- AUD slides to $US1.0454

- Wall Street Week Ahead: Bears hibernate as stocks near record highs
Oil traders sold crude to book profits on Friday after strong data from major economies increased optimism about the state of the world economy and underpinned gains made during the week.
Brent crude oil futures ended the day unchanged, while US crude dropped, but posted its seventh straight weekly price increase, the longest such streak since early 2009.
Data published by the Munich-based Ifo think tank on Friday showed Germany's business morale rose to its highest level in more than half a year, indicating Europe's largest economy is gaining momentum.
News that European banks will repay 137 billion euros of emergency loans added support as investors took the move as a sign that the European banking system was recovering strength.
"We were up earlier on improving investor confidence in Germany and the ECB's announcement that they were going to help some of the financial institutions repay some of the loans earlier, which helped support the euro and pushed buying into the oil markets," said Gene McGillian, analyst at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
Brent settled unchanged from Thursday at $US113.28 a barrel, off the session high of $US113.84. US crude fell 7 cents to settle at $US95.88, off a high of $US96.56. Crude was up 0.3 per cent on the week.
Gasoline was the biggest daily gainer in the oil complex, rising 0.54 per cent, while heating oil declined despite cold weather gripping the Northeastern United States, a major consuming region for heating oil.
"One way of looking at this is as some rotation between markets. Seasonally, people might be giving up a little bit on the heating oil story and shifting toward gasoline, anticipating rising seasonal demand as we move into the spring," said Tim Evans, energy analyst at Citi Futures Perspective in New York.
Inventory data released on Thursday revealed lower-than-expected gasoline stocks in the United States, which Evans said could be supporting prices.
Traders were also monitoring the Seaway crude oil pipeline after it was forced this week to curtail deliveries to its Gulf Coast terminal, potentially reducing flows out of the delivery point for West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures at Cushing, Oklahoma.
Seaway operator Enterprise Products Partners said on Friday deliveries to its Katy, Texas, terminal in the Houston area were normal.

Vogelsong comes out on short end of pitchers' duel
Offense gets shut out by Wainwright as Giants maintain NL West lead
SAN FRANCISCO -- Ryan Vogelsong reminded observers what the bottom line is in competitive athletics.
Following the Giants' 2-0 loss Wednesday night to the St. Louis Cardinals, Vogelsong could have been expected to engage in the usual postgame pas de deux with reporters, who would ask him charitable questions about his earnest yet luckless performance. Vogelsong would play his part by saying all the right things, delivering an honest self-evaluation while insisting that he can do better.
However, when asked to assess the stuff he displayed against the Cardinals, Vogelsong cut the routine short.
"It doesn't matter anymore. It's a loss," he said. "I'm tired of talking about stuff. It's all about wins and losses now, getting to the playoffs. It doesn't matter what the stuff is."
Vogelsong began to apologize for his abruptness. Then he held his ground. "It's just kind of how I feel right now. Just trying to be honest," he said.
Such candor was appropriate. The Giants squandered an opportunity to gain a game on second-place Los Angeles in the National League West standings and maintained their half-game lead. Vogelsong's pitching kept the Giants competitive, but they absorbed their third shutout defeat in a 2-7 homestand, primarily because St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright limited them to four hits in 7 2/3 innings while becoming the NL's first 11-game winner.
Wainwright compensated for the aberration of May 30, when he yielded seven runs and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings in a 9-4 loss to the Giants at St. Louis. Though he silenced the Giants' hitters, he didn't mute his praise for them.
"I thought they battled me very tough all night long," Wainwright said. "They didn't swing at anything out of the zone all night. They took a lot of really close pitches and fouled off some tough pitches. They did a great job of getting my [pitch] count up early."
Giants manager Bruce Bochy praised the Giants' industriousness. He would have appreciated more results in the form of base hits, however.
"It's nice the guys were grinding out some at-bats, but it's all about putting some men on base, creating those chances and somebody's got to come through," Bochy said.
Help is on the way, given first baseman Brandon Belt's expected return from the disabled list on Friday. Belt, who hit nine homers before being sidelined May 9 with a broken left thumb, will reinforce the middle the batting order.
Bochy remains concerned with the top of the order. With center fielder and leadoff hitter Angel Pagan still enduring back pain, Bochy indicated that he might bat Hunter Pence first and install Belt in the No. 2 spot when he returns. Gregor Blanco, who has replaced Pagan at leadoff but is batting .140 (6-for-43) in his last 12 games, likely will be reassigned to a lower position in the order.
"Gregor's just a little passive," Bochy said. "He took some pretty good pitches."
Vogelsong (5-5) expressed dogged confidence in his teammates' ability to generate offense. "You either get through it and get stronger or you don't get through it and finish in last," he said. "We'll get through it."
If they don't, Vogelsong's on a collision course with more frustration. He allowed both of St. Louis' runs and six hits while walking one and striking out eight. In his last two starts, Vogelsong has yielded three runs in 13 innings, walked one and struck out 15. He was charged with losses on both occasions.
At least Vogelsong sustained the recent excellence of the Giants starters, who have combined for a 1.76 ERA in the last seven games.
"We're getting that consistency with the starters and that's what it's going to take for us to get on a roll," Bochy said.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The No.17-ranked Saint Leo women's tennis team (13-4) blanked the Lindenwod University Lions (1-9), 9-0, Saturday afternoon at the Saint Leo Tennis Center. The win ties a season-high four- consecutive wins, and also stands as the third shutout of the campaign.
Saint Leo used a pair of shutouts on the doubles side to cruise to a 3-0 advantage, before blanking the opposing Lions in four-of-six singles matches.
Saint Leo's No.2 and No.3 doubles tandem did not let up a single point in their matches as the teams of Jeannette McDonald and Adrianna Daszkiewicz, in addition to Maria Benkirane and Selma Hidass posted 8-0 shutouts, respectively.
On the singles side, the Lions saw dominating performances out of each of their six competitors with one, three, four, and five singles collecting shutout victories. The region's third-ranked singles player, Laura Kemkes, posted the first of four victories, which were followed by landslides triumphs from Benkirane, Daszkiewicz, and McDonald.
Additionally, Benkirane finished-off the unblemished as she did surrender a single point in two singles matches.
For complete results, be sure to visit the box score.
The Lions will return to action on Thursday, March 29, when they host nationally-ranked Florida Southern in a key Sunshine State Conference showdown. Doubles is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m.

