...Swiss authorities, acting on a tip from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), arrested engineer Friedrich Tinner and his sons Marco and Urs on the suspicion of helping to supply gas centrifuge parts for use in Libya's now abandoned nuclear weapons program. They allegedly acted between 2001 and 2003 through the trafficking ring operated by Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan's atom bomb. Khan, under house arrest in Pakistan, last week claimed he'd been coerced into his 2004 confession to helping Libya, North Korea and Iran with nuclear weapons...

Traditionally held in Adams LCR, the event recently moved to Cambridge Queen’s Head—a bigger venue...
Last week, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist called for a new vote. But Crist is a Republican and is making mischief for the Democrats. For one thing, he says he won't pay for a new vote. Indeed, other leading state Republicans including House Speaker Marco Rubio oppose efforts to include local election supervisors in any primary funded by the Democratic party. Like other G.O.P. leaders, Rubio is washing his hands and letting the Democrats battle it out. "If they can do it without the state being involved, fine." Rubio told TIME.
