David Ernest Duke (born July 1, 1950) is an American White nationalist, writer, right-wing politician, and a former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,[5][6] and former Republican Louisiana State Representative. He was a candidate in the Democratic presidential primaries in 1988 and the Republican presidential primaries in 1992. Duke has unsuccessfully run for the Louisiana State Senate, United States Senate, United States House of Representatives, and Governor of Louisiana.
Duke describes himself as a "racial realist", asserting that "all people have a basic human right to preserve their own heritage."[7] He opposes what he considers to be Jewish control of the Federal Reserve Bank, the federal government and the media. Duke supports the preservation of what he labels Western culture and traditionalist Christian "family values", strict Constitutionalism, abolition of the Internal Revenue Service, voluntary racial segregation, ardent anti-communism and white separatism.[8][9][10]
The Southern Poverty Law Center describes Duke as "the most recognizable figure on the American radical right" and "a neo-Nazi".[11] His views are characterized by racism, antisemitism, and Holocaust denial.[12][13][14][15][16]
Duke was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to David H. Duke and Alice Maxine Crick. As the son of an engineer for Shell Oil Company, Duke frequently moved with his family around the world. They lived a short time in the Netherlands, before settling in Louisiana. In the late 1960s, Duke met William Luther Pierce, the leader of the white nationalist and anti-semitic National Alliance, who would remain a lifelong influence on him. Duke joined the Ku Klux Klan in 1967.[17]
Duke studied at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge, and in 1970, he formed a white student group called the White Youth Alliance; it was affiliated with the National Socialist White People's Party. The same year, to protest William Kunstler's appearance at Tulane University in New Orleans, Duke appeared at a demonstration in Nazi uniform. Picketing and holding parties on the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birth, he became notorious on the LSU campus for wearing a Nazi uniform.[18]
Duke claimed to have spent nine months in Laos, calling that a "normal tour of duty". He actually went there to join his father, who was working there and had asked him to visit during the summer of 1971.[19] His father got him a job teaching English to Laotian military officers, from which he was dismissed after six weeks when he drew a Molotov cocktail on the blackboard.[20] He also claimed to have gone behind enemy lines twenty times at night to drop rice to anti-Communist insurgents in planes flying ten feet off the ground, narrowly avoiding receiving a shrapnel wound. Two Air America pilots who were in Laos at that time said that flights were during the day and flew no less than 500 feet from the ground. One suggested that it might have been possible for Duke to have gone on a safe "milk run" once or twice but no more than that. Duke was also unable to recall the name of the airfield used.[19]
He enrolled at LSU in 1968 and graduated in 1974. During this time he spent what would have been his senior year organizing the National Party.[21]
In January 1972, Duke was arrested in New Orleans for "inciting to riot". Several racial confrontations broke out that month in the Crescent City, including one at the Robert E. Lee Monument. Addison Roswell Thompson, a perennial segregationist candidate for governor of Louisiana and mayor of New Orleans, and his 89-year-old friend and mentor, Rene LaCoste (not to be confused with the French tennis player René Lacoste). Thompson and LaCoste dressed in Klan robes for the occasion and placed a Confederate flag at the monument. The Black Panthers began throwing bricks at the pair, but police arrived in time to prevent serious injury.[22]
While working in the White Youth Alliance, Duke met Chloê Hardin, who was also active in the group. They remained companions throughout college and married in 1974. Hardin is the mother of Duke's two daughters, Erika and Kristin. Tom Metzger, at the time Duke's state leader in southern California, became livid when Duke showed up for a Ku Klux Klan anti-immigrant "border watch" gathering and immediately started to pursue women.[23] The Dukes divorced in 1984—arguably because Chloe was fed up with Duke's womanizing[24]—and Chloe moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, to be near her parents. There she became involved with Duke's Klan friend, Don Black, whom she later married.[25] Duke also developed a lifelong weakness for gambling[23]
As of 2009, it was confirmed that David Duke was living in Zell am See in Salzburg, Austria,[26] from which he ran the Internet business "Art by Ernst", taking and selling photographs of rare birds, mountain scenery and wildlife[27][28] under the pseudonym "Ernst Duke" (his middle-name "Ernest" Germanized).[29][30] Local authorities have stated that as long as he does not break any laws, Duke is allowed to stay in Austria if he wishes.[31] Duke has stated: "I'm not in Austria for any political activities. I just come to Austria to relax – the mountains are beautiful. The Austrian Alps are just beautiful. There's beauty all over the world." In May 2009, Duke issued a statement denying that he resides in Austria and saying that he is a resident of Mandeville in St. Tammany Parish and is registered as a taxpayer in his city, state and on the national level.[32]As of August 1, 2014, Duke is not listed by the Louisiana Secretary of State, Tom Schedler, as a registered voter in Louisiana.[1]
Duke first ran for the Louisiana Senate as a Democrat from a Baton Rouge district in 1975. He received 11,079 votes, a third of those cast.[33] In October 1979, he ran as a Democrat for the 10th District Senate seat and finished second in a three-candidate race with 9,897 votes (26 percent).[34] Duke allegedly conducted a direct-mail appeal in 1987, using the identity and mailing-list of the Georgia Forsyth County Defense League without permission. League officials described it as a fund-raising scam. Duke was accused by several Klan officials of stealing his organization's money. "Duke is nothing but a con artist," Jack Gregory, Duke's Florida state leader, told the Clearwater Sun (of Florida) after David Duke allegedly refused to turn over proceeds from a series of 1979 Klan rallies to the Knights. Another Klan official under Duke, Jerry Dutton, told reporters that Duke had used Klan funds to purchase and refurbish his home in Metairie. Duke later justified the repairs by saying most of his home was used by the Klan. In 1979, after his first, abortive run for president (as a Democrat) and a series of highly publicized violent Klan incidents, Duke quietly incorporated the nonprofit National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP) in an attempt to leave the baggage of the Klan behind.[35]
In 1988, Duke ran initially in the Democratic presidential primaries. His campaign failed to make much of an impact, with the one notable exception of winning the little-known New Hampshire Vice-Presidential primary.[36] Duke, having failed to gain much traction as a Democrat, then successfully sought the Presidential nomination of the Populist Party.[37] He appeared on the ballot for President in eleven states and was a write-in candidate in some other states, some with Trenton Stokes of Arkansas for Vice President, and on other state ballots with Floyd Parker for Vice President. He received just 47,047 votes, for 0.04 percent of the combined, national popular vote.[38]
In December 1988, Duke changed his political affiliation from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.[3]
In 1988, Republican State Representative Charles Cusimano of Metairie resigned his District 89 seat to become a 24th Judicial District Court judge, and a special election was called early in 1989 to select a successor. Duke entered the race to succeed Cusimano and faced several opponents, including fellow Republicans, John Spier Treen, a brother of former Governor David C. Treen, Delton Charles, a school board member, and Roger F. Villere, Jr., who operates Villere's Florist in Metairie. Duke finished first in the primary with 3,995 votes (33.1%).[39] As no one received a majority of the vote in the first round, a runoff election was required between Duke and Treen, who polled 2,277 votes (18.9%) in the first round of balloting. John Treen's candidacy was endorsed by U.S. President George H. W. Bush, former President Ronald Reagan, and other notable Republicans,[40] as well as the Democrat Victor Bussie (president of the Louisiana AFL-CIO) and Edward J. Steimel (president of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry and former director of the "good government" think tank, the Public Affairs Research Council). Duke, however, hammered Treen on a statement the latter had made indicating a willingness to entertain higher property taxes, anathema in that suburban district.[41] Duke with 8,459 votes (50.7%) defeated Treen, who polled 8,232 votes (49.3%).[42] He served in the House from 1989 until 1992.[43]
Freshman legislator Odon Bacqué of Lafayette, a No Party member of the House, stood alone in 1989 when he attempted to deny seating to Duke on the grounds that the incoming representative had resided outside his district at the time of his election. When John Treen failed in a court challenge in regard to Duke's residency, Duke was seated. Lawmakers who opposed Duke said that they had to defer to his constituents who narrowly chose Duke as representative.[44]
Duke took his seat on the same day as Jerry Luke LeBlanc of Lafayette Parish, who won another special election held on the same day as the Duke-Treen runoff to choose a successor to Kathleen Blanco, the future governor who was elected to the Louisiana Public Service Commission. Duke and LeBlanc were sworn in separately.
As a short-term legislator, Duke was, in the words of a colleague, Ron Gomez of Lafayette "so single minded, he never really became involved in the nuts and bolts of House rules and parliamentary procedure. It was just that shortcoming that led to the demise of most of his attempts at lawmaking."[45]
One legislative issue pushed by Duke was the requirement that welfare recipients be tested for the use of narcotics. The recipients had to show themselves to be drug-free to receive state and federal benefits under his proposal.[46]
Gomez recalls having met and interviewed Duke in the middle 1970s when Duke was a state senate candidate: "He was still in his mid-20s and very non-descript. Tall and slimly built, he had a very prominent nose, flat cheek bones, a slightly receding chin and straight dark brown hair. The interview turned out to be quite innocuous, and I hadn't thought about it again until Duke came to my legislative desk, and we shook hands. Who was this guy? Tall and well-built with a perfect nose, a model's cheek bones, prominent chin, blue eyes and freshly coiffed blond hair, he looked like a movie star. He obviously didn't remember from the radio encounter, and I was content to leave it at that."[47]
Consistent with Gomez's observation, Duke in the latter 1980s reportedly had his nose thinned and chin augmented. Following his election to the Louisiana House of Representatives, he shaved his mustache.[48][49][50]
Gomez continued: "He once presented a bill on the floor, one of the few which he had managed to get out of committee. He finished his opening presentation and strolled with great self-satisfaction back up the aisle to his seat. In his mind, he had spoken, made his presentation and that was that. Before he had even reached his desk and re-focused on the proceedings, another first-term member had been recognized for the floor and immediately moved to table the bill. The House voted for the motions effectively killing the bill. That and similar procedures were used against him many times."[51] Gomez said that he recalls Duke obtaining the passage of only a single bill, legislation which prohibited movie producers or book publishers from compensating jurors for accounts of their court experiences.[52]
Gomez added that Duke's "tenure in the House was short and uninspired. Never has anyone parlayed an election by such a narrow margin to such a minor position to such international prominence. He has run for numerous other positions without success but has always had some effect, usually negative, on the outcome."[53]