I wanted "HUNTING THE AMERICAN WEST" by Richard Rattenbury. I saw it on the newsletter I get from the Boone & Crocket Club. Got it today and it is a winner!! Really worth the $$$. Its like most coffee table books with lots of photos, but everything is hunting and almost all big game from 1800 to 1900. lots of text too. Now all I have to do is read it.

Zucchini Carpaccio with Lemon, Herbs, and Goat Cheese
Even though I'm fairly committted to reading other blogs looking for South Beach Diet phase one recipes for the monthly phase one recipe round-ups, at the end of the month I'm always surprised by how many great-sounding phase one recipes I find.

Thank you all so much for the wonderful customer service you provided with our recent purchase. That kind of service is hard to find in a company these days. As promised, here are some pictures of what we did. Even though I don't think it was right color, I think this color is better. My wife also agrees after talking to several people. Thank you all so much, and I am looking for forward to enjoying mantainance free mulch for years to come! I will definitely be recommending your company to anyone looking for mulch.-Kevin and Kelli U.

A TEACHING assistant has been accused of having sex with a schoolboy.
Elaine McKay sent the 15-year-old compromising pictures of herself before the two allegedly had sex, a court heard today.
Explicit video messages were also exchanged between the teenager and the 58-year-old, a jury heard.
Chelmsford Crown Court was also told the alleged relationship came to light when the teenager showed some of the pictures to his friends.
McKay denies having sex with the teenager but has admitted the exchange of explicit photographs.
The court heard she worked as a teaching assistant at Clacton Coastal Academy.
Richard Scott, prosecuting, said: "They had perfectly consensual sex. The only problem was he was less than 16 at the time and she was in her late 50s."
McKay, of Banister Close, Clacton, denies two charges of sexual activity with the teenager and another of causing him to look at an image of sex activity.
The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2012 and May last year.
•The trial continues.

Pimp My Artwork 051: The High Priestess
The day I met Baby Dee I was feeling rather shy. I had just had drinks with an ex boyfriend and running very very late. I slipped into the show and found my seat. Sxip had mentioned I should see her live to get her full presence. Luckily she had only just started. I sipped white wine and immediately fell in love. Sxip waved from across the room.
A few weeks earlier Sxip had suggested her for the deck. I usually don't paint people I don't know unless it's for an illustration job but this felt right. Also I knew somewhere down the line I would end up meeting her. A few weeks later a rather shy and tipsy Katelan did.
In order to really experience Dee, you have to see her live. There's something incredibly magical that happens when she sets foot on the stage. It's kind of like having someone come in and take you by the hand, reach into your chest, and take all the stitches out of your heart. Then take the rubber bands and tape and staples out, pour a little honey on it, and hand it back to you saying. "You know they heal themselves if you just let them." She's filled with deep knowledge and experience. She's someone who has lived and will keep living with love and compassion in her heart even when life is bittersweet. She was and is the High Priestess. By sharing her music, she brings you to self awareness.
We ended up going to the Anyway Cafe after the show. Now not many people know this but the Anyway Cafe is the place that made me rediscover my love for NYC. Years ago I would stop in for breakfast sipping coffee and writing in my journals. I told this to Dee as I was now coming out of my shyness. "Oh we must have missed each other." She said. "I was here every night." And she began to tell tales of her time in New York City.
The High Priestess tells us to take a moment when making decisions. We all have choices. It's about holding back on acting on that until you have received all the information. This involves going within, acknowledging the sacred and profane. She wants you to gain knowledge through experience, through the spiritual, the physical, the secret, and the self. This will not always be happy. Life does not always provide you with a clear path. She is the guide that teaches us about intuition, mediumship, psychic powers, and secret knowledge. Where the Magician reveals to us what tools we have, the High Priestess keeps things hidden behind the veil. the Magician tells us to verbalize our thoughts, the High Priestess urges us to silently reflect on feelings and focus on intuition.
She is the complementary card to the Magician, Hierophant, and the Hermit. She is the partner to the Hierophant, together they preserve secret knowledge and traditions passed from teacher of the oracle to beneficiary. She is also the natural moonlight to the Hermit's manmade lantern.
The Monotropia Uniflora is courtesy of Jim Shirey. From the first time I saw this plant I knew we were kindred spirits. "This is your flower." Sxip wrote sending me images his father had taken. And it was. Monotropia Uniflora is called "Indian Pipe" or "Ghost Flower". Sxip sent me a little something on them. "Indian Pipe lives at the connection of the vast fungal network (that looks like a neural network in the soil in the woods and the roots of trees. (Paul Stamets an amazing scientist I met at TED believes the forest is thinking) No chloroform. Ghosts. They live at the node of communication and draw nutrients from there. My father believes they
will discover they regulate how chemical information passes between the fungal brain and the trees."
Jim on Monotropia Uniflora:
"I kept going back over and over to find the "perfect" flower. of course, they are all perfect and I know it, so I am really just looking for the one that seems perfect on at that moment. it's a bit like going in to a crowd of people and someone just catches your eye and you start up a conversation. Except that this conversation takes you into another world. and this particular flower was pink and lit by the sunlight. I took this shot after the light passed and I'd calmed down."

