In the more tedious second half of a gig at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall in 2002, Lambchop frontman Kurt Wagner finally snapped. A normally mild-mannered gent, he had grown tired of punters shouting out requests for songs from Nixon, the band's classic breakthrough album from 2000, not stuff from its lacklustre successor Is A Woman, which the Nashville group were in town to promote.
"Play some old stuff, your new stuff's shit" shouted one frustrated fan. "What, like something from the 1700s? Some of those fugues are pretty cool," replied Wagner with quick wit.
And here we are ten years on, still wondering if Lambchop have recaptured the soulful, string-drenched southern gothic Americana of Nixon, or have simply gone further down the path of quiet, insular reflection. Can new record Mr. M beat the cycle?
These 11 songs, inspired by the recent death of Wagner's friend, alt-country hero Vic Chestnutt, are melancholic, slow and seriously sad. Where there was once a joyful marriage of Seventies soul and Nashville Americana, there is a dense and intricate meal of whispering lounge folk to chow down on. Wagner himself describes the record as having a "psycha-Sinatra" sound, "one that involved the arranging of strings and other sounds in a more open and yet complex way."
You can almost see what he means. The closing strains of 'Gone Tomorrow' fall into free-flowing jazzy waterfalls of strings and piano, reminding us of the band's expansive, experimental side. But elsewhere, tracks such as 'Nice Without Mercy' seem to be an exercise in investigating how morose music can get before the performers stop to weep uncontrollably.
The instrumental 'Gar' is softly charming, but glides by without making a mark. 'Mr Met' briefly soars past the general malaise with some gorgeous female vocals. But the pace never advances beyond a lazy mid-tempo shuffle and Wagner's whooping falsetto of old is a distant memory.
And yet – and yet - somehow the overall effect isn't totally unappealing. Lambchop fans, grown accustomed to the charming reserved timbre of the band's recent albums should enjoy this. This is therapeutically sombre music, with shards of hope breaking through the dark clouds. Wagner's words are touching and his observant, almost cinematic reading of the world around him is still his best lyrical weapon. "I've never been in love before, and I needed nothing, nothing more, than to be with you", he sings on 'Never My Love';"The wine tasted like sunshine in a basement", on 'Gone Tomorrow<'.
It's hard to believe this is the same band that reached such brassy soulful heights a decade ago. In fairness, a lot of this is to do with economics. As Wagner tells The Guardian, the band is now only five or six strong – making the vast multi-section line-ups of 2000/1 impossible. He pays $12,000 (£7,500) a year in health insurance and it's safe to say being in Lambchop isn't a particularly lucrative occupation.
Some good musicianship and some heartful songs don't make this an easy journey. Mr M is an honest but tough old ride.

Back From the Dead
A patch of black ice in the middle of the road ended an otherwise ordinary winter weekend in upstate New York. My Honda CR-V crossed the center line and hit, head-on, a logging truck.
I don't remember anything until about two days later. I spent two weeks recovering in the hospital, spent a month in a wheel chair and then another month on crutches. There was lots of pain, physical therapy, drugs, and the joys of withdrawal from pain medication.
Today I walk at least 2 miles a day, ride my bike, golf and am pretty much back to normal. I was very - very - lucky.
That was the start of my hiatus from The Fulcrum.
After going back to work, about a year after my accident - and the day before my birthday - I was "downsized" from my job with a company I'd been with for 17 years. That served to prolong the hiatus. But now that I'm well established in my job search, I've decided that I have a little bit of time during the week to blog again.
So now I'm back; and there are so many things to talk about!

Seriously. I went to the site the other day to find about about the previous night's results. What i got instead were spoiled results for today's (or whichever day it was i went to the site) broadcasat. I found out that Phelps lost to Thorpe, that Natalie Coughlin won, and that the men's gymnastics team lost to Japan.
Now, i realize that there is a significant time difference between Athens and Minneapolis, but if NBC is pushing their prime time Olympic programming, shouldn't they not reveal the winners in bold headlines on their website? Maybe have a spoilers section, or something?
Had i gone to the website yesterday, i would have lostall the drama and interest in seeing the US beat the Australians in the 4X200 meter freestyle by a tenth of a second when Kellar is able to hold off Thorpe. That was an exciting race and was more so because i didn't know who would win...but i'm quite sure that nbcolympics.com had the result as their big headline.
Not going to the site, i was able to see the women's saber finals (and two semi-final matches) not knowing in Sada Jacobson would win (she got bronze) or if the other US woman would take the silver (she got Gold).
And this isn't even Track, when i'll get really obsessive.

