As European leaders are frantically discussing whether the European Union's bailout fund should be increased from its current size of $585 billion, it's clear that the debt crisis in the eurozone is entering a new stage - one in which events can unravel quickly. At this stage, the European sovereign debt crisis has become a systemic problem for the European periphery as a whole - and not just a series of mishaps in its individual countries. As a result, it also has become a systemic problem for the European banking system, as much of the periphery's debt sits on balance sheets of major German banks. Given the magnitude of the problem, it is striking to observe the utter inadequacy of European policymakers' response. Many in the Brussels political elite are in a state of denial. Earlier ...
RICHMOND | A veteran state senator who has a long record on energy issues predicted last week that the 2012 General Assembly will consider ending a decades-long ban on uranium mining. I can't predict an outcome," Sen. Frank Wagner, R-Virginia Beach, said after a panel discussion on uranium mining at AP's Day at the Capitol. "In fact, I don't even know who the patron of the bill would be. I'm just drawing on 20 years of experience on something this big and with this kind of interest on both sides.
While communication breakdowns have plagued contract negotiations between the city and its unions, one unlikely group succeeded in engaging in an hourlong give-and-take with Mayor John DeStefano Jr. Tuesday. That group was a class of seventh- and eighth-grade students at Celentano Museum Academy on Canner Street. The students engaged in a frank, smart discussion with DeStefano, who visited their school after the kids wrote letters about concerns such as youth violence, teacher layoffs and the magnet school lottery system.
When Gov. Jan Brewer and President Obama sat down at the White House June 3, both sides looked forward to a frank discussion about Arizona's harsh new anti-illegal immigration laws, while simultaneously hoping to calm tempers that have flared after the bill passed. Brewer, engaged in a tough intra-party battle for the gubernatorial nomination this year, has been defiant in her promises to defend the new law from federal officials, going so far as to insist a hand-picked legal team represents the state rather than Democratic Attorney General Terry Goddard. Obama, on the other hand, has expressed opposition to the bill, going so far as to criticize it while standing next to Mexican President Felipe Calderon.
People have asked Pitney Bowes' Michael J. Critelli, as a CEO, what he wants from communication. His answer is simple: he wants communication to work. Pitney Bowes has a decades-long culture aimed at fostering frank, open discussion. Those are sometimes hard to get started, so another technique he uses is to start asking the audience questions. Or asking himself questions that he knows they think are out of bounds, or that they would think but not ask the CEO in a large room. Just to be sure, he would wants to check his engagement data too.

Sometimes, however, it's difficult to know what brand to get behind. In California, the Austro-cowboy governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is trying to wean his state from fossil fuels. But in order to bring geothermal and solar power from the desert to the coastal masses, he says, new transmission lines will have to be stretched across some of the state's most fragile wildlands. In this issue's other feature story, Judith Lewis explores the ramifications. Some environmentalists are balking at the price the desert is being asked to pay for green power. For his part, the governor is flummoxed: "If you can't put solar panels in the Mojave Desert, then where the hell can you put them? Back at the HCN panel discussion, former Colorado Wildlife Commission member Rebecca Frank might almost have ...
