The world waited with bated breath last night as rescue teams finalised plans to bring the 33 trapped Chilean miners to the surface. rescuers were confident that they could winch the men to the surface in the specially designed escape capsule, and have reinforced the escape shaft with metal tubes. The rescue was brought forward from midnight

WORLD e final Miners, systems and parking...
By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
As we go to press, we are hearing that the miners have been told to pack only things that are essential to them for their journey to the surface, reportedly starting at 11pm this evening our time. The medics are waiting with all their gear to decend to check them over before their ascent and we wish all of them a safe journey back to the surface and their families. last week one of the drivers that delivers the papers from the printers to our own distribution people fell asleep which meant that half the papers arrived at 7.30am instead of 2.30am. If this affected your deliveries at all, we sincerely apologise but it was totally out of our control! I see that hospitals in Spain are about to charge for parking your car and I distinctly remember when they started doing this in the uK (and have carried on ever since). Personally I think this is a disgusting thing to do. You have a relative in said hospital that is sick or even dying and you have to faff about looking for change for the meter - I don’t think so! Also, what about people who go to the hospitals to give blood? not only are they doing a great service - you think they want to get a needle stuck in them? - now they’re going to be made to pay for doing it too! My husband has a very rare blood group and we had a special parking permit in the uK. Here they won’t take British blood. Spanish residents & people ....fight this practice tooth and nail!!
countdown More than 1,000 journalists from around the world were waiting to record the historic moment when the first miner stepped out of the capsule and onto firm ground. Once on the surface the miners will find a host of surprises in store. They have been invited to Spain to watch Real Madrid in action and to the UK to see Manchester United play, as well as being promised a week’s holiday in the Greek Islands plus bonuses from wellwishers. And now Hollywood studios will step forward ready to give the green light to a movie about the survival story to beat all. As of last night Spanish actor and Oscar winner Javier Bardem was already being talked of as having a starring role. President Sebastian Pinera was among those waiting to greet the men and security had been tightened, with police on horseback patrolling the hillsides surrounding the remote desert site. A test of the rescue capsule, called Phoenix, was carried out successfully on Monday, descending almost the whole way down the 622m shaft, engineers said. The drill which reached the miners’ position on Saturday was given a rousing send-off on
Monday. The so-called "Plan B" drill was driven away surrounded by crowds of photographers and cheered by hundreds of people across the site. Shortly afterwards, officials briefed the media on the latest developments in the bid to bring the miners to the surface. Chief engineer Andre Sougarret said a formal test of the shaft had been successful, with the specially constructed Phoenix rescue capsule barely registering a scratch as it travelled up and down the tunnel. Earlier, the top of the shaft had been reinforced with metal casing to prevent crumbling surface rocks from breaking away during the rescue. The rest of the escape shaft was dug through solid rock and would not break up. Chile's mining minister Laurence Golborne told journalists that the operation would not be rushed. Sixteen highly trained rescuers members of the Chilean special forces and veterans of previous underground rescues - were poised to begin the process of bringing out the miners. But the rescuers would only be told at the last minute which of them would lead off the rescue attempt, Mr Golborne said. The miners had already been informed about which of them would be amongst the first out of the

The men were fitted with monitoring devices to detect any physical problems as they rose to the surface. They were also given sunglasses to protect their eyes from the glare of the lights awaiting them at the top.
The 33 men were trapped underground when part of the San Jose copper and gold mine in the Atacama desert collapsed on August 5th. A second collapse on August 7th hampered rescue efforts, blocking access to the lower parts of the mine, which is located 800km north of the capital, Santiago. The mine’s main path - or rampa - reaches down to 720m below the surface and the collapses, which blocked exit routes, had taken place between 400m and 500m. Rescue

teams drilled a number of exploratory boreholes, sending listening probes down knowing that, despite the collapse of some ventilation shafts, the miners may have survived. Seventeen days after the accident, rescuers found a note from the miners attached to one of the probes saying "Estamos bien en el refugio los 33" - "All 33 of us are well inside the shelter."Since then they have been in the media spotlight around the world.

PM jeered at National Day parade Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero was received with whistles and shouts of “Resign” when he arrived in the Plaza de Lima for the traditional National Day military march past on Tuesday. The heckling continued as the PM greeted King Juan Carlos, Queen Sofia, Crown Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia, the Infanta Elena and the Infanta Cristina and her husband, the Duke of Palma, on their arrival. It was the fifth year running that Sr
Zapatero had been received in this way. A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence attributed the whistles and jeering to “small organized groups” who had been summoned through Facebook, Twitter and text messages. Throughout the
ceremony, shouts of “Zapartero, resign” could be heard in the background. Otherwise the sun shone on the 3,000 men and women, on foot, on horseback and in tanks, while 50 planes flew overhead, some of them having “painted” the
Spanish flag across the sky at the start of the ceremony while others dropped a team of paratroopers who landed almost at the King's feet. The parade proper began after King laid a wreath in hone our of the Spanish soldiers who lost their lives in

Drop in number of prisoners
Crown Prince ready to reign
Spain’s prisons currently house 931 fewer prisoners than last year, according to the latest official figures.
Two journalists whose book “Doña Sofia: La reina habla de su vida”, about Queen Sofia, have just brought out “Los Principes: Preparados para reinar”(The Prince and Princess ready to reign) The book is based on interviews with more than 70 people who are involved in the royal couple’s official and private activities. On Princess Letizia, Carmen Enriquez and Emilio Oliva warn of the dangers of the so-called “pink” press’s coverage of every detail of her life, especially her clothes, saying that it tends to trivialize the monarchy -
through no fault of the Princess, they add. They credit Doña Letizia with changing her husband, making him more approachable and relaxed in public and, given that she is a commoner herself, of bringing the monarchy closer to the people. The Prince, they say, has managed to convert himself from a night owl to a morning lark in order to
be able to carry out his duties. Behind the scenes, he enjoys partaking of tapas and wine with friends and is a devoted family man. As for the Infanta Leonor, the authors say that despite her tender years she has already learned the art of diplomacy. When one of her little friends at school asked her why she got her photo in
www.thenewsonline.es
the press so often, she replied: “Because I live in the home of a prince”. Despite fears that the Spanish monarchy may be a one-off affair and will founder when King Juan Carlos dies, the authors point out that more than 80% of the Spanish people have consistently said in successive polls that they will happily accept the Prince and Princess as their
future King and Queen, although adding “and long may he (Juan Carlos) reign”. The people interviewed by the authors include Speaker Jose Bono, opposition leader Mariano Rajoy, Madrid mayor Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon and Cayo Lara, the Communist leader of Izquierda Unida (United Left).
It is the first drop in a decade, with the number of prisoners rising from 50,000 at the turn of the century to 76,000 last year. The official figures do not provide a breakdown and it is not known if the drop is the result of fewer prisoners entering or more leaving the country’s jails. Despite the drop, Spain still has the highest number of prisoners per 100,000 inhabitants than the rest of the EU countries.
More Spaniards stay at home Just over half of Spaniards aged 18 to 34 are still living with their parents, according to Eurostat, in comparison with an average of 46% in the rest of the EU countries. Two thirds are men, 60% of the male and female stay-at-
Valley of the Fallen tombs opened in secret According to this week’s edition of the magazine “Interviu”, a team of forensic scientists entered the ossuary of the Valley of the Fallen, where Franco is buried, on September 6th. They entered without an official warrant to inspect the state of the bodies of the Republican soldiers who are buried there alongside those of men who fought on the
dictator’s side. The ossuary contains the remains of some 40,000 people and the families of nine of the Republican soldiers, whose bodies were dug up and reburied without their consent, have applied for their exhumation and reburial. According to the forensic report, it is impossible to identify individual remains, many of which are in boxes with numbers but no
names and most of the boxes contain hundred of skeletons, of which only six or seven skeletons are identified by their place of origin. The report said that humidity had rotted all the boxes and it would be impossible to separate them without causing a general collapse. The government has informed the families accordingly.

Town sued for royalties Esteban Salas, the mayor of Torrechiva, Castellon province, has been summoned to appear in court on October 19th in connection with unpaid music royalties which the General Society of Authors and Editors (SGAE) claims the town has not paid on music played during its annual ferias for the past five years. Mayor Salas told reporters that the SGAE had
billed the town for the music of several activities which did not take place because of bad weather. He said the Society’s demand for €3,000 represented more than half his council’s yearly income from taxes paid by the town’s residents of just under 100.

Sr Salas said he had not even seen the SGAE’s invoice for royalties until a copy of it was served to him along with the court
The province’s High Court threw out the case on the grounds that the play was in the public domain, its author having died in 1681.
Last year, the Society tried to make the small town of Zalamea de la Serena in Badajoz province, Extremadura, pay royalties for its annual presentation of “El Alcade de Zalamea” by Calderon de la Barca.

More civil ceremonies than church weddings
Child pornography network busted The National Police arrested 57 people in raids on Friday in connection with child pornography allegations and are investigating another 47 in the same case. Those detained include business owners, local police officers, students, unemployed people and a gardener who made pornographic films as a hobby who had filmed two nieces aged seven and 14 in sexual poses. They also detained several women who had allowed their phone lines to be used by the file-sharing network. In 97 raids across the country, 400 policemen seized 328 hard disks, 40
laptops, 21 CPUs, hundreds of DVDs and CDs, 13 pendrives and eight memory cards. The police had used used software developed by Norwegian police to detect people exchanging child pornography on peer-topeer networks, which allow users to exchange files online directly between computers. The authorities described it as one of the biggest raids in years. Hundreds of people have
been arrested in Spain in recent years for distributing child pornography. The biggest raid was in October 2008 when 121 suspects were detained.

