Invest Smartly in the Latest and 'The Greatest Show on Earth'
That'll set the stage for a correction that may include some lackluster earnings reports from stock market superstars like General Electric (GE), Google (GOOG) and Goldman Sachs (GS).
Are you ready to "buy the dips" in these kinds of companies or the ETFs that represent the sectors each is a part of?
Between the political deadlock (or, call it "gridlock" if a temporary solution is announced before the markets open Monday morning), the debt-ceiling quandary and earnings reports from a whole host of big companies the week of Oct. 14, the opportunities should be multifaceted!
Although I avoid predicting how a "circus" will conclude, I'll venture a guess that if we had seen a D.C. deal over the weekend, (there's the trick) the market will continue its current 2-day uptrend and return to near all-time highs.
If that doesn't happen in the next few miracle minutes, I agree with one analyst who said, "Otherwise we'll probably fall back to 1,650, possibly further, depending on how rancorous the disagreement is." This is a win-win scenario for us. Unless you're totally unexposed to the stock market, if it keeps skyrocketing higher, we'll see many of the stocks we own getting as high as a tight-rope walker underneath the big-top's ceiling. Yet, if we're about to see that "fall back to 1,650," we'll have a chance to buy some great names we should have already owned such as Johnson & Johnson (JNJ - Get Report), Intel (INTC) and Pepsico (PEP - Get Report). Johnson & Johnson and Intel step into the earnings "ring" on Tuesday; Johnson & Johnson before the market opens and Intel after it closes. Pepsico will "strut its stuff" on Wednesday before the market opens. If you missed the chance to buy some Pepsico last Tuesday at $78.86 (9.4% below its 52-week high of $87.06) you may have another chance to do so and lock in a dividend yield-to-price of 2.88%. I'm not suggesting the share price may not fall farther than $78.86, but it's a good price level to begin accumulating.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

There's another craft brewer launching into the beer-swilling Central Oregon market. Wildfire Brewing, the area's sixth brewer, has begun producing lagers and pale ales at a small brewery in north Bend and will be distributing them to restaurants around town. Brothers Chris and Jeremy Cox, who own local watering hole JC's Bar and Grill, and Paul Cook, a former Deschutes Brewery head brewer, are behind the venture. Chris Cox says Wildfire will produce about 750-1,000 barrels this year, testing as they go with JC's customers. By comparison, Deschutes Brewery produces about 145,000 barrels a year. "There are quite a few breweries in town — but we're looking to pull market share from the big domestics, which still own about 95% of the market," Cox says. |

Australia will take on South Africa in the triangular series final at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday. But unfortunately they are facing injury woes ahead of the final against the Proteas.
Australian fast bowler Kane Richardson may miss out playing in the finals of the Zimbabwe Triangular Series 2014 due to injury. Australia will play South Africa in the finals on September 6 at Harare.
"I've always had things like this as a kid and it's one of those things if the physio gives you the all clear you go for it. I'll leave it in his hands, it's not really up to me. They'll see how it pulls up and make a decision.", Richardson told cricket.com.au.
Richardson has played just four One-Day Internationals (ODIs) for Australia and the Zimbabwe Triangular Series was an opportunity for him to prove his mettle. Off-spinner Nathan Lyon also did not turp for the practice session as his knee was giving him troubles.

