RICHMOND — “Twelve Years a Slave” actress Lupita Nyong’o is lending her star power to the op-position to a minor league baseball stadium in what was once the center of Richmond’s thriving slave-trading center.

Nyong’o has been posting anti-stadium opinions on social media to her millions of followers, and has personally appealed to Mayor Dwight C. Jones to withdraw support of the stadium that is the center-piece of an economic development project.

“Evidence of America’s slave history simply must be preserved, as the legacy of slavery affects all American people,” she wrote in a letter dated Oct. 19 to Jones.

In response, Jones invited Nyong’o to visit the former capital of the Confederacy to see Shockoe Bottom and plans to preserve its slave-trading past.

“Our plans show where we want to invest in that history and lift that history up for future generations to learn from,” Jones wrote.

The stadium-centered project is proposed for Shockoe Bottom, the city’s oldest neighborhood and once the bustling center of the slave-trade. By some estimates, more 300,000 men, women and children were jailed, bought and sold in the Bottom and shipped throughout the Southern states in the decades leading to the Civil War.

The stadium proposal has un-leashed pent-up frustration among those who believe the city has liter-ally buried that shameful chapter of its history. The area is now home to nightclubs, restaurants, former to-bacco warehouses transformed into townhouses and parking lots.

Nyong’o has a “12 Years a Slave” connection to the neighborhood. The celebrated film depicts the life of Solomon Northrup, who is kidnapped and sold into slavery. He is initially held in a Shockoe Bot-

tom jail where slaves were chained before they were sold to growers in the Deep South.

Nyong’o was recruited for the campaign by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which listed Shockoe Bottom in June as one of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.

“We see Shockoe Bottom as not just a state of Virginia treasure, but a national treasure,” the trust’s presi-dent, Stephanie Meeks, said in an interview Tuesday. The campaign, she said, is part of the trust’s efforts to raise awareness about often-overlooked historic resources related to the experiences of black, Hispanic and other minority Americans.

While she stressed that the trust is not opposed to development, Shockoe Bottom’s history should be acknowledged and recognized.

“Much of what was there has been destroyed and what is there is buried,” Meeks said. “We’d like to have a comprehensive archaeologi-cal exploration of this site.”

Meeks said the trust reached out to “some friends in the film industry” who suggested Nyong’o might be interested in the Shockoe Bottom campaign.

The two wed in late August and have no prob-lem in the PDA department.

Wahlberg recently sat in the room as McCarthy spoke to press for her new SiriusXM radio show “Dirty, Sexy, Funny”.

“We go to each other’s jobs to spend time with each other,” said McCarthy. (Wahlberg shoots the CBS cop drama “Blue Bloods” in New York.)

In between interviews, the two kiss, speak softly to one another or McCarthy sits on his lap. As for her work life, that’s great too, says McCarthy.

“Dirty Sexy Funny” is a brand McCarthy cre-ated to give female comedians “the opportunity to shine.” There’s been a tour, a TV special and now this radio show.

It began as a limited weekly summer run and is now a daily live radio show, airing 10 a.m. to noon EDT. McCarthy, who has made a living off her personality appearing on her own short-lived

VH1 show and as a panelist on “The View” says radio seems to be the right career move for right now.

“I always thought I needed to be in front of the camera but I had no idea of the freedom that I’m allowed with talk radio,” she said.

McCarthy says she’s spent years trying to find the gig best suited to her personality.

“I’ve been in holding deals since I was 23, net-work after network trying to fit me in,” she says. “They’d pay me money to sit and wait for them to write a show and no one could quite figure out how to write a character for me. Because I realized I re-ally liked myself as the best character. That’s why I moved into talk. To be your authentic self today too is so welcomed, I think, by audiences.”

On “Dirty Sexy Funny”, the 41-year-old will conduct interviews and discuss various topics. She also has creative control. “I am the one who is in charge of me,” she says.

Jenny McCarthy brings her personality to radioAssociated Press

NEW YORK — For those who wonder if that so-called “honeymoon period” for a newly married couple is real, look no further than TV-radio personality Jenny McCarthy and actor-singer Donnie Wahlberg.

Key figures include Retno Mar-sudi as foreign minister, Bambang Brodjonegoro as finance minister and Sofyan Djalil as chief eco-nomics minister. It included eight women, a higher number than in the previous cabinet.

The 34-member cabinet is broad-ly split between professionals and party politicians, as Widodo seeks to balance a pledge to pick the best people in their fields with pressure to reward parties who backed him

at July’s election.The team of ministers will be

key in helping Widodo, known as Jokowi, push through much-needed reforms to boost Southeast Asia’s top economy and help the country’s poorest, as he faces stiff opposition in parliament from a coalition that backed his election rival.

The daughter of Megawati Su-karnoputri, the head of Widodo’s party, and other figures close to her were named as ministers,

which will add to concerns the former president may seek to influence policy from outside government.

The announcement was expect-ed as early as Tuesday, a day after Widodo was inaugurated as leader of the world’s third-biggest democ-racy. But he took the unprecedented step of asking the powerful Cor-ruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to vet the candidates.

He was seeking to avoid the mistakes of his predecessor, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, whose gov-ernment was hit by a string of corruption scandals that dented its popularity.

“We wanted the chosen people to be clean so we consulted the KPK,”

Widodo said, as he announced the cabinet.

The agency raised concerns about eight prospective ministers, forcing Widodo -- Indonesia’s first leader from outside the political and military elites -- to scramble to find replacements.

Since the downfall of dictator Suharto in 1998 after three decades in power, it has been common practice in Indonesian politics for prospective leaders to promise cabinet posts to allies in exchange for support.

Widodo, a 53-year-old former furniture exporter, pledged to eschew backroom deal-making in a bid to usher in a clean new form of government after beating

controversial ex-general Prabowo Subianto in the election.

But growing pressure in recent weeks prompted him to make a concession, and he agreed to give out around half the jobs to allies.

Most prominently, Puan Maha-rani, the daughter of Megawati, was named head of one of four powerful “coordinating ministries”, which oversee several other ministries. She is heading the ministry for cul-ture and human development.

A close Megawati confidant, Rini Soemarno, was named state-owned enterprises minister, while another figure close to her, former army chief of staff Ryamizard Ryacudu, was selected as defence minister.

President announced cabinet, including female FMAgence France-Presse

JAKARTA - New Indonesian President Joko Widodo un-veiled his cabinet Sunday, which included the country’s first female foreign minister, after a lengthy delay caused by anti-corruption authorities’ concerns about several candidates.

High volume of waste in harmony with the dense population causes the Tabanan government to think hard in addressing the problem. Other than directly processing the organic and inorganic waste at Mandung landfill, the Tabanan government also forms a community-driven Waste Bank. The Head of the Tabanan Environment Agency, AA Ngu-rah Raka Icwara W, explained that Tabanan currently had 13 units of waste bank.

According to Raka, the task of waste bank was not limited to the processing of waste into fertilizer or sorting organic waste to be processed back but also raising the public awareness for environmental care. He admit-ted that after two years of operation the waste bank in Tabanan did not give a significant ef-fect on the volume of waste sent to landfill. It happened due to lacking for public awareness in sorting the organic and inorganic waste. Yet, according to Raka, sorting the organic and inorganic waste could provide economic benefits to households.

On the other hand, the waste bank in Tabanan was still operated on a small scale. Only one waste bank located in Kediri, namely the Tabanan Serasi Waste Bank, that had already be capable of processing waste in large scale. Manager of the Tabanan Serasi Waste Bank, AA Gede Ngurah Periantara, explained that every day his waste bank was able to manage a ton of unorganic waste. Most of the processed unorganic waste in-cluded plastic bags, bottles of mineral water and bucket. Plastic waste was sorted by color ranging from clear, white, red, yellow, green and black. His party got the raw materials from collectors.

Besides, the Kediri Waste Bank also worked with some schools such as the SMPN 1 Kediri junior high school and SMAN 1 Tabanan high school. He acknowledged that many households were still not becoming the supplier of raw materials to his bank. It happened due to a small number of people in Bali wishing to sort out their waste. “Indeed some households have already wanted to sort out their waste. Surely, we pick up the waste or sometimes they come alone to this waste bank,” he said.

In the purchase of raw materials, contin-ued Periantara, the price was adjusted to the color. Plastic of translucent color was much more expensive than the other colors. The price of translucent plastic was typically around IDR 4,000 per kilogram, while the cheapest was black plastic namely at IDR 1,600 per kilogram. Plastic waste was later cleaned and then chopped into small plastic pieces and put into a sack. After that, this material was sent to Surabaya. “There, it will be processed into plastic granules that can be utilized to produce buckets, plastic bag and others,” explained Periantara. Al-though making money, unfortunately only a few Balinese people that were willing to process the waste.

On that account, the mindset of Balinese people that thought if the waste did not pro-duce anything should be changed gradually. To that end, the Kediri Waste Bank made cooperation with schools so that it could pro-mote the benefits of waste processing since early age. Hopefully, the students could share their knowledge and habits acquired at school to the environment at home. (kmb24)

TABANAN - Vaccination team of the Tabanan Livestock Agency conducted a search in the area of Delod Peken Tabanan after receiving a report of rabies posi-tive dog biting three residents for two consecutive days in the area. As a result of the search, the team could vaccinate 52 dogs that had not been vaccinated previously. It

was revealed by the Division Head of Animal Health, the Tabanan Livestock Agency, Ayu Ratningsih, representing the Head of Tabanan Livestock Agency.

She added that the vaccine for the vaccination was taken from emergency vaccine stock. A 3.5-month-old puppy being positive to rabies, according to Ayu, was taken by the owner from Keram-bitan last August. Allegedly, the

puppy was infected by rabies in the area of Delod Peken. “The ra-bies transmission at Delod Peken was possible to happen because there was a case of rabies posi-tive dog previously,” said Ayu. A selective elimination would be coordinated further when any suspected case of rabies infecting dogs was found.

For prevention of rabies infection in dogs, Tabanan had performed

dog mass vaccination completed last August and could vaccinated 40,500 dogs from an estimation of 45,000 heads. Meanwhile, the re-sults of calculation indicated if the dog population growth in Tabanan increased by 14 percent annually. Thus, though mass vaccination had been done there would be al-ways unvaccinated dogs due to the growth of new dogs.

Besides, public awareness to

vaccinate their dogs on a regular basis was very important especially in 2015 because central government would no longer provide total as-sistance so that the vaccine supply would depend on the budget of each region. In addition to vaccination, the dog also needed impounding or tying because the dog letting go wild potentially interacted with the dogs transmitting rabies virus. (kmb24)

The shelter was quickly con-structed in 1940, after the outbreak of World War II, in what had once been the wine cellar of a noble family who lived there before Mus-solini took up residence during his Fascist rule.

Visitors at a preview Saturday saw the iron-rung ladder used for emergency exits and a rusting contraption to purify air in case of a gas attack. A label on the appara-tus was dated November 1940 in Roman numerals, in keeping with Mussolini’s style of evoking the ancient Roman empire’s glory days as inspiration for his own rule.

The tours, which will run on weekends starting Oct. 31, will also take visitors to see a separate underground bunker that was later built for Mussolini directly under the villa.

Mussolini had the bunker made by encapsulating the 19th-century villa’s underground kitchen area in reinforced concrete. Before that, the Mussolini family would have had to dash across the villa’s sprawling lawn and gardens to reach the wine-cellar shelter in a separate structure if air raid sirens sounded.

Work began in 1942 to expand

and fortify the bunker. Archaeolo-gist Giuseppe Granata said Mus-solini had lamented in writing that the updated bunker was running behind schedule and over cost. It is not known if the dictator ever used the bunker. By the time Allied bombings hit Rome, the dictator had been deposed and, under Nazi protection, was leading a puppet state in northern Italy. In 1945, partisans captured and executed him.

Today, Villa Torlonia is a pine-and-palm-studded park where Ro-mans jog, stroll, play soccer or dine at an outdoor restaurant.

NEW YORK — The Brooklyn Museum plans an exhibition on graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat that includes eight rarely seen note-books filled with his handwritten texts and sketches.

“Basquiat: The Unknown Note-books” will run at the Brooklyn Museum from April 3 through Aug. 23.

It’ll feature 160 unbound note-book pages and 30 related paintings, drawings and mixed media works.

The material comes from private collections and the Brooklyn-born artist’s estate.

Basquiat had his start on the streets of New York. His first public exhibition was in 1980. One of his paintings sold at auction for $23.7 million last year.

The notebooks come from the collection of Larry Warsh. He previously served as a member of the Basquiat authentication com-mittee.

Basquiat died in 1988 of a drug overdose at age 27.

ROME - Italy will open Emperor Nero’s Golden House to the public for the first time since 2005, but only on weekends to allow resto-ration works to continue, Rome’s archaeological superintendent said Friday.

“We have spent 12 million eu-ros ($15.2 million) over the past four years to restore the site and have decided to reopen the Domus Aurea, but as a work in progress,” Mariarosaria Barbera told journal-ists in the Italian capital.

From Sunday, visitors can book guided tours for up to 25 people at a time to be shown around the lavish complex by archaeologists and art

historians.The palace, which lies on a hill

overlooking the Colosseum, was built by Nero after the great fire of Rome in 64 AD razed aristocratic dwellings in the area. It featured groves of fruit trees, vineyards and an artificial lake.

