LUCKNOW — A stampede killed 16 Hindu pilgrims and injured about 50 during a religious ceremony Tuesday on the banks of the Ganges River in northern India, an official said. The stampede at Haridwar in Uttrakhand state was triggered when some of the pilgrims tripped and fell while those behind continued to push forward, government spokesman Amit Chandola said. Thousands of people had converged on the river banks for the prayer ceremony in the temple-filled
town at the foothills of the Himalayas where the Ganges enters the sprawling plains of northern India. Haridwar is about 300 miles (500 kilometers) southwest of Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh state. Chandola said police had recovered 16 bodies from the site, and that about 50 injured people were taken to a nearby hospital. Continued on page 6

Existence of illegal tourist information centers was highlighted again by tourism perpetrators.

MOS O The ussian historian had always been open about his interest in the dead and eagerly described how he loved to rummage through cemeteries, studying grave stones to uncover the life stories behind them. What he failed to mention, according to police, was that he had dug up 29 bodies and taken them back to his apartment, where he dressed them in women’s clothes scavenged from graves and then put them on display. A police video of the man’s apartment in the Volga River city of Nizhny Novgorod released Monday shows his macabre collection of what look like dolls. Lifesize, they are dressed in bright dresses and headscarves, their hands and faces wrapped in what appears to be cloth. Police said they were PXPPL¿HG UHPDLQV Instructions for doll-making were found in the apartment, police said, and the video showed old-fashioned plastic dolls in frilly dresses lying about. Police refused to name the suspect arrested last week, but released photographs of him, gave his age as 45 and described him as a wellknown specialist in the history of the city about 400 kilometers (250 miles) east of Moscow. Russian media reports identified the man as Anatoly Moskvin,
a 45-year-old historian who was considered the ultimate expert on cemeteries in Nizhny Novgorod. Russian newspaper reports quoted police as saying that the man had only selected the remains of young women for his grisly collection. Police said he had photographs and nameplates from grave sites, ZKLFK FRXOG KHOS ZLWK WKH LGHQWLÂżcation of the remains. The arrest followed a longrunning investigation into the desecration of graves at several cemeteries in Ni hny Novgorod beginning in 2010, police spokeswoman Svetlana Kovylina said. She did not explain how they tracked him down. The national daily Moskovsky Komsomolets said Moskvin was detained at a cemetery while carrying a bag of bones. But Kriminalnaya Khronika, an online publication speciali ing in crime news from the Ni hny Novgorod region, said police investigators discovered the bodies when they visited Moskvin to consult with him about the desecration.
Alexei Yesin, the editor of a local newspaper to which Moskvin contributed, told The Associated Press that he was shocked by the reports and couldn’t understand how he could have squee ed all the bodies into his apartment, which he shared with his parents. He described Moskvin as a loner who had “certain quirks,� but said he gave no indication that he was up to anything so strange. “I saw no signs of that while working with him,� Yesin said in a telephone interview. Moskvin, who long had been known in the region for his interest in the dead, wrote several articles about cemeteries and historic sites in the region. A linguistic expert by training, he speciali ed in Celtic culture and studied 13 foreign languages. In a 2007 interview with the newspaper Ni hegorodsky Rabochy, or Ni hny Novgorod Worker, Moskvin said he had begun wandering through cemeteries when he was in the seventh grade. “I don’t think anyone in the city knows them better than I do,� he said.

Nicaragua’s Ortega wins landslide re-election Reuters
MANA A - Nicaraguan President Daniel rtega, a socialist former guerrilla leader, cruised to a landslide re-election victory after drawing broad support for his anti-poverty programs. rtega had 62.7 percent of the vote with returns in from 86 percent of polling stations in Sunday’s presidential election. That was more than double the tally for his closest rival, conservative radio personality Fabio Gadea. rtega’s supporters poured into the streets of Managua to celebrate. “I’m happy ... I think that people are convinced, they voted for social programs, voted for the future, voted for the poor,â€? said lawyer Silvia Calderon, 5 .

The mine in remote Papua province has large gold and copper reserves. Most of its 12,000 workers walked off the job Sept. 15, demanding that their salaries be raised from about $3 an hour to as high as $33. Last month, two workers were shot by police trying to control a crowd and three were killed by unidentified gunmen.

