Germany is now banning Red Bull after tests revealed it contained small amounts of cocaine:
The bans started Friday after a sample test conducted by authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia state found 0.4 micrograms per liter in the drink.
Germany’s Federal Institute for Risk Assessment said Monday that the cocaine level was too low to pose a health risk. It planned to produce a more detailed report Wednesday.
Red Bull said its cola is “harmless and marketable in both the U.S. and Europe.” It said similar coca leaf extracts are used worldwide as flavoring, and a test it commissioned itself found no cocaine traces. Source

The son of pool-playing parents, the toddler recently traveled to Las Vegas to put on a demonstration for the APA, the governing body of amateur pool.
Keith started playing pool on a child-size table, but has since moved up to a regulation table.

NEW YORK – Jon and Kate Gosselin arrived separately for their sextuplets’ fifth birthday party. During the party, the spouses barely spoke to each other.
