Mark Zuckerberg’s 650 Million Friends (and counting)
       Back in June 2009, the globe’s potpourri of social-networking sites was extremely diverse:
Google’s Orkut dominated India and Brazil; Central and South America preferred Hi5; Maktoob was
king in the Arab world. The Vietnamese liked Zing, the Czechs loved Lidé, South Koreans surfed
Cyworld. Two years after that, and Facebook has stolen users away from its rivals very fast. It’s
completely knocked Hi5 off the map in former strongholds such as Peru, Mexico, and Thailand.
After a tense back-and-forth with Orkut in India, Facebook has emerged victorious. And it’s becoming
more popular in Armenia, Georgia, and the Netherlands, where local providers are making a
desperate last stand.
       There are some glaring exceptions to Facebook’s colonization kick. Russians continue to use
Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki, with Facebook a distant fourth in the rankings. China remains highly
committed to domestic sites such as Qzone and Renren. But for the rest of us, we’re living in
Zuckerberg’s world.

Life and the Movies
        Joey Potter looked at her friend Dawson Leery and she smiled sadly. “Life isn’t like a movie, Dawson,” she said. “We can’t write happy endings to all our relationships.”
       Joey was a pretty girl with long brown hair. Both Joey and Dawson were nearly sixteen years old. The two teenagers had problems. All teenagers have the same problems - life, love, school work, and parents. It isn’t easy to become an adult.
        Dawson loved movies. He had always loved movies. He took film classes in school. He made short movies himself. Dawson wanted to be a film director. His favorite director was Steven Spielberg. Dawson spent a lot of his free time filming with his video camera. He loved watching videos of great movies from the past. Most evenings, he watched movies with Joey.
      “These days, Dawson always wants us to behave like people in movies,” Joey thought. And life in the little seaside town of Capeside wasn’t like the movies.
        Joey looked at the handsome, blond boy who was sitting next to her. She thought about the years of their long friendship. They were best friends...

Brazilian Forces Claim Victory in Gang Haven


       RIO DE JANEIRO - In a quick and decisive military operation, Brazilian security forces took control of this city’s most notorious slum on Sunday, celebrating victory over drug gangs after a weeklong battle.

       In the early afternoon, the military police raised the flags of Brazil and Rio de Janeiro atop a building on the highest hill in the Alemão shantytown complex, providing a rare moment of happiness and celebration in a decades-long battle to rid this city’s violent slums of drug gangs.

       An air of calm and relief swept through the neighborhood, as residents opened their windows and began walking the streets. Dozens of children ran from their houses in shorts and bikinis to jump into a swimming pool that used to belong to a gang leader. Residents congregated around televisions in bars and restaurants, cheering for the police as if they were cheering for their favorite soccer teams. “Now the  community is ours,” Jovelino Ferreira, a 60-year-old pastor, said, his eyes filling with tears. “This time it will be different. We have to have faith. Many people who didn’t deserve have suffered here.”
