Questions Raised Over Safetyof President, Vice-Presidentand Visiting Heads of State toBali Following Recent HighProfile Lapses by PresidentialSecurity Detail.

On the eve of visits by atleast 16 heads of state to Bali for thecoming ASEAN Summit, the vice-chairman of the Commission I of theI n d o n e s i a n H o u s e o fRepresentat ives (DPR), TBHasanuddin, has called for thereplacement of Major General AgusSutomo as the head of thePresidential Security Service(Paspampres).

D e t i k . c o m q u o t e sHasanuddin as saying, in myopinion the Head of Paspampresmust be replaced.

T h e r e q u e s t f o r areplacement comes after twosignificant security breaches.Presidential security failed in Bali onMonday, October 24, 2011, when agardener penetrated three securitycordons and found himself standingadjacent to a stage occupied by the

President, his familyand members ofthe cab ine t .Four days later,o n O c t o b e r2 8 t h , ar a m p a g i n gs t u d e n t i n

Hasanuddin, who servedas a military secretary during thep r e s i d e n c y o f M e g a w a t iSoekarnoputri, told the press thatthe Presidential Security Detail(Paspampres) is divided into twogroups: group A guarding the

President (RI-1) and group Bassigned to protecting the Vice-president (RI-2). If, however, both(details) are penetrated, well, thenthe head of the presidentialsecurity team must be replaced,said Hasanuddin, who is a retiredMajor General in the Army, thesame rank held by the currenthead of Paspampres.

Hasanuddin said that themaintenance of Ring I thesecurity cordon closest to thepresident is absolutely crucial tokeeping Indonesia 's Chief

rhetorically what the resultswould have been if a man on a bicyclepenetrating Ring I surrounding thepresident was not a gardener, but aterrorist carrying a weapon? Hecontinued by postulating, or, forinstance, if the president was hit by agrenade thrown from a closedistance?.

Hasanuddin proclaimed to thepress that his protective services forthe president were never penetratedin 11 years of service.

While Major General AgusSutomo has admitted that his teamwas guilty of inadvertence during theincident in Bali, he vehemently deniedthe security team was actually"penetrated." Meanwhile, the head ofthe Indonesian Armed Forces and, byextension, Sutomo's boss, MajorGeneral Agus Suhartono, has deniedthat any penetration of thepresidential security took place.

There was no penetration.That there are layers of security is

done precisely to anticipate suchsituations. If someone gets past a ring,then there's another ring followed byanother ring after that," saidSuhartono at the DPR building inJakarta.

Concerns are also beingexpressed, asking if the recent failingsby the presidential security team willhave a negative impact on plans bymany heads of state, including U.S.President Barack Obama, to visit Baliin mid-November.

A traveller says she will filea complaint after a note leftin her suitcase includedthe hand-written comment"Get your freak on girl".

Th e T r a n sp o r ta t i o nSecurity Administration documentwas placed in her luggage to

confirm that it had been searchedby authorities in theUnited States.

Ms Filipovic hadtravelled from the US toIreland when she openedher case and found thatsomeone had written the"inappropriate" messagein capital letters

"Just unpackedmy suitcase and foundthis note from TSA," MsFilipovic tweeted.

" G u e s s t h e ydiscovered a 'personal item' in my

bag. Wow."Ms Filipovic responded to

a comment on her blog to explainwhy she put her "personal item" -which she later admitted was avibrator - in her checked baggagerather than in her carry-on case.

"I didn't want to deal withan agent pulling it out at security(especially since a few monthsago, an agent in Cameroon pulleda tampon out of my bag andmanhandled it for a while beforesmelling it and then asking mewhat it was. A male colleague hadto explain, in French, and it was

bad for all involved)," she said."I figured in checkedbaggage it would be lessobjectionable. I guess not."

Prompted to defendherself after an offensivecomment on her blog - whichincluded a threat of sodomy - MsFilipovic said yesterday that theissue had "gotten very out ofcontrol".

