Vienna buries victims of Nazi medical experiments
6:04PM BST 09 May 2012
President Heinz Fischer, Vienna Mayor Michael Haeupl, the president of the Jewish community Oskar Deutsch and Dorothee Stapelfeldt, deputy mayor of Hamburg, Germany – where several victims came from – attended the ceremony, alongside survivors and relatives of the victims.
The remains, belonging mostly to children and adults who were patients at the mental hospital Am Steinhof, were uncovered during recent research into Nazi-era activities.
During the Second World War, some 3,500 patients at the facility overlooking Vienna were killed, most often by systematic negligence, exposure to cold and undernourishment, as well as deliberate contagion with infectious diseases, according to official sources.
Among the victims were some 780 children and teenagers, whose remains were still used for years after the war for medical and scientific purposes.
In 2002, the first remains from over 600 children were buried at the Zentralfriedhof in a section dedicated to Nazi victims.
Record an MP3 from a cassette tape
As far as I'm concerned, we have a global musical crisis on our hands.
The cassette tape was the dominant music format though most of my childhood. The first read-along books I had as a kid were on cassette tape. The first time I ever bought music with my own money, was a cassette tape (which I'm proud to say was Run DMC's "Raising Hell"). The first time my band ever released a demo, it was a demo tape.
For independent musicians of the '80s and '90s, cassette tapes offered the first affordable medium for both recording and distributing music. I still have a case full of tapes made by the garage bands I loved as a teenager. I'm afraid to throw them away because I'm certain there's no way I can find them again.
Because some of these tapes are from bands I actually played in, a combination of ego and sentimentality compels me to rescue them from analog obscurity.
Unfortunately, the process for converting a cassette tape to MP3 is painful enough to have kept this project at bay for years. Much like digitizing LPs, doing the process right involves several careful steps and a surplus of time.
Now, we had an old tutorial on this floating around CNET for years that involved some discontinued, PC-only software and a tedious method of stopping and encoding between each song. It's was a process that could break your spirit and eat up your weekend.
My version goes a different route. We'll record an entire side in one pass using Audacity, a free, open-source application available on Mac, PC, and even Linux. From there, we'll divide and batch export tracks with just one command. Then, we'll whip out iTunes (or your preferred librarian/encoder) to back up files to CDR, convert to MP3, and bulk edit ID3 file info.
Sound like fun? It's not. But it's thorough, it's free, and it's faster than most methods I've seen.
It's also not dependent on anyone's for-profit software solution. I'm not against paying for useful software, but this niche market is littered with so many dead-end, unsupported solutions that I just have to steer clear of them for the sake of keeping this tutorial relevant in the long-term.
So, if you're ready to tackle this project, brush up on my overview video and then dive into the nitty-gritty with my step-by-step gallery.

Born This Way, baby. Yeah? Was on the radio. You heard it? I put a vid up for you, I said.
Edge of Glory babe he said. Yes. It was on the radio this afternoon. What day is is? Thursday. You been asleep. Yes, you? Yes, woke up at 12. he said. Missed my art class, have to finish this thing at home. Which one?
This one, he say, Wealth. How long it take you? Oh, about three or four more hours he say. Should be fun, but I need to make a time.
How did it sound? Edge of Glory? It sound like you and Justin just had your first baby, you going to eat him? Justin, he's lovely, I could. No his baby, you know like the Nazis did, roasted in the oven with some lovely roasted onions, potatos and pumpkin with gravy. Gross, I said. How could you think of it? There's an article in the news today about how Vienna just buried the victims of some Nazi medical experiments.
Jet Li was caught in the Boxing day Tsunami in Indonesia, did you hear? In 2004. You're serious? Yes, he said he was in the water and one of his children was pulled out of his arms.
His bodyguard were there and helped rescue them. I can't imagine he could have survived the wave.
The Tsunami series has more in it, he said. Those co-ordinate the colour combinations; red/green, yellow/blue, purple/orange, blue/orange, yellow/purple.
It received the name Cornwall Park because of the Royal visit to Australia and New Zealand in 1901 by the Duke & Duchess of Cornwall (later King George V & Queen Mary). John Logan Campbell was asked to be honorary Mayor of Auckland during the visits, and he took the opportunity to gift the park to the people of New Zealand and asked that it be called Cornwall Park. In return he was knighted.
I saw this on the web, he said. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRDpTEjumdo What's going on I asked him. I thought it was you who proposed to me because you love me, he said. I promised you I would give you until my birthday on 28th July to get married, but first we have to meet. I've put all my other plans on hold until then, but, if you plan to marry, it is because of love, no other reason. Not because yo want children or any other reason. The other thing I think I made clear, is that if you plan to give me all your money, you cna give it to me now, and then I will be free, and not the slave of Craig Roebuck at Guardian Trust. You have that power, nobody else, and I don't need your conditions, just your wishes. You have to understand who I am and respect what I want, and in return I will love you above all others, it is that simple. Your past means nothing to me. I'm going to protect you anyway, but that ceases if you start an affair with any other person in the mean time, is that clear. You will become their victim, and I shall lose face. That is not going to happen, one way or the other I shall find out. This includes provocative teasing, because just because you are unavailable, is no reason to flaunt yourself wantonly.
Yes Tokyo! Tonight was the first BTWBall that I didn't puke during show. (yes its that hard) xoxoxxxo Love, gaga+terry. Maybe it's morning sickness he said. Perhaps. And I know you will have trouble relaxing, you should stay off the booze. Are you really planning on staying up all night with me, he said, because I'm planning on hitting the road from One Tree Hill at about 1.15, shedding a few tears and knowing that yes, I did imagine all this and it has been a cruel trick. I told you I wrote that song One Tree Hill for U2 didn't I, he said, and put it on their CD, but since they decided not to pay me I'm going to remove it again? No you didn't mention it I said. The Monterey Pine that used to be there was cut down by Mike Smith, he said, but that tree was one I grew especially for that site. It used a bridging graft to graft the Monterey onto a drought resistant pine root stock, and it was supposed to be there for 700 years. Now they will have to graft another one and start again. Originally the hill was covered with Totara trees which were cleared to make a fortified hill pa for 5,000. Maori want a native tree, and five have been planted. At night there is only access by foot.
Tonight was happiness, joy, gratitude. I'm the lucky one Japan. You are so special www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=rZctDLnJTek I found this, he said, along with nude pictures that Tony Bennett has been sketching of you. I must say I don't believe after seeing his work that he has a Mona Lisa in him the way I do. He may be a damned fine lover, and able to give you an orgasm, but that's the end of his talent. I'll bet he would have screwed Marilyn Monroe if he had had half a chance. I don't see him as a moral man. He's part of the Rat Pack.

