Collection of two comedies. In 'No Strings Attached' (2011), when
long-time friends Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher)
decide to add a physical dimension to their relationship and move
into 'friends with benefits' territory, they agree to keep things
strictly casual and on a 'no strings' basis. But before long both
of them find things becoming more complicated than planned as those
pesky emotions get in the way. In 'Morning Glory' (2010), a sparky,
ambitious young television producer spies an opportunity to claw
her way up the career ladder when she is offered a job on
'Daybreak', the worst-performing morning chat show in the ratings.
Her decision to hire veteran newscaster Mike Pomeroy (Harrison
Ford) to host the show meets with scepticism from network executive
Jerry (Jeff Goldblum) and co-host Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton), and
with little enthusiasm from Pomeroy himself, who is obliged by his
contract to take this less-than-promising gig. Can Becky overcome
the poor ratings and in-fighting to bring the team together and
transform the show into something to be proud of?
This book is about my lifetime of adventure and inside I explain
how I overcame a hand disability from birth to become a British and
Scottish Rally Champion, but my story is not just about motor
sport: I have also worked for a top Hollywood film producer and
shared breakfast with one of the world's top female film stars. I
have also interacted with two US presidents, and met many other
wonderful people. My book also delves into the realms of working
with top world rally constructor as well as major motor
manufacturer. The many and varied characters I have met during my
lifetime has also made my life so much more colourful, and you can
meet many of these characters within the pages of this book. Yes, I
have met all of life's challenges to date.

This volume contains the proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on
L- guages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded Systems (LCTES 2000),
held June 18, 2000, in Vancouver, Canada. Embedded systems have
developed consid- ably in the past decade and we expect this
technology to become even more important in computer science and
engineering in the new millennium. Interest in the workshop has
been con rmed by the submission of papers from all over the world.
There were 43 submissions representing more than 14 countries. Each
submitted paper was reviewed by at least three members of the
program committee. The expert opinions of many outside reviewers
were in- luable in making the selections and ensuring the high
quality of the program, for which, we express our sincere
gratitude. The nal program features one invited talk, twelve
presentations, and ve poster presentations, which re?ect recent -
vances in formal systems, compilers, tools, and hardware for
embedded systems. We owe a great deal of thanks to the authors,
reviewers, and the members of the program committee for making the
workshop a success. Special thanks to Jim Larus, the General Chair
of PLDI 2000 and Julie Goetz of ACM for all their help and support.
Thanks should also be given to Sung-Soo Lim at Seoul National
University for his help in coordinating the paper submission and
review process. We also thank Professor Gaetano Borriello of the
University of Washington for his invited talk on Chinook, a
hardware-software co-synthesis CAD tool for embedded systems.
