I Las Vegas gadget show introduces a fork that tells you to slow down when you eat

BY PETER SVENSSON The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — If you’ve always wanted a fork that spies on your eating habits, you’re in luck: A company has developed a utensil that records when you lift it to the mouth. The electronic fork is one of the gadgets getting attention this week at the International CES in Las Vegas, an annual showcase of the latest TVs, computers and other consumer-electronic devices. What it is The HAPIfork is a fork with a fat handle containing electronics and By Lou Sennick, The World a battery.

A decorated Vietnam vet, Chuck Hagel combines experience in war with skepti- cism over turning to military solutions where diplomacy might work. Add to those qualifications a tendency to speak his mind (after using it), and the former Republican senator from Nebraska seems uniquely placed to lead the Department of Defense in 2013. In Hagel, President Obama has someone well equipped to help trim the defense budget to rational size. Consider that defense spending has doubled since 9/11. The United States spends more on defense than the next 10 countries put together. A supporter of interna- tional cooperation, Hagel doesn’t think we should be policing the world alone. And unlike George W. Bush’s architects of the Iraq War, Hagel expressed well-placed humility in our ability to FROMA understand, much less HARROP reorder, the Muslim world. Even as Hagel sup- Public Forum Columnist ported sending American troops to Iraq early on, he warned, “We should not be seduced by the expectations of dancing in the streets.” All cars should up the same space on the high- make it work. portion to our assemblies.