Designed as a party villa rather than a home -- with 300 rooms but no sleeping quarters -- its walls were covered with extensive gold leaf, semi-precious stones and ivo-ry, as well as colourful frescoes.

Italy’s culture ministry appealed in June for sponsors to help find 31 billion euros to help restore the 16,000 square metre (170,000 square foot) complex, which lies under-ground today, to its former glory.

DENPASAR - Ceramic ex-ports in Bali increased by 38.80 percent in the January-August period to US$1.03 million from US$744.11 thousand in the same period last year.

A year-on-year comparison revealed that the ceramic exports rose by 35.81 percent in volume to 298,485 units in the first eight months of the year from 219,776 units, Chief of the Central Statistics Office (BPS) in Bali, Panasunan Siregar said on Saturday.

Singapore led the market for Ba-linese ceramics, having purchased 61.92 percent of the overall exports. It was followed by the U.S. (10.81 percent), Australia (4.22 percent), Spain (3.10 percent), Britain (1.95 percent), Japan (1.82 percent), Italy (1.09 percent), Hong Kong (0.48 percent), and France (0.88 percent).

Ceramic products are one of the 17 types of commodities produced by household industries in the province.

The Balinese ceramic handicraft industry witnessed its golden era in the 1990s, owing to the technology invented by Anak Agung Ngurah Oka, who is currently a lecturer at the School of Arts and Design at Udayana University in Bali.

Balinese ceramics are a combi-nation of various elements of art that attract foreign customers.

DENPASAR - The Bali Police named two more suspects in the case of the murder of 60-year old British national, Robert Kevin Ellis.

“We have named two more suspects. Both were the victim’s housemaids,” spokesman for the Bali provincial police, Snr. Comsr. Herry Wiyanto said.

The two housemaids, who were witnesses in the case earlier, were identified by their initials as F and Y, he added.

Wiyanto further stated that sus-pect F was allegedly given the task of guarding the victim’s dog from thwarting the murder, while sus-pect Y was assigned with the task of cleaning the scene of the crime of blood.

So far, four suspects have been

named in the case. The other two suspects were identified by their initials as JNA and AR.

Moreover, the police believe that the victim’s wife, 45-year old JNA, was the mastermind behind the murder.

AR was arrested at Padangbai port in Karangasem district as they believed he was trying to escape.

The police will most likely charge the suspects with premedi-tated murder under articles 340 and 338 of the Penal Code.

“We have not decided on whom to charge with premeditated mur-der. We first need to be sure that the murder was premeditated,” he remarked.

With greed for his wealth and jealousy as her motives, JNA al-legedly shelled out some Rp150 million to a number of assassins to murder her husband.

DENPASAR - The Food Law of 2012 laid a strategic basis for the government of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo to achieve the three targets of food security, self-reliance and sovereignty, an agricultural expert said.

“The food law stipulates what Jokowi’s government should give priority to, to develop the agricul-tural sector,” Professor Dr. I Wayan Windia of Undaya University in Bali stated on Saturday.

Agricultural development would most likely be given priority, now that this archipelago, which stretch-es from Sabang in the west to Merauke in the east, is known as a fertile country with high rainfall, he noted.

In such favorable conditions, any plant can grow well and help to promote the standard of living of Indonesians, he assured.

Furthermore, Windia believes that President Jokowi will be able to fulfill the pledges he took during his presidential campaign to achieve food security, self-reliance and sov-ereignty in the next five years.

Indonesia’s agricultural potential could be developed to create food sovereignty based on public pros-perity, he reiterated.

“It depends on the government’s will to allocate sizable funds to develop the agricultural sector seri-ously,” Windia he affirmed.

Shortly after his inauguration on Monday, President Jokowi reiterated his determination to make Indonesia self-reliant in food production within a couple of years during a teleconfer-ence with the Chairman of the Ba-linese Organic Fertilizer Producers Association, I Gede Sutapa.

“I hope all sides support the food self-reliance program. Farm-ers should work hard to create food security,” he said.

SEMARAPURA - The exis-tence of Puri Cempaka always draws the attention of every pass-ing road user on the Jalan Bypass Prof. I.B Mantra. Understandably, right at the roadside stands a house amidst the overlay of Gunaksa vil-lage rice field, Dawan subdistrict. This house becomes the pride of the regime Chandra after two terms of service as the regent of Klungkung.

The name Puri Cempaka is inseparable from his interest in cempaka or champak. Even, while in office, champak was the flower mascot of Klungkung County. Similarly, the name of hamlet where he resides at Pikat village, Dawan subdistrict, was also renamed into Cempaka hamlet. Chandra also loves to sing and has made a special song entitled “Sekar Cempaka” (the champak) becoming the anthem of every activity held by the Klung-kung government. Puri Cempaka stands on the land area of about 3,000 square meters whose house compound wall was made of sand-stone. Candra’s family began to actively occupy the house in 2012. When standing right in front of his house, people will get magnificent impression. Every colleague com-ing to his house will be surely impressed when seeing the results of his hard work where Candra has also been known to live hard, but he could build a grand house.

Everyone entering the house will be greeted with a wantilan hall of the same size of the village meeting hall in Bali. Formerly, the building was used to organize a meeting with communities such as hosting the arrival of the Chair-

person of the PDI-P, Megawati, and consolidation meeting with party cadres in Klungkung County. In the east side of the wantilan, separated by the entrance access to the other buildings on the north appears three parking private cars. Puri Cempaka does not just stop at this point. Another major area of Puri Cempaka lies in the north of the wantilan building. Everyone coming into the main area of the Puri Cempaka will see a two-story building on the west side.

Amidst this building, Candra usually worked out the personal affairs of his firms. Even, last times of his service as the regent of Klungkung, Candra utilized the building as the “Office of the Regent.” Many government affairs were accomplished in this building. Every incoming guest will be wait-ing on the first floor. When it was time to meet him, the guest would go up to the second floor. According to the narrative of people who had been close to him, Thursday (Oct 23), the second floor consisted of a living room as well as workplace in the west side and three rooms on the east side. From this location, people could see the expanse of rice fields around his home.

Meanwhile, among the three rooms, two of which were guest rooms and another room was usu-ally used for a light exercise. Then, of the three rooms on the first floor, two of which were occupied by two children, namely Ni Luh Putu Widyapsari Jayanti and I Made Maha Dwija Santya. “Another room is used to store the clothes of Candra. This first floor is also often used to host an important business and political meeting with his as-sociates,” said a resource person

who was having closer relation to Chandra when he was the regent of Klungkung. Exactly in the north side of this building, there was also a small wantilan typically used to meet up with close friends and the family of Candra.

Meanwhile, right in the north of this building, there are three other buildings, including a warehouse at northwest side and Bale Daja pavil-ion in the east side. It was composed of brick and sandstone embellished with Balinese classical carvings.

Bale Daja is the retreat of Candra with his wife Ni Wayan Ringin. Then, in the east of Bale Daja lies the family shrines. In the south of the shrines stands a twelve-beamed gazebo amid a small pond with a fountain water feature. Every day, this spacious home is maintained at least by more than three house-keepers. Meanwhile, room of the housekeepers is located in the south of the Candra’s workplace.

Since the information on the fore-closure to Puri Cempaka emerged,

big investors were reported to have an interest in the luxury home. As information at issue in Klungkung, this house is estimated to be worth IDR 7 billion. However, when the estimated price of the house was confirmed to the Chief of Klungkung District Attorney, Totok Bambang Sapto Dwijo, Thursday (Oct 23), he stated that he could not disclose the estimated price of each asset confiscated. Appraisal of the confiscated assets would be carried out by a special team. (gik)

Rousseff held a slight lead in most polls over her center-right opponent, Aecio Neves. The choice between Rousseff and Neves has split Brazil-ians into two camps — those who think only the president will continue to protect the poor and advance social inclusion versus those who are certain that only the contender’s market-friendly economic policies can see Brazil return to solid growth.

The Workers’ Party’s 12 years in power have seen a profound trans-formation in Brazil, as it expanded social welfare programs to help lift millions of people from poverty and into the middle class. But four straight years of weak economic growth under Rousseff, with an economy that’s now in a technical recession, has some worried those gains are under threat.

“Brazilians want it all. They are worried about the economy being sluggish and stagnant but they want to preserve social gains that have been made,” said Michael Shifter,

president of the Washington-based Inter-American Dialogue. “The question is which candidate is best equipped to deliver both of those.”

Rousseff and Neves have fought bitterly to convince voters that they can deliver on both growth and social advances. This year’s campaign is widely considered the most acrimonious since Brazil’s re-turn to democracy in 1985, a battle between the only two parties to have held the presidency since 1995.

Neves has hammered at Rousseff over a widening kickback scandal at state-run oil company Petrobras, with an informant telling investiga-tors that the Workers’ Party directly benefited from the scheme.

Rousseff has rejected those al-legations and told Brazilians that a vote for Neves would be support for returning Brazil to times of intense economic turbulence, hyperinflation and high unemployment, which the nation encountered when the Social Democrats last held power.

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran hanged a woman on Saturday who was convicted of murdering a man she alleged was trying to rape her, drawing swift international con-demnation for a prosecution several countries described as flawed.

Reyhaneh Jabbari was hanged at dawn for premeditated murder, the official IRNA news agency reported. It quoted a statement issued by the Tehran Prosecutor Office Saturday that rejected the claim of attempted rape and said that all evidence proved that Jabbari had plotted to kill Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi, a former intelligence agent.

The United Nations as well as Amnesty International and other human rights groups had called on

Iran’s judiciary to halt the execu-tion, which was carried out after the country’s Supreme Court upheld the verdict. The victim’s family could have saved Jabbari’s life by accept-ing blood money but they refused to do so.

According to her 2009 sentenc-ing, Jabbari, 27, stabbed Sarbandi in the back in 2007 after purchasing a knife two days earlier. “The knife had been used on the back of the deceased, indicating the murder was not self-defense,” the agency quoted the court ruling as saying.

Britain, Germany, and a group of European parliamentarians, among others, condemned the execution, as did the United States.

“There were serious concerns with the fairness of the trial and the circumstances surrounding this case, including reports of confes-sions made under severe duress,” State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement.

“We join our voice with those who call on Iran to respect the fair trial guarantees afforded to its

people under Iran’s own laws and its international obligations,” she added.

IRNA said the police investiga-tion found that Jabbari sent a text message to a friend saying she would kill Sarbandi three days before the deadly incident.

Iranian media reports say Sar-bandi’s family insisted on their legal rights under the Islamic principle of “an eye for an eye” partly because Jabbari accused Sarbandi of being a rapist in what became a highly publicized media campaign.

In a statement ahead of the hanging Amnesty said the investi-gation had been “deeply flawed” and that Jabbari’s claims “do not appear to have ever been properly investigated.” The group is opposed to the death penalty and has long condemned Iran’s use of capital punishment.

The number of executions in Iran has spiked this year, with over 170 people executed already in the first quarter of the year, according to the United Nations.

Brazil votes for next leader after bitter campaignAssociated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO — President Dilma Rousseff is counting on Brazilians’ gratefulness for a decade of progress to overcome concerns about a sluggish economy as the leftist leader seeks re-election on Sunday after a bitter, unpredictable campaign.

AP Photo/Leo CorreaA city worker pushes boxes of electronic voting machines to a voting center ahead of tomorrow’s elec-tions in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014. Brazilians will go to the polls on Sunday to decide who’ll be the next leader of Latin America’s biggest economy.

Chairman of the Surgeon Con-gress, Paul Tahalele, in a press release explained that the latest data in 2013 indicated there were about 600,000 people of Indonesia from the upper middle class group looking for medical treatment overseas. This number will con-

tinue to increase each year in line with the increase of rich people in Indonesia in recent years. As the recent data of survey, many data are not recorded. The country of destination for the rich people of Indonesia to get medical treatment include Singapore, Malaysia, China

and several countries in Europe and America.

“It can almost be ascertained if the number will increase in 2014,” he said. According to him, there were two reasons why many Indonesian people were looking for medical treatment overseas. Firstly, it was related to prestige and financially they were able to do so. “They also know that doc-tors in Indonesia are able to do so. Secondly, it is the matter of equipment and technological fac-tor. Admittedly, a lot of medical equipment is not adequate even though the doctors and experts in Indonesia have been able to do so,” he said.

Many patients of Indonesia looking for medical treatment overseas led to a loss of foreign exchange for Indonesia. The data received from the Ministry of Health mentioned that the potential of foreign exchange losses due to many Indonesian patients seek-ing medical treatment overseas reached IDR 100 billion per year. Meanwhile, the data from the state-owned enterprise explained if the total losses due to many In-donesian patients seeking medical treatment overseas reached IDR 60 trillion per year. However, if they are averaged the total loss reached IDR 80 trillion to IDR 90 trillion per year. It is a pretty great number

for Indonesia.A neurosurgeon of Indonesia,

Prof. Sri Muliawan, said that In-donesia only had 4,000 surgeons in 2014. Of these numbers, 1,800 belonged to general surgeon. Of the totally 1,800 general practi-tioners, 1,250 people were living in big cities in Java and Bali. So far, in the hospital of type C and D were in need of general surgeon and could not be fulfilled because many doctors still lived in urban areas. Indonesia had a very ex-tensive area with thousands of islands. Of the 17,000 islands, 6,000 of which had been inhabited but they still lacked for surgeons. (kmb27)

Billions of foreign exchanges in health sector vaporize Bali Post

DENPASAR - Hundreds of billions of foreign exchange of health sector in Indonesia annually lose because people tend to get medical treatment overseas. This condition is inseparable from the image and shortage of medical equipment in Indonesia and the uneven distribution of medical personnel. Thus, the rich choose to get medi-cal treatment overseas. Actually in terms of capacity, credibility and expertise, the doctors in Indonesia are not much different from the doctors at high-end hospitals overseas.

