No. 85: Cooking Ingredient of the Year
The Brazilian plants known as Sechuan Buttons have made their way to American cuisine. It's the most electrifying culinary advancement since Pop Rocks.
Sechuan buttons, a trade name for Brazil's native "Toothache Plant," don't actually taste like much, but chew a few petals and the tongue tingles fiercely for a few moments, and then a curious half-numb, half-effervescent feeling spreads through the mouth. In New York, they appear in the grilled scallops with gooseberries at Anthos. "They are a way of circumventing the use of acid, like lemon juice," says chef Michael Psilakis. "They give you a jolt without affecting the other flavors."

Is it me, him, us, or just life?(113 Posts)
I am not well today and pretty run down in general and feeling absolutely devastated about the state of my relationship, or non-relationship, with dp.
A few things have thrown his lack of interest in me into stark relief recently.
today he is so cold to me. I begged him to take the children this morning to let me lie in, I am trembling and feverish. He did, but at 9 after I had been with them since 7.30 and only because I begged him to. His response to this was very cold. No sympathy at all. but he did agree to look after them.
I always get up at the weekends. I leave in the week before he gets up and he has to do all the child stuff on his own. I think he feels like a martyr because of this even though the reason why I am not helping is because I am physically not able to be there and he has already had an extra half hour's sleep. for some reason this means he never gets up when the kids wake on Saturday and Sunday.
Anyway he hasn't asked how I am or even actually really looked me in the eye.
I don't have anyone to talk to and overthink a lot.
today I was thinking that maybe that is just how we are, how he is. he doesn't have to be all hearts and flowers all the time.
but as soon as I got up and saw him I just felt hollow and awful. the lack of respect, affection, anything, acknowledgment, anything, it is really wearing me down. "Oh you're up!" with a smile - anything - even if followed by "Oh good you can give me a hand with...."
I am feeling awful so I am losing all perspective. I want to leave him right now. Some days I hate him.
we do not sleep together. He doesn't talk to me much. usually he doesn't answer if I send him emails during the day from work. When I get home from work he is bathing the kids and I say hello to them and have to dance about in his face, practically, to get his attention to say hello to me
I think a lot of this is just how he is; a lot of it is that he resents me for working long hours and he thinks he has a hard life with so much of the childcare (I do not have a choice with work, I get home the second I can and even still I work hours after dcs' bathtime, at home); some of this is surely down to how I am , but I don't know what or how to change
feeling utterly shit about everything right now. Old and tired and desperate. Wondering what can be done. honestly I think nothing. I can't imagine ever having fun again
what is normal?
we have been together 10 years this spring. I was so happy when I met him and then later he laughed at me so often about things I said and did on our first dates that I can't even look happily back at that time, I just feel like a dickhead
It's sad that you feel so crappy, especially as you're unwell. It sounds like you need to have a long talk with DH and see if you still want the same things. You don't have to be unhappy for the rest of your life. If DH can't make you happy anymore, then it's never too late to find someone who can. Good luck and hugs to you
Perhaps he's knackered and bored doing the mornings and evenings on his own? Perhaps he feels like a single father with you working all of the time?
It sounds as though you're both resentful and unhappy. Can't you talk about making some changes to get the happiness back?
yes, he is knackered and bored and he said just now "he feels like a single parent most of the time".
But I don't see why he blames me for this. We have two small children, life is fucking boring and difficult and while he is lying in bed in the mornings I am already out in the dark and the rain. It's having children and working that makes things hard, not something I have done to him. he wanted the children. He loves them and never wishes we didn't have them. But why should he blame me for having to do work to do with them?
I asked him "what do you want me to do?" and didn't get an answer. I can't do things when I am not here.
I am knackered and bored too. I have got to the point where I can't even imagine having a good time. A good time is a train ride where I get a seat and the person sitting next to me isn't wearing hissing earphones. That is the extent of my aspirations to enjoyment
It is so, so tiring not being loved.When I got up earlier I felt crappy but thought I would try to pull myself together so we could do something, go to the park, something like that. (dcs like to ride their bikes at a park you have to drive to, p doesn't drive). when I saw his snitty cold face all the resolve drained out of me and I just couldn't even find the energy to get dressed properly. I am in tears in bed again
I can relate to your post.
This was exactly how my ex was although he was t doing the child care. He also went out whenever he fancied it after work and wouldn't pick up when I was calling at 11pm/1am/3am to find out where he was.
It is not normal for a person to hardly acknowledge the other one exists. It's rude. It's selfish. It's hurtful.
I couldn't live with it anymore but actually only left when he cheated on me. If he hasn't have done I'd probably still be putting up with it.
I really feel for you. Just remember one thing...it isn't you, it is him.
mammadiggingdeep, how do you know it's not me? I am actually very hard to like.
I need to have a smear, I should have had it last summer (they put me on yearly ones after a bad one) and I haven't found the time. I need to go to the dentist. I need to sort out my stuff that is in boxes after moving and I need to do some proper cooking and food prep and lose some of this weight. I need to do some yoga stretches as I am gradually siezing up and getting older and unfitter. I feel like everything is all on top of me and I never do anything for myself and at the same time, he resents me for not doing enough for the dcs or perhaps for him. I doubt for him, he doesn't appreciate any attempts I have made in the past to do things to show affection
I was violently ill when I was travelling for work a couple of weeks ago, very lonely and weak and sad working through it all, and when I couldn't sleep and was lonely and I knew he was at his desk (time difference) I tried to get him to talk to me my email and he ignored me and didn't ask how I was
A woman in China who I have never met but have started emailing for work sent me an amusingly effusively affectionate reply in thanks for a little bit of help I gave her. (English a very second language) It was the nicest email I have had from anyone in ages and I was laughing but almost crying at my desk because some business person in China who I have never met calling me "dearest" and sending "warm hugs from Shanghai" is the most affection I have had from any adult in years
Normally it's the wife at home, taken for granted with the husband out all hours earning. You have a role reversal situation. It isn't 'fun' being isolated at home, any more than it's 'fun' getting up a t silly o'clock to go to work.
Is it that far gone that your relationship is irretrievable? Can he get a job? Can you reduce your hours or transfer into a role that keeps more sociable hours?
At the moment you are just ships that pass, both full of resentment. Something has to give.
What makes you think he's blaming you as opposed to just being knackered and unhappy and tired of being unloved the same as you?
Again. It sounds as though you're both unhappy. Why don't you talk? Become a partnership tackling the problem together rather than resenting each other?
He does have a job, but he doesn't have the commute that I have, so he looks after the dcs very week day till the CM takes them 8.30 and then after 5.30 when they get back.
At weekends I often take them out without him to give him a break and I always get up with them while he is still in bed. I do see why he needs some time "off" but I don't get down time in the week either. In fact I work evenings too after the dcs are in bed.
" What makes you think he's blaming you as opposed to just being knackered and unhappy and tired of being unloved the same as you?"
he is not unloved. I am always making approaches that are rebuffed.
I do think he is overworked and bored, yes. but he is not unappreciated.
"why don't you talk?" he isn't interested
Can you go to counselling, both of you? Sounds like he resents you hugely, which isn't fair.
Also, can you move? I'm assuming you live in london as you mentioned the train commute - if you got another job in a town somewhere else, could you sell up and relocate? Drastic, but seems like you could use life at a slower pace.
Do you think there's any love still buried in your relationship?
You can spend this thread going round and round your resentment. And I can see the benefit in doing that.
However, it would seem to make more sense to change the situation and tackle this unhappiness with your husband. You say you've tried to talk with him. Does he outright refuse?
Pand, Sounds like he resents you hugely, which isn't fair.
Really? Sounds like they really resent each other hugely. Which isn't necessary.
Even if it was you (which I doubt) but even if you were awful to love with, he's not telling you that is he??
He's staying with you and crushing you with lack of affection. I can relate to the email thing. I used to get chatting to complete strangers in the supermarket and instead of it just being a little exchange...it was literally the highlight of my day
Life is boring when kids are little. I recognise your situation- resentment has set in.
* live with...
I have no idea.
I have only recently started to think in terms of giving up. When the dcs were babies I had no aspirations for anything beyond survival. Actually I do carry a fair amount of resentment for his lack of understanding of what I was going through with all that. I try not to, but I do, because of the way he treats me now about having to do less than I did, while being physically well at the same time (I was not). Now my youngest is almost 3, life looks pretty bleak as I am able to sort of put my head up and look around a little bit.
I find it very hard to get jobs. I can't start trying to plan around moving somewhere and getting a job there because I won't get one. I have been unemployed at various times post redundancy for quite long periods. I can't plan my life really for that reason, I am not much wanted
dp finds it easier to get jobs. he has often been able to get what he needs in certain places (which is why he is able to work near our home now for instance). but he doesn't earn enough to keep us all. and nor would I want to be dependent on him as he doesn't even like me
Logg1e - true actually. Resentment amongst a couple is never good.
He doesn't listen and makes everything all about him.
If I want to change something - just pick one thing I want to change and try to find a way to say it that is "hearable" because it is not aggressive or framed as a criticism - we aren't allowed to talk about that thing because he will hear it as a criticism and therefore will respond by attacking me on something else
this is a pattern, it has happened a million times
everything I say is either so gentle as to be ignored, or if I ramp it up and say "I am serious about this" (maybe some time later after I have given him a chance to act on the gentle request ) he finds a way to make it into a fight, attack me on something else, discredit me all round and nothing changes
So it sounds as though you have no choice then but to live to work, continue with the long hours and long commute? In which case it's better for your children's father to continue providing the child care?
I don't believe this to be true. I think you've got a better way of finding a different solution if you talk together rather than believing you alone have to be the one to make plans, move around and get a job.
Even when he is physically pushing me around it is always my fault
You didn't think that physical abuse was worthy of mention earlier in the thread?
What do you mean 'Even when he is physically pushing me around it is always my fault' he shouldn't be doing that at all! I was about to say that you need to think very carefully about whether you wanted to stay with someone who doesn't like you but if he is physically abusive there is only one response and you know what it is...
I said to him a few months ago "I was wondering, do you think I could work less" and I wanted to have a whole conversation about what isn't working and what we could do.
He looked at me in a sort of quizzical accusing way and said "do you think you could work less?" like I was already in the wrong about something. and went back to the internet. I said "at the moment we have no money left over. how do you think we could manage things so I could be at home more" and he said "I don't know" in an annoyed way and went back to his lap top
I wanted to take parental leave (unpaid) when dd2 was starting preschool and dd1 was starting school. he said everything was fine and there was no need. I feel like nothing really is fine but when it comes down to sitting down and saying "what can we do" then he doesn't want to have those conversations so he says everything is fine
or maybe everything is fine for him, just not for me? I don't think so though

