Creating a Planet Me Blog Aggregator
Now you need to have the Planet code run to aggregate blogs, and make it easy to modify the list of blogs to aggregate.
You can solve the regular aggregation by using cron. Listing 5 shows how to have Planet Me updated every night.
Listing 5. Set Up a cron Job to Aggregate Blogs
$ mkdir -p ~/mycron $ cd ~/mycron $ vi upd-planet.sh #!/bin/sh cd ~/planet; http_proxy=http://dairiserver:3128/ \ python planet.py me-meta/config.ini $ chmod +x upd-planet.sh $ echo \ '00 04 * * * /home/ben/mycron/upd-planet.sh' \ >|upd-planet.cron # only if you already use cron from outside ~/mycron $ crontab -l >|oldcrontab.cron $ cat *.cron >|newtab $ crontab newtab $ rm -f oldcrontab.cron
It is easy to add and remove blogs if you keep a list of blog definition files instead of trying to manage the configuration file itself manually. You can use the generate-config script shown in Listing 6 to move the blog name and URLs into very simple files in a blog subdirectory.
You can use a file manager or the command line to add or remove files that determine the configuration of your aggregation scheme. This also paves the way for a simple Firefox extension to allow new RSS feeds to be added to Planet Me from a context menu. Handling archives as shown later is also simplified by moving the blog information out of config.ini.
Listing 6. Generate files to define the blogs to aggregate.
$ cd ~/planet/me-meta $ mv config.ini config.ini.template $ edit config.ini.template # remove all blog URL sections from the bottom of file # search for http: to find the first one $ mkdir blogs $ echo http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot \ >blogs/slashdot.blog $ ./generate-config
Listing 7. Use the files to create a blog aggregation configuration.
#!/bin/sh cp -av config.ini.template config.ini for if in blogs/*.blog do base=$(basename $if .blog); content=$(cat $if); echo "" >> config.ini echo "[$content]" >> config.ini echo "name = $base" >> config.ini echo "face = $base.png" >> config.ini done
The two files that control how your planet will look are me-meta/index.html.tmpl, which is the template for the page content, and me/planet.css, which is the cascading stylesheet.
By default, the face, entry, date and sidebar all define styles that can be changed using the stylesheet. You can use custom fonts by modifying the font-family CSS tag.
The index.html.tmpl template has extra tags that the Planet code uses to generate the final index.html file. The main tags of interest are TMPL_LOOP, TMPL_IF and TMPL_VAR. The news feeds are placed into the output page using the <TMPL_LOOP Items> HTML-like tag and its corresponding close tag. The HTML elements between these two tags will be output once for each news item to be displayed. These elements define what and how output is generated for each news item.
The Planet code uses these variables to get at the news feed content. For example, it replaces the <TMPL_VAR title> tag with the actual title of the current news item. Note that TMPL_VAR doesn't have a corresponding close tag.
The TMPL_IF tag is used to check whether information exists or to set specific conditions. For example, sometimes news items do not have title information. The code in Listing 8 will output title information if it exists, and output nothing if a title does not exist. The escape attribute on the TMPL_VAR tag tells Planet to make sure that the value of the link variable is in a form that is a legal HTML attribute.
Listing 8. Set conditions for your output with the TMPL_IF tag.
<TMPL_IF title> <a href="<TMPL_VAR link ESCAPE="HTML">"> <TMPL_VAR title> </a> </TMPL_IF>
You'll have to edit both the me-meta/index.html.tmpl and CSS files to move the channel icon to the left of the news item with Planet Me.
By default, your index.html.tmpl will display the channel icon only when the current news item is from a different channel than the one preceding it.
I've removed the <TMPL_IF new_channel> tags from around the outputting of the face image information in the fragment of index.html.tmpl shown in Listing 9. I also used a CSS class of news-item-icon for the channel image and news-item for the main news post section and a new class of embedded-face for the actual channel image.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Bill of the Week: No 'Easy Death'
Knowing little about running a shelter, he asked the officer who formerly ran the shelter how that euthanasia was carried out. What he heard did not settle well. Testifying before the Texas Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, Bailey recounted the talk. "She explained to me what happens in the gas chamber, how you have to fight to get the animals in there sometimes and they seem to sense what's about to happen. They can smell the death and the gas and what goes on in the chamber. And then once the gas is turned on…they scream and they thrash about in there." Hearing the gruesome details, Bailey asked the town to shut the practice down.
It was an evolution for the shelter in a state that has not always been kind to shelter animals. In the analysis to his Senate Bill 360, Sen. Kirk Watson notes that gas euthanasia was at one time considered humane. Before the passage of the Texas Euthanasia Act of 2003, "Texas shelters were killing dogs and cats by drowning, shooting, clubbing, strangling, and by carbon monoxide poisoning from truck and car exhaust systems hooked up to makeshift plywood boxes." In recent years, animal welfare and veterinary organizations have begun to view carbon monoxide euthanasia with the same distaste as they viewed the bygone methods.
