LOS ANGELES — A paparazzo charged with recklessly pursuing Justin Bieber for photos will challenge the constitutionality of the law targeting aggressive celebrity-hounding tactics, his attorney said Friday. Attorney David S. Kestenbaum filed a motion asking a judge to declare that the 2010 California statute penalizing those who drive recklessly in pursuit of commercial photos is unconstitutional. The 17-page motion argues the law used to charge his client, Paul Raef, violates First Amendment protections for the press and is too broad. Kestenbaum filed the motion during a brief hearing that neither Raef nor Bieber attended. The photographer was charged last month with four misdemeanor counts after a July 6 high-speed pursuit on a Los Angeles freeway involving the pop singer and other paparazzi. Raef is the first person charged under the law. The motion does not address the specifics of the incident, but rather challenges the law on constitutional grounds. It contends the law is vague because state vehicle AP Photo/Alexandre Meneghini, File codes do not adequately define what would be a FILE - In this June 11, 2012 file photo, pop star Justin Bieber photo taken for commercial purposes. “First and foremost, the statute unconstitutionposes for photos prior to a press conference at a hotel in ally singles out the press for a special penalty,” the Mexico City.

motion states. A judge will hear the motion during a hearing on Sept. 24. Raef has not yet entered a plea in the case. Raef, 30, was not arrested during the chase. However, his license plate was reported to police, who investigated and presented the case to city prosecutors. They charged Raef on July 25, but when the photographer appeared for booking, Kestenbaum said police were unaware of the new law and he was not processed. Kestenbaum said he expects the case will likely end up in an appeals court, regardless of any ruling by a criminal court judge.

Neil Armstrong dies at 82

CINCINNATI — Neil Armstrong, a selfdescribed “nerdy” engineer who became a global hero when as a steely nerved U.S. pilot he made “one giant leap for mankind” with the first step on the moon. The modest man who entranced and awed people on Earth has died. He was 82. Armstrong died Saturday following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures, a statement from his family said. It didn’t say where he died. Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon July 20, 1969, capping the most daring of the 20th century’s scientific expeditions. His first words after setting foot on the surface are etched in history books and in the memories of those who heard them in a live broadcast.

“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” Armstrong said. In those first few moments on the moon, during the climax of a heated space race with the then-Soviet Union, Armstrong stopped in what he called “a tender moment” and left a patch to commemorate NASA astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts who had died in action.

A car is being towed becae park on the forbidden area

To resolve congestion in Ubud

Park stubbornly, police tow violating cars

TRAFFIC flows in Ubud region had received special attention from police department since last Saturday (Aug 25) accompanied with decisive action of the authorities. As wrongly parked, police eventually deployed a tow truck to pull the car. For instance, a wrongly parked APV was directly towed to Ubud Police station. With permission of the Gianyar Police Chief, the Ubud Police Chief, Gede Redastra, said the action of towing the car was intended to create a deterrent effect to the community so that they complied with the existing regulations. The car towed was immediately taken to Ubud Police station, while the driver or vehicle owner who parked wrongly was also subject to a ticket. So far, Bali Post noted that Ubud has been increasingly crowded by traffic flows especially the passing vehicles and those causing congestion. Again and again, the government has been attempting to find out a solution and has implemented some policies but everything is in vain and gives no results. Traffic congestion and parking violation remain to happen. Such condition occurs due to lack of parking space in Ubud. Most existing spaces are

used to build kiosks and the like that would possibly bring in benefits to the owners. However, they forget about the public space like parking lot. Some art shops do not have parking space for visitors and art shop employees, let alone for the incoming tourists. As a result, the employees sometimes park on road body and so do the employees of headman’s office. In harmony with the rapid growth of tourism and increase in tourist visit during holidays, the burden of Ubud is getting heavier. As consequence, Ubud known as a favorite destination in Bali frequently afflicted by congestion is unable to find out the solution so far. Finally, one of the high rank officials of Bali Police was stuck in traffic congestion during the Eid holidays some time ago. Dozens of officers of Gianyar Police and Ubud Police were jointly assigned to resolve the congestion in Ubud.

This time, police took decisive action. Towing truck was prepared for parking violators in Ubud. Hopefully, the policy would not be like the previous ones. To resolve congestion in Ubud was required a decisiveness and consistency in enforcing the policy itself. Maybe the action taken by police would not last momentarily. Likewise, the parking ban should later be accompanied with provision of parking solution, said one of the Ubud residents who declined his name to be published. Chief Redastra hoped the cooperation of the community in securing Ubud. Making a smooth and violation-free Ubud was inseparable from the people’s behavior. A safe, orderly and congestion-free condition would bring in positive value for the Ubud area known as a prominent tourist destination of the world. (kmb16)

Drought in Tabanan is not only complained by rice farmers. Vegetable farmers at Baturiti highland also reap its impact. Due to lack of water supply, the vegetable quality of farmers finally drops. As consequence, the price of some vegetable commodities continues to go up by degrees. Such price hike is estimated to continue until the next Galungan. The most prominent price hike happened to vegetable belonging to lotus type. It increased around IDR 4,000-10,000 per kg. Several other vegetables averagely raised IDR 500-1,000 per kg. Meanwhile, strawberry becoming the leading product of local farmers rose from IDR 24,000 to IDR 26,000 per kg. “Water supply to the estate has slightly reduced due to dry season. Therefore, the crop price begins to rise,” said Wayan Mustika, a farmer doubling as vegetable entrepreneur from Candikuning village, Baturiti, Friday (Aug 24). Although afflicted by drought, said Mustika, the price hike did not happen to all vegetables. He exemplified the price of carrot remained stable at IDR 8,000 per kg, potatoes

(IDR 6,000/kg), cabbage (IDR 2,000/kg), tomato (IDR 3,500/kg) and broccoli (IDR 12,000/kg). The most expensive price was large chili namely at IDR 17,000/kg. Due to drought, the price of local melon went up from IDR 6,000 to IDR 8,000/kg. “Drought has lasted within the past two months. It rarely rains,” said Mustika. This man predicted the price of vegetable commodity would continue to skyrocket as long as the dry season did not end. Most farmers relied on rainwater supply. To take lake water, he said, would require a pretty long line. Therefore, many plants were unable to grow normally because of shortage of water supply. “I think the price of vegetable commodity will rise to about 50 percent,” he explained. Moreover, said Mustika, ahead of Galungan, the demand for vegetables increased. According to Mustika, the drought was annual phenomenon in the dry season. So far, farmers only relied on the water supply by siphoning water from the lake or springs on the mountainside. Due to drought, the water flow came to shrink, too. (kmb20)

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. The day of course can differ the religious celebration of a temple lasts at least one full day with some temple celebrating for three days while the celebration of Besakih temple, the Mother Temple, is never less than 7 days and most of the time it lasts for 11 days, depending on the importance of the occasion. The celebration is very colorful. The shrine are dressed with pieces of cloths and sometimes with brocade, sailings, decorations of carved wood and sometimes painted with gold and Chinese coins, very beautifully arranged, are hung in the four corners of the shrine. In front of shrine are placed red, white or black umbrellas depending which Gods are worshipped in the shrines. In front of important shrine one sees, besides these umbrellas soars, tridents and other weapons, the “umbulumbul”, long flags, all these are prerogatives or attributes of Holiness. In front of the Temple gate put up “Penjor”, long bamboo poles, decorated beautifully ornaments of young coconut leaves, rice and other products of the land. Most beautiful to see are the girls in their colorful attire, carrying offerings, arrangements of all kinds fruits and colored cakes, to the Temple.