E-ID card
Government awaiting results of police Government guarantees security of people’s personal data
Antara
JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Djoko Suyanto said the government would wait for the results of the police investigation into the incidents around the recent Papua People`s Congress in Papua that left some people dead. He said the police were not alone in investigating the case as the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) had been doing the same. The government, however, could not rely on the outcome of the investigation of one party only. “The police are not investigating the case alone, several other quarters are also involved. The police`s credibility is at stake here. Now who can say that it was TNI and police members that did the shootings. Can the Komnas HAM
do so?. Let them do it if they think so but we will wait for the results of the police`s own investigation,” he said. Asked if the organizers of the Third Papuan People`s Congress had sent a letter to his office containing a notification about the event, Djoko admitted his office did receive such letter but his office had never issued a permit for the congress because, like for any seminar, a congress did not require a permit from his office. “Indeed there was a notification about it and it was no problem for a congress or a seminar to be held so long as it is peaceful as the one I attended three months ago. There was no prohibition. But declaring independence is another matter,” he said. Regarding security in Papua, Djoko said that both TNI and the police had standard operating pro-
cedures. Asked if the provision of Freeport funds to the police should be stopped, Djoko said “just ask the police chief about that.” Komnas HAM had earlier said its team had found evidence of acts of violence committed by TNI and police members during a raid to disperse the 3rd Papuan People`s Congress on October 17-19 in Abepura, Jayapura, which it said amounted to human right violations. Komnas HAM chief Ifdhal Kasim said to newsmen at the Komnas HAM office here on November 4, Komnas HAM in its investigation from October 24-27 found various facts of violence by security forces against congress participants. He said the human rights violations led to the death of three civilians, namely Daniel Kadepa, Yakobus Samonsabra and Asa Yeuw.

JAKARTA - The government guarantees that people`s personal data under Indonesia`s e-identity card (e-KTP) system is well secured and protected from tampering or duplication, a Home Affairs Ministry official said. “A person`s data in the e-ID cards cannot be easily broken into because it is protected by a technological systems devised by a team of experts in their fields,” Reydonnyzar Moenek, a Home Affairs Ministry official said here Monday. But the e-ID card system also needed to be protected by all components of the nation so that people`s private demographic data could not be used by irresponsible parties, he said. “The successful implementation of the e-ID card program requires
synergy among all components of the nation,” he said. The ministry`s data center had so far been uploaded with the personal data of 8,628,356 Indonesian citizens, and in Jakarta 2.5 million out of the capital`s seven million residents had been registered under the e-ID system. “This shows a significant improvement” he said. The Home Affairs Ministry had not yet decided on the use of one out of two printing machine brands to produce the e-ID cards. According to Moenek, the government would prepare 13 printing machines with a maximum print capacity of 20,000 e-ID cards per day. The test machine has been running for a week with printing ability of about 6,000 to 10,000 cards per day for one machine.
Government mulling revision of geothermal energy price policy Antara
JAKARTA - The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry is considering to revise its regulation on the prices of electrical power originating from geothermal energy, an official said. The geothermal energy prices could not be generalized for all
parts of the country, the ministry`s director general of renewable energy and energy conversion, Kardaya Warnika said here on Monday. “Indonesia has vast territory. The condition of its areas is different from one another,” he said. The price of geothermal energy in areas which had geothermal energy sources and only fuel oils as
other energy might be higher than that of other areas in the country, he said. He said the ministry was studying the idea of revising the ministerial regulation number 2 of 2011 on the price of electrical power bought from geothermal power plants. “We hope that the revision will be accomplished by the end of this
year,” he said. Under the ministerial regulation, the government requires state electricity firm PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) to buy electrical power from geothermal power plants at a maximum of 9.7 cent dollar per kWh. The ministry`s director general of geothermal energy, Sugiharto
Harsoprayitno, meanwhile said the government would use fuel oil prices as reference to set geothermal energy prices. “If the use of fuel oil in an area reaches 30 cent dollar per kWh, the price of geothermal energy may be higher than 9.7 cent dollar per kWh thereby it will attract investors,” he said.

