researchers. The National Institutes of
Health last year spent $5.2 billion, nearly
20 percent of its total budget, on brain-
related projects, according to the Society
for Neuroscience.
Endowments like the Wellcome Trust
and the Kavli Foundation have poured in
hundreds of millions of dollars more,
establishing institutes at universities
around the world, including Columbia
and Yale.
The influx of money, talent and
technology means that scientists are at
last finding real answers about the brain
and raising questions, both scientific and
ethical, more quickly than anyone can
answer them.
Millions of people might be tempted to
erase a severely painful memory, for
instance but what if, in the process, they
lost other, personally important
memories that were somehow related?
Would a treatment that “cleared” the
learned habits of addiction only tempt
people to experiment more widely? And
perhaps even more important, when
scientists find a drug to strengthen
memory, will everyone feel compelled to
use it?
The stakes, and the wide-open
opportunities possible in brain science,
will only accelerate the pace of
discovery.
“In this field we are merely at the
foothills of an enormous mountain
range,” said Dr. Eric R. Kandel, a
neuroscientist at Columbia, “and unlike
in other areas of science, it is still
possible for an individual or small group
to make important contributions, without
any great expenditure or some
enormous lab.”
Dr. Sacktor is one of hundreds of
researchers trying to answer a question
that has dumbfounded thinkers since the
beginning of modern inquiry: How on
earth can a clump of tissue possibly
capture and store everything poems,
emotional reactions, locations of favorite
bars, distant childhood scenes? The
idea that experience leaves some trace
in the brain goes back at least to Plato's
Theaetetus metaphor of a stamp on
wax, and in 1904 the German scholar
Richard Semon gave that ghostly trace a
name: the engram.
What could that engram actually be?
The answer, previous research
suggests, is that brain cells activated by
an experience keep one another on
biological speed-dial, like a group of
people joined in common witness of
some striking event. Call on one and
word quickly goes out to the larger
network of cells, each apparently adding
News Corner
some detail, sight, sound, smell. The
brain appears to retain a memory by
growing thicker, or more efficient,
communication lines between these cells.
The billion-dollar question is how?
In the decades since this process was
described in the 1960s and 1970s,
scientists have found scores of molecules
that play some role in the process. But for
years the field struggled to pinpoint the
purpose each one serves. The problem
was not that such substances were so
hard to find on the contrary.
Brain Power
The Speed-Dial Molecule
For all that scientists have studied it, the
brain remains the most complex and
mysterious human organ and, now, the
focus of billions of dollars' worth of
research to penetrate its secrets.
This is the first article in a series that will
look in depth at some of the insights
these projects are producing.
In a 1999 paper in the journal Nature
Neuroscience, two of the most prominent
researchers in brain science, Dr. Jeff W.
Lichtman and Joshua R. Sanes of
Harvard, listed 117 molecules that were
somehow involved when one cell creates
a lasting speed-dial connection with a
neighbor, a process known as “long-term
potentiation.”
They did not see that these findings were
necessarily clarifying the picture of how
memories are formed. But an oddball
substance right there on their own list, it
turned out, had unusual properties.
A Helpful Nudge
“You know, my dad was the one who told
me to look at this molecule he was a
scientist too, my dad, he's dead now but
he had these instincts so anyway that's
how it all started,” Dr. Sacktor was saying.
He was driving from his home in Yonkers
to his laboratory in the East Flatbush
neighborhood of Brooklyn, with three
quiches and bag of bagels bouncing in
the back seat. Lunch for the lab.
The father's advice led the son,
eventually, to a substance called
PKMzeta. In a series of studies, Dr.
Sacktor's lab found that this molecule was
present and activated in cells precisely
when they were put on speed-dial by a
neighboring neuron.