"I've been writing about

feminism and politics foralmost a decade; I've workedpretty hard to establish myself aswriter, a thinker and an activist.I've also worked really hard topursue a career as an attorney,"she wrote on Feministe.us.

"I'd rather not be knownas Vibrator Girl. When I put up th is

post, I had no idea it would spread

so far so quickly, and I'm trying tofigure out how to proceed. I'vebeen trying to re-centre theconversation on privacy issuesand the security state, but really,everyone wants the funnyvibrator story.

"I'm stepping away fortoday, as best I can, to think aboutthis and to let things die down.There are really important issuesabout privacy and security thatare worth discussing here and I'malmost always glad to have aplatform to talk about them, butI'm not sure that message is

getting out, and I'm not sure I wantthe kind of attention this isbringing - owning a vibrator is notreally what I've worked hard to beknown for."

Ms Filipovic said she hadtravelled with "personal items"many times and no one hadmentioned it. The "Get your freakon girl" message was a first and itwas not fake.

"Look, it's the internet -

Sex-toy drama for female travellera n y o n e c a n f a k e

anything. And there's nothing Ican really do to convince youthat it isn't fake, other than tosay 'it isn't fake' (and also to saythat I'm a lawyer, and I wouldn'trisk getting disbarred for twominutes of internet 'fame')," shewrote.

In her initialblog post about thenote, Ms Filipovicwrote: "Total violationof p r ivacy, wi ld lyinappropr ia te andclearly not OK, but Ialso just died laughingin my hotel room."

She has sincesaid she would "likelybe filing a complaint"with the TSA in the US.

"She said thatexcept for when the

bag was checked - from the

time she packed to the time sheunpacked - she had been withthe bag, meaning it was unlikelyan elaborate practical prank bya friend,"

"She said the fact thatthe note was left on the TSAnotice led her to believe a TSAofficer had written it.

"A spokesperson for theTSA said that they are 'one ofseveral entities' that handlechecked bags and that at thistime there is 'no concreteevidence who wrote the note'.

"Still, the TSA said that

'if inappropriate conduct isdiscovered, TSA [will take]appropr ia te d isc ip l inaryaction'."

Ms Filipovic said shehoped that the TSA would lookinto the complaint and remindstaff "that going throughpeople's personal belongings isa responsibility that should betreated with some modicum ofprofessionalism".

'day again folk and I do hope you all had a great week with thenumber 3 horse getting its whiskers in front to win theGMelbourne cup this week. It's great when a race is as close as

that, which left all the punters sitting on the edge of their chairs. I didback a horse which started at twenty to one, so watched the race withgreat anticipation, only to see my pick finish at quarter to four, so as youcan guess there was no win for me on the day. I did see a few peoplepick up a coupla bucks on the day so happy faces all round.

I see from the news this week on Australia Network that the flagship airline of Australia has beenhaving a bit of fun also with the three unions pushing the management for a pay rise getting a little surprise.My understanding of the whole thing was that if they didn't stop the industrial action the boss man would shutdown the entire operation and there would be Qantas no more, and after many weeks of negotiations he didjust that. Can you imagine the logistics in shutting down as big an operation as that? Apparently there where13,500 people that where to have been given travel back into Australia, from different places in the world, onQantas, in the next 24hrs after he made the shut down call. Some people where even in their planes andtaxiing out to take off when the call came, causing the plane to head back to the terminal so the passengerscould to exit the aeroplane and collect their luggage. One can only imagine what the hotel bill would havebeen to accommodate these people or the alternative travel arrangements that would have had to be madefor them. The reality is that this fellow wasn't going to be stood over by stupid staff representatives that,should they have gotten what they wanted, would have sent the airline broke anyhow.

