JLaw’s nude photo case

Inquiries begin into nude celebrity photo leaks Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The FBI said Monday it was addressing allegations that online accounts of several celebrities, including Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, had been hacked, leading to the posting of their nude photographs online. The agency did not say what actions it was taking to investigate who was responsible for posting naked photos of Lawrence and other stars. Apple said Monday it was looking into whether its online photo-sharing service had been hacked to obtain the intimate images.

Lawrence, a three-time Oscar nominee who won for her role in “Silver Linings Playbook,” contacted authorities after the images began appearing Sunday.

Naked images purporting to be of other female stars were also posted, although the authenticity of many couldn’t be confirmed.

The source of the leak was unclear.

“This is a flagrant violation of privacy,” Lawrence’s publicist Liz Mahoney wrote in a statement. “The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.”

The FBI said it was “aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter.”

“Any further comment would be inappropriate at this time,” spokeswoman Laura Eimiller wrote in a statement.

Apple Inc. spokeswoman Natalie Kerris

said the company was investigating whether any iCloud accounts had been tampered with, but she did not give any further details.

Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead also confirmed that nude photos of her were posted online. “To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves,” Winstead posted on Twitter. Winstead, who starred in “Final Destination 3” and “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” wrote that she thought the images had been destroyed.

“Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this,” Winstead wrote.

The FBI has investigated previous leaks of nude celebrity images, including leaks involving Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera and footage of television sports reporter Erin Andrews in a Tennessee hotel room. Those cases resulted in convictions.

Bali flooded by imported products

Bali Post

DENPASAR - Aside from being flooded with foreign travelers, Bali also receives an abundance of products imported from various countries, especially China. The country has share of 63.71 percent of the total import value which reaches USD 21,473,353 in July 2014.

The Head of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Bali, Panusunan Siregar, said the products imported into the Island of the Gods increased during this period. The increase in the import value was quite staggering, reaching 129.02 percent over the same period in the previous year reaching USD 9,376,131. This figure also increased 170.05 percent compared to June 2014 amounting to USD 7,951,572.

“Fortunately, the products brought into Bali were not food and textile products such as rice, meat, clothing or other vital products. So, they do not bring in negative impact for the economy,” said Panusunan Siregar.

He explained that the main commodities imported to Bali included mechanical products, jewelry, essential oils, perfumery cosmetics, electrical appliances and

lime. Their respective percentage was 66.05 percent, 10.46 percent, 5.90 percent, 3.36 percent and 1.80 percent.

“Those products include supporting tools, such as agricultural machinery, processor of raw materials and heavy equipment. On that account, we are actually benefited with these imports, as they can support the economy,” he said.

He mentioned the cumulative imported goods of Bali province in July 2014 reached USD 183,948,093 or 70.53 percent increase compared to the condition of previous year reaching USD 107,871,130. “In addition to China, we also import some products from Thailand, Germany, Australia,

United States and Switzerland,” he said.

Meanwhile, Prof. Dr. IB Raka Suardana expressed that disruption of Indonesia was not only in terms of security, but also a threat to the cultural assets in the form of culture and local products having faced the free trade. Moreover, the younger generation of this nation preferred to use imported products and was ashamed of using domestic products. Actually, loving Indonesian products could reflect how great the love of people in this nation was.

“Apparently, young people do not feel guilty when putting on or consuming imported products.

Even, they have a different kind

of pride when using imported products. In the matter of fashion products, our young generation does not feel guilty when showing off that what they wear is other’s product,” he said.

To that end, he said there should be a mindset change in the community when wishing to increase the use of domestic products.

“Who should start? They must be pioneered by the officials, leaders, those becoming role models, artists, lecturers and teachers. If they have given an example for the use of domestic product, then their followers such as the community, employees, pupils and students will inevitably follow,” he explained.

This information was presented during the media gathering at Denpasar recently.

According to GM Marketing & PR Division PT. Wiraswasta Gemilang Indonesia (WGI), Krisnasti Desiana, this new slogan has been socialized since July 2014 through Evalube’s TV Commercial (TVC) that aired in 5 TV stations.

She said this new slogan is part of company’s effort to give more satisfaction to consumers. She explained that Evalube conducted a survey on consumers’ preferences in buying lubricants.

Two hamlets at Yangapi facing water crisis hamlets. However, they were still more fortunate because their area still had a spring that could be utilized.

To overcome the water crisis at the two hamlets, said Adnyana, the Bangli government had previously drilled to a certain depth, but such an effort failed. So, the residents were still difficult to get clean water.

Against the condition, Adnyana kept on hoping that Bangli government could find a way out for the problem. “Hopefully, this condition can find a way out, especially for the people who live in the northern region. The region incidentally has no spring at all,” he hoped. (ina)

Evalube introduces new slogan

Having no spring

Difficulty to get clean water was recognized by headman of Yangapi, Made Adnyana, Monday (Sep 1). He said that to meet the needs of clean water, hundreds of residents living at Kubusuih and Tingat hamlet were forced to buy it at a quite expensive price of IDR 200,000 per truck. Such condition happened because both hamlets indeed did not have any springs.

According to him, with the majority of residents having the livelihood as farmers, the clean water crisis would be considered very hard. He said that similar condition was also experienced by residents at several other

NEGARA - After the fire incident afflicting to dozens of kiosks and stalls in Pekutatan public market, Friday night (Aug 29), trading activities in the market has not recovered yet. Some traders whose stall and space engulfed by the fire are still traumatized as they found their location and goods totally burned out. Until Monday (Sep 1), debris of the buildings still littered.

Dozens of traders lost their merchandise and space to do selling. Some of them are still shocked due to the incident. Surely it will take long time to recover their business.

One of the security guards of the market met last Monday revealed that previously the market was also on fire in 1991. A total of 8 stores, 12 kiosks and 11 stalls burned out. They were all located in the western block of the Pekutatan public market.

Subdistrict head of Pekutatan, Ketut Eko Susila, when met on Monday said the greengrocers and canang sellers whose kiosk was on fire were temporarily relocated to location of

the night market on the north side.

Based on data collection, he said there were dozens of stalls burned out along with stall P and stall O. A total of 21 stalls were completely on fire. “They burned out with merchandise. The most serious incident afflicted the stalls in the market,” he explained. For the time being, the market only left the building debris and they would be cleaned up through mutual assistance.

According to him, the subdistrict and Pekutatan village officers would ask for help to local Military Region Command to clean up the market debris. For short term, the regional enterprise (Perusda) and Jembrana Industry, Trade and Cooperative Agency would build shanties to accommodate the traders whose kiosk and stall were on fire. “As planned, it will be built in front area as temporary shanty,” he added.

Meanwhile, based on the results of forensic examination, the cause of fire was electrical short circuit. Chief of the Jembrana Police Criminal Investigation, Gusti Made Sudarma

Putra, with permission from the Chief of Jembrana Police said on Monday (Sep 1) that the results of forensic laboratory found if the fire was kindled by the insulation failure on electrical wires and the cables did not meet standard quality. According to this officer from Bangli, the evidence had also been secured including wires and chipped copper cables and the ashes of the burned stuff.

The findings indicated if the cables did not comply with the standard and were installed by the traders, not by the installer of PLN. As a result, the connector did not get plugged firmly into the socket. Besides, it was also found many cables connected to bulb fitting and large cables. Necessarily, one block used one MCB, but in fact, some blocks only used one MCB. According to Sudarma Putra, the fire incident occurred at the Pekutatan market began from stall P, kiosk 17 and kiosk 18 belonging to Gusti Putu Artawan that sold fabrics. Meanwhile, a number of witnesses saw if the fire began from stall 49 belonging to Ni Komang Hendrayanti. (kmb26)

Eyes on Apple for ‘next big thing’ on Sept. 9

Agence France-Presse

SAN FRANCISCO - Apple gadget lovers hungered for the “next big thing” on Thursday after the iconic company fired off invites to a mystery unveiling on Sept. 9. Fueling rampant speculation regarding what the company has in store was the fact that the event will be held in the same performing arts center in Silicon Valley where late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs introduced the Macintosh computer in 1984.

Flint Center for the Performing Arts on a college campus near Apple’s headquarters in the California city of

Cupertino has greater seating capacity than venues the company has traditionally used for media events.

Images of the center posted online showed that a construction project seemingly related to the Apple event

was taking shape behind white walls as tall as the building.

A security team guarded the

scene.

“Clearly, putting the event in a larger venue and erecting some mysterious building sends cues it is something dramatic and important,” Forrester analyst Frank Gillett said of Apple’s preparations.

“There is symbolism in that it is the place where the original Mac was introduced.”

Apple has remained tight-lipped about what is in store at the event, opting instead to let anticipation, speculation and excitement focus attention on the iPhone, iPad, iPod and Macintosh maker.

“We are all trying to read the tea leaves,” Gillett said.

“But, September is an excellent time to introduce the iPhone, as well as any new wearable gadget.”

The famously secretive company offered scant clues in emailed invites that showed the Sept. 9 date in large numbers over the words: “Wish we could say more.”

Rumors about Apple’s plans have been swirling for months, with many observers convinced a new-generation iPhone with a larger screen is on the horizon.

Gartner analyst Van Baker was certain that Apple will unveil an iPhone 6 with a screen increased to 4.7 inches, and that odds were strong for a 5.5inch version of the smartphone.

Apple typically updates its product cycle in the second half of the year, getting a lift from holiday sales. Apple is fine-tuning a new operating system that will allow for mobile payments and includes a health platform, which could mesh nicely with an “iWatch” for tracking activity, sleep, pulse and more. The system, iOS8, is expected to be in the new iPhones.

District in Bali anticipates ISIS infiltration Antara

DENPASAR - The Karangasem district government in the island resort of Bali has collaborated with all organizations and religious institutions to anticipate the infiltration of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) ideology, noted an official.

“To anticipate possible infiltration of the ISIS ideology, we are strengthening communication with all organizations and religious institutions here,” Karangasem district government spokesman I. Putu Arawa stated on Tuesday.

He also called on all public elements in the district to jointly counter the movement of ISIS in Indonesia, particularly in Karan-

gasem district.

Arawa noted that all religious organizations and public elements in the district have signed a joint statement to reject the presence of the ISIS radical movement in the district and the country.

Head of the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) Retired Inspector General Ansyaad Mbai called on all elements of the nation to be alert regarding the presence

of the organization that embraces a radical ideology.

“There is no nation, religion, or community that requires the presence of ISIS,” Ansyaad Mbai affirmed in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, on Monday.

He remarked that ISIS has the potential to grow its terrorist base in certain pockets in Indonesia.

Therefore, the BNPT has urged community organizations, scholars,

religious leaders, including universities, to prevent the spread of the radical ideology in Indonesia.

“The BNPT has established partnerships with several universities, especially with Islamic universities in Indonesia,” he affirmed.

ISIS actions have drawn accusations between countries in the Middle East, and even some Indonesians have accused certain countries.

In fact, ISIS came into existence after acquiring weapons and controlling oil fields to capitalize on their movements.

“Iraq has accused Arab countries of supporting the ISIS. Others ac-

cuse that the west is behind ISIS. It is just an assumption without a strong foundation,” Ansyaad pointed out.

Southeast Sulawesi Police Chief Brigadier General Arkian Lubis remarked that the police are working hard to detect the presence of individuals that undermine the comfort and safety of the public.

“It is fair that ISIS targets police officers because they block the organization’s mission,” he remarked.

The Southeast Sulawesi police have continued to cooperate with all elements of the community in order to maintain safety and security.

Growing tourism industry shouldn’t harm environment

Antara

DENPASAR - The growing tourism industry in Bali should not harm the environment and culture, stated President

elect Joko “Jokowi” Widodo recently.

“I hope that the development of the tourism sector will not damage the local environment and culture,” Jokowi recently

noted here.

