ICKHAM’S
WORLD They had a point
By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
I was up in Almeria at the weekend for a break from the general hubub that is everyday life. We were lucky enough to hit upon a resturant that has been owned by the same Spanish chap for 32 years and has been in the hostelry business for 42. While we were chatting about things in general he started talking about politicians and the general state of the world and he had a very good point on one subject. Why are the politicians in charge of tourism not from that trade? The Minister for tourism comes under the same banner as Industry and commerce and the chap in charge is an economist who, as far as I can see by his own cV has never been an hotelier or anything like. Yes, Spain has a car industry and there are huge factories “up north” but here in the South we have (normally) fabulous weather, restaurants and hotels so, why haven’t we got a politician dedicated to promoting that side of things instead of being lumped in with two other departments? It’s not just Spain that’s having a hard economic time but the one thing they are great at here they seem to be letting slide while burying their heads in their hand and moaning about “la crisis”. come on politicians, get off your bums, stop moaning and do something for the people who own the restaurants etc and can turn the situation round. Try starting off with Tax and IVA breaks, make the rates and rents affordable and give them grants to help them thrive!

Zapatero either 'very brave or very stupid' The possibility of Spain having to ask for a similar bail-out to the one the EU gave Ireland last week has been the subject of several articles in the foreign press. The Financial Times said that Prime Minister José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero was either being “very brave or very stupid" when he said last Friday that international speculators were making a big mistake if they thought Spain could not meet its debt payments. Meanwhile, The Economist said the future of the euro was in Sr Zapatero's hands. It said the euro’s future would be secure only when
fears of contagion of Spain and Portugal by Greece and Ireland were banished and that depended on what happened in Spain. It said that if the panic were confined to Greece, Ireland and Portugal, the euro zone would be able to cope. But it warned that the EU's bailout fund was not big enough to handle Spain, which is the euro’s fourthbiggest economy, with a GDP bigger than Greece,
Basque Left pledge 'not enough' Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said on Saturday that an attempt by the Basque radical left, or abertzale, which includes the banned Batasuna Party, to legalize its movement and participate in next year's municipal elections did not go far enough. Earlier that day the abertzale had announced that it intended to organize a new party that would reject violence for political gain in line with the requirement of the 2003 Law of Political Parties. The Batasuna Party was banned under that law because it would not condemn ETA's violence. In a document presented at a news conference in Pamplona, the abertzale
outlined its proposal, using the word “rejection” fr the first time but falling short of explicitly condemning ETA. However, they pledged to "exclusively use political and democratic means" to achieve their eventual goals for a separate Basque homeland. The statement received a mixed reaction. Popular Party leader Mariano Rajoy said that "no franchise of ETA will be allowed to participate in the elections until terrorism is defeated," while Joseba Egibar, the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV ) president in Guipúzcoa, said that it was obvious that the new party "won't have any links to violence."

strike by the unions. It advised him to take several steps fast, producing a medium-term fiscal plan which would involve coming clean about debts in the banking system and the regions and speeding up the raising of the pension age from 65 to 67. He must also do more to help Spanish firms compete so that the economy could grow. But the Economist fears
reforms to pensions and collective bargaining will be postponed to avoid a Socialist defeat in next year's local and regional elections which would automatically lead to a Socialist defeat in the 2012 general election. Zapatero promised a meeting of 37 of the country's top businessmen last Saturday that he would implement needed reforms as quickly as possible.

Local media go to town with Wikileaks The US officials often describe the key players in Spanish political life in unflattering terms, with the exception of King Juan Carlos, who gets favourable reviews. One cable even gives advice about how to win the King's admiration. Phrases such as "outdated" and "romantic leftist" are used to describe Zapatero, while in one cable sent to then-US Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Ambassador Aguirre says that Zapatero plays up to his "leftist and pacifist electorate base" and uses his foreign policy objectives to "win points"
at home. His relations with several Latin American leaders like Hugo Chavez of Venezuela are also criticised. US Embassy officials also warned Washington of a possible withdrawal of Spanish troops from Iraq, an announcement Zapatero in fact made the day after he took office, souring relations with Washington for the rest of President George W. Bush's terms in government. But the cables that are causing the most outrage in Spain deal with US diplomatic efforts to sway High Court investigations of US officials for crimes

Ireland and Portugal combined. The Economist said that although Zapatero had ordered spending cuts and tax rises to trim the budget deficit from 11% of GDP in 2009 to 6% next year, he had shown no real understanding of the need for reform. The magazine said he had put off other much needed reforms because of a ten-point fall in support for the ruling Socialist Party and a general
related to the Iraq war, especially the death of photographer José Couso, who was killed by friendly fire in Baghdad in April 2003. The US Embassy in Madrid on Monday said it "regretted" and "condemned" the leak of the secret US government cables. In a statement posted on the Embassy's website, press counselor Thomas Genton said that the US government was concerned that releasing the documents "poses real risks to real people, and often to particular people who have dedicated their lives to protecting others."

Several upsets in Catalan regional election As all the polls had predicted, the Convergencia y Union (CiU) party, led by Artur Mas (pictured below), won the Catalan regional election on Sunday, but no-one had forecast the resounding defeat the voters would inflict on two of the parties that made up the so-called tripartite government. The Socialist Party of Catalonia won the lowest number of seats ever – 27, down from 37 in 2006. The Republican Left party, ERC, fared even worse, losing 11 of its 21 seats. With 62 seats, Artur Mas can govern alone. The Partido Popular won 18 seats, the highest number ever and four more than last year, making it the third force in Catalan politics. To be able to form another coalition government, the Socialist Party would have to invite

all the other parties to join it to prevent CiU from taking power. That would be impossible because the nationalist parties would never ally themselves with the PP. Artur Mas has said CiU intends to govern alone, and will seek support from either the PP or the Socialists, depending on the measures he wants to get through Parliament. Outgoing Socialist premier José Montilla has already said he intends to
leave politics as soon as possible, leaving the party to mull over the mistakes that have led to such a resounding defeat. PP Catalan leader Alicia Sanchez Camacho said the Catalan election is the start of a huge political change throughout the country. Socialist Party spokesmen in Madrid said the election cannot be seen as a litmus test for the party's prospects in either next year's municipal and local elections or the general election in 2012.

Catalonia prepares for electric car
Bishops attack use of condoms
A businessman in Barcelona spent three million pesetas in 1898 to open a workshop where he planned to build electric cars.
After Pope Benedict XVI apparently justified the use of condoms “in some cases” in the book “Luz de Amor” (Light of Love) by Peter Seewald, the Vatican has denied in a statement that his words represented a reform or change in the Church's teachings. And last week the Spanish bishops came down heavily on the side of the Catholic Church's traditional teachings. The Church's official spokesman, Bishop Juan
Antonio Martinez Camino, closed a plenary session of the Episcopate last Friday with the words: “The use of a condom always takes place in a context of immorality.”
The combustion engine came along, which was faster, and put an end to that enterprise. But it looks as if the electric car is about to make a comeback in the area. Catalonia's regional government, the Generalitat, wants to make the region the centre of electric car production.
In the book, the Pope made his statement when talking about Catholic health centres in African countries where Aids is rife.
Two drunks asleep in car cause mayhem Traffic controllers could not understand why there was such a long traffic jam on the A-6 some 20 kilometres from Madrid on Monday morning, at a time when the jams occurred closer to the capital. Imran Firasat
'Persecuted' man is a killer National Police in Madrid have arrested a Pakistani national who is wanted by the authorities in Indonesia where he had been charged in June this year with cutting up a man he had kidnapped and dumping his body parts in rubbish bags and suitcases. Imran Firasat had lived for several years with his wife and children in Cantabria where he opened several restaurants with several Spanish partners. He had claimed repeatedly that he was the victim of religious persecution in Pakistan.
Firasat went to Indonesia in 2007 taking a large amount of his partners' money and leaving a pile of debts. After committing the crime there, he evaded the authorities and returned to Spain in September this year. After working for a week in a restaurant in Cordoba, he attacked the owner and stole €6,000. He was tracked to Madrid by agents from Cordoba's organised crime unit where he was arrested and jailed while the authorities study a request from Indonesia for his deportation.
On checking their cameras they saw an Audi-3 parked straddling two lanes with two men, who looked to be either asleep or dead, inside. When two patrol cars from the Local Police and the Guardia Civil arrived on the scene, they awoke the two men, breathalysed them and found they were four times over the limit. The full “cost” of their night out is being decided in the courts.
Only one electric car was sold in Spain last year, despite the central government's pledge to build 100,000 of them by the year 2014 to reduce the production of CO2. Another 16 were sold this year – one to Queen Sofia who had decided to set a good example. Last week, the Generalitat brought representatives of the big car companies together in an attempt to persuade them to set up their electric car production in Catalonia. The Generalitat's Industry Secretary Antoni Soy said the necessary infrastructure for manufacturing traditional cars was already largely in place and could be converted quite quickly to the production of the electric version. But for speed-loving and cashstrapped Spaniards the electric car has two big drawbacks: its top speed is less than 140 kph and it costs between €30,000 and €40,000.
Galician texts now published An anthology covering 800 years of Galician literature, “Breogan's Lighthouse”, was presented in Santiago de Compostela last week. Published by the Francis Boutle company in London, it is already on sale in the UK and will be available in Spain early next year.
It is a comprehensive collection of nearly 300 texts in Galician, the language of the province in north-west Spain, accompanied by new translations into English. The texts start with the flourishing literature of the Medieval period, go though the period of
marginalisation between the 16th and 18th centuries – the so-called Dark Centuries – to the recovery of Galician literature in the 19th century. The anthology also includes writings of exile after the Spanish Civil War, when the Franco dictatorship banned the Galician

Boy's body found in suitcase
The Royal Spanish Academy's attempt to simplify spelling – which includes lopping “ch” and “ll” off the alphabet – should have been good news to the 450 million Spanishspeakers around the world, not to mention people struggling to learn the language. But it has had a mixed reception in the country's former colonies. President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela turned it into a joke – telling his cabinet that henceforth he would be known simply as “Ávez.” (In fact, his name will stay the same, though his place in the alphabetic order will change, because “ch” used to be the letter after “c.”) But the Mexican daily El Universal took it more seriously, and declared the new rules to be an affront to the national identity. In an editorial, it declared: “Spelling is not just an imposition; it serves to maintain a minimum of coherence and sense to what is written and said. Can this be dictated from a conference room abroad?

off.” Ilan Stavans, a Mexican professor of Latin American and Latino culture at Amherst College in the US, was cynical about it: “All the dictionaries will have to be remade, which is good for selling the Royal Academy’s dictionary, which they keep producing as though it’s the Bible.” Professor Stavans compared it to the

She had told neighbours he was her nephew and when they commented on the 9-year-old's absence two years ago she told them he had gone to Colombia to join his father. She told police she had arrived home from work one day and found him dead. Panic-stricken, she put the body in the suitcase and buried it outside the town.

