“This condition potentially trig-gers a traffic accident. Supposedly,improvement to this broken downsidewalk can be given priority bygovernment,” said one of the roadusers, Yuda Riyanto, to Bali Post,Sunday (Jul 24).

Of course, the hope of road userwas truly equitable considering thebroken down sidewalk could poten-tially trigger a traffic accident on thatbusy road section. Based on obser-vation of Bali Post, the chunks andpaving stones of the sidewalk stillscattered on the roadside. Even, aone-meter hole looked to gape with-out being posted with safety sign sothat unsuspecting road users poten-tially fall into the pothole. Pedestri-ans passing through the sidewalkshould also step aside to avoid thechunks of pavement materials.

When contacted separately, theHead of Bali Public Works, DewaPutu Punia Asa, confessed if hisparty even had not known about thebroken down sidewalk. However,he promised to check the conditionof the collapsed sidewalk. “Let mesee first. I even do not know aboutit,” he said briefly.

The sidewalk on Jalan Gatot Subroto, exactly in front of theLumintang City Park, collapsing last week as run over by high-tonnage truck has not been improved yet hitherto. Moreover, itis a national road section connecting the main routes of Java-Bali-Lombok.

Are there any penalties for ve-hicle owner breaking down the side-walk? According to him, he did notknow about it. By and large, if pub-lic facilities were damaged becauseof negligence of road users, hisparty would make coordination inadvance with police and Transpor-tation Agency. “Related to the col-lapse of sidewalk on Jalan GatotSubroto, we will also make coordi-nation with the National RoadAgency. We’ll check it this Mon-day,” he said while adding the sta-tus of Jalan Gatot Subroto was na-tional road.

As reported previously, a truckcarrying chicken and pig feedweighing 30 tons foundered on thesidewalk in front of the LumintangCity Park, Denpasar, Sunday (Jul17). Since the sidewalk was unableto hold such a heavy load, it thenbroke down and left a gaping holewith a length of about one meter thatwas very dangerous for road userspassing through the area.

In the treatment of rabies, hisparty admitted to have proposed abudget to Bali government whereevery village was boomed to receiveas much as IDR 30 million to con-trol rabies dog. This kind of handlingwas considered more effective.

Furthermore, he said if until thisDecember the bite case of rabiesdog could no longer be encoun-tered in the entire Badung Region,such condition was called to leadto rabies-free. And if Badung Re-gency could maintain the free caseof rabies bite until mid 2012,Badung could be said to have beenfree from rabies. (kmb25)

Farmers in hibernationAgricultural Agencysets working group

orchid group in Sidakarya, SouthDenpasar, was a positive innova-tion to empower farmers andstimulate the agricultural activitiesthat were beginning to be left bysociety of Denpasar.

“In my opinion, this workinggroup is an effective measure torevive our agriculture. However,the establishment only is notenough. Agricultural Agencyshould also play an active role asfoster father and provide space aswell as marketing support after theharvest,” he suggested.

Suadi Putra also expected theAgricultural Agency could pro-vide an intensive training to en-hance the skills of farmers. Itshould also be accompanied withprovision of capital assistance forfarmers to increase the addedvalue of their agricultural prod-ucts through a good post-harvesthandling. In strengthening themarket access of the products, theAgricultural Agency was alsoasked to team up with businessmenin Denpasar that would be ready

to help market and use the agricul-tural products yielded by theseworking groups. “There should besuch a synergy to empower farm-ers in Denpasar,” he said.

According to Suadi Putra, thetraining on cropping pattern devel-oped so far had gone on prettywell. Nevertheless, he also re-quested in order farmers could begiven special training related topackaging and preservation of ag-ricultural products including post-harvest processing. By doing so,it could increase the selling pointof their agricultural products. Forexample, mushroom could notonly be sold in raw condition butalso be developed into new prod-ucts like processed dried chilies,pepper and others sold in the formof powder.

“No less importantly, farmersshould be absolutely given guid-ance on entrepreneurship. On thataccount, they will not be easilytricked and not depend on othersin marketing their products,” he re-minded. (kmb25)

YANGON, Myanmar — Pro-democracy leader Aung San SuuKyi met with a senior Myanmar government official Monday for thefirst time since her release from house arrest. The official later de-scribed the talks as a “first step” toward further cooperation in themilitary-dominated country.

Suu Kyi’s met for 80 minutes with Labor and Social Welfare Min-ister Aung Kyi at a government guest house. Aung Kyi said withoutelaborating that the two discussed the rule of law and ways to elimi-nate misunderstandings in the interests of the good of the country andthe people.

Nobel Peace laureate Suu Kyi, the country’s main opposition leader,has repeatedly asked for a dialogue with the government to solve thecountry’s political deadlock, which focuses on the military’s failureto establish democracy.

