The Wednesday morning quakewas centered on Yushu county, inthe southern part of Qinghai, nearTibet, with a population of about100,000, mostly herders and farm-ers.

The USGS recorded six tem-blors in less than three hours, allbut one registered 5.0 or higher. TheChina Earthquake Networks Cen-ter measured the largest quake’smagnitude at 7.1.

The main quake sent residentsfleeing as it toppled houses madeof mud and wood, said KarsumNyima, the Yushu county televisionstation’s deputy head of news,speaking by phone with broadcasterCCTV.

“In a flash, the houses wentdown. It was a terrible earthquake,”

he said. “In a small park, there is aBuddhist pagoda and the top of thepagoda fell off. ... Everybody is outon the streets, standing in front oftheir houses, trying to find theirfamily members.”

The death toll rose to about 400by afternoon, according to CCTV.Emergency official Pubucairen,who goes by only one name, wasquoted as saying that the number ofinjured has risen to more than10,000.

is flinched again. The consecutivecases of rape experienced by two el-ementary school students in Denpasarwithin the past month made the par-ents nervous. Moreover, perpetratorsof rape to underage children have notbeen traced until now. On respond-ing to these incidents, Governor ofBali Made Mangku Pastika remindedin order the supervision of school chil-dren could be tightened. “Supervisionis not only the responsibility of theschool itself, but also the active in-volvement of communities, especiallyfamilies,” asserted Mangku Pastika toreporters last Tuesday (Apr 13).

As a precaution to narrow themovement space for ‘mutton monger’targeting the underage children, hesaid, local governments would seekappointment of security force person-nel (security guards) for the schools.He hoped that similar initiatives werealso undertaken by schools, particu-larly schools that had no securityguard. “The existence of securityguard at school is really urgent for themoment,” he said.

Now, jurisdiction territory of South Kuta Police seemingly becomes the target of home bur-glary perpetrators. It is discernible from the current rampant house burglary action aroundJimbaran, Tanjung Benoa and Nusa Dua. Recently, two houses belonging to residents were knownto have been burglarized by criminals. Even, the total losses suffered by the victims reachedhundreds of million of rupiahs.

of jewelry pendant, 4 pieces of goldbracelets, a pair of earrings, 11 watchesof different brands, Opel glasses, alaptop, a Nokia handphone and an LGhandphone.

The victim claimed to suffer frommaterial losses reaching IDR 350 mil-lion. The case was then reported toSouth Kuta Police. “Police have per-formed investigation at the crimescene. Allegedly, the perpetrator en-tered into the house by prying the sidedoor. And the perpetrators were alsoestimated to be more than one person,”said one of the officers at DenpasarMetro Police who refused to mentionhis name.

Meanwhile, a few hours later, thehouse of victim James Mark at Taman

Mumbul, Jalan Pulasari Gang WiriaNo. 297, Nusa Dua, South Kuta, wasalso known to have been burglarizedby a thief. The victim from Australiapreviously went out. As soon as ar-rived at home, the victim found themain door of his house was damaged.“Perpetrator is suspected to have priedthe door with a hard object,” he said.

Then, victim went into the roomand immediately checked the valu-ables stored. In fact, some belongingslike a bag containing documents andmoney as much as 40 Australian dol-lars have vanished from their place.“Victim admitted to suffer from a lossworth IDR 21.9 million. So, the totalloss of both victims reached IDR371.9 million,” he added. (kmb21)

Narrowing the chance of child rapistSchool supervision should be made stricter

Pastika also emphasized that one ofthe future possibilities to respond thecondition was by the appointment ofsecurity guards.

Chairman of the Headmaster As-sociation of Indonesia (AKSI) of BaliProvince I Wayan Rika and an educa-tion observer Putu Rumawan Salainsaid that children had a right to be pro-tected, grow and develop safely. Theysaid sexual violence against childrendid not only cause physical injury, butalso psychological injury or trauma.“This psychological injury is the mostserious. We will coordinate with col-leagues and headmasters to discusswhat steps to be taken, whether it isby issuing recommendation or appeal-ing to the public considering that edu-cation is not only the responsibility ofschool, but also a collective responsi-bility,” said Rika justified byRumawan Salain.

Furthermore, Rumawan Salain ex-pected all schools to improve theiralertness to their students by deliver-ing tasks to each teacher to be respon-sible for their students since the com-ing to homecoming. In addition, theschool was also asked to increase the

number of security guard andcomplement the function of schoolsecurity with CCTV. “The equallyimportant are the parents of studentsshould equip their children to alwaysbe careful with strangers and givepractical guidance on how to protectthemselves from the attacks by otherpeople. Similarly to remember thecharacteristics of the person, the platenumber of motorcycles, cars and soon that are easy to remember,” he sug-gested.

Meanwhile, the Headmaster of BaliPublic Elementary School I WayanDarsana admitted to be sad to readabout the successive rape case againstthe elementary school students. On re-sponding to this, since the beginninghis party had obliged the parents toregister the names of person whopicked up their children. The schoolwas also required to recognize clearlythe people who were registered by theparents. If the person who picked upoutside the listed on the pretext of theorders concerned parents, the schoolshould cross check the truth to parentsand the picker up was obliged to leaveits identity at school.

Perpetrator motortheftcaptured, another flees

Well, as soon as the police receiveda report from the victim, they immedi-ately did an investigation. The officersunder control of Chief of Criminal De-tective Unit of Denpasar Metro PoliceMohammad Arif Sugiarto spread in thefield to dig up information. The hardwork of the police apparently was notin vain. Accurate information managedto obtain. “Officers received informa-tion that at the scene (Jalan GatotSubroto Tengah, in front of SE—ed)there will be a purchase-sell transactionof the motorcycle,” he said.

Police also lurked that location. Oncethe suspect handed over the stolen mo-torcycle, police took him directly. Thesuspect was confined without a fight.“Once checked, the motorcycle seemedto belong to the victim Nyoman Dauh.The victim claimed his motorcycle waslost at Jimbaran area. Apparently, thebike was stolen two hours before thesuspect was arrested,” he explained.

