Just for giggles, today is National Learn Your Name in Morse Code Day, according to the National Day Calendar. If that doesn't bring memories of the perennial ear worm "Western Union" by the Five Americans, nothing will. However, in the spirit of the day, you can hear your very own name (or anything else) in Morse Code here.

You're welcome.

1. Expect some sun today with a high of 42 degrees. The National Weather Service at Mt. Holly, NJ, also says we can expect a slight (20%) chance of rain and snow after 1 a.m.

2. Fisher-Price has again recalled its Rock ‘n Play Sleeper after more infants have died using it.

3. Route 611 north of Portland will remain closed for months following a rockslide.

4. The Upper Macungie Board of Supervisors has named a new chairman.
