JAKARTA - Indonesian activ-ists on Thursday welcomed an international court’s finding that the Dutch state was responsible for a massacre in Indonesia in 1947 and that victims’ families should be compensated.

The Commission for Disap-pearances and Victims of Violence (Kontras) said the decision shows that there is no statute of limita-

tions on human rights cases.“This happened more than 60

years ago. It will send a message to our government that they should take responsibility for their own abuses in Indonesia,” Kontras deputy coordi-nator Haris Azhar told AFP.

Eight widows and one survivor from the town of Rawagede, east of Jakarta, took the Netherlands to court in 2008 to claim compensa-tion for the execution of more than 400 men and boys on December

9, 1947, by colonial troops during Indonesia’s war of independence.

An eighth widow died before the court papers were lodged.

A three-judge bench at The Hague civil court ruled Wednes-day that seven of the eight widows claiming compensation should receive it, while the family of a survivor of the massacre should also be compensated. The survi-vor, named as Saih Bin Sakam, died at age 88 in May.

The Netherlands has in the past admitted that the execution did indeed take place, but argued that no claim could be lodged because of an expiry in the statute of limita-tions in Dutch law of five years, the court heard. The Dutch government in 2009 decided to donate 850,000 euros ($1.15 million) to the area, but has avoided using the term “com-pensation”, Dutch daily newspaper De Volkskrant reported.

A legislator of Badung House, I Wayan Puspa Negara, stated on Wednesday (Sep 14) that to realize the programs should be accompa-nied with a spectacular movement, too. It could not be attained by standard or ordinary measures.

“We need more movement. To realize a clean or cleaner Bali, one of the actions that can be taken is to change the behavior of society against the plastic waste. Changing behavior is far more effective and

gives a long-term benefit,” he said.Realizing the green Bali, in real-

ity, did not only relate to planting trees as many as possible, but also to maintenance of the existing ones. Currently, said Puspa, Bali or chiefly Badung, required a lot of green open spaces. Protection against the green open spaces, especially in urban areas should be given priority, more-over, in the midst of the increased opening of residential area.

“According to Law No.

26/2007, a quota of 30 percent for green area has not been prop-erly fulfilled. We’ll see that green land conversion into building has become a major obstacle. It hap-pens considering the tendency of land use is not comparable to the planting of trees,” he said.

How did the implementation of Bali Clean and Green program work in Badung? The Head of Badung Sanitation and Landscap-ing Services (DKP), I Putu Eka Merthawan, revealed that Badung Regency indeed had referred to the program. However, Badung actually had its own concept and program denoting a directive of Badung Regent AA Gde Agung. It was known as the Badung Clean, Green and Flowering.

The program referring to the Badung Clean, Green and Flower-ing was purely the directive of Ba-dung Regent interpreted through relevant agencies, especially the Badung Sanitation and Landscap-ing Services. The reference was clear. Even, in 2012, it had been set in order the appearance of Ba-dung had changed in accordance with the concept mentioned.

For the matter of sanitation, the Badung Regency provided a long-term directive, where Badung should have been free from plastic waste in 2014. A total fund of IDR 100 mil-lion would be allocated this year for Gelatik or Anti-Plastic Waste Move-ment. More funds would be allocated in the following year.

The increase seemed sharp this year especially for Denpasar. Sweeping has been done by the government by holding programs in disciplining those who does not have any identity as non resident, if not they would be asked to get on im-mediately. Non resident Saleh admitted to have come here for work as a labour worker yet not knowing where yet. “I was asked by my family who lives here in Bali. one of them work as a labour at one place yet I don’t know where I would

Meanwhile to anticipate unwanted situations, police have raided sev-eral sensitive points such as Panjer, South Denpasar, in Banjar Kaja and Banjar Kangin, then Sanur at Pasek Kuta, South Denpasar. With dozens of personnel working, at least 282 non residents were caught without identity. More sensitive places will be approached for sweeping. (jay)

Apparently, there is no real solution given by rel-evant agencies,” said Secretary of Commission A of Badung House, I Made Duama, in the Badung Parliament Hall on Wednesday (Sep 14).