Gomez continued: Duke's "new message was that he had left the Klan, shed the Nazi uniform he had proudly worn in many previous appearances, and only wanted to serve the people. He eliminated his high-octane anti-Semitic rhetoric. He was particularly concerned with the plight of 'European-Americans.' He never blatantly spoke of race as a factor but referred to the 'growing underclass.' He used the tried and true demagoguery of class envy to sell his message: excessive taxpayers' money spent on welfare, school busing practices, affirmative action... and set-aside programs. He also embraced a subject near and dear to every Jefferson Parish voter, protection of the homestead exemption."[54]
Duke launched unsuccessful campaigns for the U.S. Senate in 1990 and governor in 1991. Villere did not again seek office but instead concentrated his political activity within the Republican organization.[55]
Duke has often criticized federal policies which he believes discriminate against white people in favor of racial minorities. To that end he formed the controversial group, the "National Association for the Advancement of White People".[56]
Though Duke had first hesitated about entering the Senate race, he made his announcement of candidacy for the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 6, 1990. As it turned out, Duke was the only Republican in competition against three Democrats including incumbent U.S. Senator J. Bennett Johnston, Jr., of Shreveport,[57] whom Duke derided as "J. Benedict Johnston".[58]
Former Governor David Treen, whose brother, John Treen, Duke had defeated for state representative in 1989, called Duke's senatorial platform "garbage. ... I think he is bad for our party because of his espousal of Nazism and racial superiority."[59]
The Republican Party officially endorsed state Senator Ben Bagert of New Orleans in a state convention held on January 13, 1990, but national GOP officials in October, just days before the primary election, concluded that Bagert could not win. To avoid a runoff between Duke and Johnston, the GOP decided to surrender the primary to Johnston. Funding for Bagert's campaign was halted, and though at first under protest Bagert dropped out two days before the election. With such a late withdrawal, Bagert's name remained on the ballot, but his votes, most presumably cast as absentee ballots, were not counted.[60][61] Duke received 43.51 percent (607,391 votes) of the primary vote to Johnston's 53.93 percent (752,902 votes).[57]
Duke's views prompted some of his critics (including Republicans, such as the journalist Quin Hillyer) to form the Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism, which directed media attention to Duke's statements of hostility to blacks and Jews.[62]
In a 2006 editorial, Gideon Rachman (The Economist, the Financial Times) recalled interviewing Duke's campaign manager (from his 1990 campaign) who said, "The Jews just aren't a big issue in Louisiana. We keep telling David, stick to attacking the blacks. There's no point in going after the Jews, you just piss them off and nobody here cares about them anyway."[63]
Despite repudiation by the Republican Party,[64] Duke ran for governor of Louisiana in 1991. In the primary, Duke finished second to former governor Edwin W. Edwards in votes; thus, he faced Edwards in a runoff. In the initial round, Duke received 32 percent of the vote. Incumbent Governor Buddy Roemer, who had switched from the Democratic to Republican parties during his term, came in third with 27 percent of the vote. Duke effectively killed Roemer's bid for re-election. While Duke had a sizable core constituency of devoted supporters, many voted for him as a "protest vote" to register dissatisfaction with Louisiana's establishment politicians. During the campaign, Duke said he was the spokesman for the "white majority"[65] and, according to the New York Times, "equated the extermination of Jews in Nazi Germany with affirmative action programs in the United States."[66]
The Christian Coalition of America, which exerted considerable impact on the Republican State Central Committee, was led in Louisiana by its national director and vice president, Billy McCormack, then the pastor of University Worship Center in Shreveport. The coalition was accused of having failed to investigate Duke in the early part of his political resurgence. By the time of the 1991 gubernatorial election, however, its leadership had withdrawn support from Duke.[67] Despite Duke's status as the only Republican in the runoff, sitting Republican President George H.W. Bush opposed his candidacy and denounced him as charlatan and a racist.[66] White House Chief of Staff John Sununu stated that "The President is absolutely opposed to the kind of racist statements that have come out of David Duke now and in the past."[68]
The Louisiana Coalition against Racism and Nazism rallied against the election of Duke as governor. Beth Rickey, a moderate member of the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee and a PhD student at Tulane University, began to follow Duke to record his speeches and expose what she saw as instances of racist and neo-Nazi remarks. For a time, Duke took Rickey to lunch, introduced her to his daughters, telephoned her late at night, and tried to convince her of his worldview: the Holocaust was a myth, Josef Mengele (the Aushwitz physician who performed experiments on Jews and selected which prisoners would die) was a medical genius, and blacks and Jews were responsible for various social ills. Rickey released transcripts of their conversations to the press. She also provided evidence establishing that Duke sold Nazi literature (including Mein Kampf) from his legislative office, and that he had gone to neo-Nazi political gatherings while he held elective office.[69][70]
Between the primary and the runoff, called the "general election" under Louisiana election rules (in which all candidates run on one ballot, regardless of party), white supremacist organizations from around the country contributed to his campaign fund.[71][72]
Duke's success garnered national media attention. While Duke gained the backing of the quixotic former Alexandria Mayor John K. Snyder, he won few serious endorsements in Louisiana. Celebrities and organizations donated thousands to Edwards' campaign. Referencing Edwards' long-standing problem with accusations of corruption, popular bumper stickers read: "Vote for the Crook. It's Important",[73][74] and "Vote for the Lizard, not the Wizard." When a reporter asked Edwards what he needed to do to triumph over Duke, Edwards replied with a smile: "Stay alive."
Edwards received 1,057,031 votes (61.2%). Duke's 671,009 votes represented 38.8% of the total. Duke claimed victory, saying: "I won my constituency. I won 55% of the white vote." Exit polls confirmed that he had.[18]
In 1992 Duke ran for the nomination. Republican Party officials tried to block his participation.[75] He received 119,115 (0.94%) votes[76] in the primaries, but no delegates to the national convention. His presidential campaign inspired a song by Skankin' Pickle.[77]
In 1992 a film was released that investigated Duke's appeal among some white voters. Backlash: Race and the American Dream explored the demagogic issues of Duke's platform, examining his use of black crime, welfare, affirmative action and white supremacy and tied Duke to a legacy of other white backlash politicians, such as Lester G. Maddox and George C. Wallace, Jr., and the use in the 1988 Presidential campaign of Pres. George H.W. Bush of these same racially themed hot buttons.[78]
When Johnston announced his retirement in 1996, Duke ran again for the U.S. Senate. He polled 141,489 votes (11.5%). Former Republican state representative Woody Jenkins of Baton Rouge and Democrat Mary Landrieu of New Orleans, the former state treasurer, went into the general election contest. Duke was fourth in the nine-person, jungle primary race.[79]
Because of the sudden resignation of powerful Republican incumbent Bob Livingston in 1999, a special election was held in Louisiana's First Congressional District. Duke sought the seat as a Republican and received 19% of the vote. He finished a close third, thus failing to make the runoff. His candidacy was repudiated by the Republicans.[80] Republican Party chairman Jim Nicholson remarked: "There is no room in the party of Lincoln for a Klansman like David Duke."[80] Republican state representative David Vitter (now a U.S. Senator) went on to defeat Republican ex-Governor David C. Treen. Also in the race was the New Orleans Republican leader Rob Couhig.
In 1999 Duke ran for Louisiana's First Congressional District. Duke finished third in the May 1, 1999 election with 28,059 votes (19.15%).[81]
In 2004, Duke's bodyguard, roommate, and longtime associate Roy Armstrong made a bid for the United States House of Representatives, running as a Democrat, to serve Louisiana's First Congressional District. In the open primary Armstrong finished second in the six candidate field with 6.69% of the vote, but Republican Bobby Jindal received 78.40% winning the seat.[82] Duke was the head advisor of Armstrong's campaign.[83][84]
In 1974, David Duke founded the Louisiana-based Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (KKKK), a Louisiana Ku Klux Klan organization, shortly after graduating from LSU.[85] He became Grand Wizard of the KKKK. A follower of Duke, Thomas Robb, changed the title of Grand Wizard to National Director, and replaced the Klan's white robes with business suits.[86] Duke first received broad public attention during this time, as he endeavored to market himself in the mid-1970s as a new brand of Klansman: well-groomed, engaged, and professional. Duke also reformed the organization, promoting nonviolence and legality, and, for the first time in the Klan's history, women were accepted as equal members and Catholics were encouraged to apply for membership.[87] Duke would repeatedly insist that the Klan was "not anti-black", but rather "pro-white" and "pro-Christian."
In 1980, Duke left the Klan and formed the National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP).[88]
Duke has expressed his support for Holocaust denier Ernst Zündel, a German who lived in Canada. Duke made a number of statements in support of Zündel and his Holocaust denial campaign.[89][90][91][92] After the aging Zündel was deported from Canada to Germany[93] and imprisoned in Germany on charges of inciting the masses to ethnic hatred,[94] Duke referred to him as a "political prisoner".
In September 2005, Duke received a Kandidat Nauk degree in History from the Ukrainian Interregional Academy of Personnel Management (MAUP).[95]
His doctoral thesis was titled "Zionism as a Form of Ethnic Supremacism."[95] Anti-Defamation League claims that MAUP is the main source of antisemitic activity and publishing in Ukraine,[96] and its "anti-Semitic actions" were "strongly condemned" by Foreign Minister Borys Tarasyuk and various organizations.[97][98][99][100] The Anti-Defamation League describes it as a "University of Hate".[101] Duke has taught an international relations and a history course at MAUP.[102]
In 1995, Don Black and Chloê Hardin, Duke's ex-wife, began a small bulletin board system (BBS) called Stormfront. Today, Stormfront has become a prominent online forum for white nationalism, Neo-Nazism, hate speech and racism.[103][104][105] Duke has an account on Stormfront which he uses to post articles from his own website, www.davidduke.com, as well as polling forum members for opinions and questions, in particular during his internet broadcasts. Duke has worked with Don Black on numerous projects including Operation Red Dog in 1980.[106][107]
Shortly after his release from prison for tax fraud in 2004, Duke organized a weekend gathering of "European Nationalists", in the vein of white nationalism, in Kenner, Louisiana. In an attempt to overcome the splintering and division that had followed the death of William Pierce in 2002, he presented a unity proposal for peace within the movement and a better image amongst outsiders. His proposal was accepted and is now known as the New Orleans Protocol (NOP). It pledges adherents to a pan-European outlook, recognizing national and ethnic allegiance, but stressing the value of all European peoples. Signed by and sponsored by a number of white supremacist leaders and organisations, it has three provisions:[108][109]
