A week is a long time in showbiz — and in our hyper-speed online age three and a half years is an eternity — but Boyle is still going strong. She has sold millions of records, received an honorary doctorate, sung for Pope Benedict XVI and performed in Las Vegas. A stage musical about her life has played to enthusiastic crowds across Britain and is headed for Australia, and next month she releases her fourth album, “Standing Ovation.”

But the 51-year-old singer who entered the TV talent contest to make her late mother proud is remarkably un-changed. She’s still a bit frumpy, though she’s acquired a new hairdo, more expensive clothes and a makeover. She still lives in her down-at-heel home town, has outbursts of anger and struggles to overcome her nerves before live performances.

It’s a fairy tale, yes, but with dark shadows lurking in the corners. “People can’t accept that you can dream a dream, but part of the dream is also a nightmare,” said Elaine C. Smith, a Scottish actress who knows Boyle and plays her in the biographical stage show “I Dreamed a Dream.”

“Fairy dust comes out, but shrapnel comes out as well.” Boyle now has a car and chauffeur to take her to appoint-ments, but she sticks close to familiar places and routines. She has bought a new house, a modern four-bedroom two-story in Blackburn that cost 300,000 pounds ($480,000), but locals say she often stays in the modest row house she grew up in.

And she still shows up occasionally to sing karaoke at The Crown pub. “She belts them out like she used to and is not averse to a duet,” said 20-year-old local Helen Cameron. “It’s nice that this has not changed her. I think she’s under a lot of pressure normally. Here she can be herself.”

LUXEMBOURG — Under a canopy of soldiers’ drawn swords as church bells tolled, Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg and Belgian Countess Stephanie de Lannoy emerged smiling Saturday from the tiny duchy’s Notre Dame Cathedral after wrapping up a two-day wedding gala with a religious ceremony.

Onlookers and well-wishers lined the super-scrubbed streets near the cathedral and roared with joy as the newlyweds looked down from a red velvet-covered palace balcony, and haltingly — but deeply — kissed for the crowd.

The church wedding of Prince Guillaume — the 30-year-old heir to the throne and Luxembourg’s grand duke-to-be — and the Bel-gian countess drew top-drawer guest list. It came a day after a civil ceremony at Luxembourg City Hall.

The bearded groom and his 28-year-old blonde bride were trailed by a procession of well-known roy-als, including Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden, Prince Naruhito of Japan, and Britain’s Prince Edward — Queen Eliza-beth’s youngest child — and his

wife, Sophie.Stephanie plans to renounce her

Belgian citizenship in order to — one day — become Luxembourg’s grand duchess. The tiny country wedged between France, Belgium and Germany is an important financial center and continues to prosper despite Europe’s economic trouble.

Stephanie wore a lace Elie Saab dress with a 5-meter-long wed-ding train during the ceremony, which was conducted in a mixture of French, German and Luxem-bourgish. It began with a minute’s silence to honor her late mother, Countess Alix de Lannoy.

For the wedding banquet attend-ed by 800 people, Bocuse d’Or-winning chef Lea Linster — herself from Luxembourg — whipped up a buffet medley including Riesling-marinated pork and veal pate, lobster in gelee consomme, and sea bass in salted crust and thyme stuff-ing; dessert included Madeleine cakes, choux a la creme pastries, and creme brulee.

Later in the evening, the royal couple walked through town, shak-ing hands with well-wishers before a fireworks show. Afterward, they drove off in a limousine with a sign on the back that read “Just Mar-ried” in Luxembourgish.

LONDON — She dreamed a dream, and it came true. But what happened next for Susan Boyle? The middle-aged church volunteer from a small town in Scotland became an instant global celebrity in 2009 with her heart-stopping rendition of the “Les Miserables” number “I Dreamed a Dream” on a TV talent show.

“Whatever the reason is, the permit will not be revoked because there is no infringement or problem in the permit,” said Ngurah Pemayun accompanied by Spokesperson of Bali Government, Ketut Teneng, the Head of Bali Forestry Agency and the Head of Bali Environ-ment Agency, Friday (Oct 19).

Related to the plan of Bali House to is-sue a recommendation in order the permit of Governor to be revoked, Cok Pemayun said it was just a plan. Even, he challenged those who rejected to point out whether there was an infringement in the permit. “Now, please point out first what is wrong with the issuance of the permit. Is there any infringement? If infringing, we will revoke it. But the permit has been in com-

pliance with the prevailing procedures, so it does not need to be revoked. As long as the infringement cannot be pointed out, the permit will continue,” he said.

Cok Pemayun described the process of issuing the permit for the mangrove forest management on the area of 102.22 hectares at Grand Forest Park (Tahura) had complied with the existing regulations. He said it was indeed allowed to hold an eco-tourism activity in the utilization block of Grand Forest Park. His party would not cover up all the things related to the permit and invited if there were parties who wanted to investigate it. “We will be totally open and nothing will be covered up,” he said.

He explained, in terms of juridical aspect, the regional regulation already allowed the

utilization of mangrove forests and it was only utilization, not ownership. Moreover, it was not a leasing or annexation.

He added that in terms of the au-thority, the Grand Forest Park had 3-dimensional aspects, namely the authority of asset ownership lay in the central government, the authority of management was handed over by central government to governor and the author-ity of implementation was delivered to regency/municipality. “On that account, the government teams up with investor to maintain and preserve the mangroves so that it will be sustainable and improve the effort to reach the Bali Clean and Green,” he said.

The photo shows pathway on Tahura Ngurah Rai. Rejection of the leaderships of Bali House, Deputy Governor, academician and community leaders against the management (leasing) of mangrove forest seemed to have not changed the policy of provincial government of Bali.

DENPASAR - Rejection of the leaderships of Bali House, Deputy Governor, academi-

cian and community leaders against the man-agement (leasing) of mangrove forest seemed

to have not changed the policy of provincial government of Bali. The Head of Bali Agency

for Regional Development (Bappeda), Cok Ngurah Pemayun, stated not to revoke the permit of PT Tirta Rahmat Bahari (TRB)

given the right to manage the mangrove for-est spreading across the area of 102.22 hect-ares for a period of 55 years. Even, the Bali provincial government would continue the

collaboration agreement as it was considered to have no infringement in the permit.

EvEry Temple and Shrine has a special date for it annual Ceremony, or “ Odalan “, every 210 days according to Balinese calendar, including the smaller ancestral shrine which each family possesses. Because of this practically every few days a ceremony of festival of some kind takes place in some Village in Bali. There are also times when the entire island celebrated the same Holiday, such as at Galungan, Kuningan, Nyepi day, Saraswati day, Tumpek Landep day, Pagerwesi day, Tumpek Wayang day etc.

The dedication or inauguration day of a Temple is con-sidered its birth day and celebration always takes place on the same day if the wuku or 210 day calendar is used. When new moon is used then the celebration always happens on new moon or full moon. The day of course can differ the religious celebration of a temple lasts at least one full day with some temple celebrating for three days while the celebration of Besakih temple, the Mother Temple, is never less than 7 days and most of the time it lasts for 11 days, depending on the importance of the occasion.

The celebration is very colorful. The shrine are dressed with pieces of cloths and sometimes with brocade, sailings, decorations of carved wood and sometimes painted with gold and Chinese coins, very beautifully arranged, are hung in the four corners of the shrine. In front of shrine are placed red, white or black umbrellas depending which Gods are worshipped in the shrines.

In front of important shrine one sees, besides these umbrellas soars, tridents and other weapons, the “umbul-umbul”, long flags, all these are prerogatives or attributes of Holiness. In front of the Temple gate put up “Penjor”, long bamboo poles, decorated beautifully ornaments of young coconut leaves, rice and other products of the land. Most beautiful to see are the girls in their colorful attire, carrying offerings, arrangements of all kinds fruits and colored cakes, to the Temple. Every visitor admires the grace with which the carry their load on their heads.

According to Marian Carroll, Director of Public Relations and Mar-keting Communications, R.O.L.E Foundation’s Role Model trainees graduated in style, working alongside internationally acclaimed chef Jusman So, with guests from regional hospitality and business com-munities. Trainees worked seamlessly with Ayana staff in delivering impeccable service in the beautiful ambiance of Dava restaurant. “Guests enjoyed a four-course meal showcasing Jusman So’s flair for contemporary tyle and fresh Asian flavours,” Caroll said.

Proceeds of over Rp90,000,000 from the ROLE Model’s dinner sup-port ongoing women’s training initiatives through R.O.L.E Foundation’s Bali WISE programs. This is the second year the R.O.L.E Foundation has partnered with Ayana Resort and Spa to deliver onsite hotel train-ing to women from disadvantaged backgrounds. The ROLE Models’ program has garnered attention for its practical approach to alleviating conditions of poverty, by providing a pathway for women to access training and employment opportunities in the hospitality industry.

Ayana’s provision of professional trainers and facilities is invaluable to the Role Model program, offering participants experiences and skills with which to pursue a hospitality career. Hospitality skills are relevant for the current job market in Bali and are transferable; empowering women with employment options for the future.

Proceeds from the Role Model’s dinner support ongoing women’s training initiatives through Role Foundation’s Bali WISE programs.

Celebrating Bali’s role modelsIBP

JIMBArAN - On Saturday, 6th October, special guests at Dava restaurant celebrated the hard-earned success of twelve local women who have overcome social and economic obstacles to forge secure employment futures.

Chief of the Pasar Agung, Nyoman Suwarta, said that gov-ernment should strictly enforce the regulations to address the proliferation of modern market (stores) and privately managed markets. It had something to do with the zones and distance of traditional markets to modern stores and the privately man-aged markets.

“There should be a zone for modern market. Likewise, the distance of modern market to traditional market should be regulated. Modern market with a larger network will surely affect the selling price of the products,” said Nyoman Su-

warta, Friday (Oct 19).He said that modern stores

had flexibility in paying the goods (products) to suppliers. By and large, they made pay-ment to suppliers within 1 to 2-week after receiving them. Meanwhile, traders in tradi-tional markets paid when the goods were received (cash and carry).

“These conditions also make traders in traditional markets overwhelmed in terms of capi-tal side. Meanwhile, modern stores have larger capital, wider networks and have facility of postdated payment,” he said.

On the other hand, traders in

traditional markets were also difficult to obtain additional capitals. For example, when traders filed an additional bank capital, the bank considered the business run by the traders non-bankable.

“Besides, the bank admin-istration always entails a col-lateral requirement for each loan borrower. By all means, such requirement makes dif-ficult for traders to develop,” he exclaimed.

Suwarta expected the local government could find out a solution for traders who were incidentally local business-men. For instance, it could be

undertaken by issuance of non-collateral loan for traders in traditional markets aside from improving the management of traders.

“So far, some banks have pro-vided loan to traders. However, the usage is not monitored by the bank concerned. As a result, the loan issued was not fully taken advantage to develop their trad-ing business,” he said.

According to him, the loan was occasionally used for con-sumption. To that end, it was required supervision against the use of loan, mainly for the non-collateral loan for these traders. (kmb27)

Amlapura (Bali Post)-A 12 kg gas tube last Friday (19/10)

morning at7 am local time exploded on the south of Subagan Petrol Station located at banjar Gede, Subagan, Karan-gasem causing two wounded, housewife who’s owner of house Ni Gusti Ayu Nyo-man Ardani (34) with light wounds and an employee to her father in law who is a mechanic in a contractor I Gusti Made Tusan, Dedi (34) from Mojokerto, East Java had grade 2 burnt wounds.

The Libyan government said Saturday its forces had detained Gadhafi’s high profile spokesman Moussa Ibrahim, but an online re-cording from a man purporting to be Ibrahim denied that claim and said he wasn’t even in the country.

The conflicting reports, neither of which could be independently verified, reflect the turmoil that has persisted over the past year, leaving the oil-rich North African nation deeply divided. Tensions have spiked as rival forces battle over the city of Bani Walid.

Bani Walid, some 140 kilometers (90 miles) southeast of Tripoli, was the last major city in Libya to fall to the uprising, thanks in part to its protected location in a valley near the mountains. Over the past year, it has seen periodic violence and emerged as the most significant town in Libya still resisting the country’s new authorities since Gadhafi was slain near his home-town of Sirte last year.

“We’ve lost too many people in Bani Walid and we are still losing them so I don’t think it’s time for a celebration,” said Abdessalem

Mahfoud, a local neighborhood council member in Tripoli, when asked about the anniversary of Gadhafi’s death.

The turmoil in Libya, which overthrew Gadhafi last year with the help of NATO airstrikes, has become a campaign issue in the U.S. presidential race after an attack on the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi killed Ambassa-dor Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

For many who fought against Gadhafi, the new Libya cannot be born until the last vestiges of the old regime, fugitives like Ibrahim and towns like Bani Walid, have been routed.

A statement from the prime minister office said that Ibrahim was caught at a checkpoint outside Bani Walid while trying to flee a recent uptick in fighting over the town and would be taken to Tripoli for questioning.

However, the government pro-duced no proof of its claim and hours later, Ibrahim had not been seen in public. State television did briefly show a photograph of a man

in a hospital bed with a bandaged shoulder which they labeled as the former spokesman, but the verac-ity of the photo could also not be confirmed.

The urbane, English-speaking Ibrahim became the face of the regime in its final months and was

the most well-known former regime figure to remain unaccounted for af-ter Gadhafi’s son and heir-apparent Seif al-Islam was taken late last year. The regime’s former intel-ligence chief Abdullah al-Senoussi was later detained in Mauritania and extradited to Libya.

In the year since Gadhafi’s death, conflicts have broken out around the country, and despite the unprec-edented election of a 200-person national assembly, the central gov-ernment is weak and power remains with the armed groups that sprung up with the rebellion.

VATICAN CITY ? Pope Benedict XVI is adding seven more saints onto the roster of Catholic role models as he tries to rekindle the faith in places where it’s lagging. Two of them are Americans: Ka-teri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint from the U.S. and Mother Marianne Cope, a 19th century Franciscan nun who cared for lepers in Hawaii.

A third is a rather unlikely saint, Pedro Calungsod, a Filipino teenager who helped Jesuit priests convert natives in Guam in the 17th century but was killed by spear-wielding villagers opposed to the mission-aries’ efforts to baptize their children.

The ceremony Sunday in St. Peter’s Square has drawn pilgrims from around the world to Rome and coincides with a Vatican meeting of the world’s bish-ops on trying to revive Christianity in places where it’s fallen by the wayside. Several of the new saints were mis-sionaries, making clear the pope hopes their ex-ample will be relevant today as the Catholic Church tries to hold

onto its faithful in the face of competition from evangelical churches in Africa and Latin America, increasing secularization in the West and disenchantment with the church over the clerical sex abuse scandal in Europe and beyond.

