Spiro T. Agnew, Ex-Vice President, Dies at 77
Published: September 18, 1996
Spiro T. Agnew, who was forced to resign as the 39th Vice President of the United States in 1973 when he pleaded no contest to a charge of income-tax evasion, died yesterday in Berlin, Md. He was 77 years old.
John Ullrich, the owner of Ullrich Funeral Home in Berlin, Md., said Mr. Agnew died at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin. A spokeswoman for Atlantic General Hospital would provide no details about his death.
Mr. Agnew, a Greek immigrant's son whose rise to high office had seemed to be a reassuring affirmation of the American dream, was nearly unknown outside his native state of Maryland when Richard M. Nixon chose him as a running mate in 1968. And Mr. Agnew might have been as little remembered as most Vice Presidents without the notoriety of his enforced departure.
Mr. Agnew's political experience, before he won the Vice Presidency, included three years as an appointed member of the local zoning appeals board in Baltimore County; four years as Executive, the equivalent of mayor, of that suburban county, and less than two years as Governor of Maryland.
Mr. Nixon, well aware of the surprise his choice occasioned, heartily defended his choice at the time, saying of Mr. Agnew: ''He has real depth and genuine warmth. I was deeply impressed by his tremendous brain power, great courage and an unprejudiced legal mind. He has vigor, imagination and above all, he acts. He has the attributes of a statesman of the first rank.'' Nevertheless, one widespread response to Mr. Nixon's choice was, ''Spiro who?''
The nine-week election campaign did little to polish Mr. Agnew's image, marked as it was by a series of gaffes. He spoke of ''Polacks,'' and of a ''fat Jap''; he accused Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, the Democratic candidate, of being ''soft on Communism,'' a comment that drew rebukes even from fellow Republicans. Although billed as the Nixon camp's urban expert, Mr. Agnew disdained visits to ghettos, saying, ''If you've seen one slum, you've seen them all.''
He began his first term by reading about government problems and the few duties of the Vice President, and there were early signs, when he began his attacks on the Administration's opponents and on the news media, that he meant to try to make the office more than the dull waiting room it had been for most of his predecessors.
A tall, meticulously dressed man, Mr. Agnew was part of a new breed of suburban politicians. Like many suburbanites, he grew up in the inner city, but as he grew older and more affluent, he left for the suburbs.
He became a Kiwanian and a member of the high school parent-teacher association; he left the Greek Orthodox faith of his father for the Episcopal Church; he switched from the Democratic to the Republican Party, and he made it clear that he preferred to be called Ted, rather than the more foreign-sounding Spiro.
Spiro Theodore Agnew was born in Baltimore on Nov. 9, 1918. His father, whose name had been Anagnostopoulos, arrived in the United States from Greece in 1897; his mother was a native of Virginia. His father peddled vegetables from a truck and then went into the restaurant business.
Spiro Agnew graduated from public school in 1937 and entered Johns Hopkins University. He majored in chemistry but had a poor academic record and left to enter the then unaccredited University of Baltimore Law School, attending classes at night and working by day as a file clerk for an insurance company.
There he met Elinor Isabel Judefind, to whom he was married in 1942, three days after he graduated from an Army Officers Candidate School. In the war Mr. Agnew served as a company commander with the 10th Armored Division in four campaigns in Europe and was awarded a Bronze Star. While he was away, the Agnews' first child, Pamela Lee, was born, in 1943. A son, James Rand, called Randy, was born in 1946; another daughter, Susan, in 1948, and a third daughter, Kimberly, in 1956.
As a returned veteran, Mr. Agnew completed the University of Baltimore law course in 1947. He was hired by a large supermarket and given a variety of duties, from hiring to serving as assistant manager and helping at the cash register. In 1951, he was recalled for Army service and sent to Fort Meade, Md., and Fort Benning, Ga. When he was mustered out, he worked briefly in several Baltimore County law firms and moved to the Baltimore County suburbs.
''Ted got into politics through the P.T. A.,'' his wife said. ''He kind of spread out.''
First Elected Office As County Executive
In 1962, six years before he was elected Vice President, he won his first elective position, that of Executive of Baltimore County, which surrounds but does not include the city. During his administration, the county became one of the first to enact a public accommodations law, that is, a requirement that such public accommodations as restaurants be open to all regardless of race or color. He was credited with a number of other accomplishments, such as building new schools, improving teachers' salaries and reorganizing the police bureau.

Jones suffered an ankle injury during Monday's FA Cup win over Reading and is having intense treatment in the hope of being available for the Old Trafford encounter.
"We are working very hard. He has an outside chance for Real Madrid - no more than that," Ferguson said.
Jones will certainly miss Saturday's trip to QPR, and Ferguson knows his absence from the Real Madrid game would cause him a headache given how well the former Blackburn man performed in the first leg last week.
"He is a young man who went into a tackle too brave and was a bit off-balanced," said Ferguson.
"He certainly won't be fit for the weekend."
Meanwhile, Ferguson believes Manchester United's loss will be UEFA's gain following David Gill's decision to stand down as chief executive.
Gill will leave his post after 16 years in the summer, although he will retain a position on the United board.
The move has been prompted by a desire to seek a place on the influential UEFA executive committee, with concerns being raised about Gill's ability to combine that role with his status as the administrative leader of one of the world's biggest clubs.
Ferguson has admitted the move is a blow, and one he tried to talk Gill out of. But he has no doubt the 55-year-old will be a success should he get elected to the UEFA position he craves.
"He spoke to me about it some weeks ago," said Ferguson. "I was surprised because he is still a young man.
"But I can understand exactly where he is coming from. Sixteen years at United in that particular position is not easy.
"He will do fantastic with UEFA and he will contribute greatly to the game in general."

