JAKARTA — An Indonesian militant accused of making the explosives used in the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people claims he opposed the nightclub attacks. Umar Patek was captured on Jan. 25 in Abbottabad, the same town in Pakistan where Osama bin Laden was killed months later. He was returned home to stand trial.
Patek said that his role in the bombings has been overplayed. Patek said he told the mastermind of the attack, Imam Samudra, it made more sense to wage holy war in Pakistan, where Muslims were under direct attack. He said the plans were already in the final stages and there was “no way” to call them off. Indonesia, a predominantly Muslim nation, has been hit by a string of terrorist attacks since 2002.

Australian boy involved in marijuana offense

Investigators of Narcotics Directorate of Bali Police are still continuing to explore the Australian underage boy with initial L Mss, 14, in alleged posVHVVLRQRIPDULMXDQD+RZHYHUWKHUHKDGEHHQQRVLJQLÂżFDQWGHYHORSPHQW related to the results of investigation. Only, family of the boy desired that the suspect could be detained in Benoa Police. The investigator did not know for sure what the purpose of such desire was. Desire of the suspect’s family was rejected by the investigators because the location requested was not appropriate. Not only in the Benoa Police, but all locations did not comply with the requirements. “We have checked all the locations. Yet, none of those meet the requirement with his status as child detainee. For a while, the suspect remained in detention room of Bali Police,â€? said Narcotics Director of Bali Police, Mulyadi, Tuesday (Oct 11). According to Mulyadi, the request of suspect’s family in order their child could be detained in Benoa Police was judged unrepresentative. Thus, the suspect would consistently be detained in the Bali Police. However, he would be provided with special treatment. For example, the suspect would be separated from adult prisoners and could be accompanied by parents. “If becoming available, we will surely move him. However, having been checked all rooms had been occupied,â€? he explained to reporters of AMMTC, Nusa Dua. Regarding the investigation against the suspect, said Mulyadi, so far his party was still in the process of investigation. However, he targeted the case RIVXVSHFWFRXOGEHTXLFNO\KDQGHGRYHUWRMXGLFLDU\RIÂżFH3UREDEO\KHFRQtinued, it could be accomplished within this week. â€?We’ve been coordinating ZLWKWKHMXGLFLDU\RIÂżFH7KHSUREOHPLVWKDWLWVKRXOG EH FRPSOHWHGZLWK documents like the examination result of correction agency (BAPAS), urine test and psychiatric test,â€? he said. Asked about the desire of Australian government in order the suspect could be returned home to his parents and rehabilitated, Mulyadi did not answer it. However, he explained if the Ambassador of Australia had come several times to headquarters of Bali Police just to know the condition of the suspect. “They respect the law in Indonesia. They came to Bali Police for making coordination and would like to know about the development of investigation against the suspect,â€? he said. NPE

If the four proposed sites accepted, the UNESCO would provide assistance if the sites or heritages turned damaged or undesirable things happened to them. “Later on, though the entire responsibility is in the world organization, the site legally remains to belong to this country,� he said. Bambang explained that there were currently only three cultural relics becoming the world heritage in Indonesia. They were
the site of Sangiran Ancient Human, Borobudur and Prambanan. According to him, to become the world heritage, to his knowledge, there were 10 requirements that should be met by the site or the proposed cultural heritage. “Some of the requirements are the site has to contain the wonders of all time and the existence of traditions preserved from ancient times until now,â€? he said. Bambang added, there should be a good management plan as well as WKHRIÂżFLDOJRYHUQLQJERG\VRWKDW it could account for and oversee the site.

cording to him, the assessor of the UNESCO was currently comparing WKHGDWDWRUHDOLW\LQWKHÂżHOGÂł$W the moment, it just needs waiting for the process of comparison of the data to reality,â€? he said. According to him, many things could be enjoyed by people at Jatiluwih after the destination was crowned as the world cultural heritage site. He cited the Angkor Wat Temple in Thailand. “Every tourist visiting the object should pay up to USD 40. Just imagine if Jatiluwih can do the same thing. Of course, it will have a great impact on the economic life of local people,â€? he said. Meanwhile, the Secretary of the Management Board of Bali Cultural Heritage, Wayan Alit Artha Wiguna, said his party did not want if only one site could be accepted as the world cultural heritage. “We do hope the four proposed sites could be accepted, not just one.

