State of WORLD We hit the emergency at Rock... nuclear plant ICKHAM’S
The nuclear plant at Cofrentes in Valencia declared a state of alert because of a protest action by 14 Greenpeace activists which started at 6.30am on Tuesday. By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
The front page story last week about Spain wanting to encourage more property buyers from the uK to come back here certainly sparked some furious letters about problems ex-pats had been subjected to. While we are not implying in the slightest that it is just the foreigners that have these problems, it does highlight that much more is needed to be done before Spain has a hope in hell of encouraging back the Brits. Spain has to look at all the legal systems and put its house in order very carefully so people in the future can be confident that they are not going to be ripped off. Of course, sometimes it is the purchasers’ fault for not having checked all the details of the purchase properly but I know of at least two people who had employed properly registered Spanish lawyers and had done all the necessary work but still ended up with huge bills from the local councils after they thought they'd paid for everything. Thankfully this is still rare and most purchases go through without a hitch but these few give the whole country a bad name. With so many houses and flats standing empty it seems to be absolutely essential for the Spanish local authorities, Government and banks to do something drastic to help the housing industry. There does seem to be slight movement starting in the housing market now but why on earth are they still giving planning permissions for yet more housing stock to be built before they sell what is already standing empty? Madness!
The Nuclear Safety Council has also activated its emergency response strategy. Greenpeace is demanding that the plant should be closed down on
March 19th when Iberdrola's permit to exploit it runs out. The government has shown signs that it is softening its stance on the closure of
nuclear plants and Parliament is expected to approve an amendment to the Sustainable Economy Law which would open the door to the possibility of
prolonging the life of the country's nuclear plants, something the Socialist government had opposed until quite recently. The Cofrentes plant is the fifth
oldest in Spain and Greenpeace claims that it is functioning “dangerously”, and that several faults and problems have been reported at the plant.
Mobile World Congress opens Cost of living index up The sixth Mobile World Congress (MWC) opened on Monday in Barcelona, offering the latest in operating systems, content, devices and even chips for more than 50,000 visitors. Microsoft's Steve Ballmer, Google's Eric Schmidt as well as Twitter's Dick Costolo and Carol Bartz
from Yahoo are attending. According to the experts, the congress faithfully reflects the ongoing collision between the net and mobile communication, as smartphones get ever more popular, smarter and more powerful. They predict that smartphones will exceed
the number of PCs in the world by 2013. Figures indicate this could happen even earlier - smartphones are already being shipped in greater number than PCs - 100.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to 92 million PCs.
Inflation rose to 3.3 per cent in January, the National Institute of Statistics confirmed on Monday. The inflation is driven by higher electricity prices which has raised the price of food products and
transport. The industry ministry approved an electricity hike of 9.8 per cent last December – little more than the price of a cup of coffee per person, he said – but consumer protection groups say the hike has turned out to be higher than 15 per cent.

Middle East unrest spreads to Iran Tehran's police chief, Ahmad Reza Radan, blamed the opposition leaders for instigating the protests. Dozens were detained in the capital and opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi, a former prime minister, and Mehdi Karroubi, a former speaker of parliament and a senior cleric, were placed under virtual house arrest to prevent them from attending the Tehran rally, which was lauded by the
US administration. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the US supported the protesters who, she said, have "the same rights that they saw being played out in Egypt" and called on Iran to "open up" its political system. She hailed the “courage” and “aspirations” of the antigovernment protesters. But conservative parliamentarians said Mehdi Karroubi and Mir

Groups of Japanese visitors are becoming an increasingly common sight in the streets of Cuenca, a town in the north of Castilla-La Mancha province which is not usually high on tourists' “must-see” lists. However, it has several features which appear in a popular Japanese cartoon – its hanging houses, St Peter’s Bridge and the Castle, among others. Despite its inhospitable climate which keeps many people away, Cuenca belongs to the Group of World Heritage Cities and more European tour operators have been including it in their itineraries in recent years.

Anniversary lunch to mark failed coup Speaker José Bono has invited King Juan Carlos and other political leaders to lunch with him in Parliament on February 23rd – the 30th anniversary of the failed coup usually called 23-F in the Spanish press. All the other guests, who include former PM Felipe González, Partido Popular founder Manuel Fraga and former Communist Party leader Santiago Carrillo were in the chamber when a group of Guardia Civil burst in, firing shots at the
ceiling and commanding all those present to get down on the floor. Only two men disobeyed, president of the Chamber Landelino Lavilla, who will attend the lunch, and former PM Adolfo Suarez who suffers from
Alzheimer's and cannot even remember he was the prime minister who, together with King Juan Carlos, steered Spain through the transition from dictatorship to democracy. Suarez had resigned only three weeks
earlier to avoid a coup he knew was being planned. In his letter of invitation, Sr Bono points out that the past 30 years have been “especially fruitful for strengthening our country's democracy and freedoms”.
British neo-Nazis plotted to kill Garzón Judge Baltasar Garzón, who became internationally famous when he attempted to extradite the former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet from Britain in 1998, has revealed in a new documentary film about his life that a British-based neo-Nazi group had
plotted to assassinate him because he was investigating the crimes of the Franco regime. Members of the group had apparently planned to murder him last summer in The Hague where he worked temporarily at the
International Criminal Court after being suspended from Spain's National Court. Ironically, the 54-year-old judge was suspended for abuse of power after he opened a probe into the disappearance of tens of thousands of people during
Spain's 1936-39 Civil War and the 36 years of Franco's dictatorship. Garzón found out about the assassination attempt last July when the FBI notified him it had intercepted emails between members of the group containing details of the plot.
One million too many The National Statistics Institute (INE) has admitted that the country's population has been overestimated by more than one million people because of poor record-keeping and the country's town halls bid to keep their central government populationbased funding. Antonio Argüeso, the INE's Deputy Director General of Socio-demographic Statistics, told reporters that “there are 46 million of us in Spain, although the official figure for the moment is 47 million." He
said the over-calculation would be corrected in the INE's next census, which would be based on annual surveys of households that would provide a more accurate picture of its population than electoral rolls. In the past, the INE had only used household surveys once every ten years. Sr Argüeso said town hall figures could vary by as much as four percent, mainly because many immigrants had left Spain over the last two to three years without informing their town hall, thus remaining on the electoral roll.

Mayor under fire for pollution Ecologists in Action have denounced Madrid Mayor Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon and the Madrid Community environment delegate, Ana Botella, for “not taking the necessary measures” to guarantee Madrileños a quality of air that “may not be brilliant but which will at least meet the legal pollution limits”. A spokesman for the group said they would be accused before the courts of a “crime against the environment”, as set out in article 325 of the Penal Code. During a two-week period, air pollution in Madrid reached dangerously high levels until last Sunday, when wind and showers finally rid the city of the smog hanging over it. The next
day the mayor told reporters the capital's levels of toxic gas Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) will be brought back in line with European legal safety levels within five years. He does not intend to do anything about the 2.5 million weekly car journeys that are made into the city, or introduce a congestion charge, measures that he claims will hurt the economy and destroy jobs. Instead, he unveiled a plan for a local network of refuelling centres for vehicles that run on alternative power, such as natural gas, liquid gas or bioethanol. By the end of this year, Madrid should have 31 such stations, in addition to 280 recharging stations for electric cars.

Battle on tax cheats steps up The Tax Office (AEAT) collected more than €10 million last year from tax cheats – 24 per cent more than the previous year. In an effort to outdo themselves this year, AEAT will be targeting professionals they suspect of failing to fully declare their income, and people claiming unemployment benefit while working on the side. To do this, inspectors will step up joint action with their colleagues in the treasury and labour branches of the Social Security system. However, there are only 2,000-3,000 electric cars running in the whole of Spain, most of them not in the capital. The mayor highlighted other City Council efforts, such as renewing its own fleet of vehicles with less-polluting models, building 200 kilometres of Metro lines and pedestrianizing some inner-city streets. He said these measures have given
Madrid a better air quality today than 10 years ago.

