A few months ago, I told you about a new program available for pre-order that turns off your cell phones once the key is in your car's ignition.
Now, there's another similar service to keep you safe and free from distraction while driving. ZoomSafer is a free service that uses your phone's GPS system to monitor your driving speed and prevent you from placing or receiving calls or texts when traveling over 10 miles per hour.

Shia LaBeouf left his motorcycle behind and was back to suits and ties on the set of Money Never Sleeps in NYC earlier today. Michael Douglas joined him, all decked out to reprise his role as Gordon Gekko — hopefully we'll get a glimpse of what kind of updated cell phone he'll be carrying this time around. Shia has been lucky enough to share the screen with a number of legendary actors, so he has some great role models to make sure his career stays strong for decades to come.

Radiation Therapy Complications
- Radiation therapy in children with cancer increases the risk of new brain and spinal cord tumors, suggests a study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The risk appears to increase along with the radiation dosage. Children who receive radiotherapy before age 5 are especially at risk for second primary tumors.
- Survivors of childhood brain tumors who received cranial radiotherapy as part of their treatment are at risk for later having a stroke, indicates a study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
