...moment, it seemed like the age of the ubiquitous tuna roll were about to end. When both the U.S. and the European Union announced earlier this month that they would support adding the Atlantic bluefin tuna to the United Nation's list of endangered species, it looked as if a majority of countries might agree to prohibit international trade of the fish. But at Thursday's meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in Doha, Qatar, member states voted 72 to 43 against such...
...challenge from the right. Bill Johnson, a former naval officer and Tea Party candidate who has poured his life savings - more than $200,000 - into his bid, sees opportunity too. "Grayson's the moderate, establishment candidate, and Paul's got a lot of support from his father's list," Johnson says. "I am the true Tea Party candidate."

That produced a huge backlash, which prompted a record number of women to run for Congress...
...Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, after publicly announcing the substance of a 42-min. dressing down of Netanyahu by phone, reportedly sent the Prime Minister a list of steps Washington expected him to take in order to repair relations. Those steps are said to include investigating the Jerusalem settlement announcement; reversing the construction approval; making substantial gestures toward the Palestinians such as releasing a large number of Palestinian prisoners, withdrawing troops from additional areas in the West Bank or easing the siege of Gaza; and publicly declaring Israel's intent to negotiate with the Palestinians on all of the conflict...
