...Anne Kelly, federal Nationals M.P. in the Queensland seat of Dawson, got e-savvy after visiting a local school. Only one of the students she met read the paper - most got news online. "We had to adopt a more diverse approach to getting our message out," Kelly says. She needed an expert - and hired an 18-year-old. "He had a MySpace site done for me within an hour. He knows how to upload videos and get his friends onto the site. We call him our techno-gecko...
...with blinking exclamation points frames the opening credits, foreshadowing the film’s global subject matter. But Braun quickly makes it personal. His first quiet shots of the Darfur scenery are accompanied by one of so many heart-wrenching anecdotes. Braun explores the different avenues from which to approach a humanitarian crisis. Each subject draws on the resources he or she has available, and the film demonstrates why every little bit helps.

...Merck vaccine used a different approach, called cell-mediated immunity. Scientists inserted three HIV genes into an ordinary cold virus and injected it into the body. Immune-system dendritic cells would, it was hoped, gobble up the virus and then display its gene markers--along with those of the HIV. This would teach the immune system's T cells to recognize and kill AIDS-infected cells...
