Heads up Blackberry users in the Europe, Middle East and Africa, it looks like RIM is facing some technical issues which might be able to explain why you are having issues accessing certain features on your phones. This seems to have been confirmed by a variety of carriers in those particular regions, such as T-Mobile UK, Vodafone Egypt and Batelco in Bahrain.

Since this appears to be a RIM issue, users should still be able to make phone calls and send out regular text messages, but we’re guessing that retrieving emails and sending out BBMs might prove to be a bit of a problem, at least for now.

There has been no word from RIM on when they might be able to get this issue sorted out, but for now given their somewhat precarious position in the smartphone market, such occurrences shouldn’t even be happening in the first place. The good news for corporate users of Blackberry devices is that if your company has BES up and running, this outage seems to have not affected it.

Some Good Choices For Literature and Film About the Middle East

Looking for literature about the conflict in the Middle East? Some of us feel so far removed from the situation that it is hard to understand how these people really live. This last year, we can measure how much we truly want to understand the issues by the great success of the movie, "Slumdog Millionaire." For those of you out there still curious and wanting to know more about the lives of those people on both sides of the issue, here are some books you may want to consider reading.

As a young adult piece of literature, the book "Samir and Yonatan," by Daniella Carmi, can do a great job teaching adults the power of friendship. An Israeli boy and a Palestinian boy grow to be friends while they both stay at an Israeli hospital. It shows us to look at our enemies differently and see them as real people with pains and sorrows as well. Another great book for youth is "A Little Piece of Ground," by Elizabeth Laird. This shows how the conflict is affecting children and how they possibly think about their place in all of it. Sandy Tolan's "The Lemon Tree," offers some non-fiction reading of the daily struggles of the Palestinian people. This has even inspired a movie about the stories about the separations among the Israelis and Palestinians and how that separation affect lives on both sides of the wall.

These are just some choices in literature and film if you are interested in learning more about the struggles that go on half way across the world. It is hard to understand sometimes when we live such a good life. Reading the stories of these people will often put our lives in perspective, teach us to be thankful and inspire us to create a change for a better life.