Based on the results of the tempo-rary examination, the suspect claimedto have acted in six scenes. This wasdone since the beginning of March2010. Places being targeted by the sus-pect namely Jimbaran and Kuta. Aftersuccessfully stealing a motorcycle, thesuspect immediately sold it at variedprices starting from IDR 1 million toIDR 1.5 million. And all evidences weresold outside Bali. “We also seized threevehicle registration documents,” headded. (kmb21)

Klungkung, now positive to rabiesSutarta immediately corrected his state-ment by replacing that Klungkung re-gion belonged to the status as rabies-threat-free category. Beginning by con-verting the discussion that from the midof January to March 2010, Klungkungrecorded 134 case of dog bite.

It has spent 4 vials of anti-rabies vac-cine (VAR) per dog-bite victim. Suchchanging of conversation topic wasconducted at the same time when an-swering the questions of a member ofthe Klungkung House KomangSuantara who questioned why the VARstock in Klungkung Hospital ran out.By accident, not long ago he drove hisson to ask for VAR after being bittenby an ape. “For the status of Klungkung,currently it is free from rabies threat,”he said.

Related to the shortage of VAR,Sutarta admitted to borrow from hispartners in Denpasar. Consideringthe budget for the procurement ofVAR was not due. He was desperateto take the endeavor even though herealized it did not comply with theprocedures. (kmb20)

No less than 600residents from toddlers to grandpar-ents of Seraya Customary Village,Bunutan, Karangasem, attended theceremony on the mountain topnestled in the eastern of MountLempuyang.

Perpetrator of ATM burglary seemingly remains to be wandering in the Denpasar City. This isevident from the existing events within the past week. There were two reports to the police deskrelated to ATM burglary. The latest victim was Ni Wayan Radin, 40, living on Jalan SekarwangiII, Kesiman, East Denpasar.

Denpasar, last Sunday (Apr 11) at 4:00pm Local Time. Victim also insertedher ATM card and tried to transact.However, victim was extremelyshocked when she knew the balancecould not be withdrawn.

Once she checked the informationof balance, in fact the remainingmoney was only IDR 50,000 whereas,previously, the balance of the victim’smoney reached IDR 2,060,000.Knowing this, the victim was confusedbecause she never felt to make any

transaction previously. Later on, thevictim rechecked it to the bank.

Having been checked, it wasknown her money was transferred tothe account belonging to other person.Feeling to be harmed, the victim re-ported the case to police station. Upto these days, police remained to in-vestigate it. “The investigation is un-der progress.

Avoid sexual crimes on childrenTeach children to say no

The impact of mental disorders inchildren who suffered from sexualabuse, according to Yuni, did not ap-pear immediately. The most rapid ef-fect could be seen within two weeks.“We can see the earliest effects appear-ing that her sleep is restless, delirious,afraid to go out and afraid to meetstrangers,” said Yuni. More than that,children who experienced sexual vio-lence cases usually would bring traumauntil puberty. For that purpose, the per-petrator should be immediately ar-rested, she expected, because it did notonly make the family feel the traumaand anxiety, but also affect the sur-rounding residents. She also appealedthe media not only to focus on the vic-tims because repeated publicationmight cause the mental condition of thevictim and the family became worse.“So, she expected the media to be morefocus on the perpetrator or the processof perpetrator search,” said Yuni.

Subsequently, what actions shouldparents take in order their children do

not become the next victim? Accord-ing to Yuni, since early stage the par-ents should teach their children aboutthe vital organs of their body, espe-cially in the triangle areas namelychest and genital. “It is easy to do.Children can be invited to take a bathtogether, a woman with her motherand the boy with his father. Therethey are given explanations about theimportance of organ and why theyshould not be held by strangers,” ex-plained Yuni.

Meanwhile, from the information,the elementary school children rapedhad confessed to feel hypnotized. Toavoid the hypnosis of the perpetrator,the child must be taught to say no tostrangers and no matter how attrac-tive the offer or conversation he gave.“Hypnosis would work if we havebeen communicating with the perpe-trator. So teach children not to heedthe stranger inviting them to talk andnot to stare at perpetrators,” explainedYuni. (kmb24)

Former judge sued 1.5 yearsAlleged to commit fraud

among them Imam Sunadhi (victim),Komang Baruna Giri, and thedefendant’s own testimony were relatedto one another.

fendant said the certificate was underprocess, and would be completed ap-proximately within two weeks. How-ever, after the time specified, the cer-tificate promised by the defendant wasnot delivered to the victim. As a result,the victim suffered from a loss worthIDR 150 million.

Against the prosecutor’s demands,the defendant immediately filed a de-fense in writing. The judges got sur-prised, when he learned the defendanthad prepared a written defense. “Howdo you know the demands of prosecu-tor and today your defense has beenready?” Daniel questioned in surprise.Responding to the question of thejudge, the defendant claimed it wasunnecessary to delay it.

The rising dissident IRA threatappears timed to undermine the lat-est progress in Northern Ireland’sCatholic-Protestant government.

On Monday, the coalition gainedresponsibility from Britain for law-and-order matters, a step that hadtaken years of negotiations. The gov-ernments of Britain, Ireland and theUnited States say the move shouldencourage the Catholic minority tosupport the police and inform on theIRA dissidents operating in theircommunities.

The IRA killed nearly 1,800people in a failed 1970-1997 cam-paign to get Northern Ireland out ofthe United Kingdom. Most IRA

members disarmed and renouncedviolence in 2005, but splinter groupscontinue to mount attacks in hopesof upsetting political cooperationwithin Northern Ireland.

For the past decade the dissi-dents’ car bombs either had beenintercepted by police or failed toexplode — until Feb. 22, when asmall car bomb exploded outside acourthouse in another border town,Newry.

Michelle Obama launchessolo agenda on Mexico tour

ner of President Barack Obama’sadministration will be in honor ofMexico, on May 19.

After the closed-door sit-downwith Zavala and a joint tour of theNational Museum of Anthropology,Mrs. Obama was to spend the restof her public time with children.She planned to visit Escuela Sietede Enero, a public elementaryschool; give a speech atUniversidad Iberoamericana to areahigh school and college students;and lead a round-table discussionwith youth leaders at La Haciendade Los Morales. Her internationalagenda appears similar to whatshe’s been doing domestically.