Bali’s exports to Australia 23.7 million US Dollars Antara
DENPASA - ali s non-oil gas commodity market share to Australia had been encouraging so that the foreign trade of handicraft goods to that country reached 2 .7 million S dollars in the January-September 2 period. “Australia’s non-oil gas foreign exchange earnings averaged 2.6 million S dollars per month in that period still in-conducive to the current global economic condition,� head of the Bali industrial and trade export agency Putu Bagiada said here on Saturday. The non-oil gas foreign exchange from Australia increased by .5 pct compared to the exports in last year’s same period of only 22.7 million dollars, and expected to continue to increase up the end of this year. Bali’s tourism development had caused a big increase to foreign trade, especially artistic handicraft
articles and the products of Bali exported to Australia according to the increase of the number of Australian tourists to the island paradise. According to the Bali central bureau of statistics, the number of Australian tourists enjoying the natural beauty and Bali’s art and cultural unique products reached 585,693 in the January-September 2011 period plus 25 pct compared to last year’s same period of 68,757. 7KH ÀRZ RI $XVWUDOLDQ WRXULVWV to Bali played a 28.5 pct of all international visitors going to the island paradise totaling 2,052,083

Visitors inspect vehicles displayed at a Toyota Motor Corp. showroom in Tokyo Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2011. Toyota says its July-September profit dropped 18.5 percent to 80.4 billion yen ($1 billion) as it made and sold fewer cars because of parts shortages caused by the March tsunami disaster in northeastern Japan.
Gloomy outlook for China exporters Many factories to face shut down ON ON - p to a third of ong ong s 5 , or so factories in hina could downsi e or shut by the end of the year as e porters get hit by cost rises and darkening global demand for hinese goods, a ma or ong ong industrial body said on Tuesday. The Federation of Hong Kong Industries, which represents around 3,000 industrialists running factories in China, said it expected orders in the second half of this year and the first half of 2012 to fall between 5-30 percent. The European debt crisis and a fragile .S. economy have depressed this year’s Christmas orders, Stanley Lau, deputy chairman of Hong Kong’s leading industrial promotion body, told a news briefing. He said a consolidation was on the cards, with around a third of Hong Kong’s 50,000 or so factories in China likely to scale down operations or close by year-end. “We feel that this is not an overestimate,” said Lau, who is also the owner of a Hong Kong watch factory in China, citing higher raw material costs and ris-
ing factory worker wages, which had already risen up to 20 percent this year. “Many (factory owners) can’t see when the market will have a rebound so they are trying to cut their losses by closing, before all their money is gone,” Lau said. Lau added, however, that this wasn’t a definitive estimate and that a brightening of market conditions could allow many industrialists to recover swiftly and scale up capacity. He didn’t give specifics on how many factories might close. ne additional risk on the near hori on, however, was the specter of yet another round of expected minimum wage hikes from between 18-20 percent on January 1 in a number of key factory regions in southern China, Lau warned. He said his federation and a
number of Hong Kong industrialists were now lobbying local Chinese governments to free e plans for this wage hike. “If we continue to see labor costs keep increasing, in the future the Hong Kong industries operational pressures will become more and more severe,” he told reporters. A Reuters on-the-ground survey at Asia and China’s largest trade event, the Canton Fair in southern China, found that many factory owners were now bracing for another severe round of factory closures given a sharp drop in orders from Western customers, primarily in the major market of Europe. During the 2008-09 financial crisis, thousands of factories in the Pearl River Delta closed and millions of migrant workers were laid off.
AS IN TON Americans borrowed more in September to buy cars and attend college, but they charged less to their credit cards for a third straight month. 7KH ¿JXUHV VXJJHVW WKDW FRQVXPers are growing more cautious about taking on high-interest debt in a weak economy. Total consumer borrowing rose by 7. billion in September, the Federal Reserve said Monday. In August, it had fallen by the most in 16 months. The September increase reflected a 5.8 percent increase in borrowing in the category that includes car and student loans. But the category that covers credit card purchases dropped 1 percent after larger declines in July and August. Credit card use has sunk nearly 19 percent since September 2008, the height of the financial crisis. For many consumers, adding debt with high interest rates is too risky when jobs are scarce, pay raises are few and unemployment has been stuck near 9 percent for more than two years. “Households continue to prefer cash over credit as employment, income and wealth prospects remain feeble,” said Gregory Daco, principal .S. economist at IHS Global Insight. The average annual percentage rate, or APR, on credit cards ticked up for variablerate credit cards to 1 . 6 percent and was unchanged at 13.71 percent for fixed-rate credit cards, according Bankrate.com. Auto loans are far cheaper. The average rate for a 8month new-car loan was 5.31 percent last week. The average rate for subsidi ed student loans was .5 percent last year, according to Student Loan Consolidator.com. Loans not subsidi ed by the federal government are capped at 6.8 percent through 2012. Earlier this year, many economists worried the economy was at risk of slipping back into another recession. In August, the government said the economy grew at an annual rate of just 0.9 percent in the first half of the year, and Europe’s debt crisis jolted financial
markets. Those fears have since eased. The economy grew at an annual rate of 2.5 percent in the JulySeptember period, the government said, the best quarterly growth in a year. Consumer spending grew three times as fast as it had in the spring. Still, growth would have to be nearly twice as high consistently to make a major dent in the unemployment rate, which has been stuck near 9 percent for more than two years. And economists worry that the summer spending gains can’t be sustained. Americans spent more in the July-September quarter even though they earned less. And they used their savings to make up the gap. Troy Davig, an economist at Barclays Capital, said he expects consumers to borrow more in the coming months as the economy improves. “Barring any major shocks, I think we will see gradual improvement,” Davig said. “But we are not expecting anything dramatic in terms of credit growth.” Without more jobs and higher pay, consumers may be forced to cut back on spending. That would slow growth. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. n Friday, the government said the unemployment rate dipped to 9 percent in ctober from 9.1 percent, where it had been stuck for three months. The nation added 80,000 jobs, barely enough to keep pace with population growth. Households began borrowing less and saving more when the country fell into a recession and unemployment surged. While economists believe Americans will gradually increase borrowing in coming months, they do not expect consumers to load up on debt the way they did during the housing boom. Americans felt wealthier then and were more willing to take on added debt because of the soaring value of their homes. The Federal Reserve’s borrowing report covers auto loans, student loans and credit cards. It excludes mortgages, home equity loans and other loans tied to real estate.

