SAMPSON, TEXAS (Henderson County). Sampson was off Farm Road 1615 nine miles southeast of Athens in southern Henderson County. The area was first settled before the Civil War, and by the 1890s a dispersed agricultural community had developed, centered around a schoolhouse. As late as the mid-1930s a school and a number of houses were still located in the area. After World War II the school closed, and by the early 1990s only a few widely scattered houses remained.

There are many ways to password protect and encrypt small pieces of data on a Mac. You can use Keychain Access to encrypt a note in your keychain. You can use Disk Utility to create a small encrypted disk image. The app Evernote allows you to encrypt a piece of text inside a note. You can also use the Terminal to create a password protected zip file.
Hi this is Gary with MacMost Now. On today's episode let me show you three different ways to securely store a bit of information on your Mac.
Now there is a ton of ways to secure all the information on your Mac. You can set passwords for user account and then use fire vault to encrypt the entire user account for instance. But what if you just wanted to encrypt a tiny bit of information. Like maybe say a code for a padlock or the number of your safety deposit box or a map that shows you where you buried hidden treasure. Well you can do that very easily in a variety of different ways. Let me show you three different ones.
So the first one uses keychain. You want to run Keychain Access which is found in your utilities folder in your Applications folder. This is where your Mac stores all different things like passwords you use for different accounts and websites and tons of different stuff in there. You can see there are different categories listed on the left. You want to go to the Secured Notes category. This is kind of your own do whatever you want with category. You can create some secure notes.
So let's create one by pressing the + button here at the bottom. You want to give the item a name. So maybe you call this say padlock code and then you give it the code right there. And you say add. So now it is added to your Keychain. At this point it is securely encrypted but it is easy to get to because usually for most users when you are logged into your Mac you are logged into Keychain as well. So all you need to do is to run Keychain Access, go to the secure notes here, and double click on the padlock code and it will come. Except that when you hit show note it is going to ask you to enter your keychain password and it won't show you the data until you enter that password. So somebody has to know both your user password to log onto your Mac but also the keychain password to go on because it is asked here a second time even if you are logged into the keychain under normal circumstances.
Now even though there are a lot of tutorials that show you that method I don't really like it. It is a bit convoluted and there are a lot of better ways to do it like this one.
So let's say you store the information that you want inside a simple text file. Just use TextEdit to create it. I've created a Padlock file from TextEdit and its got, you can see the contents in there are the numbers. I've put it in a folder called Secrets. The idea is that I actually want to protect everything in here so I can have padlock code, I can have an image with a map on it, I can do all sorts of things in here.
So the way to do this is to run Disk Utility and with Disk Utility you can do something called New Disk Image from folder. So let's do that. I'll go in and find under Documents there's that Secrets folder I created. I'll create an image from that and what I'm going to do here is I'm going to set the image format, just a compressed image format, but I'm going to set the encryption to 128-bit encryption and I'm going to save it in the same location under Documents and I'll save it and it's going to ask me to enter a password. I'm going to enter in a good password (not in this case, not really, but you should) and then you can have it remember the password in your Keychain which is handy if you need to access it all the time or say forget that because I want to enter the password every single time I open this up and say okay. What will happen is it will create this disk image and we will close out Disk Utility here and you see I still have the original folder. I want to toss that and I've thrown that away. Now I have this Secrets.dmg and its not even mounted. You can see it is not listed here on the left. So if I want to get to it, get to the contents of it, I need to double click it to open it up, enter that same password (don't forget it) and say okay and it will open up the disk image. Once the disk image is opened up you can see I have access to it. It is now on the left under devices and then here I've got the rtf file and when I'm done viewing the information I simply eject it and now it is no longer mounted. The dmg file which is secure and and 128-bit encrypted is still there and I can only access it with the password.
The cool thing about this is that I can drag and drop it to say a flash drive, or another computer or backup drive. It is still encrypted and has all this cool data in it and only I can get to because I'm the only one that has the password.
Now neither of these methods are particularly quick to do. There is a lot of steps involved. What if you really quickly want to encrypt something. Well, if you are user of Evernote then you can do this very easily inside Evernote.
So here I am inside Evernote and I have no notes here in this particular notebook so I'm going to create a brand new note. I'm just going to click that right there and I'm going to call it Secrets and the cool thing about doing this in Evernote is you don't have to encrypt the entire note as you may expect. You can encrypt only an important part. So I can do something like Padlock Code and then I can enter it in and then the cool thing is that I can select just the text that I want to encrypt. So I can leave the words Padlock Code unencrypted so I can see what's there. I'm going to, there are a lot of different ways to do this. I'm going to control click on it and I'm going to select Encrypt Selected Text and here I can enter a pass phrase, password, and I can even do a hint which is really handy, and then I can select whether or not to remember it. In other words I enter it in once and it will show me the data in there until I quit Evernote and then I have to enter it again. I'm not going to do that for this one because I want to keep it super secret and hit okay.
So now I've got this note here and Padlock Code and you can see it's this little encrypted content thing and I have to click on it and say show encrypted text and hit the password and now it will show me that and it instantly, as soon as I click away, it is gone. So now I can in the Secrets note I can do all sorts of things, enter in other codes, and encrypt those. I can use a different password for each one of these. There we go. So I've got two encrypted pieces of data and I can encrypt huge blocks of text and information, everything, inside of the note or just select the entire note and encrypt it as well.
So every note wins as far as how easy and versatile it is to encrypt a small bit of data but if you want to stick something on say a flash drive or send a file to somebody and be able to encrypt it when it gets to their computer then a disk image is probably the way to go.
So one final bonus method if you are comfortable using the terminal, you can go into the terminal, navigate to the folder you want. I'm here in the same Secrets folder I created before and you can see I've listed the contents and there is the Padlock file. You can use the zip command and dash E for encrypt and then give it the name you want, so say Padlock.zip, and then give it the file that you want to encrypt. So Padlock.rtf, that's the command there. It is going to ask me for a password and verify the password. Now I've got that. If I list the files there you can see I still have both. So I'm going to have to trash the one I don't want, the rtf file. But if I go to the Finder now I can see the cool thing is that I don't have to use the terminal to look at the contents of it. I can just double click on the zip file. It is going to ask me for that password, and it will decompress it.
Now the disadvantage of this is that the fact that it has now decompressed it and made it into a file. So now once I look at the contents of it I have to select it and delete it. I still have the zip file there. I get rid of the original too. But every time I want to look at it it is creating a copy of it that I can then look at. The advantage of this though may be that it probably works on multiple systems. This may work on Windows. This may work on Linux. Anything that uses a fairly robust zip application should be able to get to this file by using the password.
So there is not three, but four different ways to encrypt a tiny bit of information with a password.
I hope you found this useful. Until next time this is Gary with MacMost Now.

