Actually, there's more to it than that.
After we posted yesterday's item on Gersh Kuntzman's outstanding editorial leadership, Suburban Newspapers of America announced that is had chosen Kuntzman as "Editor of the Year—Daily, 3rd Place."
This is especially notable since Gersh's newspaper is a weekly — but it's a weekly that operates as a daily by posting nearly all of its content online, on a daily basis, ahead of the print edition.
Kuntzman won SNA's top "Editor of the Year, 1st Place" prize as a weekly editor in 2008. [He's won lots of other awards as well — and he's happy to tell you about them!]
Meanwhile, SNA chose one of Kuntzman's reporters — Stephen Brown — as "Journalist of the Year—Weekly, 1st Place."
Brown was an attentive student at the Graduate School of Journalism that Gersh operates at The Brooklyn Paper (referenced in yesterday's post). Brown learned so well under Kuntzman that he was hired away by AOL Patch as the editor of one of its Brooklyn editions … where he will be competing with … Kuntzman.
This video features Brown with "Not Gersh Kuntzman" Vince DiMiceli. Gersh was on vacation when it was shot and Vince, who edits the affiliated Courier-Life newspapers, went whole hog filling in. (Vince is a standout in his own right — as newshound, editor, page designer, and news media internet pioneer.) The clip proudly references Gersh's role in "training the journalists of the future."

Building a Better Bedroom: A Roundup of Pieces to Pine For
I'll admit, I've played it safe in the past, purchasing mundane furniture because it seemed to look fine. Having settled for far too many subpar pieces because they were easy, I now make it a point to only buy things that I love for my home. With a bedroom in desperate need of a makeover, here are a few products I've been pining after...
Keeping an image based list of your favorite items is a great way to stay organized and determine what you truly love. This method allows you to directly compare products, often making it obvious what you love and what you just like.
1. Pop art colors subdued by deep gray walls create a cozy yet sharp looking atmosphere. Balancing different colors and materials helps avoid a matchy-matchy interior. Image via Abigail Ahern.
2. The industrial style Stockholm Work Lamps hung above bedside tables, enable more usable counter space. Lifted from counter level, they draw your eye up, making the room appear larger. Image via Dezeen.
3. The RC01 rocking chair, available at Jason Lewis Furniture, is one of a kind. Shown in black walnut, this modern gem is a complete work of art.
4. The Tivoli Model One from Canoe is a vintage inspired treasure with superb audio and visual attributes. It's compact in size and it accommodates the iPod.
5. West Elm's Tribal Jute rug is made out of a rapidly renewable plant fiber that is both durable and sustainable. The fun, zigzag pattern and splash of orange, offsets its seemingly neutral tone.

Fed Defends Its Approach to Punishing Banks for Improper Foreclosures
Settlement Program Has Transferred About $3.1 Billion to Borrowers: Fed Report
WASHINGTON—The Federal Reserve defended its approach to punishing banks for misconduct in home foreclosures and said in a report issued Monday that about 83% of borrowers have cashed checks reimbursing them for financial injury.
The Fed said the settlement program, in which 13 banks agreed to compensate homeowners whose properties may have been improperly sent into foreclosure, had transferred about $3.1 billion to borrowers as of April. That agreement "provided for payments to borrowers faster" and resulted in banks...

Tiger Woods seldom says much on Twitter despite having 3.7 million followers and being nudged by his girlfriend, Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, to tweet more often.
"As far as her convincing me to tweet more, yes, she certainly has hinted that," Woods said Wednesday at Sherwood Country Club, site of his charity golf tournament that starts Thursday.
Vonn, 29, tweets more frequently and has about 253,790 followers.
"But I grew up in a different era and it's a little bit different for me," said Woods, 37. "I'm still a little bit old school."
The world's top-ranked golfer said of Twitter: "I'm kind of getting towards it, but still not quite grasping the whole concept yet."
"But I'll get there eventually," Woods said.

Burkina Faso's Alain Traore out with thigh injury
Burkina Faso's joy at reaching the quarterfinals of the African
Cup of Nations was tempered on Thursday after leading scorer Alain
Traore was ruled out of the rest of the tournament with a thigh
Traore left the field just 10 minutes into the 0-0 draw with
Zambia in the final round of Group C games on Tuesday. He has
pulled a left thigh muscle, Burkina Faso's team doctor said.
The Lorient forward scored three goals in the group stage to be
the tournament's leading scorer as Burkina Faso made the second
round for just the second time, and the first since 1998.
But he was stretchered off early against Zambia and won't be
part of the quarterfinal against Togo on Sunday.
"My AFCON tournament is finished," Traore told the African Cup
website on Thursday. "It has been a long wait for us to qualify
for the quarterfinals after such a long time, but my injury has
spoiled the enjoyment a little."
Traore came to the African Cup after a monthlong injury layoff.
He appeared as a substitute in Burkina Faso's opening game against
Nigeria and scored a late equalizer, then grabbed two goals in the
4-0 win over Ethiopia.
"Alain's chances of continuing in this Nations Cup are minus 10
percent," team doctor Romaric Toe said. "He pulled a muscle in
his left thigh and will undergo all the necessary examinations, but
his competition, I would say, is over."

