Nonetheless I’ve donned my pinstripes, gone to corporate presentations, schmoozed, smiled, preened and feigned interest until my jacket made me sweat, my makeup began to run and my toes went numb in my pointy pumps. But, alas! Only a select few get the interviews in the first place. Those of us who have never had a corporate job, aren’t economics concentrators and don’t have perfect grades are finding it difficult to get a foot in the door. Instead, the same twenty-odd names turn up on every interview schedule, thus shutting...
...never really went away. Andrew Murray, executive director of Victoria's Youth Substance Abuse Service, which provides treatment, housing and support to about 2,000 young people each year, says heroin abuse remains common among young people with histories of abuse and violence, who use the drug to numb their emotions. When there was a glut of the drug, Murray says, far more people than usual were able to find and try it. Now, he says, "you have to know where to go and who to talk to."

And, while Braff the actor manages to justify and even enrich his numb character the more he weaves his way through a maze of “how old are we” house parties, fluorescent-lighting and tentative moments with a new girl, Sam (Natalie Portman ’03), there’s something awkward that still shouldn’t be. The sense...
Tired of pressing the buttons on your game controller until your thumbs turn numb? Sony's new EyeToy: Groove is the first dance video game that uses a digital camera to track your movements and rate your rhythm. The EyeToy camera, right, attaches to your PlayStation 2's USB port and eliminates the need to use a game pad to control the game. Instead, you activate onscreen buttons with the wave of your hand. Choose from 23 songs (from Madonna's Music to Jessica Simpson's Forbidden Fruit), then follow cues onscreen that indicate where and when to move your...