Even, more surprisingly, said this politician from Ungasan, lo-cal residents paid a very costly water bill whereas the water supply obviously had a prob-lem. Such complaint was often heard and at issue among the community who claimed unsat-

This kind of case needs a serious act to be taken by all sides, school, parents and the public,” Head of Elementary Education Sec-tion for Denpasar Youth, Education and Sports Agency, I Made Raka, SE, MSi, Ak, last Wednesday (14/9) exclaimed.

For this not to repeat, all sides have to tell the kids that this kind of act is not right according to religion and

against law. “The responsibility to less crime act was everyone’s job to

area security,” Raka continued. To strengthen the kids’ faith, reli-

gion education, manners and character building has to be better. Parents at home, school and the public have to always supervise them intensively in making sure they don’t go to the wrong friends. Bali Parisada Head also Dean of Dharma Duta Faculty for National Institute of Hindu Dharma, Dr. IGN Sudiana, agreed of what Raka have stated moreover kids that age are easily persuaded and who’s weak on its faith and mental can be easily told to do anything including crime acts.

Not managed professionally

Irregular water stream becomes a classical problem in South Kuta Mangupura (Bali Post)—

Irregular clean water service in SD Negeri 2 Benoa, at Sawangan Hamlet, Benoa Village, South Kuta Subdistrict, is only one of the many existing problems. Even, information told that 40 percent of residents in South Kuta experienced the same problem, including not receiving the Municipality Waterworks (PDAM Badung) service through PT Tirtaarta Buanamulia.

runs irregularly, why should we pay so much? Probably, the water meter is not accurate,” he criticized.

Duama claimed not to under-stand about the main problem of the clean water services in South Kuta, whether it was related to water supply or technical prob-lems. Even, if it concerned with technical issues like damaged installation, Duama casually mentioned it was a classical grounds.

Similar comment was also expressed by a legislator of Ba-dung House from South Kuta, I Nyoman Karyana. Karyana mentioned the problem of clean water supply by PT TB was protracted. Various reasons pre-sented, according to Karyana, were irrelevant. He precisely as-

sessed, the problem essentially indicated if the water supply management in South Kuta was not handled professionally.

“The problem has taken place for a long time. No matter what the reason is, ultimately it concerns with the problem of professionalism. Services to the community should be managed professionally because people pay for the services. It’s okay to have a problem, but it may not go on protractedly,” said this Golkar Party politician.

He also added that priority of clean water services in South Kuta should reach the plateau since local people were hard to get water. Moreover, the area, especially the Sawangan area now highlighted, was a tourism resort. (kmb25)

The visit is a victory lap for Nicolas Sarkozy and David Cameron, who defied doubters at home to lead a NATO bombing campaign that succeeded in ushering in a victory by forces who swept away Gad-dafi’s 42-year rule last month.

With security tight, spokesmen in Paris and London said the two had arrived in Trip-oli. Cameron’s office said they would meet Libyan leaders before a news conference at 12:45 p.m. (1045 GMT). The two men were expected to fly on to Benghazi later.

Both are popular on the streets of Libya, where “Merci Sarkozy” and “Thank you Britain” are common graffiti slogans. Both may hope to earn political dividends back home from what now appears to have been a successful bet. But on the eve of their visit, the leader of Libya’s National Transitional Coun-cil said heavy battles lie ahead against Gaddafi loyalists who have refused to surrender.

NTC Vice Chairman Abdel Hafiz Ghoga told Reuters the two leaders would visit both Tripoli and Benghazi, where the NTC rulers are still based even though Gaddafi opponents seized the capital more than three weeks ago.

Western countries and neighbors are anxious to welcome Libya into the inter-national community, not least so it can restart lucrative oil production frozen by six months of war.

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan

is expected in Libya on Friday. Egypt’s for-eign minister, Mohammed Kamel Amr, is also due to visit. A U.S. assistant secretary of state visited on Wednesday.

Libya’s new leaders say the international community has been slow to release frozen assets; diplomats said on Wednesday Britain had circulated a draft resolution to the United Nations Security Council to ease sanctions against Libya’s National Oil Corp (NOC) and central bank, and hoped for a vote this week.

