The fact that groups of people typically choose to expel selfish individuals is no surprise. But new research suggests such troops often want to kick out generous members as well. This counterintuitive behavior could be rooted in how such giving people make others feel bad, or simply in how they stand out from the crowd, researchers suggest. Kicking out do-gooders Initially, psychologists were investigating if groups would tolerate individuals who contributed little toward group endeavors but also mooched little of the subsequent payoffs. The researchers told 104 college students they were each in groups of five, in which each member interacted via computer. In reality the other four members were played by the computer -- three of the programmed members made consistently moderate choices, while the fourth typically made more extreme decisions. Each group member was given 10 points. The students were told they could invest as many of the points as they wanted … [Read more...] about Moochers and Do-Gooders Both Shunned, Study Finds

A new look at the remains of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat could potentially reveal evidence of poisoning in the 8-year-old remains, but the investigation may be tricky, experts say. Today, Arafat's remains were exhumed from his grave in the West Bank so that samples could be taken and tested, according to news reports. The exhumation was called for after a Swiss laboratory said it found traces of polonium, a radioactive element and poison, on Arafat's clothing. To test for polonium poisoning , a medical examiner would prefer to use samples of blood and bile, but these fluids will have disappeared from Arafat's body after so many years, said Dr. Jane Turner, an associate professor of pathology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, and a medical examiner for the city of St. Louis, Mo. However, examiners could use hair samples or tissue from organs, if they are well-preserved, to look for polonium, Turner said. While levels of polonium in a body would be high … [Read more...] about Yasser Arafat Poisoned? Testing Could Prove Tricky

The $10,000 bill is the most valuable U.S. currency now in circulation, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The Treasury stopped printing it, along with the $500, $1,000 and $5,000 denominations, during World War II, and all such bills were declared obsolete on July 14, 1969. Today, Federal Reserve Banks destroy these notes when they receive them, but they remain legal tender while in circulation. The $10,000 bill is also the most valuable circulating global currency, according to Roberto Cacciamani, former director of the International Bank Note Society. Tied for second place are the 10,000 SGD (Singapore dollar) note and the 10,000 BND (Brunei dollar) note, each equal to around $7,400 as of this writing, according to rates provided by Citibank N.A. via the Google Currency Convertor.

In a paper led by its head Agustin Carstens, the BIS pointed to examples such as China where the two big tech payment firms now account for 94% of the mobile payments market. In many other jurisdictions, tech firms are rapidly establishing footprints too, with some also lending to individuals and small businesses as well as offering insurance and wealth management services.
