Denpasar – Bali Government plan to form another local company(BUMD), PT. Bali Mandara. The proposal had been sent to Bali House ofRepresentative and it had been discussed. The question emerge are whatare the activities of PT Bali Mandara? Why Bali’s Government form an-other BUMD when the operational of the other BUMD is very difficult?

The vice of Bali House of Representative, I Gusti Bagus Alit Putra,said that the proposal had been discussed in a meeting. However, thehouse decided that the proposal must be postponed and will be furtherdiscussed in 2010. Alit Putra said that the postponement was due to theshort period time this year. “The agenda scheduled to be discussed nextyear. The Bali Mandara proposal will be discussed in 2010,” he added.

However, the source in the house said that most of he memberdidn’t know about the proposal. Several people said that Bali Mandaracould affected the other companies and the budget because it will usethe money from Bali’s budget.

The recordings have been pre-sented as evidence of collusion be-tween police, prosecutors and cor-ruption suspects to silence anti-graft investigators, supposedlywith the approval of PresidentSusilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

The case has become a majortest for Yudhoyono’s new coalitiongovernment, formed last monthafter he won a landslide electionvictory on the back of promises tostamp out widespread corruption.

A page on social networkingwebsite Facebook — set up to de-mand the release of two arrested anti-graft investigators at the centre of thescandal — has attracted almost600,000 members in six days.

Thousand s of bananas perish-ing in Buleleng due to the attackof carrion beetles, fungi and bac-teria thoroughly made farmersshocked. The dream of obtainingbenefits by selling banana duringreligious holidays ranging fromGalungan up to entering the fifthfull moon on last Monday (Nov2) in fact never came true.Buleleng banana once becominga leading product, now has left amemory only. What should bedone?

“I have imagined that tens ofbanana trunks in my garden willbear fruits by Galungan up to thisfull moon. However, I should suf-fer from a great loss. When theystarted to bear fruit, they perishedgradually,” said Gede Sudana(30), a farmer from Grokgak ter-ritory, last Monday.

The fate of other farmers hav-ing banana garden at a number ofterritories in Buleleng was thesame. This happened becausethousands of banana trunks inBuleleng perished due to the at-tack of carrion beetles, fusariumfungi and pseudomonas bacteria.Actually, these attacks have oc-curred since years ago but it couldnot be eradicated up to 100 per-cent. Within the transitional sea-son of this year, the attacked wasgetting more serious.

Denpasar (Bali Post)—

Increasing number of crimi-nal actions occurring latelymade police officer seriouslythink about its solution. Thoughits party has performed the op-eration Curat Curas Agung2009, perpetrators of criminalact seemingly did not care aboutit, even their action tended toturn crazier.

Regarding to that matter,joint team of Bali Police andDenpasar Metro Police wentdown to location right away toorganize civilian and creatingcondition operation in Kutaarea , l as t Sunday (Nov 1)night. At least, 250 personnelwere assigned in the operation.However, the result was noth-ing. “Nevertheless, reluctanteffect toward perpetrators ofcr imina l could be s l igh t lyminimized. In other words,several endeavors have beenattempted by police to dimin-i sh the number of c r imes .Other than intended for mini-mizing the case of theft, wealso fight the actions of civil-ian,” said Chief of DenpasarMet ro Po l ice , I Gede Al i tWidana, last Monday (Nov 2).

According to Chief Ali tWidana, Kuta area selected asthe target of operation becauseit became the barometer of tour-ism in Bali. At this tourist re-

sort, many foreign tourists wereenjoying the magnificence ofnight at tourist kampong. “In-deed Kuta is worth securing be-cause this area is vulnerable tocrimes,” he explained to journal-ists last Sunday.

Before carrying out the op-eration, hundreds of police of-ficer gathered in front of HardRock Hotel, Jalan Pantai Kuta.Having got briefing, the troopstaken from Criminal Researcher,Security Intelligent, Prepared-ness Services and Traffic Ser-vices were dispersed to carry outunannounced field inspection.As usual, police officer probedthe valuables brought by resi-dents.

Chief Alit Widana said thatsuch unannounced inspectionwas performed to synergize thecapability of police officer infighting against criminals.“Though the operation did notyield any result, at least perpe-trator of criminal act could bediminished. This operation willbe kept on continuing,” he said.

Such unannounced inspectionheld for some hours was also ac-companied by Spokesperson ofBali Police, I Gde Sugianyar,Director of Security Intelli-gence, Joko Mulyono, Directorof Preparedness Services, GustiNgurah Gunawan and DivisionHead of Security ProfessionalDivision, Darmawan. (kmb21)

ter of banana plantation. Even,since 2000 up to 2005, banana pro-duced by Buleleng once became aleading fruit. As consequence, lo-cal farmers enjoyed a good profitwhen their bananas were highlydemanded by residents of other re-gencies in Bali, even by restaurantsand hotels. Recently, the numberof their banana products graduallydecreased. They were unable tomeet the demand of hotel or otherregions and self-consumption.

