The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's basketball team will head to North Carolina for two games, trying to keep its undefeated Southern Conference record intact.
The Lady Mocs, 9-2 overall and 2-0 in league action, will travel to Greensboro, N.
SCOUTING CHATTANOOGA Head Coach: Wes Moore (Tennessee, 1986) UTC 338-111/15th year • Career: 538-167/24th year 2012-13 Overall: 9-2 • 2012-13 SoCon: 2-0
The Lady Mocs started the New Year with a 66-57 come-from-behind road win at UAB. Junior Ashlen Dewart (Spartanburg, S.C.) posted her second double-double of the year with 23 points and matching her season-high with 12 rebounds. Freshman Tatianna Jackson (Atlanta, Ga.) was 9-of-11 from the free throw line and was one point shy of her career-high with 11 points, while posting a career mark with six rebounds. Despite getting into foul trouble, senior Kylie Lambert (Etowah, Tenn.) scored 10 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Sophomore Ka'Vonne Towns (Lilburn, Ga.) was 2-of-2 from the 3-point line for eight points and a team-high three steals.
Chattanooga averages 71 points and outscores its opponents by more than 14 points per game. With back-to-back sluggish offensive outputs against Jacksonville State and Auburn, the Lady Mocs have a field goal percentage of 41.0 and are shooting 30 percent from beyond the arc. Chattanooga's top offensive output this season was a 33-of-59 (55.9%) performance against Furman at the Roundhouse. Twice this season, the Lady Mocs have hit double-figures from the 3-point line with a season-best 13 against Saint Mary's (CA) and 11 against East Tennessee State. On the boards, Chattanooga is outrebounding opponents by more than three per game, pulling down 41.9 an outing.
Dewart leads the Lady Mocs in scoring with 16.1 ppg and is fourth in the SoCon. She is ninth in the league in rebounding with 6.6 per game. She was named the league's Player of the Month for December averaging 18.8 points per game and 7.3 rebounds during the month, leading Chattanooga to a 3-1 record that included a SoCon win over Furman and non-conference victories against Jacksonville State and Alabama.
Senior Kayla Christopher (Oliver Springs, Tenn.) is second on the team in scoring with 11.8 points per game and is third in the league for 3-pointers made with 24 on the year. Junior Taylor Hall (New Tazewell, Tenn.) is third on the team in scoring with 9.6 points per game and second for rebounding with 6.5 an outing.
SCOUTING UNCG Head Coach: Wendy Palmer (Virginia, 1992) UNCG 7-33/2nd year • Career: same 2012-13 Overall: 3-8 • 2012-13 SoCon: 0-2
The Spartans are 3-8 on the year and 0-2 in Southern Conference action. After dropping its first two games of the season, UNCG rebounded with a home-court win over Gardner-Webb then dropped the next four including SoCon losses to Western Carolina on the road and College of Charleston at home. In their final two outings, the Spartans fell at home to Florida State in front of a crowd of nearly 3,500 and on the road at UAB.
UNCG is averaging 59.2 points per game, 11.3 less than its opponents while lagging behind foes by 6.7 rebounds per game with 38.7 an outing. The Spartans are shooting 34.8 percent from the field and 27.9 percent from beyond the arc. UNCG forces 22.5 turnovers per game and average 12.2 steals per game.
Lucy Mason is the lone Spartan averaging double figures with 15.9 points per game, pulls in 4.3 rebounds per game and has a team-best 27 assist and 22 steals while leading the team with 19 3-pointers. Janae' Stevenson is averaging 9.6 points and a team-high 5.8 rebounds per game.
Larry Ward, the "Voice of the Lady Mocs", will have the call live on ESPN 105.1 FM. The game tips at 2 p.m. Eastern Time. Live stats and streaming video will be available on the schedule page or the GameDay Central article on GoMocs.com.