A technology giant and federal contractor in charge of the city's scandal-plagued CityTime payroll project agreed Wednesday to pay more than $500 million in restitution and penalties to avoid prosecution.
The agreement, which prosecutors said they believed was the largest of its kind ever made, recoups for the city the bulk of the $652 million it spent on a project that began as a $63 million attempt to automate employee timekeeping but ballooned tenfold into what authorities say was an epic fraud involving kickbacks, systemic overbilling and an international money laundering conspiracy.
"The investigation revealed that SAIC managers responsible for CityTime placed profit ahead of principle, time and time again," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said. "That is why we insisted that the company pay from its own pocket every penny of the massive fraud perpetrated against the city."
In the deal, entered by an SAIC Inc. attorney before a federal judge in Manhattan, the multibillion-dollar contractor acknowledged it had failed to properly investigate a 2005 whistleblower complaint and had employed managers who disregarded employee concerns and missed or ignored warning signs.
"Some SAIC managers failed to perceive or ignored significant and pervasive irregularities," the company said in court papers. "SAIC's failures resulted, in part, from an overemphasis on the financial and operational success of the project."
The project's senior manager, Gerard Denault, has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges. SAIC said that Denault's managers had missed or ignored his creation of an atmosphere of fear in the office that discouraged subordinates from coming forward.
When some employees went to Denault's supervisors with concerns, they "reacted with inappropriate skepticism, shifted the burden to the employees to prove their assertions, and failed to pass on the concerns to the proper company personnel for investigation," the company said.
The $500 million payment _ restitution to the city of $370 million and a penalty of $130 million _ is more than twice the amount that SAIC anticipated in a filing in December. Then, the San Diego-based company made a $232 million provision to cover possible losses associated with the case.
The city stands to receive $466 million of the settlement money, and the company is forgiving another $40 million the city had owed. Authorities have moved to take control of more than $52 million in assets of those charged in the case. Prosecutors have said that "virtually the entirety" of the money spent by the city on the project "was tainted, directly or indirectly, by fraud."
The company, which is facing a shareholder lawsuit over the case, continues to receive contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government. It has undergone a shake-up in recent months, with the CEO announcing his retirement in October, several weeks before the company fired three senior managers and hired a law firm to review its ethics and practices. A new CEO and chief operating officer have been named.
Under the agreement with federal prosecutors, the technology company, which took in $2.81 billion in the third quarter of last year, will implement an ethics program and hire an independent monitor.
SAIC attorney Douglas Lobel declined to comment after Wednesday's court hearing. A company spokeswoman didn't return messages seeking comment.
Of the 11 people charged in the case, two have pleaded guilty, and a third has died. Two others believed to have fled the country have not formally declared their guilt or innocence, and the remaining six have pleaded not guilty. A message left for Denault's lawyer wasn't immediately returned.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, asked on Wednesday whether failings of city oversight may have led to the fraud, said the city was examining its practices and seeking to improve them.
"We take it very seriously," he said. "We look back and see how it was perpetrated. Should we have known? Could we have known? We keep strengthening all of our surveillance."
The city is implementing a number of changes to its contracting to increase oversight and reduce the size of contracts. After the CityTime investigation, one of Bloomberg's appointees, the head of the city office that was in charge of the project, was suspended without pay and resigned. He had previously worked for the company in charge of quality assurance on the project, a firm that employed contractors who have been charged in the case.
Bloomberg said the settlement represented a victory for the city and noted that the CityTime project had ultimately provided the city with working timekeeping technology.
Later Wednesday, the City Council passed legislation that will require the mayor's administration to report cost overruns to the council. Bloomberg is expected to sign it.