BANGLI - Behind the isolated location, Subaya village in Kintamani subdistrict, in fact, retains a very amazing natural charm. The village bordering with Les village, Tejakula (Buleleng) has tourism potential that is not less attractive with hill attractions than the other parts of the region. Bukit Mende is the name of the tourism potential at Subaya village being able to offer the beauty of natural scenery.

From this location, visitors can see the natural beauty spreading in three directions at once. In the north, visitor’s eyes will be pampered with the beautiful array of blue ocean of Tejakula, Buleleng. In the east, visitors will also be presented with a variety of beautiful terraced fields with agricultural plants. Meanwhile, in the west it offers a green and beautiful landscape of breathtaking mountain. Even, if visitors are lucky, they can also see the wonderful charm of sunset from the hills.

However, behind all the natural beauties, visitors wishing to make a visit to Subaya should pass through a badly dam-aged road. Even, the road spreading along five kilometers and the tourism supporting facilities at the village are still very minimal. So, the tourism potential owned by the village contributing high dropout rate in Bangli eventually cannot be developed.

With the condition, local villagers hoped the local govern-ment to pay more attention to Subaya village, especially with regard to the road access. Hopefully, the village having quite high poverty could rise up and flourish. (ina)

During high tides, parts of the building are hit by the waves freely. Actually, the area around the Segara Temple and melasti venue has been protected with concrete breakwater. Now, it has started to be porous and broken. “During high tides, the waves always crash the temple directly, while the breakwater no longer works well because many of them have broken-down,” said Ketut Adnyana, one of the visitors to the beach. Although the tidal waves hit the temple at certain times, if it was left without breakwater, the waves would erode the land and public buildings around the coast.

In addition to the existence of Segara Temple, the beach is also often used to moor for fishing boats. Not far from the temple, there is also a football field. The

beach is also used as the venue of melasti by some customary villages in the subdistrict of Jembrana.

Meanwhile, based on the data of the Jembrana Public Works Agency, the coastal area of Yeh Kuning belongs to criti-cal points of abrasion in the Jembrana subdistrict other than Perancak and Air Kuning. Of the total Jembrana beach length of 76 kilometers, more than 20 kilometers are exposed to abra-sion. “A total of 22 critical points are prone to coastal abrasion from Gilimanuk to Pengeragoan (Pekutatan),” said the Head of Jembrana Public Works, IGP Mertadana. A revetment also started to be constructed on some beaches such as the Baluk Ren-ing, Cupel, Candikusuma and Pengeragoan. (kmb26)

In each high tide, the land on the beach is hit by the waves. Apart from eroding the land, a number of buildings along the coast are also prone to collapse such as the Segara Temple and meeting hall of fishermen on the Yeh Kuning Beach.

TOKYO - Shares in Japanese auto giant Toyota advanced in Tokyo trade on Friday following a report it is set to book a record operating profit in the six-month period to September.

Toyota’s shares jumped 1.75 percent to 6,151.0 yen ($57) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The world’s biggest automak-er was likely to see its operating profit rise four percent to about 1.3 trillion yen ($12 billion) be-tween April and September, the leading Japanese business daily Nikkei reported.

The story attributed the rise to brisk sales in North America and elsewhere, helped by a weaker yen which makes Japanese ex-porters more competitive over-seas and inflates their repatriated

profits.Toyota may revise up its net

profit forecast for the full year to March, the Nikkei added.

In August, the company said it was on course to deliver a net profit of 1.78 trillion yen in the current fiscal year. However, Toyota trimmed its calendar year global sales target to 10.22 mil-lion vehicles, from an earlier esti-mate of 10.33 million, as demand across Asia slipped.

Japanese car companies, in-cluding Toyota rivals Nissan and Honda, have been big winners over the past year as a sharp drop in the yen inflated their profits, while sales accelerated in key markets including the US and China.

The Nikkei also said Friday that Toyota has sold some of its shares in US electric car manu-facturer Tesla.

How should investors view this intense flip-flop? As an overdue re-minder that stocks aren’t a one-way ride up. While last week’s slump doesn’t technically count as a cor-rection — defined as a 10-percent drop from a peak — that’s how many professional investors view it.

“It’s important to have these periods of scare and fear,” says Joe Quinlan, chief market strategist for U.S. Trust. “It keeps investors honest and it keeps them on their toes.”

In fact, such sell-offs often provide a base for another move higher in stocks, market observers say.

That’s because a slump stops people from focusing on the upward momentum of the stock market. If prices rise with few bumps along the way, investors sometimes stop con-sidering the fundamental drivers of the market, such as company earnings and the health of the economy, Quin-lan says. Investors are also tempted to ignore a tenet of investing: Diversify. After a big drop, though, they think about putting money into other things

besides stocks.John Manley, chief equity strategist

at Wells Fargo Funds Management says that the recent plunge wasn’t typical of a sell-off that precedes a deeper drop in stock prices.

Instead, the slump was typical of a sell-off that happens in a rising mar-ket, known as a bull market, he says. By contrast, declines of 20 percent or more, known as bear markets, tend to start with gradual sell-offs, rather than sudden swoons, Manley says.

For a deeper sell-off to happen, investors need to become compla-cent, or wildly enthusiastic, he says. So far, he sees little evidence of that on Wall Street. Manley expects the stock market to continue to stabilize as the U.S. economy strengthens and company earnings improve.

Some believe that the slump changed the psychology of the mar-ket. The Chicago Board Options Exchange’s volatility index, known as the VIX, or fear index, rose as high as 31 during the day on Oct. 15, but has since fallen back to 16.11.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell as low as 1.91 percent last week as investors snapped up safer government bonds. It now trades at 2.27 percent.

But Brad McMillan, chief in-vestment officer at Commonwealth financial network, an independent broker dealer, sees more caution in the market. The sharp sell-off has made investors focus on risks, such as a slowdown in growth in Europe and China.

“There are cracks in the ice at this point,” said McMillan. “People are really starting to process the fact that ‘we’re pretty far up there,’” in terms of stock prices.

After a surge of nearly 30 percent last year, the S&P 500 is trading at 24.8 times its 10-year average earn-ings, as calculated by Nobel Prize winning economist Robert Shiller of Yale. That is much more expensive than the long-term average of 16.5. Schiller’s measure smooths out distor-tions caused by the business cycle.

It was also no coincidence that the slump in stocks came shortly before the Federal Reserve was due to end its economic stimulus, says Robert Pav-lik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners. The Fed is expected to end its bond-buying program this month, and to start raising interest rates by the middle of next year, its first hikes since 2006.

FRANKFURT — The Europe-an Central Bank on Sunday will re-veal the results of a yearlong search through the books of Europe’s 130 biggest banks, a key part of the region’s effort to recover from its debt and economic crisis.

The review aims to weed out banks that are hiding financial problems that keep them from lending to businesses at afford-able rates. Companies need the loans to invest and hire if Eu-rope’s economy, which didn’t grow at all in the second quarter

and has unemployment of 11.5 percent, is to improve.

Banks that flunk the review could be forced to raise money, restructure or be sold off. That could cause some market turmoil in the short term as banks scram-ble to find cash from investors or governments.

But in the longer term, the hope is that this will create stronger banks. In Europe, busi-nesses are more dependent on bank loans than in the United States, where companies more often raise funds through bond markets.

l It reviews the banks’ loans, holdings and investments as of the end of 2013.l Examiners looked at whether the banks’ holdings are worth what the banks claim. l After the review, banks are expected to maintain a capital ratio of 8 percent. l Not all banks that fail the review will have to raise new money. l Banks were also put through a stress test, a simulation to see what would happen to their finances in a three-year eco-nomic downturn with plunging bond prices and gyrations on foreign exchange markets.

Banks found to be in big trouble could wind up restructuring or being sold.l Independent experts estimate several banks will fail, though it is not clear how many will need to raise new money. PIMCO, the bond fund management company, estimates 18 banks will need to raise new money.

The two-day vote, which had been scheduled for Sunday and Monday, was supposed to have gauged the protesters’ support for counterproposals to offers made by Hong Kong’s govern-ment following talks last week between student protest leaders and authorities.

The government offered to submit a report to Beijing noting the protesters’ unhappiness with a decision to have an appointed committee screen candidates for the semiautonomous city’s leader, known as the chief executive. Protesters are demanding open nominations for chief executive in the city’s inaugural direct elec-tion, promised for 2017.

“We admit that we did not have enough discussion with the people before deciding to go ahead with the vote and we apologize to the people,” the protest leaders said in a statement. They also cited “differing opinions regarding the format, motions and effective-ness” of the referendum.

Two student groups — the Hong Kong Federation of Stu-dents and Scholarism — and the activist group Occupy Central With Peace and Love had called for the referendum on Friday.

The vote would have asked the protesters whether they supported having the government’s report ask Beijing to consider open nominations for 2017 election

candidates. The government had also made a vague offer for dia-logue with the protesters, and the vote would have gauged support for ensuring it covered reforming Hong Kong’s legislature.

The groups behind the referen-dum had called for voting to be held only at the main downtown protest site, upsetting demon-strators at two other occupation sites located elsewhere in Hong Kong.

The protesters are facing grow-ing pressure, with the demon-

strations, which began Sept. 28, stretching into their second month and no sign of concession from the government.

Although thousands of people remain camped out at the main protest site, demonstrators said this past week that they did not see any resolution in sight.

“I think we should think about our plan and think about whether to retreat,” protester Jo Tai said Sunday. “We can’t occupy the streets with no t ime l imita-tions.”

KIEV — Voters in Ukraine headed to the polls Sunday to elect a new parliament, overhauling a legislature tainted by its associa-tion with ousted President Viktor Yanukovych.

The election is set to usher in a contingent of largely pro-Western lawmakers. President Petro Po-roshenko’s party has campaigned on an ambitious reform agenda and is expected to get the largest share of the vote, but there is a strong likelihood it will need to rule in a coalition.

While around 36 million people have been registered to vote, the election will not be held on the Crimean Peninsula, which was

annexed by Russia in March, or in the eastern regions where unrest is still rumbling and armed pro-Russia separatist rebels have taken firm hold. Nongovernment watchdog Opora estimates some 2.8 million people in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the east — more than half the potential 5 million voters there — will be unable to cast their ballot.

Tamara Shupa, a 62-year old retiree, said she hoped incoming lawmakers would put an end to the war. “We are very tired of the war,” Shupa said. “To bring about change, we need peace.”

The election marks a closing chapter in the reset of Yanuk-ovych’s legacy. The former leader was deposed in February after

months of sometimes violent pro-tests sparked by his snap decision to put ties with the European Union on hold in favor of deepening trade relations with Russia.

The protests, which broadened into a mass uprising fueled by rage at the pervasive corruption seen as a leading cause of the country’s economic sluggishness, culminated in snipers shooting dead dozens of demonstrators.

Andrei Voitenko, a 40-year old teacher casting his ballot at a school in the capital, Kiev, said a new parliament would have to work toward repaying the high price paid by his fellow Ukrainians. “We are overhauling the government be-cause Ukraine and Ukrainians have made a European choice,” Voitenko

said. “Now we need a new parlia-ment to make a European future. We have drawn a line under our Soviet past.”

Other parties expected to win seats in parliament include Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk’s Pop-ular Front and the Fatherland party of Yulia Tymoshenko. Another strong contender is firebrand na-tionalist Oleh Lyashko’s Radical Party, which has commanded much public attention through lavish campaign spending.

The political forces with the best prospects in the vote all broadly share a pro-Western posture and have stated their ambition to pro-mote the thorough reforms needed to reverse Ukraine’s cataclysmic economic decline.

Ukraine’s woes have been com-pounded in recent months by a conflict against armed separatists on the border with Russia that has claimed the lives of more than 3,000 people.

The country has enjoyed close if often strained relations with Russia since gaining independence. The public mood has turned sharply against the leadership in Moscow, however, over what is widely seen as its direct role in fomenting sepa-ratist unrest.

“Russia cannot interfere with Ukraine. We will become part of Europe,” said 30-year old econo-mist Anton Rushailo, after voting in Kiev. “Sooner or later, we will join NATO, and today we are taking an important step in that direction.”

“Enggangrangkok Wonda, initially Rambo Wonda, is a nephew of Puron Wonda who is in police’s wanted list,” Mende said here on Saturday.

Police also said Enggangrangkok

was allegedly involved in deadly shootings that killed eight police officers.

The Jayawijaya Resort Police are still investigating the seven armed separatists who had operated in cen-tral Papuan mountainous area.

Mende said Police planned to transfer the seven armed separat-ists to Jayapura to conduct further investigation.

