Gibraltar calls on London to complain about four Spanish jets ?buzzing? over

The Matador are a Spanish version of the Harrier jet and operate from carrier Juan Carlos I

But Britain?s Ministry of Defence played down the incident and insisted there was no evidence to suggest the Spanish planes entered Gibraltar airspace.

Either way, the planes flew close enough to generate alarm and prompt an angry response from the Gibraltar Government.

?The Government of Gibraltar has called on the UK to take up the matter of this military incursion into the airspace of Gibraltar at the highest diplomatic and military levels,? No.6 Convent Place said in a statement. British officials in the Convent have already taken up the matter.

?We have raised this with London and Madrid,? a Convent spokesman said.

Officials believe Spanish military assets operating in the area are increasingly approaching the Rock to ?clip the edges? of Gibraltar?s territorial jurisdiction and make their presence felt.

The concern is that the incident was ?an aerial version of Spanish incursions detected at sea?.

However the incident was seen as a possible innocent by-product of Spanish military exercise in the Strait of Gibraltar, and that there was no incursion.

The four planes ? the Spanish version of the Harrier jet ? were flying back to the Spanish aircraft carrier Juan Carlos I, which was on a training exercise about 10 miles southeast off the Rock.

The jets approached the Rock from the northwest before turning east out into the Mediterranean and south toward the ship.

Don't take life sitting down

ONE interesting question to ask scientists who study health hazards is whether their research has led them to change their own behaviour. By that rule of thumb, Michael Jensen of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, is worth heeding. A leading light in research on the health effects of too much sitting, he has started working at a treadmill desk (see "Workouts are no antidote to death by desk job").

Why? The emerging consensus from work by Jensen and others is that long periods of sitting down ? such as when watching TV or working at a desk ? are bad for your health regardless of how active you are at other times. Simply standing up, or walking gently on a treadmill, allows you to escape the effect. Hence the growing trend for "active" workstations and stand-up meetings. Desk jockeys take heed ? and their employers, too.

Dan Persons: Robot Chicken's Kevin Shinick: The CFQ Interview

Get Entertainment Newsletters:

2013-07-05-KevinShinickphotocreditDanaPatrick_300.jpgIt's an old cliche, but worth repeating: Comedy is serious business, even when we're talking about the nut shots and fart jokes of Robot Chicken, even when we're talking about the gentler, youth-appropriate rowdiness of Cartoon Network's Mad. Kevin Shinick knows about that -- he's copped an Emmy writing for Chicken and not only writes but produces and is a heavy contributor to the voice population of Mad. I got to sit down with him to discuss how these shows come together, explore mutual geekly passions, and discuss the aborted Star Wars comedy show.

College Prep: Summer Sangria

One of my favorite things about being back in Florida is having full access to a real?kitchen. Seriously, there's only so much you can do when your kitchen is nothing more than a hallway.

Or... maybe I just need to actually bite the bullet and stock up on cooking supplies. But, I wonder, where would I have room for... I don't know... a cutting board, or a pitcher, or a real mixer. Because my little cabinets are just not going to cut it. And I'd much rather have a dishwasher than another set of cabinets.

But I digress.

I like sangria, but it's not my most favorite drink in the world. However, with our?refrigerator?completely stocked with fresh fruit, it seemed like a no brainer. Oh, and it was so wonderful.

(And easy to make!)

I used the fruit we already had: strawberries, blueberries,?cantaloupe, and honeydew melon.

Combine six cups of fresh fruit?with a quarter cup of fresh ginger?and one cup of fresh basil?in a pitcher. Pour half of a cup of orange?liquor?into the pitcher and gently mash the fruits and basil while you stir. Pour one bottle of crisp white wine?and three tablespoons of fresh lemon juice?and stir.

Place a few ice cubes?in a mason jar, top with sangria, and serve.

It was really a sweet little drink!

For dinner, we had blackened fish (a family favorite), baked corn (I ate half of the dish before dinner even started), and pesto pasta (so refreshing!).

What did you eat and drink for the Fourth? Do you have a favorite summer drink recipe? Please share!

xoxo

PS This was perfect for the hot and humid day!

MVP, mayor discuss water woes

BUSINESS tycoon Manuel V. Pangilinan (MVP) and the Bagiuo City Government are in talks for the former?s entry into the water distribution business in the Summer Capital.

Mayor Mauricio Domogan on Wednesday confirmed?that Pangilinan, one of the country?s top business executive, consulted with local officials on how he can help fill in the needs for a better water supply system in the city.

Pangilinan, who had a brief get-together with local media last week, also expressed interest in water supply and power distribution in the city, saying he will send a technical team to evaluate possible investments in these sectors.

The tycoon, who holds major stake in power and water distribution, telecommunication, mining and media among other business interests, said tapping into underground resources is unsafe and environmentally unfriendly citing possible contamination of underground water sources.

He said a bulk water supply is a more viable option Baguio must pursue to address water woes in a city which has grown rapidly through the years.

Domogan said he informed Baguio City Water District (BWD) general manager Salvador Royeca of MVP?s interest in sending his technical team to help address the city?s water needs.

The mayor said the city?s water supply remains inadequate with the BWD admitting in their latest reports that continued water rationing and scheduling are still expected to serve elevated areas. He added there are still some barangays without the services of the BWD.

Domogan said the city needs some 60,000 cubic meters of water daily while the BWD is only able to distribute some 40,000 cubic meters daily notwithstanding systems loss.

?I hope this doesn?t get politicized because if you can remember in the previous years there was this bulk water supply unfortunately it did not pursue due to politics siguro kung hindi napasukan ng pulitika natapos na ang project,? the mayor said.

He added that water bills will "of course increase" but the most important thing is that every time "you open your faucet, there?s water that will come out."
He said the growing city?s demand for water will increase in the next few years which is why the local government is also tapping into water sources like rain harvesting to help the BWD.

Domogan hopes the city will be able to construct its own rain water harvesting facility with the help of the Department of Public Works and Highways at the Baguio Convention Center.

He further warned continued tapping into underground water sources could also affect land stability in the city.