However, previous such initiatives between the two sides have nevergotten very far. Suu Kyi on Monday commented only that the meet-ing was in the in the interests of the people and the country.

Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy won a 1990 generalelection, but was barred from taking power by the army, which in-

stead cracked down onpolitical dissenters. Herparty boycotted a freshelection held last Novem-ber, charging it was un-democratic and unfair, aposition echoed by theU.S. government andother critics.

An elected civilian re-gime took office inMarch, but it is domi-nated by retired militaryfigures, and operates un-der a constitution that en-sures the military retainsa dominant role.

Last week, at a forumof Southeast Asian na-tions in Indonesia, U.S.Secretary of State HillaryRodham Clinton calledon Myanmar to open adialogue with the oppo-sition and release politi-cal prisoners to win thetrust of the internationalcommunity.

The premier, a one-time envi-ronmental activist, has said hewants to make clean energysources a new “major pillar” of theenergy mix of the world’s thirdbiggest economy, which remainsan export powerhouse.

His remarks came four monthsafter a March 11 earthquake andtsunami triggered the Fukushimanuclear accident, the world’sworst atomic crisis sinceChernobyl 25 years ago.

The premier is under intensepressure to quit from political ad-versaries who accuse him of hav-

ing bungled Japan’s response to thetsunami which left around 22,000people dead or missing.

Kan’s scepticism about boostingnuclear power in the quake-proneisland nation has also set him on acollision course with pro-nuclearlawmakers, both in the conservativeopposition and within his own party.

FRANKFURT - A German insolvency administrator was on Sun-day quoted as saying he was considering impounding a second jetused by the Thai Crown Prince, reported German tabloid Bild amSonntag.

“We are considering further steps, including seizing the prince’ssecond plane,” the paper quoted insolvency administrator WernerSchneider as saying.

German insolvency officials seized a Boeing 737 used by CrownPrince Vajiralongkorn almost two weeks ago to force the Thai gov-ernment to repay a debt linked to a Bangkok road construction project.

JAKARTA - Indonesia can’t getenough power to feed its boomingeconomy and fortunately forMochamad Sofyan, investors arelining up to invest billions of dol-lars in the country’s growing greenpower sector.

Sofyan, head of the new and re-newable energy division at stateutility PLN, is busier than ever asan increasing number of foreignand local firms file into his officelooking to invest in geothermal,hydro and biomass power projects.

Solar is also gaining interest.Government programmes to

speed investment in power projects,easier regulations and rapid eco-nomic growth are lures. Around athird of Indonesia’s 240 millionpeople are without power supply,and projections are for generationcapacity to nearly triple by 2020 tomeet a severe power shortage.

Rising investment in greenpower as well as coal and gas is partof a surge in foreign direct invest-ment, up 21 percent on the year inthe second quarter of 2011.

“If I had enough time, I wouldbe meeting investors every day,”Sofyan said in an interview at hisoffice in south Jakarta, where a whiteboard listed his many appointments.

Two years ago, he received justtwo visits a month. Now, investorsfrom the United States, Japan, Eu-rope, South Korea and China lineup for an appointment, he said.

The assistance was partof efforts to develop Indonesia intothe world‘s seventh largesteconomy, he said here on Sunday.

He said the aid had been put inthe plan for the expansion and ac-celeration of Indonesia‘s economicdevelopment until 2045, he said.

“Of the total, Rp3.5 trillion hasbeen used to build a hydro powerplant in Peusangan, Central Acehdistrict. The project is scheduled forcompletion in 2015,” he said.

TOMOHON - About 5,000 Indonesians who fled the erup-tion of Mount Lokon have returned to their villages as the vol-cano quieted down.

Sulawesi province in central Indo-nesia unleashed its most powerfuleruption last week, spewing hot ashand smoke. The only fatality was awoman who suffered a heart attack.

Lokon is one of 129 active vol-canos in Indonesia, which is proneto earthquakes and eruptions be-cause of its location on the Pacific“Ring of Fire.”

A motorist rides past wildfire in Muara, North Tapanuli, Sumatra island, Indonesia, on Sunday, July 24,2011. Government negligence, rampant development and illegal land clearing often combined to sparkwildfires in Indonesia that annually ravage thousands of acres of forest and could cover parts of neigh-boring Malaysia and Singapore in thick, noxious haze.

trict, a Lampulo port in Banda Aceh,and Idi port, East Aceh district, aswell as to finance a developmentproject in the province‘s westerncoast. “God willing, the develop-ment projects will be started nextyear,” he said.

He said the aid would also be usedto build a rubber factory, palm oilindustry and the agricultural sectors.

