When you have a phobia you have two choices. You can either tolerate it, or you can say: Enough! I said: Enough.Now I love public speaking - it's an artform in its own right and a doorway to the future. Anyone else can learn the skills of public speaking too - you just have choose to do it, to face up to your fear and to keep working at it (this applies to overcoming any fear, by the way).
Here's the secret: If you don't learn how to control life, then life will control you.

Devil Facial Tumour Disease
30 June 2006
A frequently asked question we get about Tasmanian Devils is what is the progress with the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD)?
In case you're wondering what the disease actually is, DFTD is a term used to describe a fatal condition found in Tasmanian Devils. Its characteristics involve obvious tumours or cancers firstly found around and in the mouth area, and progressively furthering itself to the neck and body. These cancers then affect the way the devil ingests its food, and causes the animal to succumb to starvation and the breakdown of bodily functions.
Scientists have been studying the tumour cells in detail and found rather interesting information. They have already found that it is directly transmitted between animals, and they are now trying to find answers to what causes it, possible preventatives for the future, and how to diagnose it before obvious symptoms occur.
Wildlife officers have also been working hard with developing monitoring programs. Information from these surveys suggests the disease generally affects both male and female adult devils equally. Also they have found no diseased Tasmanian Devils in the north-west or west coast populations of Tasmania at this point. But estimates indicate that in some infected areas, populations have declined up to 80%.
It is an ongoing battle to save this beautiful species, which is our largest carnivorous marsupial. It is a pleasure to be able to work with this animal in captivity, and we are all very happy that our five devils are extremely healthy!

In the News: High Speed Internet
The faster the network connections, the better people can work at home and on the move. Google thinks more speed for more people is the answer. It's planning to test a network that will deliver the Internet over 1 gigabit per second fiber connections "in one or more trial locations across the country."
Holland, Michigan, where Herman Miller's Design Yard facility is located, is one of the communities vying to be chosen. From now until March 26, residents can nominate the city and make the case for why it should be chosen. All you need is a Gmail account. Here's hoping that Holland will be chosen (and that you'll help by nominating the city).

Investigations were directed at finding whether the LTTE was in any way involved in the terrorist attack on Mumbai, the commercial hub of India, but with evidence pointing towards Pakistan based militants any LTTE involvement was ruled out, a high ranking Indian official said.
The New Delhi based Indian Foreign Ministry official told the Daily Mirror yesterday that India had looked at a possible LTTE connection into the attacks especially after Pakistan publicly said such a connection was possible.
"Pakistan told Indian officials to look into all aspects, including an LTTE or Al-Qaeda connection. Pakistan also informed India that some of the terrorists appeared to be South Indians and looked like LTTE cadres. India investigated every angle," the official said.
London's Pakistani High Commissioner in an interview told BBC over the weekend that some of the terrorists looked very much like South Indians.
Pakistan also did not rule out an Al Qaeda connection, especially because the terrorists had particularly looked out for British and American nationals at the Taj and Oberoi/Trident hotels.
But the evidence collected during the interrogation of one of the terrorists, captured by the Indian military, pointed towards elements in Pakistan.
An Indian government official said according to evidence some of the terrorists had spoken in Punjabi - which led the detectives to believe the terrorists could have belonged to a Pakistani terror group.
Meanwhile, some countries said last week's terror attacks in Mumbai bore signs of Al Qaeda involvement especially because its main target had been British and American nationals.
The terrorists travelling in by sea followed a Al-Qaeda blueprint with the underlying theme being to cause as much havoc as possible and this is exactly what has happened in India," London-based terrorism expert George Kassimeris said.A senior research fellow at the University of Wolverhampton said different militant groups around the world were copying the Al Qaeda blueprint on terrorist operations.

