Fans and friendsshocked over AmyWinehouse death

Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Amy Winehouse releasedonly two albums in her life, one of whichsold more than a million copies, won fiveGrammys and sparked a retro soul movementthat hasn’t yet stopped.

The small output, in inverse relation to heroutsized talent, made her death Saturday inLondon all the more tragic. Fans will onlybe able to imagine the unrecorded singles,the never-to-be concerts and the comebackalbum that didn’t come.

It’s a sadly familiar script in pop music, thehistory of which is checkered with greats andwould-be greats snuffed out too early in life.

Almost as soon as news of Winehouse’sdeath broke and spread across social media,fans were inducting her into the unfortunatepantheon of music talents gone too soon.Many noted that Winehouse, 27, shared the

Speaking in Bali, Indonesia,where China and the Association ofSoutheast Asian nations took a firststep toward establishing a bindingcode of conduct for the South ChinaSea last week, Clinton said that dan-gerous incidents were on the rise.She said the international commu-nity has a vested interest in endingthem because they threaten the sta-bility, economic growth and pros-perity of the entire Asia-Pacific.

The British singer-songwriter Billy Bragg,though, realized that a meaningful common-ality was being mistaken for coincidence.

“It’s not age that Hendrix, Jones, Joplin,Morrison, Cobain & Amy have in common,”wrote Bragg on Twitter. “It’s drug abuse,sadly.”

Mangupura (Bali Post)—Badung Livestock, Fisheries and Maritime Agency (Disnakanlut)

is waiting for the instruction of Badung Regent to make coordinativemeeting with relevant agencies in relation to the coastal arrangementof Kuta, Legian and Seminyak. According to the plan, arrangement ofthe three coastal territories will be submitted to society as implementedon the three other beaches.

This matter was disclosed by the Head of Badung Livestock, Fish-ery and Maritime Agency, I Made Badra, Friday (Jul 22). He said thatbased on the Law No. 27/2010 concerning with the management ofcoastal territory and small islands and then followed by PresidentialInstruction, the coastal territories could be empowered for publicwelfare. In Badung, according to the Regent’s Decree, Badra wasappointed Chairman in coordination with relevant agencies.

According to him, up to these days, there had been Kedonganan,Jimbaran and Kelan Beach whose arrangement was entrusted to localcommunity. In the future, all beaches in Badung would be treatedequally. “The accomplished arrangement was made on Kedonganan,Jimbaran and Kelan Beach. Meanwhile, Kuta, Legian and SeminyakBeach are waiting for the time of leadership for coordinative meet-ing,” he said.

Regarding to the risk of infringement against Regional Regulationdue to arrangement of coastal territory, Badra quibbled there had beenspecial rules in Government Regulation. He gave an example aboutthe matter of coastal boundary lines. According to him, it did not onlystipulate to make the region free of buildings. However, there wereparticular exceptions to what extent was allowed and in this regardgovernment would make coordination with the community.

“For the arrangement of coastal territory made tourism icon shouldget priority handling. Do not let the beaches be left unorganizedbecause their potential was actually very high for tourism promo-tion, increasing income and employment opportunities for the com-munity,” he added. (kmb25)

Spokesperson of Bangli Police,Ida I Dewa Nyoman Rai, with per-mission from Bangli Police Chief ex-plained that in the clash between ur-ban residents and Songan residentshis party had identified five suspects.Three previous suspects were fromSongan, while two others fromKawan Hamlet, Bangli. From perpe-trators coming from Kawan Hamlethad been secured two pieces of sword,one drum cover along with someother evidences such as clothing ofthe perpetrators.

Both had been secured in BangliPolice Headquarters for further inves-tigation process. They were snaredwith article 170, paragraph 2 to 3 ofCriminal Code with a subsidiary ofthe Emergency Act No. 12/1951 withmaximal penalty of 12 years in prison.

The clash case downtown Banglikilling a victim and injuring dozensof people was still being developed.So far, his party had just been exam-ining about 13 witnesses. Possibly,examination of witnesses would con-tinue to grow.

