Speed curbs to cut oil bill p3
Government introduces energy savings package - speed limit cut from Monday 7th, highway lighting halved
Middle East - World News
Libya on the brink British prime minister David Cameron and other Western leaders were yesterday on the brink of ordering military action against Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, amid fears he would use chemical weapons against his own people. Mr Cameron told MPs that the world could not stand by and that Britain and her allies were considering using fighter jets to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, patrolling and shooting down Libyan aircraft attacking protesters. The Pentagon announced that America was “repositioning
forces” around Libya, and the French announced they would back a possible military intervention with Nato partners. It is believed that Gaddafi has up to 14 tons of chemicals needed to create mustard gas, stored in secret secure facilities in
the desert. The vast majority of Britons have now been evacuated and the evacuation of foreign nationals was expected to be largely completed yesterday (Tuesday). Britain has announced emergency plans to freeze the regime's assets in
The situation on Libya's border with Tunisia had reached crisis point on Tuesday, as tens of thousands of foreigners fled the chaotic situation there.

ICKHAM’S
WORLD What a busy weekend!
By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
On Saturday morning we went with a friend to the over 50s exhibition in Torremolinos. unfortunately, we only found out about it ourselves on Friday afternoon due to the glaring lack of publicity but off we went and it was quite good as it turned out. There were quite a few health related stands (to do with blood pressure, hearing difficulties etc.) but there were also a few in respect of holidays and cruising that were very interesting and on the ground floor of the hall were some jewellery, ethnic clothing and food stalls. The stallholders were bemoaning the fact that very few Brits were turning up and contemplating whether it would be worth having a stall at any future events. Organisers take note then - if you want Brits to know about something and turn up – you have to let them know that it's on! let us know what you've got coming up and we can let over 50,000 people know each week. call 952 454 491 and speak to one of us or email info@thenewsonline.es On Saturday evening we attended a retirement 'do' at the Tamisa Hotel for a fabulous lady called Georgina Shapiro. Georgie, as everyone calls her, has been the owner of the Jacaranda care Home in Alhaurin de la Torre. One of our girl’s dad stayed there for a while when he was over here and, when the time came to go back to the uK, he seriously didn't want to leave such was the standard of care he had received. So, good luck Georgie with whatever you do from all of us here at The news.

Libya on the brink Reporters at the scene said aid workers were unable to cope, with new refugees pouring in as quickly as others crossed over. A spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Melissa Fleming, said 70,00075,000 people have fled to Tunisia since violence began in Libya on February 20th. About 2,000 people are crossing into Tunisia every hour but once in Tunisia many of them have nowhere to go. Another 20,000 are said to be backed up on the Libyan side. Most are Egyptian, but there are also significant numbers of Chinese and Bangladeshis. Meanwhile, reports were coming in that Muammar Gaddafi was attempting to regain control of rebel areas in western Libya even as he told told Western journalists his people loved him, denying reports of protests in Tripoli. In an interview, Gaddafi accused Western countries of abandoning Libya and said that they had no morals and wanted to colonise the country. Asked if he would resign, he said he could not step down as he did not have an official position - and insisted that the power in the country was with the people. He also said true Libyans had not demonstrated but those who had come on to the streets were under the influence of drugs supplied by Osama Bin
Laden's al-Qaeda network. He said those people had seized weapons and that his supporters were under orders not to shoot back. After the interview, the US ambassador to the UN Susan Rice said the fact he was laughing at questions while "slaughtering his own people" showed that he was disconnected from reality.
Prime Minister José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has obtained promises of hefty investments during his visit to Qatar on Sunday and the United Arab Emirates on Monday.
In other developments: -Austria has frozen assets of the Libyan leadership worth 1.2bn and Germany has frozen the bank account of one of Col Gaddafi's sons
The latter recently bought the Cepsa petrol company for 4.8 billion dollars and invested 3.9 billion in Spain in 2009. The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheik Mohamed bin Zayed al Nahyan, told the PM that his country will contribute €150 million to the capitalization of the country's savings bank, as well as contracts for €1.4 billion with Spanish companies.
-There are reports of long queues in Tripoli banks as people tried to collect the 500 dinars (£250) promised by the government in an attempt to quell the unrest -Protesters took to the streets in the Gulf state of Oman for a third day on Monday to call for political reforms. The new protests came a day after Oman's ruler Sultan Qaboos bin Said promised to create more jobs. Until now, Oman had mostly been spared the unrest which has affected other Arab states in recent months. The oldest independent state in the Arab world, Oman has been ruled by Sultan Qaboos since he seized power from his father, Sultan Said bin Taimur, in 1970.
WEATHER WEATHER
The PM has been criticised for visiting two countries ruled by authoritarian monarchies, just as other Arab countries are trying to throw off the yoke of dictatorships. Sr Zapatero justified the visits, saying he was trying to diversify the Spain's supply sources of oil. If the situation does not worsen, Sr Zapatero is due to visit Tunisia on Wednesday together with Defence Minister Trinidad Jimenez but this had not been confirmed at press time.

Measures to lower energy bill announced The government responded to rising oil prices with a flurry of measures over the weekend. On Friday the Cabinet approved the temporary reduction of the speed limit on 8,800 kilometres of national highways from 120 kph to 110 kph, which will reduce the country’s oil bill by €1.5 billion a year, according to the Industry Ministry. Another measure will reduce fares on local train services by five per cent to encourage more people to use them. The mixture of biodiesel in fuel will also be raised from 5.8 per cent to seven per cent, which will knock another €160 million a year off the oil bill. Spain imports more than 80 per cent of its energy, just under a quarter of it from Libya. Last year the total oil bill was €25.5 billion, an increase of 40 per cent over the previous year. The measure will mean replacing 6,000 traffic signals throughout the

Highway lighting halved On Sunday, public works minister Jose Blanco announced a cut of 50% of the lighting on national highways, which would produce a saving of €12.6 million a year. Industry minister Miguel Sebastian said critics of the measures should bear in mind that
the government campaign to replace conventional light bulbs with low consumption ones has saved enough electricity to light every home and street in a city the size of Seville. The government gave free low consumption bulbs to more than 22 million households in 2009 and 2010. Meanwhile, the Spanish Highway Association (AEC) has said that reducing the lighting on highways could be dangerous be cause it may cause very serious accidents. The criticism

Arms theft an inside job Police and Defence Ministry sources have said that the five or six men who stole 20 assault rifles and 10 pistols from the arsenal at the General Menacho military base in Badajoz on Sunday had help from an insider. They categorically denied any involvement by the Basque terrorist group ETA, or any other terrorist group. One hypothesis is that it was the work of an organised criminal gang of Albanians or other eastern Europeans. Another is that it was the work of a group of Spaniards
with Portuguese criminals, given the closeness of the border with Portugal. The Guardia Civil is also on the trail of a group with similar characteristics who are based in Extremadura and Andalucia. An alarm on the double fence
surrounding the base went off at 10.30 pm but the soldiers who went to investigate saw nothing out of the ordinary. A police source said that small animals frequently triggered the alarms on the fence. The second alarm
went off two hours later, this time inside the base. A security patrol found the arsenal door had been forced and a military vehicle had apparently been used to transport the arms to the fence where they were transferred to another vehicle.

Protest against airport changes Some 5,000 airport workers, union representatives, firemen and technicians marched from Atocha railway station to the Puerta del Sol in Madrid last Saturday to protest against the planned privatisation of the capital's Barajas airport and Barcelona's El Prat airport. A spokesman for the General Workers Union (UGT) accused Public Works minister José Blanco of lying. “He told us a year ago that the privatisation would not be more than 30 per cent but now he's saying 49 per cent,” Raul Gomez said, adding “and it won't end there”. He also predicted that Palma de Mallorca and Malaga airports would be the next ones to be privatised, and more would follow. He said Sr Blanco would get his “propaganda machine” to blame the workers for “kidnapping the airports” the excuse the minister used to make the privatisation decision during the air controllers strike last December. The airport workers have threatened to go on strike
during Easter week if the government does not “rectify its idea of privatising the Airports Authority which manages Spain's airports”. Meanwhile, the air controllers' union agreed after talks ended on Sunday to accept a cap on their salaries of €200,000 a year instead of €334,000 that many had been earning with overtime. In exchange they get a shorter
working day, with a gradual reduction from 1,670 hours this year to 1,595 in 2013.