In fact, Seagoville and 29 other Texas municipalities have outlawed the use of carbon monoxide gas to euthanize shelter animals. Watson's bill follows those examples by solely approving sodium pentobarbital injection (also called euthanasia by injection or EBI) for euthanasia. Advocates say that EBI is the most humane form of euthanasia, allowing for compassionate administration and a less painful death. Gas chambers do not allow such care. Animals are placed in an unfamiliar environment, sometimes with other animals, where the sights, sounds, and smells can trigger stress. The death isn't always quick either. The Humane Society of the United States cites concerns with old, ill, and injured animals, whose medical conditions can delay the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Gassing animals can be harmful to technicians as well. Bailey mentioned in testimony that the gas chambers used in Seagoville were not properly sealed, exposing shelter workers to the carbon monoxide. But even with proper sealing, the transport, placing, and handling of stressed animals carries a risk of bite or scratches from agitated animals. In a blog post in favor of the bill, Austin Humane Society Chief Veterinarian Dr. Katie Luke laid the argument out simply. "Gas chamber euthanasia is inhumane, expensive, and dangerous for the humans using it. Euthanasia by injection has been established as the most humane method available by major humane and veterinary groups. I feel strongly that if the majority of Texans would choose not to euthanize their own pets with a gas chamber, we should be giving the same consideration to animals euthanized in our shelters."
State lawmakers agreed. In a rare show of bipartisan support, SB 360 sailed through both the House and Senate with no dissenting votes. On May 10, Gov. Rick Perry signed the bill into law.

Ate breakfast here while on a short trip to York Beach. Eggs benedict with ham "off the bone" is really good, and the home fries are done to perfection (soft on inside, brown and crunchy on the outside). Food arrives VERY hot, right off the grill. My husband had the corned beef hash, which was made with canned corned beef.... More
The grilled banana bread at this place is ridiculously good! Not only did we all order a piece with our meal but we inquired with the waitress on purchasing a loaf from the restaurant to take home. They accomodated us at a fair price which pushed our great experience there over the top. The pancakes were a good size and... More
A very popular place for breakfast and again trip advisor reviews are right on: this is a great place for breakfast. There is small amount of seating so you may have to wait but it is worth it. The home cooked breakfast is excellent. They start cooking the ham at 2am and it is so tasty. The blueberry muffins are... More
Went in for coffee and a few muffins. The strawberry and raspberry muffins had no fruit or flavor of fruit. They were very dry and tasted like corn muffin mix. The coffee tasted burnt like the reheated it from the night before. We will not be returning.
I've stayed in this part of York Beach at least a half dozen times over the past 6 years and never made it into Molly O's for breakfast until this trip...wish I had discovered it sooner It's a pretty simple breakfast place. The decor is plain (its not a five star restaurant). The service friendly, the prices are reasonable and... More
Our family vacations in Maine each summer. We alternate between Old Orchard Beach and York, but never fail to have breakfast at Molly O's. After 20 + years, we have never had a bad experience. The food is incredible and the service is unfailingly excellent. Five years ago, we purchased 4 Molly O's coffee mugs and are able to enjoy... More
My sister & her husband frequent this restaurant for breakfast while they are at Short Sands. Was told a 20 minute wait but ended up being more like 45 minute wait. The food was decent and looked definitely more appetizing then some of the other restaurants in the area. Liked that they had a "take-out" window for coffee. While in... More
Clean, delicious, friendly service. The homemade muffins are superb. Great selection of breakfast specials. They offer egg beaters for those of you that need to watch cholesterol. The coffee is always hot. You can eat in or take out. Love this place!
We've been here before and we will be back again. Four of us for breakfast. Pancakes, eggs (scrambled, over easy, over medium), toast, bacon... you name it, we had it. Service was good. Prices were reasonable. Staff was friendly.

Sony laptop among first to combine Intel and Nvidia graphics
An upcoming Sony notebook will be one of the first to switch between Intel and Nvidia graphics.
Intel or Nvida? You decide. An upcoming Sony notebook will be one of the first to have the capability to switch between Intel Centrino 2 and Nvidia graphics.
Intel's new Centrino 2 technology features what the chipmaker calls "switchable graphics" to save power. When the laptop is plugged in, it uses the higher-performance--and more power-hungry--Nvidia or AMD-ATI graphics. On battery, the system runs on Intel's 4500 series integrated graphics, which uses less power.
Sony lists the graphics system as "Hybrid Graphics" with a "Dedicated Hybrid GPU Switch" based on the Nvidia 9300M GS graphics chip and Intel 4500MHD integrated graphics silicon. What makes this unique is that the switch can be done on the fly.
The 13-inch Sony Vaio Z570, due later this summer in retail, will use an Intel P9500 (2.53GHz) processor that has a power envelope of only 25 watts compared with the 35 watts for mainstream Intel mobile processors on the market today. Other P series low-power Centrino 2 processors include the P8400 and P8600. These will both be offered in Hewlett-Packard's EliteBook 6930p, for example.
The Z570 also comes with 3GB of DDR3 memory, a 13.1-inch (1366 x 768) screen, a 320GB hard disk drive, an optical drive, built-in mobile broadband high-speed EVDO WAN, and 802.11a/b/g/n wireless.
The Z570 weighs 3.3 pounds--putting it into ultra-light notebook territory--and is between 1.0 and 1.3 inches thick.