Sathyu Sarangi, founder of the Bhopal Group for Information and Action and a founding trustee of a free clinic for the treatment of all those affected by the gas leak.
A group of 400 survivors of the Bhopal disaster have been protesting Obama's visit to India. The 1984 Bhopal industrial gas disaster left an estimated 15,000 people dead. The company, Union Carbide, is now a subsidiary of Dow Chemical. Dow has faced calls to clean up the contaminated site, increase compensation for victims, and fund studies to assess damages to the environment and public health. India has also demanded the extradition of former Union Carbide CEO Warren Anderson, who fled India shortly after his arrest in the disaster's aftermath. [includes rush transcript]
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
ANJALI KAMAT: Vijay Prashad, you mentioned the demand for the extradition of David Headley. There's also been demands for the extradition of Warren Anderson. And today, actually, there's been a group of 400 survivors from the 1984 Bhopal tragedy who have been protesting Obama's visit to India. They're outside the Parliament.
Last year, we interviewed Sathyu Sarangi. He's the founder of the Bhopal Group for Information and Action and a founding trustee of a free clinic for all the treatment — for the treatment of all those affected by the gas leak. We asked him to describe what happened in Bhopal.
SATHYU SARANGI: On the night of 2nd by 3rd December, 1984, over 27 tons of toxic gas leaked from this pesticide factory that was situated right next to where more than 200,000 people, poor people, lived. And this was a factory owned, designed and operated by Union Carbide Corporation USA. And during routine operations, water entered the tank, and because the safety systems were cut down or were very badly designed, and because the entire plant was under-designed, the water reacted with methyl isocyanate, which was stored in very high quantities, and there was a reaction, which then became a runaway reaction so that there was no control. And as it is, safety systems were under-designed, they were also malfunctioning or under repair. And this gas leaked, and like a 30-feet-high cloud, it covered about the entire city of all Bhopal, more than half a million people.
And there was no warning system in the factory. There was no one — no one from the factory was telling people to run in the opposite direction of the wind and not in the direction of the wind, as they did, and no one to tell them that they could actually protect themselves from the deadly impact of the gas by just holding a wet cloth over their nose and mouth. So the people got to know, only after they were surrounded by this cloud from all around, and they started running. And when they ran, as they ran, they inhaled more and more of this poisonous gas that sheared their lungs. And there was so much secretion of body fluids in their lungs that actually many people died, because they drowned in their own body fluids. And then there were lots and lots of people who died because of the effect on the brain. Women were aborting as they ran.
And it was the next — by the next morning, there were thousands of people dead. Within the first three days, between eight and ten thousand people died. And then in the subsequent years, more people died because of the damage that was caused to almost every organ in the body, because the poisons that people inhaled, they went into the bloodstream through their lungs.
ANJALI KAMAT: Well, that was Sathyu Sarangi speaking to us when he was in the United States last year. Right now, he's just come out from a protest outside the Parliament. He's in New Delhi. We go to him live.
Sathyu, what are you calling for? Sathyu, can you hear me?
SATHYU SARANGI: Yeah, I can hear you now.
AMY GOODMAN: What are your demands? Why are you protesting President Obama's visit?
SATHYU SARANGI: We were demanding positive action from President Obama on the continuing crimes of Union Carbide and Dow Chemical [inaudible] Bhopal. We wanted to tell him that it is his moral responsibility, as he promotes American business in India, to also ensure that American corporations abide by Indian law and Indian courts and to do something about Union Carbide's absconding for the last 18 years and for Dow Chemical refusing to clean up in Bhopal and refusing to accept the jurisdiction of Madhya Pradesh state high court for the last five years.
AMY GOODMAN: Sathyu Sarangi, we want to thank you for being with us, founder of the Bhopal Group for Information and Action, founding trustee of the free clinic for treatment of all those affected by the gas leak in Bhopal. And we want to also thank Vijay Prashad, professor at Trinity College in Connecticut of South Asian history and international studies.

Pairings: Top 8
Pairings for Top 8 are up.
Ben Leverett has a multitude of Dragon Duel titles under his belt, but this year he's moved on to the Main Event. He's looking at a great spot in the Top 32 if he wins the Match with his Burning Abyss Deck. He's up against Aaron Furman, another great player who consistently does well at major events, and is using Shaddolls today. This is the last round before the cut to Top 32 – the winner has a solid shot at making it into the top cut, while the loser will be out of the running.
It's Day 2 of YCS Anaheim! Here's your top Duelists as we begin.
Robert Palumbo used his Qliphort Deck, defeating Burning Abyss in the finals to win a GIANT Qliphort Scout!
Jonathan Nagel is one of our VIP players who has had quite a nice weekend thus far. Outside of not needing to pay for entry, receiving a static table, and two byes, he is now sitting at an 8-1 record looking pretty good to make Top 32. All he has to do is win one of his next two matches, and he will most likely make it in. Nagel is playing a Burning Abyss Deck with a bunch of awesome tech! Outside of cool choices like Dark Eruption, Forbidden Chalice, and Mind Crush all in his Main Deck, he uses Edge Imp Sabres for a bunch of sweet combos! The best being that anytime he has Mathematician and a Burning Abyss Monster, he can send the Sabres for Mathematician's effect and stack the Burning Abyss on top of his Deck to Special Summon the Sabres. He then overlays for Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss and can mill the Burning Abyss, pretty sweet.
His opponent is Charles Ramsey, the Satellarknight Duelist who had a Feature yesterday. He's looking to redeem himself in the Feature Match area after the loss from last time, so things are looking to get pretty exciting!
Ramsey won the roll and opted to go first.
We are at the end of Swiss Rounds on Day 2, here are the overall Standings.
Sheabi Kheireddine is not only the only Duelist from North America to claim a World Championship title, but is the current World Champion. So with that said, it's pretty obvious that Roberto Gomez isn't going to have the easiest time winning this match. Both Duelists are playing Burning Abyss, and sitting at 7-1 they are already a lock for Day Two, but the loser will have to win both matches tomorrow to make Top 32.
Gomez won the roll but told Sehabi to go first.