JAYAPURA - Two French jour-nalists were Friday handed short jail terms for illegally reporting in In-donesia’s Papua province, but will walk free next week after already having served the time in custody, their lawyer said.

Thomas Dandois, 40, and Val-entine Bourrat, 29, were detained at the start of August while making a documentary for Franco-German television channel Arte about Pap-ua’s separatist movement.

Indonesia is deeply sensitive about journalists covering Papua,

where a low-level insurgency against the central government has simmered for decades, and rarely grants visas for foreigners to report independently in the region.

At the trial in Jayapura, the capi-tal of Papua province, the pair were charged with breaking immigration laws since they were reporting with tourist, not journalist, visas -- a crime punishable by up to five years in jail.

Prosecutors had sought a four-month sentence during the trial, which started this week, saying the journalists had admitted their mistake and apologised.

However a panel of judges handed them a sentence of only two months and 15 days, their lawyer Aristo Pangaribuan told AFP. They will be released next week, he said.

“This decision is good because they will go home on Monday,” said the lawyer.

“But from a legal perspective, this is not very good because it opens the door for the criminalisa-tion of journalistic activtities.” They did not plan to appeal, he added.

Foreign journalists detained in the past for illegally reporting in Papua were swiftly deported.

He finally put that right in Ma-laysia, though only after a first-corner brush with Lorenzo that dropped him to eighth. Lorenzo had made a good start to put his Yamaha between Honda duo Dani Pedrosa and Marquez as they approached Turn 1, where contact between the two champions sent both wide.

While Marquez dropped all the way to eighth, Lorenzo pulled back onto the line in third place, and then swiftly overtook both fast-starter Andrea Dovizioso’s Ducati and Pedrosa to lead at the end of the opening lap.

Pedrosa then fell from second place at the final corner on lap two, but there was little respite for Lorenzo as Valentino Rossi and the recovering Marquez were soon on his tail. The lead trio spent the first half of the race covered by just a few tenths as they ran in a very tense three-bike train.

After many, many attempts under braking, Rossi finally got

ahead of Lorenzo at half-distance. Marquez followed the Italian soon afterwards, with Lorenzo - who was running a harder front tyre than his rivals - then falling away in third place.

Rossi held on a little longer before Marquez made it past, al-though it took the final two laps of the race for the Honda to shake the Yamaha off completely. Marquez’s win draws him level with Mick Doohan for the record of 12 premier class victories in a single season, and he can now break that mark in the season finale at Valencia in a fortnight.

Rossi’s second place increases his advantage over Lorenzo in the

battle for the championship runner-up spot. This is now an all-Yamaha affair with Pedrosa out of conten-tion after crashing for good when back up to 13th place.

Dovizioso developed a problem in the closing laps and tumbled right back to eighth place, which meant Stefan Bradl and Bradley Smith ended up battling for fourth, with the German coming out on top.

Pol Espargaro bravely rode to sixth despite breaking a bone in his foot in a Saturday practice crash and having some very close calls with Yonny Hernandez, who finished seventh.

Attrition levels were high again: in addition to Andrea Iannone non-starting due to arm injuries from a Friday clash with Marquez, Aleix Espargaro and Alvaro Bautista col-lided early on, and Cal Crutchlow parked his Ducati from sixth with a mechanical problem.

VALENCIA, Spain — Andy Murray beat top-seeded David Ferrer 6-4, 7-5 Saturday to reach the final of the Valencia Open. The third-seeded Mur-ray, who won the title here in 2009, bettered Ferrer at his own ground game to win most of their long rallies on the indoor hard court.

The Briton jumped to an early lead in both sets by breaking the hometown favorite’s first service games before Ferrer fought back from 3-0 down in the second set to take a 4-3 lead. Murray settled down, broke the three-time champion again and served out the final game.

Murray will face Tommy Robredo in Sunday’s final after the Spaniard beat Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 7-6 (7), 7-6 (2). Murray will rise to No. 5 in the rankings if he beats Robredo as he tries to qualify for the ATP finals.

“After the U.S. Open I was aware that I would need to win a lot of matches to try to reach the tour finals,” said Murray. “So it was important for me to try and get as many matches as I can

against the top players between now and the end of the year.” Murray and Ferrer had met last week in the final of the Erste Bank Open, with Murray also coming out on top.

Murray started strongly by hustling for a passing shot before Ferrer committed two double-faults to cede his first service game. Murray didn’t give Ferrer a break point until he was serv-ing for the first set, but he then hit two big serves before Ferrer sent a forehand wide to give his opponent the lead.

Murray started the second set in identical fashion, but he needed four chances before breaking Ferrer a third time to build a 3-0 advantage.

The Spaniard rallied to win the next four games but wasted a chance to break Murray for a third straight game. Murray then got the decisive break but still needed to save three break points before serving out the match.

“Murray served pretty well (in the) first set and I couldn’t do anything,” Ferrer said. “In the first set and part of second, he was better than me. Andy is a pretty good player. If you aren’t focused against him, you pay.”

Diafra Sakho’s seventh goal in as many games provided fourth-place West Ham with its latest eye-catching scalp while inflicting City’s second loss of its title defense. “I don’t think that the team felt what happened on Tuesday in Russia,” City manager Manuel Pellegrini said. “Of course I’m very disappoint-ed about the score as I don’t think we deserved to lose.”

City was dislodged from sec-ond place by surprise package Southampton, which followed up its 8-0 rout of Sunderland with a more mundane 1-0 win over Stoke after Sadio Mane’s first goal for the south-coast club.

While Southampton’s start has been astonishing after a summer of upheaval, Liver-pool’s has been erratic and epitomized by Mario Balotelli. The striker, whose performance and conduct was decried in Wednesday’s 3-0 loss to Real Madrid, failed to score his first league goal for the club in a 0-0 draw with Hull.

But Arsenal hit back after last weekend’s draw with Hull

to beat Sunderland 2-0 to climb above Liverpool to fifth. Swan-sea is sandwiched between Arsenal and Liverpool — with the trio all on 14 points — after Wilfried Bony’s double clinched a 2-0 win over Leicester. Leader Chelsea visits eighth-place Manchester United in Sunday’s standout fixture. A victory at Old Trafford would put Jose Mourinho’s side eight points clear of City after eight games.

City conceded after 22 min-utes in east London as Morgan Amalfitano tapped in Enner Valencia’s low pass into the box. West Ham relied on goal-line technology to go further in front in the 75th after Sakho connected with Aaron Cress-well’s cross. City goalkeeper Joe Hart initially appeared to have clawed the header off the line but the referee’s high-tech aid showed otherwise.

Although David Silva darted past four tackles before slot-ting past goalkeeper Adrian to pull one back for City, West Ham held on for a third straight home win. “This is a famous victory for us and one that we

will treasure for a long, long time,” West Ham manager Sam Allardyce said.

West Ham is two points ahead of London rival Arsenal, which won its first league game in more than a month thanks to another weekend of Sunderland defensive deficiencies. Alexis Sanchez profited twice. The first time came on the half-hour after defender Wes Brown scuffed a back pass to goal-keeper Vito Mannone. Sanchez went one-on-one with Mannone and lobbed the ball into the net over the advancing goalkeeper. The Chile forward netted again in stoppage time when Mannone failed to control Will Buckley’s back-pass and he was able to tap the ball into the net.

“He took advantage of the mistakes they made, but as well, he has super quality,” Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said of Sanchez. “He has quick feet and that’s why he wins many balls that normal players don’t win.” The late drama of the day came at West Bromwich Albion where fought back to draw 2-2 at home to Crystal Palace.

Brede Hangeland volleyed Palace in front and Mile Je-dinak doubled the London club’s lead from the pen-alty spot before half time. Substitute Victor Anichebe sparked West Brom’s come-back at the start of the second half by heading into the net. After Anichebe was fouled by Mile Jedinak, Saido Berahino scored the resulting penalty in stoppage time.

BERLIN — Borussia Dortmund’s Bundesliga troubles continued Sat-urday with a 1-0 loss at home to Hannover, the side’s fourth straight league defeat.

Dortmund, the 2011 and 2012 league champion, was left to rue a host of missed opportunities when Japan midfielder Hiroshi Kiyotake struck a precise free kick over the wall and inside the corner in the 61st minute.

Hannover goalkeeper Ron-Rob-ert Zieler produced a string of

saves to deny the home side. Hannover finished with 10 men after Ceyhun Gulselam got his second yellow card in the 89th.

Elsewhere, Stuttgart edged a nine-goal thriller 5-4

at Eintracht Frankfurt, Augs-burg defeated Freiburg 2-0,

Hertha Berlin routed Hamburger SV 3-0 and unbeaten Hoffenheim

defeated promoted Paderborn 1-0 to go provisionally second.

Hakan Calhanoglu’s perfect free kick in the 53rd gave Bayer Le-verkusen a deserved 1-0 win over Schalke in the late game. Leverkus-en defender Tin Jedvaj earned a

direct red for a wild tackle on Jan Kirchhoff with five minutes to play.

“It was a tactical game with few chances decided by a set piece,” Schalke striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar said. “We

didn’t play enough football.”Leverkusen’s first victory after

three draws propelled the side provisionally fourth, while Schalke dropped to 12th after Roberto di

Matteo’s first defeat in his third game as coach. Earlier, bottom side Werder Bremen fired coach Robin Dutt and appointed Viktor Skripnik, its under-23 coach, in his place.

Dortmund’s players lined up in their Champions League jerseys, hopeful of bringing European form — three wins from three games — to the Bundesliga, which the club has started as badly only twice before.

Juergen Klopp’s side dominated the first half in terms of possession and chances but again the effort failed to yield goals. “We had four or five clear chances, but didn’t put the ball in,” Klopp said.

Zieler denied Henrikh Mkhitary-an’s effort in the 12th and Germany

teammate Mats Hummels’ header six minutes later.

Marco Reus almost made the breakthrough toward the end of the half when he shot narrowly over, and Zieler produced another top save to deny Reus early in the second.

Kiyotake’s expertly taken spot kick was Hannover’s first away goal of the season, while Dortmund’s fifth defeat in six games left it just one point above Hamburg in the relegation zone. “We’ll keep fight-ing,” Klopp said.

Christian Gentner was the hero for Stuttgart, which twice came from behind to win on coach Armin Veh’s return to former club Frankfurt. “It was a crazy game,” Veh said.

NEW DELHI — Former France midfielder Robert Pires and Atletico de Kolkata coach Antonio Lopez Habas have been suspended and fined by the Indian Super League for a scuffle during a match last week. Pires, Goa’s marquee player, was suspended for two matches and Spaniard Habas for four. Both were also fined of 500,000 Rupees ($8,160), according to a statement from the ISL late Saturday.

Pires and Habas were report-edly exchanged blows in the tunnel during half-time of the Goa-Kolkata match Thursday.

Kolkata’s goalkeeping coach Predipkumar Bhaktawer has also

been suspended for one match and fined $490 for his role in the incident.

The Kolkata club, which leads the eight-team league with 10 points from four matches, will also be without striker Fikru Lemessa.

Ethiopian player Lemessa was suspended for two matches and also fined $8,160 for head-butting Goa player Gregory Arnolin during the match, which saw yellow cards shown to seven players.

The inaugural edition of the ISL has generally seen good crowds in the early matches with big names like Alessandro Del Piero, Luis Garcia and David Trezeguet turning out for differ-ent teams.

MADRID - Real Madrid’s de-cision to sell midfielders Xabi Alonso and Angel Di Maria left many scratching their heads and consecutive La Liga defeats as well as a reverse to Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup set alarm bells ringing at the Bernabeu. Toni Kroos, who joined from Bayern Munich while Alonso went the other way, was seen as a poor sub-stitute for the experienced Spain midfielder, while James Rodriguez, top scorer at the World Cup finals in Brazil with six goals, seemed to lack Di Maria’s intensity and eye for a killer pass.

A couple of months later and the picture is an altogether different one. Real have come into the kind of form that propelled them to a record-extending 10th European title last season in coach Carlo An-celotti’s first term in charge.

Recent performances, includ-ing Saturday’s 3-1 win at home to Barcelona in the La Liga ‘Clasico’, suggest Ancelotti has successfully completed the integration of Kroos and Rodriguez into a side that is fearsome in attack and mean in defence. Since they were beaten at home by Atletico in La Liga on Sept. 13, Real have scored 38 goals in nine outings in all competitions and conceded a mere six.

Portuguese World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo is in the form of his life and has netted a jaw-dropping 16 goals in eight La Liga appearances, including the equaliser from the penalty spot on Saturday.

The victory lifted Real to within a point of leaders Barca after nine matches and they are virtually assured of passage to the Champi-ons League knockout round after winning their opening three group games. “We’re in very good form, I don’t know if I’ve found the perfect formula,” Ancelotti told a post-’Clasico’ news conference. “We’re also in good mental shape,” added the Italian. “We still have the

same idea as last year. We’re trying to improve our play and everything is coming off well.”

Biggest TestBarca, by contrast, are licking

their wounds after their defensive frailty was again exposed on Satur-day and they squandered a number of chances after Neymar had put them ahead in the fourth minute. Pepe was left unmarked to head in from a corner for Real’s second goal, while their third came after a mix-up between Andres Iniesta and Javier Mascherano.

