Kuala Lumpur — DiscoveryChannel Inc. has sent a letter to Di-rectorate General of Cultural Val-ues, Arts and Film (NBSF) toclarify the broadcast of promo-tional film “Enigmatic Malaysia”inserting the show of PendetDance.

In its e-mail to Directorate Gen-eral of NBSF Tjejep Suparman, theRegional Director of Asia RegionalAdvertising Sales of Discovery Chan-nel Inc, Angie Santa Maria, assertedthat the promotional documentaryfilm entitled “Enigmatic Malaysia”was not produced by Ministry ofMalaysian Tourism. Angie admittedthat it was the fault of promotion staffof Discovery Channel. She promisedto apologize in person to the Minis-

the head of Search and RescueUnit, said that the accident oc-curred on 14.30 local time. 15 pas-

sengers and 2 crews must be res-cued from the middle of the sea.

The victims are currently being

treated in Klungkung hospital.Parwa said that the victim gener-ally suffered from shock afterfloating on the sea. The search andrescue team and Bali marine po-lice still trying to evacuate the vic-tims.

The urges of Balinese artist community in order that Bali Provin-cial Government facilitated the registration of copyrights of the workscreated by Balinese artists and anonymous artists that have been be-queathed from generation to generation by Balinese ancestors waspositively responded by Commission IV of Bali House of Represen-tatives, Ketut Kariyasa Adnyana.

The Member of Parliament from Buleleng together with his col-leagues in Commission IV promised to endeavor a budget in the BaliRegional Budget 2010 to finance the registration of copyrights for anumber of art works and handicraft product of Balinese artists.

“Such proposal is logical. It is the time for Bali Provincial Gov-ernment to allocate its budget for facilitating the registration of artworks created by Balinese artists,” said Kariyasa Adnyana.

In the fiscal year 2009, he said that Bali Regional Government hasallocated a budget of approximately IDR 2 billion to protect the worksmade by Balinese artists against the plundering by foreign parties.

The Woking-based outfit startedthe season in big trouble with its car,and knew that it needed to under-stand what had gone wrong if it wasnot to make the same mistakes nextyear.

Now that the MP4-24 has beenturned into a race winner, the teamis more confident about its chancesfor developing a successful succes-sor.

McLaren managing directorJonathan Neale said: “If we werestill scrabbling around at the backof the grid whilst we are goingthrough the release of the car fornext year - which will happen overthe next month - then I would bevery much more concerned than Iam now.

“We are not complacent by anymeans. We have to recognise thatour car has KERS on it which isprobably worth 0.3s, and we have avery good engine package.

“If I compare where other team’schassis are, it’s clear that while wehave a competitive package, we donot have the benchmark chassis andaero performance at the moment.

Brno - Loris Capirossi has agreed an extension tohis contract with Suzuki according to reports in the Ital-ian media.

The news means that the 36-year-old MotoGP vet-eran will remain with the team for a fourth season along-side Suzuki’s rookie signing Alvaro Bautista.

that on this year’s car and going in tonext year, it’s a stretch for us.”

Neale believes that the fact theMP4-24 was turned from being theworst car in pre-season testing to thewinning machine in Hungary wasproof that its design was not funda-mentally flawed.

“It’s a testament to a huge amountof hard work, but it is also evidenceof what I said at the beginning ofthe season, which is that we hadn’tdone anything wrong with the car,we just hadn’t done enough,” ex-plained Neale.

“When you end up with a carwhere you have taken a completelywrong turn with it, i.e you’vescrewed up the stiffnesses or youhave done something to make it re-ally unstable, it is notoriously diffi-cult to get that back.

“We had just under-developedthe aero package and then in the cutand thrust of what happened be-tween week 11 and getting to thefirst European race, we turned theorganisation upside down here be-cause we knew we had to fight backand try and overhaul teams that inthemselves were pushing forwards.”

He added: “In terms of the con-

fidence for 2010, then the regulationsare different but it is evolutionaryrather than revolutionary.

“The fundamental aerodynamics ofthe package are the same. The bigchanges will be in the weight of the

car because we will have to carry thefuel that we need for the whole race.

“We are going to go back aroundthe loop on vehicle dynamics be-cause the front tyre will be chang-ing and therefore the weight distri-

bution and the forces will have tobe managed separately. But theessense of the aerodynamic fall willbe based upon existing technologyand the extension of a stable plat-form that we have.”

The Italian, who has won nine grands prix in the topclass and won the 250cc world championship in 1998, addedthat he had not ruled out racing beyond 2010 either.

“I’m certainly closer to saying ‘I quit’ than I was acouple of years ago, but nothing is decided yet,” he said.

“We’ll see, also becauseI can still beat many ri-vals while others beatme through no fault ofmine.

“Suzuki has wantedme to sign the contractmany weeks ago al-ready. I chose to waitbecause I wanted to becertain regarding theirintentions. Now I knowthey are putting a lot ofeffort in, they are givingme confidence, they’vedecided I should be theone developing the bike.

“They believe in me,and that’s what’s im-portant. This has con-vinced me to stay. I’mconvinced we’ll have acompetitive bike in2010.”

PARIS - A first-half hat-trickfrom new Argentinian signingLisandro crushed Anderlecht’shopes of qual i fying for theChampions League group stagesas Lyon showed their last 32 cre-dentials in a 3-1 win in Belgium.

Thanks to their 5-1 victoryover the Belgian s ide at theGerland stadium last week, giv-ing them an 8-2 aggregate result,Lyon were the most convincingteam of the five who qualified forthe group stage on Tuesday.

Elsewhere Maccabi Haifajoined the lucrative stages ofEurope’s premier club competi-t ion with a 3-0 win over FCSalzburg which gave the Israelisa 5-1 victory over the Austrians.

Debrecen secured their ticketin similar fashion, becoming thefirst Hungarian side to qualify forthe group s tages s inceFerencvaros in 1995 by beatingBulgarian outfit Levski Sofia 2-0 at home on the night for an ag-gregate of 4-1.

Last season Real were ordinarycompared to the dazzling Barcelonaand a quick-fix was the only answeras they recruited a new manager andalmost an entire team at a cost of over250 million euros.

New coach Manuel Pellegrini hasarrived from Villarreal and watchedon as Real, who rarely consult themanager on signings, splashed thecash on Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka,Xabi Alonso, Karim Benzema andRaul Albiol among others.

A cool 163 million euros (233million dollar) was spent to lure Bra-zilian Kaka from AC Milan andworld record signing Ronaldo fromManchester United as Real bid tooutshine a Lionel Messi-inspiredBarcelona.

With Ronaldo and Kaka joiningMessi in the Spanish league, footballfans can now directly compare threeof the world’s most gifted stars andjudge for themselves who is the bestplayer on the planet.

“I think we can win the big tro-phies with the team that we have,”said Ronaldo. “However, we have torecognise that Barcelona are thechampions, have a great team and amagnificent coach.”

Swedish striker ZlatanIbrahimovic is rarely talked about inthe same bracket as Ronaldo andcompany so this is his big chance toshine after joining championsBarcelona from Inter Milan in a 69million euro (98 million dollar) dealthat saw Samuel Eto’o go the oppo-site way.

MADRID - Money doesn’t always ensure success but it certainly helps and Real Madrid hopetheir new collection of expensive ‘Galacticos’ live up to the hype and help overcome Pep Guardiola’sall-conquering Barcelona side full of confidence after last season’s historic treble.

“Barcelona won everything lastseason so the pressure will be onMadrid because they have spent somuch on players.” said Ibrahimovic.

In the last campaign Barcelonabeat Real twice as well as Chelsea andManchester United on route to win-ning a league, Kings Cup and Cham-pions League treble and if they canreproduce that form they will takesome stopping.

While the league is the top prior-ity, Europe will have an extra edgefor both sides with the ChampionsLeague final being played at Madrid’sSantiago Bernabeu stadium.

Real have not won the trophy since2002 when the prototype Galacticoteam of Zinedine Zidane, RobertoCarlos and Luis Figo came up trumps.

Barcelona have won the trophytwice recently in 2006 and 2009 andnothing would be sweeter than win-ning the competition on the groundof their fiercest rivals.

Real host Deportivo La Coruna onSaturday night in the season curtain-raiser while Barcelona begin theirtitle defence against Sporting Gijonon Monday due to their EuropeanSuper Cup commitments.

It is hard to look past Barcelonaand Real for the league title with theother top sides lacking the squaddepth and genuine quality to make animpact.

Atletico Madrid have done well tohold onto Sergio “Kun” Aguero andthe league’s top-scorer Diego Forlanas coach Abel Resino attempts topush the club to the next level by win-

ning a major trophy for the first timesince 1996.

Villarreal failed to qualify for theChampions League so should be ableto focus on the league more but theloss of manager Pellegrini to Realcould take some time to absorb.

Sevilla performed admirably tofinish third last season and havesigned forward Alvaro Negredo for15 million euros from Real butChampions League qualification isthe realistic target.

The highlight fixture of the open-ing weekend is on Sunday whenSevilla travel to Valencia who havesomehow managed to hang onto theirstar duo of David Villa and DavidSilva despite well-publicised finan-cial problems.

Barcelona and Real both wantedVilla but Valencia refused to budge ontheir asking price and the Spanish in-ternational remains a Valencia player.

Elsewhere Espanyol have made anintriguing signing with Japanese in-ternational midfielder ShunsukeNakamura arriving from Celtic.

The Barcelona club are still inmourning after their captain DaniJarque died of a heart attack at a pre-season training camp at the age of 26and the league will pay their respectson the opening day of the 2009/10season.

Real Zaragoza, Tenerife and Xerezare the three newcomers to the leagueand Sunday will be a special day forsecond division champions Xerezwho will play their first ever game inthe top-flight against Real Mallorca.

Ventspils had been hoping tobecome the first Latvian side toqualify for the group stages how-ever despite scoring a goal at FCZurich they were defeated 2-1,for an aggregate score of 5-1.

Atletico Madrid had taken amajor stride towards qualifica-t ion with a 3-2 win away atPanathinaikos last week and con-firmed their superiority over theGreeks with a 2-0 win in Madridwhich puts them among the last32 for the second year running.

In the past 10 years Lyon havebeen regulars in the group stages,reaching the quarter-finals in2006 when they were eliminatedby AC Milan.

Having lost the French leaguetitle for the first time in eight sea-sons in May, to Bordeaux, theFrench giants were forced tocome through qualifying.

But despite predictions of aclose two-leg fixture againstAnderlecht, Claude Puel’s sideshowed they more than deserveto join Europe’s elite.

After their 5-1 mauling of the

Belgians last week in Lyon, whereLisandro scored their second goalfrom a penalty in the 15th minute,Anderlecht had a mountain toclimb in this second leg.

Lining up alongside fellow Ar-gentine Cesar Delgado, on theleft wing, Lisandro bounced backin style from a groin strain at theweekend to put the French sideinto the lead with a superb lob inthe 25th minute following an er-ror in the hosts’ defence.

Barely seven minutes later theformer FC Porto striker pouncedon Anthony Reveillere’s pass todouble his score.

Lisandro added a third fourminutes before half-time afterpouncing on a rebound fromDelgado, the Argentine later be-ing substituted on the hour markfor 17-year-old Ishak Belfodil.

Seeing these violations, Governor of BaliMade Mangku Pastika stated that it was requireda firm and clear attitude. “Without firmness andclarity of attitude, it would be difficult to saveBali in years to come,” he described followingto attend the plenary session of Bali House ofRepresentatives, Tuesday, August 25th 2009.

On that account, Governor shored up the firmattitude of the Members of Parliament related tocriminal sanction. Regional Legislation on theProvincial Spatial Layout Plan (RTRWP) of Balishould be firm and clear. “Sanction of RegionalLegislation on this spatial layout should be firmand clear to avoid any interpretation,” he said.

