US top guns escape as Nato divisions grow
Nueva
kaskada
Two US crewmen were warmly welcomed by locals after their warplane crashed out of the the sky during the third night of air strikes on military positions in Libya. It came on the heels of political wrangling as divisions grew within NATO, and the Western military intervention was criticised by some Arab countries. The airmen’s US F-15E
Eagle crashed in eastern Libya on Tuesday because of a mechanical failure, a US military spokesman said, and was not brought down by hostile fire. The plane went down near the rebel stronghold
of Benghazi after a third night of allied air strikes against Col Muammar Gaddafi's forces. The spokesman would not give the exact location where the F-15E Eagle came down, but said both
crewmen had ejected and were safe, suffering only from minor injuries. They had been rescued by local people who thanked them for participating in the air strikes. Continued on page 2

WORLD Winging it..!
By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
last Thursday I went to the la Risa ladies lunch club to give a talk on The news. We had a lovely avocado salad to start with, followed by a delicious dish of salmon, prawns and mussels in a cream sauce on a bed of rice. There was Fritz's apple strudel and cream for pudding but, for once, I declined. I totally winged it as I had to step in for the original speaker who pulled out so I hope it didn't show too much! How these marketing people just get up and talk for hours to hundreds of people is beyond me, but it seemed to go OK and the ladies were interested in how The news was started, how and what we do and where we are going from here. One lady asked if we could publish the rest of the year's bank holidays and I will try and find space for it somewhere over the next couple of weeks. So, all in all, it was an interesting afternoon with great food, as usual, at la Risa on lauro Golf. As you all know, I have been upset, to say the least, that the British Government think it's OK to change the pension rights from 60 to 65 / 66 for women that have already paid their dues in full. SAGA, the company that specialises in all things for the over 50s, has a petition that you can sign if you want to protest too. Go to www.saga.co.uk, latest news, click on “pension ages change unfair to women – sign our petition” and make your voice heard along with thousands, if not millions, of other women.

US top guns escape as Nato divisions grow Effects of the strikes
Divisions within Nato
Libyan state television reported on Monday that Tripoli was "under crusader enemy aerial bombardment" and that several sites had been attacked. It said a naval base at Bussetta, about 10km east of Tripoli, and a fishing village had also been hit. Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said Monday's air and missile strikes had caused "numerous" civilian casualties, especially at the "civilian airport" in Sirte. The reports could not be confirmed.
US President Barack Obama wants operations in Libya to be under French-British or Nato control- "in a matter of days and not in a matter of weeks" – but divisions have emerged within Nato over taking command, with France and Turkey in particular offering objections. France, which supports US, French and British political control, has said the other Arab countries would not want Nato to lead and Turkey has opted for limits on Nato involvement. Turkey has also said the air strikes have already gone beyond the UN resolution. Italy has said it could withdraw its bases without a coordinated Nato structure and Norway has said its jets would not take part in the action as long as it was unclear who was in overall command. Nato officials do not expect a decision for several days.
On Tuesday, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said coalition forces were "going to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties".
Gaddafi's forces continue to attack Despite the declaration of a ceasefire by the government, fighting between Gaddafi's men and the rebels has continued. Eyewitnesses in Misrata the last rebel-held city in western Libya – said on Tuesday that residents had suffered another night of shelling by government forces. They reported 22 deaths that night and said more than 100 people had been injured. There were also reports of continued fighting in Zintan, near the Tunisian border.
Humanitarian situation Rebel leaders based in eastern Libya have had talks with UN officials on the humanitarian situation there. Food is being imported into the region from Egypt, but it is not clear how long the local economy can survive if it remains cut off from the rest of Libya. UN aid
WEATHER WEATHER
Elsewhere While the backing of the Arab League was crucial for getting the UN resolution on the Libya nofly zone, some Arab countries are watching developments with concern. Algeria's foreign minister was reported as saying that Western military intervention in Libya was "disproportionate" and must end immediately. Algeria has seen smallscale protests since the wave of uprisings in the Arab world began three months ago but the
demonstrations have usually been broken up by the security forces. The leaders of several African countries, including Uganda, South Africa and Zimbabwe, have condemned the air strikes on Libya. Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has accused the West of double standards. He was one of five African leaders tasked with finding a solution to the crisis, whose mission to Tripoli was called off when the air strikes began. South Africa's Jacob Zuma, who was also on the African Union panel, has also criticised the air strikes, suggesting they were part of a "regime-change doctrine". South Africa voted in favour of UN resolution 1973, which authorised military action to protect civilians. Mr Zuma called for an

immediate ceasefire and "rejected any foreign intervention, whatever its form". Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has also condemned the air strikes, saying the conflict is really about control of Libya's oil wealth. Namibia's President Hifikepunye Pohamba agreed, calling the bombardment an "interference in internal affairs of Africa". Nigeria's Foreign Minister Odein Ajumogobia said there were "contradictions" with the international community intervening in Libya but not Ivory Coast, where some 435 people have been killed and 450,000 forced from their homes over a disputed election.

drop in Zapatero wins Sharp speeding backing for military action By a vote of 336 in favour, three against and one abstention, Parliament approved Spain's participation in the joint action to maintain a no-fly zone over Libya. Two Spanish planes joined those from six other countries on Monday but the Constitution requires permission from parliament before Spain can join a foreign conflict. Sr Zapatero can now send another four planes and 500 soldiers if necessary. He told Parliament on Tuesday: “We are intervening in Libya to defend its citizens from attacks by their own
government.” When Speaker José Bono announced the vote, a few protesters in the public gallery started shouting “No to the war” but were removed by police. The Partido Popular, the three Catalan nationalist parties and the Basque Nationalist Party all backed the prime minister's request. The Izquierda Unida's two members and the Galicia
Nationalist Party's one member voted against. Sr Zapatero said his government did not approve of targeting Gaddafi and wanted Nato to take command. Opposition leader Mariano Rajoy warned that failure to remove the Libyan dictator could lead to a long civil war. Sr Zapatero believes the action will be over in three months at the most.
In the first week after the lower speed limit came into force, from March 7th to 13th, the number of motorists caught speeding by fixed radars around the country dropped by 62 per cent. The number began to drop in the week before the limit came into effect – from a weekly average of 6,335 to 4,329 between February 28th to March 6th. A Traffic Authority spokesman said the reason for the drop could be that drivers want to avoid paying heavy fines. However, others believe drivers are determined to thwart what they see as an attempt by the government to fill its coffers. In the 2011 budget approved at the end of last year, the government had anticipated collecting traffic fines of nearly €410 million this year but that figure could be drastically reduced if the current trend continues. It
may also lose out on taxes on petrol. The Confederation of Service Stations has already reported a drop of 10 per cent in sales during the first two months of the year, that is, before the political unrest in North Africa began to really affect the price of oil. It was also hoped that the lower speed limit would translate into a sharp drop in road deaths, but the drop of 12 for the first two months of the year is in line with the steady decrease in road deaths over the past eight years.

e indomitable torero Franco’s foreign minister, Ramón Serrano Suñer, wrote in the ABC newspaper towards the end of WW2 that Winston Churchill’s leadership of his country during the most difficult years of its history was a“prodigy of serenity, inventiveness and valour and that nobody – neither military nor civilian, neither Roosevelt nor Stalin – had played such a decisive role in the Allies’victory.” As an expression of appreciation of Churchill’s bravery, the bullfighting fraternity sent him the head of the bull Perdigon, which the greatest bullfighter of the time, Manolete, had killed in the Valencia bullring in July 1944, which had a big “V” marked in white on its forehead. The letter from Churchill thanking the bull’s breeder, José María
Escobar, for the gift – sent in May 1946 – is part of the exhibition “Walking with destiny: Winston Churchill and Spain 1874-1965”, which Madrid Community premier Esperanza Aguirre will open at the Salon El Aguila in the capital on March 25th. Also on show is the telegram of condolence Churchill sent to the mother of Manolete, who bled to death after
being gored in the Linares bullring on August 28th, 1947. Madrid Community spokesman Carlos Abella said the telegram was more than a gesture of courtesy: “Churchill did not have the Anglo-Saxon prejudice against bullfighting. Like Hemingway, he admired the risk and gallantry involved.” He also recalled
how at the beginning of WW2 when things looked bad for Britain, anti-Nazi Spaniards, who “in the beginning were not many”, used to meet in Madrid at the British Institute, and when the tide began to turn they were joined by many more who finally found the courage to speak out against Germany, Franco’s ally during the Civil War. The exhibition also traces

