Could this electronic fork help people lose weight and maintain their diets

Could the future of dieting be as simple as a smart fork? The makers of HAPIfork think so. The fork, which was introduced at this year's CES, uses electronic sensors to monitor users' eating habits. For example, if you eat too fast, an alert goes off. The fork uploads information about users' habits to an online dashboard to track your progress. An online "coach" helps users eat better and change their eating behavior.

The vibrating fork, according to The Telegraph, will be on Kickstarter and will be sold for $99.

HAPIfork's claim is that eating slower helps avoid digestive problems, acid reflux, and overeating. (The science on this can be complicated.) The HAPIfork will initially connect via USB, but manufacturers HAPIlabs aim to introduce a bluetooth version shortly. Both will use a removable module so that the fork can be put in a dishwasher.  It will track the duration of a meal, the number of fork servings and the duration of each interval between servings. If a user eats too frequently, it will vibrate while inside their mouth and show a warning light.

“Most people eat faster than they should and do not realise that eating too fast ins’t a healthy behaviour, negatively affecting things like digestion and weight control,” said HAPIlabs’ US President Andrew Carton.

Amazing 3 point shot in girls basketball game

American Idol star James Durbin talks about how he manages his life with Tourette syndrome and Asperger's syndrome.

From CNN:

Editor's note: In the Human Factor, we profile survivors who have overcome the odds. Confronting a life obstacle -- injury, illness or other hardship -- they tapped their inner strength and found resilience they didn't know they possessed. James Durbin became an "American Idol" fan favorite despite his struggles with Tourette syndrome and Asperger's syndrome.

(CNN) -- I believe it was December of '98 when my dad passed away of an overdose. A few weeks later, around my 10th birthday, I was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome and Asperger's syndrome.

It was a really rough time, especially at that age, being told I have a neurological "disease," when I already felt so different.

Kids steal the show at mock swearing in for new senators

They may be getting sworn into the Senate, but for Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), their kids were the ones who stole the show.

First was Gillibrand’s son, held atop his mother’s hip as she lightly touched the Bible during a mock swear-in with Vice President Joe Biden.

This teen aged basketball star is forced to tan every day in order to fight a rare condition and it hasn't slowed him down one bit

When the Shawnee High School basketball team is down on the scoreboard, players know to throw the ball to Josh Borelli. Borelli is not only the team's star player, but also the player most adept at overcoming adversity. Borrelli, a senior at the Medford, N.J., school, has a condition called Mucha-Habermann, an extremely rare skin disorder that causes lesions to develop all over the body. Borrelli developed the autoimmune disease out-of-the-blue in eighth grade. "One day I woke up in the eighth grade and I had red lesions all over my body so I went to the doctors," he told ABC News

This pro golfer fights off his panic attacks with snacks

Charlie Beljan, the golfer who played through a panic attack to clinch his first PGA victory in November 2012, has a plan to stay calm in 2013: eat more.

Beljan, 28, a self-proclaimed picky eater, said his potassium and sodium levels were dangerously low when he was hospitalized after the first round of the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

“I used to laugh at guys on the tour, always pulling candy bars out of their bags in the middle of the round,” he told the L.A. Times. “Now I know why.”

Double amputee learns all over again how to use her hands

After receiving a radical double hand transplant surgery, Lindsay Ess had to relearn what her hands could do.

A quadruple amputee, Lindsay lost her hands and feet to a sepsis infection five years ago. The 29-year-old's arms had been amputated just below the elbow, so simple tasks, such as feeding herself, washing her hair and putting on her prosthetic legs, became impossible without help.

"Team effort" tackles cancer for this Oklahoma Sooners football player

Austin Woods, an offensive lineman for the Oklahoma Sooners, plays hard, whether it's on the football field, in the classroom or tackling cancer.

"A lot of it is up here, between your ears," Woods said, "you know, your attitude and the heart you have and just the mentality you attack every day with."

