U.S. News: For better or worse, the Internet is radically changing dating and romance in America(9/29/03): "Across the country, a record 40 percent of American adults are single, making them one of the fastest-growing segments of U.S. households today. And in the search for love, or at least a decent date, fully half of them-- 40 million Americans--visited an online site last month. It is, researchers say, nothing short of a social revolution. 'We're in a period of dramatic change in our mating practices,' says Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, codirector of the National Marriage Project at Rutgers University and author of Why There Are No Good Men Left.

Artist turns animals into everyday objects

Ananova - A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects. Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles. Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point.

'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"

The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."
