    July/August 2007 Issue 136 A Publication for the members of the American Astronomical Society 4 AAS Elections President’s Column Preliminary Slate J. Craig Wheeler, [email protected] From all indications, the Hawaii meeting was a success. The hotels were near the beach, and the 4 convention center was a great environment for the scientific presentations. The interaction with Council Actions the members of the Solar Physics Division was very satisfactory. The Sun is a star, and we do have issues in common! I got my first ever Aloha shirts from a nice little shop in the Ala Moana mall and sported two leis at the banquet. 5 Member Deaths For those of you keeping score, the summer meeting is when people elected in January take office. John Huchra is now formally President Elect. I offer my personal thanks and that of the Society to Bob Kirshner for his four years of service as he steps down as Past President. We have a new Vice- 5 President, Lee Hartmann, but will miss Wal Sargent who has completed his three-year tour.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.
