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.

signed by Satoshi Nakamoto -- likely a pseudonym -- and the coins
made their online debut in 2009. How the coins are created, how
the transactions are authenticated and how the whole system manages to power
forward with no central bank, no financial regulator and a user base
of wily hackers all comes down to computing power and savoir faire.Or,
as Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist for the ConvergEx Group, describes
it: "genius on so many levels."The linchpin of the system is a
network of "miners" -- high-end computer users who supply the Bitcoin network
with the processing power needed to maintain a transparent, running tally
of all transactions. The tally is one of the most important ways
in which the system prevents fraud, and the miners are rewarded for
supporting the system with an occasional helping of brand-new bitcoins.Those
bitcoins have become a dangerously hot commodity in the past few days.Rising
from roughly $13 at the beginning of the year, the price of
a single bitcoin blasted through the $100 barrier last week, according to
Mt. Gox, a site where users can swap bitcoins for more traditional
currencies.On Tuesday, the price of a single bitcoin had topped $200. On
Wednesday, it hit $266 before a flash crash dragged it back down
to just over $100. By Thursday, bitcoins were trading for around $150.The
rebel currency may seem unstable, but then so do some of its
more traditional counterparts. Some say Bitcoin got

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> HERZLIYA, Israel The head of the U.S. company leading natural gas
exploration off Israel's coast on Thursday urged the country to develop
a national gas export policy, warning that government tax policy was scaring
off potential investors.Charles Davidson, CEO of Texas-based Noble Energy,
criticized Israel's decision in 2011 to nearly double tax rates on gas
profits after his company had already invested $1 billion in an offshore
field. He said the "very unusual" move may have driven away companies
from investing in Israel's emerging gas sector.He said he sensed hesitation
from potential investors who could help develop the Leviathan field, a large
find that is expected to produce enough gas for export."I felt that
.. companies were a little bit reluctant because of what had happened
on taxes in the past," Davidson said at the company's local offices
in the coastal town of Herzliya.In 2011, Israel's government raised taxes
on gas and oil finds, boosting the revenues to between 52 and
62 percent from under 30 percent.Davidson is in Israel after gas from
Tamar, one of Israel's new, sizable fields, started being extracted last
month. He hopes to convince authorities to agree on an export policy
that would provide clarity for investors looking to develop the resource.
For now, the gas is being used for domestic use only and
sold at fixed, previously negotiated prices.On Wednesday, Davidson met Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
Some Texas applicants for welfare would be subjected to drug testing and
would be permanently cut off if they fail three times under a
bill passed Wednesday by the state Senate.The bill covers Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families program applicants. The program, which provides poor
people with money for food, clothing, housing and other basic needs, distributes
about $90 million to more than 100,000 Texans annually. The amount of
the payment depends on family size and income."Taxpayer money should not
be used to subsidize someone's drug habit," bill sponsor Sen. Jane Nelson,
R-Flower Mound, said before the bill sailed through on a 31-0 vote
that sent it to the House.The program already requires adult TANF applicants
to sign a pledge not to sell or use drugs. Nelson's bill
would move Texas in line with seven other states that require testing.
It would not cover other welfare programs such as food stamps or
other state benefit programs.Not all applicants would be tested, but all
would be required to undergo a screening assessment, likely a questionnaire,
to determine their risk of drug use. Anyone with a previous felony
drug conviction or failed drug test or who is otherwise deemed a
high risk for drug use would be tested.Applicants who test positive would
be barred from collecting benefits for 12 months. They could reapply in
six months if they complete a substance abuse program. Three failed drug
tests would result in a permanent ban
