An Unlikely Ally Comes to Netanyahu's Defense: Liberal Comic Bill Maher
Two victories this week for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, one seismic, the other minor though not insignificant. First, he won a solid re-election victory that affirmed his dire warning of the peril from a nuclear-armed Iran. Secondly, he persuaded an influential American liberal that his campaign warning that Israel's Arab citizens might swing the election against him was not a despicable, race-baiting tactic as alleged by other liberals.

New rule requires fracking disclosure
The Obama administration said Friday it is requiring companies that drill for oil and natural gas on federal lands to disclose chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, the first major federal regulation of the controversial drilling technique that has sparked an ongoing boom in natural gas production but raised widespread concerns about possible groundwater contamination.

Sky-gazers looked up in awe Friday as the moon blocked the sun in a total solar eclipse that momentarily darkened a slice of northern Europe.

With only about two-dozen twisters recorded so far this year during a period when 100 or more are typical, the U.S. appears to be in a tornado drought as cool, stable air prevents the ingredients of the violent storms from coming together, meteorologists said Friday. No tornadoes have been reported so far in March, when tornado season often begins ramping up for parts of the country. The last time the U.S. had no twisters in March was nearly 50 years ago, according to figures from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma.

White continued to swing the machete as she approached, so she fired three rounds, striking him in the face, chest and leg. A TSA agent also was struck in the arm by a bullet. White was still alive and in surgery at a hospital,

Terrorist message appears on winery website
The Latah Creek Winery website was briefly caught up in the war on terrorism Friday after it was hacked to show a pro-Islamic State message.

The site was fixed by 5:30 p.m.

In brief: FIFA, World Cup bring in record $2 billion in revenue
The World Cup’s commercial power led to record revenue of $2 billion for FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association; English: International Federation of Association Football) last year, with $337 million in profits coming from the four-year cycle leading up to the 2014 soccer tournament in Brazil. FIFA, which pocketed $140.7 million in profit in 2014 alone, added $91 million to its reserves, which now stand at $1.523 billion. The revenue of $2.096 billion in 2014 raised the four-year total to $5.718 billion. Income should keep rising before the 2018 World Cup in Russia despite FIFA’s reputation being battered by corruption and vote-buying allegations.

Spokane teenager makes ‘Shark Tank’ pitch for pet project
Spokane entrepreneur Brooke Martin didn’t get a bite from any of the “Shark Tank” investors when she made a pitch to them last year, but she’s just fine with that. “It was so intense,” Martin said of her experience on the ABC show, which aired Friday night. “I think you can learn so much more from failure, so to speak, than success.” The 15-year-old invented the iCPooch, a dog treat dispensing device that can be controlled by a smartphone app, for an eighth-grade school project. A phone or tablet also can be mounted on the device so animal owners can see and speak to their pets when they are not home.
‘Freedom Rider’ tells of ’60s push for civil rights in South
Max Pavesic wasn’t sure what awaited him as the train rolled into the station in Jackson, Mississippi. During the summer of 1961, Pavesic was a 21-year-old college student and one of 436 “Freedom Riders” – activists committed to ending segregation on public transit in the South. He was part of a group of 15 blacks and whites who had boarded the train together in New Orleans, in defiance of local segregation laws. They knew they’d be arrested in Jackson and possibly beaten. They expected an angry mob and police with dogs. The retired Boise State University archaeology professor shared his story Friday afternoon during a talk at the Human Rights Education Institute in Coeur d’Alene. He encouraged audience members to continue to work for racial equality.