Some Myanmar political prisoners kept in jail Associated Press Writer
YANGON, Myanmar — Myanmar freed comedian and government critic Zarganar as it began releasing 6,300 convicts in a liberalizing move Wednesday, but kept several key political detainees behind bars, dampening hopes for a broader amnesty.

Myanmar prisoners walk out of Insein Prison inYangon, Myanmar Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011. Myanmar has begun releasing more then 6,300 prisoners but has held back on freeing some prominent political prisoners.
Relatives of convicts gathered expectantly at prisons around the country and held emotional reunions with those released, a day after the country’s new civilian president issued an amnesty for inmates — many of them ordinary criminals — but without disclosing any names. It was not clear how many of the country’s estimated 2,000 political detainees were included in the amnesty. Relatives of some of them confirmed their release, while others said they were told by prison officials that their loved ones were not among those to be freed. “The freedom of each individual is
%HUOXVFRQLVHHNVFRQۋGHQFH vote to save coalition Reuters
ROME - President Giorgio Napolitano expressed deep concern about the viability of Italy’s government on Wednesday as Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi scrambled to quell an internal rebellion by calling a confidence vote. Napolitano talked of “acute tensions and uncertainties” in the center-right coalition and commentators said there was a growing possibility of elections next spring, a year ahead of schedule. In an unusually blunt statement, the president asked if the Berlusconi government still had the necessary unity to pass urgent measures for the country and demanded that Berlusconi offer “a credible response” to the nation. Berlusconi planned an address to parliament either on Wednesday or Thursday before a confidence vote likely to be held the next day. Napolitano’s statement was a clear reference
to repeatedly delayed measures to boost Italy’s chronically slow economic growth, and continuing squabbles over an austerity package -- passed under pressure from the European Central Bank -- to balance the budget by 2013. Berlusconi decided to address parliament after the coalition -- racked by internal dissent -suffered a major embarrassment when it failed to pass a key budget provision on Tuesday. Berlusconi has insisted that failure to approve the balance sheet for last year’s state spending by one vote was just an “accident” caused by the absence of several coalition members from the chamber. But political analysts said some of those who did not vote including Economy Minister Giulio Tremonti, who is constantly at loggerheads with Berlusconi, stayed away intentionally to send a message about the deep malaise within the coalition. Analysts said the government was unlikely to fall immediately but its ability to take action, at a time when the economy is under huge pressure from the markets, would be constantly hampered by internal disputes-the reason for Napolitano’s concern. Yields on Italian government bonds are dangerously high considering its massive public debt, because of investors’ lack of confidence that Berlusconi’s government can take decisive action.

“We could have a government crisis at any time and even head toward early elections,” said Massimo Franco, political commentator for the respected Corriere della Sera newspaper. After the government failed to pass the measure, the opposition called for Berlusconi to resign, saying the loss meant he no longer had a viable working majority.
invaluable, but I wish that all political prisoners would be released,” said Myanmar’s most prominent pro-democracy campaigner and Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy confirmed the release of 155 political detainees, including members of the party, spokesman Nyan Win said. But others may have not yet contacted anyone. A major release of political detainees has been eagerly awaited by Myanmar’s opposition, as well as foreign governments and the U.N., as a gesture toward liberalization by the elected government after decades of harsh military
rule. A failure to release a significant number could hamper the country’s efforts to burnish its human rights record and win a lifting of Western economic and political sanctions. President Thein Sein, a retired senior army officer who took office at the head of an elected government in March, has launched a series of economic reforms and eased limits on freedom of speech by relaxing censorship and unblocking banned websites. He also has started a dialogue with Suu Kyi, made calls for peace with ethnic minority rebel groups and suspending a controversial China-backed hydropower dam project after a public outcry. One of the most prominent figures to be freed was comedian and activist Zarganar, who was serving a 35-year sentence in Myitkyina prison in northernmost Kachin State.