The party's candidate for mayor of Valencia, Alejandro Escribano, ruled out political motives for the death, as well as robbery, because nothing was taken from the victim's home. But a party member told reporters Marco's defence of gay rights and his political role “made for an explosive cocktail". MADRID

Mr Berlusconi has denied paying for sex with Karima El Mahroug, known as Ruby, when she was 17, and also rejected claims that he abused his power by seeking her release when she was detained in another case.
However, he acknowledged having called the police when she was held on suspicion of theft. He said he was doing a favour for the then-Egyptian leader, Hosni Mubarak, because Mr Berlusconi was told the girl was Mr Mubarak's granddaughter. Ruby, now aged 18, has denied sleeping with the prime minister but has admitted receiving €7,000
from him as a gift after one of his parties. If convicted, Mr Berlusconi could face up to 15 years in prison. Although frequenting prostitutes is not a crime in Italy, having sex with one under the age of 18 is an offence that commands a prison sentence. The prosecutors have submitted documents detailing the evidence against Mr Berlusconi, which allegedly includes proof that

payments were made by his aides to a "significant number" of young women, including Miss Mahroug. Last month, Italy's Constitutional Court amended a law granting members of the government temporary immunity from prosecution, ruling that individual judges should be allowed to decide whether ministers should be tried while in office.
A new panel of judges appointed after anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders’ initial trial collapsed in October, has granted him the right to challenge the charges against him of inciting hatred. Mr Wilders had complained of bias against him. No date has yet been set for the start of the second trial, but if it goes ahead, the judges have said his lawyers will be UNITED STATES

A court in Ecuador has fined US oil giant Chevron a reported $8bn for Foreign minister read wrong UN destroying large areas of rainforest of the country's Amazon region. speech Ecuadorean Indian groups said Texaco - which merged with Chevron in 2001 - dumped more than 18 billion gallons of toxic materials into unlined pits and rivers between 1972 and 1992, destroying their livelihood. Crops were damaged, farm animals killed and cancer increased among the local
population. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of 30,000 Ecuadoreans, and has dragged on for nearly two decades. The trial began in 2003 after almost a decade of legal battles in the US. At that time, a US appeals court ruled that the case should be heard in Ecuador. Pablo Fajardo, lawyer for the plaintiffs,
described the court ruling as "a great step that we have made toward the crystallisation of justice". He added that the damages award was too low and he was also considering an appeal. In a statement, Chevron said it would appeal, and called the ruling "illegitimate and unenforceable". The
corporation said the ruling was contrary to legitimate scientific evidence. Environmentalists hope the case will set a precedent, forcing companies operating in developing countries to comply with the same anti-pollution standards as in the industrialised world.

Italy seeks EU cash for migrant crisis The Italian government has formally requested some €100m in aid from the European Union to help it cope with thousands of Tunisians arriving on its shores. Some 5,000 migrants have landed on the Italian island of Lampedusa in recent days, following the recent unrest. The mayor of Lampedusa has declared a state of emergency. A holding centre designed for 850 people is reported to be overflowing. The island, which normally has a population of about 5,000 people, is closer to North Africa than the Italian mainland. The migrants have arrived in small and overcrowded boats. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi told EU president Herman Van Rompuy in a telephone conversation that the situation "is urgent and concerns all of the European Union". Italy's interior minister Roberto Maroni said he had filed a request for funds
on Monday. On Sunday, Mr Maroni said Europe was not doing anything to help stop the flow of migrants and that he would request permission from Tunisia for Italian authorities to intervene, but Tunisian government spokesman Tayeb Baccouche dismissed the statement as "unacceptable". A spokeswoman for the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Simona Moscarelli, said Italy must fly migrants from Lampedusa to the Italian mainland as soon as possible. She described the migrants as "a mixed flow" - some were fleeing insecurity in Tunisia, following last month's uprising there, while others were seizing the chance to get to Europe to find work. Mr Maroni has also asked for the intervention of the EU's border management
agency, Frontex, and placed an additional 200 soldiers on alert to supervise the centres where the migrants are staying. Lampedusa mayor Bernadino Rubeis said on Tuesday: "There is an entire nation trying to escape Tunisia to reach Italy and then to go on to other countries." In the past Frontex has helped Spain to stem a flow of African migrants to the Canary Islands and Frontex currently has a police team in Greece, to stop illegal migrants entering the EU from Turkey. Any Frontex deployment to Lampedusa would require days if not weeks of planning, as the EU member states would have to agree on their contributions to the mission, in terms of personnel and equipment.

The Spanish aim to reactivate the tripartite talks - under that process there should be a meeting at ministerial level once a year. The last one
scheduled for July last year did not take place and attempts to reschedule in Madrid in November and December failed. Thursday’s meeting is against the backdrop of the opposition PP party moving a motion in Parliament calling not only for Spanish sovereignty over Gibraltar’s waters, but also a reviving of the Spanish claim to Gibraltar as a whole.
Gibraltar Ornithological and Natural History Society The Gibraltar Ornithological and Natural History Society (GONHS) founded in 1976, is a nongovernmental, membership-based organisation committed to research into and conservation of nature in Gibraltar and the region of the Strait of Gibraltar. The Society works independently and in collaboration with other organisations and scientific
or conservation institutions to achieve these aims. Members are committed to environmental and biological education both through the Society’s own programme of activities and by supporting others and membership is open to all those who share their aims.

Pamper Evening success story The Gibraltar Government is providing new premises for the Gibraltar Society for Cancer Relief, which they will soon be moving into, and the society has also received a boost in funds following a “pamper evening”. The evening was organised in conjunction with the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) and held in the Rooke Officers Mess - it has already raised £1600, with promises of yet more to come in. The evening saw a variety of stallholders showing off their hairdressing and beauty treatments skills, along with more exotic treatments like nibbling fish very good for hard skin on your feet, we are told - to complementary therapies. Pamper Evenings receive support from many local businesses and SAAFA coordinator Jennifer Sheehy was the driving force between this latest one. The Gibraltar Society for Cancer Relief will be using the money to furnish and equip the new premises and offer a small hospice facility. Spokesperson Helen White said: “Our dream is that one day we may be able to employ a palliative care doctor.”
More than just a day’s shopping Gibraltar isn't just about shopping. The Rock may look small but there plenty of things to do, and the best views are to be had from the cable car. As you go straight to the top, you get panoramic views of Spain, Africa, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean, which are all breathtakingly beautiful. You won't be able to miss the Rock's famous Barbary apes – or Macaques, to give them their proper name – that is, if they haven't all gone down to the town as they have been doing a lot of lately. You can either eat at the Top of the Rock coffee shop and restaurant before you take the cable car back down, or wait to enjoy an alfresco lunch at one of the many cafes lining the streets before heading for Main Street, where you can find some great duty free items such as electronics, designer sun glasses, drinks, cigarettes and perfumes and jewellery from some of the best High Street names, including Marks and Spencer, Wallis and Mothercare. Afterwards,

check out Casemates Square where you will find a variety of shops including the Rock’s glassblowing company which has demonstrations on how to produce the fabulous glasses, vases, paperweights and bowls among other things that you can then purchase in the shops before you hail a taxi or catch a bus to take you back to the border crossing.
Other alternatives The walking tour of the Upper Rock is perfect for the more energetic. Take the cable car up to start the interactive tour which you receive with your cable car ticket. Follow this tour around the “Top of the Rock” '- it takes from half an hour to about two hours - then you follow the country road that winds down the hill to St Michael’s Cave, which takes about twenty minutes. There you will find some very impressive stalagmites and stalactites. Another short walk downhill leads you to the Apes’ Den, where Gib's most famous residents will entertain and amuse you. But it's not the best place
for a lunch break as some of the apes are very good at stealing your food. A very short uphill hike will bring you to the Upper Galleries, or the Great Siege Tunnels, where you’ll find some of the most impressive of Gibraltar’s fortifications, made by the soldiers who served here. The City Under Siege Exhibition will help you to relive this most impressive part of the history of Gibraltar, taking you back in time again, as you view the second important fortification of Gibraltar. While you’re at the Top of the Rock, you’re going to want to visit the Moorish Castle, where some say, it all began. Alameda Gardens isn’t far and is the perfect place for an undisturbed picnic for your luncheon, prior to heading back toward Main Street, just a short walk of five or ten minutes, where you can find all sorts of duty free treasures as you shop your way back to your finish line.

What nicer, peaceful way to begin the day than taking a boat out into the Bay of Gibraltar for a two hour trip, to view and meet up with some of the sea’s most friendly and charming creatures? The Relaxed Tour starts in the Alameda gardens, where you will enjoy a wide variety of plants and flowers, some of which are found on very few other places on earth. After your stroll round the gardens, the tour includes the trip up the Rock in the Cable Car, described earlier, followed by lunch or a drink and a light snack at the Top Station cafeteria. Taking the cable car down, you can enjoy the Museum of Gibraltar, which is found inside a piece of history itself, an old historic building - it will give you some amazing insight into the history of the Rock before heading back to your hotel or the border crossing.

