...that most people will perform better under conditions of autonomy than they do under conditions of heavy control. What I would recommend for companies today is to [set aside] 10% time - essentially, one afternoon a week where employees can work on anything they want, and you do it for six months. Everybody I know, including myself, has squandered one afternoon a week...
...Mousavi, the declared loser in last June's presidential election to the "usurper" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The authorities reacted ferociously, with bullets and batons, killing several people.

The price of such rapprochement, it demanded, was a lifting of international sanctions on North Korea...
...illegally. Obama responded by sending his special envoy, Ambassador Stephen Bosworth, to Pyongyang in December bearing a private letter from the U.S. President to Kim Jong Il. In it, Obama offered the North a new era of relations with the U.S. if it first agreed to return to the six-party talks and agree (for the third time since 2005, and the fourth time since 1994) to dismantle its nuclear-weapons program...