Hopefully, Aceh would becomean agro province and be able to speedup its economic growth in 2014 and2015, he said. Therefore, he ex-pressed his belief that Aceh endowedwith fertile land and water sourceswould contribute to the Indonesianeconomic growth outside the oil andgas sector.

“Hopefully, Aceh`s economicgrowth will reach seven to eight per-cent. The development projects willalso reduce Aceh`s unemploymentrate,” he said.

Indonesia green power steamsahead as economy booms

Investors in green power includeItochu, Sumitomo and Marubeni ofJapan, and Britain’s InternationalPower. Earlier this month, the In-donesian government said Frenchfirms would invest about $2 billionin geothermal projects.

Indonesia has pledged to cut thegrowth of greenhouse gas emis-sions, in part through boostinggreen power.

It has plenty of clean energy bub-bling away under the surface. Thearchipelago, along the Pacific Ringof Fire, is brimming with volcanoesand super-heated water that can bepumped from deep wells to drivesteam turbines.

At present, about 12 percent ofIndonesia’s total energy mix comesfrom geothermal and hydro. By 2019,that is projected to grow to 18 per-cent, PLN says. Coal will remain asthe top energy source, rising to about60 percent of the energy mix by 2019from less than 50 percent now.

The challenge is vast. As of2010, Indonesia’s generation capac-ity was 30,000 megawatts. Forneighbouring Australia, with a tenthof the population, it is 51,000 MW.

Two fast-track power programmes,each totalling 10,000 MW, havehelped propel investment because ofa government guarantee that PLN, thetop power producer and sole distribu-tor, will buy the electricity.

The second and latestprogramme focuses on greenpower, with about half of the ca-pacity set to come from renewables.

Other investments are going aheadoutside the programme as well.

All told, Sofyan said he expectedan additional 6,000 MW from newgeothermal projects by 2019 and an-other 6,100 MW from large and smallhydro plants. Currently, about 1,200MW comes from geothermal plantsand 4,000 MW from large hydro.

Despite the rush for green powerin Southeast Asia’s largest economy,bureaucratic delays were hamperingcompletion of power purchaseagreements and other steps, such aspermits to clear forested land,Sofyan said.

“Some of the projects will be de-layed two or three years. For geother-mal projects we still have some prob-lems,” he said, adding this meant theoriginal 2014 completion date underthe programme could now bestretched to 2017 for some projects.

Investors have shown willingnessto deal with delays and red tape.Swiss firm South Pole Carbon As-set Management has stepped up itsinterest in geothermal and hydroprojects in Indonesia.

Smaller projects, those less than10 MW, were particularly attractivebecause a change of rules in late2009 streamlined the approval pro-cess and sets a standard power pay-ment, or feed-in tariff.

“We have a deal with one projectdeveloper who wants to build morethan 10 mini-hydro projects, each lessthan 10 megawatts,” Paul Butarbutar,South Pole’s country director for In-donesia, told Reuters in Jakarta.

BUBUH INJIN(Black Rice Pudding)

OVERVIEW:

Different versions of this Balinese snack are a great

favorite with visitors to Bali.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup black glutinous rice

¾ cup white glutinous rice

2 pandan leaves

5 cups water

½ cup palm sugar syrup

1½ cup freshly squeezed thick coconut milk

PREPARATION:

1. Rinse both lots of rice well for 2 minutes under

running water. Drain

2. Put 5 cups water, both lots of rice and pandan leaf

into heavy stockpot. Simmer over medium heat

approximately 40 minutes.

3. Add palm sugar syrup and continue to cook until

most liquid has evaporated. Season with a pinch of

salt. Remove from heat and allow cooling.

4. Serve at room temperature, topped with freshly

squeezed coconut milk.

Helpful hints:

As fresh coconut milk turns rancid fairly quickly, a

pinch of salt is usually added to the milk to help

preserve it for few hours. A more effective alternative is

to cook the coconut milk with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch

diluted in a little water: heat gently, stirring constantly

for a couple of minutes. This coconut sauce will keep

overnight.

Milk made from instant powdered coconut will not

turn rancid, although the flavor is not as good as fresh

coconut milk. (www.baliguide.com/balifood)

If Kuta Beach has appropriatewaves for playing surfing untilenjoying the splendor of sunset,Sanur beach is good for canoe-ing while perceiving the warmthsunrise, so the Kerobokan Beach,Buleleng, is famous for its auraof that can cure diseases.

“People here really believethere is a special virtual hospitalcare for the sick on KerobokanBeach. Evidently, a lot of peoplecould recover after havingtherapy in nature,” said Ni MadeSudiasih, an owner of grilled sea-food restaurant on the beach.