| I have serious concerns regarding approval of cloned meat for human consumption, most especially the proposed lack of labeling for such food stuffs. I would not be comfortable consuming those types of products, nor would I be comfortable serving them to my family. Approval of this product without labeling will insure that me and my family will avoid meat products in their entirety.
If the product is so safe, then why not label it and let consumers decide for themselves if they want "cloned" material. Without labeling consumers have no manner by which to avoid those products, other than a wholesale avoidance of meat in general.
Please at the very least provide labeling for such products, and allow consumers to make informed choices as to what they are feeding their family.

Careful, he might hear you
Page Tools
There are glimpses of raw truth when politicians are caught off guard, writes Deborah Snow.
Gift of the gab? Or gift of the gaffe? Depending on which version of his remarks you accept, Malcolm Turnbull was displaying one or other - possibly both - during his address to Bondi residents this week.
Asked by the local precinct committee to address a meet-the-candidates evening, Turnbull, the new Liberal candidate for the federal seat of Wentworth, touched a raw spot in the Government's hide when he said history could - or was it would? - be a stern judge of George Bush's foray into Iraq.
Several of those present, including the Labor candidate, David Patch, are adamant he used the words "unadulterated error" of the Bush-driven invasion. Turnbull is adamant he used a more qualified phrase, that "it may well be" history would judge the war an error. A fine line, but politically one he had to draw when the impact of the remark reverberated around Canberra. With his legendary self-confidence looking slightly dented, the high-profile candidate says he's learned one lesson: take a tape recorder.
Perhaps the real indictment of public life is that unguarded moments like these make headlines because officials and politicians so rarely offer candour over the more comfortable alternative of toeing the party line. But if the goal is simply to stay out of trouble, then it pays to be careful about who's listening.
It's a precaution former Liberal politicians Jeff Kennett and Andrew Peacock fell foul of one evening in March 1987 as they were chatting via Kennett's car-phone, unaware a radio ham was picking up their expletive-riddled conversation regarding John Howard.
This was unusually easy fare for journalists because technology had trapped the pair in their own words, albeit under circumstances where neither expected to be overheard.
More often controversy erupts when there is a note-taker whose intentions a speaker is unaware of, coupled with ambiguity about whether a gathering is public or private.
Earlier this year a furore broke out when Melbourne Age journalist Mark Forbes reported claims which he attributed to a senior intelligence official questioning aspects of the Government's line on Iraq. Several days later the head of the Defence Intelligence Organisation, Frank Lewincamp, told a Senate committee he believed himself to be the source of some of the remarks in Forbes's story.
It emerged Lewincamp had made the observations to a closed seminar of senior university students, Forbes among them, and that Lewincamp believed the lecture would remain confidential under so-called "Chatham House" rules for off-the-record briefings.
Forbes and others take the view that Chatham House rules allow information to be used so long as a speaker is not identified. It's a grey area, open to manipulation by either side.
Paul Keating was speaking under Chatham House rules when he galvanised a press gallery dinner in 1990 by saying he was the "Placido Domingo" of Australian politics, implicitly denigrating then prime minister Bob Hawke.
If Keating did not expect it to become public he was naive. The off-the-record rule at gallery dinners was more often honoured in the breach than the observance, with some gallery operators sending juniors along so they could pump them later about what had been said, and write it up.
Another stratagem is deciding that if a private conversation is heard by enough people, it's no longer private. Premier Bob Carr had a furious run-in with the then Bulletin reporter John Lyons in early 1999 after Lyons found himself within earshot at a Christmas function when Carr ranted about his dissatisfactions with the Labor movement. Lyons reported the lot.
Then again, our own federal Treasurer, Peter Costello, discomfited the US central bank chief, Alan Greenspan, during a trip to Washington in 1996. The rookie Treasurer emerged from a meeting with the notoriously tight-lipped banker to let slip some of Greenspan's views on US interest rates. It sent Western markets into a spin, though Costello denied offering anything except his own assessment.
Perhaps we should hope public figures don't learn their lessons too well from these episodes, if national discourse is to be enlivened by the occasional flash of unvarnished truth.

