"A reasonable action on the part of the majority is very rare, while the evidence of mob stupidity and brutality is overwhelming. The majority in power make laws for their own financial benefit, disregarding the interests of the minority, and when the weak minority, by adding to its numbers, becomes powerful, it, in turn, does the same thing; thus, by appealing to power to settle their conflicting interests, the conflict would go on forever." ~ Charles Sprading

KUCHING: A remains of an unidentified sea creature was found washed up at Pantai Pasir Pandak in Santubong earlier this morning.
A villager Hamzah Pelita said he found the remains at 7.50 am along the beach.
"The creature is three meters long and it is stranded 50 meters away from the water. It is my first time seeing this creature as I am not sure the species of it," said Hamzah.
He informed the Santubong police station at 8am.
The authorities are unsure whether it is a baby whale or a dolphin as the remains were decomposed.

Defence Secretary branded a 'hypocrite' for saying he will go to Bomber Command Memorial unveiling despite refusing to pay for ceremony
- Veterans have stumped up their own money and put their homes at risk
- Bomber Command Memorial will be opened tomorrow
- New monument took five years to save for and cost £6.5m to build
- It will commemorate the 55,573 Bomber Command airmen who died in WWII
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond will go to the opening of the Bomber Command Memorial despite his department's refusal to pay for the ceremony
Philip Hammond has been branded a hypocrite for his decision to attend the unveiling of a new memorial to Bomber Command despite refusing to pay for the event.
The Defence Secretary will go to the opening ceremony even though the Government said it would not stump up £700,000 for the event.
Instead, war veterans are footing the bill to unveil it and will be personally liable for the cost of staging the event if they fail to raise the money through donations.
The opening of the memorial is a long-awaited event and there is a waiting list for veterans who want to be there on the special day.
Mr Hammond's attendance at the event means that one seat will be denied to them.
The Bomber Command Association has spent five years raising £6.5million to build the new memorial.
They still have to find £700,000 to provide seating and security for the event on Thursday, which will be attended by ten members of the Royal Family including the Queen.
Fundraising director of the memorial, Jim Dooley, told the Daily Express: 'Anyone with a measure of empathy will understand how the very elderly are anxious when faced with financial worries.
'We are the organisers of what has become all but a state occasion in the glare of international publicity.'
He added: 'I find it hypocritical that a Secretary of State for Defence can turn up on Thursday representing the Prime Minister knowing a veteran trustee has his house on the line to pay for his seat.'
The monument, in London's Green Park, will commemorate the 55,573 Bomber Command airmen who died in the Second World War.
It has already proved controversial after it emerged that more than 100 veterans could miss out on the unveiling because of a lack of space.
Extraordinary: Workmen put the finishing touches to the Bomber Command Memorial on Hyde Park Corner, which will be unveiled tomorrow
Tribute: At the heart of the memorial will be the statues of a seven-man bomber crew cast in bronze
Earlier this month, David Cameron gave the trustees hope when he told MPs the Government had 'the ability to intervene' if funds were not raised in time.
But now the trustees, who include four Bomber Command veterans, have been told the Ministry of Defence will not help.
Mr Hammond said: 'The MoD recognises the unique contribution and sacrifice that the men of Bomber Command made to protect Britain.'
Only as recently as last week, Mr Dooley said the veterans were still £500,000 short.
'The MoD response to this has been disgusting,' he said. 'The unveiling has become a state occasion, yet we are getting no help from the state.'
Trustee and veteran Harry Irons, 88, from Romford, Essex, said: 'If we can't get the £500,000 I will probably lose my house. I haven't got much else.'
Sculptor Philip Jackson puts the finishing touches to the statue 'Bomb Aimer' before a mould is made of it
A mould was taken of the figures before they were cast in bronze and put on Portland stone plinths at Green Park
The memorial was built with private donations, but the bill for its unveiling has risen because the 6,500 widows and veterans face security checks before they can enter Green Park.
Sculptor Philip Jackson created the 9ft statues that will form the centrepiece of the memorial in Green Park, close to Buckingham Palace.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport said it would 'make a contribution' but would not say how much.
The MoD said it was not allowed to give to charities, despite records showing it has donated to 28 charitable bodies in the past five years.
A Government spokesman said: 'The Government does not usually support opening ceremonies for public memorials.
'However, given the unique circumstances of the Bomber Command Memorial, an exception has been made in this case.
Sacrifice: 53,573 members of Bomber Command were killed during the Second World War
Fundraiser Jim Dooley branded Mr Hammond a hypocrite saying trustees had put their houses on the line to pay for their seat
'The Government will make a contribution towards the opening ceremony to help cover the additional costs of seating and security for the many veterans wishing to see the unveiling of this important memorial.
'This is in addition to £1million that the Government has already contributed towards the VAT costs of the construction of the memorial.'
Andrew Robathan, Minister for Defence Personnel, Welfare and Veterans, said: 'The MoD has worked very closely with the excellent people of the Bomber Command Association to ensure a successful unveiling of the memorial.
'We are delighted that a significant number of RAF personnel will be involved in the event, providing a flypast by five Tornado aircraft and a Lancaster Bomber from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight; ceremonial elements by The Queens' Colour Squadron, University Air Squadrons and the Central Band of the RAF; along with ushers, hosts and catering services.'

