Jerusalem cops had better be stocking up on Maalox, because the city?s historic Temple Mount is shaping up as a flashpoint of, well, biblical proportions. Three right-wing Jewish militants were arrested Thursday after distributing leaflets urging Jews to expel Muslims from the hill, which is also home to Islam?s third holiest site, the Al Aqsa Mosque. The Jewish extremists ? who want the Islamic sites razed in order to rebuild the Jewish temple destroyed by the Romans in A.D. 70 in the belief that it will hasten the Messianic era ? were egged on by a handful of American...
...Goddess's music is a cross between a poetry slam and a hip-hop concert. Her soulful sound is reminiscent of Erykah Badu's and Lauryn Hill's and yet never derivative.

...were a dozen cameras and reporters dogging his every step. If you followed these sometimes frightening prognosticators, you might have been turned from an investor to a trader, spooking out of high-quality stocks because you feared a Fed action that in another era wouldn't have meant a hill of beans to you. Some of these know-it-alls had you believing that the stock market was the Fed's enemy...
