It's word association time. Say the first word that springs to mind: "holiday ----." Did you think "season"? "Sale"? "Hangover"?
How about "music?" This year, there are plenty of new holiday albums to pick from. Cee Lo Green, English pop-rocker Tracey Thorn and the left-field collective Redtenbacher Funkestra are just a few of the dozens of entertainers with albums out there made for celebrating the season. But which ones will offer yuletide cheer and which will feel like the same old thing, re-gifted?
Here's Calendar's 2012 roundup of the best new holiday music releases.
*** 1/2 Cee Lo Green "Cee Lo's Magic Moment" (Elektra). The clown prince of R&B often lets his outsized public persona overshadow his music, but the man can sing. In fact, this collection might be the best guidance he could offer any contestants on "The Voice" — or "American Idol" or "X Factor," for that matter. The holiday spirit's in full force here, in his loopy Motown-esque collaboration with the Muppets ("All I Need Is Love"), an inspired a cappella arrangement of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" with Straight No Chaser and a stunningly powerful reading of Mark Lowry and Lee Green's "Mary, Did You Know?" Magic indeed.

New Details Emerge for Wizarding World Attraction: Forbidden Journey Ride, John Williams' Involvement, and More
Mar 25, 2010
More information has now come online regarding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park, which will have its grand opening at Universal Orlando Resort on June 18, 2010. In a press release from Universal, more details about the many elements of the park and its features have been revealed. Adding to our report from early this morning, the release notes:
"The attraction's newly created ride system envelops guests in filmed action scenes and moves those scenes with them as they travel through the ride, allowing more time in the center of the adventure and with their favorite characters. This fusion of robotic technology and filmed scenes has never been achieved until now. In some cases, technology had to be invented to achieve the highest level of guest experience. The combination of pioneering, state-of-the-art technology, innovative filmmaking and surprises around every corner make this attraction the embodiment of the Harry Potter book and film series-and the future of theme park entertainment."
A series of quick facts about the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride are also included:
- Storyline: As you venture through Hogwarts, you meet Harry, Ron and Hermione, who convince you to skip a planned lecture and follow them. Upon taking their advice you travel by Floo powder, and begin your adventure as you soar over Hogwarts, narrowly escape a dragon attack, have a close encounter with the Whomping Willow, get pulled into a Quidditch match and more.
- First-ever combination of advanced robotic ride system technology with innovative, immersive filmmaking
- Award-winning composer John Williams oversaw the creation of the attraction's score
- The queue includes the following Harry Potter book and film elements: Headmaster Dumbledore's office, Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, Gryffindor common room, Room of Requirement, and the greenhouse; talking portraits including the Fat Lady and the never-before-seen four founders: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw; the Sorting Hat, the One-Eyed Witch statue and the Mirror of Erised
- Duration of ride: The full attraction experience, including the queue, takes about an hour
- Number of scenes in the attraction: 12
- Characters (featuring Harry Potter film talent): Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Albus Dumbledore, Rubeus Hagrid and Draco Malfoy You may also catch a glimpse of Fred and George Weasley, Ginny Weasley and Neville Longbottom
An accompanying video also on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter site features President of Universal Creative Mark Woodbury speaking to the latest news from the theme park as well. The video can now be viewed here in our Video Galleries.
Readers will recall that, Universal announced the grand opening for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be on June 18th. Those who have purchased one of the advertised packages for May 28 are still promised a "Harry Potter experience," according to reps from the park. TLC's full report can be read here.

White House Punishes Pool Reporter For Posting Video Of Bradley Manning Supporters Protesting Obama
from the sad dept
They won't give a clear explanation of why, but the implication is that because she went beyond "pen and pad" with the video, she violated some sort of guideline, though the SF Chronicle says no guidelines were violated:
The White House Press Correspondents' Association pool reporting guidelines warn about "no hoarding" of information and also say, "pool reports must be filed before any online story or blog." While uploading her video probably was the best way to file her report, Carla may have technically busted the letter of that law.No matter what, the clear implication is that the administration doesn't like it when reporters show stuff that embarrasses them. For a "transparent" president, and one who claims to have embraced various aspects of social media (as the report notes, this protest happened hours after Obama spent some time at Facebook...), it seems incredibly hypocritical to punish a reporter for embracing new technology and new tools to report on a story.
But the guidelines also say, "Print poolers can snap pictures or take video. They are not obliged to share these pictures...but can make them available if they so choose."

