| Cell phone financial identity theft Posted: 26 Jul 2012 03:01 PM PDT While the cell phone is an amazingly useful device, using it for banking — and consumers are increasingly using mobile phones as banking tools — can lead to identity theft and other financial crimes, if reasonable precautions aren't taken.  |
| Alcohol could intensify effects of some drugs in the body Posted: 26 Jul 2012 12:39 PM PDT Scientists are reporting another reason -- besides possible liver damage, stomach bleeding and other side effects -- to avoid drinking alcohol while taking certain medicines. Laboratory experiments show that alcohol made several medications up to three times more available to the body, effectively tripling the original dose.  |

A new article delves deeper into understanding this important 'social glue' by examining research on children's enforcement of social norms.  |
| A pinch of opportunity makes deep inequality more palatable Posted: 26 Jul 2012 06:45 AM PDT Just a tiny hint of opportunity has a disproportionately powerful effect - making unfairness more acceptable to disadvantaged people, new research has found.  |
