The coal sector, which rallied following support from the presidential debates, could be running out of steam, the CNBC "Fast Money" pros said Tuesday.
OptionMonster.com's Jon Najarian said that discovery of natural gas in the Bakken shale and Marcellus shale regions has put pressure on coal and other fuels and would continue to do so regardless of who wins the presidential election.
Rallies roughly 11 percent in coal ETF KOL and 42 percent in Alpha Natural Resources marked the stocks since the debate.

Motley Crue Bassist Nikki Sixx Is Working on Two More Books
When Motley Crue came crawling out of L.A.'s underbelly 30 years ago, few fans could have expected that any of its hard-rocking (and harder-living) members would ever become a published author. But bassist Nikki Sixx has always had a thing for defying expectations, and now that he's already got two bestsellers under his belt ('The Heroin Diaries' and 'This Is Gonna Hurt'), he's making plans for his next books.
In fact, Sixx is working on two new literary projects, with an eye toward releasing one next year and the other in 2013. He isn't saying what they'll be about yet, but he promises they won't find him covering old ground.
"Neither book is like anything I have done before (I guess you can say the same thing about 'The Heroin Diaries' and 'This Is Gonna Hurt', too)," wrote Sixx on his Facebook wall. "I pride myself on not writing the same book over and over and also not using a ghost writer. Of course, it takes longer, but raw honesty through words is what I am driven to publish… After I get it all out on paper, I use a trusted editor to help me carve it into a palatable experience…"
Sixx's announcement comes a mere seven months after 'This Is Gonna Hurt' graced the New York Times bestseller list, and at the end of a generally busy year for the Crue. The band celebrated its 30th anniversary by touring with Poison and New York Dolls over the summer, and they're currently gearing up to head to the UK with Def Leppard and Steel Panther for a run of December dates. According to recent comments made by Crue frontman Vince Neil, the band's current tour should extend through November 2012.

'80s Era Moms on the Net Video Is Outdated and Ridiculous
Vintage Geek: Moms on the 'Net
It's pretty hard to believe that once upon a time, someone took this video seriously. It's a moving portrayal of "Moms on the 'Net," homemaking women whose lives have been changed by a little thing called the Internet.
It's hard picking a favorite part, but I'm saying it's the "Isn't that for techno-geeks with spreadsheets?" line. Although the guy who stops by at the end comes close. He's clearly an adult-film star, right? Hmm, I wonder what kind of action we missed out on at the 3:06 mark? Tee hee.

ABC News' Michael Falcone reports:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Think you've heard the last of Newt Gingrich? Think again.
The former House Speaker and unsuccessful presidential candidate sounds like he's back and, by the standing ovation he received at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting in Charlotte, better than ever.
In characteristic fashion he counseled his fellow Republicans on Thursday to be "cheerful and persistent" as they continue their period of post-election soul searching.
"We need to learn to be a happy party," he said. (It was Gingrich, who at a Republican primary debate last February, was asked to describe himself in one word. "Cheerful," he replied at the time.)
But Gingrich expressed no such cheer about the message Mitt Romney communicated during the presidential campaign, in particular the GOP nominee's hidden-camera comments that 47 percent of Americans would vote for Obama "no matter what" because they are people "who are dependent upon government."
"I am for 100 percent of the American people believing that they have a party that cares about their future," Gingrich said during the luncheon speech, adding that he wanted every Republican consultant to know this: "If you think you're going to target less than 100 percent you're not going to get any more business."
His remarks were equal parts scold session and pep talk.
He described the GOP as "a party on offense on every level except the presidency" and urged his fellow party leaders to "draw a contrast with the incompetence of Obama's reforms and the competence" of Republican governors and GOP state legislators around the country who are spearheading innovative ideas.
"Think of Newt as a guy who saw firsthand where the party went wrong in 2012 and is working to make sure it never happens again," a Gingrich aide told ABC News.
In his remarks to a ballroom full of Republicans two-and-a-half months since Romney's Nov. 6 loss, Gingrich acknowledged that he was "as wrong election night as anybody else," recalling that his first indication Obama was poised to win re-election was during a conference call hosted by GOP pollster Frank Luntz at about 5: 30 p.m. that night.
"I felt like a pilot whose radar had pointed him straight into a mountain," Gingrich said.
The former House Speaker said he would be working closing with the RNC and its chairman, Reince Priebus ("as closely with Reince as he can tolerate," he clarified) to help chart the party's course forward.
"I'm prepared to say bluntly what we need to do," Gingrich told several hundred GOP leaders from across the country, "and I'm prepared to pick fights with people that don't' want to do it."

Tuesday June 23, 2009
As Andy Murray prepares for his first Wimbledon match of the year, he seems to be taking no chances when it comes to bad luck. The 22-year-old's maternal grandmother has been banned from attending the game because she is considered something of a jinx for the tennis star.
Shirley Erskine, 73, last watched her talented grandson back in May when he played Juan Martin del Potro in the quarter finals of the Madrid Masters – a game he went on to lose.
"It was Andy's 22nd birthday and he was due to play at about 10pm, so I made a hasty booking and took Granny with me," the Glaswegian star's mum Judy explains. "This was the third successive year I've taken my mum over for Andy's birthday and he has lost each time."
"She is clearly a jinx and I'm not taking her again."
Shirley, however, has different ideas. "I fully intend to go to Wimbledon and if I could do anything to bring Andy good luck I would," said the defiant grandmother.

