Entity is the third panel in a triptych of pieces examining the relationship between the brain and the creative processes involved in dance. In 2002, McGregor's fascination with this topic led him to set up a research project entitled Choreography and Cognition with a team of five neuroscientists; the project was backed by a fellowship at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Cambridge University. The first product of this research was AtaXia (2004), named after the disabling physical condition. Partly inspired by a real ataxia sufferer, the piece examined the frailty of the brain-body connection. By forcing breakdowns...

But Japan's record does not leave critics confident: The current 2012 deadline is an extension granted after Japan missed its initial deadline of 2007. Key disposal facilities have yet to be built...
...Smithson, a senior fellow at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Washington, D.C., said that the technical difficulties and expenses for the cleanup are substantial, but that Japan has the technological base to get on with the project - if the political will is in place. "Not surprisingly," Smithson said, "the Chinese and some outside observers have criticized the snail's pace of destruction efforts." That pace has just gotten even slower, highlighting the difficulty the two countries continue to face in putting a nasty past behind them...