He also expressed hope that Bali will continue to remain a first-class tourism destination.

He underscored the importance of protecting the ecology while

developing the tourism industry.

“I heard that southern Bali is too crowded and is being pushed too far. The environment must not be harmed due to tourism,”

he emphasized.

Jokowi lauded the traditional cultural institutions of Bali for consistently preserving the Balinese tradition and culture.

Startups offer banking for smartphone users Associated Press

NEW YORK— The latest banks are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Startups, such as Moven and Simple, offer banking that’s designed specifically for smartphones, enabling users to track their spending on the go. Some things haven’t changed. Like traditional banks, customers open a checking account, get a debit card and are able to make check deposits and pay their bills.

Like many Internet banks before them, they have no maintenance or overdraft fees, there are no physical branches and depositing cash is a challenge. What makes Moven and Simple different is their apps.

Every time a debit card is swiped at

a store, a notification is sent to the phone letting the user know how much was spent and how much money is left in the account.

“It makes them mindful of what they spend,” says Alex Sion, president and co-founder of Moven, comparing it to fitness activity trackers. “What Fitbit and Nike Fuel does for your health, we do for your wallet.”

Both services automatically categorize purchases to provide an overview of what was spent on groceries, dining out or other areas over time. With Simple, users can set goals, such as saving up for a new bike, and the app will show how much needs to be saved every day to meet that goal.

Moven and Simple say most of their users are between the ages of 25 and 36, an age group that is often ignored by bigger banks who are more concerned with customers who have more money in their accounts. Portland, Oregon-based Simple, says it has more than 100,000 customers. Moven, which is based in New York, declined to say how many customers it has.

The two companies make money from fees merchants pay every time customers swipe their debit card.

The accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, but Moven and Simple don’t actually hold the money that customers deposit. Moven, which launched for public use in March,

partners with CBW Bank which holds the deposits. Simple, which was acquired by Spanish bank BBVA earlier this year, partners with The Bancorp Bank for its deposits.

The two services are not for everyone. Neither one of them offer savings accounts. But both Moven and Simple say that they may be offered in the future. Neither mobile bank lends money, so those seeking personal loans or a credit card need to look elsewhere.

But no-frills banking is enough for some.

John Carr opened a Simple account in 2012 when the service was still in being tested by a small group of customers. He quickly closed his

accounts at Bank of America where he was getting charged overdraft and ATM fees. He keeps a savings account at a military bank in Texas.

Carr, 35, has his pay sent directly to his Simple account. To pay his rent, he uses Simple’s bill pay function to send a paper check to his oldschool landlord every month. When he wanted to save $1,600 for a new laptop, he used the app to come up with a six-month budget.

The app also made him realize he was spending too much on fast food and gas. So he cut down on eating out and now rides the subway to get to his information technology job at a Los Angeles movie studio. “It’s saved me so much,” says Carr.

Illegal modern store remains in operation

Bali Post

AMLAPURA - Although having no permit, a modern store can still operate without any enforcement by municipal police of Karangasem. Actually the store had previously been closed by municipal police in September 2013. Having been disciplined, the store was even renamed from Indomaret to Toko Sudirman and so far still operates as usual.

Merchandiser of Toko Sudirman, I Wayan Adi Suradnya, claimed that the store had been renamed from Indomaret to Toko Sudirman since it was closed by the municipal police of Karangasem. Though having been renamed, he claimed to have not owned an operating permit. He admitted that his party still dared to operate because it still submitted the permit and there was no enforcement.

When confirmed to Chief of the Karangasem Municipal Police, Ketut Ardita, he claimed that his party would discipline it again next week.

He revealed that his staff had inspected up to two times, but when arriving at location the store suddenly closed. “We have sent reprimand letter for three times, but it is still in operation. Therefore, we will take action against the modern store,” he said when contacted on Monday (Sep 1).

His party would recheck the documents related to the renaming to Toko Sudirman.

The modern store had broken the Regent Regulation No. 29/2011 regarding the arrangement and development of traditional markets, shopping malls and modern stores. “The basic reference to prohibit is that only eight modern stores are allowed to operate in a subdistrict town. The modern store located in front of the SMA PGRI high school is the ninth, so that it cannot get a permit,” he explained.

According to Ardita, the problem was that the chained store had changed its display into a local store. Actually, in terms of management, it was still handled by modern chained store. “Tomorrow, we will do an inspection to crack down on the store,” he concluded. (dwa)

Surrogate offers clues into man with 16 babies Associated Press

BANGKOK — When the young Thai woman saw an online ad seeking surrogate mothers, it seemed like a life-altering deal: $10,000 to help a foreign couple that wanted a child but couldn’t conceive. Wassana, a lifetime resident of the slums, viewed it as a nine-month solution to her family’s debt. She didn’t ask many questions.

AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit

Wassana Meechamnarn, 32, a former surrogate mother, talks a police investigator to give her testimony as a witness in a surrogacy scandal involving a Japanese businessman who have fathered 16 babies at Lumpini police station in Bangkok, Thailand. Monday, Aug. 25, 2014.

In reality, there was no couple. There was instead a young man from Japan named Mitsutoki Shigeta, whom she met twice but who never spoke a word to her.

This same man — reportedly the son of a Japanese billionaire — would go on to make surrogate babies with 10 other women in Thailand, police say, spending more than half a million dollars to father at least 16 children for reasons still unclear.

The mystery surrounding Shigeta has riveted Thailand and become the focal point of a growing scandal over commercial surrogacy. The industry that catered to foreigners has thrived on semi-secrecy, deception and legal loopholes, and Thailand’s military government is vowing to shut it down. Wassana’s story, which she shared with The Associated Press on condition that her last name not be used to protect her family and 8-year-old son from embarrassment, offers clues into an extraordinarily complex puzzle that boils down to two questions: Who is Shigeta and why did he want so many babies?

Shigeta is being investigated for human trafficking and child exploitation, but Thai police say they haven’t found evidence of either. The 24-year-old, now the focus of an Asia-wide investigation, has said through a lawyer that he simply wanted a big family.

He has not been charged with any crime and is trying to get his children back — 12 are currently in Thailand being cared for by social services. His whereabouts are un-

known; he left Bangkok after police raided his condominium Aug. 5 and discovered nine babies living with nine nannies. Police say he sent DNA samples from Japan that prove he is the babies’ father.

Key to unraveling all of this are the women Shigeta paid to bear his children.

And Wassana, whose account has been corroborated by police, was his first.

Wassana’s Bangkok is not the city of skyscrapers and spas that most visitors see.

The petite, soft-spoken 32-year-old with a ninth grade education has spent her life in a trash-strewn slum, scraping by selling traditional Thai sweets from a food cart and sharing a mildew-stained tenement with seven relatives. At $6 a day, it was affordable until her late father’s medical bills drained the family’s savings. They couldn’t pay rent for a year and faced eviction.

So when her sister stumbled upon an ad seeking surrogates in 2012, Wassana didn’t hesitate.

“I thought that any parents who would spend so much money to get a baby must want him desperately,” she says. “The agent told me it was for a foreign couple.”

She assumed it was customary to keep the biological parents’ identities confidential. In a country where deference to authority is expected — especially for poor, uneducated women — she didn’t probe.

She wondered, though, who the baby’s mother was. “I don’t know if the doctor used my eggs or another woman’s,” she says. “Nobody told me.”

Russia’s gains cloud Obama’s assurances to Baltics

Wayan Sujana, one of the victim of the Malaysian Airlines MH 17.

Bali Post SINGARAJA - Still remember the crash incident of the MH17 owned by Malaysia Airlines a few weeks ago? Two bodies of the victims from Buleleng (Bali) ultimately could not be brought to respective funeral home. The body of Ketut Wiartini was known to have been buried in the windmill country (the Netherlands), while the ashes of Wayan Sujana have been brought to funeral home for further follow up with cremation ritual.

Profound grief afflicted the family when recalling the body of Ketut Wiartini. The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the RI and Malaysia Airlines apologized to the victim’s family. They were not managed to bring the ashes or body of Wiartini to funeral home.

It was revealed when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Malaysia Airlines already came secretly to the funeral home of Ketut Wiartini, Friday (Aug 29).

Komang Wikariyasa, younger brother of Ketut Wiartini, at his residence at Tukad Ampel hamlet, Kubutambahan village, said that

he was disappointed after hearing the two representatives. Results of the waiting period with family ended nil because the body or ashes of Wiartini failed to be taken home for further ritual procession.

“They came here to apologize for having missed so that my sister was already buried there,” he told Bali Post, Monday (Sep 1).

From the information given to the family, the body of Wiartini could have been identified and directly buried in the Netherlands. In the previous meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the RI and the representatives of Malaysia Airlines,

the family had left a message in order the victim’s body or ashes could be brought back to Buleleng.

When hearing the end of the long waiting, the family finally gave up the death of Wiartini, who had long been the backbone of the family. Based on the information received by relatives and colleagues of the deceased Wiartini in the Netherlands, the decision of burial in the Netherland was made on the request of her son. So, the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in the Netherland could not prevent it and could not bring the body to Bali. “Now, we have to give her up.

Actually it can still be negotiated.

In other words, if one’s home is disturbed, the owner may get angry. So, let her be peaceful there.

Besides, it was also the request of her son to bury his mother in the Netherlands,” he said.

At different location on Monday (Sep 1), a slightly more fortunate condition was experienced by the

family of the deceased Wayan Sujana. The victim’s ashes had been carried to the residence of the family at Banyuwedang hamlet, Pejarakan village, Gerokgak, through the assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and representative of Malaysia Airlines. On that day, the family immediately performed cremation ceremony and further procession to Janna Beach. Other than being closer to the house, the location was selected because it had special memories to the deceased Sujana where during his lifetime he often planted mangroves and preserved coral reef.

“We have released the death of our son sincerely, sir. After the ashes were brought home and found out if my son has died, my relief and sadness mixed together. He was immediately made a cremation ceremony in order that the soul of our son can be more peaceful,” said Ketut Ginastra accompanied by his wife Wayan Sukri. (kmb34)

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will travel to Russia’s backyard for the second time this year to assure nervous nations of his ironclad commitment to their security. But his objectives will be clouded by the West’s inability to halt the Russian aggression in Ukraine that has stoked fears in other former Soviet republics.

Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to only be increasing his provocations in the lead-up to Obama’s trip to Estonia for meetings with Baltic leaders and to Wales for a NATO summit. While Obama has warned that Putin could face more economic penalties, he also continues to resist calls for the U.S. to provide military support to help Ukrainian forces push back the Russian incursion.

The president’s response to the Ukraine crisis is just one element of a broader foreign policy approach that is drawing criticism from both opponents and allies who fear the White House is being too tentative in the face of global threats.

“I think Putin has sized up the West and figured that the most difficult sanctions against Russia and the arms necessary for the Ukrainians to be able to defend themselves

is not coming from the West, and we have to prove him wrong,” said Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Eugene Rumer, a former U.S. intelligence officer for Russia, said the inability of the U.S. and Europe to stop Putin so far is compounding fears in the countries near Russia’s borders. “They see Western responses as insufficient, which adds to their concerns,” said Rumer, who now runs the Russia and Eurasia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

The crisis between Russia and Ukraine has raised the stakes for this week’s NATO summit. Obama will press member states to increase their defense spending, and the alliance is expected to agree on plans to boost training missions and other military commitments in Central and Eastern European countries.

“We will see persistent rotation, persistent exercises to ensure that Estonia and that other countries in Central and Eastern Europe are provided the reassurance from NATO and the presence of NATO needed to meet their security needs,” said Charles Kupchan, the White House senior director for Europe.

