Joanna Eberhart (Nicole Kidman), a wildly successful president of a TV Network, after a series of shocking events suffers a nervous breakdown and is moved by her milquetoast of a husband, Walter (Matthew Broderick), from Manhattan to the chic, upper-class and very modern planned community of Stepford, Connecticut. Once there, she makes good friends with the acerbic Bobbie Markowitz (Bette Midler), a Jewish writer who's also a recovering alcoholic. Together they find out, much to their growing stupor and-then horror, that all the housewives in town are strangely blissful, and somehow... doomed. What is going on behind the closed doors of the Stepford Men's Association and the Stepford Day Spa? Why is everything perfect here? Will it be too late for Joanna and Bobbie when they finally find out?

Spirit Bear: The Simon Jackson Story (Full Frame)
Simon Jackson is an awkward 15-year-old who lives on a planet light years away from the "in" crowd - until a life changing moment. Attacked in the British Colombia wilderness, Simon is rescued by a rare white Kermode bear. When he learns these magnificent creatures are endangered, that only 400 are in existence in a small area of northern BC, Simon turns from shy, stuttering daydreamer to political activist.

The Management of Convergence Telecomunications in the New Environment by James P. Heatherly, ISBN 1558606769
Convergent services are just beginning to become available (some examples of services are: Internet services delivered to TV sets via systems like Web TV, e-mail and World Wide Web access via digital TV decoders and mobile telephones; webcasting of radio and TV programming on the Internet; using the Internet for voice telephony, etc.) and are projected to really take off soon.

The book will provide detailed discussions...
