Positive feelings may help protect cardiovascular health
Over the last few decades numerous studies have shown negative states, such as depression, anger, anxiety, and hostility, to be detrimental to cardiovascular health. Less is known about how positive psychological characteristics are related to heart health. In the first and largest systematic review on this topic to date, researchers found that positive psychological well-being appears to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events.

Genetically modified corn affects its symbiotic relationship with non-target soil organisms
An increasing number of crops commercially grown today are genetically modified (GM) to resist insect pests and/or tolerate herbicides. Although Bt corn is one of the most commonly grown GM crops in the United States, little is known about its effects on the long-term health of soils. Although there are many benefits to using biotechnology in agriculture, such as potentially reducing insecticide use, there may be unintended side effects as well—does GM corn impact non-target soil organisms, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, or affect plants subsequently grown in the same field? -

22:24Deadly police shootings, racial profiling and discriminatory law enforcement are once again in the forefront of national debate. Police killings of unarmed civilians in New Orleans and Seattle have generated local protests and national controversies. Accusations of racial profiling have been lodged against police departments in those and other cities as well as the Maricopa County sheriff's office in Arizona. In addition, the recent shooting of teenager Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watch coordinator has forced a close examination of authorities' initial investigation of the killing. But what are the real facts about these issues and what is the federal government doing to curb local police misconduct? These important questions are discussed in the April 6, 2012, issue of CQ Researcher, published by CQ Press, an imprint of SAGE.

Aditya Chakrabortty (Economics is in crisis, G2, 17 April) should be more patient and perhaps look at the history of economics to understand that it takes time to construct an alternative paradigm in the face of crisis. There is no free lunch in economics, not even fast food. It took Keynes till 1936, seven years after the stock market crash of 1929 and two years after the UK economy had recovered from the crisis, to offer his general theory. The first sentence of the preface to the general theory says it is a book "addressed to my fellow economists". Economists talk to each other and test out the logic of their ideas before launching in the popular domain. There are numerous post-Keynesians, monetarists, Hayekians and neo-Marxists blogging away about the alternatives. If Chakrabortty wants hard print, he can look at Peter Flaschel and Sigrid Luchtenberg's Roads to Social Capitalism, just published. It is mathematical, of course, but it offers a series of alternatives based on the insights of Marx, Schumpeter and Keynes. More, no doubt, will follow. Economics can look after its own redemption.

House of Lords• Chakrabortty's piece is interesting but flawed. His claim that no one has stepped into the breach since Marx, Wright-Mills and Bourdieu suggests he doesn't get around much. Poking fun at what an "entire discipline ... [of] sociologists did at their recent conference", most of the time discussing the holistic massage industry ("using a Foucauldian lens", shock horror), is of course amusing. But to judge recent sociological analysis of class, education, welfare and political economy (Savage, Scott, Ball, Skeggs and others) ignores a critical body of work addressing the failings of market and neoliberal reform. Politicians may decide to ignore such critical work, but it's troubling that he is unaware of important contributions to the field he is talking about.
