2011
was an improved year for American automakers, with growing sales for
Ford, GM and Chrysler, who together accounted for half of the 12 million
vehicles sold in the United States. Honda and Toyota posted lower
sales. Total car sales for 2011 were up 10-percent, with Kia, Volkswagen
and Jeep among some of fastest growing nameplates. Source Link
For
kids, the key to better grades in school may involve being more active
outside of the classroom. A new study looked at the link between
exercise and better academic performance. Students who participated in
sports or were more active performed better in school. Physical activity
may improve brain function and thinking skills by increasing blood and
oxygen flow to the brain. Source Link
When
it comes to the most popular shows on TV, forget about sitcoms, crime
dramas and reality competitions, because America is always ready for
some football. Figures show that 23 of the 25 most-watched programs so
far this season were NFL football games. Sunday night and Monday night
football games were the most-watched broadcast and cable programs in the
fall. Source Link
