Vast Spy System Loots Computers in 103 Countries TORONTO A vast electronic spying operation has infiltrated computers and has stolen documents from hundreds of government and private offices around the world, including those of the Dalai Lama, Canadian researchers have concluded. In a report to be issued this weekend, the researchers said that the system was being controlled from computers based almost exclusively in China, but that they could not say conclusively that the Chinese government was involved. The researchers, who are based at the Munk Center for International Studies at the University of Toronto, had been asked by the office of the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan leader whom China regularly denounces, to examine its computers for signs of malicious software, or malware. Their sleuthing opened a window into a broader operation that, in less than two years, has infiltrated at least 1,295 computers in 103 countries, including many belonging to embassies, foreign ministries and other government offices, as well as the Dalai Lama's Tibetan exile centers in India, Brussels, London and New York. The researchers, who have a record of detecting computer espionage, said they believed that in addition to the spying on the Dalai Lama, the system, which they called GhostNet, was focused on the governments of South Asian and Southeast Asian countries. Intelligence analysts say many governments, including those of China, Russia and the United States, and other parties use sophisticated computer programs to covertly gather information. The newly reported spying operation is by far the largest to come to light in terms of countries affected. This is also believed to be the first time researchers have been able to expose the workings of a computer system used in an intrusion of this magnitude. Still going strong, the operation continues to invade and monitor more than a dozen new computers a week, the researchers said in their report, “Tracking 'GhostNet': Investigating a Cyber Espionage Network.” They said they had found no evidence that United States government offices had been infiltrated, although a NATO computer was monitored by the spies for half a day and computers of the Indian Embassy in Washington were infiltrated. The malware is remarkable both for its sweep in computer jargon, it has not been merely “phishing” for random

consumers' information, but “whaling” for particular important targets and for its Big Brother-style capacities. It can, for example, turn on the camera and audiorecording functions of an infected computer, enabling monitors to see and hear what goes on in a room. The investigators say they do not know if this facet has been employed. The researchers were able to monitor the commands given to infected computers and to see the names of documents retrieved by the spies, but in most cases the contents of the stolen files have not been determined. Working with the Tibetans, however, the researchers found that specific correspondence had been stolen and that the intruders had gained control of the electronic mail server computers of the Dalai Lama's organization. The electronic spy game has had at least some real-world impact, they said. For example, they said, after an e-mail invitation was sent by the Dalai Lama's office to a foreign diplomat, the Chinese government made a call to the diplomat discouraging a visit. And a woman working for a group making Internet contacts between Tibetan exiles and Chinese citizens was stopped by Chinese intelligence officers on her way back to Tibet, shown transcripts of her online conversations and warned to stop her political activities. The Toronto researchers said they had notified international law enforcement agencies of the spying operation, which in their view exposed basic shortcomings in the legal structure of cyberspace. The F.B.I. declined to comment on the operation. Although the Canadian researchers said that most of the computers behind the spying were in China, they cautioned against concluding that China's government was involved. The spying could be a nonstate, for-profit operation, for example, or one run by private citizens in China known as “patriotic hackers.” “We're a bit more careful about it, knowing the nuance of what happens in the subterranean realms,” said Ronald J. Deibert, a member of the research group and an associate professor of political science at Munk. “This could well be the C.I.A. or the Russians. It's a murky realm that we're lifting the lid on.” A spokesman for the Chinese Consulate in New York dismissed the idea that China was involved. “These are old stories and they are nonsense,” the spokesman, Wenqi Gao, said. “The Chinese government is opposed to and

strictly forbids any cybercrime.” The Toronto researchers, who allowed a reporter for The New York Times to review the spies' digital tracks, are publishing their findings in Information Warfare Monitor, an online publication associated with the Munk Center. At the same time, two computer researchers at Cambridge University in Britain who worked on the part of the investigation related to the Tibetans, are releasing an independent report. They do fault China, and they warned that other hackers could adopt the tactics used in the malware operation. “What Chinese spooks did in 2008, Russian crooks will do in 2010 and even low-budget criminals from less developed countries will follow in due course,” the Cambridge researchers, Shishir Nagaraja and Ross Anderson, wrote in their report, “The Snooping Dragon: Social Malware Surveillance of the Tibetan Movement.” In any case, it was suspicions of Chinese interference that led to the discovery of the spy operation. Last summer, the office of the Dalai Lama invited two specialists to India to audit computers used by the Dalai Lama's organization. The specialists, Greg Walton, the editor of Information Warfare Monitor, and Mr. Nagaraja, a network security expert, found that the computers had indeed been infected and that intruders had stolen files from personal computers serving several Tibetan exile groups. Back in Toronto, Mr. Walton shared data with colleagues at the Munk Center's computer lab. One of them was Nart Villeneuve, 34, a graduate student and self-taught “white hat” hacker with dazzling technical skills. Last year, Mr. Villeneuve linked the Chinese version of the Skype communications service to a Chinese government operation that was systematically eavesdropping on users' instant-messaging sessions. Early this month, Mr. Villeneuve noticed an odd string of 22 characters embedded in files created by the malicious software and searched for it with Google. It led him to a group of computers on Hainan Island, off China, and to a Web site that would prove to be critically important.

Weather Experts Warn of Lightning and High Winds in Bali Until May On Thursday, March 19, 2009, Bali's capital of Denpasar fell victim to an unprecedented combination of heavy winds and hail that damaged several homes along the Jalan Pidada area of the city. Heavy hail in combination with high winds destroyed the roofs of several homes, damage that was

largely repaired within one day of the event. Because of the limited extent of the damage, Denpasar municipal officials are still considering if financial aid will be extended to the residents of the affected structures.. Bali-based metereologists report that the hail storm of large ice particles is the first incident of its kind recorded on the island. Rare in tropical equatorial zones, hail storms are usually experienced in sub-tropical areas. The storm that affected Denpasar varied between 3 and 10 minutes, depending on which area of the city is being discussed. Bali weather experts are blaming the ice storm on the presence of large cumulus nimbus clouds, strong winds and high temperatures. More to Come?

