That was the same message of the final exercise paper in the journal, by researchers at University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany. In this trial, a group of 246 elderly women were randomly assigned to an 18-month exercise regimen or wellness program. The women participating in the four-times-weekly exercise sessions, which involved aerobics and balance and muscle training, improved their bone mineral density by nearly 2%. The women in the wellness group, which focused on walking, muscle relaxation and breathing skills, had a 0.33% increase in bone density over the same time period. Perhaps more important, participants...
After studying private family archives and public documents, Gregor Schöllgen, professor of contemporary history at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, concluded that Wilhelm Schaeffler, Maria-Elisabeth's brother-in-law, cooperated with the Nazis as necessary for personal gain, but that in this way he was not unlike many small entrepreneurs during the Nazi period. He says there is no evidence that Schaeffler was an enthusiastic Nazi or a supporter of Hitler's plans to annihilate Europe's Jews.

"It's aberrant, showing a lack of a sense of reality and respect for people." In Germany, Professor Hans-Bernhard Wuermeling, a medical ethicist at the University of Erlangen, was equally repelled by the notion of producing clones for spare parts, calling it "a modern form of slavery...
Schulz holds a doctor of theology degree from Erlangen University, and for years was a Lutheran pastor at St. Jacobi Church in Hamburg. Since 1971 he has preached that the existence of a personal God is "a comforting invention of human beings." Schulz also wrote a book, Is God a Mathematical Formula?, and, in answer to the title question, he answered no but declared that God emanates somehow from "physical and chemical processes." Prayer? Mere "self-reflection." Life after death? Wishful thinking. Jesus? A normal man with good things to say who was later glorified into...