Ronaldo’s penalty was the first goal Barca had conceded in La Liga this season but, worryingly for

new coach Luis Enrique, they have failed in both their biggest tests so far this term, also losing 3-2 at Paris St Germain in the Champions League.

“The game clearly showed that there are opponents who are just as good as us, if not better, like today,” Luis Enrique told a news confer-ence. “(In Paris) we deserved more and the team was good in general terms,” added the former Spain midfielder, who had stints at both Real and Barca.

“It was a different story against Madrid as they deserved more. But we’ll pick ourselves up and at the end of the season we’ll see if we have deserved something.

PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain overcame a sluggish start and an early red card to beat Bordeaux 3-0 on Saturday and maintain its unbeaten start to the season, thanks to two penalties from Lucas Moura and a late goal from fellow winger Ezequiel Lavezzi. For the second straight week, PSG had a player sent off when right back Gregory Van der Wiel was shown a straight red card in the 27th minute for a tackle from behind on Bordeaux winger Wahbi Khazri.

Referee Tony Chapron then showed Bordeaux’s Andre Poko a straight red 10 minutes later for a high tackle on fellow midfielder Marco Verratti. Lucas scored his first penalty in first-half injury time and the Brazilian added the second shortly after the break. Lavezzi,

who has been out for a month with a hamstring injury, pounced with a volley from midfielder Blaise Matuidi’s cross in the 81st minute after coming off the bench.

Two-time defending champion PSG is four points behind leader Marseille, which goes to play fourth-place Lyon on Sunday eye-ing a club record ninth straight league win. Although PSG is still struggling to dominate games — having won five and drawn six in the league — two consecutive clean sheets have coincided with the return of Brazil pair Thiago Silva and David Luiz to the center of defense.

But coach Laurent Blanc sug-gested the team’s overall fitness level still needs to improve. “To do as well as last season would be pretty good, to do better will be very difficult,” he said. “We’re not

at the same level as last season and we’re not hiding from that. But it’s not really in terms of how we’re playing, because we always have possession, but the big difference is how we’re recovering (after games).”

Bordeaux is three points behind PSG in fourth place, one point be-hind third-place Nantes, which won 2-0 at 19th-place Evian courtesy of second-half penalty from mid-fielder Jordan Veretout and a late goal from striker Yacine Bammou. “It hurts. There were some surpris-ing decisions but Paris deserved to win,” Bordeaux coach Willy Sag-nol said. “They controlled the game better than we did and played better going forward.” Sagnal was furious with the penalty decision.

“If that’s a red card, then perhaps we should take up dancing or figure skating,” he said. “You can interpret

it how you like. The red card was already in his hand before Verratti fell down.” Blanc sympathized with his former France teammate. “I wouldn’t like to be a referee, it’s difficult, but 10 against 10 for one hour is a bit much,” he said. Chapron awarded PSG a penalty in first-half stoppage time when Cedric Yambere brought down Verratti and Lucas scored confidently from the spot.

PSG was again missing star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has been out for more than one month with a heel injury, and Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani was suspended after being sent off last weekend against Lens. Winger Jean-Christophe Bahebeck earned a rare start in an unfamiliar center forward’s role, flanked by Argen-tina midfielder Javier Pastore and Lucas. PSG had an early claim for a penalty kick turned down after

forward Diego Rolan barged into midfielder Blaise Matuidi.

After Van der Wiel’s sending off, Bordeaux went close when Rolan fired over following a corner and then had a penalty shout of his own turned down after a challenge from David Luiz. Lucas made it 2-0 in the 50th, after being pulled down by defender Nicolas Pallois. Bordeaux hit back and PSG goalie Salvatore Sirigu made a smart stop to deny midfielder Jaroslav Plasil a minute later.

After Matuidi had forced a save from goalkeeper Cedric Car-rasso, Matuidi sprinted down the left and crossed to the back post, where Lavezzi beat Carrasso with a slightly deflected strike. In Sat-urday’s other games, it was: Bastia 1, Monaco 3; Caen 2, Lorient 1; Evian 0, Nantes 2, and Reims 1, Montpellier 0.

Referee Tony Chapron then showed Bordeaux’s Andre Poko a straight red 10 minutes later for a high tackle on fellow midfielder Marco Verratti. Lucas scored his first penalty in first-half injury time and the Brazilian added the second shortly after the break. Lavezzi,

who has been out for a month with a hamstring injury, pounced with a volley from midfielder Blaise Matuidi’s cross in the 81st minute after coming off the bench.

Two-time defending champion PSG is four points behind leader Marseille, which goes to play fourth-place Lyon on Sunday eye-ing a club record ninth straight league win. Although PSG is still struggling to dominate games — having won five and drawn six in the league — two consecutive clean sheets have coincided with the return of Brazil pair Thiago Silva and David Luiz to the center of defense.

But coach Laurent Blanc sug-gested the team’s overall fitness level still needs to improve. “To do as well as last season would be pretty good, to do better will be very difficult,” he said. “We’re not

at the same level as last season and we’re not hiding from that. But it’s not really in terms of how we’re playing, because we always have possession, but the big difference is how we’re recovering (after games).”

Bordeaux is three points behind PSG in fourth place, one point be-hind third-place Nantes, which won 2-0 at 19th-place Evian courtesy of second-half penalty from mid-fielder Jordan Veretout and a late goal from striker Yacine Bammou. “It hurts. There were some surpris-ing decisions but Paris deserved to win,” Bordeaux coach Willy Sag-nol said. “They controlled the game better than we did and played better going forward.” Sagnal was furious with the penalty decision.

“If that’s a red card, then perhaps we should take up dancing or figure skating,” he said. “You can interpret

it how you like. The red card was already in his hand before Verratti fell down.” Blanc sympathized with his former France teammate. “I wouldn’t like to be a referee, it’s difficult, but 10 against 10 for one hour is a bit much,” he said. Chapron awarded PSG a penalty in first-half stoppage time when Cedric Yambere brought down Verratti and Lucas scored confidently from the spot.

PSG was again missing star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has been out for more than one month with a heel injury, and Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani was suspended after being sent off last weekend against Lens. Winger Jean-Christophe Bahebeck earned a rare start in an unfamiliar center forward’s role, flanked by Argen-tina midfielder Javier Pastore and Lucas. PSG had an early claim for a penalty kick turned down after

forward Diego Rolan barged into midfielder Blaise Matuidi.

After Van der Wiel’s sending off, Bordeaux went close when Rolan fired over following a corner and then had a penalty shout of his own turned down after a challenge from David Luiz. Lucas made it 2-0 in the 50th, after being pulled down by defender Nicolas Pallois. Bordeaux hit back and PSG goalie Salvatore Sirigu made a smart stop to deny midfielder Jaroslav Plasil a minute later.

After Matuidi had forced a save from goalkeeper Cedric Car-rasso, Matuidi sprinted down the left and crossed to the back post, where Lavezzi beat Carrasso with a slightly deflected strike. In Sat-urday’s other games, it was: Bastia 1, Monaco 3; Caen 2, Lorient 1; Evian 0, Nantes 2, and Reims 1, Montpellier 0.

He finally put that right in Ma-laysia, though only after a first-corner brush with Lorenzo that dropped him to eighth. Lorenzo had made a good start to put his Yamaha between Honda duo Dani Pedrosa and Marquez as they approached Turn 1, where contact between the two champions sent both wide.

While Marquez dropped all the way to eighth, Lorenzo pulled back onto the line in third place, and then swiftly overtook both fast-starter Andrea Dovizioso’s Ducati and Pedrosa to lead at the end of the opening lap.

Pedrosa then fell from second place at the final corner on lap two, but there was little respite for Lorenzo as Valentino Rossi and the recovering Marquez were soon on his tail. The lead trio spent the first half of the race covered by just a few tenths as they ran in a very tense three-bike train.

After many, many attempts under braking, Rossi finally got

ahead of Lorenzo at half-distance. Marquez followed the Italian soon afterwards, with Lorenzo - who was running a harder front tyre than his rivals - then falling away in third place.

Rossi held on a little longer before Marquez made it past, al-though it took the final two laps of the race for the Honda to shake the Yamaha off completely. Marquez’s win draws him level with Mick Doohan for the record of 12 premier class victories in a single season, and he can now break that mark in the season finale at Valencia in a fortnight.

Rossi’s second place increases his advantage over Lorenzo in the

battle for the championship runner-up spot. This is now an all-Yamaha affair with Pedrosa out of conten-tion after crashing for good when back up to 13th place.

Dovizioso developed a problem in the closing laps and tumbled right back to eighth place, which meant Stefan Bradl and Bradley Smith ended up battling for fourth, with the German coming out on top.

Pol Espargaro bravely rode to sixth despite breaking a bone in his foot in a Saturday practice crash and having some very close calls with Yonny Hernandez, who finished seventh.

Attrition levels were high again: in addition to Andrea Iannone non-starting due to arm injuries from a Friday clash with Marquez, Aleix Espargaro and Alvaro Bautista col-lided early on, and Cal Crutchlow parked his Ducati from sixth with a mechanical problem.

VALENCIA, Spain — Andy Murray beat top-seeded David Ferrer 6-4, 7-5 Saturday to reach the final of the Valencia Open. The third-seeded Mur-ray, who won the title here in 2009, bettered Ferrer at his own ground game to win most of their long rallies on the indoor hard court.

The Briton jumped to an early lead in both sets by breaking the hometown favorite’s first service games before Ferrer fought back from 3-0 down in the second set to take a 4-3 lead. Murray settled down, broke the three-time champion again and served out the final game.

Murray will face Tommy Robredo in Sunday’s final after the Spaniard beat Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 7-6 (7), 7-6 (2). Murray will rise to No. 5 in the rankings if he beats Robredo as he tries to qualify for the ATP finals.

“After the U.S. Open I was aware that I would need to win a lot of matches to try to reach the tour finals,” said Murray. “So it was important for me to try and get as many matches as I can

against the top players between now and the end of the year.” Murray and Ferrer had met last week in the final of the Erste Bank Open, with Murray also coming out on top.

Murray started strongly by hustling for a passing shot before Ferrer committed two double-faults to cede his first service game. Murray didn’t give Ferrer a break point until he was serv-ing for the first set, but he then hit two big serves before Ferrer sent a forehand wide to give his opponent the lead.

Murray started the second set in identical fashion, but he needed four chances before breaking Ferrer a third time to build a 3-0 advantage.

The Spaniard rallied to win the next four games but wasted a chance to break Murray for a third straight game. Murray then got the decisive break but still needed to save three break points before serving out the match.

“Murray served pretty well (in the) first set and I couldn’t do anything,” Ferrer said. “In the first set and part of second, he was better than me. Andy is a pretty good player. If you aren’t focused against him, you pay.”

The two-day vote, which had been scheduled for Sunday and Monday, was supposed to have gauged the protesters’ support for counterproposals to offers made by Hong Kong’s govern-ment following talks last week between student protest leaders and authorities.

The government offered to submit a report to Beijing noting the protesters’ unhappiness with a decision to have an appointed committee screen candidates for the semiautonomous city’s leader, known as the chief executive. Protesters are demanding open nominations for chief executive in the city’s inaugural direct elec-tion, promised for 2017.

“We admit that we did not have enough discussion with the people before deciding to go ahead with the vote and we apologize to the people,” the protest leaders said in a statement. They also cited “differing opinions regarding the format, motions and effective-ness” of the referendum.

Two student groups — the Hong Kong Federation of Stu-dents and Scholarism — and the activist group Occupy Central With Peace and Love had called for the referendum on Friday.

The vote would have asked the protesters whether they supported having the government’s report ask Beijing to consider open nominations for 2017 election

candidates. The government had also made a vague offer for dia-logue with the protesters, and the vote would have gauged support for ensuring it covered reforming Hong Kong’s legislature.

The groups behind the referen-dum had called for voting to be held only at the main downtown protest site, upsetting demon-strators at two other occupation sites located elsewhere in Hong Kong.

The protesters are facing grow-ing pressure, with the demon-

strations, which began Sept. 28, stretching into their second month and no sign of concession from the government.

Although thousands of people remain camped out at the main protest site, demonstrators said this past week that they did not see any resolution in sight.

“I think we should think about our plan and think about whether to retreat,” protester Jo Tai said Sunday. “We can’t occupy the streets with no t ime l imita-tions.”

KIEV — Voters in Ukraine headed to the polls Sunday to elect a new parliament, overhauling a legislature tainted by its associa-tion with ousted President Viktor Yanukovych.

The election is set to usher in a contingent of largely pro-Western lawmakers. President Petro Po-roshenko’s party has campaigned on an ambitious reform agenda and is expected to get the largest share of the vote, but there is a strong likelihood it will need to rule in a coalition.

While around 36 million people have been registered to vote, the election will not be held on the Crimean Peninsula, which was

annexed by Russia in March, or in the eastern regions where unrest is still rumbling and armed pro-Russia separatist rebels have taken firm hold. Nongovernment watchdog Opora estimates some 2.8 million people in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the east — more than half the potential 5 million voters there — will be unable to cast their ballot.

Tamara Shupa, a 62-year old retiree, said she hoped incoming lawmakers would put an end to the war. “We are very tired of the war,” Shupa said. “To bring about change, we need peace.”

The election marks a closing chapter in the reset of Yanuk-ovych’s legacy. The former leader was deposed in February after

months of sometimes violent pro-tests sparked by his snap decision to put ties with the European Union on hold in favor of deepening trade relations with Russia.

