Nepal rescuers find 3 bodiesnear crashed US Marine

Nepalese rescuers on Friday found three bodies near the wreckage of a U.S. Marine helicopter that disappeared earlier this week while on a relief mission in the earthquake-hit Himalayan nation, officials said. Nepal’s Defense Secretary Iswori Poudyal gave no details about the nationalities of the victims. The helicopter was carrying six Marines and two Nepalese army soldiers. The wreckage was found near Gothali village in the district of Dolakha. The U.S. Embassy in Nepal had no immediate comment Friday. The discovery of the wreckage, first spotted by a Nepalese army helicopter Friday, followed days of intense search involving U.S. and Nepalese aircraft and even U.S. satellites.

The U.S. relief mission was deployed soon after a magnitude-7.8 quake hit April 25, killing more than 8,200 people. It was followed by another magnitude-7.3 quake on Tuesday that killed 117 people and injured 2,800. The second quake was centered between Kathmandu and Mount Everest, and hit hardest in deeply rural parts of the Himalayan foothills, hammering many villages reached only by hiking trails and causing road-blocking landslides.

Police suspect drug overdose in boxer Tony Ayala Jr.’s

Heroin and a syringe were found next to the body of Tony Ayala Jr., San Antonio police disclosed Thursday in a report that says investigators suspect a drug overdose killed the troubled boxer.
According to a newly released police report, the items were found on a desk next to Ayala’s body, which was found face-down on the floor next to the desk and chair. Investigators said the syringe contained what appeared to be a narcotic and that a ball of heroin wrapped in tape was found on the desk with a cooker cap and a spoon.
There was no sign of trauma on the body, police said.
According to the report, a woman whom officers found weeping over Ayala’s body said the pair had been drinking alcohol and quarrelling in a house they shared the night before. About 1 a.m. Tuesday, he left the house angry, she said. About 7:30 a.m., sensing that something was wrong, she went to the gym owned by the Ayala family where he trained and found his body.
The woman’s name was concealed in the report.
Ayala, a 1979 Golden Gloves middleweight champion, was 19 when he was arrested and later convicted of raping a schoolteacher in New Jersey. He was undefeated in 22 bouts with 19 knockouts and set to fight Davey Moore for a junior middleweight title before the arrest.
After serving 16 years of a 35-year term for rape, Ayala repeatedly ran into legal trouble in Texas as he tried to revive his boxing career. He was shot in the left shoulder by a woman after allegedly breaking into her home and refusing to leave in 2000. He got probation and a short jail term in a plea agreement.
Four years later, Ayala went back to prison for 10 years when he violated parole in the Texas case. He was pulled over for speeding and charged with driving without a license, possession of heroin and possession of pornography.
Ayala was charged in 2003 with having sex with a 13-year-old girl, but the case was dismissed when the girl said she lied about the incident.

God’s revelation behind Sultan’s decisions

After almost two weeks of uncertainty surrounding issues of succession within the Yogyakarta Palace, Sultan Hamengkubuwono X – now Hamengku Bawono X – finally appeared in public on Friday afternoon to clarify the matter.
Speaking at a meeting held at Ndalem Wironegaran, the residence of his eldest daughter Gusti Kanjeng Ratu (GKR) Mangkubumi – formerly GKR Pembayun, the sultan said that the recent decisions he made were based on a revelation from God he received through his ancestors, kings of the Mataram kingdom.
“I don’t mind getting scolded or questioned by my brothers. I will not do anything about it because I would have been afraid of getting scolded by God [if the decisions were not made],” the sultan said before 300 people sitting on the floor of the residence’s joglo hall, listening to his explanation.
The sultan also sat on the floor while giving his explanation, accompanied by his wife GKR Hemas and four of his five daughters.
The sultan, however, declined to give details on how he received the revelation. “I cannot explain further. This is very personal,” he said.
He only called on the people to accept his two recent decisions, called sabda raja (king’s proclamation) and dhawuh raja (king’s command).
During the meeting, the sultan elaborated on sabda raja and dhawuh raja, respectively regarding the change in his royal name and the naming of his eldest daughter as GKR Mangkubumi, which many have seen as an effort to make her his heir.
The sultan also said that the residence of GKR Mangkubumi was chosen as the site to explain the sabda raja and dhawuh raja instead of the palace because he did not want to be accused of gathering the masses at the palace for support.
“This has to be done here and only because it was requested by the people,” Sultan said.
He also said that both decisions were made suddenly because of the timing in which he received the revelation.
“It was clear in the revelation that the decisions had to be made on Wage Thursday [April 30] and Wage Tuesday [May 5],” said the sultan, adding that preparations for both processions were carried out quickly.
He also said that his brothers had been invited to the occasions but none showed up.
“I am OK with it. There are risks to every decision we make.”
With regard to the issue of succession surrounding the issuance of the dhawuh raja, the sultan said that the revelation he received told him to change GKR Pembayun’s title to GKR Mangkubumi. He said that it did not mention anything about naming her a crown princess.
However, he admitted that during the dhawuh raja procession, he told his eldest daughter — after receiving the new title GKR Mangkubumi — to sit on the special chair that only the heir of the palace could sit on.
GKR Mangkubumi, whose complete title is now GKR Mangkubumi Hamemayu Hayuning Bawana Langgeng Ing Mataram, said that she learned about her new title only when she was called to come forward by her father during the procession to receive the title.
“I realize I am bearing a great name in my title. With a great name also comes great responsibility,” said the 43-year-old after the meeting.
Sociologist and Javanese culture observer Bayu Wahyono of Yogyakarta State University (UNY) said that the sultan’s moves had transformed the palace’s regulations.
“Historically and culturally, the Mataram kingdom [the previous name of the palace] has always been open to change,” Bayu said.
Separately, Javanese art practitioner Bondan Nusantara expressed his satisfaction with the sultan’s explanation on the matter. He also expressed hope that the palace would not be divided like the Surakarta Palace.

