abc's susan saulny has more. good morning to you. an increasingly desperate situation on the ground in iraq consumed most of washington's attention on thursday. as islamic extremists continue a march toward baghdad, iraqi soldiers are desperate to tamp down the onslaught. the al qaeda linked fighters wreaking havoc in city after city. mosul, tikrit, a vast territory falling under their black flag

rest yesterday. an update on president obama's health. it's excellent his doctors say after a physical last month. the first update in three years. he's 53 years old and only some minor aches and pains. his weight, pulse, blood pressure, body mass index all holding steady. >> looks like being cool until school could lead to problems later in life. researchers say popular teens or who tried to be popular were more likely to engage in criminal behavior and drug use down the line. they were sexually active at a younger age. the study involved interviews with 200 13-year-olds tracked over a ten-year period. connecticut's governor may be the state's newest super hero. in the eyes of the school children, at least. he vetoed a bill that could ban non-fat chocolate milk from school menus. the potential ban was part of an effort to reduce sodium levels in the drinks. the sodium is always added to non-fat chocolate milk to counteract bitterness in the cocoa. the governor said that non-fat unflavored milk is the best choice. i hated regular milk. i had to have strawberry. >> i drank milk like crazy. >> i always put quik in. i'd run in from playing and grab the milk and chug it. >> that's gross. >> whole milk. whole milk back in the old school. man, oh, man. >> that's gross. >> it's not gross. it's awesome. you should try it. >> i like my milk with sugar. jamaica considering

lake. only four will be hired. sounds kind of nutty. the mail jumping, it is called mail jumping and moves 5 miles an hour. there are 60 houses on the route and the boats also carry tourists. they are expected to act as tour guides, too. >> kind of fun. >> would you do it? >> if i was 13, you bet. right now i think i'd break my ankle and be on disability for the rest of the summer. >> speaking of
