******* The publisher shuffle in the epicurean category seems to have settled for now, with the appointment at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia of Amy Wilkins as publisher of Everyday Food magazine. That magazine had lost publisher Anne Balaban to Everyday With Rachael Ray, whose publisher, Christine Guilfoyle, had decamped for WWD in the fall. The digest-sized Everyday Food posted a 16.5 percent ad page growth this year over 2006, and it will raise its rate base to 900,000 next month. Although the position has been open for about six weeks, MSLO didn't look very far for the pick: Wilkins is already the publisher of Martha Stewart Weddings, and she now has a bit more time on her hands, since the company closed her other responsibility, the younger lifestyle book Blueprint, last week. Curiously, the 500 words of the press release included no mention of Blueprint. MORE ONLINE

His final year as Russia's President has been his most successful yet. At home, he secured his political future. Abroad, he expanded his outsize—if not always benign—influence on global affairs In a year when Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize and green became the new red, white and blue; when the combat in Iraq showed signs of cooling but Baghdad's politicians showed no signs of statesmanship; when China, the rising superpower, juggled its pride in hosting next summer's Olympic Games with its embarrassment at shipping toxic toys around the world; and when J.K. Rowling set millions of minds and hearts on fire with the final volume of her 17-year saga—one nation that had fallen off our mental map, led by one steely and determined man, emerged as a critical linchpin of the 21st century. Russia lives in history—and history lives in Russia. Throughout much of the 20th century, the Soviet Union cast an ominous shadow over the world. It was the U.S.'s dark twin. But after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Russia receded from the American consciousness as we became mired in our own polarized politics. And it lost its place in the great game of geopolitics, its significance dwarfed not just by the U.S. but also by the rising giants of China and India. That view was always naive. Russia is central to our world—and the new world that is being born. It is the largest country on earth; it shares a 2,600-mile (4,200 km) border with China; it has a significant and restive Islamic population; it has the world's largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction and a lethal nuclear arsenal; it is the world's second largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia; and it is an indispensable player in whatever happens in the Middle East. For all these reasons, if Russia fails, all bets are off for the 21st century. And if Russia succeeds as a nation-state in the family of nations, it will owe much of that success to one man, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. MORE ONLINE

Nine bloggers from an assortment of sites will contribute to the blog, as noted in the announcement about The Ruckus: "We think 'The Ruckus' will help introduce readers to a new array of voices and will encourage enlightened political discourse as the '08 race steps into high gear," Deidre Depke, editor of Newsweek.com, said in a statement. The cross-section of posts on the site presents an opening paragraph from a participating blogger. To read more, the visitor hits a link that goes to the blog's home.