MEXICO CITY -- Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez crafted intoxicating fiction from the fatalism, fantasy, cruelty and heroics of the world that set his mind churning as a child growing up on Colombia's Caribbean coast.
One of the most revered and influential writers of his generation, he brought Latin America's charm and maddening contradictions to life in the minds of millions and became the best-known practitioner of "magical realism," a blending of fantastic elements into portrayals of daily life that made the extraordinary seem almost routine.
In his works, clouds of yellow butterflies precede a forbidden lover's arrival. A heroic liberator of nations dies alone, destitute and far from home. "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings," as one of his short stories is called, is spotted in a muddy courtyard.
García Márquez's own epic story ended Thursday, at age 87, with his death at his home in southern Mexico City, according to two people close to the family who spoke on condition of anonymity out of respect for the family's privacy.
Known to millions simply as "Gabo," García Márquez was widely seen as the Spanish language's most popular writer since Miguel de Cervantes in the 17th century. His extraordinary literary celebrity spawned comparisons with Mark Twain and Charles Dickens.
His flamboyant and melancholy works -- among them "Chronicle of a Death Foretold," "Love in the Time of Cholera" and "Autumn of the Patriarch" -- outsold everything published in Spanish except the Bible. The epic 1967 novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude" sold more than 50 million copies in more than 25 languages.
With writers including Norman Mailer and Tom Wolfe, García Márquez was also an early practitioner of the literary nonfiction that would become known as New Journalism. He became an elder statesman of Latin American journalism with magisterial works of narrative nonfiction that included the "Story of A Shipwrecked Sailor," the tale of a seaman lost on a life raft for 10 days. He was also a scion of the region's left.
Shorter pieces dealt with subjects including Venezuela's larger-than-life president, Hugo Chavez, while the book "News of a Kidnapping" vividly portrayed how cocaine traffickers led by Pablo Escobar had shred the social and moral fabric of his native Colombia, kidnapping members of its elite.
In 1994, García Márquez founded the Iberoamerican Foundation for New Journalism, which offers training and competitions to raise the standard of narrative and investigative journalism across Latin America.
But for so many inside and outside the region, it was his novels that became synonymous with Latin America itself.
When he accepted the Nobel Prize in 1982, García Márquez described the region as a "source of insatiable creativity, full of sorrow and beauty, of which this roving and nostalgic Colombian is but one cipher more, singled out by fortune.
Poets and beggars, musicians and prophets, warriors and scoundrels, all creatures of that unbridled reality, we have had to ask but little of imagination, for our crucial problem has been a lack of conventional means to render our lives believable."
Gerald Martin, García Márquez's semiofficial biographer, told The Associated Press that "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was "the first novel in which Latin Americans recognized themselves, that defined them, celebrated their passion, their intensity, their spirituality and superstition, their grand propensity for failure."
The Spanish Royal Academy, the arbiter of the language, celebrated the novel's 40th anniversary with a special edition.

Definition of biogeography in English:
noun[mass noun]
The branch of biology that deals with the geographical distribution of plants and animals.
Example sentences
- Alexander von Humboldt of course made lasting contributions to the fields of physical geography and biogeography, adding to our knowledge of plants, animals, and the earth.
- Historical biogeography deals with phylogenetic patterns among species and higher lineages attributable to relatively ancient events in earth history.
- So long as its shortcomings are recognized, this book has a wealth of information on the distribution and ecological biogeography of birds.
biogeographer noun
- Example sentences
- The objective is to bring ecologists, paleontologists, geneticists, biogeographers, and others together to think ambitiously and work on evolutionary problems on a broad scale.
- Most cladistic biogeographers have not been so explicit but have nevertheless implicitly assumed that correspondence to a general pattern implies that individual lineages existed at the same time.
- A phenomenon which fascinated Wallace, and has occupied generations of biogeographers ever since, is the sudden change in flora and fauna that occurs in the twenty-mile wide channel between the small islands of Bali and Lombok.
- Example sentences
- There are a variety of phylogenetic biogeographic methods.
- But because they do not advocate this practice, they review island biogeography and biogeographic principles of reserve design in separate, widely spaced chapters.
- Second, the results of standard cladistic biogeographic analyses, which may combine groups of different ages, cannot be unambiguously attributed to any particular cause.
- Example sentences
- Finally, we propose a biogeographical hypothesis of speciation events within the N. mediocris species complex.
- However, robust inferences can be made from a combination of molecular genetic, biogeographical and palaeontological studies.
- The biogeographical affinities of the fauna are thus not clear.
- Example sentences
- This paper is the first in a series of studies re-describing echinoderm taxa from these biogeographically important Paleozoic assemblages.
- These taxa are biostratigraphically and biogeographically significant and are discussed more fully below.
- Furthermore, trilobite faunas in the Early Cambrian were already differentiated biogeographically.

