Lifelong friends Adam (Ashton Kutcher) and Emma (Natalie Portman) attempt to avoid falling in love after falling into each other's beds in this comedy exploring the complexities and quirks of having friends with benefits. Adam was a typical, hormonal 14-year-old when he first came on to Emma at summer camp -- and got shot down in flames. In the years that followed, however, Adam and Emma continued to cross paths until, eventually, they both caved to their animal instincts. Despite an intense session of earth-shaking sex, however, Emma makes it clear to Adam that the last thing she wants is a committed relationship. And thanks to the fact that Adam's father (Kevin Kline), a fallen television star, has just begun dating his son's ex-girlfriend, the horrified bachelor has developed an aversion to monogamy as well. At first their casual stance on sex works great for both; Emma can focus on her career instead of allowing her emotions to dictate her decisions, and Adam can play the field without fear of hurting her feelings. Over time, though, a funny thing happens -- Adam begins to develop feelings for Emma that he never had for any of his countless conquests. Before they both know it, love has reared its ugly head and they've gotten too emotionally involved to cut the relationship off cold. But is commitment in the cards for the couple that always swore it would never get serious, or has the time come for them to finally part ways once and for all? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Robert Zemeckis directs this animated version of the Yuletide classic A Christmas Story. The story centers on Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey), a penny-pinching miser who cares nothing for the people around him, least of all his hopelessly downtrodden employee Bob Cratchit (Gary Oldman) and infectiously optimistic nephew, Fred (Colin Firth). On Christmas Eve, after a frightening encounter with the ghost of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, Scrooge is visited by three spirits -- the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come -- who take him on an eye-opening journey to expose the truths he is reluctant to face. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Wrong Turn director Rob Schmidt takes the helm for this thriller inspired by the grim true-life exploits of an alphabet-obsessed New York serial killer and starring Timothy Hutton, Cary Elwes, Eliza Dushku, and Michael Ironside. When Rochester, NY-based police investigator Megan Paige (Dushku) discovers that ten year old Carla Castillo was brutally raped and murdered in nearby Churchville, she becomes convinced that the department is dealing with a serial killer. Paige is a driven detective whose devotion to her job often crosses the border into obsession. Her fiancé, Kenneth Shine (Elwes), is a lieutenant with the Rochester Police Department, and as both jockey for the same promotion, the cracks in their relationship begin to show. Later, when Megan becomes haunted by visions of Carla and fails to solve the case, a concerned Captain Gullikson (Tom Noonan) takes her off of the case. Suffering a nervous breakdown shortly thereafter, Megan is diagnosed with adult onset of paranoid schizophrenia and placed in a psychiatric hospital, where she promptly breaks off her engagement to Kenneth.
Two years later, Megan has returned to the precinct as a records clerk, and Kenneth is now the head of the department. Over time, Megan begins developing a friendship with wheelchair-bound Richard Ledge (Hutton). When a local girl named Wendy Walsh is abducted, raped, and murdered in Webster, Megan convinces Kenneth to let her ride along with Detective Steven Harper (Tom Malloy) as an advisor to the case. But the gruesome nature of the case once again prompts strange visions for Megan. Now she is haunted by two murder victims, and to make matters worse, she's beginning to develop embarrassing involuntary ticks and stops taking her medication. As the hallucinations get worse and the case starts to run cold, Megan struggles to find the one piece of evidence that will lead them to the killer before her dark side takes over once again. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Jane Fonda, Felicity Huffman, and Lindsay Lohan star in director Garry Marshall's tale of a rebellious young woman who is sent to spend the summer with her grandmother when her frustrated mother fails to find a means of curbing her unruly behavior. Rachel (Lohan) is an out-of-control teen whose reckless drinking, foul mouth, and hysterical fits have become a constant source of embarrassment for her long-suffering mother, Lily (Huffman). When Rachel crashes her car, Lily determines that the only way to tame her savage daughter is to take her as far away from San Francisco as possible. Though Lily had once sworn never to return to the Idaho farm presided over by her demanding mother, Georgia (Jane Fonda), desperation has a funny way of dulling the pains of the past, and it's not long before Lily is packing Rachel in the car and setting out for potato country. Contrary to the common image of the sweet and doting grandmother, Georgia is a stern matriarch whose beliefs in the power of God and a hard day's work stand in stark contrast to the carefree lifestyle of the tempestuous Rachel. An interesting thing happens as the summer wears on, though; despite her initial efforts to disrupt the quiet Mormon community, Rachel's rage is gradually tempered as she learns the value of structure and responsibility. Later, as Rachel's protective walls begin to crumble and she begins to embrace compassion and kindness, the doors are opened for three generations of family to confront the long-buried secrets of their past and finally move forward in the healing process. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Credit cards and women on skates prove to be a dangerous mixture in this comedy. Frank Hopper (Jon Bon Jovi) is a former lawyer whose career has hit the skids, and he currently lives off the largesse of his more successful sister, Leona (Nora Dunn). Frank has dozens of business ideas, but has no way to finance them, until he heads out with his friend Carl (David Faustino) one evening and fills out a questionnaire in which he jokingly states his income is a million dollars a year. Suddenly Frank's mailbox is flooded with pre-approved credit cards, and with his new line of credit, Frank launches his dream project -- a women's hockey league. But it seems that the world is not yet ready for women playing professional ice hockey, and before long Frank is 300,000 dollars in debt, with a handful of credit agencies taking him to court to get back the money he's spent so far. Frank turns to his former girlfriend Jessica (Estella Warren), now a successful lawyer, to help him stay out of jail, but it seems their work is cut out for them when they learn Jessica's very competitive former beau Norman (Cary Elwes) is prosecuting Frank's case. National Lampoon's Pucked was directed by Arthur Hiller; it was his first directorial project since 1997's An Alan Smithee Film: Burn, Hollywood, Burn, for which Hiller opted not to take credit. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Ned (Jeremy Renner of Dahmer) is a proud member of the Aryan Brotherhood who has been admitted to a mental institution for his involvement in a racially motivated murder. Dr. Magnuson (Cary Elwes) and Johnny (Ethan Suplee) have trouble keeping Ned in line. Boisterous and belligerent, he's prone to childish tantrums when things don't go his way. Still, the other inmates, like Joey (Eddie Kaye Thomas) seem to look up to him. Ned's life at the facility is upended with the arrival of Rachael (Gabrielle Union of Bring It On), a beautiful young black woman who's brought in shouting German, and seems to believe that she's possessed by the spirit of Adolf Hitler. At first, Ned mocks her, and attempts to provoke her, but soon, his feelings toward Rachael turn surprisingly tender. Eventually, Ned and Rachael open up to each other, revealing the past traumas that left them in such a screwed up state. Ned, still reluctant to give up the accoutrements of skinhead life, tells Rachael about his imprisoned father and his unhappy foster care experiences, and Rachael tells him about being sexually abused, and reveals that she has a young daughter. When Ned is released from the hospital, he convinces Rachael to leave with him, but the couple finds life together on the outside difficult. Neo Ned also stars Steve Railsback and Sally Kirkland. It was written by Tim Boughn and directed by Van Fischer (Blink of an Eye, aka Urban Jungle).