NATO leaders this week will be asked to approve creation of a high-

readiness force and the stockpiling of military equipment and supplies in Eastern Europe to help protect member nations there against potential Russian aggression, the alliance’s secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said Monday. Analysts said member states near Russia’s borders will be particularly concerned about the level of U.S. military involvement in the expanded efforts.

“If there’s anything that the Baltics do trust within NATO, it’s a U.S. commitment,” said Kathleen Hicks, a former Pentagon official who now chairs the international studies department at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “So they will be pushing hard that that NATO contingent will have a heavy U.S. signal in it.” While Ukraine is not a NATO member, newly elected President Petro Poroshenko was scheduled to attend the summit.

Before arriving in Wales for the NATO meetings, Obama will make a symbolic show of Western support for the Baltics by traveling to Estonia.

Officials say he will repeat the assurances he made during a trip to Poland earlier this year, where he reiterated the U.S. commitment to Article 5 of the NATO charter, which states that an armed attack against one member state is to be considered an attack on the entire alliance.

Police officers arrested in Malaysian not on duty

BUSINESS Austerity debate flares as Europe recovery fades

Antara

JAKARTA - Two Indonesian police officers arrested in Kuching had no order to cross the border to Sarawak, Malaysia, from West Kalimantan, the State Police headquarters said.

Adj. Sr. Comr. Idha Endri Prastiono and chief brig. MH Harahap were arrested by the Malaysian Royal Police (PDRM) on alleged drug trafficking.

Associated Press

FRANKFURT — Europe’s economic recovery is in danger. Governments are under pressure to save it, but struggling with political obstacles and disagreement among themselves over what to do.

Instead, the region is pinning its hopes — once again — on the European Central Bank, which is expected to launch new stimulus measures if the economy gets any worse.

Europe’s lack of growth is looming larger and larger, however, and the ECB says it can’t save the economy alone.

For more than five years since the eurozone hit turbulence over too much debt in 2009, governments’ answer has been to raise taxes and restrain spending.

And there’s been some progress. Deficits have shrunk, and countries that needed bailout loans are slowly getting their act together.

But second quarter growth was zero, after only four quarters of measly expansion. While unemployment in the United States has fallen to 6.2 percent from 10 percent at its peak in Oct. 2009, Europe’s is at 11.5 percent — still near last summer’ 12 percent. The risk is that the eurozone remains stagnant for years — bad news not just for its people but also its three major trading partners: the U.S., Britain and China.

As worries spread, the debate over austerity versus growth is sharpening again.

EU leaders will meet Oct. 6 to discuss growth, while the ECB will hold a policy meeting Thursday at which it is expected to flag its willingness to announce more stimulus such as bond purchases.

ECB President Mario Draghi is ringing the alarm.

He says the central bank can’t do it all alone and that governments should dial back austerity, within EU rules aimed at restraining deficits. “It would be helpful for the overall stance of policy if fiscal policy could play a greater role alongside monetary policy, and I believe there is scope for this,” Draghi said in a speech last week. Government spending can help boost growth by providing demand when the private sector is struggling.

Draghi’s not the budget boss, however.

Each of the eurozone’s 18 member governments decides its own spending. Germany, Europe’s biggest economic and political power, and Chancellor Angela Merkel are sticking with the emphasis on austerity.

Countries with extremely high debt, such Italy, are under pressure to keep the lid on spending.

Obama: ‘Revving’ economy calls for higher wages Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — President Barack Obama renewed his push for Congress to raise the U.S. minimum wage Monday in a buoyant accounting of the economy’s “revving” performance, delivered on behalf of Democrats opening their fall campaigns for the midterm congressional elections. “America deserves a raise,” he told a union crowd in Milwaukee, vowing to keep a hard sell on Congress in much the way he once courted his wife. “I just wore her down,” he cracked.

Timing his push to Labor Day, the traditional start of the autumn campaign, Obama aggressively drew attention to recent economic gains, setting aside past caution on that subject.

“By almost every measure the American economy and American workers are better off than when I took office,” he said, rattling off a string of improving economic indicators even while acknowledging not all people are benefiting. “The engines,” he said, “are revving a little louder.”

It was, at least indirectly, a pep talk for Democrats facing tough races in a nation still gripped with economic anxieties.

The emphasis on the minimum wage is designed to draw campaign contrasts with

Republicans, many of whom maintain that an increase would hurt small businesses and slow down hiring. No one expects Congress to act on it before the November elections.

Despite the absence of a federal increase, 13 states raised their minimum wages at the beginning of this year. Those states have added jobs at a faster pace than those that did not raise the wage, providing a counterpoint to a Congressional Budget Office report earlier this year that projected that a higher minimum wage of $10.10 an hour could cost the nation 500,000 jobs.

Until now, Obama and his White House aides had been reluctant to draw too much attention to positive economic trends, worried that some may prove illusory or that, even if they hold, many working Americans continue

to live on the edge of poverty and take no comfort in the upswing.

But White House officials believe it is time to highlight recent improvements, in part to strengthen a difficult political environment for Democrats and to counter public perceptions that are eroding the president’s public approval. Officials say Obama’s most compelling case is to compare the economy now to what he inherited in 2009 in the aftermath of a near Wall Street meltdown.

The White House is encouraging Democrats to draw attention to the recovery as they head into the November mid-term elections.

In an August memo to House and Senate Democrats, Obama’s top two economic advisers underscored the positive news: more than 200,000 jobs created per month for six consecutive months, a six-year high in auto sales, second-quarter economic growth that exceeded expectations and an expanding manufacturing sector.

The unemployment rate stands at 6.2 percent, dropping 1.1 points over the past year, and the stock market has nearly tripled in five years.

of their superiors,” chief spokesman of the State Police headquarter Insp. Gen. Ronny F Sompie said on Tuesday.

Ronny said from initial information received by the State Police, no drug was found when the two were nabbed in Kuching.

“They carried no drug when they were arrested, but PDRM investi-

gators already had enough initial evidence to arrest them in line with the law in Malaysia,” he said.

The Malaysian police are still investigating the case and the process of investigation could last for seven times 24 hours, he said.

The Malaysian police are given seven times 24 hours to determine whether the charges against criminal suspects are valid or not, he said.

Drug offense is an extraordinary crime in Malaysia, therefore, investigations of the case is handled by PDRM in its head quarters in Kuala

Lumpur.

Ronny said the West Kalimantan deputy police chief and regional police chief detective are still in Kuching for coordination and to see what they could do to deal with the case.

“Coordination is also made with the Indonesian Consulate General in Kuching, with the help of the Indonesian embassy in Malaysia.

We also have police attache there to help any Indonesian needing assistance in that country,” he said.

He said for the time being only coordination could be made

pending the result of investigations by PDRM of the case involving the West Kalimantan police officers.

He said coordination by the Indonesian Police and their Malaysian counterparts through a team from West Kalimantan police sent to that country is to see how far the two officers were involved in alleged drug traffic.

Idha Endri was former chief of a sub-directorate at the Drug Detective Directorate and MH Harahap is a member of the Entikong district police.

French journalists held in Papua ‘likely to face trial’ Agence France-Presse

JAYAPURA - Two French journalists arrested in Indonesia’s Papua while reporting on the separatist movement are likely to go on trial, their lawyer said Tuesday, with the pair facing up to five years in jail.

Thomas Dandois and Valentine Bourrat were detained at the start of August while making a documentary for Franco-German television channel Arte in the restive eastern region.

They are accused of breaking immigration laws -- as they had tourist, not journalist, visas -- and police said previously if found guilty they could be jailed for up to five years.

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.

Foreign reporters detained for illegal reporting in Papua have in the past been swiftly deported.

However Aristo Pangaribuan, the lawyer for the French journalists, said Tuesday that a trial was looking likely.

“There is a huge possibility that both of them will go into trial,” he told AFP in an email.

Gardu Ditiro Tampubolon, the immigration chief in Jayapura, the capital of Papua province, said there was “strong evidence” against the pair.

“We are certain they have

committed an immigration violation,” said Tampubolon, whose department is investigating the journalists. The pair are being held at an immigration facility in Jayapura.

It was not clear when a trial might start but Tampubolon said that investigators would likely submit in two weeks a case file to prosecutors, who will have the final decision on whether the case proceeds to court.

After the file is submitted, it would still take some time before a trial begins.

Under the Indonesian legal system, suspects are often detained without charge for lengthy periods while authorities complete investigations. Suspects are only formally charged in court at the start of a trial.

Tampubolon said the pair had admitted to breaking visa rules.

“They told us they had no idea there was such a regulation in the first place,” he said.

“But the main point is, they have admitted to their wrongdoing and have been very cooperative and respectful during the investigation process.”

Dandois was detained at a hotel in the city of Wamena with members of separatist group the Free Papua Movement (OPM), and Bourrat was detained shortly afterwards.

The OPM has been at the forefront of the fight against the central government in the resource-rich but poor, ethnically Melanesian region.

Indonesia’s first female provincial leader, and head of one of the country’s most powerful political dynasties, was jailed for four years Monday for bribing a top judge over an election dispute.

Ratu Atut sentences for four years Agence France-Presse

JAKARTA - Indonesia’s first female provincial leader, and head of one of the country’s most powerful political dynasties, was jailed for four years Monday for bribing a top judge over an election dispute.

The case of Ratu Atut Chosiyah has transfixed even graft-weary Indonesia since her arrest last year for giving kickbacks to the constitutional court’s then chief justice, Akil Mochtar.

Her family dominates wealthy Banten province on the main island of Java, controlling five of its eight districts. It is one of several local political dynasties that have flourished since the 1998 downfall of dictator Suharto.

Judges at a special anti-corrup-

tion court in Jakarta found the 52year-old guilty of bribing Mochtar with one billion rupiah ($85,000) to annul a local election result in Banten that went against one of her close associates.

She was sentenced to four years in jail, lighter than the 10-year term sought by prosecutors. She was also ordered to pay a fine of 200 million rupiah.

“Clearly it’s not fair to me,” said Chosiyah, who has been in custody since her arrest, after the verdict was handed down.

“I’m the victim.”

Prosecutors said at an earlier hearing that the judge was asked to annul the result during a meeting in Singapore, and the constitutional court later did so.

A main role of the court is ruling

on election disputes.

The governor’s brother, Tubagus Chaeri Wardana, was jailed for five years in June for plotting to bribe Mochtar to influence his rulings on election disputes in Banten, after a separate trial.

Despite the scandal, the governor’s family remain powerful in the province.

Mochtar was jailed for life in June for accepting more than $5 million in bribes to influence rulings on election disputes, linked to the case of Chosiyah and a series of others.

NGO Transparency International ranked Indonesia 114th out of 177 countries and territories in its annual corruption perceptions index last year. A number one ranking means the least corrupt.

Iran unveils new surfaceto-air missile, radars

Associated Press Writer

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran on Tuesday unveiled a new surface-to-air missile and two radar systems it claims will boost the country’s defense capabilities.

Air defense chief Gen. Farzad Esmaili said the Talash-3, or Endeavor-3 missile will enable Iranian forces to “shoot down any hostile target,” even at high altitudes.

Speaking on state TV, he said the missile was successfully test-fired recently. He did not describe its range.

Tehran regularly announces military advances that cannot be independently verified.

The general also inaugurated two radar systems — Arash-2, tasked

with detecting miniature drones at a distance of 150 kilometers (93 miles), and also Kayhan, which he said was capable of detecting cruise missiles and drones.

Another new system inaugurated on Tuesday enables Iran to automatically process information on civilian airliners using Iranian airspace.

The number of international civilian flights that pass through Iranian airspace has doubled in recent months, reaching some 900 over

an average 24-hour period. The increase is likely a result of airlines changing routes to avoid nearby countries undergoing conflict such as Iraq, Syria and Ukraine.

