Sponsored by:  By John McNeilCHIRSTCHURCH, NZ — Second Life is a three-dimensional imaginary world built and populated by seven million real people. Since it opened on the internet in 2003, it has grown explosively to become a vast digital continent on which people buy and sell property, carry out business and pursue similar leisure activities to those in real life. Residents exist in Second Life as “avatars” – 3D representations they construct which might or might not correspond to their real-life selves. Through these avatars they can explore, meet other residents, socialise, participate in individual and group activities and create and trade items. READ IT ALL HERE: http://www.spcm.org/Journal...

Sponsored by:  Ten thousand young Chechens urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to run for a third term on June 12 in Grozny. Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov told Kommersant correspondent Musa Muradov why he wants Putin to stay.
We Should Beg Him on Our Knees to Run the State Vladimir Putin recently hinted that the next president may be one of the governors… I haven't heard that. My opinion is that, if we want to preserve the integrity of Russia, if we want Russia to be a great power, Putin should be president. Why can Kazakhstan have a president-for-life? Or Turkmenistan? Why can't Russia have one too? READ IT ALL HERE: http://www.kommersant.com/p774986...

Sponsored by: By Wade Roush A thunderhead towers at knee level, throwing tiny lightning bolts at my shoes. I'm standing--rather, my avatar is standing--astride a giant map [SLurl] of the continental United States, and southern Illinois, at my feet, is evidently getting a good April shower. The weather is nicer on the East Coast: I can see pillowy cumulus clouds floating over Boston and New York, a few virtual meters away. I turn around and look west toward Nevada. There isn't a raindrop in sight, of course; the region's eight-year drought is expected to go on indefinitely, thanks to global warming. But I notice something odd, and I walk over to investigate.
