...first way is by making the technology way better. After all, 3-D entertainment is nothing new. The early 1950s were flooded with 3-D movies, and the technology has made an occasional comeback ever since. (The highest-grossing 3-D film, oddly, was 1970's The Stewardesses, which made $27 million.) Each time, though, it's done in by the same complaints: poor image quality and headaches and eyestrain from extended viewing. Early reviews of the new models from Sony and Panasonic suggest they've solved the problem. Both use glasses that contain tiny shutters, opening and closing...
...million, six-year trial, which involved more than 16,000 people in Thailand - the largest AIDS-vaccine trial ever conducted - found that an experimental vaccine was 31% effective in preventing HIV infection. The volunteer group in the study was representative of the general Thai adult population, including low-risk, heterosexual adults. Calling the results of the trial a "significant scientific advance," officials at the World Health Organization said the results reinvigorated the stalled quest for a vaccine against AIDS, which is estimated to kill some 2 million people globally each year.

Christians aren't divided by political parties today, and yet there is definitely division. It's not unusual to run across liberals who say there's no way Jesus would ever be a Republican, or conservatives who preach that it's not possible to be both a good Christian and a Democrat. That's dreadful. It's so much bigger than politics. Jesus would have seen the Republican and Democratic parties like the money changers in the temple. They just didn't get it. Now, I'm going to vote for a pro-life candidate if given the choice...
...democracy, in the latter two cases). In Israel, democracy is very real, but the elections resulted in a right-wing coalition that has refused to freeze illegal settlements in Palestinian territories. This intransigence has led to a diplomatic stall across the region. The Palestinians seem as inept as ever, unable to present a united front for negotiations. The Syrians, who always seem almost-ready to make peace, seem less almost-ready than they did a few months ago. The other Arab states in the region, especially Saudi Arabia, have refused to provide diplomatic incentives to nudge the Israelis toward peace...