No matter what a smash hit Skyfall has proven to be, Sam Mendes is awfully clear about not making a return to Bond — in his main capacity. However, an interview with writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade — the duo responsible, in part, for every 007 adventure since 1999′s The World Is Not Enough — has opened up possibilities for Bond 24 (and the man's own stamp on it) a whole lot.
As Skyfall is their last time with the character, there was some (expected) talk of how the next installment is now out of their hands. Our former helmer might have some control over the creative process, for Wade was quoted as saying, simply-but-ambiguously, that "John Logan and Sam Mendes have come up with a plot for another one." This doesn't confirm or deny that we'll be getting some kind of connected story, or a standalone entry, as Daniel Craig claims. I still think it's the latter. [HeyUGuys]
Also unclear, this early out, is how much input the director could actually prove to have. While a delay in Skyfall's production allowed him to chime in on the screenplay, much of Mendes' own influence comes from the more formal side of things; with him unlikely to be helming, I don't know if we should have any hopes for that to be as prevalent. But, if he and Logan can bring to Bond 24 what made the last Bond such an exemplary piece of filmic entertainment in the first place, specifics hardly matter. In the meantime, indication is a sweet peek ahead.
Would Mendes' voice in the new Bond film make a difference for you?

Cryptomeria j., 'Sekkan'
Co-dominant leaders seem to be a common problem with this tree. The species doesn't seem to suffer the same problem,... at least in my experience.
Last winter an ice storm did significant damage to my garden, even to the natives. The ice just ripped apart this Cryptomeria j., 'Sekkan. I should have maintained a single leader, but never got around to it.
I think the problem is that it's planted in soil that's too good for it, causing unusually fast and lush growth. The soil has been liberally amended with horse stable manure and woodchips over a period of 25 years with a winter water table three feet down.
Here's a picture of another 'Sekkan' that's planted in a higher, drier, less fertile place, just a few yards away. Multiple leaders are not much of a problem with it. Both trees receive no supplemental water from me.
If you look closely you will see a larger than normal branch, going up, that needs to be removed. If I can get off the computer, I will do it today. ;-)
Can soil be too good for some conifers?
I think so.
As Ken says, "You can love a plant to death".
Lawson cypress such as 'Oregon Blue'. The biggest or one of the biggest 'Sekkan' I have seen is in the parking lot area at Heronswood. It seems to be becoming significantly less yellow with age, as yellow conifer cultivars often do.
'Sekkan' may be most at home in a sunny sheltered glade, where it can look quite lovely. Forking, bushiness and discoloration I associate with exposure, although now that you mention it it may be true that this one usually has more going on inside the canopy than seedlings and consistently single-trunked cultivars. The resulting density could be seen as a desirable feature, preferable to the gauntness often seen among Cryptomeria with the typical habit.
I haven't seen this one breaking up, but maybe a year is coming where there will be a lot of failures - same as with all the falling open of fastigiate arborvitaes, junipers and yews some winters.
Thanks BB. I still would like to plant a few of these things-blue-phase Lawson Cypress-up at my land just for fun. But all the pictures of the various cultivars show a plant with the exaggerated dense, conical growth form. I'm after something with more "normal" density associated with speices Chamaes, Thujas, etc. Not tight little cones. This one looks like it may have such a form.
+toM here is my 'Oregon Blue Weeping' - it has been in for about three years and was fairly decent-sized when I got it (a #15). The lawsonianas are reputed to do poorly here due to hot dry summers but so far so good. I have not pruned or shaped it in any way. Three years is not very long, however...I have had less success with 'Pelt's Blue'. My 'Sekkan Sugi' (is that the same as 'Sekkan'?) is growing about three times as fast as OBW, and has no structural defaults. I realize different genera but just for comparison.
Notes from Northern California, may not be applicable to where you are.
Here is a link that might be useful: Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Oregon Blue Weeping'
Somebody probably thought 'Oregon Blue' was a weeper, as in 'Oregon Blue' weeping Lawson cypress rather than 'Oregon Blue Weeping' Lawson cypress. Or some side-branches were grafted or rooted and put on the market as 'Oregon Blue Weeping', while these were still growing sideways, as branches - with a leader having been made later in the case of the one you ended up with.
Form and Foliage,
the Japanese name for Cryptomeria is Sugi, so this cultivar is actually just 'Sekkan.'
Mike, I always enjoy seeing your gardens, and especially your Cryptomeria. We've had a hot
Summer, and my 'Sekkan' grows in the "badlands" of my yard out back....little water, full sun.
I've noticed that some of the oldest, lowest growth is dying off. I still intend to put a
drip-line or soaker-hose around this planting, but haven't gotten to it yet, unfortunately. I
bet I could coax a little more growth out of it.
I'm curious - what's the tallest Sekkan Sugi anyone has ever seen? (not using '', because this just means yellow cedar in Japanese, apparently)
I'm guessing botann's was rather large but webshots has gone haywire. NCSU has one that's 36', can't be that old since JC brought all that kind of stuff in around the late 70s-mid 80s. This page amusingly says 10' for mature height, while showing an obviously contradictory picture:

Hey, David, in my area I've only seen young specimens.
The garden where I worked over the summer had a handful of 10-footers, which I was pleased to see.
As for the nomenclature, I'd thought this to be a proper cultivar, deserving of the single apostrophe
before and after - 'Sekkan'? If that's wrong, I'd like to know for my personal book-keeping.

Independence of the Seas Cruise Review by SPEIGHT: Canarian adventure

Canarian adventure
We sailed On Independance Of the seas on 9th May for a 10 day trip, calling at Madeira, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Vigo. We had done the 11 day trip previously the year the I.O.S Was launched, although that was in October.
Checking in was quick following our coach journey down from Lancashire. The sailing out of Southampton was fine for me, however for some the motion did unsettle them a touch. We had fog on our journey to the first Port of Madeira, and seeing folk sunbathing in Fog is a sight to behold. Especially as some managed to burn themselves! Consequently the fog delayed our arrival into Madeira by a few hours, although we did stop longer. Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote were enjoyable although the time spent in Lanzorote was very short. As the temp. was in the nineties and very low humidity, to depart at 2pm was a shame and seemed a very strange call by the company? At this port a family of four missed the departure, and we saw them stood by the port More
gates through our binoculars, watching the ship sail without them? Not sure why they were late back....such a shame? I believe another couple missed the boat in Madeira also? Food on-board was very very good, given the numbers they cater for.
A wide selection of things to do on-board, however showing films in the cinema room with only 60 seats seems a poor effort. Entertainment was very good and varied. Our favourites were the comedy acts. "Kevin" from Armenia was fantastic and deservedly got a standing ovation. The Gym is fantastic and large, so did not get very busy. We had a fantastic cruise all in all and would recommend the ship to others. Yes it is large, but it has something for all ages. My only gripe is the quality of the draught lagers, which were Heineken and Amstel light. Both were very poor quality and it was a case of spot the bubbles! Flat with no gas or head! Finally our stateroom was more than adequate and our Steward was lovely as always. Less

Oxymorphone, an opioid analgesic, is detectable for up to 24 hours with a blood test, from one to four days with a saliva test, from three to four days with a urine test and up to three months with a hair follicle test, according to About.com. These are estimated timetables.
Know MoreThe exact timetable for the complete metabolism of the drug varies according to body mass, age, hydration level, physical activity and overall health, as explained by About.com. Younger patients, those with faster metabolisms, and those who are in better health tend to break down oxymorphone better than those who have kidney or liver impairment, are sedentary, or are older.
Learn MoreOxycodone, one of the drugs in Percocet, can be detected in a blood test for approximately 24 hours after it is taken, according to About.com. The other drug in Percocet is acetaminophen, a less potent non-opioid found in over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol.
Full Answer >Detectable levels of temazepam, which is sold under the brand name Restoril, remain in a person's system for a few days to three months, according to About.com. The exact amount of time varies based on the kind of drug test being administered.
Full Answer >Lisinopril remains active in the body for 24 hours, states Drugs.com. The drug has a half-life of 12 hours, meaning that half of the dose is absorbed in the first 12 hours after it is taken. The drug is eliminated from the body in urine.
Full Answer >Ibuprofen is completely eliminated from the body in 24 hours after taking the final dose. Peak concentrations of the medication affect the body within 1 to 2 hours, according to National Center for Biotechnology Information.

