Greek government officials are poring over a draft of the country's third bailout agreement drawn up on the basis of discussions with EU/IMF lenders, a government official said on Saturday, boosting hopes a deal could be wrapped up in days. Athens is racing to wrap up the bailout agreement of as much as 86 billion euros (£60.89 billion) by as early as Tuesday in a bid to get the first disbursement of aid by Aug. 20, when it faces a debt payment to the European Central Bank. Officials from European Union and International Monetary Fund lenders met Greece's finance and economy ministers in Athens on Saturday after EU finance officials held a teleconference on Friday and noted progress in the talks.

"Minecraft" is the hottest PC game in the world. It's like digital LEGO. Kids love it. Grown ups love it. You can play to survive, overcome challenges, or – my personal favorite – build ridiculously creative things. Some players stick within the bounds of the original game. Others color outside the lines with mods, or fan-made changes to the game itself. Here are eight astonishing examples of that creativity, from players of all kinds."Project Wasteland" seeks to recreate the look and feel of "Fallout." "Fallout" is one of the most popular open-world series around. It's set in a post-apocalyptic America. Radiation spoils the landscape and bottlecaps are currency. The game world is enormous. Modder and builder Dvnt set out to create the landscape and gameplay of the series within "Minecraft" – complete with all-new creatures, a "Pip Boy" electronic device straight out of the game, and a heads-up display. You can learn more about the ongoing project, known as "Project Wasteland," here. "Atropos" is a giant, gorgeous turtle...city...thing. It's hard to say what "Atropos" is. It's got buildings, caverns, giant mushrooms, smokestacks – all slotted into the intricate body of a giant turtle. The name comes from one of the three ancient Greek goddesses of fate. The beauty of this build is in the seamless integration of macro and micro. Here are some screenshots from within the great chelonian. You can download "Atropos" and find out more about the project here. This hammerhead shark sky battleship is straight out of an unwritten sci-fi movie. "Atropos" isn't the only stunning "Minecraft" uber-megafauna around. This "Redeemer-Class Gunship" is a feat of over-the-top biomimetic design. Creator Rossky writes, "Building this 2,045,747 blocks project took 43 days with about 2-6 hours of building every day. " If only we had an alien super-guppy invasion to give us a reason to build one of these in real life.

TURKU (Reuters) - Finland could stay out of a planned third bailout package for Greece, the Nordic country's eurosceptic foreign minister said on Saturday. "The government has a very tight policy on this. We will not accept increasing Finland's liabilities, or cuts in Greece's debts," Foreign Minister Timo Soini told Reuters on the sidelines of a congress of his The Finns party. He said he believed the bailout policy would not work, adding that the most likely scenario in the long term was Greece's exit from the euro zone. ...

We reached out to Mohamed El-Erian to get his take on what Friday’s US employment report tells us about the prospects for Federal Reserve policy. Here are his six main takeaways: 1. The continued strengthening of the labor market, including the net creation of 215,000 jobs in July, increases the probability of the Fed initiating its interest rate hiking cycle at the next policy meeting in September. But it is not yet a done deal. 2. While supportive of a September rate hike, Friday’s numbers were not totally determinant for two notable reasons: Domestically, wage growth remains frustratingly tepid; and, internationally, conditions are far from supportive. 3. The combination of slow wage growth and international economic fragility constitute headwinds to US economic lift off – not only cyclically but also structurally. As such, in the days and weeks ahead, the Fed will keep a close eye on three things in particular: disaggregated indicators of wage formation, demand prospects in the emerging world (particularly China), and the financial stability of Europe (including prospects of a sustainable deal between Greece and its creditors). 4. Having become a major determinant of asset prices around the world, including in decoupling them from fundamentals, Fed central bankers are also seeking to strike the right balance vis-à-vis financial markets (and not just economic conditions). They do not wish to further turbo charge prices; and they are probably not too keen on adding fuel to the vigorous financial engineering in corporate America, and on distorting even more financial asset allocations. But they also don’t wish to be the cause of a disorderly rout in markets, especially when it comes to risk assets. 5. Given all these considerations, look for Fed officials to continue to manage market expectations towards the likelihood of a September rate hike. They will do so in a rather gentle and measured fashion, stressing that they intend to keep their options open until the last minute – re-iterating over and over again the notion of data dependency. 6. Finally, we should not forget the global dimension. In the line-up of major central banks around the world, the Fed is the most likely to hike, and will likely remain in this pole position. It is followed by the Bank of England, with the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan well behind. All this illustrates once again the general global theme of central bank divergence, a phenomenon that also plays out in asset price formation. As such, “relative” trades will continue to provide interesting opportunities.Join the conversation about this story »

Greece's Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has admitted Greece cannot handle the flow of asylum seekers reaching its islands every day.After an extraordinary cabinet meeting, he has demanded that the EU provide assistance as the existing infrastructure to address the crisis is "insufficient"."We have a serious problem and that is why we asked Europe for help," Kathimerini quoted him assaying.Earlier on Friday the United Nations' refugee agency, the UNCHR, called on Greece to cope with the "chaos" on its islands.UN data suggests as many as 43 500 migrants entered Greece in 2014.This year, however, the number seems to have more than doubled in the first seven months alone. More than 107 000 are estimated to have reached the country since 2015 began.UNCHR's European Director, Vincent Cochetel, warned measures should be taken in order not to turn Greek islands into "a second Calais".He warned against any attempts at using the situation for political purposes, noting that, while EU partners must help ease the burden, it is Greece that should "lead and coordinate".In the words of Tsipras, it is now time for Europe to show it is a union of "solidarity".
