A family that lived in California but moved to Tennessee had already had two children. They took the first three letters of both the mom and dads last night to make Sabr. They soon found out this was an Arabic name when going to the airport and having to be out on delay because the name was on the no fly list. While living in Tennessee they had there third child and used the same last name as there other two kids. They soon were told that this name was unable to be used. Eddie Weeks, the state's law librarian, says a 1970s Tennessee law "makes it point-blank clear that, no, you cannot combine two names in any way other than the whole last name of both parents, or either surname of either parent." The parents could end up going to court and may be faced with a $150 fine.

Michelle Obama has recently taken "a move" against childhood obesity. She has made conceptions on many restaurants, in the kids menu section along side of school foods. She has done more of adding healthier options rather than replace what was before. For example in the McDonald's happy meal you now get apples and fries instead of on or another. She has also changed lunch menus at school across America. Vending machines in schools has also evolved around this as well.
