The world is not falling apart. Most of the planet is doing far better than ever before. The sections of violence and destruction are merely the result of intentional enabling by a Dear Leader who wants his nation cut down to size. That can be reversed by electing a rational, well-intentioned president next time. What the world should fear is that that won´t happen.

Obama had said a few weeks ago the world is more tranquil than it was 5 years ago. Had George Bush said this, the leftist media will still be reporting, daily, how utterly clueless George Bush was. Not one challenge by the liberal media to Odumbo about what he said. I think they are shell shocked how stupid Obama really is.

Disagree with #1The world has been falling apart at a quickening rate. Sure there have been times of horror in the past, especially our "world wars" and our own war between the states-- revolutions and epidemics.Why is it different now? Simply because the increase in greed and avarice at the highest levels of power coupled with the disregard for the sanctity of life and the erosion of moray in general is setting the tone for a world where even the most lurid headlines have become commonplace and shock us no more.When despair sets in it´s easy to blame it on "all this bad news"-- but the source of the bad news, the reason for the slide of society into the cesspool can be blamed on real evil.Bad news can either numb us or move us to action to try to restore morality and sound law. It can stir us to fight for human dignity or we can give in to hopelessness.Because I put my trust in God above all things, all this bad news does two things: It makes me trust Him more, and it moves me to do all I can to fight evil at every level-- especially the evil that resides in me.

FTA: "And then there's the example that probably screams loudest in the liberal imagination: George W. Bush drummed up support for the war in Iraq, which at the time of the U.S. invasion sat at 75 percent, by painting a world in which Al Qaeda and its radical affiliates posed an existential threat to the Western world."Was this not true? Obama´s world confirms it. The news is informing us exactly what a truly terrifying threat radical Islam is to this world. They are not making this stuff up. The brutality and violence are escalating because Obama does not want to acknowledge the root of all this evil. He is incapable of leading this country and has given up any moral authority we had on the world stage. By his weakness and ambivalence he is enabling evil. Our enemies rejoiced when he was elected. Obama has made the world a very dangerous place. Burying your head in the sand will not change it either. You must confront evil.

Sorry, but I´m not nearly on board Ms. Hyphenated´s study....when people are led to believe things are falling apart, it affects their decision-making and their politics — whether or not their pessimism is warranted.Pessimism today is usually warranted, Ms. Hyphen.We already know from political-psychological research that the more threatened people feel, the more likely they will be to support right-wing policies.And this is a bad thing? Why say "right wing" rather than "conservative"? People instinctively know that conservatives are more protective and reactive to threats on America. That is simply common sense, good news, and reasonable conclusions.And people who believe in the concept of unmitigated evil appear more likely to support torture and other violent policies.What is wrong with addressing those who want to blow us up with violent means? Are we supposed to serve them haute cuisine and talk nice to them instead? When a bomb is about to go off, you don´t negotiate; you use whatever means necessary to stop the bomb."You can't change the externals," she said. "You have to get some control mentally." What's most important is "getting a handle on why you get anxious and worried about things that probably aren't going to happen, or knowing what your triggers are." How does she conclude that those things won´t happen? This is dangerous fatalistic thinking; We are supposed to just suck it up and be passive, placing more emphasis on self-awareness rather than changing what are clearly bad situations? She is intimating that activism is futile and that understanding ourselves (typical liberal psychoclaptrap) is more important for stress-reduction than actually doing something about it.Granted, there are some things we are helpless to control, such as the immdediate situation where our representatives don´t represent us, but you don´t just sit back and analyze your own reactions.continued...

....continuedI do agree with turning off the news now and then to take a break from the negativity, but to avoid it is to play ostrich in a world where not knowing what is going on is far more dangerous that knowing.Our country is already populated by know-nothings, from the street to the White House. We don´t need more uninformed people. We need people who are less self-absorbed and more informed. If we get slightly stressed out about it, so what? We´re never supposed to get stressed out?Stress is a good motivator. So is anger. Not everything good that gets done is done because people avoid stress. It gets done because they are angry at injustice, angry at being lied to, angry at despotism, angry at foolhardy policies, and damn angry at the man in the White House who triggered the demise of America´s credibility and military capabilities.This study need not have been done at all. We know why we are upset and we know that not watching the news will probably stop us from being upset. But it would also place us at a disadvantage. The balancing act she is proposing makes no sense.And while I am at it, the world really is a nasty, evil place, made more so by generations who have eschewed honor, decency, delayed-gratification, sanctity, accountability, decorum, and God. He has rules.While pockets of goodness and decency exist throughout American and the world, we are hemmed in by people who are just plain bad, and that includes some "children". It is past due that we realize that we indeed can change things but it takes hard work, long planning and decent men and women -- things that are in short supply these days./rant

Love your ´rant,´ especially about us needing more informed citizens. Have you ever seen the man on the street interviews and how shocking it is that the average person knows so little about what is going on. If they don´t see it on Twitter or whatever else it is they have going on, they don´t know about it. Rude awakening coming soon.