Cigarette sales fall Tobacco sales have fallen by more than 32 per cent since the tougher anti-smoking law came into effect on January 2nd, according to figures from the Treasury's Tobacco Industry Commission. For the first time, the number of packets sold in one month dropped under the 200-million benchmark to 194,770,461 in January. The National Smoking Prevention Committee (CNPT) said the sharp drop could be due to the fact that many bars and restaurants have removed their cigarette vending machines CASTELLON
Death by slow poisoning The Guardia Civil have arrested a 54-year-old woman in Peñíscola, Castellón province, for allegedly poisoning her partner. She had been trying to claim his possessions, producing false documents to back her claim that she was legally married to him, after his death two weeks ago. Suspecting foul play, the Guardia ordered an autopsy which showed he had been ingesting small doses of a toxic substance which, they allege, the woman had been putting in his drinks until it finally killed him.

"This was not a moral decision, but a political one. The voice of France was no longer audible, because Michele Alliot-Marie had become the object of an unjust campaign." She will be replaced by defence minister Alain Juppe, 65, who previously served as foreign minister and prime minister in the 1990s. In 2004, he was convicted of mishandling public funds.
Just hours after the minister stepped down, Mr Fillon announced on Monday that France is to send two planes of aid to opposition territory in Libya: He told France's RTL radio: "In a few hours two French planes will leave for Benghazi on behalf of the French government with doctors, nurses, medical equipment and medicine." He added that it would be the start of a

Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie (pictured) has resigned amid controversy over her contacts with the former Tunisian regime. She came under heavy fire for initially offering French help to quell the uprising in Tunisia. Her position became increasingly untenable after subsequent revelations about her and her family's links to the regime of former President Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali, and the fact that she had taken a Christmas holiday in Tunisia during the uprising. Prime Minister Francois Fillon has insisted Ms Alliot-Marie had done nothing wrong. "She was not at fault," Mr Fillon said.

Baby thefts trial starts
FACTORY CLEARANCE!
Jorge Videla and Reynaldo Bignone, two of the members of the Junta which ruled Argentina from 1976-83, have gone on trial, accused of overseeing the systematic theft of some 30 babies from political prisoners. The parents were then killed or "disappeared". Six others, including exofficers and a doctor, are also on trial. More than 100 children are known to have been given for adoption to military or police couples. The defendants are charged with "taking, retaining and hiding minors and changing their identities". The trial is focusing on the fate of at least 34 children who were born to mothers being held in the two main prisons used during military rule,
the Naval Mechanics School, or Esma, and the Campo de Mayo military base. The case came to trial mainly due to the efforts of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo human rights group, who have campaigned to find out what happened not only to their children but also their grandchildren. Videla, 85, has already been sentenced to life after being found guilty of crimes against humanity, while Bignone, 83, was given 25 years in jail
last April after being convicted of human rights abuses. Human rights groups say 30,000 people died or disappeared during what became known as the Dirty War, and that at least 400 children were "stolen". The Grandmothers have identified dozens of children of people who disappeared during this time, but some of them have said they would rather not know their origins, especially if the information implicates their adoptive parents in illegal acts.

News Big queues to Places to visit while on e Rock get in on Monday With all the shops in Spain closed for Andalucia Day on Monday, long queues were the order of the day for getting into Gibraltar, sparking off fresh protests from La Linea Town Hall. Spokesman Minister Maria Teresa Garcia Mellado of La Linea said that “the queues on Monday should give pause to the government.” She said that wealth was being left in the British Colony (all Gibraltar shops were open on Monday) and the only thing that La Linea gets is pollution and damage to the roads caused by the heavy traffic. “All this happens a few days before the Minister of
Public Works, Jose Blanco, meets with officials of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces to discuss issues of movement, energy saving and pollution from vehicles,” she said. A long tailback took hours to get in and out of the Rock which was full of Spanish visitors as well as British. However, local Spanish workers later called on the Town Hall asking them to stop affecting relations with Gibraltar because of the impact for Spanish workers with employment on the Rock.

A memorial service for Hilary Wines, the former Liberal Democrat Mayor of Southwark was held in Gibraltar at the weekend attended by well known UK Liberal MP Simon Hughes who was a personal friend. During his vist, the MP, who is the third senior Lib
Dem to visit the Rock, told local Liberal Party Leader Dr Joseph Garcia that more visits by Senior Lib Dems from the coalition Government are planned. They also talked about the Western Beach's polution problems and the fact that Spanish Guardia Civil vessels have been straying into Gibraltar waters.

When people think Gibraltar they more often than not think – apes. But Gibraltar is home to a wealth of plant life - palms and jacaranda, lavender and jasmine, clematis, honeysuckle, geraniums and bougainvillea live side by side with many rarer species including two, Gibraltar Candytuft and Gibraltar Sea Lavender, named after the Rock itself. Great efforts are continuously made to ensure that the Rock's natural environment is kept as unspoilt and beautiful for future visitors as it is today. A large area of the upper rock has been designated as a nature reserve and Gibraltar's famous public park, the Alameda Gardens, has recently been transformed into a new botanical garden to rival the best in the world. Opened in 1816, adjacent to a historic parade ground, the Alameda Gardens present a magnificent botanical collection. Mediterranean pines and olive trees form a canopy along with Dragon Trees and palms from the Atlantic Islands. Beds display flora, cacti and succulent plants from far off sub-tropical places including South Africa, the

If, however, you're more interested in things military then the Gibraltar Museum is a must. It is centrally located within the City of Gibraltar, just one minute walking distance from the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St Mary the Crowned in Main Street and covers all aspects of the rock's military and natural history. Situated in Bomb House Lane, the Gibraltar Museum houses the bestpreserved Moorish Bath House in Europe. The Museum contains a rich collection of artefacts, weapons, medals,
costumes, coins and postage stamps, together with a magnificently detailed old model of the Rock, constructed by officers of the Royal Engineers in 1865. Of particular interest is the outstanding collection of natural history, with specimens presented against realistic backgrounds. A fifteenminute film showing the history of Gibraltar is included in the entrance price.The galleries cover a wide range of subjects, from the geological origins of the Rock in the Jurassic Period around 200 million years ago to the present day.
Next visit the Moorish Baths, one of the more unique rooms, which portrays the Islamic history of Gibraltar. View a large-scale model of the Rock in 1865 and compare it to the Rock of today. There is also a large collection of photographs displaying spectacular episodes of the North African operations during the Second World War, the construction of the naval dockyards or life in the nineteenth century. Not to be missed is the Great Siege of Gibraltar

UK News Wills and Kate Trips launch lifeboat to cost more
Prince William and Kate Middleton carried out their first public engagement together last week when they launched the new Treardurr lifeboat named “Endeavour”. The village in Anglesey, North Wales is known to the couple, who said they welcomed having been allowed to live in peace in recent months by the locals while Prince William is serving at RAF Valley, and that they wished to give something back to the community.
The boat's crew demonstrated some of the rescue capabilities to the couple and lifeboat station guests. Aubrey Diggle, the lifeboat's operations manager, said: "It's an honour to have Prince William and Miss Middleton at our naming ceremony. Naming a new lifeboat is always a special occasion for the charity where we can thank our supporters and fundraisers. Having the royal couple there will make the day even more memorable for the whole community."
Holiday operator Thomas Cook announced yesterday (Tuesday) that a £160 fuel charge will be levied on the cost of a long haul family holiday, because of rising oil prices. The company blamed a 40 per cent rise in the cost of plane fuel in a year for the £40 per person surcharge. The surcharge applies to journeys of more than seven hours, and will hit trips to the US and Australia. Short haul trips of less than three hours, mainly to Spain and Portugal, will cost a family of four an extra £60, or £15 per head. Those heading off on a middle distance flight to countries like Greece and Turkey will find that they will have to pay an extra £25 per person. The rises hit all holidays booked from yesterday. In the meantime petrol prices in the UK have topped £1.30 a litre for the first time.
Going to the 2012 Olympics? If you're thinking of buying tickets for the 2012 London Olympics, which have to be applied for from March 15th until April 26th, be aware that you will only be able to buy them with a Visa card – no other cards are being allowed. On top of that, if you do get a ticket and need to withdraw money from any of the ATMs in the stadia you will have to use either a Visa credit, debit or pre-paid card, again, no other cards will work. If you are successful in getting a ticket, payment will be taken between May 10th and June 10th but be aware that you are entering into a contract to purchase what you ask for so if you ask for 50, you'll be paying for fifty that you may not be able to sell on – rare but possible in today's economic climate. If you have a UK address certain retailers such as Boots, M&S and Tesco are offering 0% interest until April 2012 plus cashback on any purchases you make, so you could make money on the tickets as well. The AA is
touting a Visa Egg credit card which gives you reward points on anything you purchase, such as the tickets, and also double points on the fuel you put in your car while you're there. However, be aware that if you don't pay off the full amount before the due date or when the 0% interest rate runs out, they revert to their usual interest rates and you could end up out of pocket. Many cards give you good interest rates so it pays to shop around but, because of the restrictions Visa have confirmed that pre-paid Visa cards will be made available so, like you can top-up your prepay phone, you can do the same with a Visa card. Virgin offers one for as little as £9.95 that can
be pay-as-you-go that incurs a 2.95% transaction fee, or you can top up with a monthly amount. Why has this been allowed? Because Visa are the official sponsor of the games and this carries on until the summer Olympics of 2020. However, all is not lost as if you haven't already got a Visa card there are some really good interest rates being offered at the moment that you could take advantage of and still get your card before the tickets go on sale. If you do decide to get a prepaid card, you may want to hold onto it. Once the Games begin, Visa will be the only form of payment other than cash that will be accepted at Olympic venues.