Today, for the need of rituals,Buleleng residents as others in Baliindeed should depend on the ba-nana supply from Java. It wasproven by the downloading activi-ties at a number of traditional portsat northern coastal areas ofBuleleng, such as Buleleng Porttending to show his increasingbusiness every month. Download-ing of banana freights carried outby traditional boats from Maduraand Java progressively increasedby Galungan holiday or other ritualdays like full moon.

A resident that always workedat Buleleng Port said that byGalungan holiday, traditional boatsdownloading banana freights werecrowded enough. A boat could hold100 stems of banana, one stem con-sisted of 50 pieces and at market,they were sold at IDR 100,000. Onthat account, a piece of banana atfood stall might be sold at IDR1,000 up to IDR 2,000. Therefore,it could be imagined how much

money were spent by residents topurchase banana from outside Balifor the means of oblation.

The Head of Buleleng Agricul-tural and Animal Husbandry Ser-vices, Putu Ardika, admitted thatBuleleng banana indeed once be-came a leading product around2005. The most favorite bananacultivated in Buleleng were kingfeather and Cavendish (green ba-nana). Even, many farmers specifi-cally cultivated banana such as thatlocated at Sanggalangit, Grokgakand plantation area atKubutambahan. However, sincethe attack of insects, the only spe-cial banana plantation left was atSanggalangit. The product of ba-nana of Sanggalangit was onlyenough to meet the demand of ho-tel and restaurant.

Ardika confessed the attack ofbacteria and fungi known aswilted-leaf disease and decayed-fruit were indeed difficult to beeradicated totally. For that pur-pose, he expected the experts ofplant disease could discover theright and affordable means in or-der Buleleng could regain itsgolden period as leading producerof banana. “The Office of Agricul-tural and Animal Husbandry Ser-vices have designed an integratedagricultural program to improvethe banana production in Buleleng.In the midst of clove and mangoplants could be planted with ba-nana intercrops,” he said.

Singaraja (Bali Post)—After attacking the office of

Buleleng House, last Monday (Nov2), residents of Lemukih CustomaryVillage moved to Buleleng ResortPolice. Those residents wished toaccompany four witnesses who wereunder investigation related to clashcase at Lemukih Village, last Tues-day (Oct 27) night up to Wednesday(Oct 28) early morning.

The coming of Lemukih Custom-ary villagers were impeded in per-son by a group of police in front ofthe Resort Police. They were not al-lowed to enter into the Headquarterof Resort Police. Meanwhile, policeonly permitted those who wereprobed by police to enter. Thoughthere were a number of residents in-sisted on accompanying the wit-nesses, police officer stayed to for-bid them.

Four witnesses probed on lastMonday were Kadek Buda, KetutBudiastini, Nang Sari Karta andNyoman Marayasa. By investiga-tion to the four witnesses, it meantthat 16 witnesses have been probedin connection with to the clash casecausing three residents seriously in-jured.

worried about his signature asmentioned in the document. Itwas based on the reason that whenhe was asked to affix signature,his eyes were abnormal and al-most minus 4. At the same time,such condition forced him to signthe probing document thoughwith consequence he did notknow the entire content of theprobing document.

Another way to refuse theprobing document once shockedthe member of judge assembly,Posma P Nainggolan. Spokesper-son of Denpasar Court did notbelieve in what the witness saidat all. If he said that his eyes wereabnormal, how he could know ifthe content was not correct. More-over, if his eyes were abnormalhe might sign the document im-properly. However, he could do itaccordingly. “If you want to avoidyou must think it first, do notavoid haphazardly,” said Posma.

Considering that the witnesskept on avoiding, the judge thenreminded in order such temporary

officer (PTT) at Bangli Educa-tional Services gave honest infor-mation. He considered that it didnot have any consequence. “If youare proven to give false informa-tion, judge assembly will askprosecutor to propose you in an-other new case. You may be sen-tenced with seven-year imprison-ment. Would you like to get thepunishment?” threatened Posma.

Though got such a threat, thewitness stayed consistent with hisinformation. He did not show anyfear, though he was threatenedwith punishment that should befaced if his information was in-correct. Since the witness kepton avoiding, judge assembly ter-minated the session and askedPublic Prosecutor Alit Suastikaand colleagues to present inves-tigator as witness. “Let’s stop thesession. I demand the prosecutorto present the investigator in thenext session. If necessary, to-gether with his advocate,” as-serted judge Emmy before clos-ing the session. (015)

shooting case was unnecessary to berelated. “Let him undergo it. Pleasedo not relate the case with Re-searcher,” he said. Similarly, it wasrelated to the happening of farewellparty held for officers of the middleranks of Bali Police. The happeningwas not held at Blue Eyes, but at otherplace. “It had nothing to do with thefarewell party,” said one of the po-lice officers whose name asked to bemade secret.