There are times when I feel as if I'm truly living in the future. It happened to me most recently when, browsing an online newspaper archive, I came across a 1954 article in the Los Angeles Times about the dawning age of language translation by computers. The short Associated Press article about an IBM computer, trumpeted as the first computer capable of translation between different languages, ended with an example of its skills.
The reporter, in suitably sensational language, explained "the brain" was fed a sentence in Russian to translate into English. "Lights flash, there is a subdued clinking and clanking, and in 10 seconds you've got the translation," it said.
Curious to see if it had got it right, I copied the Russian text from the story and opened a new tab in my browser. A quick copy and paste into Google Translate and I quickly confirmed the translation - no need for a super computer or access to the laboratories of a computing giant. And, had the original quote been in one of the 63 languages supported by Google, the process would have been just as quick.
Welcome to the future.
My discovery got me hunting for the origins of this technology that we now take for granted. And, as I discovered, our interest in multilingual machines and trouble-free translation goes back much further than the 1950s. In fact, you have to go back to 1629, when French philosopher and mathematician Rene Descartes proposed a series of universal symbols that any language could be converted into. His idea was seemingly never capitalised on. In 1933 patents were filed independently in both France and Russia which used different mechanical means of translating languages through paper tape. But, as is so often the case, war was the catalyst for serious effort in the field.
Fear and loathing
Electromechanical cipher machines used during WWII, such as the German Enigma, inspired scientists after the war to dive head first into the bold new era of computer translation machines. One of its early proponents was American scientist Warren Weaver, director of the Natural Sciences Division of the Rockefeller Foundation. In 1946 he read a report by English physicist Andrew D. Booth which inspired him to believe that machine translation was just around the corner. In the following years, his colleagues encouraged him to elaborate on his ideas, resulting in his 1949 memorandum "Translation". The document, said to be the single most influential publication in the early days of machine translation, outlined a series of ambitious goals for the field, despite appearing at a time when few people knew what computers may be capable of.
The note, which recognised the need for a "tremendous amount of work in the logical structures of languages before one would be ready for any mechanization", was circulated to about 200 of his friends (many of whom were US government policymakers) and is said to have inspired virtually all serious research into the subject in the 1950s.
But Weaver's memo was not the only driver for this burgeoning field. What really kick-started research was Cold War fear and the US desire to easily read and translate Russian technical papers.
In the mid-1950s roughly 50% of scientific papers published around the world were in English. The average paper cost about $6 to translate (around $50, adjusted for inflation) and translation of highly technical papers required that the human translator be intimately familiar with the material. The enormous amount of time and high cost of translating those papers presented a problem for Americans obsessed with being on the forefront of new technological developments - and beating the Russians.

Indeed, good to know!
I was surfing on the internet the other day, and I've also found a mention of a great 3D documentary project about Johnny May, the Inuit aviator, on a website called touscoprod. The teaser looks nice.
It's quite new obviously, and you can become co-producer of the documentary and eventually be rewarded with some exclusive access to (meeting with the director, previews, premiere tickets...). I'm in!

Bath salts and synthetic marijuana aren't the only drugs plaguing our state and nation. Police want to remind the public that methamphetamine is still a very serious problem. Law enforcement officials in Clinton County are encouraging people to help put a stop to this issue. Cara Thomas reports.
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. -- Methamphetamine isn't a new drug. In fact, it's been around since the late 1800s. It's made using everyday items, like cold medicine and lithium from batteries and can be made at home. But it's far from safe and can lead to chemical fires or explosions.
James Burns from the DEA said, "The manufacture of methamphetamine in and of itself is very dangerous. It can put the general public and innocent individuals at risk." Police agencies across the state are now working to put an end to this issue. Since January, 89 labs have been seized or reported in New York, eight in the Plattsburgh area alone. These seizures are very dangerous for police and firefighters as they don't know what they're getting into. And the people they find are usually suffering from many physical side effects or have died from an overdose.
Lieutenant Brent Davison from the New York State Police said, "And as meth becomes more prevalent in our area, I think you'll start to see that drug start to show up in the toxicology results of some of these accidental overdoses." Not only are these meth labs a health and safety concern, but they're expensive. Police say the money used for clean up and medical bills comes from the tax payers.
Clinton County Sheriff David Favro said, "They go into a jail environment and we end up having to pay for their health care. A higher level of health care than they've ever received before."
"We're talking between $5,000 and $10,000 and that's just for the cleanup. That doesn't count the overtime or the salary of the personnel involved," said Burns.
Police say new computer software is one way they're hoping to decrease the amount of methamphetamine production. Through this nationwide program the purchase of specific precursors for meth are regulated. And police can see when someone is trying to buy large quantities of those products.
Officials say they are also working to increase sentencing for those producing and selling meth, to hopefully deter people from making those kinds of choices.
Law enforcement agencies say in order to put an end to this issue they need the public's help. They ask that anyone who sees or hears anything suspicious in their community to contact state or local police. Police say tip calls will remain anonymous.

