NEW DELHI (dpa) – India's low-cost Mars mission faces its most crucial test Wednesday as it attempts to put a spacecraft into orbit around Mars after a voyage of 300 days. A successful orbit insertion would make India the first Asian nation to reach Mars and give a tremendous boost to the country's ambition of becoming a major player in the multibillion-dollar commercial space launch market.
Fewer than 50 per cent of the 51 international Mars missions have been successful, and none on the first attempt. But the mood at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was upbeat.
"Our launch, six orbit-raising manoeuvres, we have met with 99 per cent success," said Koteswara Rao, the agency's scientific secretary.
"The orbit insertion on September 24 is challenging, but we are confident we will make it."
The spacecraft's engine was to be test-fired Monday, followed by a course correction early Wednesday when its speed would be slowed down from 22.2 kilometres per second to 2.14 metres per second, to move it into Mars' orbit in a half-hour exercise. It would be performed automatically by the spacecraft, and the commands were being uploaded, Rao said.

"It's a challenging exercise. Mars is over 200 million kilometers away. And all planets have different push and pull; it is a challenge to keep the spacecraft in orbit."
Another challenge will be to catch the faint signals from the spacecraft. Ground stations in India, the United States, Australia and Spain will be monitoring these.
India has put 70 satellites into orbit over the past two decades. India's space missions so far have been the cheapest in the market.
The Mars mission, named Mangalyaan – a combination of the Hindi word "Mangal," for Mars, and "yaan," meaning vehicle – cost 80 million dollars.
NASA's latest Mars mission Maven, which entered the Mars orbit on Sunday, just days ahead of the Indian craft's scheduled entry, cost 671 million dollars.
Both Mangalyaan and Maven are not intended to land on Mars, but plan to study the atmosphere.
"The Maven is a larger, more capable aircraft than India's Mangalyaan," said Emily Lakdawalla of the California-based non-profit The Planetary Society. "But to do an interplanetary mission in 80 million dollars is very cheap. If India pulls it off, other countries would look to India for launching interplanetary spacecraft."
"India has the potential to be the launch-service provider of the world. We must work towards this goal," Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said recently. A successful Mars mission would be a huge step towards that goal.
"Technological achievements in space are measured by launch vehicle capabilities, satellites, navigation capabilities," Rao said. "Yes, a successful Mars mission would certainly give India's commercial ambitions a boost."
"A successful Mars mission would be a very important technological achievement for India, and also increase its prestige and standing in the satellite launch market and bring in more business proposals," said Ajay Lele of the New Delhi-based Institute of Defence Studies and Analyses.
India's Mars orbiter carries a 25-kilogram payload of instruments and imaging equipment to study the atmosphere and surface of Mars. Among its goals is to search for the presence of methane gas in the Martian atmosphere, a finding that would support theories that the planet can support primitive life forms.
"The main goal of the mission is to test and demonstrate technological capabilities and gather inputs for future missions within our limited budgets and capabilities," Rao said.

'No place in life' for Popov behaviour, says Clarke
Steve Clarke, the West Bromwich Albion manager, was scathing yesterday about the behaviour of his full-back, Goran Popov, who was sent off for spitting at Kyle Walker in the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham.
Clarke, above, said that he had not seen another incident, where defender Jonas Olsson was accused of making an obscene gesture at West Brom fans and spitting in their direction. Speaking of the Popov incident, Clarke said: "There is no excuse for that. There is no place for that in life, never mind on a football pitch."
Gareth Bale scored the only goal to give the visitors three points at the Hawthorns.
Manchester City drew with Liverpool 2-2 at the Etihad Stadium yesterday, meaning Manchester United's lead at the top of the Premier League stands at nine points with 13 games left. Edin Dzeko put the hosts ahead, before Daniel Sturridge and Steven Gerrard replied. Sergio Aguero's superb angled shot rescued a point for City. MORE
Balotelli makes immediate impact
Former Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli remained in the headlines last night after scoring twice on his debut, including an injury-time penalty winner, to help AC Milan to a 2-1 win over Udinese at the San Siro.
Jol praises 'main man' van Persie
Fulham manager Martin Jol believes buying Robin van Persie will be the deciding factor if Manchester United regain the Premier League title this season. "I think Van Persie is like Zlatan Ibrahimovic," he said. "Wherever Zlatan goes, they will be champions." MORE
Widnes buoyed by opening day win
Widnes Vikings, last season's bottom-placed side, started their Super League campaign with a 28-14 win at the London Broncos yesterday. Elsewhere, the Catalan Dragons won 32-24 at Hull KR, while Warrington beat Castleford 40-24. MORE
Nigeria beat Ivory Coast for semi spot
Nigeria will play Mali in the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations after a 2-1 win over Ivory Coast, who again failed to live up to their billing as tournament favourites. Burkina Faso will face Ghana on Wednesday after they beat Togo 1-0 in extra time.
Berdych victorious as Czechs progress
Holders Czech Republic moved into the quarter-finals of the Davis Cup yesterday after Tomas Berdych beat Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka in four sets. The pair emerged just a day after their marathon doubles match, which lasted over seven hours.
Depleted Scarlets overcome Tigers
Scarlets scored three late tries to seal a convincing LV=Cup victory over the Tigers at Parc y Scarlets yesterday. The defeat was Leicester's first in 10 games, while a defiant Scarlets had 14 players on an international duty and another 10 injured.
Opinion: Sam Wallace
Now, on 99 caps, Ashley Cole has finally been overtaken on the field. If Roy Hodgson had to pick the best current English left-back to face Brazil on Wednesday, that would be Leighton Baines. MORE
Tuilagi could come in for Twelvetrees
England head coach Stuart Lancaster believes Manu Tuilagi will be available for selection against Ireland in six days' time, but it is unknown whether Brad Barritt or Billy Twelvetrees will make way. No 8 Ben Morgan will be absent in Dublin after picking up an ankle injury. MORE
Rome watches the French fall again
Italy shocked France for the second consecutive match in Rome and in doing so blew the Six Nations open with a 23-18 win. Tries from Sergio Parisse and Martin Castrogiovanni helped Italy on their way, aided by Luciano Orquera's accurate kicking. MORE
PFA will not give up on Gascoigne