China frustrated with North Korea Leaked classified US diplomatic cables show that Chinese officials are frustrated with Communist ally North Korea. One cable published on Monday, following the latest document dump by WikiLeaks, reveals that China's Vice Foreign Minister, He Yafei, told the US charge d'affaires in Beijing that North Korea was behaving like a "spoiled child" to get Washington's attention in April 2009 by carrying out missile tests. A second dispatch from September 2009 said Mr He had downplayed Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's trip to Pyongyang, telling the US Deputy Secretary of
State, James Steinberg: "We may not like them... but they are a neighbour." Another cable relays a discussion over an official lunch in February 2010 between former South Korean Vice Foreign Minister Chun Yung-woo and the US ambassador to Seoul, Kathleen Stephens, with the minister revealing that a new, younger generation of Chinese leaders no longer regarded North Korea as a useful or reliable ally, and would not risk renewed armed conflict on the peninsula.
Mr Chun also said North Korea had already collapsed economically and predicted it would collapse politically two to three years after the death of Kim Jong-il. Ambassador Stephens added that Chun had said that in that case, China would clearly not welcome any US military presence north of the Demilitarised Zone but would be comfortable with a reunified Korea controlled by Seoul and anchored to the United States in a benign alliance - as long as
Haiti election valid despite "irregularities" International observers said on Tuesday that Haiti's general election on Sunday was valid despite "serious irregularities". Polling day on Sunday was marred by disorganisation and some violence, as well as allegations of fraud in favour of the governing party candidate, Jude Celestin, but the joint mission from the Organisation of American States and the Caribbean regional grouping, Caricom, said there was not enough reason to call it off. The head of the observers, Colin Granderson, said the decision by some opposition candidates to denounce it as
fraudulent was "hasty and regrettable". The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has appealed for calm, saying that any deterioration in the security situation would hamper efforts to contain the cholera epidemic. Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council has denied allegations that it stuffed ballot boxes to ensure victory for Mr Celestin, the preferred successor of outgoing President Rene Preval. The
election is seen as crucial to the future of Haiti, which in addition to battling a cholera epidemic is also trying to rebuild after January's devastating earthquake. Results are due to come in from December 5th onwards, with the final tally to be announced on December 20th. If no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, as expected, the two front runners will proceed to a January 16th run-off.
Sale of second-hand underwear banned Market traders in Ghana will be banned from offering second-hand underwear from next February, the Ghana Standards Board has announced. A spokesman said used knickers and other second-hand goods
like handkerchiefs and mattresses were unhygienic and could pose a health hazard. The importation of secondhand clothing, called "obroni wewu", which literally means "white man's deads", was banned

Facebook used to expose draft dodgers The Israeli army is using the social networking site Facebook to check up on women who lie about their religious background to avoid military service. More than 1,000 women have been tracked down after falsely claiming they were Orthodox Jews in order to be exempted from the draft. A senior officer said they had found examples of young women who had declared themselves exempt posting photos of themselves on Facebook in immodest clothing, or eating in non-kosher restaurants. Others were caught by responding to party invitations on Friday nights - the Jewish Sabbath. Military service is compulsory for most Israelis over the age of 18 three years for men and two years for women. It is estimated that more than 35% of Jewish women in Israel do not join the army, because they say they are religious - but the army suspects that thousands of them are secular and eligible to serve.
November, US scientist Siegfried Hecker visited Yongbyon and said he was "stunned" by the sophistication of the equipment he was shown. He said he was told the centrifuges were working, producing low enriched uranium which would be used as fuel in an experimental light water nuclear reactor they were building to produce electricity. The US scientist reported that the plant did appear to be intended for civilian nuclear purposes; however, he added that it

could be modified to produce highly enriched uranium. The revelations come as tensions remain high, after the North shelled a South Korean island a week ago. Pyongyang says the shelling, which killed four people, was in response to Seoul's military drill near Yeonpyeong island. It has described a four-day USSouth Korean military exercise now under way in the Yellow Sea, near the disputed border between the two Koreas, as a provocation.

Napoleon's defeated soldiers buried The remains of 18 soldiers who took part in Napoleon Bonaparte's failed invasion of Russia in 1812 have been buried in a cemetery near where they were found by workmen in 2009 outside the capital, Vilnius. Tens of thousands of the 500,000-strong French army died of starvation, disease and cold around Vilnius. A mass burial of 3,500 members of Napoleon's Grand Army took place in 2003 but the remains of the 18 buried on Monday were found in a different area. MEXICO
Broke stewardesses launch racy calendar A thousand copies of a racy calendar featuring ten bikini-clad female flight attendants from ailing airline Mexicana sold out before it even hit the bookstores. The women said they wanted to help themselves after having their salaries slashed drastically in August, when the airline filed for bankruptcy and suspended operations. The stewardesses each paid some money out of their own pockets towards the $8,000 production costs. The calendar costs $12 and a second edition of 3,000 is being produced. UNITED STATES
Mosque hit by arson Police said on Monday that a fire which gutted one room of the Salman Alfarisi Islamic Centre in Corvallis in the western US state of Oregon was started intentionally. Somali-born teenager Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, who was arrested on Friday for plotting to detonate a bomb at a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in nearby Portland, had attended the centre. Police said they did not know who started the blaze, but suggested the centre was targeted because Mr Mohamud had occasionally worshipped there.

Picasso 'treasure trove' revealed
THIS WEEK’S CRAZY OFFERS! Pierre Le Guennec
A retired electrician in southern France who worked for Pablo Picasso claimed on Monday that he has 271 previously unknown works by the artist, including lithographs, cubist paintings, notebooks and a watercolour. Pierre Le Guennec, 71, said Picasso gave him the works - said to be worth about €60 million - as gifts, but the artist’s estate administrators have filed a case for alleged illegal receipt of the works of art. The French newspaper Liberation reported that the lost Picassos included a watercolour from his Blue Period. Experts have said the nine cubist works in Mr Le Guennec's possession are worth €40 million alone. Mr Le Guennec worked for Picasso during the three
years before he died in 1973, installing burglar alarm systems at the artist’s houses in France, including his villa in Cannes. Mr Le Guennec approached the artist's estate in September, hoping to get the canvases authenticated by Picasso's son, Claude, who has dismissed the electrician's explanation about how he came into possession of the art works. He said his father would never have given so many works to a single person. Once the works were authenticated, the family contacted
France's specialist art police who are reported to have raided Mr Le Guennec's home on the Cote d'Azur, confiscating the paintings and interviewing him under caution. A multimillioneuro legal battle over the ownership of the paintings will now begin. New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art estimates that Picasso produced more than 20,000 works of art during his long career, but hundreds have been listed as missing.

Sally McGrath was last seen alive, with a man, during the afternoon of July 11th and her partially buried body, with only a pair of boots on, was found in Wild Boar Spinney, Castor Hanglands near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire some eight months later in March 1980. She had been bludgeoned to death and a “Cold Case” review of hers and a number of crimes of sexual offences, including rape and attempted rape in and around the area during the 1970s, led police to arrest
the man in Fareham, Hampshire. He was to be taken to Cambridge for further questioning. Detective Superintendent Jeff Hill, who is leading the investigation, said: “These were shocking crimes in which a young woman was brutally murdered and other young women were seriously sexually assaulted. My team is dedicated to ensuring that no stone is left unturned as we gather further evidence in relation to these awful crimes.No unsolved crime is ever closed and this operation is part of an
ongoing review of cold case murder investigations within the county. “We are committed in our efforts to secure justice for Sally and her family but we also need help from members of the public. Anyone with information about Sally's disappearance and murder should not hesitate to call us. Sally's family and the rape victims have been kept fully informed of our investigation and will continue to be as it progresses.”

