Politics - National News
PM to make way for new leader The race is now on to find a successor to Prime Minister Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero after he announced he will not seek a third term in office. Intense speculation had surrounded Sr Zapatero's future and his decision to step down, revealed at last Saturday's Socialist Party's Federal Committee, was
widely expected. Sr Zapatero, whose popularity has plunged to an all-time low, said it was the right decision for the country, the Socialist Party and his
family. The Socialists are currently 15 per cent behind the main opposition party, the Partido Popular, in the polls and are expected to suffer
heavy losses in this year's regional and local elections and next year's general election. Continued on page 2

WORLD Splodge!
By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
I haven't managed to get much cooking done recently but I decided I really must do something with all the lemons hanging off the tree before they start to spoil. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do so, in my normal fashion, shoved a few bits in a bowl then cooked it. The result is a cross between a sponge and a soufflé and is lovely hot but equally nice cold. A couple of the people in the office had a sample and declared it “Really nice. You can make more of that!” I hadn't a clue what to call it so you will find a recipe for “Kym's Lemon Splodge” on the Kym's Kitchen page next week to give it a go yourselves. Let me know what you think by emailing me at k.wickham@thenewsonl ine.es Men dressed as policemen have been stopping motorists and demanding on the spot fines for alleged speeding offences etc. Authorities found €18,000 worth of cash in various currencies and “police” clothing in Madrid but the gang has been operating in several countries and places within those countries such as the Costa del Sol, Barcelona etc. As a matter of course, Spanish police will not give you an onthe-spot fine. They will always give you a ticket that you will then have to pay. Last but not least all of us at the news, his family and friends would like to wish veteran musician and singer Sid Wright a ver happy 90th birthday for Monday April 11th. Sid has played with the best there is and still continues to entertain us on the Costa. Well done!

The Ivory Coast’s incumbent president Laurent Gbagbo, was last night (Tue) taking refuge in a reinforced bunker and reported to be negotiating his surrender as conflict raged in the Ivory Coast and a million people were displaced by the violence. UN and French forces had attacked the main city of Abidjan operating under a mandate to protect innocent civilians. Fighters have been backing the internationally recognised president Alassane Ouatarra, who was declared the winner of last November’s elections, but was unable to assume office because losing president Gbagbo refused to yield power. Ouaterra’s supporters had seized the presidential palace, forcing Gbagbo to seek refuge. President Barack Obama backed the UN and French action and said that the US was joined with the international community in its deep concern about reports of massacres in the western region of the country. Both sides have denied responsibility for a massacre at the weekend in the western town of Onekoue, where the Red Cross said 800 bodies had been found. Reports said that the killings had been carried out by local hunters loyal to Ouattera and the international community has warned that this will taint the new president if true.

PM won't seek third term Sr Zapatero said he was making his position clear now to end the uncertainty and speculation over his future, which was distracting the government from its main tasks of lifting Spain out of recession and creating jobs. Sr Zapatero also said he would stand down as party leader when a successor had been chosen. That process - through a
series of primaries - will begin after local elections on May 22nd. He asked possible contenders to keep a “law of silence” until after that date because the party now had to concentrate on recovering its voting base. Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, the popular deputy prime minister and interior minister, and Carme Chacon, defence minister,

Another serious contender is current speaker and former defence minister José Bono who, like Sr Rubalcaba belongs to the “old guard” who were in Felipe Gonzalez's governments from 1982 to 1996.

seem to be leading the field. But Sr Rubalcaba will be 60 next year, nearly 20 years older than the average age of all Spain's PMs since the death of Franco. Sra Chacon will be 40, but she has little highlevel government experience. Another handicap is that she also belongs to the so-called “New Age” group of Socialists – often compared to Tony Blair's New Labour
However, only Sra Chacon has so far expressed interest in running in a primary. Sr Zapatero became Prime Minister in 2004 in the wake of the Madrid train bombings. The country's economy was booming then. It has since suffered a deep recession, and unemployment is at 20%, the highest in the eurozone.

National News 'González behind dirty war on ETA' Former policeman José Amedo on Monday claimed once again that former Socialist Prime Minister Felipe González was the man behind the covert counter-insurgency group known as GAL, which was set up in the 1980s to fight against the Basque terrorist group ETA. He was testifying at the first day of the trial of former Bilbao police superintendent Miguel Planchuelo, charged with ordering mercenaries hired by the GAL to machine-gun two bars in the south of France in 1986, injuring six people. Amedo told the High Court that a police commander "would never have ordered criminal attacks." In an
interview in EL PAÍS in November of last year, González, who was PM from 1982 to 1996, wondered if he had been foolish not to take advantage of the chance to give the order to kill the entire ETA leadership. The Partido Popular claimed at the time that he had identified himself as the "Mr X of GAL" who reporters have been trying to uncover for years. Planchuelo, who was
sentenced to nine-and-ahalf years in jail in 1998 for his part in the kidnapping by GAL of Basque businessmen Segundo Marey, who had been mistaken for a member of ETA, denied on Monday he had paid to hire Portuguese hitmen to carry out the attacks in the Batxoki and La Consolation bars in 1986 in the French Basque Country. He said he found out about the attacks from the media.

The country's total unemployment rate, which is released separately every three months and includes people not claiming benefits, stood at 4.7 million in February - 20.5% of the population, and more than twice the EU average. Youth unemployment rose to the critical level of 45.3 per cent in March. The government has introduced tough austerity measures to reduce its debts, but does not expect the economy to start creating jobs until the end of the year at the earliest.
The National Police have arrested a man in Torrejón de Ardoz (Madrid) who strangled his pregnant wife and showed her body to his father in Rumania using a webcam. The man told his father that as soon as his 13-year-old sister-in-law returned home, he was going to kill her too. The father immediately reported the matter to the Rumanian police who contacted their counterparts in Madrid.

e king as drinking partner
Royal visit a huge success Last week's visit to Spain by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall was judged by many to be a popular and successful occasion. During the three day whirlwind tour they managed between them to meet large numbers of British expatriates whilst attending a garden reception at the official home of the British Ambassador Giles Paxman, enjoy a musical concert and reception hosted by the British Hispanic Foundation (Elgar, Beethoven and Turina), meet with leading figures of both business and industry to promote ongoing Anglo Spanish relationships, call in at Repsol's technology centre where they discussed algae cultivation systems and biofuels and visit the new Airbus A400M military transporter aircraft facility
in Seville. They also found time to pop into the 2000 strong British Council School in Madrid, have a family lunch with the King and Queen of Spain and meet the Spanish Prime Minister, José Luis Rodrigo Zapatero, visit a training centre for guide dogs for the blind, receive the Keys to the City of Madrid from Mayor Alberto RuizGallardón Jiménez who then accompanied them to the Goya Salon in the City Hall, where they were invited to sign the Book of Honour. Prince Charles also took part in a seminar organised by the Three Cultures
www.thenewsonline.es
Foundation, designed to “unlock the Muslim potential”, the Foundation comes under the Andalucian government, its main objective being to unite Christian, Jewish and Muslim cultures in the region; they also met with the President of Andalucia and made a visit to a Flamenco Museum in Seville. Prince Charles, who is greatly concerned with environmental issues, managed to broach the subject on several occasions, especially with the Mayor of Seville Alfredo Sánchez Monteseirín, himself an innovator of similar green initiatives, then taking the
opportunity to enjoy a tram ride, much to the surprise of the tourists they encountered along the way. At the official dinner The Prince of Asturias mentioned in his speech a previous visit to Spain by a former Prince of Wales, the “Black Prince”, in the 14th century, more well known for his war like ways and his ruthless acts of chevauchée (burning and pillaging to weaken an enemy) but reflected that this visit was by a “Green Prince”, who focuses on the environment, natural resources and sustainable development. Thankfully quite a different cup of tea. All in all a pretty busy three days.
An annual survey carried out by the Spanish Beermakers Federation has shown that King Juan Carlos is the drinking partner preferred by a majority of Basques. Last year, the king was seventh on the list, which was headed by Basque Country regional
premier Patxi Lopez, who disappeared from the top ten this year. The king beat the likes of actor Antonio Banderas, director Pedro Almodovar, Rafa Nadal, Fernando Alonso, Leo Messi and a host of TV and film personalities for the top spot.
Defiant website continues Despite having been fined more than €3.5 million for divulging personal details about some 36 million Spaniards without their consent, Alicante businessman José Vicente Lucas said he will continue. For a €210 fee from an authorized computer, or up to €1,400 for a flat rate, he provides access to data gleaned from a variety of sources, including the electoral roll and municipal registers, a valuable service in times of crisis when debtors tend to disappear.
The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AGPD) ordered him to shut down the website, Saberlotodo.com and now visitors to the site are redirected to the newly formed Trumbic.com, where they will find a contact number. According to Lucas, 190 companies currently use his service, which brings him in some €300,000 a year. But the AGPD is now going after the new website, with a fine of €600,000 on the cards.

