There may be a physiological as well as a psychological process at work here. A leading theory is that exercising self-control is so hard on your brain that, like physical exercise, it depletes glucose levels, making you feel weaker. It's possible that imagining someone who has to exert self-control, and feeling their misery, tricks your brain into believing that your own glucose levels have declined. As the study says, this trick would, "in effect, set one's internal fuel gauge to 'low' [even if] there is still plenty of fuel left in the tank...
...analysis was led by Dr. Matthew Zack and David Moriarty of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the investigators had a lot of data to mine for their work. From 1993 to 2001 and then again from 2003 to 2006, the CDC conducted two nationwide surveys of a total of 2.4 million people in more than 3,100 counties across all 50 states. Respondents were asked to think about their general mental state, including "stress, depression and problems with emotion," and then asked how many days in the past month their mental health was generally not good...
...study, Harvard students and affiliates have remained relatively unaffected by the trend of increasing debt. Gene Foley, president of the Harvard University Employees Credit Union, said, “On the Harvard campus, we have not really seen students [who] look like they’re getting out of control or getting into trouble with their credit cards.” Foley added that there has not been a spike in the demand for credit or requests for cash advances recently.

...after two University of Colorado coeds died from alcohol poisoning in fraternity houses in Boulder, the university demanded tighter control over Greek organizations, including forcing them to delay recruiting until freshmen entered their second semester. The sororities agreed to the reforms, but all 15 fraternities balked - and moved off campus. Marc Stine, a Greek advocate hired by CU's Alumni Interfraternity Council, says it was a little like a rebellious son leaving home. "As he drives away, the parent stands at the door shaking his fist and yelling, 'You'll never make it out there.'" (See pictures of the college...
...caliber gun and improved scope could employ "fire and forget" technologies including "fin-stabilized projectiles, spin-stabilized projectiles, internal and/or external aero-actuation control methods, projectile guidance technologies, tamper proofing, small stable power supplies, and advanced sighting, optical resolution and clarity technologies." In other words, bullets that, once fired at a specific target, fly themselves into it by changing shape. The new gun should be no heavier than the combined 46-lb. weight of the current $11,500 M107 sniper rifle and all its associated gear (including ammo, tripod, scope and slide rules for target calculations).
