Loyalists Defeated in League Crisis England, France Join To Minimize' Incident Of Almeria Bombing GENEVA, June 1 —(U.i'i—Great Britain and France tonight forced the Spanish Loyalists to withdraw demands for league of nations ac- I tion against Germany aa result of ! the destruction of Almeria by five I Nazi warships. Julio Alverez del Vayo, Loyalist representative to the league, asked for Immediate league Intervention, but realized—tn the face of British and F'rench determination tn ••minimize* the Incident—that It would be useless to press for a special session of the league council. BRITISH. FRENCH DOMINATE Great Britain and France dominate the league counctl's actions. League diplomats rested more easily after Del Vayo's decision and his preparations to leave Geneva for Paris. They had feared that the Loyalists would force upon them the delicate responsibility of determining the blame for the bombing for the German "pocket" battleship Deutschland and Germany's reprisal of destruction of Almeria. , SITUATION TENSE Such a decision might have aggravated the tense international situation. firing the angers of Oermany and Italy which refuse to recognize league decisions.

Cerebral malaria is a serious complication of infection with the malaria parasite, affecting approximately one in a thousand children in areas where malaria is common. Many of the patients die, and among those who survive, about a third have lasting cognitive and neurological disabilities, including epilepsy and learning disorders. A study published on March 6th in PLOS Pathogens shows that a known drug can prevent brain damage in a cerebral malaria mouse model and eliminate subsequent neurological deficits.
Infection with the malaria parasite elicits a strong immune response in the patient, and it is known that both parasite and host response contribute to the nervous system problems in cerebral malaria. Lena Serghides, from the Toronto General Research Institute, Canada, and colleagues are interested in modulating the host response to malaria infection, in addition to anti-parasite drugs, with the goal to improve outcomes in patients.
They focused on a drug called rosiglitazone (approved for patients with diabetes) which activates a molecule called PPARɣ and is known to have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Using a mouse model of cerebral malaria, they show that when they give rosiglitazone in addition to antimalarial drugs at the onset of cerebral malaria symptoms, mice are more likely to survive, and the survivors which had received rosiglitazone did not show the brain abnormalities or cognitive defects seen in surviving mice that had only received antimalarial drugs.
When they compared both groups of mice at the molecular level, they found that rosiglitazone protects the integrity of the blood-brain-barrier and increases the level of anti-oxidant enzymes and of neuroprotective factors in the brain. One of the latter, called BDNF (for brain-derived neurotropic factor), was also increased in the blood of adult human patients with uncomplicated malaria who had participated in a clinical trial and received antimalarial drugs plus rosiglitazone, compared with other trial participants who had only taken antimalarials.
"Our results demonstrate that rosiglitazone adjunctive therapy resulted in increased survival and protection from long-term cognitive impairments in a mouse model of cerebral malaria", the authors say, "And the clinical trial data suggests that this approved drug, which has an excellent safety profile when taken for limited periods, might also induce such putative protective mechanisms in humans". They conclude that "in view of these results, testing rosiglitazone in patients with cerebral malaria is warranted."

India's Environmental Detectives
Lawyers in India advocate for environmental rights, one case at a time.
After six hours in a small basement office here in Delhi, India, I am overwhelmed by the activities of the day. From one minute to the next, it has been unpredictable and unplanned, but surprisingly productive. There is no such thing as a scheduled meeting, and adaptability is key. I'm visiting the office of the Legal Initiative for Forest and Environment (LIFE) [2], an Indian advocacy and law group that helps people who have been affected by environmentally harmful development projects. The people at LIFE are more than just lawyers to their clients. They serve as the voices of local people in an often voiceless world.
LIFE's four full time lawyers (Ritwick Dutta, Rahul Chaudhary, Promod Kumar, and Soumyarup Sahu) try over 70 cases a year with the Indian Supreme Court, the National Environmental Appellant Authority (NEAA) and the Central Empowerment Committee (CEC). Their goal is to keep the government accountable for its environmental decisions, and make sure that existing laws are enforced. This work, and the work of so many Access Initiative [3] partners like them, is a fundamental building block of sustainable development.
LIFE Attorneys Rahul Chaudhary, Promod Kumar, and Ritwick Dutta
LIFE attorneys serve as watchdogs when business and the government fail to follow the best practices mandated by law, such as holding public hearings, consultations and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). They perform quite a bit of detective work, piecing together evidence to ensure laws are being followed. They also help teach civil servants how to implement the laws, and help organizations and people connect with one another on cases taking place all over the country.
In one of their cases, runoff from a cement company had created brackish water in neighboring communities. In another, thermal power plants built without environmental testing had hurt local mango farmers. They take on these cases and others like them for only a nominal fee, if they charge at all.
In one such case I attended with Ritwick Dutta, he was appealing to the courts to enforce a law meant to protect Asiatic lions in the Girnar Sanctuary [4]. Dutta's client, the Gir Nature Youth Club, had used India's Right to Information Act [5] to obtain information about the building of an Ashram on land designated for wildlife. Through the petitions process, the club discovered that the Ashram had in fact been encroaching on protected forest lands for years, even after the courts had ordered them to stop.
The impact of the hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Ashram had taken a huge toll on the land, the wildlife in the area and the local community. Even though the courts had previously decided in favor of the Youth Club to preserve the land, local ministers had overruled them and allowed for the encroachment, undermining the purpose and intent of the protected area.
Ritwick Dutta with clients outside the courthouse
Our session in court that day, like so many others, ended without a final decision. When Ritwick and I returned to the LIFE office, I asked what motivates him to take on cases that can often drag on for years. "It's interesting and challenging work," he said. "I want future generations to be able to appreciate how beautiful India truly is. The environment has an inherent right to exist in the form in which it has been created. Since we are not the creator we should not be the destroyer."
In my job with The Access Initiative (TAI) [6], I have had the pleasure of working with some of the most amazing people around the world. Being based in DC, though, I rarely get to see them in action. Generally, I read their stories on our blog or in reports.
Sitting in LIFE's office in Delhi, I see the ultimate value of how access laws (access to information, access to justice and public participation) are the keys to empowering people to truly have a more sustainable future.
By putting the pieces of the law puzzle together one case at a time, the lawyers at LIFE help to ensure that the courts take the environment and community rights seriously. Even though they might not win all of their cases, they have at least brought the injustices to the attention of a larger Indian population. They have also given the local people a voice to ensure better standards for the future of their country's environmental and sustainable development. It's a process, and a story, that continues to inspire me.
LIFE is one of hundreds of groups in the Access Initiative that are fighting for better governance and environmental protection around the world. For more information about their work and the Access Initiative network, visit https://www.accessinitiative.org.