Australian gang leader charged in biker brawl

SYDNEY A motorcycle
gang leader surrendered to police
Monday and became the sixth biker
charged in connection with a brawl
that left a rival bleeding to death
before shocked travelers at
Australia's busiest airport.
The March 22 slaying at
Sydney's domestic airport thrust
long-simmering violence among
biker gangs in Australia into the
public spotlight, raised fears of
widespread reprisal attacks and
prompted a crackdown by
authorities.
No one has been charged
with causing the death of Anthony
Zervas, the brother of a well-known
Hell's Angels member, who was
bludgeoned to death during a
rolling melee between Hell's Angels
and Comanchero gang members
through the terminal.
Comanchero leader
Mahmoud "Mick" Hawi was
charged Monday with fighting in
public in a way that caused
bystanders to fear for their safety a
crime called affray at the airport.
Five other Comanchero
members have previously been
charged with the same offense,
and each faces a maximum
penalty of five years in prison if
convicted.
John Korn, Hawi's lawyer,
said his client gave himself up
Monday. Hawi appeared briefly in
court and ordered to jail pending a
bail hearing Tuesday.
A week after the brawl, an
unknown gunman opened fire on
the victim's brother, Peter Zervas,
hitting him several times and
badly wounding him as he sat in a
car outside his apartment building.
Last week, the New South
Wales state government rushed
through tough new laws that allow
officials to ban gangs and imprison
those who defy such a ban for up to
five years. T S

In fact, the PKMzeta molecules appeared to
herd themselves, like Army Rangers
occupying a small peninsula, into precisely
the fingerlike connections among brain cells
that were strengthened. And they stayed
Bar & Restaurant there, indefinitely, like biological sentries.
In short: PKMzeta, a wallflower in the great
swimming party of chemicals that erupts
when one cell stimulates another, looked as
if it might be the one that kept the speed-
dial function turned on.
“After that,” Dr. Sacktor said, “we began to
focus solely on PKMzeta to see how critical
it really was to behavior.”
Running a lab is something like fielding a
weekend soccer team. Players come and
go, from Europe, India, Asia, Grand Rapids.

To find out what, if anything, PKMzeta
meant for living, breathing animals, Dr.
Sacktor walked a flight downstairs to the lab
of André A. Fenton, also of SUNY

mice and rats.
Dr. Fenton had already devised a clever

month later, they quickly remember how to
avoid the shock and do so.
But when injected directly into their brain
with a drug called ZIP that interferes with
PKMzeta, they are back to square one,
almost immediately. “When we first saw this
happen, I had grad students throwing their
hands up in the air, yelling,” Dr. Fenton
said. “Well, we needed a lot more than that”
one study.
They now have it. Dr. Fenton's lab repeated
the experiment, in various ways; so has a
consortium of memory researchers, each
using a different method. Researchers led
by Yadin Dudai at the Weizmann Institute of
Science in Israel found that one dose of ZIP
even made rats forget a strong disgust they
had developed for a taste that had made
them sick three months earlier.
A Conscience Blocker?
“This possibility of memory editing has
enormous possibilities and raises huge
ethical issues,” said Dr. Steven E. Hyman, a
neurobiologist at Harvard. “On the one
hand, you can imagine a scenario in which
a person enters a setting which elicits
traumatic memories, but now has a drug
that weakens those memories as they
come up. Or, in the case of addiction, a
drug that weakens the associations that stir
craving.”
Researchers have already tried to blunt
painful memories and addictive urges using
existing drugs; blocking PKMzeta could
potentially be far more effective.
Yet any such drug, Dr. Hyman and others
argue, could be misused to erase or block
memories of bad behavior, even of crimes.
If traumatic memories are like malicious
stalkers, then troubling memories and a
healthy dread of them form the foundation
of a moral conscience.
For those studying the biology of memory,
the properties of PKMzeta promise

something grander still: the prospect of
retooling the engram factory itself. By 2050
more than 100 million people worldwide will
have Alzheimer's disease or other
dementias, scientists estimate, and far more
will struggle with age-related memory
decline.
“This is really the biggest target, and we
have some ideas of how you might try to do
it, for instance to get cells to make more
PKMzeta,” Dr. Sacktor said. “But these are
only ideas at this stage.”
A substance that improved memory would
immediately raise larger social concerns, as
well. “We know that people already use
smart drugs and performance enhancers of
all kinds, so a substance that actually
improved memory could lead to an arms
race,” Dr. Hyman said.
Many questions in the science remain. For
instance, can PKMzeta really link a network
of neurons for a lifetime? If so, how? Most
molecules live for no more than weeks at a
time.
And how does it work with the many other
substances that appear to be important in
creating a memory?
“There is not going to be one, single
memory molecule, the system is just not
that simple,” said Thomas J. Carew, a
neuroscientist at the University of California,
Irvine, and president of the Society for
Neuroscience. “There are going to be many
molecules involved, in different kinds of
memories, all along the process of learning,
storage and retrieval.”
Yet as scientists begin to climb out of the
dark foothills and into the dim light, they are
now poised to alter the understanding of
human nature in ways artists and writers
have not.