Alzheimer’s drug fails study but flashes potential

Associated Press Writer

Armstrong’s small step a giant leap for humanity

AP Photo/NASA

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — When man first harnessed fire, no one recorded it. When the Wright Brothers showed man could fly, only a handful of people witnessed it. But when Neil Armstrong took that first small step on the moon in July 1969, an entire globe watched in grainy black-andwhite from a quarter million miles away We saw it. We were part of it. He took that “giant leap for mankind” for us. Although more than half of the world’s population wasn’t alive then, it was an event that changed and expanded the globe. “It’s a human achievement that will be remembered forever,” said John Logsdon, professor emeritus of space policy at George Washington University. Those first steps were beamed to nearly every country around the world, thanks to a recently launched satellite. It was truly the first global mass media event, Logsdon said. An estimated 600 million people — 1 out of every 5 on the planet — watched. The two historical events likely to be long remembered from the 20th Century are the moon landing and

the first atomic bomb, said Smithsonian Institution space curator Roger Launius. “There is no way to overestimate that significance in human history and he is forever linked to that,” Launius said of Armstrong, who died Saturday at age 82. Just as the voyage of Christopher Columbus split historic eras 500 years ago, so will Neil Armstrong and Apollo 11, said Rice University historian Douglas Brinkley, a specialist in 20th Century history. “We may be living in the age of Armstrong,” said Brinkley, who conducted oral histories for NASA, including sessions with Armstrong. The late science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke wrote that the Apollo

11 moon landing was “one of the great divides in human history; we are sundered from it forever by the moment when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped out on to the Sea of Tranquility. Now history and fiction have become inexorably intertwined.” Since that day, there’s been a common phrase: “If we can send a man to the moon, why can’t we ... ?” with the blank filled with a task that seems far less difficult. Armstrong’s small step was that leap in confidence telling the world “if we can do this, we can do anything,” said Howard McCurdy, a professor of space and public policy at American University and author of the book “Space and the American Imagination.”

INDIANAPOLIS — An Alzheimer’s treatment from Eli Lilly and Co. failed to slow memory decline in two separate patient studies, but the drug did show some potential to help in mild cases of the mind-robbing condition that is notoriously difficult to treat. The Indianapolis drugmaker’s announcement could be a step toward a long-awaited breakthrough in the fight against the disease. But researchers not tied to the studies — and Eli Lilly itself — cautioned against overreacting to the initial results. Lilly said Friday that its treatment, solanezumab, failed to slow the rate of cognitive decline, which involves a person’s ability to remember things, in two late-stage studies of about 1,000 patients each. But when data from the trials were combined, scientists saw a statistically significant slowing of that rate in the bigger population. They also saw a statistically significant result when they examined a subgroup of patients with mild cases of Alzheimer’s disease. The studies focused on patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s cases. Lilly officials would not discuss details of the results and said that they plan to talk with regulators about the next steps for the drug, which has yet to receive Food and Drug Administration approval. Full results from the studies will be presented at two scientific conferences in October. It’s unclear how the FDA will view the results, given that the drug missed its main goals. William H Thies, chief medical and scientific officer for the Alzheimer’s Association, which was not involved in Lilly’s research, said the statistical significance of the combined results is important. “If that can be replicated, that is a major finding,” he said. “It’s the first time we’ve been able to change the course of Alzheimer’s disease or any part of Alzheimer’s disease in people.” But because the drug missed its main goals, Thies said the drug “isn’t going to the (FDA) tomorrow to be approved for sale.” If you look through “rose-colored glasses” at the results, there may be a sign of potential benefit on cognitive tests, said Dr. Ronald Petersen, director of the Mayo Clinic’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. But it is not clear whether that is enough to make a real difference clinically in how patients do, he said. The key will be details the company will present later on brain imaging and other tests, he said.

Wind Patterns Create Pollution Hotspots in Cities

Urban breezes disperse pollutants in specific patterns, rather than randomly scattering the particles, suggesting that some parts of cities become natural hotspots for contamination, new research finds. Researchers used a new mathematical model to simulate the random motion of pollutants — like exhaust particles, diesel fumes and chemical residues — as would be found in the real world, and they looked for coherent dispersal patterns. “In previous studies, the existence of these patterns in fluid flows was only verified with idealized ‘theoretical’ flows,’” researcher Wenbo Tang, of Arizona State University in Tempe, said in a statement. “It was not known if such structures were robust enough to manifest in the environment.” But Tang and his colleagues found that patterns indeed emerged from the movement of particles carried by these wind flows, according to the American Institute of Physics, which recently published the research in its journal Physics of Fluids. The researchers said their formula might be used to map which regions of a city are most susceptible to high concentrations of pollutants, which, in turn, could help policymakers decide how to deal with particularly hazardous or vulnerable areas.

To make Drama Gong popular once again

The drama gong performance was attended by Bali Vice Governor A.A Puspayoga, Denpasar Mayor I.B.

Aimless tourism development of Bali

Bali Post

DENPASAR — Bali has not had a clear master plan for tourism development so the Bali tourism development is aimless and developed carelessly and even breaks the spatial rules. “Now, there has been no clear master plan for tourism development and it still chaotic. If the zones are not regulated, the Bali tourism development will surely go uncontrollably. If there is a clear master plan, the land allotment will also be clear. If there is a green belt, it would not be broken.” said Dean of the Faculty of Tourism, I Putu Anom. Unfortunately, amidst the glamour of the aimless tourism development so far the government was unable to play its role a lot in fixing the aimless development. Even, the government seemed to allow any violations in the development of tourist accommodation annexing the green belt, breaking borderline of beach and ravine and others. Based on such condition he considered the government was defeated by investors. Even, the officials were alleged to have conspiracy with investors so that various violations passed and they could build without a permit. “In the tourism development,

there is still conspiracy of the officials with investors so that violation by investors gets away and they can build without a permit,” he said. Other conditions causing the chaotic tourism development were the non-existence of valid and accurate data, for instance, regarding the number of hotel rooms, villas and tourism workers in Bali. Furthermore, he added the tourism development in Bali was said to only pursue the quantity of tourist accommodation development as many as possible but ignored the impact on the environmental degradation and space of Bali. “Tourism development in Bali only pursues the quantity and ignores the quality so that people of Bali become the victim and turn miserable,” he said. He added the aimless tourism development triggered the increasingly severe congestion, aside from environmental damage in Bali. “What is the use of advancement in tourism but it’s crowded? After a long time, we, the people of Bali, are not comfortable and so are tourists. Finally, Bali will be abandoned,” he said. Further, he explained the concept of Bali tourism development should be clear and its focused master plan had to be designed as promptly

