Why Swedes having less sex than in the 1990s
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 24 (UPI) -- A national survey found Swedes are having 24 percent less sex than in 1996 and a university professor said "desire disorder" is a public health problem. The United Mind poll of 3,000 Swedes, conducted in partnership
with newspaper Aftenbladet, found respondents reporting having an average 3.8 sexual encounters per month, down from five when the survey conducted in 1996, The Local.se reported Friday. The pollster said 60 percent of respondents reported having sex in the past month, down from about 80 percent in the 1996 poll. "These are serious numbers and seem to be part of an international trend. My colleagues from other countries have found the same thing," said Malmo University sociology Professor Sven-Axel Mansson, who worked on the study in 1996. "They say it's a public health problem. Desire disorder has become a diagnosis."United Mind did not release its survey methodology or a margin of error for the poll.

Why Students strip-searched during math exam?
SAINT-JEROME, Que. — A school board north of Montreal has launched an internal investigation after school staff strip-searched 28 high school students to find a cellphone during a year-end exam. The board admits that staff at Cap-Jeunesse high school in Saint-Jerome, Que., "lacked judgment" for asking 28 Grade 10 students to remove their clothes when a phone went missing last week. The students were ordered to put their phones on a teacher's desk to prevent cheating during a math exam but one phone was unaccounted for, prompting teachers to order the strip search. "They put us in a small room," one teenage girl, who didn't give her name, told QMI Agency. "(They said) 'take off your bra, then raise your arms.' They even tapped us on the back." School board spokeswoman Nadyne Brochu admits the teachers went too far. "It was a disproportionate action under the circumstances," she said.

Washington State bridge collapse: Pictures and video of cars sent hurtling into Freezing River
Manged girders are all that remain of a bridge which collapsed sending trucks and cars hurtling into a freezing river. Drivers climbed on to their vehicles to save themselves from the water. Amazingly only three people went to hospital, two for hypothermia. The cause of yesterday's accident is not clear but one theory is that a large truck hit the bridge. Dan Sligh, who was driving with his wife on the busy route near Seattle described how the 59-year-old bridge vanished “in a big puff of dust”.
As his pick-up truck plunged into America’s Skagit River, he said: “I saw the water coming and shouted ‘hold on tight’. "I just saw a white flash and cold water.”Dan dislocated his shoulder but put it back in place himself. He added: “You’re looking around realising you are lucky to be alive.”