The two Americans actually hail from roughly the same place ? what is today upstate New York ? although they lived two centuries apart.

Known as the “Lily of the Mohawks,” Kateri was born in 1656 to a pagan Iroquois father and an Algonquin Christian mother. Her parents and only brother died when she was 4 during a smallpox epidemic that left her badly scarred and with impaired eyesight. She went to live with her uncle, a Mohawk, and was baptized Catholic by Jesuit missionaries. But she was ostracized and persecuted by other natives for her faith, and she died in what is now Canada when she was 24.

Cope is revered among many Catho-lics in Hawaii, where she arrived from New York in 1883 to care for lepers on Kalaupapa, an isolated peninsula on Molokai Island where Hawaii governments forcibly exiled leprosy

patients for decades. At the time, there was widespread fear of the disfiguring disease, which can cause skin lesions, mangled fin-gers and toes and lead to blindness.

Cope, however, led a band of Francis-can nuns to the peninsula to care for the patients, just as Saint Damien, a Belgian priest, did in 1873. He died of the disease 16 years later and was canonized in 2009.

The Vatican’s complicated saint-making procedure requires that the Vati-can certify a “miracle” was performed through the intercession of the candidate ? a medically inexplicable cure that can be directly linked to the prayers offered by the faithful. One miracle is needed for beatification, a second for canonization.

The other new saints are: Jacques Berth-ieu, a 19th century French Jesuit who was killed by rebels in Madagascar, where he had worked as a missionary; Giovanni Battista Piamarta, an Italian who founded a religious order in 1900 and established a Catholic printing and publishing house in his native Brescia; Carmen Salles Y Barangueras, a Spanish nun who founded a religious order to educate children in 1892; and Anna Schaeffer, a 19th century German lay woman who became a model for the sick and suffering after she fell into a boiler and badly burned her legs.

Negara (Bali Post)—

Torrential rains hitting Jembrana on Thursday afternoon (Oct 18) caused ava-lanche at a number of points at Bumbungan hamlet, Yehembang village. A timber ware-house was buried by the avalanche and two shrines of local residents were also eroded.

From information compiled last Saturday, the avalanche occurred at four points. The most severe damage occurred to property of a local resident, Agung Made Doster. The courtyard that had been protected with revetment got eroded and buried a neighbor’s timber ware-house. Meanwhile, all the properties such as electronic device were buried in the ground by the avalanche of the 4-meter high revetment. The avalanche caused his courtyard near the re-vetment to disappear, while his kitchen was also at risk of getting eroded. The distance of kitchen to the cliff avalanche was only an inch.

Fortunately, there were no people in the warehouse and yard when the avalanche occurred. Due to such incident, the victim claimed to suffer a loss up to tens of millions of rupiahs. Indeed, he worried to live near the revetment because it was not the first incident. According to him, such incident had happened twice. The land where he stayed was indeed unstable and sloping. Since it was the only land he had, he could not go out, and submit-ted to his fate.

Meanwhile, at the home of Nengah Wintia, two shrines were buried by avalanche from the cliff next to his house. Luckily, the avalanche did not sweep away his house located a few meters from the cliff. With the help of local residents, Wintia looked to clean up the ava-lanche last Saturday. As a matter of fact, he also feared of the incident as happened on Thursday afternoon. Since it was his only home, Wintia admitted not to know what to do. (kmb26)

Gianyar (Bali Post)—

The year 2013 is the one prepared for the library. It is consistent with the results of the national workshop held in Solo some time ago. Until now, not all the elementary schools in Gianyar Regency have had a li-brary. Some elementary schools remain to take advantage of teacher’s room or other room for library.

Division Head of Kindergarten and Elemen-tary School, the Gianyar Education Agency, I Gusti Ngurah Darmawan, said on Wednesday (Oct 10) that until this year there were 77 el-ementary schools that had not owned a library building. Based on existing data, of the 280 el-ementary schools existing in Gianyar Regency, 203 schools had owned a library building up to 2012, he said.

Existence of the school library aimed to increase the student’s interest in reading. In

addition, the library also served as enrichment for the teaching materials for educators and learners. Virtually every elementary school in general had owned a library. However, they had not complied with the existing standards of library.

As the results of the national workshop not long ago, it was mentioned the standard school library should have a minimum area of 56 square meters. For Gianyar Regency, the sub-standard library amounted to 77 units. Those schools were still using particular renovated room. “Land availability also becomes one of the obstacles in the development of school library,” he explained.

He continued that central government was planning to make a light and medium renova-tion to the existing school libraries next year. “Hopefully, the remaining schools that do not have a school library in Gianyar can be real-ized,” he said. (kmb16)

“We call it the Cretaceous acous-tic effect, because ocean acidifica-tion forced by global warming appears to be leading us back to the similar ocean acoustic conditions as those that existed 110 million years ago, during the Age of Dinosaurs,” David G. Browning, an acoustician at the University of Rhode Island, said in a statement.

Oceans tend to become more acidic when carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere rise. That’s be-cause a portion of that greenhouse gas enters the oceans, where it dissolves, and due to chemical

reactions, makes the waters more acidic. Previous studies on seafloor sediments have allowed scientists to reconstruct ocean acidity for the past 300 million years, showing that there had been previous spikes and dips in acid levels.

But these sediments also allow scientists to reconstruct sound-scapes. The level of low-frequency sound absorption is, in part, de-pendent on pH levels (lower pH means more acidity), meaning this geological record can also be used to estimate sound transmission in the ocean during long-gone eras.

(Lower pH levels mean lower sound absorption and better sound transmission.)

Browning and his colleagues pre-dicted today’s oceans have similar low-frequency sound transmission as they did about 300 million years ago, during the Paleozoic Era. But the oceans are becoming more and more acidic — faster than they have in the past 300 million years, ac-cording to recent estimates — put-ting underwater acoustic conditions on a fast track to the soundscape of 110 million years ago when seas were much more acidic.

Director Edgar Wright, known for movies such as “Shaun of the Dead,” announced earlier this week he would be making a movie about Ant-Man, a comic superhero who can shrink to the size of an ant and communicate with his formic brethren, according to the news site Grantland. If it’s anything like the comic, it will also feature ants as big as humans, which got us thinking: Could ants be as big as people? And why aren’t insects bigger than they are?

The short answer is, researchers don’t know exactly, although there are several hypotheses as to why insects and other arthropods don’t get bigger, said insect physiologist Jon Harrison, at Arizona State University in Tempe.

The first hypothesis is that insects’ exoskeletons may not be strong enough to allow them to get much bigger — that they’d have to become impossibly thick. Harrison learned this theory as an established fact during his training, but little experimental evidence to support the idea exists, he said. The only study to look at this question found that larger arthropods don’t have thicker exoskel-etons, he said. “So there’s no direct evidence for this,” he said.

Too tasty

Because exoskeletons are rigid, insects need to molt as they grow, shedding the old skin and growing a new one. Scientists have suggested this vulnerable time puts a ceiling on size: Larger animals, particularly those without protective skeletons, would make for more attractive meals to a predator. “The bigger you get, the more of a tasty vulnerable package you are,” goes the thinking, Harrison said.

A related theory suggests being larger makes you a more at-tractive meal, whether molting or not. One study found that the size of ancient flies declined as birds evolved, suggesting smaller creatures were better able to avoid hungry raptors and pass on their genes.

Another possibility: Insects have open circulatory systems, where blood and bodily fluids aren’t bound up in vessels, as is the case with most vertebrates. This makes it more difficult to move blood throughout a large body, as circulation would be hampered by gravity, which pulls blood downward.

NEW YORK - Boys in the United States may be entering puberty earlier than in genera-tions past, a new study has found, suggesting it’s not just girls who are developing at younger ages.

In comparisons with decades-old data, boys who were seen for well-child visits between 2005 and 2010 were maturing six months to two years sooner, based on their genital develop-ment.

The finding is significant for researchers seeking to understand why the age of puberty may be

As oceans become more acidic, researchers predict they will carry sound as they did during the Age of the Dinosaurs. Some 110 million years ago, sound is believed to have traveled up to twice as fast through the seas as it does now.

Oceans in 2100 May ‘Sound’ Like Dinosaur-Era Seas

Scuba divers in the year 2100 might hear what the dinosaurs did, new research suggests. Rising acidity in the oceans could set underwater acoustic conditions back to the Cretaceous period, scientists say, allowing some low-frequency sounds like whale songs to travel perhaps twice as far as they do now.

Like girls, U.S. boys may be hitting puberty earlier

creeping down.The discovery is also impor-

tant for parents, who have to know how and when to discuss changing bodies with their chil-dren, according to the lead author of the study published online Sat-urday by the journal Pediatrics.

“They need to talk to their boys earlier than they would have thought about puberty and sexual development and all of those related issues,” said Marcia Herman-Giddens at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Recent studies from the Unit-ed States and elsewhere have

shown that girls are maturing at a younger age, with many start-ing to develop breasts as early as age 7 or 8.

Doctors haven’t necessarily thought the same early puberty trend applied to boys. Some doc-tors blame estrogen-like chemi-cals in the environment for girls’ earlier development. Those same chemicals would be expected to delay sexual maturation in boys.

But even if boys are devel-oping earlier than in the past, that doesn’t mean they are more mature socially and psychologi-cally at younger ages, researchers said.

The Tanah Lot 3 Days Event is ready to be held. The Regent of Ta-banan, Ni Putu Eka Wiryastuti, will open the traditional cultural event on Thursday, November 1, 2012 and last for three days. “Other than preserving the arts existing in Tabanan, this event is also meant to explore the potential and give a space to younger generation to develop their art creativity,” said Operations Manager of the Tanah Lot Destination, I Ketut Toya Adnyana.

Various kinds of art will be performed, starting from the appearance of Kid Gong Kebyar, Women Kebyar Gong, Barong Dance in combination with Tektekan, Creative Dance, Slonding to Ramayana Ballet. Competi-tive products of food industry, craft and design will also be exhibited. Similarly, it will be graced with a photo exhibition, documentation of Tanah Lot destination and painting exhibition.

For the handicraft exhibition, the committee would feature the typical handicrafts of Tanah Lot namely the ‘coconut fiber monkey statue.’ In the past, the statue always embellished the tourist destination, but had disappeared for lacking of regeneration. Now, it would be introduced back. “With the involvement of the community, it is expected to give birth to young generation with outstanding achievement,” said this former tourist guide.

Especially for the exhibition of the agricultural products existing in Tabanan, his party made collaboration with the Industry and Coopera-tives Agency, in addition to involving local community. Type of the craft products exhibited consisted of sarong, fabrics and distinctive headband of Pandak village. In addition, there would be a culinary exhibition featuring the rice bag served with peanut sauce and assorted vegetables, manila duck lawar, rice with roasted suckling pig, seafood satay and others.

When met in his workplace, he said the committee would present Barong Dance for three days in succession. The time chosen to present of this classic dance would be in the afternoon. “We want to revive the art of barong performance in Tabanan. In addition, it also poses the preparation for the launching of Barong Dance at Tanah Lot,” he explained.

The art of barong would be presented by the artists and scheduled to be performed every day from 10:00 a.m. With the cultural richness of clas-sical art owned by Tabanan, his party had confidence if the event would draw many visitors. Moreover, domestic tourists coming from Java Island had made stopover as well as taken a rest and shower at the destination from 06:00 a.m. “By all means, this performing art will become the first presentation to see,” he said.

Meanwhile, in the afternoon before the sunset, his party would present the charming art of Cak. Tabanan had tektekan, okokan and the other arts that would also be prepared to become a regular performance. “We will attempt to find out a chance to present the unique art of Tabanan. Addi-tion of the other art performances is also necessary so that it will get rid of the impression of monotone,” he said. (BTN/015)

“In the past five years, the number of passengers of cabin cruisers visiting the country has increased significantly,” Rizki Handayani, the ministry’s direc-tor for promotion, convention, incentive and event, said.

In 2008, the number of pas-sengers of tourist boats visiting Indonesia was recorded at 21,616 , up to 68,566 in 2009 and to 112,882 in 2011. In the first half of 2012, the number already reached 114,000 tourists.

“In 2013, we set the target for the visitors coming with tourists boats at 160,000,” Rizki said here on Saturday.

He said the number of pleasure trips by cabin cruisers to the coun-try grew from 36 in 2008 to 135 in

2009 and to 176 trips in 2011. In 2012, the number is expect-

ed to rise to 214 trips, he said, adding, “in 2013, we hope the number would reach 300 trips.”

The government, therefore, plans to continue development of supporting facilities in the ports of tourist destination areas such as Benoa, Belawan, Tanjung Perak, Semarang and Kumai, he said. “Currently the government is expanding ports and modern-izing facilities to improve servic-es in Benoa, Tanjung Perak and Celukan Bawang in the regency of Buleleng,” he said.

The government and state port operator PT Pelindo III are build-ing new piers in Probolinggo and Komodo of East Nusa Tenggara.

“The government in cooperat-ing with Bounty Cruise plans to build a cruiser pier at the Seng-gigi beach of the Nara bay of Lombok,” he added.

Pelindo III general manager Iwan Sabatini said the company has dredged the eastern part of the Senggigi port basin.

“We are dredging the eastern part of the port basin as more tourist boats are expected to call at the port,” Iwan said.

He said cruiser cabins are ex-pected to make up to 40 trips to Lombok to call at the Senggigi port this year.

“Increase has also been re-corded in the visits of tourist boats at the Benoa port from 35 trips in 2011, he said.

CERNOBBIO - Prime Minis-ter Mario Monti said on Saturday he expected it would be only a few more months before signs of recovery start to emerge in the recession-hit Italian economy.

Addressing an agriculture conference in northern Italy, Monti spoke of “a few months, just a few months I hope that we have left before we start seeing clear signs of recovery.”

Italy has been in a recession since the middle of last year, weighed down by austerity mea-sures passed by Monti’s govern-ment to cut the country’s massive debt, including tax hikes, spend-ing cuts and a pension overhaul.

Unemployment has risen to its highest since monthly records be-gan in 2004 and unions are locked in growing disputes with companies over plant closures and layoffs.

Monti defended the austerity measures, and said he believed his government would be remem-bered for having helped Italy pull

itself out of a deep economic crisis without needing to resort to external aid.

“I hope that one day we can say that thanks to us Italy was not colonized by Europe and it maintained its own dignified sovereignty in an increasingly integrated Europe,” he said.

Monti said an agreement by EU leaders at a Brussels summit this week to allow the European Central Bank to supervise banks from next year would also help speed up the resolution of the euro zone crisis.

The European Commission has proposed making the ECB responsible for supervision as a step towards a banking union in which euro zone countries and any others that want to join would together resolve problem banks and protect savers’ deposits.