as possible. Development of a region should be adjusted to the tourism potential of the region and it did not require too many accommodations. Besides, the valid and accurate tourism data should be prepared as a basis for the making of master plan. “The most important is commitment of the government and officials to enforce and carry out the rules made,” he concluded. Similar opinion was delivered by Ketut Ardana, a tourism practitioner. According to him, the concept of Bali tourism development had not been clear. Bali seemed to continuously pursue the target of tourists visit and built tourist accommodation regardless of the carrying capacity of Bali. “Bali should never pursue the target of 7 million tourist visits if the capacity is only 4 million. There should be a willingness to sell destinations beyond Bali such as NTT and NTB,” he said. Furthermore, this Chairman of the Association of Indonesia Tours and Travel Agency (ASITA) of Bali said that excessive tourist accommodation would lead to oversupply and caused tight competition among the hoteliers and kindled tariff war. He cited

that four-star hotel normally sold for IDR 700,000 per room per night finally dropped to IDR 400,000. With such condition, tourist accommodation in Bali was sold cheaply and in the long run Bali would have an image as a low-priced destination. He said that Bali tourism should become a sustainable tourism without sacrificing the environment. According to him, some factors needed attention so that Bali tourism turned into sustainable tourist destination and was constantly favored by world community. Firstly, there should be an accuracy of statistical data so that data discrepancy would no longer happen between the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), tourism agency and immigration office dealing with the number of tourists. Importantly, there should be a commitment among the elites in Bali either the executive, legislative or politicians outside the people’s representatives as well as community leaders to realize the sustainable Bali tourism and make a clear direction, not for the sake of short-term goal. “Bali must be managed as one island management,” he said while adding the law enforcement should really be implemented strictly and consistently.

To handle the HIV cases either in prevention and treatment program, the government had taken several measures. “HIV/AIDS handling is implemented together by the AIDS Commission Prevention (KPA), Health Agency and Indonesian Planned Parenthood Association (PKBI),” said Suarjaya. KPA is on duty in the matter of coordination, advocacy, promotion and legislation such as by the establishment of the Student Group Caring for AIDS and Drugs (KSPAN), while the Health Agency was providing health care to patients. “At the moment, there are 25 voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) clinics in Bali which serve as a counseling clinic to motivate clients so there will be an awareness to conduct HIV blood test voluntarily,” said Suarjaya. Besides, Bali also had 6 units of Case Support and Treatment (CST) clinic functioned to provide a support and treatment for patients with HIV/AIDS. Meanwhile, the PKBI had the task to reach out and find HIV case as well as to refer them to health services. By and large, the PKBI teamed with NGOs having concerns with HIV/ AIDS. (san)

TOKYO — The strongest typhoon to approach Okinawa in several years was bearing down on the southern Japanese island on Sunday as residents were told to stay indoors and warned its strong gusts could overturn cars and cause waves of up to 12 meters (40 feet).

Seraya and Kubu residents face clean water crisis Amlapura (Bali Post)—

Residents living in mountain area of Seraya and Kubu are starting to be distraught as facing clean water crisis. One of the residents of Seraya Timur, Ni Nengah Kandri, was found looking for water in Buah River, Tinjalas hamlet, Thursday (Aug 23). The river had been dry. Kandri said she had to try hard in order to get water by dredging. However, she just got a little turbid water after making a hole and waiting for long enough. In dry season, the people living in mountainous area of Seraya usually faced clean water crisis. Similar condition happened to residents of all villages in the mountainous area of Kubu. Rainwater supply in their tanks had gradually run thin as experienced by Wayan Ngetis from Batudawa Kelod, Tulamben village, Kubu. Residents of Batudawa Kelod and Batudawa Kaja faced

clean water crisis during dry season. It was a routine condition afflicting the residents. Therefore, they should use the water efficiently as it was purchased at very expensive price. A jerry can of rainwater obtained from a tank belonging to local group was sold for IDR 1,000. Meanwhile, the water sold by tank truck containing 3,000 liters was at IDR 150,000. Even, it would be more expensive depending on the distance of service and road condition traversed. Related to the clean water crisis faced by residents on barren mountainous area, Chairman of the Karangasem House, I Gede Dana, asked the executive in charge of water supply to provide the assistance if they urgently needed in conjunction with implementation of ritual activities and celebration of the upcoming Galungan and Kuningan. On the other hand, Deputy

IBP/File

Regent of Karangasem, I Made Sukerana, admitted there were still people at certain villages or hamlets facing clean water crisis. He said when making open house in recent days some people gave suggestions and complained about water supply and infrastructure development or road improvement. He said if people needed a help, especially water supply related to ritual activities, they would be definitely helped. Meanwhile, he said the water pipeline project from Telaga Waja River would be continued in years to come. At the moment, the pipeline installation had just reached Abang village. Later on, it would be continued to Kubu subdistrict. For the time being, the residents who urgently needed clean water would be helped by supplying them with tank truck, while subdistrict had also provided water supply service by using tank truck.

Slow-moving Typhoon Bolaven was centered about 150 kilometers (93 miles) southeast of Okinawa and was expected to pass over the island Sunday evening, dumping as much as 500 millimeters (20 inches) of rain over a 24-hour period, weather officials said. The Japan Meteorological Agency said wind speeds near the center of the typhoon were about 180 kph (112 mph), with extremely strong gusts reaching 252 kilometers per hour (155 mph). Those gusts could knock over telephone poles and even overturn

cars, while waves around the island could top 12 meters (40 feet), public broadcaster NHK warned. NHK reported two injuries, including a 78-year-old man who was knocked over by winds and cut his forehead. There were no reports of major damage, but some 200 households were without electricity and some 300 people had taken shelter in public buildings, said disaster officials in Okinawa, which has a population of 1.4 million. All domestic and international flights in and out of Naha Airport,

serving the island’s capital, were cancelled. Gusts from the typhoon could equal or surpass the previous record for Naha of 265 kph (165 mph) winds in a 1956 typhoon, said Tsukasa Uezu, an official with the Okinawa Meteorological Observatory Weather Information Center. The storm’s relatively slow movement — 15 kph (9 mph) to the northwest — means “exposure to wind and rain will be that much longer,” and raises the possibility of serious damage, said Shun Miygai, an official with the Okinawa Disaster Prevention and Crisis Management Center. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued storm and storm surge warnings in Okinawa prefecture and for high waves in the waters around the island.