Cameron’s office said in a statement: “He is expected to announce a further package of UK assistance to support the Libyan-led process of transition to a free, democratic and inclusive Libya.”

NOC chairman Nouri Berouin told Reu-ters Libya would start exporting crude oil from the eastern port of Tobruk within 10 days and could produce 1 million barrels a day within six months.

But the failure to capture Gaddafi, and on-going fighting in and around besieged towns still firmly held by the ousted leader’s support-ers, are proof that a peaceful and prosperous future for Libya is far from assured.

The European Union on Wednesday demanded an end to arbitrary killings and detentions by both sides, and especially to vigilante attacks on sub-Saharan Africans and black Libyans, who are widely accused of having fought for Gaddafi.

KANSAS CITY, Mo - The death toll in the May 22 tornado that tore through Joplin, Missouri, has reached 162 people and is likely to rise further, a county coroner said on Wednesday. Dorothy Johnston, 91, died on Sunday from a brain injury and Ronnie Holloway, 68, died on August 15 from an injured spine, Jasper County Coroner Rob Chappel said.

Chappel said there is sometimes

a lapse in deaths of tornado victims being reported to him as the coroner for Jasper County, which includes the city of Joplin. There are likely other people with serious tornado injuries who have died or may yet die, he said.

“I would be shocked if we are finished with this,” Chappel said. The tornado, one of the deadliest in U.S. history, swept through central Joplin late on a Sunday afternoon, destroying some 9,000 homes and businesses.

Children receive food in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu, on Sep-tember 5. Somalia’s prime minister on Wednesday pleaded with the UN Security Council to send more peacekeepers to help his beleaguered government fight Islamist militants

Mogadishu, where hundreds of thousands of people have sought refuge from a devastating drought that has already killed tens of thousands.

About 9,000 troops from Burun-di and Uganda make up an African Union force that protects the tran-sitional government against Shebab insurgents, who recently abandoned positions in Mogadishu.

Under its UN mandate the force can be up to 12,000 troops and

the African Union has stepped up calls for the extra soldiers to be found and for the mandate to allow up to 20,000 troops in Somalia.

The extra 3,000 troops are “urgently needed to prevent a security vacuum in the ar-eas of Mogadishu vacated by Shebab,” the prime minister told a Security Council debate on Somalia.

A similar message was given by UN envoy to Somalia, Augus-tine Mahiga, who warned that Somali warlords are ready to take over areas left by Shebab.

“The extremists are likely to resort to terrorist tactics in Mogadishu and elsewhere,” he said. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called for a special guard force to be deployed in Mogadishu to protect UN offi-cials and civilian workers for the international force.

South Africa’s UN envoy, Baso Sangqu, highlighted African Union demands for greater UN support for the military force “to prevent any reversal of the secu-rity gains.”

The weak transitional govern-ment has been given another 12 months, until August 2012, to meet targets for establishing an administration and setting up national political talks.

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 “umbul-umbul”, long flags, all these are prerogatives or attributes of Holiness.

TIMIKA — Thousands of workers at Freeport-McMoran’s gold and copper mine in eastern Indonesia began a monthlong strike Thursday over a wage dispute.

Juli Parorongan, a union spokesman, said 90 percent of the mine’s 12,000 workers were taking part as part of efforts to push up current salaries of $2.10 to $3.50 dollars an hour to $17.50 to $43.

“We just want them to earn the equivalent of what Freeport workers in other countries earn,” he said.

It’s the second strike this year at one of the world’s biggest gold and copper mines and coincides with a work-stoppage at the Phoenix-based company’s Cerro Verde mine in Peru.

During the eight-day work stoppage at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia’s easternmost province of Papua in July — also protest-ing low wages and the dismissal of union leaders — the company lost production of 4 million pounds of copper and 7.5 ounces of gold per day.

That hit the Pheonix-based company’s revenue by $30 million a day, analysts said.

Citi Investment Research analyst Brian Yu noted that labor accounts for 31 percent of Freeport’s average site costs, meaning a significant wage increase would have a material impact on unit costs.

