6. This Deserves Special Attention - Preceding World War II, Siemens was involved in funding the rise of the Nazi Party and the secret rearmament of Germany. During the Second World War, Siemens supported the Hitler regime, contributed to the war effort and participated in the "Nazification" of the economy. Siemens had many factories in and around notorious concentration camps to build electric switches for military uses. In one example, almost 100,000 men and women from Auschwitz worked in a Siemens factory inside the camp, supplying the electricity to the camp. The Siemens logo is still visible above the gas chambers at Buchenwald concentration camp.

So despite all that, and whatever efforts they made at restitution since the end of the War, they see no problem in dealing with Iran and have to be shamed into renouncing its business ties with that terrible dictatorship.

12. I Love This - Prank gone wrong!! Here's the background:

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) -- A Kansas high school basketball coach whose blindfolded half-court shot became an Internet sensation will be going to the Final Four after all.

Joel Branstrom says he can't disclose where the tickets are coming from. But he said Wednesday he's been told he and his family will get tickets, lodging and transportation to Indianapolis for the games in April.

Branstrom, a former University of Kansas walk-on, went along with what was supposed to be a prank last week during a pep rally at Olathe Northwest High School, where he also teaches biology.

Students who set up the prank and promised the basketball tickets were shocked when he made the blindfolded shot -- especially since they didn't have any tickets.