Cilantro4 reviews
First Reviewed By: FoodCritic
For those of you who don't know Cilantro, they started out in Cairo in Zamalek in 1999 and have since gone on to open their coffee stores across Cairo, Alexandria, and then Picadilly in London. They now have over twenty stores around the world, and were at one point (in 2005) in the cross hairs of Starbucks (According to their site) who lost the bid to buy out Delicious Inc (owners of Cilantro) to Mr Hisham El Sewedy. Nice outdoor seating in the Le Chateau Mall makes this a place you can linger.

Just ate at cilantro and I am pleased with the decor of the place. I think the location is good and the mall I going to be a hit once the rest of the shops open.
I had the Ruben and was not so bad, but the one in Egypt is miles better. The trick was in the sauerkraut and the bread, which seemed fresher in Cairo then here.
I was told that there is a large family section which makes a good choice for families. The singles section was excellent as well. I can see a lot of people are going to make this their favorite spot.

Well,it is a nice new place to discover but ,me and my friends did not realy like the way the food is presanted in an open fridge just when you walk in the family section,it gives the cafe a cheaper look .
The food was okay ,but nothing special,I had better sandwiches before.The presantaion of the food at the tables was not up the the standart of the place. We all expected more of it,by the time we all got our coffe it was not even hot anymore.I went back a few weeks later with my family and nothing had changed.

Jordan Crawford's time with the Golden State Warriors was rocky, to say the least, and it's no surprise that they want no part of him next season.
According to Marc Spears of Yahoo Sports, the Warriors are looking to sign-and-trade Crawford, who is an unrestricted free agent. The Bulls, Mavericks, Lakers, and Knicks are reportedly interested in Crawford's services.
The fourth-year guard out of Xavier was traded to the Warriors midseason in an effort to provide more scoring off the bench. The Warriors statistically had one of the worst benches in the league last season, and they wanted Crawford to be that spark.
At times he was, but Crawford was more erratic than productive. He averaged 8.4 points and 1.4 assists in 42 games with the Warriors, and those 1.4 assists per game are all you need to know about his tenure in Golden State. The ball would often stop moving once it got into his hands; Crawford loved isolation plays for himself and taking long, ill-advised jumpers. This is part of the reason why the Warriors traded for Steve Blake later on in the season, acquiring a sure-handed, veteran player who can come of the bench and share the ball, unlike Crawford.
With newly-hired head coach Steve Kerr wanting a free-moving offense that shares the ball, it's no surprise that the Warriors want no part of Crawford anymore.
Look for him to be with another team relatively soon, whether it's by trade or free agency.

Breaking News: HIV/AIDS Protesters Arrested Near Zucotti Park on World AIDS Day
Roughly 10 people associated with a rally to support housing funding for those living with HIV/AIDS were arrested this morning at the intersection of Broadway and Park Place. Occupy Wall Street members teamed up with the rally's organizers Housing Works, VOCAL-NY and Health GAP to celebrate World AIDS Day, while also protesting Mayor Michael Bloomberg's recent cuts to HIV/AIDS housing and services.— While Mayor Bloomberg hosted his annual World AIDS Day breakfast uptown, a crowd of around 100 protestors ambled up Broadway chanting, "No More Budget Cuts on Our Backs," "Bloomberg Billionaire" and "AIDS Hurts, Housing Works."
The marchers seemed to diverge into two sections. While a majority made their way into City Hall Park, a group of roughly 20 protesters stood at a crosswalk, stopping traffic. While cabs, buses and vehicles honked their horns, the crowd remained, eventually dispersing to reveal about 10 AIDS activists chained together, donning dark green Robin Hood-inspired tunics and caps with the words "Take It Back" written across a symbol of a bag of money.
"Keep walking, you will get arrested if you do not stay on the sidewalk," shouted organizers of the rally to most of the crowd. The group of protesters teemed on the edge of the sidewalk where Park Place and Broadway meet.

The New York Knicks have given permission to Donnie Walsh to speak with other teams about an executive position, CBS Sports reports.
Donnie Walsh helped rebuild the Knicks during his tenure with the franchise and acquired Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony in that time. Although Walsh's contract was not renewed, he left a lasting impact on the team.
Walsh is now a consultant for the team but this report indicates that the Knicks are willing to let Walsh move on.
"Donnie's very interested in continuing to work on a full-time basis," Walsh's agent, Steve Kauffman, told CBSSports.com.
Walsh should have been given the option to stay long-term with the Knicks, but instead he was left without a deal. Walsh can make an immediate impact for any team and his services will surely be wanted.