Mixed Media Greeting Card
Janet Taylor Pickett shows us how she crafts her own mixed-media greeting card.
Thanks to Janet Taylor Pickett from Montclair, N.J. for this project.
Materials and Tools:
ready-made image
card stock
paper towel
rubber stamp
handmade mango leaf paper
gold thread
sewing machine (optional)
soft semi-gloss acrylic gel medium
paint brush
1. Cut or tear image so there is an interesting decorative edge. Glue image on to card stock. Make sure that the glue evenly coats the paper image. Press a paper towel on the paper image to make sure that all air bubbles from the glue are gone. Let dry for a few minutes.
2. Stamp underneath the image.
3. Tear strips of the handmade mango leaf paper for both sides, top and bottom. Try not to make perfect edges. The tear makes another artistic visual statement. Glue down. With this paper, you'll notice that just a bit of glue is needed because the paper is thin and the glue seeps through the paper. Let dry for a few minutes.
4. Take a look at your design and see if it needs a bit of tweaking here or there.
5. Stitch around the edge of the glued image with gold thread using a zigzag stitch or any interesting stitch your machine has to offer. Then stitch around the green mango leaf paper in another stitch if you wish. This different stitch just adds a bit of visual interest.
6. Brush a thin wash of watercolor over the center design inside the stitching. Let dry completely.
7. Lightly brush the soft semi-gloss acrylic gel medium over the design in order to seal it. This gives the card a finished look.

SpecOps Communications Names Jonathan Zaback To The Post Of Chief Communications Officer (CCO)
NEW YORK, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SpecOps Communications, a full-service strategic communications agency based on the crossroad of big ideas and execution, announced today that Jonathan Zaback has joined the firm as Chief Communications Officer (CCO). The agency, founded by Adam Handelsman in 2012, is built on a special operations philosophy; elite teams of communications experts should not be bound by the confines of a big-firm mentality. Freethinking, creativity, self-motivation and cost-efficiency are assets, not detriments. The firm provides a wide range of strategic communications and content creation services based in the convergent media relations space.
Adam Handelsman, president and founder of SpecOps Communications, states, "I have known Jonathan both professional and personally for many years and there are very few media pros wired in like he is. It's great to service to our clients and staff to have a hands-on expert of his caliber on the team."
"When Adam shared his dream of SpecOps Communications and what he sought to create, I was sold. I had never seen a business model so geared to client service and results. It is amazing to see how fast a dream has turned into a reality," says Jonathan Zaback.
Zaback adds, "The focus here is an aggressive blend of traditional, digital, and social media results for our clients – period. When people select a public relations firm, they should not be paying for a team that spends a large portion of the day juggles process, paperwork and time-sheets. When clients choose SpecOps, they get a firm that believes in results over process and real access to the media and influencers. It's refreshing to be free to finally spoil clients with results, not bills."
Handelsman adds, "I'm looking forward to working with Jonathan and empowering the firm's clients with even greater access, counsel, and a lack of unneeded process, so that we can all roll up our sleeves and get down to the only thing that truly matters... delivering results."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The worldwide Ethernet switch market (Layer 2/3) reached $5.36 billion in the third quarter of 2012 (3Q12), representing a 4.4% year-over-year decline compared to the very strong 3Q11. Meanwhile, the worldwide router market declined 0.2% year over year in 3Q12, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Ethernet Switch and Router Tracker.
The 3Q12 results also show that the Ethernet switch market increased in the mid to high single digit range, year over year, in Latin America, Japan, Central & Eastern Europe, and Middle East & Africa (MEA). On the other hand, Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) was down overall with the market declining 3.5% year over year, whereas the U.S. declined 6.4% and Western Europe decreased more significantly just over 10% year over year in 3Q12.
"The surprising decline in the Ethernet switch market after several quarters of positive growth is a result of several factors, but the highlight was that the slower growth in the 10GbE core segment of the market could not completely offset the decline in the network edge/access segment," said Rohit Mehra, vice president, Network Infrastructure at IDC. "10GbE along with the emerging 40GbE Ethernet switch segments are the ones to watch as growth in virtualized applications and converged infrastructure will continue to drive the need for advanced networks in datacenter buildouts."
10GbE switch (Layer 2/3) revenue increased 10.7% year over year while 10GbE port shipments grew a remarkable 61.4% year over year to just under 3.5 million ports in 3Q12, and continue to be the main driver of the overall Ethernet switch market.
The Layer 4-7 switching market worldwide grew at 6.9% year over year to reach $414.9 million in 3Q12.
The worldwide Router market was essentially staying flat in 3Q12, declining 0.2% year over year. Regionally, the market saw a very strong 21.5% growth in Middle East & Africa and solid mid to high single digit increases were experienced in Asia/Pacific (including Japan) and the U.S. On the other hand, Central & Eastern Europe was down 8.7% year over year, Latin America declined 12.2% year over year, and Western Europe dropped a very significant 20.8% year over year in 3Q12.
From a vendor perspective, Cisco's Ethernet switch (Layer 2/3) market share in 3Q12 came in at 62.2%, reflecting a year-over-year decrease from 65.6% in 3Q11. Cisco's market share in the fast growing 10GbE market segment stands at 68.5% in 3Q12.
A graphic showing the 3Q12 market shares of the top 5 vendors in the worldwide Layer 2/3 Ethernet switch market is available at IDC.com. The chart is intended for public use in online news articles and social media. Instructions on how to embed this graphic can be found by viewing this press release on IDC.com.
"While on the one hand the overall market suffered from increased macroeconomic uncertainty and weakness in the public sector in many regions, the year-over-year comparisons were harder this time around because of the stronger performance of the market in the same period last year," said Petr Jirovský, senior research analyst in IDC's Networking Trackers Group. "That said, the overall market drivers, such as proliferation of video traffic on the network, and the need to support mobility and BYOD at the network edge will continue to keep the enterprise networking market relevant over the longer term."
The IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Ethernet Switch and Router Tracker provides total market size and vendor shares for the Ethernet switch and router technologies in an easy-to-use Excel pivot table format. The geographic coverage for both the Ethernet switch market and the router market includes eight major regions (USA, Canada, Latin America, Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan), Japan, Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, and Middle East and Africa) and 58 countries. The Ethernet switch market is further segmented by speed (100Mb, 1000Mb, 10Gb, 40Gb), form factor (fixed managed, fixed unmanaged, modular), and layer (L2, L3, L4-7). Measurement for the Ethernet switch market is provided in factory revenue, customer revenue, and port shipments. The router market is further split by product class (high-end, mid-range, low-end, SOHO) and deployment (service provider, enterprise) and the measurements are in factory revenue, customer revenue, and unit shipments.