Balinese count on Aussie tourists
The Balinese are counting on
Australian tourists to take advantage of hotel
and airline deals to help them survive the
global economic crisis.
Tourist industry leaders said
demand from regional markets such as
Australia, Japan and China would largely
offset a fall in long-haul tourist numbers.
“We predict an overall decrease in
foreign visitors with a major fall from Europe
and America, but because of Australia and
regional markets and new airline services, we
remain quite optimistic,” said Gede Nirjaya,
director of the government agency, Bali
Tourism Authority.
“We know that many Australians
are putting off travel to Europe and America
because of their weaker currency, and
coming to Bali instead.”
The latest available data from
January bucked worldwide trends and set a
new record with 164,643 foreign visitors to
Bali, up 17.7 per cent from a year ago.
For the first time on record,
Australia displaced Japan as Bali's number
one market, with almost 28,000 visitors, up
38 per cent.
More than 300,000 Australians
visited Bali last year, making it the second-
biggest market.
Following the better-than-expected
data, Nirjaya has upgraded his forecast for
2009 to 1.9 million foreign tourists, from 1.8
million originally forecast. This would
represent a decrease of 4 per cent from an
all-time high of 1.98 million in 2008.
Hoteliers were confident Bali's
tourism-dependent economy would weather
the global financial storm. Many saw the
softer bookings as an opportunity to begin
major renovation projects.
“Every time Bali has had a crisis,
our resort has come through stronger
Surfing legend Kim 'Fly' Bradley dies in Bali

Australian
surfing pioneer
Kim "Fly"
Bradley died
last week at his
home on Bali,
the Indonesian
island he surfed
almost alone in
the early 1970s.
He was 54.
His
daughter, Dewi
Bradley, said he died on March 26, a
spiritual holiday for Balinese Hindus
known as the "Day of Silence."
Family members found him two
days later, in his favourite room in the
house he built overlooking Kuta beach,
she said.
The surfing legend and father-of-
two from Sydney had battled skin cancer
for years but the official cause of death
had not been determined.
"My father had long suffered from
skin disease, but the cause of death will

because we spend more on advertising and
promotion, and we keep investing,” said Rudy
Suliawan, owner of Ayana Resort and Spa,
which opened on April 1 after changing its
name from the Ritz-Carlton Bali, Resort and
Spa.
Under new management from US-
based West Paces Hotel Group - founded by
former Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company executives
- the 77ha cliff-top property in Jimbaran has
launched a multi-million dollar renovation
program.
It includes a new bar virtually
suspended over the ocean at the cliff's base
and a complete makeover of three dining
venues using Japan's Design Studio Spin,
famous for designing Nobu Tokyo and Nobu
Hong Kong.
Ayana is also renovating 260 rooms
and suites.
The renovations signal a bright new
beginning for Ayana. Suliawan last year sued
the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company in the US after
they opened a second resort in Bali under the
name Bulgari, breaching an exclusivity clause
in their management contract.
Suliawan won $US10 million ($14
million) in damages plus the right to terminate
the contract.
Rebranding his resort as Ayana, he
appointed a new management company in
West Paces Hotel Group, which was founded
by former Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company
president Horst Schulze, and a new general
manager - Frenchman Charles de Foucault -
who brings 17 years of Ritz-Carlton
experience.
This, along with his continued
commitment to investing in the facilities and
service standards, would ensure the property
remained one of Bali's most sought-after
destination resorts, Suliawan said.
“This is a very tough and very risky
industry, and you have to keep investing even

