White supremacists Unleash Hate Crime Backlash Against Minorities in California's Inland Empire
As minorities move into the region known as the Inland Empire, white supremacists unleash a hate crime backlash.
By David Holthouse
Cow Hands Wanted
The brochure reads, "Welcome to the City of Lake Elsinore, among the fastest growing cities in Riverside County. Picturesque mountains, Southern California's largest natural lake and a strategic location along the booming I-15 corridor make Lake Elsinore unique. Value for industrial expansion and new businesses are cornerstones of our economic gardening strategy. Discover what over 38,045 residents already know — Lake Elsinore's got more!"
Lake Elsinore's also got neo-Nazis.
In September 2003, three students were suspended from Lake Elsinore High School for hoisting a swastika banner up the school's flagpole during a patriotic assembly to commemorate the second anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. One of the students told a local newspaper, "I don't like black people."
And last June, on the second-to-last day of school, two Nazi Skinheads — who were not students at Lake Elsinore High — accosted two black male students who were walking across the school's parking lot with a white female friend who was also a student. One of the Skinheads pulled up his shorts to display tattoos on his legs of a swastika and an Iron Cross. When the targets of his scorn just kept walking, the Skinhead drew an ice pick, ran after them, and stabbed one of the males repeatedly while shouting, "Die, nigger!" The second Skinhead threatened the other two students with a claw hammer when they tried to come to their wounded friend's aid. The stabbing victim, a starting linebacker on the school's football team, was seriously injured but survived.
The Skinhead who wielded the ice pick, 19-year-old Armando Perez, appears Hispanic but insisted to police that he was white. He later pleaded guilty to aggravated felony hate crime assault. When the judge asked him if his crime was motivated by racial hatred, Perez replied, "It definitely was."
The Lake Elsinore assault took place 10 months after a comparable hate crime at a high school in Murietta Valley, a similarly sized, practically identical city that's just a short drive south on Interstate 15. In that case, a black basketball player at Murietta Valley High School was violently fouled by a white opponent in a game during which white fans yelled racial slurs from the stands. The next day, two white students attacked the ball player outside the high school principal's office, severely beating him while yelling more racial slurs. The attackers, then aged 14 and 17, pleaded guilty to assault and making racial threats, and served short sentences in a juvenile detention center.
At many Inland Empire high schools, racial conflicts arise when large numbers of incoming black and Hispanic students accustomed to urban environments undergo a clash of cultures with their new white classmates in semi-rural locales like Norco, a city of about 24,000 located 50 miles southeast of Los Angeles that still calls itself "Horse Town USA." Norco's official Web site plays "Ghost Riders in the Sky" as theme music, greets visitors with "Howdy, Partner!" and proclaims, "We are dedicated to providing a high quality of life while keeping our rural lifestyle." City jobs are listed under the header, "Cow Hands Wanted."
At Norco High School, two black female students who sat for lunch at a table in the shade that a group of white students told them was designated "Whites Only" last September were hit in the face with burritos and then punched in the face by two white males. A few days later, a group of white students beat another black student unconscious. Racist graffiti appeared on the school's walls. Yet another black student found song lyrics about shooting blacks placed on her desk.
"People of color move their families out here because they can get a house for the price of an apartment in the big cities on the coast, and because they think it's safer out here than the neighborhoods they can afford there. But a lot of times they get here and they find a different kind of danger, a different kind of tension," said Lorraine Watts, president of the NAACP in Lake Elsinore. "Truth is, they have second thoughts once they're here, and if they could afford housing elsewhere, a lot of them would leave."
'Forced Integration'
From his home in Fallbrook, just south of the Inland Empire, notorious racist Tom Metzger has a front row seat to the rising racial hatred in his part of the world.
He likes what he sees.
"The chemistry out here is perfect for more and more racism," said Metzger, the leader of the white supremacist hate group White Aryan Resistance. "You've got all these non-whites moving here from Orange County and Los Angeles, trying to flee the crime perpetrated on them by their own kind in their ghettos, and when they come out here they're basically shoving forced integration down the throats of the whites who have traditional claim to this area, and that is provoking a negative racist reaction among whites, as it damn well should. It's great!"
Most locals don't share Metzger's enthusiasm.
Several Inland Empire school districts have formed diversity coalitions in hopes of curbing racial tension among students. Anti-racism community meetings in the Riverside County city of Hemet have drawn as many as 400 people, and last November more than 7,000 residents in Lake Elsinore — nearly a fifth of the city's population — marched down the city's main street to protest against racial violence in their community.
Not all such violence in Lake Elsinore or elsewhere in the Inland Empire is committed by whites. In 2003, four racially motivated fights between blacks and Hispanics broke out on campus at Hemet High School, resulting in mass suspensions, and last May, shouted racial slurs between black and Hispanic students at Temescal Canyon High School in Lake Elsinore escalated into a brawl involving 200 students. And this May, three Hispanic youths chased down a 15-year-old high school freshman and stabbed him to death outside his home in Corona in what prosecutors have termed a racially motivated homicide. The three made racially derogatory statements while their victim lay dying.
But by far most of the hate crimes in the Inland Empire are white-on-black or white-on-Hispanic. The most recently reported of these crimes occurred July 10, when four Skinheads with "White Power" tattoos and swastika patches repeatedly drove past a Hispanic family's home in Hemet, shouting slurs and threats while brandishing knives. After the family called for help, police officers tracked down the Skinheads and arrested them for making terrorist threats with a hate crime enhancement. According to an investigative report, the Skinheads denied being members of any organized white power gang. They told the officers they were "just proud about being members of the Aryan race."
Public Enemies
In November 2003, the FBI formed a task force with the Riverside and San Bernardino County sheriff's departments that was designed to crack down on neo-Nazi Skinhead and other white power gangs in the Inland Empire, including the High Desert Freak Boys and the Angry Nazi Soldiers.
Since then, the task force has arrested more than 60 individuals associated with white power hate groups on charges including illegal weapons possession, drug dealing, and hate crime violence. The task force has also seized more than 15,000 rounds of ammunition; more than 75 firearms, many of which had been illegally converted to fully automatic; a half-dozen stolen cars; bulletproof vests; a pharmacopeia of methamphetamine, hallucinogenic mushrooms, steroids and marijuana; and enough swastika flags, Hitler youth banners, knock-off SS daggers, WWII German army helmets, and white supremacist propaganda to fill a Dumpster.
"Sixty years after the discovery of Auschwitz, I'm amazed we're still fighting this garbage in our country," said San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department spokesman Tom Freeman.
Last November, one of 19 alleged white supremacists arrested on drugs and firearms charges was an assistant football coach at Paloma Valley High School in Menifee, which is near Hemet. According to investigators, the coach had supplied players with steroids and had recruited several of them, along with other Menifee and Hemet teenagers, to join a heavily armed white supremacist group affiliated with the growing neo-Nazi Skinhead prison gang Public Enemy Number One. The football coach is a convicted felon and has a prison tattoo of a swastika on his stomach below the letters S.W.P. for "Supreme White Power." He said the arsenal of rifles and handguns police found in his house were for hunting rabbits and coyotes. Prosecutors charged him with illegal possession of firearms anyway, perhaps swayed from leniency by the numerous photos also discovered at the coach's house. The pictures appeared to have been taken at a series of neo-Nazi rallies held at rural locations in Riverside County. In one, two 12-year-old girls salute a swastika flag.
Riverside County Sheriff Bob Doyle said the amount of white power literature seized from the coach's house is the most he's seen in three decades of law enforcement.
"Hate groups such as these endanger lives," he said. "These types of people are trying to find a refuge here, and we're trying to stop it."