Wesley Saunders led Harvard with 21 points Monday evening (Harvard Athletic Communications).
VERBANIA, Italy – The Harvard men's basketball team concluded its foreign tour trip to Italy with a 4-0 record, capped by an 81-62 win over Paffoni Omegna Monday evening.
Wesley Saunders led all players with 21 points and was 8-of-8 from the foul line, while Brandyn Curry added 18 points and five assists and Dee Giger scored 10 points for the Crimson. Saunders also grabbed six rebounds and dished out four assists. Steve Moundou-Missi came down with nine rebounds to pace Harvard.
The Crimson and Paffoni Omegna stood tied, 6-6, after the first 4:30 of play, but Harvard followed with a 7-0 run as Curry nailed a wide open triple and then followed with a runner in the lane, making it 13-6. With just under three minutes left in the first quarter, Curry slipped a pass to Christian Webster who hit a jumper, as the Crimson led, 17-11. Harvard extended its advantage to 26-16 when Giger nailed a trey from the left corner in the last minute of play in the frame. Saunders added a layup after driving through traffic in the paint, putting the Crimson open 28-16 after the first.
With 8:23 to go in the second, Kenyatta Smith drew a flagrant foul and hit both free throws, as the Crimson opened a 33-18 lead. After Paffoni Omegna went on a 11-4 run, cutting the deficit to 37-29, Saunders made a tip-in to up Harvard's lead to 42-31. With 1:42 left, Curry found Giger for a layup, as the Crimson extended its advantage to 47-32. With one second to play, Travis was fouled after grabbing an offensive board and made the second foul shot, as Harvard led, 51-35, after the first 20 minutes.
In the third, neither team mustered much offensively early, but Casey made a reverse layup at the 3:06 mark, as the Crimson maintained a 16-point lead, 59-43. On Harvard's next possession, Curry hit a floater, giving Harvard its largest lead to that point, 61-43. The Crimson tacked on a 3-pointer by Saunders, as Harvard continued to pull away and take control, 66-43.
Entering the fourth, Harvard owned a 70-44 lead, as the Crimson surrendered only nine points in the third quarter. With 6:55 left in the game, Saunders made a move under the hoop, drawing contact, and hit the basket and ensuing free throw, giving Harvard a 25-point edge, 73-48. At the 4:19 mark, Christian Webster connected a on a 3-pointer, as Harvard went up, 78-52.

The world, it's been said, is made up of two kinds of people, and by now you know what I'm talking about. There are Cadbury Creme Egg people and there are Peeps people, and today the distinction between the two camps becomes clear.
The world, it's been said, is made up of two kinds of people, and by now you know what I'm talking about. There are Cadbury Creme Egg people and there are Peeps people, and today the distinction between the two camps becomes clear.
If you're a fan of Cadbury Eggs you patiently look forward to your favorite seasonal indulgence — the Cadbury Cr�me Egg, a confection from across the pond and like none other, and the very idea of marshmallow Peeps makes you cringe. If you're a Peeps fan you love Peeps chicks and Peeps bunnies, you like them plain and you like them dipped in chocolate, you like jelly beans and bubble gum and Cadbury Eggs and you even, in a pinch, will settle for a Necco wafer.
Not entirely sure which you are? Here are a few more ways to tell:
The Cadbury Egg woman plans ahead, and that's why this year she will be using raspberries from the berry patch she cultivated in the yard, by the heirloom roses, that she harvested last summer and flash-froze, then saved to make her own pink and egg dye. The soft blush will look exceptionally lovely in the raffia basket she wove over Presidents Day weekend. This year's egg theme at the Peeps house? Neon! With glitter! The Cadbury Egg gardener considers forsythia to be far too unruly and undisciplined a plant to grown in her own yard — hers is a French garden, inspired by her childhood visits to the Conservatory Gardens in New York, and soon the rows of spring tulips and chrysanthemums will bloom. But forsythia do have their charms, so in an uncharacteristic nod to madcap springtime fun she spends one lunch hour each March in the West 28th Street flower district and treats herself to a big armful of yellow sprays. (Everyone on the train home adores it! So cheery!) The Peeps person loves her giant, ever-expanding forsythia bush. It's gorgeous, and when it fill out it's just about big enough to camouflage the burn barrel. The Cadbury Egg commuter will set aside one afternoon of spring break to detail his car, replace the windshield wipers, and switch the wintry-evergreen air freshener to tangerine and orange blossom, which he finds invigorating and bright but still subtle. The Peeps commuter figures that since April starts tomorrow, it's safe to take the 50-pound bag of kitty litter out of the trunk, thus making room for fishing gear. It took a bit of practice, but the Cadbury Egg hostess can swiftly turn an ordinary white linen dinner napkin into a 3-D woodland rabbit, and 12 of them will be holding sentry at tonight's dinner table. The Peeps person got fancy this year, too: Bunny ears for everybody! "Clean Out Garage" was on the Cadbury Egg person's spring cleaning checklist, and she set out to do it. But honestly, that system of steel shelving and the money she invested in proper storage bins last year made all the difference, and the garage stayed shipshape all year. So she used the garage clean-out time to organize all those cans on the "Paint/Interior" shelf according to the Pantone color chart, something she's been meaning to do for ages. The Peeps person has a garage, and intends to include cleaning it on her spring-cleaning checklist, which she started writing but has since misplaced. But "Find Spring Cleaning List" is almost at the top of her to-do list, right below "Find Garage Key."
nThe Cadbury Egg woman finds inspiration for her dream home on "Downton Abbey." Of course, it wouldn't be anything as over-the-top grand as Highclere Castle, but something akin to Lady Violet's cottage nearby, and the Cadbury Egg woman admires the dowager countess' elegant and understated style. The Peeps person wants to live in Barney's apartment, from "How I Met Your Mother," mostly on account of the Stormtrooper.
Late tonight, the Cadbury Egg woman will spend a few well-deserved quiet moments sipping a sweet ice wine, which pairs nicely with her favorite chocolate treat. The Peeps person has finished her wine, and is thinking that tonight may be the night to find out if what she's heard about Peeps in the microwave is actually true.