Dewi told AFP, adding that her father, a
convert to Hinduism, would be cremated at
the end of April.
Fair-skinned and fair-haired, Bradley
grew up surfing Sydney's northern beaches
in the 1960s before the days of effective
sunscreen.
In his later years his condition was so
bad he was unable to venture out in the sun,
let alone on to the waves, so he busied
himself with surfboard design and shaping.
Known as "the Fly" because of his
small stature, Bradley claimed to have made
the first surfboard built in Indonesia and later
started a successful clothing business with
his Balinese wife, Made.
His friend, Dian Hadiani, said he would
often talk about his early days on Bali when
he surfed the famous breaks of Dreamland,
Nusa Dua and Balangan alone, having flown
to the island on a whim in 1974 aged just 19.
"The last time I met him was a week
before he died. He hugged me tightly and
quite long. He then gave me a pile of his
diaries and photos and asked me to keep
them," she said.
"I didn't find anything wrong with his
News Corner
in difficult times to keep ahead of the competition,”
he said.
Meanwhile, several new hotels in the
works have been shelved, including a Raffles resort
planned for Pecatu, which is now unlikely to start
construction before year's end.
Others are going ahead, albeit at a slower
pace. W Retreat and Spa in Seminyak has delayed
its scheduled completion date by six months to June
2010.
“The owners have slowed the project
down during this crisis," general manager Craig
Seaward said.
“Our plan is to be operational when the
market comes back again.”
The property includes 158 rooms and 78
villas, which are expected to sell for between
$US950,000 and $US2.5 million each.
Seaward said developments that already
had finance and the backing of a major chain - in
W's case, Starwood Hotels - would survive the crisis.
One that remained on schedule was the
Pullman Bali Legian Nirwana, which would be the
seventh Accor Group hotel in Bali when it opens in
September.
The management of the 351-room hotel is
looking to Australia for bookings.
“I strongly believe this year Australia will
be Bali's number one market for the first time,” said
Michel Vivier, Accor's operations director for East
Malaysia and East Indonesia.
“Europeans and Americans will definitely
decrease because of the recession, people will find
it more difficult to spend two or three weeks on

But we are very confident. We are

In a 2007 interview with "Surfer's

excitement of exploring Bali's huge
offshore breaks with a small group of other
surfers.
"We had to work it out for
ourselves... there's like 26 breaks or

quoted as saying.

Setanta O'hAilpin set to rise from disgrace as Carlton
lack defence
The career of Carlton's Irish
recruit Setanta O'hAilpin appears set to be
resurrected on Easter Saturday against
Essendon at the MCG, just two months
after he was found guilty of intentionally
kicking and striking a teammate.
The AFL suspended O'hAilpin for
four matches, including the Blues
participation in the NAB Cup, following an
extraordinary exchange with Cameron
Cloke in an intra-club practice match at
Princes Park in February.
O'hAilpin was suspended
indefinitely by Carlton and ordered to
undergo an anger management course
with the club's sports psychologist while he
trained away from his teammates with VFL
affiliate club Northern Bullants.
In the spiteful off-the-ball
incident, O'hAilpin punched Cloke to the
head, which dropped the former
Collingwood player. Cloke was then kicked
in the buttock as he lay face-down on the
ground.
O'hAilpin was ordered from the
field immediately and then sent home by
captain Chris Judd.
While the Blues administration
and coach Brett Ratten were clearly
annoyed at O'hAilpin's brain snap, they did
not contemplate sacking him with a season
remaining on his contract.
Blues chief executive Greg
Swann said: "Setanta's actions were totally
Hawthorn's low ruck stocks put Jarryd Roughead in line for positional

strong body contact. Apply: Alastair Clarkson,
Hawthorn coach.
The AFL premiers' ruck crisis is set
to continue on Sunday against a North
Melbourne team rapidly turning into "Land of
the Giants".
Robert Campbell is only an outside chance to
return from injury, while Simon Taylor has one
week of an untimely suspension to serve.
That leaves the club's No.3 ruckman, Brent
Renouf, again to go into battle with a part-
timer.
Mitch Thorp, and even Jarryd Roughead,
could be forced to play a bash-and-crash role
in centre bounces.
Risking Roughead at centre bounces against
Sydney Swans on Saturday night raised
eyebrows, but Hawthorn football manager
Mark Evans defended the move.
"Once you get into a game, things can
change," Evans said. "In the third quarter
things just weren't working for us all.
"We were close on the scoreboard, but
getting hurt in the centre of the ground, so we
had to change it up a little bit."