By Elizabeth White The Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate.
The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads.
Yet many barriers remain until we can fully realize the opportunities and benefits from the convergence of machines and devices with Big Data and the cloud, including interoperability, data security and privacy. Jan. 26, 2015 07:45 PM EST Reads: 3,888 |
By Liz McMillan IoT is still a vague buzzword for many people.

By Elizabeth White The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly in the process of breaking from its heretofore relatively obscure enterprise applications (such as plant floor control and supply chain management) and going mainstream into the consumer space.

We are seeing a lot of excitement around applications in home automation, personal fitness, and in-car entertainment and this excitement will bleed into other areas. On the commercial side, m...

It was unbearable, especially once you saw him. I want to stop thinking a out it as it was so distressing, but it is stuck in my head.
The last scene was just plain annoying and now we have to wait until next season. She is a shocker with her male followers. #3Posted 10 August 2012 - 01:11 AM
I was a mess once I saw the baby. Thank goodness DH was asleep or I'd never hear the end of it He thinks I get far too emotional about TV shows
#4Posted 10 August 2012 - 08:10 AM
I woke my DD#3, who heard me crying and thought something had happened.. never been affected by an episode like that before, especially when you saw the baby.
Am actually glad my bub woke up for a feed so I could give her a hug. #5Posted 10 August 2012 - 03:44 PM
I recorded it and just finished watching it now. Such a heartwrenching episode......
I love how Charlotte has changed over the seasons......she is one of my favourites now. How long do we have to wait for the next season? #6Posted 10 August 2012 - 03:52 PM
I think I'm going to have to stop watching it.
#7Posted 10 August 2012 - 03:54 PM
Oh no... I haven't watched it yet. This show has had me crying ways too many times this year.
#8Posted 10 August 2012 - 04:07 PM
I recorded and watched it today, straight after Grey's. Between the two shows, I went through so many tissues.
#9Posted 11 August 2012 - 11:55 AM
Sobbed. so heartbreaking
#10Posted 11 August 2012 - 04:28 PM
I actually didn't cry, in either show. I must be hardening up.
#11Posted 11 August 2012 - 04:41 PM
Oh no I missed it - must have been watching the Olympics.
Tell me what happened? Did Charlotte have the baby? #12Posted 11 August 2012 - 07:35 PM
I know, killer, right? I haven't sobbed so hard since I saw that ridiculously devastating movie that had Bjork in it (can't remember the name right now). What a powerful final episode - they sure do know how to yank on those heart-strings.
sunnygal - it was Amelia that had her baby. Not sure whether I'm allowed to post what happened - is it a spoiler if it's already aired in Australia? Edited by Kimberley M, 11 August 2012 - 07:35 PM. #13Posted 11 August 2012 - 07:53 PM

