Der international renommierte österreichische Maler Christian Ludwig Attersee macht jedes Titelblatt der Jubiläumsausgabe zu einem Unikat
Ja, kann schon sein, dass man ihm seine künstlerischen Grenzüberschreitungen mitunter vorhält. Es ist nämlich so, sagt Christian Ludwig Attersee: "Ich muss doppelt so viel arbeiten, weil ich doppelt so viel geschimpft werde, eben weil ich derart viel mache." Mehr als 8500 Bilder hat er gemalt, mit wilden Pinselstrichen und wohlüberlegten Hieben die Leinwand, meist auch den Rahmen zugedeckt und diese erotisch-opulenten Farbräusche (fast) in aller Welt in Galerien und Museen, auf der Biennale von Venedig und auf der "documenta VI" in Kassel ausgestellt.

Palin demands $15m to search her own emails - The cost of transparency
US vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin isn't saying citizens interested in open government can't get access to her emails. She's just saying it will cost a little.
The office of the Alaska governor, which by state law is required to make such messages public, says it could cost more than $15m for anyone conducting an exhaustive search. Even then, Palin - who ran for governor on a platform of running a clean and transparent government - says requests won't be honored until November 17, two weeks after the presidential election is held.

Reading This Will Change Your Brain
Is technology changing our brains? A new study by UCLA neuroscientist Gary Small adds to a growing body of research that says it is. And according to Small's new book, "iBRAIN: Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind," a dramatic shift in how we gather information and communicate with one another has touched off an era of rapid evolution that may ultimately change the human brain as we know it. "Perhaps not since early man first discovered how to use a tool has the human brain been affected so quickly and so dramatically," he writes. "As the brain evolves and shifts its focus towards new technological skills, it drifts away from fundamental social skills."