Gripe, Gripe, Gripe
The rules can never be fair. Society is just set up to the advantage of some kinds of workers and the disadvantage of others, and artists of all kinds are most often on the "disadvantage" end of that particular stick.
Yes, there are exceptions. But that's all they are. When I was a photographer I had clients stiff me enough times it wasn't even funny (and I can see humor in nearly everything). If you want to get professional photographers talking sometime, start a conversation about unusual and inventive ways a photographer can get stiffed by a client.
Gripe, gripe. But intellectual property is property too, and it's not for nothing that the phrase "starving artist" is a cliché. Van Gogh had to trade finished paintings for new tubes of paint—and the guy selling the paint was the one who was being generous. Don't try to tell me Van Gogh didn't do anything of value for society.
Photographers get ripped off all the time. Already. If you don't believe it, talk to a few. So when Congress wants working photographers to take it on the chin, we need to take it seriously. I understand the reasons for the new law. But I also know that it will be abused, and it will make it harder for "creatives" of all kinds to extract fair compensation for their labor. That's all.
Posted by: MIKE JOHNSTON
Featured Comment (from the original post): Jake said, "As a student of International relations and Economics as well as an amateur photographer, I sincerely believe that we citizens of 1st world nations must protect intellectual property with every means available. Our Western economies are becoming more and more based upon intellectual property, while we allow other developing economies to provide the required labor.
"The Stanford University Library is mentioned in the proposal as wishing to make many orphaned works available. This is nice for them, however I doubt that the University itself would allow any of its own research to be tossed about on the internet if someone were to find an unaccredited copy of it and post it somewhere or produce a derivative work from it. They would sue and demand compensation. We should all have the same right.
"Our ideas are our own and our work is our own. You wouldn't want the guy in the next cubicle to turn in a report that YOU created with his own name on it. And that is the crux of this. If we chose not to publish it, then that is our choice and it should remain unpublished until after our death or as long as our estate keeps it unpublished. It is ours, and we should be able to defend and protect it as we wish."

Future network security
Intelligent society and industry will transform telecom networks into the primary platform for business innovation. As the number of connected applications and devices continue to increase exponentially, so too will the economic value which relies on their integrity. Intelligent networks will carry an abundance of industry and consumer data, changing the nature of business competition. Securing those assets will make future network security key to ensuring trustworthiness of society and industry.
The emergence of a more intelligent and connected network will present new attack vectors and threats. As the world becomes more digitalized, attention to privacy will become more relevant than ever. At Ericsson, we have identified privacy as being one of the core enablers of trustworthiness across telecom networks. This will continue to underpin our standardization and regulatory efforts, product design and implementation considerations, and research activities. By staying ahead of the market, we ensure our cellular wireless infrastructure remains the most trustworthy choice for both mission and business critical use, and always the strongest link in the privacy chain. As we move toward intelligent society and industry, we'll integrate this level of security into connected business.
End-to-end trustworthiness is ensured through wireless infrastructure and scalable solutions with adaptable and verifiable dimensions of trustworthiness. This is complemented by central threat intelligence, actively collecting intelligence on current security threats.
Security at scale
Security at scale means safeguarding huge volumes of devices, data and use cases. Such scale cannot be managed on a case by case basis which is why we make sure our future network security solutions will always protect the end-to-end of all connected use cases.
Policy-driven automation
Policy-driven automation which aligns with industry frameworks, together with rule-based analytics (for known threats) and machine-learning analytics (for anomalies and unknown threats) will enable holistic, quality and cost-efficient security of all future use cases.

Last week, the highest court in the EU promulgated a new privilege for its denizens, namely the right to have links to undesirable information removed from search engines. This ruling has been greeted with opposition by pundits, jeers by the technocrati, and ridicule by comic talk show hosts, even though it was the result of principles in place in the EU constitution since 1995. What is surprising to some in the ruling is that search engines were designated as "data providers," and hence, subject to the same rules as credit bureaus and government agencies.
The question of whether search engines are genuinely data providers can be argued from either side: If you believe that search engines do no more than match users with data items they're looking for, the ruling will likely seem remarkably out of touch. However, if you view them as data providers, then the ruling will appear fitting. I tend towards the latter view, in the same way I view credit bureaus as data providers, even though they principally collate information given to them by external parties. Credit bureaus, like search engines, sift the data and provide conclusions based on it: A credit rating in the first case, a page ranking in the latter. Moreover, all major search engines hold caches of the Web pages they visit and so they do more than transparently link to the ultimate item, they do actually hold the data those Web pages publish and provide it to users. Ultimately, I think, it's difficult not to view them as data providers, perhaps of a limited sort.
A principal concern articulated by pundits is that the ruling will allow people who have done bad things to avoid accountability. Let's first note that a limited right to hiding transgressions already exists in many countries, including the US. Minors tried and convicted as such can have their records expunged or sealed upon reaching the age of majority. Likewise, certain infractions committed by adults can be expunged, depending on state laws and sentencing deals. As to civil matters, the same thing is true for bankruptcies, which are removed from credit records after either 7 or 10 years. This latter point is important because it served as the basis for the original case in the EU decision: a Spaniard whose house had been repossessed in 1998 wanted links to the event removed. In the US, that repossession would have long ago disappeared from his credit record. This doesn't strike me as unfair or improper.
Private handling of past sins is a standard part of business, as any employer knows when they try to gain insight into the work history and possible problems experienced by previous employers of a candidate. The laws make it almost impossible to obtain negative information. As in the previous examples, these laws are intended to provide individuals a chance to recover from earlier ill-considered behavior. It is hard to construct a reasonable argument that formalizing such confidentiality is somehow deleterious. Such a position is pitiless and unsparing.
An important counter-argument to my view is the possibility of abuse by people who want to paint over inconvenient or embarrassing statements, such as a racially charged phone recording that threatens a career or business interest. If they can successfully petition to have links removed, they can change the perception of them, at least online. My colleague, Tom Claburn at InformationWeek, goes so far as to assert, "The right to forget appears to be an obligation to lie." I don't buy this argument. First of all, it's most unclear what links can be taken down. Given the EU's long history of formulating detailed and extensive regulations, it's highly likely that they will publish guidelines developed after considerable input from the public and affected businesses. This has been their tradition for most of their history.
Even if the regulations end up being loose enough that some abuse is possible, we will have at worst an incomplete portrait of an individual or entity. That is little different from the situation today. As I mentioned earlier, lots of information about any given person is simply not available on the Internet. And yet, we've all managed to survive with these incomplete pictures.
For a classic example of this model at work, look at LinkedIn. You can write an unfavorable review of someone and place it in their profile, but they have an unlimited right to take down your comments. Hence, if third-party readers of the profile think that the LinkedIn page is a complete representation they have always been wrong. Unless voluntarily provided, no Internet search will provide information on health status, grades in college, amount paid in taxes, failed business ventures, extra-marital affairs, and so on. We've known all along that portraits of individuals are inherently and substantially incomplete. There is no lie because there never was the contention that a complete picture could be assembled. All that EU denizens will now know is that the fragments they currently can dig up on someone may omit details that the target individual wants forgotten.
This seems to me like a small penalty for enabling individuals to diminish access to widely dispersed invalid, invasive, or irrelevant old information, and to permit them to move forward without being shackled forever by a past misdeed or improvident decision.