How to beat those scam gas inspectors The increasing number of reports about irregular gas inspectors has forced the Junta de Andalucia to issue an alert about the companies active in the province, especially in Nerja and Marbella. These unofficial inspectors are targeting two vulnerable groups – old people and foreigners – and usually end up relieving their victims of between €200 and €300 for “maintainence” work that probably was not even
necessary. The News spoke to Repsol, the official maintenance company, which advises people not to let anyone claiming to be a gas inspector into their homes. Repsol said people
who have had one of their official inspections will receive a letter four years and nine months later, advising them that the next inspection is due in three months. The letter will give them a telephone number to ring to arrange an
appointment. “We never just turn up on your doorstep,” the Repsol spokesman said. In Malaga province, the inspection costs €61.03 (to be paid in cash) – a little more if a part has to be replaced, but the Repsol inspector will not
replace anything unnecessarily, the spokesman said. Many people have never had a Repsol check because they think the men that just turn up are official, and the spokesman advised them to get a proper Repsol

Spain’s only Miss Universe dies Actress Amparo Muñoz has died at her home in Malaga on Sunday after a long illness. She was 56. She won the Miss Costa del Sol and Miss Spain titles in 1973 and won the Miss Universe title the following year in the Philippines. However, she relinquished the title six months later after refusing to go to Japan. She took up acting and made several films, one of them with Carlos Saura, then Spain’s best known director. Ms Muñoz went to the Philippines in 1983 to attend the country’s film festival at the invitation of the then president, Ferdinand Marco. She stayed several years, but left the country before she was tried and sentenced to four years on a drugsrelated charge. She was again arrested in Barcelona in 1989 for possessing heroin, but was not sentenced. By then, the media had learned of her drug addiction and
Most wanted arrested in Malaga The National Police have arrested one of the UK’s most wanted criminals – Dean Lawrence Rice – in Alhaurin just two days after his picture appeared in the media last week as part of the latest Crimestoppers campaign. Rice, 49, a native of Exeter, had been sentenced to life in 2006 for kidnapping one of his former employees. While on the run, he had also used the aliases Dean Borton and Steven Greenfield. He had been living as a recluse and barely left his house, but was recognized after his photo was published. The Special Response Group against Organized Crime stormed his house and arrested him on February 23rd. Rice was the second wanted criminal to be apprehended in 48 hours after publication of the list of Britain's 10 Most Wanted. Dutchman Everardus Wijtvliet,jailed for drugs offences, was captured on Tenerife.

Overdue acknowledgement

D
uring last week's celebrations of the failed coup 30 years ago, Speaker José Bono had the guts to refer to one aspect of those long ago events which a lot of people – especially the Socialists – have preferred to ignore – the vile treatment dished out to Adolfo Suarez, which was one of the factors that led him to resign just three weeks before the coup attempt on February 23rd, 1981. Suarez was glaringly absent last week, because he's suffered from Alzheimer's for several years and can't even remember he was once the prime minister.
T
ogether with King Juan Carlos, Suarez dismantled the Franco regime, introduced many necessary political reforms and led the country into its first free post-dictatorship election, which he won. He then oversaw the drafting of the new Constitution, which was accepted by the people in a referendum held on December 6th, 1978.
T
he worst of the post-Franco years appeared to be over and that's when Suarez seemed to lose his way. There were still many aspects of Spanish life – legal and social – that needed to be reformed but Suarez just didn't seem to know what to do with the democracy he had helped to bring into the world. And the attacks came from all corners – from his own party as well as the Socialists, who had the smell of an election victory in their nostrils and wanted Suarez out of the way so that the election could be held even earlier than slated. Suarez's own party was a mish-mash of centre-right and centre-left Christian Democrats and Liberals who all felt they could govern better than he did. Overthrowing the government seemed to be the only way to dislodge Suarez from power so many politicians tacitly supported the military who were known to be planning a coup.
M
eanwhile, Suarez was treated with utter contempt by the likes of former PM Felipe Gonzalez, which is why José Bono got up in Parliament last week to regret the “pitiless” and “horrible” criticisms of the man “we would love to have here with us to acknowledge the courageous way he behaved during those terrible hours”. He said: “I am speaking in recognition of the worth of a man who cannot defend himself, cannot speak and who deserves our loudest applause this afternoon”.
Election ploy
O
f course, Bono might have been laying the ground for his own shot at the top spot. Everyone is talking openly of who will succeed Zapatero – who is not expected to run for re-election next year. Deputy PM and interior minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba was a shoo-in, until the Partido Popular revived the scandal known as the Faisan case.
Adolfo Suarez
Faisan was the name of the bar where ETA sympathisers regularly picked up the money that had been collected for the terrorist group – some of it from “friends” but most of it from the “revolutionary tax” charged to Basque businessmen. “You pay this tax and we won't bomb your company or kill you or your family”. The security forces were about to raid the bar in early May 2006, hoping to catch the sympathisers red-handed, but the owner had been tipped off and warned them to stay away. The tip-off could only have come from someone inside the security forces or the interior ministry, which was in charge of the operation. Rubalcaba was interior minister at the time and didn't help matters by refusing all of the PP's demands for an “exhaustive investigation”. Rubalcaba is the man the PP is most afraid of, hence the revival of the Faisan case.
T
he other name being bandied about as Zapatero's successor is that of José Bono who lost the party leadership to him by nine votes at the party's annual meeting in September 2000. Bono, like Rubalcaba, says he does not aspire to the post but his recent utterings seem to indicate that he is trying to win over moderate Socialists – some three and a half million of whom are reportedly planning not to vote for Zapatero or any of his minions like public works minister José Blanco, who played a vital role in swinging the vote in favour of Zapatero in 2000.
T
hen we have defence minister Carme Chacon, who has hinted she may be interested in running in a primary to select her boss's successor. The biggest drawback here is that she's Catalan and the Catalans always put Catalonia above Spain. I doubt that many Spaniards would vote for a Catalan as PM but if they did, they would bitterly regret it. I think Spain is ready for a woman PM but a likely candidate does not immediately jump to mind.
H
owever, we have to get the municipal elections out of the way first – and the Socialists are really running scared, especially as it looks as if the PP may snatch Andalucia from them. But more about that next week.
I
t is impossible to present a plan in this country without some outlandish backlash of criticism. The other night I was listening to a journalist speak during a television panel debate about the government’s proposal that goes into effect on Monday to reduce the speed limit on highways from 120 kph to 110 kph. She complained that she had grown tired with prime minister Zapatero’s paternalistic government telling her what she can or cannot do. It reminded me of former Prime Minister José María Aznar’s similar gripe a few years back when the health ministry decided to order a popular US fast food chain to pull a calorie-filled, multi-layer burger for nutritional reasons. Aznar said that if he wanted to eat a burger high in fat and carbohydrates he should be able to do so without anyone telling him that he could not. As whacky or confusing as some laws may be, governments must enforce the rules and the citizens are obliged to obey them.
T
he jury is still out in my courtroom as to where this new speed limit law is going. Last Friday, the Cabinet decided to lower the maximum limit on highways as well as order a five per cent reduction in fares on all Renfe short- and middle-distance commuter trains in a bold effort to reduce energy consumption. The measures were announced as the nation prepares to deal with the impact from the soaring cost in oil prices fuel by the unrest in Libya . Drivers' associations say reducing the speed limit could cause more accidents on highways – another argument that I am not sure I understand. The Popular Party was quick to point out that the last person to change the speed limits was Franco during the Arab oil crisis of the 1970s. Other critics believe that the reduction is nothing more but a secret strategy for the government to generate more money by increasing traffic fines. It is difficult to understand how driving 10 kph less will save energy but apparently the Cabinet has on staff technicians who study these things.
G
asoline and diesel fuel prices in Spain are among the lowest in Europe but at the same time motorists here are some of the most abusive compared to the rest of the continent. In France, taxes make up 70 per cent of what you pay at the pump. When comparing the numbers of road fatalities, Spain ranks the fifth highest among European Union members.
(Although fatalities are down from 8,837 in 1991 to 4,442 in 2005, according to a European Commission report issued in 2007.) Germany, with no limits on its highways, ranks first in the number of motor vehicle deaths. Driving slower may not save as much as €1.5 billion in oil exports, as the government stresses, but it will save lives.
I
f the Socialist administration really wants Spaniards to cutback on fuel consumption it should take even bolder steps such as hiking taxes on fuel and on the purchase of new vehicles (something it won’t do because it would mean that the beleaguered car dealerships will take more beatings); push to convince communities such as Madrid and Barcelona to begin charging fees for motorists entering the city; and educate citizens about the need to use environmentally friendly public transport systems.
S
paniards love their vehicles and it is going to take a lot of effort, and laws, to convince them not to take them out of the garage regularly. Many, of course, believe that such measures should not apply to them and will continue to carrying on in a rebellious mode. When people act like children, then maybe it is time that the government needs to step in and act like a parent.
Doggy bag shortage
E
ver since the private company that provided Madrid dog owners free plastic bags to pick-up after their pets went broke earlier this year, there has been a massive shortage of sacks throughout the city. The local government has installed small dispensers at some sidewalk trash bins, but these are scarce. You have to look to find them and then hope that there are bags available. Some owners are taking more than their share, completely emptying the dispensers and leaving others to fend for themselves. Some enterprising groups are going around different parks, selling them at five cents per bag. The consequences are evident: sidewalks are a lot messier, pedestrians are barking at all pet owners, including the ones that clean up after dogs, and then there are the many dog lovers who refuse to comply with the law because they decline to hunt down the dispensers that in many cases are located far from their usual dog parks. There has to be better solutions.

