Jackson, Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek.Van Wilder: Party Liason: Ryan Reynolds, Tara Reid, Tim Matheson, Paul Gleason, Kal Penn.Waiting: Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris, Justin Long, Kaitlin Doubleday, Dane Cook.Just friends: During their high school years, Chris confessed his love for his best friend and was met with a broken heart and degrading humiliation. Adding insult to injury, Chris was a big guy and was a source of ridicule for cruel classmates. Years later things have changed and Chris is now a hotshot record producer in Hollywood and the complete physical opposite of himself in high school. When a freak accident occurs on the way to Paris, Chris is forced to return home with Samantha James, an up and coming act in tow. Little does he know that he would come face to face with the friend that he tried so desperately to forget. With the chance to woo her again, Chris will do what he can despite his client's violent misgivings and a competitive rival suitor against him. No matter the crazy obstacles he must overcome, Chris will do whatever it takes to be more than just friends.R.I.P.D.: Two cops are dispatched by the Rest In Peace Department (R.I.P.D.) to protect and serve the living from increasingly destructive spirits hiding among the unsuspecting Earth. When they uncover a plot that could end life as we know it, the new partners have to turn grudging respect into top-notch teamwork to restore the cosmic balance-or watch the tunnel to the afterlife begin sending angry souls the very wrong way.The change-up: Growing up together, Mitch and Dave were inseparable best friends, but slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child. Both guys seem to think the other has it made. Following a drunken night out together, Mitch and Dave's worlds are turned upside down when they wake up in each other's bodies. The guys soon discover that each other's lives are nowhere near as rosy as they once seemed.The hitman's bodyguard: The world's top protection agent is called upon to guard the life of his mortal enemy, one of the world's most notorious hitmen.Van Wilder: Party Liason: He's the biggest man on campus. He's the boss with the sauce. He's the guy all the girls want and all the guys want to be. 'Cause in the collegiate jungle, there can be only one king, and at Coolidge College it's Van Wilder.Waiting: Dean and Monty are two longtime friends who work as waiters as Shenanigan's, a "fun" chain restaurant. Both have been working at the restaurant for about four years and it has only recently occurred to Dean that he has nothing to show for his life but a community college diploma and his name tag from work. He has developed a sudden urgency to make something of himself. Monty, on the other hand, is more interested in making time with the women on the restaurant's wait staff than accomplishing anything. Over the course of an evening at Shenanigan's, Dean and Monty confront obnoxious customers; train timid new employee Mitch; deal with the wildly eccentric chef Raddimus; control-freak manager Dan; and various other kitchen staff who are either crazed cooks, prep workers, or dish-washers.MPA rating: R.DVD, wide screen and full screen.

The Great Skills Gap opens with the premise that the exploding scope and pace of technological innovation in the digital age is fast transforming the fundamental nature of work. Due to these developments, the skills and preparation that employers need from their talent pool are shifting. The accelerated pace of evolution and disruption in the competitive business landscape demands that workers be not only technically proficient, but also exceptionally agile in their capacity to think and act creatively and quickly learn new skills. This book explores how these transformative forces are-or should be-driving innovations in how colleges and universities prepare students for their careers. Focused on the impact of this confluence of forces at the nexus of work and higher education, the book's contributors-an illustrious group of leading educators, prominent employers, and other thought leaders-answer profound questions about how business and higher education can best collaborate in support of the twenty-first century workforce"--.

Roman gladiators thrilled citizens and emperors alike when they entered the octagon to face an intense, life-threatening experience. Boxing, the sport of kings, also has its roots in the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome. Banned in 500 A.D. by the Emperor Theodoric, it resurfaced twelve centuries later in England. John Milton praised it as a noble art for building character in young men, and sports writer A.J. Leibling dubbed it the Sweet Science. Many of its major protagonists - men such as Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali - have become transcendent, near-mythic heroes. But boxing is not the only combat sport, and mixed martial arts, in all their ferocious beauty, represent the fastest growing sports genre in the world. Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) has joined boxing in paying seven figures to some of its champions, and draws millions in its pay-per-view events. This book details leading figures in boxing, sumo wrestling, kickboxing, Greco-Roman wrestling, and mixed martial arts (including organizations such as Ultimate Fighting, PRIDE, K-1, Total Combat, and SportFighting). Over 150 entries cover champions, contenders, and other famous combatants from all over the world, as well as legendary promoters, managers, trainers, and events. Also included in this encyclopedia are sidebars on controversies, highlights, brief bios, and other noteworthy events, along with a general timeline.