Mentos geyser
This activity is so much fun, you're kids will think you're the coolest parent ever! This activity is probably best done outside as it will create a world of mess, but loads of FUN!
Number of players:
What you need:
- Roll of Mentos
- 2 litre bottle of carbonated soda
- Wide open space
This activity is probably best done outside - there will be a mess of sticky soda so prepare yourself.
First, open the bottle of soda.
Place the bottle on flat ground so that it will not tip.
Unwrap the whole roll of Mentos.
The goal is to drop all of the Mentos into the bottle of soda at the same time (which is harder than you think).
One easy way is to roll a piece of sturdy paper into a tube just big enough to hold the loose Mentos - make sure it can fit through the top of the bottle.
Have everyone stand back and then quickly drop all of the Mentos into the bottle at the same time and RUN!
The soda will erupt straight up in the air and your children will forever think you're cool!
You can do this as many times as you're willing to spray down the area that is drenched.

Queen Elizabeth II listened to the Qur'an at Bursa Green Mosque in Bursa where she went during her Turkey visit. The Queen received information about the mosque and she was also given a Qur'an as a present by Bursa Mufti. Queen Elizabeth listened to Surah Rahman. Surah Rahman is the 55th Surah of the Qur'an. This Surah relates the blessings and beauties of Paradise, the events that will take place on Judgment Day and Eternal Hell, which has been prepared for unbelievers.
Certainly, it is quite pleasant to witness Queen Elizabeth's interest and admiration like this towards Islam as well as Turkish world.