WALLENPAUPACK - Students in the Wallenpapuack School District have added a clever link to the district's chain of kindness. As an extension of Rachel's Challenge, the anti-bullying program based on theories of kindness from Rachel Joy Scott, the first victim of the 1999 Columbine School shooting in Colorado; students, faculty and staff recently participated in the district's first ever "lip dub."
Friday morning, students at the North Primary School were in the gymnasium dancing and singing to, "Brave" by Sara Bareills and "Roar" by Katy Perry. In the afternoon, the high school students took their part a step further, singing and dancing throughout the halls of the high school. Monday, the other schools completed their parts in the video project with the South Elementary students joining together to make a rainbow with teachers acting as the sun. The video will eventually be posted on YouTube.
Rachel's Club adviser and an English teacher in the district, Kelly Obermiller said the idea for the lip dub came about when the student council was looking for ways to extend Rachel's Challenge in the school.
After getting approval from district administrators, who Obermiller said were, "really awesome," the enthusiasm from everyone has been great. Teachers throughout the district, she said, have been instrumental in keeping the students excited.
English teacher Jessica Sutton and theater teacher Allison Hoffman developed the performance's story. Hoffman said the story is meant to, "convey" Scott's challenge with each school incorporating one of her goals as their main theme. The choreography, she explained was meant to be easy enough that it could "transcend" from kindergarten students up to seniors. The simplicity of the performance, she added was so everyone could have fun and it would, "unify us as an entire district."
The entire project, Hoffman said was, "great and so much fun," because the school spirit has been apparent throughout the schools. As graduates of the district, both Hoffman and Sutton were touched by the project.
With everyone joining together to complete the project and having fun too, Sutten said that is one of the reasons she wanted to be a teacher. Coming together now, she said is important because of the issues of bullying that divide students. The students working together, she said, "was really awesome."
High school English teacher, Cindy Fehringer has worked with the kids on the show's choreography. Together, Obermiller said it was, "kind of like a team thing." At the high school, over 100 students tried out to participate to sing in the performance, but district wide, everyone was involved.
The entire experience of composing the lip dub, Obermiller said has been great because people aren't forgetting about the point of Rachel's Challenge and spreading kindness. Part of what has made the lip dub so special, she said is that the entire district is involved and the, "unity," is what will make the concepts of Rachel's Challenge a success because they will reach out to the community too. The unity and kindness, Obermiller added, needs to be taught to kids. To continue the programs growth, students have made kindness chains, where positive notes are written on slips of paper that make a paper chain, which Obermiller said will hopefully go through the halls of the entire school at some point.
Before the students at the North Primary School started Friday morning, Principal Anthony Cavallaro told the students that he has noticed a lot of acts of kindness happening in the school with kids helping others and a lot of sharing. The lip dub, he said, was just one way for peoples' positive spirits to continue on.
The final video, Obermiller said will hopefully be done around Thanksgiving.

I don't really enjoy doing it but the venison is worth it, and will keep you fed for a long time.
I don't care.
My parents are against it, so I've never gone and I wouldn't if given the opportunity, either. I'm more against factory farming than I am hunting. I've also never met a hunter that wasn't some backwoods uncultured honky-tonk loving weirdo. It also weirds me out when people post pictures of their kill online.

Oh, how brutal stereotypes can be...
Tobuscus 2016!
Thankfully I wasn't raised in the south... no telling how I'd be.
I think hunting is fine, families I know live off wild turkey, deer, and pheasant.
I myself can't stand the site of blood and guts which is part of hunting, furthermore I couldn't rob something of its last breath.
But if left alone these animals would become ill, overpopulated and put humans at harm. Which is different topic.
So please come and get yourself a turkey or deer, or even a coyote!
It's ironic that sometimes the more educated one is, the further from reality one gets-- and the greater distance one tries to put between one's self and the supposedly unilluminated unwashed masses. It's amazing to me how prevalent is the "noble savage" and other similar myths-- that nature (or Nature) is harmonious, idyllic, peaceful, and that we'd somehow be better off without the trappings of what makes modern civilization possible (not that we cannot improve upon or reform what we have, or that mistakes haven't been made).
I've gone fishing a number of times before, but I've never hunted in the usual sense of that word. Nonetheless, I've no illusions that my diet and indeed my basic survival has rested and will continue to rest upon the deaths of uncounted numbers of other species, from microbes to plants to cattle. I'm also quite sure some other living things wouldn't hesitate to kill me if given the chance and it suited them to do so, for whatever reason. As a matter of being a good steward of natural resources, I'm all in favor of hunting if one uses the prey to good purpose (e.g. food, clothing, medicines, tools, even artistry), but not for entertainment solely or if deliberately wasteful. I'd also favor moratoriums on hunting of, or even consumption of certain species in order to preserve overhunted/overfished populations for future generations. If the chance should ever come, I'd hunt-- can't say I'd specifically seek out the chance, though-- I've enough to do in my life as it is. Should I decide to try my hand at hunting, I'd learn first to shoot my bow accurately (or firearm, if I ever own one) and reliably to effect a kill shot on the first try, and probably I'd have to learn other skills as well in order to be even a minimally competant hunter. I'm quite sure one can't just waltz out into the woods and expect to bring back something without getting lost, injured, or even killed or just wasting one's time (or shooting one's friends by mistake, as I hear occasionally happens).
I think it's like learning to shoot people. Good to know how, but best to not do unless it's really necessary.
(I've never learned either, though )