Since becoming first lady inJanuary 2009, Mrs. Obama hasmade it her practice to involve stu-dents in almost every undertakingat the White House. Students helpedplant her vegetable garden, profes-sional musicians have been broughtin to give students lessons, and sheand members of her staff mentoryoung women.

The first U.S. first lady of color,Mrs. Obama often says magicplayed no part in her getting to theWhite House. She now hopes totravel the world delivering “you-can-do-it”-style pep talks to helpinspire a new generation of youngpeople to become leaders and prob-lem-solvers in their communities.

The meeting between Mrs.Obama and Zavala will not be theirfirst. The first ladies met on the side-lines of international summits theirhusbands attended last year. Theyalso met quietly at the White Housein February when Zavala came toWashington to attend a conferenceon reducing the demand for drugs— a problem so serious in cities andtowns along the U.S.-Mexico bor-der that nearly 23,000 people werekilled in the violence between war-ring drug cartels in the past threeyears, according to a report by theMexican government.

The revved-up strategy comes asthe Vatican tries to stem the damagefrom weeks of revelations aboutpriests who raped and molested chil-dren — and the church officials whokept it quiet — before the pontiff’svisit to Malta this weekend. Abusevictims on that majority RomanCatholic Mediterranean island areseeking a papal audience and apology.

Vatican spokesman the Rev.Federico Lombardi declined Tuesdayto confirm whether Benedict wouldmeet with victims, but didn’t rule itout. The pope is prepared to meet withvictims, Lombardi said, but “in a cli-mate of meditation and reflection, notunder media pressures.”

Before previous foreign trips,Lombardi has declined to confirmmeetings with abuse victims until af-ter they were held.

The Vatican has been reeling forweeks since reports surfaced thatBenedict — when known as JosephRatzinger and served as archbishopin Munich from 1977-82 — approvedtherapy for a pedophile priest whowas allowed to do pastoral work. Thepriest was later convicted of molest-ing boys. Since then, hundreds ofpeople have come forward with abuseaccusations in Germany and else-where in Europe, and old cases withconnections to Rome and the popehimself have come to light in the

VATICAN CITY – The Vatican has gone into full-fledged damage control mode in the priest sexabuse scandal ahead of the pope’s first foreign trip since it erupted. Officials are promising sur-prising new initiatives. The pope’s personal secretary is speaking out. And bishops around theworld are being told to report abuse cases to the police.

United States.Initially, the Vatican responded de-

fensively, with Vatican officials andcardinals accusing the media, the Ma-sons, pro-abortion rights and pro-gaymarriage supporters for plotting attacksagainst the pope. Recently, the Vaticanhas shifted course, still complainingabout an anti-Catholic campaign butalso promising more transparency andtaking initiatives to at least give animpression that change is afoot.

Lombardi said new initiatives werebeing studied, including more papalmeetings with victims as well as a“deepening of the measures of preven-tion and response” to abuse. He de-clined to elaborate. But victims groupshave long complained that the Vaticanhas never issued any universal normsinstructing bishops on the pastoral carethey should provide for victims or pre-vention strategies to make surepedophiles aren’t admitted into thepriesthood in the first place.

On Monday during a trip to Chile,the Vatican’s No. 2 official, CardinalTarcisio Bertone, said he believed thepope would take further initiatives“which won’t fail to surprise us.” Hedeclined to elaborate.

Benedict’s personal secretary, Mon-signor Georg Gaenswein, spoke outTuesday for the first time since thescandal broke, defending the pope’sprolonged silence on the German cases

and charging that Benedict had donemore than anyone else to crack downon abuse.

“It does not make sense, nor is ithelpful, for the Holy Father to com-ment personally on each case,” he toldthe daily Bild, Germany’s highest-cir-culation newspaper. “It is overlookedtoo fast that various bishops and bish-ops conferences carry responsibility.”

The Vatican for weeks has been try-ing to argue the same — that abusivepriests were primarily the responsibil-ity of bishops, not Rome. That strat-egy has also been employed by theVatican’s lawyers in the U.S. who aretrying to shield the Holy See from law-suits alleging it was liable for the fail-ure of bishops to report abuse cases topolice.

On Monday, the Vatican posted onits Web site what it claimed is alongstanding policy requiring bishopsto report abuse to police, where civillaws require it. Such a policy has neverbefore been explicitly spelled out.

Attorney William McMurry, whohas sued the Holy See in Louisville,Kentucky, on negligence charges, saidposting the policy was nothing morethan an attempt by Rome to “deflectattention and responsibility for the pastonto the bishops.”

“If they always wanted bishops toreport, they wouldn’t need a black let-ter policy today,” McMurry said.

A local military official, ShiHuajie, told CCTV rescuers wereworking with limited equipment.

“The difficulty we face is that wedon’t have any excavators. Many ofthe people have been buried and oursoldiers are trying to pull them outwith human labor,” Shi said. “It isvery difficult to save people with ourbare hands.”

“He served as a bridge betweenHaposan and the police,” Zulkarnainsaid here on Wednesday.

Security forces used teargasand pepper bullets against dem-onstrators armed with machetes

THE death in a police raid of an Islamic extremist who ledthe beheading of three Christian schoolgirls in Indonesia fiveyears ago gave little solace to the father of victim TheresiaMorangki.

Cocoa farmer Herneus Morangki, 67, said he thought ofhis 15-year-old daughter every day as he passed her grave onthe way to his fields, and the death of killer Enal Tao couldnot ease the pain.

“Every day I have to pass by her grave on the way to work,so I’ll always remember her,” he told AFP by telephone fromhis home in Poso, Central Sulawesi province.

“My daughter was such a good child... quiet, obedient andnever any trouble. My heart still hurts today. She’s my daugh-ter, how can I ever forget?”

Police vowed to hunt down four other suspects who arestill wanted for the murders after Enal, 38, was shot dead in araid in Aceh province on Monday.

Enal led a group of men who attacked four teenage girlswith machetes as they walked to a Christian high school out-side the city of Poso, Central Sulawesi, on October 29, 2005.

The brutality of the crime shocked the world and turnedthe spotlight on the threat of Islamic extremism in Indonesia,the world’s largest Muslim-majority country.