Those who signed the pact on May 29, 2004 include Duke, Paul Fromm, Don Black, Willis Carto (whose holocaust-denying Barnes Review helped sponsor the event), Kevin Alfred Strom, and John Tyndall (signing as an individual, not on behalf of his British National Party).[108] It was also adopted by the white supremacist Canadian Heritage Alliance.[110]
The SPLC noted that the 'high tone' contrasted with statements at the event where the pact was signed such as Paul Fromm's calling a Muslim woman "a hag in a bag" and Sam Dickson (from the Council of Conservative Citizens, another sponsor) speaking "about the "very, very destructive" effect of opposing the Nazis in World War II – opposition that caused people to view Hitler's "normal, healthy racial values" as evil.[108] They described the Protocol as a "smokescreen", saying that "most of conference participants' ire was directed at what they consider to be a worldwide Jewish conspiracy to destroy the white race through immigration and miscegenation".[111]
Duke wrote a self-help book for women to raise money under the pseudonym Dorothy Vanderbilt and James Konrad, titled Finders-Keepers – Finding and Keeping the Man You Want which contains sexual, diet, fashion, cosmetic and relationship advice, published by Arlington Place Books in 1976. Professor Lawrence N. Powell, who read a rare copy of the book given to him by Patsy Sims, wrote that it includes advice on vaginal exercises, fellatio, and anal sex.[112][113][114] The book is out of print and difficult to find; however, according to Tyler Bridges, The Times-Picayune obtained a copy and traced its proceeds to Duke[115] who compiled the information from women's self-help magazines.[18]
Duke published his autobiography My Awakening: A Path to Racial Understanding in 1998. The book details Duke's social philosophies, especially his reasoning behind racial separation. In the book, Duke says:
We (Whites) desire to live in our own neighborhoods, go to our own schools, work in our own cities and towns, and ultimately live as one extended family in our own nation. We shall end the racial genocide of integration. We shall work for the eventual establishment of a separate homeland for African Americans, so each race will be free to pursue its own destiny without racial conflicts and ill will.[8]
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) book review refers to it as containing racist, antisemitic, sexist and homophobic views.[116]
To raise the money to re-publish a new, updated edition of My Awakening, Duke instigated a 21-day fundraising drive on November 26, 2007 where he had to raise "$25,344 by a December 17 deadline for the printers."[117] Duke states this drive is necessary because the work "has become the most important book in the entire world in the effort to awaken our people for our heritage and freedom."
In 2002, Duke traveled to Eastern Europe to promote his book, Jewish Supremacism: My Awakening on the Jewish Question in Russia in 2003. The book purports to "examine and document elements of ethnic supremacism that have existed in the Jewish community from historical to modern times."[118] The book is dedicated to Israel Shahak, a critical author of what Shahak saw as supremacist religious teachings in Jewish culture. Former Boris Yeltsin administration official and politician Boris Mironov wrote an introduction for the Russian edition, called The Jewish Question Through the Eyes of an American.
The ADL office in Moscow urged the Moscow prosecutor to open an investigation of Mironov. The ADL office initiated a letter from a prominent Duma member to Russia's Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov, urging a criminal case be opened against the author and the Russian publisher of Duke's book. The letter by Aleksandr Fedulov described the book as antisemitic and, incorrectly, as violating Russian anti-hate crime laws.[119] Around December 2001 Prosecutor's office closed the investigation of Boris Mironov and Jewish Supremacism. In a public letter, Yury Biryukov, First Deputy of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, stated that a socially-psychological examination, which was conducted as a part of the investigation, concluded that the book and the actions of Boris Mironov did not break Russian hate-crime laws.[120]
Duke says his views had been "vindicated" with the publication of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy by professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, and said he was "surprised how excellent [the paper] is". Duke dedicated several radio webcasts to the book and the authors comparing it to his work Jewish Supremacism,[121][122][123][124] although Walt stated: "I have always found Mr. Duke's views reprehensible, and I am sorry he sees this article as consistent with his view of the world".[125]
Duke says that his books "have become two of the two most influential and important books in the world."[126] The ADL refer to the book as antisemitic,[127] though Duke had denied the book is motivated by antisemitism.[128] At one time, the book was sold in the main lobby of the building of Russian State Duma (lower house of parliament). The first printing of 5,000 copies sold out in several weeks.
In 2004, the book was published in the United States. Originally published in English and Russian, the book has subsequently been translated internationally into Swedish, Ukrainian, Persian, Hungarian, Spanish[126] and most recently (2010) into Finnish (ISBN 978-952-92-8137-4). In 2007, an updated edition was published[129] which Duke purports to be a "fine quality hardback edition with full color dust jacket and it has a new index and a number of timely additions".[126]
His website has hosted articles by various authors claiming that Jewish loan-sharks own the Federal Reserve Bank[130] and that Jews own Hollywood and the American media.[131]
On February 5, 2002, Duke said, on his Internet radio show, that Ariel Sharon was "the world's worst terrorist" and that Mossad was involved in the September 11 attacks. The broadcast said that Zionists were behind the attacks in order to reduce sympathy for Muslim nations in the West, and that the number of Israelis killed in the attack was lower than it would be under normal circumstances, citing early assessments by The Jerusalem Post and "the legendary involvement of Israeli nationals in businesses at the World Trade Center". According to Duke, this indicated that Israeli security services had prior knowledge of the attack.[132]
On February 4, 2009, Duke repeatedly called MSNBC pundit Keith Olbermann "untermensch" on his radio show in response to being labeled "Worst Person in the World" on Countdown with Keith Olbermann.
On November 24, 2005, Duke visited Damascus, Syria, addressing a rally which was broadcast on Syrian television, and later giving an interview.[133][134] During the rally, he referred to Israel as a "war-mongering country" and stated that Zionists "occupy most of the American media and now control much of the American government…It is not just the West Bank of Palestine, it is not just the Golan Heights that are occupied by the Zionists, but Washington D.C. and New York and London and many other capitals of the world." He concluded by stating: "Your fight for freedom is the same as our fight for freedom." After speaking at the rally, Duke gave an interview where he said that Israel "makes the Nazi state look very, very moderate." Syrian parliament member Muhammad Habash later stated that Duke's visit gave Syrians a "new and very positive view of the average American."[133][135][136]
Since 2005, Duke has appeared three times on Current Issues, a Lafayette, Louisiana–based television show hosted and produced by Palestinian-American Hesham Tillawi, which has recently been picked up by Bridges TV. Show host Tillawi gave Duke the opportunity to discourse at length about his beliefs about Jewish supremacism. On a show in October 2005, Duke claimed that Jewish extremists are responsible for undermining the morality of America and are attempting to "wash the world in blood."[137]
After John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt's paper on the Israel Lobby appeared in March 2006, Duke praised the paper in a number of articles on his website, on his March 18 Live Web Radio Broadcast, and on MSNBC's March 21 Scarborough Country program.[138] According to The New York Sun, Duke said in an email, "It is quite satisfying to see a body in the premier American university essentially come out and validate every major point I have been making since even before the war even started." Duke added that "the task before us is to wrest control of America's foreign policy and critical junctures of media from the Jewish extremist Neocons that seek to lead us into what they expectantly call World War IV."
Duke organized a gathering of European Nationalists who signed the New Orleans Protocol on May 29, 2004. The signatories agreed to avoid infighting among far-right racialists.
On June 3, 2005, Duke co-chaired a conference named "Zionism As the Biggest Threat to Modern Civilization" in Ukraine, sponsored by the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management. The conference was attended by several notable Ukrainian public figures and politicians, and writer Israel Shamir.[139]
Duke claims that Swedish police thwarted an attempted assassination against him, in August 2005, while Duke was speaking in Sweden.[140]
On the weekend of June 8–10, 2006, Duke attended as a speaker at the international "White World's Future" conference in Moscow, which was coordinated and hosted by Pavel Tulaev.[141] From December 11–13, he Duke attended the International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust in Tehran, Iran, opened by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, stating "The Holocaust is the device used as the pillar of Zionist imperialism, Zionist aggression, Zionist terror and Zionist murder."[142]
Duke attended the conference, along with Gazi Hussein (Syria); Dr Rahmandost (conference chair, Society for Supporting People of Palestine); Jan Bernhoff, a Swedish computer science teacher who maintains that 300,000 Jews died during the Holocaust;[143] and Fredrick Töben, director of the Adelaide Institute, Australia.
In Troubled Memory: Anne Levy, the Holocaust and David Duke's Louisiana[144][145] by Professor Lawrence N. Powell, who teaches at Tulane University history department and was a founding member of Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism, depicts the "story of Anne Skorecki Levy, a Holocaust survivor who transformed the horrors of her childhood into a passionate mission to defeat the political menace of reputed neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke." [146]
David Duke pleaded guilty to the felony charge of filing a false tax return under 26 U.S.C. § 7206 and mail fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1341 in December 2002.[147]
Four months later, Duke was sentenced to 15 months in prison, and he served the time in Big Spring, Texas. He was also fined US$10,000, ordered to cooperate with the Internal Revenue Service, and to pay money still owed for his 1998 taxes. Following his release in May 2004, he stated that his decision to take the plea bargain was motivated by the bias that he perceived in the United States federal court system and not his guilt. He said he felt the charges were contrived to derail his political career and discredit him to his followers, and that he took the safe route by pleading guilty and receiving a mitigated sentence, rather than pleading not guilty and potentially receiving the full sentence.
Duke pleaded guilty to what prosecutors described as a six-year scheme to dupe thousands of his followers by asking for donations. Through postal mail, Duke later appealed to his supporters that he was about to lose his house and his life savings. Prosecutors claimed that Duke raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in this campaign. Prosecutors also claimed he sold his home at a hefty profit, had multiple investment accounts, and spent much of his money gambling at casinos.[148][149][150]
The entire file of court documents related to this case can be found at The Smoking Gun[151] website, including details on the December 12, 2002 guilty plea to federal charges that he filed a false tax return and committed mail fraud.
Don Black claims that Duke was targeted by the government to discredit him.[152]