What car—for the money—delivers the best combination of power, handling, and braking? That question is fundamental to the ongoing mission of this magazine and the core element of all our road tests. We should also point out that those traits are the key ingredients of a car's fun-to-drive (FTD) quotient, something we value far more than cup holders and/or trunk volume.
But—and this is widely overlooked—the elements of FTD are also the key components of active safety, a vehicle's ability to respond to and avoid an accident situation. The lane-change exercise, part of our comparison-test regimen, provides insight to this ability, but Lightning Lap delivers an indelible blueprint. Unless you're a taxi driver in Baghdad, you might argue that no accident-avoidance situation goes on for three minutes, but of course our interest extends beyond dodging drivers whose text messaging overrides their attention to the road. We want to see how well a wide variety of performance cars combine their various dynamic elements in absolute terms in a controlled environment.
Controlled environment means racetrack, and for Lightning Lap that means the 4.2-mile Grand Course at Virginia International Raceway, near Danville, Virginia. This beautiful road circuit is an outstanding blend of fast chutes, blind-entry corners, and lots of changes in elevation, including a series of climbing esses that's one of the most challenging sections of racetrack in America.
We rank our finishers strictly on lap times, taking the best run achieved by each car during our two-day event. The cars are grouped by price, and there was some very fast traffic this year in the upper groups (LL3 and LL5; there were no cars in the LL4 price category). The four fastest all lapped VIR quicker than our previous absolute record of 2:58.2/82.7 mph. How much quicker? Read on. And let the games begin.

There are two additional color morphs. One is a pastel strain that is characterized by a light shell with varying amounts of red and yellow. The other is an albino strain that starts out bright yellow when the turtle is a juvenile and fades throughout its life.
Males tend to be smaller than females, and they have
longer tails. Both sexes have webbed feet and strong claws.
Red-eared Sliders need a 12 hour light/dark cycle, so all lights used should be put on a timer.
The quality of the water will be crucial to your Red-eared Slider's overall health, and we recommend using a water filter and changing 25% to 50% of the water weekly. Never put the aquarium in direct sunlight, as this will encourage algae growth, but put it in a room that does receive sunlight.
Create basking areas by using ramps, docks, soil, or gravel or by gluing corkbark, driftwood, or plexiglass to the side of the aquarium. A platform of stable, smooth rocks, driftwood, or slate can also make a good basking area. Gravel can be used in the bottom of the tank and should be sloped up to the basking areas for easy access. However, using substrates like gravel in the water area can make cleaning the habitat more difficult.
Because Red-eared Sliders are very messy eaters, we recommend moving them to separate eating areas outside their aquarium for their meals. After you put your Slider in the feeding area, allow it to feed for 15 minutes, then move it back to its aquarium.
On warm, sunny days, your Slider may enjoy going outside to swim and bask. Always have both land and water areas available for it, and monitor the situation carefully to prevent overheating.

Top 5 things to do near Be Mar Hostel
Be Mar Hostel is located in the Raval, at the heart of Barcelona's bohemian center. The Raval Quarter has changed a lot over the years. Today the district is a mix of the old and new, foreign and local, sophisticated and folkloric, and the modern and classic ways of life.
Raval has a lot to offer. The best way to discover it is by walking around its many intricate alleys and backstreets, or as they say in Barcelona, "ravaleando". Here we will explain the Top 5 things to do near our Be Mar Hostel in the Raval
so you can "ravalear" and discover this great neighborhood while here with us during your stay.
Visit El Gato Botero
El Gato Botero is a symbol of Barcelona and the Raval. Hanging out the bottom of the Rambla de Raval, this statue of a cat seems to have found its place after having spent no less than 15 years looking for a home . El Gato Botero always receives his visitors with a smile.
Skate @ MACBA
With a few different sized legdes, some drops, a nice 5 set and the newly renovated big 3 set in the back, this place has a lot to offer the skaters who come here from all over the world every year. That's the other great part of skating at the MACBA: the vibe. Granted the atmosphere can change from day to day, but resident an visiting skaters are generally friendly and in a good mood. Who wouldn't be while skating in Barcelona?
Walk around Port Vell
Port Vell is the waterfront harbour in Barcelona's center and forms part of the Port of Barcelona. It was built as part of an urban renewal program prior to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Before this, it was a run-down area made up of empty warehouses, railroad yards, and factories. All that has changed and 16 million people now visit the harbour each year.
Port Vell (the Old Port) is now a focal point of Barcelona and a major tourist attraction. Many shops and places of interest are located there. These include: Maremàgnum (a mall with shops, a multiplex cinema, bars and restaurants), IMAX Port Vell, and Europe's largest Aquarium– home to 8000 Fish and 11 sharks living in 22 basins filled with 6 million litres of sea water. A pedestrian walkway, la Rambla de Mar, connects Las Ramblas to Port Vell. This walkay is also a draw bridge, so that ships can enter and exit the harbour whenever they need.
Visit Boquería Marquet
Situated just a few paces off Barcelona´s most famous street, La Rambla, lies La Boqueria – a must-see for any visitor to the city. This world-renowned market (part of a strong market tradition in Barcelona) is a tourist attraction in its own right, thus illustrating the impact that it has on those who enter this sensorial paradise after walking through its Modernist-influenced entrance way. La Boqueria is an intense and beautiful experience. First-time visitors are immediately struck by the sights, sounds and smells that come out from the vast variety of stalls.
There are numerous fruit stands situated at the front of the market, which display an almost overwhelming palate of colours. Find more info about Barcelona Markets here.
Go Party to Apolo Club
The Apolo Club is one of the most legendary nightlife spots in Barcelona. Opening over 25 years ago, the club has come to be the local reference when looking to go out and dance. Whatever style of music was fashionable at the time, "El Apollo" has played it all. The club currently works both as a concert hall and dance club` with both ambients open simultaneously on any given night. With a capacity for 400 and 1100 people respectively, Apollo is host to some of the most interesting concerts scheduled in Barcelona. ( Apolo club is temporaly out of service, it will be opened soon )
These are just a few things you can enjoy near our Be Mar Hostel in Barcelona. With rooms starting at 20€ per person per night, the neighborhood has a lot to offer- and many things for free- starting with these 5 wonderful places!

