`Thirteen-year-old twins Lamb and Lynx Gaede have one album out, another on the way, a music video, and lots of fans.
They may remind you another famous pair of singers, the Olsen Twins, and the girls say they like that. But unlike the Olsens, who built a media empire on their fun-loving, squeaky-clean image, Lamb and Lynx are cultivating a much darker personna. They are white nationalists and use their talents to preach a message of hate.
Known as “Prussian Blue” — a nod to their German heritage and bright blue eyes — the girls from Bakersfield, Calif., have been performing songs about white nationalism before all-white crowds since they were nine.
“We’re proud of being white, we want to keep being white,” said Lynx. “We want our people to stay white … we don’t want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race.”‘
`High-tech computers, such as those used by NASA, the CIA, or some such governmental institution, will have easy to understand graphical interfaces. Those that don’t, have incredibly powerful text-based command shells that can correctly understand and execute commands typed in plain English.

`State Supreme Court justices questioned Wednesday whether high school cheerleaders trying to flag down motorists for a car wash might run afoul of a broadly written ordinance targeting pushy Las Vegas-area prostitutes. [..]
Under the ordinance, police can arrest someone who “repeatedly beckons to, stops, attempts to stop or engage persons passing by in conversation, or repeatedly stops or attempts to stop motor vehicle operators by hailing, waiving of arms or other bodily gestures.’
`Cumberland County deputies said a man wanted on kidnapping and robbery charges burst into flames Wednesday after gasoline splattered on him and a deputy used a Taser to try to apprehend him.
Deputies said Corporal Bradley Dean pulled over Richard McKinnon for a broken taillight in the Lake Upchurch area of Cumberland County.
McKinnon sped off, drove over a mailbox and hit a tree, deputies said.
He had gasoline in the front seat of his vehicle, and the gasoline splattered on him, they said.’
`Greenland’s ice cap has thickened slightly in recent years despite wide predictions of a thaw triggered by global warming, a team of scientists said on Thursday.
The 9,842-feet thick ice cap is a key concern in debates about climate change because a total melt would raise world sea levels by about 7 meters. And a runaway thaw might slow the Gulf Stream that keeps the North Atlantic region warm.’

`As patient as fishermen, the young men toil day and night, trawling for replies to the e-mails they shoot to strangers half a world away.
Most recipients hit delete, delete, delete, delete without ever opening the messages that urge them to claim the untold riches of a long-lost deceased second cousin, and the messages that offer millions of dollars to help smuggle loot stolen by a corrupt Nigerian official into a U.S. account.
But the few who actually reply make this a tempting and lucrative business for the boys of Festac, a neighborhood of Lagos at the center of the cyber-scam universe. The targets are called maghas — scammer slang from a Yoruba word meaning fool, and refers to gullible white people.’

`According to the affidavit of probable cause filed in the case, police were notified about 12:45 a.m., when a Snappy’s employee called to report a partially clothed man — later identified as Schreck — inside the store. Employees said he was only wearing a pair of red-and-yellow boxer shorts and a black T-shirt. They asked him to leave because he was not wearing socks or shoes.
According to court documents, a witness said Schreck was then observed walking across the street to Frosty Stop, where he tried to break into a van parked there. He removed his shirt and underwear and then pulled down some aluminum spouting, the witness told police. He then tried to break into a nearby home before walking back over to Snappy’s, the witness said.
State police said Schreck was found with the kerosene nozzle into his mouth, and officers asked him to remove it. [..]’
`These pages demonstrate visual phenomena, called »optical illusions« or »visual illusions«.

I selected these based on relative novelty and interactivity, and will expand the explanations when I find the time, to the degree that these phenomena are really understood.’
`I just want to say that I’m slightly turned on by Halle’s foot. I want to dig my tongue in between those toes, all six of them. Yuck! Just typing that made me sick. I’m pretty sure its a growth of some sort yet it still pretty nasty. My dog used to have something very similar. All you got to do is tie a string around it tightly and eventually it will fall off. I’d think Halle Berry could afford a good podiatrist but I guess she’s too busy showing us her nipples.’
`Michael Bowers, a graduate student at Vanderbilt University, was just trying to make really small quantum dots, which are crystals generally only a few nanometers big. That’s less than 1/1000th the width of a human hair.
Quantum dots contain anywhere from 100 to 1,000 electrons. They’re easily excited bundles of energy, and the smaller they are, the more excited they get. Each dot in Bower’s particular batch was exceptionally small, containing only 33 or 34 pairs of atoms.
When you shine a light on quantum dots or apply electricity to them, they react by producing their own light, normally a bright, vibrant color. But when Bowers shined a laser on his batch of dots, something unexpected happened.’
`Sex and romantic entanglements among astronauts could derail missions to Mars and should therefore be studied by NASA, warns a top-level panel of US researchers.
NASA plans to return astronauts to the Moon by 2018 and later on to Mars. But a round-trip mission to the Red Planet would probably last at least 30 months and carry six to eight people. That would be a hotbed for intense crew relationships, says a report by the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS).
“With the prospect of a very long-term mission, it’s hard to ignore the question of sexuality,” says Lawrence Palinkas, a medical anthropologist at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, an author of the report.’

`U.S. oil and gas projects are being delayed because workers abusing and producing methamphetamines have made it difficult for companies to fill jobs, the Financial Times said, citing people including Ron Walsmith, direct of oil and gas training at the Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Training Center. [..]
Laboratories to make methamphetamines have been found on rigs, where workers have easy access to sodium hydroxide, used to reduce the acidity of drilling mud and to make the drug, the Financial Times said.

`A home in eastern Iowa no longer has the power to scare off underground aliens.
Police have taken away a device from a home in Davenport after its new tenants discovered a box containing what they thought was a bomb.
But the house’s former owner said it was designed to scare off aliens living underground.
Jessica Harper moved out of the house last month and left behind the box. She said she got it from her mother’s friend, an astrologer who Harper describes as “off his rocker.”‘
`A second-grader brought more than a dozen bags of marijuana on a school field trip to a local museum for a little show-and-tell of his own, police said.
The 8-year-old boy, a pupil at Dunbar School, was seen stuffing the small bags into his pockets while on the bus ride Friday to the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University in New Haven, police said.
The bus returned to school where the boy’s parents were called. Police said the boy was off the hook after his teen-age uncle admitted the drugs were his.’
`This is but one horrific example of the tactics used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to stifle legitimate dissent and violate the civil rights of political groups that the administration dislikes. Along with the anti-war movement, the Nixon White House targeted the civil rights movement for disruption, using on-campus informants to infiltrate and in many cases to disrupt legal protests and activism.
This coloring book, which was purported to be from the Black Panthers, had actually been rejected by them when it was brought to them by a man later revealed to have intelligence connections. Not to be troubled by the fact that the Panthers found the coloring book revolting, the FBI added even more offensive illustrations, and mass mailed it across America. It so infuriated the white population that they stopped listening to the legitimate grievances of the black people.’
`A Brooklyn father getting a tattoo called “Last Rites” inked into his flesh passed out and crashed headfirst into a glass counter yesterday, killing himself, police and witnesses said.