Burke. Joshua Pollack (Justin Timberlake) has discovered a glitch in the system, and as a fledgling journalist he sees it as his duty to expose the corruption. When Pollack misjudges the depth of the authoritative decay and his girlfriend is hospitalized following a brutal attack by the alliance of crooked cops known as F.R.A.T., he soon decides to take action and prove that even those who believe themselves to be above the law still aren't beyond its reach. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Add Pope John Paul II to top of Queue
One of several dramatized tributes to the late pontiff to be telecast in 2005, the two-part CBS biopic Pope John Paul II is a remake of a popular Italian miniseries, and was filmed on location in Italy and Poland. The film begins with the attempted assassination of the pope on May 13, 1981, whereupon the story of the man once known as Karol Wojtyla is unfolded in flashback. The familiar highlights of Pope John Paul II's life and work are vividly realized: his early theatrical aspirations, his staunch resistance of both the Nazis and the Communist party in his native Poland, his meteoritic rise through the church ranks (at 38, he was his country's youngest bishop), and his ultimate ascendance to the Vatican throne in 1978. Also, this is one of the few English-language films to officer a meticulous recreation of the papal election process. Throughout much of the film, the pope's career is firmly linked with that of his countryman, Polish labor leader Lech Walesa; it can be inferred that without the input of both men, Poland would never have freed itself from Communist domination, nor would the Soviet empire have ultimately fallen. Cary Elwes plays John Paul from ages 18 through 50, whereupon Elwes morphs (quite literally, thanks to a brief -- and controversial -- special-effect sequence) into Jon Voight, who takes over as the older pope. Pope John Paul II was first telecast in two parts on December 4 and 7, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Together, Adam and Dr. Gordon attempt to piece together what has happened to them and who the sadistic madman behind their imprisonment is.

Some observers have described the made-for-cable The Riverman as a real-life Silence of the Lambs. Based on the book cowritten by Robert Keppel, formerly chief criminal investigator for the attorney general of Washington state, the film recounts Keppel's efforts to track down serial killer Gary Ridgeway, aka the Green River Killer. With 10 unsolved murders weighing on his mind, Keppel (played by Bruce Greenwood) agrees to a plan whereby an imprisoned mass murderer with a similar M.O. will be brought into the investigation in hopes of second-guessing the killer at large. Thus, Keppel travels to Florida, there to inaugurate a series of chilling interviews with the infamous Ted Bundy (Cary Elwes). Inasmuch as Bundy hopes that by helping track down the Green River Killer he himself will be able to escape the death penalty, Keppel finds himself between the proverbial rock and hard place: How can he secure Bundy's cooperation without making promises he cannot possibly keep? The Riverman was first telecast by the A&E network on September 6, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Adapted from author Gail Carson Levine's award-winning children's book of the same name, the Miramax-financed modern fantasy Ella Enchanted is directed by Tommy O'Haver and stars The Princess Diaries alumna Anne Hathaway. Ella (Hathaway) lives in a magical world in which each child, at the moment of their birth, is given a virtuous "gift" from a fairy godmother. Ella's so-called gift, however, is obedience. This birthright proves itself to be quite the curse once Ella finds herself in the hands of several unscrupulous characters whom she quite literally cannot disobey. Determined to gain control of her life and decisions, Ella sets off on a journey she hopes will end with the lifting of the curse in question. The path, however, isn't easy -- Ella must outwit a slew of unpleasant magical creatures ranging from ogres to talking books with evil plots. Though perilous, Ella's adventures turn out to be necessary obstacles in the path toward finding herself, and maybe even true love along the way. Ella Enchanted also features Cary Elwes, who has starred in a fantasy feature himself (the widely acclaimed The Princess Bride), Hugh Dancy, and Patrick Bergin, among others. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