Aung San Suu Kyi will visit Japan from 13 to 19 April, according to a Japanese statement released late Wednesday.
It will be her first visit to Japan in nearly three decades since her previous stay as a visiting researcher at the prestigious Kyoto University from 1985 to 1986, the foreign ministry said in the statement.
She is expected to visit Kyoto, to give speeches at universities, to meet Burmese nationals living in Japan and to hold talks with Japanese political leaders, including Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Her visit will come as Japan continues to court newly liberalised Burma as a trading partner.
Unlike many industrialised countries, Japan maintained trade ties and generous aid for Burma while it was ruled by a military junta, warning that taking a hardline could push it closer to China.
Tokyo has also gently pressed the country's leaders to listen to voices of those in opposition and the international community.
Since the end of military rule in 2011, Burma has made visible efforts to open up to the rest of the world and has lured international firms to start operations in the potentially lucrative market.
Japanese businesses in particular have been active in the country with strong backing from Tokyo, including the cancelation of 350 billion yen ($3.7 billion) of debt and numerous aid grants.

New Style Scents for Valentine's Day: Bubbles, Candy, Paint & Dryer Sheets
Oh, perfume! So luxurious, so seductive, so hard to pick out for someone else. This Valentine's Day, instead of gambling on a pricy bottle, perhaps you'd like to add some deliciously-scented fun and sexy silliness to the proceedings..
- Wode Paint by BOUDICCA is a blue spray paint (packaged in a stainless steel spray paint can, no less) that quickly disappears, leaving only fragrance behind. Inspired by the cobalt war paint worn by Queen Boudicca, I imagine Wode Paint would be fun to spray all over each other, or to scent linens & furnishings. Scary to spray paint your couch blue, but fun. (Am I the only one bothered by the fact that all of the promo photos make the model look like she's bleeding blue blood? Disturbing.)
- Merci New York featured the gorgeous Les Bulles d'Agathe made by master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. While they would be a lovely send-off for a newly-married couple, as suggested, why wait for a wedding? Host a little Valentine's Day Dinner party with beautifully-packaged bubbles as a parting gift for each guest. Or better yet, draw your Valentine a bath, place a glass of bubbly and a vial of bubbles on the edge of the bath, and look forward to your bathroom smelling divine.
- Years ago, PapaBubble collaborated with Commes des Garçons to create an edible fragrance, "The Taste of Commes des Garçons". As Bloesem described it, "It is a powder candy that matches the perfume. Can you imagine giving your date an actual taste of your perfume... talking about seduction techniques..." Sadly, this was a very limited edition product, but I hope the future brings us more tantalizingly edible perfumes.
- Deo Perfume Candy is a step in that direction, though with more of a drugstore-look than high-end perfume style. As New Hope reports, "Deo Perfume Candy contains geraniol, the main component in rose oil. Much like garlic, geraniol leaks through one's pores, delivering a perfuming effect. It's commonly used in many perfumes and is safe for consumption." What do you think? The packaging is certainly not Valentine-worthy..
- Finally, customizable perfumed dryer sheets! Don't get too excited, they don't exist yet. However, one Dennis Thomas has applied for a patent, so it's only a matter of time. I've never encountered a dryer sheet that came close to what I'd like to smell like, but if my clothes could smell like my fragrance of choice? Dreamy!
(Images as credited above, except for Deo Candy from Meets Obsession and dryer sheets from This Week For Dinner.)

Bruce Springsteen uk tour
Bruce Springsteen, June 15, Wembley stadium.
Also Glasgow Hamden Park June 18,
coventry Ricoh June 20
One of the best live artists I've ever seen. The guy does a stunning three hour set like it's a quick coffee before a meeting.
oh fuck
bought my mum and dad tickets for his gig in Sunderland this year because he didn't play Scotland. got really jealous. there's no way I won't be at that.
Playing Kings Hall, Belfast too
which according to Wikipedia has a capacity of just under 8000. Might be worth a trip.....
says Belfast is a 'fully standing outdoor event' - so not inside the hallbadmanreturns this'd this
London show is my birthday
my 30th birthday
I know, right
Glasgow is far closer to me but I can't not go to this one, can I...
easily gig of the year for me
4 hours in Madrid, amazing show!
This is great!
I missed him at Hyde Park this year due to a wedding.
Anyone any idea on prices for Wembley ????
seen £55+ fees quoted - but that looks a bit low for Wembley
Belfast says £79 on Ticketmaster. That looks more realistic.
O2 presale
on 5th Dec
I saw him three times this summer
And he was fantastic every time. Will definitely be at Wembley, and hopefully a few others as well. Might hit up some continental Bruce action. I've heard that Spain is the place to go - the Bruce fans there go wild apparently. No Spanish dates in evidence as yet...
Iron Maiden are doing a Maiden England set at Download on the same day as Wembley.
But taking into consideration what an utter ballache Download is, I might go and see The Boss instead. This'll be my first time seeing him as an actual fan.
Tickets have been got.
Lovely.marckee this'd this
So this is pretty soon and I'm getting very excited
Any idea of support?
Not sure who's supporting at Wembley. I was tempted for that as
it's near me. I have a ticket for his concert at the Olympic Park. I've The Black Crowes and Alabama Shakes. I hope you have a better line up.
I'd like someone obviously
But would take an even longer Boss set over that pair for sure. I'd just like to make a whole day of it.
There won't be any support. He's never had any for his own shows. You won't get a longer set at Wembley- always around the same length.
His headline set will probably be a bit longer than a festival set
Hard Rock Calling probably guarantee a 'full length' Boss set, but I suspect Wembley will get a few more songs than the Olympic Park.
I'm going to both, very excited. He's been doing some full album shows in Scandinavia - alternating between Born to Run, Darkness and Born in the USA, so my guess is he might do one of those at Wembley (possibly less likely at HRC, but might happen there as well).
The amazing thing about Springsteen
is that he plays different sets every night, and always pulls out something exciting. You could go to every night of his tour and I doubt you'd feel like you'd seen the same show twice.
Watch this amazing performance of 'Drive All Night' in Gothenburg.
It's a boring album track, but recontextualised here it is amazing.
In other words, I can't wait to see what he plays at Wembley! I keep hovering over tickets for HRC as well, but it's £70 and I like the fact that at Wembley the standing area can only be the size of a football pitch (and a good proportion of the 50,000 or so in there are guaranteed to be behind you), whereas in a park I can see scrum for space miles and miles back.