The area of such unspoiledbeach is good and safe for visi-tors to take a shower. However,for those who especially want tohave therapy will choose a spe-cial location, namely near a smalland the only temple situated onthe beach. The therapy is initiatedby saying prayers in the temple.After that, bury the entire bodyexcept the head in the sand nearthe temple.

“Local people believe that lo-cation (temple area) is a virtual

hospital,” explained Sudiasih.The longer buried, the faster

illness will get recovery. How-ever, during the burial of thebody one should continue to in-voke healing. After several hours,the sick should performpurificatory rite at local Beji ora spring sanctified by Hinducommunity in Bali. Such activ-ity is carried out repeatedly.“Many people can recover afterhaving natural therapies here. Itcan be seen from the number ofpeople returning to the temple topray as expression of their grati-tude for having been bestowedwith recovery,” she said.

People taking advantage of thenatural therapies are not only thelocals, but also those coming fromother villages, even some comefrom other regions like Denpasar,Badung, Karangasem, andTabanan as well. Types of the dis-eases are like paralysis, sore bonesand so on.

The beach is situated atKerobokan Village, Sawan Subdis-trict, Buleleng Regency, or about

10 km to the east of Singaraja City.The beach is not much differentfrom the other coast. It has blacksand, strong wind and smallripples. It is more resembles a fish-ing beach rather than a touristbeach. Nevertheless, facilities suchas restaurants and toilets have beenavailable on the beach though theyare still very simple.

Although it has not well ar-ranged yet, the dining atmosphereon this beach is very romantic andnatural. Visitors can optionally besitting on a chair, sitting relaxinglyin tatami-style, or on the sandbased on mats. Indeed, some partsof the sand on this beach are ratherdirty because there is junk rubbish.However, specifically in the areawhere to eat is clean enough andthe sand continues to be leveledto make it interesting and verynatural landscape. It remains to besurrounded by verdant rice fieldsand trees growing locally thatmake us feel good. Familiaritywith nature will happen when hav-ing a meal and a bird suddenlyjoins to eat. (BTN/015)

SINGAPORE - Bewildered Asian officials could only watch and hopefor the best on Monday after U.S. lawmakers failed to break a debt im-passe that threatens to trigger a default and up-end global financial mar-kets.

Asia, which holds close to $3 trillion in U.S. government debt, has apowerful vested interest in Washington finding a workable compromise.Policymakers and economists contacted by Reuters were confident thatlawmakers would strike a last-minute deal to avert a crisis.

Investors in Asia took a defensive stance, although there was no evi-dence of the sort of panic selling that some politicians in Washington hadfeared. Stocks slipped while the Swiss franc rose and gold hit a recordhigh.

But with just eight days left before August 2, when the Treasury De-partment has estimated it will run short of money to pay all of its bills, theworry level was rising.

“Those in direct charge of reserves operations must be more nervousthan before, but nobody thinks Americans will choose suicide when theyhave known solutions,” said a senior official at the Bank of Korea, whospoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speakto the news media.

Japanese Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda, when asked about the break-down in the U.S. debt talks, said only: “I will be watching the situation.”

Asian sources said the U.S. debt troubles were primarily political, noteconomic. Finding a solution was a matter of mustering political will ratherthan securing rescue funding, which can be far more complicated, asGreece’s recent difficulties showed.

“They will definitely reach a compromise,” said Xia Bin, an academicadviser to the People’s Bank of China. “Don’t worry too much about it.

China is the largest foreign owner of U.S. government debt, with $1.16trillion as of May, so a vote of confidence from Beijing carries significantweight.

A senior Indian government official said the Obama administrationand lawmakers must be well aware of the consequences for global mar-kets of failing to reach a deal.

“If you look at the world markets, they are jittery though they have notnose-dived, perhaps reflecting hope of a solution,” the Indian official said.

Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan said a protracted debt ceiling debateadds uncertainty to the global economy.

“With the global recovery and confidence still fragile, it’s in everyone’sinterests that U.S. policymakers work toward a speedy resolution of theseissues,” Swan said in an email to Reuters.

Congress has set the U.S. government’s borrowing limit at $14.3 tril-lion, but Treasury has already tapped that amount and needs more moneyto meet its obligations. Republicans want an agreement on spending cutsbefore they authorize more borrowing. Democrats want to see a mix oflower spending and higher taxes.

Ratings agencies have warned that even if Congress raises the debtceiling and averts a default, they may still strip the United States of itsAAA credit rating, the highest possible, if lawmakers fail to agree on deeperlong-term budget cuts.

A lower credit rating could raise borrowing costs not only for the U.S.government but also for other countries, companies and consumers becauseU.S. Treasuries are the benchmark by which many loans are measured.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speaking in Hong Kong, saidshe was confident Congress would secure a debt deal and “work withPresident Obama to take steps to improve our long-term fiscal outlook.