Last year the number of civil ceremonies outnumbered church weddings for the first time in ten years. A spokesman for the National Institute of Statistics said the trend essentially reflected the general drift away from religion but had also been influenced by the economic crisis. He said church weddings cost much more than civil ceremonies and predicted that once the economic crisis eased, more people would want to get married in church. “It's so much more special,” he said.

St Valentine's a holiday Barcelona mayor Jordi Hereu's decision to make both St Valentine's Day and the Day of Our Lady of the Mercies (September 24th) local holidays as of next year has been criticised by the opposition parties. They have accused him of not consulting local merchants, who stand to lose money. And the nationalists have pointed out that Barcelona already has its Dia de los Enamorados, St George's Day on April 23rd, which has been traditionally celebrated as Lovers' Day throughout Catalonia.

A very long waited reply The Partido Popular's spokesman on the parliamentary budget committee, Vicente Martinez-Pujalte, complained on Monday that the government has taken two years to reply to the question he made about the budget in October 2008. He had asked how much money was to be allocated to modernise the hydraulic infrastructures in several municipalities in Murcia. He received the reply on September 23rd this year giving him the details pertaining to the 2008 budget and accused the government of making a mockery of Parliament. MADRID

The National Institute of Statistics (INE) has calculated that some 460,000 people will have arrived in Spain by the end of this year, down from the million who arrived in 2007, when the economic crisis was just taking off. The drop in immigrants plus an ageing population will result in lower population growth in all the country's regions. And it will actually drop in some, such as Asturias , the Basque Country, Castilla-Leon, Galicia and La Rioja, where deaths will outnumber births.

World News Toxic spill factory CEO arrested

1963
Beatlemania was coined after the Fab Four appearance at Palladium
Zoltan Bakonyi accused of public endangerment
The chief executive of the industrial plant at the centre of the toxic sludge spill in Hungary was taken in for questioning by police on Monday. Speaking to parliament, prime minister Viktor Orban blamed "human negligence" for the spill. He said it was not a natural catastrophe but brought about by people, and the damages must be paid first and foremost not by taxpayers but by those who caused the damage. He said there was evidence that some people knew about the dangerous weakening of the
reservoir wall, “but for personal reasons they thought it wasn't worth repairing and hoped there would be no trouble." Zoltan Bakonyi, the arrested executive, said last week that the reservoir had been inspected daily and no signs of weakness had been spotted. The prime minister said
that to preserve the jobs of the alumina plant's workers, the company owning it MAL Hungarian Aluminium - would be brought under state control until those affected had been compensated and the damage cleaned up. Eight people have so far died from the October 4th spill near Ajka in the west of the country and about 150
people were also injured after up to 700,000 cubic metres of toxic by-product from the production of alumina burst from a storage reservoir. The residue has covered an area of 40 sq km (15.6 sq miles) and the contamination has spread into the region's waterways. All life in the Marcal river, which feeds the Danube, is said to have been
extinguished. The sludge reached the Danube on Thursday, but Hungarian officials said on Friday that the pH level in the river was "normal", easing fears that Europe's second-longest river would be significantly polluted. Engineers and disaster relief workers, aided by volunteers, have been racing to finish an emergency dam
France hit by third national strike
The most contentious parts - raising the standard minimum retirement age from 60 to 62, and the age for a full state pension to 67 from 65 - have already been approved. Last week President
Nicolas Sarkozy said he would inject more money into his retirement reform bill so mothers of three or more children, and parents of handicapped children could retire earlier. But he said there would be no concessions on the key elements of the bill, which is expected to be passed by the Senate in the next two weeks.
French workers can expect to spend more of their life in retirement than those in any other country, according to figures from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Currently, both men and women in France can retire at 60, providing they have paid social security
contributions for 40.5 years although they are not entitled to a full pension until they are 65. The government has said it will save â‚Ź70bn by raising the retirement age to 62 by 2018, the qualification period to 41.5 years, and the pension age to 67. Unions and opposition politicians say the plan puts an unfair
burden on workers, particularly women, parttimers and the former unemployed who may struggle to hit the 41.5 year requirement. They have put forward counter proposals, including calls for taxes on certain bonuses and on the highest incomes to help fund the pension system.
Dame Joan Sutherland dies aged 83 Dame Joan Sutherland, one of the greatest operatic sopranos of the 20th century, has died in Switzerland at 83. The Australian star, who retired from the stage 20 years ago, had been in poor health following a fall. Dame Joan made her debut at London's Covent Garden in 1952, and went on to make some 40 recordings of 33 different operas, anthologies
and other music. She won a Grammy in 1961 for best classical performer of the year. She became associated with the lead role in Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, singing it 233 times during her career. She performed with other greats
during her career, including Luciano Pavarotti, who described her as having "the voice of the century". Pavarotti toured with her in Australia during the 1960s . Spanish soprano Monserrat Caballe once said that the singer's voice was "like
EU experts are helping the Hungarians with the emergency dam, as well as assessing the longer-term impact of the spill on the ground water and the soil. They are also examining the potential airborne health hazard posed by the mud drying out.

heaven". Dame Joan was dubbed La Stupenda for her vocal range and stage presence after a 1960 performance at Venice's La Fenice opera house. She sang at the Sydney Opera House when it opened in 1973, and bowed out with
her final series of concerts there in 1990. She was appointed a Dame in the 1979 New Year's Honours list. After retiring she continued to nurture burgeoning talent and was patron of the Cardiff Singer of the World competition.
Japanese and Korean media reported on Tuesday that the eldest son of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has said he opposes a dynastic succession that would see a third generation of his family take power. Kim Jong-nam's remarks came after his younger half-brother, Kim Jong-un, was unveiled as the nation's heir apparent on Sunday. Kim Jong-nam, believed to be 39 and who is known to live in China and Macau, was once thought to be his father's likely successor but fell out of favour.

OďŹƒcer given life for boy's murder Greek policeman Epaminondas Korkoneas, 38, was sentenced on Monday to life imprisonment for murdering 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos on December 6th 2008, in the Athens neighbourhood of Exarchia, a rebellious district, popular with selfstyled anarchists, where there are frequent clashes with police. Korkoneas's patrol partner, Vassilios Saraliotis, 32, was given a 10-year jail sentence for complicity. In the riots that followed the boy’s death, cars were set alight and shops looted in a
number of cities. Hundreds of businesses in Athens were targeted and the second city of Thessaloniki also saw serious unrest. There were more riots on the first anniversary. The verdict from a panel of judges and jurors was 4-3 in favour of convicting Korkoneas of intentionally shooting Alexandros. Two judges and one juror had backed a lesser verdict of manslaughter with possible intent. During the nine-month trial, the court heard that Korkoneas had fired three shots, during an altercation
with youths on the streets of Athens. His lawyer said they were warning shots in response to a hail of missiles, and cited an autopsy report indicating the boy had been hit by a ricocheting bullet. However, witnesses and relatives testified that Korkoneas had deliberately taken aim and fired. The trial was moved from Athens to Amfissa - a small town 200km west of the capital - to deter attacks by anarchist groups that had vowed to kill the two defendants.
Air crew dances through safety demo In response to complaints of sexism after a female air crew danced through a safety demonstration on the Philippines budget airline Cebu Pacific, the company decided that its male air stewards would also do the same. It was part of the airline's novel approach to grab the passengers' attention for the oft-ignored safety demonstration and it appears to have worked the films made of the dancing demo have become a YouTube sensation. After a young female air crew performed the air safety demonstration as part of a dance routine involving a Lady Gaga tune early last week, the women's political party Gabriela denounced the routine as "a cheap
promotional gimmick" and branded the airline "a purveyor of sexism and machismo". A crew member in action.
Last Friday, a second version featuring a male crew dancing to the 1980 Men Without Hats hit Safety Dance was much appreciated, by female passengers at least. One mother-of-two said it managed to stop her from nodding off.

Now though, the Naked Cowboy has decided on a career change. He is going to be running for President of the United States. The 40-year-old conservative whose real name is Robert John Burck posted the decision on his website www.nakedcowboy.com last week but says that he will be donning normal clothing during his run for president.

The review recommends that the current cap on tuition fees be raised from £3000 to around £6000 with Oxford and Cambridge Universities being able to charge even higher rates to reflect their perceived importance with some universities being allowed to charge the higher rate as long as some of the fee goes back to the government. The average student will end up having to pay £30,000 back in loan fees over 20 years, and some will have accrued debts of as much as £60,000. The review also suggests that higher earning
graduates should pay a higher rate of interest on their loans, raising the threshold salaries for loan repayments from £15,000 to £20,000. Alex Kendal, student representative from Imperial College said that what was needed was for industry to fund many bursaries and support grants to cover educational costs. However, he also said that he was quite happy to pay his loan, which is in the “tens of thousands” as he recognised that that is what it has cost his university to educate him and he “thoroughly enjoyed” his time there. Around 80% of students will be faced with higher loans if the proposals go ahead.

It was first thought that Linda had died when one of her captors set off a bomb vest strapped to his chest. However, on Monday it was reported that her death may have been caused by a grenade thrown by US personel into the room where she was being held. A full investigation into the incident has already begun. Both the UK and US had tried to negotiate her release and it was felt that there had been improvements to the situation but intelligence sources had said that there reason to believe she was in grave danger and that they had no option but to mount the rescue attempt. Prayers were said on the Isle of Lewis, where Linda was from, at church services on Sunday and her parents said they were “absolutely devastated” by the loss of their daughter.