Denpasar (Bali Post)—Government policies only allocat-

ing two percent budget of the totalRegional Budget for agricultural sec-tor are hard to bring Bali to rice self-sufficiency. Moreover, in the whole,more budgets are allocated for regu-lar activities of regional apparatusunit (SKPD) than for the needs offarmers in the field. “So far, morebudgets for agricultural field wereearmarked for labor cost than di-rectly for the needs of community.On that account, at least if Bali Gov-ernment wants to pay serious atten-tion to agricultural sector, the bud-get should be increased minimally 7to 10 percent of the Regional Bud-get,” said Chairman of KTNA Bali,Made Suparsa, when contacted byBali Post on Friday (Jul 22).

According to him, so far thereseemed no balance among the localgovernments in respective regency ofBali, especially in terms of budget al-located for agricultural sector. “So far,the reality in the field indicated if therewas funding assistance from central

Having arrested three attackers from Songan Kintamani in blooded clashes on Tuesday night,Bangli Police also enacted two suspects from Kawan Hamlet, Bangli. Of the 13 witnesses exam-ined, KM A alias PG, 40, and Ketut AW, 37, from Kawan Hamlet, Bangli, were arrested bypolice on Friday (Jul 22).

Regarding to security guard in-volving the Mass Control Unit ofBangli, Klungkung, Gianyar andKarangasem Police was still beingundertaken. Similarly, the MobileBrigade unit of Bali Police togetherwith barracuda police tactical vehiclewas still alerted to anticipate any in-conveniences.

Meanwhile, the Head of BangliHouse, IB Raka Mudarma, expectedthat no party would take advantageof the situation and blame each otheron the incident. Both regency govern-ment and security authorities haddone their maximal efforts. The bestmeasure at the moment was that bothparties embraced each other and wentback to normal activities for maintain-ing the interfaith harmony and fellowcommunity of Bangli. Such an inci-dent should be made a lesson for allparties. Otherwise, all parties wouldsuffer and incur losses.

The community was also appealednot to easily trust various provocativeissues or text messaging (SMS) orother news because there was a lot of

information circulating in the com-munity after the incident. Possibly, itwas aimed at making uneasy thewhole community, including bothparties in disputes. To that end, thecommunity of Bangli was expectedto be calm while jointly creating andmaintaining the security and stabil-ity in Bangli.

Mediation initiated by governmentto resolve the problem should bepromptly undertaken. By doing so,the name of Bangli would not be dis-graceful in the eyes of internationalcommunity. Moreover, due to thecase the name of Bangli could turnnegative until drawing the attentionof the president.

“Dear Bangli residents, let’sthink positively and do not criticizeone other. It’s a pity because of thecase all people turn afraid, espe-cially school children did not dareto go to school and traders arehaunted by fear. It had an incred-ible impact on the economic viabil-ity and the education of children inBangli,” he said. (kmb17)

government, the agricultural budgetof regency and provincial governmentautomatically faltered,” he said.

Aside from the problems of lowagricultural budget obtained by farm-ers in person, Made Suparsa alsohighlighted that a number of effortsmade by Department of Agriculturewere not maximal, especially in re-alizing the food self-sufficiency ofBali. In addition, the challengesfaced by agriculture of Bali were likeanomalies of recent erratic weather,pests (mice and leafhoppers) result-ing in the decline in agriculturalproducts as well as skyrocketingprices of agricultural goods.

Furthermore, he said, Bali cur-rently had the potential of rice fieldamounting to 85,000 hectares only,and it was considered unable to givemajor contribution to agricultural de-velopment. In reality, during the har-vest season this year, farmers com-plained about their crops that onlyreached the range of 3.5 to 4 tons perhectare. “We acknowledge the effortsof agricultural agencies to overcome

the pest attack carried out by masshunting system, free pest eradicationand ritual approach, but all pest con-trols did not work properly. As con-sequence, Bali will remain shortageof food, especially rice,” he said.

On the other hand, Made Suparsaalso judged if farmers seemed to havebeen made like an object of research’sresults and were slightly forced.“Government often provides subsi-dies in the form of seed and fertilizerfor farmers. However, their qualityand resistance to disease have notbeen tested considering the topog-raphy of respective regency is dif-ferent,” he said. In addition, his partyexpected government particularlythe agricultural agency and the fieldtechnical personnel to continuouslyprovide guidance, one of which wasabout cropping pattern.