While the Bill Clinton's visit to stump for Dan Maffei is sure to draw a Democratic crowd, there was a fair showing of Republicans at Tuesday's town hall debate. The event in Wayne County, featuring Congresswoman Buerkle and Green Party Candidate Ursula Rozum, was organized by Buerkle's campaign. Dan Maffei was invited to attend, but declined. Our Sarah Blazonis talked with the 24th district's candidates about the role such debates play in the campaign
CENTRAL NEW YORK -- They know the names and they've seen the faces, but voters say Tuesday's town hall debate gave voters a unique view of the race for the 24th Congressional District.
"It gives you a chance to see the body language and all that other good stuff and it gives you a chance to ask a few questions if you're lucky," said Marion resident Gary Shaw.
Audience members asked Republican incumbent Ann Marie Buerkle and Green Party challenger Ursula Rozum about topics ranging from the economy to the environment, but one seat remained empty. Democratic candidate Dan Maffei did not take part in the Ontario Town Hall. At the same time that event was happening, he held a press conference at Syracuse's Thornden Park.
As Maffei challenged Buerkle's stance on hydrofracking, Buerkle asked why Maffei didn't accept her campaign's invite to question her face to face. "I think it's cowardly and I think the people of the district really deserve to have a face to face with someone who is asking for their vote and asking for their support," said Congresswoman Buerkle.
Maffei says there are other ways to reach out to voters.
"I do think it's important to go around the district and talk to voters, but I think you have to go to them. I don't think you can expect them to show up at an event held by one campaign where they invite some other folks," said Maffei.
Buerkle and Rozum say the town halls are still valuable even without all candidates present.
"Given that I'm a relatively unknown candidate here in Wayne County, I think that they're very important for getting my message out, for getting out the message that there's a Green Party candidate in the race," said Rozum.
Audience members said Maffei would've been a welcomed addition.
"I would've loved the opportunity to hear what he had to say in person as well, because otherwise you're depending on secondhand information pretty much," said Shaw. But they will get the chance to hear from all three candidates during two televised debates in the coming weeks. YNN, in conjunction with the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University's Maxwell School, will be airing a live debate in the 24th Congressional District on Monday, October 29, 2012 at 7 p.m. Dan Maffei has declined our invitation, citing concerns about the format YNN and the Campbell Institute intend to use. However, a podium will be set up in the studio and available for Maffei should he change his mind at any point and decide to participate.

T.Nik has not received any gifts yet
Tyler Nicholas Luker, better known for his stage name, T.Nik, was born in Lake St. Louis, MO August 6th 1992. In 1997 his mother moved him, and his older brother south to Alabama. There he grew up moving from city to city. From the streets of Bay Minette, Atmore, & other local towns around Baldwin County, AL.
T.Nik started writing lyrics at the age of 9, getting better as the years went by. His older brother had an old Casio Keyboard that was given to him by his aunt, which he never used. So Nik started using it. Practicing day after day, he started making melodies that he thought would sound good with his lyrics, & then there it was!
Later down the road he started making beats on FL Studio 7. The Instrumentals he began to create sounded very professional. He bought a track manager & started recording his lyrics acapella. Later the same week Nik thought it would sound cool to record some of his lyrics to a beat he made. After he was done recording he sat back and listened to what he had created. He took his time to make sound like he wanted, and showed it to his family. They were shocked at the sound of the song that the 12 year old had made. So from that point on, his family supported his dream of becoming a Rapper.
At the age of 15, he was kicked out of school for being involved with gang activities. Earlier the same year Nik was put into the Notorious Street Gang, BLOOD. Dropping out of school at the age 16, he started working under the table jobs & watched his younger brother while his mother worked. He started skateboarding. He was arrested multiple times for different charges, such as minor in possession of tobacco, & minor in possession of a firearm before he was even 18 years of age.
Nik's mother moved them back to St. Clair, Missouri in 2008. He continued working on his music as time went by. With no way to Gangbang with his Pirus' he started to turn his life around and work hard on his music. At the age of 17, he found out that his girlfriend was pregnant. At that very moment Nik decided to stop his foolishness & focus on being a father. Three months into the pregnancy they found out that they was having identical twin girls. After their first ultrasound they were told that one of the babies passed away, and later on that evening, the other had passed away as well.
The heartbreak Nik & his family went through was devastating. Not even a full month later, Nik's girlfriend was pregnant again!
Happy but very nervous, they made it through this pregnancy and now have a beautiful baby boy.
Continuing with his music T.Nik released his first mixtape "From Stl To Alabama" on itunes, amazon mp3, napster, emusic, rhapsody, & more online stores on Sept, 22nd. Now at the age of 18, he is a proud Father of 2 boys, his step-son and his beautiful baby boy. With a fanbase of 1000's and a great taste for what people want to listen to, T.Nik is here to stay. T.Nik's Music is now on 750+ radio stations across the US in hopes of making major money from his work before 2013.