Richard Curtis's new film About Time marks a return to the familiar territory of those nineties romantic-comedy game changers, Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, which he wrote but didn't direct.
Once again, we're back in that repressed, financially unburdened upper middle class milieu with a bumbling lovesick hero, and a radiant spacey American woman that steals his heart.
There are the usual gaggle of embarrassing friends, a lot of voice-over and montages, a wedding, a funeral and wait … something's missing.
Oh, right. Hugh Grant. His substitute here is the sweetly sheepish, ginger-haired Domhnall Gleeson (the Harry Potter series) with a tousled puppy appeal. Besides, he can time travel as he discovers from his dad on his 21st birthday. In fact, all the males in his family can, though there are a few rather arbitrary rules, which seem to have been invented by that great screenwriter in the sky, to make us think about what we would do differently if we could live each day again.
Gleeson plays Tim, who grows up in the fairyland by the sea called Cornwall, where his Dad (Bill Nighy, charmingly disreputable but still ridiculously fun to watch) has retired at 50 to play Ping-Pong and read, while no-nonsense Mom (Lindsay Duncan) gardens. They live with Dad's endearing, mentally challenged Uncle D (Richard Cordery), and Tim's even more endearing free-spirit sister Kit Kat (Lydia Wilson), who never wears shoes and throws herself at people in affection. From the first moment you meet her, you know something bad might happen because Tim says how much he loves her.
In short, prepare to be run over by the Curtis treacle truck. The only question is whether there is going to be more sticky stuff to wash off or broken glass to pick out of your skin by the film's end. In this case, the painful shards are few, and the sweet, sticky stuff voluminous.
After Tim discovers his time-travelling gift he puts it to work on the important thing in life, getting a girlfriend, though no matter how he twists time, he can't seem to get the bewitching summer house guest Charlotte (Margot Robbie) into bed with him.
Later, in London where he's working as a trainee lawyer and renting a room from an irascible playwright, Harry (Tom Hollander), he meets Mary (Rachel McAdams) on a blind date at one of those theme restaurants in the dark. (That scene, which lasts a good five minutes, of two unseen couples chatting against a black screen, is one of the movie's inspired moments).
And though they meet after and like each other, an emergency with one of Harry's plays causes Tim to have to go back in time to fix things before manipulating a new meeting with Mary, an adorable nerd (she's a reader for a publisher) who just keeps growing more loveable through the years.
That's not to fault McAdams, who works to add some edge to a too-cute role (Zooey Deschanel was originally attached to the part).
The rest of the movie is a soap opera of babies, poignant moments, minor crises, and lessons about savouring each day. On the subject of time travel, it has to be said that even Curtis's humour, his most redeeming quality, feels at best quaint. There's a needlessly long scene where Tim is asked to advise the flighty Mary on which dress to wear, which feels left over from a 1950s I Love Lucy episode. This notion that attractive women are either inscrutably adorable neurotics or calculating vamps (Charlotte) should probably stay locked in the time vault.Report Typo/Error

Jeb Bush, the Governor of Florida and brother of the President, has admited his child welfare department has lost track of a five-year-old girl from Miami who was meant to be in the agency's care but has not been seen by anyone for 15 months.
The storm over the whereabouts of Rilya Wilson has grown in recent days to the point where it is threatening Governor Bush's chance of re-election in November. This week he appointed a special investigation panel, which met for the first time yesterday.
The mystery of the little girl began in January 2001, when a woman identifying herself as an employee of the Florida's child welfare agency turned up at the home of her grandmother, who had been looking after her. The woman left with Rilya, saying she needed routine medical tests. The grandmother subsequently assumed the girl had simply remained in state care.
Even more embarrassingly, a worker for the agency who was meant to be keeping tabs on the whereabouts of Rilya periodically filed fabricated reports, stating that she was doing fine and was in good care.
The case is damaging for Mr Bush, who campaigned in 1998 on a pledge to revamp the state's already chaotic child welfare agency. Now leading Democrats are accusing him of having achieved nothing. His likely challenger in November is the former attorney general Janet Reno.
"There's enough blame to go around for everybody for starters," the Governor retorted this week. "Rather than kind of point the finger back and forth, I think the appropriate thing is to determine whether there's a systemic problem and hope and pray that this child is found."
The police are treating the girl's disappearance as a possible homicide. It is not known whether the woman who came to the grandmother's home was genuinely a government employee. Investigators are waiting for DNA test results from the body of a young girl found recently in Kansas City, Missouri, to see if it isRilya.
Ms Reno has chosen to keep a low profile in the scandal. She said: "Instead of trying to cast blame, let's sit down together, Republicans and Democrats, and focus on one of the most difficult issues that we face in Florida – how we protect our children from abuse and neglect."
Aubrey Jewett, a political science professor at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, said the case could have potent consequences for the Governor. "You can argue that this has been an ongoing problem, but on the other hand, Jeb Bush has been in office for more than three years now. There's sort of a statute of limitations on what you can blame on your predecessor," she said.Reuse content

The Soulshard Chronicles
Prologue: Childhood
by Luke Manly
Copyright 2012 Luke Manly
Smashwords Edition
This book is a taste of Imalion's journey – the "backstory", if you like. I decided to write his story back in February as a project to push my writing forward, and somehow I managed to get tangled up in his life. Now I have two planned compilations of posts. This is not a full compilation; rather, it is a teaser of what is to come.
This is only the beginning. The full story is all available on my website – Soulshard Chronicles – in a semi-edited form. The upside is that you can read it all for free, but the downside is that you will have to figure out the rather annoying blog-style arrangement. And you miss out on the chapter art. If you don't like my writing, why not think of the dollar as tribute to the artist who drew my pictures? He did a fine job, I must say.
I hope you will follow Imalion in the follow-ups!

Puducherry, June 9 (UNI) Police today registered cases against ten AIADMK workers in connection with a clash between the DMK and the AIADMK cadres here last night, forcing the police to open fire in the air to quell the mob.
DMK Councillor Sadasivam, who was assaulted by the AIADMK workers, lodged a complaint that the AIADMK workers had entered his rice mill, ransacked it and took away cash of Rs 74,320.
On the basis of the complaint, police registered cases against ten AIADMK workers under seven different sections of IPC.
Indian Reserve Battalion personnel were deployed following the clash at Nellithoppe area here.

