Chick-fil-A's high-profile restaurant in Manhattan is still closed, temporarily, due to health violations.

According to projections from Bizrate Insights, mobile website purchases will increase by as much as 68% from 2015 to 2016.

This does not include in-app purchases, so total mobile purchases will likely be a higher percentage of all online orders in 2016.

As of October, there were about 375,000 plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) on America's roads, according to data collected by the Natural Resources Defense Council. At the same time, the number of different EV models available has grown from two in 2010 to over 29 today. New climate legislation directs the electric industry to propose ways of "reducing emissions of greenhouse gases to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050," the report noted. California's new rules make the utility industry electrify cars, trucks, and buses in a manner that supports the grid.

After that, people under 21 caught smoking will be fined $10 the first offense and $50 every time after that. Officials cited a University of Hawaii study by the Cancer Center that found e-cigarettes were used by teens three times more than the national average.

Kanye West, in a new song, has accused Nike of treating employees like slaves. In the tune, "Facts," he denigrates the company's contract-for-life with LeBron James and then compares it with how Adidas treats ambassadors. "Nike treat employees like slaves. Gave LeBron a [a billion] not to run away," he claimed. In 2013, West left Nike because he wanted more royalties for his Air Yeezy shoe. He only got $10 million for the shoe.