One reseller also lists a Vaio Z591 that has similar specifications but adds 4GB of memory and a "BluRay Combo DVD±RW Optical Drive."
Though pricing may ultimately change, a reseller lists the Z570 at $2,249 and the Z591 at $3,399.

Klan Group Issues 'Call To Arms' Over Alabama Same-Sex Marriage Ruling
In a latest attempt to capitalize on political and racial controversy, a Ku Klux Klan faction from Mississippi has initiated a "Call to arms in Alabama" in response to federal courts ruling that an amendment to the state constitution banning same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.
The post, which appeared on the United Dixie White Knights' (UDWK) website and later on Stormfront — the largest online white supremacist forum — championed Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore for defying federal courts and called for Klansmen to leave their robes behind and take to the streets in protest.
"The Mississippi Klan salutes Alabama's chief justice Roy Moore, for refusing to bow to the yoke of Federal tyranny," Brent Waller, the UDKW's imperial wizard, wrote in a Stormfront post. "The fudge packers from Hollywood and all major news networks are in shock that the good people from the heart of Dixie are resisting their Imperialist, Communist Homosexual agenda!"
Waller's reason for his fellow Klansman to wear plain clothes is simple. "We have made the decision that we don't want to distract attention away from the issue, as anytime the Klan rides, we are made the issue by the zionist controlled media," he wrote. Not that wearing robes and hoods has been a consideration before.
Klan groups in recent months have sought to capitalize on already tense situations by appearing with a word of commentary and disappearing. Klan members have called for "corpses" on the Arizona-Mexico border, tried to raise money for the legal defense of the police officer who killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and even distributed candy as a recruiting ploy in South Carolina. But their rush to the spotlight this time may be different.
Alabama on Monday became the 37th state in the country to recognize same-sex marriage after a federal judge struck down the "Sanctity of Marriage" amendment to the state's constitution as unlawful. Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore responded by ordering Alabama probate judges not to comply with the federal ruling, throwing the state into a heated controversy involving states' rights and federal reach.
In his post, and in subsequent email exchanges with Hatewatch, Waller speculated as to whether the federal government will send "Jack Booted thugs" — a comment meant to invoke Civil Rights era struggles and draw comparisons between the razing of Southern states during the Civil War and what the Imperial Wizard sees as the destruction of Southern values through marriage equality.
"We as White Christians intend to see that no outside agitators bully or intimidate the White Christian majority in the State of Alabama," Waller told Hatewatch on Tuesday. "We salute those like the chief justice for standing against the Immoral, Ungodly and activist Federal Judges."
Virginia Man Arrested in Murder-For-Hire Plot Tied to Christian Identity and KKK Groups
A man just arrested in Virginia on murder-for-hire charges has ties to racist Christian Identity and KKK groups that hosted a "whites only" gathering and cross burning in 2012 in Alabama, a television station reports.
Dallas W. Brumback Jr., 35, of Sterling, Va., was arrested on Jan. 22 by Loudoun County sheriff's detectives on a charge of attempted capital murder. The suspect is accused of making a $2,500 down-payment last November to have his ex-wife murdered in a $5,000 deal with a hit-man, charging documents allege.
Brumback is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday for a bond hearing. The suspect's attorney, Caleb A. Kershner, of Leesburg, Va., did not return telephone calls from Hatewatch seeking comment.
Julie Carey, the Northern Virginia bureau chief for NBC4 Washington who broke the story on Monday, reported that court documents and interviews with Brumback's neighbors revealed his ties to a "whites-only Christian organization."
In July 2012, Brumback helped organize a racist gathering near Birmingham, Ala. where Ku Klux Klan banners were displayed and only certain white Christians were allowed, the station reported.
During that three-day racist gathering, Brumback, who said he lived in Virginia, told ABC 33/40, a television station in Birmingham, that he was a "pastor" with Christian Identity Ministries.
"The Ku Klux Klan is a political organization for white Christians," Brumback told the Birmingham station in explaining the purpose of the gathering and cross-burning. He appeared with short hair in the 2012 video, a stark comparison to long hair and a beard at the time of his arrest.
News video from that gathering shows a banner listing the Ku Klux Klan Realm of Virginia and a website that's no longer active.
The NBC4 report said Brumback and the woman he allegedly wanted killed filed for divorce in 2006, with his then-wife complaining he was in the Ku Klux Klan and that he "threatened to commit suicide by cop, prompting her to call police because of his erratic behavior."
Brumback denied the suicide claim but not his KKK ties before the couple's divorce was finalized in 2007, the Washington station reported. It's unknown what motivated the murder for hire plot.
Brumback lives with his new wife and 3 children in a home on Redrose Drive in Sterling. His mother, Fay Brumback, lives next door. She hung up and wouldn't respond to question and hung up when contacted by Hatewatch today.
Her ex-husband and the suspect's estranged father, Dallas W. Brumback Sr., who also lives in Sterling, told Hatewatch he didn't participate in the 2012 racist gathering in Alabama and wasn't aware of his son's involvement with hate groups.
