The Face of the Syrian Refugee
_This article is the second in a series written by Piper Perabo in partnership with WhoSay and the IRC about her experience with Syrian refugees in Greece._ Did you know that Albert Einstein came to the United States as a refugee? That's right -- one of the world's most recognizable geniuses was a refugee fleeing persecution from Nazi Germany. There are two major disconnects in the conversation surrounding today's refugee crisis. First of all, I've heard people, including respected journalists, refer to the situation in the Middle East and Europe as a "migrant crisis." Let's set the record straight: Migrants are people who make a conscious decision to leave their countries to seek a better life elsewhere -- to find work, a better education, or higher standard of living. Refugees are forced to leave their homes because of conflict and are therefore protected under international laws augmented after World War II. The second disconnect is that people with wildly overblown fears are setting the tone of the debate about this crisis and, as such, are distorting facts. The United States will not recognize persons who have participated in war crimes and violations of humanitarian and human rights law, as refugees. They are specifically excluded from these protection laws. (_Ali, 4, and his parents at the Kara Tepe transit camp on the Greek island of Lesbos. They traveled from Aleppo Syria. Ali lost his hearing when a bomb was dropped close to his home when he was only 5 months old. He is unable to speak or hear and requires surgery. After the bombing his mother moved him and his siblings to Lebanon where they have been for the past threes years saving money until they can make the journey onward to Europe._) I recently traveled to Lesbos, Greece, with the International Rescue Committee, a global humanitarian aid organization that was created at the request of Albert Einstein, and was surprised by the kinds of people I met on the Greek shores. While there are nearly 1.8 million refugees sheltering in camps and urban areas in Turkey, many of those streaming into Europe have come straight from Syria; most are middle class, educated professionals, often fluent in English. Frankly, I didn't expect this. The first place I visited was the Kara Tepe camp, best described as a gravel clearing near the municipal water station with a handful of bathrooms and Shelter Box tents. This temporary transit camp is meant to hold 500 people, but was housing nearly 5,000 when I arrived. I asked the people I met where they came from; many named cities in Syria such as Damascus and Aleppo. One young man had been a translator for coalition forces in Afghanistan; his English was very good. An older woman, who also spoke English, was an elementary school teacher. One man owned a men's clothing store, another supervised a cement factory. (_IRC Voice Piper Perabo visits Molyvos in Lesvos, Greece, where she witnessed the arrival of refugees. She hopes to bring awareness about the mounting crisis and to help where she can._) Most people told me they didn't want to leave Syria but were forced to abandon their homes because of the danger. Also, they couldn't operate their businesses, their water supply dried up, and their electricity was shut off. Because of the war, their children hadn't been able to go to school in two years. By this point, winter was imminent and they had lost hope that the war would end. Living in Syria was hell and they couldn't wait any longer. I spent time with one Syrian couple -- a woman about my age and her husband, a computer teacher -- who cared for their precocious 4-year-old son and his grandmother, a former elementary school teacher. They had family in both Spain and Switzerland, so the family's goal was to emigrate to one of those countries. That was typical of the people I met; most wanted to go where their relatives lived. One older woman confided to me that she was forced to leave her husband behind because he was an amputee unable to make the arduous journey. One of their children stayed behind to help him while the rest fled in hope of finding a safer place. Can you imagine? (_A boat filled with refugees arrives on the beach of Lesbos, Greece._) These people didn't want to leave Syria; but until the war ends, there is no way to survive there. "I love my country, but it's not safe," the owner of the clothing store told me as he walked away. These people, who could easily be you and me, have been forced to flee their homes in order to survive. The least we can do is educate ourselves about what's really going on, report their stories accurately, and treat them with dignity and respect. For more about the refugee crisis in the Middle East and Europe, head here. --- _Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the International Rescue Committee offers emergency aid and long-term assistance to refugees and those displaced by war, persecution or natural disaster.

By Angeliki Koutantou and Lefteris Papadimas ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece must crack down on undeclared work, create more jobs, merge its pension funds and unify contribution rates to revamp its ailing pension system, a committee set up to find ways to make the system viable said on Thursday.

GOLDMAN: 'We believe a US recession remains years away' (DIA, SPY, SPX, QQQ)
A handful of slowing economic indicators and deteriorating market metrics suddenly have some economists warning that we could be heading for an imminent recession. But that's not the house view at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. “Chinese market turmoil, a Greek fiscal crisis, plunging oil prices, and the prospect of rising interest rates certainly can put investors on guard,” they write in their Q4 2015 report. "But we believe this year’s bouts of volatility are the sort which stir markets without shaking their foundations. Most significantly, the ongoing economic recovery in key developed markets, from the US to Europe, remains early to mid-cycle.” While there are indicators signaling contraction, there are many others signaling expansion. "A range of cyclical economic indicators suggests the US economy remains on solid footing," they added. "The current economic recovery, despite running for more than six years, is holding steady. In fact, indicators ranging from housing to inflation to wages suggest the current expansion still has room to run." Looking back at recessions since 1975, GSAM analysts found the average number of years we had to wait after certain key economic metrics hit levels that we're seeing today. "We believe a US recession remains years away," they said. Here some color about the chart's indicators from GSAM: "Chart data from 1975 to 2015. ‘Average Hourly Earnings’ is a Year over Year (YoY) measure of earnings for production and non-supervisory employees. ‘Inflation’ looks at the YoY change in US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Deflator, which measures the price change of domestically produced goods and services. ‘Yield Curve’ represents the spread between the US 10-Year Treasury and the Federal Funds Rate, which measures the steepness of the yield curve. ‘Housing starts’ represents the 12-month average number of new residential construction projects. The ‘Leading Indicator Index’ is a composite which tracks 10 economic factors designed to signal peaks and troughs in the business cycle."

The TTIP of the spear
IT IS becoming hard to remember a time when Europe was not in crisis. The European Union doused the Greek fire (though the embers still glow) only to be confronted with flows of refugees it could not manage. Relations with Russia, already gravely wounded by the invasion of Ukraine, are now further complicated by the Kremlin’s deployment in Syria. And Britain’s long-dormant “renegotiation” of the terms of its EU membership is about to blow up into a high-stakes affair that could end in Brexit (see our special report). Next to this house of horrors, striking a trade deal should have been easy. So Europe’s leaders thought when they gave the European Commission a mandate to negotiate the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with America in 2013. The EU could do with a jolt of growth, and America is a natural partner; there should have been no rows about cheap goods undermining European workers. Yet TTIP has run into a wall of opposition. Polls show majorities oppose it in several...