Churchill’s visits to Spain, like the one in the spring of 1914 when he came to play polo with King Alfonso XIII, or when he visited Barcelona in 1935 with his wife, Clementine. From there they went to Palma de Mallorca, where Churchill indulged his two great passions, writing and painting. Picasso once said: “If that man ever takes up painting as a profession,
Spain ordered to compensate Otegi The European court of human rights ruled last week that the government must compensate the former leader of the banned Batasuna party, Arnaldo Otegi, for wrongly sentencing him to jail for insulting King Juan Carlos. During a Royal visit to the
Basque Country in 2003, Otegi said that as supreme head of the civil guard, the King "protects torture and imposes his monarchical regime on our people through torture and violence" in reference to claims by the editor and members of staff at the
Basque-language Egunkaria newspaper that they were tortured by police. Three years later, Otegi was found guilty of insulting the king, and given a one-year suspended jail sentence. He was also ordered to pay costs. Athough the torture allegations were never
proved, the court in Strasbourg said Otegi was within his rights as a politician to air his grievances against the king. It ruled that Spain must pay €23,000 in compensation to Otegi for breaching his right to freedom of expression and to reimburse the court costs
of €3,000. Otegi is currently serving a jail sentence for praising the Basque terrorist group ETA at a rally. He now supports a move by former ETA sympathisers to persuade the group to give up its 40-year-long armed struggle for an independent Basque state.

Deputy PM praises hospital chicken
Holy Week restored
On his first day back at work last Friday, deputy PM and interior minister Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba told reporters he had come back more energetic than ever from his 11-day break thanks to“Chicken Marañón". Sr Rubalcaba had spent several days with a urinary infection in Madrid's Gregorio Marañón hospital and loved the chicken dish he ate there
so much that he asked the cook for the recipe. He took advantage of the press conference to thank all members of the hospital
staff who he said had treated him “spectacularly well”. He said he was glad to be back to normal, adding “if you could call my life normal”.
Castilla-La Mancha regional premier José María Barreda did a U-turn on his government's decision to change the name of the spring break on school calendars after the region's many religious brotherhoods complained. “Semana Santa”, literally Holy Week, has already appeared on the region's school calendars as “the break between the second and third school year terms”. The official explanation for the change was that the break did not always coincide with Easter. Critics of the change used old calendars to give the lie to that assertion – the schools' spring break always coincides with Easter.
Suspicious 'empadronados' The Electoral Census Office has sent the Central Electoral Council files on 121 municipalities where it has detected possible irregularities in the registration (empadronamiento) of residents since the 2007 local elections. The office's
fraud control system had detected irregularities in 395 councils of which 121 have not responded to requests for information. The office is also investigating another 14 councils about which it has received election-
related complaints from individuals and political parties. The electoral council has already carried out physical inspections in Caceres, Granada, Jaen and Madrid but has yet to make its official report. Most of the local councils involved are in the north of
Spain, Catalonia or the Canary Islands. In Andalucia, irregularities have been detected in 22 councils in Malaga province, 16 in Granada and two in Jaen. The next regional and local elections take place on May 22nd this year.

Areas to pass into Afghan hands Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai has named seven relatively peaceful areas in the provinces of Kabul, Panjshir and Bamiyan and the cities of Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif, and Mehterlam which will pass from control by foreign troops into Afghan hands from July. He also named Lashkar Gah, capital of the volatile Helmand province. The handover is a critical step in a transition of power before foreign troops end combat operations in 2014. After
July, the primary role of foreign troops in these areas will be the training and equipping of Afghan security forces. Although much improved, the quality of Afghan police and soldiers is patchy - and many people fear they will be unable to withstand a renewed summer offensive from the Taliban. President Karzai also said the war against terror should not be fought in Afghanistan's villages but should be taken to the havens and sanctuaries of the
insurgents. Despite advances in security in certain parts of the country, a record number of civilians and security personnel were killed in Afghanistan last year. More than 2,700 civilians were killed in 2010 - up 15 per cent on the year before. A UN report on civilian deaths said that the Taliban were responsible for 75 per cent of all deaths. The proportion killed by Afghan and Nato forces fell, accounting for 16 per cent of civilian deaths.

News Record set straight Gib gymnasts do very Entitlement to free prescriptions is a matter of law, not of policy, says the Government. However, opposition spokesman for health Neil Costa made an incorrect statement recently about the entitlement to free prescription drugs for the over 60s, saying that in the past everyone over 60 did not have to pay, whether in work or not. The law prescribes that all persons not in employment are entitled to free prescriptions. In the case of a married couple, if one of the partners is in employment and paying Social Insurance, under the law he or she is considered to be a registered contributor to the Group Practice Medical Scheme, and as such, neither the contributor nor his/her dependants are entitled to
exempt status. The minister for health, Yvette Del Agua, said: “There has not been a change in policy, nor is a new policy now being applied by the GHA. The law is being applied in exactly the same manner as it was applied during the GSLP administration. In fact, the only change that has occurred, is that this Government thought it right to amend the law in 1998 in order to entitle pensioners to free prescriptions, thereby rectifying the practice presided over by the GSLP administration whereby pensioners had to pay 20p for each item on their prescriptions, and again in 1999 to restrict the amount that patients had to pay for one prescription to £7.50. The GSLP administration did not deem it necessary
to make these beneficial changes for patients during their years in Government”. The Government adds: “In order to allay any concerns that might have arisen as a result of Mr Costa’s incorrect statement, the GHA would like to reassure the public that all persons over the age of 60 years who are not in employment and whose spouse is not in employment, will continue to receive free prescriptions. The Government deeply regrets any unnecessary anxiety that may have been caused to pensioners as a result of Mr Costa’s attempt to play politics with false statements. Nothing has changed either on prescriptions or on the GSLP’s political style.”

UK News Briton fights extradition to France Lawyers for Ian Bailey, 54, (pictured right) have sought leave to appeal against his extradition to France where there is an arrest warrant for him over the death of 39-year-old Sophie Toscan du Plantier, the wife of the former Gaumont film studios boss. Mme Toscan du Plantier was found beaten to death in County Cork in Ireland on December 23rd 1966. Bailey, a near neighbour, has always protested his innocence but last Friday, High Court Judge Michael Peart ruled that he could see no reason why Bailey should not be extradited. Alain Spilliaert, the victim’s family lawyer, said of the decision “ it was a perfectly sound masterpiece of judicial decision-making". Irish police questioned Bailey on two occasions over the murder but both times he was released without charge and they
handed the file on the murder investigation over to the French police in 2008. This was an unusual move, but one that was cleared by an Irish judge at the time. Bailey's lawyer set to work on papers appealing against Judge Peart’s ruling, and handed them in at Ireland's High Court in Dublin yesterday

Rescue team. Police had also drafted in other specialist search and rescue experts to help. Details of the offer came as hundreds of volunteers joined a search of woodland for the 22-yearold, who has not been seen since the early hours of Saturday after leaving a nightclub. Police issued a new poster, with details of the reward, which is being pinned up across Wiltshire by volunteers. They also warned people to be extra careful and not to go out walking alone.