Yay for Vaginas! Ellen Page Wants More Self-Made Lady Porn
6/27/2013 2:00 PM PDT, by Sarah Taylor
You know who's completely adorable even when she's not talking about lady porn? Ellen Page. Ellen Page is pretty sweet, and pretty forward-thinking, and a pretty rad example of what it is to be a woman, and truth be told, it's women like Ellen Page who are going to change this world for the better and help turn it upside down.
See, Ellen recently did this thing where she talked to her fans about things that were important to her, and one of those things? Well, it happened to be female pornography, and those behind the cameras writing it and creating it and directing it. Here's what she had to say about the ladysex:
"To only have porn from the male perspective is damaging. Women are sexual creatures, as much as men, and that needs to be embraced."
She also said some other important things about female empowerment and versatility, and that was this:
"Considering there are so few roles for women and the roles that do exist can be so narrow in their idea of what a woman can be, it is extremely important to me to be involved with projects where the girl is in charge of her own destiny and is honest and well-written."
Oh, Ellen Page. Do you have to be so dreamy all the time? Talk about major intellectual crush. And she's pretty easy on the eyes, too. Girlfriend's got it all.

REI is moving next door to Half Price Book's flagship store and corporate headquarters on East Northwest Highway, continuing the retail revitalization in the area extending east from NorthPark Center.
The popular outdoor recreation chain is relocating from its Dallas store at 4515 LBJ Freeway in spring 2015.
Employees will transfer to the new store, which will be REI's largest in the market, but at 34,000 square feet it will be about half the size of the store on LBJ that opened in 1993.
Half Price Books CEO Sharon Anderson has been courting the Seattle-based chain, one of her favorite places to shop, for more than two years.
Anderson is developing the property owned by Half Price Books, the chain of 120 stores in 16 states co-founded by her mother. The 6-acre development is on the northeast corner of East Northwest Highway and Shady Brook Lane. The only existing business there now is Starbucks, which signed a new 10-year lease this year.
REI has a store in Plano and new store that will open this fall in Southlake. The Dallas store is the size the chain is no longer building.
"Moving the Dallas store south and east gets us more in a shopping area where our customers live and shop," said Janet Hopkins, REI retail director for its Southwest district. "It also allows us to cover the market well and be more convenient and have a stronger brand presence."
The construction along LBJ was a factor in the timing.
"It definitely has been tough on weekends we're not getting the traffic when people constantly hear on the news to avoid 635," Hopkins said. "We have seen a definite decline in sales."
The new store will have the same brands and categories including a full-service bike shop and will be adding to its list of outdoor classes.
Half Price Books moved out of the building that will house the new REI in 1999. The development has another 13,000 square feet available for smaller retail and restaurants.
David Lewis of Lincoln Properties brokered the deal and Cunningham Architects of Dallas designed the center.

D800 Eyepoint
For those of you have received your D800, and wear glasses while shooting, how is the view? (I don't have my D800 yet) I'm discouraged to learn that the D800's eyepoint is only 17mm, which I think is the shortest eyepoint of any Nikon DSLR yet.
The D700 is 18mm and sort of ok for me, but not as good as the D300, which is I think 19.5mm. Gone are the days of the F3-high eye point, which was great pleasure to use with glasses.
So.. D800 glasses wearers--what is your verdict?
#1. "RE: D800 Eyepoint" | In response to Reply # 0DigitalDarrell Charter MemberThu 29-Mar-12 03:50 PM
I have to press the glass lens up against the rubber eyepiece, but I can then see the entire viewfinder without problems.
Darrell Young (DigitalDarrell) www.pictureandpen.com
"Better too many words than not enough understanding."
#3. "RE: D800 Eyepoint" | In response to Reply # 0
Agreed. I didn't notice a difference (coming from a D300), but now that my attention is called to it, I can JUST see the whole viewfinder, pull back a bit and I lose parts.
However I always rest my glasses against the eyepiece rim, just done that forever, so no matter.

Carnegie Mellon Spinoff, Blue Belt Technologies Inc., Receives FDA ClearancesPITTSBURGH—Blue Belt Technologies Inc., a medical technology company developing the next generation of "smart" surgical instruments with precision robotics, has become the first spinoff from Carnegie Mellon University's Center for Technology Transfer and Enterprise Creation (CTTEC) to receive FDA clearances.
"The Center for Technology Transfer and Enterprise Creation has been essential to our success, said Eric Timko, CEO of Blue Belt. "Its staff helped us to spin out of CMU's Medical Robotics Technology Center in 2003 and provided us with valuable guidance as HealthpointCapital LLC acquired the company in 2011."
In December 2012, the company received its first 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its NavioPFS™ orthopedic surgical system. The NavioPFS provides precise robotic control to surgeons performing minimally invasive surgeries via an intelligent, handheld, computer-assisted bone-cutting tool.
Within six weeks of receiving the clearance to market the NavioPFS, Blue Belt made its first sale to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, Calif. Dr. D. Kevin Lester performed the nation's first partial knee replacement surgery with the system in February.
The company, with offices in Pittsburgh and Plymouth, Minn., received its second FDA clearance June 4 for its STRIDE™ Unicondylar Knee implant system, which provides advanced implant features optimized for use with the NavioPFS.
"Our goal with Blue Belt — and each of the teams we work with — is to facilitate and accelerate the movement of research and technology out of the university and into the marketplace," said Tara Branstad, CTTEC associate director...Read more»