world until the final service takes place some 35 hours later in neighbouring Western Samoa. By then the day will have been celebrated in over 170 countries.” Although organised and led by women, this is a day of prayer for everybody as women demonstrate their solidarity with their sisters and brothers in other countries, and all are welcome to attend.

final part I have heard of two methods of stopping cats scratching wallpaper other than simply covering it. One is to bang in long nails into the wall above the scratches, and hang bits of string down so that the cat have to push their claws through the string. They don’t like this but then it’s not so good for the wall either! The second method is to get double sided sticky tape or wire netting or Prickler wall strips and put these on the floor, where the cat’s back legs are while it scratches. (You can’t really put this on the wall!) Thus the cat won’t be able to stand in the place and therefore cannot scratch. Remember to provide an alternative scratching area otherwise it will just scratch on wallpaper elsewhere. SCRATCHING OUTSIDE DOORS Cats scratch outside doors to get our attention. We then let them in. So scratching outside a door trains humans very well indeed. The only possible way to stop this will be stop rewarding the scratching, ie. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. It will take two to three weeks minimum for the cat to learn that scratching doesn’t pay off. I have to say that I don’t think I could manage this, because I would weaken. This is going to take so much human self control that it will be difficult to manage. If it really matters to you, then buy some transparent thick plastic from a DIY store - the kind that covers carpets on heavily used walking areas. Tack this down in front of the door where the cat
scratches. Then place double sided sticky tape on top of the plastic. Cats don’t like sticky surfaces. You could put tape directly on the carpet, if you are sure it won’t damage the carpet. A Cats Protection League supporter came up with the idea to attach to the bottom of the door a flap of wood/plastic on a piano hinge which folds upwards and is kept up with some kind of turnbuckle. When the flap is up, you can move the door. But when you are shutting the door, you let down the flap so that it covers the carpet next to the door – ie the cat will not have a carpet area to scratch. A secondary flap from the main flap turns outward to protect the area just at the side of the door, if needed. Strange.... but true! WALKING ON MANTLEPIECES ETC. To stop cats walking on
mantlepieces, make seesaws from pencils and cardboard sheet. Booby trap one end with empty beer cans. The idea is to make the pencil the fulcrum with the cardboard on top of it. Cats dislike unstable surfaces. The beer cans are there so that they fall off with a clatter when the cat jumps on the other end of the cardboard. Or try putting cooking foil along the mantlepiece. Cats dislike walking on it.

Wayne Hockenhull / Kelly Thirlwell Readers are well aware of the problems faced by our local animal charities and ‘protectores’ in dealing with abandoned animals and finding new homes for them so we are very pleased to be able to share with you the news of a very important inititative. The Director of El Paraiso Municipal pound, Manuel Tovar, with the support of the Alhaurin de la Torre Town Hall is introducing a special neutering programme aimed
Pat Coleman FAMA the Foundation for Abandoned and Mistreated Animals would like to let all your readers know that we will be hosting the first of our Ladies Lunch and Fashion Shows for this year on Friday 11th March in Los Boliches.
at helping animal charities rehome abandoned animals. El Paraiso has opened its doors to the animals from the closed down Parque de Animales in Torremolinos, and charities have already visited to see if they can help by taking some and finding them homes throughout Europe. Snr. Tovar knows that one of the main costs facing cashstrapped charities is that of neutering and as part of his efforts at El Paraiso to rehome
C.H.A.I.N. as many animals as possible, he is to work with outside agencies to neuter animals free of charge. This means that representatives of the various charities can visit El Paraiso to identify which animals they can rehome without having to worry about finding the funds to pay for neutering them. This is early days but a very welcome step for all of us who, with El Paraiso, are so involved in animal welfare
FAMA The fashion show starts at 12.00 noon and is accompanied by a three course lunch including a nice glass of wine for € 18.00 per person. These popular events are well organised and very enjoyable

Goodbye Georgie! Most of the 88 known constellations take a great deal of imagination to make out what they are meant to represent but there are a few of them that do actually resemble their namesake. And at this time of the year there are three of the signs of the Zodiac that can easily be identified. Taurus, Gemini and Leo do look a bit like what they are supposed to be; a bull, a set of twins and a lion.
A party was held by one of the Costa’s great ladies last Saturday. Georgina Shapiro, dressed for the evening in a beautiful black taffeta gown with matching shrug, has retired from running the Jacaranda Care Home in Alhaurin el Grande to return to the UK to be with her husband Tony and her family. The event was held at the Tamisa Hotel where guests were greeted with glasses of champagne and canapes of wantons, tiny spring rolls and all manner of delicious delicacies. On entering the dining room Peruvian harpist Alex Espinola played some wonderful music while we dined on a sumptuous three course meal. Speeches followed with tributes from many quarters testifying to her achievments during the time she has lived on the Costa del Sol. Apart from being at the helm of Jacaranda, Georgie was the founder member of Age Care. She realised that contact for the elderly was almost nil here and set up a branch of Age Care that has been in constant demand ever since and she has been
Pictured left: Tony & Georgina Pictured right: Iain & Martina its President for the last seven years. Georgie has also been involved in MABS, the cancer support group, in recent years and has been a godsend to many people who have found themselves, or a loved one, facing the disease. And just in case you thought she hadn’t got enough to do, Georgie also helped with the Diabetic Support Group and the Royal British Legion! Well known actress and songstress Polly Perkins sang “Georgia On My Mind” and a very fitting, specially adapted “I Am What I Am”. This was followed by an hilarious specially written Twelve Days of Springtime to the tune of the Twelve Days
of Christmas from the Costa Chordbusters with such things as 9 zimmer frames, 8 bed pans and a bandage for a sore knee, each day being sung by a different table! A disco followed for everyone to burn off a few calories. The whole evening was a great tribute to a great lady who will be missed by so many on the coast. Georgie(pictured above left with husband Tony) was delighted to reveal that Martine and Iain Sands (on the right of the picture) are to take over Jacaranda, and they will be keeping up the excellent standard of care in the future that Jacaranda is renowned for.
If you want to find them yourself then first of all locate one of the most well known and recognisable constellations, Orion. Orion looks like a huge hour glass or bow tie shape with three stars very close together in a straight line marking ‘the belt’ of the hunter. Follow the line of the belt up and to the right and you will see a bright red coloured star called Aldebaran. Aldebaran is about 65 light years away from us and is a huge star almost 100 times bigger than the Sun; it marks the red eye of the bull as it bears down upon Orion. You should be able to make out the two stars to the left of Aldebaran that form a ‘V’ shape; these are the horns of the bull. If you have binoculars try sweeping the area around Aldebaran and you will see thousands of stars all very close together and known as the Hyades cluster. Now go back to Orion and follow a line from the right hand star in the belt through the red star in the left hand corner of Orion (Betelgeuse) and carry on a bit further until you come to two reasonably bright stars quite close
together. These are Castor and Pollux, the twin brothers in Gemini. The bodies of the twins are made from stars that form two faint lines heading back toward Orion. Castor and Pollux look about the same brightness as each other but in fact are nowhere near each other. The lower of the two, Pollux, is 34 light years away while the upper one, Castor, is 52 light years away. Both Castor and Pollux are not single stars but instead each has a companion star orbiting around it. Any aliens living on a planet going around these two would have not one but two suns in their skies. There are two ways to find Leo; either carry on to the left of Gemini or easier is to locate the saucepan shape of seven stars The Plough or Great Bear. At the moment The Plough is standing up on its ‘handle’ with the ‘bowl’ of the saucepan uppermost. The two top stars in the bowl are known as the pointers because if you follow a line to the left from them they point to the North Star. But if you follow the line of the pointers to the right instead you will come across a group of stars that look like a reversed question mark or sickle shape. This is the head of the lion with its body stretching back toward the horizon. It is meant to resemble the Lion in Trafalgar Square lying down with its head held high. The brightest star at the base of the ‘Question Mark’ is known as Regulus, the regal star. With a little imagination Leo really does look like a Lion! Try it for yourself and see what you think.

