KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: Thirteen people have died and
\ndozens of others are still receiving medical treatment after an
\noutbreak of dengue fever on Siompu Island, some 20 kilometers
\nfrom Buton regency in Southeast Sulawesi.<\/p>\n

\nexpecting assistance from Buton regency to deal with the epidemic
\nas they did not consider the local health centers to be
\nadequately equipped to cope with the problem.<\/p>\n

\nreports on the dengue outbreak but vowed to dispatch a team of
\nparamedics to the orange-producing island to prevent the spread
\nof the disease.<\/p>\n
Jalal, a local health officer, said the fever had been
\naffecting Kendari and Kolaka regencies for three months without
\nany attention from the local administration. --Antara<\/p>\n

Police, street vendors clash in Sidoarjo<\/p>\n

\nof street vendors protesting in the East Java city of Sidoarjo

\nprotesters, who fled the scene in panic toward Jl. Raden Patah.<\/p>\n

The protest also involved local residents living in the nearby

\"Because we were worried that the situation would become more

He said the police had arrested three people charged with
\nusing violence during the protest. They had been detained and