Civil union is a legal right in nz and confurs full legal rights. Some
say if you have two bodies, you may marry two husband/wives
Two bodies, contraversial, impossible? No a fact for many who still deny
the existance of God, and Christ. Madness? Indefensible. What do you think, he asked? Bad spelling babe, I told him. How many times has that started an argument, he asked? What do you mean, I said. When I was 12 Averlie Bruce wrote comments in "My Life Story" saying, "spoiled by some bad spelling mistakes" That is grounds for divorce in my book, not that I mind criticism, but it should be constructive, as in this is the correct way to spell this word, and so on. I get it, Averlie Bruce read your story. Exactly, and she was cute too. Pity I was only 12 at the time. I think by the time I was old enough to marry she had already married somebody else, and her older sister Julie was nice too, nicer even maybe. How old was she? A whole year, much too old for me, he said. The funny thing is, he said, their father Ron was Adolph Hitler. The guy who shot himself at the end of the war? Yes, he said, but they lived in Fiji before they came to New Zealand. He was the Headmaster of Pongakawa. Now he is John Key the Prime Minister. One daughter is Queen Elizabeth, and the other is Michelle Obama. Which ones? Julie is Michelle. You following all this? It sounds a bit far fetched, quite frankly, I told him. But possible if you believe that I lived before, he said, and that is perfectley reasonable. Buddhists all believe in reincarnation, as they call it. We are the ones who don't talk about it.
How is this for uncontraversial? "two bodies, controversial, impossible? No a fact for many who still deny the existence of God, and Christ. Madness? Indefensible.
Wow you've gone triple Platinum, he said. You going to stay with Universal. I own it you know. In China, I asked. Yes, or you could switch to EMI. Sony have just bought EMI. EMI is mine, so is Sony, but Sony is harder to prove. Txt me something. What do you see, how do you feel?
All I see is hair bows, wigs, glitter, + discosticks flying across the screen. Haus + I are making sound effects..*wait for me guyzzzz* !!!

I think also just witnessed a small meltdown at one of the merch stands. Yes. #monsterproblems
That first Kobe earthquake took out crime central in Japan, he said. Do they have organised crime in Japan, I asked? Yes, it knocked them down, but not for long. It is business as usual. I'm just going to keep knocking on the door. What do you mean? Justice, harmony and tranquility, he said. No crime at all. God asked me how big that Boxing day earthquake should be, and I said 8.9 from memory, but God made it 9.3 or 9.6. Then I had a shot for real with Haiti, and I said 8.6 cause I knew exactly how many buildings would be knocked down. And how many people killed? You never know how many will die, he said. Some fight hard for life, some just give up. God knows who will fight. Sometimed it is better for death to be quick. I never give up. Then christchurch. That was all God's. You believe God has teh power to stop earthquakes, I asked? Certainly, and move galaxies.
