		<description><![CDATA[Mark W. Hendrickson writes at the <a href="http://www.visandvals.org/Financial_Intrigue_in_Greece.php">Grove City College Center for Vision and Values</a>: "Should Americans care about all this? Not long ago, the euro was being touted as a possible competitor with the dollar for global foreign currency reserves. Not today. But if you are tempted to gloat, here are two reasons why you shouldn’t: 1) We Americans have become a significant player in the stop-gap Greek bailout. That is because the IMF has been like the cavalry riding to the rescue, promising big bucks to the Greek government. Since the largest contributions to the IMF come from the American taxpayer, we find ourselves once again picking up the tab for a bailout—this time, not for rich American financiers, but for corrupt and profligate foreign governments and special interest groups . . .

		<description><![CDATA[Paul Belien <a href="http://www.hudsonny.org/2010/02/catch-22-in-the-eu.php">writing at Hudson New York</a>: "With the euro in crisis, the British are currently counting their blessings while the Germans are trying to cut their losses. The near bankruptcy of Greece is dragging the euro down, but bailing out the Greeks is probably illegal under the EU Treaties, while ejecting Greece from the eurozone is illegal as well . . . Legally, however, it is impossible to eject a country from the eurozone without ejecting it from the EU altogether - which is legally impossible as well. This creates a catch 22 situation, which the Germans can only solve with a very radical solution: leaving the eurozone themselves. If Berlin were to do this, it would be able to create a new eurozone without the PIIGS countries - a euromarkzone of sorts, with France, the Benelux countries, Finland, Austria and Slovenia. Though no-one is admitting it in public, various economists do not rule out such a scenario." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/02/17/catch-22-in-the-eu/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paul Belien <a href="http://www.hudsonny.org/2010/01/will-the-euro-survive.php">writing at Hudson New York</a>: "With Greece facing bankruptcy, the fears about Greece's financial situation have led to a drop in value for the euro. Last week, the finance ministers of Germany and the Netherlands - the two eurozone countries which in pre-euro days had the strongest currencies in the EU: the German mark and the Dutch guilder - announced that they will not help Greece solve its problems . . . British Eurosceptics fear that if Greece, which represents 3% of EU GDP, is bailed out, other eurozone countries facing financial difficulties (Spain, Portugal, Italy) might claim the same treatment. This, they say, would saddle Britain with a bill of £50 billion to save a currency in which the Brits have never believed." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/01/28/will-the-euro-survive/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

Four sets of parents have asked for religious symbols to be removed from their children's classrooms and one pupil has filed a complaint about her school making her attend religious education classes." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/01/12/greece-debate-on-religious-symbols-intensifies/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

Kapordelis</em></a>, No. 07-14499 (N.D. Ga. June 1, 2009) Gregory C. Kapordelis, an anesthesiologist, was convicted in United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia “for producing, receiving, and possessing child pornography in violation of <a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00002251----000-.html">18 U.S.C. §§ 2251(a)</a>, <a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00002252---A000-.html">2252A(a)(2)(A)</a>, and 2252A(a)(5)(B).” He received a 420-month sentence. On appeal to the 11th Circuit, Kapordelis disputed the affidavit for the warrant that led to his arrest, the evidence that convicted him, and the “upward departure” of his sentence. The 11th Circuit affirmed the conviction and sentence. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/06/03/11th-circuit-upholds-conviction-for-%e2%80%9cextraterritorial%e2%80%9d-production-of-child-pornography/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>
