Make some cash selling your old cells

I keep saving my old cell phones to turn in to a charity, but they just sit and rot. Now there is a place in New York, called CeX, who will buy used cell phones, computer and other tech items.

It works sort of like a pawn shop only you get to keep the money. There are two options. You get one amount of money to just drop the item off and leave or you get a little more if you agree to receive store credit at CeX, so you get cash and credit.

There currently are five stores in New York and one in Boston. Stores are planned for Chicago, Philly, Chicago and San Francisco. But you may do this via the web -- purchasing the used items they are selling and sending in your own items for sale.

Of course you can always donated your used cell phones to Cell Phones for Soldiers or Wireless Recycling.

Miami residents are the fattest!

According to a recent survey in Men's Fitness magazine, Miami has the fattest people! Salt Lake City has the most fit. Seems topsy turvey, you would think Miami had the fitteset people. Guess not.

A high rate of TV viewing among residents, long commutes and poor air quality were major causes. The city has almost three times as many fast-food restaurants as the average city. And participation is low in outdoor activities such as biking, running and fitness walking.

It goes like this:

Fattest:
1) Miami
2) Oklahoma City
3) San Antonio
4) Las Vegas
5) New York

Fittest:
1) Salt Lake City
2) Colorado Springs
3) Minneapolis
4) Denver

Tampa, Florida is the most caffeinated city in the U.S.

A new poll conducted by Prince Market Research, reveals the most caffeinated cities in the US.

They are:
1) Tampa
2) Seattle
3) Chicago
4) New York
5) Los Angeles.

Oddly enough, Tampa came in first, not because they drink lots of coffee, but because they drink lots of tea. But adding to Tampa's caffeine count is the fact that Tampa residents take the most pain relievers containing caffeine. So it all adds up, beating Seattle, the city you would assume would be number one.

Riverside/San Bernardino, California residents consumed the least amount of caffeine, followed by Atlanta, San Diego, Minneapolis/St. Paul and Dallas