I don't think I can think of, or know of any other company that has stood up to a union in such a way inmy time, and on that note there may be a heap of Qantas employees that will be questioning why they arenow paying union dues each month. I did see an interview with the legendary Dick Smith, who was the headof the aviation commission for a few years. He was quoted as saying that the other airlines in Australia that

people call LCC (low cost carriers) are in fact world class setups, and the difference is these companieshave a wage bill that is almost 50% less than that of Qantas, so of course the masses will choose the LCCcarriers. Anyway they seem to have all come to their senses and sorted the issues out and life is nowreturning to normal. By the time this ramble is published I'd say they will be in full flight again, which is a goodthing instead of seeing 35,000 people out of work.Ok folks, the day has been long and the want for a coldy is to the point where I can't wait any longer so I willleave you all for another week. I hope the most of you stay safe, happy, healthy and try to remember, nothingexceeds like excess.

Enjoy your week, ALIASJ.

Popular Tattooed Barbie causes controversySince its release earlier thismonth online, the $50 (31pound) limited edition dolldesigned by Los Angeles-based fashion companytokidoki and aimed at adultcollectors, has sold out butn o t b e f o r e c a u s i n gcontroversy.

"Is the New 'Tokidoki' TattooBarbie Inappropriate for Children?"

Some parents in the UnitedStates also questioned whether thetoy company that launched theoriginal Barbie in1959 should bepromoting bodyart.

" I t ' steaching kids tow a n t t a t t o o sbefore they are oldenough to dresslike that," KevinB u c k n e r , o fVirginia,

N o o n ewas available fromMattel to commenton the issue butn o t a l l t h ef e e d b a c k h a sbeen negative.Some adults said the doll reflectedmodern fashion and pop culture.

"Have you seen Lady Gaga,Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Rihanna?"Candace Caswell, a 30-year-oldmother from New York asked in anemail interview, adding that the pop

stars have tattoos and wear wigsand crazy clothes.

"They are capturing asnapshot of pop culture the way itreally is. Barbie is not raising mydaughter. I am," she added.

For Heather Gately Stoll, ofColorado, tattoos are not the issue.

"What is inappropriate forkids are her measurements," shesaid about the shapely doll. "If shecan change personalities why can't

she change her shape andsize?"

And while New Yorkmother Sue Dennis would notspend $50 on the doll, she is notoffended by it.

"I have a 16 month-old sonand the tokidoki Barbie is more thediverse image of women I would

like to present to him versus moretraditional ones," she said.

The tokidoki Barbie is notthe first to sport tattoos. In 2009,some stores pulled Mattel's TotallyStylin' Tattoos Barbie followingcomplaints, and a year earlier

Ma t te l co l l a b o r a te d w i thmotorcycle manufacturer HarleyDavidson to produce a Barbie withwings tattooed on her back.

Production of tattooedButterfly Art Barbie was halted in1999 after parents voiced their

concerns.Gayatri Bhalla, 41, of

Washington D.C, who writes ablog about experiences for tweengirls, sees it as a marketing issue.

"One the one hand, thecompany likes to hold Barbie up asthe iconic American toy for girlsand use her to promote things thatmost parents wouldn't object to,such as Take Your Daughter ToWork Day," she said.

Barbie in images that alot of parents wouldn't choose tohold up as a role model for theiryoung daughters, and a full-body tattooed doll falls into thiscamp."

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Anaked and drunk motorist spedthrough central Moscow on

Sunday, crashing into 17 carsbefore being stopped by policewho chased him across a largepart of the capital, statetelevision said.

"When police made himopen his door, it became clear he

World population to hit 10 billion by 2100News Corner

THE world's population ofseven billion is set to ris e toat least 10 billion by 2100,but could top 15 billion ifbirth rates are just slightlyhigher than expected, theUnited Nations says.

In a report released todayahead of ceremonies on October 31to mark the seven billionth humanalive, the UN Population Fund(UNFPA) warned demographicpressure posed mighty challengesfor easing poverty and conservingthe environment.

