		<description><![CDATA[With sadness of heart, I saw the news report today of 30 more American deaths of special operations military members whose helicopter was shot down. The Taliban is claiming victory for the attack. My thoughts turn to the &#8220;Home of the Brave&#8221; volunteer quilters who have already created and distributed more than 4,500 commemorative quilts [...]]]></description>

I was the youngest child and I would be the first to arrive home in the late afternoon while my parents were both at work in another city. Before digging in to &#8220;homework,&#8221; an idea that has probably disappeared now, along [...]]]></description>

Fox News has gone out of its way to interview those who can provide a tidbit or two of new information, in the hope of creating insight. Interviews have included Jared Lee Loughner&#8217;s math professor who feared him; relatives of the [...]]]></description>

According to the website that features photos of this item, of the 14 men who signed the flag, only four survived [...]]]></description>

An old Haitian man was interviewed. He practices voodoo, as do many others in the country. He said that he cannot understand what the [...]]]></description>

Tonight&#8217;s page online offered images on 27 slides that provide an idea of what is happening. That page now appears to be updated. President Bush and [...]]]></description>

In thinking about his life and its importance to others, the fact that he was a &#8220;Dad&#8221; stands out above others. Anyone can be a &#8220;father,&#8221; but it takes a real man, with values and [...]]]></description>

She was the translator for an Afghan woman/ artist who visited New Hampshire a few years ago. I wrote about Hafiza Malikbaba and her embroideries (through Rubia) to raise money for cultural literacy programs for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other night, I sat in amazement, watching the evening news. Seems that a teacher &#8220;had allowed&#8221; her young student to name a teddy bear, &#8220;Muhammed,&#8221; the name of the &#8220;last&#8221; prophet. On the face of it, I suppose that the action was tantamount to calling the same teddy bear, &#8220;Jesus.&#8221; Most Christians would object [...]]]></description>

The devastation is total, and the United States, Canada, and Japan, have already stepped up to the plate to offer millions of dollars in aid.

		<description><![CDATA[At the present time, the Iraq problem is demanding the attention and resources of the American people and leaders. I prefer to call it a &#8220;problem,&#8221; rather than a war. Most certainly, it is the most unconventional war I have ever seen. After September 11, 2001, the American people, still mourning the loss of many [...]]]></description>