North Korea’s leader has warned of an “all-out” war against the South while denouncing its ongoing joint military drill with the United States, state media said Sunday. The US and South Korean militaries on Monday began a two-week exercise aimed at testing defences against the communist North, insisting it was defensive in nature but Pyongyang called it a drill for a preemptive nuclear attack. More than 30,000 US troops, including most of those based in the South plus 3,000 from overseas, are taking part in the annual joint drill known as Ulchi Freedom Guardian. North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un called the drill a grave threat and said his army was ready to deal “deadly blows” if their territory was violated during the exercise. “If the enemies fire even a single shell on our inviolable territory... the whole army should

turn out as one and lead the battle to an all-out counter-offensive,” said the leader, according to KCNA news agency. The courageous officers... are now waiting for a final order for charge for a life-and-death battle against the enemies,” Kim was quoted as saying in a speech to army officials Saturday. “There is a limit to our patience.” Kim, believed to be in his late 20s, took over the impoverished but nuclear-armed nation after his late father and longtime ruler Kim Jong-Il died last December. On the eve of the ongoing drill, the young leader visited a frontliner artillery unit that carried out a deadly 2010 bombardment of a South Korean island near the disputed western sea border. Kim praised its personnel as heroes and told them never to tolerate enemy aggression. The two Koreas have remained technically at war since their 1950-53 conflict ended in an armistice, without a subsequent peace treaty.

Denpasar (Bali Post)—

The Head of Bali Health Agency, Ketut Suarjaya, when met some time ago explained that by the number of case Bali was ranked fifth. Meanwhile, by case rate or the incidence of HIV/AIDS divided by the number of population, then Bali was ranked third after Papua and West Papua. As the finding of HIV/AIDS case in Bali was increasingly higher, it should be watched out by all parties because HIV/AIDS was not only reaching people with high risk factors such as free sex behavior and drug use by syringe, but it has also penetrated into the community whose risk factor was little affected by HIV/AIDS such as housewives and children. According to Suarjaya, heterosexual factor was still the highest risk factor for HIV/AIDS, reaching approximately 4,632 cases or 74.43 percent. Meanwhile, the risk factor of transmission to mother and children reached 190 cases since the HIV was found in Bali 25 years ago. Other risk factors were such as IDU (805), bisexuality (15), gay (247), tattoo (2) and unknown cases (350). By age group, the age range of 20-29 years was in fact the most infected by HIV virus namely 2,569 people and the range of 30-39 years amounted to 2,250 people. HIV/ AIDS was also found to infect

the pre-dawn blast showed wrecked vehicles, flattened fences and giant storage tanks buckling and crumpling as flames lit the night sky. A National Guard building in the area was shattered and officials said a 10year-old child was among the dead. A gas leak caused the explosion and many of those killed were National Guard troops who were providing security for the 645,000 barrel-per-day facility, Ramirez said, adding that the fire was under control. Officials said 18 of the soldiers were confirmed dead along with 15 civilians, while six bodies

still had to be identified. “There was a National Guard barracks near the explosion. ... The installation was too close to the operations,” Ramirez told Reuters in an exclusive telephone interview, adding that production could resume at Amuay within two days at most. “We need to boost production at other refineries and look for floating storage near the complex,” he said. The explosion follows repeated accidents and outages during the last decade across installations run by state oil company PDVSA that have limited output and crimped expansion plans.

A Sanctum to Invoke Forgiveness

Associated Press

SAN JOSE — After a year of scorched-earth litigation, a jury decided Friday that Samsung ripped off the innovative technology used by Apple to create its revolutionary iPhone and iPad. to have ripple effects in the smartphone market. After seeing Samsung’s legal defeat, other device makers relying on Android may become more reluctant to use the software and risk getting dragged into court. “Some of these device makers might end up saying, ‘We love Android, but we really don’t want to fight with Apple anymore,” said Christopher Marlett, CEO of MDB Capital Group, an investment bank specializing in intellectual property. ISI Group analyst also viewed the verdict as a blow to Android, as much as Samsung. After the verdicts were read, the jury deliberated further at the judge’s direction on two inconsistencies involving about $2.5 million in damages awarded to Apple based on products jurors found didn’t infringe Apple’s patents. The jury decided against awarding the $2.5 million. The trial came after each side filed a blizzard of legal motions and refused advisories by U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh to settle the dispute out of court. Deliberations by the jury of seven men and two women began Wednesday. Apple and Samsung combined

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economic recovery hasn’t felt much like one even for people who managed to find new jobs after being laid off. Most of them have had to settle for less pay. Only 56 percent of Americans laid off from January 2009 through December 2011 had found jobs by the start of this year, the Labor Department said Friday. More than half of them took jobs with lower pay. One-third took pay cuts of 20 percent or more.

The figures would be even lower if people who could find only part-time jobs were included in the total. The report provides an illustration of the job market’s persistent weakness well after the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009. It also documents that while the economy has added nearly 3 million jobs since the recovery began, many pay less than those that were lost. And it points to the challenge for President Barack Obama, who’s seeking re-election with

Tanah Lot tourist attraction is no longer bizarre to foreign and domestic tourists. Other than offering a magnificent sunset, the existing temples also exude a strong spiritual aura, that’s why more and more tourists coming to see them. So do not be surprised, if the tourist attraction located at Beraban village, Kediri - Tabanan or about 13 km from Tabanan town and about 20 km north of Denpasar is always flooded with tourists. There are 5 temples spreading across the tourist attraction becoming a perfect blend of nature and culture. Almost all the temples have their own uniqueness. Batu Mejan, for instance, is a temple situated about 100 meters west of Batu Bolong Temple. Hindu community in Bali knows the Batu Mejan Temple as Beji Temple. Beji is a sacred place to get holy spring for Hindu ceremony. Interestingly, local villagers have confidence that Batu Mejan Temple is sanctum to invoke forgiveness of God through holy water. Started by delivering an oblation, the procession is resumed with invoking holy water to get rid of evil natures. “We strongly believe the deity venerated in Batu Mejan Temple has bestowed us, the family and all the people of Bali with a safety,” said Wayan Sudarpa, a resident of Tabanan who was conducting a purificatory rite.

A miracle will appear in the temple area where along the coast in the south of Batu Mejan Temple can be found some springs. It is clearly seen during low tide. If lucky, at the verge of beach can be found nine springs coming out from the bottom of the sea, and the water is fresh. Hindu community believes if the springs are holy water used to purify all the impurities. Piodalan or temple anniversary in Batu Mejan coincides with the one of Pakendungan and Patok Temple falling on Saturday Kliwon Kuningan. The next anniversary will fall on September 8, 2012. At that time, the atmosphere is ascertained to be crowded as Hindu devotees from outside Bali will also come to pay homage. Other than for saying prayers, Balinese people and those from outside of Bali also come to relax and enjoy the beauty of the beach. Operations Manager of Tanah Lot tourist attraction, I Ketut Toya Adnyana, said that every ceremony held in one of the temples at Tanah Lot, it was always prepared with additional parking space in an attempt to anticipate the flood of visitors. Additionally, his party also improved the security services by involving pecalang (customary security taskforce) to help the existing security guards. (BTN/015)

Netherlands, Britain, France and Australia. Samsung won a home court ruling earlier Friday in the global patent battle against Apple. Judges in Seoul said Samsung didn’t copy the look and feel of the iPhone and ruled that Apple infringed on Sam-

sung’s wireless technology. However, the judges also said Samsung violated Apple’s technology behind the feature that causes a screen to bounce back when a user scrolls to an end image. Both sides were ordered to pay limited damages.

