Ever wondered which foods are most likely to kill you due to bacterial infection? While basically no one should be shocked by "undercooked meat," some of the others are actually kind of surprising. These answers come to us courtesy of USA Today, which interviewed several food safety experts about which foods are and are not a gamble for your health. Let's dig in, shall we? As numerous experts point out, the color of meat is significantly less important than the temperature; meat needs to be cooked to 160 degrees to kill off germs, and well done burgers and steaks aren't really any less likely to harbor bacteria if they weren't cooked to a high enough temperature. So, basically, all of the "red meat shouldn't have pink/blood in it because that's dangerous" people are talking out of their asses, and you can still get sick from a well done steak. Maybe most interestingly, washing chicken and red meat actually helps spread bacteria. The least shocking entry on the list is probably raw shellfish such as oysters, specifically because of a bacterium called Vibrio vulnificus which can attack a person's liver and stomach. We're just going to pretend that's why I can't stand them, rather than the fact that they're essentially enshelled wads of oceanic mucus. Anyway, one thing the USA Today article doesn't note is that Vibrio is actually only found in saltwater, so freshwater oysters are at least nominally less dangerous than those from coastal areas. Also not shocking: unpasteurized milk is apparently a really bad idea. The unpasteurized milk craze has been a part of the "back to nature" or "raw" or "fucking stupid" food trend in recent years, but apparently it's one of the most dangerous things you can eat. The CDC in particular is really, really passionate about the dangers of unpasteurized milk, pointing out that prior to the advent of pasteurization (which actually doesn't adversely affect the nutritional content of milk), people used to boil milk before giving it to kids. Considering the overlap between the unpasteurized milk people and the lunatic anti-vaxxer crowd, I'm pretty sure the CDC knows what it's talking about here. One entry that seems superficially surprising is bean sprouts...until you realize that people within the food industry and health departments have been sounding the drum about bean sprouts for years. The first issue is that most dishes involving sprouts serve them raw, a fact the USA Today article notes. Another problem it doesn't list, however, is that the porous nature of sprouts actually makes them more difficult to wash, and since they need humid conditions to grow in the first place, bacteria like E. Coli, Listeria, and Salmonella find them an easy breeding ground. Among fruits and vegetables, bean sprouts are actually potentially the single most dangerous, according to the CDC. Also dangerous, though: canteloupes. Canteloupe skins apparently soak up bacteria more easily than other melons, and when you cut into them, it exposes the edible part of the fruit to that lovely microbiological cocktail. It's worth noting that any food CAN be dangerous, as bacteria can live anywhere — some foods are just more likely to suffer from issues than others. Improprieties in not just cooking, but also treatment and storage, can have hugely detrimental effects on whether or not food will make you sick. Still, it's always good to know what foods are bigger potential risk factors.

The president of Malaga Province, Elias Bendodo, told local television that around 600 people including foreign tourists had been evacuated from Competa.
"The fire forced the precautionary evacuation of houses," the regional government said in a statement, adding that around 200 people participating in a traditional festival were also moved from the path of the blaze. The fire also threatened areas of the Sierras de Tejeda national park before being brought under control, authorities said.
Around 600 people were evacuated from Competa on Spain's Costa del Sol on Sunday
as a wildfire threatened to engulf homes in the tourist hotspot, local authorities said. More than 100 firefighters and several planes and helicopters were deployed to battle the blaze, which began in an area of natural park close to the village of Competa, 50 kilometres (30 miles) from Malaga. Local firefighting authority Plan Infoca said the blaze had been "stabilised" at 1900 GMT after an operation lasting several hours.
The Cómpeta fire is now under control after affecting 100 hectares
The Cómpeta fire is now under control after affecting 100 hectares The fire which broke out on Sunday afternoon in Cómpeta forced the evacuation of 600 residents. Sun Jun 29, 2014 - 22:22 The fire broke out just after 1pm in the Sierra de Tejeda, in Cómpeta on the border with Canillas de Abaida. Photo - Cómpeta Ayuntamiento At 10pm on Sunday night, the front closest to the village was extinguished, but the level 1 alert continues. Five homes in the upper part of the village have been affected as has the local football pitch. Work was concentrated on the Sierra de Tejeda and Almijara Nature Park where most Infoca fire-fighting crews are working. A force of 200 on the ground and as many as 19 airborne measures, two of which were amphibious planes from the Environment Ministry. They were taking water from the nearby La Viñuela reservoir. The extinction of the fire was complicated by the strong northerly winds in the area and the high temperatures. A spokesman from the Provincial Firemen’s Consortium (CPB) Manuel Marmolejo said, ‘The wind is the worst, and there have been some critical moments, because at one time we thought the fire could reach the village, and we had a bad time’. President of the Provincial Government, Elias Bendodo, said there was ‘correct and perfect’ coordination between the several services fighting the fire, and he underlined the work of the Guardia Civil in the evacuation. The fire is worst in the municipality for forty years, and the homes which were completely destroyed are in the Cruz del Monte estate, according to the Mayor, José Luis Torres, who was taking to La Opinión de Málaga. There were precautionary evacuations in the northern zone of the village, in Las Colmenillas, Tejarillo. 200 people who were on a romeria pilgrimage from Canillas de Albaida who were in the zone of the ‘Fabrica de la Luz’ were among the 600 evacuated. The ecologist group GENA Ecologistas en Accion, accused the local and regional authorities for the fire. The collective issued a statement: ‘It appears the fire has started in the area of disperse urbanisation, which the local authorities, and by omission the Junta de Andalucía, who have allowed construction outside the village limits, in a zone of difficult access and with abundant forest vegetation.