“No matter how great the seedand fertilizer applied in the field, ifthe pest eradication efforts have notbeen completely successful, thenBali will stay to live through short-ages of foodstuff,” he said. (bit)

RIGA, Latvia — Latvians voted to sack their Parlia-ment in a historic referendum Saturday as the recession-weary country attempts to dismantle a culture of graftexisting between politics and business. With some 73percent of ballots counted, 94.7 percent of voters sup-ported the legislature’s dissolution, according to CentralElection Commission data early Sunday, setting the stagefor a snap parliamentary election in September.

It was the first such referendum since the Baltic coun-try of 2.2 million people broke away from the SovietUnion 20 years ago.

The dissolution is a victory for Valdis Zatlers, theman who risked his presidency — and lost it — whenhe called for the referendum in May after lawmakersblocked an anti-corruption probe involving lawmaker,Ainars Slesers, who is known for his cozy relations withbusinessmen.

The following week lawmakers struck back by re-jecting Zatlers’ re-election bid and instead installed chal-lenger Andris Berzins to the presidency. Zatlers couldbe vindicated again in the upcoming election, since theparty he just formed — Zatlers’ Reform Party — ispoised for a strong showing in the upcoming election.

The party, which held its inaugural congress Satur-day, is tied for first place in opinion polls with the cen-ter-left Harmony Party Many Latvians share Zatlers’concerns that wealthy businessmen-politicians —known as oligarchs — have too much influence on law-making and the courts in the tiny country of 2.2 millionpeople.

Inara Slucka, who was headed to a voting stationSaturday, said she would vote for sacking legislators.“It’s a new opportunity to change the situation, to dosomething about corruption, which is problem numberone in Latvia,” she said. Prime Minister ValdisDombrovskis said he voted to boot Parliament, theSaeima, since a new election would be an “opportunityto ensure that forces supporting the rule-of-law wouldhave a majority” in a new legislature.

WENZHOU, China - Rescue workers dug through the tangled wreckage on Sunday after ahigh-speed train smashed into a stalled train in eastern China, killing at least 34 and seriouslyinjuring 12 in China’s deadliest train disaster since 2008. The crash happened on Saturdayafter one train lost power due to a lightning strike, and the bullet train behind crashed into it,state media said, raising new questions about the safety of the fast-growing rail network.

ies were in one of the carriagesthat was dangling beside thebridge. It was unclear how manypeople were on the trains at thetime of the accident.

In a small piece of good news,state television said rescuers hadpulled a 4-year-old boy alive fromthe wreckage. “The task for usnow is to clear the debris and alsoto check for survivors in those ar-eas that we have not gone to,” said35-year-old rescue worker WangJun. “Also, we are trying to getthe railway line to be operationalagain.”

Rail remains the most popularmethod of long-distance transportin China and trains are usually ex-tremely crowded, with long-dis-tance trains carrying as many as1,000 passengers. The reliability of

China’s railways has been calledinto question recently after theflagship Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail line suffered a series ofpower outages since it opened togreat fanfare a month ago.

Chinese Vice Premier ZhangDejiang arrived on the scene tohelp with the relief work and in-vestigation, state television re-ported. Chinese President HuJintao and Premier Wen Jiabaoalso called for all-out efforts torescue passengers and ordered tomake rescue work a priority, agovernment statement said.

China’s rail network has alsobeen hit by a series of scandals.Three railway officials havebeen investigated for corruptionthis year, according to localmedia reports.

“The rest of the world needs to weigh in because all of us have astake in ensuring that these disputes don’t get out of control,” Clintontold reporters at a joint news conference with Indonesian ForeignMinister Marty Natalegawa. “We ... urge that ASEAN move quickly,I would even add urgently, to adopt a code of conduct that will avoidany problems in the vital sea lanes and territorial waters of the SouthChina Sea.”

Clinton said increasing incidents of intimidation — such as theramming of boats and cutting of vessels’ cables — were ratcheting uptensions and raising the “cost of doing business for everyone whotravels through the South China Sea.”

“It is important for us to support freedom of navigation, unim-peded commerce, so there is no question as to the rights of everynation for its ships, its goods, to pass through the South China Sea,”she said.

