Alternative Racist Conference Welcomes Jews
Summer Issue
Janet Smith
Angered at the anti-Semitism of a key racist conference, a Jewish astrophysicist hosts his own to bash blacks, Muslims and Latinos
Baltimore, Md. — Seventy people, including a few well-known mainstream academics, joined prominent white nationalists and academic racists gathered in the Four Points Sheraton at the Baltimore/Washington International airport this February for the first-ever "Preserving Western Civilization Conference." Its aim: to defend "America's Judeo-Christian heritage and European identity." But not much civilized was said there. Rather, the discussion centered around claims that blacks are not as intelligent as whites, immigrants are destroying America, and Islam is no religion of peace — it's expansionist, intolerant, militant, and seeks to destroy.
The conference was convened by Jewish astrophysicist Michael Hart, author of the racist book Understanding Human History, which focuses on alleged differences in intelligence between various ethnic and racial groups. In the past, Hart was a regular at the biannual conferences put on by American Renaissance, a racist publication whose editor wrote, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, that "[w]hen blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization — any kind of civilization — disappears." Though few in number, Jewish academic racists were active in American Renaissance right from the start, welcomed by that group's leader, Jared Taylor, who even once arranged for kosher meals. But Taylor has also welcomed as speakers outspoken anti-Semites, including Holocaust denier Sam Dickson and neo-Nazi activist Steven Barry, making for a potentially volatile situation.
In 2006, the explosion went off, and the façade of civility that Taylor had tried to maintain by requiring polite language and professional attire shattered. The conflict was triggered by former Klan boss and professional anti-Semite David Duke, who attacked Jews, telling the crowd, "There is a power in the world that dominates our media, influences our government and that has led to the internal destruction of our will and spirit." Though Duke didn't directly say Jews were that power, everyone in the crowd, which included several members of the neo-Nazi National Alliance, knew exactly who he meant, and many cried for more.
Hart couldn't take it. He stood up and yelled at Duke, "You fucking Nazi, you've disgraced this meeting!" and stormed out. As many as 50 people at the conference then began to jeer and point at the rapidly disappearing Hart.
Hart and other Jewish academic racists left American Renaissance shortly thereafter, when Taylor declined to explicitly ban anti-Semites. But Hart was apparently not ready to give up public discussion of the superiority of the white race. Hence, "Preserving Western Civilization," Hart's Jewish-friendly replacement for the American Renaissance conference.
Detritus From Academia
Hart's February event drew some heavy hitters from mainstream academia. Among the speakers was Lino Graglia, the current A. Dalton Cross Professor of Law at the University of Texas. A longtime critic of affirmative action, Graglia contends that the children of undocumented workers born in the U.S. should not be granted American citizenship. According to Graglia, making an argument popular in white nationalist circles, the Fourteenth Amendment, which granted civil rights to former slaves, was not meant to grant citizenship to children of the undocumented.
Graglia also said that the Fourteenth Amendment wasn't properly ratified, because the Southern states were coerced into passing it after the Civil War. Citing the Fourteenth Amendment's clause "subject to the jurisdiction thereof," Graglia alleges that since the parents are subject to the jurisdiction of the Mexican government, so, too, should their children be. A one-time attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, Graglia suggested that birthright citizenship is subject to challenge in the courts and that Congress can revoke it by statute.
Roger McGrath, a former professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, and commentator for History Channel documentaries, also talked about the evils of illegal immigration. A native Californian, McGrath depicted California as "paradise lost" and the U.S. as suffering "nothing less than a foreign invasion."
McGrath, who claimed whites were being ethnically cleansed from their own country, blamed the civil rights laws of the 1960s for driving whites into the minority. And with non-whites come trouble, said McGrath, citing California's collapsing bond rating, state prisons crowded with "illegal aliens," and billions a year in benefits to immigrants. Recalling the good old days of the infamously named Operation Wetback, McGrath pointed out that back then "we rounded up and deported illegal aliens back to where they came from."
"Do we not have a right to preserve our way of life?" McGrath asked, reflecting a common sentiment at the conference.
The Latino bashing was rounded out with a presentation by Peter Brimelow, who runs the anti-immigrant hate site VDARE.com, named for the first white child born in the English colonies, Virginia Dare. "There is no benefit to the native-born from immigration," Brimelow said, adding without a hint of irony that immigration "only destroys national community." (Brimelow is himself a naturalized immigrant from Britain.) Calling the Obama administration an "occupation government," Brimelow warned darkly of a future in which the First Amendment would be abrogated in the name of curtailing hate speech and secession movements would arise throughout the country. Brimelow had one suggestion for putting a stop to this possible future: a new, all-white political party.
Some of the most inflammatory presentations of the conference came from regulars on the academic racist circuit, particularly those into race and IQ studies. Steve Farron, author of The Affirmative Action Hoax: Diversity, the Importance of Character, and other Lies, is a former classics professor at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Nowadays he specializes in "proving" the inferiority of blacks. According to Farron, "Any black 12th grader solves problems at the same level of a 6th grade white child." Farron alleges that blacks with post-graduate degrees have IQs equal to whites with high school diplomas. Farron said his "research" showed that only 18% of blacks understand bus schedules, while just 14% can make change or figure a tip on a simple luncheon bill. Farron also claimed that another study had shown more black police officers means more violent crime in a community.
Farron's claims were abetted by J. Philippe Rushton, a psychology professor at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, who also heads the New York City-based Pioneer Fund, a racist foundation set up in 1937 to funnel money to the study of "race betterment." Hauling out his PowerPoint presentation on "The Heritability of IQ Differences," which he also used at the 2008 American Renaissance conference, Rushton said that IQ research is an important part of science and claimed that IQ tests can predict almost everything — the speed of learning a new job, job performance, dropout/welfare rates, brain size, and longevity. But his main interest is his claim that the average IQ of whites is substantially higher than that of blacks. Bringing up age-old and thoroughly debunked assertions, Rushton also claimed that brain size and IQ are related and that blacks have smaller brains. And he asserted that blacks are more aggressive than other races and that aggressive, closed-minded people have lower IQs.
Islam's Turn
It wasn't just minorities who were slammed at Hart's conference. Muslims came in for some serious drubbing, too. Brenda Walker, an anti-immigrant activist in California who writes frequently for VDARE.com, warned that Western civilization is being destroyed by "immigrants and multiculturalism." She argued that Islam suppresses women's rights and that Islamic culture includes honor killing, wife beating, female circumcision, and the production of deformed babies because of marriages between cousins. Walker then spread out to describe the abominable aspects of various other immigrants, saying that "sex with children in Mexico is accepted," the Chinese kidnap and sell women, and East Asian Indians practice indentured servitude and dowry murders.
Lawrence Auster, a right-wing blogger and essayist who has spoken in the past to American Renaissance and who is of Jewish descent, told the audience that the U.S. needs a constitutional amendment to prohibit Islam, which would encourage Muslims to leave on their own. Auster's other suggestion for our nation's leaders: "Go to Saudi Arabia, seize the oil, operate the oil fields and adjacent transportation facilities until we get our own energy." For Auster, Islam, political correctness and multiculturalism are a toxic trio. "If a society can't distinguish itself, it will not continue to exist," he told those assembled. "If we open ourselves to threats, we go out of existence."
Hart, having compared the Koran to Mein Kampf and Islam to Nazism, no doubt agreed with Auster.
The lowlight of the conference was a banquet on Saturday night featuring entertainment in the form of Jewish comedienne Julia Gorin, a self-proclaimed "conservative" joker who also writes for Jewish World Review. Gorin's routine was filled with anti-Muslim and anti-Obama jokes, which were real crowd pleasers. To wit: "But you see, to a Jew there is no greater accomplishment than getting a black man into the White House. The thinking goes: 'Our work is done. It's OK if the Muslims come kill us now.'" In another skit, Gorin joked that Osama bin Laden was probably already dead — "from laughing his ass off." Fittingly, many of Gorin's jokes are featured in the Complete Idiot's Guide to Jokes.