Spain decides to make up for its persecution of Jews, but won’t do the same for Muslims
Half a millennium ago, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand presented Jews living here with a stark choice: leave, convert or face burning at the stake. Some 50,000 Jews would eventually flee after passage of the Edict of Expulsion in 1492, giving birth to the Sephardic diaspora — “Sepharad” meaning “Spain” in Hebrew. Today their descendants live mainly in Israel, France, the United States and Turkey. Among those who remained, some who formally converted secretly maintained their faith under fear of constant persecution by the merciless Spanish Inquisition. Now the Spanish authorities are finally seeking to redress the injustice. Earlier this month, the government approved a draft bill that would grant dual citizenship to those who can prove themselves to be descendants of expelled Jews — in addition to passing a Spanish culture test. Officials say they expect up to 90,000 applications in the coming years. The same privilege isn’t being conferred on members of another community that was expelled because of policies aimed at maintaining “clean Christian blood.” More than a century after the Jewish expulsion, the Moriscos — Arabs previously forced to renounce Islam and become baptized — suffered the same fate. Around 275,000 ended up in North Africa, where they left an imprint on architecture, music and cuisine. A Moroccan association representing their descendants recently sent Spain’s King Juan Carlos I — who abdicated this month in favor of his son Felipe — a letter requesting the same conciliatory measure. The authorities balked. Denying accusations of double standards in an interview with El Pais newspaper, Undersecretary of Justice Juan Bravo wrote, “We’re not rewarding being expelled, but maintaining Spain’s links with its culture.” “The Sephardim kept their identity traits,” he added, referring to expelled Jews, while Moriscos “assimilated to the culture of the places they settled.” Despite their treatment, both previously persecuted groups influenced Spanish culture in ways that are still very much evident today. More than 10 percent of Spanish men have a “very high” proportion of genetic characteristics attributable to populations originating in North Africa, and almost 20 percent to Sephardic Jewish ancestors, researchers from Leicester University in England and Spain’s Pompeu Fabra University found in 2008. But there are far more visible traces in tradition and language. The ubiquitous Serrano ham legs hanging in restaurants and homes across the country are the legacy of public displays of pork-eating — prohibited by Judaism and Islam — by new or pretending Christians hundreds of years ago. “Those never seen eating pork became suspects of the Inquisition,” says historian Sebastian de la Obra, director of Casa Sefarad, a museum of Sephardic culture and tradition in the Andalusian city of Cordoba. The Spanish expression “hacer sabado,” or “Saturdaying,” refers to housecleaning and washing by converted Jews, who left windows and doors open to prove they weren’t observing the Sabbath, the Jewish holy day of rest. The eight-century Muslim presence in Spain is particularly evident in architecture, perhaps most famously in Granada’s magnificent Alhambra fortress and in the Great Mosque of Cordoba, now a cathedral. The Spanish language has thousands of words derived from Arabic. Some believe even the famous “Ole!” frequently heard in bullfighting, flamenco shows and almost everywhere else may come from “Allah.” Spaniards have traditionally downplayed that huge cultural impact, says Rosa Isabel Martinez Lillo, a professor in the Arab and Islamic Studies Department of the Autonoma University in Madrid. “There’s a tendency from the time of the Catholic kings to deny every Arab influence on our thinking or acting, to separate Spanish and Arab idiosyncrasies,” she says.
A Spanish mayor has been charged for setting a town on fire after ignoring a fireworks ban
A Spanish mayor has been charged for setting a town on fire after ignoring a fireworks ban. The illegal pyrotechnics resulted in a massive hillside blaze, which forced some residents of the town to evacuate from their homes. Despite a ban, which had been implemented because of an extremely high risk of forest fires, Mayor Ernesto Sanjuan gave the go ahead for a fireworks display on April 26 in the town of Cullera in southeastern Spain. Sanjuan was charged along with the display’s organizer, Andreu Piqueras, who are both members of Spain’s ruling People’s Party.

