Girl-group get-togethers to plan for 2008
Many women have a love-hate relationship with Sex and the City. It was a great show but it spawned so many horrible things: New York bus tours that stopped at, among other show-specific sites, the store where Charlotte bought her "Rabbit Pearl" vibrator; sassy single-girl dating columnists; and online quizzes to determine which character you are. So when the Sex and the City movie was announced, we wearily resigned ourselves to the onslaught of more articles on what the fab four were wearing; if the on-set photos of Carrie in a wedding dress were a real part of the plot or just a dream sequence; and on the cultural impact of the series we just can't seem to get away from. We'd love to say enough already, but who's kidding who? Come May 30, we'll be in line for the movie with everyone else. Spice Girls The reunion tour! .
Dan DeLuca's 2007 Mix CD
Full-length CDs still have their place, but the iPod revolution has seen to it that the song reigns supreme. Here's a mix of 21 of the year's best that can fit on one disc. 1. "1 2 3 4," Feist. Canadian coffeehouse queen counts off the simple pleasures on her iPod ad and excellent The Reminder. 2. "Annabelle," Hail Social. Irresistibly airy synth-pop longing from Philadelphia band's Modern Love & Death CD. 3. "The Coolest Kid In School," The Teeth. Kinks-y catchiness from these gleaming incisors, whose You're My Lover Now is the local indie-pop album of the year. 4. "A-Punk," Vampire Weekend. Bloggers went bananas over these Afro-pop-flavored Ivy Leaguers, whose debut is due in January. 5. "Girlfriend," Avril Lavigne. Let the courts decide if this is a bald rip-off of the Rubinoos' "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend"; enjoy the meanness in the meantime.

Road reopened after snow rescue
The A66 in County Durham has reopened after heavy snow trapped 200 drivers and passengers who had to be rescued. Many were forced to abandon their vehicles on the transpennine route and spend the night in pubs and hotels. A coach party of 40 pensioners and a party of 15 children were among those taken to safety on Friday. A Durham Police spokesman said all vehicles had now been removed and that drivers were not to blame, as the snow had been "unexpectedly heavy". A Durham Police spokeswoman said: "Snow ploughs have been working continuously on the road and the vast majority of the 130 vehicles originally stranded have now been removed. "The people who were taken to the reception centre at the village hall and local pub, aided by police and mountain rescue volunteers, have either been able to leave the area in their vehicles or are staying in bed and breakfast accommodation." About 25 lorries remained on the A66 late on Friday night, but all private motorists had been evacuated, according to the Teesdale and Weardale Search and Rescue Team.
Jonglei state reviews government employees
There used to be a common belief that high ranking state officials pay money to unemployed people or 'double dealers,' (dual employees as others may prefer them). But now there are high possibilities that the doctrine may be true. Some 'sharp' guys serve in more than one ministry and government loss thousands of dollars every month to non serving official. Governor Kuol Mnayang promised an 'iron head' for the victims. Ministries employ more people than to serve the state. Majority of employees are casual workers, thought to be doing 'a lot of thing,' state officials observed. However, the main theme of today assessment is to apprehend those ones involved in dual jobs. "Running from ministry to another, are you gathering fruits in a forest?" an official argued. A source that prefers anonymity told Sudan Tribune that change can't come through forced 'quality serving,' but a change of heart from the state citizens.

Toy distributor integrates operations across three countries
During the purchasing selection process, O'Neill said Pronto's local customer service was a key factor in the final decision. "We wanted to deal directly with a supplier that makes and supports its own software, instead of dealing with a third party where support is not always guaranteed," he said. "The team have already proven they go beyond the call of duty as it has been a very aggressive rollout and a major change project for our business." Pronto Software managing director, David Jackman, described Moose as a dynamic Australian company that is making plenty of waves overseas. .