Samsung ordered to pay Apple $1.05 billion The jury ordered Samsung to pay Apple $1.05 billion in the latest skirmish of a global legal battle between the two tech giants. An appeal is expected. Apple Inc. filed its patent infringement lawsuit in April 2011 and engaged legions of the country’s highest-paid patent lawyers to demand $2.5 billion from its top smartphone competitor. Samsung Electronics Co. fired back with its own lawsuit seeking $399 million. The verdict, however, belonged to Apple, as the jury rejected all Samsung’s claims against Apple. Jurors also decided against some of Apple’s claims involving the two dozen Samsung devices at issue, declining to award the full $2.5 billion Apple demanded. However, the jury found that several Samsung products illegally used such Apple creations as the “bounce-back” feature when a user scrolls to an end image, and the ability to zoom text with a tap of a finger. As part of its lawsuit, Apple also demanded that Samsung pull its most popular cellphones and computer tablets from the U.S. market. A judge was expected to make that ruling at a later time.

unemployment at 8.3 percent. No president since World War II has faced re-election with unemployment above 8 percent. It was 7.8 percent when Gerald Ford lost to Jimmy Carter in 1976. Laid-off workers always have a harder time finding new jobs than do people who quit. But since the government began tracking such data in 1984, people who lost jobs in a recovery haven’t had it as hard as they did in the one that began three years ago. And the pay cuts in their new jobs usually aren’t so deep. For example, in 2003-2005, a pe-

riod that included a slow recovery, nearly 70 percent of those who were laid off found jobs. More than half who found full-time work in that time did so at equal or higher pay. About 6.1 million people with at least three years on the job were laid off in the three years ending in 2011, the government’s report said. That’s down from 6.9 million in the previous report, which covered the 2007-2009 period. But it’s still the second-highest total since 1984. Though the proportion of laidoff workers finding jobs has improved since the 2007-2009 period,

“by no means are they back to a normal level for a recovery,” said Henry Farber, an economics professor at Princeton University. Compared with most other recoveries, “this is really bad,” said Dean Baker, an economist and co-director of the Center for Economic Policy Research, a liberal think tank. Baker noted that only 15 percent of those laid off in 2009 through 2011 have found new jobs with equal or higher pay. That compares with 25 percent in the three years before the recession.

NEGARA - From year to year, the population has always raised a problem to government because the migrants to Bali continue to increase. Some of them come without being equipped with administration requirement such as the identity card or other documents. From the data obtained through Saturday (Aug 25), within a day 34,000 people came to Bali. Such a number increased compared to the same day in previous year. In a single day from morning until noon, 24 people were returned to their home of origin because they did not carry identity card or theirs had expired. Similar condition also occurred on the other days of the week after the Eid, where the trend of people to come to Bali always increased. In other words, the number of people entering Bali were getting more each year. Despite crowded incoming migrants, multiple checking was implemented to anticipate the security threats. In Post II examining papers of vehicles and luggage was assigned dozens of police officers of the Gilimanuk Marine Police and Jembrana Police, while Post III was used for checking buses where its passengers were directed to drop through the security gate guarded by Bali Police Mobile Brigade. Especially in Post III situated in the harbor area was also assigned Bali Police Mobile Commander, antiterror squad and K-9 squad. Examination of the third tier at Gilimanuk was functioned to

check identity card of the incoming residents to Bali. The backflow waves had started booming since three days after the Eid by means of motorcycle, private car or public transport. The violation from Tuesday (Aug 21) or the day after the Eid until Saturday (Aug 25) amounted to hundreds of people. Dozens of migrants were returned to their home of origin. The remaining ones were allowed to continue their journey for a number of reasons. Firstly, they had a local guarantor and were picked up, and residents wishing to go to Lombok or those from Lombok but committed a violation. Aside from violation of population administrative, a number of homecoming backflows who wanted to go to Bali, but their vehicle papers broke the rules also processed by police. Unfortunately, the one-way lane only intended for the exit of vehicles was also used by motorcycle and motorcycle taxi and carriage. As consequence, the condition then looked to be poorly organized and was getting more crowded when examination was under progress. Registered motorcycle taxi was allowed to take and drop passengers at the end of the harbor.

However, they should constantly pass through a supervision of the officers. A number of backflow migrants known to bring no identity card and to be repatriated admitted they did not bring their identity card as it was still under process. Unfortunately, they did not bring a recommenda-

tion either from their headman as the office was still closed. “I work in Denpasar. My identity card coincidentally has expired and is now under renewal process. When I was going home our headman’s office was still closed, so that we cannot renew it,” explained Yati, a resident of Jember. Other than the officials

of the Jembrana Population Agency, a number of personnel of the public order officers of Jembrana and Bali Province were also assigned at the identity card check point. Likewise, the personnel of police and Indonesian Military (TNI) were also involved in conducting the examination. (olo)

Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa said the allegations in Sweden against Julian Assange would not be crimes in nearly every other country, in an interview with The Sunday Times.

Correa: Assange allegations ‘not crimes’ in most places Agence France Presse

Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa said the allegations in Sweden against Julian Assange would not be crimes in nearly every other country, in an interview with The Sunday Times. Correa told the broadsheet that the sex crime allegations against the WikiLeaks founder were “not a crime in Latin America” and had played no part in Quito’s decision to grant Assange asylum. He also blasted the British government for its “contradictions” in wanting to extradite Assange to Sweden, when it did not extradite former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet after his 1998 arrest in London on an international arrest warrant issued by Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon -- who is now heading Assange’s legal team. “The crimes that Assange is accused of, they would not be crimes in 90 to 95 percent of the planet,” Correa told The Sunday Times. “Not to use a condom in an act between a couple, this is not a crime in Latin America.

“But I don’t want to get any more into this, this has been irrelevant to the decision taken by Ecuador. “And we’re all in agreement that Julian Assange should go to the Swedish justice system.” Assange, having exhausted all his legal options in Britain to avoid extradition to Sweden, walked into the Ecuadoran embassy on June 19 and claimed asylum. The 41-year-old Australian fears he would be passed on to the United States, which he enraged by releasing a vast cache of its confidential government files. With Assange holed up in the Ecuadoran embassy in London, Foreign Secretary William Hague pointed out to Quito an obscure 1987 law under which its police could enter the mission and extract Assange.

Prime Minister David Cameron “must be really angry with his foreign minister”, Correa said. “Because, besides the rudeness and the discourtesy, the intolerable threat this was, it was a huge diplomatic blunder.” The 34-member Organization of American States declared “solidarity and support” for Ecuador on Friday, rejecting “any attempt that might put at risk the inviolability of the premises of diplomatic missions.” Correa added: “Britain supported Augusto Pinochet unconditionally. And they let him go, they didn’t extradite him on humanitarian grounds -- whereas they want to extradite Julian Assange for not using a condom, for the love of God. “These are grave contradictions.”

