Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi had earlier dismissed reports that he had fled amid the unrest sweeping the country. Speaking to state TV from outside a ruined building, he said: "I am in Tripoli and not in Venezuela," after rumours that he had flown to Caracas.

WORLD Bowl me over...
By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
Over 20 years ago I inherited a set of wood lawn bowls from my grandfather and they have been sitting in our garage ever since. On Saturday we had the opportunity of going along to lauro Bowling club to try the game for ourselves. Arriving at 10.30am we met Alan and Margaret Bicknell who are members of the club and people we first met some 14 years ago. I paired with Margaret and my husband joined Alan on the neighbouring “rink” to start learning. So, what could be so hard about getting the big balls at this end to sit next to the little ball at the other end? Hah! How wrong can you get? I found that after ten minutes I was thinking of nothing other than which way Grandad´s bowls were going to go, and was I going to stay on our bit of the playing area, let alone hit the white ball! We spent two and a half hours of gentle , relaxing fun, (although you use muscles you never knew you had before, ouch!) and were beginning to get the hang of it. We shall definitely be going again. For anyone who feels like they might like to get involved and have a go at this great sport, call Ken Talbot on 952 963 161 or 663 553 483. We went to renew our residencias last week. non-Eu citizens get proper photo Ids but Eu people don't.

In other developments:
However, unlike other countries that have seen protests, Morocco has a successful economy, an elected parliament and a reformist monarchy, making it less vulnerable to a major uprising.
MOROCCO: Five burned bodies have been found in a bank in the northern town of al-Hoceima which was set on fire following anti-government protests in Morocco on Sunday. The protesters demanded that King Mohammed VI give up some of his power.
Egypt's ruling military council has sent reinforcements to the main border crossing, the Salum passage, following a withdrawal by Libyan border guards.Thousands of Egyptian nationals have been trying to get back home since the protests began almost a week ago.

China has urged Libya to guarantee the safety of its citizens after reports that hundreds of Chinese construction workers in Ajdabiya had fled from an armed attack.

● Three Turkish ships have been sent to Benghazi to evacuate about 3,000 nationals. A thousand have already been airlifted to safety. ● Italy is to send three C130 air force planes to evacuate its citizens.

The remainder have been advised to take commercial flights, but British Airways and BMI cancelled all flights on Tuesday.. A Royal Navy frigate has been deployed and a plane chartered to aid British nationals. ● Oil company Royal Dutch Shell says all its expatriate staff have been "temporarily relocated". Italy's Eni and France's Total are also evacuating staff.

MADRID
Controllers told to perfect English
The UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) is launching another Operation Captura – this time in Alicante - targeting UK criminals thought to be hiding in Spain. Tip-offs received after past Operation Captura campaigns led to the capture of 38 out of 50 fugitives who were returned to the UK to face trial or resume jail sentences - a 76 per cent success rate. This campaign features Anthony Fraser, grandson of exLondon gangster "Mad" Frankie Fraser, who is wanted for questioning in connection with a plot in 2009 to smuggle cannabis hidden inside a lorry consignment of frozen chickens into the UK. The other nine names will be revealed later at the official launch event. They include a man wanted to complete a 25-year jail sentence, two suspected murderers, several drug dealers and a man facing child sex charges. Operation Captura was first launched in 2006 and is generally considered to be the UK's, if not the world's, most successful
campaign to target fugitives abroad. Crimestoppers' operations director Dave Cording said past campaigns turned up 600 pieces of information from ex-pats living in Spain. He said not one of them had tried to claim a reward. Crimerstoppers' phones at the call centre in the UK are staffed 24 hours a day, and interpreters are on hand to assist with any Spanish callers. The tip-offs received are relayed via Soca to the Spanish police in Madrid, who then notify local snatch teams known as "Greco" units. If a suspect is positively identified, he/she is arrested and after appearing in court in Spain, is returned to the UK. Extraditions that used to take years of legal wrangling are now rubber-stamped in days, following the introduction of European
Arrest Warrants in 2004. The 10 people on each Captura list are selected by Soca from lists of wanted suspects sent to them by police forces across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. They are graded according to how dangerous they are to the public, how serious their suspected offences are, and how strong the intelligence is linking them to the Spanish costas. Ken Gallagher, Soca's Head of European Operations, said Operation Captura is helping make the ex-pat
The government gave the go-ahead for a royal decree last week, ordering air controllers to perfect their mastery of English within 18 months, or accept the consequences.

community in Spain an uncomfortable place for fugitives: "Having the public's attention focussed on these individuals goes a long way to making it harder for them to hide."
The Association in Defence of Animal Rights has condemned the Catalan regional government’s decision to allow boars to be hunted in the Collserala Park with bows and arrows. The regional government banned bullfighting because it was cruel but the Association says arrows inflict a long, cruel death. The regional government said the decision was made to reduce the overpopulation of boars in the park, which is forcing the animals to venture into adjoining urban areas in their search for food.

WWII prisoner experiment probed
At least 65 people died after a 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch, New Zealand, on Monday lunchtime and the death toll is expected to rise further. Prime Minister John Key said: "We may be witnessing New Zealand's darkest day." It was the country's deadliest natural disaster in 80 years and the damage was said to be far worse than after the 7.1magnitude quake on September 4th, which left two people seriously injured but caused no fatalities. The tremor caused widespread damage as it occurred at a shallow depth of 5km and at a time when New Zealand's second largest city was at its busiest. TV pictures showed bodies being pulled out of the rubble of scores
of collapsed buildings in the South Island city of nearly 400,000 people and people could be seen wandering the rubblestrewn streets in shock. Police said that among the dead were people on two buses crushed by falling buildings. Officials said 120 people had been rescued from the ruins but they feared up to 30 people were still trapped inside the razed Pyne Gould Guinness building. The spire of Christchurch Cathedral, a landmark in the centre of the city, toppled into the square below. A witness told reporters the area
outside the cathedral was "like a warzone". Power and telephone lines were knocked out, and pipes burst, flooding the streets with water. The suburbs of Lyttelton and New Brighton were reportedly "unliveable". The military has been deployed to help the rescue effort, and the government has accepted an offer of specialist help from Australia. A series of aftershocks, some as big as magnitude 5, have already rattled the stricken city. The quake caused some 30m tons of ice to shear away from New Zealand's biggest glacier, the Tasman Glacier
in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park said massive icebergs formed when the glacier broke, tossing a nearby lake with huge waves. New Zealand experiences more than 14,000 earthquakes a year, of which only around 20 have a magnitude in excess of 5.0. The last fatal earthquake was in 1968, when a 7.1-magnitude tremor killed three people on the South Island's western coast. Tuesday's was the country's worst natural disaster since a 1931 quake in the North Island city of Napier killed 256 people.
China builds luxury resort in Bahamas
Excavations have begun at a former medical school in Tokyo where Unit 731 of the Japanese imperial Army carried out experiments in germ warfare on chinese prisoners. The government had never formally acknowledged the atrocities took place but ordered the
excavation after a former nurse, now 88, broke 60 years of silence. She said she and colleagues were ordered to bury hundreds of bodies after Japan's surrender and the job had to be finished before American troops arrived in the capital.