Wahyu Allah di balik keputusan Sultan

Setelah hampir dua minggu dari ketidakpastian masalah suksesi dalam Istana Yogyakarta, Sultan Hamengkubuwono X – sekarang Hamengku Bawono X – akhirnya muncul di depan publik pada hari Jumat sore untuk mengklarifikasi masalah ini.
Berbicara pada pertemuan yang diadakan di Ndalem Wironegaran, kediaman putri sulungnya Gusti Kanjeng Ratu (GKR) Mangkubumi – sebelumnya GKR Pembayun, sultan mengatakan bahwa keputusan baru-baru ini ia membuat didasarkan pada wahyu dari Allah yang diterima melalui nenek moyangnya, raja kerajaan Mataram.
“Saya tidak keberatan mendapatkan dimarahi atau dipertanyakan oleh saudara-saudara saya. Aku tidak akan melakukan apa-apa karena saya akan takut mendapatkan dimarahi oleh Allah [jika keputusan tidak dibuat], “kata sultan sebelum 300 orang yang duduk di lantai lorong joglo residence, mendengarkan penjelasannya.
Sultan juga duduk di lantai sambil memberikan penjelasannya, didampingi istrinya GKR Hemas dan empat dari lima anak perempuannya.
Sultan, bagaimanapun, menolak untuk memberikan rincian tentang bagaimana ia menerima wahyu. “Saya tidak bisa menjelaskan lebih lanjut. Hal ini sangat pribadi, “katanya.
Dia hanya meminta orang-orang untuk menerima dua keputusan baru-baru ini, yang disebut sabda raja (proklamasi raja) dan raja dhawuh (perintah raja).
Dalam pertemuan tersebut, sultan menguraikan sabda raja dan raja dhawuh, masing-masing mengenai perubahan nama kerajaan dan penamaan putri sulungnya sebagai GKR Mangkubumi, yang banyak dilihat sebagai upaya untuk membuat dia ahli warisnya.
Sultan juga mengatakan bahwa kediaman GKR Mangkubumi terpilih sebagai situs untuk menjelaskan raja sabda dan raja dhawuh bukan istana karena dia tidak ingin dituduh mengumpulkan massa di Istana untuk dukungan.
“Ini harus dilakukan di sini dan hanya karena diminta oleh orang-orang,” kata Sultan.
Dia juga mengatakan bahwa kedua keputusan dibuat mendadak karena waktu di mana dia menerima wahyu.
“Itu jelas dalam wahyu bahwa keputusan harus dibuat pada Kamis Wage [April 30] dan Upah Selasa [5 Mei],” kata sultan, menambahkan bahwa persiapan untuk kedua prosesi dilakukan dengan cepat.
Dia juga mengatakan bahwa saudara-saudaranya telah diundang ke acara-acara tetapi tidak muncul.
“Saya OK dengan itu. Ada risiko untuk setiap keputusan yang kita buat. ”
Berkenaan dengan masalah suksesi seputar penerbitan raja dhawuh, sultan mengatakan bahwa ia menerima wahyu menyuruhnya untuk mengubah judul GKR Pembayun untuk GKR Mangkubumi. Dia mengatakan bahwa hal itu tidak menyebutkan apa-apa tentang penamaan nya seorang putri mahkota.
Namun, ia mengakui bahwa selama prosesi dhawuh raja, ia mengatakan kepada putri sulungnya – setelah menerima gelar baru GKR Mangkubumi – untuk duduk di kursi khusus yang hanya pewaris istana bisa duduk di.
GKR Mangkubumi, yang judulnya lengkap sekarang GKR Mangkubumi Hamemayu Hayuning Bawana Langgeng Ing Mataram, mengatakan bahwa dia belajar tentang judul barunya hanya ketika ia dipanggil untuk maju oleh ayahnya selama prosesi untuk menerima gelar.
“Saya menyadari saya membawa nama besar dalam judul saya. Dengan nama besar juga datang tanggung jawab besar, “kata pemain berusia 43 tahun setelah pertemuan.
Sosiolog dan pengamat budaya Jawa Bayu Wahyono dari Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY) mengatakan bahwa langkah sultan telah mengubah peraturan istana.
“Secara historis dan kultural, Mataram kerajaan [nama sebelumnya istana] selalu terbuka untuk berubah,” kata Bayu.
Secara terpisah, Jawa seni praktisi Bondan Nusantara menyatakan puas dengan penjelasan sultan tentang masalah tersebut. Dia juga menyatakan harapan bahwa istana tidak akan dibagi seperti Keraton Surakarta.