New estimates see a globalhuman tally of 9.3 billion at 2050, anincrease over earlier figures, andmore than 10 billion by century'send, UNFPA said.

But, it added, "with only asmall variation in fertility, particularlyin the most populous countries, thetotal could be higher: 10.6 billionpeople could be living on Earth by2050 and more than 15 billion in2100."

The 126-page document,"The State of the World Population2011", highlights a surge that beganwith the post-World War II babyboom - a numbers "bulge" thatshows up in following generationsas they in turn grow up and havechildren.

In contrast, prosperity,better education and access tocontraception have slashed theglobal fertility rate to the point thatsome rich countries have to address

a looming population fall.Over the past six decades,

fertility has declined from astatistical average of 6.0 childrenper women to about 2.5 today,varying from 1.7 in the mostadvanced economies to 4.2 in theleast developed nations.

Even so, 80 million peopleeach year are added to the world'spopulation. People under 25comprise 43 per cent of the total.

"Our record populationcan be viewed in many ways as asuccess for humanity - people areliving longer, healthier lives," saidBabatunde Osotimehin, UNFPA'sexecutive director.

"How did we become somany? How large a number canour Earth sustain?" he asked.

"These are importantquestions but perhaps not theright ones for our times. When welook only at the big number, werisk being overwhelmed andlosing sight of new opportunitiesto make life better for everyone inthe future."

The report highlightedthese challenges and said thathaving large numbers of youngadults offers many poor countriesthe hope of rising from poverty.

But, warns the UNFPA," t h i s o p p o r t u n i t y o f a'demographic dividend' is a

fleeting moment that must beclaimed quickly or lost." Finding jobs for this swelling sea ofyoungsters is essential.

The report notably quotesfrom a report by the UN'sI n t e r n a t i o n a l L a b o u rOrgan isa t ion ( ILO) wh ichsuggests the 23.4 per cent youthunemployment in the Arab worldwas a major contributor to theuprisings there.

T h e r e p o r t c i t e senvironmental problems that arealready pressing and set tointensify as demand grows for

food, energy and homes.Referring to a yardstick of

sustainability used by theenvironmental thinktank GlobalFootprint Network, the report saidit now takes the Earth 18 monthsto regenerate the naturalresources that we use in a year.

"Climate change andrapid population growth areamong the many factorscontributing to the current drought

and famine in the Horn ofAfrica, which has affected morethan 12 million people," it says.

Future concerns focusespecially on water stress."Analysis suggests that the worldwill face a 40 per cent globalshortfall (in water) betweenforecast demand and availablesupply by 2030," says the report,citing Egypt - hugely dependenton the Nile - as a particularexample.

The balance betweenrural and urban populations "hastipped irreversibly" towards citiesin today's world of seven billion.T h e b i g g e s t u r b a nagglomeration, as defined by theUNFPA, is Tokyo, with 36.7million people, followed by Delhi,with 22 million, Sao Paulo, 20million and Mumbai, with 20million.

As the world's population

expands, better urban planning,with closer involvement ofresidents, will be essential.Adequate housing, sanitation andgreen spaces shou ld beincorporated in the shaping ofcities rather than ad-hoc growththat leads to shanty towns.

In rich countries wherepopulations are becoming top-heavy with the elderly, the taskwill be to meet growing demandsfor labour. Immigration, one of theoptions, needs to be orderly andmanaged so that migrants arebetter integrated and protected.

Dozens of countries arelagging in achieving the UN'sMillennium Development Goal ofproviding universal access toreproductive health, said thereport.

"A stable population is asine qua non for accelerated,planned economic growth anddevelopment," said Osotimehin.

But the lego man'sappearance has sparkedmore questions than answers -especially after others havemade similar appearances

Similar Lego men were foundon beaches in Holland in 2007 andEngland in 2008.

