Greece have been dealing 1 with severe economic problems. It has been getting finial bailouts from European Union and the country is looking for help right now. These bailouts come with condition.Greece has to find ways to reduce its massive debt. On Sunday, Greece law makers 2 agree to cut 15,000 jobs by the end of 2014.

Is this legit? DNA 5 stands for the deoxyribonucleic acid.
It's true. DNA is a code to a person's genetic 6 information and it's nearly every sound in the human body.
DNA is like a set of biologicalin structions. It's what makes each species, each person unique from others. Itcan play a big role in criminal investigation 7 as you might see on TV.Investigators 8 can use something called DNA fingerprint 9 to profile based oninformation from 13 DNA regions. Experts say if it is used in the right way,this profile can help accurately 10 identify people. Authorities in Boston toldCNN they found female DNA evidence on the fragment from one of bombs that exploded there last month terrorist attack. That could mean that woman workedwith bombing suspects. But investigators say the DNA could also come from any women who touched any item used to make the bomb. It could also be from afte male victim. Those bombs went off near the finish line in the BostonMarathon. The city's police commissioner 11 says he considered using drones, unman aircraft to increase security surveillance at next year's race. Loyce Seagal looks at some of the different ways those vehicles can be used.