Tears shed here as well. In Grey's and PP. I agree with nellista about Charlotte too.
It will be interesting to see how Amelia copes now. It will be a hard road for her I'm sure. Lorraine #17Posted 17 August 2012 - 11:58 PM
I'm hanging out for the next season of Greys and Private Practise. I haven't deleted them yet as will probably watch again when I don't have interruptions from little people. It's so hard to watch in 10min intervals but I was desperate to find out what happened in both shows. Bring on the next season

Yeah Pete is gone and Addison is leaving at the end of Season 6 - which is only 13 episodes so sounds to me like it will be the end of the show all together.

Anyone else counting down the hours till the new Ep is available?

I'm looking forward to the new season. It has become a sleep fest but I still love it. I'm watching the re runs on Foxtel, the really old episodes. eg. Violet just hooked up with Pete for the first time and Dell is trying to start up an adoption centre.

Growing old in the arts
By Philip French, The Observer's film critic
As presented by Jaques in As You Like It, Shakespeare's seven ages of man are a malcontent's view of the absurdity of growing up and getting old, and since the early 20th century, after 70 years of photography, a good many people have had family albums containing an exact visual account of their seven ages, from mewling and puking infant to the onset of second childishness. But photographs give us only the surface. It is to the arts we turn to experience and understand the experience of ageing.
Rembrandt's interrogative portraits of himself in old age (he was actually around 61, but old age isn't what it used to be) and Lucien Freud's painting of his elderly mother penetrate our minds, talking to us of wise acceptance, in contrast to a memento mori on the desk which speaks blankly of death. Seeing the Rolling Stones in Scorsese's new concert movie Shine a Light, ravished by time but still defiantly battering out the old numbers, is simultaneously to think of Dylan Thomas's injunction to 'rage, rage against the dying of the light', to consider the current cliché that 65 is the new 45, and to ask why so many people today have rejected the idea of growing old gracefully.
For the old, to read LP Hartley's The Go-Between or see the Losey-Pinter film version is to revisit the wonders and pains of childhood. For the young to see Krapp's Last Tape, King Lear or, more benignly, Falstaff's reunion with Justice Shallow in Henry IV Part II, is to anticipate the life that will eventually be theirs. Seeing John Wayne's films from Stagecoach, which made him a star in 1939, to his 1976 swansong The Shootist, is for his contemporaries to retrace their own imaginary lives and for the next generation to experience ageing vicariously.
What are the great accounts of ageing? Lear, of course, but he was intermittently mad, and the victim of appalling calamities. Nearer to my own experiences are two major works of 1958. The first is Wild Strawberries, in which the great Swedish filmmaker of the sound era, Ingmar Bergman, directs the greatest filmmaker of the silent period, the 78-year-old Victor Sjöström, who plays the elderly Dr Borg, revisiting his past as he travels across country to receive an honorary degree. The other is Giuseppe di Lampedusa's novel The Leopard, completed just before his death at 61 (and the only great novel turned into a great film), where the ageing 19th-century Sicilian Prince Salina contemplates his life and changing times. These are works about what it is like to be old, sane and capable of emotional development. They offer an enlarging experience to the young and affirmative consolation to their grandparents.
The economy and the grey pound
by Heather Stewart, The Observer's economics editor
Today's 65-ers, who grew up in the post-war years and can recall the days of rationing, have never had it so good. Many have been big winners from the housing boom, which has transferred resources from cash-strapped first-time buyers to long-time homeowners. They may also have benefited from generous final-salary pension schemes from their employers, largely phased out for today's workers. At the same time, pensioners make up a rising proportion of the population, underlining their growing economic power. Here are some facts that bear all this out...
