What may really hurt these sequels, however, is that they are simply machines, designed to replicate themselves forever. None are organic, like The Lord of the Rings and the first two Godfather films, in which a complex story unfolded in lavish detail and made audiences gasp in fear and wonder...
...Matisse would be in nirvana if his spirit could travel to Brisbane's revamped Queensland Art Gallery and neighboring new Gallery of Modern Art. Designed to face the river, creating a large lagoon of light inside, this $A100 million cultural complex succeeds by placing art at the service of the architecture, then ever so gently shifting our view of it. Nowhere can this be better seen than with the opening Asia-Pacific Triennial, where the arts of Oceania shine on center stage.

Only about one of every 10,000 chemical compounds that are first tested end up as medicine cleared by the feds. Converting basic scientific research into effective medicines to treat complex diseases like cancer has also become more difficult the past several years with more expensive and longer drug trials, as well as higher failure rates. There's also a shortage in this country of what are called "translational researchers"-people with both medical and scientific degrees who have the expertise...