Without firm and clear attitude, it is hard tosave Bali in the future. “Bali has become toodamaged. Lake Batur and Lake Beratan havebeen surrounded by hotel. It excludes the viola-tion against coastal border and so forth,” he re-marked.

So, how is about the villa at Dasong forestnear Lake Buyan that currently is highlighted byenvironmentalists? On responding to this ques-tion, Governor did not give firm answer yetwhether its development would be closed or con-tinued. “Yes, we will learn it first and observe towhat extent it has made violation,” he added.

BANGLI — The problems of Kintamanitourism seems to grow more complicated. Otherthan faced to the matters concerning with theremainders of hotel and restaurant tax (HRT),exaction to tourist on boat by a reason that the“ruler” of Lake Batur asked for a sacrifice, strik-ing toward tourist guide and other black im-ages, it is now estimated that the entrance fees,and hotel and restaurant tax leaked of approxi-mately 50%.

Its modus consists of the weakness of con-trol executed by government and unclear atti-tude of government toward Kintamani. Thismatter causes the “mischievous” officer takeindividual benefits. One of the methods is thatthe visiting tourists were not provided with ticketas has been paid. Only one ticket was issuedfor all but the amount of payment has been pur-suant to the number of tourists in the car. It wasdelivered by Deputy Chairman of Bangli Houseof Representatives who also becomes one ofthe tourism businesspeople in Bali, I MadeSudiasa and a member of the Bangli House, I.B.

Batur – The damage in Bali has be-come too severe. Lake Batur and LakeBeratan have been surrounded by ho-tels. In relatively short time, LakeBuyan with Dasong forest will be filledwith villas. It excludes the violation ofbeach border and radii of temple’s sa-credness.

In his speech after the stipulation of RegionalLegislation on city management plan, Gover-nor confessed to feel happy because Bali Houseof Representatives could stipulate it before theterm ends. The arrangement of this regional leg-islation draft ran slowly, took more energy andtime since December 2008 until the third weekof August 2009. This long process was coveredas an endeavor to absorb the aspiration of allcomponents of community ranging from the aca-demician, spatial layout observer, humanists,Hindu Dharma Assembly of Indonesia (PHDI)as well as other components. “Hopefully, fur-ther process in the evaluation and clarificationdone by Department of Home Affairs would notfind any substantial obstacles so that this draftcould be stipulated procedurally,” he said.

He promised to undertake the regional leg-islation thoroughly, consistently and with highresponsibility. Hence, he appealed the commu-nity to keep on guarding the implementationof the Bali Regional Legislation on theRTRWP. In addition, he also expected that allcomponents of Balinese community, includ-ing the government of regency/city across Balito make the regional legislation as reference inundertaking the spatial layout, ranging fromthe planning until the controlling of spatial uti-lization. It is important for the sake of realiza-tion of Bali as a territory having quality, se-cure, convenient, productive characteristic,having identity and Balinese culture as well aseco-friendly orientation based on the Tri HitaKarana and Sad Kertih philosophy.

Estimated, 50% of Kintamani’s Entrance Fees and HRT LeakSantosa, Tuesday (25/8). According to Sudiasa,the estimation on the leakage of entrance feesto tourist object was indicated by a recent re-port from a tourist guide. A tourist transportcontaining full of capacity was only given oneentrance ticket, while the amount paid by tour-ists has been pursuant to the number of tour-ists.

Such condition is made more serious by thenon-existence of clear attitude of governmenton the management of Kintamani that actuallydenotes a gold mine to prosper the communityif managed professionally and so does the esti-mation on the leakage of HRT. Ideally, the lo-cal government starts to apply an online IT sys-tem between the tourist object and the office ofInternal Revenue Services. By doing so, it couldbe detected the number of arrival and depart-ing guests and those making transaction inBangli. Unlike the current condition, it is with-out reference and unclear control.

Pertaining to HRT remainders that havemounted since the 1990s, they could not besettled. It is expected that the officers would nolonger employ persuasive approach. Other than

giving no return, the businesspeople do nothave good intention to deliver the (entrusted)government tax. For that purpose, governmentshould take firm endeavor because entrepre-neurs have embezzled the entrusted tax. “Nomatter what the reason is, in short, the touristshaving meals and staying at the accommoda-tion have paid such government tax,” he said.

The problem is that why the tax was notdelivered. This should be investigated becausethe tax embezzlement equals to corruption. Atthe end, they should get in touch with law en-forcer. If the endeavor is not carried out bygovernment, it also means that government hasneglected something wrong to happen persis-tently. “Moreover, the HRT remainder has beenput into the findings of the Supreme AuditAgency (BPK) every year,” he said.

Similar opinion was also expressed by I.B.Santosa. Indication on the occurrence of HRTleakage in Bangli is estimated to reach a largeamount. It has positive correlation to the num-ber of arrival and departing guests every day.Whether it is reported honestly or engineeredby the entrepreneur should be put into ques-

Cristal Taylor, who claims to bepregnant with Nowitzki’s child, ap-

peared in front of judge NancySchneider on Monday wearing a baggyorange prison suit, The Dallas Morn-ing News reported.

The 38-year-old Taylor was initiallycharged with three counts as part of anongoing theft and forgery case.

Taylor was handed a five-year con-current sentence but the judge reducedit to four years because of the proba-tion time already served, the newspa-per said.

Court documents obtained by thepaper indicated Taylor was in a rela-tionship with Dallas Mavericks playerNowitzki but he dumped her after thepolice showed up at their house to ar-rest her. While she didn’t mentionNowitzki by name, she clearly re-ferred to him in her written pleas tothe judge.

“I was engaged to a great man,” Tay-lor had written to the judge. “I paid theultimate price for my past.

“When I got arrested at our homeand the media got a hold of my story,the love of my life left me. I can’t say Iblame him. It’s not like I was worthy ofhim giving me a chance.”

Germany’s Nowitzki did not returnphone calls on Monday.

He said earlier during the NBA play-offs that he didn’t think his personal lifeto be a distraction to his career.

“It is pretty obvious that I am goingthrough a tough time in my personallife right now,” Nowitzki said. “I wantto keep my private life private.”

American legal experts estimate thatwith time off for good behaviour, Tay-lor could end up only having to servejust 14 months of her sentence.

But after years of institutionalneglect, they finally seem to be get-ting the support they need to pushtheir work on an international mar-ket that has traditionally focused onestablished artists in East Asia.

Last week saw the biggest-evergathering of contemporary galleries inthe country with the four-day India ArtSummit which aims to establish itselfalongside other shows such as the nowwell-known Shanghai art fair.

“This is just the beginning. Thesummit is still growing, just like In-dian contemporary art,” said NehaKirpal, associate director of theevent. Like other experts, Kirpalconcedes that China is “way ahead”of India in terms of the developmentof its art market.

Visitors to the summit werestruck, however, by the broad rangeof contemporary art on display, theinterest of foreign galleries and theprofessional organisation.

Last year, the first edition of thesummit had three international gal-leries. This year 17 participated de-spite the economic slowdown,Kirpal said.

A new study finds obese peoplehave 8 percent less brain tissuethan normal-weight individuals.Their brains look 16 years olderthan the brains of lean individuals,researchers said today.

Those classified as overweighthave 4 percent less brain tissue andtheir brains appear to have agedprematurely by 8 years.

The results, based on brainscans of 94 people in their 70s,represent “severe brain degenera-tion,” said Paul Thompson, seniorauthor of the study and a UCLAprofessor of neurology.

“That’s a big loss of tissue andit depletes your cognitive reserves,putting you at much greater risk ofAlzheimer’s and other diseasesthat attack the brain,” said Thomp-son. “But you can greatly reduceyour risk for Alzheimer’s, if youcan eat healthily and keep yourweight under control.”

The findings are detailed in theonline edition of the journal Hu-man Brain Mapping.


SAN FRANCISCO - Internetcriminals might be rethinking afavorite scam for stealing people’spersonal information.

A report being releasedWednesday by IBM Corp. showsa big drop in the volume of“phishing” e-mails, in which fraudartists send what looks like a le-gitimate message from a bank orsome other company. If the recipi-ents click on a link in a phishinge-mail, they land on a rogue Website that captures their passwords,account numbers or any other in-formation they might enter.

IBM’s midyear security reportfound that phishing accounted for just0.1 percent of all spam in the first sixmonths of this year. In the same pe-riod in 2008, phishing made up 0.2

Obese People Have ‘SevereBrain Degeneration’

Obesity packs many negativehealth effects, including increasedrisk of heart disease, Type 2 dia-betes, hypertension and some can-cers. It’s also been shown to reducesexual activity.

More than 300 million world-wide are now classified as obese,according to the World Health Or-ganization. Another billion areoverweight. The main cause, ex-perts say: bad diet, including anincreased reliance on highly pro-cessed foods.

Obese people had lost brain tis-sue in the frontal and temporallobes, areas of the brain critical forplanning and memory, and in theanterior cingulate gyrus (attentionand executive functions), hippoc-ampus (long-term memory) andbasal ganglia (movement), the re-searchers said in a statement today.Overweight people showed brainloss in the basal ganglia, the co-rona radiata, white matter com-prised of axons, and the parietallobe (sensory lobe).

the decline means. (It also doesn’tappear to be a statistical illusioncaused by an increase in otherkinds of spam. IBM said overallspam volume hasn’t expanded, likeit did in years past.)

“That is a huge, precipitous de-cline in the amount of phishing,”said Kris Lamb, director of the X-Force research team in IBM’sInternet Security Systems division,which did the report. But “Iwouldn’t tell anybody that phishinghas died as a threat.”

Lamb believes phishing mighthave fallen off because computerusers are getting smarter aboutidentifying phony Web sites. Secu-rity software is also getting betterat filtering out phishing sites be-fore Web surfers ever seen them.

Poised to make in-roads into high valueinternational scene, artists and exhibitors at India’s biggest contemporary art show hail the emergence ofnew buyers and applaud the price correction. The three-day India Art Summit held in the country’s capitalNew Delhi displays hundreds of art work—brimming with a fresh wave of talent, confident to splash brightcolours, play up the powerful Indian middle class and sprinkle western influence on the Indian culturalcanvas to attract collectors across the globe.

NEW DELHI - For the past two decades, Indian artists have had towatch in envy as foreign buyers showered recognition and cash on theirChinese peers.

say the supporting infrastructuremust be improved — a commonproblem in all areas of life in India.

Art schools, galleries, museumsand public funds are all lacking.

“Can anybody enlighten meabout the government’s role in pro-moting art?” said Dadiba Pundole,owner of the Pundole art gallery inMumbai, one of India’s oldest gal-leries.

“They have failed miserably andit is only the private players that havekept the scene alive.”

The country has a legacy of art-work going back 9,000 years butthere are just a handful of prominentgalleries in India for thousands ofartists and only a few crumblingmuseums, built between 1910-1920by the British.

“The total number of art schoolscan be counted on one’s fingertips,”said Kirpal.

Yamini Mehta, director of mod-ern and contemporary Indian art atthe Christie’s auction house in Lon-don, says the Indian art business isgathering momentum but the ab-sence of institutional support is aproblem.

“There has not been much insti-

tutional support and resources forthe visual arts in India as there hasbeen in China,” Mehta told AFP.

She says the Chinese authoritieshave promoted the arts heavily sincethe 1980s to compensate for the lossof creativity during the CulturalRevolution of the 1960s.

The Cultural Revolution tried toannihilate previous art practices, thesort of disturbance that India hasnever experienced

Unlike Chinese art, however,much of the work by Indians is stillbought by Indians, making the mar-ket inward-looking and limiting itsdevelopment internationally.

“Most Indians buy indigenousworks, which is a good way to startcollecting art but gradually Indianart has to step out of its own bordersfor wider acceptance,” said StefanWimmer from the Beck Egglingart gallery in Germany, which had adisplay at the art summit.