Clinton was in Bali to attend Asia’s largest security conferenceahead of which China and ASEAN reached agreement on a declara-tion intended to pave the way for a code of conduct. But achievingthat goal is fraught with difficulty as China has for years rejectedsuch a formal mechanism, preferring to deal with individual coun-tries where its sheer size and strength gives it an advantage.

As she did at the conference on Saturday, Clinton urged all partiesto show restraint and to comply with international law. She said allclaimants should submit documentation establishing their claims con-sistent with the UN Convention of the Law of the Seas.

It’s a term, sometimes called the Forever 27 Club, that has spawned aWikipedia entry, an independent 2008 movie (“The 27 Club”), numerouswebsites and at least one book (“The 27s: The Greatest Myth of Rock &Roll”).

The causes of death vary. Jones, the Rolling Stones guitarist, was founddead at the bottom of his swimming pool in 1969 and was ruled dead “bymisadventure.” Hendrix, having mixed sleeping pills and wine, died in1970 in a London hotel room. Joplin, also in 1970, died in her Porsche inLos Angeles, with heroin suspected as the culprit. Morrison died of heartfailure in 1971 in the bathtub of his Paris apartment. Cobain killed himselfin 1994.

Some have claimed Cobain was aware of the so-called 27 Club. Afterhis death, his mother, Wendy O’Connor, was understandably fed up withthe concept, saying: “I told him not to join that stupid club.”

The cause of Winehouse’s death is not yet known. She long struggledwith drug and alcohol abuse. Last month, she canceled her European come-back tour after she swayed and slurred her way through barely recogniz-able songs in her first show in the Serbian capital, Belgrade. She flew home,and her management said she would take time off to recover.

What’s particular about Winehouse’s style of rock ‘n’ roll excess is thatit was chronicled thoroughly by the tabloids and news media and was ea-gerly consumed by readers. High-quality photographs captured her poorhealth, the scabs on her face and marks on her arms. Videos of her landedon the Internet, like one that showed her and Babyshambles singer PeteDoherty playing with newborn mice. Another showed her singing a racistditty to the tune of a children’s song. One, published by a tabloid newspa-per, appeared to show her smoking crack cocaine.

Her run-ins with the law — she was cautioned by the police in 2008 forassault and in 2010 pleaded guilty to assaulting a theater manager whoasked her to leave a family Christmas show because she’d had too much todrink — found headlines. So did her romances, such as her brief marriagein 2007 to music industry hanger-on Blake Fielder-Civil.

Rarely, though, were Winehouse’s troubles romantic or appealing.Though a thoroughly captivating presence — all beehive and tattoos andcandor — Winehouse always cut a desperate figure. Her struggles withsubstances and bipolar disorder (she said she declined to take medicationfor it) were painfully evident.

In death, her famous boast of “no, no, no” to rehab only sounds empty.The hard truths of addiction don’t fit neatly into pop tunes — or morbid 27Clubs — but play out over years of toil.

Early death typically mythologizes pop stars, inflating their reputation.Pop culture writer Chuck Klosterman, in his book “Killing Yourself toLive,” wondered why “the greatest career move any musician can make isto stop breathing.” The posthumous releases from Winehouse will surelyfollow, and her legacy will grow. But hopefully mythologizing will be re-sisted.

Winehouse’s death, an unfortunate but unsurprising end to a long, pub-lic decline, might be best remembered not just as another tragic loss but asa modern portrait of how untrue those rock myths really are.

JAKARTA - Google plans to open anoffice in Indonesia soon as it looks to tapthe country’s huge growth in Internet us-ers, the office of the country’s vice presi-dent said Friday.

The announcement came after talksbetween Eric Schmidt, chairman of theUS Internet giant, met Vice PresidentBoediono in Jakarta, a spokesman said.

“The Vice President and Google’schairman held a meeting where Googleexpressed their interest to invest here andopen a local office before 2012,” thespokesman Yopie Hidayat told Dow JonesNewswires.

However, he did not give an exact timeframe for opening. Of Indonesia’s popu-lation of more than 230 million, just 40million were connected to the Internet,making the country an attractive marketfor web firms.

A study by Google rival Yahoo! found

that Indonesia is the largest and fastestgrowing online market in Southeast Asia,with online usage growth of 48 percentin 2010, compared to 22 percent in 2009.