The 21st century is marked not only by new technologies but also by an ever growing number of extinct and endangered animals. Apart from the extinct animals we will never see, these rare felines are so few since they are either threatened by loss of habitat or they have suffered from rare color mutation. Take a look at the rarest animals in the world!
The Maltese Tiger
The Blue tiger was reported mostly from the Fujian Province of China, being characterized by a bluish fur with dark stripes. The Maltese tigers have been reported as a subspecies of the South Chinese tiger, that is critically endangered. A blue tiger cub was born in 1964, in the Oklahoma Zoo, but died in its infancy. There are no blue tigers in zoos or private collections, and no known blue tiger pelts.
The Golden Tabby Tiger
The golden tiger has its white coat and gold patches due to an extremely rare colour variation caused by a recessive gene. Around 30 tigers are believed to exist in the world but many more are carriers of the gene. Records of the golden or strawberry tiger date back to the 1900s, in India. The first golden tiger cub born in captivity was in 1983 and this came from standard colored Bengal tigers.

Columbine Elementary School was the site of crunching leaves, dirt and rolling wheelbarrows filled with compost Saturday.
The laughter and excitement spread from children and teachers to parents and community members as they all worked together to close the Boulder school's garden for the season and celebrate the year's harvest.
It seemed like more work to keep the kids away from the "grownup tools" than preparing the garden's soil. Dozens of children ran around, pulling up old plants and eating garden potluck snacks.
"It's just a great community building tool," said Bryce Brown, founder of the local nonprofit Growe Foundation.
The event marked the one-year anniversary of the school's garden, created with help from the foundation's Garden to Table program. Now in 18 Boulder Valley schools, the popular curriculum educates children about eating and the environment.
"This year we had a gorgeous garden," said Micah Parkin, who has a first-grade daughter at the school and is one of the lead parent-organizers of the garden.
She said she is appreciative that the program encourages healthy lifestyle choices, working against childhood obesity.
"Kids want to eat things they grow -- things they might not eat if mom put them on their plate," Parkin said.
The students learned about the importance of water conservation and issues of agriculture. The planting, growing and harvesting they engaged in were partnered with science and math lessons.
The Growe Foundation works with teachers to make sure the program measures up to state standards.
"It's just a completely different experience," Parkin said about the kids learning from real plants and bugs rather than pictures and diagrams from a book.
The teachers and students explore how eating from local farmers is beneficial to the environment and sustainability.
"We'll ask them, 'How many trucks does it take to get from our garden to our cafeteria?' And the kids get it," Brown said.
Tim Plass and Suzanne Jones, Boulder City Council members, stopped by to see the garden harvest. They've been looking into a food summit to discuss barriers and opportunities of local food production, water conservation and open space.
"It's a mechanism to reach all these goals," Jones said.
There has also been discussion about a learning garden in downtown Boulder.
Some of the Columbine Elementary parents left their backgrounds of farming because they saw it as undesirable work and wanted a different life for their family.
"Things like this show it's a valued profession," said Curry Rosato, another one of the lead parent-organizers.

If you use Ageless Glow only on your face, one container will last 30 days.

