...toddler. Molly would eat "anything and everything," her mother says. "She would eat salads, but she would want three salads. She would eat broccoli but want seconds." The child was completely unlike her older siblings that way - and once she hit school age, Mom felt powerless to control the problem. "She'd go to school and eat her lunch and everyone else's," Cohn says. "I went to the pediatrician and said, 'I feel like I'm watching my daughter drown.'" Molly was nevertheless physically active and had no social problems with other kids...
...Apple, it has yet to comment. The company has allowed other music-streaming applications, such as Pandora and Last.fm, onto the iPhone. But they work more like radio stations, without the control, choice and instant gratification that Spotify users enjoy - all the things that could make Apple reluctant to give the service space up against iTunes.

...While H1N1 proved to be a manageable bug during the spring, U.S. officials are taking no chances as autumn, the traditional flu season, approaches.

His GOP counterpart, Shelby, is a potential obstacle, but aides say the 75-year-old Senator recognizes the need for change: no one wants a taxpayer-funded bailout like...
Most Australians know very little about Somalia and even less about the al-Shabaab group that has been fighting for control of the war-torn African nation since 2006. But on Tuesday, Aug. 4, they quickly began to learn the pronunciation of the Somali terrorist group's name. Just before dawn, approximately 400 police from state and federal departments fanned out across Melbourne and its southwest, raiding 19 properties and arresting four men and questioning others.