Press conference: Security Council President Wittig presents program of work for September
Press conference: Security Council President Wittig presents program of work for September
(near verbatim transcript)
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,
it's good to see you here. Thank you for your interest in the work of the Security Council. It's a pleasure to brief you on our agenda for the following month. It will be a busy month. We have a rather compressed agenda because the work of the Security Council in this month also partly coincides with the opening of the General Assembly, as you know. The lime-light in the week of the 25th is on the leaders of the member states who will debate issues in the General Assembly.
I want to lead you through the program and I want to start with the priorities of the German Presidency, two regional issues and one thematic issue that we have specifically on our mind as a priority of my country.
The first is, once again, the change in the Arab world. We will organize a high-level meeting on 26th of September in the Council during the GA week. That should once again address the various conflicts and developments in recent years in the Arab world – with many issues that kept us busy, some contentious, some more in agreement with each other. We want to focus specifically on the emerging role of the Arab League as a significant regional actor and contributor to conflict resolution.
The Arab League has undergone a remarkable development over the last two years. It is without any doubt a first rate regional actor with important decisions and resolutions, contributing to the resolution of conflicts. We want to acknowledge this emerging role and we want to explore the institutional ties between the Arab League and the United Nations. That should be one of the focuses of this high-level meeting. We will have two briefings: The Secretary-General of this organisation and the Secretary-General of the Arab League, Mr El-Araby and the 15 member states of the Security Council will then pronounce themselves. The meeting will be presided over by Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle. Most of the delegations will probably be represented by their foreign ministers. There are some who will be represented by their head of state. That is on the 26th September.
The other regional issue that is very much on our mind, not least because Germany is the pen holder in Security Council, is Afghanistan. We once again want to address the challenges of the transition process in Afghanistan and the challenges of the UN mission there on the 20th of this month. Afghanistan has been entering what we call a decade of transformation after the Bonn conference, which was a landmark event followed up by a series of conferences in Chicago, Kabul and Tokyo. We want to take stock of the process of transition and transformation and also explore the role of UNAMA in that context – an important mission that will rather increase than decrease in importance as we go along in that process of transformation of Afghanistan.
We have one thematic issue that is very close to our hearts and that is the issue of children in armed conflict. You might know that this is the only humanitarian issue in the Security Council that has its own structure. We have a working group entirely devoted to the issue of children in conflicts and I have the honour to preside over that working group. Last year, when we held the Presidency in July, we have taken the protection agenda forward with a new resolution, enhancing the field of the UN and enlarging the so-called list of "naming and shaming". This year we will once again open the floor of the Security Council for all member states to pronounce themselves on that important issue. We want to focus particularly on the issue of accountability for persistent perpetrators, persistent violators of the rights of the child – be them individuals, rebel groups or governments as they are listed in the annual report of the Secretary-General. So this is an important humanitarian issue that is very close to our heart.
Other regional or country specific situations: Syria will be very much on our mind. There's no formal agenda item for it this month. You know that UNSMIS expired last month, so we do not have the regular reporting system anymore. Yet Syria will be on our minds. I met yesterday – first thing in the Presidency – Lakhdar Brahimi, who was kind enough to see me in the morning. We discussed his new mission. He addressed the General Assembly so you know how he outlined his assignment. We discussed possible interactions with the Security Council and we agreed that we would explore the possibility to have him in the Security Council once he has completed his trip to the region. I once again expressed to him the support of the Security Council for his difficult job and I'm sure we will have an opportunity to interact with him in this month.
Sudan and South Sudan is one of the recurring conflicts that kept us busy over the last months and years. We'll start with a briefing tomorrow on Sudan and South Sudan by SESG Haile Menkerios, who will brief us on the state of play in this timeline we are going through. You might remember that the AU, endorsed by the Security Council, decided on a timeline for the two parties to the conflict to resolve their many outstanding issues. The timeline was not met, it expired on the 2nd of August but it was then extended to the 22nd of September and so we are in the middle of that new timeline. We will see tomorrow where we are standing. It will come up once again on the 20th of this month.
Sahel and the situation in Mali: this is a very important emerging conflict that is high on the radar screen of many countries, not only in the vicinity of the Sahelregion but beyond. We know that especially in the north there's an explosive situation with terrorist affiliated groups, Salafia groups, that create tension there. So there is a great concern and apprehension that the crisis in Mali contaminates the neighbouring countries, something we take very seriously. You might know that the Secretary-General has been entrusted with presenting a comprehensive Sahel strategy. On the 17th of this month we will hear from the Secretariat where we are standing in the preparation and implementation of that strategy. That leads up to a Sahel summit, not of the Security Council but at the margins of the General Assembly in the GA week, around the 26th of September. In the Security Council everybody agrees that there is a need for comprehensive action including the regional organisations ECOWAS, the AU and the neighbourhood countries.
We will follow up on events in Libya, in Yemen, Guinea-Bissau – all conflicts that have kept us busy over the last months. We will renew mandates of the missions of the United Nations in Sierra Leone and Liberia – two countries that we visited as a Council in June of this year and they deserve our continued and sustained attention. And then last, but not least, we have Iran and the sanctions regime against the government of Iran on our list here. My colleague, the chair of the Iran sanctions committee will report to us on the state of the implementation of the sanctions. That is usually the occasion for the Security Council members to pronounce themselves on the issue of the nuclear programme of Iran – and that will happen also on 20th of this month.
I think I will stop here and give you the opportunity to ask questions if you have any."
[Q. on Syria]
Wittig:"Your question corrobates what I said before: Syria will continue to be on our mind and you are right, the situation in terms of violent clashes – of first and foremost the Assad security forces – is dramatic. The refugee crisis is dramatic as we heard last week in the Security Council. No, the situation couldn't be more concerning and dramatic. Yet the Security Council is divided over many issues. We know where the fault lines are. We deplore this. All Council members are not happy about the lack of unity in the Council. It is certainly to the detriment of this body and the United Nations in general that we could not come to an agreement. But it doesn't make sense to gloss over it.
Many hopes are now pinned to the new Joint Special Representative. He has been very mindful of not raising expectations that he cannot fulfill. I share this concern that he might be overburdened with expectations for a sudden change. There's unity in the Council on lending support for Lakhdar Brahimi. But he is, and I think that is what we have to understand as dramatic as the situation on the ground is, he is in an exploration phase, where his leverage is, where he can find an opening – and we should give him that time.
Once again I would be the last not to deplore the inaction of the Council. You might know that there were three resolutions on the table. We helped to draft them, we cosponsored them, and some members of the Council vetoed them. And that we deplore – but we have to find a common ground in the future and this is very much on the mind of the Council members."
[Q. on Syria debate during the GA week]