A report in the Jakarta Post quotes Bali weather experts as warning of the possibility of strong localized wind squalls and lighting storms from large cumulonimbus clouds expected to form over Bali during the season shift betwen March until May. Well known and avoided by pilots, cumulonimbis clouds are vertical cloud formations that can soar thousands of feet in height with shapes that can resemble mushrooms or giant anvils. Characterized by strong vertical winds patterns, these clouds often carry lightning and thunderstorms. www.balidiscovery.com

Last year, DFAT officials dealt with 974 Australian deaths overseas Up until last week, Foreign Affairs has but this year there have already been only been able to recover $55,462 of 651 deaths in the first half of the year. the $32.4 million Australian taxpayers In six years, the number of deaths paid in 2006 to evacuate 6500 overseas has increased by 44 per Australian citizens from Lebanon during cent. the Israeli bombing.

After the Israeli bombing of Lebanon, the lockdown of Bangkok's airport by protesters and floods in Fiji, Foreign Affairs staff and government members were accused of racism, being too slow, not caring and not "sending planes". Yesterday, the Foreign Minister at the time of the Lebanon crisis, Alexander Downer, told The Australian he was bitterly disappointed at how Australians were abusing consular services overseas, refusing to take responsibility for their own care, ignoring travel advice and complaining about embassy staff.

In 1996-97, there were 2.2 million "resident departures" from Australia; last year it was 5.9 million. The number of consular staff has been cut over that period.

In 2008-09, 970 Australians were arrested abroad. There have been 790 arrests in the first half of this year. Consular officials cannot provide legal advice nor interfere in legal proceedings overseas.

Investigations on cost recovery also disclose huge outstanding losses when those helped in emergencies refuse to contribute to emergency services and flights.

Cheap airfares, the expansion of dangerous "adventure travel" tours, more elderly people going overseas, more tourism to strict religious countries, a drop in travel insurance policies, an increase in the number of mentally unstable people travelling and ignorance of local laws have combined to create a grim toll on Australian tourists.

Indonesian President to Fly Garuda to London for G-20 Conference. When Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono flies to London on April 2, 2009, to attend the G-20 Summit, he'll do so on board an Indonesian registered aricraft operated by national carrier Garuda Indonesia. The President's airplane will be the first Indonesian registered aircraft to fly over and land in Europe since the imposition of a mid-2007 "blacklisting" of Indonesian aircraft by the European Union (EU) who have delcared the country's aviation industry, its planes and pilots as "unsafe." President Yudhoyono's aircraft has been granted a special permit by the EU. Indonesia has been unsuccessful in its efforts to have the current EU aviation blacklist lifted, despite strong praise earned by the

Indonesian air carriers who have adopted IATA air safety standards and the passage of a new aviation law. EU aviation auditors have saluted efforts by Indonesian airlines while expessing strong reservations regarding the government's ability to administer a safe and secure administrative system. The recent replacement of the Director General of Civil

Aviation [See: Clearing the Air] is seen in may quarters as the removal of a major obstacle to the eventual lifting of the EU Blacklisting. Indonesian commercial aviation has operated for more than 2 years without recording a single fatality. The President is reportedly torn between attending the crucial economic summit of world leaders or staying closer to home to monitor a range of pressing domestic issues, including legislative elections on April 9. Some press reports suggest that the Presidnet will make an abbreviated appearance at the G-20 Summit, thereby enuring that Indonesia's viewpoiunt is heard on a number of issues likely to shape the world econonomy for years to come is heard.

Bali's Airport Comes Back to Life Ngurah Rai Airport March 27, 2009, when Returns to Life after its Annual Indonesian Air Transport IDA 24-Hour Holiday. 110 left for Lombok at 8:06 After coming to a complete a.m. followed by the landing of standstill due to the mandatory Garuda 340 from Sruabaya at day of official silence on "Nyepi", 8:18 a.m.. lasting for 24-hours from sunrise In accordance with on March 26, 2009, Bali's tradition and the law, Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport airport was closed to regular "re-awoke" on Friday morning, flights for the entire "Nyepi" period. While scheduled airlines cancelled their services touching on Bali during this pause, technical landings and emergency medical evacuations flights are allowed to operate, if required. According to Bali Post, on Thusday there was an emergency

request from Lion Air on a flight from Mataram (Lombok) to Surabaya seeking permission to land in Bali due to poor weather conditions in Surabaya. However, a sudden improvement in the weather allowed the Lion Air plane to continue and land safely in Surabaya without undertaking the requested landing in a very quiet Bali. www.balidiscovery.com

Giant Internet worm set to change tactics April 1 SAN FRANCISCO - The fastmoving Conficker computer worm, a scourge of the Internet that has infected at least 3 million PCs, is set to spring to life in a new way on Wednesday April Fools' Day. That's when many of the poisoned machines will get more aggressive about "phoning home" to the worm's creators over the Internet. When that happens, the bad guys behind the worm will be able to trigger the program to send spam, spread more infections, clog networks with traffic, or try and bring down Web sites. Technically, this could cause havoc, from massive network outages to the creation of a cyberweapon of mass destruction that attacks government computers. But researchers who have been tracking Conficker say the date will probably come and go quietly. More likely, these researchers say, the programming change that goes into effect April 1 is partly symbolic an April Fools' Day tweaking of Conficker's pursuers, who for now have been able to prevent the worm from doing significant damage. "I don't think there will be a cataclysmic network event," said Richard Wang, manager of the U.S. research division of security firm Sophos PLC. "It doesn't make sense for the guys behind Conficker to cause a major network problem, because if they're breaking parts of the Internet they can't make any money." Previous Internet threats were designed to cause haphazard destruction. In 2003 a worm known as Slammer saturated the Internet's data pipelines with so much traffic it crippled corporate and government systems, including ATM networks and 911 centers. Far more often now, Internet threats are designed to ring up profits. Control of infected PCs is valuable on the black market, since the machines can be rented out, from one group of bad guys to another, and act as a kind of illicit supercomputer, sending spam, scanning Web sites for security holes, or participating in network attacks. The army of Conficker-

