...This “more refined depth,” these brushstrokes and drips that Fairey says he adds to prints intended for sale in galleries, are the result of a freedom from the time constraints of the street, where Fairey runs the risk of arrest if he dallies too long. The artist has been arrested 15 times, most recently right as he was about to enter the ICA last Friday on his way to DJ part of their Experiment series. The outstanding warrants for vandalism on which he was arrested and his constant drive to bomb cities he visits...
...Soto cites Fairey’s generosity to charities as being among the factors that save him from the same degree of condemnation with which other more avaricious artists have met.

...order to spread the love. At Louis Martin Jewelers in New York City, for example, you can find the back room filled with sparkling rings and necklaces. "Last year, this was the high-end room," says Martin, the owner. "Now, it's the markdown room." Everything's on sale - for example, a $2,500, 18-karat-gold, diamond and amethyst ring now costs $597.

Since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1996 by Ian Wilmut at the Roslin Institute in Scotland, scientists around the world have cloned everything from cats, monkeys and fruit flies to horses, rabbits, cows and wolves - mostly for non-commercial uses. Dogs are notoriously complex to clone, and Korea is the only country where researchers have successfully done the deed. (See pictures of presidential First Dogs...
...Kindle 2, which goes on sale ($359) at the end of the month exclusively at Amazon, is almost half as thin (.36 inch) and more capacious (holds more than 1,500 books) than its predecessor, with a sleek, Apple-like aluminum back. While its six-inch screen is the same size as the former model and still cannot render color, it will now display16 shades of gray, versus 4 in the original. That should improve the crispness of text, images and photos. Amazon also claims the new Kindle's battery can hold a charge 25% longer than the 1.0 version...