Ethan Harris, co-head of global economic research at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, said he expected a temporary increase in the debt ceilingwith the promise of up to $4 trillion in deficit reductions to be finalized sixmonths later.

“The base case scenario can be summarized as ‘appease and delay’ —appease the rating agencies and the market with the beginnings of a largeplan, but in actuality delay the crisis further into the future,” Harris said.

Robert Tipp, chief investment strategist at Prudential Fixed Income inNewark, New Jersey, said the U.S. Treasury may have a bit of wiggleroom on the August 2 deadline because tax revenues had exceeded expec-tations. But that would buy a few days, not weeks.

In a speech to the U.S. Chamber ofCommerce in Hong Kong, Clintonpredicted a deal on the debt would bereached before the August 2 deadlineto avoid an unprecedented default. Shesaid the partisan debate over the debtceiling was a fact of life in Americanpolitics.

“The political wrangling in Wash-ington is intense right now,” Clintonsaid. “But these kinds of debates havebeen a constant in our political lifethroughout the history of our repub-lic. Sometimes they are messy ... butthis is how an open and democraticsociety ultimately comes together toreach the right solution. So I am con-fident that Congress will do the rightthing and secure a deal on the debtceiling and work with PresidentObama to take steps necessary to im-prove our long-term fiscal outlook.”

World financial markets are warilywatching developments in Washing-ton, and China, the largest foreignholder of U.S. debt, is particularly con-cerned. Asian stocks were down earlyMonday, with Japan’s Nikkei 225,China’s Shanghai Composite Indexand Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Indexeach losing about 0.6 percent.

HONG KONG — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought Monday to reas-sure financial markets in Asia and around the world that America’s economy is sound despiteits current woes and the deadlock over the national debt.

“Of course, countries in this regionare grappling with challenges,” Clintonsaid. “But we are bullish on Asia’s fu-ture. And while the United States isfacing its own challenges, make nomistake: We are bullish on America’sfuture, too.”

Clinton appealed to China and oth-ers not to lose faith in the Americaneconomic model, which she said isresilient and has recovered from nu-merous past crises.

“America remains an ‘opportunitysociety,’” she said, “a country of pos-sibility and mobility where a brilliantidea hatched in a college dorm roomor a product invented in a garage canfind a global market and grow into amultibillion-dollar company.”

She urged Asia to embrace openand fair economic policies that havepropelled growth in the past.

Because of those principles, “everytime in history when the United Stateshas experienced a downturn we haveovercome it,” she said.

Clinton called on nations aroundthe world to play by the same rules,ending protectionism and easingother trade barriers as well as com-bating corruption and defending in-

tellectual property rights.“All who benefit from open,

free, transparent and fair competi-tion have an interest and a respon-sibility to follow its rules,” she said.“Enough of the world’s commercetakes place in developing nationsthat leaving them out of the rules-based system would render that sys-tem unworkable — and ultimatelythat would impoverish everyone.”

Her speech in Hong Kong wasdelivered at the tail end of a 12-day,around-the-world diplomatic tourthat began in Europe but has fo-cused on Asia for the past week.Clinton arrived in this former Brit-ish colony late Sunday after threedays in Bali, Indonesia, where sheattended a regional security forumat which North Korea and tensionsin the South China Sea topped theagenda.

Before Monday’s address,Clinton met with senior officialsfrom Hong Kong’s government.Afterward, she will drive toShenzhen in southern mainlandChina for talks with Chinese StateCouncilor Dai Bingguo. Clinton willreturn to Washington later Monday.

Don Harris, head of distribution forParamount, said “Captain America” ex-ceeded expectations. He figured it woulddo the same sort of business as “X-Men:First Class,” which opened with $55.1 mil-lion in June.

“It looked to me, when I saw the mar-keting on the movie and then saw ‘CaptainAmerica,’ like a throwback movie. It re-minded me a little bit of ‘Raiders of theLost Ark.’ It had a little bit of a ‘Raiders’feel to it, which is one of the best moviesof all time,” Harris said. “People embracethe look of the character.

LOS ANGELES — RandyQuaid says he would like to returnto the United States one day, buthe and his wife still fear they arebeing persecuted by Californiaprosecutors and tabloid media.

Although U.S. officials recentlyrefused to seek extradition of theactor and his wife from Canada toface felony vandalism charges inSanta Barbara, Calif., authorities inthe coastal town say they’ll stillhave the couple arrested if they re-turn to the states.

The Quaids, who have missedseveral court appearances in thecase, claim they are the victims ofcorrupt forces and are demandingan investigation.