Yoga (cont.)In this Article
What should be worn during yoga?Any clothing that is unrestrictive will work. Tank tops, T-shirts, leggings, tights, or shorts will do the trick. You will be bending, twisting, and possibly be upside down during your yoga session, so wear clothing that won't expose more of you than you are comfortable with. You won't wear socks during your session, although you might want them handy for savasana at the end if your feet get cold. Where can I try yoga?Yoga centers are popping up all over. According to IDEA and the North American Studio Alliance, the number of facilities offering yoga has gone up from 31% in 1996 to 85% in 2002. Check the following Web sites to locate yoga near you: http://www.yogafinder.com/, http://www.yogajournal.com/OnlineDirectory/, and http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/yoga-centers.asp. You can also check the Yellow Pages (remember the Yellow Pages?) or even your local parks department Web site. There may be a dedicated yoga studio in your area or a local rec center, YMCA, or fitness center that offers classes. How much does yoga cost?Expect to pay anywhere from $10 to $20 dollars per class depending on where you live. Many yoga studios have a one-time drop-in rate if you want to try a single class, or you can sign up for a series in which case the price per class will be less. How do I go about getting started with yoga?I remember my first yoga class. I wasn't concerned about being able to do the poses, but I was a bit skeptical about the chanting and the spiritual side of it. I remember sneaking a peek every few moments while all eyes were supposed to be closed to see what everyone else was doing. It turned out that the chanting and meditative breathing was a valuable part of the experience for me. It took a couple of sessions to get the hang of it, but once I did, it centered and calmed me and I felt great about it. I even remember sweating less while walking outdoors during the hot summer months as the result of just feeling calmer. To this day, I still do my favorite yoga exercise, sun salutation (surya namaskar), after every one of my runs, and if I am stressed, I will do a short one- to two-minute yoga breathing exercise with my eyes closed to capture the "yoga feeling" and calm me down. My experience with yoga is that, when I do it regularly, I am calmer, clearer, and feel good for having done it. I recommend starting with a basic class. All yoga studios offer these, and all you need to do is call ahead or look at the schedule for beginner classes. I also suggest letting the instructor know if you are a first-timer so he or she can give you a hand when you need it. A helpful instructor will keep an eye on you and physically assist you with poses if you need it. It can make all the difference in the world if the instructor pays attention when you're struggling. |

Digital Restrictions: FSF Campaign to Free Kindle Software
The Free Software Foundation started an online campaign in the Amazon forum to free the Kindle code. Supporters already number more than 650.
News came out mid-July that Amazon for the Kindle e-book reader erased certain books that were already bought from its customer accounts. The reason they gave was copyrights. Ironically the books pulled were George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm. The Free Software Foundation subsequently initiated a campaign on its Defectivebydesign.org project page for customers to vent their anger, with numerous readers responding.
The FSF counted more than 650 one-star reviews (the lowest rating) on Amazon's Kindle page based on their campaign. On July 22, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos issued an apology in response: "Our 'solution' to the problem was stupid, thoughtless, and painfully out of line with our principles."
The FSF wants to go further, though. The software activists intend to use their open campaign to achieve free availability of the Kindle e-book reader software. The foundation urges Kindle customers to continue the one-star review campaign and letters to the Amazon chief to urge him to make the Kindle code openly available.
According to the activists this is the third time Kindle customers have felt the Orwellian hand on their devices. In June, Amazon had retracted Ayn Rand's books and before that, deactivated text-to-speech for certain titles. FSF's Peter Brown prefers to use the definition "digital restrictions management" instead of digital rights management for the term DRM: "The real issue here is Amazon's use of DRM and proprietary software. They have unacceptable power over users, and actual respect necessitates more than an apology -- it requires abandoning DRM and releasing the Kindle's software as free software."

