'Star Trek' Actor Leonard Nimoy Dies at 83

1 Share
Actor Leonard Nimoy, immortalized as the half-human, half alien Mr. Spock on TV's Star Trek, died in Los Angeles Friday at age 83. Nimoy had been suffering from lung disease, a condition he blamed on smoking. Nimoy was born in Boston, the son of Orthodox Jewish Ukrainian immigrants. His dark features and vaguely oriental appearance made him a frequent choice for offbeat parts. He played countless minor movie and television roles before he was cast as Mr. Spock for Star Trek's 1966 debut.    As half-human, half-alien, Spock was immediately recognizable by his trademark pointed ears. He fought a non-stop war between human emotion and cold alien logic. His calm demeanor was a foil to the mercurial nature of the ship's Captain Kirk as the two men and their crew explored new worlds beyond Earth The original Star Trek went off the air after just three years, But it has been seen in reruns ever since and has a fanatical following, especially with young males. Nimoy also starred in another popular TV show, Mission: Impossible, and hosted the documentary series In Search Of, but was never able to shake the Spock image. He grew to have a love-hate relationship with the character, but learned to embrace Spock, returning to play him in several Star Trek movies and accepting Spock as someone who made him a major star. Nimoy wrote two autobiographies - 1975's I Am Not Spock and 1995's I Am Spock. President Barack Obama, who like many baby-boomers grew up watching Star Trek, said Friday he "loved Spock," describing the character as "cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed, the center of Star Trek's optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity's future." Obama said upon meeting Nimoy in 2007, he greeted the actor with Spock's signature wish for all - "Live long and prosper." Leonard NimoyVerified account‏@TheRealNimoy   His final tweet, posted February 23, read: "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory."

Who was outspoken Putin critic Boris Nemtsov?

The brash, sharp-tongued Russian opposition leader shot and killed late Friday was an outspoken critic of Putin who had been threatened for his views.
Boris Nemtsov, 55, a former first deputy prime minister, was shot and killed shortly before midnight Friday by an unknown gunman who jumped from a white car, fired around seven shots then sped off.
As co-chair of the Parnas political party and one of the leaders of the anti-Kremlin Solidarnost movement in Russia, Nemtsov was particularly outspoken regarding the leadership in the Kremlin, especially Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I'm afraid Putin will kill me," he told the Sobesednik blog two weeks ago in an interview, citing his activism. Regarding the Russian president, he added: "I couldn't dislike him more."
Nemtsov had been working on a report proving Russia's involvement in the Ukrainian conflict. He had received anonymous threats in the past several weeks, said Ilya Yashin, one of the leaders of the Parnas Party.
Moscow and Kiev have been locked in a dangerous political and territorial battle since the Ukrainian opposition last year toppled president Viktor Yanukovych, who was pro-Russian. Pro-Moscow rebels have been battling Ukrainian troops for control of eastern Ukraine. Putin has denied arming the rebels or fighting with them, despite reports of Russian troops and armaments across the border.

Speaking on radio just a few hours before his death, Nemtsov accused Putin of plunging Russia into crisis by his "mad, aggressive and deadly policy of war against Ukraine," the Associated Press reported.
Nemtsov believed that Putin wanted revenge, fearing a pro-Europe Ukraine posed a threat to his power.
"He lies in revenge for Ukraine's revolution, when Ukrainians took to the streets and dethroned the corrupt thief President Yanukovych. He is afraid it could be repeated in Russia. And, besides, he thinks if Ukraine is successful on the European path it is a threat to his own power," he told the U.S.-government-backed Voice of America during a September interview.
Nemtsov had been scheduled to appear at a Sunday opposition march protesting Russian involvement in Ukraine. Organizers canceled the march, instead planning a gathering to mourn him.
In the early 2000s, Nemtsov founded a liberal opposition party but it failed at the polls. He briefly dropped out of politics, focusing on business and aiding opposition forces in Ukraine. He also wrote about corruption in Russia and the enrichment of Putin's rich and powerful inner circle, known as the Oligarchs.
Nemtsov supported Ukraine's Orange Revolution in 2004 and became an economic adviser for Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, who ousted the presidential candidate backed by Yanukovych. In 2008, Nemtsov helped create the Solidarity movement that deposed Yanukovych.
Nemtsov, a nuclear scientist and environmentalist, was long in the forefront of political upheaval in Russia as one of the earlier young economic reformers. He won the post of governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast in 1991 at the age of 32.
Home to military industries, the region became a showcase for foreign investment after the fall of communism, and the media-savvy Nemtsov — who spoke fluent English — quickly became one of the country's most prominent and influential politicians.
But the economic crisis of 1998 cost him his job, tarnished his reputation and dashed hopes that then-President Boris Yeltsin would anoint him as his successor. Instead, the presidential scepter was passed to Putin.

