Can You Hear Me Now Yogi Bear? Cell Phones in Yellowstone
Yogi Bear is about to have his eye out for a pic-a-nic basket with an iPhone in it. Yellowstone National Park officials have just released a plan to provide cell phone coverage and wireless Internet for parts of the park, while minimizing cell towers from the more remote areas. The environmental impact has been found negligible in terms of flora and fauna, though visitors of the human variety may be affected a little more.
Wild West! 22% Think States Have Right to Secede—Some Did!
Ride 'em cowboys! Here's a little poll for you state's rights-ers out there: a new Zogby poll shows that one in five Americans believe that any state or region has the right to "peaceably secede from the United States and become an independent republic." Those in the South and East agreed a little stronger with the notion of ditching the "United" part (perhaps because they've done it before?) and young people agreed with the notion much more strongly — 40 percent of them in fact.
Wyoming Republicans Attack, Say Democrats Are All Wet
Were you a Republican in Wyoming yesterday? If you were, had $5 in your pocket, and happened to be swinging by the Jackalope Days festival in Douglas, you'd have had a chance to tell a Democrat go soak his head — literally.
The local Democratic Party hosted a "Dunk a Democrat" booth to raise money for the party — $5 bucks buys 6 balls and a chance to slam a donkey into the drink.

Should Fitness be a Course in High Schools?
I really don't know anyone that loved taking PE in high school, but what if the classes taught useful fitness skills rather than how to score bowling (isn't it all done electronically now anyway?) or being quizzed on the Super Bowl scores. Well, Wyoming High School (in Ohio) will be offering Lifetime Fitness to incoming freshmen and the class will teach students what a target heart rate is and how to find it. It will also get their hearts racing with cardiovascular activities, yoga and strengthening exercises.
Junior Jetset: Wild About Wyoming!
The first time a person lays eyes on the Grand Tetons outside the town of Jackson, WY, it takes one's breath away — even a tot's. Nestled between mountains and national parks, the Jackson airport does not serve every major airline, but can be reached through other large hubs. Once there renting a car is a breeze and a must if one intends on taking advantage of all the area has to offer.
The State of Eating Veggies in the US
When it comes to eating enough veggies and fruits, Americans are failing miserably. The CDC estimates that only 14 percent of adults and fewer than 10 percent of teenagers in the US eat three servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit on a daily basis.
And you know, five servings of fruit and veggies is the minimum suggestion.

"F as in Fat" 2009 Finds Mississippi Heaviest State
The Trust For America's Health compiles a report every year, detailing how our nation's obesity policies are failing. The report, titled F as in Fat, doesn't mince words, but it does break down the rates of obesity by state.
For the fifth year in a row, Mississippi has the unfortunate distinction of topping the list with 32.5 percent of its adult population considered obese.
2007 State Easter Eggs Cause a Bit of Controversy
Each Easter, since 1994, every state has sent a decorated egg to the White House. The eggs are created by artists from across the US and are decorated to represent each of the 50 states (plus one for DC). The collection is coordinated by the American Egg Board and this year there's a tiny bit of controversy.