He thought it unlikely Grasberg’s min-ers would be able to negotiate a globally competitive wage based on the additional infrastructure, such as roads, required to

support workers in the remote region.Workers only returned to their jobs after

the summer strike after management agreed to reinstate the labor leaders and reopen negotiations about wages and benefits.

“We finally decided to go into this strike because negotiations from July 21 to August 26 failed to reach any agreement,” Parorongan said, adding that the company was only offering a 22 percent hike within two years.

Ramdani Sirait, a company spokesman, said the U.S. gold mining giant hopes to continue talks to try to find a fair and ap-propriate solution.

“There’s no legal basis for a complete work stoppage, or strike, since the laws provide chances for sustained dialogue and mediation,” Sirait told The Associated Press in an email.

He added that discussions are scheduled to take place Thursday mediated by Man-power Ministry officials to find a solution.

Sirait said the company also was offering an attractive financial package, including a 230 percent boost in bonuses for higher metal output and a 4 percent contribution to the employee retirement savings plan.

“If totaled in a yearly base, the compen-sation package will amount to 26 times the basic monthly wage excluding overtime,” he wrote, adding that employees also get gener-ous housing loans, bonuses and educational assistance for their children.

An interoffice memorandum from the company called on the workers to boycott the strike and to return to negotiations in good faith.

Overlapping claims by sev-eral Asian nations to parts of the resource-rich sea have led to high tensions, especially with China, which claims almost the entire territory.

Indonesia’s exclusive economic zone overlaps with China’s claim.

And while Indonesia does not claim any of the islands in the dis-puted Spratley or Paracel chains, it does claim the Natuna islands, which China recently claimed as its own. Vietnam also claims part of the sea.

Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, on his first state visit to Jakarta since his reelec-tion in July, said his country and Indonesia needed to better patrol their border.

“We agreed to task our foreign ministries with negotiating and signing an agreement to establish joint patrols in the sea area and lines of communication between

our two navies,” Dung said.Vietnamese poachers are often

found in Indonesians waters, where authorities have seized hundreds of trespassing vessels in recent years.

“We agreed effective coopera-tion in the field of maritime affairs and fisheries is needed to bring benefits to both countries, includ-ing the prevention of illegal fish-ing,” Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said.

Indonesia loses around 30 tril-lion rupiah ($3.5 billion) each year because of illegal fishing in its wa-ters, according to ministry figures, prompting the passage of a law in 2009 that allowed marines to shoot and sink poaching vessels.

The neighbouring nations also agreed to increase trade, from $3.3 billion in 2010 to $5 billion by 2015, and sign a rice cooperation framework to ensure food security for all 10 Southeast Asian nations in the ASEAN bloc.

JAKARTA — Prosecutors are seeking a 12-year jail sentence for one of Indonesia’s top terrorism suspects on charges of helping set up a terrorist training camp.

State prosecutor Bambang Suharijadi said Thursday in a sentencing hearing before the West Jakarta District Court that Abu Tholut was guilty of helping set up a jihadist camp for a group that

plotted attacks on foreigners and assassinations of the country’s moderate Muslims leaders.

The 50-year-old Tholut is one of more than 120 alleged members of the “Tanzim Al Qaeda in Aceh” group to have been captured or killed since the camp in westernmost Aceh province was raided early last year.

He was arrested in December and went on trial in June. The judges are expected to issue their verdict next month.

Gitgit Waterfall is a beautiful tourist destination in north part of Bali. Gitgit waterfall is located in the plateau area with the height about 35 meters and it is surrounded by tropical tree and emits the constantly natural water debit during the year. Waterfall voice around the charming nature was amazing and it was the separate attraction which can be enjoyed by each visitor who comes to visit. There are some plantations protecting the rain forest around the waterfall and in this place we often met the wild monkey to get the water from this waterfall.

Gitgit Waterfall is one of the famous tourist destinations in Bali which is located in Gitgit countryside, Sukasada sub district and about 10 Km from Singaraja Town or about 70 Km from Denpasar. It is set at height land about 300 meters above sea level.