The attackers beheaded three of the girls in a ritual-stylekilling to avenge the deaths of Muslims at the hands of Chris-tians during religious violence in the restive area.

The fourth girl escaped with a gash across her chest andalerted villagers. Police said Enal dumped one of the girl’sheads near a church as a warning to the wider Christian com-munity in Poso.

“Enal Tao’s death is good news for us. He was a very dan-gerous man and was wanted for a string of cases,” Poso dis-trict police chief Roemtaat told AFP, referring to other crimesincluding the shooting of a policeman and robbery.

Witnesses saw at least fivedemonstrators beaten severelywith batons by police as theywere being led to emergency ve-hicles.

Twenty-nine members of thesecurity forces were injured, nineof them seriously, Jakarta cityspokesman Cucu Ahmad Kurnia

told AFP.“Nine were badly injured. One

had a hand cut off and another hadhis stomach ripped out with a ma-chete,” he added.

Demonstrators were upset asthey thought the cemetery, theresting place of a Muslim holyman, was to be demolished,

Kurnia said.“But we’re only demolishing

the old buildings and gate. Infact, we will leave the gravesalone. There’s been a miscom-munication,” he added.

“We’re still negotiating withthe demonstrators to find thebest solution.”

SJ served as caseinterlocutor: police

and money laundering suspect.“They could be confronted with one

and another. Standing procedures stipu-late that if one says something aboutthe others then they should be made tomeet each other,” Zulkarnain said.

But Zulkarnaen also said that up tonow SJ had not yet been confrontedwith the three-star police general, pend-ing the results of further examinations.

Earlier, Susno Duadji has told aHouse hearing that SJ was involvedcourt mafia practices at the nationalpolice. Susno made the disclosureswhen he met with the House Commis-sion III on legal affairs and with theAnti-Mafia Task Force.

On Tuesday, SJ returned to Indone-sia from Australia after making a stop-over in Singapore for a health check.

Nine Vietnamese fishing boatscaptured in West Kalimantan waters

Control (P2SDKP) agency, saidhere Wednesday.

He said he still did not knowhow many people were on boardthe foreign fishing boats as thevessels were still on their way toPontianak port.

Bambang said illegal foreignfishing activity was particularlyhigh in three zones of Indonesia’sterritorial waters, namely theNatunas, the Arafura Sea and thesea north of North Sulawesi prov-ince because these areas were richin fish and other marine resources.

West Kalimantan waters werepart of one of the three zones to-gether with the seas aroundNatuna and Karimata islands and

the South China Sea which holdpotential fish reserves of onemillion tons per year.

According to data from theMarine and Fisheries Ministry,Indonesian marine policecaught a total of 185 foreignfishing boats that were operat-ing illegally in Indonesian wa-ters in 2007. The number roseto 242 in 2008 and dropped to180 in 2009.

With the capture of 180 ille-gal fishing boats in 2009, themarine police had prevented theloss of Rp720 billion to the stateassuming that each of the ves-sels could have inflicted a lossof Rp4 billion.

Killer’s death no solace to Indonesian schoolgirl’s father2007 and another gave himself up to policefour months ago, he said, leaving four stillat large.

“We’ll continue to search for the othersuspects,” Roemtaat said.

Theresia’s stepmother, Yulin, said hardlya day went by when the family did not thinkof her.

“She was such a good child, why did shehave to die in that manner? It happened afew years ago but we still feel the loss ofour daughter,” she said.

She said the killing of Enal was notenough.

“We want all of them arrested and broughtto justice. Only then will we feel peace,” shesaid.

Religious violence flared in CentralSulawesi in 2000 and 2001 and continuedsporadically for several years, with killingsby both sides.

Herneus and Yulin blamed a small groupof violent fanatics for Theresia’s murder, notMuslims in general.

“Despite what happened, we’re not an-gry with Muslims. We don’t blame all Mus-lims for a crime committed by a few. Weleave this case to God,” Yulin said.

Analysts believe the strife in Central Sulawesi created ahard core of Islamist fighters who have grown beyond localconcerns and linked up with others from regional groups likeJemaah Islamiyah.

Enal was one of scores of religious radicals who have beenkilled or captured since police discovered a terror trainingcamp in Aceh in February, where militants had been learning

bomb-making and military tactics.The suspected leader of the Aceh group, an Indonesian mem-

ber of Jemaah Islamiyah called Dulmatin, was killed by policein March.

He masterminded the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings whichkilled 202 people before fleeing to the southern Philippines,where he passed his bomb-making skills to other Asian mili-tants. (Agence France-Presse)

Chris John to facechallenger in Bali

Zaenal Thayeb, owner of the Sasana Mirah BoxingCamp said from Semarang on Tuesday that the place ofthe boxing match has also ready been set, there is noproblem.

“It is Kartika Plasa near Ngurah Rai airport. We havechosen the location because we also wished to promotethe tourism sector to the outside world,” he said.

He said he was still hoping to receive the pictures ofChris John’s challenger.

“I have asked Toni Priatna (Assistant Manager ofHerry’s Gym) to bring Fernando’s photos, and I am stillexpecting them,” he said.

He said the picture of Chris John’s challenger is veryimportant for the printing of invitations and other re-lated matters.

He also said that Toni Priatna’s group also plannedto send Australians to work with his team in preparingthe fight, but they have not arrived yet.

When asked about Chris John’s preparations for theupcoming fight, he said he has no idea about it becauseChris is always training at Herry’s Gym in Perth, Aus-tralia.

But he has news that Chris John and two boxers ofthe Sasana Mirah Boxing Camp will return to Indone-sia on April 16 or 17, 2010.

He said Chris John will continue with his training inBanyuwangi, East Java, until several days before thefight on May 22.

He also said that five fights will be held before themain event.

The Organization for EconomicCooperation and Developmentwarned that Africa by the end of theyear was likely to have receivedonly 11 billion dollars of a 25-bil-lion-dollar increase in aid promisedat a 2005 Group of Eight summit, apledge that was to be met in 2010.

The organization forecast thatofficial development assistancewould come to 108 billion dollarsin 2010 after 119.6 billion in 2009.

