Girl Arrested for Cutting Food w/ a Knife

You've got to be kidding me... http://www.local6.com/news/14857286/detail.html Where is the common sense? Sounds like a bit of an over reaction to me. I will agree that she may have broken school policy by bringing a knife in to school and I could even get behind a reprimand or disciplinary action for that. Sending the girl to juvie is a bit much though. She probably even brought the knife in because of the stale bread provided by the school paired with nothing but a spork to use. Maybe we should give the schools a little more money so that eating utensils are not an issue. We can't even cover the basics of standard nutrition in today's school system? Perhaps I'm reading more into this than I should.

WoT

It has happened sonner than I thought it would. Robert Jordan's widow has picked his successor. Brandon Sanderson to finish WoT I am still saddened by the loss of Mr. Jordan. His stories have been a part of my life for years. I recently walked into a book store and was touched by an end cap memorial to him displaying his WoT books. However, I am excited by the infusion of a fresh view to the world of the wheel. I wish him all the best. This must be a daunting task.
