  int PREF_W = 800;
  public Main() {
    JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
    buttonPanel.add(new JButton("Foo"));
    buttonPanel.add(Box.createHorizontalStrut(10));
    buttonPanel.add(new JButton("Bar"));

    String[] columnNames = { "Mon", "Tues", "Wed" };
    DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(columnNames, 25);