Tweets from Digital Strategy Conference Future of Work Panel
Erik Brynjolfsson, MIT Center for Digital Business
Socialogy Interview: Benjamin Dyett
Benjamin and I met a few years ago, when I was relentlessly searching for the right sort of coworking space in New York City. A friend who had overlapped with me at another coworking space, down in SOHO, suggested that I meet the founders of a new place on South Park and 29th Street called Grind, and when I read the manifesto at the website, I was ready. For example, it includes these:
Less Chains, More BallsPut The Funk In FunktionalWork Liquid
They had me at 'Work Liquid', really, but when I sat down with Benjamin and several of his partners to chat about Grind and their aspirations, I was sold.
About Benjamin Dyett
Benjamin's write up for the 2012 Re:Working conference is too good not to reuse:
Benjamin was a mild-mannered lawyer who woke up one day and, together with some partners, decided, Hey, let's change the future of work.
So, along with his friends, Stuart and Karina, and Co:, Cool Hunting, Behance, Magic + Might and Breakfast, he created Grind, a platform for working in a whole new way, outside the system. Built for free-range humans who carry their offices in their backpacks, Grind is the antidote to everything you knew about work. It's dedicated to taking all of the frustrations of the old work experience and pulverizing them to a dust so fine it actually oils the wheels of the machine (sorry, old work experience, but you had it coming).
Throughout his career, Benjamin has founded, funded, operated and advised successful start-ups. He has long experience in real estate and corporate law, has represented financial institutions and prominent businesspeople, owned his own consulting firm, and has always been at the epicenter of where business and imagination meet.
The Interview
Stowe Boyd: We haven't spoken in a while, and Grind has been expanding. What's the state of the art and practice in coworking here at the start of 2014? Has it become mainstream? Has Grind tempered its somewhat confrontational rhetoric?The Grind brand is forward thinking and edgy, all while being authentic and about getting work done. I am not sure that I would call our "voice" confrontational, just more real. - Benjamin Dyett
Benjamin Dyett: Grind came into being in 2011. Since then, the collaborative workspace landscape has evolved and Grind has evolved with it. As more and different people choose to work in a collaborative environment, the design and amenities required in our spaces have changed. From our first space on Park Ave. So. to our two new spaces on 39th/Broadway [see Grind New York] and in Chicago [see Grind LaSalle], you can see the implementation of the lessons we have learned from our members - from more phone booths to more nooks/crannies to have a short/private conversation.
Also, the expansion of the industry has not slowed. Not only are the projections for growth in the independent worker category "on track" for them to make up more than 1/2 of the total American workforce by 2023, but mainstream corporations are adopting the collaborative workspace platform as a more productive and efficient format.
The Grind brand is forward thinking and edgy, all while being authentic and about getting work done. I am not sure that I would call our "voice" confrontational, just more real.
SB: You've expanded to more than the one space that you had when I met you originally. What's the number and location of Grind spaces, today?Instead of subordinating yourself so that your employer's corporate agenda can be propelled forward, we are here to help entrepreneurs build a community where the members stand ready to collaborate with each other for mutual benefit. - Benjamin Dyett
BD: Three…our original space at Park Ave./29th Street, our 2nd Manhattan space at Broadway/39th Street, and our new Chicago space at LaSalle/Madison Streets.
SB: The number of freelancers in the workforce is steadily growing, but as I recall, you had a sizable number of full-time employees who were working from Grind. Is that the case? Do you see more remote workers at Grind, whose headquarters are in other cities or countries?
BD: We still have a number of members who represent the "outpost" office for companies located elsewhere. However, I think the point I need to make here is that Grind has its own culture and we need to be careful when accepting people into our community who work for medium to large companies. We need to make sure that new members come to Grind ready to participate in our culture, collaborate, and share expertise - they need to come ready to adopt our community culture or incorporate it into their existing culture. This is where our application process comes into play - it is our way to ensure that new members are a cultural fit for our community and that Grind remains an oasis for people who would rather work in a COMMUNITY than a COMPANY.
SB: I've written a great deal about the need for a new, deeper work culture, one that transcends the shallow organizational cultures found in business. And those adopting that culture have put certain principles about cooperation ahead of the norms that traditionally are associated with subordinating ourselves to a corporate agenda. Is that what you are getting at?
BD: Yes, instead of subordinating yourself so that your employer's corporate agenda can be propelled forward, we are here to help entrepreneurs build a community where the members stand ready to collaborate with each other for mutual benefit.
SB: I read and wrote about Square's new offices in San Francisco (see Another take on offices: something other than open or closed) which were intended to feel more like a city than a business office. Might Grind someday create larger workspaces, that allow multiple businesses to share facilities — like cafés, conference rools, and library-like areas — while also having private offices? I know that older business office services — like Regus — have done something like this, although it's less like a city or a hotel experience, and more like a shared conventional office.Grind remains an oasis for people who would rather work in a COMMUNITY than a COMPANY. - Benjamin Dyett
BD: All that I can definitively say about future Grinds is that they will be different than the spaces we have created to date. We are here to meet the needs of our members and that community is growing and changing along with the independent worker landscape. We are committed to evolving/changing Grind in our quest to build stronger, more connected communities. Whatever future changes come you can rest assured that they will be executed in a very Grind-like fashion.
SB: Benjamin, thanks for your time, and thanks again for hosting the NYC chapter of the Future of Work community's first meeting next week. I appreciate it. I think it is more than apt that we are having several of our initial meetings in coworking spaces.
BD: Grind is excited to participate in the birth of your project. We are always happy to participate in efforts to expand collaboration around work and professional productivity. Good Luck!!!

First Meeting of the NYC Chapter of Future of Work
We had a great start in New York last night. A long list of attendees — some old friends and many new — came together for a chance to discuss their personal reasons for coming, and then were subjected to me laying out my own rationale: for trying to bring together a Future of Work community as the start of a movement, a movement dedicated to changing the ways of work.
I offered up a subset of my manifesto for a new way of work, entitled Leanership: A New Way Of Work (see the presentation here, at Haiku Deck). And I sketched out some thoughts about how the community might work, at the chapter level, but I know that will grow and evolve as more people become involved, and the chapters start to take on a life of their own.
Big thanks to Grind, whose wonderful Broadway coworking space was our venue. The staff were immensely helpful, and I got a minute to chat with Benjamin Dyett, one of the founders. He told me that the Chicago Grindspace has now opened, joining the two in New York City, (And the Grindism manifesto is awesome.) Later today I will be publishing an interview with Benjamin, in the Socialogy series.
I want to especially thank Guy Alvarez, the NYC Chapter chief, for his efforts, and the larger task ahead. He and his fellow chapter chiefs — Kat Mandelstein in Austin, and Laura Gaunt in Boston — will be working over the coming months to reach out to their respective communities to pull in new voices and contributors, with new ideas about formats, speaker, and other activities.
Austin's first meeting is this Thursday 27 March 6:30pm Austin time (Tech Ranch, 9111 Jollyville Rd, Austin, TX 78759). Please RSVP if you plan to attend. I am hoping that we can use the Interwebs so I can be piped in.
Boston's first meeting is next week, and I will be attending. That will be held at Ideapaint, 40 Broad St, Boston MA 02109 on Thursday 3 April at 6:30pm Boston time. Please RSVP.
I've only seen one photo so far from last night's event. Here I am with three members of Change Agents Worldwide, with (left to right) Rob Cladera, Joachim Stroh, me, and Dany DeGrave.
And a final invitation to join us, and to consider starting other chapters. This is the start of a movement, and we will need to incite a disruption — a discontinuity — so that some of the old, bad ways can be halted, and a new way of work can be coaxed into existence.