Hey all, we'd love to get some of you recommendations for a honeymoon trip we're planning - it's kind of a short notice so we need to start booking very soon so any help would be really greatly appreciated!
We're a couple in our early thirties and are getting married soon and have decided to both take some time off from work and do one last adventure as a couple before we have kids and settle down (which is it's own adventure of course, but of a different kind)
We'd like to leave New York (where we live) as early as november 22nd (but of course can leave later as well) and be back by March 24th.
We've never been to this side of the world and are very excited to see it - we'd like to spend some time in Australia and do the standard route there, and do Thailand as well, we'd like to also do NZ but it's a lower priority and if 3 months is not enough (which we assume it is) we will be ok with doing our trip without NZ (grudgingly)
We know we can't ask you to plan our trip for us, but we'd love to get recommendations on a basic skeleton of the trip so that we can start booking our flights and any accommodations we would need to get started, we'd also like to know if the dates are totally wrong for a trip of this nature (weatherwise or otherwise) so that we can pivot and do a different type of trip
We'd like to do sightseeing, minor treks (no more than 2-3 days), activities, whitewater rafting, etc. what would you recommend for us?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Sivan and Elad

Congratulations, that sounds like a great decision you've taken. I sense that you haven't quite settled on what you both really want to do together; have you travelled before - together? When you say "spend some time in Australia and do the standard route there," that sound very much like a boilerplate, and reflects nothing of your own whims and wishes.
You have enough time allotted to do this in many ways - while the standard route for most hasty visitors is - unfortunately - something like 3 days in Melbourne, 3 days in Sydney, 3 days in Cairns, plus the travel days...you can do much better!
Run to your local library and get whatever travel DVD you can get, plus guidebooks, and see what impresses you.
Could be a week of wonderful wilderness hiking in Tasmania, a leisurely drive with many overnights from Melbourne via the Great Ocean Road to Adelaide and the wine country, an overnight on Kangaroo island, a train ride up to the center, a visit of Uluru, a flight to Perth and 2 weeks on that side (from the lush and pretty south to the arid and fascinating north) - or it could be many other routes and ways of passing your time. Cities? Countryside? Coastal routes? Mountains? Tropics? Opals? Australia has it all -it's up to you to pick and choose.

Those months will be nice in each of those places. If it works out, I would recommend Thailand on the way to Australia, simply because Nov-Feb is the most pleasant time there weatherwise. By March and certainly April, the humidity and heat is debilitating. As you have the luxury of time, yes do as suggested and do some swatting up so that you can make the best of your time. Come back with further questions and all the best for your marriage.

Description: Throughout the Arab world, Islamist political movements are joining the electoral process. This change alarms some observers and excites other. In recent years, electoral opportunities have opened, and Islamist movements have seized them. But those opportunities, while real, have also been sharply circumscribed. Elections may be freer, but they are not fair. The opposition can run but it generally cannot win. Semiauthoritarian conditions prevail in much of the Arab world, even in the wake of the Arab Spring. How do Islamist movements change when they plunge into freer but unfair elections? How do their organizations (such as the Muslim Brotherhood) and structures evolve? What happens to their core ideological principles? And how might their increased involvement affect the political system?In When Victory Is Not an Option, Nathan J. Brown addresses these questions by focusing on Islamist movements in Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, and Palestine. He shows that uncertain benefits lead to uncertain changes. Islamists do adapt their organizations and their ideologies do bend—some. But leaders almost always preserve a line of retreat in case the political opening fizzles or fails to deliver what they wish. The result is a cat-and-mouse game between dominant regimes and wily movements. There are possibilities for more significant changes, but to date they remain only possibilities.

Glenavon's Jonny Tuffey is hoping for a Linfield return to cherish
It's the battle of the Blues at Windsor Park tomorrow but Linfield old boy Jonny Tuffey admits his former club are red hot this season.
After winning seven of their opening eight Danske Bank Premiership games, Linfield are threatening to look like serious title challengers and keeper Tuffey, who was let go by Blues chief Warren Feeney in April, has been impressed by the early pacesetters.
Former Northern Ireland keeper Tuffey made 77 appearances for Linfield and he will be hungry to frustrate a few old comrades tomorrow but he refuses to look back in anger.
After signing a two-year deal with Glenavon the 28-year-old started targeting new goals with the Lurgan Blues and he's confident Gary Hamilton's side can give Feeney's boys a rough ride.
"The Linfield game is a massive one though I take the view all the games are in that category," said Tuffey.
"They are the league leaders and credit to them they have made a fantastic start.
"I think in these scenarios you worry about what you can do rather than show the opposition too much respect.
"I'm long enough in the game to know that you will not stay at one club forever and my Linfield chapter is closed. I had two fantastic seasons there but I'm a Glenavon player now and determined to help them achieve success.
"It's great to see Linfield doing well and that Warren Feeney has been given time to put his stamp on the team. Their results show they are moving in the right direction but so are we and we are excited about this game. I know what it is like from my time at Linfield and other sides are inspired when they come and compete at the national stadium.
"It's great for us to go there and perform in a magnificent stadium on an immaculate surface and you hope the young lads embrace the occasion."
Another former Linfield soldier arrived at Mourneview Park this week with David Jeffrey's former number two, Bryan McLaughlin, joining the coaching set-up.
Former Partick Thistle keeper Tuffey added: "Gary (Hamilton) has done his homework and brought Bryan in. I think he's a great addition to the squad after Stevie McBride couldn't continue due to personal reasons.
"Bryan comes in with the experience of working with one the best managers around in David Jeffrey and their record together is second to none. Brian is a winner and the Glenavon players will benefit from his expertise, particularly the younger players if they take on board what he says."
Tuffey experienced his first mid-Ulster derby on Tuesday night and it was a tasty affair with the visitors storming back from two goals down at Shamrock Park to snatch a point.
"It was my first mid-Ulster derby and a typical derby battle, very frantic and good to watch but I felt the boys showed great character and hung in there before battling back to get a point," he added.
"Overall we haven't been playing badly but sometimes things just don't go your way like when we played the Crues (2-1 defeat). Against Glentoran (0-0) I felt we could have won that game.
"In the last two matches against Glenavon and Carrick Rangers we have fought back to secure a point and we can take a lot of encouragement from that.
"There's a great team spirit here and I believe we are moving in the right direction.
"I'm really enjoying it at Glenavon. Gary (Hamilton) was honest with me from the moment I signed and all the staff have been terrific.
"I've come to a club with real ambition and the days of relegation fears have been replaced by back to back European qualification and an Irish Cup win.
"There's pressure to live up to those expectations every season but you want that."