Whether you are hosting a wedding, a graduation or a Bar Mitzvah, the food you serve plays a huge role in your guests' enjoyment of the event. Thus, if one or more of your guests suffer from a food allergy or adheres to a special diet, you need an event catering company that can accommodate those requirements and simultaneously please everyone who walks through the door.
More and more people are going gluten free. Some may have slight sensitivities which can cause discomfort while others may experience severe distress or medical issues due to accidental consumption. In addition to the growing gluten-free trend, allergies to nuts, certain legumes, berries, citrus, dairy, and eggs can cause anything from annoyance to life-threatening reactions in extreme cases. It is important to know your guests and understand their dietary restrictions to prevent issues. As you plan your event catering it may be wise to include an area on your RSVPs for guests to include special dietary requirements.
Inexperienced or untrained caterers sometimes misunderstand special requests, including allergy issues. For example, an untrained caterer may not realize that allergens can transfer from a shared spoon, mixer, pan or chopping block. Likewise, caterers without experience may not know how to prepare event staples like cake without the use of gluten. The best catering companies, however, have protocols in place for gluten-free, allergen-free, vegetarian and paleo/low carb meals.
If you have special allergy or dietary considerations, discuss this issue with potential caterers before you hire anyone. No one wants their special day interrupted or overshadowed by a Bay Area wedding catering mistake that causes their loved ones to have an allergic reaction. Make sure the caterer you choose understands your needs and can create an outstanding meal that meets them. If you plan to serve foods containing common allergens, label them so allergic guests can avoid a reaction. If guests on your list are diabetic, consider offering controlled or reduced carbohydrate and sugar options, so that they can enjoy the cuisine without having to worry about potential blood sugar spikes.
The best catering company in the Bay Area, with an experienced, knowledgeable team, Handheld Catering can create a menu that satisfies everyone on your guest list. Please call (408) 692-4782 or send us a message to discuss your vision for the event, so we can help you make it a reality.