Iran launched a homegrown defense industry in 1992 that produces light and heavy weapons ranging from mortars to tanks and submarines. It has surface-to-surface missiles with a range of about 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles), enough to reach Israel and U.S. military bases in the region.

Liberian Ebola survivor praises experimental drug

Associated Press

MONROVIA, Liberia — A Liberian health worker who recovered from Ebola after receiving an experimental drug urged the manufacturer to speed up its production and send it to Africa, while crowds celebrated in the streets Saturday after authorities reopened a slum that had been barricaded for more than a week to try to contain the disease.

Physician’s assistant Kyndy Kobbah was expected to be released from hospital Saturday after she survived Ebola, which has been fatal in more than half the cases sweeping West Africa. Kobbah contracted the disease while working at a government-run hospital north of the capital.

In an interview with The Associated Press before her release, she said when she informed her family that she had been cured, the home

exploded with joy “and the house is on fire right now” with celebration.

“I am very fine and all right, glory be to God,” she said. “I trusted God that I was going to be healed.”

Kobbah urged the manufacturer of the experimental drug known as ZMapp to step up production. The company has said that all its supplies are exhausted and it will take months to make more. “They need to make more Zmapp and send to us,” she said.

Doctors have said there is no way to know whether ZMapp made a difference or if survivors like Kobbah recovered on their own, as about 45 percent of people infected in this outbreak have. The drug had never been tested in humans before it was given to two Americans who were infected with Ebola in Liberia. They survived Ebola and were released from an Atlanta hospital.

However, a study released online

Friday by the journal Nature found that ZMapp healed all 18 monkeys infected with the deadly virus.

Meanwhile, tensions diminished Saturday in the West Point neighborhood of Liberia’s capital after authorities lifted a blockade that had sparked unrest. Residents living in the area had feared running out of food and safe water on the peninsula.

Liberia’s president had ordered the barricade on Aug. 19 after West Point residents stormed an Ebola health center several days earlier.

Residents said they did not want sick people being brought into the community, although those staying at the center were only under observation during a 21-day incubation period.

Amid the melee, some protesters made off with blood-stained mattresses and other materials that could potentially spread the Ebola virus.

Anti-China group nabbed for planned Manila attacks

EFT CENTER BALI BENGKEL EMOSI

Associated Press

MANILA — Philippine authorities said Tuesday that they arrested three men linked to a group that was planning to set off firebombs at Manila’s international airport and a major mall in the city to protest the government’s alleged “soft” stance in its territorial dispute with China. The military, however, downplayed the planned attacks, saying the men were just seeking attention.

The leader of the group and two other men were arrested Monday with four homemade incendiary devices found inside their car at one of the airport’s parking lots, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said. Government agents, who were tipped off by an informant, said the men planned to set off one bomb at a parking lot restroom and the three others inside one of the country’s biggest shopping malls, which has ethnic Chinese owners.

The territorial dispute between the Philippines and China has been simmering for years and Manila has occasionally filed diplomatic protests against alleged Chinese incursions into areas it claims.

The Philippines filed a case last year with the Arbitral Tribunal in The Hague, questioning China’s massive territorial claims over nearly the entire South China Sea, angering Beijing.

De Lima said the “utra-rightist” but “misguided group” planned also on Monday the “strafing” of the Chinese Embassy in Manila and a building owned by a company operating a power plant that allegedly employed Chinese workers illegally.

“They are not content, they are frustrated over the stance of the government against China, which to them is very soft,” de Lima said. “They want this administration to espouse a

From page 1 He pointed out that when Jusuf Kalla was a vice president in the previous term he started using batik in formal occasion and was then followed by the others. In Denpasar, Mayor Rai Mantra pioneered the use of endek in formal and informal events in Denpasar. “It was a small part of policy that can kindle the love for domestic products. In essence, the love to the use of domestic products must continue to be raised,” he said while adding that Japan could be used as another example.

Citizen of the Japan much more loved domestic products than imported products. It happened because of its government policy. For example, first-class products were marketed a home and in the member of the G7 or developed countries and second-class products were exported to other countries such as Asia, Europe and America. Meanwhile, the third-class products were exported to developing countries, including Indonesia.

“What happens in our country is on the contrary. The first-class products are exported, while the inferior products are marketed in the country.

By all means, this also causes domestic consumers, especially the rich, reluctant to use or consume domestic products. They would be slightly embarrassed when using domestic products,” he concluded.

According to him, if all the people of Indonesia used domestic products with their awareness amidst the swift flow of imported products from overseas, indirectly such a great consumption would increase the revenue of local entrepreneurs and even the national income. (kmb27)

tougher stance in its dispute with China.” The Chinese Embassy urged the Philippine government take “effective measures” to ensure the security of its facilities and prevent attacks against its diplomatic staff and citizens in the country. “We ask the government to conduct a thorough investigation into this case,” the embassy said in a statement.

De Lima said the men would be charged with possession of explosive materials, a non-bailable offense. The Justice Department also was considering filing conspiracy to commit terrorism charges against the three, she said, adding that there were other members of the group and the investigation was ongoing. She said the group considers China and wealthy ethnic Chinese like the owners of the mall as enemies.

Nishikori works late to reach U.S. Open quarter-finals Reuters

NEW YORK - Japan’s Kei Nishikori outlasted fifth seeded Canadian Milos Raonic 4-6 7-6 (4) 6-7 (6) 7-5 6-4 to move into the quarter-finals of the U.S. Open on Tuesday, equalling the record for latest match ever played at the year’s final grand slam.

Raonic and the 10th seeded Nishikori stepped onto the court for the last match of the evening at the Arthur Ashe Stadium to a near full house on Monday evening.

The two players exited four hours and 19 minutes later in the wee hours of Tuesday morning at 2:26 am having contested what was the joint latest finish ever at the U.S. Open.

The finishing time matches two other marathon contests played at Flushing Meadows by Philipp Kohlscheiber and John Isner in 2012 and Mats Wilander and Mi-

kael Pernfors in 1993.

The match was also the longest of the tournament this year, one minute longer than the 4:18 match played in the first round between Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu and Luxembourg’s Gilles Muller.

With only a few thousand spectators sprinkled across the massive stadium, Nishikori made the decisive breakthrough when he broke Raonic to go up 3-2 in the fifth set then consolidated with a love-hold and grimly fought off challenges by the big-hitting Canadian, who fired 35 aces at his Japanese opponent.

“I was down 2-1 in the third it was really tight and it was really tough,” said Nishikori. “He had great serve I just tried played one point at a time and keep fighting.”

Nishikokri will next meet Swiss third seed Stan Wawrinka, who took a much quicker path to the last eight beating Spain’s Tommy Robredo 7-5 4-6 7-6(7) 6-2.

Spain, Greece move to 3-0, Senegal upsets Croatia Associated Press

Spain and Greece are headed to the round of 16, and Senegal is in position to join them after shaking up Group B with an upset Monday at the Basketball World Cup. The Spanish earned a trip to their capital by routing Brazil in a battle of unbeatens to take the lead in Group A, while Greece clinched the first spot in Madrid by improving to 3-0 earlier in the day. The U.S. was off, a night after rallying from a halftime deficit to beat Turkey.

Pau Gasol of the Chicago Bulls had 26 points and nine rebounds for Spain in its 82-63 victory over Brazil in Granada. The hosts had already routed Iran and Egypt by a combined 67 points, but have difficult first-round games remaining against France and Serbia following Tuesday’s rest day.

Greece matched Spain for the overall best record by beating Puerto Rico 90-79 in Seville, and has won each of its games by double digits. The Greeks, who needed a wild card into the tournament, will next face a Croatia team that was stunned 77-75 Sunday by Senegal.

That dropped the Croatians (2-1) into a three-way tie for second with Argentina and the Senegalese, who pulled off the kind of surprising victory that Ukraine coach Mike Fratello predicted there would be

more of a day earlier.

“There are going to be a number of upsets in this tournament, I think, in the four groups, because there is such balance and a team that loses one night is going to come back the next night and play great,” he said after Finland rebounded from its 59-point loss to the U.S. by beating his team.

The Americans avoided what would have been the biggest upset by beating Turkey 98-77 on Sunday, pulling away after trailing 40-35 at halftime and leading only 66-60 after three quarters. They return Tuesday to face New Zealand, which is 0-2 but was beating Turkey for nearly most of its opening game before faltering down the stretch.

“I saw the Turkey game, but I was watching Turkey when I was watching, and it looked like New Zealand should have won, or was in a good position,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “So if they had a chance to beat Turkey, they must be pretty good.”

Group D was also off Monday.

Those teams are back in action Tuesday, while Groups A and B are off. Every team plays Wednesday and Thursday to wrap up pool play, with the round of 16 beginning Saturday in Madrid and Barcelona.

English clubs lead the way in summer spending spree Reuters

LONDON - English Premier League soccer clubs spent a record 835 million pounds ($1.4 billion) on hiring players during the summer transfer window as they reinvested cash from the latest round of broadcast deals. That total was almost double the 425 million paid out by teams in Spain’s La Liga, the next highest spending country, according to figures released by business services group Deloitte on Tuesday.

The Premier League generates more money than any domestic soccer competition while Spain is home to Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two clubs who enjoy the highest revenues thanks to the way television cash is distributed. Manchester United, English champions a record 20 times, spent around 150 million pounds as new manager Louis van Gaal tries to ensure there is no repeat of last season’s disappointing seventh place finish.

Teams in Europe’s main leagues had until late on Monday to finalise their squads for the next few months, leading to frenzied trading in the final few hours of the transfer window.

Clubs cannot buy new players again until January.

“We continue to see the increased resources that Premier League clubs enjoy, as a result of improved broadcast deals, translate into investment in players,” said Deloitte’s Dan Jones. He warned clubs of the need to ensure they did not overspend in the quest for a place in the European Champions League or to retain their

spot in the Premier League. “The key challenge remains pursuing their ambitions responsibly,” he said.

“We hope that while increased revenues continue to allow the league to attract top players, they will also result in a more profitable picture across the league in the years to come.”

TV Competition

Competition in Britain between BSkyB and BT has driven up the value of television rights, while the Premier League also benefits from lucrative TV deals around the rest of the world. The average Premier League team received an additional 25 million pounds in TV money in 2013-14, the first fruits of a new three-year agreement.

English clubs are confident that TV revenues will remain buoyant in future contracts and have spent accordingly. “There is this feeling that they can spend today based on what they will get tomorrow,” said Simon Chadwick, professor of sports busi-

ness at Coventry University in central England. He also said the World Cup in Brazil this summer had also driven the market, providing a showcase for the top players.

“In the aftermath of every World Cup, you always get this spike in transfer activity,” he said. Two of the biggest headline makers from the World Cup moved to Spain, deals which helped to finance other moves in a ripple effect across the continent.

Colombian James Rodriguez, top goalscorer at the World Cup, joined Real Madrid from Monaco for some 80 million euros ($105 million), while Uruguay’s Luis Suarez, thrown out of the tournament for biting an opponent, moved to Barcelona from Liverpool for around 65 million pounds.

Away from England and Spain, spending by teams in other top European leagues was more muted. It totalled 260 million pounds in Italy’s Serie A, 250 million in the German Bundesliga and only 100 million in France’s Ligue 1.

Iniesta to miss Spain’s 1st European qualifier Associated Press

MADRID — Andres Iniesta has withdrawn from Spain’s squad ahead of their upcoming friendly against France and their first 2016 European Championship qualifier. The Spanish national team says Iniesta will miss Thursday’s friendly in Paris and its qualifier against Macedonia on Sept. 8.

Iniesta missed Barcelona’s 1-0 win at Villarreal on Sunday after feeling pain in his left knee.

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has decided not to replace the midfielder, leaving him with a 22-player squad.

Del Bosque has a number of options in midfield with Jorge “Koke” Resurreccion, Cesc Fabregas, Santi Cazorla and debutante Raul Garcia all available.