Neil Usher, All tomorrow's parties
Instructions: read as quickly as you can. It's more fun that way. And you're probably on a conference call.
The future of work: it's going to be dispersed flexible agile dexterous and very bendy and driven by presence-mimicking technology and sophisticated collaborative tools replicating our everyday functionality that mean we don't have to be in the office at all ever again (hooray, maybe) so we don't need to commute with all of the other people who don't have any choice because they are condemned to process monitored roles in the taylorist tradition like this black and white photo of an old office with people sitting in rows at typewriters and so our carbon footprint shrivels to that of an amoeba until we take the whole extended family on holiday to the Caribbean and yet the office is actually quite useful and brings us together because there is really no substitute for genuine face-time especially if you have a café with real lattes and of course you can't go for a beer online and so we may well need the office after all because it's a club and a club is a good thing. Isn't it?
Technology: it's great because its liberated us from all sorts of stuff that we can't think of and we have social tools and channels we never had before to meet new people and expand our networks and share pictures of glasses of wine we are having with other people or probably on our own wishing we were with other people and we can all quip about our favourite operating system which of course isn't windows as a matter of principle but then again its maybe not such a good thing because we are always on 247365 despite the existence of the off button or a flat battery and we will never get another job again because of that beach party photo on facebook with the swedish volleyball team we're dopamine slaves it's like our lives have been intruded upon irrevocably and will be a lot more and the next thing our fridge will be online and spying on our eating habits and reporting them to MI5 or someone else secret and untouchable and so we should be very frightened. Probably.
Workplace design: it's all about collaboration and team spaces because we all work much better together and no-one wants to sit at a desk and do e-mails because that's all so last year we want to sit around in huddles on soft things with culturally obtuse names that took longer to source than the product took to design so we cram all of the desks over in the corner on top of themselves because they are so not de rigueur and instead put in slides and tabletennistables and climbing walls because we all spend the majority our lives at the office or maybe don't anymore and everything has to look like a poodleplex or it won't win an award but it's been proven that some people work better alone there was a TED talk about it along with a talk about everything else and we can't forget that personal introspective time is vital because we lose 95% of our productive day being disturbed by unproven statistics based on a representative sample of five people at the burger van on the A13 and we shouldn't shun the quiet unsocial types and need to design space that suits them too because there is a chance that under their enormous noise-reducing headphones they may be doing great work even if they can't play tabletennis. Potentially.
Go read the whole thing.
Ross Douthat Things A World Without Work Is Fine. It's Not.
Ross Douthat sees a world just ahead where blue collar work is steadily on the decline:
[…] the decline of work isn't actually some wild Marxist scenario. It's a basic reality of 21st-century American life, one that predates the financial crash and promises to continue apace even as normal economic growth returns. This decline isn't unemployment in the usual sense, where people look for work and can't find it. It's a kind of post-employment, in which people drop out of the work force and find ways to live, more or less permanently, without a steady job. So instead of spreading from the top down, leisure time — wanted or unwanted — is expanding from the bottom up. Long hours are increasingly the province of the rich.
Of course, nobody is hailing this trend as the sign of civilizational progress. Instead, the decline in blue-collar work is often portrayed in near-apocalyptic terms — on the left as the economy's failure to supply good-paying jobs, and on the right as a depressing sign that government dependency is killing the American work ethic.
But it's worth linking today's trends to the older dream of a post-work utopia, because there are ways in which the decline in work-force participation is actually being made possible by material progress.
Douthat's arguments are macro-economic, and conveniently blur the details, particularly the micro-economic troubles of specific people who had assumed they'd have continued employment when they joined the workforce in the past, or as the graduate high school, today. The social safety net that a prosperous society could — in principle — provide is often absent. As a result, people scramble to make ends meet with multiple part-time jobs, at the mercy of employers who are optimizing for margins, not employee convenience.
So in the final analysis, his argument boils down to a 'maybe someday' scenario. Yes, we may have a future where people that might have once worked 40 hours a week on an assembly line, cleaning floors in office buildings, or pumping gas are instead working 20 hours a week at a community center in exchange for their basic needs. But today, people who run through their savings and unemployment benefits while trying to find work can hit a wall, and afterward, their finances and options might be permanently damaged.
Douthat makes this seem like the workless are opting out of work, philosophically:
There is a certain air of irresponsibility to giving up on employment altogether, of course. But while pundits who tap on keyboards for a living like to extol the inherent dignity of labor, we aren't the ones stocking shelves at Walmart or hunting wearily, week after week, for a job that probably pays less than our last one did. One could make the case that the right to not have a boss is actually the hardest won of modern freedoms: should it really trouble us if more people in a rich society end up exercising it?
This is the subtlest form of blaming the victim: choosing one aspect of victimhood that seems positive, and arguing that those who comment on the sad state of the victim are trying to deny them that positive aspect. So if I make the case that in a healthy and supportive society, all those that want work should be able to find it, Douthat wonders why I would deny the workless the joy of having no boss.
Stress, Trust, And Meditation
The biggest single problem in most workplaces is stress. Stress can be caused by a hundred different factors — like fearfulness, feeling overwhelmed, lack of autonomy, aggression — but it likewise can be reduced significantly by a number of well understood techniques.
The most important single thing that management can do to increase the well-being of the workforce is to stem factors leading to stress. As perhaps the most important example, we should agree to a complete end to any attempts to control people's behavior through fear, such as threats about being fired, demoted, or forced to take on unwanted tasks.
The single best thing management can do is to foster trust in the workplace. John Helliwell's research shows that workers are willing to make considerable economic tradeoffs to work in companies where there are higher levels of trust (see What to do about the disengaged workforce). His work showed that 'a firm managing to provide better jobs (as measured by some package of the non-financial job characteristics connected to higher levels of life satisfaction) would be able to reap rewards in some combination of dimensions: lower quit rates, lower monitoring costs, easier (and hence less expensive) hiring, and more effective effort from employees at all wage levels.'
But companies can also attack stress head on, and help workers cope. One promising area is meditation, which starts with a bad rap, but offers a great deal in stress reduction, as Mirabai Bush relates in a piece about her company's efforts in teaching meditation within the corporate setting:
Teaching Meditation Techniques to Organizations - Mirabai Bush via the NYTimes.com
At first, resistance was everywhere, but so were the possibilities. A litigation lawyer thought that if he became more compassionate toward the opposition in his cases, he couldn't be a zealous advocate for clients. But he found that being calm, clear and compassionate gave him better insights and better timing.
An environmental leader thought that if others knew he practiced meditation, they wouldn't take him seriously — and would write him off as a tree-hugger without scientific rigor. Instead, he found that he became more resilient, and less overwhelmed by climate-change predictions, and that he collaborated better with colleagues.
Magazine editors thought that they would miss deadlines; in fact, they learned to focus on priorities and work better in teams to meet the deadlines in new ways. Data-driven Google engineers questioned the value of developing capacities that can't be quantified, but many of them learned better ways to communicate. One engineer told me his wife had noticed a change in the way he listened to her. She asked him: "What happened to you?"
[…] Neuroscientists have confirmed much of what we were experiencing: that meditation improves attention, reduces stress hormones, increases appreciation and compassion for others and helps us recover faster from negative information.
Personally, this work has made me feel more connected to the world. Watching the responses of so many people — from an economics professor to Army soldiers — I've come to believe that it's a basic human need to be calm and clear, to be aware of ourselves and others, to be kind and collaborative, to be fully present in each moment.
When you take away the residue of stress, even if nothing else in a person's work setting is changed, things slow down. There is time to think, time to reflect before acting.
As T.S. Eliot styled it, we can be 'at the still point of the turning world', and then get back into the dance of work, but breathing a bit deeper, and seeing a bit farther.
Do Meetings Make Us Stupid?
Meetings really do decrease our cognitive abilities.
Attending meetings lowers IQ, makes you stupid - Rebecca Smith
Meetings make people stupid because they impair their ability to think for themselves, scientists have found.
The performance of people in IQ tests after meetings is significantly lower than if they are left on their own, with women more likely to perform worse than men.
Researchers at the Virginia Tech Crilion Research institute in the US said people's performance dropped when they were judged against their peers.
Read Montague, who led the study, said: "You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain-dead, but our findings suggest that they may make you act brain-dead as well.
"We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ. Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on cognitive tasks against their peers, and broadcast those rankings to them, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems. The social feedback had a significant effect."
Students from two universities with an average IQ of 126 were subsequently pitted against each other, and told how they were performing in comparison to the others after answering each question.
Researchers found that most people performed worse when they were ranked against their peers, suggesting the social situation itself affected how well they completed the IQ tests.
The study raises questions over how intelligence is measured and whether it is fixed, experts said.
Co-author Steven Quartz, professor of philosophy in the Social Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, said: "This study tells us the idea that IQ is something we can reliably measure in isolation without considering how it interacts with social context is essentially flawed.
"Furthermore, this suggests that the idea of a division between social and cognitive processing in the brain is really pretty artificial. The two deeply interact with each other."
There is a growing body of evidence for social cognition, showing how tightly our reasoning is linked to social context and interactions. Obviously, learning what makes us more productive is primary, but seeing proof that some behaviors have negative impacts on our reasoning — like small-group competition of the sort that can occur in meetings — means that we should be reorganizing work to minimize those effects.
Study: Remote-Work Programs Benefit Employers Too →
The majority of respondents in a recent Microsoft-sponsored survey believe they are more productive away from the office, but management hasn't gotten the memo:
via press release
Sixty percent of respondents to the Microsoft Telework survey — conducted among 3,600 employees in 36 cities nationwide — say they are actually more productive and efficient when working remotely. With less time spent commuting and fewer cubicle "drive bys" causing distractions, respondents say, more time can be spent on the task in front of them.
The catch? By and large, employers aren't catching on. Only 41 percent of those surveyed work for companies with established remote-working policies, and just 15 percent believe their company supports flexible work arrangements. Despite a wealth of new technologies that can facilitate collaboration among workers no matter where they are, employers are still concerned about whether they're getting the most from employees.
And a lot of insecure managers want to eyeball employees, even when it doesn't add to productivity at all.