The protests, which broadened into a mass uprising fueled by rage at the pervasive corruption seen as a leading cause of the country’s economic sluggishness, culminated in snipers shooting dead dozens of demonstrators.

Andrei Voitenko, a 40-year old teacher casting his ballot at a school in the capital, Kiev, said a new parliament would have to work toward repaying the high price paid by his fellow Ukrainians. “We are overhauling the government be-cause Ukraine and Ukrainians have made a European choice,” Voitenko

said. “Now we need a new parlia-ment to make a European future. We have drawn a line under our Soviet past.”

Other parties expected to win seats in parliament include Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk’s Pop-ular Front and the Fatherland party of Yulia Tymoshenko. Another strong contender is firebrand na-tionalist Oleh Lyashko’s Radical Party, which has commanded much public attention through lavish campaign spending.

The political forces with the best prospects in the vote all broadly share a pro-Western posture and have stated their ambition to pro-mote the thorough reforms needed to reverse Ukraine’s cataclysmic economic decline.

Ukraine’s woes have been com-pounded in recent months by a conflict against armed separatists on the border with Russia that has claimed the lives of more than 3,000 people.

The country has enjoyed close if often strained relations with Russia since gaining independence. The public mood has turned sharply against the leadership in Moscow, however, over what is widely seen as its direct role in fomenting sepa-ratist unrest.

“Russia cannot interfere with Ukraine. We will become part of Europe,” said 30-year old econo-mist Anton Rushailo, after voting in Kiev. “Sooner or later, we will join NATO, and today we are taking an important step in that direction.”

JAKARTA - Kenyan runner Julius Kiprotich Seurei won the Open Full Marathon category of the Jakarta Marathon 2014 on Sunday, clocking at two hours and 51 seconds.

“I am very happy with this vic-tory. I will come to Jakarta next year to take part in the Jakarta Marathon again,” Seurei told the press after receiving the first champion trophy of the Jakarta Marathon 2014.

Seurei took part in the Jakarta Marathon for the first time but was able to win the first prize worth Rp250 million in the full marathon category with a distance of 42.195 kilometers. The finish line is in the National Monument (Monas) Square.

The second place was won by his compatriot Kennedy Liken Kipro followed by another Kenyan Yusuf Sowgoka in the third place.

Kipro won the second prize valued at Rp175 million while Sowgoka was awarded the third prize worth Rp125 million.

Three other Kenyan runners also won the first, second and third places in the Women’s Open Full Marathon category. The first place was won by Nyansikera Windfri-dah followed by her compatriots Mercy Jemutai in the second place and Elizabeth Jenuyut in the third place.

A total of 14 thousands runners from 50 countries took part in the Jakarta Marathon 2014 which was divided into five categories: full marathon (42.295 km), half mara-thon (21 km), 10k (10 km) and 5k (five km) as well as Maratoonz (800 meters) for children.

Ulatningsih.Deputy minister of tourism and

creative economy Sapta Nirwandar said the annual event was an effec-tive means of promoting Jakarta and attracting tourists from foreign countries as well as various regions in the country.

“We hope this event will become a means of promoting attractive areas in Jakarta,” he said.

The JakMar co-founder and chairman said there are a lot of in-teresting tourism spots in the city.

“I am convinced this event will be able to promote Jakarta to become one of the sport tourism destination,” he said.

The marathon event which was organized by the ministry of tour-ism and creative economy, the Jakarta city administration and Inspiro offers five categories con-sisting 42.195 km distance, half-marathon 21 km, 10km and 5km distances as well as Maratoonz for children.

“Enggangrangkok Wonda, initially Rambo Wonda, is a nephew of Puron Wonda who is in police’s wanted list,” Mende said here on Saturday.

Police also said Enggangrangkok

was allegedly involved in deadly shootings that killed eight police officers.

The Jayawijaya Resort Police are still investigating the seven armed separatists who had operated in cen-tral Papuan mountainous area.

Mende said Police planned to transfer the seven armed separat-ists to Jayapura to conduct further investigation.

JAYAPURA - Two French jour-nalists were Friday handed short jail terms for illegally reporting in In-donesia’s Papua province, but will walk free next week after already having served the time in custody, their lawyer said.

Thomas Dandois, 40, and Val-entine Bourrat, 29, were detained at the start of August while making a documentary for Franco-German television channel Arte about Pap-ua’s separatist movement.

Indonesia is deeply sensitive about journalists covering Papua,

where a low-level insurgency against the central government has simmered for decades, and rarely grants visas for foreigners to report independently in the region.

At the trial in Jayapura, the capi-tal of Papua province, the pair were charged with breaking immigration laws since they were reporting with tourist, not journalist, visas -- a crime punishable by up to five years in jail.

Prosecutors had sought a four-month sentence during the trial, which started this week, saying the journalists had admitted their mistake and apologised.

However a panel of judges handed them a sentence of only two months and 15 days, their lawyer Aristo Pangaribuan told AFP. They will be released next week, he said.

“This decision is good because they will go home on Monday,” said the lawyer.

“But from a legal perspective, this is not very good because it opens the door for the criminalisa-tion of journalistic activtities.” They did not plan to appeal, he added.

Foreign journalists detained in the past for illegally reporting in Papua were swiftly deported.

BANGLI - Behind the isolated location, Subaya village in Kintamani subdistrict, in fact, retains a very amazing natural charm. The village bordering with Les village, Tejakula (Buleleng) has tourism potential that is not less attractive with hill attractions than the other parts of the region. Bukit Mende is the name of the tourism potential at Subaya village being able to offer the beauty of natural scenery.

From this location, visitors can see the natural beauty spreading in three directions at once. In the north, visitor’s eyes will be pampered with the beautiful array of blue ocean of Tejakula, Buleleng. In the east, visitors will also be presented with a variety of beautiful terraced fields with agricultural plants. Meanwhile, in the west it offers a green and beautiful landscape of breathtaking mountain. Even, if visitors are lucky, they can also see the wonderful charm of sunset from the hills.

However, behind all the natural beauties, visitors wishing to make a visit to Subaya should pass through a badly dam-aged road. Even, the road spreading along five kilometers and the tourism supporting facilities at the village are still very minimal. So, the tourism potential owned by the village contributing high dropout rate in Bangli eventually cannot be developed.

With the condition, local villagers hoped the local govern-ment to pay more attention to Subaya village, especially with regard to the road access. Hopefully, the village having quite high poverty could rise up and flourish. (ina)

Behind the isolated location, Subaya village in Kintamani subdistrict, in fact, retains a very amazing natural charm.

The village bordering with Les village, Tejakula (Bule-leng) has tourism potential that is not less attractive with

hill attractions than the other parts of the region.

During high tides, parts of the building are hit by the waves freely. Actually, the area around the Segara Temple and melasti venue has been protected with concrete breakwater. Now, it has started to be porous and broken. “During high tides, the waves always crash the temple directly, while the breakwater no longer works well because many of them have broken-down,” said Ketut Adnyana, one of the visitors to the beach. Although the tidal waves hit the temple at certain times, if it was left without breakwater, the waves would erode the land and public buildings around the coast.

In addition to the existence of Segara Temple, the beach is also often used to moor for fishing boats. Not far from the temple, there is also a football field. The

beach is also used as the venue of melasti by some customary villages in the subdistrict of Jembrana.

Meanwhile, based on the data of the Jembrana Public Works Agency, the coastal area of Yeh Kuning belongs to criti-cal points of abrasion in the Jembrana subdistrict other than Perancak and Air Kuning. Of the total Jembrana beach length of 76 kilometers, more than 20 kilometers are exposed to abra-sion. “A total of 22 critical points are prone to coastal abrasion from Gilimanuk to Pengeragoan (Pekutatan),” said the Head of Jembrana Public Works, IGP Mertadana. A revetment also started to be constructed on some beaches such as the Baluk Ren-ing, Cupel, Candikusuma and Pengeragoan. (kmb26)

In each high tide, the land on the beach is hit by the waves. Apart from eroding the land, a number of buildings along the coast are also prone to collapse such as the Segara Temple and meeting hall of fishermen on the Yeh Kuning Beach.

TOKYO - Shares in Japanese auto giant Toyota advanced in Tokyo trade on Friday following a report it is set to book a record operating profit in the six-month period to September.

Toyota’s shares jumped 1.75 percent to 6,151.0 yen ($57) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The world’s biggest automak-er was likely to see its operating profit rise four percent to about 1.3 trillion yen ($12 billion) be-tween April and September, the leading Japanese business daily Nikkei reported.

The story attributed the rise to brisk sales in North America and elsewhere, helped by a weaker yen which makes Japanese ex-porters more competitive over-seas and inflates their repatriated

profits.Toyota may revise up its net

profit forecast for the full year to March, the Nikkei added.

In August, the company said it was on course to deliver a net profit of 1.78 trillion yen in the current fiscal year. However, Toyota trimmed its calendar year global sales target to 10.22 mil-lion vehicles, from an earlier esti-mate of 10.33 million, as demand across Asia slipped.

Japanese car companies, in-cluding Toyota rivals Nissan and Honda, have been big winners over the past year as a sharp drop in the yen inflated their profits, while sales accelerated in key markets including the US and China.

The Nikkei also said Friday that Toyota has sold some of its shares in US electric car manu-facturer Tesla.

How should investors view this intense flip-flop? As an overdue re-minder that stocks aren’t a one-way ride up. While last week’s slump doesn’t technically count as a cor-rection — defined as a 10-percent drop from a peak — that’s how many professional investors view it.

“It’s important to have these periods of scare and fear,” says Joe Quinlan, chief market strategist for U.S. Trust. “It keeps investors honest and it keeps them on their toes.”

In fact, such sell-offs often provide a base for another move higher in stocks, market observers say.

That’s because a slump stops people from focusing on the upward momentum of the stock market. If prices rise with few bumps along the way, investors sometimes stop con-sidering the fundamental drivers of the market, such as company earnings and the health of the economy, Quin-lan says. Investors are also tempted to ignore a tenet of investing: Diversify. After a big drop, though, they think about putting money into other things

besides stocks.John Manley, chief equity strategist

at Wells Fargo Funds Management says that the recent plunge wasn’t typical of a sell-off that precedes a deeper drop in stock prices.

Instead, the slump was typical of a sell-off that happens in a rising mar-ket, known as a bull market, he says. By contrast, declines of 20 percent or more, known as bear markets, tend to start with gradual sell-offs, rather than sudden swoons, Manley says.

For a deeper sell-off to happen, investors need to become compla-cent, or wildly enthusiastic, he says. So far, he sees little evidence of that on Wall Street. Manley expects the stock market to continue to stabilize as the U.S. economy strengthens and company earnings improve.

Some believe that the slump changed the psychology of the mar-ket. The Chicago Board Options Exchange’s volatility index, known as the VIX, or fear index, rose as high as 31 during the day on Oct. 15, but has since fallen back to 16.11.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell as low as 1.91 percent last week as investors snapped up safer government bonds. It now trades at 2.27 percent.

But Brad McMillan, chief in-vestment officer at Commonwealth financial network, an independent broker dealer, sees more caution in the market. The sharp sell-off has made investors focus on risks, such as a slowdown in growth in Europe and China.

“There are cracks in the ice at this point,” said McMillan. “People are really starting to process the fact that ‘we’re pretty far up there,’” in terms of stock prices.

After a surge of nearly 30 percent last year, the S&P 500 is trading at 24.8 times its 10-year average earn-ings, as calculated by Nobel Prize winning economist Robert Shiller of Yale. That is much more expensive than the long-term average of 16.5. Schiller’s measure smooths out distor-tions caused by the business cycle.

It was also no coincidence that the slump in stocks came shortly before the Federal Reserve was due to end its economic stimulus, says Robert Pav-lik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners. The Fed is expected to end its bond-buying program this month, and to start raising interest rates by the middle of next year, its first hikes since 2006.

FRANKFURT — The Europe-an Central Bank on Sunday will re-veal the results of a yearlong search through the books of Europe’s 130 biggest banks, a key part of the region’s effort to recover from its debt and economic crisis.

The review aims to weed out banks that are hiding financial problems that keep them from lending to businesses at afford-able rates. Companies need the loans to invest and hire if Eu-rope’s economy, which didn’t grow at all in the second quarter

Banks that flunk the review could be forced to raise money, restructure or be sold off. That could cause some market turmoil in the short term as banks scram-ble to find cash from investors or governments.

But in the longer term, the hope is that this will create stronger banks. In Europe, busi-nesses are more dependent on bank loans than in the United States, where companies more often raise funds through bond markets.

SEMARAPURA - The exis-tence of Puri Cempaka always draws the attention of every pass-ing road user on the Jalan Bypass Prof. I.B Mantra. Understandably, right at the roadside stands a house amidst the overlay of Gunaksa vil-lage rice field, Dawan subdistrict. This house becomes the pride of the regime Chandra after two terms of service as the regent of Klungkung.

