Bill Warren makes his living searching for shipwrecks. But, now, the California man has decided to turn his attention to the Arabian Sea, where he will search for the body of Osama bin Laden.

The BBC World Service reports:

... Warren says that he wants to establish once and for all whether the al-Qaeda leader was killed by US forces in May, and then buried out at sea.

Mr Warren, 59, says his search will begin in about four weeks time, and will cost around $400,000 (£245,000).

Tensions are ratcheting up in the South China Sea after a confrontation between Chinese and Vietnamese vessels.

For the first time in more than 30 years, the Food and Drug Administration has revamped its standards for sunscreens.

Adopting someone else's holidays can be an uphill battle. You can smile politely and appreciate from a distance, but deep down you're struggling to understand unfamiliar songs, customs and family traditions. Deep down, it's hard to make a new holiday really feel like your own. Unless that holiday is midsommar.

Off-campus problems involving college students are well documented; rowdy parties, excessive noise and illegal parking. The head of an organization that works to improve relations between universities and their host communities contends their relationships are improving. Kim Griffo of the International Town and Gown Association says it’s in the interest of all parties to talk-out their differences.

Like his predecessors, President Barack Obama sometimes has to shake hands with dictators.

During his speech last month about the Arab Spring protest movements, Obama suggested that America's interests would come to be better aligned with its values.

But Obama has continued to meet with authoritarian leaders from the Middle East and Africa, while the U.S. still gives aid to dictators in other parts of the globe, as well.

Swedish new potatoes are served quite simply, with just a pat of melted butter and sprinkling of salt and fresh dill. To dress this up for party fare, I adapted a recipe from Jamie Oliver's Jamie at Home (Hyperion 2008), placing the dilled potatoes (with a bit of lemon and capers to spark them up) on a bed of beloved-in-Sweden-and-America smoked salmon (or if you prefer, the more Swedish cold-cured gravlax), and dressing the whole thing with a creamy horseradish sauce.

2 shots aquavit

4 shots lingonberry juice

Juice of 1/2 lime

1 scant shot triple sec

Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice, and shake to mix and chill. Strain into two cocktail glasses, with ice, and serve.

Elfin magic? Not so much, actually, at a Kellogg factory that makes Keebler and Famous Amos cookies.

The Food and Drug Administration just slapped Kellogg for alleged quality lapses at a Augusta, Georgia, plant in a warning letter that was released today.

In 1984, Neil Young was sued by his record company, Geffen Records, for making albums it deemed "artistically uncharacteristic."

Fed up, Neil Young gathered a band of amazing Nashville musicians he called The International Harvesters, and hit the road. Recordings from those dates have been uncovered with five unreleased Neil Young tunes. The album is more traditional country than anything he'd done before.