· Shoppers aged 65-74 splashed out an average of £4,379 each last year, according to research group Verdict, which predicted that spending among this age group would increase to £6,055 by 2017, with much of it concentrated on fashion, beauty and electrical goods - areas traditionally dominated by much younger buyers.
· Over-50s brand Saga, once best known for offering gentle coach holidays, now sells everything from savings products to glamorous breaks in the Caribbean, to its increasingly wealthy clientele. The company was joined with motoring organisation the AA last summer in an audacious £6bn merger, underlining the City's confidence in the rapidly expanding pensioner market.
· Businesses are scrambling to cater to the 'grey pound'. Senioragency, a marketing firm specialising in targeting older consumers, claims that the purchasing power of over-60s has increased by seven times in the past two decades, faster than salaries or prices.
· Other firms are shifting their strategy to appeal to older consumers; Dove ran a campaign using the slogan 'beauty has no age limit'; and Marks & Spencer has used Twiggy, who will turn 60 next year, to drive its high-street renaissance.
· Increasing longevity also has a heavy cost, however: for example, health think-tank the King's Fund recently predicted that we will have to more than double spending on caring for people with dementia, to £47bn a year, by 2026.
How the body changes
by Dr Luisa Dillner of the British Medical Journal publishing group
Face and hair
Skin is less elastic, and at 30 crow's feet can appear. Skin spots due to melanin deposits appear at 30-plus. The skin is less tight, fat underneath is reduced, muscles get smaller, so skin starts sagging. Hair loses its pigment and is grey for most people by 50, often in their thirties.
Heart and blood
Arteries narrow and get stiffer between 20 and 80. The lining of major arteries get two to three times as thick, making it harder for blood to flow through them. Blood pressure increases in the over-50s because vessels are stiffer and there's more resistance to blood being pumped round the body. The heart gets less efficient at pumping; it's a muscle, after all, and it gets less elastic with age. A proportion of its cells die and aren't replaced, the heart valves get calcium deposits and can stiffen. At 85 it can beat only a fifth as fast as a 20-year-old's.
Our capacity to take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide starts getting worse around the age of 20. But by 70 the surface area in the lungs that can do this job is reduced by only 15 per cent. The muscles in between the ribs gradually become weaker, and the amount of air you can breathe out as quickly as possible in one second falls by 8-10 per cent each decade.
Strangely, the kidneys grow from 50g to 250g in the first 50 years of life. They then get smaller again as their central tissue shrivels up. Cells that sieve fluid and waste products get less efficient, so the amount of filtering drops by 1ml/min after 40. So we get less good at taking back some of the good stuff (salts we might need) and getting rid of what we don't need.
Digestive system
The nervous system and the muscles it controls become less co-ordinated. So simple things like swallowing and propelling food along can be a struggle over 40, with resulting heartburn and constipation.
The menopause, at around 50, means women's oestrogen levels drop, so
they lose some of their bone density as well as their protection from heart attacks. They gain a dry vagina and urinary tract, and they lose libido. Men lose testosterone, bone mass and muscle bulk. They also experience some loss of libido.
Pupils get smaller so it's hard to adjust to dark or light rooms - a 60-year-old
gets 33 per cent as much light as a 20-year-old.
Reasoning, problem solving and memory are generally fine, although information-processing is slower as messages take longer to travel between nerve cells. There may be problems turning short-term memory into secondary memory for later retrieval. You can keep the brain active with puzzles and computer games - but a quarter of your brain cortex may be lost if you have dementia.