unsure as to whether to go to this
or the wrestling in bethnal green. i mean, jushin liger's gonna be there and i'm already going to the olympic park gig...i guess this is the wrong crowd to ask for impartial advice.
- spiritofjazz this'd this
So who is excited?
I hope the weather is good.
I have one ticket for Wembley Stadium to sell
my mate needs to send it over but I can deliver this to someone later in the week if they are keen?
lemme know
I've got two standing tickets for the Wembley show to sell
Face value. Let me know if you're interested.
So apparently he played 'Darkness' in it's entirety last night @ Wembley?
Absolutely gutted that I had to sell my tickets cause of work :(
Fingers crossed we get something special for Glasgow on tuesday
Yes he did.
Setlist here: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/bruce-springsteen/2013/wembley-stadium-london-england-3d9cd0b.html
It was just astonishing. How on earth the man and the band can be that practiced, and that experienced and yet still make every show feel spontaneous and unique, I'll never know.
Great performance
Thought the sound was poor early on, and I was seated in what should have been a good spot. Definitely improved by the end of Darkness and the last part of the set. Love the sign requests, first time seeing him and had no idea he did that (guess that helps make things seem spontaneous).
The sound was dreadful early on
I literally couldn't work out what song he was playing at the start (Land of Hope and Dreams) until well into it. It's to be expected at these stadium shows though - there's no way of getting it right in those acoustics, and both times I've seen Springsteen I think his sound team do as good a job as possible of making it sound okay.
Thought last night was a bit of a drop off from the Sunderland show last year. Still amazing, but whilst I tolerated some of the crap last time I thought that section with Shackled and Drawn, Waitin on a Sunny Day, Pay Me My Money Down etc. was pretty cringeworthy.
Now/, can someone please tell me whether to go to Olympic Park or not? I'm in two minds. On one hand, it's The Boss, and if I don't go I'll be sitting at home wishing I was there. On the other hand, I can see it being impossible to get near the stage, shorter set, terrible London festival sound and crowd. Are my concerns justified and do they outweigh the fact that it's Bruce Springsteen?
i normally hate people that say things like this
but its The Boss, innit. if you can afford it then do it.
It was bloody brilliant
Thanks again to SCROTUM for the ticket.
absolute shivers during Racing in the street
Thunder Road, Save my Love, queued up from 8 in the morning (some guys had apparently been there since as far back as Tuesday!) and got into the pit at the front. Was generally just amaze.

Bazemore Named CAA Player Of the Week
By ODU Athletics
Jan. 16, 2012
RICHMOND, VA-- ODU senior guard Kent Bazemore (Kelford, NC.) has been named CAA Player Of the Week. He averaged 21.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals in Old Dominion's 2-0 week.
Bazemore scored a career-high 27 points and tied a career-high with 12 rebounds in ODU's 68-66 overtime win at Delaware. He scored 9 of the Monarchs' 11 points in overtime and hit the game-tying free throws with 2 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. He also contributed 16 points and four assists in a 69-61 victory over Hofstra.
Bazemore leads the Monarchs in scoring at 14.6 points and ranks second in the CAA and 18th nationally in steals at 2.4 per game. He is also averaging 5.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.
Thus far, Bazemore has sent three games into overtime with the last shot in regulation. His trey against Richmond, his jumper in the lane at JMU and the two free throws at Delaware.
The Monarchs travel to Towson for a Wednesday night game at 7 p.m.