Citizens unite for Coin - new political party Guillermo Alvarez Martin is no newcomer to politics – he was a councillor for the Partido Andalucista in the late 1980s and early 1990s and is now set to re-enter the fray with a new political party. Our political writer Muriel Pilkington has spoken to him, for the first of a series of articles looking at politics and politicians in Coin. Snr Martin gave up politics because he was disillusioned with town hall politicking, and could not live on his monthly salary - the equivalent of €300. He founded a new party, Ciudadanos por Coin, in February this year, and says he has been joined by others as disillusioned as himself with the way he believes the town is being run– former members of the Partido Popular, the Socialist Party, Izquierda Unida (IU, United Left),
and his old Party, the Partido Andalucista, as well as people who never belonged to any party. Since then he has been holding meetings with different groups of residents – professionals, small businessmen, workers and students - and he hasn't forgotten the foreign community which he considers very important for the town. Consequently he has met with the British, the Rumanians and
Moroccans, the three largest groups of foreigners, and the manifesto setting out his aims on his website (www.ciudadanosporcoin. es) has been translated into those languages and French. (Go to the website then hit Elecciones 2011). It's a very wide-ranging manifesto, covering just about everything that is aimed at making Coin a nicer and more prosperous place to live. Dr Alvarez will support the
controversial extension of the quarry, but only if the dolomite mined there is processed locally, which would keep around 200 people in jobs for many years. He wants to clean up the town - “you can hardly walk the streets they're so dirty” - return the historical centre to its former glory and nurture traditional local businesses. Mindful that the lack of parking spaces deters visitors he's studying ways of providing free parking at
Mari Luz’s killer sentenced A Huelva court last week sentenced Santiago Del Valle to 19 years in jail and his sister Rosa to nine years for the sexual abuse and murder of five-year-old Mari Luz Cortés who disappeared on January 13th, 2008, and was found drowned in the marshes of Huelva 54 days later. The case caused a great commotion at the time because Del Valle was a convicted sex offender who should have been in jail at the time of the murder. He was sentenced to two years in jail in December 2004 for sexually harassing a nine-year-old girl in Seville, but did not serve time because he apparently had no police record. In fact, Del Valle had been tried
for abusing his own daughter in 1998. The sentence was due in May 2003, but was not released until December 2005. It was not implemented because of a series of oversights in a Seville court and the mistake was not discovered until Del Valle was arrested by police in connection with the Mari Luz case. Her father, Juan José Cortés, said his family

felt "blocked and frustrated because the justice system here hands down short sentences and behaves benevolently towards criminals." After his daughter's death, Cortés collected enough signatures to get the Penal Code reformed with tougher sentences for paedophiles. Two months after Mari Luz's body was found, Cortés met Prime
Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who promised to review the Penal Code. Cortés said last week that the promise had not been kept.

the town's two car parks and the possibility of creating car parks around the periphery. Dr Alvarez told The News he already had more than a thousand friends signed into his Facebook page. He confidently expects
to win three council seats in the May 22nd election which could make his party the deciding factor if the two main parties – the Socialist Party and the Partido Popular – draw level, as most polls are predicting.

Now Animals in Distress (AID) is inviting you to join a sponsored one-and-a-half hour walk with your own dog or a rescue dog that AID will provide on Sunday, April 3rd. Meeting at 11.30 am – dogs on leashes please – at Monda car park where the weekly market is held, guide Roy from the Mortgage Service Group will take you on a scenic and easy walk along at least two kilometres of flat ground with just a small slightly uphil section. The entry fee of €1 includes raffle entry. AID was set up to help animals in distress, like the donkey tied to a pole on a highway or the dogs that were recently shot at in Coin. Janice of AID took the first one, left lying in the road, to a vet but it could not be saved. She stayed with a dangerous breed dog shot in the leg until it was collected by a licensed dangerous breeds handler. That dog and another one survived.

Biofuel from olive waste Environment minister Rosa Aguilar attended the opening last week of the country’s first plant to use the Japanese Kurata system to obtain biofuel from olive residues. At full capacity, it will produce 10,000 tons of fuel a year from 30,000 tons of olive residues and give direct jobs to 14 people initially. The minister praised the project’s innovative use of technology and its economic sustainability. The plant’s owners, the Grupo Torres, plan to open two more, in Almeria and Cuenca. MARBELLA

Hospital joins invoicing plan The Hospital de la Serranía has begun issuing the so-called “shadow invoices” which inform patients of the real economic cost to the health service of the treatment received. One of the objectives is make people realise that the treatment is not “free” and to encourage those with minor complaints to use their local health centres which do not issue invoices rather than the overloaded hospitals. The invoices also take into account indirect costs such as cleaning and security services and administrative costs.

