Zoo and the local community have fought hard to obtain elephants for the collection in order to remain competitive in winning visitors. The park, owned by a native of Singapadu, prioritizes the employment of local residents. The initial addition of 6 elephants to the Bali Zoo has immediately increased employment with 24 new staff hired to handle the care and feeding of the Sumatran Jumbos. www.balidiscovery.com

The arrest of an American man who broke into a woman's house and tried to suck her blood over the weekend has sparked discussion about the impact of vampire books and movies on youth culture.
Whether pop culture played a role in the attack remains to be seen, as 19-yearold Lyle Monroe Bensley awaits a psychiatric evaluation in jail on burglary charges in Galveston, Texas. Found growling and hissing in a parking lot and wearing only boxer shorts, the pierced and tattooed Bensley claimed he was a 500-year-old vampire who needed to "feed," Galveston Police Capt. Jeff Heyse said. Vampires have been a focal point of literature since Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, "Dracula". But fascination, particularly among young people, has peaked in recent years with the popularity of the "Twilight" books about teenage vampires and the television series, "True Blood." "I think the vampire is a metaphor for the outsider and the predator in all of us," said author Anne Rice, whose Vampire Chronicles series has captured the imaginations of horror fans since the 1970s. "We're all conscious at times of being alone, of being alienated, of being a secret self that fears exposure to the judgments of others. So we feel like vampires. Bensley is now being held in the Galveston County Jail on a $40,000 bond for home burglary with intent to commit a felony. The woman, who lived near Bensley and did not know him, escaped the attack

goodness sake." While Bensley's Texas antics have captured international attention, the delusion of actually being a vampire has been a contributing factor in other criminal cases as well. In 1996, a 16-year-old Kentucky youth obsessed with the role-playing game, "Vampire, the Masquerade," enlisted three other teenagers to go with him to Florida to help kill the parents of his former girlfriend. Two years later, a San Francisco man claiming to be a 2,000-year-old vampire was arrested for slashing the necks of four homeless people, one fatally. A serial killer arrested in England in 1949 allegedly drank a cup of blood from each of his six victims. Rice has interacted with thousands of fans of her Vampire Chronicles novels, but said such intense personal identification with vampires was "quite beyond me." "My readers are romantics. They're into the poetry and the romance of vampires; they don't think they themselves are vampires," Rice said. "I have never personally met anyone in all these years who claimed to be a vampire.
Continued from page 1 welcoming bath. Local villagers were proud that the park had completed the complex rules and requirements needed to win approval from the government to house elephants at the Bali Zoo. Because of the several animal attractions now operating in Bali, both the Bali Balinese temples or pura, while places of worship, are not the permanent domicile of God, but more a intersection between the manifest and spiritual worlds where, on certain occasions, such as the anniversary of a Pura (odalan), God and spirits will take up temporary residence. These holy visitations in Bali are usually accompanied by ministrations delivered by holy men (pedanda), sacred dances and mantra-filled incantations chanted in ancient Sanskrit.

The cow has become a media star in Germany and Austria, having evaded capture for almost three months, with one German company putting up a 10,000 euro ($A13,892) reward for her capture earlier this week. But an Austrian animal sanctuary, which has offered to buy Yvonne to spare her another traumatic trip to the slaughterhouse, is resorting to more unusual means to find the timid animal.

Bali's Growing Crisis of Water: Village of Pemuteran in Northwest Bali Facing Severe Water Shortage.
NusaBali reports that residents in and surrounding of the village of Pemuteran in northwest Bali are compelled to take fewer baths due to the high cost fresh water. For more than a month the cost of one tank of fresh water has risen to Rp. 100,000 Rp. 125,000(US$11.40-US$14.20). As a result, local residents accustomed to bathing at least twice a day are now taking a bath only once every three days. Some residents told the press that they are bathing only once every 5 days.