presented evidence that the bishop was still alive when Franco's troops entered Barcelona in January 1939. His evidence comes from several religious archives and the accounts of two witnesses. And Red Cross documents show that the bishop was alive in Montjuic jail in June 1937. One witness allegedly saw him leaving the bishop's palace in Barcelona on January 28th, 1939, the day Franco “liberated” the city. When he called out to him, the bishop replied: “Don't shout, you will give me away.” The other said he had seen the bishop dressed like a workman on

Catalan premier votes for independence
Officially, the bishop of Barcelona, Manuel Irurita, was shot in 1936 by the anarchists and the process to beatify him is already under way in the Vatican. But several archives appear to reveal that he paid Buenaventura Durruti, leader of the Anarchist Federation (FAI) one million pesetas and another two million to the Generalitat (regional government) to save himself from sharing the fate of 2,437 priests and nuns who were assassinated in Catalonia in the first 12 months of the Civil War. But the anarchists betrayed the deal and shot him on December 3rd, 1936, in the Montcasa I Reixax cemetery outside Barcelona. Now a historian specialising in religious matters at Barcelona University, Joan Bada, has

February 1st that year and a French news agency sent a report saying the Bishop had been imprisoned but managed to escape and spent the rest of the civil war hidden in a basement. Another indication is the Church appointed seven new bishops in October 1937 to replace those who had been killed. Barcelona
did not get a new bishop until 1942, when Irurita either died or retired, Prof Bada has said. Vatican archives cannot be searched because they were sealed for 75 years after the death of Pope Pius III in 1958. It remains to be seen if the bishop's beatification will now go ahead.
Regional premier Arturo Mas voted in favour of independence for Catalonia last week, in advance of a non-binding referendum to be held on Sunday, April 10th. It was not unexpected as he has always said if the region were ever to hold a referendum he would opt for independence, as did former premier Jordi Pujol, who founded the governing party CiU. CiU general secretary Josep Antoni Duran said he “respected but did not share” the ideas of the former premier. MADRID
ief targets door handles Police arrested a 37-year-old Rumanian last week and charged him with stealing 560 ornate metal door handles from buildings throughout the city. The owner of the scrapyard who bought them was also arrested. The police said the man had been paid €1,713 for 656 kilos of metal obtained from the handles. Residents of the buildings affected gave police the thief’s description as well as the time he usually committed the crime. They found pliers and several handles in the boot of his car. ARANJUEZ

She joined the Judicial Police 29 years ago and for the last ten years she has worked with minors and children in domestic violence cases. She said many cases were not reported because the women involved do not realise they have a problem. She is now in charge of around 100 policemen.

Disasters hit exports Australia has posted a shock trade deficit for the first time in 11 months as twin natural disasters dented the country's exports. According to the latest data for February, the trade deficit stood at A$205m (£131m). Analysts had been expecting a trade surplus of close to A$950m. The states of Queensland and Victoria, which are home to some of the country's most resource rich areas were hit by floods and a cyclone in January and February. As a result there has been a sharp fall in shipments of metals and minerals, with exports in the sector down by 8 per cent. However, the Reserve Bank of Australia
(RBA) said it expects production levels to recover over the next few months. Meanwhile, the Treasury Department has said the disasters will cost the economy A$9bn (£5.8bn), a substantial increase on the earlier estimate of A$5.6bn. The cost of natural disasters at home is not the only worry for the Australian economy. It is also likely to feel the pinch of the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan, its second largest trading partner, on March 11th.
Australia exported 15 per cent of its goods to Japan in 2009-10. The biggest sectors are iron ore and coal, with Japan accounting for 27 per cent of shipments of those commodities. The quake and tsunami have hit Japanese industry hard with production at some of Japan's biggest manufacturers being halted or suspended. The treasury department said that this is likely to result in a loss of A$2bn (£1.2bn) worth of trade for Australia.
Bodies from crash found Undersea robots uncovered bodies on Sunday of those killed in Air France's 2009 plane crash off Brazil last year, as well as a large part of the wreckage. French officials said specialists would start recovering them within weeks. The "black-box" flight recorders have not yet been spotted, but investigators have expressed hope they
will be found. The Parisbound Air France jet went down in the Atlantic, killing all 228 passenger, hours after it took off from Rio de Janeiro on June 1st. The cause of the disaster remains unknown. Although debris was recovered soon after the accident, most of the wreckage sank, and three previous attempts to find the plane were largely
unsuccessful. But the fourth attempt, using robots capable of operating 4,000m below the ocean's surface, uncovered a substantial part of the plane. Officials said the victims' relatives would be kept informed of the operation's progress. Those who died came from more than 30 countries, though most were French, Brazilian or German.

Royal Gibraltar Regiment band concert in cave
On Thursday May 5th The Rotary Club of Gibraltar are organising a follow up to the wonderful Charity Concert they held in the Caves before Christmas. This charity concert is to be held in The Ballroom of The Governor’s Residence which is also quite impressive, but is limited to 150 people. This is a rare opportunity to enter the Governor’s Residence. A smaller band from The Royal Gibraltar Regiment will be performing, as will The National Choir of Gibraltar together with several soloists (some old and some new). The concert is called Musical Memories and is designed to suit all tastes in
music. Money raised will go to cancer charities. For residents of Estepona, a coach will go from Estepona Bull Ring at an extra cost. The cost for tickets for the concert is £20 each which includes a drink in the interval, plus €6 towards the cost of the coach for those from Estepona, who can obtain their tickets from Chris Rawlinson, President of the Rotary Club, Estepona. Call Chris on 952 793 969 to book your place.

UK News Remains identified The remains of the second body found during investigations into the disappearance and subsequent murder of Sian O’Callaghan have been named as that of Rebecca Godden-Edwards who would have been celebrating her 29th birthday on Monday, had she lived. The same taxi driver that has been accused of Sian O’Callaghan’s murder, 47year-old Christopher Halliwell, will be questioned by police in connection with the Rebecca Godden -Edwards enquiries. Miss Godden -Edwards lost touch with her family
in 2003 and they thought that she had moved to Bristol from her hometown of Swindon. In 2007, the family reported her to the National Missing Persons Helpline in 2007Her remains were found in an Eastleach, Gloucestershire field. Police are confident that they have the right identity after finding a DNA match to Miss Godden-Edwards with a probability approaching one in a billion. Search teams left flowers and a cross in the field with a card which read: "To an unknown lady. Now you can rest in peace."
Health protests against cuts Hundreds of nurses, paramedics, cooks cleaners, and therapists have staged a demonstration against Government cuts to the health service threatening industrial action if changes aren’t made. In a conference in Liverpool union delegates said that the coalition government had “thrown a grenade” into the middle of healthcare.

