...Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiyah a spent force, as some experts have suggested?The Indonesian authorities have been successful in eliminating and detaining the JI leadership, but I think they also say that at the same time they are seeing proselytizing and expansion of the organization. I think you should be cautious about making some sort of generalized assessment...
...movie is about Namsoon (Ha Ji-won), a woman detective on the tail of a preternatural rogue whom she falls in a kind of love with but is destined to battle at the end. This sweet-faced sleuth both uses her cuteness and fights against it. Facing down one tough guy, she poses the rhetorical question: "Want a taste of a bitch who?s really lost her mind?" Surrounded by a cast of overactors (who provide way too much burly comic relief for my taste), Namsoon anchors a movie that straddles genres. Think of a Raymond Chandler yarn reimagined...
...event here is a simple act of generosity: a Japanese man (Kôji Yakusho), on a hunt in Morocco, gives his local guide his Winchester rifle as a present.

He fires, critically wounding one of the tourists inside...

Archaeologists found evidence of a moat and city walls, partially destroyed by water from a nearby river, but said they need to carry out further excavations to determine the city's precise...
...Watching individual proteins being synthesized offers great opportunities for further research,” Zhuang said. “Single molecule detection is still very new. There are a lot of fundamental types of processes that can take advantage of this type of experiment,” said Ji Yu, a research scientist that worked with Xie on the study. The researchers were able to observe the protein production process by using fluorescent markers that will signal protein production. This enabled them to observe under a microscope a live cell expressing individual genes, and to count the protein molecules...