Do you have a required minimum GPA to be considered for transfer admission?
We look for a cumulative GPA of 2.75. Most students who transfer to Clarkson have a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
How is transfer credit awarded?
If you are offered transfer admission to Clarkson, we will send your transcript(s) and course descriptions to your academic department at Clarkson for an official evaluation. The faculty evaluator will compare the courses you have taken, or will have taken by the time you enroll, to the required courses in your Clarkson degree program. A grade of "C" or better must be achieved for a course to transfer. We will only transfer in those courses which meet a requirement in your degree program.
When will I find out how much transfer credit I have received?
We try to have your official credit evaluation to you within two weeks of notification of your acceptance to Clarkson. The credit evaluation will indicate which courses are eligible for transfer, how many courses you have left to complete at Clarkson, and how long that will take. We will even evaluate coursework at your current school that you have not completed yet. This will be evaluated as pending credit, meaning the credit will be granted upon completion of the course and a grade of "C" or better in the course.
How much financial aid will I receive?
We cannot give estimates on financial aid packages. If you wish to be considered for need-based financial assistance, you must file the FAFSA form. We will automatically consider all transfer applicants for merit-based scholarships. There is not a separate application to complete to be considered for merit-based awards. Types of financial aid include need-based grants, merit-based scholarships, federal aid, state aid, loans and campus work study.
How do I apply for financial aid?
You will need to file the FAFSA to be considered for need-based assistance. All applicants are automatically considered for merit-based awards. You should also be looking for outside scholarships. A good place to look is http://fastweb.monster.com/.
Is on-campus housing available for transfer students?
Clarkson is a residential campus and we require students to live on campus. Therefore, housing is guaranteed to transfer students.
Do I have to live on campus?
Students who wish to make their own arrangements to live off-campus must get a housing exemption through the Office of Residence Life. Automatic exemptions are granted to married students, commuter students, students with children, and those who are 25 years of age or older. Exemptions are limited for transfer students who don't meet an automatic exemption requirement and cannot be guaranteed.
Once I am accepted, how do I sign up for my courses?
After you are offered admission to Clarkson and submit your enrollment deposit, you are automatically pre-registered for the courses listed on your credit evaluation. If you have questions or concerns about the courses we have listed, you can speak with your academic advisor.
Is an interview required?
While we do not require an interview, we strongly encourage you to visit campus. For many students, this is the most important part of the transfer process. When you visit campus, you will be able to meet one-on-one with a transfer admission representative. We can also arrange for you to meet faculty who can talk to you about the academic programs you are interested in. We try to make your visit as personalized as possible. We offer two open houses in the fall and spring. These are also great times to visit.
Do I need to pay an application fee?
The application fee for all transfer applicants is waived up front. If you are offered admission and decide to attend Clarkson, we add the $50 application fee onto your $300 enrollment deposit (for a total of $350). Students who apply online or who interview with us either on- or off-campus, will have the $50 application fee waived all together.
Who should I contact if I have any questions about transfer admission or Clarkson in general?
Contact the Office of Transfer Admission at firstname.lastname@example.com and be sure to check out our Event Schedule to see if we will be in your area during our travels.

After 3 years of searching for the perfect shop tee, there was always something we just didn't love... So, we finally decided to make our own. This is our answer to the SOP everyday lighter weight tee. The pattern is custom made for us to our specifications, and here's why we love it. At 5.5oz, it's a really nice southern California weight; it's pre-shrunk, so no need to worry about a dryer mishap; it has a slightly longer body length (for us dudes with extended-length torsos); it drapes in a flattering way with no cling through the body; and the garment dyed cotton is super soft against your skin.
While I love fancy tees, too, these are not that--they're simple, proper fitting, well-made t-shirts coming in at a great price point. Model is 5'10", 175 lbs wearing size medium
-Made of 5.5oz soft 100% pre-shrunk cotton
-Garment dyed and washed for extreme softness with a lived in look & feel
-Classic pocket tee silhouette
-Screen printed inside label
-Designed cut, sewn, and printed in Los Angeles, California
Vintage White

Mitt Romney continued his post-debate victory tour through Florida by firing up a crowd of thousands at Tradition Square in Port St. Lucie on Sunday afternoon.

Rep. Allen West spoke before Attorney General Pam Bondi introduced Romney, who began by saying, "We had a little debate this week and I enjoyed myself."
Organizers in Romney's Port St. Lucie office said 14,000 tickets were distributed, though wet weather earlier in the day and overcast skies may have kept some away.

So, how serious is the legal battle between Apple and the various Android phone makers, really? Surely, it's just logical business sense that's behind it, right? Calculated, well-planned precision strikes designed to hurt Android where simply making better, more innovative products isn't enough? Well, no, not really. We already knew Steve Jobs took this personal - now we know just how personal.

In case you're referring to that devboard picture that floats around on the web: devboards look like that, keyboard and all.
It's simply easier to debug these boxes with real keys instead of relying on a metric ton of software just to be able to enter "reboot".
I'm not saying that there wasn't such a deliberate move (no idea), but that picture is not a good proof.

text: Dear Regis Community, I am pleased to share with you an important milestone for the Regis Rising strategic planning initiative. Last Friday, the Regis University Board of Trustees held their quarterly meeting and approved key elements of the strategic plan, including: Forming a College of Computer and Information Sciences to be launched by fall of 2014. Forming a College of Business to be launched by fall of 2015. Promoting a culture of innovation. Fostering experiential learning opportunities for all University students. Expanding the development of a global learning community at Regis. Advancing our Jesuit, Catholic character in our communities. Implementing the Cultivate Health community project at Aria Denver. Creating a unified Enrollment Management area under a new vice president by the summer of 2014. Evaluating the feasibility of offering research-based (Ph.D. and/or Ed.D.) doctoral programs. As we move from the planning to the implementation phase of the strategic plan, your continued interest and engagement are critical. Together, we have envisioned an ambitious path for Regis University, one that will shape our future in the years to come. As a consequence of some of these decisions, the University has reorganized several departments and redesigned specific positions, which affected a limited number of individuals. Those individuals will be provided with resources to help manage through their transition. I thank each of them for their service to the University. The Board also approved the Fiscal Year 2015 Budget, which provides funding for the work necessary to launch the strategic plan initiatives. Implementation teams are developing plans and timelines for each of these initiatives. Regis Rising is now a reality. I am very grateful for all of your contributions and enthusiasm at a time of remarkable momentum in our institution's history. Sincerely, John P. Fitzgibbons, S.J. President