26

infected machines, known as a "botnet," could be one of the greatest cybercrime tools ever assembled. Conficker's authors just need to figure out a way to reliably communicate with it. Infected PCs need commands to come alive. They get those commands by connecting to Web sites controlled by the bad guys. Even legitimate sites can be co-opted for this purpose, if hackers break in and use the sites' servers to send out malicious commands. So far, Conficker-infected machines have been trying to connect each day to 250 Internet domains the spots on the Internet where Web sites are parked. The bad guys need to get just one of those sites under their control to send their commands to the botnet. (The name Conficker comes from rearranging letters in the name of one of the original sites the worm was connecting to.) Conficker has been a victim of its success, however, because its rapid spread across the Internet drew the notice of computer security companies. They have been able to work with domain name registrars, which administer Web site addresses, to block the botnet from dialing in. Now those efforts will get much harder. On April 1, many Confickerinfected machines will generate a list of 50,000 new domains a day that they could try. Of that group, the botnet will randomly select 500 for the machines to actually query. The bad guys still need to get only one of those up and running to connect to their botnet. And the bigger list of possibilities increases the odds they'll slip something by the security community. Researchers already know which domains the infected machines will check, but pre-emptively registering them all, or persuading the registrars to neutralize all of them, is a bigger hurdle. "We expect something will happen, but we don't quite know what it will look like," said Jose Nazario, manager of security research for Arbor Networks, a member of the "Conficker Cabal," an alliance trying to hunt down the worm's authors. "With every move that they make, there's the potential to identify who they are, where they're located

and what we can do about them," he added. "The real challenge right now is doing all that work around the world. That's not a technical challenge, but it is a logistical challenge." Conficker's authors also have updated the worm so infected machines have new ways to talk to each other. They can share malicious commands rather than having to contact a hacked Web site for instructions. That variation is important because it shows that even as security researchers have neutralized much of what the botnet might do, the worm's authors "didn't lose control of their botnet," said Michael La Pilla, manager of the malicious code operations team at VeriSign Inc.'s iDefense division. The Conficker outbreak illustrates the importance of keeping current with Internet security updates. Conficker moves from PC to PC by exploiting a vulnerability in Windows that Microsoft Corp. fixed in October. But many people haven't applied the patch or are running pirated copies of Windows that don't get the updates. Unlike other Internet threats that trick people into downloading a malicious program, Conficker is so good at spreading because it finds vulnerable PCs on its own and doesn't need human involvement to infect a machine. Once inside, it does nasty things. The worm tries to crack administrators' passwords, disables security software, blocks access to antivirus vendors' Web sites to prevent updating, and opens the machines to further infections by Conficker's authors. Someone whose machine is infected might have to reinstall the operating system.

Daylight savings glitch causes havoc The millennium bug may have been a dud, but the daylight savings glitch has struck - yet again. Telstra denies it was responsible for an electronic hiccup that caused havoc yesterday across the country when mobile phones, BlackBerries and other personal digital assistants changed their internal clocks a week early, leaving countless people an hour late. Have you been affected by the glitch? Email us at [email protected] A Telstra spokesman said the company was blameless. He said many devices had "factory software settings" that did not always detect that daylight savings had been extended to the first Sunday in April and overrode Telstra's network settings. The telco's product management executive director, Ross Fielding, even posted a warning on Friday, telling people to check their phones. Several Age readers found themselves in a rush after clocks on mobiles from varying networks were reset yesterday morning.

Melbourne resident Joel Williams and his partner Leah Newey found themselves $50 short after being forced to switch her 6.30am flight when their Nokia alarm went off an hour late. Missing her Sydney flight by only five minutes, the Bairnsdale women also forgot to grab paperwork and other important items in her haste to reach the airport. "If Telstra knew this was going to happen then should've SMSd warning people to be careful of this rather than the junk messages they send," Mr Williams said. Rory Grace, the president of the Northbridge Football Club in North Sydney, said he had been "BlackBerried". He had set his PDA for 6.45am, so he could have the goal posts up at his local oval for kick-off at 8am. After being woken by the alarm, his wife, Liz, checked her watch and realised it was lmost 8am. Mr Grace arrived on the heels of another father who was late, thanks to a mobile phone prematurely winding back the time. "The whole morning got shunted back," said Mr Grace, estimating 600

children had their games delayed. At 6.20am another Sydney resident was woken by a phone call. The taxi she had booked the night before to take her to the airport for her Melbourne flight was approaching. Her mobile phone showed it was only 5.20am. "I ran into the kitchen. Both the clock and the microwave said it was 6.20. I got to the airport just in time, just as the plane was boarding." A Telstra operator confirmed the glitch was widespread. The same problem last year affected digital equipment and even caused the clocks at Sydney's Central Station to run an hour behind. A Three representative said the teleco was not at fault and that the phone manufacturers were to blame.

The end of space tourism ... for now A US software mogul who made history this week as the first person to travel to space twice as a tourist could also be the last paying passenger to head into space for several years. These are tough times in the niche industry of space tourism, and not only because the economic crisis means that fewer are willing to stump up the US$35 million (A$50 million) that Charles Simonyi paid for his second trip to space. The ambitions have also been hit by plans to double the crew on the International Space Station from three to six from May, meaning there will no longer be a spare seat for a tourist on future missions. The crew of the International Space Station (ISS) welcomes a new group of visitors on, including former Microsoft executive Charles Simonyi. Simonyi's trip to space was the seventh by a space tourist since the programme was launched by Russia's space agency Roskosmos and US firm Space Adventures in 2001. The joint venture between the two organistions had always seemed unlikely, with the young T-shirted employees from Space Adventures standing side-by-side with the grizzled aeronautics engineers from Roskosmos. "There's nobody confirmed (to be the next space tourist) but things can change, it's an unpredictable situation,"

the CEO of Space Adventures, Eric Anderson, said at the launch site of the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Roskosmos head Anatoly Perminov has said that Simyoni will be "the last or maybe penultimate tourist probably. For a while there'll be a break." Interest has been expressed by the Russian-born founder of the search engine Google, Sergey Brin, who has put down a deposit for a future flight. "He's not confirmed when he will fly but he's in line, we have several others we're talking to, we have people from all over the world, people who take the long view," said Anderson. But dreams of opening space travel for general tourism remain in the realms of science fiction. All those who have gone into space as tourists have been super rich who have undergone months of training. With Simonyi paying US$15 million more than US$20 million forked out by the first space tourist Dennis Tito in 2001, it is inevitable that the economic crisis is hitting the industry. "Every company is affected by the current economic climate. Of course we are affected," said Anderson. But the main problem are developments in the space programme itself, with the ISS crew set to double and the United States to be wholly dependent on Russia for manned launches when the