Smugglers arrested after landing drugs on tourist beach in broad daylight
THREE PEOPLE have been detained in Estepona, Malaga, for trying to unload 234 kilos of hashish onto a beach frequented by tourists. Several complaints were lodged with the Local Police reporting that, in broad daylight and in full view of all the beachgoers, smugglers were unloading large amounts of drugs from boats and then these drugs were being taken to the cars waiting on the promenade. The police investigated the claims and found that this was taking place on the Piedra Paloma beach; the smugglers were using a small pleasure craft to bring the drugs close to the beach and then just unloading them and carrying them to cars waiting on the closest road. While they carried the drugs to the waiting cars they frequently threatened the beach goers with violence if they said anything or raised the alarm with the police. A surveillance operation on the aforementioned beach produced three arrests and the confiscation of 234 kilos of hashish, two mobile phones, the small pleasure craft and a GPS. Police were later able to identify and arrest the owner of the pleasure craft.
Police jailed for torturing British tourists
FOUR Guardia Civil officers have been jailed for torturing two British tourists in Palma. The officers, who were found guilty by a Palma court, have been sentenced to terms of between two and four years imprisonment. The events took place in 2009, in Santa Ponca, when two British men were having a fight and one of them hit a Guardia Civil sergeant. Both men were detained and taken to the police station where they were beaten by the accused all night and most of the next day. The Guardia Civil even used objects like truncheons to beat them. Neither of the victims appeared in the court to take part in the prosecution and, as such, the exact circumstances of the beatings are unknown. The prosecution considered that the medical reports on the victims were enough to prove the case. The sergeant has been sentenced to four years in prison and a life-long ban from public service employment. He will also have to pay a fine of €2,455. The other three officers were given two years in prison each and banned from public service employment for eight years.

Traditional FREE Sardines scrapped as austerity package adds to Malagas woes. A SPECTACULAR rainbow heralded the start of one of Spain’s best-loved summer festivals. San Juan – otherwise known as the festival of fire – more than lived up to its nickname this week. Bonfires and fireworks lit up the midnight sky over the Costa del Sol, with massive fiestas filling the streets of the coast’s towns. Among the best vantage points were Sabinillas – with live music and a mini fairground – and Sonora, where the young and free-spirited treated themselves to a midnight dip and warmed themselve
Following the tragic death of the National Policeman who was stabbed on the 21 of last month in Malaga the police unions are again looking at the equipment that the police are given
Following the tragic death of the National Policeman who was stabbed on the 21 of last month in Malaga the police unions are again looking at the equipment that the police are given with which to carry out their duties without risking their lives in the process. The Spanish Confederation of Police (CEP) is compiling a list of all the complaints previously presented in order to bring a general list to the attention of the Police High Command. Juan Carlos Gil, secretary general of the CEP, is demanding that, among other pieces of equipment, the motorcycle police be given their own helmets as they currently have to pass helmets around at the end/beginning of shifts to make sure that everyone has one. He claims this is unhygienic and shows a lack of care for the rank and file from the Command. Gil is also asking for the bike police to be given the correct equipment in the correct sizes for the individual person as, currently, the elbow, knee, shin and back protectors they are given are “one size fits nobody”.
Act of God Spain’s team plane struck by lightning
Spain’s national team had a hair raising return flight from their dismal World Cup after their plane was struck by lightning. Spanish media has reported that the La Roja team were on their way home to Madrid from Curitiba, via Las Palmas, when lightning struck one of the aeroplane’s wings, causing what sounded like an explosion. The pilot reported that there had been no injuries and that all Spanish players and accompanying media representatives had left the plane uninjured. The teams’ extraordinarily rapid exit from the World Cup, their worst ever performance in a World Cup competition, was slightly softened by the team’s 3-0 win over Australia last night (Tuesday) after being eliminated in the first round. The team took an Iberian flight back to Madrid and arrived dressed in black tracksuits, ignoring the waiting media. Waiting fans were left disappointed as the players all left Adolfo Suárez airport via a back door.
Zero tolerance for ignoring bylaws
NOISE pollution, terrace tables that crowd out pedestrians and organised begging are promised “zero tolerance” in Benidorm. Bylaws must be obeyed to the letter, declared mayor Augustin Navarro. “The traditional balance between leisure and the right to rest has been lost in favour of the first,” Navarro said. He was not going to stand by and let the Old Town to lose its population as people moved out because they couldn’t sleep at night, he added. Why turn central streets into pedestrian precincts to further business for bars and restaurants if they the pavements with more tables than were permitted, he asked. Policia Local officers are now checking the number of outdoor tables against town hall records. If transgressors do not remove tables of their own accord they would be officially removed “clients and all,” Navarro threatened. The town hall is also concerned about the beggars brought into town each day by criminal groups of human traffickers. Although the Policia Local acts rapidly in removing them, they needed the cooperation their counterparts as the gangs are based outside Benidorm. “Benidorm is a safe place,” said Public Safety councillor Pepe Marcet. “Figures show a low crime rate but that does not mean we can drop our guard,” he warned.