Nevertheless OECD Secre-tary General Angel Gurria hailed a0.7 percent hike in aid last year pro-vided by the 23 members of theorganization’s Development Assis-tance Committee, which he saidcame despite “fiscal challenges.”

But he cautioned: “Aid is lessthan 1.0 percent of governmentspending on average in OECDcountries while there is still mucheffort needed to meet the Millen-nium Development Goals.

“This is a vital investmentwith big returns for the world as awhole.”

WASHINGTON - US PresidentBarack Obama on Tuesday againpushed China to readjust its “underval-ued” currency but refused to give anytimeframe for Beijing to act despitepressure from American lawmakers.

Obama said he raised the pricklycurrency subject with Chinese Presi-dent Hu Jintao on the sidelines of a two-day nuclear security summit in Wash-ington but that Beijing considered it a“sovereign” issue and was “resistant”to pressure.

“I’ve been very clear the fact thatit’s my estimation that the RMB(renminbi or yuan) is undervalued andthat China’s own decision in previousyears to begin to move towards a moremarket-oriented approach is the rightone,” he told reporters at the end of thesummit.

“And I communicated that onceagain to President Hu.”

Obama said China “rightly seesthe issue of currency as a sovereign is-sue” and was “resistant to internationalpressure, when it comes to them mak-ing decisions about their currencypolicy and monetary policy.”

But the US leader remindedChina that it had to live up to its pledgeat a meeting of the Group of 20 indus-trialized and emerging economies in“making sure that currencies are track-ing roughly the market and not givingany one country an advantage over theother.”

The pledge was part of a G20 dealfor “rebalancing” the world economyto achieve sustained growth and pre-vent future financial crises, he said.

Under the deal, countries such asChina were advised to wean away fromoverdependence on exports and em-phasize on domestic consumption tofuel economic growth.

US lawmakers, facing election-year pressure, have threatened sanc-tions against Beijing, saying thatChina’s action to keep the yuan artifi-cially low against the dollar had re-

LONDON - British PrimeMinister Gordon Brown, facinga general election on May 6, ad-mitted Wednesday he gavebanks too much freedom duringhis 10 years as finance ministerbefore 2007.

Banks should have beenmore tightly regulated in theyears leading up to the globalfinancial crisis, Brown said ina television interview with Brit-ish broadcaster ITV.

Quizzed about mistakes hehad made, Brown spoke of hisregret in handling the bankingsector during his time as Chan-cellor of the Exchequer from1997 until 2007.

PARIS - Aid for developing countries from major industrialized nations is expected toshrink this year from 2009 levels and miss an overall target for such assistance, the OECDsaid Wednesday.

The UN Millennium Develop-ment Goals call for halving the pro-portion of people whose income isless than a dollar a day by 2015.

The projected 2010 overalldevelopment assistance level, 108billion dollars, is based on 2004prices, according to a baselineadopted by the G8 at the 2005 sum-mit in Gleneagles, Scotland.

The shortfall this year, accord-ing to the OECD, would be 18 bil-lion dollars against the 2005pledge, adjusted by the OECD totake account of the recent economicdownturn.

“While most countries havemaintained their commitments for2010, others, including some largedonors, have reduced or postponedthe pledges they made for 2010,”the OECD said.

France, Germany and Italy areexpected to miss their targets whilethe Netherlands, Britain, Sweden,Switzerland and the United Statesare likely to meet or surpass theirs,according to OECD estimates.

The United Nations has rec-ommended that rich countries com-mit 0.7 percent of their gross na-tional income to development aid,a target Sweden is expected to sur-pass this year with a commitmentof 1.01 percent, according to theOECD.

The United States in 2009, al-though the largest donor by volumeat 28.7 billion dollars, committedjust 0.20 percent of its gross na-tional income to development as-sistance. Only four other countries,Greece, Italy, Japan and South Ko-rea, had a weaker showing.

Total development aid fromworld’s leading industrialised na-tions last year came to 119.6 bil-lion dollars, a rise of 0.7 percent inreal terms. Excluding volatile debtrelief, the gain was 6.8 percent, theOECD said.

Five countries, Denmark,Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Nor-way and Sweden exceeded the tar-get 0.7 percent of gross nationalincome in 2009.

Britain’s Brown admits givingbanks too much freedom

“In the 1990s, the banks.They all came to us and said,‘Look, we don’t want to be regu-lated, we want to be free of regu-lation’,” he told ITV in an inter-view due to be broadcast laterWednesday.

“All the complaints I wasgetting from people was, ‘Lookyou’re regula t ing them toomuch’. And actually the truth isthat globally and nationally weshould have been regulating themmore.

“So I’ve learnt from that. Soyou don’t listen to the industrywhen they say, ‘This is good forus’. You’ve got to talk about thewhole public interest.”

Brown gave the interview inthe second week of the election

campaign in which his LabourParty is trailing opposition Con-servatives in opinion polls, al-beit by a narrower margin in thelast few months.

The Labour Party’s 2010election manifesto, which waspublished on Monday, promisedto tighten regulation of banks.

“There will be no return tothe excesses of the past —banks will face tighter regula-tion,” it said.

Quizzed about other mis-takes, Brown also cited his 2007decision to scrap the lowest, 10-pence income tax band — amove which helped spark a lo-cal election drubbing in 2008.He has previously admitted itwas a mistake.

Obama says no timeframefor China to act on yuan

sulted in a ballooning US trade deficitand a loss of American jobs.

But Hu, in talks with Obama Mon-day, delinked the yuan’s value from theUS trade deficit or the nearly 10 percentunemployment grappling the UnitedStates.

“RMB appreciation would neitherbalance Sino-US trade nor solve the un-employment problem in the UnitedStates,” Hu told Obama, according toChina’s official Xinhua news agency.

However the China News Servicequoted Hu as saying that China “is firmlycommitted to the direction of reformingthe RMB exchange rate regime. This isbased on the needs of China’s own eco-nomic development.”

Specific reforms “will be jointlyconsidered based on changes in the glo-bal economic situation and the situationwith China’s own economy. Particularly,outside pressures will not advance (thereform),” Hu said, according to the re-port. International critics say that Chinakeeps the rate of its yuan artificially lowagainst other foreign currencies to boostexports.