The Grants Pass Miners rallied from a three-run deficit in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Ashland Pilots 8-7 in a back-and-forth Area 4 tilt Monday at Grants Pass.
Ashland, which fell to 0-5, scored one run in the top of the seventh to send the game into extra innings, then took advantage of a throwing error and bases-loaded hit-by-pitch to go up 7-4 in the top of the ninth. Nick Sanderson, Tommy Hulick and Kyle Milgrim delivered back-to-back-to-back singles to start the ninth-inning rally.
In the bottom of the inning, the Miners tied the game on a two-run single by Jarid Norberg and won the game on a successful squeeze bunt with one out.
The second game of the scheduled doubleheader was rained out.

LAS VEGAS – Junior welterweight prospect Antonio Orozco took another developmental step toward contender status with a seventh-round TKO of fellow Southern Californian and one-time sparring partner Jose Reynoso in the main event of a Fox Sports Net-televised card at the Cosmopolitan.
Orozco (17-0, 13 knockouts) dropped Reynoso with a body shot in the fifth round and finished the gutsy southpaw with a right hand during an exchange in the seventh. The San Diego resident boxed a controlled fight, moving and punching at the right times during the fight, but also stepping up the tempo whenever he had Reynoso (16-4-1, 3 KOs) in trouble.
Orozco, who is managed by Frank Espinoza, exhibited competent footwork, good body punching and decent power.
The Golden Boy Promotions/Mayweather Promotions production also featured the comeback of former super middleweight contender Anthony Dirrell, who was out of the ring all last year due to serious injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident last May.
If Dirrell wanted an opponent who would test his resolve and help him knock off ring rust after spending a year out of the ring, he picked the right guy in Houston's tough-as-nails Don Mouton, who gave him sheer hell for eight rounds in the co-featured bout of the Fox Sports broadcast.
Dirrell was in control during most of the rounds and he landed the harder, more accurate punches throughout to earn a hard-fought unanimous decision by scores of 78-74 and 77-75 (twice), but Mouton had his moments (as the close scorecards indicate) in a punishing, fan-friendly fight.
Mouton was able to outwork Dirrell (25-0, 21 KOs) for long stretches when the tall and talented switch-hitter covered up on the ropes, but the younger brother of 2004 Olympic bronze medalist Andre Dirrell always came back with sharp combinations – as well as a fair amount of smack talk.
Mouton (11-7-1, 9 KOs) talked back as the two often stood head-to-head in the middle of the ring, banging each others' bodies with bad intentions. The bout probably featured more body punching that clean head shots although both fighters landed upstairs as well as evidenced by Mouton's swollen eye sockets and Dirrell's bloody nose.
It was a tough, grueling fight and it was exactly what Dirrell wanted.
"I needed work," Dirrell told boxing writers after the fight. "I knew that he hadn't been knocked out. I knew that he could stand up to the power that I had, and he was giving it back to me. I knew what I was getting into. He's a heck of a fighter and I knew that he had been robbed a lot of times. So I knew he was a good fighter. Big ups to him."
Dirrell, who was out of the ring in 2007 while he battled non-Hodgkin's lymphoma – a form of cancer, said he could barely contain his emotion before the fight.
"I wanted to get the crowd up for the main event," he said. "I was in the back waiting and getting pumped up. I wanted the crowd to get loud. I wanted to give the crowd something to see. I could have boxed more. I boxed a little, but maybe not as much as I should have. The next time I will. This is my first fight in about 16 months. I'll be back even stronger the next time."
On the televised portion of the undercard, Errol Spence Jr., a 2012 U.S. Olympian from Dallas, Texas, made short work of Brandon Hoskins, stopping the outgunned Missouri journeyman at 2:35 of the first round of their scheduled six-round junior middleweight bout.
Spence (5-0, 4 KOs), an athletic southpaw, dropped Hoskins (16-5-1, 8 KOs) with body shots early in the round before finishing the club fighter with a left uppercut. Referee Tony Weeks waved the bout off without a count.
"I started out just using my jab, finding the range with my jab. I saw that he was squared up a lot when I came in," said Spence, who trained in Las Vegas, where he served as a sparring partner for Floyd Mayweather.
"Whenever I threw my jab he would duck, so I would come up under with my uppercut. He was squared up, so it was easy to hit him. It was the uppercut to the body and the uppercut to the head (that stopped him)."
Joseph Diaz Jr., a 2012 U.S. Olympian from South El Monte, Calif., stopped Puerto Rico's Eric Gotay (3-2, 1 KO) in the third round of a scheduled six-round junior featherweight bout. Diaz (4-0, 2 KOs), an economical southpaw, dropped the game journeyman with a straight left, prompting referee Vic Draculich wave the bout off at 2:13 of the round.
In the walkout bout of the evening, Dominic Breazeale (5-0, 5 KOs), a 2012 U.S. Olympian from Alhambra, Calif., stopped flabby but game Missouri journeyman Lance Gauch (3-7-2, 3 KOs) in the second round of a blatant mismatch.
In the opening bout of the card, Joet Gonzalez (4-0, 1 KO), of Los Angeles, won a one-sided decision over Alex Chavez (1-1), of San Francisco, in a junior four-round featherweight bout.

