Look at what’s on his plate: the Pentagon’s budget crunch, the war in Afghanistan, the postwar period in Iraq, Iran’s nuclear ambitions , Israeli issues, U.S.-Pakistan relations, China’s growing military and the biggest challenge of all — Congress.

It was Kate Middleton ’s year: The newly minted Duchess won the heart of both Prince William and the world, with her easy grace and shiny — so shiny! — hair. She was runner-up for Time Magazine’s Person of the year (“The Protester” won), and was recently named 2011’s best-mannered person (The worst? Kim Kardashian.) Her uterus even made our year-end list of what’s in and out , replacing her sister Pippa’s posterior as the royal body part fueling national speculation. Read full article > >

Pragmatic, data-driven and hard-working — the person Mitt Romney was in the mid-70s in graduate school is the person he is now, his former classmates say.

Time unveiled the magazine’s perennial Person of the Year on Wednesday, opting to go with “The Protester” as the influential synecdoche of the past 12 months instead of a single individual who made big news this year. In a run-up to its big reveal, the magazine took a reader poll asking who the general public thought should be the person of the year and — perhaps unsurprising, given the outpouring of grief over his death — Steve Jobs was on the public’s short list.

Kate Krader ( @kkrader on Twitter ) is Food & Wine's restaurant editor. When she tells us where to get our grub on, we listen up. I’ve always believed that the day after Halloween is better than the holiday itself – November 1st being the day when all candy left on store shelves goes on half price sale. If you’re not like me, if you’re already getting sick of the candy you stole from your kids, or legitimately trick-or-treated for yourself, here are some smart strategies for unloading those sweets. Smash it up My hero in this world is Christina Tosi from NYC’s Momofuku Milk Bar. And my new favorite all-purpose snack food is her ingenious Snack Mix, combining sugar-coated pretzels with broken-up mini candies like Reese’s or Take 5’s. If you don’t feel like smashing up mini bars, you can alternatively toss in peanut M&M’s. Bake it At my house candy corn disappears; that’s not true at everyone's home. Candy corn haters can thus rejoice in the chocolate chip cookies that Momofuku’s Christina Tosi created (hers include a tasty cornflake crunch). They’re studded with the candy – you can’t really taste them, but they look super fun melted into the cookies. Drink it I won’t suggest that this is any kind of power drink, but Snickers lends themselves quite nicely to milkshakes. If you chop them up and mix them with milk and vanilla ice cream, you’re set. Next I’ll be experimenting with Milky Ways. Donate it If you want to unload candy, and do a good deed, your excess mini 3 Musketeers, Raisinets and Starbursts can find their way to troops overseas. Both Operation Gratitude and Operation Shoebox will send the candy to U.S. troops. Local food banks are generally glad to accept your candy, too. Make a mosaic Maybe you don’t want to be the world’s most charitable candy donor. Perhaps you want to be the person who makes the world’s largest candy mosaic. If so, you’ve got your work cut out for you. The current Guinness world record, set in 2010 in Shanghai, is a 516-square-foot mural comprised of Jelly Belly jelly beans. It weighed in at 1540 pounds. So hopefully you have a lot of leftover candy.

A man in Carson City shot a group of National Guard members at an IHOP, killing two and another person.
After 10 slow miles on a bumpy dirt road with no other person or dwelling in sight, it crossed my mind that maybe the owners of Bitterroot Ranch didn’t really want to be found. There were no signs anywhere, no encouragement that we were getting any closer, or had even made the correct turn off the one-lane road just past the blink-of-an-eye cowboy town of Dubois, in Wyoming’s less-traveled Wind River Valley. There was nothing. No GPS guidance. No cellphone service. No caravan of other rented four-wheel drives to fall in behind. Nothing. Nothing but 360 degrees of mountain ranges of every size and hue, backlit by a big sky turning purple and orange as the sun set. Gray and white strokes of rainstorms moved across the grassy meadows and sagebrush plains in the distance. I wanted to stop and stare forever. I wanted to keep driving, too, to figure out if we were lost before it became pitch dark. Read full article > >