The rise of India’s business eliteis also creating a class of peopleready to splash cash on domestic art,promising a brighter future for lo-cal galleries and artists.

“There are the fixed (established)clients and there are the new clientswho have invested in houses, cars,jewellery but are looking for more.Art is their preferred choice,” saysShilpa Dugar of krishala arts, a gal-lery based in the southern Indian cityof Chennai.

The country fell into crisis in Marchwhen Andry Rajoelina, former mayorof the capital Antananarivo, overthrewpresident Marc Ravalomanana withmilitary backing following weeks ofviolent street protests.

The rival leaders, together withex-presidents Didier Ratsiraka andAlbert Zafy, began meeting Tues-day in Maputo to divide up the topposts in the new government, whichwas agreed on August 9 during afirst round of talks.

NEW YORK - Senator EdwardKennedy, who died Tuesday, aged77, was the liberal lion of US poli-tics, a towering, controversial fig-ure whose death ends an era whenhis family appeared born to rule.

Kennedy in many ways epito-mized the wealthy, Ivy League-educated elite of the United States,a status detractors said enabledhim to dodge fallout from scan-dals in his personal life.

It was the second scuttledlaunch in a 24-hour period. A firstlaunch attempt early Tuesday wasscrubbed due to stormy weather.

the exact nature of the problem orif the vlave must be replaced, hewarned, “then we will probably notbe in a position to launch 48 hoursfrom now.”

Weather and hurricane riskscould also prevent a Friday launch,he noted.

Discovery can blast off untilabout Sunday, after which any at-tempts would have to be postponeduntil mid-October due to schedul-ing conflicts.

US space agency officials saidthe problem valve cycles liquidoxygen from the external fuel tankto the shuttle’s main propulsionsystem, and technicians will at-tempt to fix it while Discovery re-mains at the launch pad, position-ing it for a third launch attemptFriday at 12:22 am (0422 GMT).

MAPUTO - Madagascar’s power-brokers Wednesday tackled thethorny question of who will lead a new transitional government meant toguide the island nation to elections, in talks in the Mozambican capital.

“They haven’t reached an under-standing on any sensitive post,” onesource close to the talks said.

Under the deal, the rivals willestablish a transitional governmentin the large Indian Ocean islandcountry and hold democratic elec-tions by the end of 2010.

The four leaders representMadagascar’s main political move-ments, and each has set out its ownproposals, according to sourcesclose to the talks, which are medi-

ated by former Mozambican presi-dent Joaquim Chissano.

Under the August 9 agreement,the four leaders must name an in-terim government by September 8.

No member of the transitionalgovernment except its president willbe eligible to run in the expected2010 presidential election.

Rajoelina, the country’s currentleader, has declared on national tele-vision that only he could be the tran-sitional president.

Ousted president Ravalomanana,in exile in South Africa since hisoverthrow, has promised not to seeka direct role in the interim govern-ment. The talks are scheduled towrap up later Wednesday.


KUALA LUMPUR - Media rightscampaigners on Wednesday con-demned the seizure of hundreds ofcopies of a new political cartoon maga-zine and a raid on its offices, saying itwas an assault on free speech.

yet received an official permit underMalaysia’s strict media licensingscheme. However, editor ZulkifleeAnwar Ulhaque disputed that claim andsaid the seizure of the inaugural edi-tion — which had a caricature of PrimeMinister Najib Razak on the front cover— was politically motivated.

“Our permit was approved twoweeks ago. We were told of the de-cision verbally and given the permitserial number, we are just waitingfor the official letter,” he told AFP.

The caricature linked the premierto the sensational 2006 murder of aMongolian model who was the loverof his former adviser — a case inwhich Najib has repeatedly denied

any involvement or knowledge.The publication also carried car-

toons on the recent mysterious deathof a political aide to an oppositionlegislator, as well as a crackdown ona massive rally against controversialinternal security laws.

“This is politically motivated... Idon’t think (Najib) practises what hepreaches when he said media shouldbe given more freedom,” Zulkiflee said.

Los Angeles Superior Court JudgePatricia Schnegg told Brown that hecould be sent to state prison if he vio-lated any terms of his sentence, in-cluding an order to stay 100 yardsaway from Rihanna unless they’reattending music industry events.

A probation report prepared forTuesday’s sentencing describes twoprevious violent incidents. It said thefirst happened about three monthsbefore the February beating whilethe couple was traveling in Europe;Rihanna slapped Brown during anargument, and he shoved her into awall. In the second instance, Brownallegedly broke the front and passen-ger side windows on a Range Roverthey were driving while visiting Bar-bados, Rihanna’s home country.Neither attack was reported, the pro-bation report states.

Brown will serve his sentence inhis home state — Virginia — and hiscommunity labor will be overseen bythe police chief in Richmond.

The judge said she wanted toensure that Brown, 20, performsphysical labor instead of commu-nity service, such as mentoringyoung people. He will also undergoa year of domestic violence coun-seling.

Rihanna did not attendTuesday’s sentencing. At one point,Brown, who was accompanied byhis mother, agreed to the terms ofthe sentence before Schnegg hadfinished going through them all.

LOS ANGELES – A key pointof contention has emerged in thecase investigators are piecing to-gether about the death of MichaelJackson: Exactly when did Dr.Conrad Murray realize that his pa-tient had stopped breathing?

There are currently two accountsof that moment on June 25, andabout an hour separates them.

According to police documents,Murray told detectives he put Jack-son to sleep with drugs just min-utes before he found the singer notbreathing around 11 a.m., then letnearly 90 minutes go by — muchof that time on his cell phone —before an ambulance was called.

But Murray’s lawyer says thedoctor didn’t discover a strickenJackson until around noon.

Investigators have ruled Jackson’sdeath a homicide, based on testsshowing he was killed by the combi-nation of the anesthetic propofol withat least two sedatives, a law enforce-ment official told The AssociatedPress, speaking on condition of ano-nymity because the finding has notbeen publicly released.

The homicide designation doesnot necessarily mean a crime wascommitted, though it’s a helpful


LOS ANGELES –“Inglourious Basterds,” the lateststylized action flick from direc-tor Quentin Tarantino, took the topspot at the North American boxoffice over the weekend, accord-ing to industry figures.

Starring Brad Pitt, the film abouta roving Jewish-American militiathat kills and scalps Nazis in occu-pied France earned 37.6 milliondollars in its first week of release,according to box office tracker Ex-hibitor Relations.

Falling to second place was“District 9,” which tells the storyof extraterrestrial refugees whoare granted asylum in South Af-rica but have to fight off a nefari-ous corporation seeking to harnesstheir alien technology.

The well-reviewed actionthriller earned 18.2 million dol-lars in box office receipts in itssecond week of release.

LOS ANGELES – A judge on Tuesday sentenced Chris Brown tofive years’ probation and six months’ community labor for the beatingof Rihanna and ordered the R&B singer to stay away from his formergirlfriend for the next five years.

lawyer, Mark Geragos, asked to moveup the singer’s sentencing to Tuesday.A previous attempt to sentence Brownwas postponed when Schnegg saidshe hadn’t received adequate assur-ances that Brown would performphysical labor if allowed to serve pro-bation in Virginia.

The judge said she was satisfiedwith a letter presented by Geragosthat Richmond Police Chief BryanT. Norwood will directly overseeBrown’s labor program.

After Brown pleaded guilty tofelony assault in June, Schnegg or-dered the pair to stay away from eachother and to not contact one another.Her order Tuesday essentially ex-tended that until Brown completeshis sentence.

Donald Etra, Rihanna’s attorney,has said he didn’t think the strict ruleswere necessary, but that he andRihanna favored a less-stringent rul-ing that simply ordered Brown not toannoy, harass or molest the 21-year-old pop singer. He said afterTuesday’s hearing that Rihanna didnot object to the stay-away order,which allows the former couple to bewithin 10 yards of each other if theyare attending music industry events.

Schnegg said she was aware ofreports that Brown had been spottedon several occasions in the sameplaces as Rihanna. “I am not amusedwith the chatter that has been on theairwaves and any violation of yourprobation in this case comes with thepotential for state prison,” Schneggtold Brown.

A felony charge of making crimi-nal threats was dropped duringTuesday’s sentencing. “We feel thatthe sentence for Mr. Brown is anequitable one,” said Sandi Gibbons,a district attorney’s spokeswoman.“He has his future in his hands. Hehas control of his fate.”

Gibbons said Brown’s chargecould eventually be reduced to amisdemeanor if he completes hissentence. Brown was arrested Feb.8, hours after he was accused of beat-ing Rihanna.

The attack occurred in Los An-geles’ Hancock Park neighborhoodas Brown drove a rented sports car.A Los Angeles police detective de-scribed a brutal attack in a searchwarrant affidavit filed in the case,stating Brown hit, choked and bitRihanna and tried at one point topush her from the car.

Brown’s career suffered after hisarrest, with sponsors dropping himand radio stations refusing to playhis music. Both he and Rihanna hadto cancel several high-profile appear-ances, including planned perfor-mances at the Grammy Awards theday of the attack.

In a probation report released af-ter the sentencing, Brown is quotedas saying he was “depressed” sincethe attack and that he “‘does not wantto carry on that cycle.’”

The report included letters of sup-port for Brown from RCA/Jive La-bel Group Chairman Barry Weiss aswell as an entertainment lawyer anda pastor.

COLOMBO - Internationalcredit rating agency Standard andPoor’s has raised the outlook on itsrating for Sri Lanka’s debt to “stable”from “negative” following a 2.6-bil-lion-dollar IMF bailout package.

The move to a stable outlook re-flects the improving state of thegovernment’s finances and means therisk of a further downgrade of the maincredit rating is diminished.

The agency kept Sri Lanka’s rat-ing at “B”, which is five notches belowinvestment grade despite an improve-ment in the island’s foreign reserves.

“The ratings could be raised ifgovernment policies lead to a sustain-able boost in tax revenues and reducedfiscal imbalances,” S & P said in astatement received here late Tuesday.

Sri Lanka’s foreign reserves,which fell to an eight-year low of 1.3billion dollars in March, have climbed

With a weak global outlook limitingAsian exports the bank said countries hadto speed up measures to bolster expansionat home, adding that the best way to achievethis is to provide help for small and me-dium-sized businesses.

“While the global economy will nodoubt recover from the current crisis, a re-turn to a fast-growing developing Asia willrequire some rebalancing of growth towarddomestic demand in the region as a whole,”it said in a report released here.

“Fostering dynamism among Asianenterprises, especially SMEs, will be im-portant to this effort.”

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs)are businesses that employ fewer than 200workers and are key employers in Asia, theADB said, adding that in manufacturingalone they account for between 50 and 90percent of employment.

“It is precisely because SMEs employso many of Asia’s workers that their pro-ductivity, and the earnings and wages theygenerate become crucial in determining liv-ing standards of many Asians,” the reportsaid.

Vibrant SMEs are crucial to the devel-opment of a large Asian middle class, seenas an important driver for domestic demand,


SYDNEY - Australia Wednesday approved amassive energy project that will supply natural gasworth tens of billions of dollars to China and India,giving new impetus to its resources boom.

Environment Minister Peter Garrett imposed28 conditions to protect wildlife but said he saw noreason to block the Gorgon liquefied natural gas(LNG) plant off Western Australia, allowing it toclear the final regulatory hurdle.

The project is a joint venture by Chevron, Shelland ExxonMobil, which has signed a record 41 bil-lion US dollar contract with Chinese giantPetroChina and another worth 21 billion dollars withIndia’s Petronet.

“I’ve considered it very carefully, I don’t be-lieve that there will be unacceptable (environmen-tal) impacts and, as a consequence of that, I havemade my decision today,” Garrett told reporters.

He said the conditions included measures toprotect endangered turtles and other species onnearby Barrow Island and to minimise noise andlight emissions.

the Manila-based bank said. It urged Asian governments to remove

several constraints it said prevented thegrowth of such businesses.