But China defends its exchange ratepolicy as necessary for the survival ofChinese manufacturers and to supportjobs growth.

US lawmakers are pushing the USTreasury to label Beijing a “currencymanipulator” — a move that would openthe door to sanctions by Washington.

But the Treasury announced thedelay of a report that was due in mid-April and which could have slappedChina with the “manipulator” tag, withGeithner saying there were better waysto advance US interests.

China made its currency a littleflexible in 2005 following US pressure,but when the global financial crisiserupted in 2008, it repegged the yuan toaround 6.8 yuan to the dollar.

Between 2005 and 2008, Chinahad allowed the yuan to appreciate byabout 20 percent against the dollar.Some experts however say the Chinesecurrency remains undervalued by up to40 percent.

“I was up in the attic space, andshoved away over in a corner was thefilm and a silent movie projector, aswell,” Peter Massie, a movie buff,said of his discovery in the westernNew Hampshire town of Nelson. “Ithought it was really cool.” It was thesummer of 2006, and the film canis-ters sat in his basement for a whilebefore Massie thought of contactingnearby Keene State College, wherefilm professor Larry Benaquistthought it was a rare find.

After working with the GeorgeEastman House film preservationmuseum in Rochester, N.Y., the col-lege determined that the film, di-rected by and starring Francis Ford,did not exist in film archives. In fact,it was one of eight silent films star-

TEEN pop sensation Justin Bieber is convinced he has been em-braced by the hip-hop community because he isn’t a “corny” Disneystar like his contemporaries Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. The16-year-old singer is mentored by R&B superstar Usher, and Ludacrisprovided a rap cameo on his hit track Baby. Bieber is glad hip-hop’sfinest are fans of his pop sound - and he’s adamant they are eager towork with him because he didn’t follow the same route to fame asmany other teen artists.

He tells MTV.com, “I like hop-hop a lot. I’m really glad they’vetaken a liking to me. Having Luda (Ludacris) and having Lil Waynegive me shout me out on UStream, you know - it’s cool. I think it’sbecause I didn’t go through the Disney route. I didn’t go corny, but,like, at the same time I’ve been cool and collected.”

However, there is one former Disney child star Bieber is inspired by- ex-Mouseketeer Justin Timberlake. He adds, “Well, basically I lookat people like Usher and Justin Timberlake and how they went frombeing a child star to blowing up and doing what they’re doing now. Ilook up and see what they do and see that’s what I want to do... andthings that I want to do that’s different and things that I wanna do that’sworking for them.”

In a tale celebrating the romance of movies, a contractor cleaning out an old New Hampshire barn des-tined for demolition found seven reels of nitrate film inside, including the only known copy of a 1913 silentfilm about Abraham Lincoln. “When Lincoln Paid,” a 30-minute film about the mother of a dead Unionsoldier asking Lincoln to pardon a Confederate soldier whom she had initially turned in, stars the brotherof John Ford, director of “The Grapes of Wrath,” “The Quiet Man,” and other classics.

The college, which plans an April20 film screening, received a grantfrom the National Film PreservationFoundation to restore it. It took aColorado lab a year to complete thetask. Benaquist said the images them-selves were well preserved, likelybecause they endured decades of NewEngland winters in the barn, whichalso was well sheltered by trees. Ni-

trate film, which was phased out inHollywood in the 1950s, is highlyflammable. The 35 mm film itself hadshrunk and the sprocket holes used onprojectors were shredded.

“What the laboratory had to dowas remanufacture the sprocket holesto a new dimension, make it in strips,adhere it to the image, and then runit through a printing process wherethey would print it, frame by frame,”Benaquist said. Benaquist thinks thefilm was discovered in Nelson be-cause the town is on Granite Lake,the site of many summer campsthrough the years. He said there wasa boys’ camp in the area of the barnand believes the films were shown toentertain the children, then put awayand forgotten.

Global Hawks were designed toperform high-altitude, long-endur-ance reconnaissance and intelli-gence missions for the Air Force,which has turned over to NASAthree versions built in the develop-mental process.

This month, NASA has begunputting one to work for the first timewith flights over vast areas of thePacific to demonstrate the scientificusefulness of the unmanned aircraft.“It’s never been used by a civilianagency, and it’s never been used forEarth science,” said David W.Fahey, a research physicist with theNational Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration.

Distinguished by its bulbous,whale-shaped nose, top-mountedengine and V-tail, the Global Hawkis 44 feet long and its wings span116 feet — almost the wingspan ofthe latest Boeing 737s. Able to carrymore than 1,000 pounds of scienceinstruments, a Global Hawk canoperate at altitudes up to 65,000 feetand stay aloft for 30 hours while fly-ing a distance of more than 12,600miles. This will allow GlobalHawks to sample remote regions ofthe atmosphere such as the equato-rial regions of the oceans and thearctic and Antarctic, Fahey said.“Given its range and duration, youcan be away from these locations

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Apair of spacewalking astronauts fin-ished installing a fresh storage tankoutside the International Space Sta-tion on Tuesday, but a stuck valvewas threatening to jeopardize halfof the cooling system. No soonerhad Rick Mastracchio hooked upthe fluid valves for the new ammo-nia tank on the third and finalspacewalk of shuttle Discovery’sflight, then flight controllers en-countered the valve trouble in aseparate pressurizing unit.

Flight director Ron Spencer saidthe problem needs to be resolvedas soon as possible and that space-walking repairs may be neededsometime after Discovery leavesthis weekend. The problem is ex-asperated by the fact that a periodof intense sunlight on the space sta-tion is fast approaching, and theammonia will be expanding morethan usual with the added heat. Thestuck valve is in a nitrogen tankassembly on the right side of thespace station. Nitrogen is used topressurize the ammonia, which cir-culates through large radiators.Without that capability, half of thestation’s electronics eventuallymight have to be turned off. Thecooling system on the left side —left alone on this flight — is oper-ating just fine. For now, so is theone on the right side.