It is thought that the teenager, who is under armed police guard is

Embassy issues registration advice For those Britons and EU residents who have been told conflicting stories at their local town halls about their last chance to register for May's local elections, the British embassy in Madrid has issued the following communiqué: “Everyone registered on the padrón as a resident in Spain, including British nationals, has until and including Monday April 11th to check with their
town hall whether they are on the list of registered voters, ahead of the local and regional elections across Spain on May 22nd. If not on the list, residents can request to be added using reclamacion forms available at the town hall. (In a few cases, it is possible that town halls may lack the necessary IT systems to enable checks). The elections are your
opportunity to have your say in who makes the decisions about public services in your area, and an opportunity for British residents to take part in Spain's democratic system and further integrate into Spanish life. Registering on the padrón is an important part of living in Spain, and checking that you are on the list of registered voters will ensure that on May 22nd you have the right to cast your vote”.

Muriel Pilkington
Martin Delfín Writes for the English language version of
Past, present, future imperfect Nothing has changed
Z
apatero finally put us all out of our misery last Saturday with his announcement that he will not be running for a third term. The newspapers have not stopped analysing his decision for a minute and the articles on possible successors are never-ending. If Zapatero wanted to take everyone's mind off the succession question, he failed miserably. All the obvious contenders – and there are quite a few out there in the paddock, as well as a few dark horses lurking in the stables – occupy every square millimetre of newsprint and you'd never guess that we have regional and local elections just seven weeks away.
Past imperfect
O
ne of the most absorbing topics for the pen-pushers is just how did such a popular PM turn into one of the least popular of them all. Not even Aznar's popularity dropped so low after he took Spain into Iraq, despite considerable help from Zapatero and all his arty-farty friends. Nothing like leading a protest demo with some of the country's most popular film stars to turn you into the Devil incarnate in the public's eye.
O
f course, the press is to blame for building him up to a height that his mediocrity could not sustain. He's not as good-looking, urbane – or as politically able – as Adolfo Suarez. He is certainly not on the same intellectual level as Felipe Gonzalez and – like or love Aznar – the latter didn't put a foot wrong when it came to economic matters.
S
o what did Zapatero have? Good PR and a lot of journalists with left-wing leanings who hailed him as the golden boy to bring in an ideal Socialist Eden that would last for a thousand years. Believe me, that was what one Catalan journalist said on a serious political programme – that Zapatero would last for a thousand years. She was dropped from the show for several months until TVE1 felt viewers would have forgotten her unfortunate Nazi-sounding remark.
into a sense of security. At least that's the best case scenario for the Socialists, whose main personality trait seems to be cockeyed optimism.
T
hey've been frolicking around since Saturday, crowing that Zapatero's announcement will reveal the poverty of opposition leader Mariano Rajoy's ideas. What's he going to do now that he no longer has Zapatero to attack, they say. Does this mean that Zapatero will be disappearing off the scene, I ask. If so, he should resign now and call an election. Unfortunately, we'll still have to put up with that stupid grin for a few months yet. In fact, his grin has been even broader since Saturday. He's been much more relaxed, he's lost that haunted look and he's even been joking around. He's obviously so relieved that the burden will soon be lifted from his shoulders and that he is not facing another four-year-long nightmare.
T
he only annoying thing about him not running again is that he'll go down in history as the only PM since Franco's death not to have lost an election. Suarez resigned so as not lose an election, Gonzalez lost one before he became PM then lost out to Aznar, who had already lost one election before winning in 1996. And Rajoy has already lost two.
Future imperfect
F
or some reason, a big rumour in newsrooms in Madrid is that Zapatero intends to go back on his announcement after the May 22nd elections. I'm still trying to work out the reasoning behind such a ludicrous idea. Not even Zapatero is capable of such a Uturn. Is he?
S
T
he Popular Party has been left out in the cold – they don’t have José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero to kick around anymore. It's now time for the PP to begin showing their cards, including the aces they have up their sleeves and prove to Spaniards they can do it better. But they won’t. After years of criticising and blaming Zapatero for the economic mess and without offering any real alternatives, Mariano Rajoy and his team do not have any concrete solutions. In fact, it may even be safe to say that Zapatero’s announcement on Saturday that he that he won’t be running for a third term did indeed catch PP leaders by surprise even though their official organ El Mundo had reported it several weeks in advance. No one from the conservative party has rolled up their sleeves and said “now that he’s on his way out, let’s get down to business.” It took two days for Rajoy to react to the news, and when he did on Monday during a free-wheeling talk on the SER radio network he was as vague as ever. He assured listeners that “nothing has changed” and his party would continue to blame the Socialists for all the current problems that Spaniards are facing. He is right - nothing has changed over on his side either.
T
Present imperfect o what can we expect from the man now. The opposition is calling him a lame duck, insisting he should bring forward the general election, but it's too early for that. If the Socialists take a really bad beating in the May regional and local elections – and I'm not making any predictions – he may have to do so. But by then the summer will be coming fast upon us, people's thoughts will turn to exotic and not-so-exotic vacations. Come the autumn, they'll be looking forward to Christmas. If I remember rightly, Parliament breaks up in January so that the polls concentrate on the March election and everyone will be lulled

Getting registered
Y
ou still have till the end of the week to get on the electoral roll. Read the notice from the British embassy in Madrid, published deliberately on page 11 to counteract the message that some town halls are putting out, namely, that anyone who says this is a “window week” for registering is lying. I wasn't lying when I published that bit of news a few weeks back but I'm beginning to suspect that some councils are running scared and want to keep us off the list, believing that we'll vote for the other party.
he Socialists were divided on the timing as to when Zapatero should announce his political future. Party “barons” – the regional leaders – wanted the prime minister to state his plans before the upcoming May 22nd local and regional elections to avoid turning the vote into a referendum on his government’s policies. Others, including many business leaders, wanted him to wait until next year so he could focus on the economy. The latter choice would have been the more desirable option because - as I had said in the previous column - it would shorten the campaign for next year’s general elections and keep everyone focused on dealing with national matters of the utmost urgency. Now everybody across the political spectrum is speculating about who Zapatero’s successor will be. Socialists intend to have a party primary in July before Spaniards go on holiday; the outcome will make for good summer
Carmen Chacón
terrace talk. The two most visible candidates continue to be deputy prime minister Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba and defence chief Carme Chacón, but neither of them are saying whether they intend to seek the party’s nomination.
Z
apatero says he wants his successor and the party to have plenty of time to draft a platform and plan the 2012 campaign, but he isn’t identifying his preferred candidate. The prime minister also believes that by announcing his plans early he can neutralise the impact on the regional and local races, where Socialists are projected to lose widely in Madrid , Valencia and Castilla-La Mancha. "Now, not one candidate will be able to blame Zapatero for the outcome of the election," said Extremadura regional leader Guillermo Fernández-Vara on Saturday.
O
ver at the opposition, we’re getting the same rhetoric as always. Secretary General María Dolores de Cospedal has called for early elections while Rajoy is also transmitting weak signals as to what he intends to do when and if he finally reaches Moncloa. The only real issue he has made clear is changing the abortion law. Last year, the Socialist government introduced reforms to the 1985 law that allows girls ages 16 and 17 to have the procedure without their parents’ consent, and women to seek it on demand up until the 14th week of their pregnancy and allowed it with some restrictions until the 22nd week. Rajoy believes it is better to sacrifice the female vote in favour of the ballots coming from Spain’s larger conservative sector. But he still won’t say what he will do with the gay marriage law so as not to hurt his chances with the homosexual community.
T
he race for 2012 has begun and it is time for Rajoy and the PP to come up with some clearer signals. As Zapatero said on Sunday, the day after he announced he was stepping aside: "I am happy that the PP is going to benefit from the decision I announced yesterday; now they are going to have to come up with a platform, because all they have concentrated on is attacking me.”