President Jacob Zuma had urged people to use Twitter and facebook to suggest what his annual state-ofthe-nation speech last week should focus on, and plugging potholes and creating jobs were the most common suggestions. Announcing the plans in parliament, transport minister Sbu Ndebele said a pothole hotline would be launched for road users to report problems. PERU

ExportImport Bank of China is

to recover, there are signs that the industry is starting to pick up again. The resort project is expected to help accelerate the recovery even further. The developers say that a
project of this scale should help create more than 8,000 jobs across all sectors of the hospitality industry. During the construction phase, 4,000 jobs are expected to be taken up by local labour.

Seven of the boats which suck up silt from the riverbed were sunk or burnt. Officials said the river dredgers can find almost £18,000 worth of gold on a good day, yet the miners pay nothing to the state.

Speed-dwellers are hoping it will persuade drivers to slow down on country roads. They also hope Speed will become something of a global, internet sensation with the launch of this novel safety campaign. The idea was the brainchild of the Victoria Transport Accident
Commission, which soon won over Speed's 45 residents. They have made a video as part of the campaign which is already a hit on the social networking site, Facebook. For the duration of the campaign, local wheat and sheep farmer Phil Down has agreed to change his
name to Phil Slow Down. SpeedKillers hope the idea will catch on around the world.
Peru is sending 1,500 varieties of potatoes to a "doomsday vault" in the Arctic Circle - aka the Svalbard Global Seed Vault - to safeguard the tubers' future. Potatoes are the world's most important non-cereal crop, and have been eaten for about 8,000 years. But today native species from the highlands of South America appear to
be at risk because changes to the area's climate could undermine the farmers' weather-dependent agricultural systems. The samples come from the 10,000-hectare Cusco Potato Park, which was set up by six indigenous communities in order to protect biodiversity and protect food security in the region. One of the varieties

UK News Wife on trial 18 years after double murder Eighteen years ago Hazel Stewart, now 47, is said to have helped to kill her husband and her lover's wife. Policeman Trevor Buchanan, then 32, and Lesley Howell, then 31, the wife of Stewart's dentist lover were found in the seaside town of Casterlock, Northen Ireland, in a carbon monoxide filled car in May 1991. Detectives re-opened the case in January 2009 after Colin Howell, now 51, confessed to police that he
had murdered them. He was jailed in December last year for 21 years.
though he had asked her to marry him. She later remarried another man.
However, Stewart has denied that she helped with the killings and has said that she thought about killing herself by driving off a cliff because of the guilt she felt over the deaths before the police arrived at her home in Macosquin, Colerane to question her. After the killings she said that her feelings toward Colin Howell changed and the affair ended even
On day ten of the trial she told the court her heart started to thump when she saw officers and, if she had known they were there before she got to the house, she might have killed herself. "Maybe if I'd known they were there, maybe I'd have run the car over a cliff. I don't know. I always said I would do that. Maybe it's too late for me," she said.
New adoption guidelines Education Secretary Michael Gove said on Monday that councils should consider adoption as a more feasible option for older children with disabilities and without a family to care for them, and added that restraints put on suitable parents because of age, ethnicity, sexual orientation and faith represented social engineering of the worst kind. “Over the years we have created rules that are not always in the best interest of the child,” he said. According to figures released, adoption fell between March 2009 and 2010 by 15 per cent and children over the age of five were four times less likely to be picked for adoption with black children taking an average of 50% longer to be placed than children of other ethnic backgrounds. This is a problem, some critics say, caused by social workers’ perceived importance of matching the child’s background with possible new parents. Gove, who was himself adopted at 4 months old, said that there are literally hundreds of children living in state facilities that are being denied the opportunity of a loving home with people desperate to adopt a child. He said: "I was given a second chance. And as a
result of the love and affection, the stability and care that my parents gave me, all the opportunities that I subsequently had in life were there because they chose, at a critical moment in my life, to become my parents. It has always been the case unfortunately that far too many children are growing up in circumstances where sadly they won't have the architecture or stability that means they can achieve everything of which they are capable." The average amount of time children spend in care before being adopted is 21 months, he said. Children's Minister Tim Loughton said: "Some local authorities place just two per cent of their children in care for adoption, compared to 16 per cent in other parts of the country," And Anne Marie Carrie, chief executive of the children's charity Barnardo's, welcomed the new guidance. The coalition's move to encourage inter-racial adoption is not the first of its kind. In 1998 the previous Labour government announced a similar policy, citing an increase in mixed-race households in Britain and a sharp decrease in the number of families taking children in.
Officer attacked A police officer was attacked while conducting routine inquiries in the usually sleepy Westbourne area of Bournemouth, Dorset, on Monday evening. He suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries and was taken to Poole Hospital by ambulance. A 42-year-old man was arrested at the scene after colleagues responded to an emergency call for assistance. Eyewitnesses said the victim was attacked in the grounds of a large white detached house, thought to be split into several flats.
Water shock Thames Water warned that up to 15,000 of its customers could receive a "nasty shock" following an investigation into how many people have never received water bills. Hundreds of Thames staff have checked on 1.7 million addresses across London and the Thames Valley, while urging people to come forward if they had not been receiving bills. An amnesty ends on March 3rd, giving thousands of people just over a week to avoid paying "hefty" back-charges.

It follows the introduction of a local ordinance.

The Magic Palace in Torremolinos was badly damaged by a fire last Friday. It was the only theatre in the country to present nothing but magic shows. It opened in 2006 but closed a year later when the main partner in the company that set it up withdrew from the business. It has been unused since then and was in a badly deteriorated state. The cause of the fire is being investigated.

‘Carmen’ returns to Andalucia This time it’s not the cigarrolling Carmen of the opera but a lady of the same name who has converted part of her bar in Arcos de la Frontera into a smokers’ club. Carmen Moreno and partner Antonio Roldan have a 100 m2 area adjoining their bar, called Carmen, which they used to let out for wedding and other parties. Now she has converted the salon into a smokers’ club. The bar is only 50 metres away from the local health centre – smoking within a radius of 200 metres of health centres, hospital and schools is forbidden under the anti-smoking law – but Carmen said she had received no complaints. “On the contrary,” she said, “a doctor came by the other day to ask what he had to do to become a member”. Carmen said the club was necessary to keep the tourists coming, because the town would suffer economically if the no smoking law kept them away. The hill-top town is much visited all year round because of the wild beauty of the surrounding mountains and of the town itself. The town rose to prominence after Alfonso the Wise of Castile (12521284) liberated it from the Moors after nearly five centuries of occupation. To celebrate his victory, he built the Gothic cathedral which still dominates the town. Its ten bells tolled every day until the Moors were finally expelled from Spain in 1492.

