Germans cannot turn backs on Nazi past, Merkel says
By Erik Kirschbaum BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany cannot simply draw a line under its Nazi past and must remain sensitive to the damage it caused to other countries including Greece, Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday, just ahead of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two. Speaking in her weekly podcast, Merkel said she was looking forward to a May 10 memorial in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "There's no drawing a line under the history," Merkel said, dismissing a yearning that many post-war generations of Germans harbour. "We can see that in the Greece debate and in other European countries.

Dear Justice Alito: Here's What Homosexuality Was Really Like In Ancient Greece
In Tuesday's Supreme Court hearings, which will determine whether the Constitution protects same-sex marriage and if states must recognize marriages from other states, notoriously conservative Justice Samuel Alito argued that it's possible to approve of gay relationships but not same-sex marriage, using Ancient Greece as an example in which homosexual relationships were "well accepted within certain bounds." So we at HuffPost Live wanted to dig a little deeper to see if, in fact, Justice Alito had a point. Turns out, it's a little more complicated than that. In the video above, Thomas Hubbard, a professor of Greek and Roman literature at the University of Texas and editor of Homosexuality in Greece and Rome, discusses same-sex relationships in Ancient Greece and what our gay brothers and sisters from way back when may have thought about same-sex marriage.

Excavations at Ancient Olympia Gymnasium Unveil New Findings
Another thirty meters of the eastern stoa, or colonnade, of the gymnasium at Ancient Olympia, Greece , has been revealed in excavations, the Greek Central Archaeological Council said, after a meeting that approved a study to drain rainwater from the site. According to the culture ministry, the gymnasium is a large quadrangular building, with central court surrounded by stoas. A series of rooms for the athletes probably occupied the west wing. The better-studied east wing consists of a solid outer wall, an internal double Doric colonnade, and another colonnade of sixty columns along the court. The colonnade along the court has been excavated up to 70 meters, while excavators estimate another 80 meters remain to be uncovered, if the project can secure further NSRF funding. The project has been included in the 2007-20013 NSRF cycle of funds. Excavators are facing problems from rainwater that used to drain by running on the road along the huge gymnasium – a complex covering a total of about 2.2 hectares (22 stremmas) – but now collects at a basin and floods the site. The report approved by the Council aims at resolving the issue by diverting the water towards the Kladeos River, nearby. The surviving remains of the gymnasium – where athletes practiced prior to the Olympic Games – dates to the 2nd century B.C. Kladeos damaged parts of it even in antiquity, and has swept away its west wing. The north section has not been excavated yet. (source: ana-mpa)

U.S. jobs report looms for directionless market
By Ryan VlastelicaNEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. stock market has struggled for direction of late, but next week's payroll report could confirm whether the recent weakness in data and stock prices is waning as the weather warms, or the start of a longer-term trend.Over the past two weeks, the Standard & Poor's 500 index has moved an average of 17.79 points daily, wider than the 12.43 point range in early March. The swings have amplified on mixed economic signals.While first-quarter earnings have topped expectations, revenue has fallen, with the biggest drops in the energy sector. U.S. data, including on economic growth, have been weak, but are seen as making the Federal Reserve less likely to raise interest rates soon, a view that has lifted market sentiment."There are a lot of offsetting trends in the market, which is causing a lot of choppy volatility," said Michael Mullaney, chief investment officer at Fiduciary Trust Co in Boston."I don't see anything on the horizon that will get people to buy stocks in droves, including the payroll report."The S&P 500 is about 1 percent away from the record close hit last Friday, when the Nasdaq composite index also hit a record - its first since 2000. At these lofty levels, markets are vulnerable to a sell-off.In a rare week in which both stocks and bonds weakened, traders may reconsider whether global yields will fall much further, given that the two-year German yield has been running below zero since last August. As yields rose in Europe this week, U.S. benchmark rates followed suit.Investors have been willing to leave the safe haven of bonds for bigger returns in stocks. But this week's bond market selloff has boosted yields, part of the reason some of the week's biggest losers include utilities and consumer staples companies that pay higher dividends.Some movement in Greece debt talks and less worrisome regional inflation data this week caused traders to reduce bets the European Central Bank might need to inject more stimulus. This led to the dumping of German Bunds, U.S. Treasuries and British Gilts."It appears there's finally a revaluation going on," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank in Chicago. "Equities are expensive relative to their history; the only market that makes them appear cheap is bonds."Relative to junk bonds, the earnings yield on the S&P 500 - the inverse of the P/E ratio, which is used for valuation comparisons with bonds - is around 5.8 percent, data showed.That is below the yield to maturity on junk bonds, of around 6.45 percent, indicating that stocks have a worse value than the riskiest corporate bonds.About 213,000 jobs are seen having been added in April, after an add of 126,000 in March. That was the weakest reading since December 2013, hurt by both weak crude oil prices and a strong U.S. dollar.(Reporting by Ryan Vlastelica; Additional reporting by Richard Leong; Editing by Richard Chang)Join the conversation about this story »
