Myra there are ways we can incorporate chocolate in our diet. What is the skinny on chocolate . Meg go for a dark chocolate. We want to look for one that is at least 60 chocolate. I have one from trader joes that is 72 . The alkalis the alkalis asian the process reduces antioxidant content.

It republicans are holding a debate in greenville the before the big day a number of candidates were spread out senator rubio included. He sat down in spoke to patrick husian. Patrick since tuesdays fifthplace finish in the primary, he campuses South Carolina with a series of rallies to get his message to the voters. On the way to one of those rallies we were invited on board the rubio toward bus or we had a chance to talk about that message. Our country is struggling with manufacturing but South Carolina is growing. Michelin, bmw, all of these businesses coming here and making things here. Patrick rubio talked about how he plans to deal with donald trump. Hard to point the policy differences because he does not outline any files he outline any policy. Patrick some have pitted rubio against jeb bush in south in the polls. Their relationship spans 20 years. How has that changed . We cannot talk as often as we once did because we are running for the same position so it makes it harder. I have tremendous esteem for him. I did not get into this race to stop him. Patrick the senator said he is confident in his chances. The primary hits on february 20 in South Carolina. We spent a lot of time here personally and as a candidate. It is a state that cares a lot about the issue im most passionate about, national security. Patrick the former College Football player says he is in the Second Quarter of his run for the white house but in South Carolina we are in the fourth quarter. Myra four republicans running for president addressed voters at bob jones university. Faith and family were the main topics of a forum. All of our policies should be families because that is the basic unit for a strong nation. It is politically correct to suggest that a husband and a wife, a man and a woman that are organized around loving their children with their heart and soul is just one choice. If you have that you that that is the choice that will create the greatest possibilities for families to be loving and wholesome and that children will have a chance to succeed that you are being judgmental. We should not have policies that are antifamily. We have a tax code that does not just punish marriage but punishes child formation. That is why i have an increase in the child tax credit. I do think that Government Policies have contributed to the breakdown of the family. You look at Government Policies, our broken welfare system. You are doing nobody in favor when you have government that make it that you get more money staying as a single mom than you do if you marry the father of your child. Myra the four candidates will challenge each other tonight. Before going to Greenville Jeb , bush was in anderson talking to voters. His campaign moved the meet and greet to the civic center for more room and he spoke about the need for a president who focuses on the people. After that he talked about South Carolina. This is a good place for me because this is a state that believes in a Strong National defense and they want a commander in chief who can make tough decisions and support the military. We have had seven years of gutting the military and the president that does not believe americas leadership in the world is a good thing. Myra bush told voters his First Priority as president would be to stop isis. Donald trump has threatened to sue ted cruz for not being a natural born citizen. Stop cheating and doing negative for not being a natural born trump has said if cruz wins the republican nomination democrats will argue the senator is ineligible for the presidency. The Ohio Governor says he has momentum in South Carolina. Kasich says his campaign has had to scramble to find bigger venues in the state. He is hoping that message resonate with voters.

Reporter running with the idea all the way to district administrators explaining why the science worked in the classroom. Im giving the kids an opportunity to wiggle without bothering their neighbors. An opportunity to sit still during lessons but also have freedom to move and bounce. Reporter it went much deeper than that. Slate run elementary is a title i school where many of the students come from impoverished backgrounds. Core muscles are what you need to sit up straight. It helps with jumping, reporter during the second half of last year, bratcher brought in one ball. It worked so well she wanted to supply the entire room. She turned to a website where teachers can get School Supplies when funding is tight and within three days her room was filled with exercise balls. It affected how long they could sit and work. It was so easy to use with one kid at a time because you could concentrate on that one kids personality. We had to agree to follow the rules. Reporter strengthening reading levels and seeing growth in all areas. Sit on the balls. If we dont, we fall off. Reporter even the parents want to go back to school.

Thats no will transition to sleet and freezing rain. That sleet and freezing rain will continue for several hours on monday morning. Warmer air continues to work in so that freezing rain will transition to rain right around lunchtime. That is crucial to the forecast are yet if that transition takes longer than expected we could see more ice and that is possible. He want to stay tuned to the forecast especially on monday. By the afternoon and evening come up regular rainfall should begin to take over and that rain to be heavy at times as he had through the evening hours. We begin to dry things back out heading into tuesday. Anywhere from half an inch to an area. Ice across the area. From the mountains, anywhere from two inches to four inches to snow and with a light glaze of ice on top of that not as much ice for the North Carolina mountains.
