...first project that Hagebölling presented was “Percussive Planet,” a collaboration with musician Martin Grubingers in Bonn that combined live digital animation with the pieces of 35 classical and contemporary composers. Grubinger’s musicians played together on stage against a backdrop of flashing animation created by VJ software, the same kind used in today’s nightclubs and bars. Enormous multi-colored shapes and lines streamed across the screen, all created in real-time by Hagebölling’s students as a visual response to Grubingers?...
...what can Woods do to stay focused on his golf game? Before we give out psychological advice to the embattled golf superstar, let us be the first to admit that he probably doesn't need it. Until he proves otherwise, Woods is still the mentally toughest athlete on the planet. "He wrote the book that we're all using," says Gio Valiante, author of Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game, who is currently acting as golf shrink for Camilo Villegas, one of the best young players on the PGA Tour.

If we're going to avoid choking on what McEwan calls the "hot breath of civilization," we're going to have to harness human nature, in all its selfishness, mendacity - and occasional genius...
...seems that Brin decided this year that the company could no longer abide the level of censorship, and hacking, and e-mail pilfering that takes place behind Beijing's Great Firewall. The showdown comes at a time when the most important economic relationship on the planet is getting frayed, as Washington and Beijing swap accusations about trade protection and currency values. Google and other technology companies have long seen China as a key source of future success. But on free speech, trade and just about any other matter that companies care about, China plays by its own rules. As Google...
