Contrasting Styles of Obama, Prince, and Tiger Woods
Culturevital President Barack Obama's high-tech savvy style helped win the 2008 presidential election. Obama's understanding of the potential of social media to communicate and to raise funds, shines a spotlight on his knowledge of today's high technology. Obama's presidential victory was due, in a large part, to his strategic use of online media, which allowed him to deliver his message to millions of voters quickly and simutaniously. His powerful techno-demographic appeal fashioned his triumph into the first presidential election that was won on the Internet. And his high-tech savvy style continued to show during October 2009, when the Nobel Peace Prize winner announced plans to invest billions of dollars in energy-efficiency grants for "smart meters," high tech transformers, and other advanced devices that will promote upgrades to the nation's electric grid and will make it easier to integrate solar and wind elements as forms of renewable energy. The former Senator of Illinois was elected 44th president of the United States on November 4, 2008 as his message of change resonated with Americans all across the nation. Obama's campaign speeches distanced him from the political culture that he said prizes the inconsequential at the expense of the important. Obama challenged voters to rise above cynicism and selfishness. He offered words of inspiration and hope for a new politics of citizen engagement that can transform the country. Obama's vibrant style has generated considerable enthusiasm with independents, middle-age Iowans, and young students on college campuses as a president who promises the sharpest break from the polarized politics of the past decade.

Six current Universal Motown Records singers - Melanie Fiona, Kem, Shontelle, Forever The Sickest Kids, Vita Chambers and Hal Linton - will perform classics from the golden era of Motown. Jadyn Maria, another Motown singer-songwriter, will sing the national anthem.
- Indianapolis Colts quarterback and three-time MVP Peyton Manning delivered another milstone performance Sunday, keeping Indy's winning streak intact by winning 20-17. Colts Joseph Addai produced the game's second score with 7:11 to go, and Houston's Kris Brown missed a 42-yard field goal as time expired, producing cheers from the fans. The Colts have won eight games so far, and are ahead in their division. Next up - the New England Patriots come to town to meet the Colts.
- Detroit Pistions will have to do without small forward Tayshaun Prince for the time being. The Pistons announced Saturday, after an MRI exam confirmed the injury, that Prince will be out indefinitely due to a small disk rupture in his lower back. Prince's streak of 436 consecutive starts ended Tuesday night, November 3rd, in a home victory over the Orlando Magic. He missed the next two games - both losses - and he has been replaced in the lineup by rookie Jonas Jerebko, who has been backed up by first-round pick Austin Daye. Also, Pistons Rip Hamilton will miss his sixth straight game with a severely sprained right ankle, and he said before Friday night's loss at Orlando that he wasn't close to returning.
- LeBron James, the NBA sharp shooter, reportedly still hasn't signed a contract extension to play for Cleveland. The Cavaliers offered James a contract extension on July 18, and James can sign the extension offer anytime before June 30, 2010. The 24-year-old James will make $15.7 million next season and has a one-year option for $17.1 million. But came he stay focused long enough to truly earn his NBA pay? James told reporters, "I've never crossed paths with Braylon (Edwards) before, but it seems there is a little jealousy going on with Braylon and me and my friends." The Cleveland Cavaliers star's statement came after he called NFL Cleveland Brown receiver Braylon Edwards "childish" for allegedly punching one of James' friends at a club in early October.