text: The San Joaquin Valley Cotton Board has released five new Acala and two new Pima cotton varieties. The new releases are: -- OA-262, a Roundup Ready Acala from O & A Enterprises. -- OA-265, the first stacked gene (BR) transgenic Acala. It is also from O & A Enterprises. It contains the first generation Bt gene (Bollgard) and is also Roundup Ready. It does not contain the Bollgard II gene, which offers control of the worm pests common to the San Joaquin Valley. Bollgard cotton is widely planted in Arizona because it is highly effective against pink bollworm, which is not a threat in the San Joaquin Valley thanks to a the grower-funded exclusion program using trapping and sterile-moth control technology. At 1,685 pounds per acre, OA-265 produced the highest yields in board tests. -- OA-270, another Acala also from O & A Enterprises, is also a stacked gene Bollgard/Roundup Ready cotton similar to OA-265 and tied with it in yield scores. OA-270 has a slightly longer growing season than OA-265. -- C-201, a premium fiber Acala from California Cotton Planting Seed Distributors (CPCSD), was bred to replace the current Ultima variety. C-201 produced 1,605 pounds of lint per acre. It is expected to be roller-ginned, rather than saw-ginned like most Acalas, to increase its quality. Roller-ginned Acalas have earned a price premium as high as 12-15 cents per pound over saw-ginned varieties. -- C-101 is a nematode-resistant Acala from CPCSD. --OA-353, is a Pima variety from O & A Enterprises. It outyielded the S-7 standard by 157 pounds per acre. -- OA-354, another Pima from O & A Enterprises produced yields of 73 pounds per acre over S-7. O&A cottons have in the past been marketed by Delta and Pine Land Co. The new releases bring to 40 the board-approved varieties for commercial cotton planting. This does not include so-called non-Acala, non-Pimas that also can be planted in the valley. Transgenic cottons In other actions, the board also voted to include in its research program the testing of new transgenic cottons containing the Roundup Ready Flex gene, which will allow the use of Roundup later in the plant's growth cycle than the current Roundup Ready technology. This technology is closely regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Until approved by USDA, all seed, gin trash and motes produced from these transgenic cottons must be destroyed.

we are starting to learn about functions now and we have a simple function that we have to do. i was looking through my book, but all the examples were using int and not string (which is what i think i need).
the description of the problem is: Write a function called myName which returns (does not cout) your full name (e.g., "Bob Smith"). Write main to call the function and display the name on the screen. NOTE: Your name should not appear anywhere other than in the function myName.
so far i have something looking like this:
i know this is a very short and simple program but im not sure if im on the right track.Code:#include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; string myName() { return "users name"; } int main() { myName; }

A profound studio presence during his time at CE - debating, laughing, whistling, or explaining his work to patrons - Pablo Calderon (b. 1952, El Salvador) exemplifies the heroic artist's attitude toward life and method. His art-making is bold, masterfully painting in grand scale, combining saturated hues in broad strokes, exploring color and its possibilities. His paintings of wide-eyed, curly haired muñecas (or "dolls") are imbued with a kind of ambiguity that invites speculation. He treats another of his favorite subjects, vehicles, playfully, with vivid, elegant depictions of bicycles and large, bird's eye views of trucks flattened out into map-like abstractions.
After moving to the US in his late thirties, Calderon joined the Creativity Explored studio in 2002, and has exhibited his artwork nationally and internationally (See below). CB2 selected Calderon's paintings in designs for a limited edition rug and a pillow. Hear Calderon's story in this video, which premiered at CE's annual gala Art Changes Lives 2016. Calderon left the studio program in 2019.