Kids Head to School Despite Sniper
Associated Press Writer
KENSINGTON, Md. (AP) _ Worried parents sent their children off to school with extra-tight hugs and others kept their youngsters home Wednesday, one day after police revealed a chilling warning from the sniper that children are not safe "anywhere, at any time."
As expected, investigators confirmed that a bus driver shot to death on Tuesday was the sniper's 13th victim in the three-week rampage. They also urged immigrants to come forward with any information without fear of deportation, and the governor raised the possibility of posting National Guardsman at Maryland polls on Election Day next month.
Ballistics and other evidence connected the slaying of Conrad Johnson, 35, to the sniper who has now killed 10 people and critically wounded three others, said Michael Bouchard of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Investigators waited three days to reveal the threat against children. The message was found after a shooting Saturday in Ashland, Va.
Bouchard sought to assure residents that vital information was not being withheld.
"We're all parents and are certainly concerned about the safety of our kids and of our co-workers," he said. He said if information is released too early, "it inhibits our ability to do the job we need to be doing."
Tensions, meanwhile, remained high. Interstate 270 was closed for about 40 minutes Wednesday afternoon in both directions near Germantown, about 10 miles north of the scene of Tuesday's shooting, following a report that two men in a white box truck pointed a gun at a school bus.
Officials urged witnesses to come forward without fear of getting in trouble because of their immigration status. On Monday, police detained two men for questioning and later turned them over to federal authorities for deportation.
"We just have concerns that some people in the immigrant community didn't come forward," Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose said. He said immigrant status is not a concern of the sniper task force.
For the first time in three days, Moose did not deliver a public message to the sniper.
Earlier this week, he implored the sniper to contact authorities and suggested they were having trouble complying with undisclosed demands.
The latest message believed to be from the killer was a letter found near the scene of Tuesday's shooting, two law enforcement sources told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The letter reportedly demands $10 million _ the same request sources say was made in Saturday's note.
Gov. Parris Glendening said the state may post National Guardsmen at polling places if the sniper is not caught by Nov. 5. "I'm hoping the person is brought to justice long before Election Day," the governor said.
But he said putting the National Guard at schools would be too disruptive.
Schools across the region reported below-average attendance Wednesday.
There was no bus service for 3,800 special education students in Washington, and other school systems curtailed student transportation. In Prince George's County, Md., attendance was about 91 percent, down from 95 percent on an average day.
And in Montgomery County, where the shootings began Oct. 2 and where Johnson was slain Tuesday, attendance dropped to 89 percent. Attendance had been running about 95 percent, even as the school district joined others in "code blue" security status _ meaning no outdoor activities or field trips.
"I'm not afraid of the sniper," said 17-year-old Heather Willson, a senior at Albert Einstein High School. "My school's fairly closed in, and we're pretty good at our code blue. I mean, I don't see any reason why he's going to change his tactics now and come inside and start shooting up students."
Schools in the Richmond, Va., area opened Wednesday for the first time this week, but attendance was lighter than usual. The Henrico County district, for example, said nearly a quarter of all students were absent.
Kim Arthur decided to walk 8-year-old son Stephen to John M. Gandy Elementary School in Ashland. "We can't keep our kids from doing what they usually do," Arthur said. "That would scare them even more."
At Rock View Elementary in Kensington, physical education teacher Terry Dorfman stood on the sidewalk, swinging his arm like a traffic cop to urge children to move quickly inside.
"Now he's starting to talk about kids, and the targets are schools," Dorfman said as he patted children on the shoulder. "And it's a teacher's job to protect the kids."

Umi is exclusively a children's footwear company. The Umi founders and product development team bring over 80 years of combined experience to the brand, including work with well-known upscale retailers and European footwear brands. All Umi products are developed according to the unique needs of the growing child's foot and are manufactured of the finest materials and to the highest standards. Umi understands and embraces the notion that style helps instill the self-assurance to smile bigger, laugh louder, and walk taller and it's evident in the shoes they create.
From their unique, quality materials to their whimsical and quirky color combinations, they create style that fulfills their core purpose: "make children, and their feet, and their moms happy". Umi looks at each season as a unique opportunity to take Umi style to a whole new level - including introduction of new outsole treatments, embellishments, and of course their signature use of specialty materials such as iridescent, printed and pebbled leathers. But style isn't the whole story.
Umi was founded on the principle that style loves comfort, therefore great looking shoes, fit and comfort do not have to be mutually exclusive. As a result, Umi shoes are handcrafted with one goal in mind: to promote healthy development of children's feet. Features such as cushy comfort insoles, flexible outsoles and breathable materials are just a few of the Umi product attributes that keep children's feet healthy, happy, and moving in the right direction. Umi likes the earth to be happy, too. That's why they follow strict European manufacturing standards and use recycled and recyclable, eco-friendly packaging.