On April 24, 2009, Duke, who had arrived in the Czech Republic on invitation by a Czech neo-Nazi Group known as Národní Odpor ("National Resistance") to deliver three lectures in Prague and Brno to promote the translation of his book My Awakening into the Czech language.[153] He was arrested on suspicion of "denying or approving of the Nazi genocide and other Nazi crimes" and "promotion of movements seeking suppression of human rights," which are crimes in the Czech Republic punishable by up to three years' imprisonment. At the time of his arrest, Duke was reportedly guarded by members of the Národní Odpor.[154][155]
The Czech police accused Duke of promoting movements suppressing human rights.[156][157][158] The police released him early on April 25, 2009, on condition that he leave the country by midnight that same day.[159][160]
Duke's first lecture had been scheduled at Charles University in Prague, but it was canceled after university officials learned that neo-Nazis were planning to attend.[161] Some Czech politicians, including Interior Minister Ivan Langer and Human Rights and Minorities Minister Michael Kocáb, had previously expressed opposition to Duke's being allowed into the country.[154]
In September 2009, the office of the District Prosecutor for Prague dropped all charges, explaining that there was no evidence that David Duke had committed any crime.[162]
An Italian court ruled to expel Duke from Italy, reported Reuters in December 2013.[163] The 63-year-old Duke was living in a mountain village in Italy. Although Duke had been issued a visa to live in Malta and write, Italian police later found that Switzerland had issued a residence ban against Duke throughout a group of 26 countries including Italy. Duke's attorney said he had not decided, as of December 5, 2013 whether or not to appeal the decision.[163]
Duke claimed that thousands of Tea Party movement activists had urged him to run for president in 2012[164][165] and he was seriously considering entering the Republican Party primaries.[165] However, Duke ultimately did not contest the primaries (won by Mitt Romney) or the 2012 presidential election, which was won by Barack Obama.[166]