At least 36 people died in a fiery collision between a methanol tanker and a double-decker sleeper bus on Sunday in China’s worst traffic accident in more than a year. Both vehicles caught fire and only three of the 39 people onboard the bus survived the motorway crash, which occurred around 2:00 am, Xinhua news agency reported. A total of 36 bodies were pulled from the debris and three people were taken to hospital. The accident was the worst in China since a fire on an overcrowded sleeper bus carrying flammable materials killed 41 passengers in central China in July last year, according to the country’s work safety watchdog. Details of Sunday’s crash -- which happened 200 metres (yards) from a motorway service station at Yanan city in northern Shaanxi province -- were still unclear. Yue Jiuxiang, a local traffic police official in charge of the rescue operation, said most of the passengers were asleep at the time of the crash. “Soon after the collision, the bus was engulfed by flames,” he told statebroadcaster China Central Television. “The front part of the bus was seriously damaged. Also most of the passengers were sleeping. This is why so many people died.” Yue said the bus was en route from Baotou in Inner Mongolia to the Shaanxi provincial capital Xian when the collision occurred. Police were investigating the cause of the accident which happened on the Baotou-Maoming Expressway, which spans the length of China from the northern city of Baotou to the southern province of Guangdong. An official at Yanan city government information department surnamed Liu told AFP: “The confirmed death toll is now 36. I don’t have any further details.” China’s roads are highly dangerous, with traffic laws and safety widely flouted, and truck drivers typically overworked. Last year more than 62,000 people died in traffic accidents, state media said, citing police figures.

Neil Armstrong ... From page 1 “It was special and memorable, but it was only instantaneous because there was work to do,” Armstrong told an Australian television interviewer this year. Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent nearly three hours walking on the lunar surface, collecting samples, conducting experiments and taking photographs. “The sights were simply magnificent, beyond any visual experience that I had ever been exposed to,” Armstrong once said. The moonwalk marked America’s victory in the Cold War space race that began Oct. 4, 1957, with the launch of the Soviet Union’s Sputnik 1, a satellite that sent shock waves around the world. An estimated 600 million people — a fifth of the world’s population — watched and listened to the moon landing, the largest audience for any single event in history. Parents huddled with their children in front of the family television, mesmerized. Farmers abandoned their nightly milking duties, and motorists pulled off the highway and checked into motels just to watch on TV. Although he had been a Navy fighter pilot, a test pilot for NASA’s forerunner and an astronaut, Armstrong never allowed himself to be caught up in the celebrity and glamour of the space program. “I am, and ever will be, a white socks, pocket protector, nerdy engineer,” he said in February 2000 in one of his rare public appearances. “And I take a substantial amount of pride in the accomplishments of my profession.”

INDONESIA Small plane with 4 on board missing Borneo Associated Press

JAKARTA — Searchers were hunting Saturday for a small plane missing on Borneo island with an Australian and three other people on board, Indonesian officials said. Two rescue helicopters were flying close to the route the Piper PA-31 Navajo aircraft was taking before it lost contact with authorities Friday morning minutes after takeoff from an airport in the city of Samarinda on Borneo, said the airport’s chief, Rajoki Aritonang. Aritonang said that satellite images showed the aircraft’s latest position on Friday afternoon was within the Kutai National Park, about 30 kilometers (18 miles) east of Bontang, a mining town, and that the plane was running critically low on fuel. Rugged, forested terrain and bad weather prevented 75 rescuers from reaching the site by foot, and no trace of the plane has been found, said Indonesian search and rescue agency spokesman Gagah Prakoso.

The plane was chartered by Elliott Geophysics International, a Perth, Australia-based company, and failed to return from a surveying mission in Bontang. It was carrying the pilot, two other Indonesians and the company’s Australian owner. They left Samarinda on Friday morning for a 90-minute flight to survey a coal mining site, Aritonang said. Air flight is the main source of transportation on Borneo, the world’s thirdlargest island. Indonesia, a sprawling archipelagic nation of nearly 240 million, has been plagued by transportation accidents in recent years, from plane and train crashes to ferry sinkings. Overcrowding, aging infrastructure and poor safety standards are often to blame.

Didik Purnomo and the two civilians are also named suspects by KPK. The move by police drew strong criticism questioning the motive and accusing police of trying to protect more generals from being dragged into the case. A law rules that other law enforcing agencies including police may not interfere in a case handled by KPK. KPK is even authorized to take over corruption cases from other law enforcing agencies. Police, however, said they would not hand over the suspects to the anti graft agency and that they would continue their own investigations. KPK said it would summon Djoko for investigation and it would not need approval from the police. KPK spokesman Johan Budi has said the anti graft agency would start questioning Djoko after the Idul Fitri holidays that fell on Monday. Johan gave no specific date.

Near toothless rat discovered in Indonesia Associated Press

JAKARTA — A unique species of neartoothless rat that lives off earthworms and doesn’t chew or gnaw has been seen in Indonesia. The shrew-like animal with a long, pointed snout was described online in this week’s British journal Biology Letters. Paucidentomys vermidax, which translates loosely to “few-toothed rat” and “worm eater,” is the only rodent out of more than 2,200 known species that does not have molars and instead has bicuspid upper incisors, it said. Two rats were found in the mountainous rain forest of southern Sulawesi Island last year on Mount Latimojong and 100 kilometers (62 miles) northwest on Mount Gandangdewata. Since it lacks cheek teeth, the rat sucks in earthworms and slices them with its incisors before spitting out the pieces and then slurping bites down whole, co-author Anang Achmadi from Indonesia’s Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense said Thursday. The researchers said the discovery is important because it shows how rodents, which are known for biting and chewing, were forced to evolve to survive in Sulawesi’s environment. “What defines rodents is their capacity to gnaw with their ever-growing incisors, which are worn down to form chisels,” said co-author Kevin Rowe, senior curator of mammals at Museum Victoria in Melbourne, Australia. “It’s a remarkable evolution that

The unique rat that lives off earthworms and doesn’t chew or gnaw is the only rodent out of more than 2,200 known species that does not have molars and instead has bicuspid upper incisors. a trait that’s been so successful (and) has allowed rodents to chew into everything from seeds to felling trees to eating our garbage and chewing their way into our house, this species has given up on that capacity in the pursuit of its lifestyle, which appears to include eating earthworms.” The new rat demonstrates the island’s unique biodiversity despite human threats from illegal logging and mining, Achmadi said.

BOGOR - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono assures Indonesians that the government is ready to face possible global recession. Yudhoyono speaking to reporters after a cabinet meeting here Friday said the government might have to take an unpopular policy to save the country`s economy from the impact of the global crisis. He asked the people for understanding if the government has to resort to an unpopular policy, but he assures Indonesians the interest of low income people will be protected. “I ask understanding from the people if the government has to take unpopular policies, but be assured whatever we would do we would continue

to give priority to the protecting the interest of low income people,” he said. He did not specify what he meant by unpopular policy. In his state of the nation address to mark the commemoration of the state independence on August 17, Yudhoyono indicated that the government would not raise the prices of oil fuels. Raising the prices of oil fuels has been seen one of the most unpopular policies always met with strong protest. Yudhoyono said the global economic condition is getting worse with the recession in Europe beginning to bite. Europe recorded a contraction of 3 percent and the US economy has not shown much improvement, he said, adding,

meanwhile China and India are slowing down. He said the prices of oil are fluctuating and tended to rise in the world market. Similarly the food prices in the world market have continued to climb to follow growing demand while production is hampered by unfavorable climate change. Yudhoyono repeated expressing concern about financial shock that hit one or two countries in Europe the impact of which would be serious on the whole financially integrated region. He said the government would work hard to improve economic management to ensure that the economy would continue to grow by more than 6 percent and to meet all targets set by the government.

