Nepal rescuers find 3 bodies near crashed US Marine

Nepalese rescuers on Friday found three bodies near the wreckage of a

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.

the site to explain the sabda raja and dhawuh raja instead of gathering the
mass.

within the Yogyakarta Palace finally appeared in public.
F During the meeting, the sultan elaborated on sabda raja and dhawuh raja,
respectively regarding the change in his royal name.
