If ever you feel stressed out about politics, finances, parenting, work, a relationship, or just life in general, come back to this tweet...just listen and relax. Let the call of a loon take you to the wilderness, away from it all.

@jillmarieheck Maya and Peyton were awesome. My producer noticed 10 minutes into the show that he had their names reversed. He's fixing it now for future broadcasts and on-demand.

A black bear injured 4 in northern Japan, including a woman with moderate injuries, before fleeing the area. Dramatic video shows the bear chasing a man, knocking him to the ground, and running off. The animal remained on the loose as of Tuesday afternoon.

The @SUNY Board of Trustees has named @DMezaSoufleris as the 8th president of @Brockport. I look forward to meeting Dawn; hearing of her vision for the big world of Brockport; and seeing what's next for students, educators, staff, volunteers, and alumni.

I am always intrigued by this willow tree that's a little offshore in Lake Ontario at Golden Hill State Park. Its incredible root system maintains its own little island on which the tree survives. It's a good lesson: Your roots will help you through stormy seas #Nature365

Hey @bobconfer…this kid is a hoot!

[Bob Confer @bobconfer]

It's awesome how hot this has become in its first season. Its quality is made evident by some recent repeat purchases...

One consumer bought one, then after setting up his bench he bought 8 more!

Another loved it so much, he went back and bought the other two colors!