A reporter might have to pay with her life for a big story in this independent crime drama. A small town is gripped with fear when a serial killer with an unusual way of doing his dirty work arrives on the scene. The killer stalks his victims for several days with a video camera before moving in for the kill -- and then sends a copy of the tape to his next victim. Jessie St. Clair (Rachael Leigh Cook) is an ambitious but inexperienced reporter working for a local television station who thinks covering this story could be a stepping stone to bigger things, and Jessie cynically milks the town's fear for all it's worth with the help of producer Jane Berger (Annabella Sciorra) and cameraman Rob (Kip Pardue). Jessie is upset to discover she has competition from Albert Bodine (Cary Elwes), who is covering the murders for a popular tabloid television series, but she soon has bigger things to worry about when she receives a video in the mail which indicates she's the killer's next intended target. American Crime was directed by Dan Mintz, who also served as cinematographer. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Uprising is based on the true story of the Jewish Fighting Organization, a courageous band of youthful Polish guerrillas and freedom fighters who refused to knuckle under to the Nazis during World War II. Led by schoolteacher Mordechai Anielewicz (Hank Azaria), the organization comes into being as the Warsaw Jewish ghetto is being systemically decimated and shipped off to the Treblinka death camp by the German occupational forces. From April 19 to May 16, 1943, Anielewicz' followers staged a valiant uprising, which -- though ultimately unsuccessful in stopping the Nazi "final solution" juggernaut -- inflicted an enormous amount of damage upon the enemy and enabled hundreds of Polish Jews to escape the gas ovens and crematoriums. Much of the story is based upon the eyewitness testimony of surviving freedom fighter Simha "Kazik" Rotem, portrayed in the film by Stephen Moyer. Director Jon Avnet brilliantly combines newly filmed scenes with digitally refashioned archival footage of the actual uprising. Filmed in Bratisla, Slovakia, and boasting an all-star cast, Uprising was shown in two-hour installments on November 4 and 5, 2001, over the NBC network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Peter Bogdanovich turns his sights on the 1920s for a fictitious look at the possible reasons for the death of silent movie producer Thomas Ince (played here by Cary Elwes) after spending a holiday with media tycoon William Randolph Hearst (played by Edward Herrmann). The film begins and ends on Ince's funeral, attended by best-selling novelist Elinor Glyn (Joanna Lumley), who was present when the young producer finally died and who leads the audience through the unsure details of what may have occurred to cause the tragedy. Then, through flashback, we see Elinor arriving on the dock to Hearst's party, which is attended by a number of Hollywood players. Among those in attendance are Ince, his business manager (Victor Slezak), and his irritating mistress (Claudia Harrison. Charlie Chaplin (played by British comic Eddie Izzard) is recovering from a box-office bomb and fearing his 16-year-old mistress is pregnant, not to mention that he is seeing Hearst's lady on the side, the vampish actress Marion Davies (played here by Kirsten Dunst).

Desperate, Jim signs a contract with Lifecorps, but his son dies before he can cash the check. With no further need for the money, Jim tries to cancel the contract, but discovers Lifecorps not only isn't interested, but that they want to harvest his organs sooner than originally agreed, forcing Jim to run for his life.

The torturous production of the classic 1922 vampire film Nosferatu is recreated in this stylized account of director F.W. Murnau and his obsession with creating realistic horror by any means necessary -- even if those means include actual bloodletting. The film begins as Murnau (John Malkovich) is ready to take his unauthorized interpretation of the Bram Stoker tale on location in Czechoslovakia. There, the director has arranged for his cast and crew to live in the same castle in which they will shoot their parts, as they all wait for their co-star, Max Schreck (Willem Dafoe) -- Murnau's choice to play Count Orlok -- to arrive. Their leader has warned them that Schreck is a student of the Stanislovsky method of performance and will not respond to them out-of-character. Nothing, however, can prepare them for the real thing: when the actor arrives, he's already in full Gothic regalia, asserting that he is indeed a vampire. Schreck makes good on his claims by terrorizing the cast and crew, attacking Murnau's original cinematographer (Wolfgang Muller) and plucking bats out of the air for midnight snacks. Director E. Elias Merhige previously made his name with his experimental theater productions and with his horrific film school thesis, Begotten. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Reviews & ratings
Don't even bother with Adecco. Aside from practicing ageism at the workplace, they won't even consider you if you're NOT currently employed (and looking for another company to work for). Antonio Vargas, one of their reps, places ads for job assignments that don't even exist. Don't bother with Adecco!

