From the Director: U.S. House votes to claw back public media funding

The House has approved a proposal to eliminate $700 million in already-approved funding for public media. If enacted, it would strip essential services and could force rural stations off the air. The Senate will take up the bill next.

Lennon Scott was born on the same date as both of her parents

Lennon was born on the same day as both her mother and father, all born on Dec. 18. What are the odds of that? The Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children calculated them - 1 in 133,000. So keep an eye if that kid ever plays the lottery.
