...were deemed to be more optimistic fared better than those deemed to be more pessimistic. “People who are optimistic have a good outlook on life—they treat themselves better, take better care of themselves, and live longer,” said Harvey B. Simon, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and the author of the article profiling the studies. “The bottom line seems to be that people with a bright outlook have better health.” In one of the studies, researchers infected 193 volunteers with a common respiratory...
...explained. Record profit announcements from major energy firms are nothing new; those inflated oil prices have triggered a string of them in recent months. But the slowdown currently underway in the U.K., for instance, "puts a bigger onus on these companies to explain lucidly what exactly that means," says Simon Webley, research director at the Institute of Business Ethics in London, which counts both BP and Shell as supporters.

...disguise. It can spur them to take a gap year or to take a closer look at their other academic options. If Vincent and Davison don't get into their preferred schools, they'll both go to University of Texas; Brown-Campello would go to University of Vermont; and Simon thinks she'd attend Princeton or Stanford. Kavya Rao, a freshman in the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) Medical Scholars Program who was waitlisted at Harvard last spring, thinks they will be just fine. "I would have loved to go to Harvard," she says...