unacceptable, on or off the field, and we are
bitterly disappointed in the incident with
Cameron Cloke."
However, due to a lack of available
key defenders over the next few weeks,
O'hAilpin appears to be back in favour at
Carlton following some impressive form in VFL
practice matches.
Carlton general manager of football
operations, Steven Icke, said: "He could be
back in town."
Icke said O'hAilpin's form had been
good in practice matches in the lower grade,
playing as a ruckman, forward and in
defensive roles.
The strong possibility of O'hAilpin's
return this month for his first senior game
since round 14 last year has been brought
forward by injuries to regular full-back Michael
Jamison and back-up defender Mark Austin.
Advice from a specialist will keep
Jamison sidelined for two to three weeks, after
he damaged his right shoulder in the first half
against Brisbane last weekend.
After having surgery last August on
the same shoulder, he "popped" it again in
round one, but Icke said it was not a
dislocation.
"Following scans, the specialist said
the problem was not significant enough to
have surgery, so that's a good thing," Icke
said.
"He'll let it settle, rehabilitate and
then work on stabilising and strengthening the
Evans said Roughead in the ruck was "not Plan
A".

Todd Goldstein, Drew Petrie and David Hale - for
Etihad Stadium.
Hawthorn were smashed in the ruck against the
Swans, losing the hitouts 73-29 - one of the
biggest discrepancies recorded. The Swans
kicked 14 goals directly from stoppages.
Evans described the ruck situation as a "short-
term hassle".
The club has listed Campbell as a "test" this
week, but it is poised to seek further medical
opinion on a nagging build-up of scar tissue
around the hamstring/buttock.
Though Campbell has not been ruled out, the
Hawks are looking for urgent answers and it
seems he needs a minor miracle to get up this
week.
"He's trained really well to a level, which has
made us optimistic every week that it is minor,"

shoulder."
Icke said the Blues would not
consider recalling Austin for his sixth senior
game this weekend because he has missed
several recent practice matches due to a
groin strain.
Prolific ball-winner and reliable
finisher Nick Stevens has completed his two-
match suspension and will be an automatic
selection against the Bombers.
Also available this week will be
Shaun Grigg, who has thrown off a pre-
season hamstring problem.
Like Stevens, Grigg had a hit-out in
the VFL last weekend.
But that trial game proved to be the
undoing of Andrew Walker, who received the
third shoulder dislocation of his 81-game
career, which is likely to keep him out for the
rest of the season.
Walker, who will have reconstructive
surgery, returned last season to play in
Carlton's final seven home-and-away games
after undergoing surgery in March.
O'hAilpin missed the latter part of
last season with a calf injury that required
radical treatment overseas.
The last time the unbeaten Blues
won their first three games in a season was in
1995 when they lost just twice for the year
and went on to win the premiership.
Evans said. "Over the last three weeks, he hasn't
been able to get himself to game intensity.
"When we picked him last week, he had
completed a reasonable running session at 60
percent intensity.
"We thought we might be able to get him to play
Thorp is not a newcomer to the ruck, even though
he is only 194cm.
"I saw him in the ruck playing for Tassie in the
VFL before he got drafted, but he's not the height
for the ruckman," Evans said. "He's a keen sort of
a player. He'll have a go at most things."
Taking Campbell out of the equation, the club has
three other ruckmen - Max Bailey, Tim Walsh and
Luke Lowden - on the list, but none of those is
available.
Bailey has had long-term knee issues and Walsh
has a foot problem, while Lowden is more likely to
stay at school level this year.