A man handed bags of cocaine to a police officer's children out trick-or-treating on Halloween night, thinking he had given them sweets, a court has heard.
The apprentice panel beater Donald Junior Green fished in his pockets for a bag of Haribo sweets to give to the youngsters but instead pulled out a plastic pack containing eight snap bags of cocaine he had bought for £200 earlier that day, Oldham magistrates court heard.
He dropped the drugs into the goody bags carried by the three children, aged eight, six and five, who knocked at his home to play trick or treat, escorted by their father, an off-duty police officer.
The 23-year-old defendant then went back inside the house, put his hand in his pockets to get out his drugs and instead pulled out the Haribo sweets.
Green immediately realised what had happened and went on foot, then by car, scouring the streets of Oldham nearby to find the youngsters.
But the officer, PC Simon Fowell, had taken his children home and, as they emptied their goody bags to share the spoils, spotted the drugs and made a swift call to his on-duty colleagues.
Green admitted a single charge of possessing a Class A drug on 31 October.
Green, of Oldham, will be sentenced on Monday after the preparation of a probation report.
Sean Brady, prosecuting, told the court Green was at his girlfriend's house in Royton when the incident happened.
The defendant had earlier that day bought £200 worth of cocaine, divided it up into snap bags and put it in his trouser pocket.
His girlfriend had also bought some small bags of Haribo sweets which they had been handing out to trick-or-treating youngsters that evening.
When Fowell's children approached, Green put his hand in his trouser pocket and pulled out what he thought were Haribo sweets.
Brady told the court: "Mr Fowell and the children thanked the defendant. That was their last call of the evening and they decided to go home. The children were soaked to their skin."
Back home the children went up to their bedroom to share out the sweets when their father popped in and spotted the "treat" from Green.
"He asked his daughter where this item came from. She said it was from the last call," Brady told the court.
Meanwhile, Green had realised his mistake.
Brady added: "Once he has gone back inside and put his hand in his pocket again and instead has pulled out a pack of Haribo and immediately realised what he had done. He then drove around the area trying to locate the children."
When Green answered the door to police who arrived to arrest him, he told them: "I know exactly why you are here. I knew you were coming."
Brady said there was a "wry" side to the case but the consequences could have been very serious.
"Had dad not have gone in and recognised what it was, this could have been a very serious case."
Steven Sullivan, defending, said Green had initially acted out of "public spirit" by giving out sweets but that had gone badly wrong.
"This was an accidental act. It was grossly foolhardy," he said.
"It took him only a matter of minutes to realise his error.
"This is clearly a highly unusual and unfortunate case. Not surprisingly it has attracted a good deal of adverse publicity.
"He has been embarrassed by the publicity but does not seek to feel sorry for himself."