The search for a British climber who was swept away by an avalanche in the Barranco de San Juan, in Sierra Nevada, on Sunday was suspended on Monday because of poor visibility. A Guardia Civil spokesman told Spanish television the search would resume on Tuesday if conditions were right but added that the possibility of finding John Hogbin, 42, were “practically nil”. The search team consisted of 19 agents from the Guardia’s mountain rescue service and four dogs who were joined on Monday by more than 100 soldiers from the Army’s emergency battalion. Two snow ploughs from the ski station cleared an area of 300 m2 in the Barranco, where the snow was 30 feet deep to help the sniffer dogs. Mr Hogbin’s axe had been found in that

Due to the risk of avalanches in the area, the Guardia limited the number of people taking part in the rescue attempt. At press time, the Guardia had not named the companions, both aged 43, one of whom lived in the same town as Mr Hogbin Zafarraya in Granada province - and the other in Granada. Like Mr Hogbin, they are experienced climbers and escaped with minor injuries. Mr Hogbin’s parents and a number of friends had wanted to participate in the

T
hirty years ago today – Wednesday, February 23rd, Spain suffered the only serious military coup attempt since the death of Francisco Franco in November 1975. The military had been conspiring ever since, and in recent months had been joined by a cross section of the political class who were looking for a way to get rid of Prime Minister Adolfo Suarez. Together with King Juan Carlos, he had steered the country through the most dangerous years after the dictator's death. With the students and workers clamouring for immediate reforms on the one hand, and the military jealously guarding the regime on the other, neither man was much loved. The King was expected to play the role Franco had written for him – that of an authoritarian monarch who would continue the regime set up so painstakingly by the dictator and Suarez had played a fairly important role in the regime as deputy secretary of the Falangist Movement – the only political grouping allowed by Franco. Despite all expectations to the contrary, Juan el Breve (the Brief ) and the “Fascist” introduced dozens of essential reforms ( including the legalisation of the Communist party which annoyed the armed forces no end), held a general election, drew up a new Constitution and had it passed by a referendum – all in the space of little more than two years. (The King appointed Suarez prime minister in July 1976 – the Constitution was approved in December 1978).
B
ut while Suarez had done a brilliant job dismantling the regime he had been part of, by the autumn of 1980 he seemed to be running out of steam. He was becoming increasingly isolated from the cabinet, his party and the press. Socialist leader Felipe Gonzalez withdrew his support, claiming that Suarez no longer had a meaningful contribution to make. Unemployment had risen to one and a half million. And the government was dragging its feet as regards the transfer of powers to the regional governments, especially those of the Basque Country and Catalonia. As a result, the Basque terrorist movement ETA had stepped up its violent struggle for independence. The draft military amnesty law presented to Parliament in June 1980 opened up the way for the reintegration of the officers who had fought for the Republic during the Civil War, outraging the military even more than the legalisation of the Communist Party. To make matters worse, both ETA and GRAPO (The First of October Anti-Fascist Resistance Group) had carried out a series of assassination attempts on senior generals during the spring and summer of 1980. So the military were not at all happy and conspiracy was rife.
I
t was also quite open. By October 1980, the press was mentioning the so-called “Operación De Gaulle”, a reference to General Alfonso Armada, a great admirer
Antonio Tejero on February 23rd
of De Gaulle, who was floating the idea of a coalition military-civilian government to solve the country’s problems.
M
eanwhile, several senior generals visited King Juan Carlos to complain bitterly about the situation. The King tried to make them see reason, making it clear that “in no circumstances should they rely on me to cover the slightest act against a constitutional government like ours. Such actions, if they took place, I told them, would be considered by the King as a direct attack on the crown.”
F
earing that the military were finally running out of patience, Adolfo Suarez resigned on January 29th, 1981, in order to placate them. But while Parliament was meeting to confirm the appointment of Leopoldo Calvo Sotelo as his successor on February 23rd, just after 6 pm groups of Guardia Civil stormed into the chamber through its several entrances, fired shots into the ceiling, where the bullet holes can still be seen, and declared the military had taken over. In fact, only Valencia had been taken by General Milans de Bosch, while the King was in the Zarzuela Palace ringing all the military posts in the rest of the country to demand their allegiance to himself and Parliament.
T
he King finally appeared on TV – in full uniform – at 1.15 am to condemn the attempted coup in no uncertain terms and to this day, his critics still maintain that the few hours delay between the start of the coup and his address to the nation indicate he was in on it then changed his mind.
I
n a programme about the coup attempt on RTVE last Sunday, former Communist leader Santiago Carrillo – who was in parliament when the Civil Guards burst in – put it very succinctly: If the King had been in on the coup it would have ended successfully ten minutes after it started and you (the interviewer) and I would not be sitting here talking about it.
T
he outcome of the botched coup was that the Spanish people finally understood just how valuable their fragile democracy was - and the military finally understood that they would never tolerate another dictatorship.
oday, a lot of people across Spain will be asking: Where were you during the coup attempt 30 years ago? I had just come home from classes at the university in the US, and just turned on television for my nightly dose of the CBS Evening News. (CNN wasn’t around then.) It was the lead story – a surprising switch for a national newscast in the United States where 90 per cent of coverage was, and still is, geared toward domestic issues. In one of his last news broadcasts before retiring weeks later, veteran anchor Walter Cronkite announced the coup attempt and showed viewers the now-famous video of Civil Guard Lt. Col. Antonio Tejero firing his gun in the air inside Parliament while Adolfo Suárez refuses to duck under his seat like the rest of the lawmakers.
I
n Spain , El País had a special role on that day. It probably was one of the best roles for any newspaper to play during times of national emergencies. The daily was only four years old and, the same as Spanish democracy, was still treading uncharted waters. But it had by then gained a reputation as a hard-hitting, leftleaning paper, employing liberal journalists, many of whom returned from exile to help reconstruct a modern country. It was also becoming a thorn in the side for the traditional conservative sectors, including for some in the military.
M
ost Spaniards found out through radio about the violent interruption in Parliament on February 23rd, 1981. Radio Nacional and SER both had reporters in the gallery who were on the air live covering the vote count for Calvo Sotelo as new prime minister. So when Tejero’s screaming and subsequent shots rang out, listeners were given a startling shot of radio at its rawest until the transmissions were cut off and replaced by music. Many newspaper editors were following the event through the airwaves but, like the rest of the country, they had no clear clue as to what was happening. It took a few phone calls to well-connected sources for them to find out.
A
t El País, publisher Jesús Polanco and his then-editor Juan Luis Cebrián were debating with the reporters in the newsroom whether to come out with a special edition, one that would go out on the streets immediately telling Spaniards about the coup attempt and asking them to support the Constitution and democracy. It was nearly 7pm. One source had told Cebrián that a military contingent was on its way to Madrid precisely to take over the newspaper’s installations, as they had earlier at the RTVE Prado del Rey studios in Pozuelo, outside Madrid .
B
elieving that he could rally other newspapers to strengthen the message, Cebrián telephoned his counterpart at Diario 16, Pedro J. Ramirez, the now irascible conservative editor at El
Mundo, who told him he had neither the manpower nor the resources to come out with a special edition. As Cebrián recalled in an account published last Sunday: “At the time I thought what they really didn’t have were the balls and I told him so, but not in those words.”
T
he decision was made quickly and the El País staff began to work on what would be the first of several editions that day. With no photographs yet available, El País editors decided to use a solemn drawing of the Congress building on the front page with just three words in bold letters “Golpe de Estado.” Below was an editorial written by journalist Javier Pradera under a subhead: “El País (The Country) is with the Constitution.” It no doubt was intended as a less-than subtle double-meaning: the entire “country” as well as the newspaper upholds democracy.
T
he special edition was out by 8:30pm, just two hours after the coup began. Because none of the kiosks were opened by that time, it was decided to deliver a batch of newspapers to the Palace Hotel, where the military commanders and police loyal to the King had set up headquarters, and where journalists gathered to cover the event. El País was the only paper out on the street during the early hours of the emergency – a coup within a coup. The newspapers also made it to Paliament where Tejero and his men were holed up with their lawmakerhostages. The coup leader appeared dejected when he read the special edition, according to witnesses who were watching him.
“
The editors and workers at El País only did what we are expected to do: give our readers the news and to be able to comment freely about it,” says Cebrián. Although the situation seemed under control when King Juan Carlos appeared on television asking the military to return to their barracks, the siege was far from over. The following day thousands took to the streets of Madrid in support of constitutional order. The coup had failed.