NBC4 also reported that said some of Brumback's neighbors "considered a threat because he frequently fired his weapon in his yard, killing crows and other animals" and frequently wore camouflage clothing. Other neighbors told the station that his activities didn't bother them, but they confirmed his ties to white supremacist groups.
West Virginia Police Officer Who Filmed Daughter in Klan Outfit Resigns
A police lieutenant in Charleston, W.Va., resigned yesterday just before he was scheduled to appear at a termination review hearing for producing racially insensitive videos involving his daughter dancing to KKK music.
Those who have seen the seven videos made by Lt. Terry Shawn Williams describe them as "disgusting and unspeakable," Charleston station WCHS reported today.
"I knew when … I heard about [the videos] and when I saw them, this police officer was never going to wear a gun and a badge in the city of Charleston ever again," Charleston Mayor Danny Jones said Wednesday. "They're a whole lot more than racially insensitive."
The videos, stored on Williams personal computer, surfaced last year as he was going through a divorce, the West Virginia MetroNews Network reported.
They reportedly show Williams' young daughter dressed like a police officer and dancing to KKK music. The videos were shown privately to some Charleston City Council members in December, three months after Williams was placed on administrative leave. The mayor said he doesn't regret that decision or a judge's order sealing the tapes.
The mayor said the city didn't leak word of the videos, which he suggested came from one of the "many people who were privy to the divorce." Now, Jones said, "We don't have to show them in a hearing and hopefully no one will ever see them again unless it's in his divorce hearing."
Williams' decision to resign came on the eve of a hearing before a city police appeals board where he sought to appeal a decision by the department to fire him. The police officer, who frequently acted as the department's media spokesman, has said he believes the investigation was politically motivated and that he knows about other incidents of racism within the police department.
To that, the mayor said Williams "was just trying to shed blame. He can go out … and make all the allegations he wants against us. Now, all he can do is go back to his klavern," a reference to a KKK chapter.
"I knew he couldn't win this case and apparently he finally did, too," the mayor told MetroNews. "I think it's a sad chapter in our history that's finally come to an end."
In his resignation letter to Police Chief Brent Webster, Williams said: "It is clear to me and most of the general public that I will not be able (to) resolve my personal problems based upon the way in which this administration has strategically 'leaked' and handled my internal investigation. In my sixteen years of service to this department, I have never before witnessed the 'leaks' from an internal investigation such as mine. Therefore, I feel that resigning is in the best interests for my family."
Jones suggested the resignation also is in the city's best interest, and now he vows to see that Williams' police certification is revoked so he can't become a police officer elsewhere.

In Racially Troubled Arkansas City, Battle of the Billboards Reignites
This time, there is no doubt who put up the latest racially charged billboard in Harrison, Ark., a nearly all-white city in the Ozarks that is struggling for its soul.
The Ku Klux Klan did it.
In the fall of 2013, a billboard went up on the edge of Harrison, repeating in big black letters against a yellow background the white nationalist mantra "Anti-Racist is a Code Word for Anti-White."
The sign brought national media attention to the city and its history of racial hostility to African Americans. But no one claimed responsibility for the sign. The man who owned the billboard company declined to say who paid to lease the space.
The Harrison Community Task Force on Race Relations, which has been working mightily for 12 years improve race relations and the city's reputation, put up two signs of its own: "Love your neighbor."
In March of 2014, another racially charged billboard was added just below the yellow sign. It featured a picture of a smiling white family and read, "Beautiful Town, Beautiful People, No Wrong Exits, No Bad Neighborhoods."
The signs stayed up until about four weeks ago when they were replaced by billboards for the local McDonald's and a Baptist church, saying everybody was welcome.
The Task Force celebrated, figuring – hoping – that the Harrison billboard wars were finally over, "because there are so many good things and great people in Harrison to focus on," Task Force member Layne Ragsdale told Hatewatch Tuesday.
But on Monday, a new "pro-white" billboard went up in the city in a different spot, "an even better location than the others," Thomas Robb, the longtime leader of the Knights Party, one of the longer-lived KKK organizations in the country, chortled on the white nationalist Web forum, Stormfront.
The new sign proclaims, "It's NOT Racist to [HEART] Your People."
Below those words is a website address that links to KKKRadio.
Billy Roper, a former neo-Nazi-turned-Klansman, wrote on Stormfront Monday that "the Anti-White elites were celebrating the fact that the previous two billboards were removed in town."
"Haven't they heard," he added, "that you can't keep a good Klan down?"
The Knights Party, also known as the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, has long been associated with Harrison, primarily because it uses a Harrison mailing address, although its headquarters is actually 15 miles outside of the city of 13,000 residents. In his Stormfront posts about the new sign, Robb said he wanted the Task Force "to celebrate and do their Hi-Fives" about the racially charged signs coming down before hitting them with the new billboard.
"We could have put the billboards up the next day," he smirked, "but it is more fun to allow them to be puffed up and then prick their bubble."
He added that he is looking to put up another sign on Interstate 40 in Russellville, near Arkansas Tech. "I already have the OK from the billboard company," Robb wrote, "but we need a little of this stuff $$. Anyone want to help?"