Spokesman says Bieber will take paternity test
In this frame grab from video, deputies place handcuffs on Dr. Conrad Murray after his conviction on involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of pop star Michael Jackson, in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday, Nov. 7, 2011.
Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA — Justin Bieber will take a paternity test and then he plans to sue the woman who has filed a paternity suit against him, a representative for the teen pop star said Monday. Matthew Hiltzik said the 17-year-old singer will take a paternity test when he returns to the U.S. within the next two weeks. He also said Bieber’s team plans to “vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to protect Justin.” Mariah Yeater filed the paternity suit last week in San Diego Superior Court. She said she had just turned 19 when she and Bieber, then 16, had a brief sexual encounter after one of the singer’s concerts last fall in a backstage bathroom at Los Angeles’ Staples Center. Bieber has said he’s never met Yeater and has denied allegations that he fathered Yeater’s 3-monthold child. The singer was in London on Monday to switch on the Christmas lights at the city’s two biggest shopping malls. Thousands of young and mostly female fans waited hours for Bieber to appear. Bieber traveled the 12 miles between the malls by helicopter. The star, who won two prizes at Sunday’s MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast, told fans that his favorite thing about London was “all the girls.” Bieber said backstage Monday that despite the ups and downs, he was grateful for his fans. “I take it with a grain of salt. It’s been incredible, Justin my fans are amazing and Bieber I wouldn’t have it any other way,” he said.