In the past we have had to travel from Banus and Estepona either to the Iceland in Fuengirola which admittedly is a great store, or down to Gibraltar to Morrison’s.
So, on their opening day I had in my basket a couple of loaves of English white (plastic) bread, a bottle of Marmite, a jar of Chivers orange marmalade, a big box of PG Tips, some lovely pork sausages with no spices to go with my English mashed potatoes and a tub of Bisto Gravy granules. Oh yes, I nearly forgot, a great big box of Readybrek for my breakfasts. The shop isn’t as big as the Fuengirola one but everybody that I have spoken to says that they love the fact that, at last, it is open and we shall all be shopping more often and without having to waste petrol travelling so far.

How marvellous it is to have the new Iceland store open in Puerto Banus!

I can get here for €1 on the bus, door to door, so I will be shopping every other day now.” Lee from Cancelada said:“I used to do the big shop in Fuengirola for all the Brit Bits but this is much more convenient for people that live in and around Marbella and Estepona.” Martin and Jackie, who have been in Estepona for 10 years, said; “ It’s very nice to have the new store.” The new Iceland store has 400 square metres of floor space and they have maximised the space they have by using

Solar flares You may have seen on TV news last week that the Sun emitted a giant solar flare that was headed our way. But what exactly does this mean? I’ve mentioned before that the Sun is a star, just like all the other stars in the sky. It is a giant ball of mainly hydrogen that was born about 5 billion years ago. It is now about half way through its life and in about another 5 billion years time it will eventually die, it’s a long way off so nothing much to worry about there then. The Sun is not burning; it’s not ‘on fire’. What makes the Sun hot is the reaction that is taking place deep down near the centre where the heat and pressure is so great that two atoms of hydrogen are combining to make one atom of helium in a process called nuclear fusion. When fusion occurs a massive amount of energy is released. This fusion is happening billions of times per second and the energy released gradually makes its way to the surface of the Sun in the form of heat, light and magnetic radiation. Sometimes the magnetic radiation becomes very intensely localized and creates darker areas on the Sun called sunspots. The energy then bursts out from the sunspot but is usually pulled back in toward the Sun creating a huge loop stretching many thousands of miles away from the Sun. Occasionally these loops are so huge that as they spew out into space then instead of looping back toward the Sun they snap like a rubber band stretched too far and then the energy contained in them flies off into outer space at speeds usually in the range of a million miles per hour. They are then called a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). CMEs can fly off in any direction but last Tuesday February 15th a particularly big one just happened to be aimed directly at the Earth. As the CME is travelling at a million miles per hour then it takes about 93 hours or about 4 days to reach us and last Friday and Saturday the Earth was bombarded by this energy sent from
the Sun. You probably didn’t notice much happening but these CMEs can have devastating effects on electronic equipment and electrical power lines. Aircraft navigation can be disrupted and satellites, including the International Space Station, can be knocked out. Luckily we had advance warning of the approaching CME and precautions were put into place to protect very vulnerable equipment. What we did see though was a spectacular display of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. These ribbons of multi coloured light displays can be seen on most clear nights in very north or south regions of the world and are caused by the solar wind of energy that normally sprays out from the Sun on a daily basis. As the solar wind reaches the Earth it is channelled like a huge bar magnet toward the Magnetic North and South Poles of the Earth. Here it reacts with the gases in the very upper reaches of the atmosphere like a neon light. Last week’s CME caused the lights to be seen as far South as the UK Midlands. Scientists believe that we are in for a lot more of these CMEs over the next year or two as the Sun reawakens from a relatively quiet period when there was almost no sunspot activity at all. Last week’s CME was eventually down graded to a medium strength so we’ll have to wait and see what the future holds for us.

