(MIND/SHIFT) -- The
“marshmallow test” invented by Stanford psychologist Walter Mischel and colleagues in the 1960s is famously known as a measure of willpower. The experiment gave preschoolers the option of either eating one mini-marshmallow right away or waiting 15 minutes
to get two mini-marshmallows. Decades later, those who were better at delaying gratification, and resisted immediately snarfing the treat, ended up with stronger SAT scores, higher educational achievement and greater self-esteem and capacity to cope with stress
in adulthood.

(CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION) -- A
federal appeals court has cleared the way for a former art-galleries director at Stephen F. Austin State University to try to paint several administrators there as having trampled his First Amendment rights in order to appease a U.S. congressman he had defied
and harshly criticized. In a ruling handed down last week, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit rejected the administrators’ bid to have the former galleries director’s lawsuit dismissed, saying the administrators should have
known they risked violating his free-speech rights in pushing him out of his job after his clash with Rep. Louis B. (Louie) Gohmert Jr., a Republican.