“This is another step to accelerate the end of the crisis and to strengthen European governance through a more efficient supervision of bank-ing activities aimed at avoiding contagion risks,” Monti said.

MAGAZINE ad revenue is seen rising 2.6 percent this year to $18.3 billion, according to research firm eMarketer. That would be the third increase in three years, driven mainly by gains in digital ad sales, though print ads are expected to be flat.

Paid magazine subscriptions were up 1.1 percent in the first half of the year, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. And while single-copy sales at newsstands are down 9.6 percent, overall cir-culation - the bulk of which is in print - is steady compared with a year ago.

The water is so warm for the magazine industry that in the first nine months of the year, 181 new

magazines were launched while only about a third as many, or 61, closed, according to publication database MediaFinder.com.

By several measures, the maga-zine business has stabilized, albeit at a lower level, since the Great Recession ended three years ago.

Newsweek is using a difficult print ad environment as an “excuse” for its decision to end print runs, said Samir Husni, director of the Magazine Innovation Center at the University of Mississippi School of Journalism.

He lays the blame at the feet of Tina Brown, the editor who took control of Newsweek when it merged with the news website she ran, The Daily Beast, two years ago.

“Tina Brown took Newsweek in the wrong direction,” Husni said. “Newsweek did not die, Newsweek committed suicide.”

To be sure, the problems were acute by the time Brown took con-trol. Newsweek’s circulation had plummeted from about 3.1 million in 2007 to 1.8 million in 2010, when

The Washington Post Co. sold the magazine to stereo equipment mag-nate Sidney Harman for $1. Harman later placed Newsweek into a joint venture with IAC/InterActiveCorp’s The Daily Beast website in an effort to trim the magazine’s losses and widen its online audience.

Going all-digital could solve many problems associated with the print magazine business. For instance, magazine publishers charge advertisers according to a so-called “rate card” that is based on a promised number of paying subscribers, called a “rate base.” If subscriptions fall, publishers then must spend a lot of money mailing potential customers and offering heavy discounts just to keep advertising revenue from falling.

Moving online could solve that problem, which hit Newsweek in particular, said Tom Rosenstiel, di-rector of the Project for Excellence in Journalism at the Pew Research Center in Washington.

However, it’s a choice that doesn’t reflect the general health

of the industry, said Mary Berner, president of The Association of Magazine Media.

She said she doesn’t want a de-

cision by one publication to be an indication that the entire magazine industry “is going down the toilet.” (Associated Press)

The cost of inaction could be high. The World Bank says without change, annual growth could sink to 5 percent by 2015 — dangerously low by Chinese standards. Some private sector analysts give even gloomier warnings.

The government’s own advisers say it needs to promote service indus-tries and consumer spending, shifting away from reliance on exports and investment. That will require opening more industries to entrepreneurs and forcing cosseted state companies to compete. State banks would have to lend more to private business that is starved for credit.

The ruling party’s latest five-year

development plan promises reforms in broad terms. Premier Wen Jiabao apologized at a news conference in March for not moving fast enough and vowed quicker action. But many changes could face opposi-tion from China’s most influential factions — state companies, their allies in the party, bureaucrats and local leaders.

“If the challenge is, can they do radical reform all at once, we know that won’t happen because these leaders aren’t powerful enough,” said Scott Kennedy, director of In-diana University’s Research Center for Chinese Politics & Business in Beijing. “They are facing interests

which wouldn’t possibly allow that to occur.”

Also at issue is how much Com-munist Party leaders are willing to cut back state industry that provides jobs and money to underpin the party’s monopoly on power.

Li Keqiang is the man in line to lead reforms as the next premier, China’s top economic official. Now a vice premier, Li is seen as a politi-cal insider with an easygoing style, not a hard-driving reformer. Along with the rest of the party’s Standing Committee, the ruling inner circle due to be installed in November, Li will govern by consensus, which could blunt their force.

The man in line to become Com-munist Party leader and China’s president, Xi Jinping, has a similar reputation for successful inaction.

The next leadership will inherit one of the world’s strongest econo-mies but one in which advocates say reform is stalled.

BEIJING — China’s economic model that delivered three decades of double-digit growth is running out of steam and the country’s next leaders face tough choices to keep incomes rising. But they don’t seem to have ambitious solutions. Even if they do, they will need to tackle entrenched interests with backing high in the Communist Party.

DENPASAR - The United States warship, USS Green Bay (LPD-20), is making a four-day stop in Bali as part of its sailing mission in the South East Asian region.

“We are here from Thursday to Sunday (Oct.18-21) after visiting Hawaii and Timor Leste,” the ship’s field commander, Lt. Robinson, said.

The heavy equipment transport ship conducted its sailing mission from its home base in San Diego, California.

The warship weighing 28,000 tons with 208.5 meters long and 39 meters wide also carried tanks, and 1,000 Navy personnel, he said.

“This ship never takes part in a war but in exercises instead such as the combat equipment landing in several parts of the world,” Robinson said.

Meanwhile, the ship’s captain Col.Putnam Browne said that the warship was making a stop in Bali at the request of the ship’s personnel.

The United States warship, USS Green Bay (LPD-20), is making a four-day stop here as part of its sailing mission in the South East Asian region.

It was revealed by the Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Busi-ness (FEB) of Undiknas, Prof. Dr. IB Raka Suardana, in Denpasar.

He said the revenue-sharing in Law No. 33/2004 was the fund coming from the state budget revenues allocated for the regions based on a percentage to fund the needs of region in the context of decentralization. However, the law contained a substantial weak-ness in terms of natural resources revenue-sharing, where natural resources was only viewed from the perspective of mineral resources, particularly mining.

“It shows a subjective and non-holistic point of view. So far, the tourism posing a potential natural resource on earth has factually been able to generate consider-able foreign exchanges beyond the oil and gas sector but was apparently not included in the law,” he said.

According to him, if tourism could not be included in the natu-ral resources, in the revision draft should be added with the service

sector (not only natural resources). Therefore, tourism was also in-cluded in the service sector. The service sector could be composed of sub-sectors of tourism services, air-port services and seaport services. Revenue sharing obtained from the service sector might be derived from the acquisition of Visa on Ar-rival (VoA), airport tax and services in the sea port.

“Revenue of the VoA is halved, 50 percent for the government and 50 percent for the region. Mean-while, in the region it is further di-vided into 10 per cent for the prov-ince and the remaining 40 percent is evenly divided for all regencies and municipality,” he suggested.

Meanwhile, the revenue of the airport tax and other services existing at the airport, Raka Su-ardana proposed it to be divided into 80 percent for the operating company and 20 percent for the re-gion. In the region, the percentage was divided again into 10 percent for the province and another 10 percent for the producing regency/municipality.

“Revenue of the sea port ser-vices should be divided with the composition of 80 percent for the operating company and 20 percent for the region. Portion of the region

is subdivided where the province gets 10 percent and another 10 per-cent for the producing regency or municipality,” said Raka Suardana while adding that such proposal had

been submitted to the Committee IV of the Regional Representatives of the RI, chiefly to the Revenue Shar-ing Special Committee (DBH) in a national seminar. (kmb27)

Monday’s face-off in Boca Ra-ton, Fla., represents one of the last major opportunities for Obama and Romney to capture the attention of millions of voters — especially that small but sought-after group of voters who haven’t yet made up their minds.

Obama was holed up in Camp David in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains, where he arrived Friday to prep for the debate, a 90-minute encounter focused on international affairs. With him at the presidential retreat were a band of top advisers including National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, campaign strategist David Axelrod and White House senior adviser David Plouffe.

Romney planned to spend the weekend in Florida, continuing intensive preparation that has con-sumed large amounts of his time in

recent weeks.Foreign policy has surfaced as

a prominent issue in the waning weeks of the race, elevated by a deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and a restive situation in Syria. Although polls show voters continue to prioritize economic issues, both candidates are aggressively pitching them-selves as more competent to be commander in chief.

In an unusually quiet day on the campaign trail, Romney running mate Paul Ryan was the only can-didate to be out in front of voters. The Wisconsin congressman plans two events Sunday in Iowa, includ-ing one in Sioux City with country singer Mark Wills, plus an evening rally in Colorado.

Still, with a tight race closing in, neither Romney nor Obama can

afford more than a few days away from the handful of states that will decide the winner.

Obama planned a whirlwind ex-cursion starting after Monday’s de-bate. Events Tuesday in Florida and Ohio will be followed by around-the-clock campaigning Wednesday in Davenport, Iowa; Denver; Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Then on to Tampa, Fla.; Richmond, Va.; and Cleveland on Thursday, when Obama will also return home to Chicago to vote early as part of the campaign’s push for early and absentee voting.

In a sign that the candidates’ time has become the most precious commodity, Obama’s aides said he planned to sleep Wednesday night aboard Air Force One and would call undecided voters from the airplane between stops.

AMMAN — An explosion hit the Old City of Damascus on Sunday, killing at least 10 people and wounding dozens of other civilians, Syrian activists said. It came as President Bashar Assad discussed the civil war in his country with visiting U.N. peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi.

The blast targeted a police station in the Bab Touma neighborhood, a Syrian official said, insisting on anonymity because he is not allowed to make press statements.

Bab Touma, a popular attraction for shoppers, is inhabited mostly by members of Syria’s Christian minority.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported the death toll. It said it was not immediately clear if the victims were civilians or policemen. But it described the blast as “strong” and said ambulances and police cars were rushing to the area.

No other details were immediately available.Brahimi, who represents the U.N. and the Arab League, met with Assad

in another part of the capital. Brahimi has appealed for a truce between Assad’s forces and rebels for the four-day Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, which begins Oct. 26.

Brahimi arrived in Damascus Friday after a tour of Middle East capitals to drum up support for the cease-fire, which he hopes will pave the way for a longer-term truce.

A range of countries including Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Germany have thrown their support behind the idea, but neither the Syrian government nor the rebels have signed on.

Brahimi met Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem on Saturday. A For-eign Ministry statement released after the meeting did not mention the proposed truce, but said the two men discussed “objective and rational circumstances to stop the violence from any side in order to prepare for a comprehensive dialogue among the Syrians.”

Syrian government forces and rebels have both agreed to and then promptly violated internationally brokered cease-fires in the past, and there is little indication that either is willing to stop fighting now.

“As a big city, as well as the nation`s capital, Jakarta badly need a mass transport system,” Armida said during a working visit here on Sunday.

Armida, who is also the National Development Planning Board (Bap-penas) head, said mass transport development in Jakarta was very es-sential to serve as the motor for social and economic growth in the region, supported by the growing national economy and development.

In the working visit the Bappenas Head and the Indonesian envoy came to see the control center of Beijing transportation network which is used to monitor 13 subway tracks. The local Administration planned to build 15 of them in the first phase.

The Beijing Administration planned to build 32 subway tracks across the region in two phases.

The first phase consisted of con-struction of 15 subway tracks with a length of 327 km, while in the second phase, 19 subway tracks would not be built until the next year, monitoring officer Ren Qi Chen said.

By comparison to Jakarta, Beijing would have built 32 subway tracks as far as 651 km in 2015, whereas around 7.59 million passengers are using Bei-jing subway service everyday.

Meanwhile, director for Trans-portation Department of Bappenas Bambang Prihartono said Jakarta`s Mass Rapid Transport project had been planned since 1986 and the

Administration did some studies of mass transport means in Jakarta which resulted in the establishment of PT. Mass Rapid Transit Jakarta in June 17 2008.

The Administration claimed that they had conducted some planning on transportation system and network improvement as well as the urban transportation and planned to finish the MRT and monorail projects in 2014 at the latest, Bambang said.

The tender process of the MRT project is under way. The first step of the project would the construc-tion of underground tracks as well as overpass track from Lebak Bulus to Hotel Indonesia traffic circle (Bun-daran HI).

Previously, the Deputy Governor of Jakarta Basuki Tjahaja Purnama met the officials of the Jakarta Trans-portation Office, PT. Adhi Karya, PT. Lembaga Elektronika Nasional PT. Industri Kereta Api and PT. Telkom to discuss the monorail project.

The Deputy Governor confidently said that three years ahead, Jakartans could use the monorail service.

The already installed and ne-glected pillars in some area of Jakarta would be used for the construction of three tracks of monorail which would serve three routes such as Tanah Abang-Palmerah-Mega Kuningan-Senayan; Cawang Atas-Senen-Ancol; and Cawang Atas-Grogol-National Monument.

JAKARTA - South Korean steel giant Posco plans to nearly double its Indonesia investments to $11 billion over five years, the coun-try’s chief economics minister said Friday.

The world’s fourth-largest steel-maker currently has $6 billion invested in Indonesia, which is seeking overseas money to build infrastructure it needs to maintain strong economic growth, which hit 6.5 percent last year.

“Posco will increase its commit-ment up to $11 billion for further development in cold steel, energy and smelters,” Hatta Rajasa told

reporters.Posco has also agreed to invest

in a 600-Megawatt coal-fired power plant in southern Sumatra.

The firm was also interested in a nickel refinery, biofuel, diesel fuel and information technology in Southeast Asia’s most-populous nation, Rajasa said according to state-run news agency Antara.

Once approved, the projects will take five years to build, Rajasa added.

Indonesia is heavily reliant on foreign investment to improve technology and infrastructure as its economy booms. The country aims to make the world’s top 10 economies by 2025.

JAKARTA - More than 1,300 people clashed with security guards at an Indonesian shoe fac-tory which supplies sportswear giants Adidas and Mizuno, police said Thursday, months after they were sacked for striking over better pay.

The workers were laid off in July after walking out over demands for back pay following a hike in the minimum wage at the start of 2012.

Confirming the clashes dur-ing a rally at which the former workers were calling to be re-instated, Wahyu Widodo, police chief of Tangerang, said police were “helping mediate” between protesters and the owners of the Panarub Dwikarya factory.

Indonesia is an increasingly popular destination for major manufacturing companies, lured by cheap labour, but the 240 million-strong nation has wit-nessed frequent bouts of labour

unrest as workers demand better pay and employment rights.

The scuffles in Tangerang, around 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Jakarta, abated when the company agreed to meet protest leaders late Thursday, although hundreds of former workers remained in the factory yard, an AFP reporter at the scene said.

The firm could not immedi-ately be reached for comment.

“The workers want to be hired back, their children’s education is depending on it, and we want the company to sit together with us and work on an agreement,” said Ernawati -- who like many Indonesians goes by one name -- from the Independent Labour Union Alliance, which took part in the rally.

Adidas issued a statement after the July strike urging the factory, which the German com-pany calls an “overflow” facility for its local supplier, to rehire the workers and pay the wages owed, pledging not to make fresh orders

until the dispute is resolved.Adidas was forced to probe

its Indonesian operations in April after a report in a British newspaper alleged nine factories it used to produce Olympic shoes and clothing employed workers on 65-hour weeks for as little as 5,000 rupiah ($0.55) an hour.

