When
it comes to measuring America’s epidemic of obesity, the scales have
levelled off for now. The Centers for Disease Control says the nation’s
obesity rate didn’t increase in the latest annual figures, and that’s

one-out-of-three of adults and 17-percent of children. Source Link
Many
people think of their dogs as their children, and now there’s some
scientific evidence that the comparison isn’t that far off. Researchers
say new studies show that dogs have the social functioning skills equal
to that of a toddler. That includes the ability to pick up on visual
cues and match them with words that are being spoken. Source Link
The
introduction of a new iPhone has helped to push Apple near the top of
sales for smart phones. New figures show that with the launch of the
iPhone 4S, Apple nearly matched the sales of all Android phones in the
last three months of 2011. Six out of ten new phones being sold are
smart phones, and nearly half of all cell phones in use now are smart
phones. Source Link
