+    <abstract>
+      <p>by   Blair MacIntyre and Elizabeth Mynatt</p>
+      <p>The Future Computing Environments (FCE) Group at Georgia Tech
+	is a collection of faculty and students that share a desire to
+	understand the partnership between humans and technology that
+	arises as computation and sensing become ubiquitous.  With
+	expertise covering the breadth of Computer Science, but
+	focusing on HCI, Computational Perception, and Machine
+	Learning, the individual research agendas of the FCE faculty
+	are grounded in a number of shared "living laboratories" where
+	their research is applied to everyday life in the classroom
+	(Classroom 2000), the home (the Aware Home), the office
+	(Augmented Offices), and on one's person.  Professors
+	MacIntyre and Mynatt will discuss a variety of these projects,
+	with an emphasis on the HCI and Computer Science aspects of
+	the FCE work.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+	In addition to their affiliation with the FCE group,
+	Professors Mynatt and MacIntyre are both members of the
+	Graphics, Visualization and Usability Center (GVU) at Georgia
+	Tech.  This interdisciplinary center brings together research
+	in computer science, psychology, industrial engineering,
+	architecture and media design by examining the role of
+	computation in our everyday lives.  During the talk, they will
+	touch on some of the research and educational opportunities
+	available at both GVU and the College of Computing.

+    <abstract>
+      <p>
+       Debugging can be the most difficult and time consuming part of
+       any program's life-cycle. Far from an exact science, it's more
+       of an art ... and close to some kind of dark magic. Cryptic
+       error messages, lousy error checking, and icky things like
+       implicit casts can make it nearly impossible toknow what's
+       going on inside your program.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+	 Several tools are available to help automate your
+	 debuggin. GDB and Purify are among the most powerful
+	 debugging tools available in a UNIX environment. GDB is an
+	 interactive debugger, allowing you to `step' through
+	 aprogram, examine function calls, variable contents, stack
+	 traces and let you look at the state of a program after it
+	 crashes. Purify is a commercial program designed to help find
+	 and remove memory leaks from programs written inlanguages
+	 without automatic garbage collection.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+	This talk will cover how to compile your C and C++ programs
+	for use with GDB and Purify, as well as how to use the
+	available X interfaces. If a purify license is available on
+	undergrad at the time of the talk, we will cover how to use it
+	during runtime.

+
+<h3>Abstract</h3>
+<p>The Internet and the Web have revolutionized our communications, our access
+to information and our business methods. However, there is still much room 
+for improvement. Frank Clegg will discuss Microsoft's vision for what is 
+beyond browsing and the dotcom. Microsoft .NET (pronounced "dot-net") is a 
+new platform, user experience and set of advanced software services planned 
+to make all devices work together and connect seamlessly. With this next 
+generation of software, Microsoft's goal is to make Internet-based 
+computing and communications easier to use, more personalized, and more 
+productive for businesses and consumers. In his new position of president 
+of Microsoft Canada Co., Frank Clegg will be responsible for leading the 
+organization toward the delivery of Microsoft .NET. He will speak about 
+this new platform and the next generation Internet, how software developers 
+and businesses will be able to take advantage of it, and what the .NET 
+experience will look like for consumers and business users.</p>
+
+<h3>The Speaker</h3>
+<p>Frank Clegg was appointed president of Microsoft Canada Co. this month. 
+Prior to his new position, Mr. Clegg was vice-president, Central Region, 
+Microsoft Corp. from 1996 to 2000. In this capacity, he was responsible for 
+sales, support and marketing activities in 15 U.S. states. Mr. Clegg joined 
+Microsoft Corp. in 1991 and headed the Canadian subsidiary until 1996. 
+During that time, Mr. Clegg was instrumental in introducing several key 
+initiatives to improve company efficiency, growth and market share. Mr. 
+Clegg graduated from the University of Waterloo in 1977 with a B. Math.</p>

+only letters are important). Your task is to find the longest palindrome in
+a line of text (if there is a tie, print the leftmost one).</p>

+<p>Our ACM-Style practice  contests involve answering five questions in three
+hours.   Solutions are written  in Pascal, C  or C++.   Seven years in  a row,

+<h3>Easy Question:</h3>
+<p>A palindrome is a sequence of letters that reads the same backwards and
+forwards, such as ``Madam, I'm Adam'' (note that case doesn't matter and
+only letters are important). Your task is to find the longest palindrome in
+a line of text (if there is a tie, print the leftmost one).</p>

+</pre>
+
+<h3>Hard Question:</h3>
+<p>An anagram is a word formed by reordering the letters of another word.
+Find all sets of anagrams that exist within a large dictionary.  The
+input will be a sorted list of words (up to 4000 words), one per line.
+Output each set of anagrams on a separate line.  Each set should be
+in alphabetical order, and all lines of sets should be in alphabetical
+order.  A word with no anagrams is a set of anagrams itself, and should
+be displayed with no modifications.</p>

-	<dt>CD Burner</dt>
-	
-	<dd>
-	  <p>For doing linux burns. It was allocated money on the budget
-	    request - about $300. We should be able to get a decent 12x
-	    burner with that (8x rewrite).</p>
-	  <p>The obvious things to sell are Linux Distros and BSD variants.
-	    Are there any other software that we can legally burn and sell
-	    to students?</p>
-	</dd>
-	<dt>Unix talks</dt>
-	<dd>
-	  <p>Just a talk of the topics to be covered, when, where, whatnot.
-	    Mike was right on this one, this should have been done earlier
-     in the term.  Oh well, maybe we can fix this for next fall term.</p>
-	  
-	</dd>
-	<dt>Game Contest</dt>
-	<dd>
-	  <p>We already put a bit of work into planning the Othello contest
-	    before I read Mike's post. I still think it's viable. I've got
-	    at least 2 people interested in writing entries for it. This
-	    will be talked about more on monday. Hopefully, Rory and I will
-	    be able to present a basic outline of how the contest is going
-	    to be run at that time.</p>

-	  
-	  <p>Current sysadmin (jmbeverl) and I (kvijayan) and
-	    President (geduggan) had a nice conversation about this 2
-	    days ago, having to do with completely erasing all of
-	    peri, installing a clean stable potato debian on it, and
-	    priming it for being a gradual replacement to calum. We'll
