Diamond Mogul Receives Angry Valentine
JDate users scouring the Jewish dating Web site in anticipation of Valentine's Day may have found a surprising match. Lev Leviev, the controversial Israeli diamond mogul, had appeared to register a profile on the site, including such information as, “in my free time, I enjoy: Exploitation, Profiteering, Union-Busting, and Macrame." The JDate profile was one of several recent Valentine's Day-themed acts of protest directed at Leviev, who in reality is not looking for love online but is a married father of nine and an active member of the Chabad-Lubavitch sect of Orthodox Judaism. His detractors oppose his use of diamond mines in Angola and what they say is his extensive involvement in housing construction for Jewish settlers on the West Bank. “Because a great deal of jewelry shopping goes on during the weekend before Valentine's Day, we thought it was appropriate to reach out to Valentine's Day shoppers and encourage them to stay away from Leviev's shop," said Issa Mikel, a human rights activist who works with Adalah-NY, a coalition of organizations strongly critical of Israeli policy.
Niners land WR Bruce
Receiver Isaac Bruce agreed to a two-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers on Friday night, one day after the St. Louis Rams released one of the most prolific receivers in NFL history. An NFL source, speaking on condition of anonymity because the contract hadn't been signed yet, said Bruce chose to stay in the NFC West with the 49ers, bolstering one of the league's worst receiving corps after 14 seasons with the Rams. The deal is worth $6 million. Bruce will be reunited in San Francisco with 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Martz, who ran the Rams' offense during the team's two most recent trips to the Super Bowl. Bruce, who teamed with Torry Holt for several years of lofty statistics in Martz's wide-open offenses, is third in NFL history with 14,109 yards receiving, only behind former 49ers receiver Jerry Rice and Tim Brown.
Doug Clark getting patted down????
OK, first let me iterate that I am NOT blaming you guys for this, but I found it quite humorous and indicative of Spokane following the lead story on the website today. Here's the basic timeline of the story updates:

Spokane SWAT team has cornered THREE suspects in house (one believed to be armed). And finally... Spokane SWAT finds no one. Ah, yes....Spokane's finest. .

Jakey G Sharpens His Puzzle Skills
Jakey G was a smiley boy after grabbing some food at Urth Cafe in Beverly Hills on Monday. We're not quite sure if it was the weather or just the joy of wearing his favorite sweatshirt, but we're just happy to see him in good spirits. He brought along a newspaper for some quiet time alone, but we bet doing the crossword puzzle is even more fun with Reese lending a helping hand. .