Ragsdale of the Task Force told Hatewatch today that when she first heard about the new billboard going up she hoped it was a joke. "But it's real," she sighed. "They're still trying to smear the community with their opinions. They're trying to pretend they're the voice of Harrison. It just gets so old. Move on, already."
Steve Scalise's Denials Are Not Believable
Faced with an exploding crisis sparked by the revelation that the No. 3 Republican in the House gave a speech to a well-known group of white supremacists and neo-Nazis a dozen years ago, the GOP in Rep. Steve Scalise's home state of Louisiana is doubling down, calling the entire episode a mere "manufactured blogger story."
Really? A manufactured blogger story?
Scalise claimed yesterday that he had no idea of the views promoted by the European-American Unity and Rights Organization (EURO), whose workshop he addressed in 2002 at a hotel in Metairie, La. And he was backed by an array of Louisiana Republicans including state GOP chair Roger Villere Jr., who described Scalise as "a man of great integrity who embodies his Christian faith in his life." Villere dismissed the story broken by Louisiana blogger Lamar White Jr. as "an attempt to score political points by slandering the character of a good man."
But Scalise's claim of ignorance is almost impossible to believe. He was a state representative and an aspiring national politician at the time, and Louisiana-based EURO already was well known as a hate group led by America's most famous white supremacist.
EURO was founded two years before Scalise agreed to speak to its conference by Louisiana resident David Duke, a media-friendly neo-Nazi and onetime grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan who had made a national name for himself by running repeatedly for office. He won his first elected office in 1989, when he became a state representative, garnering local headlines across Louisiana. In 1990, he won more than 600,000 votes in an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate, and in 1991, he took almost 700,000 votes in a run for governor. Newspapers around the world wrote about his ultimately losing fight against the scandal-dogged Edwin Edwards and the bumper sticker it engendered: "Vote for the crook, it's important."
Video of the 2005 EURO conference.
That's not all.
Newspapers at the time of the EURO conference reported that a minor league baseball team from Iowa had changed hotels after learning that it would be held where they planned to stay. A hotel official also told a local paper that the company "did not share the views" of EURO, according to the Huffington Post.
And Scalise's claims met with skepticism even from some well-known out-of-state conservatives. "How do you not know? How do you not investigate?" asked Erick Erickson, a former Louisiana resident, on his RedState blog yesterday. "By 2002, everybody knew Duke was still the man he had claimed not to be. EVERYBODY. How the hell does somebody show up at a David Duke organized event in 2002 and claim ignorance?"
In an interview with NOLA.com yesterday, Scalise reiterated the claim that he had no idea what EURO was and said that he "went and spoke to any group that called." That prompted Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin to ask the obvious question: "Would he have spoken to a KKK rally? To the American Nazi Party?"
The fact is that Scalise may have had some real affinities with EURO. In 1999, Roll Call reported that Scalise "said he embraces many of the same 'conservative' views as Duke, but is more viable." To the extent that he had a problem with Duke, it appears it was only that he was unelectable. "Duke has proven he can't get elected," Roll Call quoted Scalise as saying, "and that's the first and most important thing."
In 1999, Scalise voted against making Martin Luther King Jr. Day a state holiday, one of just three state representatives to do so. And in 2004, two years after the EURO conference, he was one of six to vote against the holiday.
There appears to be no transcript of Scalise's speech to EURO, but blogger Lamar White Jr., who first broke the story on Sunday, found postings on the neo-Nazi Stormfront Web forum that described it. In one, a user said Scalise "brought into sharp focus the dire circumstances pervasive in many important, under-funded needs of the community at the expense of graft with the Housing and Urban Development Fund, an apparent giveaway to a selective group based on race."
A colleague at the Southern Poverty Law Center, Intelligence Project Director Heidi Beirich, actually attended EURO conferences in 2004 and 2005. The venues were adorned with Confederate flags and racist slogans and offered racist merchandise.
Scalise, a politician who already had national aspirations at the time of the 2002 EURO conference, certainly should have known what his dalliance with open white supremacists might cost him. In 1998, a scandal erupted when it was revealed that U.S. Rep. Bob Barr (R-Georgia) and Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) had endorsed and spoken to the Council of Conservative Citizens, a major white supremacist hate group. In late 2002, after singing the praises of segregationist Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.), Lott was forced to resign his leadership post.
Now Steve Scalise should do the same.
Vice: Ku Klux Klan Recruiting Veterans to Boost Numbers
The Ku Klux Klan, which in recent years has been a shadow of its once monolithic self, has been trying to make a comeback. From handing out candy to children, appearing in robes on the U.S.-Mexican border to protest President Obama's executive action on immigration—even raising money for Darren Wilson, the police officer who killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.—it seems Klansman are everywhere.
Is the Klan growing?
This week, Vice published a video report on the Klan experiencing a rise in members, in part fueled by a strategy that targets veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. In it, host Rocco Castoro talks with the SPLC's Mark Potok about hate group recruitment often being tied to military conflict.
"There is a very high degree of interest on the part of Klan groups in returning military veterans with high end military skills that they think will be useful to them one day," Potok said. "A lot of these men are coming back traumatized with serious PTSD and other problems. The economy is not good. They're not getting jobs, so they come home to find a situation that is not very good for them. … What some veterans find in these groups is family."