The world has always had pockets of evil, but what is different now is that it´s spreading unchecked across the entire planet. Indeed it´s clear that "something wicked this way comes." And unfortunately for this country, our President not only has no interest in stopping it, but he´s even dropping our defenses and opening up our borders so it can enter more easily.

Bottom line, if you don´t read about it or see it on tv, you won´t know how bad things are. Such a skewed premise. As if we are not living the Obama nightmare that touches every aspect of our everyday lives. The cost of food, gas, medicine, etc.Although...perhaps I will use this article to convince my dr.´s office that they need to turn off the ubiquitous CNN to save my health and sanity.

Those who need a rationalization to escape and avoid facing what´s happening in the world today might get some comfort from Jesse Singal´s piece. Might data from, say, the last decade alter Pinker´s assessment? From the next decade?

I think that all the "bad news" is most upsetting to Conservatives because we tend to want to DO SOMETHING rather than sit around waiting until a crises forces action...OR...waiting for someone else to bail us out.I don´t mean that we should "rush to war" or not attempt to recruit our allies but, SOMEBODY has to LEAD.The Socialist (aka Democrat) "Grasshopper" in the White House is the key to my nervousness. He plays, partys and vacations while Winter approaches rapidly.We Conservative "Ants" plan, set goals and work toward them in the hopes that we may never NEED to tap into the "Rainy day fund" but assured that it will be there if the day comes that we do.From this flat lined (for most of us) economy, to the horrors in the Middle East and Africa, the lies, inaction, and ineptitude of this administration... AND...the fact that there don´t seem to be an HONEST Democrat in the country fuels my greatest fears for our future.

Agreed #1, the planet, as a whole, is doing better than ever. However, the left is in charge of America, and we should be very afraid that the American electorate won´t elect a "well-intentioned president next time". In 2012, we had a very capable, well-intentioned candidate, and America said no. 2012 was a very important election, and the world is reaping the consequences of our stupidity. I don´t have much hope we will get it right in the near future either.

The entire article is nonsensical theory and opinion. One of the worst lines:"We already know from political-psychological research that the more threatened people feel, the more likely they will be to support right-wing policies. And people who believe in the concept of unmitigated evil appear more likely to support torture and other violent policies."If the above were true, it would mean that over half of the American people were fat, dumb and happy, didn´t listen to the news and think that life is just peachy under Dictator Obama. Oh, wait... Just because half of us are clueless idiots doesn´t mean that the world is not in deep trouble. Just because we are not being threatened with MS-13 gangs in our neighborhoods and are not being fired upon with AK-47s today doesn´t mean it will not happen tomorrow. This polling process has its limitations.

Rant appreciated. I have 3 close conservative friends who, in the last few months, have basically given up watching or reading any news to avoid stress. The problem wasn´t their lack of motivation, but rather their feeling of complete helplessness because we appear to have no cohesive organization or leader.Anyway, your rant is mine #5. And I suspect it´s most of ours. So, thanks.

But #1.....I havd to worry because I see so many who receive checks from the Government and they´ll vote for SATAN to keep those checks coming. I have to say......my job requires me to be in Court often and the Judge became frustrated because EVERY SINGLE case was a person who was on DISABILITY. He was so frustrated that day, he asked the question, "Tell me, who is NOT on disability here today?" I rarely take medication, but once last year, I had to go on antibiotics for bronchitis.....I was shocked to see a line of elderly and young people waiting for their drugs and paying with their Government CARD and getting boxes filled with drugs! Seems to me, it doesn´t get better, it´s getting much worse. Here I am a SS and still working full time and I see so many living off (SLAVES) to this government with no concern for anyone (including our country) but themselves.

