...small study, the researchers scanned the brains of 26 men as they each performed a simple task: choosing one symbol from a pair of symbols. After each selection, the participant was presented with a smiley face or sad face, depending on the symbol he had chosen. All men were equally good at learning to pick the symbols that won them a smiley face, but some men were worse than others at avoiding the ones that resulted in sad faces. Those men, it turns out, had a particular gene variant, or allele, that reduces the density of receptors for dopamine...

...minute, returning to fetch clean clothes at the exact moment of completion. Most of us run on incredibly tight schedules, and don’t factor in a two-hour wash-and-dry endeavor every week. When it’s a question of wearing that same pair of dirty underwear for the third day in a row, or starting a dryer cycle you know conflicts with a Gov tutorial, hopefully you choose the latter. But leaving laundry to deflate all afternoon while you enjoy a “quick” study break at Boloco is just rude. Laundry...
...reaction by most Sudanese to Gibbons' lenient sentence was mostly benign; still, the government's fears of a larger backlash bordered on paranoia. Riot police were deployed, and Internet access to some stories was denied.