I saw the article in time out NY and was going through the list. I was having trouble downloading my resume and called Atrium whose receptionist couldn't have been less helpful and less pleasant. She informed me there was no other alternative than the guidelines posted. But the next agency I called couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. I suggest Atrium hire a new receptionist.

For real man??? I heard from my friend that used Bontemps for an assignment last month that she lies to her temporaries and make them feel that she is doing them a favor. Yo dude or dudette, she rips off her temps and I heard that her agency lies on their tax returns. Dat woman (questionable) ain't Kosher.

I am shocked to see Bon Temps on this list. Beatrice Kaufmann is really the worse recruiter there is. I worked with Bon Temps, and Beatrice made it very difficult for me to work. She kept calling the companies at least 4 times a day. The companies would eventually get fed up, and get rid of the Bon Temps account.
Beatrice is a money hungry slob. She lacks professionalism and she lacks the necessary skills to recruit. She would give me job descriptions, and when I arrive on the assignment the duties were completely different.
I worked day shifts and she would pay me $21 an hour and charge the company $36 to $38 an hour.

Atrium rarely places you for jobs over $18 and most of their jobs start at 12---- be ware before you waste your time.
Anonymous Tue Apr 19 2011 -
The owner of Bon Temps is a convicted felon, and she has a reputation for taking advantage of her temps. Be especially wary if you have an open unemployment claim- she will immediately lower your rate to the lowest legally allowed and will file false reports to the DOL if you question her. The $18-$45 rates quoted in the paragraph above are nowhere close to what she actually offers- I have spoken to numerous temps who have felt screwed ever since Bea took over operating her company post-prison. (FYI, before her arrest for 9/11 fraud, Bon Temps was run by some truly capable people and was a great place to work for. Now she pretty much runs it single handedly and is as crooked as they come.)