“I don’t even know where I am any-more,” she joked to dozens of photog-raphers and reporters who gathered for the unveiling with the show’s executive producer Mark Burnett and TV academy chairman John Shaffner. For the fourth year, the show will be held at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. The 390-foot red carpet — more like a red sidewalk, re-ally — will canvass the entire plaza across the street from the Staples Center.

After the show, Shaffner said the red carpet and the solar panels powering it will be donated to local charities. “People will get to live on red carpet,” he boasted. Lynch teased that the 63rd annual Prime-time Emmys would feature an appearance by such members of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” gang as Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Paul “DJ Pauly D” Delvecchio and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino.

She said the show will also star a chorus of singing TV actors who will introduce the award categories. They might melodi-

cally move the show along, too. “If any of our winners go long, they’ll be gently singing them off,” promised Lynch.

Inside the Nokia Theatre, the sweep-ing set was coming together. On one side of the stage, an enormous Emmy statue was showered in glittering charms. On the other side, a raised platform was surrounded by multiple screens. At the center was a voluminous circular screen doubling as an entryway.

“It’s a very big stage at the Nokia,” said Burnett. “It feels important. I like the colors — reds and golds, warm tones that make you feel invited and positive. Then, you drop in great musical moments and fun. That’s the tone and pace. There’s too much to fit in.” Does that mean the show will go over its three-hour running time? “Hey, has it ever not?”

Place cards on the chairs in front of the stage’s black-and-gold stairs illustrated that Hugh Laurie, Betty White and Chris Colfer will have the best seats in the house: front-row center.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The members of Lady Antebellum get asked a difficult question all the time: When are you going to write another hit like “Need You Now”?

That’s a little like asking if they can pick a set of winning lottery numbers — twice. The probability of achieving one worldwide hit is astronomical. But two?

“How could we ever do that?” singer Charles Kelley said. “That was a once-in-a-lifetime song. But I think we’ll continue to have success if we stay true to ourselves and our fans, our core audi-ence, which is the country music audience. We’re very flattered that more people are into us, but (pop music is) a genre and a world where it’s much more, ‘in one day and out the next.’ As long as our country fans still dig what we’re doing, we’ll hopefully be here for a long time.”

That kind of even-handed approach has guided Lady Antebellum through one of the most dif-ficult periods any band must navigate — instant stardom. “Need You Now” catapulted the trio from a well-regarded young country act with plenty of promise to multiplatinum international pop stars.

They toured places like Australia and New Zealand, with fans shouting their lyrics back at them from the last row, and have needed transla-tors for some of their interviews. They earned a room full of trophies, including that most surreal night when they won five Grammys, including record and song of the year for “Need You Now.” They became the go-to act for national anthems and guest appearances, climbed the country music ladder from opening act to headliner and pushed into the pop music world like few country acts

before.As they release their third album, “Own the

Night,” this week, Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood are philosophical about their expectations. No one hides the fact they hope for a follow-up hit and would be disappointed if “Night” doesn’t catch fire with fans. But standing firmly on a foundation they built long before the spotlight found them, they believe they did their part. The rest has never been in their control.

WASHINGTON — Jack Black, Conan O’Brien and Larry King will honor Will Ferrell with the nation’s top humor prize, along with Maya Rudolph and Molly Shannon from his “Saturday Night Live” days.

On Wednesday, the Kennedy Center in Washington an-nounced a lineup of star come-d i a n s w h o will perform in Ferrell’s honor fo r t h e M a r k Twain Prize for American Humor. They’ll salute him Oct. 23 in a perfor-

mance taped for broadcast Oct. 31 on PBS stations nationwide.

Ferrell’s longtime collaborator Adam McKay from the films “Anchor-man,” ‘’Talladega Nights” and “The Other Guys” will appear, as well as Lorne Michaels, Paul Rudd, John C. Reilly and the rock band Green Day.

Ferrell starred on “Saturday Night Live” for seven seasons, perfecting his character, “President George W.