The name Puri Cempaka is inseparable from his interest in cempaka or champak. Even, while in office, champak was the flower mascot of Klungkung County. Similarly, the name of hamlet where he resides at Pikat village, Dawan subdistrict, was also renamed into Cempaka hamlet. Chandra also loves to sing and has made a special song entitled “Sekar Cempaka” (the champak) becoming the anthem of every activity held by the Klung-kung government. Puri Cempaka stands on the land area of about 3,000 square meters whose house compound wall was made of sand-stone. Candra’s family began to actively occupy the house in 2012. When standing right in front of his house, people will get magnificent impression. Every colleague com-ing to his house will be surely impressed when seeing the results of his hard work where Candra has also been known to live hard, but he could build a grand house.

Everyone entering the house will be greeted with a wantilan hall of the same size of the village meeting hall in Bali. Formerly, the building was used to organize a meeting with communities such as hosting the arrival of the Chair-

person of the PDI-P, Megawati, and consolidation meeting with party cadres in Klungkung County. In the east side of the wantilan, separated by the entrance access to the other buildings on the north appears three parking private cars. Puri Cempaka does not just stop at this point. Another major area of Puri Cempaka lies in the north of the wantilan building. Everyone coming into the main area of the Puri Cempaka will see a two-story building on the west side.

Amidst this building, Candra usually worked out the personal affairs of his firms. Even, last times of his service as the regent of Klungkung, Candra utilized the building as the “Office of the Regent.” Many government affairs were accomplished in this building. Every incoming guest will be wait-ing on the first floor. When it was time to meet him, the guest would go up to the second floor. According to the narrative of people who had been close to him, Thursday (Oct 23), the second floor consisted of a living room as well as workplace in the west side and three rooms on the east side. From this location, people could see the expanse of rice fields around his home.

Meanwhile, among the three rooms, two of which were guest rooms and another room was usu-ally used for a light exercise. Then, of the three rooms on the first floor, two of which were occupied by two children, namely Ni Luh Putu Widyapsari Jayanti and I Made Maha Dwija Santya. “Another room is used to store the clothes of Candra. This first floor is also often used to host an important business and political meeting with his as-sociates,” said a resource person

who was having closer relation to Chandra when he was the regent of Klungkung. Exactly in the north side of this building, there was also a small wantilan typically used to meet up with close friends and the family of Candra.

Meanwhile, right in the north of this building, there are three other buildings, including a warehouse at northwest side and Bale Daja pavil-ion in the east side. It was composed of brick and sandstone embellished with Balinese classical carvings.

Bale Daja is the retreat of Candra with his wife Ni Wayan Ringin. Then, in the east of Bale Daja lies the family shrines. In the south of the shrines stands a twelve-beamed gazebo amid a small pond with a fountain water feature. Every day, this spacious home is maintained at least by more than three house-keepers. Meanwhile, room of the housekeepers is located in the south of the Candra’s workplace.

Since the information on the fore-closure to Puri Cempaka emerged,

big investors were reported to have an interest in the luxury home. As information at issue in Klungkung, this house is estimated to be worth IDR 7 billion. However, when the estimated price of the house was confirmed to the Chief of Klungkung District Attorney, Totok Bambang Sapto Dwijo, Thursday (Oct 23), he stated that he could not disclose the estimated price of each asset confiscated. Appraisal of the confiscated assets would be carried out by a special team. (gik)

Rousseff held a slight lead in most polls over her center-right opponent, Aecio Neves. The choice between Rousseff and Neves has split Brazil-ians into two camps — those who think only the president will continue to protect the poor and advance social inclusion versus those who are certain that only the contender’s market-friendly economic policies can see Brazil return to solid growth.

The Workers’ Party’s 12 years in power have seen a profound trans-formation in Brazil, as it expanded social welfare programs to help lift millions of people from poverty and into the middle class. But four straight years of weak economic growth under Rousseff, with an economy that’s now in a technical recession, has some worried those gains are under threat.

“Brazilians want it all. They are worried about the economy being sluggish and stagnant but they want to preserve social gains that have been made,” said Michael Shifter,

president of the Washington-based Inter-American Dialogue. “The question is which candidate is best equipped to deliver both of those.”

Rousseff and Neves have fought bitterly to convince voters that they can deliver on both growth and social advances. This year’s campaign is widely considered the most acrimonious since Brazil’s re-turn to democracy in 1985, a battle between the only two parties to have held the presidency since 1995.

Neves has hammered at Rousseff over a widening kickback scandal at state-run oil company Petrobras, with an informant telling investiga-tors that the Workers’ Party directly benefited from the scheme.

Rousseff has rejected those al-legations and told Brazilians that a vote for Neves would be support for returning Brazil to times of intense economic turbulence, hyperinflation and high unemployment, which the nation encountered when the Social Democrats last held power.

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran hanged a woman on Saturday who was convicted of murdering a man she alleged was trying to rape her, drawing swift international con-demnation for a prosecution several countries described as flawed.

Reyhaneh Jabbari was hanged at dawn for premeditated murder, the official IRNA news agency reported. It quoted a statement issued by the Tehran Prosecutor Office Saturday that rejected the claim of attempted rape and said that all evidence proved that Jabbari had plotted to kill Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi, a former intelligence agent.

The United Nations as well as Amnesty International and other human rights groups had called on

Iran’s judiciary to halt the execu-tion, which was carried out after the country’s Supreme Court upheld the verdict. The victim’s family could have saved Jabbari’s life by accept-ing blood money but they refused to do so.

According to her 2009 sentenc-ing, Jabbari, 27, stabbed Sarbandi in the back in 2007 after purchasing a knife two days earlier. “The knife had been used on the back of the deceased, indicating the murder was not self-defense,” the agency quoted the court ruling as saying.

Britain, Germany, and a group of European parliamentarians, among others, condemned the execution, as did the United States.

“There were serious concerns with the fairness of the trial and the circumstances surrounding this case, including reports of confes-sions made under severe duress,” State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement.

“We join our voice with those who call on Iran to respect the fair trial guarantees afforded to its

people under Iran’s own laws and its international obligations,” she added.

IRNA said the police investiga-tion found that Jabbari sent a text message to a friend saying she would kill Sarbandi three days before the deadly incident.

Iranian media reports say Sar-bandi’s family insisted on their legal rights under the Islamic principle of “an eye for an eye” partly because Jabbari accused Sarbandi of being a rapist in what became a highly publicized media campaign.

In a statement ahead of the hanging Amnesty said the investi-gation had been “deeply flawed” and that Jabbari’s claims “do not appear to have ever been properly investigated.” The group is opposed to the death penalty and has long condemned Iran’s use of capital punishment.

The number of executions in Iran has spiked this year, with over 170 people executed already in the first quarter of the year, according to the United Nations.

Brazil votes for next leader after bitter campaignAssociated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO — President Dilma Rousseff is counting on Brazilians’ gratefulness for a decade of progress to overcome concerns about a sluggish economy as the leftist leader seeks re-election on Sunday after a bitter, unpredictable campaign.

AP Photo/Leo CorreaA city worker pushes boxes of electronic voting machines to a voting center ahead of tomorrow’s elec-tions in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014. Brazilians will go to the polls on Sunday to decide who’ll be the next leader of Latin America’s biggest economy.

Chairman of the Surgeon Con-gress, Paul Tahalele, in a press release explained that the latest data in 2013 indicated there were about 600,000 people of Indonesia from the upper middle class group looking for medical treatment overseas. This number will con-

tinue to increase each year in line with the increase of rich people in Indonesia in recent years. As the recent data of survey, many data are not recorded. The country of destination for the rich people of Indonesia to get medical treatment include Singapore, Malaysia, China

and several countries in Europe and America.

“It can almost be ascertained if the number will increase in 2014,” he said. According to him, there were two reasons why many Indonesian people were looking for medical treatment overseas. Firstly, it was related to prestige and financially they were able to do so. “They also know that doc-tors in Indonesia are able to do so. Secondly, it is the matter of equipment and technological fac-tor. Admittedly, a lot of medical equipment is not adequate even though the doctors and experts in Indonesia have been able to do so,” he said.

Many patients of Indonesia looking for medical treatment overseas led to a loss of foreign exchange for Indonesia. The data received from the Ministry of Health mentioned that the potential of foreign exchange losses due to many Indonesian patients seek-ing medical treatment overseas reached IDR 100 billion per year. Meanwhile, the data from the state-owned enterprise explained if the total losses due to many In-donesian patients seeking medical treatment overseas reached IDR 60 trillion per year. However, if they are averaged the total loss reached IDR 80 trillion to IDR 90 trillion per year. It is a pretty great number

for Indonesia.A neurosurgeon of Indonesia,

Prof. Sri Muliawan, said that In-donesia only had 4,000 surgeons in 2014. Of these numbers, 1,800 belonged to general surgeon. Of the totally 1,800 general practi-tioners, 1,250 people were living in big cities in Java and Bali. So far, in the hospital of type C and D were in need of general surgeon and could not be fulfilled because many doctors still lived in urban areas. Indonesia had a very ex-tensive area with thousands of islands. Of the 17,000 islands, 6,000 of which had been inhabited but they still lacked for surgeons. (kmb27)

Billions of foreign exchanges in health sector vaporize Bali Post

DENPASAR - Hundreds of billions of foreign exchange of health sector in Indonesia annually lose because people tend to get medical treatment overseas. This condition is inseparable from the image and shortage of medical equipment in Indonesia and the uneven distribution of medical personnel. Thus, the rich choose to get medi-cal treatment overseas. Actually in terms of capacity, credibility and expertise, the doctors in Indonesia are not much different from the doctors at high-end hospitals overseas.

The shelter was quickly con-structed in 1940, after the outbreak of World War II, in what had once been the wine cellar of a noble family who lived there before Mus-solini took up residence during his Fascist rule.

Visitors at a preview Saturday saw the iron-rung ladder used for emergency exits and a rusting contraption to purify air in case of a gas attack. A label on the appara-tus was dated November 1940 in Roman numerals, in keeping with Mussolini’s style of evoking the ancient Roman empire’s glory days as inspiration for his own rule.

The tours, which will run on weekends starting Oct. 31, will also take visitors to see a separate underground bunker that was later built for Mussolini directly under the villa.

Mussolini had the bunker made by encapsulating the 19th-century villa’s underground kitchen area in reinforced concrete. Before that, the Mussolini family would have had to dash across the villa’s sprawling lawn and gardens to reach the wine-cellar shelter in a separate structure if air raid sirens sounded.

Work began in 1942 to expand

and fortify the bunker. Archaeolo-gist Giuseppe Granata said Mus-solini had lamented in writing that the updated bunker was running behind schedule and over cost. It is not known if the dictator ever used the bunker. By the time Allied bombings hit Rome, the dictator had been deposed and, under Nazi protection, was leading a puppet state in northern Italy. In 1945, partisans captured and executed him.

Today, Villa Torlonia is a pine-and-palm-studded park where Ro-mans jog, stroll, play soccer or dine at an outdoor restaurant.

NEW YORK — The Brooklyn Museum plans an exhibition on graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat that includes eight rarely seen note-books filled with his handwritten texts and sketches.

“Basquiat: The Unknown Note-books” will run at the Brooklyn Museum from April 3 through Aug. 23.

It’ll feature 160 unbound note-book pages and 30 related paintings, drawings and mixed media works.

The material comes from private collections and the Brooklyn-born artist’s estate.

Basquiat had his start on the streets of New York. His first public exhibition was in 1980. One of his paintings sold at auction for $23.7 million last year.

The notebooks come from the collection of Larry Warsh. He previously served as a member of the Basquiat authentication com-mittee.

Basquiat died in 1988 of a drug overdose at age 27.

ROME - Italy will open Emperor Nero’s Golden House to the public for the first time since 2005, but only on weekends to allow resto-ration works to continue, Rome’s archaeological superintendent said Friday.

“We have spent 12 million eu-ros ($15.2 million) over the past four years to restore the site and have decided to reopen the Domus Aurea, but as a work in progress,” Mariarosaria Barbera told journal-ists in the Italian capital.

From Sunday, visitors can book guided tours for up to 25 people at a time to be shown around the lavish complex by archaeologists and art

historians.The palace, which lies on a hill

overlooking the Colosseum, was built by Nero after the great fire of Rome in 64 AD razed aristocratic dwellings in the area. It featured groves of fruit trees, vineyards and an artificial lake.

Designed as a party villa rather than a home -- with 300 rooms but no sleeping quarters -- its walls were covered with extensive gold leaf, semi-precious stones and ivo-ry, as well as colourful frescoes.

Italy’s culture ministry appealed in June for sponsors to help find 31 billion euros to help restore the 16,000 square metre (170,000 square foot) complex, which lies under-ground today, to its former glory.

DENPASAR - Ceramic ex-ports in Bali increased by 38.80 percent in the January-August period to US$1.03 million from US$744.11 thousand in the same period last year.

A year-on-year comparison revealed that the ceramic exports rose by 35.81 percent in volume to 298,485 units in the first eight months of the year from 219,776 units, Chief of the Central Statistics Office (BPS) in Bali, Panasunan Siregar said on Saturday.

Singapore led the market for Ba-linese ceramics, having purchased 61.92 percent of the overall exports. It was followed by the U.S. (10.81 percent), Australia (4.22 percent), Spain (3.10 percent), Britain (1.95 percent), Japan (1.82 percent), Italy (1.09 percent), Hong Kong (0.48 percent), and France (0.88 percent).

Ceramic products are one of the 17 types of commodities produced by household industries in the province.