Every programmer and software project manager must master the art of creating reusable software modules; they are the building blocks of large, reliable applications. Unlike some modern object-oriented languages, C provides little linguistic support or motivation for creating reusable application programming interfaces (APIs). While most C programmers use APIs and the libraries that implement them in almost every application they write, relatively few programmers create and disseminate new, widely applicable APIs. C Interfaces and Implementations shows how to create reusable APIs using interface-based design, a language-independent methodology that separates interfaces from their implementations. This methodology is explained by example. The author describes in detail 24 interfaces and their implementations, providing the reader with a thorough understanding of this design approach.
Features of C Interfaces and Implementations:

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos coach John Fox has brought two more of his assistants over from Carolina: secondary coach Ron Milus and linebackers coach Richard Smith.
Both were on Fox's staff with the Panthers the last two seasons and both have worked for the Broncos before.
The Broncos hired Dennis Allen late Monday night to fix the league's worst defence. Allen, who was New Orleans' secondary coach the last five seasons, is the Broncos' sixth defensive co-ordinator in the last six years.
Milus served as Mike Shanahan's secondary coach from 2000-02 before stops with the Cardinals, Giants and Rams. Smith was an assistant in Denver from 1993-96, coaching special teams and linebackers.

The property manager is very helpful, nice, and accommodating. The rental was clean and as described. There is a nice kitchen, dishwasher, washer, dryer and bathroom in the condo. There is a nice gas powered fireplace, and the baseboard heating works well. There is a bus stop on the route to the base area at the complex. However, I was not impressed with this condo. The fold out sleeper couch is thin, bumpy, and uncomfortable. The upstairs neighbors can be easily heard through the ceiling, just walking around their apartment. It is one of dozens of condos in the same building, and one of several buildings in the complex all sharing the same hot tub, next to the parking lot. The hot tub was not relaxing because it was too noisy and crowded. And the wireless internet is provided by one of the neighbors as an open network. On the other hand, you do get what you pay for and you usually don't get something for nothing. It is probably the right price for the condo, however, the cleaning fee is the most expensive of several similar rentals I compared on VRBO in the same area.Manager response: We Thank you for your response and appreciate your input. Please keep in mind that we are a small botique compay and are hands on with our properties to assure the best quality control. Unfortunetly we cannot opertate at the same cost as the big 5 who have banks of condos in the same complex with on site laundry facilities. But I am glad that you found the unit clean and comfortable! The next time you visit Steamboat we can try to get you in a less crowded & more intimate complex and maybe you will have more peace and quite. Thanks again, CJ

