Daily iPad App: Chuggington Traintastic Adventures (TUAW)

Kids love trains and the locomotives from the British children's TV series
Chuggington are downright adorable. As its name implies, Chuggington is a
fictional town that is home to several young locomotives that zip around the
town and its surrounding countryside. Kids who love the TV show will also love
the new Chuggington Traintastic Adventures app from Budge Studios.

Chuggington Traintastic brings the world of Chuggington to the iPad and
iPhone. The colorful app recreates the town and features model trains that
children can drive around. In Build & Play mode, children can design their own
Chuggington trains with wacky add-ons that let them fly their locomotive and
run it super-fast on the tracks with a booster pack. Kids are free to explore
the world of Chuggington by drawing a path for their train using their
fingers. Once their path is drawn, the trains will chug along the tracks.

Chuggington Traintastic also includes four adventure modes that follow
Chuggington episodes. In this part of the game, children must follow
directions to complete tasks such as loading and unloading cargo. This part of
the app features clips from the TV series that walks your kids through ...

Obese Children More Influenced By Food Ads Than Healthy-Weight Kids (STUDY) (Huffington post)

Obese children may be more susceptible to food advertising than healthy-weight
children, a new study finds, suggesting one reason the nation's childhood
obesity rate might continue to climb.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the percentage of
6- to 11-year-olds who are obese climbed from 7 percent in 1980 to nearly 20
percent in 2008. The number of obese 12- to 19-year-olds also soared,
increasing from 5 percent to 18 percent during the same period.

To determine how the children in the study responded to advertisements for
various foods, researchers turned to functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI), which uses blood flow to measure brain activity. All 20 children in
the study were shown 60 familiar food logos and 60 familiar nonfood logos as
the researchers monitored how their brains responded to each. Half the
children were obese, meaning their mean body mass index (BMI) was in the
97.9th percentile. The 10 healthy-weight children had a mean BMI in the 50th
percentile.

The researchers found that regions of the brain associated with reward were
more active in obese kids than in healthy-weight children after the ...