Caution, danger of landslides
The big intervention
T
N
he prime minister’s refusal to say whether he’ll run in the 2012 general election or not is in danger of splitting the Socialist Party as it’s never been split before. It’s nearly always been divided roughly into Left, Right and Centre and people have left it to go over to the more left-wing Izquierda Unida (IU, United Left), but there has never been a real schism. Rosa Diez resigned as Socialist MEP in late 2007 to protest over Zapatero’s decision to hold talks with the Basque terrorist group ETA and founded her own party – the UP&D (Union, Progress and Democracy) – but she took few party members with her.
B T
ut the internal debate about the “succession” – as the national press calls it – threatens to divide the party right down the middle. he Zapatero faithful – those closest to him – want him to stand again, but the less faithful realise that he’s past his due date and could lead the party into a most humiliating defeat if he runs, so they’re casting around for his successor.
B
ut the worst thing right now is that Zapatero – as stubborn as ever – refuses to say one way or the other. Once again party spokesman Marcelino Iglesias told a press conference on Tuesday that there will be no announcement at a party committee meeting on April 2nd. It will be an ordinary committee meeting dealing with ordinary topics and there will be no extraordinary information, he told reporters. When pressed further, Iglesias said the president “has the full support of the party if he wants to run again because he's the party’s ‘natural’ candidate.” When reporters insisted, Iglesias told them quite curtly that he had nothing more to say.
M
eanwhile, over at a TVE1 studio, the party’s international political secretary, Elena Valenciano, said the succession was being gossiped about internally because the party had an anarchist streak which did not respond to discipline.
S
o we have those around Zapatero acting as if nothing is happening while the party’s “barons” – the older generation who govern in the regions – are calling for him to come clean now, even though this means they’ll be fighting for their political lives in the middle of succession primaries in Madrid. But they feel that if the Socialist faithful know he won’t be running they’ll make the effort to go out and vote on the day. Right now, some 30 per cent are saying they’ll stay at home, which means the Partido Popular would win. n the other hand, the party’s federal committee in Madrid doesn’t want Zapatero to reveal his hand until after the May 22nd election so
O
as not to distract voters with primaries.
A
ll of them insist that the May election result in no way will indicate how people are going to vote in the general election in March next year. They wish!
T
o complicate matters, although Deputy PM Alfredo Rubalcaba has the support of most of the party hierarchy and a majority of the public, defence minister Carme Chacon apparently intends to throw her hat into the ring if Zapateros’ popularity continues to decline.
T
he May election is just under two months away and the Socialists had better get their act together. A heavy defeat in May could give the Partido Popular what they've wanted all along – that Zapatero, as the man responsible for the defeat, will step down and call an early general election, which will be just as disastrous as for the party.
O
ne of the basic problems in all this is that Zapatero has always had to be the star so he has surrounded himself with yes-men and women. As a result, he has no successor of quality – apart from oldtimers Rubalcaba and Speaker Jose Bono, who say they’re not interested in his job.
A
nother problem is that he and his minions have always put ideology ahead of common sense, like passing an anti-smoking law that is closing down bars and putting people out of work at a time when some 4.3 million people are on the dole.
A
nd therein lies the rub. Let’s assume that just half of those people are Socialist voters. Will they vote Socialist this time around? The party simply cannot afford to lose over two million votes when it only had a majority of just under 900,000 over the PP in the 2008 general election.
Winds of war
W
hen is a war not a war – when Zapatero says it isn't. What many people are not aware of is that Spain is going to be in the front line of a war for the first time since Franco died. José Maria Aznar sent troops to Iraq to do humanitarian work, like rebuilding hospitals and schools and helping the civilian population whenever possible. They left a huge gap when Zapatero pulled them out and it wasn't the allied forces that suffered but Iraqi civilians, especially women and children. Spanish troops have also been carrying out a support role in Afghanistan. In Libya they'll be on the attack.
ow that Spain is mixed up in the Libyan conflict, many are wondering whether it is worth the risk and the expense of getting involved in a conflict that perhaps doesn’t have anything to do with this country’s regional security. Others are demanding to discover the fine line the Zapatero administration has drawn to define between getting involved in a coalition force to destroy Muammar Gaddafi’s defence forces and his complete opposition to the Iraqi war that led to the pullout of Spanish troops in 2004. Despite the spins, interpretations, double-speak and arguments being fed to the public by the leaders of the coalition, there is common ground, which is to get rid of the current dictator in power. Yet foreign minister Trinidad Jiménez echoed on Monday what the United States and Britain have been saying all along: Col. Gaddafi is “not the target” of the multinational operation. Though she admits that UN resolution 1973, which enabled nations to enforce a no-flight zone, is openended.
I
n Santiago, Chile, during a Latin American tour this week, Obama said that America’s policy remains unchanged, which is Gaddafi must go. So what is Odyssey Dawn’s goal? Gaddafi has been killing off his people long before the entire world became familiar with a coastal city named Benghazi . The last time we heard about Benghazi was in 1999 when five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor had been sentenced to death - later pardoned after international pressure - for deliberately infecting more than 400 children at the city hospital with the HIV virus. In 2008, Human Rights Watch reported that many political prisoners had been “disappeared” or tortured even though Libyan law prohibits this. Quoting a witness, HRW reported that in 1996 security forces at Abu Salim prison in Tripoli put down an uprising by opening fire and killing up to 1,200 inmates. “Twelve years after the incident, the Libyan government has failed to release important details, including the number and names of all people killed.”
A
fter so many years of being called a terrorist and “madman” Gaddafi was, until the Benghazi uprising, embraced by the European Union and then the United States. Who brought him back from the dark side in 2003 and why is anyone’s guess. Some blame Tony Blair; the former British PM seems to be a favourite whipping boy for a lot of today’s global ills. But now, everyone agrees – quietly and boastfully – Gaddafi has to go. No one is saying how or whether he will be allowed to take refuge in an insignificant third country as Uganda ’s Idi Amin was allowed to do. They just don’t want him around anymore.
S
o now, liberal-minded, champion of human rights Spain is caught up in the international evil plot to depose a brutal dictator. Saying that the country “cannot sit idly by” and not help enforce the UN resolution, Zapatero government officials are arguing its case for Madrid 's participation in the Odyssey Dawn mission. “ Spain cannot turn its back on the international community and even less so when it concerns a Mediterranean country," one source told Efe news agency this weekend. Still, the Libyan conflict and Iraq are opposite poles. In 2003, then-prime minister José María Aznar had no backing from the United Nations to take part in the British-US invasion of Iraq; Zapatero does. Aznar’s insistence in making Bush and Blair happy was one of the main reasons that led to the defeat of the Popular Party in the 2004 elections. Zapatero may lose a lot of respect from the country’s major liberal sector but he is keeping his allies in France and Britain very happy.
W
hile lawmakers in the United States are demanding explanations as to why Obama didn’t run his decision by Congress before committing troops to Libya, the issue is a different matter in Spain . According to the 2005 National Defence Law, Spain must act immediately when required to participate in international missions even before running it by parliament. Article 17 of the law states: “When for reasons of extreme urgency it is not possible to obtain a prior consultation, the government must submit its decision to Congress as soon as possible so that it can ratify it.” he Popular Party has always supported the Socialists’ decision when it comes to international military cooperation, and it has reaffirmed that position with Libya . “We don’t oppose the decision,” Rajoy said on Tuesday. “We cannot oppose the international community, and we support our allies and the Libyan civilian population.” It is refreshing to see the major opposition party supporting Zapatero. Spain is right in backing the international cause for Gaddafi’s ousting.

Valerie Mitchell Jeffrey Some years ago I was extolling the virtues of the Salon Varietes and a friend mocked me for supporting amateur theatre. "You wouldn't encourage your children to read badly written books," she said. "So, why take them to see amateur dramatics?" Well, it depends on your point of view, doesn't it? Living in Coín, I don't have access to the Gate and the Abbey theatres as I did in my formative years so, if I want my children to see live

theatre, we take what there is. By supporting local theatre it grows and everyone wins. It was, however, with little idea of what to expect that I went along to the recent production of "Last Tango in Little Grimley" performed by Tapas. This was a play about the lack of support for amateur theatre in a rapidly dwindling group until they hit on the idea of "sexing up" their repertoire and their advertising.
J. Morris
Well, what a blast! I don't remember when I last laughed so much. The acting was of an amazingly high calibre. If it had been less so, the whole production could have fallen flat. All four actors delivered a truly accomplished performance. Well done, Tapas and long live am.dram. I look forward to their next production, Blythe Spirit, to be staged in May.

Can I ask your readers if any of them know the correct usage time for a spanish hand grinder?
good named brand grinder and it lasted one hour - as did another one!
I was recently asked to re-grout an 80 square metre terrace and, half way through my old English grinder's bearing gave up.
On returning it to the shop again their “top-repair man” said: “I have found the reason why,” (great, what?) "you have been using it to much!"
So, off I went to a well known 3 letter named shop (in Fuengirola), bought a

Elaine Elliot I would like to add to the letter in last week's issue of The News regarding the scrapping of the NIE cards. I’ve been here for over 25 years and have “lost” quite a few passports, and DNIs in my time – some places accept copies but others do not. On trying to “solve this
My friend ordered an awning from a well known shop on the Mijas Road on Thursday to be told"you can pick it up on Tuesday". On Tuesday he was told Friday and, when he asked “why Friday?” (and I thought this was brilliant) "because it’s raining" was the reply! What service?

Now that the DNI card has expired, I decided to do the same with the clumsy A4 “certificate” and heard that

BUZBY Buzby was thrown from a car with another five dogs not long ago and was homed with some people in Belgium but unfortunately it didn’t work out so he is now looking for a loving, permanent home. He has a phobia of collars because of something in his past that we don’t know about - perhaps he was tied up? He’ll happily travel in your car with you! Buzby is a herding dog who needs someone with time, patience and with no children to give him training and stimulation. Buzby will give back so much once he is trained and knows he is well loved. He is clean, and is good with other dogs and cats. Call Jan at Animals In Distress on 619 377 787.

