Dear Colleagues,
following a really exciting few days in New York at the APsaA annual meetings I wish that I could post some of the wonderful presentations I am hearing, but we will have to wait for those, so I mention it only to whet your appetite for next time.
In the meanwhile, the website is still replete with interesting material and I list my choices, followed the by rest of the posts.
1) Is this true as in China that only children are “less trusting, less trustworthy, less competitive and more risk-averse than those with siblings, as well as “more neurotic, less conscientious and more pessimistic?” Please read the study in the CHINA category.

2) If any of you have a paper that is due by a certain deadline (this year is particularly bad), and those of you who think you might ore just have a dead line of some sort ( who doesn’t) please read the post on “positive procrastination”. If it does not accomplish anything else for you, it might make you feel better. ( in the EDITORIALS category, in case you wondered)

3) Apropos the Newtown shooting: Please read the “It’s the Guns Not (video)Games”. Incidentally, I wonder why the copy-cat phenomenon is not stressed more.

4) For comic relief, enjoy Woody Allen’s note on “not hypochondriac, an alarmist!”

5) Many a time a writer expresses worry that analysis will make the creative process in them “disappear”. Fred Griffin’s paper comparing the writer’s hovering attention to analytic listening should dispel those fears.

XVI. Father/Daughter Fantasy in *The Artist*
On the face of it, it is astounding that a silent film would win awards as best motion picture of the year; although, the anomaly may be a key to its success, as we may admire and enjoy something that is so different.
