Sex Tapes: Would you?
You'd think most of us would give an emphatic "NO" if asked whether we'd release a sex tape.
Well, think again.
An online dating website surveyed 2800 people and what they'd do to get ahead is alarming. Uh, I mean surprising!

Are you dirty enough to be sexy?
Ladies? Don't wash you hair. Don't freshen your makeup. Don't mend your clothes. Guys don't need you to be squeaky clean to be sexy. In fact, they prefer you aren't.
Why? Go back. Go way back. Okay, go over to my news stories and get your answer. Don't sanitize your hands on the way over.

Craving Cavities
A Dallas dentist is turning up the heat in his office.
Not only is Clint Herzog easy on the eyes, but his staff includes some young, good-looking women who may make patients crave a cavity and therefore another video to his office.
Herzog also serves beer and wine to patients who are a little nervous about being at the dentist.

Flu shots?
Yes, and Halloween is right around the corner.
Just because it was hot and humid today, doesn't mean people shouldn't be thinking about seasonal flu vaccines. That's according to some North Texas medical professionals. Vaccines have already arrived in Dallas, for one, and people are already requesting them.
Dallas County is offering seasonal flu vaccines Monday at 8am. There is no priority group. Everyone is welcome and fees vary.

Choking Game
It's been "played" for decades. Generations of kids press on their necks or chests to temporarily cut off oxygen to the brain in order to get "high".
It's a cheap, easy alternative to drugs or alcohol and it's thought to have killed at least 82 children since 1995.
Many parents don't know the warning signs. It could be a belt or rope where it shouldn't be. It could be a group of kids coming out of a room with a groggy look, voice or flushed face.
Below are more warning signs and why experts recommend adults be diligent in talking to children.

Crank it up?
I like loud music and apparently the current crop of kids also likes loud music. A new study--which studies two studies--found that the number of kids suffering from hearing loss has jumped 30%. Kids we interviewed said they listen to their music at the highest volume possible and with those little ear-buds it can get pretty loud. One girl said she listens to her MP3 player for up to ten hours a day and by the time she unplugs--her ears are ringing.
A doctor told us today that temporary ringing is a signal to back off the volume.
One kid told me he's not concerned about hearing loss because he's confident technology will cure his problem when he gets older.
He's 16-years old and already has a hard time hearing--for his sake--I hope he's right.

iGross: Smartphones are nasty
This just in: Smartphones are nasty and we have the culture dishes to prove it. We swabbed six smartphones and four of them came back with lots of bacteria--even E. coli. Yep. E. coli.
Here's the deal--we keep our phones in our pockets and purses next to nasty coins and whatever is buried at the bottom of a purse. Oh, then there are the elevator buttons and door knobs that we touch--and then we touch our phones. Just follow the germ trail all the way to the surface of your touch screen phone.
An infectious disease expert suggested treating your phone line an elevator button or door knob--wash your hands after touching them. Also, check the information supplied with your phone and find out how you can safely clean it without damaging it.
Who knew? iGross.

Hot not-so-fun in the summertime
It must be tough being a kid in the internet age. Back in the pre-internet era kids either played outside or watched TV--now they can spend hours surfing the internet--that is until GetNoodles interrupts the fun.
GetNoodles is a new downloadable program that parents can set to interrup whatever kids are doing online every 5, 10, 15 minutes--it depends on how annoying mom or dad really wants to be. Here's the trick: The kids have to answer an age appropriate question--it can anything from learning a new language to math. If they answer the question they get go right back to whatever they were doing before they were interrupted--if they don't answer correctly--it's back to the drawing board until they get it right.
Back in pre-internet age that would have never happened--and it's a good thing because I'm still terrible at math.

Mother Strangles Her Children, Then Calls Police
It was such a somber scene in Irving, where police say a mother strangled her two children and then called police to say she had done something, "terrible".
No parent can imagine harming their own child and that is what makes covering a story like this so unfathomable. We have scene it before with the Andrea Yates of the world, claiming postpartum depression.
We will have to wait a see what the motive was for this 30-year old woman to harm her two toddlers. We do that as we shed a tear for these innocent victims.