Fantastic tourist attraction - once it’s finished! Heart stopping walk will be at the centre of the tourist must-do map
Written by Andrea MacLean
It’s been described as the scariest walk in the world – but to call it a walk does not do it justice as one of the most heart stopping activities undertaken by those adrenaline junkies who love to live on the edge of danger.
M
illions have already put themselves into the walking boots of the fearless few extreme sport and thrill seekers and sent themselves heartthumpingly dizzy without having to risk life and limb. All they have had to do is put El Caminito del Rey in a search engine and scroll though the YouTube videos posted by those brave, or mad, enough to take their lives into their hands.
T
he famous walkway is just 50 kilometres from Malaga, and clings to the side of the breath taking Los Gitanos Gorge, overlooking the El Chorro Reservoir. It’s just one metre wide, three kilometres long, and a dizzying 100 metres above the gorge and river and over the years it has
claimed a number of lives. That’s because this scary catwalk, once described as one of the wonders of Spain, fell into disrepair and has dramatically deteriorated over the years.
T
he walkway was officially closed in 2000 after accidents led to the deaths of four people, but extreme thrill seekers have defiantly continued to make their way across the unsafe structure and it has continued to claim victims. Startling YouTube videos show people clambering across steel spikes used to hold up the now non-existent original path. The fearless climbers cling to the rock while holding a camcorder in one hand to record their perilous journey. A video posting from just a few
months ago triumphantly proclaims that the footage is in HD and reveals just how terrifying the route is.
B
ut all this is about to change. Later this year plans to renovate and repair this amazing trail will finally get under way, and 8 million euros has been allocated by the Provincial Government and the Junta de Andalucia to finance what will be one of the most complex of repair projects – and that will bring to an end the activities of those folk with nerves of steel prepared to defy gravity.
T
he work is expected to take up to three years and phase two will include a visitors centre and a small museum explaining the history of the hydro-
electric plant built in the area. The provincial government has long wanted to revitalise the trail, which is found in one of the best known natural settings in Malaga province and has provided a startling backdrop for movies like Von Ryan’s Express, starring Frank Sinatra, and Robert de Niro’s The Bridge of San Luis Rey. It’s an area already popular with tourists but once the trail is renovated tourist chiefs believe it will add real value to tourism in the Ardales region, and be a key plank in their plans to put inland Spain firmly on the tourist must-see map. One part of the project may include the reintroduction of the local railway. he walkway was constructed as a part of the hydroelectric works
T
–it’s believed to have been built in 1905 to provide a link for workers making their way between the hydroelectric plants at Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls. When the dam was inaugurated in 1921 King Alfonso XIII walked across it – and that’s how it got its name...walkway of the king. Now, no way were the authorities about to risk the life of the King and although the walkway may have only been one metre wide it was soundly built with a handrail. Even so, the King presumably had a good head for heights.
T
he area has always been popular with rock climbers and there are plenty of routes and different grades of difficulty in the gorge. But you don’t have to be a climber or thrill seeker to enjoy the area because it is
home too to the Lake District area of Malaga Province and plenty of families head here to enjoy wonderful views and to find a quiet spot to sunbathe and swim.
A
nd when the King’s Walkway is finished it will provide an amazing opportunity to safely step along a pathway that has a historic importance in this area of natural beauty.

Café 119 at Calle Gerald Brennan, 89, Alhaurin el Grande opened last week as people flocked through the doors to sample the wonderfully fresh fare that this new café / bistro has to offer. As we stepped inside we were greeted with champagne and canapes the variety of which would make Harrods or Harvey Nick’s jealous. Owner Cathryn Tinnion, who used to run the Café Los Nebrales, has been looking for exactly the right premises for her new café for some time. She has totally refurbished the café (formerly known as
Picnics) and with her twenty years experience in the catering industry (the name Café 119 comes from the café she started in Nailsea, near Bristol which is still a success today) you can be assured of top quality food from fresh ingredients daily for the discerning palate, at reasonable prices.
take-away too! There’s also jacket potatoes and paninis, sandwiches and a wonderful Sunday Roast every week. Cakes on offer while we were there included coffee cake, carrot and orange, chocolate fudge, a fabulously light banoffi that we just had to sample (there goes the diet again!) plus lemon meringue pie, all from €1.20 a slice. Milk shakes, frappés and smoothies along with great coffee are all available so why not pop along of an afternoon for a cake and coffee - you won’t be disappointed.
We also sampled the pork in paprika - which was a smooth and velvety sauce with top quality chunks of melt in the mouth pork. Café 119 will definitely be on our list of stop-off points after a day’s shopping or for an evening out from now on. Café 119 is fully licensed and can offer outside catering for your buffets, parties etc so you can put your feet up and enjoy your event with someone else doing the hard work.

BY IVAN REITMAN Starring Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher
L
ast year I became a big fan of the Spanish pop group Macaco and their hit song ‘Moving’. The track was adopted by the National Geographic Channel as their theme tune for Earth Day in 2009 and an all star cast chipped in to help the funky video along.

s well as Spanish uberactor Javier Bardem, the video also featured music sensation Juanes, Spanish pop star Bebe and a balding Spanish actor called Javier Cámera.
This is an “adult” comedy, so don’t take the kids, in which Emma (Portman) and Adam (Kutcher) are life-long friends who run the risk of ruining their friendship by falling into bed with each other after a party. To protect their friendship they make a “no strings attached” pact. So they can continue to be “friends with benefits” but there is to be no jealousy, no expectations, and definitely no falling in love. One thing is for sure, this
rom-com won’t be putting any more awards on Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominated Portman’s mantlepiece. The Black Swan actress obviously reckoned it was time for a bit of light relief from the rigours of filming the dark ballet psycho
drama. So, the premise is – can you have sex without love getting in the way? And can friendship survive this pressure? And just how many of us will actually care? Some critics reckon its already doomed to be on the “worst movies of 2011”
list. Others reckon it’s inoffensive and quite enjoyable so you takes your pick. And if you like the amiable Ashton Kutcher then maybe it’s a movie for you. Of course, the big question is – does love conquer all? Well, what do you think....
MOVIE NEWS
East is East was a funny comedy-drama about a large Anglo-Pakistani family living in Salford and drew heavily on the writer’s own life. Released in 1999, it was the most successful fully funded British movie ever and became a huge wordof-mouth box office hit – now, audiences will finally get the chance to find out what happened next when the sequel, West is West, opens in British cinemas next week. Writer Khan-Din has lived in a quiet area outside Granada, Spain, for
some years. He and his actress wife –who appeared in the BBC flop Eldorado – moved there after falling in love with the country. It’s taken him 12 years to come up with the sequel, and who knows, he may be up to finishing off the story by turning it into a trilogy – with the final part called Never The Twain Shall Meet – in keeping with the Rudyard Kipling poem. In East is East, set in 1971, George (Genghis) Khan (Om Puri) has seven children by his English “wife” Ella (Linda Bassett). He is determined that the kids are raised as traditional Muslims – and no film lover will ever forget the hilarious scene when one of the boys is introduced to the ugly sisters sat perched on the settee as his father plans an
arranged marriage. But the kids are Salford born and bred and have different ideas and it is the culture clash that leads to such hilarious comedy moments. The sequel is set 5 years later. George decides to take his 15-year-old youngest son to Pakistan. The boy has been getting into trouble and George wants to introduce him to his cultural heritage in a bid to stave off trouble. But it’s George himself who has to face up to the consequences of his own actions as he comes face to face with the wife and daughters he abandoned 30 years earlier when he left for Britain. Again, the script draws heavily on Khan-Din’s own life, and takes a close look at how cultures can collide – one to watch out for.
I
was intrigued to find out more about Javi Cámera, so I Googled him and started to note down some of the films he has starred in since his first one in 1990. In the last couple of weeks I have watched two of his films and they are both very funny and it’s easy to see why he has been nominated five times for a Goya, the Spanish equivalent of an Oscar.
J
avi Cámera has a very natural and credible screen presence. He plays on his middle of the road looks to create characters that you can really connect with.

n ‘Fuera de Carta’ (2008), he plays Maxi, a manic, gay, perfectionist chef who lives for the day he will receive his first Michelin star. Suffering for his art, Maxi tries to inspire culinary excellence in his oddball team of employees but with drink, drugs, pregnancy and boyfriend troubles being just a few of the burdens they bear, they are not an altogether reliable bunch.