Zimbabwe’s Mugabe hints at WikiLeaks probe Agence France Press
Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe may probe top party officials who said that he has prostate cancer in US diplomatic cables on the whistle blower website WikiLeaks, state media said Wednesday. “The president was very clear that as a party we are looking into the matter to establish the origins and authenticity of the statements regarding what WikiLeaks revealed,” said Rugare Gumbo, spokesman for Mugabe’s ZANU-PF party. “The president said the nation has to wait until we examine the permutations of the WikiLeaks revelations,” he said in the state-run Herald newspaper. Gumbo said the party’s central committee discussed the WikiLeaks issue and that Mugabe also said some of the cables might have been exaggerated. Several leaked US cables released by WikiLeaks exposed clandestine meetings between senior ZANU-PF and government
officials and US diplomats, which discussed several issues including Mugabe’s health which are normally not openly discussed. In one of the cables, central bank chief Gideon Gono told a US ambassador that Mugabe has prostate cancer and was advised by doctors in 2008 that he had less than five years to live. In another cable, indigenisation minister Saviour Kasukuwere allegedly told former US ambassador Tom McDonald that Mugabe and his cronies should “phase out of their leadership role.” Last month ZANU PF said the revelations by WikiLeaks are “disturbing and demoralising.” Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s party, Mugabe’s partner in a tense unity government, said it would not concern itself with revelations by WikiLeaks. But last week a provincial committee of the party suspended deputy justice minister Obert Gutu for describing Tsvangirai as a “weak” leader in a discussion exposed by Wikileaks.

Balinese Temple Ceremony EVERY Temple and Shrine has a special date for it annual Ceremony, or “ Odalan “, every 210 days according to Balinese calendar, including the smaller ancestral shrine which each family possesses. Because of this practically every few days a ceremony of festival of some kind takes place in some Village in Bali. There are also times when the entire island celebrated the same Holiday, such as at Galungan, Kuningan, Nyepi day, Saraswati day, Tumpek Landep day, Pagerwesi day, Tumpek Wayang day etc. The dedication or inauguration day of a Temple is considered its birth day and celebration always takes place on the same day if the wuku or 210 day calendar is used. When new moon is used then the celebration always happens on new moon or full moon.

Bank Indonesia lowers interest rate to 6.5 percent Associated Press
JAKARTA — Indonesia’s central bank lowered its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point to 6.5 percent to offset the impact of turmoil in financial markets and a slowing global economy.
Bank Indonesia governor Darmini Nasution said Tuesday that the decision was consistent with its forecast for inflation to be under 5 percent by the end of the year. A slowdown in the global economy would hurt Indonesia’s growth but not as badly as some other Asian economies that are more export reliant such as Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia. The bank raised the rate by a quarter point in February because of higher inflation after holding it a record low of 6.5 percent for 18 months.
ASEAN agriculture, forestry moving towards 2015, beyond Antara

One is the formalisation and signing of ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve (APTERR) Agreement. “This agreement is very important in our work to respond to disaster and provide humanitarian assistance, particularly among ASEAN plus China, Japan, and Korea,” he said.
The Ministers have also supported a Special Ministerial Event to commemorate ASEAN and International Year of Forrest 2011, as well as the First AMAF-Private Sector Dialogue on Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries. “The side event on forestry leveraged the profile of the ASEAN Cooperation in Forestry, and recognised the support of various partners in achieving ASEAN key initiatives, while the dialogue with private sectors was the first to be conducted in the region. The Ministers agreed that this dialogue was very important in bridging the needs and expectations of both public and private sectors,” said Pushpanathan.

Actress, director Penny Marshall to write memoir Reuters
NEW YORK - Actress and filmmaker Penny Marshall, who transitioned from her role as tough-talking Laverne in hit TV show “Laverne and Shirley” to become a pioneering female director, is releasing a memoir about her rise in Hollywood, her agent said on Tuesday. Marshall, 68, has sold the rights to her autobiography, called “My Mother Was Nuts,” directly to Amazon.com Inc, her agent Dan Strone said. The book will discuss her former 10-year marriage to fellow director Rob Reiner, her friendships with John Belushi and Art Garfunkel, and her battle with brain and lung cancer in 2009. “People have always asked me how I got from the Bronx to Hollywood, so I thought it was time to tell how it all happened. I have had many lives (not in the Shirley MacLaine sense) and
you will hear about them all ... Just don’t expect any recipes ... I don’t cook,” Marshall said in the statement. After playing Laverne De Fazio in the hit show “Laverne and Shirley,” which was cocreated by her brother, producer and director Garry Marshall, the actress went on to direct such film hits as “Big,” “A League of Their Own,” and “Awakenings.” The memoir will discuss her humble roots growing up in the Bronx, New York, to her relationship with her brother Garry to her turn behind the camera and dealings with actors such as Robert De Niro and Tom Hanks. It will be published in print and e-book form in the fall of 2012. The decision by Marshall’s agent to sell the book to Amazon Publishing reflects the online retailer’s push to expand its operations and compete directly with other book publishers.