With the figure now in thecustody of the Sarasota CountySheriff's Office, a spokeswoman forLegoland - which has opened a newamusement park near Orlando - saidthe Lego man was a counterfeit andwas not endorsed by Legoland or itsp a r e n t c o m p a n y , M e r l i nEntertainments Group.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22Only now that you're able to look back on the past week orso, is it clear how fortunate you were that your efforts to

avoid certain offers weren't successful. At the time, theyseemed unappealing. But now that you've learned more,you're beginning to realise just how much you'd havemissed.

VirgoAug 23 - Sep 22There's no point in tiptoeing about troublesome issuesthinking they should wait until things are calmer. Actuallythere's no better moment to address such matters thanwhen everything's in chaos. This way you can deal withchanges and those difficult situations all at once, and putthem to rest at the same time.

Smog dims shine of India's festival of lightsBharat Prakash has stayedindoors on Diwali day forthe past four years to avoidthe smog that envelopesIndian cities during thefestival, which celebratesthe triumph of good overevil with fireworks andsmall oil-filled clay lamps.

As the rest of the countrycelebrates the Festival of Lights,which falls on Wednesday thisyear, asthma sufferers likePrakash, 22, will be cooped upat home, dreading the blanket ofsmoke that worsens the alreadydire air quality.

"I don't step out of thehouse on Diwali nights," saysP r a k a s h , a m a r k e t i n gprofessional in Pune.

In New Delhi , the

A study conducted by theCentral Pollution Control Boardshowed that noise and airpollution levels werehigher during Diwali in2 0 1 0 t h a n t h eprevious year despiten a t i o n w i d ecampaigns againstfirecrackers.

"It's a concern

"Every year dur ingDiwali, pollution levels are quitehigh largely because of thefirecrackers, but the trafficintensity also goes up duringthis time."

Improvements in airquality after Delhi imposed rulesmaking auto-rickshaws andbuses run off liquefied naturalgas have been partly offset bynew cars on the road -- and theirnumbers have nearly doubledover the last decade, thanks torising incomes.

Kangaroos moving on from Luke tacklePaul Gallen insistsAustralia has movedon from its bruisingFour Nat ions winover New Zealandand is fully focusingon Saturday's clashw i t h E n g l a n d a tWembley.

Kiwi hooker IssacLuke was cautioned bythe international matchreview panel for hiscannonball tackle to thelegs of Australia prop DavidShi l l ington that forced theCanberra man out of Friday's gamein Warrington late in the secondhalf.

Shillington escaped anymajor injury to his knee and ankleand team physio Tony Ayoub isconfident he will be fit to play onSaturday.

"He's hoping to be running

in the next few days but there is nomajor problems, he's just beenresting it up for the last few days,"Ayoub said.

Luke escaped a ban forwhat the panel called "conductcontrary to the true spirit of thegame" and will be free to face

Wales in the opening gameof the double-header at England'snational stadium.

However the panel said in astatement that Luke wouldautomatically be charged shouldhe receive a second caution duringthe tournament.

Kangaroos coach TimSheens and his players werefurious about the challenge by

Luke, but Gallen says the incidentor the Kiwis' targeting of JohnathanThurston has not been discussedby the players since the game.

"It's a Test match, you knowyou can get away with a bit more,"Gallen said.

"It can be quite a

dangerous tacklebut it is quite a difficultthing to rule on for thereferee. We are notworrying about IssacLuke, that game hasgone and now we faceEngland."

Gallen conceded

the speed around ther u c k , w h i c h a l s oinfuriated Sheens, wassomething the playersneeded to adjust to butmaintained he had no

problems with English refereePhil Bentham.

"I said before the game Ilike the way he reffed our gamein Newcastle, but no-one candeny it was slower than what weare used to in the NRL," he said.

" I t i s j u s t t h einterpretation is a bit differentwith the one referee, normallyyou would have the pocketreferee screaming at you to getoff a lot quicker.

"But we slowed themdown as much as they slowed usdown and the penalty count waspretty even, it's just a slower,more physical game at thislevel.