Blackhawks beat Wings in SO, clinch Central Division
Chicago, IL – Brandon Saad's goal in the fifth round of the shootout capped a late Chicago comeback that gave the Blackhawks a 3-2 triumph over the Detroit Red Wings as well as the Central Division title.
The win, coupled with St. Louis' loss at Columbus earlier in the evening, assured Chicago of a top-three seed in the upcoming Western Conference playoffs as the Central champ and also clinched a postseason berth for idle Anaheim, the current Pacific Division leader.
"I think we were looking at this game as a potential playoff matchup," said Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville. "That's the way this game felt tonight because they fought us tooth-and-nail the whole way."
Chicago trailed 2-1 before Jonathan Toews scored with 2:57 remaining in the third period, and Marian Hossa beat Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard in the third round of the shootout to keep the Blackhawks alive.
Viktor Stalberg also scored in Chicago's fourth straight victory, with Corey Crawford coming up with 27 saves in regulation and overtime prior to thwarting 4-of-5 Detroit skaters in the deciding phase.
Johan Franzen and Cory Emmerton each potted goals to help the Red Wings, who entered the contest holding the eighth and final playoff seed in the West, pick up an important point. Howard finished with 26 saves.
"The bottom line is over the last couple years every game's been a one-goal game except for the blowout they had in our building," said Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock. "They're finding a way to score more goals on more nights against us. They're a deeper team than we are, without any question about it."
Down by one with time running out, the Blackhawks frantically pressured the Detroit zone and were rewarded on Toews' goal with just under three minutes to go. A shot by Michael Frolik was turned away by Howard, but the Chicago captain was able to slide the rebound under the goaltender's pads to forge a 2-2 tie.
After the clubs combined for only one shot on goal in overtime, Henrik Zetterberg gave Detroit an early upper hand in the shootout by burying a backhander into the upper left corner in the second round.
Hossa was able to keep it ongoing, however, with a shot that went off the post and in on the next try, and Detroit's Damien Brunner subsequently missed high.
Following a scoreless fourth round, Saad opened the fifth by beating Howard top-shelf with a backhander before Crawford successfully blocked a try from Franzen.
Playing for the final time as division opponents in the regular season with Detroit shifting to the Eastern Conference next season, the two Original Six teams and longtime rivals battled to a scoreless first period before each picked up the offensive pace in the second.
Stalberg snapped the 0-0 tie by jamming home a centering feed from Duncan Keith from in close 6:11 into the frame, but the Red Wings answered with a pair of goals just under two minutes apart to move ahead.
With Detroit on a power play, Crawford blocked Zetterberg's one-timer but failed to cover the puck, with Franzen collecting the loose disc and putting in a wraparound try into an open left side 4:20 prior to the second intermission to knot the score.
Emmerton put Detroit in front with a second-effort goal in which the center fought off a check from Chicago's Michal Roszival, skated into the crease and poked his own rebound past Crawford with 2:21 left in the second.
Game Notes
The win gave Chicago a four-game sweep of the season series and was the Blackhawks' seventh straight overall against Detroit ... Franzen's goal was the first power-play tally surrendered by the Blackhawks in 12 games, with the club having gone 18-for-18 on the penalty kill over the first 11 ... Chicago now has a league-best 18 wins in one-goal games this season and are 18-3-4 in such situations ... Prior to the game, the Blackhawks announced the signing of 2013 Hobey Baker Award winner Drew LeBlanc to a one-year entry-level contract. LeBlanc, a forward from St. Cloud State, was named the NCAA's most outstanding player for the 2012-13 season earlier on Friday.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel's deputy minister of religious affairs, Eli Ben-Dahan (Jewish Home), reiterated in a video posted to YouTube this week that the Israeli government is working on new regulations that would finally permit Jews to pray at Judaism's holiest site, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
"I believe and expect that the prime minister and his government will adopt these regulations…and allow any Jew who wants to ascend the Temple Mount and pray there to do so," Ben-Dahan said in a video address to an emergency conference organized by the Liba Project for Jewish Freedom at the Temple Mount.
"The reality in which…only Jews are prohibited from praying on the Temple Mount makes no sense and is unreasonable," the minister continued. "I hope, with God's help, that we will succeed in changing this reality soon."
The conference was addressed in person by several other Israeli politicians, as well as by American Christian pastor Keith Johnson, who was recently ejected from the Temple Mount after the holy site's Muslim overlords became displeased by his fraternizing with local Jewish activists.
"I wasn't breaking their illegal rules against reading my Bible or praying," said Johnson in his own video message (see below). Johnson was removed from the Temple Mount because "I innocently greeted my friend Rabbi Yehuda Glick (director of Liba) and introduced him to the group I was leading."
Pastor Johnson challenged the Israeli authorities to stop cowing in the face of Muslim intimidation, and find a way to let Jews practice their religious freedom in all parts of the Land, most especially the Temple Mount.
Pastor Johnson's full address is an important one for Christians concerned by this issue:

Designer Interview: Mary and Topher from makelike
Posted by
Ali |
View all posts by Ali
1 Comment »
I'm really excited to share a bit of insight behind the creative minds involved with makelike. If I had to pick a new set of friends the Portland, Oregon based designers, Mary and Topher, would be at the top of my list. Why? Well, who wouldn't want to be friends with someone who collects Boy Scout camp coffee mugs, framed photos of St. Mary's Lake in Glacier National Park, vintage Brock dinnerware and photos of other people's pets? Not to mention they are majorly skilled artists and seem like really fun, interesting, witty people. Enjoy!
photo courtesy of Adrian Gaut
Great brand name…what does it mean and where did it come from?
Thanks! We were inspired by the mysteriously undocumented folklore behind "makelike" phrases (makelike a tree and leave, etc.), so we chose it as our name (thanks to our friend Bob) and hosted a dinner party where our friends helped us write our own makelike phrases. We've also found that due to our "West Coast dialects" we end up saying it inadvertently in sentences when concepting ideas (e.g. "We could make, like, a really awesome tea towel.")
Tell us about the process of starting makelike and how you got where you are today.
We got our official start in 2000…although we (Mary and Topher) had been working together at a Portland design firm called Johnson & Wolverton for several years prior. Our first job as makelike was a 200+ page spec magazine called MILK with CD Richard Christiansen (now Chandelier Creative, NYC), with whom we have collaborated with for the past ten years on various editorial (and other) jobs – including Suede and Radar (second iteration) magazines. We've always tried to incorporate pattern within all of our projects and our first intern (and now #3 man) Rob Halverson brought the hand-drawn stuff with him in 2000 from MCAD. Using self generated art successfully for our client's projects for so many years, we finally decided to do it for ourselves in 2009 with our product line. We all love cacti, so we started with that as our first collection's theme.
How would you describe your design style/philosophy? How has it evolved over the years?
We believe in making things that people want to keep – or better yet, cherish. What is the point of spending the time and resources to make something and then have it discarded or recycled? We try and make things with personality or soul – things you want to collect. For the product line, we've made things that we want to see in our own homes! A portion of our our time "designing" has evolved from something we do only for clients, to something we also do for ourselves. That's made it a lot more fun. Aesthetically, when you take a step back and look at our client work over the years, you'll probably notice that our style is diverse, flexible and capable of shape-shifting, but overall, we've stayed true to a consistent approach that ties everything together as a cohesive body of work – regardless of it's complexity or simplicity.
You guys sound like you can do just about anything, photography, printmaking, sewing, installation…any favorite mediums? Any type of art you've been itching to try?
Well yeah, I guess we can….We all went to art school and we all studied some design in school – but none of us majored in it. That gives us a wide variety of skill-sets and the ability to do anything. Plus we live in the middle of a creative hotbed (Portland, Oregon), where it's possible (and really easy) to remain curious, share and learn new things from the gifted people that surround you – every day! Go spirit of collaboration!
Your dream project?
Please share five things/people/places that inspire you.