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — The Ivory Coast government decided late Monday to allow Sierra Leone’s team to enter the country, giving the go-ahead for an African Cup qualifier after fears over Ebola put the game and Ivory Coast’s place in the tournament in doubt.

The Ivorian government an-

nounced the decision late into the night after a meeting of its National Security Council.

Ivory Coast has restrictions on travel from countries affected by the deadly virus like Sierra Leone and initially said its squad would not be allowed in. Ebola has killed more than 1,500 people in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria and has now appeared in a fifth

West African country, Senegal, in the worst outbreak ever recorded.

The Confederation of African Football has temporarily moved games out of Guinea and Sierra Leone but insisted Saturday’s match should go ahead as planned in the Ivorian capital Abidjan or Ivory Coast would forfeit its place in the African Cup of Nations.

Valencia agree to take Negredo on loan from Man City

Reuters

MADRID - Valencia have sealed a deal to take Spain forward Alvaro Negredo on loan from Manchester City.

“Valencia have reached an agreement with Manchester City for the loan, with an obligatory option to buy, of the Spanish international forward Alvaro Negredo,” the club said on their website (www.valen-

The Spanish top-flight outfit, who are in the process of being taken over by Singapore billionaire Peter Lim, did not say how long the loan deal was for.

Negredo, 29, joined City from Sevilla in July 2013 but after an impressive start his form tailed off and he missed out on a place in Spain’s squad for the 2014 World Cup.

ROME — Diego Maradona and Roberto Baggio were among a host of former soccer stars who played in an interreligious charity match backed by Pope Francis on Monday night.

The Argentine pope, an avid soccer fan, did not attend the match but had an audience with both teams earlier in the day and also broadcast a message on the big screens at Rome’s Olympic Stadium ahead of kickoff.

The idea arose during an audience former Argentina great Javier Zanetti had with Francis last year and. As well as promoting peace, the game raised money for at-risk kids.

“I thank you because you immediately adhered to my desire to see champions and coaches from various countries and different religions facing each other in a sporting match, to demonstrate fraternity and friendship,” Francis said in his audience with the players. “Tonight’s match will certainly be an occasion to collect funds and support, but above all to reflect on the universal values which football and sport in general can promote:

MILAN — AC Milan had a busy final day of the transfer window as it completed the signings of Marco van Ginkel and Giacomo Bonaventura but saw the deal for Jonathan Biabiany collapse at the last moment. The 21-year-old Van Ginkel has been brought in on a one-year loan deal from Chelsea, joining former Stamford Bridge teammate Fernando Torres — who signed a two-year loan deal at the weekend.

“I am very happy, Milan is a great club where many Dutch players have played and some big names,” Van Ginkel said. “I know Nigel De Jong from my experiences with the national team, I spoke to him about Milan and he said excellent things about the club.” Van Ginkel joined Chelsea last summer from Vitesse Arnhem but the Netherlands midfielder made just four appearances due to a cruciate ligament injury.

Biabiany had agreed to the move from Parma and had already posed in the Milan shirt and scarf, but the

Rossoneri later released a statement saying the move had fallen through after Cristian Zaccardo — who was part of the reported 4 million-euro ($5.25-million) deal — failed to agree personal terms with Parma.

“There was an agreement with Parma and Biabiany, but Zaccardo turned down that destination too,” Milan vice president Adriano Galliani said. “We thought then that we needed another player and we decided on Bonaventura. He’s a great player but also a great person. When he signed he started crying.”

The 25-year-old Bonaventura, who has one Italy cap, progressed through the ranks at Atalanta and has now signed a five-year contract at Milan. Galliani said Milan has funded the move for Bonaventura with the transfer free paid by Benfica for talented teenager Bryan Cristante, who wanted more playing time.

AC Milan also signed Diego Lopez, Alex, Pablo Armero and Jeremey Menez in the offseason but sold star striker Mario Balotelli to Liverpool. Fiorentina was also busy on an otherwise quiet

transfer deadline day in the rest of Serie A. It completed the loan signings of England defender Micah Richards from Manchester City and Slovenian midfielder Jasmin Kurtic from Sassuolo, as well as permanent deals for Croatian players Ricardo Bagadur and Milan Badelj.

Midfielder Badelj, who was part of Croatia’s World Cup squad, joined for a reported 5 million-euro ($6.6 million) fee from Hamburg, while teenage defender Bagadur signed from HNK Rijeka. Roma has also signed a player on loan from the Premier League with Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa moving from Newcastle.

The capital club has paid 1 million euros ($1.3 million) for Yanga-Mbiwa with the option to buy the France defender for 5.5 million ($7.2 million) euros at the end of the season. Defender Alessio Romagnoli has gone on loan to Sampdoria. Elsewhere, former Juventus forward Amauri has moved from Parma to Torino, where he will be reunited up front with Fabio Quagliarella.

Nishikori works late to reach U.S. Open quarter-finals Reuters

NEW YORK - Japan’s Kei Nishikori outlasted fifth seeded Canadian Milos Raonic 4-6 7-6 (4) 6-7 (6) 7-5 6-4 to move into the quarter-finals of the U.S. Open on Tuesday, equalling the record for latest match ever played at the year’s final grand slam.

Raonic and the 10th seeded Nishikori stepped onto the court for the last match of the evening at the Arthur Ashe Stadium to a near full house on Monday evening.

The two players exited four hours and 19 minutes later in the wee hours of Tuesday morning at 2:26 am having contested what was the joint latest finish ever at the U.S. Open.

The finishing time matches two other marathon contests played at Flushing Meadows by Philipp Kohlscheiber and John Isner in 2012 and Mats Wilander and Mi-

The match was also the longest of the tournament this year, one minute longer than the 4:18 match played in the first round between Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu and Luxembourg’s Gilles Muller.

Pau Gasol of the Chicago Bulls had 26 points and nine rebounds for Spain in its 82-63 victory over Brazil in Granada. The hosts had already routed Iran and Egypt by a combined 67 points, but have difficult first-round games remaining against France and Serbia following Tuesday’s rest day.

Greece matched Spain for the overall best record by beating Puerto Rico 90-79 in Seville, and has won each of its games by double digits. The Greeks, who needed a wild card into the tournament, will next face a Croatia team that was stunned 77-75 Sunday by Senegal.

That dropped the Croatians (2-1) into a three-way tie for second with Argentina and the Senegalese, who pulled off the kind of surprising victory that Ukraine coach Mike Fratello predicted there would be

“There are going to be a number of upsets in this tournament, I think, in the four groups, because there is such balance and a team that loses one night is going to come back the next night and play great,” he said after Finland rebounded from its 59-point loss to the U.S. by beating his team.

The Americans avoided what would have been the biggest upset by beating Turkey 98-77 on Sunday, pulling away after trailing 40-35 at halftime and leading only 66-60 after three quarters. They return Tuesday to face New Zealand, which is 0-2 but was beating Turkey for nearly most of its opening game before faltering down the stretch.

“I saw the Turkey game, but I was watching Turkey when I was watching, and it looked like New Zealand should have won, or was in a good position,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “So if they had a chance to beat Turkey, they must be pretty good.”

Iran unveils new surfaceto-air missile, radars

Associated Press Writer

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran on Tuesday unveiled a new surface-to-air missile and two radar systems it claims will boost the country’s defense capabilities.

Air defense chief Gen. Farzad Esmaili said the Talash-3, or Endeavor-3 missile will enable Iranian forces to “shoot down any hostile target,” even at high altitudes.

Speaking on state TV, he said the missile was successfully test-fired recently. He did not describe its range.

Tehran regularly announces military advances that cannot be independently verified.

The general also inaugurated two radar systems — Arash-2, tasked

with detecting miniature drones at a distance of 150 kilometers (93 miles), and also Kayhan, which he said was capable of detecting cruise missiles and drones.

Another new system inaugurated on Tuesday enables Iran to automatically process information on civilian airliners using Iranian airspace.

The number of international civilian flights that pass through Iranian airspace has doubled in recent months, reaching some 900 over

an average 24-hour period. The increase is likely a result of airlines changing routes to avoid nearby countries undergoing conflict such as Iraq, Syria and Ukraine.

Iran launched a homegrown defense industry in 1992 that produces light and heavy weapons ranging from mortars to tanks and submarines. It has surface-to-surface missiles with a range of about 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles), enough to reach Israel and U.S. military bases in the region.

Liberian Ebola survivor praises experimental drug

Associated Press

MONROVIA, Liberia — A Liberian health worker who recovered from Ebola after receiving an experimental drug urged the manufacturer to speed up its production and send it to Africa, while crowds celebrated in the streets Saturday after authorities reopened a slum that had been barricaded for more than a week to try to contain the disease.

Physician’s assistant Kyndy Kobbah was expected to be released from hospital Saturday after she survived Ebola, which has been fatal in more than half the cases sweeping West Africa. Kobbah contracted the disease while working at a government-run hospital north of the capital.

In an interview with The Associated Press before her release, she said when she informed her family that she had been cured, the home

exploded with joy “and the house is on fire right now” with celebration.

“I am very fine and all right, glory be to God,” she said. “I trusted God that I was going to be healed.”

Kobbah urged the manufacturer of the experimental drug known as ZMapp to step up production. The company has said that all its supplies are exhausted and it will take months to make more. “They need to make more Zmapp and send to us,” she said.

Doctors have said there is no way to know whether ZMapp made a difference or if survivors like Kobbah recovered on their own, as about 45 percent of people infected in this outbreak have. The drug had never been tested in humans before it was given to two Americans who were infected with Ebola in Liberia. They survived Ebola and were released from an Atlanta hospital.

However, a study released online

Friday by the journal Nature found that ZMapp healed all 18 monkeys infected with the deadly virus.

Meanwhile, tensions diminished Saturday in the West Point neighborhood of Liberia’s capital after authorities lifted a blockade that had sparked unrest. Residents living in the area had feared running out of food and safe water on the peninsula.

Liberia’s president had ordered the barricade on Aug. 19 after West Point residents stormed an Ebola health center several days earlier.

Residents said they did not want sick people being brought into the community, although those staying at the center were only under observation during a 21-day incubation period.

Amid the melee, some protesters made off with blood-stained mattresses and other materials that could potentially spread the Ebola virus.

Anti-China group nabbed for planned Manila attacks

EFT CENTER BALI BENGKEL EMOSI

Associated Press

MANILA — Philippine authorities said Tuesday that they arrested three men linked to a group that was planning to set off firebombs at Manila’s international airport and a major mall in the city to protest the government’s alleged “soft” stance in its territorial dispute with China. The military, however, downplayed the planned attacks, saying the men were just seeking attention.

The leader of the group and two other men were arrested Monday with four homemade incendiary devices found inside their car at one of the airport’s parking lots, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said. Government agents, who were tipped off by an informant, said the men planned to set off one bomb at a parking lot restroom and the three others inside one of the country’s biggest shopping malls, which has ethnic Chinese owners.

The territorial dispute between the Philippines and China has been simmering for years and Manila has occasionally filed diplomatic protests against alleged Chinese incursions into areas it claims.

The Philippines filed a case last year with the Arbitral Tribunal in The Hague, questioning China’s massive territorial claims over nearly the entire South China Sea, angering Beijing.

De Lima said the “utra-rightist” but “misguided group” planned also on Monday the “strafing” of the Chinese Embassy in Manila and a building owned by a company operating a power plant that allegedly employed Chinese workers illegally.

“They are not content, they are frustrated over the stance of the government against China, which to them is very soft,” de Lima said. “They want this administration to espouse a

From page 1 He pointed out that when Jusuf Kalla was a vice president in the previous term he started using batik in formal occasion and was then followed by the others. In Denpasar, Mayor Rai Mantra pioneered the use of endek in formal and informal events in Denpasar. “It was a small part of policy that can kindle the love for domestic products. In essence, the love to the use of domestic products must continue to be raised,” he said while adding that Japan could be used as another example.

