TOO MUCH TV AT DAYCARE: A new study shows pre-schoolers spend as many as two hours a day watching TV at daycare. That's on top of the two to three hours many spend watching at home. Since most kids that age are only awake 12-hours, that's about a third of their day. TV is not always a bad idea but experts have found that anytime a TV is on children speak less and adults interact with them less frequently.

FACEBOOK LOST HEALTH INSURANCE: Be careful what you post on Facebook. Get this-- a Canadian woman says she lost her insurance benefits because of pictures she posted. According to the Associated Press, she was on long-term sick leave for depression but she says her insurance agent found photos of her on Facebook where she appeared to be having fun. They stopped her monthly payments.