TORONTO — Sixteen actors dressed as zombies were injured Tuesday when they fell from a platform during filming of a new movie in the “Resident Evil” series, officials said, and rescue workers at first were startled at the seemingly catastrophic scene.

“I could see the look on the first paramedic, saying ‘Oh my God,’” Toronto emergency medical services Commander David Ralph said with a laugh. Officials said none of the injuries were considered life-threatening, but that was far from apparent when rescue workers first arrived at what appeared to be a horrific scene. The victims’ gory zombie costumes made it difficult for crews to assess the severity of the actors’ injuries, said Peter Macintyre, Toronto emergency medical services spokesman. Paramedics responded to the call from Cinespace Film Studios around
8:30 a.m., and Toronto Police Sgt. Andrew Gibson said responders quickly figured out which zombies were injured and which were just in character. “It did kind of catch us off guard when we walked in,” he said. Twelve victims were taken to a hospital. One actor suffered a cracked rib, one a broken leg and one a possible back injury, the film’s producers said. Police Constable Tony Vella said the actors had been filming a scene on a high wheeled platform. The platform moved as they were going to another platform, leaving a gap into which the zombies fell. The film’s producers, Davis Films/
Impact Pictures (RE5) Inc., Constantin Film International GmbH, issued a statement that said the accident involved They said l d bbackground k d actors. t Th id a 4-foot (1.2-meter) high platform separated from the set, creating a gap. Seven of the injured have already returned to the set, they said. “Resident Evil: Retribution” is the fifth installment of a franchise based on the popular video game series and will be distributed by Screen Gems and Sony Pictures. Lead actress Milla Jovovich was not on set at the time of the accident, according to her representative Christine Tripicchio. Vella said the incident is classified as an industrial accident. Ontario’s Ministry of Labor is investigating. “They are sending an inspector and an engineer,” said ministry spokesman William Lin, adding that about 50 workers were on the platform when it moved.

BUDAPEST - Hungarian police have seized a stockpile of weapons that was shipped to the Hungarian capital for the production of a film about zombies starring Brad Pitt, a film crew member said on Tuesday. Weapons expert Bela Gajdos, who has worked on the filming of zombie movie “World War Z” to ensure the safe handling of the weapons used, told national news agency MTI that each firearm had been converted to restrict
its use to blank ammunition. Gajdos added that the weapons were completely harmless and had already been used on a shoot in London. World War Z, a big-budget horror film directed by Marc Forster and slated for release in 2012, recently shifted filming to Hungary from Britain. “We had a police permit to bring these guns into the country,” Gajdos told MTI, adding that the production had contracted arms experts to establish whether the guns complied with Hungarian laws. But the
guns were seized before experts could inspect them. Adam Goodman, the producer of the film, was not immediately available for comment. Janos Hajdu, the chief of the Hungarian Anti-Terrorism Center on Monday said the agency seized a large stockpile of weapons, which arrived from England on a chartered plane. He could not confirm whether the weapons were intended for the World War Z shoot. The National Bureau for Investigation, which took over the case, said in an emailed
reply to Reuters questions that it was conducting an investigation for abuse of arms and ammunition, but would not release any further details. The weapons included hand guns, machine guns, highprecision sniper rifles, hand grenades and a large quantity of high-caliber ammunition, according to photos and a video released by the AntiTerrorism center. According to the video, some weapons could be re-converted to use live ammunition by removing a single screw.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida - A seven-seat space taxi backed by NASA to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station will make a high-altitude test ight next summer, ofďŹ cials said on Tuesday. Sierra Nevada Corp’s “Dream Chaserâ€? space plane, which resembles a miniature space shuttle, is one of four space taxis being developed by private industry with backing from the U.S. government. For the unmanned test flight, it will be carried into the skies by WhiteKnightTwo, the carrier aircraft for the commercial suborbital passenger ship SpaceShipTwo, backed by Virgin Galactic, a U.S. company owned by Richard Branson’s London-based Virgin Group. The test ight was added after privately held Sierra Nevada got a $25.6-million boost to its existing $80 million contract with NASA. The test ight will take place from
either Edwards Air Force Base in California’s Mojave Desert, or from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, Ed Mango, manager of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, said at a community brieďŹ ng at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. With the retirement of the space shuttles this summer, NASA is now dependent on Russia to y astronauts to the space station, at a cost of more than $50 million per person. The agency hopes to turn over
crew transportation services to one or more commercial ďŹ rms before the end of 2016, Mango said. In addition to Sierra Nevada, NASA is funding spaceship development work at Boeing Co, Space Exploration Technologies, and Blue Origin, a start-up ďŹ rm owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. “Having only one way to get crew to the station is a limitation,â€? NASA astronaut Mike Fossum, who is currently living aboard the outpost, said during an in-ight interview last week. The station, a $100 billion project of 16 nations, was ďŹ nished this year after more than a decade of construction 225 miles above the planet. The outpost, which is about the size of a ďŹ ve-bedroom house, supports a variety of scientific research and technology demonstrations.