After all, Patch had been such a big money loser that AOL CEO Tim Armstrong ended up selling control of Patch to a firm with no journalism background. In its announcement of the deal last month, new owner Hale Global focused on the local residents and businesses that could use the Patch sites to share content. There wasn't much attention paid in that statement to professional journalists.
So Petroni was ready when the bad news did arrive, amid hundreds of layoffs at Patch that day. But here's what did surprise her: The CEO of Hale Global called her up within a few days and offered her a job covering Framingham for Patch again.
Petroni's story is certainly unusual: Residents of Framingham were so upset about her sudden departure that they deluged Hale Global with emails and the Framingham Patch site with comments, calling for her return.
But there's a bigger story here. To many of the doubters— and it's fair to say I was one of them — Petroni's rehiring offers some hope that Patch can still deliver on its initial promise to wring out a profit from pairing up community news and commentary with hyper-local advertising.
To be sure, the Patch bloodbath hasn't been pretty. Nearly 500 Patch employees lost their jobs last year, and then several hundred more lost their jobs in January. Plenty of former Patch editors are collecting unemployment checks now. And many of the Patch community sites — there are more than 80 in Massachusetts alone — are virtual shells right now.

May 5, 2012 (WPVI) -- Don't run out and but a fancy jewelry cleaner, you can keep your jewelry looking great by raiding the cupboards at home! I'll tell you more.
Try toothpaste. Keep a toothbrush specifically for cleaning jewelry and just put some toothpaste and a little warm water on the bristles and scrub.
From silver and gold to rubies and emeralds, toothpaste cleans it all. Just follow up with a warm water rinse when you're done to remove the toothpaste residue!
Did you ever see the movie about the big wedding that says window cleaner can solve any problem? It's true for your jewelry. Spritz a little window cleaner on silver and gold and hard crystal stones like diamonds and rubies. The ammonia in the cleaner leaves behind a brilliant shine.
Be careful not to use ammonia based cleaners on natural or opaque stones like opals, turquoise and pearls. It can damage the stones.
I've also had great success with the foaming action you get when you mix baking soda and white vinegar. The reaction of the two elements gets into the crevices and settings of your jewelry and leave behind an amazing shine!
Rinse well to remove any baking soda residue and dry with a soft cloth!
Easy ways to clean your jewelry with items you already have on hand!

There is a big chance that when you are using the Mule ESB EE as your ESB implementation and you are creating functional/unit tests you sooner or later will need a license on your test classpath to be able to run Mule in your unit tests. Luckily this isn't very hard to accomplish.
Before we start our conversation about governance in the structure-governance-metrics framework we're building out, I want to take a minute and see if I can finally tell you guys about the house my wife and I were planning to build this past summer.
Sometimes it takes very little time to know that a candidate is going to be pretty horrible. As you can probably guess, the sort of questions we ask tend to be "find me this data in this sort of file." Probably the fastest indication is when they send me projects like these.
Every week here and in our newsletter, we feature a new developer/blogger from the DZone community to catch up and find out what he or she is working on now and what's coming next. This week we're talking to Ariya Hidayat, engineer at Shape Security and creator of PhantomJS and Esprima.
I thought we'd grown out of Scrum, I admit to describing it as agile training wheels, but I've found a new love for it and its constraints. I'm glad I got a taste of what happens when you remove them, and perhaps there are organisations that will flourish when you do. But I wonder if there really is?
The last couple of months I have met several young developers that either looking for the first job or are still trying to get their bachelor degree. Many of them asked me to give them my advice on how they can make their first steps in the software development career. In this post I summarize my advice to all these "young" and ambitious developers. Don't be fooled by the word young.
In business there are many ways to gain a better perspective about a project Customer visits are a fantastic way to expose developers to actual and/or potential clients. Initiating a visit shows customers a personal level of attention that they rarely get from most companies they interact with.
Sometimes, you don't have short projects, so projects get backed up, and your managers ask you to work on several things at once. Or, the managers can't decide which project is #1. Somehow, you end up doing several things "at once." This is the multitasking problem, and this is the cost of delay in this part.
The idea that the way to increase Agility is to reduce the number of disciplines and replace everything with a super developer who can manage the team, work with the business, write great code, test it and then manage its deployment and support, is a pipe dream
Throughout those years we have kept a close eye on the problems packaged in different flavours of OutOfMemoryError message. Daily digests on new questions on specific keywords via specialised services such as the Google Alerts have given us a good overview about the situations where applications fail with the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError in logs.
Code review is a great software instrument and you should definitely use it to improve the quality of your code. But like any other tool, it may be misused sometimes. That's why I came up with a list of best practices to guide you when reviewing your peers' code.
There are many ways for a business to release software. Two common approaches are projects and products. They sound similar but are vastly different.
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful bug. That started from a simple request, about a feature that was just a bit too snug.
Make sure you didn't miss anything with this list of the Best of the Week in the NoSQL Zone. This week's best include a fix for a Neo4j exception, a library called Ottoman for using Couchbase from Node.js, a how-to for setting up a maintenance channel to a Neo4j database, and more.
Well, it seems that in many organizations we've got some things to figure out before we can even really think about doing Scrum. First, we need to figure out what kinds of teams we are planning to form and how we are going to go about forming them.