Agony Aunt dies Lawyer
decision
The death of barrister Mark Saunders, 32, at the end of five-hour stand-off with police at his £2.2m home in Markham Square, Chelsea, followed a "lack of clarity" from commanders of the armed police team. Best known for her Agony Aunt columns in The Sun, Sunday Mirror and Women’s Own magazine, Claire Raynor died on Monday at a hospital near her home in Harrow, West London, aged 79.
Claire Rayner, a former nurse and midwife, was named Medical Journalist of the Year in 1987 and for many years was President of the Patients Association. She also wrote a string of novels.
Her husband of 53 years, Des, said he had lost his soulmate and best friend. She had not recovered well after an intestinal operation carried out in May of this year.
She told her relatives she wanted her last words to be: "Tell David Cameron that if he screws up my beloved NHS I'll come back and bloody haunt him."
Goodbye all my clothes Singer Elton John’s mother has decided to auction her son’s memorabilia because she is moving to a smaller house in London. Elton’s mother Sheila had a host of items from his glittering career in the attic and after clearing out her home she decided to put them under the hammer. The treasure trove includes tour jackets, more than 100 gold and platinum discs and VIP passes used by her to get into the singer’s gigs. “Some are autographed
The jury also said more detailed consideration should have been given by police commanders at an early stage in the siege to using his wife Elizabeth or friend Michael Bradley to defuse the confrontation. However, they decided that Mr Saunders, an Oxford-educated legal high-flyer, was lawfully killed when he was shot in the head, heart and liver by police marksmen at 9.32pm on May 6th, 2008.
but, as his mum said, ‘Why would he sign it for me? I’m his mum’,” spokesman Andrew Elliston-Elhinn from Gorringes auction house said. The sale will take place next Tuesday, October 19th at Gorringes in Sussex, south England.
House prices drop The price of a typical house dropped from £168,124 in August to £162,092, according to Britain’s biggest mortgage lender Halifax last week. A spokesman for the bank said that more properties coming onto the market for sale had outstripped demand and sellers had to drop their prices to achieve a sale. This, together with job uncertainties and the difficulty of getting a mortgage, was causing another slump in the housing market in the UK. The decline will bring more home owners closer to falling into negative equity, where their mortgage is greater than the value of their home. It comes after the Bank of England warned that obtaining a mortgage is about to become even more difficult with the banks and building societies implementing even tougher rules amid fears that higher
The inquest heard that the officer on the ground in charge of the 59 marksmen involved in the seige did not know what command structure was operating below him and was kept in the dark about key decisions.
unemployment will result in more home owners defaulting on loans. An increase in the supply of property and a drop in demand fuelled by uncertainty about the economy pushed prices down 3.6 per cent, the biggest monthly fall since figures were first compiled in 1983. However, Martin Ellis, housing economist with Halifax, said it was “too early” to conclude that September’s fall represents the beginning of a sustained period of declining house prices. He added: “Earnings growth is expected to be very modest over the next year, tax rises are on the way and more people are putting their homes on the market. These will all be constraints on the market, dampening house prices.” Mr Ellis added that prospects for the housing market are uncertain.
Neither the confusion, nor the failure to allow access to Mrs Saunders contributed to Mr Saunders' death, the jury found. Wife Elizabeth said that she was satisfied with the verdict but Mr Saunders’ mother said she was still upset by the fact that the police had refused to allow Elizabeth or friend Michael Bradley to speak to her son.

Official figures show that only 692 hectares of woodland have been destroyed by fire so far this year, more than 90% below the average for the past 10 years. The drop has been attributed to the unusually heavy rains last winter and spring which instead of providing more dry fuel for fires in the summer months had in fact kept vegetation damper than usual. Another factor, according to the experts, is that people are now more aware of how to avoid starting forest fires accidentally. Fire fighters themselves also acted more rapidly and managed to confine more than 75% of the the 501 blazes they were called out to to less than a hectare of damage.
Famous and not-so-famous ‘Malagueños’ In an attempt to take its readers’ minds off their current economic woes, the Malaga Hoy newspaper ran an article the other day to remind them that Malaga means much more than Picasso and Antonio Banderas, the city’s most famous sons. Picasso’s family went to live in La Coruña when he was 10. After a few years they moved to Barcelona then Picasso went to Madrid to study Fine Arts. When he graduated he headed for Paris. Banderas had to go to Madrid, where the film industry was based, to further his career before heading to Hollywood in
the mid-1990s. But Malaga, where his family still lives, pulls him back and he visits frequently. But there are other Malagueños who are known internationally in their own spheres. One is Dr Juan Manuel Pascual, a world expert in neurology and an active member of the North American Academy of the Spanish Language and the Royal
Spanish Academy. Another is Miguel Angel Llopera, chairman of the company which controls bar codes. He was actually born in Cabra, in Cordoba province but all his four children were born in Malaga. Miguel Blanca is an internationally famous expert in allergies who after studying his speciality in
Granada and London returned to Malaga to set up the Carlos Haya Hospital’s allergy laboratory. He now directs a national network specialising in allergies from Malaga with the world’s largest research group in this area. The newspaper also reminded its readers of well known sports
personalities who were born in Malaga, like world champion basketball players Carlos Cabezas and Berni Rodriguez, or Carolina Navarro, who was the world paddle tennis champion for several years. And we must not forget Miguel Angel Jimenez, who was part of the European team that has just won the Ryder Cup.

Connery “no show” would spark legal action Marbella judge Ricardo Puyol, who has summoned Sean Connery and his wife to appear before his court on October 15th in connection with the socalled Goldfinger urban planning corruption case, has been told by the General Judiciary Council that a letter sent by the actor through British ambassador Giles Paxman does not threaten his independence as a judge. In the letter, dated September 20th, the actor claims that the public revelation of the alleged criminal proceedings has affected his public image
and that he reserves the right to sue the people responsible. The judge sent a copy to the Council in Madrid because he considered it “an attack on the independence of the country's judiciary”. About 20 people are involved in the Goldfinger case, which revolves around the sale of the Connerys' beachside villa in Marbella, and the later construction and sale of 72 luxury apartments on the site at an alleged profit of €53 million.

Minesweepers v. treasure hunters
Cordoba patios want place on world map Cordoba City Council plans to nominate its patios for World Heritage Site status next year and is currently in the process of setting up a foundation to that end. However, the process requires a considerable sum of money and the council has asked local businesses to chip in. So far, only Corte Ingles has answered the call although Mayor Andres Ocaña has said several other businesses have expressed interested. The mayor said he was convinced that the patios
are worth the effort because of their roots in Cordoba traditions and their architectural, anthropological and cultural value. He said that after the Mezquita, the patios are the city's most well known landmark, visited by thousands in the spring when the flowers are in full bloom. He did not mention the fears that the patio tradition is dying out – they are cared for by the older women, and younger women who work may not have the time to carry on their work.
The Odyssey Marine Exploration company spirited away millions of euros worth of treasure in silver and gold coins it found on the Spanish ship, Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes in 2007, and has still not returned the bounty to Spain, despite a US court order. To avoid it happening again Spanish Navy minesweepers have been searching the seas and have discovered 1,300 possible wrecks in the Gulf of Cadiz alone. Fifteen have been investigated so far and found to be worthless, nothing more than flotsam as one expert said, but about 48 could turn out to be treasure ships.The exact locations are being kept secret until teams of marine archaeologists can be sent down to investigate them.

Bishop wants 'mezquita' word eliminated The Bishop of Cordoba, Demetrio Fernandez, wants the word 'mezquita' removed from all the literature about Cordoba's famous landmark. In an article in the Malaga Hoy newspaper, the bishop said the building has been a Catholic Cathedral since June 1236 when Ferdinand III took the city from the Moors. He said calling it a mosque was “confusing”, pointing out that the
Moors started building it in 786 on top of the Gothic church of St Vincent Martyr. The cathedral occupies only a part of the Mezquita and many people have said it is an eyesore that clashes
with the graceful Moorish arches for which the building is famous. A Socialist Party spokesman in the Andalucian Parliament, Mario Jimenez, criticised the bishop's attitude at a press conference saying that
Cordoba “has such a capacity for peaceful coexistence that the Christian Cathedral is called a mosque”. The United Nations declared the Mezquita a World Heritage Site in 1984.
Councillor's father fined for insulting mayor The father of a Socialist councillor in Otura, Granada province, has been fined €1,200 for insulting the town's mayor, who belongs to the Partido Popular. The court heard how Antonio Medina attended council meetings as a member of the public between 2007 and 2009, disrupting them with shouts of “thief”, “manipulator”,
“delinquent”, “Fascist” and other insults directed at Mayor Ignacio FernándezSanz Amador. He was escorted out of the meetings several times by police and then banned from attending them. The

Most pilgrims take the better known northern route from France to Santiago de Compostela but a spokesman for the Cordoba Provincial Government said more and more Spaniards are taking the Moorish Road 3,000 this year alone.

Police stumble across stolen goats
One of the first recorded routes for pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela is the Camino Mozárabe (Moorish Road), which started out from Cordoba. From the 9th century onwards, it catered for Christians living under the Moors in Malaga, Granada, Jaen and Almeria who converged on Cordoba to take the road that led to Merida in Extremadura, where it joined the road known as the Via de la Plata (Silver Road).