The country is also ranked third withthe most registered Facebook users —after the US and Britain — with morethan 22 million users.

“You already have large Facebookand Twitter communities. You have veryhigh Google use already,” he told report-ers after the meeting.

“There are 50 million small busi-nesses in Indonesia, I had no idea it wasthat large. Those (small businesses) willbe the engine of growth for the futureeconomy,” he added.

NUSA DUA - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sundayurged Indonesia to cut tariffs, saying trade between the two coun-tries lagged behind others in Southeast Asia.

we want to collaborate on ways toreduce tariffs and other barriers.”

Clinton on Saturday attended agathering of Southeast Asian entre-preneurs alongside Indonesian TradeMinister Mari Elka Pangestu, at theend of a hectic week of regional di-plomacy on the resort island of Bali.

She said Indonesia was a “natu-ral choice” for a summit of youngentrepreneurs, as a major democ-racy in a “dynamic region that isincreasingly at the heart of globalcommerce and growth”.

But she said its potential was be-ing tied down by red tape and legal

uncertainty.“The United States wants to work

with you to bring down these barri-ers,” she said.

“That means reducing the time ittakes to open a business here in thisregion... Improving the business cli-mate by protecting intellectual prop-erty rights.”

She cited rampant copyright piracyas a clear deterrent to innovation inIndonesia, a member of the G20 groupof rich and developing nations.

“If you come up with a good idea,it should be protected so that you canthen make the most of it and spin itoff into who knows where it mightgo,” she said.

At her meeting with Natalegawa,she noted Indonesian commitments toreduce its carbon emissions and saidthe United States wanted to work with

Jakarta to “spur sustainable growth”.She also looked ahead to President

Barack Obama’s visit to Indonesia —his childhood home for four years inthe late 1960s — for the East AsiaSummit in November.

Washington and Jakarta could usethe summit to advance their “mostimportant shared concerns” such asmaritime security, disaster readinessand nonproliferation, “includingworking toward a denuclearised Ko-rean peninsula”.

Clinton arrived in Bali on Thursdayto attend a series of meetings culmi-nating in the ASEAN Regional Forumsecurity dialogue on Saturday. Sheleaves for Hong Kong later Sunday.

Democratic role modelClinton is urging Indonesia to pro-

mote democracy in Myanmar and

countries in the Middle East andNorth Africa in the throes of up-heaval. She says its successful tran-sition from dictatorship and statusas a vibrant Muslim-majority de-mocracy make it an ideal rolemodel for both Myanmar and theArab world.

In meetings with senior Indo-nesian officials on Sunday in Bali,Clinton said the country’s recenthistory “provides an example fora transition to civilian rule andbuilding strong democratic institu-tions.” She said Indonesia hasmade significant strides towarddemocracy and shown that Islamand democracy can co-exist.

Indonesia is the world’s mostpopulous Muslim nation andemerged from decades of authoritar-ian rule just over 10 years ago.

DENPASAR - The number ofmotorized vehicle in Bali is inkeeping with the rate of popula-tion growth. Until the first se-mester of 2011, the Island of theGods holds approximately2,217,217 units of motorized ve-hicles including motorcycles thatreached 2,016,301 units. Thenumber is more than half of thepopulation estimated to reach 4million people.

Assistant I of Bali RegionalSecretary, I Gusti MadeSunendra, said so in inaugurat-ing an automotive outlet in Sanurrecently. If associated with thearea of Bali Province, the num-ber of motorized vehicles hadbeen quite a lot, even had led toa negative impact.

“The number of motorized ve-hicle in Bali is quite a lot. It isfeared to result in negative im-pact on the environment which inturn will affect human health.However, this can be minimizedby provision of maximal aftersales service to consumers andenvironmental protection pro-grams,” he said.

According to him, Bali hadlaunched Green Province pro-gram comprising three basicstrategies, namely Green Culture,

Green Economic as well asClean and Green Bali. This pro-gram had received positive re-sponses from various parties in-cluding central government. Ithad been realized through someactivities such as reforestation,arrangement of green openspaces, making biopore, wastemanagement, control againstpollution and greenhouse effectas well as other measures.

“We request active participa-tion of the automotive entrepre-neurs and dealers to real supportvarious programs of Bali GreenProvince a in the rescue andpreservation of the environmentin Bali,” he said.

