Stressing the Web, ‘NewsHour’ Begins an Overhaul - NYTimes.com → nytimes.com

For the moment, Mr. Lehrer, who reluctantly gave up his manual typewriter when the show moved to computers, is drawing the line at one digital update. Asked if he planned to use Twitter, he exclaimed, “Are you crazy?” Then he relented, adding, “I will never say no.”

“If you put these people on the show — if “create security incident at White House” leads to “next on Real Housewives — then you become responsible. Not just for this, but for the next person, too. If the furor over the Salahis’ escapade helps get them on The Real Housewives Of D.C., then here’s the takeaway for your target reality-show wannabes: “Anything you do, even if it leads to possible criminal charges, is considered a plus for your participation if it receives attention.” —Dear Bravo: About Those Party-Crashers - Monkey See Blog : NPR

“Last Christmas,” The Swingle Singers [eMusic]. Because the world needs more versions of this Wham! classic. (/sarcasm)

Winter Song Sara Bareilles And Ingrid Michaelson

I can listen to this one on constant repeat; I just love the harmonies. via cheia:

Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson - Winter Song


This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon,
it rolls in from the sea
My voice; a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light,
to carry you to me.

The great thing about this song is that it’s kinda christmassy, but you can already listen to it without feeling the slightest bit guilty.

“There are a bunch of people in Chinese civil society who have enough courage to talk with Obama about the human rights issue in China,” Jiang said. “But Obama is not decisive enough or doesn’t have enough willpower to talk with the civil society.”

Despite his mention of “universal rights,” Obama, in the view of rights activists, “didn’t strike as hard of a tone on human rights as some of us had hoped for,” said Sam Zarifi, the Asia-Pacific director for the London-based group Amnesty International. “It’s tough to wag your finger about human rights when your hand is stretched out for more money.”

Sewers at Capacity, Pollution Spills Into Waterways - Series - NYTimes.com → nytimes.com

ewwww

As cities have grown rapidly across the nation, many have neglected infrastructure projects and paved over green spaces that once absorbed rainwater. That has contributed to sewage backups into more than 400,000 basements and spills into thousands of streets, according to data collected by state and federal officials. Sometimes, waste has overflowed just upstream from drinking water intake points or near public beaches. There is no national record-keeping of how many illnesses are caused by sewage spills. But academic research suggests that as many as 20 million people each year become ill from drinking water containing bacteria and other pathogens that are often spread by untreated waste.

“Kenya’s Chalbi Desert is a bleak, forbidding stretch of coarse sand and ash-gray ridges broken by clusters of tiny huts. It is also one of the windiest places on Earth, experts say, and it soon will be the site of Africa’s largest wind farm… When completed in 2012, the wind farm is expected to boost the power supply in this nation by almost 30 percent.” —Africa’s largest wind farm set to emerge from Kenyan desert - washingtonpost.com

The Smart Set: You Can Do It - November 21, 2009  → thesmartset.com

Earlier this fall, a little shockwave of terror zipped through the foodie Web: We were facing a canned pumpkin shortage. Local news stations ran stories explaining how poor weather conditions the previous year had led to smaller crops. Bloggers followed up with jokey posts about hoarding. Commenters on Serious Eats replied to the news with statements like, “I had to go to 3 stores before I found pumpkin last week. I bought 4 cans, but now I’m going back to buy 4 more!” and “Oh no I love pumpkin pie…im gonna have to go stock up before all the other pumpkin pie fiends find out.” But only one commenter said what I would’ve thought to be obvious and will paraphrase as follows: “Dudes, just a cook a pumpkin.”