I only think hunting is acceptable if your going to eat it
agreed, i wont shoot anything i dont plan on eating. Pheasant and deer are delicious, turkey is ok but wild turkey isnt quite as good. Buffalo on the other hand is AMAZING, pain in the ass to gut tho, your damn near crawling inside the thing to gut it
Hunting is fine by me....as long as it's hunting animals not in the endangered list.
Also, you can't let your game go to waste.
I think sport hunting is stupid. hunting for food is good, but I myself won't go hunting. I've done it before, and I'm just not the type of person who can sit in one spot without doing anything for prolonged periods of time.
personally, I find it funny when a person says they're against hunting, yet they have no qualms about eating supermarket meat. how is hunting a wild animal any more "cruel and unusual" than what farmers do to their mass produced cattle stock? it's actually more humane. not only that, but the meat is better for you.
glass, once broken, can never be restored perfectly
I think it's wrong.
I recently had a pet just passed away... and it was a devastating experience for me. I'm still grieving even though it's been 5 months.
In the last moments of her life, she was holding on to dear life, and it made me realise how much every animal wants to live. How precious life is.
And to take that away is just cruel.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
lol humans the only ones who kill for fun? That's a load of crap. Lions? Yeah they'll kill their own children just to bang the mom. Blue jays? yeah they drop eggs and steal nests. And Dolphins...the nefarious dolphins, hippies greatest ally. You are aware that they very much kill just for sport and no other reason. Also, they kill each others young. The list goes on, we ain't that great but we're on top of the food chain so if you want to go and exert your dominance on some animals? Be my guest, has zero impact on my life.
survival: most definitely.
entertainment: no. i don't like it when my enemies don't or don't have achance to fight back. and that's why i spar.
I'm hardly active.
I personally think each package of meat you buy in the grocery store should have a picture of an animal's face on the label. Not because I'm some hippie who is against killing animals but because of how out of touch society is with how the world really is.
The animals that you eat from stores are more brutally treated than ones off frolicking in the wild before I shoot it down, skin it, and eat it. The animals I kill are given a chance to experience life and all of it's enjoyments. Sure it won't grow old but it will get turned into a tasty dinner.
Anyone who has eaten meat should go out and shoot a few deer/hogs. Hunting deer/hogs is a great way to get meet and personally it's a lot of fun. Some people think these animals are "cute" and as such refuse to shoot them or can't bare the thought of it- you're wrong. These animals are annoyances and if not properly taken care of will potentially kill you, your car, or perhaps someone you know.
Animals are tasty. You eat them- don't be a hypocrite. Shoot them. K thx

After spending four years with Chivas USA and half of a season with the Montreal Impact, Justin Braun is finally coming back home. The Salt Lake City-native was acquired by Real Salt Lake on July 11, 2012 in a trade with Montreal in exchange for a conditional pick in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft.
The athletic striker and Skyline High School grad will provide depth up top for RSL, helping the club through its busy CONCACAF Champions League and MLS schedule. The 25-year-old Braun will be looking to regain the form that saw him lead Chivas USA in scoring in both 2009 and 2010 and earn call-ups to the U.S. national team's annual January camp in 2010 and 2011.
2011: Tied for Chivas USA lead with eight goals while adding five assists in 29 games, including 22 starts… Scored his first career hat trick on May 15, against the New York Red Bulls, and recorded his second hat trick of the season on July 23 against the Houston Dynamo… Acquired by the Montreal Impact with midfielder Gerson Mayen on November 23, for defender James Riley and allocation money… Left Chivas USA as the club's second all-time leading goal scorer with 24 goals.
2010: Led Chivas USA with nine goals and three assists while playing 28 games, including 24 starts.
2009: Started 14 of 15 games for Chivas USA, scoring three goals and two assists… Missed much of the middle of the season with a concussion, but made his return to the starting lineup in August, helping the team qualify for the playoffs for the fourth straight season… Started in both of the team's MLS playoff games.

Google and National Geographic are getting into the spirit and have released one of the best Google Earth KMLs I have seen to commemorate Geography Awareness Week (Nov. 11th-17th). Disclosure: I used to work at National Geographic.
The map loads quite a few individual markers but zooms into just one and expands it's "bubble" (providing an entry point into the graphic) and then proceeds thru the markers as the reader answers quiz questions on a variety of topics about Asia, this year's featured continent. A far cry from the franticness of NG's Ivory Wars KML data dump. You will need version 4.2 or better of Google Earth.