Main Content
Heritage consists of those items which we as a community have inherited from the past and want to hand on to future generations. The community of Pittwater has a diverse heritage which is embodied in those items which are still remaining and can illustrate past human occupation and development of an area.
The area has a rich and diversified heritage which encompasses buildings, monuments, gardens, landscapes, archaeological sites, jetties and wharves in addition to the natural environment and Aboriginal heritage. A comprehensive review of the items and places of heritage significance within the former Pittwater Local Government Area (LGA) was begun in 2012 and completed in 2015. This review, titled the Pittwater Community Based Heritage Study Review 2015, is the most up to date heritage study of the LGA. It provides a detailed thematic history of the LGA and reviews the area's heritage items, conservation areas and archaeological sites. As a result of the review, Schedule 5 and the Heritage Maps of the Pittwater Local Environmental Plan and the Heritage Controls in the Pittwater 21 Development Control Plan have been amended. The Pittwater Local Environmental Plan lists a total of 139 heritage items, 6 conservation areas and 25 archaeological sites.

A year of contemplation, months of planning and intricate fine-tuning from his perfectionist trainer Aidan O'Brien could be eclipsed by the sole contributing factor over which he had no power - the luck of the draw. Perhaps he might as well not ask the 4.77 million-dollar question.
Bookmakers and onlookers from both sides of the Atlantic rushed to sound the death knell to the iron horse's audacious Classic bid, taking on wonderhorse Fusaichi Pegasus and seasoned US campaigners on his dirt-track debut over 12 furlongs. But those working rather closer to the cliff-face beg to differ.
If you draw stall - or 'gate', to use Stateside lingo - 13 or 14 in the Sprint or more especially the Mile, you're Breeders' Cup history, period. They're not called the 'coffin boxes' for nothing.
Only Lure in 1993 and Silic last year have even managed to translate berth 12 of 14 into triumph during all 16 Mile renewals to date. Only two horses - Very Subtle in 1987 and Gulch the following year - have won the Sprint from double-figure draws, 11 and 10 respectively.
So, at yesterday's post position draw - a bizarre affair where multi-millionaire owners, tense trainers, the odd jockey and a wealth of journalists on ambush mode convene to eat breakfast and record the allotting of stall numbers like bingo-obsessed grannies - many fates were sealed more than 72 hours before the races were run.
Scratch Forbidden Apple and North East Bound from your calculations in the Mile, along with Honest Lady and Delaware Township in the Sprint. In 2000, leading fancies for both events emerged from the draw largely unscathed and, unlike Sir Michael Stoute's Susu in last year's Mile, no transatlantic challenger was clean bowled at this early stage.
In fact, with Indian Lodge, Distant Music, Dansili and Arkadian Hero all handed decent mid-field berths in the Mile, while Noverre and Turnberry Isle bagged gates five and seven in the Juvenile, we Euros were in the process of revelling in our large slice of luck.
But the Classic was last to be drawn and, as the other horses filled up the lower berths, there was a growing inevitability about Giant's Causeway's likely lot.
In ducking the occasion entirely, gentle O'Brien boxed clever. Having received the bad news in public, he may have had more qualms about exiting without a word like Stoute, who doubtless laid ten feet of rubber from his screaming car tyres, such was his anxiety to cut loose from this eclectic affair.
But Pat Day and Mike Smith - two top-flight US jockeys particularly qualified to judge such matters - and feted US form scientist Andy Beyer can offer O'Brien encouragement that the Giant's cause is far from lost, even while all around him push out his price.
"I was talking about this horse's draw with Frankie Dettori," responded Louisville-born Day, who at 46 still knows no equal around Churchill Downs as the winning-most rider there and most successful to date in the Breeders' Cup Series.
"The horse's running style is forwardly placed. Breaking from the 14 post, you have a long run down to the first turn - better than quarter of a mile - and with tactical speed he should be able to clear a bulk of the field and secure a decent position. It shouldn't be a major drawback."
"Gate 14 in the Classic is OK," agreed Smith. "By the turn, they'll be strung out and everybody can get where they want."
Smith, now 35, partnered Lure to that draw-defying successful defence of his 1992 Mile title and ascribes the Houdini act to his mount's exceptional ability and instant, malleable speed.
"Lure was very quick whenever you needed him to be and I did that day," he said. "Fortunately, he got away from the gate really fast and, when I saw I'd get hung nine horses wide on the bend, I just asked him for a little more and he really accelerated. I was able to clear them and get over to the rail just before they kissed us goodbye.
"You must do either that or decide straight away to tuck in behind - it depends on your horse. But if you go to do what Lure did and don't quite manage it, you've just about blown your race then and there."
Day echoes: "When the dust settles, you can look back and say if I would have gone then or if I'd have waited. But if is a great big word, even though it's only two letters."
He allows intimate knowledge of Churchill Downs as poor reason for his record, pointing to the identikit nature of all US tracks - flat, tight, left-handed and oval - and the good record of European jockeys riding here cold.
"The secret to riding Churchill Downs, as is the secret anywhere, is being on the best horse - the stock," he said. "When you're on the stock, you can take advantage of opportunities, jump into a hole when it opens and hold your position. When you're not on the stock, you can't get the job done."
Which brings us to Beyer, his nation's most respected speed student.
"They run the Kentucky Derby here with fields of 20 horses and horses from the 17 and 18 have won," proclaimed Beyer. "The draw won't be the main problem for Giant's Causeway - he's got much more to overcome than that. You never know whether a horse will translate its form from turf to dirt and vice versa. More often than not, the Europeans guess that wrong. But this colt has a pure US dirt pedigree. If he runs at the same level as on grass, he's got to be a tremendously strong contender whatever his gate."Reuse content

Out There
The Waiting Game
Claire Martin
Honest Records
Claire Martin never actually scats on her debut; rather, she delivers the rhythms of great scatting through sheer energy. The possibility that the music might break away from her unbridled singing gives a necessary dynamism to her classic bebop style. Improvising swing with a rare authority, she runs with the surefootedness of a mountain goat; her jazzy phrasings and complex interpretations come not only on jazz standards, but also on songs from Joni Mitchell and Thomas Dolby. (For reluctant purists, Rodgers and Hart and others make appearances, too.) The Waiting Game conveys the magic of a cabaret performance with the precision of the studio; you can practically see Martin draped across a grand piano coyly singing "Be Cool" or flirting on the jaunty "You Hit the Spot."
The Chieftains
BMG Classics
The Chieftains explore the kinship between Ireland and the region of Spain known as Galicia with unexpectedly delightful results. In the mariachi-style "Guadalupe" (with Los Lobos and Linda Ronstadt), the flamenco beat of "Maneo," and the somber ballad "Galleguita/Tutankhamen," Santiago embraces the two cultures and hammers out a beautiful compromise no more evident than on "Dublin in Vigo." Cobbling together lilting folk with the unique sounds of the gaita (a Galician bagpipe), Santiago forms a cohesive synthesis of different cultures that is dramatic and highly listenable.