Bush.” He went on to create Fun-nyorDie.com with McKay in 2007 and took his Bush character to Broadway in 2009’s “You’re Wel-come America: A final night with George W. Bush.”

His other impressions have in-cluded Janet Reno, Alex Trebek and

Neil Diamond. Ferrell got his start in comedy with the Los Angeles improv group, The Groundlings, when he was discovered by “SNL.”

The Mark Twain prize, now in its 14th year, recalls the social com-

mentary and satire of Samuel Clemens, the writer known as Mark Twain. Past winners include Tina Fey, Bill Cosby, Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin.

The brand of tablet is yet to be confirmed, but Qantas said Apple’s popular iPad was among the models being considered. “Q Streaming” will be made available to pas-sengers for viewing on their own tablet, laptop or smartphone later in the trial and would be a key part of the scheme if ultimately adopted, Qantas said.

“We are very pleased to be the first airline in the world to trial this wireless streaming product,”

said Alison Webster, the airline’s customer experience manager. It will be assessed for wider roll-out both domestically and internationally once the trial is complete, she added, with sup-plied tablets to be specially con-figured not to work outside the aircraft if stolen.

The plan could also see a “play-back” option to allow passengers who did not finish watching a programme on their own device

before landing to complete their viewing, even after leaving the aircraft, Webster told the AAP newswire. Replacing seat-back entertainment systems with tablets offered significant fuel efficiencies due to the weight saving, she added -- an important consideration as fuel prices rocket and Australia debates a pollution tax.

“We are all focused on fuel burn being environmentally friendly and we have huge commitments to sus-tainability targets,” Webster said.

American Airlines has launched a similar programme with Sam-sung’s Galaxy tablet for first and business class domestic passengers, but content is pre-loaded rather than streamed direct. Budget Qantas off-shoot Jetstar already offers iPads for rent on some of its flights.

An experimental malaria vaccine tested on children in Burkina Faso has shown “a high level of efficacy” in protecting against the disease, a study published in the United States said Wednesday. The study was ini-tially planned to study the safety and immune response of the vaccine, known by the name MSP3.

“However, as malaria attacks were documented as part of the safety follow-up, the investigators decided to explore the protective effect of the vaccine,” said report appearing in Thursday’s New Eng-land Journal of Medicine. “Results indicate a high level of efficacy.”

In the study, 45 children aged 12-24 months were randomized into three groups receiving doses of either 15 or 30 micrograms of the experimental malaria vaccine, or the control vaccine against Hepa-titis B. “Comparing the groups, they found a striking difference,” the study said.

It found children who received the new vaccine at either dose

had incidence rates three to four times lower than children who did not, “yielding efficacy rates of 64 and 77 percent protection against clinical malaria,” the journal ar-ticle said. “I found the results of this preliminary study in Burkina Faso to be most encouraging,” said Louis Miller, former chief of the Malaria Vaccine Development Branch of the US National Insti-tutes of Health, in the journal.

“Larger efficacy trials in diverse epidemiological settings will be required to confirm these results.” The study was led by scientists from the National Center for Re-search and Training on Malaria in Burkina Faso, the London School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and the Paris-based Pasteur Insti-tute. The researchers found those receiving the vaccine at either dose had more antibodies protecting against malaria.

“Despite the limitations of the design and small sample size, these results strongly suggest a significant protective effect over the follow-up period,” the study said.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Sci-entists tracking a rare western Pa-cific gray whale were shocked last winter when the endangered animal left the Asian coast, crossed the Bering Sea and swam south along Alaska, British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest coasts.

Researchers are back in Russia to see whether the feat will be repeated by other Pacific gray whales. A science team coordinated by the International Whaling Commission has attached satellite tags to five more of the highly endangered whales, according to an announcement by Oregon State University, which is taking part in the study. Researchers hope to tag 10 more whales before field work concludes.

Only about 130 western Pacific gray whales remain and little is known of their winter habits. They spend summers near Russia’s Sah-kalin Island. They face threats from offshore petroleum development, ac-cording to environmental groups.

