Movie Review

The Hunted

For many years now, but particularly since the gravity-defying theatrics of The Matrix (1999) and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), most representations of violence in big-budget Hollywood movies have been defined more by their balletic beauty than by their gritty realism. Slow motion and rapid editing have been de rigueur since Arthur Penns Bonnie and Clyde (1967 ... ...

Nothing will ever completely replace playing the game I love, however I feel like I'm starting a new adventure and I'm genuinely excited about what lies ahead. I'm fortunate to have been given many opportunities throughout my career and now I feel it's my time to give back.

New Malaria Drug Shows Promise in Animal Tests

ST. LOUIS, MO U.S. researchers have developed a new fast-acting drug against malaria that appears to avoid the problem with current medicines, which often lose their effectiveness against increasingly drug-resistant strains of malaria parasites, called Plasmodium.

Scientists say the new malaria medicine may have a decisive edge against this persistent tropical-world killer.

Michael Riscoe of Oregon Health and Science University, in the U.S. Northwest, says the new drug, known as ELQ-300, targets the mitochondria -- energy-producing structures in the parasite's cells -- and the DNA building blocks they produce.

(Image courtesy of Michael Riscoe) "So the Plasmodium mitochondrion serves as a factory to make these DNA building blocks, but this is completely blocked by ELQ-300," explains Riscoe. "Studies show that the drug acts very quickly to shut down this process. In fact, (in) only about 10 minutes.rdquo;

Perhaps the biggest obstacle in the fight against malaria, Riscoe adds, is the Plasmodium parasite's ability to mutate and develop resistance to each new drug used against the disease. ...
