ad aloud the lyrics to Carney. Jay-Z and Beyonce are both
Obama supporters."It's a song," Carney said. "The president's not communicating
with Jay-Z over this trip."Several Florida lawmakers had lashed out at the
couple, and the administration, over the trip. U.S. law bans tourism by
Americans to Cuba, though there are exceptions for certain cultural trips.Sen.
Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said in a statement earlier this week: "U.S. law
clearly bans tourism to Cuba by American citizens because it provides money
to a cruel, repressive and murderous regime. Since their inception, the
Obama Administration's 'people to people' cultural exchange programs have
been abused by tourists who have no interest in the Cuban people's
freedom and either don't realize or don't care that they're essentially
funding the regime's systematic trampling of people's human rights."The
Treasury Department clarified in a letter earlier this week that the couple
traveled to Cuba under an "education exchange trip" organized by another
group. The department said it handles authorizing these trips.

swings would
be too jarring -- but an increasing number are accepting it for
payment. Gallippi's company, BitPay, handles Bitcoin transactions for some
4,500 companies, taking payments in bitcoins and forwarding the cash equivalent
to the vendor involved, which means that his clients are insulated from
the cybercurrency's volatility.Gallippi said many of the businesses are
e-commerce websites, but he said an increasing number of traditional retailers
were looking to get into the game as well."We just had an
auto dealership in Kansas City apply," he said.In March, BitPay said its
vendors had done a record $5.2 million in bitcoin sales -- well
ahead of the $1.2 million's worth of monthly revenue estimated to have
coursed through Silk Road last year.Even artists accept bitcoins. Tehran-based
music producer Mohammad Rafigh said the currency had allowed him to sell
his albums "all over the world and not only in Iran."Gallippi said
the cybercurrency's ease of access was its biggest selling point.With Bitcoin,
"I can access my money from any computing device at any time
and do whatever the heck I want with it," he said. "Once
you move your money into the cloud why would you ever go
back to putting your money in the bank?"Many Wall Street veterans are
skeptical -- and they may feel vindicated after Bitcoin's latest tumble."Trading
tulips in real time," is how longtime UBS stockbroker Art Cashin described
Bitcoin's vertiginous rise, comparing

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">ANKARA, Turkey The Turkish parliament has approved changes to anti-terrorism
laws to reduce the number of prosecutions for the non-violent expression
of opinions, but critics say the revisions don't go far enough.Turkey has
prosecuted hundreds of politicians, activists and journalists under its
broadly worded anti-terrorism laws, some for simply expressing opinions
or taking part in protests. The Paris-based Reporters Without Borders has
described the country as the "world's biggest prison for journalists."The
government-proposed changes, approved by a show of hands Thursday, narrow
the definition of what constitutes terrorist propaganda so that only people
who openly promote violence can be jailed. But other restrictions on freedom
of expression remain, and human rights advocates and opposition parties
say the effort is a missed chance for reform.
April 10, 2013: A North Korean soldier, center top, looks at the
southern side as South Korean soldiers stand guard at the border village
of Panmunjom, which has separated the two Koreas since the Korean War,
in Paju, north of Seoul, South Korea. The prospect of a North
Korean missile launch is "considerably high," South Korea's foreign minister
told lawmakers Wednesday as Pyongyang prepared to mark the April 15 birthday
of its founder, historically a time when it seeks to draw the
world's attention with dramatic displays of military power.APPYONGYANG,
North Korea North Korea delivered a fresh round of rhetoric Thursday
with claims it had "powerful striking means" on standby for a launch,
while Seoul and Washington speculated that the country is preparing to test
a medium-range missile during upcoming national celebrations.On the streets
of Pyongyang, meanwhile, North Koreans celebrated the anniversary of leader
Kim Jong Un's appointment to the country's top party post one
in a slew of titles collected a year ago in the months
after father Kim Jong Il's death.The Committee for the Peaceful Reunification
of the Fatherland, a nonmilitary agency that deals with relations with South
Korea, didn't elaborate on its warning of a strike. The statement is
the latest in a torrent of warlike threats seen outside Pyongyang as
an effort to raise fears and pressure Seoul and Washington into changing
their North Korea policy.Officials in Seoul and W