Sandberg has high expectations for Rollins
In subpar year, shortstop open to altering approach, but aims to stay true to himself
PHILADELPHIA -- This season is one to forget for Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins.
Ryne Sandberg hopes to change that, if not this year, then certainly in time for 2014.
Rollins, 34, entered Monday's series opener against the Rockies at Citizens Bank Park hitting .248 with 23 doubles, two triples, five home runs, 34 RBIs and 15 stolen bases in 463 at-bats. His .305 on-base percentage was 11th out of 19 qualifying shortstops in baseball, and the second-lowest mark of his career. His .339 slugging percentage was 15th, and the lowest mark of his career. His .644 OPS was 13th, and also the lowest mark of his career.
"Individual performances, they do come and go with the team play, there's no doubt about it," Rollins said. "When you're playing better [as a team], you're up. You're playing better because you're winning. When you're winning, you seem to do better. That's the way it is. I don't know why, but that's what it is with anybody."
Sandberg hopes to get things turned around as a team, but he also hopes to help Rollins improve as a hitter.
"If you're batting in the first or second spot, your job is to get on base and to do that, it's more about quality at-bats," Sandberg said. "With a guy with speed, it's about staying on top of the baseball and concentrating on hard ground balls and line-drive strokes. I think that's something he can work at and get better. I think that can help him for the rest of his career, so that's something that will be stressed.
"I've had conversations with him, but also, I think it's my role to let him know what I expect of him and what I think he can do and what I think the team can do. For me, that's staying on top of the ball and utilizing speed. … The other thing is that he gets a little bit pull-happy at times. We've had conversations about the big hole that's up the middle, how teams pitch him. A lot of teams, if they pitch him away, there is a big hole up the middle. So something like that, for him, will be a big deal."
On Monday, Sandberg talked extensively about Rollins, and the discussion surrounding him is understandable.
The Phillies need a productive Rollins to win in 2014.
"I have great conversations with him, [with] the constant communications of what is expected and needed from him," Sandberg said. "Is it going to happen overnight? No. But as we go forward and we have 39 games left, I talked to the guys on the first day, and told them that these games were, for them, on being evaluated, ending on a good note and making adjustments that need to be made. Now is a good time to try something."
Rollins said he is open to suggestions, but he also follows one of former manager Charlie Manuel's favorite sayings: Know thyself.
He knows he is going to pull the ball, because he can't let the ball get too deep on him and go the other way.
"I love to learn," Rollins said. "If you think you've figured out everything about the game, then the game is going to pass you by. Then you're going to become stale and you're never going to get better. With the hitting coaches, I'm always open to new suggestions. You can't be afraid to do that. You just can't lose yourself in the process.
"One of the things I've learned about myself, when I let the ball get deep and try to go the other way, that causes a lot of fly balls, being late, and then you have to catch up, then you're underneath the ball already."
Rollins said he does not try to hit home runs. He said he tries to drive the ball into the gaps for doubles, but when he is swinging well, the home runs are a byproduct of that success.
So then why are the doubles down?
"Defensive positioning has a lot to do with it," he said. "I do hit line drives in the gap. I'm traditionally a pull-hitter, and a lot of times this year, I'm hitting balls out to right-center, and they're picking them up before I get to first and I'm like, 'Wow, it didn't used to be like that.' They used to play me kind of straightaway. They always played the right fielder over toward the line a little bit, but it's kind of shifted everybody over, so that doubles gap that I used to hit in right-center -- they take that away. So those are just long singles now."
Rollins essentially has two years remaining on his contract, and he said he is confident that the next couple of seasons will be better than this. But he did indicate that the team's play has taken a toll on him, and there is no guarantee the losing will stop.
"It's new. It's different," Rollins said. "The last two years, actually, have been just different. I've always been part of the building process, not the rebuilding process. Chase [Utley], Ryan [Howard], myself, we were the guys where they were saying, 'Give them a couple years. Let them come up, and they'll be good.' Then we hit a plateau, where we were good for a long time, and then you lose players here, you lose players there, and they haven't been replaced, so it's back to a young crop of guys. As an older player you're just like, 'Rebuilding. What is that?' It's rough. You learn to deal with it, knowing you're going out there, almost every day you're outmanned. That's just the truth of the matter.
"You have to add pieces. That's what they've always done. They always were able to add a piece here and add a piece there. We've traded guys away, but I haven't seen any return on it that's in the big leagues that's excitable, I guess you could say."
Rollins was asked if he thinks the veteran core is still good enough to win.
"If you think four people are going to win the World Series, then you're wrong," he said.
But Rollins, Utley, Howard, Cole Hamels, Carlos Ruiz, etc., had always led the way in the past.
"And then look at the pieces we had around us," Rollins said. "See? All you can do is lead."

