Russia’s business elite also has a strong showing on the Power Map as it includes the likes of Gazprom CEO Aleksey Miller, Rosneft President Igor Sechin and the heads of other big companies dealing in natural resources energy and telecom.The co-owner of the biggest online company in Russia, Mail.ru Group, Yury Milner, who is an investor in an investor in Facebook, Twitter and other global Internet brands, also made it to the list.Milner’s partner at Mail.ru and Russia’s richest man, Alisher Usmanov, whose fortune is estimated at US$18.1 billion, predictably reserved a spot on the list.Unexpectedly, the magazine’s Top-500 also includes Semyon Mogilevich, who also represents Russia on the FBI’s list of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives and is considered to be the “boss of bosses” of the Russian mafia by the US and European law enforcement officers.Mogilevich, who is also known as Sergey Shnaider, is suspected of involvement in illegal arms trade, drug and sex trafficking as well as money laundering.The list is arranged in alphabetic order and is dominated by Americans, occupying 142 positions. Men far outshone females in the rankings with just 50 spot on the Power Map going to women. … Read More

Is there a place for the mentally ill in pro sports?
It’s May 13, 2010, and the working media is churning through the visitors’ locker room of Boston’s TD Garden: notepads and mics in hand, elbows flared, eyes straight ahead. LeBron James sits at his locker; his eyes vacant, his body deflated. His Cavaliers have just been eliminated from the NBA playoffs. For the second consecutive year, the team posted the best record in the league and James was awarded the MVP; for the second consecutive year, they have nothing to show for it. James, at this point, is only 26-years-old and already one of the most famous athletes on the planet; his potential is boundless. He’ll be a free agent come summer, and as of that moment, he’s the most wanted man in sports.Continue Reading… … Read More

The news left him “shocked and afraid” and “scared that the police would break into his house and possibly harm him based on this mistake,” Van says in the complaint.Continue Reading… … Read More