A fistful of film fantasy in Europe's only desert
Written by Andrea MacLean
The Coen Brothers remake of “True Grit”, the Western that originally starred John Wayne as the irascible Rooster Cogburn, made a surprise sprint for award glory at the Baftas and the Oscars.
T
he new version got best picture and acting nominations, including the best actor nod for Jeff Bridges, who made the iconic Wayne's role his own. In the end, the movie lost out at the ceremonies - but what it did do is remind us just what a big part the Western has had to play in film making history.
B
ut you don't have to go to America if you want to vist the badlands - head towards Almeria and turn inland and visit the most remarkable desert landscape in Europe where great movie stars and directors have produced some of the most important movies in the annals of Hollywood, collecting a trunkful of Oscars in their time.
A
nd if you want to play cowboy and live out the fantasy then you can, by visiting the famous old film locations left behind by one of the greatest directors of the famous spaghetti
Westerns, Sergio Leone. he Mini-Hollywood sets are located in the curiously beautiful socalled Desert of Tabernas but in fact there is a "golden triangle" of Hollywood memories that takes in Almeria itself and the Cabo de Gato natural park. So if you are a movie buff this is the place to visit. And if you want the kids to have a great day, then it is a must-do.
T
L
eone had the equivalent of 120,000 euros back in 1964 when he made “For A Fistful of Dollars”. Nowadays that would not cover the cost of the leading actor's trailer for the shoot. And back then it forced the director to seek out the cheapest location he could find, and hire the little known actor Clint Eastwood to play the Man With No Name. MiniHollywood was built inland near Tabernas in 1965 and the rest is history.
T
he movie was a hit and became the first of a famous trilogy - all filmed among the twisted gulches and dried up river beds of Spain's desert. But Almeria's desert has doubled not just for Arizona. It represented the Middle East for “Cleopatra”, and David Lean - with a rather bigger budget of $20 million shot scenes for the Oscar winning “Lawrence of Arabia” in the area. Other scenes were shot at Cabo de Gato, and the train bombing scene was filmed with the help of locomotives and rolling stock bought from RENFE, using tracks laid on the beach.
O
ver the years the golden triangle has played host to more than 400 movies and has brought an array of famous stars to the area. The Nicolas Salmeron Park in Almeria was the setting for George C Scott's entry into Palermo in the Oscar winning
“Patton: Lust for Glory”. More than 600 locals were used as extras in the film, about the exploits of General George S Patton and the city's cathedral square was used to film allied troops at Messina.
A
lmeria's Alcazaba, one of the largest Moorish buildings in Spain, has been a popular location. Sean Connery played Bond here for the last time in 1983 in “Never Say Never Again”, and returned a few years later as Harrison Ford's father in “Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade”. Some scenes were shot too at Cabo de Gato, which has also played host to movies including “Conan The Barbarian” and Stephen Spielberg's “Empire Of The Sun”. And of course John Lennon famously spent time in the area on location for Richard Attenborough's “Oh What a Lovely War!”
S
o there are plenty of opportunities to walk
in the footsteps of the famous. But of course it is at the Western film location turned tourist attraction that you can actually pretend just for a moment that you are Anthony Quinn or Eli Wallach, or wearing the dusty poncho of Clint himself. Head inland via Nijar or Tabernas to MiniHollywood, hire a horse, or take a buggy ride, wander up to Boot Hill and push your way through the saloon doors. There are usually two staged gun fight shows each day with cowboys brawling and gunmen leaping to safety or clutching their chests and dying theatrically. Over the years Mini-Hollywood has added a picnic area, a swimming pool and a small zoo, should the kids want a break.
N
earby are two more sets Texas Hollywood and Western Leone - which are still working locations but also offer Mexican villages, an
Indian village with wigwams and their own shows, so there is plenty to see and do.
A
nd you can fit in some shopping. Head to the little Almerian town of Nijar (yes, it rhymes with yee hah) and take a look at the town's many little pottery workshops tucked into the narrow streets pottery is a craft dating back to Moorish times. The town is also famous for its jarapas - the multicoloured hard-wearing cotton covers and rugs. They hang from every balcony and are piled high in the shops and come in all sizes from bathmat to large sitting room carpet.
S
o, if your fantasy has ever been to be a movie star then live it in Almeria's film making triangle. Contact www.uniquealmeria.com/mini-hollyw ood for more information about the cowboy sets.

Ann Read and Bev Sheehan’s last exhibition in Coin in 2007 was such a success that they were asked to repeat it in 2009 but were unable at that time to do so. However, the Ayuntamiento in Coin didn’t give up and they have been asked to hold another this year. The fantastic standard of work from these two photographers will be on
show at the Convento Santa Maria de la Encarnacion in Calle de las Cercanias de Santa Maria, Coin, from tomorrow Thursday March 3rd until April 27th and is well worth a visit. The exhibition, entitled “Through The Eyes Of Two Women II”, will be open daily from 10am until 1.30pm and from 5pm to 8pm Monday to Friday.

You will have a good laugh, the bar will be open and you will be supporting a good cause while having a good time. Unlike most other theatres, the Salon Varietes is not supported by public funds, just the box office and the efforts of a group of dedicated and hard-working players and behind the scenes people. The theatre is a focal point and social centre for the English-speaking in Costa
del Sol and if it closed it would be sorely missed. So come along, laugh, sing and have a good time.

Exhibition by two artists The husband and wife team of AIA group artists, painter Roger Cummiskey and textile artist Dolores, jointly exhibit a selection of their works in Fuengirola
reflecting his words in watercolour. Dolores will exhibit some of her delicately executed cross stitching based on Spanish and international themes.
The exhibition started yesterday (Tuesday) and will run until April 26th, open daily between 12-4 and 7-11 pm, except Sundays when it is closed.
The AIA-Group was formed six years ago by professional and dedicated visual artists from around the world, who are all living and working in Andalucía.
Roger’s paintings are themed on the writings and wanderings of the author James Joyce and consist of quotations and poems

First night success The first night round in the Buzby’s talent competition was a roaring success with two young ladies going straight through to the final in three weeks time. Clara and Nicol, both just 15-years-old, had stunning voices and beat off the competition to earn their places. Boozer Cruiser are supplying the prizes for the raffle, all proceeds of which will be going to the Malaga
orphanage. Next week’s judges will be our own The News Editor plus well known performer Rob Stevens. There are still places if you think you can sing solo or are a group, so why not pop along next Sunday at 8:30pm to see what new talent we have on the Costa and meet Mad Terry and his friendly team.