#1 Procurement Expertise for Automotive Manufacturers
Procurement software know-how for the automotive industry
The automotive industry has the most advanced procurement practices in the business world. Our software solution keeps pace with these advances, making us the leading partner for the industry.
Shorter development cycles, closer technology partnerships with suppliers, high supply chain quality requirements, and ongoing monitoring of critical suppliers are all challenges that our automotive customers face every day. Optimizing the sustainability of supplier audits is a mandatory part of supplier development. The analysis of cost components from different suppliers using detailed split of costs cannot be overlooked in today's automotive sector.
What Sets Us Apart?
Our software solutions for the automotive industry cover all aspects of transactional and strategic procurement. Our proven modules were developed in cooperation with market leaders and have been helping OEMs and their suppliers optimize their processes for 15 years.
Supplier Management
Category and region-dependent supplier qualification and approval is a core issue in supplier management. Unique material group-specific supplier development workflows help to ensure that the development and quality departments are involved in the process from the beginning. The workflows also guarantee that boycott lists are checked automatically and that critical financial data is taken into account.
- Supplier Registration
- Supplier Qualification and Classification with Potential Analysis
- Supplier Development
- Certificate Management
In the area of eSourcing we offer support that goes beyond the classic process concepts RFI – RFQ – eAuction. With additional functions such as Linear Performance Pricing (LPP) and raw-material benchmarking, we use detailed data from cost-break-downs from the RFQ for statistical purposes. This makes it easy to, for example, ensure ongoing controlling of raw material trends in the final product.
Supply Chain Management (SCM)
Supply Chain Management is key in ensuring delivery that meets demand. In contrast to pure EDI service providers who work on the basis of received documents, we provide complex logic in the ERP system. To secure their supply and ensure transparency, many customers use a combination of delivery schedules, dispatch notifications with label printing, and VMI.
We also have specialized know-how when it comes to integrating logistics service providers, packaging management, and manufacturer's part numbers. With our long-term supplier declarations, we automate customs clearance. Our Document Approval Exchange Module also simplifies and streamlines the time-consuming and non-value adding process of exchanging documents with suppliers. The module makes it easy to exchange all types of documents, such as drawings, process instructions, standards or REACH documents.
Quality management in the automotive industry serves as THE standard for all other industries. Like EDIFACT in the logistics sector, we were one of the first companies worldwide to set QDX standards and produce a standardized quality portal in close cooperation with leading global automotive suppliers that also included the exchange of quality information.
Tejari integrates seamlessly with more than 40 ERP systems, including Oracle, SAP, IBM Maximo, McKesson, Infor, Banner, Workday, Colleague, and PeopleSoft.
The Solution Suite
Tejari's unique solutions make it easy for automotive manufacturers to ensure lean processes and compliance with the highest industry standards. This helps them to stay competitive in a challenging environment.
Net Results:
- Up to 80% fewer process costs for purchase orders
- Up to 70% fewer process costs for invoicing
- Up to 30% fewer costs for goods receipt management
- Concentrate resources on strategic tasks (costs, risks, innovation)
- Successfully implement global business transformation processes

Atletico coach Diego Simeone ruled out ever taking charge of fierce LaLiga rivals Real Madrid.
Simeone, 46, has been in charge at Atletico since 2011 and has developed into one of the world's most highly rated coaches.
Under the Argentinian, Atletico have won a Europa League, a league title and numerous cups, while reaching two Champions League finals.
Although he may be wanted by numerous European giants, Simeone said coaching Real Madrid was out of the question.
"I will never coach Real Madrid," he told Onda Cero.
"It is logical because of feelings. They wouldn't call me either.
"I am young, maybe someday I will lead another Spanish team."
The former Argentina international reiterated his desire to one day coach the national team.
Simeone said: "At some point, I would like to coach Argentina, but I have to improve as a coach.
"I would like to do it in the final stretch of my career."

Diddy and Rico Love
THE OCCASION Producer and songwriter Rico Love is not known for doing things low-key and the party for his 30th at the SLS hotel in the midst of Basel was no exception. We're talking celebrities, cocktails and plenty of camera flashes. THE GUESTS Diddy was but one of many A-listers at the celebration. Giving Love some love on his big day were Kelly Rowland, Janice Combs, Fat Joe and the ubiquitous Pharrell Williams. THE SCOOP After a welcome reception of Grey Goose Cherry Noir cocktails, guests moved poolside for a fashion show by Roberto Cavalli and Saks Fifth Avenue featuring the brand's spring/summer 2013 collection designed by Eva Cavalli. After the show, a select group of guests made their way to Katsuya for the private dinner portion of the evening. Rick Delacroix of Hublot made a birthday gift speech to Rico, and presented him with a limited edition Hublot Miami watch, named the "Hublot 305," of which only 10 were made. Rico took the watch from its box and wrapped it around his other wrist and showed it next to his existing Hublot timepiece. Photography by Johnny Nuñez

What happens when a month's worth of rain falls in a little over four days? It gets deep, obviously.
Just ask Maschel Sanchez who lives near Bean Creek on property north of Morenci that borders Mulberry Road.
The water kept rising last week and eventually her home was surrounded. She tried to drive out but the water was deep enough that her car stalled out in the driveway.
Wednesday afternoon last week she was still waiting for a relative to show up after work with a boat to take her to dry land—and escape the two inches of water in her bedroom.
Sanchez has never seen the river overflow its banks to that extent. Despite living less than 50 yards from Bean Creek, she said her insurance agent told her that the area is not an established flood plain.
You might have trouble convincing Sanchez of that.
Actually, said Morenci's National Weather Service climate observer George Isobar, it was more than a month's worth of rain.
"It could never rain a drop for the rest of the month and this March would still be the third wettest over the past 35 years," he said.
So far he's recorded 4.76 inches of rain.
"We had 5.11 in 1977 and 5.10 in 1985. Then comes this year, and it can't possibly stop there. It won't take much for a modern-day record setter."
Isobar said there have been occasions where four, five or more inches have fallen all in one storm, but this one was spread out.
"We've had five-inch deluges where it falls, it floods and then it's gone," he said. "That wasn't the case this time.
"First we had 1.07 inches a week ago Saturday, then another 1.02 inches on Sunday. It stayed really wet and then we had the crescendo—2.67 inches Tuesday and early Wednesday."
Water began running over several roads in the area, resulting in closures in some areas. Bean Creek flowed into Wakefield Park and reached the east side of the circular drive. Many farm fields are still dotted with small ponds.
"Before you complain too much about how wet it is, don't forget that it's still March," Isobar said. "We're just over half way through the month and we haven't yet had one flake of snow."
That's unusual for March, he said, since the average is a little over seven inches.
"Maybe we're clear of it this year," Isobar said. "Maybe this will be our rare snowless March. Just sayin'."

