Guilt Really Does Weigh You Down

Guilt really can make you feel weighed down, a new study suggests.

Researchers from the University of Waterloo and Princeton University found that when people think about times that they’ve done something wrong, they have a heavier self-perceived weight.

“We found that recalling personal unethical acts led participants to report increased subjective body weight as compared to recalling ethical acts, unethical acts of others or no recall. We also found that this increased sense of weight was related to participants’ heightened feelings of guilt, and not other negative emotions, such as sadness or disgust,” study researcher Martin Day, a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, said in a statement.

Peter Misek, an analyst at Jefferies LLC, piqued interest this week when he said in a research note that “[t]he iPhone 6 will likely have a new design and a 4.8″ display.”

Breast Cancer And Dogs: The Next ‘Canaries In The Coal Mine’?

Posted in: Today's Chili

When his beloved Great Pyrenees Malcolm died of bone cancer at age 6, Luke Robinson resolved to learn why.

“I didn’t even know dogs could get cancer,” he said.

The nagging mystery would send Robinson walking over 2,000 miles from Austin, Texas, to Boston with his other two dogs to raise awareness for canine cancer. It would also inspire his launch of an organization devoted to finding an answer — through the discovery of links between dog and human tumors.