As published previously, one ofthe personnel of Criminal Researcher‘played’ to shoot at one of the bath-rooms of Blue Eyes Discotheque. Al-legedly, the personal of police wasdrunk when he was interrogating asuspected person bringing drugs.

Since he could not find any evi-dence on the suspected person, thepersonal of police officer shot his fire-arm to the wall of bathroom. As aresult, visitors of Blue Eyes wereshocked and ran out of the hall area.As follow up, the officer was takento Division of Security Professional(Propam). (kmb21)

is possibility for that. Let’s wait andsee,” he said.

Keeping PromisePreviously, Lemukih residents

were also disappointed with behav-ior of Buleleng House to resolve thecase. Residents came to take theirpromise delivered by CommissionA of Buleleng House on receivingthe demand of Lemukih residents onlast October 27. At that time, resi-dents demanded in order BulelengHouse issued a recommendationcontaining an instruction to LandRegistry Services (KP) of Bulelengto measure the dispute land and rec-ommendation to discharge the po-sition of the Head of KP Singaraja,I Gede Sukardan Ratmasa, as he wasjudged incapable of carrying out histasks.

When residents expressing theirdisappointment in high tone, thehead and member of the House gaveimpression to leave their responsi-bility. The head and member of theHouse also showed similar attitudewhen residents firmly asked aboutwhen the House could issue the rec-ommendation promised.

Dharma Wijaya as the head ofmeeting even handed over theproblem to a member of Commis-sion A, Made Teja. “For certaintyabout when recommendation willbe issued, we deliver this respon-sibility to members of Commis-sion A,” he said in front ofLemukih residents. (kmb15)

SINGAPORE - The UnitedStates plays an “indispensable”role in Asia despite the rise ofChina and India and should be partof any new regional group,Singapore Prime Minister LeeHsien Loong said Tuesday.

Speaking ahead of the Asia-Pa-cific Economic Cooperation (APEC)summit, Lee expressed hope Wash-ington will deepen engagement in theregion despite pressing domestic is-sues and worries over Iraq, theMiddle East and Afghanistan.

“We believe America plays anindispensable role in Asia in manyfields — economic, political, stra-tegic, security,” he said at a newsconference.

Up to 250,000 people have fledthe military’s major offensive,now into a third week in SouthWaziristan on the Afghan border,said Lieutenant General NadeemAhmad, chief of the state-runagency handling the displaced.

Among guests invited to the cer-emony were former prime ministerJunichiro Koizumi, Japanese base-ball legend Sadaharu Oh and USPresident Barack Obama’s new am-bassador to Japan, John Roos.

During his stay, Bush is expectedto meet Koizumi and give a speech,reports said. Koizumi, one of thenation’s most popular premiers inmodern times, maintained close per-sonal ties with Bush.

Koizumi retired from politics ear-lier this year without running in gen-eral elections in August, at which hisLiberal Democratic Party suffered amajor defeat, ending half a centuryof almost unbroken conservative rule.

Bush has no plans to hold talkswith any officials of Prime MinisterYukio Hatoyama’s centre-left gov-ernment, officials said.

Bush visited Japan in July lastyear for his last summit of the Groupof Eight industrialised nations.


KABUL - Afghan PresidentHamid Karzai vowed Tuesday thathis new government would eradicatecorruption and offered an olivebranch to Taliban insurgents, launch-ing his programme for another fiveyears in office.

Under pressure from US Presi-dent Barack Obama to wipe out cor-ruption and world leaders to unifythe war-torn nation, Karzai used hisfirst appearance since electoral au-thorities declared him president topledge a cleaner rule.

“Afghanistan’s image has beentainted by corruption. Ourgovernment’s image has beentainted by corruption,” Karzai tolda press conference flanked by hiscontroversial vice presidentMohammad Qasim Fahim, who iswidely accused of rights abuses.

“We will strive, by any meanspossible, to eradicate this stain.”

Karzai was declared president foranother five years after the cancel-lation of a run-off ballot by thecountry’s election commission,which followed the withdrawal at

Karzai vows to wipe out corruption, forge unitythe weekend of his only challenger,Abdullah Abdullah.

The president said it would havebeen better for Afghanistan, which isrife with ethnic rivalry, to have votedin a second round following a fraud-tainted first election on August 20, andbemoaned Abdullah’s withdrawal.

Karzai has been urged by a num-ber of world leaders to ensure hisnext government can command thesupport of all the Afghan people.