Indonesia’s economy grew 6.5 percent in 2011 and attracted record foreign direct investment of $20 billion.

Yet Indonesian factory work-ers remain some of the lowest-paid in Asia, often earning less than their counterparts in China or India.

Hundreds of thousands of factory workers went on strike across Indonesia on October 3 demanding better pay and job security as Southeast Asia’s big-gest economy booms.

In another major strike in Jan-uary, workers in Bekasi blocked a toll road to the capital, leaving trucks and traffic snarled for 10 hours.

Protestors (seen at left) clash with company security personnel who are supported by new employees (R) of the Panarub Dwikarya factory, outside the factory gate in Tangerang west of Jakarta on October 18, 2012. More than 1,300 people clashed with security guards at an Indonesian shoe factory which supplies sportswear giants Adidas and Mizuno, police said on October 18, a few months after they were sacked for striking over better pay.

Clashes hit Indonesian factory used by AdidasOn that occasion was also revealed five investors that wanted

to manage the mangrove forest but only four other investors asked for the management permit at the zone of preservation and conservation so that they were rejected. Only PT TRB proposed the utilization permit on the utilization block so that the permit could be issued after passing through a comprehensive assessment and paying attention to the environmental impact assessment (Amdal).

Formerly, Deputy Governor of Bali, AA Ngurah Puspayoga, rejected the permit and asked to immediately revoke it. “I am forced to disagree with Mr. Governor regarding the leasing of mangrove forest for 55 years. I disagree. I want the mangroves to function as it is. Let us preserve the mangrove forest so that it will not change the function of mangrove forest into tourist ac-commodation,” affirmed Puspayoga.

Similarly, the factions in the Bali House also rejected and re-quested in order the permit of PT TRB to be revoked because the mangrove forest was stronghold of the South Bali from the threat of erosion, tidal waves and tsunamis. Though the utilization was enabled but it was not for establishing the buildings because it potentially harmed the environment. Moreover, the permit was intended for commercial purposes. Issuance of the permit was also considered highly to go up against the Bali Clean and Green program.

Similar rejection also came from Chairman of the Bali House, Cok Ratmadi. Cok Rat said in the near future the House would issue a recommendation for revocation of the permit.

Ratmadi also requested the Governor of Bali to absorb the peo-ple’s aspirations and never impose the will by passing the permit amidst the rejection from the community. “All leaderships of the House rejected the permit so that it should be revoked. Governor may not obtrude. If the community’s aspiration wants to revoke the permit, simply revoke it. It is okay and not a problem to revoke a permit. Do not be forced,” he affirmed. (kmb29)

That process played out over the opening nine laps, with Pedrosa staying within half a second of Lorenzo before slipping ahead at Turn 15. A resurgent Casey Stoner, and the advent of a fresh downpour, upset the sequence, however. As Pedrosa eased away Lorenzo’s grip on second became increasingly precarious.

Unhappy with the conditions, the championship leader gestured several times to marshals, while all time being hounded by Stoner.

A five-second gap was whittled down to 1.9s within two laps, before the pressure told when Lorenzo flirted with disaster with a massive moment at Turn 15. To his relief the red flags flew almost immediately after as the rain set in and the vis-

ibility decreased.After a long delay while organis-

ers weighed up a restart - an option that was eventually abandoned due to the terrible conditions – Lorenzo was eventually confirmed in second, limiting the damage of Pedrosa’s win. It is, however, the sixth consecutive occasion he has started on pole and come home runner-up.

Stoner ended the race in third, swarming over the back of Lorenzo. The Australian had initially been at the head of a large battle for the final step on the podium, but as the weather worsened and others fell his pace improved and he eased away.

Ducati ended fourth and fifth courtesy of Nicky Hayden and

Valentino Rossi. The Italian had run fourth early on, but dropped back to ninth and had to fight his way back up the order.

His task was made easier by a litany of crashes. Ben Spies on the second Yamaha was one of the earliest, suffering a heavy high-side through Turns 7 and 8 on lap eight.

Andrea Dovizioso crashed one lap later while running fourth and chasing Stoner, while his Tech 3 team-mate Cal Crutchlow also exited when he lost the front under braking at Turn 15. Aspar’s Randy de Puniet followed suit moments later, his bike flipping into the gravel even as Crutchlow began to trudge off.

Dovizioso was at least able to return and was 13th when the race was halted. Gresini’s Alvaro Bau-tista and Pramac Ducati’s Hector Barbera rounded out the top seven, ahead of CRT riders Aleix Espar-garo, James Ellison and the second satellite Ducati of Karel Abraham.

MOSCOW - Top seed Saman-tha Stosur reached her first final in eight months with a comeback

2-6 6-3 6-2 win over fourth-seeded Serbian Ana Ivanovic in the Krem-lin Cup semi-finals on Saturday. The Australian will face another former world number one Caroline

Wozniacki in Sunday’s final after the Danish third seed beat unseeded Swede Sofia Arvidsson 6-3 6-7 6-4 in the first semi-final at the Olympic indoor arena.

Italian second seed Andreas Seppi, who is having his best season in 2012, will meet fourth-seeded Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci in the men’s final on Sunday. After split-

ting the first two sets, 2011 U.S. Open champion Stosur broke Ivanovic in the fifth game for a 3-2 lead after the Serbian missed an easy vol-ley on break point.

Ivanovic took a medical break after falling behind but looked a shadow of her for-mer self after coming back on court as Stosur reeled off the next three games for an easy victory. “Ana played a very good first set, forcing me on the defensive,” Stosur, who lost to world number one Victoria Azarenka in her last final in Doha in Febru-ary, told reporters.

“In the second set I think I started serving a lot better and I was more aggressive on the returns. That was the key.” Ivanovic said once she felt a twinge in her side her level of play dropped. “I felt something in my hip. I tried to shake it off but it got gradually worse,” she said.

SCANDINAVIAN BATTLEWozniacki had a much

tougher time against her Scandinavian rival. She

served for the match at 6-5 in the sec-ond set but 46th-ranked Arvidsson battled back to force a tiebreak. In the third set, the Dane again served for the match after pulling ahead 5-3 and missed her chance on her serve but she finally ended Arvidsson’s resistance in the next game.

World number 11 Wozniacki, looking for her second WTA title of the season after winning the Korea Open last month, blamed the slow surface for her inability to finish the match. “It was very tough to finish off the point on this surface, especially because we know each other so well,” she said.

“I had to raise my game in order to win today.” On the men’s side world number 25 Seppi took just 79 minutes to dispose of Malek Jaziri, thrashing the first Tunisian player to reach the last four on the ATP Tour 6-3 6-1, while Bellucci beat giant Croatian Ivo Karlovic 6-7 6-4 6-4.

A tired-looking Karlovic, one of the tallest players on the tour at 2.08 metres and with a booming serve, doubled faulted to hand victory to the 41st-ranked Brazilian. “For me it’s very special to be playing in this final,” said Bellucci, whose four previous finals had been played on clay.

“But it’ll be a completely differ-ent match tomorrow, with lots of long rallies,” added the 24-year-old three-times tour winner.

LONDON - Juan Mata’s double helped leaders Chelsea beat Tot-tenham Hotspur 4-2 in a captivat-ing London derby on Saturday and Wayne Rooney and Edin Dzeko both struck twice to keep Man-chester United and Manchester City in hot pursuit.

Spaniard Mata crushed former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas’s hopes of Premier League victory against the club that sacked him in March with a scintillating display at White Hart Lane, scor-ing twice in three minutes after the break to end a stirring Tottenham revival.

Rooney marked the 10th an-niversary of his wonder-goal for Everton against Arsenal as a 16-year-old with an eventful afternoon at Old Trafford. His own goal gave Stoke City a shock early lead but he made amends at the right end as a rampant United ran out 4-2 winners.

Unbeaten Chelsea have 22 points from eight games, four more than United and champions Manchester City who looked in deep trouble when they trailed 1-0 to Shane Long’s goal at West Bromwich Albion having also had winger James Milner sent off. Bosnian Dzeko then came off the bench to win it for Roberto Mancini’s side - his second goal arriving in stoppage time.

Arsenal missed a chance to move into fourth place when they suf-fered their first defeat at Norwich City since 1984 - Grant Holt’s goal sealing the first league win of the

season for Chris Hughton’s team. Liverpool beat Reading 1-0, their first home league win of the season sealed by Raheem Sterling.

West Ham United thumped Southampton 4-1, Swansea City defeated Wigan Athletic 2-1 while Fulham also enjoyed a home vic-tory, 1-0 against struggling Aston Villa.

The build-up to Chelsea’s trip to Spurs was focused on skipper John Terry’s four-game FA ban for racially insulting Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand but it was his replacement Gary Cahill who set the ball rolling for his side.

THUNDEROUS VOLLEY

Cahill struck a thunderous volley to put Chelsea ahead after 17 min-utes, latching on to William Gallas’s poor header. Former Chelsea de-fender Gallas hit back by glancing in a close-range header two minutes after the interval before Jermain Defoe’s opportunist strike put Tot-tenham 2-1 ahead.

Defoe’s 200th career goal was a footnote to a great game, however, as Mata then took control. Another poor clearance by Gallas fell to Mata in the 66th minute and he took a touch before burying a shot past Brad Friedel and three minutes later Eden Hazard’s astute pass allowed the Spanish playmaker to beat the American goalkeeper again.

Mata also set up substitute Dan-iel Sturridge to cap an impressive display from pacesetters Chelsea who have achieved back-to-back away victories at Arsenal and Tot-

tenham. “It was only the 10 or 12 minutes early in the second half that Tottenham got back in the game. We lost a bit of control but for the rest of the game we took the initia-tive,” Di Matteo told Sky Sports television.

“It was a test of our character today, coming here against a team in form who had four consecutive wins. “It was a big derby for us, especially after the international break there are always a few ques-tion marks but the answers we gave were perfect,” added Di Matteo.

At Old Trafford, Rooney was joined on the United scoresheet by Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck but while manager Alex Ferguson praised the trio he was less than pleased with defender Rio Ferdinand who refused to wear an anti-racism tee-shirt in the pre-match warm-up.

Ferdinand was one of several players around the country not to support the ‘Kick It Out’ awareness day in the light of the Terry saga and events in Serbia this week when England’s under-21s were racially abused by fans.

“I spoke to the press about this yesterday. It is embarrassing for me. He will be dealt with, no doubt about that,” said Ferguson. Dzeko is proving a super-sub this season for City.

Mancini’s team were heading for defeat before the Bosnian was introduced. He equalised with a header after 80 minutes and then, after City keeper Joe Hart had kept his side ahead with a great save, finished off a superb breakaway by the visitors to seal victory.

ROME - Juventus moved three points clear at the top of Serie A after beating title rivals Napoli 2-0 with two late goals while AC Milan continued their worst start in seven decades with a 3-2 defeat at high-flying Lazio. Champions Juve scored twice in as many minutes late in the second half through Jose Martin Caceres and Paul Pogba to win a hotly-contested match in Turin that saw Antonio Conte’s side stretch their unbeaten league run to 46 games.

Caceres netted a powerful header after 80 minutes and Pogba wrapped up the victory over second-placed Napoli with a stunning volley two min-utes later to score his first goal for the club. “It was a difficult match for us. We deserved to win,” Caceres told Sky Sport Italia. “It’s fundamental for us that we can look at the bench and ask for them to change a match.”

“This doesn’t change anything however, this is only three points. There are still 30 matches to go.” Napoli were second best for much of the game but almost opened the scoring after 26 minutes when striker Edison Cavani crashed a free-kick against the bar from a tight angle.

Despite being the dominant side, the closest Juve came to scoring in a tight first half was in added time when Claudio Marchisio struck a power-ful shot from the edge of the area that Napoli keeper Morgan De Sanctis did well to tip over the bar.

Sebastian Giovinco was a constant thorn in Napoli’s side and should have given Juventus the lead 10 minutes into the second period but, after working some space in a tightly packed area, he blasted his shot wide with the goal at his mercy. Juve’s Alessandro Matri also wasted a good chance after 65 minutes when he failed to control a beautiful long pass from Andrea Pirlo eight metres out with only De Sanctis to beat.

However, Conte’s determined team were not to be denied and with 10 minutes to go Caceres headed firmly into the net from Pirlo’s corner two minutes after coming on for Kwadwo Asamoah. Former Manchester United youngster Pogba sealed the three points with a superb strike two minutes later, expertly firing a long-range volley low past De Sanctis.

In the late game, Lazio stayed within four points of Juventus, who have 22 from eight games, after a nervy finish against Milan who they led by three goals after only 49 minutes. Lazio took the lead in the 24th when Hernanes’ smart dribbling ended with his shot being deflected by Daniele Bonera over the stranded Marco Amelia for his fifth goal this season.

Milan almost equalised straight away when Stephan El Shaarawy fired the ball between the legs of onrushing Lazio keeper Albano Bizzarri, only to see Andre Dias’s last-ditch slide block his goalbound shot. Lazio were clearly the better side, however, and doubled their lead after 41 minutes through Italy international Antonio Candreva, whose swerving long-range rocket shot whizzed past the suprised Amelia into the top right-hand corner of the net.

Miroslav Klose piled on the misery for Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri four minutes into the second half, finding a yawning gap in their defence and beautifully volleying Candreva’s pinpoint long pass home. The goal left the Germany striker as Serie A joint-top scorer so far this season on six with Napoli’s Cavani.

Messi’s 15th La Liga treble earns Barca 5-4 win

MADRID - Lionel Messi’s 15th La Liga hat-trick lit up a nerve-jangling nine-goal thriller as Barcelona survived Javier Mascherano’s red card to win 5-4 at Deportivo Coruna to go three points clear at the top on Saturday. Messi’s latest master-class overshadowed Real Madrid’s drab 2-0 triumph at home to promoted Celta Vigo. Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo (penalty) scored the goals that lifted Jose Mourinho’s team to fourth place, eight points behind arch rivals Barca.

Atletico Madrid who play their game in hand at Real Sociedad on Sunday (1930 GMT).

“He (Messi) is off to the hospital now for a happy occasion as his son is on the way,” Barca sporting direc-tor Andoni Zubizarreta told Spanish television.

Malaga are third on 17 points after Joaquin made amends for fluffing a

penalty by grabbing the winner in a 2-1 victory at home to Real Valladolid. On a day full of late drama, Valencia got their stuttering season back on track when they snatched a 3-2 win over struggling Athletic Bilbao who were leading 2-1 when they had Ander Herrera sent off midway through the second half.