CHAFFEE - The Portageville Bulldogs notched their third win of the season Friday night by downing the Chaffee Red Devils 39-14.
Antonio Scott rushed 11 times for 192 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs.
"Our kids played really well and offensively we are coming around a lot better now. Defensively we have a lot of kids who are hurt and we're playing a lot of them out of position and we're struggling right now," said Bulldog coach Ashley Swims. "Hopefully we'll get everybody healthy by next week and have our studs back on defense. I knew Chaffee could throw the ball pretty good and we had our rookie secondary back there. I knew that would hurt us pretty bad and it did."
The Red Devils, who were decided underdogs in the contest, controlled the tempo in the early going of the opening quarter. On some strong running by senior Brad Uhrhan and sophomore David Rhoda, Chaffee looked impressive. Jesse Gettings hauled in a Jeff Daugherty pass and gained 30 yards to the Bulldog 18-yard line during the drive.
From that point things deteriorated for the Red Devils when they lost the ball on downs after the Swims called a timeout to rally his troops.
Scott promptly put the Bulldogs on the board when he sprinted 81 yards for the first score of the contest on the first play from scrimmage at the 6:47 mark.
Scott added two more touchdowns before the quarter ended on runs of 19 and three yards. The last score came with just 10 seconds left and Portageville led 20-0 after one period.
Casey Ash scored the only touchdown of the second quarter on a run that covered eight yards to give Portageville a commanding 26-0 halftime lead.
Uhrhan put Chaffee's first score on the board with 1:06 left in the third quarter on a 2-yard run to make the score 26-6 as the inexperienced Bulldog defense was victimized repeatedly on pass plays.
A Josh Simmons interception at the 7:50 mark of the final frame killed what was a promising Red Devil drive that had reached the Bulldog 8-yard line.
Then Aaron Kershaw broke loose for a 92-yard romp on the next play to make the score 39-6 after Scott's 32-yard score at the beginning of the quarter.
Chaffee scored a consolation touchdown with 4:08 left in the contest and executed an on-side kick that gave them one final chance to put some points on the board, but a great defensive play by Bulldog Thomas Bracey produced a sack to end Chaffee's last hope.
Chaffee's record slips to 0-4 on the season and will travel to Scott City to take on the Rams while Portageville, who is 3-1, will host Kennett.

Marc Jacobs' in-house photographer refused to shoot Miley Cyrus for her recent campaign for the designer, according to E! News.
Since when does high fashion not embrace tongue-wagging twerkers?
Juergen Teller, who typically shoots Jacobs' campaigns, refused to work with Cyrus and didn't shoot the new 2014 ads. "I have worked with Juergen for years and love him as an artist," Jacobs told Women's Wear Daily. "He just didn't want to shoot her."
The campaign was instead shot by David Sims on a beach set styled by Stefan Beckman.
I don't know who any of these people are, but they must be important.
The ads feature Cyrus and two other female models on the beach. No word on whether there was furious twerking happening.
"We wanted this beach with the girls kind of sulky and broody, and we thought it would be cool if it was Miley with what could be two friends, feeling distant and quite dark," Jacobs said.
Jacobs said of Cyrus, "We all just love her and her entire being, her talent, her intelligence, everything. There's nothing I don't like about her. She is just genuine and very natural."
Go ahead and finish your laughing fit. I'll be here when you get back.
Cyrus is apparently a big fan of the fashion designer. She wore his sheer mesh gown at the 2013 Met Gala in New York. She also posed naked for Jacobs' "Protect the Skin You're In" T-shirt line.

