The reason the mangrove is showing up at Cumberland Island is a lack of winter freezes that normally cull its growth and limit it to the Amelia Island area, Assistant Professor Scott Jones said.

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States?

Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.