The Miami Dolphins really want to add an offensive tackle after losing Jake Long in free agency, but they will need to tread cautiously in negotiations with both the Kansas City Chiefs and Branden Albert. While Albert would be the upgrade at left tackle that the Dolphins covet, his $9 million price tag seems bloated to me. But the Dolphins have been reckless spenders this offseason, and the team is reportedly willing to shell the money Albert wants.
However, Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post (soon-to-be of the Boston Globe) reports that the Dolphins think Albert isn't worth a second-round pick. This isn't just the opinion of the source, but rather news from the source stating the Dolphins agree with NFL analyst Ross Tucker that Branden Albert isn't worth the second-round price tag from the Chiefs.
If the Chiefs and Dolphins can agree on shipping a third-rounder to Kansas City, then the deal would most likely go through. The Chiefs will likely get an additional pick on top of that third-rounder if it comes to that, because they are going to sap out everything they can get for Albert. The Chiefs have more leverage at this moment in time, while Albert holds almost all the leverage on his end of the table.
Branden Albert will likely be the next starting left tackle for the Miami Dolphins, but I really think the Dolphins need to watch out. Albert is a good player, but he wants to get paid like an elite tackle. In my opinion, Albert is not worth that kind of money and should be getting what the New York Giants gave Will Beatty.

