VIENNA (AP) ? The tombstone marking the grave of Adolf Hitler's parents, a place of pilgrimage for neo-Nazis, has been removed from an upper Austrian village cemetery at the request of a descendant, and the grave is ready for a new burial, officials said Friday.

Walter Brunner, mayor of Leonding village, said the stone with the faded black and white portrait photos of Alois and Klara Hitler was taken down Wednesday. Village priest Kurt Pitterschatscher said the rented grave was available for a new lease.

Austrian graves are usually leased for periods of 10 years. The lease is renewable and can be willed to friends or relatives.

Asked whether he would have trouble persuading people to let their loved ones share a grave with the parents of a man whose name is a universal epitome of evil, Pitterschatscher said, "I really haven't thought about it."

Pitterschatscher said the stone and black marble marker, topped by a granite cross, was removed without ceremony by a stonemason hired by the relative, described as an elderly female descendant of Alois Hitler's first wife, Anna. What's left at the site is a white gravel square and a tree.

He said he did not know the woman personally and did not identify her by name but cited her request for termination of the grave lease as saying she was too old to care for it and tired of it "being used for manifestations of sympathy" for Hitler.

Hitler's roots are in Braunau, near Leonding, which is commonly identified as his hometown after the village that he was born in was incorporated into Braunau in 1938. But he and his family moved to Leonding in 1898 when he was 9 and lived there until Hitler was age 15.

Leonding itself first assumed cult status for his followers after Hitler visited his parents' grave and the nearby family house following the 1938 annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany.

The family's Leonding house now warehouses coffins for the cemetery, and Brunner said in a telephone interview that ? unlike the more than 100-year-old grave ? it did not draw Hitler fans.

Anti-extremist groups say neo-Nazis, sometimes coming in groups, placed flowers and Nazi symbols on the grave.

Robert Eiter, with the Upper Austrian Network Against Racism and Right-Extremism, said the latest incident was on All Saints day, Nov. 1, when an urn was left with the inscription "UnvergeSSlich" ? German for "unforgettable" and alluding to Hitler's SS shock troops.

"A lot of flowers and wreaths were deposited there from people who clearly were admirers," he said. "It had to do with the son and not the parents."

Brunner, the mayor, said he was "happy with the decision," to remove the tombstone and Eiter said most Leonding residents also supported it.

Hitler himself committed suicide in his Berlin bunker in 1945. Attempts to burn his body were only partially successful, and his remains were recovered by the Soviets. The find was kept secret, allowing Stalin to perpetuate a Cold War myth that Hitler survived and was hidden in the West.

After decades of uncertainty and disinformation, the demise of the Soviet Union has allowed researchers to establish what they believe is the truth about what happened to the body.

Hitler's jaws and skull were later rediscovered in secret archives in Moscow and went on display in Russia's Federal Archives Service in 2000. The rest of him turned out to have been buried beneath a Soviet army parade ground in the former East German city of Magdeburg.

His remains were exhumed in the 1970s and incinerated. The ashes were flushed into the city's sewage system.

Austria has moved from its postwar portrayal of being Nazi Germany's first victim to acknowledging that it was Hitler's willing partner. Most young Austrians reject Nazi ideology and condemn the part their parents might have played in the Holocaust.

At the same time, the rightist-populist Freedom Party ? whose supporters range from those disillusioned with more traditional parties to Islamophobes and Holocaust-deniers ? has become Austria's second-strongest political force.

An Anti-Defamation League survey taken this year and published last week said that ? while remaining high ? anti-Semitic attitudes decreased from 30 percent to 28 percent in Austria compared to 2009.

HONOLULU (AP) ? Hollywood icon James Cameron has completed his journey to Earth's deepest point.

The director of "Titanic," ''Avatar" and other films used a specially designed submarine to dive nearly seven miles. He spent time exploring and filming the Mariana Trench, about 200 miles southwest of the Pacific island of Guam, according to members of the National Geographic expedition.

