Greek Leader Vows to Stay and Fight Debt Crisis
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou called on party lawmakers Thursday to support his unpopular austerity measures. Mr. Papandreou insists that his country to continue and work itself out of the debt crisis it is facing right now. He gave these remarks after two Socialist deputies had resigned earlier that day in protest to the way their government was handling their economic crisis.
Mr. Papandreou acknowledged that his country had made mistakes, but he also promised that the European Union will come to their country's aid with an enormous loan deal. European Union econimcs commissioner Olli Rehn said in a statment Thursday that euro-zone goverments will agree at a meeting starting Sunday in Luxembourg to pay the next installment of rescue loans for Greece, while delaying the final decision on a longer-term Greek aid package until July.
Greece is due to receive €12 billion by the end of the month, with €8.7 billion coming from euro-zone governments and €3.3 billion from the IMF.

Turkey bans use of Google, services
Turkey has placed an indefinite ban on the use of the search engine Google for "legal" reasons. The country has also placed bans on google IP addresses without listing any reasons for doing so.
Other Google owned features, such as document sharing and YouTube have also been banned indefinitely in the country. Even Facebook is not allowed in Turkey. When people attempt to access those sites while within the borders of that country, they are brought to a site which tells them "access to this site is banned by court order."
Looks like we won't be able to use Facebook or Google while we're in Turkey. Oh darn.
