Book excerpt: Paulie Weston, a mentally retarded man with a limited ability to speak, is chosen as the subject of a groundbreaking research project. Dr. Pamela Miles has devised a drug cocktail she thinks will give Paulie a brief period of clarity and the ability to communicate. She must act surreptitiously because what she plans is not an approved therapy. Once administered, the drugs give Paulie a voice and transform him into a thoughtful adult with a storehouse of memories. Since the experiment is unsanctioned, Dr. Miles forbids Paulie from seeing or speaking to anyone outside the hospital. Paulie decides he must use the little time he has to somehow find his family. To do that, he must overcome both his own childlike innocence and the outside forces committed to stopping him. His journey is one of reflection and self-discovery. He encounters the good and bad sides of normal life as he struggles to find the people he loves most. Smart Time is a story that will touch and enlighten you as you begin to see inside the workings of a disabled mind.

Book excerpt: There's an 80 percent chance you're poor. Time poor, that is. Four out of five adults report feeling that they have too much to do and not enough time to do it. These time-poor people experience less joy each day. They laugh less. They are less healthy, less productive, and more likely to divorce. In one study, time stress produced a stronger negative effect on happiness than unemployment. How can we escape the time traps that make us feel this way and keep us from living our best lives? Time Smart is your playbook for taking back the time you lose to mindless tasks and unfulfilling chores. Author and Harvard Business School professor Ashley Whillans will give you proven strategies for improving your "time affluence." The techniques Whillans provides will free up seconds, minutes, and hours that, over the long term, become weeks and months that you can reinvest in positive, healthy activities. Time Smart doesn't stop at telling you what to do. It also shows you how to do it, helping you achieve the mindset shift that will make these activities part of your everyday regimen through assessments, checklists, and activities you can use right away. The strategies Whillans presents will help you make the shift to time-smart living and, in the process, build a happier, more fulfilling life.

After a through peer-review process, the SOCO 2012 International Program Committee selected 75 papers which are published in these conference proceedings, and represents an acceptance rate of 38%. In this relevant edition a special emphasis was put on the organization of special sessions. Three special sessions were organized related to relevant topics as: Soft computing models for Control Theory & Applications in Electrical Engineering, Soft computing models for biomedical signals and data processing and Advanced Soft Computing Methods in Computer Vision and Data Processing. The selection of papers was extremely rigorous in order to maintain the high quality of the conference and we would like to thank the members of the Program Committees for their hard work in the reviewing process. This is a crucial process to the creation of a high standard conference and the SOCO conference would not exist without their help.