Among the limits it says are hinderingthe firms are weak access to financing andnew technologies that will help them becomemore innovative.

The report also cited infrastructure prob-lems such as poor transportation systems andlack of access to stable electricity supply.

While Asia is recovering from the glo-bal crisis faster than the United States andother Western economies, this is largely dueto government stimulus measures, which arelikely to have a short-term impact, ADBchief economist Jong-Wha Lee said at anews briefing in Singapore.

The crisis is an opportunity to look atlonger-term issues to sustain Asia’s eco-nomic rise, he said, adding however that theprocess of rebalancing growth may takemore than 10 years.

“Public policy has an important role toplay,” the report said.

“The design of policy needs to be basedon a clear understanding of the differenttypes of enterprises in the region, how theyare linked with one another and their poten-tial for growth.”

S & P raises outlookfor Sri Lanka debt

to 3.2 billion dollars, boosted by in-flows for bonds, the central bank gov-ernor Nivard Cabraal said Tuesday.

In July, the IMF approved a 20-month 2.6-billion-dollar loan and im-mediately released 322 million dollarsto help avert a balance of paymentscrisis in the island that is just recover-ing from a 37-year war with ethnicTamil rebels.

Sri Lanka plans to sell bondsworth 500 million dollars to overseasinvestors next month to offset projectedspending needed to rebuild infrastruc-ture and homes in the war-torn northand east.

“This would strengthen Sri Lanka’sexternal financing situation and permitthe dedication of resources toward post-war reconstruction efforts,” saidAnushka Shah, an economist atCitigroup Global Markets in India.

Despite securing external aid, SriLanka’s gross external financing re-quirement will remain high, S & P said.

Garrett said he expected Chevron and theventure’s other partners would be “more than will-ing” to meet the conditions.

“We have had those discussions with the com-pany and it is the case that there is agreement on thebasis of the conditions that I’ve put forward, and Iwelcome that,” he said.

The Gorgon field, thought to hold more than 40trillion cubic feet of gas, is expected to create thou-sands of jobs and pump billions of dollars intoAustralia’s economy.

Chevron, majority partner in the project, wel-comed Garrett’s approval and said a final investmentdecision would be made in the coming months.

“The Gorgon project is Australia’s largest singleresource project and is set to deliver significant eco-nomic benefits and create around 10,000 indirect anddirect jobs during peak construction,” said RoyKrzywosinski, the company’s Australian managingdirector.

He said the plant was “globally and nationallysignificant”, with an economic life of at least 40years, adding it had been sited to minimise the envi-ronmental impact.

Google Maps is being enhanced thisweek to combine feedback from indi-vidual drivers with other traffic infor-mation to let people know which roadsare likely to get them to their intendeddestinations the quickest.

“It takes almost zero effort on yourpart,” Google Maps product managerDave Barth said in a message on theCalifornia technology titan’s website.

“Just turn on Google Maps for mo-bile before starting your car, and themore people that participate, the betterthe resulting traffic reports get for ev-erybody.”

This month, the 35-year-oldKathmandu native who was once anaspiring Bollywood actor opened histenth school in Nepal and revealedambitious plans to provide affordableeducation for all children in the Hima-layan nation.

Over the past nine years, Sanjel hasbuilt up a nationwide network ofschools that offer an education for just100 rupees (1.40 dollars) a month inone of the world’s poorest countries.

They are built using only the cheap-est materials — earning them the nick-name “bamboo schools” — with fundsdonated by local businesspeople andcharitable organisations.

“I want every child to benefit frommy schools,” Sanjel told AFP after host-ing a colourful opening ceremony forhis latest addition in this village in west-ern Nepal.

“No child should be left out ofschool because the family can’t affordto pay for education.

“When the current political turmoilis over in Nepal, we will need educatedpeople to build this country.”

When Sanjel built his first school in2001, Nepal was in the grip of a 10-year civil war between Maoist rebelsand the army in which at least 13,000people died.

The conflict ended in 2006, but po-litical stability remains elusive andmore than half the population still livesbeneath the poverty line.

Nonetheless, education is highlyprized and many families scrimp to

KAWASOTI - When Uttam Sanjel began giving reading classes to street children in the Nepalesecapital in the 1990s, he had little idea what his small teaching scheme would one day turn into.

send children to fee-paying schools thatoffer classes in English rather than tothe Nepali-language governmentschools.

But a private education remains outof the reach of many in the Himalayannation, where the average annual in-come is just 470 dollars.

Public education only began in Nepalin 1951, and adult literacy rates remainamong the lowest in the region.

In 2005 — the latest year for whichcomparative data was available — only48.6 percent of adults in Nepal were lit-erate against 61 percent in India, 90.7percent in Sri Lanka and 47 percent inBangladesh, UN figures show.

Sanjel said he wanted to offer a bet-ter alternative to the free governmentschools in Nepal, calling the discrep-ancy between private and public school-ing a major social injustice.

“There are two kinds of schooling.The public school students do not knowhow to speak in English even when theyleave school. The private school stu-dents can send emails to their parentsfrom grade two,” he said.

“This is not how it should be. It iswrong because it will create two kindsof citizen.”

Bus driver Dol Raj Subedi is send-ing his eldest son to Sanjel’s new school,and says he wishes he could have hadthe same opportunity as a child. “Driv-ing is hard work. I am not very well andmy back hurts a lot,” said the 37-year-old, who earns 150 rupees a day.

“If I was educated, if my parents had

sent me to school, I think it would havebeen different.

“All I care about is good educationfor my children. This new system ofeducation in my village has helped meto get that.”

Sanjel has won awards in Nepal forhis work in the education sector, but headmits he did not excel at school, andsays he never considered teaching as acareer option.

He spent seven years in Mumbai try-ing to realise his dream of becoming aBollywood star before returning toKathmandu where, finding himself at aloose end, he began teaching classes forstreet children.

“I thought only a couple would showup. But around 100 children took partand started learning enthusiastically. Iwas overwhelmed,” Sanjel told AFP.

The experience inspired him to startthe first of his network of schools —called Samata, or Equality Schools, onthe outskirts of Kathmandu with just100 students.

Now, that school alone educates3,500 pupils and in all, Sanjel has 18,000children in his care.

“There were hardships along theway,” he told AFP. “At one point I hidinside a toilet cubicle for two hours be-cause I did not have money to pay theconstruction contractors.

“I was not able to pay the teachers’salaries for three whole months and itwas always difficult to pull togetherenough money to pay the staff. But ifyou are persistent, you will succeed.”

Design chosen forMumbai’s ‘Statue of Liberty’

vironment ministry, was approved at acabinet meeting of the Maharashtrastate government on Tuesday, Times ofIndia and other media here said.

The monument will depictChhatrapati Shivaji, who established akingdom in western India free from therule of the Muslim Mughal empire.

He is still an icon to hardline Hindugroups in Mumbai and Maharashtra,who argue that not enough is being doneto protect the interests of local Marathi-speaking people in the state from “out-siders.”

Critics argue that the estimatedthree-billion-rupee (61-million-dollar)project, which includes a museum andgardens, should be shelved and themoney spent on more pressing concernslike housing and infrastructure.

Google Maps users with concernsabout strangers keeping track of wherethey drive can opt out of the program,according to the Internet firm.

“We understand that many peoplewould be concerned about telling theworld how fast their car was moving ifthey also had to tell the world wherethey were going, so we built privacyprotections in from the start,” Barthsaid.

Forecasts by the White House anda congressional financial watchdogshowed persistent large budget defi-cits even after the recession grippingthe world’s largest economy endspossibly this year.

WASHINGTON - A ballooning US government budget deficit that couldreach nine trillion dollars over a decade threatens to dent President BarackObama’s reform plans and thwart long term economic growth.

sor George W. Bush.The Congressional Budget Of-

fice (CBO), the financial watchdogof Congress, meanwhile, offered amore optimistic projection — 7.13trillion dollars — assuming all Bushadministration-imposed tax cuts ex-pired in two years.

The White House, however,trimmed the 2009 fiscal budget defi-cit projection to 1.58 trillion dollarsfrom the previous estimate of 1.84trillion dollars.

Still, the deficit, stemmingmostly from aid to the financial sys-tem and fiscal stimulus to jolt theeconomy from recession, representsmore than 11 percent of gross do-mestic product (GDP), the largest asa share of the economy since WorldWar II, analysts pointed out.

Under assumptions by both theWhite House and the CBO, theUnited States will consistently runup large deficits of around three tofour percent of GDP.

“Permanent deficits of this sizeare a real negative for long-run eco-nomic growth, pushing up interestrates and reducing the amount ofcapital available for private invest-ment, ultimately reducing produc-

tivity growth,” warned AugustineFaucher, director of macroeconom-ics for Moody’s Economy.com.

To close the deficit and boostlong-run growth, he said,policymakers would need to raisetaxes and cut spending, steps theyhave been unwilling to take.

The White House acknowledgedthe alarming fiscal situation butblamed the Bush administration forthe mounting deficit.

“Overall, it underscores the direfiscal situation that we inherited andthe need for serious steps to put ournation back on a sustainable fiscalpath,” said the White House’s Officeof Management and Budget direc-tor Peter Orszag.

But Orszag pointed out that sevenmonths of Obama administrationpolicies had already seen the esti-mated deficit for the 2009 fiscal year,which ends September 30, trimmedby 262 billion dollars.

The government has pumped hun-dreds of billions of dollars into the frag-ile financial system battered by a crisisstemming from a home mortgage melt-down that plunged the world’s largesteconomy into recession.

The CBO, a nonpartisan statutorywatchdog which plays a critical sup-port role to lawmakers by providingcost estimates, also warned that largedeficits and resulting increases infederal debt over time would reduceeconomic growth.

Counter-terror squad officers ar-rested Muhamad Jibril Abdurahman,alias Muhamad Ricky Ardan binMohammad Iqbal, near Jakarta lateTuesday and also raided the officeof his website, Arrahmah.com, a po-lice spokesman said.

Police believe the Pakistan-edu-cated suspect helped channel fundsfrom abroad to finance the July 17twin suicide bombings on the JWMarriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels thatkilled nine people, including six for-eigners. The source of the funds isnot known, but police have said theyare investigating the possibility themoney came from Al-Qaeda brokersin the Middle East, among others.

“Through Arrahmah andJihadmagz he felt that he couldcounter one-sided news on Islam.His media has been productive in itswork.”

Police said Muhamad Jibril wasan accomplice of Saudi national AlKhalil Ali, who was arrested earlierthis month on suspicion of smug-gling money from abroad to pay forthe attacks.

Muhamad Jibril, believed to beaged in his mid-20s, is the son ofIndonesian cleric Abu Jibril who wasarrested in Malaysia in 2001 on sus-picion of being a senior JI member.

The father was deported to Indo-nesia where he served about fivemonths in jail for using a forgedpassport. He now runs a website,Abujibriel.com, which also supportsradical Islamist groups and spoutsjihadist ideology.

“Jihad and terrorism are notsomething to be afraid of or avoided,because to cause terror to Allah’senemies is the instruction of Islam,”said an article by the “Prince ofJihad” which appeared on both

websites after the July 17 attacks.Abu Jibril’s lawyer, Yusuf

Sembiring, confirmed thatMuhamad Jibril was the author ofarticles on Arrahmah.com andAbujibriel.com attributed to the“Prince of Jihad”.

“Abu Jibril said his son is not in-volved in whatever the police areaccusing him of. He said MuhamadJibril is not involved in the hotelbombings,” the lawyer told AFP.

“The Arrahmah website containsarticles on facts about jihad... to tellpeople what jihad is all about. It’snot a tool to spread terrorism.”

Police however said they wereinvestigating the website for possiblebreaches of the criminal code relatedto inciting hatred. The website wasoffline Wednesday.

