    Neo-Nazi music files spark German raids





    Thursday, March 25, 2004 Posted: 1:30 PM EST (1830 GMT)


    BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- German police raided the homes of more than 300 people Wednesday whom they suspect of posting neo-Nazi music files on the Internet for others to download.

    Police said the nationwide raids followed investigations into 342 people who had posted songs by skinhead bands on the Internet. The songs contained lyrics inciting racial hatred, the crime agency said.


    "Inciting racial hatred is more than just a petty crime," said Federal Crime Office President Joerg Ziercke. "Skinhead music groups create an enemy image and help propagate extreme right ideas."


    Inciting racial hatred, displaying Nazi emblems like the swastika and performing the stiff-armed Hitler salute used under Adolf Hitler are crimes punishable by imprisonment in Germany.

                                          Legion of St. George Lyrics


    LEGION OF ST. GEORGE "In the Footsteps of Heroes"


    Broken Gate 


    You're just a token in our world
    How does it feel to be so outta place
    ?
    Brought here from a foreign land
    How could they ever think you'd understand 


    (chorus)
    Immigration, reached saturation
    A knife to our heart
    'cause of a broken gate
    Like a rose strangled by the weeds
    We gotta fight for sunshine or our Europe will be dead!


    Harmony pushed by the media control
    But the differences are there for all to see
    Pushed upon us against our will
    How could they ever think we'd understand


    (chorus)


    Years of retreat, now the lines are drawn
    Out of the chaos
    Fortress Europe is born!


    Now their breeding and taking over
    We're second class citizens in our own land
    Swamped by mass immigration and refugees
    Do they think we wouldn
    't fight to be free!


    (chorus)


    Years of retreat, now the lines are drawn
    Out of the chaos
    Fortress Europe is born!


    (chorus)

    "From a public-health standpoint, you want the employees to be clean."


    A CVS pharmacy employee in Advance who was developing the photographs reported them to the Davie County Sheriff's office.

    Stations of the Boss




    Consider yourself on probation. The following is a listing of our non-negotiable terms for allowing you to continue in your position at Waldron.



    • Both you and Vickie go to a Christian counselor. These sessions will probably need to be weekly or at least semimonthly. Yes, it costs money. Spend it. Make the commitment. Regardless, be sure you are seeing a Christian counselor. There are all kinds of wacko "counselors" out there.
    • Attend church weekly. Without fail. No excuses.
    • Have dinner as a family at least five times a week. At the very least, you and Vickie should eat dinner together at the table every night. Start each meal with a prayer. Clean up together.
    • You and Vickie must go to bed with each other every night without fail. If she likes to go to sleep early and you like to stay up late, compromise where she stays up a little later with you and you go to bed a little earlier. But go to bed together. Besides saying good night to each other, the last thing you should do each night is say a prayer out loud together. And start each morning the same, with a prayer out loud together.
    • This goes for you and your sons: Turn the TV off and leave it off. Allow yourself limited TV of some sports and some news, but that's it. No prime time. No soaps. No talk shows. No Letterman. And certainly no videos that depict violence or sex. Focus on the family.
    • Read Scripture daily. Proverbs is good. Read a chapter of Proverbs a day to correspond with the day of the month. Romans is good, too. One favorite passage, which we suggest you carry with you at all times, is James 1:12: "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." Also see Romans 8:28.
    • You must trust each other. You are a team. Vickie has much to do with your success or failure in your personal life together, in the business, and in this effort to resurrect your marriage. But while that is true, you must take charge of this situation. You must lead by example. Be Christlike in all you do.

    We want a short written report from you faxed to us every Monday morning and on our desk here by 8 a.m. In this report should be your triumphs and tragedies of the past week, the high points and the low points you hit. Business and personal. Tell us about a successful promo you all did. Tell us how the press broke down in Mena. Tell us about a good Scripture passage you found. Tell us about the time you got so mad you had to go for a walk. Tell us about Adam's curveball. Tell us about Adam's curveball breaking the window on the house.


    We want you and Vickie to succeed in all personal and business areas of your lives — in that order. You are accountable to us; do not forget this. You must comply completely.

    LONDON (Reuters) - Chocoholics will appreciate a British hotel chain's diet-busting chocolate sandwich, which boasts the added attraction of being dipped in batter and deep-fried.






     

    The sandwich is particularly popular in Scotland, traditional birthplace of the mother of all deep-fried desserts, the battered Mars bar.

    Punch halts murder trial


    The Associated Press
    3/22/2004, 6:00 p.m. ET


    PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A man accused of raping and murdering a young girl punched his defense attorney, Fred Goodman, in the face Monday, bringing his jury trial to a halt.


    Both teams of lawyers were returning to their seats after a brief, private conference with the judge when El-Shabazz swung at Goodman, authorities said.


    El-Shabazz began yelling when Goodman told jurors that his client had, in fact, committed the assault.


    "There is no question who did this," Goodman said. "The only thing that is at issue is the difference between first-degree murder and second-degree murder."


    "And my innocence! I'm innocent!" El-Shabazz said. "That's what the D.A. and my lawyers won't tell you."

    Caribbean Won't Accept Haiti's New Gov't



    Saturday March 27, 2004 5:01 AM


    By BERT WILKINSON

    Associated Press Writer

    BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (AP) -The 15-nation Caribbean Community refused recognition Friday for Haiti's new U.S.-backed government amid continuing concerns over the departure of ousted leader Jean-Bertrand Aristide.


    Officials said for the time being the Caribbean Community plans to work through the United Nations and other agencies in dealing with Haiti. They said leaders had been under enormous pressure from the United States to recognize the new government...


    The officials say Aristide has told Caribbean leaders that he was abducted at gunpoint by U.S. agents and put on a U.S.-chartered aircraft that carried him to the Central African Republic.


     


  • By better understanding the zombie within, neurobiologists hope to explain consciousness


    UNION-TRIBUNE UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

    March 24, 2004


    Consciousness is one of the great and lingering mysteries of science. Francis Crick, the Nobel laureate who co-discovered the structure of DNA, calls it "the major unsolved problem in biology."


    Crick believes that all of the brain's behaviors, including consciousness, result from the brain's physical processes. For more than a decade, he and colleagues like Christof Koch, a neurobiologist, have argued that human self-awareness is essentially the consequence of countless neurons, sensory cells and other physiological systems interacting with the environment to create the intangible entity we know as our minds.

    Everything we think, say and do, contend Crick and Koch, can be explained biologically ...


    http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/features/20040324-9999-news_lz1c24zombie.html


    Awareness occurs, Koch said, at the interface between sensory processing and mental planning.