Watch the videos.
As Ferguson, Mo., Waits on Word from Grand Jury, So Does the Klan
If you ask the Ku Klux Klan, a gut wrenching racially charged American tragedy should never go to waste.
Since the beginning, in early August, at least two factions of the hooded Klansmen have repeatedly tried to exploit and inject themselves into the middle of the sad saga of the death of Michael Brown, the black, unarmed teenager who was shot and killed in Ferguson, Mo., by police officer Darren Wilson.
Since then, the Klan has raised money for Wilson, who is white, joined rallies for him with other supporters and vowed to come to the Ferguson area to protect "white businesses" with guns.
And most recently, as Ferguson and the rest of the country anxiously await the decision by a grand jury on whether Wilson will be charged in the case – a decision expected to be announced any day now – the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan last week threatened to use "lethal force" against protesters in the St. Louis suburb.
"We will not sit by and allow you to harm our families, communities, property nor disrupt our daily lives," the group declared in a flier.
For months now, protesters – black and white – have filled the streets of Ferguson, demanding Wilson be arrested and charged with the 18-year-old's slaying. While most of the protests have been nonviolent, some have included looting, clashes with heavily armed police and dozens of arrests.
That fact didn't stop the Klan from issuing its threats, veiled in the talk of self-defense.
"You have been warned by the Ku Klux Klan," the flier stated. "There will be consequences of your actions against the peaceful, law abiding citizens of Missouri."
But it is the Missouri-based Klan group that has had to face the consequences of its actions. Shortly after the Klan threat, the hacker collective Anonymous launched a campaign to target the group, publicly identifying its members through social media, as well as taking over its Twitter account.
"Due to your actions we started Operation KKK," Anonymous said in a video. "The aim of our operation is nothing more than Cyber Warfare. Anything you upload will be taken down, anything you use to promote KKK will be shut down."
The Missouri KKK group was not the first band of Klansmen trying to throw gasoline on the tensions in Ferguson.
Just days after Brown was killed, the South Carolina-based New Empire Knights of the Ku Klux Klan announced its Missouri chapter was raising money for the then still unnamed officer, who the Klan group hailed as a hero for shooting Brown at least six times in the middle of the street in the middle of a Saturday afternoon.
"We are setting up a reward/fund for the police officer who shot this thug," the Klan said in an email. "He is a hero! We need more white cops who are anti-Zog and willing to put Jewish controlled black thugs in their place."
A few days later, as black and white protesters filled the streets of Ferguson, demanding the officer's arrest, the Empire Knights issued another chilling message. They said they were coming to the Ferguson area from three different states to guard "white businesses," but it is unclear if any of ever showed up.
So far, it appears the two groups are filled with not much more than keyboard Klansmen, who throw verbal Molotov cocktails and then hide behind their sheets.
That is, before Anonymous got ahold of their Twitter account and ripped off their hoods.
Heimbach Flusters Movement Elite With Calls For 'Death To America'
Tempers flared and growing ideological differences came to a head at Stormfront's Smoky Mountain Summit this year, as generational tensions took center stage.
The lightning rod was a presentation by Matthew Heimbach, co-founder of the Traditionalist Youth Network, who addressed attendees with calls for "#DeathToAmerica." But his presentation, his second in recent years, caused a stir, particularly among the old guard.
Rehashing many familiar white nationalist talking points including a Jewish controlled U.S. federal government and a strident critique of affirmative action, Heimbach's speech also visited less familiar ground, depicting an America that was born out of a secret partnership between the Free Masons and the Jews—one that has come to be a collection of individuals bound together only by money-worship and meaningless, government documentation.
"You are the wrong color, ladies and gentlemen. You are the wrong color to be an American and enjoy the American Dream. I'm sorry," Heimbach told the crowd. "The meritocracy of America is skin color."
While his presentation earned praise from the likes of Don Black, the founder of Stormfront, who personally invited Heimbach to the conference, others were not as pleased and voiced such displeasure that Black had to cancel a scheduled question-and-answer session at the conclusion of Heimbach's presentation. Others took to the Internet with their gripes.
Pastor Thom Robb, former leader of the Knights Party and a well-known Christian Identity preacher and founder of the Soldiers of the Cross Training Institute, a summer camp for children to foster the tools for them to "fight for our racial redemption," was insulted by Heimbach's presentation.
"He was fundamentally wrong on several things and his presentation was unschooled," Robb wrote on a Stormfront thread a week later. "Speakers should be experienced, grounded, mature and employ wisdom, otherwise they will never inspire others or be able to give a vision for others to grasp."
He added, "Perhaps Matt will someday, becomes [sic] those things, but until then he needs to humble himself and seek wisdom both of which he, at this time, lacks."
Robb had additional reason to be upset with Heimbach. As Robb led a prayer at dinner immediately following the presentation, Orthodox attendees, including Heimbach, reportedly interrupted his grace with a prayer of their own.
The issues with Heimbach's ever-evolving extremism go far beyond his presentation, and, in fact, have garnered him support with other groups on the radical right, namely the League of the South (LOS), the neo-Confederate group where Heimbach began his racist journey.