UK News Forests not Victory for common sense A Bill is set to go before Daniel Hamilton from for sale Parliament outlining campaign group Big Brother The sale of Britain’s forests has been put on hold after widespread public outcry and thousands of signatures on many petitions carried out online and in towns throught the UK. The proposal was to sell 85 per cent of the UK’s remaining woodland, some 258,000 hectares, over the next ten years to private companies, charities and local communities, including some timber companies for commercial use. The land is in the hands of the Forestry Commission and currently the Government can only sell off a maximum of 15per cent of the forest estate. They wanted to increase it to raise £100 million toward the Environment Department’s budget. Environment Seretary Caroline Spelman said that the sale would not now go ahead until the protections by law given to the woodlands had been “significantly” improved, adding that the Government was committed to increasing the protection for public access and the protection of rights of way and walkways. The proposals include a £250 million sale of leaseholds for commercially valuable forests to timber companies, measures to allow communities, charities and even local authorities to buy or lease woods, and plans to transfer well-known "heritage" woods such as the New Forest into the hands of charities. Ms Spelman said: "In light of the Government commitment to increase protection for access and public benefit in our woodlands, the criteria for these sales will be reviewed so that protections are significantly strengthened following the inadequate measures that were applied to sales under the previous administration. Pending this review, no individual woodland site will be put on the market."
“sensible levels” of changes to the Protection of Freedom Bill. The planned changes will mean that not everybody who works with children and the elderly will have to be registered. The Chief Executive for the Barnado's charity, Anne Marie Carrie, described it as a “victory for common sense”, adding that there was already plenty of legislation in place for safeguarding vulnerable people who have unsupervised, substantial access from others. Storage of DNA is also on the agenda. The proposals would mean a ban on holding onto the DNA of people who have not been convicted, and a time limit of a maximum of three years for storing the DNA of those who are convicted of a “serious crime”. However
Watch said that it would not apply to more than 1.1 million innocent people whose DNA is already held on police files, and called for these details to be deleted from their files. Town Halls will be prevented from snooping in bins or misusing antiterrorism powers in school catchment area disputes. CCTV and automatic number plate recognition powers will also be curbed dramatically as well as wheel-clamping on private ground and the banning of schools fingerprinting children without their parents’ formal consent. It will also be a victory for gay rights - people with old convictions for consensual gay sex will be able to apply for their record to be deleted from the national police computer.
Traced by Facebook A painter and decorator was arrested after the woman he assaulted in North London, leaving her bruised and with a bleeding ear during May 2010, tracked him down on Facebook. The assailant has now been found guilty at the Old Bailey of attempted rape, sexual assault and actual bodily harm and has been sentenced to six years in jail. He told his victim his name, Alpha Gray, his age and the fact that he lived nearby while he was assaulting her in Tuffnel Park, North London. Because of his unusual first
name, the victim trawled through the social networking site and after discovering him she told police. Gray told the court that he was not the attacker and had been drowning his sorrows on his birthday after his brother’s life support had been switched off that morning following a knife attack a fortnight before. The victim, in her 20s, said in a statement: "I knew I had to do everything I could to try to stop this man from doing this to anyone else as he is clearly a danger to women and must be stopped."
Which? challenges card charges Consumer watchdog Which? is challenging credit and debit card companies over the amount levied by them for using cards by complaining to the Office of Fair Trading. Cheap airline ticket companies are among the worst, but cinemas, the DVLA, local authorities and estate agents are now jumping on the bandwagon of “outrageous” charges. Which? have said that the companies should be “upfront” about their “supercharges” and said
that consumers should only have to pay the charge made to retailers – around 20p for a debit card payment or 2 per cent of the transaction on a credit card - unless told otherwise beforehand by way of clear advertising and promotions. Which? added that retailers should not be using credit and debit card transactions to boost their profits. The Office of Fair Trading has 90 days to respond to the complaint.

King in Malaga for Armed Forces Day King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia will preside over the Armed Forces Day celebrations, to be held for the first time in Malaga on May 28th and 29th. Activities over the Saturday and Sunday include exhibitions by the army, navy and air force, and ceremonies to honour the national flag and those who have died while

Spain seeks higher olive oil price
1987, when it was decided to hold the event in different cities throughout Spain to strengthen the relationship between the people and the armed forces. Only the date stays
the same – the event is always held on the weekend of the Sunday closest to the Day of St Ferdinand, May 30th – King Ferdinand III during his lifetime.
Environment minister Rosa Aguilar told a meeting of olive oil producers in Cordoba last week that the government will urge the EU to force a rise in the price of their product, which is so low that producers barely cover production costs. She said the ministry plans
to send a commission to Brussels to discuss the matter with the EU's agriculture commissioner, Dacian Ciolos. Spain wants the EU to approve storing a certain amount of olive oil, not to create a shortage but enough to force up the

Cannabis the most common addiction Official figures show that the most common addiction for under age youths in Andalucia is cannabis. In 2003, just over 45 per cent of the minors who were being treated for addictions were hooked on cannabis. That figure rose to 85 per cent last year. Currently there are 543 minors in the Junta de
Andalucia's rehabilitation programme - 38 have been treated before and the majority (86 per cent) are boys. Only four per cent are hooked on cocaine and two per cent on cigarettes and alcohol. Less than one
per cent are dependent on pills. The positive news is that the number of minors in the programme has dropped 30 per cent over 2009. The biggest drop in numbers was in Cordoba, followed by Malaga.
Four Bolivian boys and one girl aged 10 to 15 were refused entry at Malaga airport on Sunday evening for not having the necessary visas and by press time on Tuesday they had spent two nights in the so-called rejection zone. Their families have been spending the night just outside. A Malaga judge turned down a habeus corpus appeal presented by their court-appointed lawyer that would have allowed them to enter the country. The immigrant aid group, Andalucía Acoge, the Red Cross and the Ombudsman (Defensor del Pueblo Español) have
tried to help them but it was expected on Tuesday that they would be returned to Dublin, their last stop on their journey from Bolivia via Brazil. The uncle of one of them begged the authorities to have some compassion, saying their families do not have the money to pay the fare back to Bolivia. The police suspect they were brought in in such a roundabout way to avoid immigration controls. An airport official said: “If we let them in for humanitarian reasons, the next day more would turn up.”
Local train to run more often Thanks to a series of improvements carried out over the past five years, the local Fuengirola-MalagaFuengirola train will start running at 20 minute intervals instead of 30 this summer. The authorities hope that when the airport's T-3 station opens, the local train will become the main means of transport to the airport.

The Guardia's Special Diving Unit was called in and by late afternoon Monday several body parts had been recovered. A Guardia spokesman said only an autopsy would be able to determine if they belonged to a man or a woman, and establish the cause of death. He said the well would be drained to make sure all the parts had been recovered. Specialists from the Judicial Police said they were keeping an open mind as to the cause of death because an advanced state of decomposition could have dismembered the body. They said the only clue they had to the possible time of death was that the chain on the well cover had been found broken last October.

But the latest report from the provincial government's innovation department notes that public solar energy production remained more or less the same because of austerity cuts.

Martin Delfín Writes for the English language version of
Saving Andalucia
What the polls don’t say
he Socialists held a meeting in Seville at the weekend for mayors from all over the region to give them ideas about how to win back around half a million Socialist voters who have been telling the pollsters they intend to stay at home on May 22nd, the day of the municipal elections. Basically, they were told to stop wasting money because austerity is here to stay for a while and to forget about another building boom, because it’s simply not going to happen. The idea of linking their salaries to the size of their towns’ populations was also floated. That would mean an awful lot of mayors taking a big salary cut, so it will end up in the bin of vote-catching proposals that never get off the ground.
T

