Let $L$ be a positive constant. For a point $P(t,\ 0)$ on the positive part of the $x$ axis on the coordinate plane, denote $Q(u(t),\ v(t))$ the point at which the point reach starting from $P$ proceeds by　distance $L$ in counter-clockwise on the perimeter of a circle passing the point $P$ with center $O$. (1) Find $u(t),\ v(t)$. (2) For real number $a$ with $0<a<1$, find $f(a)=\int_a^1 \sqrt{\{u'(t)\}^2+\{v'(t)\}^2}\ dt$. (3) Find $\lim_{a\rightarrow +0} \frac{f(a)}{\ln a}$.

A rectangular piece of of paper measures 4 units by 5 units. Several lines are drawn parallel to the edges of the paper. A rectangle determined by the intersections of some of these lines is called [i]basic [/i]if (i) all four sides of the rectangle are segments of drawn line segments, and (ii) no segments of drawn lines lie inside the rectangle. Given that the total length of all lines drawn is exactly 2007 units, let $N$ be the maximum possible number of basic rectangles determined. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by 1000.
