Enterprise Java Programming with IBM WebSphere

Although EJB applications themselves are portable, the manner in which developers install and run EJB products varies widely from one vendor to the next. The goal of this WebSphere AE workbook is to discuss vendor specific requirements and best practices and introduce tools such as the WebSphere Application Assembly Tool, and the WebSphere Administration Console, all in the context of building and running the example programs for O'Reilly's Enterprise JavaBeans, 3rd edition. The Workbook guides developers step-by-step, explaining how to build and deploy working solutions in a particular application server, and provides useful hints, tips and warnings. This WebSphere 4.0 AEs Workbook was originally published by Enterprise JavaBeans author Richard Monson-Haefel's Titan Books publishing company. O'Reilly thought so highly of it, we acquired the rights to publish it ourselves, in order to give more developers access to this critical information.

One of Canada's finest reporters reveals the true story of the murder in Somalia, the scapegoating of the wrong man, and the shocking cover-up by the Canadian army. March 16, 1993. A Somali teenager is tortured and beaten to death by Canadian peacemakers from the Airborne Regiment. Kyle Brown, a young trooper from Edmonton, is initially present, but he commits only a minor offense. He is not there when Shidane Arone is killed, and he is later commended for coming forward with information. Two weeks later, however, Brown is under arrest for torture and murder. Those most responsible go free and lower ranks are punished more. Kyle Brown, eventually convicted of torture and manslaughter, has become the scapegoat in one of the most shameful events in the history of the Canadian army. Who killed Shidane Arone? Who covered it up and why? What has happened to those responsible? What went wrong in the Canadian Airborne Regiment?

Scapegoat

Dann sprach die Glotze wieder: Hey, Katie! Probier mal dein Blut als Farbe, ist doch roter! Katie bekam einen Mordsschreck. Sie hatte nicht mehr mit dem Fernseher gerechnet. Und was er sagte, machte ihr furchtbar Angst. Sie werden mich in Zwangsjacken packen und wegsperren, ging es ihr durch den zerzausten Kopf. Dann kam John von der Arbeit. Er strahlte und sah glücklich aus. Katie traute sich nicht, die Sache mit dem Fernseher anzusprechen. Dies hätte ihren womöglichen Wahnsinn demaskiert, das konnte sie nicht zulassen. Sie sprintete in die Küche und fing an, Johns Lieblingsgericht zu kochen. Es war keineswegs so, dass Katie die einzige war, die kochte, aber jetzt wo sie arbeitslos war, wäre es unfair gewesen, ihn abends noch in die Kirche zu schicken. Äh, Küche. Also kochte sie Nudeln ohne alles. Sein Lieblingsessen. Sie haute sich dann noch eine leckere Sauce drüber, aß wie im Rausch, weil sie Tage zuvor gehungert hatte. Nur Schokolade halt. Und Kotzen. Und als John nur den halben Teller aß, hörte Katie die Glotze drüben wieder. Er hasst deine Art zu kochen, deshalb isst er immer auswärts. Willste wissen, wo John war? Nicht auf Arbeit. Er hat seit Tagen Urlaub und fickt eine andere! Es war so, als würde der Fernseher Dinge wissen, die so noch nicht einmal in Katies Kopf gewesen waren. Und wenn die Saat der Zwietracht erst einmal gesät ist, wird man sie nie wieder los. In diesem Falle der Gedanke, dass John eine andere hat. Und dann kam er irgendwann immer später und später. ...