For #1 and #12; please go to www.usdebtclock.org and look at the numbers as they quickly increase; not just US numbers but the rest of the world´s. Just stop and look at them for a minute. All those numbers, especially debt and especially the currency and credit derivatives are a result of something and that something is not that the world is doing pretty well except for a few small places. And a vote that elects a conservative, hell a vote that elects the Lord Himself, would make absolutely no difference. Truth, facts, data are not ignored, they are hated by most people and the results of that hatred is yet to happen, and a small teaser of coming future results can be seen at the above website. If you´re believers, read Romans 1 and the first verse of chapter 2 then ask yourself who Paul is talking about and who he is talking to. Until that gets fixed, all this "bad" stuff is academic, promised to happen by God and will only get worse.

All the problems of this country can be traced to Obama and the democratic party. Get rid of them and return to American values and common sense. We pay excellent salaries for people who claim to be doing their job. Apparently they are not, so fire them. But no, everyone protests, even the GOP, we cannot possibly fire incompetents. Oh no, don´t do they, says the GOP and democrats. No, no way.

Wrong analogies. Coverage of the Vietnam War always started with a downed B52. Turns out they were using different angles of the same downed plane for the subliminal effect. Now, because the march of ISIS would destroy forever the meme of Islam as a religion of peace, they are editing out the be headings and the religious cleansing.

The premise of the story, as I read it, is that Americans are fed an neverending stream of bad news for the purpose of drawing their sustained interest in a crowded field of news outlets while driving certain civic/political viewpoints. What would Dr. Goebbels give for the current distribution of news, and the compliance of Journo-listas and the like?FTA: How can we fight back against the unnecessary coarsening of our outlook that may be occurring every time we glance at one of our gadgets? The simplest technique is, as McNaughton-Cassill put it, to "Just turn it off." That is, take a break from the news. Switch off CNN and shut down TweetDeck for awhile and don't sleep next to your phone.Does anyone disagree with that advice? Turn off Big Brother´s propaganda meatgrinder. That´s not to be uninformed - it´s to become better informed by using outlets whose "information" is more critically absorbed.

#6, My adult daughter asked me just a few days ago why I paid so much attention to politics and world events when it seems to stress me out. I told her, "I felt someone in the family needs to know what is going on, what the truth is about our world today." I have three adult kids, two of which don´t pay attention beyond the surface level. The one that did pay attention, in detail like me, got too stressed out, he had to limit his attention.I really would rather no know all the bad things that are going on, but my nature is to face things head on and not live in denial. I am like most here, caring about the world we leave our children and grandchildren and looking for opportunities to turn things around.I do believe that putting in a conservative as President would provide one opportunity. By 2016 people may cry "uncle" and let the pendulum swing back to the "right" side.

What it´s doing to us is making us an angry and frustrated society, aggressive and intolerant, threatened and fearful, and that´s the ones who care. Everybody else is at the mall, or the beach, or at the movies. The second group frustrates the first group almost as much as those who are proactive in destroying the values and standards we hold dear. Our electoral process is fraught with fraud and intimidation, and for many of us voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil, but we are compelled to slow the slide. Bad news is what we expected with the election of someone so manifested in wrong thinking, we knew what would happen. So here it is - know it - work to defeat it - inform those who will listen - and talk to God. "God is our refuge and our strength, our very present help in trouble." Ps 46:1 To despair serves evil.

Instead they say, settle down, sit down and take it easy. Everything will be OK, meaning you´re crazy to obsess about him. i.e. He´s not trying to harm the country. That´s gaslighting. Their bias is revealed when they refer to GWBush and the reason folks turn to the Right.

I really enjoyed Matthew McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club,and I'm glad he won the Oscar.
One would think McConaughey would have other talents relating to this way with words. Curiously, though McConaughey has only written one film project (a 1998 short titled The Rebel, which he also directed and starred in), he tells The Wall Street Journal, "I write a lot more than I read." He explains that good writing will inspire him, saying, "I'm a very slow reader but good writing will set into me and then I'll have to put a marker, and I want to go see if I can apply these philosophies to life."
But when it comes to his own writing, he elaborates, "I do a lot of writing. Journal entries, social commentary, philosophies, life approaches. I try to dissect most things in my life and things of other people that I know that have been successful, and dissect success. I noticed it's so much easier to dissect failure but I found it to be important to go 'hey, really take a moment with yourself, dissect what's going on when things are going well!' Because there's a science to it, you know? Just as there's a science to not being satisfied or not being as excited about the day, there's a science to being excited about what you're heading into. A lot of that for me and my work has been process, process, process. Don't worry about the result, get your head down as an actor. It's always one at a time, and that's one of the fun things about it, just going in and saying 'look, do one man at a time.'"
Okay, let's be honest — is there anyone who wouldn't want to read a book of Matthew McConaughey's philosophies on life?