Al-Qaida-linked tribesmen ban popular drug in southern.

Tribesmen allied with al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen have imposed a ban on the leafy qat plant, a mild narcotic widely chewed on a daily basis, in a southern port city overrun by the militants last month.
Yemeni men traditionally chew qat for several hours starting around midday, stuffing their cheeks with the leaves and letting its narcotic dissolve in their saliva. At daily qat-chewing sessions Yemenis recline on floor cushions, listen to traditional music, exchange gossip and engage in wide-ranging debates.

The widely cultivated plant consumes 30 percent of the extremely scarce water resources in Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest country, and cuts into the production of other crops. The World Health Organization classifies the drug as a narcotic.
Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and allied tribesmen overran the city of Mukalla — capital of the vast Hadramawt province — last month, in part because of heavy fighting elsewhere between Shiite rebels known as Houthis and loyalists of Yemen’s internationally recognized president, backed by Saudi-led airstrikes.
The tribesmen, who refer to themselves as “Sons of Hadramawt,” on Thursday distributed pamphlets saying qat chewing is banned and that violators “will be held fully responsible under Shariah law,” without elaborating.
Pictures posted on social networking sites for local reporters showed tribesmen setting fire to piles of green leaves in the streets while others armed with assault rifles halted trucks carrying the plants and turned them away from the city.

“Qat is a problem either way,” said Salem Dayan, a merchant in Mukalla. “If you ban it, people will have nothing to do to kill time, and if you lift the ban, you bring back the financial burden on your family.” A person can spend anywhere from $5 to $50 on qat for a single session.
Retired teacher Ahmed Basalma welcomed the ban, saying qat “ruined lives and wrecked whole families,” but that addicts would likely find a way around it.
Awad bin Dagher, a government employee, said there are no recreational alternatives to the drug. “We have nothing but the seafront,” he said. “I can’t imagine my life without qat.”

Arti:

Kelompok al-Qaida melarang obat populer di selatan.

Suku bersekutu dengan cabang al-Qaida di Yaman telah memberlakukan larangan pada tanaman qat berdaun, narkotik ringan banyak mengunyah setiap hari, di kota pelabuhan selatan dikuasai oleh militan bulan lalu.
Pria Yaman tradisional mengunyah qat selama beberapa jam mulai sekitar tengah hari, isian pipi mereka dengan daun dan membiarkan narkotika yang larut dalam air liur mereka. Pada sesi qat-mengunyah harian Yaman berbaring di bantal lantai, mendengarkan musik tradisional, pertukaran gosip dan terlibat dalam perdebatan luas.

Pabrik banyak dibudidayakan mengkonsumsi 30 persen dari sumber daya air sangat langka di Yaman, negara termiskin di dunia Arab, dan memotong ke produksi tanaman lainnya. Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia mengklasifikasikan obat sebagai narkotika.
Al-Qaeda di Semenanjung Arab dan suku sekutu menyerbu kota Mukalla – ibukota provinsi Hadramawt luas – bulan lalu, sebagian karena pertempuran sengit antara pemberontak Syiah di tempat lain dikenal sebagai Houthi dan loyalis Presiden Yaman yang diakui secara internasional, yang didukung oleh serangan udara Saudi yang dipimpin.
Suku, yang menyebut diri mereka sebagai “Sons of Hadramawt,” Kamis menyebarkan pamflet mengatakan qat mengunyah dilarang dan bahwa pelanggar “akan bertanggung jawab sepenuhnya di bawah hukum Syariah,” tanpa merinci.
Gambar yang diposting di situs jejaring sosial untuk wartawan lokal menunjukkan suku membakar tumpukan daun hijau di jalan-jalan sementara yang lain dipersenjatai dengan senapan serbu dihentikan truk yang membawa tanaman dan mengubahnya jauh dari kota.

“Qat adalah masalah cara baik,” kata Salem Dayan, seorang pedagang di Mukalla. “Jika Anda melarang itu, orang akan memiliki apa-apa yang harus dilakukan untuk membunuh waktu, dan jika Anda mengangkat larangan tersebut, Anda membawa kembali beban keuangan keluarga Anda.” Seseorang dapat menghabiskan mana saja dari $ 5 sampai $ 50 pada qat untuk satu sesi.
Pensiunan guru Ahmed Basalma menyambut larangan tersebut, mengatakan qat “menghancurkan kehidupan dan menghancurkan seluruh keluarga,” tapi itu pecandu kemungkinan akan menemukan jalan di sekitarnya.
Awad bin Dagher, seorang pegawai pemerintah, mengatakan tidak ada alternatif rekreasi untuk obat. “Kita tidak ada tetapi pinggir laut,” katanya. “Saya tidak bisa membayangkan hidup saya tanpa qat.”