March of the Asteroids With the demotion of Pluto from planet status there are now eight planets in our Solar System. In order from the Sun they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. And as you travel through the Solar System there is a nice neat order to the distances of the planets from the Sun. Each planet is more or less twice as far as the one before it and obediently following the Titius-Bodes rule. But between Mars and Jupiter the rule breaks down. Instead of there being a planet here we have millions of potato shaped pieces of rock ranging in size from pebbles to nearly 1000km. These are the Asteroids, and it is because of the Asteroids that Pluto lost its status as a planet.
to
Torreblanca problem” I recall being advised by a colleague when I worked in Miraflores to have my originals “compulsado” and retain the attested copies - this I carried out in a Notary.
Stargazing
The Asteroids are probably the remains of a planet that was broken up by Jupiter’s massive gravity millions of years ago. They orbit around the Sun in an area known as the Asteroid belt. The first Asteroid, and also the largest, was discovered in 1801 and at first was thought to be a planet; it was named Ceres after the Roman God of agriculture. Three other Asteroids, (Pallas, Juno and Vesta) were discovered over the next few years, with Vesta being found in 1807. After eight more years of fruitless searches, most astronomers assumed that there were no more and abandoned any further searches. However one astronomer continued his search and in 1845 another Asteroid was discovered. Since then, with the advent of bigger and better telescopes more and more were discovered and at least 87,000 have been discovered to date with the number rising almost daily. But not all of the asteroids are happy to stay within the Asteroid belt. Mars’s two tiny moons Phobos and Deimos are probably Asteroids that were captured by Mars’s gravity. So astronomers began to search for asteroids that come close to Earth and up to now they have discovered over 4,000 that can be classed as near-Earth bodies and cross Earth’s orbit, more than 600 are over 1km in diameter. In 1937 one asteroid passed the Earth closer than the Moon, a very near miss. The possibility of us being hit by a rogue asteroid is very real indeed; in fact the Barringer crater in Northern
Arizona is probably the result of an asteroid impact, and it is now believed that it was an asteroid strike that wiped out the dinosaurs. The U.S. military has now declassified the information sent back by its military satellites built to detect nuclear explosions which revealed hundreds of upperatmosphere impacts by objects ranging from one to 10 metres across. Several probes have been dispatched to various asteroids and in 2001 NASA successfully landed a small probe on Eros, making it likely that if an asteroid was discovered in time that was on a course for Earth, we could probably land a device on it that would push it out of our way (hopefully). But only if it was spotted in time - if an asteroid was headed our way that came from the direction of the Sun then we would have very little chance of doing very much about it. Asteroids are now so numerous that rather than just being referred to with numbers many have been given official names by the International Astronomical Union. Frank Zappa, Humperdinck and Mozart are flying around up there along with John, Paul, George and Ringo, but strangely no Elvis. So get your telescope out and start hunting and if you discover one there is no reason why you shouldn’t have it named after you!

Your Weekly entertainment Guide InsIde thIs Week t.O.P.s. Cabaret this Friday new play for the salon Varietes, Fuengirola Becket’s endgame at Malaga’s esAd
A new gem is added to Malaga’s cultural crown
Written by Andrea MacLean
M
alaga made a spirited bid to be chosen as a European Capital of Culture in 2016 which failed in the face of very fierce competition. But the city where Pablo Picasso was born has continued the task of turning Malaga into a cultural mecca for visitors.
P
icasso only lived in Malaga for the first ten years of his life but he continues to make his mark – the opening of the Picasso Museum seven years ago helped breathe new cultural life into the city, and that, coupled with a major facelift for the historic part of the town, as well as the flourishing of a multitude of other museums and historical remains, has put Malaga firmly on the map. No longer is it just an airport
and a gateway to other, more exciting places.
A
nd now there is a new, hugely important cultural boost for the city, with the opening on Friday of the magnificent Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, in the restored 16th century Villalón Palace, in the heart of the city, which is expected to be attended by top dignitaries and the well-loved Malaga actor Antonio Banderas.
T
he new museum is sister to the Thyssen museum in Madrid and it will display more than 230 works from the huge collection built up by Carmen Cervera, born in Sitges in 1943. She was crowned Miss Spain in 1961
and became the fifth wife of the late Swiss industrialist and art collector Baron Hans Heinrich ThyssenBornemisza. The Baroness’s vast collection is valued at around 800 million euros and is recognised as one of the most extensive and important in the world.
T
he exhibitions will include works by Picasso, Joan Miró, Antoni Tapies and a masterpiece from Francisco Zubaran will be one of the highlights. The permanent display will be on loan for 15 years, and will feature many works of arts never before seen in a museum. It will be supported by a series of temporary exhibitions from the sister museum in Madrid.Work on renovating the Palace, in Calle
Compañia, has been underway for more than two years, at a cost of 11 million euros, and during it exciting Roman remains were found.
M
alaga was not, in the past, thought of as a great cultural city – it was always overshadowed by the “big three” of Granada, Cordoba and Seville. But it has now made its mark on the cultural map of not just Andalucia, but the whole of Spain, and almost daily more vestiges of its rich past are unearthed, and put on show. Work on the metro system has been held up regularly as the past is uncovered and the Roman and Phoenician remains found during construction of the Picasso Museum are preserved under a perspex
floor.
T
he Roman amphitheatre, discovered in 1951, is now restored and is yet another attraction in the city’s historic quarter, which is home to around 25 museums. Nearby is the
CAC Malaga, which exhibits top contemporary artists. So take a stroll, and make it the year to steep yourself in the cultural riches that are on offer. The new Thyssen museum is a major addition to the cultural gems that Malaga is so carefully burnishing .
More than the Wow! Factor at Buzby’s final Phenomenal talent was on show last Sunday night at the final of the talent show in Benalmadena Costa Heats had been held over the previous three weeks but Sunday night saw the best of the best strutting their stuff at Mad Terry@Buzby’s, and the young age of the contestants bore witness to the amazing talent that we have here on the Costa del Sol. Five young people had reached the final and Buzby’s was full to bursting with people coming to see exactly what these talented future stars had to offer.
“Teenage Idol” with an excellent delivery that got the crowd moving. If you want to hear more of Connor and his swing and Michael Bublé style music, just pop along to the Mosquito Bar in Las Rampas, Fuengirola.
hold them! A very brave person is one that will sing such a challenging and well known song but Nicole pulled it off in style. Her second song was the equally powerful “The Power of Love”. The fifteen- year-old showed that she loves singing and wants this as a career. The songs were obviously well rehearsed and, despite the wrong backing track being used to start with, she covered it well, smiled at the audience, said “take two!” and carried on without being thrown when the right track was found.
studded grey top and denim mini skirt, sang the Bruno Mars track “Grenade” for her first song. Her second number, Dreamgirls’ “I’m Telling You” made clear that Clara had worked hard practising what she was singing and this Kiera Knightly look-alike should go far if she wants to have a singing career.
Nicole
Connor First on stage, at just 18 years old but with a voice far outstripping his years, was Connor, who says he wants to “show that smooth music isn’t dead.” He gave a marvellous rendition of the classic “Me And Mrs Jones”. His second song was
Fifteen-year-old Nicole was next with a huge voice. She had dressed for the night in a sophisticated little black dress that made her look older than her years. This is one confident young lady who, with the right help, should go far. She is one to watch out for over the coming months and well worth going to see. Her first song was Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” and, yes, she did hit all the notes and
Nicky
Clara Another young lady with a huge voice was next. Clara, again 15-years-old and looking great in a silver
The fourth of our future stars was Nicky, who had incredible stage presence and had chosen an Irish song for her first performance called “Ride On” by Chris Moore. This 20-year-old, the oldest of the group at the final night, acted the song out and had a very good musical range of voice. Her second was an equally well performed
“Make You Feel My Love” by Christy Moore. Last, but by no means least was Ben. You may remember Ben from the most recent production of “Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at the Salon Varietes where he played the lead rôle. His first song was indeed from “Joseph” and it is obvious when he performs that the stage is where this young lad of 19 wants to be, and when asked what he would like to do, he said :“Be on the West End stage. Why not? Go for it!” There was no doubt in anybody’s minds on Sunday night that this is exactly where he could be in the very near future. Ben’s second song was from Miss Saigon, the famous “Why God.” Ben not only sings his songs, he performs them as well. So, who won? Well, myself and my fellow judges - Julie from Buzby’s and Adrian Taylor, the manager at Promonade Productions SL - had our work cut out for us. The whole competition
has been a very close-run thing and there was a miniscule points difference between all the finalists. So much so that we had to have three of the contenders sing another song to make our final decision. Nicole sang Roy Orbison’s classic “I Drove All Night”, Clara sang “Listen” and Ben finshed with Enrique’s “Hero”.
Ben - The winner A very difficult decision was reached and the winner was Ben who received €100 and will be cutting his CD as part of the prize from Roxy Studios. Runner up was Nicole who will also be cuting a CD at Roxy. By Kym Wickham