Close to St. Mark´s church, there is a very nice place to light a candle and pray for the loved ones that is the porta di pietra.

There was no sign that we could see to indicate what we had found but my friends and I loved spending a couple of...
Wonderful part of the city … a quiet beautiful historic site! Those who have interest in religious site will want to include it on your walk through Zagreb. Light a candle in memory for a loved one.
A few yards up the street towards St Mark's from the Stone Gate, attached to a low stone plinth, there are two chains. I've heard that these are the rudder chains from HMS Victory, placed there by the helmsman, a Croat, in gratitude for having survived the slaughter of the Battle of Trafalgar.
Well Stone Gate, is just that a gate, with a small shrine and place to pray as you pass through it. My wife and I just walked past initially half thinking that maybe it was the gate, but still not 100% sure.

Cinco de Mayo: NOT Mexico's Independence Day
With a history steeped in battles and rebuilding, Mexico has earned every right to be proud. Today marks a Mexican holiday that more and more people every year celebrate in the United States, many not knowing the reason is: The "Batalla de Puebla" (Battle of Puebla) or "Cinco de Mayo" (Fifth of May).
While it may all seem like a huge fiesta now, the history of this holiday is covered in bloodshed and remembrance.
Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not the celebration of Mexico's independence day. The El Grito de la Indepedencia (Cry of Independence) is held annually on Sept. 16 in honor of Mexico's independence from Spanish rule in 1810.
Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of freedom from a different oppressive European empire: France....

