Cyber-Celebrity Culture is Warping Chinese Youth The recent online debut of a new girl band, who calls themselves "Sunshine", has made waves on the interwebs. These teens, with their "unattractive" and "fat" appearance and laughably bad singing skills, induce ferocious criticism, but at the same time, thrive on it. This, of course, is not the first time that ugly, untalented wannabe celebrities have made headlines in China. Back in 2006, Furong Jiejie ("Sister Lotus"), a 20-something woman in Beijing, posted her narcissistic pictures of plump figure, plain face and inelegant dance moves. Those won her a nationwide following as well as paid appearances on television. Surely enough, after Sister Lotus started appearing on prime-time television, a whole slew of copycat "ugly" girls also started blogging about themselves. And following Sunshine's explosion on social media, numerous new bands like "Power Girls" "Love-wings" and "Superstar" starring average-looking adolescent girls started popping up on people's mobiles. Some people think that this kind of grass roots self-promotion is fantastic for Chinese youth who may not otherwise have any opportunities or privileges to get them ahead in China's competitive society, but for those middle-class kids who come from good backgrounds and receive excellent educations, there is a rising concern among parents that social networking is distracting these kids from academics. What's worse, they also fear that the narcissistic addictions of the students to social media will interfere with learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with absolutely no other recourse once their online followers forget about them.

Sprint Corp. launched a pay e-mail service with Yahoo Inc. for its mobile phone customers, as the companies look to tap into the rapidly growing wireless data-service market. Starting Wednesday, Sprint users with select handsets will be able to download a program that greatly speeds up the delivery of Yahoo e-mails through a more user-friendly interface. It will also allow the storage of e-mails onto the phone, so users won't have to constantly go online to review old messages. Both Sprint and Yahoo are banking that consumers will pay the additional $2. 99 a month for the new features. The move by Sprint, which is based in Overland Park, Kan. to offer a premium version of an already-free service is consistent with industry comments regarding the explosive growth of the wireless data business. During an investor conference Tuesday, Verizon Communications Chief Financial Officer Doreen Toben touted the market opportunities for Verizon's high-speed wireless data network. "Once again, this adds another brick to the building that people keep discussing that's rising around the world of voice, " John Styers, director of communication services at Sprint, said about data services. While all the attention is focused on streaming video and music and unique ringtones, there is also interest in the enhancement of basic services such as messaging. "It's less sexy, but highly useful, " Styers said, adding he believes it will be broadly adopted. For Yahoo, of Sunnyvale, Calif. , this allows the Web portal to expand its presence beyond the computer and into the cellphone. While its email service is available to all US carriers for free, the company is able to better cement its brand with a downloadable interface that resembles the version seen on the computer. "It fits into the broader strategy of expanding(Yahoo's)relationship on the desktop to the mobile phone, " said Thad White, director of mobile products at Yahoo. Yahoo will continue to offer the free service to Sprint customers. Yahoo and Sprint will share part of the revenue from the fee, but both companies declined to break down the numbers. While the e-mail feature is Yahoo's most popular, it isn't the first premium service offered. The company has a premium messaging and photo service available, and White said to expect the company to continue exploring other possibilities to offer a pay service. "We're constantly looking at ways to deepen our relationship, " he said. The companies' research indicated there was demand for a pay e-mail service. Styers said they are targeting customers who find email to be extremely important, but don't want to be wed to one of Research In Motion Ltd. 's Blackberrys.

Dave Walsh, web editor on board the Rainbow Warrior again this year, gave the following account of the 2004 expedition that followed the activities of seven ships as they trawled seamounts for target species of orange roughly. "We watched them raising tons of fish, corals—and even rocks from the ocean floor! Dozens of species of ' unwanted' deep sea life, snapped from habitat 1000km below us, were turfed over the side of the bottom trawlers, internal organs blown apart from the violent change in pressure. Hundreds of albatross—a bird usually considered a loner, drifting at the mercy of the winds-squabbled over the dead or dying fish. " Among the huge amounts of bottom dwelling marine life including fish, sea stars, squid, sea urchins and ghost sharks that were hauled up and discarded, was a delicate branch of endangered black coral, a species listed on the UN Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species(CITES)for over 20 years. Black coral is also protected in adjacent New Zealand waters. Corals are the foundation of unique deep-sea communities and their destruction affects everything else living in or near them on the sea floor. Speaking at a press conference on board the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland harbour to launch the current expedition, oceans campaigner Carmen Gravatt said "Bottom trawling is the most destructive fishing practice in the world. The deep sea is the largest pool of undiscovered life on Earth. Bottom trawling these unknown worlds is like blowing up Mars before we get there. " Recently, in collaboration with the Scottish Association for Marine Science(SAMS), we also concluded the exploration of a little-known coral reef complex off the west of Scotland. Using remotely operated vehicles(small, unmanned submarines), scientists studied and documented the reef, its cold water corals and the numerous species it is thought to host. Previous surveys of the reef conducted by SAMS found that parts of the coral formation are 3, 800 years old and the base may be over 10, 000 years old. Next week, our political advisor Karen Sack will speak at a UN meeting on Oceans. Will the Rainbow Warrior once again unearth crucial evidence so the UN can see with their own eyes that a moratorium is needed? "Each day bottom trawling continues, more deep sea life gets wiped out and the situation becomes more critical, " said Gravatt. "A moratorium on bottom trawling in international waters is urgently needed to protect life in the deep sea."