It was said the role of auto-motive business would have abroad impact not only on thepeople of Bali, but also on tour-ism industry. Meanwhile, theeconomic development of Baliregion in 2011 was directed tothree main sectors namely tour-ism, agriculture in its broadestsense as well as small industriesand handicrafts.

“The development of Bali’seconomy based on the three sec-tors will run properly as long assupported by adequate infra-structure such as roads, airports,ports, environment and a decentnumber of vehicles in terms of

quality and quantity,” he said.Meanwhile, the Head of Bali

Transportation, Communicationand Informatics, I Made Santha,previously stated that within thepast five years, the number ofmotorized vehicles in Bali rosesharply to nearly two-fold. Sucha rapid increase virtually hap-pened to all types of vehicles, butthe most prominent accretion wasin the number of motorcycle.

“The number of vehicles op-erating in Bali, especially privatecars and motorcycles, causes thetraffic in this region verycrowded, even making trafficcongestion at rush hours,” he ex-plained.

His party was working hard torestructure the mass transporta-tion system, in the hope it coulddiminish the number of motor-cycles and private cars on publicroads. The arrangement was un-dertaken by designing the smoothpublic transportation system infour regencies/city namely in cityof Denpasar, Badung, Gianyarand Tabanan Regency.

“It requires the awareness andsupport of all components of com-munity because so far all publictransportation systems are less de-sirable by community and theymostly use private vehicles, eithermotorcycle or car,” he added. (par)

DALLAS — Airlines are tossing consumers aside and grabbing the ben-efit of lower federal taxes on travel tickets.

By Saturday night, nearly all the major U.S. airlines had raised fares tooffset taxes that expired the night before.

That means instead of passing along the savings, the airlines are pocket-ing the money while customers pay the same amount as before.

American, United, Continental, Delta, US Airways, Southwest, AirTranand JetBlue all raised fares, although details sometimes differed. Most ofthe increases were around 7.5 percent.

For consumers who wanted to shop around, only a few airlines were stillpassing the tax break on to passengers Saturday night, including VirginAmerica, Frontier Airlines and Alaska Airlines.

The expiring taxes can total $25 or more on a typical $300 round-tripticket. They died after midnight Friday night when Congress failed to passlegislation to keep the Federal Aviation Administration running.

That gave airlines a choice: They could do nothing — and pass the sav-ings to customers — or grab some of the money themselves.

“We adjusted prices so the bottom-line price of a ticket remains the sameas it was before ... expiration of federal excise taxes,” said American spokes-man Tim Smith. US Airways spokesman John McDonald said much thesame thing — passengers will pay the same amount for a ticket as they didbefore the taxes expired.

They declined to say whether the increases would be rescinded if Con-gress revives the travel taxes.

Tom Parsons, who runs the Bestfares.com travel website, said consum-ers should get the tax break.

“Why would the airlines deserve it?” he said. “They already hit us withenough fees. Now they’re keeping the government fees too.”

The Transportation Department says it will lose $200 million a weekuntil Congress restores the taxes. J.P. Morgan analyst Jamie Baker said air-lines could take in an extra $25 million a day by raising fares during the taxholiday. That’s a tempting sum for airlines that have struggled against highjet fuel costs for most of the last three years.

Some airlines that didn’t raise fares sought to turn the controversy totheir advantage. Spirit Airlines said it would pass tax savings on to consum-ers while rivals “have not been so generous.” It warned travelers that Con-gress could end the tax holiday at any time, so book a flight quickly.

Virgin America hawked tickets with the slogan, “Evade taxes. Take flight.”For a September trip between Dallas and San Francisco, Virgin Americawas $7 to $24 cheaper than United, Continental and American.

Southwest Airlines and its AirTran subsidiary raised prices by $8 perround trip, said spokeswoman Marilee McInnis.

Southwest’s price hike gave valuable cover to other airlines. Southwestcarries more U.S. passengers than anyone, and it effectively sets rates onmany routes. Southwest torpedoed attempts by other airlines to raise pricesin the last two weeks.

Earlier this year, Southwest went along as airlines raised ticket prices ahalf-dozen times. That, along with money from fees on checked bags andother items, helped boost United Continental Holdings Inc., the world’slargest airline company, to a $538 million second-quarter profit.

