Its normal to get a little teary in there, James Turrell reassures me as I sign a waiver before lying down on a bed that slides into a sphere that looks like a cross between an MRI scanner and a UFO. Youre also agreeing to give me a good review when you sign that too, jokes the American artist.

The waiver confirms that I dont have epilepsy, a pacemaker or claustrophobia his 2010 artwork Bindu Shards could potentially trigger any of these things. Im in a tight, enclosed space and there are bright, pulsating lights making me lose not just my sense of depth, but any idea of whether my eyes are open or closed.

It would be easy to describe the cell as a light show, but its far more than that. The real show is happening inside my head. It doesnt actually change, its your perception that changes, says Turrell. This is behind-the-eye seeing. All those things you see there are not projected on that dome theres nothing there at all.

Part of his Perceptual Cells series, Bindu Shards is one of the major works that make up the Turrell retrospective at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra. While intense, the cell is designed to induce the state of mind that occurs in the early stages of meditation the sort of drifting off sensation that happens when you gaze into a fireplace.

One of things Ive always been interested in is the theta state, says Turrell. Thats thinking, but not thinking in words. The alpha state and theta state occur naturally on the path to rest and sleep, he explains, and the light and sound in the cell prompts the brainwave entrainment that makes that happen.

While all this may sound a bit bizarre, Turrell has a wealth of knowledge to back up his work, including a degree in perceptual psychology and another in mathematics. But while his art revolves around various scientific concepts, he does not have the same intent as a scientist. I know that science is very interested in answers, and Im just happy with a good question, he says.

Turrell is also a trained pilot and the influence of flying can be felt in several of his works that induce a sensation of floating in space. It was while flying his plane over the Arizona desert that he spotted Roden Crater, an inactive volcano that has become the centre of his lifetimes work. With the help of astronomers, he turned the crater into a naked-eye observatory, with tunnels connecting various other installation spaces. Still a work in progress, the crater is a much sought-after experience open only to friends and special guests of the artist.

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. - A weekend fire at a Wheat Ridge carpet cleaning business has been ruled arson, a fire official said Monday.

The fire occurred Saturday night at 4900 Iris St., which houses Be Green Carpet Cleaning, said Scott Pribble, spokesman for the Arvada Fire Protection District, which serves north Wheat Ridge.

The fire was started in "multiple places" inside the carpet cleaning firm, which is on the west side of the two-unit commercial building.

"We have a couple of people of interest that we're tracking down, trying to figure things out and chasing down leads at this point," Pribble said.

Arvada Fire is working with the Wheat Ridge police "to find who set the fire," he added.

The arson caused substantial damage, including fire and smoke damage. The smoke damage spread through out the building, including into a fine-art printing firm, Infinite Editions, on the east side of the building, Pribble said.

An elderly woman escaped serious injury after inadvertently driving her car over a Masterton carpark retaining wall and in to a Chapel St gutter a metre below yesterday.

Firefighters, ambulance officers and police were scrambled to the crash scene near the corner of Chapel and Russell streets shortly after noon and the flow of traffic was briefly slowed as the woman was removed from her vehicle and the site cleared yesterday.

Masterton traffic policing Sergeant Chris Megaw said the woman had mistakenly driven her Mazda Demio vehicle over the top of a metre-high retaining wall and through a hedge in the Warehouse carpark from a space bordering the Chapel St parking area.

"She's come off the carpark and onto the footpath, spun around, and the car's ended up across the gutter."

Mr Megaw said the woman had not received any serious injuries in the crash and was taken to hospital by ambulance for further assessment.

There were no other vehicles involved in the incident, he said.

HAIKOU, China, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- The Swedish winner of the Memory World Championships in China performed brain-straining feats including memorizing 26 decks of cards.

Jonas von Essen, 23, who won his second consecutive title during the Dec. 10-14 event in Haikou, defeated German rival Simon Reinhard in mind-bending events including memorizing the order of 26 decks of cards in one hour.

"It was absolutely incredibly exciting until the very end. I managed to reach my absolute highest level and beat the points record. In this way the victory is even greater," von Essen told the Skaraborgs Allehanda newspaper.

Von Essen's performance helped propel the Swedish team to the top of the event's team rankings. Coach Idriz Zogaj called the accomplishment a "victory without equal."

Von Essen told The Local in 2012 he trained his memory for four hours each day to boost his memorization skills.

"People always ask me when I realized I had a good memory, but I tell them that I never did. It's just a question of training. My memory was just like anyone else's," he said.

Swede crowned Memory World Champion

The battle moved quickly as the players drew cards from their decks, powered up their monsters, and unleashed attacks.

Tim Skalland, the adult leader of the group of Pokmon enthusiasts, and 13-year-old Nic Ashland were engaged in a friendly contest. Skalland was using a deck that relied on a special attack of a weasel-like Pokmon called a Weavile, and Nic was playing a deck centered around a frog-like variety of the fictional monsters called Poliwags.

Skallands deck let him do a lot of damage, but he nearly ran out of cards which causes a loss in the game before he beat Nic.

The battle took place Sunday at the normal weekly meeting of the Corvallis Pokmon League at the Corvallis Elks Lodge. The group plays a card game version of the Japanese video game about humans training and putting pet monsters called Pokmon into battles.

According to Skalland, the crowd of around 10 was half the size of an average Sunday for the group, which has met in various locations in Corvallis since at least 2005. Most of the players are under 14, but there are a few adults, like Skalland, who play.

On Saturday the group hosted a city championship event that drew more than 50 players, some from as far away as Portland and Medford. They also four times a year host events where people can buy and play with new sets of cards before they are released to the general public.

Pokmon is a huge franchise. Theres kids and adults now that love it because it has been around so long, said Skalland, who is working on a doctorate in statistics at Oregon State University.

Skalland said the card game has remained popular because it is part of a franchise that includes video games and animated shows, but it is also popular because it is meant for kids and so is cheaper than other competitive card games.

Skalland said the game is fun and teaches everything from strategy and probability to critical thinking and good sportsmanship.

The Pokmon community is one of the best communities, he said. Thats one of the cool things about the game.