After an array of sour performances last year, a plethora of commodities are surging in 2014. From gold and other precious metals to coffee to corn, many commodities have given investors reasons to smile this year.
For the indecisive investor, the GreenHaven Continuous Commodity Index Fund (NYSEArca: GCC) offers equal weight exposure to 17 commodities. The $336 million ETF, which carries an annual expense ratio of 0.85%, breaks its allocations down as follows: Three energy commodities, four precious metals, four soft commodities and six agriculture commodities.
"So far this year GCC is up 11.3 percent, making it the best performer among its peers. The edge came from its exposure to commodities like coffee and livestock. Of the large commodity ETFs it is the least in sync with the stock market's movements," reports Eric Balchunas for Bloomberg. GCC "is less volatile than the S&P 500 and trades 87,000 shares a day. Its expense ratio is 1.05 percent, meaning that it charges investors 1.05 percent of assets on an annual basis. GCC's expense ratio is high compared to the average equity ETF, and slightly higher than other broad commodity ETFs."
Although GCC has performed well this year, critics, as Bloomberg notes, are often eager to point out the ETF is not reflective of the true commodities universe. For example, oil and gold, two of the most heavily traded commodities, receive essentially the same allocations in the ETF as more thinly traded corn, coffee and cocoa.
"Because of the equal weighting, GCC offers significant exposure to grains, livestock, and soft commodities and a lower energy weighting than many of its peers. In addition, GCC is rebalanced every day in order to maintain each commodity's weight as close to 1/17th of the total as possible," according to Greenhaven.
However, GCC's exposure to less popular commodities should not be understated. At least not when the iPath Dow Jones-UBS Coffee Total Return Sub-Index ETN (NYSEArca: JO) is this year's top-performing exchange traded product. [Coffee ETN Keeps on Surging]
And there is certainly nothing wrong with some exposure to corn, cattle and lean hogs. At least not this year when the relevant exchange traded products offering exposure to those commodities are soaring. [Livestock ETNs Impress]

Precious family heirlooms, some up to 85-years-old, were stolen in a burglary last month.
Thieves ransacked a three-bedroom house in Turpin Way, Wallington, and took jewellery from a retired couple while they were on holiday between December 4 and December 7.
The burglars broke in by forcing the front door. They searched the whole house and took a safe containing jewellery from the living room and other items from a bedroom.
The owners left the house with the lights off but came home to find them all on.
Items the burglars stole include a handmade 60-year-old, platinum and gold engagement ring featuring two baguette diamonds either side of a solitaire diamond, a crescent brooch with diamonds and sapphires on it, a bar shaped brooch with an aquamarine stone surrounded by seed pearls and three tie pins.
If you have any information about the break in or the stolen items you can call Sutton's burglary and robbery team on 020 8649 0777 or the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Victoria Azarenka holds court
WIMBLEDON, England -- A ripple of polite giggles reverberated through the press room. Or as polite as giggles can be.
The subject was drama, the person speaking was Victoria Azarenka and, well, need we say more? The two go together like grass courts and hay fever and tend to be mentioned in the same sentence. A lot. Hence the reaction to Azarenka's comments Monday, when she was asked if the recent verbal volley between defending champion Serena Williams and resident adversary Maria Sharapova might just work to her advantage this fortnight.
"I don't really like drama ... " Azarenka said. "I don't have drama in my life, really."
In truth, the idea that anything off the court might help No. 2 seed Azarenka or anyone else when it comes to playing Williams, now generally acknowledged as the most dominant tennis player on the planet, was just convenient fodder for Day 1 of these Wimbledon championships.
But it also worked nicely into the theme of the day as both Azarenka and Sharapova experienced a bit of their own drama in their first-round matches Monday: No. 3 seed Sharapova was pushed by 37th-ranked Kristina Mladenovic before closing out a 7-6 (5), 6-3 victory, and Azarenka injured her knee in an awkward split before prevailing 6-1, 6-2 over Maria Joao Koehler.
As is often the case, however, what was discussed after their matches proved most entertaining.
Azarenka has withdrawn or retired from four tournaments this year and 17 since the beginning of 2010, rarely with the same injury and often with ailments lasting no longer than a few days. This January alone, she pulled out of the Brisbane International semifinal against Williams, citing a toe infection -- caused by a bad pedicure, she said -- then was roundly criticized for her nearly 10-minute timeout during a semifinal victory over Sloane Stephens in the Australian Open.
In that one, Azarenka left the court after dropping serve and blowing five match points at 5-4 in the second set, first attributing the move to a panic attack, then to a rib injury, and two days later, to "a virus."
This time, Azarenka was up a set and 1-0 in the second against Koehler when she slipped on the baseline and collapsed in a sobbing heap. She took about a 10-minute break and continued with a wrap on her right knee.
"It happened so quick, my leg just kind of collapsed," Azarenka said. "I felt like my knee just turned the other way, and it was just so nasty. I was in such shock. For two minutes, I had such a consistent pain that it just completely freaked me out."
The extent of her injury, Azarenka said, won't be determined until further tests are done. But it seems doubtful that it will affect her given her optimism about the rest of the tournament.
Asked if her ongoing relationship with grass might require "counseling or divorce" (Wimbledon news conferences, the best in sports), Azarenka took exception, and rightly so, given her back-to-back semifinals appearances here. (Just because they're the best, doesn't mean they're always rational.)
"I mean, I like grass actually," she said. "At the beginning it was difficult to understand what kind of adjustments I need to do to play on that. But I think my game suits [grass] pretty well and I'm excited to be here. ... Maybe we'll see the ring on my finger after two weeks."
Resisting the urge to ask about Azarenka's budding engagement, the press and tabloid corps reserved a separate set of questions for Sharapova. Not surprisingly, they centered on her mini-feud with Williams.
Last we heard, Williams said she had apologized to Sharapova for comments in a recent magazine article in which she allegedly referred to Sharapova, which only added intrigue to the drama.
Did Williams, in fact, apologize? And, oh yes, what specifically did she apologize for saying? (A) Sharapova's boyfriend had a "black heart," (B) she was boring in interviews and/or (C) she was never going to be invited to the "cool parties." Sadly, we might never know, as Sharapova elected to take the admirable but oh-so-disappointing high road Monday.
"Honestly, I've said everything that I wanted to say about the issue," she said. "You know, Wimbledon started. This is my work. This is my job. I'd really appreciate it if we move on."
Three follow-up questions later, Sharapova said her refusal to comment further was not because she was afraid it would prove a distraction, but simply because Wimbledon is "one of the most incredible tournaments. ... That's the most important thing in my life right now."
Great answer. Unfortunately for Sharapova, it is unlikely that any controversy will prove distraction enough to derail Williams' 31-match winning streak. Or help either Sharapova (loser of her past 13 matches with Williams) or Azarenka (2-13 versus Williams).
Either way, Azarenka said, she's not getting involved in the drama.
"I don't have a problem with Maria or Serena in that particular case, so I'm out of that and I don't want to get involved," she said. "My personal life is my personal life. I don't like to comment on anybody else's personal life because it's their own business, and I'm minding my own business. We are here to play a tournament."
Yes, they are.