Just go with it
Yes it’s worthy, but...
By Amy Thomas
BY DENNIS DUGAN Starring Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler
email: editorial@thenewsonline.es
A rom-com with a plot built around a series of deceptions, this was a box office hit in the US despite some stinging reviews. Adam Sandler plays Danny, a Californian cosmetic surgeon who is single, who finds that for some reason women find him hugely attractive if he poses as an unhappily married man. So for 20 years he has had a string of one night stands and walked away with no recriminations, but now he has met "the one". Of course, he has to maintain the deception with the new girl in his life, and so Danny persuades his faithful asssistant Katherine, a single mother-of-two (Aniston) to pose as his estranged wife and family. But guess what - keeping the lie going isn´t as easy as it seemed, and the plan starts to backfire, the kids
get caught up in the scam, and everyone ends up in Hawaii for a weekend break that will change all their lives. Nicole Kidman pops up here as
Katherine's best friend nice job if you can get it. So, not too many prizes for guessing how the story ends. And for older cinema goers the plot may sound
vaguely familiar. In which case think of the French play transferred to Broadway where it was a big hit, and later made into a movie called Cactus Flower with Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman and Goldie Hawn. Hawn won a best supporting actress Oscar for her role in this comedic confection - but Aniston and co need not bother clearing any space on the mantle piece because it ain't going to happen. So, maybe track down the "original". Or give this very loose remake a whirl if you are a Sandler - Aniston fan. Critics noted that the chemistry was there between the two leads...maybe a better script will pop up down the line.

And the Razzie Star Trek back goes to... on track? Speaking of Aniston she inevitably featured in the pre-Oscar Razzie celebrations for Hollywood's worst output and found herself nominated in the worst actress category. But oh dear, where did it all go wrong for director M Night Shyamalan, who managed to pretty well sweep the board with The Last Airbender.The man who kicked off his career with the sublime Sixth Sense has been slipping downhill since. Airbender picked up Razzies for worst picture, worst director, worst screenplay and worst eyegouging mis-use of 3D. Ashton Kutcher picked up worst actor while the Sex and The City gals did not
The 2009 reboot of Star Trek did great box office businesss and scored with fans but the sequel has been long awaited. Director JJ Abraham said as recently as a month ago that he still did not have a script, which put a big question mark against its proposed June 2012 release.

But Simon "Scotty" Pegg has now tweeted that word from the Bridge is that there is now an amazing script in existence. All the key stars - including Pegg, Chris Pine (Kirk ) and Zachary Quinto (Spock) are all signed up so it looks like they may be hitting warp speed very soon.

id you think “The King’s Speech” was Oscar worthy? Then again, answer me this, what won best picture last year? It’s sad, but true, that these new movies just aren’t very memorable – which is not a good thing.
was a lot spunkier and inspirational than Colin Firth’s portrayal gave him credit for, although any blame cannot be laid at Mr Firth’s door as he masterfully performed the material written for him.
I
I
don’t want to say that “The King’s Speech” was a bad movie, it wasn’t, but it was hardly a feel good movie or one that had any great quotes. It was a very adult biopic and while it tells a good story, well scripted, absorbing and believable (except for an odd line or two), Tom Hooper's film is far more driven by character than by plot.
N
ot so much a piece of entertainment than rather an interesting history lesson. Of course, lumping Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush together in a movie can only result in a vehicle chock full of fine acting performances, but I wonder if they were really Oscar worthy, or if the Acadamy did its usual gushing at anything “Royal” or that smacked of what they term “Masterpiece theatre”.
F
rom what I have been led to believe, King George
found the casting rather interesting, as an English actress played an American (Mrs Simpson), an American actress played an Australian and Australian actor Guy Pierce played King Edward, and very well cast he was!
J
ennifer Ehle, you may remember, played Elizabeth Bennett in the BBC’s 1995 production of Pride and Prejudice, opposite Colin Firth’s Darcy. The past fifteen years may have been kind to Firth’s career, but sadly not his looks – as his face somehow seems to collapse upon itself.
I
think one of my problems with this movie was that I found it to be a little slow and over long. I don’t know how they managed to drag it out for so long, I mean how much can you pad out a story about speech therapy? All in all though I am glad that it won Best Actor, Best Picture and Best Director. Rule Britannia!

Inspiration has found you and granted you a feeling of courage to tap into opportunities. Stability and certainty is slowly sinking into the depths of your being. Emotionally a sense of balance is returning allowing you to have an optimistic and confident outlook on your future. As you strive with the determination to make sweeping changes in your life, a new you rises from the ashes. Emotionally you have had a good spring clean – maybe the home could do with one too? Innovation mixed with determination is the key to the secret of your success this week. As Mars moves into Pisces you feel a sense of your dreams being delivered with punch into the real world. Do not ignore any crazy ideas you have at the moment as they may hold the solution to a problem that you have not been able to unravel. A solid framework is being built to put your life on a secure, solid and strong footing. Things may not turn out as you expected but in the end it will make perfect sense as to why they had to be the way they are. There is a method to the madness that has gone on and slowly you will start to see a vision turn into reality. If you keep your eye on the goal and keep your head focused on the game then eventually you will score a goal. This is a good time to get those priorities in order and remember to delegate other areas of your life so that you can keep those balls in the air. You have undergone a maturing process over the last eighteen months that has had the effect of strengthening and deepening your inner resources. The universe has asked a lot from you lately and there may still be some unresolved issues that hang around for a few weeks more. Gradually you will feel your energy rise again and you will be ready to fly. A new path is being laid before you and just when you think you have it all worked out, it changes, for the better. This is not the time to bend the rules or try to outsmart the opposition regardless of how you currently feel about things. You need to gather facts and take the traditional route on a matter. To be willing to treat others around you as equals will enable you to build your relationships into a more rewarding status. This is a time when passions are smouldering and you are determined to make a casual encounter a more integrated part of your life. The moment is coming when you will push beyond any insecurities that you have and let your light shine forth. A personal passion that you hold for something is rising up within you and tugging at your heart strings. You are fed up with being surrounded by negativity and although it has weighed you down and made you feel despondent lately, a stronger force is now rising up within that is not prepared to tolerate it any more.
LIBRA
Buckling down and getting on with a project is what is needed right now. There is a serious need to get things in order, handle responsibilities effectively, adhere to your duties and make your plans. All this is needed because you are due for some fast paced fun, so run your life this week as though it is coming up, start to create the space needed to be able to “play” September 23rd - next week. Socially you will be mingling and mixing with those who share nd October 22 your enthusiastic outlook.
SCORPIO
October 23rd November 21st
Love and romance are in the air but it isn’t just a shallow affair you are after, it is a deep friendship and trusting liaison that you are seeking, someone to share more than your pillow. So although socially and emotionally this is a fun-orientated week you are not tempted by brief encounters. Your immune system may have been a bit low lately and your emotions have taken a tumbling - pay attention to your diet and make sure you take adequate rest.
SAGITTARIUS Stop, look and listen and when you do you will realise that you have been working so hard to make things happen in your life, that when you take a breather and consolidate, how quickly what you have been looking for finds you. This week is all about taking things slower, taking time to reflect on the fast paced moments of the last few months. An inner calmness and sense of achievement nd November 22 - and balance is finding its way into your being. st December 21
CAPRICORN Your mind is fairly active and this can cause you to over-think problems and over-analyse events and people, leading to you feeling frustrated and tense What will work for you this week is to simply relax and go with the flow, water always finds the path of least resistance and the answers will reveal themselves. It is easy to get over-emotional at this time and it can be tempting to follow December 22nd others but in the long run you know there is a better way. January 19th