Source: Adrian Gonzalez 'has wanted this for a long time' |
12.06.10 at 3:41 am ET |
According to a source close to newly acquired Red Sox slugger Adrian Gonzalez, the idea that the trade from the Padres to the Red Sox might fall through over money never seemed realistic. The reason why such a fear seemed unfounded was simple enough.
"He's wanted this for a really long time," said the source.
Gonzalez has been connected to the Red Sox in rumors for, literally, years. The appeal of his all-around package of offensive and defensive talents to the Sox was well-known. That, in turn, made the Red Sox a more appealing option to Gonzalez, as did his familiarity with team officials. Gonzalez was drafted first overall and signed by the Marlins when they were owned by current Sox owner John Henry, and David Finley, the area scout who tracked Gonzalez and recommended that he be taken with the first pick in 2000, is now a Red Sox Special Assistant to the GM.
The appeal of the Sox to Gonzalez goes further. For the first time in years, the 28-year-old will not have the Atlas-sized task of carrying a lineup. (Opponents have often chosen simply to pitch around the slugger, walking him 212 times in the last two years, third most — behind Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder — in the majors.) He will also be able to experience life in a ballpark other than Petco, whose capacious field tends to play like a relic from the days of Old Hoss Radbourn; in Fenway, the source believed, Gonzalez could "easily" become a perennial 40-home run hitter. (Gonzalez has achieved that milestone once before, in 2008.)
That being the case, it came as little surprise to the source that the deal got done after Gonzalez spent the weekend talking to Red Sox officials. The first baseman had heard rumors of other teams' interest — including the Cubs and White Sox — but Boston ultimately always seemed like the most sensible fit. While an extension has not been worked out, all sides are seemingly comfortable that one will be, likely after Opening Day.
Clearly, this was a deal that all parties — the Red Sox, Padres and Gonzalez — wanted. And now, all that remains is the unveiling at a Fenway Park press conference on Monday at 11 a.m.

TUCSON, Ariz. — A University of Arizona graduate spent more than six months requesting and analyzing campus bicycle-theft reports from 2006 to 2011 to create color-coded maps and a database showing which buildings on campus have the highest number of bike thefts and, using mathematical probabilities, where students are more likely to have their bikes stolen, according to the Arizona Daily Star.
The student's records also show which months have the highest number of thefts. For the full story, click here.
A UConn spokesperson defended the use of student drivers, saying they undergo at least 30 hours of training and must get a commercial driver's license.
Bryan Smith formerly worked at the Portage Area Regional Transportation Authority in Kent, Ohio. The agency is the public transportation provider for Portage County and Kent State University.
Vincent Orlando Davis, who had worked as a driver for Duke University Transit for about the past two years, was killed Dec. 22 in a crash near Duke's campus, when an 18-year-old man hit a Duke passenger van that Davis was driving.
The students will present their idea for the future of Sydney, Australia to a panel of judges in hopes of taking home a $3,000 first-place prize and the opportunity to intern at Walt Disney Imagineering – the creative design team behind those world-famous theme parks and attractions.
The program is funded by the Sonoma County general fund and will assist the Supervisors and Sonoma County Transit in determining the affect a free fare program has on ridership, traffic reduction near college campuses and community response to the program.

Sunny Day
Designers are banking that women's appetites for dresses remains strong for Fall 2008. Even if the economic climate isn't so sunny designers seem to believe bright day dresses will open their pocketbooks.
And while we think it makes more sense to buy mix and match clothing for maximum versatility in a downturn sometimes we all need something to help get us through a sunny day. Nicole Miller, Lacoste, Erin Fetherston, Yigal Azrouel, Diesel and Marc by Marc all have their own version of the warmly colored day dress this season.