Wittig:"Leaders will surely discuss this intensely during their bilaterals here and I'm sure also in our high-level meeting that we organize for the 26th in the Security Council. There will be Council members who will speak out on Syria. We don't want it to be a very acrimonious or contentious meeting. And we don't expect it to be. But of course many members will feel that they cannot address the Council on issues of the Middle East without being very clear about Syria. As I said, we would support any concerted action in the Council if it would be meaningful and I agree with you the price of your lacking unity has to be paid by the Syrian people and that's most deplorable.
[Q. on main GA themes]
Wittig: "The President of the General Assembly gave some some lead questions to the members adressing the General Assembly. This is just a guidance and I think the head of delegations will adress a whole range of issues according to where they hail from. But, I think it's safe to say, the big issues of the Middle East and that includes Iran, will be very high on the agenda, the situation in Afghanistan, the big African conflicts that I, in part, mentioned: Somalia, Sahel, Congo, Sudan and a host of other issues that I cannot fully enumerate – they will all figure very prominently in the speeches.
[Q. on various Syria meetings outside the Secuirty Council.]
Wittig: "I would say there is a complementarity of formats here. As I said the Security Council has not been united on crucial questions to deal with the Syrian crisis. But that doesn't mean that we simply cease to discuss this crisis and I wouldn't exclude that we in the future can once again be united. You have the Groups of Friends of Syria, yes, some Council members are active in that group, my country belongs to that group, there is the Action Group, the P5, then there are other configurations of a regional nature. I wouldn't see that necessarily as taking away the importance of the Security Council but hopefully – in the best case – those efforts can come together. But I admit we are not there yet."
[Q. on refugees]
Wittig: "You mentioned the refugee issue. And I want to tell you that in my country as in other countries, the people feel for the refugees. It's a big humanitarian crisis. How can we not feel compassion with the victims of that violence? So people in my country ask: "How can we help them?" And the answer is that the priority should be help for the refugees on the ground, be it in Syria itself or be it in neighbouring countries where hundreds of thousands now sought refuge in camps. This is our prioritiy, we have been very generous in contributing financially. We are contributed tens of millions of dollars to the international efforts. So this is the state of play. The refugee crisis concerns us, moves our citizens but we want to help them in the region first and foremost.
[Q. on risk of genozide]
Wittig: "I am speaking in my national capacity now. We have been warning all along, since the outset of that crisis, of an intensification of killing and of ethnic tensions. That was our warning and that's why we felt it so urgent that at the inception of this crisis something meaningful is done. I think the responsibility for this escalation of violence including the ethnic dimension lies squarly with President Assad and his secuirty forces. He'll have to be held accountable one day for that failure to stop the killing and initiate a meaningful process of transition.
[Q. on German tenure on the Security Council]
Wittig: "Look, I am not frustrated, quite to the contrary, I am full of energy to lead the Council through a successful, productive month of September. This is not a time to draw a balance, this will come later."
[Q. on Iran sanctions]
Wittig: "The Security Council adopted four resolutions, imposing sanctions on the Iranian government or affiliated institutions. The European Union imposed additional sanctions. Those are targeted sanctions, very targeted sanctions of individuals and personnel. They are not supposed to hit the average Iranian and so far I think the various bodies have managed to avoid hitting the Iranian population. Those are sanctions as far as the Security Council is concerned, mostly with relevance for the proliferation. And that's what we took great care of. So my answer is: the sanctions that the Security Council – mostly in great unanimity – decided upon are targeted sanctions to signal to the Iranian government to heed calls and the legal obligations of the Security Council – and not hitting the population.
[Q. on Mali and Somalia]
Wittig: "On Mali, you might remember that the Council in August discussed the plans of ECOWAS in a preliminary way to send out a couple of thousand military personnel to Mali. There was a frank discussion, there were remaining question marks on the size, feasibility and on the consent of the Malian authorities including the military. Now we are reading that information you just cited and I think it's now for the African actors to follow up on this. We don't know yet whether the Malian consent has been officially communicated to the ECOWAS authorities. I think that has to be taken forward now by the actors immediately concerned. It'll give us an occasion on the 17th to take it up, maybe in a slightly modified form in the light of the news that you just quoted.
On Somalia: we've been hearing Augustine Mahiga last month on the situation in Somalia. It was a rather upbeat briefing with a couple of good news among rather dire facts on the ground. One piece of good news was that AMISOM has made some headway in reconquering territory and also stemming back the influence of Al-Shabab. It's now too early to comment on those recent skirmishes, I would reserve my judgement on that."
[Q: reform of the Security Council]
Wittig: "Well, I don't want to comment on what participants in the NAM-summit said about the Security Council, I wasn't there, so I cannot really comment on that. Our position is very well known, we are part of a reform-minded group that wants to reform the Security Council but quite frankly speaking – I'm ready to discuss this with you one-on-one – I think this should be a discussion about the work of the Security Council in the coming month, so let's not confound the things here, but I'm more than ready to discuss this with you."
[Q. on Mali & Middle East debate]
Wittig: "The first was on Mali and on the Middle East on the 17th. Yes, that's the usual routine discussion on the situation in the Middle East that's focusing on the first Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the situation in Lebanon. Second question: Mali is part and parcel of the Sahel discussion and third question..."
[Q. on Brahimi]
Wittig: "…as I said we are in a very preliminary phase of our interaction with Mr. Brahimi. So I am rather hesitant in this point in committing Mr Brahimi; first he has to start his work of exploring opportunities and then we see whether we find a suitable date to hear him in the Council and then we take it from there with what Mr Brahimi thinks fit and what we as a Council decide. But I'm sure the Council is a very transparent council and very little remains secret from you, so you will be probably comprehensively briefed afterwards."
[Q. on Brahimi]
Wittig: "I agree with you that Mr. Brahimi brings with him an enormous wealth of experience outside and inside of this organization. He has a lot of credentials also concerning the region, mind you that he was one of the decisive architects of the Taif agreement that ended the Lebanese civil war. He has been serving in the conflict resolution of the most contractible issues that this organization has to offer, so he is really a heavy weight and I think we all have to trust him."
[Q. on Brahimi/Syria]
Wittig: "What we try to tackle is to facilitate a decrease of violence and then try to find the entry point of a meaningful, inclusive transition towards a more democratic, pluralistic society. That is our aim and that has been our aim in the past. As I said, we are not being very operational right now in the Security Council. It's our mindset to achieve that eventually – and hopefully Mr. Brahimi can contribute to achieving that aim."
[Q. on safe havens]
Wittig: "I have not heard anybody in the Security Council advocating a military intervention. Let me say this very clearly, to halt any speculations, we have had a Security Council meeting as you know, an open briefing last week. In the Council very few countries are speaking about a militarization, quite the contrary most people are afraid of militarizing the conflict any further. My own country is always advocating a political solution and warns of further militarization of the conflict. So that is not an issue or a question in the Council."
[Q. on Turkey]
Wittig: "Turkey is bearing the brunt of the refugee crisis. Turkey is looking for ways and means, in a remarkable way, to help the Syrians, they have taken in refugees on Turkish territory. Turkey deserves our gratitude and our support for how they handle this crisis. There is a discussion in Turkey how to protect Syrians against the violence and against attacks from its own government. And that discussion has partly found an echo in the intervention of the Turkish foreign minister. I have nothing to add to his intervention. He speaks for himself."