Malaysia and the road to the Networked Society
As part of this series, I have discussed key enablers being considered by the Malaysian Economic Transformation Program (ETP) team as it attempts to transform the nation's ICT sector. In my previous posts I presented thoughts on the policy and technology enablers while in this final post, I will go into more detail about business model and ethics enablers.
Business model enablers
It goes without saying that commercial viability is absolutely vital to ensuring sustainability. As mentioned in my previous posts, it is a delicate balancing act for service providers to provide quality broadband services that are affordable to all.
Cost Concerns. Emerging markets tend to have higher connectivity charges due to poorer infrastructure and the fact that service providers pay significantly higher IP Transit rates compared to other advanced markets. IP Transit is associated with the infrastructure required to connect a country to the rest of the world and typically comprises investments in submarine cable consortiums and to an extent, the amount of traffic imported into a country. As Malaysia tends to import more internet traffic than it exports, service providers pay on average four times more than advanced nations that generate more content or have mature infrastructure to host such traffic.
Furthermore, network planning is always tricky for countries with concrete-laden cities and hilly and mountainous countryside covered in tropical rainforest. Service providers in these places need to deploy additional infrastructure and must deal with site rental rates that are amongst the highest in the world. Data traffic is also growing exponentially, requiring more sites and equipment when existing cells are not coping with the capacity (cellular coverage typically reduces with higher traffic volume).
Revenue Concerns. Most would agree that Over-The-Top (OTT) applications are key drivers of smart device and broadband adoption. As this adoption grows, service providers are experiencing OTT cannibalization with lower utilization in traditional cash-cow, voice and text messaging services resulting in a decline of Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). When deploying broadband appears to be a double-edged sword, the balancing act just gets trickier.
Business Innovation and Collaboration. Various innovations were discussed and explored to address this, and the general conclusion by the ETP team was that the industry would need to collaborate even more and work together in new ways. Models such as wholesale network consortiums, Mobile Virtual Network Enablers (MVNE), spectrum pooling and village operators were explored. Such initiatives are being executed by the industry today under the Extending Reach, Smart Network and Regional Networks programs. This included network and spectrum sharing agreements as well as the development of consortiums to jointly invest in IP Transit capacity. New bite-sized broadband packages and innovative content-based and zero-tariff OTT services are being introduced to address late adopters and low-income users.
Ethics Enablers
As broadband and connectivity enables economic growth and job creation, an ethics and policy framework is also required to ensure the sustainability of the industry. Various concerns were addressed: fair competition, consumer protection and responsible internet utilization as well as the creation of local content and the development and promotion of socio-economic empowerment initiatives. This was incorporated into various projects of the ETP and government agencies whose aim is to ensure that the welfare of the people is considered. Up until recently, service providers were advertising peak rates to attract subscribers, leading to unsustainable competition and a lot of unhappy customers. Personal data of subscribers were also sold leading to a volley of unsuspecting telemarketing calls and messages from content providers. The government quickly acted and the Personal Data Protection Act was introduced in 2010 as well as a series of ministerial directives that included among other things meeting advertised broadband speeds.
I believe the government of Malaysia is well on its way to transforming its ICT industry while still ensuring its sustainability. Ambitious targets combined with key enabling factors are coming together nicely. With mobile penetration at around 150% and household broadband penetration fast approaching 70%, the industry is thriving. I have no doubt the National Broadband Initiative and the ETP initiatives will make the Networked Society a reality sooner rather than later.
This post was the final installment of a three-part series. If you would like to go back and read Steven's previous contributions on the subject, you can find them here here, and here.

|Role of the Church
African-American churches were important meeting places for civil rights demonstrators. Two that played leading roles in Kentucky were Quinn Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Louisville and Pleasant Green Baptist Church in Lexington.
Both black and white ministers, following in the path of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., played leadership roles in the civil rights struggle. Interfaith efforts to improve relations between blacks and whites also existed in some Kentucky communities. In the 1950s, a Louisville group known as the Militant Church Movement supported efforts to integrate schools and hospitals. Other ministers, like the Rev. C. Ewbank Tucker, helped integrate the Louisville bus station in 1953.
A brother of Martin Luther King Jr., Rev. A.D. King was the pastor of Zion Baptist Church in Louisville and a leader of the Kentucky affiliate of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He encouraged his brother to visit Kentucky on a number of occasions, including the 1964 Frankfort rally to support a statewide public accommodations bill and a demonstration in support of an open housing ordinance in Louisville. Throughout Kentucky, other religious leaders helped organize grassroots efforts to get their members to attend the 1964 rally.
The Rev. Robert Estill, a white Episcopal priest who served churches in both Lexington and Louisville, was appointed the first chair of the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights after the passage of the 1966 Public Accommodations Act.

A semi-truck loses its trailer on 25 Road in Grand Junction Tuesday, blocking traffic and causing environmental concerns.
The B.J. Services trailer had just been picked up from the shop when it uncoupled from the semi and skid along the pavement rupturing two diesel tanks on the side.
Traffic in the southbound lane was closed for more than an hour
and the Grand Junction Fire Department responded with absorbant to soak up the estimated 150 gallons of fuel before it could get into the storm water system.
Fire Officials say approximately 40 gallons of diesel seaped into the storm drains, however quick response, as well as weather conditions have calmed any immediate environmental dangers.
Crews were applying absorbant at pipes along the Colorado river
to prevent the fuel from entering the waterway.

Down to Dive
If you are traveling Thailand you have to try your hand at SCUBA Diving. Koh Tao, an island in the gulf of Thailand is the cheapest place in the world to learn, with calm, clear waters and the occasional whale shark sighting this is the perfect place to take your first breaths underwater. Avoid the huge shops and head back from the beach a bit for smaller more intimate learning. Rocktopus Divers, just up the hill from Sairee beach is a great one. And Koh Tao has more than just diving, a small sports company called Good Time Adventures offers a rock climbing course and zip-lining over the beaches (they also have a killer jalapeno burger). All over the island food is good and cheap, and if you are into nightlife it cannot be beat!