Heimbach was recently promoted to Assistant Head of the Training Department within the LOS, a new branch of the LOS focused on creating materials to give to new members to help them understand "Southern Nationalism" and the objectives of the neo-confederate hate group. Those objectives, according to LOS President Dr. Michael Hill in the essay "Our Survival As A People," include fighting "the ultimate compromise of racial extinction through miscegenation."
Hacker Collective Anonymous Targets the KKK in Missouri
The hacker collective Anonymous has launched a campaign to target the Ku Klux Klan following the group's claim they will use "lethal force" against protestors in Ferguson, Mo., where racial tensions have boiled for months after police killed a black teenager there.
The operation, known on Twitter as #OpKKK, has targeted local Klan members by publicly identifying them through social media, as well as taking over the Missouri Klan group's Twitter account. As of today, for example, the information on the Klan's twitter account read, "Under anon control as of 16 NOV 2014 09:11:47. You should've expected us."
In a video statement posted to YouTube, Anonymous claimed the KKK was targeted because of its threats to use violence in the town where Michael Brown was killed by police officer Darren Wilson in August, not because of the Klan's white nationalist beliefs.
"Due to your actions we started Operation KKK," Anonymous claimed in a video. "The aim of our operation is nothing more than Cyber Warfare. Anything you upload will be taken down, anything you use to promote the KKK will be shut down."
The action comes in the wake of the Traditionalist American Knights of the KKK distributing fliers in Ferguson saying that protestors had "awakened a sleeping giant," and that demonstrators have threatened the lives of law enforcement, the community and their families, Huffington Post reported.
"We will not sit by and allow you to harm our families, communities, property nor disrupt our daily lives. Your right to freedom of speech does not give you the right to terrorize citizens," the flier read. "We will use lethal force as provided under Missouri Law to defend ourselves. … You have been warned by the Ku Klux Klan! There will be consequences for your actions against the peaceful, law abiding citizens of Missouri."
Frank Ancona, the leader of the KKK chapter in Missouri, defended the Klan's objective to MSNBC's Chris Hayes by explaining, "There are remedies under the law. The flier, if you read it, it says 'defend,' it talks about defense. So, in order to defend yourself, that means you're being attacked."
This isn't the first time the hacktivist group has gone after the racist radical right. In 2012, Anonymous declared "Operation Blitzkrieg" against neo-Nazi and other hate group websites—a program that inflicted unprecedented damage on many of the racist sites and releasing an avalanche of personal information about supporters.

Carlos Elizalde Blends Singing and Dancing Seamlessly With HARMANâs AKG WMS4500 Wireless Microphone System
SAN RAMON, California â As an integral member and founder of Ruckatán, a Latin, Reggae and World music group, percussionist/singer/songwriter Carlos Elizalde relies on high-quality audio equipment to accompany his dynamic and animated performing style. For optimal sound quality and hands-free performance, Elizalde is currently using HARMANâs AKG WMS4500 Wireless Microphone System with D7 microphone, plus the AKG IVM 4500 In-Ear Monitor Set.
âHaving booked 75 shows already for 2014, Iâll be using the AKG WMS4500 system for all of them,â said Elizalde. âThere is a lot of movement in my shows, where I jump off risers, dance and perform hand percussion at the same time. We require a solid wireless system, and AKG delivers on that need.â
Not only does Elizalde create an artistic fusion between English and Spanish in each Ruckatán act, but he also provides vocals and percussion for Caravanserai, a Santana tribute band. For both acts, the WMS4500 has been key to his ability to produce lively and creative shows.
âIâve also been using the wireless system in the studio and it sounds killer,â continued Elizalde. âWhen you transition from wired microphones, the wireless ones tend to sound a little thinner. However, these AKG microphones have such warmth to them. The WMS4500 is a really nice system, as it has the D7 capsule in it, so I know it shares that technology.â
The AKG D7 reference dynamic vocal microphone is a powerful tool for vocalists, as it provides an extraordinarily crisp and clean sound via the dual-layer Varimotion diaphragm. It is extremely durable, and as the very first AKG product that Elizalde became familiar with, provides an unhindered degree of reliability as well.
âI first saw and sampled the D7 wired microphone two years ago at The Secret Studio in Alamedia, California. The next week, I bought one for myself,â said Elizalde. âI fell in love with this product and started touring with it to every location. It is so reliable and easy to operate, since I can just plug it in and start the show.â
The AKG IVM 4500 In-Ear Monitoring System maintains stable signals with a new reference radio electronic design, resulting in uncompromised audio monitoring quality, which Elizalde describes as âvery cool. It represents accurately what the monitor mixer is giving you.â
âAs Iâm a part of the Latin community, Iâm excited to help raise AKGâs exposure in the Latin market,â Elizalde concluded. âSince these products are both affordable and also high in quality, I believe they deserve more presence in this space.â

Exclusive basketball party during Art Basel
Art of Basketball: Heat Wave Exhibition party with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh
If it's Miami, it must be basketball and why not during Art Basel, via a collection of graffiti and street art of the team's biggest ballers? "The creativity is something that I'm very into and I love," Bosh told NBA TV at last year's Art Basel Miami Beach, during which he hosted an "Art of Basketball" party. "To have this vision in your head and go for your imagination out on a canvas to what people can see what's in your brain, I'm really moved by that." While the exhibition runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. December 5-9 (from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) at 2048 Northwest Miami Court, the party, featuring--who else--DJ Irie, and food from Shake Shack, is as hard to get into as a net being guarded by Udonis Haslem.

