Such findings on climate change make such a policy more vital and urgent.http://news.yahoo.com/8-steps-us-energy-security-131701525.htmlWed, 15 Aug 2012 09:17:01 -0400Christian Science Monitor8-steps-us-energy-security-131701525Storms Bring Cooler Weather To DFWhttp://dfw.cbslocal.com/video/7614962-garry-seiths-630-am-weather-report/Wed, 15 Aug 2012 08:30:16 -0400video/7614962-garry-seiths-630-am-weather-report/Jon Stewart Chews Out Papa John's<p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/jon-stewart-chews-papa-johns-115228290.html"><img src="http://l3.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/j.JL5gkq9OVW24xrUL2P4Q--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTg2O3E9ODU7dz0xMzA-/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/theatlanticwire/Jon_Stewart_Chews_Out_Papa-8c64dc0c6ab488a8c160b54cea81723a" width="130" height="86" alt="Jon Stewart Chews Out Papa John's" align="left" title="Jon Stewart Chews Out Papa John's" border="0" /></a>Is paying extra for pizza worth the rising healthcare costs?