Natalie Cole
Elektra Records
Stardust is both scattershot and banal. Natalie Cole combines many musical motifs, but the mix is an uncomfortable one. "Let's Face the Music and Dance" varies aimlessly among kitsch, scat, swing, and pop--sometimes without changing chords--and exemplifies the fact that the difference between a passable jazz song and a great one is often the arrangement. "Since I Fell in Love," a digitally reproduced duet sung with father Nat "King" Cole, is a notable exception, but it also highlights Stardust's primary deficiency: Natalie's tendency to shriek. Nat's been dead 30 years, but his warm, rolling way with a lyric only shows up Natalie's merely serviceable interpretations everywhere else. Still, that one song is about as good an arrangement as you'll find since Nelson Riddle died.

Pope Benedict used last night's Ash Wednesday mass to deliver a withering and extraordinary blast at the warring factions in the Vatican's upper-echelons, whose power struggles many believe influenced the Pontiff's historic decision to stand down.
Earlier on Wednesday, during the general audience, the Pontiff had alluded to the need for church figures to avoid the temptations of power and privilege.
But yesterday evening his warning was clearer. "We must reflect on how the face of the Church is marred by sins against unity and division of the ecclesiastical body. We must overcome individualism and rivalry," he told great and the good of the curia assembled in St Peter's Basilica. "The true disciple does not serve himself or the public, but the Lord.
"Many are ready to get on their high horse over scandals and injustices – obviously committed by others – but few seem able to act according to the real wishes of their own hearts and consciences."
Pundit Gerard O'Connell of the Vatican Insider said: "This was a very, very, clear and strongly worded speech. It was an appeal for an end to the personal rivalries and of people competing to put themselves in high profile positions. I think Benedict is passing messages to the cardinals and to those who will succeed him."
Benedict cited advancing age and declining health in his resignation announcement on Monday. Reports suggest the head injury he sustained after falling during a trip to Mexico last year was another factor behind his shock decision to stand down.
Many have speculated that a raft of scandals within the Vatican lies, at least in part, behind his decision to quit, however.
Those scandals culminated last year with the conviction of Paolo Gabriele, the pope's ex-butler, who was found guilty of leaking confidential papal memos suggesting corruption and intrigue within the Holy See to the Italian press.
But many Vatican watchers believe a confidential report into Vatileaks commissioned by Benedict may have revealed evidence of power struggles and a more far-reaching conspiracy to discredit his papacy and his deputy, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone.
La Repubblica newspaper suggested that Benedict's criticism yesterday may have been aimed at three of the Vatican's most powerful figures: the secretary of state Cardinal Bertone, his predecessor, Angelo Sodano, the current dean of the College of Cardinals, and the head of the Bishops Conference, Angelo Bagnasco.
It claimed that Cardinal Bertone was already at loggerheads with his two rivals as senior figures jockeyed for power and influence in the run up to the Conclave in mid-March, which will elected Benedict's successor.
Meanwhile, as one of last significant appointments under Benedict's reign, a new head of the Vatican Bank, the IOR, in expected within the next few days. Pundits believe a foreigner is likely to be brought in to clean up bank's reputation.
The IOR has been without a president since May 2012 when its Italian head Ettore Gotti Tedeschi resigned, following a no-confidence vote by the board of directors of the bank. This provoked a series of accusation and counter claims between Mr Tedeschi and the Holy See regarding the management of the scandal-hit financial institution.

Did you solve it? Bongard picture puzzles that will bongo with your brain.
Marlene Breverman stashed this in Puzzle-ing
The challenge with Bongard problems is to find the rule that applies to the six left-hand images, and the rule that applies to the six right hand ones, which is often the negation of the left hand rule.
All the rules are easy to explain - but even so it is extraordinarily difficult to find them.

Sail Date: May 05, 2014
Reviewed: 3 years ago
Traveled As: Large Group
Room Type: Inside
Many crew members seem to act more like Nazis then friendly people. Bed was very uncomfortable, we had to have 2 pads put on to make it somewhat ok. Rooms are super small. Food was okay but there were some items that were terrible. They closed the back bar very early forcing you into the pool area where they played the music very loud even though there were only 12 of us in there! (Not talking about the White Hot Party Night). I found activites hard to find the times and what was going on. Price dropped alot and was only given 25% on board credit to make up the difference then on the ship found out the price dropped even more. Food selection was very limited. One night all 3 of their "new" appitizers had onions in it for example. I didn't eat one dessert that I wanted to eat again and I usually eat 2 desserts on cruises. Do not order what they call "Rib Eye Steak", you will get an 1/8" cut of meat which is better suited for a steak sandwich. Most of the staff was good but the nazis made it tough to deal with.