is Maitre D’ is a voluptuous man eater called Alexandra who suffers endless rejection from a stream of unsuitable lovers. When a handsome and famous young Argentine footballer called Horacio Pereti moves into the flat across from Maxi, Alex thinks she has finally found Mr Right.
A
round the same time, Maxi receives a call to say his estranged ex-wife has died and his two children will now be moving in with him. Bitter at what they see as their father’s rejection of them when they were younger, the children give Maxi a hard time about how he left their mother and why they have to live with him.
s Maxi tries to push the footballer in Alex’s direction, everything turns upside down for Maxi as the dashing hunk declares he is not interested in the beautiful and willing Alex, it’s the tubby, balding, middle aged, gay chef that he wants. s Maxi starts his affair with this rich, famous footie star, he has to hide the truth of his relationship from Alex, who is becoming increasingly frustrated that her beguiling womanly efforts seem to be wasted on Horacio.
A
dd into this mix the fact that the young hero does not want people to know he’s gay and obviously everyone finds out. Poor Horacio ends up coming out unintentionally on the Spanish equivalent of Match of the Day.
F
uera de Carta, or Chef’s Special in English, is a very funny, sweet film that has a happy ending.
T
orremolinos 73 (2003) is also funny but in a much darker and more cautionary way. Door to door encyclopaedia salesman Alfredo López is on his way down. Trudging from apartment block to apartment block and facing the daily round of ‘No thank you’s and slammed doors, he is falling behind with his rent and is unable to provide for his pretty young wife Candela. Then Alfredo’s boss suggests that the young couple could earn big money for filming their own ‘nature’ films on a hand held Super 8 camera. Initially Candela is unsure of the idea but with a little coaxing, a lot of cash plus the hope of conceiving a child through the nonstop sexual activity required to keep the cameras going, eventually she comes around to the idea. As the couple start to be able to afford a colour TV and fur coats, Candela becomes more and more fixated on becoming pregnant, until things come to a head when she discovers that Alfredo is shooting blanks. Unaware of the situation, Alfredo ploughs on with his plan to make a real movie in Torremolinos, the outcome of which is hijacked by his porn baron boss and Candela, each getting what they want from the project.

Being more of a leader can sometimes find you at odds when it comes to working as a team. At the moment you will achieve more if you can start to think as a “team” and work together with others to achieve your aims. Your financial instincts are right on the button but you will need help from others to put your plans into action. Dreams are set to become reality and allowing others to use their creativity will help to set it all into motion. This week you need to be ultra sharp and ask all the right questions as someone may have an eye on something you own. Being calm and controlled will allow the truth to reveal itself. Wealth and abundance is on its way and the way to achieve this is to focus on the details and get them correct. Make sure that you are not so caught up in your own ideals and objectives that you miss the obvious - leave time for rest and relaxation. If you want someone not to notice something the best way is to create a distraction. A loud noise created in the opposing direction should do it. You are likely to feel glad that you made certain adjustments a while ago and those decisions have stood you in good stead now. Several fascinating discoveries will be stumbled across over the coming week and if you are open to possibilities then the world becomes your oyster. Are you starting to run out of steam, is your fuel tank low and the warning light flickering? You are a great helper but now is the time to let someone help you. Delegate where possible, prioritise and do not try to do all that needs doing in one day. Slow down and work on securing your financial future - this is a time for taking action but first you need to check things out to realise the full implications of your actions and the results that those actions could create. Leading by example is what you do well and others will be looking to you for guidance and direction. Avoid the temptation of being all things to all people, scattering your energies and leaving you feeling worn out. Right now you have what everyone wants and needs so you will be required to think on your feet and problem solve. Leave the theories behind and focus on what works and what doesn’t. The high road is calling you. This is a social time for you when your powers of attraction and magnetism are high. Romance usually follows and your circle of friends expands. You are a jack of all trades at the moment - turning your hand to almost anything is not an issue for you. The pace of life is speeding up and it may be difficult for you to focus in on one thing. Do not let minor aggravations or annoyances get to you - just make sure you take some time out for yourself.

Not all things happen in the way we think they will, many projects don’t end up working out how we have planned them. This week prepare to be taken out of your comfort zone when an x factor causes a change in direction. The need to be adaptable is crucial here, while at the same time making sure that your wants and needs are also considered. If you see these sudden changes September 23rd - as an opportunity you will be surprised at how quickly one thing leads to nd October 22 another and fortune shines down on you.
SCORPIO
October 23rd November 21st
Do you feel disjointed? Like an outsider looking in at your life, even in a crowd that you know well, you could feel alone. Very little could feel right and you certainly would not feel settled, it is like being on the edge of the unusual. Basically you are on the brink of change, some emotional connections are in the process of transforming and you are not sure where you sit with them. Don’t question this feeling; just find within yourself a place where you can trust the outcome.
SAGITTARIUS You and another are just not singing from the same page, in fact you are not even singing from the same hymn sheet - that doesn’t mean you cannot find another type of song to sing though. You are meant to speak up and be direct so make sure your voice and opinions are heard and perhaps you can move forward in sync. There is more going on around you than meets the eye - more than ever nd November 22 - communicating with others is vital to allow you to see the full force of a situation. st December 21
CAPRICORN Stop the worrying, Capricorn. If you are struggling to get to grips to understand someone or a situation then stop the struggling, put it on the back burner and it will happen. You do not have to shout to get attention or win approval as you have more friends and admirers than you realise. All you have to be is yourself. While managing high levels of responsibility it is essential that you December 22nd find ways to make you feel good. A little self nurturing will go a long way. January 19th

You may be feeling progressively more and more the reality of how rare it is to find someone wired liked you. You may search a lifetime and end up only being able to count on one hand the number of people you can truly relate to. The thing to bear in mind is it is more important to express your own unique individuality than to be a part of the herd. There are tribe members out there waiting to be found and they are just starting to come out of the woodwork this week. Life is about taking chances. It is far better to speak fully and truthfully than to carry unspoken longings in the recesses of your heart that never reach the ears of those you love. Try not to worry whether you should or should not have done something - do not let those doubts take over, it is all water under the bridge now. Allow room for the new energy that is brewing, new levels of inspiration are finding you, and all because of a little help from your friends.
...you don’t have to be a chef!