He added that the idea was not to compete with the northern route, which he said was “massified”, but to offer both national and foreign pilgrims an alternative, less transited route through all the delights that Andalucia has to offer.
While making a routine patrol through the Garcia Grana district of the provincial capital, the National Police came across 18 goats being brought out of a building where they had been hidden in the basement, without food, water or natural light before being sold on the black market, the police said. They suspected the goats were stolen and they are now in a municipal animal refuge while the police try to find their real owner. Several men were taken into custody. MARTOS, JAEN PROVINCE

Voice Madrid
Muriel Pilkington
Martin Delfín Writes for the English language version of
Time to go
Money or ETA
W
I
hen the popularity polls put you half a percentage point behind Mariano Rajoy, it’s time to go. The latest poll shows that Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero is at the bottom of the list of a majority of Spaniards after leading the popularity polls, or at least coming second, for the past six and a half years. He now occupies the position that Rajoy has had for most of that time. The same poll shows that if the election were held now, some three and a half million Socialists won’t vote for Zapatero and the Partido Popular would win with a 13 point lead, giving the party an outright majority in Parliament.
E
verything indicates that Zapatero had better start clearing the electoral air – and soon. He says he’ll make his decision in his own good time and, if he is true to form, it will be the wrong decision taken too tardily.
H
is problems go back to Day One after he took office in April 2004. He announced the withdrawal of Spanish troops from Iraq, mainly because he had nothing else to announce at the time. The Socialist Party had not expected to win the March 2004 election, which was tipped in their favour by the current Interior Minister, Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, who skilfully manipulated the Madrid train bombings to bring out the anti-war faction.
W
hile the troop withdrawal was the honourable thing to do – Zapatero had made it one of his major election promises – it earned him the distrust of most Western leaders because he went back on his declared intention to bring the troops home at the end of June that year, if the United Nations was not running the show in Iraq by then. Obviously he was a man whose word could not be trusted and everything he’s done since has only strengthened that perception.
H
is second big mistake was to ignore the economy – he had inherited a very strong one from Jose Maria Aznar, so it could take care of itself while Zapatero forged himself a reputation as Spain’s most “progressive” PM. Unfortunately for him, Felipe Gonzalez had already given the Spaniards better health care, better pensions and a more modern education system so Zapatero was left with “progressive” reforms such as an abortion law reform which would have allowed girls of 16 and 17 to have abortions without their parents’ knowledge or consent.
B
ut his major mistake was to refuse to admit – in public - that Spain was heading for a really serious economic crisis, despite warnings from all national and international economic experts and organisations. He knew it was – in private – but it was a very bad time to use the word “crisis”, with the 2008 general election just months away. So in order not to lose votes, he denounced everyone who mentioned the “C” word, even going as far as calling them traitors. When he finally pronounced
the word f– tricked into doing so in a televised interview in June that year – he blithely announced that the economy was strong enough to withstand any crisis, even as the construction industry crashed down around his head.
W
hen he finally took steps in June this year, it was obvious to anyone with eyes or ears that he had been forced to do so by the European Union, which feared that Spain was going the same way as Greece. But before that King Juan Carlos had taken the unprecedented step of calling him THREE times to ask him – politely, of course – to get his finger out. Even Barak Obamo was worried enough to make a phone call along the same lines. Forced into action, the PM then proceeded to cut public sector salaries by an average of 5%, affecting some three million people, including street cleaners, health workers and the police who barely earn the minimum wage as it is. He also announced a pension freeze, which affected a similar number of people. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate continued to hover around the four million mark. By this time, the great Spanish public had arrived at the conclusion that their PM has zero economic nous.
S
ince his candidate, Health Minister Trinidad Jimenez, lost the Madrid primary to the relatively unknown Tomas Gomez, newspaper articles on the “post-Zapatero” era have become the vogue. One of his own 'barons' (traditional party heavyweights), Castilla-La Mancha premier Jose Maria Barreda, said last week that if the Party didn’t change course it was heading for electoral disaster. He quickly retracted, no doubt under pressure from members of Zapatero’s inner circle, but he was only expressing his own worst nightmare. The PP apparently has a good chance of winning the next year’s regional election in Castilla-La Mancha.
Z
apatero should announce now that he does not intend to run again in 2012 and that there will be primaries for his successor after next year’s regional and local election, which might save him a few votes. It means being a lame duck for the next 18 months but he’s already been one for the past six and a years, so it makes no difference.
n 1989, Spanish Prime Minister Felipe González reached an informal, controversial pact with Venezuelan President Carlos Andrés Pérez to allow a large group of ETA terrorists to settle in there. The terrorists were held up in Algeria after they were captured and thrown out of France two years earlier. They were waiting for a possible agreement between Gonzalez’s Socialist government and ETA that would have permitted them to return to Spain. But, of course, that didn’t happen and now one of those emigrant terrorists has become an albatross for the current Socialist government which is trying to protect Spain ’s multi-million euro investments in Venezuela from the spiteful wrath of the country’s fiery president, Hugo Chávez.
T
he man in question is 46-year-old José Arturo Cubillas Fontán, a native of San Sebastián, who is married to a Venezuelan, and now serves as a security chief in an Agriculture Ministry department that is in charge of expropriating farms and ranches under Chávez’s controversial land reform. In March, a Spanish High Court judge issued an arrest warrant for Cubillas after determining that the Basque national serves as ETA’s pointman in Venezuela. Judge Eloy Velasco said that Cubillas helped try to coordinate a series of political assassinations in Spain on behalf of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), South America ’s oldest guerrilla insurgency. Among the FARC’s targets were former President Álvaro Uribe and former Foreign Minister Noemí Sanín. The murder attempts never took place.
T
he international arrest warrant was processed through Interpol, but Chávez vehemently refused to turn over Cubillas, arguing that he was a Venezuelan citizen and the extradition treaty between his country and Spain doesn’t include a provision for arrests of his nationals. Then the leftist leader, known for his rash of expropriations, issued a caveat to Spanish businesses: they had “more to lose” if the Spanish courts continued to pursue the arrest and accuse his government of bedding down with terrorists. Foreign Minister Miguel Ángel Moratinos at first reportedly demanded explanations but later it was said that all he was asking for was “information” from Chávez’s government. This issue of the arrest warrant died down a bit over the summer but the Zapatero government really wanted it to go away.
T
hen last week, another High Court judge released a confession made by two Basque terrorists – Xabier Atristain and Juan Carlos Besance – to the Civil Guard following their capture in September. In great detail, they described how in 2008 they travelled to Venezuela to receive weapons and explosives training from the FARC and were met by Cubillas and another ETA fugitive. Breaking diplomatic protocol, not to mention
insulting his host nation, Venezuela ’s ambassador to Madrid Isaias Rodríguez said the two men were probably tortured by the Civil Guard to “make up that story.” But the confession is very clear, filled with details, including descriptions of the Caracas shopping centre where they met.
A
gain, the Spanish government, walking on egg shells, said it didn’t believe that Chávez had anything to do with helping ETA but it did ask him to dump Cubillas from his current governmental post, as a goodwill gesture, until this mess could be cleared up. Caracas hasn’t responded but on Monday Cubillas’ lawyer, Marino Alvarado, confirmed that his client asked the Venezuelan public prosecutor to investigate his actions and those who are accusing him in an effort to clear his name and reputation. That’s like getting the foxes to hold an inquiry into which one of the skulk broke into the chicken house and killed all the hens.
N
ot only is Cubillas well-linked through his own dealings with the Chávez government but also through his wife’s connections. Goizeder Odriozola, a pro-Chávez journalist and daughter of Basque immigrants, married Cubillas in 1990. She works at the Agriculture and Land Ministry as head of information and public relations and also serves as spokeswoman to Vice President Elías Jaua.
B
efore Chávez came to power in 1999, the Venezuelan DISIP intelligence police had all ETA suspects under strict surveillance. "They would have to go to the secret police regularly,” said one longtime member of the Basque community told El País. “They had to show up, and they would be asked about what they had been doing, and whenever a leading Spanish political figure visited Venezuela, they would be detained for the duration.” The “harassment” was too much for Cubillas and in 2003 he filed a complaint with the people’s Public Defender against law enforcement authorities. The surveillance stopped, much to the surprise of Spanish authorities.
S
o what is keeping Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero from taking on Chávez? Money. Spanish energy giant Repsol, working alongside stateowned Petróleos de Venezuela, has made a major find in the Gulf of Venezuela that could yield as much as 1.5-2.0 trillion cubic-feet of natural gas from underneath the sea off the Caribbean coast. Repsol has also begun tapping into a field in the Orinoco basin, which experts believe contains between one and 1.4 billion barrels of heavy crude. The Spanish share in the project could help meet Spain ’s energy needs for five years. With so much at stake, one terrorist suspect is not worth a hill of beans, as Bogart would say, fortunately.

