Gray whales used to be some of the more popular whale species, but now they are quickly becoming scarce. There used to be three to five times more of them in the Pacific Ocean than there are right now. Researchers are thinking that the climate change may be the cause of this.

According to a recent census, about 22,000 eastern gray whales currently live in the Pacific. Experts had thought this to be around the whales’ natural population level, because of widespread die-offs of gray whales between 1999 and 2001 that plunged the animals to 18,000 individuals.

Teenagers hate it when their parents control how much they can text and talk on their cellphones. If they think that it is going to stop, well than they will be dissapointed. AT&T is making it easier for parents to do this on practically every phone that they offer.

AT&T Inc., the nation’s largest wireless carrier, will launch a service Tuesday giving parents that kind of wide-ranging control on almost all of its 63.7 million subscriber lines. “We were certainly hearing from parents who were dismayed at overuse of text or phones,” said Carlton Hill, vice president of voice products for AT&T’s wireless unit and the mother of two teenagers. “We want to find a way for kids to use phones without having to take the phone away.”