Guilty verdict for Jackson doctor ends latest saga Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES — The single word, “Guilty,” brought a muffled shriek in the gallery of the packed courtroom and tears from Michael Jackson’s family, but no reaction from the doctor convicted of supplying the King of Pop with the drug he craved for sleep. With the snap of handcuffs, another chapter in the bizarre saga surrounding Jackson’s life came to a close, and the man who once envisioned a glamorous career as the music icon’s personal physician was led from the courtroom. Dr. Conrad Murray was going to jail for involuntary manslaughter. Murray’s face was grim but betrayed no emotion. In a few minutes, his life had been shattered and it was likely he would never practice medicine again. It was a precipitous fall for a man who told his patients he had been given “a once in a lifetime opportunity” for which he was giving up his practice. At 58, he planned to devote himself to one patient, Jackson, who would escort him into a world of glamor and celebrity. They were going to London for Jackson’s spectacular comeback concerts. All of that ended on June 25, 2009,
Avril A il L Lavigne, i Brody Jenner attacked in Los Angeles Reuters
LOS ANGELES - Canadian singer Avril Lavigne and her boyfriend are recovering after being attacked outside the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood in the early hours of Sunday morning. Celebrity news website TMZ.com reported that five people attacked Lavigne and “The Hills” star Brody Jenner outside of the iconic Hollywood hotel. Lavigne, 27, whose hit sin-
gles include “Sk8er Boi” and “Girlfriend,” addressed the incident on Twitter. “I don’t fight. I don’t believe in it. To clear things up I got attacked by 5 people last night out of nowhere. Not cool...” Lavigne posted, adding that she had suffered a black eye, bloody nose, hair ripped out, scratches, bruises and cuts. “So not ok to be abusive to others. Violence is NEVER the answer,” the singer said. Jenner,
28, the step-brother of the celebrity Kardashian siblings, also posted about the incident on Twitter, saying “Just got of the hospital with a new scar on my face.” No arrests have been made, although a spokesman for Los Angeles Police Department told Reuters they were aware of a “skirmish outside in that area on Sunday morning.” Lavigne’s representatives were not immediately available for comment.
in a Holmby Hills mansion where he gave his difficult patient what he wanted — an operating room anesthetic that Jackson called his “milk,” the only thing the singer trusted to put him to sleep. Now Murray faces up to four years in prison, although overcrowding makes it unlikely he’ll serve that long. Jurors heard hours of testimony about propofol, the drug that killed Jackson, and they listened while defense attorneys blamed the singer for his own death, suggesting it was he, not Murray, who injected the fatal dose. Did they believe that? Jurors weren’t saying. In fact, they said nothing after their verdict. But they didn’t have to find that Murray administered the dose that killed Jackson, only that the doctor was primarily responsible for the singer’s death. Their deliberations were short, less than nine hours over two days, presided over by the foreman, a 45-yearCanadian singer Avril Lavigne attends an opening ceremony of Gap Flagship Ginza in Tokyo March 3, 2011.

old management consultant who had previously been a classical musician and had served on a jury before. Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor praised the panel’s dedication and was harsh in his comments about Murray after the jury left the room. “This is a crime where the end result (was) the death of a human being,” the judge said. “Dr. Murray’s reckless conduct in this case poses a demonstrable risk to the safety of the public” if he remains free on bond, the judge said. He then ordered Murray taken into immediate custody and held without bail pending sentencing Nov. 29. Prosecutors will address whether Murray should pay restitution at a later hearing and the physician is being pursued by Jackson’s father in a wrongful death lawsuit. Defense attorney Ed Chernoff said the verdict was a disappointment and would be appealed. Asked how Murray took the verdict, Chernoff said, “he’s a pretty strong guy.” Regarding Murray’s future, he said, “the keys to his handcuffs belong to the judge. We certainly would like to do anything we can to keep him from going to prison.”

LOS ANGELES — Cave painters during the Ice Age were more like da Vinci than Dali, sketching realistic depictions of horses they saw rather than dreaming them up, a study of ancient DNA ďŹ nds. It’s not just a matter of aesthetics: Paintings based on real life can give ďŹ rst-hand glimpses into the environment of tens of thousands of years ago. But scientists have wondered how much imagination went into animal drawings etched in caves around Europe. The latest analysis published online Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences focused on horses since they appeared most frequently on rock walls. The famed Lascaux Cave in the Dordogne region of southwest France and the Chauvet Cave in southeast France feature numerous scenes of brown and black horses. Other caves like
the Pech Merle in southern France are adorned with paintings of white horses with black spots. Past studies of ancient DNA have only turned up evidence of brown and black horses during that time. That led scientists to question whether the spotted horses were real or fantasy. To get at the genetics of equine coat color, an international team led by the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Germany analyzed DNA from fossilized bones and teeth from 31 prehistoric horses. The samples were recovered from more than a dozen archaeological sites in Siberia, Eastern Europe, Western
Europe and the Iberian peninsula. It turned out six of the horses had a genetic mutation that gives rise to a spotted coat, suggesting that ancient artists were drawing what they were seeing. Brown was the most common coat color, found in 18 horses. Researchers who were not part of the study praised the use of genetics, saying it supports their observations. Paleoanthropologist John Shea of Stony Brook University in New York said he was not surprised that cave artists were in tune with their surroundings since they needed to know all they could about their prey to hunt them. “These artists were better observers of their natural environment than many humans are today,� Shea said in an email. Just because cave art was rooted in reality doesn’t mean Ice Age painters lacked creativity.