Coordinates: 51°21′14″N 1°15′07″E / 51.354°N 1.252°ESt Nicholas-at-Wade (or St Nicholas) is both a village and a civil parish in the Thanet District of Kent, England. The parish had a recorded population of 782 at the 2001 Census.[1] The village of Sarre is part of the civil parish.[2]
The village is best known locally for the local custom of Hoodening, a type of mumming, as well as for its prolific potato production.
The name derives from its location on the western border of the Isle of Thanet (originally separated from the Kent mainland). Before the channels of the River Wantsum and River Stour silted up, one would have been able to 'wade' at this point, over a ford. In Roman times the channel was navigable and the site likely very busy with the Saxon Shore Forts of Regulbium (Reculver) and Rutupiae (Richborough) both close by. Remains of Roman shipbuilding yards are said to have been found between St. Nicholas-at-Wade and the nearby village of Sarre[3]
There are two public houses, 'The Bell' and 'The Sun'. There is also a Post Office, an antiques shop and a farm marketing office. One of the main potato suppliers in the country has headquarters near St. Nicholas Court in the northwest of the village. Hedgend Industrial Estate is on the northern outskirts. There is the local St Nicholas CE Primary School.[4]
The village hall (dating from 1930) houses a monthly craft fair and is also used as a polling station. There is a static caravan park at Frost Farm and a camping site at St. Nicholas Farm.
A sports field in Bell Meadow plays host to football and cricket matches, the cricket pavilion was constructed in the 1980s with the aid of Thanet District Council.
The 13th-century parish church of St Nicholas, after which the parish is named, was a chapel of ease for St Mary's church at Reculver. The first rector is recorded as Adam de Brancaster in 1294. Built in flint, the church houses some fine 16th-century brasses, a carved oak pulpit dated 1615, and a coat of arms of King George III.[5] The parish has twice been enlarged, firstly in medieval times, when it was separated from the parish of Reculver and joined with the little-known chapelry of All Saints, Shuart, in 1310, and again in the mid-16th century, when it was joined with the parish of St. Giles, Sarre.[6] The benefice is currently part of the Wantsum Group of Parishes.
St. Nicholas Court has a fine example of a medieval underground chapel; however, little is known about the origins or past use of this building. The chapel is on private land but has been opened to visitors on some important local occasions.[7]

A constant feature in all things Chinese is the color (colour, for those yank-challanged among y'all) red.
As common knowledge goes, it is because red is considered to be lucky.
There have an old tale in China, saying that having a beast called "Nian" (年獸), and it will only attack people in spring. But it afraid all the things in red.
That's why Chinese use many things in red in the lunar new year (also in spring). And it become a common color represent "lucky" in Chinese culture.
More information about Nian can be found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nian
Red represents fire. Fire (離卦) in I-Ching (易經) also represents Light, Warmth, Sun, Smart, Talent, Beauty, etc.
Hence, Red is considered a good color (when used properly).

Mount Canobolas from the Pinnacle.

|Easiest route
Mount Canobolas, at an elevation of 1,395 metres (4,577 ft) above sea level, is the highest mountain in the central tablelands district of New South Wales, Australia.
The mountain is of volcanic origin. It is located 13 kilometres (8 mi) southwest of the city of Orange, and it is about 250 kilometres (155 mi) west of Sydney.
The northern slopes of the mountain, with fertile volcanic soil, are becoming a popular cold-climate wine producing area.
The name comes from two Aboriginal words, 'coona' and 'booloo' meaning two headed beast or conjoined twins. There is a 360 degree view from the summit, which is often snow-capped in winter. The mountain is now part of a 15 square kilometre area controlled by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, which offers various walks: to Bald Hill; to Young Man Canobolas; Federal Falls to Mount Towac, etc.[1] The volcanic peaks give wide views and there are some attractive waterfalls. The mountain was first climbed by a European when Major Thomas Mitchell came there in 1835. An early squatter on the slopes of the Canobolas Range was Thomas Hood, whose father, John Hood, came from England for a visit in 1841, and wrote an account of the district. By 1848 Hood was lessee for Boree Cabonne.
The top of the mountain is now dominated by numerous towers used for television and radio transmissions across large areas of central New South Wales. These transmitters include towers for Airservices Australia, Royal Australian Air Force, Prime Television, WIN Television, Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Southern Cross Ten.
Each year the Orange Community runs the Great Volcanic Mountain Challenge, an 11 km walk and fun run from the Pinnacle to the Summit of Mount Canobolas by the volcanic plugs of Mount Towac and Young Man Canobolas. The inaugural event was held in 2006.[2]
Geology and landscape[edit]
Mount Canobolas is an extinct volcanic complex which erupted in several phases between 13 and 11 million years ago, making the mountain a relatively recent geological feature. Earlier eruptions were less violent with free flowing lavas reaching a maximum coverage extent of approximately 800 square kilometres. Later eruptions became more violent, and producing increasingly viscous lavas with less extensive coverage.
The contemporary landscape of Mount Canobolas exhibits erosional features dominated by several remnant peaks. Additional volcanic features are present within the zone of volcanic influence, including vents, dykes, peaks, domes and plugs.
The mountain's geologic history has yielded a variety of landforms which provide a range of environmental habitats, and notably rocky outcrops harbouring rare species of lichens. There are cliff features with waterfalls, such as the popular recreation locality, Federal Falls. Mount Canobolas is listed on the Register of the National Estate because of its geological significance.[3]
Highest point claims[edit]
Mount Canobolas is, as claimed, the highest point in New South Wales west of the Great Dividing Range, but is not, as is sometimes claimed, the highest point between Australia's Great Dividing Range and Africa, with both Mount Zeil in Australia's Northern Territory and Mount Woodroffe in South Australia being higher, at 1,531 metres and 1,435 metres, respectively. This would in any case be an insignificant claim to fame, since many of the tallest peaks in the Great Dividing Range are in fact further west than Mount Canobolas is. For example, Mount Bogong in Victoria at 1,986 metres and 36°44′S 147°18′E / 36.733°S 147.300°E is 591 metres higher and almost a degree and a half longitude further west. This translates to a difference of around 125 kilometres using the degree length formula.
The islands of Réunion and Madagascar also have higher peaks and are between the Great Dividing Range and Africa.