Sued for no warnings
One might say “like father, like son” and this time it was Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, who really put his foot in it recently during a boozy brunch. He said that the Americans had no idea when it came to geography - the UK has the best geography teachers in the world - and that the French were “riddled with corruption”. The Duke went on to blame the Serious Fraud Squad for hampering Britain’s trade deals abroad. The incident happened during a visit to Kyrgyztan and the American Ambassador branded the Duke “rude and cocky”, it was revealed in documents released by WikiLeak. However Buckingham Palace have said that although the Duke may be embarassed by his choice language he should not be faulted for “banging the drum for British Industry.”
Hed teecher apologyses The head teacher of a girls’ school in Spalding in Lincolnshire has been forced to apologise after sending out a school report by email that was littered with fourteen spelling or grammatical errors. The parent and student, neither of whom wanted to be named, said they were appalled by the report saying that if her (the head teacher’s) standards were so low, what chance did the students have of achieving high grades. However, the mother said that she was happy with all other aspects of her daughter’s schooling.
Kylie Grimes was 18-years-old when she attended a party at her friend’s house in August 2006. She has now sued her friend’s father, David Hawkins, because there were no warning signs around the pool giving the depth of the water or telling people not to dive into the pool. The teen dived in hitting her head on the bottom, causing severe head and neck injuries. She was taken to Frimley Park Hospital but has been left paralysed and is a tetraplegic. Ms Grimes is also suing the hospital, claiming negligence in its treatment of her injuries. Mr Hawkins was not at home at the time of the accident. UK NEWS
Crime rate hike A sharp rise in the incidence of crimes to do with homophobia and racism has been reported by the Home Office. The rise of 12% meant that more than 50,000 hate crimes were reported to the authorities last year. Of these, more than 5,000 were crimes related to race making a total for 2009 of 43,000 and 5,000 were related to whether a person was gay, straight or bisexual.
Don’t call her fat!
If she was marmalade, you might be forgiven for mistaking her for the food loving cartoon cat, Garfield. But grey tabby Guily and all six kilos of the five-year-old’s exotic shorthair frame, gets just a bit miffed when people suggest she's fat. Owner Chiara Bagnoli, 28 and a teacher, has put hundreds of photographs of Guily on her website and the cat has hundreds of fans, not only from the UK but as far afield as Spain and the US. She was bought from a local petshop and her owner says that Guily has always been a quiet and happy cat who loves following her around and seeks a lot of love. She also loves the rain! & !

Regional News It's official Christmas is here The Christmas lights were turned on in Malaga city at 7 pm last Saturday, marking the official beginning of the Christmas season.
The City Council foots the bill for the lights in the Alameda and other central streets like the Larios pedestrian mall – always worth a visit at this time of the year – while local businesses cover the costs in the surrounding areas. Despite the economic crisis, a spokesman for the Businessmen's Association said the idea was to celebrate Christmas without too much thought as to how much it would cost. He said each store in

Other big stores like Decathlon, El Corte Ingles and Eroski are reporting a similar trend. Recyclo Bike store manager Gregory Mills told a local newspaper that sales of folding bikes had risen by 25%. All the stores consulted agreed that more

Number of sick days drops The number of sick days taken off – which often coincide with the local ferias or national holidays – has dropped on average by 25% every month so far this year. Health experts and trade unionists agree that the drop has been caused by fears of joining the dole queue. The acting president of Malaga's Labour Medicine Association, Antonio Cardenete, said workers with contracts were hanging on to them for
dear life, preferring to go to work even when suffering from a fever or muscular pains rather than risk being suspected of malingering. The UGT trade union's secretary for health, Juan Miguel Contioso, said he agreed with the authorities' efforts to weed out
malingerers but warned that many companies were using ill health as an excuse for dismissal. He said some workers who were ill were asking for days to be deducted from their holidays rather than call in sick, as they did in the past.

Malaga proposed for biggest cruise fair With so many cruise ships calling in at Malaga these days, the Port Authorities are now setting their sights on being the the venue for the most important cruise ship fair, Seatrade Med, next year or in 2014. Port Authority president Enrique Linde said the fair would increase Malaga's value as a cruise ship destination. By the end of this year some 680,000 tourists from cruise ships will have spent an
estimated €60 million in the city. He said they would have spent more if shops and recreational facilities were allowed to open on Sundays. He said the city's monuments and
museums, especially the Picasso Museum, were popular with the tourists, but they were also looking for something more lively during their short stay in the city.

latest book that he had had sex with two 13-year-old girls during a visit to Japan. The town's councillor for women's affairs, Rosa Diaz, said that a man who had admitted to such an act in black and white did not deserve the honour of having a square named after him.

Failed kidnap plot cop jailed Manuel Recio
Domestic violence Junta refutes ‘last minute’ ‘bloodier’ than jobless claim terrorism The director of the Andalucian Women’s Institute (IAM) in Malaga said last week that domestic violence is“bloodier”and claims more lives than terrorism in Spain”, yet the polls show a general lack of concern about it. Pilar Oriente said 15 women had been killed by their partners so far this year in Andalucia, one more than for the whole of last year. Two of the victims were from Malaga. She said that on average the authorities in the
province received 17 reports of domestic violence a day, two thirds of them made by the victims and the rest made by the police. Sra Oriente added they were only “the tip of the iceberg”: “There is an underground violence
which kills little by little and which never appears in the statistics”. She said she suspected this “hidden” violence affected older women more. Sra Oriente was speaking to reporters on the International Day against Violence to Women last week.
The Junta de Andalucia’s employment councillor has categorically denied that unemployed people in the region wait until they only have a few weeks’ dole left to claim before they make any attempt to find work. Manuel Recio was replying to statements made by Santiago Herrero, the president of the Andalucian Businessmen’s Confederation (CEA), at a breakfast in Madrid last week, organised by the
Association of Journalists specialising in economic information (APIE). Sr Herrero told the journalists that it was a “problem of attitude stemming from the government’s excessive protection of the unemployed”. Sr Recio said the vast majority of unemployed people want to return to work as soon as possible and refuted Sr Herrero’s claim that they see dole as something permanent, which makes them passive about seeking work.
A Malaga court has sentenced six men, one of them a National policeman, to six and a half years in jail for planning to kidnap a woman and her two children in the provincial capital and hold them captive in a house in Alhaurin de la Torre. The policeman passed information about the woman to the leader of the gang, which included a technical engineer and a dentist. Two attempts were made to kidnap the woman and her children in November 2009 but were frustrated by the police after they discovered the agent had been passing on information obtained from a database of information about people of interest to the police. Local press reports did not give the motive for the attempted kidnapping.

The plan announced by the Junta de Andalucia and the Malaga provincial government to build a toll road between Ronda and the coast has been rejected by experts who say it would eventually lead to what they call an obsolete Costa del Sol-type mass urbanisation which would
have disastrous effects on the villages and ecosystems in the area.

preservation of the urban environment and the development of good habits that make living together more pleasantâ&#x20AC;?. He said the programme â&#x20AC;&#x201C; called Convive Mijas - would make the town a more
human and comfortable place. Different means of communication would be used to inform the public of details of the programme, the main one being the website www.convivemijas.es. The

The outbreak started in a school in the Albaicin area of the city and by the end of last week there were 46 known cases â&#x20AC;&#x201C; eight of them adults.

CiU had the most votes last time and the time before, but thanks to the country’s election law, which bends over backwards to make sure minority parties get a fair representation in the national and regional parliaments, the Socialists were able to snatch victory from it by forming the so-called tripartite government. The Socialists won 28 seats, nine less than in 2007, while its former ally, the Republican Left ERC, provided the second biggest shock on Sunday by losing 11 seats, to end up with only 10. The Partido Popular got 18, its best result ever, and given that the Socialists and the remaining smaller parties would be seen dead before asking the PP to join a coalition government, there was just no way they could slap CiU leader Artur Mas (pictured below) in the face this time.
past six years of three-way government was ICV, less rabid but just as nationalistic as the ERC. It managed to hang on to its three seats because its leader, Joan Herrera, comes across as quite reasonable, unlike the ERC’s Joan Puigcercos, who looks and often sounds quite thuggish.
T
his disillusionment is bad news for Zapatero, who has been unable to govern since his first election without allies. In 2004, he chose to go with the ERC, whose main objective is Catalan independence from Spain, and the Izquierda Unida (United Left, IU), which is dominated by the Communist Party. They were both unruly bedmates and gave Zapatero a lot of headaches, but he had to swallow it all if he wanted to stay in power.
S
ince his re-election in 2008, Zapatero has relied on IU once again, and the Basque and Canary Island nationalist parties. The ERC lost seats in 2008 so was of no use to him when it came to making up the necessary numbers. As a result, a lot of people feel that he’s been governing for everyone but the Spanish themselves. So in 2012, they had better give one of the two main parties – the Socialists or the PP – enough votes to govern alone. Then the winning party should set about reforming the electoral laws so that regional nationalist parties have less clout in Madrid, because the central government has to govern for the good of all Spaniards and Spain as a whole.
n 1780, that masterful diplomat Benjamin Franklin wrote a dutiful letter to John Jay, the envoy to Spain who represented the separatist colonies during the final years of the American Revolution. Franklin, who was in Paris serving as minister also on behalf of the recently created United States , gave Jay some pointers about seeking help from the Spanish kingdom for the colonists’ struggle against Britain . “If you are not so fortunate in Spain, continue however the even good temper you have hitherto manifested,” Franklin wrote. “Spain owes us nothing; therefore, whatever friendship she shows us in lending money or furnishing clothes..., though not equal to our wants and wishes, is however “tant de gagne;” those who have begun to assist us, are more likely to continue than to decline, and we are still so much obliged as their aids amount to.” So began the era of diplomatic correspondence in the United States. Besides offering an historic perspective, Franklin’s letter demonstrates his affinity for politeness and diplomacy. It is a behindthe-scenes glimpse of the type of strategy the Americans were trying to employ in Europe to win support for their new country.
Looking ahead