shuttle is taken out of service. Space Adventures is already talking about renting a space capsule that could take two tourists into space along with a professional commander. Anderson said an initial agreement has already been signed with Roskosmos and missions could start from 2012. The tourist missions would help the space programme by bringing additional supplies to the ISS. "We'd provide additional Soyuz missions... it's something that would be beneficial to the ISS," said Anderson. Looking ahead, he said that partnerships other than with the Russian space agency were feasible, with China and India pressing ahead with their own space programmes. "My belief is within a decade there will be five or six different ways to go to orbit," predicted Anderson. "There'll be competition and there'll be a lot of people who will have the ability to fly in space. We're trying to work with all of them." For Richard Garriott, a multimillionaire computer game designer who flew to space in 2008 and now works for Space Adventures, the next decade will see a "privatization of space" as more outlets emerge offering space travel and the cost of tourism to the final frontier plunges. "Now I think you're going to see a real renaissance of discovering the potential that space offers," he said.

SKIMPY shorts, bikinis and kissing in public could soon be banned in Dubai, say authorities. The glitzy Gulf city has laid down new behaviour guidelines in the local media in an attempt to tame public behaviour. The outlines of the possible new restrictions appeared in Al Emarat al Youm, an Arabiclanguage newspaper with close ties to Dubai's ruling family. Dancing and playing loud music in public will be banned, while couples kissing, holding hands or hugging could face fines or detention. Miniskirts and skimpy shorts would no longer be tolerated outside hotels, while bikini wearers could be forced off public beaches and only permitted on the fenced-off sands of luxury resorts.

Drinking alcohol outside licensed premises or swearing and displaying rude gestures in public could also be outlawed, the newspaper said. The report warned, "pants and skirts are to be of an appropriate length" and "clothing cannot be tight or transparent" with visible body parts. On the beaches Sounds fair enough... If I travel to their country I promise I will respect and obey THEIR laws and will not lobby their government to change THEIR laws to suit me. Now, how a... "appropriate swimwear, acceptable to the culture of the society and its values" must be worn. Authorities are hoping the new laws will give police more leeway for fines or arrests

in places such as beaches and malls. The new rules come a year after a British couple were convicted for having sex on a Dubai beach, and later fined and deported after their prison sentence was suspended. After the sex-on-thebeach trial, Jumeirah Group fivestar hotel chain cautioned guests that drunken behaviour in public is punished severely and recommended tourists be discreet with public displays of affection. Anything more than a "peck on the cheek could offend those around you and even possibly lead to police involvement," the advisory said.

Singer's $110k rings flogged for $150 THIEVES who stole three rings worth around $110,000 from flamboyant country rock singer Jade Hurley hocked them to a pawnbroker for just $150, police say. Police have located most of the $250,000 worth of jewellery stolen from Hurley by thieves. While two rings are still missing, police have located four rings, a professional video camera, a necklace with Hurley's signature J on it and two bracelets. The jewellery, which Hurley said was worth more than $250,000, was left in his motor home, which he parked outside his Gold Coast home. A spokesman for the Burleigh Heads CIB said police first found the trail of jewellery by randomly visiting a pawnbroker who had bought three rings, worth around $110,000, for just $50 each. The spokesman said a 19-year-old Currumbin man had shown proof of ID to the pawnbroker when making

the sale. He was found by police and charged with entering a premises to commit an indictable offence and fraud. "The (19-year-old) told us he saw the news later that night and asked himself: 'What have I got myself into?'" the police spokesman said. The spokesman said once the 19-year-old was located, police were able to follow the trail of the remaining jewellery. Hurley said the discovery of the jewellery, which was not insured and took a lifetime to collect, literally made him sit down and cry with relief and happiness. "This is a good day all round, great day for police because of what they've done, and their competency," he told AAP. "It's also a great day for me now, I can go out and tour and display all the diamond jewellery that the fans come out to see and

mesmerise over." Hurley said he hoped this would send a message out there to other young people who were thinking of vandalising and stealing other people's property. "Not only are they not the brightest kids, but the guy in the hock shop would have put his eye over these diamonds and all of his Christmases would have come at once," he said. Hurley also thanked the mother of a girl also named Jade for emailing him after her daughter was given one of Hurley's J inscribed bracelets as a gift. He said the woman had emailed him personally to let him know they had the bracelet and apologised for the naivety of her daughter.

Traveling to Bali with his wife, Ani, and son, Edi Baskoro, the President was quoted by the national news agency Antara as saying: "Bali will make greater progress and its security will be even more conducive. We will take actions against anyone wanting to disturb the security in Bali." Claiming his Democratic Party has been successful in delivering added prosperity to the Indonesian people, he pledge his proposed second term to

creating greater safety, peace and propserity. Legislatgive elections will be held nation-wide on April 9, 2009. Indonesians will then go to the polls again on July 8, 2009, to participate in only the second direct election of a president in the nation's 64-year history.

Priests get jail for stealing from church MIAMI (Reuters) Two disgraced Roman Catholic priests have been sentenced to prison in a case involving the misappropriation of more than $8 million from their church, a theft one judge called "greed unmasked." John Skehan and Francis Guinan were accused in 2006 of skimming money from collection plates and bequests at their church in Delray Beach, Florida, and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on real estate, travel, rare coins and girlfriends. Skehan, 81, was sentenced Tuesday to 14 months in prison and seven years probation after pleading guilty in January to a charge of grand theft of over $100,000. Guinan, 66, was sentenced Wednesday to four years in prison after taking the case to trial and being found guilty of a lesser charge of theft under $100,000. Judge Jeffrey Colbath

No less that 13 banjars or local community organizations launched ogoh ogoh on Wednesday night, March 25, 2009, much to the amusement of local residents and island visitors alike.