“We do have a couple tricks upour sleeves” to remotely free thevalve, Spencer told reporters. Hesaid a spacewalk would be a lastresort and that it was too soon toknow when a decision might needto be made. The seldom-used valvecannot be replaced alone. The en-tire nitrogen assembly would haveto be swapped out. Fortunately, twospares already are at the space sta-tion. As engineers struggled withthe nitrogen valve, Mastracchio andClayton Anderson were dealingwith a stubborn bolt on the oldammonia tank, which had been re-moved on the previous spacewalk.

A NASA Global Hawk robotic jet sits in a hangar at Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards Air ForceBase, Calif., on April 13, 2010. The Air Force turned over to NASA three Global Hawks, which were designedfor military reconnaissance but equipped with science sensors for conducting atmospheric research overthe Pacific. The space agency will use them for unmanned, long-duration, autonomous research flights.

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – One of NASA’s newest research jets soared high over the Pa-cific Ocean Tuesday on a 24-hour mission to study Earth’s atmosphere. Its pilot remained seated in anoffice chair in a windowless room in the Mojave Desert, monitoring the autonomous flight of the GlobalHawk via an array of computer screens.

and effectively operate this platformto do the kind of sampling we’re in-terested in,” he said.

The Global Hawk is effectively ahybrid between a satellite and an air-craft, said Paul Newman, senior sci-entist in NASA’s Atmospherics,Chemistry and Dynamics Branch atGoddard Space Flight Center inGreenbelt, Md. “This plane naturallyflies in the stratosphere, so it’s a per-fect platform for ozone-depletionscience,” he said. In the fall, a Glo-bal Hawk will be tested for its abil-ity to contribute to hurricane re-search in the Atlantic. Acquisition ofthe Global Hawks marks the latestconversion of military technology tocivilian use by NASA. The spaceagency, for example, flies a con-verted high-altitude U-2 spy planethat has been redesignated ER-2, anda Predator B unmanned aircraft thathas been given the Native Americanname Ikhana. In the 1990s, NASAused two Air Force SR-71 Blackbirdspy planes for high-speed, high-al-titude research.

One of NASA’s immediate goalsis to expand the envelope of the Glo-bal Hawks, Newman said. “The mili-tary typically flies at a constant alti-tude. They turn their instruments onwhen the get to a target, and they turnthem off when they leave a target,”Newman said. Scientists, however,

want to turn on their instruments onthe ground and turn them off onlywhen the aircraft is back on theground to acquire a “vertical profileof information,” he said. Variousproblems prevent that for the timebeing. Also, for now the FederalAviation Administration allows theGlobal Hawks to operate only overoceans while the safety of unmannedaircraft in the nation’s airspace isstudied.

The Global Hawk that departedEdwards on Tuesday was expectedto fly north off the Pacific coast ofNorth America, turn west along theAleutian Islands and then south.Below the Hawaiian islands, thecraft was to turn east and fly be-low the orbital path of a cluster ofEarth-observing satellites knownas the A-Train. This was to allowactual sampling of the particles ofthe atmosphere that the satellitesmeasure remotely from space. Oneinstrument aboard the aircraft is alaser identical to one in orbit. “Sowe can prove that those satellitesare working correctly,” Newmansaid. The Global Hawk was ex-pected to return to California atabout 7 a.m. Wednesday. The firstflight in the Global Hawk Pacificcampaign occurred April 7 andlasted 14 hours. Three more flightsare planned.

In an image made from a NASA television broadcast, RickMastracchio and Clayton Anderson work in the payload bay of thespace shuttle as they prepare to load a virtually empty storage tankto take bac k to earth for a refill Tuesday April 13, 2010.

In what almost seems to be acommon occurrence on this flight,one of the four bolts on the tankwould not engage. Mastracchio andAnderson were trying to secure theboxy, 1,300-pound tank inDiscovery’s cargo bay when theproblem cropped up. It appeared tobe a misalignment, and they pulledout a pry bar to try to fix it. Thepry bar wasn’t needed, but atorque-increasing device was. Mis-sion Control told the astronauts thatthey had to drive in all four boltsall the way, one way or another.“How you guys feeling?” askedshuttle pilot James Dutton Jr.

“I’ll feel better when we get thisthing bolted in,” Mastracchio said.“No kidding,” Anderson added.When Mastracchio finally drove inthe bolt, astronaut DorothyMetcalf-Lindenburger shouted,“Now I can finally say good job,we have the ammonia tank in thepayload bay.” Earlier, she was tooquick in offering congratulations.NASA wants to return the old tankto Earth next week, in order to fillit and fly it back up this summer asa spare. The space agency is try-ing to stockpile as many big partsup there as possible. Only threeshuttle missions are left after thisone, and there will be limited roomon the much smaller Russian, Eu-ropean and Japanese cargo shipsthat will be supplying the stationuntil its projected end in 2020.

President Barack Obama willoutline his objectives for NASA’shuman spaceflight program Thurs-day during a visit to Kennedy SpaceCenter. He’s already axed hispredecessor’s effort to return astro-nauts to the moon. The ammoniaand nitrogen hoses for the new tankshould have been connected duringSunday’s spacewalk. But the astro-nauts had trouble attaching the newtank to the space station because ofa stubborn bolt, nd some chores hadto be put off. A couple other taskswere scuttled Tuesday because ofall the time spent on the latesttroublesome bolt.

It was first matchon clay this season for Jankovic whois ranked seventh in the world. “Ithink it’s a good thing I played atough match like that because itgives you confidence and you getfitter and fitter for the next rounds,”said Jankovic.

World number 127 Gallovitsstarted to fall apart in the third set.

“I feel like I pushed too muchwhen I shouldn’t have and I didn’tgo for it when I had it,” Gallovitssaid. “It was hard to find the medianin the third set.” There were two sur-prises Tuesday as No. 11 VirginieRazzano of France lost to MoniqueAdamczak 4-6, 6-0, 6-2, while 15thseeded Melinda Czink of Hungary

ROME (AFP) – Inter Milan kept their treble hopes alive with a 1-0 victory away to Fiorentinain the Italian Cup semi-final, second leg on Tuesday to reach May’s final 2-0 on aggregate. SamuelEto’o scored the only goal of the game 12 minutes into the second half to ensure Inter reachedtheir fifth Italian Cup final in six years. If AS Roma manage to hold onto their 2-0 first-leg leadover Udinese next week, it will also be the fifth final between the two sides in those last six years.