United in IT: Tech Culture Breaks Down Barriers Abroad
BackBy Deanna Hartley — August 2008
It is not uncommon for U.S.-based IT companies to get more than half their revenues from overseas markets, according to the Information Technology Association of America. Information technology has become a globally pervasive industry that goes beyond just computing and technology.Over the years, IT has impacted more than the bottom line of large organizations. From the U.S. and the U.K. to India and China, it has influenced the lifestyles and cultures of places from global IT hubs to the world's poorest regions.
IT as a Working Culture
It is estimated that the IT industry has spawned more than 15 million IT professionals worldwide, according to work by Capers Jones, chief scientist emeritus of Software Productivity Research. "The great challenge of IT in the 21st century is to continually create and sustain jobs," said John Bostick, CEO of dbaDIRECT.
The international IT industry has evolved over the years to suit different competencies that people of various nationalities bring to the table, said Vivek Nijhon, project director of global sourcing at London-based EquaTerra. "The industry is seeing a lot of the design of applications happening in Sweden, development in India and maintenance in China," he said.
Having worked in some of the world's IT hotspots, Alok Shende, director of consulting at Datamonitor in Hyderabad, India, said he has noticed an underlying IT working culture in cities such as San Francisco; Bangalore, India; Singapore; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and Shanghai, China. "Common to IT hubs is the economy built around IT business and innovation," Shende said.
"While the scope and scale between these hubs may vary, essentially they all have a common culture that is young, cosmopolitan in its attitude and focuses on innovation, speed and delivery."
This doesn't imply that the IT working culture is standardized across the globe. Nijhon uses firsthand experience and points to nuances in the IT culture of cities even within the same country. For instance, the IT culture in New Delhi tends to be more business-driven rather than technology-driven, Nijhon said. On the other hand, the IT culture of Bangalore, also known as the "IT capital of India," is client-focused.
Nijhon, who was raised in India, said IT professionals in New Delhi often are more interested in the business impact than the coding behind the program. The culture of the IT sector in Bangalore, on the other hand, tends to be customized to client accounts.
"[For instance], if you meet an individual who is supporting a bank in its technology needs, the person might be as aggressive as a banker and also conservative when it comes to suggesting new changes," he said. "On the other hand, [if you speak] to a person working on a Google account, you will find an individual who is ready to take risks to implement new technology."
IT as a Communications Conduit
It is an understatement to say that IT's effects are far-reaching; they facilitate communication and have the capacity to blur international boundaries and cultural divides. "Information technology has shrunk the world and brought people from different walks of life together by way of e-mails, chat, weblogs, as well as community and interest portals," Shende noted.
This can be especially true for people such as Mark Sunner, chief security analyst at MessageLabs, whose career has allowed him to travel internationally for several decades. Though he is based in the U.K., Sunner claims to live out of e-mail and said that access to the Internet is increasingly important because "you never feel like you're on your own with e-mail and Internet access."
This can be demonstrated by the fact that, as soon as a flight lands anywhere in the world, passengers reach for their cell phones or BlackBerrys to connect with people and catch up from the temporary lack of correspondence. "The ways in which people interact, not just IT people but more heavy residential Internet users, are sort of the same," Sunner said. "They want to do the same things: search, send e-mails. It's all about communication."
As the world grows more technology savvy, people expect more than modem or dial-up access, especially considering the types and quantity of documents that are sent back and forth. While international travelers expect Wi-Fi to be guaranteed in many countries, there are more remote locations where those who rely heavily on technology might be taken aback.
Sunner, for instance, was surprised to find himself sans access to both Wi-Fi and his BlackBerry in Oman, a country bordering the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. It took him a week to recover from the backlog of e-mails and messages created by the 48-hour lack of connectivity.
Then there are countries where people have trouble getting foreign technological devices to work. After an unplanned stopover at Osaka airport in Japan to avoid a typhoon, Sunner and his fellow passengers experienced technical difficulties when trying to notify family and friends of their whereabouts using triband cell phones.
"It seems that Japan has its own mechanisms to accommodate cell phone users, and phones that work in all territories including Japan are quite rare," Sunner said. In addition to the technical difficulties, Sunner ran into written and verbal language barriers in Japan and would have had to resort to using Wi-Fi to make a call had he not found British currency on his person to call his office in London.
Despite the fact that IT professionals are spread across the globe and speak a variety of languages, they communicate through a common language. "IT professionals speak a common language — computing — and IT can help reduce the culture divide," Nijhon said. That said, he noted that most IT professionals in countries such as India, China and Eastern Europe speak enough English to support IT discussions. "The somewhat similar business experience of IT is a starting point to mitigate cultural differences within the field," Bostick added.
Nijhon calls attention to a much bigger obstacle than language. "It's easy to solve language and cultural barriers with training," he said. What he views as the biggest obstacle facing IT professionals is their mindset toward business. "There needs to be a focus on the final business outcome rather than the impact of coding they are performing," Nijhon said. "They need to move from an IT-manager mindset to a business-manager mindset."
Impact of IT on Society
It would be short-sighted to say that IT doesn't affect culture. In some cases, a booming IT industry can go so far as to culturally revolutionize a city. Shende cites Bangalore as a classic example. Known as "the Silicon Valley of India," Bangalore is a software-development hotspot that has long been home to a mix of large Indian software companies such as Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro Technologies, as well as Western IT companies. The infiltration of IT has caused the city to see an influx of trained IT professionals, and thereby a shift in the general population from primarily retirees to urban, middle-class youth.
Bangalore has been known throughout modern history as a city with a good educational infrastructure, state enterprises that provide employment and salubrious weather that attracts retirees, Shende said. But it was the emergence of small-sized IT services companies that was the starting point of the city's revolution. "Till the mid-1980s, there was nothing distinctive about Bangalore that presented hints of the metamorphosis that the city was to undergo," he said.
In retrospect, Shende said that Bangalore was affected positively and negatively by the offshoring trend. "While [the city] gained tremendously by way of private investments, leading to employment and wealth creation in the city, [it also gave rise to] negatives such as infrastructure bottlenecks and declining quality of life," he said.
Nijhon echoed the existence of both positive and negative impacts: "On the one hand, there have been significant socioeconomic changes, including more independence for women and the move from joint families to smaller independent families," he said. "On the other hand, [I'm concerned that] the rapid pace of development of the IT industry in the city will overshadow the growth of other fields such as arts, economics and medicine."
The IT industry may not have a strong presence in some nations, but that doesn't mean IT hasn't played a role in shaping these cultures, as well. In most instances, the introduction of new technological devices in a city or country has improved the quality of life of its inhabitants.
Sunner cites the One Laptop Per Child program as an example of an organization that uses technology to advance the interests of society at large. Begun by MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte, this nonprofit organization envisioned and created the XO laptop, a $200 wireless Internet-enabled laptop with low power consumption. It was specifically designed as a learning tool for children in Third World countries, including regions in Nigeria and Colombia. The global education project aims to provide laptops to the nearly 2 billion children in the developing world who aren't afforded educational opportunities.
One of the program's biggest challenges is the expense of providing Internet access in certain territories where the organization plans to introduce the laptops. While the company continues to explore low-cost Internet options, the laptops now operate through a new, unproven Wi-Fi technology called "mesh." With mesh, if one person obtains Internet access, those nearby will share the same connection.
Sunner predicts that in the future, new and improved technological devices won't just be limited to people in the Western world. "A decade from now, these kinds of communication devices will absolutely be available in more remote territories, and the ramifications of that, we can't conceive," he said.
While educating and empowering children and adults through new technology is beneficial, Sunner said there could be negative effects when introducing them to Third World countries. Corruption and fraud are likely to prevail in areas where inhabitants live far below the poverty line, he said.
Some people, for example, can make more money through scam e-mails than their physically laborious jobs. "They may well be tempted," Sunner said. "It's naive not to expect some sort of backlash from these initiatives because [there's] such a massive imbalance in terms of people's ability to earn minimum wage. Yet, they're connected to the same communications medium."
Future of IT
A little more than a decade ago, it would have been hard to imagine the current rate of technological progress, let alone that the Internet would become ubiquitous. In the United States alone, a third of Internet users opted for wireless connectivity, using means such as Wi-Fi broadband or cell phone networks to surf the Internet and check e-mail, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
Around the world, however, Sunner has noticed a huge divide between free and expensive Wi-Fi access. He predicts that a decade from now, Wi-Fi access will be free and readily available at a host of international locations, including airport lounges. "Kids will look back on this time and think it's bonkers that we have to pay for Wi-Fi access," he said. He pointed to Apple's MacBook Air that has only Wi-Fi capabilities as a good indicator to the future of IT.
"The Internet is achieving in just a decade what maybe took centuries in the past," Sunner said. "Because of that breakneck speed, I don't think we can conceive quite where all this [technological innovation] is heading." 8