Bisons split Saturday double-dip
The Bisons split Saturday's doubleheader losing the first game, 6-1, and winning the second game, 3-1, at Coca-Cola Field.
The Herd won the second game on the strength of Josh Stinsons arm. Stinson went six innings striking out four while allowing only one run.
Stinson looked like he was in trouble in the second inning after giving up an unearned run and intentionally walking Shawn Bowman to face Yohan Flande the Braves starting pitcher. Stinson struck-out Flande before facing down Stefan Gartrell for the final out of the inning stranding three Braves on the base paths.
"You have to be able to pitch out of jams sometimes, and Stinson certainly did that," said manager Tim Teufel.
After loading the bases Stinson retired 14 of the next 15 batters, and gave up only two hits. Going six innings was important with back-to-back doubleheaders.
"Anytime you go out there you want to go six or seven, you don't want to be labled as the five and die guy," Stinson said. "Today more than other days, you got two back to back double headers, makes it tough if you come out early."
The Herd's offense provided Stinson a small cushion of three runs all coming in the second inning. Jason Botts got things rolling with a single in just his second game with the Bisons. Luis Hernandez walked moving Botts to third, Bubba Bell followed with a single that drove the Bisons first run across.
With no outs in the second Raul Chavez singled loading the bases with no outs. Jesus Feliciano grounded into a double play allowing Hernandez to score and moving Bell to third. With two outs Bell scored on a passed ball from Flande.
Gwinnett got off to a fast start in the first game of the doubleheader scoring four runs in the first inning, powered by Brandon Hicks Homerun. The Braves added two more runs in the third and fifth inning to stretch their lead over the Bisons, 6-0.
The Bisons got on the board in the sixth inning when Lucas Duda deposited a solo-homerun into the first row of the Bully Hill Party Deck in right-field. The solo shot was his fourth of the season and just second hit of the game for the Herd making the score, 6-1.
"That was nice, it was on a slider that stayed in there real nice and Duda drove it over the right-field wall," Teufel said. "It's good to see Duda back in uniform."
The only other hit was given up in the fifth inning breaking up Braves starter Erik Cordier's no-hit bid. Cordier was removed from the game in the fifth ending his chance for a win in his first start of the season for Gwinnett.
Game Notes:: The Mets have selected the contract of RHP Dale Thayer off the Bisons roster…Lucas Duda has been activated off the clubs disabled list, and hit his fourth homerun of the season in the first game of the doubleheader…The Herd allowed their first passed ball of the season in the fifth inning of the first doubleheader…Kirk Nieuwenhuis didn't play either game on Saturday he is still banged up from a diving catch he made on Tuesday…The Bisons remain at .500 they are now, 14-14, when playing at home.

Despite a frightening similarity to Billy Joel, I like this song. Apparently Ghosts began as a band that openly dubbed their sound "Worse than Hanson", so 'Stay The Night' is an obvious improvement on past work.
Yet, there is nothing fantastic, out-of-the-ordinary or piercing about this song; it is plaintive power-pop, focused on a couple of chords, a revolving sax interlude and average lyrics. It sounds inherently British, but more in an early Travis sort of way. So, up to this point, nothing special.
Yet I am a sucker for Britpop, and this is a well thought-out, cogent example of recycling a sound, be it Coldplay's or Mr Joel's, and then disseminating it through a dominant major chord, sing-along fashion. If you dislike singing or singing along for that matter, steer clear of Ghosts. If you secretly harbour a predilection for over-emotional melody and teenage lyrics, you may enjoy this.
Not enough to stay the night, but long enough to get on and off Casper to make the trip over worthwhile.

Just days before $85 billion in deep federal budget cuts are to take effect, the Democratic National Committee is circulating a new online infographic aimed at pressuring Republicans to back President Obama's plan to avoid the so-called sequester.
"If Republicans in Congress don't act by Friday to stop the so-called sequester, there will be far-reaching consequences on our economy. These disastrous consequences are completely avoidable, and the President has a balanced plan to stop the sequester," says DNC Executive Director Patrick Gaspard says in an email with the infographic.

Virgin Galactic
A camera mounted on the WhiteKnightTwo carrier airplane shows SpaceShipTwo falling away just before its rocket firing on Friday over California's Mojave Desert.
These scenes may look like computer-generated spaceship shots for a summer sci-fi movie — but they're totally real photos taken during Friday's test flight of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo rocket plane.
Cameras were mounted on the exterior of SpaceShipTwo as well as its carrier airplane, WhiteKnightTwo, to monitor the rocket engine's performance. And yes, to get some way-cool video, too. Check out the photos taken while SpaceShipTwo zoomed over California's Mojave Desert — then watch the clip from NBC Nightly News.