Alec Abell My friend John and I thought your readers might like an update of the new season's filmed opera programme at CineSur, Miramar, Fuengirola. We recently went to see AIDA, which was stunningly filmed in Berganzer, Austria on a lake. Only 65 people turned up and not an English voice heard! Shame........ It would be a shame to lose
Fuengirola the programme for want of information in the public domain. So here are some future showings to watch out for. 21 Oct: Don Giovanni 16 Nov: Madam Butterfly 23 Nov: El Lago de los Censes (Ballet) 16 Dec:La Traviata All performances start at 8pm. We hope to see some of you there! Editor says: I know people
Henrik Eksteen We, the neighbours of Partido La Carreta, are desperate with the road conditions leading to our respective properties and hope that you have a little more potential of persuading the Ayuntamiento to take note of our dilemma. We have been told that a grant was made by the Junta to the Ayuntamiento for the repair of these roads and we fear that if we do not appeal for urgent attention, the money destined for this purpose might be utilised for something else.
At local supermarkets (not forgetting the pickpocketing at markets) there has been a huge spate of robberies and sadly these well attended stores have no signs of security or evidence of cameras at the prime sites of theft! Being the most popular supermarkets you would think they could afford some sort of security at trolley bays and car parks. So there is little help when you are upset and vulnerable. It’s not so difficult surely, after repeated complaints, to work out where the thefts are most commonly taking place on their premises. So, become anti social and don't respond to the tap on the shoulder when someone asks for help or change.......that is the way it

We further feel that regardless of the world economic conditions, all of us have paid our respective land taxes(IBI) and we should at least expect that the access to our properties are more in line with what can be expected from a country and society of the first world! I cannot help but wonder what the conditions are like in the street leading to the house of the Alcalde of Coín? Your kind attention and help will be most appreciated.

who also went to see Aida and they were very impressed. It is a shame that some people think that opera is only for the well-to-do and the price of tickets to the opera in the UK is usually prohibitively expensive. But the stories are great so what better way to see them than on the big screen?Cinesur are making the effort to bring it to us so let’s hope more people find their way to supporting it.
Editor says: I live on La Carreta myself and have had to have all the suspension in my car replaced because of the appalling road conditions so I’m not happy at all with the situation. When the “top” road was originally done (and we all paid to have it done) we were told by the Ayuntamiento that they would adopt the road and maintain it once we had paid all the money over. There was even a big opening ceremony at the time. Maybe we should all send our car repair bills to the town hall?!

is happening. Being suckers to help someone or to assist in a situation of distress, is fast becoming our downfall. Editor says: We have just had one of our regular readers pop into the office as she missed her copy of The News last week. The reason she missed it was because someone had managed to get her purse out of her handbag while she was browsing in CUDECA of all places. How low will these thieves stoop? This person was in a charity shop trying to help her local community whn this happened. Obviously the upshot of it was that not only had she lost her purse that luckily only had €15 in it, but the charity also lost out on their sale which means that there’s even less money to go toward the care of people suffering
from cancer. It may only have been a few pennies but everything helps. I hope the thief feels thoroughly ashamed but, somehow I doubt it. So ladies, keep your purse in a bag that will not only close at the top, but will have an inner zip to keep your valuables safe as well. We all know that money is tight right now so even a few euros going missing makes a diffence but, if you keep your bank cards, family photos etc in there too, that is when being robbed becomes a serious personal violation as well. And, men, please be aware that the back pocket of your trousers is not the ideal place to keep your wallet. You’ll think you’ll feel it being taken, but you won’t - keep everything as safe as possible and enjoy the autumn!
Buying a telescope? With Christmas rapidly approaching, I’ve had lots of requests from people asking for advice on buying a telescope. There are basically two types of telescope to choose from. A refractor telescope is the traditional type of telescope that uses a lens at one end to gather the light and an eyepiece at the other that you look through. A reflector telescope uses a mirror to collect the light which is then reflected back up the tube to another mirror that sends the image out through the side of the tube to the eyepiece. Because they use a mirror, reflector telescopes make the object appear upside down and back to front - when looking at objects in space this doesn’t matter but if you also want to look at distant objects on Earth then you need a refractor telescope. Don’t be tempted by adverts that boast of 400 times magnification etc. The important thing you need is not magnification but the size of the lens in a refractor or the mirror in a reflector. A 3 inch lens or a 6 inch mirror is a good size to use. The telescope usually comes with a range of eyepieces and it is the eyepiece that magnifies the image. The eyepieces are sized in millimetres, the smaller the number the higher the magnification. But using a very high magnification gives you a smaller field of view and less quality image. If you have seen space photographs in books or on television then you will be disappointed when you look through a domestic telescope. Most of the images you have seen will have been
taken with the Hubble Space Telescope using very long exposure photography and then colour enhanced by computers. Apart from the Moon and planets the most you will see of deep space objects will be a fuzzy blob. A lot of telescopes now have a computerised ‘go to’ device set into the mounting. These are great for finding faint objects in the sky but you do need to have a little astronomy knowledge to start off with as they have to be aligned with two or three stars at the beginning of the observing session. Once the alignment has been done then a hand set controller displays various objects that you can see that night. You choose which you want to look at and press ‘go to’ and the telescope automatically moves and locates the object. Prices vary immensely from make to make, I would advise looking on the internet and even trying sites like eBay. I bought one of my telescopes through eBay. But unless you are keen enough to set a telescope up each night and it won’t just be left in a cupboard for months on end then I would suggest buying a pair of binoculars instead. If you spend €100 on a telescope then you will be getting a toy telescope but if you spend €100 on a pair of binoculars then you will be getting a very good pair, and mounted on a tripod you will see just as well as with a telescope.

Ronda photo competition 2nd A photograph by Diego J. Richarte has won the second Plaza in Focus Award in the Flickr photographic competition launched by the Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda (Royal School of Cavalry in Ronda - RMR). The Plaza in Focus photography competition was launched in July by the RMR in Ronda to celebrate the 225th anniversary of its famous bullring. Diego, a student from Arcos de la Frontera, has been awarded a cash prize of €200, has managed to share
his particular way of seeing the plaza in a photograph entitled "Torear no es cosa de niños" (Bullfighting isn't child's play): originality and creativity add a little fun to the competition. The image will be used in promotional material by the bullring in Ronda and included in an exhibition when the competition comes to a close. The competition has been launched via Flickr and has been popular amongst visitors with almost 200 images uploaded in the first two
months. The RMR has been encouraging visitors to share their unique way of seeing and experiencing the monument during its 225th anniversary. The idea was to get their creative juices roused by the architecture, history, arts and culture of a monument that has been the inspiration for fabulous artists such as Orson Welles and Ernest Hemingway. The photography contest will run until December 15th, giving
awards to the best images taken by visitors to the bullring, manège and exhibition rooms and the images are uploaded to the Flickr platform. The next monthly winner will be announced this Saturday, October 16th.

Last week’s episode had Carlos and Rodrigo fighting for their lives. Will Carlos have wounded Rodrigo enough to win the fight, or will Rodrigo fight back? Read on to find out more! Rodrigo stumbled backwards from the strike of the sword hilt. He was stunned and momentarily blinded in the right eye by the unexpected foul blow. He had involuntarily raised his sword hand to the injured eye, thereby dropping his guard. Rodrigo watched with his good eye, as Carlos saw his advantage and drew back his rapier to deliver the killing lunge. There was nothing he could do; he was unbalanced, defenceless, everything moved as if in slow motion, he gritted his teeth anticipating the stabbing impact of the sword. ‘Hold!’ came referee’s cry.
the
This cry and the loud clicks as both hammers of the double barrelled pistol
were cocked were enough to freeze Carlos’ blade. He turned to face the referee, Count Alonso and looked into the large bores of the levelled pistol. The pistol and the Count’s eyes were unwavering and for a moment the young man had a vision of his own death. ‘I told you Sir! …no brawling …to Centre!’ commanded the Count as he slowly lowered the pistol and indicated for Carlos to step back towards the middle of the clearing amidst the palms. He gestured for the physician to attend Rodrigo but kept his eye on the young man who walked back to where his second stood. Carlos accepted a towel and looked back with a smug expression on his face to where the physician was
examining Rodrigo. Rodrigo’s face was still numb from the blow so that he felt no pain as the doctor patted and wiped the blood from the battered area around his eye in order to assess the injury. Nicholas hovered beside Rodrigo’s shoulder; worry and concern were etched into the face of the black attendant as he took the sword from Rodrigo’s hand. The doctor prodded and pushed to stop the bleeding and had successfully completed this as the Count walked towards them. ‘Cuts to the eyebrow and cheekbone, the area and the eye itself have sustained bruising and will swell …the cuts need stitching if …er …I mean when the duel is finished,’ reported the doctor.
‘Thank you doctor,’ said the Count as the doctor packed his accessories back into a bag. ‘Do you wish to continue Rodrigo …we could postpone … you are at a disadvantage.’
accepted his sword. Worry could be seen on the young man’s face and his eyes welled with tears of concern. ‘Don’t worry Nicholas, we’ve been in worse situations than this, have we not,’ Rodrigo said with a smile and a wink of his good eye, which in turn forced a smile to the black youth’s face. Nicholas wondered at this man who seemed to attain a calmness and instill confidence even in situations that seemed hopeless. His Captain had a plan and he knew that all he could do was watch as it was executed.
‘No, let us continue,’ said Rodrigo, though he knew the doctor and the Count were right. His eye was swelling fast and soon he would lose all vision from it. He had to end this thing fast or his superior skill with the sword would no longer protect him from Carlos’ furious attacks. ‘Very well Rodrigo,’ replied the Count who looked at Rodrigo for a moment before turning to walk away calling, ‘To Centre!’ as he did so.