Carshalton and Wallington MP Tom Brake has given his support to a Sutton Council green initiative by adopting a tree.
Mr Brake signed up to the authority's tree fostering scheme and is now responsible for a newly planted hornbeam.
The scheme sees residents buy a tree and pay for its planting, as well as being personally in charge of the tree's upkeep.
By doing so, residents are saving the council an estimated £135 per tree.
Mr Brake said: "While not everybody can actively participate in tree planting, the scheme gives everyone who cares about our landscape and environment a chance to get involved.
"I would encourage everyone to be a positive force on our borough and help leave a green legacy by adopting a tree."
Each tree costs around £60 to buy and a further £25 to £30 to plant.
Residents are responsible for watering their tree in the dry months and can loosen tree ties and trim broken twigs.
Duties also include keeping an eye on the tree's health and informing Sutton Council if the tree needs attention.

Our season-long garden party Summer Fest 2012 welcomes food and garden bloggers to feature garden-to-table recipes and tips. We'll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you're harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. Fresh this week: tomatoes.
Tomatoes are at their seasonal peak. There are thousands of varieties of the bright, juicy and incredibly versatile fruit. We've narrowed down the list to our favorite ways to prepare six of them:
Heirloom Tomatoes
A sweet and savory combination of heirloom tomatoes, watermelon and feta cheese makes for a Refreshing Watermelon and Heirloom Tomato Salad (pictured above). Use heirlooms in all colors and sizes to get the most pop on your plate.
Beefsteak Tomatoes
Simmer tomatoes and zucchini for this Supper of Tomatoes, Zucchini and Basil that requires just five ingredients. Sop up the combination with a piece of crusty bread.
Standard Globe Tomatoes
Use medium-sized tomatoes for Chuck Hughes' Tomato Cheese Tart. Cover filo dough with Swiss cheese and top with sliced tomatoes and thyme leaves before baking until the crust is browned.
Green Tomatoes
Unripe tomatoes are the key ingredient to this classic, Fried Green Tomatoes, since they'll keep their crunchiness. These salty-sweet tomatoes are coated in buttermilk and panko crumbs and then fried to crispy perfection.
Cherry Tomatoes
Grape tomatoes are known for their sweetness, making them a delicious part of this Potato, Tomato, Corn and Basil Salad. There's no need to cook them; just toss with the potatoes and their flavor will really shine.
Plum Tomatoes
Make a fresh Tomato Salsa with plum tomatoes, jalapenos, lime and olive oil. It's an easy, blender-friendly dip that will take just a few minutes to prepare.

Do You Have Sensitive Skin? How to Tell and What to Do About It!
The common signs of sensitive skin and how best to take care of it.
-April Daniels Hussar, sponsored by Simple Skincare
My skin is so sensitive — if I tell it a bad joke I get hives. I thought I was just lucky, but, interestingly, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, up to HALF of all people have sensitive skin in some form or another. Woah! What exactly does that mean? How can you tell if you have sensitive skin — and how should we be taking care of it?
According to Dr. Glenn Kolanskys, a board certified dermatologist in Red Bank, NJ, "sensitive skin" just means skin that often becomes inflamed. "It can react to common household products or cosmetics or temperature changes," he says. "The skin becomes red or inflamed, and has a burning or stinging sensation."
According to HowStuffWorks.com, "People with sensitive skin are more vulnerable to acne, rosacea, eczema and contact allergens." Lucky us! And Amy J. Derick, M.D., member of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, told me that, in her opinion, "Sensitive skin means that your skin is irritated easily, whether by creams, soaps, lotions, or the environment."
So, basically, the way your skin looks and feels isn't just affected by genetics and your skincare routine, but also by the way you live your life. If you have sensitive skin like moi, you know it gets irritated easily, and might react to anything from ingredients in certain skincare products to stress to the weather!
TeenVogue.com also notes, "Blushing, itching, and easily sun-burning are all tell-tale signs of sensitive skin."
Oh yes. The blush and the sunburn at the drop of a hat. Good times.
Thankfully, I can use a fair amount of makeup (thank the sweet Lord), but pretty often, when I try a new skin care product, my skin will get VERY ANGRY WITH ME. And stays that way for a couple of days. This anger can take the form of puffy eyes, a rash, or a weird, red welty situation. It's not pretty. Oddly, though, this doesn't stop me from trying new things — partly because I write about beauty products and partly because I'm just a beauty product junkie, through and through. (The first step is admitting you have a problem…)
Common signs of sensitive skin include redness or irritation, says Dr. Kolanskys. "Some people develop bumps, or hives (urticaria) or a stinging sensation upon exposure to certain products." Yes, that would be me.
"Deodorant soaps or products with fragrance can cause irritation in some people," Kolanskys continues. Yes — sigh — me again. Some things with fragrance I can use; some I can't. It's always a craps shoot, as they say.
So, what's the best way to take care of our sensitive skin?
Dr. Kolanskys gives these tips:
– Use mild soaps or emollients. Soap-free cleansers usually have a lower pH (more acidic than basic) and are less irritating to the skin, he explains. Super-fatted or hydrating cleansers are less irritating to the skin.
– Look for fragrance-free products
– Avoid washing with water that is very hot or too cold
And, I can add, from my own personal experience and research:
– Always spot-test a new product and NEVER TRY A BUNCH OF NEW PRODUCTS AT ONCE! You'd think this would be obvious, but it's not — even to me, who has done it a million times. "Hmmm … there's that weird hivey welt situation again … I wonder if it was the new cleanser, the eye cream or that bronzing lotion? Only time will tell!" (DUH!)
– Try a skincare brand designed for sensitive skin. I tried one that I liked so much, I'm now brand ambassador for it — Simple Skincare. It's the The UK's No. 1 facial care brand (who knew?!) that just launched in the U.S. It's currently available on drugstore.com and also debuting in beauty aisles this February. It's working well for me!
– SPF is your BFF. So are hats. If you must be golden, fake-bakes and bronzers are the way to go — not just to keep your delicate little face wrinkle-free, but cancer-free. Plus, whenever I do accidentally get a little burned, my skin is uber, uber extra sensitive.
– Water is your friend. Drink it!
– Don't over-cleanse your face and dry that poor baby out. As TeenVogue says, you can strip your skin's protective mantle by over-drying the skin's surface through the use of stripping soaps, alcohol, scrubs, acids, etc. Not the protective mantle!!
In other words: Treat your skin like the big baby it is, and you will make it happy — and purty!