In Kuta the traditional parade started at 7:00 p.m. staring on Jalan Legian, in front of Banjar Pengabetan Kuta, ending in front of the Kuta Art Market. One-by-one, the colorful floats passed by a critical eye of a seated jury

imposed the prison term on Skehan despite requests from prosecutors, defense lawyers and the Diocese of Palm Beach for probation only, the Palm Beach Post reported. "The court finds the defendant is not merely sorry because he got caught, but is truly shameful, embarrassed and remorseful," the newspaper quoted Colbath as saying. "The crime of the defendant was pure greed unmasked. There was not a shred of moral necessity to excuse the defendant's crime," he added. Judge Krista Marx said Guinan must be punished for "unmitigated greed and unmitigated gall," Fort Lauderdale's Sun Sentinel newspaper reported. "No matter how many good works you have performed in your many years as a priest,

tasked to pick the best effort. Local community pecalang, charged with keeping the peace, did their job with the parades passing without significant incident. Assisting the volunteer "Pacalang" peace officers were uniformed policemen from the Kuta police precinct. All this happened against a cacophony of gongs and tin cans struck by local residents seeking to exorcise evil spirits on the eve of the New Year. Torches and small fires filled local compounds, foreshadowing the fires that would consume the ogoh ogoh floats at the end of the evening's festivities, putting final flight to Bhuta Kala, the Balinese take on Metistopholes.

your legacy will always be one of thievery and deceit," she said. When the priests were charged in September 2006, police said they had channeled money from collection plates into secret slush funds, using some of it for church projects and part for vacations, property and gambling trips to Las Vegas and the Bahamas. Investigators said Skehan, a priest for more than 50 years, invested heavily in rare coins, owned a cottage and a pub in Ireland, a $455,000 penthouse condominium in Singer Island, Florida, and another apartment in Delray Beach. Forensic accountants hired by the diocese found that $8.7 million had been misappropriated from the St. Vincent Ferrer Church during the tenures of Skehan and his successor, Guinan.

Before the Parade Passes By Peaceful Ogoh-Ogoh Parades in Bali Defy Official Requests to Suspend Spirited Street Parades on the Eve of 'Nyepi.' Despite official requests to suspend traditional ogoh-ogoh parades as part of this year's Nyepi celebrations, the lively hoisting of papier-mâché floats through the local streets of Bali was still much in evidence in various parts of the island. Local officials and Hindu leaders, concerned that the lively rivalry between local villages had the potential of spilling over into interparty violence in the lead-up period to the April 9th elections, asked Balinese banjars to suspend the much-loved ogoh-ogoh displays this year. A case in point was the village of Kuta, a location known for as a busy shopping and night-life mecca.

BRITON Jenson Button posted only the second win of his decade-long career when he dominated the Australian Grand Prix in the gathering gloom at Albert Park yesterday evening. He won comfortably from teammate Rubens Barrichello to give the reborn Brawn GP a dream quinella in its first start in a formula one race. Toyota's Jarno Trulli drove a tremendous race from 20th and last place on the grid to take third place, just ahead of world champion Lewis Hamilton, who made the best of a difficult weekend by avoiding early and late race carnage to take fourth place. But Trulli's race was ruined soon after it finished when stewards penalised him 25 seconds for overtaking under the safety car. The penalty meant that the Italian dropped out of the points leaving Hamilton to move up and take a spot on the podium. Toyota's Timo Glock, who, like Trulli, was sent to the back of the grid for a technical infringement during Saturday's qualifying, performed strongly to recover for fifth ahead of dual world champion Fernando Alonso in a Renault. The race finished under safety car conditions after a spectacular late-race collision between Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel and BMW's Robert Kubica. The two were dicing for second position albeit at a healthy distance from Button when a passing move by the Pole Kubica on the young German brought the pair unstuck as they came together, smashing bodywork from both cars. The duo, who seemed destined to finish second and third, thus missed out on the chance of a podium appearance and a solid start to their 2009 campaigns. It allowed Barrichello, who had been involved in a series of first-corner collisions on lap one, to inherit second spot, giving Brawn a historic clean sweep.

Not since the peerless Juan Manuel Fangio led home a one-two for Mercedes in the 1954 French Grand Prix had a team taken the top two steps on the podium on its debut appearance. The word on the Brawn cars during a truncated winter testing session was that they were fast. But nobody knew just how fast until the grand prix caravan came to Albert Park at the weekend. That winter testing proved only a foretaste of the speed the team reborn from the wreckage of the collapsed Honda formula one squad possessed. Button and Barrichello were in control during Saturday's qualifying, Button taking pole and Barrichello the other front-row spot. Yesterday the Briton never looked in any danger once he had got off the start line cleanly and avoided the carnage behind him. After a lap, Button had streaked almost four seconds clear of the chasing pack, led by Vettel, and it was clear that, subject to a breakdown or an accident, the 29-year-old Englishman would end his long drought (his only other win was in Hungary in 2006) by taking the chequered flag. The real drama was unfolding behind him, at the start line. Barrichello hit the anti-stall button as his car barely moved, triggering pandemonium as cars pulled out from behind him as they strove to make ground and grab better positions. The Brazilian said he was struck hard from behind by a fast-moving McLaren and he then slewed into the Red Bull of Mark Webber, continuing the Australian's appalling luck in his home grand prix. The BMW of German Nick Heidfeld was another casualty, his race also ruined almost before it had begun.

Button had pulled out a lead of more than six seconds after barely five laps and looked set to space the field until Kazuki Nakajima hit the wall in his Williams, triggering the first safety-car intervention. Button said he struggled as the field slowed trying to keep heat in his tyres, but it didn't look that way as he quickly exerted his authority again. Vettel, the 21-year-old who became the youngest grand prix winner last year when he scored at Monza, showed for much of this race why he is so highly regarded. But the day belonged to the Brawn team that barely five months ago looked to be dead and buried, and its two drivers whose futures, at that time, looked decidedly bleak. "This is not just for me but for the whole team," Button said. "It's a fairytale end to our first race together. I hope that we can continue this way. I know that we will fight to keep this car competitive. "The whole team has done a great job. This has got to continue, its what we deserve. Bring on Malaysia." Button will go to Sepang in Kuala Lumpur for next weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix as an even hotter favourite than he started yesterday. "People may say it's a pity it finished under a safety car but I don't care. I won the race … I am chuffed to bits." But the switch in the starting time of the race did not meet his approval. He was concerned about the worsening visibility as the light faded and the drop in temperatures that affected the cars' performances. "I struggled with the poor light," Button said.

