...Iraqi Kurdistan to Sweden eight years ago. Masifi, 33, had been working as a machine operator at Ericsson's mobile systems unit in the Stockholm suburb of Kista for the past three years. Last month Masifi, who earned $1,700 a month with overtime, was called in to his supervisor's office and told that he was among 225 employees in his department being laid off. "I was a bit shocked, but I believe that God has a purpose in everything," said Masifi, who is married with a young child. In Masifi's case God - and the government - will provide...
...Jerry is still making movies that Don would have loved, but he's interested in doing other things," says Kathy Nelson, Bruckheimer's music consultant and supervisor since 1984.

...Babe was released in 1995. By now its effects seem as primitive as a scratchy Al Jolson sound track. "Computer horsepower has gotten better, and there are some really sharp guys writing software," says Dennis Muren, senior visual effects supervisor at ILM. His team has kept dinosaurs steadily evolving since the first Jurassic Park in 1993; research for the first two movies has made more monsters possible for the upcoming Jurassic Park III. Cats & Dogs' animators paid their dues on Babe but honed their craft on a talking bulldog for last year's Little Nicky...
