Indiana has gone from good to great, and Michigan State coach Tom Izzo thinks he knows how the Hoosiers have done it.
"He makes them better," Izzo said.
Oladipo shook off a sprained left ankle with a spectacular performance to lift top-ranked Indiana to a 72-68 win over the fourth-ranked Spartans on Tuesday night.
"I'm not going to lie, it hurt a little," Oladipo said. "But I wanted to win."
It looked like a victory meant more to him than any other player in the highly anticipated game that matched the pregame hype.
"Oladipo is just a refuse-to-lose guy," Izzo said. "Winning time, he made the plays."
Oladipo's go-ahead putback, dunk and free throws in the final minute gave him 19 points to go with nine rebounds, five steals and a block. Not bad for a guy who didn't play after halftime of his previous game, just three days earlier, because of the injury.
Hoosiers coach Tom Crean insisted that the junior shooting guard "wasn't even close" to 100 percent healthy.
"There's no doubt his foot hurt," Crean said. "That mind was right, and that was the biggest thing."
Indiana (24-3, 12-2 Big Ten) broke a first-place tie in the conference — with four games left in the regular season — and moved a step closer toward earning top seeding next month in the NCAA tournament.
"It was a huge win for us," Oladipo said. "We've come a long way."
The Hoosiers had lost 17 straight — since 1991 — on the road against the Spartans.
"Most of those guys weren't alive," Crean said of his players. "It didn't affect them."
Michigan State (22-5, 11-3) blew chances at the line, but Izzo thought a lot of little and big plays earlier in the game were as much to blame for the missed opportunity to win.
"Games aren't lost with free throws at the end," he said.
This one was won by Oladipo
Trailing by three with 3.7 seconds left, Gary Harris was fouled on a 3-point attempt. He missed the first one — setting off sighs in the sold-out arena — and after making the second, he deliberately missed the third.
Indiana got the rebound — Oladipo grabbed it, of course — and he hit two free throws to seal the win.
"We were right there," Harris said somberly. "And, we could've won."
Keith Appling had missed the front end of a one-and-one with a little more than a minute left.
"I'd say I was more upset than surprised," he said.
Cody Zeller had 17 points — nearly doubling what he had in the previous matchup against Michigan State — while Jordan Hulls and Christian Watford scored 12 each for the Hoosiers.
Oladipo and Zeller went over the 1,000-point mark of their careers in the game, joining Hulls and Watford in the club, to give the storied program four players with that many points on the same team for the first time.
"They've got a lot of weapons," Izzo said. "They've got a lot of experience."
Harris, Indiana's Mr. Basketball last year, missed a layup in a crowded lane with 16 seconds left and finished with 19 points. Adreian Payne scored 17 and the rest of the Spartans struggled offensively.
Appling, Michigan State's leading scorer, was held to six points on 1-of-8 shooting.
"My quarterback struggled a little bit," Izzo said.
Branden Dawson had eight points and Derrick Nix scored eight and some of his contributions offensively late in the game looked like they were going to help the school win its second game in the regular season against a No. 1 team.
Nix made a go-ahead shot — after grabbing rebounds off two of his misses — to put Michigan State ahead 64-63 lead with 3:08 left and scored again in the post on its next possession.
Harris made one of two free throws with 1:38 remaining to give the Spartans a game-high, four-point lead.
Watford responded with a three-point play on the ensuing possession to pull Indiana within a point and Oladipo did the rest.
Michigan State had won five straight and 11 of 12 with its only loss during the stretch at Indiana. In last month's five-point loss at Indiana, Oladipo had 21 points, seven rebounds, six steals and three blocks.
The rematch marked the first time two top-five teams have met at the Breslin Center.
It was the third matchup of top-four teams in college basketball this season — the second for Indiana, which beat then top-ranked Michigan — and was just the fourth with a pair of Big Ten teams since 1997.
"Nothing rattles us too much," Zeller said.

The Dynamics of Gold Prices, Gold Mining Stock Prices and Stock Market Prices Comovements
We examine the dynamic relationships between gold prices, stock price indices of gold mining companies and broad stock market indices. Evidence of cointegration between these variables is found. A vector error-correction model reveals that both gold and large-cap stock prices adjust to disturbances to restore the long-term relationship between the variables. Short-term unidirectional causal relationships are running from large-cap stock prices to gold mining company stock prices and from gold mining company stock prices to gold prices.

Rep. Hunter hammers Army on social science project
WASHINGTON – The Army program that sends social scientists to battlefields should be scrapped because it is "plagued by instances of abuse and misconduct," according to a letter to congressional appropriators from Rep. Duncan Hunter.
Hunter, a Republican member of the Armed Services Committee from California, wrote that the "cost and failures" of the Human Terrain System, along with the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, indicate the program should be ended. He sent the letter to the top members of the defense appropriations subcommittee.
Since 2007, the Army has spent $726 million on Human Terrain System teams, which advise commanders on how improve the lives of civilians in war zones while avoiding bloodshed. The most recent survey of commanders and staff, through March, showed that 95% of them find information provided by the teams to be worthwhile, according to Maj. Harold Huff, an Army spokesman. There are nine teams in Afghanistan.
A USA TODAY investigation of the program, based on Army documents, found concerns about time-sheet fraud and racism and sexism among team members and staff. In some cases, team members were paid $280,000 annually for work that investigators found questionable. A 2010 Army probe found the program had been "fraught with waste, fraud and abuse."
The Army maintains those issues occurred years ago and have been resolved. It also plans to continue fielding teams to its forces assigned to regions around the world in coming years, Huff said.
Hunter still questioned the value of the program in light of cuts to training and the size of the Army.
"There's not enough money or flexibility in the budget to sustain end strength and training but somehow HTS, with all of its issues, is still needed to send social scientists to war zones at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars to U.S. taxpayers," Hunter said in a statement. "Even if the fiscal environment were different, we really have to question the validity of a program like this and ask ourselves if this is worth spending money on for what's provided in return."
Hunter's recommendation, like those of other members, will be carefully reviewed, said Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., chairman of the defense appropriations panel.

A Bloomfield man who allegedly was with the man charged with killing University of Connecticut football player and Miami native Jasper Howard has pleaded not guilty to a conspiracy charge.
Twenty-year-old Hakim Muhammad entered the plea Friday in Rockville Superior Court on a charge of conspiracy to commit assault.
Prosecutors say Muhammad and his friend and co-worker, 21-year-old John William Lomax III, were involved in a minor altercation with others outside a university sanctioned dance early Oct. 18.
The suspects allegedly went back to Lomax's car and returned with knives.
Prosecutors say several witnesses identified Lomax of Bloomfield as the person who stabbed 20-year-old Howard.
Muhammad's attorney has said that while some witnesses claim his client had something in his hand that looked like a knife, no one has offered evidence that he swung it at anyone.