“The future government will be agovernment that reflects all the peopleof Afghanistan ... We hope that no-one feels themselves isolated fromthis future government,” he said.

The 51-year-old president,whose warm relations with the Westhave cooled over corruption andspiralling insecurity, also urged hisTaliban “brothers” “to come homeand embrace their land”.

The Taliban insurgency is now atits deadliest, contributing to recordUS fatalities eight years since themilitia was driven out of Kabul by aUS-led invasion, paving the way forKarzai to take power.

The Islamists ridiculed Karzai asa “puppet” president, however, and

said his re-election without a sec-ond round showed the West wasdictating events.

“What is astonishing is twoweeks ago they were arguing thatthe puppet president Hamid Karzaiwas involved in electoral fraud...but now he is elected as presidentbased on those same fraudulentvotes, Washington and Londonimmediately send their congratu-lations,” said a Taliban statement.

Obama and UN chief Ban Ki-moon led world powers in con-gratulating Karzai, but the USpresident called for “a much moreserious effort to eradicate corrup-tion” and a “new chapter” in coop-eration between the two countries.

“This has to be (the) point intime in which we begin to writea new chapter based on improvedgovernance,” Obama said he hadtold Karzai in a phone call.

Karzai “assured me that he un-derstood the importance of this mo-ment but... the truth is not going tobe in words, it’s going to be indeeds”, added Obama who is to de-cide whether to deploy thousandsmore troops in the coming weeks.

BEIJING - A court in ChinaTuesday sentenced the “godmother”of an organised crime gang to 18years in jail after a sensational trialwhich gripped the nation with luridtales of sex and corruption.

The ruling by a municipal court inChongqing was the latest in a seriesof trials stemming from a huge crack-down on the underworld in the south-western city of more than 30 million.

“Godmother” Xie Caiping, 46,allegedly ran 20 illegal gamblingdens in hotels, nightclubs and teahouses, was involved in illegal drugactivity, and bribed police to turn ablind eye to her crimes, earlier pressreports said.


SYDNEY - Twelve peoplewere feared dead on Tuesday morethan 24 hours after an unidentifiedboat sank in rough seas far offAustralia’s northwest an officialsaid.

One body had been recoveredand 11 people were still missingin the remote spot 2,700kilometres (1,700 miles) fromAustralia’s mainland, a customsspokeswoman told AFP. Some 27survivors had been picked up bya passing tanker.

Authorities have not confirmedwhether the 39 people on thestricken boat, which went downovernight on Sunday, were bid-ding to join the more than 1,700asylum-seekers who have madethe perilous voyage to Australiathis year.

“Obviously, considering theamount of time they’ve been inthe water, there are concerns fortheir safety. But we’ll keep look-ing,” the customs official said ofthe missing.

Choppy seas continued to ham-per the search by the Bahamas-registered LNG Pioneer, which di-verted to the scene after a plea byAustralian authorities and hasnow been joined by a Japanesefishing boat.

Most of the casualties occurred inone passenger coach of the train,which was coming from the easterncity of Lahore, he said.

Mafia ‘godmother’ jailed in ChinaXie, who reportedly drove a

Mercedes-Benz, owned severalluxury villas and kept a stable of 16young men to provide her with sexualservices.

Xie is the sister-in-law of theformer head of Chongqing’s judi-ciary, Wen Qiang, who is at the cen-tre of the crackdown. She was alsofined 1.02 million yuan (150,000dollars), said the verdict, posted onthe court’s website.

Twenty-one other suspects weresentenced along with Xie to jail termsranging from one to 13 years, thecourt said.

Luo Xuan, 29, who reportedly wasXie’s lover, was sentenced to four-and-a-half-years in jail for his rolein the syndicate, it said.

The former vice director of aChongqing public security precinct,Guo Sheng, and policeman GanYong were sentenced to 13 and 12years in prison respectively for ac-cepting bribes and offering Xie pro-tection, it added.

Last month, courts sentenced sixpeople to death in the Chongqingorganised crime trials.

as a major political issue in Aus-tralia with a new poll suggestingPrime Minister Kevin Rudd’s han-dling of this year’s sudden influxhas not been popular with voters.

The latest Newspoll showedsupport for the opposition coalitiondrawing level with the ruling La-bor Party, at 41 percent each, forthe first time since Rudd becameparty leader in December 2006.

Rudd has come under fire forhis so-called “Indonesian Solu-tion” of giving financial aid tohelp Jakarta intercept Australia-bound asylum-seekers, despite itspoor detention facilities and fail-ure to sign the UN refugees con-vention.

Some 78 Sri Lankans rescuedby an Australian ship remain inlimbo after refusing to disembarkin Indonesia, following a similarcontroversy involving about 250asylum-seekers stopped byJakarta at Canberra’s request.

