French Courts Tackle Nazism On The Net

In Paris, Judge Jean-Jacques Gomez sided with the League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism, which filed a complaint against Yahoo for posting Nazi memorabilia on its auction site.

Citing a French law banning anything that “incites racial hatred,” Gomez fined Yahoo $3,000 for “offend[ing] the collective memory of [France]....

From Cup Girl To Pop Star Getting To Know Lennon Stella

It would be simple to define Stella as the “cup girl” for the rest of her career. Though she wasn’t linked to a giant cultural moment like Miley Cyrus, for example, who went through a long and complicated evolution to shake her Hannah Montana image, Stella’s first impression as an online celebrity could have stuck....

From A Star To A Shadow What S Wrong With Real Madrid S Isco

While the Spain star took his chance in the extended absence of Gareth Bale last season and stayed in the side all the way to the Champions League final in Cardiff, he is now not even a guaranteed starter when Los Blancos are missing several key players. An unused substitute in the Clasico clash against Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu before Christmas, Isco has started only six of Madrid’s 14 games so far in 2018 and when he has featured, he has looked a shadow of his former self, slowing the team down in what is now a predictable 4-3-1-2 system....

From A To Zeke Ohio State Runs Show In Playoff Championship Win Over Oregon

Takeaway: Usually when a team is minus-3 in the turnover battle, they are way behind. But the Ohio State Buckeyes dominated the Ducks in the trenches and on third down en route to an eighth national title. It is hard to imagine that Ohio State sophomore Cardale Jones is playing just his third game under center. Just when you think the 6-5, 250 pound quarterback was coming apart at the seams in the third quarter, Jones kept his composure giving up his body to convert on key third downs in the second half....

From Prophets To Losses

For Corey Slavin, it came from a co-worker. At 25, she was living away from her parents for the first time and feeling shaky, she confided. The other woman was reassuring. Corey’s parents obviously didn’t understand her, but never mind, she did-and so did God. From that comforting beginning, Slavin, who is Jewish, fell ultimately into the embrace of the Church Universal and Triumphant, a Montana-based Christian-cum-New Age group. The church leader had her followers build underground shelters against the coming nuclear holocaust while transmitting to them the amalgamated wisdom of “ascended masters,” such as Christ, Buddha and Hercules....

But as Jörn P. W. Scharlemann and William F....