Pineapple Pizza. I Love It. Get Over It.
For years now, Girl Slice has been threatening to write a column for Slice/Serious Eats called "Unpopular Opinions," in which she dishes some of her contrarian beliefs. "I Love Pineapple Pizza" is a topic that has always been at the top of her list (along with "NYC's Chain Patsy's Are Better Than the Original Patsy's in East Harlem," and "A Cooked, Heavily Herbed Pizza Sauce Is Better Than a Fresh One"). Today, I finally got her to deliver on the pineapple issue. Enjoy! —The Mgmt.
Dare You Vote Against Pineapple Now?
Republicans versus Democrats. Israel versus Palestine. The God-fearing versus the heathen. Godfather I versus Godfather II. These are topics that normal people steer away from, in fear of explosive family dinners and friendships torn asunder. For pizza lovers, one of the most arguably controversial topics is...PINEAPPLE PIZZA.
I fall squarely into the I Love Pineapple Pizza Camp. As the soon-to-be wife of the Slicemeister General, I try to keep my love on the down low, along with my other guilty pleasures, which include Billy Joel, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Crocs. I know. I have no taste. But stay with me here. Tomatoes are a fruit. Pineapple is a fruit.
Fruits are a classic accompaniment to many savory dishes, bringing out a sweetness and fullness to many meats and starches. Chefs all over the world enjoy mixing fruits into savory dishes: Applesauce on latkes, pears with pork chops, duck à l'orange, raisins in coucous royale, orange-scented Afghan rice, sweet and sour pork, prosciutto wrapped in cantaloupe, and quince jelly and cheese. I could go on, but you get the idea. Sweetness and a little tang (say, sour cream with the applesauce on latkes) are the perfect accompaniment for a main course.
Pineapple combines sweetness with a little sour zestiness, making it perfect for pizza. Put it on a pizza without any meat, and the bubbly cheesiness wraps around the little chunks of pineapple like a wonderful tiki appetizer. Add thinly sliced ham and then you have a little salty burst of flavor, before the sweetness of the pineapple and the hot, tomato-y sauce coats your mouth. DOESN'T THAT SOUND DELICIOUS?!?
I will admit that I developed my love for pineapple pizza because my mom always tried to order the "healthiest" option at any fast-food joint. (For another post: My on-and-off addiction to McDonald's fish fillets.) Somehow she felt the fruitiness of the pineapple would be a better addition to my diet, than say, sausage.
Pineapple is not necessarily the best topping for an "artisanal" pizza--I would not recommend it on a Motorino pie, for example. (Because if I were at Motorino, I would order the brussels sprout and pancetta pizza.) The fancy pizzas really shine with an excellent crust and sauce, and canned pineapple used on those might be a bit off. But at a basic, local pizza joint? Go for the pineapple. Don't be ashamed. Tell them Girl Slice sent you. ALOHA!
P.S. The Facebook fan page for "Pineapple Pizza" has more than 1,200 fans!
[P.P.S.: The Slice fan page on Facebook only has 445 fans. Seriously? Love pineapple pizza or hate it, it's just not right that it's got more love on FB than Slice. Go fan Slice, people!!! —The Mgmt.]

