Worldhologram. NewScientist Marcus Chown DRIVING through the countryside south of Hanover, it would be easy to miss the GEO600 experiment. From the outside, it doesn't look much: in the corner of a field stands an assortment of boxy temporary buildings, from which two long trenches emerge, at a right angle to each other, covered with corrugated iron. Underneath the metal sheets, however, lies a detector that stretches for 600 metres.
For the past seven years, this German set-up has been looking for gravitational waves - ripples in space-time thrown off by super-dense astronomical objects such as neutron stars and black holes. GEO600 has not detected any gravitational waves so far, but it might inadvertently have made the most important discovery in physics for half a century. For many months, the GEO600 team-members had been scratching their heads over inexplicable noise that is plaguing their giant detector. The "holographic principle" challenges our sensibilities.

The Mysterious Light Of Tokihiro Sato. It sounds like a suspense novel. That, or a vaguely religious reference. But mysterious light is actually the theme of a new photography exhibition at the Frist Center in Nashville, Tenn. In the description of the show, titled "Presence or Absence: The Photographs of Tokihiro Sato," the artist is described as "one of Japan's most acclaimed and best-known contemporary artists"; his work has been widely exhibited around the world, although this is possibly his first time in Tennessee.

Retailers Revive the Market in Women’s Plus Sizes. Those stores that don’t carry bigger sizes? “Shame on you, baby, shame on you,” Ms. DeVoe said. “Every curvy girl that has a dollar is willing to spend that dollar.” So retailers are realizing. That same day, a division of the reported that 28 percent of the adult population was obese last year, the highest percentage yet. Almost two-thirds of American women are either overweight or obese, according to the most recent CDC figures.
As doctors and public health officials encourage Americans to slim down, the fashion industry is embracing Americans as they are. The standard clothing that most stores have focused on in recent years fits fewer and fewer people. “It just makes business sense,” said Ms. That is not always so easy for retailers venturing into the world of larger shoppers.
“One of the things that happens with plus-size women is, as a rule, they’re pretty under-served,” said Bill Bass, president of Sonsi, a social networking and retail site for heavier women. Cost is one issue. Greatest Band Name Ever [PIC] The Creators Project | James Powderly. The Creators Project: So, James, how do you define your job? It seems to defy categorization. James Powderly: I guess I’m a designer, somewhere between an artist and an engineer. I’ve had a bunch of jobs over the last ten years but they’ve always been focused on technology in some way. Over the last four years or so I’ve primarily worked on two projects; both of them are engineering projects involving technologies with creative applications. It sounds like you have a dream gig, but where do you get the funds to realize these types of projects? Evan Roth [another member of the EyeWriter team] and I began working together because we secured an art residency in New York City at a place called Eyebeam.
What do you mean by “fake”? Well, we actually don’t have a physical lab in a specific location; we just have the website. How did someone with your skill set choose creating artistic technology instead of making weapons or equally menacing objects? Can you briefly explain how the EyeWriter works?