Citizen of the Japan much more loved domestic products than imported products. It happened because of its government policy. For example, first-class products were marketed a home and in the member of the G7 or developed countries and second-class products were exported to other countries such as Asia, Europe and America. Meanwhile, the third-class products were exported to developing countries, including Indonesia.

“What happens in our country is on the contrary. The first-class products are exported, while the inferior products are marketed in the country.

By all means, this also causes domestic consumers, especially the rich, reluctant to use or consume domestic products. They would be slightly embarrassed when using domestic products,” he concluded.

According to him, if all the people of Indonesia used domestic products with their awareness amidst the swift flow of imported products from overseas, indirectly such a great consumption would increase the revenue of local entrepreneurs and even the national income. (kmb27)

tougher stance in its dispute with China.” The Chinese Embassy urged the Philippine government take “effective measures” to ensure the security of its facilities and prevent attacks against its diplomatic staff and citizens in the country. “We ask the government to conduct a thorough investigation into this case,” the embassy said in a statement.

De Lima said the men would be charged with possession of explosive materials, a non-bailable offense. The Justice Department also was considering filing conspiracy to commit terrorism charges against the three, she said, adding that there were other members of the group and the investigation was ongoing. She said the group considers China and wealthy ethnic Chinese like the owners of the mall as enemies.

Police officers arrested in Malaysian not on duty

BUSINESS Austerity debate flares as Europe recovery fades

Antara

JAKARTA - Two Indonesian police officers arrested in Kuching had no order to cross the border to Sarawak, Malaysia, from West Kalimantan, the State Police headquarters said.

Adj. Sr. Comr. Idha Endri Prastiono and chief brig. MH Harahap were arrested by the Malaysian Royal Police (PDRM) on alleged drug trafficking.

“What is certain is that the two West Kalimantan police officers arrested in Kuching had no order to go to the Malaysian city. They had gone there without the knowledge

Associated Press

FRANKFURT — Europe’s economic recovery is in danger. Governments are under pressure to save it, but struggling with political obstacles and disagreement among themselves over what to do.

Instead, the region is pinning its hopes — once again — on the European Central Bank, which is expected to launch new stimulus measures if the economy gets any worse.

Europe’s lack of growth is looming larger and larger, however, and the ECB says it can’t save the economy alone.

For more than five years since the eurozone hit turbulence over too much debt in 2009, governments’ answer has been to raise taxes and restrain spending.

And there’s been some progress. Deficits have shrunk, and countries that needed bailout loans are slowly getting their act together.

But second quarter growth was zero, after only four quarters of measly expansion. While unemployment in the United States has fallen to 6.2 percent from 10 percent at its peak in Oct. 2009, Europe’s is at 11.5 percent — still near last summer’ 12 percent. The risk is that the eurozone remains stagnant for years — bad news not just for its people but also its three major trading partners: the U.S., Britain and China.

As worries spread, the debate over austerity versus growth is sharpening again.

EU leaders will meet Oct. 6 to discuss growth, while the ECB will hold a policy meeting Thursday at which it is expected to flag its willingness to announce more stimulus such as bond purchases.

ECB President Mario Draghi is ringing the alarm.

He says the central bank can’t do it all alone and that governments should dial back austerity, within EU rules aimed at restraining deficits. “It would be helpful for the overall stance of policy if fiscal policy could play a greater role alongside monetary policy, and I believe there is scope for this,” Draghi said in a speech last week. Government spending can help boost growth by providing demand when the private sector is struggling.

Draghi’s not the budget boss, however.

Each of the eurozone’s 18 member governments decides its own spending. Germany, Europe’s biggest economic and political power, and Chancellor Angela Merkel are sticking with the emphasis on austerity.

Countries with extremely high debt, such Italy, are under pressure to keep the lid on spending.

Obama: ‘Revving’ economy calls for higher wages Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — President Barack Obama renewed his push for Congress to raise the U.S. minimum wage Monday in a buoyant accounting of the economy’s “revving” performance, delivered on behalf of Democrats opening their fall campaigns for the midterm congressional elections. “America deserves a raise,” he told a union crowd in Milwaukee, vowing to keep a hard sell on Congress in much the way he once courted his wife. “I just wore her down,” he cracked.

Timing his push to Labor Day, the traditional start of the autumn campaign, Obama aggressively drew attention to recent economic gains, setting aside past caution on that subject.

“By almost every measure the American economy and American workers are better off than when I took office,” he said, rattling off a string of improving economic indicators even while acknowledging not all people are benefiting. “The engines,” he said, “are revving a little louder.”

It was, at least indirectly, a pep talk for Democrats facing tough races in a nation still gripped with economic anxieties.

The emphasis on the minimum wage is designed to draw campaign contrasts with

Republicans, many of whom maintain that an increase would hurt small businesses and slow down hiring. No one expects Congress to act on it before the November elections.

Despite the absence of a federal increase, 13 states raised their minimum wages at the beginning of this year. Those states have added jobs at a faster pace than those that did not raise the wage, providing a counterpoint to a Congressional Budget Office report earlier this year that projected that a higher minimum wage of $10.10 an hour could cost the nation 500,000 jobs.

Until now, Obama and his White House aides had been reluctant to draw too much attention to positive economic trends, worried that some may prove illusory or that, even if they hold, many working Americans continue

to live on the edge of poverty and take no comfort in the upswing.

But White House officials believe it is time to highlight recent improvements, in part to strengthen a difficult political environment for Democrats and to counter public perceptions that are eroding the president’s public approval. Officials say Obama’s most compelling case is to compare the economy now to what he inherited in 2009 in the aftermath of a near Wall Street meltdown.

The White House is encouraging Democrats to draw attention to the recovery as they head into the November mid-term elections.

In an August memo to House and Senate Democrats, Obama’s top two economic advisers underscored the positive news: more than 200,000 jobs created per month for six consecutive months, a six-year high in auto sales, second-quarter economic growth that exceeded expectations and an expanding manufacturing sector.

The unemployment rate stands at 6.2 percent, dropping 1.1 points over the past year, and the stock market has nearly tripled in five years.

of their superiors,” chief spokesman of the State Police headquarter Insp. Gen. Ronny F Sompie said on Tuesday.

Ronny said from initial information received by the State Police, no drug was found when the two were nabbed in Kuching.

“They carried no drug when they were arrested, but PDRM investi-

gators already had enough initial evidence to arrest them in line with the law in Malaysia,” he said.

The Malaysian police are still investigating the case and the process of investigation could last for seven times 24 hours, he said.

The Malaysian police are given seven times 24 hours to determine whether the charges against criminal suspects are valid or not, he said.

Drug offense is an extraordinary crime in Malaysia, therefore, investigations of the case is handled by PDRM in its head quarters in Kuala

Lumpur.

Ronny said the West Kalimantan deputy police chief and regional police chief detective are still in Kuching for coordination and to see what they could do to deal with the case.

“Coordination is also made with the Indonesian Consulate General in Kuching, with the help of the Indonesian embassy in Malaysia.

We also have police attache there to help any Indonesian needing assistance in that country,” he said.

He said for the time being only coordination could be made

pending the result of investigations by PDRM of the case involving the West Kalimantan police officers.

He said coordination by the Indonesian Police and their Malaysian counterparts through a team from West Kalimantan police sent to that country is to see how far the two officers were involved in alleged drug traffic.

Idha Endri was former chief of a sub-directorate at the Drug Detective Directorate and MH Harahap is a member of the Entikong district police.

French journalists held in Papua ‘likely to face trial’ Agence France-Presse

JAYAPURA - Two French journalists arrested in Indonesia’s Papua while reporting on the separatist movement are likely to go on trial, their lawyer said Tuesday, with the pair facing up to five years in jail.

Thomas Dandois and Valentine Bourrat were detained at the start of August while making a documentary for Franco-German television channel Arte in the restive eastern region.

They are accused of breaking immigration laws -- as they had tourist, not journalist, visas -- and police said previously if found guilty they could be jailed for up to five years.

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.

Foreign reporters detained for illegal reporting in Papua have in the past been swiftly deported.

However Aristo Pangaribuan, the lawyer for the French journalists, said Tuesday that a trial was looking likely.

“There is a huge possibility that both of them will go into trial,” he told AFP in an email.

Gardu Ditiro Tampubolon, the immigration chief in Jayapura, the capital of Papua province, said there was “strong evidence” against the pair.

“We are certain they have

committed an immigration violation,” said Tampubolon, whose department is investigating the journalists. The pair are being held at an immigration facility in Jayapura.

It was not clear when a trial might start but Tampubolon said that investigators would likely submit in two weeks a case file to prosecutors, who will have the final decision on whether the case proceeds to court.

After the file is submitted, it would still take some time before a trial begins.

Under the Indonesian legal system, suspects are often detained without charge for lengthy periods while authorities complete investigations. Suspects are only formally charged in court at the start of a trial.

Tampubolon said the pair had admitted to breaking visa rules.

“They told us they had no idea there was such a regulation in the first place,” he said.

“But the main point is, they have admitted to their wrongdoing and have been very cooperative and respectful during the investigation process.”

Dandois was detained at a hotel in the city of Wamena with members of separatist group the Free Papua Movement (OPM), and Bourrat was detained shortly afterwards.

The OPM has been at the forefront of the fight against the central government in the resource-rich but poor, ethnically Melanesian region.

Indonesia’s first female provincial leader, and head of one of the country’s most powerful political dynasties, was jailed for four years Monday for bribing a top judge over an election dispute.

Ratu Atut sentences for four years Agence France-Presse

JAKARTA - Indonesia’s first female provincial leader, and head of one of the country’s most powerful political dynasties, was jailed for four years Monday for bribing a top judge over an election dispute.

The case of Ratu Atut Chosiyah has transfixed even graft-weary Indonesia since her arrest last year for giving kickbacks to the constitutional court’s then chief justice, Akil Mochtar.

Her family dominates wealthy Banten province on the main island of Java, controlling five of its eight districts. It is one of several local political dynasties that have flourished since the 1998 downfall of dictator Suharto.

Judges at a special anti-corrup-

tion court in Jakarta found the 52year-old guilty of bribing Mochtar with one billion rupiah ($85,000) to annul a local election result in Banten that went against one of her close associates.

She was sentenced to four years in jail, lighter than the 10-year term sought by prosecutors. She was also ordered to pay a fine of 200 million rupiah.

“Clearly it’s not fair to me,” said Chosiyah, who has been in custody since her arrest, after the verdict was handed down.

“I’m the victim.”

Prosecutors said at an earlier hearing that the judge was asked to annul the result during a meeting in Singapore, and the constitutional court later did so.

A main role of the court is ruling

on election disputes.

The governor’s brother, Tubagus Chaeri Wardana, was jailed for five years in June for plotting to bribe Mochtar to influence his rulings on election disputes in Banten, after a separate trial.

Despite the scandal, the governor’s family remain powerful in the province.

Mochtar was jailed for life in June for accepting more than $5 million in bribes to influence rulings on election disputes, linked to the case of Chosiyah and a series of others.

NGO Transparency International ranked Indonesia 114th out of 177 countries and territories in its annual corruption perceptions index last year. A number one ranking means the least corrupt.

Illegal modern store remains in operation

Bali Post

AMLAPURA - Although having no permit, a modern store can still operate without any enforcement by municipal police of Karangasem. Actually the store had previously been closed by municipal police in September 2013. Having been disciplined, the store was even renamed from Indomaret to Toko Sudirman and so far still operates as usual.