Cameron returned to the surface of the Pacific Ocean on Monday morning local time, Sunday evening on the U.S. East Coast, according to Stephanie Montgomery of the National Geographic Society.

He spent a little more than three hours under water after reaching a depth of 35,756 feet before he began his return to the surface, according to information provided by the expedition team. He had planned to spend up to six hours on the sea floor.

Cameron's return aboard his 12-ton, lime-green sub called Deepsea Challenger was a "faster-than-expected 70-minute ascent," according to National Geographic.

There were no immediate reports regarding Cameron's well-being. A medical team was present when Cameron, 57, emerged from the sub, according to the expedition.

Expedition physician Joe MacInnis told National Geographic News before the journey that recent test dives, including one that went more than five miles deep, had gone well and that he expected Cameron would be fine.

"Jim is going to be a little bit stiff and sore from the cramped position, but he's in really good shape for his age, so I don't expect any problems at all," said MacInnis, a long-time Cameron friend, according to National Geographic.

There was no immediate word on when photographic footage of the journey will be released.

The scale of the trench is hard to grasp ? it's 120 times larger than the Grand Canyon and more than a mile deeper than Mount Everest is tall.

"It's really the first time that human eyes have had an opportunity to gaze upon what is a very alien landscape," said Terry Garcia, the National Geographic Society's executive VP for mission programs, via phone from Scotland.

Swiss engineer Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh, a U.S. Navy captain, are the only others to reach the spot. They spent about 20 minutes there during their 1960 dive but couldn't see much after their sub kicked up sand from the sea floor.

One of the risks of a dive so deep was extreme water pressure. At 6.8 miles below the surface, the pressure is the equivalent of three SUVs sitting on your toe.

Cameron told The Associated Press in an interview after a 5.1 mile-deep practice run near Papua New Guinea earlier this month that the pressure "is in the back of your mind." The submarine would implode in an instant if it leaked, he said.

But while he was a little apprehensive beforehand, he wasn't scared or nervous while underwater.

"When you are actually on the dive you have to trust the engineering was done right," he said.

The film director has been an oceanography enthusiast since childhood and has made 72 deep-sea submersible dives. Thirty-three of those dives have been to the wreckage of the Titanic, the subject of his 1997 hit film, which is being released in a 3-D version next month.

Self-reflective mind -- in animals! Psychologists report on continuing advances

Friday, March 23, 2012

According to one of the leading scholars in the field, there is an emerging consensus among scientists that animals share functional parallels with humans' conscious metacognition -- that is, our ability to reflect on our own mental processes and guide and optimize them.

In two new contributions to this influential field of comparative psychology, David Smith, PhD, of the University at Buffalo and his fellow researchers report on continuing advances in this domain.

Smith is a professor in the Department of Psychology at UB, and a member of the university's graduate program in evolution, ecology and behavior and its Center for Cognitive Science. His co-authors on the articles are Justin J. Couchman, PhD, visiting assistant professor of psychology, State University of New York at Fredonia, and Michael J. Beran, PhD, senior research scientist, Language Research Center, Georgia State University.

In "The Highs and Lows of Theoretical Interpretation in Animal-Metacognition Research," in press at the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, Smith, Couchman and Beran examine the theoretical and philosophical problems associated with the attribution of self-reflective, conscious mind to nonverbal animals.

Philosophical Transactions is a highly visible journal in the biological sciences and one of the oldest scientific journals published in English.

"The possibility of animal metacognition has become one of the research focal points in comparative psychology today," Smith says, "but, of course, this possibility poses difficult issues of scientific interpretation and inference." In this article, they evaluate the standards that science brings to making difficult interpretations about animal minds, describing how standards have been applied historically and as they perhaps should be applied. The article concludes that macaques do show uncertainty-monitoring capacities that are similar to those in humans.

The other contribution, "Animal Metacognition," will be published in March by Oxford University Press in the volume "Comparative Cognition: Experimental Explorations of Animal Intelligence." Smith says this volume will be one of the preeminent sources for scholarship in animal cognition for the next decade.