Jibril’s detention brings to five thenumber of people in custody over thehotel attacks, the worst in the mainlyMuslim country since 2005.

Five other suspects are beingsought, including Malaysian allegedmastermind Noordin MohammedTop, who was reported killed in a po-lice raid earlier this month but remainsat large. Another five members of thecell have been killed, including the op-erational planner who worked as a flo-rist at the hotels, police said.

Forecasts by the White House anda congressional financial watchdogshowed persistent large budget defi-cits even after the recession grippingthe world’s largest economy endspossibly this year.

WASHINGTON - A ballooning US government budget deficit that couldreach nine trillion dollars over a decade threatens to dent President BarackObama’s reform plans and thwart long term economic growth.

sor George W. Bush.The Congressional Budget Of-

fice (CBO), the financial watchdogof Congress, meanwhile, offered amore optimistic projection — 7.13trillion dollars — assuming all Bushadministration-imposed tax cuts ex-pired in two years.

The White House, however,trimmed the 2009 fiscal budget defi-cit projection to 1.58 trillion dollarsfrom the previous estimate of 1.84trillion dollars.

Still, the deficit, stemmingmostly from aid to the financial sys-tem and fiscal stimulus to jolt theeconomy from recession, representsmore than 11 percent of gross do-mestic product (GDP), the largest asa share of the economy since WorldWar II, analysts pointed out.

Under assumptions by both theWhite House and the CBO, theUnited States will consistently runup large deficits of around three tofour percent of GDP.

“Permanent deficits of this sizeare a real negative for long-run eco-nomic growth, pushing up interestrates and reducing the amount ofcapital available for private invest-ment, ultimately reducing produc-

tivity growth,” warned AugustineFaucher, director of macroeconom-ics for Moody’s Economy.com.

To close the deficit and boostlong-run growth, he said,policymakers would need to raisetaxes and cut spending, steps theyhave been unwilling to take.

The White House acknowledgedthe alarming fiscal situation butblamed the Bush administration forthe mounting deficit.

“Overall, it underscores the direfiscal situation that we inherited andthe need for serious steps to put ournation back on a sustainable fiscalpath,” said the White House’s Officeof Management and Budget direc-tor Peter Orszag.

But Orszag pointed out that sevenmonths of Obama administrationpolicies had already seen the esti-mated deficit for the 2009 fiscal year,which ends September 30, trimmedby 262 billion dollars.

The government has pumped hun-dreds of billions of dollars into the frag-ile financial system battered by a crisisstemming from a home mortgage melt-down that plunged the world’s largesteconomy into recession.

The CBO, a nonpartisan statutorywatchdog which plays a critical sup-port role to lawmakers by providingcost estimates, also warned that largedeficits and resulting increases infederal debt over time would reduceeconomic growth.

Counter-terror squad officers ar-rested Muhamad Jibril Abdurahman,alias Muhamad Ricky Ardan binMohammad Iqbal, near Jakarta lateTuesday and also raided the officeof his website, Arrahmah.com, a po-lice spokesman said.

Police believe the Pakistan-edu-cated suspect helped channel fundsfrom abroad to finance the July 17twin suicide bombings on the JWMarriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels thatkilled nine people, including six for-eigners.

“Through Arrahmah andJihadmagz he felt that he couldcounter one-sided news on Islam.His media has been productive in itswork.”

Police said Muhamad Jibril wasan accomplice of Saudi national AlKhalil Ali, who was arrested earlierthis month on suspicion of smug-gling money from abroad to pay forthe attacks.

Muhamad Jibril, believed to beaged in his mid-20s, is the son ofIndonesian cleric Abu Jibril who wasarrested in Malaysia in 2001 on sus-picion of being a senior JI member.

The father was deported to Indo-nesia where he served about fivemonths in jail for using a forgedpassport. He now runs a website,Abujibriel.com, which also supportsradical Islamist groups and spoutsjihadist ideology.

“Jihad and terrorism are notsomething to be afraid of or avoided,because to cause terror to Allah’senemies is the instruction of Islam,”said an article by the “Prince ofJihad” which appeared on both

websites after the July 17 attacks.Abu Jibril’s lawyer, Yusuf

Sembiring, confirmed thatMuhamad Jibril was the author ofarticles on Arrahmah.com andAbujibriel.com attributed to the“Prince of Jihad”.

“Abu Jibril said his son is not in-volved in whatever the police areaccusing him of. He said MuhamadJibril is not involved in the hotelbombings,” the lawyer told AFP.

“The Arrahmah website containsarticles on facts about jihad... to tellpeople what jihad is all about. It’snot a tool to spread terrorism.”

Police however said they wereinvestigating the website for possiblebreaches of the criminal code relatedto inciting hatred. The website wasoffline Wednesday.

Jibril’s detention brings to five thenumber of people in custody over thehotel attacks, the worst in the mainlyMuslim country since 2005.

Five other suspects are beingsought, including Malaysian allegedmastermind Noordin MohammedTop, who was reported killed in a po-lice raid earlier this month but remainsat large. Another five members of thecell have been killed, including the op-erational planner who worked as a flo-rist at the hotels, police said.

COLOMBO - Internationalcredit rating agency Standard andPoor’s has raised the outlook on itsrating for Sri Lanka’s debt to “stable”from “negative” following a 2.6-bil-lion-dollar IMF bailout package.

The move to a stable outlook re-flects the improving state of thegovernment’s finances and means therisk of a further downgrade of the maincredit rating is diminished.

The agency kept Sri Lanka’s rat-ing at “B”, which is five notches belowinvestment grade despite an improve-ment in the island’s foreign reserves.

With a weak global outlook limitingAsian exports the bank said countries hadto speed up measures to bolster expansionat home, adding that the best way to achievethis is to provide help for small and me-dium-sized businesses.

“While the global economy will nodoubt recover from the current crisis, a re-turn to a fast-growing developing Asia willrequire some rebalancing of growth towarddomestic demand in the region as a whole,”it said in a report released here.

“Fostering dynamism among Asianenterprises, especially SMEs, will be im-portant to this effort.”

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs)are businesses that employ fewer than 200workers and are key employers in Asia, theADB said, adding that in manufacturingalone they account for between 50 and 90percent of employment.

“It is precisely because SMEs employso many of Asia’s workers that their pro-ductivity, and the earnings and wages theygenerate become crucial in determining liv-ing standards of many Asians,” the reportsaid.

Vibrant SMEs are crucial to the devel-opment of a large Asian middle class, seenas an important driver for domestic demand,


SYDNEY - Australia Wednesday approved amassive energy project that will supply natural gasworth tens of billions of dollars to China and India,giving new impetus to its resources boom.

Environment Minister Peter Garrett imposed28 conditions to protect wildlife but said he saw noreason to block the Gorgon liquefied natural gas(LNG) plant off Western Australia, allowing it toclear the final regulatory hurdle.

The project is a joint venture by Chevron, Shelland ExxonMobil, which has signed a record 41 bil-lion US dollar contract with Chinese giantPetroChina and another worth 21 billion dollars withIndia’s Petronet.

“I’ve considered it very carefully, I don’t be-lieve that there will be unacceptable (environmen-tal) impacts and, as a consequence of that, I havemade my decision today,” Garrett told reporters.

He said the conditions included measures toprotect endangered turtles and other species onnearby Barrow Island and to minimise noise andlight emissions.

“It is acceptable for the expansion to go aheadsubject to the conditions,” he said. “The public can

SINGAPORE - Asian governments should look to boost domesticdemand to help the region return to strong economic growth, the AsianDevelopment Bank (ADB) said Wednesday.

the Manila-based bank said. It urged Asian governments to remove

several constraints it said prevented thegrowth of such businesses.

Among the limits it says are hinderingthe firms are weak access to financing andnew technologies that will help them becomemore innovative.

The report also cited infrastructure prob-lems such as poor transportation systems andlack of access to stable electricity supply.

While Asia is recovering from the glo-bal crisis faster than the United States andother Western economies, this is largely dueto government stimulus measures, which arelikely to have a short-term impact, ADBchief economist Jong-Wha Lee said at anews briefing in Singapore.

The crisis is an opportunity to look atlonger-term issues to sustain Asia’s eco-nomic rise, he said, adding however that theprocess of rebalancing growth may takemore than 10 years.

“Public policy has an important role toplay,” the report said.

“The design of policy needs to be basedon a clear understanding of the differenttypes of enterprises in the region, how theyare linked with one another and their poten-tial for growth.”

S & P raises outlookfor Sri Lanka debt

to 3.2 billion dollars, boosted by in-flows for bonds, the central bank gov-ernor Nivard Cabraal said Tuesday.

In July, the IMF approved a 20-month 2.6-billion-dollar loan and im-mediately released 322 million dollarsto help avert a balance of paymentscrisis in the island that is just recover-ing from a 37-year war with ethnicTamil rebels.

Sri Lanka plans to sell bondsworth 500 million dollars to overseasinvestors next month to offset projectedspending needed to rebuild infrastruc-ture and homes in the war-torn northand east.

“This would strengthen Sri Lanka’sexternal financing situation and permitthe dedication of resources toward post-war reconstruction efforts,” saidAnushka Shah, an economist atCitigroup Global Markets in India.

Despite securing external aid, SriLanka’s gross external financing re-quirement will remain high, S & P said.

Garrett said he expected Chevron and theventure’s other partners would be “more than will-ing” to meet the conditions.

“We have had those discussions with the com-pany and it is the case that there is agreement on thebasis of the conditions that I’ve put forward, and Iwelcome that,” he said.

The Gorgon field, thought to hold more than 40trillion cubic feet of gas, is expected to create thou-sands of jobs and pump billions of dollars intoAustralia’s economy.

Chevron, majority partner in the project, wel-comed Garrett’s approval and said a final investmentdecision would be made in the coming months.

“The Gorgon project is Australia’s largest singleresource project and is set to deliver significant eco-nomic benefits and create around 10,000 indirect anddirect jobs during peak construction,” said RoyKrzywosinski, the company’s Australian managingdirector.

He said the plant was “globally and nationallysignificant”, with an economic life of at least 40years, adding it had been sited to minimise the envi-ronmental impact.

Google Maps is being enhanced thisweek to combine feedback from indi-vidual drivers with other traffic infor-mation to let people know which roadsare likely to get them to their intendeddestinations the quickest.

This month, the 35-year-oldKathmandu native who was once anaspiring Bollywood actor opened histenth school in Nepal and revealedambitious plans to provide affordableeducation for all children in the Hima-layan nation.

Over the past nine years, Sanjel hasbuilt up a nationwide network ofschools that offer an education for just100 rupees (1.40 dollars) a month inone of the world’s poorest countries.

They are built using only the cheap-est materials — earning them the nick-name “bamboo schools” — with fundsdonated by local businesspeople andcharitable organisations.

“I want every child to benefit frommy schools,” Sanjel told AFP after host-ing a colourful opening ceremony forhis latest addition in this village in west-ern Nepal.

“No child should be left out ofschool because the family can’t affordto pay for education.

“When the current political turmoilis over in Nepal, we will need educatedpeople to build this country.”

When Sanjel built his first school in2001, Nepal was in the grip of a 10-year civil war between Maoist rebelsand the army in which at least 13,000people died.

The conflict ended in 2006, but po-litical stability remains elusive andmore than half the population still livesbeneath the poverty line.

Nonetheless, education is highlyprized and many families scrimp to

KAWASOTI - When Uttam Sanjel began giving reading classes to street children in the Nepalesecapital in the 1990s, he had little idea what his small teaching scheme would one day turn into.

send children to fee-paying schools thatoffer classes in English rather than tothe Nepali-language governmentschools.

But a private education remains outof the reach of many in the Himalayannation, where the average annual in-come is just 470 dollars.

Public education only began in Nepalin 1951, and adult literacy rates remainamong the lowest in the region.