Rudd, who has also been ac-cused of encouraging asylum-seekers by relaxing Australia’sprevious tough stance, defendedhis government’s immigrationpolicy late on Monday.

“It’s tough and hardline onpeople smugglers, it’s humane onasylum seekers, that is a respon-sible policy in the national inter-est,” he told public broadcasterABC.

“I understand that it won’t nec-essarily be popular. People fromthe right of politics won’t like it,people from the left of politicswon’t like it, but my job is to geton with the business of doing it.”

One of the alleged conspiratorsrefers to “RI-1”, a nickname forYudhoyono, as being a backer ofmoves to “close down” the KPK.

Yudhoyono has angrily deniedany involvement in a plot against thecommission and has ordered policeto investigate the tapes.

But he has stopped short of de-fending the arrested KPK officials,Chandra Hamzah and Bibit SamadRiyanto, saying he has faith in thepolice and must allow the “legal pro-cess” to run its course.

A lawyer for Chandra and Bibitsaid the wiretaps demonstrated the“systematic engineering” of the caseagainst his clients, who are behindbars facing charges of extortion andabuse of power.

“This is what I call a scandal oflaw enforcement in Indonesia. Bibitand Chandra have to be freed to-night, otherwise it’s cruel,” he toldreporters outside the court after thefour hours of recordings had beenplayed.

Yudhoyono announced the estab-lishment of a fact-finding team tolook into the saga, but analysts andeven some members of the new rul-ing coalition immediately dismissedthe panel as a white-washing exer-cise.

“This could not have been aworse start to Yudhoyono’s second andconstitutionally final term in office,”The Jakarta Post said in an editorial.

“The episode has damaged not onlythe image and reputation of the nationalpolice, but increasingly that of Presi-dent Yudhoyono. Why he is aloof inspite of the public sentiment is baffling.”

Hilman Rosyad Syihab, of the Is-lam-based Prosperous Justice Partywhich is a key member of Yudhoyono’scoalition, said the fact-finding teamwould fail.

“Indonesians in these countries are working in appallingconditions because they are not being treated justly. Manyof them become victims of violence and live in conditionsbelow minimum welfare standards,” he said.

After the repatriations, the government will cease dis-patching migrant workers to these countries. “In some ofthe Middle Eastern countries, the rate of violations by em-ployers against migrant workers is quite high,” the ministersaid. He admitted that Indonesia’s working relations withMiddle Eastern countries in manpower matters were “notso good” so that when a problem involving a migrant workerarose it was difficult to solve it properly.

The government would in the days ahead correct themany weaknesses that existed in the current migrant work-ers’ recruitment and placement systems, he said.

“Improvements will in the first place have to make in therecruitment and training systems, provision of health ser-vices, transportation to airports and eventually in the work-ers’ protection in destination countries to prevent the recur-rence of abuses,” Iskandar said.

International society criticize dog elimination program(WSPA), also stated that animal loversabroad are very concern with the con-dition in Bali.

“Actually, Australia is ready togive assistance in giving vaccine to thedogs through AusAid program but theremust not any dog elimination like now,”she added. The international recommen-dation to prevent rabies is giving vac-cine to the dogs and not eliminates them.The program is suitable with the prin-cipal of animal welfare.

Janice said that she totally under-stands with the steps done by Bali’s

Government but the government alsoshould consider other steps such as giv-ing vaccine. The manpower and fundneeded to give vaccine is less than do-ing dogs elimination.

There is also proves that elimina-tion could not completely prevent thespread of rabies. For example in Ma-dras, India where there were no reportsof rabies cases for two years after vac-cination conducted in the area.

She also said that it is impossiblefor the government to kill more than500,000 dogs and if it conducted then

there will be new problems occur. Theincreasing population of rats could hap-pen if the dogs decrease.

Usually, the dogs eat the left-over of foods and offerings but if thedogs decrease then the rats that alsoeat the same food will increase be-cause there is less competition. Janiceexplained that if the governmentwanted some assistance, the associa-tion could help in giving vaccinationto dogs. BAWA can give vaccinationto 300 dogs in a day.

“We already give vaccination toseveral dogs in Bali. The price of thevaccine is cheaper than the price of thetoxic to kill the dogs,” she added. Thevaccine for dogs is also cheaper thanthe vaccine for human. Based on thedata from Sanglah Hospital, the vac-cine for one person cost approximately1 million rupiah. It could be comparedto the dog vaccine which only cost17,000 rupiah. If 70% of the dogs inBali already given vaccine then Bali aresecure from rabies.

ZURICH - Swiss banking giantUBS on Tuesday plunged into furtherlosses during the third quarter as cli-ents spooked by tax scrutiny withdrewbillions of dollars of funds and assetsfrom the bank.