Although he is in love with the cars of the 1930's and 1950's, there is one golden era after which he thinks car design and manufacture couldn't hold a candle to their predecessors.

TUSCALOOSA — Rodney Cooper had 20 points and 10 rebounds and Trevor Releford scored 17 to lift streaking Alabama to a 64-56 victory over Mississippi State on Wednesday night.
TUSCALOOSA — Rodney Cooper had 20 points and 10 rebounds and Trevor Releford scored 17 to lift streaking Alabama to a 64-56 victory over Mississippi State on Wednesday night.
The Crimson Tide (18-8, 10-3 Southeastern Conference) finished a lackluster second half strong to claim its fourth straight victory. Alabama also closed the gap on SEC-leading Florida (11-2) after the fifth-ranked Gators lost to Missouri Tuesday night.
The Bulldogs (7-18, 2-11) cut a 13-point second-half deficit to four points before losing their 11th consecutive game to match the 1982 team for the second-longest skid in program history.
Cooper was 7-of-10 shooting for his first career double-double and Releford had five assists and five steals. Alabama's Trevor Lacey had 11 points before fouling out.
Jalen Steele returned from a three-game suspension for violating team rules to fuel the comeback attempt and score 15 points. Colin Borchert had 14 points and nine rebounds for Mississippi State, which committed 23 turnovers.
Steele scored 10 points in the second half and made 3 of 6 3-pointers. The rest of the Bulldogs missed their first 14 3-point attempts before they combined to hit three in the final minute.
Alabama led 31-20 at halftime and scored the first two points of the second half but couldn't put the Bulldogs away until the final minutes.
Mississippi State shot 12 of 22 (54.5 percent) in the second half. Alabama hit 21 of 27 free throws in the game.
Steele pulled up for a quick 3-pointer to make it 47-43 with 5:20 left after Mississippi State's Gavin Ware made a basket and free throw two minutes earlier.
Cooper answered with a 3-pointer for the Tide's first field goal in more than five minutes. Then Retin Obasohan had a steal and long pass to Lacey for a layup to push the lead back to 52-43 with 4:04 remaining.
Steele hit a couple of free throws after Alabama failed to score, but Releford got a steal and fast-break layup and then finished another fast break with a pass to Cooper for a dunk to end the threat.
Even with Steele's return, the Bulldogs remained with only six scholarship players. Coach Rick Ray suspended forward Roquez Johnson indefinitely on Monday for violating team rules.

Indianapolis, IN - Secretary of State Todd Rokita announced his selection for Securities Commissioner today. Rokita appointed Deputy Attorney General James A. Joven to direct the Securities Division. Joven assumes his responsibilities on January 27, 2003.
Joven is an Indianapolis native and currently serves as Section Chief of the Tobacco Litigation Section for the Office of the Attorney General. Joven, who has ten years of experience, will bring to the Securities Division a strong legal background, after having worked on tobacco litigation and defending Indiana's no-call list. Joven's 21-member Securities Division staff consists of attorneys, investigators, and administrative staff. "During my campaign, I said I wanted to go after swindlers while still protecting honest businesses. My appointment of Jim Joven to this post is a step in that direction," stated Secretary Rokita.
Rokita will charge Joven with developing a working relationship with prosecutors throughout the state and with other organizations to aggressively pursue violators of Indiana securities laws. "I have already begun conversations with the Indiana Prosecuting Attorney's Council to ensure that the Division has stronger criminal enforcement while maximizing already scarce resources," stated Secretary Rokita. In addition, Joven will be the lead enforcer in the Division and will concentrate on investor education. "I will work to safeguard elderly Hoosiers against securities fraud," stated Joven.
Joven is a Wabash College graduate and earned his law degree from the Indiana University School of Law at Bloomington. Joven succeeds Bradley W. Skolnik, who held the post for the past eight years.
"Jim and the rest of the Securities Division will go after the bad apples and protect Hoosier investors," commented Secretary Rokita.

Car Deals
May Deals: Luxury SUVs
With an ever-increasing number of luxury SUVs available on the market, it can be difficult for shoppers to pick out the right one - let alone find the best deal. We've rounded up some of the top incentives available in May on a variety of upscale SUVs, providing an upper hand to buyers who are ready to pull the trigger after narrowing down their choices.
Buick Enclave
Buick is so intent on car shoppers experiencing its vehicles that the GM brand is doling out 24-month, zero-down leases with low monthly payments and a host of perks. Dubbed the "Buick Experience," the program includes two years of free maintenance, two years of free OnStar and two years of free SiriusXM satellite radio - a package that costs just $433 per month for Buick's large Enclave SUV. For SUV shoppers who would rather purchase an Enclave, Buick is also offering $1,500 cash back or zero percent interest rates for up to 60 months on the SUV, which will be facelifted later this year.
Cadillac Escalade
Cadillac's large Escalade exudes style, attitude and presence - and through the end of the month, it's available with several incentives that make it more attainable than ever. For buyers interested in financing an Escalade, Cadillac is offering interest rates as low as 0.9 percent for up to 36 months on nearly all models, from the standard-length Escalade to the stretched Escalade ESV - and even the distinctive Escalade EXT pickup. Looking for something smaller? Cadillac is offering the very same deal on its midsize SRX crossover, which includes much of the Escalade's flair in a more compact package.
Infiniti FX
SUV shoppers interested in Infiniti's uniquely styled FX can take advantage of several great deals throughout May. For shoppers looking to lease the SUV with nothing down, Infiniti is offering monthly payments starting at $619 for the base-level FX35 or $819 for the wild 390-horsepower, V8-powered FX50. But those rates fall dramatically with $4,299 down, as Infiniti is advertising 39-month lease payments as low as $499 for the FX35 or $699 for the FX50 following the substantial down payment. Buyers looking to finance their FX can also get a great deal, with Infiniti offering interest rates as low as 1.9 percent for up to 60 months on the sporty SUV, or just 2.9 percent for buyers looking to spread out their payments over 72 months.
Land Rover LR4
The go-anywhere styling and capabilities of Land Rover's upscale LR4 are slightly more reachable through the end of June thanks to two special offers from the luxury brand. According to Land Rover, car shoppers looking to lease a well-equipped LR4 can get the SUV with monthly payments from just $749 after $2,995 down - a good deal compared to competition from BMW, Mercedes and Audi. Buyers looking to finance the SUV instead will also find a deal, with Land Rover offering 1.9 percent interest for up to 36 months on the LR4 - and its entire model lineup - through the end of June.
Mercedes GL-Class
Car shoppers who can stomach a high down payment will find a great lease deal on Mercedes' largest SUV throughout May. According to the automaker, the 2012 GL450 is now available with an attractive 24-month lease term with monthly payments starting at just $649. The catch? Buyers must fork over a whopping $6,443 at lease signing - a large figure, but one that helps lock in the large GL450's monthly payment at midsize SUV levels for the next two years.
What it means to you: Although luxury SUVs may seem expensive, new special offers and incentives from automakers can help lessen the sticker shock.