UPDATE, Jan. 25 11:50 a.m.
The Toledo Blade called for Terhar to resign.
"Nothing Ms. Terhar could do to improve the education of Ohio's children as president, or even a member, of the state board can offset or undo the damage she has done by setting an appalling example of intolerance and ignorance," the Blade wrote. Read the rest here.
Original post
COLUMBUS — In an effort led by the Ohio Democratic Party, more than 65,000 letters were sent to the governor and members of the state school board demanding the resignation of Debe Terhar, president of the Ohio Board of Education.
Terhar, a Republican from Green Township, set off a waive of criticism Tuesday when she re-posted an item from a Facebook friend that linked President Barack Obama's gun control proposals to Adolf Hitler.
Terhar later removed the post and then her whole Facebook page.
She emailed an apology to members of the school board and in a statement to reporters said she regretted "the consequences of carelessly sharing" the information about Obama.
That's not enough, Democrats said, because she refused "to immediately and unequivocally apologize for her dangerous comparison." They said they collected the tens of thousands of letters in less than four hours.
Terhar did not return a phone call from The Enquirer seeking comment.
Gov. John R. Kasich, who is in Switzerland, does not have the power to remove Terhar because she is elected to the state board. However, Democrats accused him of protecting "his political crony, refusing to do the right thing and call for her resignation."
Kasich told the Columbus Dispatch Wednesday that Terhar's Facebook post was a mistake and that she has "said she's sorry." He was referring to the email she sent to board members.

On César Chávez's Birthday, teachers at César Chávez Academy (CCA), Detroit's largest charter school won an impressive settlement that will return educators to the school and provide over $75,000 in back pay. Representatives from the teachers union, The César Chávez Academy Alliance of Charter Teachers & Staff (CCA ACTS), reached a late deal on Mondayevening with The Leona Group—the for-profit company that manages the day-to-day operations of the charter school.
"This win could not have come on a better day," exclaimed Rose Crowley, a Reading Specialist at CCA High School. "It's incredible that we were able to celebrate this victory on Cesar Chavez's birthday, and I'm elated that we were able to share this moment with hundreds of our school's amazing students and parents."
CCA ACTS is negotiating a first contract with the CCA Board of Directors and The Leona Group. CCA teachers were joined by over 600 parents, students, alumni, teachers, union leaders, public officials, and community representatives at a screening of the new Diego Luna film, "Cesar Chavez" sponsored by AFT Michigan and CCA ACTS. The film documents Chavez's struggle to unionize immigrant farm workers in California. Throughout the organizing campaign and contract negotiations, teachers at CCA have drawn inspiration from Chavez's work and his legacy as a union organizer.
Lynne Santoscoy, a social worker from the CCA Middle school will be returning to work as soon as the settlement is finalized by the National Labor Relations Board. "I'm so excited to get back to CCA and work with our wonderful students and families. I have been so supported by my colleagues and the community over these past six months. What was done wrong has been made right and we will continue to work with The Leona Group to reach a fair first contract that will make our school community an even better place to work and learn."
At the close of the movie, hundreds gathered in the lobby to hear the announcement of Santoscoy's reinstatement, chanting "si se puede!" in the spirit of Cesar Chavez as they surrounded her in celebration.
"This is a fitting tribute to Cesar Chavez on his birthday," said David Hecker, AFT Michigan President. "Charter school teachers are a growing part of AFT Michigan and they can accomplish amazing things when they join together with parents and community to reclaim the promise of public education."

DETROIT, MI – Dozens of unionized teachers and staff from New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Los Angeles joined with over 200 parents, students, teachers and community members of Cesar Chavez Academy (CCA) in a march through the streets of Southwest Detroit.
Throughout the event, participants shared stories of how CCA, a school founded to honor the legacy of Cesar Chavez and provide a stable an
d quality learning environment for families in Southwest Detroit, has drifted away from the core principles that unified the original school community.
"March has always been an important month for remembering Cesar Chavez. His birthday is coming up, but it was also the month when he marched from Delano to Sacramento to improve the quality of life for migrant workers. We're here today, because our school should be a place his legacy is honored daily by our shared commitment to each other and creating the best learning environment for our students," said Flordemaria Garay, a social worker at CCA.
"When we formed our union, we did so to participate in school decisions, create a stable school community, and work with other stakeholders," said Rose Crowley, a high school English teacher at CCA. "When I heard the stories today from parents, community members, and teachers who have been here since the beginning, it became clear that this was always the vision for this school, and our union will play a role in returning to it."This march also comes at a time when the teachers' recently organized union, the Cesar Chavez Academy Alliance of Charter Teachers & Staff (CCA ACTS), an affiliate of AFT Michigan, is negotiating a first contract with the CCA Board of Directors and the Leona Group.
Gloria Kosilla, a former board member at CCA whose children attended the school, added "CCA was founded to help children in our neighborhood became educationally empowered under a vision of community, over the years I have watched The Leona Group move away from this vision. I am proud of the teachers for forming a union and believe that they can help steer the school towards its original mission."
Over a hundred teachers heard this message, many of whom traveled from across the country to support their colleagues at CCA. Chris Baehrend, Vice President of the Chicago Alliance of Teachers & Staff, explained why today's march means so much to other teachers in charter schools, "I came here today because I believe that teachers play an important role in shaping the culture of a school. Today I saw how invested parents and teachers are in CCA and in each other. Those of us who work in charter schools, whether in Chicago or Detroit, we can participate in making our schools better places to learn and better places to work."

Edit iCal calendars with local WebDAV from two locations?
Well I've had the WebDAV way working for some time on my server. But what really breaks my head is if we could find a way how to be able to update the same calendar from two different locations. E.g. from my powerbook and desktop machine. I've heard that there are attempts to get this working like on .Mac but haven't ran across any tutorial.

I love when people link to my blog (hint, hint), so I'm going to make a bigger effort around here to link to other blogs who post great geeky stuff for the ladies. Here's our first go around!
Rorschach Inkblot Manicure DIY from Love Maegan
When Geeks Wed pointed out this really cool DIY manicure from Love Maegan. While Maegan never mentions Watchmen, I couldn't help but think that this would have been a fun manicure to wear to the premiere of the movie a few years back. With the help of some painter's tape and white and black polishes, you can create this incredible look.
JK Rowling announces The Casual Vacancy
I'll see you at midnight outside the local bookstore on September 27, 2012. I can't believe it's going to be here so soon.
This geek and that geek.
The Mary Sue has been meme-ing it up this week by giving credit to the actors who are party of multiple geek properties. It's all based on a fake picture of Sir Ian McKellen that says "I'm Gandalf and Magneto. Get over it." They've ID'd 17 actors who also embody multiple icons in geek culture.
Nerd shoes craftacular
I'm incredibly jealous of this Geek Femme shoe party. The Geek with Curves had a party last weekend with girlfriends where they all made geeky shoes. A Tardis, R2-D2 and Battle of Yavin flats are all featured here. Even though I couldn't be there, I'm happy to report that my Wonder Woman flats tutorial was helpful for these talented ladies.
Rue and Cato: Popular baby names for 2012
Two smaller characters in The Hunger Games series are trending in delivery rooms across the USA. I thought for sure that Gale would beat out Cato and Rue, but alas! The Mary Sue reports a couple possible reasons why the names are trending.
Happy weekend everyone!