Helpful, English -speaking staff, cleanliness of room. Great location with beach and views. It suited us that it was off-season so not too crowded or noisy. Not sure we'd like it in the high season. Lots of steps to climb up and down. This wasn't clear to us from the internet advert. Our water heater wasn't working properly on arrival, but the staff were very helpful in fixing the problem.
nice well prepared hotel
Very kind staff, close to beach. The bedroom fan looked broken (we could not use for safty), and the cleaning lady didn't come although we request.
I have stayed at White Sands Beach Club many times before, and as always we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Even though it was October the weather was still good, apart from the few showers and thunderstorms. White's Bar was amazing as usual, with amazing food and entertainment. The only thing that I would have to complain about was the £200 deposit we had to pay. This was a budget holiday for us and we were never told about this, so it did leave us short of money. We also booked a 6 bed apartment, but ended up with a 4 bed. When we asked about this at reception, she said that it wasn't the resorts fault and that there was nothing she could do. The 6 bed apartment was more expensive than the 4 bed, so this wasted more of our money.
Excellent staff, great food, swimming pool, ideal central location to explore the island
We liked everything about it. Nothing at all except slightly strange card system to conserve light energy didn't work very well.
The room was large with a spacious bathroom. With air conditioning, TV and fridge the facilities are better than many 3 star hotels. Although we didn't use the pool area it looked great and the sun terrace garden with tables and loungers was excellent. Although the room was perfectly clean the paintwork in the bathroom ceiling and one wall was peeling off. Also the double room was in fact a room with two single beds pushed together but this is often the case I've noticed with Spanish hostels/hotels.
The staff were helpful and the room quiet which is rare in Spain in August. There was a peaceful garden where guests could sunbathe and relax (in summer). The swimming pool has been divided up into small sections and the staff's children monopolised the only available swimming space. Better to head for the beach.
Junior suite room: excellent price/quality ratio; clean room; air- conditioning; small room fridge; large room and bathroom; very cool shower :-) hotel: strategic location in the middle of the island; good and cheap restaurant; small but nice pool with jacuzzi Nothing
A location in a beautiful area; a good place to explore the island by bike; a kindful, helpful and humourous staff - all this for a good price
The kindness of the lady at the reception. When I made the reservation I realized I chose the wrong location and I called immediately to ask to be so kind to cancel it without any penalty. I'm a Front Office Manager of an hotel in Italy and I know how it works. The Reservation Manager wasn't friendly on the phone and said to me that he coudn't cancell it. When I arrived at the hotel at 11.00 p.m., the lady at the front desk told me that my room was cancelled and I was charged for the 50% on my credit card. I find it very unfair and not professional. You can't cancell a room without informing the guest about that. Besides the front desk was closing and if I would have arrived 10 minutes later, I wouldn't have found anyone.Fortunately,at the end, I asked for another room and I got it.
Very clean. Basic but relaxed. Staff helpful Nothing to complain about. Got more than I expected from a 1star hostel
All the staff were very friendly and helpful. They will stay late into the night for you if you are arriving late. My room was clean and cozy, and the pool and terrace were lovely. I had a great stay, and I recommend it highly. Great value too.
Excelent location. Very nice staff. Variety of food at dinner (diferent every evening). Great sea view, from the bedroom. The breakfast was not very good. Cofee machines broken, not much variety of food, and every day was the same. In the last morning some kinds of bread were already finished. The noise in the halls and corridors were horrible, sometimes until dawn. Between the hotel and the beach there was machinery (coolers, maybe) that makes very noise all night, even with the door closed. To use the minibar you have to pay a rent of 2,50€/day (ridiculous), plus the consumed drinks. The jacuzzi near the swimming pool wasn't working.
The location
* The resort is set up at a beautiful beach, the view from the room was breath taking * the staff was very kind and helpful * Very Clean Hotel * Rooms cleaned every day * Very Good holiday Overall, Will Go Again!!! The walls in the rooms are very thin, could hear children crying.
Location, near bus stop. Balcony
Breakfast fabulous, hotel very clean and central location There wern't any
Stayed in apartment battached to hotel. Clean, but a little bare. 15 mins walk from harbour
I enjoyed the use of the spa facilities. The breakfast choice was excellent. We only stayed 1 night so did not make use of the restaurant. The only small thing was that the room smelt smokey when we first arrived, however I mentioned this and a maid came to spray it and this helped in freshening up the room.
Mostly Everything. Hot food at breakfast not very hot. No kettle in room for making tea or coffee
Staff were very helpful indeed and more than willing to provide local information. The spa facilities were also lovely, if a little small. The breakfast was a particular highlight with a huge range of food and quality each day.
Breakfast buffet was outstanding. Very nice simple pool and spa on the roof. The Telegraph bar is most pleasant.
Staying at Capri was very nice and we found the hotel staff to be very friendly and very helpful. We found the hotel and apartments very clean and well looked after. Overall a very pleasant stay and would return there without a doubt. Thank You.
Good location. Great breakfast The website said that there was a spa and a pool, but both were closed due to renovations during my stay.
pleasant staff It was too far to walk to the port in comfort and uphill to walk back-not good if you have back problems either as beds very hard. Noisy too, as road works in progress in the street below. If without car which we were no info about bus times etc
the staff - the food - the room - the hotel itself - 100% first class. i was in mahon to attend my brother in laws funeral staying at the barcalo made the unhappy event bearable. none
It was handy for completing business in Mahon. We stayed on half board and the food was not up to the standard my friend had previously experienced
We have stayed at The Hamilton in previous years, and their food and service has remained at a high level.
The location for us was very good, we like to walk to restaurants in the evening and the harbour was lovely. We did not like the fact that we had to move two days before the end of our holiday. The Hotel Capri, in Mahon was very nice but we would have prefered to be in a hotel situated more like the Hamilton
The hotel is in a great location in the Es Castel area. It is just a 5 minutes bus ride from the center of Mahon. The hotel was clean and we had a wonderful ocean and bay view after paying a small supplement. The bathroom size was adequate and the shower had good water pressure. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast had a wide variety of European foods. The hotel does not have ice machines.The air conditioning did not work very well -- it did not really cool the room down that much.The rooms, bathrooms, and hallways needed upgrading. We found some big beetle-type bugs running around in our room even though we were on the fourth floor. Finding parking near the hotel for a rental car was a challenge.
Close to lovely Es Castell. Great location and easy access to airport. Fantastic views across the port of Mahon.Enjoyed pool. Breakfast enjoyable Decor of hotel a little tired and threadbare. Not quite what I expected from Barcelo chain.
