...Russia, which is making it difficult for the U.N. Security Council to meet 21st century collective-security challenges. Putin has used the Kosovo standoff as yet another excuse to flaunt his petro-powered invincibility, sending his likely successor, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev, to Belgrade to sign a gas agreement. If a firm international response is to be mobilized toward Iran, Sudan or other trouble spots in the coming years, the U.S. will have to find a way to persuade Russia to become a partner rather than a rival in improving collective security...

The scientists studied the composition of the star and found that it matched that of LMC stars--a sign that it's indeed an immigrant.

Clinton urges Hillary supporters to sign up to attend the precinct caucuses held after the primary vote on Mar. 4. "We are going to have food, music and fun," Clinton tells the crowd, urging them to vote twice - once in the primary and again in the evening caucuses, perfectly legal in Texas where 126 delegates will be allotted based on the vote, 67 on the caucus...