The Balinese ceramic handicraft industry witnessed its golden era in the 1990s, owing to the technology invented by Anak Agung Ngurah Oka, who is currently a lecturer at the School of Arts and Design at Udayana University in Bali.

Balinese ceramics are a combi-nation of various elements of art that attract foreign customers.

DENPASAR - The Bali Police named two more suspects in the case of the murder of 60-year old British national, Robert Kevin Ellis.

“We have named two more suspects. Both were the victim’s housemaids,” spokesman for the Bali provincial police, Snr. Comsr. Herry Wiyanto said.

The two housemaids, who were witnesses in the case earlier, were identified by their initials as F and Y, he added.

Wiyanto further stated that sus-pect F was allegedly given the task of guarding the victim’s dog from thwarting the murder, while sus-pect Y was assigned with the task of cleaning the scene of the crime of blood.

So far, four suspects have been

named in the case. The other two suspects were identified by their initials as JNA and AR.

Moreover, the police believe that the victim’s wife, 45-year old JNA, was the mastermind behind the murder.

AR was arrested at Padangbai port in Karangasem district as they believed he was trying to escape.

The police will most likely charge the suspects with premedi-tated murder under articles 340 and 338 of the Penal Code.

“We have not decided on whom to charge with premeditated mur-der. We first need to be sure that the murder was premeditated,” he remarked.

With greed for his wealth and jealousy as her motives, JNA al-legedly shelled out some Rp150 million to a number of assassins to murder her husband.

DENPASAR - The Food Law of 2012 laid a strategic basis for the government of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo to achieve the three targets of food security, self-reliance and sovereignty, an agricultural expert said.

“The food law stipulates what Jokowi’s government should give priority to, to develop the agricul-tural sector,” Professor Dr. I Wayan Windia of Undaya University in Bali stated on Saturday.

Agricultural development would most likely be given priority, now that this archipelago, which stretch-es from Sabang in the west to Merauke in the east, is known as a fertile country with high rainfall, he noted.

In such favorable conditions, any plant can grow well and help to promote the standard of living of Indonesians, he assured.

Furthermore, Windia believes that President Jokowi will be able to fulfill the pledges he took during his presidential campaign to achieve food security, self-reliance and sov-ereignty in the next five years.

Indonesia’s agricultural potential could be developed to create food sovereignty based on public pros-perity, he reiterated.

“It depends on the government’s will to allocate sizable funds to develop the agricultural sector seri-ously,” Windia he affirmed.

Shortly after his inauguration on Monday, President Jokowi reiterated his determination to make Indonesia self-reliant in food production within a couple of years during a teleconfer-ence with the Chairman of the Ba-linese Organic Fertilizer Producers Association, I Gede Sutapa.

“I hope all sides support the food self-reliance program. Farm-ers should work hard to create food security,” he said.

High volume of waste in harmony with the dense population causes the Tabanan government to think hard in addressing the problem. Other than directly processing the organic and inorganic waste at Mandung landfill, the Tabanan government also forms a community-driven Waste Bank. The Head of the Tabanan Environment Agency, AA Ngu-rah Raka Icwara W, explained that Tabanan currently had 13 units of waste bank.

According to Raka, the task of waste bank was not limited to the processing of waste into fertilizer or sorting organic waste to be processed back but also raising the public awareness for environmental care. He admit-ted that after two years of operation the waste bank in Tabanan did not give a significant ef-fect on the volume of waste sent to landfill. It happened due to lacking for public awareness in sorting the organic and inorganic waste. Yet, according to Raka, sorting the organic and inorganic waste could provide economic benefits to households.

On the other hand, the waste bank in Tabanan was still operated on a small scale. Only one waste bank located in Kediri, namely the Tabanan Serasi Waste Bank, that had already be capable of processing waste in large scale. Manager of the Tabanan Serasi Waste Bank, AA Gede Ngurah Periantara, explained that every day his waste bank was able to manage a ton of unorganic waste. Most of the processed unorganic waste in-cluded plastic bags, bottles of mineral water and bucket. Plastic waste was sorted by color ranging from clear, white, red, yellow, green and black. His party got the raw materials from collectors.

Besides, the Kediri Waste Bank also worked with some schools such as the SMPN 1 Kediri junior high school and SMAN 1 Tabanan high school. He acknowledged that many households were still not becoming the supplier of raw materials to his bank. It happened due to a small number of people in Bali wishing to sort out their waste. “Indeed some households have already wanted to sort out their waste. Surely, we pick up the waste or sometimes they come alone to this waste bank,” he said.

In the purchase of raw materials, contin-ued Periantara, the price was adjusted to the color. Plastic of translucent color was much more expensive than the other colors. The price of translucent plastic was typically around IDR 4,000 per kilogram, while the cheapest was black plastic namely at IDR 1,600 per kilogram. Plastic waste was later cleaned and then chopped into small plastic pieces and put into a sack. After that, this material was sent to Surabaya. “There, it will be processed into plastic granules that can be utilized to produce buckets, plastic bag and others,” explained Periantara. Al-though making money, unfortunately only a few Balinese people that were willing to process the waste.

On that account, the mindset of Balinese people that thought if the waste did not pro-duce anything should be changed gradually. To that end, the Kediri Waste Bank made cooperation with schools so that it could pro-mote the benefits of waste processing since early age. Hopefully, the students could share their knowledge and habits acquired at school to the environment at home. (kmb24)

TABANAN - Vaccination team of the Tabanan Livestock Agency conducted a search in the area of Delod Peken Tabanan after receiving a report of rabies posi-tive dog biting three residents for two consecutive days in the area. As a result of the search, the team could vaccinate 52 dogs that had not been vaccinated previously. It

was revealed by the Division Head of Animal Health, the Tabanan Livestock Agency, Ayu Ratningsih, representing the Head of Tabanan Livestock Agency.

She added that the vaccine for the vaccination was taken from emergency vaccine stock. A 3.5-month-old puppy being positive to rabies, according to Ayu, was taken by the owner from Keram-bitan last August. Allegedly, the

puppy was infected by rabies in the area of Delod Peken. “The ra-bies transmission at Delod Peken was possible to happen because there was a case of rabies posi-tive dog previously,” said Ayu. A selective elimination would be coordinated further when any suspected case of rabies infecting dogs was found.

For prevention of rabies infection in dogs, Tabanan had performed

dog mass vaccination completed last August and could vaccinated 40,500 dogs from an estimation of 45,000 heads. Meanwhile, the re-sults of calculation indicated if the dog population growth in Tabanan increased by 14 percent annually. Thus, though mass vaccination had been done there would be al-ways unvaccinated dogs due to the growth of new dogs.

Besides, public awareness to

vaccinate their dogs on a regular basis was very important especially in 2015 because central government would no longer provide total as-sistance so that the vaccine supply would depend on the budget of each region. In addition to vaccination, the dog also needed impounding or tying because the dog letting go wild potentially interacted with the dogs transmitting rabies virus. (kmb24)

RICHMOND — “Twelve Years a Slave” actress Lupita Nyong’o is lending her star power to the op-position to a minor league baseball stadium in what was once the center of Richmond’s thriving slave-trading center.

Nyong’o has been posting anti-stadium opinions on social media to her millions of followers, and has personally appealed to Mayor Dwight C. Jones to withdraw support of the stadium that is the center-piece of an economic development project.

“Evidence of America’s slave history simply must be preserved, as the legacy of slavery affects all American people,” she wrote in a letter dated Oct. 19 to Jones.

In response, Jones invited Nyong’o to visit the former capital of the Confederacy to see Shockoe Bottom and plans to preserve its slave-trading past.

“Our plans show where we want to invest in that history and lift that history up for future generations to learn from,” Jones wrote.

The stadium-centered project is proposed for Shockoe Bottom, the city’s oldest neighborhood and once the bustling center of the slave-trade. By some estimates, more 300,000 men, women and children were jailed, bought and sold in the Bottom and shipped throughout the Southern states in the decades leading to the Civil War.

The stadium proposal has un-leashed pent-up frustration among those who believe the city has liter-ally buried that shameful chapter of its history. The area is now home to nightclubs, restaurants, former to-bacco warehouses transformed into townhouses and parking lots.

Nyong’o has a “12 Years a Slave” connection to the neighborhood. The celebrated film depicts the life of Solomon Northrup, who is kidnapped and sold into slavery. He is initially held in a Shockoe Bot-

tom jail where slaves were chained before they were sold to growers in the Deep South.

Nyong’o was recruited for the campaign by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which listed Shockoe Bottom in June as one of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.

“We see Shockoe Bottom as not just a state of Virginia treasure, but a national treasure,” the trust’s presi-dent, Stephanie Meeks, said in an interview Tuesday. The campaign, she said, is part of the trust’s efforts to raise awareness about often-overlooked historic resources related to the experiences of black, Hispanic and other minority Americans.

While she stressed that the trust is not opposed to development, Shockoe Bottom’s history should be acknowledged and recognized.

“Much of what was there has been destroyed and what is there is buried,” Meeks said. “We’d like to have a comprehensive archaeologi-cal exploration of this site.”

Meeks said the trust reached out to “some friends in the film industry” who suggested Nyong’o might be interested in the Shockoe Bottom campaign.

The two wed in late August and have no prob-lem in the PDA department.

Wahlberg recently sat in the room as McCarthy spoke to press for her new SiriusXM radio show “Dirty, Sexy, Funny”.

“We go to each other’s jobs to spend time with each other,” said McCarthy. (Wahlberg shoots the CBS cop drama “Blue Bloods” in New York.)

In between interviews, the two kiss, speak softly to one another or McCarthy sits on his lap. As for her work life, that’s great too, says McCarthy.

“Dirty Sexy Funny” is a brand McCarthy cre-ated to give female comedians “the opportunity to shine.” There’s been a tour, a TV special and now this radio show.

It began as a limited weekly summer run and is now a daily live radio show, airing 10 a.m. to noon EDT. McCarthy, who has made a living off her personality appearing on her own short-lived

VH1 show and as a panelist on “The View” says radio seems to be the right career move for right now.

“I always thought I needed to be in front of the camera but I had no idea of the freedom that I’m allowed with talk radio,” she said.

McCarthy says she’s spent years trying to find the gig best suited to her personality.

“I’ve been in holding deals since I was 23, net-work after network trying to fit me in,” she says. “They’d pay me money to sit and wait for them to write a show and no one could quite figure out how to write a character for me. Because I realized I re-ally liked myself as the best character. That’s why I moved into talk. To be your authentic self today too is so welcomed, I think, by audiences.”

On “Dirty Sexy Funny”, the 41-year-old will conduct interviews and discuss various topics. She also has creative control. “I am the one who is in charge of me,” she says.

Jenny McCarthy brings her personality to radioAssociated Press

NEW YORK — For those who wonder if that so-called “honeymoon period” for a newly married couple is real, look no further than TV-radio personality Jenny McCarthy and actor-singer Donnie Wahlberg.

Key figures include Retno Mar-sudi as foreign minister, Bambang Brodjonegoro as finance minister and Sofyan Djalil as chief eco-nomics minister. It included eight women, a higher number than in the previous cabinet.

The 34-member cabinet is broad-ly split between professionals and party politicians, as Widodo seeks to balance a pledge to pick the best people in their fields with pressure to reward parties who backed him

at July’s election.The team of ministers will be

key in helping Widodo, known as Jokowi, push through much-needed reforms to boost Southeast Asia’s top economy and help the country’s poorest, as he faces stiff opposition in parliament from a coalition that backed his election rival.

The daughter of Megawati Su-karnoputri, the head of Widodo’s party, and other figures close to her were named as ministers,

which will add to concerns the former president may seek to influence policy from outside government.

The announcement was expect-ed as early as Tuesday, a day after Widodo was inaugurated as leader of the world’s third-biggest democ-racy. But he took the unprecedented step of asking the powerful Cor-ruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to vet the candidates.

He was seeking to avoid the mistakes of his predecessor, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, whose gov-ernment was hit by a string of corruption scandals that dented its popularity.

“We wanted the chosen people to be clean so we consulted the KPK,”

Widodo said, as he announced the cabinet.

The agency raised concerns about eight prospective ministers, forcing Widodo -- Indonesia’s first leader from outside the political and military elites -- to scramble to find replacements.

Since the downfall of dictator Suharto in 1998 after three decades in power, it has been common practice in Indonesian politics for prospective leaders to promise cabinet posts to allies in exchange for support.

Widodo, a 53-year-old former furniture exporter, pledged to eschew backroom deal-making in a bid to usher in a clean new form of government after beating

controversial ex-general Prabowo Subianto in the election.

But growing pressure in recent weeks prompted him to make a concession, and he agreed to give out around half the jobs to allies.

Most prominently, Puan Maha-rani, the daughter of Megawati, was named head of one of four powerful “coordinating ministries”, which oversee several other ministries. She is heading the ministry for cul-ture and human development.

A close Megawati confidant, Rini Soemarno, was named state-owned enterprises minister, while another figure close to her, former army chief of staff Ryamizard Ryacudu, was selected as defence minister.

President announced cabinet, including female FMAgence France-Presse

JAKARTA - New Indonesian President Joko Widodo un-veiled his cabinet Sunday, which included the country’s first female foreign minister, after a lengthy delay caused by anti-corruption authorities’ concerns about several candidates.