Dear Kred Team,
I want to give influencer points on KRED, but every single time I do you tweet it out. It's called spam. And I don't appreciate it. And I won't be giving any further influencer points until you fix it. I'm awaiting your response.
Oh, and I love what you're doing. I think you have a few steps up on #klout, but let me show you how they ask for permission BEFORE tweeting their self-promo.
Now Klout is not known for their ethical marketing practices. But it seems you can take that page directly from their playbook. I know you're trying to catch up. But really, you've got to know what you're doing is messed up.
Let me share a response I got this morning, when I was "influencing."
And now @sidawson are buds, but it didn't have to start this way.
I think the Kred Story page is cool. I'd say they got my MO just about right. Bloggers, Marketers, Fathers. Yep, that's pretty good. And they must wonder why, if the call me a 1% top-influencer on Kred why I have so few Influence Points. Well, I think you can read the writing on the wall.
So I hope you clean up your act. And please let me know when you've altered your influence process. I'll be happy to come back and build even more circles of influence using Kred.
From your friend @jmacofearth, one of your 1% most influential people. (Let's meet up at SXSWi 2013!)

Have been getting demands for payment on a non-existant traffic ticket for several years from Pioneer Credit Recovery Inc. They claim the traffic ticket number is 001 & the case number is 200STR00437D. Pioneer claims the money is owed to Coles County States Attorney.
Contacted the Coles County Sheriffs Office, & Sheriff Darryl Cox confirmed there is no such traffic ticket number in existance there, nor any other which I would be reponsible for paying. Coles County States Attorneys Office confirmed that there is also no such case number in existance in their files.
Pioneer Credit Recovery Inc. has been stalking me by mail for at least 3 years now, wanting payment, & always demanding more money. Initially they wanted less than $100. Now they currently are demanding $260, to be paid immediately. I need legal help to get this mail stalking to stop, & feel I deserve payment by Pioneer Credit Recovery Inc. for damages to my permanent credit record.

The "Salute to Women Behind the Wheel" is the only event of its kind to honor female professional drivers.
Speaking this year will be Rebecca Brewster, president/COO of the American TransportationResearch Institute.
Past keynote speakers include Anne Ferro, administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration; Deborah Hersman, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board; Joyce Brenny, president of Brenny Transportation and past chair of the Minnesota Trucking Association; and Sandra Ambrose-Clark, owner of ESJ Carrier Corp.
The event includes live music. Each female driver will receive a complimentary T-shirt along with a bag filled with items and offers from WIT corporate sponsors.
A favorite aspect of the event will be WIT's signature chocolate fountain along with snacks and beverages.
Any female professional driver and immediate family members are invited and are not required to be a member of Women In Trucking. Members of Women In Trucking are also invited.

Come on in and, please, find a seat.
You are safe here, and beyond welcome.
Stay a while.
I don't promise you a delicious home-cooked meal, because that's not the kind of hospitality I'm good at, and my house won't be clean. In fact, I can all-but guarantee you'll have to step over scattered toys just to get to the couch.
What I would love to do is offer you a comfortable seat, a place to put up your feet and rest a while. I'll offer you a hot drink on a cold day or a cold drink on a hot one, and you're welcome to anything in the fridge if you want a snack.
Once you're settled, we get into the kind of hospitality that runs in my blood. I want to welcome you into the conversation, to give you the chance to listen and to talk, to hear and be heard. I want you to feel comfortable enough to share or to listen, or to participate in whatever way you desire. You're welcome here, whether you're silent, talking, praying, weeping, or even if you fall asleep.
Welcome in every sense of the word.
Please come in, and stay a while.
If you choose to have a seat and stay, sooner or later you'll hear it all. We're not much for covering things up here, nor for keeping interactions on a surface level while our hearts suffer and starve underneath.
Life is beautiful and good, and it's hard and ugly. We tend to believe that we can share one sort of experience but that we need to hide the other. But when we do that, we cut off the parts of ourselves that are hurting, broken, and wanting.
The only way to grow, to become the people we were intended to be, is to tell the truth about the hard as well as the easy, and the ugly as much as the good. We will always be a mixture of the beautiful and the ugly, because we are simultaneously whole and tarnished. And it's not only human beings who carry this beauty and pain simultaneously, but the word around us holds these things, too.
That's just the beginning: just the beginning of my thoughts on the relationship between telling the truth and growing and what growing might look like, and the beginning of the conversation I'm inviting you into. In many ways, I'm a beginner to these kinds of thoughts, too. These aren't the sorts of things you learn when you get letters behind your name or where you can pass a test to prove your competence.
They're lessons of life and reflection, learned more from taking the experiences life offers and putting the pieces together in a way that seems to make sense than from a book (though some of the great ones do help you order the pieces)
So sit and talk a while, and maybe we'll both understand more than we do now.

