Is Inhalable Caffeine Safe?

I saw a new product on the Internet  today that was pretty unique and troubling at the same time. It is a product made by a company called breathable foods. The product called 'Aeroshot' claims to have all of the caffeine of a large cup of coffee with no calories

School Pays Its Students To Show Up

Teen truancy is a real problem for a lot of schools, but especially so for the Dohn Community High School in Cincinnati. It only has a 14% graduation rate and has been deemed an “academic emergency” by the state of Ohio.

So the school is trying out a novel approach: it’s paying students to show up and behave themselves.
Kids with solid attendance and clean discipline records are being rewarded with Visa gift cards for amounts between $10 and $25, and the school is also making $5 deposits into saving accounts set up for those students.

Out With The Old In With The New, Shoes That Is

As I was getting ready this morning I looked down at my tired shoes and realized it was time to replace them. According to About.com your average shoe lasts 500 miles. After that they need to be retired to some other non exercise activity or to the trash.