PAD Show success Bus to the The PAD Dog Show held at the Centro Nordico in Mijas was a great success despite the weather forecast, with just a bit of rain falling now and again meaning the show went ahead as planned. Of course, all the dogs were winners in themselves and the judges had a very hard job choosing which ones should get medals and cups.
The overall winner was a little daschund called Cosmo (above) with smooth, sleek and shiny fur - a real credit to his owner. The dog that came second overall was Chino and following Chino was Sammy. Cosmo also won best puppy under 1 year old. And Chino also won best adult small dog under 12 kg. The winner of the category Dog Most Like Its Owner was British Bulldog George who owns Jim sorry, it’s Jim that’s the owner and George that’s the dog - they were so alike it gets confusing! The other fun category was Best Dog and Owner in Fancy Dress which was won by Princess Leia Victoria and Ewok Holly. Best Adult Medium Dog 12-30kg was Rando and Best Adult Large Dog over 30kg was Golden Retriever Harry while Best Six Legs was won by Sammy and owner Maureen.

Two of the dogs that took part and are looking for homes are Pancho (above) and Roddy - either of which, had I not already got a housefull, I would happily have taken home. Pancho has been in the shelter for over two years. He is one of those dogs that, although he’s lovely looking with his white and tan coat, he’s neither big nor small, handsome or ugly so people seem to walk by him. However, what Pancho does have is lots of love to give a new owner so, if you’re looking for a new friend, why not give Pancho the chance he’d love to have. Roddy (below) is black and tan short legged little thing that is absolutely gorgeous and is still under a year old. His feet sit like a bloodhound at right angles! He has a fantastically docile personality and wants to please. If you can give either of these dogs a home, please call Lisa on 658 351 642. By Kym Wickham

“THE NEWS”WANTS TO HEAR YOUR VIEWS Send letters to the editor as part of an e-mail text to editorial@thenewsonline.es
Graham Cherry I am pleased that Valerie Jeffrey enjoyed her visit to the show at TAPAS recently but the comment of her friend that ‘You wouldn’t encourage your children to read badly written books so why take them to see amateur dramatics’ shows a woeful ignorance of the theatre that is available both here and when visiting English speaking communities around the world. Of course standards vary but perhaps my, fairly typical, experience as an amateur (mostly) performer can illustrate what she and her friend could be missing. I began with an amateur company in West London at a time when Arnold Wesker was encouraging professionals to be involved with communities. (I remember Simon Ward playing Hamlet in the local secondary modern school) All the teachers on the course I took came from RADA or Central. While I was at the Questors (now the largest amateur theatre company in Europe with three theatres and 3000 members) two plays written for members transferred into the West End and an important playwright (James Saunders) was discovered. Like many amateur actors I have spent many hours in workshops and short courses and I believe we all take improving our standards to be one of the reasons we continue to perform. And we don’t get cast unless we do! Subsequently I have worked in amateur companies with young professionals who
Torremolinos were showing off their skills to agents etc. and who wanted to make sure the rest of the cast were good enough to prevent the agent heading for the door, with older professionals who couldn’t reconcile a touring, away from base life, with family life or with actors who were honing their skills with more demanding parts than they could currently get in the theatre. On occasion the majority of the cast held equity cards. Rarely could an outsider tell which of us were which. And the equity card holder didn’t always have the leading part. There have been other occasions when plays began as an unpaid theatre work and then built to the West End. In Brighton I was one of a small audience above a pub for the beginning of the hit musical ‘A Slice of Saturday Night’. What an amateur night that was! Also incidentally I was one of the audience when a distinguished and famous professional forgot so many lines the pre West End show was almost called off at the Theatre Royal. Here I have performed at the Salon Varietes with actors who have appeared in the West End and on TV and with young actors setting out with high aims. The very edition of the News which had the letter from Ms.Jeffrey also had the ‘WOW’ factor final with a rave review from your editor. There were three Salon performers, one of whom won it. This year The News has reported that two former performers at our theatre
have done extremely well with one getting a final place on Operation Triunfo and another appearing in ‘The Tudors’ before heading off to a contract in Hollywood. Currently I am working with some very talented young people in a production of Samuel Beckett’s ‘Endgame’ in English at the ESAD Theatre in Malaga. The director is heading for a Masters at RADA and the other members of the cast already cover much of their student costs with paid-for professional work. I am sure I shall see some of them on TV or film one day. It has been a demanding and rewarding experience working with them. To sum up, theatre operates on a spectrum from the great subsidized theatres via West End to local theatres then profit share, unpaid work (the London fringe has some really good stuff but they are amateur when they do it) and serious committed amateur theatre of a high standard to what I call ‘am dram’ – village hall fun productions, worthy but you know what to expect and it can still beat the telly. I hope that Ms. Jeffrey’s friend reconsiders her unwise remark. She must have already missed so much good stuff it would be a pity to miss any more. Editors note: Great CV Graham. Valerie Jeffrey was saying that she felt that amateur dramatics performances here were very good and she was telling the potential audience precisely that!
PET OF THE WEEK
PANCHO Poor Pancho! It could be you he’s looking for! All he wants is a permanent home and a little tender loving care but he can’t seem to find anybody to give him it. Pancho has been at the PAD rescue centre for two years! - too long for any dog - and keeps getting passed by in favour of other perhaps prettier dogs. However, Pancho has a lovely temparament and would make a fabulous pet for someone. He loves being with people and being taken for a walk and was really good all day at last weekend’s PAD dog show where he entered two of the classes. If you think you can give Pancho the love and care he deserves, give Lisa a ring on 658 351 642 and make Pancho smile!

e Lord Of e Rings This coming week will be your best chance to see the most beautiful planet in the Solar System as Saturn makes its closest approach to the Earth. When an outer planet such as Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune are at their closest to Earth then they must be directly opposite us to the Sun and we call it opposition. They then rise at sunset and are due south at midnight then set at sunrise. This week Saturn is in opposition at a mere 800 million miles away from us. Saturn is the 6th planet from the Sun and the second largest planet after Jupiter - in historical times it was believed that Saturn was the last planet in the solar system until Uranus was discovered in 1781. It has a diameter about 9 times that of the Earth but unlike the Earth Saturn is not a solid mass of rock; instead it is a gas giant made up of a huge ball of mainly hydrogen gas. And where the Earth takes one year to orbit the Sun, Saturn takes 29 ½ years to go around once. It has at least 62 moons going around it at the last count, the largest of which –Titan- is about twice the size of our Moon and is big enough to even have an atmosphere of its own. A NASA space probe called Cassini has been in orbit around Saturn since 2004 sending back incredible images of the planet. Another probe was dispatched from Cassini and managed to land on the moon Titan; it too sent back a flood of information telling us about its atmosphere and surface conditions. But the most spectacular feature about Saturn has to be the amazing ring system that encircles the planet around its equator. The rings were first spotted by Galileo in 1610 but he couldn’t explain what they were. At first he thought that it was actually three planets very close to each other; it took another 50 years for a Dutch astronomer to realise that they were actually rings around the planet. The rings are not solid but are made up
from billions of pieces of rock and water ice ranging in size from dust particles up to the largest, which are a few metres across. It is thought that they are the remnants of a moon that broke up due to Saturn’s immense gravity. The rings extend to over 120,000km above the surface but incredibly are no more than about 20 metres in thickness. They are also not one complete ring but are split into at least 9 different sections divided by empty gaps. The widest gap is called the Cassini division and can be easily seen from earth. As Saturn orbits the Sun its appearance to us changes; for some of its orbit the rings are seen ‘wide open’ and at other times they are ‘edge on’ to us as they were in 2009, and so completely invisible. They are now beginning to open up again and will be fully open in around 2016 but even now they can be seen with a decent pair of binoculars. Through the smallest of telescopes they make a spectacular sight that you will never forget. Saturn was the first thing I ever saw through a friend’s telescope when I was about 10 years old. To find Saturn yourself go outside at about 10pm and look to the South East direction and about half way up the sky you will see the three brightest stars in that part of the sky, they are very easy to spot. The upper one is Arcturus, the lower one is Spica and just to the upper right of Spica you’ll find Saturn.

