You've fought your way through a grueling job-search process and gotten called back for an interview. Now what? How do you prepare and make sure you make an impression when your competitors are likely to be just as hungry and enthusiastic? Jeff Garber, co-founder of 360JobInterview.com, who visited Baltimore recently to promote the launch of his company, offered some tips and advice on having a successful interaction with a prospective employer. "A lot of people feel lonely and anxiety-ridden in the process," says Garber, whose firm has more than 300 human resources specialists in 55 industries that provide interview and career coaching via the online video service Skype.

John Travolta plays a brawny, brainy thug, chugging down New York streets into the bowels of the city with a grim, directed bravado that's the opposite of his gleeful swagger 32 years ago in Saturday Night Fever. Denzel Washington plays the subdued, out-of-shape subway supervisor who improbably becomes the chief negotiator for the city when Travolta and his gang commandeer a subway cab and two passenger cars and hold a score of hostages for $10 million. That rat-and-cat game isn't enough reason to see The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. It's a remake of the effective 1974 suspense film that starred Robert Shaw and Walter Matthau in, respectively, the rough equivalent of Travolta's and Washington's roles.

Susan Garber believes that every child should have a voice. After 30 years of helping children with disabilities and their parents and teachers, Garber discovered one obstacle: money. That's why the former special education teacher founded AT: LAST Inc., the nonprofit Maryland Assistive Technology Cooperative, in 1998. "If you don't get a child on technology early, so that they can influence their environment, they will become quite content to do absolutely nothing and have people do for them," Garber said.

Michael McLaughlin and Eric Garber spend their days lacing milk chocolate and fruit juice with the deadly toxin ricin. But don't call the FBI. McLaughlin and Garber are U.S. Food and Drug Administration scientists conducting research on how bioterrorists might attack and how Americans can be protected. "The question was, could we detect ricin in food and cosmetics?" Garber says. "The good news is, we were able to detect it in all products at levels way below what a terrorist would be likely to use."