During early spring practices, the 6-foot 4, 293-pound junior offensive lineman felt something wasn't right.

"I thought it was mono. I didn't know what it was," he said.

Solutions to unclutter the family car with many handy gadgets and accessories available

Maggie Jackman Pryor says she gets stressed just thinking about the clutter she used to have in her Ford  Expedition. Loose papers and carpet-sample books from the two businesses she runs with her husband sat on the front seat. And shuttling around her three children resulted in empty Gatorade bottles and Doritos bags underfoot, DVDs strewed across the back seats, and sports balls bouncing around the trunk.

After a recent email invitation from a local organizing pro, Ms. Jackman Pryor, of Cobleskill, N.Y., joined more than a dozen other moms in a nearby parking lot.

This computer mouse doubles as a scanner...

WHEN WE HEAR about gadgets that combine two disparate functions into a single device, we usually keep expectations low. This was especially true of Brookstone's Scanner Mouse, which takes two of the most boring office accessories known to man—a scanner and a mouse—and mashes them into one.

Against all odds, this is an amazing little gadget. In some regards, it works better than a traditional scanner, and it's probably the only scanner that is genuinely fun to use.

Mom makes a contract between herself and her 13 year old son for his new iPhone....

Huffington Post Writer, Janell Burley Hofmann, recently bought her 13 year-old son, Gregory, a new iPhone for Christmas. To ensure that he did not abuse the privileges that come with a phone, and with the Internet at his fingertips, she created a contract to keep him in check. As I read through the list it looked more and more like something all parents might use to raise their own kids. The rules could easily apply to other things than owning a phone. For example, if your parents buy you a car, they own that car. If you wreck that car, you still have to take care of it, even though your parents own it. If you break anything, really, you are obligated to fix it and whatever kind of grief that was made because of it.

Teaching responsibility can’t be easy, but Hofmann just made it a little more enjoyable.

Here’s her whole post. Enjoy.

High school student starts twitter account to make people feel good by randomly complimenting them - it's become contagious by focusing on the good in people

Jeremiah Anthony is a junior in high school. He is a self-proclaimed "normal kid in a world, who likes seeing the beauty in people."
In his own words....

For most people, the idea of kids and technology conjures up images of sexting and cyber bullying. I started @westhighbros to end cyber bullying at my school and to make it a better place to be in general. Let’s face it, school is for learning but socialization happens more often that studying.

We’re here to show the world the power of technology and the power of positive word.

Kids explain their New Year's resolutions for 2013

New Year's what? When Parenting.com hit the streets to ask kids about their New Year's resolutions for 2013, it turned out that the term itself was a bit of a head-scratcher for many of them. "What is that?" said one bewildered little guy as he peered through his red-rimmed sunglasses.

But when asked more simply about their goals for the new year, the kids gave thoughtful -- and adorable -- answers. "I can get more 100s on my tests," said one eager scholar. "Try and be a little nicer to my sister," said a big sis as she thoughtfully mulled exactly what that might entail. And does the kid in shades have any goals for 2013? After a few pensive moments came a firm answer: "No." But the cutest reply of all comes from the future Warren Buffett who closes the video.

Blind man teaches others how to use Instagram to shoot and share photos

Tommy Edison, described by Gizmodo as the "positively radiant blind film critic," has created a YouTube clip, in which he describes his experience with taking iPhone snaps and using the popular photo-sharing app Instagram.

Edison has been sightless from birth, but the film critic and radio personality has never allowed his lack of eyesight to get in the way of living a full life.

Case in point: Last year, Edison created an uplifting YouTube video, in which he described the "best parts of being blind." Cheaper electricity bills and the ability to overlook race and superficial beauty were among the many ways Edison said he can celebrate what some may consider a limiting disability.

Now, Edison is showing the world that the joys of technology and social media are also not lost on him.