e sweet taste of history... Malaga is firmly on the map for its cultural, artistic and archaeological heritage which Written by is visible in every way through the city’s monuments and museums.
A
nd it is also possible to visit the city and literally taste an important part of the province’s history.
S
tep through the doors of the Malaga Wine Museum, housed in the reformed 18th century Palace de Biedma in the historic heart of the city and enter the complex world of wine making in Malaga province – an “art form” that goes back centuries.
T
he museum, opened last year, stretches over 800 square metres and aims to reveal the history, culture and art of wine making to wine lovers and novices alike – and provides the opportunity to taste the fruits of that success. Malaga wine has been famous throughout Europe
over the centuries and is still a much loved wine today.
T
he museum is the headquarters for Malaga’s Board of Designation of Origin for Sierras de Malaga’s red, white and rosé wines and Pasas de Malaga sweet wines, and the exhibitions include more than 400 beautifully drawn old labels for bottles and barrels, posters and ancient agricultural implements – all leading to the wine tasting room where you can sample the produce.
I
t’s believed that the Greeks settled in Malaga and taught the local people how to cultivate vines around 600BC, and one of the first real clues as to the age of the industry was
discovered in Cartama, when a fermentation tank dating back to the early Roman Empire was discovered.
D
uring the Moorish conquest the laws of the Koran, which prohibited drinking alcohol, came into conflict with the local wine growing and drinking tradition but the Moors moved from punitive punishments to taxes when they realised the economic value to the public purse. And when the Catholic monarchs reconquered Malaga in 1487 they established the Hermandad de Viñeros (Winemakers Guild) to protect and nurture wine making in the region, recognising that not only did it create local wealth and happiness, but it was
also an asset the the Royal Treasury.
I
n the 18th century the sweet Malaga wine had become a firm favourite of Russia’s Empress Catherine II and she kindly decreed that it was exempt from tax. Centuries earlier, in 1224, the King of France, Philip Auguste, had organised a Battle of The Wines – drawing together the most prestigious wines in what might have been the first ever wine tasting contest – as a result Malaga wine was designated the Cardinal of Wines. Malaga wine has even had a name check in a Rossini opera.

LIVE MUSIC
Jazz concert by local star coming soon The Marcos Merino Trio will put on their “Tribute to Herbie Hancock” jazz concert on Friday, April 15th, at 9 pm in the Teatro Las Lagunas, Mijas Costa. Pianist Marcos Merino formed the Trio as a way of expressing his music which he felt could only be achieved by a three musicians. He believes that Herbie Hancock's music is indispensable for anyone who wants to seriously penetrate contemporary jazz piano, both because of Hancock's talent as a composer and his relevance as a jazz musician and pianist. The starting point is Herbie Hancock's own repertoire, to which is added Marcos's own compositions as well as those of the other two members of the trio, which
are always within the aesthetics of this genre. But beyond the compositions used, the trio's main objective is to achieve the energy and above all the spirit of the musical universe of the legendary pianist and his music. The trio members are Marcos Merino (Malaga), Pau Sala (Barcelona) and Roger Gutierrez (Lleida) who currently live in Barcelona, where they are studying and taking part in other musical projects on the local scene. Marcos Merino was born in Fuengirola in December
1988. He was seven when he began to study music in Fuengirola's Elemental Conservatory and later at the Manuel Carra Professional Conservatory in Malaga, under the tutelage of Jesus Pedro Castro. He went to Barcelona in 2006 to begin his higher studies in jazz at the Conservatori del Liceu. He studied piano with Mariano Diaz, arrangements with Sergi Vergés, combos and improvisation with Victor de Diego, Jon Robles and David Mengual, among others. Parallel to his studies at
the conservatory, he took private classes with Albert Bover and Joan Diaz (piano), and Lluis Verges (arrangements and composition). He also attended seminars given by Kenny Barron, Jerry Bergonzi, Dave Santoro, Jorge Rossy, Dick Oatts and other musicians. In 2009 he won a scholarship at the prestigious College of Music, University of North Texas, to study with pianist Stefan Karlsson (Eddie Gomez trio). He also had classes with Ed Soph and Dan Haerle, among others.

historians believe that the variety of vine producing the famous sweet grape took its name from Pero Ximén, who was probably a Christian farmer at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century, and his name today appears as either Pero or Pedro Ximén on bottles of the delicious liquor wine, perfect as a pudding wine and equally delicious as a chilled pickme-up.

Ranchito Restaurant: small, Raisins and good and a little different Lisbon with The Ranchito Restaurant in Los Boliches has been with the same owners Barbara and Jerry Laycock for 24 years this year. That's quite an achievement on the ever changing Costa del Sol and to mark the occasion they are giving away a free half bottle of wine per customer with their main evening meals and lunch time menus of the day*. The Ranchito is a little different to many restaurants, for a start it's quite small with maximum seating of just 14 people, and the food is different too. Strong consideration is given to the variety, choice and presentation of the vegetables that accompany your meal (in fact it's more or less their trade mark), they provide a full vegetarian menu in addition to the fish and meat à la carte and its true that, so often “the veg” in many restaurants is almost an afterthought but not here, here “good vegetables are considered to make the meal”. The three course menu
of the day at lunch time is well priced for €13.50 and is a choice from several Ranchito starters; pate, soup, crêpes or a tasty filled Vol au vent (try avocado and prawn). Main courses include pork loin with glazed apple and brandy, chicken in wine and mushroom, swordfish, hake or a tasty leek and walnut risotto followed by a choice of lovely homemade puddings and of course your free half bottle of wine.

Rio
King’s Speech rolls on
BY CARLOS SALDANHA Voices by Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx
The production and direction team behind the Ice Age movies head off to sun and samba and produce a movie that is a ray of sunshine. The star of Rio is Blu (Eisenberg), a domesticated bird living in Minnesota with his owner Linda (Lesley Mann). It turns out that he is a rare type of macaw on the brink of extinction, and he is urgently needed to mate with the last remaining female macaw of his kind, Jewel (Hathaway), in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, if the species is to be saved. But no sooner is Blu introduced to Jewel than they are kidnapped by a bird smuggling gang working hand in glove with the baddie, a cockatoo called Nigel. But it all goes wrong and Blu and Jewel are left chained together, and
stranded in the jungle. Oh, and the big problem here is that sadly, Blu has never been able fly. So, how do the two reach safety? It’s a coming of age road movie in which Blu finds his wings, with a fantastic soundtrack – Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am has two tracks – ending up with a spectacular finale set, inevitably, during the Rio carnival. It’s full of thrilling action, fantastic animation, and fabulous scenery that actually comes alive with artful 3D. The actors have a whale of a time and it’s a must-see for mums,dads and kids.

Oscar winning The King’s Speech is a huge hit in Germany and is about to overtake Slumdog Millionaire’s worldwide box office success. The movie’s German distributors say that Germans are more interested in the story of personal triumph rather than the historical content – the film charts the battle
of King George VI as he struggles with his stammer, and concludes as Britain goes to war. The film cost just $15 million to make but has taken $374 million worldwide and will very soon overtake Slumdog’s total of $376 million. In terms of British films only the Abba inspired Mama Mia! has taken more.
Travolta da Mobster John Travolta will play legendary crime boss John Gotti in an upcoming movie about the mobster’s life. The
film will be directed by Nick Cassavetes on a shoestring budget of £9 million. Gotti died in prison in 2002.

