It seems increasingly unlikely that Congress can get its act together in time to avoid a government shutdown this Saturday.

The National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., is sporting a new set of stained glass windows that portray a march for racial justice. They replace a scene that previously honored Confederate Gens. Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee.

Chef Andre Rush cooked up culinary delights for top military advisers and even the White House, but he's stepping out from behind the stove this month to support his fellow servicemembers and veterans who suffer from PTSD.

From TV’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in the 1960s and to the popular NCIS series 40 years later, David McCallum stayed busy on the small screen while appearing in several movies in between. McCallum died Monday of natural causes. He was 90.

After a long day you might look forward to a nice, warm bath, but there's still a time and place for an ice bath. After a good workout, a freezing dip can help your body recover. TBH: Our host Shannon LaNier may not have sold it so well, but watch the clip and try to listen to the explanation over his screams. (Thank you for your dedication, Shannon!)

Generations of children have moaned and groaned when their parents put Brussels sprouts on their plates, but no more! Now that we're grown, we know the right ways to cook them and now we're thrilled when we see them on the plate. Chef Eric LeVine took a few minutes to show us how to turn those little green bulbs into culinary delights.