In many ways, an internship is like a first date with a potential career, a time when you can ask questions like, "Are we well-suited for each other?"
and "Does the lifestyle you offer line up with my long-term goals?" That's just what Calvin's own Josh Schroyer got at his internship with WOOD-TV 8.
So Josh, how did you get connected with WOOD-TV 8?
Basically it was just the experiences I had at Calvin that got me the job. Over my freshman, sophomore, and most of my junior year, I kind of built my resumé. Then when I was a junior, I applied for the position at WOOD-TV—went in for the interview, and got the job.
So what did your day look like when you went into work?
Well, usually I show up at eight every morning for the shooting portion of the show. Then I talk with the executive producer, pick up the scripts, assist the floor director between set changes, greet guests in the lobby, bring the guests coffee and water—that type of stuff. I guess that's a typical morning. Then sometimes I stick around in the afternoons, and I'll get to do some filming.
Was this your first internship experience at Calvin?
No, it was actually my second internship at WOOD-TV. I also interned the summer between my junior and senior years. Over the summer, I was doing more production and news, and then this spring I was working on the Show 8 West, which is more entertainment focused.
Oh, so you actually got to do some shooting for the show?
Well yeah, one day I came in, and one of the people that usually shoots the stories was sick. They knew I had some experience shooting, so they were just like, "Hey so-and-so's gone, but we still really need to shoot this story because it needs to air tomorrow. You're the only one who can do it." So I was pushed into a position that I was kind of ready for, but I wasn't actually trained to do."
So what sort of projects have you been working on lately?
Well, my favorite was definitely the Rocket Summer lipdub we did last year.We actually shut down the fieldhouse for the afternoon and had like 100 students come in.Yeah, that was probably one of the biggest projects I tackled at Calvin. And it wasn't even for a class! It was just kind of an idea.
What advice do you have for incoming students hoping to study media productions?
I would say definitely get involved in student organizations on campus. When you're a freshman, that's the easiest way to get to know people and start getting hands-on experience right away. Ask to help with some of the larger projects juniors and seniors are doing. They'd definitely love your help, and they'll probably teach you a few things along the way!

East Meets West
This story appears in the January 1998 issue of HomeOfficeMag.com. Subscribe »
When it comes to designing your home office, consulting an interior designer can help pave the way to a productive, aesthetically pleasing work environment. Today, many such professionals are well-versed in feng shui, the ancient Chinese art of placement dating back more than 4,000 years. Practitioners believe a room's arrangement will directly affect your life and business--either positively or negatively.
"The house or building is a metaphor of the self," says James Allyn Moser, a Feng Shui practitioner and owner of the Feng Shui Warehouse in San Diego. "The building will mirror the individual." Feng shui not only works to achieve an overall balance of energy in the environment, but staunch supporters also believe it will bring wealth to your business.
Though Moser recommends consulting an expert, there are steps the feng shui-inspired can take on their own. The most important element of any office, contends Moser, is your desk's position. "You need to be able to see the door and see what's coming at you," he explains. It's also preferable to have your back to the wall and keep your desk out of the door's pathway. "That's like sitting in the middle of the road," says Moser.
The addition of accessories, such as wind chimes, art or a small, trickling fountain, can evoke positive feelings and soothe an otherwise stressful atmosphere. A strategically placed mirror can help enlarge your work space and bring different views into your office. "More people today have home businesses," says Moser. "People have more control over their environment, compared to the old way where we had to go to work and were stuck with what we got."
Have It Your Way
You've spent months envisioning your new home office. You close your eyes and there it is, crystal clear. If only you could see an accurate, tangible representation ahead of time, before putting it all together.
Now you can, with the help of Visual Home, a new Internet-enhanced interior design product from Books That Work, a software development and publishing company in Palo Alto, California. With Visual Home, priced at $39.95, you can design, remodel and redecorate rooms in your home. Just download pictures of thousands of real manufacturers' furnishings and appliances from the Visual Home Web site http://www.btw.com, and place them accordingly. Before long, you'll have created a setup that works for you. And to keep you on budget while redecorating, the program includes a shopping list that automatically tracks how much virtual money you've spent.
Minimum system requirements include a 486 PC, Windows 95, 8MB RAM, 3MB available hard-drive space and a CD-ROM drive.
Out Of Order
Let's face it: Clutter is more than a small hindrance for most home offices. According to the National Association of Professional Organizers in Austin, Texas, paperwork is a small business's biggest burden--and 80 percent of all documents filed are never referenced again. It gets worse: The Wall Street Journal recently reported that U.S. executives lose an average of six weeks per year searching for misplaced information.
"If you're not organized, you waste valuable time, which is equivalent to valuable money," says Donna McMillan, owner of McMillan & Co. Professional Organizing in Los Angeles. Since the company was founded in 1984, McMillan has seen her share of disorderly work stations and offices. But most notably, she has helped countless businesses clear out the clutter and, in the end, increase productivity.
So how do you know if it's time for a major overhaul? Your first warning sign, says McMillan, is when you find yourself murmuring "Where is my (fill in the blank)?" A good standard to live by, says McMillan, is if you can't find something in 30 seconds, it's in the wrong place. Once you decide you're ready to tackle the job, the following suggestions will help you get started:
*Sort your paperwork. Purchase and assemble several cardboard file boxes. Once you pick a category for each box, sort the entire office. Every shred of paper gets filed in its proper box, from paid bills and magazines to newspaper articles and tax returns. Also toss out all that junk mail you've accumulated.
*Organize the information. Go through each box and further organize the documents.
*Arrange your space. Now you're ready to tackle your work station. How many filing cabinets do you need? What should be boxed and stored in the attic? Where should office supplies go? Keep the items you need every day within reach, and put everything else away.
*Set up an organization system. McMillan suggests file folders for information accessed infrequently and three-ring binders with dividers, placed on a nearby bookshelf, for documents referenced more often.
*Develop new habits. Always put things back in their place, and reorganize before leaving the office each night. Says McMillan, "Accept this as a new habit, and grow with it."
Bonus Room
It's a problem familiar to homebased business owners--no space for an office. For those who see the kitchen table as the only viable solution, consider the Home Office Alcove from Brady Rooms Inc. in Worcester, Massachusetts. This fully assembled home office addition attaches to almost any home and is functional within hours.
This turnkey product minimizes the hassles of typical remodeling jobs. The 7-by-12-foot Alcove comes fully furnished in cherry or oak with a spacious work surface, sliding ergonomic keyboard tray, adjustable shelving and filing cabinets. Pre-wired for electricity, multiple phone lines and computer networking, the Alcove also includes track lighting and a wall of insulated windows. You can also order an optional air conditioning unit.
The Home Office Alcove fits beneath most roof overhangs; you can either attach it where there's a door or knock down an existing wall. The alcove is available in select states east of the Mississippi; costs start at $10,000.
Just Like New
Although furniture can be pricey, there comes a time when all homebased entrepreneurs have to purchase a desk, filing cabinet or other office item. But who ever said you have to buy something new?
For those on a tight budget, consider buying used furniture. Often, the pieces are in excellent condition, and despite limited selections, you can usually find something to match your décor. "The biggest benefit is the price," says Joel Miller of Bingham Farms, Michigan-based WorkPlace Integrators, an office furniture dealer that added reconditioned furniture to its line five years ago. "[Customers] can get like-new products at a significant cost savings." That savings can slash as much as 70 percent off the original price.
WorkPlace Integrators' reconditioned pieces can be traced back to customers who updated tired offices with new workstations. WorkPlace Integrators buys and revamps the used pieces--hardware is replaced, finishes are touched up and chips in the wood are filled in. Some metallic filing cabinets can even be colorized in a shade selected by the customer.
To find a store in your area that sells reconditioned furniture, consult your local Yellow Pages.