he PP won four more seats even though the other parties – with the exception of CiU – played the “diabolical Right” card to the hilt, making it sound like the second coming of Hitler if CiU were to form an alliance with the PP in order to form a government. In fact, it looks as if PP candidate Alicia Sanchez Camacho’s hardline stance against immigrants touched a chord in quite a few Catalan hearts.
A
nd it also looks as if the Catalans are tired of governments that parties put together simply in order to gain power. The Catalan branch of the Socialist Party does not have much in common with its former allies: the ERC is rabidly nationalist and republican and not leftwing at all - nationalist parties are always right-wing, being exclusive and excluding by nature. The Socialists’ other ally in the
discovered the other day that foreign residents have until the end of January to register on their local padron in order to be able to vote in next May’s local elections. I had been told – mistakenly as it turns out – that we had until the end of May this year to register. This highlights one of the main problems for foreigners living here, namely the difficulty of getting reliable, accurate information about matters that concern them, such as taxes, and where they can safely build or buy houses, to mention just two important problems. And please don’t say they should learn the language. I’m fluent in Spanish and command a huge vocabulary, thanks to my more than 40 years as a professional translator, yet even I have trouble making sense of the turgid texts put out by local councils and the Junta de Andalucia.
I
don’t like giving out incorrect information because a) it misleads people and b)it makes me look stupid. Fortunately The News has a contact in the Junta de Andalucia’s press department and I shall be having a nice long talk with her soon. That will make it easier for me to track down information of interest to foreign residents in Spanish, which I will then translate into easily understood English.This knowledge will help foreign residents to make wiser choices in next year’s local elections.
N
ow, 230 years later, a moreaggressive world power has taken a far-less diplomatic approach in dealing with Spain. A batch of secret documents collected by the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks and released on Sunday by El País illustrate how US officials have exerted tremendous pressure on the Socialist government to derail High Court investigations targeting US officials for Iraqi-related war crimes. Former US Ambassador Eduardo Aguirre (above), along with visiting US lawmakers, met secretly with prosecutors and Spanish government officials to demand that steps be taken to keep the High Court from carrying out the inquiries that were focused on torture at Guantánamo prison, secret CIA rendition flights, and the killing of a Spanish journalist in Iraq by US forces. According to one cable, Aguirre, who was stationed in Madrid from 2005-2008, told a senior Socialist official in 2007 that he “was running out of patience.” Among the things the US envoy complained about was the measure that was pushed through parliament on the fourth anniversary of the
US-led invasion condemning the Iraqi war. Aguirre was also upset about High Court Judge Baltasar Garzón’s newspaper column advocating that US and Spanish officials must be brought to justice for the crimes they have brought to the Iraqi people.
U
S Embassy officials held private meetings with Spanish prosecutors, including attorney general Cándido Conde-Pumpido and High Court chief prosecutor Javier Zaragoza to look at strategies to ensure that the investigations were not carried out or to prevent at least one of the cases from falling into the hands of Judge Garzón. Among them was the prosecution of three US soldiers for the 2003 killing of the television cameraman José Couso in Baghdad and the alleged torture of prisoners at Guantánamo prison. According to the cables, Zaragoza and Conde-Pumpido were in constant contact with embassy officials informing them of their strategies to keep the judicial inquiries from going forward. The Couso case was reopened in July.
T
he WikiLeaks documents have cause an international uproar but now there appears there may be serious judicial fallout in Spain over these new revelations. What isn’t clear is what the US government promised or didn’t promise Spanish prosecutors in its bid to derail investigations. The US Justice Department in Washington has announced an investigation into finding the culprits that leaked the secret US State Department cables. According to The Guardian, one of five publications along with El País that have been given access to the cables, at least three million US officials around the world have access to the supposedly secured military server where the diplomatic cables are sent. That is a lot of people.
U
nder the terms of the Vienna Convention, diplomats can seek and obtain information concerning the host country they are accredited to so long as it is done in a legal manner. There is nothing that shows, so far, that the United States government may have broken the law. But the pressure exerted on the Spanish government to drop judicial cases is mind-boggling. Imagine how the US Justice Department would react if the ambassador of Tunisia called on a federal prosecutor in Kansas City to throw a case that has a special interest for his country? The US Embassy spokesman in Madrid , Thomas Genton, said he regretted and condemned the leaks but assured that in no way are these personal missives the only frameworks used in drafting foreign policy. “Diplomats must engage in frank discussions with their colleagues and they must be assured that these discussions will remain private. Honest dialogue – within government and between them – is part of the basic bargain of international relations; we couldn’t maintain peace, security, and internationality stability without it.” What would Ben Franklin say?

Further to one of your letters in last week’s papers about public meetings I felt I had to write and tell you what happened to myself and my wife recently.
day, it turned out that there were to be four seperate meetings about different Campo areas and ours was to be, of course, the one at 8pm in the Casa de la Cultura.
We have lived in Spain for over 30 years and are fully integrated into our community and speak fluent Spanish.
The doors at the usual entrance were shut when we got there and, without any signs telling anybody, it turned out you had to enter through an unmarked back door. As I said, we speak Spanish so we were able to find this out. Heaven knows what happened to the other ‘foreigners’ who would liked to have attended.
We found out about the meeting on the day it was being held as someone had put up posters on the way into town that morning. Luckily neither of us work so we were able to attend. The posters said that the meetings were to be held on the Tuesday from 10am until 8pm. Whilst we wondered what on earth could take all
Of course during the meeting there was nobody to interpret what was going on and, the whole meeting was incredibly confusing with
Elizabeth Streeton I was listening to Aled Jones on Radio 2 this morning and was most surprised at his comments on what some of the teenagers of today believe about birth and pregnancy. I know that when you ask them questions 99% would scathingly say, "Did we oldies think that we’d invented sex?" and that "they know all about everything". The comments made on Aled’s show included their answers on questions such as: how long does pregnancy last?; what is a "C" section? ; what is the umbilical chord? and what is the placenta? Now I do hope that most of you have answered these questions correctly so it may surprise you to know that pregnancy lasts for a total of 12 months, a "C" section is a cult that you really should not become involved with, the umbilical chord is something connected with music and you could have chicken and chips with your placenta as it apparently is a vegetable! It made me wonder how had children of this so-called enlightened age become unaware of simple things that many mothers have passed down for generations. Because "Sex Education" is now on the curriculum for children even in primary schools, is it possible that we are failing in passing on everyday wisdoms and, yes take it from an Old Wife, do Old Wive’s sayings and
local authority employees contradicting themselves on several occasions. The upshot of the meeting was that the local people are going to have to pay for road repairs caused by the Ayuntamiento allowing huge lorries without any weight restrictions to pass along roads to deliver materials for illegal buildings. Why should we have to pay? Why don’t the companies that deliver the goods have to pay for the damage they do? We all pay our rates etc good as gold but do they look after us for our money - do they hell. And the name of the council? Coin of course!
Coin
thinking, no longer apply. How many of us still "touch wood" to ensure that things work out well, "cross fingers" when filling out the Lottery form or "never look at a new moon through glass". This I have always thought of as rubbish as I wear glasses and wouldn’t even see the moon if I took them off! But other simple sayings and actions like if you give a present of knives or other sharp objects, the recipient must give coins to the giver if you did not do this then the knife could "cut the friendship" and giving coins helped to ensure this would never happen. A new purse or handbag must always contain money to ensure that the recipient would never know hunger. And of course New Year "First Footing" had it’s own list of good luck charms: coal – so they would never be cold; whisky – so they would never know thirst and bread – so they would never know hunger. And of course a dark haired person should always be the first through the door, as they would bring good luck in with them. Even in education, we had tables drummed into us and I can still remember up to my 12 times table. We knew that "I" came before "E" – except after "C", and that "30 days hath September, April, June and November, all the rest have 31 except February
which has 28 days in a year except in a Leap year when it has 29." A red sky at night was a sailor’s delight whereas red sky in the morning meant that they should run for cover as it was a warning! We knew that to help find direction " The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West", we never "casted a clout until May was out". Doctors were kept at bay by simply eating an apple a day and for girls we NEVER went swimming when it was that "time of the month". There are many more and many are perhaps localised to the areas of the UK that we grew up in. Many are dated and old fashioned, some simply just silly, but they still bridged the gap between generations as mothers and grandmothers passed them on. This made me wonder, is this a good thing or a bad thing in today’s society, does the simple fact that "wisdoms" are not being passed down simply highlight the growing gap in communication that seems to exist now between family generations. So before all the old wisdoms disappear completely and are lost for ever, take this from an Old Wife, and NEVER, NEVER eat yellow snow. And if you don’t know why then ask your mum or possibly, your dad might know better!

How do astronomers measure the distance to stars? I often write about such and such a star being so many light years away, but have you ever wondered how astronomers measure the distance to the stars? Try this, hold your finger out in front of you and shut one eye then line your finger on a nearby object. Now shut the other eye instead and you will notice that your finger is no longer lined up on the object. This is called parallax. Now your eyes are only a few inches apart and you are looking at an object which is quite close by, but astronomers use the same method only on a larger scale. Astronomers look at a particular star and very accurately measure the angle that it is from their location. They then wait for 6 months until the Earth is on the other side of the Sun and then look at the star again. The distance from the Earth to the Sun is about 93 million miles so twice that distance is about 186 million miles so this gives them a base line to draw a simple triangle to the star. Now using a bit of trigonometry they can calculate the distance to the star. It sounds simple but the angles involved are microscopically small and it takes extremely accurate measuring equipment to work it all out. Even the closest star to us, Alpha Centauri, which is only about 4 ½ light years away, has a parallax shift of a fraction of a degree. So this method is only used on stars up to about 400 light years away - after that the angles are too small to be measured accurately. For more distant stars and even galaxies that can be millions of light years away they use 2 different methods. One method involves looking closely at the spectrum of colours that the star emits; slight variations in the spectrum indicate how bright the star should be compared to how bright the star really
is, this difference in brightness lets them make an educated guess on how far away the star is. The other method uses a particular type of star called a Cepheid variable star. This is a bit more complicated to explain but simply put these Cepheid variables are stars that vary in brightness over a regular period between 1 and 50 days. The longer between its brightest point and its faintest point the brighter overall the star will be so by counting the days between brightest and faintest and then comparing its overall brightness to other known Cepheid variables of the same cycle tells them how far away that particular star is. All of the stars that you can see in the night sky are really ‘quite close’ in astronomy terms and are all inside our own galaxy. If our galaxy (which is 100,000 light years across) was reduced to only one metre across then almost every star that you can see would be in a circle about 5 millimetres in diameter. For the record the most distant star that can be seen with the naked eye under absolute perfect conditions is only about 4,000 light years away. But the most distant object that can be seen is the Andromeda galaxy at 2.5 million light years away!