The bank said in a statement thatits net loss for the three months endingSeptember 30 reached 564 millionfrancs (373 million euros, 552 milliondollars), largely hit by credit charges.

On October 22 the Fed re-leased recommendations calling forbanks to ensure their compensationpolices “do not undermine thesafety and soundness of their orga-nizations.”

The proposed rules, still inprovisional form and subject tocomment, are part of an effort totoughen supervision to avoid a re-currence of the near-meltdown ofthe financial system last year.

Lavish pay and bonuses at fi-nancial institutions are blamed forencouraging excessive risk takingthat fueled the global credit crisisthat brought the US financial sectorto the brink of collapse a year ago.

The Fed proposed that its su-pervisors review 28 large, complexbanking organizations to determinewhether their policies are in linewith its principles for risk-appro-priate compensation incentives.

The Fed would incorporate thereview findings into the bankingorganization’s supervisory ratings.

In certain cases, the centralbank “may require” an organizationto develop a corrective action planto address unsatisfactory compen-sation policies.

“These actions support the thirdpillar of our One Ford plan — fi-nance the plan and improve our bal-ance sheet,” said Alan Mulally,Ford’s president and chief executive.

“We expect the moves will en-hance Ford’s automotive liquidityand over time reduce the company’sdebt burden, providing an additionalcushion given the still uncertain stateof the economy.”

Ford’s debt load after four yearsof restructuring has hit 26.9 billiondollars.

Ford has also managed to im-prove its cash position to 23.8 bil-lion dollars, based on results re-ported Monday.

UBS piles up losses, clients withdraw assets amid tax scrutinyoutflow of funds.

Customers withdrew assetsamounting to 36.7 billion francs overthe quarter, bringing the total outflowsover the first nine months of the yearto 91.1 billion francs.

The outflows were particularlymarked in the United States, where thebank agreed in August to disclose de-tails of 4,450 accounts in order to staveoff potentially damaging tax fraudcharges brought by US authorities.

The bank had admitted in an ear-lier case to abetting tax cheats in theUnited States and paid 780 million dol-

lars in fines. “In relation to US cross border cli-

ents, we only see outflows,” UBS chieffinancial officer John Cryan told jour-nalists.

The bank’s Wealth ManagementAmericas unit booked 9.9 billion francsin outflows in the third quarter, up from5.8 billion francs in the second quarter.

Cryan attributed the outflows tothe “tighter scrutiny” from tax authori-ties as well as to a “reputational issue”that UBS was struggling to overcome.

“We don’t see at present a veryearly return to positive inflows. We’restill executing the exit from US cross-border business,” said Cryan.

“Generally there is clearly a re-sidual reputational issue we need toface, there is a morale issue among ourclient advisers, there has been a tighterscrutiny of tax matters, that’s not help-ing value creation. In the economy thereis a lower level of wealth creation,” headded.

Cryan also said that for domesticSwiss clients, outflows would not stopuntil the bank shows that it is profit-able again.

The Zurich-based bank, one of thebiggest losers in the global financialcrisis, has been struggling to recoveraftre it plunged deep into loss.

While several other internationalbanks have posted sharp profits for thequarter, UBS’s latest result marked itsfourth quarterly loss in a row.

Overall, the bank said it expectedto “see further progress in restoring theunderlying profitability of the businessin future quarters, particularly in 2010.”

It added that fourth quarter resultsof its investment bank unit, which hasbeen blamed for dragging the bankdown during the crisis, should reflectthe “early stage of its recovery.”

Analysts at Bank Wegelin said thatthe net new money outflows, and the

signs that they would not improve, would“frighten investors away.”

“The only constant in terms of netnew money are bad signs,” it added.

The bank’s share price on ther SwissMarket Index (SMI) opened down 3.86percent at 16.68 francs.

It was 1898, when laborers from India and local na-tives building the Uganda Railroad across Kenya be-came the prey for the pair, a case that has been the sub-ject of numerous accounts and at least three movies.The death toll had been estimated at 28 railway work-ers and “scores of unfortunate African natives,” withthe total ranging as high as 135. Delay of the railroadwas even subject to debate in Britain’s House of Com-mons. Scientists hoping to figure out the actual numberof people eaten decided to study the remains of the twomale lions, now on display at the Field Museum ofNatural History in Chicago, testing the types of carbonand nitrogen in their teeth and hair.

Those chemical ratios were compared with the car-bon and nitrogen found in modern lions in the region, inlions’ normal prey animals and in humans. Bones andteeth store carbon and nitrogen isotopes over long peri-ods, while the ratios in hair change more rapidly, allow-ing the scientists to determine the long-term diet and howit changed in the lions’ last months. Humans made up atleast half of the diet of one of the lions in the last monthsof his life, consuming at least 24 people, they concluded.The other lion had eaten 11 people, they found.