Day 6: Made it to back packer place last night, parked, had a beer (ok two) and some stuff that was suppose to be lasagna, got back to the room and collapsed. It had been a challenging day. Made my way to Monkey Bay with helpful locals pointing the way to Venice Beach. It was down a dirt/sand road then a trail through a small village. The last .5 k was in deep sand that I thought I would get stuck in it but bike keep digging me through. Elly wins again. Venice Beach is a nice place on a white sand beach.
Insurance office
One should always celebrate their victories, but really?
Day 7: Rest day m/l. Spent the day getting up and walking out in to the lake every time it started feeling hot, rough life but someone has to do it. Just soaking up the sun, more frying in the sun as I am red as a lobster from knees down.
Day 8: Best laid plans of mice and men I picked a spot about 450k north and headed out with 250k worth of fuel. First I had problems with the ATM got it to work once for 20,000Kwacha but could not make it work again. Then I could not find any fuel which has been about 600 Kwacha per liter or $2.00 US per liter. So I changed course and headed to the capital, Lilongwe with hopes of finding fuel. I was down to 30 K of fuel left when I bought some on the Black Market for K1000 per litter. For those of you still in the stone age thats $10 a gallon m/l. Will hold up here at a back packer place till morning and try agin to find fuel. I just do not know how a county can run with this fuel problem. They have let their currency float but must still be restricting it or there would be fuel.
How you get fuel in Malawi at about $10 per gal.
Road to the Mushroom Farm, I was just to wore out to make it up, so turned around here.
Cabin where I did stay, they were trying to get this place up and running again, but they have a long way to go, they need a good maintenance man.
Days 9, 10: Yesterday, Sunday, I decided to have a good lunch at Korean Garden Lodge, very nice place, linen table cloths and all, I got food poisoning. From now on I stick to street venders and the spots the locals eat. Got one and half piece of french toast down in the morning, lost it 25k out. Rolled on to Chiweta where I turned up the road to Mushroom Farm, a place I had heard of, this road made Sani Pass look like a freeway. After 3k I saw on the GPS that the switch backs got so close it was just a pink blob and I had 7k to go, exhausted from no sleep last night I gave up and went back down. At the bottom I read the Mushroom Farm sign that said call for pickup Which I considered but was too tired so went back a couple of ks and stayed at a place on the beach.
Day 11: Up and out by 6:00. It gets light here early and dark early. Found a local place to eat and got fried eggs with a salad of tomatoes, green pepper and onion in a really good dressing, first food I felt like eating since Sunday. 150k to the Tanzania boarder and I found both sides to be tad dippy (thats a technical term). They had to have the address of where I was going,(I never know for sure till I get there). Just giving them a city will normally work and they needed to know where I had stayed last night. But boarders tend to be that way. Through Moz and Malawi all but one of the places I stayed were leftovers from colonial times, most in poor repair. I think there is a shortage of skilled trades, electricians or carpenters or plumbers. Many of the fixes look easy and cheap but just are not being done. The hotel I am at in Mbeya Tanzania looks like it was built by locals and is real nice for only 25000 per night, ($15). First impressions of Tanzania are good, beautiful farms, lots of activity and more cars driven by locals, not just the NGOs and government people.
This is where I need to decide which way to go, east route is 1000k of dirt and west is mostly tar. The clouds looked real black and it rained some I am going to cop out on the west and head over to Zanzibar.
Day 12: I crossed much of Tanzania today from the southwest to mid-east. From high cool forested areas to dry and rocky. The people have been friendly and helpful. The road has been from poor to good with 68k of construction. I went by three truck accidents that had just happened. There is a lot of truck traffic but what I really hate is the buses, They will pull out to pass a truck and ignore anyone coming.
When a truck breaks down it just stops in the road and they put chunks of brush and limbs in the road to warn on coming traffic. The driver stays with the truck and waits for someone to come to fix it setting up camp under the truck. One of the accidents I came on yesterday was where one of these broke down trucks had been hit, probably in the dark. There was a down truck about every ten k and with no lights on these driving at night would be suicidal.
At one point I came on a truck, (that had gotten off to the side) that was under going a major engine overhaul. Pistons and sleeves were stacked on the side of the road.
Spent the night at TanSwiss camp/lodge, best place I had been for awhile but I battled the mozies.
Sign coming into Tanzania, kind of lays it out there.
Looked like someone had laid out a garden landscape
Hotel in town
Day 13: Headed out for an easy 250k to Dar Es Salaam, Biggest city in Tanzania and ferry port to
Zanzibar. It is hot, humid and some rain with traffic a real mess. Perfect conditions for what is technically know as Monkey Butt. It turned out to be a hard day and six hours to make it in to the city. It was kind of what it would be like if you put I-5 traffic back on old 99, with speed bumps in every village, slow trucks, and psycho bus drivers. All the traffic may be a pain but it means their economy is working.
But once into a hotel and showered I went for a hike to an internet café I had seen on the way in. Venders selling almost everything. I stopped and bought five squers being BBQed of what I think was pork, (cost 500). Then got a wedge of fresh pineapple for 200. So for less than 50 cents I had lunch, well almost as It was so hot that I had to buy a litter of water to make it to the internet café. Had a great time talking to the few who could speak English and trying to get the other to understand I did not need to buy a bus ticket. I wore a HU shirt that has the earth and moto logo which made it easier to explain I was riding my motorcycle around the world and they all thought that was a great thing to do.
Ever wonder what happens to all the collections of shirts, shoes etc. gathered up by the good ladies at the church for the poor people in Africa. Well it works like this: the collected bundles are sent to a consolidator who loads them into a container who dutifully ships them off to some country in Africa. When the container hits the port it is unload and bundles spread out on the dock where they are auctioned off, (money pocketed by corrupt bureaucrats and politicians which they use to buys guns and such to stay in power). The distributors that bought the bundles then mark up and sell to local venders. I have seen them sold in every country. The farmer, cotton gin and tailor no longer can compete with their local cotton and are out of business. Oh and the real poor can not pay for what was suppose to be free and are still in rags. So the next time they want you to help collect stuff for the poor in Africa tell them they will do more good having a bond fire with the bundles. Well meaning people and governments have done more damage to Africa than good.

I do get to eat once and a while

Day 14: Moved down town Dar, 10 k took one hour. I am not sure the traffic is worse than La Pas Bolivia but it is in the running for sure. Got ferry tickets lined up and will go over tomorrow.