Remember my glasses sweater DIY? I wore mine to workkkkkkk!
Here's what I'm wearing with it:
1. Glasses Sweater: I DIY'd it! Here's the tutorial. It cost me only $8 to make.
2. OPI Mermaid Tears nail polish: $9 on Amazon
3. Love Life Leather Bracelet: $14.99 at Target, J. Crew mint rhinestone bracelet: no longer available, Kate Spade Uptown Downtown Bangle: no longer available, but there are some on eBay.
4. Skirt: I DIY'd. Knee high socks from Target. Mary Jane heels are vintage.
I'm loving the warm weather in Minneapolis right now. More skirts and dresses are in order!
I'm always looking for a new way to make my manicure pop. I'm not into the crackle trend and I'm certainly not a girl who sports French tips. That's why I love this trick.
After you paint your nails, use this simple trick to make your nails pop for free.
All you need is a Sharpie!
1. Paint your nails the standard way. Let them dry. Do NOT apply a top coat just yet.
2. Draw on your shape of choice. I've done a lightning bolt (LEFT) for the Harry Potter premiere. I once spelled out the word "LOVE" on Valentine's and the Apple logo for when the iPhone 4 came out. This works with all types of Sharpie colors, including the Paint pens. I love the gold ones… A used a gold one to make a heart on my thumb in this video. (You can see it best at the 0:56 mark.)
3. Let it dry for a couple hours. Just go do something for a while. Then, put the top coat on. If you put the top coat on the Sharpie marker too soon, it will be bleed and make a mess.
You need:
Nail polish
Top Coat
Thanks to welcome-to-district-12 for posting the first look at the Hunger Games polish colors and names from China Glaze.
They will be available March 1st, 2012.
I'm sort of disappointed by some of the names, because I would have loved one or two named after some of the more wildly adorned Capitol characters. However, the color scheme seems to have the right mix of light, dark and shine.
What do you think?
I had a DIY fail last night.
I was trying to do something like a Halloween inspired crescent moon with a similar technique that is described here.
Except it just doesn't look right. I used a clear polish, then the black glitter glue with an extreme shine top coat.
The result: A Wooly Willy inspired manicure.
As you can imagine, it was not the desired result.
If you've never wandered upon HelloGiggles, it's about time you did. Writer and internet personality Molly McAleer is one of three (famous) women behind the site which is totally focused on good old fashioned lady news. She currently writes for the CBS show 2 Broke Girls which features the indie-favorite Kat Dennings.
The mission statement behind the site is one I can totally get behind:
[HelloGiggles is] the ultimate entertainment destination for smart, independent and creative females. Everything hosted on the site will be lady-friendly, so visitors need not worry about finding the standard Boys Club content that makes many entertainment sites unappealing to so many of us.
The content that McAleer writes is pretty awesome too. My favorite posts are ones titled "Get Yo' Nails Did" about interesting ways in which you can give your nails some personality. Check out these nails with book pages, sort of decoupaged on top. It's pretty awesome. It should come as no surprise to viewers of last night's 2 Broke Girls that the two main characters got into a fight over a missed manicure appointment. I love when Internet life comes into convergence with our media. It gives you an idea of the personalities behind the shows. In fact, here's a behind the scenes on what Kat Dennings has been wearing on the show.

personal story of the day
So recently, I've been really inspired by the Hari Kondabolu tag on Tumblr. A lot of people are reblogging his stand-up, things he says, etc. etc. One of those things that I can personally relate to (a lot) is this quote:
Because in America I'm not always an American. When people come up to me they usually say 'hey man, where are you from?' And I tell them, I'm from New York City. And then they're like 'no, I mean, where are you really from?' Which of course is code for 'no, I mean, why aren't you white?'.
This happens, literally, all the time, with any person of color who doesn't seem to have the accent they should (i.e. non-'American').
So anyway- I've been thinking about the awesome quote above and I decided, 'You know what, I'm going to do that. When people ask me where I'm from, I'm going to tell them 'from here' and be firm about it. Which is not a lie at all. I too, was born in New York, and I lived here in the States for ten years before moving to Pakistan for another ten. So naturally, I have an 'American' accent because I am American and I grew up in America. Long story short, I decided to slip into my Hari Kondabolu-esque self, permanently.
Today was the first day of testing this 'new' me out.
I walk into a Dunkin' Donuts for my late Friday night coffee so I can continue studying (quite the opposite of what people normally do, I know) and the guy behind the counter is very clearly Arab. He's got everything down pat, the hair, the accent, the build, the name. And I'm naturally very friendly to him, because its 1am and thats around the time when I am my most cordial. I order my coffee+goodies, and as it usually happens, we start talking. What do you think is the first question he asks? Yup.
Q. So….where are you from?
A-ha! The question I've been waiting for ever since I changed my answer to it for good. I smile, quietly proud and reply 'I'm from here'.
'Are you sure?' He is frowning.
'Yes! I was born in New York City. I'm American'. I continue smiling.
'Hmm. Well. You don't look American'.
'…What do you mean?'. My smile is faltering.
'Well, you just don't look that white. I mean, you're fair, but not white.'
I laugh uncomfortably. That's the end of the conversation, for sure. I get it, I guess. I mean, I should have seen it coming. This whole new 'change my answer for good' is not going to be easy. Getting people (inside and outside) the USA used to the idea that there is more to being American than being white is going to be tough. But there's a lot of evidence, via research and proof that it might not take as long as we think. WHICH IS GREAT! I am so very excited for lots and lots of multicultural babies being born. But for now, it's a struggle. It's just like this (incredible) lady said:
In this country American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate.
TONI MORRISON, The Guardian, Jan. 29, 1992
Looking forward to changing that.