With Kevin Youkilis trade, Red Sox's long breakup continues
When Bobby Valentine stepped back into the tunnel behind the Boston Red Sox dugout during the seventh inning Sunday, general manager Ben Cherington told him, "There is a situation brewing."
That situation — of which the latest manifestation was Sunday's trade of Kevin Youkilis to the Chicago White Sox— has been brewing for a while. Not just since the rumors became rampant over the past several days that a Youkilis deal was imminent.
Not just since Valentine suggested in April that Youkilis didn't seem like the player he'd been for eight seasons, two World Series championships, three All-Star selections, a Gold Glove and the blue-collar efforts that earned him Sunday's standing ovations as he left the field.
MORE: Youkilis dealt to White Sox after teary finale
MORE: Jim Thome cashes in after Phillies walk off
This is another step in a culture change being orchestrated by the two men who briefly huddled in the cramped Fenway Park hallway with Youkilis two batters away from an at-bat against the Atlanta Braves.
Cherington and Valentine have enough understanding of the culture of this franchise and its fans to give Youkilis the proper exit; if he hadn't tripled so Valentine could send in Nick Punto as a pinch-runner, Youkilis would have taken his position at third base the next inning and been replaced then.
Either way, it was hugs, handshakes and an emotional curtain call before anyone involved knew for sure what was happening. And it was enough of a head start for Youkilis' locker to be empty, the nameplate removed by the time the clubhouse opened after the game.
But the situation is far more than Youkilis, whose career-worst .233 batting average pales in contrast to rookie Will Middlebrooks'.326 average and an on base-plus-slugging percentage nearly 300 points superior to Youkilis' OPS.
It even goes beyond the clubhouse culture questions that attracted much of the blame for last season's September collapse and led to Valentine bringing more sandpaper to Terry Francona's old manager's seat.
What Valentine and Cherington — replacing Chicago Cubs-bound Theo Epstein — inherited was a team they felt needed to get younger.
By the time Youkilis, 33, packed his bags Sunday, he was the second-oldest player in the regular lineup.
Only DH David Ortiz remains from Boston's curse-ending 2004 World Series championship team; only six others —Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury, Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz and Daisuke Matsuzaka— remain from the 2007 champions.
It's not a total reversal. It's a process more than a purge.
Youkilis likely doesn't qualify as done; he'll get regular duty to prove it on a team leading the American League Central. But he's at a point where the Red Sox got back a pitching prospect and utility player — and will eat most of Youkilis' salary.
Nor is Middlebrooks a certainty; it was mere months ago that his breakout 23-homer 2011 over three minor league levels was being weighed against a troubling 26-114 walk-strikeout ratio.
But if the Red Sox are going to guess wrong, they're going to err on the side of youth. If major league pitchers begin to find and exploit any of Middlebrooks' weaknesses, he's 23 and has time on his side. Right now, Youkilis is trying to find it.
And the real bottom line in a Red Sox season steeped in drama if not turmoil is that more than half the games remain.
Boston was a season-best four games over .500 after Sunday's victory, within two games of a playoff spot. The Red Sox have won nine of 11 and averaged 6.3 runs a game doing it. That's nearly a run and a half better than they were averaging before the current streak.
And they expect to get Beckett, Ellsbury and Carl Crawford off the disabled list soon.
So, as usual, there's something brewing in Boston.