With less than four weeks to go before the end of the year, now is a good time to have a look at the winners and losers in 2009.
And now is also a good time to think about what we can expect in 2010.
The Australian sharemarket is tracking for a yearly gain of 27%. And the best sector has been the second largest sector on the Aussie market-the materials sector-which is tracking for a yearly gain of 42%.
This is not surprising given:
The two biggest companies in this sector are BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, although they saw vastly different returns. BHP Billiton has gained 37% while Rio Tinto has gained a massive 137%.
In second place is the smallest sector on our sharemarket which is the information technology sector.
This sector is tracking for a gain of 41% and has been helped by the three largest companies in this sector:
Still, all three companies are simply recovering from what was the Global Financial Crisis and none of these shares are yet trading higher than pre-GFC levels.
Not all sectors performed well. Four areas lost ground in 2009 and they were:
The worst by far was the telecom sector with a loss of 10%. Losses have been driven by Telstra, which makes up most of this sector and is down 10.7% year to date so far. Telstra shares have been punished with the NBN process and plans weighing on its share price.
Most of the bluechips on the Australian market managed gains, with 14 out of 20 of our largest companies recording gains.
Only six out of 20 managed losses. The biggest loss in this group was from QBE Insurance. This company is considered a great quality business by most analysts but the high Australian dollar is bad news for its profit.
The high Australian dollar and exposure to offshore earnings has also been bad news for Brambles, CSL and Westfield which saw declines of between 5-10% during the year.
The best gains were from:
2009 is a year that can be characterised by one word and that's 'recovery'. It looks like that recovery process with continue in 2010.
In particular, China will be a key factor for the Australian sharemarket given that it is a large driver of commodity prices.
The other theme is going to be around the Australian dollar which is still near 15 month highs. A high Australian dollar is great news for importers like our retailers but bad news for companies with offshore earnings.
Valuations now seem reasonable and investors will be watching for an improvement in earnings to support cheaper valuations.
All in all, while the recovery of 27% in 2009 has been welcome news for shareholders, for the market to return to pre-GFC levels, we still need to see a rise of 43% from where the market currently sits.
Let the recovery continue.