Trail Blazers, KGW still together after 20 years
- Suzanne Stevens
- Digital managing editor- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
The Portland Trail Blazers have traded their fair share of players over the past two decades, but they've remained amazingly loyal to their television partner.
The team announced Wednesday that it has renewed its broadcast agreement with KGW NewsChannel 8 for the next three seasons. KGW has been the flagship broadcast carrier of Trail Blazers' games since the 1992-1993 season.
Under terms of the deal, KGW can broadcast a minimum of 16 regular season games. The actual number of games aired is contingent upon the NBA's national broadcast schedule, which will be released next month.
The Trail Blazers' highest-rated game last season aired on KGW in a season-opening win against the Los Angeles Lakers on October 31. The game reached an average of 137,000 TV households per quarter hour.

WHEN politicians want evidence to back up their belief that mankind is heating up the planet, they turn to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The Nobel Prize-winning organization was responsible for the famous hockey-stick graph used to demonstrate the purported warming effect of manmade carbon dioxide. IPCC's notoriety has turned out to be a two-edged sword, as leaks continue to undermine the group's core message.
In a statement last Friday, IPCC officials confirmed the authenticity of a leaked draft of the forthcoming Fifth Assessment Report on climate. Skeptics seized upon a chart within the document that compares past IPCC predictions with actual temperature readings. The scientific models of 1990's First Assessment Report forecast temperatures would rise fast, reaching alarming levels by 2010. The mercury refused to cooperate with the warming hypothesis that year. In 2012, temperatures also were frostier than the generous assumptions in each of the group's four previous reports.
A sensible explanation is that Mother Nature has been playing a more powerful role in determining the weather than some would care to admit. "Natural events created the biggest peaks and dips in the observations portion of the IPCC chart, and the observations run cooler than the models," meteorologist Anthony Watts told The Washington Times. The biggest recent drop in global temperatures in 1992 was due to the lingering effects of the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines. The highest temperature in 1998 coincided with El Nino.
Even though the official charts show no significant warming trend in the past 15 years, the planet may be even cooler than the IPCC figures suggest. Watts, who runs the Watts Up With That website, points out that IPCC is using adjusted data. In a forthcoming scientific paper, he demonstrates that improper placement of weather stations has resulted in the temperature increase being overstated by 92 percent. The last thing government officials want to hear is that the planet isn't actually warming.