Merchandiser of Toko Sudirman, I Wayan Adi Suradnya, claimed that the store had been renamed from Indomaret to Toko Sudirman since it was closed by the municipal police of Karangasem. Though having been renamed, he claimed to have not owned an operating permit. He admitted that his party still dared to operate because it still submitted the permit and there was no enforcement.

When confirmed to Chief of the Karangasem Municipal Police, Ketut Ardita, he claimed that his party would discipline it again next week.

He revealed that his staff had inspected up to two times, but when arriving at location the store suddenly closed. “We have sent reprimand letter for three times, but it is still in operation. Therefore, we will take action against the modern store,” he said when contacted on Monday (Sep 1).

His party would recheck the documents related to the renaming to Toko Sudirman.

The modern store had broken the Regent Regulation No. 29/2011 regarding the arrangement and development of traditional markets, shopping malls and modern stores. “The basic reference to prohibit is that only eight modern stores are allowed to operate in a subdistrict town. The modern store located in front of the SMA PGRI high school is the ninth, so that it cannot get a permit,” he explained.

According to Ardita, the problem was that the chained store had changed its display into a local store. Actually, in terms of management, it was still handled by modern chained store. “Tomorrow, we will do an inspection to crack down on the store,” he concluded. (dwa)

Surrogate offers clues into man with 16 babies Associated Press

BANGKOK — When the young Thai woman saw an online ad seeking surrogate mothers, it seemed like a life-altering deal: $10,000 to help a foreign couple that wanted a child but couldn’t conceive. Wassana, a lifetime resident of the slums, viewed it as a nine-month solution to her family’s debt. She didn’t ask many questions.

AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit

Wassana Meechamnarn, 32, a former surrogate mother, talks a police investigator to give her testimony as a witness in a surrogacy scandal involving a Japanese businessman who have fathered 16 babies at Lumpini police station in Bangkok, Thailand. Monday, Aug. 25, 2014.

In reality, there was no couple. There was instead a young man from Japan named Mitsutoki Shigeta, whom she met twice but who never spoke a word to her.

This same man — reportedly the son of a Japanese billionaire — would go on to make surrogate babies with 10 other women in Thailand, police say, spending more than half a million dollars to father at least 16 children for reasons still unclear.

The mystery surrounding Shigeta has riveted Thailand and become the focal point of a growing scandal over commercial surrogacy. The industry that catered to foreigners has thrived on semi-secrecy, deception and legal loopholes, and Thailand’s military government is vowing to shut it down. Wassana’s story, which she shared with The Associated Press on condition that her last name not be used to protect her family and 8-year-old son from embarrassment, offers clues into an extraordinarily complex puzzle that boils down to two questions: Who is Shigeta and why did he want so many babies?

Shigeta is being investigated for human trafficking and child exploitation, but Thai police say they haven’t found evidence of either. The 24-year-old, now the focus of an Asia-wide investigation, has said through a lawyer that he simply wanted a big family.

He has not been charged with any crime and is trying to get his children back — 12 are currently in Thailand being cared for by social services. His whereabouts are un-

known; he left Bangkok after police raided his condominium Aug. 5 and discovered nine babies living with nine nannies. Police say he sent DNA samples from Japan that prove he is the babies’ father.

Key to unraveling all of this are the women Shigeta paid to bear his children.

And Wassana, whose account has been corroborated by police, was his first.

Wassana’s Bangkok is not the city of skyscrapers and spas that most visitors see.

The petite, soft-spoken 32-year-old with a ninth grade education has spent her life in a trash-strewn slum, scraping by selling traditional Thai sweets from a food cart and sharing a mildew-stained tenement with seven relatives. At $6 a day, it was affordable until her late father’s medical bills drained the family’s savings. They couldn’t pay rent for a year and faced eviction.

So when her sister stumbled upon an ad seeking surrogates in 2012, Wassana didn’t hesitate.

“I thought that any parents who would spend so much money to get a baby must want him desperately,” she says. “The agent told me it was for a foreign couple.”

She assumed it was customary to keep the biological parents’ identities confidential. In a country where deference to authority is expected — especially for poor, uneducated women — she didn’t probe.

She wondered, though, who the baby’s mother was. “I don’t know if the doctor used my eggs or another woman’s,” she says. “Nobody told me.”

Russia’s gains cloud Obama’s assurances to Baltics

Associated Press

Wayan Sujana, one of the victim of the Malaysian Airlines MH 17.

Bali Post SINGARAJA - Still remember the crash incident of the MH17 owned by Malaysia Airlines a few weeks ago? Two bodies of the victims from Buleleng (Bali) ultimately could not be brought to respective funeral home. The body of Ketut Wiartini was known to have been buried in the windmill country (the Netherlands), while the ashes of Wayan Sujana have been brought to funeral home for further follow up with cremation ritual.

Profound grief afflicted the family when recalling the body of Ketut Wiartini. The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the RI and Malaysia Airlines apologized to the victim’s family. They were not managed to bring the ashes or body of Wiartini to funeral home.

It was revealed when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Malaysia Airlines already came secretly to the funeral home of Ketut Wiartini, Friday (Aug 29).

Komang Wikariyasa, younger brother of Ketut Wiartini, at his residence at Tukad Ampel hamlet, Kubutambahan village, said that

he was disappointed after hearing the two representatives. Results of the waiting period with family ended nil because the body or ashes of Wiartini failed to be taken home for further ritual procession.

“They came here to apologize for having missed so that my sister was already buried there,” he told Bali Post, Monday (Sep 1).

From the information given to the family, the body of Wiartini could have been identified and directly buried in the Netherlands. In the previous meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the RI and the representatives of Malaysia Airlines,

the family had left a message in order the victim’s body or ashes could be brought back to Buleleng.

When hearing the end of the long waiting, the family finally gave up the death of Wiartini, who had long been the backbone of the family. Based on the information received by relatives and colleagues of the deceased Wiartini in the Netherlands, the decision of burial in the Netherland was made on the request of her son. So, the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in the Netherland could not prevent it and could not bring the body to Bali. “Now, we have to give her up.

Actually it can still be negotiated.

In other words, if one’s home is disturbed, the owner may get angry. So, let her be peaceful there.

Besides, it was also the request of her son to bury his mother in the Netherlands,” he said.

At different location on Monday (Sep 1), a slightly more fortunate condition was experienced by the

family of the deceased Wayan Sujana. The victim’s ashes had been carried to the residence of the family at Banyuwedang hamlet, Pejarakan village, Gerokgak, through the assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and representative of Malaysia Airlines. On that day, the family immediately performed cremation ceremony and further procession to Janna Beach. Other than being closer to the house, the location was selected because it had special memories to the deceased Sujana where during his lifetime he often planted mangroves and preserved coral reef.

“We have released the death of our son sincerely, sir. After the ashes were brought home and found out if my son has died, my relief and sadness mixed together. He was immediately made a cremation ceremony in order that the soul of our son can be more peaceful,” said Ketut Ginastra accompanied by his wife Wayan Sukri. (kmb34)

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will travel to Russia’s backyard for the second time this year to assure nervous nations of his ironclad commitment to their security. But his objectives will be clouded by the West’s inability to halt the Russian aggression in Ukraine that has stoked fears in other former Soviet republics.

Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to only be increasing his provocations in the lead-up to Obama’s trip to Estonia for meetings with Baltic leaders and to Wales for a NATO summit. While Obama has warned that Putin could face more economic penalties, he also continues to resist calls for the U.S. to provide military support to help Ukrainian forces push back the Russian incursion.

The president’s response to the Ukraine crisis is just one element of a broader foreign policy approach that is drawing criticism from both opponents and allies who fear the White House is being too tentative in the face of global threats.

“I think Putin has sized up the West and figured that the most difficult sanctions against Russia and the arms necessary for the Ukrainians to be able to defend themselves

is not coming from the West, and we have to prove him wrong,” said Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Eugene Rumer, a former U.S. intelligence officer for Russia, said the inability of the U.S. and Europe to stop Putin so far is compounding fears in the countries near Russia’s borders. “They see Western responses as insufficient, which adds to their concerns,” said Rumer, who now runs the Russia and Eurasia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

The crisis between Russia and Ukraine has raised the stakes for this week’s NATO summit. Obama will press member states to increase their defense spending, and the alliance is expected to agree on plans to boost training missions and other military commitments in Central and Eastern European countries.

“We will see persistent rotation, persistent exercises to ensure that Estonia and that other countries in Central and Eastern Europe are provided the reassurance from NATO and the presence of NATO needed to meet their security needs,” said Charles Kupchan, the White House senior director for Europe.

NATO leaders this week will be asked to approve creation of a high-

readiness force and the stockpiling of military equipment and supplies in Eastern Europe to help protect member nations there against potential Russian aggression, the alliance’s secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said Monday. Analysts said member states near Russia’s borders will be particularly concerned about the level of U.S. military involvement in the expanded efforts.

“If there’s anything that the Baltics do trust within NATO, it’s a U.S. commitment,” said Kathleen Hicks, a former Pentagon official who now chairs the international studies department at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “So they will be pushing hard that that NATO contingent will have a heavy U.S. signal in it.” While Ukraine is not a NATO member, newly elected President Petro Poroshenko was scheduled to attend the summit.

Before arriving in Wales for the NATO meetings, Obama will make a symbolic show of Western support for the Baltics by traveling to Estonia.

Officials say he will repeat the assurances he made during a trip to Poland earlier this year, where he reiterated the U.S. commitment to Article 5 of the NATO charter, which states that an armed attack against one member state is to be considered an attack on the entire alliance.

Eyes on Apple for ‘next big thing’ on Sept. 9

Agence France-Presse

SAN FRANCISCO - Apple gadget lovers hungered for the “next big thing” on Thursday after the iconic company fired off invites to a mystery unveiling on Sept. 9. Fueling rampant speculation regarding what the company has in store was the fact that the event will be held in the same performing arts center in Silicon Valley where late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs introduced the Macintosh computer in 1984.

Flint Center for the Performing Arts on a college campus near Apple’s headquarters in the California city of

Cupertino has greater seating capacity than venues the company has traditionally used for media events.

Images of the center posted online showed that a construction project seemingly related to the Apple event

was taking shape behind white walls as tall as the building.

A security team guarded the

scene.

“Clearly, putting the event in a larger venue and erecting some mysterious building sends cues it is something dramatic and important,” Forrester analyst Frank Gillett said of Apple’s preparations.

“There is symbolism in that it is the place where the original Mac was introduced.”

Apple has remained tight-lipped about what is in store at the event, opting instead to let anticipation, speculation and excitement focus attention on the iPhone, iPad, iPod and Macintosh maker.

“We are all trying to read the tea leaves,” Gillett said.

“But, September is an excellent time to introduce the iPhone, as well as any new wearable gadget.”

The famously secretive company offered scant clues in emailed invites that showed the Sept. 9 date in large numbers over the words: “Wish we could say more.”

Rumors about Apple’s plans have been swirling for months, with many observers convinced a new-generation iPhone with a larger screen is on the horizon.

Gartner analyst Van Baker was certain that Apple will unveil an iPhone 6 with a screen increased to 4.7 inches, and that odds were strong for a 5.5inch version of the smartphone.

Apple typically updates its product cycle in the second half of the year, getting a lift from holiday sales. Apple is fine-tuning a new operating system that will allow for mobile payments and includes a health platform, which could mesh nicely with an “iWatch” for tracking activity, sleep, pulse and more. The system, iOS8, is expected to be in the new iPhones.

District in Bali anticipates ISIS infiltration Antara

DENPASAR - The Karangasem district government in the island resort of Bali has collaborated with all organizations and religious institutions to anticipate the infiltration of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) ideology, noted an official.

“To anticipate possible infiltration of the ISIS ideology, we are strengthening communication with all organizations and religious institutions here,” Karangasem district government spokesman I. Putu Arawa stated on Tuesday.