After pairing up gospel singers Anthony Evans and Jesse Campbell in what host Carson Daly calls 'heavyweight battle', Xtina is mulling over which one should be sent home.
"The Voice" season 2 entered the battle round on Monday, March 5 and already Christina Aguilera was put in a difficult situation. The "Ain't No Other Man" songstress was forced to pick between Anthony Evans and Jesse Campbell who both blew away the judges/mentors.
Gospel singers Anthony and Jesse delivered a powerful performance of Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You", prompting host Carson Daly to call it "a heavyweight battle." Cee-Lo Green said he couldn't pick one, while Adam Levine and Blake Shelton said they chose Jesse, though the Maroon 5 frontman noted that he would've hated it to be Xtina at such moment.
"I am so upset right now that I have to make this decision," Xtina admitted, adding that this decision killed her. After mulling over it, the 31-year-old singer finally picked Jesse to be in the live shows later this season and sent Anthony home.
Earlier that night, she also pitted Chris Mann against Monique Benabou in a duet of Celine Dion's "The Power of Love". Cee-Lo and Adam were in favor of Chris, but Blake said he preferred Monique. Xtina sided with Cee-Lo and Adam, keeping Chris on the show.
Also sending two contestants home that night was Blake. The country crooner pitted Adley Stump against RaeLynn in a battle to sing Tom Petty's "Free Falling". Xtina and Cee-Lo declared their preference for Adley's rendition, but Adam thought RaeLynn showed a more unique performance. In the end, Blake agreed with Adam and kept RaeLynn on his team.
The "Honey Bee" hitmaker, whose wife Miranda Lambert served as one of the guest mentors along with the likes of Robin Thicke, Lionel Richie, Kelly Clarkson and Jewel Kilcher, put Jordis Unga and Brian Fuente in a face-off to deliver Alanis Morissette's "Ironic". Xtina and Adam chose Jordis. Blake agreed with them and sent home Brian.
Adam, meanwhile, had his proteges Tony Lucca and Chris Cauley battling it out in the performance of U2's "Beautiful Day". Xtina backed her former fellow Mouseketeer, Tony. Cee-Lo was on the same side with her, but Blake chose Chris. Adam eventually decided to keep Tony.
As for Cee-Lo, he wanted to see Cheesa and Angie Johnson in a battle to perform "Total Eclipse of the Heart". The judges were divided in their reviews, with Adam in favor of Cheesa, while Xtina and Blake chose Angie. The Gnarls Barkley member, however, picked Cheesa to stay on his team.

The objective of this intervention is to facilitate an understanding of multiperspectivity in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By using a the new media and interactive methods youths engage with different perspectives on the conflict.
The Workshop "Webquest Israel/Palestine" is taught in the form of a three-day workshop. In the project ' work on the topic of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is structured by a Webquest learning environment. In addition modules on the topics of prejudice/ racism as well as theater pedagogical methods are integrated in the workshop. The objective is to expand from an exploration of dates and facts of the conflict to an understanding of its emotional dimension. In the webquest the youths' get to know 15 people who are affected by the conflict, and they learn and discuss about their experiences, views, emotions, and motivations. In a subsequent step they relate this understanding to their own lives and the lives of their families and community.
For educators who want to work on a similar conflict constellation, but not the Israeli-Palestinian conflict itself, we also offer a webquest on the Muslim-Christian conflict in Indonesia: Webquest Indonesien.
Learning goals:
– Critical engagement with biased presentations of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and empowerment to arrive at independent opinions
– Development of analytic and critical thinking
– Reflection of prejudiced thinking – one's owns and others
This curriculum won the MediaMax Sonderpreis 2009 at the 9th Berlin Youth Forum.

SANTA MARIA, Brazil — The nightclub Kiss was hot, steamy from the press of beer-fueled bodies dancing close. The Brazilian country band on stage was whipping the young crowd into a frenzy, launching into another fast-paced, accordion-driven tune and lighting flares that spewed silver sparks into the air.
It was another Saturday night in Santa Maria, a university town of about 260,000 on Brazil's southernmost tip.
Then, in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, it turned into a scene of indescribable horror as sparks lit a fire in the soundproofing material above the stage, churning out black, toxic smoke as flames raced through the former beer warehouse, killing 231 people.
What a very sad and tragic story, another nightclub fire with only one exit. And set a blaze by sparks omitted by fireworks again. And with no fire alarm, I hope they throw the book at these Nightclub Owners. Maria-Lyn

Exclusive: Former Amazon UK managing director and ASOS Chairman on future of e-commerce
Current ASOS chairman: "It's not my problem to figure out how high-street retailers compete with e-commerce, but there's always a place for the good shops who look after their local customers"
This is a quickfire interview with former Amazon UK managing director, and current ASOS Chairman – Glasgow born Brian McBride.
What changes did you see during your time at Amazon.co.uk?
Bigger, faster, sharper. Into more and more categories. Much more respected by competitors, suppliers, press and Government.
What changes did you see in e-commerce over the past 5 years?
The trend has been continued growth of E Commerce at expense of High St retail. Driven by selection, price and availability all being great.
What's the future for online retail and e-commerce in the UK?
Future is bright. It will continue to grow. Don't confuse that with being easy, The weak will also be found out, the market is so sharp that you need to be customer-focussed and great at execution to survive.
Will books remain the primary market for Amazon?
Book are still very attractive and e-books are also very attractive. Future is a bit like the recent past I think, growing each category, adding on more Cloud computing offerings, being the best market-place out there for professional merchants.
What's your view on the demise of Waterstone's '3 for 2′ offers?
Pricing shouldn't be a stunt. We like to offer everyday great value, it builds better trust.
Is there still a place for brick and mortar bookstores on the high street?
Of course, there will always be a place for the good ones who look after their local customers.
What's your view on the future of the high street?
It's a tough place to be. Not my problem to figure out how they compete with Amazon!

