Reading: Need For Speed
There's more available to read today, and people are reading more and they're mainly
reading it on mobile devices.
Now people whose time is precious would like to read more and read it faster.
According to studies by e-reading services, people tend to spend 10 minutes
zipping through the news on their phones. And they want more news faster. Enter speed
reading apps that make reading faster.
One is the app Velocity. For $2.99 the app will stream words to you in a speed
that is comfortable. You don't get distracted by headlines, ads, pictures or even the previous
paragraph. The company says their customers read at about 300 words a minute and 400 to
500 words per minute are popular too.
This is pretty fast. The average college grad reads about 250 words a minute,
according to Michael Mason of the University of Victoria in Canada. A 7-year-old reads 80
words a minute, and a sixth-grader reads about 185 words a minute.
What about comprehension?
In one study, Mason tested comprehension in three groups, one reading 240
words per minute; people skimming at 600 words a minute and Speed reading Evelyn Wood
grads who read through the text at 700 words per minute.
The skimmers and speed readers did much worse at answering comprehension
questions afterward, especially those about specifics or technical material.
"If you're reading at a very high speed it's 'virtually impossible' to come away with
coherent ideas from the text," Mason says.
Many young lives l ost in car crashes
From 2002 through 2011, there was a 42 percent drop in road
crash deaths of children 12 and under, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. But 9,000 children died.
Researchers found that one-third of children killed in crashes in
2011 were not buckled up. Using appropriate child restraints is the best
way to prevent these deaths.
All states require safety seats for small children. Florida and
South Dakota are the only states that do not require booster seats for
older children.

World Cup TV coverage brought a surge of new fans
in the United States
Television and U.S. Soccer came together this year. The
relationship has blossomed into one of mutual admiration as
fans cheered for the World Cup. In the past decade the game and
the TV coverage have pushed even neophytes to get involved with
soccer.
ESPN's V.P., Jed Drake, says new fans aren't from any
particular area. By and large, they're in the whole country.

Health in the News
You could get a colonoscopy while doing something else
PillCam is one of the new devices that make colon-cancer
screening less invasive. Made by Covidien, a video
camera is embedded in it. It's the size and shape of a vitamin
pill.
Colonoscopies are one of the most-effective cancer-prevention
tools, yet many people avoid them, either because
the preparatory procedures are unpleasant or they fear the test
will be painful (it isn't). About 51,000 deaths are attributed to
colon cancer each year in the United States.
PillCam travels through the digestive system over the
course of several hours, wirelessly transmitting images to an
external data recorder. The maker, Covidien, is seeking broader
approval. If approved, people who are not at high risk will be
permitted to go about their normal days while the PillCam works
its way through their bodies.
The risk spectrum goes from average to increased, to
high risk.

To live longer: eat a handful of nuts every day
There's no need to check a list of health problems to see if nuts
would be good for you. That's because eating a handful of nuts every day
makes you less likely to die from any cause.
This simple and amazing conclusion is from a study made by
Tufts University's Antioxidant Research Laboratory.
Nuts are good for you because they are rich in healthy
unsaturated fats, protein, fiber and vitamin E. Plus, the total antioxidant
capacity of that handful is comparable to a serving of broccoli or
tomatoes.
Study leader Jeffrey Blumberg, PhD, says previous studies
have linked nut consumption to improvements in cholesterol, blood
pressure and blood sugar control, among other benefits.
Although nuts are also high in calories, the new research found
that more-frequent nut eaters tended to be leaner.
