food for thought: dumb jock

The NCAA just released a new psa to dispel the "dumb jock" myth.  NCAA Division 1 athletes get higher SAT & ACT scores than college-bound students and African-American student-athletes have a 10% higher graduation rate then their non-athlete counterparts.  You can watch the commercial here.

food for thought: kids with dogs exercise more

several studies (like the one posted by msnbc or the university of london) show that kids with dogs get more exercise.  while this might not come as a surprise, it supports my strong belief that families benefit by having a dog (and not just the other way around) in the home.  heck, i have a dog, and i ran a marathon last year!  get healthy, get active, get a dog!