Barca looked to be cruising to a seventh win of the campaign when they raced into a three-goal lead after 18 minutes at Depor’s Riazor stadium. Jordi Alba sped on to a Cesc Fabre-gas pass to score in the third minute, Cristian Tello added a second and then Messi smashed in his first of the night after Fabregas’s clever backheel.

The home side pulled two goals back against the run of play through Pizzi (penalty) and Alex Bergantinos before Messi made the most of another Fabregas assist to make it 4-2 at the break. In a frenetic start to the second half Depor midfielder Pizzi curled in a stunning 47th-minute free kick and Mascherano was harshly shown a sec-ond yellow card two minutes later.

Barca coach Tito Vilanova reacted by replacing Fabregas with Xavi be-fore Messi, who also struck a free kick against the post, appeared to have killed the game when he made it

5-3 with a trademark run and clinical finish in the 77th minute.

A bizarre own goal from Barca full back Jordi Alba, when he lobbed keeper Victor Valdes from inside his own penalty area, gave Depor fresh hope but they were unable to make some late pressure count.

HUGE CONFIDENCE“We could have killed off the

game in the first half but Deportivo are strong when they are playing at home and their fans get behind them,” said Barca playmaker Andres Iniesta. “We are going away with the feeling of having got through a tough match and we will learn from that.”

Real, who are clawing their way up the table after a poor start to the defence of their title, took an 11th-minute lead at the Bernabeu thanks to a Higuain cross-shot from the left that looped over Celta goalkeeper Sergio and into the net. The home team struggled to break through Celta’s well-drilled defence and

needed a 67th-minute Ronaldo penalty, awarded for a foul on Mesut Ozil, to double the lead.

The visitors came close to scoring late on but Real keeper Iker Casillas produced a fine save to keep out South Korea striker Park Chu-young’s header. “We need to stay on this path and try to reduce the gap to the leaders,” said Real defender Sergio Ramos.

“Our confidence is huge and the league is very long. Until there is no mathematical champion, which won’t be for a long time, Madrid will be up there fighting.”

Valladolid took an early lead at Malaga through Angola forward Manu-cho who was then sent off nine minutes from time after picking up a second yellow card.

Promising Spain under-21 play-maker Isco levelled before halftime before Joaquin, a former Spain winger, struck in the 88th minute to make up for his penalty miss three minutes earlier. An Aritz Aduriz double either side of a Roberto Soldado penalty put Bilbao ahead at the break at Valencia’s Mestalla arena.

After Herrera’s dismissal for violent conduct, Alberto Costa levelled in the 88th minute and substitute Nelson Valdez nodded a 90th-minute winner. Valencia are eighth on 11 points while Bilbao are 16th.

About 200 Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 fans were taken into custody after a snack bar was destroyed and police were attacked as trouble broke out at the Ruhr Valley derby on Saturday.

Most of those detained were Schalke supporters, German police said in a statement. “Dortmund and Schalke’s violent criminals consciously undermined our security concept,” said police director Dieter Keil. “Their aim was to fight their rivals and innocent people.”

The trouble started when several hundred visiting fans lit flares on their way to the stadium in Dortmund. They fought home supporters and then attacked police when they tried to separate them.

The Bundesliga match ended in a 2-1 win for third-placed Schalke over Dortmund who are fourth in the table.

The troublemakers had masks, pepper spray, flares and other banned objects, police said. Officers used a water cannon to stop Schalke supporters trying to destroy a fence while mounted

police were also attacked with stones.The rival fans also provoked each other inside the stadium and

more than 1,000 police were called in to keep them apart.The two teams, only a few kilometres apart, are among the most fervently supported in Germany and have one of the

biggest and longest-running rivalries in the league.

Messi’s 15th La Liga treble earns Barca 5-4 win

World Player of the Year Messi, who is expecting the imminent birth of his first child, has notched 71 goals for club and country in 2012. That leaves him only four short of the record set by Brazilian great Pele in 1959. The Argentine has 11 goals in eight La Liga outings this season, two more than Ronaldo.

MADRID - Lionel Messi’s 15th La Liga hat-trick lit up a nerve-jangling nine-goal thriller as Barcelona survived Javier Mascherano’s red card to win 5-4 at Deportivo Coruna to go three points clear at the top on Saturday. Messi’s latest master-class overshadowed Real Madrid’s drab 2-0 triumph at home to promoted Celta Vigo. Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo (penalty) scored the goals that lifted Jose Mourinho’s team to fourth place, eight points behind arch rivals Barca.

Atletico Madrid who play their game in hand at Real Sociedad on Sunday (1930 GMT).

“He (Messi) is off to the hospital now for a happy occasion as his son is on the way,” Barca sporting direc-tor Andoni Zubizarreta told Spanish television.

Malaga are third on 17 points after Joaquin made amends for fluffing a

penalty by grabbing the winner in a 2-1 victory at home to Real Valladolid. On a day full of late drama, Valencia got their stuttering season back on track when they snatched a 3-2 win over struggling Athletic Bilbao who were leading 2-1 when they had Ander Herrera sent off midway through the second half.

Barca looked to be cruising to a seventh win of the campaign when they raced into a three-goal lead after 18 minutes at Depor’s Riazor stadium. Jordi Alba sped on to a Cesc Fabre-gas pass to score in the third minute, Cristian Tello added a second and then Messi smashed in his first of the night after Fabregas’s clever backheel.

The home side pulled two goals back against the run of play through Pizzi (penalty) and Alex Bergantinos before Messi made the most of another Fabregas assist to make it 4-2 at the break. In a frenetic start to the second half Depor midfielder Pizzi curled in a stunning 47th-minute free kick and Mascherano was harshly shown a sec-ond yellow card two minutes later.

Barca coach Tito Vilanova reacted by replacing Fabregas with Xavi be-fore Messi, who also struck a free kick against the post, appeared to have killed the game when he made it

5-3 with a trademark run and clinical finish in the 77th minute.

A bizarre own goal from Barca full back Jordi Alba, when he lobbed keeper Victor Valdes from inside his own penalty area, gave Depor fresh hope but they were unable to make some late pressure count.

HUGE CONFIDENCE“We could have killed off the

game in the first half but Deportivo are strong when they are playing at home and their fans get behind them,” said Barca playmaker Andres Iniesta. “We are going away with the feeling of having got through a tough match and we will learn from that.”

Real, who are clawing their way up the table after a poor start to the defence of their title, took an 11th-minute lead at the Bernabeu thanks to a Higuain cross-shot from the left that looped over Celta goalkeeper Sergio and into the net. The home team struggled to break through Celta’s well-drilled defence and

needed a 67th-minute Ronaldo penalty, awarded for a foul on Mesut Ozil, to double the lead.

The visitors came close to scoring late on but Real keeper Iker Casillas produced a fine save to keep out South Korea striker Park Chu-young’s header. “We need to stay on this path and try to reduce the gap to the leaders,” said Real defender Sergio Ramos.

“Our confidence is huge and the league is very long. Until there is no mathematical champion, which won’t be for a long time, Madrid will be up there fighting.”

Valladolid took an early lead at Malaga through Angola forward Manu-cho who was then sent off nine minutes from time after picking up a second yellow card.

Promising Spain under-21 play-maker Isco levelled before halftime before Joaquin, a former Spain winger, struck in the 88th minute to make up for his penalty miss three minutes earlier. An Aritz Aduriz double either side of a Roberto Soldado penalty put Bilbao ahead at the break at Valencia’s Mestalla arena.

After Herrera’s dismissal for violent conduct, Alberto Costa levelled in the 88th minute and substitute Nelson Valdez nodded a 90th-minute winner. Valencia are eighth on 11 points while Bilbao are 16th.

About 200 Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 fans were taken into custody after a snack bar was destroyed and police were attacked as trouble broke out at the Ruhr Valley derby on Saturday.

Most of those detained were Schalke supporters, German police said in a statement. “Dortmund and Schalke’s violent criminals consciously undermined our security concept,” said police director Dieter Keil. “Their aim was to fight their rivals and innocent people.”

The trouble started when several hundred visiting fans lit flares on their way to the stadium in Dortmund. They fought home supporters and then attacked police when they tried to separate them.

The Bundesliga match ended in a 2-1 win for third-placed Schalke over Dortmund who are fourth in the table.

The troublemakers had masks, pepper spray, flares and other banned objects, police said. Officers used a water cannon to stop Schalke supporters trying to destroy a fence while mounted

police were also attacked with stones.The rival fans also provoked each other inside the stadium and

more than 1,000 police were called in to keep them apart.The two teams, only a few kilometres apart, are among the most fervently supported in Germany and have one of the

biggest and longest-running rivalries in the league.

That process played out over the opening nine laps, with Pedrosa staying within half a second of Lorenzo before slipping ahead at Turn 15. A resurgent Casey Stoner, and the advent of a fresh downpour, upset the sequence, however. As Pedrosa eased away Lorenzo’s grip on second became increasingly precarious.

Unhappy with the conditions, the championship leader gestured several times to marshals, while all time being hounded by Stoner.

A five-second gap was whittled down to 1.9s within two laps, before the pressure told when Lorenzo flirted with disaster with a massive moment at Turn 15. To his relief the red flags flew almost immediately after as the rain set in and the vis-

ibility decreased.After a long delay while organis-

ers weighed up a restart - an option that was eventually abandoned due to the terrible conditions – Lorenzo was eventually confirmed in second, limiting the damage of Pedrosa’s win. It is, however, the sixth consecutive occasion he has started on pole and come home runner-up.

Stoner ended the race in third, swarming over the back of Lorenzo. The Australian had initially been at the head of a large battle for the final step on the podium, but as the weather worsened and others fell his pace improved and he eased away.

Ducati ended fourth and fifth courtesy of Nicky Hayden and

Valentino Rossi. The Italian had run fourth early on, but dropped back to ninth and had to fight his way back up the order.

His task was made easier by a litany of crashes. Ben Spies on the second Yamaha was one of the earliest, suffering a heavy high-side through Turns 7 and 8 on lap eight.

Andrea Dovizioso crashed one lap later while running fourth and chasing Stoner, while his Tech 3 team-mate Cal Crutchlow also exited when he lost the front under braking at Turn 15. Aspar’s Randy de Puniet followed suit moments later, his bike flipping into the gravel even as Crutchlow began to trudge off.

Dovizioso was at least able to return and was 13th when the race was halted. Gresini’s Alvaro Bau-tista and Pramac Ducati’s Hector Barbera rounded out the top seven, ahead of CRT riders Aleix Espar-garo, James Ellison and the second satellite Ducati of Karel Abraham.

MOSCOW - Top seed Saman-tha Stosur reached her first final in eight months with a comeback

2-6 6-3 6-2 win over fourth-seeded Serbian Ana Ivanovic in the Krem-lin Cup semi-finals on Saturday. The Australian will face another former world number one Caroline

Wozniacki in Sunday’s final after the Danish third seed beat unseeded Swede Sofia Arvidsson 6-3 6-7 6-4 in the first semi-final at the Olympic indoor arena.

Italian second seed Andreas Seppi, who is having his best season in 2012, will meet fourth-seeded Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci in the men’s final on Sunday. After split-

ting the first two sets, 2011 U.S. Open champion Stosur broke Ivanovic in the fifth game for a 3-2 lead after the Serbian missed an easy vol-ley on break point.

Ivanovic took a medical break after falling behind but looked a shadow of her for-mer self after coming back on court as Stosur reeled off the next three games for an easy victory. “Ana played a very good first set, forcing me on the defensive,” Stosur, who lost to world number one Victoria Azarenka in her last final in Doha in Febru-ary, told reporters.

“In the second set I think I started serving a lot better and I was more aggressive on the returns. That was the key.” Ivanovic said once she felt a twinge in her side her level of play dropped. “I felt something in my hip. I tried to shake it off but it got gradually worse,” she said.

SCANDINAVIAN BATTLEWozniacki had a much

tougher time against her Scandinavian rival. She

served for the match at 6-5 in the sec-ond set but 46th-ranked Arvidsson battled back to force a tiebreak. In the third set, the Dane again served for the match after pulling ahead 5-3 and missed her chance on her serve but she finally ended Arvidsson’s resistance in the next game.

World number 11 Wozniacki, looking for her second WTA title of the season after winning the Korea Open last month, blamed the slow surface for her inability to finish the match. “It was very tough to finish off the point on this surface, especially because we know each other so well,” she said.

“I had to raise my game in order to win today.” On the men’s side world number 25 Seppi took just 79 minutes to dispose of Malek Jaziri, thrashing the first Tunisian player to reach the last four on the ATP Tour 6-3 6-1, while Bellucci beat giant Croatian Ivo Karlovic 6-7 6-4 6-4.

A tired-looking Karlovic, one of the tallest players on the tour at 2.08 metres and with a booming serve, doubled faulted to hand victory to the 41st-ranked Brazilian. “For me it’s very special to be playing in this final,” said Bellucci, whose four previous finals had been played on clay.

“But it’ll be a completely differ-ent match tomorrow, with lots of long rallies,” added the 24-year-old three-times tour winner.

Monday’s face-off in Boca Ra-ton, Fla., represents one of the last major opportunities for Obama and Romney to capture the attention of millions of voters — especially that small but sought-after group of voters who haven’t yet made up their minds.

Obama was holed up in Camp David in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains, where he arrived Friday to prep for the debate, a 90-minute encounter focused on international affairs. With him at the presidential retreat were a band of top advisers including National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, campaign strategist David Axelrod and White House senior adviser David Plouffe.

Romney planned to spend the weekend in Florida, continuing intensive preparation that has con-sumed large amounts of his time in

recent weeks.Foreign policy has surfaced as

a prominent issue in the waning weeks of the race, elevated by a deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and a restive situation in Syria. Although polls show voters continue to prioritize economic issues, both candidates are aggressively pitching them-selves as more competent to be commander in chief.

In an unusually quiet day on the campaign trail, Romney running mate Paul Ryan was the only can-didate to be out in front of voters. The Wisconsin congressman plans two events Sunday in Iowa, includ-ing one in Sioux City with country singer Mark Wills, plus an evening rally in Colorado.

Still, with a tight race closing in, neither Romney nor Obama can

afford more than a few days away from the handful of states that will decide the winner.

Obama planned a whirlwind ex-cursion starting after Monday’s de-bate. Events Tuesday in Florida and Ohio will be followed by around-the-clock campaigning Wednesday in Davenport, Iowa; Denver; Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Then on to Tampa, Fla.; Richmond, Va.; and Cleveland on Thursday, when Obama will also return home to Chicago to vote early as part of the campaign’s push for early and absentee voting.

In a sign that the candidates’ time has become the most precious commodity, Obama’s aides said he planned to sleep Wednesday night aboard Air Force One and would call undecided voters from the airplane between stops.