Masculine and Feminine One of the most frequent questions I get about learning Spanish is "Why are some words masculine and some feminine?" Well, there seems to be little logic behind whether a word is masculine or feminine. Un vestido - a dress, is masculine. Why? Well, if a word ends in "o" it is probably masculine but that doesn't explain why. It's just one of those things you have to accept. So most words ending in "o" are masculine and most ending in "a" are feminine. Some common fruits are feminine while the tree that bears them is masculine So we have: Una manzana - an apple But un manzano - an apple tree Una naranja - an orange Un naranjo - an orange tree Una almendra - an almond Un almendro - an almond tree Una cereza - a cherry Un cerezo - a cherry tree If you are referring to a mixed group of people you always use the masculine plural So un niño is a boy una niña a girl but los niños - the children If you say Las niñas you are speaking only about girls. El hermano - the brother La hermana - the sister but los hermanos - the brothers and sisters So if someone asks you ¿Tienes hermanos? they are asking if you have siblings. Carrying on with this logic un padre is a father una madre - a mother, but los padres is the parents Some others you may need El suegro - the father-in-law La suegra - the mother-in-law Los suegros - the parents-in-law El abuelo - the grandfather La abuela - the grandmother Los abuelos - the grandparents. Ya está - that's it Hasta la próxima - Until next time Valerie runs the Centro Idiomas Language School in Coin.

SuBo story for the silver screen Well, who would have thought it? Susan Boyle has been a huge success around the world since her appearances on Britain’s Got Talent. Her autobiography sold by the bucket load last year and she performed for the Pope, during his visit to Scotland. And now her rags to riches story is set to be turned into a Hollywood movie starring Oscar winning actress Glenn Close. The Fatal Attraction star has reportedly signed up to star in the biopic charting SuBo’s
remarkable life and dramatic rise to fame – her rendition of “I Dreamed A Dream” from Les Miserables, performed at her audition,turned her into a global phenomenon, and set new records for the number of YouTube hits. Apparently Susan had wanted Scottish actress Elaine Smith, who played Rab C Nesbitt’s wife in the television series, to portray
her but studio bosses stepped in and insisted on Close. The five times Oscar nominated actress has performed in stage musicals and began her career on Broadway, and she currently stars in the award winning TV series Damages. No word yet though on the search for the actor who will play Britain’s Got Talent mastermind Simon Cowell.
Nun spends too much time on Facebook
Pope Benedict XVI has said social networking offers a chance to make new
friends and to spread the Gospel and has called on Catholics to use the internet in a “Christian way” although there has been no public word from the Vatican on how he feels about the new app “iHave sinned”, that allows Catholics to confess on their iPhone. But one Spanish nun has now fallen foul of new technology, and has been kicked out of her religious order, where she has lived in seclusion for 35 years, for spending too much time on Facebook. Sister Maria Jesús Galén, 54, dubbed “Sister Internet”, had almost 600 Facebook friends and used it last week to announce that she had been asked to leave her
Nearly 1,900 invitations have now been sent out for the Royal Wedding – and the message from courtiers is that they are hoping that the invited guests won’t go mad on Twitter during the ceremony. The bulk of the invitations have gone to friends of the couple and people William has met during his charitable work. But the embossed and gilded 8 inch by 6 inch invites also went to 40 crowned heads. So the Spanish Royals will be rubbing shoulders with the Sultan of Oman, the King of Saudi Arabia, the King of Jordan, and the King of Tonga, among others.
Clarence House has said that the guest list will not be released before the April 29th ceremony – and this week a spokesman for David and Victoria Beckham refused to confirm or deny their attendance. Earlier speculation that Prince William had wanted the Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to be accompanied by their mother, Sarah Ferguson, now looks wide of the mark.
It’s been confirmed that Kate Middleton has asked hat designer Philip Treacy to design head gear for the bridal party. She has been photographed wearing his designs, and it’s believed that she will want to change from her wedding dress into a glamorous outfit with hat for the evening celebrations. But the name of the designer of the wedding dress itself is being kept a state secret.

Saint Isidore of Seville died back in 636 – so it’s not immediately obvious why he is widely considered to be the patron saint of the internet. He was a bishop and scholar who was nominated by the late Pope John Paul II for the role, although it has not been ratified by the Vatican. He famously wrote a 20 book opus in which he recorded all that was known to man at the time and for a thousand years it was considered the encyclopaedia of all human knowledge – so, a bit like the modern day search engines. Apparently the website catholic.org suggests offering a prayer to Saint Isidore before logging on so users can be guided safely through their search.

Her Mother Superior introduced the computer some years ago and Sister Maria won a local government award for her work on computerising the convent’s library – the award made headlines and led to the growth in her Facebook friends. The Church in Toledo has already made its mark in the world of computing – last year a parish priest was removed from his post after it was discovered that he had used the internet to advertise himself as a male prostitute.

Health &beauty Zinc effective for common colds study says
News - Breakthroughs - Treatments - Trends Negative experiences block painkillers Believing that a drug will not work can become a self fulfilling prophecy, according to researchers at Oxford University.
Taking zinc in syrup, tablet or lozenge form can lessen the severity and duration of the common cold, according to a recent study. After reviewing data from 15 trials involving 1,360 people, researchers at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, India, found that taking zinc within a day of the onset of cold symptoms speeded recovery. There is no proven treatment for the common cold, but the researchers said zinc medications may help prevent and lessen infections by coating the
common cold viruses and stopping them from entering the body through the thin lining of the nose. The researchers said zinc seemed to stop the virus from replicating, at least in laboratory tests, and aided the immune system. It may also reduce the unpleasant reactions the body has to an invading virus. However, they said zinc cannot be used long-term

toxicity
Excessive amounts can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. They said more work was needed to determine the exact dosing required. A spokesman for the Cochrane Library, which published the study results, said the treatment showed some promise because although there
were many over-thecounter cold remedies already available, “we are not awash with things that can stop cold symptoms or greatly reduce their severity”. But a spokesman for the Common Cold Centre at Cardiff University, doubted zinc's benefits as a cold treatment in current formulations. He said zinc's toxicity would also be a potential concern if taken over longer periods.

To show that the benefits of painkillers could be boosted or completely wiped out by manipulating expectations, they applied heat to the legs of 22 patients, who were asked to report the level of pain on a scale of one to 100. Meanwhile, they were administered a drug secretly via an intravenous drip. The initial average pain rating was 66. They were then given a potent painkiller, remifentanil, without their knowledge and the pain score went down to 55. When they were told they were being given a painkiller the score dropped to 39. When, without changing the dose, the patients were told to expect pain because the painkiller had been withdrawn, the score went up to 64. So even
though they were being given remifentanil, they reported the same level of pain as when they had been getting no drugs at all. The study was carried out with healthy people who were subjected to pain for a short period of time. The researchers said people with chronic conditions who had tried several drugs for many years without success would have built up a much greater negative experience, which could affect their future healthcare. The researchers also said their findings raise concerns about clinical trials used to determine the effectiveness of drugs: "It's another piece of evidence that we get what we expect in life. It completely blows cold randomised clinical trials, which don't take into account expectation."

The Bahrain Grand Prix has been called off because of anti-government protests in the Gulf kingdom. The race, which was due to be staged on March 13th, would have been the curtain-raiser for the new season but has now been postponed to a future date. Instead, the 2011 campaign will begin in Australia on March 27th. "We must focus on immediate issues of national interest and leave the hosting to a later date," said Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, who met with Bernie Eccleston on Monday.