Playa Los Tubos and Playa Mar Chiquita
The stretch of coast north of Manatí is graced by some of the most memorable beaches in Puerto Rico. Heading west along PR-686, the first is Playa Los Tubos, a thick, beautiful wedge of sand with a big car park and basic amenities. Los Tubos gets some heavy surf in winter, while for the week of July 4 the beach plays host to the International Playero Los Tubos de Manatí Festival, featuring a series of concerts by well-known artists from Puerto Rico and all over Latin America.
Beyond here the road follows a narrow strip of beach known as Playa Tortuguero, enticing on weekdays when the lack of people means you can simply pull over and stake out your own private stretch. Keep driving west along PR-685 and you'll come to PR-648, the road to stunning Playa Mar Chiquita. This cove is an almost perfect horseshoe shape, hemmed in by jagged arms of coral on both sides and lined with a silky strip of sand. The water here is calm and perfect for swimming in summer, though in winter bigger waves surge through the narrow gap into the lagoon. The beach remains wild and undeveloped, with no facilities or food on site, though you'll be sharing it with the usual hordes on weekends and holidays.
To find two much quieter beaches, return to PR-685, turn right and make the short drive to the right-hand turning for PR-6684. Bear left at the next junction, then follow the road around 2km to where it dead-ends. Walk across the fence at the end of the road and turn right at the sign for the Reserva Natural de Hacienda La Esperanza: you should reach Playa de Las Golondrinas in around five to ten minutes. This is home to La Cueva de Las Golondrinas (Cave of the Swallows), a small tunnel at the edge of the beach, cutting through the rocks to the bay on the other side. You'll find Playa La Poza de Las Mujeres is off to the right, with no actual well (poza), but a tiny, sheltered cove.

Group cautions against dangerous toys this holiday season
Small or loud toys are most dangerous
The Public Interest Research Group, also known as PIRG, is cautioning parents and child caregivers about some of the dangerous toys available this holiday season.
The group discussed its 27th annual Trouble in Toyland survey at a Portland child care facility Tuesday afternoon.
PIRG said that even though many of the toys on this year's list may pass national safety standards, they can still be hazardous to a child's health.
Sasha Shunk, owner of Shunk Child Care, said parents can use the "toilet roll test" to determine if a toy is too small and presents a choking hazard. Shunk demonstrated that if a toy can fit through the cardboard tube at the center of a roll of toilet paper, it can present a choking hazard.
"This said it was for 2 and up so I purchased it and then I did the test," Shunk said. "I came home and realized it wasn't OK, so this is kind of where the standards aren't as strong as they should be for the labels on toys."