AMMAN — An explosion hit the Old City of Damascus on Sunday, killing at least 10 people and wounding dozens of other civilians, Syrian activists said. It came as President Bashar Assad discussed the civil war in his country with visiting U.N. peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi.

The blast targeted a police station in the Bab Touma neighborhood, a Syrian official said, insisting on anonymity because he is not allowed to make press statements.

Bab Touma, a popular attraction for shoppers, is inhabited mostly by members of Syria’s Christian minority.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported the death toll. It said it was not immediately clear if the victims were civilians or policemen. But it described the blast as “strong” and said ambulances and police cars were rushing to the area.

No other details were immediately available.Brahimi, who represents the U.N. and the Arab League, met with Assad

in another part of the capital. Brahimi has appealed for a truce between Assad’s forces and rebels for the four-day Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, which begins Oct. 26.

Brahimi arrived in Damascus Friday after a tour of Middle East capitals to drum up support for the cease-fire, which he hopes will pave the way for a longer-term truce.

A range of countries including Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Germany have thrown their support behind the idea, but neither the Syrian government nor the rebels have signed on.

Brahimi met Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem on Saturday. A For-eign Ministry statement released after the meeting did not mention the proposed truce, but said the two men discussed “objective and rational circumstances to stop the violence from any side in order to prepare for a comprehensive dialogue among the Syrians.”

Syrian government forces and rebels have both agreed to and then promptly violated internationally brokered cease-fires in the past, and there is little indication that either is willing to stop fighting now.

“As a big city, as well as the nation`s capital, Jakarta badly need a mass transport system,” Armida said during a working visit here on Sunday.

Armida, who is also the National Development Planning Board (Bap-penas) head, said mass transport development in Jakarta was very es-sential to serve as the motor for social and economic growth in the region, supported by the growing national economy and development.

In the working visit the Bappenas Head and the Indonesian envoy came to see the control center of Beijing transportation network which is used to monitor 13 subway tracks. The local Administration planned to build 15 of them in the first phase.

The Beijing Administration planned to build 32 subway tracks across the region in two phases.

The first phase consisted of con-struction of 15 subway tracks with a length of 327 km, while in the second phase, 19 subway tracks would not be built until the next year, monitoring officer Ren Qi Chen said.

By comparison to Jakarta, Beijing would have built 32 subway tracks as far as 651 km in 2015, whereas around 7.59 million passengers are using Bei-jing subway service everyday.

Meanwhile, director for Trans-portation Department of Bappenas Bambang Prihartono said Jakarta`s Mass Rapid Transport project had been planned since 1986 and the

Administration did some studies of mass transport means in Jakarta which resulted in the establishment of PT. Mass Rapid Transit Jakarta in June 17 2008.

The Administration claimed that they had conducted some planning on transportation system and network improvement as well as the urban transportation and planned to finish the MRT and monorail projects in 2014 at the latest, Bambang said.

The tender process of the MRT project is under way. The first step of the project would the construc-tion of underground tracks as well as overpass track from Lebak Bulus to Hotel Indonesia traffic circle (Bun-daran HI).

Previously, the Deputy Governor of Jakarta Basuki Tjahaja Purnama met the officials of the Jakarta Trans-portation Office, PT. Adhi Karya, PT. Lembaga Elektronika Nasional PT. Industri Kereta Api and PT. Telkom to discuss the monorail project.

The Deputy Governor confidently said that three years ahead, Jakartans could use the monorail service.

The already installed and ne-glected pillars in some area of Jakarta would be used for the construction of three tracks of monorail which would serve three routes such as Tanah Abang-Palmerah-Mega Kuningan-Senayan; Cawang Atas-Senen-Ancol; and Cawang Atas-Grogol-National Monument.

JAKARTA - South Korean steel giant Posco plans to nearly double its Indonesia investments to $11 billion over five years, the coun-try’s chief economics minister said Friday.

The world’s fourth-largest steel-maker currently has $6 billion invested in Indonesia, which is seeking overseas money to build infrastructure it needs to maintain strong economic growth, which hit 6.5 percent last year.

“Posco will increase its commit-ment up to $11 billion for further development in cold steel, energy and smelters,” Hatta Rajasa told

reporters.Posco has also agreed to invest

in a 600-Megawatt coal-fired power plant in southern Sumatra.

The firm was also interested in a nickel refinery, biofuel, diesel fuel and information technology in Southeast Asia’s most-populous nation, Rajasa said according to state-run news agency Antara.

Once approved, the projects will take five years to build, Rajasa added.

Indonesia is heavily reliant on foreign investment to improve technology and infrastructure as its economy booms. The country aims to make the world’s top 10 economies by 2025.

JAKARTA - More than 1,300 people clashed with security guards at an Indonesian shoe fac-tory which supplies sportswear giants Adidas and Mizuno, police said Thursday, months after they were sacked for striking over better pay.

The workers were laid off in July after walking out over demands for back pay following a hike in the minimum wage at the start of 2012.

Confirming the clashes dur-ing a rally at which the former workers were calling to be re-instated, Wahyu Widodo, police chief of Tangerang, said police were “helping mediate” between protesters and the owners of the Panarub Dwikarya factory.

Indonesia is an increasingly popular destination for major manufacturing companies, lured by cheap labour, but the 240 million-strong nation has wit-nessed frequent bouts of labour

unrest as workers demand better pay and employment rights.

The scuffles in Tangerang, around 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Jakarta, abated when the company agreed to meet protest leaders late Thursday, although hundreds of former workers remained in the factory yard, an AFP reporter at the scene said.

The firm could not immedi-ately be reached for comment.

“The workers want to be hired back, their children’s education is depending on it, and we want the company to sit together with us and work on an agreement,” said Ernawati -- who like many Indonesians goes by one name -- from the Independent Labour Union Alliance, which took part in the rally.

Adidas issued a statement after the July strike urging the factory, which the German com-pany calls an “overflow” facility for its local supplier, to rehire the workers and pay the wages owed, pledging not to make fresh orders

until the dispute is resolved.Adidas was forced to probe

its Indonesian operations in April after a report in a British newspaper alleged nine factories it used to produce Olympic shoes and clothing employed workers on 65-hour weeks for as little as 5,000 rupiah ($0.55) an hour.

Indonesia’s economy grew 6.5 percent in 2011 and attracted record foreign direct investment of $20 billion.

Yet Indonesian factory work-ers remain some of the lowest-paid in Asia, often earning less than their counterparts in China or India.

Hundreds of thousands of factory workers went on strike across Indonesia on October 3 demanding better pay and job security as Southeast Asia’s big-gest economy booms.

In another major strike in Jan-uary, workers in Bekasi blocked a toll road to the capital, leaving trucks and traffic snarled for 10 hours.

Protestors (seen at left) clash with company security personnel who are supported by new employees (R) of the Panarub Dwikarya factory, outside the factory gate in Tangerang west of Jakarta on October 18, 2012. More than 1,300 people clashed with security guards at an Indonesian shoe factory which supplies sportswear giants Adidas and Mizuno, police said on October 18, a few months after they were sacked for striking over better pay.

Clashes hit Indonesian factory used by AdidasOn that occasion was also revealed five investors that wanted

to manage the mangrove forest but only four other investors asked for the management permit at the zone of preservation and conservation so that they were rejected. Only PT TRB proposed the utilization permit on the utilization block so that the permit could be issued after passing through a comprehensive assessment and paying attention to the environmental impact assessment (Amdal).

Formerly, Deputy Governor of Bali, AA Ngurah Puspayoga, rejected the permit and asked to immediately revoke it. “I am forced to disagree with Mr. Governor regarding the leasing of mangrove forest for 55 years. I disagree. I want the mangroves to function as it is. Let us preserve the mangrove forest so that it will not change the function of mangrove forest into tourist ac-commodation,” affirmed Puspayoga.

Similarly, the factions in the Bali House also rejected and re-quested in order the permit of PT TRB to be revoked because the mangrove forest was stronghold of the South Bali from the threat of erosion, tidal waves and tsunamis. Though the utilization was enabled but it was not for establishing the buildings because it potentially harmed the environment. Moreover, the permit was intended for commercial purposes. Issuance of the permit was also considered highly to go up against the Bali Clean and Green program.

Similar rejection also came from Chairman of the Bali House, Cok Ratmadi. Cok Rat said in the near future the House would issue a recommendation for revocation of the permit.

Ratmadi also requested the Governor of Bali to absorb the peo-ple’s aspirations and never impose the will by passing the permit amidst the rejection from the community. “All leaderships of the House rejected the permit so that it should be revoked. Governor may not obtrude. If the community’s aspiration wants to revoke the permit, simply revoke it. It is okay and not a problem to revoke a permit. Do not be forced,” he affirmed. (kmb29)

CERNOBBIO - Prime Minis-ter Mario Monti said on Saturday he expected it would be only a few more months before signs of recovery start to emerge in the recession-hit Italian economy.

Addressing an agriculture conference in northern Italy, Monti spoke of “a few months, just a few months I hope that we have left before we start seeing clear signs of recovery.”

Italy has been in a recession since the middle of last year, weighed down by austerity mea-sures passed by Monti’s govern-ment to cut the country’s massive debt, including tax hikes, spend-ing cuts and a pension overhaul.

Unemployment has risen to its highest since monthly records be-gan in 2004 and unions are locked in growing disputes with companies over plant closures and layoffs.

Monti defended the austerity measures, and said he believed his government would be remem-bered for having helped Italy pull

itself out of a deep economic crisis without needing to resort to external aid.

“I hope that one day we can say that thanks to us Italy was not colonized by Europe and it maintained its own dignified sovereignty in an increasingly integrated Europe,” he said.

Monti said an agreement by EU leaders at a Brussels summit this week to allow the European Central Bank to supervise banks from next year would also help speed up the resolution of the euro zone crisis.

The European Commission has proposed making the ECB responsible for supervision as a step towards a banking union in which euro zone countries and any others that want to join would together resolve problem banks and protect savers’ deposits.

“This is another step to accelerate the end of the crisis and to strengthen European governance through a more efficient supervision of bank-ing activities aimed at avoiding contagion risks,” Monti said.

MAGAZINE ad revenue is seen rising 2.6 percent this year to $18.3 billion, according to research firm eMarketer. That would be the third increase in three years, driven mainly by gains in digital ad sales, though print ads are expected to be flat.

Paid magazine subscriptions were up 1.1 percent in the first half of the year, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. And while single-copy sales at newsstands are down 9.6 percent, overall cir-culation - the bulk of which is in print - is steady compared with a year ago.

The water is so warm for the magazine industry that in the first nine months of the year, 181 new

magazines were launched while only about a third as many, or 61, closed, according to publication database MediaFinder.com.

By several measures, the maga-zine business has stabilized, albeit at a lower level, since the Great Recession ended three years ago.

Newsweek is using a difficult print ad environment as an “excuse” for its decision to end print runs, said Samir Husni, director of the Magazine Innovation Center at the University of Mississippi School of Journalism.

He lays the blame at the feet of Tina Brown, the editor who took control of Newsweek when it merged with the news website she ran, The Daily Beast, two years ago.

“Tina Brown took Newsweek in the wrong direction,” Husni said. “Newsweek did not die, Newsweek committed suicide.”

To be sure, the problems were acute by the time Brown took con-trol. Newsweek’s circulation had plummeted from about 3.1 million in 2007 to 1.8 million in 2010, when

The Washington Post Co. sold the magazine to stereo equipment mag-nate Sidney Harman for $1. Harman later placed Newsweek into a joint venture with IAC/InterActiveCorp’s The Daily Beast website in an effort to trim the magazine’s losses and widen its online audience.

Going all-digital could solve many problems associated with the print magazine business. For instance, magazine publishers charge advertisers according to a so-called “rate card” that is based on a promised number of paying subscribers, called a “rate base.” If subscriptions fall, publishers then must spend a lot of money mailing potential customers and offering heavy discounts just to keep advertising revenue from falling.

Moving online could solve that problem, which hit Newsweek in particular, said Tom Rosenstiel, di-rector of the Project for Excellence in Journalism at the Pew Research Center in Washington.

However, it’s a choice that doesn’t reflect the general health

of the industry, said Mary Berner, president of The Association of Magazine Media.

She said she doesn’t want a de-

cision by one publication to be an indication that the entire magazine industry “is going down the toilet.” (Associated Press)

The cost of inaction could be high. The World Bank says without change, annual growth could sink to 5 percent by 2015 — dangerously low by Chinese standards. Some private sector analysts give even gloomier warnings.

The government’s own advisers say it needs to promote service indus-tries and consumer spending, shifting away from reliance on exports and investment. That will require opening more industries to entrepreneurs and forcing cosseted state companies to compete. State banks would have to lend more to private business that is starved for credit.

The ruling party’s latest five-year

development plan promises reforms in broad terms. Premier Wen Jiabao apologized at a news conference in March for not moving fast enough and vowed quicker action. But many changes could face opposi-tion from China’s most influential factions — state companies, their allies in the party, bureaucrats and local leaders.

“If the challenge is, can they do radical reform all at once, we know that won’t happen because these leaders aren’t powerful enough,” said Scott Kennedy, director of In-diana University’s Research Center for Chinese Politics & Business in Beijing. “They are facing interests

which wouldn’t possibly allow that to occur.”

Also at issue is how much Com-munist Party leaders are willing to cut back state industry that provides jobs and money to underpin the party’s monopoly on power.

Li Keqiang is the man in line to lead reforms as the next premier, China’s top economic official. Now a vice premier, Li is seen as a politi-cal insider with an easygoing style, not a hard-driving reformer. Along with the rest of the party’s Standing Committee, the ruling inner circle due to be installed in November, Li will govern by consensus, which could blunt their force.

The man in line to become Com-munist Party leader and China’s president, Xi Jinping, has a similar reputation for successful inaction.

The next leadership will inherit one of the world’s strongest econo-mies but one in which advocates say reform is stalled.

BEIJING — China’s economic model that delivered three decades of double-digit growth is running out of steam and the country’s next leaders face tough choices to keep incomes rising. But they don’t seem to have ambitious solutions. Even if they do, they will need to tackle entrenched interests with backing high in the Communist Party.

DENPASAR - The United States warship, USS Green Bay (LPD-20), is making a four-day stop in Bali as part of its sailing mission in the South East Asian region.

“We are here from Thursday to Sunday (Oct.18-21) after visiting Hawaii and Timor Leste,” the ship’s field commander, Lt. Robinson, said.

The heavy equipment transport ship conducted its sailing mission from its home base in San Diego, California.

The warship weighing 28,000 tons with 208.5 meters long and 39 meters wide also carried tanks, and 1,000 Navy personnel, he said.

“This ship never takes part in a war but in exercises instead such as the combat equipment landing in several parts of the world,” Robinson said.