South Africa have claimed a 2-0 win in the Twenty20 International series against Australia after scoring a 17-run victory at Centurion. Chasing 157 to win, Australia scored 8-139, struggling against the spin bowling of Proteas skipper Johan Botha who took 2-16 from four overs. Michael Clarke and David Hussey both scored 27 for Australia. Australia lost David Warner (20) and captain Ricky Ponting (1) in consecutive overs and opener Clarke was bowled by Botha at the start of the 11th over. Callum Ferguson was run out next ball for a duck. David Hussey and Cameron White (23) were both out trying to loft down the ground as spinners Roelof van der Merwe (1-30) and Botha made things tough for Australia's batsmen. With Brad Haddin (16 not out) and James Hopes (18) at the crease, Australia needed 27 from the last over, bowled by Johann Louw (2-36). The pressure was too much for the electronic scoreboard which went

blank and Hopes holed out from the second delivery. Haddin then hit a six before Nathan Bracken made a duck. "We did a lot better tonight, particularly with the ball," Ponting said. "Shane Harwood (2-21) really adjusted well tonight, bowled a lot better. "I thought Ben Laughlin made a really good debut (taking 1-32). "So to give some exposure to those guys is beneficial for us going into a World Cup campaign (in England in June). "They have been two pretty poor results (including Friday's four-wicket loss in Johannesburg) but at the end of the day, the bigger picture is a World Cup." South Africa's man-of-the-match Van Der Merwe completed a fine game on debut after top-scoring with 48. After winning the toss, Australia held South Africa to 5-156. Harwood bounced back from his 048 on Friday in Johannesburg to dismiss JP Duminy for 23 and debutant Roelof van der Merwe for a hard-hitting 48. Limited-overs specialist Bracken

was Australia's most expensive bowler with 1-44. The 24-year-old Van Der Merwe thrilled the sell-out crowd of approximately 20,000 with a 30-ball innings that included two fours and four sixes. Herschelle Gibbs (20) hit Bracken for six in the third over but was bowled next delivery by a slower ball. Laughlin removed AB De Villiers caught at cover for a duck. Robin Peterson made 34 and put on 47 for the third wicket with Duminy. Peterson was bowled by Hopes at 3-71 and when Harwood bowled Duminy to end the 15th over at 4-96, Australia were starting to assert some authority. However Van Der Merwe took 23 from Bracken's bowling in the 16th over including two sixes and two fours. Australia's five-game series of one-day internationals against the topranked Proteas starts in Durban on April 3.

Wallace safe for 2009 season, says Tiger boss TERRY Wallace will coach the Tigers throughout season 2009 despite the club's dismal 83-point round-one loss to Carlton, Richmond president Gary March said yesterday. March, who described Thursday's performance as one of the most disappointing he had seen, denied that Wallace's job was on the line. He said he had spoken to Wallace since the game and, as with everyone at the club, the coach was "incredibly disappointed". But he added: "As far as I'm concerned, Terry Wallace is the coach for this year". "It was a very, very, very poor performance but we've got to review our performance over 22 rounds," March told radio 3AW. "We're not going to be reactionary to one poor performance. If you think back 12 months ago we had some really poor performances early in the year and we got our act together and we just missed out on the finals," he said. "Missing out on the finals would be unacceptable to our whole club because we've set ourselves to play in the finals this year. But we're one game in." He said all of Richmond's 22 players had performed below their best, including star recruit Ben Cousins, who received a grade-one hamstring strain in the last quarter. He denied that the club had poorly managed its list, having made five changes last year and introducing 30 new players over the past four years. "We've been fairly brutal in terms of turning over the list but the system doesn't allow you to make nine or 10 changes every year," March said. "Our list has still got holes in it and we're still addressing that." March also revealed that the club had researched Cousins' injury problems throughout his career, including the big hamstring tear he received in his last game

"I wasn't overly concerned with West Coast in 2007. about it, it was just about getting, at The impact of substance three-quarter-time, a bit of massage abuse on a player's physical conditioning and the potential it might a bit of heat through it and just to evaluate things with the medicos." have for injuries had also been He said criticism of thoroughly researched, March said. Richmond's medical staff for letting "They don't believe that that him go back on after he raised the has any impact in terms of the muscles used in your legs in terms of problem was unwarranted. "Since I arrived at Richmond officially on fatiguing and causing extra January 5, I had a different regime to problems," he said. Cousins yesterday described the rest of the group, but I couldn't speak more highly of the way that the setback as a minor hiccup they have got me from the point that compared with what he had I was then to the point that I was in experienced while banned from the game for bringing it into disrepute and round one," he said. "I think I couldn't have done admitting he had a drug problem. "I remember speaking to the anything more to be prepared. I am 30, I have had 18 months out of the game and I was going to cop some sort of injury at some point, you would think. Fairytales rarely happen when you go on to play 22 games and everything falls in your lap. So this is a minor hiccup but certainly something I wouldn't lay blame on the medicos." Cousins said he was not about to give up despite the setback. "It'd be easy for me to sit here and drop my head and say the season's stuffed, my career's over and get all dramatic about it," he said. "(But) it means nothing to the end result. We don't know what is going to happen. This could be a blessing in disguise for me and for Richmond. We've got that big game out of the way and in reality I am a small part of the Richmond Football Club or the Richmond playing group … now we as a group can just get on with footy. "It was a huge reality check (and) in my mind, we were a lot better side than that." Meanwhile, March said he expected a better performance in the club's clash with Geelong next Saturday at Skilled Stadium. "I'm expecting us to go out and play the sort of football we played towards the end of last year," he said, reminding the football public that Richmond was the last club to defeat Hawthorn before it went on to win the 2008 premiership.

