Mark down another casualty on the list of book-to-movie adaptations. Originally the set piece of Susan Cooper's five book series of myth and fable, The Seeker: The Dark is Rising"" has been mangled in that special way only Hollywood screenwriters seem capable. Never mind about whether the movie follows the book (it doesn't), it's just a poor movie. Even beautiful cinematography and a decent musical score can't save it.
Our sun powers itself with burning plasma, radiating enough energy to warm the planets and light up the solar system.
Two kids and a toy rabbit are going to save the world, and they're going to do it with their keen understanding of hyperspace.

At first the exhibit seems small. Most of the works in the New York City Life etchings of John Sloan are postcard-sized. From a distance, they look like old photographs. But walk up closer and the pen strokes begin to show and details pop out. These scenes of city life, some sketched a hundred years ago, range from whimsical""young ladies giggling at a penny peep-show""to sober scenes of Depression-era poverty.
Imagine a world where 20 percent of the human genome is patented. A world in which people have no right to their own tissues. Researchers publish false findings in peer-reviewed journals, and universities pay for discoveries with public dollars and then turn around and profit off them. Imagine a world where transgenic animals are created for research, for art and for pets.
Big discoveries are rare in research labs. Most of the time, scientists have to try over and over again to achieve the effect they want. Drugs are especially tricky, since even effective drugs can have toxic side effects. Fiddling with the molecular structure can improve a drug—or make it worse. Up until now, those attempts to tweak existing drugs focused on the carbon chemistry of medicine. Like humans, medicines are made up mostly of carbon.

Drug research takes a lot of time. The process of creating a new drug candidate takes up to six months of tedious chemistry, and most candidates produced end up without therapeutic effects. But a recent discovery in UW-Madison's pharmacy department may change all that.