Milk from America's West Coast containing trace amounts of radioactive iodine is safe to drink, health officials say.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration reported higher-than-normal levels of radioactive Iodine-131 in milk samples from California and Washington Wednesday. But the levels are 5,000 times below the danger threshold.
"These types of findings are to be expected in the coming days and are far below levels of public health concern, including for infants and children," the EPA said on its website.
A March 25 radiation reading from milk in Spokane, Wash. -- 0.8 picocuries per liter -- is more than 4,000 times less than that of a normal banana, which naturally contains radioactive potassium.
"Radiation is all around us in our daily lives, and these findings are a minuscule amount compared to what people experience every day," FDA senior scientist Patricia Hansen said in a statement.
A person would have to drink almost 1,500 gallons of milk -- two firetrucks full -- in eight days to reach the conservative safe limit.
The agencies will continue to measure radiation levels in milk and other food products in the U.S. during Japan's ongoing nuclear crisis.
"Radioactivity levels in milk products are monitored, so it is unlikely that any significantly contaminated milk would make it to the marketplace," said Dr. Timothy Jorgensen, associate professor in the department of radiation medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center. "The U.S. population need not be concerned about this level of Iodine-131."
On March 28 the EPA reported very low levels of radiation in the air over Alaska, Alabama, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Saipan, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and Washington state.
"The major food concern is with milk, because the I-131 gets concentrated in cow milk, when cows eat I-131 contaminated grass," Jorgensen said. "So although other foods might contain I-131, the major route of human exposure would be through milk products."
On March 22, the FDA banned milk and produce imported from Japan's Fukushima, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma prefectures.
Jorgensen said the levels of radioactive iodine in milk on the West Coast do not warrant the use of potassium iodine tablets.
"It is possible to overdose on potassium iodine tablets, particularly if small children are given adult doses," Jorgensen said. "It is best to follow the advice of public health officials with regard to both food consumption and potassium iodine use."
Radiation Fears in U.S. Still High
Despite reassurance from various governmental agencies, public fears about radiation in the U.S. persist.
"It's very hard to head about radiation and iodine in milk and not be concerned. It sounds scary," said ABC News chief health and medical editor Dr. Richard Besser in an interview on ABC News' "Good Morning America."
But Besser said the ongoing monitoring efforts mean problems would be reported very quickly to the public. And as the situation at Japan's crippled nuclear plant improves, the levels will drop dramatically.
"Once they're able to control this reactor, radioactive iodine does not stay around for very long," Besser said. "The half life is eight days, and so after 80 days it's gone from the environment."
In the meantime, the levels are far too low to cut out milk, he said.
"I drank milk this morning. I'm going to continue to give milk to my children."

HAYS — The owner of a popular Hays bar and grill has pleaded no contest to aggravated arson for a fire that heavily damaged the business and damaged six other businesses last October.
Benjamin Michael Butler entered the plea Tuesday in a fire at T-Bone's Sports Bar and Grill. Investigators say the blaze apparently started when Butler left a candle burning when he left the business.
The Hays Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/11N2twr ) state's sentencing guidelines mean Butler will likely be sentenced to two years of probation and be required to pay $350,000 restitution to the other businesses damaged by the fire.


text: Tuesday, May 31, 2011 Nations Making Gains in Reducing Tobacco Use, Says WHO Celebrated every year on May 31, World No Tobacco Day informs the public about the dangers of tobacco use, the business practices of tobacco companies, what the World Health Organization (WHO) is doing to fight the tobacco epidemic, and what people can do to claim their right to health and healthy living and to protect future generations. WHO's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), adopted by the World Health Assembly in 2003, includes 172 countries and the European Union that are obliged to: protect people from exposure to tobacco smoke; ban tobacco advertising and sales to minors; put large health warnings on packages of tobacco; ban or limit additives to tobacco products; increase tobacco taxes; and create a national coordinating mechanism for tobacco control. According to WHO, many countries have made "tremendous strides" in implementing FCTC's treaty. For example, Uruguay requires health warnings that cover 80% of the surface of tobacco packages; Australia is in the process of requiring all tobacco products to be in plain, unbranded packs; and Ireland in 2004 banned smoking in public places. Fact sheets on tobacco use and tuberculosis and tobacco are available from WHO, along with a publication on gender, women, and the tobacco epidemic.

Idaho rancher Kim Brackett has been chosen by Vance Publishing as one of the most innovative people in agriculture under the age of 40. The company honored Brackett with one of its first 40 Under 40 in Agriculture Awards earlier this month.
Brackett and others were chosen from 200 nominees for their leadership and commitment in advancing the cause to double food production by 2050 to meet the needs of a growing global population.
Candidates were nominated because of their passion for agriculture, demonstrated involvement in the food industry and their notable records of achievement.
"We were looking to identify and recognize extraordinary individuals in agriculture," said Shawn Etheridge, a Vance vice president and publishing director.
Brackett and her husband, Ira, run cows and calves in Idaho and Nevada and yearlings in northern California. Their four children cowboy right along with them, spending summers and weekends in the spring and fall out on the range.
She loves the lifestyle and is passionate about the industry and promoting beef, as evidenced in her involvement in cattlemen's organizations and the Beef Checkoff programs.
Brackett is serving as vice chairman of the Cattlemen's Beef Board (CBB), which administers Beef Checkoff programs, and served six years with the Idaho Beef Council.
Her work with the CBB finds her traveling a few times a month to meetings and conferences. She also gives presentations, speeches and radio interviews about the checkoff and the beef industry.
Her outreach also includes an award-winning blog,
beefmatters.org, in which she gives consumers a glimpse of ranch life. Approached by National Cattlemen's Beef Association about doing a blog, she launched the project in 2009 and diligently posts photos and excerpts of her ranching life.
The blog gives the average consumer a way to relate to ranch families, where beef comes from and how animals are handled. She also uses the blog to address such issues as animal care and handling, the Beef Quality Assurance program, employees, and hot media topics – such as antibiotic use and pink slime, she said.
The blog generates lots of e-mails and lots of questions, which she welcomes, she said.
It's all about giving back to the industry she's been involved in since childhood, she said.
"I think it's important to volunteer my time to the industry and try to improve it and the checkoff at the same time," she said.
"Kim is the epitome of an effective industry advocate," and the honor is well deserved, said Beef Board CEO Polly Ruhland.
Brackett said she enjoys going all over the country, meeting with fellow cattlemen and seeing their dedication to coming together to better the industry and the checkoff.
It's rewarding and inspiring, she said.
The checkoff covers a lot of areas, from gaining access to foreign markets and increasing beef demand to promoting beef and educating people about beef's nutritional benefits. Ultimately, it enhances profitability in the industry, she said.
The checkoff has had some bumps along the way but has made great strides in the last two years, building really good relationships with member organizations and contractors who carry out the checkoff programs, she said.
Brackett is a fourth-generation rancher and grew up on a cow-calf operation in southwest Wyoming. Her husband is a fifth-generation rancher, hailing from the Three Creek area in south-central Idaho.
Brackett said it's important that her children see their parents being active in their industry to understand the importance of advocacy so they'll step into the same role.