As you've seen, we spent the latter half of last week at the Pebble Beach Automotive Week in Monterey, California, which is an annual week-long banquet of events for automobile enthusiasts and connoisseurs who converge on the Monterey area. While the collection of automotive hardware (everything from some of the most expensive classics to the latest model exotics) spotted around the Monterey peninsula was the largest and most impressive gathering we've ever witnessed, the highlight of the trip for us was having the first look … CONTINUED

While the four BMW DTM teams are hard at work preparing for the seventh race of the season at the Nürburgring, visitors to the automobile weekend in Pebble Beach, over 9,100 kilometres from the "Green Hell", were treated to an exciting glimpse of the future: it was there that BMW M GmbH launched the BMW Concept M4 Coupé, an innovative high-performance sports car based on the new BMW 4 Series. This model also provides the first taste of the BMW M4 DTM, with which BMW … CONTINUED

The Nolans Are Not Involved in the Upcoming DC Universe
by Adam Chitwood Posted 30 days ago
While there is an inherent rivalry between the Marvel film adaptations and the DC film adaptations, Warner Bros. has taken a few major pages out of Marvel Studios' book when it comes to crafting its own DC universe. It has the big team-up movie planned with a two-part Justice League event, it announced a full slate of superhero films that includes standalone features and sequels to existing properties, and its entire slate will exist within one singular universe. Something Warner Bros. doesn't have, though, is a Kevin Feige. As the President of Marvel Studios, Feige produces every single one of Marvel's films and is essentially the glue that holds the entire universe together. He takes point on plotting out where the overall arc for the MCU will go, and ensures that there is strong connective tissue in each movie.
It's not that Warner Bros. hasn't tried to install its own Feige-type creative head, as the studio would've loved to have had Christopher Nolan stick around after the Dark Knight Trilogy and oversee the subsequent DC films, but Nolan's brother Jonathan Nolan—who penned the script for The Dark Knight and co-wrote The Dark Knight Rises—recently confirmed that he and his brother have nothing to do with the upcoming DC Movie Universe. More after the jump.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congress' nonpartisan budget analyst says raising the federal minimum wage as President Barack Obama and Democrats want would raise earnings for more than 16.5 million people by 2016. But it would also reduce employment by roughly 500,000 workers.
The Congressional Budget Office analysis comes as the Senate prepares to debate a Democratic plan to gradually increase the current $7.25 minimum wage to $10.10 an hour in 2016.
The budget office analysis examined the impact such a plan would have by 2016, when the increase would take full effect.
The analysts said their estimate of employment losses was approximate. They said the actual impact could range from a very slight employment reduction to a loss of 1 million workers.
Democrats say the wage boost would help workers. Republicans have warned it would cost jobs.

Job Search Tips
These tips have been taken from Getting from College to Career
by Lindsey Pollak.
Before you head off into
the real world ...
There are a few more pieces of advice
to heed before venturing out into the real world:
*Be willing to ask for help if it is
needed. No one expects anyone else to have all the answers, so when in
doubt, always speak up.
*Take time to get advice or feedback.
*Remember that finding happiness is a
lifelong process that will almost certainly change several times, often in
unexpected ways.
*Always meet new people, constantly
develop new skills, and pursue interests.
*Never forget about enthusiasm. Do not
be afraid to display passion or be successful.

Panel Discussions - Sunday, April 03, 2011
First IPI Vienna Workshop on OSCE Issues
A workshop at IPI's Vienna office on April 3rd focused on confidence-building measures (CBMs) and how they have been used to reduce tensions and build trust between parties in several conflict situations throughout the world. It also briefly reflected on experience with CBMs in the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) area.
This event, held under the Chatham House rule of non-attribution, involved international experts and representatives of OSCE-participating states such as Eugin Carpov, Deputy Prime Minister of Moldova, and Vladimir Yastrebchak, the Chief Negotiator for Transdniestria.
Participants outlined both top-down and bottom-up approaches to increase confidence and repair distorted relationships between parties. They underlined the importance of political will, and taking a "leap of faith" that should be reciprocated. It was stressed that CBMs are a process, and cannot be prejudiced by a pre-conceived result.
"The main issue is trust," said one participant. He pointed out how the word "confidence" in English has a double meaning: either positive, in the sense of building trust, or derogatory in the sense of con men and con tricks. "We have to move from confidence tricks to confidence measures," he said.
"In order to build trust, parties have to demonstrate their own trustworthiness," observed another participant.
The workshop--which took place on the eve of the "5+2" settlement negotiations involving Moldova, Transdniestria, the OSCE, Russia, and Ukraine, plus the United States and the European Union--also reviewed the process of building confidence between Moldova and the break-away region of Transdniestria over the past twenty years.
It was the first in a series of IPI workshops designed to focus on issues related to the OSCE.

