That means Eagle County will have a new clerk and recorder. O’Brien will step down from the elected seat as of Jan. 4 to accept a new position as assistant to the county manager. Chief Deputy Clerk and Recorder Stacy Jones will take on O’Brien’s duties until the Eagle County Board of Commissioners appoints a replacement. That person will serve until voters elect someone to the position in 2026. O’Brien has served in the clerk’s office for the past 11 years. She was appointed to the top job in 2016 and reelected in 2018 and 2022. O’Brien said her job as clerk has been “fantastic. It’s been meaningful, challenging ... I’ve never been bored a single day.” Still, she said she didn’t think that job was where her career would end. Throughout her career with Eagle County, O’Brien found herself interested in the operations of other departments and divisions. During director meetings, she said she enjoyed learning about the successes and challenges facing those departments, from the airport to information technology. Still, she added, anything besides her elected position had to be the right thing, and she didn’t want to leave Eagle County. When the assistant to the county manager’s job came up, she saw her chance. “I read the job description and thought, ‘These are my strengths,'” she said. “The job was still with Eagle County, so I threw my name into the ring.” County Manager Jeff Shroll has known O’Brien for several years, and said hiring her was a “no-brainer.” Shroll noted that “you will have a difficult time finding a nicer human being in Eagle County.” And, he added, O’Brien has also proven she can assemble “an amazing team with top-notch people.” That goes beyond the election team, Shroll added, pointing to the motor vehicle team, a job he called “really complicated.” That’s going to be important in this new role, which will mostly involve a lot of work building relationships outside the county, particularly with the county’s municipal partners. “People should feel pretty confident they’re in good hands,” Shroll said, adding that O’Brien is a “great listener and problem-solver.” While O’Brien is looking forward to getting started, she said the timing of the job opening was critical in her decision to seek the position. If the job had been offered a year ago, she wouldn’t have considered it, she said. Eagle County is nearly a year away from the next coordinated election, and four years away from the next presidential election. This way, the next person in the clerk and recorder’s job will have plenty of time to understand the job, she said. And, since she’ll still be in the building, she’ll be available to answer whatever questions might come up. “It was the right time for me to grow and stretch,” she said.
Apple has "healthier" plans for its AirPods. While the tech major has already made clear that they are not just an audio device (the second-generation AirPods can be used as hearing aids), it is planning to integrate more health features into them. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the third-generation device —rumoured to be called AirPods Pro 3 — could be used for heart rate monitoring, as a temperature sensor, and tracking various physiological aspects. While still in "early development," Gurman acknowledged that heart rate monitoring may be included in AirPods Pro 3. They are anticipated to arrive in 2025, so the health features may get a reveal sometime soon. While the ability for the AirPods to track a user's heart rate is one of Apple's challenges, the other presumably would be how another health tracking gadget will add to the company's repertoire of health devices. The iPhone and Apple Watch already have health monitoring features, and Gurman mentioned that users who wish to track heart rate may not have to look at the Apple Watch. How Apple integrates the AirPods into its health tech ecosystem while sustaining the relevance of all devices remains to be seen. AirPods Pro 3 might also be the first audio product from the company’s stable to use Apple Intelligence. The future AirPods could have built-in cameras that could “be used to capture data that would be processed by AI and assist people in their daily routines.” The cameras will allow Apple Intelligence to visually comprehend the surroundings, similar to Apple’s recently unveiled Visual Intelligence feature in the iPhone 16 series. Apple may install a new H3 chip in the AirPods Pro 3 to power Apple Intelligence. This could allow for other capabilities, including health-related ones. Along with hearing assistance capabilities of the AirPods Pro 2, the updated device could include a new temperature sensor for more precise body temperature readings and other health sensors. The company is also anticipated to make the current audio capabilities of the AirPods, including adaptive transparency and noise reduction, even better.

Social media right now is flooded with recipes for appetizers, side dishes and desserts. Anyone making that cornbread casserole from TikTok? While we might not get to share a Thanksgiving feast with Swift — is your name Blake Lively? — or other celebrities beloved by Kansas City, we can eat like them.

Donna Kelce’s dinner rolls If we tried to guess how many holiday dinner rolls Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, have scarfed over the years, would it be in the hundreds? Thousands? Their mom has spoken often about the batches of holiday crescent rolls she has baked over the years. Based on the recipe that won the 1969 Pillsbury Bake-Off, Pillsbury’s Magic Marshmallow Crescent Puffs , they’re now known as Mama Kelce’s Dinner Rolls. They blend the crescent roll pastry with marshmallows, cinnamon and sugar. Dinner roll or dessert? We bet they didn’t last long enough in front of Travis and Jason for that debate. Ingredients Rolls •1/4 cup granulated sugar •2 tablespoons Pillsbury Best all-purpose flour •1 teaspoon ground cinnamon •2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) •16 large marshmallows •1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted Glaze •1/2 cup powdered sugar •1/2 teaspoon vanilla •2-3 teaspoons milk •1/4 cup chopped nuts Directions Make the rolls 1.

Taylor Swift’s favorite sweet potato casserole Swift gushed about the sweet potato casserole served at Del Frisco’s Grille in New York City, a dish crowned with a crunchy candied pecan and oatmeal crumble. “I’ve never enjoyed anything with the word casserole in it ever before, but it’s basically sweet potatoes with this brown sugary crust,” she told InStyle. ”Oh my God, it’s amazing.” The media rushed to find the recipe, which Parade has published this Thanksgiving season . “Similar to T. Swift herself, we think this recipe is a mastermind, especially if you’ve been asked to bring the sweet potato side dish to this year’s Thanksgiving feast. It seriously begs the question: who needs pumpkin pie?” the magazine writes. Ingredients •4 lbs sweet potatoes •1⁄3 cup oats •12 oz unsalted butter, divided •1⁄2 cup packed brown sugar •1⁄2 cup toasted pecans •1⁄2 cup granulated sugar •1 tsp kosher salt •2 tsp vanilla extract •4 large eggs, beaten Directions Preheat oven to 375°F. 1. Scrub sweet potatoes. Pierce each several times with a fork and wrap tightly in foil. Place on a sheet pan. Bake 90 minutes or until tender. Set aside until cool enough to handle. 2. Meanwhile, place oats in a food processor; process 1 minute. Add 4 oz butter, brown sugar and pecans; pulse five times to combine. Spread mixture on a baking sheet; bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven, crumble. Bake 5 minutes or until golden brown. 3. Melt remaining 8 oz butter. Remove skin from cooled sweet potatoes. In a large bowl, whisk sweet potatoes, melted butter, granulated sugar and remaining ingredients until slightly lumpy. Transfer to a greased baking dish, smoothing surface evenly. Top with oat mixture. Bake 12 minutes or until heated through. Make-ahead tips •Sweet potato filling can be made up to 2 days in advance.