Jonas Folger takes first series win in mixed weather

Jonas Folger, Aspar, Brno 2012Jonas Folger claimed his first Moto3 victory with a dominant ride in tricky conditions at Brno. Overnight rain led to a greasy, patchy surface for the start of the race, prompting some - most notably Efren Vazquez - to gamble on wets. The conditions also forced the championship’s main protagonists to be cautious, the front order hugely mixed as a result. Vazquez predictably flew in the early stages, storming into a foursecond lead within two laps, but by lap four the advantage had swung to slicks and the Laglisse Honda slipped back relentlessly as the race wore on. Folger had been the only rider to stay near Vazquez early on, and then reaped the rewards of being the most aggressive rider as conditions began to improve, often lapping two seconds faster than the rest of the field. He disappeared down the road as a result, building a lead of 12s by

the halfway mark which he maintained until the finish to claim his first series win in only his second race after replacing Alberto Moncayo at Aspar. For a while it seemed the Czech fans would be able to welcome two home riders onto the podium, as Jakub Kornfeil (Ongetta FTRHonda) and wildcard Mirsolav Popov (Mahindra MGP30) - who had started 29th - held second and third. Halfway through however Sandro Cortese (Ajo KTM) and Maverick Vinales (Avintia FTR-Honda), now

assured of dry conditions, began their charge, bring Luis Salom (RW Kalex-KTM) and Alex Rins (Monlau Suter-Honda) with them. With two laps to run the quartet finally caught Kornfeil, setting up a thrilling five-way last-lap battle. Cortese appeared to be destined for second but on the penultimate corner Salom dived down the inside to snatch second. Cortese was still able to extend his points advantage over Vinales, who finished directly behind him in fourth.

Popular Clijsters looking for fairytale ending Reuters

NEW YORK - It would be a fairytale ending to a glittering career and Kim Clijsters believes she can do it. “My goal is to try and win the U.S. Open,” the Belgian told reporters at Flushing Meadows on Saturday, two days before the opening of the year’s final grand slam tournament. “I’ve trained hard. I’m in maybe the best shape that I have been in. I’m not worried physically that I’m not ready to do it.” At the age of 29 and having announced her impending retirement several months ago, Clijsters has been on a farewell tour this year, though injuries have restricted her to six tournaments. When she made her comeback after her first retirement, in 2009, Clijsters won the U.S. Open before going on to win a third Flushing Meadows title in 2010 and the Australian Open title in 2 808530222 Clijsters will be playing in all three events in New York, including the mixed doubles with America’s Bob Bryan but is not worried about the effects on her body. “My mindset is not any different,” she said. “I haven’t played many matches or many tournaments. I really believe that physically I can do it.” A quarter-finalist at the Olympics, Clijsters said she hopes to feed off the atmosphere of a venue where she has been successful three times before. “Obviously this place is magical for me,” she said. “I have had so many beautiful memories.

Belgium’s Kim Clijsters reacts during her women’s singles quarterfinals tennis match against Russia’s Maria Sharapova at the All England Lawn Tennis Club during the London 2012 Olympic Games August 2, 2012.

“I love the surface, I love the atmosphere, and I’m excited. I’m not really thinking about retiring yet. I’m still focusing on trying to be in the best shape that I can be. “When I start Monday I want to be playing well so I’m focusing on that for now. I’ll be as ready as I can’t be and not look too far ahead. I’m focused on just trying to play my best.” Having quit once to get married and have a daughter and with plans to expand her family in the future, Clijsters said there would be no second comeback this time, not even were she to win 1952998688 Clijsters said the timing is right for her to retire. “You know in here,” she said, tapping her heart.

Abraham crowned new world super middleweight champion Agence France Presse

Germany’s Arthur Abraham is the new world WBO super middleweight champion after his unanimous win over compatriot Robert Stieglitz. Abraham, 32, who defended his IBF middleweight title 10 times between 2005 and 2009, is now the world champion at the heavier weight after the judges scored the fight 116112, 116-112, 115-113 on Saturday. “This is an emotional moment for me and it’s hard to describe how I feel,” said Abraham. “I always wanted to be the middleweight world champion and now I am the super middleweight champion too. “I trained hard for this and I had to box cleverly against such a good champion.” Having held the title for three years, Stieglitz was well beaten with heavy bruising and cuts around both eyes at the end of the punishing title bout, while Abraham was left relatively unmarked. Abraham lived up to his ‘King Arthur’ moniker and the new champion now has a record of 27 knock-outs in 35 wins and three defeats. Having laboured to a points win over Piotr Wilczewski to defend his European WBO title in March, Abraham was back to the best fighting for

the world title. Abraham started the stronger of the pair, but the champion twice pinned the challenger to the ropes in the second and started to exert his authority. Stieglitz raised the tempo in the third and Abraham fell clearly behind on points going into the fourth, but responded with some body-head combinations and one sharp hook left Stieglitz with swelling above his left eye. By the fifth, Stieglitz’s face was marking noticeably while Abraham started to let his guard drop to lure the champion as he landed some punishing shots. Stieglitz put together some good combinations in the seventh round and kept up his impressive work-rate, despite a cut above his right eye needing the attention of the ring doctor in the 10th. Abraham raised his fists to the Berlin crowd in early celebration before the start of the 12 and finished clearly ahead on points as Stieglitz, 31, suffered the third defeat of his career in his 45th fight. Germany’s WBA super-middleweight and IBF middleweight titleholder Felix Sturm, who fights next Saturday against Australia’s Daniel Geale, has said he will fight the winner of Saturday’s bout.

Obi Mikel, Odemwingie get cold shoulder from Nigeria

Van Persie and Hazard net first goals in wins

Reuters

ABUJA - Nigeria have again omitted John Obi Mikel and Peter Odemwingie from their latest team, signaling a possible halt to their immediate international careers as coach Stephen Keshi seeks to rebuild. The Englandbased pair are Nigeria’s highest profile exports but after being left out of World Cup qualifiers in June were again omitted on Saturday when Keshi named his squad for next month’s African Nations Cup qualifier against Liberia.

