...same time, she is maneuvering for position as the race for 2012 warms up. Palin is making time to help a roster of Republican candidates between now and November. She laughs off the notion that rough language might incite further acts of aggression against Democrats; instead, she's put crosshair markings on her Facebook page to identify lawmakers she has targeted for defeat in the fall election. Quippy and tart, she mocks the "lamestream media" for distracting voters by distorting GOP positions. And by carefully controlling her own visibility, she has become more irresistible as cable-news and viral content...
Stumping in the Southwest over the weekend, Palin proved that she is one heck of a Sun Belt candidate. Within the conservative movement, she still has unmatched appeal. Joining McCain on the trail for the first time since the end of their unsuccessful 2008 campaign, Palin delivered the goods for the 73-year-old Senator, who is struggling to win his party's nomination for a fifth term. She earnestly and at times poignantly argued that McCain is a true Tea Party conservative. She said the movement is short on battle-tested, experienced veterans in Congress to take the fight...
Meanwhile, Reid, whose poll numbers suggest his time in the Senate could be ending soon, was hardly cowed by the loathers swamping his hometown.

The total of 714 documented judicial killings outside China--a low estimate, Amnesty says--includes 52 in the U.S. The anti-death-penalty group also reported that for the first time since it started keeping track some 30 years ago, there were no executions in Europe...
...called it the highlight of their career. On March 30, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider smashed together two proton beams. Each was moving with an energy equivalent to 3.5 trillion electron volts, for a combined 7 trillion--a new world-record energy level. The victory was a long time coming for CERN, Europe's nuclear-research group, which for 15 years has pumped $10 billion into the setback-plagued project. The experiments are expected to reveal much about the nature of the universe, including other dimensions, dark matter and the Higgs boson, the particle that could explain how energy...