Horse Watching It's not everyday you can get close up and personal with something as beautiful as a pure Cartujano stallion but at the Yeguada de la Cartuja near Jerez this is just one of the treats in store for horse lovers. Written by Jean Joss
A
nd you don't need to be a “horse nut” to enjoy a day out at this famous stud farm. Visitors of all ages and backgrounds find themselves enthralled by the spectacular Saturday show.
S
panish horses have always been seen as rather special – particularly the dancing white stallions with their flowing manes and tails. On the old estate of Fuente del Suero, in the valley of the Guadalete river a short distance from the autopista between Seville and Jerez, there are around 300 youngsters, mares and stallions, all carrying bloodlines which can be
traced back through five centuries. Nearby is the ancient Carthusian monastery where towards the end of the XV century the monks established the original stud farm. In 1810 when the monks were forced to flee Pedro Jose Zapata, a clergyman, bought 60 mares and 3 stallions and hid them from the invading Napoleonic troops. The present day Yeguada de la Cartuja – Hierro del Bocado is the result of his foresight. Today the horses are still identified by the famous brand in the shape of a Spanish bit, to show their quality and bloodlines. Extra special specimens also carry the bell-shaped brand which
was the original brand of the Carthusian monks.
S
aturday is exhibition day – reserve your place before turning up, this is easily done on line. At 11 am a guide will show you round and there are visits to the harness room, the carriages and, of course, the stables. The stallions wait in their boxes, heads over the doors, ears pricked and eyes bright under the tumbling forelocks. The mares roam free in their enclosure, many carrying a new generation of foals, totally unfazed by the crowds. Youngsters who usually graze out in the fields are brought into the barn to be admired and petted.
T
hen, at noon, it's time for the show. The main arena is huge with glass windows down each side. One end opens outside into a sand-covered enclosure and it is from here that you hear the drumming of many hooves and a herd of yearlings sweeps into the arena running free under the supervision of three “vaqueros”. It's a dramatic introduction to the hour long celebration of the Cartujano horse.

proud stallion canters unrestrained round the arena, pristine carriages perform intricate movements drawn by teams of horses working in harmony, while
the biggest cheer is reserved for the electrifying competition driving display where the four horses career around at breakneck speed and the three “crew” negotiate seemingly impossibly tight turns. Then it is time for the “girls”. The mares are shown in the traditional “cobra”, each attached to the other by a leather collar – twelve of them working in unison with a rider on a stallion at the head. If you have never seen it, then prepare to be amazed!
T
he most moving spectacle is saved until last. A herd of foals comes galloping into the arena, young enough to still have their furry coats -
then there is a fantastic drumming of hooves as the breeding mares come hurtling in and it is a bit like musical chairs as the foals play find the mum and the mares play find the baby!
A
fter the show you are offered a glass of sherry and can browse round the souvenir shop.

Boss in a basque shock horror that will rock your socks off! The search is on to make sure that Duncan, JK’s boss, puts his money where his mouth is at the inland entertainment spot's Halloween Night spectacular. The evening is, of course, fancy dress and people are scouring the charity shops and other outlets for something suitable to wear. A strong theme is to be the Rocky Horror Show. And Duncan has pledged to wear a basque for part of the
evening - if customers are up to the challenge of finding one big enough to fit him! Duncan is no seven stone weakling at 6'5” tall but the last information was that some intrepid customers were on the verge of tracking down the saucy item of clothing in a size that could just cover his frame. To find out, you need to get along to the party on Friday October 29th, starting at 9pm.

MOVIES TO WATCH OUT FOR
e Social Network BY DAVID FINCHER Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake Well, who would have thought it. The most buzz about a movie this year centres on a film about setting up a website. It doesn t sound like it would appeal to anyone but the geeks but it's topped the US Box Office for the second week running, the critics are slavering and there is plenty of talk about movie awards to come. The Social Network is a based-on-a-true-story account of the creation of Facebook, now used by more than 500 million people worldwide.
Eisenberg plays Mark Zuckerberg - the man who became the world's youngest billionaire after setting up the site.
ruthlessly sets up his own version, goes global and becomes mates with Napster co-founder Sean Parker (Timberlake).
He finds himself under fire - so not just a movie about creating a website but more about a man becoming mega-successful and in the process losing friends and gaining enemies along the way.
Director Fincher (Fight Club, Benjamin Button) is not on Facebook and admitted knowing almost nothing about the social networking phenomenon.
He abandons his fellow Harvard students Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who dreamed up the idea for a personal website and
But it hasn't stopped him producing a movie that has got everyone talking Zuckerberg's lawyers tried to stop the studio using the website name and calling the lead character
Zuckerberg, but hey, they pressed on regardless. And now the Facebook chief is reported to have taken all his friends to see the movie and to be pleased with the results. Mind you, that may be because the script is tin tack sharp and probably makes him out to be a lot wittier than in real life. That's down to the work of scriptwriter Aaron Sorkin, the genius behind The West Wing - guess what...he isn't on Facebook either.
Value for No 3D magic for Harry Potter Money MOVIE NEWS
It appears the 3D version of the eagerly awaited first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been axed. Part 1 was filmed in 2D and is slated for a November release and studio bosses at Warner had decided to jump on the bandwaggon kickstarted by the success of Avatar and had ordered a 3D retro-fit.

But after a series of studio screenings for executives it appears that the quality of the conversion has been disappointing and the plan has now been dropped. Studio sources have admitted that some of the special effects shots looked worse rather than better after the conversion, which caused blurry and
disorientating images. It costs around $100,000 dollars per minute of film to convert and there have been some mixed results this year. The news could be of interest to George Lucas who last week announced he is to convert the Star Wars movies.
James Cameron s Avatar is being released next month on DVD and Blu-Ray featuring three different versions - in time for the Christmas stocking. A 3 disc extended collector's edition will feature the original cinema release, a special edition re-release and a new collector's extended cut with 16 more minutes. The film has now been seen by more than 310 million people worldwide and is the highest grossing movie of all time, raking in $1.7billion.
I
recently suffered a loss of my faithful companion, my trusty laptop. I never realized how much I depended on it and how much of my life was on it, until it was gone. My whole life in a hard drive, smaller than an IPhone. It is very scary to think how much of our lives are dependent on technology these days. So, what have I learned from this? To be totally honest, not a thing! Only now, I have two hard drives that hold sections of my life and with my new laptop, I begin my third section – let’s hope this one lasts!
B
eing stuck without a laptop really got me thinking, it’s like when the internet goes down – you start growling and pacing the room. Well, being without a laptop or computer is so much worse, in this day and age it is almost impossible not to go on your computer once a day for a least half an hour. As you can imagine, writing without a computer is near impossible – you start writing something then the pen runs out, so you go to get another and you end up putting your coffee cup on it and leaving a nice brown circle. All this made me miss my typewriter immensely - how Leo Tolstoy wrote “War and Peace” with a dip pen is beyond me.
O
ne of the first movies to demonstrate the potential dangers of computers was “War Games”, where a very young Matthew Broderick almost subjects the world to ‘thermo nuclear war’. Some twelve years later, in 1995, another plot to destroy mankind…well at least ‘computerkind’ was thwarted by Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller in the
film “Hackers”, where they take on the evil computer genius behind the Secret Service. All good stuff, and jolly exciting to boot!
P
erhaps Stephen King’s “Maximum Overdrive”, which was based on his short story “Trucks”, from his first collection of short stories “Night Shift”, was a little overdone. The story centres around a group of people trying to survive when machines start to come alive and become homicidal. Kudos to Stephen King in his debut as a director, however the movie ended up being more of a comedy. One of the more recent movies that draws our attention to internet dependability is “Live Free or Die Hard” better known as “Die Hard 4”, (pic above) where our hero John McClane takes on an internet-based terrorist organization which is systematically shutting down the United States. It’s good to know that CB radios will always work, no matter in what situation you find yourself or the technological world!
W
e join these social networks, putting up personal information about ourselves and posting pictures, we kind of make it easy for people to steal our identity. The 1995 movie “The Net” at the time just seemed like a cool little action flick, but thinking about it – it’s disturbingly realistic. Please don’t get me wrong, I love the internet and strangely enough have developed a bit of a “You’ve Got Mail” relationship myself. The internet is great for work, socializing, finding information, music or relatives, I just think that maybe we should be a little careful and think before we post something online.

There is a limit to how much anyone can take in certain situations and your patience has been tried and tested lately. It is up to you to decide now how much energy you are still wishing to invest in a person or project. The main focus for you is all about creating balance within relationships and creating strong foundations with those close to you, so that you are able to maintain a network of care and support for yourself and others. Lately, you have been asked to lean on faith to start to trust in the universe and the greater plan that is occurring in your life. Once inner faith is restored there is not much that you can’t achieve right now - with a chart as strong as yours, the world is literally yours for the taking. Financial matters need focus and attention to lead you to a place where you do not have to worry about where your bread and butter is coming from. Put in the work and you will be rewarded. You are a colourful social butterfly this week, Gemini, flitting from place to place, gossiping and generally catching up with those you have not seen for a while. Have fun and indulge yourself - it is about time. You are very attractive and compelling for others to be around and therefore the chances of romance or flirtations are high. Temptations are there at every turn so be careful that you are not led up the garden path. Now is ripe to get on top of all that you have let slip in your daily life. Pay attention to the material issues, go out and get that hair cut, clear out that closet you have been meaning to do for the last year and go and catch up on news with that friend you have been meaning to touch base with. Selfnurturing is the key, put yourself and your needs first and get your life in order. Your social skills are “on the ball” and you can use this to your advantage. Keep your cool - even though there is someone ruffling your feathers, roaring loud or getting all stirred up is not going to help the situation. The best thing you can do with this snappy person is just manage how you react to them. Relationships are going through a testing time with intense emotions running high - this is happening so that much needed adjustments can be made and this will benefit you both in the long term. Meanwhile do something that comforts you. You will be reminded that something is worth fighting for, not that you needed much encouragement. It is time to play hard and get it done - no more Mr nice guy, you have tried the peaceful route, now it is time to get tough. The emotional unrest and unpredictability must stop and words need to be spoken. No more will we be seeing you hiding in the background or downplaying who you really are and what you are capable of - your confidence is set to soar once again.

