...heavily armored Cadillac limousine. He'll be shadowed by Secret Service vans crammed with heavily armed SWAT teams and electronic-warfare gear capable of jamming detonators designed to set off certain explosives. Electronic devices - like those already in use in the D.C. subway - will be used above ground, to sniff the air for biological or chemical agents. They'll be aided by at least four Army dogs that will be sniffing for hidden explosives. Mike, a 6-year-old Belgian Malinois, has worked presidential details before, according to his handler, Staff Sergeant Daniel Konrardy. The dog is calm in crowds...

The mice (Sniff and Scurry) instinctively understand that the paradigm has shifted--they need to adapt and look for cheese in a different place. So they do, and they find New Cheese. The humans are more resistant to change. Hem, the tale's dunderhead, indignantly bellows, "Who moved my cheese?" and refuses to accept...
...treadmill desk could be the most useful juxtaposition since PEOPLE magazine put a scratch-and-sniff patch on its Sexiest Men Alive pictures. Like the holy grail of time savers, the walking desk doubles down on the stuff you have to do, freeing you up for the things you want to do--specifically, not work and not exercise. But can it be so simple? Could office work be, as the brochure puts it, "a moving experience"? I spent a few days on a Steelcase Walkstation, one of several desk-treadmill combos available, to find...