Karim Rashid NV Sleep System
Filed under: Decor
Pop designer Karim Rashid has taken on the world of sleep before with his Sphera Bed. Now he's created a new system with Hollandia International that continues his live-in-your-bed concept. The glossy chartreuse and black NV adjustable sleep system has drawers for storage under the bed and in the headboard, an iPod docking station and cabinet doors in the headboard that swing out to create side tables. The concept reminds me a bit of Starck's Sleepy Working bed from a few years back but of course, considering it's Rashid, the NV sleep system looks more like a futuristic neon space pod

Members of the Terwillegar Towne Homeowners Association have voted to spend up to $35,000 to fight a proposal for a 60-unit housing project for the recently homeless in their community.
The motion — one of six in total, all of which passed — was raised Monday night at a special general meeting of the association in southwest Edmonton. Another affirms the group's willingness to engage in discussions on an alternative homeless housing project for the community, while a third motion acknowledges its support for issues relating to poverty and homelessness in the city.
"As most Edmontonians, Terwillegar Towne community members welcome the opportunity to help end homelessness," Steve Simala Grant, executive director of the homeowners association, said in a news release Tuesday. "However, a project that the community could get behind and champion must be properly planned and involve better community engagement and communication. We very much want to partner with a project that will help to ensure successful outcomes for all."
Ray Tralnberg, president of the Terwillegar Gardens Homeowners Association, said: "I strongly believe that a well designed affordable housing project in Terwillegar Towne could be a template for success for implementing throughout the city."
The funding motion amends the 2013 Terwillegar Towne Homeowners Association budget to include up to $35,000 to fight the proposal by the Jasper Place Health and Wellness Centre, with much of that money to be used for legal and staffing-related costs. The group's budget is based on $100 in annual fees from each of the 2,300 homeowners in Terwillegar Towne. The use of the additional budgeted money to counter the project may carry forward into 2014.
Susan McGee — who heads Homeward Trust, one of the funders for the proposal — said last week it would hate to see community resources spent in such a way, considering the Anglican Church, upon whose land the project is meant to be built, has not yet signed over the lease to Jasper Place Health and Wellness. The not-for-profit agency has applied to build the $12.1-million supportive housing unit on vacant land beside Holy Trinity Riverbend Church at 1428 156th St.
Jasper Place Health and Wellness has promised 24-hour support staff on-site to help, as well as shuttle service to help people get to work or to a grocery store.
Craig Loewen, press secretary for Human Services Minister Dave Hancock, said last week the province is still committed to give a grant toward the project of $8.5 million, but only after certain conditions are met, including clear evidence Jasper Place Health and Wellness properly consulted with the community, and defined assurances on how any issues would be resolved.
Further public consultation is being sought next Monday from 7 to 9 p.m. at a town hall meeting involving both homeowners' associations at Terwillegar Community Church, 1751 Towne Centre Blvd., Grant said in the news release.

The Fayetteville Observer reports violent crime is up significantly in our city. The majority of that crime is more than likely black-on-black. Our new police chief is right when he says we are an integral part of crime prevention. City Council members should be concerned about the high crime rate in their districts. However, they will demur when it comes to the root of the problem. It will not be mentioned by any other so-called leader in the black community.
What is this problem that has plagued us for generations that we will not mention? The taboo subject is out-of-wedlock birth rates.
We are 13.6 percent of the national population, and we account for the majority of inmates in the prison system. Racial history accounts for some of this disparity in numbers, but the true culprit is fatherless children.
We know that family structure often predicts success or failure in life. When you have 70 percent of one group of people born into single-parent homes, trouble will follow. This is especially true for boys. Despite all the liberal social engineering and pontificating, boys, in particular, need a father. We must be blunt and not politically correct. We must say loud and clear to our young people to stop having children out of wedlock.
Local billboards should publicly shame men who are not there emotionally and financially for their children.
If I were a member of the Ku Klux Klan and saw the chaos in the black community, I would be smiling.
Every week, in my State Farm Insurance agency in Lumberton, customers ask about the various discounts and programs that are advertised on television. Nearly every time, I have to tell customers to note the fine print that says, "not available in all states," and North Carolina is one of those states.
Did you know that North Carolina is the only state in the nation that mandates how companies charge drivers for car insurance? Over the past five years, good drivers in North Carolina have paid over $900 million in hidden taxes that subsidize the losses of high-risk drivers. Special thanks to Sen. Wesley Meredith for sponsoring SB 154, which would eliminate these hidden taxes and create a free-market system to increase competition and give consumers more choices.