The Annihilation of Lithuananian Jewry is an important account of the Holocaust by a thoughtful and devout survivor. This deeply affecting book reveals both the horrors and the tenacious spiritual life of the inhabitants of the Kovno Ghetto in Lithuania. Rabbi Oshry heartbreakingly chronicles pogroms, being driven into the ghetto, the "Black Day" when more than 10,000 Jews were murdered, martyrdoms, and the slaughter of Jewish children. Rabbi Oshry recounts too his terrifying experience hiding for 38 days in an underground bunker until the Russians liberated Kovno. Part 2 provides a meticulous record of the sad fate of town after town of Jewish Lithuania. And yet, amid unimaginable destruction, the Jews of Kovno Ghetto managed to hold fast to their spiritual life. For three terrifying years-never knowing when death would arrive-they prayed, adhered to Jewish law as much as possible, and celebrated Shabbos and religious occasions with fervor. Thus, despite the sadness and the horrifying details of life in the Kovno Ghetto, The Annihilation of Lithuanian Jewry is an inspiring narrative.
by Rabbi Ephraim Oshry

A Reno man died when his home was destroyed by fire at the Hillsboro Mobile Home Park on Starlite Drive Thursday evening.
The victim was identified as 67-year-old Steven Farley of 300 Starlite Drive.
"We found the victim in the living room area. It looked like he had tried to get out of the home," said Chief Dan Ritchey with the Reno Volunteer Fire Department.

Robb DeCamp Special to the Times
A firefighter removes a window from the end of a mobile home that was destroyed by fire in the Hillsboro Mobile Home Park on Starlite Drive near Reno Thursday evening. The home's tenant, Steven Farley, 67, died in the fire.
Neighbors said Farley lived alone.
"He was disabled-paralyzed on one side and couldn't get around very well. But he was a pretty good guy. We used to mow the lawn for him," said Tracy Morris, who lives nearby.
Morris was having a cigarette near an open window in his own home when he saw smoke and flames shooting out of Farley's mobile home across the street.
"I ran over right away, but couldn't even get near the porch because flames were coming out the door," he said.
Jack and Jennifer Conant are Farley's next-door neighbors.
"I was in the house and saw a lot of smoke outside," Jack said. "My wife called 911."
The fire was reported at 5:06 p.m., according to dispatchers with the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Reno VFD Capt. Ted Patterson was first to arrive at the scene.
"We were here in minutes, but the trailer was already totally engulfed in flame," he said.
Firefighters from Fearing Township, and Williamstown volunteer fire companies assisted Reno VFD at the scene.
The blaze was quickly brought under control, although efforts were somewhat hampered by temperatures that dropped into the single digits as darkness fell Thursday.
"Our main pumper truck did freeze up," Ritchey said. "And we tried to keep water from freezing on the roadway by running it into a storm drain."
In spite of that effort, a glaze of ice had formed on the road leading into the mobile home park, creating slippery conditions for firefighters and their vehicles.
Ritchey said the damage was confined to Farley's mobile home, there were no other injuries, and none of the surrounding homes were endangered.
The cause of the fire had not been determined Thursday night, and the Ohio State Fire Marshal's Office had been notified.
Natural gas service was temporarily turned off to some of the mobile homes while firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze.
There are approximately 40 mobile homes located in the Hillsboro Park.

The world's ugliest animal is officially the....
The World's Ugliest Animal
The Ugly Animal Preservation Society, a set of comedians, has a new mascot thanks to a YouTube poll. A video campaign essentially raised awareness for "painfully ugly animals" and consisted of comedians making the case for and jokes about many uncute creatures. The five ugliest?
Proboscis monkey
It uses its nose as a resonating chamber for loud mating calls. Its diet of unripe fruit makes it gassy and lends it a round appearance. Or as Ellie Taylor lobbied: "They've got massive noses, really ugly willies, and they're full of farts. I mean come on, that thing needs our help!"
Titicaca water frog
It has folds in its skin that let it breathe underwater in Lake Titicaca in South America. Its Latin name translates as "aquatic scrotum." Iszi Lawrence's argument? "Scrotum frog, you heard me right, scrotum frog. Even better than being called scrotum frog, it lives in Lake Titicaca!"
Axolotls are aquatic salamanders that can regenerate lost limbs and live in Mexico. Helen Arney quipped: "Beauty is only skin deep, and the axolotl has a dark secret.... It never truly grows up, it's like Peter Pan, Justin Bieber, or any character Zooey Deschanel ever plays in a film…"
The kakapo is the world's heaviest — and only flightless — parrot. Explains Steve Mould: "New Zealand is full of predatory mammals, but the kakapo hasn't evolved a fear response. Often its response is curiosity – 'who's this?' the kakapo would say – 'oh, I'm in its mouth…'"
Blobfish grow to be a foot long and live at depths of 1,200 meters where the pressure is much higher than sea level. Paul Foot's pitch? "Some would describe it as a bit ugly, but I think the sad face of the blobfish belies a kind and very wise little brain in there." For more information about the contest and animals, visit the British Science Association.
What'd they miss?
What do you think is the world's ugliest animal??
