Studies show allowing kids to move during the day can improve grade up to 15 and helps kid burn 25 more calories.

Seems to be an improvement in actually circulation and arterial function and expending a few calories extra every hour cacalead to big changes. Reporter but those big changes can come with a big price tag. It can cost up to 6,000 to convert a single classroom. Thats why some schools are experimenting with alternatives like yoga balls to increase core stability, exercise bikes for read ride programs, or bands like these to keep kids active. My ultimate goal is to haveve the federal governmentake notice at a minimum when a new school is built, a given standing desks will be the norm.

Today both sides of the gun issue debated what this means. Here is dean reynolds. Reporter when a milwaukee store and saw twtwpolicemen shot with the same weapon in the hand of an underaged gunman they found the store at fault. Brad heaton is a juror. I was surprised how easy it is, if you are organized, a decent liar, pretty much anyone can. So it is incumbent upon gun dealers to do everything that they can to vet people when they come in. Reporter in 2005 Congress Passed a law barring most lawsuits against gun manufacturers and sellers for the way buyerses to their products. There were exceptions involving negligence. In the milwaukee case, the 1yearold gunman had an older friend buy the gun for him which is illegal. The jury found that the gun store employees either knew or should have known that. They didnt care. I mean, the core part of their market was criminals buying reporter edward flynn is milwaukees chief of police. Common sense american citizens said, wait a minute. Stores are supplying criminals with firearms has to be something punished. This is a reporter at this store in minneapolis, gun salesman said the jury verdict was chilling. We cant help, be held responsible for the actions of others with a legally acquired firearm or any other product. I think if there is an start doing a kneejerk reaction.

It will take years for this to become a real precedent. Right w, it is simply a jury verdict under very unique circumstances, scott. What are the unique circumstances that made this case a slam dunk for the jury . You had video. The picture was worth a thousand wordrd the real purchaser and the straw purchaser the guy who was going to go in of legal age to buy for his friend. And you can see their shenanigans in the store. The straw purchaser checked off the wrong box. He checked off he was the purchaser. On the federal form. On the form. The clerk helped him correct it. Now those circumstances are so unique to show that this store reasonable belief to know that this gun ultimately might be used for a criminal purpose. Rikki klieman, thank you so much.