There are conversations that fuel and stimulate your imagination, exciting you into taking action once again. Ideas abound and you will want to discuss and convey these concepts to others.

...you don’t have to be a chef!
As there is an absolute abundance of tomatoes coming out of the gardens right now, and the weather is still warm enough to enjoy it, here a recipe for Gazpacho – the Spanish cold tomato soup that is refreshing and delicious.
Gazpacho Ingredients:
(serves 6)
● 500gr beefsteak tomatoes, skinned, seeded and chopped finely ● 2 garlic cloves, chopped ● 3 tablespoons tomato purée ● 1 red pepper, halved ● 1 yellow or green pepper, halved ● 3 tablespoons olive oil ● 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar ● 600ml water ● ½ teaspoon sugar ● 1 cucumber, halved ● Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions ● Place the tomatoes in a liquidiser or food processor with the garlic, tomato purée, 1/2 the red and yellow peppers, olive oil, vinegar, half the water and sugar then add salt and pepper to taste. Skin and roughly chop one half of the cucumber and add to the processor. Blend at maximum speed for 30 seconds or until all the ingredients are smoothly

The company you may wish to keep this week is your own, you will probably enjoy having your own space to reflect and contemplate your next moves. You have been expending a lot of energy clearing out past relationships that have not been healthy. Perhaps you have always given too much and dependency issues have occurred. Now is the time to rest, recuperate and make time for you before embarking on a new venture.
Tengo Tienes Tiene Tenemos Tienen
I have You have He, she or it has We have They have
means
So far so good. Tengo un coche azul Tenemos un libro
means
I have a blue car We have a book
Put a no in front and it becomes negative No tengo tiempo
I don’t have time
And of course, for a question just change the way you say it, to sound like a question. ¿Tienes el periódico? ¿Tienen un perro?
Do you have the newspaper Do they have a dog.
However there are many other uses for this verb and one of my favourites (not that I’m bossy, of course) is that by simply putting the little word que followed by the appropriate verb after it , you change it to mean what one has to do. Tengo que comprar pan Tienes que estudiar Tiene que ir a Málaga
I have to buy bread You have to study He has to go to Málaga.
The negative No tenemos que vender la casa
We don’t have to sell the house
And of course to ask a question, the same as before. How you long to stay out of the line of fire – it seems that others around you seem to like arguing for argument’s sake and nothing riles you up more. The best thing is to do what you usually do and step out of the way, letting them fight it out. You will be reminded this week of those who have helped you out or remained true to you through thick and thin and also those who have drained your resources. This will be an eye opener for you and gives much to contemplate.

Immigration cap threatens science
Beauty Tip
Relax! Planned relaxation calms anxiety and helps your body and mind recover from everyday rush and stress. Here are some tips on how to achieve it.
A group of Nobel prize-winning scientists has warned that the UK's cap on immigration threatens the country's future as a centre of scientific excellence. In a letter to the Times, the eight academics said the visa curbs would deprive science and industry of talent. They said it was a "sad reflection" that scientists and engineers could not be afforded the same exception to the rules as Premier League footballers. The Home Office introduced a limit for work visas for non-EU citizens in June.
The academics said international collaborations underlie 40% of the UK's scientific output. They noted: "The UK produces nearly 10% of the world's scientific output with only 1% of its population; we punch above our weight because we can engage with excellence wherever it occurs.” They added: "The UK must not isolate itself from
the increasingly globalised world of research - British science depends on it." The CBI, the Royal Society and university vice-chancellors have already voiced concerns about the immigration cap. Sir Harry Kroto, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, said that over the years, one quarter of the Nobel Prizes that came to the UK were won by

immigrants from outside. Liberal Democrat Business Secretary Vince Cable has said the measure is doing "huge damage" to British firms. Downing Street said the limit would be implemented in a way that still allowed the brightest and best to come to Britain. Two of the scientists behind the letter are
Russian migrants, Professor Andre Geim and Professor Konstantin Novoselov, of the University of Manchester, who won the Nobel prize for physics this year. They invented graphene, the world's thinnest material which is 200 times stronger than steel. The other signatories are Sir Paul Nurse, Sir Tim Hunt, Sir Martin Evans, Sir Harry Kroto, Sir John Walker and Sir John Sulston.

- Let your mind go empty. Some people find it helpful to visualise a calm, beautiful place such as a garden or meadow. - Stay like this for about 20 minutes, then take some deep breaths and open your eyes, but stay sitting or lying for a few moments before you get up. It's important to make time to practise a thorough routine on a regular basis. Relaxation is one of the most effective self-help activities for mental health. It can be a useful addition to any other form of treatment as well as being an effective measure to prevent the development of stress and anxiety. Relaxation exercises can be divided into two broad categories: those for the body and those for the mind. Body-centred exercises also have an effect on the mind. However, a relaxed body may not prevent a constant flow of anxietyinducing thoughts so for best results try to combine the two techniques.

FASHION SPOT by Andrea MacLean
A re-vamp or something new seek out Sue A survey showed last week that women's wardrobes contain at least 12 items of clothing that do not fit and many have three different dress sizes in the cupboard so that can mean hundreds of pounds worth of clothes going to waste. So, how about revamping your wardrobe and either getting the size changed, or if you have a favourite frock you cannot bear to bin but know it is no longer fashionable, getting it restyled for a fresh update. Here on the Costa you can call on the skill of qualified designer, stylist and dress maker Sue Seabury (above) to turn that outfit into something bang up to date. Or if you have spotted a photograph of an outfit and would love something just like it, she can transform that picture into an outfit ready for you to wear for that special occasion. Sue last weekend invited existing and prospective clients (below) to the opening of her new studio near her home in the Benalmadena area where she can meet clients to discuss their needs, do her designing and pattern cutting and invite clients to try on their outfits in an elegant, airy private fitting room. On the walls are photographs that illustrate her career in the fashion world. She was one of five who worked on Sarah Ferguson's wedding dress, and a photo from Hello magazine reveals her working side by side on that project with Bruce Oldfield. She has also in her time worked with fashion icons like Edina Ronay and Jasper Conran.
degree at the London College of Fashion. She herself taught at the college before moving on to work with leading designers both designing and pattern cutting. Her first love is wedding gowns and she worked with Bruce Oldfield to produce a dream dress for actress and presenter Liza Butcher and she has just completed a gown for a statuesque 6 foot 2 inch bride who married in Manilva just two weeks ago. During her seven years here in Spain she has designed and made a succession of bridal outfits but she has also become very popular with ladies who have been disappointed by poorly cut and poorly fitting high street shop frocks and outfits, and who have sought out Sue so they can be confident that their outfit fits to perfection. Sue has sourced top quality materials in different weights and colours. So if you fancy a top designer frock but don´t want to break the bank, or want to give a bit of spark to an old favourite, give Sue a call. "It was always my dream to live in Spain so to combine that with what I love to do is fantastic. I get a kick out of producing lovely clothes for people. All I want is that they leave me feeling like they look a million dollars," she said. Contact her on 952 569 614 or 646 363 925 or visit www.brideandchic.com
FBI nab Lennon fingerprints John Lennon's ex wife Cynthia and son Julian were in Liverpool on Saturday at the unveiling of a sculpture commemorating peace, as a tribute to the star on what would have been his 70th birthday. It was just one of many events held in the murdered ex Beatle's home city as well as elsewhere in the world - a sculpture was unveiled in New York not far from where Lennon was shot dead on December 8th 1980. But nearly 30 years after his death John Lennon, investigated by the FBI in the early 1070s for anti-war activity, came under scrutiny yet again by Federal agents and Homeland Security.
A 1976 signed application for Lennon's US citizenship - which included a fingerprint card - was one of around 850 celebrity items in an online auction timed to coincide with the birthday. The fingerprint card was expected to fetch at least $100,000 and was being shown to the media in New York last week in a preview of more than 90 Beatles items when the FBI seized the card. Peter Siegel, from the shop selling the card, said :"This great icon has been deceased for 30 years. This is not a national threat."

"I knew at the age of 9 that I wanted to work in fashion and I used to make all the clothes for my dolls," Sue remembers. She was lucky enough to go to a school with a creative and demanding needlework course which covered far more than just making the traditional hymn book cover and cookery class apron, and at the age of 16, she became the youngest student to take her

IT’S THE REAL 3D HIGH STREET TELLY DEAL
Leading UK retailer Curry’s reckons that lower prices for 3D television and Blu-ray players will drive sales of the technology. The High St retailer is now offering a 3D TV package, including compatible glasses, and Blu-ray
player for less than £1,000. The deal includes a 50in Samsung telly, three pairs of special glasses and a Samsung 3D Blu-ray player and delivers a whopping £600 saving on the cost of buying them separately. Curry’s reckons that 1 in 5 TVs sold in the next twelve
months will be 3D compatible. The slow uptake so far has, industry experts believe, been down not just to cost but to a lack of compelling 3D telly programmes. But Sky’s dedicated channel has now gone live and a number of movies have been released on Blu-ray.