Rwanda: Advocating For Women Rights
Rwanda's First Lady, Mrs Jeannette Kagame, yesterday in Gabon, took part in the Dialogue for Action Africa, a conference on promotion of women rights.
12 June 2012
The dialogue, organized by Cecilia Attias, a seasoned activist for women's rights, brought together NGOs, representatives of the private and public sector as well as philanthropists.
First Ladies from Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Namibia, Senegal and the host, Sylvie Bongo Ondimba were among the key guests at the event.
Some of the key issues discussed included: Education for girls and women, women's access to business and entrepreneurship, health systems and maternal care as well as women as agents of peace.
During the round table held by the First Ladies to share experiences from their respective countries, Mrs. Kagame spoke about Imbuto Foundation for which she is the Patron. She explained the foundation's intervention and role as a catalyzer for change. Today, Imbuto foundation has narrowed its efforts to help the most vulnerable Rwandans.
While discussing Women as Agents of Peace, Mrs Kagame highlighted the journey to equality that Rwandan women went through and how unlike many others wasn't a tough one because of the support of the country's leadership. She also spoke about Rwanda's post Genocide transformation efforts.

Oregon State junior guard Jared Cunningham was named Bank of the West Pac-12 Men's Basketball Player of the Week for Jan. 23-29, commissioner Larry Scott announced on Monday, the second time he has won the award this season.
"It's a great honor to be named the Pac-12 Player of the Week," Cunningham said. "It was important for us to get a conference road win and it was extra special to do it in the Civil War against our rival. Our team has been working hard all season and we just keep fighting."
Cunningham scored a game-high 27 points and added seven rebounds and three assists to lead the Beavers to a 76-71 come-from-behind win over intrastate rival Oregon on Sunday in Eugene and became just the 36th player in Oregon State history to score 1,000 career points.

It seems that you can overclock way more than just your computer. A man in Kentucky has managed to overclock everything in his house, simply by increasing the frequency in his electric current. Inspired by the "measly" performance of all his electronics, Lance Hatler decided that 60Hz was not enough for his house. After a lot of trial and error, along with several trips to the emergency room, Hatler has managed to overclock his electrical current to 900MHz. Increasing this frequency any further caused minor fires and structural instability (no his house didn't bluescreen ). A mere example of all this extra power is Hatler's newfound ability to shred 2x4's (large pieces of wood) in his garbage disposal. Unfortunately, due to the extreme heat output of this overclock, Hatler had to put a gigantic CPU cooler on top of his house. His house maintains a balmy 115 degrees Fahrenheit. When asked what Hatler plans to do next, he claims he will break the 1GHz barrier with the help of liquid cooling. Source: Rajuabju
To Quote: Up to the '40's the iron laminations of rotors and stators of electric motors and generating equipment were poor quality and hysteresis losses were a major factor. (note how large old electric motors are compared to newer ones). Higher frequencies would have worsened the losses so up 'till then 25 Hz was common in Canada and the US. When better steel was used for laminations, north America changed to 60 Hz about 1950, the Europeans decided 50 Hz was the cat's meow.

The 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser has managed to update some of its safety features for 2007 and a few options that are new. The large SUV underwent several cosmetic upgrades in 2006 and the basic design of the vehicle remains the same for 2007. The Toyota Land Cruiser is Toyota's most-expensive SUV model and is considered a large SUV even though it is slightly smaller than the Toyota Sequoia. The Land Cruiser comes in one model and trim which is a 4-door four wheel drive.
Features, pricing, and specs for the 2005 Audi allroad quattro line, the very first to feature Audi's All Wheel Drive system.
The 2007 Toyota Tacoma is Toyota's entry in the pickup truck division of vehicles. The Tacoma comes in a number of trims and price ranges with a variety of options and configurations. The trims available are the Base, PreRunner, and X-Runner. All are available in rear-wheel and the Base trim comes in a four-wheel drive version as well. All are also available in a V-6 engine and all but the X-Runner come in an option for regular cab, access cab or double-cab. The prices range from just over $15,000 to just under $30,000 and the 2007 model features a number of small changes to the interior.
The 2007 Acura RDX was Acura's entry into the compact SUV market and its first appearance for 2007. The RDX has a turbocharged engine, all-wheel drive and superior handling and a navigation system complete with updated traffic information. The RDX comes in only one trim and it is a 4-door all-wheel drive base model.
The 2007 Honda Odyssey is a front-wheel drive minivan first introduced by Honda in 1999. Back in 2005 the minivan went through a major overhaul. Due to that, the 2007 has not changed much. Four trim levels are offered for the Odyssey: LX, EX, EX-L and Touring.
The 2007 Honda Ridgeline is a pickup truck that is one of the first ever designed with a built-in storage compartment in the bed. It is considered a mid-sized pickup. It can tow up to 5,000 pounds and comes with an all-wheel drive as standard. For 2007 Honda has introduced an additional trim in the RTX.
The 2007 Acura TSX is Honda's entry for a mid-sized sports sedan within their luxury division. The TSX is a front-wheel drive four-door sedan that is similar in design and appearance to the Honda Accord sold in Europe. The only major change or addition to the TSX for 2007 is the addition of a tire pressure monitoring system. The TSX is available only in its standard, base 4-door model.
The 2007 Acura MDX is Acura's mid-size SUV. It is also considered a luxury vehicle and it is generally loaded with exciting features. For 2007 the MDX has undergone some redesigning that have given the vehicle increased horsepower and added the Acura Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. The MDX also has a 5,000-pound tow rating which is new for 2007.
A brief background, specifications, and standard and optional features for the 2006 Volvo XC70. The solitary trim level features standard All-Wheel Drive (AWD.)