Asparagus, Peas, Beans, and Fennel Salad
Patricia Wells, author of Salad as a Meal, knows how to treat her vegetables. It's her respect for vegetables that takes her salads from mere piles of dressed greens to beautifully arranged and expertly seasoned plates of vegetable-centric bounty.
This Asparagus, Peas, Beans, and Fennel Salad is a lovely and simple take on her salad savvy. Each vegetable component of the recipe is blanched for optimal flavor and greenness, and assembled right before serving with her genius Lemon-Chive Dressing. The dressing is a creamy, bright mix of lemon juice and zest, snipped chives, and heavy cream shaken together to make for a rich, tangy sauce than can work equally well as a dip, spread, or salad dressing. This recipe can be tweaked into late summer friendliness by subbing in any sort of beans from the garden (I subbed in purple and white Dragon's Tongue beans for the peas), kernels of blanched sweet corn, and crunchy slices of cucumber.
Reprinted with permission from Salad as a Meal by Patricia Wells, copyright © 2011. Published by William Morrow.
- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- 16 spears (about 1 pound) fresh green asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 1 pound slim haricots verts (green beans), trimmed at both ends and cut into 3- inch pieces
- 8 ounces peas, fresh or frozen (no need to thaw)
- 1 small bulb fennel (about 4 ounces)
- Creamy Lemon-Chive Dressing (recipe follows)
- Fine sea salt
- Coarse, freshly ground black pepper
- Creamy Lemon-Chive Dressing
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup light cream
- 1/3 cup finely minced fresh chives
- Lemon zest
For the Creamy Lemon-Chive Dressing: In the jar, combine the lemon juice and salt. Cover with the lid and shake to dissolve the salt. Add the cream, chives, and lemon zest. Shake to blend. Taste for seasoning. The dressing can be used immediately. (Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake to blend again before using.) But will it curdle? Given the right circumstances, such as the addition of acids or heat, any milk or cream product will curdle (meaning the curd protein coagulates and forms clumps). The greater the fat content of the milk or cream, the more it will resist curdling. I use a light cream with a 12% fat content, much like what is also called half-and-half, and have never had a problem with curdling when adding lemon juice to the cream.
For the salad: Prepare 4 large bowls of ice water.
Trim the asparagus, discarding the woody ends. Trim the tender tips on the diagonal to about 4 inches. Cut the remaining stalks on the diagonal into 3-inch pieces.
Fill the pasta pot with 3 quarts of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the coarse salt and the asparagus stalk pieces. Blanch, uncovered, for 1 minute. Then add the tips (which will cook more quickly) and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. (Cooking time will vary according to the size and tenderness of the asparagus.) Immediately remove the colander from the water, letting the water drain from the asparagus and reserving the cooking water. Plunge the asparagus into a bowl of ice water so they cool down as quickly as possible and retain their crispness and bright green color. (The asparagus will cool in 1 to 2 minutes. If you leave them longer, they will become soggy and lose crispness and flavor.) Drain the asparagus and wrap them in a thick kitchen towel to dry. (Do not cook them in advance or they will lose their crispness.)
Bring the water back to a boil, add the green beans, and blanch, uncovered, until very tender, about 4 minutes. (Cooking time will vary according to the size of the beans.) Immediately drain the beans (again reserving the cooking water) and plunge them into the second bowl of ice water so they cool down as quickly as possible and retain their crispness and bright green color. (The beans will cool in 1 to 2 minutes. After that, they will soften and begin to lose crispness and flavor.) Transfer the beans to a colander, drain, and wrap in a thick towel to dry. (The beans can be cooked up to 2 hours in advance. Keep them wrapped in the towel and hold at room temperature.)
Bring 1 quart of water to a simmer in the bottom of a steamer. Place the peas on the steaming rack. Place the rack over the simmering water, cover, and steam just until the peas are cooked al dente, 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately drain the peas and plunge them into another bowl of ice water so they cool down as quickly as possible and retain their crispness and bright green color. (The peas will cool in 1 to 2 minutes. If you leave them longer, they will become soggy and begin to lose crispness and flavor.) Drain the peas.
With the mandoline or chef's knife, cut the fennel into very thin slices, dropping them into the last bowl of ice water to crisp them for about 10 minutes.
At serving time, drain the fennel, combine all the vegetables in a large bowl and toss with just enough dressing to coat them lightly and evenly. Taste for seasoning. Arrange on 4 large dinner plates. Season with pepper, and serve.

Just thought we would let you know that Security Update 2006-005 is now available in Software Update. The update, which of course requires a restart, apparently improves security of AirPort; did anyone even know there were security issues with Airport? Well what kind of security issues could Apple possibly be having? Well lets read the "more info" blurb off Apple's website:
This document outlines security updates for Apple products. For the protection of our customers, Apple does not disclose, discuss or confirm security issues until a full investigation has occurred and any necessary patches or releases are available. To learn more about Apple Product Security, see the Apple Computer Product Security Incident Response website.
How very... vague. It is almost like they don't want to tell us what the exploit was so people don't exploit it. I wonder if Apple would go as far as asking some individuals who knew how to exploit such a flaw to not demonstrate it in public, so they could protect their customers. That, if you turn your head just right, almost sounds feasible.
With all the "press" about supposed AirPort vulnerabilities it would be kind of nice if someone just settled this once and for all but that's not going to happen. What it really comes down to is that you should probably get the security update whether you believe in MacBook hacks or not.

I noticed last week that monster rolled out a new updated version of their website. They added a lot of new ajax stuff on the front, which might seem cool, but obviously they didnt adequately test it. After using it for several days, I have experienced a lot of bugs.
Here is an example:
I find a job I am interested in. I click the apply button and the dialog box for me to enter in my information is off the top of the screen leaving me unable to apply for this position. This is just one of the many user interface bugs I have found. Not being able to apply for a job is a pretty big problem if you are a job site. At this point, I have to say the new monster.com sucks.
Have you had problems with the new Monster.com? Let me know in the comments.