It takes a great deal to take the inner depth of your emotion and put it out there for all or even one person to witness, but by being bold and honest this week an opportunity will present itself to showcase your material.
1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the egg noodles; return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain; return to the pot and stir in the butter.
Success is in the detail at the moment and you are about to unearth a few handy facts that will help you to understand the bigger picture. The other trick is learning to love what you really don’t like or do what you really don’t want to do - when you do this, doors open. Some new information is filtering your way and this will help you to refine what it is you wish to create in your life. Put the hours in and rewards will be coming your way.
2. Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly
Live in the moment and focus on what you have to do one step at a time - even though it seems like you have a huge task in front of you, tackle it bit by bit so that you don’t get overwhelmed. You have reached a bend in the road, not a fork or a crossroads but a significant bend. It is going to take more of your energy and focus to manage this turn but the depth of your desire will help you reach your destination. A key relationship in your life needs to find a resolution.

You are likely to find that some of those around you seem self-absorbed this week and the best thing you can do is to stay out of any conflicts if you are being urged to take sides. Relationship opportunities abound and you will want to have the space and time to enjoy these moments to the full. You are being given the chance to re-write a script of your togetherness with that rd September 23 - special someone. Home improvements or decorating keeps you busy. nd

Place the onion into the skillet with the bacon grease, and cook and stir over medium heat until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cabbage, and cook and stir until wilted, about 5 minutes. Chop the bacon, add it to the skillet, and cook until the cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the noodles, and continue cooking just until heated through.

LESSON
VIRGO
Taurus, you are more than determined when you set your mind in one direction and it is times like this where that difference really shines through. Just don’t become so fixed on a certain conclusion or idea that you don’t remain open to alternatives and completely miss the magic and miracles that are trying to happen. Everything you want and need is so close that it is not going to take much of an effort to reach out and take hold. Love and romance is in the air too.
(Serves 4)
Time after time Time is translated by a number of words in Spanish depending on what kind of time you are talking about.

SCORPIO
October 23rd November 21st
Black and white are the colours you prefer because you know where you are and where you stand - when things get a little grey you can feel out of your depth and push a situation until it becomes a “true” colour. This week it is time to use your will to fix something that you may have pushed too far and find a way back to better ground. You are being asked to see yourself and your actions objectively and then to put your energy into its recovery.
SAGITTARIUS Sometimes we are all too quick to judge and this week is no exception. However, there is not a problem out there that does not hold some kind of solution. Something has reached its limit; it has gone as far as it can go. Think things through; cool yourself down before you act with haste. Whether you realise it or not what you really need now is reassurance, security, comfort and November 22nd - strength. Perhaps it is time to extend the olive branch to someone in need December 21st and it will be returned tenfold.
CAPRICORN There is a desire to put down roots, to lay a firm foundation for the future. You have been experiencing a time of enlightenment when it has become all too apparent what is rock solid in your life and what is made up of sand and illusions. Make a plan, sift out all that is no longer working for you, and get ready to take action. You know what you want now and know how to create a nd December 22 vision for the future. Get ready to soar.

PISCES
February 19th March 20th
In some ways you feel like you were born way ahead of your time and yet in other ways you feel left way behind. Recently you may have thought that you were ahead of the game but others have now started to catch up - at last they can finally understand what you have been trying to say for so long. Socially this is a great time to catch up with friends and acquaintances, just don’t allow others’ negativity to drag you down, stay positive.
Are you ready to receive – you usually do all the giving but this week allow someone to give a little back. There is a need for greater balance in your life and what has value will become apparent and what is a waste of time will seem obvious. You have financial insights that need to be acted upon and you instinctively know what needs to happen. Keep focused on what you are doing and don’t allow yourself to become distracted or side-tracked by others.
If you are talking about time in general it's "tiempo" No tengo tiempo para leer el periódico - I don't have time to read the newspaper. Dura mucho tiempo - It lasts a long time. Todo el tiempo - All the time Just to confuse the issue, tiempo can also be used to mean weather. ¿Qué tiempo hace? - What's the weather like? Hace buen tiempo hoy - The weather is nice today. If you want time to mean occasion its vez/veces. Fui al teatro una vez - I went to the theatre once. Vamos a Madrid dos veces al año - We go to Madrid twice a year. Visito a mi abuela tres veces a la semana - I visit my Granny three times a week. A veces means sometimes La primera vez - The first time La ultima vez - The last time De vez en cuando - From time to time And a little saying Una vez al año no hace daño which translates loosely as Once in a blue moon never hurt anyone. Clock time is la hora. ¿Qué hora es? - What time is it? Tengo una hora libre - I have a free hour Hace tres horas - Three hours ago Es hora de comer - It's time to eat Ya es hora de irme - Now it's time for me to go. Adios amigos.
Hasta la próxima - Until next time. Valerie

ROYAL WEDDING
Cruising the Boulevard Oscar winning Spanish actress Penelope Cruz has unveiled her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, flanked by her husband Javier Bardem and co-star and leading man Johnny Depp.
Support a cause and celebrate the royal special day
The 36-year-old received the 2,436th star on the Walk of Fame, which stretches along Hollywood Boulevard, and the ceremony comes before next month’s release of Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, in which she stars with Depp. Penelope Cruz is the
only Spanish actress to have so far received the award and joked at the ceremony that when she arrived in the US in 1994 she only knew two phrases in English – “How are you?” and “I want to work with Johnny Depp” but now can add “I want to work with Johnny Depp again”. She won her Oscar for her performance in Woody Allen’s Vicky Christina Barcelona, in which she starred with husband to be Bardem, and the couple had a son, Leonardo, in January.
Princess-to-be kate Middleton was bullied at school as a 13-year-old and her parents had to step in and move her to another school. But kate never forgot the nightmare and the charity BeatBullying is one of 26 to benefit from kate’s wedding to Prince William on April 29th. The young couple have chosen a list of charities that they would like to help and they want well-wishers to support a cause instead of spending hard earned cash on a gift for their special day. The couple have released a private wedding list so close friends, family and other wedding guests can help furnish their Anglesey cottage near William’s RAF base, and a flat in London, probably in Kensington Palace – so, looks like they will need two toasters after all. When William’s parents Prince Charles and Diana married they received more than 6,000 gifts from the public. His grandparents, The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, received more than 2,500 gifts from around the world when they married in 1947 – including a race horse and 133 pairs of nylon stockings – in short supply because of post-war rationing.
But William and Kate are anxious that people do not spend on a gift for them but back the beneficiaries listed on their special website. The 26 charities include a child bereavement organisation, young people, a London Zoo project to save the black rhino in Kenya – the Prince proposed there – a fund for terminally ill children, a number of armed forces support charities, and the New Zealand Christ Church earthquake appeal. Many of the beneficiaries on the list have not received royal support before and a number are small charities who find fund raising tough. So, for anyone wanting to mark the royal wedding with a gift, the site to visit is The Prince William and Catherine Middleton Charitable Gift Fund. In the meantime William’s father the Prince of Wales
found himself in the middle of the on-going row over the disputed territory of Gibraltar during his visit to Spain, when the Spanish heir to the throne waded in during a gala dinner in Madrid to welcome the Prince and the Duchess of Cornwell on their first official visit together to the country ( pictured above). Prince Felipe said in a speech at the Palacio Real that he hoped the authorities make progress towards solving the “historic bilateral dispute which is yet to be resolved” – he was careful not to mention Gibraltar by name. Spain still claims sovereignty over the Rock, and the Prince and the Duchess have avoided visiting Gibraltar during their first tour of the Iberian peninsula. Prince Felipe’s comments surprised commentators in Spain because they were unexpected but were applauded by some
politicians Prince Charles carefully commented that the relationship between the UK and Spain was one of the oldest and deepest and was founded on mutual respect and admiration, irrespective of the side of any argument on which the two have found themselves . Prince Charles visited Gibraltar on his honeymoon with Princess Diana in 1981 – a decision that led to King Juan Carlos of Spain turning down his invitation to their wedding. But Felipe’s remarks are unlikely to affect to state of play for William and Kate’s wedding – the King, Queen Sofia and Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia are on the guest list. William and Kate aren’t planning on a visit to Gibraltar – but Paddy Power has Benidorm at 80/1 for those interested in a flutter.