Disabled vet keeping his body and mind busy working on cars

SAN DIEGO — Marine Cpl. Timothy Read, who lost a leg in Afghanistan and has been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder, is applying some Rustoleum to a new drive shaft for his prized 2003 Mustang Mach 1.

It’s more than just a hobby. Working on cars and motorcycles, Read said, fills the aching void in his life left when his war wounds stripped him of the ability to be a combat Marine.

“My hands are meant to be dirty,” he said. “I’m meant to be busting my knuckles, doing a man’s work.”

This special 12 year old saves up her money and buys a doggie treadmill for an animal shelter.

Most sixth-graders save their money for things like candy, movies or maybe, if they're really motivated, a new bike. Clearly, Kam Gottlieb of Wilmette, Ill., is not your typical sixth-grader.

The 12-year-old recently raised money to donate adogPACER treadmill to Chicago's Anti-Cruelty Society and will donate a second one to the Humane Society of Southwest Michigan this month. When we heard about Gottlieb's generosity, we couldn't help but wonder two things: What would motivate a girl her age to do so much fundraising, and why dog treadmills? To get the answers, we went straight to the source.

Good news for fishermen...blue fin tuna sells for record $1.76M!

TOKYO (AP) — A bluefin tuna sold for a record $1.76 million at a Tokyo auction Saturday, nearly three times the previous high set last year.

In the year's first auction at Tokyo's sprawling Tsukiji fish market, a 489-pound tuna caught off northeastern Japan sold for 155.4 million yen, said Ryoji Yagi, a market official.

The fish's tender pink and red meat is prized for sushi and sashimi, but bluefin tuna stocks have fallen globally over the past 15 years amid overfishing.

Being paralyzed doesn't stop this courageous man from inspiring and empowering other disabled people through art...

Jersey City’s got an art scene of movers and shakers but few can say they’ve done what David McCauley has in the past two years.

McCauley (seen above), the head of Rise Up Gallery, has about ten artists contributing work to his traveling initiative and has shown their work at multiple places, most recently in October at the Tenmarc Building, the main Jersey City Artists Studio Tour venue. He’s also established an offshoot branch and physical gallery in Miami and won the New Jersey Hero award for his work through the gallery’s parent organization, Rise Up to Cure Paralysis, which was founded in 2010.

Oh yeah, by the way, McCauley’s been doing this all from a wheelchair.

This skier becomes the youngest American to win 2 World Cup races - she's just 17 and is even ahead of world famous American skier Lindesy Vonn

AGREB, Croatia — Mikaela Shiffrin became the first American to capture two World Cup races before the age of 18 on Friday when she won the Zagreb FIS World Cup Night Slalom.

Shiffrin, a little more than two months shy of her 18th birthday, led the World Cup leader Tina Maze by 0.35 of a second after the first run. She displayed composure beyond her years during the second run, the fastest of the evening (1 minute 2.47 seconds), and won by an overall margin of 1.19 seconds.

This man's philosophy, “I guess my life’s philosophy has been that there’s room in our lives for everything we love, simple and complex,”

Ken Gidge is a politician — a Democratic New Hampshire state representative who recently won reelection to his third term. And he’s an inventor, of refrigeration energy-saving devices and a plastic Frisbee-style toy called the Wing Wheel.

As a young man, he was a Santa Claus at a department store in Boston, and he spent 248 days atop a 30-foot-high perch at a car dealership in Peabody, Mass., going for the world record in flagpole sitting. He once self-published a book on what he believed then were his psychic abilities, and he’s an avid writer of poetry. He says he was a jazz club manager who gave Muddy Waters a gig at the start of the late bluesman’s US comeback tour in the 1970s.

The steady pace of these yearly contributions only hinted at the fortune that she had inherited from her family’s involvement with a paper company whose composition pads are known to schoolchildren across America.

A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.

As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing.

He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.”

The man smiled and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.”

He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers.

As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother.”

She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.

The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house.
