Recently I came across an article in Time magazine on Sheryl Sanberg, Don’t Hate Her Because She’s Successful. Sheryl Sandberg is the COO of Facebook. Not only does she manage their Sales, Marketing, and Business Development departments, but also all of Human Resources, Public Policies, and Communications as well. After reading this article, I became astonished at the statistical evidence Sandberg provided on just how dim a woman’s light really is, and it drew my attention even further to just how little college-aged women today are educated on this issue.

It has been proven that women systematically underestimate their own abilities. When they succeed, they often downplay their success. Often it goes along with a response such as, “I received help from…” or “I had to work really hard.” As stated by Sandberg, “No one get into the corner office by sitting on the side. No one gets the promotion if they don’t think they deserve their own success.” OWN YOUR OWN SUCCESS!

Society today puts much more pressure on men to be successful than women. Why is that? Are men in fact more capable? Can men handle more than woman? NO. I believe that things are changing drastically now when compared to decades before. I see it each and every day on my own campus. Women are succeeding just as much — if not more than — men. Women are taking on majors in all areas previously dominated by men: Medicine, Business, Law and Tech.

At Florida State, there is a total undergraduate enrollment of 32,201 with a gender distribution of 44.8 percent male students compared to 55.2 percent female students. This is huge! I am a member of the Greek community at FSU and my chapter’s main focus is empowering women. We reach out to projects in the community as well as working closely with the Boys and Girls Club showing them how they too can make a difference.

I believe the most empowering words from Sanberg would have to be her goal for woman to not just succeed, but “be liked for your accomplishments”.

We at ChicaLogic aren’t too happy with someone else pretending to be us – well, our product anyway. It’s come to our attention that someone else is pawning off their product as ChicaPC-Fix^TM. Searches for our product are bringing up another Registry Cleaner company. So not playing nice.

While you are busy dropping hints (chocolate, flowers, lovely dinner for two – check, check, check) tell him to get your computer a little something too. A great way to show his love for you is to protect you (even if it’s a little nerdy/computer geeky in this case) –by protecting your computer from viruses and icky malware while you do all that you do online (work, shopping, all that good stuff).

Real-time protection will keep you safe from picking up malware while online too. The quick scan feature will allow you to regularly check your PC for potential problems, and if any are found, you can run the full scan.

When your computer crashes, a box of chocolate isn’t going to help you (although it may make you feel a bit better in the interim). Have your sweetie get you ChicaPC-Shield for Valentine’s for only $14.97 — 50% off the regular price. What better way for him to show he is always protecting you? Tell him to be your knight, and armor your PC!

Step One: Uninstall Java
On the PC, go to the Control Panel, then to Programs & Features, find “Java” programs, highlight them and then click Uninstall. Here are detailed instructions in case you get lost. Instructions for Mac users are available here. You probably won’t miss Java since the plugin is not critical to browsing the web today. Should you wish, you can re-install Java once the State Department advisory has been lifted.

Step Two: Scan Your Computer with ChicaPC-Shield
You should always have an anti-malware software like ChicaPC-Shield installed. If you don’t already, install it now to make sure you are already not exploited. A quick, fresh scan with the Free version will find and remove any existing hidden threats, and the Pro version will actively continue to defend your computer from malicious software by preventing installation.

The topic of gun control will be a big one debated in coming months. Right now — hug your kids and tell them over and over how much you love them — and then hug them and tell them again some more. If you are concerned about how best to discuss what happened with your child, check out this article.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this terrible and senseless tragedy.

Of course, it helps to keep in mind that I’m not the only one so excited for all this online shopping. Cyber-criminals love taking advantage of us while we least expect it while shopping online, and they can’t wait to get their hands on our personal information or even steal our identities.

Remember that there are new scams every day, so you always need to be leery about what you click on. Be cautious as you shop, and make sure you take a few simple steps to protect yourself before you get going on your online shopping list. Here’s some ways cyber-criminals are targeting consumers this season that you may not even be thinking of.

Holiday Spam/Phishing. Be careful what you click on – even things that come from a trusted source, like a friend of yours. It’s easy to be hacked…and they could be spreading the scam to you and all their other friends too.

