Athens Greece Now web site updated.
Bank run on Proton Bank is pulling the entire Greek banking system into a circle-the-wagons mode, brought on by the (quite possibly illegal under Greek law) emergency transfer of €100 million into the bank from the Papandreou government, along with a government-backed bond which allows four other Greek banks to provide an emergency €50 million loan to proton to keep it afloat amid the bank run that has wiped out its liquidity. But that;'s not the biggest problem, instead all of the Greek banks are facing a liquidity crisis as the Papandreou government nears the scheduled withdrawal of €10 billion to make payment on maturing bonds coming due in September!

Large crowd at the Expo event for Lego (held at the "Dulles Expo" convention center in Chantilly Virginia)

Quite a few Lego fan clubs with exhibits from membership. Mostly childrens work, but quite a few adults with impressive constructions, some so large they towered a good twenty feet into the air.

Many variations on iconic pop-media items (Star Wars, especially).

Though there were mainly Northern-Virginia family groups at the event, many young males were in attendance too, either exhibiting or taking pictures of the exhibit items.

There were signs noting that customized lego pieces were used for many of the exhibit items, meaning that some self-creation/alteration of lego pieces was necessary to create some of these amazing pieces.

Site Update: Athens Greece Now

2011-07-14T09:27:00.001-07:00

More trouble in Athens: Papandreou is pressuring the EU leadership to get its plans together about a second Greek bailout. Investors are getting more skittish about the future as a default becomes more likely after the third of the "Big Three" credit reporting agencies (Fitch) downgraded Greece to just above 'default.'

IF default happens (and the EU leadership obviously doesn't want it), the Greek banking system will seize up and the country will be plunged into an avenue of unpredictable results, with the potential of a serious negative effect upon the rest of the world economic systems.

More online at the web site ATHENS GREECE NOW

The Germans have just recently backed-off from some of their demands for participation by private investors into the Greek bailout effort: S&P, Moodys and Fitch are all saying they would treat such as de facto 'default.'

Athens greece Now web site: privatization woes

2011-07-05T05:39:00.000-07:00

Updated Athens Greece Now web site with additional material on the ongoing financial crisis in Athens.

With privatization pressures mounting, the Papandreou government has to carry off the controversial sell-off of some €50 billion in state assets. Following the example of a similar situation with East Germany after communism in Europe imploded (i.e., the 'Treuhand experience'), the Greeks have to navigate privatization while dealing with three immediate dangers: Whether to use (or not) the very bureaucracy that is being put out of business by privatization; At what rate of speed to sell, since the Treuhand method moved so quickly that buying partners had distinct advantages by knowing the clock was ticking for the seller; and finally, Greek public opinion, which will certainly view any sell-off that seems to look only to the advantage for foreign investment buyers and losses for the Greek state as a de facto dismemberment of the country.

Much more about this online at the Athens Greece Now web site here.

"The protest effort around Syntagma Square in the lead up to the vote on the "Troika" bailout plan in the Hellenic Parliament has become a series of international images of flames and tear gas attacks, punctuated with masked young men swinging makeshift clubs at Greek riot police. The headline " Violence mars protest" has become a cliche in the inrternational press coverage of the Greek street actions around Syntagma Square. "