The guardians of the world’s most important standards of weights and measures have turned to the weird universe of quantum physics to try to resolve a dilemma. To the bafement of scientists, a cylinder of metal sitting in a closely-guarded strongbox that is the global benchmark for the kilogram is changing mass. The enigma doesn’t affect anyone who wants to buy 500-milligramme tablets of aspirin, half a kilo of carrots or a 50,000-tonne cruise ship. But it poses a hefty theoretical challenge to physicists, and complicates the work of labs which need ultra-precise, always-standard measurement. Since 1889, the kilogram has been internationally deďŹ ned in accordance with a piece of metal kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (known by its French acronym of BIPM), in the Paris suburb of Sevres.
Ninety-percent platinum and 10-percent iridium, the British-made cylinder was proudly deemed at its founding to be as inalienable as the stars in the sky. It is kept under three glass cases in a safe in a protected building, the Pavillon de Breteuil. In 1992 came a shock: the famous kilo was no longer what it should be. Measurements made over a century showed that the prototype had changed by around 50 microgrammes -- the equivalent of a tiny grain of sand 0.4 millimetres (0.015 inches) in diameter -- compared to six other kilos also stored in Sevres. “Actually, we’re not sure whether it lost mass or gained it,â€? Alain Picard, director of the BIPM’s Mass Department, told AFP. “The change may be to due to surface effects, loss of gas from the metal or a buildup of contaminant.â€? The skinnier (or fatter) kilo became more than a scientiďŹ c curiosity.

WAKO, Japan — Honda’s humanshaped robot can now run faster, balance itself on uneven surfaces, hop on one foot and pour a drink. Some of its technology may even be used to help out with cleanup operations at the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant. Honda’s demonstration of the revamped “Asimoâ€? on Tuesday at its Tokyo suburban research facility was not only to prove that the bubble-headed childlike machine was more limber and a bit smarter. It was a way to try to answer some critics that Asimo, ďŹ rst shown in 2000, had been of little practical use so far, proving to be nothing more than a gloriďŹ ed toy and cute showcase for the Honda Motor Co. brand.
Honda President Takanobu Ito told reporters some of Asimo’s technology was used to develop a robotic arm in just six months with the intention of helping with the nuclear crisis in northeastern Japan. The mechanical arm can open and close valves at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, which went into meltdown after the March tsunami, according to Honda. The automaker is working with the utility behind the problem plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co., to try to meet demands to bring the plant under control. Ito acknowledged that the ďŹ rst idea was to send in Asimo to help out, but that was not possible because the robot cannot maneuver in rubble, and its delicate computer parts would malfunction in radiation.
But in Tuesday’s demonstration, Asimo was able to walk without falling over 2 centimeter (0.8 inch) padded bumps on the oor. It can also now jog faster than it did in 2005, at 9 kilometers per hour (5.6 mph), instead of the earlier 6 kph (3.7 mph), pushing better with its toes so its run was smoother and not as jerky. Asimo was also able to distinguish the voices of three people spoken at once, using face recognition and analyzing sound, to ďŹ gure out that one woman wanted hot coffee, another orange juice, and still another milk tea. The new Asimo got improved hands as well, allowing individual movement of each ďŹ nger, so it could do sign language. “My name is Asimo,â€? it said, making the signs of its words with stubby ďŹ ngers. It also opened a thermos bottle and gracefully poured juice into a paper cup.