T
he Socialists are seriously worried by the polls which indicate that the Partido Popular might pip them to the post this time around. If that happens, it would be the equivalent of the Tories winning every Labour seat in the north of England. It would be nothing more than a political tsunami which wouldn’t wipe out the party – it’s been around some 130 years – but the psychological damage would be devastating.
A
ndalucia, which the Socialists have governed since it became an autonomy in 1981, is the second largest of the country’s 17 regional governments – officially called autonomous communities – after Castilla-Leon, which is currently governed by the Partido Popular. In their last regional elections, which are held on different dates from the rest of Spain, the Socialists lost in both Catalonia and Galicia. In Catalonia last November they lost to Convergencia y Union, which had governed the region until the Socialists snatched victory from it in 2003 by forming an alliance with two small nationalist parties that favour independence from Spain. In March 2009, the Partido Popular took back Galicia which it had governed since the region became an autonomous community until the Socialists formed an alliance with the local nationalist party after the 2005 regional election.
T
he Socialists managed to oust the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) from power in the 2009 regional election there, but only by forming an alliance with the Partido Popular. But the authority of regional premier Patxi Lopez was seriously undermined when Zapatero promised PNV leader Iñigo Urkulli last year that the party that won the most votes in the next regional election would govern without having to form any alliances – in exchange for the PNV’s backing to get his budget through Parliament. If Zapatero had lost the vote on the budget he would have had to bring forward the general election,
he proliferation of political polls over the past few weeks demonstrates just how confused voters across Spain really are. For the first time since democracy was restored, Spaniards have rejected the ruling governing party in favour of the opposition but at the same time give the prime minister higher marks than the opposition leader. In other words, people are saying that they would prefer the Popular Party to win the next elections but would rather have Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero – even though they don’t agree with his policies – over current PP leader Mariano Rajoy. Make sense? Well, given the political climate we are now facing nothing really seems to be clear anymore.
currently slated for March 2012, so no doubt he thought that made it worth stabbing Lopez in the back.
F
rom the above, I think it’s fairly obvious that the Socialists in general and Zapatero in particular are willing to form alliances with the Devil himself to stay in power. So let’s hope for their sake that the Devil takes up residence in Andalucia to see them through the municipal elections.
I
f Coin (pop 22,000 or thereabouts) is anything to go by, they’ll need his help. Andalucia has been so solidly Socialist because it has always been the poorest region of Spain, after Extremadura. For centuries, the people of both regions suffered greatly at the hands of a small minority of powerful landowners, backed by the church, who hired the landless peasants only at harvest times and left them to starve for the rest of the year. So it’s no wonder that both regions fell under the spell of communism, anarchy and socialism at the end of the 19th century– and suffered greatly for it during and after the Civil War. However, the generation that has voted Socialist consistently in both regions since the end of the Franco dictatorship regime is dying out and most of those who remain live in the small inland pueblos, like Coin. Perhaps the older people here form part of that half million Socialists who plan to stay at home – because their political ideals won’t allow them to vote for anyone else. But here in Coín at least, the younger people are saying they want the Socialists out but whether they'll actually vote them out is another matter. The Socialists have been around a long time and like any group that's been in power for so long, they are owed a lot of favours by a lot of people. But, as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating so we'll have to wait until May 23rd to find which way the votes went.
he latest survey released on February 8th shows that the PP extended its lead over the Socialists by more than 10 percentage points. If the elections were held now, the PP would win with 44.1 per cent of the vote while Zapatero’s Socialists would get 34 per cent, according to the poll conducted by the state-run Centre for Sociological Research, or CIS. Previous surveys three months ago showed the PP winning with just less than 8 per cent over the Socialists. But when asked whether they preferred Zapatero over Rajoy, most Spaniards answered they had more trust in the prime minister, a tendency which to me reveals that PP members would vote for their party but may leave blank ballots when it comes to electing Rajoy.
prime minister last week told his parliamentary bloc, the PP is riding high on the polls and its members have lost touch with reality to the point that they have ignored the current agenda and forget that Spain is fighting to stay alive inside a quicksand pool of deficit.
T
he imbalance shown in the latest survey supports the long-held theory that the true poll is one that which is taken on election day. The general elections won’t be held until another year and a lot can happen within that time. People often change their minds on the same day they go to the ballot box. Then again there is the election phenomena that some voters, regardless of what party they belong to, don’t like belonging on the losing side. They will tick off the name that seems to be at the forefront regardless of whether they like him or not. Elections are strange devices with sometimes outlandish outcomes, but, of course, they strengthen our democracy. So maybe it is best we just don’t put too much faith in the polls but treat them instead as a form of entertainment as we struggle with the real issues in life.
D
irty capital
T
apatero and his Socialists have been punished by the economy and his package of policies, including the freezes in retirees’ pensions and government workers’ salaries, he introduced to try to solve the crisis. No doubt if Rajoy and his PP were in office the government would also resort to drastic but unpopular measures. But there is a difference between Zapatero and Rajoy and that is their personalities. The PP leader appears combative, arrogant, less willing to initiate dialogue and unclear about his economic policies. Next year will be his third attempt to try to become prime minister. While Zapatero also appears unsure of himself over his belt-tightening reforms, he has a much calmer demeanour almost to the point of bashfulness as if he were a young boy meekly handing in his homework. No doubt Spaniards want a confident leader at the head of their government, but not one who certainly appears to be in the race just for his or her own personal satisfaction.
he city of Madrid has found itself in a murky situation when scientists reported that that the Spanish capital had exceeded the European Union limits on air pollution. A dark brown haze can be seen hovering over the city as politicians on the ground battled it out to determine who was going to have to pay to clean up the air. Last year, Madrid exceeded the legal EU limit for pollution by having an annual average of 44 micrograms of suspended particles within less than 10 micrometres. The EU limit is 40. Because none of the politicians from the city backed Popular Party government could clean up their act, Madrid’s environmental chief Ana Botella called for a temporary moratorium on the EU guidelines. The City Council urged people to use public transportation and leave their autos at home, but few have responded. The airborne dirt has made it difficult for people to breathe, exercise or just walk outside their doors. Some politicians are calling for shock measures such as increased road tolls and restricted days for people to use their automobiles. Mayor Alberto RuizGallardón has promised to bring down pollution levels to EU standards by 2015.
M
H
Z
ore and more it appears that Zapatero may step aside and allow his very popular deputy prime minister Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba take over the Socialist reins and run against Rajoy. A Rubalcaba-led slate no doubt is a winning formula. But as the
owever, the city has gotten a reprieve this week as rain showers and wind appeared to have washed the air. Nevertheless, the pollution is set to return once the rains stop and the long dry summer season begins its approach.

Community New season success
written by Ann Ellis
Thespa opened the new season with the comedy “Poor Mr Pembleton” by Stuart Ready, which was ably directed by Peter Cadman. In scenes reminiscent of Ronnie Barker in Open All Hours, Mr Pembleton (Mike Lloyd) became the hapless victim of the schemings of Mrs Deborah King (Jean Fenton) as her confident performance saw off the opposition lady suitors. Mike’s portrayal of Mr Pembleton’s rapid transition from “Jack The Lad” to bumbling “thumbprint” suited the role well. These strong performances were ably
supported by members of his would-be harem played by Pat Blaker, Wendy Smith, Dee O’Sullivan and Eileen Cooper. The second play of the evening, “Two Wits To Woo” by John Kelly, was directed with great aplomb by Jean Fenton, greatly helped by three excellent performances. Ann Ellis (Lady Winsome) has to be admired for very adept handling of her two scheming employees; Michael Baker (James), and Jamie Stonhewer (Joseph) who have been milking the manor estate for years, Joseph selling off the vegetables grown in the
estate garden and James running a taxi service with Lady Winsome’s Rolls Royce. In order to save their jobs as the manor goes into bankrupcy, they hatch a plan that one of them should marry Lady Winsome and pool their illicit gains into the estate’s coffers. On the toss of a coin James has to do the proposing. Michael Baker and Ann Ellis were perfect foils for each other in a very funny scene. Jamie Stonehewer’s portrayal of Joseph was nothing short of excellent and the three together created a very pacy dialogue which kept everyone enthralled.

kind and in the most beautiful surroundings.