Smyrna Town Council had several topics to discuss at their March 4 meeting, including a vacant property on Smyrna/Clayton Boulevard and visitor speaking requirements.
Here are a few other tidbits from the March meeting.
Dangerous building addressed
Town Manager Dave Hugg announced in his report that the dangerous building condition at 2 N. Main St. was addressed by the town.
Hugg said a tree had managed to grow down inside the chimney of the building, which was wedging the bricks outward. Previously a metal band had been put around the chimney to hold it together, but the upper part of the chimney was still breaking apart.
Councilman Anthony DeFeo researched if the situation could be a potentially dangerous situation; the town determined it could be so the town took care of the issue.
Police officers honored
Police Chief Wil Bordley informed council that several officers and department employees were honored at a recent departmental meeting.
Sgt. Michelle Mitchell, who volunteers with the CAPS program, was named the department's 2012 Civilian of the Year. Det. Kevin Fox was named the 2012 Officer of the Year. Fred Moyer and Al Sammons were also honored for their work with the CAPS program.
Bordley informed council of some recent promotions within the department. Earl Timmons and Richard Ogden have been promoted to Telecommunications Specialist II.
Sgt. Brian Moore, who has been with the department for 18 years, was promoted to senior sergeant.
"Senior sergeant is the highest rank an officer can achieve on their own without being selected as a lieutenant, captain, or captain," Bordley said.
Residents address council
Penn Vernon Apartments owner Ken Boulden thanked council for demolishing the vacant TV repair shop at 404 Smyrna-Clayton Boulevard. However, he also asked that the town expedite the process of moving the property to sheriff's sale so they can recoup the money the town spent to demolish the property but also so he can bid on the property.
"I have some exciting ideas that we can develop in cooperation with the town, which would be a major asset. I can't do that if I don't own it," Boulden said.
Joe Sheridan told council the group that put on last year's Craft Beer, Wine & Food Festival would like to do it again.
"We are here to ask you guys to consider using the town insurance and the town non-profit to run this event because it is a town event," Sheridan said.
The item will be discussed at the Finance Committee's Wednesday, March 13 meeting.
Council establishes standing committees
Council approved a resolution that established which town committees would be considered standing committees.
The resolution states that the following committees are standing committees: Business Development, Charter Review, Finance, Long Range Planning, Personnel, Public Safety, and Utility.
The Compensation Committee, which was a topic of consideration at a previous council meeting, was originally included in the resolution but was taken off.
Councilwoman Regina Brown suggested that the Compensation Committee be a standing committee that not only determines the council's compensation but all town employees' compensation. However, council disagreed.
The topic of creating a new committee for the purpose of evaluating the compensation of town employees was postponed to the next council meeting as it was not on the agenda.