“I feel like we’ve been driven outof the country and that the door’sbeen slammed behind us,” Quaidtold The Associated Press in a phoneinterview from British Columbia onFriday. “And for what, these phonylittle trespassing, vandalismcharges? Santa Barbara can sleepbetter tonight knowing the Quaidsare out of their hair.”

The couple’s current trouble be-gan in September 2010, when theywere arrested for causing more than$5,000 damage at a hillside homethey were renting.

The 27-year-old singer died Sat-urday afer publicly struggling withdrug and alcohol abuse for years.

Police have said the cause ofher death is being treated as “un-explained,” and have said specu-lation that she might have sufferedan overdose is “inappropriate.”Police said a post-mortem is ex-pected Monday afternoon.

It was the second bout of troublefor the couple in Santa Barbara.Months earlier the pair resolved acase in which they also missed sev-eral court appearances related tocharges they defrauded an innkeeper;the case against the actor wasdropped, but his wife was placed onprobation after pleading no contestto a misdemeanor.

After the new arrest, they say theywaited weeks to see if they would

Days later, they were arrested byCanadian police because of the Cali-fornia case. Quaid sought asylum,claiming he was being hunted by“Hollywood star-whackers” who hadkilled his friends David Carradine andHeath Ledger.

Chris Evans, star of “Captain America: The First Avenger,” waves to photographers at thepremiere of the film in Los Angeles, Tuesday, July 19, 2011. The film is to be released onFriday, July 22.


LOS ANGELES — In a battle of summer movie heroes, Captain America toppedHarry Potter this weekend at the box office. Paramount Pictures’ “Captain America:The First Avenger” opened at No. 1 with $65.8 million, according to Sunday studioestimates. The Marvel Comics superhero adventure sets up next summer’s all-starblockbuster “The Avengers.”

movies for the summer, it looks like we gotto save the best for last,” he said.

Internationally, “Captain America: TheFirst Avenger” opened only in Italy with $2.8million. It will begin playing in 23 interna-tional markets next weekend, including theUnited Kingdom, Russia, Argentina, Brazil,Mexico, Australia and Korea.

“Harry Potter” dropped 72 percent fromits record-setting opening of $169.2 millionlast weekend. That was expected, though:Even Warner Bros. executives acknowledgedthat these movies are front-loaded in termsof audience turn-out.

And as box-office analyst PaulDergarabedian of Hollywood.com pointedout, this final “Potter” picture made $43million in its first midnight showings alone.“‘Harry Potter’ did what it’s going to do,”Dergarabedian said. “Even trying to keep upwith that pace, that level, is really tough.”

The strong showing of “Captain America”made sense, he said. Every superhero moviethat’s come out this year has opened at No. 1.

ease,” a university spokesman told AFPThursday. Parkinson’s is a progressivemotor-system disorder which usuallyaffects people over the age of 50, al-though it can strike earlier, often caus-ing severe symptoms including bodytrembling, stiffness and loss of balance.

The condition is usually treated witha drug called levodopa, which the brainconverts into dopamine to relieve thesymptoms, but it can also cause nauseaand hallucinations. The Baptist Univer-sity study found that patients who tookGouteng together with levodopa expe-rienced fewer side effects from the drugwhile showing a marked improvementin their communication skills.

Li Min, an associate professorwho led the study, said the find-ings could also help boost the pro-file of Chinese medicine. “Theyprovide not only pharmacologicalproof of the efficacy of Goutengin treating Parkinson’s disease, butwill also help promote the effec-tiveness and safety of Chinesemedicine to the internationalmedical arena,” she said.

JERUSALEM — A tiny golden bell pulled after 2,000 years froman ancient sewer beneath the Old City of Jerusalem was shown Sun-day by Israeli archaeologists, who hailed it as a rare find. The orbhalf an inch (one centimeter) in diameter has a small loop that ap-pears to have been used to sew it as an ornament onto the clothes of awealthy resident of the city two millennia ago, archaeologists said.

The biblical Book of Exodusmentions tiny golden bells sewnonto the hem of the robes of Templepriests, along with decorativepomegranates. The artisans incharge of making the priestlyclothes and implements, accordingto the Bible, “made bells of puregold, and attached the bells aroundthe hem of the robe between thepomegranates.”

It was not know whether this bellwas attached to a priestly garment.It is engraved with a pattern of cir-cular channels starting at the top.

The bell was found inside theOld City walls, a few paces fromthe site of the Jewish Temples —the sacred compound known toJews as the Temple Mount and toMuslims as the Noble Sanctuary.The compound is home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the golden-capped Islamic shrine known as theDome of the Rock.