“THE NEWS”WANTS TO HEAR YOUR VIEWS Send letters to the editor as part of an e-mail text to editorial@thenewsonline.es
Mike B I felt like laughing when I read the front page of The News last week, the Spanish just do not have any idea about the damage they have done to possible property investments in this country because of their consistent shortsightedness in sorting the property problems out in this country. Housing Secretary Beatriz Corredor
Mandy Roberts Having read your front page article from this week’s edition of The News – the Spanish Government are trying to woo back British property buyers I had to bite back hysterical laughter. Based on the experience of myself and my husband and plenty of others who have been stung out here by the perfectly legal ´money making´ schemes of the Mijas Ayuntamiento our advice to anyone thinking of buying a property out here is ´don´t unless you have very deep pockets, which you will need to fund their taxes as and when they think them up! The story about our property purchase is a little complicated but I would urge you all to keep reading. We bought an apartment in 2006 for 270k and paid the 7% purchase tax on that property. Our lawyer, one of the good guys, advised us not to make any “under the counter payments” which would have reduced the overall purchase price as we were already under the ´Valor Catastral´ valuation. This is the town hall valuation of a property and on our apartment this was 277k. We were told that the Town Hall could, within 4 years, demand a further 7 per cent of the 7k difference – since they assume that the purchaser has paid the seller that money unofficially and they charge you the tax on that ‘assumed´ amount, so we put aside €490 in case. In March 2009, however, we received from the Patronato de Recaudacion Provincial, Diputacion Provincial de Malaga, a final demand for two payments totalling just under €4,000. This charge was the retrospective revaluation of our apartment by a Town Hall appointed architect, showing that the selling price should have been €324,000 euros. This meant, it stated, that we had avoided paying the 7 per cent purchase tax on this differential of €54,000, which we now had to pay, plus
By email states “trust in the system that we have and the transparency we provide”... that's a good one! Why would anyone trust in a system that is so obviously corrupt and totally ignorant to the interests of their citizens along with others who own property here, people who have invested here in the past and who are stitched up at
every opportunity by central government and local authorities, a system that helps no one except themselves? Spain seriously needs to learn compassion then replace its unhealthy natural greed with it, this is not just towards people caught in the property mess but in every aspect of modern life.
Mijas interest backdated to the date of purchase, even though this amount was NOT the real purchase price. The accompanying letter declared that, as we had not responded to previous notifications, we had lost our right to appeal against this tax, plus interest charged. We had never received any such notifications, and the only one we did get was, of course, the final demand without right of appeal. We took the documentation to our lawyer straight away as we were only given 14 days to pay the full amount and, if it was not paid, our bank account would be embargoed! It appears that the Notary, in front of whom all house purchases have to be made, carries no legal weight in these matters as all he does is sign at the end of the completion document " doy fe" which basically means " I believe that what these people are telling me is the truth". The fuctionario at the tax office in Fuengirola (civil servant) was singularly unhelpful and unpleasant, insisting that we had to pay or face further fines etc and he refused to let me take the file away from the office. It was only with the assistance of our lawyer that we were finally allowed to see the documents that we were supposed to have received. Even the addresses on them differed and yet they must have known where we lived since all this was as a result of the purchase of our apartment! We were, therefore, able to show incorrect delivery so we were now able to exercise our right of appeal. We had to hire an architect at a cost of €600, who repeated the process of retrospective revaluation, arriving at a figure of €285,000. This was still higher than we actually had paid but, even so, we were advised to increase this to €296,000 as the lower figure would not have been accepted and a third architect would have then
been called upon to give a third valuation. This third valuation would have been binding and would almost certainly have been higher than €296,000, so we agreed. This was accepted and after about 3 months we got back a little over €1,800. Legal fees plus the architect's fees had cost us €1,600. We were, and still are, absolutely staggered that a member country of the European Union is allowed to behave in this manner, which is tantamount to legalised theft. This is happening to lots of unsuspecting people and applies as much to business property as to residential property sales. Never has the phrase ´buyer beware´ been more applicable. To anyone considering buying a property out here our advice is don´t unless you are fully prepared for a future additional tax bill (amount to be determined by your local town hall!) which can be imposed within 4 years of the original purchase. Those involved in the buying and selling of property may not even be aware that this practice goes on, but we want to let as many people as possible know, especially with the recent drop in property values, that if you buy a bargain it may not turn out to be such a bargain after all! Remember, whatever you pay for a property the town hall have the power to retrospectively re-value that property within the next 4 years to what they consider you ´should´ have paid for it and they can then tax you 7 per cent of the difference. In a way we consider ourselves lucky that we suffered a relatively ´small´ additional tax, we know of other examples where properties have been retrospectively re-valued by hundreds of thousands of euros, resulting in 20k plus tax bills! Buy property in Spain? Never again!

Giant Full Moon Make sure that you go outside and have a look at the Full Moon this Friday night (Feb 18th). It will appear huge!
The Moon does not go around the Earth in a perfect circle, instead its orbit is oval or ellipse shaped. So sometimes the Moon comes closer to the Earth and other times it is further away. This close point is called the perigee and the distant point is called the apogee. This week we are in for a real treat. The full Moon will be at its absolute closest to the Earth at a mere 221,676 miles as compared to 252,693 miles at its most distant or apogee to us. That is almost 30,000 miles closer and should make the Moon appear 1/3rd bigger in the sky than normal. If you can get to see the Moon when it is just rising and is very low down on the horizon then it will appear even bigger. This is just an illusion and has baffled scientists for years as to why this happens. Some believe it is because there are other objects such as trees and buildings to compare it against when it is low down, but using accurate measuring equipment it has been proven that it is just an illusion and that the Moon stays the same size throughout the night. Because the Moon is such a familiar object in the sky we sometimes forget that what we see is really another world. Its face has become so well known to us but, without stating the obvious, the Moon is not a flat disc but a round ball that constantly keeps its same side pointed towards us. If you were to see the Moon from a different angle then it appears completely
different. People talk about the ‘dark side of the Moon’, there isn’t a dark side, and they are referring to the far side, the side that we never see. The reason that we only ever see the same side is because the Moon is spinning but it spins so slowly (once in 29 days) which is exactly the same length of time that it takes to orbit the Earth so it is held in a geosynchronous orbit. Imagine it like this; the Earth and you are at the centre of a child’s roundabout and the Moon is on the outside edge of the roundabout. As the roundabout turns then the Moon will always keep the same face pointed to you although from the Moon’s point of view it gets to see all around the playground as it goes around. Now if the Sun is in the distance, say over by the swings, then as the Moon goes around the Earth then the light coming from the Sun (the swings) will sometimes be shining on the face of the Moon and at other times it will be shining on the backside of the Moon. The different phases that the Moon goes through during its orbit around the Earth are caused by different parts of it being lit by the Sun. When the Moon is between us and the Sun then the far side of the Moon is lit and our side is in darkness, but as it makes its way around us so that it is now on the opposite side of the sun to us then the whole of its face is lit up and we see a full Moon.

Blue skies over the snow-capped Maroma Wonderful variety on this superb Axarquia walk.
Written by Gary Dearden
Now the sun is making its appearance it’s time to brush off the winter cobwebs, get out the walking shoes and head out into the countryside for the first in this year’s occasional series of walks.
C
anillas de Albaida – about 19km from Salida 277 on the A7 motorway – must be one of the best-kept and prettiest of the Axarquia’s white villages. The lovely drive from the coast passes through Algarrobo, Sayalonga and Competa before reaching Canillas – and at this time of year, the snow-capped peak of La Maroma provides a magnificent backdrop. If you have time, stop at the Jarel Bodega, 1km after Competa, to taste or buy some excellent local wines – their sweet muscatel is a superb dessert choice!
T
he walk starts from the car park, next to the Collegio Rural, on the outskirts of the village. Go downhill from the miniroundabout, passing the farmacia on the left and the supermarket on the right. At the sign for ‘Finca el Cerrillo’, turn left and pass the municipal pool as you drop steeply downhill. The photogenic San Anton chapel is on the left and, 50m or so after, turn right at a 3-way
junction and, keeping the gorge on your left, follow the tarmac road 200m down to the river.
A
s you descend, a wellpreserved Roman bridge on the left is worth a quick look, but use the road bridge to cross the Turvilla river and then immediately turn right towards a wide, gravelled area in front of a lovely converted mill. Don’t climb the concrete track, but keep the Cajula river on your right and follow its course on a distinct path, with several sets of stepping stones crisscrossing the flow as you head upstream. Fullyladen orange and lemon trees, mimosa and oleander bushes line the way, making for a delightfully colourful trek – and the fruit tasted delicious!
P
ass a small farm building on the left, then cross again and the now stony path rises below a rock overhang before descending to more stepping stones. After crossing twice more,
the path climbs steeply between two wire fences to a clearing in an avocado grove a few metres below a white farmhouse – this is a good first rest stop.
A
few metres above the clearing, a small sign for ‘Camino del Rio’ points off to the right where the path winds its way first through more avocados, followed by beautifully scented wild rosemary and thyme, on an undulating course just above the river. This section is really pleasant and open with lovely views up and down the valley. Eventually the path descends back down to the river and more stepping stones.
O
nce across, the undergrowth thickens but the path remains clear until emerging at yet another crossing from where it again climbs sharply up to pass close to a rustic farm building - be sure to check out the great views from here back down the valley.
P
ass the house on its right hand side, and continue the climb as the path meanders up the side of the valley. On a hilltop opposite you will notice a new building, which you will pass on the latter part of the walk.
H
eading off to the right, the path crosses a watercourse then turns right again and uphill through an area of abandoned terracing, towards another farm which soon comes into view. NOTE: the new owner has blocked the main path through the old premises, so you need to find a way around and to the left of the buildings as you head up to find a very distinct, wide dirt track running behind the farm. There were three dogs in residence when we passed and although they appeared curious – perhaps because we had our dog on a lead – they were passive enough. Just take reasonable care at this point.
W
ith the farm behind you, turn right on
the dirt track and continue walking for 1km or so. Just after the new building you saw earlier, the track bears sharp left and downhill towards some more houses at the head of the river valley. It is lined here with almond and orange trees – which were spectacular when we passed – and after a few minutes, winds down to a tired, concrete bridge to cross over a narrow stream.
H
ead uphill again towards a house with a row of pine trees, then down to another river – with badly eroded banks – where you cross with care to the right side, passing a row of poplar trees as you head uphill again on the main track, having ignored a sharp right branch turning down to the river.
steps, watch for a cairn marking a lovely stonecobbled path heading off to the right as it winds steeply down to the river. The views back to Canillas are wonderful and, as you descend, you can easily pick out your final ascent on the opposite side of the valley.
T
he last river crossing is via an old stone bridge, before you turn right onto a well-trodden path to climb out of the valley. At the top, the path becomes a tarmac side road, passing just below the village cemetery. After 100m, turn left into the first street, carry on to the end of the road – passing some shops but maybe not all of the bars – to make your way up the hill, through the village centre and back to the car park. Distance – 11km
A
fter passing a few scattered houses above and below, the track swings left near a branch path to the right. Again, ignore this route – it is chained off anyway – and, after just a few dozen
Grade – medium; easy way-finding, with some steep climbs. Time – 3.5 to 4 hours.

