Getting into a Tizzy
A vending machine that bakes a fresh pizza in minutes has caused some controversy after its recent launch in Italy. Developer Claudio Torghele revealed that the machine - developed with help from Unilever - had proved popular in two Italian regions, but gourmets call it an affront to the traditional methods of cooking. The Let’s Pizza machine uses infra-red rays and technology developed at Bologna University to knead flour and water into a dough, spread it with tomato sauce as well as a choice of four possible toppings and cook it in less than three minutes at an average cost of four Euros. This has been scoffed at by the Association of Italian Pizzerias, whose spokesman Pino Morelli called the machine a toy. He added that a Pizza, that was invented in Naples in the 18th century, cannot be rushed; the dough must be mixed and left for twelve hours, the ingredients should be absolutely fresh and the oven kept at a constant temperature of 300 degrees Chef Marcello of the Pizzeria Brandi in Naples where the first Pizza was born, stated: Unfortunately today, people invent many things, but you can’t really make any comparison, especially in terms of quality

THE FALLAS IN FIGURES
Valencia Town Hall has revealed that during the recent Falla festivities, some 7,500 tons of garbage and ash were collected, and that over three hundred thousand Euros were spent in correcting damage to rubbish bins and other urban furniture such as public benches. Ramon Sanchis, the Environmental Councillor stated that the figures for garbage were markedly similar to last year, but stated that he was disappointed at the extensive vandalism that had taken place, particularly with regard to plants in the Blanquerias area of the City, where 17,000 plants had o be replaced and 13,000 Euros was spent on new pots that replaced others that had been smashed <<>> Meanwhile, the Valencian Railway Services has reported that it carried over two million people during the main Falla days, mostly on lines 3 and 5 of the Metro, with the most popular stops being Xativa, Colon and the Plaza de Espana

Public Administrations Minister Elena Salgado, who was in Castellon yesterday, stated that March 25 would be the date of the next meeting between three administrations - the Socialist Government, the Valencian Government and Valencia Town Hall - in an effort to create a new consortium for the Americas Cup in 2010, after Valencia was confirmed as the site. Miss Salgado added that the meeting would be very long and extremely detailed, and in her opinion, the Government had shown what she termed as sufficient interest that Valencia be the site for the next regattas. However, she also stated that until the decision is handed down by the Supreme Court of New York, no one has any real idea of exactly how the next competition will take place
GETTING CLOSER?
Lorenzo Agusti, the Mayor of Paterna, admitted yesterday that he expected a positive response from Swedish furniture giant IKEA over where it would set up in the Valencian Community in the next few days. As to whether IKEA would in fact set up a huge store in Paterna, Mr Agusti would only state that telephone calls between the Town Hall and IKEA had intensified over the last few days
