N2 - RHIC data have shown robust collective flows, strong jet and charm quenching, and charm flow. Recently "conical flows" from damped jets were seen. Non-Abelian classical strongly coupled plasmas were introduced and studied via molecular dynamics, with first results for its transport (diffusion and viscosity) reported. Quantum-mechanical studies reveal the survival for T > Tc of the lowest binary states, including colored ones, and also of some manybody ones such as baryons. "Polymeric chains" q̄.g.g..q are also bound in some range of T, perhaps the progenitors of the QCD strings. AdS/CFT applications advanced to a completely new level of detail: they now include studies of thermal heavy quark motion, jet quenching and even conical flow. Confinement is however still beyond simply strong coupling: its de-facto inclusion the so called AdS/QCD approach is so far added as a model, while true understanding may probably only come from further insights into the monopole dynamics.