Could I Be a Birth Mother?
Could I be a birthmother? This is a question that recently crossed my mind. Our journey to parenthood includes several adoption stops along the way, none of them successful, with parenthood finally arriving thanks to the blessing of embryo donation. On our third attempt with this method, we finally found our forever child, due to be born next month. I have proceeded cautiously throughout the pregnancy, in denial the first half, cautiously optimistic in the second half. After all, we had a child in the home when we fostered, we got used to her being in our lives, we loved her as our own, we were her parents for every intent and purpose, and then she was taken away. She… [more]
Adoption Ads in Pregnancy Magazines
When we were pursuing domestic adoption, we did so independently, without the assistance of an adoption agency. This meant that we had to do our own networking and advertising, as well as screening potential birth parents. Many times we came across people who were not familiar with private adoption and found our attempts at reaching out suspicious. Many hopeful adoptive parents likewise found the idea of having to essentially sell themselves as a viable option for someone's child as demeaning. Yet adoption agencies can – and are expected to – advertise and network on behalf of their hopeful adoptive parents without raising any red flags. Still, as I came across an entire column of advertisements in the back of a pregnancy… [more]
I first heard the term "rehoming" from my sister. For a time, she ran a guinea pig foster home of sorts, caring for the little rodents while she looked for permanent homes for them. I liked the positive connotation that goes along with the term "rehoming" – finding a new home. In the field of information technology, rehoming is used to refer to the movement of an item from its current location to a new location, mostly in a virtual environment. In both instances, there is none of the negativity that is often associated with the concept when humans look for a new, permanent home for their baby.
The antiquated term, "put up for adoption", makes the child… [more]
Adoption? Yes, But Not What You Think
Adoption is the legal and/or social establishment of a parent-child relationship where that relationship is not the natural result of marital sexual intimacy. Yet it seems that within this rather straight-forward definition, there are some who have a heart for traditional adoption and worry that anything that doesn't match up on every single point is not worthy to be called "adoption". In general, when people hear adoption, they imagine a baby or perhaps an older child who has been orphaned, and they imagine one or more adult strangers taking it upon themselves to make the child a part of their family. Newborn domestic adoption as well as international adoption and foster care adoption all fall into this category. However, there… [more]
Choosing an Adoption Path (Openness, Risk, Age of Child)
When embarking on the adventure of an adoption journey, there are many choices to make along the way. Financial considerations are at the forefront of many hopeful adoptive parents' minds, but there are many other factors to take into account. Openness International adoption is almost always a "closed" adoption, meaning that the adoptive family has no contact with the child's original family. In domestic newborn adoptions, the trend has been more in favor of some degree of "openness". The degree of openness may vary from the two sets of parents meeting in order to decide if they are a good match, but not exchanging any identifying information or staying in touch; to maintaining some schedule of contact… [more]
Independent/Private Domestic Adoption
When we began our adoption journey, we went to the standard agency orientations where we were told about their international and domestic adoption programs. We learned about their fee schedules, their wait times, their requirements as well as the requirements of specific countries, the homestudy process, and openness in adoption. The assumption was that we needed an adoption agency to facilitate the adoption process for us. The truth is that this depends on where you live, so check with your state's adoption laws. In Virginia, where we lived at the time, as long as we had a valid adoption homestudy and retained an adoption attorney, we could avoid the use (and the expense) of an adoption agency. Other states allow the use… [more]
The Timing of Adoption- Not By Chance
I remember the look in their eyes when they asked their kids to clear the room so they could talk to my wife and me. My brother had 4 kids already, and when he and his wife told us they wanted to talk to us in private, we suspected correctly that we knew what they wanted to talk about. They were going to have their fifth child, and they were really nervous about how we were going to take the news. They knew that my wife and I had been trying for years to conceive and that it had been a really bumpy road for us. We had been trying different infertility treatments and silly home remedies, but we never saw any… [more]
The Giving and Receiving of a Child
I am an adopter. I've adopted my children, I adopt stray dogs that show up on my doorstep, and I adopt kittens from the humane society. So, I have always been on the receiving end of adoption. Never on the giving side. However, on Sunday I did something I never thought I would do, I gave away one of my cats. I don't want to presume that giving one of my cats away even compares to a mother giving up her child. But after I did it, I started to understand the pain, sorrow, and sense of loss a birth mother might feel. At least just a little. With eight kitties posted between the house, garage, and barn, I can't really be considered a… [more]
Muffins With Mom
Friday morning was Muffins with Mom Day at my daughter's school, a special Mother's Day treat in honor of our day. I sat on the floor of the library with Bunny enjoying a blueberry muffin and watching her make googlie eyes at a boy. As I sipped my coffee and watched her steal coy and flirtatious glances at her classmate, I realized my baby wasn't a baby anymore. She wasn't particularly thrilled when I wanted to walk her to morning assembly, and she really didn't want me to kiss her goodbye in front of all of her friends. As I walked across the parking lot back to my car, I started to think about motherhood and what it meant to me. Motherhood is… [more]
Understanding the Birth Mom – Compassion and Love Required
It is human nature to compare a person's knowledge, life and situation to our own and immediately come to the conclusion that we "would never do something like that". When talking about adoption, you cannot dismiss the role of the birth mom and her significance to the life of the child you are adopting. Many circumstances and roads lead to adoption. Many hard choices and decisions bring a person to the point in the road where adoption is chosen as the answer. This does not neglect the importance of the birth father. We are focusing on the birth mother. There are different reasons why a child is placed for adoption. Let's discuss the reasons and try to gain an understanding of the woman behind… [more]

Maryland sees its trip to Paradise Jam as mostly "business" but that doesn't mean there can't be some fun along the way. Terps TV documents the trip.
This season has been one of improbable circumstances for Maryland. On Saturday, the Terrapins were on the wrong side of that improbability in a loss to Boston College.
Just when the game appeared headed for overtime, Boston College kicker Nate Freese hit a 52-yard field goal to give the Eagles a victory over Maryland on Saturday evening.
Maryland has been game planning to stop Boston College running back Andre Williams. Its ability to do that effectively took a hit on Thursday with the release of the team's injury report.
There was a time when things just weren't the same for quarterback C.J. Brown because of injury. Those days are behind him and Maryland is bowl eligible.