He also called on all public elements in the district to jointly counter the movement of ISIS in Indonesia, particularly in Karan-

gasem district.

Arawa noted that all religious organizations and public elements in the district have signed a joint statement to reject the presence of the ISIS radical movement in the district and the country.

Head of the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) Retired Inspector General Ansyaad Mbai called on all elements of the nation to be alert regarding the presence

of the organization that embraces a radical ideology.

“There is no nation, religion, or community that requires the presence of ISIS,” Ansyaad Mbai affirmed in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, on Monday.

He remarked that ISIS has the potential to grow its terrorist base in certain pockets in Indonesia.

Therefore, the BNPT has urged community organizations, scholars,

religious leaders, including universities, to prevent the spread of the radical ideology in Indonesia.

“The BNPT has established partnerships with several universities, especially with Islamic universities in Indonesia,” he affirmed.

ISIS actions have drawn accusations between countries in the Middle East, and even some Indonesians have accused certain countries.

In fact, ISIS came into existence after acquiring weapons and controlling oil fields to capitalize on their movements.

“Iraq has accused Arab countries of supporting the ISIS. Others ac-

cuse that the west is behind ISIS. It is just an assumption without a strong foundation,” Ansyaad pointed out.

Southeast Sulawesi Police Chief Brigadier General Arkian Lubis remarked that the police are working hard to detect the presence of individuals that undermine the comfort and safety of the public.

“It is fair that ISIS targets police officers because they block the organization’s mission,” he remarked.

The Southeast Sulawesi police have continued to cooperate with all elements of the community in order to maintain safety and security.

Growing tourism industry shouldn’t harm environment

Antara

DENPASAR - The growing tourism industry in Bali should not harm the environment and culture, stated President

elect Joko “Jokowi” Widodo recently.

“I hope that the development of the tourism sector will not damage the local environment and culture,” Jokowi recently

noted here.

He also expressed hope that Bali will continue to remain a first-class tourism destination.

He underscored the importance of protecting the ecology while

developing the tourism industry.

“I heard that southern Bali is too crowded and is being pushed too far. The environment must not be harmed due to tourism,”

he emphasized.

Jokowi lauded the traditional cultural institutions of Bali for consistently preserving the Balinese tradition and culture.

Startups offer banking for smartphone users Associated Press

NEW YORK— The latest banks are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Startups, such as Moven and Simple, offer banking that’s designed specifically for smartphones, enabling users to track their spending on the go. Some things haven’t changed. Like traditional banks, customers open a checking account, get a debit card and are able to make check deposits and pay their bills.

Like many Internet banks before them, they have no maintenance or overdraft fees, there are no physical branches and depositing cash is a challenge. What makes Moven and Simple different is their apps.

Every time a debit card is swiped at

a store, a notification is sent to the phone letting the user know how much was spent and how much money is left in the account.

“It makes them mindful of what they spend,” says Alex Sion, president and co-founder of Moven, comparing it to fitness activity trackers. “What Fitbit and Nike Fuel does for your health, we do for your wallet.”

Both services automatically categorize purchases to provide an overview of what was spent on groceries, dining out or other areas over time. With Simple, users can set goals, such as saving up for a new bike, and the app will show how much needs to be saved every day to meet that goal.

Moven and Simple say most of their users are between the ages of 25 and 36, an age group that is often ignored by bigger banks who are more concerned with customers who have more money in their accounts. Portland, Oregon-based Simple, says it has more than 100,000 customers. Moven, which is based in New York, declined to say how many customers it has.

The two companies make money from fees merchants pay every time customers swipe their debit card.

The accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, but Moven and Simple don’t actually hold the money that customers deposit. Moven, which launched for public use in March,

partners with CBW Bank which holds the deposits. Simple, which was acquired by Spanish bank BBVA earlier this year, partners with The Bancorp Bank for its deposits.

The two services are not for everyone. Neither one of them offer savings accounts. But both Moven and Simple say that they may be offered in the future. Neither mobile bank lends money, so those seeking personal loans or a credit card need to look elsewhere.

But no-frills banking is enough for some.

John Carr opened a Simple account in 2012 when the service was still in being tested by a small group of customers. He quickly closed his

accounts at Bank of America where he was getting charged overdraft and ATM fees. He keeps a savings account at a military bank in Texas.

Carr, 35, has his pay sent directly to his Simple account. To pay his rent, he uses Simple’s bill pay function to send a paper check to his oldschool landlord every month. When he wanted to save $1,600 for a new laptop, he used the app to come up with a six-month budget.

The app also made him realize he was spending too much on fast food and gas. So he cut down on eating out and now rides the subway to get to his information technology job at a Los Angeles movie studio. “It’s saved me so much,” says Carr.

Two hamlets at Yangapi facing water crisis hamlets. However, they were still more fortunate because their area still had a spring that could be utilized.

To overcome the water crisis at the two hamlets, said Adnyana, the Bangli government had previously drilled to a certain depth, but such an effort failed. So, the residents were still difficult to get clean water.

Against the condition, Adnyana kept on hoping that Bangli government could find a way out for the problem. “Hopefully, this condition can find a way out, especially for the people who live in the northern region. The region incidentally has no spring at all,” he hoped. (ina)

Having no spring

Difficulty to get clean water was recognized by headman of Yangapi, Made Adnyana, Monday (Sep 1). He said that to meet the needs of clean water, hundreds of residents living at Kubusuih and Tingat hamlet were forced to buy it at a quite expensive price of IDR 200,000 per truck. Such condition happened because both hamlets indeed did not have any springs.

According to him, with the majority of residents having the livelihood as farmers, the clean water crisis would be considered very hard. He said that similar condition was also experienced by residents at several other

NEGARA - After the fire incident afflicting to dozens of kiosks and stalls in Pekutatan public market, Friday night (Aug 29), trading activities in the market has not recovered yet. Some traders whose stall and space engulfed by the fire are still traumatized as they found their location and goods totally burned out. Until Monday (Sep 1), debris of the buildings still littered.

Dozens of traders lost their merchandise and space to do selling. Some of them are still shocked due to the incident. Surely it will take long time to recover their business.

One of the security guards of the market met last Monday revealed that previously the market was also on fire in 1991. A total of 8 stores, 12 kiosks and 11 stalls burned out. They were all located in the western block of the Pekutatan public market.

Subdistrict head of Pekutatan, Ketut Eko Susila, when met on Monday said the greengrocers and canang sellers whose kiosk was on fire were temporarily relocated to location of

the night market on the north side.

Based on data collection, he said there were dozens of stalls burned out along with stall P and stall O. A total of 21 stalls were completely on fire. “They burned out with merchandise. The most serious incident afflicted the stalls in the market,” he explained. For the time being, the market only left the building debris and they would be cleaned up through mutual assistance.

According to him, the subdistrict and Pekutatan village officers would ask for help to local Military Region Command to clean up the market debris. For short term, the regional enterprise (Perusda) and Jembrana Industry, Trade and Cooperative Agency would build shanties to accommodate the traders whose kiosk and stall were on fire. “As planned, it will be built in front area as temporary shanty,” he added.

Meanwhile, based on the results of forensic examination, the cause of fire was electrical short circuit. Chief of the Jembrana Police Criminal Investigation, Gusti Made Sudarma

Putra, with permission from the Chief of Jembrana Police said on Monday (Sep 1) that the results of forensic laboratory found if the fire was kindled by the insulation failure on electrical wires and the cables did not meet standard quality. According to this officer from Bangli, the evidence had also been secured including wires and chipped copper cables and the ashes of the burned stuff.

The findings indicated if the cables did not comply with the standard and were installed by the traders, not by the installer of PLN. As a result, the connector did not get plugged firmly into the socket. Besides, it was also found many cables connected to bulb fitting and large cables. Necessarily, one block used one MCB, but in fact, some blocks only used one MCB. According to Sudarma Putra, the fire incident occurred at the Pekutatan market began from stall P, kiosk 17 and kiosk 18 belonging to Gusti Putu Artawan that sold fabrics. Meanwhile, a number of witnesses saw if the fire began from stall 49 belonging to Ni Komang Hendrayanti. (kmb26)

JLaw’s nude photo case

Inquiries begin into nude celebrity photo leaks Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The FBI said Monday it was addressing allegations that online accounts of several celebrities, including Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, had been hacked, leading to the posting of their nude photographs online. The agency did not say what actions it was taking to investigate who was responsible for posting naked photos of Lawrence and other stars. Apple said Monday it was looking into whether its online photo-sharing service had been hacked to obtain the intimate images.

Dan Steinberg/Invision/AP, File

Lawrence, a three-time Oscar nominee who won for her role in “Silver Linings Playbook,” contacted authorities after the images began appearing Sunday.

Naked images purporting to be of other female stars were also posted, although the authenticity of many couldn’t be confirmed.

The source of the leak was unclear.

“This is a flagrant violation of privacy,” Lawrence’s publicist Liz Mahoney wrote in a statement. “The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.”

The FBI said it was “aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter.”

“Any further comment would be inappropriate at this time,” spokeswoman Laura Eimiller wrote in a statement.

Apple Inc. spokeswoman Natalie Kerris

said the company was investigating whether any iCloud accounts had been tampered with, but she did not give any further details.

Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead also confirmed that nude photos of her were posted online. “To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves,” Winstead posted on Twitter. Winstead, who starred in “Final Destination 3” and “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” wrote that she thought the images had been destroyed.

“Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this,” Winstead wrote.

The FBI has investigated previous leaks of nude celebrity images, including leaks involving Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera and footage of television sports reporter Erin Andrews in a Tennessee hotel room. Those cases resulted in convictions.

Bali flooded by imported products

Bali Post

DENPASAR - Aside from being flooded with foreign travelers, Bali also receives an abundance of products imported from various countries, especially China. The country has share of 63.71 percent of the total import value which reaches USD 21,473,353 in July 2014.

The Head of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Bali, Panusunan Siregar, said the products imported into the Island of the Gods increased during this period. The increase in the import value was quite staggering, reaching 129.02 percent over the same period in the previous year reaching USD 9,376,131. This figure also increased 170.05 percent compared to June 2014 amounting to USD 7,951,572.

“Fortunately, the products brought into Bali were not food and textile products such as rice, meat, clothing or other vital products. So, they do not bring in negative impact for the economy,” said Panusunan Siregar.

He explained that the main commodities imported to Bali included mechanical products, jewelry, essential oils, perfumery cosmetics, electrical appliances and

lime. Their respective percentage was 66.05 percent, 10.46 percent, 5.90 percent, 3.36 percent and 1.80 percent.

“Those products include supporting tools, such as agricultural machinery, processor of raw materials and heavy equipment. On that account, we are actually benefited with these imports, as they can support the economy,” he said.

He mentioned the cumulative imported goods of Bali province in July 2014 reached USD 183,948,093 or 70.53 percent increase compared to the condition of previous year reaching USD 107,871,130. “In addition to China, we also import some products from Thailand, Germany, Australia,

United States and Switzerland,” he said.

Meanwhile, Prof. Dr. IB Raka Suardana expressed that disruption of Indonesia was not only in terms of security, but also a threat to the cultural assets in the form of culture and local products having faced the free trade. Moreover, the younger generation of this nation preferred to use imported products and was ashamed of using domestic products. Actually, loving Indonesian products could reflect how great the love of people in this nation was.

“Apparently, young people do not feel guilty when putting on or consuming imported products.

Even, they have a different kind

of pride when using imported products. In the matter of fashion products, our young generation does not feel guilty when showing off that what they wear is other’s product,” he said.

To that end, he said there should be a mindset change in the community when wishing to increase the use of domestic products.

“Who should start? They must be pioneered by the officials, leaders, those becoming role models, artists, lecturers and teachers. If they have given an example for the use of domestic product, then their followers such as the community, employees, pupils and students will inevitably follow,” he explained.