Debate in Pristina hears calls for rediscovery of trust and a degree of compromise between the two estranged neighbours.
The normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia is essential for transforming the hostile relations of the last 20 years, a debate organized by the Kosovar Institute for Peace agreed on Tuesday.
Representatives of the Institute said negotiations between both parties should be based on "reciprocity and mutual trust, compliance mechanisms, time limitation, historical compromise and international assurances and monitoring".
Bajram Kosumi, a former prime minister of Kosovo who chairs the board of the Institute, said reconciliation between Serbs and Albanians, "be it in the context of Kosovo or Southeast Europe will help the process of normalizing relations between Kosovo and Serbia".
Kosovo declared independence from 2008 in 2008, which Serbia has vowed never to recognise. However, Kosovo and Serbia are engaged in a political dialogue facilitated by the European Union, which started in March 2011.
The process has resulted so far in agreements on freedom of movement, regional representation, mutual recognition of university diplomas and integrated border management, IBM. But not all agreements have been fully implemented.
On October 19, fresh talks, now conducted at a higher level than before, were held in the office of the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security, Catherine Ashton, where Hashim Thaci, Kosovo's Prime Minister met his Serbian counterpart, Ivica Dacic.
Talks are expected to resume in December, but no agenda is officially set.
Natasa Kandic, director of the Humanitarian Law Centre and one of the founders and leaders of a coalition of NGOs, the Coalition for RECOM, said resolving the issue of missing people from the 1999 conflict is "the start of accepting the past.
"The admission of this by one party and the acceptance of this admission by the other party is a start for another relationship," Kandic said.
"We haven't arrived there yet. There are still discussions on missing persons that are not in line with the facts," she added.
The Humanitarian Law Center believes 13,421 persons died, were killed or went missing during the conflict in Kosovo in 1998-1999.
Most of those still missing are considered to be Albanian, while some 2,000–2,500 were Serbs, Roma, Bosnians and ethnic Albanians who were loyal to Serbia.
Thirteen years after the end of the war in Kosovo uncertainties regarding the victims' identities remain.
"We all know the figures... but names are important, because in the Balkans there have always been battles about numbers," Kandic noted.
Issues linked to missing persons have been discussed between governmental commissions of both parties led by the International Red Cross but with no concrete result.
Serbian PM says Kosovo's plan to have its own armed forces breaches the Brussels agreement - and Belgrade wants to ensure such an army does not enter mainly Serbian north Kosovo.
Serbian parties are holding election rallies in Kosovo, even though the election cannot be extended there following last year's Brussels agreement.
As Pristina and Belgrade strive to normalize relations between each other, a US State Department report said Serb hardliners had tried to block those efforts in northern Kosovo.
An anti-Serbian slogan scrawled on the walls of a church in Kosovo has been condemned by a local priest.
Families of people who disappeared during the 1990s conflict in Kosovo demanded legal changes to ensure benefits for those whose relatives' bodies are among the 1,700 not yet found.
Goran Rakic was voted mayor of Serb-majority Mitrovica North, beating Oliver Ivanovic, who is in custody accused of war crimes, after an election race dogged by controversy and violence.
As the campaign begins for a repeat vote for the post of mayor of Mitrovica, the Belgrade-backed citizens' initiative Srpska said the electoral register had been illegally packed with Albanian voters.
Kosovo marked the sixth anniversary of its declaration of independence amid improving relations with Serbia but poor economic prospects for its impoverished people.
New UN report on Kosovo says Serbia and Kosovo have made "remarkable progress" in relations - but the dialogue needs to continue.
Oliver Ivanovic, now in detention on suspicion of involvement in war crimes against Kosovo Albanians, has entered the race to run for mayor of the Serb-run north of Mitrovica.
Brussels agreement has left Serbs in north Kosovo uncertain about what the future holds - and whether they should remain at all.

General protections: best-practice guide — Australia
The Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act) contains a broad set of general protections against discriminatory, unfair or unlawful conduct. The general protections prohibit coercion, misrepresentation, unlawful termination, discrimination and more, creating civil remedy provisions that can be enforced in court.
The general protections protect 'workplace rights' as defined broadly in the FW Act. The general protections prohibit 'adverse action' being taken against a person when that person decides to, or not to, exercise a 'workplace right' or engage, or not engage, in 'industrial activities'. An employee is also protected from adverse action because of his or her race, colour, sex, age and other grounds.
In essence, the provisions protect employees, employers and independent contractors against unfair, unlawful and discriminatory treatment in the workplace. The FW Act also contains very broad options to remedy conduct that breaches the general protections that provide immediate access to the court system, particularly for some discrimination claims…

