...Thank you, Klein, for calling on senators John McCain and Obama to campaign together and debate in the style of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas. Both Senators are men of integrity, so please let's not make this about trashing each other's character. Everyone knows what the critical issues are. This election is about how the problems of our day will be solved, and it is going to take cooperation between the parties to solve them. Let's learn about the candidates' different philosophies and vote on that basis. Then Congress can approach solutions from the President...
...video's opening scene, a man in red pants, a baggy white t-shirt and a diamond stud in his left ear - similar to Kelly's - sits in a wood-paneled room that resembles a space that detectives photographed in the home Kelly once owned in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. Then, the man sticks his penis into the female's mouth and offers dialogue that seems taken straight from a porn movie. Jurors who'd taken meticulous notes throughout the day suddenly stopped.

In a breakthrough announced in March, Clean Seas claimed a world first by collecting fertilized eggs from breeding stock - about 20 tuna weighing 160 kg apiece and kept in a giant indoor tank. Sleek, dark shapes with a line of tiny bright-yellow fins down their back, they circle endlessly, apparently convinced they have traveled far to the north, to their spawning grounds. It may be fall outside, with...
...Stehr remembers hard days in the 1980s, when the quotas and low prices threatened to wipe out local Port Lincoln operators. Then the tuna men had the brilliant idea of netting their quota of just over 5,000 tons, towing it slowly into the port, and holding it there in pens to be fattened on pilchards and anchovies for a few months. Profits surged as the weight of the average fish doubled to over 32 kg, and links were forged with the lucrative Japanese sashimi trade...
