    extensive addendum, describing and praising the work of Georgia
    Tech in embracing the Flat World reality. This is good Region 3
    P.R.
 3. An article re the Flat World Initiative was submitted for the Reg
    3 Newsletter.
 4. Recent articles in the Tau Beta Pi BENT, the BRIDGE of HKN, EE
    Times, & IEEE-USA have addressed globalization and the flat world.
    Correspondence has been exchanged with authors Lyle Feisel(TBPi),
    Joel Cuello (U of AZ), Kenneth Connor (RPI), Kenneth Jenkins
    (PennState), Frank Burge (EET), Ralph Wyndrum (IEEE-USA), & John
