Scanning for Schizophrenia
The Scotland Sunday Times reports on a new method to detect schizophrenia up to three years before onset.
Researchers at Edinburgh University believe their test — which measures IQ, memory, motor skills and verbal learning — can be used to take action against the illness, which typically strikes people aged between 17 and 30, from being triggered.

Money, Sex and Happiness: An Empirical Study...
...is the title of a newly published paper.
Abstract:
The links between income, sexual behavior and reported happiness are studied using recent data on a sample of 16,000 adult Americans. The paper finds that sexual activity enters strongly positively in happiness equations. Higher income does not buy more sex or more sexual partners. Married people have more sex than those who are single, divorced, widowed or separated. The happiness-maximizing number of sexual partners in the previous year is calculated to be 1. Highly educated females tend to have fewer sexual partners. Homosexuality has no statistically significant effect on happiness.
If you want to read the paper, Blackwell Publishing is charging $25 for the download. Click HERE to visit the site to pay and download it. By the way, I have not read the paper.
