SHENZHEN, China (AP) — Organizers have said the HSBC Champions will become an official PGA Tour event next year. They also added that the total purse at the World Golf Championship (WGC) event will increase to $8.5 million from the current $7 million. The event is currently the only one of the four WGC events not fully recognized by the PGA Tour. A win is only considered a PGA Tour victory if the winner is a PGA Tour member, but the prize money is not counted toward the player’s PGA Tour money list. PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said starting next year, the HSBC Champions will be elevated to the same status as the other three WGC events — the Accenture Match Play Championship, the Cadillac Championship, and the Bridgestone Invitational. All three of those events are played in the United States.

TOKYO (AP) — Fruits, vegetables, and wheat bread are all sources of fiber. Now, so is Pepsi-Cola in Japan. PepsiCo Inc. is launching a version of its namesake soda with a fat-blocking fiber, called dextrin, in Japan. In an announcement on the company’s Japanese website, PepsiCo explains how dextrin helps reduce fat levels in blood. A representative for PepsiCo based in Purchase, New York was not able to provide other details about the drink. The drink, called Pepsi Special, isn’t the first cola with fiber in Japan. The Japanese company Kirin also offers a sugar-free cola with dextrin. Kirin’s website says the cola is targeted toward health-conscious men in their 30s and older.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A conservationist says cameras in an Indonesian national park have captured images of six calves of the critically endangered Javan rhinos. The head of Ujung Kulon National Park, Moh Haryono, described the finding as good news for the conservation of Javan rhinos, which were nearly wiped out when the Krakatoa volcano erupted in 1883. Haryono says an analysis of 672 video clips recorded from March to October showed there are two females among the calves, which are one to two years old. Only 40 to 60 Javan rhinos remain in the park, which is the animal’s original habitat on the western tip of Java. They are the last known living members of the species, with none in captivity.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — An international human rights group says Sri Lanka’s lawyers and judges have become the latest targets in the government’s continued stifling of dissent three years after the end of its civil war. The statement from Amnesty International came as the country’s ruling party started a process to impeach the chief justice, a move seen by critics as politically motivated. The rights group said the international community should no longer buy Sri Lanka’s promises, saying the country has been giving "empty promises" on human rights for decades.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Cambodian police say Thai soldiers shot and killed three Cambodians who were illegally logging across the border on Thai soil. The Samlot district police chief, Ly Bouy, says six Cambodians were taking a break from logging rosewood a few hundred yards from the border when the soldiers opened fire. He said three were killed and three managed to run away during the weekend incident. Thai police official Kampan Runapat said a special forestry task force composed of soldiers, police, rangers, and local officials was patrolling the border area in Trat province when it came across the illegal loggers. He said the loggers opened fire, triggering a 10-minute shootout in which three loggers were killed. Illegal timber harvesting is common in the border area