Google tests cars that drive themselves
BlackBerry escapes blackout in UAE Smartphone maker RIM wins reprieve days before introduction of ban on email, messaging and web browsing
Engineers at Google have tested a self-driving car on the streets of California, the company has announced. The cars use video cameras mounted on the roof, radar sensors and a laser range finder to "see" other traffic, software engineer Sebastian Thrun said. They remain manned at all times by a trained driver ready to take control as well as by a software expert.
Google hopes the cars can eventually help reduce road traffic and cut the number of accidents. In a posting on the company's official blog, Mr Thrun said the selfdriven cars had so far covered 140,000 miles on the road. They have crossed San

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (RIM) today won a reprieve on the threat of a blackout on its 500,000 smartphone users in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), just days before security agencies were due to enforce a ban on email, messaging and web browsing on the devices. After months of standoff between the Gulf and Canada, the UAE telecommunications regulator said on Friday that RIM had brought its devices into line with strict local jurisdictions on security and encryption. Although the details of the compromise are unknown, RIM is thought to have granted some access to communications passed between devices to the UAE government, though there is no confirmation of this from either side. Authorities in India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Lebanon have been pushing for greater access to data transmitted between BlackBerry smartphones for months, citing security fears at the level of encryption employed on the devices. RIM has publicly maintained a defiant position, insisting that there would be no changes in the security measures given to its Enterprise customers, who are usually private companies and public bodies requiring a greater level of encryption on communication than individual customers.

Korean F1 GP given go- ahead
The Korean Grand Prix will go ahead on October 24th as scheduled after Formula 1 officials gave their approval on Tuesday following a track inspection. The FIA's technical delegate Charlie Whiting has completed a two-day inspection, with particular attention paid to the final layer of asphalt. New aerial photographs show a completed main grandstand, while the pit and paddock areas are apparently finished.

on his way to his third win of the season and a repeat of his win at the venue last year. Over the radio on his slow down lap Vettel was ecstatic: “Thank you. It’s fantastic. I know you didn’t get a lot of sleep last night and you might not tonight but enjoy this. This is our circuit and I am so proud to be a part of this team.”

Webber was content with his second place as he was ahead of his closest rival and actually extends his title lead. He was always very close to his victorious team mate in the race and in fact throughout the weekend.
up Webber leaves Japan with a fourteen point lead over his closest rivals - he arrived eleven points ahead. The Australian said afterwards: “Very good day for me. It was close with Seb in qualifying. We know how crucial that is, so after that it was probably going to be difficult for me to win the race unless I got the start.” He added: “Congratulations to Seb.

Winning start for Axarquia Rugby Club
Lorenzo seals championship as Rossi wins Malaysian MotoGP
Pre-season friendly matches kick off.
Valentino Rossi ended his longest losing streak in the premier-class in style with an 11th-to-1st charge in Sunday's Malaysian MotoGP, handing him his 46th victory for Yamaha.
A fantastic festival of rugby for all age groups from the U14´s Cadets, Under 17´s Colts and the senior team took place at the Fernando Hierro stadium in VelezMalaga last weekend. Throughout the day the junior teams from Motril, Alora and Axarquia enjoyed intensive training from the team coaches from all 3 teams, and it ended in a great game of running rugby from the game of mixed teams. The quality of back play, in terrible weather conditions, was fantastic, with numerous memorable tries from both sides. The season ahead for the Juniors looks promising and exciting. Meanwhile, the highlight of the day was the friendly pre-season senior match between the Gibraltar Dragons and Axarquia Rugby Club. Gibraltar, from the Andalucian 1st division, proved formidable opponents to the 2nd Division Axarquia team, and it was a hard fought match in difficult weather conditions. Whilst it was a low scoring match, there were opportunities for both sides to impose themselves but impressive defensive displays from both sides restricted chances and Axarquia Rugby finally came out on top 6-5 in the closing minutes, much to the enjoyment of an impressive home crowd who had braved the elements. Michael Reeve, the new coach of Axarquia was ecstatic, “our new coaching and training techniques, together with our new fitness regime devised by Paul Wilcock, our new fitness coach, have started to bear fruit – this is a fantastic start to the season, and our aim is to be challenging for promotion to the 1st Division. To beat Gibraltar is a brilliant achievement and a

Rossi's Fiat Yamaha teammate Jorge Lorenzo secured a safe third place which was more than enough to win him the world championship. Lorenzo led from pole at Sepang until being passed by Repsol Honda's Andrea Dovizioso on lap 9 of 20. Rossi, who had qualified sixth, had a terrible start and was only eleventh after the first few corners - but had sliced through the field to third, less than one second from Lorenzo, by the time Dovizioso took the lead. The Italian superstar, without a win since round one at Qatar, then took second from Lorenzo on the brakes into turn nine, a move he repeated on Dovizioso on the following lap. Dovizioso was able to hang on to Rossi, and briefly
first premier-class title. Dani Pedrosa, the only rider that could still beat Lorenzo to the championship, was not present this weekend after fracturing his collarbone at Motegi. Pedrosa hopes to return to racing action next weekend in Australia. Another 2010 race winner failing to score points on Sunday was Casey Stoner. The Ducati rider, winner of the last two races, fell from third place at the hairpin at the end of the first lap, to end his recent run of good form.

Ben Spies took fourth place for Monster Yamaha Tech 3, while fellow rookie Alvaro Bautista (Suzuki) won a thrilling four-way fight for fifth against Nicky Hayden (Ducati), Hiroshi Aoyama (Interwetten Honda) and Marco Simoncelli (Gresini Honda). Bautista was the only GSV-R rider to finish with injured team-mate Loris Capirossi stopping out on track with technical problems. Colin Edwards and Aleix Espargaro joined Capirossi and Stoner in failing to reach the flag.
Armitstead pipped to cycling gold Lizzie Armitstead took Commonwealth Games silver for England in the women's road race, which was won by Australia's Rochelle Gilmore in a sprint finish. Gilmore's team-mate Chloe Hosking won the bronze medal after an enthralling 12-kilometre race in Delhi. But Wales' Olympic champion Nicole Cooke had to settle for fifth after being squeezed out in the final yards. "I struggled with the heat. It was like riding in a hair dryer, but it was the same for everyone," said Armitstead. The 21-yearold , from Otley
in Yorkshire, admitted to being disappointed at not taking the gold but vowed to return stronger for the Olympics in 2012. "I just felt like I let the girls down a little bit," said Armitstead, referring to her
team-mates Emma Pooley and Sharon Laws. "It was our first try at a lead out and they had to do a little bit too much too soon and I waited a little bit. I hesitated, because I wanted the job to get done right until the line.”

the
Glory for Kaymer as Westwood struggles to keep up at the Dunhill Championships held at St Andrews last weekend But Westwood still has his eyes on that world no1 spot, held by Tiger Woods for the past five years. As the dust settled after last week’s magnificent win at Celtic Manor, all eyes have been focused on St Andrews this weekend, when German Martin Kaymer made it an incredible three wins in a row, with a three-stroke victory in the Dunhill Links Championship on Sunday afternoon. Kaymer winner of the US PGA title in August and the KLM Open in Holland last month, shot a superb closing 66, leaving England's Danny Willett still chasing his first European Tour title. Ryder Cup hero Kaymer showed no evidence of a Celtic Manor hangover to win his fourth event of the year and his third in three attempts on the European Tour. Unlike Lee Westwood who perhaps should have had a hair of the dog instead of a soft drink to help recover after his Ryder Cup celebrations! Needing a top two finish to replace Tiger Woods as world number one, he fell back to joint 11th with a 73. Playing in cold and
windy conditions, Westwood’s finish was something of a disappointment for the man who nursed a leg injury and a hangover after the Ryder Cup. It was reported that he was seen sitting quietly in The Jigger, a bar close to the Road Hole at St Andrews last weekend, drinking a slimline tonic. Nearby, the likes of Hugh Grant, Chris Evans, Shane Warne and Michael Vaughan were enjoying the hospitality of a private party, but for Westwood, one of the heroes of Europe's unforgettable Ryder Cup triumph, it was back to the soft drinks. The previous weekend he had been so hideously hung over he hid behind drawn curtains at his home in Worksop with a cold flannel on his forehead trying to recover from a heavy night of drinking. “There's nothing wrong with the odd celebration but I didn't enjoy the feeling the next morning,” Westwood admitted. The world’s number two player,
announced recently that after struggling with the recurrence of his calf injury, he will not play again until
next month and guarantees he will end the five-year reign of Woods in three weeks' time, unless the
American changes his plans and enters a tournament. So watch out Tiger, Westwood will soon
be back on par! Report By: Claire Voet

New bid as court case begins Singapore billionaire Peter Lim is offering £320m in cash for Liverpool football club and its liabilities. The offer trumps the £300m offered by New England Sports Ventures - which was accepted last week by Liverpool's chairman Martin Broughton. BBC business editor Robert Peston says Mr Lim is also offering to provide £40m in cash to buy players. The offer coincided with the start of the High Court case involving the board of directors and the current American owners.
Training at Benavista BC gathers momentum Nadal wins Japan Open Two more successful training sessions were held in September, with two different groups. The first was G & C, an enthusiastic sports oriented group, who needed help in basic skills and who responded well to the instruction. The second group consisted of more experienced bowlers from Benavista Club itself and again some basic skills were emphasised in a friendly non-critical environment. John Carr, the Malaga Instructors Group coordinator, had spent some time liaising with Tony Farmer and other club officials in planning the sessions. Once again, John was able to call on the services of fellow instructor Barry Pemberton, and Malaga Provincial Squad Captain Malcolm Greenwood, to assist in the sessions. It is hoped that further sessions will improve Benavista Club’s chances of regaining the upcoming Winter League