If 2nd interim successful stop price could go up 5 times . Top speculative pick
Ebola trial resumes
Check CEMP this AM
NLNK is my favorite but also like ACAD ,KITE,CEMP,SRPT, & more
2nd interim due first qtr. Risk / Reward / trial.not stopped $20 to $30 / trial stopped $100 to $200 . My guess we move higher new high as we anticipate 2nd Interim release . Shorts playing bad odds 20 ,30 win vrs 60 , 150 losses waiting for outcome.JMHO
You are correct re what it says at ClinicalTrials.gov but at the most recent presentations Dr. Link stated that the IDO breast C trials was not fully enrolled and it would be until third Qtr 2015 so results wouldn't be available till yr end 2015
Risk Rewards , What the company said regarding the second Interim and how do we intrepid it. They said at the recent conferences that there is " A Significant Chance that the trial will be stopped " now if your a glass half empty guy that's probably 50% or less and if your a glass half full guy probably 50% or more. I fall into the optimistic category . Regarding Risk Reward a stop is IMHO is a double to a guadruple and no stop - 25% . Not very good odds for shorts!!!!
Raises PT to $55 from $51
Damian You're A moron NewLink has drifted down because of Ebola / look at Tkmr same story Period .

Central Ohio County Sees Decrease In Toxic Emissions
Federal data says toxic emissions are declining in central Ohio.
An energy company has announced a new system for treating wastewater from gas wells in eastern Ohio, where a natural gas boom is underway.
Chesapeake Energy Corp. says that by recycling the wastewater it can dramatically reduce the amount of brine going into Ohio injection wells for disposal.
The Oklahoma-based company also says recycling the water would reduce the amount of fresh water needed for subsequent drilling.
The system can reportedly handle 250 to 300 42-gallon barrels of wastewater an hour.
The water recovery system, operated by Pennsylvania company Rettew Flowback Inc. for Chesapeake, is the first of its kind in Ohio.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION RUINING PALATES SINCE 2002 In June 2012, we celebrated the 10th birthday of our notoriously mega-hopped double IPA, Stone Ruination IPA, with the release of a very special version that was even bigger and, incredibly, even hoppier than the original. If Stone Ruination IPA is A Liquid Poem to the Glory of the Hop, then Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA was an amped-up heavy metal version of that ode delivered with the force of a sledgehammer. Luckily for us, our fans love loud and aggressive brews, specifically when copious amounts of humulus lupulus are involved. The original release of this beer was so instantly beloved by those who dared try it

Not sure if this might help?
I had a (supposed) Vundo 'H' trojan/virus (2nd link, which I haven't used, so take caution), which wasn't apparently causing to much harm, but became an annoyance and took quite a deal of effort to remove it.
You could try SuperAntiSpyware from http://www.majorgeeks.com or http://www.filehippo.com websites?.

I had a friend that had this trojan and McAfee could see it but could not seemingly do anything about it. Emsis Antimalware was installed and removed it completely. Why quarantine it, why not delete it completely?

Plus I forgot to say that he had this trojan on a memory stick that was not in evidence initially and the friend was putting this memory stick back in and thereby reactivating the trojan.