Hereafter
Kids can be so cruel
BY CLINT EASTWOOD
By Amy Thomas
Starring Matt Damon, Cecile de France email: editorial@thenewsonline.es
Three people from different parts of the world,from completely different walks of life, have one thing in common – they are haunted by mortality and the need to find answers where none may exist. Director Eastwood sets the scene with a breath taking opening sequence in which French journalist Marie Lelay (de France) and her boyfriend find their Asian idyll of a holiday turning into a nightmare as the Boxing Day tsunami sweeps all before it, and takes the life of her lover, leaving her haunted by the images of
his death. In London, 12year-old schoolboy Marcus mourns the loss of his twin brother in a road accident and is seeking a way to reconnect with the closest person to him. And in San Francisco George Lonegan (Damon) has a special connection with the afterlife and is troubled by his brother’s exploitation of his psychic gift – a gift he
wants to block out so that he can lead a normal life. In Babel and Crash fashion these disconnected stories set half a world apart find themselves linked together. It’s a thought provoking premise, and with Eastwood at the helm, and with a screenplay by Peter Morgan (The Queen) the movie has managed to split the critics. Last year’s
The Lovely Bones took a bit of stick for the way it painted the afterlife, and Hereafter has come in for some mixed reviews. But Eastwood is as spare and unsentimental as ever, and while it may not hit the heights of movies like Gran Torino, he is always a powerful director. So maybe one to make up your own mind about.
MOVIE NEWS
A triumphant Bafta night It’s official –The King’s Speech is the biggest grossing British independent movie ever and it’s still pulling in a million a day at the UK box office. Oh, and in case you have not noticed, it swept all before it at the Baftas on Sunday. Not only that, it picked up the Spanish ‘Oscar’ at Sunday’s Goya awards for best European movie. So, all is looking promising for the Oscars kater this month. The movie picked up seven out of its 14 nominations – Colin Firth, as predicted, took best actor for his role as the stuttering monarch. It was good to see Helena Bonham Carter, as Queen Elizabeth, and Geoffrey Rush as the speech therapist, win the best
supporting actor gongs Helena Bonham Carter’s acceptance speech rambled a bit, but as she said, she won’t be winning an Oscar so it was the night to make the most of it. The movie also picked up best picture, best British picture, best screenplay and best original music. Host Jonathan Ross joked that the audience at London’s Royal Opera House should just keep clapping while a succession of cast and others from the movie took to the stage to pick up the awards. The one big omission was director Tom Hooper - the award for best director went to David Fincher for the Social Network, and that’s likely to be replicated on Oscar night. Both it and Inception were the other big winners as they picked up technical
awards, and Black Swan’s Natalie Portman will have her best actress gong sent to her – the pregnant actress was not able to fly to London for the event. Stephen Fry presented the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award to the Harry Potter series – the biggest grossing, most successful franchise ever, and the audience gave veteran actor Sir Christopher Lee a standing ovation as he received his Fellowship of the Academy.

W
hen it comes to classic horror films set at summer camp the first movie that comes to mind is “Friday the 13th”, but I think I found a movie that could knock “Friday the 13th” off its podium. A strange thing occurred this week, which drew my attention to a horror serial I had not seen before (which is strange indeed) – hence I spent all week watching all four “bloody” parts.
T
he 1983 “Sleepaway Camp” is just like every other campus horror, the first part is the best and more or less from the beginning you know (or have an idea) who the killer is and who will get slashed first and who might survive. However, that said, this one has a twist – one so good that even I didn’t see it coming. After a horrible boating accident kills her family, Angela, a shy and sullen young girl, moves in with her eccentric aunt Martha, who one summer sends Angela and her protective cousin Ricky to Camp Arawak. Soon after their arrival, a series of bizarre and increasingly violent accidents begin to claim the lives of their fellow campers.
T
he 80s was a great time for horror movies, but not for fashion – some of the shirts the guys are wearing are a tad queer to say the least. One of the things I liked the most about this movie was that most of the characters were plausible, and it was nice for a change that the killer didn’t hide all the bodies, like most campus movies. The final scene will probably leave you speechless, as it did me WOW!
T
he sequel “Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy
Campers” didn’t have the mystique of the first, this is probably due to the fact that you now already know who the killer is. It moves away from the horror/suspense genre to a comedy gore fest, to which if you are not a good girl or boy with honourable intentions – well, you’re dead. There are a few quirky moments, but again it slides too closely to comedy for my liking. The only thing that saves “Sleepaway Camp 3: Teenage Wastland” is that the killer is played by the same person, there’s nothing original in this one, except the ways of picking off your victims – and Michael J Pollard, shame on you.
B
y this time you can imagine I was pretty sick of watching this series, as nothing could top the first part. However, I am a trooper and trooped right through the final part “Return to Sleepaway Camp”, which, surprisingly, wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated. The main kid Alan, is awful but the worst thing is you know this kid, he’s obnoxious, rude, irritating and disturbingly familiar. So, when the other kids make fun of him, you kind of enjoy it and if Alan wasn’t trouble enough, there’s a killer on the loose or is there? The great thing about this final part is you get to see Angela, Ricky and Ronnie (the guy with the clip board and short shorts, and yes he’s still wearing them), reprising their original roles 25 years later.
I
f you don’t want to watch all four parts it is quite understandable, however I do highly recommend watching the first part – it makes Jason look like a mamma’s boy!

It doesn’t matter what is going on in or around you or how hard life may seem in a certain area of your life, the truth remains that Jupiter, our most benevolent benefactor, is in your sign and he is in it with his might and mercy. You have from now until the end of May to launch your deal - this brand new cycle that you are in enables you to influence the world, to attract to you all that you need. Lady Luck has arrived so the question is “what do I really want”? One step at a time - the right kind of permanent change does not occur overnight. Sure, sudden unforeseen events can alter something in the blink of an eye, but then everyone is left to integrate all that has occurred. You are looking far into the future, working now to create something solid, yet something totally brand new. This week as Mercury and Saturn connect innovatively in your house of efforts, you find a solution to an age old problem, allowing an enormous weight to be lifted. The mind is powerful. Your ruling planet Mercury rules the mind, as well as thoughts and all forms of communication. Currently Mercury is in rocket scientist Aquarius, indicating that your thoughts may be firing with far more speed than usual. Not only may they be keeping you up at night but also tact’may not be a virtue of yours right now. Speed is on your side, solutions to age old problems are easy to sort – revelations are not uncommon. Results take time to manifest and it may be a while before your efforts are obvious. True change starts from the cells and reverberates like a ripple effect throughout your total being. The validation you have been seeking is coming. You will find and feel the evidence of your energetic output and be shown that. at least in one key area, you were not only right on track but blazing a new trail of powerful significance. You are soon to experience a real and lasting reason to celebrate. Does winning or even being right really matter? A necessary humbling, for whatever reason, is in process now for you. Leo, and it will be far better for you to retreat than to jump in with both barrels blazing to prove a point. Putting some space in between what angers you or pushes your buttons is the best thing you could do to manage the inner angst. Your greatest strength is in your capacity to love no matter what, to shine even when it rains and to open your heart even when someone has a lock on theirs. It is your chance to participate in re-writing some of the rules in the game of life. This includes the rules surrounding how you spend your time and where you put your energy and focus. You are craving more adventure and spontaneity as you feel plugged into that universal current of life, charged up and ready to go. Make some room in your life to elevate your gain, know what you want and don’t be afraid to grab it with both hands.
LIBRA
As light as you would love life to be, it is far from that now as your ruler, Venus, crosses over intense Pluto. It will be impossible to keep things on the surface as far deeper things are requiring you to dive to some deeper dimensions of being. New chapters are being written and as this transition is taking place, even those things that used to assist in taking the edge off are not working September 23rd - their magic. This is no side stepping time, every moment matters and every October 22nd choice counts.
SCORPIO