Top Ten Tips for the older dog
part one
1. Feed your older dog small meals several times a day rather than just one big on so not to put strain on his digestive system. 2. Take your older dog out for several short walks rather than one big one so as not to tire his muscles and joints. 3. Be careful playing retrieve or catch games as older joints do not stand up to sudden turns and stops. Play gentler games when out like hide and seek, go find the toy, scenting games.
4. Older dogs are not good at regulating their body temperatures - so if it is hot weather walk them early in the morning or last thing at night when it is cooler. If it is cold, walk them in the warmest part of the day and if they get wet, make sure you dry them as soon as you get back. 5. When it comes to an older dog’s brain, use it or lose it! Continue to do little bits of training and reward him for getting things right.
PET OF THE WEEK BRUNO & SOPHIE Bruno and Sophie are two German short-haired pointers, both were abandoned (separately) and then adopted by an English couple in Alhaurin who intended to give them a home for life. Their “mum and dad” now have to move out to Johannesburg in South Africa for three years and cannot take Bruno and Sophie because of the security problems. And so, reluctantly and with much heart-searching, they are looking for a new home – where the dogs will be valued and loved (and hopefully a little bit spoiled!). The pair are both around three years old, castrated and spayed and – as the picture shows – are true family members. They are the most loving and gentlest of animals (as most abandoned dogs are – although Sophie is still a bit apprehensive with strangers). They adore each other, are good with other dogs, are
great off lead in the campo, and enjoy nothing more than to retrieve balls endlessly. They do need space though, so a very special person with a garden would be perfect – and they make great guard dogs! If you want to know more, please ring Diana
at any time (landline 952 596 431 or mobile 627 024 627). Ideally, of course, it would be wonderful if they could go somewhere together, but the main thing is for them to go to people who will give them the love and attention they are now used to having.

further help.
Mr McIntyre gave a talk about the problems facing the Age Care Association in the current economic situation.
Many elderly residents require assistance with language especially in medical centres and hospitals and also to access the social help. This help can only be provided through the Spanish system where one has to be registered on the “Padrón”, otherwise you can only access care privately which will cost a great deal of money. This is covered by “La Ley de Dependencia”.
A great many of the British pensioners living on the Costa del Sol are now in their late 70s and 80s and have difficulty in managing financially, some are ill or frail or suffering from other problems and often have no close relatives to help them. There is a growing problem facing the authorities on what to do for these pensioners and the best way to help them. Some pensioners have difficulty accessing pensions and benefits and need to contact the relevant department at the British consulate for
It is very important to note that unless residents have registered with their E121 in the Spanish Health System it is only possible to receive emergency treatment in extreme cases.
Mr David Graham took the floor to explain what is covered by “La Ley de Dependencia” and how it can be accessed to provide care or help for elderly residents who are entitled to receive help from social services. It should be noted that some of the Ayuntamientos are holding informative talks on how to
understand and access “La Ley de Dependencia”. Charles Betty thanked the speakers and gave a brief explanation of how funds raised are used to help people living in the area. He then went on to explain how Age Care works closely with other help organisations often on the same case. Charles pointed out that Age Care Association is not an emergency service and is staffed only by volunteers on a part-time basis; in cases of emergency you must dial 061. The Age Care information and helplines are 691 761 088 / 655 903 182 or you can visit their website at www.agecarecosta.org.
Marlon Brando is a big handsome dog left tied to the gate at Triple A’s dog shelter suffering from terrible burns. Volunteer workers there believe that an uneducated owner had used an ‘ancient remedy’ of using petrol to heal mange – then seeing the horrific reaction on the dog’s skin had simply abandoned him. The cost to treat him was high but a campaign on Facebook collected €1,300 for treatment and suddenly Marlon Brando found fame, appearing even on Spanish national TV channel Telecinco news. He has been nursed back to health by foster
mum Marta Boyan but then was found to have leishmania, lessening his chances of adoption. That was until a family in Germany fell in love with Marlon... and he will be enjoying his first Christmas in their home.

Rodrigo knew the Count was right and also realised that there was a larger scheme unfolding; his presence could hamper the Countâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thank you, Count Alonso, I am at a loss in what to say and how to thank you for your generosity and assistance.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The purse contains enough for your travel expenses and more â&#x20AC;Śinside the satchel are your written orders and commission, plus some personal letters that I would like you to deliver for me on your arrival in Spain. You will also find a draft to my bankers for the remainder of the prize sum owed to you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A small favour â&#x20AC;Śyour father is my friend and I may call on your assistance in the future when it is needed,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said the Count, coming around the desk as Rodrigo picked up the items. He took Rodrigoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm and escorted
him to the door. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;A safe journey, Rodrigo â&#x20AC;Śwe are in changing times, Spain is changing and such is the case that so must we â&#x20AC;Śbut with loyalty and honour and maybe just a little bit of skulduggery.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But just how much skullduggery is going to be needed?

Hidden treasure and an ancient goddess... ...just two of the legends associated with the caves in Rincon de la Victoria 15 kilometres east of Malaga. Written by Jean Joss
P
opularly known as the Cueva del Tesoro (the treasure cave), the underground complex contains a number of different “salas” (chambers), some open to the public and some still hidden away from prying eyes and cameras. Originally under the sea, the limestone rocks and phyllites were forced upwards by movements in the earth's crust and since then fresh water has percolated downwards creating the varied and distinctive formations inside. It is unique in Europe and there are, apparently, only two other similar marine caves in the world that you can visit. Strange, then, that this “hija del mar” (daughter of the sea) is so little known compared to the more touristy and larger Nerja caves.
T
o explore the treasure cave you need to join an organised group with a guide (they have Englishspeaking guides on request). Descending into the earth, either down the staircase or in the glass-
sided lift, you arrive in the Sala de la Virgen, so called because this particular part of the cave was discovered by one Manuel Laza on October 12th 1951, the day of the Virgin of the Pilar. In this chamber there were remains from several different eras, including ceramics from Neolithic times. From here a short stairway leads down into the Sala de los Lagos, the lakes in question being three pools of fresh water. This is one of the biggest chambers on view and has an impressive stream running through it as well as curiously formed stalactites, a result of water filtering from above.
N
ext on the agenda is a smaller chamber, called after Marco Craso (Marcus Crassus) who, according to the Greekturned-Roman writer Plutarch in his Parallel Lives, hid here in 86 BC for eight months during political turmoil. From here the path leads into the Sala del Aguila where it needs only a little imagination to identify an eagle, as well as various
other curiosities, among the strange rock formations. Here, apparently, were also discovered ancient rock paintings of a horses and a fish.
A
long the Galerias Laberinticas (labyrinthine galleries), which live up to their name and display some striking examples of erosion by the sea in prehistoric times, you arrive at the Sanctuary of Noctiluca. This prehistoric goddess of the Moon, life, death, fertility and hunting was widely worshiped throughout the Mediterranean and in true bloodthirsty tradition exacted sacrifices from her followers. The rock formation said to be her horned “altar” had the burnt remains of animals it. However, one irreverent member of our party thought the representation of Noctiluca herself looked more like a rabbit than a goddess!
T
he furthest point of the cave is the Sala del Volcan, so named because of the slight rise in temperature inside, due its being the deepest part of the cave opened to the public.
P
eering over the barrier into the gloomy depths where you can just make out other dark openings in the rocks it isn't difficult to imagine yourself looking down the crater of a volcano.
A
nd what about the Treasure? Well legend has it that somewhere in this rocky complex are buried the royal riches of
the Almoravid kings, hidden by the last ruler Tasufin ibn Ali in the 12th century. Over the years many have searched for it without success. Most notorious of the treasure seekers was the Swiss Antonio de la Nari who spent 30 years blasting his way through galleries and passages with the aid of dynamite. You can't help feeling it was poetic justice that he blew himself up in 1847 in one of his own explosions! More recently Professor Laza Palacio spent 38 years studying the cave but only found a ceramic oil-lamp containing six coins from the time of Ali ibn Yusuf, Tasufin's father. This he considered of major significance, being well versed in the Almoravid traditions, and interpreted it as part of a ritual associated with the burying of treasure. Sadly he had got no further when
he died in 1988. But they may still be looking in those parts of the cave out of bounds to the masses …
O
utside the caves, at the other end of the car park, is the Parque Arqueologico, an area devoted to the original Mediterranean terrain and vegetation. In the centre there is a life-size copy of one of the cave walls said to show examples of cave painting discovered inside. This is, however, rather disappointing since the sun has damaged the perspex covering virtually obliterating the information board and it is hard to distinguish whether the scratch marks are there by design or merely modern graffiti. More an exercise for the legs – scrabbling up and down the stoney paths – than for the imagination!
T
he Cueva del Tesoro is between La Cala de Moral and Rincon de la Victoria. It is fairly well signed from both the autovia to Almeria (exit at 251, Totalan) and the N340 coast road (follow the purple signs). Don't be put off if you think you are lost, the caves are in the middle of an urbanisation and the entrance is in a nondescript yellow building decorated with modern art. You will know when you have arrived as there is a large parking area with covered bays. Tours start at regular intervals: 10.45, 11.30, 12.15 and 13.00 in the mornings all year round; afternoon tours are at 16.45, 17.30, 18.15, 19.00 from 15th June to 15th September and 15.45, 16.30 and 17.15 for the rest of the year.

You can taste the difference at La Estepona Floral Parra Fish and Chip Restaurant. Art Club meeting Fish and chips, that great British iconic dish, has reached such heights in the culinary world that it is now served as fine dining on the Champs Elysée in Paris where it is considered chic and fashionable when served with a wedge of lemon rather than vinegar. La Parra is a fine traditional British style fish and chip establishment but in Los Boliches. With the emphasis firmly on tradition, everything is done properly and owner Graham, a Yorkshire man not a Frenchman, is very keen to stress that fact. No frozen chips, nor cod “substitutes” here and only proper traditionally

Plus there are always a few nonfish daily specials too. Open Monday to Friday from 5.00 pm until late, Graham and the team give personal service and consideration to anyone with a special request.