Food was very good & the staff are very freindly and helpful decor in the rooms where a bit tired looking
The staff were very pleasant and helpfull. I thought the food was very poor.The beds were very uncomfortable in the roon i stayed in.
Very pleasant stay but the room was very small and the shower and other facilities were a little tired.
Buffet, although little vegetables The first room they gave us was like a room in a low star hostel. We claim for another room and we had to stay in the same room 2 nights (we were only 5...). Moreover, the bathroom was not cleaned during our stay in the first room (towels in the same bad position we had left them, no shower gel for the second day). After that, they change us to a better quality room, in a fourth floor, sea sightseeing, bigger and better equiped.
location (near the beach); spa; sound isolation between the rooms needs to be improved; outdoor pool could benefit from being heated as of April/May
I liked everything: great location and food, quiet and nice views (and if you stay with sea view...) No
would not go back there price / service very poor
Good breakfast, convenient gym, pool area, friendly staff, which all contribute to a good, relaxing, healthy experience.
Nearness to beach and shops and resturants .The service and quality of food available at breakfast was very good.Rooms were cleaned every day Air conditioning was not operational even though it was quite warm at night.Staff at reception not very friendly or helpful on arrival and departure
Central, cleanliness of room Food wasnt up to very high standard, not in hotel nor in the area either, very basic and 'English' ie burgers, spaghetti, beans on toast or pizza everywhere!
Staff were helpful but not too over friendly.Lunch in the Pool restaurant was excellent all ingrediants fresh and cooked well. The Spa circuit was very good and the staff were helpful. No Car Parking. I arrived about Saturday 1 pm and there were no parking spaces anywhere as the Beach was packed with people. Could the Hotel have a few short stay spaces so then when the crowds have cleared you could then take the car awayand park somewhere else. I did just abandon the car on the Hotel forecourt as I had missed a nights sleep travelling and I could not go around the block again.They were kind and let me leave it there whilst I had a sleep!!
Beautiful sea view from our balcony. Our room appeared to have been recently and tastefully upgraded (seventh floor) and was a good size. Also, the hotel's proximity to the main beach and the cliff footpath for walking were welcome. Two evenings there was very loud music outside - but our balcony doors provided remarkable sound insulation and the aircon was good. There was a good selection at buffet breakfast, and the buffet evening meal which we sampled twice during our stay was also of a high standard and good value for money. It was helpful that the hotel offered us, without our request, a courtesy room to shower etc before we left on our last day because we had a late flight. We noted this room was much less attractive than our own. No criticism of hotel. The area is beautiful, busy but generally quiet, but there were not many good places to eat. For a short break this is perfect - if longer, you would definitely want transport to move around further.
The hotel is situated in a wonderful position and those at the front of the hotel enjoy some glorious views, although the higher you are the better. The spa & wellness centre is fantastic and incredible value for money if you take up their special offers! We booked a sea view room but those low down get obscured views. Once we asked the staff another room became available the following day. The cost of the computer in reception is ridiculous and very slow, plus the printer failed to work. What a waste of time and money.
The location is perfect for a restful holiday. There are plenty of sporting activities if you wish to use them. The pool and gardens are lovely. The staff were helpful and friendly. The food in the hotel is probably the best in the resort. The hotel is clean. The only minor problem - and it has taken me ages to find something I didn't like - was the balcony. Your neighbour can see into your room if you forget to close the curtains.
Good standard, value for money I found the hotel hard to find and carparking a problem
I like the view to the harbour and water You had to walk a lot of stairs to reach the hotel
excellent breakfast. amazing views. lovely staff. a little bit of walking into town which some people could stuggle with.
The accommodations were good and the staff friendly and helpful
The location, the friendly staff,and the proffessional running of the hotel, especially the blond lady that was at breakfast The bedroom was a little cold, we where not able to work the heating
Very good! staf is very friendly!!! Trully recommend!
veiws of harbour beds and small room
Distance from Mahon Centre and tired decor in room
Very friendly and helpful staff, air-conditioning a boon, shady garden for sitting in heat of the day, wonderful position overlooking the harbour and watching the fire-works, gargantuan breakfast, try the pomada,easy walking distance to bus-station, old town and local squares where you can stroll in the evening with the townsfolk.
The tall male member of staff was very pleasant and helpful. The air conditioning in the room I was given did not work at all, and after a change of room the following day the main light did not work. I felt that both faults were obvious, which led me to form the impression that the hotel is not well-maintained. The female staff member to whom I complained about the faulty facilities made me feel very awkward - as a paying guest of the hotel I did not appreciate her attitude at all.
It was easy to find, cheap to stay, and had very thing I needed. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included but wasn't good. Spent extra money to have a dinner at one of the nearby sister-hotels, and went through the pains of making a reservation and getting dressed up for it, but it was only a buffet with decent food. Located close to a few beaches, but the better ones were far away
There was nothing open only 6 people in the whole 120 room hotel no train as advertised no entertainment as advertised no poolside bar open the area is very very quite none of the 4 shops open ghost town
Perfect atmosphere for relax.
The staff friendliness above all and the extra activities (sports centre with mountain biking, diving, tennis, trekking, etc...) Accessibility (it's close to the airport, but is almost only accessible by car - poor bus service)
The location and the comfort. The quality of the food is good but not really excellent: I was expecting something more by a Sol Hotel.
The staff were very helpful and changed us to a room with view over pool and sea after we said we were dissappointed with the view we had.The food was excellent and great choice, watching the chef cooking was also quite entertaining. we also enjoyed some of the evening entertainment but would have liked some every night. I think the drinks from the bar were over priced so we made one last all the evening. The pool bar was not open during our stay but maybe that was because it was nearly end of season.
This was my first visit and I will be back. The hotel is perfect for a solo traveller who likes the beach and to walk with convenient meal times, excellent staff and facilities and centrally located. Thank you
Great location on beach. Small hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Almost totally adult guests when we were there. Food mostly OK, occasionally not hot enough. Towels very thin.
Good dinner. Friendly service. No wifi, no direct beach access.
The cleanliness and staff were first class Thank you. The food was fine but very much the same each day.Overall very good though.
Stayed there before - know the staffand the resort. We asked for a room with a view of the swimming pool and whilst no promises were given, we actually had a room that overlooked the refuse bins!!!
