Insightful literary extravagance and melodrama at a time when taking pride in ignorance and indifference seems to be the cultural norm. share: digg facebook twitter PSAGOT, West Bank (AP) — Perched atop a West Bank hill, the Binyamin region visitors center invites travelers to look past the military jeeps patrolling the surrounding area and enjoy nature, archaeological sites and bucolic vineyards. Proponents hope that drawing visitors will help increase support for retaining the territory, while critics say the tourism campaign, like Jewish settlements, is a foothold that stands in the way of making peace. The visitors center was established last August in response to an increase in visitors to the region and with hopes of drawing more, manager Yaela Briner said. [...] Briner said some 5,000 tourists have passed through, half of them Israelis. The Israeli government has also taken steps to promote tourism in the West Bank, offering to protect certain historical sites there and pledging to send schoolchildren on field trips to a disputed holy site in Hebron, one of the West Bank's most explosive flashpoints. Tourist infrastructure has expanded in order to accommodate those visitors, said Dror Etkes, an anti-settlement activist, pointing to a soon to be opened holistic healing retreat nestled between desert hills near the biblical town of Jericho. Israeli government spokesman ... As oil prices fluctuate, so do the opinions of what to do about shifting away from fossil fuels. Gas prices seem to be going up, and that has boosted the calls for investment in alternative energy projects. Unfortunately, there's no clearly superior technology that's poised to take over. But there are plenty of opinions being thrown around -- here are just a few. * Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to put huge solar power plants in the Mojave Desert to help reduce America's dependence on oil. But isn't there a nuclear battery in his chest (from a Skynet-dominated future...) that we can reverse engineer? [url] * Critics of wind and wave energy say that the environmental impact of these sources could be harmful -- if they were actually used to produce significant amounts of energy. Ah, the good old truckload of vegetables tactic arises, again. [url] * Bill Gates says nuclear power is the best energy solution -- and that other alternative energy technologies are merely cute. Bill Gates is right, though, nuclear power is definitely not cute. [url] * **To discover more stuff on alternative energy, check out what's ...

Filed under: Video, Exclusive, New Music Crash Avenue Cello-toting Kentucky lad Ben Sollee will ride his penny-farthing through the desert and beyond if he can just get 'Close to You.' The Louisville singer's newest record, 'Inclusions,' explores the connections between himself and his community, and the relationships that make up a town. 'Close to You' carries that point further with Sollee's love-weary voice and expressive ukulele chugging through the tune like a train. Directed by LC Crowley and filmed by School of Humans, the video for 'Close to You' was done in one take with the help of 80 volunteers to provide a constantly moving backdrop for Sollee and his high-wheel. The Francis Lawrence-directed music video is teased in a new trailer which shows the girls taking over the Mojave desert. Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara has won the Middle East's Leading Desert Resort Award for 2011 at the World Travel Awards held recently in Dubai. This is the sixth time in the past Prime minister drops Winner putdown and plumps for 'fair-dairy land' reference from Ernie (the Fastest Milkman in the West) There was Angela Eagle sitting on the Labour frontbench, as if waiting for another mildly condescending remark from David Cameron – "let it lie, pet, why don't you?" perhaps. But the prime minister used a pop culture reference even older than the one he used a week ago, when he quoted Michael Winner's "calm down, dear." He was replying to Kelvin Hopkins, a Luton Labour MP who had quoted predictions that half a million more people are going to lose their jobs in the public sector, and another half million in the private sector. Did the prime minister not realise that this would bring a collapse in the housing market, which in turn would lead to a collapse in the Tory vote, and the return of a Labour government? Would he now care to say goodbye to many of his colleagues? Mr Cameron said he had thought Mr Hopkins came from Luton. "But it sounds like he is from some fairy-dairy land!" Fairy-dairy land? What was he on about? But as I puzzled, a colleague reminded ... Filed under: Soul/R&B, R&B News, Soul/R&B Videos Columbia 'Run The World (Girls),' the first single from Beyonce's upcoming fourth album, made its debut on the charts last week and on Wednesday (May 4), a new preview for the song's video made its debut. The short, 20-second clip leaves much to be desired but gives fans a peek of Beyonce's brand of video girls -- you know, the type who run the world -- strutting their stuff in the desert. A snippet of the Diplo and Switch- produced track, which samples Major Lazer's 'Pon De Floor,' first leaked in mid-April, and premiered in full shortly after. The song debuted at No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts but fared better on the Digital Songs chart where it pulled in at No. 23. Footage of Beyonce filming the video also turned up online before the song leaked, but director Francis Lawrence declined to reveal any further details about the shoot, telling MTV, "She would probably have me shot if I said anything. ... Some stuff spilled out, but she wasn't happy about it, so I've been sworn to secrecy," Lawrence said, adding some positive words about the upcoming ...