From Gomorrah to Easy Money to the recent restoration of Wake In Fright, Martin Scorsese has often used the power of his name in order to lend some exposure to perhaps lesser known works. But rarely does he actually have a hand in filmmaking process of such features. While he's recently wrapped production on his financial drama The Wolf of Wall Street and preparing to edit it for a release later this year, Variety brings us news of another fall feature that will actually have his touch.
Scorsese has jumped aboard Luc Besson's latest film, the mob drama Malavita, to serve as executive producer. He was already serving as a creative consultant during the pre-production and shoot, but has now formally joined up and will work side by side with Besson during post-production and editing. The connection makes sense, as his longtime collaborator Robert De Niro leads the film, alongside his Age of Innocence star Michelle Pfeiffer, as well as a genre the helmer knows from head to toe.
Adapted from Tonino Benacquista's novel Badfellas (no relation to Scorsese and De Niro's 1990 hit), "the darkly comedic action film Malavita is the story of the Manzonis, a notorious mafia family who gets relocated to Normandy, France under the witness protection program. While they do their best to fit in, old habits die hard and they soon find themselves handling things the "family" way." Scorsese getting back to mob drama terroritory with De Niro as the lead? We'll be the first one in theaters when it lands on October 18th.
Are you more interested in Malavita now that Scorsese is on board?

Anxious: Premnath (left) and Nagaratnam (right) talking to relatives at their family home in Taman Bukit Pantai, Kuala Lumpur.
KUALA LUMPUR: The remains of Malaysian economist and former civil servant who was killed in a suicide attack last Friday in a restaurant in Kabul, Afghanistan, is expected to be arrive here this Friday morning.
As of last night, the family was still waiting for confirmation from Adam Smith International, the employer of the late Dr Gnanathurai Nagarajah, 66.
His brother Premnath Nagarajah said the family was initially told that it would be on either Wednesday or Thursday.
"A representative from the company told us that the remains are expected to arrive on Friday morning but we are still waiting for the confirmation. We really want to know when.
"The waiting game is the worst part. We do not really know what is happening," he told The Star at the family residence in Taman Bukit Pantai here yesterday.
Premnath said family members were still in shock, adding that his mother, Nagaratnam, 88, was still unable to come to terms with Gnanathurai's death.
He said members of the family members who were living overseas, including Gnanathurai's two sons, two daughters and his three-year-old granddaughter had not yet arrived for his funeral, expected to be at the Kampung Tunku crematorium on Saturday.
He said other family members and relatives had gathered at the family residence.
Premnath also confirmed that Wisma Putra had not contacted the family on the matter.
"None of our family members have heard from the Foreign Ministry. We are not sure why officials were reportedly looking for my brother's next of kin. He was a former civil servant, they know where we live," he added.
Gnanathurai was among 21 people who died after militants opened fire on diners at the Taverna du Liban restaurant at close range, according to a statement by Adam Smith International on Sunday.
Gnanathurai was working as the Budget Policy and Reform Adviser of the London-based body to help reform the national budget process for Afghanistan.
It was reported that a militant detonated his suicide vest at the fortified entrance of the restaurant after which two others stormed inside and opened fire.
Among the dead were two British citizens, two Canadians, a senior International Monetary Fund (IMF) representative from Lebanon and the restaurant's Lebanese owner.
Wisma Putra in a statement said it received confirmation that a Malaysian was killed in the attack through the British High Commission in Kuala Lumpur, as the British Embassy in Kabul holds consular responsibility for unrepresented Commonwealth nationals in Afghanistan.

As Purim approaches, thousands of Israeli children and families grapple with poverty
The Cabinet on Sunday appointed a committee to evaluate the possibility of purchasing a plane for the flights of the Prime Minister and President instead of the current procedure of using chartered planes.
The panel will also come up a recommendation on whether a new office-residence should be built for the Prime Minister, whose official residence near downtown Jerusalem is more than a mile away from his office in the Knesset quarter.
Finance Minister Yair Lapid said he opposes a both ideas.
"This is a national security need that will serve the State of Israel at least for several decades," said Cabinet Secretary Avichai Mandelbli. "Moreover, today the Prime Minister's plane lacks proper communications equipment, which the head of state for almost every advanced country has."

Hair Loss
Hair Loss (Definition)
Alopecia is the loss of hair. Hair loss can be caused by different reasons, including damage to the hair shaft or follicles. Fungal infections can also cause hair loss. There are two main types of alopecia. Alopecia areata occurs when the body's immune system attacks hair follicles and causes hair to fall out. Androgenetic alopecia, on the other hand, is an inherited form of hair loss. With alopecia areata, hair can fall out in patches all over the body. With androgenetic alopecia, hair on the head thins and falls out. In men, this is called male pattern hair loss; in women, it is called female diffuse hair loss. About 60% of people with androgenetic alopecia are men. Hair loss caused by androgenetic alopecia is permanent.