What are my local travel options?
All international flights arrive at the Belize International Airport (BZE), located in Ladyville, Belize City.

Transfer/taxi cost is about USD$35.00, for up to 6 guests per taxi. The taxi can also make a stop for you to pick up groceries for additional per stop charge.
Once at the resort, you will need to rent a golf cart or use the water taxi, for local travel.

Water taxi prices are USD$7.00/one way/per person to town, they also have limited times for pickup at our pier. The Coastal Express water taxi station is just north of the middle of town. Bikes are also available for rent.
How do I book activities and tours?
Your stay at Indigo Belize includes personal concierge service at no additional charge. Our reservations and guest service team aims to make your stay as smooth and as fun as possible, giving you delightful memories that last a lifetime. We assist with transfers, local flight reservations, tours and activities, as well as, providing general information on the island and recommendations on "must do's", during your stay. Upon booking you will receive information on applicable rates and personalized service.
Do you need to exchange USD dollars to local BZD dollars?
Exchange is not necessary; all vendors/stores accept US currency at the controlled government exchange rate of USD$ 1.00 to BZD$ 2.00. It is recommended to have some cash with you for small payments, such as taxi or purchases to small local vendors, who only take cash. We advise that you make sure the bills are not distorted or they won't be accepted. Some places only take cash, but most take credit cards.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, a few places accept Amex and Discover. Most restaurants take credit cards and frequently a credit card processing fee is added to the transaction. Also some credit cards companies may add additional international transaction fees, so it is advisable to check with your card provider for details about your card. It is advisable to notify your credit card company or bank that you will be traveling, so your transaction is not declined. Frequently, a minimum of BZD$20.00 is required to run a credit card charge. The Green House offers a discount for purchases over a USD$100.00. You need to ask for this discount.
Where do we buy food?
If you would like to order provisions for your vacation, you can do so at www.matagrandegrocery.com. Tammy and Justin do a fabulous job of making sure your condo is stocked before you arrive. Keep in mind that most items cost more in Belize than what you pay at home, so shopping at the airport duty-free store and bringing your favorite dry goods such as peanut butter and granola bars, can be convenient and more economical. A welcome meal is also recommended and we can help you arrange this. One of our cooks can prepare a delicious Belizean meal that will be ready in your condo at your arrival or later in the day. You may also schedule additional meals for your stay with our concierge. Please advise us of any specialty dietary needs when making the reservation. There are a number of grocery stores in town that you can stop and shop, before coming North to Indigo, or you can take your cart to town, as most guests do.