In this article, Smith and his colleagues provide a comprehensive review of the current state of the animal-metacognition literature. They describe how Smith inaugurated animal metacognition as a new field of study in 1995 with research on a bottlenosed dolphin. The dolphin assessed correctly when the experimenter's trials were too difficult for him, and adaptively declined to complete those trials.

The dolphin also showed his own distinctive set of hesitation, wavering and worrying behaviors when the trials were too difficult. In sharp contrast, when the trials were easy, he swam to the responses so fast that he would make a bow-wave around himself that would swamp Smith's delicate electronics. Smith says: "We finally had to buy condoms to protect the equipment."

Subsequently, Smith and many collaborators also explored the metacognitive capacities of joystick-trained macaques. These Old-World monkeys, native to Africa and Asia, can make specific responses to declare uncertainty about their memory. They can respond, "Uncertain," to gain hints from the experimenters of what to do on the first trial of new tasks. They can even respond, "Uncertain," when their memory has been erased by trans-cranial magnetic stimulation. Accordingly, this second article by Smith and colleagues also supports the consensus that animals share with humans a form of the self-reflective, metacognitive capacity.

"In all respects," says Smith, "their capacity for uncertainty monitoring, and for responding to uncertainty adaptively, show close correspondence to the same processes in humans.

"At present," he says, "members of South-American monkey species or New World monkeys have not shown the same robust capacities for uncertainty monitoring, a possible species difference that has intriguing implications regarding the emergence of reflective mind in monkeys, apes and humans."

Simon Johnson: Fiscal Affairs: Last Ditch Attempt to Save a Little Bit of Investor Protection in the U.S.

As it currently stands, the "JOBS" bill now before the Senate would gut investor protection in the United States. The title of the bill is a complete misnomer -- anything that weakens investor protection makes it more risky to invest in companies and increases the cost of capital to honest entrepreneurs. (For more background on the bill and links, see this piece.)

Much of the 1930s-era Securities legislation, which served us well for more than 70 years, is about to be repealed in a moment of bipartisan madness.

Almost all attempts to amend the House version of this legislation -- and to make it more favorable to investors -- have now failed in the Senate, and the "cloture motion" received more than 60 votes (so the bill cannot be filibustered). But Senator Jack Reed (D., Rhode Island) is leading one last charge to make the Senate version more reasonable.

Here is the issue with H.R. 3606 (as the House version of the bill is known), from Senator Reed's website:

The SEC requires public companies to disclose meaningful financial information to the public. This provides a common pool of knowledge for all investors to judge for themselves whether to buy, sell, or hold a particular security. Only through the steady flow of timely, comprehensive, and accurate public information can people make sound investment decisions. The result of this information flow is a far more active, efficient, and transparent capital market that facilitates the capital formation so important to our nation's economy. H.R. 3606 would roll back key investor protections, denying the public critical information that is essential to make sound judgments and would ultimately not lead to the proposed goal of the bill: providing for access to capital, particularly for small emerging companies.

The "JOBS" bill would permit even very large companies to avoid all public disclosures.

Amazingly, it would also exempt these companies from having to comply with the federal regulation regarding mergers and acquisition. Private equity firms would even be able to manipulate the market while making a tender offer for shares -- the kind of behavior that has really been taboo (and illegal) since the 1930s.

Senator Reed has put forward an amendment, #1931, that will at least partially retain some of our existing investor protections and disclosure requirements.

Specifically, Senator Reed's amendment would close or limit a major loophole that will allow large companies to avoid registering with the SEC (and therefore escape much regulation). The Reed Amendment would clarify how to define "shareholders" for the purpose of determining if a business is so widely owned that it must register with the SEC. Under the Amendment, the count should be based on beneficial owners of the shares, i.e., real people. The goal is to prevent evasion of the SEC registration threshold through "nominal" owners holding the shares for large numbers of beneficial owners.