First announced alongside the PS4 during the PlayStation Meeting held earlier this year, the PlayStation App for iOS and Android will enable users to access many PSN features from their smartphones or tablets and also act as a multipurpose companion app for PS4.
Sony recently revealed that the app will be available as a free download from the App Store and Google Play on November 13th in North America and November 22nd in PAL territories.
Here's the full list of the PlayStation App's initial feature set courtesy of Sony's press release:
• Directly access various PSN features and information
• Users can access their own profile screen.
• Users can access/compare their own and friends' Trophy accomplishments.
• Exchange messages between PS4 systems, PlayStation 3 (PS3) systems, PlayStation Vita (PS Vita) systems, and mobile devices installed with PlayStation App.
• Access and filter friend profiles.
• Notify users about their friends' shared activities on "What's New".
• Notify PS4 users when they receive any new notifications or game invitations. Users can also display their lists of game items.
• Browse the official PlayStation website and access information
• Users can access the PlayStation official website to browse through news, blogs and game information. The language and content of the website will depend on the country the user's Sony Entertainment Network account is registered.
• PS4 Second Screen Feature
• Users can install PlayStation App on to their mobile devices to use as a second screen in supported games. For example on THE PLAYROOM, a title pre-installed in all PS4 systems that requires PlayStation Camera, users can draw pictures on their mobile device screens and flick them towards the TV. The images then appear as a 3D object within the game.
• Spectate other PS4 users' gameplay
• When users' friends upload or begin live streaming their gameplay on PS4 systems, the friends' activities are displayed on "What's New" of the PlayStation App screen. When users tap on this notification, they can boot pre-installed applications, such as browsers, to spectate the uploaded gameplay. Users can also post comments on gameplay screenshots, footage and live streams.
• Purchase game content on PlayStation Store
• Users can purchase game content while away from home and download it directly onto their PS4, PS3, and PS Vita systems. PlayStation Plus membership is required to use this feature on PS Vita.
• Use a mobile device as a simple remote to control the PS4 system
• Once installed, users can use their PlayStation App to control their PS4 system as long as both devices have access to the same Wi-Fi access point. For example, users can switch their PS4 system to standby mode, startup their PS4 system from standby mode, and use their mobile phone as a keyboard for their PS4 system.
What is your favourite feature of the PlayStation App? Let us know in the comments.

IIHF World U18 Championship (April, 2013) |
The "Bolshoy" Ice Dome is part of the complex of facilities operated by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). The complex includes the «Bolshoy» Ice Dome, the "Shayba" Arena and a training rink. All Ice Hockey venues are located in close proximity to one other, providing maximum comfort for athletes and guests of the Games.
The "Bolshoy" Ice Dome complex will have a capacity of 12,000 seats and will be covered by a dome. The design of the "Bolshoy" Ice Dome is based on the image of a frozen drop and will be principally silver once complete.
After the Games, the "Bolshoy" Ice Dome will serve as an ultra-modern, world-class multi-purpose sports and entertainment center.
The name of the Ice Dome highlights the characteristics of this sports venue. The "Bolshoy" will be one of the biggest Olympic venues for hosting events and will house the most popular sport of the Winter Olympics, ice hockey. Equally, the word "Bolshoy" is understandable and familiar to representatives of many different countries, evoking an instant association with Russia's Bolshoy Theatre, the traditions of the Russian school of ballet, figure skating, ice hockey and other achievements of the biggest country in the world.

How do we begin saying THANK YOU to all that have donated from cash to presents, we are simply amazed at where the help comes from. We have families that have been helped in the past and now are in a position to help others. Goes to prove what goes around comes around again this year.
As in the past years a special Thank You to Maine Street Realty for allowing their office to be the drop off for so many wonderful gifts and money. To the American Legion in Locke's Mills, Rooster's Roadhouse, the ATV club, Sunday River skiers and the Motorcycle club for their fundraisers. The generosity of so many others is such a long list it is hard to address each and every one of them but know that without all the help we would not be able to give all that we do. Even strangers ask what we are doing and give donations.
Christmas for Families has operated in the Bethel area for 33 years. We had taken care of needs through Portland Press Herald for a few years before coming to Bethel. The generosity of the community has allowed the program to grow each year. It is truly overwhelming to see the generosity of the community in supporting Christmas for Families. Each year the need seems to grow and it is wonderful to be able to help provide a Christmas for all of the families that otherwise would have had little or nothing.
This year we have helped 85 families, 230 children plus their parents.
Have a Happy New Year and we wish you all the best.
Nina Wheeler
Christmas for Families Director