Holiday Gift Card Scams. We’ve all see the “Free $100 Costco card” on Facebook. Don’t fall for these scams: if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Social Media Scams. When entering contests, make sure they are valid and only enter if you can verify the contest on the company or product official website.

Fake Charities. Watch where you give your money to – verify the cause by going to and donating at the website of the charity, not through a third party.

Even being as vigilant as possible you can still accidently click on something and find yourself with a machine full of malware. Make sure you are using a strong anti-malware program to protect yourself. ChicaPC-Shield scans your PC for viruses and other icky malicious software — then quarantines and destroys anything it finds before it can mess up your computer, not to mention your holidays. It even protects against future invasions.

Buy ChicaPC-Shield now for only $19.95 – a $29.95 value. As our holiday gift to you, we’ll also include ChicaPC-Fix (a $29.95 value) for no additional charge, to help further optimize your PC.

Happy (safe) shopping!

Certainly you would never guess it’s the year 2012 by the topics that keep popping up over recent months– women are still not receiving equal pay for equal work, and we’re still being told what do with our own bodies, whether it’s about contraceptive use or abortion rights. Even some yahoo in Missouri is trying to tell us that women’s bodies have the power during a rape to keep themselves from getting pregnant. This is not only completely medically wrong but also unbelievably preposterous. Still nothing really got us completely fired up until Romney was asked about gender equality in the workplace:

“I had the chance to pull together a cabinet and all the applicants seemed to be men. And I — and I went to my staff, and I said, ‘How come all the people for these jobs are — are all men?’ They said, ‘Well, these are the people that have the qualifications.’ And I said, ‘Well, gosh, can’t we — can’t we find some — some women that are also qualified?’ And so we — we took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet. I went to a number of women’s groups and said, ‘Can you help us find folks?’ and they brought us whole binders full of women.”

Of course, what really got some of us even further riled was Romney’s concept of the importance of flex time. You know, so women can rush home to cook dinner for their families.

When women are permitted to be treated as inferior beings by those in power, it not only hurts women, but it also teaches everyone that it is okay. That it’s true. And these hateful ideologies trickle down to the ears of our daughters, while they are just beginning to form opinions of themselves and the world around them. It’s just not okay.

That one “binder” quote tells me how Romney feels about women. It is as if he is humoring us – let’s let the little ladies work a bit, and won’t that make them feel good about themselves? They can make a little money (not too much!) but let’s not get carried away now. They still need to do their usual duties – like taking care of the kiddos and their husbands of course.

Women can, and do everything men do – and we do so all the time. We should not be facing the same battles over and over and over again for equality. This quote from Obama sums it up best:

“We know we are better off when women are treated fairly and equally in all aspects of American life. Whether it’s the salary you earn, or the health decisions you make”.

I could not have said it better myself. Don’t let anyone put you in a binder.

Representatives for Facebook assure us that there is no hoax, and that the confusion lies with people mistaking wall posts between friends for actual private messages. Here’s what the rep had to say to CNET:

“Every report we’ve seen, we’ve gone back and checked,” the spokesperson to CNET. “We haven’t seen one report that’s been confirmed. A lot of the confusion is because before 2008 there were no likes and no comments on wall posts. People went back and forth with wall posts instead of having a conversation.”

Seems plausible, but the ruckus hasn’t quite died down yet. It never hurts to check out your page and make sure all looks well, and periodically review your Privacy settings. Here are some how-to tips to get your Facebook Privacy settings in tip-top shape and control who-sees-what on your postings:

Hide a particular post, or delete it completely. Hover over the right-hand side of the post and click on the pencil icon. Select Hide from Timeline or Delete.

Update your privacy settings. From your profile page, click on Privacy Settings from the little arrow next to Home,  in the upper right-hand corner of the page. Select Timeline and Tagging, Edit Settings. Decide now who you want to be able to see your postings.

Control privacy from even old postings. While in Privacy Settings, select Limit the Audience for Past Posts. Even if you had made old postings public – or let Friends of Friends see them – you can now edit permissions to only Friends.

Have you seen any private message postings on your Timeline?
