Twin brothers from Bernie, Mo., Clinton and Coty Walker, are participating in NBC’s music show The Voice and were selected last week to be coached by Usher.

The twins started playing music when they were very young, starting by singing at church at the age of 4. Most of their life they have been playing gospel but started focusing on country about three years ago.

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service released a new recovery plan this week for the endangered pallid sturgeon.

The pallid sturgeon is a large bony fish whose range stretches from the southern Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers, up the Missouri River into the Dakotas and Montana. But numbers of this large, ancient bottom-feeder declined as the rivers were channelized. It was listed as an endangered species in 1990.

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s George Jordan said a revision was needed because the old plan was adopted in 1993.

It sounds like the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster. Villains in trench coats scheme ways to cause the most destruction and chaos. They settle on a food company, an easy target, and plan to lace the products with a chemical or pathogen. The hero finds out the plan with enough time to save the day.

Pope Francis will mark his first full year as the head of the Catholic Church next week, and he has remained extremely popular among American Catholics and many others around the world.

A recent poll taken by Pew Research Center says many people see future changes to come in the Catholic Church. The survey found that over 71% of American Catholics approve of the Pope and believe he has made major changes.