Valentine's Day is tomorrow but since February is basically a month-long excuse to eat a whole bunch of chocolate, don't wait till tomorrow to indulge. If you haven't already been eating chocolate daily, start today, and have some for dinner. Now, don't go all crazy and eat cake for dinner; there are plenty of savory recipes that call for cocoa, like Chocolate Pasta and mole sauce.
Mole is a dark, rich, traditional Mexican sauce (mole means "concoction" in the Aztec dialect Nahuatl); it varies in color and flavor based on the recipe or what the cook has in their kitchen, but it's generally made with onion, garlic, chilies, ground seeds (like sesame or pepian) and a bit of bitter chocolate. The chocolate adds depth to the sauce without over sweetness, since unsweetened or Mexican chocolate is used. Mole sauce is usually served with chicken, so you won't find too many vegetarian mole dishes at Mexican restaurants. But just like tomato sauce isn't just for meatballs, mole isn't just for chicken. Make it at home and serve it over nachos, slathered on top of spinach or black bean enchiladas, or with poached eggs and creamy rice, like in Bobby Flay's Poached Eggs in Mole With Creamy Green Rice. Bobby serves his meatless mole dish for brunch in an episode of Brunch@Bobby's dedicated to chocolate, but this savory dish would make a great dinner, as well.
Poached Eggs in Mole With Creamy Green Rice
Makes: 4 servings
1/2 cup slivered raw almonds
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 small Spanish onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup pureed plum tomatoes
Scant 1/2 cup pureed chipotle in adobo
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon New Mexico chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground chile de arbol
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup chopped fresh mango
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup crushed blue corn tortilla chips
3 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, warmed (substitute vegetable stock to keep it meatless)
1 ounce semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
To Serve:
Creamy Green Rice, recipe follows
1/4 pound Cotija cheese, grated
1/4 pound queso fresco, grated
Fresh cilantro leaves
Creamy Green Rice:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
3 green onions, thinly sliced
2 roasted poblano chiles, finely diced
Put the almonds in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook until lightly golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove the almonds to a plate. Increase the heat to high, add the oil to the saucepan and heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the garlic and onions and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, chipotle puree, the chile powders, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Next, add the mangoes, raisins, corn tortillas, molasses, honey, maple syrup and almonds. Pour in the warmed stock and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mangoes are soft and the mixture is reduced by half, about 50 minutes.
Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the mixture to the pan over high heat. Add the chocolate and cook until reduced to a sauce consistency, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Pour the mole into a medium, high-sided saute pan and bring to a simmer. Crack the eggs one a time into a ramekin and carefully slip into the mole. Sprinkle the tops of the eggs with salt and pepper. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the whites are just set and the yolks are still jiggly, about 12 minutes.
Spoon some of the Creamy Green Rice into a shallow bowl and make an indention in the center. Put the egg in the center and spoon some of the mole over the egg. Sprinkle with the cheeses and garnish with cilantro leaves.
Place the heavy cream in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until reduced by half.
While the cream is reducing, bring 2 3/4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Stir in the rice and season with salt. Bring to a boil again, stir, place a lid on the pan, reduce the heat to medium and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes.
Remove the rice from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid and fluff with a fork. Return the rice to the stove over medium heat, add the reduced cream and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cilantro, green onions and poblanos.