AC Milan for the Serie A title, Intercoach Jose Mourinho perhaps gavea clear indication of where his pri-orities lie by resting several starplayers.

Top scorer Diego Milito, centre-back Walter Samuel, midfield en-forcer Esteban Cambiasso andplaymaker Wesley Sneijder all foundthemselves on the bench as teenagestriker Mario Balotelli was amongstthose given a run-out. And it wasBalotelli that had the first clear cutchance of the game on 21 minutesas he dispossessed Lorenzo DeSilvestri following the right-back’spoor touch and ran in from the leftbut, under pressure, dragged his shotwide of the far post with his weakerleft foot.

Just four minutes laterFiorentina had an even better oppor-

tunity as Alberto Gilardino acrobati-cally brought down a long ball intothe box, turned and shot betweengoalkeeper Julio Cesar’s legs butcentre-back Lucio was there to clearthe ball off the line. More last-ditchdefending saved Inter again on thehalf-hour mark as Cristiano Zanetti’sclever ball into the box foundGilardino unmarked but CristianChivu came across from left-back tofling himself in front of the striker’sshot to block it.

Four minutes after the breakBalotelli showed just what a talenthe is with a rasping drive from 30yards, when he was afforded toomuch time and space to set his sights,but Sebastien Frey tipped it aroundthe post. And on 57 minutes La Violahad a mountain to climb after Eto’ofired the visitors ahead.

LONDON – Carlo Ancelotti insists there is nochance Chelsea will lose their nerve as they approachthe final furlong of the race for the Premier League title.Ancelotti’s side are within touching distance of win-ning the league for the first time since 2006 afterTuesday’s 1-0 win over Bolton left the Blues four pointsclear of second placed Manchester United with fourgames to go.

The leaders looked anxious at times as they labouredto kill off stubborn Bolton and Owen Coyle’s strugglingteam could even have snatched a shock draw if refereeLee Probert had awarded either of two strong penaltyclaims. With a trip to London rivals Tottenham next onthe agenda and another tricky away game at Liverpoolstill to come, it seems likely Chelsea will have plentymore opportunities to show their resolve before the cham-pagne corks start popping around west London.

But Ancelotti is adamant his players’ ability to grindout wins from tense encounters like the Bolton gameshows they are made of the right stuff to end United’sthree-year reign as champions. “We have more possi-bility than Manchester United and Arsenal (to win thetitle) but we are not sure,” Ancelotti said. “We have toplay four tough games. On Saturday we have a derbyagainst Tottenham. We are ready to play and we areexcited. We know we have to fight and we are ready tofight. We don’t want to look at the other teams. ThePremier League is in our hands. We have to stay fo-cused and calm and prepare for our games. We have toplay game by game and we are not interested in theresults of the other teams. There was pressure on usbecause we had to improve our position. The playershave a very good motivation to finish the season well.”

The team had made precautionaryengines changes in the season-open-ing Bahrain Grand Prix, leading tofears about its engine allocation forthe rest of the season. Ferrari said onTuesday, however, that the engineshave no issues and they will be usedagain in this weekend’s ChineseGrand Prix. And engine chief LucaMarmorini also revealed that theproblems suffered by Alonso in Ma-laysia were probably related to thefact that he had to use it differentlydue to a problem with his gearbox.

“We have carried out an in-depthstudy into what happened and the twoproblems are not related to one an-other,” Marmorini told Ferrari’swebsite. “In Sepang, Fernando’s en-gine suffered a structural failure, ofa type we had never seen during thewinter. “We believe there was a roleplayed by the unusual way in whichthe driver had to use the engine dur-ing the race, because of the gear se-lection problems he experienced rightfrom the start.

“I’m happy because I think theFerrari package is quick, even if itcould always be quicker of course,”he added. “Having said that, ourpace in the race can give cause forsatisfaction on the engine and carside, even if we still have muchwork to do on the engine front, get-ting even more out of it, workingwithin the restrictions of the cur-rent regulations.” The engine bossalso admitted it has been very hardto judge the unit’s true performanceso far given the unusual race con-ditions.

“Unfortunately, I would say thatso far, it is impossible to have aclear picture of how this side of thepackage is working, as there has notbeen a single race weekend not af-fected by the weather,” Marmorinisaid. “In wet conditions, fuel con-sumption is a bit harder to controland becomes a less important fac-tor.

QATAR-Yamaha MotoGP bossDavide Brivio has admitted that histeam needs to find more power, butis concerned that the 2010 engine userestrictions could hamper its effortsto do so.

Although Yamaha started the2010 season with a one-two in Qatarfor Valentino Rossi and JorgeLorenzo, the M1 appeared to lackstraightline performance comparedto its rivals - with Honda in particu-lar seeming to enjoy a power advan-tage. With each rider only allowedto use six engines during the 2010campaign, Brivio is concerned thatcatching up could be difficult.

“We struggle on the straights,”Brivio admitted to Gazzetta delloSport. “Let’s hope we can quicklyfind some small solution to patch thesituation.

“But because of the new rule thatforces us to use no more than sixengines for the season, finding an im-mediate solution may be a bit of aproblem. We must take into consid-eration the available units.”

Rossi’s bike stopped just after thechequered flag on Sunday night, hav-ing run out of fuel. Brivio confirmedRossi’s suspicion that this was sim-ply because excessive wheelspinduring the race had used more fuel,but said it had not been a drama andYamaha’s in-built automatic fuel

Yamaha concerned by power deficitmanagement system had not beenrequired.

“If the bike slides, you lose gripand the bike consumes more fuel,”he said.

“We have a system that calculatesfuel consumption during the race andleaves you with a sufficient amountto reach the end of the race. If it cal-culates that it’s consuming too much,it steps in by reducing the power.

“There are tracks more problem-

atic than others, and it has occurredin the past that we finished right onthe limit. It also depends on the com-bination between track and tempera-ture: when it’s cold you consumemore, less so when it’s hot.

“During the post-race meeting wehave established that the system didnot step in. The fuel was sufficient,and in fact Valentino crossed the fin-ish line with no problems. The sys-tem did not reduce the power.”