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 22 When others complain, as somebody's doing nonstop, you can't help but think of ways to cheer them up. Do that now and you'll only be wasting your time. These complaints aren't really about the matter in question. They're designed to get the attention of one particular individual and will continue until that's been achieved. Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21 If you're still brooding over the recent unfair and upsetting antics of certain individuals, it's no surprise. Tempting as it is to try to get back at them, you'd regret it. Ideally, in fact, you'll wait until Mercury ends its retrograde cycle on the 26th. The facts that are revealed then could explain a lot. Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21 By the time the week comes to a close, you'll have had to stand up to certain individuals who're obsessed with details. While this usually drives you crazy, it's worth delving into their concerns. Some of the arrangements you've assumed will continue as they always have are changing, and more dramatically than you know. Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 Hopefully during the past three weeks, while Mercury's been retrograde and causing confusion, you've learned how to go with the flow. While this is the reverse of your nature as a thorough Capricorn, it makes life easier. Better yet, the resulting experiences and encounters take you into new and rather exciting territory. Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18
It's been a week since the powerful Aquarius Full Moon. While you've come to terms with many of the feelings it brought to the surface, others are still puzzling you. Frustrating as this is, certain issues take time to understand. But once you do, you'll realise there was good reason to be patient.
Gemini May 21 - Jun 20 After the exciting if demanding past several weeks, you're ready for a break. It appears in the form of certain complex family or domestic issues. While you'll have no problem dealing with these, they'll be challenging enough to keep you busy but, equally, rewarding enough you'll feel a sense of accomplishment. Cancer Jun 21 - Jul 22 Reassuring as the discussions of the past seven days have been, don't make the mistake of assuming others will do as promised. This has nothing to do with their intentions and everything to do with Mercury still being retrograde. Because of this, even the simplest of plans could change, and change again. Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22
Many people regard obstacles as giving them an opportunity to analyse problems in depth. Being a fire sign and somebody who prefers to take action and ask questions later, you've found recent delays nothing but a nuisance. Still, they are worth investigating. What you learn could help certain eliminate persistent dilemmas.
Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22 You've hoped to sidestep certain unsettling situations. However, judging by the current planetary set up, you can not only resolve these, the resulting insights could apply to other worrying issues. True, this means mustering the courage to tackle them. Still, the results will more than justify the challenge of facing them head on.
Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 19 Waste no time justifying what you feel is right to those who insist on facts. As clear as your instincts are to you, those who are unaware of their own intuition simply can't understand yours. Instead, say the minimum and do what you think wise, allowing the results to testify on your behalf.

French actor Gerard Depardieu outraged fellow passengers by urinating in the aisle of an Air France flight as it prepared to take off forcing the plane to turn back to its parking spot.
A passenger on the flight said Depardieu, 62, the star of movies such as "Jean de Florette" and "Green Card," appeared to be drunk and insisted he be allowed to use the bathroom during takeoff, when passengers must remain seated. When he was asked by a hostess to return to his seat, Depardieu urinated in the aisle. "You could see that he had been drinking, but there were no comments.

A gas station owner in Mississippi was trying to increase his sales. So he put up a sign that read, "Free Sex with Fill-Up." Soon a local redneck pulled in, filled his tank, and asked for his free sex. The owner told him to pick a number from 1 to 10. If he guessed correctly, he would get his free sex. The redneck guessed 8, and the proprietor said, "You were close. The number was 7. Sorry. No sex this time." A week later, the same redneck, along with a buddy, Bubba, pulled in for another fill-up. Again, he asked for his free sex. The proprietor again asked him to guess the correct number. The redneck guessed 2 this time. The proprietor said, "Sorry, it was 3. You were close, but no free sex this time." As they were driving away, the redneck said to his buddy, "I think that game is rigged and he doesn't really give away free sex." Bubba replied, "No it ain't rigged. My wife won twice last week."

The opportunity to put the undermanned Knights to the sword instead became Newcastle's invitation back into the contest, with Akuila Uate cutting the deficit to just two points after Gerard Beale had spilled a clearing kick. The Knights pushed hard after the restart with some strong carries and looked like they had locked it up, only for skipper Kurt Gidley to be held up over the line after a dazzling 20-metre run. Instead of motivating the home side, it signalled the beginning of the end, with Jharal Yow Yeh taking an intercept 90 metres to push the Broncos out by 10 just minutes later. It was one three second-half tries for the visitors with Alex Glenn and Ben Hunt also going over to leave the Knights with just a 32-point lead in points differential over the Rabbitohs, whom they meet in the final round. Newcastle lock Cameron Ciraldo said his side has a lot of work to do if it is to secure its place in the top eight. "We lost a few blokes but [that's] no excuse, we just dropped too much ball, myself included," he said. "We've got to turn around next week. If we win the next two games we deserve to be in the semis then." He said he hopes the Knights get a chance to avenge the loss later in September. "Every time we play them it's probably one of the fastest games we play all year," he said. "Hopefully we meet them again in the semis. "They're too good to give [possession to]. You've got to have more than 50 per cent of the ball and I doubt we had that.

But Melbourne football manager Frank Ponissi rates the looming Sea Eagles clash as the club's "greatest challenge" of the season.