Davis confi rms he's quit CollingwoodC o l l i n g w o o d h a v econfirmed veteran LeonDavis' departure from theAFL club amid speculationhe is keen to continue his

playing career in WesternAustralia.The 30-year-old, who

played 225 games for the club,enjoyed a stellar season in 2011after switching from the forwardline to defence, culminating in agrand final appearance and All-Australian selection.

However, Davis - whowas drafted by the Magpies fromWAFL club Perth in 1999 - says

the lure of returning to hishome state to be closer to familyand friends persuaded him toleave Melbourne after 12 seasonswith the Magpies.

Davis reportedly met withofficials from WAFL club PeelThunder last week, while Swan

Districts are also said to beinterested in signing him.

"I definitely enjoyed my 12years at Collingwood. I'm proud ofwhat I achieved and it's sad to beleaving, but I'm looking forward to

the next phase of my life," Davissaid.

"There were plenty ofhighs and some lows, but thehighs certainly outweighed thelows, and hopefully my family,friends, coaches, team-mates andsupporters have been proud ofwhat I've been able to achieve. It'sbeen an incredible ride.

The highway in southernUtah was shut down for severalhours on Sunday evening andMonday morning, officials said.

Local beekeepers workedthrough the night to gather theescaped bees. Officials said therewas a net over the beehives butbees still managed to escape after

the truck overturned.The truck driver and two law

enforcement officers responding tothe accident were stung by bees butthe stings were not life-threatening,Johnson said.

"There were about 450colonies on the load and probablyabout 45,000 bees to the colony,"said Richard Adee with Adee HoneyFarms in Bruce, South Dakota.

That would translate to more

than 20 million bees.

Millions of escaped bees shut down highwayAdee said the bees

Wonaeamirri, Dick part of club cu lls

Sports Corner

Greater Western Sydneywill have the chance to addmore mature-age bargainsto its squad after a host ofunfulfilled talents weregiven the boot on AFL listlodgement deadline d ay.

Melbourne excitement

machine Austin Wonaeamirri,injury-prone Collingwoodgoalsneak Brad Dick, fringeMagpies midfielder JohnMcCarthy and Geelongpremiership ruckman MarkBlake were all axed onMonday, leaving their AFLcareers in limbo.

C a r l t o n f o r w a r dSetanta O'hAilpin, Hawthorn'sR i c k L a d s o n , N o r t hMelbourne's Ed Lower, PortAdelaide's Daniel Motlop, StKilda's Steven Baker andSydney's Paul Bevan are other

well-known names who now faceAFL oblivion after being cut.St Kilda's Zac Dawson

survived the cull, but the AFLcareer of dual All-Australian LeonDavis could be over after heformally cut ties with Collingwoodon Monday.

Geelong, still buzzingfrom its premiership success,farewelled another familiar name,with premiership ruckman BradOttens joining Cameron Ling,Darren Milburn and CameronMooney in retirement.

B u t t h e f a t e o fWonaeamirri and Dick loom asthe most intriguing points headinginto the national and pre-seasondrafts.

Wonaeamirri, who hailsfrom the Tiwi Islands, battledfi tness and homesicknessproblems throughout his 31-game

career, but was a shining light forthe Demons during a bleak 2008.

However, the Demonsmade the tough decision to cut the

176cm, 23-year-old speedsterafter failing to make contact withhim in their bid to discuss hisfuture.

"Unfortunately, we havebeen unable to adequatelycommunicate with Aussie todetermine his future intentions,"Demons general manager of listmanagement Tim Harringtonsaid.

Dick's talents were highlyvalued at the Magpies, but anumber of serious shoulderinjuries ultimately brought the 23-

y e a r - o l d u n d o n e ,restricting him to just 27 gamesover five seasons.

But while the tender ageof Dick and Wonaeamirri couldultimately count in their favour, theAFL career of 30-year-old Davisappears over, with both WestCoast and Fremantle showing

little interest in the reborndefender despite his breakout2011 campaign.