Scoot: Nagin and racism
by Scoot
posted Feb 13 2014 6:57PM
Immediate reaction to the guilty verdict of former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin included something that never occurred to me during the trial – race.
With the breaking news of the Nagin conviction, I was asked to join Bobby Hebert and Deke Bellavia on "Sports Talk" on WWL yesterday to deal with some of the reaction to the guilty verdict. The first caller was from a woman who said that the former mayor could not have gotten a fair trial because the jury was predominately white – 9 white jurors, 2 Asian and 1 African-American.
Another caller mentioned race when commenting on the conviction and went so far as to bring up the trial of the white Los Angeles police officers who were found not guilty in the beating of Rodney King in the federal trial. In the middle of a sports talk show, reaction to the conviction of a former black mayor was inspiring the playing of the race card.
I am rarely surprised when race comes up as the reason or the excuse for the results of a verdict or an unfortunate incident, but I was surprised that race came up in the reaction to the conviction of Ray Nagin.
Even before the reaction I heard while on WWL, I was not expecting the verbal ranting in the presence of the live TV cameras outside of the courthouse. A woman known to be a local activist was trying to shout comments that would become part of the reporters' live coverage. Most of what she was shouting was inaudible, but the few things I picked up were that Ray Nagin was a "scapegoat" and there was a comment about the white system of justice's unfair treatment of blacks. The woman's rants also appeared to be laced with profanity. Eventually, U.S. marshals defused the situation.
Ray Nagin was supported by white and black voters and was elected and re-elected with a hope of change and race did not seem to define Nagin. What did define Nagin was the arrogant use of position and power for personal gain, and that transcends race.
Our system of justice is not fair and it is not blind. Facts seem to support conventional wisdom that blacks, especially young black males, and minorities are disproportionately convicted and sent to prison. Even if those groups are committing a disproportionate number of crimes, the conviction rate of poor minorities in America proves that justice is not fair. Justice seems to discriminate more against economic status than race, but blacks and other minorities without the means to pay for the best defense may be even more prone to being convicted.
Consider the recent case of a white male teenager from a very wealthy family, who was sentenced to probation and time in a posh rehab facility in California as a consequence for killing 4 people while driving drunk. Do you think a poor, inner city black teenager would have received the same lenient sentence? It's also fair to question if a less affluent white teenager would have escaped jail time. The defense argued that the teenage defendant suffered from "affluenza" – a condition of being from a wealthy family that did not set proper limits for their son.
Race is also an issue in the case of Michael Dunn, a white 47-year-old man who is on trial in Jacksonville, FL for shooting and killing an unarmed 17-year-old black teenager following an argument over loud rap music. In talking about this case on "The Scoot Show" on WWL, I have received calls and texts from a few people who appear to excuse the white man's frustration because he, like many, was just "fed up with the thugs and their music." That is a very scary and very real attitude in America that encourages and justifies violence. The suggestion is that if you are "fed up" with the attitude of blacks or anyone – you are justified in killing them!
This week, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said in a speech to a university that "we are probably today more race and difference-conscious than I was in the 1960s when I went to school." He continued, "Now, name a day [race] doesn't come up. Differences in race, differences in sex, somebody says something. Everybody is sensitive."
As a talk show host, I witness America's sensitivity about race, sexual orientation, class and countless other factors that separate us into groups on almost every show I do and it is sad that my generation, the Baby Boomer generation, that once helped spark the crusade for total equality among all during the 60s and 70s, is now so actively keeping judgment based on race and sexual orientation an integral part of so many of today's debates.
The media and both parties have benefited from racism. The media attracts attention from the heated battles that erupt over race and as a result will always accentuate race as a factor in any debate when possible. In the 1960s, Republican Presidential Candidate Barry Goldwater used integration to instill fear that white America, particularly in the South, would lose status in society. Governor George Wallace was actually a moderate Republican. Wallace lost his first campaign to become governor of Alabama and changed to reflect the South's fear of integration by becoming a staunch segregationist.
The strategy of attracting votes based on the loss white's would suffer from equality was known as the "Southern Strategy" and has remained as part of the strategy of some candidates. The "us-against-them" mentality rallies many voters around certain candidates who speak in code, rather than blatant language, about preferential treatment of blacks.
Racism is not as physically present as it once was, but there is a strong undercurrent of racism from both sides that has become instinctive. It doesn't matter if there are more white racists or black racists in America – the point is that racism is prevalent and wrong. What will it take to get over the tendency to play the race card, even when race is not a factor?
America is still not ready for an honest conversation about race relations because people are more interested in finding things that support their preconceived notions rather than attempt to seek a true understanding of the other side's position.
We are all entitled to our perception of life, but perception is not always reality and often should be recognized as only perception. I speak and observe from my point-of-view and it's important for me to try to understand another person's point-of-view that has been formed by their experiences in life if there is to be any honest conversation about race.
Intolerance is less demanding than tolerance. Intolerance requires no effort – tolerance requires an effort to listen and understand those who have a different perspective on life. And understanding that our perspective is not the only perspective may be the first step in starting an honest conversation about race.
The automatic assumption that former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin did not get a fair trial because only one juror was black suggests that all whites are racist and incapable of fairly judging a person of color.
With recognition of past and current injustices, it is wrong to imply that a white jury cannot fairly judge a black defendant - or that a black jury could not fairly judge a white defendant, but until our instinctive reaction that race is a mitigating factor, we will continue to support racism in America.