12,000 baby teeth needed
Midwife shortage costing lives
Art and science have united for a project needing 12,000 baby teeth to decorate a "coral castle" which is designed to inspire debate about adult stem cells. The project was designed by Professor Sara Rankin, a biologist at Imperial College London, and the artist Gina Czarnecki, to promote awareness about adult stem cells. They said arguments about stem cells were focused mostly on the ethics of using embryos. Professor Rankin said people believed stem cells only come from embryos. But they also come from fat and liposuction could provide a lot of stem cells.
She said there were different types of stem cell that people were not aware of, such as those found in bone marrow or umbilical cord, which could be used to develop new treatments without any ethical issues. The dental pulp in milk teeth was another, albeit small, source of adult stem cells. Some scientists were trying to grow new teeth using these cells. Children are being asked to donate their teeth to the project,
called Palaces, which will then create a sculpture out of them. The project is making sure the children will not lose out financially by giving them an "IOU one milk tooth" token to give to the tooth fairy. The finished artwork will be 2m high, made of crystal resin and then decorated with milk teeth. It will go on display at the Bluecoat in Liverpool in December and then move to the Science Museum in London next year.

One in three women worldwide gives birth without expert help, according to a study by UK charity Save the Children, and more than one million babies a year die because of a global shortage of 350,000 midwives. The charity, which is launching a campaign for more midwives, said more babies in poorer countries died from lack of oxygen at birth than from malaria. It said women in the poorest countries were the least likely to have a skilled attendant present at delivery, were much more likely to lose their child and were the most likely to die during childbirth. Each year 48 million women around the world gave birth without expert help. In Ethiopia, 94% of women gave birth without trained help, while in the UK the figure is only 1%, the charity said. In the UK where there are 749,000 births a year - there are
Researchers at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia tested elaborately adorned pottery bought in stores in the local Chinatown and found that more than a quarter had a lead content high enough to cause health problems. 26,825 working midwives, while in Rwanda, where 400,000 babies are born a year, there are only 46. Afghanistan has one of the highest infant mortality rates, with 52 in every 1,000 births ending in death. The report said Afghan women faced a one in 11 risk of dying from complications during pregnancy and childbirth. One in five children dies before the age of five. The charity is urging world leaders to show the political will to improve access to midwives and healthcare globally.

Additional laboratory tests were carried out on 25 pieces to determine if the lead was leachable, that is, if it could be ingested along with food. Three plates and two spoons were found to be leaching lead in quantities that far exceeded the limits set by the Food and Drug Administration. One of the plates leached lead at more than 145 parts per million. The agency’s limit is 2 parts per million. The researchers sent their data to the F.D.A., and a spokesman said the agency was following it up. The researchers have stressed that it is the manufacturers of the pottery that were at fault, not the stores that sold it. They said they hoped the FDA would track the pottery to its source and take the necessary action.
App that can detect deadly diseases An app invented by three dermatologists at Madrid's Ramón y Cajal Hospital is now helping doctors there to distinguish between harmless freckles and dermatitis, or a spot that could be a possible cancer. The DermoMap contains high-resolution photos of the 100 most common skin diseases which account for 95 per cent of all diagnoses, described in largely nontechnical terms that anyone can understand. The app also helps to diagnose by asking doctor or patient about the symptoms and then filters through dozens of possible complaints to identify the most likely.

Sports & Motors n 29 Lee Westwood jet is forced to land World number two Lee Westwood's private jet made an emergency landing as he flew to the Masters at Augusta after a fire broke out in the cockpit. Westwood, who was travelling from the Houston Open with Ryder Cup team-mate Ross Fisher, said it was "a bit scary". "It never looks good when you can smell smoke and the pilots have put masks on," added the 2010 Masters runner-up.
Seve Ballesteros Foundation Challenge Campo America at La Cala Resort, the biggest golf complex in Spain, will be one of the courses to host the Seve Ballesteros Foundation Challenge on Saturday, coinciding with the golfer’s birthday. It is hoped that more than 12,000 fans will take part in this charity tournament which aims to raise funds for the Seve Ballesteros Foundation, a private institution which helps with research into brain tumours. The foundation, created in June 2009, will use the money raised in this tournament to launch the FSB-CNIO laboratory, a lab which will undertake research into brain tumours, a type of cancer which affects men and women almost equally, with children under 10 years and adults over 50 years being the most at risk groups (the average age is 56). In the Seve Ballesteros

The format will be medal play (hcap) with maximum double par, a popular format as it allows the player to pick up the ball during the strokeplay competition without penalty. There will be trophies for the best two results in each of the six categories, (hcps 0-5.4, 5.5-10.4, 10.5-15.4, 15.5-20.4, 20.5-25.4 and 25.5-36.4) and a further prize for the best overall scratch result of the day. Men and ladies will participate in the same
categories. Furthermore, exclusively to La Cala Resort, the best result of a Spanish nationality participant in each of the six categories will qualify for a place in the national final of the World Golfers’ Championship which will take place at La Cala Resort during the last week of August.

