A 15-year-old girl from Florida can't stop hiccuping.
For more than three weeks, Jennifer Robidoux has hiccuped close to 50 times a minute when she's awake. And doctors are puzzled.
Nothing has helped…not even holding her breath, breathing into a paper bag or drinking out of the wrong side of a glass. And, yes, people have tried to scare her.
Jennifer's mom is hoping that someone can help them…

Is you church going to sing the hymn Amazing Grace this Sunday?
This Sunday is Amazing Grace Sunday…marking the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade. But there is still work to be done…an estimated 27 million men, women, and children are still enslaved around the globe.
John Newton, the slave-trader-turned-song-writer, wrote the world’s most popular hymn, Amazing Grace two hundred years ago.
Amazing Grace- the movie explaining the end of the slave trade in England by William Wilberforce and John Newton hits theaters next Friday, February 23. http://www.amazinggracesunday.com/us/index.html

This year, daylight-saving time arrives a little earlier and will last a little later -- March 11 to November 4…causing a problem for some electronic equipment.
Software created before the “daylight-saving time” law was changed in 2005 is set to automatically advance its timekeeping by one hour on the first Sunday in April, not the second Sunday in March.
The problem will show up not only in computers, but in things such as digital watches and clocks. A common fix is just to reprogram the machines with the updated start and end dates for daylight saving time. Microsoft, for example, sent a downloadable software patch to Windows PCs with the "automatic update" feature. http://www.wxii12.com/technology/11011883/detail.html
