Education Committee. Meanwhile, Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna is headed to Washington, D.C. to meet with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. For higher education, the state could apply for univer- sity research grants, but is also expected to receive funding for construction. But money must be used to “mitigate” the need to raise tuition and fees for in-state students. It wasn’t clear Tuesday how the tuition increase at the College of Southern Idaho on Monday played a role. Some JFAC members expressed concern when analysts informed them that in order to receive the money, funding for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 fiscal years must be at a minimum of 2006 levels. It’s a nationwide requirement and budget analysts said was a “low-risk” of not being met in Idaho.

MacDonald resigned in 2007 after the Interior Department’s inspector gen- eral concluded she pressured federal scientists to alter find- ings on certain matters before the agency. “This (lynx habitat) was one that we decided she may have inappropriately influ- enced,’’ Shawn Sartorius, the Fish and Wildlife Service’s lead lynx biologist, said Tuesday from his Helena office. Sartorius, who said he knows of no terrestrial criti- cal-habitat designation larger than the 39,000-square-mile plan, added that not all the same people were involved in the lynx decisions of 2006 and Tuesday. That two such wide- ly different outcomes were reached may not be attributa- ble entirely to MacDonald’s involvement or lack of it, he said.

By Amy Scattergood Los Angeles Times India Just because the expense-account lunch is largely a thing of the past doesn’t mean that you can’t still enjoy the meal, even cele- brate it. Instead of depending on the kind- ness of menus, use a little homespun imag- ination. Thinking outside the lunch box is proba- bly the best way of getting anything good inside it. In the comfort of your own kitchen, you can compose a lunch that’s tasty, well-con- structed, a bit off the beaten PB&J track — and, most important, portable. Imagine that you’re packing a picnic. Lunch is more fun if you think pragmati- cally. Don’t pack items that might pose a health risk. Avoid fragile things like delicate cookies and, yes, potato chips.

Even if you use a Thermos, don’t include items that need to be served very hot or very cold.