As of last year, more children were being killed in driveway accidents in New Zealand than by the domestic violence that so shames our society.
In other words, more kids died from benign, loving people committing even momentary lapses, rather than from raging, monstrously out-of-control adults.
Not only have we been fatally running over or into five of our children each year but, much less conspicuously, one child a fortnight has been rushed to hospital with injuries. Typically, serious ones.
In December, a $30 million Government initiative to confront the deaths and damages on our driveways was starting to get traction. About half of that money is being spent fencing off play areas from the driveways of state houses - a clear problem area.
Meanwhile, perhaps with more affluent households in mind, car manufacturers have been proclaiming the benefits of reversing cameras and sensors.
And good old Plunket has been imploring people to be careful reversing.
Look at us now. It's still March and an 18-month old girl has just died after a driveway accident in Auckland. Earlier this month, Wallacetown boy Brodie Molloy died.
Brodie's case was not entirely typical, in that he was 7, but that itself serve as a reminder that although the most dangerous ages are between 18 months and 3 years, the perils extend well past the scuttlings of the very young.
This isn't a problem in which there's widespread interest in fingerpointing. Even the authorities tend to sigh heavily.
In January, coroner Wallace Bain, reporting on the death of 16-month-old Taupo boy Tyrese Hill, in a Rotorua driveway made no criticism of the driver but instead said the need for more public education and awareness strategies regarding driveway safety needed to be made clear to decision-makers.
Mr Bain acknowledged it was beyond the scope of the court's findings to make recommendations on vehicle and driveway design, but that "these are matters that clearly need to be examined" to better protect young children.
For their part, the police in that case found driver error was the primary cause of death but they, too, stilled their hand. They did not believe there was enough evidence to support a legal charge of careless driving causing death. The tyke had been missing for just a few moments.
In several countries, authorities are considering making reversing cameras mandatory. New American research has concluded cameras are the most effective technology to prevent reversing collisions, though they are still far from failsafe.
In February, safety activist Jo McLoughlin was promoting a thoroughly low-tech approach. Just a mat, placed somewhere the reversing driver could see it.
The rule would be that the driver would reverse only when he or she could see the child or children, safely accounted for, on the mat.
Look, superior driving aids, driveway layout and household practices (like nixing using driveways as kiddies' play areas) will all potentially save lives. But parental vigilance still trumps it all.
Not just alert driving but, even more crucially, knowing where the kids are - not where they ought to be or shouldn't be, but actually bloody well are - remains the single best achievable prevention technique.

Ukraine's move Friday toward attempting to sell nearly 50 percent in its gas pipeline system to EU and U.S. investors does not mean that Western buyers will rush to take up the offer, as the system's value depends on a steady supply of Russian gas, energy analysts told The St. Petersburg Times.
Amid the current standoff with Russia over unpaid bills for gas imports, Ukraine's parliament passed a bill in its first reading Friday that envisages the creation of a Ukrainian gas transportation operator of which European and U.S. investors could own up to 49 percent.
The move appeared to be Ukraine's attempt to retain control of the revenues that transporting Russian gas to Europe brings, just as Russian state energy giant Gazprom moves towards construction of the planned South Stream pipeline, which will bypass Ukraine on its way to Europe.
Russia supplies about a third of Europe's total gas requirements via pipelines running through Ukrainian territory, and has coveted control of the transport system for the last two decades. Kiev has rejected attempts by Russia — Ukraine's main gas supplier — to take control of the transport system amid a series of acrimonious gas wars that have seen Russia's Gazprom turn off shipments to Ukraine several times in the past few years over unpaid bills.
Battling South Stream
The bill excludes Russia from ownership in the system by only accepting as shareholders companies owned and controlled by residents of the EU, U.S. or European Energy Community, of which Ukraine is a member but Russia is not. The company must also belong to the European Network of Transmission System Operators of Gas. The same conditions apply for operators of Ukraine's subterranean natural gas storage facilities.
Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told parliament Friday that the energy situation in Ukraine is "critical" and "part of a war that Russia has rolled out against Ukraine."
"Russia is trying to tighten as many screws as possible on us," he said, according to the Ukrainian government's website.