We were nothing less than thrilled about the performance of the 406ci small-block we built for January's "Old School Meets New" showdown. Faced with a formidable 402ci Gen IV opponent, our mondo-cammed motor matched its high-tech opponent pony for pony, churning out 582.9 hp and 532.7 lb-ft of torque. But even as we celebrated our creation's prodigious power output, we began to wonder if we'd left something on the table. Our peak horsepower number happened at 6,300 rpm, at which point the power curve took an abrupt nosedive. "It's going into valve float," said our dyno guru, Westech's Steve Brul. With that, we decided to see if we could get better control of our 406's valves and moderate the post-peak power drop.
Our first step was to call in some professional help, namely Comp Cams engineer Billy Godbold. We shared our dyno-day observations, and as it turns out, valve float, which indicates loss of lifter contact with the camshaft lobe, isn't really an accurate description of what was happening in our 406's valvetrain. The issues are much more complex than that. We don't have room here for a dissertation on valvetrain dynamics, and fortunately, Godbold was able to give us the info we needed in layman's terms. Better yet, he was able to prescribe a solution, and an effective one at that.
Godbold described the phenomenon we experienced as "a very light valve bounce." Unlike valve float, valve bounce indicates that the valve is not staying seated. "The spring mass itself wasn't enough to hold the valve down," Godbold continued. "The spring starts to surge, so the valve control isn't good. When a spring is having problems controlling its own mass, it doesn't have as much ability to close the valve, and doesn't hold it closed. It can even push the valve open."
Substitute the word "resonance" for "surge," and you've got a quick explanation of our problem. All valvesprings resonate at a certain frequency, and they reach this frequency at a given rpm. Godbold calls this the spring's limit speed, but it isn't necessarily tied to high-rpm antics. "When a spring gets close to the limit speed, it resonates," he told us. "Many people think it happens at high rpm, but it actually happens whenever the spring approaches its limit speed." This resonance, according to Godbold, is a function of both a spring's rate and its mass. "As spring rate goes higher, frequency goes up," he told us. "And as mass goes down, frequency goes up."
Although spring limit speed isn't always tied to high rpm, in this case, our spring's limit speed was close to the engine speed at which our 406 produced peak power-thus the spoon-shaped dip at the end of our dyno runs. What we needed to combat the resonance issue was a lighter spring that also has a higher natural frequency. Godbold figured that a bit of Gen III/IV tech was in order, specifically a set of beehive-style valvesprings, first introduced for the Gen III LS6 powerplant.
"The nature of a beehive spring is that it has a progressive rate," Godbold explained. "Each coil has its own resonance frequency. It's not just magic-there's a reason it works. It's hard to make the whole thing resonate." Remember, however, that resonance is also a function of a spring's weight, as well as its spring rate. Higher spring rate usually leads to a physically heavier spring, but using a beehive spring allowed us to maintain the same spring rate while cutting valvespring and retainer weight in half. "All we did was move the limit speed up, and the limit speed was close to peak power," Godbold summed up. When compared to the "gorilla method," which would have mandated a bigger, heavier spring, this is a finesse approach. We are actually able to obtain better control with less seat load, open load, and spring rate by substantially reducing the mass, thereby increasing the natural frequency. Our post-peak dip is gone, and the thing revs to seven grand without a complaint. Sure, power still drops off after the peak, but not as abruptly-up high, our rev-happy 406 is now making 40-some horsepower more than it did. We'll take it.
Quick Notes
The Mission
Control high-rpm valve instability on a 406ci stroker small-block
The Bottom Line
A set of beehive valvesprings eliminated our post-peak power drain.
Before submitting our Coast High Performance-built 406 stroker to a round of high-rpm dyno testing, we installed a set of Comp Cams Pro Magnum hydraulic-roller lifters. They don't look any different from the regular High Energy lifters, but they're internally designed to perform at higher engine speeds. "The Pro Magnum lifter has less oil volume," Comp's Billy Godbold explained. "The valving and geometry are set up to handle high rpm." These lifters also have a low bleed-down rate and less plunger travel, which means they require a bit more attention when it comes to setting preload. They aren't, however, a cure-all. "They'll solve a lifter issue, not a valve issue," said Godbold. "The lifter was fine; the valve was bouncing." Indeed, Comp's regular-issue handled our 6,500-rpm abuse just fine. Looking to the long run, however, we went for the upgrade. Godbold endorsed our choice: "It's set up to be a very stout lifter. It's really good insurance."
To a certain extent, installing a stiffer valvespring improves valve control and reduces issues like valve bounce. On the other hand, stiffer valvesprings tend to be heavier, and weight is the enemy when it comes to high-performance valvetrains. Heavier springs are harder to control, and are harder on the rest of the valvetrain. Installing beehive valvesprings allowed us to have our cake and eat it too. Our springs had nearly identical seat and open-load figures, but the newfangled beehives weigh nearly half as much, and stayed in control where the traditional coils strayed.
The point of this exercise was to demonstrate the vastly improved valve control we achieved by switching to beehive valvesprings, as opposed to chasing peak power. Ah, who are we kidding? There was time for a glory run at the end of the day, and this is CHEVY HIGH PERFORMANCE, right? Dyno details are as before, except we bumped the timing up to 39 degrees and fattened up our Mighty Demon mixer with an 85 primary/90 secondary jet combo. Our rev-happy 406 rewarded us with 4 more horsepower and 11 extra pound-feet of torque when compared to our Jan. '07 test, made with a 750-cfm Mighty Demon, with gains shown throughout the powerband. Our old nemesis valve bounce was nowhere to be found.
Average torque 490.4 lb-ft Average power 447.3 hp

Union questions need for Caterpillar layoffs
Wisconsin union officials questioned Caterpillar Inc.'s plans to temporarily lay off up to 300 workers in the Milwaukee area after the company's CEO called for more visas for foreign engineers and a path to legal status for workers who entered the country illegally .
Doug Oberhelman, chairman and CEO of the Illinois-based heavy-equipment manufacturer, made his appeal Monday at a kickoff event for the Illinois Business Immigration Coalition in Chicago.
"Today, we (employers) have gaps in our workforce," he said. "We have trouble filling highly skilled positions like engineers and scientists. We also have trouble filling many lower-skilled positions."
Union officials, however, questioned that claim because the company announced last week that it would lay off up to 40 percent of its blue-collar workers at plants in South Milwaukee and Milwaukee because equipment sales have slowed.
Tony Montana, spokesman for the United Steelworkers of America, also noted that the layoffs were announced shortly before the company began negotiations with the union.
"I think it makes sense to be very skeptical of what the company says and what it does," Montana told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Caterpillar spokesman Rusty Dunn said the need to attract and keep highly-trained workers from other countries is a separate issue from layoffs of blue-collar workers in Wisconsin.
"There will be ups and downs in the business, and there will be actions we have to take to meet the needs of the business," Dunn said.
Caterpillar, the world's largest maker of construction and mining equipment, bought South Milwaukee-based Bucyrus International in 2010 for $7.6 billion. It said previously that the length of the layoffs depended on the company's business outlook.