TAPAS show at Christmas
Charity Fayre
TAPAS are once again transforming Restaurante Los Arcos. Just a few weeks ago TAPAS’s cosy theatre at Los Arcos was a Music Hall, and then became the setting for a Murder Mystery evening - now it’s to be transformed into a log cabin in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.
Don t miss the Christmas Fayre at Lauro Golf, Alhaurin de la Torre on Sunday December 5th. Triple S, the sports and social society are holding the event from 11am until 3pm with stalls with homemade chocolates, pies, jewellery, Christmas cards, clothes, Christmas plants and table decorations, crackers and other goodies.

Food and drink will be available from the bar, and there will be live music from ACEfm to entertain you. Go along and join in the fun!
The production, in the style of “The Andy Williams Christmas Show”, will include all the old favourite Christmas songs sung around the Christmas Tree with just a sprinkling of Carols included. Performed by the TAPAS Choir and Cabaret group
under the direction of Jane Busby, the show will undoubtedly maintain the high standard we have become used to. So to see what else is in store, why not go along and be whisked away to a Winter Wonderland for a little of that Christmas Magic. Performance times are:Friday Dec 10th 7.30pm; Saturday Dec 11th 7.30pm, and Sunday Dec 12th 4.00pm Matinee.

MOVIES TO WATCH OUT FOR
e American BY ANTON CORBIJN Starring George Clooney George Clooney didn’t have to go too far to work to star in this, his latest movie – it’s mostly set in Italy were the star now spends most of his time. It opens in Sweden where Jack (Clooney) – though he later changes his name to Edward – has just killed two people and promptly decamps to a small Italian village where he keeps a low profile as a
photographer. But you only shoot people if you are some sort of operative and so it is with Jack. It becomes clear that his specialist subject is the building of customised weapons to exacting standards and his heart lies in craftsmanship – revealed as he is shown putting together weapons with a jeweller’s careful precision. His latest client
is the sexy and calculating Mathilde (Thekla Reuten) and he takes her to a secret spot in the country to try out the weapon (no double entendre meant). Mind you, he had also packed a picnic so the business meeting takes a turn for a more romantic idyll. It’s a contemplative thriller - but don’t expect an Ocean’s 11 style of swagger. There are no
huge wham bam car chases or explosions and even the dialogue is restrained. It’s beautifully filmed, and played with restraint and is probably more art house than multiplex. But if you love a good European style movie in which George sets out his “indie” stall and plays the lone soul in search of himself then this may well be for you.
Eclipse BY LEE UNKRICH
Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings, and Bella finds herself yet again surrounded by danger and forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob – a choice that could reignite the ageless battle
Knight and Day BY JAMES MANGOLD
Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson
between werewolves and vampires. Definitely one for the Twihards – so expect it to be on the Christmas list of every young girl who swoons at the sight of Pattinson.
Starring Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz This action comedy, centred on a fugitive couple on a glamorous and dangerous adventure, is a bit of a throwback to the good ‘ol days of the Cary Grant classics. So ignore the plot holes and go with the flow. Cruise and Diaz are at their charming best, the pace is breezy and there are some great action scenes, some set in Spain. Whatever you do, don’t waste time thinking through just how Roy (Cruise) manages to move an unconscious June (Diaz) from country to country without passing through passport control! Just crack open the wine and the mince pies and sit back and enjoy.
to offer was the ‘light programme’, the ‘third programme’ and the ‘Home Service’? Pretty sad when you were a young teenager, eager to hear all the groovy music that the world of pop was offering, so it was with unbridled enthusiasm that the country’s youth embraced pirate radio. his emotion is conveyed T“Thewonderfully in the film Boat that Rocked”, a chirpy (for a change) British movie that is loosely based on the story of the pirate radio broadcasting ship, Radio Caroline, and a band of rogue DJs who captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz.

the lives and loves of the DJs living and working on the ship. I was a little surprised to realize that the DJs actually lived on the ship, as I must have been such a gormless teenager, imagining them being helicoptered to and from the ship each day! DOH!!! To be honest, I cannot say I would class this as a ‘Good’ film, but funny, lively, entertaining and even a little poignant, it certainly is.
other DJs are also loosely based on the original Caroline staff and it is fun drawing the comparisons. Kenneth Brannagh plays the ‘evil politician” determined to rid the country of the insufferable pop music and its broadcasters, and we even get a cameo role from Emma Thompson. he whole movie has a Tto very authentic ‘60s feel it, from the period’ costume, attitude to sex (if she was on the pill, a condom was superfluous) and most importantly, the music. The soundtrack encompasses all the excitement generated by those great music pioneers. here are lots of funny, Twould quirky scenes as one expect from a British comedy and one of my favourites is Christmas Day at the home of the politician, whose wife got overwhelmed by the brandy snaps and Branagh’s character deemed that had been ‘enough excitement for one day”. here was a scene that me in mind of ‘The TDeadput Poets Society’ and I was imagining any minute, all the crew would be standing on the table saying “Captain, my Captain”. It never happened, but I will let you guess which bit of the film in which it occurred if you get to watch it.

When dealing with a difficult set of circumstances as you have been doing, it is very easy to give up when you are so close to resolution. Even though something you have been working on seems futile, there are certain things going on behind the scenes that you are unaware of, and these forces are working in your favour. Keep plodding away and let others catch up with you - they will shortly and when they do you will all complement each other. Any deals that need renegotiating, contracts that need signing, legal documentation to enable things to progress, will come up for review this week. It is time to get the fundamentals in order so that the foundation of your life has a strong base from which to grow. There are exciting developments waiting in the wings. Making the people in your life the most important thing is behind this new outlook and there is a desire to build upon social alliances. Being open to seizing opportunities as they arise is what this week is all about - it is being as exact and precise as you possibly can be, examining the facts at the same time as going with your gut instinct. If something appears too much trouble or seems too complicated, do not accept it at face value - look twice, examine and you could discover a lost pearl. Accepting social invitations will widen your circle and introduce you to new avenues of revenue. The greatest of opportunities are to be found in the times of greatest personal challenge - no matter what way you look at it, there is a lot of work to be done. You can either moan or pull up your sleeves and just get on with it. Wealth and abundance are calling your name but there is a need to get rid of the excuses that you have clung to for the last few months. It is all up to you. Emotional bridges are waiting to be built.
You are observing something superficial about the way people are interacting with each other, and trust issues are to the fore. It only brings it closer to home how much you respect and look up to those who are open and honest with you. You have achieved a lot lately but this has been driven mainly by fear and insecurities - now it is time to leave the wolf at the door and begin to experience a less frantic way of living. You are about to rise up and leave the doubt behind.
There is nothing to lose and everything to gain, so take some action, put things in motion and then sit back and wait for the miracle to occur. You can do this because you are starting to feel more like your old self again, with Venus gaining momentum, making you feel lighter and wiser. Emotionally you are clearer and have some fresh understanding about events of the past. September 23rd - All comes to you with relative ease - all you have to do is smile. nd October 22
October 23rd November 21st
The material world is full of promise and gain - financially you are in a very strong position, either through luck or sheer genius, money is in your corner. You are on the rise and others sense this about you, thus increasing your popularity and the attention that you are getting. A highly creative time and this force within is seeking an outlet. So if you get an urge to take up dancing, writing, painting or even singing – then why not?
SAGITTARIUS An uneasy feeling of anticipation is welling up from within and yet you have no idea as to what is coming. Inside there is a well of energy that is propelling you to move in fast forward mode and because many others have not caught up with you yet, it can feel that you are standing alone. Realise that not everyone has the same internal accelerator peddle as you, but know and have November 22nd - faith that the whole picture will soon be revealed and it will happen at the December 21st exact time it should.
CAPRICORN Relationships are changing and you are seeing someone in a different light you are starting to view things from a whole new perspective and in turn evaluating new possibilities. Saturn and Venus are working together to help to solidify and stabilise your life. There is a need to communicate and exchange ideas with others, a sounding board allows you to find the nd December 22 motivation and inspiration to lead you onto greater levels of maturity, security January 19th and personal excellence.

● 3 to 4 large egg whites, at room temperature ● Food colouring (you can make these in all sorts of pretty colours) ● ½ tsp pure vanilla extract ● 200gr blanched almond meal or flour (Note: If the almond flour is a bit coarse, process the almond flour and powdered sugar in a food processor for a finer texture before running through a sieve) ● 200gr icing sugar ● 95gr granulated sugar ● 3 tbsp water ● Butter icing to fill
The timing in your life is spot on – you are managing with relative ease to ensure that something flows smoothly; your organisation skills are excellent. Something is happening just as you have always envisioned it - so don’t worry it will all be okay after all. It is time to rise up and let another know the truth, to set the record straight so that they may also face reality. You are very demonstrative in showing your love for someone and they will adore you for it.