February 1, 2015
(AP) An 85-year-old table tennis champ said it's getting tough to find worthy competition. Dorothy Peterson, of North Mankato, recently returned from the Huntsman World Senior Games in Utah. She won the gold medal, but said the only other person in her age division is rather frail and might not compete next year.
She was one of the oldest female participants of the 9,000-plus competitors.
Peterson said if there's no competition she'll just continue using her home Robo-Pong machine, which tosses balls at her.
She said she'd love to see a table-tennis club started in Mankato, similar to the one in Harlingen, Texas, where she lives every January to April.
Peterson said her forte is the backspin she puts on her backhand shots.

Excellent, I can't wait. My moneys on a villain, Stinkor perhaps?
May figure is Catra.
The newest 2-pack will be Green Lantern and Zodac with white gloves.
The face-forward photos of Catra and the 2-pack are in issue 163 of ToyFare.
ToyFare has requested for these images from their magazine not to be posted online for one month.
We honor such requests as sales of the magazine are how they stay in business.
Please do not post scans/photos of the images from ToyFare here on He-Man.org,
offer to provide scans/photos of or links to the images in private
or post links on He-Man.org to any site that is not giving ToyFare the same courtesy as He-Man.org by showing such scans/photos.

The January Issue is going to be the issue to get!3.) Mysterious Stranger asks: Toy Fair is just around the corner. Any hints as to what we can look forward to seeing in the MOTUC line? Not asking to reveal specific characters, just an idea of how many figures we could potentially see. Perhaps the rest of the first half of 2011 figures?
Likely about the same number of figures we showed last year. Although the May figure will be shown before then in the Jan shipping issue of Toy Fare!

Sagitar 200X Prince Adam 200X Sorceress Evilseed (MYP)
Excellent, I can't wait. My moneys on a villain, Stinkor perhaps?
The May figure is a woman, replacing the Faceless One. Might be Catra!
The Blonde Teela (Battleground and Alcala Teela) Thread
MegaGearMax's 200X/MYP Screen Grabs
Sagitar 200X Prince Adam 200X Sorceress Evilseed (MYP)
We are horrendously overdue for a NA character. I say Flipshot or Slush Head.
PoP Variants are part of the vintage line, too! Starburst She-Ra, Shower Power Catra, and Scratchin' Sound Catra for 2015!!!
Wasn't May figure confirmed as ending up being a female figure?
My bet is Glimmer or some other Pop figure. Historically, May always seem to be like a testing ground (Zodac & Optikk) for a posterior must have figure for June & July alongside SDCC figure.
Great trade orgers: Son of Keldor - sdilks -JeMaBo2 x3 - Kowl - Bigassbuzz (Hyveofvillany) - Queen Marlena - mikescab
My feedback thread
April showers brings Queen Marlena May flowers.
A woman is long overdue. Glad to know another reveal is coming. I wonder if mattycollector will still not be allowing me to buy anything next May? I would love for them to let me collect MOTUC again.
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
I'm betting on Catra.
This will fill the newly stated female for May, one of the 4 promised females for 2011, and will bring the Evil Horde total to 3 (believe that this year the army builder will be Snake Men, quickly evening (minimally) out the Evil Horde & Snake Men factions).
Top Ten MOTUC wants: Sagitar, Great Black Wizard, Fang-or, Dragstor, Peekablue, Skeletor's Skeleton Warriors, Despara, Evil Seed (all era) w/Odiphus, Illumina w/Sleetah, Lady Slither
SANTO DIOS!!!! Please let it be Catra in May - with 200x Evil-Lyn as the 2nd quarter A-List bonus! 2 females in one month - when I have my birthday - it would be AMAZING!
"Yep! And now I'm gonna blast ya!"
- Orko to Skeletor in "Lessons"
At first I was a little upset at this news! haha. I really want to see a huge display at the Toy Fair.. but, then I realized that Optikk was revealed at last year's Art Show.. So.. the may Figure has been revealed prior to the ToyFair in years past. I'm actually hoping for a POP figure like Castaspella or Glimmer.. but will be happy with Marlena, Catra or really anyone..! This line has been a Sausage Fest for too long. Bring on some ladies!
Cross my fingers on Catra...
.... please .....
I hope it's Catra as well!
If it's not Catra, then I hope it's at least one of these 6 ladies:
- Queen Marlena
- Sorceress
- Castaspella
- Glimmer
- Sweet Bee
- DC Comics Strawberry Blond Bikini Teela with long hair
MY MOTUC WANTS: (Rotar), Songster "Kevin Corrigan", Kittrina, Illumina, (Peekablue), (Perfuma), Master Sebrian, Sagitar, Tuskador, Darius, Kayo, Vizar, Nocturna, Spinwit, Artilla, (Saurod), (Twistoid), Evil Seed 200X, "Karg", Lord Masque, Hunga the Harpy, Lodar, Mask of Power Demons, (Dragstor), Vultak, Calix, Lizorr, Hoove, Critta, Quakke, Butthead, Staghorn
=> MOTU-Classics-Checklist <=
I'm sooooo rooting for Catra! But Marlana, Castaspella or Glimmer would all be fantastic. Sweet Bee is nice but I would really prefer to see a more high profile MOTU/POP famale character!
At first I thought Catra, but now I honestly think it will be Queen Marlena.
I can't seem to recall, exactly where did we gather that the main figure for May was a female?
January shipping issue meaning the issue that ships in January or the next issue that happens to be "January"? What I'm trying to say is how long til we find out because I can't wait even though we just saw Sy-Klone, just can't get enough!
I think it's marlena as well, because the answer that states we will find out about earth sooner than later!
My MOTUC top wants (POST NYCC 2014):
Filmation:Twiggets - Red Knight - Granita - Hunga the Harpy - Dylamug - Vultak - Enchantress - Kothos - General Tataran - Evil Seed (Filmation artichoke) - Masque - Sybiline (with a pack-in Gorgon) - Melaktha
Others: Despara - toy version of Catra - Veena - Master Sebrian - Drissi - Caz - Andros - Sorceress (NA comics version)- Kex Queen - Lodar
The Blonde Teela (Battleground and Alcala Teela) Thread
MegaGearMax's 200X/MYP Screen Grabs
Sagitar 200X Prince Adam 200X Sorceress Evilseed (MYP)
I'm a bit anxious for a two pack. I'm betting on Horde troopers. One from the original toy and another from the 200X or a Horde sorcerer like the ones we saw in the King Grayskull episode.
We survived the long night.... MOTU Forever!
I really want Queen Marlena.
It doesn't matter to me at this point whether she's wearing her gown or armor, I just want her.
We've got Adam, Adora, & Randor, we need Marlena.
"Somewhere, a queen is weeping, somewhere, a king, has no wife..." Jimi Hendrix
I want my other half.
According to the magic eightball, all signs point to Catra, with Clawdeen being a 2012 beast.
Does Galactus fart?
I'd love to see Catra or Sorceress as the May Figure.