Excellent location and view from room, very clean, food fair to good, entertainment every evening except Sunday. The overall quality of the hotel suggests that this is not quite up to its four star rating. We stayed at El Fuerte hotel in Marbella for a week earlier this year which also claims four stars and it certainly had a superior feel.
The location was great. Important to have a car. All rooms with balconies. The view from our room was magnificent. The fact that we could smell smoke while sitting in our room. No separation between smoking rooms and nonsmoking.
Excellent location close to beach. Comfortable rooms.
The staff were friendly. The hotel has a magnificent view. The food was good. The pool was good. The publice areas are extensive and nice.
I think the location over looking the bay is probably its best asset together with a great swimming pool. The choice of food at the breakfast is excellent lots of fruits and juices and cooked dishes, as well as on demand omelette. The dinner buffet is excellent value for money. Also the staff are very nice especially Ester at the reception and the housekeeper respects your timing.The harbour is walking distance and best to see at night with all its lights and restaurants ie @Peter's Dinkums The acoustic from the rooms is the only little thing and also only BBC world in english and no french channels on the tv.
Its very old fashioned furniture wise.. Could really do with refurbishing..
excellent helpful staff breakfast excellent location breath taking he bathroom in need of updating
Convenient location, clean rooms, very friendly and helpful staff, good buffet breakfasts and dinners! Checking in and out took quite a while
The rooms were comfortable, clean and modern. The staff were friendly and helpfull. The spa was a little too dear. There was a wide choice of good quality food. The pool area was stylish, immaculate and spacious. The glass wall between the bathroom and bedroom could be a little "awkward" for friends when using the shower.
It's a modern hotel, with all of the commodities that we can expect from a 4* hotel. The rooms are pleasant and clean.
Location, at three minutes walking to Punta Prima beach, which is a great beach. Inside hotel area, everything is very spacefully, with a lot of green areas, trees, 4 swimming-pools, and things for all family.
We travelled with another couple and were put into ajoining rooms which was very convenient and made out stay more pleasurable
we have stayed at this hotel before (13 years ago) and have used the barcelo chain since, this hotel offers a wide range of facilities to cater for every age. an ideal family hotel very popular with other europeans not just british holiday makers.we will be returning.
I enjoyed our stay at the Hotel because it was relaxing, without too much disturbance from young people, particularly around the pool area. For a supposedly (applied for) 4 star hotel, the buffet food on every day of our 6 night stay was appalling.
The Staff were very helpfull and friendly. They were quick to move me after I complained about the location of my room. The rooms were very clean and modern. The room locations were badly planned as a lot of the rooms looked straight into another room with no view what so ever. I felt that I could not go out onto my balcony or leave the curtains open. I requested another room that was a lot quieter and looked out onto a field. The food was nice but not very hot.
We had a lovely room with a great view over the port. Only criticism, was the pool furniture was old and uncomfortable
The facilities were good and the position of the hotel was excellent We were not impressed by the self service restaurant although the food was reasonable if you were late to dinner it had been hanging around for a while. We would recommend bed and breakfast, rather than half or full board.
every thing
Nothing I did not like the very loud noise of the band. It spoils the beautiful look over the harbour at night. You could not talk with each other because of the music and you have to speak with a very loud voice to the waitress to place your order. the coffee machine was broken down and the machine who did work gave coffee drip by drip.
The view from the room fronting the port in the morning! The room service did not have all the menu items available, I had to change my order many times in order to finally get something I like.
Functional hotel in somewhat old fashioned style, located 10 minutes from the old city, nice views from some rooms over the harbour
Good location, good hotel, good room, good price! Not being able to get a meal 5 mins after the kitchen had closed.
We have stayed at the hotel on many occasions and you can always be assured of a warm reception. None. the buffet restaurant is also very good
Courtesy of all staff. Magnificent Mahon harbour view room. Buffet dinner at 15Euros good value No hot drink making facilities in room!!
We were given a free upgrade to a suite, which was to an excellent standard. The staff were friendly, professional and very helpful No
Hotel was exactly as advertised. Room was well equiped clean and spacious. a big plus point for Menorca in October was that we were able to control our own heating.
Hotel staff was very professional and helpful. The breakfast was very good. Installations very clean and confortabñe. Excellent quality/price relationship. I recommend this hotel to go with the family
Room was spacious and the view was good of the pool and beach in the distance. Generally lovely place for the cost. Noisy children around the pool area
Really nice apartment, pool and gym. Close to beach and shops.
helpfull staff,good pool area with beds,nice bar and fast elevators. poor bedhead lighting to read and nothing to wash up with in kichen
A well appointed 1970`s hotel,a par of the S`Algar developement,built around mature tropical gardens.Room clean with effective aircon,buffet breakfast excellent choice and well prepared lasting pleasingly late(10.30).Rooms cleaned thoroughly daily.Pool immaculate & large. Service at pool bar dreadful.Buffet dinner not really worth eating.NB:S`Algar is 5kms from the nearest town San Lluis,and has 1 small supermarket and 2 restaurants,no sandy beach.I hired a car for 3 days out of 6 there.
Beautiful location, excellent facilities with very pleasant, relaxing environment within the hotel. Very good spacious room overlooking sea and air conditioning was very welcome. A very pleasant holiday.
Lovely setting peaceful quiet resort, I was on holiday on my own and felt safe and relaxed at all time. Hotel perfect for older people not really for families. Every thing about the S'Algar is good perhaps the chef needs to stop putting sauce on everything and stick to simple cooking.
The quietness and non-commercial aspect of of the location I do not believe that the Buffet Main Meat,Fish,Veg selection was of 4* quality; I am basing this judgement on constant use of 4* hotels when away from home both in UK and Abroad
We liked the tranquility. we enjoyed the pool and the garden around it. The room is spacious and quite good. Some of the furniture was a little bit dated.
calm and peaceful hotel, very close to the beach although car is needed to move in the area. Good breakfast buffet
lovely gardens and pool area, great food everything was great. No
Nice swimming pools, breakfast ok. Beds are a bit hard. Rooms can be noisy when you're on the ground level and your neighbours upstairs are wearing tacones lejanos.
Room was clean and comfortable, and lovely pool Breakfast was ok, not enough entertainment and staff were not helpful as receptionist came from Majorca!
Spacious apartment,quiet location.Pool and garden areas attractive and well tended. Large and varied breakfast buffet.Lots of info available on local attractions,Plentiful car parking. No
Large rooms, buffet was OK. Reasonable option if you have a car and don't mind driving 30 minutes to get anywhere and you are looking for a (very) quiet place. Far from beach, far from any restaurants or shops. Spa and gym are not very good: sauna switched off, ancient equipment... Most tourists are parents with kids, there is absolutely nothing to do near the hotel.
