nodequeue

I want to display a specific node in panel layout at specific position

Problem Statement:

Suppose,
I have a nodequeue created with two nodes and I have simple two column panel layout.

Now, I want to display first position node in left part and second position node in right part.

and this should happen implicitly on SAVE button click for nodequeue.

How do I do this?
Please ... I need help here.

This seems like such a straightforward, common requirement and I haven't been able to find or come up with a solution. It also seems like something that would be needed by a newspaper site. I'm sure once there is a solution out in cyberspace it will be appreciated.

Publish one node per day
Allow the user to create as many nodes as s/he wants, whenever s/he wants.
The system will publish one of these nodes per day.

I've seen the question asked:

If you have never seen Bob and his podcasts from Mustardseed, now is your chance to and to bookmark his lessons. Granted some 'casts do not go deep down the rabbit holes but he does give great tutes to get one started.

I had been struggling to understand all the switches and what the cause and effect is with aspects of some Drupal modules. The two referenced podcasts help sort some of this out. Hope they help you as well.

This podcast is regarding Nodequeue:

I suspect that the tables in the Nodequeue module can be optimized, but I'm not sure how to start. Nodequeue allows people to create arbitrarily ordered lists of nodes, and consists of queues and subqueues. A subqueue is a distinct list of nodes that inherits properties from its parent queue. Nodequeue's Smartqueue API allows modules to define new types of subqueues, such as a subqueue per-user or for each taxonomy term of one or more vocabularies. Below is the desc output of nodequeue's tables.