In 2005 — the latest year for whichcomparative data was available — only48.6 percent of adults in Nepal were lit-erate against 61 percent in India, 90.7percent in Sri Lanka and 47 percent inBangladesh, UN figures show.

Sanjel said he wanted to offer a bet-ter alternative to the free governmentschools in Nepal, calling the discrep-ancy between private and public school-ing a major social injustice.

“There are two kinds of schooling.The public school students do not knowhow to speak in English even when theyleave school. The private school stu-dents can send emails to their parentsfrom grade two,” he said.

“This is not how it should be. It iswrong because it will create two kindsof citizen.”

Bus driver Dol Raj Subedi is send-ing his eldest son to Sanjel’s new school,and says he wishes he could have hadthe same opportunity as a child. “Driv-ing is hard work. I am not very well andmy back hurts a lot,” said the 37-year-old, who earns 150 rupees a day.

“If I was educated, if my parents had

sent me to school, I think it would havebeen different.

“All I care about is good educationfor my children. This new system ofeducation in my village has helped meto get that.”

Sanjel has won awards in Nepal forhis work in the education sector, but headmits he did not excel at school, andsays he never considered teaching as acareer option.

He spent seven years in Mumbai try-ing to realise his dream of becoming aBollywood star before returning toKathmandu where, finding himself at aloose end, he began teaching classes forstreet children.

“I thought only a couple would showup. But around 100 children took partand started learning enthusiastically. Iwas overwhelmed,” Sanjel told AFP.

The experience inspired him to startthe first of his network of schools —called Samata, or Equality Schools, onthe outskirts of Kathmandu with just100 students.

Now, that school alone educates3,500 pupils and in all, Sanjel has 18,000children in his care.

“There were hardships along theway,” he told AFP. “At one point I hidinside a toilet cubicle for two hours be-cause I did not have money to pay theconstruction contractors.

“I was not able to pay the teachers’salaries for three whole months and itwas always difficult to pull togetherenough money to pay the staff. But ifyou are persistent, you will succeed.”

Design chosen forMumbai’s ‘Statue of Liberty’

vironment ministry, was approved at acabinet meeting of the Maharashtrastate government on Tuesday, Times ofIndia and other media here said.

The monument will depictChhatrapati Shivaji, who established akingdom in western India free from therule of the Muslim Mughal empire.

He is still an icon to hardline Hindugroups in Mumbai and Maharashtra,who argue that not enough is being doneto protect the interests of local Marathi-speaking people in the state from “out-siders.”

Critics argue that the estimatedthree-billion-rupee (61-million-dollar)project, which includes a museum andgardens, should be shelved and themoney spent on more pressing concernslike housing and infrastructure.

“Crowdsourcing traffic gives us away to harness bits of location data fromour users and give it back to them in aform they can use to make decisionsthat affect their free time, their pocket-books and the environment,” he said.

Google Maps users with concernsabout strangers keeping track of wherethey drive can opt out of the program,according to the Internet firm.

A probation report prepared forTuesday’s sentencing describes twoprevious violent incidents. It said thefirst happened about three monthsbefore the February beating whilethe couple was traveling in Europe;Rihanna slapped Brown during anargument, and he shoved her into awall. In the second instance, Brownallegedly broke the front and passen-ger side windows on a Range Roverthey were driving while visiting Bar-bados, Rihanna’s home country.Neither attack was reported, the pro-bation report states.

Brown will serve his sentence inhis home state — Virginia — and hiscommunity labor will be overseen bythe police chief in Richmond.

The judge said she wanted toensure that Brown, 20, performsphysical labor instead of commu-nity service, such as mentoringyoung people. He will also undergoa year of domestic violence coun-seling.

Rihanna did not attendTuesday’s sentencing. At one point,Brown, who was accompanied byhis mother, agreed to the terms ofthe sentence before Schnegg hadfinished going through them all.

LOS ANGELES – A key pointof contention has emerged in thecase investigators are piecing to-gether about the death of MichaelJackson: Exactly when did Dr.Conrad Murray realize that his pa-tient had stopped breathing?

There are currently two accountsof that moment on June 25, andabout an hour separates them.

According to police documents,Murray told detectives he put Jack-son to sleep with drugs just min-utes before he found the singer notbreathing around 11 a.m., then letnearly 90 minutes go by — muchof that time on his cell phone —before an ambulance was called.

But Murray’s lawyer says thedoctor didn’t discover a strickenJackson until around noon.

Investigators have ruled Jackson’sdeath a homicide, based on testsshowing he was killed by the combi-nation of the anesthetic propofol withat least two sedatives, a law enforce-ment official told The AssociatedPress, speaking on condition of ano-nymity because the finding has notbeen publicly released.

The homicide designation doesnot necessarily mean a crime wascommitted, though it’s a helpful


LOS ANGELES –“Inglourious Basterds,” the lateststylized action flick from direc-tor Quentin Tarantino, took the topspot at the North American boxoffice over the weekend, accord-ing to industry figures.

Starring Brad Pitt, the film abouta roving Jewish-American militiathat kills and scalps Nazis in occu-pied France earned 37.6 milliondollars in its first week of release,according to box office tracker Ex-hibitor Relations.

Falling to second place was“District 9,” which tells the storyof extraterrestrial refugees whoare granted asylum in South Af-rica but have to fight off a nefari-ous corporation seeking to harnesstheir alien technology.

The well-reviewed actionthriller earned 18.2 million dol-lars in box office receipts in itssecond week of release.

Also falling one place was“G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra,”which took the number three spotin its third week in theaters. Theaction movie based on the popu-

LOS ANGELES – A judge on Tuesday sentenced Chris Brown tofive years’ probation and six months’ community labor for the beatingof Rihanna and ordered the R&B singer to stay away from his formergirlfriend for the next five years.

lawyer, Mark Geragos, asked to moveup the singer’s sentencing to Tuesday.A previous attempt to sentence Brownwas postponed when Schnegg saidshe hadn’t received adequate assur-ances that Brown would performphysical labor if allowed to serve pro-bation in Virginia.

The judge said she was satisfiedwith a letter presented by Geragosthat Richmond Police Chief BryanT. Norwood will directly overseeBrown’s labor program.

After Brown pleaded guilty tofelony assault in June, Schnegg or-dered the pair to stay away from eachother and to not contact one another.Her order Tuesday essentially ex-tended that until Brown completeshis sentence.

Donald Etra, Rihanna’s attorney,has said he didn’t think the strict ruleswere necessary, but that he andRihanna favored a less-stringent rul-ing that simply ordered Brown not toannoy, harass or molest the 21-year-old pop singer. He said afterTuesday’s hearing that Rihanna didnot object to the stay-away order,which allows the former couple to bewithin 10 yards of each other if theyare attending music industry events.

Schnegg said she was aware ofreports that Brown had been spottedon several occasions in the sameplaces as Rihanna. “I am not amusedwith the chatter that has been on theairwaves and any violation of yourprobation in this case comes with thepotential for state prison,” Schneggtold Brown.

A felony charge of making crimi-nal threats was dropped duringTuesday’s sentencing. “We feel thatthe sentence for Mr. Brown is anequitable one,” said Sandi Gibbons,a district attorney’s spokeswoman.“He has his future in his hands. Hehas control of his fate.”

Gibbons said Brown’s chargecould eventually be reduced to amisdemeanor if he completes hissentence. Brown was arrested Feb.8, hours after he was accused of beat-ing Rihanna.

The attack occurred in Los An-geles’ Hancock Park neighborhoodas Brown drove a rented sports car.A Los Angeles police detective de-scribed a brutal attack in a searchwarrant affidavit filed in the case,stating Brown hit, choked and bitRihanna and tried at one point topush her from the car.

Brown’s career suffered after hisarrest, with sponsors dropping himand radio stations refusing to playhis music. Both he and Rihanna hadto cancel several high-profile appear-ances, including planned perfor-mances at the Grammy Awards theday of the attack.

In a probation report released af-ter the sentencing, Brown is quotedas saying he was “depressed” sincethe attack and that he “‘does not wantto carry on that cycle.’”

The report included letters of sup-port for Brown from RCA/Jive La-bel Group Chairman Barry Weiss aswell as an entertainment lawyer anda pastor.

“This is just the beginning. Thesummit is still growing, just like In-dian contemporary art,” said NehaKirpal, associate director of theevent. Like other experts, Kirpalconcedes that China is “way ahead”of India in terms of the developmentof its art market.

Visitors to the summit werestruck, however, by the broad rangeof contemporary art on display, theinterest of foreign galleries and theprofessional organisation.

Last year, the first edition of thesummit had three international gal-leries. This year 17 participated de-spite the economic slowdown,Kirpal said.

A new study finds obese peoplehave 8 percent less brain tissuethan normal-weight individuals.Their brains look 16 years olderthan the brains of lean individuals,researchers said today.

Those classified as overweighthave 4 percent less brain tissue andtheir brains appear to have agedprematurely by 8 years.

The results, based on brainscans of 94 people in their 70s,represent “severe brain degenera-tion,” said Paul Thompson, seniorauthor of the study and a UCLAprofessor of neurology.

“That’s a big loss of tissue andit depletes your cognitive reserves,putting you at much greater risk ofAlzheimer’s and other diseasesthat attack the brain,” said Thomp-son. “But you can greatly reduceyour risk for Alzheimer’s, if youcan eat healthily and keep yourweight under control.”

The findings are detailed in theonline edition of the journal Hu-man Brain Mapping.


SAN FRANCISCO - Internetcriminals might be rethinking afavorite scam for stealing people’spersonal information.

A report being releasedWednesday by IBM Corp. showsa big drop in the volume of“phishing” e-mails, in which fraudartists send what looks like a le-gitimate message from a bank orsome other company. If the recipi-ents click on a link in a phishinge-mail, they land on a rogue Website that captures their passwords,account numbers or any other in-formation they might enter.

IBM’s midyear security reportfound that phishing accounted for just0.1 percent of all spam in the first sixmonths of this year. In the same pe-riod in 2008, phishing made up 0.2

Obese People Have ‘SevereBrain Degeneration’

Obesity packs many negativehealth effects, including increasedrisk of heart disease, Type 2 dia-betes, hypertension and some can-cers. It’s also been shown to reducesexual activity.

More than 300 million world-wide are now classified as obese,according to the World Health Or-ganization. Another billion areoverweight. The main cause, ex-perts say: bad diet, including anincreased reliance on highly pro-cessed foods.

Obese people had lost brain tis-sue in the frontal and temporallobes, areas of the brain critical forplanning and memory, and in theanterior cingulate gyrus (attentionand executive functions), hippoc-ampus (long-term memory) andbasal ganglia (movement), the re-searchers said in a statement today.Overweight people showed brainloss in the basal ganglia, the co-rona radiata, white matter com-prised of axons, and the parietallobe (sensory lobe).

percent to 0.8 percent of all spam.It’s not clear what, if anything,

the decline means. (It also doesn’tappear to be a statistical illusioncaused by an increase in otherkinds of spam. IBM said overallspam volume hasn’t expanded, likeit did in years past.)

“That is a huge, precipitous de-cline in the amount of phishing,”said Kris Lamb, director of the X-Force research team in IBM’sInternet Security Systems division,which did the report. But “Iwouldn’t tell anybody that phishinghas died as a threat.”

Lamb believes phishing mighthave fallen off because computerusers are getting smarter aboutidentifying phony Web sites. Secu-rity software is also getting betterat filtering out phishing sites be-fore Web surfers ever seen them.

Indian visitors look at an exhibit by artist G.R. Iranna made of wood, fibreglass, metal, leather and rubbertyres at the India Art Summit 2009 in New Delhi on August 20, 2009. Poised to make in-roads into high valueinternational scene, artists and exhibitors at India’s biggest contemporary art show hail the emergence ofnew buyers and applaud the price correction. The three-day India Art Summit held in the country’s capitalNew Delhi displays hundreds of art work—brimming with a fresh wave of talent, confident to splash brightcolours, play up the powerful Indian middle class and sprinkle western influence on the Indian culturalcanvas to attract collectors across the globe.