TINY Kyran Davey gave his mum quite a shock when he arrived suddenly.
The baby made a dramatic entrance into the world last week – in the lobby of a block of Taunton flats.
Michelle Wilkinson had been experien-cing pains in the early hours last Thursday (November 15) – the day Kyran was due – but says when she phoned the hospital they told her not to expect anything just yet.
In an unexpected turn of events 22-year-old Michelle had only her brother, David, and responsive neighbours to help her through the home delivery at Waterside House.
The delivery lasted just 20 minutes.
Michelle, who also has a two-year-old boy, said: "I'd been having pains regularly and it just happened when I was asleep.
"Earlier in the night I phoned the hospital, but they told me to wait as it wasn't time.
"I got in the lift to go downstairs with my brother, who was going to get me to hospital, and the baby's head was coming out.
"I had to lie in the lobby and deliver him in the freezing cold.
"It was a good job David was there because Kyran might not be here if he'd fallen on the concrete.
"We finally got to the hospital and Kyran was put in a hot cot because he was that cold."
Neighbours Elena Veysey and Sandra Davies were also on hand to help Michelle, who was only in hospital until 2pm the same day, through the ordeal.
Nursery nurse Elena said: "I know a bit about maternity and it's fortunate I did.
"I cleared his airways while my daughter got a baby's hat from a doll to help keep him warm."
Sandra, who also rushed to Michelle's aid, said the unbelievable experience showed real community spirit in an area of town which has came under fire in the past.
"I heard the screams and ran down the stairs," said Sandra.
"I got some towels to wrap him up and keep him warm.
"You couldn't make it up. When these homes were built they said they wanted a community spirit, and I don't think it can get much better than this."

I still remember it as if it was yesterday, even though it was 30 years ago! In Italy, school runs six days a week—yes we attend classes on Saturday morning too, a real bummer. But Sunday is revered as the "Day of Rest"… unless you live in the country!
Yes, if you lived in the Italian countryside until a few decades ago, you really could not sleep past 7 am on any given Sunday during fall and winter, and not because your grandma forced you to go to Mass! What actually got us out of bed was the herd of hunters and dogs that roamed our property, anxious to find their lunch for the day. It was like New Year's Eve fireworks, as shotguns broke the morning silence and loads of pellets sped through the mist and landed on our farm's roof… tic, tic tic, one after the other. The message to me was clear: "We are here and we are hungry. Stay in the house and forget about your bicycle ride… at least until after lunch time."
In those days I sided with Bambi: I could not understand the need to transform the countryside into a war zone, when the butcher downtown could basically provide anything you might have needed for your Sunday stew. Not many regulations were in place for hunters, and anything was fair game.
But the Green-Movement picked up momentum in Italy in the mid 80s, and new regulations declared many areas off limits for hunting, forbidding hunters to enter private properties without the owner's consent. The shooting stopped, and, as of now, my countryside is still quiet… but it is also a zoo!
Over twenty years of virtually no hunting have allowed my family property to become a safe heaven for everything I now dream of having served on my plate, and not just for Sundays. When Debi, the girls and I go stay in our little pink house in the fields, we spend so much time looking out the windows, in search of any kind of movement. In the early morning, as we prepare breakfast, the kids roll their chairs in front of the glass door that faces the olive orchard, and quietly sip their chocolate milk in the hope of catching a glimpse of country life: rabbits, pheasants, deer and quail are everyday encounters, and the girls love knowing that our house is surrounded by wildlife.
But then, here and there—especially when it rains or when the mist is rolling uphill from the valley below—familes of wild boar make their appearance, and we all gasp!
Wild boars have historically not shown interest in our fields. But now, as if back from a long exile, they seem to be here to stay and reproduce… like rabbits. What has actually happened is that the traditional Wild Boar—which previously gave birth to only a couple of cubs each year—has bred with domestic pigs, and is now popping out about eight cubs per season. They are damaging crops, destroying any unfenced vegetable garden they come across, scratching bark off fruit trees, exposing them to sicknesses. They also pose a threat to car traffic on our main streets, as they roam from property to property. Needless to say, my wife is now terrified by a possible encounter as she works the laundry line in the garden. Hence, it is time to take the matter in our hands, and the necessary steps to start controlling the boar population once we get back to our home in Tuscany.
But before diving into our first hunting experience, we need to learn how to safely shoot animals, and start working on some traditional hunters' recipes.
Many of the recipes I have were passed onto me by my grandfather's farmers. When I would visit my grandparents as a child, I remember all the wives sitting on benches and wooden chairs after the hunters had left the fields. Out of kitchen doors, pheasants and quails hung upside down, and one by one came down from the hooks into the ladies' laps, who would pluck the feathers. Big pots were already steaming in the kitchen—vegetable stews with peppers, potatoes, black kale and beans were cooking with bay leaves and rosemary, spreading a fantastic aroma all around. And the hunters, were they cooking? They were too busy boasting and comparing the sizes of their kill!
As much as I had my reservations about hunters, I deeply enjoyed dining with them. It was always a feast of great meats, seasonal vegetables, garden herbs and young wine. Now that I am a grown up, I apply myself very hard to bring back the memories, and also to learn the recipes that are traditional to any Tuscan hunter's home.
This week, I make my family a recipe for Roasted Pheasant, as it is traditionally prepared in Florence (you can substitute with Guinea Foul, or even chicken); a Peperonata, which is a Tuscan staple of peppers and potatoes stew; and finally a very interesting recipe for Castagnaccio, a traditional chestnut flower cake that the kids will not necessarily like, but more for us!
Castagnaccio should be eaten warm out of the oven, before it begins to dry. I remember my grandfather used to trick me into eating it by serving it to me with a big gallop of whipped cream, and that's probably still my favorite way to enjoy it.
