Boy stabs brother over TV
A 12-year-old boy stabbed his 13-year-old brother during a fight over what to watch on TV, seriously hurting him, police said. The older brother was in extremely critical condition, authorities said. The two had been fighting when the younger boy allegedly went to the kitchen, returned with a 12cm knife and stabbed his brother in the abdomen, Phoenix Police Lieutenant Rob Howe said. Their father heard them fighting over the TV, Phoenix Police Sergeant Joel Tranter said. The boys' seven-year-old sister was in a different room at the time of the stabbing.

Dolphin has three mothers
A two-month old dolphin calf at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland, is being nursed by three females, the aquarium said. While it is known that female bottlenose dolphins can spontaneously produce milk if a calf is present, the practice is not well documented and aquarium staff are carefully watching the process. The unnamed calf was born to a dolphin named Jade, who is being helped in her nursing duties by the mother-daughter team of Chesapeake and Shiloh, the aquarium said in a statement issued Tuesday to announce the birth. Aquarium officials are compiling a list of possible names for the calf, which appears to be thriving.