Vietnam is becoming attractive locations for investors producing solar panels from China, Taiwan to expand production in order to meet increasing demands of the world as well as make use of the advantages of tax for exports to the two largest markets which are the US and Europe.
Vina Solar has just signed a contract with GCL-SI – China's leading solar panels manufacturer and Trina Solar Company to develop the project to produce solar energy panels with capacity of 600 MW and 1 GW at the factories in Vietnam. In particular, GCL-SI Company also announced an investment of 32 million USD together with Solar Vina in Vietnam.
According to President of GCL-SI, this investment is not only brings cost advantages but also help organizing the supply chain of the Company.
Also reported by GCL-SI Company, this is a notable move to strengthen competitiveness as well as to expand opportunities to join the US and EU markets as these two markets are having trade barriers, which are set for solar energy panels manufacturing in China and Taiwan.
Meanwhile, with an investment of 100 million USD, Trian Solar Company has recently completed construction the project producing solar energy panels with capacity of 800 MW/year in Bac Giang – the province with highest solar energy panels production scale in the country, with a total capacity of 5,200 MW/year. Moreover, Bac Giang is forming production and assembly chains of solar energy panels with 8 projects have been licensed, the total registered capital reached 635 million USD.
Under the agreement, Vina Solar will supply and assemble PV modules for Trina Solar. This is the largest project of Trina Solar in Vietnam. The project has a workshop area of 42,000 m2, with 14 modern production lines, the factory produce many kinds of single-crystal and polycrystalline batteries. The products are exported to all continents in the world.
According to the Chairman and CEO of Trina Solar, the factory in Vietnam is a result of global strategy, following the opening of the factories producing solar energy panels in Malaysia and Thailand. This cooperation will bring benefits for both parties, helping to bring solar energy panel production technology to Vietnam and create about 1,000 jobs.
In November 2016, JA Solar Corporation (China) has started construction of the 1 billion USD project to build a factory producing solar energy batteries at Quang Chau Industrial Park (Bac Giang). The project is divided into several stages, with the scale of 88 hectares of land.
According to forecasts, the demand for solar energy panels worldwide will increase after 2016, while the cost of installation and production will continue to decline. According to the report of International Renewable Energy Agency, that trend will contribute to replace fossil energy. This is the reason why many solar panels projects are warming up in Vietnam, after several major projects are bankrupt previously.

Brian Wilkie (Mary Lynn Johnson)
Submitted by rc-admin on
This notice from Mary Lynn Johnson came to our attention this morning.
I am sad to relay news of the death yesterday [December 14] of Professor Brian Wilkie of the University of Arkansas (Fayetteville), formerly of the University of Illinois, Dartmouth College, and the University of Wisconsin. Brian will be remembered by many as a thoughtful critic and as a brilliant and beloved teacher. I was lucky to be on the same faculty with him at Illinois in the 1960s, when we were both wrestling for the first time with Blake as we taught concurrent courses in the Romantics. He loved teaching and had no plans for retirement. He co-edited Literature of the Western World, 2 vols., the fifth edition of which was published in 2001 and was the author of Blake's Thel and Oothoon (English Literary Studies, 1990), Romantic Poets and Epic Tradition (Wisconsin, 1965) and co-author of Blake's 'Four Zoas': The Design of a Dream (Harvard, 1978), and numerous articles and reviews. He leaves his wife Ann and three adult sons and grandchildren.

Every now and then, you get these news item that make you feel like something's wrong. The item doesn't make sense, shouldn't be possible, and yet it is. Despite Microsoft's newfound commitment to web standards, it's still incredibly unnerving to see things like this - the W3C's first HTML5 compliance test, in which Internet Explorer 9 Platform Preview 6 outdoes all other browsers.
While the specification is not yet complete, and while the tests only cover a portion of the HTML5 specification, it's still incredibly strange to see Microsoft's Internet Explorer come out on top. Sure, it's a test release, but then, so are the other contestants in the race (except for the Safari version used in these tests).
As you can see, Internet Explorer 9 is outperforming other browsers when it comes to HTML5 standards compliance. Great news for the web, people.

Style # 210866
Hoop & Crystal Strand Earring is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 1 out of 5 by McQueen from Not my taste I purchased these online. They look too fake. I like costume jewelry for the most part but these are not my taste. I could not tell from the picture online that the dangle on the earrings hang from the front of the hoop which makes them look weird, like a wheel or something.

