AP 鈥?Along Florida s East Coast, threatened manatees are fed and offered supplies through an unprecedented program that tackles the recurring, pollution-related starvation crisis, wildlife officials said Wednesday.With winter approaching and water temperatures dropping, a program that feeds lettuce to the marine mammals at a warm-water power plant near Cape Canaveral enters its second year. Now is the time for things to start ramping back up, said Jon Wallace of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service during an online news conference. If we have a significant event this year, which we are hoping we won t have, we ll be ready for that.

The cat rescue s salvation is a brother at the Saint Norbert Abbey in Green Bay, Wisconsin, named Terry Lauerman. I ve always been a cat person. To me it s a blessing to be touched by creation, he said.A couple of years ago, the 76-year-old retired teacher started coming in to brush the cats. But his mission quickly evolved. Now on every visit, Terry settles into one of the many comfy couches there and falls asleep. But there s more to his naps than meets the eye. By dozing off so comfortably, Terry has actually done more for the cat rescue than any conscious volunteer ever could. It started when the rescue began posted posting pictures of Terry s catnaps and he went viral. Oh, God, pet and brush cats and fall asleep ndash; and I should be world famous for doing this he said. Terry Lauerman naps with cats at a pet sanctuary. Elizabeth Feldhausen World famous and a calendar guy. He even has his mug on a local coffee blend.

The confirmation of 77 nominees was a rare moment of bipartisanship for the Senate.Several ambassadorships positions were filled Wednesday evening, notably one in Yemen, where a Saudi-backed civil war has ravaged the country. The Senate also confirmed a new director of National Drug Control Policy, as well as a Census director for the 2020 Census.The upcoming Census has been a contentious issue for some Democrats, as Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross added a citizenship question. Critics argue this question would leave states with large undocumented populations undercounted -- possibly affecting representation in Congress. The citizenship question is being challenged in court. Most of the nominees confirmed Wednesday were for executive branch positions. Only a few judicial nominees were confirmed, as Democrats have opposed many of President Trump s nominations to the federal bench.

Bnxd USGS to Puerto Rico: Be ready for more earthquakes TAMPA, Fla. 鈥?The Tampa Bay Buccaneers begin their path to a Super Bowl repeat Sunday when they welcome in the Philadelphia Eagles for a Wild Card game to start the NFL playoffs.The Buccaneers path to the Super Bowl though will be a cold one if the Green Bay Packers keep winning. The Packers are the number one seed and have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. That means Tampa Bay may have to go to Green Bay in late January to earn a second-straight Super Bowl berth.But that s down the road, there s still plenty for the Bucs to do before that comes to fruition.The Bucs played the Eagles once this season in Week 6. Powered by Tom Brady, the Bucs were able to knock off Philly 28-22 that day. Brady threw for 297 yards and the Bucs sacked Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts twice in the game.But, the Bucs top pass catcher that day is no longer with the team, Antonio Brown. Plus, the Bucs rode a strong game that week from running back Leonard Fournette who has since been out since mid-December with a hamstring injury.Tampa Bay may be close to getting back to full strength as the playoffs begin and they ll need it against the Eagles. Philadelphia won s ix of their last eight games but was demolished by the Dallas Cowboys last Saturday, 51-26.By the way, the last time Tom Brady faced the Eagles in the playoffs...Philadelphia knocked off the Patriots to win the Super Bowl. Not that Brady needs any extra motivation.