Former Mayor Jerry Lueck dead of gunshot wound
WICHITA FALLS - Former Wichita Falls Mayor Gerald "Jerry" Lueck, 74, died Tuesday in his home on Cartwright Road.
Police said Lueck died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He had been diagnosed with a terminal disease. His obituary states that he fought a courageous battle with cancer.
Lueck served as the mayor of Wichita Falls from 2000 to 2002. He was defeated in a re-election bid by City Councilor Bill Altman.
Lueck also ran on the Democratic primary ticket in 2006 for Wichita County judge but lost.
"He was interesting," said Woody Gossom, the long-time county judge who won re-election that year. "He had an interesting sense of humor and an interesting sense of fight."
During Lueck's reign as mayor, many stories were written about him.
"I guess the most memorable thing was his lime green tie with animal footprints on it," said Lueck's granddaughter, Caryn Die.
Amid all the controversy that circled Lueck, the tie was "his way of saying he wasn't going to let anybody walk all over him," Die said.
Times Record News articles from 2000 to 2002 paint pictures of the unusual situations Lueck got himself into.
One of the most memorable events was Lueck's involvement in the city council's trip to Ferstenfeldbruck, Germany, Wichita Falls' sister city.
"Mayor Lueck took a trip with a group known to loathe him" and "slamming the mayor has become an obsession with most members of the council over the past year," were comments written by a columnist after the group's return.
"He wanted to challenge those that he thought were in authority that didn't seem to care about the average person," Gossom said, a take which caused some controversy. "There were a thousand stories about him. He created a lot of comment."
Gossom recalled a time when Lueck showed up in an out-of-the-ordinary sport coat. "I said, Jerry, where did you get that?'"
He never did say, but told Gossom he wore it because he needed to see what it did for the television cameras. "And he thought it was great!
"One on one, he wasn't a bad guy, but he tested our patience in office," Gossom said.
Arthur Bea Williams, who served on the city council when Lueck was mayor, offered her condolences to Lueck's family and said the news of his death was a shock.
Die said condolences and online comments amazed her because it gave her a clear picture of how many people actually were behind her grandfather.
"He had a rough exterior, which is what most people had seen, but one thing I can honestly say about him is he had a soft side that a lot of people didn't see," she said.
She talked about his willingness to help her get started in college, but said his biggest pride and joy was his great-grandson Cameron Lueck. "My 12-year-old son probably knows more about farming than most people in Wichita Falls," Caryn Die said.
She said a near the end of 2009 he visited his children in Wisconsin and was complaining of pain. "He knew something was wrong but didn't know what."
In January, he went to a doctor, who diagnosed him with pancreatic cancer. Between that time and his death, the cancer had spread to has liver and lungs. "It was just a matter of time. He was in a lot of pain."
Lueck was born in Sparta, Wisconsin to Oscar and Vera Lueck. He is survived by his companion of 30 years, Delores LeBlanc; five children; Ronald Lueck of Burkburnett, Judy (Richard) Jackson and Lynette (Rick) Koller of Sparta, Wisconsin, Patrick Lueck of LaCrosse, Wisconsin and Jeannette Lunde of Onalaska, Wisconsin; also his brother Lloyd Lueck of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, and sisters Garnet Bina of St. Paul, Minnesota and Kathleen Schmidt of Delavan, Wisconsin; seven grandchildren Ronnie Lueck and Caryn (Craig) Die of Texas, Karie Sullivan, Leanne Hertzfeldt, Jessica Finneran, Kelly Olson, and Christian Lunde, all of Wisconsin. He also had nine great-grandchildren.
Visitation is Friday from 7 to 8 p.m. Funeral services are scheduled for Saturday at 10 a.m. at Owens and Brumley Funeral Home Chapel in Burkburnett. Burial will follow at the Burkburnett Memorial Cemetery.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Lux 11
Rosa-Luxemburg-Strasse 9-13, Berlin, Germany
Neighborhood: Mitte
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Most boutique hotels aim to create an immersive and theatrical experience, one that the low-maintenance traveler may find slightly overbearing. If you're the type that depends on the hotel bar for your entertainment and the hotel staff for your every need, then Lux 11 may feel a bit sparse. But for guests who know their way around Berlin Mitte, and simply need someplace stylish to lay their heads, this could be just the thing.
And for a residence you could do quite a bit worse. These rooms are cleverly laid out to feel much larger than they are, and feature well-equipped kitchenettes and luxurious modern bathrooms, and space-saving touches like wall-mounted flat-screen televisions. White-on-white rarely looked so good — you'll quickly remember why monochrome became the default boutique hotel color scheme.
Downstairs the Aveda spa and the Italian/Asian restaurant will see to all your corporeal needs. The main attraction, however, lies outside: the Mitte district is one of Berlin's hottest neighborhoods, home to an endless array of galleries, shops and restaurants as well as a sizable proportion of the city's media and design sectors.

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 11/7/14
The Red Sox have reportedly made two under-the-radar signings. Baseball America — which compiles a list of minor league transactions that are conveyed by Major League Baseball — reports that the Red Sox have signed right-hander Charlie Haeger and left-hander Christian Perdomo. Both hurlers join the organization with rather interesting stories. Haeger is a 29-year-old knuckleballer with 34 big league appearances to his credit. He last pitched in the majors with the Dodgers in 2010, going 0-4 with an 8.40 ERA in nine games (six starts). The righty is 2-7 with a 6.40 ERA in 83 career innings. If Haeger's name sounds familiar, it's because this isn't his first stint with the Red Sox organization. He actually pitched in five games with Double-A Portland during the 2011 season, going 4-1 with a 3.24 ERA in eight starts. The Sox released Haeger prior to last spring training, and he didn't pitch at all in 2012. Perdomo, meanwhile, arrives in Boston as an undrafted free agent who attended Advanced Software Analysis Junior College in Brooklyn. The 6-foot-5 Dominican Republic native only pitched in three games last season, according to the school's web site, but interestingly he previously attended George Washington High (the same school that produced Manny Ramirez). It's highly unlikely that either pitcher will make much of an impact in 2013, but aren't the best feel-good stories the ones that come completely out of left field? Have a question for Ricky Doyle? Send it to him via Twitter at @TheRickyDoyle or send it here.

Hi! My name is Jaime and this is a journal comic that I've been drawing since 2003. It's my diary in comic format, which means I draw about what happens in my life; big or small, memorable or trivial.
The title means "We'll remember forever this way," which isn't short and charming as in spanish, so I kept it untranslated.

