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 lost 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.

“Miracles happen to those who believe in

them.”