Dennis Shasha is a professor of Computer Science at New York University. His latest puzzle book Puzzles for Programmers and Pros outlined some general approaches to programmatic puzzle solving. This column challenges you to find the solutions to the puzzles that lie at the core of some cool tough applications. He solicits your help in identifying such cool apps.
Long-time Dr. Dobb's readers surely remember Dr. Ecco's Omniheurist Corner, where Dennis Shasha posed puzzles that required computer solutions. Dennis is returning to Dr. Dobbs, but with a new twist on puzzles -- one that takes inspiration from the challenging apps that readers have faced and to turn those into puzzles.
If you have written an application -- or run across one -- that required extensive use of heuristics (because no algorithm would solve it) or that is otherwise algorithmically interesting, please send mail to Dennis at [email protected]. Put "Tough Apps" in the subject line. If Dennis likes it, he will contact you, try to understand what you've done, and create a puzzle explaining the algorithmic core. Please include a blurb about yourself and the problem.
In the 1990s, four researchers at Telcordia found a good way to test software. Instead of trying to achieve high code coverage (which might not be possible when one doesn't control the source), they proposed to test the external behavior of the software in a clever way. By "external behavior" I mean testing the interface and user-settable configuration parameters. For example, if testing the implementation of a language, one would test language constructs and optimization parameters.
Why does one need to be clever about such testing? The short answer is -- combinatorial explosion. A language will often allow a countably infinite number of statements. It's impossible to test them all. The good news is that they found that many software bugs occur because of an interaction between two factors (e.g., two language features or perhaps a language feature and a configuration parameter), so if they could test every combination of values of every pair of factors, they would often catch most if not all bugs. Because even a single factor may have an infinite number (or at least billions) of values (e.g., all floats), one has to discretize the test space. This may mean extensive sampling on boundary conditions and a few samples of large intermediate sets of values.
For example, suppose you are testing a new SQL engine. Optimization parameters include buffer space, query caching, replacement algorithm, and so on. Language features include the formation of the SELECT clause, number of tables, the WHERE clause, grouping, aggregates, and subqueries.
In my work, I like to lay out each factor in a line along with its values as you can see below:
buffer space: 20 megabytes, 200 megabytes, 2 gigabytes, 20 gigabytes, 200 gigabytes
query caching: off, on
replacement algorithm: least recently used, most recently used
select clause: asterisk, named columns, aggregates
number of tables: 1, 2, 10, 50
grouping: unused, used one attribute, used many attributes
aggregates: none, single, five
subqueries: none, one, five
Testing all these combinations would require 5 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 6,480 experiments. You may consider this to be too many, so you'd like to do far fewer but still satisfy the two factor condition, viz. for every pair of values in every pair of factors, some experiment tests this pair. The puzzle is to find such a small set of experiments.
Suppose there were only four factors each having three values:
Testing every combination requires 3*3*3*3 = 81 experiments, but achieving the two factor condition requires only 12 experiments:
On the left you see the experiment number followed by the values of each factor in each experiment. For example, experiment 5 has value 3 for factor F1, and 1 for all other factors. The two factor condition is achieved because for any pair of factors e.g. F1 and F4, every pair of values is found in at least one experiment. Experiment 1 has F1 = 3 and F4 = 3, experiment 2 has F1 = 1 and F4 = 3, experiment 3 has F1 = 2 and F4 = 2, experiment 4 repeats F1 = 3 and F4 = 3 and so on. A covering set for F1 and F4 would be experiments 11, 7, 2, 9, 3, 12, 5, 10, and 1.
End of Warm-Up
Here is the challenge for you: Can you build a program that will give you a set of experiments that satisfies the two factor condition for the SQL case?
Hint: You need fewer than 25 experiments.
The original paper by the Telcordia people is: The Combinatorial Design Approach to Automatic Test Generation, by David M. Cohen, Siddhartha R. Dalal, Jesse Parelius, Gardner C. Patton.
In this solution, the X represents a "don't care," meaning any value for that factor would be okay.
Reader Response
Michael Schneider of Saarbruecken Germany suggested a simple nine experiment solution to the warm-up problem.
This one is clearly optimal since even just two factors demand nine experiments. See this Excel spreadsheet.

