Gorgeous U.S. National Parks Quarters Coin Collection
I just came across this U.S. National Parks Quarters Coin Collection online (while surfing around trying to calm down after UK's mammoth win over Mississippi State to win the SEC Tournament Championship - SWEET!).

It’s a Girl! The Newest Member of the Louisville Zoo’s Family
It’s a girl! The first baby gorilla born in North America this year was at the Louisville Zoo. The adorable bouncing baby is a girl. She was born February 6, 2010, to Louisville Zoo’s 20-year-old western lowland gorilla Mia Moja. While the baby continues to cling tightly to mom nearly all the time, ZooKeepers have been able to get several close looks to determine and verify the baby is a girl. A naming contest for the baby is being planned and I'll post more about the contest when I get more information. Below is an excerpt from the Louisville Zoo's press release: “I’m excited, either ...