The excavation of the sewer ispart of the City of David excavationsin the oldest section of Jerusalem,which lies just outside the currentcity walls and underneath the Pales-tinian neighborhood of Silwan. Inthe past, Palestinians have objectedto Israeli excavations in that area.

The sewer, which Jewish rebelsare thought to have used to flee theRoman legionnaires who razedJerusalem and its Temple in A.D.70, is set to open to the public laterthis summer.

For Forlan, it was an emotionaltriumph as he followed his fatherand grand-father into the recordbooks as a Copa America winner.“This really means a lot for me be-cause my grand-father won it, myfather won it and now I have alsodone it,” said the former Manches-ter United striker, who took his in-ternational tally to 31 goals, arecord he now holds with HectorScarone.

“Three generations have wonthis trophy. The name of Forlan willstay in history.” Suarez opened thescoring in the 12th minute when hisdrive took a deflection off DarioVeron and left goalkeeper JustoVillar wrong-footed. AtleticoMadrid star Forlan added the sec-ond three minutes from the inter-val when Egidio Arevalo cleverlyintercepted the ball to release theveteran attacker who confidentlyburied a left-footed strike.

Aston Villa’s new manager Alex McLeish is set to make hissecond major signing by bringing in winger Charles N’Zogbia fromWigan in a £9.5million deal.

The Press Association reported that the fee for the formerNewcastle player had finally been agreed between the two clubs,but there had as yet been no official confirmation of the deal fromeither club.

N’Zogbia was expected to hold talks over personal terms andundergo a medical once the deal has been officially rubber-stampedbetween the clubs. McLeish has been keen to bring in a new wideplayer after the sale of Ashley Young and Stewart Downing toManchester United and Liverpool respectively.

The Scottish coach has long been an admirer of N’Zogbia andnearly signed him when in charge of Birmingham, only for thedeal to collapse at the last minute over a disagreement on his per-sonal terms.

The Frenchman will be reunited with his former Newcastleteam-mate goalkeeper Shay Given, who last week becameMcLeish’s first signing of the summer in a move from Manches-ter City.


LONDON — Mohamedbin Hammam vowed tooverturn his bribery con-viction and lifetime banfrom soccer on Sunday,calling the decision an actof “revenge” by FIFA andits president, Sepp Blatter.

“The ban for life, thatshows how much thesepeople are angry, howmuch they are full of re-venge,” bin Hammam toldthe BBC’s Sportsweek ra-dio program.

FIFA imposed the banon Saturday after findingthe suspended Asian Foot-ball Confederation presi-dent guilty of bribery allegations in his campaign to unseat Blatteras head of the sport’s world governing body, just months after hehelped secure 2022 World Cup hosting rights for his tiny Gulfhomeland of Qatar.

The scandal led to bin Hammam abandoning his campaign forthe FIFA presidency and ultimately led to the veteran executivecommittee member becoming the most senior official convictedof corruption in the governing body’s 107-year history.

Bin Hammam, who was not present at the hearing, denies theallegations, and plans to clear his name by launching several ap-peals, including at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzer-land.

“The first step for me is the appeals committee of FIFA whichis another kangaroo court,” he said. “Then after that when we goto CAS things are going to be much improved. At that time I thinkFIFA will not have the full stage themselves.

“Then I should go to the civil courts in Switzerland where wehave full confidence to make the necessary justice.” Bin Hammamadded that FIFA has yet to outline the charges against him.

“We wrote to FIFA about 10 days back asking them what arethe accusations against Bin Hamman because so far there are noaccusations known to us,” he said. “Surprisingly, after some days,maybe one or two days before the trial, FIFA wrote back to mylawyers, telling them you will be know the accusations on the22nd (July). From that we knew that FIFA has already taken (thedecision), they just wanted the platform to announce it.” The Qatarialso said he will not resign from his FIFA post.

“I am not resigning, I am not going to resign. I will quit withthe final say of Switzerland,” he said.

Uruguay defeated Paraguay 3-0 on Sunday to win a record 15th Copa America with strikerDiego Forlan grabbing two goals to take his international tally to 31 and complete an incrediblefamily story. Liverpool attacker Luis Suarez, the player of the tournament, was also on targetas Uruguay claimed a first continental crown since 1995 and broke their all-time Copa title tieof 14 which they held with Argentina.

River Plate’s famous EstadioMonumental. Suarez added: “Wereally wanted this. We are a unitedgroup and we deserved it. We hadto fight like crazy to win this andwe’ve achieved something great.”

Captain Diego Lugano said thewin was a triumph for the whole ofhis country. “I’m really proud of theway we played and the way we didit. You cannot imagine how I feel.We’ve made a lot of people veryhappy.”