Americans have just voted on who will govern them for the next four years, now China is poised to usher in a new generation of leaders that will rule the world's second largest economy for the next 10 years.
China's Communist Party, which has ruled the world's most populous nation since 1949, starts its 18th National Congress on November 8 and is expected to unveil a new line-up of leaders when the gathering ends next week.
The once-in-a-decade political transition is arguably more significant than the U.S. presidential election, some observers say.
Here's why: China's emergence as an economic powerhouse means that what happens in its domestic politics has the potential to shape economic policy, which in turn has global implications.
And this transition is particularly important as it comes at a time of huge change – growing resentment at corruption and vested interests, highlighted by the Bo Xilai scandal, labor disputes that are on the rise and fears about where China is heading as the economy slows after three decades of rapid growth.
"The political transition is important not only because of China's growing presence in the world economy, but also because of the power the Chinese government has to shape its economy," said Justin Harper, Market Strategist at IG Markets in Singapore.
"Say in the U.S. or the UK, you get a change of leaders, broadly speaking that does not tend to have a big impact on the economy. That's not the case in China, where the government wields so much power a change in leadership really can have a big impact on the direction of the economy," he said.
Political observers cite another reason for the significance of China's leadership change – a level of change in its policy making body that is unprecedented.
The Communist Party sets strict age limits for its leaders and seven out of the nine current members of the all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee, the party's ruling body, are expected to step down.
Xi Jinping, currently the vice-president, and Li Keqiang, currently the vice-premier, are tipped to become China's next president and premier respectively, taking over from President Hu Jintao and Vice President Wen Jiabao.
The make-up of the rest of the standing committee is a mystery. Just two months ago, Xi went absent for two weeks, yet Beijing remained silent even as rumors about the health of China's next leader swirled, highlighting the secrecy that shrouds political leaders despite the rise of China as a dynamic, modern economy.
"China's leaders are noted for their secrecy," said Jonathan Fenby, a writer and commentator with expertise on Chinese affairs. "The world's last major state ruled by a communist party does not go in for the kind of public political contest (played) out in the United States ahead of the presidential election."
(Read More: China's New Leaders—the Line-Up)
The focus for markets is what action the new leadership will take on the economy, which is expected to grow this year at around 7.5 percent – a level that would mark the slowest annual pace in 13 years and a sharp slowdown from the double-digit growth rates China has enjoyed in recent years.
Hopes are high that once the political transition is over, Beijing will step in with stimulus measures to help growth and support Shanghai's beleaguered stock market, which has declined some 35 percent over the past three years.
Beijing has cut interest rates twice this year and stepped in recently with small economic measures such as infrastructure projects. However, it has steered clear of the massive spending unleashed four years ago to protect the economy from the global crisis. That spending, worth $586 billion or 14 percent of GDP, has been blamed for problems such as inflation and over investment in housing.
"The government has been helping growth on the monetary and fiscal side but they are not interested in an all-out stimulus plan. The policies have been the way they are because the government feels comfortable with how the economy is doing," Louis Kuijis, chief China economist at Royal Bank of Scotland in Hong Kong told CNBC.
"On the reform side, it is going to be interesting to see where the emphasis will lay," he added.
For many China watchers, it is the direction and pace of economic reforms that will be the main focus since these will determine whether or not China's economy, which has grown at an average rate of 10 percent over past 30 years, can now move onto more sustainable path.
"It's always difficult to see what China's game plan will be and interpret what the government will do," said Harper. "So that means there is some uncertainty about the direction of the economy."

S.O.S.! Frantic pace deflates charms of ABBA's musical
It's funny what you buy completely onstage and resist completely, or nearly, on-screen. Case in point: "Mamma Mia!"Â?the ABBA-fueled stage phenomenon that has now become "Mamma Mia! The Movie."
Of course I never miss a Meryl Streep musical. On-screen she sang in "Silkwood," "Ironweed," "Postcards From the Edge" and plenty in "A Prairie Home Companion." Onstage Streep put her pipes to work on Brecht and Weill's "Happy End"; years ago I heard a bootleg '70s recording of "The 1940s Radio Hour," which showcased Streep and her fellow Yale Drama School classmates on a variety of big-band standards.
Given this resume, it's really no surprise the screen doyenne can handle the ABBA tunes with aplomb. It's disappointing, then, to see the film version of the stage hit turn out this wayÂ?not lousy, but pushy. I've happily seen the stage version three times, and the way director Phyllida Lloyd finessed the corny set-ups and refused to treat the product like a blockbuster, the results were very sweet and even moving.
However assured her theatrical talent, Lloyd hasn't yet determined what sort of film director she has in her. She goes at "Mamma Mia!" like a frisky, easily distracted puppy. Slow-mo leaps in the air; pop-eyed reaction shots: Everything's in twinkle overdrive. As with most stage-to-screen transfers, about a half-hour of material has been excised, and "Mamma Mia!" never had that much story to begin with. Free spirit Donna (Streep) lives with her daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) on a Greek island, where her unbearably scenic taverna, legend has it, sits atop Aphrodite's fountain. Love is in the air and in the water.
Sophie's about to marry the unfortunately named Sky (Dominic Cooper). The bride-to-be learns her father, whom she never knew, is one of three possible candidates, all of whom Donna knew That Certain Summer 20-odd years ago. Sophie doesn't tell her mom they're coming to the wedding. The gents are played by Pierce Brosnan, who duets with Streep on "S.O.S.," "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" and "When All Is Said and Done"; Colin Firth, who handles his more modest vocal requirements rather better; and Stellan Skarsgard. Donna's comrades and former bandmates are played by Julie Walters and Christine Baranski.
The performances are more competitive than collegial, at least among the women, and StreepÂ?formidable as alwaysÂ?doesn't exactly ease into the material. It's more like a well-planned beach assault. She calms down fully at one point and one point only, during the mother/daughter wedding prep scene "Slipping Through My Fingers"; tellingly, the number's also the calmest and most purposeful in its directorial approach. The rest of the show is supposed to be frantic and manic in comparison. Yet what flowed easily and well onstage, thanks to "Dancing Queen" and various other irresistibly catchy ABBA tunes, lurches and pushes on-screen. Call it "My Big Comparatively Thin Greek Wedding," and let's hope the next Meryl Streep musical fares better, as does the next film by director Lloyd.