October 23 November 21st
The thing to bear in mind, Scorpio, is that miracles, although few and far between, do happen. Everywhere you look, in one way or another, there will always be a story that leads to that “life isn’t fair” feeling. It can be challenging to accept certain things but there is a great deal more going on than meets the eye. A silver lining to a dark cloud will show itself and help you see the blessing in the barricade. A private wish or prayer is to be answered.
SAGITTARIUS Following those inner rhythms without any outside influences interrupting your flow is what you do well. That is what is being asked of you now - to lay down your arms and give up your defences, to go with the flow. It means following your instinct, that fire in your belly that seems to know where it is going. Simply remember to be true to yourself and express the way you really feel this week November 22nd - and the world will respond in full, the effects will be immediate. December 21st
CAPRICORN There is a sweet smell in the air because Venus, the planet of loving relief, is on your side this week. Things may have been feeling particularly intense and you may have been forced to confront what you must - resulting in a progressive elimination of all that does not support your best and highest self. Now you welcome a reprieve. There is nothing like a full-blown release of the weight of nd December 22 responsibility you have been carrying. This is sure to lift your spirits. January 19th

Warrior Mars is still in your sign giving you that kind of consistent energy blast that makes you feel you are competing against something even if you are sat on the sofa. It can be next to impossible to relax but then again, maybe it means you are not supposed to, if there is something that needs initiating then you have the green light. There will be plenty of time for relaxation in the coming weeks. There is adventure in the air so prepare to expand your vision. We all know what a great listener you are and this trait will be put to the test when a friend in need finds your door. Those famous words, “I feel your pain”, could not ring more true and must have been written by you. There is something about sharing stories that helps us all to not feel so alone in the world. There are certain victories in your life at the moment but they don’t give you the thrill you might desire because you kind of knew it all along what you do have, though, is an inner tranquillity.
New Iceland opens TODAY! At last, today, February 16th sees the opening of ICELAND’s newest branch - and in the lovely location of Puerto Banus. Hundreds of thousands of mums all over Spain, from Tenerife to Benidorm, have discovered how vital ICELAND is to their weekly shop and budget and have nothing but praise for the stores, which are dotted along the Costas and in the Canary Islands and always in the handiest of locations.

Kate is keen on Posh’s frocks well, it’s definitely Victoria beckham’s year. not only is she expecting her fourth child, the former Posh spice, who has won plaudits from the fashion world she now works in, is to send a selection of dresses from her collection to royal bride-to-be Kate Middleton. Kate has shown a lot of interest in Victoria’s dresses and thinks they would be just the ticket for formal and evening engagements. Victoria unveiled her autumn/winter collection (picture above) at New York Fashion Week last weekend, and said that she would be sending items from her current spring/summer collection to Kate.
“It’s tremendously exciting and I would be honoured if she were to wear my designs. I admire her tremendously. She’s a beautiful young girl and she wears clothes beautifully,” said the former Spice Girl, whose fashion range has been a huge hit with Hollywood stars. She won’t be in the frame to design the wedding dress. There has still not been an
announcement yet, although Bruce Oldfield is the hot tip. But Posh and Becks are more than likely to see Kate in her wedding outfit. David and Prince William have become friends so its likely the Beckhams will get a coveted invitation to the big day on April 29th.

Sweet protection against Parkinson's People who eat foods rich in antioxidants called flavonoids, especially berries, may be protecting themselves from developing Parkinson's disease, according to a new study. Flavonoids are found in a variety of foods such as apples, chocolate, and citrus fruits, as well as berries, but not all of them are created equal. Only those known as anthocyanins, found in berries and other red/purplish fruits and vegetables, protected both men and women. For the study, Harvard Medical School researchers collected data on over 49,000 men who took part in the Health Professionals Follow-up
Study and more than 80,000 women from the Nurses' Health Study. Using information gleaned from detailed questionnaires about their diets, the researchers calculated the amount of flavonoids people consumed. In addition, they also looked at the consumption of tea, berries, apples, red wine and oranges and orange juice. Over 22 years of followup, they found that of the men, those who
consumed the most flavonoids were 40 per cent less likely to develop the neurodegenerative illness compared with men who consumed the least amount of flavonoids. However, among the women, there wasn't any relationship between total flavonoid intake and the risk of developing Parkinson's. On the other hand, the subset of flavonoids known as anthocyanins - found in berries - were associated with a lower risk of
Parkinson's in both men and women. While the cause of Parkinson's disease isn't known, it appears to have both a genetic and an environmental component, the researchers said, adding that if someone is genetically predisposed to the disease and is also exposed to an environmental trigger, the difference between developing Parkinson's or not could potentially depend on the amount of flavonoids in the diet.

New drug better than aspirin German researchers have found a new drug to be "vastly superior" to aspirin at reducing the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). AF is one of the most common heart rhythm problems and its most common symptom is a fast and irregular heartbeat. Although AF patients are at a higher risk of stroke, as many as 50 per cent of patients are unsuitable for treatment using vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin, which help prevent the formation of blood clots. Until now, the only alternative treatment has been aspirin. However, in a clinical trial involving 5,600 AF patients researchers from the Department of Neurology and Stroke Centre, University Hospital Essen found that the new drug – called apixaban – lowered the risk of suffering a stroke by 3.6 per cent in a year, compared with aspirin which reduced the risk by
just 1.6 per cent. They said the drug – which works by blocking factor Xa, a crucial step in blood clot formation - also works better in people with a history of stroke or ministroke. The researchers said they had not anticipated that apixaban would show such a big difference compared with aspirin while showing no significant increase in major bleeds. They added if their findings were validated by future studies, they believed it would be the end of aspirin as a drug to prevent stroke in patients with AF.

Matt Roberts heads MotoGP line-up Matt Roberts will head the BBC's coverage of the MotoGP World Championship in 2011 after being named as the replacement for Jennie Gow. Roberts had been in line for the role having established himself as the BBC's pit-lane reporter, the 33-year-old stepping up to the role of presenter for 2011. He takes the position of Gow, who will not return for a second year having replaced Suzi Perry at the start of the 2010 season. Roberts had previously shared presenting duties with Perry in 2009.
Blood of a Pope for Kubika Free ‘stop gap’ Polish church leaders hope that a drop of blood belonging to the late Pope John Paul II may help Robert Kubica return to Formula One before the end of the season.

The Renault driver, who almost had to have his right hand amputated after suffering multiple fractures in a rally accident last
Due to the huge demand for its Juke, Qashqai and Qashqai+2 models, Nissan has taken an innovative step to ensure its customers can be mobile, while waiting for their new Nissan to arrive.
With Kubica now out of intensive care and professing an “insane urge” to get back on track, Poland’s Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz has sent him a medallion containing a fragment of a liturgical robe worn by John Paul II and a drop of his blood. “John Paul II was a sportsman himself, he loved sport as a young man,” Dziwisz told Polish television. However, some observers believe the church may be trying to hijack Kubica’s
predicament for their own ends. Pope John Paul II is due to be beatified on May 1st, a crucial step on the road to sainthood, a process which requires the proof of miracles. Previously, after his spectacular accident in Montreal in 2007, Kubica distanced himself from reports that his survival was a miracle in the John Paul II beatification process. “I know nothing about this,” he said at the time. “I don’t know by whom I was saved.”
Mazda tops automotive sector of latest CSI survey – for third time Mazda’s score of 83.3% satisfaction is 4.9% points above the automotive average Mazda has once again emerged as the nation’s
best car company for ‘customer satisfaction’ with

Drink drive samples on ice UK police investigating drink driving have been told to refrigerate all samples from suspects after forensic scientists being axed in spending cuts withdrew their services.Forces across the country have been told that the Forensic Science Service (FSS) has stopped processing motoring cases as of yesterday.
All blood and urine
taken from drivers will have to be temporarily stored until the problem is solved. This means that cases where motorists choose a blood test, are unable to give a breath test or can’t be checked due to faulty equipment will be at risk. Officials are frantically trying to make new arrangements but have warned it could take at least seven days and urged forces not to seek alternative testing. Details of the problem surfaced in a leaked memo from the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) which said the FSS had stopped carrying out any testing under the Road
Traffic Act. Addressed to chief constables nationwide, it said: “We appreciate the challenges and difficulties that this change may cause your force. “However, we would ask that you continue to work with us whilst we resolve this issue.” Plans to axe the FSS, which runs at a loss, were announced by the Coalition Government last December, provoking anger from police and victims of crime. It will be finally wound up next month.

Customers ordering a new Juke will be offered use of a Micra, while Qashqai and Qashqai+2 buyers will be offered the use of a Note, completely free of charge. Even insurance cover is included, subject to normal terms and conditions. Paul Willcox, managing director of Nissan Motor (GB), said: “Juke and Qashqai models
are in huge demand at the moment and it became apparent that the long lead times were inconveniencing some customers. To demonstrate our customer commitment we have developed this new, industry-leading scheme.” Both the Juke (pictured below) and Qashqai were designed, engineered and built in Britain. Nissan’s Sunderland factory is currently working at full capacity to keep up with demand from across Europe. Any customer who has already placed an order will also be eligible to request a loan car through their supplying dealer, providing the remaining waiting time exceeds three months. The first customers will receive loan cars on February 24th.