Discovery of dead mom may have sparked Mo. killing spree

TYRONE, Mo. – A door-to-door killing spree that left eight people dead in a rural Missouri community may have been triggered by the alleged gunman finding his mother dead in her home, the county coroner said Friday. The woman apparently died of natural causes.
The suspect was identified as Joseph Jesse Aldridge, 36, of Tyrone, Mo., the son of Alice Aldridge, 74, who was found dead on her couch in the small wood-frame house they shared, Texas County Sheriff James Sigman said Friday.
Aldridge was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in adjoining Shannon County, about 15 miles from Tyrone in south-central Missouri. Sigman said the suspect was found in his pickup in the middle of the road.
The authorities identified at least four of the victims as Aldridge's cousins, Garold Dee Aldridge, 52; Julie Ann Aldridge, 47; Harold Wayne Aldridge, 50; and Janell Arlisa Aldridge, 48, the Missouri Highway Patrol said.

"In our job we see a lot of bad stuff, and this is bad, this is also hard on the police officers who are working that there," Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff Kinder told reporters. "It's not natural to see that sort of thing."
All of the shootings took place within a three-mile radius of this tight-knit community, the highway patrol said. The names of the other three victims were still being withheld.
Deputies found bodies in five separate homes after responding to a 911 call around 10:15 p.m. Thursday regarding a disturbance.
The caller, a 15-year-old girl, reported hearing shots in her house and had fled to a neighbor's home to call the sheriff's office, Texas County Coroner Tom Whittaker told KSDK-TV's Mike Rush.
That neighbor, who declined to give his name, told the Springfield News-Leader that the girl was crying when she knocked on his door and told him that her mother and father had been shot.
"She was barefoot, in a nightgown with no sleeves at all and her legs were all scratched up from briars," he said. "She said she seen a man in her dad's bedroom, talking to him in a normal voice. Then she said she heard gunshots and screaming."
Over the next three hours, deputies found two bodies, a man and a woman, at the first house then five more bodies at three more homes. In addition, one woman was hospitalized with multiple gunshot wounds. A 10-year-old boy was asleep in one of the homes during the shooting spree and was not injured.
The shooting victims included three women and four men, ranging in age from the early 40s to mid 60s. Some had been shot in the head. All had been shot by a large caliber handgun.
Alice Aldridge's body was found at yet another residence. Officers had gone to the house, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports, looking for the younger Aldridge because the survivor at one of the crime scenes had identified him as the gunman.
Whittaker said Aldridge, who was in her 70s and under a doctor's care, had been dead at least 24 hours. He also said there were no visible signs of trauma, indicating she died of her undisclosed illness.
Whittaker said he believes the killing spree was sparked by Joseph Aldridge's discovery of his mother's body. The coroner did not speculate on why the gunman's victims were targeted.
Aldridge's body was found just outside the gate to Warren Barnes' goat ranch in Summersville.
Barnes, whose son used to be friends with Aldridge, told the News-Leader that he and his wife were awakened late Thursday by the sound of what they thought was snow or ice coming off the house "but was instead a gunshot."
Hours later, they were awakened again, this time by a knock on the door from highway patrol officers who had just discovered Aldridge's body nearby.
Barnes said his son had told Aldridge about a year ago to stop contacting him because Aldridge was involved with drugs.
"He had just got too strange-acting, and was saying real off-the-wall crazy stuff," Barnes said.
But earlier in his life, Barnes said, Aldridge was "a real quiet person," although he "didn't have a good home life."
"He was quiet, nice – didn't get into fights at school, stuff like that," he said.