since October 9th 2001.
May 16th: It's now officially the Summer of Opar! Ok, so we're several weeks early for summer, but there is no question we're going to spend most of it in Opar.
Last month we told you about Meteor House's forthcoming Restored Edition of FLIGHT TO OPAR—featuring nearly 4,000 words restored from Farmer's original manuscript and a slew of bonus materials. You can hear editor Christopher Paul Carey discuss the process, and even give some examples of the restored text in this Pulp Crazy interview with Jason Aiken.
This week Meteor House made two more major announcements concerning Opar. First, EXILES OF KHO, by Christopher Paul Carey, their first Signed Limited Edition novella (originally published only in trade paperback and out of print since 2013) is coming out in a Signed Limited Edition hardcover—with all-new cover art by Mark Wheatley!
And second, they are now taking preorders for a brand-new tale in Philip José Farmer's Khokarsa series from Christopher Paul Carey, HADON, KING OF OPAR! Set fourteen years after the events of THE SONG OF KWASIN (co-written by Philip José Farmer and Christopher Paul Carey) this new novella will be published in two editions—Signed Limited Edition trade paperback and hardcover—featuring stunning artwork by Bob Eggleton! And as with their earlier novellas, if you preorder the book (by July 1st), your name will be listed in the acknowledgements. How cool is that?
Meteor House also has a Special Package Deal where you can order the hardcover of EXILES OF KHO and HADON, KING OF OPAR, (in trade paperback, hardcover, or both) together and save money!
Lot's of great summer reading on tap for everyone!
This new edition features nearly 4,000 words that were cut from Farmer's original manuscript when the novel was published in 1976. This is the first and only publication of the novel ever to include the excised material, which encompasses long passages of narrative, dialogue, and rich world-building details on Ancient Opar and the civilization of Khokarsa that readers have never previously been able to enjoy—until now.
Visit the Meteor House website for the full list of bonus materials by Christopher Paul Carey, S.M. Stirling, and Philip José Farmer himself. Then decide if you want to preorder the limited edition hardcover (signed by the editor Christopher Paul Carey), or the trade paperback edition (signed by Carey if you order before FarmerCon X), or both!
You can reserve a room at the Hyatt Regency at the special convention rate of $116 per night plus tax, which includes one free parking pass and free Wi-Fi, if you do so by July 1, 2015. Additional cars will be charged at the discounted rate of $10 overnight with in/out privileges. Matsuricon members will be paying nearly twenty dollars more for rooms and parking.
There are two ways to place a reservation. You can book a room online by clicking here. You can also call 1-888-421-1442 to book a room by telephone. However, be sure to mention PulpFest 2015 to get the special convention rate. By staying at the Hyatt Regency, you'll help to ensure the convention's success.
Speaking of FarmerCon, what better way to celebrate Phil's birthday than to register for FarmerCon X at PulpFest! If you have never been, FarmerCon is held in conjuction with PulpFest, which is "Summer's Great Pulp Con." PulpFest has a massive dealer's room, lots of interesting programming, including a FarmerCon presentation, an auction, awards, a group dinner, a FarmerCon group dinner, book signings, and lots of hanging out with your friends talking late into the night. If you have never been, come see what you're missing, and come see why most FarmerCon attendees come year after year.
To celebrate Wold Newton Day this year, we are having an unprecedented sale on items from Philip José Farmer's Estate Sale. Every item for sale from the Estate is 60% off today through December 24th! There are still nearly fifty books signed by Farmer himself for sale, there are over thirty books inscribed to Farmer from other authors, and many more interesting titles.
That's it, this update is short and sweet as promised. Although we will add another reminder to pick up a copy of PHILEAS FOGG AND THE WAR OF SHADOWS, by Josh Reynolds, before they are all gone.
So, let's conclude this short update with this bit of news: Meteor House's latest Signed Limited Edition Novella (available in both hardcover and paperback editions), PHILEAS FOGG AND THE WAR OF SHADOWS by Josh Reynolds, is pretty close to selling out. You might want to grab yourself a copy while you can.
Speaking of those two earlier novellas, here is our second big news item: while the Signed Limited Editions are out of print, both EXILES OF KHO and THE SCARLET JAGUAR are now available as ebooks for only $3.99 each. Just follow those links and you can be reading them on your Kindle in a just a few moments (Nook version coming soon). Now, if you have already purchased and read the novellas, and have no desire to buy the ebooks, please do us a small favor and click on the links anyway. Then do us HUGE favor and leave a review of each book. The more reviews a book has, the more likely it is to come up as a recommendation when readers are searching for similar titles.
While ebook editions of out of print books are exciting news around here, we have a third announcement from Meteor House that is even more exciting to us book collectors: Meteor House is publishing the first trade paperback edition of THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE. The book will be released at FarmerCon IX. While this trade edition is NOT a signed limited edition (as most of their books are), if you preorder by June 30th, your copy will be signed by co-author Win Scott Eckert!
Ok, enough about Meteor House already! (Just kidding, we appreciate all they do to keep Phil's name out there and keep bringing us new books to read.) Here is something really cool, the type of thing we don't see too much of anymore: an in-depth article about some of Farmer's work. The entire two-page issue of the Gridley Wave #370 is an article by Henry G. Franke III about the Khokarsa series.
Speaking of the Gridley Wave, Christopher Paul Carey alerted us to an online archive of the ERB fanzine which contains a slew of Farmer related material: from advertising items for HADON OF ANCIENT OPAR, TARZAN ALIVE, and MOTHER WAS A LOVELY BEAST, to notes that Farmer was a guest at a Dum-Dum we didn't know about, to links to reviews of LORD OF THE TREES, THE ADVENTURE OF THE PEERLESS PEER, HADON OF ANCIENT OPAR. Chris also managed to find two letters Phil wrote that appeared in Erbania 79, and Erbania 83.
To keep up with all this news, in addition following us on Facebook, you can bookmark the Pemberley House website, and follow Meteor House on Twitter.
Thanks to the googlefu of Christopher Paul Carey we have added some new information to the Programs and Conventions page. Phil and Frederick Pohl were guests at The Science Fiction Space Happenings II in Springfield, MA March 5 1978. At that convention they were both interviewed for a Space:1999 fanzine called Alphalog 6. (The International Bibiliography posted this a few years ago but we somehow missed it). The interview is pretty interesting, but you don't have to take our word for it, you can read it for yourself.
Chris also discovered that Phil was the guest of honor at Icon (Iowa) 15, Coralville, Iowa, September 28-30 1990. We don't have lot of information about this convention other than they performed the following short play: Who Fragged Phil Farmer -- Philip Jose Farmer, ICON 15 writer guest of honor, has been murdered. Deckard must find the killer. Could it be Jessica Rabbit? Spamajello? Tarzan? Or someone else? You never know what you're going to see at a science fiction convention... We haven't done any plays at a FarmerCon to date, but who knows. We've had some pretty awesome dramatic readings by Chuck Loridans. We're not sure if he can top last year's reading of The Jungle Rot Kid on the Nod.
Long time Farmer fan and collector Mitch West also sent us a few goodies that we've added to the site. We've long known that Phil was the Guest of Honor at Baycon 1968, in San Francisco when he won his second Hugo Award for Riders of the Purple Wage but we didn't know of this neat little bio that was written for progress report 2. Mitch also sent us an item for one of our favorite pages, our collection of uncorrected proof images. He was kind enough to send us a scan of THE LAVALITE WORLD the fifth oldest known proof.
And finally some news big enough to for Phil's birthday: THE WORLDS OF PHILIP JOSÉ FARMER 4: Voyages to Strange Days will be out in the spring and is now available for preorder!
While the first three volumes in the series have focused on unique aspects of Farmer's career, such as, his disregard for literary boundaries, his penchant for the softer sciences, and his trickster nature, volume 4 focuses on his more "traditional" science fiction—the science fiction of the future (occasionally the really distant future) featuring interstellar travel, aliens, war, scientists, the usual suspects in Golden Age science fiction.
And though the full table of contents is not ready to be announced, Meteor House is proud to announce that the foreword is by science fiction Grand Master Robert Silverberg and is in fact, a much longer version of his Reflections column from the February 2014 issue of Asimov's.
Go check it out! As Meteor House has done in the past, the first 100 readers to preorder the book will receive a limited edition bookmark with their purchase! As of today there about forty left. So you might want to order yours quick.
Let's take a quick moment to appreciate what a good year 2013 was for Farmer fans...
Titan Books finished their run of twelve Farmer reprints with HADON OF ANCIENT OPAR, THE WIND WHALES OF ISHMAEL, THE MAD GOBLIN, LORD TYGER, FLESH, TALES OF THE WOLD NEWTON UNIVERSE, and VENUS ON THE HALF-SHELL.
Meteor House published their second signed limited edition Farmer-related novella THE SCARLET JAGUAR (now sold out) and their first hardcover, a reprint of DOC SAVAGE: HIS APOCALYPTIC LIFE, featuring bonus material by Farmer and others. While they did not print the next volume in THE WORLDS OF PHILIP JOSÉ FARMER series, they assure us that announcement about Volume 4 is imminent.
FarmerCon VIII was a great success and plans are already in the works to make FarmerCon IX the best yet.
In addition to another great FarmerCon, 2014 will include some important reprints, new Farmer-related fiction and other books of interest. Stay tuned! Or better yet, follow us on facebook to never miss an announcement.
Ok, so we made that up, it's a complete coincidence that the collection is coming out one day before the anniversary, but we'll consider it a present anyway. Thank you Titan Books! As we said, this is the first ever collection of Wold Newton stories and if that idea alone doesn't get you excited, do yourself a favor and read the introduction.
If you somehow still haven't ordered this Brodingnagian collection of nearly 500 pages of Wold Newton adventure, let's take a look at the Table of Contents:
If you appreciate all the hard work Titan Books has done on this series, why don't you tell them so? And tell them you want more besides! Tell them you want reprints of FLIGHT TO OPAR, and THE SONG OF KWASIN, and THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE, and THE STONE GOD AWAKENS, and TRAITOR TO THE LIVING, and IRONCASTLE, and A BARNSTORMER IN OZ, and ESCAPE FROM LOKI and THE DARK HEART OF TIME and UP FROM THE BOTTOMLESS PIT, and any other favorites of yours! Send an email to readerfeedback @ titanemail.com and tell them that VENUS ON THE HALF-SHELL can't be the end!