Several federal airline-ticket taxes expired when Congress adjourned forthe weekend without passing FAA legislation. Lawmakers couldn’t break astalemate over a Republican proposal to make it harder for airline and rail-road workers to unionize.

Air traffic controllers stayed on the job, but thousands of other FAAemployees were likely to be furloughed.

Airlines stopped collecting a 7.5 percent ticket tax, a separate ex-cise tax of $3.70 per takeoff and landing, and other taxes. Those addup to about $32 on a round-trip itinerary with base fare of $240 andone stop in each direction. Other government fees for security andlocal airport projects are still being collected. They boost the finalcost of that $240 base-fare ticket to $300.

Passengers who bought tickets before this weekend but travel during theFAA shutdown could be entitled to a refund of the taxes that they paid, saidTreasury Department spokeswoman Sandra Salstrom. She said it’s unclearwhether the government can keep taxes for travel at a time when it doesn’thave authority to collect the money.

“Our manufacturing folks havebeen tremendous at squeaking outextra units through improving linerates, adding on extra shifts,” GM’sU.S. sales chief Don Johnson said.

The caution among many topU.S. corporations echoes that ofFederal Reserve Chairman BenBernanke and other policymakers,who are scaling back their expec-tations of economic growth.

With unemployment stuckabove 9 percent and surveys ofmanufacturers showing, at best,modest optimism for the monthsahead, Bernanke has sounded lesssure about when the expectedpickup in the pace of recovery willkick in.

With a deadline looming toavoid a default, questions aboutwhether Congress can raise thecountry’s debt ceiling also are fu-eling concerns.

For automakers and dealers,high gasoline prices are also a con-stant factor.

The “Twilight” star told aComic-Con crowd that doing asweet, traditional Snow White wasnot something “I was jumping at.”

What attracted her was that thisSnow White was a bold leaderwith her feet firmly on theground. “Also, I get to have asword and stuff,” Stewart said.“Really cool weapons.”

The movie is due out nextJune and is one of two “SnowWhite” movies Hollywood hascoming. The other, due out nextMarch, features Julia Roberts asthe evil queen. The cast ofStewart’s “Snow White” in-cludes Charlize Theron as thewicked queen, Chris Hemsworthas a rugged huntsman and SamClaflin as a prince.

The movie starts shooting ina few weeks. Director RupertSanders showed off photos ofthe stars in costume, amongthem Stewart in her fighting out-

How evil is Theron’s queen? “She’s aserial killer,” Theron said. “I’m pretty much

“If the audience is the mood togo off on a little bit of a tangent,then you’d be able to go off on atangent, but if the audience seemsto want to cut to the chase, you couldcut to the chase,” Coppola said inan interview after his presentation.

Filmmakers often have the expe-rience in test screenings where theysense viewers’ interest lagging andthe “audience is not so into it, so yougo, ‘Oh, I wish the good part wouldcome sooner, I wish the good partwould come sooner,’” Coppola said.“With this, you can do that.”

“Twixt” stars Val Kilmer as awriter on a book tour in a strangetown where he’s caught up in the

mystery of savage killings and hasghostly encounters with a younggirl (Elle Fanning) and the specterof Edgar Allan Poe (Ben Chaplin).The idea actually originated froma dream Coppola had two years agoabout a mysterious girl and inwhich Poe appeared as sort of aspirit guide.

The possibility of time travel was raised 10years ago when scientists discoveredsuperluminal — or faster-than-light — propaga-tion of optical pulses in some specific medium,the team said.

Asian football supremoMohamed bin Hammamwas banned from the gamefor life after being foundguilty of corruption follow-ing a two-day hearing ofFIFA’s ethics committee.

The 62-year-old Qatari,the president of the AsianFootball Confederation(AFC), had been accused oftrying to buy votes in theFIFA presidential electionwith $40,000 cash gifts toCaribbean football offi-cials.

“The official Mr Bin Hammam is hereby banned from taking partin any kind of football-related activity at national or international levelfor life,” ethics committee deputy chairman Petrus Damaseb announcedon Saturday.

Bin Hammam did not attend the hearing, which took place behindclosed doors at FIFA headquarters in Zurich, but he told AFP in a tele-phone conversation on Saturday evening that he intended to appeal.