Batsheva Dance Company: Ohad Naharin's "Project 5"
Video: Batsheva Dance Company in Ohad Naharin's Project 5
Given the chance, I usually prefer to see a dance twice. I can anticipate the choreography and more strategically direct my gaze, and I detetct nuances that I missed the first time around.
I first saw Batsheva Dance Company in Ohad Naharin's Project 5 when it premiered in 2008, and by the time I had my second viewing last week, there had been a significant change: the gender of the dancers. Originally created for five female dancers, Project 5 is now being performed not only by women but also by men.
I had wondered if I would sense differences between the male version and the female version of Project 5. Without watching the versions back-to-back, it was challenging to make a fair comparison. Instead, as I watched the men, I found myself thoroughly absorbed in noticing the subtle idiosyncrasies among individuals both within this particular quintet and across the two casts I had seen. Project 5's assortment of small groupings and repeated compositional motifs provide ample opportunity to observe each dancer in all his (or her) glory and discover each performer's winning quirks.
Those of you in Israel can catch both female and male casts in Project 5 at the Suzanne Dellal Center from January 28-30. For those of you who aren't in the country, you can get your Batsheva fix online by browsing their fantastic new website (link below; English version to come shortly!).
My preview of Project 5 was originally published as "Changing Places" in the Jerusalem Post.
* * *
Changing Places
Two dancers rhythmically swing their forearms side to side as Isao Tomita's synthesizer transforms the stirring melody of Ravel's Bolero. Positioned squarely behind microphones, three dancers intersperse their stern monotone chanting with more dynamically accented gestures. Five dancers add movement after movement to a gradually accumulating phrase, striking their abdomens with a resounding slap each time a woman's voice matter-of-factly intones one particular line from Charles Bukowski's "Making It." And finally, costumed in flowing white fabric, five dancers shoot through the space in soaring jumps and ritualistically smear mud across their faces and chests.
Are these dancers men or women? The answer depends on which performance of Ohad Naharin's Project 5 you attend.

Naharin first presented Project 5 in 2008 to showcase five female dancers who had recently been promoted to the Batsheva Dance Company from the junior Batsheva Ensemble. Besides displaying the formidable talents of these up-and-coming dancers, Project 5 unearthed several gems from the rich landscape of Naharin's repertory. The engrossing trio "Park" hails from Moshe (1999), the finely crafted quintet set to Bukowski's instructive text and Arvo Pärt's "Für Alina" is from George and Zalman (2006), and Black Milk, the supremely athletic closing section for five dancers, was first performed in 1985. "B/olero," the duet with its hypnotizing loops of movement, was the only section created in 2008 for members of the original Project 5 cast.

In its early performances, the chance to see five of Batsheva's freshest female dancers featured in this intimate chamber setting was reason enough to go to the theater. But now Naharin is upping the ante, offering a rare opportunity to see the exact same choreography in both a female version and a male version. During the production's latest run at the Suzanne Dellal Center, two all-male and two all-female casts are performing Project 5.

While reversing the casting of men and women in a classical ballet would be unthinkable because of the genre's gender norms, switching the genders in Naharin's choreography is an intriguing novelty that fits comfortably into the realm of possibility. Indeed, regarding the materials with which his dancers work during the creative process, Naharin explains, "it is possible to talk, among other things, about musicality, accuracy, groove, passion, the ability to sublimate personal madness as an aid for creation, connection to sexuality and more, and all these things are not connected to gender and are not the property of men or of women."
"The difference," Naharin notes, "lies in the different point of reference of the viewer – in social conventions, our habits, and the awareness that a man does a woman's role."

Naharin's assertion is supported by veteran Batsheva dancer Guy Shomroni's experience in working on Project 5. Asked if it felt significantly different to step into roles originated by women, Shomroni replied, "Frankly, not really, because the starting point for us as dancers in this company is usually coming from a more physical way." Rather than taking on specifically gender-coded movement or characters, Shomroni and his fellow male dancers were charged with the same basic physical tasks that their female predecessors faced.

Yet there was a high level of excitement for the new male cast when it came to learning Project 5. Shomroni reflects that besides Black Milk, which has frequently been performed by a male quintet, "None of the material was ever offered for men to do . . . to touch this product after it's already been through a process and a maturing on stage, it's a nice experience."

As for the audience's perspective, Shomroni muses that the differences among dancers of the same gender may be as fascinating as the contrasts between the male and female casts. In a company full of strikingly individual dancers, each of whom is uniquely compelling, this may well be the case. Yet returning to the issue of gender, Shomroni adds thoughtfully, "there is a difference in the body shape and the body curves in the way the body is built, so maybe there is going to be some type of change. Tell me if you find some."