Change Over Time: Elizabeth Stout's Olive Kitteridge
Posted byhm August 11, 2012 Posted ininterconnected stories, place, review
Elizabeth Stout's Olive Kitteridge invites readers into the lives of the residents of Crosby, Maine, and most intimately into the lives of teacher Olive Kitteridge and pharmacist Henry Kitteridge. Oliver and Henry are perfectly situated in the town to observe, and to be observed by, other residents. Hopeful moments flicker through the fog of what is essentially a sad book—sad because people die, people betray each other, people come to the end of their lives wrestling with what defines the core of their beings. One story in this suite of interconnected stories ends with a bittersweet meditation that captures the book: "Because what did they have now, except for each other, and what could you do if it was not even quite that?" (139) But the book also reveals unexpected human connections and the beauty of old women, even the grumpy mean ones like Olive Kitteridge, who seems so easy to label and yet so difficult to nail down. What Olive Kitteridge does exceptionally well is to reinforce the connections among the characters even as the point of view and the setting in time shift with each story, so that even when previously introduced characters (particularly Olive) do not explicitly appear in a story, the reader knows exactly where she is, and can imagine an ever-expanding universe of relationships, memories, regrets, and tragedies.
Olive Kitteridge is, more than anything, a story of change over time in a particular part of the world. Maine comes alive in this book: the marina, lobster crates, Norwegian pines and lilac bushes, rivers, tides, isolation, and the proximity to New York and Canada all contribute to Maine's presence in the story. There are references to and brief sojourns in other parts of the country—California, New York City—but they only solidify the sense of Maine, which seems, at least in this story, outside of time. Time passes over the course of the book—it opens with Henry's story, a few decades prior to Henry's retirement, and closes a year after Henry's death—but of the trio of place, change and time, time seems the least important to Olive Kitteridge, and while the stories themselves could take place perhaps during any decade of the twentieth century, they could only take place in Maine.
Six of the thirteen stories in Stout's book are told from Olive Kitteridge's point of view. She appears briefly in four other stories and is mentioned as the former teacher or possible future teacher in three others. All of the stories are in third-person narration: the first story is told from the point of view of Olive's husband, Henry, and the remaining stories are told from the point of view of a young man contemplating suicide, a piano player, the owner of the local hardware store, an eleven-year-old girl, and a young woman who considers criminal activity her only viable path through life—all of whom have fleeting encounters with Olive either during the story itself or outside the scene, mentioned off-handedly. Over the course of the book, the many facets of Olive's character come to light, some contradicting each other but nevertheless providing a portrait of a woman who has affected the lives of many people in Crosby, often in ways she does not realize, acknowledge, or understand. This book could have been written as a straightforward novel, entirely from Olive's perspective, but what readers gain from multiple standpoints is the sense of mystery, inconsistencies, and regret embedded in the lives of people so close and yet just out of reach of one another. This approach illuminates the effects of interactions and the holes in those interactions. Even so, at the end of the book, readers have encountered Olive Kitteridge from nearly all sides, been privy to her thoughts and fears, and witnessed her impact on other people, her change over time, from inside their heads, but she remains, in some ways, elusive and unlikeable, a grumpy old lady who elicits curiosity but only so much sympathy. She is, in other words, a human being, a long-time neighbor—known and yet still unknown.
There is no superficial closure at the end of Olive Kitteridge, and there is no sense of peace. The characters in each story do not bow out with any kind of perfect arc of conflict resolution; rather, each story acts represents an episode in the lives of the characters involved, an episode that is tied to moments in the past and that will be tied to moments in the future. Olive, of course, considers this:
Most people did not know enough when they were living life that they were living it. But she had that memory now, of something healthy and pure. Maybe it was the purest she had… because she had other memories that were not pure… Who in this world, this strange and incomprehensible world, did she think she was? (162)
Readers come away from Olive Kitteridge and Olive herself with no sense of resolution, but instead, perhaps, with a sense of confirmation—that confusion, struggle, and self-interrogation are parts of what makes life difficult and the story of our lives worth telling.