The Vorpommern Village Road Route in Eastern Mecklenburg-Vorpommern runs in a circuit of approximately 90 km from Anklam to Loitz, passing through Görke, Stolpe and Ziethen before returning to Anklam. The circuit passes through the sublime Peene Valley Nature Reserve and the unique river scenery of the river Peene which, with its many branches, water-filled peat-ditches and densely forested shorelines, provides a habitat for rare flora and fauna.
The Vorpommern Village Road Route runs alongside the river Peene which flows from Lake Kummerow to Anklam and is affectionately known as "the Amazon of the North". Although there is no monsoon season here, the sparsely populated countryside along the river is nevertheless home to an astonishing diversity of flora and fauna. The fish-filled Peene river, the lifeline of one of Central Europe's largest stretches of fenland, is one of the most unspoiled river valleys in the whole of Northern Germany.
Idyllic nature between Lake Müritz and the Baltic
A swan nurtures its brood half-hidden in the reeds while a small family of ducks swims past. Dark blue dragonflies zip across the water in their hundreds; long plumes of seaweed stream through the water like mermaid's hair and there is the mesmerising display of the cranes. It is hard to picture a more idyllic scene. This is a place where you can rendez-vous with a beaver today, take a bicycle trip tomorrow and the day after that perhaps a more adventurous canoeing or boating trip! An evening safari along the Peene, an experience tour to the Viking graves of Menzlin in a solar-powered catamaran, birdwatching or a ranger guided walk on the moors will also help you get to know this true "insider tip" a little better.
A jewel in the crown of Germany's green belt
Visitors to Germany are inexorably drawn to the Vorpommern Village Road Route, a place where the majesty of the Peene meets the wildness of the countryside. In fact, the sheer number of natural wonders on display here are certain to leave you speechless with amazement time and time again.
Nature in all its glory – a feast for the eyes
The introspective beauty of this unspoiled river scenery is best experienced from the water, in a canoe for example. Be both a visitor and observer in this bountiful kingdom of domestic flora and fauna as you drift slowly along the Peene: and why not say hello to the beaver or the otter, or some of their friends while you're at it? You can also discover the countryside at your own pace by bicycle or on foot: that way not one flock of birds or white-tailed eagle soaring on thermals over lake, river or fen will go unspotted.
Spellbound by the unspoiled beauty of the countryside
Cultural attractions include era-spanning buildings such as castles, palaces and Herrenhausen (mansions), historical village churches, monastery ruins, old tree-lined avenues, splendid manor houses and quaint villages largely with their original architecture, whilst countryside attractions include a Vorpommern country estate, a mill in Krenzow and an ostrich farm close to Gützkow. If paradise and the wonders of nature are good enough for you, then pay the Vorpommern Village Road Route a visit.

Entertainment One (eOne) has promoted Laura Clunie to expand the presence of its Family division in Canada and North America.
Clunie has been named vice president of creative affairs and will relocate from London to the company's Toronto headquarters from March 2013.
She will oversee the acquisition and development of eOne Family content and will continue to manage production and development executive Lorna Burkle and Lorna Withrington, acquisitions executive, both based in London. Clunie will also manage Swin Chang, director of development, from her new base in Toronto.
With a development slate that includes many shows already signed to major Canadian broadcasters, Clunie's relocation is hoped to strengthen broadcast ties in the territory and bolster the firm's co-production partnerships.
Olivier Dumont, managing director at eOne Family, said: "As brand awareness for Peppa Pig continues to increase in Canada and USA, It has become increasingly important to have a dedicated person on the ground to deepen our relations with broadcasters and content owners and scope out new opportunities for kids programming in the region."
Clunie joined eOne Family in 2008 and worked on the production of popular kids properties such as Peppa Pig and Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom. She previously spent five years at Chorion where she held production and development responsibilities for some of the UK's biggest children's properties including The Famous Five, Noddy, Olivia and Mr. Men.

Vice President Biden Meets With Pope Benedict
Private meeting was not on the Holy Father's public schedule for June 3.
VATICAN CITY (CNA/EWTN News) — U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden met with Pope Benedict XVI in an unannounced visit to the Vatican June 3. Both sides have been tight-lipped as to what was discussed.
"I have no comment. It was a totally private meeting, and there will no communiqué," Vatican spokesman Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi told CNA on June 3.
In fact, the meeting wasn't even listed on the Pope's daily public schedule. One of the few give-aways was the heavy security surrounding the Port Sant' Anna entrance to the Vatican all morning.
Journalists covering the Pope's meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas June 3 also spotted Biden's car at the Vatican.
Vice President Biden is in Rome to mark the 150th anniversary of the country's unification. Although he is a Catholic, Biden has had a troubled relationship with the Church because of his stance on certain issues, such as abortion.
In fact, after gaining the vice-presidential nomination in 2008, he was criticized by his own bishop, the late Bishop Michael Saltarelli of Wilmington, Del., for his stance on abortion. Biden was subsequently barred from speaking at events in Catholic schools in the diocese.
Biden has repeatedly stated that he believes life begins at conception but that he would not want to impose his personal beliefs on others. This was countered by Bishop Saltarelli in 2004, when he replied:
"No one today would accept this statement from any public servant: 'I am personally opposed to human slavery and racism but will not impose my personal conviction in the legislative arena.' Likewise, none of us should accept this statement from any public servant: 'I am personally opposed to abortion but will not impose my personal conviction in the legislative arena.'"
Biden isn't the first senior Democrat who supports legalized abortion and is Catholic to meet Pope Benedict XVI.
In 2009 then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi also visited the Pope at the Vatican. Afterwards she claimed, "I had the opportunity to praise the Church's leadership in fighting poverty, hunger and global warming, as well as the Holy Father's dedication to religious freedom and his upcoming trip and message to Israel."
This version of events, though, was somewhat contradicted by a Vatican statement issued only hours later:
"His Holiness took the opportunity to speak of the requirements of the natural moral law and the Church's consistent teaching on the dignity of human life from conception to natural death, which enjoin all Catholics, and especially legislators, jurists and those responsible for the common good of society, to work in cooperation with all men and women of good will in creating a just system of laws capable of protecting human life at all stages of its development."
Vice President Biden also had a meeting in Rome with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on the issue of the Middle East.