Latest Europa Jupiter System Mission Stories
Jupiter's moon Europa, with its icy surface and potential for a liquid ocean underneath, has fascinated scientists for years and a new NASA-backed report looks at just how an exploratory mission might play out on its surface.
The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer mission, JUICE, will carry a total of 11 scientific experiments to study the gas giant planet and its large ocean-bearing moons, ESA announced today.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has selected a Jupiter probe to be its next "large class" space endeavor after a five-year-long competition.
With input from scientists around the world, American and European scientists working on the potential next new mission to the Jupiter system have articulated their joint vision for the Europa Jupiter System Mission.
Officials with NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) met in Washington last week, deciding to pursue an ambitious plan to send a probe on a mission to Jupiter and Europa, the planet's icy moon. A mission to visit Titan and Enceladus is also being considered.
US and European space officials are considering proposals to send probes to the outer planets of the solar system.
Jupiter's moon Europa is just as far away as ever, but new research is bringing scientists closer to being able to explore its tantalizing ice-covered ocean and determine its potential for harboring life.

Some California legislators are poised to repeal Proposition 187, a controversial 20-year-old initiative that was ruled unconstitutional by a federal court and never enforced. But law scholars question whether the elected officials have the legal authority to act on their own.
"The California Constitution says you can't amend or repeal an approved measure without submitting it to the voters unless there's a waiver clause," said Jessica A. Levinson, a Loyola Law School professor who specializes on election law.
Prop. 187, which sought to cut off public education, health care and welfare benefits to undocumented immigrants in California, had no such waiver, said John C. Eastman, a Chapman University Law School professor and founding director of the Claremont Institute's Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence.
"These guys are acting lawlessly," Eastman said. "They'll do it if they think they can get away with it and no one will challenge them."
California voters approved Prop. 187 – also known as the "Save our State" campaign – in November 1994 with almost 60 percent approval. A federal court ruled most of the provisions unconstitutional. And the measure was not enforced. But some of the language remains embedded in various codes, including education codes.
Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, said he learned of its existence in California codes accidentally. He was recently talking to his staff about his personal history and recounting how he "cut my teeth politically against the 187 campaign." Chief of Staff Dan Reeves decided to look into the proposition and found it had not been removed.
"These code sections are unenforceable. The Legislature has the right and power and authority to maintain the codes with our statutes and that's we're doing," Reeves said.
"Essentially, it's code cleaning," he said.
De Leon's staff consulted with the state's legislative counsel, Diane Boyer-Vine, whose opinion was that "it's not necessary to go back to the voters," Reeves said.
The bill, announced during a news conference Wednesday in Sacramento, would repeal most of Prop. 187 but leave two sections that deal with fraudulent documentation that were not affected by the court decision that struck down the rest of the measure.
Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UCI Law School, noted that the move by de Leon and other supporters is largely symbolic, but he also said the Legislature "cannot do it on its own."
"Usually, when a law is struck down and not enforced, the challengers are satisfied with that. Here, the challengers don't want the law on the books. That's unusual. But it's not unheard of," Chemerinsky said. "I think this is like those who wanted to repeal Jim Crow laws from the books after they no longer were constitutional."
Reeves said he suspects this issue may "spark a lot of people to go back and look at the books" for other laws that were struck down but not completely erased. "The next shoe to drop is what to do with Prop. 8," he said. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down Prop. 8, a California anti-gay marriage initiative, last year.
De Leon calls Prop. 187 "the most mean-spirited proposition in California's history." Told of the legal scholars' opinions, he said: "Those professors can keep professing." Erasing the language of Prop. 187, he said, would be "powerfully symbolic."
Lupe Morfin, formerly known as Lupe Moreno, was a leader in the Prop. 187 campaign, which originated in Orange County. She questioned why legislators would want to remove it from the books.