Kids Explaining Computers in 1984
Image credit:
So what is a computer? According to kids on Sesame Street in 1984, "You press some buttons and then you can make a design." Yeah, that's pretty much what a computer is (and certainly what they were to me in 1984). Also: "It's something like a TV, and you can make pictures with it, and it helps you to read." Yes!
My favorite part:
Kid: "People don't have buttons and a computer does."
Teacher: "You have buttons on your shirt."
Kid: [Rolls eyes] "Ahhhh!"
If you liked that, you might enjoy The Last Decade According to 9-Year-Olds. For what it's worth, I could've sworn I'd posted this video years ago...but my computer tells me I never made a design about it. So now I'm pressing some buttons.

The curse of the Great Barrier Reef, the crown of thorns starfish, could be eradicated in Queensland's key tourism areas by early next year, an expert says.
A team of nine divers has removed around 70,000 of the destructive creatures over the past five years amid concerns they could cripple the reef's $5.1 billion tourism industry.
Association of Marine Park Tourism Operators (AMPTO) executive director Col McKenzie predicted popular areas such as the Whitsundays could be free of the pest under the group's federally-funded eradication program.
"Each couple of months the plague just moves a few kilometres down the track and now the major infestation is essentially about half way between Townsville and the Whitsundays," he said.
"So it'll go through a peak and taper off, so I would guess about March, April next it'll be about time to wind the whole thing up."
The starfish, which can weigh up to 100kg and devour vast amounts of coral, is capable of devastating large areas of the iconic reef.
Originating north of Cairns, they are found in plague proportions with one site alone estimated to be home to more than 10 million.
Divers spend 10 days at each site killing the starfish by injecting them with sodium bisulphate - a pool chemical that dissolves the animal into a "seafood soup" to be eaten by other marine creatures.
The job was extremely labour intensive, Mr McKenzie said.
"If you had a crown of thorns the size of a dinner plate, you need to inject it five times," he said.
"But if you take a bigger one than that, and these things get up to 1.3 metres in diameter which is coffee table size ... it might require those five injections and then one on every single arm.
"They can have up to 25 arms so in that case you're talking 30 injections."
The starfish die within two days.
Mr McKenzie said it was possible the starfish could make an unwelcome return despite being removed from an area.
"It's like fighting a bushfire where all you can do is protect the assets," he said.