He specified that the first step would consist of making an appeal toFIFA, but he has previously declared that he is prepared to take hiscase to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and, if necessary, thecivil courts.

Bin Hammam, the most high-ranking FIFA figure to be convictedof corruption, also reacted to the decision on his blog by publishing ascanned copy of a personal letter sent to him by FIFA president SeppBlatter in 2008.

In the letter, which Blatter addressed to “My dear brother,” BinHammam highlighted a phrase in which the 75-year-old Swiss hadwritten: “Without you, dear Mohamed, none of this would ever havebeen possible”.

Below the letter were the words: “This is only the battle, not thewar...” — suggesting that he holds Blatter at least partly responsiblefor his fate. The head of Bin Hammam’s legal team, Eugene Gulland,read out a statement from him after the verdict was announced.

“Mr Bin Hammam rejects the findings of the FIFA ethics commit-tee hearing and maintains his innocence,” said Gulland. “He will con-tinue to fight his case through the legal routes that are open to him.“The FIFA ethics committee has apparently based its decision on so-called ‘circumstantial evidence’, which our case has clearly demon-strated was bogus and founded on lies told by senior FIFA officials.”

Dope-row sprinter Cesar Cielo clocked the quickest 50m butterfly as theworld championships’ swimming action got under way Sunday — and thenpleaded with his critics to leave him alone. The Brazilian, who touched in23.26sec to top qualifying, insisted he was just “here to swim” as stormclouds grew over his all-clear for Shanghai despite failing a drugs test.

“I don’t know what else they want from me,” Cielo said, after superstarMichael Phelps and Jason Lezak voiced disquiet at this week’s controver-sial decision. “I’m a swimmer, I’m here to swim. There’s nothing else I cando.”

Lezak said many swimmers were unhappy after the Court of Arbitrationfor Sport let Cielo off with a warning for testing positive for a banned di-uretic. The Brazilian has blamed a contaminated caffeine supplement forthe result.

The Olympic and double world champion freestyler admitted it felt “alittle weird” to be back in the pool, but he insisted he did not “have to makeanybody else happy”.

“I’ve had many, many emotions in the last months so it’s kind of hard tojust get everything together and just focus on swimming,” he said. “But Ihave a new page in my life and I’m going to try and do my best and getmyself into position for the final.”

Khan won the first four roundson all three ringside scorecards. “Ithink my speed overwhelmed him,along with my power,” Khan said.“I thought I was hurting him and itwas only a matter of time.” The endcame when Khan landed a righthand that appeared to be legal, butjust barely. Judah went down andstayed there with his back toDrakulich as the referee countedhim out.

Khan, who improved to 26-1with 18 knockouts, was fighting in

LAGUNA SECA - Dani Pedrosa feels he still has to find morespeed before Sunday’s United States Grand Prix if he is to chal-lenge polesitter Jorge Lorenzo for victory.

Although the Hondas of Casey Stoner and Pedrosa start onthe front row alongside Lorenzo’s Yamaha, the reigning cham-pion was comfortably fastest in qualifying and looked very strongon his longer runs.

Pedrosa qualified third, and felt he had not managed to get thebest from his bike yet. “We couldn’t improve as much as I’d liketo in the final part of the practice, we tried some different settingsand unfortunately we didn’t find a good one, but to start from thefront row is always important and here we are again,” he said.

“I felt more comfortable with the hard tyres, which it’s posi-tive because they will be the ones used for the race, but we stillneed to make another step forward tomorrow and hopefully finda little more grip in the rear.

“Lorenzo seems very stable and fast, so I hope to find some-thing else with my mechanics tonight and to be able to fight fora great result tomorrow.”

Pedrosa won at the Sachsenring a week ago, in a breakthroughresult just two races after his return from an injury absence. Al-though he expects Laguna Seca to be a tougher test for his physi-cal condition, he is optimistic about his prospects.

“The race will be very fast, there are many laps here, so it willbe important to be focus on every lap and stay strong until theend,” said Pedrosa.

“I know the race distance will be hard for me physically, youhave to work a lot in this track, there are a lot of bumps and youneed to be very focused not to make any mistakes. But I will trymy best and I hope to stay strong and consistent until the end.”