NEW DELHI - For the past two decades, Indian artists have had towatch in envy as foreign buyers showered recognition and cash on theirChinese peers.

say the supporting infrastructuremust be improved — a commonproblem in all areas of life in India.

Art schools, galleries, museumsand public funds are all lacking.

“Can anybody enlighten meabout the government’s role in pro-moting art?” said Dadiba Pundole,owner of the Pundole art gallery inMumbai, one of India’s oldest gal-leries.

“They have failed miserably andit is only the private players that havekept the scene alive.”

The country has a legacy of art-work going back 9,000 years butthere are just a handful of prominentgalleries in India for thousands ofartists and only a few crumblingmuseums, built between 1910-1920by the British.

“The total number of art schoolscan be counted on one’s fingertips,”said Kirpal.

Yamini Mehta, director of mod-ern and contemporary Indian art atthe Christie’s auction house in Lon-don, says the Indian art business isgathering momentum but the ab-sence of institutional support is aproblem.

“There has not been much insti-

tutional support and resources forthe visual arts in India as there hasbeen in China,” Mehta told AFP.

She says the Chinese authoritieshave promoted the arts heavily sincethe 1980s to compensate for the lossof creativity during the CulturalRevolution of the 1960s.

The Cultural Revolution tried toannihilate previous art practices, thesort of disturbance that India hasnever experienced

Unlike Chinese art, however,much of the work by Indians is stillbought by Indians, making the mar-ket inward-looking and limiting itsdevelopment internationally.

“Most Indians buy indigenousworks, which is a good way to startcollecting art but gradually Indianart has to step out of its own bordersfor wider acceptance,” said StefanWimmer from the Beck Egglingart gallery in Germany, which had adisplay at the art summit.

The rise of India’s business eliteis also creating a class of peopleready to splash cash on domestic art,promising a brighter future for lo-cal galleries and artists.

“There are the fixed (established)clients and there are the new clientswho have invested in houses, cars,jewellery but are looking for more.Art is their preferred choice,” saysShilpa Dugar of krishala arts, a gal-lery based in the southern Indian cityof Chennai.

The country fell into crisis in Marchwhen Andry Rajoelina, former mayorof the capital Antananarivo, overthrewpresident Marc Ravalomanana withmilitary backing following weeks ofviolent street protests.

The rival leaders, together withex-presidents Didier Ratsiraka andAlbert Zafy, began meeting Tues-day in Maputo to divide up the topposts in the new government, whichwas agreed on August 9 during afirst round of talks.


NEW YORK - Senator EdwardKennedy, who died Tuesday, aged77, was the liberal lion of US poli-tics, a towering, controversial fig-ure whose death ends an era whenhis family appeared born to rule.

the exact nature of the problem orif the vlave must be replaced, hewarned, “then we will probably notbe in a position to launch 48 hoursfrom now.”

Weather and hurricane riskscould also prevent a Friday launch,he noted.

Discovery can blast off untilabout Sunday, after which any at-tempts would have to be postponeduntil mid-October due to schedul-ing conflicts.

US space agency officials saidthe problem valve cycles liquidoxygen from the external fuel tankto the shuttle’s main propulsionsystem, and technicians will at-tempt to fix it while Discovery re-mains at the launch pad, position-ing it for a third launch attemptFriday at 12:22 am (0422 GMT).

MAPUTO - Madagascar’s power-brokers Wednesday tackled thethorny question of who will lead a new transitional government meant toguide the island nation to elections, in talks in the Mozambican capital.

“They haven’t reached an under-standing on any sensitive post,” onesource close to the talks said.

Under the deal, the rivals willestablish a transitional governmentin the large Indian Ocean islandcountry and hold democratic elec-tions by the end of 2010.

The four leaders representMadagascar’s main political move-ments, and each has set out its ownproposals, according to sourcesclose to the talks, which are medi-

ated by former Mozambican presi-dent Joaquim Chissano.

Under the August 9 agreement,the four leaders must name an in-terim government by September 8.

No member of the transitionalgovernment except its president willbe eligible to run in the expected2010 presidential election.

Rajoelina, the country’s currentleader, has declared on national tele-vision that only he could be the tran-sitional president.

Ousted president Ravalomanana,in exile in South Africa since hisoverthrow, has promised not to seeka direct role in the interim govern-ment. The talks are scheduled towrap up later Wednesday.

yet received an official permit underMalaysia’s strict media licensingscheme. However, editor ZulkifleeAnwar Ulhaque disputed that claim andsaid the seizure of the inaugural edi-tion — which had a caricature of PrimeMinister Najib Razak on the front cover— was politically motivated.

“Our permit was approved twoweeks ago. We were told of the de-cision verbally and given the permitserial number, we are just waitingfor the official letter,” he told AFP.

The caricature linked the premierto the sensational 2006 murder of aMongolian model who was the loverof his former adviser — a case inwhich Najib has repeatedly denied

any involvement or knowledge.The publication also carried car-

toons on the recent mysterious deathof a political aide to an oppositionlegislator, as well as a crackdown ona massive rally against controversialinternal security laws.

“This is politically motivated... Idon’t think (Najib) practises what hepreaches when he said media shouldbe given more freedom,” Zulkiflee said.

Nowitzki’s ex sentenced tofive years in prison

ciation star Dirk Nowitzki to five yearsin jail in connection with a forgery andtheft case, the American media reported.

Cristal Taylor, who claims to bepregnant with Nowitzki’s child, ap-

peared in front of judge NancySchneider on Monday wearing a baggyorange prison suit, The Dallas Morn-ing News reported.

The 38-year-old Taylor was initiallycharged with three counts as part of anongoing theft and forgery case.

Taylor was handed a five-year con-current sentence but the judge reducedit to four years because of the proba-tion time already served, the newspa-per said.

Court documents obtained by thepaper indicated Taylor was in a rela-tionship with Dallas Mavericks playerNowitzki but he dumped her after thepolice showed up at their house to ar-rest her. While she didn’t mentionNowitzki by name, she clearly re-ferred to him in her written pleas tothe judge.

“I was engaged to a great man,” Tay-lor had written to the judge. “I paid theultimate price for my past.

“When I got arrested at our homeand the media got a hold of my story,the love of my life left me. I can’t say Iblame him. It’s not like I was worthy ofhim giving me a chance.”

Germany’s Nowitzki did not returnphone calls on Monday.

He said earlier during the NBA play-offs that he didn’t think his personal lifeto be a distraction to his career.

“It is pretty obvious that I am goingthrough a tough time in my personallife right now,” Nowitzki said. “I wantto keep my private life private.”

American legal experts estimate thatwith time off for good behaviour, Tay-lor could end up only having to servejust 14 months of her sentence.

PARIS - A first-half hat-trickfrom new Argentinian signingLisandro crushed Anderlecht’shopes of qual i fying for theChampions League group stagesas Lyon showed their last 32 cre-dentials in a 3-1 win in Belgium.

Thanks to their 5-1 victoryover the Belgian s ide at theGerland stadium last week, giv-ing them an 8-2 aggregate result,Lyon were the most convincingteam of the five who qualified forthe group stage on Tuesday.

Elsewhere Maccabi Haifajoined the lucrative stages ofEurope’s premier club competi-t ion with a 3-0 win over FCSalzburg which gave the Israelisa 5-1 victory over the Austrians.

Debrecen secured their ticketin similar fashion, becoming thefirst Hungarian side to qualify forthe group s tages s inceFerencvaros in 1995 by beatingBulgarian outfit Levski Sofia 2-0 at home on the night for an ag-gregate of 4-1.

Last season Real were ordinarycompared to the dazzling Barcelonaand a quick-fix was the only answeras they recruited a new manager andalmost an entire team at a cost of over250 million euros.

New coach Manuel Pellegrini hasarrived from Villarreal and watchedon as Real, who rarely consult themanager on signings, splashed thecash on Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka,Xabi Alonso, Karim Benzema andRaul Albiol among others.

A cool 163 million euros (233million dollar) was spent to lure Bra-zilian Kaka from AC Milan andworld record signing Ronaldo fromManchester United as Real bid tooutshine a Lionel Messi-inspiredBarcelona.

With Ronaldo and Kaka joiningMessi in the Spanish league, footballfans can now directly compare threeof the world’s most gifted stars andjudge for themselves who is the bestplayer on the planet.

“I think we can win the big tro-phies with the team that we have,”said Ronaldo. “However, we have torecognise that Barcelona are thechampions, have a great team and amagnificent coach.”

Swedish striker ZlatanIbrahimovic is rarely talked about inthe same bracket as Ronaldo andcompany so this is his big chance toshine after joining championsBarcelona from Inter Milan in a 69million euro (98 million dollar) dealthat saw Samuel Eto’o go the oppo-site way.

MADRID - Money doesn’t always ensure success but it certainly helps and Real Madrid hopetheir new collection of expensive ‘Galacticos’ live up to the hype and help overcome Pep Guardiola’sall-conquering Barcelona side full of confidence after last season’s historic treble.

“Barcelona won everything lastseason so the pressure will be onMadrid because they have spent somuch on players.” said Ibrahimovic.

In the last campaign Barcelonabeat Real twice as well as Chelsea andManchester United on route to win-ning a league, Kings Cup and Cham-pions League treble and if they canreproduce that form they will takesome stopping.

While the league is the top prior-ity, Europe will have an extra edgefor both sides with the ChampionsLeague final being played at Madrid’sSantiago Bernabeu stadium.

Real have not won the trophy since2002 when the prototype Galacticoteam of Zinedine Zidane, RobertoCarlos and Luis Figo came up trumps.

Barcelona have won the trophytwice recently in 2006 and 2009 andnothing would be sweeter than win-ning the competition on the groundof their fiercest rivals.

Real host Deportivo La Coruna onSaturday night in the season curtain-raiser while Barcelona begin theirtitle defence against Sporting Gijonon Monday due to their EuropeanSuper Cup commitments.

It is hard to look past Barcelonaand Real for the league title with theother top sides lacking the squaddepth and genuine quality to make animpact.

Atletico Madrid have done well tohold onto Sergio “Kun” Aguero andthe league’s top-scorer Diego Forlanas coach Abel Resino attempts topush the club to the next level by win-

ning a major trophy for the first timesince 1996.

Villarreal failed to qualify for theChampions League so should be ableto focus on the league more but theloss of manager Pellegrini to Realcould take some time to absorb.

Sevilla performed admirably tofinish third last season and havesigned forward Alvaro Negredo for15 million euros from Real butChampions League qualification isthe realistic target.

The highlight fixture of the open-ing weekend is on Sunday whenSevilla travel to Valencia who havesomehow managed to hang onto theirstar duo of David Villa and DavidSilva despite well-publicised finan-cial problems.

Barcelona and Real both wantedVilla but Valencia refused to budge ontheir asking price and the Spanish in-ternational remains a Valencia player.

Elsewhere Espanyol have made anintriguing signing with Japanese in-ternational midfielder ShunsukeNakamura arriving from Celtic.

The Barcelona club are still inmourning after their captain DaniJarque died of a heart attack at a pre-season training camp at the age of 26and the league will pay their respectson the opening day of the 2009/10season.

Real Zaragoza, Tenerife and Xerezare the three newcomers to the leagueand Sunday will be a special day forsecond division champions Xerezwho will play their first ever game inthe top-flight against Real Mallorca.

Ventspils had been hoping tobecome the first Latvian side toqualify for the group stages how-ever despite scoring a goal at FCZurich they were defeated 2-1,for an aggregate score of 5-1.

Atletico Madrid had taken amajor stride towards qualifica-t ion with a 3-2 win away atPanathinaikos last week and con-firmed their superiority over theGreeks with a 2-0 win in Madridwhich puts them among the last32 for the second year running.