By Steve DeVane Staff writer
A Cumberland County judge ruled Friday that prosecutors in North Carolina have intentionally used race when choosing jurors for capital murder trials, a landmark decision for death row inmates that could ripple through courthouses across the state.
In the first ruling under the controversial Racial Justice Act, the judge converted convicted murderer Marcus Reymond Robinson's 1994 death sentence to life in prison without parole.
Cumberland County Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Greg Weeks found that race was a significant factor in the selection of Robinson's jury. The judge's 167-page ruling found that prosecutors in other capital cases in Cumberland County and across the state used race as a basis for whether to seat jurors.
"The court finds that Robinson introduced a wealth of evidence showing the persistent, pervasive and distorting role of race in jury selection throughout North Carolina," Weeks said. "That evidence is largely unrebutted by the state."
Weeks said the evidence "should serve as a clear signal of the need for reform in capital jury selection proceedings in the future."
The Racial Justice Act of 2009 gave death row inmates and capital murder defendants a chance to bring claims if they believed they were unable to get a fair trial because of racism. Under the law, the inmates could use statistics to prove bias in the court system.
If a judge determines racism was a factor, a death sentence is converted to life without parole.
Robinson, a black man who killed a 17-year-old white teenager in 1991, became the first test of the law.
His Cumberland County jury had one American Indian, two black and nine white members.
As Weeks read a summary of his ruling, his findings went in favor of the defense again and again. Robinson bowed his head slightly and closed his eyes, clasping his hands together and holding two fingers to his lips.
Relatives of the murder victim in the case, 17-year-old Eric Tornblom, looked on. His father, Richard Tornblom, held a cane against his body, rubbing the end with his thumb.
After reading the ruling, Weeks asked Robinson to stand. Robinson stood straight with his hands behind his back while Weeks re-sentenced him to life in prison.
After court adjourned, Robinson hugged his lawyers.
"I don't think he'll mind me telling you he told me to tell his mother, 'I love you,' " Charlotte lawyer James E. Ferguson II told a reporter.
Robinson's mother, Shirley Burns, embraced a few dozen supporters and said she had expected a favorable ruling.
"Facts are facts," she said. "That's it."
After Burns spoke to reporters, she bent over as if she were going to pass out. Supporters fanned her face with legal pads until she was able to stand again.
Patricia Tornblom, who knew Eric and married his father a few years ago, said family members were disappointed by the ruling.
"I don't think we expected it," she said.
Patricia Tornblom said her husband did not want to talk to reporters about the case.
"It will just never be over for him," she said. "It's just a sad feeling."
Weeks heard evidence in Robinson's claim during nearly three weeks in February. At issue were decisions by prosecutors statewide since 1990 to peremptorily dismiss black people from jury pools, and the prosecution's peremptory challenges of five black potential jurors during Robinson's trial.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers are allowed to dismiss a limited number of potential jurors without stating a reason. However, in these peremptory challenges, a person's race must not be the reason for the removal.
Robinson's lawyers cited a Michigan State University study of peremptory challenges by prosecutors in 173 death penalty trials from 1990 to 2010. The research concluded that prosecutors peremptorily struck black people at more than twice the rate as they struck others. In Robinson's trial, blacks were dismissed from the jury pool 3.5 times more than other races.
Prosecutors said the jury strikes were legitimate and were not based on race. The Michigan State study was severely flawed, they argued during the hearing.
Weeks found that the study was valid and highly reliable.
"The MSU study was comprehensive," he said.
Racial discrimination during jury selection compromises the right of trial by an impartial jury, Weeks said. Using language from Supreme Court cases dealing with discrimination in jury selection, he said the harm is not confined to minorities.
"When the government's choice of jurors is tainted with racial bias, that overt wrong casts doubt over the obligation of the parties, the jury and indeed the court to adhere to the law throughout the trial," Weeks said. "The very integrity of the court is jeopardized when prosecutors' discrimination invites cynicism respecting the jury's neutrality and undermines public confidence in adjudication."
Weeks said the case was about fairness and reliability in the imposition of capital offenses.
"It is the hope of this court that we are now at the beginning of the end of the long struggle to eliminate discrimination in our system of justice," he said.
Prosecutors have 60 days after a transcript of the proceedings is complete to appeal the ruling.
Court officials said the transcript is expected to be finished next week.
Prosecutors in the case could not be reached for comment, but prosecutor Rob Thompson asked Weeks to delay changing Robinson's sentence until after the appeal process. Weeks declined.
Defense lawyer Malcolm "Tye" Hunter called the ruling an "emperor has no clothes moment."
"This is something we've all seen and has been going on for a long time," he said. "Now, for the first time, a very experienced and respected judge has said it out loud."
Hunter said about 150 of the 157 inmates on death row in North Carolina have filed Racial Justice Act motions.
"It is not legal precedent that binds other judges, but I expect it to be legal precedent that is very persuasive to other judges," he said.
The North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys released a statement saying that "district attorneys across North Carolina strongly dispute that race is a significant factor in death penalty cases."
"Race should never play a role in the criminal justice system; not in decisions made by prosecutors, nor rulings made by judges," the statement said. "In every case, a prosecutor's focus is on the facts, the law and the victim. Claims of racial bias are best addressed by the trial judge hearing the case, not by generalized statistics presented more than 20 years after conviction."
N.C. Rep. Joe Hackney, a Democrat who is House minority leader, said the Racial Justice Act worked as intended. "Mr. Robinson will spend the rest of his life in prison without parole for the crimes he committed. That is appropriate," Hackney said in a statement. "The courts corrected a death sentence in which race played a significant role. That is also appropriate."
Republican lawmakers who oppose the law tried to overturn it with a bill last year that was vetoed by Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue. A House committee is now considering changes to the law and may make recommendations to the General Assembly in May.
"We cannot allow cold-blooded killers to be released into our community, and I expect the state to appeal this decision," said N.C. Sen. Phil Berger, a Republican from Rockingham and president pro tem of that chamber. "Regardless of the outcome, we continue to believe the Racial Justice Act is an ill-conceived law that has very little to do with race and absolutely nothing to do with justice."