My great-aunt Maud, our tribe's self-styled Oracle on the Mount, often intones that much in modern life is akin to sorting oranges, in that one is faced with unending decisions.
A century ago, when Henry Ford was disrupting industry with his Model T, life was less complicated. You could have Henry's flivver in any colour you liked, so long as it was black. Today we have a richness of choice in almost everything, to the point where I have on occasion found myself all but paralysed in the supermarket by having to choose between the jazzy red plastic forks and the cheap white ones.
But choice in today's homogenised urban society can be useful, if challenging in the plastic-fork department, because one can tailor a purchase to one's needs and tastes rather than those of some modern-day Henry Ford. One can, for instance, economise on a less-essential feature and splash out a bit where it counts.
So it is with the iMac, the svelte and elegant new slimline models of which are here now. This new iMac generation, a comprehensive redesign of the line, was announced in San Jose, California, in late 2012. But at that event it was overshadowed by the feverishly anticipated iPad Mini. In some ways, the iMac was the real star of the show.
Aesthetically, it is the best iMac yet by Sir Jony Ive and his design team: impossibly slimmer at its five-millimetre edge than an iPhone 5, and smoothly curved across its back to cover its completely redesigned and seriously upgraded innards. It is faster, has better graphics performance, a markedly enhanced display and, in one option, intelligent storage.
The display puts all other desktops and most notebooks (with the exception of the MacBook Pro Retina Display machines) into deep shade. Though the resolution (2560 x 1440 on the 27-inch model) is the same as on the preceding iMac, the clarity, sharpness, colour rendition and an almost-3D ''presence'' are impressive.
Some of this comes about because the pixel-bearing backlit LED panel is now laminated directly to the glass that protects it, as are the screens on the iPhone 5 and the MacBook Pro Retina notebooks. A new type of coating on the iMac's glass helps by reducing reflection glare by 75 per cent, Apple says.
The visual result comes close to rivalling the Retina Display on my 15-inch MacBook Pro notebook. Apple says every iMac screen is individually checked and calibrated on the assembly line to ensure flawless performance.
Despite all the enhancements, Apple has not increased its prices.
Some may mourn the decision not to include an optical drive, further sign of Apple's devotion to the cloud. If you wish to play a DVD, you will need Apple's accessory USB SuperDrive ($89).
Another slight gripe: the SD card slot is now around the back, understandable because you can't get an SD slot into a five-millimetre edge. But you do get, in one of the most powerful computers on the market, four USB 3.0 ports, two Thunderbolt ports, gigabit ethernet and a Mini DisplayPort supporting DVI, VGA and dual-link DVI. Standard memory is 8GB, configurable up to 16GB or 32GB depending on model.
The iMac is not the cheapest all-in-one desktop computer around, but this new generation is undoubtedly the best of its kind, regardless of brand; worth every cent.
One can, for example, choose a 3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor for the 27-inch machine instead of the standard 3.2GHz Core i5 chipset, or save $700 by buying the 21.5-inch model with a 2.7GHz i5 processor. It will boost to 3.2GHz and the 21.5-inch screen is still beautiful.
However, the biggest choice, over which I am agonising as I contemplate upgrading my current, mid-2011 27-inch machine, involves storage and something called a Fusion Drive.
Fusion teams a fast solid-state flash drive with a conventional mechanical hard drive full of spinning platters and adds intelligence that senses stuff you use more often and switches it to the flash drive, even the photos and music you call up more often. It's all automatic. If you lose interest in Mumford & Sons and switch to solid Springsteen, the iMac will make the change on the Fusion drive. Eerie but true, and when it comes to work files, Fusion is a boon in calling up files with zero delay.
All up, much better than sorting oranges.

