Registered nursing is the best job to have today based on factors such as compensation and satisfaction, according to U.S. News and World Report's rankings of the top jobs for 2012.  The report cited "solid employment growth and a wide range of job prospects" as key considerations in the top ranking. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projected employment growth of 26% among RNs between 2010 and 2020, resulting in 711,900 additional positions.

CHICAGO (AP) -- America's obesity epidemic is proving to be as stubborn as those maddening love handles, and it shows no sign of reversing course.

More than one-third of adults and almost 17 percent of children were obese in 2009-2010, echoing results since 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Tuesday.

"It's good that we didn't see increases. On the other hand, we didn't see any decreases in any group," said CDC researcher Cynthia Ogden.

In 2009-2010, more than 78 million adults and almost 13 million children aged 2-19 were obese, the CDC researchers reported.
Rates of overweight or obese adults and children were generally higher in blacks and Hispanics than in whites.