Q: How to read "lunar orb" in the following sentence? The following sentence is from the English translation of a 5th century Latin book, at point 863 it says:

The brightness of the sun encircles the lunar orb and bathes with light the entire part which faces it. These brilliant rays also reach the earth, like an image of light reflected in a mirror. When the moon receives the light in the phase of its first rising, it is obscured from us; and as it draws away from the sun in the west, it begins to grow light.

Now orb has both meanings of sphere and orbit, How should it be read?

A: The translator, William Harris Stahl, is translating De nuptiis philologiae, et Mercurii ([The Marriage of Philology and Mercury]) by Martianus Capella. I'll approach this first as a reader of English and then as someone who knows the Latin text.
The English
An English speaker will tend to hear orb as sphere before thinking of orb as orbit. (Note the "archaic" mark on the definition pertaining to orbit; a 20th century author would usually be careful to distinguish orb and orbit. As a soft form of evidence, do an image search for orb and see what you get.) Also, try to imagine light encircling something; that only makes sense if orb is an object that can be encircled by light. Definition 3 ("a spherical body") would be the usage here.
In other words, "lunar orb" describes the moon as a sphere. In the first sentence, the brightness of the sun encircles the moon and lights its face. In the second sentence, the moon is like a mirror reflecting the light back to the Earth. The third sentence describes the start of a moon phase, receiving sunlight obscured from us at first but growing more light as the moon rises further and further apart from the sun.
The Latin
Here is the Latin (VIII.863, p. 673, transcribed from a PDF of the 1836 edition):

Circuit enim eius globum undiquesecus Solis nitor, et ei parti, quam totam tunc adspicit, lumen indulget, cuius luminis radii in terras quoque luculentiores perveniunt, ut si quis ex speculo lumine repercusso effigem lucis excipiat.

As a matter of translation, William Harris Stahl closely followed the Latin in the first sentence:

The brightness of the sun [Solis nitor] encircles [circuit] the lunar orb [globum eius (eius is a pronoun referring to the Moon within the passage)].

So this isn't even Latin orbis, which could theoretically refer to either a ring or a sphere (Wiktionary). Globum would be a sphere or, literally, a globe (Wiktionary). Correspondingly, orb refers to the round object itself (the moon), not anything elaborate like an orbit.