My guesses/hopes:
MAY: Queen Marlena, Catra, Frosta, or Glimmer

Wonder Woman VS She-Ra and Man-At-Arms VS Batman (and I really want it to be the Super Powers look for the DC characters!)
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

For example, we would like to monitor and continuously record a television program until a particular segment appears. Then have the ability for the operator to stop, rewind to a particular frame, then screen capture the image and export it to a standard jpg on the same PC.
I'm not sure whether current technologies can handle this efficiently, but thought I would see what others can share on the topic. Thanks in advance.
Also, you could just buy a "Media Center". Lost of computer manufatures offer them, and they have all this already set up for you. Most of them even have remote controls. Just Google PC "Media Center" [google.com] and you'll com up with ways to create your own "Home Theater" using your computer.
Hope this helps
-- Zak
It looks like the XP Media Center will do the TiVo-style recording, playback, etc., and I may be able to use a standard screen capture (through CompuPic) to handle the conversion to jpg.

Andrei's research is in NLP.
In the programming community, Andrei is best known for his two books, C++ Coding Standards (coathored with Herb Sutter) and Modern C++ Design. Also, Andrei is a former columnist for C/C++ Users Journal, a former columnist for the C++ Report, and a sought-after speaker at conferences worldwide.
Andrei's less-known past includes stints as a rock band drummer, a classical guitar player, a paratrooper in the Romanian military, and a consultant on Wall Street. As of now, outside attending grad school, Andrei keeps many and varied interests, but given that he doesn't have any free time, discussing them is a moot point.
If you are thinking of buying either C++ Coding Standards or Modern C++ Design, clicking on the links on this page will take you to Amazon Associates links that automatically give Andrei some percentage of the sales (there's no extra cost to you).
But before shopping from Amazon, do some comparison shopping (by clicking on the two following links) for C++ Coding Standards and Modern C++ Design—you might find suprisingly good deals.
News (newest news first. Updated ):
October 30th, 2006: Andrei will give a 15-minutes talk during University of Washington's Industrial Affiliates Meeting.
June 26th, 2006: Andrei is proud to use and mirror the Zero debugger for Linux. The Zero debugger is an amazing feat of software engineering even if you forgot it's actually the creation of a sole programmer—Cristi Vlasceanu (who also came up with the name Loki for the now well-known library. It's the perfect debugger. If you use C++ on Linux, Zero will make you very, very happy. Download the first release of Zero to ever hit the Net!
May 17, 2006: Andrei talked for the Northwest C++ Users Group.
March 22, 2006: Loki enters top 100 most active projects on Sourceforge, mainly due to the great work of a burgeoning community led by Peter Kümmel and Richard Sposato.
March 21, 2006: Amazon's top 20 has never seen a nastier nose! Andrei's mugshot makes it in top 20 customer images on Amazon. Needless to say, you're kindly encouraged to keep that nose there with your vote.
January 27, 2006: In only two weeks, AdSense has brought a whopping $5.17. That rendered Andrei so ecstatic, he wrote Secure Copy Improved (scpi) , basically scp able to resume broken transfers. In addition to its resume ability, scpi features advanced compression and the ability to transfer files from multiple sources in a shot. Enjoy!
January 13, 2006: It's Friday the 13th! What a good time to start playing with AdSense: . Heck, what wouldn't a grad student do for a few cents more? Please let Andrei know if you find them annoying.
July 19, 2005: Loki is growing: Peter K�mmel branches off the release entitled "loki-book-1st-edition-version" in Loki's home on Sourceforge. This is in order to provide a reference implementation for Modern C++ Design, as well as allow Loki to grow beyond the confines of its book. Peter has many exciting ideas to improve Loki, stay tuned for more or even login to Sourceforge and let us know if you'd like to participate to the Loki library.
July 14, 2005: Andrei's site gets a new name! (Brownie points if you figure out where "erdani" comes from.)
June 21, 2005: Loki, the famous library introduced by Modern C++ Design, is now part of the Debian OS distribution. Click here for an overview, and here for details of the package. Thanks Martin F. Krafft for pushing this through!
May 11, 2005: An inexpensive English (in addition to Traditional Chinese) edition of C++ Coding Standards will be published in People's Republic of China.
March 28, 2005: Let's try those French skills... Le livre «C++ Coding Standards» sera traduit en français par Pearson Education France.
March 16, 2005: C++ Coding Standards wins the Jolt Productivity Award. (Note that that's not the "big" one, the Jolt Award, which was won by Better, Lighter, Faster Java. Congrats to Bruce A. Tate and Justin Gehtland, as well as to all other finalists.)
March 7, 2005: IEEE Computing reviews publishes a review of C++ Coding Standards by Martin Schweitzer. This is a members-only site, so let's only reproduce a few words that convey the feel of the entire review:
"I am pleased to say that this book has almost made the need for a company to have its own coding standard obsolete. The book gathers together 101 best practices, and presents them in a form that makes them easy to implement as a coding standard. Of course, if the book was just a coding standard, it would not be as useful as it is. The work is a lot more than a set of standards or guidelines..."
February 12th, 2005: Announcement: thanks to the geniuses who designed either Windows Firewall's persistent storage, Windows Update, or both, this site was down for "maintenance" for more than a week. (Notice the grammatical malice.)
February 9th, 2005: UNIXReview.com publishes a glowing review of C++ Coding Standards.
December 13th, 2004: C++ Coding Standards is already to be translated in Japanese and Korean. Konnichiwa! An-nyung-ha-se-yo?
October 29th: Order now! Andrei's second book, C++ Coding Standards, written with his long time friend Herb Sutter, has hit the shelves. Amazon has it for 40% off. (The first printing sold like hot cake in less than a month; 2nd printing is coming in a matter of days, so you may want to preorder.)
September 10: Andrei initiates and coauthors what is likely to be a long saga: an effort for standardizing support for multithreaded execution in C++.
June 16: An inexpensive edition of Modern C++ Design is to be published in India.
April 16-17: Andrei's talk on multithreading (one of his two talks at the ACCU conference Spring 2004) drew the record attendance of 138 people, number surpassed only by keynotes. It didn't help that the air conditioning wasn't working. Nobody fainted though.
March 18-19: Andrei gave four (yes, that's four!) talks at Software Development Conference and Expo West 2004, namely: Exception-Safe Code Made Easy, Write Less Code and More Software, C++ Multithreading Made Complicated, Part 1: Techniques and Idioms for Thread-safe Objects, and (somewhat predictably) C++ Multithreading Made Complicated, Part 2: Single-Object and Multi-Object Transactions.
March 1: Looks like Modern C++ Design's Czech translation is underway. That would be the eighth language in which the book is translated. Ah, almost forgot about the Polish translation which is now complete. If you want to see Modern C++ Design translated in your language, you may want to lobby a publisher specialized in that language by simply writing them.
November 10: Together with Scott Meyers and Herb Sutter, Andrei participated to The Future of C++ panel at the Overlake Hospital Conference Center in Bellevue, WA. It was a loot!
October 17: Andrei undeservedly makes it into the Wikipedia, perhaps introduced by a kind anonymous friend. It is perhaps the only place ever where Andrei is being mentioned in the same place as Turing, Knuth, or Buffett :o). Thank you!
September 16: Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Modern C++ Design gets translated in Kant's language!
September 17-18: Andrei gave two talks at Software Development Best Practices, Boston, MA.
September 11: Man, it feels good to be a gangstah... the song says, but it feels even better to be a Romanian. Cultural affinity? High skill? Good education? Um, we can do that :o).
September 11: Proud Edison's followers at MailPort25 Inc. are on their way to patent email whitelists. It's as simple as collecting known addresses onto a list, asking for a "are you a human being" confirmation, and storing unconfirmed messages in a purgatory in the meantime. Now the problem is that Andrei was implementing the same idea underway (idea that, let's face it, is as obvious as it gets) for his own little email system, without worrying that it would occur to some genius to patent it along with the kitchen sink. But how can you mess with Uncle Sam, who MailPort25 claims to have on their side (quote: "Any reproduction or duplication of this process without the expressed written consent of MailPort25, Inc. is strictly forbidden and violators will be subject to punishment pursuant the governing laws of the United States of America"). Best proof that the idea is not as unique as a lawyer would like to make you believe, the folks at Email101 claim that the technology is "unique" to them. Nicely enough, they don't try to rub shoulders with Uncle Sam at the same time. Research goes on. Were typelists patented yet?
September 5: Enable Software offers commercial support for the popular Loki library authored by Andrei and contributed to by many enthusiasts.
March 24-28: Andrei gave one talk at Software Development 2003 West 2003, Santa Clara, CA, USA.
November 21, 2002: Andrei faced two red-eye flights in 48 hours to give (for free!) two invited talks at SD East, all that without missing a beat on teaching and research. But, make sure you turn that red-eye reduction feature on, should you take his mug shot. The talks are: Discriminated Unions: Concept, Uses, and a C++ Implementation and Single-Object and Multi-Object Multithreaded Transactions in C++. They are quite cool, especially the latter one, which always elicits vivid participation from attendees. Must be because anybody who's done threads and has the scars to prove it develops a sort of co-dependent relationship with the subject.
November 8: "I can't believe it's MSVC 6!" Benjamin Kaufmann wrote the most complete port of Loki to Microsoft Visual C++ 6 (Service Pack 5). If you've ever thought of doing something similar, you'd know just what a great job Benjamin did.
November 4: Andrei gets to OOPSLA through the backdoor :o}. He replaced Detlef Vollmann (who needed to cancel his trip) in presenting the tutorial Aspect-Oriented Programming in C++. In a press statement, Andrei denied any involvement with Vollmann's trip cancellation.
October 29: CodeCraft features "Efficient Generic Sorting and Searching in C++ (I): In Search of a Better Search". You may want to mosey around CodeCraft, it has good content (you bet!)
October 15: Modern C++ Design goes Russian!
July 18, 2002: Modern C++ Design's translation in Romanian hits the shelves! Title: Programarea moderna in C++, Teora publishing house, 2002.
May 31, 2002: Andrei doesn't enjoy giving interviews, but he couldn't pass an opportunity to rant about why writing is worth it, and to dispense advice to anyone who wouldn't mind listening. Or reading. See his online interview with InformIT.
May 24, 2002: The long-awaited online errata list for Modern C++ Design is now online.
May 15, 2002: Sensational! Rani Sharoni ports Loki to VC7 in its entirety!
April 6, 2002: With overwhelming majority, the participants at the Association of C and C++ Users Conference 2002 in England, vote Modern C++ Design as the best C++ book of 2001.