LONDON - The shade of the shirt may have changed but Robin hot Dutch master after marking his first Manchester United start 3-2 Premier League win over Fulham on Saturday. In-form Eden his account for Chelsea with a penalty in a 2-0 home victory over United which put the European champions top of the pile with three wins from three having played a game more than their rivals. The tricky Belgian winger, who took the 22nd-minute spot kick after a foul on Fernando Torres and with usual penalty taker Frank Lampard on the bench, then set up the Spain forward for a classy second but the day still belonged to Van Persie. Having swapped the crimson of Arsenal for the red checks of United’s new home jersey, the 24 million pound man dug the hosts out of an early hole by netting a trademark volley on 10 minutes to cancel out Damien Duff’s well-worked opener. Japan’s Shinji Kagawa also scored on his home debut, the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder tapping in after Mark Schwarzer had spilled Tom Cleverley’s shot. Right back Rafael soon had the ball in the net again but was foiled by the offside flag only to head in the third with a rare goal on 41 minutes, the rapid comeback witnessed by speed king and big United fan Usain Bolt. Fulham pulled one back in the second half through a bizarre Nemanja Vidic own goal to prompt a very nervy finish for cavalier United, who had Wayne Rooney carried off on a stretcher with a nasty wound. “He’s got a very bad gash. It looks as if he’ll be out for about four weeks,” United boss Alex Ferguson told Sky. Van Persie was a substitute for United’s opening 1-0 loss at Everton last Monday but this time it was the turn of expected strike partner

Rooney to surprisingly start on the bench just two games into the season. Everton built on Monday’s win with a 3-1 romp at Aston Villa thanks in part to another headed goal from Marouane Fellaini, although Villa goalkeeper Shay Given should have done better. South Africa’s Steven Pienaar gave the flying Liverpool side an early lead with a rocket from distance and Nikica Jelavic added to Fellaini’s second, putting pressure on new Villa boss Paul Lambert after an opening loss to West Ham United. Rampant Swansea City also made it two wins out of two after promoted West Ham gifted them two goals in a 3-0 victory to follow up their 5-0 opener against Queens Park Rangers. AWFUL BACK PASS

Michael Laudrup’s side went ahead on 20 minutes when Angel Rangel’s cross deflected in off the body of new West Ham goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen and it was 2-0 soon after when Michu slotted in after an awful James Collins back pass. Forward Danny Graham knocked in the third after the break while West Ham debutant Matt Jarvis, signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday, had their best chance with a volley. Asked if he was surprised by his new team’s success, Dane Laudrup said: “Yes of course, I mean two games, six points, clean

sheet, that’s fantastic.” QPR recovered slightly from Swansea’s mauling to draw 1-1 at Norwich, also thumped 5-0 by Fulham first up, while Sunderland’s game with promoted Reading was postponed before kickoff because of a waterlogged pitch. Promoted Southampton lost again after a 2-0 home defeat by Wigan, whose winner came from Arouna Kone, the Ivorian who is the replacement for new Chelsea winger Victor Moses. Tottenham Hotspur, beaten at Newcastle in coach Andre VillasBoas’s debut last week, were held 1-1 at home by a West Bromwich Albion side who scored a late leveller through James Morrison having been buoyed by an opening win over Liverpool.

BERLIN - Bayern Munich handed Greuther Fuerth an unhappy Bundesliga debut by beating the promoted side 3-0 in their opening match of the season on Saturday. Thomas Mueller opened the scoring for the visitors two minutes before halftime before further goals by Mario Mandzukic and Arjen Robben gave the Bavarians, who left Bastian Schweinsteiger out of the team, a comfortable win.

Two-second half goals from Dani Schahin gave promoted Fortuna Duesseldorf a 2-0 win at Augsburg as they returned to the top flight after a 15-year absence.

ROME - Champions Juventus enjoyed a 2-0 victory over Parma with banned coach Antonio Conte watching in the stands and Fiorentina came from behind to grab a last-minute win in the first matches of the Serie A season on Saturday. Second-half goals from Stephan Lichtsteiner and Andrea Pirlo were enough for Juve in a match that could have been postponed due to a downpour in the lead up. Conte lost his appeal earlier in the week against a 10-month ban for failing to report incidents of match fixing when he was coach of Serie B side Siena and Juve fans made their feelings about the punishment clear with a series of chants. Juve were awarded a penalty in the 33rd minute for a foul on an offside Lichtsteiner by Parma goalkeeper Antonio Mirante but he pushed Arturo Vidal’s spot kick aside. Mirko Vucinic missed a great chance to give Juve the lead seven minutes into the second half when he shot straight at Mirante from a tight angle instead of rolling the ball across to Claudio Marchisio, who was standing in front of an open goal. However, Lichtsteiner saved his

team mate’s blushes two minutes later when he tapped in an easy goal from signing Kwadwo Asamoah’s fizzing cross, and Juve quickly doubled their lead when Pirlo’s tame free-kick was mishandled by Mirante and judged to have crossed the line. The Parma keeper protested he had kept the ball on the line but the officials gave the goal. “It’s clear that when you concede a second goal only four minutes after the first then it’s difficult,” said Parma boss Roberto Donadoni. “I don’t talk about referees, they do well, do badly and make mistakes... As you saw with the penalty decision there can be mistakes. “It something that happened and that we can’t change,” he added. Two goals from Stevan Jovetic gave Vincenzo Montella a winning start as Fiorentina boss, as his team came from behind to beat Udinese 2-1 at the death. The Tuscan outfit dominated possession, but a 28th-minute strike from the impressive Reginaldo Maicosuel gave an Udinese side missing Antonio Di Natale an undeserved lead. Fiorentina equalised after 67 minutes when Jovetic’s deflected shot looped over the Udinese goal keeper Zeljko Brkic. Montella’s team continued to attack and got their reward when Serb Jovetic curled home a superb injury-time winner with his right foot.

Chelsea midfielder Mikel, still only 25, has been ignored by Keshi since he took over as coach last year in the wake of Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the 2012 Nations Cup finals. The 31-year-old Odemwingie, who scored for West Bromwich Albion on the opening day of the season last weekend, has also been out of favour. Both players have previously been accused of not committing wholeheartedly to the cause of the Super Eagles but Keshi, in a radio interview, said he had not shut

the door on any players. “We’ve called up players based on current form and ability to fit into our immediate plans,” he said of his selections for the final qualifying round, first leg tie in Monrovia on September 8. Captain Joseph Yobo returns after injury and former England Under-21 international Victor Moses is included. Nigeria meet Liberia over two legs to determine a place at the 2013 Nations Cup finals in South Africa. The return leg in Nigeria is to be played in October.

Santos replied before the break when Neymar curled a majestic free kick into the top-left corner from 30 metres. Just after the hour, the 20year-old Neymar, who is reported to be on the radar of some of Europe’s biggest clubs, scored again with a weakly-struck low shot from 25 metres which crept in off the foot of the post. It was not such a happy match for Santos midfielder Paulo Henrique Ganso, who was jeered by his team’s supporters following reports he wanted to leave the club. Santos climbed to ninth with 26 points from 19 games as they

completed the first half of their campaign while Palmeiras, under former Brazil and Portugal coach Scolari, have dropped to 16th in the 20-team table. Midfielder Thiago Neves scored both goals to give Fluminense, second with 42 points, a 2-1 win over third-placed Vasco da Gama in a Rio de Janeiro derby, Vasco replying with an own goal by Gum. Vasco were furious with the refereeing, complaining that Fluminense’s first goal should have been disallowed and that they should have been awarded a penalty.
