Adult Swim recently released an experimental animation special, 'The Elephant,' just as the year is about to reach its end.

Seven wild Asiatic elephants were killed and a calf was injured when a high-speed passenger train collided with a herd in Assam, India.

The past year has not been a very good one for Australian museums and galleries, or indeed for performing companies, as my colleague in these pages Rosemary Neill has recently explained (November 29).