Q: Can anyone explain what's happening in below for loop? My expected output is
4 vertices, 4 edges

0: 0 1 0 1
1: 1 0 1 0
2: 0 1 0 1
3: 1 0 1 0

And it works fine without any problem but I don't know what's happening inside the second for loop in the following toString() method statement.
can anyone say what is going on inside this method especially in for loop??
And also why this program uses StringBuilder instead of String data type.

 public String toString() {
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            sb.append(V + " vertices, " + E + " edges " + "\n");
            for(int v = 0; v < V; v++) {
                sb.append(v + ": ");
                for(int w : adjMatrix[v]) {
                    sb.append(w + " ");
                }
                sb.append("\n");
            }
            return sb.toString();
        }

Here is my full graph program.
    public class Graph {

    private int V; // number of vertices in Graph
    private int E; // number of edges in Graph
    private int[][] adjMatrix;

    public Graph(int nodes) {
        this.V = nodes;
        this.E = 0;
        this.adjMatrix = new int[nodes][nodes];
    }

    public void addEdge(int u, int v) {
        adjMatrix[u][v] = 1;
        adjMatrix[v][u] = 1;  // because it is an undirected graph
        E++;
    }

    public String toString() {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        sb.append(V + " vertices, " + E + " edges " + "\n");
        for(int v = 0; v < V; v++) {
            sb.append(v + ": ");
            for(int w : adjMatrix[v]) {
                sb.append(w + " ");
            }
            sb.append("\n");
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Graph g = new Graph(4);
        g.addEdge(0, 1);
        g.addEdge(1, 2);
        g.addEdge(2, 3);
        g.addEdge(3, 0);
        System.out.println(g.toString());
    }
}

A: For every Integer in two-dimensional array adjMatrix, you are appending it's value in StringBuilder (actually just connecting strings).


Some thoughts get etched in our consciousness like this one: 'Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you; you must acquire it.' Curiosity may kill a cat, but it (often) enlightens a human being.
The Hindi or Sanskrit equivalent of 'curiosity' is jijnasa. The root word jijnas means 'wonder' and wonder leads to knowledge. When Imam Ghazali, a great authority on Quran, undertook the analysis of the holy book, someone asked him, "What made you analyse 6,236 verses of Quran at such a ripe age?" 'My curiosity,' replied Ghazali. There's so much to know in the whole universe that not one but several lives are inadequate.
It's the nature of being curious that enables a person to open up new roads, vistas and avenues all the time. Curiosity lies at the root of all great discoveries and inventions. It was Columbus' curiosity to go and see beyond what he was accustomed to seeing. Had he not been curious, he would never have sailed out in search of a new world and a new sea route.
A great deal of talent is lost in the world for want of a little courage and curiosity.
Though apocryphal, Isaac Newton's curiosity — why apples always fell downward — paved the way for laws of gravitation. Scottish doctor Alexander Fleming's curiosity led him to the invention of penicillin. Aryabhatt's curiosity about the stars, constellations and numbers gave birth to khagol shastra, modern astronomy and differential calculus in advanced mathematics.
When there's no curiosity, there's complacency: the biggest foe to creativity. There is banality sans curiosity.
The students of epistemology know that wisdom always begins with a curious bent of mind and it's the first and foremost tenet of epistemology. Vachaspati Mishra's commentary on the Brahma Sutra begins with a hymn to man's intrinsic curiosity, called ucchasth kautoohal, higher or sublime curiosity, because curiosity could also be of low type. Curiosity of this type is often seen among most people.
" Writer A J Cronin classified such people as: curious but spurious. When Bakhtiyar Khilji's marauding Turkish army reached the gate of Nalanda in 1193 CE, the ruthless General Islauddin Arghaab asked a monk, "What's written on the entrance to the famed university." The monk calmly told him that it was written in Pali: "All curious souls come here." "But I'm not curious," the haughty General said. "Aren't you curious to know what's inside this great university?" the monk asked him. It's said that the supercilious General alighted from the horseback and said, "Yes, I'm curious. But I've the order to reduce the university to ashes. Wish I weren't leading the army." He gutted the university down, much to his reluctance. "
Mind you, curiosity cuts both ways.