BlackBerry services hit LQ/DWLQ$PHULFD,QGLD Associated Press Writer
LONDON — BlackBerry’s woes spread on Tuesday as the smartphone’s maker reported service disruptions for a second straight day in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and fresh problems in Latin America and India. Research in Motion Ltd., which makes BlackBerry devices, acknowledged there were ongoing problems Tuesday, hours after it said services were operating normally and the cause of delays in subscriber services a day earlier had been resolved. “Some users in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, India, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina are experiencing messaging and browsing delays,� the company said in a statement, adding that it is “working to restore normal service as quickly as possible.� Research in Motion Ltd. also apologized for “any inconvenience,� as Twitter and the Internet lit up with condemnation over a delayed response to problems some users had reported for hours. In Britain, Vodafone UK told
customers via Twitter that service was not fully restored. Rival TMobile UK blamed “a Europeanwide outage on the BlackBerry network� which it said was affecting all mobile operators. There were also reports of problems elsewhere in Europe, such as Spain. In addition, the disruptions were experienced in the Middle East and Africa. Etisalat, which operates in the United Arab Emirates, apologized for “the further interruption� to Blackberry services, “once again due to RIM problems.� And Kenya’s Safaricom Ltd. said on Twitter that its Blackberry customers were experiencing a “technical fault,� while South Africa’s Vodacom told subscribers the issues were affecting multiple networks and countries. There were no reports of any problems in the U.S. Angry smartphone users took to Twitter to vent frustration with the company and bemoaned the loss of their messaging capabilities, questioning why the company took so long to restore services.

CHICAGO — There is more evidence that taking vitamin E pills can be risky. A study that followed up on men who took high doses of the vitamin for about ďŹ ve years found they had a slightly increased risk of prostate cancer — even after they quit taking the pills. Doctors say it’s another sign that people should be careful about using vitamins and other supplements. “People tend to think of vitamins as innocuous substances, almost like chicken soup — take a little and it can’t hurt,â€? said lead author Dr. Eric Klein of the Cleveland Clinic. The study shows that is not true.
“If you have normal levels, the vitamin is probably of no beneďŹ t, and if you take too much, you can be harmed,â€? Klein said. Men randomly assigned to take a 400-unit capsule of vitamin E every day for about ďŹ ve years were 17 percent more likely to get prostate cancer than those given dummy pills. That dose, commonly found in over-thecounter supplements, is almost 20 times higher than the recommended adult amount, which is about 23 units daily. The results mean for every 1,000 men who took vitamin E, there were 11 additional cases of prostate cancer, compared with men taking dummy pills.
The study was actually launched to try to conďŹ rm less rigorous research suggesting vitamin E might protect against prostate cancer. Overall, about 160 of every 1,000 U.S. men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. Risks increase as men age. Detection can be tricky since symptoms such as frequent urination can also be caused by harmless conditions, and doctors disagree about the benefits of screening tests. Treatment is also complex since some slow-growing prostate cancers are not deadly but some procedures, including surgery, can damage sexual function and cause incontinence.

Peru hit back with two goals in 10 minutes before the hour was up from striker Claudio Pizarro and winger Jefferson Farfan before striker Humberto Suazo gave Chile a two-goal cushion with a 63rd-minute penalty after Jorge Valdivia was brought down. Valdivia said he thought Peru, who took a surprise third place at the Copa America, were overconfident after their 2-0 home win over Paraguay on Friday earned them exuberant praise from the home media. “There was a lot of talk, especially by the Peruvian press, of the ‘fantastic quartet’,� Valdivia said referring to Juan Vargas, Farfan, Pizarro and Paolo Guerrero, who scored Peru’s goals against Paraguay. “But we managed to neutralise them and take advantage of our speed on the flanks. I think that was the difference in the match,� he told reporters. Peru’s Uruguayan coach Sergio Markarian said: “A goal so early complicates everything because it boosts your rivals.�

Vitali said after the fight he wanted to finish what his brother didn’t do, meaning knock out David Haye.� Haye, whose trash-talking before the July fight angered both Klitschkos, blamed the defeat on a broken toe and had suggested he would be prepared to postpone retirement if the Ukrainian agreed to a swift rematch. That defeat was Haye’s first in seven years and left his record at 25-2. Before joining the heavyweight division, Haye was the unified cruiserweight champion. Haye’s representatives were not immediately available for comment but local media reported the Briton was planning a news conference for Thursday. The Klitschkos hold all the major championship belts in the division. The brothers have said they would not fight each other.