Pierrade refers to the stone which rests above the heating element on my machine
.
Pierre means stone, so a pierrade is a stone-like thing. This is definitely NOT a French monopoly in the food world: cooking your food on a hot stone slab. Still, it's a lot of fun and as you are heating up the machine for cheese-melting it would be a waste not to slap some meat on the top of the element, right? Cooking the meat is the responsibility of the guests: just lay the meat on the hot slab and remember to turn it over and remove it when done. Generally, one person is designated to keep an eye on each of the meats, making sure that more is put on the element as space becomes available. In using the pierrade, a cook has a bit more scope for creativity. First, you can prepare a variety of meats and marinate them in sauces if you like. Secondly, you can come up with tasty sauces to accompany your meats. This time I kept to a fairly simple meat selection: the Savoie ham, slices of beef and pieces of chicken with a touch of olive oil to keep them from sticking to the stone. The store had a good selection of the new fall mushrooms, so I bought trompettes de la mort, oyster mushrooms, some that looked a bit like shiitake (but weren't) and a new one to me: pieds bleus. I sauteed them in a bit of butter, garlic and thyme and added a spoonful of creme fraiche just before serving. (Not only was this delicious with the beef, but I ate the remainder tonight with some leftover raclette on toast and it went extremely well with the cheese too!) For the chicken, I sauteed a chopped shallot in butter, and added a little tarragon, mustard and creme fraiche. Other favourites in the sauce department are: peppercorn sauce, bearnaise, tomato and hot pepper...basically anything you can think of to go with meat will please your guests! As for the meat, I also often use slices of duck or pork. The duck can get a bit messy as it gives up more fat than the other meats, but it is truly delicious. Serve all of the above, cheese and meats, with a nice thick red wine to help fight all the cholesterol you are taking on. It's well worth it!

Massive Closure Of Electronic Cigarette Shops Throughout Spain
The boom appears to be over for the countless electronic cigarette shops that opened all over Spain during the past few years. Commercial premises which were up until very recently selling electronic cigarettes have now got big ‘for rent’ or ‘for sale’ signs hanging in their shop windows. The ANCE (National Association of the Electronic Cigarette) admits that around 60-70% of the businesses dedicated to selling the electronic cigarette have closed. A spokesperson for Buy a Business in Spain suggests that the type of business has “short legs” and that anyone looking to start a business in Spain “should focus on industries that either have solid legislation surrounding them” or those that have “a proven demand by consumers”.

71 Bathing Areas in Spain Classified As ‘Bad Quality’
According to the European Environment Agency (EEA), Spain is among the countries in Europe with the worst bathing quality areas – a total of 3%. The annual bathing water quality report from the European Environment Agency (EEA) tracks the water quality at 22 000 bathing sites across the EU, Switzerland and, for the first time, Albania. Alongside the report, the EEA has published an interactive map showing how each bathing site performed in 2013. 92% of bathing waters in Spain were considered of good quality or excellent, placing the country below the European average of 95%. Cyprus came in at 100% (excellent), with Malta at 99% (excellent), Greece at 93% (pass or excellent) and Croatia at 95% (pass or excellent). According to the report, 3% of the areas analyzed, did not present the minimum conditions or were closed entirely due to ‘abnormal’ situations detected or due to being contaminated. The highest rates of poor or non-compliant bathing waters have been found in Estonia (5.7 %), the Netherlands (5.1 %), Belgium (3.5 %), France (3.5 %), Spain (3.3 %) and Ireland (3.0 %). 71 bathing areas throughout Spain were classified as ‘bad quality’ with over 40 of them located in Galicia, the north of Spain.

Join protest against Repsol drilling on the Costa del Sol
PROTESTERS will gather in Fuengirola next weekend to raise their voices against the hunt for oil and gas on the coast. Spanish oil company Repsol is due to start prospecting off the coast of Mijas in February 2015, but the plans – approved by the Spanish government in 2004 – have been met with outrage. As part of the exploration, a semi-submersible platform will be located just eight kilometres off the beach by the Faro de Calaburras lighthouse in Mijas Costa, 12km southwest of Fuengirola.
