South Tampa, Florida - It's a scary statistic for parents: Hillsborough County has the highest drowning rate for children under 4 years old.

But there is now a program to make sure not one more child drowns.

In six weeks, five days a week at just 10 minutes a time, your child can learn to float or swim.  It's called ISR self rescue lessons and parents we talked to say these lessons can mean the difference between life and death.

It's a restaurant name known around the world, but it got its start right here in Tampa Bay. Say "G'day!" to Outback Steakhouse.

Why do they call it Outback Steakhouse?

It wasn't cursed, but it was close. This building on Henderson Boulevard in South Tampa had been home to a series of restaurants.

A series of failures.

But Trudy Cooper and the three other people who decided to open the first Outback Steakhouse here in 1988 had it burned into their brains that their idea would work.

SOUTH TAMPA, Fla. -- Furry paws tap across a hardwood floor as tiny faces peer out from under a warm blanket at Katie Selman's house.

Selman fosters kittens, and currently houses more than 40 of them. About 60 more are staying at friends' houses until they get older.

"We're kind of like that bridge between death and life," Selman says.

She has a full-time job and five children, but feels passionate about constantly caring for kittens because they could be put to sleep if she doesn't.