Children's World, by Catriona Kelly
The kindly side of Uncle Joe
Stalin was no slouch at PR. But his greatest success in this department was probably the pictures showing him grinning benevolently as he hugged a series of thrilled little girls and graciously accepted the bunches of flowers they offered. These photos of the Soviet ruler with child acolytes were published repeatedly from the mid-1930s onwards as the cult of personality (and the Terror) reached a peak. They were illustrations of Stalin's broader message – that he, and the Soviet state he embodied, was the ultimate arbiter of every citizen's happiness. Like a stern parent, he could mete out punishment. But he would reward the good and innocent.
As Catriona Kelly argues in Children's World: Growing up in Russia 1890-1991, the propaganda only worked because the Soviet state did genuinely make great efforts to improve the lot of children – and could, by extension, be presumed to be doing something equally well-meaning in its treatment of adults. Living conditions for children improved dramatically between 1917 and the late 1980s, in spite of the horrors brought by war, famine, forced migrations and the disappearance of parents, friends and teachers in Stalin's political terror.
The state took responsibility for schooling and health, so that by mid-century almost all children had at least basic education. Large numbers of institutions catered for abandoned children and those whose parents could not give them enough care. The Soviet system also made remarkable achievements in more sophisticated areas: allowing children access to the arts and sports.
There was plenty of cruelty in the 70-year Soviet experiment. But the notion that the state would do its utmost to provide the young with a happy childhood was seen as a key proof of the Soviet Union's status as a progressive society. The regime's humane treatment of children did more than anything else to popularise the Soviet order among sceptical intellectuals, as well as peasants and proletarians.
Even today, cared-for children are still turned out in extraordinarily stylised and hard-to-care-for uniforms. Little girls wear spotless white aprons and woolly tights bagging around the ankles. Their long blond plaits are decorated with huge bows. They are visibly the product of a culture that has long idealised, or sentimentalised, childhood.
Half a century after Stalin's death, the aspect of the passing of the Soviet state that Russians most genuinely mourn is the fading of this long-established reverence for childhood. The new Russian state has cut back on social programmes. Rising prices have made it hard for most people to afford the camp holidays and violin, or English or gymnastics, training for their children that were once available without cost.
Even if all Soviet children didn't, in reality, have the opportunity to live the myth, and even if the Soviet system collapsed, at least in part, because its own citizens began to question the value of having so much run by the state, nostalgia at this loss was inevitable. As one of Kelly's interviewees remarked, "Maybe the only good thing in the Soviet Union was the sense of a safe, secure childhood."
Kelly's huge and compelling panorama of the experience of children in the world ruled by Moscow draws on an impressive range of literary, political and oral-history material. It delves into everything from Tsarist-era peasant birthing habits and developments in potty training to the politics of writing books for children and modern teenagers' attitudes to shopping. Yet Kelly's spare, sardonic style, and her fair-mindedness, distil an apparently diffuse subject into an admirably clear analysis of the development of Soviet thinking.
The crisp policy history of the book's first section spells out the failings of Tsarist policy (too authoritarian, yet it left too much social policy in the hands of voluntary organisations, who were nonetheless treated with suspicion by the state) before dealing with the Bolsheviks' enthusiasm for noisy child activists who looked to the state, rather than their parents, for leadership, and with Stalin's U-turn back to favouring more docile child - and adult - citizens. Two subsequent sections deal in fascinating detail with the treatment of orphans and of "family children" – a categorisation that in itself suggests an adult society in crisis.
Unfailingly even-handed, Kelly doesn't shy away from describing the many horrors of the long 20th century in Russia, or from setting Russian experiences in their international context. Child-care practices which might seem cruel now were often regarded, at the time, as normal in other countries too.
She is gentle with the many who chose to believe that young Soviet citizens were supremely happy in childhood, despite all the obvious hardships. "One might," she writes, "move from seeing the idea of a 'fairy-tale childhood' as inevitably associated with false consciousness, and view it, rather, as a possible source of strength and survival in adults enduring pervasive wretchedness that they are not empowered to change." No less encouragingly, Kelly's examples leave the reader with the reassuring possibility that, however apparently crushing a system, with just a scrap of individual love a child may yet grow up all right.

China's top banking regulator diagnoses the system
Updated: 2013-08-05 10:33
China's banking sector suffered a credit squeeze, late June, borrowing costs surged to record highs. Not surprisingly, both banks and borrowers have showed serious concerns about the stability of the system. CCTV talks with Shang Fulin, chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, about those concerns.
China's key banks ranked high in Fortune's list this year. But most interbank borrowing operators won't forget tight liquidity conditions at the end of June. Under these circumstances, a question is rising: how is China's banking sector now?
"On the whole, I think the banking system is healthy. Several key indicators, such as lending and deposit growth, capital ratio and bad asset ratio, are almost the same from a year ago. Some are even performing better. Compared with the top 1000 banks in the world, our indicators are higher, which means better." Shang Fulin said.
Official data backed the comments. In the first half of 2013, Chinese banks' net profit was about 753 billion yuan, or $123 billion, which increased nearly 14 percent year on year. Meanwhile, the bad asset ratio was less then one percent, much lower than the global average level.
But the CBRC also notes the risks, especially in the local financing and property loans.
"Generally, the risks are under control. The local financing is better than general ones. It has long duration and lower bad loan ratio. Besides, most of our local financing are invested in manufacturing projects. The growth rate of property loan is lower than general loan's. Individual loans count around 60 percent of the total, which basically is safe." Shang Fulin said.
Shang also mentioned the risk of the so-called "shadow banks" in China. He said the "shadow-bank" products will bring some risks to the system, but the impact won't be big because the products' proportion is small.
Shang said that China will boost loans through innovation and guide banking loans, running to crucial sectors and industries, as well as to micro-and-small firms.
