Tuesday Tidings - Part 1

As a rainy Tuesday comes our way, here are some things going on:

From Dutch News, according to Schiphol Airport's chief, the airport is not responsible for problems with its fuel supply.  (A person in authority denying to have made mistakes.  That's more like normal.  If you read Dutch, read the story at NOS.)
