It’s time that HUDS made some serious changes to accommodate students. Eating an afternoon dinner only prompts late-night hunger, unsatisfied by the stale bagels and donuts offered at Brain Break. Unlike what HUDS promises, I have personally never seen Brain Break feature Eggo waffles or cereal, two frequently hyped items on the menu. So how do first-year students try to stave off those midnight hunger pangs? More often than not, they resort to smuggling food from Annenberg during the too-early dinner hours. Clearly, this is not the solution HUDS is looking for, but it?...
There's a fourth reason: steroids can kill. Athletes in any sport might consider football's Lyle Alzado, an all-pro defensive lineman who took anabolic steroids throughout his career and later believed they were linked to the brain cancer that killed him. "Now I'm sick, and I'm scared," he said just before his death, at 43, in 1992. "Look at me.

If you are not conservative at 40, you have no brain.” Heartless at 20, I can only hope that we are all brainless...
...Paul Glimcher's neural-science lab at New York University. And his head is plugged into a high-powered Siemens functional magnetic resonance imaging scanner (fMRI). His name is not actually Stephen; he's a composite research subject. Glimcher is at the frontal lobe of an intriguing network of brain researchers and economists who are using advanced medical technology to try to figure out why people make the decisions they do--what brand of cereal, which mutual fund--and what part of the brain tells them to do so. "We're much further along with monkeys because...
Glimcher says while he can't peer inside a human's brain as he can a monkey's, "stuff like that is rapidly becoming possible." Certainly we'd torture ourselves much less over a potential impulse buy if we could just know in advance whether we were going to like...