(Bloomberg) – Being arrested in Chicago for, say, drug possession or assault gets you sent to the Cook County Jail to be fingerprinted, photographed and X-rayed. You'll also get help applying for health insurance.
At least six states and counties from Maryland to Oregon's Multnomah are getting inmates coverage under Obamacare and its expansion of Medicaid, the federal and state health-care program for the poor. The fledgling movement would shift to the federal government some of the more than $6.5 billion in annual state costs for treating prisoners. Proponents say it also will make recidivism rarer, because inmates released with coverage are more likely to get treatment for mental illness, substance abuse and other conditions that can lead them to crime.
"When someone gets discharged from the jail and they don't have insurance and they don't have a plan, we can pretty much set our watch to when we're going see them again," said Ben Breit, a spokesman for the Cook County Sheriff's Office.
FAX BLAST SPECIAL: Repeal Obamacare NOW!
The still-small programs could reach a vast population: At the end of 2012, almost 7 million people in the U.S. were on parole, probation, in prison or locked up in jail, according to the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics. About 13 million people are booked into county jails each year, according to the Washington-based National Association of Counties.
Healthier Felons
Obamacare replaced a hodgepodge of state requirements that typically excluded childless adults from Medicaid. The 2010 law opened it to anyone making less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level, about $16,000 for an individual. In the 25 states that expanded the program under the Affordable Care Act, eligibility extends to many of the people most apt to be in jail or prison, said Fred Osher, director of health services and systems policy for the New York-based Council of State Governments Justice Center.
Governments generally must provide prisoners health care. Medicaid can't be used, except when inmates are hospitalized off site 24 hours or longer. That lets a state or county pass on costs for such things as heart surgery or a stay in a psychiatric facility.
Medicaid expansion also enables more prisoners to have coverage when they are released. States that don't expand it can help inmates get subsidized coverage in the insurance exchanges created under the law when they're released.
Counties in about half the states are responsible for some level of indigent care at hospitals, so getting inmates enrolled can reduce costs, said Paul Beddoe, deputy legislative director for the National Association of Counties.
Extra Sick
Cook County has been operating a pilot project to enroll prisoners in Medicaid since April under a federal waiver, while states including Connecticut, Illinois and Maryland and counties such as Multnomah, which includes Portland, have helped hundreds of prisoners apply for coverage under the Affordable Care Act since it took effect Jan. 1. California, Ohio, San Francisco and other jurisdictions are starting programs or considering them.
About 90 percent of inmates are uninsured, and many have never had treatment for their illness, Osher said. They have disproportionate rates of communicable and chronic diseases and behavioral disorders, he said. About 488,000 people in U.S. prisons and jails suffer from a mental illness, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Arlington, Virginia.
Getting them covered is just one way that state and local governments are using the health-care overhaul to save money. With U.S. cities facing rising benefit expenses and billions of dollars in unfunded liabilities, municipalities including Detroit and Chicago are planning to move retirees off city rolls and into federal insurance exchanges.
Shackled States
While analysts couldn't estimate what states and counties could save by getting inmates covered, state and local spending on corrections in 2011 was $73.2 billion, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Prison health-care expenses in 44 states studied by the Philadelphia-based Pew Charitable Trusts increased to $6.5 billion in 2008 from $4.3 billion in 2001, and grew 90 percent or more in 11 states, according to an October report.
"A lot of states will come to this, because state corrections budgets are huge and county jail budgets are huge," said Maureen McDonnell of Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities, a Chicagononprofit that helped establish inmate enrollment programs in Illinois.
Continuing Care
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, which plans to start enrolling inmates during the next two months, expects that it will save $18 million a year on hospitalization alone, said Stu Hudson, managing director of health care and fiscal operations.
Ex-prisoners who have insurance will be more likely to get treatment that would help them avoid committing crimes that got them locked up in the first place, Hudson said.
"They're provided good continuum of care from incarceration through their release into the community and onward," Hudson said by phone.
Illinois is seeking to get Medicaid coverage for prisoners who must be hospitalized, and for all when their release is imminent, said Tom Shaer, a spokesman for the Corrections Department. He said the state has enrolled about 125 parolees or inmates since Jan. 1.
Book 'Em
Cook County, which includes Chicago and has the largest single-site jail complex in the U.S., has started about 13,000 insurance applications since April, said Marlena Jentz of the sheriff's public-policy office. More than 2,000 prisoners have obtained coverage after their release, she said.
When people are booked into the jail, they get photographed and fingerprinted, turn over their personal property, go through a full-body scan and head to a classification area. There, they are assigned a cell, and a worker from Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities helps them complete an application for Medicaid.
In Multnomah County, the jail has completed Medicaid applications for about 800 inmates during the past three weeks using seven eligibility specialists, said Nancy Griffith, director of corrections health.
The county is targeting inmates who have the highest costs for treatment, including those with a mental illness or chronic conditions, as well as those with frequent arrests, Griffith said.
"The hope is that this benefits the whole county," Griffith said in a telephone interview.
Unintended Consequences
Former U.S. Senator Kent Conrad, a Democrat from North Dakota who was on the Senate Finance Committee when the Affordable Care Act passed, said he doesn't recall discussions about the law's being used to cover inmates.
Conrad said that while he agrees that it's better to have as many people as possible insured — including prisoners — he's bothered by federal taxpayers picking up the tab for inmate hospital stays.
"It starts to look a little like a scheme by the states and local jurisdictions to avoid responsibilities that are really theirs," Conrad said in a telephone interview.
Still, it would be "foolish" not to adopt the strategy, said San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi. He estimates it would save $2,500 a year per inmate and reduce repeat incarcerations about 20 percent.
"This is the most unsympathetic population there is," Mirkarimi said in a telephone interview. "But the evidence and the jury is in: This is the way to enhance public safety and reduce recidivism."

(b) Unavoidable adverse side effects; warnings
(1) No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, if the injury or death resulted from side effects that were unavoidable even though the vaccine was properly prepared and was accompanied by proper directions and warnings.
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1), a vaccine shall be presumed to be accompanied by proper directions and warnings if the vaccine manufacturer shows that it complied in all material respects with all requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act [21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.] and section 262 of this title (including regulations issued under such provisions) applicable to the vaccine and related to vaccine-related injury or death for which the civil action was brought unless the plaintiff shows—
(A) that the manufacturer engaged in the conduct set forth in subparagraph (A) or (B) of section 300aa–23 (d)(2) of this title, or
(c) Direct warnings
No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, solely due to the manufacturer's failure to provide direct warnings to the injured party (or the injured party's legal representative) of the potential dangers resulting from the administration of the vaccine manufactured by the manufacturer.
(d) Construction
The standards of responsibility prescribed by this section are not to be construed as authorizing a person who brought a civil action for damages against a vaccine manufacturer for a vaccine-related injury or death in which damages were denied or which was dismissed with prejudice to bring a new civil action against such manufacturer for such injury or death.