Big companies like H.R. 3606 - they will be regulated less and if the cost of capital rises for start-ups, that actually helps them. The Chamber of Commerce, the American Bankers' Association, and the Independent Community Bankers of America have all weighed in heavily against the Reed Amendment - the idea of escaping SEC scrutiny greatly appeals to them.

The Chamber of Commerce's letter against the Amendment to Senators closes with this statement - or you might call it a threat (bold and underlining in the original):

The Chamber strongly opposes this amendment and may consider including votes on, or in relation to, this amendment in our How They Voted scorecard.

Under Senate rules, the Reed Amendment would need just 51 votes today in order to pass. But against this kind of corporate firepower, does this entirely reasonable Amendment have any chance?

Tigers' Cabrera to miss a week, ready for opener

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) ? Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera will miss at least a week after being struck in the right eye by a hard grounder on Monday.

Cabrera received eight stitches, but Tigers President and general manager Dave Dombrowski said Tuesday that Cabrera's vision is "perfect" and he won't go on the disabled list.

Cabrera said he's not in pain, and expects to be ready on opening day. He's moving from first base to third after the Tigers signed Prince Fielder as a free agent.

Cabrera was hit on Monday off a hard one-hop shot by Philadelphia's Hunter Pence. He was wearing sunglasses for one of the first times in his career.

Dombrowski said there were imprints from the ball on the sunglasses.

How can I start investing in the stock market at 18? ? Sakemi's Blog

I am 18 years old, still in high school, and I want to start investing in the stock market. I have close to $10,000 saved for college. However, I will be keeping most of that in CDs and my money market savings. I want to start investing not for the money, but for the experience. I plan to major in either Economics or Finance in college. When I get out of college, having 4 years of experience (no matter the amount) seems like a great investment for me. Even if I start out with a thousand or two and end up losing 25%, it is better than losing 25% when I am experimenting with bigger amounts after college.

So where would I go to start this sort of thing. I am thinking about starting at $1000 and possible going to $2000 depending on how I do. I dont wan?t to just throw it in a fund and have other people manage it for me, I want the experience. I love seeing how companies react to news, how the stock market reacts to announcements, and most of all I love trying to understand the changes in prices of stock. Where do I get started? And do I have to have a parent on this investment account with me?

Your going to need a broker of some kind who will take your money
and invest it into the stocks that you want to buy shares of. There are
so many ways to invest, so best you read up on the subject of investing.

Well, many of the on line brokers require a minimum of $2500.Some only $500.Scottrade requires only $500. You could start there.No parents necessary.You are 18.Legal age.Actually, there are a few blue chip stocks that pay about 3% dividends and that is tax advantaged.PG is one.There is some risk to these that you would not find in a CD.Some LPs pay 7%.They are not blue chip but some have very good records.

Study materials and books etc are available at National Stock Exchange and Mumbai Stock Exchange. Read those and complete that course.

In the meantime keep the money invested in Bonds.

Check out etrade or something similar or go to a local brokerage..maybe someone there could be something of a mentor.

Forex,Futures,options,Bonds
download a free platform software like MT4

bonds

For starters be careful w/ cds make sure they are 3 or 6 month since you will be going to school soon (im assuming based on your age). Dont put money in bonds they take to long to mature and interest rates are so low. However their is no reason you couldnt buy some individual stocks. However your parents would probably have to be involved, and also make sure you research stocks before buying them. cnbc as well as aol or google finance provide stock prices, fundamentals, charts, and news. However if you want the learning experience dont blindly pick stocks, research before you buy. Also dont be too quick about dismissing mutual funds most peoples retirement accounts are made up of mutual funds

The best way to start out investing in stocks is to invest in what they call an exchange traded index (ETI). An ETI is a package of stocks that are similar to those in a stock index, like the Dow, Nasdaq, or S&P500. You can then purchase shares of these indexes as though you were investing in a mutual fund. Except that your ETI will track exactly to the index it?s based on.

The reason this is a good way to start is that you?re not having to guess which particular stocks will do well and putting all of your eggs in that one basket. By investing in the ETI, you can watch the performance of all of the stocks and get a feel for how the stock market works, without putting all of your money at risk in one place.

