"Blood and Honour" - White supremacist hate music is no new thing, but after a man involved in one of these hate music bands killed six people in a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin the genre has flowed into mainstream of America's consciousness. In fact, these white power bands are in almost every city in America and right now many of them are secretly planning for an annual concert that takes place on or around August 11 each year. That's Saturday, and the nearest concert of this type is outside Modesto. "Blood & Honour" is a neo-Nazi music promotion network and political group founded in 1987 that organizes this concert to celebrate the birthday of founder Ian Stuart Donaldson.

Investigating Mars - UC Davis geology professor Dawn Sumner has plenty of scientific work to do now that the Mars rover Curiosity has succesfully touched down on the Red Planet on Sunday (Aug. 5), after a nine-month, 352 million-mile journey through space. Sumner, a co-investigator for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory team, will serve as a long-term planner from the mission's base at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. One of her first tasks will likely be to direct Curiosity, via computer, to shoot some of the first true color photographs ever taken of Mars. She will also coordinate the first scientific interpretations and help to make daily decisions about the research vehicle's activities. Sumner will share this role with an international team of scientists during the first three months of Curiosity's two-year mission. After this, she will assist the mission from UC Davis. Here is the link to an animation video of Curiosity Rover's landing on Mars.