Fire Station Number 6 Gets New Crew Member
POSTED: Thursday, May 28, 2009 - 9:27pm
UPDATED: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:33am
A Brownsville fire station now has a new, one of a kind crew member.
Firefighters at Station Number 6 say, their new crew member is definitely a man's best friend.
These Brownsville Firefighters made a very important rescue.
"We rescued this dog from a certain death."
Firefighter, Marco Longoria says, they were conducting drills, when they found a puppy in the bushes.
Their instincts told them, they needed to save this 2-month old, puppy's life.
"We nursed her back to health."
When firefighters first found her, she was dehydrated, skinny, couldn't even walk, now you can see her tail's wagging, and she's a healthy pup.
So with a smoke-sniffing nose, this pup is Station Number Six's first four-legged firefighter.
Longoria says, "She adds a little pep to the station."
He says, their new friend has it's own unifrom, and own employee file.
Soon, she'll even be going out on fire calls with them too.
Station Six Firefighters are very thankful to Brownsville Organization, "Pets Are Worth Saving", or P.A.W.S. for paying for the dog's shots and health care.

As some Democrats waver over whether the country is "better off today than four years ago," first lady Michelle Obama told ABC "World News" anchor Diane Sawyer her answer is yes, and that Americans "are growing to understand just how much we've accomplished."
The first lady pointed to the end of the war in Iraq, a planned departure from Afghanistan, and an economy "on the brink of collapse," that's "now consistently creating jobs."
During an interview today in Charlotte, the Mrs. Obama also touted President Obama's health care reform law.
"Our grandparents can afford their medicine," she said. "Our kids can stay on our health care until they're 26 years old. I could go on and on and on."
Democrats would like nothing more. Michelle Obama is, with former President Bill Clinton, among the party's most popular figures. She may also be the president's most powerful campaign surrogate.
"I didn't think it was possible," she said during her convention speech Tuesday night, "but, today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago, even more than I did 23 years ago."
Tune in to "World News with Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline" tonight to see Sawyer's full interview with Michelle Obama.

Quoted from susanC I notice that many of you are calculating your carbs on a daily basis. Could you share with me how you do that? Is there an iPhone app? Maybe I need to do some calculating. I have absolutely no idea how many carbs--or calories for that matter--that I take in each day. I basically just try to eat the least I can get away with. Maybe not the greatest strategy.
Quoted from jayneeo ruthie, did you lose weight on that lo-carb route? Maybe it wasn't all about that, but just wondering. I should lose weight and should really be low carb, probably. Grain free helps in that direction, but I don't consciously eat locarb.
Quoted from EquiPro I think one of the best things I have read is from Goldie:"The biggest drag in dieting is Guilt - it builds stress and messes with our intelligence."