Diamonds into tradable securities financial firm -- shares getting -- patent this week.
For a process to do exactly that so.
We'll diamonds be the next big commodity for investors joining us now from -- shares is Danny programs -- Daniel.
2011 was a great year for diamonds I know they rose about 90% but historically speaking diamonds have been eight terrible investing -- lucky to get half your money back if -- trying to resell them.
How would this process change that.
Well in terms of reselling and what let's define what we have here first David.
We have a patent that's been issued on.
Identifying a particular type of diamond ever discussing here.
And that is an investment grade diamond that diamond has to meet certain criteria subject of an objective criteria.
If it does meet that then it's put into with a basket -- other diamond which is a part of our patent.
And then from that we have a methodology decrease the value of that basket.
Now let's go back to the point do you race to what we're looking at here trading is not an individual stone.
For any stone that you could find on the street what we're looking at trading.
Is a very unique what we consider a global investment grade standard stone.
And it is the value of that basket as it rises them follows that you and I would be trading.
I loved the idea because it seems like -- something new and an opportunity but diamonds and their prices are so idiosyncratic now.
It kind of dove tails off at David's question but.
Going back to making sure that you don't get the rip off factor because every time an anybody's ever -- a diamond will come in they'll -- Hello this cut this characters clarity its efforts on -- enough already and then.
It's worth 7000 dollars a -- The next day you could go back to sell it and -- obvious things piece of junk but that there's a tiny speck and it forget and I'll take 3500.
I it seems -- -- a scam in many cases so how do you eliminate that part of it.
What you both have identified something that's been critical -- which is also prevented diamonds from -- and securitized in the past.
And that is how do you -- -- how do you make it fungible.
So what we've done is we've taken.
If you look at certification process for example for stones.
Those certification processes are subjected and that's also one of the issues that you're facing and what you just described what we're talking about here.
Is taking subject him.
But we're adding in some.
Object to the criteria another ones if a stone has a certain proportion.
If a stone has to certain symmetry if a stone has certain optical qualities it either have to board doesn't so that way.
-- -- we we're just gonna say that that it's gonna be traded went around 2013 yes.
That's for looking for -- we have we're in the discussion right now with them a variety of organizations and we're looking for.
Mid to later 2013 to launch Daniel holograms that TF's futures best of luck to you.
Thanks to some people diamonds are tough sell to other people not tough at all I think in order but thank you very much -- and -- -- -- good luck.

In his new book, "Reinventing Fire," Amory Lovins shares ingenious ideas for the next era of energy.
Amory Lovins was worried (and writing) about energy long before global warming was making the front -- or even back -- page of newspapers. Since studying at Harvard and Oxford in the 1960s, he's written dozens of books, and initiated ambitious projects -- cofounding the influential, environment-focused Rocky Mountain Institute; prototyping the ultra-efficient Hypercar -- to focus the world's attention on alternative approaches to energy and transportation.
His critical thinking has driven people around the globe -- from world leaders to the average Joe -- to think differently about energy and its role in some of our biggest problems: climate change, oil dependency, national security, economic health, and depletion of natural resources.
Lovins offers solutions as well. His new book and site, Reinventing Fire, offers actionable solutions for four energy-intensive sectors of the economy: transportation, buildings, industry and electricity. Lovins has always focused on solutions that conserve natural resources while also promoting economic growth; Texas Instruments and Wal-Mart are just two of the mega-corporations he has advised on improving energy efficiency.
Read more about Amory Lovins on the TED Blog »
"What if we could make energy do our work without working our undoing?"
"Fire made us human, fossil fuels made us modern, but now we need a new fire that makes us safe, secure, healthy and durable."
"We've got 21st century technology and speed colliding head-on with 20th and 19th century institutions, rules and cultures."
