...Brobots.” Some houses only have enough spirit for intramural competitions (*cough* Winthrop *cough*). Mather, however, focuses its energy on the Louie Cup, a Mather-only contest spanning the year and involving such feats of endurance and displays of talent as competitive coin-flipping, staring contests, paper-airplane making, and “detecting that there is not in fact a Louie Cup event this week.” Finally, because every Mather suite is a party suite, you’ll never have to go out looking on Friday night, because it’s probably next...
With some estimates of armed robots with so-called autonomous navigation systems less than five years away, the U.S. Army is drafting a white paper to set guidelines for their use.

That may sound unsurprising - we all know that anger can stress your heart. But it's important to note the difference between aggression and just being aggressive. Previous studies (here...
...authors of the second paper offer the standard theories about how an angry emotion translates to a physical heart attack: angry people have a harder time sleeping; they take prescribed drugs less often; they eat worse, exercise less, smoke more and are fatter. These things add up: compared with the good-humored, those who were angry and hostile - but had no signs of heart problems at the outset - ended up with a 19% higher risk of developing coronary heart disease, according to the University College London paper...