Jagielka injury opens door for Terry to face Spain Reuters
LONDON - England skipper John Terry could be on the bench or even play against world and European champions Spain on Saturday, while being investigated by the police and the English FA for alleged racist remarks in a Premier League match. Terry, who has strongly denied the allegations, was named in the England squad by coach Fabio Capello on Sunday after originally being told he would not play because the Italian wanted to try out younger players in the friendlies against Spain and then Sweden next week. However, an injury to Everton centre-back Phil Jagielka, who is suffering from a hairline fracture of the toe and is expected to be sent home later on Wednesday, means Terry may be required. Capello also has central defenders Gary Cahill and Joleon Lescott in his squad but could call up replacements, including Rio Ferdinand, the brother of Anton, who Terry allegedly insulted when Chelsea played Queens Park Rangers two weeks ago.
Adrian Bevington, the managing director of Club England told reporters that it was entirely up to Capello who he now picked to play against Spain and Sweden in the second friendly on Nov.15. “What Fabio chooses to do now with picking John or not, in terms of playing or being captain, that’s up to Fabio to decide,� he said. “We genuinely do not have any input or involvement in that. In the same way with the squad selection, that was Fabio’s decision amd we supported him in that. “There were discussions with Fabio last week and there was absolutely no disagreement whatsoever.� The Terry case has split opinion in England with some arguing that Terry is innocent until proven guilty of insulting Ferdinand and
others opposed to him being in the team at all. Former England striker Ian Wright said on Tuesday: “It seems no-one at the FA has the balls to stand up to John Terry and say ‘you may want to play, but it would be better if you stayed at home.’ John Terry should be nowhere near the England squad. “I understand the fact you’re innocent until proven guilty but that doesn’t mean the captain of our country’s football team should be involved in two friendlies while being investigated over allegations of making racist remarks.â€?

Stoner threatens to leave over rules
Casey Stoner

MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner has warned he will have little interest in staying in the championship if the regulations are steered more towards productionbased machinery. Series promoter Dorna is heavily pushing the new Claiming Rule Teams system, which allows elements of modified production machinery. In addition to several new teams stepping up to MotoGP next year under the CRT regulation, a number of current satellite squads are expected to ditch their pure prototypes to run CRT bikes, amid suggestions that the system could form the basis of MotoGP’s future.
But Stoner said he felt a move too far towards a lowertechnology formula would be the wrong choice for MotoGP. “I think if we kill prototypes then we may as well be racing touring cars,” he said. “It’s no different to this. It’ll definitely take everything out of the racing for me.
“I won’t find the same interest to the point where you can maybe get a street bike, put a different chassis on it, a bit of suspension and this and that, and have a competitive bike. “This [prototype rules] is the way it’s been for so many years. There have been a few things recently about costs, which have definitely increased, and the amount of personnel needed to run these bikes. They’re definitely more complicated than the old 500cc. “But if it does change like
that [to more productionbased rules] then it’s definitely going to be disappointing for me and I don’t know if I’d want to be a part of it.” Yamaha’s Ben Spies said he was also concerned about the prospects of a CRT-based future for the championship, though he acknowledged that the global financial system might force radical change. “The way the economy’s going, I hope I have a job in 2013, so I’m not worried about a CRT bike right now, that’s for sure,” he said. “But I’m not the biggest fan of it.”
Teams to try experimental soft tyre compound FORMULA 1 teams will get to try out an experimental soft compound tyre during Friday practice at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as Pirelli continues to make preparations for tweaks to its 2012 rubber. Now that the world championships have been clinched, Pirelli has been evaluating its options for next year - and this will include the soft tyres being trialled at Yas Marina on Friday, plus a limited number of 2012spec rubber being made available for the post-event young driver test. Speaking about the plans for the weekend, Pirelli director of motorsport Paul Hembery said: “At this point in the season, our emphasis is obviously on refining our tyre choices for
next year, which is why we are seeing some new tyres during free practice here and the young driver test. “With very limited opportunities for testing during the season, this is important for us to collect information as we develop our strategy for 2012, which will feature tyres that are a bit different from this year’s range. “We’re very familiar with the Yas Marina circuit as a testing venue so we’re confident that the tyre choice we have made for the race should suit the characteristics of the track. “Abu Dhabi is an absolutely fantastic facility with some good overtaking opportunities, so we’re very pleased to be celebrating our first anniversary there.”