McLaren to ‘take care of’ Lewis Hamilton McLaren managing director Jonathan Neale says Lewis Hamilton should have no doubts whatsoever about the level of support for and understanding of him within his team, despite the 2008 champion’s current run of difficulties. Hamilton has not finished on the podium since winning the German Grand Prix in July, and has been involved in a series of on-track incidents during that time - while his team-mate Jenson Button has taken two wins and pulled away in second place in the championship. But Neale said McLaren was giving Hamilton maximum support rather than putting pressure on him to rediscover his form. “Lewis’s biggest critic is himself,” said Neale in a Vodafone McLaren Mercedes phone-in teleconference. “He desperately wants to win and he’s understandably not happy when either his teammate beats him, or somebody else is winning the race or the championship. He’s seen this championship slide away to Red Bull. He’s tough on himself and he’s massively disappointed. We’d be disappointed if he
didn’t feel that as well. “Lewis is a phenomenal driver. He’s had 16 race wins. He’s constantly exciting on the circuit, always in the action and we love him for that. “Certainly I’m concerned to make sure that he feels and understands that we’re 100 per cent behind him, and this team certainly is. The workforce here love everything about Lewis Hamilton. “We want to take care of him. It’s been a difficult season for him. We didn’t really give him the car to get the job done this year, but what he’s done with it has been fantastic.” Neale said the factory staff at McLaren were keen to have a chance to emphasise their continued belief in Hamilton. “The sense of the workforce is that they’d like to see more of Lewis,” he said. “With the flyaways recently we haven’t been able to get him back as much as they’d like. They’re very keen to
make sure that he understands and feels the warmth and the love from this end.” He also warned against reading too much into short-term form and the press criticism Hamilton has received recently. “You do have to remember that professional sport - as the England rugby team will be feeling when they read the papers - is a brutal business,” Neale said. “One of the journalists there wrote that it’s a sport where the winners are deified and the losers are vilified. “We can all turn round and say ‘where’s Lewis?’ but the reality is that he’s a really quick driver. He’s a really nice guy and he puts his heart and everything into it.” Hamilton only finished fifth in last weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix, while Button won the race. Neale believes McLaren hampered Hamilton by misinterpreting data that led to him making an early first pitstop on lap eight. “We have to look to ourselves in the team as to why he wasn’t able to get the performance out of the rear tyres that Jenson was able to get,” said Neale.

Rossi’s enthusiasm stemmed from his performances prior to the race, notably in qualifying when he was in contention for the second row of the grid until the final seconds.

That hinted at genuine gains for Ducati, who will carry the set-up changes from Japan into this weekend’s race at Philipp Island - a circuit Ducati has finished on the podium in every year except one.”At Motegi, despite the outcome of the race and what the consequences of the crash turned out to be, there were a number of positive aspects,” Rossi, who also has to contend with a finger injury sustained at Japan, said. “We worked well on the bike’s balance and setup, and in the end, from that point of view, we had one of the most positive weekends of the season. “Phillip
Island is another track where the Ducati has always gone well, as have I, so we hope to be able to work as well as we did in Japan. “As far as my hand is concerned, the swelling is reduced, and we still have a couple of days before we go on the track. We just have to wait for Friday morning to see how it reacts.” Team-mate Nicky Hayden, who holds the circuit record at Phillip Island, said he was also eyeing a strong race performance at a circuit on which he has fared well in the past. “Phillip Island is definitely one of the highlights of the year, because everything about it is special,” Hayden explained. “It’s fast, flowing and really fun to ride. “Casey [Stoner] has won a lot of races there for Ducati, and I should have been on the podium there last year, except that I left the door open for Vale to beat me. “It’s a good track for me, and although I know it won’t be easy, I really hope we can do well. I’ve got Simoncelli coming for me in the points, but I’m not really thinking about that. I’d just like to try to get a good result on Sunday, when it counts.”