It's not often that a company of any kind is accused of inspiring cultlike devotion. But that's certainly the case with at least one tech giant: Apple is widely considered to have a cultlike following among its customers. How else can you explain the fact that the release of the white iPhone 4 was such important news? Especially when the white iPhone 4's distinguishing attribute is its being…white.
But Apple isn't the only tech company out there with a seemingly cultlike following. Android and BlackBerry (CrackBerry?) fanboys abound, ravaging the internet with their similarly irrational, mindless chants about their respective platforms' advantages.
(See "Quiz: Who Said It--Cult Member or Fanboy?")
But can any of these followings really be called "cultlike"? After all, there is a difference between "intense brand loyalty" and "cult membership"--right?
Let's take a look at the three loyalty-inspiring phone brands--Android, Apple, and BlackBerry--and see how they compare with real cults.
What is a Cult?
People often think that cults are all the same: manipulative, mind-controlling, and evil. But this isn't the case--there are many different kinds of cults, and not all are dangerous.
According to leading cult expert, former cult member, and founder of The Freedom of Mind Center, Steve Hassan, cults exist on a continuum ranging from benign to destructive. In fact, Hassan says many cults are not considered dangerous, because they don't use destructive tactics such as mind control, coercion, or deception. Rather, they're benign cults that inspire people's loyalty through the simple--and ethical--use of psychology.
Because no two cults are the same, it's hard to define exactly what makes a cult. Hassan identifies destructive cults as having four basic components (sometimes known as the BITE Model): Behavior control, Information control, Thought control, and Emotional control. According to Hassan, "destructive mind control" can be determined when all four of these components come together and promote dependency and obedience to a certain leader or cause.
Now, most of these components are not found in the "cults" we're talking about here. After all, Steve Jobs doesn't ask Apple users to cut their hair a certain way, and the cute green Android robot doesn't encourage you to spy on other Android users to make sure they're not using Apple products.
Douglas Atkin's book, The Culting of Brands , defines cultlike traits that many brands exhibit (or can exhibit in order to inspire loyalty in their users). Many of Atkin's cult characteristics can apply to nondestructive cults as well as destructive ones, including the emphasis and promotion of difference or exclusivity, emphasis on symbolism, shared experiences, and strict adherence to a doctrine or belief system.
Let's take a look at some of the classic traits of cults and the behavior of the people leading them and participating in them, then compare them to the traits we see in tech movements and their devotees.
Cult Trait #1: A Charismatic Leader
When people think of cults, they often think of the leaders--the crazy, power-hungry people who prey on the innocent minds (and pockets) of their followers. People think of leaders like James Warren "Jim" Jones, leader of the Peoples Temple cult, who orchestrated a mass suicide (by drinking cyanide-laced Flavor-Aid) of 900 of his cult's members.
Many cults have a charming, charismatic leader who is able to inspire intense devotion and sometimes even worship from his or her followers. However, Atkin says that the most successful cults have "quickly distributed power and responsibility beyond the founder or one central figure." In other words, while cults are often led by a single person, they can also be led by the community.
Android doesn't have a charismatic leader. Google fathered Android, but Larry and Sergey aren't exactly what you'd call charismatic and charming. Besides that, Android is an open-source platform that lives outside Google products and has many different variations. So Android is not like a cult from the "charismatic leader" perspective.
Android: +0
Apple does have a charismatic leader. Steve Jobs has a way of unveiling products, calling them "magical" and then selling them faster than Apple can produce them. And we know it's not just the products that are selling themselves--Jobs is so popular with Apple fanboys that his personal life--from medical issues to an announced biography--is news fodder. Apple definitely gets a point for being cultlike in this way.
Apple: +1
BlackBerry doesn't have a charismatic leader, either, but it does have a passionate "community" that acts like a collective leader, if you will. After all, BlackBerry phones continue to dominate the enterprise market, especially among large businesses. According to market research firm TNS, BlackBerry has 81 percent of the market when it comes to businesses with more than 1000 employees. We'll assume that the businesses are supplying their staffers with BlackBerrys, and so the businesses themselves are, arguably, the "cult leaders" in this case.
BlackBerry: +1
Cult Trait #2: Symbolism
Symbolism is an important feature of cults. Obviously, not everything with a symbol or some form of symbolism is a cult (in fact, most things are not), but most cults have some sort of symbol--whether it's a logo, a way of dressing, or a lifestyle--to help their members distinguish themselves as a members. According to The Culting of Brands, "symbols literally make meaning possible; they allow a given worldview to come alive in any and in every community."
Android, Apple, and BlackBerry all have distinctive branding and logos that people are more than happy to exhibit on their person. In fact, certain behaviors--such as tattooing said logos on one's body--are so extreme that they can even be considered a form of behavior control.
Android has that adorable little Android robot. Even though it doesn't have a name, it's everywhere. It's on t-shirts (intact, deconstructed, or taking a chunk out of Apple), stickers, and even tattoos. You can also buy the little guy as a plushie--if you feel so inclined. That little robot brings Android to mind every time we see it.
Android: +1
Apple's logo is pretty iconic. Not only does Apple ship white Apple decals with all of its products, you can also find the logo on everything from lapel pins to license plate frames to people's skin and in their hair. And that logo means something: innovation, the coolness factor, good taste, forward thinking.
Apple: +1
BlackBerry's logo isn't as prevalent as Android's robot or Apple's apple, but that doesn't mean BlackBerry fanboys aren't willing to waive their geek flag high. If you look hard enough you can find BlackBerry t-shirts and other BlackBerry logo gear, and at least one guy has a tattoo of a BlackBerry Storm on his shin (with the words 'iPhone Sucks' below). Generally speaking, though, BlackBerry users are more interested in buying accessories for their phones than in promoting their devotion in symbols, banners, flags.
BlackBerry: +0
Cult Trait #3: Promoting Difference, Not Diversity
Cults appeal to people not by beating them over the head with inane religious rants, but by focusing on--and exploiting--people's insecurities and feelings of being different. According to Atkin, cults don't only emphasize difference--they celebrate and promote it. They say to people, "You're different, we're different too."
That said, cults do not promote diversity. You may be different, but you're the same kind of different as is everyone else in the cult--and that kind of "different sameness" is encouraged and enculturated in the cult. This "shared experience" allows people to feel a sense of unity and community with other "different" members of society. And those other people over in that other tribe, well, they're just wrong.
Android doesn't encourage its user base to be homogeneous. It promotes diversity--not "sameness," as cults do. After all, its users are able to choose a variety of handsets that run the Android operating system on a variety of mobile providers. In fact, you can find a number of different versions of the OS itself out in the wild. The Android experience can only loosely be considered a "shared" one. Third-party developers can tweak just about every aspect of the Android interface, and individual users are able to customize their phones.
Android: +0
Apple's slogan is "Think Different." If that's not enough for you, let's not forget Apple's famous 1984 ad inspired by George Orwell's 1984, and Steve Jobs' corresponding introduction:
And yes, Apple is "different," not "diverse." That's why the AT&T iPhone 4 is exactly the same (in terms of UI) as the Verizon iPhone 4.
Apple: +1
BlackBerry smartphones are, as we know, a staple of large enterprises. Large enterprises aren't exactly known for their "difference" or their "diversity." (At least, not in the sense we're talking about.) Because BlackBerrys dominate the enterprise world, their users are likely to be conforming to one standard already--that of the business for which they work. This makes conforming to the BlackBerry "cult" even easier--after all, they "have to do it" for their job. Sure, in this case BlackBerry is piggybacking on the enterprises' established devotion, but they're still giving users a shared experience and a sense of unity.
BlackBerry: +1
Cult Trait #4: Indoctrination
Cults are usually based on a doctrine, a belief system, or a "truth" that is to be internalized by their members. Usually these systems are explicit, but they don't have to be.
While Google, Apple, and RIM may not have concrete lists of truths that they expect their users to subscribe to, there's no denying that Android, Apple, and BlackBerry users see themselves as part of very specific culture, perhaps even a religion.
Android users may not subscribe to the same beliefs as do Apple users, but they can be just as fanatic about them. Android users generally believe they are tech-savvy, smart, and practical. After all, they didn't fall prey to Apple's smoke-and-mirrors marketing techniques. Android users often cite the openness of the Android platform, and its hackability, as reasons for their devotion, implying they subscribe to Google's well-known philosophy of openness.
Android: +1
Apple users believe they are creative, artistic, and aesthetically discerning. In The Cult of Mac , Leander Kahney says that Apple users believe they are "creative technophiles," "independent thinkers," and "free spirits." In a recent unscientific survey by the Hunch Website, self-proclaimed Mac users tended to be more liberal, urban, and educated than self-proclaimed PC users. They also tended to be vegetarian.
Apple: +1
BlackBerry users believe they are responsible, hard-working, and powerful. They are less into technology than other phone users--which means they (think they) are less geeky and more worldly. They're financially stable, and perhaps a little boring. The old joke goes, "I want to date an iPhone user, but marry a BlackBerry user."
BlackBerry: +1
Cult Trait #5: Deception and Information Control
Information control is one of Hassan's four components that make up destructive cults. According to Hassan, information control includes deliberately holding back information, distorting information to make it acceptable, and outright lying. It can also include "outsider" vs. "insider" doctrines, spying on other members, and extensive use of propaganda.
Android is an extremely open platform. Not only is the software open source, but the Android Market has few restrictions on apps, especially compared with Apple's App Store. In fact, Android is so open that it recently made headlines thanks to an Android Market malware invasion.
Android: +0
Apple has recently been in the news thanks to its iPhone tracking debacle. While this was not necessarily new information or even unique to Apple iPhones, Apple's long silence on the matter troubled many people. But there are more forthright examples of Apple's desire for information control: Apple's rigid App Store policy, its stance against jailbreaking, its battle against pornography, and its anti-Flash sentiments.
Apple: +1
BlackBerry is the only platform that hasn't been in the news recently for being either too open or too secretive. Sure, BlackBerry has occasionally been the target of lawsuits regarding privacy (and potential boss-spying), but that's about it. Apparently, RIM is even able to make a BlackBerry secure enough for the leader of the free world.
BlackBerry: +0
Tallying It Up
The final score for cultlike behavior is: Android, 2; Apple, 5; and BlackBerry, 3. Now, these are only some traits exhibited by cults--and not all of them are traits exhibited by destructive cults.
That said, I think it's pretty fair to say that Apple definitely has a cultlike following to go along with its cultlike demeanor, and that Android and BlackBerry are not quite there…yet.

