	Now this is definitely something I support. Makes no sense to me at all to change the time and then by the time we get adjusted to it they change it again and we have to start all over. :( Daylight Saving 2013: Petition Targets DST For Elimination The Huffington Post \| By Meredith Bennett-Smith Posted: 03/06/2013 On March 10, Americans will set their clocks forward an hour in the biannual ritual known as Daylight Saving Time (DST). But the hour of reckoning could be close at hand for DST, if some online petitioners get their way, that is. A petition seeking to eliminate DST (or make it the year-round standard) has surfaced on the White House's "We the People" crowdsourcing platform. The document, which needs 100,000 signatures to prompt a response from the West Wing, urges President Obama to eliminate the "archaic practice" of adjusting clocks twice a year. Daylight Saving Time was standardized in the U.S. by the 1966 Uniform Time Act, according to National Geographic. That act has since been amended several times, most recently by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which extended DST by one month. The "We the People" petition claims that, while some industries still support DST, studies have shown the change is a health risk, leads to a loss in productivity and is "really annoying." The petition is still many signatures from its goal, however, and may very well join the list of failed petitions, a list that includes a recent request to change the U.S. national anthem to R. Kelly's "Ignition (Remix)." Though participating areas of the country must switch their clocks on the same day, no federal law forces states to observe the time change, according to National Geographic. Arizona, for example, has not observed DST for decades.

	Some of what goes on in our schools and how idiotic some of the teachers and administrators react, simply amazes me. If they can't handle an 8 year old special needs little girl then they need to find another profession. This is outrageous. 8-Year-Old Handcuffed Published on Mar 7, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vITGDMasyP4 An 8-year-old was handcuffed for throwing a tantrum and ended up spending two hours in jail , where her guardian said police ignored the girl's pleas to use the bathroom. The girl, Jymha Rickman, was at Love Joy Elementary School on Tuesday morning when she reportedly had a bad tantrum. Officials from the Alton, Illinois, school could not handle the girl, and ultimately called the Alton Police to handle the situation. But instead of defusing the situation, police decided that the 8-year-old girl needed to be handcuffed for her tantrum and thrown in the back of a police cruiser. The girl's guardian told KMOV that police treated the 70-pound girl like a criminal. The situation got worse when the girl was taken to jail with her hands cuffed behind her back, the guardian said. Though the 8-year-old girl asked police if she could get her coat, those please were ignored. Police also refused to let the girl use the bathroom, the guardian added. "Her eyes were swollen from her crying and her wrists had welts on them," said Rickman's guardian. "They cuffed her feet too and she asked to use the restroom several times and was ignored." Police saw the situation somewhat differently. They say they were called to the school after the girl tore up two classrooms and school officials could not stop her. They agree that the 8-year-old was handcuffed for her tantrum, but said that she was supervised after being put in a juvenile detention room. District officials had not commented on the situation or why police were called to handle the girl's tantrum.

	I guess you could do this with precooked meatballs or Italian sausage instead if one was so inclined. This also might be a good way to get children to eat their veggies although I am a great believer in serving vegetables raw as much as possible. Just about any raw vegetable can be put in a salad if they are cut small enough. Nothing is worse than having big chunks of vegs in your mouth if you don't especially care for a particular veggie so if you want your children to eat raw vegs cut them small. But I digress. I must send my recipe for the best coleslaw in the world. Helen Quote: I bet kids would love the novelty of this. Just add spaghetti sauce. :) Quote: Lunch, anyone? Just add some tomato sauce.