At Crimson Lights, Avery and Dylan discuss Ian's ex-wife, Willa's visit. Dylan's afraid she might go looking for someone else who will pay for her information - like Nikki. Avery muses that he's grown to care about his mother. Avery leaves and Dylan leaves Nikki a message.
Y&R Recap: Misspent Youth.
Billy gets worked up over Adam, Nikki tells Dylan about her past, and Neil leaves with Hilary.
At Newman, Victor tells Nikki that Abby called to wish them a happy anniversary. She shows him a drawing from Faith that includes Dylan as part of her family. Victor gifts Nikki with an IOU for a trip to Europe. Nikki wonders what he's up to. Victor wants to see her happy. He says he's ready to accept Dylan as part of her family. She's thrilled.
At the Club, Neil tells Leslie he's headed to the airport. She asks if he's going away with a woman because of the flowered luggage beside him. He says it's not what she thinks, but Leslie sniffs that he's free to do as he likes and walks off. Hilary joins Neil and they go. After, Avery arrives to discuss Ian Ward's ex-wife with Leslie. She warns they could be working together and asks Leslie to keep Ian in check. Avery looks at Leslie's computer and is surprised to see she's using an online dating site. Leslie says Neil couldn't wait to move on. Avery reassures her; she'll find love again.
At the park, Billy takes the phone from Chelsea and asks, "Who the hell is this?" Whoever it is hangs up. Chelsea is upset. Billy warns her about hiding him. Chelsea says she wouldn't do that, but she has a feeling he's out there. She adds that the homeless man saw Adam crawl out of the car. Billy scoffs and asks how she even tracked him down. She says, "Victor." Billy orders her to call off this investigation. He insists there's no way he could have survived. Chelsea feels he's being mean. "I need answers." She asks if he'd ever stop searching for Victoria.
Nikki arrives at Crimson Lights after receiving Dylan's message. She tells him about Victor's acceptance and their anniversary. They chat and Dylan tells her that Willa showed up. Nikki says if she comes to her door she'll wish she hadn't. They talk about Nikki's wealth and how she used to be a stripper and a cult member. She offers to tell him about her misspent youth. He accepts. Her history is his too. Nikki tells him everything. She says she had no self-worth so gave him up for adoption. Dylan understands so much better now. He thanks her for giving him a good life.
On the plane, Hilary talks to Neil about the planned meetings in Los Angeles but he's distracted. He says Leslie assumed he was vacationing with another woman and he didn't exactly correct her. Neil opens up about how much he misses her - they were even planning to watch March Madness together. He challenges Hilary to join the basketball pool. Later, she gives him her picks based on team mascots. They work out a deal for the winner.
At the station, Paul tells Detective Harding that Chris is in Madison deposing Ian Ward. Harding says someone is there with information on Adam. It's the homeless guy. He tells Paul and Harding that he told Victor and Chelsea what he saw - Adam Newman's alive; there's no doubt about it. Later, Billy arrives and describes the scene with Chelsea in the park. He wonders if Adam really could be alive. Paul says it doesn't mean there's anything to it just because Victor's involved. After, Paul returns to the homeless guy who mentions a new detail - the bath. Adam got clean. Paul wonders to Harding if what Nick saw was wrong.
Chelsea enters Victor's office and says she got another call from Adam. He gets his people on tracing the call. She says Billy was there and didn't want her to look into it any further. Victor wants to know everything. Soon Billy arrives. They all bicker about whether Adam is dead. Victor accuses Billy of wanting them to stop looking so he can find Adam himself and finish the job he started. Billy warns Chelsea about Victor getting his hooks into Connor. Victor hollers that Billy is a drunk and a gambler. He orders him out. Chelsea asks Victor to find out about the phone call and leaves too. Victor calls someone to trace the phone calls Chelsea's received and also to look into how much Billy Abbott knows about Adam's death.