Carney has been linked with a move to France-based Super League side Catalans, with the NRL unlikely to sanction a move to another team in Australia should the Roosters terminate his career with the club. A move to England is also out of the question with the British government rejecting his application for a work permit in 2008 so he could join Huddersfield after being axed by the Raiders. But what is certain is that Carney or Myles, who will join the Titans next season, will not be seen in Roosters colours again this year with the club's senior players believed to have lost patience with the serial offenders. "They haven't been at training for the last couple of weeks, we are rolling along pretty nicely with that crew of guys, so I am not going to upset the applecart," Smith said.

German woman chased away three would-be burglars from her rural farmhouse with her cane. The retired farmer was moving around her house with the help of a walking frame and spotted the intruders -- two men and one woman. She grabbed her cane and started beating the burglars with it. The trio fled the house in a town outside Muenster. "It was quite courageous of her," a police spokeswoman said. "But on the other hand it was also quite dangerous. She was quite fortunate that nothing serious happened.

A dream run at the Ipswich 300 has Craig Lowndes in sight of a first V8 Supercars championship in 12 years.
But the round became a nightmare for Holden team-mate Jamie Whincup. Lowndes, 37, turned back the clock by completing a clean sweep of all three races at Queensland Raceway last weekend after claiming Sunday's 65-lap event. The Holden veteran finished more than a second ahead of Tim Slade with fellow Ford young gun Shane van Gisbergen third. Lowndes - and a pit crew howler - did some major damage to Whincup's series lead after it all went pear-shaped for the Holden star despite qualifying second fastest for Sunday's 200km event. Incredibly Whincup missed the start of the race when he pitted with throttle problems in the warmup lap after an engine cover was inexplicably left in his car by his crew. And when he finally got on the track as the field completed the

Lowndes, who last won a championship in 1999, notched his 80th career win last Sunday just nine behind all-time leader Skaife. Whincup's team boss Roland Dane was livid when he discovered the crew gaffe was behind his champion driver's dramas. "It did happen and it is not a good thing," master of understatement Dane said when asked if the cover had been left on, choking the engine. "I am not happy. "Those things happen. We will get on with it." It was the last thing Dane would have wanted, especially after the team boss had dared a Ford rival to "lift their game" ahead of the Ipswich round. Slade appeared to answer the challenge, placing second, third and second respectively in Ipswich's three races last weekend in a career-best round for the 26-yearold. Holden has already secured the manufacturer's title with six rounds remaining.

T h e A F L h a s reassured debt-ridden Port Adelaide it has a p l a c e i n t h e competition despite woeful results on and off the field. The AFL commission met Port's board as the club spirals towards its first wooden spoon and fourth consecutive year of heavy financial loss.
With reported losses approaching $6.25 million since 2008, Port has been gifted $9 million to survive the next three years. AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou says Port's predominantly young players have been "thrown to the wolves" by first-year coach Matthew Primus. Primus' painful rebuilding has returned just two wins and, this season, the club has recorded its two lowest home crowds. But Demetriou says the $9 million donation from the AFL and Port's licence holder, the SANFL, will ensure the club

Mark Haysman's resignation seven weeks ago and grim finances mean the club is among the league's lowest spenders on the football department. "They have improved their board substantially ... they are going about the right process to appoint a CEO," Demetriou said. "They want to invest further in their football department to put some support around Matthew Primus. "I think they have got some strategic imperatives around building their balance sheet which are very encouraging. "The Port Adelaide balance sheet is actually pretty good compared to a lot of our other clubs." But Demetriou concedes Port, for the fourth successive year, will post a financial loss. "They will report a loss but you have got to remember a $3 million injection has gone into the football club from the SANFL and AFL, so that reduces their loss ... we are not asking for that to be paid back," he said.
first lap, a luckless Whincup was told to come back in to complete a drive-through penalty after being pinged for speeding in pit lane. Whincup drove like a demon to somehow finish 10th before ending up in a sandtrap after coming into contact with Holden's Rick Kelly. Lowndes will fancy his chances of overtaking Whincup and adding a fourth driver's championship to his glittering resume as the series now heads into the endurance rounds - his specialty. The five-time Bathurst champion dominated the rounds last year with Mark Skaife, and will again team up with the five-time

"We reassured the Port Adelaide Football Club that they have the total support of the AFL and again reiterated that they are a very important and vital part of our competition," Demetriou said. "We will do everything we can to help them rebuild their football club, together with the SANFL. "They should put at the bottom of their list of worries the financial situation at the club because we have assured that through the financial package." Demetriou says the AFL supported a revival plan detailed by the Port board on Monday. Port remains without a chief executive officer following he club is among the league's lowest