You more than most have weathered the storms of 2010. There have been moments where hailstones have beaten down on you and blizzards have tried to knock you off your feet and yet you are still standing. All is changing now, Jupiter is giving you a helping hand, and even though there is still so much work to do, you are able to do it calmly and with serenity. Rewards that you couldn’t even have imagined will be yours shortly.
The mental clarity that you possess is crystal right now, it is as if someone has just turned the lights on, suddenly everything is so bright and clear. Travel becomes very likely now as a result of this clarity and the knock-on changes in perception. There is an undeniable drive inside that will not allow mistakes from the past or the walking-on-eggshell behaviour to continue into your future. Your message is simple – accept me for who I am or not at all.
Directions ● Pour half the egg whites into the bowl of your mixer. If you're using food colouring and/or vanilla, stir them into the other half of the whites in a bowl. Push the almond flour and powdered sugar through a strainer into a large bowl and whisk to blend. ● Bring the granulated sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, washing down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Increase the heat to high, insert a sugar thermometer and boil, undisturbed, until the syrup reaches 240º C. ● Meanwhile, beat the whites in the mixer with the whisk attachment over low to medium speed until foamy, then increase the speed and continue until they hold medium-firm peaks. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and slowly pour in the syrup, being careful to avoid hitting the whisk attachment. Beat the meringue on high until the peaks are firm, about 2 minutes, then set aside to rest for about 5 minutes. ● Pour the unbeaten egg whites over the almond-sugar mixture and top with the meringue; fold everything together, then stir the batter briskly until it falls off the spatula in a slow, moderately thick band. If you want more colouring, add it now. Spoon half the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a half-inch round tip and, keeping the bag vertical and 1 to 2 inches above the sheet, pipe rounds about 1½ inches in diameter and 2 inches apart onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
● Rap the pan against the counter, refill the bag and pipe out a second sheet. Set the sheets aside in a cool, dry place, allowing the rounds to rest until you can gently touch the top of the mounds without having any of the batter stick to your finger. Meanwhile, centre a rack in the oven and heat the oven to 180ºC. Place one of the baking sheets on top of a spare baking sheet and slide the double-pan setup into the oven. Bake the macaroons for 4 minutes, then quickly open and close the oven. Bake them for another 4 minutes and open and close the oven again. Continue to bake the macaroons until the tops are rounded and firm and a craggy ridge, the foot, has formed around the base, about 4 minutes (check the macaroons after a couple minutes, as the baking time will vary by oven). Slide the parchment off the hot baking pan and onto a counter and set aside until the macaroons are cool. Repeat with the second sheet of macaroons. ● Peel the cooled macaroons off the paper and match them up for sandwiching. ● Pipe a generous amount of filling of your choice (about 1 teaspoon) on one half of the macaroons and top with their mates. Pack the sandwiched biscuits in a container and refrigerate for 24 hours (or for up to 4 days) before serving. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before serving.

Eat your greens and yellow - oranges
The old adage "eat your greens" needs to be updated to "eat your dark greens and yellow-oranges", according to researchers at the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. After looking at the risk of death among 15,318 adults aged 20 and older who were part of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, they found that increased consumption of yelloworange coloured vegetables such as carrots, squashes and pumpkins and dark green ones such as broccoli, peas and spinach, can reduce the risk of death. Vegetables contain compounds that can help reduce damage to cells caused by oxygen - hence the name anti-oxidants. In particular one class of these anti-oxidants, the carotenoids, are mainly
obtained by eating fruit and vegetables. Carotenoids come in various 'flavours' including beta-carotene, alpha-carotene and lycopene. Although alphacarotene is chemically similar to beta-carotene, it may be more effective at inhibiting the growth of cancer cells in the brain, liver and skin, the researchers said. The study noted that eating yellow-orange (carrots, sweet potatoes or pumpkin and winter squash) and dark-green (broccoli, green beans, green peas,
spinach, turnips greens, collards and leaf lettuce) vegetables, which all have a high alpha-carotene content, was more strongly associated with a decreased risk of lung cancer than other vegetables.

weight off
If you want to keep that lost weight off for good Danish researchers have the answer for you. In the world's largest diet study to date, the team from the University of Copenhagen put 938 overweight adults from eight European countries on a strict 800 kcal/day diet for eight weeks, and recorded their weight loss. The volunteers were then randomly assigned to one of five different low-fat diets, and tracked for six months to find out which diet was best at preventing weight gain. After the initial eight weeks, the dieters lost an average of 11kg. But after 6 months, they re-gained around 0.5kg. Only those on the high protein/low glycaemic index diet managed to maintain their new weight. People following a lowprotein/high-GI fared worse, and re-gained nearly 2kg in weight. The researchers said if people stick to a high protein/low glycaemic index (GI) diet with more lean meats, low fat dairy products and beans and fewer refined carbohydrates such as white bread and rice, they need not count calories and can eat until they feel full. In the study, the dieters were allowed to eat as many apples, pears, oranges, raspberries and strawberries as they liked, but only "very limited" amounts of bananas, grapes, kiwi, pineapple and melon. Vegetables are allowed, but carrots, beets and parsnip should preferably be eaten raw, and potatoes "cooked as little as possible," and eaten cold. Pasta (wholegrain, cooked al dente, is also best eaten cold. You can eat brown rice, parboiled rice or basmati, and bread should be wholemeal. Avoid white bread without kernels, white rice and sugary breakfast products. Proteins are more filling than both carbohydrates and fat, so go for proteinrich foods such as lean meat, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts and low-fat dairy products.

People&fashion Corrie’s Kirk hits the X Factor stage
Contemporary lifestyle and celebrity gossip Bond goes big at auction Sir Sean Connery may be locked in battle with the Marbella courts but his alter ego James Bond has seen off Star Wars’ Darth Vader in an auction battle. Connery’s Walther pistol, used in the iconic movie poster for the 1963 film “From Russia With Love” has beaten off Star Wars and Superman items at the Christie’s auction last week. The pistol sold for a whopping £277,250 – despite a top estimate of just £20,000. The famous photo was used in publicity for the next three 007 movies. A rare Darth Vader outfit was expected to fetch as much as £230,000 but bidding stopped before it reached its reserve of £150,000 and a pair of red pants worn by Christopher Reeve in Superman III also left bidders unshaken and unstirred.
Coronation Street’s gormless but loveable character Kirk Sutherland steps up to the plate and bids to impress the X Factor judges, in one of a series of sketches to mark the 50th anniversary of Britain’s longest running soap. Unlucky in love Kirk, played by Andy Whyment, performs – for real – Kings of Leon’s chart topper Sex On Fire. He turned up with thousands of hopefuls at the Manchester audition for the show earlier this year, and sang before judges which included special guest Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.

Christmas is around the corner and that usually means a new frock and a pair of shoes if you are to step out in style for the festivities. But new research has proved what everyone knows – those killer heels really are a killer, so bear that in mind before splashing the cash. It appears that on average women can stand their new shoes for just 34 minutes before wincing with pain, and 4 in 10 slip a pair of comfy back-ups, like ballet slippers, into their bags. More than half in 10 end up walking home
barefoot – not a good look to carry off if you are heading along a campo track – and one in ten borrows someone else’s shoes. But the survey, of 4,000 women aged 18 – 65 revealed that 1 in 5 are not put off and will wear their killer heels come what may. It also revealed that women on average own 18 pair of shoes, but 8 out of 10 confessed to having 9 pairs little worn or unworn and another 4 pairs pushed to
the back of the wardrobe because they are just too uncomfy. Foot experts reckon that with just a 3 inch heel the centre of pressure is 75 per cent on the front of the foot, which leads to the burning sensation in the ball of the foot. So if you still want to copy the likes of Cheryl Cole and hit the five inchers then the message is to invest in an insole!

OLD MOBILES WORTH A FEW BOB
Britons could be hoarding hundreds of pounds worth of unwanted mobile phones, which could be cashed in with specialist firms. Research by the price comparison site Sell My Mobile found that 84 per cent of households have at least one old phone tucked away in a cupboard or drawer and selling it could generate some handy cash
as Christmas looms. Don’t get too excited though if you don’t have a modern phone like the Blackberry or iPhone - the iPhone 4 fetches on average £390 from the recycling companies. But if you have a Sony Ericcson Z230 tucked away then forget it - it’s worth just £1. The good old Nokia 3310 fetches £1.50.

US shuts down file-sharing sites
The first satellite dedicated to delivering broadband services to Europe has launched on an Ariane 5 rocket.
More than 70 sites alleged to be selling counterfeit goods or offering pirated content have been shut down by the US government. The action was taken by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, part of the US Department of Homeland Security. Domains included a
seized BitTorrent
search engine, music download sites and shops selling fake designer clothing. Many of the sites who lost their domains have continued trading via alternative addresses.
ICE confirmed that it had taken the action to the New York Times but said it could not provide any details because the seizures were part of an "ongoing investigation". Anyone trying to visit the seized pages was
WIKILEAKS
confronted by a screen saying that the domain had been taken over by ICE and which quoted US laws on copyright infringement and trafficking in counterfeit goods.
Domains seized included louis-vuittonoutlet-store.com, burberryoutletshop.com, rapgodfathers.com, mydreamwatches.com as well as BitTorrent search engine TorrentFinder.com.
INTERNET PIRACY
Pirate Bay founders lose appeal Three founders of The Pirate Bay have lost an appeal against a conviction for illegally sharing copyrighted content.
Wikileaks 'attacked' Whistle-blowing website Wikileaks said it came under attack from a computer-hacking operation as it faced a storm of protest over the latest document dump. "We are currently under a mass distributed denial of service attack," it said on its Twitter feed. The latest leak includes documents covering US dealings and diplomats' confidential views of countries including Australia, Britain, Canada, Israel, Russia and Turkey. Yesterday it emerged that the US has opened a criminal investigation into whether Wikileaks
founder Julian Assange could be charged under the Espionage Act for releasing secret diplomatic documents. And in his native Australia police have launched a separate criminal inquiry to investigate whether the latest leaks have broken Australian laws. Assange has been warned he could face criminal charges if he returned to his home country.
Assange, who is believed to be in London, is facing a criminal investigation in Sweden where two women have accused him of rape. US Attorney General Eric Holder has said that the latest disclosures jeopardised the security of the nation, its diplomats, intelligence assets and relationships with foreign governments.
The Swedish appeals court upheld the 2009 ruling against the site's founders which saw them sentenced to a year in jail and heavily fined. The ruling reduces the sentences the men face but increases fines to 46m crowns (£4.1m).
The founders defended themselves by saying that The Pirate Bay did not host any pirated material directly. The appeal court ruling will see Mr Neij serve a 10 month sentence; Mr Sunde eight months and Mr Lundstrom four months. Once Mr Svartholm Warg is fit his "criminal liability" will be tested by the appeals court. Throughout the legal action and appeal hearing The Pirate Bay website has continued to function.
The Hylas spacecraft is designed to fill so-called "notspots" remote locations such as rural villages where it is currently not possible to get a fast internet connection. Lift-off was from the Kourou spaceport in French Guiana and the satellite was successfully placed in orbit 34 minutes later. A signal from Hylas was picked up almost immediately at an antenna sited in India. Controllers will now take a number of weeks to position the spacecraft properly in the sky some 36,000km above the equator, and to check out onboard systems. Hylas (Highly Adaptable Satellite) is a commercial venture operated by startup Avanti Communications of London, but the spacecraft itself incorporates technology developed with public funding through the European Space Agency (Esa).
Three of The Pirate Bay's four founders were in court for the verdict. The other was too ill to attend. The original verdict on Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg and Carl Lundstrom was handed down in April 2009 following a lengthy trial. Lawyers acting for music labels and movie studios alleged that via The Pirate Bay, the four men helped people circumvent copyright controls.

