Fox News Digital reviews the Prime Video documentary "John Candy: I Like Me" featuring interviews with Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, Bill Murray and Conan O'Brien.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CBC News: The study by a team from Toronto`s Hospital for Sick Children (also known as Sick Kids) and St. Michael`s Hospital was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. It found that children who spent more time on screens before age eight scored lower on standardized tests. Child psychiatry researchers say handing kids digital devices, like iPads, every time they have a tantrum could lead to future issues. One new study links too much screen time to emotional and anger management problems. The study followed more than 3,000 kids in Ontario over a 15 year span from 2008 to 2023, tracking how much time they spent watching TV or DVDs, playing video games, using the computer or playing on handheld devices like iPads, as reported by their parents. That data was compared to their EQAO standardized test scores, which are used to assess the reading and math skills of kids across Ontario in grades 3 and 6. The findings point to a "significant association," between screen use and lower test scores, according to Dr. Catherine Birken, a pediatrician and senior scientist at Sick Kids and lead author of the study. "For each additional hour of screen use, there was approximately a 10 percent lower odds of meeting standards in both reading and mathematics ... in Grade 3 and mathematics in Grade 6," said Dr. Catherine Birken, a pediatrician and senior scientist at Sick Kids and lead author of the study, in an interview with CBC News. The study didn`t differentiate between different types of screen time -- for example, whether a child was playing a game on their iPad versus FaceTiming a relative in another city, or watching an educational video. It was also an observational study that relied on parents answering questionnaires about how much time their kids spent in front of screens. The study authors note that this means the research can`t be taken as definitive proof that screen time causes lower grades, just that the

MIT and Harvard scientists have designed an advanced type of immune cell called a CAR-NK cell that can destroy cancer while avoiding attack from the body’s own immune defenses. This innovation could allow doctors to create “off-the-shelf” cancer treatments ready for use immediately after diagnosis, rather than waiting weeks for personalized cell therapies.

Real Housewives of Potomac alum Candiace Dillard Basset was "floored" by her former costar Wendy Osefo`s arrest. During an appearance on Fox 5 DC on Friday, Dillard Bassett reacted in almost real time to Osefo`s detainment, saying she was "shocked" and "shaking" after finding out the news moments before going live. This morning, TMZ confirmed that Dr. Osefo and her husband, Edward "Eddie" Osefo, were booked on fraud charges in Maryland on Thursday. The reality star is facing 16 charges, including 7 felonies, for allegedly making false/misleading info fraud in excess of $300. She`s also facing one misdemeanor count of making a false statement to an officer. In the Fox interview, Dillard Bassett expressed sadness, before bringing up RHOP star Karen Huger`s recent stint behind bars for DUI, saying "one might opine that perhaps Karen was made an example of" and suggesting the same was happening here. "$300 and we`re arresting a mother and a father?" she continued. "Business owners, entrepreneurs ... we know that the Osefos have a very successful marijuana business, they are providing jobs and opportunities for people of color in the area ... so my first thought is, are they being targeted?" "I know the Osefos, I know their children, I know their family, I`m heartbroken," she added, before saying, "It just feels like someone is out to get the girls." "How are two women from the same show — the same show that features African American women in the climate that we`re living in today, where people are being picked up and snatched off the street for frivolous nonsense, I would like to see everything before I make my final thoughts," she concluded. Investigators claim the Osefos misled local police after an alleged home burglary in April of 2024. The couple, who were on vacation in Jamaica, claimed their home had been ransacked. After the incident, they filed claims for stolen items with two insurance companies; the list included Wendy’s gol