Paying homage to Ham's humanity
Page Tools
Artist Lisa Roet's latest show, Astro-Chimp, pays homage to the African chimpanzee, Ham, America's first live being to enter space. Ham's 1961 journey lasted 16 minutes. It represented a turning point in the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union. And like Roet's decade of art preceding it, it explores the junctions and disjunctions between humans and monkeys.
Roet, 37, the recipient of last year's prestigious National Sculpture Prize for Political Ape, has been collaborating with zoos and primate research institutes worldwide since graduating from RMIT in 1987.
Her fascination in the area began as a child after seeing Planet of the Apes, which, through its depiction of a topsy-turvy world of tyrannical primates and oppressed humans, challenged the status quo. Wanting to study zoology, but realising her limitations in the sciences, she studied art and has, for 17 years, looked at the "satirical, scary cynicism about the superiority of human beings over animals" through sculpture, photographs, video installations and drawing.
In Political Ape, Roet made seven busts of chimpanzees in traditional bronze "to give them a stately appearance as well as draw them back to a human-like appearance without making them human"; they were exhibited in tandem with a sound show of chimpanzee voices she recorded at London Zoo. The work was based on Dutch primatologist Frans DeWaal's research into the social order, and language similarities with humans, among a bonobo chimpanzee colony.
Astro-Chimp, her 19th solo show, began as a series of drawings she started in 1998, based on the 1961 Life Magazine featuring Ham on the cover. Six years on, she is still impassioned as she details Ham's life.
"He was plucked from the African forest, he was made to wear a full space suit, put into a rocket - the Western world's pinnacle of achievement - and trained to respond to rewards," she says. "When he failed to follow orders, he was pinched by electrodes.
"After the journey, he was put in a Washington zoo and, when he died at 26 - half the lifespan of a chimpanzee - he was buried at the International Space Hall of Fame, New Mexico."
The show comprises drawings, bronzes, stained-glass images and minute ceramic works. Roet lives and works at St Andrew's Beach on the Mornington Peninsula. Her four charcoal drawings of Ham's fist "show his power and likeness to humanity". They are on hand-made silk paper which frays when rubbed, creating a fur-like effect.
The four bronze busts of Ham began in the studio, too, where Roet applied layers of clay to metal armature detailing Ham's facial expressions, based on photographs in the magazine. She then took clay castings of the death mask of a chimpanzee she had worked with at the Antwerp Zoo and incorporated them into the clay bust by placing the "impressions", like a skin, on to the modelled chimp faces.
From this mould she made a wax, which she reworked extensively to create different facial expressions, something she describes as "a basic animation technique to place movement and life back into Ham".
The originals were then taken to Coates & Wood Foundry in Collingwood, where they were painted with liquid rubber and cut into sections. Once dry, they were pulled away from the original clay and painted with petrochemical wax to capture the fine detail.
They were then reassembled with nuts and bolts and molten wax and poured into the moulds until they reached about six millimetres - the final thickness of the bronze. The wax impressions were later covered in ceramic and put in the kiln until the wax melted, ran out and another hollow was created for the bronze liquid to be poured into. The ceramic shell was then chiselled off and the bronze reworked to its final stage.
An imposing 1.6-metre bronze depiction of Ham's forefinger takes centre stage in the exhibition. Roet says she used bronze "because fingers are direct, political, used for touch, used to make buildings, computers, send rockets into space".
Roet also uses stained glass because it's a traditional medium, like bronze. It has an association with monumental buildings in which prominent historical characters are revered, and also because it lent itself to the manipulated comic images of scientists and apes she had chosen to give Ham's life "a comic, surreal and ludicrous element".
Roet's range of intellectual, emotional and humorous responses to the simian-human interface is thorough, a legacy of the years she has spent working and researching the area. After graduating from RMIT, she headed for Europe for four years where she settled in Berlin, living "a lonely, focused and exciting life" drawing elephants at the Berlin Zoo.
Her daily observations of the animals spawned her interest in the trunk, which, like the apes' fingers and hands she has subsequently centred on, symbolised touch and sensitivity, as well as communication.
At a Brussels market she found pornographic slides of a man in a gorilla suit cavorting with naked blondes, which led to Beauty and the Beast, a show comprising photographs of chimpanzees looking at the backdrops of the slides; she also swapped the blondes for Charlton Heston (who was the astronaut unable to communicate with the apes in Planet of the Apes).
In the late '90s, Roet spent two, 10-week stints at the Language Research Centre at Georgia University, Atlanta, where she worked with a researcher and started communicating with chimpanzees through a computer. The researcher, who wore a Bunnyman costume, bribed the animals with chocolate and drinks supplied by the companies sponsoring the experiments. "They loved the Bunnyman," she says. "They became hysterical when he appeared. It was like Santa Claus coming to town, a scientific farce."
What culminated was Ape and the Bunnyman, exhibited in New York. It featured photographs of the researcher and the chimp. Roet says it was "to show how ridiculous the scientists were in the process".
Astro-Chimp is at Karen Woodbury Gallery, Richmond, until September 4.

News Release
UM Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies Receives $1 Million Gift
MIAMI, January, 2013 —George Feldenkreis, member of the University of Miami Board of Trustees and prominent businessman, has made a $1 million gift to the UM Sue and Leonard Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies and the George Feldenkreis Judaic Studies Program in the College of Arts and Sciences. This significant Momentum2 campaign contribution builds on Feldenkreis's previous $2 million of support to both entities.
Founded in 2004 the Feldenkreis Judaic Studies Program is a broad, flexible, interdisciplinary program designed for undergraduates to gain an understanding of Jewish civilization and its diverse cultural experiences. The program, which is non-theological in orientation, is an academic exploration of the multi-faceted, socio-historical, 4,000-year record of the Jewish people. Courses highlight the variety of cultural, political, social, and religious experiences of Jews in different times and places, providing a strong foundation for advanced academic study, professional careers in a variety of fields, and a more complex and rich understanding of the world.
"My hope is that this additional gift will allow the Miller Center and the George Feldenkreis Program in Judaic Studies to continue to impart the wisdom and richness of Jewish culture and history and Jewish experiences through the ages," Feldenkreis said.
Feldenkreis, chairman and CEO of Perry Ellis International, arrived in Miami from Havana, Cuba, in 1961, with his family and only $700. In 1967 he and his late brother founded Supreme International clothing company, which would evolve into Perry Ellis International in 1999. Feldenkreis strongly believes in philanthropy and feels that individuals who are financially successful have the obligation to support their community. The Feldenkreis family supports various organizations and groups, including the United Way, where Feldenkreis is a Million Dollar Roundtable member of United Way of Miami-Dade's Tocqueville Society.
"We are, as always, very grateful to George Feldenkreis for his generosity and personal support of the Judaic Studies Program," said Haim Shaked, director of the Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies. "Thanks to his ongoing personal commitment and keen interest in our academic work, we have been able to enrich the lives and academic experiences of more students and members of the UM and general communities than we ever thought possible."
Feldenkreis, who joined the University of Miami Board of Trustees in 1997, has chaired its master planning committee and served on its executive committee. He also supports the College of Engineering, the Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, and the Student-Athlete Scholarship Fund at UM.

