Greek strike shuts down country as austerity vote looms
Excerpt:Demostrators yell mottos throughout a protest against a new government austerity costs on the second day of a 48-hour basic strike in Thessaloniki, Greece on Wednesday November 3, 2012. Athens, Greece (CNN)-- Greece was gripped by a general strike Wednesday for a second day, as lawmakers prepared to vote on a new round of austerity measures that lots of people oppose as too painful for the country to bear. 10s of thousands of protesters are anticipated to take to the roads of the capital later on to demonstrate against more cuts. Greek media are anticipating a cliffhanger in parliament late Wednesday evening , with passage of the austerity measures anticipated by just a handful of votes . Parliament's economic affairs task force approved the costs late Tuesday. If legislators do not pass the austerity measures, it will certainly threaten the payout of the next worldwide bailout installment of 31.

- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