VIDEO: Maine Newscasters Quit On Live TV
The "longest running news team in Bangor" quit with, well, a bang, Tuesday night. Cindy Michaels and Tony Consiglio announced their resignation during the live 6 p.m. newscast.
Here's how it went down:
The Bangor Daily News reports the dramatic exit brought an end to a "longstanding battle with upper management over journalistic practices at their Bangor TV stations."
Michaels told the paper that the two decided to quit on-air because they thought that had they done otherwise, management would not have allowed them to say goodbye.
"There was a constant disrespecting and belittling of staff and we both felt there was a lack of knowledge from ownership and upper management in running a newsroom to the extent that I was not allowed to structure and direct them professionally," Michaels, who was also the news director, told the Daily News. "I couldn't do everything I wanted to as a news director. There was a regular undoing of decisions."
The Associated Press spoke to their boss, Mike Palmer.
"Sometimes people leave before they're officially told to leave," Palmer said. When asked if he noticed any viewer reaction, he said the station hadn't received a single phone call.
This story makes us think of other great moments in quitting a job. Back when the Goldman Sachs executive quit on the pages in The New York Times, we listed "four standout 'take this job and shove it' moments in history."
You think this moment ranks?

My name is RAKOTONDRAZAFY Andry Malalan'Ny Aina. I come from
I would like to share with you my great experience in Andavadoaka as part of the Blue Ventures team expedition. I really enjoyed the opportunity to have exchanges with other participants who come from different countries.
Many thanks to Blue Ventures who gave me the great opportunity to follow the field courses on marine biology. As a terrestrial biologist, I saw the differences between managing terrestrial and marine protected area. I increased my knowledge about marine research through the many staff lectures concerning the methodology on exploring, surveying and monitoring marine protected area.
I don't really have words to describe a day in the life whilst I was in Andavadoaka. I think each day I spent there was particular. I would like to sum it up by giving for all the staff, either in
This kind of scholarship is very important for Malagasy students, researchers, or persons who are interested in marine biology, environment and biodiversity.
For Malagasy students, I encourage them to attend this field course if you want to be initiated into marine biology, diving course and experience many activities relating to the management of marine protected areas.
I thank Blue Ventures for organizing this expedition and for the scholarship which gives Malagasy people the opportunity to take part in, and develop skills in marine science and research.

Boaz couple charged in burglary
Published: Thursday, June 30, 2011 at 4:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 30, 2011 at 4:38 p.m.
A man and woman from Boaz were arrested Wednesday night after deputies responded to the call of a possible burglary in progress, according to a news release from DeKalb County Sheriff Jimmy Harris.
Jason Robert Bennett, 32, and Tina Marie Clontz, 34, were charged with third-degree burglary.
A Crossville police officer was assisting deputies in the call and arrived first at the house on County Road 24.
The officer saw a man in the front yard and a woman on the front porch. It was determined in the investigation that the couple had been in the house without permission from the owner, who is out of town.
At the time of their arrests, a plastic bag containing unidentified pills was found on Bennett.
It appears that no items were taken from the house, Harris said.
"We are appreciative to the citizens in this neighborhood who were looking out for each other," he said.

Almost three years ago, Hostess Brands, Irving, TX, adopted British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standards for certification of food safety companywide. The Emporia, KS, cake bakery achieved an "A" rating in its latest inspection, its second under these protocols.
"BRC affects the entire bakery, including how we track and document activities," said Plant Manager Todd Crook.
Ongoing training is a BRC pillar, requiring annual updates for all staff with testing done throughout the year. "Every employee gets training, with leaders getting more," Mr. Crook said. The company takes a train-the-trainer approach, providing instruction first to supervisors, who then train their teams.
"Also, under BRC, you have to verify that the training is done," observed Ron Wilson, field director, Hostess Brands.
For more technical bakery-specific education, Hostess Brands sends staff to American Institute of Baking resident courses and seminars. It also offers its own classes in manufacturing, function of ingredients, control of downtime and so forth. Cake classes take place at the Emporia bakery in periodic 2-week sessions.