Meanwhile, the ship’s captain Col.Putnam Browne said that the warship was making a stop in Bali at the request of the ship’s personnel.

The United States warship, USS Green Bay (LPD-20), is making a four-day stop here as part of its sailing mission in the South East Asian region.

It was revealed by the Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Busi-ness (FEB) of Undiknas, Prof. Dr. IB Raka Suardana, in Denpasar.

He said the revenue-sharing in Law No. 33/2004 was the fund coming from the state budget revenues allocated for the regions based on a percentage to fund the needs of region in the context of decentralization. However, the law contained a substantial weak-ness in terms of natural resources revenue-sharing, where natural resources was only viewed from the perspective of mineral resources, particularly mining.

“It shows a subjective and non-holistic point of view. So far, the tourism posing a potential natural resource on earth has factually been able to generate consider-able foreign exchanges beyond the oil and gas sector but was apparently not included in the law,” he said.

According to him, if tourism could not be included in the natu-ral resources, in the revision draft should be added with the service

sector (not only natural resources). Therefore, tourism was also in-cluded in the service sector. The service sector could be composed of sub-sectors of tourism services, air-port services and seaport services. Revenue sharing obtained from the service sector might be derived from the acquisition of Visa on Ar-rival (VoA), airport tax and services in the sea port.

“Revenue of the VoA is halved, 50 percent for the government and 50 percent for the region. Mean-while, in the region it is further di-vided into 10 per cent for the prov-ince and the remaining 40 percent is evenly divided for all regencies and municipality,” he suggested.

Meanwhile, the revenue of the airport tax and other services existing at the airport, Raka Su-ardana proposed it to be divided into 80 percent for the operating company and 20 percent for the re-gion. In the region, the percentage was divided again into 10 percent for the province and another 10 percent for the producing regency/municipality.

“Revenue of the sea port ser-vices should be divided with the composition of 80 percent for the operating company and 20 percent for the region. Portion of the region

is subdivided where the province gets 10 percent and another 10 per-cent for the producing regency or municipality,” said Raka Suardana while adding that such proposal had

been submitted to the Committee IV of the Regional Representatives of the RI, chiefly to the Revenue Shar-ing Special Committee (DBH) in a national seminar. (kmb27)

The Libyan government said Saturday its forces had detained Gadhafi’s high profile spokesman Moussa Ibrahim, but an online re-cording from a man purporting to be Ibrahim denied that claim and said he wasn’t even in the country.

The conflicting reports, neither of which could be independently verified, reflect the turmoil that has persisted over the past year, leaving the oil-rich North African nation deeply divided. Tensions have spiked as rival forces battle over the city of Bani Walid.

Bani Walid, some 140 kilometers (90 miles) southeast of Tripoli, was the last major city in Libya to fall to the uprising, thanks in part to its protected location in a valley near the mountains. Over the past year, it has seen periodic violence and emerged as the most significant town in Libya still resisting the country’s new authorities since Gadhafi was slain near his home-town of Sirte last year.

“We’ve lost too many people in Bani Walid and we are still losing them so I don’t think it’s time for a celebration,” said Abdessalem

Mahfoud, a local neighborhood council member in Tripoli, when asked about the anniversary of Gadhafi’s death.

The turmoil in Libya, which overthrew Gadhafi last year with the help of NATO airstrikes, has become a campaign issue in the U.S. presidential race after an attack on the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi killed Ambassa-dor Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

For many who fought against Gadhafi, the new Libya cannot be born until the last vestiges of the old regime, fugitives like Ibrahim and towns like Bani Walid, have been routed.

A statement from the prime minister office said that Ibrahim was caught at a checkpoint outside Bani Walid while trying to flee a recent uptick in fighting over the town and would be taken to Tripoli for questioning.

However, the government pro-duced no proof of its claim and hours later, Ibrahim had not been seen in public. State television did briefly show a photograph of a man

in a hospital bed with a bandaged shoulder which they labeled as the former spokesman, but the verac-ity of the photo could also not be confirmed.

The urbane, English-speaking Ibrahim became the face of the regime in its final months and was

the most well-known former regime figure to remain unaccounted for af-ter Gadhafi’s son and heir-apparent Seif al-Islam was taken late last year. The regime’s former intel-ligence chief Abdullah al-Senoussi was later detained in Mauritania and extradited to Libya.

In the year since Gadhafi’s death, conflicts have broken out around the country, and despite the unprec-edented election of a 200-person national assembly, the central gov-ernment is weak and power remains with the armed groups that sprung up with the rebellion.

VATICAN CITY ? Pope Benedict XVI is adding seven more saints onto the roster of Catholic role models as he tries to rekindle the faith in places where it’s lagging. Two of them are Americans: Ka-teri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint from the U.S. and Mother Marianne Cope, a 19th century Franciscan nun who cared for lepers in Hawaii.

A third is a rather unlikely saint, Pedro Calungsod, a Filipino teenager who helped Jesuit priests convert natives in Guam in the 17th century but was killed by spear-wielding villagers opposed to the mission-aries’ efforts to baptize their children.

The ceremony Sunday in St. Peter’s Square has drawn pilgrims from around the world to Rome and coincides with a Vatican meeting of the world’s bish-ops on trying to revive Christianity in places where it’s fallen by the wayside. Several of the new saints were mis-sionaries, making clear the pope hopes their ex-ample will be relevant today as the Catholic Church tries to hold

onto its faithful in the face of competition from evangelical churches in Africa and Latin America, increasing secularization in the West and disenchantment with the church over the clerical sex abuse scandal in Europe and beyond.

The two Americans actually hail from roughly the same place ? what is today upstate New York ? although they lived two centuries apart.

Known as the “Lily of the Mohawks,” Kateri was born in 1656 to a pagan Iroquois father and an Algonquin Christian mother. Her parents and only brother died when she was 4 during a smallpox epidemic that left her badly scarred and with impaired eyesight. She went to live with her uncle, a Mohawk, and was baptized Catholic by Jesuit missionaries. But she was ostracized and persecuted by other natives for her faith, and she died in what is now Canada when she was 24.

Cope is revered among many Catho-lics in Hawaii, where she arrived from New York in 1883 to care for lepers on Kalaupapa, an isolated peninsula on Molokai Island where Hawaii governments forcibly exiled leprosy

patients for decades. At the time, there was widespread fear of the disfiguring disease, which can cause skin lesions, mangled fin-gers and toes and lead to blindness.

Cope, however, led a band of Francis-can nuns to the peninsula to care for the patients, just as Saint Damien, a Belgian priest, did in 1873. He died of the disease 16 years later and was canonized in 2009.

The Vatican’s complicated saint-making procedure requires that the Vati-can certify a “miracle” was performed through the intercession of the candidate ? a medically inexplicable cure that can be directly linked to the prayers offered by the faithful. One miracle is needed for beatification, a second for canonization.

The other new saints are: Jacques Berth-ieu, a 19th century French Jesuit who was killed by rebels in Madagascar, where he had worked as a missionary; Giovanni Battista Piamarta, an Italian who founded a religious order in 1900 and established a Catholic printing and publishing house in his native Brescia; Carmen Salles Y Barangueras, a Spanish nun who founded a religious order to educate children in 1892; and Anna Schaeffer, a 19th century German lay woman who became a model for the sick and suffering after she fell into a boiler and badly burned her legs.

Bangli (Bali Post)-

I Desak PT ANM (55) from Katung Vil-lage, Kintamani, Bangli, became a victim to a robbery last Thursday (18/10) around 11 pm local time. The robbers were later found as I DW GD DN alias DW IRK who is still related to her as second cousin. Robber then hid the IDR 91,000,000 value gold jewelries by burying them in the back garden of victim’s house. Head of Bangli Police Public Relation, APC Ida I Dewa Nyoman Rai, last Saturday (20/10) stated the chronology started by the same day at 6 pm local time where victim and his husband went to a wedding reception then watched joged (dance) entertainment which so vicitm’s house was left with no one in it. Around 10 pm local time, they went back and put their grandchild to sleep. At 10.30 pm local time, noise was heard then it was found the couple’s room was in a mess.

The jewelries taken were 1 (one) gold

chain weighing 40 grams, 1 (one) gold necklace weighing 45 gram, 3 ( three ) gold rings weighing 8 gram, 2 ( two ) gold jewelries with black pearls weighing 5 gram, 1 ( one ) gold konde (for hair) weighing 6 gram, gold earrings called subeng weighing 6 gram, another gold simpler earring weighing 4 gram along with cash as much as IDR 13,000,000.

This was then also reported to the Police and turns out the owner of the phone are I DW GD DN. After interrogated, accused admitted to have done it. The found items then become the evidence was also being investigated further. (kmb17)

Negara (Bali Post)—

Torrential rains hitting Jembrana on Thursday afternoon (Oct 18) caused ava-lanche at a number of points at Bumbungan hamlet, Yehembang village. A timber ware-house was buried by the avalanche and two shrines of local residents were also eroded.

From information compiled last Saturday, the avalanche occurred at four points. The most severe damage occurred to property of a local resident, Agung Made Doster. The courtyard that had been protected with revetment got eroded and buried a neighbor’s timber ware-house. Meanwhile, all the properties such as electronic device were buried in the ground by the avalanche of the 4-meter high revetment. The avalanche caused his courtyard near the re-vetment to disappear, while his kitchen was also at risk of getting eroded. The distance of kitchen to the cliff avalanche was only an inch.

Fortunately, there were no people in the warehouse and yard when the avalanche occurred. Due to such incident, the victim claimed to suffer a loss up to tens of millions of rupiahs. Indeed, he worried to live near the revetment because it was not the first incident. According to him, such incident had happened twice. The land where he stayed was indeed unstable and sloping. Since it was the only land he had, he could not go out, and submit-ted to his fate.

Meanwhile, at the home of Nengah Wintia, two shrines were buried by avalanche from the cliff next to his house. Luckily, the avalanche did not sweep away his house located a few meters from the cliff. With the help of local residents, Wintia looked to clean up the ava-lanche last Saturday. As a matter of fact, he also feared of the incident as happened on Thursday afternoon. Since it was his only home, Wintia admitted not to know what to do. (kmb26)

Gianyar (Bali Post)—

The year 2013 is the one prepared for the library. It is consistent with the results of the national workshop held in Solo some time ago. Until now, not all the elementary schools in Gianyar Regency have had a li-brary. Some elementary schools remain to take advantage of teacher’s room or other room for library.

Division Head of Kindergarten and Elemen-tary School, the Gianyar Education Agency, I Gusti Ngurah Darmawan, said on Wednesday (Oct 10) that until this year there were 77 el-ementary schools that had not owned a library building. Based on existing data, of the 280 el-ementary schools existing in Gianyar Regency, 203 schools had owned a library building up to 2012, he said.

Existence of the school library aimed to increase the student’s interest in reading. In

addition, the library also served as enrichment for the teaching materials for educators and learners. Virtually every elementary school in general had owned a library. However, they had not complied with the existing standards of library.

As the results of the national workshop not long ago, it was mentioned the standard school library should have a minimum area of 56 square meters. For Gianyar Regency, the sub-standard library amounted to 77 units. Those schools were still using particular renovated room. “Land availability also becomes one of the obstacles in the development of school library,” he explained.

He continued that central government was planning to make a light and medium renova-tion to the existing school libraries next year. “Hopefully, the remaining schools that do not have a school library in Gianyar can be real-ized,” he said. (kmb16)

“We call it the Cretaceous acous-tic effect, because ocean acidifica-tion forced by global warming appears to be leading us back to the similar ocean acoustic conditions as those that existed 110 million years ago, during the Age of Dinosaurs,” David G. Browning, an acoustician at the University of Rhode Island, said in a statement.

Oceans tend to become more acidic when carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere rise. That’s be-cause a portion of that greenhouse gas enters the oceans, where it dissolves, and due to chemical

reactions, makes the waters more acidic. Previous studies on seafloor sediments have allowed scientists to reconstruct ocean acidity for the past 300 million years, showing that there had been previous spikes and dips in acid levels.

But these sediments also allow scientists to reconstruct sound-scapes. The level of low-frequency sound absorption is, in part, de-pendent on pH levels (lower pH means more acidity), meaning this geological record can also be used to estimate sound transmission in the ocean during long-gone eras.

(Lower pH levels mean lower sound absorption and better sound transmission.)

Browning and his colleagues pre-dicted today’s oceans have similar low-frequency sound transmission as they did about 300 million years ago, during the Paleozoic Era. But the oceans are becoming more and more acidic — faster than they have in the past 300 million years, ac-cording to recent estimates — put-ting underwater acoustic conditions on a fast track to the soundscape of 110 million years ago when seas were much more acidic.

Director Edgar Wright, known for movies such as “Shaun of the Dead,” announced earlier this week he would be making a movie about Ant-Man, a comic superhero who can shrink to the size of an ant and communicate with his formic brethren, according to the news site Grantland. If it’s anything like the comic, it will also feature ants as big as humans, which got us thinking: Could ants be as big as people? And why aren’t insects bigger than they are?

The short answer is, researchers don’t know exactly, although there are several hypotheses as to why insects and other arthropods don’t get bigger, said insect physiologist Jon Harrison, at Arizona State University in Tempe.

The first hypothesis is that insects’ exoskeletons may not be strong enough to allow them to get much bigger — that they’d have to become impossibly thick. Harrison learned this theory as an established fact during his training, but little experimental evidence to support the idea exists, he said. The only study to look at this question found that larger arthropods don’t have thicker exoskel-etons, he said. “So there’s no direct evidence for this,” he said.

Too tasty

Because exoskeletons are rigid, insects need to molt as they grow, shedding the old skin and growing a new one. Scientists have suggested this vulnerable time puts a ceiling on size: Larger animals, particularly those without protective skeletons, would make for more attractive meals to a predator. “The bigger you get, the more of a tasty vulnerable package you are,” goes the thinking, Harrison said.

A related theory suggests being larger makes you a more at-tractive meal, whether molting or not. One study found that the size of ancient flies declined as birds evolved, suggesting smaller creatures were better able to avoid hungry raptors and pass on their genes.

Another possibility: Insects have open circulatory systems, where blood and bodily fluids aren’t bound up in vessels, as is the case with most vertebrates. This makes it more difficult to move blood throughout a large body, as circulation would be hampered by gravity, which pulls blood downward.

NEW YORK - Boys in the United States may be entering puberty earlier than in genera-tions past, a new study has found, suggesting it’s not just girls who are developing at younger ages.

In comparisons with decades-old data, boys who were seen for well-child visits between 2005 and 2010 were maturing six months to two years sooner, based on their genital develop-ment.