Journalism students write news stories and produce video packages, audio reports and multimedia content about what's happening on and off campus. They publish their work through School-sponsored outlets such as VCU InSight and Capital News Service; through VCU's independent student media, such as the Commonwealth Times, Ink magazine and radio station WVCW; and through internships, freelance opportunities and other professionally-oriented activities.
Two months ago, federal and state officials outlawed synthetic marijuana, a potpourri of herbs that anybody could buy at convenience stores and gas stations. But predictably, many young people stocked up on the now-illegal substance before the ban took effect. "People bought as much as they could last month and are still smoking it," said a student in Falls Church, Va.
Hundreds of people lined up outside the doors of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts on a beautiful Saturday morning to attend the opening of the long-awaited Pablo Picasso exhibition. The works, on loan from the Musée National Picasso, Paris, will be on view until May 15. "A show of this stature you would normally see in New York City," said Robin Nicholson, deputy director for Art and Education at the VMFA.
The General Assembly has granted state recognition to three more Native American tribes in Virginia. This will allow the tribes to petition for return of their ancestral remains from the Smithsonian Institution. Moreover, it will help the Indians preserve their heritage and inform the public of the tribes' importance in Virginia's history.
Hospital patients come to expect their doctors to make their daily rounds. But Ludwell Pickett was visited by a different kind of healer. Pickett and other patients had the chance to meet Daisy, a yellow Labrador Retriever, who is ready and willing to lift the spirits of patients, visiting family, and even staff in the halls of the VCU Medical Center. Daisy is part of Dogs on Call, a therapy program from VCU's Center for Human-Animal Interaction.
A's made up 37 percent of the 180,000 letter grades awarded in undergraduate courses taught at VCU last year. Wide disparities in the distribution of letter grades exist among academic departments, among courses and even among professors who teach the same course, according to Mark and Ameesha's analysis, which won a national journalism award. They showed that your grade in a course may depend largely on who is teaching it.
She earned a bachelor's degree in social work in 2007, graduating magna cum laude. She accomplished that feat in just three and a half years while working 30 hours a week. Today, she is a waitress, babysitter and sometime interpreter. She also is an undocumented immigrant. Meet Isabel Castillo, who hopes to persuade Virginia lawmakers to shelve legislation aimed at cracking down on illegal immigrants.
The 2010-2011 season for VCU men's basketball was a season that no one will ever forget. It was also a season that featured many ups and downs. Before the major "up" of making it to the Final Four in Houston, an early one included a win over UCLA in the pre-season NIT Tournament in New York City. The team also faced challenges when they closed out the regular season losing the last four out of five games.

Project Copernicus lead joins SOE's Vanguard team
Ex-38 Studios staffer Steve Danuser has rejoined Sony Online Entertainment. Danuser was part of the Everquest fold before jumping ship to become lead developer on Project Copernicus, the ill-fated MMO based on the Kingdoms of Amalur IP. Happily, SOE seems pleased to have Danuser back following 38 Studios' closure, as he's now taken on the role of creative director of Vanguard; read a little about his philosophy and approach to MMOs in a developer profile on Vanguard's site.
Thanks, Massively.

Leptopelini Laurent, 1972, Copeia, 1972: 201. Type genus: Leptopelis Günther, 1859.
Leptopelinae — Dubois, 1981, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Suppl., 15: 260.
Leptopelidae — Scott, 2005, Cladistics, 21: 523.
None noted.
Subsaharan Africa.
As originally proposed the group name was Leptopelini, a tribe, for this group within Hyperoliinae (= Hyperoliidae of this catalog); see comment under Hyperoliidae. Drewes, 1984, Occas. Pap. California Acad. Sci., 139: 52, transferred Nesionixalus out of Leptopelinae and into the synonymy of Hyperolius (Hyperoliinae). Acanthixalus was transferred to Hyperoliinae by Channing, 1989, S. Afr. J. Zool., 24: 116. Vences, Kosuch, Glaw, Böhme, and Veith, 2003, J. Zool. Syst. Evol. Res., 41: 205-213, presented data to suggest that Leptopelinae is in Astylosternidae (now part of Arthroleptidae), but retained Leptopelinae within Hyperoliidae pending additional confirmation. Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297: 234, provided additional information and placed Leptopelinae as the sister taxon of Arthroleptinae (including the astylosternines) and placed them together in the family Arthroleptidae. Scott, 2005, Cladistics, 21: 523, suggested on the basis of morphology and molecular data Leptopelidae is the sister taxon of Arthroleptidae (including astylosternines). Odierna, Aprea, Andreone, Böhme, and Vences, 2007, Ital. J. Zool., 74: 71-81, confirmed that Leptopelinae is far from Hyperoliidae, on the basis of karyological data. Van der Meijden, Vences, Hoegg, Boistel, Channing, and Meyer, 2007, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 44: 1017-1030, provided evidence that Arthroleptinae is paraphyletic with respect to Leptopelinae. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of Genbank sequences, partitioned Arthroleptinae to remedy this situation and regarded their Astylosterninae to be the sister taxon of Leptopelinae + their Arthroleptinae and provided a phylogenetic tree for their leptopeline exemplars.
