Time Magazine: New York

Former Time deputy managing editor Priscilla Painton has been named editor-in-chief of Simon & Schuster's adult trade imprint, which is far more respectable than it sounds. Painton, who left Time in December, will take over most of the responsibilities of flinty (and legendary) editorial director, Alice Mayhew, who's staying on at the publishing house in a somewhat diminished capacity. Mayhew shepherded, among others, books by Craig Unger, Bob Woodward, Doris Kearns Goodwin. Painton, daughter of one of the founders of Time Europe, spent 20 years at the news weekly, earning the respect of many. She was known for making wry fun of former managing editor Jim Kelly to his face (when warranted) during weekly staff editorial meetings, and remains the highest-ranking female editor in the magazine's history.

Time Magazine's winning sites were culled from hundreds of candidates and typically offered "..dynamic new ways to inform and entertain." According to Time, McAfee SiteAdvisor "..aims to keep you out of trouble - or, to be precise, stop you from clicking through to websites where spyware, worms, and other cyber threats lurk .. Why would you need this? Because simply clicking through to a suspect site can wreak havoc on a PC, and risky sites comprise a growing portion of search returns."

Time magazine should have acknowledged that its parent company is opposed to limits on media consolidation. It wishes to own as much of cable as it can (so it could continue to swallow up cable systems, such as what it and Comcast recently did when they carved up giant Adelphia cable). The magazine should have acknowledged that its parent once before had predicted great things for the U.S. public with new media—when AOL and Time Warner merged in what was then the largest media merger in U.S. history. It should have acknowledged the numerous lies given by Time Warner executives to shareholders, consumers, and policymakers when it claimed to be a sound and public-minded deal.

Dr. Shi's profile in TIME is authored by Dr. Martin Green, executive research director of the ARC Photovoltaics Centre of Excellence at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). Dr. Shi began his lifelong commitment to solar energy when Dr. Green offered him a scholarship to conduct solar-cell research for UNSW in 1989. After earning his Ph.D., he became deputy research director of a university spin-off that was developing next-generation solar technology. In 2001, he founded Suntech, which became the first private Chinese company to list on the New York Stock Exchange. Today, Dr. Shi devotes over 20 percent of his time to meeting with Chinese government officials, business leaders, academics and citizens to build awareness about climate change and global warming.