ROANECOUNTY, T.N. -- The Tennessee Highway Patrol is looking to determine the circumstances surrounding the death of a Lancaster County man whose body was found on the side of the interstate on Christmas Day.
THP says the body of 42-year-old Brian William Taylor, of Heath Springs, South Carolina, was found on the side of Interstate 40 in Roane County, Tennessee, on Christmas morning.
Around 2:30, troopers received a call that a body was spotted near mile marker 364 on the eastbound side of the interstate.
The preliminary investigation concludes that Taylor either jumped or fell from a moving vehicle, and was then struck by at least one other car.
Investigators are looking at all possible scenarios, including foul play.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact THP Knoxville Division at (865) 594-5800.

Gives easy access to the hidden Android menu on my chinese tablet running Android 4.03. I needed to know the battery voltage: that was the simplest solution that I was able to find. The application offered the selection of a phone on my non-phone tablet ! And it worked. That was a pleasant surprise.

Best app to switch between 2G only and 3G only mode. Typing the number *#*#4636#*#* is a tedious process.Best utility in areas were 3G coverage is still bad.Fluctuations due to lack of signal can cause internet to go off,and drain battery.

Not on the S3 either sadly. I get nothing except number not recognised.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was very well done with some great history that Judy shared with us. I was impressed with the care and attention to detail that went into it. The rooms were clean and there were plenty of snacks and breakfast goodies. My husband left a shirt and we received it in the mail a few days after we got home. Thanks for a great weekend!

My wife and I stayed at our first bed and breakfast, after 14 years of marriage, and we were really impressed with so many things at this home. The rooms were clean, and neatly decorated to fit the whole entire home. The service was outstanding! The innkeeper was very nice and welcoming during our two day stay at the home, especially during the Iceman Cometh race knowing that we were going to be coming back to the home a little cold, muddy and wet from the 30 mile mountain bike race. For that, we thank you for your service and hospitality. We don't have any experience staying with any other bed and breakfast homes, so we thought that our lodging expenses were at a great value. Pricing out the local hotels, and comparing them to this home were not much different, and I wouldn't trade the quality location, rooms and wonderful service by the innkeeper for a casino or hotel and resort facility. The innkeeper served a wonderful breakfast buffet of items to the guest, including some wonder scones from the local bakery. Wow, those were good, and I ate a majority of them when the other guests were out of the kitchen enjoying the nice fireplace! We will plan on staying again at Yorkburg Manor, and would recommend that bed and breakfast to anyone traveling to the Traverse City, Michigan.

Thank you so much for your kind review. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. That entire weekend was filled with fun and laughter and all of the guests seemed to really enjoy themselves and have such a good time. We look forward to having everyone back. Hugs!!

The Yourkburg Manor is a true gem that everyone should have a chance to experience. My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, Judy & John went the extra mile to be welcoming. They suggested a great place for our celebratory dinner, and were at the ready to help out with anything else we needed. The manor is beautifully restored and incredibly clean. A place we will return to!

This is my first stay at a B&B and it has been phenomenal! The hospitality shown here is just incredible. I can't wait to return.

We recently stayed at this location and I was so impressed that I felt obligated to search this site out and leave a review. Judy and John are superb hosts. The B&B was clean, unique and comfortable. Judy went out of her way to make us comfortable. We spent our mornings watching the birds while eating breakfast on the porch. Drove into Traverse City for the day, which was only a 15 minute drive, and then back to a relaxing and quiet atmosphere. I mentioned how much we enjoyed the local bread that she served us at breakfast that she ordered some more for us to take home! Who does that?! My next trip to this area will definately include a stay at this location. Thanks againg Judy.

We had a great experience at Yorkburg Manor. John and Judy were friendly and knowledgeable. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was "serve yourself", and there were plenty of choices.

The team captain secures the Gold with the greatest goal in American sports history1980 Mike Eruzione "The Miracle on Ice" Game Used Stick that Scored the Winning Goal. If the Miracle on Ice was the greatest David and Goliath tale in American sports, then this is the sling that launched the fatal blow. It came with precisely ten minutes left in regulation, just eighty-one seconds after Mark Johnson capitalized on an American power play to pull the underdogs even with the Russians at three goals apiece. Moments after coming onto the ice in a shift change, Mark Pavelich found Eruzione undefended in the high slot. As Soviet defenseman Vasili Pervukhin crossed goalie Vladimir Myshkin's field of vision to obstruct the American captain's path to the net, Eruzione made use of the unintentional screen with a low shot that snuck beneath Myshkin's right skate.
"Now we've got bedlam," shouted television commentator Al Michaels when the roar of the Field House finally receded to a level that made speech possible. In less than a minute and a half, the Americans had struck twice, and the Russian veterans were trailing for the first time in the tournament. What would follow was ten of the most frenetic minutes of hockey ever played, the Soviets growing increasingly panicked as the clock ticked down on an unimaginable, and thoroughly unacceptable, result. A shot by Aleksandr Maltsev, who had broken the tie for the Russians with their third goal, glanced off Jim Craig's right post. Coach Brooks resisted the urge to go into a defensive crouch, encouraging his Americans to continue the attack. "Play your game. Play your game," he instructed. At thirty-three seconds to go, Craig kicked away a Petrov slap shot. Kharlamov fired the puck back in as the timer ticked below twenty. A wild scramble, and the Americans cleared the zone.
"Eleven seconds, you've got ten seconds, the countdown going on right now! Morrow, up to Silk. Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles?! Yes!!"
Hobby history was made in 2004 when the bat used by Babe Ruth to hit the first home run at Yankee Stadium realized a price of $1,265,000. While there is admittedly a disparity in the size and strength of the baseball collectibles market in relation to hockey, it would be difficult to defend the position that Ruth's Louisville Slugger carries equivalent historical importance to the Northland stick that makes its auction debut here. Still bearing the Captain's original grip tape at handle and blade, Eruzione's left-handed weapon bears his stamped surname on both sides of the shaft and his faded handwritten lettering stating, "Feb 22 1980 USA 4 Russia 3" and "Winning Goal Stick Against Russia." Solid game use evident. Letter of provenance from Mike Eruzione. LOA from Heritage Auctions.
*A donation of $100 to the American Red Cross is required to attend the Live auction.