Interesting Things…Open ThreadPosted: January 23, 2013 Filed under: Environment, Hillary Clinton, History, open thread, Political Affective Disorder, science, SDB Evening News Reads | Tags: archaeology, celtic graves, universe, weaving earthquakes 14 Comments
Good Evening
Look at these pictures of Hilary in action, nice. I have to admit, I was looking forward to watching Hilary kick ass today…but this PAD I'm suffering from is a lot stronger than I thought. For what seems like weeks now, it's been so difficult to even browse or scan over news items that deal with anything involving politics.
So, with that in mind, here are your non-news links.
The two major earthquakes from the last decade, being in 2004 Indonesia and in 2011 Japan, were surprises to seismologist. They occurred in areas where earthquakes greater than 8.4 usually take place. Scientists underestimated potential for Tohoku earthquake: Now what?
Now earthquake scientists are going back to the proverbial drawing board and admitting that existing predictive models looking at maximum earthquake size are no longer valid.
In a new analysis published in the journal Seismological Research Letters, a team of scientists led by Oregon State University's Chris Goldfinger describes how past global estimates of earthquake potential were constrained by short historical records and even shorter instrumental records. To gain a better appreciation for earthquake potential, he says, scientists need to investigate longer paleoseismic records.
"Once you start examining the paleoseismic and geodetic records, it becomes apparent that there had been the kind of long-term plate deformation required by a giant earthquake such as the one that struck Japan in 2011," Goldfinger said. "Paleoseismic work has confirmed several likely predecessors to Tohoku, at about 1,000-year intervals."
It seems to me that study those prehistoric records would be key in predicting earthquakes of this size.
Next up, two articles on ancient archaeology.
A grave that was discovered back in 2010 is finally giving up some of it's secrets. Large Celtic Grave Excavated in Germany
Archaeologists have been painstakingly excavating the 2,600-year-old grave of a Celtic woman and child that was discovered in 2010 and removed from the ground in a large block. The burial chamber had been fitted with oak beams that were preserved by water from a nearby stream. Artifacts recovered so far from the tomb include gold and amber jewelry and objects made of bronze and jet, in addition to organic materials. "We call her a princess, but we actually know very little about the social organization of the time because we don't have any written sources," explained Nicole Ebinger-Rist, director of the project. She hopes to identify the woman as the research progresses.
Check out that link.
This next story is fascinating to me, because it deals with ancient weaving. Loom Weights Discovered in Ancient Cattle Town
Loom weights made of pottery have been uncovered in Turkey's ancient city of Assoss. "Some of them are round and some of them are cubic. People used even broken ceramic pieces in this period by making a hole in the center of them. There are seals, names, or descriptions on some of these weights. They date back to 2,500 years ago," said Nurettin Arslan of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. The weights were found near the city's theater, and may have come from a small weaver's shop.
On to something even older than this grave and weave shop, Taking the temperature of the universe. To take the universe's temp we need to go back to the beginning of time.
Astronomers using a CSIRO radio telescope have taken the Universe's temperature, and have found that it has cooled down just the way the Big Bang theory predicts.