Mutual funds are also a good investment. This is where a brokerage (like Fidelity or Vanguard, for example) hires fund managers to create investment packages out of shares of various types of stocks that they think will do well over time. And, this can be any group of stocks the fund managers chose. That is, they?re not tied to any specific index. The risk here is whether the managers know what they?re doing to where their mutual fund can at least keep pace with or outperform the major indexes. But, there?s also the potential of greater reward.

Copyright Protection

In my opinion, a serious author needs to copyright his work.

?

What does copyright mean?

Copyright registration helps an author prove he is the original author of a work.

?

For those who don?t care about protecting their work this article is not for you, but for those who are concerned about protecting their work this article may be for you.

?

First, I am not an attorney; I am an author. The information in this article is based on my experience and opinions. My opinion and three dollars will get you a cup of coffee most places. That being said, I think many writers will find this information useful.

?

In actual practice a writer needs to ask himself, ?What kind of copyright protection do I want or need?

?

There are basically three levels of protection:

1) The copyright notice placed in a conspicuous place on your work.

Copyright notice consists of the word ?Copyright,? the year the work originated, and your name, (Copyright 2010 Yourname).

?

This level of protection carries Evidentiary Weight of Notice. That simply means that the defendant, (or infringer), cannot claim innocent infringement. (U.S. Copyright Code section 401 paragraph (d) Evidentiary Weight of Notice)

?

In the real world what can this do for you?

I do article marketing for my website. A few short months ago I had an article plagiarized. I had placed copyright notice on my work. The offender eliminated the resource box from my article and claimed the work as his own. This act prevented me from receiving visitors to my website by eliminating my links.

The steps to stop the infringement are as follows:

?

a) I notified the infringer and told him to either replace my resource box, copyright notice, and proper ownership immediately or remove the article from his site. (This works most of the time.)

?

b) Most website?s ISP/ hosts provide strong language against copyright infringement in an acceptable use policy, (AUP). After a reasonable time for response, (two or three days), contact the offender?s host and inform them of the copyright infringement. The first question they will ask is, ?Did you provide copyright notice on the work??

?

If you did not provide notice you may have problems getting the web host to remove the problem.

?

If you provided notice, there is no defense for the infringer. The web host will more than likely have the infringing party remove the article or give proper credit. They may even kick the plagiarizer off their hosting. They don?t want to be involved in problems any more than anyone else. (This works 99% of the time).

?

2) If you have tangible provable damages that you want to recoup in a court of law then you will need a witness for your copyright notice. In most countries a notarized document provides that witness. (A notary is simply a bonded witness and carries significant weight in a court room.) You may be able to recover provable damages and legal fees.

?

3) In the United States, the notarized document may get injunctive relief, (stopping the offender), but it will not be sufficient for damages. Registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is required to get damages and legal fees.

?

If you are not concerned that?s okay, but if you take your work seriously then you might provide some protection for your work.

?

I am not a lawyer or expert in copyright law. This advice is taken from my personal experience and my personal opinions.

Chrysler recalls 210,000 Jeep SUVs for corrosion issue

DETROIT (Reuters) - Chrysler is recalling nearly 210,000 Jeep Liberty sport utility vehicles due to potential problems resulting from excessive corrosion that could lead to a loss of control by the driver.

Chrysler, which is controlled by Fiat , is recalling the estimated 209,724 Jeep SUVs from model years 2004 and 2005. Some may be equipped with rear lower control arms that can fracture due to corrosion caused by road salt used in certain states, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Chrysler is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue, NHTSA said.

The recall is expected to begin by the end of April and the rear lower control arms on all affected vehicles will be replaced, according to NHTSA.

NHTSA said it opened a preliminary evaluation of the issue in April 2011 based on nine complaints about fractures due to excessive corrosion. The probe was upgraded to an engineering analysis in September 2011.

The cars affected in the recall were originally sold or are currently registered in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C., according to the documents.