LOS ANGELES – The population of endangered green sea turtles atSeaWorld in San Diego grew by 82 in October when the eggs hatchedon Shipwreck Beach without human help. There hasn’t been such happyturtle news at SeaWorld since 2003, when 21 sea turtles got an assistfrom park staff, said Tim Downing, assistant curator of fishes.

This time, the park let nature take its course and didn’t incubate theeggs. The babies started poking through their ping pong-sized eggs onOct. 5. Since then, they have been getting a diet of squid, krill, shrimpand special pellets. The birth of the baby turtles was announced Mon-day. Downing said they are in excellent health and should go on displayat the park before the end of the year.

It will be up to the National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service to determine whether the new turtles stay atSeaWorld and whether they will allow the turtles to mate again nextyear, he said. SeaWorld has 30 adult sea turtles in its collection, includ-ing three green females and one male. They have all been at the parksince the 1960s so they are around 40 or 50 years old, or middle age forthe creatures, which live to be well past 100 years.

WASHINGTON – The nightly attacks by two man-eating lions terrified railway workers and broughtconstruction to a halt in one of east Africa’s most notorious onslaughts more than a hundred years ago. Butthe death toll, scientists now say, wasn’t as high as previously thought. Over nine months the two voracioushunters claimed 35 lives — no small figure, but much less than some accounts of as many as 135 victims.

SHANGHAI – Doug Barron, a 40-year-old journeyman who lost his tourcard three years ago, became the firstplayer to be suspended by the PGA Tourfor testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. Barron has beensuspended for one year. He played eightfull seasons on the tour, with his best fin-ish a tie for third at the Byron NelsonChampionship in 2006.

“I would like to apologize for anynegative perception of the tour or its play-ers resulting from my suspension,” Barronsaid in a statement released by the PGATour on Monday. “I want my fellow tourmembers and the fans to know that I didnot intend to gain an unfair competitiveadvantage or enhance my performancewhile on tour.” Barron could not bereached for comment, and his agent didnot immediately respond to a voicemail.

The news was greeted with shockat the HSBC Champions, a World GolfChampionship event in China that hasattracted several of the world’s best play-ers. “I’m surprised to hear that,” BritishOpen champion Stewart Cink said. “Iknow him a little bit. He’s taken medi-cine in the past for a lot of different rea-sons. I would think that has a lot to dowith it.” Barron played a full Nation-wide schedule last year, making onlyfive cuts in 17 starts to earn $33,446.He played four times on the NationwideTour this year, and his lone PGA Tourstart came at the St. Jude Classic, wherehe missed the cut.

Doug Barron is 1st to violatePGA Tour drug policy

The tour, which announced the sus-pension about two hours before the WorldGolf Hall of Fame induction ceremony,said it would have no further comment.Under its doping policy, the tour an-nounces a suspension but does not disclosewhat substance a player used. That leftplayers wondering what Barron took thatwas on the list of banned substances, al-though they were skeptical it was anythingto give him any kind of an advantage.

The last time Barron made news wasin 2006 at what is now the TransitionsChampionship outside Tampa, Fla., wherehe removed his shirt to play a shot out ofthe water on the 16th hole at Innisbrook.He exposed an ample belly on television,drawing jokes from players.

“I don’t believe it,” Rod Pamplingsaid. “Doug Barron? Look at the man.Tell him to take his shirt off and ask any-one, ‘Do you believe he’s on perfor-mance-enhancing drugs?’” The tour didnot start random testing until July 2008,which includes its second-tier Nation-wide Tour. Barron’s most recent tourna-ment was in September at the MexicoOpen, co-sanctioned by the NationwideTour, where he missed the cut.

Jerry Kelly said he has known Barronfor years and also said he had severalhealth issues. “My big question iswhether he was doing something to makehimself feel better and did not get thetherapeutic use exemption,” Kelly said.“I mean, this guy had health problems. Iwas shocked when I heard, but I alsounderstand knowing that he was tryingto feel better.”

Beckham re-signs on loan with AC Milanwould once again stay at the San Siro from January toJune. “We are very happy to see David Beckham backin the red and black shirt after the splendid experiencewe had with him last season,” said Milan chief execu-tive Adriano Galliani.

“We’re sure that this spell in Europe will help himto take part in the next World Cup and then continue hiscareer at Los Angeles Galaxy, whom we thank for theirhelp.” Beckham’s initial move to Milan in January thisyear was tinged with controversy, after the right-sidedmidfielder opted to extend his three-month loan dealinto the summer rather than return to California.