AFL medicos about the possibility of my re-introduction to the game, and how I would handle setbacks along the way or injury or poor form, and my response to that was 'this is insignificant compared to some of the lows that I've experienced over the last 18 months'," he told Channel Seven's AFL Footy's the easy bit. This hamstring is, although it's going to be hard to deal with in some respects, it's the easy bit (compared) to where I've come from." Cousins said he felt tightness at the back of his left knee about five minutes before three-quarter-time, and knew straight away it was his popliteus muscle giving him grief, a problem he had effectively managed to play with in the past. "It's just a niggling-type injury, it's a very small muscle that can be played with," he said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Vast Spy System...... In a puzzling security lapse, the Web page that Mr. Villeneuve found was not protected by a password, while much of the rest of the system uses encryption. Mr. Villeneuve and his colleagues figured out how the operation worked by commanding it to infect a system in their computer lab in Toronto. On March 12, the spies took their own bait. Mr. Villeneuve watched a brief series of commands flicker on his computer screen as someone presumably in China rummaged through the files. Finding nothing of interest, the intruder soon disappeared. Through trial and error, the researchers learned to use the system's Chinese-language “dashboard” a control panel reachable with a standard Web

browser by which one could manipulate the more than 1,200 computers worldwide that had by then been infected. Infection happens two ways. In one method, a user's clicking on a document attached to an e-mail message lets the system covertly install software deep in the target operating system. Alternatively, a user clicks on a Web link in an e-mail message and is taken directly to a “poisoned” Web site. The researchers said they avoided breaking any laws during three weeks of monitoring and extensively experimenting with the system's unprotected software control panel. They provided, among other information, a log of compromised computers dating to

May 22, 2007. They found that three of the four control servers were in different provinces in China Hainan, Guangdong and Sichuan while the fourth was discovered to be at a Web-hosting company based in Southern California. Beyond that, said Rafal A. Rohozinski, one of the investigators, “attribution is difficult because there is no agreed upon international legal framework for being able to pursue investigations down to their logical conclusion, which is highly local.”

Girl 'bashed' at Nudgee College dance ONE of Queensland's most prestigious private schools has vowed to review security at its dances after a 13-year-old girl was allegedly bashed by an older schoolgirl. Both girls were guests at a Nudgee College dance on Friday night that attracted more than 1000 students. As the younger girl left the function about 10.30pm (AEST), she was grabbed by her hair from behind, dragged to the ground and punched repeatedly in the head. "She was swearing at me and just kept hitting me. It seemed to go on forever. She must've hit me about 40 times," the Year 9 student at St Rita's College said. Three Nudgee boys came to her aid, pulling the alleged attacker off. The victim was then helped by a security officer who noticed her crying and bleeding.

She was treated for swelling and cuts to her head and sent to hospital for brain scans. The girl's horrified mother yesterday questioned whether security arrangements were sufficient. "I've always had a worry about these dances, the amount of kids congregating at the school. They're just huge," said the woman, who did not want to be named for fear of retaliation against her family. Nudgee principal Daryl Hanly described the unprovoked attack as "really unfortunate".

"We will certainly investigate whether the amount of security was enough," Mr Hanly said. He said 10 college staff, eight security guards and a police officer attended the dance. "I thought it was an overkill, but if it's the other we'll certainly review that. "I would hate to think we would stop such activities in terms of social interaction between allgirl and all-boy schools. It's really a fairly important event." Detectives from Boondall's Child Protection Investigation Unit are investigating the attack, which allegedly involved a 16-year-old girl from Corpus Christi College. Mr Hanly said he would contact the principals from the two all-girl schools today.

7 residents, 1 nurse die in nursing home shooting CARTHAGE, N.C. A gunman barged into a North Carolina nursing home Sunday morning and started "shooting everything," going room to room in a terrifying rampage that killed seven residents most in their late 80s and a nurse who cared for them. Authorities said Robert Stewart also wounded three others, including the Carthage police officer who confronted him in a hallway of Pinelake Health and Rehab and stopped the brutal attack. Officials said the massacre could have been bloodier if the officer had not managed to subdue Stewart. "He acted in nothing short of a heroic way today, and but for his actions, we certainly could have had a worse tragedy," said Moore County District Attorney Maureen Krueger. "We had an officer, a well-trained officer, who performed his job the way he was supposed to and prevented this from getting even worse than it is now." By late Sunday afternoon, Krueger had charged Stewart, 45, of Moore County, with eight counts of first-degree murder and a single charge of felony assault of a law enforcement officer. Authorities offered few other details, allowing only that Stewart was not a patient or an employee at the nursing home and isn't believed to be related to any of the victims. Authorities said they would release more information at a news conference Monday morning. "I don't know if the emotion entirely has set in," said Police Chief Chris McKenzie, a Carthage native who said nothing in his nearly 20-year law enforcement career compared to Sunday's slaughter. "It's a small community built on faith, and faith will get us through." While authorities declined to comment on a possible motive, Stewart's ex-wife said he had been reaching out recently to family members, telling them he had cancer and was preparing for a long trip and to "go away." Sue Griffin said she was married to Stewart for 15 years, and while they hadn't spoken since divorcing in 2001, he had been trying to call her during the past week through her son, mother, sister and grandmother. Griffin said Stewart had once been a painter. She said she had no

idea whether her ex-husband was somehow connected to the nursing home or why he would shoot people there. "He did have some violent tendencies from time to time," Griffin said. "I wouldn't put it past him. I hate to say it, but it is true." Authorities said Stewart began his rampage around 10 a.m. at Pinelake Health and Rehab in the North Carolina Sandhills about 60 miles southwest of Raleigh, firing shots inside and outside the home. It ended when 25-year-old Officer Justin Garner traded gunfire with Stewart in a hallway, wounding the suspect. "He just comes in and just starts shooting everything around," said Sen. Harris Blake, of Moore County, relating the story told by sheriff's officials. Garner was wounded in his leg, and police said Stewart wounded two others. One person remained hospitalized Sunday night at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital in nearby Pinehurst, and police would only say Stewart was in the custody of the Moore County Sheriff. Krueger said the victims were Pinelake residents Tessie Garner, 88; Lillian Dunn, 89; Jessie Musser, 88; Bessie Hendrick, 78; John Goldston, 78; Margaret Johnson, 89; Louise Decker, 98; and nurse Jerry Avent, whose age wasn't immediately available. The facility was closed after the attack as authorities worked to gather evidence inside and out. Krueger declined to say if authorities had moved the surviving residents, including patients with Alzheimer's disease, saying only, "They're safe, which is the primary thing." Beverly McNeill said her mother, Pinelake resident Ellery Chishole, called moments after the gunman stormed into her room and pointed his "deer gun" at her roommate. "They're up here shooting, they're up here shooting," she frantically told her 14-year-old granddaughter, Tavia, over the phone. Chishole told her daughter she hid her face in her shirt so she couldn't see the man or what she expected him to do, McNeill said. He didn't shoot, but left the room and began shooting down the hallway. Friends and family of Pinelake residents and employees started to gather not long after the shooting at the First Baptist Church of Carthage. They were frustrated by the lack of immediate news about who had died, said Lea Chandler, a volunteer with the Moore