In the past 10 years Lyon havebeen regulars in the group stages,reaching the quarter-finals in2006 when they were eliminatedby AC Milan.

Having lost the French leaguetitle for the first time in eight sea-sons in May, to Bordeaux, theFrench giants were forced tocome through qualifying.

But despite predictions of aclose two-leg fixture againstAnderlecht, Claude Puel’s sideshowed they more than deserveto join Europe’s elite.

After their 5-1 mauling of the

Belgians last week in Lyon, whereLisandro scored their second goalfrom a penalty in the 15th minute,Anderlecht had a mountain toclimb in this second leg.

Lining up alongside fellow Ar-gentine Cesar Delgado, on theleft wing, Lisandro bounced backin style from a groin strain at theweekend to put the French sideinto the lead with a superb lob inthe 25th minute following an er-ror in the hosts’ defence.

Barely seven minutes later theformer FC Porto striker pouncedon Anthony Reveillere’s pass todouble his score.

Lisandro added a third fourminutes before half-time afterpouncing on a rebound fromDelgado, the Argentine later be-ing substituted on the hour markfor 17-year-old Ishak Belfodil.

The loss sees Anderlecht dropdown to the Europa League.Wednesday’s second leg play-offs feature Arsenal aiming todrive home their 2-0 first leg ad-vantage over Celtic at the Emir-ates Stadium.

Seeing these violations, Governor of BaliMade Mangku Pastika stated that it was requireda firm and clear attitude. “Without firmness andclarity of attitude, it would be difficult to saveBali in years to come,” he described followingto attend the plenary session of Bali House ofRepresentatives, Tuesday, August 25th 2009.

On that account, Governor shored up the firmattitude of the Members of Parliament related tocriminal sanction. Regional Legislation on theProvincial Spatial Layout Plan (RTRWP) of Balishould be firm and clear. “Sanction of RegionalLegislation on this spatial layout should be firmand clear to avoid any interpretation,” he said.

Without firm and clear attitude, it is hard tosave Bali in the future. “Bali has become toodamaged. Lake Batur and Lake Beratan havebeen surrounded by hotel. It excludes the viola-tion against coastal border and so forth,” he re-marked.

So, how is about the villa at Dasong forestnear Lake Buyan that currently is highlighted byenvironmentalists? On responding to this ques-tion, Governor did not give firm answer yetwhether its development would be closed or con-tinued. “Yes, we will learn it first and observe towhat extent it has made violation,” he added.

BANGLI — The problems of Kintamanitourism seems to grow more complicated. Otherthan faced to the matters concerning with theremainders of hotel and restaurant tax (HRT),exaction to tourist on boat by a reason that the“ruler” of Lake Batur asked for a sacrifice, strik-ing toward tourist guide and other black im-ages, it is now estimated that the entrance fees,and hotel and restaurant tax leaked of approxi-mately 50%.

Its modus consists of the weakness of con-trol executed by government and unclear atti-tude of government toward Kintamani. Thismatter causes the “mischievous” officer takeindividual benefits. One of the methods is thatthe visiting tourists were not provided with ticketas has been paid. Only one ticket was issuedfor all but the amount of payment has been pur-suant to the number of tourists in the car. It wasdelivered by Deputy Chairman of Bangli Houseof Representatives who also becomes one ofthe tourism businesspeople in Bali, I MadeSudiasa and a member of the Bangli House, I.B.

Batur – The damage in Bali has be-come too severe. Lake Batur and LakeBeratan have been surrounded by ho-tels. In relatively short time, LakeBuyan with Dasong forest will be filledwith villas. It excludes the violation ofbeach border and radii of temple’s sa-credness.

In his speech after the stipulation of RegionalLegislation on city management plan, Gover-nor confessed to feel happy because Bali Houseof Representatives could stipulate it before theterm ends. The arrangement of this regional leg-islation draft ran slowly, took more energy andtime since December 2008 until the third weekof August 2009. This long process was coveredas an endeavor to absorb the aspiration of allcomponents of community ranging from the aca-demician, spatial layout observer, humanists,Hindu Dharma Assembly of Indonesia (PHDI)as well as other components. “Hopefully, fur-ther process in the evaluation and clarificationdone by Department of Home Affairs would notfind any substantial obstacles so that this draftcould be stipulated procedurally,” he said.

He promised to undertake the regional leg-islation thoroughly, consistently and with highresponsibility. Hence, he appealed the commu-nity to keep on guarding the implementationof the Bali Regional Legislation on theRTRWP. In addition, he also expected that allcomponents of Balinese community, includ-ing the government of regency/city across Balito make the regional legislation as reference inundertaking the spatial layout, ranging fromthe planning until the controlling of spatial uti-lization. It is important for the sake of realiza-tion of Bali as a territory having quality, se-cure, convenient, productive characteristic,having identity and Balinese culture as well aseco-friendly orientation based on the Tri HitaKarana and Sad Kertih philosophy.

Estimated, 50% of Kintamani’s Entrance Fees and HRT LeakSantosa, Tuesday (25/8). According to Sudiasa,the estimation on the leakage of entrance feesto tourist object was indicated by a recent re-port from a tourist guide. A tourist transportcontaining full of capacity was only given oneentrance ticket, while the amount paid by tour-ists has been pursuant to the number of tour-ists.

Such condition is made more serious by thenon-existence of clear attitude of governmenton the management of Kintamani that actuallydenotes a gold mine to prosper the communityif managed professionally and so does the esti-mation on the leakage of HRT. Ideally, the lo-cal government starts to apply an online IT sys-tem between the tourist object and the office ofInternal Revenue Services. By doing so, it couldbe detected the number of arrival and depart-ing guests and those making transaction inBangli. Unlike the current condition, it is with-out reference and unclear control.

Pertaining to HRT remainders that havemounted since the 1990s, they could not besettled. It is expected that the officers would nolonger employ persuasive approach. Other than

giving no return, the businesspeople do nothave good intention to deliver the (entrusted)government tax. For that purpose, governmentshould take firm endeavor because entrepre-neurs have embezzled the entrusted tax. “Nomatter what the reason is, in short, the touristshaving meals and staying at the accommoda-tion have paid such government tax,” he said.

The problem is that why the tax was notdelivered. This should be investigated becausethe tax embezzlement equals to corruption. Atthe end, they should get in touch with law en-forcer. If the endeavor is not carried out bygovernment, it also means that government hasneglected something wrong to happen persis-tently. “Moreover, the HRT remainder has beenput into the findings of the Supreme AuditAgency (BPK) every year,” he said.

Similar opinion was also expressed by I.B.Santosa. Indication on the occurrence of HRTleakage in Bangli is estimated to reach a largeamount. It has positive correlation to the num-ber of arrival and departing guests every day.Whether it is reported honestly or engineeredby the entrepreneur should be put into ques-

Kuala Lumpur — DiscoveryChannel Inc. has sent a letter to Di-rectorate General of Cultural Val-ues, Arts and Film (NBSF) toclarify the broadcast of promo-tional film “Enigmatic Malaysia”inserting the show of PendetDance.

In its e-mail to Directorate Gen-eral of NBSF Tjejep Suparman, theRegional Director of Asia RegionalAdvertising Sales of Discovery Chan-nel Inc, Angie Santa Maria, assertedthat the promotional documentaryfilm entitled “Enigmatic Malaysia”was not produced by Ministry ofMalaysian Tourism. Angie admittedthat it was the fault of promotion staffof Discovery Channel. She promisedto apologize in person to the Minis-

the head of Search and RescueUnit, said that the accident oc-curred on 14.30 local time. 15 pas-

sengers and 2 crews must be res-cued from the middle of the sea.

The victims are currently being

treated in Klungkung hospital.Parwa said that the victim gener-ally suffered from shock afterfloating on the sea. The search andrescue team and Bali marine po-lice still trying to evacuate the vic-tims.

The urges of Balinese artist community in order that Bali Provin-cial Government facilitated the registration of copyrights of the workscreated by Balinese artists and anonymous artists that have been be-queathed from generation to generation by Balinese ancestors waspositively responded by Commission IV of Bali House of Represen-tatives, Ketut Kariyasa Adnyana.

The Member of Parliament from Buleleng together with his col-leagues in Commission IV promised to endeavor a budget in the BaliRegional Budget 2010 to finance the registration of copyrights for anumber of art works and handicraft product of Balinese artists.

“Such proposal is logical. It is the time for Bali Provincial Gov-ernment to allocate its budget for facilitating the registration of artworks created by Balinese artists,” said Kariyasa Adnyana.

In the fiscal year 2009, he said that Bali Regional Government hasallocated a budget of approximately IDR 2 billion to protect the worksmade by Balinese artists against the plundering by foreign parties.

The Woking-based outfit startedthe season in big trouble with its car,and knew that it needed to under-stand what had gone wrong if it wasnot to make the same mistakes nextyear.

Now that the MP4-24 has beenturned into a race winner, the teamis more confident about its chancesfor developing a successful succes-sor.

McLaren managing directorJonathan Neale said: “If we werestill scrabbling around at the backof the grid whilst we are goingthrough the release of the car fornext year - which will happen overthe next month - then I would bevery much more concerned than Iam now.

“We are not complacent by anymeans. We have to recognise thatour car has KERS on it which isprobably worth 0.3s, and we have avery good engine package.

“If I compare where other team’schassis are, it’s clear that while wehave a competitive package, we donot have the benchmark chassis andaero performance at the moment.

Brno - Loris Capirossi has agreed an extension tohis contract with Suzuki according to reports in the Ital-ian media.

The news means that the 36-year-old MotoGP vet-eran will remain with the team for a fourth season along-side Suzuki’s rookie signing Alvaro Bautista.

“I’ve done it because I’m still having a lot of fun,and because I’ve found a fantastic team, headed by a

that on this year’s car and going in tonext year, it’s a stretch for us.”

Neale believes that the fact theMP4-24 was turned from being theworst car in pre-season testing to thewinning machine in Hungary wasproof that its design was not funda-mentally flawed.

“It’s a testament to a huge amountof hard work, but it is also evidenceof what I said at the beginning ofthe season, which is that we hadn’tdone anything wrong with the car,we just hadn’t done enough,” ex-plained Neale.

“When you end up with a carwhere you have taken a completelywrong turn with it, i.e you’vescrewed up the stiffnesses or youhave done something to make it re-ally unstable, it is notoriously diffi-cult to get that back.

“We had just under-developedthe aero package and then in the cutand thrust of what happened be-tween week 11 and getting to thefirst European race, we turned theorganisation upside down here be-cause we knew we had to fight backand try and overhaul teams that inthemselves were pushing forwards.”

He added: “In terms of the con-

fidence for 2010, then the regulationsare different but it is evolutionaryrather than revolutionary.

“The fundamental aerodynamics ofthe package are the same. The bigchanges will be in the weight of the

car because we will have to carry thefuel that we need for the whole race.

“We are going to go back aroundthe loop on vehicle dynamics be-cause the front tyre will be chang-ing and therefore the weight distri-

bution and the forces will have tobe managed separately. But theessense of the aerodynamic fall willbe based upon existing technologyand the extension of a stable plat-form that we have.”

The Italian, who has won nine grands prix in the topclass and won the 250cc world championship in 1998, addedthat he had not ruled out racing beyond 2010 either.

“I’m certainly closer to saying ‘I quit’ than I was acouple of years ago, but nothing is decided yet,” he said.

“We’ll see, also becauseI can still beat many ri-vals while others beatme through no fault ofmine.

“Suzuki has wantedme to sign the contractmany weeks ago al-ready. I chose to waitbecause I wanted to becertain regarding theirintentions. Now I knowthey are putting a lot ofeffort in, they are givingme confidence, they’vedecided I should be theone developing the bike.

“They believe in me,and that’s what’s im-portant. This has con-vinced me to stay. I’mconvinced we’ll have acompetitive bike in2010.”