Sox-Wise and Otherwise
My weekly off-season opinions and observations about the White Sox…
With the World Series in the rearview mirror, The White Sox brass can now get busy preparing for a championship run in 2011.
No huge news has come out of the Sox camp thus far, but there have been some productive and interesting activity as we wait on bigger things to come. Those "bigger" things I'm talking about are the decisions around free agents Paul Konerko and A.J. Pierzynski, the attempt to get a solid lefthanded hitter (the Cardinals' Colby Rasmus has been rumored as a target), a move to shore up the bullpen which will impact the futures of arbitration-eligible Bobby Jenks and free agent J.J. Putz, plus various and sundry other determinations.
Here's a rundown of what's happened up until now:
Omar Back in Fold
Omar Vizquel's signing for another year at $1.75 million is the most positive move so far. He was a godsend this past season and, aside from Konerko, was probably the club's MVP as a result of his infield wizardry and respectable .276 batting average. With promising third baseman Brent Morel slated for third base, Vizquel provides insurance there and valuable backup at both second base and shortstop.
Thornton, Castr
o Return to Unsettled Bullpen and Catching Situations
o Return to Unsettled Bullpen and Catching Situations
Next to the Vizquel deal, picking up the options of All-Star setup man Matt Thornton and Ramon Castro, perhaps the best backup backstop in the game, have provided the most positive news. Depending on what happens with the bullpen, Thornton could be next year's closer. And Castro, who batted .328 with eight homers and 21 RBIs in only 37 games, gives depth to the catching position, especially if Pierzynski walks.
Paulie News
Konerko's decision will probably take a while, but word is that there is at least one serious suitor–his hometown Arizona Diamondbacks. Paulie, who lives in Scottsdale and grew up in that area, certainly could be tempted to stay home as opposed to re-upping with the Sox.
Pal Joey
Unless something surprising happens, Joey Cora will be back as the White Sox bench coach. Just last week he came in second to Angels bench coach Ron Roenicke for the Milwaukee Brewers managing job.
Peavy on the Mend
Because his shoulder injury is so rare, no one knows when and, frankly, if Jake Peavy will come back close to his Cy Young form. Latest word is that he's working hard in rehab and it won't be long until he starts soft-tossing.
Sox Seek New AAA Skipper
The White Sox are looking for a new manager at AAA Charlotte. The previous incumbent, Chris Chambliss, best known for his pennant-winning homer for the Yankees in the 1976 ALCS, is the new hitting coach for the Mariners under new skipper Eric Wedge.
Lucy, Williams Minor League Free Agents
The Sox have outrighted both catcher Donny Lucy and lefty reliever Randy Williams to Charlotte. They are now off the 40-man roster and qualify as minor league free agents.
Rising Stars: White Sox Style
Three White Sox prospects were named to last Saturday's Rising Stars Game, the Arizona Fall League's All-Star Game.
Those Sox chosen were standout shortstop Eduardo Escobar (pictured below), right-handed pitcher Anthony Carter and the club's 2009 No. 1 draft pick, Jared Mitchell.
Thus far, Escobar has been far and away the most impressive of the trio in the AFL. He is hitting .377 with an outstanding OPS (on base percentage plus slugging percentage) while leading the league with four homers along with great play in the field. For the record, he has also added four doubles and four triples.
Carter has recorded two saves while striking out 12 in seven innings of work while Mitchell, sans the gaudy stats, is still making significant progress after missing the entire 2010 season due to a leg injury.
In the Rising Stars Game itself, Escobar and Mitchell were both 0 for 1 and Carter pitched a scoreless 2/3 of an inning. Their team, the West, nipped the East, 3-2.