The finding is significant for researchers seeking to understand why the age of puberty may be

As oceans become more acidic, researchers predict they will carry sound as they did during the Age of the Dinosaurs. Some 110 million years ago, sound is believed to have traveled up to twice as fast through the seas as it does now.

Oceans in 2100 May ‘Sound’ Like Dinosaur-Era Seas

Scuba divers in the year 2100 might hear what the dinosaurs did, new research suggests. Rising acidity in the oceans could set underwater acoustic conditions back to the Cretaceous period, scientists say, allowing some low-frequency sounds like whale songs to travel perhaps twice as far as they do now.

Like girls, U.S. boys may be hitting puberty earlier

creeping down.The discovery is also impor-

tant for parents, who have to know how and when to discuss changing bodies with their chil-dren, according to the lead author of the study published online Sat-urday by the journal Pediatrics.

“They need to talk to their boys earlier than they would have thought about puberty and sexual development and all of those related issues,” said Marcia Herman-Giddens at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Recent studies from the Unit-ed States and elsewhere have

shown that girls are maturing at a younger age, with many start-ing to develop breasts as early as age 7 or 8.

Doctors haven’t necessarily thought the same early puberty trend applied to boys. Some doc-tors blame estrogen-like chemi-cals in the environment for girls’ earlier development. Those same chemicals would be expected to delay sexual maturation in boys.

But even if boys are devel-oping earlier than in the past, that doesn’t mean they are more mature socially and psychologi-cally at younger ages, researchers said.

The Tanah Lot 3 Days Event is ready to be held. The Regent of Ta-banan, Ni Putu Eka Wiryastuti, will open the traditional cultural event on Thursday, November 1, 2012 and last for three days. “Other than preserving the arts existing in Tabanan, this event is also meant to explore the potential and give a space to younger generation to develop their art creativity,” said Operations Manager of the Tanah Lot Destination, I Ketut Toya Adnyana.

Various kinds of art will be performed, starting from the appearance of Kid Gong Kebyar, Women Kebyar Gong, Barong Dance in combination with Tektekan, Creative Dance, Slonding to Ramayana Ballet. Competi-tive products of food industry, craft and design will also be exhibited. Similarly, it will be graced with a photo exhibition, documentation of Tanah Lot destination and painting exhibition.

For the handicraft exhibition, the committee would feature the typical handicrafts of Tanah Lot namely the ‘coconut fiber monkey statue.’ In the past, the statue always embellished the tourist destination, but had disappeared for lacking of regeneration. Now, it would be introduced back. “With the involvement of the community, it is expected to give birth to young generation with outstanding achievement,” said this former tourist guide.

Especially for the exhibition of the agricultural products existing in Tabanan, his party made collaboration with the Industry and Coopera-tives Agency, in addition to involving local community. Type of the craft products exhibited consisted of sarong, fabrics and distinctive headband of Pandak village. In addition, there would be a culinary exhibition featuring the rice bag served with peanut sauce and assorted vegetables, manila duck lawar, rice with roasted suckling pig, seafood satay and others.

When met in his workplace, he said the committee would present Barong Dance for three days in succession. The time chosen to present of this classic dance would be in the afternoon. “We want to revive the art of barong performance in Tabanan. In addition, it also poses the preparation for the launching of Barong Dance at Tanah Lot,” he explained.

The art of barong would be presented by the artists and scheduled to be performed every day from 10:00 a.m. With the cultural richness of clas-sical art owned by Tabanan, his party had confidence if the event would draw many visitors. Moreover, domestic tourists coming from Java Island had made stopover as well as taken a rest and shower at the destination from 06:00 a.m. “By all means, this performing art will become the first presentation to see,” he said.

Meanwhile, in the afternoon before the sunset, his party would present the charming art of Cak. Tabanan had tektekan, okokan and the other arts that would also be prepared to become a regular performance. “We will attempt to find out a chance to present the unique art of Tabanan. Addi-tion of the other art performances is also necessary so that it will get rid of the impression of monotone,” he said. (BTN/015)

“In the past five years, the number of passengers of cabin cruisers visiting the country has increased significantly,” Rizki Handayani, the ministry’s direc-tor for promotion, convention, incentive and event, said.

In 2008, the number of pas-sengers of tourist boats visiting Indonesia was recorded at 21,616 , up to 68,566 in 2009 and to 112,882 in 2011. In the first half of 2012, the number already reached 114,000 tourists.

“In 2013, we set the target for the visitors coming with tourists boats at 160,000,” Rizki said here on Saturday.

He said the number of pleasure trips by cabin cruisers to the coun-try grew from 36 in 2008 to 135 in

2009 and to 176 trips in 2011. In 2012, the number is expect-

ed to rise to 214 trips, he said, adding, “in 2013, we hope the number would reach 300 trips.”

The government, therefore, plans to continue development of supporting facilities in the ports of tourist destination areas such as Benoa, Belawan, Tanjung Perak, Semarang and Kumai, he said. “Currently the government is expanding ports and modern-izing facilities to improve servic-es in Benoa, Tanjung Perak and Celukan Bawang in the regency of Buleleng,” he said.

The government and state port operator PT Pelindo III are build-ing new piers in Probolinggo and Komodo of East Nusa Tenggara.

“The government in cooperat-ing with Bounty Cruise plans to build a cruiser pier at the Seng-gigi beach of the Nara bay of Lombok,” he added.

Pelindo III general manager Iwan Sabatini said the company has dredged the eastern part of the Senggigi port basin.

“We are dredging the eastern part of the port basin as more tourist boats are expected to call at the port,” Iwan said.

He said cruiser cabins are ex-pected to make up to 40 trips to Lombok to call at the Senggigi port this year.

“Increase has also been re-corded in the visits of tourist boats at the Benoa port from 35 trips in 2011, he said.

EvEry Temple and Shrine has a special date for it annual Ceremony, or “ Odalan “, every 210 days according to Balinese calendar, including the smaller ancestral shrine which each family possesses. Because of this practically every few days a ceremony of festival of some kind takes place in some Village in Bali. There are also times when the entire island celebrated the same Holiday, such as at Galungan, Kuningan, Nyepi day, Saraswati day, Tumpek Landep day, Pagerwesi day, Tumpek Wayang day etc.

The dedication or inauguration day of a Temple is con-sidered its birth day and celebration always takes place on the same day if the wuku or 210 day calendar is used. When new moon is used then the celebration always happens on new moon or full moon. The day of course can differ the religious celebration of a temple lasts at least one full day with some temple celebrating for three days while the celebration of Besakih temple, the Mother Temple, is never less than 7 days and most of the time it lasts for 11 days, depending on the importance of the occasion.

The celebration is very colorful. The shrine are dressed with pieces of cloths and sometimes with brocade, sailings, decorations of carved wood and sometimes painted with gold and Chinese coins, very beautifully arranged, are hung in the four corners of the shrine. In front of shrine are placed red, white or black umbrellas depending which Gods are worshipped in the shrines.

In front of important shrine one sees, besides these umbrellas soars, tridents and other weapons, the “umbul-umbul”, long flags, all these are prerogatives or attributes of Holiness.

Celebrating Bali’s role modelsIBP

JIMBArAN - On Saturday, 6th October, special guests at Dava restaurant celebrated the hard-earned success of twelve local women who have overcome social and economic obstacles to forge secure employment futures.

Chief of the Pasar Agung, Nyoman Suwarta, said that gov-ernment should strictly enforce the regulations to address the proliferation of modern market (stores) and privately managed markets. It had something to do with the zones and distance of traditional markets to modern stores and the privately man-aged markets.

“There should be a zone for modern market. Likewise, the distance of modern market to traditional market should be regulated. Modern market with a larger network will surely affect the selling price of the products,” said Nyoman Su-

warta, Friday (Oct 19).He said that modern stores

had flexibility in paying the goods (products) to suppliers. By and large, they made pay-ment to suppliers within 1 to 2-week after receiving them. Meanwhile, traders in tradi-tional markets paid when the goods were received (cash and carry).

“These conditions also make traders in traditional markets overwhelmed in terms of capi-tal side. Meanwhile, modern stores have larger capital, wider networks and have facility of postdated payment,” he said.

On the other hand, traders in

traditional markets were also difficult to obtain additional capitals. For example, when traders filed an additional bank capital, the bank considered the business run by the traders non-bankable.

“Besides, the bank admin-istration always entails a col-lateral requirement for each loan borrower. By all means, such requirement makes dif-ficult for traders to develop,” he exclaimed.

Suwarta expected the local government could find out a solution for traders who were incidentally local business-men. For instance, it could be

undertaken by issuance of non-collateral loan for traders in traditional markets aside from improving the management of traders.

“So far, some banks have pro-vided loan to traders. However, the usage is not monitored by the bank concerned. As a result, the loan issued was not fully taken advantage to develop their trad-ing business,” he said.

According to him, the loan was occasionally used for con-sumption. To that end, it was required supervision against the use of loan, mainly for the non-collateral loan for these traders. (kmb27)

A week is a long time in showbiz — and in our hyper-speed online age three and a half years is an eternity — but Boyle is still going strong. She has sold millions of records, received an honorary doctorate, sung for Pope Benedict XVI and performed in Las Vegas. A stage musical about her life has played to enthusiastic crowds across Britain and is headed for Australia, and next month she releases her fourth album, “Standing Ovation.”

But the 51-year-old singer who entered the TV talent contest to make her late mother proud is remarkably un-changed. She’s still a bit frumpy, though she’s acquired a new hairdo, more expensive clothes and a makeover. She still lives in her down-at-heel home town, has outbursts of anger and struggles to overcome her nerves before live performances.

It’s a fairy tale, yes, but with dark shadows lurking in the corners. “People can’t accept that you can dream a dream, but part of the dream is also a nightmare,” said Elaine C. Smith, a Scottish actress who knows Boyle and plays her in the biographical stage show “I Dreamed a Dream.”

“Fairy dust comes out, but shrapnel comes out as well.” Boyle now has a car and chauffeur to take her to appoint-ments, but she sticks close to familiar places and routines. She has bought a new house, a modern four-bedroom two-story in Blackburn that cost 300,000 pounds ($480,000), but locals say she often stays in the modest row house she grew up in.

And she still shows up occasionally to sing karaoke at The Crown pub. “She belts them out like she used to and is not averse to a duet,” said 20-year-old local Helen Cameron. “It’s nice that this has not changed her. I think she’s under a lot of pressure normally. Here she can be herself.”

LUXEMBOURG — Under a canopy of soldiers’ drawn swords as church bells tolled, Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg and Belgian Countess Stephanie de Lannoy emerged smiling Saturday from the tiny duchy’s Notre Dame Cathedral after wrapping up a two-day wedding gala with a religious ceremony.

Onlookers and well-wishers lined the super-scrubbed streets near the cathedral and roared with joy as the newlyweds looked down from a red velvet-covered palace balcony, and haltingly — but deeply — kissed for the crowd.

The church wedding of Prince Guillaume — the 30-year-old heir to the throne and Luxembourg’s grand duke-to-be — and the Bel-gian countess drew top-drawer guest list. It came a day after a civil ceremony at Luxembourg City Hall.

The bearded groom and his 28-year-old blonde bride were trailed by a procession of well-known roy-als, including Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden, Prince Naruhito of Japan, and Britain’s Prince Edward — Queen Eliza-beth’s youngest child — and his

wife, Sophie.Stephanie plans to renounce her

Belgian citizenship in order to — one day — become Luxembourg’s grand duchess. The tiny country wedged between France, Belgium and Germany is an important financial center and continues to prosper despite Europe’s economic trouble.

Stephanie wore a lace Elie Saab dress with a 5-meter-long wed-ding train during the ceremony, which was conducted in a mixture of French, German and Luxem-bourgish. It began with a minute’s silence to honor her late mother, Countess Alix de Lannoy.

For the wedding banquet attend-ed by 800 people, Bocuse d’Or-winning chef Lea Linster — herself from Luxembourg — whipped up a buffet medley including Riesling-marinated pork and veal pate, lobster in gelee consomme, and sea bass in salted crust and thyme stuff-ing; dessert included Madeleine cakes, choux a la creme pastries, and creme brulee.

Later in the evening, the royal couple walked through town, shak-ing hands with well-wishers before a fireworks show. Afterward, they drove off in a limousine with a sign on the back that read “Just Mar-ried” in Luxembourgish.

LONDON — She dreamed a dream, and it came true. But what happened next for Susan Boyle? The middle-aged church volunteer from a small town in Scotland became an instant global celebrity in 2009 with her heart-stopping rendition of the “Les Miserables” number “I Dreamed a Dream” on a TV talent show.

“Whatever the reason is, the permit will not be revoked because there is no infringement or problem in the permit,” said Ngurah Pemayun accompanied by Spokesperson of Bali Government, Ketut Teneng, the Head of Bali Forestry Agency and the Head of Bali Environ-ment Agency, Friday (Oct 19).

Related to the plan of Bali House to is-sue a recommendation in order the permit of Governor to be revoked, Cok Pemayun said it was just a plan. Even, he challenged those who rejected to point out whether there was an infringement in the permit. “Now, please point out first what is wrong with the issuance of the permit. Is there any infringement? If infringing, we will revoke it. But the permit has been in com-

pliance with the prevailing procedures, so it does not need to be revoked. As long as the infringement cannot be pointed out, the permit will continue,” he said.

Cok Pemayun described the process of issuing the permit for the mangrove forest management on the area of 102.22 hectares at Grand Forest Park (Tahura) had complied with the existing regulations. He said it was indeed allowed to hold an eco-tourism activity in the utilization block of Grand Forest Park. His party would not cover up all the things related to the permit and invited if there were parties who wanted to investigate it. “We will be totally open and nothing will be covered up,” he said.

He explained, in terms of juridical aspect, the regional regulation already allowed the

utilization of mangrove forests and it was only utilization, not ownership. Moreover, it was not a leasing or annexation.

He added that in terms of the au-thority, the Grand Forest Park had 3-dimensional aspects, namely the authority of asset ownership lay in the central government, the authority of management was handed over by central government to governor and the author-ity of implementation was delivered to regency/municipality. “On that account, the government teams up with investor to maintain and preserve the mangroves so that it will be sustainable and improve the effort to reach the Bali Clean and Green,” he said.

DENPASAR - Rejection of the leaderships of Bali House, Deputy Governor, academi-

cian and community leaders against the man-agement (leasing) of mangrove forest seemed

to have not changed the policy of provincial government of Bali. The Head of Bali Agency

for Regional Development (Bappeda), Cok Ngurah Pemayun, stated not to revoke the permit of PT Tirta Rahmat Bahari (TRB)

given the right to manage the mangrove for-est spreading across the area of 102.22 hect-ares for a period of 55 years. Even, the Bali provincial government would continue the

collaboration agreement as it was considered to have no infringement in the permit.