Davis, who notched225 games for the Magpies, isintent on returning home toWestern Australia, where heis likely to resume his careerin the WAFL.

In other player newson Monday, fringe Fremantlepair Ryan Crowley andMichael Walters survived the

cut and signed new one-yeardeals under new coach RossLyon.

Essendon promotedrookie Stewart Crameri onto theirsenior list after his breakthroughseason up forward, while NickLower (Fremantle), Mitch Golby(Brisbane), Alik Magin (GoldCoast), Luke Breust (Hawthorn),Luke Delaney (North Melbourne),Cameron Pederson (NorthMelbourne), Nathan Gordon(Sydney), Ashton Hams (WestCoast), Luke Dahlhaus (Bulldogs)and Matthew Panos (Bulldogs)were also elevated.

Sonny Bill Williams hassigned up for another yearwith th e New Zealand RugbyUnion and is switching hisSuper Rugby allegiance tothe Chiefs.

Williams made his SuperRugby debut with the Crusadersin 2011 and came off the bench inthe All Blacks' 8-7 win over Francein the World Cup final.

SBW stays in NZ, becomes a ChiefT h e r e h a d b e e n

speculation the former NRL starmight have headed abroad orpossibly even back to rugbyleague.

The one-year deal willallow the aspiring boxer tocontinue to take part in a limitednumber of professional bouts.

Vettel cruises to victory in IndiaRed Bull's double world championSebastian Vettel ran away wit h theinaugural Indian Formula One

Grand Prix on Sunday for his 11thvictor y in 17 races this season.

On a dusty and bittersweetafternoon at the new BuddhInternational Circuit, the 24-year-oldGerman led every lap of the race afterstarting from pole position. He alsoset the fastest lap right at the finish.

As if those landmarks werenot enough, Vettel also set a recordfor the most laps led in a singleseason by any driver, leapfroggingBritain's 1992 champion NigelMansell in the statisticians' lists.

Both championships havealready been won by Vettel and histeam.

Vettel's Australian team-mateMark Webber finished the race infourth after starting on the front row.

Britain's Jenson Button, the2009 world champion, consolidatedhis grip on second place overall byfinishing 8.4 seconds behind theGerman, while Ferrari's FernandoAlonso took third place a further 15.8seconds adrift.

"Yes boys, we did it," shoutedVettel after cricket great Sachin

Tendulkar brought down thechequered flag. "First Indian GrandPrix, great job."

Vettel now has 374 pointswith two races remaining, McLaren'sButton 240, Alonso 227 and Webberon 221.

The champion celebrated onthe podium by drinking champagnefrom the gleaming silver trophy afterbeing joined in celebration by RedBull technical head Adrian Neweybut struck a more sombre moodafterwards.

The afternoon may not havebeen a thriller but, coming at the endof a grim month for motorsport withtwo high-profile race fatalities onsuccessive weekends, that wasalmost a relief.

Minute's silenceTeams and drivers held a

minute's silence, standing stock stillon the grid with just the hum ofgenerators, before the race inmemory of double Indy 500 winnerDan Wheldon and MotoGPshowman Marco Simoncelli.

Button, a friend and rival ofWheldon's early in their careers inBritain, dedicated the race to themwhile Vettel paid his own tribute.

"I have mixed feelings," the

German added. "I am very,very happy. The first GP in Indiaand I'm very proud to be the first

winner. But looking back at the lastweekends, we lost two of ourmates."

McLaren's 2008 championLewis Hamilton and Ferrari'sFelipe Massa again collided, theirsixth on-track clash of the season.The Brazilian was handed a drivethrough penalty for causing thecollision and later retired with abroken front suspension.

"Felipe just turned in onme, he didn't give me any space,"shouted Hamilton, who had to pitfor a new front wing while Massacontinued, over the team radio.
