  • Secretary of State Clinton gave an interview yesterday to Venezuela’s Globovision, speaking mainly about Honduras and other topics.

  • The White House announces that former Congressional candidate and Miami-Dade Democratic Party chair Joe Garcia is going to the Department of Energy.

  • Orioles announcer Gary Thorne writes in the Bangor Daily News about Cuban pitcher Aroldis Chapman and Oriole Danys Baez, in whose footsteps he is following.
