Americans cannot cover the entire $85 billion in federal budget cuts this 
year known as sequester, but theyre pulling together to make up the 
losses for important matters like helping local economies and salvaging 
federal programs that serve needy children.When the Navy decided to deal 
with sequester by pulling its popular Blue Angels fighter jet team from 
air shows and other events, organizers of Seattles annual Seafair festival 
dug into their general fund to pay for a replacement  the 
Patriots Jet Team.Seafair President Beth Knox said the Blue Angels had performed 
at the festival over the past four decades so spending $80,000 was 
important to the community and worth the money."We've had to look outside 
the box and find ways that we can fill the gaps where 
our government is not able to provide those services," she told Fox 
News.In addition to hiring the California-based group of retired fighter 
pilots, festival organizers also are bringing in a ship from the Canadian 
Navy to replace a U.S. warship that wont be coming to this

of our military, that doesn't change, even if the government has to 
cut back on its spending," Knox added.In Wyoming, two cities stepped up

For people seeking an energy boost, companies are increasing their offerings 
of foods with added caffeine. A new caffeinated gum may have gone

The agency made the announcement just as Wrigley was rolling out Alert 
Energy Gum, a new product that includes as much caffeine as a 
half a cup of coffee in one piece and promises "the right 
energy, right now."Michael Taylor, FDA's deputy commissioner of foods, indicated 
that the proliferation of new foods with caffeine added -- especially the 
gum, which he equates to "four cups of coffee in your pocket" 
-- may even prompt the FDA to look closer at the way 
all food ingredients are regulated.The agency is already investigating the 
safety of energy drinks and energy shots, prompted by consumer reports of 
illness and death.Taylor said Monday that the only time FDA explicitly approved 
the added use of caffeine in a food or drink was in 
the 1950s for colas. The current proliferation of caffeine added to foods 
is "beyond anything FDA envisioned," Taylor said."It is disturbing," Taylor 
told The Associated Press. "We're concerned about whether they have been 
adequately evaluated."Caffeine has the regulatory classification of "generally 
recognized as safe," or GRAS, which means manufacturers can add it to 
products and then determine on their own whether th