Uruguay, who were World Cupsemi-finalists in 2010, dominatedthe first half while Paraguay, whohad reached the final without win-ning a game, were desperately shortof ideas and inspiration. They hadbeen fortunate not to have been agoal down as early as the secondminute, needing Villar to pull off asensational, point-blank save tokeep out a bullet header from Di-ego Lugano.

Paraguay, the champions in 1953and 1979, had defeated Brazil andVenezuela in penalty shoot-outs inboth the quarter-finals and semi-fi-

nals after the games ended 0-0 inextra-time. But they came close topulling a goal back in the 54thminute when Nelson Valdez crasheda right-foot volley off the crossbarwith Uruguay goalkeeper FernandoMuslera getting a slight touch to de-flect the ball towards the woodwork.

Just moments earlier, Suarez hadmuscled his way down the left, buthis cutback for Forlan dropped justinches behind the Atletico Madridman as he closed down on goal.Paraguay again looked dangerouswhen Ivan Piris charged down theright flank before crossing to Chris-tian Riveros whose flick was savedby Muslera.

Uruguay remained in a positiveframe of mind, bringing on prolificNapoli striker Edinson Cavani forAlvaro Pereira after 65 minutes.Cavani then teed-up SebastianEguren 10 minutes later but Villarpulled off a one-handed save despitebeing off-balance.

Although fully deserved,Evans’s triumph has a transitionalfeel. The BMC rider is, at 34years and five months, the oldestcyclist to win the Tour since 1923and is highly unlikely to start along-term reign.

French fifth seed Gilles Simon collected his ninth career title when hedefeated Spanish claycourt specialist Nicolas Almagro, the third seed, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 under the roof here on Sunday.

The 26-year-old Simon, who had also won in Sydney in January, hadknocked out top seeded compatriot Gael Monfils in the quarter-finals andwill rise to 11 in the world when the new rankings are released on Monday.

“I had to play my best tennis to win such a tough final,” said Simon, afterhis fourth victory in three sets at the tournament.

The bad weather in the German city meant that the roof over theRothenbaum Tennis Centre was closed as Simon became the first Frenchmansince Henri Leconte 25 years ago to win the title.


MEMPHIS, Tenn. — In the year since Lorenzen Wright’s decom-posing body was found in a secluded field in southeast Memphis, hismother has kept pressing authorities to find whoever killed the formerNBA player. Deborah Marion has repeatedly visited and called theMemphis Police Department for answers about her son’s shooting death,though authorities have very few.

“We are a long way from solving this crime,” Memphis Police Di-rector Toney Armstrong said last week. Marion said: “I will never losehope until I’m dead and buried.” But mistakes have hurt the case, whichremains unsolved since Wright, 34, was found dead July 28, 2010.

Wright’s relatives and friends have complained a missing person’sreport wasn’t taken seriously. It was 10 days before his body was found,complicating the investigation because evidence was left to deterio-rate in a swampy field at the height of summer. A 911 call made fromWright’s cell phone soon after he was last seen by his family wasbotched by dispatchers. A small reward of $6,000 — less than the$8,000 offered by a family and animal rights groups for a missing pitbull named Kapone — has yielded just 28 Crime Stoppers tips.Armstrong acknowledged the reward and the number of tips were lowfor such a high-profile case.

Marion filed a $2 million lawsuit Wednesday, accusing suburbanauthorities in Germantown and Collierville of messing up the emer-gency call and the missing person’s report. Officials in both munici-palities have declined comment. Marion said the police departmentsinvolved did not take enough responsibility. “It’s like they were justpassing the ball from court to court,” Marion said of the agencies.

The slender, athletic Wright played for the Memphis Grizzlies andfour other NBA teams as a forward and center over 13 seasons beforeretiring in 2009. He also played high school and college ball in Mem-phis, where he was a fan favorite thanks to his charity work with youthand his father’s involvement as a coach in summer leagues.

His death was immediately met with grief and calls for justice. Hun-dreds went to the crime scene off a back road that he often drove. Amemorial service and vigil were held in the FedEx Forum arena, at-tended by NBA players and politicians.

“Being able to drive with your head allthe time and getting it just right is mas-sively satisfying. I was in a good space,and days like this pay off more than youcould imagine.” Hamilton said victory wasmade all the more special by the pressurehe and McLaren have been under lately,but that both parties need to replicate suchperformance on a consistent basis.

“Every win is special, but with theemotion, effort and all the energy the team

put into the car and the effort they putin, it just couldn’t feel better.”Cominginto this weekend I said I would takeit one race at a time. To win is mas-sively positive for us, but there is along way to go and it is about gettingconsistency.

“If I say something now it couldbe a disaster, as the next race is goingto be very, very hard. We are back inthe fight though, and I hope we cancarry this forward and keep the mo-mentum going.”
