navel Gazing news blog on March 6, 2013; This current column appeared in the paper's online edition on March 27.]

Amazon and Hachette battle ends amicably with e-book sales deal
11/13, 12:14pm
Hachette allowed to set e-book pricing for all its titles on Amazon storefront
The long-running and rancorous dispute between publisher Hachette and Amazon seems to be over. Both companies have announced that a deal has been struck, with Hachette being able to set prices on the e-books that it sells. Other specific terms of the deal have not yet been made public, and will not likely ever face public scrutiny outside the publishing industry.