What are the risks at Ambergris Caye?
In Belize, the sun is directly overhead and much stronger than most tourists are accustomed to, so sunburn is the greatest risk. We recommend to bring lots of sunscreen and reapply often. Sun hats and rash guards can also be a great help.
Mosquitoes and bug bites: Bug spray is recommended, especially around foliage and after rain. Typically the risk near the beach is low, as long as, the sea breeze is present.
Petty theft: Do not leave valuables or belongings unattended on the beach or in town. Indigo is 4.5 Miles from San Pedro, in the safe, quiet, and tranquil Mata Grande neighborhood. We have full-time day employees and night security for added safety. Our island vibe is laid back, dress is casual and flip-flops is your daily accessory, so it is advisable to leave your valuables such as gold, diamonds, and jewels at your home, since there is little need for them here.
We are traveling with children, is there any concern?
Children can do just about everything there is to do in Belize, we have many families visit our country and partake in all sorts of activities. Our concierge will gladly give you recommendations on family activities.
A note from the U.S. embassy, "U.S. citizens traveling with minor children may be asked by immigration officials to show U.S. birth certificates for each child. When children are not traveling with both parents, immigration officials often request signed documentation to establish the children are traveling with the permission of both parents. Such documentation may include notarized letters from the parent(s), custody or adoption papers, and death certificates in situations where one or both parents are deceased." If you are traveling with your children and both parents are not present U.S. immigration may request a notarized document giving permission for the child to travel. Please be sure to check with the U.S. embassy and have the required documents before arriving at your international airport in the U.S.
Are there restrictions for people with disabilities?
Generally speaking, Belize is not well equipped for persons that are disabled. However, if you are not wheelchair bound, you should be fine. On Ambergris Caye, many roads are roughly paved and golf carts are the main mode of transportation, so this is something to consider. A few places may have entry ramps, but mostly it's steps.
Protect our reef, our waters, and our way of life. When traveling to Belize please bring or purchase reef safe sunscreen and natural bug spray. Help us keep our country beautiful for generations to come, so your children and ours will enjoy its natural beauty, as we have.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, already deeply immersed in high-profile domestic policy, is finding that his clout extends to foreign affairs as well, as he plays a top surrogate role for President Barack Obama in the early days of their second term.
Biden is now in many ways viewed as Obama's "Mr. Fix-it," who struck a crucial budget deal in January and who is able to navigate his way comfortably through Washington's complex power structure with a back-slapping joviality that Democrats find endearing despite the occasional verbal misstep.
The 70-year-old former senator has often been viewed as gaffe-prone, which makes his wide influence all the more remarkable. Just last year Biden was the subject of media speculation that Obama, when his re-election campaign was struggling, might dump him in favour of Hillary Clinton.
"I think what's striking about Biden's role, particularly recently, is both the public nature of it and the significance of the portfolios," said Joel Goldstein, an expert on the vice presidency at St. Louis University.
A Reuters-Ipsos poll last week showed Biden leading several of the Republicans most often mentioned as potential 2016 contenders, like former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
"In terms of how Biden is perceived, there's a real sort of folksiness - for lack of a better term - that people find appealing," said Ipsos pollster Julia Clark. "He puts his foot in his mouth, but who doesn't? It's sort of what makes him more relatable."
Obama, who has maintained a tight control of foreign policy out of the White House, sent his No. 2 to Munich this month to hold his second administration's first face-to-face contacts with key U.S. allies. Biden visited France and Britain as well as Germany.
In Munich, Biden dangled the possibility of direct U.S. talks with Iran over its nuclear ambitions, which would be a departure from the typical U.S. pattern of dealing with Tehran along with five other major powers.
And under pressure to do more to help Syrian rebels, Obama had Biden meet with Syrian opposition leaders and assure them the United States would send them humanitarian aid in their bid to oust the Syrian government.
Such a high-profile role contrasts with the way many past vice presidents have been relegated to ceremonial functions like representing the United States at funerals abroad.
Some vice presidents, like Dick Cheney under George W. Bush, played powerful roles, but behind the scenes.
Biden has played significant roles both publicly and privately, working internally as a sort of contrarian to challenge policies on Iraq and Afghanistan, for example, while publicly taking on difficult sales jobs, like promoting Obama's unpopular $787 billion economic stimulus plan in the first term.
As a devout Catholic, Biden's public support for gay marriage last year caught the White House off guard and forced Obama to voice his own backing for same-sex marriage.
"It's been that way from the beginning," said Aaron David Miller, an expert at the Woodrow Wilson Centre. "You can't diminish Biden's role over the first four years. He's been incredibly public and very active."
In many ways, Biden is the exact opposite of the calm, cool and unflappable Obama, being more prone to bombast and show boating.
So it comes as no surprise that the satirical website, The Onion, has developed an comedy series about him. The Onion's Biden is a boozer - the real Biden does not drink - who stole "800 feet of copper wire from a foreclosed home" and washes a Trans Am muscle car in the White House driveway, shirtless.
Sometimes there is a sense that the fake Biden of The Onion and the real one are somehow linked - such as when he was on Capitol Hill to swear in senators.
"Spread your legs, you're gonna be frisked," he joked to Senator Heidi Heitkamp's husband. To body-building Senator Tim Scott, he said: "Need any help on your pecs, man, give me a call."
He told attendees at the Munich security conference that he had travelled over 640,000 miles (1.02 million km) since becoming vice president, and added: "Most the time the president sends me to places that he doesn't want to go!"
Biden's loose tongue may have led Americans to underestimate his role in Obama's first term.
But recent events, such the fiscal-cliff crisis, have shown how reliant the president is on him.
It was Biden who brought about escape from fiscal chaos late last year by finding common ground with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, whose antipathy for Obama is such that he once vowed his major goal was to deny him a second term.
And it was Biden who negotiated with various groups and came up with the first U.S. gun-control proposals in decades, recommendations that Obama quickly endorsed and Congress is now discussing.
Just last week Biden was on Capitol Hill taking the temperature of Senate Democrats on the gun control proposals. Having spent 30 years in the Senate, he is viewed on Capitol Hill as a more credible voice than Obama, who served less than a full term as a senator.
"Senator Obama was here for 30 minutes; Senator Biden was here for 30 years. That's the biggest difference. He's a lot less cocky, doesn't hog the conversation, let's everybody speak, and he understands it," said an aide to a senior Republican senator.
Inevitably, conversation about Biden turns to whether he will seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. He has not ruled this out.
Biden fuelled speculation about his plans by staging a party of long-time friends and associates at his home in last January to celebrate his second swearing-in. It included guests from the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire.
"I would say he's definitely keeping his options open," said one participant, Sara Riley, a lawyer from Cedar Rapids, Iowa who helped Biden's 2008 presidential campaign.
Biden will have to decide whether he can get elected at 74, an advanced age for a president, and whether he would want to run against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, should the 65-year-old wife for former President Bill Clinton decide to stand as well.
At the White House, officials are well aware of the speculation and want Biden to be a successful vice president should he decide to seek the top job. And the best way for him to be a successful vice president, they say, is for Obama to be a successful president.
At the same time, Obama and the White House have been careful not to choose sides between Biden and Clinton.
White House spokesman Jay Carney skirted the issue when asked if Obama preferred one or the other.
"I think for the sake and sanity of all involved, it's worth taking a little bit of a break from presidential election-year politics," he said.