More patience is being asked of you, yet again. You are being asked to embrace this virtue for a while longer knowing that the outcome will be worth it - all good things do come to those that wait. So trust in those spaces where the unknown lives and you will slowly come to learn faith, hope and peace in the stillness that is created. Your powers of attraction are high and others will want to be around you - this could be a busy time for acquaintances and networking. You are feeling back in the game again after a period of wandering lost in the desert. A sense of destiny is felt within as a door that has been blocked suddenly swings open. Give it your best shot and your sincere efforts will make a huge difference. The universe is not going to let you sit there and “corrode” - you are the one with the imagination, innovation, originality and inspiration. The safe path does not always lend itself to your talents.
Kym’s Kitchen ...you don’t have to be a chef!
This recipe is amazingly easy because you can use a jar of pasta sauce if you can't be bothered to make it yourself - it’s also a bit different to the usual way of making the dish.
Potato Lasagne Ingredients: ● 1 jar pasta sauce of your choice ● 8½ fl oz milk ● 1½ kilo potatoes, peeled and sliced lengthwise about 1/8 inch thick ● 5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
● ½ teaspoon salt ● ½ teaspoon ground black pepper ● 225gr diced ham ● 230gr package chopped frozen broccoli, thawed ● 200gr grated cheese
Directions 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). 2. Lightly grease a 9 x13 inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pasta sauce and milk. Spread about 1/8 inch of the sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Then layer 1/3 of the potatoes over the sauce in the dish. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. 3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the ham, broccoli and 150gr of the cheese. Mix well and spread 1/3 of this mixture
over the potatoes in the baking dish. Then top with another layer of potatoes, followed by the ham mixture, finally topping all with the remaining cheese and Parmesan cheese. Pour the remaining pasta sauce over the top. 4. Cover and bake at 400º F / 200º C for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake at 350º F /175º C for additional 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove from the oven and let it stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving. ADVERTISING FEATURE

King Colin rules in Hollywood As Colin Firth stepped up to collect his best actor Oscar at the weekend TV viewers might have been forgiven for thinking he looked almost as youthful as in the days when he set hearts racing as the dashing Mr Darcy in the BBC's Pride and Prejudice. According to reports the new King of Hollywood, who won his award for his role in “The King's Speech”, has been testing a revolutionary beauty treatment that has the same effect as Botox but without the injections. The regime apparently costs a cool £500 a week and special cream is applied to the face and a pressured stream of oxygen pushes it into the skin, to plump it up and reduce wrinkles - all without the pain of needles.
The actor's wife Livia reportedly introduced him to the treatment and he also uses a special moisturiser made from white and green tea and fennel seed and a brown algae eye gel. So, if you want to knock a few years off the man in your life, send him to the Knightsbridge clinic that carries out the treatment. Livia Firth is a great supporter of eco-green measures and looked stunning on the red carpet wearing a dress that had been made from recycled
frocks from the very era that The King's Speech was set in. The movie scooped four of its 12 award nominations - best film, best actor, best director and best original screenplay. Natalie Portman, as predicted, won best actress for “Black Swan”, beating “The Kids Are All Right” star Annette Benning - the fourth time that Warren Beatty's wife has lost out at the Oscars. The other big winners were “The Social Network”, with three awards, and “Inception”, which picked up four technical awards.
While the cat's away.... Who would want to be at the heart of UK politics? Life's hard, and there's always a spin doctor somewhere briefing against you. Now there's a new Downing Street victim of an anonymous campaign casting doubt on his abilities to deliver the goods. Poor old Larry, the Downing Street cat, has apparently been asleep on the job since his arrival from Battersea Cats and Dogs Home a couple of weeks ago and has not been living up to his job

Instead the rescue tabby has been curling up for cosy naps but has been available for tummy tickling by prime minister David Cameron's children. Now though Downing Street insiders have leapt to Larry's defence. They have pointed out in counter briefings that he
has only just started the job, and anyway, it is far too soon for him to be let outside - expert advice is that cats should be kept inside their new homes for the first few weeks so they don t take fright and run away. Officals have said that Larry is settling into his new home and will be ready soon to fully take up his responsibilites.
Hollywood legend dies at 89 Hollywood sex symbol Jane Russell has died at her home in California, at the age of 89. She was discovered by the eccentric billionaire industrialist and movie producer Howard Hughes, who famously bought the
ailing RKO Studios as a vehicle for her. She was cast in his movie “The Outlaw” in 1943, and the actress’s sultry performance led censors to ban it for two years. She went on to star with Bob Hope in “The
Paleface” in 1948, and later starred with Marilyn Monroe in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”. She was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars in the 40s and 50s, and later appeared in television adverts.
Top designer sacked by Dior
Fashion briefs
British fashion guru John Galliano was yesterday (Tuesday) sacked as chief designer of Christian Dior after claims he made antisemitic remarks. Galliano, who has been creative director for the Paris-based firm for 14 years, had been suspended last week after allegedly launching an abusive attack on a couple sitting outside on a café terrace in the trendy Marais quarter of the city. It is home to top boutiques and bijou bars, and is the traditional Jewish quarter. But another video has now been made public in which Galliano appeared to abuse drinkers in a bar and declare “I love Hitler”. He also allegedly made a racist remark to someone

from the Indian subcontinent. Dior have ensured that legal measures will be taken to arrange for the 50year-old’s departure from the company as soon as possible, but his designs for Dior will still feature on the catwalk at this week’s Paris Fashion Show. Oscar winning actress Natalie Portman, the face of a Dior perfume, said this week that she was proud to be Jewish and would not associate with Galliano in any way. He has denied the charges and launched a counter claim for defamation. Making anti semitic remarks in France is punishable by up to six months in jail or a fine of 22,500 euros.
In the meantime Spanish fashion label Custo Barcelona has new plans to grow its penetration in the UK. The label was founded by brothers Custo and Damian Dalman in the late 80s and marked its 30th anniversary by recently opening its own flagship store in London's Brompton Road. The Custo range is already stocked by high street players like Harrods and House of Fraser and the plan is to launch a new range targeting younger, edgier customers. Custo traditionally aims at the 25 to 40 market and will now introduce new designs for the 18 to 35 age group.

Education reduces blood pressure Higher levels of education have been linked to lower levels of heart disease, and researchers at Brown University in the USA suggest that blood pressure could be the reason why, after analysing 30 years of data from 3,890 people. These were divided into three groups, low education (12 years or less), middle education (13 to 16 years) and high education (17 years or more), and the average systolic blood pressure for the 30 year period was then calculated. The researchers found that women with low education had a blood pressure 3.26 mmHg higher than those with a high level of education. In men the difference was
2.26 mmHg. Other factors, such as smoking, taking blood pressure medication and drinking, had been taken into account. The researchers concluded that low educational attainment predisposes individuals to high strain jobs, characterised by high levels of demand and low levels of control, which have been associated with elevated blood pressure.
A spokesman for the British Heart Foundation said the findings support existing evidence about the link between socioeconomic deprivation and
heart disease risk, adding that action is needed across all parts of society to give children the best possible start in life and reduce health inequalities.

Fake smile bad for you Faking a smile may be just another mundane aspect of work life, but new research suggests that putting on a game face to hide your inner unhappiness may have unexpected consequences: worsening your mood and causing you to withdraw from the tasks at hand.
found that on days when the smiles were forced, the subjects’ moods deteriorated and they tended to withdraw from work.
Researchers at Michigan State University tracked a group of bus drivers for two weeks, focusing on them because their jobs require frequent, and generally courteous, interactions with many people.
But on days when the drivers tried to display smiles through deeper efforts - by actually cultivating pleasant thoughts and memories their overall moods improved and their productivity increased.
They looked at what happened when the drivers put on fake smiles, known as “surface acting,” and its opposite, “deep acting,” where positive thoughts made them smile authentically. After following the drivers closely, the researchers
Trying to suppress negative thoughts, it turns out, may have made those thoughts even more persistent.
They also found that women were affected more than men, probably because women are socialized to be more emotionally expressive, they said, so hiding emotions may create more strain.