Update 11:50 a.m.
Lightning strikes caused power outages at the Applegate and Provolt Pacific Power substations this morning, cutting off power to 4,060 customers.
The outages were originally reported at 9:34 a.m. Power crews completed repairs on the Applegate substation at 11:20 a.m., dropping that number 1,405. That number is still in effect, with customers along Highway 238, the Williams Highway, and Watergap, Kincaid and Cedar Flat roads still without electricity.
Another strike caused an outage for 978 customers between O'Brien and Cave Junction. Pacific Power officials said all customers should be restored by 2 p.m.
Update 11:25 a.m.
Six additional lightning-sparked fires ignited on U.S. Forest Service lands overnight into this morning, with one east of Applegate Lake reaching 20 acres.
That blaze is being called the Iron Knob fire and is being fought by a 20-person crew. Aerial drops are on hold because of stormy weather conditions.
Additional strikes were reported in the Cascades and Siskiyous, sparking fires of varying sizes between one and six acres, U.S. Forest Service officials reported.
"They're still an issue," said Bob Gale, spokesman for the Rogue-Siskiyou National Forest.
9:45 a.m.
Nearly 20 lightning strikes were reported around Jackson County early this morning, one of them igniting a grass fire outside Butte Falls that grew to one-tenth of an acre before being extinguished, fire and weather officials said.
No additional lightning-sparked blazes have been reported at the Big Windy Fire Complex, adding to the good news for fire crews as they progressed to 30 percent containment.
"It was a good day yesterday," said Howard Hunter, public information officer at the Big Windy, a lightning-sparked fire burning 25 miles northwest of Grants Pass since July 26. "We've dodged a bullet so far."
Fire officials said crews made significant progress on the western containment line and that work will continue near Howard Creek today. The steep terrain will make for difficult work.
"There's no walking out from there. We have to raft out," Hunter said. "It's a tricky place."
More than 22,500 acres have burned at the Big Windy. The date of full containment has been pushed back to Sept. 7, six days later than the original Sept. 1 estimate.
Oregon Department of Forestry officials said they are prepared for additional lightning-caused fires throughout the day, beefing up their response force with a bulldozer and five additional engines.
"We're supposed to get lightning throughout the day," said Caitlin Goins, ODF spokeswoman.
Some northern California communities, including Alturas, have seen between one-half and three-fourths of an inch of rain in the past 24 hours, but no significant accumulations had been documented by 8 a.m. for Jackson County, despite some morning rains. Thunderstorm activity and precipitation are expected to continue through the day into the late afternoon hours.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif.– UC Santa Barbara kept the first half close, but Cal Poly ran away with the game in the second to finish with the 88-70 win in front of a rowdy home crowd.
The Gauchos' record drops to 5-9 after losing their sixth straight to Cal Poly, and they start conference play at 0-1. The Mustangs improve to 2-0 in its Big West schedule and are 8-7 overall.
Destini Mason led UCSB with a career-high 24 points and six rebounds. She was followed by Melissa Zornig and Nicole Nesbit who scored 18 and 11, respectively.
Trailing 25-16 with 8:49 left in the first half, the Gauchos put themselves within two after firing off seven unanswered points. Zornig started the run when she caught fire from three-point land, making 3-3 of her downtown looks at that point. She and Mason led UCSB with identical 4-5 shooting performances from long range.
With the team on the doorstep of tying the game at 25, Elegado responded with a three-pointer of her own to put the Mustangs back up by five.
Continuing with the momentum, Cal Poly regained a double digit lead at 36-26 with 4:13 remaining in the half. However, the Gauchos again fought their way back into contention with an 8-0 run.
Mason bookended the run with three pointers, while Mi'Chael Wright added two points on a visit to the free throw line.
Despite UCSB's effort to keep the score tight going into halftime, Elegado made the most out of the last few seconds of the first by hitting a three-pointer as time expired, giving Cal Poly the 46-39 lead.
In the first half, the Gauchos drained 6-9 shots from three-point range to remain competitive. However, the Mustang defense did not let them see the same looks in the second and held UCSB to 3-7 at the three-point line.
Playing the game as a true center, Schlemer led the game with 15 rebounds, which helped in the Mustangs outscoring UCSB in the paint 46-16.
UCSB will next take on Long Beach State in its first road game of the Big West season next Thursday at 7 p.m. An audio broadcast will be featured online at UCSBgauchos.com.

Congressman Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico's Third District and co-chair of the Congressional Technology Caucus highlighted the Department of Energy's response to President Barack Obama's Executive Order on accelerating technology transfer and the commercialization of federal research in support of high-growth businesses.
In October of 2011, Obama directed the heads of executive departments and agencies with research laboratories to increase the rate of technology transfer from laboratories to the commercial marketplace and to accelerate the economic impact from federal research and development investments.
In response to the president's memo, Luján sent a letter to Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu recommending actions for DOE to consider when addressing the president's directive.
"Our national labs across the country, including Los Alamos and Sandia, are making important strides in a number of key sectors from health care to clean energy," Luján said. "Helping local businesses move these innovations from the laboratory to the marketplace will spur economic development that creates jobs in our communities. I am encouraged that Secretary Chu's response to President Obama's call to encourage technology transfer includes a number of recommendations that I highlighted with the Secretary that can help increase our economic competitiveness."
Luján's recommendations that were included in DOE's plan are:
• Including technology transfer and commercialization metrics as part of each DOE laboratory's yearly performance evaluation plan in order to communicate performance expectations.
• Including laboratory employees' technology transfer activities in their performance and promotion evaluations to incentivize and reward employees for prioritizing such activities.
• Fostering local and regional partnerships that can multiply the technology transfer and commercialization activities associated with a given laboratory.
These recommendations were aimed at accomplishing the three main components of the President's directive:
• Streamlining and accelerating the process for licensing laboratory technologies and for establishing private-public research partnerships known as Cooperative Research and Development Agreements.
• Enhancing local and regional partnerships by participating in regional technology innovation clusters, locating applied research and business support programs — such as incubators and research parks — on or near federal laboratories, and expanding commercialization activities in each laboratory's local region.
• Instituting more accountability by directing agencies to develop a five-year plan with concrete goals and metrics to measure progress, including keeping track of how many new commercial products and successful self-sustaining companies were created.