A kind of jellyfish called the Portuguese Man-o'-War has been spotted. Their sting is very dangerous and can even hurt when they're dead.
They're not normally found in waters round the UK. It is thought warmer weather could be attracting them.
Experts say people should keep an eye out for them while out on the beach.
The Portuguese Man-o'-War isn't actually a jellyfish, but is instead a lot of tiny creatures called hydrozoans, which live at the bottom of a clear sac, which floats.
Underneath the sac are tentacles, where the creature's stings are, and these are used to catch food.
If you do get stung - you should put the stung area into really warm or really cold water - and get to a doctor.

Finding opportunities to say "rubbish."
I'm really into metal-core right now but really I like anything I can sing. I like intensity and musicality.
Indian food is my favorite. I do like sushi but I will take a good hamachi kama over that any day. You don't know what that is? Shame...
I don't really watch TV but I am watching Game of Thrones and I do take suggestions.
Bonus favorite: My favorite podcast is 99% Invisible, about architecture and design. The Cracked podcast is also good, and so is Slate's The Gist.

The 19-year-old linebacker from Carol City, Fla., is being held without bond in the Broward County Jail until a hearing Friday, accused of violating his probation in a 2002 burglary case.
He was charged this week with one felony — malicious damage to fire extinguishers — and misdemeanors of criminal mischief and battery stemming from a raucous recruiting trip to the University of Florida.
With that case came more revelations: that Williams has been arrested 10 times since 1999, back to when he was 14 years old. It was news to Miami, as well as Florida and Florida State, which also recruited him, and Miami athletics director Paul Dee conceded the Hurricanes' background check was "insufficient" and the process needed to be improved.
Florida athletics director Jeremy Foley said the school doesn't do background checks or delve into juvenile records but that may be reconsidered.
"All that stuff falls in the category of, 'Those are things you are going to look at in the future, what can you do in the future to try to prevent it from happening?' " Foley said. "But how can you find out as much about each recruit you bring on campus?"
Indeed, Williams' case is sending ripples nationwide.
College recruiters are delving ever deeper into players' character and academic records, in no small part because of heightened scrutiny and the potential for exactly the kind of public relations hit Miami is experiencing. Who has been in trouble? Who might be prone to problems once they're on campus and playing in the school's colors?
"We're all aware of the microscope we're under nowadays," Oregon coach Mike Bellotti says. "Also, we want good people on our team. I think there's a much greater awareness of the positive peer pressure on your team to do things right, and you don't want to bring a (problem) kid in.
"We all do as much research as we can. You try to talk with coaches and family members and opposing coaches and counselors. If you do your homework, it's hard for me to believe some of those things wouldn't come out."
Oregon, for example, took a second look at one out-of-state receiver prospect who was impressive on film and got good initial reviews from family members and a coach. Bellotti grew suspicious about the player's eagerness to back off an early commitment to another school and move a considerable distance from home, and he and his staff sought out the player's high school head coach and position coach. "They said, 'No way.' "
The player, whom he declined to identify, could wind up playing against the Ducks, but Bellotti says he has no regrets.
"I think we all do our homework," Bellotti says. "But stuff can still slip through because of all the right-to-privacy acts. There's a lot of information that doesn't have to be given out and is not public information. Unless a coach or a counselor or a family member or friend of the family or somebody is willing to divulge it, you may not know certain things about people."
Schools can dig, though only so far.
"You're entitled to uncover publicly available information," says Matt Mitten, a law professor who heads the National Sports Law Institute at Marquette University. "But if you cross the line and start using inappropriate or illegal means to discover private information, there is the catch of legal liability. You can see a kid saying, 'Hey, I had this very valuable scholarship for potentially four years. And because you invaded my privacy, I didn't get it. And therefore you owe me the economic value of that.'
"Plus, what typically happens is word gets out, and then no other school is going to offer the student a scholarship or a chance to be on the team. You have to be real careful."
Although Williams was 17 when he was charged in July 2002 with stealing $3,800 worth of stereo equipment from a Pembroke Pines, Fla., store, he was charged as an adult. It was in that case that he drew probation, which he's accused of violating in the latest charges.
Williams' nine other legal run-ins were juvenile offenses and the dispositions were sealed. However, Paul Lazarus, Williams' attorney, says information on arrest records is available on a Broward County Web site for a $23 fee, although the resolution of cases is not disclosed.
That apparently is how Williams' lengthy arrest record became public.
Lazarus said it's too early to tell if the once blue-chip prospect will wind up at Miami. Dee has said the school still is evaluating whether its scholarship offer will be revoked.
"Miami has a difficult decision to make, and Willie is appreciative they're taking a wait-and-see attitude rather than slam the door in his face as other schools might," Lazarus says.
"I realize they need more facts, but there's no point to engage in dialogue with them at this time. At the appropriate time, if I think it will serve him, I will attempt to talk with (school officials)."
While Dee has acknowledged lapses in Miami's background checks, Lazarus says, "I've heard (Miami) was aware of some of (Williams' transgressions), but I haven't heard who knew about them so I don't know what that means. Maybe other schools were aware, too."
Miami's admissions form asks a student to reveal if he or she has been convicted of a crime, but many athletes don't submit applications until after they've signed letters-of-intent. Williams signed his letter last Wednesday, the same day the latest complaints became public.
"The letter-of-intent says the student will enroll, contingent upon being accepted," says Ed Gillis, Miami's dean of admissions. He said he couldn't disclose whether Williams has submitted an admissions form.
Gillis says "we would hope" a prospective student would answer truthfully about being convicted of a crime, even if it was a juvenile offense.