Data-driven safety systems are vital to informing decisions that improve safety on the Nation's
roads—FMCSA relies on the States for accurate and comprehensive data on eligible crashes and
inspections to focus resources to further reduce crashes. We can't do it without you.
Each month, States are rated on reporting of safety data—this page provides States
with a robust resource to view their ratings and measures, and learn how to improve
data quality performance.
It is important to ensure that all crash records are reported to FMCSA. Crash records are used by the SMS to assess carrier safety performance and prioritize carriers for interventions that pose the greatest safety risk.
You can also explore other resources in the Help Center.
Estimated Reported is >= 50%
Estimated Reported is < 50%
State has < 15 records reported in current timeframe AND State has < 15 records reported in previous 3 year average AND Estimate Reported is <= 50%
The Crash Consistency Overriding Indicator evaluates 12 months of data to determine your State's rating. A record is evaluated if the date of the crash event—not the date of upload to FMCSA—falls within that 12-month range. As shown below, the range begins 15 months before the evaluation month, but excludes the most recent three months of data. In the example below, the January 2015 evaluation looked at the 12-month event date range November 1, 2013, through October 31, 2014; crashes that occurred after October 31, 2014, were not included in the evaluation.
This indicator evaluates non-fatal crash records representing interstate, intrastate, and non-motor carriers, and includes large trucks and buses.
The rating percentage is determined by dividing the number of non-fatal crash records in the current evaluation period by the average number of non-fatal crash records in the previous 3 years. If the percentage of non-fatal crash records reported is
Note: States that have an obvious and significant decline in non-fatal crash record reporting will be categorized as Poor in the Overall State Rating and the Crash Rating, without regard to their rating in other measures.
Use DataQs to request and track a review of Federal and State data issued by FMCSA that you believe may be incomplete or incorrect.
Connect with a Data Quality Specialist for insight on training and tools to understand and improve data quality.
Complete data quality results are available to FMCSA and State users who are logged into A&I Online. Once logged in, you will have full access to reports and tools for improving safety data.

Here We Go Again: Latest Draft Of White House Cybersecurity 'Executive Order' Is Leaked
from the why-do-we-need-this-again? dept
It's basically more of the same. It insists that there's a problem without providing any real evidence of that. Much of the order focuses on increasing information sharing among and between different government agencies. As expected, it's designed to encourage private companies, who are "owners and operators of critical infrastructure" to "participate, on a voluntary basis, in the Enhanced Cybersecurity initiative." This is part of what had people so concerned about the various bill proposals: whether or not companies would get broadly defined as "owners and operators of critical infrastructure" and then be forced or pressured into sharing private information, all in the name of "cybersecurity!"
And, of course, what is "voluntary" when it's the federal government, often means what is likely to put you in a very uncomfortable position if you don't participate. In fact, the executive order makes this somewhat explicit:
The Secretary shall coordinate establishment of a set of incentives designed to promote participation in the Program. Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary and the Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce each shall make recommendations separately to the President... on what incentives can be provided to owners and operators of critical infrastructure that participate in the Program, under existing law and authorities, and what incentives would require legislation, including analysis of the benefits and relative effectiveness of such incentives.So, yeah, "voluntary" belongs in quotes.
As for what counts as "critical infrastructure," well it basically involves various government agencies coming up with a list and then the government telling companies: "hey, you're critical infrastructure."
The Secretary, in coordination with Sector-Specific Agencies, shall confidentially notify owners and operators of critical infrastructure identified under subsection (a) of this section that they have been so identified, and ensure identified owners and operators are provided with relevant threat information.There is one oddity snuck into that subsection (a):
The Secretary shall not identify any commercial information technology products under this section.I'm not quite sure what that means within this context (so feel free to chime in and explain it if you do know...). Is it suggesting that this only applies to other forms of infrastructure? If so, that would ease the concerns of a number of tech companies, who were worried that they'd be listed as "critical infrastructure" under a broad reading of any rule.
The exec order does include a shout out to protecting civil liberties, though you wonder how much that will matter in practice:
Agencies shall coordinate their activities under this order with their senior agency officials for privacy and civil liberties and ensure that privacy and civil liberties protections are incorporated into such activities based upon the Fair Information Practice Principles and other applicable privacy and civil liberties policies, principles and frameworks.They also say that any programs will be reviewed by the Chief Privacy Officer and the Officer for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties to ensure that the program isn't causing any problems in those areas. For what it's worth, apparently the administration has been also reaching out to a lot of people to get in on the executive order -- a process described as "highly unusual" for an executive order.
Either way, it's still frustrating that the order brushes over what the real problems are. It just handwaves that question away by insisting that we're under attack, without providing either (a) evidence or (b) notification on what laws are currently causing issues here. That's unfortunate.

We recently surveyed visitors to search & discover and this is some of what they said.
Interaction, a place where a group of children can break and pursue their own interests and still be supervised
Inspires children to apply existing knowledge and develop interests further
Unique hands-on experience
It's very hands-on and the best part is the expert staff to give explanation in depth
Congratulations, I can't believe how much the Museum has improved. Very interesting and relevant. We had a great day!
I can look around at what interests me
Caters for all ages and interests
Something for everyone
Opportunity for self directed learning
Interactive exhibits enhance learning
Children can pursue their own interests
