Jacob and Sophia are America’s most popular baby names for 2011. This is the thirteenth year in a row Jacob tops our list for boys and the first year for Sophia, who knocks Isabella to number two after a two-year stint at the top of our list for girls. There is only one new name in the top 10 on either list this year. Mason rocketed to number two from outside of the top ten to replace Anthony on the boys’ side.
District Judge Randall Rehmeier deferred sentencing Monday for a Unadilla farmer convicted of animal neglect that led to the death of hundreds of pigs and goats.
The judge said John Maahs, 61, had a life history of caring for animals, but then allowed the livestock in his care to die from dehydration and starvation.
Rather than passing sentence Monday, the judge ordered an additional evaluation by the Nebraska Department of Corrections comparing Maah's behavior to animal hoarding.
