In this photo taken June 9, 2012 and provided by Patty Willams a three legged bear tries to open a bear-proof trash can in Burnsville, N.C. The bear was shot and killed in August by management of an upscale housing development in the Blue Ridge Mountains. That bears death in Mountain Air, about 35 miles north of Asheville, has become a flashpoint for outraged wildlife advocates who say the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission needs to find non-lethal ways to handle so-called nuisance bears.

FILE In this March 20, 2009, file photo mounds of fresh broccoli are on display in the produce section of an Arlington, Va., grocery. A team of researchers and agricultural agents want to take a bite out of the West Coast's $1 billion broccoli monopoly by creating an East Coast network of farmers to feed a growing U.S. appetite for the stalky vegetable. The initiative is driven by rising fuel costs to ship crates of broccoli in refrigerated trucks from California fields to East Coast grocery coolers, the "grow local" movement and concerns about creating a sustainable, diversified food network.