Eight of the company’s new Rapid Charge Elektrobays will be installed across North East England as part of an initiative, led by the One North East regional development agency, to install more than 1,000 charging stations across the region within the next three years.
Casey Stoner breaks two minutes to set Sepang record
Classic February fun in the sun Members of SOL Classic Car Club met at Laguna Village last Saturday with tops down and sunscreen at the ready on what felt like a summer's day – perfect for a run into the Serrania de Ronda.
Here and there were splashes of pink – patches of tiny wild flowers or orchards of later almond blossom. The cars then
turned off on a quieter single track road into the Alto Genal of the Serrania de Ronda. The convoy of classics came as a surprise to both local goatherders and the driver of a large cement lorry! Typical Andalucian “pueblos blancos” are dotted around the hills here and chestnut trees cover the slopes – leafless skeletons at this time of the year mingling with plumes of smoke from controlled fires which spiral upwards into the skyline. The coffee stop was in Cartajima
where club members were surprised and delighted to discover the delightful Hotel Los Castanos tucked away down a cobbled street next to the church in the centre of the village. After rest and refreshments it was back on the road, following lesser-known routes to Farajan and Jubrique before joining the main road to Algotocin where the cars turned down into the Genal Valley through the cork oak forests. Some of the older models found the climb out of the valley hard going so a stop for refreshments at the Puerto de Penas Blancas was a welcome chance to cool down. From there it was downhill all the way to Estepona and lunch at the small and friendly Eden Bar. If you are a classic enthusiast, check out the club website www.solclassiccarclub.net for details.
Casey Stoner broke the lap record at Malaysia's Sepang circuit to end the final MotoGP pre-season test on a high. The Repsol Honda rider set a new record of one minute 59.665 and team-mate Dani Pedrosa also went under two minutes. But defending champion Jorge Lorenzo could only finish in seventh, while Britain's Cal Crutchlow was 14th.
The first images of Volkswagen’s all-new Golf Cabriolet have been revealed ahead of the car making its public debut at this week’s Geneva Motor Show. The two-door, fourseater, front-engined soft top is the first Golf Cabriolet available since the Mk IV Golf, and builds on the company’s heritage for producing popular convertibles which started
with the original Beetle cabriolet and still
continues today with the Eos. With sales of around 1.42 million units, Volkswagen is one of the
world’s most successful producers of convertibles. But the latest Golf Cabriolet marks a whole new era of open-top motoring, boasting an electrically-powered soft top which can be lowered in just 9.5 seconds including on the move at speeds up to around 18 mph, a range of efficient petrol and diesel engines as well as the highest levels of quality, refinement and safety.
Coventry-born Crutchlow, the sole British rider in MotoGP, will make his debut with the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 team in Qatar on March 20th. Honda Gresini's Marco Simoncelli was third in
testing, with the third Repsol rider, Andrea Dovizioso, in fourth, and Yamaha Factory Racing's Ben Spies next. Valentino Rossi, continuing his comeback after a shoulder injury and preparing for his first race on the Ducati, was almost two seconds slower than Stoner. He finished in 11th place, though this was an improvement from 13th in testing earlier in February.
Extra funding to repair potholes Councils in England will be given more than £100 million of extra funding to spend on repairing potholes, Transport Secretary Philip Hammond announced last week. The funding is in addition to the £831 million already provided to councils for road maintenance this year and the £3 billion the Government has committed over the next four years. The severe weather at the end of last year has left many local roads in a poor condition. Every local authority has a responsibility

to properly maintain their roads, including planning winter resilience measures, but this exceptional weather has caused significant additional damage. Mr Hammond said: “Millions of motorists across the country have their daily drives ruined by potholes. And the awful winter weather we had this year is only going to make that
problem worse. “That is why, despite the tough financial position we are in, we are going to give councils over £100m extra to help carry out much needed repairs to England’s roads. I am determined to see the winter damage to our roads fixed as quickly as possible and we will be working with councils to make sure that happens.”

February's run had been designed as a “drivers' run” covering some little known roads in an area of changing landscapes and stunning scenery. Once clear of the San Pedro roadworks and past the exclusive urbanisations the road to Ronda climbs though the Puerto del Madrono into the mountains where the views are so spectacular that there are “miradors” every few kilometres. Being a main road it is kept in good condition so classic drivers could enjoy the sweeping bends and the smooth surface while passengers gazed at pine covered slopes giving way to almost bare rocks studded with bushes of bright yellow broom.

Luke Donald defies a desert storm of a different kind The Mijas clubhouse and mountains beyond
England’s Luke Donald defeated the new world number one Martin Kaymer after an extraordinary week at the Match Play Championship in Arizona. The 33-year-old, originally from Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire and now living in Florida, closed out Martin Kaymer on the 16th hole, winning his first World Golf Championship with a superb performance. The players had woken to find the desert course covered in a white blanket of snow, the many cactus trees looking like snowmen spectators lining the course!
"I can't describe it - I'm close to tears. It feels amazing. I've put a lot of work in over the last five years and it's nice to see it pay off,” he said. Donald, who is blessed with one of the most economical and repeating golf swings in the game, reached the top 10 official rankings in 2006, for the first time in his career, and has
trying and he has certainly made up for it now. Donald won three of the first five holes, but Kaymer took the short sixth with a par, the long eighth with a birdie and then the 476-yard ninth with a bogey five when Donald came up short and took a seven. Donald, in danger of slipping behind for the first time in any of his
down from the sand at the 12th, the gap doubled and Kaymer then resigned himself to defeat when he missed a three-footer to lose the 15th. After such a great win for Luke Donald, Europe now holds the top four spots in the world rankings, with Kaymer first, Westwood second, Donald third and
And Donald had tweeted: 'Pre-round snowball fight to see who has the honour off the first?' At one point there was a brief suspension for hailstones, and Kaymer, wearing the first golf snood, was clearly uncomfortable in the freezing conditions. The Englishman made history after he played just 89 holes in six matches, which is the fewest ever in the 13-year history of an event of this kind and he became the first player to never trail after any hole in any match. Donald was in the lead after 81 of those 89 holes. He made 32 birdies in total and became the first player to win a tournament without having to play the 18th hole, which was an incredible achievement; Donald’s longest match was in the second round, beating Eduardo Molinari on the 17th hole.
Combined Colleges won the toss, elected to bat and scored 216/9 off their allotted 35 overs.Fuengirola kept the game very tight until the last 6 overs when they conceded 60 runs.

with 29, but unfortunately for Fuengirola, Colleges’ Nushan had a brilliant bowling spell, taking 4 wickets for 5 runs. F.C.C were all out for 165. Six of the dismissals were for L.B.W which suggests that Fuengirola should start to hit the ball with the bat rather than their pads!

Hayman asked if I was still up for it and I said 'mate, I can win'. All the boys had all confidence in me and it worked out so well. "I only won today because of the work the team did for me, they made it possible. It just goes to show how important teamwork is.

Angry World Cup cricket fans clash Fans queuing outside the Chinnaswamy stadium in the Indian city of Bangalore to buy tickets for the cricket World Cup have clashed with police. Television pictures showed policemen hitting dozens of fans on their legs and backs.Many of the fans had been waiting since Wednesday night. Reports said they were angered by the shortage of tickets available for Sunday's World Cup showdown between India and England.
Derby day delight for Malaga After three draws Malaga were looking to take three points from their Andalucian relegation rivals Almeria on Andalucian Day. And the game produced the usual mix of red and yellow cards. Malaga 3- 1 Almeria However, Almeria, who began the day second to bottom, one point better off than Malaga, went ahead after eight minutes when midfielder Feghouli took advantage of a mistake from keeper Willy Caballero to slot home from close range. Malaga dominated possession for the rest of the half but failed to create anything of note,in what shaped up to be a typical derby game full of yellow cards.
Luna was shown a second yellow card for a handball after he had broken free with the ball. The sendings off didn't stop there though as Almeria's manager Oltra was shown to the stands following his protests. Malaga's joy was complete when Maresca set up Juanmi in the final moments to seal a great win.
Local lad Juanmi is congratulated by teammates
Malaga got back in the match seven minutes after the break when substitute Maresca pounced on a loose ball, beat his marker and fired past Diego Alves. The game was an even affair after that, with Almeria having hit the post after Crusat was set free
to lobb the ball over Caballero’s head but it clipped the top of the post and went to safety. Malaga took control after that and in the 76th minute Almeria's Ulloa was sent off for an elbow on Eliseu which was his second

England earn lastball tie against India England tied an extraordinary World Cup game against India in Bangalore on Sunday thanks to Andrew Strauss' brilliant 158. The co-hosts set an intimidating 339-run victory target after a superb 120 from Sachin Tendulkar. Strauss and Ian Bell (69) put England in command with a 170-run third-wicket stand before Zaheer Khan dismissed both batsmen in successive balls. The tail set up a grandstand finish but England fell one run short of victory after needing 14 runs from the final over.The late drama finished off the most enthralling match of the 2011 tournament so far, a game which both teams will feel they should have won.

SPOTLIGHT ATHLETICS
Jessica Ennis out of Euro Indoors Great Britain's world and European heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis has withdrawn from the European Indoors because of a persistent ankle injury. Ennis has ended her indoor season because of inflammation to her left ankle, having initially made the squad. "I've thought long and hard about whether to compete," said Ennis, 25. "If I'm honest I don't want to risk any further damage to my ankle and calf. I cannot take this risk - the World Championships has to be my priority."