Every Monday in Citizenship Confusion, Alan Noble discusses how we confuse our heavenly citizenship with citizenship to the state, culture, and the world.
When I first saw my iPad, it was sealed in plastic and encased in a sturdy white box. Inside, the warranty and manual were neatly placed in a little white box and USB cable was carefully wrapped with clear plastic. The screen was covered with a clear plastic sheet to protect it from any harm. It was sterile, like a hospital. It gave the impression that no human hands had ever touched my iPad. It was created ex nihilo, by some form of magic. Or perhaps meticulously crafted in some perfectly sterile environnent by an army of well-orchestrated machines. (Also see: Citizenship Confusion: Keeping Up With the Joneses)
In any event, I had no real sense that this product had been built by anyone, except perhaps some vague entity called APPLE. And I certainly had no conception of the many natural resources which were gathered to create the device.
And what's strange is that this feeling of the unearthliness and uncreated-ness of my iPad is not unique. I feel this way about most products. It is hard for me to visualize anyone making my soap, binding my books, making my coffee cups.
What I have just described is an ugly reality of our globalized, technology-driven, capitalist market: workers are alienated from the products they make and the people who buy those products. And, likewise, the consumer is alienated from the product and the those who created it. Here is one place where Christian should be able to find some basic agreement with Marxism. Although Marx got a great deal wrong (litotes), and his solutions were flawed, many of his critiques of society were accurate, and this is one example (See Marx's theory of Alienation).
I believe that our contemporary market can create a number of problems for Christians. Primarily, it alienates the worker and the consumer. For consumers, this means that it gives us a false understanding of the value of products, a value based entirely on how much we paid for it and how much we enjoy it. The efforts of those who created the product tend to be irrelevant. And likewise, workers often fail to feel related to their works or those who purchase them.
Practically, this alienation can lead to all sorts of problems: ingratitude, ambivalence to oppression, a casualness towards things we buy, and a general attitude of consumerism–where were expect our products to be disposable.
Although I do feel that this experience of alienation does have serious consequences, I do not for a moment believe that the solution is simple or easy. Nor do I believe this is a "sin" issue for Christians, at least not for most of us. However, just because it is not a "sin" to buy into a market system which powerfully encourages alienation between our neighbors and ourselves does not mean that we should not be discerning about our shopping practices. This is an issue of wisdom, an area in our lives where we can make choices which will encourage the flourishing of our neighbors and healthier relationships in our communities, or we can choose to adopt practices which could be harmful to our culture. There are, however, a number of companies who work in at least small ways to break down this alienation.
The following are a few examples of companies which help to connect crafters with consumers in interesting ways, mostly thanks to the Internet.
Threadless.com specializes in user-designed tee-shirts. Users submit their designs, others vote on them, and ten shirts are selected each week for a limited printing. The artist receives $2000 cash, a $500 Threadless gift card, and an additional $500 for subsequent reprintings. Threadless prints the title of the shirt and the name of the artist on the tag of each shirt and they have profiles and blogs for the artists on their site, like this one for my friend, Joshua Kemble. The voting process, the artists's promotion of his or her shirt, the profiles, the payments, the tags: all of these things help stress the created-ness of these shirts.
Faith Newport wrote a few weeks ago on how Ravelry and Etsy allow clothing designers to reshape the way we conceive of modeling and the ideal female body (See: The Female Gaze: Etsy, Ravelry and the Chance for Real Representation). What I would add is that they also promote a direct connection between the designers and crafters and the shopper. At Etsy, you can find all kinds of unique handmade items, everything from clothes, to lingerie (what a great way to usurp the lingerie industry's monopoly on how we visualize intimate clothing!), paintings, curtains, cups, all kinds of well-made works. Again, this allows you to support specific craftspeople, form a better understanding of your relationship to them and their work, and still purchase products that are well-made and beautiful.
Trades of Hope is an interesting company which works to create sustainable, fair trade businesses with women in poverty by selling their handmade products in the US through the home-party business model. As with the other two companies, Trades of Hope is a for-profit business which discourages alienation of the worker and the consumer by design. In addition, this company works against poverty through income-creation, rather than charity (which also has its place). I have not heard too much about this company, but from what I've read, they seem to be people approaching the very serious problem of global poverty (particularly among women) in a thoughtful way. For more, check out my friend Jaimie Stepro's Trades of Hope Facebook Page.
These are just three examples out of many, many companies which nurture a more meaningful relationship between workers, their creations, and consumers. Again, I want to caution against a legalistic spirit which demands that we only buy Fair Trade, Handmade, Organic, products. However, our practices, even the way we visualize the people who make our iPads, do affect the way we love our neighbors.
