Putin's Successor
This weekend, Russians are almost certain to choose as their next leader a man who strikes much of the world as a cipher.
With Russia's opposition silenced and its major media mostly under Kremlin control, First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is heavily favored to win Sunday's presidential election. Vladimir Putin, who handpicked Mr. Medvedev to succeed him, is barred by Russia's constitution from running for a third consecutive term. Mr. Medvedev has invited the popular Mr. Putin to stay on as prime minister, the government's second-most-powerful job.
The central mystery of Mr. Medvedev is whether he will call his own shots -- and, if he does, how he will rule.
Barring unforeseen events Medvedev will become the next Russian president.

Kosovo to Become a State
Kosovo's parliament meets Sunday afternoon to officially declare the province's independence from Serbia, a move opposed by Serbia and Russia but supported by many western governments.Mapmakers are happy.CNN's Alessio Vinci, reporting from the Kosovar capital Pristina, said that the plan is for Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci to read out the independence declaration, which is written in Albanian, Serbian and English, to parliament before lawmakers pass it unanimously.
Vinci added that Kosovo's Albanian population were already singing and dancing in the streets as well as lighting firecrackers ahead of the much anticipated vote. "It's been like this for several hours now," he said.

I used imeem for my first experiment. 5 minutes later I had 3 songs posted. It was very user friendly.
Try the others ones as well. Automatic background music may or may not be an option. Look and see. But a short play list could enhance many of the blogs.
Good luck with it.

AP Teachers of Comparative Government
I thought this would be a great way to assist you in learning more about incorporating current events blogging in your classroom.
I started blogging for my economics class at http://mayfieldeconclass.blogspot.com/
during the summer. I found it to be an easy way to get all of the interesting things that I read and wanted to share with my class organized and easy to find in the future.
I got the opportunity to take over the AP Comparative Government class in January. They had been doing a traditional current events project. I did not want to change that aspect of the class, but I wanted to add the use of technology. I set up a few blogs, created a rubric for assessing blog posts, and we started blogging.
So far, so good...
Let me know if I can assist or help you in any way.