It's no secret that Sofia Vergara is one of the hottest stars in Hollywood right now. The Colombian beauty is everywhere. If you're shopping the aisles at Kmart you're surrounded by posters of her modeling her fashion line for the retailer, which includes intimates, of course. In drugstores she's fronting Cover Girl cosmetics and on TV she stars in Pepsi commercials when she's not making America laugh as the lovable bombshell wife Gloria on ABC's "Modern Family." The hit sitcom exploded Vergara's popularity in the mainstream U.S. but she's been a hot property in the Spanish-language market for years. With her crossover, Vergara strengthened the trend toward a lush, voluptuous look that is a signature of many Latina women. Aside from her knockout curves, however, Vergara has an innate sex appeal that Latinas, especially Colombian women, embrace with zest. Colombian lingerie brands are a hot trend in the market these days and I wanted to get some insight into their undeniable allure. I turned to one of the leading figures in the wave of Colombian style, Claudia Ochoa, the designer and founder of CLO Intimo, the elegant intimates brand that's making waves in the U.S. with beautiful designs that bring out the siren in any woman.
Margo Andros: Claudia, what is it that inspired you to enter the field of lingerie design?
Claudia Ochoa: While I was a designer in Medellin, Colombia and traveling to the U.S., a friend of mine told me that I should start a lingerie company. He felt that there were no "designer" lingerie companies at the time. Everything was either traditional or super sexy. That was before brands like Cosabella and Hanky Panky. It took me a while, but I finally got the opportunity to do it focusing on soft bras and ready-to-wear style designs, with an edginess and color that wasn't seen in the market.
Margo: How is the CLO brand distinguished in the market?
Claudia: Although it now sounds clichéd, I look at it from a woman's perspective. To be sexy and colorful everyday for you, and not playing dress up for a guy. Your sexiness comes from your own confidence. I never look at what other people are doing in lingerie. I try to stay pure and look at nature and other art forms.
I create my line taking shapes and colors from nature. My new collection is based on Rio Cano Cristales which is considered the most beautiful river in the world. Until recently it was in guerilla territory in Colombia and only now is being discovered again.
Margo: That's so interesting. With Colombian brands coming on strong, and Sofia Vergara's superstardom, what are your thoughts on the mindset of the Colombian woman and her views on fashion?
Claudia: Colombian women are overtly sexual. They put their bodies on display and hit you over the head with their sexuality. I try to take a little of that and nuance it to appeal to a more sophisticated Western women. Sort of blending French sophistication and Italian modernism with South American color and sexuality.
There has been a recent influx of Colombian brands on the trade show circuit because of the free trade agreement with the U.S. and the Colombian government that subsidizes their presence at several of the shows. Most of them are essentially Colombian brands trying to sell the same product that they sell in South America into the U.S. market. Some of it works, some of it does not.
Margo: Well, speaking from personal experience, we at Pink Slip love what CLO is doing and we're curious to know what direction you're taking with the collection for 2013.
Claudia: I'm happy to hear that, thanks. I am adding new groups and increasing the amount of colors in the existing groups, some with a new color every month while maintaining some of the 365 colors. I've been experimenting recently with color blocking and gradient dying, which you don't see much of in lingerie. I am also moving into some microfiber alternatives and loungewear pieces.
Margo: That sounds very exciting. I can't wait to see the new looks. Thanks so much for the sneak peek!
Claudia: It's my pleasure, Margo. Thanks for having me.
Now that we got the inside scoop from the expert herself, I want to share a few of the ultra glamorous looks that we proudly carry on PinkSlip.com from Claudia's gorgeous collection.
Kali High-Waist Boyshort
Kali is a contemporary geometric-shaped collection in sculpted microfiber, accentuated in black or ivory tulle. The high waist boyshort has microfiber with see-through mesh on the front for an edgy look.
Kali Soft Bra
The Kali soft bra, in a geometric-inspired design, is a longer style with microfiber and see-through mesh for an edgy look, and adjustable criss-cross straps for versatility.
Fortuna Demi Soft Bra
Made with banded lace and tulle, CLO's best-selling Fortuna collection is stunning as lounge wear, outerwear and lingerie. Most pieces are accented with semi-precious stones. The Demi Soft Bra has scalloped lace edges and spaghetti straps that can adjust to criss-cross in the back.
Fortuna Adjustable String Bikini
This unique bikini, in banded lace and tulle, adjusts toward the back so you never feel like it's too tight. It's a perfect blend of sexy and comfy.
Whichever of CLO's feminine styles you choose, I promise you will look muy caliente (very hot)!

Newly minted UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson (16-2-1 MMA, 4-1-1 UFC) is proud of his performance against Joseph Benavidez (16-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) at UFC 152 but believes he could have done more in the striking department.
He said the plan was to get inside the "bubble" of Benavidez's offense and get out before paying the price.
He also wanted to be in another place when Benavidez wanted to do likewise.
"I could hear his corner saying, 'You've got to find him, Joseph!" Johnson told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "And I was like, 'Find me, find me!'"
A few times, Benavidez did, and Johnson was dropped in the fourth round of their title fight and threatened with a guillotine choke at the Sept. 22 fight. Johnson kept his composure – he'd been put in the choke all during training camp – and eventually got back to his feet, where he resumed playing matador to his more aggressive opponent.
Johnson used footwork and angles to evade and return fire, though he wasn't able to hurt Benavidez.
"The gameplan was to use my speed, which is one of my greatest assets," Johnson said. "Joseph, he throws big bombs, and when you throw big bombs, you have to swing your arms wild, and that's where you get that power. When people do that, they leave themselves open for a lot of big shots.
"That's one of the things that I didn't get to execute on: staying in the pocket. I made Joseph miss, but I wasn't able to make him pay for missing as much as I wanted to."
The interplay was fast and furious, but it didn't do much for the crowd at UFC 152. By the end of the fight, which aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and Facebook, boos echoed throughout Toronto's Air Canada Centre.
Johnson, however, said fighting top-level fighters is a game in which every little thing counts and every mistake is a possible disaster.
"When I fought Ian McCall, and when I fought Joseph Benavidez, you look at those guys' records, and these guys have only lost twice in their entire lives," Johnson said. "And they're not even finishes. When you look at the guy, you think he's got heart, determination, and he's mentally focused. In order for this guy to get knocked out or finished, he's got to make a stupid mistake.
"When you've got the best guys in the world going after it, there's no room for error, and we're not going to go out there and make an error because we're not stupid. So that's basically what you see."
In the end, one judge saw it 48-47 for Benavidez, who looked far worse for the wear in the center of the octagon as scores were read. The remaining two judges saw it for Johnson by scores of 48-47 and 49-46.
Afterward, Johnson tried to console Benavidez, whom he'd grown to like as the two attended several PR events in support of UFC 152.
"I was saying, 'Good fight, man. Don't worry, you'll be back,'" he said. "I was like, 'Next time we hang out, we should get some mochi.' He said, 'I don't know if I can do it.' I was like, 'Joseph, don't you go sour on me now, dammit!'"
UFC President Dana White, however, was in a foul mood when it came to feedback on the fight from Twitter and the live audience. He told critics and boobirds to never again buy a UFC PPV if they didn't like what they saw.
Naturally, Johnson isn't nearly as worked up. He's the first man to hold the UFC flyweight title. A year ago, he was still logging hours as a forklift driver in the Pacific Northwest.
Johnson said he's likely to meet the winner of an upcoming bout between "The Ultimate Fighter 14" veteran John Dodson and top-ranked UFC newcomer Jussier Formiga, which takes place at UFC on FX 5 in a few weeks.
"We know Dodson is a southpaw," Johnson said. "Formiga is a ground guy. My takedown defense is getting better. It's just a combination of me and (trainer) Matt (Hume) working together and executing the game plan to a T."

…my good friend Milan gave me this t-shirt as a present for my 25th birthday.
Here's a closer look just in case you can't make it out.
I got this shirt two weeks to the day after September 11th. Needless to say, it wasn't the most popular article of clothing to be wearing right on the heels of the nation's worst terrorist attack, especially while living in Ohio.
In those months that followed, I got a lot of dirty looks from people while out in public. Once, while waiting in line at a grocery store, a cashier mumbled something under her breath about me being either a traitor or a terrorist. She spoke loud enough for me to hear her, but soft enough for me not to fully make it out.
Still, I wore this shirt with pride for the rest of George W. Bush's presidency. Actually, I continued to wear it well into Obama's first term, mostly just to remind myself of what dark times we had just emerged from.
For those eight years, while running Tastes Like Chicken, my friends and I went after Bush every chance we got. I'm not proud of everything we did and said in those years, but a lot of those funny little jabs still hold up today.
Especially this one.
But those years are now in the past (thankfully) and George W. Bush is mostly forgotten. Of course, over time he'll probably become a glowing poster boy of pride for the GOP, but that won't ever change my opinion of him.
He's still not my president. And I don't have to wear a t-shirt anymore to prove it.
I've had this shirt for more than eleven years. It feels great to finally get rid of it.
Heading to Goodwill,