How The Linux Foundation and Fedora are Addressing Workstation Security
Are you a systems administrator? Quick, which system in your infrastructure is most vulnerable to hacker attacks? No, it's not the web server -- though it's a good guess. No, it's not the firewall. The answer may surprise you -- it's your workstation.
Think about it -- unless you're working for an agency with extremely rigid security policies, you are probably able to connect to servers you administer right from your workstation. Perhaps not all the time -- perhaps you have to establish a VPN connection first in order to be on the "inside." Once that is done, however, your workstation becomes an extremely interesting target for malicious hackers, since at that time your workstation happens to be the least protected system that sits both on the outside and on the inside of your trusted network.
Did you know that your workstation is currently running software that was written for the sole purpose of letting others execute arbitrary code?

Vermont Stage approaches the cutting edge comfortablyJune 15,2014The Bake Off, this week at Burlingtons FlynnSpace, is just one of many indications of how far Vermont Stage Company has come over the past three seasons likely becoming the states foremost year-round professional theater company.
The brainchild of VSCs artistic director of the aforementioned three years, Cristina Alicea, The Bake Off divides a popular play into three parts, each presented by a different director and cast.
This year, the play was Christopher Durangs wacky comedy, Beyond Therapy, and the cast changes Tuesday were made mid-scene seamlessly and hilariously.
But The Bake Off is merely window dressing to Aliceas tenure at the helm of Burlingtons resident professional theater company. Much more importantly, she and her company have refreshed the Vermont theater scene with work that is both challenging and entertaining.
This past season serves as an example. Opening was a refreshed approach to Yasmina Rezas hit comedy of intellectual pretension, Art, contrasted with the intense psychological family drama of Jon Robert Baitzs Other Desert Cities. And the company premiered a Vermont play, Greg Pierces quirky and surreal drama The Quarry.
Still, the pièce de résistance of Vermont Stages 2013-14 season was David Ives dark and sexy black comedy Venus in Fur. Alicea herself directed this delicious two-character battle of the sexes. Not only was it riveting and funny, it was well out of the mainstream of the rest of Vermonts theater season which was pretty ordinary.
That production was also emblematic of another refreshing policy of Aliceas. One of the two actors was from New York, the other, Jordan Gullikson, a particularly fine Vermont professional. Alicea regularly casts excellent Vermont actors, adding those from New York when necessary or desirable, benefitting all.
Alicea came to Vermont from Washington, D.C., where she was assistant to the managing director at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company. Previously, while in New York, she directed more than 20 plays, most of which were new pieces by emerging playwrights. She earned her bachelors degree in theater at George Mason University.
After more than a decade with Mark Nash at the helm, Alicea proved an inspired choice for Vermont Stage. Nash, a well-respected veteran, had been more traditional in his choice of repertory. He also tended toward favoring New York actors. (Nashs fine, locally inspired holiday creation, Winter Tales, continues as an annual event at Vermont Stage).
In her first season, 2011-12, Alicea revealed her passion for quirky but first-rate theater with Anna Zeiglers feminist Photograph 51 and Sarah Ruhls oddball contemporary comedy, The Clean House. And she instituted the first Bake Off with Ruhls comic take on the Greek legend, Eurydice.
Alicea also came along at a good time for Vermont theater. Just two years ago, White River Junctions Northern Stage fired its founding artistic director, Brooke Wetzel Ciardelli, for undisclosed reasons that were not related to ethics. Before she left, Ciardelli had created the states most successful year-round theater with a budget nearing $2.5 million.
Ciardelli was a brilliant theater manager in that all this happened with only short dips into the red. She was and is also an excellent director. Her swan song was a truly compelling production of John Logans Red in March 2012.
Upon her departure, Northern Stage immediately dumbed down, both its quality of performance and choice of repertory. This past season, however, shows signs for optimism including plans to build a new theater.
Alicea, in many ways, seems to be taking on Ciardellis mantle. Not only does she manage a thriving theater company, she is introducing excellent performances of intriguing plays.
Alicea just announced Vermont Stages 2014-15 season and the trend toward unpredictability continues: Christopher Durangs Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, Oct. 8-26; Winter Tales, Dec. 10-14; Or, by Liz Duffy Adams, Jan. 28-Feb. 15; Greg Pierces Slowgirl, March 11-29; The Mountaintop, by Katori Hall, April 22-May 10; and The Bake Off, June 16-21. (For information, go online to www.vtstage.org.)