Doc: Jeremy Clarkson: Greatest Raid of All Time
Doc:
The Day John Lennon Died Mon, Dec 6th 22.35
Jeremy Clarkson tells the story of what's been called `the original Mission Impossible' - the audacious commando raid on the German-occupied dry dock at St Nazaire in France on March 28th 1942. It had a simple aim - to destroy the dry dock and thus deny the German battleship Tirpitz a safe haven on the Atlantic coast of France.

Other objects used to clear ice included a CD case, while 13 per cent risked damaging their windscreen by using hot water to remove ice.

The 184PS also offers a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, and comes with all-wheel drive as standard. All transmissions have been revised to improve efficiency. The car’s clever
adaptive four-wheel drive system switches automatically between two- and four-wheel drive as conditions demand. In normal driving, only the front wheels are driven, saving fuel, but in slippery conditions four-wheel drive is employed, switching drive to front and rear wheels for optimum traction.

The EU proposals would apply to four offences held responsible for 75 per cent of fatalities: drink-driving, speeding, jumping traffic lights and not wearing a seat belt. They would also be used to track down and punish motorists using a handheld mobile, driving under the influence of drugs, illegal use of safety lanes and motor cyclists who ride without a safety helmet. But Britain remains unhappy with the proposals, which have been drawn up by Siim Kallas, the EU commissioner with responsibility for transport. "For example, there are questions still to be answered over the costs of such a scheme to the UK, and the different legal responsibilities placed on vehicle owners and drivers across the EU.” said a spokesman. Under the EU proposals motorists would initially receive a demand for payment from the foreign police force.

Sports THE ASHES 2010/2011
For once the Gabba didn't turn out to be England's jinx. The team made a record breaking fightback as the first Ashes Test at Brisbane finished in a draw, and Australia were reduced to a lacklustre ineffective rabble. By racking up 517 for one declared – Alastair Cook hitting an epic 235 not out and Jonathan Trott a scarcely less impressive undefeated 135 and that
Bradley Wiggins scoffs at Staff criticism Bradley Wiggins has said British Cycling performance director Dave Brailsford's role with Team Sky will not affect medal hopes at London 2012. Retired Olympic champion and now head of the United States team Jamie Staff had questioned Brailsford's additional role with the professional road team. But Wiggins, 30, told BBC London 94.9: "It's a load of rubbish to be honest. Jamie has now gone to the American job and I think a lot of it is tongue in cheek, winding up, mind games now." Wiggins won three medals at the Athens Games in 2004 and two at Beijing in 2008.
Records tumble and the Aussies crumble
after being badly dropped by Michael Clarke at slip off Shane Watson when he had 75 – the tourists scoffed at those who, not unreasonably, had been predicting their demise on the third afternoon. Cook's massive 235 in the second innings was the highest score ever at the Gabba, beating the 226 that Don Bradman knocked up for Australia v South Africa in 1931. And the unbeaten second-wicket stand of 329
between Cook and Jonathan Trott broke two records: 1: The previous highest second-wicket stand at the Gabba was 272 by Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting for Australia against England in the 2002-03 Ashes. 2: The previous highest stand for any wicket at the Gabba was between Michael Hussey and Brad Haddin who scored 307 in Australia's first innings. Cook passed Don Bradman’s record score at
the Gabba of 226, while his unbroken partnership of 329 with Trott was the highest for the second wicket in any Test here. England, who have never before reached 500 against Australia for the loss of just a single wicket, even 72 years ago at The Oval, where Len Hutton hit 364, their second wicket went down at 411.But even more incalculable than all the numbers, however, was the psychological impact that England’s comeback will undoubtably have on the Aussies. The Australians’ theory that Trott doesn’t relish the short ball was unable to be tested on this flat pitch at the Gabba. And as Trott reached his fourth Test hundred in the last over before lunch he celebrated with a triumphant leap and a football-style cradling gesture to signify the recent birth of his first child, Lily. So England head for Adelaide in buoyant mood for the second Test which begins on Friday.

More away day blues for Rock-on Malaga
The FA Cup third round draw had rockers Noel Gallagher and good friend Serge Pizzorno of Kasabian at Wembley on Sunday, with Noel pulling out a top of the chart tie. Oasis guitarist Noel watched friend Serge draw Manchester United in a home tie - then matched them up with bitter enemies Liverpool in the game of the round.
Mallorca 2 Malaga 0 Hopes were high after Pellegrini was able to field one of Malaga’s strongest sides of the season having been plagued with injuries for so long. The first 20 minutes of the match was even stevens with a few half chances for both teams. Malaga striker Rondon, back from injury, was looking strong up front as was Fernandez. On 25 minutes Duda had a free kick well saved and it was Fernandez who created the next chance which was well defended, but from the resulting corner Weligton had a free header which hit the post. In the 38th minute Ruben, in goal and also back from injury, saved well from a Mallorca attack. A good first half but it all

soon went wrong for Malaga at the beginning of the second half. After some weak defending Mallorca striker Webo slotted home when given too much time and space in the box, and four minutes later Castro scored an almost identical goal to the first. Pellegrini sent on substitutes Portillo and Fernando in an attempt to change the game on the hour mark, Rondon went close when
he headed over, as did Fernandez. On 89 minutes Eliseu won a penalty and stepped up to take it only to see it saved by the Mallorca goalkeeper Aouate to compound Malaga's misery and see them remain in the bottom three. Next game is at home to Racing Santander, which now becomes a six pointer. By Scott Forbes
In an unreal twist Noel and Serge had joked about drawing their relevent teams out to play each other, this duly happened as Pizzorno pulled a home tie for his own team, Leicester City, with Gallagher remarkably drawing his team, Manchester City, to play them. Gallagher said: “We were talking about drawing each other before hand. But to see it happen, what are the odds on that.”

Kaymer wins the race to Dubai After an incredible finish to Martin Kaymer’s season he now ends the year in style as European No1 Golfer. Martin Kaymer was crowned European No1 after the Dubai World Championship on Sunday. The 25 year old from Düsseldorf, who succeeded Lee Westwood at the top of the European standings, finished with a round of 72, while McDowell joined him on six under par in a share of 13th place following a 68.
McDowell needed to finish in the top three of the game to have any chance of catching up with Kaymer, and although disappointed he wasn’t able to secure the victory he so much wanted, G Mac was pleased with the incredible season he has had. He won the US Open

Martin Kaymer has becomes the youngest player to end a season as No.1 since Ireland’s Ronan Rafferty in 1989. He has enjoyed a great season with a number of victories such as the US PGA Championship, Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, the KLM Open and the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. “I am very satisfied with my year,” Kaymer admitted. “All of the goals that I set for myself, for my career, everything happened this year.” It’s hardly surprising Kaymer is satisfied with his year as all in all he has amassed over 3,300,000 euros in prize money!
holed his birdie putt, while Ian Poulter had a bogey six. Poulter was docked a shot on that hole after he dropped his ball on his marker, leaving Karlsson to win it. The Swede's victory left Poulter distraught. He told Sky Sports: "I was handed the ball back and have gone to mark it and literally it slipped two or three inches above the coin. It dropped on the edge and the coin flipped over and that is a shot penalty.
Ian Poulter shows his frustration at coming so close

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho denied his team were humiliated by Barcelona after a 5-0 thumping at the Camp Nou."One team played to their potential and one didn't," said Mourinho. "Loss, yes humiliation, no. It was a defeat we deserved, we just weren't good enough.”

Lional Messi’s scintillating display overshadowed Cristiano Ronaldo in what was being billed as much a contest between the world’s two greatest players as between these two fierce
Spanish rivals. Although targeted for some tough and cynical treatment, Messi turned in a display that was just staggering. Even the elbow of Ricardo Carvalho couldn’t stop Messi and the
ex Chelsea defender escaped punishment for that and also a deliberate handball in the second half. After Barca’s fourth goal went in they treated the fans to a superb display of football, and
Puyol is about to go flying as Ramos moves in
although Jose Mourinho wasn’t admitting it, the exhibition certainly looked
humiliating as Pep Guardiola’s side didn`t allow the Real side a look in. A dangerous looking tackle by Ramos on Messi in stoppage time saw the Madrid man dismissed, and then things kicked off with Puyol being pushed over by Ramos as he left the pitch. A sad end to a great performance. The win ensured Barcelona leapfrogged their rivals at the top of the table as the Catalan side went 2 pts clear.
SPOTLIGHT Ryder Cup could become a four day event There is already a warming to the idea of playing the matches over 4 days instead of three. A fourday Ryder Cup would solve the problem of playing foursomes and fourballs on the same day, for play is now so slow they struggle to complete both series even if the weather is favourable. Representatives of both sides will meet in the New Year , and the players will be sounded out to gauge the feeling for changing the format.
FOOTBALL England drawn with Japan in Women's World Cup group England have been drawn against Japan, Mexico and New Zealand in the group stages of the 2011 Women's World Cup in Germany next summer. Hope Powell's team won their qualifying group before beating Switzerland 5-2 on aggregate in September's play-offs. Japan, USA and Brazil were the seeded teams for the draw along with hosts Germany, who are seeking their third successive victory in the finals.