Booed to begin with upon his return, he has sincerepaired his reputation with the club’s fans by leadingthe Galaxy into the play-offs. Beckham has mainly beenused as a substitute by England coach Fabio Capello,who nonetheless seems likely to offer him a place inEngland’s 23-man World Cup squad. Milan made a poorstart to the season but a recent run of good form hasseen them rise to fourth in the Serie A table, while theyare well placed to qualify for the knockout phase of theChampions League after a 3-2 victory at Real Madridin their last match in the competition.

“Of course we wish we couldscore four or five goals in every singlegame, but we must realise that some-times that is not the way football isand sometimes to win the games, youjust have to not make mistakes andwork hard to keep the ball better. Butit is always hard to go away in theChampions League and get a result,so we cannot be too disappointed withthe draw against AZ. Another posi-tive is that we are scoring goals, andthat is the hardest thing to do in foot-ball, which says a lot about us. Buton the days when we can’t scoremore, we need to kill the game off inother ways, by passing the ball moreand keeping possession.”

If Wenger’s team - unbeaten intheir last 11 matches - can reproducethe breath-taking play that destroyedSpurs on Saturday, they should de-feat Alkmaar and move within touch-ing distance of making the last 16 forthe 10th consecutive season.Saturday’s 1-0 win against Groningenwas only Alkmaar’s second successin five matches and Ronald Koeman’steam remain 14 points behind Dutchleague leaders FC Twente. Wengerbelieves the key to Arsenal’s successon Wednesday, and for the rest of theseason, could hinge on Robin vanPersie’s ability to maintain his cur-rent superb form.

Van Persie, 26, is thriving in his

new role at the centre of Arsenal’sthree-man attack - scoring seventimes in his last seven games - andhis two goals against Spurs movedWenger to describe the Dutch for-ward as a worthy successor to Arse-nal legends Thierry Henry and Den-nis Bergkamp. “He is the kind ofplayer, with the type of game we play,who is vital because when you play

the ball to his feet his first touch isalways perfect and that allows othersto join in,” Wenger said. “It makeseverybody dangerous. In the box heis clever and intelligent.” AlthoughDenmark striker Nicklas Bendtnerfaces a month on the sidelines with agroin injury, Wenger’s attacking op-tions should be stronger than everagainst AZ.

Well aware that it was always going to be on the back foot with its car,Ferrari took the decision mid-campaign to shift all its focus onto its 2010design – which has now made it bullish about its prospects for next year.When asked by AUTOSPORT for the reasons why the team feels confi-dent about its chances for next season, team principal Stefano Domenicalisaid: “The confidence comes from the fact that we don’t see any loopholein the regulation that can be considered, I would say, legal. Now things arelegal full stop. No discussions and we can look ahead always.

“We also did the choice that Ross [Brawn] did with Honda two yearsago, to concentrate all the efforts into the new project. I think the reasonwe did something different to McLaren was because our car was struc-tured so as to not to develop the double diffuser. It was blocked, and thatis why we said we don’t have to do work here, because it will not carryon next year. That is why, looking at the numbers we have in the windtunnel, I am positive now. With my feet on the ground - but for surepositive.”

Although Ferrari missed out on third place in the Constructors’ Cham-pionship by just one point to rival McLaren, Domenicali has praisedthe fighting spirit of his team for its effort over what was a hard season.“We had the spirit and we are used to getting out with the Ferrari spiritand the Ferrari resources, and that is what we have to learn this year,”he said.

“It was of course a difficult season, but you have to look at the situationthis year and what happened. I think for sure on the technical side, thechampionship was in a way steered with the double diffuser situation atthe beginning. That, for us, [meant] we had to work on the car without thatkind of structure and it was difficult to catch up. We knew it, and this is thereason why – considering what we saw when we did the first step of devel-opment, we took the very difficult decision to say in the middle of July,look let’s stop work on this car and work for next season.”

ROSS Brawn has praised RubensBarrichello’s contribution at theBrawn team following the confirma-tion that the Brazilian will leave thesquad. Barrichello, the most expe-rienced driver in F1 history, finishedin third place in the standings thisyear, having scored two wins asBrawn went on to take both titles.

Ferrari: Diffuser row costly for teamAbu Dhabi - Ferrari believes its 2009 season was wrecked by

the row over double diffusers - but says total rules clarity fornext year means there is no reason it cannot be back fighting forthe title. The Maranello-based team did not initially adopt thedouble-diffuser concept used by Brawn GP, Williams and Toyotaat the start of the season – and it struggled to integrate it onto itsF60 once the FIA ruled it totally legal.

for Brawn GP and I am extremelyproud of the spirit in which our driv-ers Rubens and Jenson fought for theDrivers’ Championship.”

“Rubens contributed hugely toour success in the Constructors’Championship with two great victo-ries in Valencia and Monza alongwith numerous podiums and he wasa pleasure to work with. We wishRubens the very best with his newteam and thank him for his contri-bution to Brawn GP this year.”