Researchers last October were limited by foul weather to placing a cigar-size satellite tag on just one whale on the last day of field work. The 13-year-old male was dubbed “Flex.” It spent more than two months feeding near Sakhalin Island before moving across the Sea of Okhotsk to the west coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

On Jan. 3, to the surprise of researchers, it began swimming steadily east across the Bering Sea. Eighty miles north of Alaska’s Pribilof Islands, the whale turned

south, and swam between Aleutian Islands into the Gulf of Alaska. It continued southeast to shallow coastal waters off Washington and Oregon. Its last confirmed location was Feb. 4 off Siletz Bay, Ore., where researchers believe the satel-lite tag fell off. The whale had trav-eled 5,335 miles over 124 days.

Bruce Mate, director of the Ma-rine Mammal Institute at Oregon State University, told The Associ-ated Press in January that little was known about the winter habits of western Pacific gray whales. One hypothesis was that they swam south down the Asian coast to the southeast China Sea. Tracking one to North America waters was “surprising everybody,” he said in January.

Passengers on Qantas will be the first in the world to have in-flight entertainment streamed wirelessly to tablet devices in a trial announced by the Australian airline Thursday. To be rolled out from the end of next month on one Boeing 767-300 flying domestic routes, the six-week test will see Qantas’s current entertainment programme broadcast to a tablet supplied by the airline.

Schumacher’s driving was labelled as “pretty harsh” by McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh after the German changed lines more than once to defend his position. Red Bull driver Webber said Schumacher’s driving was not what other racers understand to be acceptable and believes the German was pushing the limits with his defence.

“It was a unique fight between Michael and Lewis because the McLaren was run-ning up against the rev limiter, so Michael had a speed advantage on the straights,” Webber wrote in his column for the BBC.

“He could position his car very cutely to try to keep him out. “There were a few times when Michael returned to the normal line having defended. That’s the point of interest because it’s not what most drivers understand to be acceptable.

“One incident in particular stood out - out of the second chicane and into Lesmo, when Lewis had a clear run and Michael went across to defend and then came back again. “Moving that many times was pushing the boundaries.”

PIRELLI wants to revamp the colour coding of its tyres for next season in a bid to make it clearer for fans exactly which compounds drivers are using. Formula 1’s official tyre supplier opted for different coloured logos on the four compounds for this season - with silver [hard], white [medium], yellow [soft] and red [super soft] being chosen ahead of the start of this season.

However, the colours have not proved easy to tell apart at times - especially at those races where the medium and hard tyres have been used. Pirelli director of motorsport Paul Hembery has said that there will be a rethink ahead of 2012, not only on the colours used but also the way the tyres are marked.

“I think we need to have a little bit of variety there and we need to improve the marking, certainly in the harder and medium com-pound with the silver and

white,” he told AUTOSPORT.“So we need to differentiate that and

give more colour, so the tyres are rec-ognisable when they are going around. We are working on it. We haven’t got the solutions yet and maybe we could even have a contest for people to choose Pirelli tyre colours next year.”

Hembery has said that the biggest issue Pirelli has is in sorting out how to apply colours to the sidewalls of the tyres –

rather than what colour they should be.“It is more the process – the colour

itself we can decide very late,” he said. “The thing that takes time is working out the process for getting the colours on the tyres. It might sound very simple but when you are trying to print and put something on a curved sidewall, and it also has to be something that resists go-ing over kerbs and rubbing, it is a rather convoluted process.

“There are not that many people in the world who do that, it is something you have to invent yourself and perfect yourself, but we are working on it.”

Hembery also said that with the company using stickers as its current markings, there were no plans to in-troduce a glow-in-the-dark element for next weekend’s Singapore GP as Bridgestone did last season. “For this year, no,” he said. “We are using a sticker, which means when the tyre is being cured, the label is put on its side then. With labelling technology as it is now, you cannot get the fluorescent pigments into it.”

Webber says Schumacher “pushing boundaries”

Mark Webber believes Mi-chael Schumacher was “push-

ing the boundaries” during his fight with Lewis Hamilton

at the Italian Grand Prix. The seven-time champion was

involved in an intense battle with the McLaren driver in

the early parts of the Monza race while they battled for

third position.