Quiros hole-in-one lands him the Dubai crown The big-hitting Spaniard aced the 161-yard 11th with a "three-quarter wedge", but still had it all to do when he trailed Dane Anders Hansen by a stroke as the players entered the closing stretch of holes. Spain’s Alvaro Quiros had the biggest win of his career so far, as he hit a hole-inone to win the Dubai Desert Classic on Sunday. The Spaniard, born in Guadiaro in the province of Cadiz, aced the par-three 11th, and that only three holes after he had triplebogied the par 4 eighth hole. He finished the day just ahead of Anders Hansen and James Kingston. Joint overnight leader Rory McIlroy had his hopes dashed after three successive bogeys, ending the day with a 74, with world number one Lee Westwood just one shot further back, and a double bogey on 18 also saw Tiger Woods slip further down the leader board. A 12-foot birdie putt at the 16th
wedge on the 11th - it was a perfect shot - once a year it happens." Lee Westwood finished with a level par 72 after dropping three shots in his final two holes but the Englishman still remains World No1 because Martin Kaymer finished behind the leading contenders in 31st Place.
before two pars enabled Quiros to clinch his fifth European Tour title after Hansen was unable to respond after suffering a bogey on the short 15th. Quiros’s final round of 68 was certainly one of the most bizarre tournamentwinning rounds to date.
As well as the incredible hole in one, the Spaniard also carded an eagle at the 351-yard, par-four second, four birdies, a bogey, plus the triple bogey seven at the 459-yard eighth when he lost his ball up a palm tree. This memorable tournament was a huge
victory for Quiros who earned himself 301,353 euros (£255,127). "The start was perfect with the eagle on two, but I was shaken after the eighth," said the 28-yearold. “I was lucky with some putts around the turn and then a three-quarters
Tiger Woods, who has been without a victory for almost 15 months, was only two shots back with seven to play, but along with his three birdies, his final-round card was littered with bogeys – four in total – as well as that double bogey on the 18th. Woods, who has been searching for a win since the Australian Masters in November 2009, finished down in 20th place.
"There were quite a few positives this week but a couple of glaring examples of what I need to work on," the American said. He then went on to complain that his game was gone with the wind. "It's like anything. All my old feels (for the clubs) are out the window when the winds blow. That's the thing when you are making change. It's fine when the wind is not blowing. But when you have to hit a shot when the wind blows...the new swing patterns get exposed." Well, you have heard the old saying if the wind changes you will stay like that – let’s hope that’s not the case for Tiger Woods! Report by Claire Voet

Exciting play at Mijas Bowls club competition Mijas Bowls Club held their yearly internal competition over ten days at the beginning of February. Many members entered, and both players and spectators enjoyed this year’s lovely sunny weather. The Drawn Triples final was between Brian Attwood, Frank Richardson and Geraldine Robinson against Roberto Wright, Dine Warn and Lilly Garden. It was a close game, Brian’s team winning by one wood on the final end. The Drawn Pair’s final between Geraldine Robinson and Roy Graveling against Kevin Bloe and John Fenton with Kevin and John emerging the victors. The Handicap Singles final between Geraldine Robinson and Jim Taylor was a well contested game, with Jim coming through to win. The Men’s championship final saw Franco Tinelli play Don Smith, with Don coming out on top and he will represent Mijas at the champion of champions in April. The Ladies final was between Geraldine Robinson, (this was Geraldine’s 16th game in 10 consecutive days, as she
earlier was a winner in the drawn triples and a runner up in the drawn pairs), and her opponent Juanita Case (who was born in Spain and plays her summer bowling in Stratford-onAvon). After a slow start Geraldine took the early initiative, to score 13 – 3, then Juanita started to come forward by winning four of the next five ends. On the 17th end she picked up 3 to bring the score to 15—10. Spectators could now sense the game entering an exciting final. The quality of bowling grew to a higher level. Both ladies treated the spectators to a feast of quality bowling. At the 25th end the scores were level at 19. Geraldine took the 26th by a single shot and Juanita took the next end and game with two shots. We congratulate Juanita on her victory; she now goes through to represent Mijas in April at the champion of champions. We also congratulate Geraldine who has had a wonderful tournament and who is established as one of the Costa del Sol’s finest lady bowlers. Report By: Sheila Graveling

C.O.G.S: latest news from the fairways of the Costa del Sol The Coin Open Golf Society’s second outing of the year was again well attended in the glorious sunshine The second outing of our 5th season was held at Santa Maria last Saturday and the course was in excellent condition as always. Thirty members made the trip and the weather conditions were perfect. Heading the charge was Captain Nig Bowler in a two ball and because of his straight long hitting, accuracy to greens and as always, only one putt, it was a speedy round by all. The spot prizes for the day were divided as follows: The nearest to the pin was won by Chris Spoakes. The nearest to the pin in two shots was won by Ian
Robinson and the longest drive was won by Ian ‘Norris’ Holden. There were no team prizes this time out but the top three in the individual competition were as follows. 1st: Russell Wood 34 pts (on count back on the back nine); 2nd: Dave Williams 34pts; 3rd: Sav Ramayon 33pts. Thanks again to Ian and the staff at Leslies’ Bistro for the food on our arrival back to the bar and to all the members who turned up for our second outing.

Hammers to be new stadium tenants The decision was unanimous. Spurs' plan would involve knocking down the stadium and building a new one. The club intended to pay for an expansion of the athletics facility in Crystal Palace, rather than keeping a legacy for the sport in Stratford. West Ham's plan, by contrast, will keep athletics in east London and leave the running track untouched. Interesting fact-West Ham United is an anagram of The New Stadium

Malaga came into this game having picked up justTheoneNew point from their last four fixtures and needed aStadium victory Horse deaths shock to move off the bottom of the table. After an extremely lacklustre start against Getafe things went from bad to worse. Some comical defending by Malaga and a shot from Colunga resulted in Malaga's keeper Arnau punching the ball onto Miku's head and deflecting it into the back of his net after just 8 minutes. Things soon got even worse for Malaga, and again it was Getafe’s Colunga running on to a deep pass to beat Arnau who this time was slow off his line - with a neat lob, 2 nil down after 24 minutes and the crowd were on Malaga's backs. Baptista almost hit back
immediately, but saw his angled shot drift just wide. He also forced Getafe keeper Ustari into a good save later in the half. With nothing going right for the home side Pellegrini changed things around at half time, bringing on Fernandez and youngster Portillo. This had an immediate effect with Malaga looking much more effective in all areas. But with Getafe looking like they would hold on for all three points, the game suddenly turned in Malaga’s favour when Marcano handled in the box, to give Malaga a lifeline with 10 minutes to go.

Baptista stepped up and put the penalty into the back of the net. Malaga kept pushing forward, Rondon missed an easy volley but redeemed himself when in the 4th minute of added on time he scrambled in from close range to send the Rosaleda into delirium. Manuel Pellegrini's men will have been happy to scrape a point in the circumstances, but it still leaves Malaga rooted to the bottom of La Liga.

at Newbury races Horses are far more sensitive to electricity than humans, and wet ground conditions may have contributed to the fatal accident. An investigation has been launched after Fenix Two and Marching Song died in the paddock - while Kid Cassidy was withdrawn after stumbling. The horses' trainers have suggested they may have had an electric shock. "Kid Cassidy was extremely lucky as he definitely got the effect," his trainer Nicky Henderson told BBC Radio 5 Live. "It was something that none of us have ever seen before and we hope never to see again. Kid

Cassidy was just walking round and went over on to the grass and knuckled over for a second. It does appear it was to do with electricity and underground cables and obviously nobody knew it was there." On Saturday, a racecourse spokeswoman confirmed a cable, thought to be dormant, had been found under the paddock although she added: "We cannot confirm if that definitely was the reason for the incident."
Can England improve ? Martin Johnson thinks so Martin Johnson has warned England they must improve if they are to beat defending Six Nations champions France at Twickenham in their next match. England ran in eight tries to defeat Italy 59-13 on Saturday and record their second win of the Championship. But England manager Johnson said: "Do we have to do better in two weeks? Yes, of course we do. A lot, lot better. "We have to control the ball better; we won't get the opportunities (against France) to score the tries we did."

Woods sorry for spitting in Dubai Tiger Woods is to be fined for spitting during the Dubai Desert Classic and apologised for the incident. "It was inconsiderate to spit like that and I know better. I just wasn't thinking and want to say I'm sorry," Woods wrote on his Twitter account. "Tournament director Mike Stewart has reviewed the incident and feels there has been a breach of the tour code of conduct and consequently Tiger Woods will be fined," the European Tour said in a statement.