New play for Salon The hilarious west end hit musical comedy “The Producers” will play the Salon Varietes theatre, Fuengirola from Friday 25th March to Tuesday 5th April. The show opens in New York in 1959 when theatrical producer Max Bialystock's new show Funny Boy (a musical version of Hamlet) flops after just one performance. A chance remark from his accountant tells him that a show’s producers could make more money with a flop than with a hit. The two of them find a sure fire flop - Springtime For Hitler - a gay romp about Adolf, written by a mad German. They hire the worst director and the worst cast but to their horror the critics think it’s a masterpiece!
This hilarious musical comedy is not to be missed. Directed by Peter Mitchell, with Peter Height’s choreography and musical direction by Sylvia Griffiths it is headed by Salon favourites David Vincent and John Gale alongside a host of fabulous singers and dancers.

e Rite
e end is nigh!
BY MIKAIL HAFSTROM Starring Anthony Hopkins, Colin O’Donoghue, Toby Jones
Faith is questioned and tested under extreme circumstances as a trainee priest comes face to face with resolving his inner conflicts in this movie about demonic possession. Young priest in training Michael Kevak (O’Donoghue) decides that he has to go to Seminary School, despite his inner misgivings, if he is to escape from his overbearing undertaker father played by Rutger Hauer. The young man may be struggling with his faith but that doesn’t stop Father Mathew (Toby Jones) from deciding that Michael has great potential to serve God, and before you can say “hey, her head’s just swivelled right round” he is
packed off to Rome to attend a course on exorcism at a school attached to the Vatican. His doubts about the authenticity of exorcism cause his irate teacher to send him to Father Lucas Trevant (Hopkins), a priest with a long history of successful exorcisms, conducted in very unorthodox ways. So Michael’s belief in psychological “possession” rather than a demonic one, is, guess what, put to the test as his soul looks likely to be claimed by the Devil. Well, it’s a load of hokum,
Studio bosses have now released a sneak preview of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, with a teaser trailer linked to interviews with Harry, Hermione and Ron...or Daniel, Emma and Rupert as they are now known following the end of filming. Movie goers are waiting with barely concealed excitement for
the last ever part in the saga, which will hit cinemas on July 15th. Part 1 broke UK box office records in the UK and took a total of £404 million worldwide. Part 1 was by way of being a road journey for the three main characters, while part 2 is going to be action packed, and tie up all the loose ends. Can’t wait.
I’ll be back... and fans of the occult will no doubt judge that it falls well short of The Exorcist. But Tony Hopkins is on top, scene-chewing form - he is always compelling to watch and is much the best
thing about the movie. One reviewer called him “Hannibal Rector” so you get the drift. If you like good v evil, Devil v the Church, then this is one for you.

And it seems he will. Now Arnold Schwarzeneggar has more time on his hands he is actively considering returning to movie making. The former Governor of California wants to return to his old day job and has said he will be announcing a new project soon. Meanwhile
Tom Arnold, who starred with Arnie in 1994’s James Cameron directed True Lies, has said he has a great script for True Lives 2, written by Cameron and writer Jeff Easton. Arnold has said he is very hopeful of working again with Arnie to bring part 2 to the silver screen.

Now is the time to sit up and start making those financial plans. Delegating these issues to someone else will not work – it is now time for you to take the responsibility back into your own court. This is your time to step up to the mark, your instincts are right on the ball, stand tall and do the right thing. If you have been disappointed that you didn’t get what you wanted, then don’t be, brush yourself down and pick yourself up -there may be a very good reason that will reveal itself in time. Working hard for your cash is one of the very things that make you a Taurean. Money and you work together hand in hand, now you have a chance to prove how strong your backbone is. Enough talking – let’s see if you have got what it takes to make your professional dreams come true. On the social scene close friends may suggest ideas that seem outlandish to you - just remember you are a bull not a sheep, you are designed to charge in and forge new paths. Make sure this week you get to grips with any paperwork that needs sorting out such as insurances, policies or maintenance for the car, as Mercury, your ruler is going into reverse at the end of the month which spells more of a time of consolidation for you. Paperwork will drive you crazy if left till then. Family rows over money are likely to come to a head as emotions become fraught after the full moon. Try to sort it out as amicably as you can. If you have experienced a let-down or disappointment then it is all part of a process - in the following week you are about to make some very powerful new connections and good times are on their way. Do not let the negativity of the past to drag you down. This is the week to make right what has gone wrong. Do not linger and wait when you know your efforts would make a difference. Stay calm, keep smiling and do not react to antagonism no matter how ridiculous it seems. A cycle in relationships has finally come to an end; it is time with Uranus’s help for a sweeping and uplifting change to this area. Communication can still feel a bit strained this week but you are generally working your way back to a better footing with someone. You may have to face some emotional upheaval until easier communication is opened up between you. Wild opportunities can come floating by if you are open to accept and adapt to their clauses. You are blessed with a natural humility and hard working ethics, striving to perfect and improve whatever is broken. You not only have the eye for it and the brains for it, you have the heart for it. This is a time for patience and the challenge for you is not to worry too much until a situation is resolved. Beware of the temptation to sweep things under the carpet. Looking at uncomfortable issues and dealing with pressing matters you have been trying to forget is what this week is about.

There are so many choices, decisions to be made and pathways to go down, it is all more than confusing and probably knocking your scales completely off balance. Use this time to pay attention and yet keep an open mind - when in doubt wait until you know before taking action. Take the pressure off yourself until you feel totally ready to make that decision.

It is bumper time for your working life - in fact it is hard to recall no better time to take advantage of the many streams of opportunities gliding past you. Watch the cash start rolling in soon.

A decision has already been made but you are perhaps hesitating in putting it into play. Make it official, go that extra mile to make sure all the bases are covered and that you are prepared and organised. This will bring you a sense of calmness, having thought everything through instead of rushing and missing important notes. Everything you need is at your feet, a threshold has been crossed, a new adventure awaits your willingness to step out into the air. It is time to take a stand and dare to take a risk - drastic times call for drastic measures. Something of great significance is about to happen, your radar gives you the warning so you can at least prepare yourself to some degree. You may be asked to get ready to step up and take a more active part in a leadership, role particularly involving business or financial matters. Walk tall this week - you have more to offer than you realise.

Never mind what it says on the packet or the tin, sell-by dates are just what they say – the recommended date by which retailers should sell something. They are not “Eat By” dates and every week, householders are chucking in the bin millions of pounds worth of perfectly safe and useable food so, this week we continue with our handy guide to how long you can safely keep everyday food items before you have to throw them out, which should help you to stop wasting so much money every year.

ASKING If you want to ask a question (una pregunta) you use, unsurprisingly, the verb preguntar. To avoid having to deal with verb endings, you can use our old trick of tacking it on to Puedo (I can or Can I?) ¿Puedo preguntarle algo? - Can I ask you something? You can also use the expression Tengo una duda - I have a question (literally a doubt) Or ¿Puede explicarme? - Can you explain to me? So, no problem asking the questions. Understanding the answer may be another story but it's a bit beyond the scope of our little column. However, remember that poco a poco you are getting better and according to a recent survey by a prestigious university (O.K. I admit, I forget which one and I'm the linguist!! ) learning a foreign language can seriously help in delaying the onset of Alzheimer's. If you want to ask for something you use a different verb - pedir. Again we can avoid verb endings. Quiero pedir arena - I want to order sand, Tengo que pedir ladrillos - I have to order bricks, Voy a pedir cemento - I'm going to order cement You can also use "pedir" in situations such as in a restaurant - Yo he pedido pollo asado y este es pollo frito - I ordered roast chicken and this is fried chicken Él ha pedido vino tinto y este es tinto de verano - He asked for red wine and this is a red wine spritzer. I'm partial to proverbs so can't resist tossing in one which uses pedir "Pedir peras al olmo" - to ask for pears from a beech tree. Meaning to ask for or expect something impossible. For example, "Esperar que él me compre flores es como pedir peras al olmo." Expecting him to buy me flowers is expecting the impossible. Bueno. Hasta la próxima - Until next time.

