In an unusual emergency call, a mom of four young children dialed 911 last week, saying she had run out of options. "I went to local churches and everything, trying to find food for my children," she told the dispatcher. "My kids have not eaten since yesterday." "This is for police only," the dispatcher said.

Guest Opinion: Dr. Tim Ball Recently I spoke at the Freedom Force Conference in Phoenix on Climate Change.

The norm for all who work outside in Iraq, this time of year, is to be hot, hot and very hot – no one could really blame another for panting from the heat.