County chapter of the American Red Cross. Chandler said she saw two women and their husbands get the news that their mother had been killed. "They were just crying out, 'Why mama?'" Chandler said. "To see people suffer is hard. To see people suffering, not knowing, trying to find information. It's a crime scene. They're not releasing things until people are notified, all next of kin. That's got to be hard. It really had to be hard." Carthage police, Moore County sheriff's deputies and the State Bureau of Investigation conducted a search Sunday afternoon of the nursing home and its parking lot, where the windows of at least two cars were shattered and towed by authorities. Among the items they found was a camouflaged-colored rifle or shotgun, which was leaning against the side of a Jeep Cherokee. Howard McMillian, of Lakeview, said he raced to the scene as soon as he heard about the shooting. His 56-year-old sister lives at the nursing home, and McMillian said his brother had gotten a call from officials saying she was unharmed. "I know she's real nervous," McMillian said. "I just want to make sure she's OK." Carthage is a small town of roughly 1,800 people in the North Carolina Sandhills, an area popular among retirees and home to several noted golf courses, including the famed Pinehurst resort and its No. 2 course that regularly hosts the U.S. Open. Pinelake Health and Rehab was last inspected in May, and the review resulted in an overall five-star or "much above average" rating from federal Medicaid officials. A nursing home Web site said the facility opened in 1993 and has 110 beds, including 20 for those with Alzheimer's disease. Sunday's rampage happened just weeks after a man killed 10 people, including his mother and several other relatives, in the worst mass shooting in Alabama's history on March 10. On March 11, a teen killed 12 people at his former high school in Germany.

Collingwood set to take umpiring complaints to AFL boss Demetriou

Collingwood are set to go straight to AFL boss Andrew Demetriou over the standard of umpiring after their four-point loss to Adelaide Crows at the MCG on Saturday. Because of Magpies coach Mick Malthouse's widely known lack of faith in the head of the AFL umpiring department Jeff Gieschen, it is understood the Magpies want to take their grievances to a higher level. A source close to Collingwood president Eddie McGuire said the

Pies were preparing a case to present to AFL chief executive Demetriou on Monday. It is more likely that any grievances would be referred to AFL general manager of football operations, Adrian Anderson.

decisions that went our way, but then there were a few that we didn't get and we thought we should have," the official said.

Collingwood chief executive Gary Pert was unavailable for comment on Sunday and it was unclear precisely what the Magpies were angry about. McGuire was non-commital on Sunday about which course of action Collingwood would take, though he was fuming after Saturday's loss. "We haven't even sat down as a club yet to discuss it," McGuire said. "I'm sure we'll sit down and have a chat about it, but it's a matter for the coach and the football director."

After the game, Pert said he would have discussions with football manager Geoff Walsh to establish what steps the Pies would take.

An Adelaide official said he was bemused by Collingwood's reaction to the umpires.

The game's free-kick count was 18 to 14 in favour of the Crows.

"All anyone is talking about is the umpiring," Pert said. "We just need to understand the interpretations. We need explanations." At his post-match interview, Malthouse blamed the skill errors of his players, and not umpires, for the loss. "I was very disappointed by the fact that we created the opportunities but weren't able to execute," he said. AFL spokesman Patrick Keane said clubs would usually advise any concerns arising from a match on the following Monday.

Carlton's impressive start has Blues third favourite to win flag A rampaging Carlton are all the rage in betting shops after their round one demolition of Richmond. Yes, it was only the poor old Tigers, but the size of the winning margin and the knowledge they have at least four to come back in to their best 22 has prompted bookmakers to wind them in. TAB Sportsbet was betting $14 the flag about Carlton before Thursday night, but the Blues are now third favourites at $9 behind Geelong and Hawthorn. From a punting perspective, the clearest indicator out of the first round, apart from Carlton, was the fact that the Cats and Hawks again look to be the two best sides in the competition. "And Geelong fans believe Gary Ablett can finally win the Brownlow Medal that has eluded his

family, with some solid betting," Gary Davies of TAB Sportsbet said. "We took a bet of $20,000 on Ablett before the match at $6 and now have him at $4.50. No doubt that punter is on good terms with himself after what appeared to be a best-afield performance." The best-backed team for the round, surprisingly, was Richmond, well supported all around the country and firming from $2.30 to $1.92 with Sportsbet in Darwin. "We took a $30,000 bet on the Tigers at $2.25 and the punters just kept coming for them," Phil Hannah of Sportsbet said. "The other big go was Brisbane's Daniel Rich to win the NAB Rising Star Award, with him being backed from $12 into $4.50. "He won't be a good result for us, although at least Ben Cousins

would appear to be out of Brownlow contention. "He was backed from $67 into $26 with us and was clearly our worst result." Betting on the Richmond-Carlton game created an opening-round record with TAB Sportsbet, with a pool of more than $1.4 million.

TWO RUGBY FRIEND Two 90 year old men, Mike and Joe, have been friends all of their lives. When it's clear that Joe is dying, Mike visits him every day. One day Mike says, "Joe, we both loved rugby all our lives, and we played rugby on Saturdays together for so many years. Please do me one favor, when you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's rugby there." Joe looks up at Mike from his death bed. "Mike, you've been my best friend for many years. If it's at all possible, I'll do this favor for you." Shortly after that, Joe passes on. At midnight a couple of nights later, Mike is awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to him, "Mike... Mike." "Who is it?" Asks Mike suddenly sitting up. "Who is it?" "Mike ... it's me, Joe." "You're not Joe. Joe just died," says Mike. "I'm telling you, it's me, Joe," insists the voice. "Joe! Where are you?" "In heaven", replies Joe. "I have some really good news and a little bad news." "Tell me the good news first," says Mike . "The good news," Joe says, "is that there's rugby in heaven. Better yet, all of our old friends who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we're all young again. Better still, it's always spring time and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play rugby all we want, and we never get tired." "That's fantastic," says Mike . "It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?" "You're on the team for Tuesday's match!”