Obesity may raise risk of restless legs syndrome
NEW YORK (Reuters
Health) People who are obese
may have an increased risk of
developing the neurological
disorder restless legs syndrome
(RLS), researchers reported
Monday.
In a study of more than
88,000 U.S. adults, researchers at
Harvard Medical School found that
obese men and women were 42
percent more likely to have RLS
than normal-weight study
participants.
Abdominal obesity, in
particular, was linked to RLS risk.
Study participants with the largest
waistlines had a 60 percent greater
risk than those with the trimmest
midsections, according to findings
published in the journal Neurology.
RLS causes unpleasant
Topical Spray Helped Men With Premature Ejaculation
A new spray enabled men with
premature ejaculation to delay their
orgasm six times longer than before,
according to a study that included
300 European men.
The men, with clinically
diagnosed premature ejaculation,
were randomly selected to receive a
placebo spray with no active
ingredients (100 men) or the PSD502
spray, which contains 7.5 milligrams
of lidocaine and 2.5 mg of prilocaine
(200 men).
During the three-month study,
the men used either the placebo or
the PSD502 spray five minutes
before intercourse. The men and
their partners then used a stopwatch
to record the time from vaginal
penetration to ejaculation. The men
were instructed to abstain from
sexual activity or masturbation for 24
hours before each recorded episode
of intercourse.
The men who used the
PSD502 spray (treatment group)
delayed their orgasm from an
average of 0.6 minutes to 3.8
minutes, compared to just over 1
minute for those who used the
placebo spray. That means the
8 Apr - 14 Apr 2009 (124)
sensations in the legs when a
person is at rest, triggering an
uncontrollable urge to move the
legs to get relief. The cause is
unknown, but researchers suspect
that an imbalance in the
movement-regulating brain
chemical dopamine plays a role.
Drugs that increase dopamine
activity are sometimes used to
treat RLS.
Past research has shown
that obese adults tend to have
lower dopamine activity in the
brain than their thinner
counterparts, but the relationship
between obesity and RLS has
been unclear.
"Our study suggests that
obesity could be a risk factor for
RLS," lead researcher Dr. Xiang
Gao told Reuters Health.
PSD502 spray helped men last 6.3
times longer than normal,
compared to 1.7 times longer than
normal for those who used the
placebo, the study authors said.
The study found that after
three months of treatment:
90 percent of the men in the
treatment group were able to delay
ejaculation for more than 1 minute
following vaginal penetration,
compared with 54 percent of those
in the placebo group.
74 percent of men in the
treatment group were able to last 2
minutes before ejaculation,
compared with 22 percent of those
in the placebo group.
62 percent of men in the
treatment group said their orgasms
were "good" or "very good" after
three months, compared with 20
percent before the start of the
study. For men in the placebo
group, the figures were 19 percent
at the end of the study and 21
percent before the start of the
study.
More patients and partners in
the treatment group reported
improvements in perceived control,
personal distress, satisfaction with
Health Corner
However, the findings do not prove
that obesity leads to RLS, and further
studies that follow people over time
are needed to confirm obesity as a
risk factor, Gao added.
In theory, dopamine could
help explain the connection between
obesity and RLS. But Gao said there
are likely to be multiple mechanisms
through which excess weight
contributes to the neurological
disorder.
One possibility, he noted, is
the higher risk of heart disease
among overweight adults. Studies
have found links between
cardiovascular disease and RLS, and
it's thought that dysfunction in the
blood vessels may play a role in
RLS.
sexual intercourse, and interpersonal
problems.
The most common problems
noted in the study were loss of
erection and a burning sensation in
the vagina.
The study findings were
published in the April issue of the
journal BJU International.
"Premature ejaculation can be
a very distressing condition for men
and can cause distress, frustration
and make them avoid sexual
intimacy," lead researcher Professor
W. Wallace Dinsmore, of the Royal
Victoria Hospital in Belfast, U.K., said
in a news release.
"Our study shows that when
the PSD502 spray was applied to the
man's penis five minutes before
intercourse it improved both sexual
performance and sexual satisfaction,
which are key factors in treating
premature ejaculation."