A few of my favorite moments with Noah this season:
* He truly believes in Santa Claus this year--- and "got it", ya know? the whole concept. And it was magical. When Santa sent him a message via the Portable North Pole, he tried to talk back like it was Skype---- which actually twisted my heart a little, because I YEARNED for it to be a REAL Skype session for him. He was so earnest.
* He was so eager to go open an Advent envelope each morning, then run to the computer to click on the snow globe advent next (Jacquie Lawson's delightful advents, here).
* Noah began learning Christmas carols this year... Getting quite good at Jingle Bells and Up on the Housetop, among others.
* We watched the heck outta the Netflix streaming holiday cartoons. We kinda went on an Avengers hiatus to enjoy seasonal shows instead.
* Noah was a perfect helper when we made sugar cookie dough and rolled out sugar cookies to cut. I loved seeing him get covered in flour with one of my pretty aprons on... It was one of those, "This is what being a mama is all about!" moments.
* He inextricably linked Christmas with SNOW, and every time we'd say that Christmas was "x" days away, he'd say, "and then it'll SNOW??" It was tough to try to convince him that snow has its own timeline.
* When we opened the Advent envelope that said we got to go to the Mills to ride the train and the carousel, his reaction was one for the ages: He clenched his little fists, doubled over in tense joy, and chanted feverishly, "USA! USA!USA!USA!" like there was simply NO OTHER thing to say at that moment. It. Was. Priceless.
* We told him the Christmas Story this year using a cheap little Nativity I got from Walgreens last year. It was SO COOL to see him absorb the story and all the details while moving these "action figures" around. I could tell he was GETTING IT. He was really listening to the story. I am so excited that this first layer is in place. I know that as the years come and go, and he matures, he'll just keep adding more layers of meaning to this incredible story--- the reason for it all.
* I'm sure there are a million other moments that are escaping me right now... I love this kid so very much, and have been completely enchanted by Christmas through his eyes. What a neat thing, to be his mama right now. Well, always, really.
Lucy-isms this Holiday:
* Really, she didn't even notice anything different was going on this month... Haha!
* Except, well--- every morning when I'd go to open the blinds next to our Nativity collection, while holding her, she'd eagerly grab for the olive wood ones, hoping THIS would be the day she managed to swipe one for her very own. She never won.
* Other than that, her job this season was to just look cute, smile when Noah was excited, and practice eating Puffs. A LOT of Puffs.
* So this year, in terms of Christmas, there's not much to report on Lucy. But I guarantee that'll change by next year, when she is a mobile holy terror of a 1.5 year old. Ha! We might even have to skip a tree next year if she proves to be too crazy.
But goodness--- that FACE. She was my perfect doll this year, even if she had no idea what was going on.
New Years Eve is here. What are your plans? I am going to seduce my hubby over some homemade fondue and board games for two.... after the kiddos go to bed. We might even manage to stay awake until midnight!
Spicy, I know.
Happy New Years to All!

Jamie McMurray wins at Talladega; race ends with wild, last-lap crash
Jamie McMurray held the lead, but he knew second-place Dale Earnhardt Jr. was setting him up.
With Earnhardt, a five-time winner at Talladega, maneuvering behind him, McMurray thought he was a sitting duck. And then Austin Dillon, Earnhardt's drafting partner, suddenly lost control of his car and went sailing through the air.
When the caution flag flew on the final lap, McMurray knew he was home free.

"I don't know how the last lap would have played out," McMurray said. "... I could see the 88 (Earnhardt) trying to set me up and figure out where he could get a run on me. When that caution came out, I was thinking ... I wanted it to end under green, but at the same time, I was like, 'Throw a caution. I'm OK with that right now.'"
McMurray won his first race since 2010 and put two disappointing seasons at Earnhardt Ganassi Racing behind him. Earnhardt finished second followed by Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Paul Menard, Kyle Busch and David Ragan.
Jimmie Johnson, who dominated much of the race and led a race-high 47 laps, wound up 13th. Matt Kenseth, who led 32 laps, struggled with the handling of his car and wound up 20th, allowing Johnson to take the points lead in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
With just four races remaining, Johnson, the five-time champion, leads Kenseth by four points. Busch and Kevin Harvick are tied for third, 26 points behind. Jeff Gordon is 36 points back in fifth.
Johnson and Kenseth took turns leading the race early and both stayed close to each other on the track. But Kenseth lost the handle on his car late in the race and could not get back to the front. Johnson faded during the final run and could only get back to 13th. But that was enough to make up a four-point deficit and take the points lead for the first time in the Chase.
"The outside lane got going and everybody jumped up in it and you just don't know if people are going to chase the bottom or the top," Johnson said of the final 25-lap run to the checkered flag. "... I was on the bottom and worked my way to the middle and then everybody went single-file to the top and I dropped like a rock.
"It wasn't the position I wanted to be in late in the race but we rallied back and got a few positions and got to finally get back in front of the 20."
Kenseth was baffled by his car's handling problems and dejected at finishing 20th in a critical race. He has won two of the six Chase races and led since the start of the 10-race playoff.
"It's really bizarre. Handling is usually a non-issue here and I just got so loose I couldn't handle it and I just had to hang out at the back for the last two runs, which was really disappointing," Kenseth said. "We finally got it fixed the last run but we only had 20 laps left. I really needed to be up there like we were early, feeling like we could control the race."
Johnson now seems to have the advantage in his quest to win a sixth Sprint Cup championship. The next race is at Martinsville Speedway, where he has won eight times, including the last race in April.
"I feel like the race going forward, you don't have this big luck issue that can take place at plate tracks," Johnson said. "... I'm happy to have the points lead; we did a lot of work to get there. We will just go racing from here. That's what I'm excited for — great racetracks and great racecars. It's just going to be a dogfight until the end."
Kenseth, meanwhile, is not giving up. He has seven wins this year and should have the edge at Texas and Homestead.
"I've got one of the greatest teams out here and I feel like we can race with anybody," Kenseth said. "Hopefully we'll be at our best the next four weeks and we'll give them a run for their money. It's just an incredibly disappointing day."
Kyle Busch held the lead after the last round of green-flag pit stops with about 25 laps to go, but McMurray worked his way to the front and took the lead with 15 laps to go.
"I knew that our car was good in practice, I just couldn't get in the right line," said McMurray, who now has seven career victories, including two each at Daytona and Talladega. "To get in the right line requires a lot of risks. I feel like I was pretty patient all day."
Earnhardt led 38 laps and moved into second with 12 laps to go. He had Dillon, a Richard Childress Racing driver subbing for the injured Tony Stewart, behind him and the two had a plan for the final lap. They never got to execute it, however.
"We had formed our run and I thought we had a real head of steam off of two, and then they got together behind us and that was that," Earnhardt said. "I was going to try something down the back straightaway, I just never got the chance."
McMurray knew he was in trouble until he saw Dillon's car get airborne. Dillon lost control of his car in a tight draft with Stenhouse. While spinning, he got hit by Casey Mears, sending his car flying through the air.
"I don't know how I was going to defend that," McMurray said of the Earnhardt-Dillon tandem.
When the caution flag flew, McMurray secured his seventh career victory and his second at Talladega.
"We finished second to a pretty good racecar driver on the plate tracks," Earnhardt said. "Jamie wins a lot of races here and at Daytona. He runs well here and he's got Hendrick power, and it's hard to outrun that."
McMurray was emotional in victory lane as he hugged his 2-year-old son Carter.
"I told (my wife), it would be so cool to have your kid in victory lane. That's so awesome," he said.
The race was fairly tame — by Talladega standards — until the final green-flag pit stops with 25 laps remaining. That's when the drivers got busy, dicing and jockeying for position and swapping the lead three-wide.
The first 77 laps were fairly uneventful, with Kenseth, Johnson and Earnhardt Jr. swapping the lead while Chase contender Kevin Harvick hung around the back.
The first wreck occurred on Lap 78 when Marcos Ambrose lost control of his car while running in the outside lane, spun across the track and slammed into the car of Juan Pablo Montoya. Surprisingly, they were the only two drivers involved in the crash.
The incident allowed Kyle Busch to get back onto the lead lap. He had fallen a lap down when he got blocked on pit road and missed his pit stall, forcing him to pit twice.
Danica Patrick was in contention to win, running in the top 10 much of the race, until she was nabbed for speeding on her final pit stop. Patrick hit pit road too hot and then swerved on pit road, prompting Kenseth to call her a "derelict."

