Alabama’s Department of Public Health is once again warning the public about eating too much fish caught locally in Alabama’s rivers, streams and lakes.

“Fishing is a popular sport in Alabama, and provides many benefits, such as recreation and procurement of healthy food,” the department said in its annual fish advisory guide. “Unfortunately, certain toxic chemicals have been found in some lakes and rivers in Alabama. Some of these chemicals can accumulate in fish.”

Which Bible texts are in Texas’ proposed student reading list?

The new curriculum would have students as young as 6 interact with biblical stories titled “Noah’s Ark,” “David and Goliath” — meant to be read aloud from picture books — and “Daniel and the Lion’s Den” in their English classes. Daniel’s story is to be supplied by the Christian Broadcasting Network, a media company founded by televangelist Pat Robertson in the 1960s.