Arrangement to last for a year in 12 zones, pending privatisation of operations
Temporary arrangements for transportation of debris and garbage in yet-to-be-privatised zones are likely to be in place this week.
The Chennai Corporation Council is likely to permit a private player to cart garbage and debris in 12 zones using tipper lorries for a period of one year. The temporary arrangement has been proposed to cope with the challenge of inadequate garbage clearance in the newly added zones – Tiruvottiyur, Manali, Madhavaram, Ambattur, Valasaravakkam, Alandur, Perungudi and Sholinganallur.
The private player's services will be used to clear garbage during emergencies or during festivals when there is a pressing need for swift action. The civic body has been using the services of private contractors on account of the shortage of conservancy workers and vehicles in the 12 zones. However, the differing rates charged by such private contractors have been a source of concern to the Corporation. The proposed temporary arrangement involves the transfer of debris or garbage from streets to transfer stations on a tonnage basis.
The proposed hire charge per tonne is different for debris removal and garbage removal. The charges include the labour charges for removal of the debris or garbage from the streets and transfer stations.
Two months ago, the Chennai Corporation Council approved the proposal for gradual privatisation of conservancy operations in all zones. The Corporation had sought privatisation as part of its efforts to shortlist suitable technology for remediation and scientific closure of the Perungudi and Kodungaiyur dump yards. Currently, conservancy operations in zones such as Teynampet, Kodambakkam, Adyar and parts of Ambattur are being carried out under Public Private Partnership mode.
The proposed temporary arrangement is likely to be in place till the entire conservancy operations are privatised in all the zones.
The civic body is also getting ready to tackle the crisis in the wake of the third show-cause notice to Ramky Enviro Engineers on Saturday. The civic body had asked for explanations for deficiencies it listed out in individual wards. The company carries out conservancy operations in Adyar, Teynampet and Kodambakkam zones.

Google Polishes Its Chrome Browser
The latest version of Google's Chrome web browser promises quick and responsive internet use.
"We realize that speed isn't just about pure brawn in the browser. It's also about saving time with simple interfaces," Google engineer Tim Steele said in a Tuesday blog post.
Improvements include settings for bookmarks, passwords, searches and home pages as well as enhanced protection from browser malware.
The latest Chrome browser software is available free online at google.com/chrome. Earlier versions of the Web browser already being used in computers will be automatically updated, according to Google.
"It's also about saving time with simple interfaces. Chrome's new settings interface will help you get to the right settings quickly so you don't have to dig endlessly to find a way to import your bookmarks or change your browser's home page," according to the blog post.
Users who save passwords in the browser can quickly log on to websites they frequent, even on different computers. This can be done by synchronizing the passwords from a Chrome browser on one computer to a Chrome browser on another, by entering one's Google account credentials.
"You can also encrypt those passwords with your own secret pass phrase for extra security," Google claims. Passwords are the latest items that can be synchronized in Chrome, after bookmarks, extensions, preferences, and themes.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer is the most widely used Web browser in the United States followed by Firefox, Chrome and Apple's Safari.

2014-05-02 22:40:46| 分类: OAuth2.0 漏洞 | 标签: |举报 |字号大中小 订阅
A Covert Redirect vulnerability related to Facebook was found and reported.
Facebook said "Short of forcing every single application on the platform to use a whitelist, which isn't something that can be accomplished in the short term, do you have any recommendations on actions we can take here?"
In my reply, I suggested "For any URL, it has a particular value "&h". If the URL is changed. there is no permission any more. That means the modified URL will not get any "&h". Because it is illegal."
Facebook agreed. "As you mentioned, that's how our Linkshim system works. As I said, that doesn't seem to be a feasible solution for an OAuth endpoint where the URL needs to be provided by a third-party site to arbitrary random users."
Facebook's SSO system is susceptible to Attacks. More specifically, the authentication of parameter "&redirct_uri" in SSO system is insufficient. It can be misused to design Open Redirect Attacks to Facebook.
At the same time, it can be used to collect sensitive
information of both third-party app and users by using the following
It increases the likelihood of successful Open Redirect Attacks to third-party websites, too.
The vulnerabilities occurs at page "/dialog/oauth?" with parameter "&redirect_uri", e.g.
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth... [1]
Before acceptance of third-party application:
When a logged-in Facebook user clicks the URL ([1]) above, he/she will be asked for consent as in whether to allow a third-party website to receive his/her information. If the user clicks OK, he/she will be then redirected to the URL assigned to the parameter "&redirect_uri".
If a user has not logged onto Facebook and clicks the URL ([1]) above, the same situation will happen upon login.
After acceptance of third-party application:
A logged-in Facebook user would no longer be asked for consent and could be redirected to a webpage controlled by the attacker when he/she clicks the URL ([1]).
For a user who has not logged in, the attack could still be completed after a pop-up page that prompts him/her to log in.
(1) Facebook would normally allow all the URLs that belong to the domain of an authorized third-party website. However, these URLs could be prone to manipulation. For example, the "&redirect_uri" parameter in the URLs is supposed to be set by the third-party websites, but an attacker could change its value to make Attacks.
Hence, a user could be redirected from Facebook to a vulnerable URL in that domain first and later be redirected from this vulnerable site to a malicious site unwillingly. This is as if the user is redirected from Facebook directly. The number of Facebook's SSO client websites is so huge that such Attacks could be commonplace.
Before acceptance of the third-party application, Facebook's SSO system makes the redirects appear more trustworthy and could potentially increase the likelihood of successful Open Redirect Attacks of third-party website.
Once the user accepts the application, the attackers could completely bypass Facebook's authentication system and attack more easily.
It might be of Facebook's interest to patch up against such attacks.
(2) Used one of webpages for the following tests. The webpage is "http://www.tetraph.com/essayjeans/poe.... We can suppose it is malicious and contains code that collect sensitive information of both third-party app and users.
Below is an example of a vulnerable third-party domain:
Vulnerable URL in this domain:
Vulnerable URL from Facebook that is related to ask.com:
(3) The following URLs have the same vulnerabilities.
Tests were performed on Firefox (26.0) in Ubuntu (12.04) and IE (9.0.15) in Windows