text: BUSINESS Reuters opens virtual news bureau 5:00 AM PDT 10/17/2006 by Reuters , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty Reuters Group Plc is opening a news bureau in the simulation game Second Life this week, joining a race by corporate name brands to take part in the hottest virtual world on the Internet.Reuters plans to begin publishing text, photo and video news from the outside world for Second Life members and news of Second Life for real world readers who visit a Reuters news site at: http://secondlife.reuters.com/Created by Linden Lab in San Francisco, Second Life is the closest thing to a parallel universe existing on the Internet. Akin to the original city-building game SimCity, Second Life is a virtual, three-dimensional world where users create and dress up characters, buy property and interact with other players.More than 900,000 users have signed up to build homes, form neighborhoods and live out alternative versions of their lives in the 3D, computer-generated world. Players buy and sell goods and services using a virtual currency, known as Linden Dollars. An online marketplace allows users to convert the currency into real U.S. dollars, enabling users to earn real money from their activities.Adam Pasick, a Reuters' media correspondent based in London, will serve as the news organization's first virtual bureau chief, using a personal avatar, or animated character, called "Adam Reuters," in keeping with the game's naming system."As strange as it might seem, it's not that different from being a reporter in the real world," Pasick said. "Once you get used to it -- it becomes very much like the job I have been doing for years."Car maker Toyota, music label Sony BMG, computer maker Sun Microsystems, and technology news company Cnet are among the companies taking part in Second Life. Adidas and American Apparel sell clothes and accessories for people to dress their avatars. Starwood Hotels has built a virtual version of "aloft," a new hotel chain it plans to open in the real world in 2008.Reuters will have journalists reporting and writing financial and cultural stories within and about Second Life as part of the London-based company's strategy to reach new audiences with the latest digital technologies."In Second Life, we're making Reuters part of a new generation," Reuters CEO Tom Glocer said in a statement. "We're playing an active role in this community by bringing the outside world into Second Life and vice versa."Second Life citizens can stay tuned to the latest headlines by using a feature called the Reuters News Center, a mobile device that users can carry inside the virtual environment. Stories will focus on both the fast-growing economy and culture of Second Life and also include links to Reuters news feeds from the outside world, ranging from Baghdad to Wall Street.Pasick said Reuters was not bending any editorial rules to operate in a world that blends fiction with reality."Being unbiased, being accurate, being fast, all the things that Reuters strives for, they hold true in just about any environment in which you would want to report the news," he said.Residents of Second Life who read a Reuters story that interests them can, with the click of a button, go to a community center called Reuters Atrium to meet others to discuss the latest events in both the real and virtual worlds.

RUSTENBURG, South Africa – Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. But US coach Bob Bradley makes no bones about how far the US can go in this World Cup.
"We're capable, if we continue to build on the successes so far, we can go to the end," the US head coach said on Friday ahead of his team's Round of 16 match against Ghana at Royal Bafokeng Stadium.
To the World Cup final? Really? Yes, Bradley said. He honestly believes that his troops have the makeup to go all the way to the end of this tournament. No US team has ever advanced that far, not even the 1930 team that went to the semifinals of the first-ever World Cup.
"We believe that working for the team and working for each other is important, but it would be an unfair assessment of our team to stop there," he explained. "We have some individual players who have made the kind of special plays that you need to go far in a tournament or win championships."
There's still work to be done, of course, Bradley pointed out. The Americans must get past a tough Ghana side on Saturday, one that is well organized, talented and athletic. The Black Stars are the last remaining African team in the tournament, and they are every bit as confident as this American side. Worse, they're unpredictable. And the US need to take that into account.
"You think they're going to pass, and the last second they try to dribble," Bradley said. "You think they're going to go left, and they surprise you and go right. The ability that players have, that's part of their quality – talented players who are creative and we're not really sure what they're going to do."
Regardless, Bradley said, his team is aware of the opportunity they have, to defeat Ghana and get a shot at the semifinals. Then, perhaps, to go where no US squad has ever gone before.
"We try hard not to get ahead of ourselves," Bradley explained, "but at the same time, if everybody gives their best effort, if everybody puts everything they have into it, if things go our way, we can go far."

As an economic intern for the U.S. State Department at the American Embassy in Rome, Penn State senior Eleanor Polley attended conferences and conducted research.
From May through August, attending conferences between U.S. and Italian officials was a big part of Polley's role. The sessions provided an overview of the Italian economy -- what it had done in past years and what was expected in the future.
"The Italian economy has been struggling, so it was really interesting to see how the United States wanted to fit into it," she said.
Polley also joined Foreign Service officers in attending meetings within the economic department of the embassy to discuss both the American and Italian news -- reading Italian newspapers and staying current on events was one of her daily tasks.
She researched the developing relationship between the economic departments of the United States and Italy, as well as key issues that influence their economies, such as trade agreements.
In addition to the bilateral economic situation, Polley's research focused on the U.S. Embassy's desire to present a more sustainable image. She concentrated on new green initiatives that have resulted from growing global environmental concerns.
The Cortland, N.Y., native has invested time in Penn State's community, environment and development courses, which emphasize the value of studying nations and events that have formed policies that affect current events and societies -- time well spent, according to Polley.
"Some of the conflicts that were covered in class could easily be applied to my research topics in Italy and issues I was reading about in the news," she said. "It was interesting to relate the current events to what I had been studying, and it helped to bring that knowledge to the internship."