Using the CSIRO Australia Telescope Compact Array near Narrabri, New South Wales, an international team from Sweden, France, Germany and Australia has measured how warm the Universe was when it was half its current age.
"This is the most precise measurement ever made of how the Universe has cooled down during its 13.77 billion year history," said Dr Robert Braun, Chief Scientist at CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science.
Because light takes time to travel, when we look out into space we see the Universe as it was in the past — as it was when light left the galaxies we are looking at. So to look back half-way into the Universe's history, we need to look half-way across the Universe.
Our last link is closer to Earth….pictures from ISS, International Space Station. Best photos of night-shining clouds seen from ISS
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) sometimes see what are called polar mesospheric clouds by scientists – noctilucent or night-shining clouds by the rest of us. As seen from Earth's surface, these clouds have a short season when they are most often seen: that is, late spring to early summer. They shine at full intensity over a period of no more than five to 10 days. From Earth's surface, they are only seen at high latitudes, in the Arctic or Antarctic. And they are most often seen either before sunrise or after sunset. The images below, however, are taken from space and know no such limitations. Astronauts aboard ISS see these clouds at all times of year, and sometimes far into the night. The first image is very recent, taken on January 5, 2013.
An astronaut aboard the International Space Station captured this image of noctilucent, or night-shining, clouds on January 5, 2013, when the ISS was over the Pacific Ocean south of French Polynesia. Image via NASA. View larger.
Hope you enjoy these links, and have a wonderful evening.
This is an open thread.

|If you want to know the rules, just click the picture
I crack open the book and run my hand down the page. Thecontrast of the black words on the ivory colored background fill me with asense of excitement and longing. I bring the book to my face and close my eyestaking a deep whiff.
Someday, I tellmyself, someday I will be holding my ownbook in my hands. I read a few pages and ponder on the wonder of the waywords can be strung together to create masterpieces. I close the book and holdit close to my chest for a few moments.
How many have gone before me? Millions at least. There aredays when I think about the numbers, when I get overwhelmed at the thought ofeverything I have to go through to get my book into my hands. I am determinedthat today will not be of those days.
I set the book down and walk over to my desk. Jiggling the mouse, I stare at the blank page before me. Theblinking cursor taunts, begging me to spill my thoughts and feelings on thepage. I tap at the keys, but few words come. I sigh and lean back in my chair. Maybe you're not meant to write. That littlenagging voice says in my ear.
I catch sight of the book I just read in the corner of myeye. Somehow that author did it. They worked hard enough and they havesomething to show for it. I bat awaythat nagging voice and rest my hands on the keyboard once more. I'll stay hereall night if I have to, as long as it takes for me to get over my insecuritiesand write.
Because whether I'm meant to or not, that's what authors do.

You drop your prices to 100 bucks a pop and I guarantee I'll buy more.
Why? It's less risky. Look: 90% of the stuff I buy I buy because I

for the long term b) I can persuade a faculty colleague into using such
(In a collection as large as mine, fewer and fewer requests come across

for 100 bucks--far different thing. The fewer the available bucks, the
less I'm willing to take risks. Simple as that.

What Works: A Manual for Designing Programs that Build Resilience
Download at no charge an online copy of Dr. Michael Ungar's newest resilience publication What Works: A Manual for Designing Programs that Build Resilience. Hard copies are also available.
RYSE Project
The Resilience Youth in Stressed Environments (RYSE) Project website has now launched!
Oil and gas production and climate change have large impacts on social, economic and environmental systems that affect young people's mental health and overall wellbeing. To better understand these complex relationships at both ends of the carbon cycle (production and consumption), the five-year multinational CIHR funded Resilient Youth in Stressed Environments (RYSE) research project will study the resilience of young people in Canada and South Africa. Visit the website now:
What is Resilience?
Most commonly, the term resilience has come to mean an individual's ability to overcome adversity and continue his or her normal development. However, the RRC uses a more ecological and culturally sensitive definition. Dr. Michael Ungar, Co-Director of the RRC, has suggested that resilience is better understood as follows:
"In the context of exposure to significant adversity, resilience is both the capacity of individuals to navigate their way to the psychological, social, cultural, and physical resources that sustain their well-being, and their capacity individually and collectively to negotiate for these resources to be provided in culturally meaningful ways." (See also Ungar, 2008 and Ungar, 2011)
Check out the Child and Youth Refugee Research Coalition
The Child & Youth Refugee Research Coalition is a coalition started by the Resilience Research Centre's Dr. Michael Ungar to connect scholars, community partners and government agencies committed to promoting the successful integration of refugee children, youth and their families. While the Coalition was formed to contribute meaningfully to policies and interventions to facilitate the integration of recently arrived Syrian refugees to Canada, it has a much larger goal of helping all young refugees succeed, both in Canada and around the world.
2017: Pathways to Resilience IV (South Africa)
Thank you to all who attended #PTRIV! We welcomed over 400 guests and 300 presenters from 54 countries to Cape Town to participate in our events. Your voices were integral to furthering the conversation around resilience.
The RRC Evaluation Tool Basket
The RRC has developed an easy to use Evaluation Tool Basket which is designed to help programs and organizations complete their own internal evaluation. The tools are written in plain-language and there are numerous tools included so that each program or organization can choose which ones are relevant to them. The RRC is also available for consultation.
