...early to know what Jim Murphy will do with the gaping hole on the GMA couch, but early signs suggest a conservative approach. "I don't think the wheel has to be reinvented," says Murphy, who promises no sudden moves. "We owe it to our audience to get this right," he says. Probably wouldn't be bad for the show either...
...know that change is at hand? The Nature researchers noticed one potential signal: the sudden variance between two distinct states within one system, known by the less technical term squealing. In an ecological system like a forest, for example, squealing might look like an alternation between two stable states - barren versus fertile - before a drought takes its final toll on the woodland and transforms it into a desert, at which point even monsoons won't bring the field back to life. Fish populations seem to collapse suddenly as well - overfishing causes fluctuations in fish stocks until it passes a threshold...
...study, 130 kids ages 9 to 15 were allowed to snack as much as they wanted while hanging out with a friend or with a peer they did not know. All the kids ate more when they were with a friend than with a stranger. But the overweight children ate the most when paired with an overweight friend - an average of 300 more calories than when they spent time with leaner friends. The research also found that friendship itself makes the appetite grow stronger: when overweight kids ate with similar-weight kids who were already their pals, they threw back...
...Teressa Bellissimo's husband, Frank, told the New Yorker that the wings had been invented out of necessity; the bar had accidentally received a shipment of wings (instead of other chicken parts) and didn't know what to do with them.

Dominic claimed that the wings were an impromptu midnight snack Teressa created on his request; he had been drinking with friends and asked his mother to whip up something for them to eat. The stories don't necessarily contradict each other - perhaps Teressa decided to serve her son some...
...there is through a Democratic surrender. "There's a feeling that the only way to get a bipartisan agreement is to defeat a Democratic proposal on the first hand, and then the Democrats will come to Republican leadership, and then, at that point, they'll know the only way they're going to get health-care reform is bipartisan," he recently told Iowa reporters...
