Study Finds Obese Kids Have Arteries Like 45-Year-Olds

The arteries of many obese children and teenagers are as thick and stiff as those of 45-year-olds, a sign that such children could have severe cardiovascular disease at a much younger age than their parents unless their condition is reversed, researchers said Tuesday.

CE Spending For 18-35 Year Olds High, Mobile App Usage Low

Despite the rapidly increasing use of handheld mobile devices throughout the United States, higher-end applications remain vastly under-used by the country’s consumers, according to results of a recent Accenture survey.

UK kids shopping online behind parents' backs

One in five under-16-year-olds are raiding their parents' purses without their knowledge to shop online - landing unwary relatives with a potential shopping bill of £191m per year.

Mobile phones for toddlers is the beginning of the end

So, mobile phones for three-year-olds are being launched in Asia. I suspect the tiny recipients will have a great time playing with the wrapping paper and the box, and will flush the contents down the toilet.

Violent video games tied to teen aggression

Researchers found that among three groups of 9- to 18-year-olds followed over several months, those who regularly played violent video games were more likely to get into more and more physical fights over time. The study is among the first to chart changes in gamers' aggressive behavior over time, lending weight to evidence that violent video games can encourage violence in some kids. And it's the first to show that the effects are seen across cultures, researchers report in the journal Pediatrics.

British youngsters reject science

A massive 86% of British youngsters said they would probably or definitely turn their back on natural science subjects the survey of 25,000 15 to 25 year olds across 27 European countries found providing more depressing evidence of the lack of interest in science in UK classrooms.

A composer moves opera into the future

Often called America's greatest living composer, John Adams says he wrote his memoir, "Hallelujah Junction: Composing an American Life," for the next generation of musicians, the 20-year-olds struggling with doubt about the viability of a life in art. The Berkeley-based musician wants them to know it is possible to survive the drubbings of a pioneer relatively intact. "We ignore the good reviews and fret about the bad ones," he laughs.

The Class (Entre les murs) (France, 2008)

The Class is a big deal, and not merely because it was the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival. A clever and charming pseudo-documentary, it gets inside one classroom of 30 or so 14-year-olds in a tough part of Paris over the course of a year. Structurally, it's similar to Être et avoir, the actual documentary by Nicholas Philibert which was made in a tiny rural French school. But that was released in 2002. We've all grown up since then.

Will Political Donations Go High Text?

Barack Obama's unprecedented level of small contributors to his presidential campaign demonstrated the potential for small text-message donations in the future.

Some folks just won't let sleeping dogs lie

The day ended late, and I was just about at the end of my endurance when it occurred to me that I hadn't talked to Dr. Deyhle in quite a while. He was my mentor and took the risk of hiring me straight from veterinary school. He is in his mid-80's now and has been retired about 10 years, but still is quicker-witted than most 40-year-olds.

GIANT ROBOTS: Robotech live-action movie

robotech.jpgForget for a moment the call of King Obama of the United States to the knights of that land, summoning the best and bravest to his round table in the new Camelot. Turn your mind from the inane mutterings of the players in our own political purgatory, and the dire straits in which the world’s economies persist in foundering: there has just been announced a culture-quaking event of such import, that developmentally arrested 30-35 year-olds around the planet are shivering, no, quivering in excitement, stunned to the bone, mouths agape and rendered useless for the rest of the day.