Southern Spanish Cricket League Cartama Oval Here on the Costa del Sol we are not accustomed to the weather playing a significant part in the outcome of a cricket match. Malaga CC v Combined Colleges CC Saturday, April 3rd. Combined Colleges CC by 5 wickets. Malaga CC won the toss and elected to bat.Malaga CC 163 All Out, 4 points. Combined Colleges 164 5, 19 points.
Malaga rocking. 50 for 1 off ten overs suddenly became 54 for 4 off twelve overs. Atif Rashid and Waqas Ali brought a bit of stability, taking the score on before Waqas hit a cracking square cut with laser guided precision to Previn Menon at point.
This match was an exception, with Malaga CC unfortunate to be left holding the dirty end of the stick as the rain fell in the middle of the afternoon.
The later order Malaga batsmen struggled to get Combined Colleges away but dug in to reach 154 off thirty overs before the last three wickets fell in twelve deliveries to leave Malaga 163 all out.
Unusually Asif Tarrer opened for Malaga and batted sensibly against the pace of Brian Barrett and the nagging accuracy of Anwar ul Arifeen until in the fifth over he gloved a ball from Brian Barrett to the keeper. Well done Asif for turning and walking off without hesitation, knowing he was out. Azhar Hassan and Zaman Khan pushed the score on to 50 in just thirty one deliveries before a rash of three wickets in ten balls left
Malaga made a good start with the ball and were encouraged to see Combined Colleges 38 for 2 off seven overs when Atif Rashid found himself under a tremendous skier coming down with the proverbial snow on it and took the catch as nonchalantly as you like. Combined Colleges were scoring a bit faster than Malaga had done but were by no means racing away
with the game. 84 for 3 off thirteen overs became 94 for 4 off 14 when Shoab Hussain sent the ball screaming away like an exocet missile for a flat six over mid off, or would have done if that man Atif Rashid hadn’t been lurking nearby to take a very impressive catch just as nonchalantly as his previous one. After this life became difficult for Malaga. Light rain made the ball difficult to control. Previn Menon and Brian Barrett kept the scoreboard turning over faster than Malaga would have liked. After a break for rain Previn edged Asif Tarrer to Zaman Khan behind the stumps before in increasingly heavy rain the Combined Colleges sixth wicket pair knocked
off the required runs for victory. It was hard on Malaga. With a dry ball, maybe their best bowlers could have seen off a few more wickets and perhaps even have won the match. As it was, if the teams had left the field Combined Colleges superior run rate would have given them the points. By staying on the worsening conditions were entirely in favour of the batting side. A lose/lose situation for Malaga and not at all a satisfactory way to decide the first league match of the year. This match saw some good work in the field with eleven of the fifteen wickets going to catches, several of which were difficult and none were particularly easy. It might have been more if horribly difficult chances to a sliding Mark Ward and a diving Asif Tarrer had stuck. Man of the Match was Brian Barrett for his 38 not out, 3 wickets for 20 and his catch off a skier to slip. Report By Ray Fry
cricket open day a huge success On the eve of the first of this year’s local cricket league matches, in the shadow of Sri Lanka racking up 274 runs against India in the ICC World Cup Final, so the nucleus of a new local team gathered at the New Cartama Oval. These were cricketers between clubs or, more accurately, a delicate blend of youth and maturity or at least not having played cricket for a number of years but with a mutual interest in starting up a new local club. Now I’m no expert on describing degrees of rustiness but I can say this day saw probably the whole range from Tom’s youthful springiness through Peter’s sprightly 50 something litheness to Ray’s near pension age seized-up-solid. (Well, he will be come Monday anyway!). Everybody was given a chance to show their ability with bat, ball and in fielding as they batted in pairs for ten overs per pair. And ability was there for all to see. It was clear that there were half a
dozen who, with a bit of practice, will form the heart of a batting line up and four whose bowling will be up to the mark. All who were present enjoyed their outing on the field and were full of positive thoughts for the future. More players are needed in order to support a regular fixture list. Why not come and join us? All are welcome. Tentative arrangements are in place for a match to be played in the Semana Santa Sunday(April 24th), opposition to be confirmed but likely to be Seville. Next Saturday and Sunday we have more cricket. Combined Colleges play UK touring team Totteridge Millhillians on the Saturday, and on Sunday a Costa del Sol Eleven takes on the Tourists. Spectators very welcome. If you can help in any way as players, sponsors, or coaches please contact Tim Meal on 662 233 302 or email tim_sheena@hotmail.com. Report by Ray Fry

Stoner throws a wheely wet wobbly Casey Stoner was prepared to accept that Valentino Rossi made a racing mistake at Jerez on Sunday - when the Italian crashed while trying to overtake the Australian, bringing them both down - but felt the reaction of the marshals was out of order.
Rain fell intermittently on Sunday at Jerez, and got heavier for the main eventMotoGP, which was the first wet premier-class race since Sepang, Malaysia, in 2009. And the rain certainly made it a race to remember or forget if you were one of the many unlucky riders who
was then forced to retire, which cost him the world championship lead. "I heard Valentino arriving and I wasn't worried about anyone passing me at that point in the race so I gave him plenty of room,” said Stoner. Rossi brings down Stoner after carrying too much speed into the corner
slid off the track. While Rossi was able to rejoin and ultimately finish fifth, Stoner, second behind Marco Simoncelli at the time of the accident, felt he didn't get enough assistance from the
marshals to try and bumpstart his factory Honda Stoner had stopped the engine when he fell to avoid damage. The Australian, winner from pole at round one in Qatar and also on pole at Jerez,
"It was a racing incident and there's not much we can do, what is more frustrating is the reaction of the stewards and their assistance for Valentino and not for me, it was unbelievable." The

Classics head for the hills SOL Classic Car Club members took to the road again last Saturday to enjoy the spring weather, meeting
down on the coast at Benavista where “Horace” the vintage 1925 Morris Cowley joined the younger
models to see them off (he then returned to his garage since the route would have been rather too much for his advanced years!). The day had been organised by events co-ordinator John Blackburn and his wife Chrissie, who had planned a series of visits to places of
interest inland with plenty of time of photo stops. First on the itinerary was Casares, perched on its commanding hill and approached by a steep but picturesque road climbing through hills
covered in vivid yellow gorse bushes contrasting with the green grass brought out by recent rains. A car park
thronged with classic cars proved a diversion for the buses that officially stopped there! Then it was back down to the coast and up to Benhavis along another photogenic route which ended in a coffee stop below the village. Here drivers and passengers
mingled with local families in the sunshine in the park and the kiosk owner did a roaring trade in drinks and hot-dogs. From Benhavis the organisers led the cars through a fascinating mixture of top-class golf courses and exclusive urbanisations – stopping en route to gaze at the sheer size and luxury of some of Marbella's richest mansions in an area normally bypassed on the busy coast road. The tour of “how the other half lives” eventually joined the road up to the final destination, Istan. By this time the sun was stronger and the sky had cleared completely, making the drive up into the hills quite magical. Mimosa cascaded from the trees in swathes of yellow flowers and the views got better and better as the huge Concepcion reservoir emerged on the right hand side, full to bursting this year following the heavy rains. Lunch was enjoyed at the rustic hotel Los Jarales on the extensive terrace overlooking the lake. Dining al fresco in March is just one of the reasons Club members enjoy living and driving in Andalucia. If you are a classic car enthusiast visit the website
www.solclassiccarclub.net for details of their activities including the next event, a charity run on April 16th organised by Bob Livermore in aid of Help for Heroes. Report by: Jean Joss

collision left Simoncelli, without even a MotoGP podium to his credit, holding a two-second lead - but the Italian threw it all away when he lost the front, then the rear, and highsided out at turn one on lap 12. That handed Lorenzo a lead he held to the flag, but not before successfully responding to pressure from countryman Dani Pedrosa, who closed almost to within striking distance of the Yamaha rider before losing pace.

Malaga back in the old routine Levante 3-1 Malaga Following a storming performance before the International break against Espanyol, Malaga travelled to Levante with high hopes. Malaga almost had a dream start to the game in the 2nd minute, when Rondon got his head on a cross but couldn't find the back of the net. After that though, things went downhill rapidly. Stuani was put through in the 6th minute and with Malaga's defence statuesque and claiming offside he slotted home past Cabellero to make it 1-0. On 9 minutes Levante doubled their lead after some comical defending from Malaga. Cabellero had thrown the ball out to Eliseu who wasn't prepared and lost possession and Ruben finished from a

Jackson scores with the Cottage crowd A statue of Michael Jackson was unveiled at Fulham’s Craven Cottage ground last Sunday. It cost £100,000, was originally planned to have pride of place in Harrods, but Fulham owner Mohamed Al Fayed decided to erect it at the ground after he sold Harrods last year. Some fans were upset and reckoned that a more fitting statue to join legend Johnny Haynes would have been Bobby Moore. Others reckon they don’t care as long as the owner keeps investing in Fulham - who beat Blackpool 3 - 0.
Lefty warms up for the Masters with win Phil Mickelson outplayed Scott Verplank on Sunday to win the Houston Open in Humble, Texas, his first victory since last year’s Masters. The win moved Mickelson to No. 3 in the world ranking, and Tiger Woods, who did not play in the tournament, dropped to No. 7. It is the first time Mickelson has been ahead of Woods in the rankings since the week before Woods won the 1997 Masters. Mickelson shot a seven-under-par 65 in the final round to finish at 20under 268, three strokes ahead of Verplank (68) and Chris Kirk (67). Mickelson is hoping he can repeat some history at the Masters this week. He is the last player to win the