Brumby, Demetriou at odds over violence summit
AFL chief executive
Andrew Demetriou says the State
Government called its emergency
summit on crowd violence without
consulting him.
Speaking on Radio 3AW
this morning, Mr Demetriou said
he had only found about the
summit, convened last night, after
a message from the station today.
"I haven't spoken to the
Government, I'm not quite sure
what the motives are."
"There is absolutely not a
major problem (with violence) ...
We spend two million dollars on
security a year through venues
and on police. We do that as a
preventative measure. The police
and security hardly ever get
called, and we have over 176
games and finals."
"We certainly have
incidents of violence and when we
do they're the exceptions, and
that's why there's such abhorrence
when they happen."
Premier John Brumby
called the summit last night in
response to the attack on the
father of Melbourne player Nathan
Jones at the weekend.
Mr Demetriou pointed out
that spectators, the police and the
AFL reacted quickly to the
incident, and charges had already
been laid.
Mr Brumby, also speaking on
3AW in a separate interview, said his
office had been in contact with the
AFL until late last night.
"There were discussions with
the AFL so I am sorry if that hasn't
been passed on to Andrew."
Mr Brumby said that his
'round table' discussion would bring
together police, sporting codes,
administrators and security to ensure
venues were as family friendly and
safe as possible.
"I don't want to overreact on
this, because generally, one of the
safest places you can go on the
weekend is with your family to the
footy. But you should be able to leave
the ground with absolute and
complete safety."
Pressed on why a summit
was being called to address sport,
rather than community violence, Mr
Brumby said there had been a
number of worrying incidents in a
number of sports in recent times.
He cited violence at the
Australian Open tennis between
Serbian and Croatian supporters, and
a brawl at the AFL Hall of Fame
tribute match last May in which one
man was injured and two arrested.
"I don't say that this is a
widespread problem that is out of
control, but ... any violence across
our community is unacceptable,
whether it is domestic violence or
violence at sport, and it is not just
an Aussie Rules matter."
Mr Brumby suggested that
using technology such as CCTV,
increasing police presences, and
banning troublemakers, such as
has been trialled in troubled
nightclub districts, were some of
the measures he would like to see
considered by the summit.
Jesse Mallinder, 24, of
Ferntree Gully, appeared in the
Melbourne Magistrates Court
yesterday charged with affray, and
two other men, aged 19 and 21
have also been charged over the
incident outside the MCG on
Saturday afternoon.
The Collingwood football
club announced that it would
revoke the memberships of any of
its supporters involved in such
incidents.
Mr Demetriou indicated the
AFL was looking at further
measures to address the security
of patrons outside its venues.
Australia in South Africa Tour
Ricky Ponting opens up over top
order batting failures at Centurion
Captain Ricky Ponting has
blamed himself for Australia's batting
troubles, saying it's about time he scored
another one-day international hundred.
Australia were blown away by
pace duo Wayne Parnell (4-25) and Dale
Steyn (4-27) at Centurion as South
Africa bowled the tourists out for 131 and
scored 3-132 in 26.2 overs in reply.
South Africa's win squares the five-
match series going into Thursday's third
game in Cape Town, where No.3
batsman Ponting says it's time for
himself and openers Michael Clarke and
Brad Haddin to lead the side to a big
score.
The only time Australia had set a lower
target in a non-reduced ODI match was
in January 1979, scoring 101 at the
MCG against England (in a 40-overs-per
side contest).
Callum Ferguson (50) and No.8 Mitch
Johnson (30) were the only batsmen to
score more than 10 for Australia and
Ponting slammed the “poor shots''
played by his batsmen.
Ponting was caught behind for eight off
Parnell, pushing forward and making the
score 2-11.
However in Australia's defence, man-of-
the-match Parnell and pace spearhead
Steyn were in dazzling form, swinging
the ball around alarmingly.
Haddin was Australia's leading run-
scorer in February in the ODI series “I'm in exactly the same boat. It's a while

Letter: Time to update views about gays, lesbians

I am angered and
saddened by the defeat of
Senate Bill 2278, the “gay
rights bill.”
Once again our state
has chosen to dismiss the fact
that a portion of our population
deals with discrimination
because of their sexual
orientation.
Is being gay a choice?
Certainly not. Scientific studies
have shown that sexual
orientation is innate. Do we
choose to ignore science?
Then we may as well
20
regress to beliefs of the past,
such as scientific racism, which
propagates the notion that
some races are inferior to
others, or the scientific view
that women are not capable of
rational thought and should not
hold positions of leadership.
But our country has
unequivocally legislated
against these outdated
viewpoints. We tackled
women's suffrage, and passed
the 19th Amendment; we
tackled slavery, and passed the
13th Amendment; we tackled
civil rights and passed the 24th
Amendment (outlawing the use of
poll taxes) and the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 (outlawing racial
segregation and gender
discrimination).
When is the struggle for
gay rights going to be over? When
we enact legislation protecting our
gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender friends from those
who would wish to dismiss them
as deviants and unworthy of
protection by law.
