If so, read this tip to learn some strategies for prioritizing work. The basic idea is to write down everything you have to do and break it into three groups -- absolute necessities, things you think are generally important and things that might be good to do if you had the time for them. Order them in A, B and C columns, then prioritize the columns and get cracking on the top of column A. >> For the complete tip, CLICK: http://search390.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid10_gci945542,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=480511 Got a handy tech tip of your own?

The German Hunting Protection League has set up a Web site, www.wildtiere-live.de, where you can peek in (and listen in) on the lives of three wild boars, three wild sows and more than 50 of their piglets. The happy tuskers live in an enclosed but natural forest habitat in the mountains of western Germany. They might live like pigs and act rather boorish, but people don't seem to care; so far, more than one million visitors have checked them out online. The site's been up all of two weeks.