Film Review: Emanuelle in America (1977)
SYNOPSIS: Fearless journalist and fashion photographer Emanuelle takes America, amongst other things. In a globetrotting journey which covers as much ground as your average Bond movie, Emanuelle joins a harem, investigates a snuff filmmaker and takes her clothes off a lot, everywhere. REVIEW: The most infamous of the black Emanuelle movies (as opposed to the other one, spelled with two m's), Emanuelle in America is a genre defining bit of filth, which inspired a number … Continue reading

Super Mex's vibrant neon signs have burned 24 hours a day since 1974, beckoning diners in for authentic Mexican fare, drinks, and games of chance. Mexican flags flutter from the rafters and massive flat-screen TVs beam down from colorful walls, illuminating diners as they place bets on the number of bristles in Mark McGwire's goatee. Meanwhile in the kitchen, frying pans simmer with authentic Mexican breakfasts and dinners, along with an extensive menu of healthier entrees—including low-carb options, whole-wheat tortillas, soups, and salads. At some locations, meals can be paired with horchata or buckets of miniature Coronas.
Although originally a Mexican restaurant, these days, Senor Big Ed is more like a trip to Puerto Rico, from the cuisine to the flags on display. And, as Miles Clements writes for the Los Angeles Times, "past those patriotic goods are wispy white curtains and sun-bleached walls…light and bright enough to recall a breezy beach scene despite its landlocked location on Lincoln Avenue." If the decor alone doesn't transport diners, the food will: helpings of mofongo (plantains, pork rinds, and garlic), plus roasted leg of pork and stewed beef impart signature Puerto Rican flavor, not unlike a bite of the fortress walls surrounding Old San Juan.
The family that owns Tacos and Company is dedicated to authenticity. Since they opened the first of their three locations in 1991, they've been crafting burritos, seafood tacos, and steaks by drawing upon techniques honed at Mexico's food stands, rural kitchens, and guacamole rivers. Fresh produce and seafood, lard-free beans, and premium meats—like slow-cooked carnitas—join up with house marinade and daily made salsas. Every single corn chip lands on a plate the day it emerges from the fryer. Vegetarian options abound, too. The eatery's catering skills are praised by clients.
The Taco Surf empire grew from the dream of a father and son who, in 1988, decided to found a restaurant that captured the distinctive flavors as well as the festive spirit of Baja California. Basing the menu on generations-old family recipes, the duo stick to tradition by making everything from crispy tortilla chips to tamales in-house. Charbroiled flank steak, slow-cooked pork, and grilled chicken appear throughout the menu; however, the ocean's influence is unmistakably prominent. The iconic Baja tacos arrive brimming with breaded white fish and drizzled with a signature spicy Baja sauce, which the restaurant generously sells by the bottle and by the thimble.
After the popularity of Anabella and Salvador Corona?s first El Pollo Norteno restaurant in Santa Ana, they began to expand to more locations, each of which serves healthy, homestyle Mexican food. Mesquite charcoal heightens the flavors of charbroiled-chicken dishes, and catering trays liven up parties otherwise filled with awkward silences. Family packs of dinners, along with tacos, burritos, and quesadillas a la carte, feed the entire family.
Although Azteca serves staple south-of-the-border comfort food, the decor isn't what you'd find in a typical Mexican restaurant. To describe it in one word: Elvis. Aside from walls filled with King memorabilia such as bobbleheads and signed posters, Elvis impersonators regularly perform at the eatery's Bobby Vegas Karaoke Club. It's all a part of owner J.J. Jauregui's love for the legendary performer, a love that gives Azteca its distinct character. Nontraditional environment aside, the food itself traces its origins back to 1957, when Jaregui's Aunt Connie served family-recipe burritos on Garden Grove. Today, the menu has expanded to include pork tamales, taquitos, and strip steaks smothered in housemade garlic sauce.

"I used it on a 2.31 pound pork tenderloin, and couldn't have been happier. Even impressed my son-in-law, the cook in the family! My grandkids ate it up like it was candy.

In a decision issued on Tuesday, December 9, 2014, the United States Supreme Court ruled that employees are not entitled to compensation under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") for the time they spend waiting to undergo, and actually do undergo, security screenings. The Court's unanimous decision in Integrity Staffing Solutions, Inc. v. Busk, et al., reverses a judgment of the United States Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit which found that Integrity Staffing employees could state an unpaid wages claim under the FLSA for undergoing a daily security screening because the screenings were required by, and for the benefit of, their employer.
FTC Takes Action Against Unsubstantiated Caffeine-Infused Shapewear Weight-Loss Claims
Wacoal America and Norm Thompson, both manufacturers of women's shapewear, recently entered into consent orders to pay sums of $230,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, and agree to not make any false and misleading future claims that their products cause weight loss, fat loss or eliminate cellulite as the result of FTC enforcement action as the result of making unsubstantiated weight-loss claims. This is yet another reminder that any claims made in advertisements or marketing materials as to weight-loss, fat-loss or cellulite elimination must be substantiated by a scientific study or the manufacturer may face an FTC action and potentially substantial fines.
Out of Africa: Business Summit Focuses On Renewal of AGOA
The United States government in conjunction with the Bloomberg Philanthropies held the first ever US-Africa Business Summit on August 4–6, 2014 to discuss trade opportunities in Africa. A primary focus of discussion at the summit was the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), a regulation passed in 2000 to implement trade benefit provisions for sub-Saharan Africa. A major benefit of AGOA is allowing duty-free import of textile and apparel materials from beneficiary countries in Africa to the United States. This provision is currently set to expire on September 30, 2015 however, stakeholders in the textile and apparel industry, both in the US and Africa, are now advocating for its extension.

The Buck Stops Here – Senate Bill Takes Aim at E-retailers

Trending Information: The Connection Between Data Brokers and the Fashion Industry
Consumers frequently reveal personal information about themselves through a variety of daily online and offline activities. For fashion designers and retailers, this consumer information represents a valuable tool to identify, target, and expand customer advertising and messaging. This information can be utilized by employing a data broker, or a company who aggregates consumer information and do provide information about the relevant consumer marketplace. Data brokers collect, maintain, manipulate, and share a significant amount of data about consumers without ever directly interacting with them. While data brokers afford a major advantage for retailers, including fashion companies, they also raise privacy concerns for the consumers that data brokers profile. The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") recently issued a report summarizing the results of its study on the activities of nine data brokers, and recommended that Congress consider enacting legislation to make data broker practices more transparent or to give consumers greater control over the personal information that is collected about them and shared by data brokers.[1] This post summarizes the portions of the FTC's report that are most relevant for fashion retailers and designers.
International Safe Harbor Privacy Compliance: What You Need to Know
Since early 2014, the Federal Trade Commission has charged at least fourteen U.S. businesses in varying industries, from fashion to telecommunications, for falsely claiming to participate in the US – EU Safe Harbor privacy. Three of the companies were also charged with similar violations of the US – Swiss Safe Harbor. The Safe Harbor provisions were designed to provide U.S. and European organizations a legal, cost-effective means for transmitting consumer data outside of European countries, which maintain strict data privacy laws. On June 25, 2014, the FTC reported approval of final orders settling charges of US – EU Safe Harbor violations against the fourteen entities.
Too Good To Be True: FTC's Crackdown On L'Occitane's Body Slimming Almond Extracts
L'Occitane Inc's advertisements for its topically-applied body sculpting almond extracts seemed straightforward: "Almond Shaping Delight 3 out of 4 women saw firmer, lifted skin. This luxuriously lightweight massage gel instantly melts into the skin to help visibly refine and sculpt the silhouette" and "Almond Beautiful Shape Trim 1.3 inches in just 4 weeks. This ultra-fresh gel cream helps to visibly reduce the appearance of cellulite, while smoothing and firming the skin." [see FTC complaint and exhibits]
Fur Flies and West Hollywood ("WeHo") Fur Ban Is Upheld By Federal Court
West Hollywood, California's controversial law banning the sale of fur within city limits survived a legal challenge by a luxury retailer last month. A federal court dismissed the action brought by Mayfair House Inc., a retailer that sells high-end clothing products, including products made wholly or partly of animal fur, challenging the ordinance as unconstitutionally vague and arbitrary in violation of the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and violating state laws preventing the City from enacting wildlife-related ordinances.
New Updated FTC Care Labeling Rules: "Do's and Don'ts"
The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") enforces federal labeling requirements that require manufacturers, importers, sellers and distributors of certain textile and wool clothing to accurately label their products. For example, FTC rules require that manufacturers indicate the country of origin and fiber content in their clothing. In addition, the Care Labeling Rule requires that manufacturers and importers attach "care labels" to garments and certain piece goods.
