Gas prices aren't likely to drop much more this summer

They may drift slightly lower, but most of the declines are over, analysts say. The average for a gallon of regular is $3.794 in California, $3.579 nationally.
Motorists can expect gasoline prices to drift slightly lower over the rest of the summer, but most of the declines are over, analysts said, as the average for a gallon of regular in California reached $3.794 and stood at $3.579 nationally.

The price averages are calculated by the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration, which uses a telephone survey of gas stations across the U.S.

J.K. Rowling: 'Never say never' to more 'Potter'

Will she or won’t she?

Although J.K. Rowling has said that the story of Harry Potter ends with the seventh book, she’s reserving the right to change her mind and extend the story.
The 45-year-old author told the enormous crowd gathered for the world premiere of “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” in London Thursday that she has no immediate plans to resurrect Potter's tale, but also that one should “never say never.”

Said Rowling, “It is my baby and if I want to bring it out to play again, I will.”

Indeed, the final “Harry Potter” premiere was a bittersweet moment for the author, as she told BBC News that the franchise has changed her personally.

“You know honestly, if someone told me this is coming, I might’ve said, I can’t do that. I’ve really come out of my shell,” she said. “I was not someone who was a natural public speaker and and I was not very comfortable with this sort of thing. It’s just as well that I got introduced to it by degrees.”

As for what’s next, Rowling notes that she does have a stash of non-“Potter” material waiting in the wings.

“I think I always felt I didn’t want to publish again until the last film was out. I’ve been writing hard ever since I finished writing 'Hallows,' but I will publish again,” she says. “In a sense it’s a beginning for me as well as an end.”

And while we wait to see if Rowling's new beginning will actually include more about the boy wizard, there's always Pottermore.

Beatles Day staged at Albert Dock Liverpool

The fourth annual Beatles Day is being celebrated in Liverpool with Beatles tribute bands playing at venues across the Albert Dock.

Miracle of the Day - Heal from cancer

"I found out that my God is a divine healer.  I was afflicted with that cancer in my breast. I had given up. I thought it would be better with the Lord than being here.

One night the Lord ministered to me.  He said, "What good would you be to me being dead, how can you help to build the kingdom if you are gone?"  That night I cursed death and began to speak life. Today, I thank God for all that He is. I am a minister today, preaching the living word. Thank you Jesus!"