RED NOSE DAY
Reality show sparks boom Essex - the home of "blonde" jokes, white stilettos, fake tans and hair extensions - has been put under the TV spotlight in a reality show which is helping to put the county on the tourist map.
Singing duo help set new record Comic Peter Kay and singing star Susan Boyle are set for world-wide success after their video appearance on last Friday’s Red Nose Day telethon. Kay appeared as transexual alter-ego Geraldine McQueen, and joined forces with SuBo in a perfect spoof of the 80s video of Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson singing “I Know Him So Well”. Both wore outfits exactly like the originals, and SuBo’s perm à la Paige got bigger and bigger during the performance. The song went straight to the top of the iTunes chart. SuBo fans from as far afield as Asia, Australia and Canada have swamped Comic Relief with calls on how to get hold of
the video and song, and Red Nose bosses are now planning a world wide release. This will be a Comic Relief hat-trick triumph for Kay. His 2005 hit “Show Me The Way to Amarillo”, and 2007’s Proclaimer’s song “I’m Gonna Be (500 miles)” both got to No 1. Presenter Lenny Henry has been criticised for the spoof of the King’s Speech which was used to open last Friday’s BBC megatelethon. It showed him in the audience getting impatient with Colin Firth’s King
George VI, as he stammered over a speech. The British Stammering Association branded the sketch “deplorable” for mocking stammering, and it was claimed that more than 100 viewers complained to the BBC. Pledges from the millions who watched the show and from fund raising meant that the £74 million raised was a record breaking highest-ever in 23 years. The “Smiffy” sketch with James Corden, Sir Paul McCartney, Keira Knightly, JLS and Gordon Brown, and
a host of others, has been acclaimed as the best and funniest sketch in the show’s history. Gavin and Stacey’s Smiffy was called in to chair a conference deciding which star should go to Africa to make the official video....footballer Rio Ferdinand was ruled out because he could not cry to order. If you missed the sketch and want to see just how funny it was – and it was – go to YouTube. You will find the original Paige and Dickson duet there too along with Kay and Subo.
“The Only Way is Essex” looks at the saucy lifestyles of, among others, a nightclub owner, a beautician, a glamour model and a wedding singer, and is narrated by Essex girl Denise Van Outen. And while it has been criticised as being unrepresentative, tourist inquiry figures seem to show that there is no such
thing as bad publicity. A hotel booking website reckons it has enjoyed a 140 per cent rise in enquiries about weekend breaks in the county. The series is filmed in Brentwood and enquiries about hotels in the town have risen by over 100 per cent in the past year, says internet site hotels.com. Searches for breaks in Chelmsford have risen by 211 per cent, enquiries about Clacton-on-Sea have gone up by 170 per cent while Colchester enquiries have leapt by 122 per cent.

Queen Mum was a Terry fan The Queen Mother was an avid listener to Terry Wogan’s Radio 2 breakfast show – making her the most famous “Terry’s Old Gal” or TOG, as female listeners to the show were called. The Queen Mother died, aged 101, in 2002 and details of her private music library – as well as her radio listening habits – have been made public for the first time by Royal aides. And the Queen Mum certainly had wideranging tastes. Her collection included Caribbean steel bands, Canadian yodelling, Rodgers and Hammerstein show tunes, and even Paul Simon’s mega hit album
Graceland. Her favourite track was “You Can Call Me Al”. Her collection was kept at the Castle of Mey, in Caithness, where she spent the majority of her summer holidays for nearly 50 years. Among her 100 plus records were wartime speeches by Winston Churchill, and she also had comedy albums by The Goons and Tony Hancock. More traditional choices include Elgar’s Coronation Ode,
played when her husband, George V1, was crowned King – a moving scene in the Oscar winning movie The King’s Speech, in which the Queen Mother was portrayed as Queen Elizabeth by Helena Bonham Carter. Aides said that she was not a listener to pop music but loved listening to Terry Wogan each morning and it’s believed that her love of West Indian music was inspired by a trip to Jamaica in the 1960s.

Sugar pill not a thing of the past
Life expectancy on the rise Life expectancy in the UK and the rest of Europe is on the rise, despite fears over the impact of obesity, according to population expert Professor David Leon, who based his conclusion on an analysis of trends from the past 40 years. He said that despite concern that health problems arising from obesity would affect life expectancy in high-income countries, there is no evidence of this to date. Professor Leon said that deaths from cardiovascular disease in the UK have seen "some of the largest and most rapid falls of any Western European country,
partly due to improvements in treatment as well as reductions in smoking and other risk factors." But he admitted it may to be too soon to see the impact of increasing obesity rates: "We are yet to see the impact of a generation of people who have been obese from childhood through to adulthood. We can't predict how that will
affect life expectancy figures in the future." He said type-2 diabetes was occurring more in teenagers due to obesity, but that this could not immediately be translated into mortality rates. Europeans were also living longer than people in the US, he noted. In 2007, the US was at the same level for

In 2007, life expectancy in the US was 78 years in 2007, compared with 80 years in the UK. The latest figures from 2009 show that life expectancy in the UK is 82.6 years for women and 78.4 years for men.

In the not-too-distant past, it was not unusual for a GP to have at hand a bottle of sugar pills for patients’ minor aches and pains. They are no longer on offer, but a recent report has revealed that half of all German doctors are happily dishing out placebos to their patients for ailments such as stomach upset and low mood. The study, published by the German Medical Association, said that placebos – here defined as sham treatments without any active constituents – from vitamin pills to homeopathic remedies

and even surgery, can be effective as treatments for minor problems and have absolutely no side effects. The power of the placebo was discovered during the Second World War, when morphine was in short supply in military field hospitals. American anaesthetist Henry Beecher, who was preparing to treat a soldier with terrible injuries, feared that without the drug the operation could induce a fatal heart attack. In desperation, one of the nurses injected the man with a harmless solution of saline. To Beecher’s surprise the patient settled down as if he had been given morphine and felt little pain during the operation. Dr Beecher had witnessed the placebo effect. Today, placebo treatments are usually confined to clinical trials, as a comparison with “real” treatments. Interestingly, the German study found that the efficacy of a placebo can depend on the size and colour of a pill and on its cost (with more expensive placebos being more effective) and that injections work better as placebos than tablets. Nor does the placebo have to be a pill or injection: just seeing your doctor can work wonders. But is it ethical to use placebo treatments other than in clinical trials? A recent study of 80 patients with irritable bowel syndrome at Harvard Medical School in Boston showed that, even though patients were told, their symptoms still improved, compared to those who had no treatment. But placebos do not work for everything: they cannot alter blood sugar levels in diabetics, mend a broken leg or cure cancer.

McLaren pin hopes on 'dramatic changes' McLaren-Mercedes team principal Martin Whitmarsh reveals that 'dramatic changes' have been made to the MP4-26 since testing concluded which he hopes will yield more than a second in performance - and in so doing vault the team back into the ballpark once more. Of all the cars that have run during pre-season testing, it is McLaren's new baby that has completed the fewest kilometres.
Stoner seals it in Qatar European Tour in Malaga The Australian wasn't entirely comfortable on full fuel and trailed teammate Dani Pedrosa from laps 6 to 11.
Pedrosa's weight advantage gave him the edge, but just as the Spaniard began struggling with his left arm, Stoner picked up his pace, retook the lead and rode away from the rest of the pack. While Stoner celebrated a repeat of his debut Ducati victory from 2007, the year he went on to win the title, Pedrosa continued to deteriorate and lost second position to Yamaha's world champion Jorge Lorenzo, who eventually finished 3.440sec behind Stoner at the chequered flag. “It definitely couldn't be any better, and it's a similar start to when we won the World Championship in 2007,” said Stoner, whose 24th MotoGP victory puts him
equal with triple 500cc World Champion Wayne Rainey for seventh overall on the premier-class wins list
“Everything with Honda so far has been amazing and we've made leaps and bounds over the pre-season, getting more comfortable on the bike and stronger and stronger. “This was the same in the race and the bike was fantastic. This morning in
Stoner shows his support for Japan
warm-up we found the bike didn't want to work too well on a full tank of fuel so in the race Dani was
able to open a bit of a gap, but we were in no hurry as we knew the bike works well on old tyres and we'd be competitive at the end of the race. “It got better and better the more laps we did and easier to ride right until the last lap. Everything has gone so well and everyone is working well so I'm looking forward to those next races already.” Stoner is the first rider to win 800cc MotoGP races for two different manufacturers, while his victory is Honda's first at the opening round since Valentino Rossi in 2003. Honda has not won the MotoGP title since Nicky Hayden in 2006, during the final year of 990cc racing. Stoner has been hired to end that drought during the fifth and last season of 800cc. Stoner's best Ducati lap in last year's race was a 1min 55.537sec. The Australian beat that with a 1min 55.366sec on the Honda, while Rossi managed a best of 1min 56.053sec on the 2011 Ducati.
Rain stops play again! Well folks what a weekend of precipitation we had again..I don't think any amount of covering the pitch could have stopped that deluge. So for the second week no games of cricket to report.However coming up in the next few weeks we have some very exciting fixtures for you. In April we have our first of the season UK touring side visiting the Cartama Oval..more about them

