THURMONT, Md. - The second day of meetings between leaders of the Group of Eight is underway at Camp David near Thurmont.

And it's drawing a crowd of demonstrators.

Organizers from Occupy Baltimore expect more than 100 protesters to turn out today.

Meanwhile, G-8 leaders are prodding Germany to balance its push for European fiscal austerity.

President Obama set the tone Friday after meeting with France's newly-elected president, Francois Hollande.  Mr. Obama declared the aim of the summit is to promote both fiscal consolidation and a "strong growth agenda."