Higgins captures 3rd Welsh open title
Second Indian Masters title for SSP Chowrasia SSP Chowrasia clinched the Avantha Masters title on home soil by a single shot, in New Delhi last weekend, after a five-under par final round of 67. He certainly gave his fans at home something to cheer about as he held off England’s Robert Coles. This was a great 2nd Indian Masters victory for the 32 year old, who turned professional in 1997 and won his first Indian Masters title in 2008. SSP Chowrasia, also known as Chipputtsia, was four-under for the round by the turn, following birdies at the first, fourth, seventh and eighth and things improved further for the Indian player as he picked up shots at the tenth and 11th holes. It was on the 14th that he added his final birdie of the day, before taking a doublebogey at the par-three 16th. Back-to-back pars saw him finish with a final round of

67 which saw him climb to 15-under for the tournament. Robert Coles enjoyed a mixed front nine, picking up his first shot of the day at the sixth, following it up with an eagle at the seventh before his opening bogey, although he managed to recover the shot immediately. A series of pars followed and on the 18th tee he was level with Chowrasia. A par would have been enough for a play-off, but he could only manage a six for a two-
under 70 and a 14-underpar total. France’s Gregory Havret was a further stroke back finishing his final round in 70, and firstround leader Robert-Jan Derksen from the Netherlands picked up three shots to finish on 12under-par. Pablo Larrazabal and Sujjan Singh both finished in a share of fifth on 11under, with Chinnarat Phadungsil and Mark Haastrup finishing a further shot back. Chowrasia, who is now
"I thought I had things pretty much under control after the front nine and then at 17 under after 15 it seemed fine. I made the mistake off the tee on 16th and ended with a double. "Still, when Coles missed the birdie putt on 15th and again 17th, I thought I would go into a play off. I went to the range and hit a few balls. "The roar from the 18th green made me realize something had happened and then people ran towards the range to congratulate me. It seemed a replay of 2008." Report by Claire Voet

Maguire dominated the afternoon frames but still only led 5-3 after several missed opportunities that allowed Higgins, who knocked in a 120 break, to keep in touch. Still the chances came for Maguire but the world number one was ruthless as he rattled off five frames in a row. Maguire stopped the rot with a 75 but his
Despite Higgins' sloppy start to his 37th ranking final, it was a typical gutsy display, interspersed with the occasional fireworks, and one that was filled with emotion, playing only two weeks after his father John senior died of cancer. Victory also had the 35year-old joining Stephen Hendry as a three-time winner of the Welsh Open and, perhaps more importantly, handing him a 23rd ranking title - one more than arch rival Ronnie O'Sullivan.

I wasn’t surprised when you see it’s Spain. Nothing surprises me that comes from Spain. But it’s disappointing.”

Sunshine Golf, the Costa Del Sol’s one stop golf shop “All we slice is the price” Great Britain’s mens’s pursuit team on their way to gold
British pursuiters storm to golds Britain's pursuit teams powered to gold medals with dominant displays at the World Cup in Manchester. The men’s line-up of Bradley Wiggins, Geraint Thomas, Ed Clancy and Steven Burke put on a show to beat New Zealand, going 2.124 seconds off the world record. Great Britain women's pursuit team won the team's first gold medal on the first day of the World Cup. The trio of Joanna Rowsell, Wendy Houvenaghel and Sarah Storey overpowered New Zealand in a British record three minutes, 19.757 seconds. Jason Kenny beat teammate Sir Chris Hoy in the semi-final of the sprint, taking silver in the final behind Kevin Sireau of
France, while Hoy won bronze. Elsewhere, GB's Geraint Thomas won silver in the individual pursuit. For the pursuit team, it is likely to be the last time they compete together until winter, with Bradley Wiggins and Geraint Thomas likely to head back out on the road with Team Sky for the spring classics and the grand tours. But they signed off in style, sending out a message to their potential Olympic opponents by setting the fifth-fastest time ever of three minutes 55.471 seconds - just off the world record of 3.53.314 set by a GB team containing Wiggins, Thomas, Clancy and Paul Manning at the Beijing Olympics.

Seba salvages a point Cricket returns for Malaga Malaga manager Manuel Pellegrini returned to his old club to the in search of much needed points having not won in the last Costa 6 games. Villarreal 1 - 1 Malaga del Sol
Malaga created their first chance after 2 minutes but Demechelis headed wide from a corner. After that though Villareal took control of the game - Willy Caballero, Malaga's new goalkeeper, was called upon in the 17th minute to make a good save from a Villareal freekick. Their pressure continued and it soon paid off when Rossi was put through on goal and although his shot was half-stopped by Caballero, Ruben was on hand to turn the loose ball in from close range in the 36th minute. Villarreal then really should have wrapped the game up after creating a number of decent openings, with Nilmar twice denied by
Caballero before Cazorla curled a free-kick against the crossbar. Cazorla pounced on the loose ball and broke through the Malaga defence, only to see Caballero again prevent the home side from increasing their lead. The game turned into a scrappy affair but with Juanmi and Maresca brought on from the subs bench, Malaga never gave up. And in the 82nd minute Rondon was set free down the left hand flank and crossed into the box for the unmarked Seba Fernandez to slot home, much to the relief of all the Malaga staff and players. They held on for

game to the local schools in the form of Quick Cricket. Whilst the Spanish Government recognises cricket as an Olympic sport there has been little or no funding, to date, although great effort is being made to change this. All work to develop the game in the Costas is purely voluntarily, however there are some Quick Cricket kits available along with a limited amount of coaching. We are looking for players(15 years and above) umpires,scorers,sponsors, coaches and volunteers to help with administration etc. If you think you can help with any of these please contact Tim Meal on 662 233 302 or e.mail tim_sheena@hotmail.com. By way of The News I will bring you regular news from the field of play with match reports and the progress of the development of the game in the schools and colleges. Report by:Tim Meal

SPOTLIGHT CYCLING
Olympic velodrome for 2012 opens The 6,000-seat velodrome for the 2012 London Olympics and Paralympics opened on Tuesday. The venue for indoor cycling and BMX events, expected to come in on budget at around £93m, is the first to be completed at the Olympic Park. Sir Chris Hoy, who won three cycling gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Games, helped in the design. "The new velodrome is going to be the best in the world. I can't wait until I can compete on it," he said. London 2012 chairman Lord Coe described the VeloPark as "a stunning venue built for champions".

UEFA ripping off footie fans Fans will have to pay £176 for the cheapest ticket for this season's Champions League final, at Wembley on May 28th. The "category three" tickets cost £150 plus an administration fee of £26. However, for fans of the clubs involved in the final, the cheapest tickets will be priced at about £80. Uefa's director of competitions, Giorgio Marchetti, said the prices were in line with comparable events such as the World Cup final. He said: "We don't think that the Champions League final is overpriced.”