The Andalucia Open, which will be played at the Malaga Parador de Golf from Thursday 24th to Sunday 27th, is one of the most prestigious tournaments in international golf, and counts for the European circuit. There is a top selection of foreign players taking part but sadly the defender of the title and current British Open champion South African Louis Oosthuizen, has an eye infection and will not be able to defend his title. There are plenty of other champions past and present who will play. Michael Campbell, former holder of the US Open title, and former British Open champion Paul Lawrie have confirmed they are playing, as well as Jose Maria Olazabal, twice winner of the Augusta Masters and captain of the European Ryder Cup team for 2012. Miguel Angel Jimenez, organiser and promoter of the Open Andalucia, cosponsored by Turkish Airlines, is one of the most loved players on the European Tour and his fellow players have responded by turning out in force. Also teeing off will be Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley, the Frenchman Thomas Levet, David Howell, Oliver Wilson, and Barry Lane of England,

next week. Also we intend to hold an open day down at the Oval for all the people who have responded to our articles in The News. This will be an opportunity to meet each other and have a 'knock about' and maybe a beer. .Hopefully I will be able to announce the date next week when we get a better indication of how playable the ground will be.

the
Rose wilts at e Transitions Rondon double The signs were looking good for England’s Justin Rose who certainly looked like he was well on his way to win last Sunday’s PGA tour event in Florida. Rose led by a single stroke going into the last day, but the third-round leader’s hopes of clinching the title were soon diminished when American Gary Woodland made a 10-foot par on the final hole for a 4 under par final round of 67 giving him a 15-under total, that proved to be the difference for a one-shot victory over Webb Simpson. This left Rose finishing five shots back on 10 under along side five other players including Scot, Martin Laird. It was the first PGA Tour title for Gary Woodlands, 26, from Kansas, who managed just one par on the back nine that being the one at 18, added to his five previous birdies and three bogeys. It was a good come-back after he missed most of the 2010 season due to suffering a shoulder injury in
on his putting to save him, which of course it did on this occasion. He went on to say: "I was just trying to hit the ball solidly. I was struggling with my swing all day. My putting usually saves me. This time it won me a golf tournament.” Woodland needed 23 putts in the final round and, according to Shotlink, didn't miss from inside 20 feet. Gary Woodland plays out of a greenside bunker
late 2009, and, it was due to this same injury that he lost in a play off at the Bob Hope Classic earlier this season. However, it seems with good coaching he is now back on par! "When I was hurt, my coach and I looked at my statistics. We attacked my weakness and it has really paid off for me. I've been doing the right things,"he said.
The American birdied the 17th and then held his nerve with a par putt at the 18th as Simpson missed a 20ft putt for par and forced a play-off between the two. The longhitting Woodland, who played college basketball at Washburn, until deciding to transfer to Kansas and play golf, admitted that he had been struggling with his swing all day and was relying
Spaniard Sergio Garcia was satisfied with his comeback performance after finishing in a tie for 15th. He was eight shots back as he closed with a round of 71, it was his first PGA Tour event in seven months. Germany’s world No 1 Martin Kaymer was a shot further back in joint 20th. Report by Claire Voet
delight at last for Malaga Malaga 2-0 Espanyol After last week's great result away at Real Sociedad, Malaga were looking for their first back to back wins of the season. With a near full house giving great support, Malaga started like a train, pressurising Espanyol from the start. After only 7 minutes they got their reward, Rondon latching on to a long ball which was badly defended and duly finished with a volley which smashed the back of the net. In the 26th minute, after a great Malaga move, Portillo set up Rondon to finish well from close range. Almost immediately, with Malaga in full flow, Rondon was put through only for Espanyol keeper Kameni to save well
and deny him his hat trick. Kameni then pulled off a double save from Seba as Malaga looked to run riot. Two nil at half time with possibly the best first half display for a couple of years. Espanyol improved after the interval and Osvaldo made his comeback following two months on the sidelines, but the striker was unable to inspire the Catalans. Recio should have scored for Malaga but again Kameni made a brilliant one handed save. In the end a great win for Malaga and with a two week break now they have a base on which to build to save their La Liga status. Report By: Scott Forbes

C.O.G.S. latest day out held in glorious spring sunshine Last Saturday saw 28 players making the very short journey to Lauro Golf, many of us taking advantage of the early opening hours at Leslie’s Bar in order to fuel up on a hearty breakfast, thanks to Mike, Andrea and staff. As we are due to return to Lauro in May, we took the option of playing what we usually term the easier holes ie 10 to 27, and save the harder versions for next time. As is the norm at Lauro the greens were in great condition, with only one or two fairways still bearing the results of the recent rains that hit the region, but that will change soon with the oncoming sunshine. Scores were reasonably high and at the end of the day the top of the table has bunched up, hopefully meaning a tight finish to the season in December but that’s still a long way off. Thanks are owed to all at “The News” for arranging our outing, Jan and staff at La Risa bar for the beer when we’d finished, and all

Vitali Klitschko sees off Solis challenge Vitali Klitschko retained his WBC heavyweight title by knocking out Cuba's former Olympic champion Odlanier Solis in the first round in Cologne. The Ukrainian, 39, caught his opponent with a decent shot towards the end of the round and Solis suffered a serious right knee injury as he went down. Klitschko was initially furious that Solis was not carrying on and 19,000 watching fans also voiced their anger. But the referee ruled that the Cuban was unable to continue the fight.
St Patrick’s day at Mijas Bowls A wonderful day was had by all at Mijas Bowls Club last week for St Patrick’s Day. At last Spring seemed to be upon us as the sun shone. The games were well
dressed by Carol Wright and the lovely lunch was cooked by Pam Cole and Sandra Kelly. John Kiddle arranged a quiz which proved quite difficult but fun, and everyone had a good laugh. Traditional Irish music added to the atmosphere, and all in all it was a really enjoyable day.

The seniors followed and once again, had to fight back from a first half deficit to finally defeat their hosts 14-

SPOTLIGHT ATHLETICS
Mo Farah stays on track Mo Farah remains in no hurry to swap the track for the roads despite a stunning halfmarathon debut. Farah outsprinted Ethiopia's Gebre Gebremariam to win the New York City half-marathon in one hour and 23 seconds, the third fastest time ever on the undulating course. But the double European champion insists glory in London still revolves around 5,000 or 10,000 metres of the Olympic stadium track, rather than 26.2 miles around the capital's streets.

World Snooker draw - some tough tests ahead World champion Neil Robertson will begin the defence of his title against Judd Trump at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. Tradition dictates that Robertson will play on the opening morning when the legendary tournament begins on Saturday, April 16th. Ronnie O'Sullivan and John Higgins, who will both be chasing a fourth world title, were given tough tasks when the World Championship draw was made on Monday morning. O'Sullivan was drawn to face Dominic Dale, while Higgins will take on Stephen Lee.