The Walking Dead Season 2 video game is an episodic point-and-click adventure graphic novel style game. The content uses many quick time events and lets you make lots of choices and the deep and intelligent story develops and changes depending on what decisions you make. The game starts off just a couple of months where the first season ends. Clementine returns from the first game and she is who you play as throughout the adventure. Now that many members of the group that she was with are missing, dead or are lost in the world that is overrun by the zombie infection.
The world of The Walking Dead has such a great backdrop for video games. The first game in the series made such a powerful impact on gamers we were happy to see that the drama and storytelling are just as memorable here and the emotional influence still takes over your thought game. There are times that you forget you are playing a game and you want to sit back and watch what is going on. Then, all of a sudden you need to pick up the controller and keep up with the intense quick time actions sequences. The quick time moments in the game have gotten a huge upgrade. Instead of just a few at a movements like in the first game, in the second season you have several moves stacked on top of each other. For example if Clementine has a zombie in front of her she could pick up a hammer or she could take out the zombies leg and then tip over a fridge on it. Combat and controls are fast and spot on every time.
Of course the strength of the game is the storytelling choices. The brutality and honesty of some of the decisions that you make are intense and you will want to replay over and over to find out what would happen if you took Clementine loyalties and actions in a different direction. You will also have the influence of the DLC 400 days if you purchased it. Having the members of that DLC does add some different characters to the story but you will want to try it without it or even without the carryover from the first season. As you can see, the replay value is very high for this game in many different ways.
The Walking Dead Season 2 took us 10 to 12 hours to complete. This time mark is going to be constant for every time you play through the game. We are still replaying the game and we like how the story has highs and lows. We had zero problems with the controls, camera and aiming but we did wish you story choices would give us more time to read the decisions. We did run out of time before we could read all of the choices a few times. Easily worth every penny, it is a must buy for any gamer. And, having the game already be under $30 at a new game price makes buying even easier right now, you will love it, it is flawless on every level in every way and sales happen all the time.


Clearly if the demand for apartments was approximately 12000 in 2007, and with the average apartment going for at least one and half million in 2007, then there was at least 18 billion dollars in mortgages for 2007 minus the down payments. If the average investor put 20% down, and with a current decline in prices of 20% since 2007, banks are about to face an additional 13 to 14 billion dollar supply of mortgage delinquencies if the real estate market continues to decline. Very few purchasers of real estate in 2006 and 2007 have any profit in 2009. IF both 2006 and 2007 are added together, then the banks probably have close to $40 billion in mortgages that are about to go bad just in the New York City market. The surrounding suburban markets are getting clobbered. By the way with only Chase Manhattan and drug stores opening up, don"t the suburbs look just like New York City. With an equilibrium of neighborhood retail shops demand for city property will decline further. Prices declining, no uniqueness to reatilers.. so why pay one million for a studio.

And it's on orange vinyl!
The concept is exactly my kind of thing. All the melodies are played on electric guitar, sounds like a hollow-body guitar, great tone, some kind of reverb—I bet it's a fantastic amp— and mostly just sticking to the tune but with occasional jazzy embellishments.
The orchestral arrangements are good, heavy on the horns and designed to give the guitar the spotlight.
And the guitar sounds so good I could listen to this all day!
But what the hell is this? At first I thought "Elmer Duke" was a made up name, a combination of John Wayne's nickname and Elmer Bernstein's nickname, as both are famous for Westerns.
And who knows, maybe that's the case. But there is at least one other Elmer Duke record out there, Memories of You, which appears to be more of a romantic music record.
But I haven't been able to find out anything about "Elmer Duke" in general or this record in particular, except that it's apparently from Taiwan.
Let's look at the track listing. You have to look on the record itself as the back cover just has movie stills.
Side A has "The Stagecoach", "For a Few Dollars More", "The Proud One", "A Fistful of Dollars" (just called "Titoli" here), "High Noon" and "El Dorado".
Side B offers "One Silver Dollar", "Johnny Guitar", "The Call of the Par-Awar Hills" (by which they mean "The Call of the Faraway Hills", which is the theme from Shane), "The Appaloosa", "Aluarez Kelly" and "The Legend of Shenandoah".
It's a great selection of tunes beautifully played on guitar with perfectly supportive orchestral arrangements and some occasional keyboard solos as well.
